You OP could assess if that advice is good or bad. But in this forum, you can expect those things and it was you to sort it up. Ignoring is the best thing to do as we can't stop seeing those things knowing that the forum accepts all opinions from different people. Sometimes I receive PM from some members and I don't spend time replying to them unless it is necessary. So, if you think it was not good, don't bother yourself to deal with it but rather go straight to what you expect from others, maybe somebody could fill some satisfying advice.

It seemed like there's no improvement for the Lakers, despite of the addition and the changes, they still look like the old team that struggled last season. Lebron James alone cannot carry this team anymore, especially against a good team like the Warriors, if they want to win at least in the West, they should be competitive enough to give the warriors a real game, not playing like there's no urgency of winning.
I think they're currently on process to create a strong roster, I think Beverley is should be replaced since he's not a good shooter and he's already older, so there's will be no improvement. Lakers is also lack of guard position which is currently Walker IV play in this position, his performance isn't good since he mostly can't block, but since he's still young so Lakers might take consideration to let him play.

Lebron James still good even though he's old, it will be a nightmare when Lebron James leave Lakers in the next few years.

I don't know mate, they have enough time to form that team and that chemistry that is needed but it looks like they didn't match the Warriors intensity in their first game. I have a feeling that Lakers might struggle again this season and worse is if they won't make it to the playoffs.

With a healthy they should be a strong team, but without good chemistry it's still useless.

When regulation takes a hit on crypto prob in few years from now what will happen to gambling projects like Roobet and others? I've discovered one gambling project claiming to be regulated but there is nothing to prove that, anyway, can regulation affects gambling projects in future that's all I seek.
That will certainly affect gambling and that only happens if strictly implemented by the authorities. But guess what, this will increase illegal gambling on the other side and this make hard to control once it started. I'd see a lot of gambling projects will tend to stop or collapse but this is not even good to look at as this will also stop people from working there.

It has a positive outcome but also it creates more on the negative side.
1525  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Vasiliy Lomachenko vs Jamaine Ortiz - October 29 on: October 17, 2022, 12:14:19 PM
As of now, the real basis is the odds, we can only see the real status between them once they are already in the ring. When Lopez fought Loma, Loma was also heavily favored, but personally, I don't think that will happen again here as I believe Loma had already learned his lesson.

He already learned the hard way and he will not be the same as when he fought Lopez, Lomachenko will be more careful at the start of the rounds and this fight will not end early unless Loma smells some blood that will gonna trigger finish his opponent earlier than expected. it's really not hard to come back from a long time rest in the boxing ring when you still got all the skills and instinct to win every fight and this one will be just like a practice match for Loma if he can find his rhythms in the early rounds.

And Loma still has that, so it's not going to be hard for him to beat  Jamaine Ortiz although I have to say that he is not an easy opponent. Loma is a very discipline fighter, he does not throw trash talk a lot, all he does is impress the fans with his very technical style, so hopefully we will again see it here.

I'm a bit disappointed with the Beermen, but yeah, without JMF they will have a hard time winning games. I thought that it's going to be close but they were blown away by the Bay Area Dragons.

Playing against the Bay Area Dragons, the lineup should be complete and healthy. It's hard to deal with this guest team especially if the main guy of their opposing team is not present. It's unfortunate that we didn't see JuneMar Fajardo playing against the Dragons to see if SMB can also keep up with this team.

Not just against Bay Area Dragons but SMB will have a hard time dealing with other teams too if there's no JMF presence on their roster.

Without JMF, you cannot expect SMB to be a champion, when JMF was injured in the past and missed a few seasons, SMB did not reach the finals because they cannot do it without their MVP, good thing now that Fajardo will not miss the whole conference, he will be back so their chance is still here.

I follow several twitter accounts that are specifically about airdrops and most of the airdrops at this time are new coins, DeFi and NFT, and from the few that I have followed, NFT is indeed coins that are difficult to sell and accumulate in wallets until now.
That is true...you can't rely on earning from them. Though not totally a waste of time because some of them can still be sold in exchanges, however, we can't think about high value.  $5, $10, it only enough for the transaction fee and no left for you, and it was discouraging to see, unlike in the old days like in 2017 where many airdrops can be sold high more than the expected amount which could really make you happy.
1528  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Day trading on: October 17, 2022, 09:49:24 AM

Even trading professionals fail and have losses in trading. The volatility of the market is unpredictable and not all analysis is accurate. We can't always rely on professionals because no one could predict the prices accurately with consistently. Applying the basics during confusion would be better than seeking for expert's opinion, especially during this bearish season.
If the knowledge is not enough to engage in trading, then you should not even start, because it will always end in a loss of money. If you listen to someone's advice, or use some kind of forecast, it will lead to the same result. Therefore, if you still want to trade, then you need to completely rely only on yourself. It will be difficult at first, but only in this way will you be able to understand this matter thoroughly and determine working strategies for yourself.
Newbies are always trying to find shortcuts believing they will find a way to earn money without acquiring any knowledge about the markets, and they could not be more wrong about this, there are no shortcuts, trading is a very difficult subject and if they are not willing to learn then they need to say away from it, but they refuse to do so because of their greed, and that is when disaster strikes them, since it does not matter what they may try it is almost impossible to earn any money when they are completely ignorant about how the markets really work.
Realization comes after a bad experience like losing their capital for being greedy and incapable. That is why I let these newbies believe what they think about trading, doing shortcuts, and joining signal groups...because in this way they will see the difference between having full knowledge in trading versus when we are jumping on trading with empty knowledge just because someone pretending to help them. Could be unfortunate but still, a lot of newbies are doing this.
1529  Economy / Economics / Re: Competition in business on: October 16, 2022, 10:38:29 PM
Perhaps, competition is normal in all areas and that said healthy competition is sometimes hard to find. Some people are even more greedy that not wanted to have other people competing with them like how these huge businesses do. If we are in this field, we have to be aware of this but I don't encourage you to think about how other people do, it is supposed to have that "healthy competition" in order for all of us well improve and grow together.

Honestly, it was hard, we know that not all have that kind of mindset and care for others but just themselves.
1530  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Don't invest Heavily ALT now on: October 16, 2022, 12:28:24 PM
When LUNA collapsed, there was a lot of news that said many people were stressed, crazy and some even committed suicide, most of them were big investors who lost millions of dollars, initially they invested by selling assets such as land, houses and even debts in banks, and from this moment then it should be a lesson that do not invest with fantastic value especially by selling assets.
Well, many investors ended up losing from this project, especially those new investors but never I heard of someone committing suicide.
This will show how risky is investing crypto but yes, it was too risky if you never know what you are doing and investing without research. In this bear season, we must be careful choosing altcoins, not only because of scam issues but for the reason because many of these projects are hard to recover. And this is pretty hard for impatient people as instead of waiting for the recovery, panic selling may come and lose.
1531  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Naoya Inoue vs Paul Butler - Undisputed Bantamweight Bout - December 13 on: October 16, 2022, 11:54:12 AM
As for the betting discussion, Inoue by a decision is not that likely and I expect this will be a KO but the challenge is to know what range it will happen.
Maybe, however, if you want your KO bet to be exciting, you need to guess correctly which rounds Inoue will KO Butler. Usually the formats are rounds 1-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-12.. You will only choose one for better odds, that's still 25% chance only if it will be a KO win by Inoue indeed.

Well, it's kinda hard to put a bet on the first three rounds because I know Butler won't be facing Inoue on a toe-to-toe match here because he'd probably end the fight within the 1st or 2nd round. Strongest option for me is the second one, that might be the time where Butler is already cornered. How about you, what do you think?

Good point though, but if the odds would still make us profitable, why not bet on rounds 1-3, and 4-6, so in the first 6 rounds, Inoue should win by KO in order for our bet to win. However, if you want bigger return, then you better take a higher risk to get a better odds, and that is probably rounds 1-3.
1532  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: October 16, 2022, 11:33:37 AM
SMB's import already made 11 points, that's very low compared to the import of Bay Area Dragons who dropped 39 big points in this game. We can really tell how important Fajardo is inside because he was present and healthy, he could certainly help his team to give a very competitive match.

Better luck next time "KA BEERMEN", make the right bounce back like what the Dragons just did.

Yes, better luck next time, and we know that SMB is a good team and they will bounce back for sure, so watch out for their next game and don't miss betting on them. On the mean time, let's enjoy the 2nd game, so far Magnolia is controlling the game with a big lead, I'm afraid we will again see another one sided game tonight, that would make it a boring night overall.
1533  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Haney vs Kambosos II (Undisputed) on: October 15, 2022, 02:12:53 PM
No one knows who's going to win but basing from how they fought last time, if Haney still has the dominance during the fight the
outcome may still be the same.

Haney knows what's at stake in this fight, I mean if he wins this rematch then it would mean that he would fight Loma next which I think is a money fight for both of them and that would be interesting as well as both fighters are very technical.

So with that being said, I'll go for Haney by decision this time with a not so attractive odds but for me is the way to go.



Yes, it is not so attractive so I think I'm going with Haney winning by KO as it's currently at 3.40 in my bookie. I know there's a little chance and the odds says a lot, however, if Kambosos will try to be more aggressive, that will make him careless and that could be the reason why he will get KO.

I could be wrong, but I'm okay because if I'm right, I would go home big.

KO is also possible, although Haney is not a knockout artist, but he has 15KOs of his 28 wins, so anything is possible. If we think that Kambosos would lose via decision, so we are only thinking that Kambosos would lose here but will survive the 12 rounds, I think Kambosos will not let that happen, I mean, he will try his best to find a new strategy to defeat Haney and we are going to see that tomorrow.
1534  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: October 15, 2022, 01:41:36 PM
Nice timing indeed, now the Meralco is leading by a point in the fourth quarter with 6 minutes to go.

Too bad that i have not bet on that ML for Meralco at halftime, could have been a few dollars richer if I'm brave enough to take that one hehe.

It's understandable, mate. Even if I'm on your feet, I won't consider betting on Meralco ML even if the odds went to @9. That was risky. Even if that's Meralco, we will think that it's risky to trust them to overcome that 20 points deficit and win at the end of the game.

You have to move on now on that bet as it's now close to happening haha. 99-97 Converge with less than a minute to go.

Congrats on the win on your bet, it's now a sure win.

It turns out it was not a sure win because Converge won the game. I believe Meralco was the favorite on that game, looks like we have plenty of upsets in the past games so far, so is that the trend to follow?

Meanwhile, we have ROS vs TNT, looks like we now see a sure winner as TNT is already ahead by 18 points.
Converge win the game even though meralco manage the lead but when the last minute of the game converge take and win the match. Also I did not put a bet in this game in online because of little time conflict when I checked it's already done and converge win but also I am still win because I bet against my fellow office mate. For the second game TNT vs ROS is a big chance for TNT to win this game  because they are stronger than ROS but we can not say it until end of the game
This conference is very unpredictable, even the strong teams does not guarantee a win, so it's our chance to bet on the underdog as upset is normal now. Meralco is known for their strong defense, but we also know that Converge was composed by plenty Alaska players that are also good defensively, so it's not surprising to me that they beat the Meralco Boltz.
1535  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is it possible to calculate how much the price of BTC? on: October 15, 2022, 01:10:29 PM
Many thought that this is scam before that's why other skeptical people are now thinking that they waste their precious opportunity to buy bitcoin before. But since it pump so big for sure those people realize that bitcoin is truly worth it. But even though we see how big the price of bitcoin at the moment no one can predict even those who claim they are expert on this they cannot tell any accurate price on bitcoin at any time. Maybe for now try to learn doing some price analysis since this is the only one which can help you if you want to trade bitcoin.
Ain't no doubt that they already realized that their assumptions are wrong. Yet, we can't still stop people from thinking negatively despite all the changes we have seen with Bitcoin, some people are still worried about the future of Bitcoin. Though we can't just ignore the possibility that one day this may reach an end, however, I was not thinking about it because I believe that 10 years from this still exist and remain profitable.

It is unpredictable and it remains unpredictable forever. We can never change this thing.
1536  Other / Archival / Re: Another Reminder for New Investors on: October 15, 2022, 10:58:03 AM
I was really disappointed with how the chart showed us. Instead, we think about the growing adoption because the crypto market has been growing but too unfortunate that scam projects are also growing wild taking advantage of these new investors that have little knowledge about crypto. I'd see how terrible it was and I was expecting a huge change in the market image due to scam altcoins that flooded the market.

I suggest new investors to choose Bitcoin while still familiarizing the market for the safe keep and not to fall into wrong investment.
1537  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin vs Altcoins? on: October 14, 2022, 02:24:36 PM

Just wondering if everyone invests in Bitcoin or is it worth just focusing on strong altcoins that can 20-50x in the next few years?

It was not advisable to keep and invest in Bitcoin alone but to spread our funds. Yet, I put a huge amount into Bitcoin considering its profitability and we know that this project is the most trusted coin in the market where we can assure ROI. And for the huge number of altcoins now in the market, I consider those in the top 10. Maybe I was wrong but I neglect to buy new coins considering scam issues that mostly happen to them. As I bought these coins, I'd never thought about 20-50x, what I just need is to have a favorable profit when the time has come to sell them.
1538  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Terra Luna Classic - Take profit or hold? on: October 14, 2022, 01:48:31 PM
I think it would be better to take out the original amount and hold the profit  if you think LUNC  will give better profitable result of in future. Meanwhile keep in view the overall Market situation &  try to buy at the dip.
It was not easy to erase the issue that LUNA has been doing, their reputation has already ruin which makes investors stay away and rejected this project. May we can say that this project is worth investing in before but for now, it belongs to shitcoins. Likely, if I still have Luna left in my wallet, I surely sell them all and invest in Bitcoin.

Well, my honest take about this project, it can't be trusted anymore nor I will expect huge investors to help themselves to understand the situation and forget about the past but it serves as a warning to all of us.

I missed the game of Pelicans but upon looking for some updates and news about it, I was shocked and surprised again about Zion Williamson. This guy just got recovered and then he's injured again.

But as per the news, it's not that critical as before. Well, hopefully it isn't so that he'll come back as what he has said.

And the Pelicans could say worth it for the contract they got for him.  Grin

I was not able to watch the game but good thing the injury is not serious, otherwise, it will be a complete disappointment not seeing him again this season. The Pelicans have invested on him, trusting his recovery and that he could come back fully healthy again, but if major injury would happen again, I don't know, maybe they will find a way to trade him.
