Halftime score 43-36 in favor of TNT.

It was once a 20 points lead but SMB were able to bring down the lead into a single digit.
The 3rd quarter is very important, SMB needs to play better and have a big run so we will see a great 4th quarter.

2 of the last 3 games, we have a very entertaining 4th quarter, hopefully, we can still it again tonight.

It will still be Lebron, Davis and then WB. The rest of the supporting cast should perform as well and know their roles. It seems that last seson even their role players are out of sync. Howard was not good but just used sparingly by Vogel. For sure we will see a big difference and the system that Ham have in mind might work this time.

I'm not sure if Westbrook will stay, with the rumors around, it looks like Westbrook will be traded soon. One who season was given to him last season, and yet they still cannot even create a good chemistry, so what's the reason for keeping him if they cannot assure that their chemistry will improve.

I know Westbrook is good, but his individual talent is more valuable to him than being a team player, that's my observation.
1683  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What your ideas about bitcoin adoption in the future? on: August 27, 2022, 11:44:47 PM
Based on the utility and scarce amount of Bitcoin, it holds great potential.

That's true, this potential has the capability to influence change but cannot be changed by fiat economy, bitcoin is built on a network protocols that supercede local currencies and the value created with this digital currency is extraordinarily superb such that it does not deminish with time, bitcoin has come and its staying for live, this is the only currency that has succeeded after the introduction of fiat and make hold.
And it was an amazing creation built for something good and beneficial to everyone who adopt this. I actually do not see this replacing fiat/local currency in the future but as we adopt into more online transactions, the use of Bitcoin will surely increase and be used by most individuals. Many people believe this new technology had something to do with us in the future and that is why they support this and make this a reason why it is still alive despite major attacks and banning from developing countries.

What's the end of those high APY projects with 99,000% returns? The likes of Helena and others? I haven't heard about them in a while, the last time I checked they have no volume on exchanges anymore..
Don't get too attached to these projects, not I was saying they are all scams but yes, this kind of trick may fall into the schemes. We have to be aware that it was impossible to make money from a non-working project. I know their offer is very high and attractive but we have to consider how could they generate money if they are still in the pre-selling period. Just take a look at how good is their marketing and could really entice investors to join but yes, we can also draw some speculation that this will ended up scamming.

This time currently we experience a bull trap it is just a mini pump because they aren't decided yet with the market decision but again we are in the bearish market until the halving comes so this is a good time to make an accumulation of the coins and wait for the dip. As of today we experience the market crash again below the 20k$ and for sure there's a chance we see it again at the bottom and this is the right time to hold your coins. This upcoming December there's a chance if we see another hope or not.
I have not considered it a bull trap, and I really don't think it really exists in a volatile market - it was just to happen that price correction in inevitable and it comes anytime. Every now and then, drops can be happening after a short pump as expected and therefore, we have to be careful when buying and never expect the rise will continue to go further. Well, the thing is that we need to be prepared for what happens next since we already know the situation of the market and still, we are in bearish condition.
1686  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Fernando Martinez vs Jerwin Ancajas rematch - Oct.8 on: August 27, 2022, 12:45:01 PM
The Ancajas team will have to make significant adjustments for the upcoming fight with Martinez, since in the first fight Ankahas could not restrain Martinez's attacks and turn the tide of the fight in his favor and acted, as it seems to me, without initiative, I hope now he will have more motivation.

I think in the first fight, Ancajas failed to adjust since Martinez is just a replacement so the strategy that Ancajas works for months had been wasted.  So I think that is a fair enough reason to mess up on their first fight.  Even Pacquiao in his post-fight interview stating that he had trouble adjusting to Ugas during the fight shows how difficult it is for a boxer when there is a sudden change of opponent.  But I think this 2nd fight will be different since Ancajas has ample time to review and scout the opponent and create a sound strategy to beat Martinez.

Let's take that as a valid excuse, but if you look at the other side, Martinez could also use that as an excuse if he loses the fight. now, there are no more excuses because they are given a rematch if Ancajas think it's the adjustment that made him lose the fight, then for sure, he can make the right adjustment in this fight given he had plenty of time to prepare.

That's why excuses are not good in boxing, because it will only lose respect to the winner of the fight, why not give credit to the winner and for the loses, he has to work harder next time, make the right adjustment so the opportunity of the rematch will not be wasted.

It's their pride they are trying to protect, so excuses is always their, but regardless, in the eyes of the fans, they know the real winner. Look at the fight between Fury and Wilder, Wilder made an excuses until they reach a trilogy and in the end it was concluded that Fury was really the better fighter.

So in this particular fight, we will be seeing a rematch, if Ancajas lose again, we can already conclude Martinez is the better fighter which is deserving to be the champion.
1687  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 - September 17 on: August 27, 2022, 12:04:01 PM
Ring generalship, effective aggressiveness, and defense are always mentioned as huge factors in scoring a fight because they lead to successful punches and counter punches. And if a round is somehow at a tie then the aggressor should win. Most of the time, the aggressor is the ring general and the one that controls the tempo of the fight. Fighters like Floyd Mayweather may not be aggressive but due to his superb defense, most aggressors aren't that effective causing Floyd to successfully counter-punches.

I agree with this, but this fight, both are aggressive and yet there's no knockout happening. The first fight result in a draw, but in the 2nd fight Canelo won the judges despite the fact that it's a very close fight and some thought GGG got the win. In the end, it's still on the hands of the judges as they have the final say on the result of the fight, the only reason we have a trilogy is because the fans ask for it, and that would result to good money for the boxers and the promoters.

Give me some reason OP why I should have to trust this project and would encourage me to invest in this. I have no clue at all because the APY is not enough to say it was worthy nor do we trust a project that has not already been launched. How can they provide us returns (APY per 15 minutes) if their project is not gaining or working yet?

Ponzi schemes and or any scam tricks aren't new to us OP, and this project seems to be like them. You will only regret if you invest this project - true.
1689  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Forbes claims that more than half of Bitcoin trade records are fake on: August 26, 2022, 11:29:57 PM
I'm not sure about half of the trade records are fake but I believe that some exchanges had faked their taking volume in order to attract more traders to join. I'd see this most in non-reputable exchanges and much more for scam exchanges. I'd see how devastating it was and ruining the trust of the people and this make some to felt worried and doubtful. This kind of trick is very known to us now but this would never win as long as we've done the research, we still found them who manipulate the records.

Looks like TNT is not missing Chot Reyes, they are competing very well against the SMB. Anyone here knows the handicap in this game? I was too busy and forgot that there's a game today. If I was able to place my bet, I would still go with SMB.

It's -3.5 for San Miguel Beermen, not that high and very attractive if you are a fan of SMB but looking at the game right now it seems that whoever wins, will just have a lead of not more than 5 points because it's a close one not like in game 2 where SMB separated in the early minutes of the fourth quarter.

Okay, good thing I didn't bet, this game goes to OT because of a bad mistake.  Smiley

There's a chance that SMB will cover here, or TNT to win, Jayson Castro this time did not make the last shot attempt, he was defended well.
More extra minutes, more fun. GO SMB!

1692  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Fernando Martinez vs Jerwin Ancajas rematch - Oct.8 on: August 25, 2022, 01:14:26 PM
That fact alone will be one of the reasons why Ancajas should be more eager to get the belt that was once safe in his possession before he got lost by a first time title challenger, Martinez. Let's just give Ancajas the benefit of the doubt too because having a sudden exchange of opponent will of course make him struggle or any boxer in the industry as Ancajas himself didn't prepared for Martinez.
Yes, that is fair enough, let's see how he can do in the rematch, I mean he saw what he did wrong in the first fight that's why he immediately wanted to fight Martinez again and see a different version of Ancajas, the one that we know of, who can box and beat his opponent to the punch. He also has the speed, but something is really off that night with Ancajas and after the fight he said that he had cramps, but is no excuses. So in the rematch for sure it will be Ancajas at his best because he wanted to get back the belt that he lost and be back on the discussion for a Ioka fight.

It is a good thing that Ancajas got a new nutritionist.  Having cramp after a fight mean he is lacking some minerals which is the responsibility of the nutritionist to keep him fully nourished.  The cramp simply shows that he isn't conditioned enough for the fight.  It looks like Ancajas underestimate Martinez in their first fight and he paid the price greatly.  For sure the 1st match is a lesson for Ancajas and will surely adjust his trainings according to what they have learned in the previous fight.

It happened once, it should not happen again in this fight, otherwise, it will kill his dream to stay as a champion and win more championships. Ancajas is still young, he can still achieve more, but if he cannot avenge his loss and get back his belt, then I think his journey ahead will be very very hard.
1693  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 25, 2022, 12:07:38 PM
So, if they built a team where it is Kyrie-Seth-Harris-KD-Simmons five out there, which would be very difficult because it lacks center but they can just rest one of them and put a center in there and just change whoever is resting, that way they will always have 1 center, 1 amazing passer Simmons, and 3 shooters at all times. That's a team that can fight for a title with the right coach if you ask me.

Kyrie Irving and Seth Curry shouldn't be on the same floor most of the time. Seth is more suited up for being a backup Point Guard for Irving. Ben Simmons though can handle the PG position like in his Philadelphia 76ers tenure but looking at Brooklyn's roster, I see that he is more suited up as a Shooting Guard and a backcourt duo for Kyrie Irving.

There's no question about the performance of Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and Ben Simmons. They are all good and explosive. However, since these 3 are known "divas" in their own way, I hope Coach Steve Nash will be able to handle these 3 properly wherein we can see the cooperation of these said players to their coach. Especially Durant, there's surely an awkward relationship now between him and his coach.

Anyhow, I know they are professional and will do their best for the team.

I don't think that Simmons can be a "shooting" guard, we all know that his one of his weak points, he can't shoot outside. He is more of a drive by player and assists man, so really a point guard. So now sure how they can space things up with Kyrie and Ben at the same time. Or it could be Irving and Simmons alternating as PG for the Nets, and then KD doing his thing and then Seth as tehir shooting guard. But we will have to see what kind of adjustment Nash will do with his 3 superstars that might overlap the position.

That will make them unpredictable because Irving can play a great PG as well. If Simmons will play hard, he cannot just contribute to holding the ball but most importantly on the defensive side because of his athleticism and his length. Though that remains to be seen but I'm optimistic that this line up is more effective than the previous big 3 with James Harden.

Depending on what you were preferred of,
If you want to have fund security and less hassle which another party will take responsibility to grow your money - then choose mutual fund investment.
But if you want to take a high risk - then make choose of Bitcoin investment.

But for me, I'd rather make myself engage to something that could help to be more engage to market analysis as I was having fun of it and more it helps to develop decision-making.

I feel like im gambling by going all in one crypto like ETH and the drops are hitting me very hard with its high volatility compared to BTC
First of all, you need to clearly understand the nature of the market. As what I can see you, it is definitely a weird feeling and a lot of worries because you are still never yet familiar with the market condition.

I'd say you are not in gambling, you never gonna go guessing when choosing projects to invest in for as long as you know what you are doing. Many issues like this and that is because you are lack of knowledge. Tried to study more and adapt to the behavior of the market you'll somehow know that investing these high volatile coins gives you a chance to earn more.
1696  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is It For The Money Or For The Sport Or A Clear Exploitations on: August 22, 2022, 01:34:48 PM
Internet sensations and celebrity influencers are indeed making a mockery of the noble sport of boxing, if you were to ask me...

I have never liked seeing these "pretend" matches which only serve as entertainment for the lowest of minds in the world of boxing.

Although maybe they are just fillers because there are not enough famous boxers fighting, so they try to fill in the time with the celebrity influencer clowns.

You may look at it that way and I fully understand why you don't like them.  I am a bit inclined to have an open mind and just let things flow in the sports industry without thinking too much.  Often times exhibition fight such as internet sensation vs. sports legend are created to cater fund and support some charity.  It is somehow a noble act entertaining the sports fans and at the same time giving part of the fund raised to help people but yeah, sometimes it is a mockery of the seriousness of sports.
More often it was announced as an exhibition fight and literally, it was clear to everyone about the nature of the said fight was compared to a title fight. So I think this won't affect the sports industry nor their reputation as well knowing that someone or group of people will benefit from the money earned from this. And this kind of event will still be going to continue as long as there is someone who would offer it.
1697  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: August 22, 2022, 12:36:23 PM
Okay, I hope you guys are done discussing what happened in game 1.

Let's now move on to game 2, it will be on Wednesday, so there's plenty of time for SMB to review the tape and determine what their mistakes on why they let their big lead melt in the 2nd half. I'm sure SMB will still remain as the favorite in game 2, and I don't mind because I'm backing them to even the series.

Though I like to bet now but there's no odds available yet, it will only start offering tomorrow evening, so make sure you ready your bets for tomorrow, put on SMB to win, if they will still lose, double it in game 3, no way they will be 3-0 in the series.  Smiley
Despite of the performance of TNT, I agree that SMB will not go into a position of 3-0 here and this one is a good strategy if you really want to win some though of course there's still a risk and we can't really know. I'm waiting as well for the odds, this can be interesting especially if TNT will be the favorite team to win in game 2.

SMB should do better in the next game and should practice how to take care of their lead and to stay compose despite of the pressure giving to them by their opponent. TNT should also not be complacent here, game 1 is quiet a game test for both teams, probably the upcoming games will be more exciting.

Of course, if PBA is rigged, then they will find a way to make it a long series, and we are going to take advantage of that. hehe..

I don't have a cash now, but I'm thinking of borrowing at least 30k which I will pay in less than a week.

My plan is, I will put 10k in game 2, if it wins, I will pay the loan and take the profit, if not, I will bet the remaining 20k in game 3, and just hope SMB will win. Do you think it's a good idea?

1699  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Vasiliy Lomachenko vs Jamaine Ortiz - October on: August 22, 2022, 11:42:06 AM
It will not be a walk in the park fight for Loma here, Ortiz has a lot of potential and an upcoming fighter. But I guess it's not his time yet because Loma is very eager to show his talent once more. And as others have said, his compatriot just won the heavyweight and retain the belt, so it should create a positive impact for him in this fight. But we shouldn't totally write off Ortiz, he may have something special in this fight and he is very much younger so that will be one of his advantage if he can go and outpace Loma's punch output.

I agree with you. Ortiz still have a long way to go before he can match Loma's skills.  Aside from that there is a huge difference between fighting a low skilled boxer, a decent boxer and a skilled boxer.  Sadly for Ortiz he is used with fighting against low-skilled fighter so I bet he will be in shock once he dance with Lomachenco on the ring.  But of course we don't remove the possibility of upset win but from the looks of it, it is far from happening because Ortiz doesn't have an impressive knock out record besides I think Loma can receive Ortiz power punches.  Ortiz needs to up his game in order to catch up with Lomachenco's skill.
Upset is possible, but honestly, I don't think he stand a chance against Loma, well, maybe the chance is very slim like 5%, so nothing is impossible. Anyway, I just want to see an impressive win by Loma here because this is his comeback fight.

With a mountain of competition in the trading industry of cryptocurrencies, I bet they will do this just to gain fame and possibly snatch some big traders from the popular ones. This is where reputation will be a big factor, although there are instances traders are forced to use what is in front of them because of country restrictions from the popular one.
Even if they want to use the trusted trading platform, they just can't because of the restriction and this is what new exchanges are taking advantage of.
Perhaps, it was not a new thing hearing such manipulative trading volume just for the sake to gain fame and attention to the crowd, it was just like using a good bait to catch a huge fish. They are doing this so we would think that they are reputed and trusted exchanges due to their huge volume but behind that numbers, it was lies hidden. 
And do we think they can be trusted? As the majority are aware of this game, they will just fail.
That is why we should be careful when choosing an exchanges and we don't just focus on the volume but also consider their feedbacks.
