Re: Cockfighting led to a horrible case

on 24/07/2025, 11:38:49 UTC

Actually cockfighting is ban when you do it on rural areas. There are designated arenas which sabongero's can legally bet and do those things that they want there.

Police conducting heavy crackdowns those illegal sabong done on public areas and I seen lots of raids happening and to many illegal bettors got caught doing this. But despite of the action done by authorities there are still lots of people doing such illegal things.

When E sabong has been introduce online cockfighting betting became rampant and many abuse or other type of crimes happen just like these unfortunate situation happen on missing sabongero's.

Hopefully they can get real justice since the way how the investigation going right now its like they are just getting false hope. Since there are some forces using them to eliminate their political opponent.

Yup it's illegal, but most of those who conduct this type of illegal gambling they are mostly protected or being fcilatated by those corrupt officials, those who are in rural places, if not all but most of them either protected by polie officials or it's the official itself that conducting it and providing protections to those gamblers who loves to gamble.

That legalization of E-Sabong is now being investigated since there are missing sabungeros but the funny thing now, it's being relate to war on drugs by the past administration, not sure now if the case will direct to the big boss Atong Ang or it will now be diverted to past administration and be added to his crime thru ICC.

Re: Do you think positive mindset keeps you winning?

on 24/07/2025, 11:18:30 UTC

I second you on this thought. The positive mindset is good, but it is only progressive if used in the right field or activities. Gambling is not the right place to have a positive mindset, it's better you use the gambling mindset in gambling, because with that, you will be prepared for the worst.

If you are using a positive mindset in gambling, you will only find yourself repeatedly gambling regardless of whether or not you are losing. This is just a motivation that can put you in trouble of persistent hope that may never be fruitful.

This doesn't necessarily mean that you will continue playing regardless of whether you're winning or losing. If you set a budget limit for yourself, you will simply stop, and a positive attitude will just help you cope more easily with a loss if you've had a bad day. So, positive thinking has a good effect on all areas of our life, but how much we lose depends on the limits we set and on our discipline, which can keep us from continuing to play further.

Yeah much better that way, if you set your limit then go ahead and stop once the limit already reached, there are times that you can be lucky and can take away decent amount of winnings out from the house, and there are times that luck is not at your side and you lose some of your deposit, it's pretty normal as there's no assurance when you are inside gambling better make a best of use of your luck and enjoy when oppotunities comes around and let you win if not, then be aware and ready to accept the outcome.

This is actually nice, at least nagooffer na ang mga universities natin (hopefully lahat) ng mga AI courses, kase naman talagang AI is the future nga ang sabi nila. Akala ko nung una parang major subject lang or something pero fully course pala, interesting din ito. Siguro kung meron na nito dati, ito nalang yung kinuha kong course e, anyway sana yung mga universities like AMA and yung mga related sa computers ay mag offer din ng ganitong mga courses, sa tingin ko medyo may kamahalan yung mga ganyan course, hindi kaya?

Wala akong idea sa presyo pero siguro medyo pricey yung course na to' ang maganda lang din kasi meron na ngang school na nagoffer para dun sa mga gustong matutunan ng mas malalim ang AI system, alam naman natin na sa malapit na hinaharap mas marami pang AI system ang makikita natin sa ibat ibang sangay ng industriya kaya dapat kung kakayanin naman  ng budget at yung mga anak or relatives natin na magpakita ng interest eh suportahan at tulungan para matutunan ang mas malalim na bagay patungkol sa AI technology.

Re: Underground Gambling

on 24/07/2025, 09:49:33 UTC
In that side, there are trusted NGO's where you can partner if you are really aiming to help, like you said they manage to established thier good reputations and long lasting services to keep their partners and let them assist with good deeds that they wanted to provide, though same with what the pot above you there are NGO's which created to hide the true intentions and we can't deny the fact that they can be use as platform to launder money.

Some of those can be related to those who operates underground gambling they can hide and show some charity deeds but the main intention is to keep earning money out from the sight of the authorities.

Trustworthiness can be lost along the way. I don't question the work of some NGOs, but we're all in the same boat, and it's easy to fall into error, accepting shady transactions to the detriment of users.
Where money flows, corruption almost always comes into play. In gambling, where flows are very high, shady individuals find their way in.

I agree with that. If it ain't corruption, government employees or their bosses are trying to invest in those things where money flows either legally or illegally.

I still believe that underground gambling is happening. Games that could not be played in public, like dog fights or other types of gambling that cannot be shown outside. These kinds of gambling activities are where rich people mostly come because they need more of the excitement that they cannot get with simple gambling in UFC or boxing. They may want live action with blood all over the place, and sometimes those with money can get the entertainment they want from them.

Just like how gladiators fought hahaha, kidding aside but there are rich people who loves seeing live actions, either in terms of pets/animals or even those underground fight that they can see happening, they can spend money to bet on those kinds of fights and enjoyed the excitement that they've earned.

Underground gambling are everywhere as there are facilatators who can deal with connections and link those rich and those average to lower section to meet in between and gamble their money.

Re: How quickly do you forget a loss
by
Fredomago
on 24/07/2025, 08:51:09 UTC
Initially, letting go losses Is a general advice for every gambler.Personally,the first thing I learnt as a gambler is learning to forget gambling losses as fast as I can because of the dangers alongside it.For some Gamblers,first losses or losses entirely becomes a mental stress and heartbreak but it's so essential to never hold back gambling losses, it's too much of mental/emotional wreckage.

And the after effect can go wild if you keep remembering your losses you might chase for it and lose more, the point is you need to let go to prevent getting more losses if you try to win everything back. Though most of those who failed to recognize high potential risk that can happen with a single mistake with your decision making instead of forgetting a portion of your savings you might regret trying to win it back as you may lose more.

Re: Government banning of casinos are at their own loss.
by
Fredomago
on 24/07/2025, 08:14:42 UTC
There are many countries placing ban on gambling operations in their country on both online and offline, for either religious reasons or as measure towards curbing gambling addiction. But is it making result? while several other countries are rather lifting their bans with less restrictive regulatory policies.

-snip-


That's what I mean. My government also prohibits gambling, but people still access it and gamble. In fact, it's estimated that the gambling industry in my country alone is around $21.8 billion USD, which is a lot of money for an illegal industry. If only the government could legalize it, at least they could collect taxes from the operations of these gambling platforms. However, the problem is that the government is considering the edicts of one of the majority religions here, which states that gambling is haram. Another consideration is the potential for addiction. This prevents the government from legalizing gambling here.
No matter the efforts the government will want to apply in preventing citizens from gambling it is inevitable that the citizens will always find a way to gamble and it will be doing this bot minding the risk involved in either losing their money to the casino online if they get discovered that they are gambling from a restricted country. Also, there is a tendency of a growing illegal gambling platforms which will even be taking advantage of the citizens easily scamming them at will since they are not regulated by the government. A situation the government really have to critically look at with their decisions.

Most of them are willing in taking that kind of risk just to fulfill their lust and dsire to play, most of them are already engage too deep into gambling the reason why they are willing to take that action even the government ban or restrict any access to gambling, like you said, they are willing to gamble either to got caught by the government or getting frozen to the site where gambling is strict in terms of policies, they don't mind being caught then lose their entire balance.

they need to finish it next game if they don't want to give TNT a glimpse of hope, if this goes to game seven, it will be very hard for them, tnt play a lot better in a do or die game, although for sure SMB will again use the size, if tnt shoot will fall for them in game six, it will be a game seven but if they will not be compose and let jericho dictate the game, for sure they will lose, jericho really want players of TNT to get into the skin, last night he is fishing kelly, i don't like his attitude playing dumb always showing he don't know what happen.

Let see kabayan if what's inside the script hahaha, kidding aside they should finished this series and not to give any hope for TNT, need to be more aggressive and not to allow any opportunity to let the officiating officials to dictate the tempo of the game, though there are clips showing that it might be another "bigay' game as some easy basket was given to TNT, I saw a fb post showing Vosotros got an easy lay up against Ross and Cruz which is not usual knowing the characteristics of these two defenders.

Re: 2025 NBA Season
by
Fredomago
on 23/07/2025, 23:05:08 UTC

Nah, you mean there will be tough defense next season? I doubt that, we are already in a era wherein defense is not being played or it's easy to score basket as compare to the era of the 200's. Players now are more of taking long shots even center unlike before. Definitely though I will agree that it's going to be fun and interesting as there are a lot of transfers like Durant going to the Rockets. But there are a lot of star players that are also out, like Haliburton, and Tatum and Kyrie. So there will be someone to step up with that teams. And then the rookies too, maybe we can see that there will be a close fight for that ROTY award this season.

It’s proven already by current NBA champion and contender that defense matters to win a championship. OKC is the number 1 defensive team when they won the Championship.

All the team that focus on offense was beaten by team that has good defense. The weakness of all offense team is their accuracy drop when they are heavily guarded while the defensive team gets an easy basket due to the lack of defense of the offensive team.

I think many teams already adjusting their roster and adding big men is a must now to increase their defensive strength on the paint.

Yeah, OKC have their defensive arsenal where they are more capable to convert those turnovers from their opponents once they lack them out, and like what you said the offensive team are being beaten, a good example for that is GSW once Curry unable to make his shots the team mostly suffer as there's a counter that may take place for an easy conversions,

defense still have that edge but adjustments can happen as well, similar to the post above you, players can take even as far as the half court and still manage to make a basket, that kind of a long range shooters once they start making it defense may also collapse, a case to case situation that reflect to how players play the game.

Re: Is There No Good Side Of Gambling?
by
Fredomago
on 23/07/2025, 22:51:39 UTC
Most of the posts I have come across here in the gambling section has always centered on negativity about gambling. If it's not about gambling making someone go broke, it will be about one negativity or the other. Sometimes reading the comments in those posts scares me, because of how some people describe their horrifying gambling experiences. This made me to come up with this post to ask this important question; Is gambling really that bad? Are there no good effects of gambling on people? Gambling can't just be all bad all the time. Well if you think it's all bad, why are you still gambling?
Those gamblers who find their gambling life okay remain silent. But those who have suffered terrible losses often complain and blame the casino for their losses. But guess what? These big-mouth gamblers keep on gambling because they have been caught by the trap. They are not here for entertainment but for chasing money. And the more they say negatively, the more it gains attraction from the community. Their intriguing stories and claims made people curious about it and want to try. Gambling benefits from them because that helps it become more popular.

Publicity remain publicity even it's  a good one or a bad one, those casinos will continue to gain inerest as readers and viewers may attract their attentions and start to visit the site, once they deposit their money the chance that they'll be hook and start increasing their apetite to play, and like what you have said, they can drive those veiwers/readers to a potential new client and still the casino will prosper from the new active users that being drive out of curiosity.

on 23/07/2025, 22:41:37 UTC
This is why im that amazed into those people who do have that tons of followers but havent been able to accept out those generous promotions with those gambling companies and decided to go with that ethical path and continue into their own interest without disrupting themselves into those gambling promotion offers on which we can say that it is that big but they havent let themselves getting blinded by it.

There are well-known vloggers who choose not to accept or not to link their account to any gambling industries, either legal or illegal they choose not to accept any offers, with that kind of mindset they are safe in any moral or legal aspects, to those who got banned  that have millions of subscribers surely they already enjoyed those days and times that they've received payments or whatever incentives that the site offers to them to help them promoting their gambling sites, that's the risk as the government shows their capablilities in terms of working on those accounts and now they are being penalized.

Re: Sometimes you win some time you lose the game of gambling

on 23/07/2025, 22:27:38 UTC
That's gambling for you. If you get lucky today and got a big win, enjoy your win and only gamble with a little amount when next you want to try your luck. But if you feel that you will replicate what happened yesterday today again, you will gamble blindly and forget that luck is superior in gambling.

No gambling strategy can give you a long-term profit, and that shows that strategy isn't what made you win your bet but luck because gambling is not by skill.

Sometimes,we really need to be scared of the unpredictable nature of gambling because gambling outcomes is usually full of uncertainty,and it's unfortunate that some gamblers still don't understand how to tackle and manage the differences involved.Nevertheless,Gambling cannot be tusted.

As risk always present you need to understand that there's no certainty, even how good you are in dealing with your research and how you trust your judgements there's no assurance that you can always win, acceptance and know how to move forward, things that very important while you are in this ndustry, there's always an outcome either you win or you lose you need to assess your next possible position and not to dwell with it to move forward.

TNT's handicap went as high as +11.5 before game time, which makes sense since Poy Erram was ruled out and a lot of bettors were probably hammering SMB to close the series tonight.

But what we’re seeing so far is the opposite,TNT is actually leading by double digits and might even finish the half with that lead.
Still, the real turning point is the second half. That’s usually where SMB starts taking over, so we’ll see if it plays out the same way again.
TNT played a lot better, compose and shot is falling, i thought in the last five minutes SMB will have a run since they are chipping the lead, but they are unable to capitalized, if they want to win on friday, they will need to have the same effort, for sure SMB will try to finish this in Game 6, we will see how JunMar played this friday, hopefully they will give as a good game, but not expecting to have a game 7.

They need to have that kind of composure and maintain their confidence if they want to win, SMB unable to counter on both sides they unable to contest those shots allowing TNT to feel those baskets and able to continue till the rest of the game, while SMB is not on their focus and their shots are not falling, bad night that they need to adjust if they wanted to finish the series, else, giving TNT another game to push that might endanger them in winning the title, congrats to those kabayan who managed to bet for TNT both ML and Handicap.

Re: What is the cost of your mistakes?
by
Fredomago
on 23/07/2025, 10:36:44 UTC
First of all, this is risk management and money management. The second is probably unsystematic play. Let me make a reservation that I do not mean casinos, as well as people playing "for fun". I mean sports betting.
So, how much did your mistakes cost? Did they cause you a serious psychological blow? What were your mistakes, did you learn from these mistakes and do you apply this knowledge in practice now? Were these mistakes simply painful, dramatic or catastrophic?

Can't really remember how much I lost because I made a mistake in believing that I had a sure bet. Maybe it was between $100-300 many years ago. I used an amount that I can't afford to lose, so it was an uncomfortable situation that affected me psychologically. The lesson was that nothing is sure in gambling.  Don't ever believe that a team or player will certainly win or lose a game. Always gamble with the mentality that you can lose or win. It shaped me to be a responsible gambler. Although the amount I lost was high considering my income then. But it was just a painful experience and nothing too serious.

Similar to that sentiment, I use to make that mistake betting with a decent amount that I'm not intended to use for gambling but I was move by the trust on my instinct that I'm betting with a team that can really deliver a sure win, only to realize that upset can happen and same deal with you that sure thing messed up and it cost something decent that did not let me to forget for some time,

A good lesson is not to do same mistake again and always use the amount that you are willing to let go, whatever happen it won't affect you that much and will keep you away from too much regret.

You have a good vision and your intention are what a lot of rich folks out there are lacking, else, there would have been some major turnaround in the strides of NGO's in their role in ameliorating social vices within our respective societies. I hope someday you make that so much money to carry out your dream for others that are languishing in all sorts of addiction problems, mostly gambling and hard drugs.
If you look at the NGOs, they are not so transparent because most of them can use the money to launder it and the money doesn't reach the people , in fact in my country there are floods , floods , and the people who helped with clothes, with food, the police are asking them on the way to pay for it, I think the solution to this is to take the bull by the horns and do it, because governments and entities often do not do it, greed wins them over.
In any section of life there are those who will want to take advantage of a condition to their selfish interests and it's not baffling to me that there are such entities existing within the NGO's corridor. Which makes it relevant that those with the heart to genuinely help people in need of these help get to partner with already long existing NGOs that have earned a good reputation for themselves over the years of their activities.

In that side, there are trusted NGO's where you can partner if you are really aiming to help, like you said they manage to established thier good reputations and long lasting services to keep their partners and let them assist with good deeds that they wanted to provide, though same with what the pot above you there are NGO's which created to hide the true intentions and we can't deny the fact that they can be use as platform to launder money.

Going for the SMB Beermen for tonight's game. As what i have seen in the last four games, i don't that there is an anomaly on the games played, i mean there was no rigging on the games going on Smiley. The Beermen have covered the spread on all their wins so i think they will cover the spread tonight if they win.



If there's no script I also see that it can be well-covered, though we don't know what the game will bring to both teams, not going to place a bet though will enjoy watching let see if there are more dramas that will happen tonight, good luck kabayan if SMB will take this game as we seen them dominates from their past 3 meetings, chances to repeat that outcome is not by far.

.there are people who are gambling addicts that earn salaries but at the end of the month they lose it all in less than minutes

Well this is true, in fact there are many cases where this type of thing happens and the friends, family of the person reach a moment where they abandon him, because the addiction has consumed him a lot, that is why casinos and sports bets are for adults, because an adult is supposed to control everything and is able to do the right thing, I think that a person that something like this happens to him is because he is mentally not well.


Reality that still happening where a person got too much engage and they are willing to spend their month salary to test their luck against casinos, most of them already experienced both winning and losing and becuase of that experienced they are tend to try aiming to win more or recover from their losses and few may win but the majorities will experienced  the same thing and suffer more losses, it's  a tough call to bring good solution unless you are capable calling that hard stop when it's barely needed.
This is a bad thing. People have to play based on how much they are willing to lose and not to take everything. If the situation reaches that point, it needs to be treated because otherwise it will end up being irreparable and then the ones who lose out are the family members or the people close to you.

Yeah, those type of engagements needed to be cure as if that person continue that wrong perception they'll lose a lot of money,  and like you said, not only the person itself but also those people who are close to him, if he messed up with his life especially with his finances, it affects those who sorround him and those who cares about him, that's reality that needed to address.

Assuming Kawhi Leonard will be healthy this year I think they will have a better playoffs run due to their good player rotation that makes their starter rest well.

They are unstoppable assuming this roster will work well.

He was healthy last season and they still lost… maybe things will be different this time around. Just imagine adding solid players like CP3, Lopez, and Beal .. in my opinion, those are legit superstars. However, i think  the real challenge now is chemistry, because sometimes, having too many stars on one team can mess up the system, especially if roles aren’t clearly defined or egos start clashing on the court.

Good point, it all depends on how all those known stars will blend their chemistries from each other and how the coach will rotate them accordingly, like you said they've got deep squad with those known names, together with their role players they can established a good and competitive squad to chase for the title, more on how the coaches will blend them and create that trust to one another.

Seems that he will just enjoy his remaining years to play, with the inuries he got chasing ring might no longer a mission to him, just play and keep moving forward, not unless blazers will find ways to equipt him with decent support, we can't conclude yet as the next season yet to start and they've got till the trade deadline to push for good players who can support Dame if they still wanted to be competitive in chasing the ring.
He just got unlucky with injuries, but it’s all good. He earned well during his career thanks to that max contract, and retiring with the team that gave him that deal would be a great way to end it. Of course, he still has the skills, but his body isn’t the same anymore. even so, just having him on the roster can draw in fans and help boost viewership.

Yup, and with more good publicities and a winning game under his name, viewerships coming from old and new fans can boost their profits, Just like you mentioned he already earned decently from those max contract that he got from blazers managements, now that he got few seasons left due to his injuries, he can enjoy playing with the team who gave him the chance to become what he was known now.

Still another season to play his best and continue giving his fans reasons to watch out and support him and the rest of the team.
