So in my opinion to reduce these activities you have to have new activities that are more fun, because I am very sure that slowly you will be able to get out of that comfort zone but but you have to consistently do it, that's all I think.
This will be a very good option to reduce the desire to gamble because with new activities that make us forget about gambling, gradually this will be like a stimulus for us that can just free ourselves from gambling that has become an addiction. It's just that in this case the level is that when finding something new that is more fun it must be seen first the pleasure we find because in the end if the new pleasure we have has a negative impact it is the same as getting out of the lion's cage and entering the crocodile's cage which makes us trapped again. But if the new thing is something positive then obviously it is very good, I personally for things like this always get together with some colleagues and family to just chat and relax to fill the time with small talk and it is still quite effective for myself to forget about gambling even though I still do gambling but I can limit it now. That is very much better instead of wasting your time towards gambling as you are only risking your life away, you know there are some wins on the process but what if you will have more losses because you don't actually have a thing towards it then you already know what will happen to you in case that happens. Just try to imagine it, you will already know the answer yourself that is why it is much better to take another hobby, a hobby that will be an investment for you to earn more money while risking the losses. |

We thought that the Crawford vs Spence might be a much bigger fight than Garcia vs Davis but when it comes to PPV buys, their digits aren't really close to somehow chase the latter's fight on what they did. But yes, I agree, if ever a Crawford vs Canelo fight will happen, there is a good chance that it will be much bigger than them and it could be the biggest fight of the decade as well. How's that?
Yeah, the hypes of Spence vs Crawford are not that much compared with Davis and Garcia. Personal thought is because fans ain't interested with Spence dramas, it has been long delayed. Same with you, Canelo's fan based might bring that money plus the fact that interest if how Crawford will try to snatch the belt under Canelos possession. We need more updates regarding to any possibility of this possible match up to take place,. It's hard to argue that there are so many people who have lost interest with Spence, he can say that it wasn't his decision, and it was Al Haymon's, but they belong in the same roof so it's just the same. The fact that they toyed Crawford for some years is already a red flag for some fans because if they have no intentions at all, they shouldn't give Crawford some hope because the man has been idle for chasing them. Right now, there are only speculations on what could happen if Crawford and Canelo will agree to share the same ring but in reality, both camps aren't engaged in talks because both of them still have their own upcoming fight. Maybe soon, 1st or 2nd quarter next year. Yes, they both need to focus on their own respective upcoming fights. It's just a speculation and more on trying to see if interest from viewers and fans, will start to flow and call for the negotiation. I like the point that if ever they open that possibility, there are fans who are interested in watching it and maybe they can bring more money from their respective pockets. Money wise, both camps will show interest. They are both passing their primes better to make money while it's still possible to earn more. If both of them will win their respective fights which are very likely by the way, a hype will automatically then surround their name to call for a match-up between both of them. I have no doubts about that as both of their names are respective enough and people will want to see it to see who will dominate who and if Crawford will win, he got a chance to make another name for himself and achieve a feat that is touted to be unbreakable, come to think of that, a boxer who is a 3x undisputed champion in three separate weight classes. |

You can't exactly ban resting, they will just list those players as injured and since the doctors are the team doctors there isn't really anything you can do about it neither. Yeah yeah I know they will definitely "do something about that too" which they say every year, but first fix the free throws and lack of defense. We complain about all-star games becoming no defense games, people just show their shooting range and all, but regular season games are not getting any better, all those amazing defenders back in the day would foul out in the first minute of the game today. Every year they they will be more careful with the fouls, and every year they give 100 fouls a game. I don't believe a thing NBA says.
You know as they say, the NBA has become too soft nowadays. The highlights of the game are mostly from the three-point area or long-range shooting. No one defends the inside as hard as the 90s, nor is there anyone even brave enough to play like that because of the current rules governing the game. I know that they are actively going against players that are 'flopping,' but I don't think it's enough of a change to bring back at least a semblance of basketball wherein defenders are actually trying to prevent the enemy team to shoot. They might as well call this rule the Kawhi rule. I also found it interesting that they had to come up with a definition for a star player, which they defined as having made an all star team the last three years. I imagine this leaves out quite a few bigtime players, but it’s a step in the right direction. The regular season needs more people caring about it. ^^ In the end, it all comes down to money. As long as something is not damaging the income, it is not going to bother anyone too much. I bet if it was anything related to the flow of money in the NBA, it would have been “fixed” immediately. And I don’t think there is actually any way to ban resting players. If they say that those players are not injured even though the doctor says that he is, it is going to be a problem. Injuries are already a big problem in the NBA. And now they will be officially overlooking the health of a player if they say that. The press is going to have a field day if that actually happens. I'm still wondering though what NBA meant by that, we just keep on having these speculations because the NBA wasn't specific on their details about what does it truly mean but I'm quite sure that this is just one of their ways to gain their power back and to restore their image because it was already loud enough for them to hear that the league is getting softer these days. They surely don't want that statement, that is why they are making these kinds of rules which will eventually not make any sense in the long run. |

I was having this strong contemplation, between emotion and patience which factor affects traders the most.
If you take a microscopic view of the two "Emotion and patience" you would see that emotion gave birth to patience, meaning that if you remove emotion from attaching it to your trading decisions, you will be patient or at peace with your trades, in the sense that you won't be in a hurry to take trades, close trades unnecessarily, and generally you will be patient with trading set up and conditions to be met. True. Being patient is still part of your positive emotions. Without emotions, patience will never also come in reality. While emotions is never necessary when trading that you need to avoid it as much as you can, but patience comes with crucial role in the crypto market most particularly if you are in a trading scenario. The more you become patient to your trades, the rare you become impulsive that makes you create wrong decision making that will turn your future profits into future losses. |

My main focus on this thread is in this question: as a gambler do you place your bet according to the weight of your financial need or you're always okay with whatever amount that comes out as potential win no matter how small amount?
When I plan to gamble, I usually aim to spend around 15% of my income on deposits at gambling sites. I play casually and with small bets. If I win, it will be something good, but sometimes I lose quickly, making me angry and emotional so I deposit again, and again. Until my money was almost gone, the conditions were very bad. I don't do that often, but I have done it once or twice. I don't have a winning target when playing gambling, I don't target a certain number such as having to win $100, $200, or $300. I use my feelings, if I feel like I've been playing for a long time and I'm starting to lose often then I will withdraw my money and come back tomorrow or next week. As long as I still think logically then it will be fine. But when greed come, it often has bad consequences I understand you because we are just human beings living in this messy world where we need to survive every single day, we both know that it's not a realistic move because you ended with nothing but losses but I think, somehow, it's understandable as you're just trying to gamble to have more than your supposed budget. The thing is, we should just learn from our mistakes so that these situations will be avoided in the near future. I mean, at first, it's a mistake but doing it again is already a choice. |

One of the things that most excites me about this boxer is that he is when it comes to challenges, rematches, and above all when there is a belt or something similar, well, he assumes it and prepares himself with more intensity, perhaps the fact of being a A very disciplined person and that is what marks him out compared to others, I want to see this fight and see what kind of strategy Tapales will use, but where I went, my strategy was to be on the defensive, make him get tired and counterattack, because the truth is I can't think of any strategy against him, because he really is a boxer who can quickly read the other boxer's plan, and I think that is also the intelligence he uses, and that is quite difficult for some, For me, boxing is 80% intelligence and 20% effort with the body, however, what you train the most is your body to resist the blows that you are going to receive.
It is the advantage of Inoue. He anticipates his opponent's strategy and adjusts things at the right timing. If he sees that he can absorb his opponent's attack, then expect him to be more aggressive. I used to remember the first fight against Donaire where after being almost taken down. When he manages to get up and compose his self, that the time he really become aggressive and really attacks the most, then he earned that fight a win. The first fight against Donaire, it was the last time that we have seen Inoue almost lost the fight. It was a hard fought give and take and he absorbs all what Donaire can bring to the point that he suffered a broken orbital bone and yet he pushes for the fight and win it. But there are fans or even boxers who thought that Inoue lost that fight. If I'm not mistaken, Roy Jones Jr was one of them. I remember as well though, that Jone is a big fan of Donaire so he might be biased on that. I think that is why a rematch has took place and that is to end all the issues once and for all, eventually, it was a 2-0 in favor of Inoue and Donaire haven't even had the chance to rally back and regain a momentum because he didn't anticipated the fact that he will face a much stronger and unpredictable Inoue who finished their fight in just like a whim. Although years have passed before their rematch but it's all the same to me, Donaire's good but his years are already over. It's a shame that Donaire is a boxer that he didn't appreciate as he was, it's also that when compared to Inoue's career it's not anything, it's known that Inoue is literally a Monster when fighting, and he's also very very intelligent. So an Inoue with a Donaire is a big advantage, really, and I would think that right now Inoue is at a level of boxing where he can beat any boxer who comes his way, of course I say this because of what he has been demonstrating at all times. Personally, for me, Inoue cannot be compared to Donaire. Regarding Donaire, I think he needs to train a lot. I'm not saying because of his age, I'm saying it because of him, because of the things he can develop, as I have said on many occasions. , I am one of those who think that a boxer wins his fights at the time of his training, and if the training is stronger, more intense than that of the other boxer, then he will win, otherwise I believe that in a fight, unless If something extraordinary happens to the other person, they can win, but that rarely happens. It's not really a shame because Donaire has proved enough in the industry of what he can do, he achieved enough that Manny Pacquiao himself trusted and passed the torch to him to make the Filipinos proud, and as a Filipino, I'm proud of what he has become but when it comes to reality, it's hard to argue that Donaire is already in the sunset of his career while Inoue is still at his sunrise. We can say that age might not be a factor but that is not really the case because let's not forget that Donaire is already at his 40s and it's hard to say really that he still have the power and speed to keep up with the guys who are still on the height of their prime like Naoya Inoue. Well, it should be noted that first of all, greetings to the people of the Philippines and yes, there is something that I admire a lot about the Filipinos, it is the material they have to train boxers like them, but it is not that I am entering a casino, not at all, but you must understand. something, to measure up to one of the greats like Inoue, he must be training already and very hard, I believe a lot in the abilities of boxers who are old, who are mature and who can obviously make the difference and get ahead of the They are very young, because they have something I already know like experience, which is why I know that when we see that there are boxers like Inoue who have shown many things, leaving all their titles just to move to the category they are in, I think that not everyone does that, and obviously it is not that Nnonito is a bad boxer, no, he is a boxer who is there and still has a lot to give, but when I make the comparison with one Inoue, with great respect I say that ' {He must train a lot to be able to face him, just like Tyson did, he was the undisputed heavyweight champion and he never gave up on his training, every day he trained as if he were going to fight someone, but why? In order not to lose shape, at the time when a fight came up, he was already very prepared. So when he had a pending fight, he increased the level of his training, that is, that man began to train so hard that in order to have that body he could resist it, which is why he now suffers a lot from Sciatic Nerve, because his effort was far above what his body could withstand, that is what I mean by Nonito, he can be like that, in fact Filipinos have a special DNA for boxing, they are people who They have that natural talent, so the talent + training because they make super boxers, that's what Inoue does, that's why he's doing so well. Every boxer is different mate, we can say that Filipinos got a different DNA to somehow keep up in the boxing industry and maintain their status while they are on the upper side and that is true, but we shouldn't forget the fact that it is somehow easy to become a champion but maintaining that same status while also leveling up is already on another level. What I'm trying to say is that everyone can dream to be a boxer but only few selected ones are born to be a star in the mentioned sports. Donaire, Pacquiao, Naoya and the guys you've mentioned are born for it because if they don't, no matter how they persevere, they will always have a limit unlike these stars. |

I will never deny the fact that my first purpose to join the forum is to gain profits in the later part. However, as I go on exploring the forum and discover things about crypto most particularly with bitcoin, I realized that there’s more into bitcoin than its profits and financial security. That bitcoin is what we need more than fiat in order to gain freedom from those centralized financial institutions and to escape from the shadows of the government. And that bitcoin is the future that will definitely become a life changer, if not now, then most probably in the future.

I’m not against about following some trading signals since it’s actually a trader’s choice. However, knowing the fact that this trading market is always unpredictable due to its high volatility, then we can’t expect some trading signals to be always reliable and will certainly make our trades profitable in the end. At some point it works but most of the time, trading signals are not accurate and are not effective when trading. So if I were you, instead of listening some crypto influencers that gives trading signals, I would utilize that time to study on my own and help improve myself about trading and learn all its technicalities that are somehow very crucial to trading. Trade on your own and learn from your own mistakes and losses.

Both have actually its own risk but when it comes to market stability, I see real estate as more promising than crypto. However, buying real estate is highly expensive and if you don't have enough funds for that, you cannot own any property. That's why crypto is here because we can always invest even with a little amount of funds. But never expect immediate profits as everyone may experience losses at first before they can taste their profits.

People like those (me) who don't gamble for fun have this question to answer: how will you feel when you don't have money to stake a game that you predicted and better winning games you predicted played the way you predicted it and when you checked the winning was something that could have changed your life for ever if you didn't gambled again after such winning?
This question can be very tough to answer, but believe me, many people won't stop thinking of that if it happened to them, so I want to know your opinion about how you would feel if it happened to you.
You might have predicted it correctly but there are no guarantees in the first place and so risks are still there even if you're positive that your team or fighter that you wanted to wager on got a huge chance. Of course, we cannot stop thinking about it especially if it turns out that our prediction was spot on, that is normal, but we are just giving ourselves a hard time because what's done is done and we cannot make something out of it as we don't have any money to wager to begin with. Apart from thinking about it, why don't we think about the opposite one? Because even if we're confident, there are no guarantees that our bets will make it and so let's just leave it that way and think that it could've been a good way as we might've lost the money. |

And if his team wins the FIBA, then it will motivate him more to go and get that back to back NBA champions. He is healthy and so are the other core member of Denver Nuggets so for sure they will play as harder as last year.
We are going to find out in less than 2 hours, but I'm sure the final game tonight between Germany and Serbia will not be the same as Canada vs. USA, as both teams are displaying great ball movement and defense. I'm excited to see it, and I hope the winner is truly the deserving team. If Team Schröder wins here, I think it will help him a lot with his NBA team; he'll probably get more minutes, and his confidence will boost. Yeah, most likely it will be a big boost for him if he can carry team Germany. The thing with Dennis is that he has help in engaging his team mates in this FIBA tournament. I guess his experience in the NBA really help in a lot and he has so much confidence going into the finals. So we will see. On the other hand, Serbia as well is playing good basketball, rotation and specially their defense. So this is going to be very exciting fight for the gold medal in this FIBA. And for sure those NBA players that have participated here will have a new kind of experience. It's a battle of the best offensive team vs the best defensive team right now. Both teams got a chance because Serbia rallied back in the last 3 minutes of the fourth quarter, just a few seconds to the clock though but it's still early to say who they cannot make it and Germany got the same chances as well. Dennis is playing good and as usual, he's like a magnet which gave his team some advantage to cover some area so that the other players can shoot without any guard. |

^^ I saw glimpse of the face-off, as usual Tyson Fury started to run his mouth again, but Francis just keep calm and then point to the belly of Fury, lol. As we all know, Francis body is solid as compare to Fury who has not have a good body but he was able to carry that so no complains.
And I also see Mike Tyson really putting his works to train Francis here. Maybe he saw something in Francis that he can upset Fury. Just to sharpen his boxing skills and footwork and then the timing of letting his hands to go score a knockout. It's going to be devastating to see Francis knocking out Fury in return.
Yep, I saw it too. I'm glad to see that my boy in this particular fight, Francis Ngannou, is very confident and we cannot see any hint that he is somehow thinking of something negative when he faced Tyson Fury for their upcoming fight. Now, I'd say that this will be a good fight, but what makes it interesting to me more is that Fury seems not taking things seriously. I mean, we can clearly see it. With regards to Mike Tyson's decision to help Ngannou, I know he got his own reason why and in the first place, I don't think that he will train someone whom he sees no chance at all because he will just be part of an embarrassment. It may be a money fight, but I know that it's different from Francis and for him, it's not just about money. |

If someone wanted to know all these terms before trading, he would not start his trading journey. Sometimes it requires some bold decisions and preliminary knowledge about trading because in the end, one hour of actual trading may be worth several hours of books and theoretical reading.
Also, the cryptocurrency market is very volatile and difficult to predict, so knowing the basics of technical analysis, tracking news, support levels, resistance, Fibonacci, averages and learning how to manage risks is essential before starting trading.
As traders, what we all need are just basics in trading and as experience goes on, we come to increase our learnings as well through concrete examples. Even professional traders may have not known all of these and yet, they still end up with decent profits every time they trade. But if you can study all the relevant terms needed in trading, then much better. Trading is a battle of human mind and emotions, so if you have an edge on it, you will have bigger chances to succeed in trading. |

Obsession will always be associated with a negative effect on one’s life. But if you are trying to point out about bitcoin obsession, well probably it’s quite safer to say that it’s better to become obsessed with bitcoin investment than to never have bitcoin at all. However, if you are obsessed with gambling using bitcoin, gambling addiction itself will always be unhealthy so I think that will never be a good decision. I would rather be obsessed with bitcoin investment than to take risk in uncontrolled gambling addiction.

Keep total dependence on reliable source of income and definitely not gambling. Before we enter the system, we should be aware of the most significant advantages and consequences, which are the risks we encounter without carefully examining our roadmaps to follow. Gambling is ubiquitous and has existed since the prehistoric chronological age. The system is probably not for everyone; it has favored some while disappointing others as well. Gambling has had beneficial as well as detrimental impacts on society; it influences the minds of individuals and activities in one way or another.
If you think casino game are rigged, you're wrong. Although technically there's always a winner and loser in gambling, but it's not mean if you win, then the other is lose and vice versa. The game has a house edge and this make the gambler are unlikely to win due to the percentage to win for gambler is lesser than the casino. There's a chance if you win, then the other gambler is also win too. But the casino is always on the winning side because in this kind of business is on the win-win situation always, I don't say that they don't have any losses at all but they might have some losses within a particular hour or day but in the long run, they always win because of that house edge. And yes, there's no such thing as a rigged casino. There may be some that we don't know of but casinos like that won't survive that long because all casinos are client dependent. |

When you wake up in the morning, even if you don't eat your breakfast meal, you first open your account at the online casino. Is that a habit of yours? Can't gambling be considered an addiction or vice? It's not like that's a normal person's work when you do it like that. No offense, mate, but it's true that when a person's mind is empty when they wake up in the morning, gambling is immediately on their mind.
Then, even though you're sleepy, you still insist on gambling. For me, that's not normal anymore, and it doesn't seem right anymore. It also appears that in that case, the gambler is well controlled in such a scenario.
If you wake up in the morning and the first thing that comes in your mind is gambling, it simply means that you are addicted to gambling and you need to get some help to get out of it. The same is with what happens when you are sleepy, if you sacrifice your sleep for gambling, it is a clear sign that you are a gambling addict, because a gambling addict doesn't always need to be out of money, they might always have money to gamble but they just do it all the time which is not right for them. A normal gambler might have an urge to gamble as well but they can always control that urge and don't give up on their sleep or breakfast or any other thing they were about to do only to gamble first and then do that thing because a normal gambler tend to have self-control and a lot of patience. Of course, gambling excessively and even ignoring important needs is an addiction. Because sleeping or resting and eating or breakfast are very important needs for us to stay healthy and fit, and if we ignore these needs then that is a big mistake. And too much gambling is also pointless, because it will only result in you losing continuously. And gamble calmly, fit and full, because in such conditions you will concentrate when playing and also be calm so you can control yourself and you will also gamble at the right time when everything is fine. I believe that there's always a good time when to gamble and at that time, it's surely when we can think clearly and have a fresh mind about it. Rather than continuing these habits that will not give us any benefit at all and instead of winning, we are just getting more and more closer to get some losses along the road. Of course we cannot realize that because we only think of gambling only without considering some factors first that could help us. |

< he might start off the bench because there no extra position for him to fill in while for the meantime, he will be a back up for Davis.
For me, having a player with length like Davis makes him a good backup, even though he may not be as strong as Davis in terms of rebounding and defense. However, giving Davis some rest would already be helpful, as every game feels different when Davis is on the court. He has the ability to bring a positive energy that elevates the team's performance. There shouldn't be any issues with the Lakers on the defensive end, given their height advantage. I'm confident that their coach knows how to manage the roster, so let's wait and see. You know, it's kind of confusing to me now because lately before the Lakers acquired Christian Woods from the free agency, they also acquired and got somebody from the same agency, a guy named Jaxson Hayes. A much younger player who I thought will be trained to replace Davis from being the center so that Davis will have some freedom in chasing down somebody whilst playing alongside LeBron and convert some points towards the team being a PF. Now, the roster seems to be in a middle of mess because of the new additional that they've acquired recently. |

Learn first before you resort into any type of investment. Educate yourself even in low risk bitcoin accumulation and long term hodling, because in reality everything about bitcoin requires knowledge and good information to make you successful. Hodling might be underrated at some point, but always know that you can never hold and expect decent profits after if you also don’t have patience and positive attitude to make your long term hodling work and end in profits.

What about you, what do you dislike ?
The behavior of gamblers I dislike: I dislike gamblers who are irresponsible, taking gambling as a priority, and forgetting the needs of their family. I dislike gamblers who brag a lot. I dislike gamblers who cheat and exploit casino glitches. I dislike gamblers who lies to a friend just to borrow money and fund his gambling activities. The last one is probably the worst, if a gambler wants to lose their money then that is their decision, but to lie to a friend about what would be the purpose of the loan that was given to them is incredibly low, as in that case not only they are deceiving themselves and losing money they cannot afford, but now they are involving their friends as well, and if they ever find out about their deceitful behavior it is likely their friendship will end immediately. Only a scum would do that and stoop that low just to continue their activity but if they're already addicted to gambling then it is not really surprising me if ever a friend pulls that kind of stunt and I'd say that specific kind of friend is not worthy to be called as friend because a true friend will never put your friendship in jeopardy just to feed your dream about gambling. I got no problems or whatever if they are gambling because that's their life but if it's about money that involves me, then that's already a different discussion. |

First off I don't condone horse racing (or animal betting of any type) as it's extremely cruel. Eventually there will be no more horse racing (just as dog racing has all but died in the United States) as people are finally starting to wake up to the cruelties of it.
That being said, I wouldn't loan any friends any money period. Even if he's good at betting horses, that doesn't guarantee he's going to win you or his money back, plus he's more likely to be reckless being that it's a loan.
I share your sentiment, I know that it will take some time because this horse racing or other games that are involving animals in general that are part of betting are somehow a part of the culture or history as these kind of games has been with us since time immemorial. We cannot even trace it back from where it started because of the very long time that has passed but it's sure that these day and age, games like these are getting minimized until we can take it out in our lifetime. Now for the OP, if I'm in that position, I'd take a stand and reject his idea because there's no good in that. I know that he can always go to somebody else and that's okay as long as he knows that when it comes to money specially for betting, I'm not his man whom he can borrow. |
