Kailangan talaga ng mga companies mag invest sa security  nila kasi any moment maaari silang madale ng hackers at masira or malugi yung negosyo nila, kaya dapat meron silang mas matatag at mas secure na line.
Madaming companies ang ini-ignore ang security ng mga systems nila, which is one of the reasons na minanaliit ng nila even in government ang IT industry, less invested sila sa mga ganyan, ma equipments, tao even sahod lol. Tapus lahat ng transactions pala nila pati sa gov. eh nasa online database na, tapus pa ganyan ang approach nila for the security ng pulic, kaya face palm ulit.

Sinabi mo, kaya ang end result most of the time eh kinakaya kaya lang talaga ng mga hackers at dahil sa pagtitipid or hindi patutuon ng pansin mas masaklap yung pwedeng maging resulta, unang una eh yung kredibilidad sa customer or end users tapos syempre yung tatamaang business or serbisyo na inooffer, dapat talaga maging more aware yung mga negosyante including na ang government kasi hindi biro yung ganitong mga insidente, seguridad yan ng bawat taong nagtiwala sa kanila..
162  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can someone take gambling as a source of income to he/she life? on: June 23, 2024, 11:42:58 PM
If someone takes gambling as a source of income without regular income or monetary income from any other source, he is guaranteed to live a very easy life. There is no guarantee that regular income will come from gambling, rather it is more likely that gambling will result in losses rather than profits most of the time. So of course, if a gambler plans to make a career in gambling, there is no doubt that the gambler will personally make a wrong decision. So I don't think gambling as a source of income is anything but foolish for now. If a gambler has more than one source of income then gambling can be considered as part of the source of income in addition to multiple sources of income. However, gambling should not be considered as one of the main sources of income.
There is no guarantee someone can use gambling as a source of income because that will not easy for them. Gambling known as a way to have fun and not as a source of income. If they still insist using gambling for that reason, they must prepare if they see the big lose.

It is better they search for the other way to earn income. They will have a big chance to have a source of income if they can gets work. If they can works smart and work hard, their income will be bigger.

They can only use gambling for have fun instead using gambling for the source of income. By doing that, they will not spends too much money unless they wants to wins the games. They must realizes that gambling is not the right way to earn money instead just use the money to gets fun.

Better to treat it as part of your entertainment as if you focus with earnings you might turn addicted and risk your finances, though there are people who use this venue as source of income, aside from those influencers there are also gamblers who manage to learn the proper ways of controlling their emotions and have that good capabilities in managing their funds, experienced gamblers who can handle the pressures and always in-line with how they set up their strategy and limitations.
One thing gambling and pressure is that sometimes you just lose it and go off to your comfort zone and before you know it you starts doing things that you have actually tried to stop just because you can't let go of maybe few loses that you enquired when playing and that's why having the thought of losing as a possibility is really helpful because you are never certain that you would always get profits when playing.

Having that inside you can prevent you to keep pushing for more,  I mean if you understand both the risk and potentials, the chance of losing more than you can afford can be avoided, if you already have that acceptance inside you it's not hard to stop and quit, though it's always easy to say it but very difficult to execute when you are in the situation, especially if your adrenaline is pushing you to keep trying if you till got some money to top up.
163  Economy / Economics / Re: Would you prefer getting a loan for a startup or getting an investor? on: June 23, 2024, 11:28:58 PM

Who doesn’t think their idea is a big one? If it isn’t, why then would they pitch the idea? For someone to talk about finding investors or taking loan, they are already confident in the idea, after all, you will have to convince the investor that it can be a very successful project before he/she will invest. So everyone always has that trust. Instead you should talk of risk level. Despite how big you think the idea is, you have to consider the risk involved and compare if it’s worth the possible result in the end, etc.

Good point, as for my reply, more on the focus for the risk if what will happen after if you failed that's why I mentioned about the liabilities, but I get your point that for soeone who believes on his idea he will push for it, either to get investors or to barrow money, as he believes that good chance or big potentials is already on it he just need to proceed and see the outcome, and in terms of getting the interest of investors aside from potentials, there's a big need of providing also the risk and make it understandable that it's possible to take place.

And this,

So the last time we were in the Olympic was 2015, but was even just a replacement to New Zealand, let's see if we will be back again.
https://www.espn.ph/basketball/story/_/id/31880180/looking-back-last-philippines-played-basketball-olympics


That was a long time ago, it's almost 10 years and now we are knocking on that door to be able to enter. I agree with what the above poster have mentioned, our chance in the qualifier is very slim because of the bracket that we are in, even against Georgia, we might struggle, but since Justin Brownlee is still our naturalize player, we just need to move the ball well and have to be consistent with our 3 point shooting.

Looking at the roster's match up, we would have a problem due to size difference, but you know, we Filipinos have this "PUSO" which will lead us to  a possible victory in the game.

If we look at the last 5 games of Georgia, they only won 1 out of 5, while the Philipines have won 4 of 5.
https://www.365scores.com/en-us/basketball/match/olympics-basketball---men-6394/georgia-philippines-1573-20837-6394

So I'm giving it to you to analyze if we do really have a good chance.

I'm pretty sure that "PUSO" is not only the surviving factor here but the executions of plays coming from coach Tim not to drag coach Puso Reyes here but the two got their differences,

though same with you, the size  is by far but the talents for my own opinion Team PH already have the best squad our team can produce, and with JBL they are in the good hand a kind of an all around player who can boost the confidence of the whole team.

We might see our flag campaining for the olympics which all of us for sure will wanted to see, one step as a time just play as one..
165  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe in gambling experts predictions? on: June 23, 2024, 11:12:01 PM
A professional gambler can only be paraded that possibly or impossibly, forecasted games may play based on experiences on the predictions but should not have that 100% assurance that the game would play as predicted.

Your experiences in gambling can only shade you the algorithm to approach closely to winning but does not imply guarantee that you are at the topnotch by which whatever your predictions maybe will be unfailingly.
There is no guarantee you can wins the money in gambling. You can predict the match but you will not knows if you wins or lose. You don't have to believe the expert but you can use their prediction as your knowledge and place your bet but you should accept whatever the outcomes. That's why you must not depends on other people prediction to place a bet instead trying to analyze the match by yourself.

If you can learn more about analysis the match to find the right team that have more chances to wins, you will gets the right decision. Maybe that will needs to practice your skills to have a better skills in analyzing and that is worth to keeps practice until you have good skills in analyzing the match.
Even the sports book itself doesnt know on what would be the results on which it would really be that understandable that there would really be those kind of positive approach about with those predictions made out by those who are veterans or old into this industry but we do know that when it comes to this kind of aspect on which there's no way for these old timers would really be able to predict on what would be the result of such condition on which we know that everything is random unless if it was that a fixed match then it would really be that a 100% win but since we do know that instances or chances on getting these kind of information isnt something that could possibly do and this is why it would really be that better that you should really be just that depending into your own choices and analysis.

Indeed, in terms of fixed match it's something that very limited and the possibilities is too small for someone to gain access and the chance of getting scam is more prone, better to depend on your own analysis as you mentioned, I guess that's something that you can developed along the way, it's gambling and no one can assure us if what will happen next.

A random outcome that the only thing that you are leaning is your understanding and luck which is  no one can accurately dictate the possible outcoem of each games.
166  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: June 23, 2024, 10:54:03 PM
His career might be over but I think that he can still continue it somewhere else or with college basketball that needs an experienced coach. Regardless of his run with the Pistons, experience-wise, he's got it. But if not, he's got hefty money to start with and go with venture capitalists for that money for him to invest. Anyway, it's all about connections there and he sure has got a lot of it. It may be frustrating for the Pistons and him but somewhere, he'd find another home.
Well, that's what I said also with Doc Rivers when he chokes many times when he's the coach of both the Clippers and the Sixers. Now there's the Bucks who still got him despite of what happen in the past. I'm not saying that it's over though because I believe that he's still a good coach. It's just that, he's on a bad team like the Pistons. Let's not forget how he carried the Suns in the NBA Finals in his first year.

As for him continuing it somewhere else, it will depend on how much the offer will be because the Pistons still owe him $65M for the next 5 years. I mean if another team will offer him way more (which is highly unlikely), we might not see him coaching another team aside from the Pistons. As for the Pistons, did they find another coach already? Cheesy
I don't think that the Pistons have already found their coach. But soon they will and I agree to you that the offer to him is either going to be bigger than or par with the salary he's got with the Pistons. Or, he'd be the one willing to adjust and just take any of those job offers if there's something being offered to him. Well, he can be picky but if he's up for the competition then he won't be then.

There's no update yet if what will be his fate, though same with your opinion he can be picky in terms of signing a new job but for now there's no option maybe he will take his rest or find another job outside NBA, which mostly happened with former coaches, or take a much lower position as assistant if ever that there's no available head coach for him, it's on his decision making but for now that contract from Piston is no longer active as he did not met what the management expected from him.

In the past, there have been the same story and thought that it's not gonna happen but it did.
I think there will be some extraordinary stories as well that the same thing can happen, either with BTC, some meme coins or any alt that will have tremendously gains

Still possible and it will provide benefits to those who are not afraid of taking the risk, we don't know what future may bring as there's no one who can accurately conclude what will be the fate of the project or investment that you'll going to take, it's a matter of determination and trust and who knows it will provide decent amount of money that will allow you to retires your early age.

Things can be done for those who have that desire and works with their passions, more on how you dream and aim for your great success.
And how you are going to make it happen. Not everyone who dreams for something big are able to achieve it.
Many are just stopping and forgetting it when they can't get through the process because it's quite hard for them.
The possibility is there, many are still hoping for that one big home run in terms of investing in the market and when they do, they'd surely plan to retire.

Agree to that, those who keep on trying will the chance to find success while those who stop surely will not achieve anything in return, just like what I've said, it's your determination plus your hard work will pay, though not all will have that same fate but as long as you are trying your best doing your part, who knows the project that you are supporting will pump high and give you the benefits that you are aiming, it's a retirement benefits that can allow you to enjoy life in your early age.

Lumalabas talaga wala ding silbi yung Sim card registration law, nung una bago pa ito maimplement ay to avoid scam daw sa mga netizen pero nung unang mga buwan or ilang buwan lang then after nun eto na unti-unti ng lumalantad na naman ang mga scammer sa mga phone natin, ang dami nilang paraan na ginagamit at kinokopya, katulad ng share it, Gcash, maya, na iisa ang istilo at yun ay meron kang free load.

Tapos makikita mo lang sa notification ng phone mo tumatawag at nagmemessage pero hindi mo naman makikita sa mismong mga apps na pinagkopyahan nila, kaya lang once na maiclick mo yun sa notification goodbye na ang mga files mo sa phone dahil hulog kana sa bitag. Kaya ingat sa pagclick mga kabayan. Pagmay ganyan kang nabasa ignore mo nalang at block.

Oo yun na lang talaga pag hindi mo kilala or hindi mo marecognize yung number mapa text or mapatawag auto ignore na lang better na maging kesa madale ka ng mga scammers at hackers, mahirap kasing mapigilan ang mga yan kasi tuloy tuloy lang ang gagawin nyan na magbakasakali na makapang loko, pag meron kasi kahit maloloko sulit na ung mananakaw nila, kawawa yung mga hindi nag iingat pag nadale na pero sana lang mas matulungan or mapagtuunan ng gobyerno itong lumalalang scam text or call na to' sana ung implementation ng sim card law mas laliman at mas pabigatin yung security.

Those who have good control of course don't really expect to win, their main goal is to have fun or for entertainment. but it's better like that than gambling with the aim of making money, it will only make us unprepared for losing the money we bet and it can trigger us to do other things that are more risky. Every gambler must have good awareness about gambling so that they don't experience big losses, because those who experience big losses are usually because they don't have good enough awareness so they often take actions that get them into serious problems. Therefore, it is better for us to have a good mindset towards gambling, such as just for fun, nothing more than that.

Of course, I personally will continue to gamble if gambling can make money for sure, because of course I want something instant, especially in terms of making money, but of course gambling is not like that. If we really want to earn money we have to work to earn wages. Moreover, if gambling can make money for sure, I think there are many people whose lives are comfortable because they can make money by just sitting at home and constantly monitoring their gadget screens.

Yes you are right, it is better as you said to gamble just for fun and as entertainment with a note of self-control is maintained and if gamblers are able to do it they will not experience so much financial loss instead they will be happy with the gambling game they have run.
In addition, if there are gamblers who believe that gambling can make a lot of money and they fully expect the results of the gambling game, they will definitely soon experience regret and sadness, because in fact gambling is not a place to double money instantly but what happens is losing money easily instantly due to wrong perceptions.

Casinos make the "chance of winning" in every game as one of the strategies to attract many people to get involved in gambling, they are smart and know about what everyone needs like money, therefore many people lose control and think based on lust or desire that is not based on rational consideration, so in the end it is natural that there are some of them who try to make gambling a place to earn.

Although the idea sounds absurd if we think using common sense but yes that's what happens, and because of this why we never get tired of reminding especially to those beginners to always use common sense and rational point of view before entering gambling too far, because when they are too late then usually their interest in gambling is getting higher and that's what makes someone addicted which is a disease that is very difficult to overcome.


The lust to keep playing as adrenaline rushing you to push forward, I know there are people who knows and understand the risk where there are people who thinks that with luck they will quickly double their money, it's more on thinking how you can create good strategy that will allow you to make money, but at the end of the day it's your emotions that will allow you how to avoid getting burned and wrecked your initial capital.
170  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich or poor gambler, who should risk more? on: June 22, 2024, 06:34:19 PM
At the end of the day, most people's accounts become zero. There is no difference between the rich and the poor. When a poor person deposits money in his account and a rich person deposits money in his account, when they both lose, their account balances become zero. But the difference is that the poor have a lot of difficulty in saving money later on they have to fast their income which becomes very difficult but not so difficult for a rich person. A poor person is very emotional when he loses, but there are many rich people who place bets just for fun. When rich people have zero balance in their account, they can deposit more money later, but a poor person takes too long to fill his account. So a poor person should not take such a big risk, but the rich are ready to take the biggest risk.
That's what we must avoids when playing gambling. We must have strict to limits our money that we used to playing gambling so we can control our losses not to becomes bigger.  No matter if he is rich or poor, when he wants to playing gambling, he must have control of himself and his money. Maybe the rich can accepts the big lose in gambling because he realizes the big risks behinds of playing gambling.

But it's better to manage his money to playing gambling and have fun because there is no guarantee we can wins much money, no matters how much money we used to playing gambling. Both rich and poor gamblers must remember that they can only use gambling to have fun and always thinks about how they can prevents the risks will not becomes bigger.

Yup, in gambling the only sure thing is the house will have some edge against you, in terms of any assurance that you may win, that's going to be depends from how luck permits you and how good you are playing with luck, if you have that kind of mindset where you know how to use that chances ech time luck gave you some decent wins, if you know when to quit then you'll have a better chance to be compensated, though most are not.

It's a balance between entertainment and your money management, if you are good in both sides then chance is always possible.
171  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The real winning of gambling is withdrawals on: June 22, 2024, 06:17:16 PM
No guarantee at all, and if you don't play wisely then expect that instead of making money you'll just continue losing a lot, it's very important that you know how to control both your finances and emotions, especially if luck already backing you up, know when to stop while you still have that chance to earn money, as most of the time, the gamblers who's in the winning streaks thinks that they will continue to have same outcome to the point that instead of quitting they will push and aim for more, it's a wise decision to quit while you are still in green instead of regretting that you missed your chance taking your profits.
That's right, it's very important to be able to control our finances and emotions when gambling because, of course, our own emotions will determine the gambling we do. If we can't control our emotions then the gambling we do can be disastrous, but even that is caused by our own mistakes, not the fault of the casino. or someone else. What must be eliminated is the thought of thinking that we can win again and again, because with that thought of course there is no good financial control and it can trigger our emotions to become messy in the future.
Not denying that everyone certainly wants to keep winning because profit is of course what everyone wants, but with gambling there is no win that can be obtained continuously, winning at gambling is based on luck while luck will only happen occasionally, so it must be considered carefully. Be wise when you have won not to waste it. This may be the same as another topic yesterday which had the title "know when to stop" and indeed when you win it is one of the points where you have to stop by cashing in the winnings you have obtained.

It will turned against us if we don't know how to control ou emotions, plus if we can't handle our finaces carefully then it's really a big risk for us, unlike if you are a type of a gambler who knows when to stop and either you are winning or losing you have that certain point to quit for the day and reassess your participation.

Those types of gamblers are capable to play with good jurisdictions of both emotional control and money managements.

Saka bakit kaya katulad ng Jollibee naman ngayon ang kanilang hinahack ngayon? Hindi rin kasi ako pamilyar dyan kay art na mastermind nyan. Pero nakakabahala talaga yan, dapat dyan maaksyunan ng authority natin yan.
Not really sure kung may mga nabenta naba na mga info or bakit JFC ang target ng mga hacker specifically, basta ang maaring sagot lang niyan is wala sa ayus ang security nila. Although i saw an fb post na third party lang na partnered ng JCF ang na hack at hindi mismo ang system ng JCF kay di pa nag bibigay ng official statement ang Jollibee or JCF about the recent hacks.

Yun ang tamang term mahina yung security or baka meron nag leak sa side ng security nila, mahirap na talaga sa panahon ngayon kung saan lahat ata ng access online possibleng ma hack yung trending na maxicare medyo alarming kasi alam naman natin ung health card yung mga information na nakuha galing dun malamang sa malamang pwedeng magamit or maibenta ung mga yun.

173  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your gambling life could affect your relatives lifes. on: June 22, 2024, 04:54:50 PM
I want to correct a little thing, people doesn't gamble because the inflation in their country or hardship in their environment, one thing I know very well is that, gambling have to do with desperation and engagement, if you are not a gambler a hardship can't push you into gambling, it's because you know what's gambling and that's what makes you to gamble more, another thing I understand in gambling is that you have to know the importance of gambling and also the risk that is involved on it, because ordinarily people love gambling and some people misunderstood it and take gambling as source of income and that's why you feel that we are getting more numbers of people in gambling if inflation in some countries persist

Misconception which you wrote about is a result of lack of genuine information and knowledge about gambling before joining the niche. On the venture to decrease addiction rate, gamblers are meant to be advised on the importance of gambling. And, also, what they could learn through the game. Gambling has never been a negative activity all through. The problem has to do with the player's mind set. They think gambling is an activity that could ruin their financial life, that's why it ends up ruining their gambling journey on the long run. So, it's actually a nice point referring to gamblers as people who should focus more on being educated about what they're about to go into.
Do you know that many people who is into gambling today have different motive of been in gambling and that's why have being emphasizing on education and also know the advantages and disadvantages of gambling before we go into gambling, what I know very well that associated in gambling and makes to be more interested in gambling is because they think that gambling is the easiest way of making money, so it high time to brief people and educate them the procedures of gambling before they developed another mindset and it failed them, for me gamble needs someone to understand it before you join. This is something I have being lamenting on.

Yeah, there are some who got influenced from thier friends or relatives some who thinks that they can use this venue to find some entertainment but due to a careless anticipation they ended up being addicted, same with what you said, it's better to study and know how you can handle the risk against the potentials, if you just push your way thinking that gambling is a quick way to earn, you may ended up losing a lot.

If you fall to this kind of mindset, most probably you'll end yourself ruining your life getting addicted and losing most if not all of your money.
174  Economy / Economics / Re: Take care of your money and learn to save. on: June 22, 2024, 04:40:11 PM
It is too late to save to buy a house or car or other necessities or luxuries. Because savings is what is left from income minus expenses, but if one wants to buy a house or a car or luxury goods in a relatively short period of time then one must focus on investing. But it is also very important to save which helps us to face future unexpected situations. So my theme is to save at least a part of what is left after deducting the expenses from the income and use the rest for investments that will help us meet all our needs.
The theme that you developed is actually quite suitable to be applied by everyone in any condition because it will not only help us to meet the needs we need, but can also help us fight bad conditions such as inflation and other things such as unexpected in life. Because someone who is able to save a little money and invest with the remaining money from his monthly income will definitely feel that things are better in his own life because he has actually helped his own future and made it better.

Yeah right, if you play well with your money and have that savings and investments, it will save you or keep you from barrowing in case that there's emergency that take place, you can use what you save and not bother anyone if you have some financial needs, it's true that everyone can also look at it as good way preventing you from over exceeding with your income, a wise man always find ways to make sure that the money they've got will actually works for them.
175  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe in gambling experts predictions? on: June 22, 2024, 04:28:10 PM
Experts don't have any advanced knowledge about gambling more than naive players. In terms of gambling results, nobody is an expert. One can become an expert when it comes to self control, money and time management, but convincing people to accept your predictions as the best and guarantees winning, is a false hope. Harnessing information on the way a team prepared for a match is vital, yet it doesn't make any much changes in determining who wins or losses the game.

The term "gambling expert" is just a name used in attracting naive players seeking for a fast means of doubling their money. If they can't achieve it themselves, an expert could be of help, they'll think. That's why most people who refer themselves as gambling experts will always get to find people who would pay them to predict games on their behalf.
That is both true and wrong at the same time. They have "more" information than some naive gambler, but just because they have more information that doesn't make them better, that part is the important part.

Many people think that if you study everything a lot better, than you are going to be better, but you could know the birthplace of every player on a team, know their form in the last 10 games, and yet you could still be as wrong as the guy who can't name 5 players on the team. That may sound weird, because why would you be that much wrong if you know that much, but football (can't speak about other sports) is obvious that shocking results could happen as frequently as expected ones, so it is not going to be easy for an "expert" to know it all.

Had a similar chat with a gambler and he made mention of how the winning odds are being kept attractively on the team that's most likely to win, and he'd be surprised to watch the lesser team win the game. People are given two options and few people try to engage on the option less followed. The smaller amount of people who staked on the lesser team, wins, thereby offering huge profits to the casino made from losers. Gambling works strangely especially in sport. It leaves me wondering if casinos control the football games. Because if they were just like gamblers who can't expertise the results, they wouldn't have been winning more than the players.

Bookies loves to play with gamblers emotions, they provide attractive odds and allow those gamblers who thinks that it's just an easy pick to be allure and lose their money, the concept of gambling casino is to earn money and even how attractive the offer they will find ways to make money, there's always profits not unless the people behind that casino did not do their research and just put something in their site without studying the risk and gains with their business.

You get the salary, but if you don't finish the contract because they cut you out, I'm not sure but you'll not getting the whole thing then unless they're too generous to still give the whole amount.

So speaking of JJ, I think that some Lakers players are suggesting Rondo to assist him.

It depends on the outline of the contract. Contract can protect both Lakers and JJ depending on what they agree but it’s dumb that you will sign a 4 year contract while they can kick you out anytime the company wants without any compensation to the original contract plan.

The coach will get a huge amount if the Lakers break the contract by firing him. This job is a win win for JJ regardless of his performance of his coaching since he is just doing podcast prior to this job offer which is a huge leap with his career.

Yeah a huge opportunities coaching one of the well-known franchise and to be fair with LeBron legacy even he's no longer at his prime it's still LeBron who's the main alpha of the team we never know what they are trying to build behind JJ's arrival, maybe they will invest and acquire good names of stars who can help them on their campaign.

Too early to conclude but I'm anticipating that Lakers will use some of those millions that they've got to create a competitive squad.

I'd reinvest that into something that I know more or if not, I'd do just the same routine while doing not so heavy with my business.

unless its meme coin but only very few people making it big from meme coin anyway, the truth is, most of crypto already high valued the potential to rise even higher become lower going opposite to the capital growth.
In the past, there have been the same story and thought that it's not gonna happen but it did.
I think there will be some extraordinary stories as well that the same thing can happen, either with BTC, some meme coins or any alt that will have tremendously gains

Still possible and it will provide benefits to those who are not afraid of taking the risk, we don't know what future may bring as there's no one who can accurately conclude what will be the fate of the project or investment that you'll going to take, it's a matter of determination and trust and who knows it will provide decent amount of money that will allow you to retires your early age.

Things can be done for those who have that desire and works with their passions, more on how you dream and aim for your great success.

If someone takes gambling as a source of income without regular income or monetary income from any other source, he is guaranteed to live a very easy life. There is no guarantee that regular income will come from gambling, rather it is more likely that gambling will result in losses rather than profits most of the time. So of course, if a gambler plans to make a career in gambling, there is no doubt that the gambler will personally make a wrong decision. So I don't think gambling as a source of income is anything but foolish for now. If a gambler has more than one source of income then gambling can be considered as part of the source of income in addition to multiple sources of income. However, gambling should not be considered as one of the main sources of income.
There is no guarantee someone can use gambling as a source of income because that will not easy for them. Gambling known as a way to have fun and not as a source of income. If they still insist using gambling for that reason, they must prepare if they see the big lose.

It is better they search for the other way to earn income. They will have a big chance to have a source of income if they can gets work. If they can works smart and work hard, their income will be bigger.

They can only use gambling for have fun instead using gambling for the source of income. By doing that, they will not spends too much money unless they wants to wins the games. They must realizes that gambling is not the right way to earn money instead just use the money to gets fun.

Better to treat it as part of your entertainment as if you focus with earnings you might turn addicted and risk your finances, though there are people who use this venue as source of income, aside from those influencers there are also gamblers who manage to learn the proper ways of controlling their emotions and have that good capabilities in managing their funds, experienced gamblers who can handle the pressures and always in-line with how they set up their strategy and limitations.

Not a good news for the Gilas fans.

Quote
GILAS Pilipinas will have to make do with an 11-man crew in the coming Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Latvia.

Guard Scottie Thompson is the latest player to be stricken out of the national team as the former PBA MVP hasn't fully recovered yet from the bulging disc that has bothered him during Ginebra's campaign in the recently concluded Philippine Cup.

Thompson now joins fellow injured players Jamie Malonzo and AJ Edu on the sidelines.


But based on the latest article, he is included in the line up.

We can also see on that link the group where Philippines belonged.

Thanks for the update, in terms of Thompson's capabilities, I think with how Newsome played during that finals for sure coach Tim will give him more time, knowing that it was coach Tim who call for him and adds him in these squad, I like the balance as all the players can be rotate and blends together, they already prove it last time and with the practices that they conduct and the kind of trut they gave to their headcoach, we might see a very competitive squad who can bring good recognitions to our country, good luck Team PH make our coutry proud and again be notice internationally.

Throughout my life of playing in casinos, making sports bets I can say with great certainty that based on my mistakes I have had to learn a lot and gain experience in order to currently not spend everything I have and to control my finances very well when it comes to games, for me it is a great lesson to have made so many mistakes, now I continue playing but you can say that I got my own strategy where I have control, where I do not strive to win like before, but rather I accept things as they are, that for me is enough, because if I lose I accept it, if I win I enjoy it, I think that is what it is about.



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.
