Gambling is for the strong and sturdy.
 I got this caption based on what happened when I visited an old friend of mine as it's been long since we saw, and so, after a little time out together with random discussions I discovered a sudden change in his mood while we're still chatting. With a steady look on his phone in his hands for about a minute or more as he scrolled up and down the phone screen repeatedly he shrouded his shoulders with a simultaneous regrettable look all over his face.
I took the phone from him only to learn that my friend has been calculating the whole series of losses he has made from all the bets he has placed from one of the gambling site he patronize. He had made a multiples of losses in almost all the games he had placed bet on  right from the start of this year, even to the current bet of that very day.

But then he asked me' bro assuming I had gathered all these money I have lost through gambling and channeled it into some sort of a little business or project, wouldn't it have been better!  At that moment I never knew the exact word to give to him as I never expected such deep a question, for the least I replied him was "hmm I can't really say".

With this, I wondered if other person's here in the forum that are into gambling too has at any point in time thought or felt that way, particularly when the losses are becoming overwhelming. And in that case, should such person stop gambling and rather divert such monies into something else since he/she ain't making corresponding wins or more, checking his bet history, Or he should carry on with hopes that winnings will start creeping in someday gradually?

It makes me wonder why some franchise still settle for old veterans who are more prone to injures for potential players with more than 4-5 years experience in the league with great shape and very healthy, If KD comes back at some point in the regular season, I really don't know how much the Suns can rely on him to remain healthy for the post season, but guys Mikael Bridges and Cameron Johnson are no where near KD, but the big question mark is if he's healthy, meanwhile Bridges and Cam Johnson have been significant for Nets since they joined, the results might not have looked great but these are guys that you can build the future of a franchise around, I wonder what would have been of the warriors in the past decade without Steph and Klay to build a team pieces around.

Embiid again came as the savior of the Philadelphia 76ers. Simons did well for the trailblazers. But yes it is true that the trailblazers actually choked. They actually should have had it in the bag. But they could not hold on to their nerves in the end. This match could have gone either way. Credit to the Philadelphia 76ers for being able to clutch the moment.

Spurs won against Denver Nuggets. This was honestly an upset. Of course, the team was underrated by a lot of people. And the media was also trying to hype up the better team. The match was actually a good one for Spurs. They had an overall good performance.

Thank you, I really appreciate it. It’s been rough on me to say the least.

Still happy to get this up and running. I’ve got word from 2 other forum members who are in which would make 4 of us. Im confident Wheelz1200 will be game for it, making 5. Surely we could get a few others with a post in rounds and games. Will continue to try and garner more people as well.

I've been away for a while, but I'm active again!

I confess, I'm a surprised by the result of some games and that's a fact, day after day the games are very competitive and several teams want a seed in the playoffs.

It's incredible, the performance of the Lakers in these last few games, literally AD is carrying the team on its back!
I have no doubt that he could be the go-to player for the Lakers when LJ is absent.

Lately I'm betting a little bit, because I'm having difficulty to "hit" some bets.

If only reaching the playoffs, I'm sure they can do it without Kevin Durant.

It's already proven that Booker, Ayton, and CP3 can bring the Suns to the playoffs even before without the help of any big superstar. But in the playoffs, they need Kevin Durant here to boost their offensive phase. It's also always a known habit by Chris Paul to choke at the playoffs and to cover that usual behavior of him every playoff, that's the time Booker needs something as consistent as Durant.

Yes, that is the good news, the it's self defense on his part as it was reported that he shot to retrieved what has been stolen from him, so he was released and no prison time.

Of course who will forget him as Supersonics, very athletic during his prime, unfortunately, just like the best players of the 90's him and Gary Payton will have to face Michael Jordan in that era and we all know that the GOAT is 6/6 in the finals.

I see that btc almost hit 25k$ this morning and i believe that if btc rise 25k$ most of the altcoins will also rise or follow btc trend, so i think this time will be the very best time to decide what altcoins can give us profit in short term investment if you have any suggestions please extend or let me know.

Sports arbitrage is basically when you make profit from matches regardless of the outcome of those matches just by taking advantage of odd difference between book makers. Odd difference on the other hand occur as a result of error in setting the odds by the bookmakers.

The Golden State Warriors got more edge in this game because their main line-up is healthy and alive especially the Big Three, Wiggins and GP2 might not play in the game as of now but they can still manage against the Grizzlies who are missing a lot of their key players especially in their defense capabilities as well as their offense as Clarke and Adams are still ruled out. GSW -2.5 is reasonable enough.

As a matter of fact, I got them on my list for the games later.
Warriors -2.5 vs Grizzlies
Kings -2 vs Knicks
Hornets -3.5 vs Pistons

The Suns have the liberty to give Durant more rest since they are in the top 4 in the Western Conference, which means their playoff spot is relatively secure at the moment. In fact, the Suns only struggled when Booker was injured and out for a while. Now that he is back, they will be able to continue on their winning path while Durant waits to deliver big-time come playoffs.

Pretty emotional scene at Pau Gasol’s jersey retiring ceremony. Plenty of tears in the house seeing Pau’s Jersey hanging next to Kobe’s. The picture of Pau looking up with tears in his eyes is enough to put a lump in anyone’s throat. I’m glad that their jerseys get to hang next to each other forever. They were great friends and it still shows.

Today morning received the weeks payment. I had the payment of the previous week. Altogether it was around 0.0055 in the wallet. The first bet was planned to be 0.0005BTC. Instead of placing 0.0005BTC, I misplaced 0.005BTC and the bet was lost. This was completely unexpected and it is my fault. If the bet have won my wallet balance could've turned 0.007BTC, now it is an empty wallet.

Have any of you encountered such wrong bets and won/lost
