Unfortunately the era of the Splash Brothers seems to be fading. The team is already fatigued if you know what I mean. They require a strong big man and speed. The Warriors are in desperate need of a good center. Looney alone isn't sufficient against bigger, younger players. Surprisingly, Moody and Kuminga seem to outperform Wiggins and Klay as much as it pains to admit.

Obviously, is the Denver Nuggets area because of Jokic and Murray if they can get to the NBA finals this season and win the championship there will be no doubt about that. The Splash brothers are still fine because they won the championships not too long ago these last 10 years. But as we all know when you get older you begin to feel the change and we are seeing it from them right now
They are still in good shape, especially with their main player performing at an MVP level—Curry's averages this season are on par with MVP caliber. The issue seems to be his teammates underperforming. If they face another setback this season, there's a possibility they'll opt for a team rebuild. Klay Thompson is set to become an unrestricted free agent next year, and not re-signing him or negotiating a lower contract could save them a significant amount of money. This could pave the way for new players, particularly addressing their weakness in the bigs department, adding depth to the Warriors.

that's why Michael Jordan retired early, he chose to carve the minds of the fans during his prime without giving them any idea of how would he be play when he is no longer making those good plays.

He retired at age 34 but come back at age 38 playing for 2 seasons with the Washington Wizards, so technically he retires old but people still consider him as the GOAT.

The AI prediction seems quite conservative in my opinion. However, considering the current market movement, I find it reliable and possibly undervalued. Bitcoin could potentially reach as high as $50k this year, especially if the bullish market trend continues. AI predictions are based on real data, so with the overall bullish sentiment among many in the community, there's optimism for further accumulation and observing if the bullish trend will persist.

As for next year, does AI have a prediction on whether Bitcoin will break its all-time high before or after the halving?

^^^^so to make up for decreasing buys, promoters raise the price for viewers which further limits their audience.

That might not be a good strategy in my opinion. Perhaps their target audience is very limited, considering they're raising the price of PPV subscriptions. Wouldn't it be better if they had more subscribers at a lower price? I mean, volume or pricing can make a fight more profitable. This way, others who can't afford the PPV price won't resort to looking for illegal streams. If that becomes rampant, it could affect the future of PPV subscriptions.

I feel that when Bitcoin is reaching peak prices, all news sites cover the news. As a result, lot of new users come to Bitcoin. As a result, this can be a good time to invest in promotion of crypto affiliate programs. The chances for conversions will be higher as Bitcoin popularity will already be in mind of people.

Of course, once the market turns bullish, people slowly start returning to crypto, and you'll have a huge audience that could potentially sign up for the affiliates you are promoting. The bull season is the happiest time in the crypto market, as people see almost everything as an opportunity to earn a decent profit and to entertain themselves as well.

What business industry your affiliate falls by the way?

And when after investing hours creating those threads, the applauds they expected doesn't appear, they'll feel not being good enough.
What kind of applause are they expecting? Is it receiving merits? I think that's what most newbies would like to receive to rank up. However, since they created a thread to share, they should not expect merits from it. Otherwise, these forum newbies will only be merit farmers, and none of them would be genuine in their contributions. Isn't it that we are here to learn, especially for newbies? If we can share, feel free—it's something we contribute to the community without expecting a return.

Would be really interested in hearing your reviews.

Maybe consider a review campaign for your site, especially since there might not be many reviews from the community yet, given that the gambling site isn't widely known. It could be a fresh start for promoting the site. Additionally, you might want to think about running a signature campaign, but be sure to choose a reputable campaign manager to ensure you get the expected results.

Castro seems needs to adjust and go back in time, without Mickey and Roger TNT is really needed him, Oftana can't do it alone plus the fact that earlier even RHJ is back he needed to rest late in the third quarter not sure because any injury but TNT needs to survive without him and good thing that they manage to escape that game as Converge manage to force the game into OT. I was thinking to place some spare for the handicap but I doubt them since RHJ is playing, sorry missed but that's gambling hahaha..

TNT needs the young guys to step up; Castro can't be playing heavy minutes considering his age. He isn't LeBron, so there's a likelihood that he'll get injured, and TNT will miss a reliable point guard. They are still in the running this season; they secured their first win. They just have to play smarter next time and manage Castro's minutes effectively. Additionally, RHJ needs to step up his game.

Same here, I've only heard of it, but I'm not so familiar with how to use it.

May I suggest that if Bitcoin's transaction fees are too high, maybe we can make this campaign a bi-weekly or monthly payout to save on fees.
549  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou Boxing October 28 on: November 09, 2023, 01:47:12 PM
Before Usyk entered the scene, Wilder was considered Fury's toughest opponent. In fact, many believed Wilder would win the fight, and he was the heavy favorite on sports betting sites. Wilder was -160 in the first fight and -125 in the second one. He was actually the underdog in their last bout, and he lost because Fury had figured out how to beat him. Although Fury had already defeated Wilder in their rematch, the last fight was a pretty dominant win for him.

Fury should not have a rematch with Ngannou, that is now in the past. Fury should be focused on trying to fight Usyk and trying to unify the belts to become the undisputed heavyweight champion (either that or Usyk will). He seemed to be on a decline after the highs of beating Wilder because he has been fighting boxers he was head and shoulders better than therefore a fight against Usyk just might make Fury elevate his game and enjoy boxing again.
Even though Fury won in a split decision, I dont think there should be a rematch. The problem was not because Ngannou is so good and can fight with champions on equal level, but simply because Fury underestimated him. If they would have a rematch I dont think that Fury is going to be so passive and slow.

I guess during that live event there are gamblers who thinks  that converged can still catch up and snatched the game, but it didn't happen as blackwater secure their first win in this season.

I guess they didn't understand that Converge already go their key players (Ahanmisi and Teng), so this team now is not the same anymore, they lose to Blackwater who is one of the worse team in the PBA, that's a bad sign that they don't have a good future waiting for them, eventually this team will be sold again as the owner/s are not willing to invest on quality players.

I don't think that they will sell the franchise, they lose because in basketball there players who got an off night and for sure they will bounce back, besides they are still adjusting to their new players, the chemistry is not there yet but eventually everything will be fine. Its just that Blackwater was lucky that almost everything they threw, went in. Just a note that Converge hired Willie Miller as one of their assistant coach so they are serious in their campaign in the PBA.

I believe the days are long gone when teams not owned by SMB and TNT could compete at a high level. The thing is, these big teams like SMB and TNT can afford to pay top players attractive salaries, which often leaves the smaller teams with more mediocre players. As a result, their chances of winning don't stack up as well against teams composed of superstars.

Take SMB, for example. We can see that they've gathered players who were previously leading their former teams, including names like Romeo, Jeron Teng, Jericho Cruz, Perez, CJ, and Vic Manuel.

Games for tomorrow:

Dyip vs NorthPort (4:00 PM)
NLEX vs Phoenix (8:00 PM)

No odds yets, let's yet tomorrow for that.

Yes, odds aren't available yet but i'm guessing, Northport and NLEX would be the favorites to win in their respective games.

No Draymond tonight for the Warriors as they take on the Denver Nuggets. Given the already large size difference between the teams I think this will be problematic for the Warriors. Jokic should have himself quite a night. Draymond isn’t injured or anything as he’s listed as being out for personal reasons. Still, the Nuggets should easily get this win. We’ll see…
Oh ok, I thought that he will be playing and be the main main to contained Jokic. So it will be in the hands of Saric and Looney and so Jokic could have a easy time posting and then showing his skills in passing. Although he has to play defense specially in Saric as he can shoot the ball.

I guess for others a 1.63 ML will be a good bet already for the Nuggets.

You just have to put some decent money on them without thinking what will be the handicap. Although for those interested, it's not bad as well, +/-1.5.
I just decided just to go with the ML on the Nuggets. They didn't disappoint me, but the games is really very close it's that the Warriors doesn't have enough time and although Klay has the ball time did run out as he made a fumble.
With only 3 seconds left in the game and no timeouts for the Warriors, it was tough to take a shot because they didn't plan the play carefully. They don't necessarily have to be in that situation all the time. It would be better if they played stronger from the beginning so they aren't constantly playing catch-up and only giving their all when time is running out.

Anyway, it was still a good game. The Warriors showed their competitiveness, and I believe they could give the Nuggets a tough series if they meet in the playoffs.

Nevertheless, the line up of Warriors still looks solid despite their age and their experience really carry them in this game against the Nuggets. And this is the toughest games for the Nuggets in my opinion. Games are not decided until the last seconds.

So congrats on those who ride on the Nuggets win, it's worth it.

I guess most of the bettors take the spread since Nuggets are really good at home, so they lose their bet because of that +0.5 the Warriors have.

Murray is lucky to have a good team as they are still winnign despite him resting due to injury.
552  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are You Tax Efficient With Your Gambling Habbits? on: November 09, 2023, 06:52:42 AM
But I don't know, maybe the tax calculation for gamblers is different from one country to another.

By the way, we are talking about the honest persons who will declare all the winnings income from the gambling site and willing to pay the taxes.
However majority of the gamblers will hide the gambling income as the the government cannot check the money stored on the gambling sites. Some gambler may keep the money at the year end on the gambling site and once the tax paying period is over they may cash our and bring the gambling income to their accounts.

In case of crypto, they may not convert to fiat and keep them in their bitcoin/altcoins wallets or in the form of USDT where again the government has no access to verify anything.

That assumption might not be accurate. If the gambling site cooperates, the government could indeed find out how much we're holding, especially if they are regulated by our government. However, if they don't cooperate, there's no way the government can know. But when you cash out to fiat, you might face questions about the source of your funds since local exchanges are regulated by them.

So, it's a good idea to be prepared for that. You really need to be savvy to avoid taxes on gambling. Just because the government isn't currently keeping a close eye on things doesn't mean we're in the clear when it comes to tax obligations. That's not how it works.

AJ seems a good opportunity for Francis. He has been shutting up opportunities for him to make big money and chase a lost fight. It doesn't matter whether he gets a rematch or not, he proved himself that he can fight in boxing that's the very point of him getting out of UFC.  So right now he is willing to wait while Fury will just lay around with his 50M and if he won't fight up to 5 years, Francis will just waste his only years left.
Fury won't relax for that long, he is used to making big bucks in boxing, so he'll maximize the opportunity to make more money while he is still on his prime. He might not fight Francis soon but he would sure get bigger fights especially if he'll beat Usyk.

With the controversial decision, I don't think Fury will ever give him the rematch, Fury will just laugh at him. I thought it was fixed already that he will be fighting this Dec with either AJ or Wilder.

There's no fix decision yet, all of what we read could only be rumors, Usyk isn't 100% yet and Fury probably on the healing period now.

AJ vs Wilder, I think they could fight as they haven't been busy lately, but the unification is going to be next year for Usyk and Fury.

Wembanyama has been having a tough time lately, especially after that fantastic performance against the Suns earlier this season. They've been on a losing streak with big margins, and today, they fell to the Knicks with a 21-point deficit. Wembanyama only managed to score 14 points, which is a disappointing 28.5% shooting percentage. Coach Pop really needs to figure things out; the trend is starting to look pretty concerning. Could it be that Wembanyama's weaknesses are getting exposed?

The chart explains everything, thank you for simplifying it.

I believe that Bitcoin will surge after the halving. It aligns with the cycle, indicating the next bull run should occur by 2025 or next year. We shouldn't go against this trend. The best strategy to make decent profits is to keep accumulating and hold onto the asset until that time arrives.

If we decide to cash in on the profits after reaching a new ATH we should not hesitate, as eventually the market will likely start to correct, so we might need to wait another four years for the next high.

There is unfortunately nothing that make you a successful gambler unless you make more money than you lose and we all know this is impossible in gambling.

I would disagree with that. So, what is the point of people, especially in sports, risking huge sums of money? Some even bet millions of dollars because they are confident in their skills. Saying that winning in gambling is impossible is wrong. It's more accurate to say it's almost impossible, as there's only a slim chance of becoming financially successful in gambling.

Yes, some consider it as fun only, but you can't blame other people who are too ambitious in gambling, and I believe they know what they are doing. Those sports handicappers who are making a living in gambling are great at what they do.

Turns out the ROS and Meralco game has become a high-scoring one, LOL. I hope they'll continue shooting well, as I have my bet on the total range of 221-230 with x20 odds. If I win this (lucky), I'll have more funds to gamble tomorrow since there are plenty of NBA games available.
558  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: November 07, 2023, 02:29:11 PM
I will go for Jason Tatum here due to the consistency he has shown in the last few games, plus that impressive 54% from beyond the arc. This is remarkable because he does not fully rely on 3-point shooting, which would indicate how complete a player he is. No disrespect to Curry, though, but the Warriors have been relying so much on him, unlike the Celtics where everyone has been moving the ball well. So, Tatum does not have the same burden as Curry.
559  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: For Newbies Interested in Gambling on: November 07, 2023, 01:40:06 PM
Note that the most important thing in gambling is bankroll management and finding value. What messes people up is poor bankroll management.  Personally, I limit my bets to no more than 10 percent of my bankroll per day, I stop once that limit is reached.  Also don't get discouraged if variance comes in and you have a losing day, week, month, etc. Value is value and it will catch up.  Goodluck on your gambling journey.


You must be referring to a gambling called sports betting, because you can't use "finding value" on games that are purely based on luck. And yeah, bankroll management is very important as that would show how discipline we are as a bankroll, if we are good in managing the bankroll, the only factor that we need to consider next is finding value on match up, means we have to win more bets than we lose.
560  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: November 06, 2023, 04:16:13 PM
Though no odds yet but i have my eye on Blackwater because Converge has lost their key players to SMC teams.

Isn't Blackwater like a farm team? Even though Converge released two key players, I still think they're a stronger team than Blackwater. So, I believe the quality of the imports on both teams will make a big difference. The team with the better import will likely win.


That's the rumor, but it doesn't matter much because we have imports that could make the team better. It would be different if it were an all-Filipino cup, as the most talented players are not in the farm team; they are already picked up by larger teams like SMB and TNT. Personally, I don't know who the imports are on these teams, so I might just wait and bet live, perhaps after the first quarter, to see which team has the better import.

I expect this game to be close, so I might consider taking the handicap for Blackwater because I think they'll be the underdog.

That would be a better strategy, and an interesting fact is that weaker teams often perform well in the early stages of the conference. So, the best chance to support them is during their first game.
