I thought it's an easy win for San Miguel Beermen after the half as they are in the big lead in almost the entire game. The highest lead they got is 24 points. But to my surprised when I check the scoreboard, Ginebra makes a rally and cut down the lead by 4 in the 4th quarter.

I'm now in the idea that if Ginebra is down by at least 20+ points, it's good to consider taking a shot at them in the Moneyline in live betting.

Although they didn't win that game, I'm sure the live betting odds is worth to take a risk especially against a top team. Although looking at the remaining game schedule for Ginebra, it's only against the Meralco where I can consider one of the toughest which currently in a 5-1 W/L record.

It can happened on sports competition especially local competition. Like here in our place, there are lots of good billiard players here but lack of funds to compete. There are guys called "manager" and the one doing the whole finance on that player. The agreement will now be between them and won't be disclosed to anyone.

There are also cases in gambling where players combined their money for a larger bankroll.

In that case to your story, you should also look at the other side of the story. What if both parties agreed?

I'm sure that person who take that service is not that dumb to just allow its money to be put on risk. Right?

I will assume that before foolishness take effect on that said gambler, these guys successfully nailed some big winnings out from taking a loan. The experience they have got on doing that makes them feel always excited and thrilled that's why as much as possible they will do gambling whatever it takes.

I have a conclusion like that since, if these people don't experience winnings out from taking a loan, they won't repeat that since after all, the excitement is not there. So I think, as I mentioned, these guys won a decent and very good amount and want to take taste that winning experience again.

Unfortunately, that's not what happened later on and they are now chasing that experience again without realizing they are now in a heavy debt.

I understand what you are trying to achieve but personally in my opinion, and believe me, something like that will not work. Even with enough guidance and advise, the future of these new gamblers will depend on their respective own approach. Only them can help themselves to become a responsible gamblers while progressing on their gambling activity.

An addicted gambler won't bother to read threads like that as they already under on the trap of gambling.

I admire your initiative but maybe just try to always help those you think in need around you or in your local community.

It's because the Christmas bonus has nothing to do with everyone's gambling habit.

I'm sure for most gamblers here, regardless if they have a Christmas or Holiday bonus, their gambling activity won't be changed and maybe they will even add more budget to their gambling session. The best part is, no pressure at all, and the gambling activity will just be relaxed because of the improved bankroll.

But with that improved bankroll, as always, everyone should take care of it properly and don't make an attempt to always do a risky bet.

Don't bet if you feel stressed. Sports betting is not for those types of bettors.

It's just common to experience to feel disappointed when we lose. But to feel pressured and stressed, stay away from sports betting.

Gambling should be fun, maybe right, but if you do gambling for fun, you shouldn't be disappointed when you lose. Simple as that.

Yes, I'm willing to risk that kind of amount with those juicy odds, however, it's something that I won't try often.

Pure luck is needed on that kind of attempt. There's no skill involved there. Even how good a bettor is, hitting those odds has low chances.

Congratulations on that bettor but shouldn't be a good practice to always try that kind of risk.

My gambling finances will still be usual regardless of the season. Simply, I will just gamble whenever I feel it.

Whatever the budget, whatever I have as my extra money and anything, it's always my practice to just gamble if I want to gamble at that time. Maybe it's not the budget for gambling that will be affected this Holiday season but rather my time. Since this month is full of busy activities, I might spend less time gambling now and actually, it's happening currently.

Good chance to take a break from gambling but I will still try to do that in my free time as I do really love to play gambling.

Human nature. It's usual and common to happen.

What happened there is, that our emotion is being affected by what happened around us. Not just in gambling, but that change of mood can be triggered by any given situation. In that case in a change of behaviour because of gambling, we should try to be responsible in our actions especially coming from a losing session.

In my case, I'd rather just be silent and quiet after losing and try to be as cool as possible, especially after a big loss. I don't want people around me to get involved in my bad mood not unless they are talking crap that bothers me even though at the moment I'm in my usual mood lol.

Case-to-case basis. The answer depends on how responsible they are even while being both gamblers.

Case A: If they are gambling for long but outside gambling, they do their responsibilities properly, I don't see any reason why should they quit.

Case B: Let's say they are worse to the point that now reaching a financial crisis because of gambling, someone or somebody should step into these families and help them. The reason why they should be helped by others is, these gamblers won't stop doing gambling as they are now fall on the gambling trap.

If the level of gambling addiction is already at its peak and now in the stage where it's uncontrollable, how can these people be able to help their own?

These people with that high level of addiction will really keep that problem to themselves and won't talk about it to anyone, even with their family and close friends. It's hard and tough. In that particular situation, someone has to step up to help that gambler even by force if necessary.

On the other hand, if the level of addiction is still tolerable, there's always a chance for these people to help themselves on their own without the help of others. It now depends on how strong they are to battle their temptation to do gambling. It's tough work too but if successfully done, what a relief.

And that next one might be a big win. That mindset is always on the gambler's mind that's why they continue to play even amid losing.

What if they won big the next time they played? What if they won that big multiplier that they never imagined experiencing? Those are some of the situations they are expecting and hoping to achieve that's why even after losing lots of money now in the process, gamblers will just continue.

It's the trap of gambling. It's fine to continue playing as long as we remain responsible for our actions outside the gambling world.

You have to mention that 2 altcoins you are referring to somehow give you a much more appropriate answer. There are lots of good exchanges around to start trading however since you pinpoint those 2 altcoins, we can't answer you in general as some altcoins are listed in specific exchanges.

Anyway, I hope you understand what you are dealing with. Always be cautious with an altcoin that pumps crazy in less than 24 hours.

Taking that ride is a clear sign of being under a FOMO.

Seriously, I was just able to hold around a million worth of value in my local currency because of my involvement in crypto.

I wouldn't experienced having that kind of money if I only relied on my monthly salary in my day job before even working for several years up to decades. Because of crypto, I never imagined some of the good things that happened in my life that I didn't even expect to happen. Able to build our own house, own a car, 2 motorcycles, a decent brand bicycle, an upgraded PC, and many more. I didn't expect those things to happen in reality as I'm just an average earner.

Although lack BTC funds right now and have a short now to financial budget unlike before, what matters is, that I am able to take advantage of my crypto profits.

It's not that bettors are frightened to bet against Barcelona but they tend to side with what would be the closest thing that can happen.

Your own analysis and view later about what happened on that bet slip was created because you already know the result.

What if the other way around happened?

That kind of risk is something you can't expect to always happen even how confident we are taking that risk. Still, I will side and rely on the most probable to happen with the help of my own strategy instead of always taking huge odds just because I'm confident to take the risks.

It's easy to say but it's hard to do. You won't understand what's the actual feeling in that situation if you are just a casual gambler.

Hard to resist stopping when your bankroll just doubled playing. There's always in our mind pushing us to continue playing since we are lucky that time. Why should we stop in the first place is always dominating our minds. If the gambler was really able to control themselves to stop on that session once their bankroll got double, then good for them.

For me, it's fine not to stop right away after getting a big profit in a session as long as we just have to make sure that later on, we will cash out some of our wins.

Good for you OP that you learned something good in your gambling experience.

Don't make your quitting too much complicated. If you want to quit gambling then quit for good.

Investing in gambling by giving a loan to gamblers is not a good idea. Even if you have a written contract, how can they pay you when they get wrecked playing? Instead, use your money to establish a good business that fits your interest. It's fun to do business on something you really like.

Only invest in gambling if it's about building a gambling site but of course, you should be knowledgeable in that field first.

Actually di ko sineseryoso yang GScore at di ko na lang namalayan na tumaas na pala. Nasa 600 iyong Gscore ko nung naactivate si Gcredit. Iyong Gloan dati na-offerran ako ng Php 20,000 last 2019, ang GScore ko that time is 700. Gamit na gamit lang Gcash ko sa Pay Bills (Meralco, Internet), Buy Load, saka dito ako lagi nagtotop-up ng RFID both Easytrip and Autosweep at madalas kami bmyahe.

Bale ang total fee is 25 pesos sa coins.ph thru DragonPay then 10 pesos sa Gcash via Gcredit payment.

Sa ngayon thru coins.ph ang pinakaconvenient na way sa akin ng pagconvert ng Gcredit. Anyway, wag masilaw sa Gcredit ah kasi loan pa rin un hehe. Gamitin lang kung kinakailangan talaga. Wag ring magpapabaya sa pagbayad dahil laking kabawasan sa score.

And since these streamers also paid for a number of views, they will just continue to create gambling-related content specifically targeting those gambling community audiences regardless if they are affiliated or not by these gambling sites. In most cases, some gambling streamers are not really partnered with a gambling site. They just want to lure viewers to their channels and show their experience regarding that gambling site.


I don't believe that those winnings are paid by the casino intentionally and these guys are using a specific program provided by the gambling site to increase the probability of winning. Since they are partnered with the casino, they will be given a huge bankroll to play with. In gambling, the longer your bankroll lasts, the more chances to win big and that's the reason why paid streamers always win big in their stream.
