You just did a great job not lending your cousin.
If you feel that he/she will not pay you in the future then what's the reason why you lend money to him/her. Trust hasn't been there. It's like those banks where if you have a low credit score, they see you as untrustworthy therefore, they will not let you borrow.

Lucky for me, I didn't encounter that kind of scenario as well. Maybe because I'm good at keeping my assets, and I'm not sharing anything that's related to my money to anybody here (even to my own family Cheesy). Don't get affected if he doesn't talk to you anymore because after all, you see him as an untrustworthy person. If you are affected that much because of your decision, you can try and approach him and lend him a few dollars to at least build the trust.

We have an exciting game to watch and bet on tomorrow. I see this as a potential championship matchup between the Bucks and the Nuggets. The Nuggets are favored by -2.5 points at home, and they are probably the public favorite in this game.

What do you think, is it right to bet on the home team or should we continue to back the Bucks, who have been so dominant in their past few games?
It ended with the Nuggets blowing out the 76ers with a 3rd quarter comeback. 34 against 19 points in that quarter. The game was so intense, three Bucks players were called for technical fouls. Giannis, Bobby, and Lopez. They didn't like how the referees are officiating the game, especially with Giannis always attacking the paint with no fouls being called. While on the other hand, Jokic had their attention which resulted in 10 of 11 in the stripe.
Don't forget the poster made by Jeff Green against Giannis. He's a 36-year old veteran, but with a verticality of a 20-year old guy.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Be-mh7V3qIA
Giannis lead his team with 31 points while 3 of their starters scored the exact same number of points with 13 (which is kind of unique, and weird at the same time). Anyway, these referees are becoming worse and worse. Hmm what's happening with them.


Clippers vs Pels - I'll go with the Clippers at home here, -4.5 @1.88

It's too bad that the Clippers lost again. They certainly miss the services of Paul George, and Leonard struggled with only 12 points due to a poor shooting night. I hope Paul George can return soon so that this team can be competitive in the playoffs. Right now, I don't trust the Clippers, so I'll choose to bet on other teams instead, especially the Warriors, who have been impressive at home
Kawhi is having a bad night scoring only 12 points with 4/16 on the field. Other players helped offensively as well, but the combination of Ingram, Murphy III, and McCollum is just too much for them scoring 85 of the total 130 points.

Clippers not having PG is a bad thing, but I guess they have enough players to retain that 5th spot or even 4th spot depending on their matches. They have role players like Gordon, Hyland, Mann, Plumlee and others. I think that the Warriors have a chance to get that 4th spot because they will be playing 3 straight games on their home, and we know how good they are on their home.

Recently, a Uganda pastor who won 100million shillings decided to shut down his ministry. This left me with several questions in my head, such as ' Do religious leaders gamble? Is it right for religious leaders to gamble? Knowing fully well that most of them preach against gambling in their religious places. What is the ethical and moral implications of gambling, particularly in the context of religious practices and beliefs?

Well, priests are human and some even have sex despite being forbidden to do so (although depending on the type of church, not all are forbidden to do so), so I am not surprised that they gamble. In this case, given that he was betting and after winning that amount he has decided to shut down the ministry, it seems to me that he is going to indulge in earthly pleasures for a while.


Well, no surprises at all because like you said, pastors are also humans and they aren't Gods who aren't doing anything wrong. They're humans as well that also making mistakes so TBH, I didn't surprised at all. What I'm surprised with is the fact that he confessed, and didn't lie at all. I mean for a pastor to go gamble and luckily won, he might lie unto it, but he confessed and really said it to public which is a good thing.

I've also seen news here in our country regarding a priest having an affair with a teen that is on their singing choir, but eventually got arrested. I also saw a priest here in our place making fights with an opposite party because of elections.

Bitcoin doesn't need to be a global currency like Dollar. Bitcoin isn't the same as Dollar because Dollar is the currency of US and all of the countries just agreed for it to be the world's accepted currency. As for Bitcoin, it might not been accepted globally because only few are using it still, but people can just use it.

TBH, any item or thing that has value can be traded for whatever it is as long as both parties agreed to it. You can exchange your house and lot into a Lamborghini car. You can exchange you 100-year old jar into Bitcoin if both agrees. I mean Bitcoin doesn't need to be a world currency, but it will be used as an alternative way of buying things either online or in person (whenever you buy). I'm not expecting this kind of thing to happen as well.

However, I'm not sure why Trae Young just played 14 minutes? did he got himself injured in this game?

Trae got ejected in the third quarter because he threw the ball "to hard" to the ref, haha. How this in enough to through a player out I don't understand, these refs are getting more and more like a Karen.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dXqZt5moRE

Something has to change I think.
The referees are becoming more and more sensitive nowadays TBH.

Player screams on their teammate because of wrong plays, they give him a technical. Player shows some gestures, or actions that's against the referees, they will get a technical or worse pay fines. Player will rant against their wrongdoings, they get fined. I did watch that video, and I think there's too much force on that throw, and maybe the referee close to where he threw the ball got hit (didn't see in the video) that's why he was ejected. However, being ejected just because of that was too much. I mean the referee can just give a technical to Young, but instead the referee ejected. Referees really are becoming more sensitive right now.

Well, it's a good thing that the Hawks still won that game despite Young not playing.

Do you think that meme coins still have a chance to do well in the next bull market? Would you still invest on projects like shiba inu and floki inu.
Yes, but only those at the top like DOGE and SHIB.
The other meme coins? There might be a chance that some of the bottom meme coins might go up as well because it's a bull market, and most if not all of the coins are going up. Even the shitcoins are going up.

Floki Inu? Heard that coin once, and once advertised by Elon Musk as well, but I don't think that it's a good coin to invest at first place. TBH, there might be a chance that we might see another version of memecoins emerging during a bull market. I mean we've seen new types of memecoins or shitcoins back a few years ago when it was hyped. We've seen memecoins with lots of burning mechanism, memecoins with lot's of supply, but it turns out they will just burn it until no token is left.

Overall, memecoins are still a good coin to invest, but not a good mid to long term investment at all. Even the top memecoin, DOGE isn't a good long term coin to hold because of it's feature of it being inflationary.

Someone contacted me today that she needed bitcoin, I quickly search for bitcoin vendors, God so kind a friend of mine introduced me where I can get it easily. Those vendors have refers benefits, whoever bring client will always get 1% of whatever units of bitcoin the client will purchases.

I go extra miles to verify the authenticity of those vendors without telling the woman to avoid trouble or scam threat. But at the end the woman bought 10% of the current price and she later call me that she loves transparent people I should send my account details and she bless me with 50k my local currency plus vendors refers benefits of 10k. Lol, this amount is called small is beautiful.

I have a total of $100 and I quickly used it to invest in bitcoin, the money is amicabily disappearing. Lol. Is God not good?
Short and concise I must say.
However, I'm curious on how did a woman contacted you out of nowhere? Is it possible that you are offering your services online already, and you're kind of trustworthy to the eyes of that woman thus, he made you as a midman on his transaction.

At least tell where did that woman contacted you, or how did she contacted you. It's impossible that a random stranger out of nowhere will just hire you as a midman, but anyhow, being rewarded for the work you've done is considered a good thing. It's good that you invested it immediately into Bitcoin as well instead of spending it to some useless things. I just hope that you will continue investing into Bitcoin, and not just hoping that you're $100 investment into Bitcoin will become a 6-digit price in the future. Cheesy
1568  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: March 25, 2023, 03:14:24 PM
Damn Joel Embiid went to the stripe 22 times, that's more that the total score made by Klay Thompson.  Cheesy
Looney had a hard time stopping that big muscle of his but somehow the Warriors took advantage of the time when he was benched. I guess that's what is missing with the 76ers, the deep bench while the Warriors do have a system where even the bench players can contribute while their stars are resting.
That's what Embiid is good at as well.
His footwork is better than most of the bigs out there, but at the same time, he is also good at drawing fouls. No wonder why he is now the current leading in the MVP race, and TBH, he might spoil the 3rd straight MVP of Jokic, and if that happens, Embiid really deserves it. I just hope that how he is playing on regular season will be the same when they are in the playoffs, because he's playing on an MVP level, but he didn't even reach the Conference Finals yet.

Let's just hope that Poole will be playing like this all throughout the playoffs, or at least most of the playoff games, or they don't have a chance to defend their title.
Consistency had always been the problem for Poole and then the mistakes. It's getting lesser so Steve Kerr might be a little happy now.
A little you say. Cheesy Well, I guess yes, and knowing that they will play 3 more games on their home, Kerr will be happier if he will see Poole being consistent in their next 3 games.

Enough of Meralco Vs. Ginebra series. I want to see a different team/s playing in the PBA Finals. We want to see other teams having an opportunity playing in the PBA Finals. If Ginebra will go to PBA Finals again (like always as long as there's an import), I want TNT to be their opponent.

Most likely Ginebra will go against TNT on the finals. They are the only team remaining that can match TNT toe-to-toe. Even though we want to see other teams to go to the finals, we cannot control the fact that they are the strongest team right now.
It must be.

People want changes, and there is a high chance that Ginebra will "again" go in the PBA Finals (more revenue). Fans want Ginebra to face other team aside from Meralco in the Finals because they know already that the Bolts will not win against Ginebra in the Finals. What if there's a plot twist to this one? What if for some reasons, SMB will defeat Ginebra and they will face TNT in the PBA Finals? Cheesy I mean it isn't impossible knowing that SMB is also a strong team, and if that happens, we might see Fajardo playing as well.

There has been a significant change in the odds for the TNT vs Meralco game. Initially, TNT was favored by only -3.5 points, but due to their blowout win, the odds have moved slightly. I am now enticed to bet on TNT as I believe they will win by double digits.
With that convincing win, I think that the TNT will cover that -5.5 spread (currently in Stake).

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson is still undefeated since he went on as the import of the TNT. He isn't a prolific scorer like other imports, but it's good to see other TNT local players helping him offensively. He isn't like Franklin, or Jordan Williams, or Hudson who is scoring more than 30 or even 40, but he's an all around player. He can shoot, but at the same time he can also play inside the paint and knows how to pass as well. I think this will go 2-0 favoring the TNT.

GG between 76ers and Golden state warriors, Jordan Poole also had to step up a lot today in order to assist the Splash bros, he was the warriors highest points scorers tonight 33 points and 6/11 from deep, warriors are now pulling clear from the play-in tournament, they should be able move up to as high as the 4th position, if they're able to remain consistent down the stretch and not lose another important player on their roster to injury.
Let's just hope that Poole will be playing like this all throughout the playoffs, or at least most of the playoff games, or they don't have a chance to defend their title.

Both Curry and Thompson is a stress for their opposing team already, but what if they had another player who can shot, and as efficient as both of them. Poole has been inconsistent all throughout the season, but when he erupts, it really is a big help for the whole team. They won the first out of their four home games, and looking at their opponents in that 4 games, the Sixers are the hardest one to defeat with, and with this win, I guess the Warriors can easily win against the Timberwolves, Pelicans and Spurs on their home, but still everything can happen. It's just that the Warriors are playing really well on their home.

Anyway, I would love to see Splash Brothers + Poole Party raining threes on the playoffs. Cheesy

Mali ako dun. Akala ko sa IMENA nila balak ilagay pero parang sa NA ata. Sa ngayon wala nang kasunod yung rumor na yun so baka hindi din mag-materialize pero depende sa mga mangyayari. Yung mga kasama rin niya dati noon sa WERJ naglalaro na ata ng ROX.

Regarding peacefulness, lahat pala ng servers dito sa buong NA Region (NA1 & NA2) ay hawak na ng DTM, maliban lang dun sa NA77 kung saan pumasok ang PHA at nakuha ang Castle noong nakaraan lang. Pakiramdam ko hawak ng buong DTM ang NA pero mayroon pa ring mga players dun na kumakalaban sa kanila so hindi ko masasabing peaceful pa rin dahil may mga kalaban pa rin sila. Sadyang di lang nila kayang paalisin ang DTM.

Sabuk War. Maganda ito dahil labanan ito ng mga pinakamalakas sa pinakamalakas sa buong region. Hindi ko na sasabihin yung buong detalye dahil may video na rin naman na ginawa ang Wemade para dito.

Luka's money sign to the referee have resulted for him to be fined with $35,000. Yeah, that's not a much for him and that's too little compare to the other fines that we're seeing for the other players.

Here's the article: Luka Dončić fined $35K by NBA for money gesture toward official during controversial Mavericks-Warriors game

This is too little for the chunk of the salary that he's getting.
Vanvleet's comments regarding a referee during an interview is way harsher than this one. Well, he got fined after that rant, but at least he said the truth.

Vanvleet did it. Luka did it. I expect more of this in the future where players will express their feelings towards the referees thru rant's or gestures like both of them did. As for Luka's actions, I think there is a reason why he did that, and for him it's pretty obvious, and I might agree with him as well, but at the end of the day, referee's calls will not change. I wonder what Scott Foster is doing while seeing these referees doing wrong calls. Cheesy

It was also a good win by the Warriors, although they are the favorite since it's in their homecourt and usually they play very good at Chase center. But they have a difficult time containing the big men in Joel Embiid, which I thought is not going to play and take a rest.
Splash Brother + Poole Party for the win. Cheesy All 3 of them scored 83 of the total 120 points with a combined 3-pt shooting of 14-31.

It was a close one TBH, until the final minute, but the three of Poole in the corner sealed the deal for the victory. They spoiled Embiid's 46 point performance, but I'm worried because they can't stop him. Even Looney who is their tallest guy on the Warriors team can't even stop him. For the Warriors to be a playoff contender, or if they want to repeat their title, at least they need to be better in terms of defense. I just hope that Wiggins and GPII will return when playoff comes.
1573  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Pastor Shuts Down His Church After Winning About $140,000 In Sports Betting.. on: March 25, 2023, 07:35:43 AM
The church members came for their normal weekly services and were shocked to discovered that the entire place were locked, and the pastor no where to be found, the pastor was later contacted, and he confessed that he become a pastor out of greed and not because God called him ...
~
The above affirms to the fact that many, are into what they do, not because they love it, or because its their calling, but because of the money they get to make from it, just imagine how many years this pastor have deceived his church members into believing he was genuinely called by God to serve as a pastor..
Well, at least he didn't last when they asked him his whereabouts, and instead confessed everything. He admitted his wrongdoings. 

Kidding aside, it's kind of funny and scary how he really deceived his church members to the point that he got money from them just to have funds to be used into gambling. I guess he's lucky that he won that huge amount, and because of that he stopped doing deceiving other people. I guess it's good for the members, and because of that, the pastor stopped fooling them.

Now my question is, As a business or as a career person who is also into gambling/betting, would you quit your current business or career if you won the same amount of money from gambling/betting?
Be sincere and state your reasons for your decision..
I don't think so.

I mean I love what I'm doing, and I still didn't achieved my goals yet so even though I will win the same amount of money, I will not stop what I'm doing. I will just invest that money. I will just use that money to work for me, and get passive income.
1574  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: March 24, 2023, 03:21:36 PM
You can't blame the kid because after all, he saw all the flaws of these referees have. He saw all of the mistakes all of these referees are making, and sometimes, it causes them the game. These wrong calls sometimes make them lose. Though like you, I also like to see the old Luka who isn't complaining, but can't blame him for his actions. It's just me though because I can understand the frustration sometimes.
I do understand the frustration but there are players who also attack the rim a lot of times and don't complain too much, he is just going too far now.
And, the game is being affected because of what he is doing, his lack of defense, concentration, and he is slowing down both their offensive and defensive runs. There's a right time for complaints and he must learn those, not when the game is still in motion.
Well, that's the downside of him being focusing more on complaining rather than just play after what happened.
Maybe that's also the reason why they are one of the worst teams right now in terms of defense. Anyway, I just hope that he will be matured enough to not complain again like what he's doing in his rookie season where he is just focusing on playing instead of complaining.

I think it is a wise decision for the Philadelphia 76ers to not force Embiid and Harden to travel against the Warriors. The Warriors are in a tight race in the western conference so they are expected to show their best on their home court and there is no need for the 76ers to risk its minor injured superstars in a possible hot game later. If there is a chance to make Harden and Embiid 100 healthy with a little rest then they might do it as they are already looking forward to the coming playoffs. Apart from that, the 76ers will have no rest day as well since after their travel to San Francisco, they are headed next to Phoenix which maybe be easier for them to focus.
Anyway, the Sixers are still 3.5 games above the 4th seeded Cavaliers so this one lose from the Warriors will not affect them that much so... I guess it really is a good decision for the Sixers not to push Embiid and Harden knowing that there are only a few games remaining until the regular season ends. After all, the Warriors are playing very well on their home, and they needed wins for them to have a good spot in the playoffs.

Like what the Sixers did, I expect also those top teams currently to either sit down their key players or limit their playing time to reduce the chances of them getting injured. Maybe the Bucks will let Giannis sit for one to two games since they're 2.5 games above the 2nd seeded Celtics. The Nuggets might let Jokic and Murray sit down for a few games as well as they're 3.5 games above the 2nd seeded Grizzlies.

Can Meralco upset TNT? It's already guaranteed that it's going to be MVP vs. Cojuangco in the finals, but for TNT this season, I think they are really a very good team. They have great chemistry, and everyone plays well when on the floor, making them a hard team to beat.

It's the offense of TNT vs. the defense of Meralco. If Meralco can dictate the tempo, then we might see an upset.
Watching the game right TNT with a huge lead, too bad for Meralco because of too many turnovers and missed shots.
TNT is pretty dominant on this game, I'm expecting a close game here unfortunately its not looking good for Meralco. Too bad I placed a bet to Meralco going against the odds, well this is just a game 1 and Meralco have to do some magic here so they can at least have a win against TNT.
That's a big lead and a big statement from TNT, 30points lead in first game is something  you should not forget.
TNT is the top team for a reason and going against the odds is very risky, better luck next time mate and see if Meralco still have the chance to get a win here but I think TNT will not give it easily. If ever, TNT vs GINEBRA in the finals will be a blockbuster and this is what I'm looking forward to.
Enough of Meralco Vs. Ginebra series. I want to see a different team/s playing in the PBA Finals. We want to see other teams having an opportunity playing in the PBA Finals. If Ginebra will go to PBA Finals again (like always as long as there's an import), I want TNT to be their opponent.

That first game between the 2 has been a one-sided match I should say. A dominating win for the TNT. I don't think Meralco have the pieces to defeat TNT right now. I mean they're a star-studded team as well like SMB or Ginebra out there, so I predict that TNT will win on this series in 4 games. It was a collective effort for the TNT as 5 players scored in double digits lead by their import who has 22 points. Their import, Hollis-Jefferson really isn't a good three-point shooter as he isn't attempting that much, but he's a great one in terms of perimeter shooting.

^ An important game for them (the Lakers) tomorrow as they go up against the Oklahoma City Thunder, who they are tied with for the last play-in tournament spot along with the New Orleans Pelicans. The Lakers winning this game would give them a little separation and maybe take off a little of the pressure of not making the play-in tournament at least.
Indeed, it's going to be a tough game as OKC is also trying to secure their chance in the play-in tournament. The only advantage the Lakers have is their home court advantage because I believe OKC is the better team overall. I'm not sure, but I think I like to bet on the road team just to go against the public.
I would still follow the trend, although you are right that OKC is probably the better team. The Lakers have won most of their games at home, so we can expect them to play harder at home and try to beat OKC, who is their rival in the play-in qualification.

The current lineup of the Lakers is good enough to beat OKC, in my opinion.
The current 8th to 11th seeded teams in the West have all the same record with 36-37.
I've never seen the Western Conference standings to be as close as this one. I mean the only difference of the 4th seed to the 12th seed is only 3 games.

As for the Thunder and the Laker, all of their games is already a must win for them. The Lakers are currently on a 2 game winning streak and again, they will try to go to .500 because they tried twice and failed twice. TBH, the Lakers needed the slot more than the Thunder needed it. Many wants Lebron to play again in the playoffs, and for sure, many Laker fans wanted to see their team play in the playoffs or even in the play-in at least. A win for either 2 of these teams might put them to the 8th spot at least.

Like you, I believe that the Lakers will win on this one as well. Reaves is playing his best season currently, and they have the pieces to win on this one. TBH, I just don't know why they aren't still above .500 where in fact, their roster is already great and can compete against other playoff teams.

In trading the number one enemy is our self emotions, many trader loss because they can't control thier emotions and it really affects thier decision making and sometimes it will become a reason for the big loss, in crypto we cannot be free from different emotions because everytime market condition is changing and it is really a high volatility market, i think experienced had a very big role on decision making, is this a reason why most of the newbie loss is it because they don't have enough of experience?
The more experience you have, the better you control your emotions so to answer your question, it's yes.

When I was a newbie in trading, there was also a time where I got FOMO'ed, and because of that I lost a half of my capital. I learned from that mistake of mine, but that wasn't enough learnings from me because I did it again the second time. I got FOMO'ed again and lost more than half of my initial capital. From that, I learned from it because I already experienced losing in trading. Though I can't say that I'm not experiencing any losses in trading, I can say that currently, I'm profiting more than losing in trading, and I'm not doing the same mistakes that I did again.

Experience really is a huge thing when it comes to trading because from that, you will learn and you will adjust to it. If you made mistake, you will adjust base on what happened to you. You will not learn if you didn't experienced it. Maybe there are some traders who for some reasons, traded very well since they started, but most of the newbies really tend to lose their money as they start, and one reasons is their emotions.

I am wondering what the fate of projects like Volt inu, Baby Doge and other meme coins would have been if Elon Musk never supported Doge coin, would Shiba inu ever made it to top 20?
Meme coins in general doesn't have any use case at all... or I should say that DOGE has a use case while SHIB?? I don't know if there is any at all. SHIB just increases on it's rankings because of Elon Musk hyping it. Surprisingly, it stayed on the top in terms of market cap for an unknown reason.

What would have happen to meme coins? Will there ever be any if Elon never existed?
Most of the meme coins will die like what always happen.

They hype of memecoins was when Elon hyped DOGE and SHIB. After that, lots of memecoins emerged. Some are scam, some are just useless, worthless shitcoins. Some become deadcoins, and some have been abandoned by their developers. Anyway, even without Elon, DOGE has always been at the top for a long time already. It has been on the top 100 in terms of market cap.

Poverty will not and will never end.
Government's help has limitations. We can't all depend to the government. We need to do our thing as well in order for us to get out of poverty.

In my country i observed so many people doing rally and blame the government why the basic needs price rise and the salary is still very low and not enough for daily expenses, is this the effect of the Ukraine and russia war that makes the gas or crude oil so high at price and they pass the gas expenses to the product and it ends to very high price of the basic needs that make us very poor, I see government has a move to resolve the problem but many people are still blaming the government.
When people are having a hard time, there is this nature of a person where they are blaming somebody for what they've done themselves like in this case, the are blaming the government on why the price of basic needs are increasing. These people are also the people who don't know what is called "inflation", and what they know only is that, it's the government's fault as to why prices are increasing.

Some governments are doing their job to at least decrease the price of basic needs such as oil, gas, and food, but on the other hand, there are some things that it isn't controllable at all like inflation. If people want to go out of poverty, they must do something and don't rely it all to the government.

While going through multiple websites for my topic I found out that the online gambling industry has been growing rapidly. The growth has been significant as in 2021 the global online gambling industry size was recorded at $61.5 Billion, whereas it went up to $79.8 Billion in 2022. The rise as per my understanding is significant.
One factor here why online gambling industry has been growing rapidly is the fact that we had a pandemic.
Pandemic prevented those gamblers going out and go to a casino. Some of these gamblers really do want to spend their time gambling thus, they found a way, and they tried online gambling. Maybe some of those gamblers who are going on a casino preferred gambling online for various reasons. The rise is significant indeed, but if the pandemic didn't happen, I guess the growth will not be that huge.

~but my question is which one of these do you consider to be a game of skill or a game of chance?

  • Slots
  • Balckjack
  • Baccarat
  • Poker
   
Slots is pure chance I guess, Poker and Blackjack is both game of chance and skills because you need a bit of a luck in drawing the cards you need and you need skills or in this case experience so you will know what will you do. I don't know what Baccarat is, but I often hear it in some gamblers out there.
