Watching Bay Area Dragons and North Port, end of 3rd quarter, score 80-77 in favor of Dragons. It's close and North Port managed to get a lead but that's not even far on the past quarters. We'll see if they'll be the first team to beat these giants.
This Liu guy is really playing easy and tall, also has long arms. Easy throwing the ball under the ring.

Wow, what a game. It was intense and an exciting one, NorthPort almost got the win but Bay Dragon's import Powell did save the day for them with that buzzer-beater 3-pointer. Though the lost, nothing to be ashamed of because NorthPort manage to kept the game as close as possible until the final buzzer and this will remind the Dragons that they will lose along the way when they faced a stronger team like SMB, TNT or Ginebra.
Truly what a game! That was really close, that buzzer beater made by Powell. That's really surprising, I thought that it's really the game for Northport but really a few mistakes and they're done.
Those turnovers, I think that were two turnovers that they should have secured the game with those 42 seconds remaining. That lousy lay up of Arwind, I guess many fans are blaming that now.
They could have won the game, but mistakes do happen, there's nothing to blame, they will improve for sure, what's important here is that we proved this guess team is not really that good, they are not unbeatable. Next game, Bay Dragons will be up against the Phoenix Super LPG.

I guess the mining software is a certain beauty named Unmineable, right? If it is, then you are good. By the way, Baby Doge had a certain pump earlier this year, hope you caught that particular pump. I don't usually hodl meme coins for obvious reasons. Maybe you can try it
My first time to heard this token can be mined lol. i guess if OP was joking about mining this token caused by the supply was actually fixed like shiba inu and it can't be mined. I can't even believe with what he said above even if this already confirmed by baby doge's admin if that was not able to be mined caused by it was POS or fixed supply of token. I guess if op was joking about mining it. That's true.
I was surprised as well. I'm not really sure if OP is really engaged in mining but never mind it coz I see that OP just wanted to mine shitcoins because it gives him a huge amount of useless tokens. Because when hearing baby Doge, I was already thinking about Dogecoin and this another meme coin or shitcoin Baby Doge, I'd see no different from the mother coin (Dogecoin). I'm  not sure if OP have done with the research but I think, he's not doing this to make himself profitable but a way to trick people.
1603  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Naoya Inoue vs Paul Butler - Undisputed Bantamweight Bout - December 13 on: September 24, 2022, 11:33:15 AM
So I don't think that Butler can go the whole 12 rounds. It will really be a punishment and maybe his team will throw in the towel because they don't want Paul to get ruin by so much punches he will get from Inoue if ever it will go to the distance and they will still lost in the judges card.

His team might not get even a chance to throw that towel because Inoue is so quick that they will not know when is the right time to throw that towel to stop the fight. The moment they will throw the towel, Butler might already kiss the floor.

No disgrace to Butler or to any fans here that we are throwing speculations like that. It's just that, that's the close thing to happen. Yes, Inoue is also a human and they have the same weight as Butler but the former's built is really something that no one in Bantamweight can match against him.

Butler camps need to act fast if they are not want to see Butler kissing the floor.

I see your point and it's true Inoue's skills can put him down in the way that he doesn't know where it's coming,
this fighter has an extraordinary speed in this division.

The only thing to survive in my opinion is not to dare to deal with toe-to-toe confrontations. I mean not to let
Inoue to box him and allow exchanges of punches.

There's nothing to improve for Butler, he did a great job on his last fight and he got the belt. I think surviving is the most important thing he has to do here, going toe to toe will likely end the fight early, and Inoue will be declared as the undisputed champion.

Shitcoins - are most likely not to survive.
Perhaps, they are many of these kinds and it was hard to mention. So, what are we gonna do to skip losing our money and avoid investing in these projects, research is very important, and do choose coins that have been on the top listed coins, not on the bottom? And one last thing, be careful with these hypes project for somewhat this is very risky.

I'm sorry for spoiling the Wolves discussion but are users here aware that Ime Udoka has been suspended for the upcoming 2022-2023 NBA season. Just this time, they already given his sanction and that is to suspend him for the whole season.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/sports/celtics-coach-ime-udoka-suspended-2022-23-season-rcna49079
Quote
The Boston Celtics have suspended coach Ime Udoka for the 2022-23 season, effective immediately, and with no guarantee he will be back with the franchise in the future.

In case some don't know, Udoka had "an improper intimate and consensual relationship with a female member of the team staff."  that's why he got suspended and he apologized for it. I don't know if this is a big news but I'm pretty sure that the Celtics franchise is heavily affected by this one. He has been a very good coach in his first season, and he led the Celtics to NBA Finals. Their assistant coach, Joe Mazzulla will be their interim head coach. 

Any thoughts with this one? How will the Celtics be affected by this?

I guess it's huge news for them, he is one who changes the franchise last year, so him being absent this season wherein they are one of the favorites because of how they manage to go to the finals.

Not sure though what is happening around the league, I mean I thought this is an open secret. Players bang everyone, and as far as I can remember, Magic Johnson got the AIDS virus because he was "intimate" to many females during his playing time.

It's certainly a big news because this coach brought the Celtics in the NBA championship last season. He broke the rules, he is now punished, and we don't know if the assistant coach that will assume the role is as good as coach Ime Udoka. I'm not anymore betting on Celtics to win the NBA championship, i think their betting odds are also affected.

With the guest team and the trades that take place, we might see some good twist around.
The good twist would only happen on the big teams like the SMB and Pangilinan teams, others are just farm teams.

Though still the dominance of those big companies is still present, but who knows, maybe surprise and upset may happen from independent teams.
I like to see that surprise you are talking, this guess team has not face TNT, SMB, and Ginebra, maybe we can see a real competition as these teams have good imports and local players as well.
1607  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading and financial planning. on: September 22, 2022, 11:32:25 PM

People should be realizing up these things because there's no such thing about easy money on whatever investment or business you are dealing with which means that it does really involved risk which can potentially
lose up money if you dont know on what you are doing or simply doesnt really being mindful on applying those knowledge on the first place.Its normal that you should really be having plans on what actions
should really be executed on the time you had encountered various conditions or situations specially when we are dealing with very unpredictable market then it would really be that a normal action
to be taking unless if you do have that gambler like mind which doesnt really care at all.
Planning is very important in running a business. Because even though you have knowledge and skills but there is no direction to follow, it still makes no sense at all.

And aside from that, a proper execution will help a lot to success. Many people who run a business fail because of a lack of motivation and mindset. What they know most that after putting money it will grow after a few days but unfortunately, this never works in that way as many instances ROI will take months and sometimes years to see it. Likely, if we are impatient people, doubted if this is suitable for us because I believe we can't manage to handle stress and easily give up.
1608  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How I feel about play to earn games on: September 22, 2022, 11:32:42 AM
At the end of it all no play to earn games can gives player the satisfying reward they deserve, there is no unlimited reward in play to earn games, the only thing that matters is how fun the game can get, people needs to feel like ' well I am ok with the fun more than the payout' its not how much people are going to be earning its how much fun people will have. The game needs to be addicting enough. Am I wrong?
P2E games attracted many gamers because of the rewards but look, after a drastic dump of prices where they can just only earn small, these gamers have been gone. For now, real gamers remain and it doesn't matter if they earn money or not because what their mind is to make fun of it and it was not a business for them, unlike those who just come for money.

It really depends on your perspective. If we’re talking about BTC or ETH, most likely it will be for long term without knowing when it will actually push through. The price movement is uncertain and unpredictable, so you may not know when will it happen and it can go up or down without warning.


In a bear market, this does not only apply to BTC or ETH, the same applies to all altcoins. Both of these coins have good prospects and there is not much difference which one you choose, I assume that in the end both will show approximately the same growth. But since I’m more inclined towards bitcoin, I personally buy bitcoin myself, and now there is practically no ETH in my portfolio, some very small part lies just in case, but my basis is bitcoin.
As a newbie, Bitcoin is still the best choice to start knowing more about crypto. I know altcoins could also have potential but we can't deny that there are a number of worthless altcoins and if ever we mistakenly invest with them, that $100 will surely turn to $0. That is why it was suggested to put our funds into a reliable project like Bitcoin because even if we hold them for 5 years or ten years, we gonna expect growth of its price which literally won't fail us and gives us profit.

When you bet on Butler to win, you are most likely going to throw away your money. Though I can see, some are starting to get interested in ML for Paul Butler. Well, if you've got money to burn, take the risk, upsets are always there anyway. Who knows.

For Paul Butler fans, they won't think that they are wasting money betting on him as they want to show support for the boxer.

True, there are supporters that are willing to make huge bet, regardless of what the odds are for this boxer. And in this case, it will not be a waste of money, because Butler is a huge underdog and if he wins, then his fans who bet on him will also win big.
That's the price you will get if a huge underdog will win, you are like winning a jackpot here.
Although I believe 90% believe that Inoue will win but it's not a guarantee that Inoue will win, remember that he is just a human, he can also make mistakes and Butler could take advantage on that.


From the bettors' side, it's really not making sense to place a bet on Butler just for the purpose of taking advantage of the odds. Let's wait for other betting options while the fight is approaching. Still, around 3 months to go, and expect that while the fight is approaching, more options we can choose to place our bet on.

But for gambling bettors like the majority of us, we would like to see better options. So what we do is wait for the listing of another options, the more the betting. And then we put our money where we think we can win and give value to our bets, specially for average bettors.

Options will be available as the fight is approaching, for now, we cannot expect to see the full odds since we still have more than 2 months before this fight will happen.

Ginebra will still be at a good position here since they have a good chemistry with Brownlee and they already know how to play the game so this will be a big challenge to other team. SMB having a good import will make them a better team, I’m also not familiar with their imports but I’m sure the locals will adjust and that could be a big game for every team. I’m rooting for new teams to play their best and be on top, this is still possible this conference.
SMB seems well established for this year's season. They might have imports but I guess they're comfortable defending as a team and yes, they will be a big challenge to other teams. Having an import will be an advantage if they will get a good player and it seems that they had a good choice so many fans are supporting and rooting for their team again. They have a good line up this time.

The main reason is Fajardo, he is now healthy, back on his MVP form so it's normal that fans think SMB will be the heavy favorite to win the championship. Ginebra has been an exciting team to follow as well as Brownlee would always gives surprises, so it's gonna be a fun conference again.
1612  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: September 19, 2022, 11:36:10 AM
^^ I wouldn't call it humiliating to Westbrook though, and he should embrace it. Having someone like Dennis to play guard when he is having a bad night. So at least there will be alternatives as he is solely their point guard last season. So it might be change on him, perhaps coming off the bench. So there will be a lot of experiments on coach Ham, on how he will have to find the perfect fit in this new Lakers.

It's safe to say that Lakers is having a good back up with Dennis playing as the 2nd unit PG, if Westbrook will mess up, then the roster will still not struggle as Dennis is already familiar with Davis and Lebron and their plays as well. I'm expecting that Dennis will be very useful this season, hopefully he will remain healthy all throughout the season.
1613  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETH is always one step behind the competition on: September 19, 2022, 10:44:37 AM
Ethereum was first to have smart contracts afaik — being early advantage, and community matters a lot in valuing a coin. Just look at doge.

And that makes ETH more valuable than others. I have no claim if it was overpriced or not but because we see ETH gains such a reputation and trust, people will still buy and buy this coin.
Maybe we could say how ETH wins the competition, it was the choice of the investors even though there are other projects similar to its market application. Besides, we can't dictate these investors just like how the invest in shitcoins and meme coins.
1614  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum will get more demand on: September 18, 2022, 10:40:45 PM
I think only some investors don't like ethereum, because they don't know the project has indeed had high potential for a long time, even though there was an increase in gas costs because at that time the increase in the price of ethereum could reach a new ATH so I think everything is natural to happen, and now we can see the team that manages the project is stabilizing the gas costs for ethreum, so with the current price drop, investing is a very right decision, because this project is no longer in doubt.
I hope it will still get more buyers/investors after a huge fall in its price after the merger happens. I was thinking now the demand will also decrease following the current market sentiment and might these investors will looking for more potential projects. But of course, I know ETH won't let things be done and surely Vitalik will take action in these dropping scenarios that cause some worries and uncertainties to the community thinking about the future of ETH.

Great initiative. I have to say it's a win-win situation for both. You can make some money also your customer would take advantage of quick cash out instead of hassle. Although it's a good initiative but always make sure the transaction is confirmed before cashing out. There is a risk involved in double-spending. Train very well your salesman, so they won't make mistakes.
Yes, If OP conduct that business by him self, then there is no problem. And if op are hiring someone else, he will have to give some basic knowledge like receiving or sending a payment. So that the transaction will not wrong. There is an advantage, the money that is fixed for the product or service can be paid instantly.
It was not really technical so I think it was easy to find workers who can manage such a thing and I know that OP had also prepared for that scenario before running his business as a part of the team. Of course, the operation has been planned already so I really think about the success of this business and also, this surely bought profit to them.
It was not that the crypto business is quietly growing this time since more and more people had already about this and much more gaining interest from the community.
1616  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: September 18, 2022, 01:16:07 PM
This time, I don't think Ginebra will win the championship again despite having Brownlee who is undeniably a good import, why? Because with a healthy Fajardo, he can still dominate inside and with the help of their import, it will be easier for him. If we have a championship odds now, I'm guessing SMB will be the top favorites to win.

SMB is like having 2 imports in the upcoming conference now that JuneMar Fajardo is playing like in his prime. In the last conference, he is consistent in doing a monster performance from eliminations, quarterfinals, and semi-finals up to the Finals. Only an import can stop him but if that's the case, how can teams able to stop the real import of SMB?

SMB is like a tough team to beat again. CJ Perez is also playing in his prime and Terrene Romeo might return next conference. There are also other big men in the SMB that is tough to guard like Mo Tautaa and Vic Manuel. A powerhouse team.

I agree with that, they are the powerhouse team now because Fajardo is healthy already. Mo Tautua alone can give problem to an import, so the import of the SMB is so lucky that he does not have to carry the team or defend well as there are other players that could do that.
1617  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 - September 17 on: September 18, 2022, 11:31:14 AM
it took 12 rounds and a decision to defeat GGG. seem not a real fight to me actually. canelo seem very careful in getting too close to fight toe to toe. no highlight that really inflicts damage. its either that or he makes sure the crowd will enjoy a 12 round fight for the independence day celebration. anyone see it like this is an exhibition fight?   




Absolutely not, there's so much at stake to call this an exhibition match, there's not much action between the two, that's because they have too much respect for each other and they both know that one bad or false move one of them can get himself knock out
GGG shows an aging sign and Canelo is just too much for him but he can still fight any fighter in the middleweight division and can still beat them, for Canelo its another great highlight for his career he still has a long way to go and the boxing community is waiting for the next fighter to fight him, many are lining up now.

Canelo respect the power of GGG, and why would he will go for a KO if he can beat GGG with his speed. We saw how GGG slowed down already, he is not the same GGG that fought Canelo in their previous fight, I think the result of the fight clearly tells GGG that he has to retire already.
1618  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Some say Bitcoin is dead but Bitcoin is not dead on: September 18, 2022, 08:49:32 AM
When the price of bitcoin drop to $18k many said bitcoin will crash  0. I don't really blame people who talk bad about bitcoin, they think criticising bitcoin will make people not to buy bitcoin.  With all the bad things they say about bitcoin,  people still go for bitcoin as the best digital currency.
This kind of thing will always be with us, because until now there are still many people who do not like bitcoin. And when bitcoin experiences a bloodbath, of course it becomes an opportunity that will be used to create new fears. Yes they assume that bitcoin will soon meet its end.
And it's true we can't blame people like that, only time will tell, bad words about bitcoin.
Those people are waiting for a chance to be right, they have been too late to bitcoin and couldn't make any profit from it like we did, so what they want to see is bitcoin dying so that they could say "I was smart by not investing into bitcoin, you are an idiot for investing into something that died" and every time it goes down they believe such a thing is possible.

But, the reality is that we just had a drop in the prices just like any other market, look at other markets and you will see it too, and that was the main reason why I believe that we have invested into bitcoin because it moves like other markets when it is about direction but the amount it moves is huge.
Besides, if we talk about Risks, not only Bitcoin but all forms of investment. I let people look down on Bitcoin and talk negatively bout it as they still don't know what they are talking about. It was certainly dying in their views but for us, it was a growing investment that possibly changed our future. Keeping ignorant of the market and what happened recently gives no better future to these people instead, they'll somehow regret it once they know that Bitcoin had survived the dip and doing nothing.

Is Bitgert better than Shiba inu after all? If we have to compare these two it's clear that the winner will be Bitgert, it's utility is purely better than that of Shiba, how many of you know about Bitgert and which one do you feel is better? .
I'd choose Shiba Inu for this time as it has already established market demand and is available on major exchanges. Might to think Bitgert is one of the growing and promising project in the future but who know exactly what gonna happen this project knowing that it is just about to start and the sad reality is that it was hard to gain trust and attraction if nobody like an influential person helps to promote it. That gonna be a changing game for this project while Shiba Inu has already reached that level.

Despite the many supporters of Ginebra, the team seems to have a hard time winning the championship, because let's face it, the new teams that entered the PBA field are not for nothing because they are undeniably strong. the players can also be considered and the Ginebra Team is also very difficult to beat.

Can you mention those new teams that are undeniably strong? Converge is the only new franchise in the league.

It's been several seasons and conferences already that teams from MVP and SMC are always battling in the Finals.

Ginebra also made championships every season since 2015 but in different conferences.

New imports I think but no new team, even Converge are a new team but their players are old.

Ginebra is very successful because of their good import Justin Brownlee, so these coming commissioners cup, let's see if we have a new import that could beat Brownlee as definitely that will not make Ginebra a champion again.
A big challenge to many imports and many teams, but it's still possible since Ginebra will not always be a champion. Imports should play better because they are being hired to play and help the team, that's their main purpose. Converge team is new but already a composed of good players. Let's see if different teams will go for the finals this time or we might ended up with the same team over again, they should challenge the dominance of Ginebra in commissioners cap.

This time, I don't think Ginebra will win the championship again despite having Brownlee who is undeniably a good import, why? Because with a healthy Fajardo, he can still dominate inside and with the help of their import, it will be easier for him. If we have a championship odds now, I'm guessing SMB will be the top favorites to win.
