In luck-based games like dice, slots, roulette, etc. that was common for people to use a sort of lucky stuff to defy the law of the house of edge and provably fair algorithm. Not just in online gambling but chances that we can also see it in a physical casino. There's no choice for them but to use that lucky stuff since no method or strategy is needed playing in luck-based gambling games.

In sports-betting or strategy-based games, these people can still use any mantra or lucky staff but they have to consider doing some analysis too to increase the chances of winning as these gambling games don't rely on 100% luck.

Slowly, these people should remove the thinking that these mantras will affect the chances of their winning.

Do others really think that if OP or anyone else that experiencing those medical conditions will stop gambling, it will be alright now?

Since when that Gastrointestinal problems are related to gambling? That's funny if someone will think of that. Even if we are losing in gambling, it won't trigger that problem and there's no correlation to that. Rather than blame the non-sense reason that it's because of gambling, think right away that they need to consult a medical expert. There's a big chance that the condition is already for long and it needs immediate medication.

I don't think people even in Mexico believe that Canelo won this match, I was even surprised that Canelo raised his hand, for what because he survived the fight or he still believes that its a close fight and he gets the win,

There's no issue regarding raising hands after the fight. It's common to see at the end of a match even a boxer is aware that the result won't be favored.

I believed too that if Canelo was able to show a close fight even Bivol is a clear winner, judges might turn the scorecard in favor of Canelo. There's a big money waiting for the anticipated Canelo vs GGG III that's why to put hype on that fight, Canelo needs to win.

Now that Canelo loses, I wonder who's the next opponent for GGG in September. Will he still push for a trilogy with Canelo or will change a target.

Dallas Mavericks is now trouble. They gave up a 19-point lead in a Conference Finals, it's alarming.

Still not an automatic win for the Warriors but the Mavericks should bounce back as much as they could next game. Game 3 is important. If they still lose it and are able to win at Game 4, it will be hard for them to return to Chase Arena with a 1-3 disadvantage. They need to even the series at all costs.

The same offensive power should be shown again by Luka's teammate or much better if more than that.
1705  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Eastern Conference Finals (Heat vs Celtics) on: May 20, 2022, 06:30:21 PM
And that series ends in 6, so most likely if Celtics will win 2 home games they'll advance in the NBA Finals. Butler is always good, unfortunately Celtics played better as a team.

That's the worst-case scenario for the Miami Heat. They need to force a win on either Game 3 or 4 playing at the Celtics arena for them not to be pressured once they return to their home crowd. Being down by 3-1 is a big problem and can't imagine the Boston Celtics will lose 3 times in a row.

But before we speculate that to happen, let's see if there are big adjustments too that Heat will do. If the Celtics are able to regain confidence after a big Game 1 loss, the Heat should also do the same after a big Game 2 loss playing as an Away team.

Crazy domination of Vietnam (although the number of gold medals compared to medals of other denominations looks suspicious). Can anyone explain what is causing this (other than Vietnam hosting these competitions)? As far as I remember, Vietnam does not show anything like this at the Olympics. I heard that this country is actively developing - maybe sporting achievements reflect this?

Hmm, where's the suspicious part? As a host country, Vietnam does have participants in almost all sports categories making it possible for them to bag more medals. They have the biggest delegates compared to their visitor countries. It's common to see the host country having more medals because of the big advantages.

Look at Cambodia, currently having the worst standing right? But surely, they will top the medal tally next SEA Games as the host country.
1707  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The worst odds of winning... on: May 20, 2022, 05:55:02 PM
I think the odds are heavily against Tiger Woods, because Rory McIlroy are on fire. Tiger Woods are shooting several bogeys ...and this is a trigger for him to lose his concentration ...and with a nagging injury, it will almost become too difficult for him to chase the leaders.

Actually, it's not that Tiger Woods has a disadvantage because of age or injuries but his opponents nowadays are really good even Woods is let's say in his prime, these guys can give him a problem and are hard to deal with. It will now end up on a bettor if they think Woods still has it.

Nothing wrong to place a small bet or even risking a big bet for the legend as who knows he might pull the trigger. He might be in their post-prime status but it doesn't mean their winning chance rate is low.
1708  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: May 20, 2022, 05:41:30 PM
That is also why Crawford kept on calling Spence while he's still on his prime because if he choose to fight Spence later on, he surely knows that it will be on his disadvantage because he also know that the latter is strong, capable and will be in his prime much longer compared to him as he's 2-3 older than the Spence.

Spence is also in his prime during that time and that was prior to the car accident. Crawford might end up losing against Spence.

The reason why Crawford is calling out Spence before is because he is pissed off and disappointed with his promoter for not giving him a chance to have a big fight. That's his dream but he never gets a shot to fight against big names. Since Spence is a big name and hype at that time, he kept on calling a fight with him.

But aside from Crawford not getting a chance to fight against big names, Spence itself is not interested before having a fight with him.
1709  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: PH banned online cockfighting - Worst gambling-related cases recorded! on: May 20, 2022, 04:59:28 AM
There's news recently that there are still hard-headed operators who are doing and operating online cockfighting. The authorities were able to hunt them down but their registered players are just a few since it's risky to make marketing for it by those agents. People are also questioning the legitimacy of these operators that's why they are hesitant to bet.

And there's also news that the upcoming new PH government will totally ban online cockfighting for good and that was favored by the majority.
1710  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Mark Magsayo vs Rey Vargas WBC Featherweight Title (July 9) on: May 20, 2022, 04:48:59 AM
Can’t see the odds yes but I go for Magsayo here, he looks sharp and focused which is a good sign for me.

Others are looking down at Magsayo because they are not happy with his performance in his last fight. They think Gary Russell is an easy opponent even with an arm injury and expect he is just a piece of candy against Magsayo. The champion fought hard that's why Magsayo struggles to win and we should appreciate that the champion didn't give the challenger Magsayo an easy fight.

As a bettor, if Magsayo is the underdog here then good for us bettors who want to place a bet. It's good that we will be able to place a bet for good odds while supporting and looking forward to him winning the match.

That's very odd. Not in my life will I ever experience this one. But There is a similar symptoms to drug addiction which they call withdrawals.  I'm not entirely aware of it but when they suddenly stop taking drugs, they experience this like vomiting and dizziness. And the advice is to gradually stop drug intake.

Maybe that is also a solution to this gambling addiction, you divert your addiction to sportsbetting or probably something that will divert your mind like chess game.

Those drugs are directly in-take by the body therefore it will really have changes when that person stopped the use of it.

It's different from gambling in the case of OP. Even if OP will stop gambling, those medical conditions he mentioned won't be gone but only those mental conditions. He needs to consult a doctor as I mentioned previously as gambling doesn't have to do with those physical conditions he mentioned like random body pains and changes in bowel habits, constipation, diarrhea, improper digestion, and anything related to that.
1712  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: May 19, 2022, 11:40:34 PM
It's okay to dream to be in a good team if you are earning minutes, in the case of Javi Gomez de Liaño, he does not earn good minutes. So now playing with Terrafirma will give him an opportunity to improve as he will definitely earn minutes if he still bring his talent in the PBA.

These SMC teams are playing with lower teams. They will trade a good prospect over a good prospect.

When the times come that they saw the full potential of these new players, I'm 100% sure something crazy trade will happen again between SMC teams and these lower teams if you know what I mean.

Anyways, Ginebra's newly acquired player from that trade won't able to play for a year. They have to wait until next year because of the injury happened.
1713  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Any changes experienced within body - Gambling??? on: May 19, 2022, 11:27:58 PM
Don't blame gambling for that.

You might already have a problem with your health condition and the changes are not because of gambling. The things you have mentioned are directly a physical condition and internal body problems. Not a mental condition like anxiety, or stress, that should be the common effect of gambling.

Consult a doctor already rather than discussing it here. Update us here.
1714  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 31st South East Asian Games on: May 19, 2022, 11:17:42 PM

Team PH already beat the host country Vietnam in a Men's Basketball with 28 point lead. As mentioned above, the pre-game handicap for the Philippines is -33.5 which the PH didn't cover as the score is 88-60, still a big lead. With that win, PH now has 99.9% to winning the Gold Medal.

2 games remaining for them, against Malaysia and Indonesia which should be no problem as they already beat those teams who beat these teams.

PH is really the Team USA in the SouthEast games in Basketball.
1715  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The worst odds of winning... on: May 18, 2022, 10:32:04 PM
Lots of factors to consider, player status, age, injuries regardless if it's minor or major, improving opponents, post-prime performance, etc.

But if you believe in the legendary Tiger Woods and you think he has lots of fuels left in the tank, that's a great opportunity to bet for him as you don't see that kind of odds being put on top players of All-Time on their respective sports.

It's common for great players that are already past their prime as their some rising stars who are now taking the stage.
1716  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: May 18, 2022, 10:18:36 PM
Even the PH won, I have a big concern here. PH is the most dominant country in basketball in Southeast Asia for years and they almost beat their opponents in a large lead regardless of who's on our roster pool. Here in their recent win against Thailand, PH was doing a rally all throughout the game as they are always behind.

Haha looks like they hear you.

After that unexpected Thailand performance against the Philippines that was supposed to be easy for the PH squad, Gilas back again into their monster form as to how it was they were supposed to be in Basketball here in SouthEast Asian games.

76-73 against Thailand - 3 points lead
100-32 against Cambodia - 68 points lead
88-37 against Singapore - 51 points lead
1717  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 31st South East Asian Games on: May 18, 2022, 05:25:15 AM
I love to bet on Basketball since I am following the PBA, so I would also love to bet on the Philippines on their remaining games if they still have. The last news I read, the Philippines won due to the huge effort of Fajardo, and I fail to put my bet on that game.

Even if you didn't fail to put a bet on that game, I doubt you will place a bet. The Philippine Basketball team is the top favorite to win the Gold medal. They are in their 14th consecutive Gold Medal quest in Southeast Asian games. There are 4 games remaining.

I think against Thailand and Cambodia their odds are just around 1.05-1.1. Not sure about Thailand but against Cambodia, I saw it was 1.05.

The Philippines will never be given high odds at SEA games basketball unless you want to accept that low odds.
1718  Economy / Gambling / Re: Gambling Brand Name Vs Site Functionality? Or Both? on: May 18, 2022, 02:46:21 AM
What do you think? I'd like to understand the mindset of some gambling operators and start ups. What do you consider to be the most important in your gambling startup? Great name or site functionality or both?

Obviously, should be both as that's necessary. While having a good brand name, make it to the point that services are also good which should be the priority. It should not just end up as a good brand name but also with quality service. It should be balanced.

I know and of course, it should be a good service over < brand name but I doubt, more users will be attracted to the site if the brand name turned out ugly. Remember that we are talking about new sites here and even though these sites are true to their words, I won't try a new site with an ugly name based on my own view.

Yes, that's true. As long as the website's functionality can work well and the casino can provide good service, I don't think the domain or website name will have much effect.

Again, we are talking about new sites.

I'm sure you won't end up using a new site with a horrible name just to test their quality of service. Will you?

For the match today, it's about to start now, Miami's advantage in the first game is that it will be in their home court so let's see how the Celtics will show up tonight.

Against Boston Celtics, homecourt will never be an advantage. It will all go down on both teams' performance.

Currently, Miami Heat finally gained the lead after a series of being down by around 10+ points in the first half. Other Celtics players are still silent and it's only Jayson Tatum who breaches over 10+ points for the team and 3rd quarter will almost finish now as of this moment.

On the other hand, Jimmy Butler is doing good for the Heat and as always, he is consistent in every game this playoff.
1720  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your NBA Champion this season? on: May 17, 2022, 11:56:18 PM
because Goldenstate Warriors ain't an easy team to bring down especially when they're playing at home.

The same goes for the Phoenix Suns arena where it's one of having the loudest audiences in the league. Phoenix Suns' winning rate in their home arena is over 90% but the Mavericks are able to still play well against their large crowd.

I'm sure Mavericks are already used to playing against the big crowd and they can expect it once they played at the Warriors' homecourt as we know how big the audiences are here and almost a big distraction already to the away team.
