Having positive reviews are my main criteria but what about if the site is new? Aside from if they were able to prove that they are licensed and can be trustworthy, there are the specific feature that I want to see that I honestly don't know what exactly is that. It means if I found something catchy on that site, I will definitely try and test it.

For example,

Crazy fast deposit and withdraw as claimed by other users.
I saw a wagering requirement that somehow easy to achieve, I will test it.
I saw a gambling game that has interesting gameplay, I will test it.
I know the overall gameplay of a certain game so I will test and see if my knowledge will be my advantage.

and many more.

Guys, in moments such this we are living, with a crisis just ahead of all of us, do you stop gambling?

In my case I have to admit that I will stop for a while.
When I see some crisis or a decrease of my salary (I have my own business), I immediately cut some stuff and gamble are one of the first I stop, like going out and trips too

So, what's your opinion?

If this happens to me, I don't want to increase more the risks of losing money so definitely I will minimize my gambling activity. And overall, that should be the common and basic approach of a person that still knows what the best thing to do in a situation like that.

But in general, people have different situations or statuses of how worst their financial crisis is. Those people really need a miracle and will think of a way that can earn money within a short time. Even these people know that gambling is risky, they will still consider taking it because they have no other choice. That problem is really not a thing that can just be handled easily.

With the -2.5 only, that's pretty attractive and I am sure a lot of bettors fall to the trap.

I also thought that Clippers will pull this one. LeBron is shooting poorly during the first half and his teammates aren't also performing well. After halftime, Lakers now made a boost. Impressive stats as 3 players from both teams managed to score over 20+ points.

Lakers recently beat the current top team in the East avoiding a season sweep. And now, they beat the 2nd best team in the West for the first time this season. I know this is a season game but if you were able to watch these 2 games, you can see that both teams are playing seriously like its playoffs.
3824  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: COVID-19 and its effect in Gambling World on: March 08, 2020, 10:16:57 PM
But then think of it. Casino is a common and usual place where people do often make contact not only by oral communication but also with touching bank notes, casino coins, and even dices and other things used in betting. Therefore, there is a huge chance that COVID-19 would drastically decrease the physical gambling and do somehow can change gamblers' physical gambling onto digital one. And with that, it can somehow increase the community of overall cryptocurrency.

I think that will not stop people from going in casinos especially those rich gamblers. Didn't you know that in some casinos, there are rich gamblers that hired a representative to play for them?

The only thing that can stop them completely is if the casinos themselves will shut down their operations or the area are now in the critical level of the virus outbreak.

About online gambling, I doubt they will think of using crypto just because of the virus as an alternative since they can go to the physical casinos. Since they used to play in casinos, they are transacting with their bank accounts. In online casinos with a fiat payment method, it's just a one-click to deposit money from a bank account to an online casino. The convenience is still there even with the virus outbreak so nothing will change.

I have noticed that people especially in social media, consider SMB's win as a big deal just because they won without JuneMar. I don't see how it became special. SMB can still match with other teams even with no Kraken on their lineup and they are still a contender.

Tautuaa will not earn the league's Most Improved Player if he isn't capable of this position. His strength is already recognized even before his PBA career and that's the reason why he became the top pick last 2015 draft. In SMB, he's now receiving lots of playing time in absence of JuneMar. That's how complete the SMB team is both starting and bench squad.
3826  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction threads on: March 08, 2020, 09:35:26 PM
Does the gambling discussion here about gambling addiction help you reducing your gambling activities or helps you to think that you need to change?

No, since I'm already a gambler even before this forum was created. I already experience painful losses, hard time, regrets, inability to think properly and other negative effects that gambling can bring to a person.

That kind of experience now becomes my foundation for what I am now. Instead of totally stopping my gambling activity which I don't really like, I've begun to think, what's wrong on the process and work on that. Still, there are losses (that are really unavoidable) but what matters now is, I can now properly managed my bankroll to lasts in the long-run of playing.
3827  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ways to recover from being addicted in gambling. on: March 08, 2020, 09:12:02 PM
I want to help those people who really abused by the gambling, let me list down all possible solution that they may use to recover from being addicted in gambling.

I understand that you want to offer help and advice but unfortunately, those people who already become addicted to gambling will not read this type of thread or visit a certain site about helping them how to recover.

They are too busy and focus on their agenda to earn money seriously in gambling even it already affects their daily life.

Sometimes only learning through the hard way and that's to experience by themselves the negative effect of doing gambling before someone will able to wake up on what's going on.

Curry made 3pt FG over 4, thoughts? He will be on minutes restriction but i could see him knock a few down.

I see it will be more of it. Coming back from an injury, no need to force penetrating inside. Play with the usual which is nailing from a 3 point area.

Around 30 minutes is the possible playing time for him. On that duration, 4 attempts should be made without a problem.

May I know on what sports betting site did you see that kind of side bet?
3829  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Age restriction in gambling on: March 04, 2020, 10:37:16 PM
Does this age restriction followed properly in these countries?

How will the casino know if a certain person is saying the truth about their age? Fake IDs can be created simply without doing hard work. Looks can also be deceiving as there are persons who look matured but still young at age.

I think this restriction isn't really strictly implemented after all. It's just to show their people that not all ages are free to play gambling. The one that I think the authorities are more focused on is tracking illegal gambling activities that aren't regulated.
3830  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Not Just for Online but also IRL Gambling on: March 04, 2020, 10:14:54 PM
Have you ever played on a game were it is totally a scam without realizing it? I just seen a facebook post in which there are several games that doesn't let you win even though how many times you try and you'll just feel like giving up then they will tell you that you won or let you win ... but without realizing, it was just a tactic/s to have you play until you burn your eyelids and money to that game.

This applies on both Gambling Online/IRL, So tell me have you ever seen one of these games and you'll just realize it after the game or watching other people play that certain game?


This is something I will not be involved in even I'm unable to realize that the whole game is a scam.

At the very beginning, if I saw these games do have few reviews or feedbacks, no way I will try those even they don't have scam issues before. Why should I risk my money on something if there are popular and trusted ones?

Gladly, you didn't mention that you see someone got scammed so I'm putting my hopes that no one really lured on that games.

3832  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: March 03, 2020, 06:38:45 AM
The Rockets are talented enough to play a small ball and still competitive that can beat any teams in the regular season. But playoffs has a different atmosphere. I have a strong feeling the Rockets will struggle to win a 7 game series if they face a team with a dominant big man like AD, Jokic, or Gobert.
Rockets' best defense is good offense. I mean, if they can consistently score with a high percentage fg. It wouldn't be hard for them to win a series.

As you said, playoffs have a different atmosphere, therefore, Rockets will be a different team too, which is expected. This team is used to be in the playoffs, including their players so the adjustment should not be that hard even they will play small for the first time.

Not rooting for the Rockets but I think whoever team they will face on the playoffs, they shouldn't take the small roster of Rockets as a disadvantage to this team. Rockets already played 15 games without Capela and Tucker act as their Center and they managed to win 11 games out of that. A good preparation and strategy test for the upcoming playoffs.
3833  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Know what games have the best odds. on: March 03, 2020, 05:52:12 AM
So for you to prevent being lost in the casino, you should observe the games that have the best odds, of course, there is a research about those chances to win in different games in the casino, some of the casino games are hard to win, and some are easy to win.

This is wrong thinking for me.

The one that you need to focus on here is the ability to control yourself when you win or lose. You are playing against the casino here, therefore, you can't avoid losing. There is no easy win like the one you believed.

You are talking about % here so picking the highest probability to win is not making sense when you play at the casino.
3834  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can you share at least one gambler who have become rich in gambling? on: March 03, 2020, 05:28:37 AM
Since we believe that there are people who become rich in gambling or they are making a living in gambling

Can you please share at least one person who made that, and please put some proof.

Let's put it this way, it's like earning a big salary with their works. In this case, gambling is their profession or work.

And I think you are asking too much since you also want to see some proofs on their claims? I mean, for what purpose? If you see someone claims that they become rich from gambling, do they really need to provide proof in public?

No need to bother if that's true or not as we can determine if those claims are true or just a made-up story.

So what's your opinion guys about Abueva's wife now ranting to call for her husband's return on the PBA.

For me, the penalty now served and enough. Give him now a chance to play. Abueva's behavior on the court is not acceptable and he is comfortable that he will just easily get away with that since there is no hard penalty. With a long duration of being penalized, I hope Abueva now becomes a much more responsible player once he comes back. Just look at his wife saying things about money meaning Calvin should love his work. They need money. They need PBA.

Maybe not in the upcoming conference but at least I hope to see him this season.
3837  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: February 27, 2020, 09:49:17 PM
They've got a good position coming to the next round but without Simon and Embiid, it will be difficult for this team to handle whoever they've going to face without there Stars. Though the chance of getting back much quicker is no longer impossible as there's already advance treatment. It's just need for both stars to have a good rest and proper medications.

Since it's "EAST", it's now safe to assume they will be in playoffs and still safe for now that they won't be facing the 1st or 2nd on the playoffs on the first round.

23 games left and the remaining players should just do everything to win as much as possible.

As long as the injury isn't that major or results are turned out good, they have lots of time to rest and recover. Playoffs start in April 2020.
3838  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Correction ba ulit tayo? dahil ba ito sa stock market? o dahil ba ito sa Virus? on: February 27, 2020, 09:30:22 PM
This is just a normal day in Bitcoin.  They "dumped" it, that's it. We just have to be used to this.

Actually we can do some self-research about some of the possible events why the price turned like that and you can't see about being related to the virus nor stock market. People are just expecting that when there's a big increase, it should be continuous.

I like how the price is moving. It erased speculations that once Bitcoin passes a certain level, we can now see a better movement several days after.
3839  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Post a gambling site by: Newbie. on: February 27, 2020, 09:16:14 PM

We don't even know where those sites came from then a newbie will come out of nowhere either, they found the site as interested so they will post a thread here or they were asking the community if the site was legit but either way, we know it's a promotion to create an awareness. But at least even at small percentage, I know there are still honest questions of those.

But the problem is they dissapeared right away after creating threads that now increase the chances that they are just shilling it here.

And not just the site but some of them will post a gambling related issues or questions. I think there are some threads before about asking a general or basic question then they will not come back again to check answers.
3840  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to get lucky ;) on: February 27, 2020, 09:04:44 PM
Can these steps make you lucky?!!To win the lottery you must get lucky first of all.
Do you have a way to make you lucky most of the time?

None of these will increase people's luck. Do you really believe there are ways to increase luck?

If you want to win, then make a strategy and analysis that do you think will be effective especially at strategy-based or mind-based gambling games.

If you are playing on casinos or lottery, then there is no way you can increase your luck. Even if you owned the 80 to 90% of the lottery ticket, still not an assurance that you will be lucky to hit the jackpot.
