Jokic has never been swept in the playoffs I guess. But of course, adjustment is necessary but I doubt they'll make the right one now that there's a rumor that Murray might be suspended one game, and if that is game 3 then I guess the Nuggets will struggle due to lack of offense. We all know that the Nuggets are about Murray + Jokic, both should play together so the team will play better, so it's important to know if Murray will play before we place our bets.

Yes I do. I even hide my gambling practices from my family and my partner. I had even promised not to gamble again the last time I lost a large amount of money rage betting. I would have hid it but it was too large to go missing. I too have a social life and is considered as a person who don't like to party or gamble. All the gambling I do are online. There are some friends and colleagues who knows I'm active in gambling as we do talk about where the better odds are provided for sports betting and who might win. There's a few friends who are introduced to online games by myself. Except for them, no other would guess the amount of time and money I lose on gambling.

Abortion is a problem for the mother, and causes extraordinary pain that can cause death. This is controversial in society and is prohibited religiously. Another reason why people are determined to have an abortion is due to promiscuity and the man's irresponsibility, so there are medicines or concoctions such as herbal medicine to dilute the fetus in the womb, there are even massage shamans who want to do things that are prohibited by that religion. What can be prevented is that families continue to monitor their children and also that community leaders must make these regulations stricter so that they can be more controlled when there are people who have bad habits.

If I remember correctly, in the European Union you can travel with up to 10k euro without declaring the money; if you have more than 10k euro with you, you can still travel but you are require to declare the money, if you don't and they discover you, the money will probably be confiscated until when your position is clarified. I think in the USA is pretty much the same but instead of 10k euro is $10k. But as I previously said, we're talking about declaring the money, not as a maximum limit you are allowed to bring with you.

Actually, the dislike for Paul has been going on for long time and he has received various bad comments among boxing fans because in several fights he chose fighters who old.
But even though he gets various harsh comments, this fight will still continue considering that there is large amount of money being made for their fight.
But I don't care because I want to see Paul beaten by Mike Tyson like when he lost to Tommy Fury or worse by knockout.
That way, I sure Paul won't make another ridiculous fight in the future because a defeat like that would definitely embarrass him and Paul would really lose his name in his debut as boxer.

Fight is still quite long and there is plenty of time to prepare everything, in this fight all I hope is that Mike Tyson can give big surprise by beating Paul.
If it is not possible that in the future there will be another fighter who could be equal to him and make him feel truly bitter defeat, there are several fighters who could be the main options after the fight against Mike Tyson is over.

Damn right, are they a scam? I am not exactly sure, but the odds are certainly not in your favor. God, these are awful machines. They have a worse grip than a newborn baby, and 9 out of 10 times when you pick something up, it'll fall right next to the exit latch. I've remembered them since childhood, and I don't recall ever winning anything. Can they be considered gambling? Certainly yes. Not all claw machines have stuffed animals inside; there are others that feature expensive devices, watches, electronics, or even cash prizes. There are even found in casinos, while they're spreading like a virus at almost every location.

actually what I see mate is that poorer is the most  affected here? because rich can lose this and that amount but the poorer? once they lose a certain amount ? that means either one meal will be out of the table .
the sad truth of gambling life that the poorer will keep being a loser while the rich will become winner.

If you havent wont anything that does not mean this is a scam. You have said it yourself - you saw people winning small prizes. Claw machines are sort of gambling, when you know the machine is rigged, you know that owner is going to cheat you, but you still try your luck and try to get the prize with minimum attempts. It is possible to get any prize from that machine, gamblers just need to be more persistent. A lot of people try to get prize with first attempts, with spare change they have, as well as they dont this game serious. That is why they lose and call it scam. I dont use this machines frequent, as I rarely have coins and they dont accept cards. But in a tourist places abroad, I have managed to get plush toys several times.

Cycling is one of those sports that I follow, but not at a fan level, it's like those who find out that football exists every 4 years, FIFA Word Cup, that happens to me with cycling.

Although I can say that I follow it a little more, since I follow the news of the return to Spain, among others, but definitely Tours de France do make me review the information more.

For the injured there is still time to recover, I suppose in those with minor injuries, in any case the World Cup and the Olympics are events that take on relevance this year.

On the other hand, on this board we like to talk about sports but also about betting, perhaps that is why we hope that events are closer or happening to get our "eye" into more detail.

I have seen other threads related to the topic in other years:

Have you ever noticed or am I the only one?

The more active I become with gambling, the more it drags me back, luckily I keep risking only what I want to lose.

The less active I become with gambling, the more positive it gets for me, not most of the time but my results are simply better than when I was very active.

It's like the casinos are wired to mess with the most active gamblers. I don't know, so far I can only find someone who has seen such before.

A friend who lives far away from me has also said the same, he got tired of gambling because it wasn't going his way but when he started talking it less seriously, that's when he started to get positive results.

Has anyone had the same experience before?

You can always tell your friend how profitable bitcoin investment is, but you can't lead him on his decision where to invest or if he's really interested to invest those money sleeping in the bank. This is to avoid putting you in a dangerous situation because if your friend follows your financial advice, and eventually fail in the long run, then you will be held responsible of his losses, simply because you were the one who introduced him to bitcoin. You can encourage him to research about bitcoin but you can never tell him to forcefully invest on it.

Well, it's not really bad to give advices to other people because you had a really bad experience about gambling. Though, it may turn out differently for other people who can actually control themselves not to gamble away their life savings or going beyond his budget intended only for gambling, but this kind of advices will somehow serve as reminders that we can get out of control at anytime causing you to lost a lot of money. This story isn't new to any gamblers, we have heard a lot of similar stories about this, but there are still a lot who have lost money excessively.

For me claw machines require little skill to play, as everything depends from how owner set claw strength. User can simply randomly move controller and randomly choose item. If claw closing strength is enough, it will hold the prize like close grip. But in most cases we see how claw shakes and drops the prize the next second claw was closed. However that is ok. Low skill requirement is perfect for everyone to try to win the prize.

This may be a cheating trap, so don't proceed to discuss anyone here. It is better to leave these places to keep yourself safe
