Maybe you will not face a problem at the beginning but if you site grow, you will surely get notice and your business future will be at risk.
I guess the right thing to do is just to start on your own brand, I am sure you are familiar with the forum and how to advertise here, so maybe you can start here.

To me, betting double after losing is a sign of desperation from the losers aspect.
And this is an attitude very conversant with a near addict of gambling.

We need to always maintain our calmness, either in profits or in loss.

That could be in most cases as when you double and you still lose again, you might think of doubling again until you will wipe out your entire bankroll and that is very frustrating. but for some, they know how to use this strategy so they are successful, but still not advisable for newbie as mostly their emotion is what they use instead of making a strategy to make it work.

For people who are new in gambling, betting double on gambling will be frustrating because they can see the chance to win will be less than the loss that they may get. They don't have much experience in how to use that strategy so they can play with emotion, and that can be a trigger to get a big loss. We don't have to try betting double like what other people do, and it's better to play gambling with little money to prevent the big loss.
Experiencing big loses will only happen when a better loses control, regardless of his strategy as long as he has the control and he has a good bankroll strategy, he will certainly last as a gambler. It's a matter of how discipline you are, when you lose you should always make sure you don't go beyond the limit and you'll be okay as there's always tomorrow to try to start winning.

Let's get into the latest rumors in the NBA today.

How about this one?

Dwyane Wade Tweets 'I Know Someone' in Regards to Bulls' Rumored Exec. Search

Quote
The Chicago Bulls are searching for a front-office executive to hold total authority on basketball decisions, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Woj reported that two general managers (the Denver Nuggets' Arturas Karnisovas and the Toronto Raptors' Bobby Webster) are two candidates, but a certain NBA legend and Chicago native might be throwing his hat in the ring:


Wade throwing himself to this position, interesting.  Grin

What do you think Wade can do to improve the Bulls with him? can he at least put the bulls back to the playoff picture again?

4047  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can crypto gambling be provably fair to regulators? on: April 04, 2020, 02:05:02 PM
I think with the provably fair system that casinos use can't alter the bet or know the outcome because it's the "provably fair" part of the system, right?
Definitely, in the early days when dice was still starting to be popular, there are sites that are not license but because we trust on the provable fairness, we still gamble because we believe on them and they are called as reputable site, how much more if they will be regulated, more safe for the gamblers.

With the gaming law in place in some places, their job is to give licenses to the ones who apply it. So, therefore, I don't think they would be ultimately deciding the regulations just on the "provably fair" part of the online casino, it's the entirety.
Regulators job will issue a license under a certain conditions and licensee should comply all of that for them to get the license, and in that condition are rules that they need to comply which is for the fairness of the casino and their responsibility to the government which is the tax.
4048  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does good side of gambling overcomes its negative side? on: April 04, 2020, 01:21:05 PM
Because practically, 70% of gamblers lose dailies, which makes the bookmakers even more rich.

Bookmakers does not take your bet, they only facilitate your bet, they make money from juice so their income would rely on the volume of gamblers and the amount of money entering in sportsbook. it goes like this, when one wins, the other will lose, the winning bettor will usually get 90% only while the 10% will be for the book makers, that's how they make money.
4049  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH might go down below 80$ on: April 04, 2020, 10:31:07 AM
High connection between the ETH and BTC dictates the all other altcoins, IMO. There is confirmed market cases which shows the strength meter when BTC price increase the other altcoins follow it. In this case, if BTC goes below $3000, ETH price also can test $80 too.

That's true the speculation will not materialize unless Bitcoin go down to as low as $3000 which did not happen and now the market is gaining ground, but we are not yet safe, this is not yet a safe zone for us, the halving can help but as long as this pandemic is over the market is still at risk, what happen is really unexpected.

I am not even thinking the word "safe" when investing in crypto.
just like when ETH was still trading at $1,000, I always think of the possibility that it could also dump and it did really happen.

When you say ETH will dump below $80, this would only happen if bitcoin will also dump, that's the trend and it's still happening.
So far, bitcoin is quite stable at $6k+, and that is a good sign since despite of the crisis, it still hold at that price.

NBA focused on figuring out plan for possible canceled season, report says

"The talks between the players union and the league this week, I've talked to both sides of this issue, and it is clear that the NBA is angling to set up a deal that enables them to shut the season down," Windhorst said. "Now they don't have to do that yet, and the way they're negotiating they're leaving themselves an option either way, but they're not having talks about how to restart the league, they're having financial talks about what would happen if the season shuts down, and I think there is a significant amount of pessimism right now."

https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/nba-focused-on-figuring-out-plan-for-possible-canceled-season-report-says/

Though I love to see NBA games daily but right now I would agree that this is the right idea, people are suffering therefore they should focus on finding ways to solve the pandemic, I know NBA is a big organization, they are capable financially and I think this time the private organization can also help the people who are affected with the pandemic.

Let us accept that it will really happen, no NBA soon, we will wait for the new season to come.
4051  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can crypto gambling be provably fair to regulators? on: April 03, 2020, 05:43:35 AM
I think there are some casinos that are doing that, the backdoor per se. Do you think all casinos are honest to the core and following all the rules and regulations? and the provable fairness, I guess it is the responsibility of the casino itself. maybe the government rep will randomly check but it will not be on a regular basis. though I don't have the knowledge about the govt checklist on how they check legal casinos but i guess they will not be so strict if the casino has already acquired gambling license.
Why would casino would still risk on doing that when they have the house edge and they can win most of the time.
There is a saying that "casino always wins" that is true that is why they are profitable and their industry is growing, and most I can read int he news is that gamblers are cheating on the casino, popular ones are gambling cheating vegas.

We'll i dont think there's no need for that as long as it follows the gambling rules and requirements with a feature of provably fair to be trustworthy. Then there's no need for another party to interfere, as you know provably fair ensure the players winning percentage wont be tampered by the online casino itself. Just be sure to only play gambling games to sites that has good feedback and also verified.


When a casino is regulated, regulators will ensure they can't cheat against its gamblers, that's the first priority, and 2nd is they can't cheat against the government as an everyone single profit the site will earn, the government is entitled with a certain percentage as tax.

I thought their firs priority is the tax.. lol..

Tax is the lifeblood so that should be, but anyway that is not important, what's important is the site will comply with the rules so they will be able to continue their business and continue to make profit as well, of course if they choose to cheat, they can certainly do that, but that's their call as they know the risk and the consequence when they get caught, not only they destroy their reputation, they could also go to jail.

The link you shared is not working, this is the correct link - https://pba.ph/news/aces-doing-their-share-in-own-small-way

well, you are correct, they are also doing their own initiative to help the people, I can say that PBA has a great organization as everyone is helping, from the team owner down to the player and the president like that especially the donation coming from the SMC.
Well I didn't know this news yet maybe I get busy thats why. It is good the even them has make their way to help others, also I read that Manny Pangilinan the owner of SMC already gave a lot to its employees and to the hospital. Glad that PBA members shows their support and help to those needy. How about other teams? Did they also give something or help?

Probably, since this is not a compulsory thing then we would not know everything, and some will prepare not to publish the help that they give.
Hopefully the "bayanihan" will enter in the hearts of the many who can afford to help financially, so together we can defeat the virus and we can get back our normal life.
4055  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Betting Double After Losing is Really a Good Decision? on: March 31, 2020, 07:33:52 AM
Gambling is totally dependent on luck and experience.
Totally.. no, it also depends on your skills, your experience your earn is useless if you will not learn something to improve your skills in gambling.
Luck does not need an experience as they say luck beats talent and even experience, but it would not give you consistency.

If you are a real gambler, you obviously bet again after lose.
Definitely because you want to win back your loses and be profitable, you are not gambling just to lose, you also try to win.

You know that gambling depends on luck, you can win on second time. so, I think betting double after losing is not a bad decision, if your destiny is with you then you will win.
I think you just have to set some limit and follow your game plan all the time, no emotions involve just a pure planning that you need to properly execute.

For dice games, it doesn't work for me because my chance to win is not bigger, and I think it is the same as if I don't use a strategy.
No one wins in dice if you are expecting to win consistently as there is a house edge and no strategy would work on games where there is a house edge, even the martingale strategy.

I never think to use a specific strategy because I really know that dice games would need the luck to win, so I prefer to use random or play with no strategy. That will good for you if you don't think or chase the winning, and you only want to play gambling because of having fun reasons and enjoy the game. But maybe that strategy will work for some people because they also have their luck and that luck can come to them so they can win the games.
You have to choose your game if you are really going to focus your time on it and try to find success and it's possible on games like sports betting not in dice. Personally, I am also playing dice from time to time, but I prefer not to spend much time on dice as I can just rely on my luck here, sometimes we win sometimes we lose, its not something that if we focus we can improve ourselves here.

4059  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: March 30, 2020, 06:10:00 AM
Pay per view can still work if it is money they will need.
It is better than nothing right?

Even though it's always about the bottom line for NBA, I strongly doubt the games will ever resume even with no crowd until there is a viable solution, vaccine perhaps. If there is some sort of containment, how then would they be sure of the players not being infected or what would be interval of players undergoing test again in cases of reinfection, as I don't presume being infected once would make immune to reinfection.

Pay-per-view revenue for these NBA teams won't be enough aside from losing ticket sales they are also losing a lot of commercial revenue especially when the Play offs and NBA Finals come since this is one of their strongest peaks when it comes to revenue, why? Even if they have continued the games on an empty court there will be no commercial sales happening when a lot of their markets (countries) are on lockdown technically all of their NBA stores and affiliates will be close and won't be generating revenue for them. NBA teams and owners would likely push back the suspension even further until things clears up for them to generate revenue just to maybe break even from the losses they will have because of the pandemic.

They can continue the season but the question is when? Is the US already find the way to stop the pandemic and to put things in control again?
I think as long as people are still not safe outside, the NBA season will not resume its normal games, the idea that they will play in an empty court is just to continue the play and to cope up a bit on their schedule, that's what I understand.
4060  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is like day trading ? on: March 29, 2020, 11:12:50 AM
Problem is, a lot of people see gambling as a way to make money, and to test their luck.
This could be true because they are seeing people making money in gambling although they really don't know if such people are really having more wins that loses in gambling, sometimes gamblers just look at the bright side and that's why most of them failed to consider the risk that resulted to making bad decision in their gambling journey.


Problem is a lot of people also do the same for Trading. And they think with a few strategies (like in gambling) they can make profit.
Compared to gambling, I think trading is boring, this is not a game so less people are attracted to this and if they lose they'll just quit right away.
In gambling, they feel the challenge as the game is easy to understand and its entertaining, so they got hook up.
