Take casino games for example especially jackpot casino games there is no way you can tell me that all of them are structured in such a way that they randomly always make money for the house if you ask me gambling is a fraud that has been used to trick people into believing that their choices matter it does not everyone that gambles is just there to make money for the casino unfortunately there is nothing that can be done about human nature 💔💔💔
I just don't understand when casinos have the house edge and RTP set on their games, why shouldn't they play fair games. They don't make money randomly from the house, they make money long-term from the house, i.e. mathematically casinos are guaranteed to profit long-term because of the house edge while short term, it's not predictable whether you win or casino wins, that means that one day you might hit the jackpot and win lots of money but if you continue gambling and don't stop there, then you will eventually lose. So, play for fun and if you can't get, do some other activities.

That's how casino works,

they earn from each gambler who play and use their services, though you are right that there's time that you may win
huge but if you continue playing back casino will still wins in the long run.

Casino is a business and those who are facilitating knows how they find ways to keep those earnings. Same with what you said,
play for fun and not to expect that much.

Great game between the Bulls and the Raptors. Bulls take a good lead for much of the game. But the Raptors came back in the last quarter and leading. They have played a great defense specially against DeRozan, they doubling teaming him with big guys so DeRozan will have to pass.

It could be another hard breaking lost for the Bulls, they can't keep those lead while allowing their opponents to score easy basket. Zach Lavine didn't play though, but it seems that he will be traded before the deadline in February.

Well, the trade rumors might possibly to happen the only question is what team will land him, in regard to the game against the Raptors,
another upset which they almost have it but lose that grasp in the final quarter.

Not good seeing them letting those leads and letting the game being dominated by the rally of their opponents but they can't control the
situation and things happened, just need that proper adjustments to avoid it to happen again.

I think everyone has their own way that they think will work, I am the type of person who doesn't like getting into philosophical thing if it is unnecessary, so I never think about desiring money. What's work for me is arranging my priority, for me the only way to get rich investing and saving, and both can only be done if I can minimize my spending and spare some money to be saved and invested.

Which the common practices that we need, saving then investing will allow you to grow your finances, people who understand those things are
the one who are really keen in achieving such goals.

You need to work with your better understanding there are many things that you need to sacrifice for now most are those leisure that you
can do but because you wanted to have a better life, you'll choose to save your money and start investing.

Just wanna share that I'm watching today's game, Pacers vs Suns. Booker has already scored 29 points in the first quarter. It seems like this game is a tribute to the late Kobe Bryant as today marks the 4th anniversary of Kobe Bryant's passing. It's possible that Devin Booker could score 82+ points today. What do you think? Anyone watching the game today?

Edit: Luka Doncic is also dominating with 40+ points in the first half, while Booker has scored 37 points in the 1st half.

Pacers will give him a hard time as they know how to play good defense, but if the set game play design for him to make that tribute why not?

Booker is a well-known killer he will take every opportunity that Pacer will give him, I think he will do everything
to make his Idol proud, though the priority still winning the game.

Let's see 2 more quarters, and still have enough time for him if he will keep shooting and keeps making good baskets.

So kailangan ko ulit today mag cashout for my  bills. Meron na ba kayong alternative na hindi 3% to 5% ang bawas? Maybe this is my last time mag cashout using Binance pero sana hindi. Need ko rin mag DCA habang bumaba presyo ng bitcoin.

Baka next week simulan ko nang e-widraw lahat ng pondo sa Binance. Hahays, undecided pa rin ako sa mga small holdings like $100 to $200 na mga altcoin holdings. Tsaka ngayong bitcoin halving year na mas gusto ko magtambay ng mga funds sa isang exchange para anytime pwede bumili at mag-sell kung meron mga opportunities.

Oo nga eh sayang yung timing, ngayon kasi magandang nakaabang na yung mga coin investment para madali lang laruin yung position
mapa buy or sell maganda meron ka na agad na nakapwesto.

ilang linggo na lang yung palugit at wala pa rin akong naririnig na update kung ano ang magiging action ng binance sa palugit na binigay ng SEC
baka balewala na lang ata sa kanila sayang yung naging business nila dito sa tin pero syempre need nila mag comply sa gobyerno natin.
6  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Short Term Trading Altcoins and Meme Coins? on: January 22, 2024, 06:25:55 AM
Not sure if what knowledge can do in meme coins since all of them are the same. But maybe it helps us to be aware if what meme coins are going to get pumped and if how long we are going to HODL them. It gives us a gut as well to take a risk on them. Any cryptos can fall anytime without prior notice. It's just that meme coins can hardly recover anymore.

There are also whales in non-meme coins but it's just that meme coins are more easier to manipulate. But, a lot of us who invest in non-meme coins can still suffer due to the whales. Their main intention is to profit and not to play but sometimes they need to disrupt our thinking if they experience some difficulties or if they want to earn more.
Meme coins should be avoided, even if we were to consider the massive profits an investor could obtain by putting their money on the correct coin, the risk will still not be worth it.

Since there is not really any way to predict which one of those coins will experiment such growth, and while there are many investors out there that claim to know this information, they are either lying or overestimating their capabilities, as most of the time the only differences between a successful meme coin and the hundreds of failed coins that exist is a nice name and an effective marketing campaign.

As the hype manage to attract investors and traders plus those whales who will going to move the market, they will earn those attentions and will
manage to make money around the market.

It's hard to say if what coin will succeed and what coin will fail after being introduced in the wild market, no one can accurately confirm that.

So-called experts most of the time predict things and if the community will follow then they might get that good call, but if the community
will not be there to support, then it's just another call to forget and move on.
7  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The PCSO Lotto is shrouded in doubt due to the picture of the winner shown on: January 22, 2024, 06:01:44 AM
Well, PCSO just admitted that photo was intentionally edited for security purposes but the only problem here is that the editor seems too confident of what he did to that photo that draws the whole nations attention. It's like removing the background of the main photo and then changing it with another one. As a result it looks funny can create doubts. 😅

Yup! That was aired on the news the last time, funny to think that they have a lot of money but can't afford to hire a professional digital and photo editor, even a high school student nowadays can even edit clearly than their editors. Seems like they don't have one, knowing that they are one of the richest governement agency. They literally make fun of themselves, I don't know if it's intentional so that they can be talked about more on social media or what. Well, until now most Filipinos still don't believe that there is a winner of the winning jackpot prize because if there is, it will resonate on social media and everyone will recognize who the winner is.

You said it right, or maybe the one who did this wanted to share something indirectly, maybe he did what he shows up to be notice and now
there's controversy circulating inside the agency.

We can't tell what the possibilities are but who knows? maybe this person who edited the picture wanted to bring this anomaly in public.

Now, that there's issue and there is investigation that circulating around, we might know what's the truth behind this edited picture
and who are those behind it.

This time, they were up against the defending champion and it's going to hurt to see them losing at very close game again and snapping their winning streak at home.

They were up but not really in control of the game. I can't remember they were up double digit against the Nuggets, so I find it a close game. Murray as what we've seen is the most consistent guy on the Nuggets roster, without him, they won't be able to hand the Celtcis their first lose this season.

But don't worry, they already made a history for the season's best start in the Celtics franchise. A lose is a lose, there's nothing we can do about it and its not really a surprise because they're up against the defending champion.

Indeed, there's nothing that they can do to change the outcome but instead, they can work it out and find that missing piece to make it better
on their next upcoming games.

I like the way they are playing the game, but we all know that it is the defending champ that they are facing, maybe a possible head-to-head for the finals.

Just my own cent though, but very possible if both teams will perform and continue winning their games.
9  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Tataas Kaya Ang Awareness Ng MgaTao Sa Bitcoin Kung May Mga Billboard on: January 19, 2024, 04:15:24 PM
It's known na effective ang billboard for promotion. Not only in crypto pero sa lahat ng bagay lalo na sa gusto mag papansin. Billboard + Social media is proven effective dito sa crypto space at sa mga nag coclout chase like the example, Xian Gaza. Maraming nag pa billboard last bull market tungkol sa cryptocurrency. If active ka sa NFT trend last bull market is sobrang dami nag papabillboard ng NFT's nila, iba iba yung purpose pero ang alam most common purpose na napansin ko is for whitelisting. Meron din akong nakitang Gamefi projects na nag pa billboard last bull market, mostly before sila mag release ng game nila and of course for promoting it on social media.

If gagawin siguro yung billboard promotion for bitcoin, I think it's better to combine billboard + social media since it will be new for us pinoy to promote bitcoin solely. People will be struck by curiosity pag nakita nila yung billboard or social media post of a billboard about bitcoin.
Yes kabayan sa tingin ko yan nga talaga ang pinakadabest billboard + social media advertising tiyak na makakarating talaga sa mga kapatid nating medyo hindi alam or may duda pa kay Bitcoin lalo na ngayong nag-umpisa nang magdominate ang Bitcoin ETF.

Powerful combination yan kung sakaling may mag initiate nyan yung mga tipong kayang gumastos ng malaki tapos gagawa ng vlog para lalong magkaroon ng back up yung billboard na ipapagawa nya.

Hindi ko lang sure kung meron ngang maglalabas ng malaking halaga kasi alam naman natin ang halaga nyan, malalaking kumpanya at mga kilalang
mga personalidad malay natin pulitikong gaya ni Pacman, mabigat na pangalan yan kaya malamang merong makakapansin.

How about the Jazz losing to OKC, which snapped their winning streak?

I saw how good OKC is at making adjustments. Although they were able to lead by as much as 19 points early on, the Jazz came back to make it a close game. However, OKC continued to play hard, not allowing the Jazz to take the lead. In fact, they never led in the game.


They were young teams that could take their roles quickly when given instructions and one of the teams that will gonna probably play in the NBA playoffs this year. perhaps if they can only be consistent with this kind of play with the same star players these coming seasons, they will become the next Boston Celtics which will gonna be strong contenders and hard to beat at their home court. As for the Jazz, considering they were able to climb up to the number 9 spot despite their struggles in the early season, it could be that they will gonna stay at that spot unless they can improve their play when facing strong teams in their next games.

They were able to beat strong teams before their winning streak was snapped. If we go back to their record, we can see they beat the Sixers, Bucks and Denver. Winning against the Denver which is a defending champion is already enough to conclude that they are a strong team, although young and lack of experience.  A lost of OKC should not be a factor to conclude that they have no chance in the playoffs, this team are playing good basketball, everyone in the team are ccontributing, so let's be optimistic with this team. 

Indeed, beating both Bucks and sixers which is really hot in the east while the Denver as you mentioned the current title holder, those 3 teams
that they beats gives them a credit that they are really doing good.

They might be still a young squad but if they keep that confidence and keep that type of game that they are executing, the winning chance is better.

A lost is a lost and they just need to focus on their next game, try to win back and continue playing great.
11  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The PCSO Lotto is shrouded in doubt due to the picture of the winner shown on: January 19, 2024, 03:43:18 PM
Now the picture has become a laughing stock and the lady become a meme just look on these pictures.
This is what we are, we just make fun of some controversies even if they're serious because we can't do anything with it. The officials are actually the laughing stock on this matter but they're just trying to defend on it and the general manager even said that their agency(PCSO) isn't really good at editing and that's not a matter because they're just trying to hide and protect the actual winner. I am waiting for the senate inquiry if they're going to be firm on their investigation on this one and if there will be corrupt officials that will be caught on this unusual high prized lottery that can be part of the guinness.  Grin

A winner from E-lotto online something that adds up the doubt from those bettors, now, that the senate is really eager to know who's that girl
and if there's a connection with her and those corrupt officials inside PCSO.

It will take some time as PCSO needs to reveal her real identity and one of the senator who wanted to know the truth is willing to hire private
detectives to know the connection if there's something behind.

A serious matter that being use for memes though it's important to know if that's for real or not.

September is the last decline this year so far, because in October and November Bitcoin and the market continued to rise, but at the end of this month there are still more than 20 days left, we will not know whether Bitcoin will continue to rise or will fall.
buying now and building your portfolio is not a bad thing.


and currently bitcoin is experiencing a decline, I think this is normal because it has been almost 1 quarter that bitcoin has continued to rise, there is news that microstrategy sold some of their btc before the halving and other things that caused bitcoin to fall.

Just another cycle that holders and traders needs to overcome, with the current decline those who are hoping to hold more can now buy more
coins and store it in their safe wallet.

Not easy though as the market keep declining and for sure there are panics that put more pressure inside the market.

It's more on how you react and decide when you see something like this, opportunity for those believers while for those short term players
it's something that they needed to work and re-assess.
13  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The PCSO Lotto is shrouded in doubt due to the picture of the winner shown on: January 18, 2024, 11:57:45 PM
As we can see in the picture, it appears to be just an edited version, casting doubt on whether there was a genuine winner or if corrupt officials inside are attempting to claim the victory using that picture as evidence.

What's your thought about that picture, is it real or edicted?

It's an edited image 100%. I just wondered why PCSO would do such a thing if they can just take simply take a pic of the real winner. Huh

I don't doubt the legitimacy of the PCSO lottery but hyping the jackpot intentionally is a clear cheating as it was a form of manipulation.

Try to watch the ongoing investigation of the Senate here and try to conclude out of it.

With that move from PCSO, they are now being questioned and this controversy will create doubt with how the lottery are being managed,
if the person is for real, they can take a picture and they can simply hide the real face.

But with this editing thing, that really bring the attention and now being summon inside the senate, not sure if how they can enlighten
the people here and how they will provide their explanation about it.

It's going to be an in-depth investigtion as the amount of the pot money is really huge.
14  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: January 18, 2024, 11:48:02 PM
Pascal is definitely going to be a very big asset for the Indiana Pacers. In my opinion, he is going to contribute to the team a lot as well. So I think it is easy to say that this was a win for the Indiana Pacers. I think we can also say any doubt that the player is also in his prime time, right? At least that's what I think when I consider his age. Yes I cant deny sometimes the performance from the Indiana pacers has been a little inconsistent in recent times. however I think they have the capability of improving the performance and being a lot more consistent.
It was a good decision for the Indiana Pacers. Having Pascal added on their roster makes them more relevant and even stronger. We've got another team to watch out and let's see how is this going to change their current rank from overall #7 and #7 as well on the Eastern conference.

Yes indeed, Siakam is something who can really bring those productions that Pacers needed, I just hope that he can quickly connect
his skills with the rest of his new teammates.

It's interesting to see if how they will manage now to keep their position and have that drive to move forward to the next round.

Quote
I also think that Pascal was because the team was very interested in him, an surely  this was a good decision. Now if this was a good decision or not for the team, we will be able to know that later by watching him perform.
Maybe it was long overdue and Indiana really eyes him for a long time. When most of the teammates that he's got during their championship days have been scattered in every team in the league.

Raptors surely got attracted with those first round picks that Pacers offered to them, like you mentioned, all the star players during that
season that they become champions are all gone,

It's about time for Siakam and the Raptors to decide and now is the best timing for them, what will be the outcome still unknown, only
time can tell if which side will be the benefactors of this trade.

Maraming laro mamaya sa NBA at nakataya na ba kayo mga kabayan? sa tingin nyu ba mananalo ba ang Atlanta Hawks laban sa Orlando Magic, tinalo sila nito nakaraan. Isa rin pala ako sa nadali sa Atlanta Hawks laban nila sa Indiana Pacers, siya lang ang sumira sa parlay na ginawa ko.

Ito pala yung ginawa ko na parlay, sa tingin nyu ba may pag asa ito manalo?

Milwaukee Bucks
Dallas Mavericks +6
Brooklyn Nets
Atlanta Hawks
New York Knicks -3
Miami Heat -1.5


Madaming kakaibang nangyayari sa mga laro ngayon sa NBA kaya medyo nag aalangan ako magtataya, medyo maalat nung mga nakaraan
kaya iwas muna at tamang nuod nuod na lang muna.

Tsaka na ko tataya ulit pag medyo maayos ayos na yung pulso ko sa pagaabang ng medyo maayos ayos na laro, tsaka pag maganda na yung habulan
sa positioning ng mga team.

hindi ko na napansin mga results ng mga game na yan hindi ko alam ko pinalad ka ba.

The truth remains the truth. Despite your wining or Lossing if you play too much than normal average, you are addicted to gambling. Note it's addiction and not irresponsible, you can be addicted and still plays very responsible. And not all gambling addict are losers or experience loss than winning. I know of several addict that have bought cars and built houses off money from gambling. Addiction is I just a feeling that gets you attracted and would make you want to play all the time. So yes no matter outcome of his betting, let's call a spade, a spade.

It might be the case that they started with more money than what they got out though...

It could be that they would have been able to buy two cars lets say...

People often omit the parts where they lose gambling, and only conveniently share their wins..

Common practice of those people who pretends that they are really good and they always making money but the truth behind is they are
just sharing the numbers of their wins but never to share the numbers of losses.

I agree that there are some gamblers who make money out from their experienced, they managed to take care of their strategy and they'll able to follow the right patterns.

More on how they can take care of their finances and a good control in balancing time and bankroll.

Comeback of the year for the Suns against the Kings I think. This just after the Dame dagger against the Bucks the other night. Durant closed out the win with a couple free throws but it took one hell of a comeback in order to win this one. Good for the Suns. Glad to see Durant had the ball at the end too.

Kings lead I think 23 points in the 4th quarter and yet Suns were still able to comeback. They had some great offense but for this to happen to them twice, I think they have to figure out how to play great defense.

Suns knows they are down big but they didn't stop playing, specially Durant who made some clutch shots and with the help of some role players. Overall, it's fun to watch but it's just a big disappointing seeing the Suns not showing maturity in the game.

True, it's not good for the fans and for those who bets for them, that a huge lead that they let go during the last quarter, I was in the impression
that Suns will just let it go and let Kings to enjoy the road game win.

But just like what you said, KD show up and lead the offense and together with all those role players who are also helping him both sides.

It's a great comeback and it happened in front of all those fans and supporters who surely enjoy and love the game they watched.

its price have rebounded with remarkable price and even indicates that its growth may keep continue for whole year

I expect dump due to huge unlock that's coming in March [1], and more unlocks every 4 weeks after that. We are in bullish market and these unlocks have bearish impact, I'm not sure who will win here but I sold portion of ARB received from airdrop few days ago. It was surprisingly perfect moment to sell, cause it dumped shortly after. 




[1] https://defillama.com/unlocks/arbitrum


That's a good timing, as there is impact when numbers of coins show up inside the market, people like you who manage to earn this coin from
the airdrop may have that same sentiments.

They can dump those rewards and it will affect the value of this coin, though just the same with what you said, we don't know who's going to
win and enjoy in the long process, maybe the team behind this project have added plan for the future of this coin.

We never know what it can be, more on the side of your instinct and trust with how the project will bring you benefits that you desire.

Here no one will directly tell you that you invest in this coin it's up to you because currency investment is very risky that's why no one will tell you that you invest in it but BNB is very good coin if you can invest maybe you will get good return in future

Yeah right, and you should not be listening aside from your own research and study, if you'll going to blindly follow those advise chances
to lose is always possible, but with good understanding and good DYOR you have a better chance to earn.

The deal is you need to work with how market will move forward, there are always open opportunities especially with the asset that already have good support inside the market.

It's a matter of good timing and how you will manifest with your own research and investigation to predict the best position to place your investment.

Oo pag trade lang paunti-unti so far so good naman din si kucoin at parang itong exchange nato ang gagamitin ko kapalit kay binance kung mawawalan na talaga tayo ng access sa kanya. Pero hindi rin kalakihan yung existing balance ko dun at kung gusto mo e try si kucoin din take extra precaution nalang din pero so far goods naman din ang reputation nito base sa nababasa ko online.
User din ang ng kucoin, pero hindi ba ito kasama sa mga list ng exchange na mababan sa atin? Maintarget nila is Binance sa pag ban pero ang alam ko may list sila at lahat ng unregistered ang balak nila iban. Mag stay lang talaga yung local exchange na registered sa atin.

Pero okay din sana kung hindi masasama itong Kucoin dahil may p2p dito. At least may way pa para makaiwas sa mataas na fees at mahabang process sa pagwithdraw ng crypto.

Hindi ko din alam to kung may ganitong list salamat at naiopen mo kasi isa din sa tinitignan kong CEX itong Kucoin maganda rin kasi yung mga review
kaya lang kung masasama naman sa listahan ng maba-ban sayang naman din.

Wala pa rin atang update kung ano gagawin ng binance, dapat samantalahin ng coins.ph yung opportunity na ganito para makahatak sila ng mas
maraming users, baka need lang nila mag adjust sa sobrang paghihigpit or need nilang maipalawanag ng maayos.

Baka kasi kung magluluwag sila ng kaunti at medyo maipapaunawa nila yung mga retriction ng maayos eh baka meron naman na magbalikan
na mga old users nila.
