The first thing that made me look is with your neutral trust that you're rigging or editing your bet slips and are for the fake fix matches. But if this happens to be there, I'd wish you good luck with this $1M bet.

I have no balls in doing this and probably that will be my lifetime savings that I'll never touch to do any crazy stuff. I'll take a pinch of it to bet but won't do such as an all-in.

So, if you prove us wrong you can do this and you've got some suggestions already. I want you to win with this bet that you're about to do.

Cavs did enough for me to lose my -10.5 bet on Celtics last time so I'm going to pick Cavs +15.5 @1.96 this time hehe.
Good luck, the ball is definitely balanced and round and no one will know until the game ends.
All I really care is winning the bet to be honest hehe. The first half is over and the Cavs are still holding on despite the absence of several key players. Garland is expected to carry this team again but Marcus Morris is playing surprisingly well. I'll be happy if they can keep the score close to the Celtics in the second half too.
And that bet was a loss, that's okay.

I am also like that even though I know that these odds would mean nothing when the favored team wins. I'd say that it's still a good match and Cleveland had made it this far again.

Dallas with this win put a feet in the final of conference but still a way to go, is not a easy team to beat Oklahoma, and i dont think they are gonna give up right now.
Props to OKC, they're still breathing. We'd see if the game 6 will be final for them or will take a revenge win.

Do any of you think the Cavs will have their last hurrah in game 5? Injury reports says that Mitchell is likely to miss this game again but I doubt he will pass the chance to play even if he is 80% fit. I think the Celtics will still wrap up the series later. Those extra days for rest and preparation in the conference Finals are important.
The majority is thinking that's going to be their last game. It's gonna be Celtics which will get in first than the others.
The bookies clearly agree to this with Celtics winning @1.05.

And with the other match, Nuggets and Timberwolves. Many were counting on the Timberwolves to win against the Nuggets and thought that they're the team that's going to stop them.

But being 3-2 and having 3 straight wins against them, okay, we move back to our boi Denver Nuggets.  Grin
It's looking like a reverse sweep. Jokic already figured out how to deal with the soft and slow Gobert.
Defensive man of the years versus the MVP, Jokic is really a genius on this one.

We all thought that they'd be the rival that can easily take the Nuggets down but no.

What's your opinion about this please?
let me guess, the guy is also religious? it is great that he found a way to stop his gambling through his beliefs but the guy is full of BS, I suggest ignoring it. religious people have claimed a lot of things to be satanic
For sure if he does, he prayed for his bets to win which is kind of odd for someone who's religious. But hey, we do get this a lot nowadays, right?  Cheesy

I still remember my religious grandma saying that coloring my hair is satanic and I am being influenced by demons through the music I was listening to.
This made my day and you made me laugh.

There's something odd to these extremely religious but look at them, you'd see something wrong with them that they don't notice. I am happy to see religious people and doing their faith but they should be limited to do that for themselves and not to meddle with others.

There could be real match fixing but this is gonna be exclusive to the actual big gamblers. Like can lose a million or half in a single bet.

But for the average Joes out there, I don't think that someone is going to tell that legitimately and has got that deep connection in the dark world of sportsbetting.
yeah maybe for those who can afford to pay millions of dollars just to be part of the fixing game
groups  because we are not talking small amount here instead millions or even billions if how much is
the involved money in each matches  so this also means a Impossible for OP to find one unless he
can prove that being capable of that million dollar group.
He might have that in circle but it's not going to be him who's got the real connection into that world of match fixing.

And if someone who's into it, he won't go into detail whether it's a public or private forum, they would just shut their mouths and won't tell anything about it.

@OP if there are people that tells you that they know where you can join a group, don't believe them.

-snip-

I have not visited the website he linked in the OP, but I think that the rest of us should also follow your advice,?just in case the OP is not sincere about his question and only wants to advertise an scam himself.

Fixes events are real, unfortunately (but not common, I hope), although I don't think that this info is available for the everyday Joe, and I would distrust anyone claiming the contrary because why would anyone share that info, instead of simply use it?

Depends on what's a teenager because this can be an 12 year old, or a 17 year old. While I feel like kids below 16 shouldn't be allowed in, most countries will allow 17 year olds in when they look old enough. It's a bit like situation with cigarettes. Smoking is discouraged but in most countries teenagers can buy smokes with no restrictions, unless they really look young, in such case the shop owner may decide to ask them for ID, but I remember that when we were young we'd choose the biggest and oldest looking guy from our group to buy stuff for us.
17 is acceptable for most of the countries and cultures that they are starting to think and act like a young adult.

There's always these cases where teens are able to avoid these kinds of restrictions from what the adults can do. And it becomes an achievement for them if ever they bypass the doors of the physical casinos and they are allowed to gamble.

There's that sense for them and that's why they treat it as a challenge for that simple thing until they gamble and develop that habit that they are having hard time to remove.

We need to understand that everyone intention is to make money and must of them if they don’t have what they are looking for it makes them feel so bad and they don’t know when they start being envy and feeling bad so the must important thing is to do the right things and congratulations the person and I don’t see any point of being greedy
Envy is everywhere and it is sad if it's on the skin of those people that are jealous of others winning in their lives.

Even in gambling, you can't avoid looking at those situations where people don't like to see you win whether with your bet or with your life.
Envy and jealousy are threat that are both in man naturally, we all have this threat in us, but what happens is that, many of us learn to control it and put it behind us those who fail to gain control over this threat are the ones who instead of being happy for you winning, they get jealous and envious instead, and one thing about envy and jealousy is that, it can't really be hidden, a person who is jealous can try as much as possible to hide it, but their eyes will always give such person away.

Personally, I feel it's better to always keep our winnings to ourselves, and only share it with people who don't know us, and we also do not know, like on this forum and any other online platform out there, people who don't know you in person are more likely to not jealous or envy you when you share your winning with them,  than compared to those who are really close and sometimes, does things together with you and so on.
It is true.

Jealousy and envy can't be hidden, you'd see these people that are acting strangely about something you do and when you're winning.

Their actions speak better than their words and that's why if there's someone that's jealous and has an envy on you, you have to avoid that guy.

@OP if there are people that tells you that they know where you can join a group, don't believe them.

Because later, they're going to ask you with some joining fee or VIP fees that will encourage you to join them. They might even show you some receipt that they're legitimate but I don't know about those.

Those can be altered and generated by them. I'd agree with what oshosondy said that you should gamble for fun or DYOR when you're going to bet for certain sports.
32  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you consider yourself, the family and gambling? on: May 10, 2024, 11:37:48 PM
Kids are different nowadays, we're different from them and instead of avoiding, they'd dig deeper why you want them to avoid it.

This is because children today's curiosity is very high regarding prohibitions or challenges.
we have to explain carefully so that their understanding can be better. determine the readiness and age of children when they can reason about good and bad things.
we have to be more aware nowadays that children are less likely to be banned or ranked. they want to be understood and they have to get what they want.
Letting them find out for themselves regarding gambling is also not good. especially if they know about gambling from their friends. the process may be more difficult for parents or families to control.
There should be a balance on it and you're right about the latter part. But for me, it's best if I don't give them any clue what gambling is.

And if the time comes they're able to find out and discover gambling, then that's the time I'll start to talk about it and tell them what are the possible implications that might happen to them.
33  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you consider yourself, the family and gambling? on: May 10, 2024, 05:44:17 PM
I won't mention gambling to them at that age. Well, if they happen to discover that, then that's the time that I'd be stepping in.

I know that there are good implications of introducing them while they're young so they will know what to do and how to avoid it.

But that's not what I am thinking, if I mention that to them because of how curious their minds are at that age, they're going to do something in finding out why I've mentioned it to them to avoid it.

There are things that children from 8 to 12 years old should not be taught Because it would ruin their Childhood and that is something that is not fair, that is why when a person tries to open a child's eyes too much it is going to Hurt them, I think that every child needs to go through all its stages , we cannot anticipate them because that is not something Healthy and that is Something that should not be done, it is better that if they are games of chance you know them but that they play From the age of 18 it is the best now when they are more mature in what they do, the rest would be completely crazy, and I do not agree with them getting ahead of themselves in Doing things like that.
I've been there and able to learn gambling at a young age. I don't want any kids and mine to have that idea that there's this thing which is gambling.

To those that are saying that it's good to give them some idea about it so that they can have an idea for them to avoid it.

34  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you consider yourself, the family and gambling? on: May 09, 2024, 11:24:35 PM
Like kids who are above 8–12 years old, they are smarter than we can ever imagine, so it's best we teach them how to go about gambling while warning them at the end not to engage in it until they reach a certain age, using the risk involved and regulatory violations as reasons for them not to engage in gambling until they are off-age.

35  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: May 09, 2024, 10:30:50 PM
That makes sense.

For the other known players that have done crazy things too, they're just fined. They've probably got metrics on who's going to be suspended and who's going to be just fined.

Anyway, that really made Murray pissed when he's guarded and doubled by the Timberwolves. They know how weak he is mentally and sure Finch will do the same tactic on their next meeting.

I guess the player history has a whole lot to do with how the fines and/or suspension are ditched out, If it were to be Draymond Green who did that yesterday, I'm sure at least a game suspension would have been included, Jamal Murray isn't known to be such a person with violent character and isn't much of a repetitive offender in this case, hence the need for just a fine alone was probably the best way to show leniency, but I can guarantee that and future antic like this would attract a more stiff penalty, just like the case of Pat Beverley I made mention of earlier, I just read a report from Shams Charania who said according to his source, the Indianapolis Police are currently reviewing the case of Pat Bev, and regardless of the legal outcome, I'm quite sure there will be a hefty penalty for Bev from the league's office, Suspension most likely without pay and heavy fine too, at the very least.
Yeah, that might count as a contribution to the verdict as he did that on that occasion but he doesn't do it oftentimes. If he do it again for the next games, then that's when the suspension might come but I don't think it's necessary anymore as they'd be out of the playoffs then. So, a fine as good as before.

And unless the player really push the button of the NBA, they won't simply put heavy penalties for the superstars in the league. Murray doesn't have history of being dirty though and perhaps that is also taken into account.

But I do agree, it players how has precedent already like Draymond Green, not just hefty fines, he could even be suspended even if it is playoff time. So we can say that NBA are someone favoring certain players and it's very obvious in the case of Jamal Murray here.
Yeah, you guys are right about that. The history of the player probably did the thing there and about that.

But to be honest, that's sort of a dangerous maneuver that he did there. Yeah, no one got hurt but I am imagining what if it's on the intense rebounding and blocking and then a player suddenly slid to that pack with strong impact.
36  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: May 08, 2024, 11:32:48 PM
The fine that was given to Jamal Murray is $100k for that heat pack thrown on the floor. IMHO, they should have suspended him for the remaining games.
A suspension may have been handed down if it was some role player who did that. Maybe part of the decision to just fine him is that nobody actually got hurt. If the NBA could not suspend the like of Draymond for kicking balls then they cannot suspend Murray for throwing things on the floor.
That makes sense.

For the other known players that have done crazy things too, they're just fined. They've probably got metrics on who's going to be suspended and who's going to be just fined.

That shows how much they respect each other teams and whatever the reason he's got for doing that, for sure that it's because he's truly pissed with the Wolves defense.

With that, it's going to serve as a lesson not just for him but also for the other teams to remain themselves composure and professional even if the game isn't favoring them.
38  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which device do you prefer for gambling ? on: May 07, 2024, 11:28:17 PM
yes, I have exactly the same approach. Also, if we are talking about sports betting, then I use a PC more often since it is more a matter of habit. This way you can more carefully study all the events that are included in the forecast. And for games, a phone is ideal, today they absolutely 100% optimized for this
Works the same thing for me.

I usually use my desktop PC for everything that I do related to gambling. Sometimes, I'd use smaller devices when I am away from home and that's very handy.

But that only happens if I am on the go and when I am staying at home, no doubt that I'm using my PC for it because I find it to be more comfy than using the other devices that I have.
Then i like the idea that we all make use of more than one device in gambling, just as to make it easy and satisfying for us regardless of where we are, we can easily make use of any available device to gamble, which also means that we will have full access to gambling at our own will anything we wanted to, most times, we can make use of a specific device in gambling depending on the game we are playing and how we most preferred the view on the device we uses, this makes many of us have this decision on having alternative log in device for gambling.
Yes, you should try that.

And whichever is making you comfortable in doing that, you should check it out. That's the purpose of having multiple devices that's specific to the use wherever you are.

Desktop at home, laptop everywhere and tablets and smartphones on the go.
39  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you care about what people say about you gambling? on: May 07, 2024, 10:20:04 PM
which makes other people care about gamblers because they see the big effects that result beyond limits, such as selling goods, losing responsibility, reducing common sense. This causes family and friends to take the initiative to provide advice on reducing gambling activities when gamblers are given the motivation that they are actually aware of the situation. but on the other hand, gamblers have high hopes of getting the win,
And when you're at that state, it only means that you don't care what others are saying about you. You sell stuff, goods and everything you own because you have no money left to gamble.

That's the highest level of gambling addiction or close to it when you're doing that already. When you hear people say such things about you, it's going to be annoying because all you're doing is to do unnecessary things that will put you into a more bad situation.

To me, I don't care what they say but I am aware of my status when I gamble.

Game 1 of the Knicks vs. Pacers will be starting soon but I still cannot decide how to bet on this one. Knicks are surprisingly the huge favorite but perhaps that's because of their home court advantage.
You can skip the game 1 and see what will happen and then when it comes to game 2, that's you decide if you're going to bet or not.

I think the Pacers play better as a whole but Jalen Brunson is a real threat against any team right now. He'll probably drop another 30 points later.
It is hard to predict because the performance that they've done earlier could be different this time against the NYK.

Brunson is no doubt underrated but he's certainly the ace of the team.
