So I was looking for the betting odds for Gergia vs Philippines but it's not yet available, maybe I'm too early because the game will be on July 4, 2024, so still few more days although the Olympic qualifier will commence on July 2. As i was checking, I see this article on the list of schedules. and also see the teams that are already qualified.

Quote
The winners of each OQT will join the eight teams already qualified for Paris 2024:

France
USA
Canada
Australia
South Sudan
Japan
Serbia
Germany

So Japan already in the list, it's the only Asian country that has qualified, who knows Philippines will be added.
Yes they are in the list because they have win games during the FIBA world cup.
This team have improved a lot since they already have 2 NBA players, Rui Hachimura and Yuta Watanabe.. while the Philippines at the present line up, we don't have any, unless Clarkson will play, but he'd rather not because the current Gilas team are doing well already.
Thanks for bringing up that important information. I only knew about Hachimura, but I've seen Watanabe before when he was playing with the Suns. I'm not sure where he is playing now.

Not having NBA players is not an issue for our team. The fact that we were able to compete against a strong team like Poland shows that we are ready for Georgia and Latvia. We know it's a tough battle, and the betting odds may say we are the heavy underdogs, but that's fine.

I agree to that though having Clarkson is something that may add offensive threats especially if they allow him not as naturalized but a native player and together with JBL that's something big for our team, he might change the tempo of the system but knowing coach Tim I'm sure respect is always be with him, facing the reality, the current National squad is fully equipt after seeing those exhibition games I also believe that the chance is possible for the team to make an upset.

Quote
Do you think we have a chance? (yes/no)

of course, just be optimistic, we might even qualify in the Olympics. Just trust Tim Cone as he'll do some magic.

It's good to know I have my fellow Filipino here believed on what Gilas can do. Yeah, let's surprise the world.

We all hope for the best and for sure CTC and the rest of PH nationals they will do evertything to make our country proud!

Yup, taking the risk and look if that strategy will work, if not then try a new sets of strategy that you may find that will work to increase your initial capital, I guess people who really loves experimenting their options always aimed for the betterment of  success not unless you are addicted or you are just playing to kill some time where you are not that much concern about the outcome but for those who are aiming to have a better result, they will look for it and try to keep adjusting and see if there's  a difference that will happen after changing their style of playing.
Finding a working strategy is the most difficult task, and in gambling it is difficult to find one that will work well, because exceptions are always possible. Of the possible options for earning money, gambling is definitely not the easiest for this, so I think that you need to earn money where it can be done more easily, and in gambling leave room for possible mistakes and losses, but do not try to make it a source of constant income.

I agree with you that a casino is a place that cannot be a source of permanent income. And the reason is simple: the casino is an endlessly self-improving mechanism. It consists of dozens of specialists in various fields, ranging from mathematics to information security, as well as psychologists.
They have long since devoured all the earning strategies for simple gamblers, leaving only a tiny chance of winning for the players.

That's reality, they put the bussiness having deeper knowledge about their edge and advantages, though in some cases due to luck a gambler may win decent amount of money but with how the business been set up, there are gamblers that may lose and cover whatever a lucky gambler take away from the house, and the cycle will continue.

Gambling business is a well established industry which really converting huge amount of profits coming from each gamblers who uses their services.

If you are not smart enough to wisely takeaway some profits when you got a chance, it will just go back if you keep playing, better to stop and quit away with your profits if given a chance.

We must be careful about money, if you are careful about money then there is no problem if people call you stingy because some people's job is to say bad things about others.
If you are frugal, you don't care what others say.  As you learn to be frugal you will surely learn to improve your situation. If you don't listen to the negative words of people in the society and change yourself, you will never be able to improve your situation. Money is the most precious thing to spend your life.  So money is definitely needed in every aspect of life.  If you can use money properly then you can definitely establish yourself.
No matter how rich you are, you need to be careful with your money because there may be times of danger. Nowadays everyone earns money but very few people care about their earned money. Because people spend their earned money in various bad ways due to which it is seen that they spend more than what they earn.

So we should be careful with our money and even keep it as savings for future so that in case of danger we can use that money and get out of our danger.

Kind of mentality where it's easy to spend their earned money comapred with saving it to make sure that they've got something if ever emergency things happen, I agree with your statement that most of those people who are earning money are more on spending it after they've recieved their earnings, not realizing that not every time you'll gonna earn, and what if you lose your source of income what will happen to you? kind of things that you need to prepare yourself, saving and investing will be the best option to make sure that you save something for your future.

It seems that we've got a new record for the highest contract in the NBA history and that goes to Jayson Tatum with a $314-m 5 year contract given by the Boston Celtics.

--> https://www.foxsports.com/stories/soccer/jayson-tatum-reportedly-agrees-largest-contract-nba-history-stay-celtics

That championship was worth it and had increased his value. He might not have the conference and finals MVP award but this is probably par or even more than that award.

Exactly a kind of rewards that more enough even he did not win the FMVP he deserves what he's gettting right now, him and Brown bring that title together the investment for both of them might bring more title to this franchise, on my personal take Boston really wanted to make sure that Tatum will stay and continue his quest.


As per Woj,



https://x.com/wojespn/status/1807844416163664317

End of splash brothers and the Dallas adding him looking for another championship run with Klay as their 3rd option. Not sure what the fans of the Warriors are going to react with this news. But obviously, they don't what Klay to moved out but it's business for this players and as we have seen, he has unfollowed the Warriors already in his social media account which indicate that he will definitely live.
klay really don't want to be bench maybe thats the reason he is struggling, steve is experimenting too much they started to fall apart after jp has been trade, they are running the play smoothly, its normal to not reach the playoffs and finals if almost all of the star players are injured every other games, certainly steve really want another ring and don't want to think via long term, GM's departure also added to the blow, he is responsible in making this team, while durant also rumors to go back to GSW which is a bit impossible, but we never know.

If they are unloading to free some cap maybe that rumor regarding to KD's coming back might take place, though we don't know till they announce it in public, but for now, all are rumors, but for me if Klay will be welcome to his new team and let him play with decent minutes for sure he can contribute decently.

It is very true, throughout my life and in my experience both in casinos and in trading I have Learned that when we are losing we should stop immediately, hence what many book authors say, that it is better to stop losses and extend profits, that is a fact, now, if we are people who always have what they call "hope" when we are losing , because it always happens that if we are losing we say, at any moment my luck can change, and most times it is not like that, hope is not something that applies to this, less when we play in a casino.



And most of the time, it's either aggression or frustration that follows, and the outcome will simply be against you, instead of recovering using that hope inside you, it turns out to be regret as you don't have any more money in your bankroll, most of the time this is the experienced of most gamblers  who forget about hard stop, they duel with hope that luck will be there and it will change their fate,.

Better to be practical and manage both your emotion and finances, doing that hard stop will give you that chance to enjoy especially if you are in positive side, it's wise to take the profits while it's still in your possession..

New technologies won't replace a thoroughly executed campaign realized by professionals.
Already businesses are withdrawing their AI support. As an example.
And Money is needed. Much less in Digital than in Print media. 

Now print media also has to continue to compete with digital media which generally has become a competition in terms of revenue. Because currently there are far more digital media users than print media users, so the current push for the development of any technology has become a special reason that everyone must be able to hone their skills in order to be able to use technology that can help them earn a better income and not defeated by people capable of creating change on a large scale.

Most of the business world today has also experienced many changes since technology has penetrated all corners of the world and can be quite suitable for any business world. So some large business owners have been able to cut their workers and replace them with technology such as the example of AI robots which continue to develop at this time.

Yeah that's one of the after effect of this new technology, manpower suffered as there are available AI's /systems that being generated to do the work, and with that, large campanies took advantages of that offer and it's really tough for people who are being affected, but there's always a way and if you are part of this kind of industry you need to adopt and work with any possibilities that will still connects you with this emerging technology.
107  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why do traders lose money in trading? on: July 01, 2024, 11:09:06 AM
Losing in money is normal in trading because what we are doing here is we are trying to outsmart each other and trade against the market which is very volatile to deal with. If you are a trader, you have to equip yourself with the right knowledge so you can be more profitable and of course expect losses along the way. What we can do is to minimize the number of our losses and have a good and realistic target profit.
It is true that knowledge is very important for us to analyze the market to get what we expect, but sometimes many novice traders do not use indicators available on the exchange such as SL or TP. In my opinion, this method is quite good if we use it to minimize quite large losses in this case, and it's best not to be too greedy if we get profits from trading, even though they are small, but if we do it regularly the results will certainly be big too.

Correct that balance between contentment and greediness is what we need to handle, even how small the profits if we continually doing it we might grow our balance positively, unlike with greediness where we keep aiming to earn big the backfall is instead of taking profits it will bounce back and let us lose our money.

There are people who use their knowledge to anticipate using patterns and indicators but they are mostly focus on how they control their own emotions while positioning their trades, it's very important to avoid losing a lot.

CP3 to the Spurs.
I guess that I was wrong with what I've said that wherever the wave is going to bring him, that he'll go there without thinking a lot and it's just for his remaining days in the league. Now, that's some extra vet really needed by the Spurs for Wemby.

I wouldn't be surprise if the Spurs will reach the playoffs next season.
CP3 love to play in a team that he can lead, and this is obviously the best team for him especially with Wemby being a guy who can dominate the paint and CP3 lob's to him would be so easy.

Great news for today, hopefully CP3's season will improve with this new team where no superstar (except the young Wemby).
And that's what the Spurs is lacking of, someone that can lead the team and with experience and age too. For sure that most of the players there are going to respect him. Compared to what with we've seen in the past that when Wemby's free and open and asking for the ball, he's not even given the pass.
At least the Spurs won't be pressured since they aren't currently a playoff team. With CP3 leading them and a good coach, the team should improve, as long as there's no problem with their chemistry. CP3 is probably the oldest on the roster, given that the Spurs are composed of young players. Now that they have an experienced and veteran PG, it's really exciting to see how they'll play next season.

With his experienced, he can share that to his young teamates and with the guidance of coach Pop I do see improvements for this team, though still not a contender with that current roster but as long as they will work it out with any adjustments and improvements that they need to work out, we might see them competing great this upcoming season.

Quote
While Paul George has signed with the Philly. His former teammate on the Clippers, James Harden will sign and go back to the Clippers with a 2-year $70 million contract.
Source: Reports: James Harden to return to Clippers on 2-year, $70 million deal[url]

PG's contract is huge, $212M for 4 years, that's $53 million per year, probably his biggest conract and he is blessed that after the serious injury he suffered he was able to come back and even improve his value.

Yup! after recovering from that injury, lucky for him that he can still sell his talents and sign a deal like that, but with that huge amount of money, the expectation is really high, hopefully Embiid will find that help that he needs.

Fear is a natural thing in my opinion where they will always feel anxious, especially when they first invest it will feel very very afraid of losing money.

But there is a difference between saving to save and saving in investment assets, this is a different concept where they will always be better off saving money because they feel that they are safe and the amount does not decrease but if they save in assets such as Crypto, Bitcoin or stocks people who do not understand their knowledge will be very afraid of losing money because the market moves fluctuate and what's worse is that they don't know that saving in fiat is far worse than an investment asset.

Not talking about success or not success but talking about whether or not they will survive the evil of FIAT.


I like that idea, without knowing that the value of money get lesser even you are not touching it due to inflation though the amount still the same but the value is not, if you understand how inflation works for sure you'll find ways to learn more about saving with investment, finding which assets will allow you to grow your money while you are keeping it.

More on understanding both the risk and potential as you will allow yourself to keep being positive if ever you take part in an investment that you pick to place your save money.

This is uncertain whether he will be able to earn the amount of money he lost by placing gambling bets in the future. Later he acted like a fool again by taking a loan and betting on gambling. I have lost gambling many times but later won but never won my lost money completely. I think you should only spend extra money on gambling because when you lose, the rest of the money will keep your family going. I have seen many people sell their wealth and gamble.

The first mistake a person getting into gambling can make is spending money that they have but aren't supposed to be gambled because they can't afford to lose it, and the second mistake they can make is taking a loan only to gamble with the borrowed money. You can't expect to take a loan, use the money for gambling, and win a lot of money from that.

A lot of gamblers think they will be able to get 2x or 3x of the borrowed funds and then repay what they have borrowed and keep the rest but in reality, it doesn't happen because gambling is not a way for anyone to earn money, it is not designed to make gamblers rich.

Someone should think of gambling as any other business. Why do we think are businesses started or created? To make money for their owners and not their customers.

That is the wrong concept thought by other gamblers—that they think they can double or triple their gambling capital. I remembered reading something here in the gambling section where a gambler thought he was going to get married, but he used the fund for the wedding first in gambling because he thought he could double it in gambling, and in the end, his money didn't happen. thinking that's why the marriage didn't work out. The worst part is that he was destroyed by the woman's family.

So, I hope this will be realized and become a lesson for the majority of crypto gambling players as much as possible. Then another thing: even if you are not addicted to gambling, if you are unlucky to lose, you will really lose in the casino where you are gambling.

Losing is really expected if you don't know how to control and balance both your finances and time, and if you have that kind of mentality where you are aiming for your money to grow chasing for the win but unfortunate things happened and it turned against you, there's should be a certain limits that will allow you to stop and keep you from getting addicted, if that kind of setup established inside you then the chance of enjoying and making some decent profits may take place.

Hindi nyo rin masisisi mga hater ni Bronny kasi mas may deserving talaga na mas ma draft kesa sa kanya. Ang nangyari kase ay parang politika, alam mo yun kapag malakas yung magulang mo e, malaki din yung anak mong manalo. Lalo na may health issue pa sya, kaya expected ko undrafted talaga tong si Bronny.

Ngayon ang kailangan nyang gawin ay patunayan nyang deserve nyang na draft sya. Madami rin naman naging all-star sa 2nd draft tulad ni Joker at Draymond.

Malay mo naman talaga diba sadya lang yung performance na pinakita ni Bronny para walang magka interest sa kanya at tuluyang makuha talaga sya ng Lakers.

Pero kidding aside sobrang obvious din naman talaga na di pa talaga sya handa at tiyak sobrang lala ng pressure na matatanggap nya dyan lalo na ka teammate nya pa talaga ang ama nya. Ewan kung kaya ba nyang gawin yung nagawa ni Draymond at achievement na nagawa ni Jokic dahil sobrang extraordinary na talaga yun. Pero baka din mag improve din naman sya lalo na kung ma train sya ng maayos. Pero kung di nya ma meet yung expectation ng mga tao at mag retire na si Lebron ay baka matanggal lang din sya agad dyan sa Lakers.

Mahirap din talaga patunayan yung isang bagay na hindi mo pa nga nasususbukan gawin eh nahatulan ka na, hahaha pero ganun talaga ang buhay advantage sa kanya kasi anak sya ni LeBron kumbaga may control talaga ang tatay nya sa patutunguhan nya pero hanggang kelan? yung pressure kasi nyan pag nagsimula na syang maglaro at yung sasabihin ng fans at haters, lalo na ngayon na nasa digital world na tayo na sobrang dali na lang manira kahit sabihin mong wag kang mag bukas ng mga social media accounts mo meron at meron pa rin makakarating na paninira sayo.

Break a big score that will allow a significant change in life for the better can even a person who first went to the casino. And a gambler who plays most of his life can die without waiting for such a win. Strategy, game experience or mascots can not affect the algorithm for the distribution of rewards. Therefore, there is no point in hoping that you will double the bankroll faster than losing all the money. Any gambler needs to learn to take what they give, even a little and be able to give what you came with without disappointment.

I understand that things are like that, but you know what I've discovered that sometimes we have to break some paradigms, I mean , sometimes I take 5 usd and if I bet them and double them in any game I bet those 5 usd that I won plus the 5 that I continue Betting from the Beginning , I mean I play with compound interest, I make 4 or 5 movements that way, when I increase that I leave it there, and that's how I increase my balance  , if for some reason I Initially lose the 5 usd or whatever I take 15 usd and I lose them, well I leave everything there, I call that my Experiment of the month, it's something that I do, I assume it and it's the way that I see that the balance can be Increased , taking risks Responsibly.


Yup, taking the risk and look if that strategy will work, if not then try a new sets of strategy that you may find that will work to increase your initial capital, I guess people who really loves experimenting their options always aimed for the betterment of  success not unless you are addicted or you are just playing to kill some time where you are not that much concern about the outcome but for those who are aiming to have a better result, they will look for it and try to keep adjusting and see if there's  a difference that will happen after changing their style of playing.

Most are rumors for Klay Thompson's new team.

Here is the take of the Golden State Warriors management as why they are preparing for his exit.
Warriors reportedly preparing for Klay Thompson's exit, with Lakers, Clippers and Mavericks among suitors
https://sports.yahoo.com/warriors-reportedly-preparing-for-klay-thompsons-exit-with-lakers-clippers-and-mavericks-among-suitors-214609901.html

Quote
The Warriors have reportedly had close to zero communication over the past two weeks, when they had a window to exclusively negotiate his return. Both sides now believe Thompson's tenure in the Bay Area is over.

Also.
Quote
The Warriors are also reportedly open to facilitating a sign-and-trade.
I think this is the better option for him. Get a good contract with the Warriors and be traded. I bet many teams are trying to get him but they won't pay high enough for a 34-year-old dude whose performance has been affected by so many injuries.
He ain't Kevin Durant caliber although he has 4 championship rings and that's the reason why he might not get a contract that maybe he is expecting way too much.
The Lakers are said to offer him a midlevel salary and I doubt he will accept that especially if he has the pride of a champion.
Let's see how this news will end up.

He's been affected by those injuries and he's aging and we know NBA is a business even how good you are if you are not performing that much anymore then expect that the team will their move to trade you, there's no more pride and I guess if there's already rumors maybe his camp is also sorting their options and sooner they will provide updates regarding to what will be his fate on this league.

I follow you with your opinion even he got 4 rings but his caliber is not the same with KD, let see if which team he will play next.
114  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why do traders lose money in trading? on: June 29, 2024, 07:57:58 PM
I guess for me, the very basic reason why a lot of traders lose money in trading simply because they fail to execute the most basic trading strategy, sell at a price higher than the buying price. Probably because not all traders are real traders in the market, some are just self-acclaimed and just own the title without having proofs. This boils down to the realization that some traders are not well educated and not well aware how trading works. But mostly, only greed and fear matter to them.
Yeah, trading is not as easy as some people might think it is, and most traders these days aren't actual traders but are newbies who hear about trading and how much profit it can potentially provide and they get into it without any knowledge or doing any research and end up losing money.

Such traders don't follow the right approach for trading which is to first gain enough knowledge about trading and the market, do practice your knowledge with demo modes to see if your strategies and knowledge you've got are working well, and then get into real trading using a small portion of the capital so that in case things don't work out, not a lot of money is wasted and then the trader should reevaluate the process and improve what's causing issues.

A step by step pocess to make yourself familiar with how the market works, that kind of practice will help you to established good strategy and not just to step inside and throw your money, getting your point it's best to have that deeper inderstanding with how trading works before inveting your money.

It helps you to pevent making big mistake and lose what you can't afford to let go, most traders who quickly decide to trade without investing with their knowledge ends  up losing a lot.

115  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The real winning of gambling is withdrawals on: June 29, 2024, 07:30:53 PM
The fact is that if you don’t withdraw money and don’t spend at least the minimum winnings, then everything turns out in vain, there won’t be any good memories left, only the emotions that the player received thanks to the casino, this to some extent reminds me of people who are dependent on emotions, I would I even dared to call them emotional addicts.

The main thing here is even in the withdrawal process itself, no matter what amount, even if it is very small, but it will allow you to feel your winnings, even if it is the purchase of chewing gum)) Still, a player, as an ordinary person, sometimes needs to reward himself, to feel the joy of this event, otherwise why live at all if you don’t enjoy the rewards and every day you live.
This is how important it is for us to think clearly and restrain our selfishness from playing again when we win a fairly large amount of money in a gambling game, if we don't do it, only regret will always haunt you all the time, indeed the main victory in gambling itself is to stop . It is true that you are experiencing good luck that day, but you must not be egotistical or careless in this matter. If you stop for a moment, I think it's much better than playing again. You can enjoy the results you get from the game you play and you can continue again in the future if your mind is fresh again.

You can enjoy the result and allow yourself to celebrate after quitting the game, instead of pushing forward and aim for much bigger earnings which most of the time only leads you to lose it back to the house, if you have that capabilities to make a hard stop it will allow you to think wisely and withdraw your profits.

It's applicable that withdrawing your money is such a kind of winning especially if you manage to win decently and quit after.

I agree, this is better than what we're expecting and as this tune up game really will help the Gilas to experience further and more adjustments to come before the actual Olympic qualifying games. The roster is perfect and if there are negative comments from the fans, just don't be distracted with that. The team, the coaching staff and the players are all doing their best and they're actually doing a good job, they are there to win and they want it badly just as how we fans and kababayans want it.

This is indeed the reality, more than the fans, it's the players and the managements who wanted to win badly, they are playing to make the country proud, and with what we are witnessing right now, they are in the right directions just some adjustments that needed in terms of defense especially those big man who are playing outside that adjustments is really needed to fill out, we need those young stars to use their speed to rotate they need cover those defense if ever JMF or Kai has been outrun those young star like KQ or KT both have the height who can give that tight defense for those outside shots.
Our shooters need to be sharp and for the defense, they need to attend to that because it's known that most teams have got their best shooters. Or a harder opponent is that most of their players can shoot outside. And with that, they need to take note of that which is surely on their books already, just a good rotation and can't deny that this version of Gilas is doing it. <3

Yup, and they show it up very close game against Poland almost a win but fell short of time only 2 points but PH National give a hard fought and for sure Poland got surprise with how the Nationals take the challenge, a very close game and an almost a blowout but that last minute rally really give some hope lucky for those  bettors as if I heard it right handicap is +12.5 or more not really sure.

So the Philippines will have their last tune-up game against Poland, which is ranked number 15 in the FIBA world rankings and considered a stronger team than Turkey. If Gilas has learned from their previous game, they should perform better this time. If they can make it a close and interesting game, I believe their chances against Georgia and Latvia will be promising.

So the game will be tomorrow but in order to be able to watch it, we need to be awake by ;

They gave it all and almost upset Poland, just fell short of time but it really an interesting game for PH Nationals, the adjustments are working for them and the rotation gives them the game play that they needed, hopefully they will continue to developed and bring this type of game system in an actual game for the qualifying match.
117  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Committing mistakes helps us to become a responsible gambler. on: June 29, 2024, 06:50:44 PM
The learning experience that you acquire during those previous days that you mistakenly mismanaged your finances gives you that idea not to push when you already being controlled by your emotions,  instead of playing more better to stop and quit, it's a good practice where it avoids you from following that urges which most of the time leads you from adding more money to lose.

If you know when to stop or pause for a while it gives your brain time to adjust and reassess the situation,  though some experience gamblers makes a hard stop and not to visit the casino for several days to make sure that they are fully organized when playing again.
But it is so unfortunate that most gamblers don't learn from their experiences and mistakes in gambling , it seem s the more they play gambling they never recognised their mistakes in gambling and they still continue with the manner they play gambling.  For those who can be able to ammend their ways in playing gambling,  it is a good one. For me I expect when something is not favouring someone or it is affecting someone in one way or the other their is needs for adjustment but some gamblers don't understand this, like some people who Normally use the amount that they can afford to play even when they still lose they still repeat the same mistakes like this.

Yeah right, as even they already knew the possible outcome if they push forward they choose to continue looking for luck to back them up, end result still the same and then again they will regret, it's a never ending cycle not unless a gambler acknowledge that mistake and try to find ways to prevent things to happen, like having a limitation and making sure that they can do a hardstop preventing to suffer with the same mistake again.

It's more on controlling yourself and limiting your bakroll, once you manage to balance it, chance to make something good in return may happen to you.

Learning about investment before deciding to invest is of course very good because they will be able to organize a good plan before deciding to invest because by having a good plan this will of course run well and can generate profits from running the investment. and dividing the funds that we will invest and also funds for emergency needs is of course very important because with these funds we certainly don't have to take the funds that we have invested so that we can still carry out investments and can look forward to the targets that we have set for the investments that we carry out.
Understanding investment is actually not that complicated for anyone as long as everyone is willing to learn to know what assets are worth investing in and what funds are more suitable for use in certain investments. You don't need to say this in a complicated way because it will also make it more difficult for you to understand it yourself, even though everyone only needs to know the right moment to invest and also the right assets for investment. As for the funds, of course this is something that must be prepared specifically before we carry out the plan.

Your willingness to learn is a key factor to succeed, now that technology gives us a good access to information you can do your research and study whatever venue of investment you are willing to take part, you are right in terms of conditioning your mindset you need to be positive not complicate things, that's the best thing to do when you are in the process of finding the right investment.

ALong the way, you will find what is suit to you just need a little push and carefully analyze your potential and with your hard work there's always a chance to succeed.

In the last two months of her employment, the 28-year-old stole money from four customers, with the thefts only being discovered when one of them queried receiving a letter about money being withdrawn from a dormant account.
TSB Bank teller stole $28,000 from customers to feed her gambling addiction

How far do people go to feed a gambling addiction?

In this story we have a young bank teller, 28 years old lady, who stole 28,000$ from four different elders who were suffering from health and cognitive problems. Her goal was to fuel a gambling addiction, as presented by the defense at the court.

Families must be attentive to their elders when going to the bank and dealing with money in general. Scammers and thieves are everywhere and always ready to take advantage of the vulnerability of such individuals at an advanced age.
Stealing is already wrong, doing so for a gambling addiction is even more wrong and stealing from a sector of the population that is vulnerable is even worse, however if that was not enough, it is not clear if she was mandated to serve any time on jail which is preposterous, it really bothers me that whenever white-collar crimes are committed jail time is not guaranteed or a very short sentence is given, when we have seen many cases of people committing suicide because of the money lost, and in my opinion those deaths should be directly attributed to those that stole that money and they should be judged accordingly.

All because of gambling addiction or if ever just a little benefit of a doubt most are because of her addiction that's why he commit this she thinks that she got that opportunities to keep her gambling addiction while using other's money, though for sure she knows the risk as she's not innocent with the crime that she did, but due to her gambling addiction it leads her to push and continue her wrong doing, she will serve her punishment after discovering her crime.

It's important to keep an eye with those old folks especially if we do have relatives or someone close to us, with this it's a good eye opener not to completely entrust your savings or your love one's saving to the bank.

Gambling depends on luck but here we also have to adopt some strategies. some gambling games can be won by using some possible strategies. But we cannot be patient. I get panicked very quickly due to which I have to lose gambling most of the time. In this case we blame the gambling sites, because we think the gambling sites cheated us. Still we gamble again and again because the gambling sites force us to continue gambling through different strategies and we also make a mistake that we cannot keep ourselves under control so we have to lose a lot.
We shouldn't be too hasty in gambling, just play casually. It is true that patience can determine our results in every round we play. If you can't control your emotions or yourself when playing, of course you will lose a lot of money there.

It's not the gambling site that forces us to play again, we ourselves force us to play again. we can't blame the site completely because before playing we already knew this. In my opinion, gambling sites are just a place, but they are much smarter than the people who gamble, they arrange the types of games in such a way that they are interesting so that the gamblers look comfortable and feel at home there for a long, there are some whose algorithms have been regulated by gambling sites such as game machines and the like.
I don't understand how comfortable it is that in every second and every minute, our initial money is eaten away bit by bit and it has no stop by any of our efforts, especially trying to get in the way of this gnawing, it breaks out deeper and bigger bites, eventually it becomes an hourglass, the sand flows stronger and there is no longer a chance to overturn it. If there is an algorithm and there are unfavorable numbers for betting, patience really cannot defeat such natural and fixed nature, the game should be changed by abandoning patience and being comfortable with such an ending

A kind of gesture that you need to have when you are involve in this kind of situation, better to accept the defeat instead of continuing and seeing that your initial bankroll is already beed eaten by the house, same with your sentiment patience can't handle it and there's no other way but to accept your fate and stop the bleeding completely by quitting away.

It's better than seeing all your money being sucked up and you can't do anything, better to lose a little than trying to recover then lose everything.
