The Celtics are absolutely blowing GSW away. 82 points for Celtics in 1st half while the Warriors just managed 38. 82-38 half time score. Is there any chance for Warriors to make a comeback? Would be an epic comeback, one for the ages, if it does happen. Highly unlikely though. Curry has only 4 points in the first half.
Rob Hale (one of the owners for the Celtics) is certainly having a good season so far! I used to work with him at his telecom corporation, if you havent' looked him up he has quite a crazy story, (just google Rob Hale). Anyhow, it surely wouild be something if the Warriors were to make a comeback from being down 44 points! I wonder what the betting odds on that woud win if you placed some kind of crazy parlay, probably a lot!! |

That's amazing! Congratulations Otoh, this sale was an absolute hit! This was a win win win for everyone involved. Didn't you say you meant to do another one with Heritage soon? Yes indeed, I am in talks with them now about that, if it goes ahead then there'll be much more variety and rares on offer this next time, I don't want to list more than the present physical crypto collectors market can comfortably absorb, but on the other hand I do want to make a bigger splash with an amazing catalogue, and maybe facilitate some whale/s to make a potential one off world class collection/s in an easy swoop if they liked, and to also allow others to pick up some of the rarer gems that are getting very hard to source nowadays, so I have inventoried for a Part 2 and am awaiting their feedback on that. A lot of the coins I had slabbed by ANACS between 2014 and 2016, most in early 2014, when they were the only game in town for that, so they have great provenance, kind of like the old green label slabs for regular coins from PCGS, and also it wouldn't have been cost effective for anyone to make forgeries back then so that helps, the only issue though is ANACS were very slack and didn't give many of the coin's addresses on their verification links page, or photos of them, they did offer to put this right afterwards but I didn't want to keep shipping them back and forth as they were rising in value a lot, so I'll need to decide if keeping the old slabs, asking Heritage to send photos to ANACS and the addresses for them to add, or to re-slab them with NGC in 'Otoh Collection' slabs instead, I did feel that ANACS graded them rather conservatively back then as well, so it could be that they'd do better now if resubmitted to NGC, but perhaps Heritage will think that maybe the market could prefer them in the old slabs, no idea or preference myself, and I will be guided by them on it all. Very exciting news! Thanks for that update. Hmmmm that is surely quite a predicament you've got yourself in. I would have to agree on your comparison to the green labled slabs w/ PCGS for those crypto ANACS slabs. That is definitely a tough nut to crack. Honestly you might be right though in what you said about them being graded very conservatively and might be better off getting them re-slabbed/re-graded through NGC, as you said. I think just for your namesake alone having them slabbed and labled with your collection pedigree would be more appealing to the collection but on the other hand the ANACS slabs offer a vintage feel and are semi historic being that you can't replace them becuase ANACS doesn't grade crypto anymore (Pity). Good luck with the gathering and careful consideration here! I'm sure this next sale of yours is going to be quite the sight! |

You feel excited when you win of course, but I think I can speak for everyone that it is the opposite when you lose! That excitement can turn sour in an instant with the simple pair of cards or the roll of the dice! You've got to take your chances and risk it to get the biscut! But at the same time, you have to be responsible and know when to say enough is enough. You have to keep your emotions at bay!
The Op did not mention that his case is that of pain due to lack of winning. It is normal just as you have explained, a gambler will feel excited when winning and bad when losing takes over. The level of pain is dependent on if the gambler use amount he cannot lose without distress. A situation where the gambler is losing seriously yet feeling excited is a case of addiction, the type of addiction that appears like catching fun meanwhile deep down or maybe after the gambler run out of funds the real pain will manifest. Looking at the context of Op's thread, I think it focuses on distress, over, loss or win. A gambler can be tired of gambling often but isn't in control of deciding when to stop the habit. As it's already a habit and can't be forsaken easily. That could cause the player to feel less excited while gambling. On the other hand, if a gambler has been away from gambling, he could be happy to gamble again after a while of not participating in the game. Hence, win or loss is a part of the excitement gamblers get, but the stress can be a major attribute to how we feel while gambling. Many gamblers have mentioned they regret winning with a smaller amount of money. They were supposed to be happy for winning, but due to stress or greed they don't appreciate it anymore. Such a gambler may have been so deep into gambling that it doesn't excite him anymore. When we constantly do something, the fun gets going gradually. That's why it's crucial for a gambler to take a break from gambling. Yes that is an interesting take, its like their tolerance level is so high that they no longer feel the effects of the endorphins flooding into their system so essentially they feel numb to it maybe? Or maybe there is just a lack of excitement because gambling is such an emotional roller coaster for a lot of people. I don't think i could ever get to that point. I don't think that there is ever a time when I don't feel nervous or anxious when I am gambling unless I am exuding full confidence in what I am doing and maybe I have had some of that liquid luck myself lol. |

 Today i decided to try one of my sweet predictions in the EPL games. So, i predicted in 4 matches and placed my net. However, during this time i watched my games played so well but two games were holding it and i felt i would lose this game. It was already 83 minutes and i needed these games to play at 87 minutes i gave up and decided to cashout the amount i used to stake since it was the amount that was showing there. I thought it was clear and instead of losing i should rather just get my money back. Just in 15 minutes after i checked the live score and found out that the game played. I felt so angry and unhappy because i have not trusted my instincts if not i wouldn't have cashed out at that time. It is a shame that you didn't stick with you gut! I too just had this same feeling when I took the cashout option on the Chiefs Superbowl game. I didn't think they were going to win and the clock was winding down, had I just left my bet that the chiefs were going to win I would have won a nice little sum but instead I made it out completely even. Honeslty you can't be mad about that but in this case as well as many there is that FOMO factor and the regrets from not doing what you thought in the first place. Consider yourself lucky, you could have easily been wrong and lost it all! |

Gambling has never been restricted to any race of class of people, as all people often gamble from all walks of life. Any human being is certainly prone to pass judgement on even the thought of gambling depending on several factors, and to your point often times that person comes from some type of religious background where they were raised to believe that gambling is wrong maybe or whatever it may be. As long as its not a problem or an addiction as far as i'm concerned people can mind their own damn business. lol

Gambling is quite easy to start playing, it’s probably like the first cigarette we tried to laugh. And then with great difficulty we cannot quit smoking. Gambling addiction reminds us of something similar, we then cannot stop and we want to continue every day until we run out of money. And even this is not the limit, many addicts are not afraid to lie even to their close relatives or friends that they lent money. At the same time, the addict’s brain works to the limit of its capabilities to convince them. The saddest thing is that even this money will eventually be lost if the player plays every day. I decided for myself that I need balance in life and even in the game, and if I play every day I will upset this balance and my life will go downhill. Therefore, I never break it and play gambling once a week to get a feel for the game and the size of the bet.
That's the impacts of playing gambling every day without limitations and controls because that can makes our minds thinking about gambling. Gambling addiction can makes people comes backs to gambling and playing gambling without stopping for a while. People who often playing gambling without boundaries can feel that and makes them lose self-control in gambling and that can makes them lose their money. We decide to gambling but that doesn't mean we can playing gambling every day, especially if we don't have limitations and good self-control because that can makes us forget how long we can playing gambling and how much we can used to gambling. Yes, we must balance our life so that we don't have a problem while playing gambling because gambling is just for having fun without some money. I've seen how this seemingly harmless hobby becomes a persistent pursuit. One minute you're playing for fun, the next you're lost and desperate. I cant emphasise boundaries enough. Setting limits and knowing when to back off are both important. My journey and watching others have taught me moderation is vital. Not just gambling less, but developing a mindset where gambling doesnt dominate our life. If uncontrolled, gambling "only for fun" is a myth. Stakes are high and consequences serious. Being watchful, accepting risks, and living a balanced life are key. Most people who find theirselves in ruin becuase of gambling do so in a self inflicted way because simply put they are either addicted to it or a long list of bad habits and they lack all self control. If one had self control and moderation and was not under the influence or had certain worldly pressure from lack of finances or lack of whatever it may be they surely wouldn't have these issues. Gambling in many ways is a "gateway drug" to other bad habits as well such as drugs, and also visiting other establishments that will also cost you a pretty penny such as gentlemen's clubs, race tracks, or other high stakes hobbies. |

I had a friend who use to play the gambling only when he consumed drugs,Sometimes he use yo win the money.But most of the time he loss the funds,when we have a chat on the weekend we shared our experiences.The reason of the loss in the drug consumption is the gambler will play the game without any hesitation to take risk.The gambling is the risky game,the gamblers who take huge risk some times make the huge multiple of betting dollars.But the risk doesn’t make him win,because the meaning of the risk is the possibility of losing and winning.Every month we meet each other,the odds between us is gambling.
My friend also added when he had huge winning in the night games without drugs,he had an habit of playing the gambling at the earning morning after wake up.It doesn’t mean an addiction,it was his dedication towards the game.But the sad part is he will loss sometimes if he wake up in the few hours sleep.When he had shared this I had advice him not to do the gambling in both in drugs or early morning games.Because we should not play the game at the early morning,because we are beginning the day.If the game give the loss in the early morning,the entire day will goes in a negative vibe.The new gamblers should take it as the lesson to avoid loss in gambling.
You know its funny i've now come across this thread because in my last post I have made the prediction that one day casinos will fully embrace the use of drugs (obviously because the use of drugs make people lose all restraint and they will gamble away everything they own). Now I think a lot of places might end up outlawing that because it might get some push back and there may be a lot of problems but honestly I can see that one day happening sadly. I want to be clear that I am not an advocate for this type of thing, but if they are already legally serving alcohol then what is to stop them from eventually opening up to another slew of shrewd drugs ? We have all noticed the changes that have occurred in gambling over the past years, as gambling in 1990 or before is not the same as it is today due to several factors, including:
-Ease of playing and more casinos.
-Inventing new tools and methods of playing.
-Online gambling and the emergence of easy-to-use applications that support all games.
-The method of advertising has changed, becoming more effective and attracting more players.
-The presence of liquidity due to the increase in the amounts that players bet.
-Provides more profit opportunities..
In your opinion, what are the factors that brought change in the field of gambling? What is your outlook on it in the future?
I just noticed this thread, I started a similar thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5487001.0Having been to both Vegas and the Hardrock in both Tampa and South Florida and also at the Atlantis in the Bahamas I have seen some fun Casinos. It is cool seeing recently what hardrock is doing in FL with Hardrock Bet Application. It would be incredible to see more apps like that that allowed for more mediums of gambling. In the topic I posted above I talk alot about VR and how that will transform the future of gambling as well. Honesltly I think the future of gambling in casinos will include the use of drugs lol. For example, marijuana is being legalized in the US and legalized all over the world, cocaine has been legalized in sweden if I am not mistaken. Just as casinos are distrubuting alcohol one day they may also be licensed to distrubute cocaine and Mary J as well..... |

I was contemplating the sum of all my gambling experience today and thinking how I have had so many fun experiences with gambling despite some negative connotations i've had of it growing up. When I was a young lad I was told that my grandfather took all the money that he had invested in each and every one of his grandchildrens college funds and that he lost it all when he divested it to start betting on horse races. Needless to say that i've never been to or seen a horse race to this day -but heck i'd sure love to go to the Kentucky Derby. One day I will. Anyways, upon thinking of a method of gambling as old as horse racing and as new as an online crypto casino I can't help but think of all the different types and places you can gamble in and what the future of gambling may hold and what the experience is like for the end user. From Vegas to the middle of the ocean on a cruise ship you can gamble and everywhere in-between even the Metaverse online! But in the end its all about the feeling gambling gives you, and ultimately that has a lot to do with the individual experience and environment that it is held in. This brings us to the future of gambling and where it looks to be headed. With this new VR technnology from Apple and Meta and other competitors getting in the game it is only a matter of time until everyone offers the "Apple VR experience in retail and online" Or the Meta, take your pick. I just can't wait to see more of that evolution, and I already know its here I just don't know who does it because i'm not the gambler my grandfather was albeit I do like a good gamble here or there  I am excited to see the comments. Please comment on where you think the future of gambling will be. What kinds of benefits will the gambling experience of the future bring in all walks of gambling? Will it be a good thing or a bad thing? What do you think makes the gambling experience the best in your opinion? Pick and choose any / all questions to be answered- I can't wait to see what everyone says. While I am looking forward to how realistic and accessible VR technology can become, I am not looking forward to gamble in this way. After all if I wanted to gamble in such an interactive environment I could simply make a visit to the nearest casino and get an even better experience than what I could get with VR, however online gambling is a different story as not only the cost of gambling is lower, faster, more convenient and I do not need expensive and specialized hardware to try it. I honestly agree, why would someone want to experience a VR gambling experience when they could just go to a local casino and get the real experience? I think the short answer is that it would be under special circumstances right so like places where gambling is considered illegal? Maybe could be great for something people can do when they can't otherwise get out to go to a casino or perhaps there are no local casinos anywhere near by? Could be under any circumstance, but still I can see a wide market for something like this type of experience. |

The high rate of gamblers who take loan for gambling purposes is quite alarming, and most of them are fathers to kids. Most of them don't end up taking care of their debt before passing. What happens to the funds, when the lender comes for his money? It's quite a tough one for a person who isn't a gambler to inherit a trouble from a gambling dad. Such things also increase the anger of the society on gamblers, because the addicts are, also, good at extending their problem gambling to other close relatives. Could it be talked through in the law court?
I want to say that the short answer is yes, your kids could aquire your debt even if they had nothing to do with it and you are dead. It just depends on the country you are in and the type of debt that has been accrued. It is quite a shame, I know for your credit card debt it is an absolute, but for gambling debt it think it may vary. Do you have any statistics/source link to the claim that most peole that have alarming loan/gambling debt are fathers to kids? I've never heard of this before.... |

I like his philosophy and philanthrophy on gambling. It is a known universal law that if you do good and are generous then other good and generosity will come your way. I think his way is definitely more often than not "a road less traveled" greed is the ultimate downfall of a gambling addiction,but your friend seemed to have bested the devil on this one! I hope that he will keep winning so he can continue being generous. The day that generosity stops though may be the day he stops winning.

A lot of them seem to be hastily assembled clone sites with very little effort put in and gimmicky marketing. Do you guys have any thoughts on this... plague?
You know its funny that I stumble across this thread from a few months back on this date because I was literally just thinking about the evolution of gambling and how far its come today and instantly I thought how online gambling sites are super great for the convenience albeit they take away from the experience. The immediate thought to that was that the VR gambling casinos need to use technology to their advantage and start integrating with the Meta & apple facemasks to make up for the lack of experience! How awesome would that be? Ever online poker crypto site or gambling site has a VR experience. Would be totally BA. |

Can gamblers be convinced that they can have the cake and eat the cake? Ups...
Does freebitcoin support reply no one? From people's experiences I've read on this forum there is not a single person that has ever gotten a response from the support team of this platform? This is rubbish! We need to collectively call out the owners of freebitcoin to do better in terms of customer support. I am prepared to go any length to call them out, I've never experienced this kind of poor support from any platform in my entire life, this is too ridiculous. How do you keep a transaction pending for over 6 months? PLEASE LOOK INTO MY CASE AND FIX UP ON YOUR CUSTOMER SUPPORT. WE ARE THE REASON YOU HAVE A FUNCTIONAL PLATFORM. I HAVE PUT IN OVER 15 BTC ON THIS PLATFORM OVER THE YEARS, WHAT DISGUSTING MANNER OF TREATMENT IS THIS? WHY SHOULD WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO ACCESS TO SUPPORT? AGAIN, THIS IS MADNESS, I NEED MY MONEY PLEASE. FIX UP! THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHERS LIKE ME UNDOUBTEDLY WHO MUST HAVE GIVEN UP HOPE. I WILL NOT, I WILL CONTINUE TO POST HERE DAILY UNTIL MY ISSUE IS SORTED. RELEASE MY MONEY!! 6 months is more than anyone to drive anyone insane, I am not Elon Musk, I am not rich enough to not notice that I was not credited a deposit I made on the platform. I NEED A CONCRETE SOLUTION ASAP! THIS IS MADNESS!! Wow if this is true and you have been waiting 6 months on a payment I think something has gone terribly wrong! I believe the last time I checked this gambling site is registered in the virgin islands somewhere. I don't imagine that they would have much support because they probably don't want to get a bunch of ties to their IP perhaps. I will say this is the first bitcoin gambling platform I ever used 5+ years ago and I liked it then. |

You feel excited when you win of course, but I think I can speak for everyone that it is the opposite when you lose! That excitement can turn sour in an instant with the simple pair of cards or the roll of the dice! You've got to take your chances and risk it to get the biscut! But at the same time, you have to be responsible and know when to say enough is enough. You have to keep your emotions at bay!
