Yes it was clearly a duck to me as well, how him and Top Rank try to avoid Donaire at all cost and just hiding on their own reasons like doesn't want to work with Probellum, Donaire's promotion but in the past did they that.

After all, Nonito Donaire is still considered a threat in the Bantamweight even after being beaten by Naoya Inoue as the Japanese are really on the highest level at 118 lbs and no one can beat this guy. Top Rank once again spoiled another big fight in the Bantamweight as they clearly ducked their boxer, Jason Moloney to fight the old Donaire who still has the speed and strength.

I hope that Donaire will win the fight and claim the WBC title in order for the boxing council to somehow mandate title defense against top-ranked boxer in their list and that includes Jason Moloney. Top Rank will surely be forced to accept the deal. But the longer they are doing delays, the older Donaire is getting to.

Not sure though mate that is going to happen, Jason Moloney now targets the WBO belt and he has been dropped by the WBC in their rankings (maybe this is because he refused to fight Donaire).

But who knows, maybe if Donaire get the majority of the belts and then only the WBO belt is missing, then maybe a unification fight is inevitable. So let's see, Donaire has a few more fights in him, at least if he wins he should aim for another belt in this division.

For now, that's not going to happen because both mentioned boxers are campaigning for a different belt, WBO for Moloney and WBC for Donaire but yes, maybe in the future, fate will make these two boxers collide with each other so that we can see who's who and which is which. But it's worth to note that Moloney declined the WBC's offer because he is facing Donaire, so that already means something and maybe he will duck again sometime soon until Donaire will retire.

In fact LeBron James is injured, and will be sidelined, this is terrible for the Lakers, as LJ is the team's guide.
But I saw on a website that LeBron James could play again, even though he was injured, he could participate in regular season games to help the Lakers.
LeBron does not need to undergo surgery, so most likely, he will be back soon, as his team really needs him.
Yes, it doesn't require any surgery as it's not that actually serious to undergo in any medical operation but his injury which is a tendon injury in his right foot is also a serious one. The Lakers will re-evaluate him again in the next 3 weeks and given that time frame, LeBron might not be back to finish the rest of the games in regular season.

Well, regarding the Lakers x Timberwolves game, it was extremely clear that AD is an excellent player, even though he was playing without LJ, he managed to play his basketball and help the team significantly.
Schroder wasn't able to score like in the previous games, but on the other hand, Schroder had 12 assists, most of which went to AD.

Look, I believe that without LJ the Lakers are unlikely to make the playoffs.
But for the team to get a seed, AD and especially the other players will have to play extremely well to fill the absence of LJ
Yes, AD is unstoppable, but the Lakers cannot rely too much on him, as that will only put him in an injury-prone situation again. Without LeBron, this team will not make it to the playoffs, but once he is back, I think there's still a chance, as they have been playing well so far since Westbrook got traded. It's just sad that LeBron has been out for a while.
I guess that is the predicament they are facing right now because if they rely heavily on AD, he might get injured in the long run and their efforts will be in vain even if they manage to qualify for the play-in. What they have to do is to divide the load, not that equally but just help AD from carrying the team and that means that they should step up their game.

No offense mate, but if you can manage to be right 85% of the time on a long-term time frame, then you should be a billionaire by now. It might've worked in a short-term time frame, but don't immediately get too cocky that it will work well in a long-term time frame.
this strategy worked for me on btc/usdt, binance , tradingview
with that specific indicator
may not work for you
i just sharing if anyone try and get profit from it

Might it work with you mate but never expect this could work for others. Though sharing helps others to gain ideas and strategies but thinking to have the same results because you did it so well, I don't think so. Why? It is because it varies in decision-making and much more if we also get influenced by our emotions.

I appreciate how you did it well and I was thinking you are now a billionaire as mk4 said. However, I don't think it works consistently knowing that the market had also changed. Might it work today or tomorrow but not in the months from now?
1004  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you have any financial regrets ? on: March 03, 2023, 11:15:42 AM
I also have financial regrets. and of course the regret resulted from my mistake drowning in greed. However, from this regret, I learned a valuable lesson that led me to a better financial life. so I am more careful in all financial matters. because I don't want to fall in the same hole. and almost everyone also learns from mistakes due to mistakes in the past. So all we need to do is keep moving forward. and make the past a lesson so you don't repeat the same mistakes.
Yes, don't be someone who falls into the same hole, I want to emphasize that. Because a person who falls into the same hole in my opinion is a very stupid person, because he knows that it will harm him but he still does it, isn't that a stupid thing? Maybe my words are too harsh, but that's what I want to say.
We could have made another mistake because of our ignorance, but if it is a mistake we have already made then that is a very bad thing.
But I'd say not, because some people will try and think if they can do it but yes, not all go differently, some just fall like others.
However, this is not the regretful part I see, but being afraid to take risks is even more regretful. We can learn more if we are always afraid to lose and we never succeed if we are afraid to fail. Might we fail today and lose our money but that also serves as a lesson for the next attempt. Because it never works smoothly, it went hard earlier but it eventually change as we keep going.

I've also got an eye out for LA Clippers -3.5 vs Golden State Warriors, LA Clippers look really good the departure of Reggie Jackson and addition of Russell Westbrook have made them a really better team, and according to reports it's seems he's going to be among the starting five for Clippers tonight... I've also got a Props on him to make Over 7.5 assist tonight.

GL!

We have the same bet. I like the Clippers, as I was hoping for a big bounce back, and they are a healthy team compared to the Warriors who have been missing Curry for many games already. Unfortunately, it's not our night because the Clippers only gave us hope in the first half but forgot to play at a high level of competition in the second half.
I made the same bet because I was thinking that the Clippers were going to end their losing streak. And the fact that they were listed as the favorite to win, most of us were convinced they would do well on the road and beat the undermanned Golden State Warriors. Klay Thompson played well, but it was really Poole who brought the energy to spark a good run. The entire team was playing well at that point.

I now realized that we should never underestimate the Warriors, they have the heart of a champion.

You should never underestimate them as they had proven it already having an outstanding home win-loss record.
1006  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Emotion and Trade? on: March 02, 2023, 01:28:19 PM
I guess for someone to call him or her self a trader you need to control your emotions right, now after having that emotion in control and other basic things a trader should know you have all under control and still loss more then getting profit.

*What else is required for such a person to control,is it still his or her emotions or what next?

*And what will be your advice to a person in that position or state and what kind of trader are you going to call such a person?
Emotions can be found normal to human beings, which is why we are more special than these trading bots.
if we think that controlling our emotions could make us more profitable, well, that is exemptional. Although we can say that emotions can ruin our plan, and can cause major losses, however, it also creates a positive impact as this could sometimes save us from losing more.

There is no need to become emotionless from trading, we are not robots but of course, never let our emotions control us and make decisions. We at least know what is right and what is wrong, and we do respond to the market with emotions but with deep thinking.
1007  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you still hunt for airdrops? on: March 02, 2023, 12:57:40 PM
Airdrop hunting is no longer lucrative and I'll consider it as a waste of time and effort. Secondly, there's a risk of loosing your information to the wrong person's as those information could serve as a tool for hacking or luring you to be hacked. I'll prefer to stay away from airdrops as they no longer worth the time, effort, and risk.
Season of earning massive profits via airdrop is gone and I don't think such an opportunity would unveil itself again, then most of the new projects distribute their tokens reaned via airdrops apart from tokens earned from bounty hunting once those  tokens got listed in exchange definitely there are reasonable and valuable rewards for the holders, but now 99% of airdrops is worthless and waste of time as matter of fact some developers require some ETH in exchange for airdrop token, personally I had diverted my attention to other ventures.
It was never found reasonable to join airdrops at this time. I'd see huge changes happen compared to 5 years ago when most of us are getting crazy participating in them but for now, they are rejected knowing the fact that they are scams. Might some airdrops be true to their promise, yes they give tokens to the participants but too unfortunately still can sell them as they are not yet listed on any exchanges. Still useless and indeed a waste of time.
1008  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: March 02, 2023, 10:40:42 AM
They need to play with high consistency, as the competition in the West is getting tighter now that Durant and Irving are playing for their respective teams. As of now, they are ranked number 12 but still very close to rank 4, so every game matters for a team that doesn't have a secure ranking.
Quote
And of course, no player can get any injury, especially LeBron or AD
I'm more concern on AD.
Exactly, that's the word, consistency!
 
I believe all the Lakers players will do anything to win, but the trick is that, as they are playing as much as they can, there could be a possibility that some player will be injured.
Darvin Ham will have to carry out a great administration and manage to rotate the players, so that they are not overloaded.

Well, in my humble opinion I believe the Lakers will reach the playoffs in this season, maybe get a 7 seed or 8 seed.

It was a great start for the Lakers winning without Davis and LeBron. Schroder led the team in scoring with 26 points, and I believe this guy really deserves a good contract as he is a true definition of consistency. Although OKC is not a top team, they are still a good team. That's why I said it was a big win for the Lakers.
1009  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Tank Davis vs. Ryan Garcia betting and discussion (May, 2023) on: March 02, 2023, 08:57:06 AM
Boxing now is business, and so there is the ego of most boxers as well, it's a combat sports so what do you expect for this fighters? Specially in an era wherein we are in the social media and so boxers like Ryan loves to express themselves out and let everyone know through their official social media accounts.

But what's important is that they have hurdled everything including the rematch clause.

So yes, let's see if Ryan can have that rematch or Davis winning the first fight is enough for the fans not to clamor a second fight.
Yeah, they saw how effective the exhibition matches are when it comes to pulling more viewers, and now they are using the same strategy by keeping all the details first and letting it explode somewhere near the match will happen. More dramas first, two boxers fighting in social media before they use their fist in the ring. It's just like marinating the meat first. Somehow, it's working. They obviously want the fans to be involved first before they make the decision to let the news out.
Anyway, I am still on Tank Davis' side here and I sure will bet for him.

As far as I know though, this has been in the making for many years, 2 years ago, Ryan shows in Mike Tyson podcast and they call out Tank Davis and I think this is the start of the war of words between this two so the point that Ryan took this as a personal crusade for him.

And when we thought that this fight is not going to happen because of Davis case and the rematch clause and what not, unless Ryan has settled it everything even though is he is the short end of the bargaining of the rematch.

The good thing is that it's going to happen this year. Forget about the past and thanks to Ryan Garcia's constant challenge to Tank Davis, he finally has a chance to fight him. He should not worry about whatever rematch clause is in the contract - what he needs to do now is work hard to ensure a win, and everything else will certainly follow.
1010  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: March 02, 2023, 08:22:49 AM
"Demolition Man" or "Lakay". Whatever you wanted to call him, but Danny Ildefonso is coming out of retirement, and will be playing on the Converge FiberXers as their 15th player: https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/danny-ildefonso-comes-out-of-retirement-suits-up-for-converge-a793-20230302?ref=home_featured_big

I mean, many are surprised with this move by Converge knowing he is already 46 years old, but it just shows that if a player whether old or young can still play, if possible give them an opportunity to play. Congrats to "Lakay".


I'm also surprised by this news because I thought he was already too old to come back and play for a team.

However, he looks fit and I don't want to conclude that he will not do well for the team. The fact that he's coming back makes me expect that the coaching staff will give him quality minutes so he can help the team on the court. I can't wait to see this - it's my first time seeing a PBA player who is already 46 years old and still active.
1011  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can Bitcoin be trusted? on: March 01, 2023, 12:57:43 PM
A friend of mine came to me and we were having a conversation and I was trying to introduce he to the forum,but he turns out that I was asked if I really trust and believe in bitcoin it will never crash like other cypto industry.

I want know if it will not crash and I need help to convince him about it that it will not crash because am a beginner and I haven't know much about bitcoin so I guess been here I will fine help to assist my friend to join the forum.
I don't think you should force them to join this forum to know all about bitcoin, I know your intentions are very good in this regard but it is not your obligation to insist that your beliefs are correct in this context. The thing that I think is the smartest in telling him you have to have a better life than those who reject bitcoin in him, I think they will come naturally and be interested in what you do in your process so that it reaches the point that person expects.
Speaking of context, everything will definitely have a crash, be it stocks, precious metals and others and as we can see bitcoin crashes several times and in the end it returns to its highest position and even makes the latest ATH in each of its cycles.
Perhaps, it was wrong to urge someone to learn about Bitcoin but rather wait until such time comes for their interest. Besides, it was hard to educate a person who already has been negative about Bitcoin and much harder to convince to trust Bitcoin if they already suffered losses or got scammed. This is the reason why I don't talk about Bitcoin to any of my friends unless they will ask, unless they have curiosity and are willing to listen.
1012  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is trading good for beginners? on: March 01, 2023, 12:28:32 PM
My question is can someone that doesn't have any knowledge about trading and how the system work can he or she trade and be profitable in it?
If beginner means he has no knowledge about trading, he does not know how to do chart analysis, he only knows that trading can earn profit then trading will never be profitable for this beginner traders. Yes it's also true that some times it can bring profit and it will not be long sustainable at the end of the day he will face loss with his entire fund.
I wanna also say that this kind of trading is gambling not the part of trading. So even if you wanna become a beginner trader, you must first acquire minimum knowledge of how to read candles otherwise it will never be good for you. And I think it is better to start trading without taking a big fund go with small fund for the beginning with also the knowledge.

A beginner luck might happened but along the way, without real knowledge with the business he will be out of luck and start losing his investment, beginners should start the right way by doing research and investing time to understand how the market works and what are the things that he needed to know before making his first attempt to trade.

It's important that you have the glimpse on how things may proceed and you know how to work your way to succeed.
Well, in the first place, we don't have to rely on luck but rather rely on our capabilities. Having knowledge of something we have to do is simply the ticket to where we want to go (success).
As a newbie to trading, we can expect tragic losses and disappointments and that is because we don't have experience but have no knowledge at least knowing the basics is somewhat terrible. And we can expect the worse possible scenario. That is why I encourage newbies to never underestimate trading instead, make themselves prepared before trading.
1013  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The best time to buy bitcoin. on: February 28, 2023, 09:40:03 PM
But buying bitcoin at too high a price will not bring great profit, and your holding period will last longer than others. I think the perfect time to buy bitcoin is when we're in bear season, such as now is a great time to buy bitcoin, as long as the price is still below the old ATH, then it is always time to buy it. But when entering the bull season and bitcoin surpasses the old ATH, it is not a good idea to buy bitcoin, wait for bitcoin to correct for a good price.
And regrettably that is the moment when many newbies decide to invest as they are victims of FOMO, they take a look at the profits other investors are making and they want the same for themselves, but they forget that those that obtain the most benefits out of bitcoin are the ones that are willing to take a risk and invest when bitcoin is going down and near its bottom, and when those newbies invest in the market it is too late and instead of getting the profits they were looking for they will lose money as it is way more likely for the price of bitcoin to begin to go down at that point.
Well, the truth is that not all investors who bought at a cheap price make money. Why? Because they also sell them when crises come and dump their Bitcoin because they are worried that it will collapse. Indeed, most of these new investors had come having no idea about crypto and about the risk they had to face entering the market because what they only had in their mind is earning a profit easily and quickly. Unfortunately, when the hard time comes they got panic and make the wrong decision.
1014  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [POLL] Using AI to predict outcomes on: February 28, 2023, 11:18:48 AM
I can use AI to write articles, generate emails, make social posts and copies, and even double-check those since AI is not always right. How could I put my money at risk based on a decision made only by AI? Doesn't really sound wise to me for now.
ChatGPT cannot provide the latest information; hence, it cannot be used to predict present sporting events. You cannot get information from this AI. Instead, make your own analysis to predict the outcome of sports events. That's how normal sports bettors do it. There are no shortcuts to winning in sports, just hard work and dedication, and of course, being smart.
Making your own analysis to make choices in sports betting will be better than using AI for now. But I think with the development of AI by developers, someday AI will evolve into a better form than now. We may not be able to depend on AI to find information about each match and choose a team to place the bet. I am curious about what this AI technology will be like in the future because it seems that it will be interesting to see later, especially if applied in everyday human life and helping our activities.
I don't expect there to be an AI that can predict the future or the outcome of a game, as their knowledge is only based on past information stored in the web. They don't have emotions, which are very vital in predicting the outcome of a game.

I understand that some people want to win consistently, but there is no AI that can provide that. We have to be realistic and understand this.
1015  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Alejandro Santiago for WBC bantamweight title on: February 28, 2023, 09:57:45 AM
Status wise I agree with you Donaire had proven himself and may probably consider as one of the legend that dominates the Bantamweight and below weight class.  But, age matters considering the same punching power and skill is involved.  If Santiago isn't as skill as Donaire then I can say Donaire has better chance of winning.

Age matters right but as I said, in Donaire's 39 years old he has impressive fight. He's 40 years right now and I don't see any difference that will change from 39 years to 40 years old. He will surely performed the same when he was 39 years old.

Not saying Santiago is really the super underdog but I don't see how he will against Donaire which is still good at his age.

If we talked about Donaire vs Moloney instead, I might see a possible win for Moloney even I will side to Donaire.

That's why this fight gives Donaire a great opportunity to become a champion again. He is up against an underdog, so most likely he will win and the media will again talk about his name. I'm predicting a KO win, as that kind of outcome gives the highest percentage of success for Donaire.

snip~
Probably not the exact same scenario but almost the same price trend, this has been the situation on many market like stocks and forex so I believe its also possible to see in cryptomarket the same picture even if its on a different level or different volatility. The demand and supply will always affect the market trend, the adoptions will also play a big role as cryptomarket is still not accepted by many while the economic growth also matter as we are about to rise from the pandemic downfall.
Everything could possibly change and all the said factors could trigger the market to look not the same. Maybe for some events, it looks the same but the entire year's performance could be really far different from what we have experienced in the past. And even thinking of $100k in the next ATH might not happen because a huge number of investors now are not having the same mindset as before. Well, that adoption is really a big contributor to the market changes.

Golden State Warriors - Minnesota Timberwolves - Minnesota Timberwolves @ 2.12 - Loss
- I underestimated the Warriors on this one that's why I lost. Cheesy

That's a bad decision. You cannot underestimate the Warriors, even without Curry, as long as they are playing at home. They have a very impressive home record, and that's the venue where Thompson's shooting is very efficient. The game was close overall, but the Warriors managed to win and cover the betting spread.
1018  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: February 27, 2023, 10:15:16 AM
So let's see if James can pull this one out again in history for him.

A big achievement this season for the Los Angeles Lakers is being made with that comeback win. According to the current season record, teams are 0-138 this season when trailing by 27+ points. Not just because of Lebron but Anthony Davis and their best role players and teammates do a great job.

However, that achievement will surely much make sense to celebrate if they will keep establishing more wins as they badly need it to even make it to the play-in tournament which is for now, still need a tough work to make it happened.


Well, it seems that the Lakers carved its name again into the history books and proved that their team can still be worth the trust even if it's already down by 27 points. That gap was really hard to comeback especially in this case that the gap ballooned that much in the 2nd half, it was sure hard for the Lakers but they still managed to do so. It was a team effort after all and not just LeBron James alone, now they're on their 3rd winning streak but the next five games will be much tougher for them.

That's a good sign that the Lakers have improved after that trade. They beat a good team, the Dallas Mavericks, so there's no reason they can't win against other tough teams. They are sharing the ball well, and LeBron does not have to carry his team; he just has to play his normal game. There's not much pressure on him, but they still win games because they follow the system.
1019  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: February 24, 2023, 11:57:16 AM

By the way, the spread before the game was -7.5, so looking at the game now, it will easily be covered.

It's good if you took that spread because the Philippines is leading by 12 points after the first half. The current betting spread for the Philippines is now -13.5, while the over/under is 178.5, which is way above the total before the game. I would like to wish you good luck on your bet, and I hope the Philippines will continue their good shooting in the second half.

Malonzo had 2 dunks that will be highlights of this game. He is very confident, and even though he only had good 3-point shooting in this game, it was actually the dunks that will be the highlights. I love how the Philippines played here; they shared the ball well, so I hope they continue that great chemistry when they go up against Jordan.

History repeats itself. Perhaps I was going to believe that but the things are difficult from a volatile market as it never have the path to where it going making us to think that this year is similar to 2019.

For some reason;
 - demand
 - adoptions
 - economic growth
 
These are the contributing factor that could affect the price movement of Bitcoin and to expect the same scenario is impossible, unless everythig was controlled by whales or someone that is capable of.
