If you guys have trouble choosing the winner in game 3, then might as well try to bet on the total. The last two games were low scoring game, so game 3 should be the same as this game is played with a very physical defense. IMO, the only chance the total will be over is when the game is close and it will went to overtime. However, for the sake of having fun, it's also nice if we bet on a certain team.  Happy new year guys! |

My picks for tonight.
Milwaukee Bucks (-6.5) vs Minnesota Timberwolves = Milwaukee Bucks Win 1,83 Odds.
Milwaukee Bucks (-1.5) vs Minnesota Timberwolves = First Quarter Win 1,78 Odds.
Good luck guys.
Milwaukee's first half of the game was bad. My first quarter bet also lost. They returned to the game in the second half and won the game. Happy New Year They manage to win the game and cover the spread, their 3rd quarter big run is just solid, Wolves were not able to have a big run anymore to beat them. I also won this game, I had the Bucks at -6.5, I got it early so the spread was good, congrats to the winners, til tomorrow. We are celebrating the new Year in the Philippines but tomorrow we will not be busy anymore, so watching the games is going to be a priority. We have plenty of games tomorrow including an early game the Clippers vs Pacers, I'm going to be on the road team here. Pacers have a good home record but the Clippers also have a decent road record, plus they came from a loss against the Celtics, so they might bounce back here and stop the win streak of the Pacers. |

It was not really a good start in trading using funds not from your own pocket but from others (borrowed money). It was not advisable but also, but I don't make such an excuse not to take risks and borrow money for as long as we can pay for it on the deadline. It is just like starting a business with borrowed money but as I've said, trading is too risky and has no assurance for returns, especially for beginners that is why I don't encourage doing it, yet I'd never stop them.
I am also like you, I will not forbid people from making borrowed money as trading capital even though it is risky because if the debt is managed properly, it will benefit the borrower. I once borrowed money from my mother to buy bitcoin, then when the value went up 25% I immediately sold it and returned the capital I borrowed from my mother. maybe this is a small part of my story that succeeded in managing borrowed money to make profits while trading, maybe there is something more inspiring. Yes, as long as it was manageable and we know ourselves we can pay for it, there is no problem with that. But we should be careful with our trades knowing that we already have some responsibility. However, I don't make that DEBT as a factor that could urge us to work hard and be careful in our decisions, we still need to become passionate and happy about what we are doing because this is the way it helps to have positive thinking than being distracted for something - like paying the borrowed money. |

Yes you are right that mate 7 foot tall guy in Bay Area is a nightmare of barangay ginebra as we all know that if they go to a man to man defense they can not handle the center of bay are all they need here is make a good team work if barangay ginebra will go for defenses a tight defense will be recommended. And in terms of offense all they need this that make the ball faster in rotate so that they can find their open teammates and fire for the free points.
They are not using him so much because Ginebra can easily make an adjustment and they love to run. This big man will make the play of the Bay Area slow and that will be taken advantage of the Ginebra especially on the fast break. He maybe so dominant in the center but with Ginebra good strategy on denying him the ball, he cannot be effective. Yeah, he was barely used in this series, even against the SMB, JMF can still find a way to make points even guarded by a 7'5 defender. That's a big disadvantage of tall player because they don't run fast and they don't have a good shooting stroke outside. I guess even without him, Bay Area were still able to manage in defeating the Ginebra, but let's see what will happen in game 3. I hope that we will see a 3.00 odds for Ginebra in game 3, although Ginebra looks really bad in game 2, I might be tempted to put my be on them, my 5k to win 10k, that's a great deal already. As what some fans are saying, it's 8 vs 5, that's in favor of Ginebra. Last time it was 2.44 or 2.48 on some gambling sites, so I think it will remain since the series is tied and Ginebra will try to win here. Odds will only change if bettors believe a certain team will likely win, just like the Bay Area in game 2, it's a must win for them, otherwise they'll be down 0-2 before the long break. The most consistent here is the total, we can always rely on the under as it will likely hit. |

^^ Congrats mate, my parlay lost due to the Knicks losing their game to the San Antonio Spurs.
Now they are on a skid after a good start, I wanted to create another parlay just like what I did yesterday and do live betting, but I just decided to call it a night with that lost.
There are a lot of games tomorrow, so probably will go back. And congratulations as well to those who win big in tonight's game.
Parlay gives us heart break, hehe. I feel you man, sometimes we are very close but losing one leg of our parlay would destroy everything. Honestly, I prefer not watching the game when I'm betting good money as it will only make me emotional. Lots of games tomorrow, but I'm eyeing on the Warriors, I guess they'll continue winning, so I'll ride the train. |

I think Doge coin still has potential in the upcoming bullrun market. and if we talk about the current decline, then this is natural. because it's not just the Doge that has been on the decline in the current bear market. But almost all Altcoins have decreased even bitcoin. expecting an increase in a bearish market can only occur when there is a big event that creates hype. But without that, the price might stay at the current level or decrease slightly following the movement of bitcoin. And in conclusion Doge coin still has hope and is not dead. Dyor.
Most of us have the guts to say that Dogecoin remains valuable in the market compared to shitcoins. The shilled that has been done by Elon Musk is not only a factor that helps Dogecoin remains one of the top 20 in the CMC. Though I couldn't expect a bullish price of Doge in the next Bullrun still we can say that it has the chance to rally during that time.
Dogecoin will just be dead if nobody will take care of it but as we can see, many traders are still using this which makes the project standstill despite the rejections of some investors. |

Generally, poor people usually think that working will give them a better future and ways to survive their difficult status in life. They are content with what they have. Of course, they are also dreaming to have a better life like how rich people are living but in reality, this is really hard ( or even impossible) for them if they just rely on working.
Some people say that we all have the opportunity to become rich but unfortunately, it was really hard if you don't have the mindset and way to uplift your living condition. Perhaps, many excuses we hear from them - no capital for business, we can't afford, etc...

It was to say that accepting Bitcoin is been spreading more and this means that people already understand the use of this technology after all.
Now, as per to say that Bitcoin become known globally more stores had opened this as another payment option which also encourages crypto holders to use their Bitcoin. This gives the insights that slowly lead to the way of success being a form of currency as intended to be. It is pretty obvious that this promotes the use of crypto worldwide and makes people know that Bitcoin is not useless as many people say.

Japeth and C stand are very needed in terms of inside basket as we all know that they are good in offense and defense inside. But I think they need more go for tight defense as we all know that Bay Area still can have a good point. This loss must be the lesson of ginebra to know better in the next game maybe more three point shot and good lineup in the paint area they are needing to became stronger once again.
Japeth is not consistent yet, has not seen a good him from him, it seemed like he was intimidated with the size of the Bay Area, unlike in the all Filipino cup where only JMF is the biggest defender he will have to beat. This is different, Bay Area is moving the ball very well, there in and out offense is clicking and Ginebra has not made the right adjustment in game 2. |

In another order of ideas, someone comes out challenging: Jose Ramirez wants ‘The Big Four’: Teofimo, Tank, Ryan Garcia & Haney By Brian Webber: Former WBC/WBO light welterweight champion Jose Ramirez says he wants Teofimo Lopez next on March 25th if he’s willing to face him.
Ramirez (27-1, 17 KOs) recently turned down a guaranteed title shot against WBC 140-lb champion Regis Prograis because he was unhappy with the 65-35 purse split, and he’s taken much heat from boxing fans for turning down the shot. Source: https://www.boxingnews24.com/2022/12/jose-ramirez-wants-teofimo-tank-ryan-garcia-or-haney/It would be nice to see him fighting Teofimo Lopez, both have 1 loss in their career and I think they will be able to deliver a good fight. But of course, I would still pick the fighter that I think would win, and that is none other than Teofimo Lopez. What do you think the betting odds will be? who will be the favorites to win? |

However, the issue is still present and may be more significant than the use of fiat money. Unless Bitcoin holding changes in any way. I believe the system should be changed such that each person is limited to holding a certain quantity of Bitcoin.
I think that this will hinder widespread adoption. What do all of you think?
Happy Christmas 🎄🎄
As we believe the system, therefore, there is nothing that needs to change either. Adoption will continue to grow, and sooner or later many people will come out and invest in Bitcoin. Yet to see the influence of these whales and we think manipulation will somehow give influence the market trend. But never I see this could stop people from adopting Bitcoin as I believe that whales are not controlling the entire market but just a portion of it ( most likely in altcoins). It is possible they are not ready enough to take the risk and carry the volatility of Bitcoin makes them think that they will just lose their money if they push to do it. |

Poole is taking the lead, he is a real deal so congrats to Warriors bettors, especially those who bet on the moneyline.
Thankfully, even after he was ejected, the other players preserved the lead, especially Klay Thompson. He got the hot hand today too. It became a technical foul fiesta in that game. They may even set the record for the most technical fouls called on Christmas day.  Haha, Klay Thompson was also special in this game, he is the 2nd leading scorer of the team, and we also have to commend the performance of Draymond Green, he does not focus on the offense because it's not his strength but getting a double double (13 assists and 13 rebounds) is a huge help for the team. Draymond Green sometimes are not noticed because he does not make points, his contribution are more on the defensive end and passing the ball, that's why I understand when he tries to ask for a max contract by the management did not give what they ask. Anyways, let's move forward to the games later. Nets vs Cavaliers, this is a good match up, Cavaliers with 16-3 home record, I think I will be backing them here with -2 spread. |

Not sure about that, PBA announce it before that they will bring guest teams but for now they need to complete these finals and the upcoming FIBA engagements, might be possible that they are not bringing any updates yet regarding to this, but for sure if they have changes or if they will proceed to that original plan they will give updates.
I hope they do bring back guest teams after FIBA. And maybe they should bring just as strong as the dragons if not stronger. Having a strong guest team brings up the competitiveness of the Local teams. This also exposes the local team to a level of international competition. Maybe this program of the PBA could help our players reach a higher level in international competitions like FIBA or the Olympics. With how things turn out, I believe PBA will bring guest teams as it's very successful. I mean, people are watching and PBA has become interesting again. ALso, with guess teams, our teams will learn a lot and they will also learn from us which will make us a better team especially in international competition. Yes, this is the first time I witness that the crowd is really interested in watching the game. The number of attendance in game 1 is just insane, how much more if this series will reach game 7. More money for PBA the better because they probably have been losing money due to lack of interest from the fans, and due to other existing leagues that are already competing with the PBA. |

Also, I only consider the Clippers a contender if Kawhi will be able to remain healthy in the playoffs. Otherwise, they are good for the second round. And even though GSW looks bad right now, I still consider them a contender. They are a different beast in the playoffs.
Of course, it will not be hard for the Clippers to reach the WCF if Leonard is healthy. This team is just underrated IMO, they have PG, Wall and Leonard, there big 3 are all scorers and as John Wall continues to blend well, they will become better and better approaching the playoffs. |

It is true that some people have become rich through crypto trading in the recent times. But considering the high risk involved in trading, do you think it's proper/wise to trade with borrowed funds as your capital irrespective of your trading experience?
It was not really a good start in trading using funds not from your own pocket but from others (borrowed money). It was not advisable but also, but I don't make such an excuse not to take risks and borrow money for as long as we can pay for it on the deadline.

Crypto is a perfect engine for scammers because it's still unregulated and it's also the wild west when it comes to making money quick with less efforts. .
I say NOT really a perfect engine for scammers but we can't deny that it was one tool for them to fool people and take advantage of the situation as they can be anonymous. Yet, many scammers have been captured and put in jail while using cryptocurrencies and it was because of the participation of the community. I see that people are not learning how these scammers do, yet some people still fall into their hands because of their greed. Generally, they are now cautious with their actions and decisions when it comes to choosing coins to invest with. |

Always try to avoid hype. Because hype is limited for a certain time and goes away very quickly. So if you wait for the hype or invest in believing the hype then you will never achieve anything big. So invest there which will give you profit in long run. It can bring you something big. Hype can't do that Hype may or may not return you a large amount in a short period of time, but it is highly unlikely because you never know when the hype will come and go. It will only fool you
Projects that depend in some way on hype are just a bubble that will disappear at any time, so yes, you should avoid investing in hype projects because if you are not a good follower of the news and one of the previous ones in entering and investing in the hype coin, you will lose your capital in a jiffy or in the short term, so I do not prefer investing in any of the currencies mentioned by the OP because they are very risky, but if he wants to invest in more money than he needs, he can try his luck, and among the best hype coins that he mentioned are NEAR, APE and MANA, and in my opinion these are the best currencies who can invest them and maybe get lucky and make good profits from them. Yet it was too risky but many people are just taking granted the risk and still buying these coins. Metaverse and NFTs projects are some examples of them but as we can see, many people are trusting these coins and buying more of them. There is actually a huge profit in these for early investors but of course, not all of them give such a thing, and investing in them is just like gambling with 50/50 chances of earning. |

The impact will usually depend on how brutal that negative news are but I think when we are in a bear, the cryptos are more fragile so even the minor negative news can affect them deeply. So, we are currently at a bear and the goal of each coins including BTC is to recover at a much decent level.
We have been thrown by several negative news and the market suffering huge scam issues but as we can see, Bitcoin price still fighting strong and remains above $15k. It's too early to say for now that they are now aiming for their highest level but that can only happen once the bear have ended and then the bull run is taking on its lead. A bearish market is also full of bear traps so people must be careful and don't buy at a moving train thinking that the bull have started already but we should only buy when it is stable right after a drop.
That's true. There's always positivity on Bitcoin to rise but it was not the perfect time to think about it whether we like it or not, this bear season will remain until next year. Market recovery has been expected after halving, that was 2024. Buy some Bitcoin in a DCA strategy as long as we still have extra funds, and as long as we don't expect the instant return. |

There are 3 teams I follow in the NBA. Boston, Los Angeles Lakers and Golden state. My favorite for the championship this year is the Boston Celtics. My interest in the Los Angeles Lakers is purely because I like LeBron James. In the matches played yesterday, Boston ended the bad situation. Defeated Minnesota at home. The game's top scorer was Jaylen Brown. Los Angeles Lakers lost to Charlotte at home 130-134. LeBron James' 34 points could not prevent the defeat. A championship this year is now a very distant possibility for Los Angeles.
The Celtics and the Warriors are the favorites to win the championship this season. Forget about the Lakers, Lebron is already old and we've see that he cannot carry his team anymore unlike the old days when he was still young, Lakers without Davis is a disaster, that's a real talk. |
