or make peace with Sean Gibbons so he can go back to MP Promotion and then talk about what would be the best for his career but definitely, a move up in weight is inevitable.

Making peace with Sean Gibbons has a lower chance to happen compared to winning in a casino haha.

Casimero called Sean Gibbons as Gay and with the pride he has, it's impossible for me that he will go back to MP Promotions. But I'm looking forward that he will soon have his fight to start again his goal of becoming a champion.

Lesson learned, be humble at all times and don't count eggs until they hatched.

To be clear to you guys, cockfighting is not banned in the PH, only the "online betting" of cockfights was put to a halt.

Yes, others think that cockfighting is totally banned without realizing it's only on the online part.

One of my friends posted that one of the arena was now opened near them as restrictions are now getting lighter. Maybe it was opened and live-action commenced because there's no business now in online cockfighting.

Physical gambling was now back but since online cockfighting is much more alarming, it was put on halt asap.

I know someone who loses and take a loan to play again hoping to win it back, however end up losing again with additional debts to pay. I didn't knew people could be like that because of gambling addiction. Also this man is borrowing money from everyone in his family including close friends, with no second thoughts. I don't know if 6k USD is a big money for you but in my case it would really hurt me to lose it in an instant, and that is the case for this man I know.

That's one of the negative effects of gambling on people. It's called chasing the loss.

But in that situation, I will not blame why that happened because of gambling as we should be responsible at all times. That person you know falls into the trap and I feel sorry for that person. For some, it's really hard to battle the temptation especially when they are losing.

They will take loans and instead of winning, they will end up busted more. Only them can help themselves in that situation.
1764  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Celtics vs Bucks 2nd round Series. on: May 05, 2022, 11:42:46 PM
I don't doubt the capabilities of the Bucks especially Giannis on the court who always puts his best to try and carry the team to win every game but I won't deny that I'm not that sure that they still got this series even if they have the size advantage for the most opposite roster. Boston Celtics didn't failed to improve against heavy teams in the league. Might be best to watch the Game 3 first as the Bucks still got some chance to bounce back.

When a team was able to even the series, it's hard to speculate what will happen next or to determine who has the advantage.

We have to wait on Game 3 as the previous games are more in the testing phase for both teams. Bucks now saw how Celtics play while on the other hand, Celtics also did the same. They now see their respective capability that's why next game, there will surely be an adjustment.

What are those adjustments? We will only see in the actual game.
1765  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Dmitry Bivol - May 7 on: May 04, 2022, 11:53:26 PM
I have little doubts that Canelo is the best pound by pound boxer right now, however I agree with your assessment, the place to silence those doubts was the second fight, even if Canelo were to win convincingly during the upcoming third fight we will always know that he beat a GGG that was not at his best anymore, now despite all of this I do not blame Canelo, GGG is a great fighter and it seems that his style is particularly difficult for Canelo to figure out.

Not the very best but at least closed to that. Defeating Bivol will give him another pound-for-pound achievement.

About fighting against GGG, there will be no massive request for the trilogy if Canelo's win over GGG is not questionable. And on the other hand, a trilogy is really necessary as their first bout is DRAW. Anyways, let's not talk about that. Canelo needs to pass Bivol first before they can talk about the trilogy with GGG in September.

Losing against Bivol, no trilogy with GGG - that's the situation here.

I guess this online sabong didn't have that kind of personnel who gives warning if you are losing too much. Gambling should not be a problem if someone just play for the sake of fun but if they think they can make money from it then there's something wrong with that person.

Do you believe in gambling for fun? It doesn't happen, mate. Those who are saying they are gambling for fun also want to make a profit. Don't believe those who are saying that because in their inner self, they are desiring to win. And that's the start of being addicted.

Congratulations to those who can fight the temptation after a big loss. That's a good personality. However, it's unfortunate that there are others who like to chase losses. Since it's easy and convenient to play this online cockfighting, many people become addicted to it.

It should be stopped if the situation is now really worst and it can't be controlled anymore.
1767  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you Still Supporting And Playing On Newly Launch Casinos on: May 03, 2022, 11:47:36 PM
Seriously I see no reason why I should try other casinos since am satisfied with the current once am using, the once am using are not really giving me any problem so am okay with them. If I want to start using another casino site I believe am just risking my money because as you just said there are good and bad once currently, what if I ended up using the bad one them my funs is gone already. Currently I don't want to take any unnecessary risk since am not having problem with the once am using.

After all, no one is forcing people to test these newly launched sites. If that's your stand then so be it.

It's not that new sites are automatic red flags and risky already. We can see them somehow if they are serious and have a legit service. If there are promotions that are worth testing, it's really not that wrong to test it. If really not comfortable, let the others do the testing and wait for more feedback.

Currently I don't want to take any unnecessary risk since am not having problem with the once am using.

I hope that mindset of yours won't be changed and you should not just apply it to gambling.
1768  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Think New Casino Should Partnered With Bounty Managers To Gain Trust? on: May 03, 2022, 11:37:51 PM
Actually partnering with a bounty manager doesn't really have much effect on the casino. This may have little impact on a casino project that has experienced managers and its launch is sure to end in success. what has to be done is the Team has to work alone to build trust in the Casino, the most important thing is how to run the Casino to gain the trust of the players. Some people may think that if the Casino cooperates with the Bounty Manager, it will be more effective in the future. However, the manager cannot be held liable once the casino has officially launched. I myself hope that the Casino team can manage it better, so that trust is built to use the Casino as a place to play.

It's pretty obvious that while the new casino will hire the service of a campaign manager, they will do their best to give their users an excellent service on their site. If there will be lots of complaints at that new site, it will reflect their incompetence in handling the situation. If will continue, the campaign manager itself might opt out with the management.

Hiring reputable campaign managers should not be the finish line. The site's service is what matters for the new site's marketing to become effective.
1769  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Horse Racing and Gambling on it should be banned on: May 03, 2022, 11:24:31 PM
I would be interested to know how betting on animals helps people? As food, everything is clear to me, but as a subject of bets - no. Would you care to enlighten me on this matter?

Maybe the user means is by the general.

Since horse betting is a large industry, it helps people on the economic side. It produces jobs and money to support people. If it will be totally banned, it's a big loss in the employment rate.

We should not overreact to animal cruelty because legit horse racing is regulated by the government. If they will do an improper act, they will face the consequences of the law. Horse racing is not what others think as easy as simply running horses. There are guidelines and terms about the proper way of treating horses here before placing them on the race track.

Well, we don't know what's in their mind. If they're willing to trade then during the interview, they have already said that and the player would make up his mind to allow him to stay.
We don't know what's going to happen with all of them but the next conference is coming. So whether you think it's nonsense, it's okay and if I think that's brilliant for them asking who's willing to stay for their careers, it's also okay.

Maybe the purpose of the exit interview is only for those players who are likely to get traded. Like a briefing that they will be traded possibly but no exact timeframe is given. It's awkward if the said player will insist to stay knowing they become a candidate for the trade which means the team already didn't approve of the recent performance they have shown in the post-elimination round.

In my own opinion, this exit interview should just be done after the All-Filipino Cup. It's really hard for locals to make an adjustment if all the time, the play is designed for the import. It's good to judge and rate these locals after an All-Filipino Cup where no imports are part of the rotation.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/33834967/terence-crawford-says-wants-go-straight-fight-errol-spence-next%3fplatform=amp

Please make this fight happen.  This would be the fight of the year.  I like Crawford in this fight.  Wonder what the odds would be.  Who does everyone like in this fight if it goes down finally?

I think most boxing fans, or even not, are anticipating that the fight between Crawford and Spence will now close on being come true. This fight was already on a massive request and demand before but seems Bob Arum is stopping it for his unknown personal reasons and at the same time, Spence involves in a car accident in 2019. There's should be no stopping now and this fight should be official. There are no other boxers that Crawford and Spence have to fight next but only against each other. They should ignore other names as those are not close to being qualified. If finally negotiated, this fight might happen in September. The same month of the possible trilogy between GGG and Canelo.

More big fights are expected to happen this year!

So let's discuss the series of the number 2 and 3 in the West.

Warriors vs Memphis.

Who's gonna win the series?

I can't really make a wild guess here, for now, even just a simple speculation or prediction, as referring to Game 1, the game is really close, and guessing the winner during the Live game is really hard and tough. We don't even have a clear winner in a few seconds remaining of the game as lots of chances for both teams to win the game.

We should wait for Game 2 and check if either of the team won't able to hang on. I want to see that close game ending again until the few seconds remaining.

Aside from that, should be no call controversies or related stuff.
1773  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA _ Phoenix Suns vs Dallas Mavericks - 2nd round on: May 02, 2022, 10:59:32 PM
Head to head record.
Mavericks have never won a single game in the last 9 games they met.
Will that record be enough to determine that the Mavericks here as no chance to win?

I don't really consider head-to-head games record in Playoffs since the different levels of plays are being shown here. Maybe I will just pick based on Favorites which is the Dallas Mavericks since, in the first place, I'm seeing their current roster can match the Phoenix Suns even how good they are the whole season. Mavericks today is not just Luka but his teammates are also improving and contributing to winning every game.

The shooting FG percentage of most Mavericks is impressive against the Utah Jazz. That performance can always repeat even against the top team like the Phoenix Suns which is also one of the teams that has a good FG percentage in the whole season.
1774  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Miami Heat vs Philadelphia 76ers - 2nd round (Let's discuss) on: May 02, 2022, 10:48:59 PM
The series is going to start off in an hour. Heat are hosting 76ers in the first leg and bookmakers think that we will have an absolute Heat victory here. But I don't think that it would be very easy even if they win this game. Embiid isn't going to be able to play for 76ers indeed. But they are still a solid team and they would do a good job here hopefully. I've decided to watch this game so I hope it doesn't become boring any time. But I also feel like Heat will start with a win. They wouldn't waste this good opportunity as 76ers are deprived of one of their crucial players.

Sixers don't have a deep bench that can support the starters. They are not really solid when Joel Embiid is not there. It's going to be hard work to cover the absence of Embiid and we all know how always big this big guy is contributing in every game for the team. Embiid is also the only one dominating the position on Sixers. No backup, no replacement, no coverup.

This is a big challenge for the remaining squad of Sixers and let's see who from them will step up later in their Game 1 series.

The brother of Matt Ganuelas-Rosser is expected to be the top draft pick in the upcoming PBA draft next month.

He is Brandon Ganuelas-Rosser who also plays at PBA 3x3 tournaments.

At the height of 6 foot 7 inches, he will surely be targeted at those teams who will have the opportunity to pick early. I hope he will be picked by Converge (former Alaska) for talents to be spread out at all teams and not just within SMC and MVP teams.
1776  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Klay Thompson @51 for NBA Finals MVP. on: April 30, 2022, 06:37:12 AM
BTW, have you ever thought of taking the odds of Giannis? Just in case the Bucks will win a back to back championship, for sure Giannis will win again.

Yes, it's going to be Giannis again at a high chance but looks like OP is not a fan of taking low odds. Since Giannis is expected to be the MVP for this in case they will win the championship, don't expect high odds for him. It's really difficult to choose who's probably the Finals MVP since lots of teams deserve to be in the Finals and the competition is close looking at all teams that made the second round of the playoffs.

Let's just follow our own decision since that's the only thing we can rely on. Even an NBA analyst will have a hard time analyzing who's gonna be the Finals MVP.

But for sure, Klay Thompson @51 is a good choice if anyone believes that he can get it.
1777  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: April 30, 2022, 06:12:03 AM
They have a good lead, but they don't know how to protect it, under pressure they simply perform very bad. Maybe the team still lacks the experience, they have a good player but NBA is a learning process.

They are on the same boat in terms of playoffs experience. It's just Memphis Grizzlies got the win at the end. There are lots of players in the Timberwolves who become missing in action in this important game they need to win e.g D'Angelo Russell, Karl-Anthony Towns.

As in every playoffs exit, better luck next time. Their young player Anthony Edwards does have a great future. Good to surround him with some good role players.

Congrats to Memphis Grizzlies. The majority of their players contribute to that win.
1778  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: April 30, 2022, 05:05:55 AM
What do you guys think, is this planned all along by the opposing team? I hope not but it's also hard to deny not to look that way because Butler and his camp has been throwing rocks all along even before Casimero haven't caught in the act. I have read in the past that Probellum's main boy is Butler and with Casimero on the same roof would definitely cause rivalry that only one will continue to rise.

It's impossible that it's a stage and planned. The rules and terms about using the sauna are already there for a long.

There's clear evidence that Casimero's camp violates, how can that be staged? We should blame the whole Casimero camp here including Casimero itself since how come they don't have any idea about the rules of British Boxing.

Lesson learned that they should always be aware of the boxing terms in any region. Ignorance of the terms excuses no one even the boxer involved is a champion.
1779  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: 🔥2022 Pandemic Popular Items🔥 on: April 30, 2022, 03:09:03 AM
Do you have a website or only operating through Telegram? About the game, how do you pick the winner? I am not sure if some people here are interested to Telegram lottery games. It looks like the OP is new and doesn't know yet how things works here in the forum.

The website is given in the introduction: https://777hash.cc

Not judging by the looks and conclude everything on it but the site is not catchy. It's good to have a plain and simple look but sorry, I can't trust my money on them. If there's no effort into building good looks, how much more on the service. It's hard to win in a lottery why should I add risks for them.

And checking their lottery list, the minimum about to bet is 10 USDT or 100 TRX. Not a budget-friendly amount for a lottery where the chances of winning are low. It also looked too rushed for me to grab some bucks from users.
1780  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Hard earned money - Busted in seconds on: April 30, 2022, 02:26:54 AM
It was almost two months hard earned money. Got busted in few minutes. I don't know why I wasn't able to have me within the limits. Just started with a $3 bet, but it went upto $98 and ended with empty wallet. This is completely unlucky, because every bets were placed to roll above 20 which means the winning probability is quite high. Anyhow I wasn't in control and I didn't follow the rule gamble what you can afford to loss. It was a money saved to repay a debt. Now once again the interest needs to be paid so to manage the debt for some more time. Unlucky me  Sad Sad Sad

No choice but to fight the temptation. Only you can help yourself.

I understand the feeling after a big loss and what I just do is, accept how hard it is, stay away from gambling for a few days, then come back betting with a conditioned and relaxed mind. I won't suggest quitting gambling just because of that as we are in still control but just needs to take a break to understand what part did we do something wrong.

But before going back to gambling, please take time to save first to pay your debt. Take that as a lesson and I'm sure you understand what you did.
