Nah, basically, no one can. If you think you've beaten the casino by just running away for quite some time after a huge win, well, you have to remember that you're not the only person playing at their casino. Some people may get lucky, but most aren't. So, no matter how much you win, the casino will always have bigger profit from those who lost. That has always been the case since the casinos and other betting hosts were created.

I think this does not apply in large number of people nowadays, unlike before where people are really faithful to their beliefs. Holy week nowadays are being used to go to vacation to unload the stress from work.
Some may have checked in to a luxurious hotel where casinos are present. I don't think casinos will cease operation in observation with holy week either.
I not 100% sure but people are becoming less and less religious, especially those who are born in the modern generation.

I was wondering what makes you really interested in sacrificing that important money of yours to something that's uncertain and most likely to lose.
That's something I don't have when I was a beginner. I didn't think that way, I only gamble to have some fun whilte potentially earning.
My regrets came in when I have enough knowledge about gambling as I became more greedy and wanted to win more, so I place huge amount of bets as well.

Judging on how the Warriors played against the Memphis today, it does look like they're gonna head to a 1st round exit against the Rockets. I mean, they blew up a 20 point lead at home. Almost lost when Ja Morant has been suffering from rolled ankle that has been limping all throughout the 4th quarter.
They could've lost that game If Morant wasn't injured late in the 3rd. He has been at the tip of that Grizzlies run to overcome a 20 point deficit.
Though they have a tied series in the regular season, but the Rockets had their best run mid-season. Let's see how they play in the playoffs.

I have a different views with beginners feeling over confident after a few winning streaks, which we call it beginner's luck. They might going to go for increased betting spree hoping to maximize the opportunity, but once they experience a tragic lose, they normally would think to quit immediately as if gambling was a huge mistake for them. I met a few people who's actually like this and they never went back to gambling. Some had came back but not regularly, they just casually betting on their favorite teams.
Greed is part of the human nature. In gambling the most susceptible people are the ones who have enough experience. Some has the ability to control it, but some choose not.

Nah. Sports betting for me is just for fun, and we have our own different definitions of success when we're talking about gambling.
IMO, if success defines the amount you win everytine you place a bet, then I guess those who wager the most are most likely going to be successful than those casual bettors or even regular bettors with low betting amount.
By my own definition of success, it's every time you picked a good but risky odds and win it. That's actually hard to achieve, but when you have a good winning percentage that only means you're good at analysing matches. Now, if you have that kind of analytical skills, increase your betting limits to become even more successful financially.

Based on your statement, you're most likely passed a KYC to this gambling website. If that is the case, you should take actions immediately and request to hold/freeze the account temporarily while you file a ticket to retrieve your account. I believe you have all the capacity to retrieve it especially when you went KYC verification.
You'll never know what the hacker is capable of. The fact that he logged into your account, there should be a reason for that and it's gonna be your identity that will be put on the line.

Jordan and Kobe has similar type of game. They both are good in ISO and 1on1 basketball. They can score anyway they want and that's what make them great.
On the other hand, LeBron is one of a kind. He's most likely not gonna win 1on1 against Jordan or Kobe, because he is a team player. He can literally take any team to the finals. As what we have seen in the previous years LeBron had 8 consecutive finals appearances. During his early years, he single handedly brought the Cavs to the Finals against the prime Spurs, somehing that Jordan and Kobe was not able to do during their early years.
IMO, these 3 are the goat of their respective eras.

Most people are actually aware that gambling will eventually make you lose everything regardless if you have a good amount of winning at the start, but some people tend to ignore this during a winning streak or even in the middle of frustration for not being able to get a win after a consecutive losses.
One of the most effective ways to keep your winning from turning into a loss, is to keep a good percentage out of it. If you still have some feeling you can get more win, use only a portion of that winning amount so you can still walk away with a win even if that portion you pursued to gamble will lose. This has worked for me before and I know it will still work for me today.

That's a definition of responsible gambling and learning self control over gambling urges. Some people cant control their emotions especially during the absence of luck. I saw a lot of people before where they carelessly placing bets out of frustration because they are struggling to find their rhythm or the luck as we say in gambling. I don't know if they are considered addicted, but in my own views, they already are. Though it's not that worse in contrast with other people, but that could progress into a worst situation if these people won't change their gambling behavior.  

Exactly! Nobody actually noticed that we had 2 revenge games that just happened on the same day. People are too focused on the Luka - Dallas come back. That game actually created two different stories for the Lakers and GSW's run to secure a playoff spot. The Lakers just clinched a top 6 playoff spot after the W. While the GSW are in danger of no being able to recover a spot in the top 6 and may play in the play-in tournament against the Kings Or Dallas. These both teams has the potential to beat the GSW in the play-in.
If the Grizz wins today against the Wolves, then the GSW are in deep trouble for sure.

$100/month? I don't know which country where people can survive with this amount. I come from 3rd world country, in one of the poorest region here. However, with that monthly income, I don't think it's enough to give you 3 meals a day. That probably going to last in less than 15 days tops, If you're good at budgeting and of course you're single, leaving alone in your own space.
So, I don't think someone would willing to put their meal money at risks. Though I saw a few people who still gamble despite of being poor, and I don't where they will find food when they lose.

That Denver team is really in danger of falling behind to play in the play-in tournament after firing their head coach. There seems to be a chaos within the team now as Jokic looks to be upset with what's happening to their organization right now.
Too many drama happening with the Western Conference right now lol. The Lakers were also upset after that unnecessary ejection against the OKC when the game was so close that it has a potential to get into an overtime. It was only then ruined by the refs. Too bad, we were get robbed of a good game.
The Western conference are in a playoff kind of intensity right now, securing their spots in the playoffs.

The only similarity I can see between gambling and trading are that both can make people earn or lose money from it and risks associated with it. Outside that similarity is a whole bunch of difference.

In gambling your hands are pretty much tied to luck and have no control over the outcome, while trading , you can almost have the outcome as long as you execute a good plan, strategy and effort to make your research.
The most notable thing about gambling is that, you get to enjoy while potentially earning. While trading bears a lot of stress on both mentally and physically. So, to put things into perspective, gambling is much easier way of potentially earning than trading. However, if you're not too careful with gambling, you might end up losing everything in your pocket.

I think everyone has the fair share of this experience even up to this day, and we are all aware of the lesson that should be learnt with this kind of experience. However, everyone choses to just ignore especially when greed takes over. I mean, it may not be totally greed that takes over, but sometimes we think that it is the opportunity of winning more that prevails and so we continue despite of the fact that we are already winning. It's like  striking the iron while still hot or maximizing the winning streak while you're hot.
This has always been one of the classic gambling mistakes of all time.

It's really sad to hear news, stories, articles, and posts in the social media about suicide related to gambling. I mean, I'm more sympathetic to the family because that person was surely loved by his family. He put himself into that situation in the first place and then making it worst by committing suicide when he felt everything is falling apart. I guess, it was his conscience and guilt that's pushing him to do it as he might think his family may have just left him hanging with all those financial burden he made for himself. But, I don't think it would've been the case if he decides to reach out to his family first before making another stupid decision.
Depressions are hard to spot most of the time, so It's really difficult to say one is suffering from it. It's even more difficult if you'd assume they are. There's no easy way to prevent suicidal people from committing suicide if they don't speak and talk to someone. People would not magically assume one is suffering. Far different from the movies.  

If you don't struggle financial, then I don't see any problem from not holding yourself back from wanting to recover loses. However, you need to be responsible enough to know whether you're on a possible addiction or having an excessive gambling habits. We all know watching our favorite sports along are already entertaining. Placing bets to it will add more spice to the entertainment we already have watching. Sometimes the odds are just too good to pass, so we can't hold back to urges even if you're on a winning streak. I think you should always place bets at a minimum so it won't really hurt your much financially in the long run, because the more you add volume to your bets the more you'll get addicted to it and the more you lose as well. So, just stay at the minimum and enjoy the game as is and I can almost guarantee you'll be fine.

3 big important games tonight :

1. Lakers successfully defeated and destroyed the #1 seed in the West with an outstanding over 78% fg made and 15 made 3s in the 1st quarter. I thought they are gonna choked that huge lead again lol.

2. Unfortunate night for the Nuggets as they lost to Pacers by 5 despite of an excellent performance by Jokic. Now, they dropped to #5.

3. Though the Warriors lost against the Rockets, they we're able to claim the #4 spot after the Nuggets defeat. Notable night for the Rockets as they held Curry with just 3 pts.

Things are getting interesting for the Western conference with under 5 games left for most of the teams.

Most of the people will say that based on the experience. I don't think they're wrong though. Because literally, gambling was designed to take our money eventually. It's not that we don't really win, like we lose every time we place a bet. But, it is in the long run that we're looking into.
If someone is really into gambling and very optimistic in winning, then I guess he should change that mindset, otherwise he might end up excessively spending time and money through gambling. We should all remember that gambling is just for entertainment and winning is just a bonus you'll get engaging into it.

3rd quarter just started and they cut the lead to 10. The Lakers will need some major adjustments heading towards the remainder of the regulation. They are struggling offensively. Luka is struggling and the x factor guys. They just need to tighten their defense in the 2nd half and trust their shooters. They also need to create open shoots for them.
And as we speak, Draymond just got his 4th foul in the 3rd with still almost 9 mins in the clock. The Lakers should take advantage of this.
