If Williamson is back, then they have a high chance reaching the NBA playoffs than the Lakers.

Very high, they reach the playoffs last season even without Zion, they can do it again. The Lakers now are 0-3, bad start for them, so it's hard to trust that this roster will reach the playoffs when they are losing games they are suppose to win, I don't know if there's still hope for this team, but I think here should be a big changes that needs to be done, and that is trading WB.

Ring rust, everyone has to go to this. It's just a matter on how boxers are going to shake it off. And most likely, when Casimero's experience, he might likely start slow in this fight but eventually find his rhythm and this could end up to be a very good fight to watch as this could be war in his first fight at 122 lbs.

Nah, Casimero understands that a win here is his ticket for the next big fight, he was off for a while but he is still hungry for a win since he did not actually lose in a fight, he just got stripped with his belt which I believe he regretted his mistake. His comeback fight is something we should not miss to see if that fire in him is still there as he needed that to have a chance to face Inoue in the future.

Wow, I'm impressed with the performance of Phoenix, they are still dominating the game against ROS, so I think they'll continue their hot streak. Going to the 2nd game, it's SMB vs North Port, I know everyone is thinking SMB will win, but can they cover the handicap?

SMB is -5.5, is it a go or no?

It should be a go, sorry late response, LOL>

If you push that bet, you'll feel relaxed now because SMB is leading by 22 points. I think they will win tonight and Northport will continue to struggle. As long as you are betting on a good team like SMB, TNT, Magnolia, and Ginebra, you'll always feel confident to win.

Cryptocurrency investment has to do with risk, which is taken the highest risk is when investing in initial coin offering (ICO) at that point anything can happen in time's, which has not come any exchange. And not all project that end up as scammed, take the risk and invest, after taking research.
I remember these ICO days when many people got a good profit from joining them but their time was over already. I have already been skeptical of new ICO these days knowing that most of them are scams, even IEO. Well, research is the best way to avoid losses due to investing in fake/scam projects but most of all, we also have to know how to control our greed as we see that many new projects are offering huge rewards when investing in them. This is one reason why we still fall into their traps despite the thing that we know it was a scam but somewhat we have been pushed by our greediness.

Jalen Green vs Jordan Clarkson, the Filipino superstars played and Jalen Green won the battle stopping the win streak of the Jazz. I can see that Jalen Green is having a great season so far, his stats are already a stats of superstar, hopefully, he can always be consistent so he has a chance of being a good candidate for regular season MVP.
1286  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Vasiliy Lomachenko vs Jamaine Ortiz - October 29 on: October 25, 2022, 12:33:55 PM
Speaking of Loma, he has been vocal about Tank Davis and he said that Tank needs to face tough opponent so that he can be recognized. I think we all agree to that, he just face Isaac Cruz and then Rolly Romero in his last 2 fights and not all of us are familiar with that name. And also Loma praises Shakur, and admit that they have sparred in the past at 126-130 but admit that Stevenson is very different now as he is bigger and poise to make it to 135 lbs and which he is trying to get all his belt back. And if Loma wins here, we expect a fight between him and Haney next year and that will be big. As for Ortiz, even if he losses this fight, this is still a good experience to put under his belt and he could be a champion later down the road.


The expectations from the fans really into the side of Loma, knowing that he's on a mission to bring down Haney after this fight, chasing for the belt and regaining the hype will bring loma more money fight. Still too early for conclusion, but the upper hand and the favorite already been eyed to Loma, it's more on Ortiz exposure and how he will try to upset the heavy favorite.

We might see a more interesting fight once Loma starts winning. Fans will love to see him holding the belt as they will expect
more challenger to chase fighting him.

It's already interesting seeing Loma vs Haney, so let's hope that Loma will win this fight as he has not fought a real champion since he got defeated by Lopez. It's his comeback fight, a win is a must for him to face Haney, otherwise, he has to start over again which we don't want to see.
1287  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: October 24, 2022, 11:48:40 AM
Maybe it is a mistake that Crawford is a free agent. He thought that without Bob Arum and ESPN this fight is going to happen easily. He thought that without a promoter and a network to lean on he can be treated well and receives a fair deal.

That makes sense to believe and I agree with you. Even Bob Arum was being seen as protecting his cash cow, without his influence and reputation, his boxers might end up in a small and not-that-impressive fights contract. Bob Arum is specialized in organizing fights that even if it's between a famous and not, the fight will be sold and hyped.

I don't know if Crawford and Spence will still face each other but as long as they continue winning their fights, the possibility is always there.

So do you really believe that it's because he is a free agent?

When did Crawford become a free agent? I think he already had fights even if he is already a free agent, so I think that is not really the problem, I guess the real problem here is the other side which is probably Spence who is avoiding this fight to happen.

Another game , another defeat for Lakers and another awful game for Westbrook. This dude has lost his passion for basketball and it drags the entire draft down with him that at this point the entire Lakers squad should be really worries about this season performance because it doesn't look good no matter from what angle you look on them. Sad
What can you expect from Westbrook, he was already struggling, it will not change right away.
The best thing to do by the Lakers to him is just to trade him, they should also consider the current performance of Westbrook so they'll not be too demanding.

Meanwhile , Pelicans lost their first game on ET but Jazz had some great team plays last night and a clutch trow.

Tonight : Bulls vs Celtics should be the game of the night and I'm leaning towards a close game and Bulls victory.

Jazz definitely played with great chemistry, no superstar, no problem as everyone is doing their job well.
1289  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: October 21, 2022, 01:36:25 PM
Westbrock had 2 points in 23 minutes ? What a joke. How can they allow this ? They are being paid with millions and he cannot trow and make some buckets ? I think the problems in Lakers teams are going deeper between them and I think the only solution for this team to move on , is to let some players to leave as soon as possible because if they stay in this format , play-offs are a very hard achievement.

Not sure how to answer your question, but yeah, Westbrook is not really looking good with the Lakers since he joined them. I guess there are too many alphas on Lakers.

Both good games last night, Giannis still showing his form against the Sixers and almost got a triple double.

While the Clippers looks sharp against the Lakers although there are some moments that the Lakers took the lead.

Another disappointing performance from WB and for sure more criticism against him not just from Lakers fans but more on the side
of those people who already giving him a no even before joining the Lakers.

That sentiment of earning a huge amount of money is valid, 2 points is not really acceptable especially if the team is throwing huge
amount of money for your service.

Comparing the game today, even it's another loss but it's much better they show good defense just lacking with good rotations to
find a closer and much open shot.

2 points in the whole game, which was really disappointing, that Mr. Triple Double is already gone.

Look at his shooting,  0-11 FGM-A, is that for real?

Man, I'm telling you, Westbrook might become a bigger problem as the season goes on, they should consider trading him, he simply does not fit on the system of the LA Lakers.
1290  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Most of the Tokens are traded on small Exchanges, Is it Good or Scam on: October 21, 2022, 11:56:31 AM
Well, the fact that most new coins are listed in new exchanges or small exchanges. But, it doesn't mean it was a scam until proven. However, if we talk about questionable exchanges and we have to be careful with this because even investind and trading potential coins like Bitcoin is highly at risk.
We should have to consider these two things, (a) the exchange and (b) the coin...

I alwasy check the reputation of the exchange and the project as well before I conclude it was a scam or not.
1291  Economy / Economics / Re: Crypto Currency should be Integrated into School Curriculum on: October 21, 2022, 11:19:26 AM

but the problem is that I still see that the teaching staff in schools today are not all literate with current technological advances. even the teachers in schools who use crypto I think there are still few. so it is not yet possible for those teachers in schools to teach about cryptocurrencies. but maybe the next generation of teachers, namely generation Z, so I think discussing crypto at school will make sense to be included in school lessons. because the next generation of teachers must be more than those who are familiar with crypto and have even entered it. so it's a matter of time.
Perhaps, they can learn over time as well. And if the time will come that crypto is pushed through to teach in school, I believe they have also hired someone capable enough to teach students. It is only hard at the start but once there is continued learning and research, and teachers look at the market in a positive way, it becomes easy for them to understand. I think it needs constant training, it can't be done in one day, not even in 1 week. So, it was their responsibility how to do it in order to become effective.

For me, it’s now or never, as we can’t afford anymore to miss the train while there are huge opportunities to own and store bitcoin now.

Enjoyed reading the writing made by the author. Whatever predictions are written from sources I hope can happen. But if we look at a lot of news that it is likely that 2023 is a difficult year due to the state of the global economy and the rise in bank interest rates increases. This gives the world a chance of a major recession. According to the sources I have read at the moment, there have been many Banks that interest-rate increases. Meanwhile, economic growth is moving slowly.
If you think about it logically, If a recession really occurs, will the Halving period of 2024 still make prices increase? The reason is that many investors are afraid to enter crypto, investors choose to keep USD, so there is no large enough flow of money to crypto.

Source: https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-release/2022/09/15/risk-of-global-recession-in-2023-rises-amid-simultaneous-rate-hikes
it is logical to understand that the banks are really competing with crypto in order for them to keep alive. Their aggressive movement creates another market impact in terms of volume but I wasn't thinking that investors choose to keep USD and are afraid of crypto. It was just the time for the recession has come and many investors stop investing in Bitcoin as they are waiting for the recovery. This is also what we have seen in the last bear season, huge market demand comes during the bull season, and probably the same scenario we're able to see again.
1293  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: October 20, 2022, 11:36:43 AM
I think that Damion Lee was the secret hero of the Suns - Mavericks game despite having only 11 points. Because he played a big role in the win by his contributions to his team in the last moments. He scored important points and his defending Luka Doncic in the last seconds was also important.


He was huge in that game but defensively he cannot stop Luka, let's not overreact though, it's just only one game, he had some big contributions but we are looking for some consistency here, I just like how his teammates trusted him, he should be happy to with his new team now.

Dallas up by 21 points I guess, they gave up that big win, typical Dallas, still hasn't change.
1294  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you use crypto trading robots? on: October 20, 2022, 11:28:00 AM
I'm going to say that I've never tried it but hoping it can be done soon when I see reliable bots. But as long as I have enough time to check the market, have enough time to face the computer, and do trading, I can't afford to do it. Maybe there is the right time to do this, using bots, but as we are still learning, it was good advice not to try this instead, make ourselves do it personally. Because bots are still reliant to us, if we don't have knowledge in trading, never we expect this will function its one and results positive.
1295  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to Generate Profit in this bear time? on: October 19, 2022, 03:12:08 PM
If you expect daily profit in some crypto market, then it is nothing but stupidity. You have to sit patiently in the market and understand the time-opportunity to take entry and then the profit should be exited and increase because the market fluctuates a lot and so easily one can profit from this market. Can't, so if you want to profit by trading in this market, you must be patient and complete all tasks on time
it was not stupid, it was just a wrong expectation from a bear market condition. Because even day traders have found it difficult but at least they have found a way to survive despite the situation and possible losses. In this current market situation, we can't expect a lot from the market but rather accept the reality that not all the time we are profiting and I think, many people have missed noticing it.
If we are a trader - continue trading
if we are an investor - continue buying and holding
1296  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Another example is how greed destroy crypto investors. on: October 19, 2022, 02:35:10 PM
make your strategy at the initial investments and always follow your strategy until you succesfully liquidated, your financial decision shouldn't be based from your emotion otherwise this kind of case gonna let you make really bad decision in your investments journey. I guess greedines is always the main reason that so many of us failing to get advantage of the market even though we know our investments already increasing in value.
Let's say it was the main reason why many people are losing but also this is a reason why people reach their goal because of their aggressive pursuit and greediness to reach their dream. Therefore, I'd say that greediness is bad if mismanage but if it is doing good and controlled, that absolutely a reason for our success. It fails because we fail to decide the right thing and many people got this.
1297  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Naoya Inoue vs Paul Butler - Undisputed Bantamweight Bout - December 13 on: October 19, 2022, 12:22:18 PM

I guess their unification fight will still happen and it's inevitable because both of them are looking forward to make their own respective legacy, although I think there will be some stalling first  and knowing Casimero, he might bark to lift the hype until their fight is official. It might be delayed but it won't last long.

If Inoue will move up, there are champions that he has to beat, Casimero is not a champ so he also needs to win more fights like Inoue's gonna do. I hope to see them fight together because Casimero has been challenging Inoue when he was still a champion, but Inoue just ignore the challenge and fight an old Donaire, I don't know if he is just playing safe or what.

They will have to make way up before fighting the champion. Although Inoue might have the easiest way because he organizations might give him a freeway since he is a champion after all. So maybe Inoue will have 1 fight in 122 lbs, just to test the weight and fighters at this natural weight and after that, he will be set up against the current champion in this division. As compare to Casimero which might have to work very hard just to get a rank in the super bantamweight.

Agree to that, In Inoue's case, he can or his promoters can negotiate with a title holder, while for Casimero, he needs to start from the scratch before he can challenge a belt holder.

Though we don't know if how both camps will negotiate and initiate the possible fight to happen
as the organization will not allow them to direct the deal from each other, they need to follow what
the organization will demand them to do, a process that both camps needs to comply.

That's the kind of liberty Inoue has, he is in the top 10 for the pound for pound ranking, so he's considered a tough challenger for any champion, and if the promoter of the champion would want to have a big fight that will also make them earn a lot of money, they should be ready fighting Inoue as Inoue is one of the most popular boxers now in the world.

However, for Casimero, it seems like he needs to do a hyping job again in order for him to gain the attention of the fans, and he should also consistently winning.
1298  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: October 19, 2022, 11:54:14 AM
I’m glad Chuck is defending Westbrook, who is having a great game. The Lakers just don’t play well together. They look a little better with Nunn and Beverly but they’re missing something. It just seems like they don’t really want to win.
So you heard that too during the halftime, but it seems his co-workers are not in agreement with him. I don't know.
There may be truth with what Chuck said about Westbrook not enjoying the game anymore because of the Lakers team.
That's not how he played during his OKC, Rockets, and Wizards career. The energy is gone and he keeps on making mistakes with simple plays.
One of them showed and it was actually a silly technical foul when he tapped Wiggins while making an inbound. Reggie Miller and Harlan even laughed at what he did after watching the replay.

Lakers is not happy with Westbrook anymore and also he don't like to be part of lakers anymore. Their conflict happen last season ruin already their relationship so its not really good to keep him up in the line up since for sure they will not get good chemistry in that set up. Maybe lakers should not demand more to get rid of Westbrook so that it will be fair for both parties to depart ways.

If the Lakers are not happy with him, why are they still keeping him? IMO, it doesn't make sense, they should already trade him and get someone who can help Lebron and Davis for their championship goal. It was still Lebron who are doing most of the contribution on that game, nice performance from him in a losing effort, but as a fan, we like to see them win, not Lebron making points to break the record.
1299  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Metaverse is the future on: October 18, 2022, 10:22:03 PM
New trends are coming and you need to learn and adapt to them fast, I believe metaverse have a very good future ahead of us, be careful when choosing your next metaverse projects and make sure the teams are not here to toy with investors and end up not delivering anything.

Founders and Developers of the projects must be talented no matter how much money they have or how much ambitions they got.

They gotta have the talent to pull it off and also they gotta have the financial resources to make it happen.

I am not here to tell you when to buy or which projects to buy, I am only saying you should make sure metaverse projects are part of your next crypto portfolio.
Perhaps, they are aggressive now, they are also conducting training and seminars in our country. I may say they are spreading more awareness to the community which could help to gain more attention and of course, interest. But, we can't assume this would lead to long-term success. Not saying it was impossible but due to continuous technology upgrades, the time has come this will also become obsolete. We consider this as a good investment by now but also, we need to be careful choosing them as there are a lot of metaverses that are scams.

You cant stop people on buying considering that in terms of diversification then altcoins would be the one of the options aside on getting all in with Bitcoin.
It do matters on someones self interest since not all would really be that having this kind of option.Speaking about bears and bulls then both are entirely
important and you cant call it a market if you cant really see these two.It does only depend on how long each trend would be lasting up
but on general sense which both things could really be seen on a market.
Bear and Bull season is somewhat what we called a market cycle and it adds interest to the market. We consider both of them have a different market roles as the bear market is for the accumulation period while the bull market is for the selling. And those who can understand and adapt to the situation will never complain but instead, they are happy doing this.

Let us say it was important but on the other hand, this is how the market looks like. In fact, this condition also exists in the stock market which I say it is normal.
