That's sad news because they did really waive CP3. Well, who knows if his era is about to end but that's not what I am hearing from the rumors and the one that I'm hearing is about the Lakers eyeing him. It's possible that he gets to play with Lebron if ever he'll stay in the Lakers. I know that teams won't let it pass that if there's an opportunity to take CP3, they'll take him. He's able to help the Suns to get to where they've landed this season and that's commendable to him, he'll sure find another home.

Paul and James both have guaranteed contracts for next season. So my guess is that James will most likely stay with the Lakers, but Paul's situation isn't so clear-cut. I mean, Paul is quite an expensive asset for any team since his salary should be $30.8 million for next season. So if the Lakers really want to get Paul, it won't be an easy task for them because they have nothing to offer the Suns in such a deal.
Well, that's true unless there could be some adjustments made and Paul is willing to take a salary pay cut which I think is possible just for him to get to another him. It's still too early to scout where he's going since there are still the finals and the drafting that will happen soon too.
I still want to see him part of any team and be with whoever is comfortable playing with him.

Coach Spo recently said that Herro was listed as out for Game 4. So we shouldn't worry that Herro's return could negatively impact the team's current chemistry. By the way, I wouldn't rule out the possibility that Herro mightn't play in the final series at all because it would make no sense for Coach Spo to experiment with rotating players after the outcome of Game 4.
If he's just healthy as he can be, there's someone who's too fierce for the Heat but then it's much better not to become a casualty to them for the game 4.

The trick is very simple that is I am applying to myself. If I cannot afford it, there is no other option but to buy those things that I want in cash. Not gonna get any borrowed money or even gonna take a loan. That's the first simple rule that's working for me and I am sure that others are also using this as a rule to themselves, simply don't take it if you cannot afford it. In short, do not borrow if you're planning to go for it, and for those that have debt and having a hard time dealing with it. First, don't add another debt and as much as you can, have more cash flow.

This is really the best thing to do, but again, for others, it is not possible as they need to take a loan twice for something. If you are having a family and the income is not that huge and you need to pay something like tuition or needed stuff in your home, you are forced to take a loan. Also, as others said, if you won't take a loan, you can't purchase those things, which is sometimes true because I took a loan just to have my motorcycle as we used it for traveling, and we know right now that the fare is very expensive, and I also can't purchase it in cash. But the thing is that I can pay it on a monthly, so there are no problem with me, but I do need to pay it on time, and there are no other debts so that I can still pay it.
Yes, it's not applicable to all but I hope that someone will realize it. It's quite hard to understand if we want something to have as ours but if we really can't afford it, much better not to resort to it through taking a loan. That's gonna put you into a deeper hole of loaning because you'll discover that you can have things even if you lack money. That's why that thinking won't work on me and I'll just accept the fact that if I can't buy it through cash, then I'll have to forget it for now and save until I am able.

Things will change for those who are chasing to get qualified to TI because of the DPC points that will be distributed for this Bali major. Remember that this is going to be the last major for this year prior to TI, cmiiw. Too short for Talon as they only need a few points to qualify. While some teams might be up after gaining a lot of points after this Bali major. But I think that even after this Bali major, Talon will still be able to qualify and get a secured slot for TI. There are already 5 slots secured and Talon is on the 6th place because some teams who are gonna play in Bali are already qualified for the TI and that's not a competition anymore for Talon. But who knows, we'll just have to wait until it ends and see the calculations for the points.

Bali will be the last Major, and Talon is not in a rough spot but also not in a comfortable spot either. Whatever happens in Bali though, Talon will remain to be a strong contender in the SEA region. If ever they dropped to resort to the open qualifiers (which I know wouldn’t happen), they are one of the best teams with the highest chance to edge out other teams.

It’s less than a month before the quiet months start on the road to TI. I’m excited on the new teams that will be born to conquer the open qualifiers honestly more than those who will qualify the yearly tournament.

Yes, unless the teams at the bottom are the ones dominating the upcoming Bali major there is a high chance that Talon will be in TI without further competing in the regional qualifier and the last-chance qualifier. Qualifying again won't be easy for Talon if their DPC points aren't enough since all the current SEA representatives are possible to play as well knowing they need more points and a strong finish in Bali to secure TI slots thru the DPC points system.

The last major of this season is a month less. I am also excited to see the new teams rather than the usual ones.
Execration needs to finish the Bali major at the 5th-6th place the least in order for them to have more than what Talon has. Because their current DPC point now is 740, Talon has 1120. So, if Execration ends with that place they will earn 400 DPC points and that will make it 1140 DPC points and that's more than 20 points with Talon. Or if they end up with 7th-8th place, they'll get +300 DPC points and that makes them 1040 DPC points and they've got more with Team Spirit and beastcoast but the problem is, these two teams are also gonna participate in Bali so they'll for sure gonna have more too. I'm thrilled and excited to see how this will go.

And I wonder if any of us here will be watching live irl. Maybe in the next bull run in 2025 I will try if a major is happening near in my country.
I would love to but I can't, hoping someday that it gets close and I want to watch live too.

I have seen this type of lottery before but those don't require logging in it's like a hash and there is the address where they'll deposit the money for the ticket and then if they win, you'll input the address where you want to receive the winnings if ever you win with your ticket.
We can't give that much review on your website if it's under construction so, finish it first and have something inside on it so that we can see. It's discouraging to see the landing page asking to log in while most casinos will allow you to explore their platforms.

Anyone see this news?

Quote
The Phoenix Suns plan to waive veteran guard Chris Paul, according to a report from Bleacher Report/TNT’s Chris Haynes.

Shams Charania of The Athletic reports that a trade could also be on the table, along with potentially waving and re-signing the 12-time All-Star this offseason.

https://www.nba.com/news/chris-paul-free-agency-phoenix-suns

Ok, so after the firing of their coach, it seems the new owner is making a big chances on the player side as they waived CP3 already and obviously, wanted to clear some space so that they can get a new player. And if they trade him, might be interesting which team and what will be the trading package. Who knows, maybe he can play with Lebron? What's your thoughts?

Yeah, I have the same feeling that Talon will still secure a slot through having enough DPC points for the TI but let's see how things will change because we'll never know how teams will perform until we see the end of this major. It feels like another year has passed on and that's another quick one while many good teams are still struggling and their last resort is to go through the qualifiers which is the hardest part of going in to have that slot in the TI. How I wish that this TI will still have the wild card but before talking with that, focusing now first with the upcoming major.
1548  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever felt remorse after gambling? on: June 07, 2023, 10:04:11 PM
If a person gamble and at the end of the game he starts to feel remorse is that a good thing or should the person be on alert?
Pretty normal when someone feels remorse at the end of the game and that's when he has lost money and his bet. I don't think that there's a need to be alert on it or it's a good thing because you'll never feel that if you have never gambled at all.

and to avoid such emotion, spend what you can afford to lose, the amount you can tell to yourself that you won't go broke because you lost it all in gambling.
Right, if you don't want to feel it then you should only gamble what you can afford to lose or any amount that you think your conscience won't be feeling any remorse for whether you win or lose.

most gamblers are remorseful because they are allotting such money to other needs and yet, they lost it in their gambling activities.
That's one reason and it's a wrong thing that you allot money to gambling which should be for other purpose.

I just want to get some more opinions whether it is a proven method to earn free cryptocurrencies, and if yes,
It is a proven method that you can earn dust amounts for free so if that's the question, then the answer is a yes.

will it be worth my time and efforts on those platforms?
For me, it's not worth my time anymore. Faucets are good for newbies just to know that this is possible to earn and they'll have a glance and a way of earning a few of these cryptos. But if you're going to make it as a source of income, you gotta need a lot of spare to collect such decent amount on it.

Just watched the series of Execration and Blacklist. They've just battled for the DPC points and placing but both of them are going to the Bali major. Blacklist ended as the 2nd place and Execration as the 3rd and there's the difference of the points they've won by 100.
While Bleed Esports as the 1st place for the DPC Sea. Right now, I'm watching the match of Boom Esports and Army Geniuses, one of them will remain on division 1 and that's whoever wins the series while the loser will be back to division 2. Boom won the 1st game.

Just as people thought that Talon emerged as the region's best team, they now failed to qualify for this season's last major. Talon only needs 40 points to qualify in the TI but now they need the luck to stay in the top 12 DPC ranking which is still very likely. But it signifies that the region remained hotly contested and it is a good sign because they need to up their games in order to compete with the best on the world stage. These 3 teams need to be competitive in Bali as they badly lack the points to qualify for TI.

Another team inside the top 12 that failed to qualify for Bali is TSM and it is almost certain that it will find itself outside the top 12 after the Bali major.

Yeah, I also see it as a FUD, and SEC has done it not just once but many times and they've done it as well against Ripple. There are basis but I wouldn't let myself be invested in this news. While those people claim that if Binance goes down then crypto will go to zero. Come on, these people just want everyone to panic so that you'll be selling what you've got and they'll be buying all of those cheap Bitcoins. Again, this market isn't for the fainted heart and any news that's related to these exchanges doesn't have something to do with Bitcoin directly. Yes, they could affect the price but that's temporary.

But these bots will partake in anything that they can as long as the requirements are too easy for them to join.
That's why I said that these bot accounts take part in normal giveaways which have no requirements like simple like and retweet for small amounts but there are promotions from the team with wagering requirements also like get bonus codes or freespins with 1x wagering or more and big events see how much you deposit etc which these bots account avoid.But yes we see lot of them participating in Twitter giveaways about which we can't do anything.
Yeah, there's nothing we can do about it but I am sure that the management is aware of these and they want to see that more legitimate users win instead of these bot owners.

I only claim twice if I remember it right because in just a minute , the code claiming is done.
You're lucky to even claim that quickly because many of us here don't even qualify for that because claiming is too quick to be gone and we're not sure how many of those are bots and genuine people. There's more engagement in Twitter and maybe that's why they're active there than of Instagram.

And that's why during the bull season we see these so-called "influencers" and good traders because it's too easy to make a profit during that time.
But come and ask them during the bear market, they'll be gone and they will have a hard time making money during that season. So, those that make good trades during the bear and bull seasons, really are the great traders that are silent and they don't care about other people because they're all focused on their trades and how they make money during these seasons.

And it could be a fake influencer whose actually good portfolio is purely by luck, not professionally.
I suddenly remember the last bullish season, surprisingly many "influencers" came up on social media showing off their shitcoin portfolios and then teaching their followers how to trade. I haven't seen them lately.
That's right, I have seen a bunch of them that has just come to become influencers, and then their contents were boasting of their portfolios. It's truly possible that they've been lucky with their portfolio and they're explaining that it's all about how researchful and good they are in analysis. They can fool new ones but not me and for sure the others here. Even those that are not into crypto, suddenly made content about investing in meme coins and random altcoins that they're saying were good to make them some money. Too many misleading influencers encourage new people and dictate what to invest.

It's good to see Heat won Game 2. That means more matches and more rating for NBA. If Nuggets swept Heat that would be bad for marketing. They can keep the Final series Heat, pun intended. Smiley
I'm never thinking that it was like that. I want to see if this final is going to have its sweep and that will be one of the greatest in history. A team that's first time as a finalist and then swept its opponent but not anymore. Well done to the Heat. Although I didn't see the typical Jimmy Butler in this game this game 2 showcased the other talents that the Miami Heat has. I like the rotation of them and how Coach Spo shuffled the players for this match so close for the Nuggets but glad that Heat took the game.

It all depends on how good you are because there are traders that make more during the bear and the same goes for some that do it better in the bull run.
But if I'll speak for myself, I'd say that it's during the bull run. Because it's like easy to predict what will happen as most of the coins in the market are going to be up thanks to the bull season.
You are right. If someone has good skills in trading, he can get profits both in bearish and bullish seasons. The chance for profits can come at any time, it doesn't depend on the season. However, since the prices tend to drop during the bearish season, the chance for profits isn't as many as in the bullish season. So, it is true that we are easier to predict the price pump/increase during the bullish season than in the bearish season. That's why many people become more active to trade in the bullrun season.
And that's why during the bull season we see these so-called "influencers" and good traders because it's too easy to make a profit during that time.
But come and ask them during the bear market, they'll be gone and they will have a hard time making money during that season.

People will be there to watch and not to bet.

This is one of those things that I would have never imagined it could happen, but here we are, however I suppose it was long coming as there are world records related to sex already, so some people already saw it as some form of competition to be had, and when people think of something on that way then some sort of official competition could emerge, still even if I had the opportunity I will not bet on this event, however it would not surprise me if casinos began offering competitions like this on the future as events like those gained popularity around the world.
Honestly, I have seen a video of this before and it's like a competition but I thought of it as just a theme of that video and it's like a spoof. Well, in today's world, we can really see something like this happen and I think it's not just Sweden that did it there were some countries already that are open to it but they just never report it to the media, I have no idea. But if casinos will list this as a physical sports, they know that it will gather more attention and bettors if they do so.

I don't write that much in this section but what Jokic is doing is really something new, the team looks like one, they have good synergy the ball is going fast and Jokic is perfect center figure for that type of play. I think Nuggets will win the series in convincing fashion.
It's because his chemistry with his tandem and other teammates didn't just build over a year or two. They've gone through the process and that's the foundation of what this team has got. Unlike other teams that were trying to do shortcuts through getting superstars after superstars, that doesn't really work well but maybe for a few teams it does but not for most. Jokic is now gonna be the standard of other teams when it's come to getting their center which is flexible and can also shoot whenever he does.
I agree he changed the role of center. I wish Denver can bring Doncic with which they could be in process of making a run for couple of titles. I belive he would blend perfect in Denver team.
Do you mean Luka on Denver? I don't think that the Mavs will release him, he's like the new face of the Dallas Mavericks just after Dirk's retirement.
IIRC, Mark Cuban (owner of Dallas) has already said in an interview or an article that he's not going to let go of Luka and he'll stay there for as long as he wants.
Yeah, maybe that was before and who knows what the future may bring if there are better opportunities. But you know what, there are times loyalty is much more appreciated than honoring higher contracts.
