Sometimes it does, but most of the time it won't. But like you, I bet that if I was tired of recovering all of my losses slowly, it would be really exhausting if you recovered them one by one. But betting all-in is really risky, especially if you are on a losing streak. Anxiety will creep on you, and if you ever bet all-in and lose it, it is really heartbreaking.
But for me, I really don't like betting all in because it is risky. I might do it slowly rather than losing it one try. Just don't let your emotions take over. If you are tired and exhausted, maybe just try to rest your mind a bit. Then, after that, try again to gamble and win some.

With 3 games remaining this season, in order for the Lakers to get at least the 8th seed, they must win those 3 remaining games, and either of the three, the Kings, Pelicans, or Suns, need to lose twice so the Lakers would secure the 8th seed. Lakers' remaining games are GSW, MEM, and NOP. Lakers arguably can win these 3 games. While those three teams have these games left,.
Suns: LAC, LAC, SAC, MIN
Sac: OKC, NOP, PHX, POR
Pelicans: POR, SAC, GSW, LAL
Looking at this, all three teams can possibly have a record of 2-2 to end this season, and with that, it can really help the Lakers a lot to go up in the standings. Let's just hope the Lakers do their part and win those three games they have.
Does it really matter where the Lakers finish in the standings right now? I mean, if we assume that the Leakers will have no problems with their play-in tournament opponents, then their first-round playoff opponents will be either the Wolves or the Nuggets. In other words, the first round of the playoffs will be very difficult for the Lakers regardless of whether they finish the season in 9th or 8th, 7th spot in the standings. It definitely makes a difference. 7th and 9th place is a huge difference. 9th you have to play 2 one and done games with the second one being on the road. 7th place you get a home game and if you lose you get another home game to still get in. It all leads to the same road in either one of the top teams as a road series but to get there it makes a difference. Yes, you are right. They might be the same because they are both in the play-in, but placing in the play-in is really an important part and should be prioritized by the team. 7th and 8th is the ideal spot since they can play two games; if they lose the game, then they can still play a game and fight for the 8th seed. While 9th seed and 10th seed are much harder since the pressure is on them since they can only play one game, if they lose then they are done for the season, and if they win they still need to win one more game to get the 8th seed. So, 7th and 8th seeds are the ideal spots for the Lakers, so they will have leverage in their play-in games, and the pressure is off. But the way they play against the warriors earlier, they lose the game. I don't know what their seeding will be. |

I think the Lakers purposely lost to Minnesota yesterday to give them the top seed in the West. It would be a bad start for any of the teams who will land in the 8th seed if they will play against the Denver. Both Warriors and the Lakers have not won against the Denver this season, so that means an early vacation for them LOL. Only the Kings stands a good chance against the Denver as they are 3-1 against the Denver. However, the playoffs has a different atmosphere and intensity, that doesn't mean the Kings can get an easy W against the defending champs. Pelicans on the other end is 1-2 against the Denver, so again, It's not gonna be a good start for them if they land in any spot in 7th or 8th seed if they will play against the Nuggets.
What if with what they did the Lakers will end up at 7? I mean they would still have to face the Nuggets at that standing, and if they want a top 8, they need to beat the Warriors which is also another problem as that will be a do or die game. I think they really don't do that purposely, as much as possible gaining the top 6 will give them assurance that they'll be in the playoffs, so every game matters to them. I guess like what LeBron said one game at the time, they just need to keep playing and aiming to reach the playoff no matter what, that loss may give the Wolves the top spot but not becuase Lakers is avoiding anything it just happened that Wolves do their usual setup and take the game agains them, still plenty of games to focus and try to win to keep the spot open and no matter what or no matter who will the opponents they need to win if they want to take the title nothing else but to accomplish their goals. We also have to respect the Timberwolves because they are so improve this season., taking the number 1 spot is not the first time for them, and just look what they are doing, without KAT things hasn't seemed to change. The Lakers have 3 remaining games, the Warriors, Grizzlies, and the Pelicans, if they could win all that the games they are gonna improve in ranking. Just a rank of 7 or 8 is already good enough for them as they won't be in a do or die situation. With 3 games remaining this season, in order for the Lakers to get at least the 8th seed, they must win those 3 remaining games, and either of the three, the Kings, Pelicans, or Suns, need to lose twice so the Lakers would secure the 8th seed.

I mean, I think it is just fine since he is just warning some of the gamblers that they might get addicted and might lose everything, so while some of the gamblers are addicted yet, he can save them and not be like him. But if you know yourself, you can just ignore it. If you are a disciplined gambler and you know how to handle all your finances and also your emotions, then you are fine. It is just good that someone is advising some of the gamblers because it might not be today, but maybe in the near future, who knows?
The people who advise others to stop gambling should just look at them like one of those people who are doing good deeds since they care for other people. Just focus on yourself and gamble when you want to gamble. But if things go wrong, maybe it is time to think a little bit about it.

I've been really thinking about this one lately, and I am very frustrated. I can win some for a day if I have the time, like a lot of time, maybe half a day, but you know you have things to do like go to work, go with your friends and loved ones, and of course for yourself too, like going out, watching movies, or maybe playing games. You don't want to give up those things just for gambling, right? And also, of course, when it is nighttime, you will become frustrated because you are not making any progress on your gambling funds, and you will be eager to win more and end up losing that night.
Thanks for the advice, I think I need to made some changes on this plan of mine to work.

I think we cannot really help the beginners to not get addicted to gambling. I mean, we can warn them a little, but if they still dive into the hole of gambling, then it is on them. They should experience it firsthand so that they will learn from their mistakes and be more careful next time (if they still want it). Let's just hope that they won't go bankrupt when they get addicted to gambling.
Regarding the gambling sites and casinos helping the players understand the risk of gambling and not get addicted, I think it is impossible. They can give some warnings but not help the players. I don't think so. If they help the players, then the number of players will decrease, resulting in less players and less profits for them.

I really don't believe in those kinds of "gambling experts," especially the ones that are saying that they have fixed matches for you and a guaranteed win, so you will win big. They will ask for payment first so you can enter the group chat where they will be putting their "fixed matches," and then you will bet on those. After a day, you will hope that a bet of yours will win, but it is the opposite, and they are not accountable if the fixed match is lost; they are not refunding the money you paid for them.
So next time, if you encounter those type of people it is better to leave them alone and do not interact with them.

With the Pelicans and Kings losing earlier, the Lakers can snatch the 8th seed tonight if they win against the Cavaliers. The Pelicans lose to the Spurs, and with that loss, the Pelicans' record is 45-332, 1 game behind the Kings and the Lakers. Kings, on the other hand, did manage to get close in the closing minutes, but still, the Celtics managed to win the game, 101-100. Those games for Pelicans and Kings are important since they are in the play-in spot, so every game should be a win since they are chasing the places. 7th and 8th seeds are much better seeds in the play-in since it will give you comfortability.
Speaking of the Lakers, they are now tied with the Kings with a record of 44-43. If they manage to win the game against the Cavs, they will be sitting in the 8th spot. Lakers and Cavs are both healthy, so we can see a great matchup today, and if the Lakers manage to win all the remaining games, they can be at the 7th or 6th seed at best.

Just funny though that in the beginning and if I still recall it correctly, some of us thinks that Wemby is just over hype rookie and we even put Chet above him for the rookie of the year as Chet is with a good team while Wemby's San Antonio is struggling.
But now we talk about his as DPOY which he is still a huge underdog against his country man @12.00, as compare to Gobert @1.02.
I guess we've seen him enough to say that he is no longer overrated as he has proved his skills already.
Maybe it has help him to play like he is expected to, the criticism he received made him better and now we are seeing the real beast in him. He is truly and Alien with a skills of an exceptional big man. he is still young, a lot of improvement he can do for himself and for his team, and as long as he keep himself healthy, the Spurs will likely be back to the playoffs again. Odds now for DPOY, Gobert is still at the top, Wemby is next but not close. https://www.covers.com/nba/nba-defensive-player-of-the-year-oddsI'm surprised to see Anthony Davis has fallen to number four on that list. He was an early favorite to win DPOY after a great start defensively and I thought he was keeping it going. He's even played in most of the games this season helping him shed the Street Clothes nickname. I might have to take another look at the stats because I thought Anthony Davis was going to have his year, but now it seems that Gobert is going to win it again... Not saying he doesn't deserve to win every year and his team is doing great, but I hoped we'd see a new name this year. I thought he was going to be the DPOY too; some of the nba players are saying it too, like Bam, who said that Anthony Davis is the best defensive player at the league. But is Gobert winning again? I don't really know too; people do have voter's fatigue in MVP but not in DPOY. If he wins it, then congratulations to him; it will be his fourth time winning this award. I think the team records can affect the odds in this award; looking at the TWolves from a first-round exit from last season to a 3rd seed this season is great. But if AD wins it, he deserves it too; he is the Lakers' defense this season, and he has been healthy for them, giving it all out on the defensive side every game. |

When doing a transaction, it is really a must to double check everything. Whether it is a bank transaction or a crypto transaction, whatever it is, double check it. Especially in crypto, where it is a p2p transaction, it is direct, so if one of the parties is wrong about their address, then it is gone; your funds are out of nowhere, and you can never get them back. Good thing for the OP; he used a casino address, so he can reach out to the casino itself to fix and retrieve the funds he just loaned. Casino can be at fault here too since they updated the wallet. Maybe next time, you should try to use your own personal wallet so you won't encounter this kind of problem. Yes, it is a hassle since you will transfer the funds from your wallet to the casino address, but still, at least your funds are safe and you know that they will be sent safely.

NBA fanatics we have a new poll for the coach of the year award. Only 2 voted so far. I voted for the young Mark Daigneault. No one expected the Thunder to come on top this season. Not even in the top 5. And Mark is coaching a very young line-up including a rookie. His starter lead by a 25 year-old Shai and the others are 21 and 22? Mark definitely deserved it even if OKC drops to number 3 in the west because Denver is expected while Minnesota has 3 superstars. And in the east? Boston is star-studded while the Bucks also added the veteran superstar Damian Lillard.
Same here, he turned the young OKC like a championship team. They were at number 1 but now at 3 but the season is not yet over. Regardless on what rank they'll finished, it's very evident that the OKC has showed some consistency and have beat a lot of great teams. SGA has been having some injury problem that's why they dropped, but even without their main man, they still win games which showed how good he is as a coach. This young OKC team might be the dark horse in the playoffs, and I don't see them getting an early exit like a first round exit. I don't think Oklahoma can be considered a championship team since it is just their beginning and they haven't even entered the playoffs with this core. A formidable team—yes, we can say that—a championship? I don't really know. Yes, they are having a great season, which is a good beginning for them since everyone is waiting for this to come since they traded all of their superstars and gained a lot of round picks. Playoffs are a different environment; players with experience are more likely to win in the playoffs. That's why veteran presence is needed in these kinds of games. Just look at the Memphis Grizzlies and Kings last year; they got beaten by the Lakers and the Warriors, a team that possesses a lot of playoff experience. But let's see if this year's playoff will be a different story. Can we see the Timberwolves and Thunder make it past the first round? |

It really depends on how an individual will view the claw machine. It can be viewed as gambling since you are risking your money. If money is involved and players are playing for the prize, especially if they are spending a lot, then it can be interpreted as gambling since some of the claw machines are influenced by chance. Another thing we can consider is that if the grip of the claw in the machine is randomized every time you try, it can be considered gambling since there are chances involved. On the other hand, it cannot be considered gambling since players are using a joystick or a controller to control the claw. With that, players are using their skill to get the prize rather than luck or chance, which are the key factors of gambling like slots and lottery.
Gambling or not, the more important thing is that the player is having fun!

  As you are gambling responsibly, also use the money won responsibly. I won 328,000 from Sportybet. It was a running game that finished 3 days ago and I decided to use the money wisely. I had a small television in my living room so I bought a Smart TV for 307,000 I am so happy seeing this in my living room. As you are gambling, make sure to use the money won to do something that you will be proud of and happy about. You can invest some in Bitcoin, buy properties, etc. Do not use all the money back to gamble, that's not wise. Just wanted to drop my achievement from gambling responsibly here. Below is the Image of the TV installed   That's great! Congratulations to you for winning in gambling. That is nice that you always take profits when winning; don't roll it to gambling if you win some money. Maybe some of them, but not all the money you won. Treat yourself always. The more you put your winnings and lose them, the more frustrating it will be for you since you will think that you should cash them out instead of putting them back in gambling. Treat yourself to some of the winnings so you won't always be frustrated, and it can help you think clearly and make you positive since you already bought something with the money you won. |

Less than 10 games already for most of the teams. It's the first time I appreciate this new play-in system. It makes the games better since some of the bottom teams are still playing hard for a chance to enter the playoffs. Without the play-ins, many teams would've rested their main players with minor injuries to heal and give way to the other players.
That's exactly why the play-ins were created, to maintain the season's competitiveness from the start to finish. Look at how the teams from 5th seed down to the 11th seed in the Western Conference, they are tightly competing for either a secured spot in the playoffs or secure a spot for the play-ins. Lakers, Warriors, and Rockets are now has a close competition to secure a play-ins spot, with the Rockets and Warriors being close to each other with 2-3 games apart. Every game left for these 3 teams are a must, otherwise one of these teams will get behind and drop to the 11th seed. The Rockets are on 11th winning streak, so the Warriors must watch out as they need to get a consistent W's before the season ends. When this was implemented, I kind of hated it since getting into the playoffs is much harder now with the play-in. Way back, you just needed to secure the 1st to 8th spot and you were good to go, but now that you have secured the 7th or 8th spot, you can still slide down to the 9th spot and cannot go to the playoffs. But looking at it now, I can see the beauty in it and why they implemented this so that every game has more meaning, especially for those players that are in the play-in spot. In the past, if there were few games to be played, some of the teams would rest some of their players so they would be healthy when the playoffs came. Overall, play-in tournaments make the league more competitive since teams will value the game more. I think the downside of this one is that after the 82 games, records don't count; one game can change everything, just like what happened in the Miami vs. Hawks last season. The Heat had a better record, yet the Hawks became the 7th seed because they beat the Heat. |

I tried it once when I asked my coworkers about and thoughts about the NBA games, and he said that he hadn't thought of that yet, so I said that I would get back to him after a few hours. But after thinking, I've never reached out to him that day because I realized that we have our own judgments on things; one might work for him, one might not work for me, so for me, I would rather get lost with my own judgement than lose with someone else's. Yes, losing with someone is much more comforting since you have someone that you can share the frustration with, but it is much more happy if you win with your own judgement.

Emotion:
The cause of the emotion in the gambling site because of the loss due to bad luck.The gambling loss mostly occurred due to the emotional inference to the game.If the gamblers loss the funds in the gambling site,they become emotionally weaker person.This cause for the random betting in the gambling site.The more you control your emotions will cause you to win more in the gambling site.
The gambling is the game with two possibilities,which is the winnings and losing.The winning happens if you use your strategies to make the money,the gamblers who failed to make use of the strategies are the loser at the end of the gambling.The winner of the gambling always make money from it,So he get positive emotions towards the game.The gamblers with more positive emotions are able to win more in the long run in the gambling site.
Nearly eighty percentage of the gamblers are doing gambling for the money making,So it was essential for the gamblers to make use of their strategies to win money from the gambling site.How your emotions affects your games,let me know your past experience.
I agree. Most of the time, when we get carried away by our emotions, we tend to make some of the shitty decisions and end up ruining our day or, for the worst, ruining our life. So when betting, we should be taking it one step at a time, since if we rush things, we might end up taking the hard road. I sometimes get carried away too, I don't know, maybe human instinct, and end up, just like what I said, doing some questionable bets and ending up losing it all. I guess it should be a lesson to be learned for me—an expensive lesson, LOL. But it is a must that in gambling, you should be in a clear and good state so you will think straight and you can judge clearly so you won't have any regrets when betting. Also, if things go wrong, taking a break would be nice since it can separate you from the stress of losing in gambling. Then, after the break, maybe try again, try small, then feel the monument, and don't forget to take profit. Taking profits can lighten up our mood, and we will be more positive. |

Being addicted to gambling can affect a lot of things; of course, the main victim is the addict itself. Gambling can ruin one's life if he really dives into the rabbit hole of it, financially, mentally, or maybe physically, if he hurts himself whenever he loses. The worst of the three is maybe financially. I guess since everything we do needs money, and to be honest, when you have no money, it is like you have no energy, and it is hard to move. The second that can be affected is the family. Since the victim is unstable, in the worst case, he can hurt his family and be physically and mentally absent from them, making him invincible.
That is just one of the things an addicted gambler can encounter if he really continues to bury himself in the rabbit hole of gambling.
