Where is your research to prove your claims? You should have some proof to say that they're actually what you've concluded for. Because if there are no means of you proving them, there's not that much difference as both gamblers from physical and online casinos are there to have fun and make some profits. It's not a question because no matter what one does, the result still differs and all of us don't have the same stats for results. You can be the type of gambler for profit today and later on, you change your mind as you get into losing streak, you are there to have fun.
It is true that a player may have slightly different mindsets at different times in his game. Sometimes it seems to the player that the game ceases to be entertainment and allows him to earn a little money. And then the player goes into a different psychological state, when he has especially lost and begins to believe that he enjoyed the game. Even despite losing your money. This is such a good psychological defense for yourself and a way to alleviate the grief of losing money. And therefore, in my opinion, you should just always play gambling with the inner conviction that your game is definitely entertainment and it can be either with a win, which naturally improves your mood and brings joy, or with a loss, which should be perceived neutrally and strongly don’t be upset or worry. Exactly, you'd have that reason that you are for entertainment and that's why losing won't be so much painful to you. It's a mechanism that you can use against yourself when you've been on a losing streak and just try to reason out that you did enjoyed. Well, this is a psychological thing that you can do whenever you are comfortable or when frustration hits you badly because it's going to help you recover a bit mentally although your pockets are going to be too deep. |

Yeah, it will be a different story if Coach Darvin Ham have reserved even 1 timeout for the last remaining minutes of the 4th quarter but he didn't. He misused the timeouts, he didn't used it when it's mostly needed and used it when it's not needed at all. Well, that's how he coaches and we'll see that it the end, the Lakers management will have to decide if they're going to reform the team and do some shuffle for their roster or they'd remain intact with the current roster that they have. Because they actually need some help from a big man.
It seems like everyone (at least us old heads) is suddenly talking about LeBron, KD, and Steph teaming up. This is the first time in 20 years we haven't seen one of those names in round 2 of the playoffs and folks like myself aren't ready to give up LeBron for Anthony Edwards just yet. We want to see one big splash before those 3 big names drop off into irrelevancy. So while it is just a pipe dream and Durant is already rumored to be considering a reunion in Oklahoma City, I would love nothing more than LeBron and KD signing with the Warriors this summer. One last shot for them all. Lebron said that he likes to spend the rest of his time with his family and friends and don't have anything to say yet. But I guess him and Steph would be a great tandem as they're going to play for the Olympics. Who knows if both of them have that little talk there and will agree on what if with their very last years they're going to team up and become the most desired team to watch in the NBA. It's not sure that they're going to get the ring but sure, it is going to be a desired team by most NBA fans. |

^ The Lakers just didn't learn.  That's one heck of a perimeter running shot from Jamal Murray for a game-winner. That's not easy, I could tell. No balance, feet not set, and being in front of a defender. He really mastered basketball to be able to do that. I wouldn't blame them, they know that it's going to happen and Reaves was there to guard Murray but he's just too slippery. The problem there is that coach Darvin Ham didn't reserved any timeout for the last clutch plays like it's needed for those remaining seconds. And he didn't also used some on 3rd quarter when the momentum was with the Denver Nuggets, he didn't cut them off and let like 6+ points to be made by the Nuggets before he finally called it. If there's one to blame, it's obvious but the game's done and as I've said, no blaming anymore as that won't change the results. With still more than 2 minutes left in the game the Lakers have no timeout anymore. The outcome could be different if they still have a timeout as they can design a play for a 3 point shot and the Lakers could win by 1 point. But you are right, what's done is done, Lakers just not as clutch as the Nuggets as they are only good at the start but always fail to finish the game with a win. And take note, Murray was not even 100% in that game, before the game he was listed as questionable but he did play and was the hero in the game. The Lakers players just did the right thing, it only differ on the coaching job. Yeah, it will be a different story if Coach Darvin Ham have reserved even 1 timeout for the last remaining minutes of the 4th quarter but he didn't. He misused the timeouts, he didn't used it when it's mostly needed and used it when it's not needed at all.

The day after the Phoenix Suns get swept and they’re ready to end the experiment. Durant is blaming the coach for using him wrong. Beal was a total mistake, and now Booker wants to get traded to the Knicks. I think the Suns are going to be crippled for years as a result of this failed experiment.
Suns deserve that with Beal, losing a tons of money and they don't have first pick and second pick for every round. They're going to wait for that so long. They don't want to establish from their own picks but instead, they think that they'll able to make the best team by having those expensive stars that shall contribute. Anyway, they've been brought to the playoffs but that's all and all. I am more worried about Bol Bol as his contract is about to expire with them or it actually did already after the swept happened. |

What is your opinion towards my research that online casino gambling has more of possesed players who stakes to make profits while the land base gambling is more of players who stakes for funs?

IMHO, they are aware of it and they get it. It's true that it's not about the ticket prices because whatever the cost of it, if the league is handled well. The venues are going to be closely booked and there will be no more scalpers that will take those tickets but even now, the scalpers aren't interested to take part of hoarding tickets. LOL. The farm teams don't really make sense for the league and the commissioners don't do anything with it in their power to control them but it's always money that talks for them.
I agree, it's not all about the ticket prices or other cost in purchasing merch, it's all about people and the supporters are losing interest with them because of repetitive teams playing in the semis, supporters know how the team plays and they can easily predict who will become the winning team, But I don't know if there's still a lot of people still watching them once it was aired on television. We don't want to see the same teams with strong line ups always comes back in the semis and finals. We're too tired seeing those teams as if they're the only teams playing on the league. It's kind of deserving to see that the crowd is empty for every game and even in championships, they're giving free tickets and despite that, not everyone tries to get them even they're no cost at all. It's all about what the fans like and I think it was Coach Yeng Guiao that says that the PBA management should listen to what the fans like and not them. They should be done to their own purposes and they should give it this time to fans or they will see the downfall of PBA. Actually, it's already falling. |

That's the fact, only a few watches PBA nowadays and the real fans have stayed but it's not that surprising that many of them have been out too when they're tired seeing the same teams getting in the semis and the finals. IIRC, there's also a promo that they've made about giving free tickets on valentines or this March. I can't remember but it didn't clicked to the public and that's actually a hard pill to swallow for the commissioners and staff of PBA when they're ignored by majority of the Filipino basketball community and it's more fun to watch the other leagues that are emerging nowadays like MPBL and international leagues where there are Filipino players.
They don't get it actually, the real problem is not that people can't afford for the tickets but it's the lack of interest because they are not anymore seeing this as a competitive league. (X) all that farm teams, at least for a start and let's see from their if the league's revenue will progress. The next thing to do is eliminate sister teams as we can't prevent people from thinking that sister teams when playing they aren't serious. IMHO, they are aware of it and they get it. It's true that it's not about the ticket prices because whatever the cost of it, if the league is handled well.

That's great initiative, it's also a way of marketing so people's interest will grow on the PBA league. Because whether they admit it or not, it's pretty obvious that people are not watching PBA anymore. With this free tickets promo, we will see if they'll be able to bring people in the arena and judge from their if that strategy is working.

76ers were also able to secure the win against the New York Knicks, with Joel Embiid dropping 50 whopping points against the Knicks defense, giving how the previous games transpired, I doubt anyone would have anticipated a player dropping 50 against this defense.
I believe that this is career high and those last few minutes of the 4th quarter made him able to reach 50 points. IIRC, when it was last 2-3 minutes, he's got 40-45 but then with all of those fouls to delay the game, that made him a lot of free throws. Lakers v Nuggets
Davis played really well for the Lakers but the performance from the Nuggets was good overall. Many players had actually contributed for the Nuggets. Which actually did not happen for the Lakers. And that is a big reason why I think the Lakers actually lost the match.
I was hyped honestly by their first few minutes. The crowd was all in but Michael Malone was too patient for the game and still, there's this strategy that he knows how to beat Lakers for the second time with a straight season, a back to back playoffs. It means a lot if you're going to appreciate Malone and the entire Nuggets team. |

I think the Celtics probably take this series over the Heat easily and tonight should be another step towards that. Nothing too surprising expected there. The New Orleans game should be a little more interesting, as that team should be rested finally after the play-in tournament. No Zion and an angry BI makes it a tough road ahead for them though.
The Celtics have great chance, especially if the Miami Heat don't change their game. And if Jimmy Butler plays the Miami Heat might secure at least one win. I also believe the Celtics will win this series, unlike what happened to the Miami Heat last season that they upset the East number 1 seed. Right now, the Celtics still have the highest odds of becoming the champions this NBA season. Still reasonable odd IMO. If there is still no Jimmy for their game 2, this is for sure another game for the Celtics. That's always been the agitator whenever they face in the playoffs. As for the odds, that's obvious because there's lesser confidence that the Heat will win this game but still, if you're a fan of theirs and you've got some reasons to bet on them then let's all just watch and say good luck to the Heat. Even with Jimmy I think the game would go to Boston. Miami just doesn’t have enough to beat them this year. With the game kicking off now on TNT, I’m expecting we see the Celtics take a 2-0 series lead and begin thinking about their next matchup, which I suspect will be against the Cleveland Cavaliers. I was wrong there, even without Jimmy the Heat managed to win and with some good lead there. The fans got out of the arena even the game wasn't finished because it's already known that the game was Heat's. Are there news if Jimmy will play on 3rd? Last season, it was Jimmy's showtime while Herro was on the bench, a while ago they've switched places. |

That was the time when Bay Area Dragon was part of the league and with their match against Ginebra, they have filled the entire area. See, that hints that the fans are up for the competition and not with just a few of these teams that will always become the champions and have some unfair trades.
PBA is not dead yet, they just don't want it to be lovable by the fans. I think they need to invite more foreign teams to make it more exciting, the current teams that are playing now is just very predictable, there's no excitement anymore and they have to understand that. They don't have to invite more teams IMHO. What they need to do is to have fair trades for all of the teams. Not that one team is just an actual farm team and then Ginebra, SMC or MVP teams will harvest that good player and will be traded to them. Unfortunately, I think this team BAD was already disbanded
Yes, they're already disbanded but their coach helped team Strong Group when Dwight played there. they could have come back again and make the PBA more exciting to watch. It's been awhile, does PBA have a plan of having a season like that?
They have budget constraints and I think that they are permanently disbanded. About that type of season, maybe it's on the works because they've seen a success out of it. |

Are you a Filipino? this has been a norm and meme in our country that many of the content creators, coming from the gaming streams that they do everyday, they've changed their contents to gambling related contents. I think that the pay is higher with that and with their influence to their fans is very much high. But they don't know that a lot of lives have been destroyed with how they promote the casino as if they're always going to win those bets they do. There's a false marketing on their end and making it look like it's easy to win.
No one caring about what is happening because mostly are looking for their own profit and increase of income which is happening due to their streams and change of contents in recent time we have significant increase in gambling streamers which are bringing serious problems in many countries and societies but sadly no one can stop them just having check to kids are enough otherwise things are going from bad to worse. In last few years I am having experience of too much new generation kids are involved in this even they are not having enough sources of income which are creating problems and addictions are killing peoples as well with the race for having more income is surly their priority, but they need to understand some ground realities as well. It's true that they're for the profit and it doesn't matter to them whoever views their videos. They're earning two ways on the videos that they make. So, from the social platform itself and then the sponsorship that's being done by the casino they're adding to their video. Honestly, most of the content creators in our country has always that kind of ad because it's making them earn a lot of money per video. It's not surprising why many of them keeps on adding the casino ad at the end of their videos. |

It's always been them and that's why some fans are happy to see if it's not Ginebra ending in the grand finals. Although, fan base wise, they've got a lot of it but even with their games, its' no longer the same that the whole venue is full. This time, it's not that full at all and fans have lost interest due to the topics like this. They don't want to see the same teams ending in the finals because it's sort of boring when we want all teams to be competitive.
Some maybe happy but majority of the fans are rooting for Ginebra, so this team are not in the finals, they'll not spend their money to watch the game live. Filling up the Philippine Arena would result to a bigger income for the PBA, they needed that considering how much they are paying on their teams that are full of star players, I'm talking about the teams own by a giant company. Last time no Ginebra, so this time the league can't afford to not put Ginebra in the Finals, they should be here and will probably battle with SMB which has a very dominant game last night and still able to maintain their undefeate record. That was the time when Bay Area Dragon was part of the league and with their match against Ginebra, they have filled the entire area. See, that hints that the fans are up for the competition and not with just a few of these teams that will always become the champions and have some unfair trades. |

I agree, it doesn't happen a lot in the PBA. But if it's in the grand finals, you'd see a lot of them happen because sometimes we think that they're scripted.
Though, it's really how the game works for those teams that are part of the grand finals. Sometimes they stumble and sometimes it's a tie so, it's nothing new that we see these upsets only mostly in the finals.
There's no exciting finals to watch than the Ginebra being in the court. If you'll compare the NBA finals last time wih SMB vs Magnolia, it's not as popular as when Ginebra is in the Finals because they can fill the arena and even take the game to the biggest arena in our country just to accomodate the fans. It's always been them and that's why some fans are happy to see if it's not Ginebra ending in the grand finals.

Upset does not happen a lot in the PBA, unless it's just a regular season. In the playoffs or especially in the Finals, it shoudl be the best of the best in order for them to sell their tickets, otherwise, people will not be watching as they already know the outcome.
