I just met a friend while playing in a lottery called Keno. He is a good gambler and sometimes hits jackpots. As a pensioner with grown children, he is a heavy bettor. I noticed that he is a generous gambler. He uses half of his winnings to treat friends, neighbors, and relatives every time he wins. He does this to invite good karma and since he acknowledges his gambling addiction, people who know him don't question him.

One of his friends asked him why he kept betting instead of saving so he would have something when he needed it.

His answer was straightforward, ' I was surprised by his answer. His friends felt guilty for asking him. Some gamblers are that generous to avoid questions about their gambling activities and to continue gambling.

How about you? Are you generous and if so, why are you generous?

In my case, I am a little generous because winning is a blessing that should be shared. However, I will not make people feel guilty when I give an amount from my blessing.

Salamat sa update kabayan, sakto tapos na din yung cravings ko sa Indian cuisine kasi kumain ako sa Indian restaurant malapit sa work ko at kausap ko yung friend ko, plan nila magpaburger at pizza sa work pero mukhang hindi ako gaganahan sa pakain nila kasi natikman ko na dati yun at ang pangit ng experience ko dun. Ang astig siguro kung tumatanggap ng bitcoin o kahit anong crypto yung live band no?

That's right, I think indeed the price of cigarettes may continue to rise and even if the price continues to rise but for active smokers I think they will still try to buy it, because as you said for people who are used to it then they will not be able to stop, even if they cannot buy cigarettes that have become their favorite I think they will still buy cigarettes that are below the price of their favorite cigarettes because for heavy smokers they will not be able to stop smoking.

Yes that's right, for active smokers or heavy smokers they will not be able to stop just like that let alone totally because if they are heavy smokers then I don't think they will be able to stop smoking, if they still feel fine with being active smokers then they will not stop, because in my opinion it is also their own enjoyment.

Kumbaga kasi basta makatanggap lang sila ng bayad sa pag promote ng online casino ayos na sa kanila. Kahit anong issue pa ang lumabas sa promotion nila or possible nga din na hindi sila aware sa ganitong mga nangyayari at nag bubulag-bulagan lang sila para magkaroon ng offers sa mga inaalok sa kanila na promotion. Mataas din kasi talaga ang binabayad sa ganyan per video kaya hindi mo din talaga masisisi yung iba na masilaw.

Naka deal ko itong si Marvin Favis dati sa mga crypto projects na gustong magpa promote sa Philippines market. Sobrang dali nyang mag accept ng mga crypto project deals as long na may bayad. Mabuti nlng talaga at mga legit project yung na deal ko sa kanya dati pero napansin ko na sobrang dami nya pinopromote na halos wala na syang pake kung scam or hindi basta may bayad sya.

Hindi din biro ang rate ng promotion nya kaya hindi na ako magugulat kung bakit sobrang laki ng money involved sa issue na ito. Ayoko syang ijudge since professional naman sya ka deal para imeet yung end goal sa side nya. Napansin ko lng talaga na careless sya pagdating sa mga kinukuha nyang project para I promote kaya maaari rin na may fault sya pero definitely hindi sya part ng scammer. Naging tool lng sya siguro ng mga scammer kagaya ng nangyari kay Yexel.

I only use a small portion of my salary for gambling. Even if I win, it's not enough to start a business or do something remarkable with the money I earn. Usually, I just spend the money on simple things like snacks or alcohol to share with my friends. Sometimes when we win in gambling, we treat the whole squad to a round of drinks or snacks.

Actually matagal na nga itong usapin tsaka naka ilang years na nga tayo is still hindi sila nag kakaroon ng move regarding with the crypto ang pinaka latest na nga lang is itong issue with the Binance and we know its already february and still wala na pa din silang update sa case na ito kasi sure satin hodler sa binance eh, tapos ang ilan sa atin is talagang paldo na sa crypto pero sure ako aangal din sila or tayo na tahimik ang buhay tapos biglang magkakaroon ng ganito.

That's a very thoughtful approach towards gambling. Your commitment to not gambling with money owed to others and having extra funds before participating is commendable. Can you share more about the experiences you've witnessed that led you to make such a decision, and how do you think this mindset can contribute to a responsible gambling culture?

Sometimes proverbs or speech serve as a great motivation for gamblers. I have heard of some gamblers I know who sometimes gave up gambling but they decided to start gambling again after hearing some motivational words. But those words are really true. If luck favors gambling, there is a chance of winning the jackpot but the luck will not return for the person who refrains from trying. A gambler must try. If he tries, he can get his destiny one time. These words are not only motivational but also true. I just want to say if try you will get the chance.

keep focusing on what you are doing and do it, if you like economics just do it, don't listen to the advice of random people on the internet, there is too much misdirection in today's era, not everything you watch can be taken from wisdom. Economics is an important science so don't be inferior because of that. I know several great economists who make state policies, because of their policies the country can achieve 5% economic growth in a year.

Smoking does not only kill yourself and others through smoke but you are also killing your purse. 😅 Cigarette here in my country is quiet high in price per pack due to huge taxation. Instead of spending you hard earned or extra money on cigarettes it would be better if you save it so you can buy assets in the future like Bitcoin, precious metals, or real estate if it is sufficient enough for those specific investments.

There is no doubt that some may real winner but the situation of having consecutive winners with the biggest pot, that's crazy and dubious. Right now, there's also the winner of P45M winner or approximately $800k. And again, since the news about these jackpots are posted on social media of news and current affairs for every channel, the reaction of everyone is just making each other laugh but obviously the sarcasm is there about it's the PCSO who has won again.

Many kabayans are going to bet no matter what the issue is but, it's not also going to be removed in the minds of everyone that PCSO is doing something shady even with or without any investigation, proven or not.

Let me start by asking a question that is not very much different from the topic..

In your entire gambling journey, have you ever had a series of losses to the extent you hated yourself so much for being so unlucky?

I was going through reddit in the early hours of today, and came across a user who lamented bitterly through his post, of how unlucky he has been in gambling in the past few weeks, like almost a month now, he said he bets minimum, twice every day, but have not won a dime for the past weeks, and this made him hate himself so much, I sincerely felt pity for him, for I remember one time I lost a huge sum of money to betting, I felt so bad that I thought of killing myself  .

So, let's share our worst gambling experiences, have you ever hated yourself so much due to lack of winnings in gambling? To what extent, and how did it end?

Do you still hate yourself even now? 

Lets discuss.

Such people are manipulators, that knows how to talk, get in the head and convince people in what they say. I find it funny when people believe in shamans or fortune tellers. We live in a world of technology, we have modern medicine. What those people can do? Give a root or some dirt to cure from any disease? What can they predict? That it will rain when they see dark clouds? What all such people predict or foreseen is rubbish. They can only predict nearest past. Such people cant help gamblers. All of their predictions are based on luck. I would better ask for an opinion of a sports analytics or professional bettor, than trust a seer.

Yan ang hirap sayo kabayan nang inggit kapa hehehe, sayang dapat manlang sana kabayan nagtake ka ng pictures dyan at pinost mo dito para kahit papaano ay maramdaman namin na nakapunta narin kami dyan dahil kababayan ka namin.

Ang tanung nung kumain kaba dyan ay pinamabayad mo din ba ang Bitcoin bilang experience narin o pera natin sa peso ang pinambayad mo parin sa 2 brown boys  restaurant na kinainan mo?

At ito na nga ang self proclaim crypto expert na si Marvin Favis ay na scam daw at sa tingin nyo maniniwala ba kayo na nabiktima talaga sya nito? kasi tingin ko nag huhugas kamay lang tong taong to para maka-iwas sa mga taong apektado ng scam na naganap sa kanila,







Credit pala sa Bitpinas para sa pic at article nato ito din pala ang link nila Marvin Favis seeks Tulfo's help after falling victim to investment fraud

Ito din ang video nung dumulog sila kay Senator Raffy Tulfo para mag sumbong  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMRL0FRCLG4

Grabe nangyari no kung totoo man talaga na na scam sya parang tumangga sya dyan dahil biruin mo expert sya kuno sa mundo ng investment at crypto pero ito pumunta sya kasama yung mga scam at nanghingi ng tulong kay tulfo para possible mabawi yung perang nakuha sa kanila.

Ano take nyo sa kaso ito na kasangkot si Marvin Favis.

That's right, but rather than telling other people about our success in gambling and still having to think about how to tell the story or stop telling it.
For me, it's better not to talk at all about the gambling we do. unless that person wants to hear our story.

If people started to gamble because they wanted to make money, that is something we can understand, but at some point they need to realize that this is not possible and they should change their attitude towards gambling, and if they cannot do this then maybe they should think about leaving gambling behind, as it is obvious they cannot really deal with it in a healthy way, however there is many people that have acknowledge that fact but refuse to stop gambling because they want to recover the money they lost, not realizing they will just lose more money if they keep chasing their losses.

I don't feel excited when I am placing a bet because I hold this belief that any money placed is already lost and so, excitement only comes when I win.

Although, sometimes I anticipate winning because this feeling is normal for gamblers. If there is no anticipation I don't think any money-chasing gambler will even gamble.

Let us discuss and share your experience so that people could hear and learn from your  story in the quest for you to win a game that led you to doing or going that extra miles in such engagement.
