A statue in front of the Staples Center, I think is close to happening compared to the NBA logo or changing the stadium name. It's a great tribute. Shaq already has one.

Also mentioned by the above post, every year, we will now hear Kobe's name at the All-Star MVP trophy announcement. If I'm not mistaken, this is the first time that the award was followed to an NBA player so that's already a big honor to Kobe as renaming it wasn't considered before.

Actually, beginners to intermediate levels can still be avoided, only if the gambler themselves allows that to happen. That's why never blame gambling for this addiction but how the person is dealing with it.

Those on critical or severe level aren't only because of gambling why they turned out like that. They are having difficulty in the real world and facing personal problems that's why it contributes to their desire of doing gambling thinking it's the only way to solve those especially the financial part. They think they don't have other choices that's why even they don't want to gamble, they will deal with it.

You just think that these active gamblers always manage profits because they are always in chat but in reality, most of them lose in their respective sessions and just stay active in the chatbox to somehow calm the situation or end their bad streak. Once they think it's over, they will come back again for another round and so on.

These gamblers already gained a good experience doing gambling for a long-time that's why managing their respective funds is the thing now that they can handle properly without too much difficulty. The reason why they remain active in the long-run of playing.

OP, you are comparing being a gambler in life and gambling with the use of money here which actually does have a big difference and I don't think we need to extend discussions about this.

For much simple explanation, those people that sometimes apply the idea of gambling against the odds in life is a thing that they can't avoid. They really need to do it to pass and survived it. In the usual gambling with real money, this can control, avoid or totally ignored.

A risk in gambling is different from the risks we are facing in our life. That shouldn't be compared.

Maybe we should change a bit our own views towards bitcoin as a form of investment.

Even how a knowledgeable person we are regarding crypto, it's a form of investment wherein there is no fixed profit. Meaning you will gain once you sold on a certain price then make another buy and so on. Buy low sell high is a simple term but difficult to do by others.

The investment that our Kabayans here should work on is a sure profit at a given period of time. An investment that will meet other people's needs and demands. If we were able to grow such investment, it's no worries now to put money on crypto as even on the bearish market, we aren't forced to convert our Bitcoin to spend on others as we have another foundation of our income. In that way, our Bitcoin is just idling at our wallets waiting for the dream price.

A few seasons left for The Blur and I hope he can snatch one title this season at any conference. I'm sure he is just waiting for another one before hanging his jersey. It is always a good time to announce retirement after a championship.

And want to see some changes in the All-Filipino champions list, I'm hoping SMB streak will now end lol. SMB companies dominating that list for more years which is no question as they have the best lineup in the league, SMB, Magnolia, Ginebra.

I hope TNT or ROS.

And Kyle Lowry, taking charges. Miss this action in All-Star game, physical and both teams are eyeing for a win.

Still can't move on how the recent All-Star game turned out. This is the effect of long-time no competitiveness on every All-Star game although when they changed the format to a draft pick, I see the competition slowly coming back.


Looking forward to a change too but we can't really deny the fact that these 3 players do have a large fan community that's why they always topped the votes. Team Steph will make a comeback I think next All-Star.

That 45 merits given on that translated thread by Polar91 shouldn't really be an issue if you think that really helps and save you in trouble. It's your account after all and you can give merits to anyone, whenever and whatever you want. Thanks to that user as he brings that topic to local.

As you said, you are in the point that you really need help and you always used your computer for your school works and other internet activity, you can ask assistance first to your classmates, friends and there are lots of sources already in the internet how to reformat PC as it was a common issue even back on the early days of internet. I also see you like a bit of a techy person too because of your entry here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5193860.msg52956146#msg52956146 . I'm amazed you did that idea so I think reformating PC just by reading tutorials on the internet will be an easy task for you. You are also good at creating threads here locally.

But here's my opinion, knowing Polar91, he is really used to translate threads to local so expect that he can make an average of 1-3 merits faster than those low ranks who are putting efforts to make a constructive post. Also, translated threads mean they aren't really the source of that information.

Our merit candidates and other kabayans are doing all their efforts to help other Pinoy to rank up so as much as possible, they want to spread their merits to different users who make a post that is constructive and can consider as objectively high-quality. Even they want to give a minimum of 3 merits per user, their Smerit is limited so they are budgeting it and will only give it to deserving ones and not just because they agree with the post.

As serjent05 said, you don't have to worry if:


And as finaleshot2016:

As far as the terms and OP also stated, yes the winnings from free spins can be withdrawn. Also stated in the site.

I just don't like the registration. It needs your Full name, Address, City, Country, Birthdate, which already violates why we are doing gambling in crypto. You can't just fill it with a fake identity since, in the end, they will ask for documents that should match the information.

I understand if it will just be asked in case of suspicious winnings. But for a regular user, I think there shouldn't be a requirement for that.

Thinking of a strategy to increase your winning chances against a house-edge game will just make you expect that it is always possible. Every roll is based on random hashes and running in a certain algorithm. You heard it right, "random".

There is no strategy to win always but set an amount where you think that's a good win for a day and just stop.

Remember that the longer you played, the more you are risking your funds.

I don't get it, why that kind of discussion should be involved here. Today's All-Star Game is a soft game, no defense, no offense. Pure fun, pure entertainment, pure enjoyment. No matter who wins doesn't matter. Players are allowed to do their own highlights since expect that it won't be contested nor got be defended. These players will just become serious if the game is nearing the end of the regulations (4th quarter).


You are talking about the Season MVP I guess. Why others got confused on the subject of the thread lol.


The odds are really tempting. There are lots of players too that I want to take a shot but right now I'm thinking of putting some on LeBron James or Russell Westbrook because of the high odds. Giannis is a worth bet too but I want to risk my money for much higher odds to make it more thrilling.

If you want to read some user's experience, you can look up at some discussions and reviews on their ANN thread:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1676313.0

Unfortunately, they were tagged by some DTs here with a negative feedback way back 2017 which is likely unresolved until now. Refer here:

3 days before the official launch everyone will have access so I think we shouldn't have to bother joining the pre-launch test.

If you still want to do it, you will only have less than 48hours to provide a review, if necessary.


Is the bonus limited only to the 50 users who joined the pre-launch or it will also be available for new users?

If yes, good. If no, I suggest it as it's usual to conduct promotions and event bonuses for newly open sites.

What do you mean by a better team? Both teams are better. It's just a matter of minute distribution and points focusing as the game will be on entertainment purposes while at the same time will have a Kobe tribute.

I'm rooting for Doncic but I see his time will be limited.

Good time to pick LeBron James. The odds are tempting. -_-

Let's cover some off-topic discussions here with this recent news:

Manny Pacquiao signs with Conor McGregor’s management firm

There is no direct connection to the fight but this deal brings both fighters much closer. Making it easy to form a negotiation about the said fight.

But I agree with UFC big boss Dana White here that McGregor should deal first on the octagon on his next match rather than push for the Pacquiao fight. I like to see McGregor too on the octagon as he is now on momentum after his last win. His next match should be a rematch against Khabib and that's what I'm waiting for. Although Khabib should win first on his upcoming in April to increase the chances of having a rematch with McGregor.

Disagree. RPG games aren't appropriate with P2P betting. What will they compete for on those games? F2P always has disadvantages at any RPG game again those players who are putting money to improve their account.

The games appropriate for P2P betting are strategy-based games like chess, card games, board games. For the usual online games, it should have the same gameplay like Clash of Clans, Clash Royale, Car Racing, sports games such as NBA, billiard games, first shooting games such as Counter-Strike, ROS, COD and any deathmatch form of games. Not that they will copy exactly these games but the game system should be like that.

I can't recognize some of the players. And by the video title looks like they mostly only used those new players on both respective teams. Who are these new players? Only rookies? Although, at the article content shared by you above, it was Terrence Romeo who leads the SMB on that tune-up game.

Hope there are lots of tune-up games to be followed. Sad but true that rookies, even how good are they at college leagues, only receiving limited minutes on their first year. The next couple of conferences, most of them will mostly become a bench warmer because of the import's presence.

Do you really think people will put extra money just to increase their chances in the last minute? That's a bad idea and all I can see here is you want to increase the commission you will get. That will destroy the game.

The rules should have a deadline for at least 3 to 4 days before the timestamp. No bets will be accepted after that period.

It's a quick profit to you and all you need to do is to set up the site and fix the whole system.

He improved mate. It is not noticeable though since it doesn't create a big sound compare to what Japeth did. Slaughter is also prone to injury. Maybe the reason why he became inconsistent. Although it is really noticeable that he became slower now.

I think Ginebra fans should just move on to this. They are used to see and watch Ginebra with Slaughter getting limited minutes. There is no difference at all if he will still play or not. I didn't even think that just because Fajardo will be out of the next conference, Slaughter will be the next monster at the inside.

Do people really think the absence of Capela is the reason why Rockets lose? They are only downed by 1 and almost a win if there's no buzzer-beater happened. Let's give credit to both teams. They are doing good. There is no reason why the other team won and lost. That buzzer-beater is also contested. No question about the defense.

And you guys forget that Houston Rockets won against the Utah Jazz just last Jan. 27 @ 126 - 117.

No Capela, No Harden, No Westbrook against the same Utah Jazz lineup that played last night but still they won.
