Like I told you guys most in my posts about the Dallas Mavericks, Kyrie Irving will be the key player of the game. If he starts aggressive early in the game, the Mavs will survive anything and it will boost the offensive energy of his teammates which happened today.

A very close game and it was so damn entertaining, teeth-clenching, heart-stopping, and exciting. I cannot even count how many times I stopped breathing for a while because of how close the game was. This is the playoffs that we had been waiting for.

The Mavs stopped AntMan at 19 points, Gobert at 7 rebounds only (not normal), and Towns at 16 points. That's the recipe to win a game. Don't let Ant get his rhythm and get offensive rebounds as much as possible which I believe is credited to their Twin Towers Lively (4/11 off. rebounds) and Gafford (4/9 off. rebounds). All of that could've been for Gobert but those two did a great job giving their team a second chance opportunity. 

Yea, as what we have been seeing, Kyrie doesn't have a good series OKC, but here he did step up and that is scary for the Wolves in game 1. He looks like he is looking for this kind of game to show his talent again, whether he goes left or right of even if it is the DPOY in front of him, he will take his shot.

I thought it will be a good match up down with Gafford and Lively against Gobert and Towns, but it was the Mavs who are more dominant and Gobert didn't get his usual rebounds. Although Towns scores, he has difficulty against Lively as he was blocked twice in one possession.

He need to teach ANT a lesson that he is no easy opponent for him and its good to see him that he step up since that leave some statement that he need to respect the veteran like him. But this is a intense match and Wolves also show some quality performance. I really think earlier that they could take the win on game one since they are dictating the phase of the game and they shoot a lot of three pointers while Mavs struggling in rainbow area. But what make Mavs alive is their inside offense and second chance opportunity that's why Wolves didn't get a far lead from Mavs.

Also its really amazing to see the young big man of Mavs perform so well since they really bring a big help to get the win on game 1.

Yeah he needs to show some respect though it's his gesture of being competitive and it might inspire him to play hard just like how Kyrie play being inspire by that kind of challenge, proving that you can still bring something and manage to win the game, I like the exchange attacks of Kyrie and Luka they are not forcing it but instead they really managing the help that they can get from all their teammates, like what you said those young big man they all working hard fighting for the second chance points.

Most people don't like to be seen outside gambling, maybe because they prefer to gamble indoors or they just don't prefer to be seen as gamblers publicly. You know at times some people are quick to judge and can easily tag anyone as notorious if they are seen gambling often or irresponsible, to avoid this most people prefer to stay indoors.
Gambling is not socially accepted. People who gamble are usually addicted and at that time they lose their normal balance. Family as well as socially they can be criticized as an addicted. Because of these allegations, most gamblers try to hide their gambling. If the family of a gambler knows that he is addicted to gambling or gambling then his family will start behaving differently towards him. Gamblers do such things to avoid such situations. Generally people sees someone gambling, regardless of what he has done, people will have a bad impression of him and because of this fear, people prefer gambling indoors or in various secluded places. Many prefer gambling away from the crowd or alone to be more focused on gambling.

Well, there are communities who still thinks that way but in this growing industry which already been accepted by more countries I guess that kind of treatment is no longer the big reason why gambler's hide their gambling participation, it's more on avoiding those toxic people who can't accept the reality in life, those who are still criticize people who are involve into gambling, they just don't want to talk much about their activities and they are avoiding any confrontation about their gambling activities.
403  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Use your winning responsibly on: May 23, 2024, 09:26:45 AM

A very normal reaction or behavior that you would really be doing as a gambler on which on the moment that you would be earning some profits or on winning condition then you would really be mainly thinking that you will really be needing to play on the next day or other sessions on which you would already be thinking that you might be able to win up even further on the moment that you would be deciding that you will really be playing
because you are already projecting or assuming that you would be getting on the same results or outcomes. On the moment that you would be having that kind of mindset or thinking then it would really be an endless cycle. Gamblers would really be continuing to play just because they are really indeed believing that they could really be able to win up even more but the truth is that we cant really be lucky all the time.
Instead of winning even more, you might be able to get those winnings back to the house and losing them all. In result? You would really be having that huge regret in the end of the line.

That side of you is something that you need to work on, it's instinct that you are assuming that you can always duplicate the outcome, and that's where gambling system beats you, giving you that kind of feelings that will really affects your emotions, something that build inside you that's really hard to break, though there are some experienced gamblers who managed to break the code and able to control their emotions, but not many can do the same.

Most of the time, it's the emotions that really push you to continue instead of taking your chance collecting your earnings.

And that's helps you to make sure that you are still in control,  if you can stop by those reasons that you mentioned then it's a good sign that you are not going to fall into addiction,  not all gambler can stop immediately especially those who are already attached  they will keep pushing even there are things that they needed to consider in order to stop their participation,  those mostly ended up getting addicted and ruin or wrecking their finances.

Yes, I know that feeling because at time I have myself felt that I have been over gambling.
The temptation to hit another bet and then another keeps going on but to be honest, I am afraid of high losses.
As soon as I see I have lost more than my budget, I either empty my wallet or stop gambling for few days/weeks or I stop that session and come back the next day.
Gambling requires a strong budget and a strong mindset. If you don't put any limitation in your gambling then you will gradually start using all your winnings. Because if you are addicted to gambling then gambling will control you. And at that time you will become like a madman. So at that time you will fail to make a potential decision. So having a good idea of ​​when you should stop gambling is definitely very important

Exactly, if you don't have any limitation then for sure you'll lose a lot and even you almost got some winnings chances that it will be return to the house,  as you will continue to bet without any wise decision making, I see your point with how you think or treat gambling very important to have that trigger point on when to stop and make sure that you'll follow that instinct not to over exceed from your limitation to prevent getting addicted.

I bet on over 213.5 as it looked so obvious this game is gonna go over. If you look at the last 2 games, the total  were below 200, and now the total offered is over 213.5, this is fishy, so I like to follow my instinct here.


That's very clever, nice pick. It looked like it was going to go under after the first half, but the third quarter saw a lot of points scored, which easily brought the game over. The right pick was SMB -5.5 as they beat ROS by 10 points. Now the series is already 3-0, and there's no way ROS will be able to come back. I think it's going to be a sweep. Congratulations.

Yup, slow start but after 1st half both teams  start to rally and the over was easily covered, same with the handicap as SMB manage to take the win with a double digit leads, as you mentioned it's a 3-0 series now and the chance of getting sweep is almost at hand for SMB, though maybe to extend the series a magical hands will comes out and provide that luck for RoS bettors, it's not over until the series is not over hahaha. Let's wait and see if SMB will sweep this or ROS will manage to win game/s against the powerhouse SMB.

The same scenario happened with the Ginebra vs. Meralco game. It was a high-scoring 1st quarter, but the succeeding quarters were low-scoring. I even saw the live total reach 193.5 when it was only 178.5 before the game. Here's the breakdown of the quarters' scoring:

1st: 49...2nd: 33....3rd: 49....4th: 36
The total score was only 167, so the under wins. Additionally, Meralco now holds the lead in the series as they dominated Ginebra in this game.

That's the real defense, these two are both defensive teams, so the outcome should be under. And also, we have to consider that they are not playing in a familiar court. The 3 point shooting was missing as both teams shoots below 30%. I'm sure game 4 will also be a low scoring game as Ginebra is going to activate better defense to even the series, going down 1-3 is already very hard for them, so I guess I'm gonna side on the Ginebra in game 4 and will just forget betting on total.

The last statement is important siding for Gin kings might be a good one here, for sure CTC will find that good adjustments to improve both their offense and defense they've been outplayed by that familiar uniforms who mostly their opponents during the finals, they need to keep on moving and rotates the ball wisely,  as per Meralco what they've doing with their defense really paying the price as they manage to limits Gin kings predictions.  It's an interesting game 4 for sure as we will see how both teams will prepare in winning the game.

The poor people want to become rich and they think they can get their quickly by gambling but they end up losing more money than they thought they will be winning, many people are getting frustrated daily because they are not succeeding at gambling and they cannot stop gambling instead they are trying to win back their losses. Gambling has an addiction effect and those that get addicted find it very hard to stop gambling in spite of all the negative feedback that they are getting from gambling like losing their money and self respect. I think the poor people are those that are gambling more and spending more money in gambling and this is why they are still very poor. The rich people  are also gambling but since they do not depend on gambling for making money, they are not always gambling.
I completely agree with you. Trying to get rich quick through gambling can be very dangerous for people who are already struggling. Poor people are mostly tempted by promise of easy money but they end up losing even more and getting stuck in cycle of addiction and financial problems. Gambling can be very hard to stop and people may keep trying to win back what they lost even if it means losing even more. Rich people who can afford to gamble do so responsibly and don't rely on it to make living. This shows how important it is to address root causes of poverty and provide help and education to break cycle of gambling addiction.

A very bad impressions with gambling, there are many poor gamblers who got this kind of mentality, thinking that if luck permits they will quickly earn a lot and change their lives, unfortunately instead of making money most of the time they just bring that money inside the house and let the owners enjoy, there are some who manage to make decent but more on the losing side, as we see there are many new gambling house that keeps on opening from time to time.

With rich gamblers who can control their emotions it's easier for them play and stop even they lose some they know and threat it as payment for having some fun, while with poor gamblers, they will continue to hope for luck to back them up as they treat gambling as source of funds.

Nice hit, @ralle14, as the total first half points were 128, way over the bet you picked, so it was an easy win. The game was indeed high-scoring, especially when it went to overtime. This looks like the trend in the series, as both teams love to run and are shooting at a high percentage. The Pacers are known to be an offensive team, and if the Celtics are winning with that kind of pace, I think they'll continue to play the same in game 2. With that said, I'm already looking forward to the game 2 over.

Yup, with how both teams running their offensive executions they both love to run and with those shooters who can take behind the arc the trend might be for those who loves to pick Over chances is good for those who believes that both squad will continue to execute that quick basket especially those running attacks.

Quote
Anyway, let's discuss the other conference finals. Tomorrow we have the Dallas vs. Wolves game 1. I hope this is also a great matchup. Both teams are coming from tough series, so I expect they'll give each other a headache.

My pick would be Dallas moneyline and under 206.

You love to take the risk, as most see that Wolves got that edge after beating the defending champ, they again will be test against the power duo of Luka and Kyrie, who also playing great games as leaders, more on how both squad will see and take their advantages against each other and who's more hungrier than the other. Good Luck!

Maiba tayo, tapos na pala ang game 1 sa ECF. Panalo ang Boston pero maganda pinakita ng Pacers kasi muntik na silang manalo.

Maganda tong laban na to para sa Pacers kasi high scoring game, yan talaga ang game nila. Saka si Siakam, maganda ang nilaro, gusto ko yan, kasi pag ganyan ma spread lalo ang production sa buong team.



Sobrang ganda ng laro kanina kabayan. Di ko tinuloy pusta ko sa Boston dahil wala si Porzingis at gusto ko muna tingnan ang game 1. At ayon na nga, akala ko kakainin lang ng buhay sa Boston ang Indiana pero nakabalo rin pala at sila na talaga dapat panalo dun kung hindi lang sila naisalba ni Jalen Brown. At yun pa talaga ang nag iisang hindi sumablay na tres ni Jalen sa laro.

Meron pa din akong doubt sa puso ni Tatum lalo nung 4th quarter. Gusto ko sana magdrive siya at wag parati tres. Buti na lang grabe puso nina White at Holiday at talagang nagpursige sa depensa at opensa.

Yun ang maganda sa Boston kasi parehong 2-way player yung mga role players nila at talagang buo ang puso kung hindi sila sa opensa tutulong nandun yung depensa talaga nila, kahit medyo nagbuwaya si Tatum though deserve naman nya pero may mga pagkakataon lang talaga na mas mataas ang percentage sa loob kesa sa labas pero syempre decision nya un at player kung nandun ung akala nyang kumpyansa, sa daloy naman ng series medyo maiiba to pag naglaro na si KP medyo malaking tulong sa ilalim at yung distributions ng bola kasama yung mama sa rotation malamang medyo mas mapapadali kasi malaki ang threat ni KP sa loob tapos yung mga shooters sa labas hindi pdeng iwanan basta basta makay yung ikot talaga nakakalito para madepensahan ng Pacers.

I think there is nothing wrong with someone considering gambling as entertainment, but the most important thing is that they know the limits of gambling and can manage the funds used for gambling and their time for gambling, because we often see those who gamble frequently, of course they will have financial problems and It will be very easy for them to become addicted to gambling, but for some people who can control their gambling activities and also the funds they use for gambling, of course they will not experience addiction.

More people who gamble frequently are going to be addicted but there are some people who can gamble many times in a row and still not be addicted to gambling. Some people are gambling only because they want to get entertained. Gambling has a very strong addition feeling that comes with it and people love having that feeling so they will always be gambling anytime they see the opportunity. Gambling frequently leads to gambling addicts for many people therefore it is not always good to be gambling frequently. You can give yourself some break so you will be able to recover from your previous losses and be mentally ready to risk some more money for the opportunity to make more money. Gambling is entertaining and also risky but it is worth it when you are able to be gambling in an appropriate way and making profits.

This statement is valid as there are gamblers who can control thier emotions and have that capability to limit their gambling activities and prevent being busted and wrecked their finances, people who knows how to stop when they needed to top and treat this venue as part of thei entertainment, though most can't as adrenaline and that kind of addiction that they feel inside which makes them to keep aiming to play from time to time, they are those that turn things to worse side of this industry, they can't handle their own emotions that's why they burned everything including the amount that they can't afford to lose.
411  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: May 22, 2024, 11:32:20 AM
The Celtics won by 5 points in OT. I thought this series would be easy for the Celtics, but Game 1 proved me wrong. The Pacers are giving their all; 7 players scored in double digits, with 3 of them scoring more than 20. The Pacers had 6 more field goals, but the Celtics had more free throws, with 24 compared to the Pacers' 9. The Pacers committed 23 fouls and had 21 turnovers. They need to work more on reducing their turnovers and fouls.
This is just game 1, and we've already seen how the Pacers are playing. It was a winnable game for them, but the Celtics got lucky with Brown's tough tying shot. In OT, the Celtics took over in the last two minutes and secured the win. That's fine—if the Pacers were able to come back from a 0-2 deficit before, I'm sure it's not hard for them to do it against the Celtics, even if they are the underdog.

Some thought this series would be easy for the Celtics, but the result of game 1 proved them wrong. We have a series here, and I'm sure we will see more entertaining action ahead.

I wouldn't say it's lucky though, I mean Brown could have a good 3 point percentage. But if he didn't make it, will be over for the Celtics in game 1. But yeah, this is just game one and it shows that even if the Boston is the top seed, the Pacers have been in two tough series already and they are well built for this kind of big games.

Pacers are still a big underdog in game 2, but there could be NBA bettors who might go with them ML for a huge upset next game.

It will be a entertaining series for sure and I'm seeing the Pacers giving the Celtics a run in this series.

I'm in the impression that Boston will take this big upset as Pacers almost take this game 1 in front of thier home crowd, though it's not a kind of luck it's more on taking the responsibility as we know that Brown is one of the leader of this squad, for the Pacers, they fell short during OT Haliburton's efforts almost been paid, but Celtics protects their home advantage.

Let see if how both teams will adjust this coming game 2, like you said after witnessing that thrilling game 1, for sure we will see more it's a series of adjustments for both squads.

But I don't think that a gambler will want to quit for entirety because no matter what reason we have, we'd still be back and try to chase losses and to win some as well.

That's the fact. There are some gamblers, who no matter how hard they try, get back to chasing losses even after they have already lost more than their budget.
Expecting such gamblers to quit after some time is hard. Quitting gambling at the right time needs strong will and discipline.
A person who follows his rules is the one who can control emotions and make the right decisions whether it be related to gambling or any other thing for that fact.
Gambling should have a stopping time, but quitting is not simple. Every gambler stops at a given time, some would choose to end the game when they are tired or have something else to do. While others wouldn't mind stopping when their bankroll is exhausted. Personally, I prefer to stop when they is need to handle other tasks. Maybe exercise my brain or build a better strategy. Gamblers who are not comfortable with stopping when needful, may get into problem.

It's also an insidious behavior which later on puts the player into a more severe problem. I think gamblers should be cautious of the type of choices they make regarding a stoppage time. Because the behavior develops gradually and then occurs consistently. Just like in chasing losses, the player doesn't get compulsive immediately he starts going after his losses. Sooner the problem begins to escalate in the player's brain causing him more troubles on the long run. Hence, gamblers are advised to stop at the right time, not when they've exhausted their bankroll.


I mostly stop based on the situation. If I have met my target I stop. If I have suffered enough losses I stop.
If I am gambling and suddenly I get into some other work then I stop. If somehow I lose interest in that session I stop.
So basically, there's not one reason for me to stop gambling but it really depends on the situation.

And that's helps you to make sure that you are still in control,  if you can stop by those reasons that you mentioned then it's a good sign that you are not going to fall into addiction,  not all gambler can stop immediately especially those who are already attached  they will keep pushing even there are things that they needed to consider in order to stop their participation,  those mostly ended up getting addicted and ruin or wrecking their finances.
413  Economy / Gambling / Re: My betting strategies on: May 21, 2024, 12:24:00 PM

If I wanted that, to control all those emotions, apparently adrenaline is the only thing that drives us to continue in this, that is why sometimes we, driven by those emotions, cannot do much, but we are looking for a way to do things better. things, for example if I'm playing with crash and I see that I win and win, as I happened, I was playing with small bets and I always hit 2x and 3x and after that I started to put more money and I lost them, then I feel that I I got out of control because I started making bets with more money but betting at 4x and 5x where I still lost them, then I didn't play the other round and I saw that it was won at 9x and I didn't bet.


With that kind of experienced I guess you'll think that if only you continue placing your bets you might hit that 9x, the problem begins when you making that kind of regrets as the next thing that you may do is follow your instinct and be dominated by your emotions, it's something that really hard to control when there's already a toxic adrenaline rush inside you,

something that will continue to push you to instead of resting nd quitting away there's something inside you that will keep whispreing to continue as you don't want to see yourself regretting if the bets wins.

trading is not as easy as we imagine, The risk of loss is very high, so don't take the wrong action so that it makes us emotional when prices start to fall.
A strong person in trading is one whose emotions are under control.  Because emotions give us motivation help us adopt anything new and emotions greatly manipulate and influence trading decisions.  For example there is fear that makes us panic, so that we exit our quantity on a small change where we should have held, not exited, because of the effect of fear.  They go out.  And then here comes the temptation.  Now the temptation is to force the trader to take bigger risks, so that he can make bigger profits.  So be it fear or greed both are great enemies for a trader.

Yup, if you understand both risk and benefits you will adopt and use the right emotions to follow your guts, there's always a big advantage when you know what industry you are working with, and same with your sentiments the one who knows how to control his own emotion is the one who can benefits from this market, just needs to make sure that before entering the business you are done dealing with your research and you are fully aware with how the market works to established good anticipation from how you'll place your positions.
415  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: May 21, 2024, 12:05:17 PM
SMB is just too much for ROS. Although ROS are sharing the ball very well which is good but their 3 point shooting was really the problem in this game. Just    27% from 3's and since that should be their main weapon to defeat SMB, with a low percentage that's an automatic loss. ROS really struggling to score in the paint as JMF is waiting their to block shots, and sometimes when JMF attack the paint, he can also grab some offensive rebounds which hurts more the ROS. Now, let's talk about game 3, what should be the strategy the ROS has to use? Because they can't afford to go 0-3 where no team have even comeback in the PBA history.

Actually there was already a team that came back from a 0-3 hole and that is the Beermen also lead by that time a younger June Mar Fajardo. It was dubbed as a "beeracle" where the SMB Beermen defeated the Alaska aces four consecutive game to grad the AFC trophy. Just forgot what year that was but it really happens in the PBA.

Yes, it does not happen in NBA but it happen in the PBA, it's already in the history.

However, the situation was different with the current match up of the SMB now because ROS are healthy and they are the underdog in the series, unlike that time where SMB was only underdog because they don't have their best player,  but when he came back, it changes everything and they made a history.

Indeed, Alaska got their chance since JMF is not playing on their first 3 meetings but when JMF start to play there's no way Alaska can stop him and with his pals "the death 5" it's really tough to handle thats solid squad, nothing but only watching the Beermen snatching that almost another title for the Aces.

Though, the situation now is too different, SMB is the heavy favorite and there's no one from ROS lineup that they are waiting to bring a big impact, and worse is SMB begins to spark that bond with those resting superstars now being back in form, it's really tough to handled.

For risk takers for sure Dallas will be the best option for them, and like what you mentioned,  it's not only Wolves who's got a good journey so far after beating the defending Champ but with how Dallas managed to blend the Players together and how both Luka and Kyrie managed their on-court relationships that's something that brings them to this far, it's the game between two promising squads the only thing that will separate them is to whom is much hunger and the one that will really put everything to win the conference finals and move to chase the world title Champ!

It’s suicidal to YOLO bet with Dallas considering how great the defense and offense of Wolves. I wonder who will guard with Gobert and KAT properly on Dallas current line-up without removing Kyrie and Luka on their player on the court.

Both Kyrie and Luka will be a burden on defense if they can’t answer on offense while ANT will have the greatest day of his life free shooting or driving due to the space that Gobert and KAT give to him.

It’s a massacre to think that Wolves will play same energy level when they are against Nuggets. Maybe game 1 might be rest for Wolves but the rest of the match will surely overwhelming for Dallas.
For Gobert, it would be Gafford most of the time if he isn't injured but if he is, it would be Lively II. For KAT, most of the time it would be PJ Washington.
Overall, I don't see the Mavericks winning on this one either.

I mean I don't underestimate the Mavericks in this match-up, but beating the defending champions? Defeating a team that has the MVP and currently the best player in the league? That's a bigtime statement for the Timberwolves saying, "We're here to win it all." Irving and Doncic will be having a hard time finding ways to get some rhythm because of the suffocating defense of the Timberwolves that's for sure. The Wolves have it all. Defensive minded players but can contribute on offense as well. I will not be surprised if the Timberwolves will get the NBA title this season after 20 years of continuously losing.

Beating the Nuggets surely boost the morale of the Timberwolves, and they will carry it all throughout the playoffs. I'll go with Timberwolves on this one probably in 6 games, or 5 maybe, but it will not go 7 games. No disrespect to the Mavericks, but the Wolves are just better.

Stats wise we can all see that big advantages as like what the post above you mentioned with the two towers they can give a free looks for ANT, the good catch is KAT also have that killer instinct, he have that capabilities to attack and that height and veterans advantage against the young big of Dallas, though basketball is the game of skills and good adoptions to adjust.

We will see what will be the outcome of this series after bringing those info about the comparisons of these two teams that competes.

Your very right, gambling in front of children can cause them to develop early gambling habits and it could be a trouble for thme growing up cause they would always want to use their money to gamble seeing it as a source to get more miney which is worng, parents should learn to keep habits off children cause childcare learn by observation and would replicate what their parents do.

It's better that way. Although we want to gamble freely in our house, we should also think about the effects that it will have on our kids. I learned it the hard way. I used to curse inside our house and my kids always heard me say it and then suddenly I was shocked that they repeated what I said clearly. I didn't like it when I heard it which is why I stopped using cursed words in our house.
Kids will always observe and mimic their parents because they think it is right or they just want to copy anything for fun. That is the reason why we should not let our children have any clue about what gambling is or how it works. There are ways to do this and one way is when they are away at school or they are already sleeping. We should always be mindful of what we will do when we are near them because they can easily absorb it and copy it.

Kids always observe and adopt whatever they see or heard from those adults that they have from their surroundings, learning it only from observing and there's no need for anything as the kids easily adopt and we can't control that without proper guidance, like what happened to you, it's just by hearing it and you just find it out that they already using those words without really knowing what's the meaning of it.

Same deal with gambling, if they see those adults who are enjoying they will think that it will be okay for them to try and enjoy that same game those adults are playing, we need to be very careful on what we are showing them, it should be from us since we are the one that they are following and we needed to be a good example for them.

I think its all about money. When you have more than enough money in your gambling accounts, then literally you'll go with higher bets and random bets. Cause you don't know what to do with that extra money. That's why mind will force you to do gambling with that fund. And thus people become over confidence with any match or really don't care about their money. So they gamble and loss. And yeah, Greedy plays viral role in gamblers life. Sometimes i also feel greedy to place bets on my favorite team although we shouldn't use to place bets all the time. But as I already said that money matter here! If you keep lower money in your account, then such things could be reduced in my opinion
I have seen this before as well, which is why I only keep an amount of money that is very small on my gambling accounts at casinos, now this means that I have to make several small transactions instead of a big one, and for an observer this may not seem to make a lot of sense, as I could save someone money on fees by simply sending all of that money at the same time, but since I know that having a large amount of money there will cause me to be more reckless when gambling, this is not really an option for me.

There's always good and bad side on each process that we made, just like how you describes it, if you send large transactions it will save you some for your transaction fees but the risk is you might lose everything compared with sending small amount and let it roll and enjoy your gambling using the amount that you are willing to let go.

Self-control that most of the time the same repeated issue a gambler commits then lose their balance, incorrect balance with both emotions and money managements leads you to a addiction.

Best to always find that learned knowledge each time you gamble, either you win or you lose there's knowledge behind it.

Mavs vs Nuggets or Timberwolves sino sa tingin nyo makakalaban ng Mavs? Sa tingin ko kahit sino pa makalaban ng Mavs dito no match ang Mavs. Ganun din sa East kahit sino makalaban ng Celtics palagay ko sila makakpasok sa NBA Finals.

Medyo may palag naman ang Mavs lalo na ngayong talagang solid na yung depensa nila hindi na sila puro opensa lang kasi maasahan na talaga yung mga batang halimaw sa ilalim tapos yung mga role players nila talagang pumapalag, ang ilalamang lang talaga ng Wolves eh you halimaw na ANT ibang level talaga yung game nun batang superstar unless machallenge ng todo both Luka at Kyrie at talagang buhatin yung Mavs, magkakaalaman tayo ngayon papasok na series kung sino ang tatanghaling WCF champ at makakaadvance sa NBA finals.

Kung sa star power lamang talaga Minnesota dahil tatlo superstars while sa kabila sina Luka at Kyrie lang. Di ako sigurado kung yung 2 minor injuries ni Luka iniinda pa din o baka pwede maheal kahit naglalaro pa rin siya pero malaking factor rin dahil mas mahirap na kalaban itong Timberwolves.

Akala ko talaga palpak na ang planong twin towers ng Minnesota last season dahil nasa first round pa lang ng playoffs ay exit kaagad sila kahit meron ng 3 superstars. Nuggets rin tumalo Timberwolves last playoffs kaya nakaganti talaga sila this season. Nagkaroon ng adjustments at bumalik rin sa paging Defensive Player of the Year si Gobert.

Magkakatalo yan sa system na gagamitin ng coaches at paano mag eexecute yung mga players, mahihirapan talaga ang Mavs pero panigurado naman akong papalag sila, nakarating na sila sa finals at kung sasayangin pa nila yung chance na makabalik ulit sa finals eh medyo sayang talaga at baka mahirapan na sila ulit sa mga susunod na season, while sa side ng Wolves same din pero ang advantage nila eh yung line up nila composed pa yan ng mga batang manlalaro at yung sistema na ginagamit nila, grabe tatlong higante at hindi lang twin towers, ung 6th man player of the year eh nakita naman natin kung paano pumalag sa depensahan kay Jokic kaya talagang nahirapan ang defending champ kasi pagod talaga si Joker sa tatlong higante na nagpapalitan para sa kanya.
