The odds for game two are out early, and as of now, TNT is the favorite with 1.61 odds or -3.5 using the spread. I have a feeling that TNT will win here and will cover the spread. This kind of spread is very attractive to Ginebra fans, and if we want to see this series go longer, then TNT should even the series in game 2. My bet would be TNT -3.5.
I think I will take the 1st half bet as I believe TNT will come out strong. Although TNT may win the game, I prefer to take the easier route to win. If TNT starts the game with a strong lead, I am confident they will maintain it until the half, and since the spread is close, they are likely to cover it.
1002  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why only a Bitcoin trading pair is the best thing? on: April 10, 2023, 12:29:27 PM
Bitcoin is the best coin for long-term investment but if we talk about trading pairs, I'd say no. I've tried different coins, altcoins to be particular and honestly, you can really notice the difference when using Bitcoin as earning huge profits is likely possible to happen far from what we got from BTC. Maybe you would try it as well to see the difference and to let others know that Bitcoin can't be all good in all corners of the market, it is just more suitable for investment. I believe that those projects that come in hype certainly give us a profit and usually traders looking for that.
1003  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Times When Casinos Will Ask Certificate That You Are A Responsible Gambler on: April 10, 2023, 12:00:56 PM
Will there come a time when online casinos will implement that you upload a responsible gambler certificate before you continue to play because of too many government restrictions it's not necessary for newly registered gamblers but for gamblers who lose a lot of money and their activity is they are suspected to be addicted to gambling.
The reason why the government will implement this, as a precaution, is to protect people from losing their wealth and their health from too much gambling because of addiction, it's a way of protection.
NO, I don't think that casinos will do this to protect their gamblers as it was not their responsibility either but it was our personal responsibility.
Should they need to hassle the gamblers? Okay, let us assume that they will ask that stuff, how they would expect replies instead, expect that gamblers will not use their platform anymore? It also conflicts with their privacy and certainly, they never do that even though they are a responsible gambler, I should not do that as well.
1004  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: DOGE surges as Twitter change its website icon to Doge on: April 10, 2023, 09:00:34 AM
A few days ago Twitter changes back its logo to the original one, the blue bird. As the hype and FOMO wind down, DOGE prices follow the sentiments. As of now, the prices lose almost 30% from the peak of the surges which is around 35% according to current CoinMarketCap data.

Based on my observation, there is not any further news about the assumed linked motive of his absurd lawsuit. Regardless the fact, I'm very sure the "mockery" surely hits the prosecutor and other parties who are in favour of it. I guess the current fate of Doge is only in the hands of big names or influencers, and I believe somewhat loses the meaning of its meme-based community owned status.
That is obvious we can say that without Elon Musk Dogecoin is likely nothing and too sad that many people don't think about it because what they think is a possible hype that will happen and make them rich. Perhaps, it is always ridden with hype in a short while and drops right away. Influencers are making money for this for sure and they keep doing this again and again. And I agree, anything that will happen to Dogecoin in the future lies in the hands of the influencers, not its investors.

1005  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Early Profit can be misleading. on: April 10, 2023, 08:29:11 AM
Should newbie traders be only concerned about making profit? I do not think so.

What do you think, let us discuss?
While I agree with the OP's point, can I also point out that profit making is in trading shouldn't be ignored. Because if all you have experienced as a trader is loss, I can bet that you are already demoralized and demotivated to keep trading. As a newbie trader, it lies on you to find an equilibrium point between making profit and being grounded in the principle of trading. Make profit will keep you interested in trading.
Earning a project is what traders are thinking of, even newbies. We don't have to correct this mindset as this will motivate them, yes. But what we gonna do is telling these newbies that earning a profit is quite difficult in real life. It was important for them to know what is their status and to let them know that trading doesn't work easily but needs hard work so they never underestimate the market and the pressure and stress will get encounter. Because the more they understand trading, the more they will push themselves to learn more and to find what they really need in order to success.
1006  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: When is the next altcoin season? on: April 09, 2023, 09:38:39 PM
Altcoins are expected to increase in value alongside bitcoin during the halving season, according to past historical analytics of bitcoin. Bear in mind that not all altcoins will experience explosive growth during the halving season. Do not assume that all of the altcoins in your portfolio will perform well during the halving season. Change the altcoins you are aware the team management is less concerned about the project's success to bitcoin. By doing that, you have secured that altcoin asset to bitcoin.
Choosing the top-ranked altcoins might be an option. But that doesn't guarantee anything. The most important thing before the Halving occurs, you must be ready with your coins, must be ready with Bitcoin and ETH. I prefer to hold both, because the percentage increase will be greater than other coins. No one doubts Bitcoin and ETH. The top altcoin is ETH, the most anticipated altcoin season.
It is to expected the price rush before halving but I've found out that most investors are busy buying not known altcoins, especially new projects believing that hype can happen to them. We can't imagine a price multiplying for x1000 and it really happens to some coins which literally give interest to the investors rather than looking for Bitcoin and ETH. That is kinda a smart idea and never found it wrong but just only a risky decision as many people had also suffered losses from falling into scam projects.
1007  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much these features weigh most when you choose your favorite casino? on: April 09, 2023, 02:17:13 PM
As for me, the most important feature would be having a good help desk or customer service. This is because when problems and inconvenience happen, it'll be less of a hassle and a stress if you have a nice representative you can run to to ask solutions and troubleshooting advices. It will be great if the casino is willing to help and cooperate with you to solve your concerns. If a casino don't possess this feature, isn't accommodating and approachable, then expect to be disappointed and to encounter chain of chaos.  ~

Of course support plays an important role in casinos, just like in any other industry, because none of us likes it when a problem happens and we have to wait for it to be resolved. The longer you wait for a problem to be solved, especially one that is not your fault, the less you want to go back to that casino. But it seems to me that the casino that appreciates its users has round-the-clock support, so you don't have to wait that long.
One factor that I must consider playing casino is how they respond to questions and they should have instantly made replies if possible. Because waiting could really disappoint any person and that will tell us how the casino works and this is how the trust builds up.
Because gamblers will appreciate the site and live comfortably when they know that it can be trusted and to the thing that they wanted to know more, there is someone who could answer right away.
1008  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Referral bonuses are waste of time on: April 09, 2023, 01:52:12 PM
I think that people are free to do what they have to to have some extra money, and if it's something like recommending it, it's not a bad thing, I also think that all of us who live in the forum and on other platforms are also here because this Children like it, and there is nothing more rewarding than doing what you like and getting paid to do it, I think that's what it's all about, right? If you put love into a job, I don't think you'll be knocked down, I know there are many envious people, and unfair accusations can be made in the jobs, it's the common denominator, but when it's shown that this wasn't the case, that's where it's expected To be retract, then earning by recommendation is a very good thing, at least I see it that way.
Gambler or everyone is  obviously free to do what they have or want to do, and when it comes to referring people to a website, especially if it's a casino platform or a platform that involves investing money, the best practice is to tell them everything and leave them with a warning that they should do this only at their own consent and you will not be responsible for anything that happens to their funds.

Doing that, the decision of whether they wish to join or not will be totally on themselves and you will not be guilty nor be called greedy for referring people to places where you earn money while they lose money ultimately.
There are two types of referrers. One of them don`t cares about referrals money - they post their link everywhere and get their bonuses from them without any help. Mostly it is review sites.
The second type of referrers take care their referrals, they make research of the casino, they promote, inform referrals about events and problems. They get high quality referrals, but i don`t sure that they can get more money than the first type.
Well, the first type of referrers think about the quantity and could earn more. While the second type of referrers thinks about their safety and security, they make promotions as long as they are certain that they are not promoting scam sites. But honestly, I like the 2nd type of referrers as they could not afford to lose their reputation just for the sake of money. Because this is not actually how much we earn but the thing is that we spreading the right information. And so we don't have to make people fall into referral links that can ruin their life and lost their money.
1009  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: one mistake that crypto beginners should be aware of ? on: April 08, 2023, 09:41:16 PM
I think getting a mentor and being influenced by someone are different things and people should be careful about them for sure. I know that being influenced by people like on twitter and buying something because they suggested is a terrible move that should be avoided as much as possible.

There are tons of people who follow influencers on twitter and most of the time they end up making a loss and that's not a good idea. However, finding a mentor, someone who you can chat and have discussions with, could be beneficial for you and you can learn more about it when the time comes, I know many people are worried about it but that's not going to be a trouble for anyone at all. It should be as easy as it gets and should be fine.
Finding a reliable mentor - That is the thing that newbies are supposed to do. But unfortunately, the situation is getting difficult as it was hard to trust someone online, most of them are greedy and yes, scammers. Well, the last option I see is to carry ourselves and study the market alone. In fact, there are a lot of trading resources that we can find online and I think it was enough to learn to trade, we just need not be afraid of trying and experience actual trading as this will teach us more lessons than reading and watching tutorials.
1010  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Day trading is perfect work for jobless peoples on: April 08, 2023, 12:52:14 PM
Day trading is not really perfect for jobless persons because is more risky.

And because it was risky, therefore, we were also afraid. I don't think so. Why not try if this will work for us? Because nobody could say that we are not for trading until we try and see the results. If we think that all risky things are difficult and we have no chances, it means that we are closing our doors to improve and become rich. It is a negative mindset perhaps and that kind of thinking will give no way for you to grow but leaven on doubts and worries. And it means that we are losing our opportunities, I should not do that.
1011  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: New projects come out when bull market begin. on: April 08, 2023, 07:31:21 AM
People's interest on buying crypto coins may be one of the reasons. When market drops, people are afraid to buy any crypto coin, especially new altcoins. So, new projects have no chance to survive or continue to develop. Since the lack of demand, the developers can't get enough money to develop the project. While when market rises, people are very enthuasiastic to buy anh crypto coin, including  new altcoins. So, the developers want to launch their projects in this time.
well, the point is, when the market is in a bad condition, then a lot of people don't dare to make additional investments in new projects, and maybe only invest in the coins they already have. In addition, these conditions make it difficult for the project to carry out development, because the funds they get from sales sometimes do not reach the minimum target. However, when there is a bull market, the enthusiasm for investing is very large, especially in new projects. Doge's hype in the past few years has made many other meme coins gain huge profits because they think that their potential is the same as Doge's. because of that, enthusiasm for investing in new projects will increase when the bull market arrives.
Usually, investors' mindsets had changed when the bull season is coming, they'll turn optimistic and have the courage to invest because they are certain that profits await them. If I was a developer also, I'd take this basis when launching new projects. Because why we should have to sacrifice ourselves and even suffer losses that we can make easy during the bull season?
And the worst thing that happen, many developers got that idea including scammers, and then see many projects turns into a scam.
1012  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is buying BTC now, the best option ??? on: April 08, 2023, 07:03:20 AM

To be fair, Bitcoin is a risky investment, but its returns are higher than any other investment. OP, as I said, don't hesitate, the sooner you buy, the better for you.
Well, I believe that all investment is risky, most especially if you never know what you are doing. But that really matters? Not really, I would say that people are investing in Bitcoin because it was a profitable investment. They don't care about the risk instead, they look at what they will get from having this in their life. Because the more we think about risk, the more it influences our minds and even drags us to think negatively as well, it has a mental effect and it was difficult if we have this.

If we are buying Bitcoin, make sure that we have trust and faith in this, otherwise never expect success.
1013  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: April 07, 2023, 01:51:46 AM
As for today's games, I think the best team to bet on is probably OKC, with the spread, of course.

Looks like you made the right decision here as OKC is already leading the game with a double-digit lead. And knowing that the Jazz had missed some of their starters, I think it will be hard for the home team to come back. Of course, OKC will ensure that they get the win as they need to be in the play-in and eliminate Dallas in the ranking competition.
1014  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Tank Davis vs. Ryan Garcia betting and discussion (May, 2023) on: April 07, 2023, 12:45:06 AM

And it's according to one thread, in this fight, someone will make it official about the Errol Spence vs Bud Crawford fight. So we will see if it is going to happen because that is one of the most anticipated much as well. Just like this fight, two boxers in their prime and both are champions.

They will be making a huge announcement using this fight as many people will be watching. Hopefully, they will announce the undisputed fight between two undefeated champions that we have been waiting for. If they seal that fight, there will be no more speculation that either one of them is trying to evade it.
1015  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: What makes Binance stay strong despite all FUD ? on: April 06, 2023, 09:44:09 PM
Maybe its because we don't care? I mean there is technically nothing that Binance can do to keep the BNB price high for example, sure they can spend a bit, but they can't spend all their money on keeping BNB price high. So they need the public to not care about all these FUDs in and not sell their coins. Which is something we are doing and that's why the price is staying strong and the company does as well. Look at all those who talk about Binance and tell me a reason why I should believe in any of that and sell, its bunch of fake news to keep bnb low and I am not going to be a part of it.
Not actually people don't care because every investor does but these FUDs are not enough to change the faith of these investors and think about the negative future of this project. In fact, the government is a great enemy but because people are already that they are just throwing nonsense issues against Binance, they lose. But surely this game is not over yet, many FUDs will come and challenge investors again so we still be cautious and become updated on the situation - and putting FTX as an example.
1016  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Casimero vs Nghitumbwa (May 3) on: April 06, 2023, 11:50:24 AM
The thing with Casimero though is that we are not used to see such trash talking from a Filipino and maybe this what made him specially for us. Yeah, he can back it up, but if he wants to become a champion again, he need to win and knock Nghitumbwa out and again, send the message that he is going after whoever the champion is.
That's his style, and it's okay to see a boxer with that kind of trash-talking style. As you mentioned, he can back up his statements, which is one of the reasons why he is an exciting fighter to watch. Winning this fight shouldn't be difficult for Casimero, as his opponent is ranked low and not a well-known fighter. So, we can expect him to win. I'm more concerned about his future fights, especially his championship fight.
In boxing, it's important to have your own style. If people take notice of you, it means your style is effective. It's a business, you need people to know you so they will be aware of your fights and potentially be interested in watching, whether it's to see you win or lose. At the very least, you will earn money from them.
1017  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: April 06, 2023, 11:03:02 AM
Having a few more days to rest before the playoffs start, and also the fact that they would be facing the third instead of first or second is the difference maker. If Lakers somehow manage to get to sixth spot, they will have a few days clear schedule, and they can rest a lot during that period, lets face it they got injured and tired so much during the last few weeks of the season. Plus Kings may have done well this season so far, but when they face Lebron that may change, we have seen him beat many good teams on playoffs before, and Kings is not a team that is been in playoffs for a long time, so it will be a wild matchup for sure. I guess this is why they want to get that spot, not saying they will, but there is a difference between 6th and 7th that is huge.

I also see the Sacramento Kings as the weakest of the top 4 in the western conference. There are still 2 to 3 games remaining but the Kings will probably remain in the 3rd spot. But it won't be easy for these low-ranked teams to position themselves as 6th since these teams are too tight with each other. The Lakers cannot relax either as losing the last 2 games might drop them to rank 9 which is very difficult. The Lakers will enjoy home games in its last 2 games but it is facing the Suns and the Jazz. The Suns might take the game seriously in order to retain its 4th spot which is a home-court advantage during the playoffs. The Jazz on the other hand is still alive and it needs to win 2 or 3 of its last remaining games for a chance to enter the play-ins.
It will be a difficult task for the Kings to play against the defending champion, even though they have the same system now, as Curry is a different player in the playoffs. Based on the current standings, the Warriors are at 6th while the Kings are at 3rd, so they will likely face each other in the first round.

It's a challenging matchup for the Kings, even though they have the home-court advantage. It's definitely not easy to beat the defending champion.

My prediction if they'll meet, it's Warriors at 6 at most.
1018  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: April 06, 2023, 02:59:50 AM

However, the NOP are leading against the Grizzlies in a surprised twist of even. The Pelicans force a OT, and if I'm not mistaken, if they win this games, the Mavs are out of the playoff (correct me if I'm wrong).

The Dallas Mavericks are not yet out of the playoffs race. They have a better chance of making it to the play-in tournament as they are currently tied with the OKC Thunder. OKC has one game left against the Jazz, while the Mavericks still have two games left against the Bulls and the Spurs. If the Mavericks win both games, they will make it to the play-in, and OKC will be eliminated.
1019  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: April 06, 2023, 02:19:54 AM

Gin kings have all the upper hands here. If they will really push personally, they can also sweep TNT, just saying.


That seems a bit harsh. I don't think it's likely that Ginebra will sweep TNT, as they are a competitive team with players like Jason Castro and a good import. Additionally, Mikey Williams is always capable of providing a spark for the team. It will be an exciting and competitive series for sure.

Both teams have had a big break before the Finals. They should be fully prepared for their first game this coming Sunday. Although it's difficult to predict the outcome, Sunday's game is sure to have plenty of fans watching, particularly the Ginebra game. Since this is the Finals, the team can expect huge support, so I believe that Ginebra will likely win Game 1.
1020  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Casimero vs Nghitumbwa (May 3) on: April 04, 2023, 05:25:36 AM
Having that attitude affects the performance of Casimero and his reputation, his team should really teach him to focus on his trainings instead of making trash talks, we actually don’t know if this is part of their promotional strategy or this is the real Casimero. Anyway, having this march next month can be a good opportunity for him again to get back on track, I can see a good match up here, Casimero have more chance here to win if be focuses more on his strategy.

In fairness though, Casimero can back up his trash talk. Regardless if it's part of the marketing or promotional strategy, he's not just pure trash-talking but giving proof in the actual boxing match. Might be arrogant to others and not good to see but he's really like that since then.

As long as it's not "below the belt", I think there's no problem with it. Smiley

Agreed, Casimero has shown himself to be a true warrior by fighting in different countries and winning most of his fights. When he makes a prediction to knock out his opponent, he usually follows through on it, unless his opponent becomes defensive and only fights to survive the 12 rounds.

Casimero is aware that there's still a lot of work to be done to reach the top, but he continues to fight in his own style, entertaining his fans in the process. As he continues to dominate, it's not surprising that he'll gain even more followers in the future.
