Bad news. Another star was injured.

DeMar DeRozan injury update: Bulls star leaves game vs. Celtics with right quadricep strain
Quote
The Chicago Bulls had to finish out their game against the Celtics in Boston on Monday night without a key contributor. All-Star forward DeMar DeRozan left the game during the third quarter after tweaking his leg, and he was ultimately ruled out for the remainder of the contest due to a right quadricep strain.
https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/demar-derozan-injury-update-bulls-star-leaves-game-vs-celtics-with-right-quadricep-strain/
We are not even done talking about the Chicago Bulls roster, how good LaVine had become, Lonzo Ball's injury, trade rumors, and this happened.
I wish it was not that bad.
The expectation of having an intense game against the Boston Celtics was gone after I read the news that will not return for the remainder of the game.
It was supposed to be a back-and-forth answer of offense against the Celtics duo.
Anyway, if that injury will need long rest for DeRozan, I doubt the Bulls can survive some of their games.

That's big bad news for Chicago Bulls. Just as they are starting to heat up and are on a 3-game winning streak with wins over top of the teams Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers. DeRozan mentioned that the injury was already there but he continued to play for 8 games and then it deteriorated. I wonder what is next, especially since LaVine earlier was hinting at a move to another team. Quad injuries will most likely be healed after a month but the Bulls do not have enough time since they are at the bottom of the rankings.

Too bad for the Bulls, they cannot win games consistently without DeRozan, they only get better because DeRozan joined them and their recent run is very positive, it's just unfortunate that injuries happened.

Last day, we have Durant getting injured, now we have DeRozan.

Those who've seen previous bear markets, survived several winters, please share some hope and courage.
This is not the end, right? Smiley
It was the end for those who make themselves doubtful about the market but for those who still have faith and courage, their journey will continue and possibly reach far.

With all the dips and losses I've experienced in the past, sometimes I got hopeless and chased my losses, yet I still fail to do it. I realized now that in order to survive all the difficulties we have we need to remain strong and calm, and most of all, to keep positive. Because there is nothing that could help but just ourselves. Because even if I tell you all of these things, I'm not sure if you are still doing it religiously or just making your own.
1403  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is The Gambling Industry Part Of The Domino Effect That Happens In The Market on: January 07, 2023, 01:11:25 PM

People do save over there and something they do that because of accumulative gambling which they involved themselves in. They keep gambling until they reached a certain goal that they set for themselves before they withdraw. Generally people enjoy using centralized platforms to store their coins as there's still a large percentage of people storing their coins on exchange and other not so friendly platforms like casinos.

Some gamblers keep funds on casinos to avoid expenses of transaction fees or delay in crediting their betting account since some betters enjoy placing bet on live games so they have to I have their funds always available to ensure they can easily place those bet.

It would be fine if they kept a small amount of coins because you never know what will happen to the casino. It is true that we can avoid spending transaction fees which may be repeated many times, making some gamblers keep their coins in exchanges and casinos. And it will not affect the casino business by the impact on the exchange because gamblers will continue to gamble even though the market is as unstable as it is today. Moreover, gamblers also have a choice of many coins that they can use to gamble.

If you deposit your money on casino you should take it as a loss already so that you will not get pressured about other possibilities. That's why there's an advice that gamble the amount you can afford to lose since we can make this as a basis for not getting hurt when bad times happen.

But if the amount is huge and that one is your hard earned money much better if you do regular withdrawal especially if you are already in the winning side.
But I don't think that kind of thinking applies to everyone. Because it was not the way I think, I deposit thinking that I could get some in return which is why I have tried myself. But of course, we don't expect something huge as we already how gambling works.
Well, anyways, in regard to putting money on gambling sites for many days - I'd never find it wrong if it was a trusted site, unless if the site is unreliable and has a known negative feedback.

New projects are quite risky. Yes there are chances that you can earn a lot from a private series but it will depend on how promising the project are. Anyway theres a lot of factors to do and thats gonna be crucial when investing. $10 or $1k there is no difference but that will still be at risk, but gaining profits are also can be considered.

You need to have a lot of researches before putting any money on it.

Nowadays people (trader's especially) don't rely on promising projects or trusted dev team to earn good profits. All they need is the right tool to navigate and make their daily profits.
In other words, there are different approaches to achieve one's goal, good dev or not, all that is required is the right knowledge.
After these recent ugly events that occur in the crypto space, I trust on dev team reduces drastically.
Because the basis of choosing a project is not only having good and trusted team members but investors will look deeper if this project really has the potential and remain valuable. And it is very unfortunate that almost all of these new projects are nothing and no working products,  we can't expect them to succeed either and give ROI to the investors. That is why research is highly advisable and we don't get fooled by the sweet promises that most developers are doing because, in the end, they will break those things and leave.

It seems like everything is doing better on the Nuggets' side and now on the top of the West.
They are very consistent and looks like they are covering the spread as well. I would not bet against this team for now, they are just doing some great consistency and it's hard to ignore that.

I pass on this game but whoever took the bet for the Lakers are winner now.
The stats are spread beautifully as Lebron, Westbrook, Bryant, Schroder, and especially Nunn helped each other to claim the W.
WB is one assist shy from another triple-double.
Same here, but it would have been a bad day for me if I pull the trigger and bet on the Hawks, I was thinking that after their win, they will continue but the Lakers now are very different, they seemed to be playing with sense of urgency as they want to win every game.
1406  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: January 07, 2023, 07:51:17 AM

Somehow, we as basketball fans would like to see again Lebron James playing in the post season, but we cannot just get ahead because their current roster will not probably get the chance to play at the playoffs considering how inconsistent they are, and players aren't that willing to step-up if there's a situation that needed them to be at the best version of themselves. So far, they are making an improvement, but I still doubt it.

They needed to make a move in this upcoming trade because if they won't then it's best to assume that they won't going to reach far enough, if they will get lucky, they will just probably get eliminated in the 1st round or worse in the play-in tournament.

Maybe there's a little chance to reach the playoffs but they will probably have an early exit because they will be battling the tough team in the NBA. Well, Lebron and Davis may have the experience, but the game now has chance, it's not only about 1 or 2 guys on the roster, it's about a good teamwork and the Lakers simply does not have that thing yet.
1407  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Free crypto possible ? Or impossible? on: January 06, 2023, 11:03:22 PM
Money isn't free and if there is any either its a scam or complete value less project so don't waste time on researching about how to make free money and how to get free cryptocurrency. Just use your common sense and earn the money for that the ways are limit less, you can use your skill to make them in legit way or anything apart from to make huge tons.

Crypto's use as money is increasing by the day, so we should expect less rewards as it reaches the mainstream world. There's no such thing as "free money", anyways. Most projects that give away free coins turn out to be a scam in the long run. Even those that are legit could end up being worthless in the future. You can earn a lot more by working for crypto or simply mining/staking it at home. With increasing regulatory pressure from mainstream governments, you can say bye-bye to free coins for good. Who knows if this will eliminate scam projects once and for all? Just my thoughts Grin
Perhaps, you are telling what really happen in the market today. Nobody would give us free when it has value in the market, developers won't do that.
Airdrops now are not just a waste of time but also a way to ruin the entire market, we are already flooded with shitcoins. Sad to say that there are still people who are looking for their fortune in an airdrop. But anyways, whatever their reasons, it was their decision either.
Well, I just hope that the government will implement strict regulations seriously otherwise, scam projects remain.

Don't look into the age OP. Age is not a problem, in fact, even a 50-year-old can still invest as long as we are not dying. As long as we still have enough energy, why we should waste this opportunity? If we invest now, it is possible we can earn a profit 2-3 from now, it was not a long wait for us. I would say that it was best to have this investment at your age as it won't compromise your health because the only thing you do after buying is to wait for the bull season and then sell.
If you have money, then do it.

If you look closely you would understand as development keep growing the more we face and experience lots of changes in the world. Personally since I was born I have never experienced or witness anything like covid-19 or economic meltdown but just of few years now things has drastically changed, government aren't really helping out  coupled with the decreasing of  unemployment rate going worster every year.  What you should do is to get something doing maybe you won't feel it that much whenever you are occupied you may not come to think of how things are going on with you rather thinking of how to make progress. Every year has there phases of climate change and occurrences so one really needs to be prepared.
Because what they know is to steal money from us but not help.
We can no longer expect the government will give its best to help us that is why we should find a way on our own. Because of greediness and political power, war has been created, nobody wanted to defeat and they fight even losing millions of lives of their countrymen in the seek of implying power and control to other countries. Normal people got affected and so those who live in poor countries suffered the most. In this situation, we can expect the worse possible scenario in the future and a lot of people suffered.
1410  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Devin Haney vs Vasiliy Lomachenco on: January 06, 2023, 10:19:19 AM

But I do believed that this is going to be a close fight and not going to be easy for Haney even if he turns to be the betting favorite.

Exactly, Haney will not dominate here completely as Loma has not been dominated yet in his boxing career. He use to be the one who dominate his opponent, so until I see that scenario against him, I would not think that Loma is already not good enough for a fighter like Haney who are still on his prime.

If these odds are true, then Haney is the heavy favorite.
Quote
Lomachenko, who struggled to beat Jamaine Ortiz last weekend, opened at +172 odds.
The opening odds mark the longest in the careers of both fighters.

1411  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: January 06, 2023, 08:35:39 AM
I've read an article today, and according to it, it will still be Nicholson who will be their import in game 4. Maybe that's the reason why the odds favored the Ginebra and they are now favored by -2.5 points. This is the first time where Ginebra was listed as the favorite, and we all know that game 4 is a very important game for the Bay Dragons as they need to win to even the series.

I have also read that Nicholson won't be playing today because of injury and they will not field Powell as their import so i think that is the reason on the shifting of the odds and this may be a bad sign for those who bet for the Bay Area Dragons as not fielding an import is a sign that they are conceding this early in the series.
Consider the series over already. Ginebra will win the title.

Nicholson will remain as their import but will not play in Game 4? I mean they are in a PBA Finals series, and you will not let any of your 2 imports play. If one of them can play, then at least let them play but they aren't doing it. That alone is a sign that the Dragons are raising the white flag. Anyway, Game 3 alone has many discrepancies and for them, it looks like the referees are favoring the Ginebra when it comes to fouls. Well, they've always been. Ooops!!! Tongue

This Finals series might be over in 5 games. I'm pretty sure the morale of the Dragons went down drastically after what happened in Game 3. They are very frustrated that even Powell and Blankley posted their feelings in social media, and they were fined because of it. For the Ginebra, it's a big achievement for them but for the Dragons, it's just a scrimmage series for them so why bother sacrificing their imports. That's what they are thinking right now.

They choose to rest Nicholson because it will only give them more problems if the injury will be aggravated. After this game, they still have a chance to win but it's very slim since the chance for a team winning the championship from a 3-1 deficit is very low, but at least having him in game 5 will probably make the team better, and hopefully he is 100% that time.
1412  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: January 06, 2023, 07:22:07 AM
I like your guys’ pick of the Memphis Grizzlies, but am a little curious why the odds aren’t longer. I may have to look at the injury report. I also like the Denver Nuggets over the Clippers, which I think will have a better payoff. Hopefully with Paul George out (I think) they’ll have limited minutes for Kawhi and Wall to give the Nuggets an easy ride to the win.

Every team that won in NBA today did so with quite some ease, I didn't expect Denver Nuggets to blow the Clippers out that early into the game, while Kawhi Leonard and Paul George both in the starting lineup but the Denver still were able to restrict the Clippers to 32 points in the first, while putting up 66 points themselves, the major damage was done from behind the arc where Denver Nuggets were very effective in that half, so the game was pretty much a done deal from the first half, Kawhi and PG didn't even need to play in the second half.

That happened due to a lack of defense, I thought that the Clippers will play better and they could upset the home team because Leonard will be available. It's just unfortunate we are not seeing a very entertaining game.

The Clippers are awful, they only shoot 14% from beyond the arc compared to the 39% of the Nuggets.

I thought this team will not give up, but maybe they already believe that they cannot come back anymore that's why they didn't try in the 2nd half.

Most games last night were boring unless you have perfect wins on the 4 games. LOL.
The only game that I like was the Jazz vs Rockets, I'm entertained watching the fight because finally, the Jazz had stopped their losing streak.

Again, the most consistent guy in the roster is Lauri, he dropped 49 points, which is more than enough to beat the home team.
1413  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: January 06, 2023, 06:29:28 AM
Unfortunately I was not able to watch this whole Celtics vs Mavericks game, but I saw in some highlights that Marcus Smart played well, and mainly his main characteristic which is his defense, worked well in this game, because I also agree that "only" 23 points for Luka it's not much, I immediately imagined that for this to have happened either Luka played badly or he was very well guarded.

Good thing you didn't watch the game but it turns out it was just a boring game. Honestly, I didn't expect that the Mavericks will lose by blowout in that game, they were playing very well at home, so I was expecting that they will at least make it tougher for the Celtics to beat them.

It was a long and existing issue but I'd never see its ending story and stop people from relying on this useless strategy.
As we can see, most new traders are looking at crypto signals and they think that this could help them become profitable. Unfortunately, this will give them nightmares of losing their money relying on fake signals from self-proclaimed expert traders.
I think they are somehow important in the sense that it shows you what the market thinks and what people want to do etc etc, doesn't show you what it "will" do, market is definitely unpredictable, but knowing the community is still valuable in a sense. Newbies should still study it to learn more about the community they are in and if you are focusing on that then you are learning what the psychology of the market is as well at the same time.

These are all important things and you should be proud to learn how to use it. I wouldn't say it is simple or easy, it definitely is not and it's a bit difficult, but it's not going to be unimportant neither.
It will emphasize the importance of learning our own signals and predicting the market as we can than just relying on other signals which we never know where it comes from or if it was seriously made to help someone. The idea of making our way to understand the market behavior and adopt its volatility is even more important than how these signals are generated. Because someday, we can also make our own. Of course, you are right, trading is not easy and so this signals to understand but actually, it all depends on the person who made it and applied it to their trade.
1415  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Meme coin caused Solana price to rise by 40% in a week on: January 05, 2023, 01:23:55 PM
Recently a meme coin was launched on Solana network which got a lot of hype. As a result, Solana prices are about 40% up in last one week. Do you think this is good thing or bad thing for solana ? Just a meme coin causing this boost instead of some solid news like good partnerships or adoption in some company.
Not a surprise as meme coins are just hype and can't be trusted when it comes to long-term investment.
But, I don't say it was a mistake investing in Solana but be sure to sell them when it peaks otherwise, regrets are really gonna happen in the end. But if we are looking into something that we can assure the safety of our investment, better to avoid meme coins like Solana. The hype will never stay long and many investors had failed to make a profit because of thinking more (greed), and I don't want you to suffer like that.

Suppose I am doing business through an online Facebook page and website and want to accept Bitcoin. But now if I look at cryptocurrencies it comes with high volatility, and I have doubts whether accepting Bitcoin will be profitable for my business.
I really want to know your opinion on this and what are the initial steps I should take if I adopt cryptocurrency for my business? Because I see many people on the forum are taking steps to accept Bitcoin for businesses and that's why these questions araised in my mind.

With the volatility of Bitcoin, will somehow then think that it was not really a great option for business but nothing happens to us if we never try at least we know the results. We can't just tell we fail unless we give it some try and do our best. There is one reason why a person fails in business and it is because of their mindset. You already think about the negative results which could influence you as well and then start to doubt.
Many have tried doing this business, I think they are already in profit. Have faith and stop thinking of failure but rather think of the best strategy to grow your business.

This would be a major issue in the long run if you were solely relying on trading signals: what if the channel was shut down or no one posted a signal? You will undoubtedly cry because you do not know how to trade and profit again. Also, now you are still asking for another trading signal group? Then what if it gets closed again or no one provides signals? Will you cry again? Break the cycle! Learn to trade, don't rely on it, and it is better to join trading groups and ask for experts to coach you rather than doing that thing!
It was a long and existing issue but I'd never see its ending story and stop people from relying on this useless strategy.

I think it was the time for us, especially newbies to open our minds that these signals have no help to us. It only causes losses on our end.

So it's another dejavu win for Sacramento, it could have been went into OT, but Fox was to fast and score the go ahead, that is a costly mistakes for the Jazz as they didn't double team him and get the ball away from his hands.

Yeah, it's the defense that was the problem of the Jazz, this team was supposed to be a defensive team but they are not anymore good in defense now. Their big run was just wasted because they made a mistake on the most important play in the last sec, this could went to OT and they have a chance to win because they already have the momentum.

I also don't suspect that he has taking any enhancing drugs for that matter. We have seen him scoring even when he was still in Utah, maybe he just woke up on the right side of the bed and just decided to take over that game and win it for them.

And now it's Giannis turn to have a 50 point game performance, Klay had one as well. And so as we have discussed, this season is going to be a special one with this kind of scoring and specially if Lebron will break Jabbar's record it will be the ultimate scoring record.
I just finished reading about it here.
https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/cavaliers-donovan-mitchell-says-he-was-drug-tested-after-dropping-71-points-against-bulls/
I think they didn't let the results leak out but I doubt it will be positive. Obviously, because Mitchell had the guts to tweet about it.
We call this being "in the zone" and it was known to happen to players if it's their night. They do "heat checks" if they feel it. Kobe felt it, Booker did, and Melo in New York and even Jeremy Lin, fans do love it when it happens.
Donovan Mitchell felt the zone in that last quarter of the game against the Bulls and then more in overtime.
This should not be questioned anymore as the defense is also becoming weaker and weaker, especially against a Bulls team, and shooters are given more priority for their space to shoot.

Personally, I do not think that the players should be held accountable for taking some performance, enhancing materials, just because they dropped an insane performance in a match. I am also positive that he did not take anything like that.

I know for a lot of people, it is going to be hard to believe that he was actually “in the zone“. But that can happen and that has happened previously. However, I also think that the authority is very much in their right to check if he is actually taking any substance or not. If the player is not taking anything, which I believe he did not, everything should be fine.


If he was found out using an enhancement drug which is illegal, then probably he was already suspended, just like what happen to  Ayton (https://nba.nbcsports.com/2019/10/24/deandre-ayton-suspended-25-games-for-drug-policy-violation/)... Mitchell is actually a superstar, he can drop that points especially if his shooting percentage is very efficient.

That's definitely one of the things that you can consider when you are talking about trading and if that's what you have experienced so, why not?

For me, the people who are earning a lot are not so noisy about it and just keep it in a low profile unless it's an enormous amount of win and needs to be televised or something.
Because there is nothing for them to prove in public that they are earning and for their safety from hackers, they keep on silent and continue trading.

And I know that trading is really profitable to others but it is also a disaster to others too. It is certainly hard for beginners to earn a profit which I see OP had complained about his experience from trading. But such a mindset couldn't really stay in trading and no way he could understand the situation for I believe he is not doing well and chasing success but can't accept losses.
