What's undeniable is that even students now have their own cell phones. With online gambling now so widespread, advertised, and easily accessible, it's no surprise that many students are aware of and even enjoy gambling. Winning or losing can still lead to further interest in gambling, leading to addiction. This can't be hidden; it's a reality.
Yes, younger generations are now connected to the internet 24/7. Most older people grew up without phones or the internet being available all the time, as in you had to "go online" once you went home... Reality now is completely different to how it was before. Many people are basically living online, and their "offline" persona is just very lonely and in bad shape. Sad true, they can use their devices to maximize the use of online services, as we knew gambling is everywhere so each students who have full access with their mobile devices can easily play everytime they wish to please their desire and lust for gambling, if parents and guardians failed to monitor the activities of their children it can lead those young mind into addiction defending to how deep the engagement take place. |

That's right, if we have little to nothing to lose when we gamble, it's almost impossible for anxiety to set it. Yes, it's true that humans tend to feel nervous and anxious when things aren't really going the way they expected them to and this is just a feeling that is very natural, but when we take too much risk, the anxiety can increase drastically and maybe even to the point where we can't be able to control or stop ourselves from making impulsive decisions that may most likely inflict more damage or losses to us.
Yes, I think what you said is correct. It means that when we start losing, anxiety works a lot in us. Then we have no control over ourselves. I have also seen that if I lose a few games in a row, then I bet more and whatever happens in the day, my balance becomes zero. When we gamble with money that we cannot make an effort, our anxiety works more. Because then if we lose, we have to bet more to recover our losses. at the end of the day the balance become zero..  Controlling over emotion if you failed to work it the right way it also triggerred your anxiety the feeling of having doubts that can lead you to a wrong decision making, it's better to play when you have a calm mind as you can move forward if ever that the outcome did not favor your side, you don't need to pressure yourself in trying to recover as most time, you'll end up losing more. |

We work to survive instead, the world today has shifted the work system from working to earn to working to survive, their is a very slim chance for one to move from one social strata to another, except one chooses to act broke while stacking up with investment, hence I do say that the world is never in the favour of the proletariat but only protect the interest of the bourgeoisie. I agree with you totally we should have that in mind that investment is the only thing that tends to save us but not us directly but our next generation will have to have better privileges to go further than being the ordinary proletariat.
Ah, that's true. I agree with you. Many people today work not to earn money but rather to survive. While everyone can invest to achieve comfort in their future, we must recognize that not everyone is interested in this. Furthermore, the path to success varies. Not everyone is successful in investing, as some people succeed in their own ways, such as through business or careers. Though there are working to survive but there are also working to please their wants, instead of taking care of what they need they are more into use their income to what they want that's why it's tough to them to save and invest, there are many different factors that affects the mentality of each individual but if you like to have comfortable life you need to maximize your outlet to earn and then save and adjust to what you need and not to overspend to what you want. |

Looks like we will be seeing him again in the PBA.. Slaughter in talks with Pureblends; another PBA team 'interested'A day after Greg Slaughter announced his intent to make a comeback in the PBA, his wish quickly moved one step closer to fruition.
Per multiple sources, initial talks between the Fil-American giant and Pureblends 'have already been done and that "an offer will be sent this coming week." this was posted 21 hrs ago, so we’ll probably know soon if he’ll fit with PureBlend or not since the season starts this coming sunday. would love to see his comeback, cause honestly he’s one of the few who can actually limit JMF, something none of the current PBA bigs can really do. I think this is automatic… if a player with that kind of height and can still play wants to return to the PBA, he’ll easily get a slot, especially with a team that doesn’t have much talent. there was even a report back in 2021 that he got traded to Northport from Ginebra for C. stand, so it’s not like he’s new to the team. there’s definitely a chance he could make a comeback. Barangay Ginebra trades Greg Slaughter to NorthPort for Christian StandhardingerIn terms of height I guess I will agree with your statement though in terms of Greg with those previous injuries and he's no longer in his prime there's no easy access to get a slot with very known team, luckily Pureblend needs big man and they are introducing their franchise so budget might be enough and in terms of squad having him inside thats still intimidating and for sure he can still add something decent if system will rotate for him in the offensive side,. |

When it comes with playing gambling you are decided already to take the risk, when it comes you deposited your money to the casino and make a sit to the table you must need to prepare already yourself because its not all about the fun anymore if you will take this seriously its all about the winnings with the use of your knowledge and skills how to beat the game or win against your opponents. Every move you decide there's an consequences and result with this its either you will win or you will get torn between with your decision so make a risk every inch of your move its all about your gains at the end of the day.
Given that gambling carries clear risks, it's clear that when we deposit money, we must be prepared to face those risks. Some people who are unprepared for the potential for loss (risk) experience unnatural reactions, such as a desire to chase wins, which leads them to undisciplined gambling, completely ignoring the risks, even after experiencing repeated losses. Risk, in this case, is something that cannot be avoided, and losses are the risk, with other negative impacts being the consequences of excessive behavior. Acceptance will help to move forward, with that kind of mindset it won't be hard to let go the amount that you lose, even how high it is knowing that you are inside gambling in risk is always behind, one factor that will lead you to the right path is knowing your bounderies and accepting the outcome with your self-will then reassess after taking that break to make sure that you can handle that aggressive reactions inside. |

As we know before now, big wins are even on levels, while it all depends on their own policies for doing that, if it permits for an instant release from one range to another, then we may not be able to have withdrawals done immediately except we fall under the specified range, but all these are being done for security purposes and in other for some not to boycott their protocols.
That's correct. There's a range on how much the casino can process a withdrawal. The limit will depend on the KYC of the gambler and also on how much they can avail. Let's say a player won millions in their currency in, let's say an online lottery. It will not be given immediately because there are certain rules that the online casino must follow. I have not experienced it yet. My largest was x23000 in slots, and I was able to withdraw it all because it's a small amount of money in our currency. I agree to this, if the amount of winning is still in the place where KYC permits the player to request for withdrawal possible that it can be instant not unless there's security that being triggered might be delayed for some other verification, but if the amount is by far from the allowable amount to transfer there's a big chance that it will be process for an additional kyc verifications, though still on how the casino handles certain situation. |

Masgugustuhin ko pa sa global exchange okx or Binance or kahit bitget ko na lang ipadala yung usdc kung galing man ako abroad atleast sila maraming option ipapalit sya sa fiat kung via gcash or bank account.
Pero kung sa mga ordinary Pinoy na gagamitin lang for remittance, medyo mahirap pa rin sila sa Binance at iba pang exchanges. Since hindi naman registered yung mga exchanges na yan, meron pa rin trust issue lalo na kung simple transfer lang ang habol nila para makatipid sa fees. Sana ayusin na lang ng gcash yung system nila para hindi na lagi nagla-lag. Kung magiging maayos sa palagay ko tatangkilikin ng mga ofw yan lalo na ung mga nakakaalam na rin ng crypto, maganda kasi na kilalang stable na kumpanya ang gcash lalo na dito sa bansa natin, kung pwede ka na magtransfer ng diretso siguro naman mas katiwatiwala para sa mga hindi ganun kasapat ang kaalaman na papadalhan ng pera, gcash eh isang magandang pagdadaanan ng pera nila galing sa mga kamag anak sa abroad. |

This is another side of the story.
Most people lose because of greed, and the number of scams has been increasing lately because of that. The scammers reach general people via WhatsApp and Telegram and offer freelancing jobs, and people fall for these tricks. I have been seeing many cases on Facebook lately where dozens of people invested millions of Taka, and they got scammed in the end. I mostly blame those people who think earning online is easy and invest without thinking about anything. Unfortunately, people do not learn from others mistake and they want to experience it themself, which is why they still invest and then get scammed. This is bullshit.
The story you told here is a scam involving the traditional fiat currency and yes, in this too, people fall into the trap out of greed and later face losses. However, people facing scams and losses due to greed are increasingly happening in this crypto space, where most people, driven by greed, expect unrealistic amounts of profit that are actually unreasonable, and in most cases, you will see that these types of people who always expect unrealistic profits are the ones who end up losing. And even those who already have their own experienced still being victimize by scammers and yes it's because of greed, they knew all along but they tend to ride with the train and all of the sudden they also become the victim, also a reason why you need to have other sources of income since if you failed to bring good judgements with your previous trades there's no way that you may survive, you need to have backup plans and additional investment together with deeper engagements and study to enhance your skills. |

Once the risk is moderate and is in check, you are doing it responsibly. They say take risks, but take the one that will put you in a tight situation. If the risk is too risky, you avoid it. Gambling is not risky when you place bets with amounts you are comfortable with; it starts to be risky the moment you start to place bets on high-risk games with higher amounts above your regular wager limit.
You mean not taking the kind of risk that will put the person in a tight situation, I guess? You are right, if someone takes a heavy risk that will cause him a lot when they lose the money, then it's up to them. You already said all, gambling can be a risk of losing or winning money but the risk is reduced for a player that is gambling with a small amount that they can afford to lose. Indeed, an amount that a gambler can easily let go compared to a huge amount that will be regret once you mistakenly lose everything, taking responsibility means that you can have that hard stop when its needed and you know how to follow what you have set as limit before starting your game, taking risk with a good discipline that may allow you to enjoy and not to suffer when the outcome turned against you. |

Opening night for the 50th PBA CUP will be on October 5, 2025.
A classic match not just between MAGNOLIA vs GINEBRA! it is the old pals with TENORIO vs TIM CONE as head coach.
12 confirmed teams!
Yeah, interesting to see how LA Tenorio would fare against his old coach on the drawing board. We knew that coach Tim Cone is a brilliant tactician but who knows, coach LA could steal the opening game. Wonder if this could be an import laden conference they will be playing come October 5, anyone knows? I want to see how coach LA upgrade the triangle or if he got something that will excite the fans, knowing how coach tim materialize with the system might be possible that coach LA got something to offer addition or another approach on how to execute the system. On that note, I also don't see any involve imports since the photoshots are being held I don't see any news about bringing imports to this upcoming season. |

But the problem is the uncontrolled situation that leads you into addiction, most of the time, the common thing in each gambler is lacking of will to stop, instead they all wanted to push as they think trying again will let them succeed from the intention that they wanted to achieve while playing/betting.
Gambling without having a budget can make a gambler not to think about stopping, if you're gambling without setting up a bankroll or making a budget you will be gambling continuously as you will be making steady deposit. This set of gamblers can only stop when they must have gambled with thier whole savings. When you set a budget you will always know when to stop and Walk away, so is obvious that those gamblers who are lacking the will to stop don't make a proper budget I'm not even sure if they set a bankroll, they're just gambling with thier savings. Yes, you are right, it is better to gamble by setting a budget and not being addicted to gambling. Because when a person is addicted to gambling, he will want to gamble no matter what. If he does not have money, he will want to gamble even if he takes a loan to gamble. If a person gambles by setting a budget, he will never face problems due to financial crisis or losing extra money. For example, many times it is seen that many people gamble with more money than their budget, due to which they get into financial crisis and trouble. So it is always better to gamble by setting a budget. For example, if you set your budget for a month and lose this amount of money, then you will not gamble with this money and in this way you can set a budget above the money you have earned by gambling. That's the best way to treat your gambling activities, set your budget and not to allow yourself to exceed, though like what you mentioned the gambler who can't control or don't have any limitation might lead themselves into addiction, and without any control they'll find themselves losing a lot, such amount that they can't afford to let go. Gambler who mismanage their finances mostly become addicted, and that's the common on each gambler who unable to control and limit their gambling participation. |

You need to learn out from the experienced and use it as basis for your future decision making, most of those gamblers who failed to understand the potential risk of keep pointing their mistake to other people or to the platform that they are using, they are prone in making more mistakes and more incorrect decision making, most of them ends up getting addicted and have that difficulty to move forward and balance their gambling participation.
That is why the topic of the issue is so accurate, you have to be man enough to accept your mistakes , and that is how it should be, not Only in the game but in life , those who are capable of being people who accept their mistakes are good men and are better people , in the end it is also a matter of Culture. More on how you can handle the pressure, being responsible and having that kind of mentality where you can make that hard decision to stop when it's needed to stop, blaming someone is not an option but an excuse better to accept and not to point finger as it gave an easy passage to quit and momentarily stop to reassess yourself. It's your own will to carry the full responsbility and not to blame anyone whenever you put yourself inside casino. |

I haven't seen the latest video of Zion, but I will tend to agree that he might have reach his desired weight already so no need to go down anymore as this is his fighting weight already. But in any case, it won't prevent him from getting injured. Just like in the case of Kawhi, wherein there was image of him having a huge and massive lower to compensate or help him not get injured.
But still though in the last season he still suffered it. I guess there are NBA body that might not really build for long term. We've seen that on Greg Ogden or even a prime Brandon Roy wherein their knees cannot hold even if they have been operated.
With his intense way of playing there's always a chance that he might fall and get another injury but giving him that time frame where he and his camp work with his health/diet, hoping to see something decent that may change the fate not only by him but more with the team's future, knowing his impact if he's playing healthy. Adjustment from him and the management may lead him to lessen the chance of getting injured, more on how the coach will use him and the role that will be assign to him. |

Even if the chances of losses is just 2% then it can indeed be considered to be gambling, except of course for some reason the odds of winning is 100/0% then we can say it’s not really gambling. What makes people call an event gambling is the odds of winning and losing, regardless of what those odds are, for some games, the odds of winning are more and for some, the odds of losing are way more and that’s just the nature of gambling.
Yeah, and still upset can happen even in that small chance of losing gambling is a risky venue where assurance is not possible, unless there's inside job or manipulation that already been set up for a sure win. As there's no sure deal like mentioned until the game is not done there's still chance that you my lose your pick, you can only conclude once the game has been decided. |

The government will always look for ways to take our freedom especially in strict countries where their is heavy corruption so that the citizens do not go as far as tarnishing or exposing their wicked agenda embezzling funds that are meant for public amenities. If the government chooses to ban gambling or make the citizens uncomfortable when their are no jobs or work people will do to survive, this will lead to more struggles and ways to earn a living through different illegal means and those that choose to gamble will do that using different tools that will limit their presence on casinos.
That's the thing, when gambler already engage to this venue even how hard it is for them they will always find ways to continue, they can resort to any alternative ways that they can do to keep playing, it just adding pressure but the reality, gambler will look behind that restriction and will take chances to use available options to play and to continue their gambling activities and participations. The government can only try to stop us from gambling but they cannot make us stop gambling. Sometimes they create selfish laws so players will not have access to those websites that can give them luck to earn more from the Internet. They will ban crypto, ban gambling, ban social media and the rest and still want their citizens to live well. People are trying their best to make money from crypto betting and it is easy because you don't need to have a skill before you can gamble. All you need is to know those games that can be a luck for you to make money from betting. Yup, they can do whatever that permits their power but in terms of making a person to stop completely, that's not going to happen, a person who have the desire to gamble will always find his ways, especially this modern days where internet access makes it much easier to find alternative options and make you hide your identity and your locations, those kinds of practices can make a gambler continue without any traces, and regarding to risk, a gambler who have a strong desire will take that risk just to continue playing. |

For sure, if you follow the NBA meme pages, you’ve probably seen the image of Zion Williamson looking much slimmer in your newsfeed.
I’m not sure if it’s legit, but if it is then Zion could be a monster this season. It’s time for him to prove his worth and pay back what the Pelicans invested in him.
Zion is a great player, but we all know his injuries have held him back and his weight has been a big factor in that. Hopefully, the image circulating online is real.
Yeah I saw one not sure if it's legit as it shows that it was a post from Ja' Morant stating that Zion is no the captain of Pelicans, though like what you said, if that's for real if he managed to make kind of diet hopefully yes, crossing my fingers hahah, but if it's true then that's going to be exciting knowing how electrifying Zion whenever he's dunking the ball, let's see if he'll be able to complete the season or if how many games he'll be able to play to help his team. |

Not by far as we know PBA is a business they don't need loyalty, if you are no longer usable then it's time for you to go. I agree with Lee and Barroca especially Lee since he's prone to injury and his value still decent, if ever they'll release him that's good cap that they'll going to unload and possibly acquired either another superstar or role players that will be useful to them.
I have seen a post on social media that James Yap and Christian Standhardinger are going to play for Magnolia. I think the team had a plan to formally retire James Yap's jersey to the team he help win a grand slam but for CStand, they need his services as they are undermanned at the moment with the leaving of Will Navarro. I hope that this rumor is true so that we can see again these players play in the PBA. Yup, if they'll be able to sign CStand it will be a big help to them, I also read that they also planning to sign tr7 not sure if how or if that's going to happen, the new season is about to start we will see movements of players while waiting for the actual kickoff, hoping to see more improvements from each teams especially those independent teams which is not controlled by either SMC or MVP. |

If gambling is banned in your country, is there a punishment for anyone caught gambling? If that is the case, how do you circumvent the law or you don't gamble at all? Well, I can feel the burden for you guys over there, unlike here that we are free to do whatever we want with our money, no restriction whatsoever.
There will always be ways to evade it. When a government interferes with people's lives and their pockets, believe me, they won't win that war, People will always find ways to outwit them I imagine there will be punishments, but even then, people will lose their fear. I say this from my own experience. The government will always look for ways to take our freedom especially in strict countries where their is heavy corruption so that the citizens do not go as far as tarnishing or exposing their wicked agenda embezzling funds that are meant for public amenities. If the government chooses to ban gambling or make the citizens uncomfortable when their are no jobs or work people will do to survive, this will lead to more struggles and ways to earn a living through different illegal means and those that choose to gamble will do that using different tools that will limit their presence on casinos. That's the thing, when gambler already engage to this venue even how hard it is for them they will always find ways to continue, they can resort to any alternative ways that they can do to keep playing, it just adding pressure but the reality, gambler will look behind that restriction and will take chances to use available options to play and to continue their gambling activities and participations. |

If you bet more than you win, there's a problem. It means you're exceeding limits that you should be clear about, so that it's a healthy gambling system. This should be the standard phrase for every gambler: "Don't bet more money than you can afford to lose."
If you follow the rules from the beginning and have your limits clear, I'm sure you won't fall, or it will be very difficult for you to fall, into this type of behavior.
There is a problem when you bet more than you earn and more than you win. It's inappropriate at all when you do that because what you must do is to balance all of the money that comes in and out from your pocket. Whether it's from your salary, investments, wins or any other source of yours. While following it sometimes is hard when you get emotional, but you have to fight for it because if you don't, you can lose everything. You need to discipline yourself at all times, spending more than what you earned means exceeding on the supposed balance or budget that you allocated for your gambling, that kind of unbalanced emotions may lead you to a tough position, better to make sure that you fully understand the risk and you know how to balance both your time and finances to avoid regretting your mistakes from a bad decision that you made. Whenever a person spends more than his income, that is the time when he will start facing various problems. We should be careful while gambling so that gambling does not become completely intertwined with our life. I have seen many people before who sold their money and assets to gamble and lost all their money in gambling and became destitute. Therefore, we should not do anything that will destroy all our deposited money. Yeah, a mistake that will forever be a regret if we misshandled our gambling participation, there are so many real life stories of those gamblers who at first treat things as past time and for entertainment but because of longer time frame playing, they become addicted and the adrenaline and aggressions to play more drives them to over spend their savings then ends up losing everything that they've got, better to keep yourself away from heavy gamings and just use spare such amount that you can afford to let go. |
