Upon all those sources and explanation, I still need the community input on the argument to know if gambling is a HOBBY so that I and the person will understand more.
Cheers.

Well you can define it that way, a hobby. But the thing with this 'hobby', is that you can fall for it, thus becoming addicted and so it is going to be very dangerous as compare to the word 'hobby' wherein none of it can threaten a individual and enjoying what he is doing.

So it's on the borderline, as long as you are in the middle, knows how to control yourself, knows the risks that is involved in gambling, then it might be good to look at. But if you started it like a 'hobby' and then lose everything you got then basically you can't define it like that.

@Baofeng Wala e napakadaling mag cash in sa kanila, imbis na i block dapat mga mga local wallet natin (Gcash Paymaya) E mukhanpa atang sponsored nila or supportado pa nila itong mga pasugalan na ito. Tsaka mga endorsement pa nito mga bigatin. Luis Manzano at Maine Mendoza impossibleng walang ma influence yang mga yan. Kahit ako magkaroon lang ng kaunting laman Gcash ko naiisip ko din agad mag cash in sa app na to. Bungad palang pag bukas mo ng gcash app puta ads agad ng Bingo Plus makikita mo e. Haha

Pati si Kathryn Bernardo isama mo na hehehe, kung isisipin mo kung talagang nagsugal pa o hindi hehehe. Tapos nito kahit down ang Gcash katulad nung isang araw ang mga addict eh nandun naman sa Paymaya para ituloy and Bingo Plus sugal nila at iisa rin naman ang account name mo dun, so tuloy ang ligaya ng mga kapwa nating Pinoy na nalululong na talaga sa sugal hehehehe. Kaya ngayon kelangan mo talaga ng control pag may pera ka sa platform nito at maiisip ko talaga ay isugal ang pera mo at baka lumago hehehe.

There will be an open workouts,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3RXzhKaQKw

Good promotion for their fans in the US, and if you watch it Ryan now, there are snippets of their interview and so you can see who is better in hyping the fight. Ryan though is best on what he do, we all just want that to translate in the ring so he really be the next big thing in boxing, not just a big mouth.

Wow! So it seems like there is no going back for Ryan here. I think he is mentally unstable but maybe it is making him more confident to pull an upset. I hope he wins this one. Only because he is more interesting to watch. I love to see knockouts. It is okay to be defensive but constant hugging like Haney is non interesting to watch.

Of course Ryan can hype his fight more because he is already a social media influencer like Jake Paul. Imagine if Ryan and Mungia wins? Oscar De la Hoya will be the happiest man on earth. Cheesy

Yes, he had sign the contract so he shouldn't back out from this fight. I do agree, it seems that Ryan mental issues is still there because the signs are all in his post and even in the kick off presser, he seems to be off. So in any case, this could be at least entertaining fight for us boxing fans?

I do agree that we don't want to see a fight wherein both are hugging or the other one is playing defense and on his bicycle the whole fight. But knowing Haney, which for me has the confidence base on his showing against Prograis that he has power at 140 lbs and possible to put Ryan Garcia on the canvass for good.

Tyson is having a snap press conference soon at 12:30 GMT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40ZkLdYVtJ4



Apparently he's doing it by himself. Bit bizarre announcing a shock press conference within 24 hours. I've got a feeling this isn't going to be good news. Retirement, postponement, failed a drug test???

Doesn't look good to be honest, but If I'm going to be positive here, probably Tyson Fury is hyping this fight with this kind of press conference. He hasn't had history of drug related failed test isn't it?

But if this is true, then it's really a shocker and then the fight getting cancelled again and most likely it will not going to happen.

Hopefully this is not the case.

Nothing of that happen in the press conference in his hometown with Frank Warren. It's just all Fury wanting to let everyone knows that he is back and then point to a fact that a CW like Usyk cannot beat the top tier boxer.

And then the litany of great CW in history when they step up with the great Heavyweight fighters, they usually lost according to him.

And so with that, he believes that Usyk is not  going to beat him this May 18th.

Interesting development here, Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis Signs Multifight Promotional Deal With Matchroom

Quote
Eddie Hearn and Matchroom have won the race to sign one of boxing’s hottest properties, as Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis has signed a multi-fight promotional deal in partnership with Boots Promotions.

https://www.boxingscene.com/jaron-boots-ennis-signs-multifight-promotional-deal-with-matchroom--182754

He held the IBF 147 lbs belt, however, Terrence Crawford said that he is not interested in fighting Ennis. Not that he duck him or what, but according to him, he is not a PPV star and it seems that Crawford after becoming a free agent, it just looking for big money fights.
246  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting Patterns in Baccarat? on: April 10, 2024, 07:24:00 PM
Baccarat is one of the popular live games now in the Philippines since it’s the original version of our local game lucky 9.

I saw many streamers that using betting pattern on this but I don’t see the logic how they decide to change bet from banker to dealer and vice versa by just relying only on the bet history. Baccarat is a game of pure luck so I don’t comprehend how they come any strategy on this game.

Am I missing something strategy which is almost similar to card counting of blackjack?

There is no pattern in baccarat, there is no card counting similar to blackjack, it's either, banker or player and other side bets (draw/tie, super six/seven, pair). Although in every casinos, you will those card being given, and then you put red or blue and others make their pattern, i.e. sticks or those circles, big eye or small eye, that's what they called it.

Still base on pure luck or how lucky you can draw the conclusion on what will be the next winner here. Been playing baccarat for years, although I look at this so called patterns, I don't believed on them, this is another of what we call gamblers fallacy, in which we believed that a event is going to happen based on the results from a series of events.

Mukhang makuha pa ng 76ers ang rank #6. Laro nila bukas Detroit Pistons lang. Tsaka last 3 games ng Philly puro homecourt na kaya possible sweep ito. Pag mangyari yan ay labanan na naman ng mga teams makuha 2nd spot. Cheesy

Medyo delikado pa rin ito sa Bucks kasi sila ang number 2 ngayon. Kung purpose talaga nilang mag patalo, baka ganon na rin gawin ng Orlando Magic, NYK, at Cleveland Cavaliers. Mukhang bago tong strategy nila, hehe.. maka iwas lang sa mga magagaliing na teams.

Swerte ang Bucks kung babagsak lnag sila sa number 4 kasi home court advantage pa rin, saka maaring Orland, NYK, Cleveland or Pacers makakalaban nila. Basta wag lang sa Miami Heat at Sixers kasi mukhang dehado pa yata sila diyan.

Celtics ang susunod na kalaban ng Bucks, kaya iwas iwas muna tayo at nagtatalo sila unless na willing kayong mag take ng risk.
Nanalo pa ang Bucks, anong nangyari? hehe... bakit natatalo sa weak teams pero tinalo ang number 1 team ngayon?
Number 2 pa rin sila now, pero si Giannis hindi na nakatapos ng laro kasi bigla nalang na injured, non-contact injury, pag ganyan daw mukhang seryoso.  naku coming pa naman ang playoffs, sana okay lang siya.

Sa West parin talaga maganda, pukpukan sa dulo, Lakers vs Warriors, homecourt advantage pa ang Lakers.

Llamado ang Lakers, ganda pa ng handicap sa kanila..

Naku, iba na talaga ang Warriors, biglang gumaling, pero pwede rin naman sabihin ng Lakers na kulang sila kasi wala si AD, pero bilib na talaga ako sa warriors now, at si Klay Thompson, mukhang consistent na maganda ang laro niya.

Yun nga rin itatanong ko sa inyo eh, hehehe, parehong dehado ngayon nanalo, sana mga mga pinalad na nakakuha kahi isa man lang sa nabanggit ko na yan na laro kasi parang may mali sa umpisa hehhe.

Ganda ng pinakita ng Warriors, parang yung championship version nila, at parang sa panalo ng Bucks nag-init si Draymond at si Lopez na big men sa first quarter pa lang at panay ang bato sa 3's. At yun ang naging cushion ng mga to para manalo. Siyempre nandun is Giannis at si Lillard, sa parte naman ng Warriors Splash brothers at mukang nag peak na si Klay sa shooting nya patapos ng regular season so tamang tama lang.
248  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Nery For Undisputed 122lbs Title - May on: April 09, 2024, 08:15:11 PM
@Baofeng. I reckon Inoue should not fight against someone without a big name. This thread is only 4 pages, however, the scam ICO fight of Mike Tyson and Jake Paul is more than 5 pages already hehehe. Why is this? This certainly implies that Inoue has not yet reached the same type of popularity like Pacman. Also, Inoue's fight is in Japan? He should begin to fight his championship defenses in as Vegas the fight capital of the world. There will also be more money in his purse if he will fight in Las Vegas.
But who he will fight, in his division when he is the king of all the organizations, the closest one so far is Nery, but when he steps into the Featherweight Division things will be interesting and exciting, as the featherweight is loaded with tough fighters.

If he is willing to stay, this 3 fighters,  Akhmadaliev, Casimero, and Sam Goodman and then that's it. He clean up the division and go south again at 126 lbs.

If he decides to go further like Manny Pacquiao did he will be on the biggest challenge, the Featherweight, Lightweight, and Welterweight will have a lot of challenges so the biggest question is can he hold on to these divisions?

I don't think he can go as high as welterweight though, Featherweight/Super Featherweight could be his last stop. It will be a hard task for him to challenge the champion of featherweight as majority of them have physical advantage on him, unlike in 118-122 lbs, he has all the advantage, like height, speed and power.
249  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lottery Fever. What are your range of thoughts in response to Lucky Winners? on: April 09, 2024, 07:47:38 PM
I love gambling but I'm against the lottery you mentioned. Because I don't believe now that I will win the lottery. Because if luck favored me then I will win otherwise there is no chance of winning. I never thought I would win the lottery. This is unlikely to happen now as I try to avoid lottery games. If I ever win the lottery, I will never worry that I will win the lottery. Lottery winners are definitely the luckiest people. There are many people who believe in lotteries and buy lotteries regularly but not all will win and it is not possible to win if some don't try.

If you believed that you are not going to win, then you will not simply as that.

Even here in our country, there is a lotto fever, although lately there was a bit of controversy here in the Philippines and I think majority of you know this issue already as it has been discussed here many times.

Regardless though, winning lottery is a life changer and that's why it a craze everywhere not just in the US. So for me, why not embrace uncertainty that most of us gamblers love? Who knows, we could be the next big lottery winners in our country.

This fight is approaching,



https://www.ringtv.com/665816-naoya-inoue-luis-nery-set-may-6-in-tokyo-three-title-fights-confirmed-for-undercard/

And as I check the odds, Nery is a huge underdog, 7:1. I'm not surprised though, Inoue is really on his prime and we don't see anyone at 122 lbs that can beat him. Even our favorite boxer Casimero, can't last the full 12 rounds in my opinion.

So if Inoue stay here for at least a year or two, he is going to clean up this division for good.

https://twitter.com/MichaelBensonn/status/1777428051938210132

Not that much, and there are another video of him hurting his sparring partner with a quick over hand left. We will probably see a video of Fury then next trying to trash talk Usyk with those videos that he released.
254  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: April 08, 2024, 08:00:24 PM
Considering we are getting very near the end of the season, every team is trying their best, even teams who are not that great end up playing their best ball in order to get a better seeding, or at least keep their seed. It's important to realize that these are all great players who sometimes have bad periods but when they do play, they are so good.

Klay may have seen like not a great player all season long, at least not the player we remember that well, not the dude with sixty points in three quarters type of game, or thirty seven in one quarter, those are Klay too and what saw this season wasn't that Klay. But he showed this game again that if he needs to be, he can still be that Klay when needed and that's what matters in the playoffs.

Klay is still a great shooter and scorer, and with a player of his caliber, just a matter of time before he catches fire and lately he has been average a decent close to 20 points if I'm not mistaken. He might not be the the prime Klay, but he is still very dangerous at any game and could win the game for them.

This is good for the Warriors and their fans to see Klay before the season end becoming the Splash Brother that he is known to be. It's going to be a great match if they and the Lakers are going to face for the play-in.
255  Local / Pamilihan / Re: NBA discussion, betting and etc. on: April 08, 2024, 01:14:01 PM
Meanwhile, parehas talo ulit sina Bucks at Cavs. Cheesy Ngayon nasa 3rd and 4th na Magic at Knicks. I guess papatalo mga to sa kanilang next games para di makuha 2nd slot. Same din sa Bucks na parang nagpadrop down ng ranking. Cheesy

4 losing streak sa Bucks at 3 losing streak naman sa Cavs. Itong Cavs mukhang nag try naman manalo kasi lamang sila kontra sa clippers, yun nga lang nakahabol ang Clippers at natalo pa sila. Pero itong Bucks, mukhang consistent na walang ganang maglaro, papa drop talaga ito para sure ball na ang first round nila.

Wala palang laban bukas, review2 nalang sa mga highlights, hehe..

Kaya nga kung titingnan natin ang Bucks, parang hindi maganda ang pagkuha kay Doc Rivers hehehe. Nasa losing skid sila ngayon at nag cho-choke na naman, talagang Doc Rivers ang datingan.

Halos lahat nga daw sinisisi ni Rivers pati mga crew nila, pero hindi ang sarili nila.

Pag to natalo sa playoffs sa first round talagang laking hinayang ni Giannis na naman nito.

The fight is taking place next month and once things has been almost constant from when the contracts were signed, the promotion is exceptionally muted. I cannot recall any important heavyweight boxing clash ever receiving less news and promotion. When you consider this is the first heavyweight unification fight since 1999, the silence is baffling.

I do agree, really puzzle me as well as why there are noise on this fight? We've seen more of Mike Tyson being interviewed by media about his fight with Jake Paul?

Or they are doing what they have done with the AJ vs Ngannou fight wherein it was also silent until the last minute, then suddenly they have a lot of promotions even creating this so called online games?

And base on the odds, almost 50/50, Usyk 1.89/Fury 1.85.
257  Local / Pamilihan / Re: Bingo Plus Discussion on: April 06, 2024, 08:36:08 PM
Just recently discover itong gambling casino na ito sa gcash since hindi ako masyadong nageexplore sa gcash app. Natuwa lang ako dahil yung mga original pinoy game kagaya ng color game, lucky 9 at tongits ay maari mo malaro dati kasama ang ibang online players.

Sobrang nostalgic laruin yung mga ganitong sugal na nilalaro ko nuong medyo bata pa ako kahit na papiso piso bet lng dati. May mga players ba dito namactive sa Bingo plus? Ano mga favorite nyong nilalaro?

Yes, isa ako sa mga naglalaro ng mga games sa bingo plus, slot games, minsan baccarat at ang kina career ko ngayon eh ang lightning roulette ng Evolution. Matagal na tong laro na to sa Gcash at marami pang mga iba't ibang games, katulad ng binanggit mo color game. Meron pa palang isa na games yung crazy time, nanalo isang tropa ko dyan ng $75k. Basta ingat ingat lang, alam natin naman ang dulot nitong gambling na easy access na sa tin. Minsan matatalo ako ng malaki, makakabawi then talo na naman. Tingin ko marami sa tin dito na naglalaro sa Bingo plus na yan.
Madami palang laro eto. Kala ko bingo lang. nakita ko na eto sa ads sa tv pinopromote ni maine mendoza at piolo pascual. Ang akala ko ay bingo lang yung parang card game na lalagyan mo ng x kaya hindi ko pinapansin. Masubukan nga baka manalo din ng $75k dollar milyon ang halaga noon sa peso diba para ka na ring nanalo sa lotto ang kaibahan lang piso lang ang taya mo tama ba?

Oo kabayan, madaming laro, iba't ibang klase ng slot and card games kaya nakakaenjoy din sya minsan laruin if naghahanap ka ng for past time basta kaya mo lang ilimit yung spending habits lo habang naglalaro, naka connect kasi sa gcash yan kaya madali mag cash in once na maubos yung alloted money mo for gambling. Isa sa mga paborito kong laruin jan ay yun color game, dati kasi sa perya ko lang yun nalalaro pero ngayon digital na, meron nadin sa iba't ibang gambling sites.

Sobrang dami talaga at sobrang dami narin ang naaadik sa mga laro sa bingo plus. Yung mga laro na makikita nyo sa land base casinos natin kung nagpupunta kayo (RW, Solaire, COD) ay lahat ay accessible na.

Kaya wag na tayong magtaka kung bakit daming nasisirang ulo na mga Pinoy ngayon kakasugal hehehe. Kahit ordinaryong tao sa kalye talagang maaadict na. Dami ko narin nakitang ganyan dito sa min na nalulong na.

Do you guys have other solutions to this kind of problem? Because that's all I can think of. He will probably lay low for a month or two but he will be back to gambling again.

The only solution here is to go to rehab, there is no amount of persuasion and talk to this person to change and make a U-turn. However, as you have said, he is now missing, but once he goes home again, then at least some family members will have to talk and some form of intervention.

But I don't know in our country, there could be a lot of rehabilitation facilities but it can cost money as well if you enter him. But at least that is the only way for him to stay away from gambling and maybe it will really help him a lot. There will be a lot of time for him to think it over while he was in the rehab.
259  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: April 06, 2024, 11:16:38 AM
PJ Washington Jr.!!! Yeah! Step up your game!

Dallas Mavericks won against the Golden State Warriors in a teeth-clenching game. PJ scored 32 tonight and the last basket was made by him so I guess he is the hero for the Mavs. Good defense against Steph Curry too avoiding that three-point shot because he was damn hot and he had been scoring the last possessions for the Warriors.
The defensive play was right, double Curry, rotate the defense, and Klay had a hard time to set his feet for the last shot so he missed it.

Good win for the Mavs even without Luka. Kai being a leader is so fun to watch, I really like how is playing when he went to the Mavs. 13 wins out of 15. So strong.

Haven't seen the game as I don't have any bet, but if the Warriors lost without Luka then that is a big blow for them. The Warriors are in a momentum, have a winning streak and has a great chance to extend it today.

But I guess they might be tired about that big win against Houston and thinking that they could be really in the play-in. Just a matter who will be their opponent. I will have to check the highlights though.

Lets take a look at the family aspect of everyone gambling and try to give our individual opinions concerning these questions i will like us to discuss from regarding how we are gambling and how that can affect the family for the benefits of those already having one and those that will soon be in the league of a family man, lets make it as simple as possible in giving our earnest contributions on our take from this following questions i have for us.

1. At what age will you allow your child to start gambling? that is if you will even allow for that at all?

As a parent and as a gambler and knowing the consequences of bad gambling habits, obviously, you don't what your children to fall for it.

2. At what age do you see yourself quit gambling? that is also if some of us are going to ever do so?

I don't see myself quitting, I mean I have gone into a stage wherein I don't see myself as a gambling addict. Yeah, sometimes I bet more than I can afford to lose but it's just for fun and I know that I will be ok.

3. Ever since you have started gambling, have you ever achieve a satisfying level that makes you think it has good impact on you?

Yeah, when I win big in a casino and at the same time having fun with families and friends playing along.

4. Would you have missed out on anything if you were not a gambler?

Maybe going and playing on land base casinos, still very experience and seeing some familiar faces and even strike a conversation with them.
