Re: [NEWS]Lawmakers proposes social media contributes to gambling treatment
in Gambling discussion
That is the big question here, how can the government of Indonesia mandated this big social media outlets to contribute to gambling addiction?

Unless they have local online or traditional base casinos that they can go after and have them pay bigger money for let's say building a rehab for gambling addicts? So there's more question that answers here.

Maybe our big Indonesian community can chime in as how their government can do it very big task.

Re: My friends gamble so if I spend most of my time with them why would I gamble
in Gambling discussion
If you are with a coal miner you will get ink. If you are with a wise person you will gain a lot of knowledge. So it is not unusual to become addicted to drugs if you are with a drug addict. Isn't it? Most of the time we follow others so we study what happens around us, right?

Of course, "birds of a feather flock together" as the saying goes. So if you are with a gambler, for sure you might be influence by it and be a gambler too. So it's very dangerous thread to have friends that gamble and you don't like too.

What happens? if you see them getting addicted and their lives getting rekt so it's better to get out of that circle. It might be hard but you don't like that to rub into you specially if you are still very young and have a lot of friends. Gambling will surely affect your life in a negative way so it's better to stay away from the circle.

Re: The harmful effects of gambling
in Gambling discussion
Gambling can quickly become a habit, so everyone should be aware of these harmful aspects.

Gambling with borrowed money.

This one, I will say that I have been a victim of this, or at least in the beginning, I thought that I can used this strategy, taking a banking loan so that I can fuel my gambling addiction during that time.

But I have learn the hard lessons that this is really bad as if you lose the money, then you will have to work very hard so that you can pay that loan from banks. But that was a long time ago, I learned from it and that I have recover from that kind of mindset already.

Re: [Boxing] Ryan Garcia vs Conor Benn - WBC Welterweight Title - August
in Gambling discussion
Ryan was also supposed to be fighting Haney and Teofimo, so I’ll believe this news when there is an official announcement and not a social media post. Conor Benn has had some great marketing to be where he is at because he is certainly not being paid over $15 million per fight due to his abilities. He is not an elite fighter, he is a guy with a famous name. Ryan is taking an easy payday instead of finding the toughest challenge. This will be the third straight cherry pick for him. I can’t say I expected anything better, but it’s still disappointing seeing him following the same path as Gervonta Davis.

Maybe Ryan needs another win so that they can set up a fight with Haney. It was supposedly that Ryan winning over Romero and then him and Haney fighting. But it looks like it needs to be push through because he has lost that fight.

Now he takes a fight with Benn, yeah, his last name might be famous because of his father. So it looks like Ryan is banking on it to create another hype fight and easy money. So if he wins here than Haney and Garcia for a rematch with a bigger paycheck. It's all about the business for this boxers now.

Re: 2026 NBA Season
in Gambling discussion
Steph is having a terrible game. He’s running out of time to get something going. On the last play of the third quarter he messed up his coverage three times and gave his man a wide open three pointer. Not a good sign going into the fourth…
I didn’t expect this from the Golden State Warriors. Just like the Hornets, their offense is also quiet. I thought they could still catch up in the 4th quarter, but it didn’t happen. The 4th got messed up, shots weren’t going in, even inside the paint, and passes kept getting intercepted. The Phoenix Suns had a total of 14 steals and they couldn’t answer Jalen Green’s offense. Anyway, even if the Warriors manage to get in, they would most likely be a first round exit anyway. Better luck next season and get Giannis or Lebron.

They are so terrible and if you look at first to 4th quarter they only manage to heat up on 2nd quarter. Curry's FG percentage is also terrible and this is the reason why they have been eliminated on Play-ins.

Such huge heartbreak for the fans of Warriors, since many really think they have great chance to defeat Suns. But Jaylen Green heat things up and they manage to win against Warriors then advance on playoffs.

Many also thought that its going to be OKC vs Warriors in Playoffs, but Warriors didn't meet that expectation.

Yes, it's a big let down for the fans of the Warriors, and even here almost everyone has written of the Suns as they are known to choke on big games. But here, it was the other way around, the Warriors didn't have a good start to begin with, while the Suns continue to play consistently.

So both favorites here have lost the games, and again, we are with the Hornets against the Magic as they are exciting and very fun to watch this young players. But Magic didn't allow that to happened with Paolo Banchero redeeming himself in this games. Same with Jalen Green and Booker.

If not then you might want to check your account if you are eligible for the monthly bonus.
Not eligible but that's okay. I need to wager more so that the next months would be generous for me.

I claimed it yesterday and bet the prize on a Champions League match. However, as you can see, Arsenal are a real pain.
That's sad yet okay, you're one of those who are eligible to claim the bonus.

I would look forward in doing the same spending the prize to the games that I'd like but not yet for now. I wish your next bets to be lucky.

That's ok, they have a lot of promotions in the pipeline.

So for sure for next month, if you wager more then you could be eligible for the monthly bonus. Lol, yeah, sadly, when we claim ours, we immediately bet on it in others games. And unfortunately, even in sports betting, there are times that we are going to lose no matter what kind of analysis we used and very confident of our bet.

Re: 2026 NBA Season
in Gambling discussion
Looking forward to more NBA Basketball today! Got friends coming over in a few hours and I just tossed a turkey in to be roasted. With tax season behind me, it is a time of celebration as last year was a BIG one for me. Throw in some basketball and it is going to be a great day. Smiley
Man, oh man, I really hope I am there. Turkey and beers?  Grin

It's going to be a fun play-in tournament.

The Warriors are at number 10, the Hornets are at number 9. If ever they go in, they can actually upset any team. The Hornets, especially, in my own opinion. This team had shown strength in the season, making long winning streaks just to prove they can actually be in the playoffs.
Now, they have a chance to do it. First, they must win this match against the Magic. It's going to be tough, no doubt about that. The battle against the Heat was tough, too, but they made it through. Still, I believe the young guns have already proved themselves, but they can show more.

I can't wait for the next seasons for this young Hornets. They are already proving themselves that it's not just a fluke that they have a incredible run at the end of the regular season. Although there is some controversy on LaMelo Ball, but I guess it won't affect him in their next game against the Magic.

On the Magic side, it seems that they've lost the game already. Look at how the media is now portraying Banchero. So it's either Paolo rise to the occasion and proved that he is a superstar or just another regular player as they compare him to Ben Simmons.

Height and reach is favoorr for Ryan Garcia here. But it's a very small gap, especially the records, almost the same.
I agree with fullfitlarry that this match will be more 50/50. I'm also excited to see odds on some sportsbooks here.

Records could not be the same, as they have different opponents and it depends on the caliber as well. With Ryan, I think he has face a lot of B-side level fighters so I think he has the advantage here. And from what we have seen, he had the left, that big weapon in his arsenal.

I'm looking forward to betting on Conor Benn here (depends on the odds).

He could be the underdog in this fight. As I think the sports bookies will favor the young and flamboyant Ryan Garcia. Although Benn won in his last fight against Prograis, not enough for me to convince that he can beat King Ry here.

Re: Your First Big Win Might Be Your Biggest Trap.
in Gambling discussion
Beginners luck? I thought that this is just a fallacy? Nevertheless yeah, every first in our life might be a trap. It's because you have a feeling that you are in total control of the game and the outcome and most likely you want to have that kind of euphoric feeling again and again.

And when that first win is huge, for sure you will be suckered to comeback to play that same game again. Specially luck base games, like slots, gonna be your own wrong doing if you think that you can win and duplicate the same or even higher feeling.

Re: This was probably the first documentary about Bitcoin
in Bitcoin Discussion
I remember also one old documentary entitled: The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yh1dOmQJoWQ

In any case, even at this time, we still know that this kind of old videos is still applicable as of this time.

Only the price has change, but the views of those early adopters and developers have bearing in 2026.
