Tapales can use this opportunity to scout more about Inoue's fighting strategy. He needed to work more to find possible ways to beat or
to counter Inoue's power, though the winning chance probably won't change.

But giving that time to equip his fighting capabilities to stay up and a possible surviving the fight for possible decision ending.

We never know what fate will be for Tapales if both luck and good preparation will give him the winning outcome.

Tapales should avoid thinking about taking the fight to a decision because I'm absolutely certain it won't be in his favor. Inoue is known for his knockout ability, so Tapales needs to have confidence in his own power and believe that he can match Inoue's strength. This mindset will make him more aggressive and motivate him to go for the knockout. There's no chance of victory if he doesn't take that approach.
Could be, but it's very hard to go toe to toe against Inoue, Donaire uses that strategy and get caught by a huge punch and was out in 2 rounds. Fulton tries to be cautious, however he made one mistakes and that's what Inoue wanted and then gets him in the canvass and that's it. That's why it's hard to see what kind of strategy Tapales will have to do in order to win this fight.

He could go and make the fight and rough Inoue, but I don't think that fans gonna love it when we see him just hugging Inoue. So we will see what kind of strategy they will have but Tapales should have a lot of plans just in case. So it means going full 12 rounds and hopefully he can win in the judges scorecard and there's no home cook decision.

Yup, Inoue's power punches can bring Tapales to kiss the canvass just like how Donaire ends his rematch against the monster.
like what you said, it's tough to find the right strategy, but he Tapales needed that.

For now, the delay of the schedule will give him time to prepare and to continue working with whatever his camp thinks that will help him.

Something that may allow him to stand out and surprise Inoue. Whatever it is or whatever strategy may it be, he needs to build that
confidence as in overall stats, Inoue really got a far advantage.

I don’t know who at ESPN is doing their NBA rankings and predictions but I wish I could bet against them. After the horrible take on the Bucks upcoming season, they’re now saying that Zion Williamson is the 57th best player in the NBA. I could maybe see calling him the 20th, but 57th? If he plays in even 50 games this year he’ll likely be an MVP candidate…
If he would stay healthy I could see him being top 20, but the fact that he can't play a full season without being injured would have him ranked 200th IMO. If he won't condition himself to play the whole season, he's worthless. He's only good for letting his team down.
Let's wish he will be better this season. I saw how the New Orleans Pelicans are playing with full of energy whenever he is around "playing" not sitting and I think they are strong enough to compete in the playoffs with BI and CJ. I am one of the guys that is hyped when they tried their best to be part of the play in tournament unlike the Dallas Mavericks who gave it up early just to have a better pick at the draft.
This season should be their time to shine. It doesn't need to be in the Finals but if they get as near as it then it makes the NBA more entertaining and then Zion will get his reputation back to trend again.

Playing healthy, I can agree to that, with Zion and CJ plus everyone on the rotation, they can really compete and bring hard time to anyone.

I think if Zion will be playing more games this season with less or no injury they can push to the playoff and make the team to be more competitive,
Both Zion and CJ can produce decent numbers and, with a good chemistry, they might carry the entire squad to move to the next round.

Too early though, as we needed to see first whether Zion will be on his full potential in this season or just like the other season he will
be bench because of his injury.

Gawin mo lang libangan at sa origin ibang iba ang gameplay. Kung enjoyment ka lang naman at sa classic ang gusto mo, hindi ko lang sigurado kung magkakaroon sila ng panibagong season dahil mukhang successful naman itong nakaraang season at mga nasa rankings na pasok ay may reward ng AXS. Kung gusto ng manager mo sa origins at di ka pa sanay, tuloy mo lang at practice ka lang at nasa sayo yan kung mae-enjoy mo. Pero kung hindi ka enjoy at gusto mo lang mag stay sa classic, kung ako sayo bili ka nalang ng sarili mong mga axie dahil napakamura naman ngayon. Sabagay okay din naman gamitin sa classic yung mga axies mo sa origin kaso ibang iba ang gameplay parang tipong walang tatalo sa classic. Ayaw ko ng origins kasi parang di ko trip kaya kung enjoy enjoy lang at hanap ng sakit ng ulo, punta lang sa classic version at laro laro lang hanggang sa sumakit ulit ang ulo sa stress. Pero pwera biro, nakakaenjoy talaga ang classic at madami pa ring naglalaro.
Naeenjoy ko naman ang pagbabalik sa Axie Infinity: Origins, naging komportable na ako sa paglalaro nito, at ito na ang gusto ko. Hindi ko na iniisip kung may makukuha ako o wala, kaya mas pinipili kong maging iskolar na lang dahil hindi naman ako nakafull-time dito. Mas naging exciting na dahil sa pag-equip ng runes at charms nila, parang nilalagyan ng thrill ang classic, at puwede pa itong i-mint o ibenta. Ngayon, nag-disenchant na ako ng mga expired runes at charms para magkaroon ng bago sa Season 6. Unti-unti ko na ring nakukuha ang strategy sa tulong ng mga coaches para makaakyat sa leaderboad.

Ganyan din naramdaman ko nung bumalik ako sa pag laro ng axie eh. Wala na yung dating pressure na need manalo each match at ubusin ang energy para masulit yung investment, ngayon pure entertainment nalang talaga. Mas naeenjoy ko mag laro at unti unti ko na din nakukuha yung mechanics ng origin though di ako masyadong tutok sa pag lalaro given na minsan minsan nalang ako nag lalaro pero goods parin na mag laro ngayon kasi na eenjoy ko naman. Less pressure, more enjoyment.

Ayos na rin kung ang treatment mo sa game eh pang entertainment na lang talaga gaya nga ng sinabi mo dati kasi more on income
kaya talagang pressure ka na manalo.

Ngayon kasi dahil nga sa maliit or halos wala na talagang kikitain ung pressure sa laro eh hindi na rin ganun kalaki, kung tutuusin ang focus
na lang talaga eh maenjoy mo yung game as in dun ka sa mga pwedeng combination na maaaring manalo.

How will you feel if someone you know or just a friend of a friend walk up to you and ask you to finance them in gambling in exchange for a portion of their winnings? Does this even make any sense?

Because the only place this makes a bit sense is the skills base niche like forex trading or crypto trading, how can gambling/gambler be financed?

Have you heard of such before? What is the end result if you have?

Why would you trust anyone to gamble better than you can when it's all about luck?

Is anyone doing this on here?

Someone explained this to me, and I believe he is already a victim because to me it doesn't make sense, I believe he is been used because he lacks knowledge about gambling, do you think my judgment is wrong?



Your judgement is right. Why bother to invest into something that you fully understand that the chance of earning is at risk, we are talking
about gambling and no one can guarantee a sure winning outcome from time to time.

Even it's a friend or a close relative, there's no assurance that they can win every time or they can have that advantage in dealing with it.

Though, we do have different views about it and maybe there are some who can practice it (just maybe), but still the chance of losing
is far higher than the chance of making decent benefits, better to gamble according to your own and not to invest out for someone.
345  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The most risky adventure you must avoid on: October 10, 2023, 09:13:30 AM
I think it's possible to calculate the risk but it may not be totally accurate. So that's right that in order to not regret just in case we lose all our allocated capital, it's better to just use the money that we can easily lose.

Absolutely, you hit the nail on the head there. When you don't calculate the risks, it's like going in with this unwavering belief in your success rate, almost like relying solely on luck, which isn't the best strategy. Luck tends to be a fickle friend, it can't always be on our side, and if we rely on it too heavily, we're likely to end up losing our money. All our efforts would go to waste, and we'd just keep failing. That's why it's crucial to take calculated risks and make informed decisions, especially in areas like gambling or investments.

You have to follow whatever the setup that you create, limiting everything in terms of time and money when you are inside gambling
is very important, it gives you the chance to complete the enjoyment.

I mean, either you win or you lose if you set up your limitation and not to allow yourself to exceed from it will be just a fine day for you after playing.

You can quit/stop without any regrets that you lose too much or if you manage to quit while you are still in positive then it will add up
with the fun that you experienced after playing.

https://www.boxing247.com/boxing-news/naoya-inoue-marlon-tapales/269394
Arum Says Naoya Inoue-Marlon Tapales “Moving Forward” For December 26th In Japan
Quote
The great country of Japan always stages a big boxing event during the Christmas holidays, usually on New Year’s Eve. We could still get the New Year’s Eve party, but what has been tweeted by Steve Kim is the fact that Bob Arum has informed him that it’s looking likely that the Naoya Inoue-Marlon Tapales super-bantamweight unification clash will take place in Japan on December 26th, Boxing Day! How appropriate.

If it is, then I am a bit sad. I kind of got excited that the fight would be near and now it has been moved a month more.
Japan again. Tapales would need to score big if he wants to win or he should knock Inoue down just to be sure. If their fight ends in a split decision then it might cause another ruckus about the conspiracy of an underground group in boxing that is twisting the judges' scorecards. Shit happens. It's either him or Inoue lying on the canvas or like I said score like there's no tomorrow and put a gap between him and Inoue. I am not saying they will cheat but whenever boxing events are played in a different country, magics do happen like it's Disney.

If that's true then good thing for Marlon Tapales lol. He will have a much longer time for the preparation.

Besides it's just a month away from the original date. It's alright mate. Tapales needs more time to prepare for the monster.

I hope this extension will able to improve Tapales more. On the other hand, the extension also gives Inoue more time to prepare.

Tapales can use this opportunity to scout more about Inoue's fighting strategy. He needed to work more to find possible ways to beat or
to counter Inoue's power, though the winning chance probably won't change.

But giving that time to equip his fighting capabilities to stay up and a possible surviving the fight for possible decision ending.

We never know what fate will be for Tapales if both luck and good preparation will give him the winning outcome.
347  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Credit card gambling fuels gambling addiction on: October 10, 2023, 03:32:39 AM
Good thing I'm not also fond of using my credit card every time I gamble. I don't like it's high transaction fees especially that it never guarantees me to win. So I always chose to pay in cash, an amount that I can easily afford to lose. However, for me it's not using credit card that actually fuels gambling addiction but it's always the attitude of the gambler itself. If he gambles without seeing a budget limit and just decide to gamble whenever he wants to, definitely he will really fall into gambling addiction. And for those who gamble thinking that casinos are providing them source of living, then it's always possible that these gamblers will end up having gambling addiction.


It's always the attitude and control of the person though there's influence with the help of credit card knowing that you can use it as good as cash
but like what you mentioned, the high fees will hurt you, especially if you don't have the source for paying.

The interest will kill your you as it will keep increasing once you cannot pay for it. Remember that in each action you take, there's always
responsibilities that you need to consider.

Always think about the possible impact before taking the route. You are dealing with gambling and there's always a bad side-effects if you can't
handle the pressures.

Indeed this event would not happen if the organization know that its high risk place to play with their brought stars but all show some love in the game of basketball that's why they end up this successful event that they will never forget. For sure the prisoners participate on this event really enjoy this big moment of their life and got encourage that there's a life better than what currently they are on since they are been noticed by big names of this industry.

Golden State Warriors show all love at this event so for sure they will get a lot of recognition with this since I think no other team done this simple act of kindness to the person who think they are left behind on the society. Hope that game could inspire prisoner to change their life and be a better baller.

Yeah, before they went in that location they are assured that security will be tightened to make sure that there's no problem that will take place.
Good deed has been made as they gave those people a reason to continue life and this temporary entertainment can fuel the desire to have
a better life after.

Things have been done with generosity, even its part of advertisement, but choosing the venue like this is something that.

It's an opportunity to feel that you are not less fortunate and with this experience, those prisoners will be inspired to change up, maybe some not generalizing, though.

Parang by batch ata yung pag-release ni medusa ng data from Philheath at inuna yung mga employee data bago yung sa mismong members. I doubt naman na hindi legit yung mga na-upload ni medusa.

Ang mahirap lang kasi dyan ay nagbabala na mismo si Philheath na madadawit yung mga taong magsusubok magdownload ng mga files at possible pang may malware na kasama yung data na inupload ni medusa. Much better na umiwas na lang muna kesa madamay pa dahil curious tayo.
Paanong madadawit? Akala ko naman yung mga nagdownload pa ang hahabulin nila. Possible na may malware pero tingin ko hindi na sila maglalagay nun. Pero mas mabuti nang safe, kahit nga ako gusto kong tignan files para sana malaman if may naleak sa family ko at malaman ano ang mga ito. Baka ipatingin ko nalang sa kakilala kong nag download.

Anyways, sana mangyari yung mga nakikita kong comments at suggestions sa social media about mass filing ng lawsuit dahil sa nangyaring ito para malagot ang dapat malagot at magawan ng aksyon upang maiwasan to sa susunod.
Sana para may mangyaring pagbabago, alisin mga naging pabaya at managot ang pinaka nakikinabang sa pondo ng Philhealth.
Based sa napanuod kong balita, parang binababalaan daw yung mga may balak magdownload nung files na in-upload ng Medusa at posibleng madawit at may kaukulang parusa dahil sa pag-access sa sensitibong files. Hindi ko na mahanap yung mismong video nung balita dahil sa tiktok ko lang yun napanood.

Yun na nga siguradong malaking pagkukulang yung nangyari sa mismong ahensya ng Philheath dahil dapat may cybersecurity para maprotektahan yung mga data ng taong bayan. Sana lang talaga may magstep up para simulan yung lawsuit para mas maimbestigahan at maayos yung nangyari.

Parang illogical naman kung pagkakatiwalaan mong i-download yung files kahit na alam mong galing sa hacker, parang ikaw mismo matatakot
na baka may kasamang tanim yun sa loob ng files para maacess yung un system mo.

Pero sabihin na nating may ganyang ngang restriction para dun sa magdodownload sa palagay ko wala ding silbi un kasi yung ginawa ng medusa alarming  na yun, walang cybersecurity yung ahensya kaya nakapag penetrate yung hackers.

Dapat lang na panagutin yung nasa likod ng kapabayaan na nangyari, sa simula pa lang dapat alam na nila yung maririsk at dapat meron silang
prevention hindi katulad ngayon na hahanap pa sila ng ppwedeng maging solusyon.

Meanwhile, Steve Kim talked to Bob Arum and it's said that the fight is looking forward this December 26 in Japan once again. So it seems like American money is once again beaten by the Japanese sponsors in trying to bring this undisputed fight to Inoue's home. But at least things are clearer now that this fight will happen. But it's not too late yet for ESPN and its partners to bid more money in order to bring this fight to America.

This venue's a bit of a snoozer, right? Hehe, sorry for being blunt. I think this whole thing should go down on neutral ground. I mean, we're talking about two champions here, it's an undisputed fight, so there shouldn't be any home court advantage. Bringing it over to the US would be a win for boxing – big money's up for grabs there. Not only will the arena be packed, but their PPV subscriptions would shoot through the roof. Let's hope they see the potential in that.

Yeah, we even don't know if we can watch the fight live or it someone from Japan will stream the fight live so that we can all watch it happen. Again, Inoue doesn't want to get out of his comfort zone and just choices to play in Japan. Wherein he had generated the buzz already, Mike Tyson is talking about him, there are boxing fans says that he can go as high as 135 lbs and fight Tank Davis.

So there's already a lot of hype on him. But if he keep on fighting in his hometown, then he will not make enough money though. Still the mecca of boxing is in the US and he could easily generation millions there, as he will be the A-side so he could dictate the terms and then there is PPV numbers or even the live gates. It will be enough for him to just go out and fight one time in the US and making a lot of money.

Yeah, there are many people who wanted to see him fighting outside of his comfort zone and in terms of generating bigger profits,
it's true that U.S can give him better compensation.

But, I think either it's a strategy to make him more visible in the eyes of everyone if he continue to resist that call and continue what he wanted to do.

Though, his handlers might also have that influence if they decided to explore and accept a fight outside his homeland.

I haven't seen the odds of this over 48.5 wins. But if this is 1.80 or above then I am taking this risk.

Hey there, mate, I'm afraid you can't get those odds with over 48.5 wins because currently, it's higher than that. The odds are already out on sportsbet.io, so you can check it out for yourself.




https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/basketball/usa/nba/nba-23-24-6490d1eb11281ad1f2fbdce3

Though even it's not 48.5 but 54.5 wins with Giannis and Dame still realistic to happen, if you love to spare money in risking into something
this kind of bet might attract you.

Early pick that will allow you to place your future bet, if things turn good for the Bucks. I mean, if Dame will support Giannis as the main alpha
of the team and put everything to his new team. The chance of winning that pick is very possible.
352  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: October 07, 2023, 08:54:24 AM
Now, as for the betting odds, I'm also curious. I think they should be around 1.10 or even lower because this lineup seems unbeatable.

It's been out for a while now, and with this lineup, the USA is the clear favorite to win, like a heavy favorite. But it's not as low as 1.10; the projected odds are -250, which is equivalent to 1.4 in decimal odds. If you want to check out the odds for the other teams, you can go ahead and visit the link below.

https://www.covers.com/basketball/olympic-mens-basketball-odds

Country   Odds
USA USA   -250

France France   +700
Germany Germany   +800
Australia Australia   +1,200
Spain Spain   +1,400
Slovenia Slovenia   +2,000

With that possible lineup, this odd might be a good catch for those early bettors, though we don't know if this will be finalized
or there are still negotiations and changes in terms of availability of those stars that mentioned.

Though for sure, there are already gamblers who took this one and already place their future bet for this possible Olympic gold medalist.

Let's wait and see if what will be the final lineup, if all those mentioned names will be available and if they will commit to play for team U.S
353  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Casimero vs Oguni - October 12 on: October 06, 2023, 05:44:57 PM

Ohh that's a good odds casimero is the favorite here, but without the doubt he has the momentum right now. But hoping it will long last and win in this fight because it's almost come 7, days in countdown cssimero once again in the ring fighting aiming for the win in order to face that monster fighter in  Japan Inoue which is once it will happen it will be one of  the biggest fight in boxing . Cause  we all know how the carisma when we are watching the battles if champion .

You know, we can probably score better odds once the whole market's in on it. I'm thinking about going for a knockout here, just like what Casimero must be thinking. He's got to secure that win and not leave it up to the judges. I'm guessing the odds for a KO victory are around 1.80 to 1.90, but either way, it's a lot better than the 1.50 odds.




If you are aiming for bigger odd KO win, for sure will be much better, but for some gambler ML with 1.50 odd is already good enough.

Though if Casimero is aiming for another big fight to come, he needs to win this fight with an attracting KO, it will hype his name and will create social media conversation,

Chances that fans will again call for his chance to face Inoue. This fight will take place inside Inoue's crowd and who knows, maybe if Casimero will show some exciting skills, might be possible that it will be boosted by the Japanese fans to call for Inoue's next fight.

It looks like the Philadelphia 76ers have finally caved to Harden’s pressure and will be shipping him to the Clippers. The Clippers are said to be doing everything in their power to make it happen. After all the offseason drama it seems like Harden is going to end up getting what he wants, while Dame didn’t get the trade he wanted, but might get himself a ring.

The latest rumor I've seen is that the Clippers offered the 76ers an unprotected first-round pick and a swap pick. But the 76ers want more and seem to be interested in Terance Mann. So, I think if the Clippers offer Mann and at least one first-round draft pick, the 76ers will probably take it and send Harden to LA. It's time for this drama to end.

I'm afraid this drama won't end this season, because all the pressure is with the Sixers right now, the Clippers can simply decline what the Sixers are demanding. So it's either they will accept what the Clippers offered or keep Harden until mid season and try another deal.
The Heat has been reportedly not interested in a James Harden trade either. They were only interested with Dame.
I don't know which other team is interested in a trade to acquire James Harden, I can't take of any except the Heat and the Clippers, but then again the Heat is out of the picture already.
There could be other teams that might interested on James Harden, but he could be used as a trade bait as well. So this could really create a lot of messed in the NBA, so we will see who's team are going to make a move or maybe the Clippers will have to add another players in the trade that will make it more interesting to go and give the signal for a trade. But the question is, if the Clippers is willing to include not just Mann in the trade, but other members as well and then their future draft picks. That's already huge and attractive package already and for sure the Sixers might bite on that one.

Same opinion here, if Sixers will ask for more aside from Mann and a future pick, I think Clippers will not bite that unless they are willing
to risk their future.

Having all veteran stars seems a duplicate setup with Lakers way back when they've got Melo, Russ and Howard, something that
will not really go to help PG and Kawhi in my opinion.

But, we never know what fate will be for Harden, if Clippers or another team who's willing to acquire him will manifest.

356  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best Practices for Staying Safe When Gambling on: October 05, 2023, 11:18:38 AM
So avoiding problems in online casino is first, to choose a reputable and trusted casino as you have said, and secondly, don't play against the terms and conditions of the casino.
Yes, that's right. Casinos that have a reputation will not ruin their good name just for a small amount of money. Usually they will solve the problems of each user, in contrast to small and relatively new casinos, they will complicate any user problems, both from KYC and others, so play at Small and new casinos are not recommended to use big money unless you want to test it with smaller money.

The reputation of the casino is very important for us to look for safety because without it of course the money we deposit could be lost at any time, so my advice is also to use this forum to look for a casino that has a high reputation and as a gambler never miss the rules and requirements there because of that very important, apart from that, communicate frequently with support services to enable us to gamble safely without any problems.

Reputation serves as a voucher for each casinos if they already established that name, they will not let it ruined for something that they
can work out and resolved.

I like your point which reputable casino, they will use everything that they know to protect their business, if the problem is not directly an attempt
to scam the site and if the problem is workable, consider that the team behind will go and will help you to solve the issue.
357  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Credit card gambling fuels gambling addiction on: October 05, 2023, 11:09:04 AM
Since a gambler gets short-term credit through a credit card, they choose this route to fund in gambling. When money is lost in gambling, gamblers want to get the gambling money with whatever interest rate will be. If gambling is carried out with credit card debt without any hesitation, then at some point the debt burden will increase and a gambler will be unable to pay it. As a result, he will be in disaster as well as in the financial system of that country. If a gambler gambles on borrowed money it is not a problem but if he borrows from a bank loan or credit card it becomes a big problem.
The debt burden will increase if they don't remember how much money they have used for gambling. And if they continue gambling without clear limits, they will have to pay a lot of money at the end of the month when their credit card bill comes. That will cause difficulties or problems for them, especially for those who don't have a salary or income that can be used to pay their credit card debt. That is why we don't need a credit card to gamble because we have a loan on the credit card and will have difficulty paying the credit card bill.

Yup, with credit cards we might risk larger amount of money, knowing that we can continue as long as we are not yet on our limits,
but without good control surely, you'll find yourself losing to extent that you will exceed to your limits.

And same with your statement, the chance that you'll be having a hard time paying it back especially if you are not really
ready with overspending your credit limits and you don't have the expected income to cover the monthly charges.

Better to play using your cash or amount that you can let go, spare money that intended to please your entertainment.

Yes, I think the Warriors can adjust without Draymond in the early part of the next season, they have recently acquired Dario Saric. So this is a big test for him to somewhat be in the position that Draymond used.

As for Kuminga, him and Andrew Wiggins should take part of the PF to SF position. Either can have a night wherein they are going to be the biggest contributor in Warriors offense. And Kuminga is very athletic indeed that's why the Warriors chooses to still be in team as he can improved a lot and not just like Poole who complains a lot and seems the be the fame gets into his head last season.

Draymond Green improves ball movement on the court, so not having him early in the season might not give them a good start as expected. The good news is that they have CP3, who is known for his playmaking; he can certainly fill the loss of Draymond. With new players who have helped improve their interior defense, I think the Warriors will be okay.

I also agree, Warriors will adjust and with CP3 who are known to be a good ball facilitator, we will be able to him calling the play
and execute whatever the design from coach Kerr.

Not having Draymond for the first few games will give Warriors that chance to mix players and find that good combinations that will help
them winning the game, too early to conclude if what will be the impact of not having Draymond.

Might be possible that it will lead them to create that good combinations and bring that competitiveness to everyone whoever is inside the court.

Tingin ko naman marami rin sigurong politician ang nag trade o investor pag dating sa crypto currency, hindi lang talaga siwalat o ipinaaalam kagaya nating mga normal lang na mamamayan, hindi natin kailangan ipaalam sa lahat na involve ka sa crypto, marahil malaki lang talaga ang impact kung mag gagaling yun sa isang politician. Tungkol kay Pacquiao naging involve lang naman sya pansamantala pero hindi na nag deep dive pa, bakit? Sa yaman ni Pacquiao tingin ko hindi na sya magiging interisado pang mag aral o alamin ng malalim yung tungkol sa crypto, dahil hindi rin naman basta basta ang crypto kahit gustohin pa ng kahit sino na mag involve pero hindi sya ganun kadali. Ang alam kong maraming involve sa crypto is yung mga sikat na artista.
Malabong mangyari yang sinasabi mo, ang mga politician at hindi mag aaksaya ng pera nila para mag trade o mag invest. Ang mga politiko ay mga segurista at puro pagpapayaman ang nasa isip. Kaya malabong pasukin nila ang crypto at gawin yang pag trade o pag invest. Siguro ang investment nila ay yung patuloy na umaangat gaya ng real estate at gold. Pero sa crypto, mukhang napakalabo.

Hindi malabo yan dahil alam naman natin na ang mga politiko ay may mga lihim na investments, tulad nga ng sabi mo ang focus nila ay magpayaman at hindi rin naman lingid sa kaalaman nila na profitable and crypto pero hindi lang nila ito inilalabas sa public dahil maaring magkaroon ng conflict or misconception sa maraming Pilipino.
Tulad ng maraming kilalang personalidad na involve sa crypto investment, hindi rin naman siguro pahuhuli ang mga politicians jan. Wala rin naman silang enough reason para ipublic ang personal investments nila. Malamang marami ring pulitiko ang gumaya or sabihin na nating nainspire kay Manny at kilala natin ang mga iyan, hindi yan sila magpapahuli kung saan may profitable opportunity.

Tingin ko din ganyan kasi alam naman natin na ang mga politiko kung saan may pera nandun ang mga radar nyan, hindi naman lingid sa kaalaman natin na biglang nag boom yung crypto nung mga nakaraan at malamang nakasagap din yung mga politiko patungkol dyan.

Pero syempre mas pipiliin nila na tumahimik at yung tipong walang makakaalam para tuloy tuloy lang yung pagpasok ng pera, bihira lang yung mga taong mag sasalita patungkol sa crypto lalo na nung mga time na nagsalita ang BIR patungkol sa paghabol ng tax sa mga crypto users.

Iwas pusoy dun sa mga merong investment at mga nakakaalam at sekreto lang yung mga investment nila.

Yes, Gambling addiction has strained a lot of relationships through financial instabilities emotional turmoil, social isolation, and family problems.
Any activity that you do that interferes with your relationship with your family or those closest to you is included in the category of addiction, so in fact it is not only gambling addiction that can damage relationships but also other addictions.
If you can still control yourself well then it will not be possible for gambling to damage your relationship, because everything is done with good control, when to play, how long to spend playing, including the money spent on gambling. However, if you talk about self-control, it's just a theory, but it can be done even though it's difficult.
Relationships fail when there is an abuse on a certain course of action. Regardless if it’s gambling or not, as long as you lost your self-control and discipline towards it, your relationship will always be put at risk. Most especially when it comes to gambling addiction, wherein the husband crosses his limits in gambling to the extent of spending even their life savings or selling their properties, then it’s expected that the spouse will develop hatred towards his husband and leave him because of that. When that happens, we can conclude that gambling addiction is certainly a big threat when it comes to marital relationships.

Most of the time, when a certain limits already being exceeded understanding is being breakout as well, I think if you still have that
self-control the chance still good.

But once you are out of control, things change up and the more you push yourself into this kind of situation, the more it will get worse, I guess
relationship is being tested as gambler needs to work out if how they value their partners.

If respect and value still have that weight, gambling problem can be solved or can be avoided, just for my personal take though.
