1341  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Stephen Fulton vs. Naoya Inoue - WBC and WBO 122 lbs bout - May on: January 28, 2023, 01:11:04 PM

On the contrary, I think Inoue has face a lot of great boxers, so not sure what Fulton can offer in this fight that Inoue hasn't seen in my opinion. No doubt that Fulton is good, but the power of Inoue will be too much for him specially that Inoue will added 4 pounds in his frame.

It might be the Fulton be the bigger guy if this is his weight, but Inoue's combination of power and speed will give anyone a problem here.

I wanted to see Fulton vs Figueroa 2 as well because the fight one is really close.

Fulton will regret this fight, none of his opponents of Inoue in the past has not gone down because of his power, so I don't think Fulton will be an exception, especially since Inoue is making his debut in the super bantamweight division, he will make sure that he will again have an impressive win.

Getting that point with Williams, it's true that each season he always have his drama maybe he's idolizing Kyrie, and he's doing the same pattern as how Kyrie is acting from NBA, but kidding aside, if he will continue acting like that and with coach Jolas it will be tough between the two, just hoping that they will be both act as pro and set the problem outside the court.

They've got a good start with a 2-0 on their team, but they will be tested once facing the SMC franchise. We all know that competition will start when super teams are against another super team.

TNT always have a good start and consider as one of the contender every season, its just that they are not consistent and missed a lot of opportunities already. With their current standing, its too early to celebrate because they should play their best on every game if they really want to be back in the finals again. Playing against SMC will be a big one for them, early on this conference and they have to play well and stop that drama focus more on their passing and shooting.

Actually, the most inconsistent of the team is Mikey Williams. He is now playing like a superstar but comes the playoffs, that will not be seen consistently and that will make their team fail again. Of course, they have to stop the drama, let them play and be professionals because this line up is capable of winning a championship again.

Other than the profit target, I really don't think there will be a 2nd reason why people enter this market. There are a lot of profitable markets like stocks or forex, but cryptocurrencies are more profitable, and I think that's why we are here.
Nobody will stay in the market if they can get nothing but because of their good experience, they decide not to leave but to keep on risking.
Some leave the stock market because of the government's influence and also huge taxes and they found crypto as their savior by paying it.

Quote
Many people say they are here for the technology, for the crypto revolution, but I really don't believe it because if it's not in their favor, they won't waste time or risk money with it. Nowadays, people live very pragmatically, if there is no benefit, they will not participate.
That is a big lie...
Earning a huge profit and becoming instant rich - all of these things make people come and risks. Perhaps, it was a motivating factor but everyone must know the reality that crypto investment is not like that.

In spite of the fact that Bitcoin is the best option on the market, many newbies still find a way to ignore it because they believe that it cannot give them big profits, which is a common mistake that newbies seem to make among themselves. But with Ethereum option is also a good choice, as long as we should only invest in bitcoin or Ethereum and stay away from all other shitcoins, our investment will be safe too.

Although many say that ETH is no longer safe once it has moved to POS, I still believe that there will be no altcoin that can replace it, it will always be the queen of altcoins and will always stand by bitcoin.
It seems this is going to be the case for the foreseeable future, just as there were many coins over the years that claimed they were going to replace bitcoin and they all failed, we have seen the exact same thing happening with ethereum, countless projects have appeared over the years that were supposed to kill ethereum, and since they have all failed then it is safe to assume that if at some point ethereum were to collapse it would not be because of another coin but because of internal factors.
This is going to accept the fact that no other coins can replace ETH.
It means that ETH is dominating among altcoins and no matter how tough the market competition today and in the future, ETH will still win.
Might the fees be too high which most traders don't like but I still see huge support from the community making this project will remain strong despite the negative news and feedback that we heard. In fact, it turns down after moving from POW to POS system but fortunately, it rises back together with Bitcoin.

Risks are a bit high for beginners in futures trading therefore learn and then move on futures trading allows you to profit from short term price changes in both directions. Even if the price of bitcoin falls, you can profit by participating in the downtrend as the price falls. Futures trading can also be used to hedge against unexpected risks and price extremes, making them ideal for minor and long term investors.
All we need is to focus on our doing and tried to build up some confidence in doing this like improving our knowledge and discovering new strategies.
And to become successful in Futures Trading, we have to start by mastering the nature of the market. Having a long trading experience could give us more knowledge and would able to give precise decisions.
But I would say also that if we are not ready to face the higher risk and bigger responsibility, we better choose spot trading as starting experience until we are ready to step forward and try Futures Trading.

Don't know what's wrong with Poole but likely he's trying to prove he is good or just showing off, too bad for Curry to be triggered like that. I think he should behave more old on his seniors because this isn't the first time he did this kind of attitude.
Showing off most likely, I am glad it ended at his hands too because that erases the mistakes he done. But Steve Kerr should still point it out to him, all the turnovers and poor decisions he is making.
Speaking of Poole, after the game Steph Curry was waiting in the dugout to congratulate the team and Poole was the last one, he made a joke out of the frustration action of Curry throwing his mouthguard. Poole mimics what he did and also threw his mouthguard before he gets near Steph. Hilarious.
https://twitter.com/GoIdenState/status/1618493239786639361?s=20&t=T-JOlfPYJ3ayQEehhxT7Og

If they lose on that segment for sure Curry will get disappointed about what Poole done in that sequence but since they won and Poole got a huge recovery for the mistake he done well that somehow erase the pressure. But still as what you said Kerr still need to correct that since this could start up another heated argument to their rooster and might could destroy their chemistry so coach should do their job to correct their players action next time to avoid their player getting ejected on the game since this is crucial especially if this will happen again to curry.

But it was just one game, Poole was also thinking that he can make it but failed. Good thing in the end he delivered a big win for the team. Curry understand the urgency of winning as they are not in a comfortable standing, and it's a shame that a depending champion would not even make it to the playoffs.

If I'm Bollick, I might try my luck overseas and play in the B-league. I mean B-league already gave sign to him that they will get him if he will play there. More money, more experience, more challenging.

Agree with you, Bollick would make a lot of money compared to the amount he would receive even if he will get a max contract. The love of basketball and money should go together because even if you are too loyal in your team in the PBA, you will still be traded when you are less effective.

That's not new already, we've seen plenty of players who are already traded and eventually lose their career.
1348  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: High Profit Projects Are Prone To Scam on: January 26, 2023, 09:31:45 PM
I got involved with one of these a few years back during the rush of bull run was still at its peak and DeFi was so profitable that you could invest into anything that was defi, you would have made some profit. What ended up as a bad investment because they turned out to be a scam, turned into people working towards making it back to come alive again, the owner was out anyway, so it was truly decentralized considering the scammer owner could have done nothing but maybe close the website but they couldn't made a single cent profit from it. Hence it became profitable again after 6 months of waiting, well to be fair I didn't wait, I forgot about it and when I checked it again months later, I learned about this story.
This is the truth - some people earn a huge profit but some of them had also too unlucky and lose their money. But I see this happen when investing coins during the hype, most of the time before we rejected the possible decline, we are always thinking that it keeps going higher but suddenly, drops come and never rise back again. A lot of people has been a victim of this during the ICO, IEO, and Defi times but the good thing is that we are started to learn this time and have been cautious with these new projects.

There are no rules you have to follow. Anybody who says hodl for life is a bit silly imo.
It was a dead strategy by now. We can't assure about the market cycle, not even we can sure that 2-3 years from now the market is bullish. That is why investors had take advantage of selling their Bitcoin when there is a price increase for profit. I'd that it was not important to earn big when you can just do it for one time rather than earning a small profit but in multiple times which I think it was a very effective strategy for me.
Buy low and Sell high - nothing has been said to hold longer.
1350  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Nonito Donaire vs Jason Moloney on: January 26, 2023, 01:10:39 PM
Most of us here are rooting for Donaire to win by KO. However, I have to bet against you guys because I think Inoue will not be able to knock out Jason Moloney, and when that will go to the judges scorecards, the decision might not favor Donaire. I know that he will take this opportunity to win to become a champion again, but judging on his last fight, I believe his age really slowed him down and has affected his power.

Donaire being slowed down isn't really a problem after all. He is already slowed when he passes his peak but takes a look, why still winning most of his fights since entering maybe at 35 years of age or the age where we can consider him a veteran?

While Donaire is slowly losing his speed, his game style also adjusted. The goal is to gain more points therefore, he will do it slowly but surely.

It's just that he was overpowered by Inoue previously but still, his current game style is surely effective at other bantamweight boxers.

But even if he slows down, he negate it with his power and timing, we have seen that he can knockout anyone in the 118 lbs. And for me Donaire is not that fast or quick as let's say Manny Pacquiao, he uses his boxing IQ to really time his opponent coming in that's why you think he is fast. Even in the Darchy fight, you can already see his IQ there by just countering him all night with his left hook until he hit him with that huge one causing Darchy to stumble and never get back. And that is his trademark left hook that up to this day, can still knockout anyone even Moloney if he touches him with that power.

He slowed down but if he has that accuracy he had in his previous wins, I think this fight will end via KO win. However, as I said, my prediction is this is going to end in the judges scorecards, and I'm afraid the decision will not be in Donaire's favor.
1351  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: January 26, 2023, 12:50:28 PM
The return of Brandon Ingram is not enough to end the Pelicans' losing streak. Ingram seems lost and is still to find his rhythm after his long injury. The Pelicans tried to control the game but things changed when the Timberwolves gained momentum in the 3rd quarter and maintained it until the end. Another huge number came from Anthony Edwards with 37 points.

This is the 3rd straight 30+ points by Edwards. Hopefully, he can bring the same momentum when Ja Morant and the Grizzlies visit Minnesota in their next game. Also today, the Grizzlies lost a wild game against GSW. That's the 4th straight loss suffered by the Grizzlies yet they are still looking strong at top 2 in the west.  

He did try though specially in the last 2 minutes of the game, but the Timberwolves have every answer on Ingram's score. Of course, it's really hard to come back and make an impact immediately.

And in the 3rd quarter, they really struggled a bit and so it's hard to make a come back when the other team is hitting their shots as well.

Lost my bet here, as I thought that the Pelicans will win big in their homecourt with Ingram.

He probably needs more time before he can get back to his usual game, but the most important now is that he is already healthy and he will be able to help his team to reach the playoffs as he did last season. Despite the losing streak, the good news is that they are still in the number 4 spot, so if they will star wining, then probably their ranking will improve s well, and it will guarantee them a playoff spot.

I check the boxscore of this game, I saw how the Lakers were able to spread their points, Lebron does not have to score 30 points or more now because Davis is back and he can contribute good numbers consistently. This game, Lebron only scored 20 points, way below from his contributions in the past games without Davis.
1352  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading is risky, be conscious on: January 25, 2023, 10:39:46 PM
I believe every trader knows that before one will come out winning during trading,he might have developed a high sense of maturity,knowing fully well that in the trading game,there is high risk involved,and he won't be scared by the risk,he trades despite knowing that,and with good strategy,he can come out smiling.
To those people that don't know about trading,they feel it's so easy  to trade and get your desired money back  immediately,you must bare in mind that anything happens while trading.That is while you must strategies well,plan well and go in to trading while the coast is clear.
And traders must not rush and think about earning a profit in trading is too easy. Many traders had failed not because they had a good plan or strategies but also due to the unpredictable market movement. That is why we should not underestimate the market nor make ourselves easy to the situation because the truth is that trading is risky and could incur losses no matter what you do. We have to be careful with our decisions as well, many things happen with every mistake we do.

Between Chainge and Woo network which new exchange token is worth investing on right now? If you have other better options you can add, I know of LCX which is better and I've already invested in the project, what other good ones you have in mind
You are not looking for a profit actually but instead, losing your money.
Honestly, I'd never see any reason why these coins are good for investment, or even to say which is better is something uncomfortable because none of the two are worth investing with. Better to stay away from them OP, don't get fooled of what they have said during their marketing because shitcoins can't give you profit but a risk of losing your money in end.

Lakers and Clippers game was interesting. Clippers played well in this game. The problem for the Lakers was only LeBron James the player who played exceptionally well and almost dropped a 50 bomb in this game. But it was a team effort from the Clippers. If LeBron James had a little help from his team, I think this game could have been a lot closer.

I bet he missed the old times when he is getting some help from Wade and others because they were unstoppable at that time and easily get to the NBA playoffs. Now they are having a hard time as if they are not gonna make it to the top 10. Whenever they win straight, they also lose some games in the future. Maybe it will gonna change when AD will play back and they really need to change their game if they want to be in the playoffs this season because their spot has not been changed at all since the start of the season.

Clippers have a good line up now, a healthy PG and Leonard will definitely have a chance to be in the Finals. Actually, even with Lebron and AD playing together, I think the Clippers are still good overall as a team. Lebron has been carrying the Lakers when Davis was injured, but against a good team like the Clippers, I guess his effort would never be enough.

Be it a beginner or not it's hard to predict the market else almost everyone would be making unimaginable all time profits. Presently like bitcoin,  it can be argued that the market is still not to the extend when it could be referred to as bullish market, it's still too soon and the market is still struggling with the resistant level and it's possible it can fall even though some persons only looking at breaking high .
If you want to give a trial any day anytime bitcoin is the best choice of coin to chose mostly for beginners. (My opinion).
there is nothing better than bitcoin if we ask about what it has the potential to do. But some altcoins are also starting to recover and reach even higher prices. Predicting the market is not easy and requires technical analysis skills to do so. the market is currently trending upwards and has been able to sustain $20k and above, this may be a good sign as long as there is no negative news about anything plaguing bitcoin.
Not new to see why some altcoins are also moving high as it was affected by Bitcoin. That is why people are hoping that Bitcoin will pump as altcoins are there to follow as well - the real situation of the market. But if we still have the plan to invest now, I would say to better choose Bitcoin, not altcoins. If the rise continues until the end of this quarter, I could really think that we are leaving far from the bottom, probably we're not turning back below $20k until the next halving come.
1357  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: January 24, 2023, 09:54:24 AM
Here's my pick for tonight's game:

Jazz vs Hornets - Jazz at home -7.5 @1.91
Spurs vs Trailblazers - I'll go with Portland, even though they have a hard breaking lost against the Lakers, I think in this game, they will have to bounce back. -8.5 @1.86
Magic vs Boston Celtics - I'll give the home team a 7.5 @1.94. Might as well throw some at ML @3.45.


That's a big-time win mate, you hit all 3 and if you also hit that ML, then that's another big win. Everything looks easy, the Jazz and Blazers dominated their opponents, while the Magic home team able to keep their lead in the 3rd quarter and dominate the best team in the East also.
1358  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: January 24, 2023, 09:15:54 AM
I'm glad I didn't put my bet on the Memphis Grizzlies. I thought they would win but they collapse in the 4th quarter, probably due to fatigue since it's a back to back game for them. Also, Morant did not play, so easier for the Kings to protect their homecourt.

About the trade, I think Lakers won that trade, and for sure Hachimura will be able to help big time for the undermanned Lakers.

It's nice if they have an ANN thread in the forum so you can read the feedback, and you can also seek help from the community if they intend to scam you. Actually, popular IPTV charge a lot of money, some charge you like $10 or more every month, but there are cheap IPTV that does not buffer a lot, and I think the poster above have a good recommendation as the OP of that thread shared is still active until now and at the same time no red trust.

Well, unforeseen things happen, and in fact that's what happened with the Jazz vs Nets game.
I confess I wasn't expecting this result... But Kyrie Irving was on fire, and practically carried the Nets to victory!

Indeed mate, I even bet in favor of the Utah Jazz because somehow I know they are much more consistent and will take advantage of the Brooklyn Nets while they are still undermanned. Unfortunately, Kyrie gave an unexpected performance and just like you've said, he practically carried the team towards a W.

We will not see that from Kyrie in every game, so I guess I will still bet against that team in the succeeding games. Without the help of his teammates, Nets will probably continue to struggle and they will fall from the ranking.

From number 2, this team is already in number 4 now, and they are 5-5 in their last 10 games.
