I like the Celtics to beat the Nets, Timberwolves to beat the Trail Blazers, and the Lakers to beat the Pistons tonight.
Celtics already won the game, I'm not sure if you bet on the point spread as they didn't cover the spread. About the Lakers, they are ahead now, might cover the spread but the Timbelwolves, it's quite close now as Portland were able to come back in the 2nd quarter. The game I’m really excited to watch though, but won’t be betting on, is the Sacramento Kings vs the Phoenix Suns. Both teams are playing great so that will no doubt be a good matchup. So far the Sacramento Kings are controlling the game with 11 points lead now, but just like their last meeting, no lead is safe since Suns were able to comeback that time even when they are down by a huge margin. |

Seems to have a good basis, though if Magnolia manage to win game 6 SMB will be in trouble, they might know that and they might push game 6 and try all their best to win the game.
Right now, they are in a 50-50 chance although SMB is taking the lead in the series. A win by Magnolia in game 6 will not change the status of their match up in game 7. In fact, I believe the series will be more interesting since it has a game 7 and people will be watching, i think the right bet IMO is Magnoli with the spread because if it's going to be a close game, Magnolia might be able to cover the spread. I guess if following the trend placing your bet for magnolia with a handicap might be possible as they already knew what to do its just so happened that the shooters of SMB got their shots fallen but if those shots did not surely Magnolia might take that game 5, its more on how good you are in taking the risk, we are seeing good competition even its a sister companies that competing for the title, both are hungry and really wanting to win. They are a sister team, sure they can manipulate the outcome of the game by telling their players to "slow down". I guess I'm not betting now, will be watching it first and try to feel where's the rig favors, then I'll just do a live betting with a very attractive odds and line. Both teams are healthy, it just have to go down on what the league would want to happen, but I'm with "YES TO GAME 7". |

Most people will criticize and look you down when they know that is your working salary (small). So I let people around me make their assumptions rather than telling the truth about me because people become happy when they see someone below them and get jealous when they know you have a lot of money. Yes, it is better not to share with anyone (even your relatives), keep it secret so they won't suspect you are rich and rob you. We don't need to get their attention but rather think we are poor and empty as it was still fine. They never own our lives, so it was not necessary to tell them the truth.

Pick 3 : Nuggets -1
Bucks had a dominant on their last game but against the Nuggets, I doubt.. I think they haven't figure out the right chemistry to win, so they are on a big test vs the Nuggets, and I don't want to gamble on them.
Congrats on the Bulls and Rockets pick mate.. That Rockets game almost went to OT. Refs called a foul on the last attempt, lol. That destroy the chance of the Knicks to win, a wasted efffort on the come back. Bout the Nuggets, I thought this team is for rea, but they struggled again, loss already twice in a row in blowout. Can anyone tell me what's happening to this team so we can stay away from betting on them? |

Learning is necessary, not just by knowing what the market looks like but it plays an important role as our key to success because nobody reaches their goal without knowledge. At least knowing the basics will help us understand what is investing all about as it was difficult to make decisions when we don't have any idea about this stuff. In fact, even though we have been in the market already for several years, we still need to continue learning because we believe that this is the only way that would bring us success.
Don't go to battle if you don't know how to load and shoot a gun as you are just a dead man. Don't invest if you are not prepared yet as you just lose in the end.

A poor man should not even gamble. Why should a poor man play with money when he only has a small amount of it? He is poor, meaning he cannot fully support all his needs. He cannot provide decent food, shelter, clothing to himself and his family. He finds it hard or even impossible for his children to get a decent education. That's what being poor means. So why should he be gambling? I think he has no right to gamble when he can't even provide for his family's needs.
However, in reality, throughout the world, the majority of gambling players are poor people, especially online gamblers. They gamble to change their fate and hope to get good luck from gambling. In my opinion, this online gambling phenomenon is the cause of unequal employment opportunities in a country, so that many cannot get out of poverty so the choice or path they take is gambling. So it is not surprising that the greatest risk from gambling is among the poor. That's so true. Many poor people are gambling because they want the easiest way out of their condition. They want the quickest possible way for them to change their fate and live better lives. Many poor people are buying lottery tickets hoping that they hit the jackpot because that's for them the only way to get a turnaround. Not only is this built on false hope, this also speaks a lot of their character and possibly explains why they are poor and remain poor. Poor people have different views about gambling as they think that it is the last option for them to improve. Even though they only have a small income, they still manage to spend money on gambling. It is an unfortunate decision but I understand them because even if they work hard, it won't change their status instantly. But having tried into gambling, if they are too lucky, this would change everything. It was just believing into a very slim chance in life but who knows? Their decision looks so wrong but can't judge them either as they also have reasons of doing this. |

Not actually bad for a student to do this but should be made wisely. I believe he is able to see the potential value of Bitcoin in the future and gain interest from it but he must know the risk that he face. However, everything can be learned and can be managed as long as we want.
May investing is not his priority but making an investment from our extra money is undeniably a great decision. Despite his age and being a student, I don't think it is impossible to manage his investment well. I consider that a great move and initiative from a student who thinks about the future rather than spending his money on useless stuff.

Enough time for JMF to rest, I think they likely to find ways to adjust with how Magnolia is playing them, SMB needs to find the right system to execute in countering Magnolia's offensive and defensive strategy, they manage to limit Boatwright and the rest of SMB's scorers, now it's time for SMB to make that good adjustments and find ways to make sure that they will be taking game 5 and put them back at the top.
on the other side, Magnolia's winning streak gives them confidence as they are doing so well limiting SMB's offensive attacks.
After game 2, I thought or many of us thought that this would be a sweep for SMB Beermen but suddenly the series became interesting as Magnolia managed to even the score, and most importantly they have now the momentum. As for Junemar Fajardo's injury, nothing to be worried about as he said that he will be available in the pivotal game 5. Though the Hotshots got the momentum but still i will be back the wards of coach Jorge Gallent for tomorrow night's game.  That's a good news, however, I think I need to watch him play first if he is 100%, I can't risk my money so I will just bet live as this could be the same as last game where they are close at the start. I know SMB will win tomorrow, they will not allow to lose 3 straights, and I can also see that their 3 point shooting will be improving. By the way, anyone here played some bet builder for tomorrow's game? |

Being addicted to gambling can be a thorn in the flesh. We have heard many bad behavior from gambling addicts that shows that gambling is a serious concern requiring serious efforts at curbing it. Many casinos also include in their disclaimer "gamble responsibly" and this shows the danger of gambling addiction.
However, I'm wondering if addiction can make someone become aggressive to the point of leading to domestic violence. Has there been any known case of it happening? Lets know what you have to say.
Been addicted in gambling is not something that can cause a violence but what it can cause you is to be a uncomfortable in your homes because everytime you will be thinking of the money you lose and how you spend money everytime without winning so with that it will make you to be uncomfortable but not be aggressive because right from the beginning you have already know that gambling is all about risk and when you don't take the risk that is involve in gambling you will be unable to make profit in gambling, so I believe that gambling can only make you to be aggressive and violence when you discuss about your loss with people. Addiction is one reason why a gambler becomes irresponsible. They are not just aggressive and violent when asked how much they lose but their mindset is badly affected as well. Just to compare a responsible gambler to an addicted gambler, you will notice the big difference in their behavior and that will tell us about the influence on their minds and personalities. I can't blame people for thinking gambling addiction creates violence because that is what people are seeing. Casinos don't want gamblers to be caught in addiction but they don't have full control of it because, for me, it was a choice as we can avoid it if we want. |

What are your thoughts on this ~ Let's discuss
Nothing has changed, people are buying Bitcoin for the sake of making money. They will take risks, - buy, hold, and sell them. What brings people to invest in Bitcoin is because of its profit potential. People are investing in Bitcoin believing that this would give more wealth to the rich and a better life for the poor. In fact, when someone talks about investing in Bitcoin, many will then say he/she is rich. I don't know where they got that idea but most of us think that all Bitcoin investors have a better future. There is optimism and hope, and that somewhat makes others think why not try this? Ain't no regret form doing this, it is an opportunity and we know it was a good investment. |

- I uninstall the gambling app on my phone
- I encourage myself not to open gambling sites for a certain period
- changing hobbies like sports
It is to be found hard for other gamblers but it was easy for me because I'm not a frequent gambler. It really depends on us on how to adjust and manage our time in gambling and I know we can do it if our mind isn't just focused on gambling. If I go home, I keep myself away from gadgets where I have access to the internet which I see as an effective strategy.

Gambling and investment is two different things and i dont know on why people keep on spouting about the two. The only thing that gambling would turn out to be an investment if you do
make out that directly bankroll investment but if you are someone whose really that directly making up some gambling betting or activity then you are just simply a gambler.
Basing up on the conditions that we are seeing on OP on offering some potential investment which it isnt really an investment but rather an indirect betting of course.
You would really be getting a percentage profit out of those profits that had been made by those pooled funds that being used on betting or gambling.
Yes, its still gambling after all and the risks you are making is doubled considering that you had made out some deposit into other peoples hands.
That's right, gambling and investing are two different activities. Gambling is an exciting activity if someone can enjoy it and what is clear is that the results can be both losses and profits, but often many people lose, whereas when investing we do good activities with good goals so that one day we will make a profit. for ourselves, but we must be able to choose the right investment. true and correct. It depends on your perception in gambling, it could be an investment if you are willing to risk a capital to start your own gambling site, or some may call investing when you are into sports betting, I'm talking about the professionals in gambling. However, it's not advisable to follow that path if we don't have the kind of discipline they have, yes, it's about discipline when you think you can go beyond entertainment to win For us, being such a typical gamblers, we better stay safe and that is by gambling for fun only. |

Just a quick update, in this game, the Best player of the conference and the best import were announced.
Here are the winners.
Best import - Jonathan Williams.
Best Player of the conference - CJ Perez
Well deserved for these two entertaining players. I thought the competition will be between the import of Magnolia and SMB but to my surprise, it was the import of Phoenix Fuel Masters who won the race. Well, I can say that he is a good import because he brought Phoenix to the semi Finals, a success that they were not able to achieve before. And as to the best player, this is a fair judgement, and I hope CJ will prove it tonight on why he was choosen.
Everyone probably thought of it, but we can't deny the contribution of Williams in the playoffs, he turned a mediocre team into a playoff team and their coach really like him calling him as their silent leader. Williams is very humble, so he deserve this although his team didn't advance in the Finals. I'm sure Phoenix will still get him on conference that his height will qualify, so he just have to stick around as he found a team that really admire him. |

The reality is that we are seeing something that isn't really predictable at the moment, we are not at halving or near yet, but we are not far, we have seen it go up to around 49k but we have seen it go under 40k as well. As we have it right now, it is easy to say that anything could happen, and that is why it is a risky thing.
I think it's clear that we are going to end up with some terrible decisions if we do not know what we are doing and we should be careful about that. I understand it is going to be hard for you to handle if you can't deal with volatility in the crypto market. Just deal with what you have at the moment and you are going to se a lot of volatility this month, can't say which direction, maybe even towards both directions.
It is uncertain, but the market is quite healthy than last month. However, it gives us no confidence to keep seeing the current market momentum, inevitable drops seem to happen anytime without letting us know before it strikes. I can't expect $50k this month but can't erase the possibility it comes especially if the uptrend continues. Yes, we still be careful but if we just hold, I think we have nothing to worry about the situation. For the buyers, I think the best thing to do is to wait for some correction as it comes any of these days. Maybe I have missed something but I can't afford to always check the market situation every day. |

life is neglected, even our own family will sometimes hate and shun us due to gambling addiction, it is so painful that everything is destroyed because of gambling, we don't have a family, our finances are disrupted and even if we want to stop it will be difficult to do so.
Well, if your families and friends are not used to having accompanying people who are addicted to any sort of gambling or drugs, you won't be tolerated and the worst-case scenario is you will be kicked out of home since they can no longer control you or you cause more harm than giving any benefits to them. when you ask those homeless who were used to living with their families, their answers are almost the same, they were kicked out because they could not be under control anymore and they don't listen to anybody inside their home, and at the end, they were force to be homeless and others are further drone to their addictions because of it and only a few of them wanted to change for the better. It ends up with broken relationships and respect. But I understand that they have a reason for doing this for the safety protection of the family members and reputation yet, the impact on the other side is worse, the more it falls into addiction. It is indeed not just financial loss but it was losing our chances to gain respect and negative treatment, most are rejections. I can't imagine having that life, so if we have the chance and a reason to correct it, why not? We just think about our future rather than be treated like this as addiction doesn't give any help and benefits instead, all are negative. |

Money/Capital is one reason why many people decline such opportunities. We know that DCA is a good strategy usually used by small investors but for some individuals, it is still hard for them to start. But if we have interest and think about the future, we could really find a way to make it possible.
However, it was noted also that not all are capable enough. Those who are considered the poorest people, we can't think they could make it.
We can say Bitcoin investment is open for everyone but not all can partake because investment is a choice and we can't pull people to do this if they don't have interest and knowledge as well. They just come if they want and ignore if they don't in fact, even rich people do.

Moving on to game 4 of the Finals. Have you guys already check out the betting odds, if not yet, let me drop it here.
SMB -3.5 vs Magnolia, the total is still 190.5, last time it went under, and I guess it wen't over on the first 2 games where SMB won.
It was under because the shooting percentage of SMB dropped significantly. I think it will not happen again, they'll make an adjustment to ensure they'll take a commanding lead of 3-1 in the series. It will be tomorrow at 7:30 PM. Bey remained consistent with his poor production on the offense, he finished with only 11 points, but the local of the Magnolia had found their rthym, to name, they are Barroca, Sanggalang, Paul Lee, Jalalon, and Dionesio. If that's the trend, it's easy to predict the total, SMB wins game 4, the total will be over, I guess the over 190.5 is more attractive, because if SMB will dictate and it will still result to a competitive game, the game might end up in OT ( at least a chance), and that would add possibility hitting the over, if not yet hit during the regular time.
I will tail with your prediction, if SMB will dictate the tempo of the game, it should be a high scoring game. Other alternative is betting on SMB team total points. |

Embiid had a knee surgery, expect that he'll miss the remainder of the season. https://www.foxsports.com/articles/nba/nba-mvp-and-76ers-center-joel-embiid-had-knee-surgery-his-injury-could-affect-the-us-olympic-teamNBA MVP and 76ers center Joel Embiid had knee surgery. His injury could affect the US Olympic team Well, obviously this team will struggle as I haven't remembered in the past that they reach the playoffs without Joel Embiid. And that time, they were stronger as they had Harden on the team, but now there's no other superstar that are on the level of Harden who had a lot of playoffs experience and had played in the NBA Finals. The only one I see that could lead the team is Maxey, but he is still young and lack of experience. There are mixed news online, some source tells he is ruled out for the season, while others says he will missed 6-8 weeks. It's hard to expect that he'll come back, I think at this early, we should be ready of the possibility that he will not be able to come back anymore and will just be preparing for the next season once he healed up. Embiid is on the MVP race this season, if he was able to remain healthy, he could win the MVP competition, but here he goes again. I'm not blaming him being out again, we know it could happen so we have to accept it. Good thing Zion still stays healthy until now, this could be his longest season played so far. |

People have learned how difficult it is when we only have 1 source of income. It is just remembering 10 years, 20 years ago we just simply ignored many opportunities that we see around, and even Bitcoin because what is in our mind is that we already have enough without thinking inflations comes.
Now, we feel regret for not taking it and we realize how important to plan our future ahead of time. Just imagine why rich people become richer because they have plans already, they invest in something that they will think they could benefit from. Just like investing in Bitcoin, if we all see its potential 12 years ago, many of us are rich already but as usual, it is too late to notice.

Many people go online to find get rich quick schemes, where they can put little efforts and make so much money, they think that one of the ways to achieve this aim is to go into crypto trading. And YouTubers who're out to make money off them will scam them, eventually they'll enter the trading without adequate knowledge and lose all their money, some will then learn the hard way on the job about how to actually trade and others will call crypto trading a scam , then leave.
Then they are wasting their time in trading because we already foresee what will happen to these traders where in trading without knowledge that certainly impossible to make money but losses. And this kind of thinking should be changed if we are our money and if we are smart enough ti evaluate the situation as we can't just be blind knowing that trading simply doesn't work with proper knowledge, trading skills, and effective strategies. That is why a lot of people fall into the scam because of these media influencers, and a lot of people lose their money due to misinformation. And this will repeatedly happen because still a lot of individuals are greedy and believe in the wrong views of trading (easy money). |
