Greed is one of the main problems of people who gamble or play in casinos or place bets. Moreover, greed can come from both sides. The first situation is what you are describing, when a person wins several times in a row and greed appears about missed opportunities and insufficient profits. The second moment is the opposite when a person loses several times in a row and loses money and greed begins and the person wants to win back and begins to lose even more. As a result, greed can manifest itself in different ways.

Of course, everyone has a sense of greed in different ways, but of course with money, everyone definitely wants more. Even though when you win by gambling, of course there is a desire to get more, and if there is no self-control then it is likely that the gambling will continue. indeed greed is a problem that often occurs with gambling, I think all gamblers definitely experience this, not only when they win, of course when gambling ends in defeat it can also make them greedy and make them gamble again by depositing money. return to pursue winnings or to recover losses.

Of course, winning at gambling is so tempting that many people are trapped by those who want to win, even though winning at gambling cannot be obtained according to their hearts' desires. Winning at gambling can be obtained if we are just lucky, but many gamblers force themselves to gamble because they really want to win, so the gambling they do is motivated to chase victory, not to have fun.

It's a trapped indeed, since when you are in the winning side you wanted to push for more that's greed that dominating and instead of being contented and quit your way out to enjoy, you'll choose to stay and keep pushing aiming for more, you only realize that you are doing wrong when you start suffering from losses, when losing streaks start to show up.

You find yourself regretting, almost a good win if you manage to control more on self-control but what more is you'll just keep repeating the same mistake as if you add up more money to re-try your chance, you just do that same mistake, allowing greediness to dominate and failed to control your emotion.

Right, and it has to be a good therapist, not just someone taking this position. Ask people around for recommendations, or maybe google about a psychoanalytic professional in your area who has a reputation for successfully treating gambling addiction.
Ask yourself the true question, if you're an addict, are you ready to quit? No it's never going to be enough because we're humans and desperate for more profits. Addicts suffers from heavy losses, that's for those that have failed to comply with the measures necessary to pulled the essential deal. Gambling addicts will do everything to have the points accumulated to their end, when I talk about points, it's going to be crucial. We're all facing challenges and suffering from the crucial problems in the space. It's never easy sticking to a more improved form but it's definitely going to be a devastated state.

Your self-will and with the help of professional if you are deeply engage with gambling and the level of your addiction is something that can't be handled by just doing it on your own, but with the help of someone who understand your situation and have that broad knowlegde on how things should be working in order to reset everything.

If addiction already dominated inside you, there's a strong will that needs to be boost by proper care and proper adjustments, there's always a way if the person itself is willing to work his way to quit.

It's needed that you are willing to cooperate and you are willing to push your way to change up and stop whatever your practices and try resetting everything to turn back your usual state.

You didn't clarify what sports or games your talking about but I think its football from the points you gave out, I think everyone checks out club performance before they make predictions but strategies sometimes can fail and you can lose.

Building strategies are good but doesn't guarantee winnings, but I can help you create a pattern that cam help you make better decisions in gambling.
Yes, in football game, points are very important in terms of prediction because the team that is the best and the team that can win the most matches is definitely considered as a strong team. And those teams are more likely to win the next matches as well. But still no one can guarantee their win. So no one can win every match using his strategy.  Because of this everyone has to accept that gambling is risky.  And everyone has to take risks and gamble

No guarantee at all, even the underdog can snatch a win against the heavy favorite, and it's not unusual as we've seen a lot in terms of sports betting outcomes, not just in football, but also from different available games that we bet on, and likewise, you need to assess, and you need to compare performances between two competing squads to analyze the winning chances, and since that it's not just win or lose options you can also predict scores and players and teams stats, there are many additional alternatives aside from who's going to win the game, just need to adjust with your knowledge and continue learning how you can predict the next possible outcome.

But then again, you need to base your pattern and strategy according to your experience and according to how you understand the game, there's an edge that you can develop when you know the squad or teams that you are following and supporting for your picks.

I think they're just trying to save themselves from huge losses but what they did have brought them into a worse situation. The truth will always prevail no matter how we cover up our mistakes. Blaming someone else isn't a good idea and it couldn't even save us from our huge losses. We are only dragging ourselves to bad situations more. It will be better to control ourselves or just accept losses in case we lose our funds since that's a part of gambling. We can't blame others if we are the ones who are making wrong decisions.
in gambling we supposed to know that the statistics of people who lose in gambling is higher than the statistics of people who profited in gambling so when you look at the analysis or these two things you have to compare and understand that anyone who does not have a job or who does not take good care of their family is not supposed to involve itself into gambling knowing that a gambling have to deal with opportunity and the risk, neither you are opportune to Merit gambling or you fall into victim of losing whatever you stake and gambling so that is the advantages and  disadvantages of gambling.

Indeed, you need to understand and you need to adopt whenever you choose to proceed, there's no guarantee even sometimes you may take profits but it's not always and there's always a big risk, and if you don't know how to handle and work on it, the chance that it will push to stake more, and that's what happened to this mother and son,

they think that they might recover or win some when they use that money but suddenly, it turned agaisnt them and the only way they think to hide the truth is to blame someone and point their fingers just to escape from this obligation, but things didn't work as law enforcers proves that it was them who gamble and burned those money inside gambing house.

I think the exhibition fight with Buakaw will still push through because i have seen Manny's video training hard for this.
The fight between Manny and Buakaw is one of the legendary fight agendas between two Asian athletes who so far have millions of fans in the world, currently these two legendary fighters have long since quit their official fights and on April 20 will face each other to show their fighting skills in a fight titled Legend Fight with a fairly large prize.

I think all eyes will certainly be on Manny who we have always known as a boxing legend and of course he will have no trouble facing Buakaw in the exhibition match even though he is now 45 years old, in fact I think it will be an easy fight for Manny who has a lot of boxing experience compared to Buakaw who is only a muang thai fighter,  Reportedly the fight has boxing rules which only use his hands and will obviously be very difficult for Buakaw as a former Muay Thai fighter, Buakaw was previously accustomed to using elbows, knees, and kicks.
Reportedly this fight will be held at Icon Siam Park, Thailand and will last as many as 6 rounds and each round lasts 3 minutes, and the rest time is 2 minutes.


Adjustments with the rule is something that will give Manny additional edge, Buakaw needs to follow that rules and if ever that instinct comes up chances that he might use something that illegal inside boxing rules, I guess even he' popular from that sport Manny can dominate him, as upon watching Manny's training seems that he's still fit and his figthing capabilities still high, though speed might not be the same from what we expect during his prime but the timing and that solid combination which very difficult to anticipate if where it will coming from, that's how Pacquiao throw his punches.

Looking forward to hear more about updates from this upcoming exhibition I know for sure that fans of both figthers missed them and even it's just for entertainment both fighters will show up some enjoyable and entertaining exchanges of punches.

Sadly, Alperen Sengun is out for the season. Let's see if Jabari Smith and Fred VanVleet could still scare those above them. Cheesy

It's unlikely that the Rockets can reach the play-in zone in the standings and displace any of the mentioned teams. By the way, the Rockets have only 17 games left in the regular season, and the problem is that they are quite a bit behind the Warriors in terms of win percentage. Can the Rockets win at least 14 of their remaining 17 games to really compete for the last play-in spot? I doubt it.

Nah, there's no hope for the Rockets unless they win at least 80% from their remaining games and considering the Lakers and the Warriors will also lose 60-70% of their remaining games. Every team below the 10th seed has only very little to no chance of making to the play-ins.
On the other side, the Pelicans, Kings, Suns, Mavericks, Lakers, and Warriors are tightly contesting for the playoffs and play-in spots. And it looks like the Lakers and the Warriors are most likely not gonna secure a spot in the playoffs without playing for the playins and try to find their way to the playoff spot. Too bad for both of these teams as the teams who's above them are not an easy teams to beat. In fact a couple of these teams just gave them a really bad beating this season. The Lakers just got swept by the Kings this season. AD has absolutely no answer against Sabonis who recorded 0-10 against him his whole career.
It's gonna be exciting to watch whether or not the Lakers or the Warriors can make it again to the playoffs coming off the play-in tournament.


That's a tough challenge for both Lakers and Warriors but who knows, the game still rolling and they still have games to compete the position still unsecure to all of them and with good plays and good adjustments with the system that they are executing they might find that winning rhythm and maybe they both start winning games again, though just the same with your opinion, those teams above are also competitive teams which is not an easy opponents to beat, they need to come up with good adjustments to make things possible while trying to survive during this regular season.

And the Mavs won against the Steph Curry and Draymond Green less Warriors. But they have to pay the price as Luka went down with a left hamstring soreness so he will be questionable against the OKC in their next game. And so the triple double streak ended as well.
I hope he is fine and he will be back soon because he is playing at an MVP level this season, he has a chance to win an MVP award.
Luka makes this team better, without him things will be different.

Wait, Gafford's 100% FG percentage streak is still active? This game he is 5-5/

But it was a good performance, their 2 latest acquisition in the trade deadline doing the damage, Gafford with a lot of block shots + 10 points, PJ Washington with 11 points. We do hope that Luka can play against OKC because that is another must win game for them.

Dallas needs a big man and Gafford was the real answer. For him, life is easier as Luka is good at passing on the pick and roll everytime he gets doubled.
Easy money, reason why Gafford FG percentage can't drop.

Yeah, they have experimented with a lot of big men in their last couple of seasons, if I remember it correctly, they got CWood as well, but he was not a perfect fit on how they play. And not sure why the Wizard unload him, he is a good big men. So it was a great pick for the Mavs indeed.

I think it's not that serious injuries, although it could re-occur. I also remember that James Harden has this kind of hamstrings too since the days with the Houston Rockets. And there will be time that we will missed games and then will go on stationary bike prior to the game to warm up his hamstrings.

Yeah, Mavs needs someone who can help them inside, not sure why both CWoods and KP didn't workout for them, but looking at Gafford seems that he's benefiting from how Luka and Kyrie is playing the game, just need to be there when the team needed him maybe not that much with offense but with good defense and inside presence.

It’s may not really be necessary to tell someone about your gambling habit and how far you are being addicted and gambling but sometimes it’s also necessary because you need someone to really really advise you very well, you may be dying on silent because of your loss and the shame That it has brought to you because of your lost.

It helps if you know someone who can give you advise that will be beneficial with your gambling participation, sometimes we do listen to a person who we do respect well, though it depends from the level of your addiction, if you are really deeply engage there's no way that you will listen but instead you just wanted to keep your gambling without any hesitation.

Quote
You may look like a disappointment, but keep a secret may not really be a good idea to me if I am to advice no one should have a secret unless you are organized very well you don’t over gamble you are not addicted  And you have a particular person of money which is no more than 5% that you are gambling because it’s just like normal money that you can also do for normal expenses.

Yes, if you have that capabilities, then it's good for you to keep your gambling as discreet as possible, but if you can't handle the pressure better to let someone to know and alarm you if you are already been engage too much.

Quote
It’s not something that will upset you or keep you on emotion if you lose it it’s money that you can’t afford to lose in the situation. You can keep a secret, but if you are over gambling taking a lot of money, put in gambling, it may not be necessary for you  to keep it secret you just have to speak out so people can talk with you and tell you what to do and share opinions

Same with you, if you can't control then it's better to speak up and ask for some advise it may boost yourself to keep yourself away from gambling, but still depending from how a person treats his gambling activities.

78-94, it's a 16 point victory.

They are back!

Hopefully they will carry that momentum on their next game. You can see how good their defense are to limit their opponent to 78 points only. This team reach the Semi Finals, for sure that experience was already huge as a factor for them to be more confident, and with this strong 4th quarter run is a resemblance to what they did during their series with the Magnolia Hotshots.

RR Garcia was probably the best player since he score 20 points, the leading scorer and it looks like he turned the clock back with his great performance.

Honestly, I'm surprised and impressed at the same time as I haven't seen him getting this kind of numbers anymore.

Yeah, they managed to reached the semis last season and they are now showing what they've got, after losing 2 games they are now adjusting and I like how you pointed out the defense that they've made, limiting their opponents especially in the 2nd half they just need to be consistent and just play the game with full confidence working along side of each other,  they've got a long season to compete and for sure lots of games to work and execute that right system to win a game.

Speaking of Garcia it was  way back from the time where him and Romeo was so hot,  it's been a long time just like you said to see him producing this numbers.

Mukhang inalat karamihan ng talpakero dito ah. But na lang din nagpahinga ako sa mga laro kanina. Try ko naman ulit talpakan mga laro bukas pero sa isang game lang.

Kings ML vs Lakers in Sacramento. Walang pahinga ang Kings sa larong ito kaya slight underdog sila. Ang Lakers naman sakto sa pahinga. Pero tingin ko ay kaya e-sustain ang momentum ng Sacramento. Nasa harapin rin sila ng mga fans kaya sana ay bigay todo pa din sila tulad noong pinataob nila ang Lakers dati. So far this season ay wala pa naipanalo ang Kings laban sa Lakers

Medyo maalat nga  yung resulta ng mga natayaan ng manunugal nating mga kabayan, medyo maalat bawat teams na nasuportahan pero sadyang ganyan talaga ang buhay sugalero kailangan mo lang mag move on sa tuwing  matatalo ka eh hanap na lang ulit ng pwede mong matayaan para sa mga susunod na game.

Parang maganda yang tatayaan mo bukas ha, kung magtutuloy yung mainit na laro ng Kings mahihirapan makapalag yung visiting team kaya lang isa din sa kailangan iconsider eh ung magkasunod na laro baka pagod na masyado yung Kings at baka abusuhin ng galing sa pahingang Lakers, good luck na lang kabayan.

I would not say that a gambler only gambles for entertainment, of course every gambler has an interest in earning money that we cannot ignore. But we can bring control there. Trying to make a small amount of money from gambling is not addictive. But some gamblers want to change their life by gambling, they want to move up from their positions quickly. Some gamblers are so greedy that they consider gambling as their main occupation to the exclusion of other activities. I have seen many who manage their gambling in their workplace as well. They consider money as a source of income. Of course gamblers should do anything within limits.

Every activity must come, voluntarily or involuntarily, to an end. If a gambler doesn't want to respect himself and stop his gambling session, lack of funds will, involuntarily, end it. Gamblers have different stages of stopping the game, some may continue with loan, and end up being in debt. While others may not be able to withstand the pressure of being in debt, they go ahead to try illicit means of earning money to finance their gambling lifestyle. These types of gamblers are not exhibiting, properly, a good gambling behavior. Numerous losses barely help the player to have a rethink, instead he keeps on trying till all is lost. Including his joy and natural lifestyle.

Speaking of differences, that's true there are many types of gamblers some may have that good control over their emotions and can manage the pressure, the chance of quitting before addiction triggers are better for those kinds of gamblers, while on the other side, there are many gamblers who can't withstand the pressure and instead of stopping they push their ways as both lust and desires already conquered their entire mindsets, they just want to gamble even their finances is already suffering, like what you mentioned to the point that they will loan money and do things unusal just to please their addictions.

Yes, this has been one of the metro problem of gamblers whenever they are losing they feel like they want to get back what they have lost and they will keep on gambling gambling gambling and the process of putting more money. They keep on losing it feel like madness, because at the end of everything they will finally lose all the money they have got thinking that they are going to get back they lost. It’s not really that way and it won’t profit you if you continue on the process the only better thing is that when you find out that you are losing you just have to take a break and analyze before you start again.

A kind of emotion that will put you to suffer to more problems to come, if you can't handle that pressure and you keep following that emotion it will drive you to become addicted, and from that stand point there's no  control unless a self-will and a caring help from your love ones take care of you and help you to quit out from that kind of situation.

Rumors are circulating about Crawford facing Eubank Jr but I am not buying it. I am not sure what Crawford gets fighting Eubank Jr. and as mentioned by @Kemarit, both are working under Bomac. Or maybe both fighters have issues in the gym that they want to fight each other. But still, Crawford gets nothing fighting Eubank Jr unless he can dictate a catchweight.

Crawford's years are really wasted. Inoue if he wins in his next defense or if Usyk wins against Fury deserve to replace Crawford as the new pound for pound.

Maybe it came from the camp of Eubank Jr, but doesn't make sense. However, I don't see any names in the 147 lbs that could give Crawford a good fight or even more money. Charlo maybe at 160 lbs would be good as we all know that during his fight with Spence, they are going back and forth him and the Charlo's.

But as others have said, it's the rematch that we are all been waiting because as far as we know, Spence has activated it already the last time we heard. But so far, there are no noise about it.

Without a confirmation fans been hang on the air, Crawford's years are being wasted as there's no confirm fight that being updated maybe he's enjoying those millions that he recieved from his win and he's trying to keep that belts and whoever the next figther to challenge him will need to bring him an interest to call for it, not sure what might be the next step for Crawford and that rumor fight against Eubank Jr, is just a publicity to bring Crawford name up or maybe to hype Eubank and who knows if fans buy this maybe they will start creating a channel to negotiate for a possible match up between the these two fighters.
953  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling mistake repeated by the gamblers on: March 13, 2024, 11:11:10 AM
This is very common, if you are doing something that you enjoy, not only you do not want to stop but also times seems to fly away so you feel as if you have not done the activity for long, even when you have been engaged on it for hours, this is a trick that our mind plays on us and we need to be aware of it and know when to stop, otherwise it could be possible that in order to keep true to those feelings you will gamble way more money than what you had planned for.
Sometimes it's not about money, but you are considered to be an irresponsible gambler if you also don't limit the time that you spend on your gambling activities which means that you can't spend the whole day in the casino and then say that you didn't lose a lot of money because you have lost a lot of time and as they say, time is money.

So when someone gambles, they need to make sure that they have a limit on their gambling budget but they also need to make sure that they have a limit for the time they will spend in the casino as well so that they don't spend a lot of money and a lot of time on their gambling activities like any other responsible gambler in the community.
I agree, in my case I do have time limits in place as well, however as I mentioned on my previous post, this can difficult for many gamblers to do at the beginning, as they are enjoying themselves so much when they gamble that they do not feel time flying past them, and this can be very dangerous, since even if a person did not lost too much at the time, even if they gambled for long, there is no way to know what it may happen next, as huge losses could be incurred if they happen to be unlucky during their next session.

Yeah staying longer will create deeper engagements not unless you wisely using your experienced to learn more and to have that kind of adjustments from time to time, not too many gamblers can developed good strategy to pattern their gambling activities, but there are some who use their engagement wisely and make something good to make decent amount of profits, not just for entertainment but the focus to lesser the losses and convert the experienced to anticipate and create a good pattern to try winning against the house, not generilizing but chances to make good runs when you see opportunities as you already seen some alike patterns with how the sytem works along the way.
954  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who among you here is gambling at work? on: March 13, 2024, 10:43:59 AM
Sometimes, when work has stalled and my brain has overheated, I am tempted to play online casinos on my full time job. It's like a way to get distracted and relax for a few minutes. The pros are that it adds thrills and excitement to my boring work day.
But, there are also disadvantages: I lose focus and concentration at work, and also risk being caught by my superiors. Therefore, I try not to get too carried away and use the game as a short entertainment.

Sometimes the best thing to do it to relax a bit and then go back to work with increased focus.

Some people enjoy this and can go gambling for a few minutes and then come back to the job with recharged batteries.

Others go gambling and never really come back, their mind is stuck in the gambling.

It's like any other addiction really. In moderation it's great.

That's the problem, if you can't control yourself you'll compromise your job if the focus turned to gambling when you play while working there's a chance that you'll messed up, though I get your point and that's going to depend from how a person takes care of his emotion, if he can just kill some time and can bounce back without any problem then that might work, but, again, still depends from what the company rules and how they take this kind of action from one employee, most of the time company doesn't like any extra activities as they are paying right amount so they also wanted to get that time from each individuals who are working for them.


It's tempting many people when they feel overheated in their works and thinks that playing gambling will relax them and can back to work with fresh. But that's not a good decision as their minds may not stop playing gambling easily because when they win or lose, they will still playing gambling and there is a tend that they will continue playing gambling no matter what's the result. If a person can know how long they can playing gambling, he can stop immediately from playing gambling. But we knows that gambling can tempt him to continue playing gambling and this time, he will try to chase the win and recover his loses. That will makes him forget to limit his time to playing gambling because he can't stop himself from gambling. The risks is he can get caught by his superiors because of playing gambling in his work.

Yeah right, the chance of keeping your focus into gambling either you are winning or losing will lead you not to pay attention to your work, it might ruin your bread and butter in terms of financial needs. Better not to deal with it if you can hold and wait till your shift ends up and you have all the free time to gamble.
955  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling all about luck? on: March 13, 2024, 10:11:47 AM

There is a big difference between an experienced gambler and an ordinary gambler. It cannot be assumed that there is any depression among experienced gamblers when they lose a bet, but when a new or inexperienced gambler loses, there is a dark shadow of depression in them. Experienced people forget about losing a bet forever and think about the next bet, but an inexperienced person regrets that bet and is hindered from making the right decision for the next bet. I have seen one of my gamblers friend who gamble normally even after some big losses. What he tells me is that there is no point in interrupting the present with the past. Try to win in gambling and wait patiently which will bring positive result for you.

That's right, of course there is a difference between experienced gamblers and ordinary gamblers, namely the way they experience defeat or loss. Experienced gamblers say that when they lose, maybe they are used to this kind of thing and they respond to it. This is a normal and normal thing experienced by gamblers, but if you talk to ordinary gamblers, many of them cannot accept the losses that have occurred and there is a big possibility that this will happen. He will always remember this all day long because he is not able to control his emotions well.

As simple as it is that when you lose you need to accept that and move forward, the good advantage of a experienced gambler as they will not dwell with regrets but instead they will use that experienced to learn mroe and to try working with whatever adjustments they need to make  good comeback and who knows luck will back them after re-trying to attempt betting or playing back. There's no assurance that an experienced gambler will not suffer to a loss, no one can accurately beats the system, but if you know how to play with your emotion you have a better chance not just to enjoy when luck comes up but to take the advantage and use that luck in a proper way to make some decent profits.

More on how you will manage luck when it appears and help you during your gambling session, most of the time, gambler failed to take the advantage as instead of quitting while they've got the chance, they become greedy and lose everything back.

How about the Clippers leading by 20 points early but then lost to the Wolves at Crypto arena? They started how in the first half, rushing and leading as high as 20 points. But the Wolves didn't give up, ANT started to cook in the 3rd quarter. And him and the veteran Mike Conley and Alexander-Walker are hitting their 3 point shot. On the other hand, the Clippers are struggling and because of their great defense. There were moments wherein Paul George getting one on one against ANT but the young fellow has good defense and stole the ball from George. So it's almost a 20 point swing in this game as the Wolves won by 18 points.

That's just one of the great performance of the Timberwolves and the reason why they are on the top seed right now. We've seen a lot of crazy comebacks from a lot of different teams most frequently this season, this is just an indication that there are actually no leads are safe until the game concluded. Just most recently Dean Wade made a crazy fourth quarter to come back from a 20+ pts deficit in the 4th and win the game. That was just a few games after LeBron took over the 4th quarter to beat the Clippers in another comeback win.
These are all because the game of basketball today are more fast paced and everyone can shoot 3s more efficiently than before. A 20+ pts lead even in the 4th quarter isn't really safe nowadays. It will only take 1 player in the zone and extra effort on the defensive end can make a comeback win.

It was the defense that really helps the Wolves to outrun the Clippers, like what you mentioned, even a double digit lead in the final quarter ain't safe anymore, as players can hit high percentage shots and play good defense to turned the tempo of the game and snatch the win, another monster performances of ANT but I think what I love is seeing how the coach blends players inside and how they are doing their respective roles in helping each other, even how good ANT might be without the help of everyone he won't be able to single carried the team and win the game.

They are performing and the way they are forcing the defense that's  something that will help them to reach the playoffs and hopefully with KAT recover back they might have a good shot to move forward.

Too early for that though, just need to be consistent and keep the competitiveness to  win more games during the regular season.

There is nothing like that shit doesn't work is real, and anyone that tells you to believe that is trying to fool you, especially those that take a fee from you to give you experts predictions, this will not go down well with the outcome before it happens, gambling is not like trading where you can copy another person trade pattern,  because gambling is a game of chance and luck and for.that none can foresee what the outcome of tla bet will be irrespective of the level of the analysis.
 and chances to win and nothing more, the highest an expert prediction can do for you is to give you a clue to what to look out for and by so doing also just gives an insight or data to work with but not an end solution in itself.

Yeah, but the thing is that the market is irrational.

So, in a way, you could make money buying and selling a stock or a company that doesn't do anything.

These days it's all about hype. Normal markets are now closer to a casino really.

More on hype and risk taking if you are a big fan of it you might make some decent benefits, though there's no accurate and precise strategy as everything still depends from how you assess and predict the potential outcome, if someone gives you idea you can simply use it and analyze the possibility but in terms of precisely anticipate the outcome of the game or the market, there's nothing like that, all is to make money and if a gambler can accurately predict then he don't need to ask for paid prediction he will simply place bets and quitely enjoy the outcome of his gambling.

There is no 100% guarantee in gambling. I believe that the predictions or tips that some experts make are just for reference and sometimes this can help, at least some people. I don't believe that there can be any expert in gambling who knows everything and can be 100% correct, I respect them, but I believe that there is no type of strategy that's unique and that can always guarantee victory every time we bet.

You're right though there are some people who win in gambling using their tips that's if luck is on their side, because as gambling is concern I don't think if their is any expert prediction in gambling. gambling itself sometimes is unpredictable,I have visited different websites for tips and whenever time I make use of this tips, I always lose money.so in this case I think there is no expert prediction.

Some may and other will not, aside from luck analysis that being done sometimes gives a decent outcome, but you can't rely on it as there's no sure bet, you are inside gambling so the only sure deal is the risk behind those bets.

With Mikey williams, Poguy and Oftana I think they've something to compete with but since Williams is no longer playing with them and Poguy is unable to help that much, Oftana can't take the whole responsibilities, still young and still need more help from his squad.
Speaking of Mikey Williams, I've read that he's asking for a max contract of $31k-$40k from TNT as the negotiation is on again. But then, there was a counter offer from the TNT giving him $26k with some perks that he'd surely like from having a free rent and free car. When he asked for a counter offer of $31k, there was no reply anymore from the TNT. I know that he's good and an MVP but this is more than the policy of salary cap of the PBA and they're allowing this to get spilled? What team can offer him this, maybe Converge?


Also read the same article, and the fact that TNT is still pursuing him despite of that high offer, it only says that they really want him to be in the team. Williams will  be very effective under coach Chot system because they need a player who can go ISO most of the time, and with his talent he is very fit to the TNT. Also, we should not forget that the first time Mikey Williams played with the TNT, they already won a championship IIRC.
He's no doubt needed by TNT but if negotiations won't do with both of them then TNT has to drop their interest on him and they should just go for any other available player that can play his role. He sure is fit with the TNT but if the budget won't fit what he's asking, there will be a lot of issues since this type of talks have been publicized already when the maximum salary cap isn't even half of what he's asking and this is another controversy for the PBA management why they are obviously allowing such under the table.
Better to let him go and  not pursue in any negotiations with him, there are  many things that TNT needs to explain about his demands if ever they'll managed to sign him back, it was publicly reported and with salary cap that each players can receive for sure it will bounce to the pba commissioner if they will allow this under the table negotiations,  I agree that he deserves the payment he's demanding but they placed that cap so better to follow the rules.

Though I doubt, if TNT will continue trying maybe they'll just come up with something to announce if ever Mikey will play for them again, we know how things works inside this league,  just need and wait on any progress that will be announced.

We cannot accuse anyone without having a proof and until no evidence shown those statement will remain assumptions. Although I heard some stories about it but we should not say thay this is true. What's important thing there and we should never believe on those streamers especially if we think they are engaging on suspicious activities like flexing their positive result. Although its fun to watch them but we should know how to do our own diligence to know what's better for us and we should gamble according to knowledge or skills that we acquired thru our experiences dealing on multiple casinos.
The job of influencers is quite obviously to influence us, and it is our job to not let them influence us to take decisions that are not favorable to us, and as long as we remain vigilant, this should be reasonably easy to do, since people like us already have a lot of experience that we have accumulated over the years, so as long as we are critical of the content we watch, we may catch any inconsistency on the claims of those influencers and know whether their words can be trusted in a matter of minutes thanks to that experience.

Logically right, even there are many influencers around, it's in your hands to make a decision though for some people they've been attracted with how influencers provides videos or information on how they are doing well with the service or product that they are promoting, it's on your own decision making whether to try following or just explore with your own strategy and process.

They being paid to make good reviews and to attract followers to use or buy services and products it's for the money and they will do everything to make it attractable and connects more people for the best outcome on their shares, either referrals or money making ads.

They have a different thought towards gambling and whether you remind them or not for several times and they won't listen, that's already their fault when they become too much with gambling. The idea comes from the thought of chasing their losses and no one is there to understand them because it is their money that they've been chasing and no one will help them to take that money back but only them. Not until they realize that it is going nowhere and they're incurring more losses instead of recovery.
Everyone has different thoughts about gambling and more so for individual customers, however much we remind them that gambling will not be able to provide consistent profits. But for them this is not a problem because they have been influenced by something much bigger in gambling. Chasing defeat until you win can have an impact on subsequent losses because gambling prioritizes luck. What percentage of people manage to recover losses in gambling and are hardly much larger than subsequent losses.

Gambling can be handled differently for people who are just having fun than for people who are addicted. But it will be much more difficult for those who are addicted because they are unable to manage a budget for gambling. There is no way to recover losses in gambling and I think it is very difficult to get lucky streaks in gambling.

There's a big problem for a gambler that already engage that deep into gambling, addiction bring him not to think about any financial responsibilities, he just go all in thinking that he may satisfied his lust and desire on gambling but he will keep losing money as there's no control on him anymore, that's the sad part when you fall into addiction instead of having some fun you'll find yourself engaging and not to put any limitation, you'll keep chasing for your losses and keep adding more money in your bankroll.

Though, I also see your point for those who are just playing to kill some time and to enjoy the pleasure of gambling especially to those who have their limit budget and not exceeding, they just enjoy without any pressure to recover anything after playing.
