861  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Devin Haney vs Vasiliy Lomachenco - May 20 on: April 26, 2023, 12:32:50 PM
Not seems because Lomachenko is indeed not the favorite in this fight and actually he is a 3:1 underdog, that's how the bookies list him. Can't even blame them because Loma disappeared from the scene and when he got back, he was not the kind of Loma that we used to see anymore, many of us are curious why and what happened to him.
I think Loma is still same, Ortiz was show a good fight against Loma, Loma was a bit struggled, but still managed to win. Maybe due to Russian invasion in the last year, it make Loma didn't focus to train himself as the Ukraine's citizens forced to fight for his country. Not sure if he joined to fight too, but for sure that incident make him can't focus and trying to find a way to make him safe.

That's probably the main reason why he was emotionally and mentally affected, which led to his unimpressive performance. For this fight, I'm sure he is 100% ready, but people are thinking that Loma will lose again against Haney because he is already past his prime. Let's wait and see if Loma can still prove those who doubted him wrong.

This fight will be interesting, it's very rare to see Loma as an underdog.
And that is an opportunity for me, I'm taking it without hesitation.

What a show from Jimmy Butler last night against Bucks with a total of 56 points! I'm currently watching the 2nd half because that is where I felt asleep and I still cannot believe it that Miami took the game and they are leading the series 3-1. Giannis what a rough night with only 26 points and it was all on Lopez for scoring points and sames goes for Middleton who forgot how to score 3 pointers...

I hope they gonna win this series because the Bucks are not really in the mood to win the championship this year because Giannis is not a hundred percent OK and Jimmy Butler's playoffs mode is activated right now and they might gonna rally sooner and jump to the next round after they successfully win this last game. If that happened, surely the best match possible is against the Knicks because they are also surprisingly winning the series as well, and playing the next round with the Heat will surely test their skills.

The Heat have suddenly become a dangerous team this playoffs. I'm sure other teams will respect them if they beat the number 1 team in the East. If they face the New York Knicks, who are also good defensively, it should be a great series since the Heat can play a defensive game too. They're a flexible team when it comes to basketball styles.

If the second round matchup is Heat vs Knicks, will the Heat take the home court advantage because they beat the number 1 team, or will we still base it on the regular season rankings?
863  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Alejandro Santiago for WBC bantamweight title on: April 25, 2023, 01:45:51 PM

I agree, which is why he is pursuing even at his age now to become a world champion once again because he can't just leave the division mainly now that there's nobody dominating it. Without Inoue in the same division, he is surely the right boxer who should own it now but I'm just quite confused because they should've made an announcement this month regarding the details and the date of the fight.

There might be waiting for the right timing because if they happened to choose a date that will conflict with other star boxers, their earnings will not be that high. Anyway, this is not really a problem for them since they know what they're doing but the problem here is with the boxer because as much as they delayed it more, the chance for the boxers to get injured will increase and it will probably cost them much because the fight will gonna be canceled if that's gonna happen. They should also consider the age of Donaire, he has only a little time left they really need to rush this fight.

We cannot say they are delaying it because we have no idea when this fight will happen.

We are just speculating that it will happen this year, but until an official announcement has been made, we should not expect it to happen soon.

Promoters will ensure that they make money on this fight. We know that lower weight divisions don't attract crowds compared to higher weight divisions, so timing is very important to ensure that this will result in a win-win situation for both boxers and promoters of the fight.

As a person, you cannot set yourself obstacles, because if that is the case, you will always be Limited,one person can say that to another and I would Feel strongly to say that I will not agree, because it may be that you do not have the means to buy bitcoin right now, but you cannot limit your brain to the fact that you will not have it because you will not have it, on the Contrary, you must think about how to obtain more bitcoin and have that search always, it is the only way to do it, otherwise you will not be able to,be a very positive person.


Also, as a person who have goal, we should know the possible obstacles that we will face.  We have to plan ahead and think of ways to face these obstacles with ease.  I think whether @OP can own 1 whole Bitcoin or not depends on his capacity and dedication.  If he had decided himself that he will never have 1 whole BTC, then it will mostly happen but if @OP thinks that he can accumulate whole Bitcoin the that will serve as motivation in his journey to 1 whole Bitcoin.

I also agree that we shouldn't limit ourselves of any possible potentials in the future.  Even though it may look hard to accumulate BTC but with dedication and willpower, we will able to accumulate it even in a small part.  
While the price of Bitcoin become expensive, people got it hard to accumulate more, unlike when it was just $100. But it was not because of its current price or because we don't have the motivation to save them. It was noticed that when Bitcoin was also accepted as payment, it was easy for people to use it and spend like fiat money. The behavior of the people changed as the development continue because before we think that Bitcoin is precious than gold but for now, it was just a normal thing - it comes to us and then just passed by.
865  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: do not exceed your targets on: April 24, 2023, 09:33:33 PM
It means that we have to set our goal as somewhat realistic. Unfortunately, the mentality of the people usually makes it fail because at the moment that the price goes high, they then started thinking maybe it rises more than our preferred price of selling so I still hold. Not bad isn't it but in this case, we already make our goal ruins. Because I see that it was hard to follow our plan if we are also emotionally stressed and greedy, it was hard to stay on our targets when our mind never focuses on it but instead, we got influenced by news and rumors around.
866  Economy / Economics / Re: it's so risky! on: April 23, 2023, 09:53:03 PM
I don't invest money easily in any asset because of fear of losing that money. i think of investing 80% of total savings.
do taking risk is important or not?

please quote all question and answer it's very helpful for me and others.
Well, doesn't change the risk but have to think that 80% is already a huge amount. However, if you think that you can afford to lose this amount in crypto, that's up to you. More capital, more profit as well but of course, you are about to lose big also if you fail and are not careful with your actions. I challenge you OP to think it several times.

Having 20-30% for start-up was good enough. You can actually add more when you are fully ready and knowledgeable enough about crypto.
867  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: We are about to enter altcoin season, what do you think? on: April 21, 2023, 06:38:47 AM
At this point when people say altcoin, they do not think about ETH, it is so much bigger and doing so well that people think about other stuff, coins that are lower than that. Even other top 10 coins considered as altcoin but not many of them really gets considered as highly as ETH which is why there are confusions sometimes.
Because people think that altcoins are those projects that give them x1000 profit. They are looking for gems, so if they are investing in altcoins certainly ETH is not their option, especially for those who just come during the recovery but rather take those new projects.
Quote
But back to being in altcoin season, I think when we hit altcoin season, bitcoin will not stay silent neither, we are going to see that go up as well and it should be doing fine. I personally believe that everything will go up, not just eth or btc but ALL coins will go up. That is how it happened so far and I am confident that it will probably be the case for the future as well and shouldn't change anytime soon.
Sadly, many people had never know actually about the market situation. They pertain to thinking that whatever happens to altcoins is not because of Bitcoin and we know that it all lies in it. Altcoins will just pump when Bitcoin does first and many people had missed this thing.

My Bet is on Stephen Curry PRA Over 43.5

Nice hit! The total was 45 (points 36 - rebounds 6 - assists 3).

It was a big win for the Warriors, even without Draymond Green. They played dominant basketball, especially Curry, who had a great shooting percentage. Everyone got involved, especially Wiggins, who was the second-best scorer.
869  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: 10k investment on: April 20, 2023, 09:24:50 AM
Hi All,

Just an update, appreciate everyone’s input so far. I have done 10k into ADA as it stands, I do have another pot I started back in August as well, this has various coins including eth and is currently up about 4k overall.

I have been in crypto a while but only started in the last bull run so didn’t make any real profits, I have been sitting on the sidelines since waiting for the right time to invest along with doing a lot of research into different projects.

Paul
It looks like you really did what you think is right. Well, I have nothing to say but good luck and hope you make a good profit this time.
You can't expect some members will support you in purchasing ADA as it was not the smart choice ever but yes, it was you who could decide and I think you already know what awaits you then.
Though ADA is not really performing so well, however, this project is one of the promising crypto projects and it possibly pumps during the bull season.
870  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading Signals vs Own Analysis on: April 20, 2023, 09:04:58 AM
Trading signals are those signals that manipulators are well aware of. Therefore, false triggering of these signals is now not uncommon. Therefore, it is more reliable to use your own strategy - the main thing is that your strategy should be based on some real results, and have a certain theoretical basis.
And it was best to make decisions on our own, not others nor these manipulators. These signals may useful for some things but can't say that they are reliable enough to rely on. We have to learn to do analysis somehow because this is the ticker for our success, not these trading signals. It is just like standing our own feet, making decision based of what we see on the market chart, not because someone doing it as we never know how clever they are in doing this or just for the sake of money.
871  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: April 20, 2023, 07:59:36 AM
Congratulations on another profitable day, @YuginKadoya. It's easy to predict the outcomes of the playoffs now, and we can make easy money if the trend continues. Tomorrow, I predict all the home teams will win: Warriors, Nets, and Clippers. I'll take the spread for the favorites and the moneyline for the underdogs.

In my opinion, this is the best chance to use the martingale strategy since we have a higher chance of winning due to the high predictability of the game outcomes. However for the Warriors and Nets, if they still lose in game 3, I would not bother doubling in game 4 as swept is possible.
872  Economy / Gambling / Re: Limited in every bookmaker on: April 20, 2023, 07:25:53 AM

And even if a bookmaker does limit him for winning every time, he shouldn't be limited in every other bookmaker as well, and if he is limited everywhere, that clearly means that he has violated a rule that every bookmaker has and is limited by all of them.

If a gambler is caught cheating, the casino should not just limit their account, but rather ban or close it. Limiting is the right action if a gambler is winning a lot of money, and it's just normal. However, maybe you just can't believe the story of OP because it says that he is very good in gambling.
873  Economy / Economics / Re: Automating your savings will help you save more on: April 19, 2023, 09:57:44 PM
Well, it is really necessary to save money for unexpected needs and rainy days. We don’t know what tomorrow will bring for us, that’s why we should be prepared and adapt ourselves for each new situation. Unfortunately, a lot people over spending money on useless items and goods. It is really disappointing how humans being materialistic, they judge on your appearance over your personality. In my opinion, you should save at least 15-20% of your salary and in case you have available time, try to find a part time job, that would help to gain more money. In addition to that, it is certain Bitcoin is a good investment especially in long term but it is preferable to purchase only what you can afford to lose.
Any amount to save is very important even if we are not consistent in doing at least we have some savings.
What I did now is I have a schedule alarm when I have to put money in my savings account. Honestly, it was a little bit difficult to start doing this but when it becomes habitual, everything works so easily. But I see that having a purpose for saving could help us to encourage savings more compares to just saving for emergencies, that is why I change it and yeah, it motivates me a lot.
874  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is it advisable to invest on Solana? on: April 19, 2023, 09:39:36 PM
Hello buddies, I am considering buying Solana coins and holding for a very long time. I want to know if this is a good idea before forging ahead to buy it.

Thanks for your responses.
Well, the performance of this project is quite convincing but we're not sure how it performs in the next few years especially when your intention is to hold them long-term. I may say it was one of the lists for many investors but holding them should also depend on how it performs. Unlike when choosing ETH or Bitcoin, you can really have peace of mind holding them for many years but in this project and of these several altcoins, it was hard to assume that they will turn good just like what they have currently shown to us.
875  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you agree with ChatGPT on the club that might win the premier League? on: April 19, 2023, 12:32:37 PM
Don't trust Chat GPT for your gambling needs. It may supply you with incorrect information. Chat GPT is not always updated on current events, and most of the data it uses are from the past. If you're a gambler who wants to win, you need to do your own research (DYOR).

You can ask Chat GPT for the history of a team, such as stats, as it may provide that information.

However, when it comes to the chances of winning, which is what we're looking for, it certainly will not give you an accurate answer.
876  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Alejandro Santiago for WBC bantamweight title on: April 19, 2023, 11:55:44 AM
It would be nice if he retired as the undisputed champion. That would be the ultimate success in his current division.
I really hope he wins, but it's not going to be easy for sure, and he needs to start working towards his goal by winning this championship fight. After that, there will be a unification fight, and then the undisputed fight, which means he will have to stay consistent and keep winning for a couple of years for that to come true.

Remember that Donaire is also getting older, so age could be a big factor here, which I see as a disadvantage for him. His power and speed may be affected.
877  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: April 19, 2023, 11:15:11 AM
Yes, but it's not enough to help the Clippers with the game even if Westbrook did do a good job tonight. And that curse has been broken too, so it could be a good sign that the Suns might win this series? Lol.
They played good defense in the second half and not allow the Clippers to made a comeback. It was Booker and Durant, probably becoming the most dangerous 1-2 team mates in this playoff.

This is how the playoff games should be when both teams are good they will exchange win all over again up to game 7. If the Clippers will win the next game, there will be a high chance that we will see a game 7 in this playoff series. So far they are the teams that will gonna be tense and will not easily get to round two of the NBA playoffs. the other bouts that already won 2 straight games are already found their rhythms and might gonna easily sweep their opponent quickly and head to round two waiting for their next opponents.

I guess it's Game 6 now, hehe. I just love the Clippers at the moment. Leonard has been unstoppable, and I like that he is the main anchor of the offense because he is more effective that way. Westbrook is a good complement for Leonard, as he also plays good defense. Even without PG, this team will give a headache to the Phoenix Suns.

Remember that Booker is inconsistent in the playoffs, so let's see if he can still play like he did in Game 2.
878  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: April 18, 2023, 05:25:47 AM
They are good at making the script work, so what's it going to be - Gin Kings in Game 5 or TNT?

Ginebra needs to win game 5, as they'll be in danger if they lose again.

Did you see the 3-point shooting of TNT in the last game? They were so efficient. If Ginebra allows that to happen again, they will certainly lose.

However, if they work on their defense, I'm pretty sure they can get the win. Overall, it comes down to the team's defense, and Ginebra is known for having a good defense. That's why it's very unacceptable to see TNT having a shooting spree.
879  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: April 18, 2023, 02:33:49 AM
I hope Jordan Poole will play, but regardless, I think the Warriors' roster is still capable of winning, so I like the Warriors to win.

He did play, and what's good now is that the Kings' 3-point shooting is not going in. The Warriors are leading early, but we cannot tell until the game is over. So far, it's a very entertaining game, and the defense was really evident. The crowd is loving it since the Kings haven't been in the playoffs for a while.
880  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What could have happened to all meme coins on: April 17, 2023, 10:16:34 PM
majority of them are done for, there's certainly reason why many always advice, if you are investing in meme coin at least invest in coin that have good trading volume so at least you can easily liquidate your assets if you truly need it, now so many of meme coins out there dying, because while they have no utility at all, they are also need to maintain their trading volume so they're not getting delisted, but right now the flow of investments going towards these meme coin in general has been significantly reduced, that I think it'd hard for them to ever regain their former glory at all.
I'd say, it's always better watch out if you have any investment in these meme coin for any potential delisting which could turn your meme coin value into nothing, basically you can lose all your money, or maybe you should just move over your meme coins investment to the other more famous meme coin like shib and doge, at least they're guaranteed not getting listed, since their trading volume are still quite high enough, even though there are some other meme coin that might make some comeback in the future.
On the other hand, investing in meme coins is too risky especially if we aim for the long term.
I know that many people are still buying some of these meme coins like Doge and Shiba, and many people are riding the hyped. And the reason why they are doing this is that they also know that these coins could give them profit when selling them in timing. These coins are good for the short term but if we think about the future of these projects, doubted see them still alive. Maybe Dogecoin and Shiba Inu still exist but I don't think the others.
