1001  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: March 06, 2024, 12:10:53 PM

What a comeback by the Cavs against the league best Celtics!!!
Down 22 points in the final quarter and then going from 71:93 to 103:99, that's actually insane!

At betfair or some site where you can get super high odds I think odds of 500:1 or even more must have been sold, at least a bit.

Well, never give up is kinda fitting here. Just WOW.

Yeah! crazy turnaround and the rally was led by someone who's everyone is not expecting, Dean Wade turned into D-Wade as the NBA announcer described it lol. It took him a lot of confidence shooting those 3s in the 4th and lucky he was feeling it, that's what Dean Wade told the media in the post game interview. Well, I hope nothing but for him to be consistent and earn more minutes. The Cavs might gonna use his ability on the coming games moving forward.
With that kind of odds, there might be a lot of people who put a bet on the Cavs since this team isn't a bad team this season sitting at the 3rd spot in the East, and these people might be overwhelmed by the outcome today. No words to express how lucky these people are, but WOW!

Celtics won't forget Dean Wade,  Grin. They are on the roll early, and just like what they did to the previous champion Warriors, they put on a offensive barrage. However, the Cavs are on a different mindset, brother Kelce's are watching and so they have to do something about this game and turn it around.

So the Celtics next opponent is the Nuggets. I think this is going to be a very close match, both are coming from a L. And they want to maintain their record specially the Nuggets who are fighting to the best record in the West. While the Celtics will have to move forward and start a new winning streak.

While for sure those who are trying to sort this game during the live event may have that mindset that Boston will again make another blowout win, taking the handicap and wait for the outcome, lucky for those who sided for the Cavs handicappers and especially for those who took the ML while Boston is in control early minute of the 4th, for sure that's a big risk that they'll taking but big nerve gambler can take it and now enjoying whoever they are who manage to place their bets.(Not a big fan of too much risk..hehehe)

Alperen Sengun just put up numbers that no center in history has done before against Wemby. At the same time he held Wemby to 10 points. Every once in a while somebody really exposes Wemby for being young and thin. Tonight was one of those nights. Wemby is still having a hell of a year though and my pick for rookie of the year.
Alperen Sengun said it himself actually: He said Wemby is too tall but not strong yet. He was able to use his shoulders and got around Wemby. And when Spurs didn't double team him, he could score this great. This season, opponents of Rockets usually double teams Alperen Sengun but Popovich chose not to do that and paid for this mistake handsomely. Wemby could block couple of his shots but Alperen was much better overall.
I guess this would be another weakness of Wemby that other teams might explore. Sengun is not really an extraordinary player, although he's been doing impressive stats this season but he is not included in the MVP conversation yet. Getting    45 points and 16 rebounds against Wemby, that's completely a mismatch and Spurs unfortunately have not made the right adjustment to that.

Quote
And Alperen is still so young. Only 21 years and 220 days. He is actually almost 2 months younger than Chet Holmgren.
He is a superstar in the making, thanks to their new coach that they were able to utilize his real talent.

if we look at his previous stats. there was a huge jump in his PPG every season.

9.6, 14.8 and 21.3 this season.

https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/s/sengual01.html

It's the system that gives each players that same chances to showcase their talents, lucky for Alperen that he's being sorrounded by players who can work with the system and a coach who really knows how to execute their design plays, I agree with you he's a superstar in the making, just need to take care of his health and hopefully not to suffer to any major injury, there are many opportunities if he continue to play harder.

Tomorrow, another familiar teams will be facing.

In the first game, it's Bossing vs Converge, and the second game is Bolts vs NLEX. This is looking like teams have been shortened in numbers. I hope these times are not yet tired for playing a lot while other teams are still resting. Since we've seen them play in the past few days, then I think it would be easier to select the winner, or the trend will continue, which is one team is down big time in the first half, but they will have a big run in the 2nd half to win the game.

The first game has been concluded and Northport beat Converge. Now the 2nd game has just started, NLEX vs Bolts, I think i'm going for NLEX here as I like them not a lot of hesitation, if they are shooting well especially from the outside, this should be an easy win for them. I'm wondering why they are heavily underdog, currently at +5.5, but it doesn't matter I'm still gonna take the moneyline.

I think that's a typo error but yes Converge losses another game, while Bossing have their 3rd straight win, a very balance scoring for the top seeded squad, I like how coach Jeff manage to balance the rotation and with how good they are executing the system seems that we might see them continuing this streak, hoping that it's not just to hype up this team but a real competitor for this season, though we haven't seen any SMC group to play for this season and knowing how they composed their squad will be a big challenge for the Bossing.

If they can win from one of those 3 super team maybe we can say now that this rebuilding really helps them to be a competitive squad, hopefully they will continue and will bring that kind of competition for the fans to start gaining curiosity if why they are getting this good outcome.

Bias to say but I'm also start watching clips as I'm one of those solid fan of James Yap, I know he still got something though not that same level but giving him enough time and exposure he can still bring that deligthment to his fans.
1003  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe in gambling experts predictions? on: March 05, 2024, 09:42:39 PM
While I see almost nobody here trust expert predictions, however a person most likely would place a bet on a result his friend or someone close to sport will tell him. Even though we understand the outcome is still dependable from random, if a someone (not even an expert) tells that this team or player might win, a person will have a thought to place a bet based on that prediction. That is the trick of humans nature, to be greedy and cautious at the same time.
When we place a bet on a prediction that our friend made, of course we have to be able to accept if there is a loss in the bet and if it is possible to win then we have to be able to share the winnings that we get from the bet they made that prediction, but we must first know whether Indeed, our friends can make accurate predictions or they just say whatever they like, not based on the analysis they make, of course we don't have to place bets on the predictions they make.

There's no assurance that the bet will win even how close we are to the person, a friend trust may work and it may allow us to accept if ever the bet losses and if ever you manage to win  sharing is not bad, as there are many more bets that you may work together,  but along the way  its going to be depend upon your own analysis,  if you fully trust the person and you are willing to share your money in case some luck comes your way, acceptance  might be the key factor  and each individual have different perspectives on how they'll take this, either they are willing to risk their money with the help of someone or they are just going to take their own ways of gambling.
1004  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If a addict lives within, which method would you choose to help them on: March 05, 2024, 08:35:56 PM
If an addict lives with me, I would make him a bet he cant fulfil or win Cheesy I will try to trick him with "I bet you will able not to gamble for half a year" (actually any long period would do, but the longer the better). Will announce a solid price and wait to see how he will try to self cure. This might sound silly, but I think this might be helpful and do the trick. And I will repeat that few times. The effect will be unnoticeable from first glance, but it will at least train that person for self control.
You may try to trick him with such challenge but he can trick you back by pretending to not gambling at all but in fact he is still gambling because you cant monitor him 24/7 even for a day.
How will you know that he is not gambling at all, because it is impossible if you can control his money as it is something personal/privacy.
Addicted gamblers will not care about such challenge unless you offer something really huge (an amount that he never own/won before) if he can do the challenge.


Exactly,  an addicted gambler can also trick you while trying tricking them, they have all the lies inside them  as the only thing matters is to gamble,  and the way you are trying attempt helping them will be seen as option that will allow them to continue what they want, still gamble even the condition is not do so, at the end of the time frame in case they managed to win they can just take your money and go back to whatever type of gambling that they involve,  as simple as that since they knew that you are serious in giving them the reward else, they will not agree if they know that you don't have that seriousness inside you 😉

Balik tayo sa mga games medyo hirap talaga makasipat, pero tuloy tuloy lang siguro or pahiyang muna kahit paisa isa para makabalik lang sa balasa hahaha..

At ayon nakasilat ako ng isa kanina sa OKC laban sa Phoenix. Medyo kinabahan nga lang nung nakuha pa ng Suns habulin ang 20+ na lead at nagkaroon rin ng lead. Buti na lang bumalik yung momentum sa OKC sa late minutes ng laro. Iba talaga OKC, mas bata kaya mas mabilis din. Daming turnovers ng Phoenix.

Yun nga yung malaking advantage ng OKC kasi ready silang makipagtakbuhan at gaya nga ng sinabi mga bata at mahahaba tapos ready pang makipag banggaan kahit na medyo masakit na kalaban ang Suns, congrats kabayan nakadale ka pala dito masarap sarap yung ML nito not sure lang kung x2 kasi wala si Booker.

Bai @Baofeng alat din ako lately  kaya tahimik. Cheesy Snipe muna ako sa mga maswerte dito. Pero mukhang tahimik dahil siguro Sunday.

Alam mo naman pag weekends tayo medyo pahinga muna hehehe.

Grabe ang ginawa ng Boston ngayon sa Warriors tinambakan ng 50 points at katulad ng sabi ko, sobra sobra talaga ang Celtics ngayon. Full 8 games ahead at parang ang hirap talunin lalo na sa homecourt nila.

Pero tatandaan to ng Warriors hehhe, babawi tiyak kung hindi sa Boston sa ibang team at tatambakan to, kaya abangan nyo na ang Warriors at tayaan nyo.

Parang may hugot yung ginawa ng Boston kanina sa GSW. Pero okay na rin yun, pangboost ng morale at psychological din. Nung December yata yun, galing winstreak Boston pero biglang nahabol ng GSW at natalo pa. At natalo rin Boston sa finals laban GSW.

Parang naipon yung galit hahaha, after silang talunin sa finals nung mga nakaraan taon tapos yung sinasabi mong pagkasilat sa kanila
ng Warriors, ngayon walang sinayang na pagkakataon talagang binaon at hindi na pinapalag pa yung Warriors.
1006  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling mistake repeated by the gamblers on: March 05, 2024, 01:24:37 PM
I agree with you. Most unwise gamblers often want to win even more. They are very greedy and aim for wins with a multiplier of tens of times. You can see how greedy gamblers aim for the jackpot. They spend their money just to hit the jackpot. Even though this will make you lose your money again and again. And ultimately it will destroy their lives. I think someone needs to regulate their emotions and be able to limit themselves in gambling before deciding to gamble. Because what is most dangerous about gambling is that you will become addicted if you cannot play wisely.
Everyone wants to win and that's why it is making us more excited because what we want to do is to win some more even if we've already won.

Those unwise gamblers, when they've won, they won't keep their profit sand instead, they're gambling more and never take their profits or bankroll just to keep it safe. That's what greediness can do to any gambler when they're not oriented or planned with what they must do upon gambling.

The emotions are high when they've been winning but then it gets lower when they start to feel that they are not doing any good because of their wrong decisions and mistakes. It only takes to keep a portion of profit but they can't even do that.

That's common and there are lots of gamblers who really lose their money as instead of quitting while having that decent amount of money they push and aim for more, I think a common errror that most gamblers encounter and suffer, those who understand the risk and have that good anticipation of a possible outcome they will quit their way and take that winning amount to enjoy.

But only few can do that and most of the time they will keep repeating that same error and find themselves committing same mistake and lose their money instead of just enjoying and be entertained, they see themselves regretting.

It could also be the genetics, and I will say that he is a genetic abnormally because even at his age, he is not slowing down just like the rest of the players and as if he is still in his prime and no one can even get close to the records that he has put. For $1 million? yeah it really pays off, he can spend that big money on his body as he is one of the highest paid athlete in the NBA today. And probably even in off season, he still take care of his body unlike others let's say his contemporary in Carmelo Anthony, so is not known to go in the gym but just rely on this pure talent. But we've seen that his game deteriorated when he is no longer in his prime.

He invest and he's harvesting everything now, that amount that he use for paying his health is far from what he's getting now, once in a lifetime kind of an animal who played the game, at his age and still having that kind of capabilities, still can beat anyone if he'll push his way  and try to make a score, it's something that this industry will really treasure and if not all for sure most will give credit to this man.


Yes he is gifted but at the same time he is also very discipline, that's the reason why despite of his age he is still dominant. For a superstar that has a lot of money to spend on things, he knows how to manage his finances, as other irresponsible stars might just abuse their body like partying with friends and spending their money to enjoy life.

Lebron is quite differnet, he is an inspiration to aspiring players that in this kind of sports, even if a player is aging, as long as they know how to take care of their body, they can still play and be paid with a decent salary.

I agree to that, discipline is the best definition of what he did to take care of his career and he really use that to continue his good career up to know, recieving huge amount of money though not that same level but he's name still up there and commercials and ads can still help the team to bring good benefits.
1008  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: March 05, 2024, 10:19:30 AM
This is another surprising outcome. I thought that Converge already had control of the game, but they ended up losing. Another overtime game this season and I think this is the 3rd time already I witnessed an overtime game. Northport managed to beat Converge 104-112, just unbelievable. Are they rigging this? Grin

Anyway, great game by Tolentino who finished with 31 points despite his struggle from beyond the arc.

Tolentino has now become the star player of Northport, but let's watch out for a possible trade in the future as that could happen since Northport are not a championship team and they can easily give up their star player.

Some players we are seeing in NLEX now came from Northport, Anthony and Bollick is  now leading the NLEX... Also, before there was Romeo and Pringle, but now they are in the SMB team. So even if this team (Northport) will improve, they will not become a championship team.

When Pringle and TR7 was playing with them they are making their way to be competitive if I remember it right they manage to right the playoffs but lost against Alaska, and just like what you mentioned, maybe Tolentino is showingsome game but we know this team serving as a farm team maybe we might see Tolentino playing with SMC group just like how TR7 and Pringle they both been traded and enjoy the benefits of that trade, and just noting Tolentino was a part of Gin kings before he has been traded with the way he's showing interest may rise again from boss Al', just a call away and he might set it up to one of his teams.

Naku! Mawawala na credibilidad nya as influencer kung ganyan yung nangyari sa kanya. Parang nakikita ko nga din na hugas kamay para abswelto kasi nga self proclaimed expert sya about investment eh lalo na sa crypto napapanuod ko pa mga video interviews nya dati tapos nahuhulog din pala sa ganyang scam diba? Parang something fishy naman kung ganun.
Nakakatawa nga na meron siyang kredibilidad sa una pa lang eh, mantakin mo nanghihikayat siya ng iba na mag-invest eh hindi naman siya licensed na financial advisor tapos influencer pa, kelan pa naging credible na source ng trading information yung mga influencer? Ang goal nila ay mahikayat lang kayo at makakuha ng pera mula sayo o di naman kaya ay mabenta nila yung mga pinopromote nilang produkto. Hindi naman din kasi immune yung mga ganyan sa scam, tandaan natin na ang mga scam ay nag-iimprove din kasabay ng technology kaya kung hindi ka updated sa mga bagong paraan kung pano ka nila niloloko ay tiyak na tataas tsansa mo na mabiktima talaga, naiisip ko sa ganyan din ay nasilaw sila sa ROI o pangako na kita at tubo sa investment namin kaya pumalag na sila sa investment tapos smooth talker din siguro yung scammer at ayun, disaster talaga.

     Oo, tama ka at totoo din yang sinasabi mo, yung mga pamamaraan ng mga scammer ngayon ay naglevel up din kung ang teknology natin ay naglevel up. Hindi na kasi uubra yung old ways nila. kung kaya sa new ways din sila gagamit ng trick to find a victim din sa totoo lang. Ewan ko ba kung bakit may mga ganyang tao, tapos ang nagtetrend naman ngayon yung ibang mga networker na feeling ang gagaling at feeling milyonaryo na hindi na hindi na talaga.

     Katulad nalang ni Franklin Miano na isa ding networker style din ang ginagawa at panlilinlang ginagawa sa mga viewers nya, at yung lagi nyang tanung na
"Diploma o Diskarte" na kung saan mas lalong lumabas ang pagka obob nya at sinungaling. Kaparehas lang din ni favis na sa huli magtatanung ng magic word nila palaging
" OPEN MINDED KABA" hahaha...

Syempre inaaral din ng mga scammer yung makabagong pamamaraan, mahirap yang issue ni Favis kasi malakihan na yan damay talaga sya dyan sa issue kasi kung totoo man na na-scam lang din sya eh ung mga dinamay nya lalo na yung mga taong nasa likod nf 22M na investment malamang sa malamang bago yung naglabas ng pera eh talagang inusisa nila si Favis kung talaga bang inaral at kumbinsido sya na kikita yung nilabas na pera, pero syempre hindi natin malalaman kung anoman yung totoo baka scripted pero malamang sa malamang NBI at Tulfo yan pag nagkamali sya ng akusasyon eh lalo syang malalagay sa peligro.

Gusto kon yung sinabi nung nasa itaas na post, hindi naman porke influencer ka eh legit finacial advisor ka na agad inaaral din kasi talaga yan hindi lang ayon sa nasagap na balita sa internet or kung kanino mang stream channels eh papalabasin mo agad na magkakatotoo or dapat suportahan yung investment, dyan madalas nangyayari yung fomo at scam ng mga developers.
1010  Other / Off-topic / Re: Keeping your gambling habit a secret. on: March 04, 2024, 12:44:03 PM
It is crucial that we speak with them at the beginning so that they are aware of our activities and the kinds of vices or hobbies we indulge in. After all, there are no secrets that should remain hidden. We shall know what will happen at the end, which is why there are always regrets. What will happen when we cross our boundaries and engage in undesirable behavior, such as getting debt from gambling, because we will become used to it? Even when we bring problems to ourselves, our family and loved ones are the ones who support us and help us find solutions. Sometimes, they even become involved as a result of our careless and dumb behavior.
This is the main reason I would never advise anyone to be ever ashamed, scared or for any other reasons keep any habits a secret especially gambling because when the state of addiction, desperation or any gambling bad habits is popping in, we can't see it earlier but others do.
Also I can't hide anything I love just because of Fear or being scared of speaking about it to those around me
If you are afraid that your gambling habit cannot be controlled, you need someone to remind you of this because after experiencing an addiction to gambling and you cannot control yourself from gambling, of course this will make you experience financial problems which can make you unable to fulfill your needs. about the needs you need and this really depends on a person's personality, but people who don't want their gambling habits to be known by other people certainly have different reasons to what you have mentioned.

Yeah right, if you don't want to have that deep engagement that you can't no longer control better to have someone who knows your participation, from that point, there's someone who can remind you if you already exceeding too much and if you need some pause to rest out and re-assess your gambling activities, it helps you a lot in order to work your way to prevent getting involve that hard and become addicted which can cause you a lot of troubles.

Your decision making really matters and it will help you to find your confidence to allow someone to know about your gambling and how you deal with it.

Set your expectation together with the strategy and limitation which you share along with the person you trust that will help you to limit and not to continually exceed and lost a lot.
1011  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Behavioral Change!!! on: March 04, 2024, 11:46:57 AM
Generally, those who gamble, if they can win money, then they are happy in their minds. People lose twice as much money as they get from gambling. Gambling Usually people who have billions of money may not have any problem if they lose a lot of money due to temporary gambling but middle class family people who play gambling as an addiction will have a lot of trouble to make up the money they lose. So people of such family never have to gamble. If middle class family people are addicted to gambling then their family has to suffer because of gambling usually there is no peace and happiness in any family.

If a wealthy person becomes addicted and plays gambling irresponsibly he will likely become broke, except he realizes himself earlier and see the destruction that it will lead to. So all class of person will go broke if they irresponsibly play gamble, majority of the time, we loss more than our winning, but the few wins in which we get from gambling  makes us excited and at that moment we forget about all the losses in which we have encountered during our gambling.

Those who are wealthy are smart enough not to gamble all the money. Otherwise they will never became wealthy. Dont think that wealthy people are stupid and would continue gambling when they see they have already lost a lot. They gamble for different reasons than those who are poor and gamble. However, their behavior is more stable (dont know the proper word). They will show less emotions if they win or lose. Of course there are individuals in each category of people, but wealthy people are more responsible gamblers.

We can't generalize but I do agree that those who are already wealthy knew how to handle gambling if not all most of them is not dumb who will allow losing their hard earned money, same with you, most of them are only playing on some cases or reason to give some pleasure or kill some time, they are not really engage to seek for money, though again can't generalize as there are wealthy individuals who are well known to have engagement with gambling and they are really killing it.

End of the day, behavioral changes depends from how you handle your gambling participations, if you lose there's regret and mood swing while when you win, there's joy and celebration that you'll going to acquire.
1012  Economy / Gambling / Re: My betting strategies on: March 04, 2024, 10:53:14 AM
One of the interesting things about gambling strategy is in choosing a specific strategy for ourselves which we feels like the best and we all have the right of changing such each time we are no more comfortable with that anymore, one of the best way we can help ourselves in this is when we are able to develop one at least for ourselves, this will show how versatile we are in gambling and the use of other important strategies to blend along with our own.
There are strategies that could help us to make more money with having to over stress ourselves too much.
Strategy is one of the ways we can keep benefiting from betting if we have a good one that would always help us to earn more.
Gambling is also risky so whatever strategy we are making use of, we should always consider our health because without that, it could affect our mental health and make us too addictive to suv kind of bet which could bring more loses.

And the end point still remain, it's your control and discipline that matters a lot, if you have that kind of mindset you'll be able work it out and maximize the potential benefits without sacrificing your mental health, with good control setting up your strategy and placing your limitation will work alongside and bring you a positive outcome, though not all have that capabilities and there's always a big chance that you'll exceed and unable to control both your time and your money.

Keep your focus and not to let your emotion to dominates, especially greed as it will lead your way to a possible disaster, placing both your mental and financial on a high risk position.
1013  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: March 04, 2024, 10:35:25 AM
~snip~
Each family has its own reaction to the discovery of a problem gambler in their family. Someone will start to panic and drag this player to clinics, where most likely the player will be locked up with drug addicts, greatly worsening the situation with his self-esteem, and relationships with others in general. This is the wrong approach and I highly condemn it. I believe that gambling addiction and drug addiction are completely different illnesses, and it is possible that gambling addiction is much worse.

And in some families they continue to give money to the gambler and pay off debts for him. And of course this is a mistake, the first thing that should be done is to make the gambler realize that he has made a huge mistake. And only when he understands everything psychologically, only then can you begin to correct his mistakes with him.

They are behaviors more than illnesses in my mind, because you can't really just "get" an addiction.

You basically start doing a behavior that gets more and more intense over time. Every decision is made from the person, there's no "catching" an addiction like a cold or flu, or even cancer, etc.

The good news about it is that in theory you could simply change your behavior and you are "cured". Of course it is difficult, but it shouldn't require medical intervention in theory.

And I hope that it's just simply as how theory stated it, but it's not most of the time, maybe there are gamblers who got addicted and manage to cope up by doing that, just change their behaviors and they are already been cured, but most of the time, there's a big help that's needed aside from personal care there's also professional interventions if the level of addiction is already on the maximim side, there are many things that needed to address, factors that may help the person to re-assess his way of treating gambling and start changing his direction to help his ownself to quit away.

Family is important, but the most important is who has the authority in family. I doubt that in some countries, if father is a heavy gambler, he will listen to what his wife says. I would stress on the following, to be able to cure gambling addiction, one source of help (like family) is not enough. In must be a combination of methods. Family help, facilities (doctors), change of object of interest, influence of friends (maybe try to decrease their influence if they are gamblers).

All will work if the they have same level of care, I see your point and it will really help to assess the authority of one person in a gambler's life, it will be helpful if the person really respect the person who's trying to help. The more he engage to that person the better chance that he might listen and start trying to follow his advise.

What a bad day for the Golden State Warriors. That's already a one sided game that they have no appetite to end it.

It is what everyone expected on how this game is going to end. 140-88. The game truly changed a lot and Celtics on this game shown how consistent they are, mostly their key players.

They are on fire a great shooting night and that's really something that Warriors unable to adjust, not the expected outcome in terms of score deficit but that's how the game works, if you are having a tough game and your opponents are keep on firing and making shots expect that they will have a huge lead, it was a very dominating game for Boston as the lead from 1st quarter up to 3rd quarter keeps on balloning and Warriors have no answers.

Jusuf Nurkić broke his own record on rebounds. 30 rebounds for Nurkic tonight but sadly they lost against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

OKC was playing great on defense. They did not let Kevin Durant have an open look, once he received the ball, the double team would come and he was forced to pass the ball in the process.
Bradley Beal did great trying to help out, and Royce O'Neale did some damage too, but when it comes to offense, SGA had been dominating the game, actually the whole NBA, that's why he is on the Kia MVP race. 36 points, 10 rebounds, and 9 assists for the top 2 contender of the MVP race behind Jokic.

KD was exhausted, Bradley Beal was on minute restriction, Nurkic should actually be on minute restriction too but he was forced to play more, and Booker was out due to an ankle sprain but according to reports, the X-ray is good. He may be back after a few days of rest.
I think the Suns should find a way to make KD take his shots. After watching the game tonight, I don't see any screen and roll type of play, or KD should start practicing looking for the open man when a double team arrives.

The young guns of OKC did a great job, like what you said they keep on adjusting and rotate to make a good defense when KD's holding the ball, they've got the height and speed to bother KD's possible attack, and yes, just like what you said Beal did try to help but got a limited playing minutes while Nurkic did push as they can't let Bol be left behind, and from the OKC side, aside from SGA, William again bring a great game to help in thier scoring side.

Indeed, they are limiting to avoid any distractions inside the working area, though there are other company who allows the use of cellphone depending to the line of business, but most of the time especially when the nature is producing products they are not allowed to use their phones, not just limited to gambling but also to use their time browsing online or taking time to chat with their friends of relatives, they are not being paid to do that but instead they are being paid to work and accomplished their daily task.
Each company has varying regulations, including regulations that limit the use of cell phones or completely prohibit users while working, cell phone use can trigger users to carry out habitual activities while working, some workers will access gambling in secret to avoid CCTV footage installed in various corners of the office. I agree with your opinion that the company pays for every activity you do related to company activities and they don't pay a penny for being careless and playing on your cell phone.

So, don't ever do external activities while you are working, the boss will monitor every employee, even though he won't reprimand them directly, but he will wait for the right moment to call you to talk personally about your status in the company.
Even though there might be something which might not be written or included up on gambling at work in regarding with your work regulation or whatever it would be but still its not really that ethical
or something ideal or recommended that you do make yourself having that involvement with gambling while you do work. Its never been that appealing for your work or employer on seeing
that you've been dealing up with other things in working hours. It would really be totally that better that you should really be avoiding yourself on such issues or potential problems if you
do really just that simply quit up on the things that you are doing on work site. You could always deal up with gambling activity on the time that you would really be going at home.

Your employer might not be having those kind of complains about on your gambling in work but sooner or later when things turns out to be that excessive anymore
then this is the time that you might be told up on having at least some break or the worst that you might be totally laid off or you would really be the ones who will
be the first candidate if ever there would really be some removal. It would really be that depending on the efficiency of course.

Sure thing to happen as if you already compromising your job, either physically or mentally if the only matter for you is your gambling activities your employer will not have any other options but to cut your ties with them,  we all know what gambling can do especially if you already been deeply engaged,  your decision making is affected and all the activities that you have in life will also be affected,  gambling iis something that can really ruined your life, maybe at first you can control but as time goes by your appetite and your engagement will be deeper to the point that you are willing to risk everything in life.

Once agrression takeover for sure you won't be able to control and next you know a huge amount of money is already been taken away from your savings, to the point that you can everything without limiting yourself while trying to seek for luck either to recover or to win big time while playing or betting with the game you choose to gamble.


Yes, sometimes taking over aggression drives a gambler to act inappropriately and in fact, many people do it without realizing it. because this really influences a person to act carelessly, especially without strong self-control to prevent or anticipate it.
Just like taking savings to be able to gamble according to our wishes, of course this must also be balanced with a good mindset and control. If there are none of these things then it is very likely that he will experience a lot of losses.

That's the reason why we need to stop that aggression cause once it will happen Then we got a good decision but If we don't have to control our mind then one thing for sure we Will loss a lot of money. Cause even though we will loss but if we are in aggression and greedy then we are still  i'll put our bet even though we loss.. anyways we are all human we have a chance to loss.bavsuse we forgot sometimes.

We can't removed that fact that greed and aggression are built in inside us but we do have the capabilities to prevent it as long as we have a good control with our emotions, something that we can practice along the way, there are many possibilities that drive us away from following both greed and aggression though it's not an easy task but if we don't want to lose a lot of money better to wrok on it and try to demolished that kind of emotions while you are still involve in gambling, it helps a lot to prevent making huge mistake and have that regrets when you lose your money.

Sometimes people forget their limits and mindset to become better, if in gambling when we see other people's wins, it is likely that our minds and hearts want to feel the same thing, but in gambling the results are different.
We must not imitate or even impose desires that are not in accordance with our own abilities because if we want to be reckless then we cannot control it so what happens is a lot of harm and loss.
This has been the problem of most gamblers, been able to know and maintain their limits while gambling, if they are all able to do this than I'm most sure that the issues with gambling Will to a good extent reduce., Knowing the effects of gambling too much alone should be a reason why we most likely should avoid over gambling and always know when to stop and not continue. Looking at other people's gambling pattern and wanting to use their strategy is a pitfall that will be detrimental to us but sometimes we pay deaf ears to it until we are hurt by these practice.

Tailoring our gambling habits to our abilities will actually go a long way to helping us be better gamblers because it helps us gamble within our means and not to go beyond what we can afford to lose as everyone's financial capabilities are not on equal level so they definitely can't be doing exactly what we are doing.

It helps if you continue to learn about your mistakes and use that as patterns to make a better decision making, but if we keep doing it over and over then we just risking our finances because after a certain lose your apettite might grow and maybe you'll add more money to your bankroll and lose it still.

There are people that have good gambling habit and making profits would not always be a problem to them. Some persons might be having difficulty time making money in gambling while some persons would make money and after a while they would lose the money back to betting. Gambling is always profitable if we know the trick we can be embedding to make money in the market. There are people that don't regularly have luck in gambling that is why we see them making more of losses amd less of winnings. Sometimes, they need to look for people that do make frequent earnings to keep getting signals from them.
Unfortunately pro gamblers don't share their tricks/predictions for free for the reason that they don't want to get involved which is detrimental to other people or their analysis is very expensive for accurate predictions for sports betting, chances are other people won't always share tricks for guessing scores for sports betting and you Focus on understanding the analysis and techniques for guessing scores so you can carry out analysis for personal gambling tricks.

However, you should know that all gambling wins are luck because there are no predictions with exact accuracy, so keep gambling carefully and prioritize setting bets based on funds ready to lose.

First is to understand that gambling always have a risk behind, next is about the amount that you are willing to let go, there are pro gambler who can really manage well and have  a decent outcome each time they place their bets and same with you I guess the amount that they will charge you just to have their prediction is pricy though there's no assurance that it can be a accurate prediction as there's no such words as that when you are dealing with gambling.

More on how will you set your limitations and how good you are in following that, as there's always a price when dealing inside gambling, more on self assessment and controls and how you anticipate the potential outcomes.

Bai @Baofeng alat din ako lately  kaya tahimik. Cheesy Snipe muna ako sa mga maswerte dito. Pero mukhang tahimik dahil siguro Sunday.

Meanwhile, naabot na talaga ni Lebron James ang 40k point mark kanina. Natalo nga lang ang Lakers sa mismong home court nila laban sa defending champs, Denver Nuggets. Still, isang historic ang achievement ni Bron at di natin alam kung kaya siya mabreak sa sa generation natin. Mas mataas na scoring mga laro sa generation na ito subalit di natin sure kung kaya nila ang longevity at eagerness pa rin maglaro sa kanilang late 30s.

Ung longevity at eagerness yung ang hindi natin masasabi kasi ibang iba na ung attitude at focus ng new generation unlike kay Bron na talagang ang naging investment nya eh yung physical health nya, pero gaya ng sinabi mo yung trend ng scoring medyo mataas at yung defense kasi hindi na rin ganun kahigpit, unlike nung generation na inabot ni Bron na meron pa rin pisikalan, and yung focus kasi ngayon long shots more on three points kaya kung magkakaroon ng new version ni Bron na makakatagal talaga sa liga baka kayanin mabreak pero depende pa rin sa itatagal nila sa liga yan kabayan..

Balik tayo sa mga games medyo hirap talaga makasipat, pero tuloy tuloy lang siguro or pahiyang muna kahit paisa isa para makabalik lang sa balasa hahaha..
1019  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does casino streamers have influence in your gambling life? on: March 03, 2024, 12:42:11 PM

I must admit, I play those slots for at least a bit quite often when I see a streamer wins a good amount. I know it doesn't mean I will win too, but I like to try my luck on those slots. It's fun. Never won anything significant this way so far though. Maybe next time, who knows? Smiley

There's something hype could bring on those winnings that's why we want to try to test out if we experience the same result and its normal especially if we are regularly watching those casino streamers, And nothing wrong with this if people think about that its bad to follow what streamers do since they are for clout, but as long as we are fine and can able to spend on the games we want to try which they stream then its good as long as we enjoy that game.

Also right who knows there will be time if luck will be in our side and we win. Some maybe say that its bad to follow them since they are for pure hype but once we know what we are doing for sure everything there will be favorable to us especially if we are only seeking for short fun.

Actually casino stremers show impressions that can make someone trapped in the same sensations and hallucinations so that some people without thinking immediately try to follow what the stremers do with the aim and hope of getting the same winning results, and the problem and concern is that they follow something that has basically been manipulated behind the scenes by the casino, The meaning is that the victory obtained by the stremer is not real, as I said above that it is a show to lure or attract the sensation of people watching until in the end most of the people who follow what the stremer does end up with regret because it turns out that the results of the experiment do not match what they have seen before from the stremer's show.

But if you really already know about the facts behind the impressions made by the stremer then maybe yes it's okay if you really want to try betting the way they do by using a large budget, because as you said that there is still a possibility for luck to come at the same time when we do the experiment, but remember you must really agree with yourself that if you lose in the end you must be able to accept it and just think of this as an experiment only.

yeah right and if by chance they manage to win some after following those streamers they will tend to think that the person is for real, they will blindly follow whatever the style and strategy that they will share, and afterwards they will find themselves regretting after losing a lot of money just because of such foolishness that they've done following the people who they thought that those streamers are helping them and they can get something out from them.

I like that sentiment on from your last statement, if you lose you should have that courage to accept and face that reality that you failed and you should be moving forward and forget about regretting or just pause yourself and try to cope back and re-try your chance if ever you decide to continue playing.

The main point is, it's your money and it's your luck, streamers are always show you the best side of their gambling to attract you signing to the site that they are promoting just keep yourself as it is, and be responsible with how you deal with your gambling and never to chase for someone's fate, do your own strategy and follow your own patterns and limitations.

1020  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoins profits or bank profits, which best? on: March 03, 2024, 12:22:18 PM
I think it doesn't makes sense to compare bank profit vs crypto profit. Banks are normally established for ensure the security of your money and gives some interest if you keep a lots of money in your bank account but that amount is very lower. On the other hand,  crypto is for investment. And here you can easily increase your money with btc,eth by investing. Even some potential altcoin can give you huge profit that you can't imagine. So of course crypto is best source for making money
Even the interest you get from the bank when you keep your money in the bank becomes nothing after sometimes , it is a big lose to leave your money in the bank because the more you leave your money in the bank it gets the depreciate. Investing money in cryptocurrency is more better than leaving it in the bank because cryptocurrency has good profit to give if only one is willing to hodl cryptocurrency.

Profit wise, crypto is more better if you have that good grasp of the market, if you know well and you can overcome the potential risk then yes you can call for the side of crypto investment as saving your money inside the bank may give you small grow but in terms of actual benefits that's really something that you can't really feel after that long time of saving your money from thier platform.

Banks are better in security, you are right about that, unless the bank goes bankrupt which doesn't happen at all times. If we talk about profits, as you mentioned, banks aren't investment firms even if they offer such things, they don't give you a lot of money for the money that you keep with them and they do it because it benefits them, they use your money for their businesses to earn money and pay you a small percentage from that.
Cryptocurrencies carry a lot of risks, especially altcoins, because we have seen that some altcoins might lose control and then vanish from the pace of the earth leaving its investors in remorse, and if a person invests all their money in such a cryptocurrency, they are doomed.

I agree to that, security wise banks will be the better place for your money, unless there's economic problem that may force the bank to close or any other unanticipated situations that take place, but other than that, it's really more secure keeping money from that financial institutions but again profits and potential gains that too small and only the bank will manifest with your money and earn more.
