And he has been criticized as well by many basketball analyst, leaving Nets and then the Warriors winning the championship? That could really hurt Durant inside that's why he wanted to leave and find a new team to win again. But time is running out, it will be hard to find a championship caliber team in exchange of him.

Actually Durant should not be surprise that the Warriors won a championship because the Warriors are already a championship team before he joined the team. He only made the Warriors better but they are still good even without him, as Draymond said, "we don't need you", he was right.

https://nba.nbcsports.com/2018/11/16/draymond-green-reportedly-told-kevin-durant-we-dont-need-you-we-won-without-you-leave/

This is the reason why Durant join the Warriors because he know that this is already a championship caliber team and he will get more higher chances to get a ring with them compare if he stays in OKC. Now its proven that he cannot lift up his team when he's on Brooklyn and this one indicate that they don't need Durant to win another championship.
Durant had a good season with OKC, if they only continue to build their team, they might become a championship team, but he took the shortcut, win a championship by joining a good team and leaving to prove that he does not need the Warriors, turns out he was wrong, so he cannot come back to the Warriors now. I cannot imagine what Green is thinking about him now.  Smiley
That trio in OKC should have been unstoppable but Durant was kinda in high regard for his talent, when in fact they were already a championship-caliber during that time when they made it to the NBA Finals in 2012. He's just an opportunist I'd say, when he sees that GSW lacks anymore the chance to get a ring, he forms another team in BKLYN and one source tells that he demanded lot of trade for that. It's a slap to his face, I'd say.

I almost forget they had a trio, are you referring to Serge Ibaka?

This guy has been a huge asset for the OKC but they could not really win a champion.
Of the big 3, only Westbrook has not won a championship.

Durant won as Warriors, while Ibaka won as Toronto Raptors.
You should have known it, it was James Harden and he was still 22 during that time so both of them got an early experience to be in the Finals but that seems to be a rare scenario nowadays. Westbrook seems to be too concern for his personal stats compare to what he can give to the team.

I think when you keep gambling using borrowed money it's like committing suicide because there is no guarantee you can get a profit from gambling, it's better if you still need money to gamble, then you work and look for money and as much money as possible you use it for gambling. Gambling is not based on debt or the like because when you lose you will lose and be depressed.
It is likely a suicidal attempt, it's a liability if it wouldn't make any profit unless it will turn the table and you hit a jackpot. It's good to gamble as long as you're not going all in and still thinking for yourself, the needs for everyday living and if you have family make sure it's intact until the day you've been compensated again.

7. Owners view crypto as an asset and are in it for the money
Quote
A majority of crypto owners (66%) primarily see cryptocurrency as a way to make money rather than send it — although it should be noted that over a third of them occasionally use their cryptocurrency as a means of payment.
This means they prefer it to be a store of value and 66% is quite high for a holder, the future is good. It seems a little bit disadvantage for me if it will not be used for payment purposes or other means but the crypto is becoming larger and storing Bitcoin was more likely the best choice rather than spend it, alts is there for that I guess for purchasing or other means of payment.

This game was not fun to watch, it should first game instead of Blackwater vs Phoenix IMO.

All the games of the DYIP are not fun to watch because you already know they will not win. This is a bonus for the gamblers because DYIP has not covered the spread even if the spread is very high, this team has probably lost its morale now that they are on 8 losing streaks.

1-against Blackwater lose by 37 points
2-against TNT loss by 28 points
3-against Ginebra lose by 24 points
4-against Phoenix lose by 23 points
5-against Magnolia lose by 21 points
6-against Northport lose by 14 points
7-against converged lose by 13 points
8-against NLEX lose by 3 points

source : https://pba.ph/recap

They should make a way in the next season to improve their roster or even get a good coaching staff, this is a total disaster to be honest and not fun to watch. If by chance you got a ticket to watch the game, it's almost as if you just wasted it. Kind of harsh to say but that's the reality, it's not even worth it if this is the game they'll show everytime they play.

Topic: Do you place your bet(s) as private or unlisted in the "public bets list"?

Why? Why not?

I personally don't hide it as long as it will not involve any sensitive information that may harm my own account. I haven't hide any bets in public since it's not that much they can get to anyway on  all of my accounts in online gambling. I think those whales probably needed it the most but for as shrimps, it won't matter I suppose.
1767  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do Anyone Think Luna Will Recover? on: July 08, 2022, 02:04:59 PM
In fact, I believe that LUNA is dead and it is almost impossible to gain the trust of investors again, after what happened to LUNA. Many investors
have been harmed and traumatized by LUNA. Instead of me being a victim a second time, I prefer to invest in other coins. Because there are still
many other coins that have more potential than LUNA. For me, trusting LUNA again has a very high risk.
They are dead, there are just people thinking it will still get there in its ATH once again, Binance was probably having a huge stash of these LUNA to dump on investors as well, we may never know the intention that they still support them but it's my wild guess.
1768  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do Anyone Think Luna Will Recover? on: July 08, 2022, 05:00:17 AM
Yes, I believe the Teraluna team will restore the conditions they are currently experiencing. and in this condition they don't just let go, but they are still trying to find a way out so that Teraluna can recover and be trusted by investors again. because of the current conditions, we know that not only terraluna has decreased but there are still many altcoins that are experiencing the same thing at this time, even though terraluna has a much lower percentage. and to recover takes time and the trust of investors.
Those who believes in them are those who want to minimize their losses and sell it again for a higher price. They already broken the trust  of a lot investors here and a lot has already lost confidence in them. We know that since it's ba bear market but what happened to LUNA was far more worse than a bear market and you better know the difference in it.

What a great subject! "The History Of Gambling" Grin

I would absolutely love to see proof that our cave-dwelling ancestors had gambling games with rocks, sticks and bones. I doubt there is a way to actually find out the oldest gambling games of humans /early humans though. We cannot even seem to find out what the lost languages, like aramaic or even older ones, were in essence. So something as complex as gambling is definitely lost to time.  Roll Eyes

There is even proof that animals like chimpanzees have a proclivity towards some version of what might resemble gambling. They did experiments with apes in labs and the apes did seem to understand the gambling concept of risky winning. Not sure if one could find something similiar in wild nature.
Maybe it's painted on cave walls from our ancestors for newer generations to see. We may not know that but I had a feeling with the advancement of anthropology in the modern era more and more evidence will be found not just in gambling but on other niches as well.

I wonder what will those user's reaction when they found out that they have changed their T&C and they don't know about this. I think it's better if they close the account if for several months there's an inactivity on the account and post a note of the closing in the account.

Bradley Beal has negotiated in a 251 million 5 year deal and has a no trade clause in the contract. He is the only player in the league who has a true no trade clause in the contract. Beal is very very lucky to have earned a contract like that to be honest. From my point of view. Its definitely not worth it for the organisation. Beal is a good player but I don't consider him a superstar to be earning such contracts.
Wow, these players are still getting good contract even though they don't make any good thing for their teams. This isn't for Bradley Beal only but for other players that doesn't make any impact on their respective team, it's like they're just milking the organization.
Beal has been playing like a superstar, unfortunately, he is the only superstar left on his team that's why the Wizards are struggling now. When Wall and Beal was still playing together, the team reached in the playoffs and they are very competitive although they have not reach in the NBA Finals.

About the salary, I think he deserve that.
Bradley Beal Average point per game during 2021-2022 season was 23.2pts which is  already high and worthy to have a super star salary but what I don’t understand about Washington is why they give so much salary for a 5 year contract which is already sufficient to acquire more players with good skills that will help Beal. Washington management is surely all in investment on Beal since they lock him in for 5 years without any assurance that they can get a better result on the upcoming season. I really think they need to acquire more young talents and develop by themselves if they really want to focus the play around Beal.
That's what I thought too, maybe they are still believing that Beal will be bringing good thing for the team. His experience though is good but we may never know with the addition of Porzingis if that's what they are expecting to get better this incoming season.

The outcome was "High Risk Gambler" do I don't think what's the criteria to get one. Well, I only get 1 probably in the higher selection and I guess that wouldn't be considered solely to be at a high risk when most of my answer was at the minimum to never. Okay, it doesn't matter I guess.
1774  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can change of environment have an effect on gambling addiction. on: July 06, 2022, 01:30:44 PM
You will agree with me that society and the environment can have a great influence on the lifestyle of every individual, you often can find yourself doing, or being involved in that activity that almost everyone is involved with in that your locale as a result of influence. Now considering someone who is a gambling addict, is there any possibility of him/her becoming better if they are relocated to another environment or society where people around are not involved in gambling?

Can someone still develop the habit of gambling and become an addict even though no one around gambles?
Both scenarios can be possible or not depending on the individual as well if he engages in the activities or resist it to not be involve. This kind of questions is always subjective because not in all instances we can't be so sure even on ourselves or someone else's behavior.

Welcome here. I haven't found your website yet. But looking at your ui picture demo, it looks like it is a decentralized site where it is possible to bet only by connecting wallet. There is no need to creating an account or kyc. If so, I think this could be a good gambling site.

Note - Op I have send you a pm. Kindly check and let me know your Answer
The site's domain name was already on the title and to play the game you need to go to their dApp site, if you visit their main site you'll be able to find it. Kinda interesting on how AVAX dApps work but I guess as most of the gaming site dApps out there, they'll be just playable using personal wallet. The interesting part for me was the NFT but they're already sold out and secondary market is the only choice.

I wonder how far can these meme coins go but the fact that these two has large market cap probably Bitpay just look into that and not the actual definition on how they was created. Well, it's a positive one but as always, the question is how far can it go? I wish they still accept it even after a -90% decrease in value for the next bear market.

These tokens has been accepted by many business and yet, their price didn’t pump that much aside from being a meme token, their supply is huge so its really impossible for them to pump that much because if they do, for sure they can beat Bitcoin. This might be another attempt to hype meme tokens again, but for me they are done already because we are moving on into a new trend which is the NFTs. Be careful with meme tokens, mostly they are only moving because of the hype, and later on will dump again.
Meme tokens are lively when there's a bear market and the proof of that was the trend on NFT memes. That can be said on bull market as well, but their hype was just for a meantime then they'll decline. Meme as they called, they're not that to be trusted in any way, remember the squid game rug pull.

Now that Michael Saylor and El Salvador have purchased BTC at $19,000, we can be certain that the bottom is nowhere near
So when they bought it when it's not this price we can call that a bottom? Of course not, they're just the celebrity speculators and Bitcoin maximalist, and they don't have any crystal ball to tell it's the bottom or the top. This is the reason sometimes people weep over their investments.
1779  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: An alternative to gambling with money. on: July 04, 2022, 02:44:52 PM
I'm kinda neutral to this. Almost everything has a pros and cons. This maybe a good thing for newbie or someone who wanted to entertain himself but may also lead to trying it with real money and became addicted. Not all but once someone tried gambling, it will be very hard to resist the next time. If you are already a gambler with real money it may not be appealing as it is missing something like thrill, chance to win real money, etc.
You're not alone in that regard but for some reason, if you have something in mind that is more important than losing money in a gamble that may change a bit. I think it always comes in the responsibility in each of us who wants to gamble and deal with real money, as a human oftentimes we tend to risk it without having second thoughts especially if we have something in mind like, "I can earn the lose next time", "my partner or my family members can still handle the daily financial stuff", etc etc.

Not a good reason for most gamblers I suppose but if you're responsible in and out, you'll be having second thoughts even if it means seeking the thrill or the chance of winning. In the end, gambling most of the time weighs on the losing side.

The casino can't always have the promotion running as they need to do them in planned manner and effectively manage it in intersting way and Rollbit team is quite active and good at this so we don't need to worry about their marketing strategies.

Like see this tweet is 4 days old and they are giving away $250 as giveaway to random who like/rt it and along with it you can participate in event of the week to win the prizes so it's cool according to me.Big promotion and bonus will also come your way.
Well, I trust Rollbit can do that, they even organize thousands of prizes for a single giveaway, how much more for just a couple hundred bucks? There are lot of good promotional strategy but what I think with the Twitter giveaways is that it was for hype, lot of people utilizing Twitter as part of their marketing strats.
