To be honest I am quite shocked about the win streak they are having right now, and without Alperen Sengun, their most efficient scorer as well. It's of course about the fact that they played some super weak teams as well, but they played bulls this time around and while Bulls is not great, they are not bottom of the league tanking team neither, so this win means more than any other in the streak.

I feel like they actually do have a chance to go to playoffs this way, if they keep up this production and how they are going, I think that they are going to be above warriors. It's cool to see this, ı just wonder how long they can keep it up, I do not think that they can just keep winning every game, eventually this streak will end.

Yes, I think everyone is really surprised with their winning streak specially that Sengun is down, I guess this is the very definition of players stepping up their games now because they know that their number 1 offensive player can't play. And then they have a good coach as well, who might have motivated them to really go above and beyond. I haven't check their next opponents, but if it is a great team, who knows, maybe their winning streak will end. But as this point, they proved that they are going to be a tough team to beat even at road. And even if they didn't make the playoff this season, for sure they will be back strong next year as they have build a good chemistry and blend it today.
I agree to your last statement,  even if they will not be able to move forward to the next round,  with the chemistries that they are establishing now will have a good impact to their next seasons campaign,  I think if they'll managed to keep each other and continue having that trust with each other,  considering that Sengun  is already healthy that's a good addition with super teams that can compete in the west side, though the rally for playin position still alive for the Rockets, they just need to keep winning and wait for either the Warriors or Lakers to do the opposite to take the place.

However, this still depends on the cooperation of the gambler, or else, it will be futile. This is why it is good that we regard the willfulness of the gambler, it is not everybody that would want to be healed, which makes it harder. It is not until they get to the level of wanting to be helped that help can be fastest working on them. It is also good that we avoided this gambling issue from the beginning. Had it been that most addicted gamblers known and done this, the situation would have been better for them because they would be cautiously watching their gambling steps and would not let it get to the level that it would become a huge issue for them, not to talk of needing external help due to the madness attached to it.
People always want to gamble without having to know how to control themselves when gambling, most of them are trapped because they see rich people showing off their big wins in casinos, even famous influencers who collaborate with gambling sites will definitely show off their winnings which makes people not think about it. for a long time and gambling, then when they experience defeat they don't know how to respond to the defeat, instead they continue to make deposits to gamble again trying to recover their losses which ultimately makes them addicted without realizing it.

We cannot make assumptions about someone who is trapped in gambling, even though in fact it is possible that at the start they should really understand what the risks are of gambling so that they know how to control themselves when gambling and not just use their desire to win big like what they see on social media. That's why it's important to do research and learn more before playing gambling because it's not that easy to gamble, actually gambling requires self-awareness and knowing how to control yourself when gambling, otherwise you will fall into becoming a gambling addict. Usually people will not realize that they are addicted to gambling.

They don't want to accept the fact that they already addicted and they will continue to deny it, instead  of listening to someone who already noticed their addiction they will block that idea and will not listen and instead of reflecting to their activities and reassess their gambling participation they will continue to push forward, ending them up to continue losing more money and damage their financial capabilities .

It's a hard battle inside them as accepting their problem is not their priorities but instead they will keep doing the same thing and the result mostly the same.
883  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich or poor gambler, who should risk more? on: March 22, 2024, 07:16:20 PM
the problem that is often encountered is those who mix gambling with their main income
I think you're exactly right, the main problem with most gamblers is that they consider gambling as their main source of income which isn't correct at all. In gambling we have both wins and losses, and if someone  considers gambling as their main source of income then they will have to face the losses that are always present in gambling.

The ones who take risk with their money often have to keep in mind that the chance of losing bets is way higher in gambling than winning those bets. That's why I believe one should gamble only with the money that he/she can afford to lose because if you gamble with the money that can impact you financially then you're in the wrong direction.

Indeed right! If you treat gambling as main source of income you'll mostly end up ruining your finances,  as you mentioned two things can happened win or lose and inside gambling most of the time losing is by far have the most results,  though by chance you can win sometimes but eventually you'll lose, both rich and poor can have similar outcomes,  but unlike with those rich people who got additional source of finances they can let the money while the poor ones when they lose it will impact to their financial capabilities to the point that they needed to barrow money to survive for their needs.

In your opinion, what are the factors that brought  change in the field of gambling? What is your outlook on it in the future?
Not only gambling but all other sectors are also improving and everyone is trying or even looking for ways to attract more customers they will bring up things that will bring people to their platforms and that is how businessmen, as the world is transforming so its everything is moving along with, and the transformation in gambling will continue and the idea is already there that people can not stop gambling so they need to create ways to keep their self in business.
Yes, all other sectors are improving and trying to gives their best services to their customers. This happens too with the casinos and what the casinos do will be different than the other sectors because the casinos are one of the entertainments sectors and the casinos knows how to improves their business. The casinos will trying to develops new ways or promotions or other things to keeps trying to attract more people to comes to their casinos. That's the things that the casinos always do because the competitions of each casinos is tight and only the casinos that can do that will gets more customers. That's means the casino will grow fast than the other casino and that casino can gets more profits.
Competitions are everywhere and the more you see promotions the better opportunities for the end users to take advantage,  like what you mentioned,  casino  site who brings new sets of idea might bring more attention and can attract more potential new users,  means that it will also adds to their traffics and possibly revenues if those visits converts to deposits that will increase the popularity of the business,  more on how each casino owners will compete from each other, integrated to the technology to bring quick and easy access to have some fun and entertainment.
885  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Philippines SEC will Ban Binance. Effectivity End of Feb. 2024 on: March 21, 2024, 11:10:11 PM
Ang latest update ko ngayon kay binance sa mobile apps ay wala na yung features ng gcash at maya, Pero sa desktop website ng binance ay meron pa naman. So, ibig sabihin, talagang any moment wala nang pag-asa pang magtagal pa ang binance dito sa bansa natin.

Kaya sa mga magtatangka pang magdeposit ay maliit na amount lang lang, kasi anytime pwede na siyang mablock talaga. Kasi wala ng good development ang ngyayari ngayon dahil kung meron man bakit inalis na ng binance yung gcash at maya sa mobile apps na binance? sa website browser nalang siya visible sa p2p nya.

Since dinelay ng SEC ang pagban sa binance, sa tingin ko ok pa rin naman gamitin ang Biance.  The SEC will announce naman kung they plan to continue ang banning ng Binance dito sa ating bansa para makapagbigay ng enough time para sa mga Binance depositors na maretrieve ang fund nila.  Although I agree na need talaga nating maging alerto sa mga paparating na balita at announcement ng SEC tungkol sa status ng pagaccess sa Binance , naniniwala akong safe pa rin ang pag-access sa Binance until some update from SEC na itutuloy na nila ang pagblock sa Binance.

Anytime pwedeng magannounce ang SEC ng time frame para iblock ang Binance, pero hindi naman gagawin ng SEC na biglang iblock ang access sa Binance ng hindi nagbibigay ng palugit sa mga may pondo sa Binance na iwithdraw ang funds nila. 

Dapat ganun ang mangyari kasi delikado kung biglaan na lang I ban dahil sa nauna ng pasabi at biglaan nilang implement patay yung mga may assets sa binance,  sa kin kasi hanggang ngayon nag fufuture  trade pa rin ako medyo hindi na nga lang gnun kalaki kasi mahirap maipitan  yung amount lang na kayang ilet go kung sakali or pedeng maantay  kung biglaan  na ma ban talaga si binance, abang na lang talaga sa magiging update ng sec  kung anong plano nila  sa ngayon  enjoy na lang muna habang naaaccess pa yung serbisyo ng binance sa bansa.

Losing is a normal thing we should expect in gambling because there is no way we are going to gamble and not make loses. As we are aspiring to make money, we should be ready to lose too because losing is part of the mission to get what we want I gambling. Gambling can be very tricky and we need to understand the steps that is required for us to make money as gamblers. If we have what it takes to make money in betting, we need to couple all the necessary information and skills that will enable us to keep making efforts to keep try our best to make money without much efforts.
Losing is without a doubt something that is very common when we gamble, but at the same time we cannot get used to it, because if that were to happen then even if we were to lose a lot of money, it is possible we could think of it as nothing out of the ordinary, when in fact this is not the case as the majority of the people never lose that much when gambling, so we need to remain alert and monitor ourselves constantly as a way to avoid making such mistake.
We could really be just only having that winning or losing condition on which this is something that gambling could really give. The thing what makes gamblers that do really that interested on playing gambling is that they could really be able to make huge profits in a small amount of money and this would really be the main trigger on why people would really be that interested into it. This is why
it would really be just that a matter of preference and choice on how you would really be controlling yourself when it comes to this manner. There are really just that people who cant really be able to control themselves when it comes to this and there are ones who cant really be able to do so. This is why it would be always best that you should really know
on what you are doing.

For those who knows how to handle it then they can take advantage of the potential benefits while for those who can't expect that they'll suffered from a lot of losing streaks,  gambling is a high risk activity that can sucked all your  money on a short term process.  You need to know when to stop and you need to know how to control yourself from each emotions that might trigger during your participation,  the more you know and understand those factors the better  chance that you'll not going to suffer in any addiction and you may able to control and stop when it's needed to you to stop.
Totally an advantage since you arent just that making yourself avoiding on losing up tons of money but also you would really be able to avoid on making yourself that getting addicted.
This is where people would be usually be having those kind of mistakes is on the time that they would really be trying out to believe that gambling could really make them rich.
In the case that they are already at huge losses then they would really be tending to believe that they could really actually be able to recover those loses which is really that very wrong.

This is why majority of gamblers do become that addicted just because they do have that kind of delusional approach on things like being that a winner or becoming rich overnight.

You said it right,  with that kind of delusion many gamblers become addicted wanting to have that same fate with those who managed to make tons of money, they are unaware  that they already get engaged too much, without set limitations they'll just going to find themselves losing lots of money,  amounts that they can't afford to let go, with that same reason they will keep pushing forward trying to recover the money but in the end they will just suffer with the same outcome.

Without knowing how to stop, everything will be messed  up, you need to set up your limitations and always follow and not to exceed to prevent addiction to take place.

-snip
Very good advice to warn addicted gamblers to open up to other people to get good advice so that the gambler does not experience fatal losses in his life in the future.

This will be successful if the person receiving the advice is able to carry out the advice well. Unfortunately, many gamblers have bigger egos than receiving good advice to apply. Even though the people around him have warned him not to chase losses, when he loses again, he will start to continue playing with the same method even though he has to lose more money. Gamblers who are addicted and cannot think by continuing to chase losses will only be able to control themselves when they are in a bad condition.
Very true,  an addicted person will not listen as he's thinking that he still in control,  he will keep denying his addiction even its already wide open to everyone that surround him,  but I agree that a good advise can be use as guidance if a person who provides the advise have an authority it might have a good impact and a possibility that will followed by the person who needed it the most.

Most of the time,  a gambler who keeps chasing their losses turned himself as am addicted gambler,  someone who needs help and a good guidance to quit away from this situation.
888  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Nag impose na ng 1% tax ang BIR sa online merchant. Next na ba ang crypto? on: March 21, 2024, 01:02:59 PM

     Kaya lang may mga ibang mga online sellers na matapos na makinabang ng malaki sa pag-oonline nila sila pa may ganang magalit gayong nakinabang naman na sila ng ilang taon. Saka wala din naman akong nakikitang mali kung magbayad ng tax dahil normal lang naman yan sa mga nagnenegosyo sa totoo lang.

     Oo tama ka, hanggang ngayon madami parin ang nakikinabang sa kanilang pag-oonline, parang nakatulong pa nga ang pandemic para makakuha ng ibang alternative na mapagkakakitaan ang mga tao via online. So kung anuman ang iutos ng BIR ay sumunod nalang tayo at huwag ng umangal pa.

As an online seller, Agree ako na dapat may taxes talaga which is matagal na dn namin ginagawa dahil may physical store din kami. Ang magiging implication lang nito ay tataas lahat ng bilihin sa mga e-commerce kagaya ng shopee at lazada dahil ipapasa na ng seller yung taxes sa mga buyer nila.

Karaniwan kasi sa mga online seller ay mababa lang ang profit margin kaya umaaasa lang sila sa volume ng sales dahil mababa lang ang benta nila. Mawawala na yung mga below 100php items lalo na yung mga China import items dahil hindi na uubra yung mababang price nila sa quarterly tax at ITR.

Sa April 14 magsisimula yung strict implementation ng tax kaya dapat mamili na kayo habang hindi pa nawawala yung mga business na hindi na uubra kapag may tax. Ito din yung pinagtataka ko dati kung pano kumikita yung karamihan ng seller sa e-commerce dahil sobrang baba nila magprice tapos may tax pa, yung pla ay mga walang tax kaya nakakausad pa din. Sobrang disaster nito sa mga online seller na hindi nagcocomputr dahil sobrang laki ng taxes na babayadan kung hindi pa dn nila ito icoconsider sa pricing nila.

Tama, dapat naman talaga ay matagal ng mayroon lalo na't business ito, kaya nga yung ibang online sellers ngayon ay pahirapan sa pag aasikaso ng papers nila dahil ang iba sa kanila ay napakalaki ng mga income pero hindi naman pala DTI registered, ang dami kong nababasa sa iba't ibang social media na nag rarant sila about sa tax implementation na common sense naman na dapat umpisa palang ay alam nilang kailangan nagbabayad ng tax. Ngayon, after ng deadlines na ibinigay sa kanila, expected ko Nadin na tataas na ang mga presyo ng mga binebenta nila, pero kahit hindi na nila taasan kasi kung tutuusin, yung iba sa kanila na mga live sellers ng mga thrift, overprice lahat, halos 4x ang patong sa original prices nila. Naiintindihan ko naman kung bakit Ganun, kaya dapat di nalang sila magreklamo sa pagbabayad ng tax dahil marami ng Panahon yung nakalibre sila sa pagbabayad ng tax.

Maganda yung opinion  mo kasi imposible naman na nagnegosyo ka tapos hindi mo alam na dapat pala eh mag tax ka, sabihin na natin na online mo at wala kang physical store pero dahil nga sa negosyo yun eh dapat may mga permit ka, medyo mahihirapan mag adjust ung mga maliliit na negosyante kasi alam naman natin na uso dito sa bansa natin yung pababaan instead na pagandahan ng quality ang nangyayari eh sulutan ng presyo para makabenta, siguradng apektado sila ng implementasyon ng taxes na mahigpit na ipatutupad na, expect na rin natin na mga mamimili lalo sa mga online platforms kasi sigurado na papasahan lang yan ng oblisgasyon maliban na lang na talagang magaling yung may ari ng store at kayang makipagsabayan sa paghahanap ng mas mga mura pang items na ibebenta nila.
889  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: March 21, 2024, 12:51:07 PM
They choose to be a part of a farm team I guess  they don't want to waste  money and instead  they are using their participation to free for something that benefits their business,  while also gaining something from the higher franchise,  as we know how the management works and how the league governors and commissioner are working alongside to make it legal.

There's nothing fans can do to push the league to bring back those old glory they will just go with the flow and accept anything that will be offer and keep it the way it is now.

They are in the PBA to advertise their company, but PBA is not getting a good feedback from the people, so I don't think it will work. But as they say, good or bad publicity, it still is a publicity, so maybe it will work. However, for a real fan like us, we like to see this old league to grow and be competitive, but it will not happen if monopoly within is very strong, they need to eliminate that and that will only happen if they'll add more teams and eliminate the farm teams.

PBA has the worst fan based that makes it not profitable anymore for new team especially small to gain attention on this league. If your team is not Ginebra definitely you are just wasting money on this league. Most of the Filipino preferred the known team such as Ginebra and SMB while the rest is just another brand. Unlike on NBA, they have the support per state that’s why there’s a loyal fan base created based on the team location.

PBA has no future if they keep doing the same pattern like before because only big brand like San Miguel and MVP are the only companies benefiting on it. MPBL should gain more support and better to have the name of PBA because it’s the league that has a balance fan base. This Ginebra and other companies should just sponsors MPBL team and create the real PBA.

I think even SMB are wasting money also due to the expenses they are paying for the venue and the players.

See how much they are spending for the team, and I'm not sure they are really getting the returns expected.

Quote
SAN Miguel Corp. head Ramon S. Ang revealed the conglomerate spends P1 billion annually for its three PBA teams San Miguel Beer, Magnolia, and Barangay Ginebra.

In a wide-ranging interview with veteran journalist Anthony Taberna, Ang admitted it was the high cost of running the three ballclubs that prompted him to recommend ceasing the company's basketball operations more than once, the last time during the pandemic.

RSA says SMC spends P1 billion annually for PBA teams' operation

What I understand before teams are willing to spend money to promote their business as PBA got a wide range of scope but with how PBA is doing right now, I don't know if how Boss RSA manage to recover the amount that he's spending for his 3 or maybe more companies inside the league, I mean maybe as farm teams are also been rumors that he already got a control behind, I guess aside from promotions there are money making business that being produce, maybe with those many gambling sites that being offered and with those rumors about game fixing we really can't tell if those big bosses are also involve with gambling.

But, like what the post above you, there's nothing to expect if the concept continue like this, only 2 big campanies will benefits and will compete with the title.

Unless, another franchise will try to compete but I'm not sure if how they can throw money like the way Boss RSA and MVP's doing right now.

Take streamers serious at your own risk. Streamers wiĺl gamble with huge amount of money, beat all risks attached and still win lots of money to the amazement of many. Such a sight is really captivating and interesting to watch as many will watch with envy and  will even  wish they were actually the ones who won. Know this, most actions taken by streamers are staged. This actions are aimed at promoting the casinos. No one in their right mind should make streamers their role model or even be a fan to avoid being influenced because the end can really be disastrous.

A gambler who is really conscious of himself will never be tempted to gamble beyond his capability. Gamblers enter into troubles because they know what they can afford but will want to try their luck with something that is way beyond them. Adin Ross has done nothing wrong, he was only doing his job for which he is known for. The victim of addiction died out of his own carelessness. I just hope gamblers learn from these sad experiences and gamble responsibly.

Reality state things out, there's no fingers to point with how the victim took his own life, the decision is all in the person's side Adin is just doing his job and for those who understand what streaming job was there's no blame as the person only doing his job and he's good from the industry or audiences that he choose, though it's sad to hear that someone died becuase of gambling but to pinpoint a person who's just practicing what he needs to do to make a living, that's should not be taken in his account.

Like what you said, gambler should use spare money or the amount that they can afford to let go then move forward whatever the outcome of their sessions, with that, there's no extra or exceeded amount to lose which can push you to the limit and like what happened taking your own life becuase you can' carry the load.
891  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: March 21, 2024, 11:59:54 AM
One thing I do wonder is the Rockets, looks like they are on a great winning streak and getting closer and closer to Warriors, just 2 win difference, and I think that can be closed with how many players Warriors are missing. Could it happen? I do not know, they played some easy games, and the end stretch of their games looks like against weaker teams. If they can do that, it would be the first playoffs since a while, since the whole Harden era, and these are still very young players, so that would be awesome for them to get that experience.

Plus, Alperen may come back by that time, and if they do that then they could actually play well. Not saying that they will get the position, of course they may not, but at least it looks like we are going to see them end up having a chance, should be very good to see.

If they continue winning games and Warriors continue to struggle there's still chance that they can reached the play-in and yes it was way back Harden Era when they've last compete in the playoffs,  they added new sets of players who contributed well  though their rally might be not enough for the season but like what you said they are still composed of young generation stars and if they keep this squad and there's no changes that take place they can matured more and start moving forward for their chase to win again the title.
We will have to see how his injury his improving, initial reports looks good, but we all know that there are teams who didn't report the full extend of the injuries of their players. I think the Warriors is going full throttle in the last remaining games in this post season and at least extend their season with a play-in. And if they get there, then good for them, just take it a day at a time. Warriors need to win though, they are just 2 games ahead of the Rockets. At least they have control, just play solid games and since Curry is back, chances are they could be in the winning column again.

Yup, they need to continue winning if possible all the remaining games as we can see that Rockets is trying to catch up, and with also those young stars that starting to create their names in this league, it's very important to all the teams who wanted to continue to the next round to keep playing at their best to win their remaining games as it's getting closure to the playoffs,

we just witness the dominance of Warriors against Memphis though there's some commution during the game as Green messing up but he's known to that tactics, he's using it to boost himself and try to influence his team to keep playing harder, congrats to those who manage to take side for Warriors both ML and handicap.

It is difficult to ask for a helping hand when you hide from the closest people that you play gambling. It is not that hard to become a gambling addict. If you ask any gambling addict how he got into such a situation, it is very likely that he will either not admit that he has any problems, or will say that he does not understand how it happened.   
The closest people will know that you gamble no matter how it will be hidden they must know it, now imagine gambling is almost everyone knows even though they never play for example.

There will be more people covering up their shame than saying that they are addicted, which is clear that they know how to do it, they just don't explain that they also have the same problem.

People who don't want to admit that there's already something wrong with how they are treating gambling, instead of asking for guidance or assistance they will deny and will not accept the truth behind their addictions, they will choose to hide and try to discreetly continue thier gambling participation and without the correct balance between finances and time they will suffer a lot.

We live in a society where people have different views about something and these views could be drawn based on different constituent like personal sentiment, religion, ideology and experience. And speaking of gamble there are those that view it as an irresponsible activity to embark on and whoever is into it is tag as irresponsible guy, for some it beyond being irresponsible but a sin something that is evil,  while some others out of an ugly experience of a loved one that got ruined by it due to extreme addiction.

The availability of online gambling platforms allows anyone to maintain privacy in gambling so that other people do not need to know the activities we do, especially in gambling.
Now the issue of gambling is not a taboo activity because there are many people involved in it even long before online gambling platforms started appearing on the internet. The issue of how they are involved in gambling depends on each individual, whether they are responsible or not, only they themselves can control it.

Depending from how a person learn and how he handles his gambling activities, there's always reason behind and it's a different perspectives and conceptualize in terms of a gamblers opinions., and in terms of keeping it as secret or discreet, there are reason behind
and a self-explanatory opinions that weight the reason they involve themselves into gambling.
893  Economy / Gambling / Re: My betting strategies on: March 21, 2024, 11:24:44 AM

I agree, knowing different kinds of strategy and finding the best one that fits on your attitude and discipline helps a lot in terms of getting a better chance of winning, though it's not an assurance but it can pattern out your strategy and make it work for you, there are many available information you just need to work it out and find a way to fit yourself with what you think is best.

Knowing the system and the game that you'll be using your strategy will be an advantage, all you need to do is to be updated and balance the time and the money that you'll going to use.

It's best to find the sports or the club that you are following and try using the strategy that you think will be fit and keep practicing it from time to time, with your patience, it will work along the way.

I agree with you, in fact we can see many strategies out there, but we have to do everything possible to make things with the strategies work for us, because basically the strategies that we see and apply always add or subtract something and that we like adapt it to our particular style, but what you say is very true, because when I play and apply a strategy I do not follow it completely if I see that it is very dangerous, because losing money just by applying a strategy is something that I do not see is worth it, However, it is good to study the strategies and adapt them to our game mod, for me that is essential.

Of course I see this as an opportunity to do things better, as long as the premise is that money is what we should take care of the most, that is what I advise, even though many people say that Strategies in the game no fucinoan, I am Pro-Strategy.



Yeah right, it's essential in terms of practicing what you think is fit with the how you play the game, there's always a good patterns to follow just avoid being manipulated by your emotions, most of the time even there's a good strategy you still suffer as instead of following your set strategy you follow your emotions and you find yourself regretting when you suffer and lose your opportunity to win. It's more on a proper executions and right timing, gambler who can do it right have a better chance not just to enjoy but also to earn some money from their gambling participation.

Though most can't but there are gambler who established their strategy and adopt on how the situation brings them, they are some people who can make something decent out from gambling, those experienced gamblers who really understand how to work and how to follow whatever settings they set up for their strategy.

Maybe Pacquiao is willing to go sleep in the ring again for money because young and active fighters like Tank and Crawford were also mentioned.

It is possible, well it is all about money and Manny Pacquiao is still very passionate about boxing... who would not take the opportunity of getting into the ring fulfilling his passion, and earn money from it?

That is the good thing about being Manny Pacquaio. He literally turned passion into profit. This is where he got his fortune and talent brought him  to where he is right now. As much as we all love to see our favorite boxers into the ring again for an exhibition match, It would be very less interesting now than before when they fought for belts on a professional bouts. These whole exhibition thing is all just for the money and a little bit of entertainment. Just because these are big names in boxing industry the promoters and organizers will have enough reason to raise the tickets because boxing fans around the world would always love to see these fighters again.
Now, on Manny's case, It really makes so much sense that he's pursuing an exhibition match because it is gonna be the local election again in 2025 and here in the PH, no matter how influential and good you are, if you can't buy the people's vote you'll almost guaranteed to have no chance to sit in the city hall.

I agree to that, he needs money for his upcoming candidacy for sure he will particiapate again and will re-try his luck, with opportunities like this where he just need to show up and fight, it's  a money generated passion for Pacman, for sure there are many fans who still thinks and believes that Pacman can still make a big damage, and like what you just mentioned, the amount of a ticket will be more expensive even the fight is just an exhibition. Pacman's name still have that value and with how he's showing his training I think he still can bring down a young fighter if timing is perfect and if his opponent will be careless.

Let see if what he can bring when the time come for his exhibition match, if he still got something left as if there's chance that he might face a current champs, though the winning chance is slim but we never know.

One thing I do wonder is the Rockets, looks like they are on a great winning streak and getting closer and closer to Warriors, just 2 win difference, and I think that can be closed with how many players Warriors are missing. Could it happen? I do not know, they played some easy games, and the end stretch of their games looks like against weaker teams. If they can do that, it would be the first playoffs since a while, since the whole Harden era, and these are still very young players, so that would be awesome for them to get that experience.

Plus, Alperen may come back by that time, and if they do that then they could actually play well. Not saying that they will get the position, of course they may not, but at least it looks like we are going to see them end up having a chance, should be very good to see.

If they continue winning games and Warriors continue to struggle there's still chance that they can reached the play-in and yes it was way back Harden Era when they've last compete in the playoffs,  they added new sets of players who contributed well  though their rally might be not enough for the season but like what you said they are still composed of young generation stars and if they keep this squad and there's no changes that take place they can matured more and start moving forward for their chase to win again the title.

Ilang games nalang ang natitira para matapos ang regular season. Dikit ang standing lalo na sa Western Conference. Sana maka clinch na sa playoffs ang Dallas At Suns (hindi na maglaro sa play in) tapos ang mag tapat tapat sa Play tournament Lakers vs Warriors then Pelicans vs Kings. Gusto ko din makapasok Lakers at Warriors pero pag nag stay sila sa 9 at 10 seed isa lang ang pwede maka pasok sa kanila or pwedeng wala. Sabi ni Shaq kahit sino daw sa Lakers or Warriors kaya tapatan OKC. Ano sa tingin nyo agree ba kayo kay Shaq?

Sang ayon ako sa sinabi ni Shaq kung sakaling makatapat ng OKC either ung Warriors or Lakers eh medyo kaya talaga silang tapatan medyo bata pa ang core ng OKC kaya pagdating sa playoffs baka dagain maliban na nga lang eh kung maging consostent yung core nila lalo na si SGA at yung mga higante nila alam naman natin yung naging tulong ng mga batang higante nila pagdating sa depensa at puntos.

Sa side naman nung Warriors or ng Lakers, experienced naman ang pwede nilang magamit dito, lalo na kung healthy si AD sa side ng Lakers at nasa tamang timpla naman si Klay sa side ng Wariors medyo mabigat din kasi yung chemistry ng Warriors kaya para sa kin kung sakaling sila ang makaangat sa playin medyo masayang tapatan yun para sa OKC.

Mahihirapan ang OKC, pero kung hindi magbabago ang laro nila, malaki rin ang chance nila. Ang maganda kasi sa OKC is yung trust nila each other, oo meron silang best player which is si SGA, pero marami rin magagaling bukod sa kanya. Anyway, best of 7 series naman yan,  I'm sure kung magaling talaga ang coach nila, maganda rin ang gagawin nilang adjustment para manalo... 

Basta ako, kung sakaling magtapat ang OKC vs Lakers/Warriors, syempre doon ako sa underdog.


Yun nga, kung hindi matitinag yung current setup nila, kung paano sila nagtitiwala sa isat isa malamang sa malamang eh mahihirapan din kung sinoman ang itatapat sa kanila, maganda kasi yung rotation nila at yung balasa ng coach magaling sa hugutan ng mga players na pagsasabaysabayin sana lang talaga eh wag magbago yung tiwala nila sa isat isa kadalasan kasi sa playoffs nagbabago yung tipong nawawala sa hulog yung mga players madalas na nagkakanya kanya na nagreresulta nf pagkadismaya, 7 game nga naman kaya meron silang enough na panahon para  mag adjust kung sakali.

People also fail in trading because besides «buy low sell high» they dont know anything. When the price goes lower than the original price they have bought for, their plans gets destroyed, because they dont know what to do, that is not what they expected. People like that sell at any price they can, quit and raise panic at the market, thereby creating new wave of unsuccessful traders.

There are only two reasons why the majority of traders always fail. First, they think that trading is just like gambling; second, they don't really know anything; they just use their greed in the hope that they will get a profit through an assumption or guess, which is wrong.

There are only those two; if you don't have that reason, for sure you will make a profit in the end. That just means that you have knowledge of trading and know what to do with actual trading in the crypto space.

With proper knowledge success can be achieved,  and I agree with most of those who failed in trading its not something that you can treat as gambling,  there are fundamentals that you needed to understand  before you can have a proper grasp on it, the more you know what you are doing the better progress with your trading participation,  without the proper understanding you'll keep seeing yourself losing your money.

Better to understand the concept and learn more about possible strategy to use, there are many available information that you can use to increase your knowledge, just need to be more keen and always be available to adjust.

..it clearly shows that Coverge doesn't play defense, no wonder they are at the bottom now.

On the other hand, even though there's a defense, Magnolia is just draining every shot at every field. With a 52% percentage shooting they did, it means they are having hot hands that night that even well defended, their shots are draining every time.

Besides, I don't expect Converge to shine at the All-local Conference. They are clear to be eliminated after the regular games ended.

They are usually seen as competitive only during import conferences. I hope they can snipe a good import in the next import conference.

Converge is really not the same anymore ever since they let Ahamnissi ang Jeron Teng go. And there's a rumor that coach Ayo will be replace soon. I don't know if there can still make something to make this team competitive, because even if they have a good coach but the lack of quality players is the major problem I see in this team.

It was a good start but after they let Teng and Ahamnissi its obvious that they are  not here to compete,  it's an easy negotiation with players who can provide decent numbers,  most of the good teams are willing to pay the price just to keep their competitiveness and have that chance winning the game, but it was different with how Converge doing it now, they are just playing to continue their stay from the league but in terms of trying to reach the finals there's no trace from the management to increase their chances, and with rumors that coach Ayo will be replaced it adds up to the point  that  they might be a part now of a farming team.

There's possibility that they will only become a farm team, with their quality of players, it's not gonna compete with the good roster of the strong teams, their 2nd unit might even be better than the main unit of the converge. See the 2nd unit of SMB, they have Teng, Romeo, Trollano, Tautuaa, and Jericho Cruz I guess.. So, we see the difference, and if SMB could afford this kind of quality players, how can a converge them would be able to compete with them.

People may criticize SMB for not following the salary cap ( if there's any), but we can always criticize theses so called farm teams for not being able to come up with a required budget to pay based on standard salary.

As if we don't know what's happening within the PBA. If we are looking for a league that is fair then that should not be the PBA. Some of the players have criticized the way it was manage. I mean, why get a team to be part of the league if they aren't competiting anymore. I would understand that a team would struggle as that's normal, even Ginebra have struggled before they sign coach Tim, but these teams like DYIP or KIA and Blackwater has always been struggling, season after season like there's no improvement at all, they even get worst, and now there's converge which was suppose to be a good team since the players were alaska players that was bought by converge.

They choose to be a part of a farm team I guess  they don't want to waste  money and instead  they are using their participation to free for something that benefits their business,  while also gaining something from the higher franchise,  as we know how the management works and how the league governors and commissioner are working alongside to make it legal.

There's nothing fans can do to push the league to bring back those old glory they will just go with the flow and accept anything that will be offer and keep it the way it is now.

Kung local exchange ito sa pinas, paano nangyari na walang KYC. Malamang ma block rin ito sooner or later kasi strikto na ang NTC sa pag block ng unregistered exchange, maliban sa Binance.

Nag explore ako sa Paytaca wallet, at ito ang mga nakita ko.
- No KYC

Maganda sana kung pwede gamitan ng vpn yan, at saka sana meron ding GCASH para may back up tayo in case ma block na rin si Binance. (wag naman sana).
Not really sure patungkol diyan, kasi locally and publicly nila nilaunch ang Paytaca. Ibig sabihin, meron silang paperworks na ginawa dahil hindi naman sila mag public launch kung illegal ito. Pero nung gumawa kasi ako ng account, ang unang bumungad lang sa akin ay private key ng account then direcho na after masave ang private key.

Pwedeng ma-question sila once na dumagsa ang users ng exchange wallet na ito dahil kadalasan namang pinapansin ng gobyerno yung may malaking kinikita or kapag trending ang isang bagay. Let's wait nalang din siguro ng mga susunod na updates patungkol dito.

Itong huling statement mo kabayan ang medyo kapanapanabik, alam naman kasi natin na ang gobyerno natin eh sa huli namumwerwisyo pag nakita na nilang sumisikat at kumikita na dun pa lang sila aakyon, pero syempre kung locally at public nilang na launch malamang sa malamang meron silang mga permits para supportahan yung exchange nila, siguro sa mga darating na panahon makikita natin yung mga possibleng updates, wag lang sana mapag initan at ang mahirapan nanaman eh yung mga end users na gusto lang naman makapag transact at makagamit ng crypto nila.

Gambling is always safer if you are rich or have money a sustainable source of income to back you up when you lose money, than when you are a poor gambler, you definitely will end up going broke because you don't have what will sustain you after you have lost money, So, it is advisable that every gambler should risk according to his or her income, So you don't go broke on the cause of looking for money.



In the side where gambling treated as source of entertainment, rich people do have an advantage same with your statement, those rich gambler have sustainable source where they can just let the money go if they lose from their gambling session, while those who are poor, they can't let the money go that easy as they don't have supplies of money where they needed to work harder to replace that amount, it's an advantage for rich gamblers to have a good source of making money and continue to have that enjoyment when they need to kill some time or if they need to have social gatherings that caters their gambling sessions.

The rich gambler should be in a good position to risk than the poor. Because the poor are always afraid of risking. While the rich take alot of risk. And they have more money to risk than the poor so the rich has more privilege. I could remember a friend of mine who has money, he always gamble with huge fund and makes alot of money with just few odd. Thou he loses at times but I believe he makes more profit than loses. Thats why I said the rich should be in a right position to risk the more than the poor.


And same with my opinion above, rich gambler has this kind of mentality knowing that they've got a good source to replinish the money in case they've lost from their bets, they know that they've got other source of funds, a money making business or investment that can cover whatever the losses that they've experienced when playing their favorite gambling games, unlike with the poor they know that if they lose they don't have any sources that's why the level of risk is something that they need to re-assess, though depending with the level of addiction as we know that addicted gambler don't mind anything.
