781  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Going all in and losing the bet on: April 03, 2024, 04:37:13 PM
I was just playing Hi-Lo, making small dollar bets, if it's 5 number card I select higher card and win, if it's 10 number then I go with 'low' and win.

Then I was greeted with Ace card, minimal possibility for equal card right (i.e, Ace), so I go all in, and guess what happens, the result is Ace means I lost the bet.

Then I have all sorts of thoughts blaming casino, like do they manipulate the result of the game when user goes all in. I am sure they are all fair, it's just that the possibility of losing the game may be minimal but it's never 0.

I just commented on another topic about all-in, but the scenario was very different: betting everything when the balance is practically zero, in order to make your last bet.
It seems rigged, because we usually win this type of all-in, just to keep playing a little longer.

However, going all-in when you are winning is something very risky and should always be avoided, even if the chances of winning are great.

Always try to reserve 30% of your balance for a possible loss, as you will feel much better knowing that you can still recover the lost money, than the opposite if you missed out on that 30%.

Play responsibly, always anticipating the worst and what you are willing to lose.


I think that if you have little balance, you should always follow your initial strategy. You start it and you must finish it. If you start with fixed bet amounts, end that way too. This avoids emotional exhaustion and you have a method, the chances of loss are lower.

If you set an strategy better to play that way and not being influence or dominated by your emotion, with set targets and limitations, you might have a better chance of winning unlike if you are just risking everything in hope that luck will back you up, the chance of losing everything can happen quicker than you expect.

Most of the time, when you yolo your balance the outcome ain't favor you and for some gamblers they are blaming the house for not being true or for manipulating the outcome but due to a no evidences or whatsoever, they can't do anything but to quit and move forward.

Susubukan kong tumaya bukas hehehe,

OKC vs Sixers, - OKC pag healthy is SGA, mahihirapan talunin -3.5 @1.70
Dehado ang New York Knicks, tapos back to back against Miami, pero kailangan nilang manalo kaya pipiliin ko silang dehado dito @2.27 pa.

Yan muna, tataya ko, baka bukas pag may time live betting na lang.

Wag mo subukan masisira ang buhay mo... hahaha...
Anyway, gusto ko rin ang OKC, kahit wala pa si SGA bukas or not 100%, malakas pa rin ang OKC, total wala rin namang Embiid ang Sixers, kaya fair lang ang laro nila, pero doon talaga tayo sa magaling.

Not against the Miami heat... napaka scary ng ginawa ng Miami heat, parang lock and loaded na rin sila para sa playoffs, kung importante sa Knicks, ganon rin sa Miami heat. Sorry kabayan, sa Miami Heat ako -3.

Naging tama tuloy advice ni Japinat na wag subukan. Cheesy Pero sa tingin ko rin mas mahalaga sa Miami ang laro nato dahil pwede pa sila malaglag sa number 8 kung matalo pa. Tsaka home court ng Miami. Badly needed ng New York ngayon sina Randle at Anunoby dahil sila rin naman ay nanganganib sa lower spot dahil humahabol maraming teams ngayon.

Sana di tinuloy ni Baofeng tumalpak sa OKC dahil wala rin naman si SGA at ang malala ay biglang bumalik si Embiid sa larong ito. Buti na lang din di ako tumalpak dahil kahit wala si SGA ay OKC pa rin ako dito. Pero yun na nga, nahabol pa ng Sixers yung double digit lead ng OKC.

Kinain ng buhay ng Miami ung NYK grabe yung shooting ni Rozier yung init nya talaga ang laki ng impact tapos yung mga stars pa ng Heat talagang ganado din kaya wala na nagawa yung NYK masyadong malayo yung agwatan nakapag established kasi agad ng magandang lamang sa first half yung Miami tapos tinuloy lang nila yung sagutan kahit anong pilit makabalik ng NYK may sagot na counter si Kabayang coach natin kaya namaintain yung lamang hanggang sa natapos yung game double digits talaga yung lamang at para dun sa mga handicap sakto timing ng taya para sa Heat.

Hindi ko din alam na maglalaro na pala si Embiid medyo hirap pa pero malaking bagay talaga sya at hindi nya rin pinahiya mga fans ng Sixers at yung mga sumugal para sa kanila solve lalo na yung mga tumaya ng ML malaki laki kinita nung mga yun sigurado!

I don't think Oklahoma can be considered a championship team since it is just their beginning and they haven't even entered the playoffs with this core. A formidable team—yes,  we can say that—a championship? I don't really know. Yes, they are having a great season, which is a good beginning for them since everyone is waiting for this to come since they traded all of their superstars and gained a lot of round picks. Playoffs are a different environment; players with experience are more likely to win in the playoffs. That's why veteran presence is needed in these kinds of games. Just look at the Memphis Grizzlies and Kings last year; they got beaten by the Lakers and the Warriors, a team that possesses a lot of playoff experience. 

But let's see if this year's playoff will be a different story. Can we see the Timberwolves and Thunder make it past the first round? 
I think the Timberwolves and OKC might be able to advance past the 1st round of the playoffs as long as they don't face the Suns or Warriors. If they happen to face them, there's a big chance they'll be eliminated in the 1st round of the playoffs. I believe these two teams can handle the Mavericks and Pelicans, but the Warriors and Suns are somewhat strong in my opinion.

Experienced do matters, though the type of a game system by both Wolves and OKC is somehow different from how they perform last season, it's still possible that Warriors and Suns experienced in-case that they met them in the next round might be an edge, stars are bringing all in when comes the playoffs, though if these young team will continue to manage that same energy and same chemistries, they still got a better chance to stand still and move forward to the next round.

I can say that both SGA and AE can comes out big when they are needed by their respective teams, these two young superstars really creating thier way to keep pushing tobring their teams to the finals.

Betting on the games today.

Meralco vs DYIP in the first game, as I see on the bookies, the line was -5.5 for Meralco,.. I think I'm going to bet on them today because they came from a huge victory over the Ginebra, so I'm thinking maybe the momentum will continue.

Their previous game.

DYIP (92) vs Bossing (91)
Bolts (91) vs Ginebra (73)

Unfortunately they weren't able to carry that momentum as despite of the win, they were not able to cover the spread. Sad that Meralco didn't start strong, I guess that's their style against weaker teams, they only charge strong in the 4th but just enough to win the game and give the backers on the spread a heart ache.

Anyway the 2nd game is up, for some reason I could not find a betting odds on my local bookie so I would just say pass to this game, but watching.

That was a bad timing for me, LOL. I should have wait for the live betting to get a better line as Meralco was trailing in most of the quarters. I guess it's not really for me. I'd like to try to win back my losses but the 2nd game does not interest me, it does look like a trap but not sure which team is the right bet. Currently ROS is leading by 9 points but they are -16.5, no for me.

Look like it will end up to another blowout loss of the Converged. With less than 6 minutes and ROS is already leading by 23 points, this could go worse after the end of the game. I can't believe how bad the Converge is, they used to be competitive but now they are worst than the DYIP and Blackwater as they are still winless until now. The long break did not even help them to figure out how to win, instead the problem gets bigger.

You said it right! just going inside the court and play the game but the competitiveness ain't seeing it to anyone, they keep their opponents to attack and have that better look inside the basket, they also got poor offense which may allow them to keep the distance close if they can shot back but lack of defense together with poor offense resulted to an blowout win from the opposing team.

Congrats to those who pick ROS and entrust them the handicap that's a sweet win as they managed to cover the spread and give the bettors decent amount of profits!

Skills or knowledge is another thing which is only useful to help you to get closer to the chances of winning, but no matter how good you are at analysis, the final result of the gambling session is still unknown, which means that even if you feel that you have good skills, on the other hand, you also need to have good risk acceptance skills which we usually call responsible gamblers who are supported by several aspects such as patience, management and control, as you said that this is the perfect combination to increase the chances of winning by having good skills and also having good risk management to keep everything in balance.
Agree with you, we cannot guarantee gambling results with any predictions. We may be able to predict well through analysis and using various tools to help to decide before betting. However, it is still a prediction, not mathematics that has definite results. In every gambling process, people will focus on what they saw before to use as data. if he cannot confirm the data, then the results of gambling cannot be predicted, this happens in all types of gambling, especially slot games.
We can only predicts the match using our skills to knows which team that have high percentage to win. If we can improves our skills, we will not have a problem to select the right team. But we must have patience to learn the skills because that will needs time before we can master better skills. We are trying to learn more about the analysis in sports betting but we still hard to have the accurate prediction since the match can change anytime. We also needs to knows how big the risks of selecting the team because there is a change that the match may be change in the middle of the play. If we can have a good skills and knows how to manage the risk, we will not too rush placing the bet because we only place a bet for the match that we knows better.
Patience in gambling helps minimize losses but it does not guarantee winning. If one does not gamble in a panic and patiently places small bets, they will avoid many unwanted losses. But it is natural that if someone places non-stop bets without being patient, his losses will be very high.  So patience and controlling your emotions can save a gambler from huge losses. But no one can gamble without loss.  Everyone should naturally accept that gambling will result in loss

Not a guarantee indeed but it helps to think wisely, as if you have the right amount of patience you'll not be aggressively place a bet when you lose your first attempt, but instead you'll try your best to find what particular event that may give you decent chance to win back, or to recover what you lose, this kind of attitude will lead you to keep doing the right thing instead of blindly placing another bet just because you wanted to recover as soon as possible.

Stats wise SMB always have that big edge against any teams though we can't rely on it as there are unexpected outcomes that the game produces,  most of the time,  we call it manipulation or game fixing,  knowing that there's only two major franchises that really controlling the league,  though that's just opinion or speculation but in terms of capacities SMB have that advantage since JMF is being supported by those gunners who really stepping up, for me personally,  I can only see Gin kings who can match up against this heavyweight squad, they've got the manpower who can compete and a good coach who can boost the chemistries of each players who are playing around.

SMB is still steady, so I don't expect anything like manipulation because this team will continue to dominate. I think there are times before that their opponents are getting favored by the refs but they are just so good as their offense are very unpredictable, coming from inside and outside and refs could not do anything about that. Actually, even if JMF will not play, the SMB still have big men to maintain a good defense in the paint, what SMB have now is the chemistry and their confidence that's why they are moving the ball well.

I agree as they don't need that much productions from JMF and still they continue to make good plays and win games, like what you mentioned even without JMF their big men can still bring good defense, while with their offense they've got a lot of gunners who can produce decent numbers that can lift them to win the game, just now, it's nice to see ball movements that really creates open shots and there's no need to create individual attacks just go with the ball flow and you'll recieve and open shot.

Betting on the games today.

Meralco vs DYIP in the first game, as I see on the bookies, the line was -5.5 for Meralco,.. I think I'm going to bet on them today because they came from a huge victory over the Ginebra, so I'm thinking maybe the momentum will continue.

Their previous game.

DYIP (92) vs Bossing (91)
Bolts (91) vs Ginebra (73)

Current score is in favor for Bossing, those who loves taking a big risk, odds might be change now as Bossing is leading by 5 points early 3rd quarter, enough time for Meralco to rally back and switch things to snatch the game! Good luck kabayan!

Therefore, as ordinary people, we still have to maintain emotional stability because if we waver even a little it will have fatal consequences for us. Yes, the strategy you used was very correct, friend, because you used the little money left over from your daily needs and if you lose you don't need to worry too much because maybe you are ready to accept it.
I really agree with your suggestion that we should control our money when we want to gamble because that is the most important thing if we don't want to lose a lot of money because actually making money is very difficult and we have to be careful.

Making money is difficult as casino was design to make money and not to give money, they are business and not a charity institutions that just allow you to cashout from the house, and same with what you mentioned, it's needed to have that good mental capabilities to make sure that you are in  control both from your finances and your time, mental focus and good attitude towards gambling should be taking place in order for you to stay aware and how will you react if your strategy isn't doing well.

It's true that making real money is by doing real work in the field where we work every day and getting paid every month, not by hoping that by working online (gambling) the results we don't necessarily get will match what we expect.
Yes, if there is someone who thinks that gambling can make money for him then he must be prepared for everything including losing money and be mentally strong when losses often happen to him. And what you said is true is that gambling requires good control and a good mentality to face the impact of risks that will occur before your eyes.

You need to understand the flow, it's better not to expect that much and make sure to use the amount that you are willing to let go, if you insist to push for your goals, taking money out from the house is something that only expert or experienced gamblers can do, and for sure they are just few people who can do that and it's not like a day job where you can assure your profits, there are times that you will also lose money out from the house and just because of good control these kind of bettors can work it out and quit their way, not to over exceed from their limits and overspend their bankroll.


having a work in regular basis is the best thing every person must have not unless you are a business
person , even if you are dealing in crypto yet this is not a complete place where to make your life easier and
only let this as passive income provider.

It is true that by having a permanent job, a person will get money for his living expenses and by having a permanent job, his life is financially secure. Yes, for a businessman if he wants to get involved in the crypto world, it is easy for him because he definitely has a lot of spare money that will be used to play crypto, but for someone who has a standard income, it is possible. he will think twice about whether he can afford it or not if you see him. from his daily income.

Securing your finances is the first thing that's needed, allowing yourself to explore to any available investment is another thing, you need to have that good control and management of your finances, and same with what you said, it's an open venue where anyone can come and try their luck exploring this kind of industry.

The Bucks losing to the Wizards really screwed my picks for the day. They had no business losing that game. Goes to show that any team can win on any given night in the NBA. If I were the coach I’d be looking into what the Bucks players were up to last night though. Clearly something was off with them today.

Something smells bad  Roll Eyes not really sure since aside from Dame the core players are playing and stats wise I for sure can tell that they can dominate the game, but yeah, it seems that anyone can win and that's can't be controlled by the fans and bettors, upset can happen and no one knows when it gonna be, Bucks already secured their position for the next round only bettors are the one who suffered from this lost as for the team standing they still in the 2nd spot after this lost.
789  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: April 02, 2024, 07:10:17 PM
SMB is still the team to team, with a healthy JMF, SMB will dominate the paint and most likely they'll win the champion.
However, Ginebra vs SMB seemed to be a good match up, crash that Magnolia as sometimes they are boring to watch due to their offense not really that good especially the outside shooting, and Ginebra has more fans so the finals will be more fun.

Since it's the All-Filipino Conference, expect San Miguel Beermen to be always the team to beat especially with Fajardo on board.

Since that was the always situation in every AFC, I'm sure other top teams like Gin Kings and Magnolia already have a strategy to contain Fajardo as possible as they can be in the paint while also guarding SMB's sharpshooters on the perimeter.

However, we still don't know if SMB can maintain the top spot as who knows a surprising and unexpected thing will happen along the way.

We are just in the early phase of the elimination game anyway and there are still several games left.

Sayang at nagtapos na ang 11 winning streak ng Houston Rockets ngayong araw. Di talaga sila pinagbigyan ng Dallas Mavericks dahil sa unang quarter pa lamang ay tinambakan na ng dose puntos at lalo pang lumaki sa second quarter. Home court pa mismo ng Houston pero di nakaporma sina Jalen Green at Dillon Brooks habang si Luka ay nagtala lang naman ng 47 puntos.

Mukhang hirap ang Houston makakuha ng 10th spot dahil ang GSW nasa 4th winning streak na rin. Si Lakers naman stable ang panalo at mukhang makuha pa nito ang mas secured an 6th spot.

Hindi pinagbigyan at talagang pinakitaan ng Mavs yung Rockets mula umpisa hanggang sa matapos yung laban talagang dominated ng Mavs yung laban, naputol na ung winning streaks ng Rockets sa mismong bahay nila, medyo lumayo ulit at nagkaroon ng agwat yung 10th spot, dahil nanalo naman ang Warriors kontra sa Spurs, gaya ng sinabi mo kabayan hindi nakaporma si Brooks at Green nalimitahan sila ng depensa ng Mavs samantalang si Luka ang init ulit ng performance 47 points na sinundan din ng magandang suportang laro ni Kyrie na may 24 points, iba talaga pag halimaw yung superstar tapos suportado ng magandang depensa ng mga role players talagang ung kumpyansa eh nandun at hindi masyadong pagod yung mga players.

Si Luka lang pala ang bahala, parang pinaglaruan lang sila ni Luka, hindi man lang sila nag double kay Luka, pero kung ginawa nila yun, maaring si Irving naman maging problema nila. Ang ganda ng laro, parang napaka simple lang ng galawan ng Mavericks ngayon, mukhang may pag asa talaga tong mag champion.

Maganda rin para kay luka kung mag champion sila ngayon, kasi maaring magiging season MVP at Finals MVP si Luka.

Parang wala talagang makakapigil kay Luka, kahit si Leonard mahihirapan kay Luka.

Yun nga rin ang iniisip ko kabayan sa oras na mag double at mag switch sila ng defense kay Luka nandun si Kyrie para umatake din or kickout sa mga shooters na nakaready para mag take shots, ang hirap nilang bantayan kasi kumpyansa silang lahat, pero talagang si Luka nag pakitang gilas parang ang simple ng basketball sa kanya, kagandahan  kasi sa kanya eh bata pa at marami pa syang maipapakita at maiimprove, sana lang talaga yung blending nila ni Kyrie eh mas tumagal at tumatag, para kasing at home na at home si Kyrie kahit hindi sya yung main man makikita mo yung support nya at yung aggressiveness nya na makatulong at maging malaking bahagi ng team nila, malayo pa yung finals pero sa tingin ko maganda din yung nabuong squad ng Mavs ngayon.

791  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Patience can help alot on: April 02, 2024, 11:44:05 AM
All these will be good if you have gambling budget and not going beyond it and also make it of little percent of your weekly income. Example is the use of 1 to 5% of your weekly income for gambling and not going more than that.

That's the best method because gambling is a game that needs self decipline, so if a gambler is able to decipline himself it will be very hard to get emotional because just like you advised Putting 1% of ones salary in gambling is not actually bad because no matter what the outcome maybe it may not really affect them do to the fact that the money is less for them, although the only thing is that using that kind of percentage to bet may not really bring a huge money but is better risking what we no will not affect our emotions if we lose it because most of the challenges people have is greed of always wanting for more, which expose them to risk more money for greater returns.

Gambling with a minimized amount of money helps the gambler to focus on playing responsibly. Because when money is not affected a lot the player won't have to bother to chase loss. The emotional stress only starts the moment this player begins to get agitated over losing out his money. Greed is also a factor that affects the patience of gamblers, to go ahead their budget, instead of waiting for the right moment to win money. Due to greed most gamblers wouldn't mind sticking to wagering smaller amount of money. Especially when they're winning, their thoughts will go towards what the won amounts would have been if they wagered a bigger amount of money. Hence, players should sprinkle some patience to wagering strategy.



These  two common reason create big impacts to a gambler point of view while still inside the gambling house, when either greed or chasing losses dominated you, most of the time losing is will be the outcome, unlike if you have that right sets of skills and understanding and being patient helps a lot to have that clear mindset towards your gambling activities, there's always the combinations that will generates good vibes while you are still inside the house, timing and practicing your strategy the way you set it up, that's on the side of you being patient to see the outcome of your work.

More on timing and know how things should work which the most common mistake when a gambler being penetrated of aggresiveness, either adrenaline rush or too much excitement, leading them to lose a lot instead of keeping that composure and have that patience to wait.
792  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling mistake repeated by the gamblers on: April 02, 2024, 11:34:57 AM
In that case we can say you have finally learnt how to gamble properly and the mindset and rules needed to remain normal as a gambler. This is good to know and I hope others will also learn from you, the reason I am happy we have a forum like this where we share ideas and interact as gamblers. I am also growing very fast in my gambling and also taking my risk management seriously using the motivation from other experienced gamblers in this forum. Now I feel more comfortable gambling because I set realistic targets and following feasible options unlike before that I was battling with the challenges that the average gambler faces.
Research shows that if you were to try to make a person learn based just on the numbers and facts, they will fail to do so as it is too impersonal, however if you were to show them examples related to their life about how what they are doing is wrong then it is way more likely they will change their ways, it is because of this that those sharing their gambling stories in which they did not do so well is so important, as they are helping others avoid those mistakes, which may have had a very negative on the lives of those people.
Self reflections would really be something that could happen naturally on someones life specially if they are already on such situation on which they havent been able to encounter before.
You would really be having that kind of realizations on the time that you would really be facing up such hard ship on which we know that if its our first time encounter then we would really be possibly
having those kind of approach on which we might be able to adjust accordingly. There are people who would really be making out such matter or thing but there are ones who would really remains.
In speaking about mistakes then these are the most common ones on which gamblers would really be able to make those kind of realizations in the end of line.

You need to reflect things out in order to know how to adopt and adjust, each time you look back and remember what happen from your previous session there's should be learning that you acquire, if you keep doing that same mistake then you are just wasting your time and the amount of money that you are using  for your gambling activities.

Always do a good pause and try to reassess what happened with your gambling session, most of the time, gambler who keeps on losing are just doing that same mistake, either keep chasing their losses or they are dominated by greed and forget how to set limits with their money and time, usual mistake such as mismanage of their finances.
793  Other / Off-topic / Re: Dont chase your loss on: April 02, 2024, 11:13:25 AM

I love the balance remark you mentioned, but one can have that balance only if they are fully prepared for gambling. This is only possible when they have the right gambling system, budget/management and psychology prior to starting gambling in the first place, and these qualities/know-how will be the guide of the gambler to know when to gamble and when not gamble, unlike the way people make it looks like a compulsion to have a stop at a certain point. The issue with most gamblers is that they gamble anyhow, that's why the results are also anyhow, and more reason why a random person can issue random advice, but I do not buy such an idea.

Indeed, if you prepared yourself before entering it helps to keep that focus, most of the time organize gambler is the one who can perfectly practice such kind actions, those who already got a huge experienced and manage to control every emotions that might be triggered along the way, not an easy task but doable, as wise gambler knows the right timing to stop of push for more.

See, I am not a fan of telling a gambler not to gamble more to avoid more losses, what if the gambler would win his Jackpot in the next gamble? No one can tell this, we are just assuming and trying our luck. As much as no one can know the time to lose as well, no one can know the time to win too, but people like to instil fear in gamblers which I do not like.

No one can tell that, if luck permits then it will happen, and for sure no one can predict the next outcome of your bet, so on that situation it's the persons decision and no one should influence them to whatever they wanted to do.

Quote
My advice is that gamblers should continue to gamble as they like but have a viable plan and management towards it, which of course will enforce responsible gambling rather than following random advice.

Being responsible helps a lot, a good factor and practice that you should have to avoid losing more money and become addicted.

How if the result is different, you placed a bet by mistake (whatever the reason) and the crash is still running and the multiplier is already reaching few hundreds X and you noticed it and you make a really huge profit?  Grin
That happened to me a couple of times in a mobile gambling app but with a different game, lol Grin. So, in this app, when you are playing games, there is a button that says "Max bet", if you click that button, your base bet will be set to the maximum amount available in your balance at that moment. For about a couple of times or more, I have unknowingly pressed that button, and I remember that I had won the bet a couple of times from such mistakes, but when that happens and you lose the bet, that's the worst feeling ever.

You might have won something on top of your initial deposit sometimes and you are just playing a few more rounds before you go and withdraw the funds, and all of a sudden, you mistakenly place a bet with all the balance and lose it. That hurts more than break up, lol Grin.

Indeed, when you accidentally press that button and the game executed and lose your pick, it's harder to move on knowing that you almost got something or you can still have some chips if you did not yolo and lose your bet, it's better to be in a stable mind when playing, you will appreciate the fun and excitement together with your set strategy that you might use to have some edge.

Unlik with stress minds, you may mistakenly press soemthing that will bring you to a situation that you may regret after, there's always a good timing and when you do that, chances to win or to enjoy is by far compared with stress mindsets.

~snip~
And if I do so, I think I would see more "regular" customers, than addicted gamblers. I think there is a difference between those two. Person can be gambling regularly, but wasnt bringing all his monthly salary as soon as he gets it. Regular gamblers indeed spend a lot of time gambling, but they know when to stop; at least they have a stop button or can pause gambling for time. That is why I say, that I barely see really addicted people. People who only gamble. And I see regular gamblers in offline casinos. People who are often lonely or have nothing to do, and casinos are the place where they get special attitude or "ears" who will always listen to their complains and talks.

I am not sure some of them actually know when to stop.

There are many, many people that end up in a horrible situation in casinos. And that happens extremely frequently.

People keep losing all their money every day at casinos.

Yeah right, most of the time those who enter the offshore casino losses whatever they are bringing inside though that's much better and not to load more after losing, while those who played onlne the chance that after losing they just add more to the point that they are willing to bring everything in and lose it all together without hesitations, that's how madness can be brought out from a addicted gambler point of view, all in and risk everything in the table.

It's tough as gambling addicted person don't mind anything but to please his gambling and keep doing it and once he don't have any penny to gamble, he can resort to something unusual. Barrowing money or lend to any available sources to the point that they can do crimes just to keep their desire and to fill and please their lust to gamble more.

Dallas look so unstoppable, Luka just literrally toying the Rockets and we know what would happen if they'll meet in the playoffs in case the Rockets made some miracle. Their loss and a win by the Warriors resulted to a big separation, but they still have a chance though. I'm not surprise they lose, they are the underdog and the Dallas is playing great basketball, if Luka won't score that much, Irving will take over and everyone is ready to make a shot without hesitation.

What I notice about Dallas is their great 3 point shooting, they are good at finding an open man and Luka being the penetrator, he attracts a lot of attention that makes his teammates open.

Yup, with Luka's penetration he can easily attracts the defense and with his IQ he can pass the ball to any open teammates who's ready to take the shot, it's a good bread and butter for this team as you mentioned when Luka take some break Kyrie is his replacement attacking the defense and creating that same space and provide that same level of skillsets.

In the Rockets side, they've been dominated and there's nothing that they can do as even they try their best Mavs always have that good counter to keep the distance away.

All I can say is both players are playing at their own pace. Kyrie is not trying to mimic Luka but there are times he is infected by how he plays. Passing the ball, taking rebounds, penetrating and kicking, or just shooting anywhere they like.
I think this is the second-best Kyrie Irving that I have witnessed. One in the Boston Celtics and now in the Dallas Mavericks. He accepted his role and we haven't heard anything bad from him ever since he was signed in the Mavs. No drama, just playing ball.
Luka Doncic on the other hand seems to be good at accepting new players. I mean, that should've been hard for him since Kyrie is also a star, just look at what is happening in the Bucks team. It seems like they are playing isolation games and we don't see a Lillard to Giannis combination play.
I thought Luka and Kyrie were a bad combination when it was reported that Kyrie signed for them but now I take my words back.

Yeah, Kyrie understand that it's Luka's squad that he joined and he needed to adjust to what types of system the team have and he needs to blend his game with how the entire team plays the system, I like how Kyrie give way to young Luka letting him to do what's best on him and when Luka needs the lift Kyrie immidiately take over and bring the rhymth back to the entire squad. They are playing great ball game and the system is really fitting to type of plays they wanted to play all along. Looking to see more good chemistries while playoffs is almost around.

The 3 point shooting disparity was huge, Rockets got killed from the outside.

just look at these stats.

Rockets (13-38) 34%
Dallas (24-47) 51%

For a team to shot over 50% from beyond the arc, that means they defense wasn't played wll on them, that's something the Rockets has to learn if they want to have a chance to be in the play-in since the teams they are going to play with are experienced enough, or we can say a playoff teams.

Rockets needs to adjust and keep running to chase the open man, it's tough to protect the arc but it's needed to intercept the outside shots of their opponents, like what you said, they need to protect that area as gunners are just waiting for the outside drop and ready to take it whenever they see the opportunities.

If you are not a fan of having a high risk gambling it's better to have good self control,  it will helps you to prevent  any big mistakes that can cause you your entire bankroll,  though chances to exceed from your limits is not impossible which most of the time rake place when you over think about the potential and  the possibilities that you may win your next try.  More on how you'll able to control and limit such emotions  and a better handling of your finances. Money management and time management are very important when you are dealing with this type of business.
Gaining self control will do more aides in the system, atleast one will sitting in full shape and having the continual earnings. Risks are also involved, what's your responses when it comes to risks? I would say it's very important we nailed our challenges and withdraw our profits when the time is right. Making strategies that will save us from the downwards movement of the system because we're experienced and knows the spots of these gambling odds to hits. Making decisions while betting should be acceptable and it ought to be something that would benefiting.

Withdraw when you hit the planned amount. Continue if you think you are not there yet or the profits ain't that deserving of the withdrawal. We must have an amount where we think it's enough and then we can enjoy all the profits we made. This way we are avoiding mistakes especially greed when we think that we are lucky that day.
I myself just won a good amount 2 days ago and I withdrew almost everything to enjoy it. Went out with the kids on Easter Sunday and then went to the mall and let them play until they were exhausted. They enjoyed it, I made sure of that. We must have that kind of stop in our lives so that we can say that we made good money with our bad gambling habit. We cannot just sit and keep on playing because the more we try hard to make more profits, the closer we get to all of that being taken away from us, or worse, gambling addiction.

We need that set limitation and target, those gamblers who can follow whatever they set up are people who have a good chance of cashing out decent amount of profits, I think that if you keep that way things will be better as knowing that you are targetting something and you already reached it then quitting is by far is sweet, though, most of the time greed dominated the situation and instead of quitting you'll push yourself to aim for more.

From that scenario, the chance of losing back whatever you have in hand plus your initial deposit may take place, that's the reason why you should have that good control on both money management and the time that you'll going to spend.

It is really necessary for our children who are minors to monitor their activities, not necessarily every move, it's like we should be aware of what they do, what they are interested in and of course the circles of friends they hang out with should we know, let's just do it in a minimal way, don't be super strict because as others say, a child becomes more rebellious if we restrict them too much, we also need to respect their privacy, that's why It would be good if we can build a good relationship between parents and children in them so that they themselves will tell stories or open up topics to their parents about their own lives.
We must monitor our children carefully if we don't wants to see them playing gambling like the other children because many children already playing gambling without their parents knows. We must knows and aware with their environment so we knows about their friends to monitor easily. We don't have to be super strict to them as they will not follow what we suggests them and yes, they will becomes rebellious if we do like that. We gives them a time to do whatever they wants but we always supervise them so they don't doing something that can makes them in trouble. If we can gets close to them, they will tells whatever they feels to us and shares many things to us so if they have a problem, they will asks us to helps them to solve it.

Even the kids is already growing we should take the time to monitor them, same with your statement, it's still part of our responsibilities to make sure that they are engaging to the right kind of environment, especially those who accompanying them, people that sorrounds them influence the most, so not just the family but more on their friends who have interactions with them, the types of influence that they bringing to our kids is very important to monitor.

A person must somehow understand that it is impossible to steal money. This is first of all. In addition, he must understand that one cannot play gambling without a system and without risk management. Each transaction must have a volume limit. If this is not the case, a bad future awaits the player. Of course, the child must be punished in some way. However, from the starting post it is not clear how old the child is. Is he already of age or not yet? But it is stupid for parents to sue their child. If the child is underage, then the punishment should be limited entertainment. And if the child is of age, then the punishment can only be limited to communication with such a son.
The lack of age information makes us think ambiguously in the matter between being old enough or not, maybe we can assume that the person concerned is not old enough, so it is unethical for a father to prosecute his underage child, we only need to give ordinary lessons in a family manner, it is much better in educating a child, but I might take legal action if my child is old enough and commits theft not only once, parents only educate to a certain extent, if a child does not understand the lesson then it needs to be taught by someone else such as being locked up in prison.

Indeed, if it's already in the right age I'll do the same, better to let them understand the hard way, I mean the consequences so they will learn about their mistakes, but if the kids still young and still have that chance to listen, maybe trying to take disciplinary actions that can help them to stay away from this kind of bad habits will do.

It's better to end with a little positive green with your bankroll than being greedy to kee p continuing and ends up losing everything, I guess that's how most of the gamblers suffered, they don't know how to control their emotions, they've been blinded by the winning streaks that they are experiencing, thinking that it won't end and it will keep bringing more money.

More on your own satisfactions and how you control that emotions inside you, the more you understand and the more you can handle the pressure the better chance that you may ends up enjoying.



Greed is one of the mistakes made by most gamblers which destroys their lives and those of their families. They think they can win a few more wins to double their profits. Some games do have a cashout method where the more you bet, the bigger your multiplier will be. Some gamblers are so greedy that they want to keep trying their luck but end up losing all their winnings. It is very important for gamblers to manage their emotions. And actually we can learn to control our emotions by trying to make decisions when to continue playing and when to cash out.

Indeed, it's learnable if you are keen to idea nad focus with how you will react in any situation you've when you are inside gambling, like what you mentioned, there's opportunities to cashout even the game still playing, when you see that opportunty and you know how to control your greed, taking that early call secure your winnings. Though most of the time, greed dominates and instea of taking that early call gambler will push and will aim for much bigger stake, thinking that by luck they will earn more and will be able to cash bigger amount of money compared from what the house is currently offering.
