I was absent for a couple of days here, am sure some celebrated those days I was not here!LoL Well to start my story, basketball is one of the sport that I enjoyed playing. It not only makes you feel fit, it also stretches up your muscles and reflexes. We sometimes go to other places, as we search for some worthy opponents!;)LoL Me and my friends would gather every afternoon on basketball courts, wait for other groups that are willing to challenge us and p[lace some bet to make it more exciting. Because there are times that a game can be boring, we mostly play with bets on the line to make the game similar to a tournament and worth the sweat (so to speak)!;) We've been winning for the last week, straight (sorry, but I prefer to not include the amount of bet we put on each game)! Hehehe! But Monday afternoon was definitely not our day, in short, we lost! I believe our opponents snatched up two-days worth of our winnings from them, some felt like it was their fault but told them it was just one of those "bad days" we all have. It was frustrating, but we vowed to make a win for the next day's comeback and we did!;) As long as we play as a team and players are in good rhythm, I'm pretty sure that teams will have a hard time beating us!;) Do you have a favorite sport game where you play and make a bet in it, you know, just to make it more exciting?

here's some lines in an email sent to me re: basketball.. When I travel, people often ask me why I live in the Philippines ? Well here it is..... It is the only place on earth where...... 1. Every street has a basketball court. 2. Even doctors, lawyers and engineers are unemployed... and etc. Going back, I guess, betting also has been one of our few favorite past times. :D Have you tried fantasy basketball game? My officemate often does that, and also he has this network of basketball friends he met online because they belonged to a group online which plays baskteball just anywhere within the metro. :D Personally, i hate betting. :D I am so kuripot that i refuse to bet. I can bet but not in monetary terms. :D

That's so true, my friend. I remember one time playing in a make-shift basketball court on dirt!;) I'm not much into online gaming, but I know I've seen that played whenever I go to online cafes in malls!;)

Hi there! We do that but only, I don't know if you can consider it a sport. We play Counterstrike, that's why I don't know because I'm not sure if a computer game can be considered as sport. But we will have two teams, Counter-terrorists and Terrorists and we will have a race to 15. After that round, we'll change teams, like the Counter-terrorists will now become terrorists and it'll be a race to 30 round, with the teams' scores on the first round included. Usually we bet foods and drinks. We only bet money when we're playing against people from different places.

It can be considered a game though, but indeed not a sport. I used to play that as well, I remember placing a bet whenever other "clans" would challenge the "home team" we have here.
