KP can rest all he wants because he is not needed anymore. I thought Dallas had the advantage when KP was out but they just could not stop the accurate 3 point shooting of Celtics. Again, that corner shots was deadly. Boston shoots 37% from beyond the arc and they made the timely shots that gave them a comfortable lead.

It's all I have been saying all along Celtics have way to many options to hurt any team, even when they are not playing distinctively well enough, they had a rough start from shooting behind the arc and trailed by as many as 13 points, but they still remain insight as they resulted make cut passes and going to rim a couple of times, although it was the 3 points shots that helped the get 21 points which they very close to blowing it if Doncic actually wasn't stupid to pick up 2 very quick personal foul that highly unnecessary.

I thought this would be a great series, but it's as though we are heading for a sweep here, and the Boston Celtics are still yet to lose a single game in the playoffs this year, that's an impressive stuff.

So, Celtics ML it is, for me!





I'm glad I backed the Boston Celtics here, might do the same for game 4 as well.

First, Congrats to that win! 

I was in the impression that Mavs will take this game and put the pressure to Boston but it turned out that Boston is not willing to let this opportunity to pass again, Dallas manage to cut that huge leads but unable to snatch the game, almost but not enoug time to make that upset, I like how Boston play the game to be honest, Tatum and Brown managed to counter that offensive attack from Mavs star duos, Kyrie/Luka 62 points combined while Tatum/Brown got 61 points though it's the support from the entire group that Mavs still lacking unlike with Boston where the help can come from anyone inside, Luka and Kyrie are carrying the heavy loads.

With their presence the defense and offense of Meralco will be adjusted,  anticipating that both players will add more with SMB's offensive attack and even its not that much production still enough to help and look with the outcome playing them gives some rest for the starters and allow them to have that fresh legs once they come in and play again, I think if ever they'll continue being used this upcoming game 5 that extra rest for the starters and that good rotations of players will give them again an edge though knowing Meralco they will adjust and will also try to fight back, it will be more exciting seeing a game 7 do or die finals!

And Meralco has to make a good adjustment next game if they want to lead the series again. Romeo can generate points but he is a liability in the defense, but it still work for the SMB. I think he'll get more minutes next game to help CJ and maybe JMF will also score over 20+ points next game which will put Meralco in a tough situation. Whoever wins game 5 IMO will win the series, that's my guess, so since I like SMB to win the series, I'm betting on them in game 5.

I agree with you in terms of TR7's defensive capability but his presence inside the court will give Meralco a tough job guarding him and just how those bashers saying a ball hog will always find ways to score, and that's how TR7 will help his team, giving time for Perez and Fajardo to rest as he can takeover and provide numbers if he will get that minutes, from my personla opinion not being bias but TR7 have that "A" factor in terms of his offensive capabilities and as far as I remember he was bee a FMVP for this franchise and giving him enough time to play might change the tempo of this series, though not just him but also Manuel and Cruz who are also have that offensive threats if the design play will be on thier sides.

It's for the best, I prefer to be bad with gambling, but good with my finances, normally most of us have a family and this may be something that we should maintain very well because deep down things have to be that way, if we are responsible we know that we have to do this very well in order not to take risks, if a person prefers gambling before their things, it is a deliberate act of irresponsibility, and it is something that at least I myself would not forgive myself for, of course this always happens when we emphasize that the most important thing is our money and our well-being , before the pleasure found in games.


If we prioritize it then we will be able to practice it the right way, like your last statement knowing the importance of money and your well-being will prevent you from over exceeding from your suppose budget, as knowing when to stop and doing it in a regular basis leads you to enjoy whatever the outcome and not to push you to keep aiming for more and lose that control and become addicted, it's a choice though most of the time addicted gamblers chooses the wrong way and regret things after.


I won't suggest anything because your friend can't accept someone else advice, so why I need to waste my time when I already know the answer?

The only way to stop him from gambling addiction is when he don't have anything anymore, we need to wait until the debt collector visit his house and force him to pay off his loans. If the debt collector already seize everything including your friend's house, there's a chance your friend will change.

I totally agree with you because I think that will really help him a lot and also make them change because if they were only told without teaching them some lessons, they won't change.

So if they are being arrest or taking responsibility of their actions due to their gambling addiction, I think that will really be another way for them to change their attitude, I think it will be the easiest way of stopping them from gambling or being an addict because if they are not being helpful, they are doing more harm than good to themselves and also to the society.

It's another way of helping, not helping someone who have an obligation like that which a result of getting involve with gambling allows them to realize their wrong doing, as if you will help them chances that they will abuse you and will keep doing the same thing will push them more to much bigger problems.
244  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: June 13, 2024, 11:48:01 AM
But how about the Dallas vs Celtics, can Luka win the FMVP?

I think it's unlikely to happen especially if Dallas will get swept. When the opposing team are not competitive, there's no chance their best player will win a Finals MVP. If we compared the individual record, of course Luka would have an upper hand as he has been carrying his team in the last 3 games, but the Celtics played great teamwork, so the NBA will just pick one of them.

IMO, this could only be between Brownd and Tatum.

So let's compare their statistics.
Name     Game         Points, Rebounds, Assist
Tatum      1                 16      11            5
Brown      1                 22       6             2


Name     Game         Points, Rebounds, Assist
Tatum      2                 18       9             12
Brown      2                 21       4             7

Name     Game         Points, Rebounds, Assist
Tatum      3                 31       6             5
Brown      3                 30       8             8
   

If this series goes to game 7 and Luka keeps producing the same excellent output then he can get the FMVP. But we're sensing a sweep or maybe 4-1 or 4-2 here. Besides, as shown in the stats, Jaylen Brown and Jason Tatum are also doing good numbers although still not comparable to that of Luka. But it is what it is, the award most likely to the best player of the winning team.

As for who gets the FMVP between Brown and Tatum, I am favoring the former. Tatum has to stop taking lots of threes and drive his way to the basket if he wants to steal the FMVP. One more game and Boston might get the title.

A game of numbers in terms of FMVP, seems that Brown is more closer not unless if Tatum will bring out the best of him either in game 4 or game 5, but if they produced same numbers as how they are producing both now  I quess it's again Brown will win that FMVP.

Though for me, it's the title that's important and as duo whoever wins the FMVP they just need to support each other and keep that momentum it's been a long delay for these two young stars they already got their chance before I guess they'll not going to let this one to passed.

One more win and Boston will again be crown as world champion, it's been a long while and now they are closer to take it!

Oo foul talaga yung kay PJ Washington kabayan. 3 point game na lang sana yun at 50 seconds pa ang timer. Hindi lang talaga sa spreads dahil possible overtime or manalo pa Dallas dahil mahaba pa time nun.

Hirap Dallas dahil palaging nakadepende si Luka. Kahit gaano kahigpit depensa kay Luka ay given pa rin talaga na hirap siyang pigilan kaso talo pa rin kung siya lang ang tanging magperform sa koponan nila. Kalat lang naman ang hatid ni Kyrie, mas lalo pang masira set up pag nakay Kyrie ang bola. Mas prefer ko pa si Luka na parati mag set up dahil mas magaling siya mag assist at mas mataas ang FG%.

Ito yung isa sa nagpapangit nung game na yun kasi kahit hindi naman tayo player kahit papano nakakaunawa din naman tayo, sa palagay ko naman kung walang nangyaring tulak eh hindi magbabago yung attempt na dunk ni Washington, kaya lang yun inabot na ni White eh kasi wala na yung balance dahil dun sa tulak ni Brown, at masama lang kasi dun eh talagang crucial yung play na yun, gaya nga ng sinabi mo kung naipasok yun or kahit FT na lang medyo maiiba yun at malamang sa malamang baka mag choke yung Boston or baka mag OT yun hindi talaga natin masasabi pero dahil tapos na yung game yung mga expert opinion ng mga fans eh balewala na yun lahat, ang kailangan na lang eh mag move on at magbakasakali sa susunod na game kung anong mangyayari.

Oo nga sayang eh, yun talalga inal mahan ng mga fans ng Dallas, nakikita ko mga video non sa social media. Pero kahit napasok yun, mahihirapan pa rin siguro ang Dallas kasi nasa Boston pa rin ang lamang. Ika nga, bawi nalang next game, and since game 3 at sa Dallas na, sana pabor na naman sa kanila ang mga tawag ng referees. Tingin ko, gagawin tong seris na to na exciting, 2-2 after game 4, di ba mas maganda?hehe..

Sinong nag early bet sa Dallas para sa game 3?

Update lang sa series odds mga kabayan, x7 na ang Dallas, pwede kaya?

Yung mga maka Dallas paniguradong Tataya yun kasi hindi pa naman sure yung lamang na 2-0 kasi kung magiging maganda yung ilalaro ng Dallas at magsimula na silang manalo ulit malamang na malamang na sa Boston ang mas mabigat na pressure pero syempre adjustment galing sa parehong team, yung mga gagawing sistema ng mga coach at paano eexecute ng players yung magiging design, sa ngayon kasi llamado yung naging preparation ng Boston nalimitahan nila si Kyrie tapos yung buong core players nila eh talagang tumutulong unlike sa Dallas na more on kay Luka talaga yung opensa dapat meron mga options at dapat maging produktibo lahat para maging maganda yung itatakbo ng series.

Baka mag real Kyrie si Kyrie sa game 3, tingnan nalang natin. every game is adjustment ika nga, at saka, maganda naman ang adjustment ng Dallas as game 2, kinulang nga lang sila. pero ako, medyo bias ako kabayan kasi Dallas ako, so kung tataya ako, syempre all in ko na sa game 3 kasi wala na akong aasahan sa game 4 kung sakaling matalo ang Dallas. Simple logic lang, sino ba namang gaganahan mag laro kung 3-0 na, parang history lang gagawin kung mag champion ang Dallas, kaya big no talaga.

Sabagay kabayan kung sakali talagang magbubuhos ka dito yun sa game 3 kasi need ng Dallas makuha ulit yung kumpyansang manalo gaya ng sinabi mo nandun na yung adjustment natulungan lang ng refs yung Boston siguro naman sa homecourt ng Mavs hindi na sila papayag na 8 pa rin ang kalaban nila, at palagay ko lang medyo may konting bias din dito alam naman nating lahat kung gaano kalaki ang impact ng ref pagdating sa mga crucial na yugto ng laro.

Malalaman natin mamaya kung anong adjustments ang gagawin kyrie kasama ng iba pang core players ng Mavs para tulungan si Luka, importanteng game to' para Maputol yung momentum ng Boston kaya good luck na lang mga kabayan sa mga tatayaan nyo!
246  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: June 12, 2024, 09:47:28 PM

I like to see them taking those outside shots not just from Lassiter and some from Perez but also from Cruz, Ross and whoever shooters who will play they need to contribute if they want to tie this series.

I think this is the time where SMB will have a dominant win. Though I don't like the last 3 games they played, I still bet on them hoping this game will boost their confidence and that means they'll be winning in double digit. This game will start in 5 minutes, get that beer ready and support our team.

Strong start by SMB so far, they have a 6-0 run, this start is what they need to keep that energy high. I know it's not yet safe because it's too early but them spreading the scoring, will make the whole team confident. It's a must win for them and every momentum is favoring on the Meralco, so the pick is right, it should be SMB -5.5 tonight. Good luck and let's see if SMB could continue to dominate the game.

SMB now are using more players than the previous games, though they have a good start but Meralco was still able to tie the game until SMB had another run again. However, it's still too early to judge as we know Meralco won't be going away, they also like to win and take the 3-1 lead in the series.

Romeo and Manuel is back, this would help so the starters of the SMB could get some rest and SMB will be a little unpredictable with these players coming to play. As of this writing, Romeo has 3 and Manuel got 2 but SMB leading by double digits now with less than 1 minute in the 2nd quarter.

With their presence the defense and offense of Meralco will be adjusted,  anticipating that both players will add more with SMB's offensive attack and even its not that much production still enough to help and look with the outcome playing them gives some rest for the starters and allow them to have that fresh legs once they come in and play again, I think if ever they'll continue being used this upcoming game 5 that extra rest for the starters and that good rotations of players will give them again an edge though knowing Meralco they will adjust and will also try to fight back, it will be more exciting seeing a game 7 do or die finals!

They still got that handicap even Meralco already win twice but it's more on the gambler's analysis  and how they will play with the bookies, I guess it's another low scoring game as Meralco really play well with their defense, not unless SMB start bring TR7 back and adds up the offensive threat not sure but according to some social media post it's TR7 who choose not to play as he's still injured not sure if how true is that, but if ever that SMB will bring him in, the chance for JMF to catch that easy short jumpshot as TR7 can attract the defense and just drop that ball to JMF, something that I don't see with all those guards who are playing right now, they are more on trying to score, I'm expecting Cruz and TR7 if ever they both being use this coming game 4.
The other players of SMB needs to step up, last time during their championship run, we've seen players like Cruz and Trollano who are making big contributions in the series. But here, it seems like they struggled a lot, especially J. Cruz who only scored 7 points last game from 2-10 shooting.

the 3 point shooting of SMB in game 3 was fine as they have 43%, which is high, but look at their attempts, they only had 72 while 84 for Meralco, so I guess this is another low scoring game especially for SMB. I think SMB also need to limit their turnovers, they had 15 last game.



Yeah, that's the reason why I brought their names as I see their productions seems they are not in that same caliber as how they help the squad the last time they trip to the finals, they've been limited I'm not sure because of how Meralco played thier defense or becuase of that JMF design play that's why they are limited touching the ball, they need to be more aggressive here as they need to win to avoid that 3-1 Meralco leading the series.

I like to see them taking those outside shots not just from Lassiter and some from Perez but also from Cruz, Ross and whoever shooters who will play they need to contribute if they want to tie this series.
248  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Lack of capital or knowledge, which one is holding traders back from profits? on: June 12, 2024, 11:07:58 AM
One of the main things that can hinder profits for traders is a lack of knowledge and understanding of how to analyze a coin in trading. Emotions and big ambitions are also one of the biggest obstacles to wanting to make big profits even though the capital spent has increased a lot. In order to become a professional we have to increase our knowledge of emotional control and continue to learn from other seniors.
Having a sufficient amount of knowledge prior to investing is certainly a must. One who has not achieved it is not advised to invest, otherwise he will experience the worst in investing. However, having a good amount of capital is also crucial when investing, this is exactly the reason why those who have more knowledge about bitcoin haven’t still decide to invest for good knowing they don’t have a good amount of capital. As much as knowledge is highly vital, getting a good amount of capital is also crucial most especially if you want the best outcome for your investment.

Indeed, if you want to have a best outcome you also need to have that decent amount of capital, as investing to this type of industry needs to have not just knowledge but also decent capital, with how fluctuation add to the factor if how you will place your position, you need to have deep financial capability not being affected of sudden fall, as if you have that good knowledge you'll anticipate and continue to patiently wait if you have decent amount of money to use, in this kind of case where you can't touch your previous investment, then lack of capital holds you back as you will think twice not to sell while anticipating to see good bounce from the market.

Good luck with your bet! I'm on the same side as you, but I took the spread at -2. I'm planning to double my bet if Dallas wins game 3 because I believe they'll be able to even the series in game 4. Isn't it exciting to see this series going down to a best of 3 after game 4? I think if that's what the fans want to see, the NBA will give it to us.

That's a great catch as I also believe that Dallas will do everything to protect the homecourt edge, and if ever that they will lose again the chance of wnning the title will be more harder, they need to win and bring that momentum back and who knows we might see that chance of seeing the series to a final game 7 do-or-die title game.

Quote
We'll also see the impact of the Celtics not having KP in game 3, as he is listed as questionable, but I believe he will be unlikely to play. The Celtics won't risk aggravating his injury now that they are up 2-0.

I guess Boston will take every consideration if possible to risk KP, he and Jrue are the key advantage giving Dallas that momentum will not be a good option, they will do everything to win as the title is now closer to happen.

In terms of saying it yes that's easy but in terms of practicing it then that's another story, we tend to say that we should have that limitations both from winnng and losing, but the reality when we suffer either winning or losing we mostly exceed from whatever limitation that we set up, though there are some who can do it, some experienced gamblers who manage to play wise and always stay on focus when they are in session, they practice what they setup and manage to make something decent, but the percentages is too low, as there are still many gamblers who don't realize or still in the kind of mindset that if luck permits then they will win more and they will leave the house with huge amount of profits.
It’s just that each player has his own limits and restrictions, for some, a bet of 3 dollars is already a lot, but for others, several hundred is the norm. But whatever opportunities the player has, he must comply with risk management, the bet should not be allowed to make up a large part of the gaming budget, and even more so, the game should not be allowed to play all-in. The rules must be followed in any case, otherwise the outcome will be obvious.

Yup, there are different types of players and different types of capabilities, for some they can afford to lose decent amount of money and for sime they can go with small amount and they are good, especially those who are treating gambling as source of entertainment those who are killing some time and use this venue to enjoy, they can allot some amount and if that's already loss they will just go out and quit, just like paying for your entertainment, though there are some who really treating gambling as possible ways to earn and they are willing to risk decent amount and hope that luck will guide them to win.

252  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich or poor gambler, who should risk more? on: June 12, 2024, 07:25:07 AM
As long as gambling is concerned is not really good for the poor people's to take too much risk why because once you use the small that you have and risky in the gambling bet office you we see that it we make you feel very bad because you didn't have much money, however that's why is always adviceble for the poor people's to always gamble what they can afford to lose.

Of course the Rich people's are the ones that is supposed to take risk in gambling because even if they lose they can't feel it too much because the money is always there for them.

That's their edge in terms of finances but also can be their big risk as if they become out of control they might lose everything including the main source of their finances, it's not impossible for anyone to get addicted and missmanage their finances, unlike with poor if they already lose everything they will just wait for another time when they've got some money, with rich gamblers if they become addicted they can rik everything and the result might be unacceptable since they will bring it all and possible to keep pushing and trying to recover whatever they've lost ending them up in losing everything.
253  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: June 12, 2024, 06:57:53 AM
You guys ready for game 4?

SMB is still at -5.5 despite losing 2 games in the last 3 games. I think Meralco will again easily cover the handicap or could even win again.

the last 3 games, although SMB won 1 game but they were not able to cover the spread, so I think there's no reason to go against the trend as it's all Meralco is the winning bet. Also, they have adjusted the total a bit, from 190 in the last 3 games now already at 187.5, so I think we are still gonna see an under in total here.

I agree with your prediction here... it's been 3 games and SMB hasn't dominate a game, so there's no reason to back them and take the high spread which is -5.5. The defense of the Meralco is still there, and they are healthy so they can continue to defend well. SMB seemed to be relying so much on CJ, and JMF aren't so effective in offense, so this all favor to Meralco. If we go back tot he regular season, SMB is dominating the paint and a good 3 point shooting team, but in the NBA finals, they struggled in that area. So good luck to us, if the line will move in favor of the SMB, then better for Meralco as the odds might increase as well.

They still got that handicap even Meralco already win twice but it's more on the gambler's analysis  and how they will play with the bookies, I guess it's another low scoring game as Meralco really play well with their defense, not unless SMB start bring TR7 back and adds up the offensive threat not sure but according to some social media post it's TR7 who choose not to play as he's still injured not sure if how true is that, but if ever that SMB will bring him in, the chance for JMF to catch that easy short jumpshot as TR7 can attract the defense and just drop that ball to JMF, something that I don't see with all those guards who are playing right now, they are more on trying to score, I'm expecting Cruz and TR7 if ever they both being use this coming game 4.
254  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Wait for the right set-up on: June 11, 2024, 11:11:44 PM
In my opinion, if you see the setup you want in the market, you should trade. Seeing the setup you want will not always show up, and it needs a lot of time. It's an opportunity, I would always trade with that setup because waiting can sometimes cause unnecessary decisions that will lead us to trade without the clear analysis.

This doesn't work every time as sometimes you have to wait before you buy, when you see a token that you want to buy you have to monitor the market to look for the right time to enter the market to buy. You should also monitor Bitcoin and buy when the market is dumping, right now everything is dumping and it's a good time to buy. A trader has to have patience or you'll be selling when the market hasn't reached it full potential. Many traders make the mistake of selling too early.

If you wait, you'll have time to know if you're making the right decision to enter the market at that price that you're selling. It's not every market dump that we're supposed to be buying as some dumps just don't stop but they'll continue to be dumping and if you bought you'll be losing money which is not what a trader needs. We are trading as we want to make money therefore we have to be very cautious of the decision we make so we don't get it wrong.

Yup, I agree with that last statement not always a good indicator to buy during the dump season as there are projects that will not stop dumping to point that the project will die naturally,  though patience is a virtue as there are many factors that affected the market and you need to have that proper timing to make your trade or investment be profitable,  though there's no accurate time frame or any indicator that will conclude the next market run but your own analysis and understanding will allow you to anticipate and let you position your trade.
255  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Understanding the Impact of Social Media in Gambling. on: June 11, 2024, 07:06:17 PM
That is the more reason why gambling shouldn't be hidden from the young ones and most people basically practice anything they see online more especially when they come from celebrities or influencers that is the reason why people need to educate their children with proper knowledge of the things happening around them so that when they hear it outside, they won't be misled or misinformed.

Yes it's very important to let your children know all this information from you before getting it outside either from friends or read them by social media, for those parents who in one way or the other gambles and most of them save it keeps their betting slip's any how, hidden information like this put the children into very high risk as they must be curious to know about the betting or gambling outside your knowledge that may mislead them.
When a child starts hiding his bets slip it means that it's either the parents of the children are against what the child is doing, so the best thing one should do as a parent is never to give a child a second thought of gamble until the child is up to the age he can gamble. Why 18+ years is permitted to gamble is because at that age they could know what to do and what not to do.

At that age they held responsible from their actions but as a parent we still need to continue guiding them especially if they are involved into gambling,  I think your statement happens with those young minds who are already in this industry those young adults who already have an access to gambling site, they will hide those betslip as they knew their parents or guardians will stop them or will get mad at them, it's best to give a good guidance to those young people as you need to inform them that not all that they are seeing online that being promoted should be followed, gambling is a risky industry that most of the time created problems to an individual who can't handles addiction.

I am the follower of the idea "simply banning, prohibiting, saying no" never works. That only postpones everything. Better explain today and get less problems in future.

I cannot get used to that kind of belief but I am trying. There are so many things that I see in my kid's YouTube history and sometimes I wonder how it all happened. Damn recommendations. Anyway, sometimes explanations are not enough or you have to repeat it to them over and over again so that they won't forget or they will remember it as soon as they go on that website, a game, or a video.
I have two kids who are both using a smartphone at an early age and thankfully they are more hooked into games but there will be times when they will get bored of it and that's when they switch to watching videos.
I still want to preserve their innocent minds so I don't explain things they cannot understand yet. I only pick those I think they would have an idea with and let them answer freely about what they think of it. Luckily, I don't see any gambling histories yet.

Same with you, I also have two kids and even how busy am I working I never failed to check their devices, it's better to keep finding that time to make sure that there's nothing that will gain there attentions, though not just limited to gambling but also to other things that will attract their interest, like what you said, sometimes explaining is not enough as kids nowadays have more access to information and if you failed to guide them and make them understand chances that in their early age they might be hook to something that may develop inside them and you may find yourself late trying to expalin things out.

Yes, when someone is addicted to gambling, they will often play to pursue luck and self-control is not used in every gambling game, so they will definitely often lose money because they play too much. Yes, it is possible that a serious addict will act very fatally in order to get money back which is only used for gambling, from here we can conclude that addiction is very dangerous and terrible both in our lives and in our surroundings.
Gambling addiction is a serious issue. When someone is addicted, they often chase after luck and lose self-control, leading to significant financial losses. Sometimes they seriously decide to recover their lost money. This loss of money causes a lot to their family.
If you understand that addiction to gambling is a serious problem, of course you must be able to avoid gambling frequently so that you don't easily become addicted to gambling. As you said, it is very true that when someone is chasing luck, it will certainly be difficult to decide on things that are profitable for them and Many of them experience losses from what they do, it is important in gambling that we can control ourselves so that we don't spend a lot of money gambling.

Not just the money but also too much time that you spent, if you can control yourself and limit your money and time then you will be able to avoid getting addicted, but the case with OP is the madness of the person who already into addiction, they can do unusual things which most of those who knew them don't anticipate that may able to do it, some of those samples are selling valuable items, barrowing money and doing crimes that really worst in terms of pleasing their addictions.

It's a tough call when you are already attach and deeply engage to this industry, though it's still on you and your decision making that will prevents you to getting involve and become addicted.

That kind of enticing strategy that being shared most likely will bring them to lose more, not becuase it's working to someone means that it will also work for you, though it might for some time but not an assurance that it will keeps bringing the win, it's better to tweak that strategy and find the best way to make it works for you, but then again strategy is not an assurance it's just your basis when playing the game and sometimes use as your limitation to avoid losing a lot.
This is often ignored by most gamblers, they do not realize that just because something works for someone, there is no guarantee that it will for them too, and this is because a person that created a strategy on their own, will know exactly why they are doing what they are doing, but it is unlikely a different person will have such intimate knowledge about the strategy, so when they are faced with an unexpected issue, they will not know what to do and they will lose whatever advantage such a strategy brought them.

Yup, and that same person who create the strategy already have that experienced where they can easily adjust if the strategy won't work when they are playing, unlike with those who are trying to imitate and trying to make things also works with them, if the game plan did not work they will just push for it and at the end of the session they will just continue to lose.

Better to have your own strategy and practice it the way you wanted it to work for you, though there's no assurance that it will allow you to keep winning but it will really be a big help to lessen the chance of burning more money if you practice and keep the system intact when playing.

Oo foul talaga yung kay PJ Washington kabayan. 3 point game na lang sana yun at 50 seconds pa ang timer. Hindi lang talaga sa spreads dahil possible overtime or manalo pa Dallas dahil mahaba pa time nun.

Hirap Dallas dahil palaging nakadepende si Luka. Kahit gaano kahigpit depensa kay Luka ay given pa rin talaga na hirap siyang pigilan kaso talo pa rin kung siya lang ang tanging magperform sa koponan nila. Kalat lang naman ang hatid ni Kyrie, mas lalo pang masira set up pag nakay Kyrie ang bola. Mas prefer ko pa si Luka na parati mag set up dahil mas magaling siya mag assist at mas mataas ang FG%.

Ito yung isa sa nagpapangit nung game na yun kasi kahit hindi naman tayo player kahit papano nakakaunawa din naman tayo, sa palagay ko naman kung walang nangyaring tulak eh hindi magbabago yung attempt na dunk ni Washington, kaya lang yun inabot na ni White eh kasi wala na yung balance dahil dun sa tulak ni Brown, at masama lang kasi dun eh talagang crucial yung play na yun, gaya nga ng sinabi mo kung naipasok yun or kahit FT na lang medyo maiiba yun at malamang sa malamang baka mag choke yung Boston or baka mag OT yun hindi talaga natin masasabi pero dahil tapos na yung game yung mga expert opinion ng mga fans eh balewala na yun lahat, ang kailangan na lang eh mag move on at magbakasakali sa susunod na game kung anong mangyayari.

I have already given here an example: you are in a company with friends in a casino, and one of them run out of money. What will you do? Let him stand and watch you having fun or gambling? Or lend him money for gambling. Which is, by posts here, a red flag, because person will use money for gambling and already is in a loss.

Nobody has answered it, but this is rather tricky situation. Borrowing money for gambling vs helping a friend. You can either make his life even worse, or feel uncomfortable for not helping.
If a friend runs out of money for other purposes I will give it to him but when he borrows for gambling I will not do it even if he begs.

It is certain that when borrowing money for gambling it will lose you will be complicated to collect back, even this becomes a fight of friends because of the problem of money that you used to lend, I always have the principle that money is very sensitive to negativity and gambling should not be with borrowed money.

Feeling uncomfortable, feeling bad with friends, feeling antagonized is a certainty in friendships where they can act even more aggressively than you.

It's also a good way in helping them to stop as after you failed them to lend your money you explain the reason, if that's really a friend or a close relatives where they can lend their ears and listen then they will act accordingly, though most of those who resort to this kind of desperate decision making, it will be tough to gain their attention as most of the time, due to addiction inside them, they are just finding ways to please their desire.

And moving back to the topic, if you don't want to add more with your financial problem, it's good to gamble with spare money an amount that you can afford to lose.
