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.

Lakers got another win, the thing is that teams around them are not doing that much worse neither, so they can't climb up the spots, they are playing at 50%+ most of the time and not having any big losing streaks, in fact getting a few good short win streaks as well and yet they are still not getting any higher, all because teams around them are getting wins too. Like how Dallas just got away with a win over Denver for example.

I think there isn't really any rush to do better neither, because they know they will probably finish 9th, Warriors are not looking like they will climb up, so that means at 9th place they could just place themselves at 8th place with a win at play-in and they could just hope for the best against OKC.

I'm sure these two teams (Lakers and Warriors) will make play in tournament and only one of them will make playoffs. Hopefully its Lakers since i still really want to watch Lebron playing Playoffs. NBA fans saying that it possible Lakers and OKC will battle 1st round playoffs and they predicting that OKC will first round exit. I want to but look Lakers really struggling to make playoffs this year 😭

If they've got AD as healthy as possible the chance of making it to the playoffs is still possible but if they will be playing in the play-in without a healthy AD the chance might be slim especially if they'll going to compete against the Warriors, both are still holding for the last possible spot for the upcoming next round and only one can push their way up.

The days are for LeBron is really nearing he's aging and even he can still paly outstanding game he's capability to lift his team is not the same, the level of competitions are high, just good for the fans that he still got something to showcase and give entertainment for those who continue supporting him.

The level of addiction is too deep that's why the person can go to that far, it's very dangerous if you keep repeating your mistakes over and over the level of your appetite into gambling will continue to increase,  the fact that you are trying to recover all your losses money,  you'll put more to have that chance but if luck will not permit or if greed already dominated you, there's no easy way to quit away from your gambling addiction.

It's best to use spare money and not to allow yourself to exceed from your set limitation, doing this practice will help you avoiding the possibilities that you'll be engaged that much and become addicted.
It's true, the most difficult thing to do is learn to control your desires, so that the budgeted money and time do not exceed the set limits. Greedy on winnings and greedy on the desire to withdraw money that has been used up, forming a very heavy addiction pattern. Especially if we compare our luck with our friends luck, when we are in a losing position we can act recklessly and act out of control, because what we have in mind is the pursuit of victory even though it is an addictive pattern.

Yeah right, especially when you are comparing yourself to other gamblers, you'll desire will be much deeper instead of wisely cashout your balance when you already have something decent, you'll push for more thinking that you can exceed that luck and you'll be able to experiened what other gamblers got when they luckily cashout huge amount of profits, it's a hard battle inside you as it's really addicting especially when you are experiencing a good winning streaks, you need to work more with how you adopt the situation and you need to keep adjusting, instead of pushing forward try to re-assess if you are doing it the right way, becuae if you just continue pushing forward, you'll going to find yourself keep losing the same way.

the best decisions we make in life are usually though
you may not regret by decisions made in seconds done by a gut feeling but these should probably be an exception not a rule
if you're addicted to something that by itself is a sign that something is wrong and that you're not thinking clearly
Yeah that is right, most good decisions are tough decision, that will directly impact our way lf life and how we tend to enjoy our freedom, this is quite essential for the well being of any human and it not in gambling alone but other aspects of life, one need to be very decipline in approach to things, so for anyone to stay above possible addiction there is need for high decipline and dedication to following lay down laws to achieve the majority goals.
Most of those that have become gambling all trun out so because of they inability to have a draw line when the turn back or be able to control their emotions, for sure we must not rely so much on our own ability to control our gambling activities,  because man without law is free to abuse the freedom which will lead to addictions of any form.
There are no legal rules and regulations in online gambling here everyone can gamble at their own pace. If the person does not tell anyone law enforcement will not get any information. The greatest activity is self control. If a gambler can control himself then he will not become addicted. A gambler should be wary of the fact that a bad habit like gambling can wreak havoc in a person's life. This process varies from person to person.

True! it's vary from a person's perspectives, there's no way that you can conclude that if one gambler got addicted it will be generalized that everyone will do, there are still people out there who can play with discipline and can manage to work it out and not to get addicted, I guess, the only thing that we can conclude is if we can't control our emotions, the possibilities that we might ruin our finances and can go deeper and unable to manage things when it's needed, most of the time, when you already out of balance and you are addicted to the game you'll do everything to continue.

To the point that you'll barrow or do things that it's unusual with you, but becuase of that lust and that aggression inside you, doing everything to please you hunger to play will be the priority.

You need to assess yourself if you don't want to fall into this kind of situation and you don't want to put a havoc in your life especially with your finances and your relationships with your love ones.

Yes, and this is done over and over again by gamblers who experience defeat, usually they cannot accept it and return to betting so that they can get back their capital, even though if they were not willing to lose from the start, why should they take the risk of gambling when gambling itself causes more losses than profits. And if he repeats the same mistakes over and over again, it is not impossible that he will become addicted because most addicted gamblers start by chasing losses continuously and not thinking about the bad risks.
This is the beginning of the nature of addiction to gambling places for those who cannot control their emotions. People like that will do anything to get the capital that has been spent on gambling places to come back again. There is even news that surprised me: there are gamblers who are willing to sell their house just to go back to the gambling place again, and finally, he is going crazy. The effects of addiction in gambling places are very dangerous, so you have to be careful when you want to gamble, and I hope you know the time limit for stopping gambling so that something bad doesn't happen in the future.
This should show us how strong and difficult to overcome an addiction can get, since no one on their right mind will ever sell their house just to keep playing a game, and yet that is exactly what those gamblers do, however while those scenarios often lead to the politicians currently in power to blame the gambling industry, I disagree with their conclusion, as if gambling was so dangerous then everyone will get addicted to it, and since this is not the case then the most logical conclusion is that those that became addicted had a predisposition to it to begin with.

The level of addiction is too deep that's why the person can go to that far, it's very dangerous if you keep repeating your mistakes over and over the level of your appetite into gambling will continue to increase,  the fact that you are trying to recover all your losses money,  you'll put more to have that chance but if luck will not permit or if greed already dominated you, there's no easy way to quit away from your gambling addiction.

Yeah right, if this demand from William will take place then chances that each players who believes that they deserve more can just imitate what he did and demand for the price they want, let's wait and see if how this drama will ends up, if William's and TNT will close the negotiation and what will be the outcome, with how TNT is aiming to hire his service, the chance that there are lots of under the table price to cover only the max price but the demand contract might be deal behind the close door.

We all know that players who deserves more take it from the under the table deals, I mean they will sign a max contract but there are more behind that, additional perks that being negotiated outside that sign contracts.



If that's a way to keep them stay, why not. Before, players are looking to play with the PBA as it's the biggest league in the country, however, due to big indifferences of salaries, some choose to play abroad and that means we are missing an entertaining player to watch. So if this action of Williams will open the eyes of the team owners, then maybe they'll start paying competitive salaries and that would solve the problem of the PBA that they are facing now.

I'm referring to problem of attendance as during regular season, the venue are not even 50% of the capacity, it will only attract crowd if Ginebra will play in the FInals, without them, it will be a dull one.

I agree to that, if what's happening right now can give some chance for quality players to demands  their salaries and the team and the league will see the possibilities that it will help the league in terms of fans attendance,  I mean  if the team will adjust to what players are asking and not just these two giant companies but all the teams that inside pba will also be included, there's a big chance  that competition will be on another higher level, which what the fans wants and not just a single team like ginebra who can bring fans interest.

It will be back from how the fans supported their idols and will be willing to pay for the tickets and cheer for their teams,  I missed those years when it's not just ginebra  but also Alaska , Shell,  Purefoods and Sta Lucia  teams that really bring the level of excitement for each fans who loves this  support .

Few more games left in the regular season and one of the finalists last year is still struggling for a spot in the playoffs. I am referring to the Miami Heat who's supposed to start having win streaks to finished at least in the top 6. Although the team even if it's in the play-in or inside the top 6 remains as the dark horse in the eastern conference just like the Lakers and the Warriors in the west. There are young teams in the top rankings but I doubt any of these 3 experienced teams enter the finals again this season.

I like the resiliency of Miami Heat, as long as Bam can play in the playoff, they will be the dark horse team and unpredictable, just like last season and the in the bubble wherein they go into the finals against the Lakers.

For the Lakers and the Warriors, it's a long road for this former champions. Specially the Warriors, there still something that is missing with them. Klay is inconsistent, although they are doing their best to be at least in the play-in. But I do agree that either of this teams are not going into the finals. Time for other teams in the West to shine.

It's a tough  road for all of them,  especially for Lakers and Warriors  as we all know how tough the competition from the west side, all those teams on top are really trying to reached the finals,  it's going to be a big test for both Lakers and Warriors as they are still in the play in situation  only one can go and proceed for the next round not unless there's a big changes that may happened a big losing run for those on the top 8 teams and a winning run either from Lakers or warriors that might change the positioning.

On the east  side, heat already  done that before,  even  they are having an issue  on the regular season  but if by chance they manage to make it to the playoffs they always have that capability to upset the top rank.

Totoo na altcoin talaga ang magpupump ng todo next year once mag mega bullrun since limited nlng sa x2 ang posibleng mataas na profit sa Bitcoinwhile sa Altcoin ay malaki ang potential na magkaroon ng malaking profit lalo na sa mga bagong blockchain project na backed ng malaking VC kagaya ng Celestia na ngayon ay sobrang boom na kahit bago palang.

 Sa tingin ko ay mga bago pang mga ganitong klaseng bagong project na lalabas next year since madami na ang nagdedevelop ng ga blockchain lalo na sa rollups category.
Yan yung mga inaabangan talaga ng mga alts investors kasi pag nakakuha talaga ng supporta ang isang project nakakapagcreate  ng hype  at alam naman natin na dito sa crypto industry malaking bagay ang hype, swerte yung mga makakatiming na makapag invest dun sa mga bagong project na sisikat at tatangkilikin  ng mga investors mas maaga kang makapag invest mas malaki ang kikitain mo.

I think this is the second time that Williams and the TNT have negotiated so I don't think that there will ever be third time even if he humbles himself. The problem with him is that, yes this is a livelihood to them but the opportunity that he's getting for that slot of his is being desired by the other players especially the local players that have talent and heart to play the game in the PBA. Well, TNT must just move and forget about him and ask some other players that are okay to be traded to land that slot for him.

I think the word humbled himself does not apply here. It's a negotiation, he set his own price, so it's like take it or leave it. TNT still wants him, so I think they'll up the price so Williams will sign the contract. With this, I think it would help other players to also demand a higher salary as other leagues outside the Philippines are playing well, so maybe Williams will open the eyes of other players that they should also learn how to negotiate aa long as they believe in their talents.
We have to wait and see. It seems that you're right that TNT is dying hard to take him but most of us are telling that they shouldn't take him anymore and just move on and leave him if there are any other takers of his own set price. There is no more salary cap on the PBA because most of them have their own demands and great salary offer that has been maxed out and even more than the suggested price and cap of the league. If there is a B League offer for him, he should take that away quickly.

Yeah right, if this demand from William will take place then chances that each players who believes that they deserve more can just imitate what he did and demand for the price they want, let's wait and see if how this drama will ends up, if William's and TNT will close the negotiation and what will be the outcome, with how TNT is aiming to hire his service, the chance that there are lots of under the table price to cover only the max price but the demand contract might be deal behind the close door.

Sad truth,  there are many gamblers that will continue to seek for more instead of quitting and enjoying that small wins
Most people are not satisfied with the little win which they have, they will always want more, and if you keep on gambling and you want to win more, then you will end up losing the little which you have won. When you are gambling, always learn to be satisfied with what you have, don’t be greedy, if you win little amount, just take your profit, and stop gambling for that particular time. Don’t believe anything like winning streak, because whenever their is a winning streak, then expect a lose to break the winning streak and it might be coming when you don’t even expect it. So don’t be too confident whenever you are gambling.

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.

911  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What do you do with your altcoin holding with low value on: March 19, 2024, 11:31:18 AM
For those of us that are into altcoin signature campaign and have accumulate some in your wallet, what do you do with it since some of them has low value at the moment if you check their current price?

Do you keep holding it hoping that the price will finally come up since it seems you can't actually trade it with it current value.

Will the altcoin become valueless after the campaign is over or could still gain value after some years.

It depends on the campaign we are participating in. I personally first see whether the project is good or not and see who the bounty manager is who organizes the bounty, then I join the bounty campaign and I don't expect more about the prize because it can be said that sometimes luck also applies, that's why I Usually, when I get a prize, I sell it straight away. I hold it for a week at most, because in my personal experience, the exchange rate for prizes drops by 50% on average, that's why I sell at the beginning. That's why the prizes from the campaign have gone down because on average those who get prizes immediately sell their tokens.

Luck plays well with most of the projects that you'll going to join the campaing, like you, it's better not to expect that much and if you already have the chance to sell what you've got from the early stage of the bounty release, better to sell and and enjoy whatever the price that you've gain, just move forward to another campaign and repeat the cycle, time might come that you'll be able to make some decent amount of money from each campaign, just make sure to participate with managers who have good credentials think that they may not waste time or they'll not going to sacrifice their reputation, chances is good to make some benefits.

I have joined many campaigns, and all of them have some similar patterns. Like the price will drop when you can sell. Many people just sell immediately after receiving the reward. Some project prices will keep falling down. But there are still projects that come back strong. I usually hold all rewards for a long time. I join a campaign because I really like it among other campaigns.

There are different treatments when you join a campaign, I like the fact that you can use your rewards to invest as well, but similar patterns with each projects, as long as you make some money then it's  good to go.

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.
913  Other / Off-topic / Re: Keeping your gambling habit a secret. on: March 18, 2024, 08:53:39 AM
That is what I've been talking. Instead of hiding, show what you do, so in case there are troubles, people can help you. I dont understand those who hide their gambling habit. Are they shy? Are they afraid what society will think about them? Gambling has received bad reputation for nothing, compared to other addictions. When people lose in gambling, other think negatively about gambler, like he is a looser. When people win, others also thing negatively about gambling, because they envy. I have never hidden fact that I gamble. From early childhood I have learned, that whenever I try to hide something I do, to lie, to cheat, it always ends bad.
It is extremely bold and great that you have chosen to be honest about your gaming activities. It's not an easy task, considering the ongoing stigma associated with gambling. I believe that many people are afraid of being judged or disgraced if they are open about their gambling habits, which is sad. But I believe you are correct in saying that it is preferable to be upfront and honest than to try to hide a fact about your life. In the long term, honesty and transparency will result in a happier and more satisfying life.
The better for us to keep our gambling activities secret will help us to look more responsible without any doubt. Since there are people that see people that gamble a lot as unserious, we need to keep making sure that not every one knows about us to gamblers. It is better for us to keep our gambling activities safe from the public than to look more into gambling in the public. Children are one of the reasons why we need to make sure that we don't gamble too much and we make sure that our gambling activities is sure and prevented from the children if not, we are going to lose more than in reputable to our children.

The point of hiding in a purpose that no one will be influence of your gambling activities especially those young kids around you, it's really needed to be more responsible when you participate yourself in this kind of activities,  not just because of those reasons but also considering other people's views though they should not be minded that much as long as you are using your money hard earned  money,.

But, we all know that they always have that criticism and comments that we also need to take care, having said it will always depends from how you anticipate and handle the situation that surrounds you.

..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.
916  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: March 18, 2024, 02:36:23 AM

The truth is that when a gambler is addicted to gambling, he's very likely to make decisions that's not going to be beneficial for him at that moment because most of the things he'll be doing be will mostly be influenced by his desire to satisfy his gambling addiction. Loan as we all know is mostly taken by people who are trying to invest in their different business endeavors and not to use them for gambling but when a gambler is addicted to gambling, taking loan from any financial institution just to fund their gambling activities won't be a big issue for him.
Most times gambling addict takes this decisions unconsciously and can't just help themselves. Gambling addict have caused so many people to take decisions they would never take when they're completely stable and that's why we as a people must continue to condemn gambling addict and also preach about the consequences of gambling addiction
When it comes to gambling addiction,  there is no limit to how far one can go and that is the reason you see some gambling addicts going as far as taking loan just to gamble with and with the hope that they will win and there after recover.

Addiction is a high pressure thing that put the gambler on the higher risk of wanting to earn more by risking all, this is why we always preach that gamblers should take gambli6as an entertaining and fun and not with the aim to hit a jackpot or trying make money off it at any time, because trying to do so you may be putting your money at risk and also making you to become addicted to gambling.

Yeah right, there's no level if how far you can go in terms of gambling addiction, if the limitation already exceeded and you can't control things or can't handle your aggressions to keep playing, like many other people's opinion addiction can lead you to do something that unusual and unexpected, there are some quiet people who you won't think can do crime but because of addiction they fall to do things that they are not known of doing.

They been force by the situations, they just wanted to keep playing but they've got limited resources and to be able to proceed, they need to do things that they are force just to please their gambling needs.

He needs to continue working on his diet, whatever his following now it's helping him to keep his stamina and also helping him to avoid having an injury, his performances really help his team a lot, with that numbers that he's prducing that brings more offensive arsenal and what we are witnessing right now only proves that his presence really have a big impact to their rally,.

Not directly with the diet but Los Angeles Clippers just can't stop Zion Williamson on that night. It was pointed out by Tyron Lue after the game that Zion is not just an inside scoring machine but can also hit shots from the perimeter. Currently, Zion is still not concerned about his diet as long as he can perform well as for him, there's no problem lol.

If he cares about his diet now, there should be no clause about the mandatory diet on his current contract.

The first time I heard given for a player lol.

Oh well, that's a good point, if he already done managing his diet the claw in his contract might be updated already but since there's no update about that maybe he's just doing so well and it's really giving the team that good impact winning games, just continue what it is that preventing him from suffering with another hard injury and continue performing well I guess.

No one is yet to talk about how that last shot and buzzer beater made by Kyrie against the Denver Nuggets today. 2.8 seconds left on that 4th quarter and the ball was in their possession. Score was tied up with both 105 but just one good shot and they'd end the game and Kyrie did it.

What's amazing on his shot is that it was a left hook shot or floater or whatever you call it from the free throw line. This is what amazing it is to watch some of these games when the game is too intense and they're on the verge of having an overtime but then, the other retaliates and don't want to prolong it.

A nice finish it is for the home court and this is going to be one of the greatest plays not just for Kyrie but also for the league itself. Wow.

What a game for both teams, just so happened that only one can take the win but both shows up good competition and regards to that last shot, Kyrie got a lots of amazing shots I guess it was an intinct and a call to him as one of the super stars of the team, you can lean on him and he delivered it so well.

As I posted on this thread about my strategy of betting against my favorite team, another strategy I used is betting against my intuition. LOL. In the last World Cup, I only bet against who I thought would win, and luckily, I won so many games. I didn't expect that, but I think I will try again sometime in the future.  Kiss

I have similar periods too, everything I bet ends up opposite to my prediction... And at those moments I think that I would do much better if I bet on the total opposite of my intuition, but unlike you, I have never tried/tested this method. It's not like didn't think about it, but I'm not sure if that could work for me, sometimes when something doesn't work it just doesn't work.

If there's one thing I have learned after all these years of betting, it's that there is no one strategy that always works. Each strategy is good in its own way and each of them has periods when it works and periods when it doesn't. So the best thing we can do is to try to mix different strategies and to somehow try to be unpredictable as much as possible.
I agree with you. Every strategy may only fit certain situations or individuals. So it is better to know many strategies so that we can find the best one for us. Does anyone here know about the movie '21'? It's about using math to beat the blackjack game. Lol, I wish I knew some tricks to play in a casino like that. Back to betting, next week is important for me with Arsenal vs Man City. Smiley)) I will bet for Man City (yes, I'm an Arsenal fan).  Kiss

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.

Judging by what author write about this case, their fraud has been exposed. They will most likely have to face charges of perjury. That is, problems were added because of their wickedness. They also violated one of the main rules - not to use money that you cannot afford to lose.
And as for the fact that there are people who want someone else to pay for their food, then such people have always been there and will be, unfortunately, from human nature we will not escape anywhere

I see your point and that's exactly what happened, they pointing the blame to someone thinking that they can manipulate the situation and escape freely from what they've done, but they did not succeed, they need to pay and they need to suffer from the mistake that they both did, there's always a price when you do something that exceed from what you can afford to lose.

They need to take the blame and serve the sentece for both of them, they deserve it and hopefully they learned from that
mistake that they did and not to do it again.

Quote from: GideonGono
I used to do it before, but then I realize that it was an amount that I could afford to lose from the beginning, and I risked it knowing that I could lose that money so I shouldn't try to increase the amount of money that I would risk, just by trying to recover what I already lost.
For me if you would try to chase what you lost, then you shouldn't have gamble at all.
What is gone is gone and, it will be better you face the presence with the amount of money you can afford to risk because if you continue chasing the losses in your gambling, it can lead you to be addicted to gambling and it can cause you to regret for such attitude you embrace.

 If you gamble for winning nothing wrong about that but if you are gamble to recover the losses you experience and you are trying to chase the losses with huge amount of money, it will never give you the kind of result you want.


It will not most of the time, but maybe if luck permits you might recover but the thing is, once you start winning again your apettite to continue playing got higher, instead of quitting after recovering your loss you will feel that aggression to keep the winning momentum, you'll choose to keep playing to try winning more money, as greed will dominate and ends up the same outcome as before.

Losing back all your money to the house as you did not take the advantage of quitting your way while you still have that chance.

Thoug, as long as you are using spare money that you can forget after losing, you might prevent yourself getting engage and lead your way to addiction.
