1621  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: PH banned online cockfighting - Worst gambling-related cases recorded! on: June 03, 2022, 10:25:31 AM
Yes, that was one of the reasons and that was stated on the news. Other reasons are already mentioned by the OP.

Poor families are not mostly that got heavily affected but people on the mid-range standards. Those poor are already poor and can't sustain e-sabong betting compare to the middle class which has a fixed source of income.

Those missing people up to now mostly came from well-off families. No progress about their status until now.

Maybe I missed something but how are cockfights related to kidnappings? This is probably a purely criminal problem, and even if it is related to gambling and betting on cockfights, legal cockfights and legal gambling business have nothing to do with crime. The authorities should destroy crime, and not its "light" consequences in the form of illegal gambling (in fact, this is a crime without victims).
Who is kidnapped? the gambler or the cock? Stealing the fighter cock is common but if you talking about the kidnapping of the person than this is very unusal.
There seems to be different rule for the poor while the law and rule for the rich is the same.

You might wanna read this news so you will have an idea about the kidnapping that we are also talking in this thread.

charged over missing 34 e-sabong enthusiasts

This was actually reached to the Senate for investigation.

Most of the match went head-to-head, but at the end of the match, Golden State Warriors were badly clogged. Boston won the first game by defending, attacking in the right places and playing really well, especially in the last quarter, they took the home advantage. Now Golden State has to win the second game at home and at least one away game. They made their job very difficult. They need to win the second game and recover, they don't have a choice.

Don't worry, Warriors will even the series in game 2. There's no way they will lose 2 games in a row at home, if they can't win by themselves, they should have the help of the refs as this series should not end in 4 games. I'll bet on the Warriors in game, putting my money on the spread.

Is buying bitcoin right now the same with buying later? I stopped buying because it looks like Bitcoin dips isn't over, imagine buying at 19k per Bitcoin, I think the whole idea of investment is when you are buying not running after the best coins in the market, buying them cheap is better or I don't get it?.
its not the same mate because you will end up losses even you keep adding when everytime the price of bitcoin is fluctuating, and it didn't make sense to be honest, wherein, much better to wait for the right time and don't be greedy to prevent losses.
Read some news instead and keep monitoring the market to get the right timing to buy, no need to rush when it comes buying be patient !
If I buy today doesn't mean that I am in a hurry but I don't want to lose the opportunity of buying Bitcoin at $30k (as for example) coz we are not sure what if the price of Bitcoin will suddenly pump unexpectedly. Could I blame other people for that? Not for sure and that was because we made our own decision.

If we could buy now, then there is no need to wait until later. Take the chance while the price of Bitcoin is quite cheaper, that was the best deal. We can't assume nor predict that it drops more by tomorrow or later.

The wrong thing that I've done in crypto and I consider this as my biggest mistake is when I bought shitcoins. I was thinking before that "if I bought cheap coins like them, I could make a huge profit". However, it was too unfortunate that even checking my wallet during the last halving and Bullrun, I'd never see it pump nor did I have the chance to sell them for they are not already yet listed to any exchanges.

The lesson I get is not to buy cheap coins anymore, they are already been disposed of that is why they are very cheap.
We have rather choose those pricey coins as we can assure for a profit and market potential.

But it might be different here as they have a great center as well in Horford and Williams. But it doesn't matter as the Warriors will surely adjust again.
Warriors also have a great center, Looney is just so underrated but this guy had some pretty double double in the last series or the WCF. They are a team that are good in making the adjustment, so I don't think they'll have some trouble with the defense of the Celtics or even on their advantage in the center position.
1626  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: June 02, 2022, 12:16:08 PM
So it's game 1 tomorrow night, for sure many are going to ride on the Warriors side because they have the tools to win the championship again.-3.5 is the opening line for them, but I a guess putting a bet higher for a better odds might not heard us.

So I'm going with the -4.5, current odds: 1.98.

Best of luck to all bettors,  Smiley

A -4.5 handicap on the Warriors side is not that bad along with its odds, for sure there will be a lot of bettors who will ride that spread and odds and of course that includes me Cheesy Though there are also bettors who believed that the Celtics will take the first win tomorrow but I think their chances are just slim because Game 1 will be played at the Warriors homecourt. Well, anyway, maybe that will happen. Good luck folks!

I'll take the Warriors at that odds, this is game 1 of the series, it's a must win by the Warriors and I think Celtics will be dominated by a good home team like the Warriors. They have to remember that Warriors ain't a one man or two man show.
1627  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Read this before you exit crypto space on: June 01, 2022, 10:28:59 PM
Before you decide to go away from crypto space simply because we are in a bear market I want you to know that some amazing stuffs was built in the last bear market, our so called Ethereum killers

1. Hedera  2. Solana. 3. Algorand.  4. Avalanche.

These projects came in the bear market, if you walk away now till next btc halving you will be missing a lot of future opportunities.
I'd never think of such a word as "Ethereum Killers", are they exist just for this? Apparently, it was not the reason for their existence Ava and Sol are performing well together with ETH and never I've found it helps to shutdown Ethereum.
However, I'd never find become reasonable to just think about leaving crypto misses a lot of opportunities as some people keep their distance from the market to just relax and to keep calm.
1628  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Learning from the dip on: June 01, 2022, 10:02:36 PM
I bought some coin recently believing I’m buying from the dip but to my surprise this just keep dipping. MY DIP HAS TURNED TO THE DIPPER, EVEN THE DIPPEST.
That is why we must be wise in using the money for investment in crypto, moreover during the dip market. Because we don't know when is the dip exactly, we don't know whether it is the actual dip or not. The way is by keeping and watching the market situation. If we are going to invest in certain coins, it can be done by buying step by step, so we are not all in. This is to face other dips.

That is why we keep ourselves prepared for what will happen next whether the market goes up or it drops more.
Putting our money in crypto is not I considered as high risk as long as we choose the right coins for investment. But if we choose to investment shitcoins like meme coins, you definitely have to start worrying now.

At this current market condition, we don't just be smart but have also to know how to extend our patience as well.
1629  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Ryan Garcia vs Javier Fortuna - July 19 on: June 01, 2022, 12:52:52 PM

Recently, I haven't heard about him getting into fights which makes it a disadvantage on his side because inactive player somehow means that he isn't also training well enough compared to other active boxers nowadays. Despite his numbers of match surpassing Garcia, I doubt he will be a crowd's favorite.

People think that Fortuna is just another tune up fight of Garcia, maybe it's true because Garcia is looking to fight Davis after this fight if he wins. I would not expect that Fortuna can upset Garcia here because it's obviously a cherry-pick fight by Garcia's camp.
1630  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your NBA Champion this season? on: June 01, 2022, 12:24:45 PM
Although GSW appears to be the favorite team in this final series, Celtics were able to win against the Heat after fierce matches and shows that they are not an easy opponent. There will be no easy matches in the final series and i think the Celtics can make a surprise.
Yes, they win against the Heat and that's what matters. However, Heat is now the same brand of the Warriors, the Warriors are more on a team play, they move the ball very well and not only that, their shooting and defense are way better than the Heat as well.
1631  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it a good time to start accepting BTC? on: May 31, 2022, 11:16:26 PM
If you believe in the real potentials of bitcoin, i think it will never be a wrong move to start accepting bitcoin either as a payment or from someone who knew you well.
Thinking that Bitcoin will recover and get bullish back again during the next halving, likely, it was the best time to start running a business accepting Bitcoin or potential altcoins like ETH and BNB. But, it was a big question if people are spending their Bitcoin this time knowing that they also holding their coins during the bear season. I think we don't just focus on accepting Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies alone but just consider this as another option.

1632  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Good for future hold? on: May 31, 2022, 10:53:09 PM
I don't see good reasons for HEX to be a long term investment. First, its certainly one of those pyramid schemes that you should never want to hold for long term and end up losing. They may be profitable but only for temporary reasons. Other than that, there's no long term utility case that keeps you wanting it, so better stick to bitcoin and established altcoins, they are more stable than HEX. Just keep doing DYOR so you'll never be misled.

A lot of new coins appear that is why it is necessary to monitor of the market to find new projects and evaluate their potential. It is necessary to carefully study the projects to evaluate its opportunities like this https://twitter.com/FibSwap/status/1515262917976936450
Research is literally necessary in the case that many projects are scammy and worthless. And that much more if it was been played hype and influence in social media like Twitter as many project developers use this platform to gain attention from the project that encourages people to invest but later on, they were gone.

That is more advisable to invest coins among the top 10 coins in the CMC with this current condition as they have such potential. We have to be aware of the huge risk accompanied by investing in new projects. 
1633  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Ryan Garcia vs Javier Fortuna - July 19 on: May 31, 2022, 01:02:03 PM
Again, I don't know about this opponent of his, I thought he is done with the tune-up, and now he has another tune-up fight? Well, if this is necessary before Garcia will face Davis, then I think I would just accept and watch this fight, I just love to see Garcia fighting Davis and I think I like his chances against Davis.
1634  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: May 31, 2022, 12:29:08 PM
Back to Inoue and Donaire, I don't have issues on how prepared is the latter. In fact, I believe that he's more than ready for this rematch now. But the real question is, can he defeat Inoue?

According to Donaire, he is confident that he can now take down and deal with Inoue.

Well, as for any boxers, if the question asked to them is about their status of the fight, they will surely answer that they are prepared.

From what I see of Donaire, he knows very well the strategy to beat Inoue but the question is, how he will apply those strategies in the actual fight as that wasn't easy to unleash without meeting some certain factors.

That's right, no boxer would say that he cannot beat his opponent, even the heavy underdog fighter would think that way. That's what we called confidence, but in the ring, it is the better fighter that will always win the fight and I think Donaire has a chance to upset the monster Inoue.
1635  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will the market rise in June on: May 30, 2022, 11:56:13 PM
I am sure that in June we will see at least a bounce, which may have already started. The market fall cannot be permanent and it has been falling for a long time without a bounce. Many indicators also show that bitcoin is heavily oversold right now. Also keep an eye on the stock markets, if the falls there stop, cryptocurrencies will surely bounce back.
You can't be sure of that unless there is a sort of fundamental basis that supports such recovery (at least). But for now, we don't hear any which means that it found to be hopeless, however, I don't also think that we gonna go deeper. What probably the scenario to see next month is just the same as what we have this May. The prices are still low and no signs of recovery but even though it still looks like that I wasn't worried about the future coz I'm sure this will soon get over.
1636  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: May 30, 2022, 03:19:41 PM
That was a heck of a game. Like watching the 80's.  Grin
Low scoring (didn't hit the over 197.5), brutal defense, and officials not calling fouls even when bodies falling on the floor. I can say I love that Game 7.
Also lost the Miami Heat ML bet but I enjoyed watching it pretty well.
No hates to the Butler 3-point decision. The team recognized he should take that shot and they like what he did. I bet no one will want to be in that position except him.
Cheers to the winners and to the Boston Celtics.

He takes it as a real star and even he missed that shot, everyone does support his decision. I will understand if there are people who

will criticize that act, but he's the main man, and he has that capability to make that shot, just not lucky enough, but it's a good shot free enough

not being bothered by the defense. It's for the Boston and they will advance to the finals to meet the Warriors.

Time for another series to watch and place our bets..

Yes, we are in the NBA Finals now, let's appreciate the effort of both teams, especially the heat because they never gave up, they fight until the end, it's just that the luck was not with them in that game. Warriors vs Celtics are destined to face in the NBA Finals, so yeah, let's start betting.

And for me, this is a better series compared to the Warriors/Heat. it's going to be an offensive battle as both teams love to shoot from the outside. I think  Wiggins will be having a hard time guarding Tatum here or Draymond might also help on the defense. I hope Looney will not change, he will have a tough match up inside, so let's see if he can continue his great performance in the WCF.
1637  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season - Finals on: May 30, 2022, 02:56:43 PM
Boston Celtics made it to the finals years later, and they did it as a team. There is not a single superstar in the team, there are many good players and team plays. The 7-man rotation gives really good results. They deserved to reach the final.
Golden State Warriors, on the other hand, is a team accustomed to the finals. They will play the final again. It's a matter of curiosity how they will perform in the post-Durant period. Let's see if Curry and Thompson can carry the team.

Celtics really deserved this Finals appearance. However, they're most likely to be the underdog in terms of experience. Curry, Thompson, and Green literally lived in the Finals from the last 5-6 years. They just skipped 2 finals appearances when they're unhealthy. The experience is really a huge factor in a finals match up. Look at how the Celtics carelessly let the Heat cut the 10 point lead in the final minute of game 7 coz they are rushing and so excited to win the series. They should be more careful with facing the Warriors as they are not like the Heat who shoots poor % from beyond the arc.

I agree with you, they can't afford to commit mistakes against the Warriors because they are a great team, they are a good shooter and good in defense as well. When Heat only relied on Butler, this team Warriors is different because they have Klay, Curry, and now Poole, they are good 3 point shooters, and of course Wiggins has joined the party.
1638  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Have you saved your bitcoins in multiple wallets? on: May 27, 2022, 02:16:24 PM
For now I have saved my Bitcoin in the hardware wallet. But since I have more than one hardware wallet, I am planning to save it to another one in case I have accumulated a decent or big amount of it. And yes I agree that we should never put all of our eggs in one basket, even if it’s a hardware wallet. We should be always prepared for any circumstances later regarding our BTCs.
That is the thing we are supposed to do as we don't know if we are the next target of these hackers. A sort of market anticipation and fund security seems to be our top priority just to give no way of these hackers to succeed in their evil works that actually become rampant nowadays. But I think this was not just the thing we do, we also have to be more careful in using our PC/laptop when accessing our hardware wallet, we leave no trace for these people as every single mistake we made, that will be their chance.
1639  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Smart decision I made toward the end of the bull run on: May 27, 2022, 01:30:07 PM
I converted all all my altcoins to btc and eth and solona and stop listen to youtubers.
The youtubers can ruin your life. make your own decision and you will be fine.
This is relevant for me.
Many had failed and blame themselves, and even regretting because of the wrong decision been made. Yeah, this is very common for those people who come in a hurry. It was found to be more relevant to anticipate the market decline than to be a greedy holder looking for more profit. Likely, if you miss the chance of selling your coins to Bitcoin, I'm very certain you are also doing this (blaming).

You are not just doing it smart, but what you did is an independent decision, and it was great.
1640  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: May 27, 2022, 12:27:31 PM


The current NBA champion betting odds.

I still believe that the eastern conference winner will take home the Larry O'Brien Trophy. Unless there are major changes like game suspensions and injuries barring vital players from competing. I am actually more concerned if Jimmy Butler's previous poor performance was due to his knee getting worse. At least Boston Celtics duo are still in their mid 20s and are healthy. Marcus Smart might is questionable though. Maybe they will rest him since Boston already beat Miami without him. Marcus Smart will be key in shutting down GSW's superb offense. If Boston ends the eastern finals in game 6, they will be expected to become favorite to win the finals. 



Boston has a bigger roster of players that can score and have a lot more good shooters other then Tatum so this is a huge advantage for them. Miami cannot play without a good Jimmy Butler on the floor and that was seen in the previous games. So expecting Celtics in the final

That's the problem with the Heat, with Butler they will surely struggle. Also, I don't expect that Butler will suddenly turn an old Butler prior to injury in game 6, the preparation is too short and of course, we also have to consider if Herro will play or not as he is a big loss if he will not play again.

Good luck in game 6 guys, I hope you carefully choose your bet because it could be the last game in the ECF.
Celtics may win but may not cover, that could possibly happen.
