OP hasn't mentioned the total bankroll amount, only the percentage he'll use for each wager. For a gambler to reach $50k in a year, they must have a reasonable bankroll, in my opinion, probably not less than $20k. I don't know if he can afford to put up that amount, considering the target is a substantial sum. The goal seems quite aggressive, so the betting strategy would need to match that level of aggressiveness.

So now are just hanging on how much he can afford to start as a bankroll, hopefully he'll clarify that.

You know, even if you know you have a lot to share in the forum, just don't act like you know everything. It's better to stay lowkey and continue to accept and learn from all the significant post from other members. Know that everyone has its unique ideas, so always appreciate everyone's post. And always be mindful of every post you make. It's good to be honest but by being straightforward sometimes, you will end up offending other members especially those who are in the higher rank.

Although there's no rank distinction here as everyone is fair when it comes to expressing your own ideas, but always maintain a healthy relationship with other members because the forum is not made to create competition but to encourage everyone to create an informational and interactive learning.

I keep distance with them. Since they're not the type of people I want to be surrounded with, then it's better to stay away from them and treat them like they don't really exist in my life. Because if I let them enter into my life, for sure there will be a lot of negative criticisms coming from them and that's what I don't really like the most, judging me and my thing just because I have different investment choice compared to them.

People like them are not really healthy to be with. Even if you explain your investment to them, they will always have a lot of negative to say. That's why it's better to get rid of them before I lost my focus to my own bitcoin investment.

Of course, it should be both. Why gamble if you're not looking to have fun and win? It's not going to be an enjoyable experience if you're just wasting your time and money without the possibility of winning, at least in my view.

Ask most gamblers if they're okay with losing and just treating gambling as fun, and I'm sure their answer would be a resounding 'no.'


A better winning percentage translates to a better profit percentage in my book. We might have different preferences when it comes to the types of games we gamble on, but if we have the skill, we can achieve consistent wins in the long run, considering we're not competing against the house edge in sports betting.

He knew he was in for a big fight, and he made $50 million from it. So, how could anyone think he wasn't preparing for that bout like he did for his past fights? I believe Ngannou deserves some respect, especially after he managed to floor Fury. That's a significant sign that Ngannou has the capability to beat Fury.

So, instead of making speculations or excuses about why Fury didn't win convincingly, maybe we should just wait for a rematch. After all, why would Fury say no to another $50 million or possibly even more?

The challenge if you hire a mentor is that you are not sure if what you get is actually a legit and a professional mentor. You know its easy to claim that you know trading well and that you are making good profits from it, but in reality you are just like any other traders that keep on losing the market. That is the reason why we don't need to trust those trading mentors easily especially if they require higher fees. We need to check their background first if they have been really into trading for several years.

And if you're lucky to have been mentored by a professional trader, then make sure that what you learned are the ones you applied in real trading. Because its undeniable that when we get to trade at live trading, we easily forget what we have learned and just focus on trading using what we think could work in our trades. That is why constant practice and experience in trading is crucial because that's the only way we can improve our trading skills and strategies.

Bitcoin has its own flaws that makes its disadvantages but we can only say that because we always compare bitcoin to fiat. And anything that bitcoin lacks wherein fiat has it already is considered its disadvantages. We fail to realize that bitcoin is different from fiat in nature. So we don't need to compare it from fiat because if we analyze it closely, bitcoin is way more useful and helpful for the people not just in the form of a good currency but a good and profitable investment as well.

However, it's a good thing that the people have become more open-minded these days and they come to understand bitcoin more than fiat. But I must say when it comes to the government, I can still see that they are still doubtful with bitcoin. They have always believed and came to protect fiat from whatever its anomalies being involved, but they can never accept bitcoin because they have always treated it to be a threat to their own government and to their own fiat currency.

Let's resume betting after 1 day of break.

Clippers will be tested again against the Nets this time who is currently 0-3 at home ,haven't won a hope game yet so this is quite very unpredictable as the Clippers will likely play harder this time too since they are already in a losing streak.

Both teams have 2 straight losses but I like to bet to see Harden finally get a win, so I'm putting my bet on the road team which is favored by -4.5

Also betting on Spurs moneyline @4.80. 

That's pretty attractive if you'll ask me.

I am now confirming it with my bookie but unfortunately I could not see the odds available it, I guess I just have to check back later.

He did good I believe. But I think coach Lue needs to revamp the line up, putting all 4 in the starting line up may not be good for the team as they lack sized against the Knicks, which is pretty evident by the rebounding disparity... 48 vs 31 only for the Clippers, that's not competitive.

I don't know whom they'll put on the 2nd unit but I like to see one of them take charge the 2nd unit, maybe Harden?

 I also have different mindset when it comes to investment. I don't easily jump into risking my money and just invest on whatever my choice. I need to make an in-depth research first if this investment is a secure one and if it will be a good choice that will give me sustainable profits in the future. I need to secure my funds as well because as much as possible, I don't want to risk my lifetime savings but will always chose to spend my spare money so that If I lose, I won't have to deal on its consequences after. And lastly, I don't dare to invest if there are no reliable feedbacks from other bitcoin investors, as that is also one way of extending my research.

There are no odds available for this particular game yet, but for the other game, Meralco vs. ROS, the odds have already been released.

For the point spread: -3.5 Meralco
For the total: 197.5

In my view, I'm going to bet on Meralco, as I favor them being a defensive team. Although it's not easy to predict this early on which team will play impressively, I'm going to trust my gut feeling. Meralco is known for being a good team with solid chemistry, and Chris Newsome is surely very confident after winning a gold medal and playing excellent defense against RHJ.

Just a quick update, odds for the first game are already out just now.

Blackwater is +7.5
Total is 201.5

That is the reality about trading. It can give you the most satisfying profits, yet it can also make you homeless in an instant if you see trading as a get rich quick. Traders with greedy mindset are actually not exposed about how and when trading works, since all they believe that once they decide to trade, even without trading skills and working strategies, they will eventually win their trades and become instantly profitable. But we all know trading is not easy and could be very hard most especially for those who really don't know how to trade. In the end, what you will gain are obviously countless losses, not remarkable profits.

Hodling bitcoin might be less risky compared to investing in unreliable centralized projects but it takes a lot of patience and faith in bitcoin for you to be able to hold bitcoin for long term without struggling from panic selling whenever bitcoin price drops so deeply. That is why even if hodling sounded so easy, a lot of bitcoin investors still end up quitting and decide to sell their coins early because they can’t stand the price volatility in the market.

However, bitcoin hodling is still the safest crypto investment in the market and the rate to succeed is still very high. It may not give you the quick profits that you desire but the long term profits you will get from hodling bitcoin is still very satisfying because of its very high value.

I don’t see anything wrong if you open about the bitcointalk forum and bitcoin. It’s one way of promoting about bitcoin that it’s a real legit and not a big scam. However, you don’t have to share with her that you are hodling or trading bitcoin at the moment because that is already disclosing your privacy. You are putting your own self in danger since this friend of yours might not be actually looking for a business or investment but she’s looking for someone to scam. And you are giving her a hint to be her new prospect.

It’s still best if you keep things on your own most especially if money is involved. Also, bitcoin investment should only serve as a side hustle, not a stable source of income. Tell her to find a real job instead so that she can provide her needs and wants on her own, and not to rely in bitcoin or in the forum since its never a real job in the first place.

You should take a look at these boxers, especially Ohara Davies, who hasn't lost a fight since 2018. I believe he can easily defeat Ismael Barroso from Venezuela because Barroso is already quite old at 40 years, nearing retirement age.

Every boxer tends to have their reasons when they lose a fight. If Ryan Garcia didn't make excuses after his loss to Tank Davis, I doubt he'll come up with that kind of excuse now. The boxing community would probably not take it well if he can't accept defeat.

Looking at Oscar Duarte Jurado's record, it's quite impressive. He's known for knocking out his opponents, and that makes him a dangerous opponent for Garcia, especially considering that Garcia has been knocked out before.

I'm placing my bet early because Magnolia is a strong defensive team. Think about it, TNT won't have their import, and they're missing key players like Pogoy and Mikey Williams. How can they compete against a healthy Magnolia Hotshots team that's great at playing defense? I'm also betting on the under because I believe TNT will have a tough time scoring in this game.

The over/under is 196.5.

He's been very inconsistent. Maybe in the next game, he'll score fewer than 10 points.

Here are his points per game (PPG) in his last 5 games:

1st game against 76ers: 39 points
2nd game against Hawks: 6 points
3rd game against Miami: 25 points
4th game against Raptors: 15 points
5th game against Knicks: 30 points

He should aim for at least 20 points per game so we can have confidence that this team will be a strong contender in the playoffs. In the next game against the Nets, it's a good challenge on the road because the Nets are currently on a 3-game winning streak.

They were winning games last season and had a good import, but there were coaching decisions that their import didn't follow as it seemed like he had to carry the team on his own and not sharing the ball much. This resulted in them missing the chance to make it to the quarterfinals. I'm not sure who their import is now, but losing Ahanmisi and Jeron Teng is certainly a significant setback for the team.

The new season is set to open tomorrow, so if you want to check out early odds, you should come back tonight. The season opener is between TNT and Magnolia, but it looks like TNT won't have an import for tomorrow's game.

Since bitcoin is performing very well in the market, I am convinced to say that its price is certainly more bullish compared to its previous market price. And I think the fake approval of bitcoin ETH has helped it to be where its currently positioned right now. But definitely, when this ETF will be finally approved, expect that there will be more price surge for bitcoin.

However, I can't also tell that the bearish days for bitcoin are now gone. As long as the market is highly volatile, there will always be chances to see bitcoin price dropping again, but that's just to prepare us for it's new all time high adventure.
