I agree with that, maybe it's because they are too engrossed in the gambling they are doing so they are so carried away by gambling that they forget that gambling is not something that should be done excessively. If they can't control their emotions then they will have thoughts of trying hard by gambling to win. It's true what you said, gambling can be said to train our patience, if we are able to control ourselves well and control our emotions well then they will not chase after winnings or recover from losses that have already occurred.
Even though they take a break, that doesn't mean they will stop gambling. They will return to gambling again. In fact, in my opinion, they will gamble more aggressively because they are trying to pursue something that is uncertain.

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.

We are involved in trading and we have enough knowledge about trading but still I would say we must have a full time job along with trading. Having a full-time job means being sure,even if the results are against the results of trading, it is possible to meet your needs through your permanent job. In the case of trading, many times our results are just opposite, no matter how much research we do in trading, we can never get the results in our favor, if we do not have an alternative source of income at that time, but we can fall into financial disaster. Since my family is dependent on me, we must think and plan in advance so that my family does not fall into a financial disaster.

Yes, that's right because in gambling, there will be a time to change without we can predicts. That will makes our prediction wrong and can't win the games. Even if we have skills to analyze and predict the match, we can't be sure 100% can happens as our prediction. We needs to be realistic that our prediction can also wrong and if that's happens, we don't have to be sad. But if you follows the expert predictions while you pay subscription fees, you will feels sad because they can't helps you to wins the games. But if the expert predictions gives you a free prediction from their analysis, you don't have to feels sad because you don't pay anything. That's why we must learn about analysis in a match so we can analyze from the information and gets our prediction and if we can learns more, that can improve our skills into a better skills.

Yeah, it will be more of a trouble to them because Jokic is a good passer too and with his size he could easily find an open man either KCP, Jamal, or MPJ.

What we have seen today was not doubling Jokic but KCP still found a way to make himself open and it rained three's in Ball Arena. 15 of 42 ain't bad.

The Lakers on the other hand, did not shoot many outside shots and I was actually surprised that AD attempted more than their shooters.
He can dominate the inside just like Jokic so maybe he should focus on that. We have seen him grind his way down his spots where he gets more and1's and they might take advantage of that next time. Also, DLo seem to be not in a good shooting night, they will badly need his contributions in Game 2.

It's very true they at some point it actually becomes very necessary to take a break from gambling so you will be able to rethink and strategies on how well to gamble so you have a better chance of winning unlike you had have before so it's always usually better after such breaks because then  you seem to come back in a better mind and tend to achieve even much more than you would have when you still stay consistently gambling without a break and loosing, your mind becomes messy and  you are unable to think straight enough to be able to have a better strategy to be able to win the game much better than you had done in your previous games.

Especially the addicted gamblers, most others usually do find it difficult taking a break off gambling awhile so that they get to be able to make sure they get a better mind starting a fresh again to gamble in the right state of mind and a better strategy.

Apart from that, nowadays almost everyone, wherever they are, can access the internet easily and almost everyone has a sophisticated cellphone and is able to do anything, this convenience is really one of the main reasons.
In addition, now all payments can be made online and there are many private wallets that can be downloaded and used by anyone to make payments or send money in any amount.
This makes online gambling increasingly growing and many people do not need to go to betting places with fiat money, everyone can access gambling sites and make deposits by utilizing various existing exchange platforms.
Currently, significant changes have been felt by all gamblers, whether they are gamblers who have been familiar with gambling for long time or beginner gamblers, and with the various benefits that can be obtained in the current era of gambling, many people are starting to become interested.
This can also be proven by the presence of new gamblers who are starting to arrive by entering the gambling industry, those who were initially reluctant to gamble can be more enthusiastic with changes that are much easier.

Of course, players often have to fight the temptation to put everything at stake, especially if the winnings come gradually and in small amounts. But often "all-in" is unjustified - just because it feels like it. To go "all-in", you need more than just a desire - you need at least inner confidence

When someone loses some money, let's say, for instance, they lose about $100 to gambling, and instead of going home with the pain of losing only $100, they make a deposit of another $100 in order to double that $100 and regain their lost $100. Instead of regaining it, they end up losing it again to the casino, which will leave another level of sadness in their mind, adding to the one that was already theirs for their first loss. 
 
Some gamblers just don't learn; they always want to control the system, which can't be controlled; they allow their emotions of losing to lead them to lose even more to the system, which could be avoided with a simple tactic and self-control.

No matter how bad we are, when we are with our children, as much as possible, never behave badly in front of them, that doesn't mean we are fanatical or hypocritical or pretend to be good in front of our children. However, if we behave badly and show our stupidity in front of them, not only will they imitate this, but it will also be a reason for a child to become disobedient and not want to respect his parents. And it's true what you said, that apart from us having to behave well in front of them, we also shouldn't talk about the dark times we've experienced, because that could be a reason for a child to do the same thing as what his parents did. .

And of course we all know very well the risks posed by gambling, drinking or other negative things. even though we are gamblers or drunkards, no matter how drunk we are and no matter how addicted we are to gambling, as parents we always want the best for our children. No parents are perfect, with all the shortcomings we have, and all the stupid things we have done, we still try to give them the best, don't let them do bad things and stupid things like what we have done.

Not only CJ, you forgot about these two guys, Jonas Valančiūnas who has played playoff games when he was still playing with the Toronto Raptors and Brandon Ingram and some casts that are still now who were in the playoffs last year 2022 which gave the Suns a problem as the series reach to game 6 before they loss.

I'm just saying that in terms of experience the Pelicans have it, and that time in the playoffs, there's also no Zion, so it's safe to say that they are pretty much using the same line up with some minor +- on the roster.

The first weapon of gambling is that we repeatedly lose money gambling in the hope of winning double the money we bet. However, if someone gains money through gambling once, and again, but if they lose money again and again.  Although many people are experienced in gambling, it is not always possible to make money by gambling because luck is not always on your side.  However, there are families who lose money more than they earn money by gambling, who have almost made their families destitute through this gambling, so everyone should refrain from this kind of gambling because gambling as an addiction can never be a good aspect for anyone's life. All types of gambling should be avoided. People who are basically addicted to gambling never realize these bad aspects of themselves. At one point when they lose their cash while gambling, they realize but do nothing and they end up in debt. Not all addictive gambling is right.

Phoenix surprised us today betting the NLEX by 35 points, the final score was 77-112 and they defended Bollick very well allowing him to only score by 11 points. This team really has some great talent on their line up, it's already in the All Filipino cup, no import and yet they are still having some kind of dominating game like this.

NLEX relied too much on their 3 point shooting, when they have a bad shooting night, this is what happened.

NLEX had 50 attempts and 11 of these went in, that's a very low precentage. And since their total attempts is 88, that means they focus so much on the 3 point area which is a very bad strategy.

Wow ,Magnolia continue their winning streak, they beat the Rain or shine tonight and the good news is Sanggalang is starting to show his star player performance. Their past game vs Phoenix when they also won, he scored 23 points and tonight he scored 25 points. I like when a big man of Magnolia is playing great basketball like this because they become more unpredictable. The defense is still their, so as long as the game is close, they have an advantage in the 4th quarter because of their hassle on the floor.

Winners today.

Phoenix and Magnolia. As to the current standing (https://pba.ph/standings), Magnolia is already at the top 3.

I think they can beat Bulls tomorrow, They almost beat complete line-up sixers even with their incomplete roster while Chicago is much manageable to beat than Sixers that just beat them on a very close game.

Clutch Jimmy Buckets can easily dominate team like Bulls. My concern for them is when they are against team like Boston and Bucks with their current line-up with lack of fire power on 3 points. 

My prediction for Tomorrow is Pelicans and Heat will claim the last spot on Playoffs.

That is true and add to what you have said, some are hiding because they don't want their girlfriends, family members to see the in the act. Most of the gamblers are briefcase gamblers and all what they do is to dress well and go out to hidden places with gambling friends and gamble there till evening then came back home. And also gamblers who takes drugs also hide themselves. And communities and societies differ. They are some communities when someone is seen in gambling ground then he is also a bad person. So those communities that see gamblers as  bad people also making them to hide themselves in from the public.

The risks can be high without we realizes and if we are gets deeper in gambling, the risks will increase without we can reduces or stops and that means, we forget about our limitations that we already set. It's better they can be careful when playing gambling because playing gambling too often or long can cause someone lose control of themselves and that will be too risks for them if they don't gets out from gambling immediately. Gambling addiction can cause lose much money without people knows and that will becomes worst when they can't realizes about that. If gamblers can manage himself when playing gambling, nothing to worry because everything will happens with his control. No needs to use much money to playing gambling because gambling is not make money and only a place that gives quite for those who wants to feels the peace.

Recently is nakita ko lang din sa Trinoma if nadaan kayo is near sya sa bpi doon is may exchange store which is pwede kang mag papalit ng other currency na fiat at nagulat nga ako is supported nila ung bitcoin, di ko pa sya na subukan pero feel ko parang same sya ng process sa gusto mong gawin OP, will try soon and update sa thread na to.

Of course, there are some shitcoins listed in exchanges because they need to be listed there so that they will be able to fool their victims but most of the trusted exchanges have some major issues against shitcoins and they cannot just simply list their coins there. they need to undergo lots of steps and they also need to fulfill requirements so that they are clean and investors won't have any doubt when they want to buy those altcoins but when they are not active anymore and they find out something fishy with any altcoins they listed, they quickly remove it and warn their users against it.

I used to lose a lot of money in gambling and often fell into depression. But gambling requires patience. If a person can keep his mind under control while gambling, he can enjoy gambling properly. It is wrong to ever get excited while gambling.  No decision can be taken. Taking a wrong decision will likely put money at risk.

Even if Butler is not available they have reliable guys that can fill his absence they had Bam which can dominate inside and Jacquez jr which can give perform well if needed also their reliable shooter Robinson and Herro which can also punish their opponent team on perimeter then and the rest is reliable players so we cannot really say that they are done since their star is out. So for sure we can see them perform so good and they have a lot of experience on crucial games and they are dangerous opponent for that. We see them knocked off the hot Bucks before and they are still capable to do that on their opponent. I'm considering to placing some bet on Miami since it will add the fun watching important games with bet placed.
