7721  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: May 23, 2021, 11:25:29 AM
I'm so happy playoff basketball is here.  While this season has still been a bit abnormal due to the start time and shortened game schedule, it's nice to be out of the bubble and into what feels like a bit more normal of a playoff situation.  Looking forward to a month of overeating, drinking too much, swearing at various local public televisions and having an all around great time.  It doesn't get too much better than the NBA playoffs.  Don't forget to have fun and surround yourself with some other NBA fans!
I'm feeling the same that the games are going with the public and that's also removing some stress and anxiety as a watcher because of the pandemic has hit badly many sports including the NBA. I'm eager to watch the game tomorrow, the first game of Lakers. We're always certain that there are a lot of Lakers fan here. But who's going to be with the Suns tomorrow against the Lakers? there are 4 games that will happen tomorrow and the other game that I'm interested with is with the Grizzlies and Utah Jazz.

There is nothing better than seeing fans in the stands (no matter the sport). I said few times already that Suns will eliminate the Lakers (probably in six) and the other game I expect with huge interest is Knicks - Hawks. I like the way NY play D and in my opinion this will be the key in the series.
I agree, that's why actual fans being live on the stadium or court is giving that encouragement that anytime soon, we're going to be back to the normal that we've used to have every game, the crowd, the fans, the teams, cheers and those loud noises that we usually hear when there's a game live. And with your opinion about Suns eliminating Lakers on six, we'll get to see if your right. This is why I like to hear different opinions and thoughts in stages like this because that's giving me that comparison and other possibilities.

When seeing those future events on what would happen if we do spend too much then based up on common sense and self realizations you can actually picture it out ahead of time

but we dont know on what would be the consequences further on or what are the things would be mainly affected after you had commited such mistake.Its true that this is something not an easy thing for you to control
I thought that you can picture the situation ahead if you're realizing it but I guess this is just for us who have experience and knows how to handle the situation. There's a likelihood that realization you're seeing might happen if you know what you do and there's an experience that ticks that in your mind. But the problem is that there are new addicted gamblers that can't picture it out. They don't listen to the experiences of others and that makes them ending very bad which serves as a hard lesson for them to learn.

This slapping tournaments are probably the best thing for me to watch after MMA, and it can be both brutal and funny at the same time.  Grin
They even have Pay Per Views like in MMA and their own Punchdown website so they are growing like separate sport and special shirts.
When can we see Slapping national teams and world cup?  Smiley


https://punchdownfight.com/
I don't know when these slapping competitions have started but I agree with you that it's becoming big and there might be some national teams for those nearby countries where it was originated. The spread of it is quickly happening and who knows if a world cup comes?  Grin
That would be a dream of every slapper to get into that tournament one day and it's not just all about the prize but as well as the pride that they'll be proclaimed as the strongest and toughest slapper.

That's a trivia thanks. That's why I think Yeng Guiao has given a good signal.

Jericho Cruz already played for Guam last year so it's not really that Yeng Guiao gives him a signal but that was necessary.

Guam's next qualifying game will be next month against Hong Kong and since the PBA restart doesn't finalize yet, there will be no problem if Cruz will play overseas in the meantime. If only the earlier FIBA scheduled was followed, on which Guam will face Hong Kong last February instead, there will be no conflict for Cruz schedule if PBA will restart next month.
Yeah, there should be no problem with his participation if the schedules were followed. But the pandemic hits and we all know that a lot has been adjusted and affected.

Jericho Cruz deserves to be given more opportunity to play and to be in a better team, it's just so pity that he played with a struggling NLEX team, this team hs not been in the Finals or even semi Finals when coach Yeng assume it, it's very different during coach Yeng time with ROS or prior to that where he has more success.
It's about their contract and what they've signed for. He can demand if he's really demandable by the teams or at least gets to jump into another team that wants to take him if his contract expires with his current team. Well, we don't have to think of it. They're not even problematic about it and just play if they're told to do so.

Both are experienced and it's been 2 years since the last fight with Manny.

Footing experience, this fight should be an easy win for Manny.
I'm for Manny on this fight I wouldn't just ignore the professional record of Spence because he doesn't have a loss and he's got enough experience as well. I wouldn't say that this will be an easy win for Manny but this could also be the same as other matches that he's got before. I'm taking the note that Spence isn't an easy opponent IMHO.

Sa ngayon scalping muna ako kay ICP, laki ng kinikita ko sa kanya kahit downtrend siya.
Mabuti kung ganun baka andyan ang swerte mo sa scalping. Kung effective naman yan sayo at kumikita ka ng malaki, tuloy tuloy mo lang baka yan talaga ang para sayo. Naka leverage ka ba o spot lang?

Para sa akin masyadong pang maaga para masabing potential and stable coin and ICP, pero hindi natin pwedeng alisin ang posibilidad na ito nga ay potential in the future. Lalo na nitong mga araw na nakalipas na kung saan ay nag dip ang market pero ang ICP ay mabilis na naka recover. Kailangan pa natin ng information at knowledge tungkol sa ICP.
Matagal na din kasi talaga yan, ngayon lang na launch yung mismong coin nila pero ilang taon din ang naging development nila. At pagka-launch palang, Binance na agad kaya nasabi na may potential kasi rekta agad sila sa pinaka kilalang exchange ngayon eh. Tinitignan ko presyo ni ICP pero malaki laki din nawala sa kanya pero kahit na ganun, may mga kumikita pa rin naman at nasa top rank agad siya.

Guys, very fresh news and this thread's title is no longer going to happen. Check out Manny Pacquiao's Facebook page, he just posted about him against Spence on  August 21, 2021, in Vegas. (https://www.facebook.com/MannyPacquiao/posts/313198150177686)
I have been looking for some articles and fresh news on the web but I haven't found one. I guess this only proves that there are no other media that knew it until Manny Pacquiao has announced it. But later, for sure there will be news about this upcoming and confirmed match.


That's a good one, even better than the Crawford fight. Thanks for posting that mate, I like that one, I thought Manny will not anymore fight an undefeated champion, and this news is just a big one, hopefully, it will happen because we already have two possible fights for him that was not realized.
No problem!  Wink Now, there's always the talks and negotiations that are not going public and this has come as a surprise although there were already rumors that have been said that this match is going to come and it finally did. I think OP can change the name of the title so we can continue discussing the said match that has been confirmed. It is going to happen because it has been finally officially announced by him first through his facebook page which is a verified page and has been also reported by the media after his post.
7729  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Shiba Inu is listed on Binance? Which coin will be the next Shiba? on: May 22, 2021, 07:29:36 PM
doge and shiba are just meme coins, and they did go up very high, but that was only due to temporary hype, and following a bullish market. but now when the market is bearish, the two joke coins are also falling deeply
Every crypto is falling and has to go through the rough times again. But for Shiba, it only means that there's a big hit on it because a lot of people have already cashed out their money on it. The recovery might come but it's no guarantee that those who have invested at the top can recover as quick as they can. It won't be the same anymore if they're going to wait for its recovery. The lesson has been learned that whenever you're going to invest in short term, that's fine but if for long term, choose a better crypto.

HODL lang talaga hanggang kaya pa, hanggang meron pang natitira o nakatabing fiat na panggastos. Okay din naman mag take profit lalo na yung mga nakapag benta kahit kalahati bago bumagsak ang presyo sa $50K below, advantage din talaga yung updated ka sa mga crypto news and trends mapa positive o negative man yan lalo na sa Bitcoin dahil minsan nakatutulong din yan upang malaman kung anong susunod na hakbang ang pwedeng gawin.
Malaking indicator pa rin talaga yung mga pangit na balita. Akala ko parang wala na siyang epekto pero nitong nakaraan halos sunod sunod na hindi magagandang balita. Ang akala ko lang sa may China, matagal na nilang binan yung bitcoin pero parang wala lang naman. Parang naging taga paghatid lang ng takot yun eh kaya biglang baba lang din. Pero kahit ganun pa man, yun naging reaksyon ng market eh at sumabay pa sa mga tweets ni Elon. Mas maganda talaga mag take ng profit kapag bullish tapos abang abang nalang ulit kapag medyo bumaba na.

Lets say you wanted 100% complete privacy, which coin would you go for? I think Monero is the best but I could use other peoples opinion on this. I heard many things with Zcash, "its a failed privacy coin" "It can be tracked" etc. Is this true or do you believe zcash is decent?
Too many topics about the best private coin in the forum. And most of the answers are saying that it's Monero. I haven't heard anything such as "failed privacy coin" and it's pointing to Zcash. By the way, speaking of Monero, it's also one of the cryptocurrencies that cannot skip this correction. In all summary of this topic about the best private coin, we're all going to agree that Monero shall and will remain to be the top 1 privacy coin.

Parang naalala ko eh nag require ang pi ng KYC para makapag withdraw sila ng pi coin?
Kaya para sa akin data farming ang ginawa nila noon kaya parang scam sa akin.
Tama ka. Parang yan di pagkaalala ko sa coin na yan. Parang ginawa lang nilang way yung sa pagmimina through phones para makakuha ng mga data ng mga interesado sa project nila. Mukhang wala rin namang nangyayari at ang kawawa yung mga nagsayang lang oras tapos wala rin namang reward na natanggap o kung meron man, parang wala namang malinaw na market para sa coin na yan. Wala nga rin atang distribution para sa mga nagmina kaya total waste of time lang.

Nasubukan kong mag mine nito, matagal na. Siguro inakala ko lang na legit ang proyektong dahil sa Twitter account nilang merong (√). Naging patok lang naman ito sa socmed lalo na sa FB dahil sa kanilang referral system, pag build up ng network para mas tumaas yung rate pag mine ng Pi.

Pero nawalan na ako ng interes dito dahil sa mahina nilang support, hindi mabigyan ng sagot yung mga querries.

Oo, ang alam ko may KYC verification rin sila at naka-link sa iyong FB account. Meron ding phone verification na dapat daw makumpirma ito para makuha ang iyong na-mine sa distribution phase.
Kung sa queries hindi sila makasagot, lalo pa siguro sa progress ng project. Kaya tama nga na wag nalang sayangin oras sa project na yan.

IMHO, this will never stop until the hidden agenda that they're doing will be fulfilled. With all of that news about cracking down, energy consumption, and banking, aren't these reported and on the news once or a quite times a few years ago about bitcoin? It would always be the combination of this news and they're the ones that are making their pockets filled. They know that putting such news in the mainstream will actually help them with their agenda to spread fud and sell and then buy the dip. If there's another negative news and about criticizing the market, you'll see that the market will recover as quickly as it can.

Di na natin kayang pigilan ang cashless society, at yang pagtanggal ng ating umiiral na coins, una mas mahal pa sa value ng coins yung bakal na ginagamit at yung pagmelt nito, kaya nakita marahil ng central bank na mas makakatipid kung gagawin ng coinless ang ating bansa, sa issue sa mga maliliit o mga less fortunate nating mga kababayan, sa tingin ko di yan magiging issue, dahil ang mga pinoy madaling maka adopt ng bago kahit ano pa ito.
Doon na talaga ng mundo natin at kahit sa bansa natin alam nating medyo nahuhuli tayo sa technology ay doon nadin ang papunta natin. Sa materyales sa paggawa ng coins, tama nga na pwedeng mas makakatipid sila kapag ganun at hindi nila kailangan mag angkat pa kasi mas magiging madali para sa kanila ang pag-adopt sa coinless kasi mas magaan nga kapag ganun at hindi mo na kailangan pa bitbitin mismo ang mga coin natin. Pero tignan natin kung mapapatupad nila yan sa eksaktong taon na binibigay nila pero kung hindi, talagang medyo mabagal ang pag usad natin pagdating sa teknolohiya.

Because he understands that players are looking for better opportunities, and he understands how SMB and Pangilinan control the PBA.  He is a very vocal coach and I think he likes Jericho a lot and believes in him so he gives him an opportunity to showcase his talent abroad. With that being said, he also understands what his team can do only and it's not as good as the SMB teams.
Yes, that's why many admire Coach Yeng Guiao for the way he handles things and his players. But later on once Jericho is done with playing for Guam, he's good and can easily come back to the team. That's why in the position of Jericho, Yeng understands that the guy has multiple opportunities and he doesn't want to be the obstacle for the guy to take as many opportunities as he can. Not just a coach to coach a team but also like a father to most of the players that he's coaching.

Just going back on this thread. I've watched a video of another slapping tournament and it's like being held everywhere, inside a ring, inside the bar and anywhere it can happen. But the video that I've watched is that I'm surprised to see that there's also a girl's competition for slapping. I find it odd and I don't know what to react to upon watching that video. The boy's slapping tournament is intense but I think I cannot take those blows and slaps for the girl's edition of slapping. The video was just posted on Facebook and you can search it with those keywords that you already know, girl, slap, etc.

As if he can recover that much mentally after losing that within a single night. It's easy to say some solutions to people like him because we're not in his position. But it's hard for him to absorb all of those suggestions because he's still in the mode of shock and disappointment. We're sure that he's going to recover in the future with those means like just going back to normal life and having himself focused in other ways like what you've said like investing. Although we don't have an idea how long he's going to do it and will able to conquer that bad feeling he's experiencing.
Self-pity, victimization or blaming the casino and gambling don't solve any problems. There is no easy solutions, but potential solutions are only going to get harder if the gambler get focused on the pain. Money comes and go all the time and nobody should get too attached to it. It's different than losing a beloved person: the amount you lose today, you can recover tomorrow or even more since you set your mindset on this direction.
Good and positive thoughts attract energies of the same kind which help us solving our problems in different areas of our lives, that is what I believe.
Those are easy words to say. Those can be followed by him but getting over what happened can last longer than what we can imagine. If he's a guy that surely can get over it easily then that's good for him. But if you're going to read what's on the first page, he's about to take his life so the trauma and stress that this incident has brought him are harder than you can imagine. Those solutions given are easy to say but applying it to his current state is a question. It's hard to see gamblers ending up with those bad results and starts to think of taking their own lives because they've gambled wrongly and lost a lot.

Does Jericho Cruz have a fan here guys? He's got a go signal from Yeng Guiao that he's okay to fly to Guam and play for the national team for the Fiba Asia Qualifiers. Although we know that the national team of Guam isn't that strong but at least they're sourcing a player from our country to play for their national team which is really a thing to be proud of.
(https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/jericho-cruz-could-miss-pba-games-for-nlex-due-to-guam-commitment-a795-20210517)

I'm a big fan of this guy, so you are saying that he is an import of the team? I think he is a full-blooded Filipino so he would not be there to represent the county, maybe they plan to make him a naturalized player?

Jericho Cruz is a full-bloodied Filipino but he has three nationality which is Filipino, Guamanian and Northern Mariana Islander. This only means that he can play on these three countries wherever his services is needed. He did not play in the Philippines as we have a lot of guards in our country while in Guam, his talent is much needed there as they lack players as basketball is not popular in Guam.

He is not an import or a naturalized player but played as a local.

That's a trivia thanks. That's why I think Yeng Guiao has given a good signal. At least if there are opportunities like this, he's not that too selfish not to give that to his players. I'm sure that he's going to put his best to put up the team of Guam but for us, we'll always stay to our national team and the support that's needed to be given. But whenever our kababayan is playing on any other national team, we're also supporting them but it becomes least priority.  Tongue

I think it's not about the amount but we can all learn from his mistakes, as gamblers you should always consider the worst effects and not just consider and dream about the good impact or profit that will be obtained.
The amount is still huge and that's why it matters but you're correct that the effects of our actions when we gamble should be considered. The effects vary and probably the impact of it depends also on the amount that we lose. And if we're just like OP and we've lost that in an instant within a single night, I know what I'll be feeling by that time. That would be a nightmare to me that I won't forget. Maybe if the time that I get old, I'll remember it and would just make fun of it but while the days are still near to that exact event which I've lost that amount, it would put me most of the time in bad setting and mood.
Indeed. But this gambler, as any other who also has lost big, have no other option than recovering the gone money through healthy methods like working and investing. For a first world country's citizen like him I think it must not be so hard to earn 20,000 euros in a year or so. I just hope he has learned an important lesson with this loss and that he overcome his addiction with the help of his family members who already know about the situation.
