701  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: April 14, 2024, 11:53:21 AM

Basically, if the Lakers win the game against the Pelicans, they will be facing each other again in the play-in for the 7th seed. So they will be facing each other twice (if the Lakers win the last game of the season).

Pelicans will do everything to secure their spot for the second round knowing that whoever will be there for the play-in is a competitive team that can really upset anyone, taking the 6 spot might give them secure position for the 2nd round and will be able to play for the playoff series, though same with what you mentioned, if ever Lakers pull an upset they might be facing against each other in the play-in, eveyrthing still possible and positioning still important for both teams as they needed to win their last remaining game.

And with the way they are playing in their last couple of games, they are going to look to beat the Lakers in their game. And it will be good to see Zion as healthy as before and being dominant.

Break out season also for Trey Murphy, since BI is out, he step up his game and become the next offensive weapon for the team. Alvarado is also taking it up a notch, not just distributing the ball, but he also a scoring threat now specially in the 3 point area.

At the current ranking, it will be so tough for the Pelicans as they will be facing the Denver Nuggets in the first round. They need a complete line up to have a chance against the defending champion as this team is really good and now that Murray was back, they are now in full force.

They should hope that things will change after the last game tomorrow, the top 3 have games left but most likely they'll win their games so I think nothing would change.


Yeah, I also believe that the curent rankings will not change as those on the top ranks will try to keep that stats not unless there's strategy that will need to execute, though all of them should have that winning mentality to keep trying their best, we don't know what the next round would be, upset always present as we know most of the teams are really improving especilally in the west side.

For sure teams are so prepared they are fighting for 8 spot and they don't want to be on bottom since its like it gives them certain momentum booster if they can achieve that. But its not really easy for Warriors to be in that spot since Lakers is so hungry and we see that they perform so different compare on earliest part of regular season. Lebron James is putting monster performance together with his teammates so provably that Kings and Warriors cannot sleep so tight as Lakers is so capable to end this and get 8 spot on the west. I'm might go with Lakers tomorrow since they have the momentum and I believe they might perform more better as they really need to win so for them not to drop on standings.

It's not about who is hungry because all the bottom 3 are hungry for the win. We can predict based on the teams they will be playing tomorrow and it seemed like the Lakers is the one that have the toughest opponent. We can evaluate that easily based on the betting spread listed below.

Warriors -8 vs Jazz
Kings -17.5 vs Trail Blazers

Lakers +3.5 @ NO Pelicans.

See, the Lakers have a tougher opponent, and I think Warriors and Kings will win their respective games easily.

As both Jazz and Blazers have no chance to move forward while against NO they are trying to avoid the play-in, they need to win but that's also the same thing that Lakers needs we will see if how the game will be played and which team will take the win.

Yung nakikita ko lang at pagkakaalam ko na service nila ay practice trading, di ko alam na meron din pala silang actual na trading, akala yung parang laro lang siya tapos magtitrade ka tapos kunwari practice lang. Sinubukan ko na din dati yung mag-register sa kanila para nga magpractice ng trading pero hindi ko na tinuloy kasi nung oras na yun, ayoko na din bigla na magsayang ng oras tapos ganun lang pala yung mangyayari. Ibayong ingat nalang sa tingin ko yung magagawa ng ibang mga kababayan natin pagdating sa ganito.

Halos lahat ng mga trading apps ay may demo mode kagaya ng XM. Kilala ang E-toro dahil may copy trading sila at sobrang simple lang magtrade sa knila. Ang nakakatamad lang sa mg ganitong financial apps na fiat currency ay kakaiba ang KYC dahil need ng iba ang TIN ID para sa tax tapos may address verification pa if ever malaki ang funds mo na equivalent sa crypto exchange ay basic KYC lang.

Nagulat ako na hindi pa pala regulated itong e-toro platform while nagrerequire sila ng KYC sa mga users nila which is illegal since wala silang license to operate sa bansa natin.

Nakakagulat rin pala yung mga ganyan na need ng KYC tapos hindi naman regulated. Paano ma sisiguro na safe yung information natin. Actually, hindi lang naman ito, pati sa Binance, nag submit rin ako ng ID sa Binance pero hindi pala regulated ng bansa natin, kaya risky na din, pero ayos lang maganda naman ang reputation ng Binance, saka sana lang di magamit sa illegal ang ID ko. hehe.

Lakasan lang talaga ng loob sa pagpasa ng mga KYC sa online platforms since kahit regulated or mismong government agency natin ay nagkakaroon ng leak sa mga identity ng customers.

Kaya dapat talaga hindi tayo basta2 nagveverify ng KYC sa kahit anong platform online pwera nalang kung kailangan na kailangan mo para minimize lng ang risk sa potential leak exposure.

High security naman ang Binance kaya mababa ang chance na mag leak ang customers info nila pero syempre hindi natin masasabi kung ano ang pwede mangyari sa future kaya dasal lang siguro ang magagawa natin para sa mga services na nakapag verify na tayo.  Cheesy

Tama, wala namang exchange na 100% safe talaga, kahit nga yung sikat na exchange before na Mt. Gox ay nagka problema, kaya possible rin itong Binance. Di ba na charge na ito sa US sa mga violations particularly money laundering yata, naki pag negotiate lang, nagbayad ng malaking pera kaya tuloy pa rin ang operation ng company.

Sana lang safe mga files natin kasi mostly sa atin dito na gumagamit ng Binance ay KYC verified na rin.

Yun lang talaga ang magiging problema in case na biglang mawala hindi natin alam kung safe ba yung mga data natin kasi gaya nga ng sinabi mo, kyc verified talaga para magamit ng buo yung binance, kung gusto mo ma-maximize yung service kailangan mo mag comply sa KYC verification nila, kaya ngayong nagkakaaberya mga exchange wala naman tayong magawa kasi gaya ng sinabi mo wala naman din talagang kasiguraduhan kung hindi ba magcocollapse ang binance walang makakapagsabi kasi kung biglang maipit or mahack ng tuluyan baka magsara at maiwan lang ang mga traders at investors na mga luhaan.
703  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are the Altcoins Going to Dip in Short Term? on: April 13, 2024, 07:43:57 PM
Yep, there are already a lot of altcoins these days and no one knows what altcoin will go pump or dump. There are already a lot of different bases, like some token unlocks, some fud to different altcoins, or some big updates from different projects.
Some also are pumping or dumping because of manipulation.

To avoid such pumping and dumping coins you should think about investment in those coins which reduces your fear to loss money. I think solana is highly profitable these days so don't skip such coin as it will show greater success as compared to new coins.

There are large number of coins which are only live due to Bull season and favor from investors but they will not live longer and will die when condition become unfavorable. Ethereum among altcoins is the best choice after which Solana is going to have tremendous success so if one ignore these coins then he will avoid the way of increasing his money and will trap into scam projects.

This is very crucial when selecting coins to invest, though it depends on how you analyze and assess projects that you think have a good potentials, you just need to consider all the factors that might triggered the possibilities of gaining decent amount of profits, more on how you settle your research and how you position your trades.

Timing is important  especially if you are a type of a trader who loves to ride along and got that big nerves to risk your money.
704  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Don't make your bets when you're tired on: April 13, 2024, 07:30:18 PM
Due to the huge pressure society puts over our shoulders, more and more people are beginning to think of sleeping as a waste of time, and they prefer to spend their time doing some of the things they want instead of sleeping, but what they do not realize is that by systematically cutting their sleeping time, not only they are reducing their life expectancy, they are also reducing their quality of life and what they can achieve when they are awake, so it is important to sleep as much as we need, that way we will be able to take the best decisions possible when we need it.

Society has made any individual that doesn't have money to be looked down on, if you don't have money you'll not be considered as a human being as you'll be disrespected always and it'll worry you therefore hustling always without sleeping until you have made money is what every individual is now doing. Many individuals don't care about their health anymore, what's important to them is how they can make money and after making the money they'll still you the money to treat their health.

But if we pay attention to our health and have good sleep when it's necessary, we can still make the money and not put our health in danger. When you feel tired, rest and don't still work or do things that'll need your brain to be active as it's not good or you'll be stressing your brain. Resting is very important and we need to do that for the least 8 hours by sleeping or we'll be stressing our brain and other body organs.

When you feel tired better to take some rest instead of pushing your way and continue with your gambling activities, it adds more stress and most of the time when you have that heavy loads inside you it really affects your decision making, unlike when you are well-rested your mindset is free and you can use whatever strategy you have in mind and execute things the way it sould be.

Chances that you feel the enjoyment and excitement is when you play without any hardship or any tireness that affecting your brain, it can also compromised your health when you gamble while you are not feeling well.

Malalaman natin yan kung yan nga ang kapalan ng Dallas pero opinyon ko lng din naman sa ginagawang adjustments ni kyrie at luka mukhang mag iiba ang direksyon  ng kapalaran nila, maganda kasi yung ikot at talagang nagtutulungan silang lahat, tapos yung supporting cast na mga role players maganda din pinapakita kaya malamang sa malamang makakapalag sila kahit sino pa yung makatapat nila.

Sa Clippers naman nagsawa na ko umasa sa kanila ilang seasons na kasing puro sablay ang attempt nila sana lang ngayon totoong healthy na silang lahat para magandang laban ang maibigay nila.

Kung wla si Kawhi Leonard, automatic talo na ang Clippers, pero kung maglalaro siya, 50-50 pa yan. Nakita na natin yan dati, si Leonard ang bantay ni Luka pero hindi rin kayang pigilan ni Leonard kahit magaling pa siya na defender. Siguro Westbrook vs Irving na rin, pero iba talaga itong Dallas, hindi na lang kina Luka at Irving umiikot ang laro kaso lahat sila involve na rin.

Siguro kung papaboran ng NBA, tiyak si Luka yun kasi candidate siya ng MVP at mukhang malaki ang chance niya na manalo.

Basta ako, Dallas ako diyan.

magandang match up talaga yan kabayan, pero sana maglalaro si Leonard para fully healthy ang both teams.

Ayun dito https://news.bet365.com/en-us/article/los-angeles-clippers-vs-dallas-mavericks-2024-nba-playoff-series-odds-for-first-round-matchup/2024041216243148513

ito ang betting odds sa series.

Quote
Los Angeles Clippers vs. Dallas Mavericks series odds
To Win Series
LA Clippers

-150

DAL Mavericks

Mukhang maganda ang odds ng Dallas kabayan, pwede mo ng kunin yan... Pero kung gusto mong mas lumaki yan, hindi ka nalang manalo ang Clippers sa game 1, for sure nasa +200 na yan.


Gusto ko yang sinabi mo mukhang llamado sa homecourt ang Clippers pag nagkataon kaya maganda nga yang paunahin mo na muna pag nanalo na sa game 1 ng series tsaka mo tayaan yung Mavs, alam naman natin na deadly din ang Mavs lalo na ngayon na maganda masyado ang pagkakabalasa ng mga players yung tipong hindi langyung dalawang main stars pero yung tulong ng mga role players talaga umpisa sa depensa tapos sa opensa medyo exciting talaga tong magiging labanan ng dalawang magkatunggaling teams, aasa na lang tayo sa mga observation at assessment natin bago taya maglagay ng ating taya.

First quarter belonged to the TNT, but the 2nd quarter is highly dominated by NLEX, so far.

TNT only need one quarter to beat the NLEX. 28-14 in the 4th in favor of the TNT, that's too much to give up.

Bollick is still good for NLEX but it was really Oftana who had a great night with 37 points, probably his season high. What kind of defense NLEX put into him? He couldn't score this much if they put good defense on him, and NLEX might be able to continue their win streak, but TNT is really good in clutch times as their experience had made them to be more competitive when its needed the most.

There's a chance NLEX would tie the game but the last shot attempt of Bollick wasn't properly set up, he was a bit out balance as he was bothered by the defense of Khobuntin and miss it.



Yup, Oftana got a great game seems that NLEX did not put that pressure too well and with a good touch and knowing how deadly this rising star is, you can't just ignore him and not to do a double when he's getting his rhythm, though like what you have said Bollick is really doing his best but not enough to snatch the game away from TNT.

Defense anticipate that Bollick will take it and good position and anticipation for Khonuntin as he manage to bothered that last attempt from Bollick.

The two things you mention are pay less and second is a greedy nature both have a great potential to destroy your trading career before start. In the mind of newcomers borrow money from someone for a few days and in these few days they will make it double this is because of the misguidance they hear from friends or YouTube etc that trading is a quick rich scheme. This includes a huge risk if you get some profit by chance then it's ok but what if you lose the fund? You will destroy your career. The second thing is greed which is attached to emotions and is a monster if you can't control this wild animal will result in losing all your assets and funds. So be careful when you come to trading and before coming get a good experience in trading.
As traders I think everyone has different level of greenmd in us because I still don't know why some traders are so confident of the market and they prefer to use 50x or 100x to trade in the market. What do surprised me is that most time they do win the trades which is the reason why they would want to keep surprising the newbies that could think that the market is as easy as that.
One need to understand different trading techniques so that we don't choose such a trading lifestyle and end up losing big in the market.

Yes, those who shared that kind of experienced inspires those newcomers to try things like this, I guess there are really traders who did well in terms of maximizing thier profits, I'm not talking about those pumpers and hypers but those who really taking their time in searching for good projects to invest.

With their dedication and focus they able to pick the right asset while still in early stage and once it pumps up they able to maximize their earnings and enjoy the outcome.
708  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Going all in and losing the bet on: April 13, 2024, 06:24:24 PM
This is the normal thing with such games, at first you will win a number of times and there after you begin on a losing trend immediately after you increase your amount of strings.


I use to play those card games sometime and I win more when I chose the low, but when the string is on high, the chances of losing becomes extremely high.

Same with how dice or other luck based games, when you are just using small bets you see good winning streaks but when you think that you already understand the game and you are assuming that your strategy is really giving you postive result, you start to adds up to your bets and from that point you'll start experiencing losing streaks and there aggressions comes up and push your way to bet more, to the point that in order to quickly recover you'll yolo everything and regret after losing it all.

Most of the time, when you go all in the outcome turned against you, it's better  to keep your patience and let the enjoyment satisfied your desire instead of pushing yourself trying to win more then lose everything after which regret really hurt your butt.
709  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling between the past and nowadays on: April 13, 2024, 06:12:49 PM

It is true that the increase in the population of gamblers is also influenced by the current situation which is increasingly modern, where there are lots of conveniences that we experience, one of which is perhaps by shopping for something without having to go to the market like in the past, because you just have to open your smartphone then orders goods on one of your favorite marketplaces, and this convenience also applies to gambling, where as we know, there are now many casinos operating in the online sector, you can gamble anywhere and anytime without any time limit. determine and not like in the past when you just went to bet at an offline casino shop where they had opening and closing hours at certain times.

Yes, the emerging technology really help improving the services and that includes gambling business, same with the concept on how online shoppings are being introduce in terms of quick and easy access, it also developed gambling business and the link is not that hard, you just need to access the website and it's up to you if you wanted to link your bank or just deposit your money to the casino wallet and you are good to play.

Quote
Yes, I also see a change in society's perspective towards gambling, as you said, previously gambling had a very negative perspective in the eyes of the general public which required them to gamble in secret, but now I see that gambling has become a common activity. which is done by the public, especially young people, who do not even hesitate to gamble in public places at online casinos via their smartphones, such as playing slots or dice or other types of live betting.

That's a big impact, as most of the gamblers nowadays are open with how they treat this venue of entertainment and with the help of thsoe vloggers and influencers things is much embraced now compared way back when the treatment for gambling is more on the negative side.
710  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: April 13, 2024, 05:56:01 PM

Basically, if the Lakers win the game against the Pelicans, they will be facing each other again in the play-in for the 7th seed. So they will be facing each other twice (if the Lakers win the last game of the season).

Pelicans will do everything to secure their spot for the second round knowing that whoever will be there for the play-in is a competitive team that can really upset anyone, taking the 6 spot might give them secure position for the 2nd round and will be able to play for the playoff series, though same with what you mentioned, if ever Lakers pull an upset they might be facing against each other in the play-in, eveyrthing still possible and positioning still important for both teams as they needed to win their last remaining game.
711  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Stopping the curse of losing streak? on: April 13, 2024, 05:41:05 PM
Having a break after the losing streak are always advisable because chasing losses can’t guarantee anything and also for your peace of mind, better not continue especially when you are already too emotional. If you are having a bad day, you can always come back but first you have to set your limit and budget to avoid further losses and always have your strategy, chasing anything is not ok its always good to have your target and stop loss amount.
It will be good for a gambler to take a break after losing because he needs to reduce his tension after getting lose. He also needs to break for a while to take a deep breath and thinks about what he needs to do after his losses. He can't continue playing gambling, especially if he lose some money and only take a rest that can helps him to thinks about the next moves. He doesn't needs to recover his lose because that will be difficult to do so he must stops his gambling activity, especially if he already losing streak.

Yes, limiting the budget is the solution to avoids the big lose so that is the way that every gambler must do. Before he playing gambling, he must have a plan about how much money he will use. Otherwise, he will lose much money without he realizes.

He needs to free up his mind to allow that new sets of strategy or remove the tension that push him to be more aggressive if you have that kind of mindset then you can avoid losing more, though some are thinking about changing games and try to use other venue to make some bets trying to work things out and if they've got some winning streaks they will continue using that game instead of going back and play again with the game that they've lost before.

More on your own decision making and how  luck may show and back you up with your chosen venue to continue your betting.
712  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling between the past and nowadays on: April 12, 2024, 11:11:10 PM
We have all noticed the changes that have occurred in gambling over the past years, as gambling in 1990 or before is not the same as it is today due to several factors, including:
-Ease of playing and more casinos.
-Inventing new tools and methods of playing.
-Online gambling and the emergence of easy-to-use applications that support all games.
-The method of advertising has changed, becoming more effective and attracting more players.
-The presence of liquidity due to the increase in the amounts that players bet.
-Provides more profit opportunities..

In your opinion, what are the factors that brought  change in the field of gambling? What is your outlook on it in the future?

The introduction of the internet has made it simpler for gamblers to gamble online, and mobile devices have increased accessibility. But, in the future, I believe we will witness even more changes. Blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies are already affecting the casino business, and I believe this trend will continue. I also believe that the sector will be more regulated as governments struggle to stay up with the rate of development. The difficulty will be to identify the correct development while safeguarding consumers. There have been certain projects, such as the ones you highlighted, but I believe there is much more that can be done. I'm really interested in how technology may help encourage ethical gambling. For example, several organizations are trying out with using artificial intelligence to monitor player behaviour and identify possible indicators of compulsive gambling.
There have been increased in the number of gamblers now compare to the olding days, this is what have changed alot between now and in the old days, I am sure that I we look closely we will still see a number of ways that the gambling sector have changed now and the past.

One other way is in the general public perception about gambling,  in the olding days, gambling is seen as bad actor in the society so many people take it as a negative act, but lately people conception amd perception about gambling have changed,  and this is because of the access to available casinos both online amd offline.

That's true, with how the acceptance is now being applied  most gamblers are no longer afraid they are now expressing their participation unlike before where they need to hide their gambling participation,  and like what many other said, the easy access brings more people to this market, with a the simple visit to the site you can perform your gambling and Play your favorite games, technology bring us near to gambling industry and casino owners really taking the big advantage  on it.
713  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: April 12, 2024, 08:08:53 PM
2 games will be happening today.
Converge vs Phoenix and Ginebra vs Bossing

The first game look so easy that we can make easy money here. Converge is now domoralize, they are not winning game so it will continue.

As per the bookie market, Phoenix is only -6.5 which should be a steal since Converge have lost double digits againts strong team like ROS and Magnolia. Also, I'm betting on the TT with under 94.5 for Converge.

With a demoralize squad I also think that those who take this handicap for Phoenix will have a good edge winning their pick, though we really can't tell if how they will take the win, but from those current outcomes against stronger teams Converge is not playing with a competitive stats, they are just playing for the said schedule but winning mentalities is no longer present as they don't have any chance to move forward for the next round.

It's just how Phoenix will win this game hopefully they will secure it with a double digit lead for the sake of those who bet for them, though it's PBA and gambling is always have a big factors on how it's going to end, just saying!

Not the way I expected, Phoenix able to have a good lead but in the end, they only won by 6 points, I still loss my bet. On the TT, it was a clear over for converge as they scored a total of 107 points, way too much on the line offered by our sportsbook. It's really unpredictable, when a team that we choose win the game but there's a spread that didn't cover.

On the 2nd game, I was also able  to put a bet but on the bigger odds like x4 predicting Ginebra to win by 1-5 points, but looking at the score now, that seemed not happening anymore as Ginebra is already having a very comfortable lead.

I don't see how come Phoenix allows Converge to outscored them in the final quarter seems something fishy as they let that big lead dissappear and not covered the handicap,  just simply say that it might be a rigged or something that controlled them since from the very beginning they are in-control and I don't see that coming where Converge can convert that much, it's too far from the over ans under  so both handicap and under  bets is ruined as Phoenix messed it up.

2nd game, no chance for Blackwater as Gin kings really used everything to make sure that they will not going to mess up in this game, double digits securing the handicap for bettors who entrusted their bets for them.
714  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's your take? on: April 12, 2024, 12:19:42 PM
Straight to the point most people are afraid of compiling big odds and now decide to go for lower odds with huge staking power which is not even guaranteed to give the predicted results. For example, there could be a match between Newcastle VS Tottenham Hotspur and both teams are having 1.5 and 1.3 odds respectively, a gambler may decide to bet only on Tottenham to straight win by only selecting this one game on his slip, what is your take on this kind of gambling, risking bigger money on some low odds with a small potential win and still the possibility of your pick to win is not even certain.

Actually, this is what makes sport betting amazing. There was a time I saw a bet slip online, the bettor staked a million naira, that's about $1300 on a single bet with 1.10 odd in favour of Barca to win but the underdog won and the gambler lost the bet.

We've a popular saying in my local language that if you want to eat a frog, go for the big ones so that if it kills you, atleast people would know you've a good taste. Sometimes, you'll be very certain that the favourite team is going to win but you'll get the shocker of your life. As a result of this, I prefer the going for the underdogs with big odds, I stake with small amount and even if I lose I won't feel it.

Indeed, even how sure you are placing your bet with a heavy favorite there's still a chance of suffering losing your bet, we just need to remember that we are inside gambling, and even how small the chances of losing upset can still happen to you, though there are many gamblers who deeply assess the game before placing their bets and most of them manage to win with the same strategy but there's no assurance that you can keep winning as what I mentioned that underdogs can bring upset to a heavy favorite.
715  Economy / Gambling / Re: My betting strategies on: April 12, 2024, 12:11:46 PM
It is important that before we start the gambling upon each category of games we have in a casino, we should understand the best strategies we can personally adopt in playing such kind of games, and this is done or achieved after the first discovery from us in understanding that the particular kind of game we are going for only requires either skills or luck, then we can know the best strategy to use in playing for our own maximum satisfaction.

Yeah, upon understanding the game, you'll be able to adopt and know what kind of strategy you may use to maximize your satisfactions, most of the time you use your strategy to find some edge to win but for some gamblers they are just using it to extend their stay and to prolong their games.

They just want to continue playing and enjoying while they still have balance, it's only an additional if they win some decent amount when stop playing.
In my opinion, it is really important for the player to understand that the player’s strategy is often not aimed at necessarily obtaining a win, or at least at clearly increasing the likelihood of such a win through thoughtful and balanced gaming actions.  And also understand that your strategy is also aimed at increasing the time you spend in the game and really prolonging your emotional state that this game gives you. 
So, in principle, you can probably divide the strategy in the game into these two components.  Although probably no one really thinks about this, especially being in a state of excitement and euphoria from the game itself.  And sometimes the brain is completely occupied with the game and has no opportunity to think about it.

Most of the time that situation happened, when you are already occupied and that excitement already dominated inside you, most probably  instead of keeping the strategy that enjoyment leads you to forget about how you set things out, you only realize that you made a mistake when you already suffer on losing your money.

Even how good you are in planning and how good your understanding but when greed or that kind of excitement dominates most of the time it leads in losing a lot instead of improving the outcome.
716  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich or poor gambler, who should risk more? on: April 12, 2024, 11:57:15 AM
With this thought, I think it's safe to say that gambling isn't really meant for the poor guys because gambling isn't something that is certain so to risk the little you have knowing fully well that the odds and chances are totally against you isn't really a wise chose and something to do but you know one funny thing about this context of gambling and the poor,  they ought to always tell themselves about someone huge wins and they feel that they too can replicate it.

How can you say gambling is not for the poor. I think when a poor person is addicted to gambling, then there is going to be a problem because I don't understand someone who don't have what to eat want to gamble. A person who is poor and is addicted to gambling will only have one thought and the thought will always be to win a big amount of money that is big enough to change his life and with such mentality, it will be so difficult for such person to win money. I still believe that whether a person is poor or rich, we can gamble in our convinience without affecting our financial status or go above our means because of gambling.


Some area in the world there are many gamblers that poor and rich. Like in my country I saw many poor people want to gamble because of the false mindset.  They aim that they will earn a lot of money in gambling and even they are poor they will make a way to gamble without knowing that through gambling they are pit themselves into a very poor they will risk some of their money but didn't think what are the outcome. And if loss them some of them don't have food to eat.

That's a sad reality, with poor gamblers they are willing to submit themselves to a situation like this, since they are betting their only money once they've loss their bets they will suffer not to eat and worse they also bring their love ones on this same situation, leaving them not to bring food for their families.

Unlike with those who have some extra money, rich people who can afford to take a big risk and even they've loss they still have money to feed themselves and their families.

What do you think is wrong in having a 65 yr old man gamble? People that are in their 80s still gamble as the only limitation for someone to gamble is if you’re underage(mostly below the age of 18).
While I think this particular individual actions are deplorable, I see nothing wrong with a 65 yr old gambling responsibly at the casino.
People who have a problem gambling responsibly have done and probably would still do crazy things in a bid to get money. And such individuals, having accumulated a shit load of debts would cook up crazy ideas to get money and pay off their debts.
Of course there is no harm for those who are old and still gambling as long as they can gamble responsibly and I agree with what you say that the limit someone can gamble is only for those who are not more than 18 years old because for them have not been able to manage their gambling well and this will make their parents responsible for what they do, so it is important for those who have not reached the age of more than 18 years.

If someone does something crazy about gambling, of course they will continue to experience financial problems and they will of course have a lot of debt and also have difficulty paying it off because they keep hoping to get a big win that can enable them to pay off the debt they have, but it is very difficult to do so. win if you continue to gamble irresponsibly.

I guess that argument is true, continue playing irresponsibly will only lead you to lose more and in terms of financial capabilities once you lose everything you'll do something that unusual like loaning money or selling your valuable items, and if you lose again the next resort is doing something that unexpectedly, something like doing crimes or begging for money to continue your gambling activities.

Though there are responsible gambler who knows how to quit but most of the time, there are more gambler who are not, they push more even they continue losing money.

We don't have to take this literally, yes we have emotion but we need to be focus if we want to start winning in gambling. Actually it's not true that we can never win in gambling, we all have a chance to win in gambling but the chance is very slim because most of us does not aim for long term success. We will only achieve that state if we start realizing that we want to take a serious journey in gambling, and of course I'm not talking about casino games where the house edge are present, this game refers to games that we can use our skills.

More on how you focus and drive yourself realizing on how you can use your experienced and learn what kind of strategy to use in order to have something decent in return, making decision is something that you can work on using your knowledge and understanding, keep in mind that you should always have that awareness to avoid making huge mistake and lost a lot.

Regulating emotions while betting is crucial to avoid impulsive decisions and potential financial losses. It's important because strong emotions can cloud judgment, leading to choices not based on logic or strategy. Techniques such as setting clear limits, taking breaks, and practicing mindfulness can help maintain emotional control. This emotional regulation ensures that betting remains a form of entertainment rather than a harmful habit.
The right decision will always give positive results on the bets we place and will provide a win that benefits us, but we need to remember that to make the right decision of course we must be able to manage patience and also greed in placing bets because without patience of course It's just very difficult to control emotions when betting and it won't give good results from the bets we place.
Setting clear boundaries and not betting continuously will of course really help us in controlling our emotions because when we bet continuously of course we will place bets greedily and this is very difficult for us to enjoy betting.

Yes, right decision gives you positive vibes, though there's time that you might missed your pick and lose your bet but with right decision there's still enjoyment that you will be able to fulfill.

Some of the things that makes children grow up with wrong knowledge is because their parents kept away information that they needed to know while growing up because they are afraid that if this children have an idea about what they kept away from them that they may start doing those things without their parents awareness but the best way to make a child stay away from a bad habit is to teach the child the basic necessity they need to know and the consequences that surrounds it If the choose to get involved because when you do that as a parent, you have already given the child the knowledge of the dangers involved so even if they are introduced to those things by others outside it will be difficult for them to take part in it.
Not letting our children know that we are gamblers doesn't mean we should keep them away from knowing about the repercussions if they choose to gamble.
I basically think like this as well, there is a difference between teaching a kid how to gamble, a very irresponsible thing to do, and teaching them how gambling works and why it is not a good idea for them to participate in it, this way in the case one of their peers tried to introduce them to that world, they will be prepared to take a responsible choice and stay away from it, unlike what happens to those that are kept ignorant about the dangers of gambling at such an early age and decide to try it because the rest of their friends are willing to do it.

Such kind of an approach will help those young minds not to deal with gambling if they are aware on what danger or risk that they'll going to encounter, like what you just said, two different approach and there's  a big difference especially when a kid being taught the right things that they need to understand, it's simple as you are preventing them and you are giving them that idea if they push their ways and let them enter they will just messing up with their lives.

It's something that needed to taking care correctly, as there are many adult person who are not caring about the after effects of what the kids are seeing from them.

It's  pretty normal for children if they also do what they see in their parents, that's the nature of children so as a parent, we should adjust ourselves and limit the things we do once they are in front of us because they don't know the things that shouldn't be imitated because parents will serve as role models for children until they grow up. if they see what you and your spouse are doing, they can imitate it while they are young, not unless you explain every detail of what should not be imitated by children from what they see in their parents.
Children are good imitators so what they see from our bad habits, for example gambling, will of course be easily remembered by their brains to continue to remember it and force them to try doing it in the future, usually they will often feel curious if they have never tried doing it or received an explanation about gambling. What is meant, especially since the sophistication of technology is currently quite developed, they can know what his father is playing on his computer monitor, of course that will be the beginning of disaster for him.

The point is that as a parent or father, don't ever try to show your bad habit of gambling in front of your children. After all, there is still time to gamble when they are asleep. Like what I do, I only gamble at night when they are asleep. Don't force yourself to gamble too much in front of your children. Even though there is a very profitable gambling betting opportunity, don't be too enthusiastic, stay relaxed, arrange the time so they don't see it, don't let us explain what they should, don't ask about it, especially about the gambling that we play too often in front of them.

Yeah right, they can easily immitate something and they can find the reason why they want to do things when they see someone who's doing it in front of them, curiosities is something that you need to consider when taking actions in front of your kids, and gambling is not exempted as they can simply use the internet to search for it and learn how things works.

I feel like Lakers are having a coaching problem, and it is not even about Ham being a good or bad coach, it is about the fact that the team doesn't look like they care about him or listen to him at all. I get that it may not be all that simple to make changes, but you have to realize that we are going to see a lot more changes if they start to respect the coach. Wherever Lebron goes, whichever team he is on, after a while he becomes the coach and that's what I believe we are seeing here again.

In the end, playoffs are always a bit questionable and even the 8th seed could go to finals, we have seen it very recently with Miami for example, so we should not really consider anything done yet, lets see how the playoffs will go.

Yes indeed, Miami make it happen and with how the current selections of those teams that competing in the West side for sure all of them are capable to beat one another, even the play-in teams who will have that hardship to move forward if given a chance they are very much capable, though we know that the defending champ still got an intact cores and they are still have that edge having that experienced from the last season's title.

In terms of coaching issue, more on the players and how they will play along each others, especially if you have those known stars who act as a main leader, it's tough to control but you need to adjust and play with the flow.
