Coach Chot Reyes didn't even think of playing the entire roster, especially the young gunners and become comfortable because of PH's recent win in a big lead. And then, later on, he will say to the media that the loss is because some players didn't participate in the roster? What kind of reasoning is that.

I'm not mad. Just a bit of concern because it shows there's really a problem managing the Gilas squad. I should say, "politics".
Overconfidence has its downside and hope Coach Chot remembers that from now on, hoping Gilas will get the likes of Baldwin or Cone in the international series. It's not because of the roster tbh, they are indeed have the best lineup, they just don't think Indonesia wouldn't get them or they underestimate them I guess.

Yeah, I agree to this. They overestimated it, as I would say they are no match for Gilas, but overconfidence can be deadly. I think he is thinking that they could conserve energy if not playing others and could boost or give a greater chance to win in the next game. But regardless of what happened, Chot Reyes is still a good coach, it's just that he made some mistakes. I'm hoping that if he's the coach next season, he can make a comeback.

So many ways you can do that, you can start a signature campaign on this forum and try to make your presence known by doing some giveaways also to attract new players to your site.
If there is one thing that can be noticed here, it is to see if you can work as hard as you can, but the more you go here, the more your business will grow.  The village will be out of reach of the common man but here they are so good but they only want to see a few people here and they try to remember them at any cost and tremble from here
Everything will depend on how the casino can make promotions that make the casino more known to the people here. With this promotion, it is hoped that the casino can attract people to try to join and win some prizes from them. Giving giveaways through social media can also be a good tool to promote more people who will know about the casino. But indeed, everything takes time to become a popular casino and it also requires the hard work of all the teams in the casino.

You have a point because if you are releasing a local casino, you should promote it on a platform that the people or can gather a lot of people, like social media, because that is the most popular in that local country. You can't just promote it here because only a few know about this forum, but if this is global, this forum is really great and also social media marketing. Time is really power. You can't just attract a lot of people in a short period of time. You should take your time and make your own effort.

The main thing that I would advise you to devote enough time to is training. In my opinion, this aspect is extremely important and clearly requires preparation and work on the result.

This is really what most of us need and also add patience because you know whether you devote time to learning things, without patience, you ca last long and not be able to trade well. Trading is mostly about your emotions. If you know how to handle it, then that is good because some of us are really emotional when it comes to trading. That is why they lose because they take trades that they shouldn't and the strategy hasn't met yet. Knowledge is power, and trading losses teach you to take the time to understand what you did and why you lost that trade.

A bear market is not a place to whine and believe what the media says and people who are actually deliberately driving prices down with the bad news they bring. The bear market is actually an opportunity for us to take a lower position by following the direction of the bitcoin price. Many people are afraid of the bear market, beginners think that this is the end of cryptocurrencies but those who are savvy think this is where the potential is.

Yeah, I agree but it is not that simple to buy it because it is in a bear market. You should also be cautious and find the right timing if you want to buy at the bottom. I see a lot of people who are afraid of this type of market now, and most of them will take a break or just hold and forget for the time being, their bitcoin just to be stress free, which is a good strategy. For traders, anytime is an opportunity, and for holders who have some knowledge into it, now is the time to buy more.

For beginners, don't invest in new projects because if the new project is most likely a scam, they will despair and will not continue to join other projects, many stop joining projects because they often join projects after the scam is over, if I think it's okay to join the project new but they already know the characteristics of a scam or they have someone to guide them.

Your point is that it is risky because they will scam you, which is really true. I remember when all of the projects posted in this forum were legitimate and you could profit from them, but now most of them take months or even years to profit, or you will lose your money. do still recommend a newbie to invest, but only after thorough research of the project and also if their team and whitepaper are good. Investment is always risky, but you can lessen it by reading and learning.
3567  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction causing victim to scam his family on: May 21, 2022, 07:45:37 AM
The gambler in the article happens to play in a corrupt casino, the casino knows that he is betting huge and they want to bait him into coming back by giving him a lot of promotions and free bets since he is a compulsive gambler and an offer like this is hard to refuse, I don't think even if there are no promotions coming in, he will stop playing and will continue to scam his family.
Taking a vacation from gambling is not the right way to cure a compulsive gambler, he needs the guidance of a professional who will devise task and gives him medicine to stop his urge to play.

if he is quickly treated by a professional psychiatrist then it is ensured that he will not fall into a big loss that makes his family lose...

I've seen people addicted to gambling, drugs and women. they really made his life and family miserable. nothing can save them (addicts) unless they have a strong will to quit the thing that makes them addicted (even vacations won't be strong enough).

Nothing good will be earned if you are addicted to much on anythings so I think what's most effective way to cure addiction is to rehab those people who's sufferinf this. Although this will be hard for the affected person but for sure inside of that institution he will be taken car of mentally and physically for sure he will be a changed man after the healing process.

Yeah, I agree with this, but if the gambler can still manage his addiction, there is no need. As you can see in the story, I could say that he can first control his addiction because he really stopped playing. What triggers him is the emails. In addiction, even though you can really manage it well, if it triggers with something you can't stop it. That's happened to him and it is very sad that he swindled his family. This guy should go to rehab and also try to sue the website since they keep sending emails although he already closed his account.

I dont think we're gonna see anymore gains like people of the 2010s and 13s experienced. and even 2017...|

Will btc ever hit a million? Or hundred million?

no one knows for sure what will happen in the future, like what is happening with bitcoin today...

it has been discussed many times, that people in the past 11 years would never believe bitcoin will go to $10k but in fact it has passed even bitcoin broke through $60k. nothing is impossible with bitcoin in the future (even touching $1m/btc or more).
Yeah, this will hit later, not sooner because we will still be going ups and downs, but the only people who trust in bitcoin can benefit from it. As you can see in the recent drop of bitcoin, a lot of people lost interest in it because they are just thinking that bitcoin will keep rising, though it isn't. Now I am hoping if it hits a million, we are still alive or like we can still see it before we die, since this will really take a lot of years.

Well, I thought this question was really easy to answer, but I wrote this post for almost 20 minutes and kept deleting my sentences because I couldn't explain it! Lol. I would just answer it in simple terms: it makes you happy! That's all. It is like you have been commended by someone because of your writing or of what you have done. Mostly, I am not one of those posters here that gets a merit every day, so it is really rare. That is why the happiness it could bring me is like my parents buying me an ice cream when I was a child, but after I finish it, I will forget the happiness and want/eager to get more!
3570  Economy / Economics / Re: A decision to make on: May 20, 2022, 12:42:38 PM
Would you rather buy a house to live in or rent an apartment to invest in bitcoin  Since bitcoin is experiencing bear what decision will you take make use of the season or let it pass.

Houses and lots are eventually going to be more expensive as years passed. So, I guess that's kinda hard decision to make. However, If you're not settled with a family yet and still single then I guess you have a higher risk appetite for renting out an apartment and investment the rest to Bitcoin than those people who is married and have children, because the best investment you get for your family is a comfortable house.

Obviously it will be different for sure when we are married or not because when we haven't it seems we tend to be more daring in taking risks because we only think about ourselves,
indeed maybe this is a good time for us to take advantage of investing in Bitcoin,
it's not an easy thing to decide like that but to be wise it's better to adjust the priorities first

You should put 50% in bitcoin and the other half should be about the apartment or houses. As others say, don't put all the eggs in one basket, so it is better to spread them. This is also what I will do if I ever have enough money to invest in some land. This is just my suggestion. You really need to do your highest priority first, as you said, because that is the reason to choose what you will be investing in. Bitcoin is really risky, but it could make you a millionaire if ever the price goes to the moon.

It's been almost 4 years since I moved to the city because of work, in the city of course the cost of living is very high, now I'm having financial difficulties because the business I created was affected by the pandemic and made me have to be active to look for alternative income, currently I rent out several houses on a daily basis to years and make me able to be helped.

Pandemic has caused a lot of damages to the world economy that is making many countries to experience what they have never experience before in their economy. The cost of living is too high for citizens to cope with their families, because inflation is spreading every day which is not encouraging people to live comfortable as before when the price of commodities was very low in the country. I think, many government are trying their possible best to eliminate inflation from the land, so that people can return back to deflation where people can smile again with the standard of good living in the land.

But, as a citizen of a third-world country, I can't help but feel that prices are still too high and that I'm struggling to buy our own food; even if I have a full-time job, it's only a minimum wage; how much more do the poor have to struggle to buy food? Though I could really see the effort of the government by like giving food and other incentives, this is a world problem because gas prices are too high. That is why prices of food and everything else are high also. I am also hoping that the price will drop soon or that the salary will increase so that people can cope with the prices.
3572  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can a new sportsbook gain trust? on: May 19, 2022, 02:20:52 PM
So I’m looking for thoughts on how to gain trust and reputation, because I know I would have doubts depositing money into a brand new sportsbook that’s just appeared out of thin air.

As per a saying trust is given not gained/earned and there is always a process on how people will trust you.
There is no other way to make people trust you except by showing yourself or your project is worth to trust by others.
You said you have been in the industry for 10 years, it is not a short period of time for anyone to understand how "trust/reputation" works.
As long as you serve your players well, reputation/trust will come later.



It should be gained also, because it was given by the user. I think those words are related to it because people will give trust to sportsbooks if they are doing it well, such as fast deposit and withdrawing. It is hassle free. Is it also obtained as a result of the majority of user feedback? It still perplexed me, but whatever it is, the simplest way to gain is to simply be honest, hassle-free, and the website should be user-friendly, and you should also listen to and act on what the users throw at you.

...Or can be mentally destroyed because of crypto. Crypto is not your quick rich scheme and people still don't get that even with the volatility of the price. Some even make a bad decision such as quitting their job for crypto trading full time or even loaning loads of cash just to invest it all in crypto.
People are really desperate, eh?

Yeah, a lot of my friends quit their jobs to do trading. Most of them are really earning profit on a monthly basis, but sometimes they lose, but this is better, as they say, than those 8am to 5pm on their cycle. When they trade, they only allocate a few hours to it and it is really fun to read news and learn things. They have more time for themselves and their families. But still, this is a risky thing to do, but they took the risk. As for myself, I am scared to go full time trading, but if I am ready sooner, I will try

I just want to share that one of my neighbors and close friends of mine just got silver today. She is Christine Organiza for the Full Marathon (42km). I know that she can get the gold but got cramps when there was only 600m left, but still congratulations on this. In previous sea games, the Philippines only received a few gold medals, but in the last few sea games, we have received many.
3575  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A time people have been waiting for bitcoin to drop on: May 18, 2022, 04:28:12 PM
Today we have another chance to buy very low yet people still waiting for the price to drop even more lower.
I want to know when is the best time to buy or waiting more dip to buy and what if the price turns back to bull?
What do we do?
You know how human can be that pathetic, I'm not saying that all are but most who do love speculating are. People are calling to go lower but when the time it's favorable for some to buy, they fret. People love to buy when they think it's favorable for the market but they seem to caught up in the FOMO phase and instead of selling the top they tend to buy during the top. When the price is in dismay, try to DCA.
When bitcoin is dip and some people still want it to go dip more, I don't know if i should call that greed. This set of people when bitcoin goes dip a little bit they feel so panic as if it will remain dip forever. A real botcoiner sees any time to be the best time to buy bitcoin and when bitcoin goes dip it a good opportunities for Real bitcoiners to buy more.

I noticed more people getting panicked when the BTC is on a dip than those who want it to drop more. Because, as you can see, on red days, a lot of newbies are complaining about crypto and bitcoin, but on green days, they are always saying good things and thinking of lambo. It is greed, but imagine if the price dropped further and you could get it at a low price and then it suddenly goes up; that is a lot of profit, and it is no longer greed unless you are in trading and want to earn a lot in one go.
3576  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are we just going around in circles? on: May 18, 2022, 01:12:58 PM
This is what happens in the crypto world, every day there must be people who want to create a new project then this is not a round but this is a development that continues to happen all the time and old projects that are not able to compete will continue to be forgotten by investors and we have seen ICO and IEO projects that are currently dead and there is nothing new they can create.

Yeah, I do agree mostly or some of those old coins can't keep up. I remember those old coins before that they were really on top, but after 2 years they got down and there was no development on it and the team also had their own coin or created another project. Yes, it is because of the innovation and some of the team members are not content with their project, which is why they create another one. It is more difficult to maintain the project than to make a new coin of it. What is really in circles is that those who rug pull some coins do it in cycle to scam people.
3577  Economy / Gambling / Re: Casino Game on: May 18, 2022, 07:01:09 AM
It is also interesting how many players refuse to play in large well-known casinos when KYC verification is required from them. And earlier, when a player was registered, for example, until 2016, this was not required of him. I think about 20-30% of all players who are faced with such a situation refuse the services of such a casino?
Nowadays KYC means nothing. Everyone of us leaves hundreds of the traces everyday - social media, credit card purchases, street cams photos, etc. If someone serious need to find your money - he can do it without KYC. I think that the most of us have not so big volumes of cryptocurrencies to control us. Casinos without KYC just gives a deceptive sense of security. So i think players refuse to play, wait a bit and return back. The most part of them.
Yeah but still it is better to not ask or send KYC just for gambling site so at least this lessen the opportunity of being target or victims .

and also why need to seek for KYC if the gamblers is playing here in crypto in which majority wanted to keep them private ,

You have a point, but most of the casinos right now require this and I think only a few people that want to be anonymous online. As you can see, most of the social media already have our data and also our privacy already ignored. Now what really the problem with KYC is that if our identity was sold to other people and they did something not good, but if the casino is already reputable, then I think it is still okay with it as long as they hold it and don't leak it to others.
3578  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC Holding or Using ? on: May 17, 2022, 04:07:56 PM
Well, this question has been asked multiple times and my answer is still the same. This still depends on your preferences because most of us like to hold it and some of us like to spend it, but for me, I prefer holding it. It still depends on the situation, because mostly I need money to spend on things or food for my family. That is why I usually spend it, but if ever I don't need it, I hold it like a savings in my bank account and will get it sooner if I need that money. 
3579  Economy / Gambling / Re: Gambling Brand Name or Site Functionality? Or Both? on: May 17, 2022, 01:51:35 PM

What do you mean by brand name?...


The right phrase would have been "Gambling Domain Name" vs Site Functionality.

Well, if it is about domains, you just only spend a little amount on a domain that you like, but the problem is if it is already taken, meaning you can't have it now. But still, domain names are really important because this is where people will easily recognize and remember it. Having invested in it is great. But the main thing that you should be working on is the site functionality because it can still work if you have a bad domain, but with site functionality, that is where the gamblers will be getting back into your website to play.
3580  Economy / Economics / Re: Standard of living on: May 17, 2022, 08:05:34 AM


This is really the scariest thing. This will lead to the country's bankruptcy. The people of that country really struggle, and the price of food, etc., is really high. I am hoping that this will not lead to your country. In our country, the election just finished on the 9th of May, and I am hoping that the newly elected president will manage the country well the same as the current president, but I am confident he will. Corrupt police and leaders are really the problem within the country. I am hoping that this will be solved sooner rather than later, but I don't know how.
I always admire the developed countries and how they have maintained their standard of living.
I wish my country comes up to the same level where food, shelter and basic necessity are given free of cost. Hopefully one day!

Well, I think I only noticed this mostly in 1st world countries or the most wealthy ones. I do see a lot of people or non-government organizations that are conducting or giving free food twice a week. For example, in the UK, they have foodbanks that those homeless people or in need of food can get from those for free, which in third world countries I don't really see a lot of. The government will only give you food if something happens in your place, like heavy storms, etc.
