621  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich or poor gambler, who should risk more? on: April 24, 2024, 10:27:57 AM
As far as I am concerned the poor should never take risks they are very weak financially. Even if the rich people suffer loss they can recover easily but it is not easy for the poor people. Comparing the rich and the poor is not a good thing it makes the poor worse and destroys their lives. Rich people don't mind taking risks because they have a lot of money.

Yes, but the whole joke of fate is that the poor play more and more, I hope that they will fix their financial situation. But at the same time, most of them lose out, becoming poorer and poorer. And rich people have an advantage because of their large deposit. For example, it is easy for them to take risks in poker, because it is very dangerous for those who have a small pot of chips on the table. So it turns out that the law that the Rich get richer and the poor get poorer is observed in this way. I also want to say that even if one of the poor wins money, as a rule, because of the low level of financial literacy, these poor people spend money on unnecessary nonsense.

Practicing rich gambler have that edge against those who are poor in the game, though in terms of gambling and the risk that addicted person can take there's a big similarities between the two, rich or poor if they don't have any control on their emotions means that they can push forward and lose it all, not because you are rich you can lose all if you are addicted then you might risk everything and you will find yourself with the same fate with those poor gamblers who take that all-in bets and lose everything they've got.

For the odds, I see that the odds maker make it right and didn't underestimate Jaime.

@5.10... He was underestimated for sure? This looks like a similar odds on Haney vs Garcia fight but as we all know, there was a big upset happen in that fight as Garcia came to dominate Haney. Not sure if it could happen here but we all know that anything is possible in boxing. I hope I can see a knockout, it's always entertaining to see one, and since Jaime Munguia is still undefeated and has a decent KO rate, it should not be impossible for him to knockout Canelo.

For gamblers who got a big nerve and love taking the big risk, placing bet for Munguia will surely satisfied their appetite, knowing that in gambling upset can happened, we don't know for sure if he may do that against Alvarez but then again we just watch that kind of upset previously with Garcia and Haney, though different fighters and also different breed and fighting capabilities, more on determinations and how they will prepare themselves for this fight.

Regarding to that said odd, if you are aiming for Alvarez maybe better to wait for other alternative options, which mostly shows up when the fight is nearing or in the actual live fight bookies may offer other options to gamble.
623  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you achieved anything from gambling on: April 24, 2024, 10:05:05 AM
Gambling changed my life. I used to be one person who used to be believe that I can never gamble for the money but for entertainment purposes only. I didn't know when I slowly started to show the signs of gambling addiction during the time a family member was sick and there was no money for their medical treatment. I gambled every day hoping that I would get a lucky break. It never came. The family member later got the needed financial assistance for treatment through goodwill donations but the way I looked at gambling changed. It didn't get me the money I needed in my time of desperation. The only thing I achieved is a changed of perspective that if you want money, then go out and work instead of gambling to get the money.
That is a whole lot of things to achieve because restricting yourself from being addicted is actually better than winning money. most people have won huge amount of money, and because of addiction they end up spending it back on gambling without investing or using it to make out something useful or tangible. I have actually seen someone who has won so much in gambling, but he cannot boast of something meaningful that he has done with the money, instead he continues staking with a higher amount so as to win more and also increasing his level of addiction.

my dear mate @Alphaliko i am very happy for you, because controlling your emotion is enough achievement, i  can't say for sure or not if i am addicted or not but if i can control my emotions when it comes to gambling then i can comfortably hit my chest and congratulate myself for that.

True, it's better to have that good control over your emotions than making money but lose it back because of your addiction, it's something you carry and keep you away from getting into truble especially in terms of financial capabilities, those who are in good stand against heavy gamings orexceeding finances and time frame are people who are prone into addiction, but for those who can quit and stay away when the set time already been achieve that's something special.

Experienced and good practices more likely depending from how you set your goals and how you execute things, is like an achievements where people who loves to enjoy will be beneficiable and allow you to take that entertainment and not to aimed for more money but instead aimed for enjoyment.

Kidding aside, I'll stick with my previous prediction on this series that the Nuggets will sweep the Lakers like what they did last playoffs. Jokic is just too much for AD to handle. His footwork and his vision is too much that even AD who "MUST" be a candidate for Defensive player of the year is no-match against his him. TBH, I would not want to go all-in with the Lakers right now. Obviously, the duo of Murray and Jokic can't be stop by anybody on the Laker roster, and Darvin Ham seems crumbling in clutch time, and can't make good decisions. Nevertheless, I still believe that the Nuggets will sweep them. Smiley

No disrespect towards Laker fans out there. It's just my prediction.

Let's see mate... If the Lakers loss in game 3 then I can say that your prediction is right as I would not even count the succeeding game/s.

Before their series started, I also thought that this will be either a sweep or a 4-1 in favor of the defending champions. Currently it is 2-0 for Denver but we did saw that Lakers has the potential to win since they did make the games close and even had a huge lead in one of those games. But I am still holding on with my prediction. Denver might play even better as their series progressed. And as long as Jokic is healthy, there's a lot of options for the team to execute their offense. We'll see what Ham can do when the games are switching to their homecourt.

Tough challenge for the Lakers, moving now to their homecourt maybe they can win a game though still questionable if how they will do that, with that same system during game 2 maybe they have a better chance if more players will be involve on their offense, they just need to push everything that they've got and play as a team and not try doing a one on one types of attacks, if they will review how Nuggets are playing they are more relax as they each of them knew that they just need to move the ball and it will find the open man to take the shot.

Learn and move forward, things that Lakers needs to be more inspire in winning game 3, it will boost them to continue chasing for more win and extend their chance on advancing to the next round.

The desire for things to go our way is within every single one of us, the difference is that while we understand very clearly that getting such a jackpot is almost impossible, and we do not expect to ever win it during our lifetimes, addicted gamblers think on the exact opposite way, and believe that it is just a matter of time until they win, which explains how they can use such massive amounts of money in an activity that should be just another hobby, but for them this is the method they will use to solve all their money problems forever.

Yes, you've explained the situation very good. I wish more gamblers read your post, because this way of thinking, like "I just need to make 100 bets more max and I will hit it!", this is one of the biggest mistakes gamblers make. We have to admit that everyone, you and me too, think like this from time to time. I you are a gambler - it's inevitable. But what we lose is $30-$50 in the end. Yes, it is painful, but it is bearable. When people lose more than they can afford to lose because of that way of thinking, it's a tragedy and that's what makes them miserable.
Exactly, addicted thinks that as long as there's money in their wallet the chance of catching the jackpot still alive, they only realize that same mistake once they already empty handed, most of the time, the only counter that you can do is to quit before you run out of money or if by chance that luck permits you to win, better to stop and call for the day. It's good to have some decent winnings instead of trying to push for more and aim for more, those kind of thinking will only lead you losing your money.

Better to be in positive even if it's just a small amount of earnings, as the chance of losing always higher compared to your chance of winning, the fact that gambling always accompanied by risk and without good control of your emotions will continue to lead your way to lose all the money inside your wallet.

Ganda ng laro ng Nuggets at Lakers, akala ko mananalo na ang Lakers, tinambakan na ang Nuggets tapos ang sama ng laro ni Murray. Pero biglang pumutok sa 4th quarter at ang winning shot.
4th quarter talaga kadalasan ang problema ng Lakers sa mga laro nila sa Nuggets, during clutch times parang himihina sila. Ang laki ng lamang, umabot pa ng 20 points, akala ko talaga na ang Nuggets pero slowly sa 2nd half bumabawi ang Nuggets at ang masakit pa non, yung game winner buzzer beater ni Murray, iba talaga pag may clutch player sa team nila.
Quote
Pero game 3 sa homecourt ng Lakers, tingin ko kukuha sila kahit isa.
Kung kukuha man sila, magandang tayaan ang game 3 kasi pag 3-0 na, pangit na ang series.
---
BTW, baka interested kaya, Lakers to win a championship nasa x50 na odds.

Feeling ko na discourage na si LeBron, kaya posibling 4-0 to. Parang katulad lang nung laban ni LeBron sa Warriors sa Finals na na4-0 sya. Bakit na sabi kong discourage na kasi yung tawag kay DLo na foul naman talaga dapat nag challenge yung Nuggets kita naman sa Replay Center na foul naman talaga pero successful pa rin yung challenge. Ganun din yung last points ni LeBron na dapat foul counted pero walang tawag. Kaya 4-0 to sa tingin ko magiging score nitong series. 

Baka mangyari yan pero meron pa rin naman naniniwala na sa homecourt  nila makakasilat din sila at baka ipush nila na wag silang ma sweep ulit,  pero tama ka dun sa mga napansin mo medyo masagwa talaga yung mga naging tawagan at talagang pumabor sa home team, pero dapat ipakita ni LeBron at ng buong Lakers team yung pagiging professional nila, laban hanggang sa dulo may chance pa naman kung sakali.

Kung maduduplicate nila yung ginawa nila nun game 2 at yung tawagan naman eh papabor na sa kanila hahaha malamang sa malamang maitatabla nila itong series at balik sa umpisa ulit.

Malalaman natin yan sa darating  na game 3 kung Badawi ba sila, tingin ko kasi yung frustration ni Davis pdeng maging sparkplug ng buong team yun para maghapit at maghabol ng panalo.
627  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: April 23, 2024, 05:35:52 PM

Yup, if they can invite more visiting teams who can provide competitions where fans will comes out and support their teams not just Ginebra but also other teams who are part of the league, right now, there's no interest that fans provide, aside from Ginebra other teams are not as hot like them, there's no support or only  getting few fans which not enough to attract interest from other fans.

That entails money but if they really want to boost their income then they have to risk on that. PBA had done it once, I'm sure they can do it again. I'm not sure who's expense at that because they have to accommodate a whole team for a period of time until the conference is over. Now is the time to make more aggressive action in order to attract the fans as PBA seems already dying, if we look at the venue especially those games that are not out of town, we can only see few people watching the game.

They let the fans go after they allowed sister teams and their farm teams competes, I mean fans interest is no longer present as they knew the possible outcome, with super teams being created the balance is no longer available,  independent team can reach up to semis but expect that only the super team will be facing in the finals,

Regarding to visiting teams to compete I don't have any idea either if who's expense will it be but PBA needs to be aggressive on it if they really want to bring some fans, real competition that will delight and excite potential returning fans to watch the league.

You're absolutely right about the importance of parental education in guiding children through life's challenges. It's essential to remember that while any addiction can be harmful, gambling itself is intended to be a source of pleasure and entertainment. By fostering a healthy understanding and approach to gambling as to all leisure activities parents can help their children enjoy these activities responsibly and safely.
Yes, parents education is necessary for their children so that they are not involved in things that will harm them. If parents can be friends and parents, their children will not hide what they do because they already trust their parents. They also won't want to try gambling because they already understand the impact of gambling on them.

There are many other activities that children can do besides gambling, especially using their devices more often than doing physical activities. We have seen that children in this era prefer to use their devices rather than do physical activities, and this is what causes a lack of socialization with each other.
I am sure that most parents are doing the best that they can already, it is just that now in many countries around the world both parents have to work in order to keep themselves afloat, and this is causing that many kids are growing without a strong parental figure that can guide them, so many of those kids are now looking the answers to their questions online, and as we know they can find all kind of mistaken information there that could warp the view they may have about gambling and they may try it at such an early age.

Sad reality that most of the time both parents needs to work to address the needs of their family, to extent that they need to work overtime and with that situation the time that they need to spend for their kids, and like what you mentioned there are many wrong information that the kids can get from the internet,

if you are not careful with what you are doing around your kids and they see you playing some type of gambling, that curiosty will arise and they will find ways to learn about the game,

it will be easier for those kids to find something that they will follow even as early as 4 years old which is now ready to adopt even those information are wrongly presented by those who are sharing it online.

Crazy game 2 between the Lakers and the Nuggets. Everyone thought the Lakers are gonna steal the game 2 as they lead 20 pts at some pt in the 3rd quarter, but the Nuggets didn't give up, was able to establish momentum in the 4th. Though they did not take the lead, but Murray just made a buzzer beater to beat the Lakers by 2 pts.
Man, it looks like the Lakers really stand no chance against the Nuggets. They have not won against them for 2 years straight now lol.
Davis was almost perfect in the 1st half but totally disappeared in the 2nd half.
It looks the Lakers' chance to win this series is by miracle lol.

They've missed that chance and that big nerve from Jamal that's something that he acquired from his idol the late Kobe taking that last shot and bring the win at home surely gives him additional plus love from the entire Denver fans, though they've lost the game  but the hardship almost been paid by a win, they need more adjustments and more ball rotations not just the core but also those who are playing with them inside the court, they need to involve one another, just like how the Nuggets is playing the game, seems that they knew where's everyone even they are not looking for them but you'll just see the ball is already in a shooters hands and ready to take the shot, Lakers needs that kind of ball rotation and not just focusing with their cores, keep everyone involve in all aspects not just to bring some for defensive prupose but let them play and include themselves from both ends.
630  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe in gambling experts predictions? on: April 23, 2024, 09:43:55 AM

Human analysis and prediction is way way better than the AI because there's no proof or data that shows 100% ability of AI to distinguish or predict the exact things that will happen that's why I don'r really rely my answers in computers prediction not unless they will release a Data analysis and 100% results about this matter. For now, I only consider personal/human predictions because many gamblers has been accomplished many things and winnings because of personal prediction and analysis.

Truth be told, hell yeah.. That's it, no one would ever replace our skills in analyzing the game, not even AI, so if we believe that AI's gonna be helpful sure we have to accept that becasue they are an innovation, however, if we fully rely our decision to AI, that's a wrong decision, and it will easily result to a big loss.

AI don't have that capability to change in mind whenver an incident happen during the live events, unlike with human intellect which you can understand the value and the possible effects in such situation, yeah, I can agree that because of the program that creator establish inside AI system the possibility that they can adopt and analyze the potentials but not always that they can exactly predict or accurately predict the results.

You can use their forecast as basis but always think ahead and do your own research, you also have all the resources available same with AI where mostly seeking for information online.

You have that knowledge and best to participate with games that you fully understand, it helps to predict and anticipate more advance and potentially detects which having some extra edge.
631  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Double your money and quite on: April 23, 2024, 09:27:00 AM
I think it really depends on the person who plays their bets so that they continue to play their bets after getting a win from the capital they brought to bet and this without them realizing it until they lose all the winnings and capital they bet.

In terms of predictions, no one can guarantee that we will be able to win the bet we are playing, so it is important for us when betting to be able to analyze well the bet we are going to bet so as not to waste the bet we placed and to be able to stop the game when it is over. get the win and enjoy the win.

Been able to stop after completing the bet, you set it up and you must follow that strategy, most of the time you'll waste the opportunity becuase instead of completely quits after you made it, you choose to continue and try to find more luck, leading you to waste the winning and place you a risk of losing everything back.

Worse, instead of making money, you lose that opportunity and aside from it, you also lose your capital and regret that decision as it should be happening if you just follow your created strategy.

Gambling accurately may not be in existence, except for appropriate techniques on limitations. Players on the increase struggle tooth and nail with their gambling limits. The stoppage time always gets interesting for many players, that they add up more minutes until it gets to another hour. If money was won previously the player definitely will lose it out again, before he learns his ways to stop the session. It's wrong to let the lack of money stop our session. Else it means the player failed the self-control test. The house can be tricky such that a gambler will win the moment he decides to stop. Out of excitement, he'd continue playing.

Strategically the house is winning over such gamblers to stay in the casino. With further delays the player can convince himself to deposit more money. These changes happen in nano seconds and affects the player's finance, for a long time. Pains of losing money will revolve round the player, reminding him of gambling, then push him to play again. Losers tend to gamble more than the winners. Who are the winners? those who are able to stop once their designated time is due. Nothing bothers such players more than controlling their wagering habit. So, those impulses that push around loser to gamble again, doesn't control a player with a sufficient self-control. He'd play when he wants to, not because he lost money and wants to regain it.

Those who knows how to practice their limitation mostly are the gamblers who both enjoy and win over the house, they know how to work on their emotions and knows how they going to deal with their setup limitation, just like what you mentioned instead of quitting when you experienced some decent wins, gambler will decide to continue pushing for more, thinking that if luck permits then thatexperienced winning streaks will continue to come forward.

Only to realize that they've already been catch by the casinos algo, sytem that will keep you engage and allow your emotions to change up with whatever strategy that you create or sets before you begin your sessions.

From that point, casino will now have that advantage as you continue and stay longer, when you spend all the money inside your wallet, chances to add more and lose more is the next thing that you'll notice, then regret after.
632  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do some people hide to gamble on: April 23, 2024, 09:08:48 AM

So at this point I decided to bring it here to know or see different views from different intellects here on why do some people hide just to gamble or if it is the best way to gamble ?.
you know, people always put what others view about them into consideration and not everyone wants to be seen as a gambler depending on the kind of environment one finds his or herself. For someone that's of a religious setting where gambling is frawned at to the peak, it's understandable to see someone shying away from being seen as a gambler since it's not what's really accepted like that in the society. Outside of this, what's possible going to be the reason why they might hide to gamble is because they are probably teenagers that don't have a good source of income and if cought gambling, they will have to explain where they got the money for and even if the money is there's, it would be seen as wasting of money and thale best option they will be left with will be to gamble in secrete to avoid unnecessary questioning.

Yup, people always have that interractions with other people and they value their opinions especially those who are surrounding them, they wanted to make sure that they don't have any negative comments or any criticizm though not many still practicing this kind of mindsets, as the growth and development of gambling industries are already flowing all over the over, most of those who are still caring about opinions and criticizm belongs to those religious and rural places where practices still in-line with the old beliefs.

Something that you need to assess inside you if you can handle that opinions or you just need to forget about listening stop bothering yourself and just enjoy whatever you think that will let yu enjoy.

No matter what, those people who wanted to talk negative about you will not stop, so why bother right? just move forward and mind your own.

Ganda rin ng pinakita ng Pels, kinapos lang talaga sa huli akala ko makakasilat eh.

Laban bukas trip ko ang Orlando Magic, hehehe, dehado pa sila dito.

+5.5 @1.96, kunin ko na to maya maya deposit lang ako sa Gcash ko sa BK8 hehehe.

Nagulat nga din ako sa Pelcs dahil sobrang lakas nila kapag wala si Zion dahil hind center ang offense nila kay Zion at malayang nakaka score ang lahat lalo na si McCollum na talaga naman pinahirapan ang OKC dahil sa kanyang potential scoring threat.

Kala ko matatambakan ng malala itong Pelcs pero halos muntik pa nila matalo itong OKC kung hindi lang sila bumitaw sa dulo pagkatapos nung crucial shot ni Shai. Kayang kaya pa sana yun iOT kung nag 2 points guaranteed nalang sila.  Cheesy

Maganda sana kung 2 points yung play nila, kaya lang masyadong pinatagal ang bola ka CJ, muntik pa tuloy ma turnover, nakuha naman ang  bola pero hindi na maganda ang form of shooting kaya maliit ang chance na pumasok. Overall, maganda ang game 1 and mukhang itong series na ito ang magandang abangan, lumabas na talaga ang pagka in experience ng OKC.

Bukas may bakbakan ulit, mukhang gusto ko ang sixers moneyline, parang naging overrated na itong Knicks, bounce back yan bukas for sure.

Oo kabayan, kung pinaikot sana ni CJ at hindi pinatagal yung dribbling para sana mas maganda Ganda yung shooting form nya kaya lang sadyang naswertehan pa ron ng OKC ung laban kaya nasurvive ung 1st game nila, kamuntikan talaga un pero malamang sa malamang madami pa rin nanalong nagsitaya sa handicap ng NP, ako din kasi mismo ang prediction ko kahit hindi ako nakataya eh tatambakan ng OKC ung Zion-less NP pero hindi umubra pinalagan sila ng NP at kamuntikan pa ngang makasilat.
634  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Making decisions while betting on: April 22, 2024, 03:55:15 PM
"Knows your limit" - but it was just knowing, it is also important to stick to it. Otherwise, it makes no sense at all.
So many gamblers I've heard " I stop gambling after losing" but still gambling. Many promises are broken because we are not serious about our words. So many gamblers become addicted because they can't control their emotions and greediness.

A lot of things hinder us from being a responsible gambler, I believe this should be addressed first before anything else as this will be the main reason that brought us to the worst situation.
We should be honest with ourselves and whether gambling can bring benefits or can actually have a much worse impact. Generally, people will say they have stopped gambling when they lose, but in fact they continue gambling. Gambling addiction is caused by a lack of self-control ability and many people find it difficult to control themselves because they do not have an attitude towards involvement in gambling so they find it difficult to control.

If you are not able to take responsibility for yourself then it is difficult to control gambling, because when people are involved in it it will be difficult to limit the amount of budget that will be spent. It's easy to say that gambling is responsible, but it's difficult to practice it independently.

There are factors that really makes it more difficult for people to control their emotions when they are already playing or in an actual situation,  easy to say that if you can control yourself then you are good to go but the actual execution of that is something that really tough to process especially when you are either in a winning streak or on a losing streaks,  quitting is questionable as there are multiple emotions that keep pushing you to continue playing.

Only few experienced gamblers who can actually practice this type of setup, those who can completely dictate whatever happens they need to follow whatever strategy they create before entering the game.
635  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: April 22, 2024, 03:28:05 PM
It's always been them and that's why some fans are happy to see if it's not Ginebra ending in the grand finals. Although, fan base wise, they've got a lot of it but even with their games, its' no longer the same that the whole venue is full. This time, it's not that full at all and fans have lost interest due to the topics like this. They don't want to see the same teams ending in the finals because it's sort of boring when we want all teams to be competitive.
Some maybe happy but majority of the fans are rooting for Ginebra, so this team are not in the finals, they'll not spend their money to watch the game live.  Filling up the Philippine Arena would result to a bigger income for the PBA, they needed that considering how much they are paying on their teams that are full of star players, I'm talking about the teams own by a giant company.

Last time no Ginebra, so this time the league can't afford to not put Ginebra in the Finals, they should be here and will probably battle with SMB which has a very dominant game last night and still able to maintain their undefeate record.
That was the time when Bay Area Dragon was part of the league and with their match against Ginebra, they have filled the entire area. See, that hints that the fans are up for the competition and not with just a few of these teams that will always become the champions and have some unfair trades.

Yeah, i remember that time, it was one of the best seasons for the PBA as the fans are supporting our very own against a strong Bay Area Dragon. I even thought at the beginning that no teams could beat the visiting team but when Ginebra beat them in the regular season, that made me think that Brownlee is really special, and in fact it was Brownlee who took care of the business in the Finals and beat the Bay Area in game 7.

I'm hoping for that time to come again, of course not Bay Area anymore as this team is not already existing but there are other teams out there, they could get it and I'm sure people will be coming back to watch an exciting match. Also, they should not only limit to one team, they can invite more.

Yup, if they can invite more visiting teams who can provide competitions where fans will comes out and support their teams not just Ginebra but also other teams who are part of the league, right now, there's no interest that fans provide, aside from Ginebra other teams are not as hot like them, there's no support or only  getting few fans which not enough to attract interest from other fans.
636  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: April 22, 2024, 10:46:20 AM
Minnesota definitely looking like a serious team, Suns is no joke, they have Beal, Booker and of course Durant and yet Minnesota is playing like crazy and got their win as well. I feel like we are talking about something that is a bit more risky at this point if we keep it going like this.

I believe that Wolves could beat Suns over 7 game series, maybe not even take it that further, they have a chance to even go as quick as sweeping them if they keep this up. Anthony Edwards definitely looks like there is a big talent right there, dude is playing like he is MJ at this point, he is looking a lot like him when he plays, and shows how MJ would be in modern era, give or take. I believe that it's going to be a great series.

ANT is doing crazy stuff in that game, even taunting KD several times but KD was just laughing it off. And with Towns back and Gobert maybe DPOY award again, the Wolves are a complete team now. I wouldn't put his name on the same breathe of MJ though, playoff MJ was different, and if my memory serves me right, he average 37 ppg during his prime in playoff. Let's see how KD and Book are going to respond to that game one, specially Book who is known to be a trash talker. But if the Wolves continue with this dominant fashion win, 4-1 or 4-2 against the Suns.

ANT had celebrated early, this series is far from over, there's still many games to be played, and even if they win the next game, they'll have to travel to Phoenix which is a different atmosphere. I like to see Booker respond and show his greatness, and Beal as well who have been silent so far, I like to see him explode as this is the best opportunity for him to win his first championship, of course together with Booker as he also hasn't won one, it was spoiled by the Bucks. One more day for rest and they'll be back in game 2, hopefully no blowout is gonna happen from either team.

Just so happy playing against his favorite player, I'm seeing Kobe playing against MJ that level of competitions where you wanted to bring everything just to impress the person who you idolized more, that's something that adds more boost inside ANT, he loves the level of competition against KD, while KD is showing appreciation and just smiling back knowing that the kid is now the grow up man and wanted to put the show on, I would like to see what adjustments Suns will do and how the Big 3 will response to how Wolves are playing against them.

Looking for a good answer to avoid any early exit during this first round, Booker needs to take this challenge his offensive capabilities is very much needed together with Beal, while with KD for sure he will response and he will find his way to give the kid the level of competitions that he wanted from the person he idolized most.

Many things have happened in gambling cases and you almost experience mistakes if you are unlucky, I think this incident can be a lesson for anyone that don't force yourself to gamble when you are in a condition that does not support gambling activities, fatigue is the main reason which needs to be avoided before you gamble, because you will make mistakes in setting the bet amount which can have fatal consequences and can lose your entire balance if you lose at gambling.

My friend almost made the same mistake in slot betting, but his friend warned him that he entered the bet value incorrectly because he was tired and not focused on gambling, luckily he immediately changed the bet value before he pressed the bet button, he almost lost the high bet if he lost that bet.
With so many cases of loss, it can be used as a lesson for us not to gamble excessively like the many cases that have occurred. Moreover, we should not force ourselves to continue gambling because it is not a good action. If we are tired and want to get entertainment then it's okay to do gambling, it's just that the fear is that we can't accept the defeat that is likely to occur. Because if we can't accept that fact it might affect our emotions which will lead us to reckless actions and maybe that will get us into even bigger problems and losses.
It is possible that the focus will be affected as experienced by your friend, because fatigue will indeed affect our performance, but if he is lucky by using a large amount of fall and does not realize it and presses the spin button, he may get a big win, it's just that what will happen more is defeat.

Yes, it affects your decision making when you are stress or tired as your adrenaline increase when we either getting excited with the win or if we lose or bets, chances that we might just go and blindly select another picks that may lead us to lose our money, most of the time its getting worse as we lose more than what we can afford to let go.

Well it may be that being tired can impact you in the decision you make in gambling yet I think there is not a big of a problem making your bets when you are tired if you already knew what to bet before you became tired.I don't think that being tired can impact your gambling habits like it can impact you in real life if you do things while tired the room for marginal and non marginal errors are simply to high and it reduces your performance in any job you can do yet in gambling as I said I don't see it impacting the person that much.I personally have gambled when I was tired as I have been playing since 6 Pm to over 12 Am many times and I have had my big wins when I was near falling asleep during that 12 Am time so for me in gambling being tired doesn't really mean anything or that it can impact you a lot.
The lack of sleep can impact your ability to think clearly in the same way alcohol can affect you, so it can be a very big deal to not sleep properly, and since many people that gamble at physical casinos have a few drinks to let loose, it is easy to imagine how much their ability to think rationally is affected, which could lead them to commit several mistakes and as a consequence they may chase their losses, making them to commit even more mistakes.


I really agree with you, even though we are tired from work and lack of sleep, we should not gamble because these two things have a big influence on gambling. We should be able to focus on playing, but instead we make more mistakes because of fatigue which makes us not optimal at gambling. And it would be better if we feel tired and our mind is unstable, it is better to relax and not force ourselves to gamble because it will be a disaster for us later.


The best way to do when you're tired is to get some rest and relax your mind so you have a reset mind once you're doing gambling. If you're tired and you still continue in betting, it may possibly leads you to a bigger problem or huge loss. Proven and tested because some gambling addicts are experiencing the same situation, they even lose more rather than winning because their mind is exhausted as well as their body.

Take a rest and not to push yourself, because of you push your way chance that instead of getting some relaxation while betting, it adds more stress especially when the outcome is not doing any good or it's not moving in our favor. Take time to relax yourself go and chill out or take a good sleep and after that then go and take your bets to enjoy,.

Mas mabuti pa ang India na unang nag ban sa Binance pumayag sila na magbayad ng $2 million penalty sa kanila ng India regulator, kaya may posibilidad sila na makabalik sa India at makuha nila uli ang Indian market, after two years ngayun lang narealize ng Binance na need nila magbayad ng penalty.

Sana ganun din dito sa Pilipinas at makipag negotiate sila sa SEC at magbayad din sila ng penalty malaking market din naman ang Pilipinas tulad ng India.


https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/tech/technology/binance-coins-a-new-phase-in-india/articleshow/109382161.cms
Hopefully na yan nga ang mangyare. Isipin nalang siguro natin na mahabang proseso talaga para makapag decide and solusyunan ang mga naging issue lalo. Hindi lang naman bansa natin ang nag ban sa Binance, kaya siguro wala silang pinapakitang aksyon para hindi matuloy ang banning dahil may iba pa silang kasong kinakaharap.

Sa ngayon naman ay may nakakapag access pa sa Binance, ayun nga lang hindi tayo panatag. Mas mabuting maghintay tayo ng update at kung ano ang magiging final decision nila sa pagkakaban nila sa Pinas.

Dun na lang muna sa kayang mairisk na halaga kung sakaling gagamitin pa rin yung serbisyo ng binance, medyo alanganin kasi dahil hindi natin alam kung kelan talaga tuluyang mabblock ung access sa lahat, dun sa mga meron pang access samantalahin na lang muna at pakinabangan at dun naman sa mga wala ng access hanap na lang ng pwedeng gamiting alternatibo para makapagtrade or makapag invest, sa kalagayan ng binance malamang gaya ng sinabi mo at nung asa itaas mo kung tratratuhin din nila tayo na isang asset para sa negosyo nila malamang sa malamang gagawan din nila ng paraan para makipag negotiate at ayusin yung dapat ayusin para makapagfacilatate sila ng maayos dito sa bansa at hindi na sila ma-block pa.
639  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Naranasan Nyo Na Ba Na Masisi Dahil Sa Cryptocurrency on: April 21, 2024, 06:03:55 PM
Minsan na akong nasisi dahil bumagsak ang presyo ng bitcoin. Pero hindi ako nag-hikayat mag invest, kundi ipinakita ko lang sa kanila kung ano ang nangyayari sa bitcoin. Siguro dahil dito, nahikayat din silang mag-invest, pero ang siste eh hindi nila inaral bago sila pumasok. Unang-una e sinabi ko nang hindi sila dapat basta-basta pumasok, pero tumuloy pa rin sila.

Meron din namang ibang nagpapasalamat kasi nagshe-share ako ng tungkol sa bitcoin. Kagaya na lamang sa kapatid ko na malaki na rin ang naipundar dahil nakikita niyang tumitingin ako sa mga charts noon. Nagtanong siya at inaral niya, at ngayon e mas malaki na ang hinahawakan niyang coins kaysa sa akin.
Yung mga tao na nagalit dahil pinakita mo yung bitcoin sa kanila tapos di mo naman hinikayat na mag-invest ay yung mga tipo ng tao na deserve yung nangyari sa kanila, mga engot kumbaga at di nila maatim na ganun yung nangyari sa kanila, tapos nasabihan mo din naman pala sila na mag-ingat sa pagpasok ng pera sa bitcoin pero ginawa pa din nila, wala ka ng mali dun, ang maganda siguro dapat sa chat mo yan sinabi sa kanila para may resibo ka at makikita mo karamihan sa kanila magmumukhang tanga dahil sa resibo na yun. Yung mga tao naman na nagpapasalamat sayo, yan din yung isa sa mga upside sa tingin kaya dapat na patuloy ka pa din sa ginagawa mong adbokasiya na pagpapalaganap ng impormasyon at kaalaman tungkol sa bitcoin.

Nasa discretion nalang talaga natin kung nais nating magpakita ng kawanggawa sa pagbahagi na gandang meron ang Bitcoin at cryptocurrency, siyempre sasabihin mo din yung risk.

Ngayon kung sa kabila ng mga binanggit natin ay ginawa parin nila ay walang dahilan talaga na sisihin tayo kundi sa halip sisihin nila ang kanilang sarili kasi pinairal nila kaengotan nila sabi mo nga hehehe.
Part talaga din dapat ang pagsabi ng risk kapag nag invest sa crypto. Isa yan sa mga importanteng impormasyon lalo kung mag iinvest, kung hindi banggitin yan, as investor dapat mag dalawang isip na sila. HAHA. Pero yung iba naman kahit banggitin mo ang risk hindi na pinapansin dahil naka focus sila sa possible kitain o kaya naman na-hype sa nakikita nilang profit sa ibang tao. Kumbaga ang mindset nila nandun na sa kumikita sila ng pera, disregard yung risk.

Hindi papansinin pero pag nalugi ung sisi dun sa kausap ang lupit, ganyan kadalasan ang nangyayari eh kahit na nasabi mo naman na malaki ang risk pero dahil ang focus eh nakatuon lang sa posibleng kikitain nila hindi sila concern sa possibleng mangyari, dapat talaga ipagdiinan at ipaunawa ng maigi para wala talagang sisihan pagdating sa dulo.

Hindi kasi lahat ng papasok eh talagang magiging successful mas madami talaga yung iiyak kasi umaasa lang sa sabi sabi at hindi naglaan ng oras para pag aralan yung venue ng investment nila.

Many people gamble for more than fun. Even the best difficulties are problems. Taking charge is the greatest option. People get hooked chasing wins, thinking things will change. Big error. Admitting you must shift course takes great courage. Honestly, if you cant stop yourself after significant losses, you need help. The smartest play in the book is this. New hobbies and healthy habits are where the winning happens. The best form of control is reclaiming your life.

Gambling addiction is something every responsible gambler tries to avoid making the right decisions during gambling activities. Most non addicts have the ability to control their emotions and rationally calculate how much they spend and stake as these help them monitor their gambling activities as well as habits. Most gambling addicts on the other hand are unable to financially manage how much they spend on placing bets during gambling activities. Majority of gambling addicts are usually perceived as gambling addicts and irresponsible persona because they usually lose more often than they win. Gambling addiction is something every gambler tries to avoid however some persons fail to do the needful and unknowingly to them they gradually drift into addiction.

For those who are not addicted yet and have that clear mindsets, they can stop whenever they need to stop while for those who already have that deep engagements to gambling, it's tough call to stop while you are still trying to fill what your desire is asking from you, those kind of situations where you forget to control and instead of losing an amout that you are willing to let go,

you try to oeverspend your finances in hope that you'll be able to catch up and recover those amount from your previous attempts.

It cause you a huge amount of money if you can't handle the situation, you should always have that trigger points to stop completely instead of keep pushing and keep aiming to win more.
