Re: Would you rather….

Would you rather play in a casino where you win a lot and big ones too but has strict KYC implementation and is a headache to actually cash out from or play in a casino with no KYC, totally private and secure but doesn’t let you win a lot?

I know that in casinos, there’s not much difference between rates of winning because it’s random but hypothetically which one is more important for you? Profit or Privacy?

Well, in my case, I don't think I needed privacy, considering how low the amount I am allocating to gambling is. So, that means I'm gonna have to favor making a profit over privacy. Of course, I'm gonna deal with the most trusted and established casino to avoid the risks of getting your information sold to any cyber criminal. But then again, I don't think I'm gonna be one of their best target after looking at my account and gambling activities lol.

Re: My opinion on when bets should increase
by
Oasisman
on 08/09/2025, 18:18:41 UTC
Bet adjustment is actually about the management of risk and emotions. Pursuing after losses through bets increase can be potential danger, because a single wrong turn can erase you. Increasing after a win may feel safe, if you will be betting with the profit, yet it can as well backfire when the streak stop abruptly. From my view, I will prefer staying with consistent bets with slight adjustment, because stability provides better chances of lasting longer to avoid tilt. The concern is securing your bankroll at first, not going after fast swings.

One thing to remember when your goal is to gamble to make a profit: do not make haste in winning, and do not try to chase the losses immediately. Some may say it's called the Martingale strategy, but it's not gonna work most of the time. We already know that, and you need a lot of resources to pull this one off, and again, it is not guaranteed.
So, I have to agree with you. Betting consistently, carefully, and strategically will somehow work better than some hasty moves. It may take more time, but it's less risky.

Re: Tell me how this is not laziness

So laziness do contribute to irresponsible gambling.

It does. Just like what you said, I also have known a lot of people in my place who resort to gambling because the money they earn from their 9-5 job is not enough to sustain their lifestyle. It's as if they're putting all their luck into hitting the jackpot one day. But we all know it is almost impossible for them to have that kind of luck. The chances are extremely slim.
I think they are content with the little wins they get every time they gamble, and that's what keeping their hopes up.

Re: Is gambling inspiring people to work harder?

Just want to share something I’ve observed in our community. I know a few people who are consistent gamblers, yet they also work really hard. It seems like gambling actually pushes them to hustle more, because they need money to fuel their gambling activities.

I wouldn’t think that to be the case, it doesn’t necessarily mean they’ve got to fuel their gambling activities but, these guys many times than most, would have taken money meant for something important and gambled it away. Now, they are left with a debt owed to themselves or others in times of, what they need to use the money on and they’ve got to get things done either they like it or not and so, they put in some extra time for some extra pay.

That exactly is the case for most of these situations. In fact, I haven't seen someone very dedicated to work come home late, doing extra work for extra money, and only to end up in the casino. The worst part is that the person will probably walk out empty more frequently than walking out with an extra bag. But, I've seen a lot of people working 2-3 jobs, doing overtime just to pay off their debts. May it be for gambling or something else? I'm positive, it's not really gambling that fuels these people to do some extra work for extra money, but it is always the debt that needs to be paid on time, otherwise, extra charges will be put on top of the due amount. In all fairness to these people, I have to admire them somehow for facing their lapses compared to those who resort to suicide.

Re: 2025 NBA Season

on 05/09/2025, 21:02:39 UTC
Speaking of value, I just saw a few hours ago that Cam Thomas, a player who's averaging 24 PPG in Brooklyn signed a 1-year deal worth $6M to stay. I mean a player that offensive only got that amount. I wonder why though.  Huh Huh Huh
Yeah, for real, that’s way too low for a player averaging 24 PPG. Meanwhile, Pat Connaughton is making $9.4M while only averaging 5.3 PPG. Lol. Even if people say he’s putting up numbers because of the team he’s on and wouldn’t score like that on a top team, it’s still too low, and he’s still young, just 23. Other players with lower averages are getting paid more. Honestly, that feels unfair. His agent doesn’t seem great at negotiations. Cooper Flagg is even making more in his first season.

That's the weird part about the NBA. Some players are overpaid, and some are underpaid based on their performance and contribution to the team. Nevertheless, the NBA is a business. I think they're also looking at whether the player can draw a lot of fans/market. Cam Thomas is indeed underrated. This is a challenge to him. He's still young, and he has all the time to improve and show his real worth. If Brooklyn won't see that in the next couple of years, then I don't see him staying with that team.

Re: Gamblers are losers casino owners are winner.

Thats the fact, casino's losing huge funds is not something that happens steadily while for a gambler losing money to the casino that aspect is on a daily basis and that's why casino's dont come out complaining like the way the gamblers do.

This is simple, casinos are companies, businesses that have the house edge and it is something accepted worldwide, even we when we play we must be Aware of it , Personally the casinos always win and we as players are consumers, it is not that we will never win , if we are lucky enough we will win.


The fact that casinos are a kind of "business", they should expect profits. If casinos lost money like the gamblers do, they could've been bankrupt a long time ago. The booming casino/gambling industry and the continued growth of the number of online casinos are one of the major indications that this business is very sustainable. There's no way a casino will lose if they have a huge number of clients.

Re: Addiction in gambling

on 04/09/2025, 20:55:45 UTC

Because all there focuses are on gambling, when you come across this kind of people. "all you need is to counsel them" because it's beneficial


It depends on your relationship with this kind of person. If it were a random guy I met in a casino, I wouldn’t even counsel or give him advice, as I don’t know his temper or character; it’s his own business.

If he is someone close to me and he trusts me, then I will try to give him the best advice that I can provide so he can ease up on his addiction. A person needs to trust you first before they will listen to your advice; you can only advise someone who trusts you or asks you for advice.

In my experience, even the person knows you and you know him very much and he trusts you, if he's not willing to ease his gambling addiction, there is nothing you can do. Especially if that person did not come to you to ask for advice, it just doesn't work, no matter how much advice you give them.
I'm speaking to my experience because I had a friend whom I'm close to, but now he's estranged due to the overwhelming debts he incurred, and he cannot pay it anymore. I gave him advice, although he didn't ask for it, and it just did not work.

Re: Parlays vs straight bets
by

on 04/09/2025, 19:22:04 UTC

So here’s my question to everyone, especially those who really understand sports betting and have been playing it regularly: Do you find more value in parlays or in straight bets?


Well, parlays are indeed the kind of sports betting that is more fun and exciting than straight bets, plus it has higher payouts. However, it also bears a higher risk of losing than straight bets. So, Im gonna say, I'll go with straight bets, which I normally do when I'm placing bets to the teams that I feel like they're gonna hit the odds. I'm also not a huge fan of parlays, I just don't feel like I have luck with winning streaks lol.

This is 100% true. May mga contingent plans yang mga yan, dahil kahit ano mang ingat at pagtatago nila para hindi malaman ang pagnanakaw nila, ay darating talaga ang panahon na may sumilip. Sa bilyones na ninakaw nila, pwedeng pwede na silang umalis sa bansa at sa ibang bansa na ipagpatuloy ang natitira nilang oras dito sa mundo lol.

Latest NBA rumor I’m seeing is that the Houston Rockets are willing to do whatever they have to in order to pair Kevin Durant with Giannis. I don’t think they have the cards to get him, but you never know. The Bucks can’t let Giannis walk in free agency in my opinion. They’re going to have to trade him.

Well, if the Rockers are serious about this, then I guess they are willing to give up guys like Sengun, Amen, Vanvleet, and Adams. This may involve 3-4 teams to be able to pull this trade off and send Giannis to the Rockets. However, they are gonna lose too much depth. Giannis and Durant won't gonna be enough, because their 2nd unit are most likely going to be one of the weakest in the league.

As what the question is, Do you think governments should set limits on how much one can gamble daily?


It depends on whether there has been a huge problem with gambling. Especially if it affects the peace and order of a certain society, because some people become violent when they run out of money or when they are buried in debt. It's either they steal or even kill out of desperation.
Frequent gambling won't be a problem as long as the people outside these vices are not gonna be affected. At the end of the day, it is always us who are responsible for what we have done.

In their case, they’ve been gambling for years, but they’re still responsible with work, so I don’t see it as pure irresponsibility. Their motivation might be different, but they’re still putting in the effort, even if the end goal is just to fund their gambling.

So how do you see this kind of lifestyle? Do you judge them as wrong because their reason is gambling, or do you respect it since everyone has their own way of finding happiness?

Well, that's tough. Working your a** off just to fund your gambling habit. It seems like an addiction to me. In fairness to these people, I would say, there's no harm in what they do, as long as they don't starve themselves or their family, if they have. Just be within the range of what they consider they can afford to lose. After all, we all need something that helps alleviate our stress and exhaustion from work. If they find it in gambling, then let them be, there's nothing wrong with it.

Is it easy to be a responsible player?

It is when you're a family man and when your mindset is focused on your family. There should always be a limitation on how much you spend on gambling, regardless of whether you are married or not. Excessive gambling is not a good habit.
Being responsible is not that really hard. Everyone knows we can't beat the casino, and we can't hit a jackpot without spending too much. At the end of the day, it is just our money we win back when the algorithm decides to let you win lol. However, this will definitely not apply with sports betting and other pvp card games.

Re: Should gambling ads be normalized?
by
Oasisman
on 27/08/2025, 19:04:19 UTC

Now that sports betting is growing bigger and bigger, should gambling ads be just normalized during sports matches or should it stay separate from sports? What's your stance on gambling ads during sport matches?

I don't see any problem if they only show the ads on sports matches. After all, it is not a channel intended for the kids.
The gambling ads are only becoming a problem if it has been televised, broadcast, and shown in the social media very frequently. It is not the appropriate place for these gambling ads. I have seen a lot of it lately in the social media. Celebrities and influencers are constantly promoting and adversiting various gambling websites. That is the problem.

so aside from gambling responsibly, will you agree that we should disclose our gambling habits or is it not the business of our spouses? does gambling really have the capacity to break up a marriage or a family?

When you get married, your business is your spouse's business as well. In case you're not fully aware of what marriage is, it is a bond between two people who love each other, as they become one. That means, you should not keep any secrets nor cheat. That's the best recipe for a healthy marriage.
Now, let's head back to your concern. I would say, yes, gambling will have an impact on your marriage when it becomes an excessive behaviour. Disclosing your gambling habits to your wife may save you from having a broken family.

Re: What do gamblers have in common?

Oasisman
on 26/08/2025, 19:49:46 UTC

We always talk about addictions, about how to gamble to achieve better results, but the topic of what goes through the mind of a healthy gambler is almost never touched upon.

Healthy gamblers are the majority. I wonder if there's something we all have in common that keeps us on the right path and never oversteps our limits.

Perhaps it has something to do with the time we dedicate to gambling, whether we do it for fun, or even if we have other things that take up most of our free time, like family, sports, exercise, or spending time with the people we love.


I suppose what you mean by a healthy gambler is a responsible gambler, right? Well, one thing they have in common, or shall we say, we have in common, is that we have grown up matured. We prioritize our responsibilities over a little hobby in gambling, and we only gamble what we absolutely can afford to lose.
I think most of the responsible gamblers love betting exclusively in sports. Slot games and other pure luck-based games gets boring eventually.

Re: Is it important to gamble even when you know your win are not guaranteed .
by
Oasisman
on 26/08/2025, 14:26:16 UTC

Like they say, if you don't play the lottery you can't win..and using this mentality it's worth giving these games a shot as you can never know what happens.

Exactly. This is the reason why it's called gambling, because a win is not a guarantee. Though the chances of losing are greater than winning. As long as everything is in moderation and in control, there is nothing to worry about losing.
The lottery is the perfect example of this. People knew that their chances of hitting the jackpot were less than 1%, but still, they were willing to give it a shot.

Do you have gambling friends or you prefer to be alone?

Well, gambling friends ain't no good in here, I think. Because they are only your friends if you give some portions of your winnings, if you don't, then you're just nothing like a stranger to them. There will always be acquaintances, but don't treat them like your real friends.
I'm not sure if the same works in other places/countries. I'd rather have to gamble alone, because I don't like talking too much while concentrating on something where my money is on the line lol.

Re: The Impacts of sports betting on the Sports industry

Once I went to a  local film hall to watch a live match. The match was fun and very enjoyable, but what triggered a higher kind of fun that changed the whole atmosphere of the environment was that people began to place bets among themselves on what would happen next. There were lots of laughters, wins and losses as well, but in all, everyone went home happy.


Such a familiar sight an scenario in a sports betting bar. Most of the sports bar here in our place offers a place where you can put your bet on (website). I'm not sure if they're sponsored, but a wild guess they are. But, people inside the bar just can't resist to look for some to bet on inside the bar. So, this actually happens all the time in a sports bar, and I confess, it's more fun that just betting online.
