As for Paul George, I agree on this one but the roster's been lock and good luck to USA team to the Olympics.

Yeah, he deserved a spot as after his serious injury, got healed and has been playing still like his prime. PG13 could add more depth on the team USA but the current roster are strong enough to bring home the gold. They don't want to make the same mistake again like what happen during the FIBA world, now they are gonna send the NBA's best players (USA ONLY) to ensure a win.

as we can see on the betting odds, team USA is still the heavy favorite with -500 odds, follow by Serbia with +750, but there's a huge difference.

Thought converge are going to upset the SMB, but they were just good in the first half and the 3rd quarter alone, SMB have elimited the lead of the Converge. I can't believe the 3rd quarter scoring, 51-20 in favor of SMB, this is the first time I saw a team got outscored that high. Anyway, on the gamblers, converge still cover as it ended as SMB winning by 9 points only.

On the current game now, Ginebra vs TN, this has become a very exciting game, Ginebra started strong but TNT got back in the 2nd quarter and were able to tie the game at the half. Now it's Ginebra that is leading with less than 5 minutes left in the game, let's see if they'll get this W.

Got excited by this match and would definitely place a bet on this. But I've read some articles and posts about the rules of the match (not sure if they were legit sources), that there will be no judges and the only way to win is via knock out? If this is the case, I think Mike Tyson will still have the edge despite his age, he is still monster in the ring just check out his last match with Roy Jones Jr. he definitely still has the power and just take a look at the weight difference between the two and the experience of Mike, I would definitely sure he'll knocked him out.

But the odds tells differently, they are in favor of Jake Paul.

There might be an odds of the fight as this article have stated the exact odds.

Quote
The latest Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson odds reveal a narrowing gap, with Paul currently holding a 62.3% chance of victory at -165 money line odds. Initially, Paul was a heavy favorite, with odds peaking at -350 or higher before adjusting downward.

https://www.marca.com/en/boxing/2024/04/18/662161e322601d405a8b45ce.html

Huge line movement, from -350 to -165 now, Tyson's statement probably had helped him gain some confidence from the boxing community.
Yes he is old but he'll not gonna fight a young boxer if he isn't confident enough that he could win, so let's see if he still have that power in his tank to go toe to toe against a young boxer like Paul.
5  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Nery For Undisputed 122lbs Title - May on: April 19, 2024, 07:15:59 AM
^^ He had a good promoter already, had the blue print to make him successful because he is the one who carried Manny Pacquiao to greatness. But it seems that Bob Arum is being overpowered by the Japanese manager and Arum doesn't want any strife for now that's why he let it be that Inoue fights in Japan.

But there will be time that Arum should insists from Inoue and his camp to move to the US to fight at least once a year. It's not that bad plan to begin with and obviously it will carry a lot of money as well like how Arum carefully guided Manny Pacquiao's career.
There's probably a plan about that already, Bob Arum would certainly want to maximize his money on Inoue but they are just taking it slowly. Inoue is still in his prime and maybe the next time he'll move up in weight, that's where they'll need Bob Arum to do his job.

Let's be patient, maybe after this fight, Inoue will realize that he is ready to move up as he had already dominated the super bantamweight division. I can see the list of champions in the higher division, they aren't even as popular as Inoue, so I'm sure we will see the same scanario like in his current division.
6  Economy / Gambling / Re: What are your expectations for Casino coins in this coming bull run? on: April 19, 2024, 05:28:06 AM
To tell you frankly, I don't really pay much attention to that. But I did research on that matter, and I saw that RLB really has potential, and in my opinion,
it can rise or keep up because it already has an established community in the crypto space.

Then his market cap is also not bad because his circulating supply is almost more than 50% of his total maximum supply, so this is a good point of review to say that he really has potential.

It has a potential because even though they aren't listed in major exchange yet but currently their volume is already over $2 million (24 hours)... So I agree with you, this could be one of the best investment for casino coin, and with this total supply, the current price could rise to x10 or $1 at least.

Yes, that's basically what happen, Kings are strong and there's no way the Warriors can keep up with them.
Both teams are strong and are on the same level, the reason why both are in the play-in.
Maybe the Warriors just had a very bad game, but since it's a do or die game, their chance has now been over.

Now, they are going to face the Pelicans and without Zion, the Pels chances are slim. But as what we say, the ball is round so who knows. The Pels still have the home court advantage here.
I can't be too overconfident even if the Pelicans doesn't have Zion. Remember that the Kings doesn't have Monk and Huerter as well, so they are even. 
Zion has been great but everyone needs to step up as they need to protect their home court, a win here will give Zion more time to rest and who knows, he might be able to come back in the series against the OKC Thunder.

But it seems the discussions is with the Lakers vs Nuggets, in terms of depth it looks like the Lakers has the advantage with their starter fight and players coming off from the bench. But they will have to face the defending champion and a former MVP and a high basketball IQ in Jokic.
I don't see the having the advantage as in this season, they haven't won a single game.
Look at their history of games record ; https://www.covers.com/sport/basketball/nba/matchup/298382

There's possibility that this is another made up story by a newbie (OP) because he doesn't provide any evidence in the post. He provided  link that doesn't work (not working on my side, I don't know about others). Well, if we base it on his last post, it seems to end on a positive post. Perhaps he has already received his money by now. If he hasn't received it yet, he'll likely keep posting in this thread. Hopefully OP will come back soon to update us on what happened with his money. lol
What exactly would be achieve by faking this story? Personally, I don't think that he is lying though I do find it weird that he effectively abandoned the forum after mentioning that he was contacted by their team.

I still don't think he will ever see his money again frankly speaking though I might be wrong. Let's see if he will ever return to update his situation in this thread.

If the problem was solve then he should update to be fair with 1xBet. But there are really gamblers who doesn't update once their problem is solve, OP is probably one of them. However, knowing the reputation of 1xBet, we can also speculate that maybe OP got tired and just forgot his money.

We don't know what had happen already, but regardless, solving few while leaving more scam accusations stil unressolve doesn't make them earn their good reputation back, so it's still a site to avoid if you'll ask me.

The price fell by 3.78% today,Current price $61748.But it’s still a price I can’t afford
Well, you don’t have to buy the whole portion of bitcoin for you to start investing. Just buy a portion that you can afford to lose while bitcoin price is still low. I suggest don’t wait too long for a drastic price drop as we can’t actually guarantee if the price will consistently move downward or it will eventually rise up again. Buy now and hold your bitcoin so you can at least ride with the upcoming bitcoin halving.
12  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Isn't Altcoin a distraction to Bitcoin adoption? on: April 17, 2024, 11:53:16 PM
This begs the question, what if we had only Bitcoin?

The attention would definitely be focused primarily towards bitcoin only and we would finally prevent misinformation from spreading.

Although I doubt that there would be totally no misinformation left even without the presence of altcoins. I am sure that many people are still going to make the wrong choice and would lose some money into bitcoin and then complain that bitcoin is a scam.


Even if we have altcoins in the real crypto space, still bitcoin gains the highest attention that’s why we are looking forward for bitcoin to become mainstream in the future. Although some would still be attracted to altcoins most especially those who have limited funds, but that won’t stop the majority from trusting and sticking to bitcoin, not because it’s highly productive and profitable, but also because of its sustainability and high security in the market.
13  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading Leverage on: April 17, 2024, 11:26:11 PM
In life, leverage is good as it helps to help us accomplish a goal faster. But in trading, leverage in trading is clearly a bad deal. It messes things up for both the traders and the market. So my question is why do exchanges still offer them. They keep pushing it to traders like favourite snack?
Exchanges are running a business, so it’s normal for them to offer leverage trading so they can also gain profits out from those leverage trading transaction costs. And while these traders are mostly greedy, most particularly those beginner traders, they eventually grab those ideas so they can start maximizing their profits at a short term duration. Not realizing that using leverage in trading gets even more risky, most especially if you are still not inclined in that form of trading.
14  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Jake Paul to Fight Mike Tyson in Live Netflix Boxing Event - July 20 on: April 17, 2024, 01:41:18 PM
Apparently it's Netflix's tendency to invest in fights. It doesn't make much sense, but it's a niche to be explored. Apparently they will just be fights that will be promoted as they would have no appeal if not for Netflix.

It's a new venture for them to invest in boxing fights, they think that they can make a lot of money from it and so they got the most hype fighter in the whole exhibition fight genre and that is Jake Paul.

And then paying Tyson in millions, that is a big gamble for them but for sure they are counting on the popularity of Mike even though he is retired from pro-boxing. But Tyson has his own podcast if I'm not mistaken, and so he is still expose to fights and boxing fans and we still love him. So this is another way for him to make money and at the same time be active even at his age.

I see this as a way of Netflix to gain more subscribers. It doesn't necessarily make them create a lot of money with the new subscriptions due to this fight, but if we look at the long term result, these people that will subscribe which is considered as new, might just continue to renew their subs and that's where the Netflix are making more money consistently.

Make sense, because according to report, this event is free to view for the existing subscribers, so those who arent's subscribed with netflix for sure will pay for the subsciption since it's very affordable. Aside from their share on Netflix, these two are also gonna enjoy the revenue they'll make on the venue since people are gonna come to witness this exciting fight, they'll come to see Mike Tyson teach Jake Paul some lesson.
15  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: April 17, 2024, 01:09:28 PM
Safe to say congrats in advance to the Sacramento Kings. So in the first round of the playoffs, we'll see Thunders vs Kings.
I think the Kings have a real shot at beating the Thunder, but I believe they still have to get through the Pelicans first.
Yes the Kings have to face the Pelicans and the Thunder will take on the winner. It's a tough game to predict since both teams are likely to miss their key players. I don't think Zion will be a 100% even if he returns to the line up but the Pelicans will probably still get the job done. Ingram has to wake up and play for real for that to happen.

Ingram is on a limited minutes, he is coming from a injury and maybe they don't want to force the issue with him. Although I was surprised that the Pelicans didn't give CJ enough time in the 4th quarter. I would understand though as Lebron James might take advantage of a switch and CJ guarding him. And the Pelicans went into a defensive mode in the 4th quarter that's why they were able to tie the game but when Zion got injured, it's a different story in the last 3 minute. I do agree that Zion will not be a 100% player in the next game and Kings better play good defense just like what they did against the Warriors to win their game against the Pelicans.

If it wasn't for Zion, we might have witness another blowout loss by the Pelicans.

Just look at the numbers of Ingram and McCollum, both scored 11 and 9 points respective, way below compared to their last game and their percentage were very poor. Zion lead the team, so when he was out due to injury in the clutch minutes, that also loss the confidence of the Pelicans. I know they  are used to playing without Zion, but this is the first time that they are complete, so it's a big blow on the team losing Zion when he is needed the most.
16  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is It Time to Buy More BTC? on: April 16, 2024, 11:59:44 PM
I was just wondering, if you don't buy more bitcoin right now, then when?
Price volatility gives you the opportunity to buy more bitcoin now, so if you hesitate to buy it now, you will regret it later after the halving.

I don't dare to guarantee that the price will rise 2x or higher after the halving, but you can prove it yourself by doing analysis. History has said that a new ATH is always hit after a halving, but you shouldn't believe history will repeat itself so you don't consider the risks. You can obviously buy a lot of bitcoins now, but don't ignore a good strategy for doing so. I've read a lot of wise advice in this thread, so just consider one of them.
Now is the best time to buy bitcoin while it is still experiencing a price correction. No need to wait for more price dips as we don’t hold assurance if bitcoin price will drop even more. The important thing is you start buying now and hold either for long term or short term, that’s already your own preference. This is to avoid yourself from regretting in the end, by not taking some opportunities to invest.

However, if you have some hesitations to purchase at the present price, then wait for a bearish market to takes place. But the problem is, that will remain uncertain as to when it’s going to happen. So just learn to take advantage while there is present opportunity in the market, as not all the time we are given such opportunities like this.
17  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Bitcoin will remain the greatest crypto currency in the world. on: April 16, 2024, 10:59:58 PM
It is certain that BTC will remain the greatest cryptocurrency in the world for a long time, although there are some currencies that can surpass Bitcoin in some of its characteristics, but there is no currency that can compete with Bitcoin or obtain the trust and status that Bitcoin has.

Bitcoin has all the unique features that make it the greatest currency in the world, but it is not without some flaws that prevent Bitcoin from being used as a unified global currency, but these flaws can be fixed over time when global adoption occurs.
Bitcoin is probably the best crypto investment and the greatest cryptocurrency that exist so far. Not only because it’s highly profitable, but also in terms of security and stability, regardless of its volatile nature, bitcoin still remains to be the most trusted cryptocurrency throughout the universe. This is probably the reason why a lot of people never hesitate to risk their funds with bitcoin, simply because it has a lot of growth potentials that will prove how productive and profitable bitcoin is.
18  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: When you make mistakes, do not fail to take corrections. on: April 16, 2024, 09:59:15 PM
In Spanish we have a saying, and the translation would be something like: wise men are those who rectify.

On the other hand, some years ago I was told that the sooner you make a mistake, the better. In Europe in general we don't share the American spirit of failure: if you fail, people usually think that you are the failure, and that makes people not take risks for fear of discovering their ineptitude.

Outhue said it well: many people want to avoid failure, but that's the way.
Failing or mistakes are not bad but what you have learned from the experience is more important. There is a proverb that states that you don't die by falling into the water but by staying there. Most people who end up becoming successful make so many mistakes but they understand that each mistake has a lesson. I also made some mistakes as a newbie but I took it as a learning process. People who fail to take correction will not learn more.

Sometimes criticism might not sound pleasing but they are highways for learning and improvement. It becomes a problem when someone keeps making the same mistake over and over after several corrections. So there is a need to keep improving so that you don't keep making newbies' mistakes even when you have spent some time on the forum.
We all commit mistakes and errors most especially if we are still a beginner, that is normal for all of us. However, what is not normal is that if we consistently make all those mistakes again without learning our lessons. It’s like we are just trying to tolerate all those mistakes without taking such corrective measures that will correct our wrong doings. With that, we are not building a brighter future for us, instead we are pushing ourselves into such failure and losses.
19  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What people some people don't know about trading on: April 16, 2024, 09:00:59 PM
I have seen where people say trading is a quick to get money.

But I see it differently. Rather, trading is a place that shows those who work hard, put in consistency and are ready to learn and those who think they can outsmart their way in.

Those who earn massively in trading are those who have dedicated 1-2 years of their time to learning a particular skill to perfection.

So, how can you earn 50-1000k like them if you didn't put in the work?

I've come across many videos on social media by professional traders and obviously the impression they're giving is that trading is get rich quick money scheme, which is not true. They make it look so easy by feeding their audience lies that within a month they can actually gain mastery and earn up to $5k. Perhaps, the end goal could be to get the subscription fees from them. Newbies should not be deceived, trading is not ABC, it takes time, patience and hardwork to learn the ropes.
That’s the reason why majority of social media influencers cannot be trusted. They seem to act more greedy than selfless. Instead of opening our eyes into the reality of trading, they even feed us with wrong concepts and make us believe that trading can make us rich quickly, when in reality it’s the opposite, trading can quickly leave a mess and ruin all our funds if we enter trading without knowing. This is why we shouldn’t be trading and risking our funds if we don’t have sufficient knowledge and understanding on how trading works in the market.
20  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tank Davis Vs Frank Martin WBA Lightweight Title June 22 HoustonTexas on: April 16, 2024, 02:09:52 PM

Tank should really take the risk and fight Shakur or Loma or any other name fighter at 135 lbs and should be hiding on the reasoning that he doesn't want to lose his 0. His been well protected already by PBC.


They just obviously giving him more comfort after winning a big fight against Garcia and to be honest, they really need to do that since he can't find some worthy opponent that won't have much risk nowadays because all of the top boxers in their weight division are threats in his clean record. They actually and carefully pick his next opponent so that he won't have a hard time increasing his wins and at the same time keeping his popularity at the peak of his career right now.

His promoters and managers need to do this so they will have good bargaining in case they negotiate for bigger names they will eventually face big names in boxing like Subriel Matias or Devin Haney, you cannot be a great champion in a division if there are tough fighters in that division that people will think can beat you so I guess after his match against Frank Martin negotiation for big names in boxing will come after this fight.
Provided that Martin does not upset Tank.

Let's wait for the outcome of the fight but most likely Tank Davis will again win via knockout. Tank can't fight Haney or Shakur as I'm sure he will struggle against these two boxers whose hard to catch, they'll not change their style despite of the criticism, it doesn't matter if they look boring as long as they can use their speed as the edge to win the fight, with that said, the undefeated record of Tank might be at high risk.
