Speaking of game 7, I would like the Dallas vs OKC and Pacers vs Knicks series to be extended to a game 7 as well.

I like the Knicks vs Pacers series but I don't want the Dallas to have a game 7, LOL.. sorry mate, I can't agree with you because I have a bet on the series, and it would be scary if the game will go back to OKC where the crowd will be supporting the young team in that game. Dallas should consider game 6 as their last game, they can't miss that opportunity, otherwise they'll have to handle a lot of pressure in game 7.

Crowd support is proven not effective on this series since they both kicking each other asses on the opponent home court.

I believe they are now countering each other strategy on every game so there’s a high chance that series with close game will probably extend to game 7 because they will just keep adjusting per game.

I will not be surprised if all the remaining matches on round 2 will be on game 7 since all of them has a tight match.

As expected on the remaining matches, Pacers manage to bounce back and get game 6 with their balance performance to beat the Knicks since the start of 2nd quarter.

This is the beauty of having all players contributing in both offense and defense which Pacers showed on this game. I will not be surprised if OKC will get game 6 too to force game 7 on their series.

talaga mate? unregistered number sinasagot mo kabayan? ako kasi  minsan sumasagot ako ng calls na hindi naka add sa number mobile ko pero pag unregistered number ? teka kabayan meron pa din bang ganong number now kasi alam ko hindi na nagagamit ang simcard na hindi registered dba? sorry di kasi ako familiar.
yang mga international calls na experienced ko yan nung mga nakaraang panahon pero now hindi na ganon kasi  mula nung nagkaron na ng new sim registration .

Kahit naman official call from bank ay through unregistered number since gumagamit sila ng mga mobile phone para macontact ma customer. Malalaman mo nalang na legit agent ang kausap mo based sa protocol since hindi sila manghihingi ng sensitive information kagaya ng OTP, Card number at iba pa. Bali mga basic info lng tatanungin nil dapat such personal info par maverify identity mo.

Ito yung ineexploit ng mga scammer since ginagaya nila ang protocol ng mga legit agent sabay ipapasok yung scam attempt later on.

Let's say you have a job that gives you the option to have your salary paid in BTC, ETC, or any other cryptocurrency, would you prefer that or would you rather still be paid in fiat? If you'd prefer crypto payment, which currency would you choose and why?

This would be your hard-earned money that can either grow on its own or shrink in value within a small time.

I preferred fiat since I have expenses that needs to be paid via fiat such as monthly electricity, water and insurance bills. Choosing crypto as salary will be too hassle since I need to convert it back to fiat and pay for fees just to withdraw it.

At least on fiat salary, I have the freedom on when can I purchase my crypto holdings without the need to pay for fees on conversion since monthly bills is necessities not an option payment.

Unless crypto can be use directly pay bills.

Matagal ko ng gustong magpakabit ng solar panels kaso sobrang mahal ng mga estimate kaya lagi akong nadidiscourage since may life expectancy ang solar panels lalo na kapag wala na ang warranty.

@OP sa tingin ko ay mas makakatulong kung magpro2vide ka ng sample costing estimation gamit ang typical roof area ng 100sqm na bahay since ito naman ang average floor area ng mga bahay para magkaroon ng idea ang viewer sa potential price cost ng panels nyo.

But he didn't grow that initial bitcoin amount though, he just took out the $56 from the increase of the value of his bitcoin holdings, it's not a good thing for him at the long run, maybe telling them to do stuff like buying back when the price is low might be of big help so they don't succumb to something that would make them enjoy short-term gains but end up with almost no profits at the long-term.

At the end of the day, Your goal in trading is to increase your fiat capital since that is the value you are using to purchased using your money. Bitcoin value is being measured in fiat amount and not in Bitcoin quantity since no merchant accepts Bitcoin directly for it value but rather they convert it to fiat value as standard currency.

Also he can still increase his Bitcoin holdings once the price corrects which is highly possible to happened on this very volatile market.

Anyone here who retired with Gambling winnings ?  If not, how much you think is sufficient to retire as Gambling winning ?

I have no idea what you're saying; all I know is that there are some who have won jackpots in gambling who have made the right decision to stop gambling because what they won was allocated to businesses that can produce profit for them.

But there are some stories of people who won millions of dollars in gambling, but in the end, because they did not get addicted to gambling, they also ended up losing the millions they won in the world of casino gambling.

He probably pertaining to lottery winners that won mega jackpot using small amount. Winning millions of dollar is almost impossible to achieve on casino games using small amount since most of the casino games has a 1:1 payout ratio while those who pays high multiplier didn’t have a 1:1M payout ratio that will make someone a millionaire on one lucky bet.

Those users that won millions and lose it all probably are those players that has huge bankroll that makes a million profit is just x2 more or less of their bankroll that’s why they keep pursuing to play more to increase their profit.

Recently naka experience ako nito nung nagexpire ang credit card ko tapos ay may scammer alam na may newly received ako na credi card while inoofferan nya ako na iclaim yung bonuses nung previous card.

At first hindi ako nagduda since alam nya ang full details ko including address kung saan pinadala ang credit card. Nagduda lang ako nung nanghihingi na sya ng OTP which is from grab pay dahil sa grab wallet daw nya ilalagay yung reward points.

Sa experience ko na ito ay naisip ko lng na maaari din iton mangyari sa mga P2P users since exposed ang complete details natin including mobile number at bank account kaya pwede tayong maging biktima ng mga ganitong scammer. May naka experience na dn ba ng ganitong scam attempt dito?

Ohhh! Never ever give away your OTP to anyone since yan na ang last layer of security mo against illegal transactions.

Let's face it- every time we pay using our card whether online transaction or even kahit sa mga restaurants, there is always that tendency na makuha nila yung personal details, number, and yung number sa likod ng ating respective cards. That is the reason on why OTP was created; to at least provide one last step of security just to confirm yung transaction.

Good thing OP na naisip mo agad regarding sa scheme nila. Even if there is an institution claiming to know your details and saying na may rewards/bonuses sila, they will never ever ask for your OTP.

Let this be a reminder to anyone na ang mga scammers ngayon ay nag eevolve na. They can definitely create schemes like this one to induce us into believing na isa silang legitimate na institution but in reality mga scammer talaga.

Medyo cautious kasi talaga ako pagdating sa mga bank account ko including credit cards since mataas ang limit ko. Ang nakakapagtaka lang tlaga sa scammer na ito kaya ko napagtanto na baka may inside job dito since alam mismo ng scammer yung exact date at address kung saan pinadal yung bagong credit card.

At first tinulungan nya pa ako na mag activate ng card ko then saka nya pinasok yung bonus rewards daw sa previous card ko na itra2nsfer dw nya through voucher or cash. Everything is smooth since normal bank protocol ang ginagamit nya until nanghingi na sya ng OTP which is red flag.

Nabasa ko sa social media na madami ng nabiktima yung mga ganitong scammer kaya doble ingat tayo mga kabayan.

No doubt about this now we have few good numbers of casino and sports betting sides which are offering good limit with two are best in business with I usually prefer Spotsbet.io even they love to pass KYC for their members and same are happening with Stake.com these are currently best sites for having all our gambling stuff with good reputation and also support is quick to check all things related to accounts and betting, so anyone can go here for his any limit bet as we have few days back one person with his huge bets and good wins which he withdrew quickly without any problem which is best for the all community.

Most of the popular sportsbook that have announcement thread in forum usually have a higher limit and has an instant withdrawal even with high amount of bets. But the main question here is the betting behavior of the OP since he was limited on the old casino that he is using for unknown reason.

Casino like sportsbet and Stake has a lot of case for limiting the bet amount of user due to the provider restrictions for a confidential reason. There’s a still chance that he might be limited and restricted even on the most trusted sportsbook here if he is using some strategy which the bookie doesn’t allowed such as arbitrage bet.

But in general, Most of the sportsbook here have a high limit that can provide what the OP needs since he is not betting above 100K per bet.

Bitlucy! It runaway my funds that I get from their promotion because I’m idiot to leave my funds on the casino because I’m confident that they will not runaway because they have active campaign here. I’m surprised that they turn into scam immediately few months after their introduction here in the forum.

I have other worst experience on scam casino but it’s back on the days which casino doesn’t have license and only offers dice game. I can’t remember the names anymore but they delayed the withdrawal until the casino close.
511  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Casino Community Service Possible? on: May 16, 2024, 02:31:01 PM
I have been wondering if ever any casino have engaged in a community service before or planning to do so. So far, I understand that casinos pay taxes and these tax are used by the government for running the state affairs but I was curious to know if it is possible because I have never seen it or heard about any casino doing such before or if any have started doing it. You can make it known here for us to see.

If this step is taken to render community service by casinos, it would make a difference and that casino would forever be recorded in the book of history to have done such or joined the list of the few casinos to have done such if any have really done that before.

If you think this is not a new thing or there are casinos doing this, you could please drop the link here or material or facts for us to see for ourselves and applaud the casino for that singular act of theirs.

There’s a lot of physical casino in our country that do a lot of charity and community works as way of giving back to the community and also as part of their marketing.

So fr I don’t see any crypto casino that do this kind of community service but Physical do tjis frequently since they need to promote their business to gain customers for good.

Also national lotteries usually donate part of the profits on charity works like in my country. It funds Philippines Heart Center and they have a foundation to help people in need.

A little advice to Metawin team - You have live casinos added on Metawin. For example, I click on Evolution Live and I see all tables with RTPs. I think it will be good if you add bet range for each table and if you also let people to filter tables according to minimum or maximum bet. Now I have to manually sit on each table and chek bet range from there.

You can use Evolution Gaming Lobby to browse games if you want to see the minimum bet  on each game without manually entering the table using the Metawin live game browser.

AFAIK, There’s no casino that currently do this since there’s already a lobby for the live game provider that gives this specific details on the game but this will be good addition if Metawin can show the min bet on each live games without entering the lobby.
513  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why People Naturally Chase loses in gambling.. on: May 16, 2024, 09:08:02 AM

So, from your own understanding, what do you think makes people chase loses aside greed which I believe many of us are already familier with?.

I believe it’s a natural reaction of human to get back what he lose since they are attached on the money that they lose even though we keep saying to gamble only what you can afford to lose. This is the reason why casino is a thriving business since it’s a natural human behavior to chase what is lose while gambling games will gives a sure loss to players.

That’s why it’s important to gamble only for entertainment purposes to avoid being attached to the money being lose since you will surely aim to get it back on your next gambling session whether you like it or not since it’s your money.

I don’t consider it as greed alone but an attachment to the money especially if it’s earned through hard work of labor.
514  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does pragmatic play bonus buy really worth it? on: May 15, 2024, 05:24:20 PM
I have played live blackjack at stake.com at Pragmatic Play for a long time and still do occasionally. It is very enjoyable but it must be admitted that it is very addictive. I've made a lot of profit here and a lot of times I've lost a lot too, so on average I'm losing quite a bit if everything is calculated. I became so addicted to it that once I took a loan from the bank and then gambled. It was a bad experience for me. I also shared a story about this here. Pragmatic games is very enjoyable but much addictive.

The subject here which the OP referring was the slot game of Pragmatic since he is pertaining to bonus buy based on his inquiry while Blackjack is part of their live games program which obviously doesn’t have a bonus buy.

All Pragmatic games both live games and slot games are indeed addictive because of the crisp graphics they are using to all their games for an easy eye catching feature to customers. I still doesn’t experience playing the live games and slot games first hand because it’s restricted to my country to play on this provider but I enjoy watching streamers playing these slot games especially sweet bonanza and other candy theme games.

It is true that investing in Newly Launched project is very difficult to get profit because in today's most of them are scammer. But I also thought that if we not give the chance to a new project then how will we find the next bests. But I think investing in new coming project should be lower in starting.

It depends on what kind of new project you are investing because you can use VC and other private investors as reference on how legitimate the project is since this huge funding company will never invest on scammy project due to the amount of money involved.

We can use Celestia(TIA) as reference for new project that becomes successful by having a strong VC supporting their fundings during the initial phase of project development. There’s a lot of project like this that has a very good run since the initial listing on exchange.

But ofc there’s tons of scam projects that’s why we need to filter them using the most common sign of legit project.

There is another one that I read today that people thought he ran away with people's money but he later confessed that he lost it to gambling. It is about a solana-based cypher developer, he confesses that he lost $300K of user funds to gambling.


SBF alleged to play blackjack using the exchange funds right before the bankruptcy. There’s no confirmation for this news but this is possible to happened since it’s very easy to move money from reserves on crypto since there’s no name on wallet address unless it will sent on KYC services who owns the address.

I remember one of my long time friend in social media holds our fund for long term savings. He gamble it all on a dice game and lose it without our permission. He is currently off the radar after the loss.

The moral of the story is people in crypto is very prone to gamble funds especially if they are short for funds while they have others money in their hand. @Yogg is the perfect example here since he break the trust if his customers by redeeming his product just to gamble it away.

The Denver Nuggets held on for the victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Nuggets were eating them up on both ends of the floor. Their defense was all over Anthony Edwards all night long doubling him on the perimeter and not letting him get up shots. On the other end they were making Gobert look like he couldn’t guard anyone, embarrassing the defensive player of the year.

They can’t stop anymore Jokic while at the same time gave space to his teammates. Jokic already knew how to break the defense of Timberwolves which is he was struggling before during game 1 and game 2. Anthony Edwards can’t do it alone especially the scoring if his teammates can’t defend well Jokic on the other side.

Jokic footwork is very hard to defend now even with Gobert great defense. It will be a reverse sweep if they can’t find away to lockdown Jokic on creating space for his team.

All series are tied except for Boston and Cleveland. Boston will win game 5 for sure, just like they did against the Miami Heat. It's hard to predict whether the Pacers or Knicks will win their series, but either team will be easy for the Celtics to beat. I think the Celtics can sweep either the Pacers or the Knicks.


Sadly for Cleveland, If only Mitchell is not injured they might possibly extend this series for a potential game 7 since their current roster still gives Boston a hard time. Cleveland only lacks the ability to play efficiently on crucial quarter that’s why they can’t finish the game with W.

Quote
As for Dallas and Oklahoma, hopefully OKC wins the series in game 6. I'm tired of Luka Doncic flopping all game and missing crucial free throws. 🤦‍♂️

It’s really sucks to missed that 1 free throw but I think OKC defense on the last 2 minutes is the one kill them since they have other opportunity after missing that 1 free throw to tie the game but they can’t penetrate OKC defense. SGA mid jumper kills them.

The case he filed against the casino was settled probably on his favor but the damage is too much for the mere settlement for his case. The guy is once the richest man in Nebraska then blow up everything with a few years of high stake gambling.

I believe the casino should be party responsible to this since they knew how huge the money this guy lose yet they continue to offer him a huge credit line to gamble even though the intoxication is clearly visible.

If your salary was not US dollars, but USDT, would you dare to ask for it? Although USDT can facilitate transfers and cross-border payments, thinking about the fluctuations and risks makes me feel a little panicked! It can’t be used everywhere in daily life, What do you think? Come and chat!

Why you will need a fake USD in the form of USDT while USD is more convenient for an instant use of your salary. Also USDT frequently depegging which means you will earn slightly less if you choose USDT instead of direct USD.

You can easily deposit fiat on CEX since the P2P feature on exchange gives you the option to place an order wit( your desired price so you don’t need to rely on USDT and just purchase the crypto that you want using your fiat. USDT is a very shady stable coin which is not worthy to use as substitute to fiat when it comes for salary purposes.
