You don't really need to overthink these games; they're pure luck. Just roll with the luck and hopefully, you win. Bringing math into the mix just makes things unnecessarily complicated, and you might find yourself going a bit crazy, LOL.

Having a grasp of the game and our odds is fundamental. Without that, we're just being irresponsible gamblers. Unless we're not taking it too seriously and just doing it for fun, then it's all good.



I find keeping up with the news easier than diving into mathematics. Some websites offer free sports statistics, which can be useful. However, the real challenge lies in analyzing the data and figuring out if it can boost our chances of winning. While winning in sports betting is possible without heavy math, the real key to consistent success is letting math guide your decisions.

Honestly, I'm not great at giving advice on gambling problems because I've personally struggled with addiction. From my experience, I realized that I was the only one who could solve my problem. I don't actively approach people even if I sense they might be addicted to gambling. Out of respect, I let them come to me if they want to share their problems, and I'm always willing to listen. I prefer not to intrude into their personal lives; I value privacy, and emotionally, I can be a bit fragile. If they're hurting, it affects me too.

 Do not entertain strangers online, and never click or open messages that are sent from unknown, that is one trap to access your account through getting your sensitive information that you should be protecting in the first place. And in instances that someone will invite you to join their group or channel for free, do not bite the offer because it could be free for now but later on it will already ask a fee or payment in exchange to what you have gotten from them.

The online world is full of scammers. So just act like you're one of them and act smarter and wiser, so you won't be taken advantage by those real scammers.

Learning from all my initial mistakes and losses is a big factor. If you trade as a newbie, you are more susceptible to commit errors and end up trading as a loser, but the important thing is you also gained good lessons afterwards which will help you improve and build confidence every time you decide to trade.  And by practicing caution in trading, that will encourage me to limit my errors and losses every time I trade.

There's always inevitable hurdles that are obviously present in the trading market. But as you go on trading and become more exposed to the trading market and its highly volatile and unpredictable market, you will learn to overcome those hurdles and instead build your confidence in the process.

Is that a typo error by @bisdak40? Is it Converge +8.5 or Ginebra -8.5? Currently, on the live betting odds, I see Ginebra at -8.5 with 1.72 odds. It seems the bookies are still trusting them to win and cover the spread. Let's see how it plays out, but I'm curious to know what @bisdak40's actual bet is.

They had a promising start, and I thought they were for real, especially with CP3 on board and the trade involving Poole. However, it seems to be messing up the Wizards' chemistry now. Just like what we witnessed last season, their persistent lack of inside presence has been a problem. They're getting dominated inside, and to make it worse, their 3-point shooting has dropped significantly.

As we can see, the Warriors are now only rank number 7 in 3 point percentage.

You don't need to own instantly a big amount of bitcoin in your wallet. In fact, a lot of bitcoin hodlers do not start with a big purchase but only with an amount that they can easily afford to lose. That's the secret in any investment, know your limits most especially if you are still in the process of learning your investment. You don't need to rush owning a bag of bitcoin, you will definitely achieved it in time through patience and market understanding.

They say bitcoin is only for rich and high status in the community, but we all know its not. That's the good thing about bitcoin. You are free to invest even with a small amount of penny but never expect for immediate profits but be more open for initial losses. That way, you will be able to overcome the risk to lose.

Shakur vs Loma would be a good matchup. Please, no Haney. Let Haney successfully move with a win, so they'll not meet, as we know the fight would be too boring to watch. People might not watch it, and promoters will not make money.

The controversy that Loma got robbed; he could redeem himself if he could beat Shakur, and I'm sure Haney will come aggressively asking for a rematch.

Actually make that 6.

Here are the 6 teams that beat them;
1- Lakers
2- Knicks
3-Nets
4-Dallas
5-Memphis
6-Denver.


If they didn't struggle, that rumor would not have come out. But if this problem continues to persist, the Clippers' management will be forced to trade Harden. They were a decent team before he arrived, and they just want to get back to normal so they still have a chance to be in the playoffs, even if their standing is not that good.

People who come to invest in the crypto market should not put the responsibility to someone to educate them and make them understand how crypto investment works. If they really want to learn, they should put their due diligence to research and study and learn from the experiences of early investors through reading legit articles online or simply or engaging in the bitcointalk forum and learn everything in there. That way, even if you start being illiterate, I know this forum will create a lot of changes in you especially in learning about the basics in the crypto investment.

However, on part of OP, you should not put the blame in your hands. Although there might be some regret wishing you had taught him, but what has happened had already happened. It should serve as a lesson to the person being scammed.

Who can keep up with all the games you're betting on? When you're consistently wagering on odds like 1.05 or even lower, you end up betting on numerous games. This can be stressful because, inevitably, you'll face some losses, and as you mentioned, these losses eat into your winnings. In reality, this method doesn't seem to be effective. I believe that focusing on quality bets is more impactful than quantity. Just ensure you're betting a reasonable amount, so you don't get too greedy in pursuit of your winning goal.

I don't think the family has gone too far from threatening the casinos and sue them once they have allowed their family member to gamble. It's an initial reaction from a family and if they can't stop him from gambling and selling all his properties, probably talking to the casino shop owner is the last option. However, this is not enough reason that they will sue the casino for that, they can only do that if they can prove that the casino has been performing against the rules and is creating their own rule for their personal aims and goals.

In addition, to answer the second question, even if your family has not supported your gambling habit all the way, but you can't just easily erase the fact that family will always be a family. The one you can rely on when everything are turning backs on you. And if they don't tolerate your gambling addiction, that's because they don't want you to end up being harmed and homeless. With that, still be thankful for them and share whatever you are capable to share, even if it's the money you won from gambling.

They had big men in the past with good size, such as Andrew Bogut and JaVale McGee. I don't even understand why they let go of JaVale when he was part of the team during their championship win. It seems they are sticking with their small-ball system, and we know there's a disadvantage in that—specifically, the lack of defense in the paint and rebounding. Their best way to overcome this disadvantage is to shoot well from the outside, which unfortunately didn't happen, at least for Curry's teammates, especially Thompson.

The fact that its considered a private key, then no one is allowed to know about it but definitely only YOU. That's why you should keep its security always high so that other people will never have an edge to steal it from you. But if you are the one making a move to reveal your private keys to someone whom you highly trusted, maybe for now your account might be safe but you don't know in the future if it will still be safe knowing its not private anymore.

This is why if you can't keep your privacy for long, then never engage in certain investments that need some privacy. Otherwise, you will only put your investments at risk because you fail to keep your private keys stay in private for the longest time.

Sometimes, using stop loss is crucial in order to help you cut your losses and to help you avoid making emotional decisions that would definitely put your trades into a negative loss. Once you resort into stop loss, it does not mean that you are actually at the losing end, but its definitely a big step to free yourself from big losses that might happen while you are in the process of continuous trading.

By being greedy, you certainly think that the price will keep on growing that's why you decide not to sell. However, if you don't act upon seeing your trades are not doing good anymore, then you could experience more losing if you don't decide to sell at a stop loss. Using stop loss is not actually accepting that you are already losing your trades, but its the best option that could help you out from the big losses that you would encounter later on.

Gambling and engaging in illegal activities are different things since gambling may not be illegal in your country, so there's no legal liability if you gamble. However, it's a standard rule that when you're working, you have to be honest with the company, meaning your time should be spent effectively and in the interest of the company. Gambling isn't a company interest; it's a personal one. Therefore, getting caught could merit termination unless you're exceptionally valuable to the company and they would struggle without you.

I was surprised he got ejected. Even the commentators didn't agree with the call, as the refs considered the previous foul that was already called against Draymond and decided to eject him. I know Draymond can be seen as dirty or maybe just too competitive, but I don't agree with the call.

It's quite odd that they don't have a player/s in their roster that is listed as "C" (center).

In short, learn to research everything that requires validation. These popular influencers might have created a good reputation but we can't just rely on it and expect that everything they say are based on facts and not just to manipulate us. A lot of crypto influencers have been successful at the start but the fact that they become more exposed to the greed for money, that's when they become more doubtful for us.

However, I can't tell that the crypto influencers in general are unreliable as there are some who are still genuine on their concepts that they are sharing, but in order to keep ourselves not from falling into some of their traps, then DYOR would always be the best choice.

Probably a lot of pensioners will not agree to accept bitcoin as their pension because we all know that until now, only few of the population are aware about how to use bitcoin and use it for their own convenience, while majority would still want to prefer to receive fiat most especially that the older and the more traditional people are involved here. But if its the only option, then they will accept it and force to learn on it.

But on the other hand, bitcoin can always be taught and learned. It might be hard on the start but eventually, people will learn to use it and protect its private keys because its a must in order to keep their coins sound and safe. And maybe we don't know in the end, these pensioners will appreciate bitcoin at the end of the day.

I haven't come across any live streams yet, so I assume there's no one conducting live streams to educate people about sports betting. The method can be easily learned, and our differences mainly lie in analyzing the outcomes of a particular game. With experience, we can improve over time.

You need to shift your perspective on sports betting. If you view it as luck-based, there's no motivation to put effort into analyzing game outcomes or taking online courses. Change your mindset from luck-based to skill-based. Convince yourself that you're engaging in a chance to win consistently, not just a one-time lucky outcome.

That's true. It's essential to concentrate on sports that you genuinely love so that betting becomes enjoyable. Setting clear goals and betting on games you truly understand is better than making guesses without a reliable basis each time.
