1621  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sports Betting vs Online Casino Games: Which do you prefer? on: June 17, 2022, 11:28:38 PM
Online casino games are mostly based on luck so you have less control whatever the end of the game. And if you are unlucky that time, you will never win and may only lose your money if you continue gambling. However, for sports betting, although luck is still there, but its more played by knowledge and skills so once you are more inclined in that particular game, most likely you can predict the outcome of that game.

I'm a type of gambler that don't rely mostly on luck. I like every of my bet to win as much as possible that's why I focused mostly at sports betting. Everyone knows that luck still plays a role in sports betting but with the right analysis, we are not just depending our bet to win thru luck.

Luck is just around the corner. Why not build a strategy to lure that luck to comes to us. Our knowledge in our chosen sports to bet will help us increase our winning chance rate. Because we are doing something to lure that luck, that might lead to a regular win.

Gambling is already risky. Don't just risks our money without a good fight to make profit in return.

Ross also missed the game and Terrence was still not available, so the offense are mostly coming from CJ Perez and Cruz from the outside.

Speaking of Terrence Romeo, his status is still not clear. He is now out of the Conference as per report. He is not allowed too to do some light practice as part of his rehabilitation as it might result to a much worst situation.

They want Terrence to just sit back and relax and never allow him to do some physical actions for the meantime.

SMB still has the best backup guards in the league. They should not feel the absence of Terrence Romeo even he won't play for the All-Filipino Cup.

they might not be able to focus 100% due to the pressure they are feeling in this game, but Warriors who are known to be a clutch team, they should handle the business in game 6.

Or it might be the other way around. Instead, they will able to be stay focused since they are pressured to win the game. Losing is not an option for them as that will be their final game if they lose the game tonight. That's what I see as a reason why Celtics will be more aggressive and more pumped at this game and will not allow the Golden State Warriors to celebrate at their home.

If Boston Celtics will able to put the Warriors at a large lead the entire game, I think the Warriors will rest their starters in the early 4th quarter and will not attempt to make a run to prepare for their championship attempt in front of their home crowd in Game 7.
1624  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bonus Abuse: Who is to Blame? on: June 16, 2022, 11:08:54 PM
I blame the Casinos and let me explain why.

Each time the casino creates a new bonus they decide the rules, and if a smart customer finds a way to take advantage of this bonus is because the casino does a bad job releasing a bonus that can be exploited. So, each time a user abuses any bonus promo es because that promotion wasn't well designed and from my point of view that's the casino's fault.

I know that thing can't be avoided but that shouldn't be a reason for those fraudsters to do such dirty tricks. And I think with today's promotions and bonuses by several gambling sites, strict terms are being taken place and that is something abusers can't do easily. It's not the casino to blame but these fraudsters are really focused on determining the ways to exploit the bonuses that they are doing the planning for 24/7.

There's no 100% protection on that issue that's why as long as the exploit was revealed, gambling sites should act quickly to solve it as much as possible.
1625  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Phil Mickelson Opens Up About Losing MILLIONS From Gambling on: June 16, 2022, 10:57:51 PM
That bad experience is good for me. If he continues to win, then he might not wake up someday to realize that something is not good. He is financially capable to support his gambling habits that's why I don't consider that a mistake for him. He never becomes a madman or irresponsible even after losing that amount. More importantly, he now understands that continuing to gamble might not help.

And no, he never chases losses but rather just wants to earn more even earning lots already at his beloved sports - greed.

In gambling, it's more entertaining to earn more, and that is what big whales do, not to chase their losses.
1626  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your NBA Champion this season? on: June 16, 2022, 10:28:46 PM
Anyway, back to the topic, the Warriors should do everything to claim the championship title in Game 6 later. It will be sure as a tough job because the Celtics are also not moving an inch back to have the Warriors their way, so ofcourse they will also do everything and utilize what they're known for to have a Game 7.

I'm hoping for another way around. I want the series to extend to Game 7.

Good to see the Finals will end in the final series for much better entertainment for us viewers. Golden State Warriors might finish the series tonight but the Boston Celtics obviously don't want to end their chances for the champion too. Bookies heavily favored the Boston Celtics tonight to win the game.

Not a basis that they will win tonight but it means bookies see something for the Celtics why they shouldn't be considered as an underdog tonight.

Bostin Celtics will win in Game 6 but the Golden State Warriors will end it on Game 7. Smiley
1627  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: June 16, 2022, 10:17:39 PM
Are there any updates about this fight? Hopefully, they can announce it before the end of June.

Terence Crawford gives Errol Spence Jr fight update

Terence Crawford himself gives an update recently that they are still trying to make the fight possible.

And I quote from the article:

"What makes things difficult is the 34-year-old Crawford only has one belt to Spence’s three, and he’s not a huge pay-per-view attraction or ticket seller like him. Although Crawford is ranked ahead of Spence in Ring Magazine’s pound-for-pound list at #3 to his #4, there’s not enough of a cushion to help in the negotiations."

It's clear that the main subject here is maybe the split. Spence may be demanding a much higher split above 60-40 because of his pay-per-view revenue and multi-title in possession. That seems reasonable to be demanded by Spence. If everything failed, Crawford may consider moving up weight instead and forget fighting Spence until the latter calls for him.

The Gin Kings were up by double-digit in the last 5 minutes of the game last night but they allowed ROS to make the game close fortunately for them they still won but that was not a good thing for them. I agree that if Pringle and the rest of the Gin Kings are healthy, they are strong contender but sooner or later they will have trouble facing a stronger team if they continue playing like their last two games.

Ginebra is even up by 10 points with only 2 minutes left in the last quarter. 40 seconds left, and they are still up by 8 points.

But you got lucky there, mate. Your bet was able to cover because of the Rain-Or-Shine buzzer-beater. Everyone thinks that the final score is now 90-82 but the buzzer-beater from beyond the arc makes it a 90-85 final score.

In the ending game here in our place, the 0-2 bettors are now enjoying the supposed win but got spoiled because of Mike Nieto's buzzer-beater.  Cheesy

Boston Celtics fans should just continue to cheer up for the team as the series is not over yet.

It's a rare situation where the Boston Celtics will suffer 3-game consecutive losses. The boost from the TD Garden's home crowd on Game 6 should give Celtics the momentum they need. Regardless of whether the Golden State Warriors will play well or not on that night, the Celtics will surely do everything to even the series and head straight to the decisive Game 7.

Ignore any analysis and just focus on staying with the Celtics until the end.

Don't give up Celtics fans as you have no choice but to do so. Smiley
1630  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 (September 17) on: June 15, 2022, 10:52:39 PM
i am also not thinking that after fighting with ggg, his next aim is a rematch with bivol. i believe that was not on the table before. but we knew that he had a contract to fight GGG even before his bivol's fight. because their trilogy is like finishing the unfinished business.
as GGG is the underdog with this upcoming fight, it will be a good motivation for him to beat Canelo. also, he had seen the bivol's fight so he has idea on where to poke Canelo to beat him. the odds are good if some of you here are going for GGG.

As I previously posted, it was reported Canelo reached an agreement to fight Bivol plus two more fights in 2022 in exchange for $160 million.

The fight against Bivol was already done and next on the line is GGG. I'm not sure who's the 3rd one and I doubt they can insert that fight until the end of the year. Maybe the best logical guess is after GGG, the third fight on Canelo's schedule on that $160M agreement will be on 1Q of 2023.

After finishing that whole year's agreement, the rematch will Bivol will now take place although I doubt if Bivol will still accept the challenge of Canelo.
1631  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bonus Abuse: Who is to Blame? on: June 15, 2022, 10:44:20 PM
Why don't they invest in a robust fraud detection system before the fraud happens and not after?

You have to remember that a fraudster will always be a fraudster and they are equipped with lots of techniques and ways to lead to abuse.

If Plan A doesn't work for them, they have backup plans for Plan B, Plan C, Plan D, and so on. While they are using new methods to abuse the site's system, that's the time the site will adjust the security and algorithms. A big site surely invests in good security but it's just that these culprits won't stop enhancing their techniques to make room for their abuse.

I ask again who is to blame for the increase in bonus abuse, the customers/fraudsters or the online gambling operators?

Who is doing the abuse? The users right? Therefore, they are doing it intentionally. Regardless of whether the site security is secured or not, the moment these users abuse a site, that's their only purpose from the beginning and not to enjoy the site service.
1632  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Japanese man gambled away a huge Covid-19 relief funds mistakenly sent to him on: June 14, 2022, 11:32:36 PM
Just confuse here, why that man didn't hit the bank alarm system because of the sudden change of activity on his bank account?

As per reading the article, the man was able to withdraw 600,000 yen every day for about two weeks without a problem.

Too smooth and the bank wasn't notified of the unusual activity of the bank account involved.

now, I have a question, do you think the man is entirely at fault or someone should also be responsible?

The fact that the man should not use an amount that clearly he knows that not meant for him is already a liable case.

In the first place, why used the money that he knows he didn't own.
1633  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 (September 17) on: June 14, 2022, 10:47:11 PM
We love this two fighters, but after the second fight, it seems that Canelo head and ego grow big as he doesn't want to give GGG his trilogy. But finally, it was set already so again, emotions are going to run high between the two fighters as GGG said that he won both fights and then chase Canelo for many years.

Who will resist expected big money in return just to accept the call of everybody to do a trilogy with GGG? Smiley

Before the fight with Bivol, it was reported that Canelo reached an agreement to fight Bivol plus two more fights in 2022 in exchange for $160 million.

That was just for 1-year fighting and that was an insane amount already that Canelo will surely bag this year, I think regardless of the result. We just don't how much specifically he will earn with the trilogy. That money figure that Canelo expectedly to receive this year alone, contributes to his status as one of having the highest net worth in sports.
1634  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you Considered a Career in Betting Consultancy? on: June 14, 2022, 10:36:19 PM
I'm confident with my skillset but no way I will prefer to become like that. That's a profession already that needs your whole lot of time. They have the deep analysis that is something out of the ordinary.

As a consultant and they are not getting good results, the built reputation might be ruined. I just wonder is there really a large number of bettors that used the services of a betting consultant? For a usual and regular sports bettor, I think most of them will just rely on their own knowledge about the leagues while using their own set of criteria and factors.

I also have to disagree with the part where OP stated that consultants can crack the secret code of increasing one's chances of beating the bookies and sportsbooks where in the first place, there is no secret stuff behind those.
1635  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Think Its One Too Many on: June 14, 2022, 10:31:09 PM
I will not mention any particular gambling casinos, but what are your thought if the casino or casinos with good feedback from the community, but with one unresolved scam accusation but from all angles, the accusation is legit with all the screenshots, transaction hash email conversation are provided by the complainant lets say he is not allowed to withdraw his earnings amounting to $100k but from all angles the accusation is valid, don't you think with thousand good feedback, its enough for the casino to lose his reputation with one legit accusation.

I need to know first how "legit" are the evidence you are referring to. Reputation is hard to gain that's why I don't see why gambling sites with already a good reputation will consider doing some shitty things to a single user but that case doesn't happen to the majority.

There might be some issues before that this site properly handled and that shows how good they are in handling problems from their users.

Since answering a scam issue here almost looks like a public trial and everyone can witness it, we will surely see how the site will respond to the issue. Their way of doing responses will determine if they are professional in handling the case and always giving an up-to-date update on the progress.
1636  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season - Finals on: June 14, 2022, 10:18:58 PM
I guess if ever the Celtics is going to lose to the Warriors, there's nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, they could hardened everyone, including the coaching staff. In this season, it was the Bucks (defending champs) and the Nets who are the favored to enter the finals and win. But after the all star break, Celtics enjoyed one of their best runs and now they are in the finals.

Boston Celtics are not even predicted to enter the NBA Finals by the majority but they did. These guys are professional and if they will lose the Finals, they won't feel be ashamed but rather disappointed as entering the NBA Finals is a difficult task to do and they need to work hard and smart from the scratch.

The team is composed of future NBA Superstars in the making. They just need to don't stop targeting the Championship every season. Anyways, before discussing the Celtics' future, the series is not over yet. There are still 2 games left and they need to survive Game 6 to enter the decisive match in Game 7.

Until no winner obviously, the Finals are not yet over.
1637  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: June 11, 2022, 02:26:52 PM
Bob Arum only cares about money in this and nothing else.

Bob Arum is a genius and knows how to handle the promoting business for a long.

You might be against some of his actions but admit it, without the help and influence of Bob Arum, the fight can even hit a sold-out.

He has lots of connections and totally recognized as the top promoter that's why when Top Rank was in-charge of a fight, it was a sure sold-out and the handled boxers will also take a big return.

Well if I have to advise him, it's better to just say it quit already. I know that he still can fight, but who is he going to fight then? There are a lot of young guys in the division that can give him a serious beating and we don't want to see Donaire getting knock out again.

Although I have to agree with you that Donaire should quit already, I disagree that those young guys in the Bantamweight are fully a threat to Donaire.

Donaire loses to Inoue as the latter is too much for him but believe me, Donaire can still pulverize those other boxers at the Bantamweight at this point of his career.
1638  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: June 11, 2022, 02:12:23 PM
Spence is stronger than Crawford for this time  I think this is a good fight they are both good and have a very strategic moves in the fight and in my perspective spence have a high chance if winning for this match even though  Crawford is strong but spence still my favorite as we saw the last fights of spence his determination and focus in the fight with a good footwork will help him to became a champion.

Before, I looked at Terence Crawford as the best and most dominant boxer compared to Errol Spence Jr. especially when the latter experienced a life-threatening car accident. But with how Spence Jr. regains his form after that crash, it's like a new Spence was born and become much more deadly.

I'm expecting Crawford to become a monster here as he is targeting Spence for a long. That excitement should lead to the release of his 100% best. But even with that impression of mine towards Crawford, I'm looking forward to Spence winning this match after witnessing how strong he becomes after rising from a serious accident.
1639  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Minor Protection From Gambling on: June 11, 2022, 02:00:29 PM
It would even be easier for them to access on crypto casinos, they don't need to fake their cards because some gambling sites has no KYC requirement. That's the trend these days already, we cannot give that burden to the government, parents should be more responsible in monitoring their minor children to ensure they are not gambling.

That's correct as these minors can get away from KYC by using crypto-casinos. However, these minors will have trouble funding their crypto-gambling site's account as they need the service of centralized exchanges in most cases.

Actually, prohibiting minors to gamble will just result in building confusion and curiosity among them.

There are no 100% preventive measures for minors not to be exposed to gambling. Gambling is everywhere! Instead of prohibiting them to do gambling, build instead an awareness of all the risks they will encounter once they enter the world of gambling.

If mikey willams want a price increase then for me it's okay because as we saw his performance last season he is very dominant in terms of playing good teammates and very strong player. 

Actually, Mikey Williams isn't satisfied with the rookie salary when he was first drafted. He is asking for more because he is confident that he's a beast.

The TNT didn't grant his request and follow the max salary for a rookie as it's like Williams should prove first that he is eligible on a much higher contract.

PBA champion (2021 Philippine)
PBA Finals MVP (2021 Philippine)
PBA Rookie of the Year (2021)
PBA First Mythical Team (2021)

He really deserves a much higher contract.
