A lift that can provide help for JB, better than nothing and as you mentioned a short contact while JT still recovering, hopefully Simmons will provide them some decent numbers, I see good games from him while playing with clippers unlike when he's still with the Nets, might be possible to give him decent minutes, though he's no longer a offensive type of a player but he got the height and if by chance he can also penetrate to make a basket. Will be depend with how the coach will use him I guess.
Yeah, plus he’s available on a minimum contract but there are still a lot of critics about the Celtics signing Simmons, which is normal considering his history and condition. Even Knicks fans are showing no interest. Since he’s available for the minimum contract, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the Celtics giving him a shot for now. Unless he gets hurt again, of course, which would be a waste. There are other teams showing interest in him too, not necessarily for his offense, but more likely for his defense and playmaking. He’s still 6'10" and a good passer. He doesn’t need to score much like others, he just needs to use the players around him effectively.

Re: Is it still gambling if you're sure you're going to win?

No matter how sure you are, once you risk your money on it, it’s still gambling, even if you’re 99% or 99.9% confident. Unexpected events, like injuries during the game, can instantly drop your chances of winning from 99% to 50%, or even flip the outcome completely. Even without any unfortunate events, there are times when the underdog performs well and the favorite ends up having an unlucky or bad game and that's nothing new in sports.

Re: What is your point of no return?

I set a limit every session for both wins and losses. Whichever comes first, I try really hard to stop myself from going beyond it. Although I can stick to it, stopping once the limit is reached is still not easy for me, even now. Cursing the casino is normal coz of frustration. We’re human, and it’s natural to feel that way when we lose. I see a lot of that in the chat. But blaming the casino to the point of demanding your losses back is something else. Like that one guy who even made a thread just to rant, not realizing he only made himself look like a fool.

Don’t get them wrong. First of all, they’re human beings, not just players, but also business minded individuals. It’s normal to go where they think they’ll benefit the most. That’s a completely natural reaction, because even regular people will take an opportunity when it’s presented. Sports is a business, it exists because of money. There’s nothing wrong with chasing more money, especially since you can’t play forever. So while there’s a better opportunity, grab it.

Re: No Amount is Affordable in Gambling
by

Each of us has a different financial status. When we say gamble only what you can afford to lose, it means the amount that won’t cause financial problems even if you lose it, regardless of how much it is. Sure, losing, whether it’s a small or big amount will still cause some frustration and that's normal. But at least it’s not to the point where it affects your finances overall. Most importantly, it shouldn’t impact your day to day life.

Re: Do you think positive mindset keeps you winning?

Being positive minded in gambling gives you hope that you can win but it doesn't make you to win, the basic thing that gives wins is luck. Positive minded has nothing to do with winning, if it does many gamblers will be hitting the jackpot because we have serious believers that are very positive that they'll win, in the end they'll lose everything. Positive minded is good in everything that we do, it gives us hope, without it nothing will be worth trying out so it is encourageable in gambling but we shouldn't think that it is enough to make you win.
Of course, having a positive mindset doesn’t increase your chances of winning but it’s still better to have one before playing. I mean, how are you going to play if you’re already thinking you’re going to lose before you even start? If that’s your mindset, then don’t play at all. For me, there’s no point in playing if you’re not even assuming you could win. Just don’t overdo it, especially when you’re on a green streak, because we all know, too much of anything is always bad.

Money runs gambling. It gets transferred from a point to another. From the poor to the wealthy, from the wealthy to the poor.

Let's first talk about how the poor gives the money to the wealthy.... They allocate a huge part of their money (which isn't a lot in the first place) to gambling thinking that this would be the quick fix to their problems. This is how they give the money to the wealthy in this case the casino owners.

But the money can also go from the wealthy to the poor. If the tax from casinos gets collected by the government and is used effectively, it can help a lot of those in need. The money can be used to improve infrastructure, education, healthcare and etc.

That is the main idea when the government taxes the casinos in the first place but the problem is that I find it very hard to find a government that is today not corrupted in our world where we live in, yes even the big ones, in fact they are more corrupted than small ones and that is why for example in US there is no free healthcare, the taxes are flowing somewhere else and this is just one example of corruption from a big country. Now for the poor that is their own mistake which they keep repeating expecting different results which can be called insanity as Einstein said. The poor people gambling are much more dangerous to the society than the corruption going on in government offices as the poor playing are directly hitting their life to misery, they should stop in order to start and improve on what they have.
Exactly, what more in a third world country? Aside from pocketing tax funds through so called projects, there are also under the table transactions they're benefiting from. So, the benefits that the poor or ordinary citizens receive are minimal or worse, they don’t feel anything at all. It’s like the government is taxing businesses for their own gain, not for the citizens. Even if they raise the tax on casinos or increase the minimum amount to play, it won’t have much effect. The government will end up earning more, all under the pretense of doing something to combat addiction.

Re: How quickly do you forget a loss
by

on 24/07/2025, 07:49:31 UTC
There’s only one loss I can’t forget, the 0.5btc Aside from that, it’s not that I forget my losses quickly, I just don’t care much about them. I don’t dwell on previous losses before playing because I need to play with a fresh mindset, with the intent to win, not to recover what I lost. That’s how it should be. If you keep thinking about your past losses, you’re only stressing yourself out while playing. It's not good to think about it coz it can only affect your session or the way you play.

He’ll get the time if he’s good enough. A lot of times rookies bodies aren’t ready for the NBA grind. LeBron got plenty of playing time his rookie year… I suspect we’ll be seeing around 25-30 minutes a game from Cooper Flagg this year, but you never know. The fact he got shut down in preseason so early to work on his body full time sort of shows he has the skills, they just need to prepare him physically.
Well, it’s understandable, he’s only 18 years old. And although he’s the same age as LeBron was when he got drafted, LeBron was on a whole different level. He had the potential to become one of the greatest players in history right from the start. As for Flagg, let’s give him time to reach his potential. Everything is still new, and the hype hasn’t settled yet. But if he can become as good as Luka offensively before his rookie contract ends and if the Mavs stay healthy, that will definitely boost their chances in the Playoffs.

Re: consequenced of promoting illegal casinos.

These illegal casinos offer something tempting, which most social media influencers can hardly decline. Now that the government has already taken some action to eliminate this kind of activity, they are now complaining. It was too late for them to ask for a favor, as the government is seriously taking down accounts that are promoting gambling. They now feel the consequences of their actions and are too bad to realize that there is no 2nd chance.
This will tell us that we should learn to become contented. Greed gives nothing good but always ridiculous stuff.
Well, to be fair, the government did warn them but they didn’t take it seriously. Some famous influencers avoided this issue because they acted immediately and deleted all their posts, including live streams promoting illegal online casinos. Maybe for others, the offer was just too big to turn down. As we all know, illegal activities usually come with higher pay. And since they’re already famous, they think it’s not that hard for them to grow a new page back to a million followers. Which is somewhat true.

Re: The Dangers of Becoming a Professional Gambler
by

on 23/07/2025, 08:59:33 UTC
Actually, you don’t even need to be a professional gambler to experience all that. It’s really the consequence of lacking discipline, which can lead to gambling addiction. Even a non pro player can face those problems if they’re not careful. To be honest, I’d rather have a 9 to 5 job than become a pro gambler. I’d rather just allocate a portion of my salary to play than take the risk of going full time. But of course, those in the pro scene are very risk takers.

This got me curious, do most of them come from low to middle class backgrounds? Because I think it would take a lot of money, including living expenses, just to reach that level.

I think it depends on someone’s personality. If the thrill isn’t enough, they’ll challenge themselves just to make it more interesting. And if the situation isn’t always in your favor, you’ll definitely feel something, after all, we’re only human. Saying you don’t feel anything, even if money isn’t a problem, is just a lie. Sooner or later, you’ll still end up chasing those losses to get your money back no matter how small it is for you.

In my years of gambling, I’ve realized that the word “safe” shouldn’t be used in gambling. Anyway, I’ll go with dice since it’s my game, but Limbo, live Baccarat, or Blackjack are also good games. As for Mines, I’ve had a few good runs, but hitting a mine on the first or second click makes me switch to other games, Ireally suck at Mines. Although there’s no fun in losing, aside from dice, I like Blackjack, Baccarat, and Plinko the most compared to other games. As for slots, I just enjoy watching others play. That’s it, just watching. Dice has always been my go to game.

2. Bigger paychecks.
Not all rich people are gamblers but they certainly have more chances to gamble if they wanted to. According to data, the higher the income is in some countries the more people gamble in that country. Since the average citizen is earning a lot, even if they spend quite a significant amount of money in gambling this will still not cause financial doom.

Is it fair to assume that a better economy and a solid framework will make people gamble more but be addicted less? This is the source, by the way.
Nah, I disagree. In my country, there are videos of people from the lower class playing slots while driving or working. When I visited a well-known local online casino, I saw a lot of whales playing, but there were even more people from the low to middle class. Why? Because of poverty. They want to escape poverty through gambling. So even while working or driving, they’re playing slots. It’s their greed for money that pushes them into that situation, and it’s usually the lower class people who end up getting into gambling because of that.

Re: Trading business vs. gambling business in crypto

It's gambling for me. For example, take 1,000 people. Out of those 1,000, how many would be interested in trading versus gambling? It's obvious, the majority would choose gambling over trading. A lot of people are too lazy to study trading while gambling isn’t very complicated. The rise in online casinos proves that there are many players, and it’s a very profitable business right now. If I had to choose one, I’d go with gambling. It’s easier for someone to get into gambling than trading.

Dame is back in Portland, and so is Chris Paul, he's back with the Clippers. He expressed a desire to play near his home. Although the Clippers' lineup is somewhat old, honestly, if the team stays healthy, they still have a shot. Just look at their last playoff appearance, they took the series to Game 7 against the Nuggets. Although they didn’t make it, they still played well. Now, they’ve got Beal and Lopez, thanks to Harden taking a pay cut.

Of course, but I didn’t ask anyone to help me because I believed I could do it on my own. I just needed to be strong. It lasted for years. Until now, I’m still fighting the urge to play but at least I can control it better now compared to before, when I would just give in to my feelings and not care about anything, even if I lost all my money online. A strong realization and strong will are what helped me control my gambling addiction. Yeah, I didn’t quit, but I’m better at controlling myself now and no longer keep playing and depositing like I used to especially when I lose.

Re: Would you allow your underage kid to use your detail for KYC after a big win.
by
Shinpako09
on 21/07/2025, 22:01:08 UTC
Now that's a very hard question. If I allow it, it means I'm also giving him permission to gamble and that I consent to it. If not, I’ll stand by my principles of not allowing my kids, especially if underage, to gamble, but that would mean letting the win slip away. I don’t know, maybe it depends on the amount. If it's too big, even for me, maybe I’d allow it. Or if he/she is still in overall positive profit. But if it doesn’t even break even with his/her overall stats, nah, I’d leave it as is, because he/she will likely lose more if I allow it. Better to leave it be until he/she reaches the legal age for gambling. The winnings won’t disappear anyway unless he/she use it to gamble more.

Re: When you're winning you can't sleep

Well, my sleepiness goes away after I start playing, but it's different when I win. I can sleep in peace knowing I won. It's like I’m calmer, happier, and of course, not frustrated. Whereas if I lose, I need to calm myself before going to bed, like browsing social media or listening to music. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced being unable to sleep after a win, no matter how much it was. Maybe those who can’t sleep when they win don’t have much experience in gambling, or the amount is just too significant for them.

on 21/07/2025, 10:30:18 UTC
Finally found my people. LOL. But for real, just like you, I don't understand how they can say they had fun when they lost. For me as well, there's no fun in losing. The moment you decide to play, you're aiming to win, not just to have fun, you’re hoping to win. Idk, maybe it’s their way of accepting the result, or saying they’re not addicted, or maybe they’re just in denial, or maybe the amount is too small to change their mood, idk. But for me, I only have fun when I’m winning, never when I lose, small amount or not.
