This trade has the biggest impact, at least on their respective teams, as both teams are getting contributions from the traded players, especially the Knicks who are on a winning streak now. However, I think Siakam is really a huge addition since he has great experience in the playoffs and they could use him as their go to guy to create his own shot, and hopefully by that time, Hali is not anymore having a minute restriction. Too early for the Pacers, they have the talent now that is capable of winning a championship IMO, all they need to build and polish is their chemistry and they should let Hali to lead this team so no conflict among players and the offense flows well.

So much that it made a big part of my adulthood years exploring and studying this forum not actually to gain profits but basically, to learn and to prepare myself with the technology that this bitcoin is offering to everyone. And while taking the process of learning, these profit opportunities suddenly come in that made it a big bonus for all of us.

Now, I don’t see or imagine myself without visiting the forum everyday. It’s part of my daily routine and I’ve come to accept already that with this forum, I will be able to build my dreams turn out into reality in the future, as long  as my faith is always huge and deep.

Saving should not serve as our end goal towards financial security and stability but it should only be our first step towards realization of our finances. While a lot of us are focused on saving, only few have taken the risk to take an extra mile and invest their savings. Yes, it could be risky but it’s the only possible way to grow your money and bring you multi sources of income aside from the salary you get from your stable job.

However, I’m not going to say prioritize saving over investing but I guess there should be balance between the two. If we are going to save, then we should see to it save also for our investment, to save for emergency funds and to save for the brighter future of the family.

It’s better if you know how to perform binary trading at your own advantage, but if you are only doing this for the get rich quick mindset, I suggest go for long term hodling instead. You cannot expect profits if you trade without gaining necessary skills and knowledge, as the risk to lose is high most especially if you are still learning the process.

However, buying and hodling is less risky and less stressful so if you want to play safe with your bitcoin, don’t decide to trade if you are obviously not prepared for it, but settle first for long term hodling as the chance to make massive profits is quite high as long as you know exactly what you are doing.

What's important is that this kind of speculation will not destroy the entertainment of this series. Because if we believe the reason why one team losses because they have to follow the script, then we can always make our own judgement and sometimes excuses that we don't accept if what we are backing with losses.


And as AFAIR, the max point spread that the line has move was -4.5, but it came back to -3.5 for SMB.



B League, Seriously? at his age? I think that rumors has no basis.

And a mistake of not taking the max contract with the Pacers. He was used to be an all star player, now he's only gaining limited minutes with limited contribution. That's why it's important that when there's an opportunity, they should take it right away as it might not happen again, but too much for that. I think the kind of news has a huge impact for the Rockets, Steve Adams is still young, at age 30 although he was injured, I'm sure he will still be the same again and with him on the paint playing good defense, that will improve their defensive rating.

Rockets got bigger now with this fresh news that came out.

Grizzlies trade Steven Adams to Rockets for Victor Oladipo, three second-round picks, per report



Although Adams is not yet playing due to injury, but when he comes back, he'll be a big help for the team that has been doing pretty well this season. They need a big guy and Adams is just the right answer. So great news so far about the trade news.

And there's the line movement, it's now -2.5, perhaps will move again to -3.5 as the game is nearing. SMB here are more ready, they are well rested while Magnolia only has a few days rest then they'll face the SMB in game 1. Trap or not, I think these two teams are sister team, they can create a script on their own to make this series interesting, so always go with the underdog but not this early.

I hope there's a series betting online. Unfortunately I could not find anything like that on the bookies I'm using, they are more on per game better but with good markets.

It’s not actually wrong if you borrowed some funds for the purpose of an investment, as long as you have a stable source of income that will pay back your loan if that planned investment didn’t work as planned. However, if you are only relying solely for your investment to work so you can pay back that loan, well that’s a very bad decision. You could end up being homeless in the long run if your investment failed in the process.

My suggestion is ask yourself first if you are actually able to pay or not. If not, then delay your plan of investing. Save first so you can finance your own investment.

Great start, 100% win rate. I'm keeping an eye on this. 

I liked the Pacers pick because I think that the Knicks which are on an 8 winning streak is the public pick. Pacers had a good comeback when they were down on their last game vs Celtics, this time I think they are going to win since Knicks are undermanned and of course +3.5 is another advantage for the visiting team.

Injury reports for both teams.

Swerte lang kabayan dahil tumama yung dalawang bets ko. Buti sa Bulls maaga ako kasi naging -6.5 na yan, although nag cover naman, pero mas maganda pa rin sa safe. Basta favorites, mas mabuti early daw mag bet. Sa Clippers naman, muntik yun, buti kinaya naman kahit mataas ang spread.


Congrats, panalo rin ito. Ano bang parlay yan, moneyline ba lahat or point spread? kasi kung point spread pasok pa rin lahat yan.

I think the very main reason why people fail in trading is because they are not actually prepared to trade. Their knowledge and skills may not be sufficient enough, but because a lot are making profits in trading, they also decide to see trading as gambling and try their luck. With that, trading like gambling will never work at all.

However, another reason might be their inability to manage the risks in trading. Since they are not skillful and strategic enough, their risk tolerance is still not good and sufficient enough to successfully overcome the risks in trading.

Bitcoin can be actually used in both, as an investment tool and a currency tool. But because bitcoin has shown consistent significant price increase, majority believe that it would be a more potential investment rather than using it as a currency. Aside from that, only few shop owners accept bitcoin as a payment, so it’s hard to use bitcoin if majority are only accepting fiat as a mode of payment.

However, from my own perspective, I don’t have issues about using bitcoin as a currency, but if you don’t want to lost the present opportunities with bitcoin, use it as an investment first and keep hodling on it until it reaches an all time high, when you have had enough amount of bitcoin, it could be the perfect timing to use some of it as a currency to promote bitcoin in the market as well.

Maganda mga laro bukas kabayan. Tiyak makakapili ka ang magandang  team na tatayaan.

Subukan ko lang, baka bumawi ang Bulls muli. Medyo wala na tong hornets, ayaw ng manalo kaya Bulls ako bukas.

-4 laban sa Hornets, travel na naman sila after home game at back to back pa. Di ako sure gaano kalayo pero kailangan nila bumawi at magaling naman sila sa road, kaya tiwala ako dito.

I add ko na rin clippers -12. Kailangan manalo uli kasi natalo sila ng cavaliers. rested naman ng maayos, siguro kaya naman -12 sa game na ito, Si Kawhi na bahala. So far walang report na hindi mag lalaro kahit isa sa big 4, si zubac lang out pa rin hanggang ngayon.

It would be boring if SMB will sweep Magnolia again. So let's not believe it will happen, finals should be fun and Magnolia is a number team for a reason. Now, it will be the game 4 of the remaining series, hopefully Magnolia will be able to end this series with an impressive win so they'll not be a heavy underdog in game 1, the betting balance is not good when that will happen.


I thought James Yap had already retired because there was this recent article I read.

https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/rain-or-shine-to-retire-james-yap-s-no-18-jersey-a2244-20240130

So is it really possible to sign again with Magnolia and then retire his number in another team? I'm a bit confuse.

Congrats dito bro. tuloy tuloy pa rin ang win streak ng Knicks. Saka laos na talaga ang Jazz, walang panalo sa road, bawi nalang siguro ito sa homecourt nila pero paano na kaya ang confidence nila ngayon.

Sayang, dili ka lang sumablay, konte nalang sana. hehe. 225 lang naging score, sa over ka pa pumusta.

@Japinat ... Mukhang malas choices mo, Boston at lakers talo sa pustahan. Maganda sana naging umpisa ng Boston kaya lang di gaano maganda defense nila, kaya ayun nakahabol at nanalo pa sa plussing.

Scams have become rampant even in the previous years but most probably, since we are expecting bitcoin halving and eventually bitcoin bull run will follow, there will be more scamming incidents will most likely to occur prior to that. And I can see the only remedy to that is to trust and stick to bitcoin. Avoid altcoins most especially to those random projects that are newly risen in the market as majority of them are bound to scam us. And lastly, never trust others but only trust yourself. With the right knowledge and experience with bitcoin, you can never go wrong trusting only yourself.

I did a little research as I could not also remember, they won a championship last 2018.

That was a long time ago, over 5 years, maybe they'll get the championship this time but we never know since SMB is also a strong team. Sure enough, they will be the underdog, compared to the last time they won a championship.

Clippers win streak is over, Mitchell and the hot Cavaliers were able to defend their home court. I was not able to post my pick here but I was on the other side (Cavaliers) as I figured out that everyone was so hype with what the Clippers did to the Celtics who have a very good home record, but they probably forgot that this team Cavaliers is also one of the hottest teams now that jus recently beat the Bucks on the road.
