1761  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] Logan Paul vs Mike Tyson on: November 25, 2021, 01:56:11 PM
But Tyson is used to fight bigger guys before, so for sure he still has that experience under his belt eventhough he is already old. So for me, I doubt that Logan Paul knows how to take advantage of his reach against even a ageing Mike Tyson.

And with that, it will still be Tyson who has all the tools, power, experience. But this could be another setup exhibition though.
Yes, you are correct, I had not remembered this important variable.

Well, better for Tyson and worse for Logan Paul...probably with the difference in height and wingspan, I believe Mike Tyson will do anything to place the closest to Paul.
I remember, in his prime, Tyson performed these moves against bigger opponents.


But he is not anymore in his prime now, already at 55 years old so there's a lot of question if he can still KO a younger opponent. Though I believe in his capacity to do it, I also make sure that I'm open to seeing the opposite of my expectation as Tyson is really old, period.

Another trade just happened.
TNT acquiring Carl Bryan Cruz in three-man trade with Blackwater

Quote
CHOT Reyes has always been intrigued by Carl Bryan Cruz's talent since he was a fixture in the Gilas Pilipinas roster during the former's time in charge.

Now he gets to handle the 6-foot-4 forward anew, but outside of the national team set-up.

Three-man deal
Cruz is bound for a reunion with Reyes at TNT Tropang Giga as Blackwater is trading the former Far Eastern University standout to the Tropang Giga for big man Chris Javier and a future first-round pick.

Seldom-used Blackwater rookie Mark Acuno was likewise thrown into the mix, packaged with the oft-injured Cruz to complete the trade.

I believe CBC would be a big help for TNT, this is the best team he is playing with and there's a big chance that he will win a championship.

Good luck to him.
1763  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading is not meant 4everybody on: November 25, 2021, 12:40:27 PM

Trading is not really meant for everybody but the question is, how can a person determine whether they are not meant to do trading? When they lose $100? When they lose $500? When they lose $1,000 and so on?

The answer will vary per person.

Let those people just continue to trade despite the loss. Sometimes the road to success can be achieved after a painful and heavy loss.
Having loss is part if the journey, even traders who gains profit nowadays experience loss. Those newbies who just gain profit in their start were only considered lucky. As long as we are dedicated to learn and want to pursue this profession nothing will be impossible. There are many ways to learn now and to study how to trade if we think it’s not yet for us then we can keep grinding to study more till we fit in it. We are the one who will decide our success.
Trading does not only mean profits but it also brings losses as well. So the moment you decide to trade, expect that there will be more losses particularly if you are still a newbie, and even for those skilled traders they are still experiencing losses too.

However, even if you see yourself as a good trader and yet, you still keep on committing losses, i guess there's something wrong with how you trade, either you fix it and learn more about trading, or quit from trading so you won't be making losses at all. This only proves that trading may be done by everyone, but not everyone is capable to do a good and profitable trading. Although trading can be learned, but its still undeniable that only few traders have remained successful in this kind of industry.
1764  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: My plans for the next bear market on: November 25, 2021, 07:10:25 AM

No need for that plan to take effect in December.

We don't know what will be the trend for that month. You can actually take effect and deploy that plan now as we speak.

For a test strategy, you can have some small trades starting now and see what will be the result.


You have a point mate, everybody are very optimistic that the month of December is the most awaited month for crypto, but I think a back up plan it is still needed if ever the market by next month still didn't show good. We really don't know what will be the trend by next month and the unexpected price correction for Bitcoin and Eth are now taking place, and yet we didn't know when will it going to pump again, but yeah you're right this time is quite a perfect time to add asset to fill in our bags instead, in my case I have already fill my bags with Eth and Btc and now I am just waiting for a new ATH, hopefully.
Exactly. The market will always be unpredictable so we should anticipate now what will be our back up plan whenever the market remains bearish until 2021 ends. And since we don’t want to miss another opportunity, so better get ready with your funds and start filling your bags with bitcoin and those top and solid altcoins.  After all, we are here to gain huge profits so as early as now, start accumulating those coins that will be good for your portfolio. As long as the coins seem to be cheaper, just take advantage of every chances.
1765  Economy / Speculation / Re: How do you manage Bitcoin price now on: November 24, 2021, 11:46:00 PM
I will say the market has no direction now and so far we have seen a new ATH even if this is the highest Bitcoin can go for the year it's still a good profit for patient holders. To you how would you manage the price of Bitcoin now will you still risk the market or patiently wait for a new break-out on either side of the trend?
With regards to Bitcoin, I’m always willing to hold and take the risk even if there are so many negative news about Bitcoin in the past days, especially with regards to banning Bitcoin and the government trying to take Bitcoin down. We’re on the sideways and trying to stay above the support level but there’s a chance that we can enter into another bear market, just be ready for the and make a good strategy to still make money even on a bear market, Bitcoin will always rise.
We should deal with the risk as always or into the time that we do have set our foot into this market which means we had already anticipated for losses to come specially the market doesnt always mean that we are on an upward movement.We couldnt tell on how far a correction could go and each one of us does have different level of experience which means we do really have different decisions on certain conditions
which whether we do buy or simply wait for some opportunity.
  If we tend to buy, then i think this a good buying moment while bitcoin is still not surging its price. But for those who want to wait a little, i guess don't wait too long because we don't know if bitcoin will suddenly recover and reaches again above $60k so we lost another opportunity to buy.

However, despite all these uncertainties, i still manage to stay calm and continue hodling my coins because i know this correction won't stay for long. Eventually, things will be back to norman and we witness again new ATH for bitcoin and for those top altcoins.
1766  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What's your market prediction for the year end - 2021 on: November 24, 2021, 10:44:53 PM
It seems that there is a noticeable stability in the price of Bitcoin since the beginning of the nov, it may launch towards new highs in the coming weeks or it will slide to the bottom, so let's focus well on the price action.!!!
If the market declines again then we will do the necessary and wait for the right time to invest again!!

Its a good thing that we should be prepared whatever the market will be by the end of the year. But i still hope that it will be bullish because its not that its the trend every december, but its the best thing that the market can offer during this holidays.

However, since the price correction is not new to us, then we should all get used to it as we always know that there's always a rainbow once the rain is over. Hopefully, we can look forward to it before this year ends.

Same Here Buddy !

When I hear about crypto and blockchain, I told my friend that it would the next big thing but they make fun of it, that it is virtual thing, its gambling, govt. not supporting it. But know that came to me and ask

Hey, I wanna learn about crypto trading and investing, Guide me....


First they reject, when they know its potential then they start learning it...
It will always be hard at first for people to believe in you but once they start seeing that you are making huge profits from it, that's the time that they will start believing in you too. In short, people need proofs so they will believe in us.

However, crypto trading is now popular nowadays so even if people won't believe in us, they will still be reading it from the internet and even hearing other people who are also into crypto trading.
1768  Economy / Economics / Re: People tend not to move on: November 23, 2021, 09:37:18 PM
I know this isn't exactly the topic at hand here but I seem to move every 2-3 years and it's the worst thing ever lol.  I hate living in a big city that requires you to have to move so often for so many different things.  Anyways, I have moved from my home state of Illinois to Florida (americas weirdest state) which was quite far away. I never understood people who were afraid to try and move and change things up.  I did end up moving back to my home state, but it was more for family health reasons (well and Florida is filled with crazies).
The only reason that people are not moving and are not making changes because they always think that big opportunities are already in their homeland. When in fact there are other great opportunities that we can found and will create more positive changes in our lives once we decide to move and create changes. Although not in general, but for some people who always stick to what they call their only home, maybe they have their own reasons like health or maybe family matters wherein their presence should always be around.
1769  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: How to invest in cryptocurrency in the second half of 2021? on: November 23, 2021, 10:03:51 AM
If I want to make money quickly, is it slower to invest in BTC? Are there any recommendations for high-quality tokens in the NFT sector and GameFi? I like ten times, one hundred times the currency.
If you wanted to Make Money quickly , you must also understand that you can make your money lose quickly .the more you are aggressive and greedy is the more chances of losing it all.
NFT and GameFi is moving great this year but i don't think this will be a best option this year ender, why not look at top 5 coins instead?
Exactly. Wait for the right time to invest and you will have the right timing to make profits. Don't rush in making money as crypto investment does not give profits overnight. It will take time especially if you are only here to buy and hold your coins, and just wait for a perfect price to sell.

However, stick to bitcoin if you prefer good returns and maybe include those solid altcoins so you can diversify your portfolio for future profits.
1770  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if governments make Bitcoin centralized? on: November 23, 2021, 09:21:19 AM
It will bring huge impact in the price of bitcoin. It will became trusted a by many of the governments. The price of bitcoin is not purely on adopted altcoin.Can the centralization will bring new people to the investments of crypto tradings.If more people get into investments,the price of bitcoin will increase automatically and gives you more profit.

What will you do your profit if you don't have any control of it? do you know what decentralized actually is? Decentralized system means no one has control of your funds except you. If govt able to freeze your coin and seize your profit and take unnecessary tax then what you will do with your profit? Investors will never trust such kind of centralized system.
It doesn't mean that once we are in a centralized market we don't have control of our funds, it has been said that the government will take control of the price where they can pump and dump if they want. The only advantage of being in a decentralized state is that the market moves freely but because of the whale's participation, we are no longer that fully decentralized status, price can still be manipulated by them.
But in terms of security, it is too weak than being back-up by the government.

True, decentralized or centralized it may still be controlled, and currently, the government may not have the authority to centralize Bitcoin but it is definitely backed by whales, therefore, regardless whether if it is centralized or decentralized, the market and Bitcoin is still owned by the whales, I'd still go for a decentralized system but you can never rely on a single currency, the market is as huge as the ocean.
Yeah, the whales of the market holds a big volume of the entire bitcoin mined. This gives them the authority to have control over the market. At times the Whales manipulation makes the market look like an centralized platform. However beyond certain limit they weren't able to make big impact. The whales create disturbance, but it is the users who make the market go down or up based on the level of panic at times.
There will be big whales that are capable to manipulate the market, but the price of crypto coins will greatly depend on the community that are supporting it. And i don't think government will waste their time on controlling on such coins that are fully decentralized. It will never really happen because in the first place, bitcoin is decentralized so it will never come to the point of making it centralized.

However, bitcoin may be less decentralized in the future because of its massive adoption, but it will never be fully centralized in the making. Satoshi had made bitcoin for the sake of freedom that people don't have when it comes to controlling their own money.
1771  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Need advice regarding buying on: November 22, 2021, 09:58:56 PM
Now I don't buy anymore. I bought during the recent drop to 35 k, it was still a good chance, as for me.
But for me there is no way bitcoin can go down again to $35k during this decline, I know the correction now is quite deep but it won't be as severe as I imagined, of course the bounce can definitely come back again and we now only see it as a holiday season where many people need a lot of money.

I'm also a little patient to keep watching and analyzing when to buy at the right time during this decline, if it happened at $35k of course I would put my net.
That to believe that Investing Bitcoin or any coins during the bearish season is absolutely a good idea but the market has never seen it back like that again. I mean, we are still in bullish season, we might wait years to see it in bearish for that we take advantage of every price correction than to wait for the huge dump.
Most of our speculation the market went high until the end of this year. if we have the courage or guts to invest at the current price, it's up to you but if you're not, better to keep it and just wait. It is soon to come, just in needs patient but we don't have to expect too much.
The correction still continues and bitcoin even go down lower today. So i think this is another opportunity to buy bitcoin because its current price is already $56,231 and it may even go deeper in the next couple of days. Although we can't say that we are already bearish but considering the lower price of bitcoin today, its definitely a good time buy.

However, for those who have no plans of buying more, just hold your coins patiently. Eventually, the market will recover soon and we will see new ATH again not just for bitcoin, but even for good altcoins.
1772  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin run up is coming on: November 22, 2021, 09:08:05 AM
I've been reading what you wrote, it seemed like you were trying to say: "with all these problems I'm going to run to buy bitcoin" but then I saw this part:

I don't have the balls to buy bitcoin right now.

and I thought: he still doesn't believe in anything he wrote  Grin
I think OP there was a little conflict with how you express your thought. But i still chose to understand it on my own because i know your main goal is to start buying now while bitcoin is certainly experiencing a price fall.

However, there's no need really of a huge amount to start accumulating bitcoin now because even a small portion of it can be of great value in the future. So if you have an amount enough to buy a fraction of bitcoin, i think it will be good enough than just missing another opportunity again because you never bought bitcoin when it was still affordable, and all you will see in the future are those who take the risk will certainly enjoy their profits from bitcoin.

1773  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: correction or start of a bear market? on: November 21, 2021, 08:24:49 PM
I think its just correction because bitcoin only get small percentage of whole marketcap. The correction is to make another altcoin down bigger then btc. The bullish cycle is longer then 2017. Look at how btc price held. When its come to bear market the dump is bigger then now.

It will continues goes up in december following to Januari and february. Maybe we will see bear market at the end of 2022
Bearish season will mostly come after december so if it will still be the trend for this year, so there's no need to doubt either we are still in a correction or we are entering already the bear season.

For me, all i can say is that we are still in a correction at the moment so this is a good time to buy bitcoin and other good altcoins that have been dumping too so we can ride the bull run and enjoy the profits right after this. This correction even brings another opportunity to create a higher ATH for these solid coins as the price support will become stronger this time.

Odds seems to be in favour of the local guy, if you can call anyone local from NY. Vasyl, the Ucranian guy is a strong candidate and much harder in my view than others that have tried to get the title before, but beating a Japanese boxer is not really a credential is it? Richard Comey is at an advantage, at least psychological by playing in the US. And despite all that, still betting on Loma makes sense at current odds, as they seem to be too far on Richard's side. 
Whether where Loma will fight, he will always be the favorite to win, and it's not new to him fighting in the US as majority of his fights happen in the US, we can check his full fight records here https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/659771.

As per record, Commey has the experience and that is his only advantage as far as I can see, so I'm not surprised that Loma here is a heavy favorite.

What do you mean by scammer's wallet?
To be safe from scammer websites, of course, you must know the original website of the wallet you are using. Don't get caught up with phishing websites.
Reading news about scam wallet websites will not get you caught and fall into the trap. it is information to let you know that the wallets of scammers are numerous and dangerous. Do not click on websites carelessly, do not enter or give private keys to people or websites that are not convincing.
Most probably a phishing website because we will never know it's a scammers wallet until we get scammed. And besides, if we know it's a scammer's wallet, why would we send a certain amount to that wallet? And besides, anyone can easily make a fresh wallet that is not associated with scam transactions.

Now the loyalty of Romeo will be tested here. Will he accept the offer and eat the words that he said that he has a life debt to SMC or it will be the other way around.

Lets see how this one goes. Its starting to have an effect already. Many are expecting I think that this will have a domino effect not only for young players but for professional players in the PH as well and we don't know when this will end since it seems that Japan likes to get Filipino Imports Cheesy. He can accept this offer but his name might get affected but either way, its his decision to go there or stay. It will just be harder for him since he spit those words like "he has a life debt to SMC therefore, he will not accept any offers from there".

He doesn't need that loyalty; he needs the money Grin Roll Eyes with how things change in his life now, better to think for a much better future, his career will be more effective if he will play outside the country, I used to remember when the call for him to play for Gilas and the coaching staff just take it for granted, not saying that it's not SMB alone but for sure if that said offer is for real, he should grab it now.

He already gives SMB his best from the past games that he played. I'm sure seeing his teammates leaving will also affect his
decisions.

We will know once he or the SMB managements will announce anything about this rumor,.

Romeo should take that offer now that he is still healthy, once he is prone to injuries, that offer will be gone and he will stay in the PBA for the rest of his life, and just like Cabagnot and Santos, he will also be traded because the team will never be loyal to him, all they do is for the interest of their business, not their personal relationships to their players.

You have a very big target mate, I would already be so happy if I win $1000 in gambling and I'll gladly post it here so I will keep remembering that once in my life I won a good amount.

I'm afraid that my Slip will be laughed at by the community here, I'm afraid that they will say my son can win it, maybe if I can win a bigger bet, I will share here and tell my experience, how to achieve it all, be it in slot games, sports, joker and so on, but not guaranteeing when I can get $$$$$$.

I'm sorry, can't show Slip here, I'm embarrassed.

No one will laugh at you as everyone has their own range. As long as we gamble what we can afford to lose, I think that would already inspire the community. Don't worry, I'll put a bet in NBA tomorrow and if I win big, I might share it here.

1778  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Slot focast on: November 19, 2021, 11:15:50 AM
I think you misspelled the word forecast.

But according to the study, the house edge of a slot machine is around 5% to 10%, therefore there's no way you can win in the long run. This type of game is only good if you are lucky, or just trying to have fun, and that house edge will certainly make your forecast wrong most of the time.

Quote
The price is right
The house edge for slot machines typically falls between 5% and 10%, with most machines delivering a payback percentage in the 90% to 97% range. (If it's 90%, the casino's take—and the player's loss—is 10% of the coin in, for example.) But how can casino operators determine the best house advantage for their bottom line within that range? "It's really a pricing issue, because it's a unique product," said Lucas. "With real slots, the price isn't marked anywhere."


Source : https://arstechnica.com/science/2019/10/study-busts-popular-myth-that-gamblers-can-sense-differences-in-house-edge/
Thanks have corrected the misspelled words, but slot is based on skills even a 5% house edge is enough to make the players sufficiently equip with skills if not if a player depends on luck as you said it be practically impossible to win a slot game most especially when it against the house. But again if one is just playing for the fun of the game you can easily look away from the loses and continue to lose to the house edge. But if a probably fair system is in place a player may win sometimes.

They say it's based on skills but actually only gamblers who know how to cheat won the slots. Slots are programmed by computers, the house edge is high, therefore it's hard to convince me that it's won by skills. If Slots is based on skills then probably is also based on skills, a dice game has a 1% house edge and yet we are still losing in the long run.

^^ One thing about the Warriors is that you can't really count them out. When we think that they might lose against the Cavs, they come up big in the 4th, with Curry hitting those back to back 3's.

And then also put up a show on defense, just allowing the once hot Cavs to just 8 points in the 4th. You can really see what really happen in this game on the reaction from Kevin Love's face when the game is over. They let it slipped away.

And the most impressive part is that everyone contributed to a big comeback while they are making Curry take care of the points. I love to put a bet every time the warriors played, but this time I learned that live betting is also profitable especially if you bet on the Warriors when they are down.
1780  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Terence Crawford vs Shawn Porter - Nov. 20 on: November 19, 2021, 07:42:03 AM
^^ If he will be present on the fight itself, then it looks like the eye operation has been healing as scheduled.

So definitely that is the fight that we are also waiting to happen for years now, Crawford vs Spence or the unification of the welterweight division. But first, Crawford needs to get over Porter here in a spectacular fashion so that Arum will have no reason not to set up the fight next.

Arum waited too long to make it happen? I think if he wants to set up a fight between Crawford and Spence, they could have already arranged it before Spence meet a car accident. I have a feeling that Bob is trying to play safe as he is not sure if Crawford would win against Spence.

If Bob would always do that then most likely Crawford will not renew the contract with the top rank, it was reported that his contract will expire soon so he has a chance now to work with other promoters that could give him the fight that he is asking for. The job of the promoter is very crucial in building a fighter's career, but if it will result to not fighting the best, then it does not make a champion a real champion, if you know what I'm saying.

The truth has all the logic in the world, and I don't know, but in my opinion Crawford is clearly not satisfied with the work that his promoter has done, and maybe he wants some more action with another, also this life is one of opportunities, maybe there is a promoter who gives him the leap to greater fame, with better contacts and obviously with the search for better fights, this is something that every boxer looks for in order to have more fame, money and acceptance.


Exactly, because he is not making big money despite him being the number 1 pound for pound king in the past in the ring magazine ranking. Bob Arum is just too clever, he won't give Crawford a fight that he might likely lose as he wants to make him his cash cow even if he makes a small money as long as it's consistent, and Crawford as a boxer is criticize by that and he doesn't want that.
