Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lottery Fever. What are your range of thoughts in response to Lucky Winners?
|
on: April 09, 2024, 07:47:38 PM

I love gambling but I'm against the lottery you mentioned. Because I don't believe now that I will win the lottery. Because if luck favored me then I will win otherwise there is no chance of winning. I never thought I would win the lottery. This is unlikely to happen now as I try to avoid lottery games. If I ever win the lottery, I will never worry that I will win the lottery. Lottery winners are definitely the luckiest people. There are many people who believe in lotteries and buy lotteries regularly but not all will win and it is not possible to win if some don't try.
If you believed that you are not going to win, then you will not simply as that.
Even here in our country, there is a lotto fever, although lately there was a bit of controversy here in the Philippines and I think majority of you know this issue already as it has been discussed here many times. Regardless though, winning lottery is a life changer and that's why it a craze everywhere not just in the US. So for me, why not embrace uncertainty that most of us gamblers love? Who knows, we could be the next big lottery winners in our country. |

Mukhang makuha pa ng 76ers ang rank #6. Laro nila bukas Detroit Pistons lang. Tsaka last 3 games ng Philly puro homecourt na kaya possible sweep ito. Pag mangyari yan ay labanan na naman ng mga teams makuha 2nd spot.  Medyo delikado pa rin ito sa Bucks kasi sila ang number 2 ngayon. Kung purpose talaga nilang mag patalo, baka ganon na rin gawin ng Orlando Magic, NYK, at Cleveland Cavaliers. Mukhang bago tong strategy nila, hehe.. maka iwas lang sa mga magagaliing na teams. Swerte ang Bucks kung babagsak lnag sila sa number 4 kasi home court advantage pa rin, saka maaring Orland, NYK, Cleveland or Pacers makakalaban nila. Basta wag lang sa Miami Heat at Sixers kasi mukhang dehado pa yata sila diyan. Celtics ang susunod na kalaban ng Bucks, kaya iwas iwas muna tayo at nagtatalo sila unless na willing kayong mag take ng risk. Sa West parin talaga maganda, pukpukan sa dulo, Lakers vs Warriors, homecourt advantage pa ang Lakers. Llamado ang Lakers, ganda pa ng handicap sa kanila.. |

Considering we are getting very near the end of the season, every team is trying their best, even teams who are not that great end up playing their best ball in order to get a better seeding, or at least keep their seed. It's important to realize that these are all great players who sometimes have bad periods but when they do play, they are so good.
Klay may have seen like not a great player all season long, at least not the player we remember that well, not the dude with sixty points in three quarters type of game, or thirty seven in one quarter, those are Klay too and what saw this season wasn't that Klay. But he showed this game again that if he needs to be, he can still be that Klay when needed and that's what matters in the playoffs.
Klay is still a great shooter and scorer, and with a player of his caliber, just a matter of time before he catches fire and lately he has been average a decent close to 20 points if I'm not mistaken. He might not be the the prime Klay, but he is still very dangerous at any game and could win the game for them. This is good for the Warriors and their fans to see Klay before the season end becoming the Splash Brother that he is known to be. It's going to be a great match if they and the Lakers are going to face for the play-in. |

Meanwhile, parehas talo ulit sina Bucks at Cavs. Ngayon nasa 3rd and 4th na Magic at Knicks. I guess papatalo mga to sa kanilang next games para di makuha 2nd slot. Same din sa Bucks na parang nagpadrop down ng ranking. 4 losing streak sa Bucks at 3 losing streak naman sa Cavs. Itong Cavs mukhang nag try naman manalo kasi lamang sila kontra sa clippers, yun nga lang nakahabol ang Clippers at natalo pa sila. Pero itong Bucks, mukhang consistent na walang ganang maglaro, papa drop talaga ito para sure ball na ang first round nila. Wala palang laban bukas, review2 nalang sa mga highlights, hehe.. Kaya nga kung titingnan natin ang Bucks, parang hindi maganda ang pagkuha kay Doc Rivers hehehe. Nasa losing skid sila ngayon at nag cho-choke na naman, talagang Doc Rivers ang datingan. Halos lahat nga daw sinisisi ni Rivers pati mga crew nila, pero hindi ang sarili nila. Pag to natalo sa playoffs sa first round talagang laking hinayang ni Giannis na naman nito. |

The fight is taking place next month and once things has been almost constant from when the contracts were signed, the promotion is exceptionally muted. I cannot recall any important heavyweight boxing clash ever receiving less news and promotion. When you consider this is the first heavyweight unification fight since 1999, the silence is baffling.
I do agree, really puzzle me as well as why there are noise on this fight? We've seen more of Mike Tyson being interviewed by media about his fight with Jake Paul? Or they are doing what they have done with the AJ vs Ngannou fight wherein it was also silent until the last minute, then suddenly they have a lot of promotions even creating this so called online games? And base on the odds, almost 50/50, Usyk 1.89/Fury 1.85. |

Just recently discover itong gambling casino na ito sa gcash since hindi ako masyadong nageexplore sa gcash app. Natuwa lang ako dahil yung mga original pinoy game kagaya ng color game, lucky 9 at tongits ay maari mo malaro dati kasama ang ibang online players.
Sobrang nostalgic laruin yung mga ganitong sugal na nilalaro ko nuong medyo bata pa ako kahit na papiso piso bet lng dati. May mga players ba dito namactive sa Bingo plus? Ano mga favorite nyong nilalaro?
Yes, isa ako sa mga naglalaro ng mga games sa bingo plus, slot games, minsan baccarat at ang kina career ko ngayon eh ang lightning roulette ng Evolution. Matagal na tong laro na to sa Gcash at marami pang mga iba't ibang games, katulad ng binanggit mo color game. Meron pa palang isa na games yung crazy time, nanalo isang tropa ko dyan ng $75k. Basta ingat ingat lang, alam natin naman ang dulot nitong gambling na easy access na sa tin. Minsan matatalo ako ng malaki, makakabawi then talo na naman. Tingin ko marami sa tin dito na naglalaro sa Bingo plus na yan. Madami palang laro eto. Kala ko bingo lang. nakita ko na eto sa ads sa tv pinopromote ni maine mendoza at piolo pascual. Ang akala ko ay bingo lang yung parang card game na lalagyan mo ng x kaya hindi ko pinapansin. Masubukan nga baka manalo din ng $75k dollar milyon ang halaga noon sa peso diba para ka na ring nanalo sa lotto ang kaibahan lang piso lang ang taya mo tama ba? Oo kabayan, madaming laro, iba't ibang klase ng slot and card games kaya nakakaenjoy din sya minsan laruin if naghahanap ka ng for past time basta kaya mo lang ilimit yung spending habits lo habang naglalaro, naka connect kasi sa gcash yan kaya madali mag cash in once na maubos yung alloted money mo for gambling. Isa sa mga paborito kong laruin jan ay yun color game, dati kasi sa perya ko lang yun nalalaro pero ngayon digital na, meron nadin sa iba't ibang gambling sites. Sobrang dami talaga at sobrang dami narin ang naaadik sa mga laro sa bingo plus. Yung mga laro na makikita nyo sa land base casinos natin kung nagpupunta kayo (RW, Solaire, COD) ay lahat ay accessible na. Kaya wag na tayong magtaka kung bakit daming nasisirang ulo na mga Pinoy ngayon kakasugal hehehe. Kahit ordinaryong tao sa kalye talagang maaadict na. Dami ko narin nakitang ganyan dito sa min na nalulong na. |

Do you guys have other solutions to this kind of problem? Because that's all I can think of. He will probably lay low for a month or two but he will be back to gambling again.
The only solution here is to go to rehab, there is no amount of persuasion and talk to this person to change and make a U-turn. However, as you have said, he is now missing, but once he goes home again, then at least some family members will have to talk and some form of intervention. But I don't know in our country, there could be a lot of rehabilitation facilities but it can cost money as well if you enter him. But at least that is the only way for him to stay away from gambling and maybe it will really help him a lot. There will be a lot of time for him to think it over while he was in the rehab. |

PJ Washington Jr.!!! Yeah! Step up your game!
Dallas Mavericks won against the Golden State Warriors in a teeth-clenching game. PJ scored 32 tonight and the last basket was made by him so I guess he is the hero for the Mavs. Good defense against Steph Curry too avoiding that three-point shot because he was damn hot and he had been scoring the last possessions for the Warriors.
The defensive play was right, double Curry, rotate the defense, and Klay had a hard time to set his feet for the last shot so he missed it.
Good win for the Mavs even without Luka. Kai being a leader is so fun to watch, I really like how is playing when he went to the Mavs. 13 wins out of 15. So strong.
Haven't seen the game as I don't have any bet, but if the Warriors lost without Luka then that is a big blow for them. The Warriors are in a momentum, have a winning streak and has a great chance to extend it today. But I guess they might be tired about that big win against Houston and thinking that they could be really in the play-in. Just a matter who will be their opponent. I will have to check the highlights though. |

Lets take a look at the family aspect of everyone gambling and try to give our individual opinions concerning these questions i will like us to discuss from regarding how we are gambling and how that can affect the family for the benefits of those already having one and those that will soon be in the league of a family man, lets make it as simple as possible in giving our earnest contributions on our take from this following questions i have for us.
1. At what age will you allow your child to start gambling? that is if you will even allow for that at all?
As a parent and as a gambler and knowing the consequences of bad gambling habits, obviously, you don't what your children to fall for it. 2. At what age do you see yourself quit gambling? that is also if some of us are going to ever do so?
I don't see myself quitting, I mean I have gone into a stage wherein I don't see myself as a gambling addict. Yeah, sometimes I bet more than I can afford to lose but it's just for fun and I know that I will be ok. 3. Ever since you have started gambling, have you ever achieve a satisfying level that makes you think it has good impact on you?
Yeah, when I win big in a casino and at the same time having fun with families and friends playing along. 4. Would you have missed out on anything if you were not a gambler?
Maybe going and playing on land base casinos, still very experience and seeing some familiar faces and even strike a conversation with them. |

Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The person who can’t control emotions in gambling will never earn money from it
|
on: April 05, 2024, 12:37:11 PM

Emotions is one factor in gambling that can’t be overemphasized but the truth is that, there are several factors that contributes to emotional plays during gambling and those’re also a lot of things that trigger emotions in gambling. It is also worth making it plain that both winning and losing can trigger losing in gambling and what truly matter in most cases is having a laid principles( strategies ) and deciding to steak to it for a longer time even when things don’t go well and rather than doing things out of panic, you’re unshaken by the happenings.
I’ve seen people that can’t control their emotions in gambling and yet are doing just fine in the industry and maybe you can call it their luck working for them and it seems they have a strict principles and gamble within their range and this don’t get panic by losses but only triggered to stay focus and figure out problems and proceeding a solution for it .
Exactly, and this is what I have been saying before, gambling is all about emotions, all emotions known to man, you will be affected and might fall for the trick on playing. And specially that online casino are everywhere, you don't know to go to brick and mortar casino to scratch your itch, in just less than 5 minutes and you can start playing. So if someone who are emotionally like to play everything and doesn't have any control of it, there are only one way to happen, be a addicted gambler. And so with that, if there are still time and our mind is not clouded yet by gambling thoughts, we should at least learn how control it. The most important thing is to be furious and "be able to slap yourself mentally in the face to come to your senses." I've been able to control myself so well for a long time, and now people who don't know how to control themselves, who experience Tilt, look pretty weak and pathetic to me. Probably everyone who has gone through defeats and reflection has realized that nothing can be achieved in gambling, and trading, too, without self-control. It is even better if there is some kind of internal strategy that guides the player in gambling like a compass. If we add luck to these qualities, then victories and a good result will not take long in gambling. In any form. I like that strategy, but for me, I just try to walk it out first, when winning or losing and then about the consequence is I will go and continue or not. And so sometimes, I will say that I make the right decision to just not to continue and exit or withdraw my winnings. Or if I'm in the land base casinos, I will force my wife and tell her that we should go won and not go and gamble my winnings as it is really very difficult to get money from casino or be lucky that night. And then just think about it when we go home and we can say both say that yes, we made the right choice and then we enjoy our winnings in the morning or go out with the kids and have some fun. |

The Warriors came through for sure with a big win. I figured they would. Any time a team makes it personal you can expect them to give more effort than usual. I didn’t look at the Dallas stats yet but they shouldn’t need much to have won that game. I’m glad I took home a W for the day. Until tomorrow…
They are unstoppable now and everyone are doing their fair share. 23 point victory over the Rockets, that's a huge statement. And what's impressive about their performance is that Klay Thompson was activated in this game, (the real Klay), made 29 points but was 7-11 beyond the arc. If he can play like this consistently in the play-in, I have no doubt tha the Warriors will still be a championship team. Sorry for the Rockets, they are out now.  The Dub nation fans definitely could not have wanted their Splash brothers back in a better time than this, at they very end of the season fighting for it all, and if that shows anything, it just shows that the team can come through under any form of pressure and whatever is on the line, they can still put fear into any of the top seeded teams. Although the Curry-Klay-Draymond dynasty is coming to an end imminently, but could they still have one more push to go deep into the post season right ? A win over Houston Rockets has almost guaranteed them a play-in tournament at the very least. Yep, I got them -3.5, was thinking to get at least -5.5 but I just wanted to be conservative as I was coming from a lost when I bet on the Knicks. And with this one, they assure themselves of the a spot in the play-in. Although there are still 6 games in their calendar, maybe they have just to win at half of it and goes to the play-in. Not bad for the Rockets though, this is just like a test for themselves as we could expect good things for them next season. |

Yeah, I think everyone here has his share of stories, been gambling for more than a decade or so, and it was just on playing land base casinos that I really turn into addict as I will skip office, or during office hours we will go to the casino as it is near and spend like a hour and then go back to the office and after that visit again. So I don't know how much money I lost until one day, our client suddenly didn't renew the contract with my company and so I don't have a job that time. And it's hard to bring food in the table for my family. And looking back I regret what I have done that time. Although I still continue and gamble, it's just a chump chance as compare when I was really addicted to gambling and my favorite game is slot machines.

Lagot natalo pa Pacers sa homecourt ng Nets. Buti na lang nanalo Miami kahapon at balik na sila sa 6th spot. Kaya maganda panoorin bukas laro ng Miami at Philly. Balik na si Embiid pero homecourt ng Miami. May chance pa sina Embiid na makakuha ng 6th spot pero dapat di rin patalo Miami dahil isang talo lang laglag ulit sila sa 7th spot. Talpak ako dito sa Miami -2.5.
Bukas mukhang final hope na talaga ng Rockets. Nasa homecourt sila pero 5 winning streak naman GSW. Pag matalo Rockets dito malabo na nila mapabagsak GSW sa 10th spot. Kaya talpakan ko na si kabayan Jalen Green +3.5.
Iwas muna ako dyan sa Sixers at Heat bukas bai, napaka-delikado kasi ng Sixers sa ngayon kasi balik laro na si Embiid. "Abay lang ko sa imong Rockets ugma hehe". Pero kahit na matalo yong Warriors bukas, malabo pa ring makasama sa play-in yong Rockets kasi medyo malaki na yong lamang ng Warriors sa Rockets doon sa standings. Nananalo naman ang Warriors bai, ganda ng pag block ni Green kay Gafford, yun lang talaga pag nag focus si Green laking tulong mentally sa Warriors dahil isa sya sa mga leaders talaga. So lyamado na ang Warriors laban sa Houston bukas, maganda sana nanalo ang Houston para magandang laban to. -3.5 ako sa Warriors @1.86. Malalaman natin bukas yan kung sino sa kanilang dalawa ang mananalo, sana lang laban talaga yung mangyari kasi delikado kung manipulado yung laban hahaha, lamang na rin kasi yung GSW medyo malayo na din yung agwatan nagkasunod sunod yung panalo ng GSW tapos dalawang sunod na talo naman yung Rockets kaya umabante na ng tatlong panalo ang Warriors kaya lamado na sila para sa playin. Gusto ko tong taya mo kabayan sana kagaya ng inilaro ni Green kontra Mavs, sakto yung boost nya para ipanalo yung laban, sabi nga ni Luka iba yung experience ng Warriors kaya hindi sila pwedeng balewalain hanggat nasa linya pa rin sila. Naka tsamba lang tayo, tinambakan na ng Warriors ang Houston at ito na ang huling pisi ng Rockets. Mainit si Klay Thompson sa laro na to, pero dapat maging consistent sya sa play-in kung gusto nilang makapasok sa playoff. Pero kahit natalo ang Rockets dito, baka next year kakaibang Rockets ang makikita natin. |

Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Subriel Matias VS Liam Paro IBF Super Lightweight June 15th Manati, Puerto Rico.
|
on: April 04, 2024, 01:42:20 PM

A couple of years ago Paro was already ranked #1 by the WBO. I thought he was going to fight for the vacant belt when Josh was thinking of moving up in weight. But later on Teofimo replaced him at #1 and then fought and won the belt. Paro is fucked up in the rankings and even dropped outside the top 10 in the WBO's March ranking. Now he is finally getting his title shot but in an odd way, he is travelling to Puerto Rico where it is rare to see travelers win. I'm rooting for him but I guess he will get KO'd here. Hopefully, there is no Rican official in the fight to make it fair.
If my memory serves me right, he suffered a injury for more than year, then come back and fight Montana Love late last year. And so with that win, he is line up to fight Matias for the IBF title and it's good to see him back and given the chance at the belt. Going to be a great fight, Matias name is hype right now, but this is going to be a big test for him as Paro is also a heavy hitter with more than 60%+ knockout ratio. I guess his team is willing to travel to PR not known to be a hostile country though, so I guess the risk is worth for Paro. |

Definitely, the digital wave exists. Disruptions are sweeping traditional models. Land-based casinos go beyond gambling. The tactile experience they provide is unmatched by apps. Poker face-off tension, chip weight, and air electricity can't be recreated with a mouse click
Casinos must evolve, not just survive. Their physical space is distinctive. Real-world interactions and belonging are wired into us. Leverage that. Integrating digital and physical elements. Imagine a real-world casino with VR installations and interactive tables for traditional games
It's obvious that it has evolved already, from the very first slot machines to the modern one wherein the experience is very different. And then we have VR coming in maybe in the next 5 years so like virtually you are there in the casino and playing and sitting along with others. Online casinos are convenient. Let's stop assuming they'll replace the actual thing's excitement. Both are gambling's future. Land-based casinos will create events so amazing you want to be there. This innovation will keep them current and provide an experience the digital world can't match
Yes, they are convenient, specially during the pandemic. But since land base are open now, I think it will continue to survived even if there is a big challenge from online gamblers. Sometimes those old habits are hard to break and as long as gamblers are willing to go out and have the ambience and the feeling of being inside a casino, they will continue to exist. |

https://nypost.com/2023/01/15/gambler-loses-massive-1-4-million-bet-on-chargers-jaguars-game/One bettor wasted a massive $1.4 million wager after betting on Los Angeles before the Jaguars mounted an epic comeback to beat the Chargers 31-30, according to Action Network’s Darren Rovell. It seems that a gambler has loss this massive amount (1.4 million USD) playing a bet with an odds lower than 1.01! (exactly 1.008) I think there are several lessons here: - there is not easy bet! even lower odds there is always a risk. - it's really risky playing an huge amount. This not helps gambler because the risk is much much higher then rewards! - gambling is not easy at all! it's really hard achieve a profit even for easy games! what your opinion about this gambling issue? did you had experience similar experience? how a good gambler should avoid such mistakes? In my opinion, with such low odds, you can lose your deposit not so slowly. I have never liked such odds, because you can lose everything and, most importantly, if you win, we get very little. I never bet like this and I don’t advise other players to bet with these odds; in my opinion, it’s absolutely pointless. I am sure that such players think that they are smarter than everyone else, and that he will bet 1 million all his life on small odds to win, but this will definitely come to an end. This player simply did not want to believe it and the situation that happened to him simply showed him that he is not the smartest here. It would be better if he put the money at a small percentage of return, and not engage in such nonsense, although we all know that banks also have a chance of default and there is no good place anywhere so that there is no minimum risk. Who would like that odds? I mean 1.01? I will never bet on that kind of odds as there are still chances to lose that one and that's what happen here to this big whales who think that he can out smart or he is just so unlucky and lose it. And it just shows how sports betting it, we don't know what will be the outcome even if the spread is that huge as any teams can make a huge comeback and that's what happen here, just a point is enough for the Jaguars to win. |
