I use to remember those strategy during the old days of playing dice, something similar that since you think that you can't lose more than 5x in a 98% losing streaks then you'll just keep adding to your bet size to recover your loses only to find out that there's no assurance that the kind of losing streaks will take place.

You'll just ends up regretting that kind of strategy and lose a lot of money, thinking that it will bring something decent but in return it's just another bad time with your gambling sessions.
Can you imagine how many people could get rich with this strategy if it worked, but for every player, even with a large gaming bank, their losing streak will come, which will make winning impossible for them. I don't even know if this strategy has worked for anyone, because it turns out that if you apply it constantly, it will only be a matter of time before another streak occurs, that will last long enough to empty the entire deposit.
I have lost to a point I began to doubt if gambling was actually for me. Losing streak is not a sweet experience, it drains the individual both financially and emotionally. Many people just increase their amount per bet when they lose with the hope of getting their money back and this further sink them into deeper losses just like @Fredomago explained. Understanding how gambling work, every gambler must be sensitive to know when they are experiencing losing streak and that the best thing to do in such a time is to reduce the amount of play per bet or possibly stop gambling for some time.

Yes, if you find yourself in a deep hole better to find ways to stop and quit, instead of pushing forward,  it's a best practice to make sure that you are still in control,  many gamblers lose a lot since  they think that the strategy will work for them only to find out that it's just draining their balance and by aggressions inside them, they will keep adding more and lose it to the house. So better to be aware and not to fall with that same situation.

We are desperate to see the PBA go back to its old days in terms of popularity, so I hope they'll listen to the people as they can read a lot of suggestions and criticism, that means people are still caring on the PBA and they don't want this oldest basketball league to close because team owners are not getting the benefits of what they have invested anymore.

There are still time and I know if they'll really work on it it's possible because they have funds and these giant teams are gonna help to make it happen. You know, the owner of MOA could benefit since games are held in that venue, so with people interested in watching the game because PBA is competitive again, they can easily get their investment.

The major team owners are capable of funding to improve this league, but it seems like they are not doing anything when people are not coming to the venue. Just like in the past, people can also watch the game on live tv but the arena is full, but nowadays, it's not what we are witnessing so they should do something else.

Anyway, we have already comment our suggestion, let's go back to the present.  Today, I read another post in facebook about Mikey Williams, his name popped up again but there's no positive news, still he is not interested going back to manila to play with TNT.

By the way guys, I read an article about Jericho Cruz very positive about sweeping all the teams in the Filipino cup, and as we all know, SMB is still undefeated with 9-0 record.

Moving back to the current topic, I guess Mikey Williams issue is no longer a thing even with TNT's fans, his attitude towards the league should not be tolerated, though he really have that talents and skills but playing only when you wanted to play and demanding for something that over-exceeding from what the league is permitting that's not good from both the team and the league image if they will allow this kind of treatment coming from Williams.

In terms of Cruz opinion or statement, with their current stats it can be done for my personal opinion, SMB is a complete package squad when everyone is healthy, they can compete even with the National team if they will play a tune up game against them, as long as they can keep thei original players and let the remaining National to play against them.

I do not think they will listen because they do not need to be corrected what they need is to realize how wrong they are with the thought of gambling to earn as their primary source of income..
As long that kind of mindset is still imprinted to their minds they will never get to listen what everybody is trying to say, this is base on my own personal experience with dealing to a person which was my former co-worker in the same department who quit and resigned his job because he hit big in gambling and he tried to continue his living by doing more of the gambling work. We have not seen for a long time now but I heard he is now working again to a different company in which he again started at the bottom position.
Different person will have different threshold, if you're get paid for $1K per month, but you win $100K from gambling, most people will resign because they think their jobs aren't worth it anymore. However, when someone don't have experience to manage big amount of money, they usually spend their money for unnecessary thing and believe it's a good investment.

That's why someone who won a lottery mostly back become poor because they can't manage their money.
This is why if you’re into gambling, you should learn to balance it as well with making some investments. Once you make big winnings, proceed with planning on a potential investment that can be highly profitable and sustainable, that way even if you lose at times with gambling, at least you are also generating some decent profits from your investment. And with that, you can also make an assurance to yourself that your winnings will not be wasted, and won’t live again facing a lot of financial issues.

This kind of mindsets will allow you to make something decent in terms of finacial side, if you know how to make a good use of your winnings then it will give you that opporrtunities to create good source of income, something that you can generate more money and while you are still involve into gambling it can also helps to sustain your needs.

Though there are times that we really have that incorrect approach into gambling, something that lead us to overexceed our finances and lose a lot.

And adding to that, we are just doing the same mistake being move by greed and aim to win more instead of enjoying what we already achieved.

Even if you set a dice game at 98% chance of win there's still 2 % that you will lose your bet, and that's not zero, my friends.

What happens is that the OP talks about bad streaks and if you have a 98% chance of winning a game a bad streak will not last long. ~

It's a dangerous assumption, my friend. Let's imagine someone stakes $1,000 to have a "sure win" of $10 betting with 98% win chance. A bad luck strikes and he loses his bet, $1,000. Then he thinks? "I can't lose two times in a row with 98% win chance, right?" So, he stakes $100,000 this time to"surely" win his $1,000 back. And bad luck strikes again and he loses his $100k. Now, to recover $100k he needs to bet $10 million with 98% win chance. Would you, being in his place, borrow $10,000,000 somewhere and make that bet? I wouldn't advise doing that.

I use to remember those strategy during the old days of playing dice, something similar that since you think that you can't lose more than 5x in a 98% losing streaks then you'll just keep adding to your bet size to recover your loses only to find out that there's no assurance that the kind of losing streaks will take place.

@btc_angela. This is what has been said by only the very few of the boxing fans in boxing forums and the fans in bitcointalk.org might be thinking that this is only a conspiracy theory if we mention it hehehee. If King Ry did not win against Devin Haney, I reckon everyone would remain to think that this is only a conspiracy theory. It is headshaking. Much of these fans want to think and only accept Tank Davis has won without speculating why and how. We were scammed by Tank. We should not support this type of person.

There’s no doubt Tank had an unfair advantage but Ryan bears some responsibility for agreeing to those terms. Canelo and Floyd have used similar tactics before, but it has not had much impact on their legacy. For me it diminishes their accomplishments, which is why I consider Beterbiev, Nakatani, and Bivol better pound for pound fighters than Canelo, even though many lists have him third only behind Inoue and Crawford.

I think Ryan has no choice though, he is the B-side on that negotiations and we can say that he just wanted to fight Tank Davis. And there could be upside as well for him as far as PPV revenues and live gates and that's why he said yes.

And he just try to make it real but telling the public that there is a rehydration clause and Davis camp didn't disagree with him and they justify that Ryan is too big for Tank that's why they inserted it in the contract. And most likely why Tank as much as he had that superstar power, is still behind with some fighters that you mentioned as far as greatness is because he just wanted to protect his 0 at all cost.

Ryan sees an opportunity to make a big paycheck once he fight Tank Davis and it did happen. What's in the contract are valid, and since the fight happen, that means both have agreed to it, so Ryan could not come up with excuses on why he lose to Tank Davis. But that's the past, Ryan have live up his name now after he defeated Haney which is of his own size, and if we think that Ryan and Davis will meet again, then I think this controversy or excuses will come alive again, better these two will just move or stay to the weight limit they are comfortable with so they can always give their best to win.

Yes, in terms of money matters Ryan sees that opportunities and he did not let it pass though the outcome is not for him but he got his paycheck and he enjoy that millions, though it bring him down in terms of carrier but he manage to bring his name up again after winning his previous fight, you just need to move along and for sure most of them are all aiming for a good paycheck and willing to take that big risk for the sake of money.

Just need to keep moving forward and try more open opportunities, he got his name up and for sure he will convert more money while being in the hots spot.

It looks like i'm the only one hoping for the Timberwolves to sweep since I have them to win (@1.96). I'm not confident about the Suns having the same urgency as the Lakers to win a game, and I think the odds on the Timberwolves are still too good given they haven't kept the margins close. It'd be nice if the Suns could prove me wrong by extending the series to a game five, but i'll always take the Timberwolves knowing the Suns rarely clutch it up whenever they're the favorites.



Congrats with your bet, as Wolves completed the sweep ANT provides them 40points showing his idol that he's now a grown up man who can deliver important basket, that slam dunk which give them extra edge really the highlghts of the game, managing to escape the defense of Beal and dunk it in front of KD that's really something that will hype his name up.

Moving now to the second round and will face another tough challenge, let see if how they will proceed on thier campaign to win a title.

On the other games, Lakers escaped repeating their last time result, extending the series to game 5 and hope that they will continue to extend agaisnt the defending champ, while both Indiana and NYC needed one more win to move forward to their next rounds.

Ok naman ang announcement ng Binance pero ang huling desisiyon ay nasa SEC sila kasi ang ang mag aapruba ng application ng Binance, and announcement na ito ng Binance ay on their part pa lang ibig sabihin gumagawa o gagawa sila ng paraan para muling makabalik sa market ng  Pilipinas.

Pero nasa Binance pa rin ang huling baraha sila pa rin ang magpapasya kung ok na at wala ng restriction sa Binance, sana lang wag abutin ng matagal at maproban na ang application ng Binance kung meron man.
Sana nga lang talaga ay hindi magtagal yan, pero sa dami ng issue ng Binance ngayon hindi lang dito sa bansa natin, malamang abutin yan ng ilang buwan depende nalang kung gaano kabilis nila maproseso at maresolba lahat ng issue na kinakaharap nila.

Pero gaya nga ng sabi mo, nasa SEC pa din ang huling desisyon, kung ano ung mga demand nila at ano ang irerequire nila sa Binance para makapag start na ulit mag operate sa Pinas.

Sa tingin ko naman kung aaregluhin nila talaga yan eh walang mabagal na proseso sa tamang presyo, hehehe nasa pilipinas kasi tayo at alam natin yung mga karamihan sa nakapwesto basta may nakuha ng pakinabang kayang kaya na nilang baguhin ang direksyon ng nirereklamo nila, sana lang gawan agad ng aksyon ng management ng Binance baka kasi mas mabilis ung sa atin kumpara dun sa ibang kaso nila sa iba't ibang bansa na hinahabol din sila sa same issue nila.

Many times we get impatient. We should not be impatient. We want to make money but if we want to make money overnight we have to face loss so we always have to trade slowly and patiently only then we can be successful.

That's why the type of trading plan and strategy that you have should be in the light of the type of your personality. Because if you are trading longer term, then you will have less exposure in the market. You won't appreciate it if you want to trade everyday and  you are more inclined of not following your plan and being impatient. Also, there's a very different style for investing, which means long term trading is not investing.

That's why you cannot just copy other people's trading. You must tweak it until it resonates with you.

You need to work with your own understanding, though it helps a lot that you are walking with the patterns that someone already succeed, but without tweaking things out, there's no way that you will accurately duplicate or immitate the same outcome, there are things behind each strategy and those who created it always have back up plans in case things won't work and they can easily change it when it needed the most.

you have all the resources but you still need that determination to keep seeking for the best ways to anticipate with better accuracy and keeps learning the process.
589  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich or poor gambler, who should risk more? on: April 29, 2024, 06:42:43 AM

Ordinarily, a rich gambler have more resources to spend and risk into the gambling games than the poor gamblers but does not imply that they must take more risk, because everything depends on the habit or character of the individual involved.

Maybe your opinion is correct, indeed rich gamblers already have a lot of money so they can easily gamble without any obstacles whatsoever and for poor gamblers it is certain that if they want to gamble they have to think first about dividing the money for their daily needs and leaving some money behind. money to gamble when you want to play.
Yes, and for rich and poor gamblers, they both have to have proper self-control so that when they enter the world of gambling, they don't take too much risk there by gambling excessively.

Though there's similarities in terms of risk and the possibilities that both rich and poor will be engage and become addicted, but in terms of capabilities to play without thinking that much is in favor of rich gamblers, same with your arguments, rich people can easily deposit as they don't need to budget their finances in terms of allocating amount of money for their bankroll,

 while with poor gamblers, if they need to address other things before playing, they need to divide the money that they've got then use portion of it for gambling.

Things in terms of capabilities might be different but gambling is gambling and we can't deny that risk is always present.

590  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich or poor gambler, who should risk more? on: April 28, 2024, 07:44:22 PM
If we talk about risk, Risking more or less is individually based, as risk tolerance level varies. It doesn't necessarily need to be either the rich or poor both will still face reality of loses. Nobody should risk what he isn't ready and willing to lose wether you are rich or poor, set limits.

Most at times, the poor are often found in this situation, which they see gambling as source of income, thus making gamble without limits, chasing loses, believe the fantasies of casinos.  The poor are desperate, the rich are calm and ain't moved by the losses most at times because they have other means of recovering.

In essence no one should risk more wether rich or poor, set limits and moderation, don't give room for greed.
You just made a very good point, it doesn't matter whether an individual is rich or poor cause both are still liable to lose. It's not as if an individual who is rich would not lose money when they take risks in gambling, there in what ever category any individual find themselves in they should risk whatever they won't get all emotional about. But I still insist that the wealthy people are in a better position to risk losing money cause they still got something to fall back to.

 A poor man who see gambling as a means of making money is one who's tried many means of getting financial freedom but things didn't works out and based on the fact that they heard or seen people make huge profit from it, would then decide to try their luck thereby risking all they have. But i don't think it's the right decision cause when you use all you've got to gamble, where would you fall back to in a case where it doesn't make profit.

Poor gambler mostly come to this venue in hope that they can double their money, that kind of misconceptions give that high edge for the casino owners, while in some cases their are rich gamblers who are too lazy to take that huge risk then lose their entire savings, the comparison depends from how individual treats their gambling  participations.

And yes, rich or poor got that similarities both are taking that risk and if once emotions dominates the outcome mostly not in your favor.
591  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: April 28, 2024, 07:22:54 PM
The Pelicans look like they’re cooked. They’ve got to be tired of seeing Zion sit on the sidelines at the end of every season. The Miami Heat don’t look far behind them either. The Boston Celtics are giving it to them right now. The main show for the day is getting ready to begin. Will Denver sweep the King once again on their way to a title?
Pelicans knew they were done when Zion got injured, it's not just the end of the season though. Guy is always injured. Miami screwed with Butler out and Denver will sweep Lebron and AD tonight. Maybe next year we see Lebron and Steph together.


5 minutes left in the game and looks like the Lakers will survive for a game 5. Up 15 gonna be hard for Denver to comeback from.

The Lakers were just on tonight. They shot 8% better from the field than the Nuggets did and that was enough to get them the win tonight. Deangelo Russell had a great game and so did everyone on the Lakers pretty much. I have my doubts whether or not they’ll be able to put up similar numbers next game, but for LeBron’s legacy they came through tonight.

They started hot again just like in game 2, but this time, they make it sure that they are going to held on that lead. Good to see the D'Lo was able to get over that last game performance with 0 points, as he comes back with a big game and make it sure that they are not going to be sweep by the Nuggets.

Lebron's legacy will be great if he can manage to bring the team to another win and at least force a game 6.

OKC too strong for the Pelicans, complete team, SGA again lead OKC but Josh Giddey put on a show with 21 points.

LeBron saves his ass from those critics who are waiting for another sweep, they've got a good game shooting percentages which they really need to survive against the Nuggets, seems that they find that adjustments but winning one game won't conclude the series they need 3 more to take this and snatch it from the defending champ.

coming from 3-0 then win the series, if LeBron will manage to do this his legacy will then create a new one, he's breaking records from time to time and if ever he will win another title surely fans will praise him.
592  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading is not a lifetime job. on: April 28, 2024, 07:13:19 PM
i actually think that trading cannot be used as a long-term job because it is full of uncertainty. because market conditions can change and as we get older our analysis of the market may get worse and that can have an impact on the money we trade. especially as we get older, we need a stable income that can support our lives in the future. and because of this trading may not be a wise choice as a job to earn money for older people, because they need a stable income and do not require special attention like trading.
While trading cannot be sustainable as a lifetime job, however it’s a wise decision to see it as a side hustle. Since we cannot assure that all our trades will turn into profits, then most probably we can make it only as a side hustle that can still earn massive profits especially if you have high experiences trading in the market.

There’s no need actually to see trading as a lifetime job since you can have a real stable job that will pay you fixed amount of compensation no matter what. So don’t complicate yourself, you can stay in your own day job, and you can always continue to trade as well during your free time as long as you only decide to trade when the market is suitable to trade.

If you can manage to make something decent from your side hustle, you can add those earnings for your future business ventures it can help to finance yourself while still in the first stage of your business, though sometimes there are also people who can manage to make this venue as an actual place for their money making business, those who are good in dealing with possible market movements, they are capable of having that good visions and making those good calls to make it profitable and sustain their needs.

I agree, it's not all about the ticket prices or other cost in purchasing merch, it's all about people and the supporters are losing interest with them because of repetitive teams playing in the semis, supporters know how the team plays and they can easily predict who will become the winning team, But I don't know if there's still a lot of people still watching them once it was aired on television.

There are still some but most of them are those who are betting on the games. Actually, they can reach many viewers online like their facebook stream depending on the teams that are playing, if it's Ginebra then that's guaranteed they'll get a good number of viewers.  However, there's a problem with their streaming as it's not really a live telecast but more likely a delayed telecast, that's why people would just choose to watch from the illegal streamers as they provide what people are looking for. Just imagine you are betting on a certain game but what you are watching was a delayed telecast, how can you win?

yeah right, interest even with the bettors will decrease with how the league managements taking care of their live games, just like you mentioned, why bother to bet in a certain events only to find out that the game was alreadt done, it's best for them to take a gambler with how they will bring the fans trust and interest.

If they can add more teams which is not part of the big two franchises or also not a part of the farm team, or like what we are discussing previously about inviting overseas teams which very effective the last time they offer it.

It's more on the adjustments and willingness of the management that may survive the league in terms of fans interest.

May feeling ako na sila pwedeng mag champion ngayong season, Matalo lang nila sa Conference Semi Final ang Nuggets matik sila na Champion. Kayang kaya ng Wolves ang Celtics at OKC (mga team na sa tingin ko pwedeng makatapat nila sa Conference Finals at NBA finals.

Ako feeling sa west manggagaling ang champion ulit. Magaling ang Wolves pero masyado pang maagi, kaya tingin ko Dallas or Nuggets mag champion.

Tingin ko rin masyadong pang maaga sa Wolves. Unti unti ng yumabang si Edwards eh ito pa lang naman ang chance na makaproceed sila sa pangawalang round sa playoffs. Ang Dallas naman nasa isang mahirap na series at baka di rin madali sa kanila ang OKC dahil nakabuo ng momentum sa kanilang series sa Pelicans.

Parang 50/50 ako sa Boston at Denver pagdating sa koponan na maging kampyon sa season na ito. Pero kung papiliin lang ako ng isa, pick ko ay Denver dahil meron na silang experience maging champion at subok na sila.

Kung malulusutan ng Dallas ang OKC malamang magandang banggaan yun kontra sa Nuggets tingin ko rin kasi hilaw pa ang Wolves pero malay naman natin db, baka naman sapat na yung experienced ng dalawang twin towers nila para makipagdikdikan kay Joker, pagdating naman kasi sa mga guards medyo may palag naman ang Wolves at pag nagtuloy tuloy pa yung kumpyansa/yabang ni ANT baka makatsamba sila hehehe..

I lost my parlay because of the Suns, had won the Bucks +6 but the Suns choose to go Lakers mode, and they even look worse than the Lakers as they looked like a mismatch team to the Wolves. Suns does not have a bench production, I hate to say it but that's the reality.

I was thinking they'll bounce back and have the first win at home but now they are 0-3, and with that, I think I don't have any confidence on this team so I'm not gonna be betting on them in game 4.

There's nothing that they can do against the big man of Wolves, they are really having a hard time and with how ANT is playing that kid is really especial, after Butler I guess ANT is something similar to DWade, he got that big nerve which is not afraid attacking and taking shots, I guess he should continue doing that same stuff with the teo-towers who are also playing at their best.

Suns might suffer the same fate like Lakers, there's no answer against how the opponents are dominating them, tough series but maybe they might win at home, still possible I guess.
The Suns doesn't have a legit point guard, so that alone is already a huge problem. Acquiring Bradley Beal seemed to be  bad idea as he was inconsistent in the regular season and in the playoffs is impact is not the same anymore when he was still with the Wizards. things are really tough for them now mentally, as Durant is known to be a very dominant player, have won multiple champs but was only bullied by the Timberwolves this playoffs.

I think it's time for Curry and Durant to reunite, and make the Warriors a great team again.

If possible that they reunite if Warriors managements are willing to put that huge amount to offer KD the max maybe they can bring back their old glory, though Warriors managements still have that issue with Klays extensions, not sure if they will acquire him back and give him what he deserves being one of the core of this team and manage to help in bringing those titles.

Moving back to their winning chance on this upcoming game, by pride I think KD and Booker will try everything to win a game against the Wolves.
596  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Use your winning responsibly on: April 28, 2024, 05:40:07 PM
Using our winnings wisely is the only way gamblers can fill the inner joy why they gamble and relieve themselves. You immediately use the money to settle up any pending projects. This will give you a sense of satisfaction, rather than gambling with the money again because of greed hoping to win more money end up getting frustrated.

Wise use pays off, allows room for clear judgment rather than getting emotional disturbances.

Once you experience winning, first things comes to our mind is how we will spend the money or sometimes we have a plan aleady for how or where we will use the money if we win, right? and that kind of initial thinking and reaction is valid because it is better to have that as our plan than to spend and just gamble away the money we win. we can feel the self rewarding feeling when we see the things that we can do or bought from the money we get from gambling and that is one of the wise decisions that we need to imitate so that our money does not go to waste.

Yeah, that's a common thinking as you wanted to trest yourself when you have a chance of making some money. Though not many are capable as gambler especially those who are already addicted are not that good in controlling their emotions, I guess you need to have that good determination to use the money outside gambling, as most of the time you are thinking of earning more money and become greedy when you have the chance of using the money.

But just like what you said and same with how OP manage to take care of his winning, it's the best way as opportunities is not as always as it is, so better to manage your winnings as possible as you can.
597  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction causes loss on: April 28, 2024, 05:21:29 PM
Anything that has to do with addiction will come with a penalty of losses because it will always happened at the detriments of the user involved, am not seing any personal benefit involved in gambling addiction for any reason, I don't even know if aside losses, there are still other major disadvantages of being a gambling addicts, which causes some side effects on the gambler involved, and I don't think there is any benefit attached as well to any addicted gambler, things are better done well with gambling if the gambler involved is not addicted.

Addiction is a bad thing, no matter it's gambling or any other area. If a gambler knows what his limits are then he won't be a loser. Those who got themselves addicted to gambling loses everything as number one rule of gambling is don't chase your loses. There are not many success stories associated with people who got addicted to gambling. So if you are going to gamble then make sure you do it for fun only and never get addicted of it.     

Indeed, if you can handle your addiction there's no way that you can make it and earn soemthing decent out from gambling, most of the time, you are just regretting the outcome of your actions, mismanaging your finances and make yourself attached or engage that much can result to heavy addiction, and with that issue, the chance of losing a lot of money always take place.

Better to treat gambling as source only of your entertainment part of your way to socialize or to chill and not to engage too much in hope of making money.

There's nothing that they can do against the big man of Wolves, they are really having a hard time and with how ANT is playing that kid is really especial, after Butler I guess ANT is something similar to DWade, he got that big nerve which is not afraid attacking and taking shots, I guess he should continue doing that same stuff with the teo-towers who are also playing at their best.

Suns might suffer the same fate like Lakers, there's no answer against how the opponents are dominating them, tough series but maybe they might win at home, still possible I guess.

One of the main reason why a lot of people were hating on LeBron is because he posed a threat on the goat debate/talks along with MJ and Kobe. Most people who hated him is either an MJ, Kobe, or Curry fan, but not all of them because there are those who are fan of the NBA who has no hate on his vocab but appreciate those elite players.
But honestly, I didn't put a bet on the Lakers this playoffs because I noticed that there are actually no adjustments Darvin Hamm have made for his squad. I still have faith with the them but not with their coach. Hamm can't simply pull a perfect way to execute good plays, rotations, and even the use of timeouts. I've noticed several times LeBron called time out first because Hamm don't know how to use it.

He is the current most popular player in NBA right now that’s why he always hater by the fans of other teams that he frequently destroyed before. Also he is known on forming super team just to get championships since he is the one who started it on NBA that makes many people angry on him.

Unlike Kobe and MJ who show greatness without relying on forming superteam. Lebron gets his championship due to his team and not by his own skills alone. I hate Lebron too way back when he is on Miami since they always beat my favorite team Chicago back then with his unfair super team that he keeps doing when he move back to Cleveland and Lakers.

A clear side or opinion who really have that negative feelings against him, but we can't deny the fact that he's really the next most popular player in this league after MJ and Kobe and with his capability to play still even in his age, I mean still have that skills that's something that surely haters will continue to criticize him, he don't need to prove anything as he's already not on his prime and even how tough he  will try to build another super team, if the same system will be use where he's the one that will be the main focuse of their offense I guess there's no improvement that may take place.

Better to pair him with another super star who can drive his way player alike with DWade and Kyrie, that kind of player he needs someone who can really step up when he needs help.

Very important and it is very difficult to do or maintain. This is the better way to minimize losses but it is always a challenge that a loser has to face. If you are losing while gambling, you are focus to win your back your money and so quiting for another time which is the best to keep your bankroll for next time becomes what you will not want to consider. So it is quit understandable but it is not all gambler who would see that as the next option, rather some get angry with themselves and in the anger commit all they have to continuing and eventually losing all.

It can't be denied that many gamblers can't help themselves when the gambling they do ends in defeat, where they continue to gamble after experiencing defeat because their focus in gambling is that victory is what I think about. So even when they lose, they do not hesitate to gamble again because they want to get the desired victory, and also indeed all gamblers certainly do want the victory that occurs with the gambling they do. Unfortunately they can't help themselves so they unconsciously take actions that are at great risk such as chasing victory after losing.

There are also cases where they are angry with themselves for not getting a win with the gambling they do. And their anger does lead them to take high-risk actions that put themselves at a greater disadvantage. So they bet with more money than they can afford.

Aggression which most of the time leads a person to push for more, thinking that by adding more money they'll be able to cope up with those money that they already lose but unfortunate things will continue to happen, not all but most of the time those who keeps on adding money to their bankroll with the intensions of recovering their previous losses ends up losing more, you can't think the right way when your desire is to win back your money, instead, better to quit and re-try your luck after having a quick break.
