While I know that Sabonis is a good player and no doubt with that but I don't think that he'll be eligible to play for the Team USA as he's played for Lithunia, CMIIW. As for Paul George, I agree on this one but the roster's been lock and good luck to USA team to the Olympics.

It's possible, I just hope that he won't get that career destroying injury just as what happened to the many aspiring greatest players but then, lost it all when they've contained it. And speaking of him, congratulations to him for being part of the Team USA.

Team USA has released their roster for the upcoming 2024 Olympics.


Who do you think should have been there?

Now a part of gambling and professional sports history. Porter did himself a favor by thinking that while betting, he can maneuver the game as he's a player of that bet of his own.

And this is getting spicier, a parlay of $80k.. That's sick and he'd really do anything he can to win that bet and not the game itself if he's betting against his team.

Normally, we cry when we've worked hard the money that we used to gamble. And upon losing it, it's not just about losing the money but also losing all of the times that we've spent for earning that money and that's why we become emotionally which is normal when we realize at the end how we lost a lot even if the amount we gambled is small for the others. No effort can be par with that amount when it includes our time, effort, energy and attention.

I haven't watched a game yet but the same feed back I've heard and read that MPBL games are more fun than PBA but of course, this thread is PBA but Greg was PBA as well so, that's still a consideration though.

When the known teams like a decade or more ago has been gone, there's something else to the league that had made them disappointed and out of the league. Because it's always been the top and known teams always get the title and it is not surprising if more teams does this in the near future.

Yeah, that under the table is making sense in the PBA. It's not a secret that it's happening mostly in MVP and SMC teams, they don't even want to trade those players as they're closed with contracts until they finally end and no longer in use for the team. Just like what happened with Greg, his contract ended and got an offer to play in B League but because he can't stay there for so long and want to be with his family, it's good to see him play on MPBL and has still a good offer and contract.

While it's a league that everyone should be excited for and there's the record of history that this is the oldest one. Nowadays, people are not worrying with what it has got. And with the news that I've seen that they're giving free tickets, no one cared at all. This crazy meta of the SMC and MVP teams reigning PBA is what made the fans angry about it. For how many years, it's always like this. I want PBA to be great again but looking at it right now, they deserve the lowness of it and the criticism of fans, we fans deserve better PBA, better management.

If they have the money, they can. But just balance all of those players and teams unlike PBA, they're saying they have salary cap but it's all just a show and greater and superstar players are receiving more than the cap.

It's okay if they're looking at that without plans, the league will die eventually and when they will take actions, it's too late. They think that they can always milk the Filipino fans with their kinds of games that they can be bought with the decisions of farm teams and unfair trades. If it's like the PBA before where every team was very competitive, the fans will be liking each and everyone of it. I don't see the reason of being digital and online as a sign that the viewership has declined a lot. The Filipino baller fans just don't like this kind of league anymore with how they operate it.

That's actually good for them. Before it was like everyone is dreaming to play for the PBA but now, it's just an option and there are better salaries and opportunities offshore and even with our local leagues like MPBL, Pilipinas Super League and others.

MPBL is gaining the popularity and more audiences and fans are going there. So, if PBA won't do anything that's interesting and they keep on repeating this sequence coming from the playoffs, semi finals and finals, there's no doubt that they'll be lessened as the oldest basketball league in Asia and will be overtaken by it. Because in the sense of PBA, there's no more competitive drama on it and it's like we all know what's going to be the result of most games up to the season's finals.

Exactly, it's just hard to accept that this pro league and known to our country has been getting out of the talks and started to be ignored by the young talents that we're having. And with that, those talents are bringing more viewership to the offshore leagues that we're seeing like KBL and B League. Monopoly and bad management from the current commissioner should be changed and there should be a competition for him to be replaced.

Happy to be part of this again

Parang hindi naman sila na alarma kasi malaking pera ang napupunta sa kanila. Naalala ko sa panahon ng pandemic na parang walang magagawa si Digong dati at hinayaan lang muna ang mga online gambling na yan dahil malaking tax ang binabayaran lalo na sa mga POGO at yung mga gambling business at pasabong ni Atong Ang. Walang pagtatanggi na may malaking pakinabang ang gobyerno sa kanila kaya hangga't maaari ay hinayaan niya lang muna kasi panahon pa ng mga ayuda yun. Pero pinatigil din niya. At sa mga kasalukuyang mambabatas parang wala naman akong nakikitang pangil sa kanila kasi posibleng lahat sila ay nakikinabang at baka nga mag endorse pa sila na dapat tangkilikin ng mga tao.

Going on with PBA anniversary and giving tickets, it doesn't seem to work and every Filipino fans are already aware of what's going to happen when we see the big three teams that are part of the playoffs or semis. If you guys will rotate with PBA posts and topics posted on social media, you'd see people are just giving them a 'haha' reaction because it doesn't make sense anymore for them to retrieve the trust of the fans watching the live games. Yes, there are now telecasts through livestreams but still, look at the other sports that have been loved by the fans. Despite that, watching live games are still giving a different experience but not anymore with PBA. Most of the comments that I've seen were that they want Kume to be replaced by another one to give PBA another taste to the fans and make it alive more if he's been replaced.

That happened for me as well but with a different website but I guess contacting the support to address the issue is just the first step.

Sad to say that they've got a history of having a bad reputation from the forum and if you're looking for a good lawyer then all you have to do is to contact and do more research about it. I know that you've just shared here for the sake of trying to get some advise and tip from the other gamblers that might have faced the same thing. On the other hand, you clearly admitted that you're an addicted gambler and losing $1.4M in just 2 nights is insane.

I have no time for that, if I lose then it's the same as throwing thrash to the garbage can and that will be forgotten forever. But I understand that many still that do track their progress to see if there's something good happening on them. With the losses that I am having, it's best to have it forgotten so that I can easily move on and that's the reason why I think that it's best to not to track my progress and most importantly, as long as I am not addicted then I am good.

It's probably because they earn well as they gamble and they have figured it out that they don't have to go to any job. But that's their life, if they gamble all night long and sleep all day long then that's how their lifestyle is and we can't control them for doing so. As long as they know what they are up to and they are gambling with their own funds, it doesn't matter anymore as they do it for themselves and not for everyone. As for me, I'd like to still gamble and work to support all of my activities including gambling.

Yeah, whatever it is then it's always about the money and when it talks, relationships are ending and whoever is the one that has the advantage of taking huge part, they'd surely go down and far just to take what's for them. This isn't the first time, we'd see more of these stories in the nearest future.

There is this roster that's being posted by an MPBL team that they're including Greg Slaughter on their roster and on some other team, another PBA player that will be playing for them as well, I just forgot the name of him. Apart from that, is it true that CTB will be coaching Converge soon and gonna replace coach Ayo?

No more news about him signing or whatnot because both parties don't agree to the terms of each other.

Yeah, that's useless and addicted gamblers are mostly in denial when they're being asked if they're addicted or not so it's not really going to work when you try to help them but they don't want to help themselves. But those that have nice stories and able to overcome their addiction and have totally left gambling, they're the ones who have admitted that there's something wrong with themselves and they can't defeat gambling.

I have never tried them but I've seen them like years ago but never attracted me to do so. I don't like how it goes as it's like you're going to talk to a bot for you to get some access. I don't like how it goes with it but still, there are still a lot in existence but I wonder if they've got a lot of customers as most of us are a fan of the traditional online casino setup because they're easier to navigate and they've got more users.

Well, if that's the matter then the guy just have to let it go and all the money will go to the woman. But that's what the man don't want to happen and if they're truly split already and their relationship can't go back. It's just best for them to have a talk as going to courts with this matters will take a lot of time and as well as money from them. Although the money is no longer an issue to them as they'd just deduct any expenses from the jackpot they've won.
