Bitcoin Forum

it is not even 1 year since i have been introduced to bitcoin and i have already lost 1+ btc in gambling with not much profit, as whatever big or less profit i used to get i used to invest it again in gambling.

hey guys you all here are old bitcoin studs,please suggest me how to resist the impulsive nature to not put my money on stake, and how you guys manage to stop at that point when you think that im done and i shouldnt stake much as i will lose everything..

how to feel that point that its enough for today.. :-\

I always suggest people to strategically invest, instead of gamble.

You should not be gambling is the real anwser.  No matter what you will lose eventually, the house always wins.   Not to mention there is not really a regulatory body watching these btc gambling sites.  So there is just so much unknown.

So just stop gambling.

Trading is risky but unlike gambling, you can predict your future more accurate here.

Everyone here has gambled from the moment they brought bitcoin, then if you invest in anything else that is another gamble. Everywhere in bitcoin is a gamble the trick I have found is just be happy with the big gamble we have all taken. Block them sites out of your mind because if you don't you have many unhappy days as you have already, they will only get worse the more you gamble trying to chase the original losses. Don't even play a little if that leads to more.

hmm..but sometime when dijkovik ,nadal,barcelona are playing...i cant resist..
i am unable to sleep..cant get sleep..
am i disease sticken?  :(

anyone here who has this type of feeling now or before??

I will be honest that sounds like how I used to feel when I used to play high stakes poker on Saturdays and Sundays, knowing that them games were playing without me used to drive me insane because I had won a few of the tournaments and felt I was missing out from winning again. It was dealt with by not logging in so basically ignored them feelings however hard, after time they become easier to ignore and before you know it you only play when you want to not when you feel you 'need' to. Without being funny towards you, you should search google for ways to help with your troubles because what worked for me may not work for you, but you should know you are not alone!   :-\

Put your coins in the most convoluted cold storage possible and store them with someone else you trust implicitly.

I've never had the gambling gene so I've no idea how it feels, but it sounds like you have a compulsion.

you are right..i have no intension to get rich with gambling or i never think that this amount of winning btcs will ever feed me or buy me a new motor bike..but it is spreading in my blood..if soccer is going on i cant concentrate on my work..and i eagerly bet on it, once i bet i am unable to sleep or concentrate until match is finished..i am happy if i won, if i loose i remember my old winning and try to say myself that neverming you gonna win big next time as you won once..

From listening to you, there is definitely hope as you have realized it is getting out of control early on. You now have the chance to nip it in the bud and not get totally hooked on it. Being pro active as you are clearly trying will help. I really suggest you do some searching on the net if you have not already, there are many people who have felt what you feel and the more people you hear how they beat it the more tools you have in your reach to beat it. You to do have a problem with it but it is early and you understand so you will beat it, please keep looking until you find what helps. Take care matey

thanks man..for lighting hope in me..

i owe you a tip..if you don't feel bad accepting a tip from a junior..oh..not even junior...its newbie.. :)

I can tell you that I know where you have been in. I am gambling free for 3 months and still in bitcoin in many ways. I can only tell you from experience that gambling is not for everyone and it's not for me. I played for 3 years and you are lucky that it was only 1btc+ that you lost. I believe for me, my makeup and design is to not gamble and takes me down the long deep dark path. The problem is I am just good enough to win a couple just to find out that I will lose it the very next split second. The motto of "only play with what you can stand to lose" is one in which those that gamble for entertainment only. Not everyone can do that.

I can drink alcohol like once a not touch the bottle for a couple of months. My gambling is not that way. Here is what I have done.

I have gone to friends and tell them your issue. You someone that will kick you in your ass if you mess up. These are the folks that have a general interest in your livelihood.
I took off all my podcasts, my poker forums, dissassociated with poker community, took out all my bookmarks and deleted all my gambling and anything related.
Get another hobby. I chose running for me. I have lost 25 pounds in 6 months and am so happy with myself. Just hitting the pavement for me is just plain fun for me and I win every single time. No loss in that. It is a +EV move in life is what I gain. Nothing else like it.
Find another community that you can get involved with that deals with bitcoin.

I am now associated with an awesome community, http://grindabuck.com (http://grindabuck.com) and I love it. I make some bitcoin that and share in that with others. There is a loyalty program and with our new site, we will have competitions and really further involve a great community aspect. You get paid for your online activity and you earn bitcoin a lot faster than any sort of satoshi earned faucet. The community is great and we are in the process of building a site to really expand on our community aspect and would love for you to be a part of it.

The ideal solution is to just stop gambling.
But as you said, it is hard to resist the temptation when you are addicted to it.

So I would suggest you use a very stringent cold storage to save your BTC. Just create a paper wallet and put it in a bank locker (or any other safe storage that you can't access on daily basis or very frequently). Whatever BTC you get, immediately send them to this cold storage. Problem solved. If you can't access them you can't spend them.

1 BTC isn't really that bad of a loss.   However, what you can do is keep your BTC in paper wallet format.  That will make it slightly more difficult to spend.

There's only one thing you can do: just stop. It might be easier said than done but only you can work up the determination to do it. Cut your losses at 1btc and just think about how much more you could lose.

I really hate gambling after loosing all my btc

That doesn't sound like a good idea. He's more likely to forget how to access his coins if it's too 'convoluted'.


Sounds like you're addicted or getting addicted. I'd seriously just do your best not to gamble and find something else to distract you when you get the urge to do so. It wont be easy but you'll only lose more money and pride if you continue.

join a group thingy for people who are addicted to gambling and try to quit!

if you are looking for a substitute i suggest you try trading, it has risks but at least you can predict a little.

That was the aim, I am glad that it has gave you some hope because you deserve it and anyone else who is going threw what you are and I have, it is not nice to feel weak. Just remember your not and you can beat the BS no problem. Hehe thank you for the offer! But... No friend you don't owe me nothing and I could never accept a tip from you, if I have helped even a little that is more than enough for me! Good luck and you have my pm if you want a chat, I will reply as soon as I can  :)

don't invest money but your time, gamble with it, it's far better and more remunerative, if you are in a good healthy condition you can work for 16 hours a day(a bit stressful i must admit) but it would let you earn a big amount

i have been there my friend. gambling is so addictive specially the thrill of wining big time is worth living for :) but you are bound to lose at the end and not have a positive total. if it wasn't this way all those website, casinos , .... would go bankrupt in a week.

I was lost 1.5 BTC on gambling and I decided to sell all my Bitcoin to prevent return to gambling again. Now I recovered 0.5 BTC

want to stop gambling then study gambling.

you'll soon realize it is nothing more than a scam.  If the fact that you are only going to lose your money doesn't change your mindset you may have problems that nobody here can solve. 

I'm serious about studying these games, actually, as it is enlightening as to how they seduce you into thinking you can win by offering you a win here and there to keep you floating along, losing at a relatively controlled rate, but losing.  Look at the multitudes of simulations that are run over thousands and millions of 'hands' or rounds or whatever and it becomes clear that what they are doing is taking your dollar giving you .90 back, then .80, then .70 and so on, until you're bled as dry as they can bleed you.

the first time I went to Vegas they shook me until my pockets were empty.  Just that ass whuppin was enough for me, as I work for my $$ and throwing it away is about the last thing I am prone to do.

Beyond that what I noticed, was not that others were winning, but that they were losing their money more slowly than I was.  Clearly I was doing something wrong and no surprise as I had virtually no fucking idea what I was doing.  Didn't know the games, didn't know the rules, didn't know the odds.

So I studied casino gaming in a casual sort of way.  Looked at the common games and their odds, and the house advantage.

There is no way to win long term.  Period.

The only game I will play in a casino at this point is blackjack and ONLY if I have reviewed the basic strategy tables beforehand and taken a few hours to practice, otherwise not even that.   

learn to count.  it is not as hard as people say it is and at a minimum will force you to learn the game and use basic strategy, which takes the guess work out of it.  this will keep you losing more slowly than otherwise if nothing else.

as to these online BTC casinos, not a chance.  stay away from these scams.

Why people take a risk for being a rich by gambling? :-\ we all know, gambling is not profitable, except you're lucky guy ever. Try another method like trading(although i think slightly different).


~iki

So you gambled and lost money? That should come as no surprise since it was the most mathematically likely outcome.

If any one comes in here and bashes gamblers that have issues,they really are showing their lack of understanding of how the brain works.

That said I suggest you replace gambling with a more healthy alternative like wallking/Jogging or working out. The cardio aspect will work better here imo than the short amount of time you can actually spend in a gym. Combining them would be way better.

As for the issue you can dwell on it and try to find out why you are this way and quite often its a cycle that never gets to the core of the issue. Look at the success rate of gamblers anonymous or any other group that rehashes the issues and you will see they do not have the highest success rates.
Hollywood has done a good job of misleading and propping up that aspect for a long time.

Your best bet is to figure out how the reward system works in your brain and go from there. Dont beat yourself up and dont get into the poor me,just attack it like a pitbull.

I am a little gambler but I bet on I expected to lost if I lost I will rest not bet more. It's hard to take it back you should rest or do some hobby.

thanks all..this forum is too sweet..

i think the idea of cold storage is best for me....looking for a deep freeze... :)

I am sorry man, most of people lost thier money in the gambling game, so you should only bet what you can afford.

If you honestly believe all of this you should talk to someone or get help.   I fear if you treat your fiat money the same it will end up bad. 

Combining gambling and cardio?  No one is going to be able to replace the feeling you get.  For that you need help, no judgement being made. 

Also if all you lost in a entire year is 1 BTC... it's hard to say how much of a problem that is.  For if you got a year worth of leisure time for 240'ish dollars it could have been a lot worse.  If you are hurting financially because of gambling yes you need help.

its not just i care about finance..

i just do care for my time,for my passion...
i used to be creative man before..now i only think of sports and gambling...

i remember in past days...early in the morning newspaper used to come in my house,i used to read current affairs and quickly grab them from my brother's hand..
now all is same except in place of world's,hollywood and current affairs i am switching to sports section..
when i am with my friends on the go..i am always switching to williamhills,wincomparator,flashscore,cloudbet...i am unable to concentrate on my friends talks nd they feel ignored..
thats what..

The one BTC a year is not worring (to me personally).  But if it takes over everything in your life I am no expect but I would guess you need help.

I wish I had better advice, but this is not my expertise. I would call one of those gambling helplines and talk to them.

thanks for your consideration...
i am doing meditation and yoga from yesterday....and started tipping on reddit to ward of my bad habbits...

Gambling is the nr 1 killer of people that wanna get rich with coins.

really, i cant understand what you wanna say ????   :P

Ask someone to create a paper wallet with Bip32 PASSWORD protection. They should do it in front of you, but you have to look away when they enter the password/phrase.
They then store the password for you, but you keep the private keys.
When you want to buy something, and not gamble it away, they could provide you with the password.
Use someone you can trust, that is the obvious part. They cannot access the coins without the private key any way.
How does that sound?

Don't tell more people to leave bitcoin, we have enough leave already but it is good being to the point and that is one way of dealing with a bitcoin addiction lol The urge would likely still be there and he will gamble more with fiat.

Trading and learning to trade would be good OP because you will love learning the skill if you are anything like me! I truly enjoy it and it is much better than gambling because you are actually getting good at something if you put the effort into it. It will also keep your mind occupied and will be much less likely to want to gamble.

You will also have fun talking to people in the trollbox which is another reason that will help.

Just stop buying bitcoin.
Did you ever gamble online before bitcoin? If so then not buying any wont help because you will just go back to whatever currency you used to gamble with in the past.
Apart from a couple of 0.001BTC bets on Luckybit i dont gamble much myself, cant afford too.
Sorry mate but i got to tell ya that this is not a problem of btc, it's your problem.

that gambling is one of the reason why people lose money, because they see it as easy quick buck, then when is too late, they realise that they will lose everything and gain nothing

gambling is one of the worst plagues ever

It's not a plague. Don't exaggerate. Most people can gamble and have fun and have no problems just like people can drink and smoke and have sex without it damaging their lives, but for some people they have no self-control and it can ruin their lives, but for the most part most people can enjoy all those things in moderation.

Don't get addicted to gambling, try to quit it...
Or instead, play for fun, only bet what you can afford to lose...

That's why I said, quit it, and not playing means not losing anything... ;)

i'm not exaggerating, the others thing you mentioned are plagues too, dring, smoking, drug eccc..., sex not, because is a thing(not talking about porn) that is naturally for human, and it is necessary for the human race itself)

they are all the bad things that one should avoid, the fact that many do those thing, doesn't mean they are ok

i'm an open minded guy, i'm not against those stuff but they are still considered not good, people do it because they are bored, all that comes from boredom is a bad thing imho

 ;D me no plaque..

In the gold rush at USA, those who got rich, that sold tools & shovels to the diggers. Here, those who refer people to gambling sites by signature/referral campaign makes the money... not the gamblers :P

Hmm... Gambling is seductive, also, the gambling sites are broadcasting the big wins on their sites everyday and that could be an inducement.

If you only gamble because of bitcoin maybe you should stay away from bitcoin related stuff, it should be easier to control the impulse.

one should always keep an eye on his or her total wining in a gambling website. if it is negetive wining then you gotta be careful not to let it empty your pockets. and also if it is possitive you have ti be careful not to get cocky and lose all of them.

yeah, well you're getting sucked in.

as I mentioned previously you may want to study gambling itself.

you also might want to study the psychology and physiology of addiction and gambling in particular.  your brain may be wired to release happy drugs/endorphins when you win- and this is likely the case.  you may be chemically addicted to this in this respect as you are seeking the release of these drugs.  it can be similar to other forms of addiction in this way.

when it gets really bad gamblers will gamble for any reason.  feeling happy?  gamble.  feeling sad?  gamble.  feeling stressed? gamble.  all of this becomes wired into the brain of the gambler and becomes ingrained into their personality to the point where it takes over.  as you indicate, it dominates their thinking completely to the point where it becomes the point of living.

I have seen this first hand in a close family member that gambled away literally millions of dollars and destroyed his life over this senseless shit, leaving him fucking penniless, so I have some idea of how all of this works.  It ain't good when it spins out of control and really grabs a person, which it very definitely can do in much the same way drugs can, for many of the same reasons and with equally devastating results.

if better understanding all of this this does not help you reason your way out of this and you cannot stop on your own seek help and do it right now.  don't fuck around with this or any other type of addiction.  don't kid yourself that you can control it or that the problem will not get larger. 

do not waste further time, just take the step that's necessary to stop it, whatever that is for you.

I think OP really needs to get away from bitcoin.  I don't recommend this hardly ever.  I try to spread bitcoin and hope for more acceptance.

But in this case OP is having easy access to bitcoin is making gambling easier.   So he is really playing on sites with no regulation.   If he goes to only fiat money it will make gambling harder.  No instant access.   

Well I don't know if it's BTC related or not, but really it doesn't matter.

If the OP thinks it may be a contributing factor, then it is so.

Anything that is a trigger or enables the behavior should be napalmed.

You must be clear of the fact that the gambling sites (or the banks) always win. There are algorithms behind the games, slots, roulettes etc which always are set up in the way that you will lose longterm and the casino wins longterm.

I am now less certain investments always quick scam and I've been addicted to gambling so a little hard to stop it.

is there any suggestion from you about what kind of investment that has a low risk? and for a long period of time

For BTC? There ain't none other than (just maybe) BTC itself.

The record for crypto 'investments' is truly wretched. A handful were excellent but they've been swamped by thousands upon thousands of miserable failures.

Gambling is the worst thing. I hate dice.  :D
Now i don´t play anymore. Casino always wins.

Just don't visit this forum for a month. Concentrate on the things that matter to you in your real life and then the addiction of gambling will vanish. Gambling just eats you and makes a person greedy for more and more money and he ends up to be a pauper.

There is so much fail in this sentence.
If you want to 'invest' in gambling, then should you not play the games at all.
You completely misunderstod how gambling works and what an investment is.

Gambling is a form of entertainment, which means that over time you will have to pay to be able to play.
Effectivly is the house edge the price for playing.
It is true that you can make a profit by gambling, but that is due to luck.
In the long run will you always have a negative profit, it is not my rule that is how statistic works.

I can recommend to change your approach to gambling, look at it in a different way, when you play a game, then do you PAY for entertainment, same as seeing a movie or see a show, any money left after the game is bonus.

I will suggest that you make a paper wallet, take a copy of the public key.
Place the private key it in a plastic container and mold it in cast.

http://ceramicartsdaily.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/gilliatt_5.jpg

Now do you have a bitcoin storage that you not easily can access.
In order to access the private key you would need to break the cast (make a lot of mess).
You can always transfer funds to the wallet, by using the public key.

This soulution will perhaps prevent you for these impulse spending on gambling.

You will always later, be able to redeem your coins, but you have to break the cast.

yep i get a lots of skrill and pp from online bussiness..but never felt any uncontrollable urge like this..
but from the time i have been accepting btcs..i am addicted to gambling..
so i think i should refuse now accepting btcs from my client..

thanks for this suggestion..

sent a small tip to you for your blazzing advice...

https://blockchain.info/tx/af81b0435eb34207bffd48afce72f2262afdcfef69a2bccf31597072d2e04552

If I'm reading it right seems it could be a lot worse if https://blockchain.info/address/33jhmQXe4Q9dP24Jm9EVa6XHxn85sZnQMR is your btc address.

If you have to keep using BTC for your business.  I suggest this as a first step.  Find the sites you use to gamble or read about odds, anything that has to do with the addiction.   Use software or hardware to block the sites.   It will be hard going "cold turkey".  But I think no access to gambling will help.

no man i have changed my payment mode to skrill for all my clients..
now what is left with me(btcs) i am donating some to nepal , some on reddit as tip and converting all to usd on localbitcoin... :0 thats what i think is right way...

You are doing good for everyone, but don't leave BTC as it was not meant to be left.
I have seen many people leaving Bitcoins just because they lost them gambling. So, try to leave gambling instead.

I'd never gamble with my bitcoins. Just imagine what they could be worth in the future so if you really wanna gamble just invest in bitcoins and hold and see how much they're worth in the future. Maybe that would be the better gamble?

find a skilled game and get good at it,, so the money you will be taking is the newbie players

Why not gamble? Why not?
I think there are websites with some very good amount of faucets like DaDice offering up to 12.5k satoshis, so it's fine if you can reach higher levels, try to gamble with their faucets and make money instead of going with your money.

Gambling is never a good option.

Although I was lucky and knew when to quit at 15 btc profit.

Man...I know sometimes gambling attract us to do more and more. I'm honestly feel like I can win like the others. And because my greed , I try to bet just like the big bettor did. But in fact everyone's luck is different. But life goes on man...

Take this lesson to do a better next time

Quote:
The greatest advantage in gambling lies in not playing at all ( Gerolamo Cardano )

Gambling isn't a good idea because the odds are stacked against you. Probably 9/10 people who gamble end up losing. And using faucets to gamble is just a waste of time. You'd be better off spending that time earning coins some other way and saving them and not gambling them away.

@OP,
Please refer to this site: http://www.gamblersanonymous.org/ga/ (http://www.gamblersanonymous.org/ga/) if you find yourself helpless to leave gambling...

Are you talking to me and op as if we are the same person? ???

Will presume that is the case as no one would be against op getting healthy even if he doesnt break the gambling cycle.
The real issue with addictions is pattern recognition gone wrong. Most people are addicted to something and quite a lot of people do not even know it.
It might not be as sever as gambling or drugs but it could be something like taking the same path home after work every day or pulling out your iphone when conversations have ackward pauses. No one should really judge anyone in this world as you are really only perceiving how life is and perception is often murky.

Back to OP...If you are serious you should read some of Gabor Mates books. He really does a great job of explaining whats going on in the head.

will read that book...
by the way after listening to your advices in this forum i haven't gambled from last two days..amazing...
thank you all amazing people here, so helpful...

I worded it horribly it was meant to be to both.  I thought the thought of "combining" cardio and gambling is crazy.   If that is what you were saying.  I think it is but I could be wrong.  Part about it could have been a lot worse was OP as he had quite a bit more then 1 BTC it appeared in wallet.

I agree I in no way have a problem with OP getting better and leaving gambling.  I just don't think gambling should be combined with new item.  Instead replace gambling with other item.  I do agree losing half time to something else is good, but think with an addiction you should take all of it away not part.

I think it would be hard but blocking all gambling sites, odd sites, etc on his home network would be a quick jump back from it.  

You should consider before gambling. Only gamble with money you'll be ok if you lose.
If you still want to gamble, then search website with faucets and other promotions. This way you don't risk your money. But earning are small, except if you're extremly lucky  ;D

Faucet earnings are very very small in most cases.  I don't think faucet is what I would recommend.  OP has a normal career it sounds like that he can choose bitcoin in some cases that is much better then hours typing in capatcha for little to nothing.

As far as don't bet more then you can risk.  Yes always a good idea. 

[/color][/i]

sent a small tip to you, thanks for your advice..

https://blockchain.info/tx/a6d1bac1abd8a489789286d5c48e07dbc5e7a63b699a80783a92bf6b467251d6

It's actually my first I believe.   Thank you was a nice gesture.   I wish you the best of luck and hope it works out on gambling.

If it goes back to getting bad again I highly suggest trying blocking the sites.  I think it wont stop it in no way but at least slow it down.

no, this is not how it works. if somebody is addicted to anything, he will always find a was how to remove any roadblock..

then, the best thing for him is to find another passion, like gaming, sport, sex or anything that might occupy your mind

or just work all day, it is a better way to earn money

try doing meditation.. :)

Hollywood was used to push this organization in the early days and from the amount of people that spit it out,I would say they did a great job.
What is the success rate of this organization? Why do they have a need to push religion if its all about getting people better? I suggest anyone thinking of checking out a meeting look into the history as well.
Lets get the ball really going...Would you suggest Scientology to a friend that was lacking purpose?


fuel to the fire... :P

stop gambling. its not profitable at all. i lost 2bitcoins today. first time gambling and definitly last time too.

don't be sad, i lost at gambling too

i lost .8 BTC from betting at manny pacquiao

well i learned my lessons the hard way. and remember that in gambling, the house always wins :D

youre right, no matter how much you think you are smart and can defeat the house. you happen to be blind in betting and get the beating of your life everytime.
gambling is a very vicious circle. once youre in you gotta take a very bad trip to get out. still some people dont get out even tho.
many of the people i saw in casinos have lost millions in gambling but that doesnt dissuade them.

one guy once told me : i have gambled about $3m.. dont ask me how i got the money, i dont know myself. it just appeared and i lost thousands after thousands over the course of years in casinos.

Yesterday I lost 0.006 btc ....
Its not much bit..its better to keep ur bits with you than to give it to house...

doing already..and i am fine now..
thanks man... :(

i discovered that i'm a bit addicted to ponzi instead, they are still gambling but on a different view

i lost 0.2, 3 days ago on another one, i should have withdraw early those last btc, to minimize the loss, at least...

oh...very bad..
i think addiction is like disease which eats man slowly and timely.. :-[

you can try to gamble if you have spare coin to lose
but don't hope that you gonna be rich from gambling

But the OP was actually not looking for such an advice that you gave, he said gambling's taking him out...
So, it was what I thought to be the best option he might be having, which is why I suggested it as my opinion...

I recently decided to stop gambling when I lost 0.2 BTC on primedice :'(

first invest a little quantity of btc. then take half of the portion of the profit and invest it again . similarly keep on investing only the half of the profit and save the other half.

I have also tried my luck with gambling but never win. Most of the gambling sites are scams and not provabully fair better to avoid gambling.

I already gave my advice,my response was so that he could see that the organization you mentioned may not be the best.
If I got edgy with you I am sorry,just really sour on them. The fact they have no room for gray should be all you need to know.



@ OP

Go sit in your local casino's parking lot and watch who goes in. I did this a well back when I was waiting in between jobs and it was a eye opener.
The cars where beat up,the people where beat up and it was obvious some had some serious life issues,health wise and mentally. The poor man chases well the rich man saves and plots his rise.

If you want to make money gambling, you need to own a casino.

There will always be temptations offered to us for a price that will do us harm.  Making the correct choice is just part of life. 

Rule Nr. 1

Dont gamble with your precious BTCBTCBTC

Trading would be more apt for you. Although there is still risk involved. Just keep asking yourself before investing, can you afford to lose it, before you risk it.
Cheers

will think of it..

ahh the most important thing is to admit that you are addicted and start doing something with it..it can completely ruin your life. if you feel yourself that it is problem and you even created thread about you here...maybe will be better to visit some addiction specialist and start doing on it.

sending BTC to some other guy is just temp solution - if you are addicted you will the the way how to get other btc and start again.

if you really give wanna btc to someone then its better to do charity..it will lead to happiness... :o

Most newbies who attempt trading will end up losing money. Trading isn't really that much different from skill-based gambling (in fact, I would categorize it as a subset of such). Come to think of it, it could be even worse depending on how much experience you have because someone who gambles on a dice site does so on a more even playing field and at least has a decent shot at making a profit (since there is only the house edge to worry about) whereas someone who goes into trading without any prior experience would be automatically disadvantaged against those who have far more experience than them.

On the plus side, cryptos are a good way to learn about trading as well since there is a far lower barrier to entry and you can trade with amounts that would be impossible to trade with on non-crypto platforms (although the existence of practice accounts negates this benefit somewhat). In any case, anyone who is seriously interested in trading for profit should do a lot of research, pick up a few books about the subject, and get themselves acquainted with technical analysis methods beforehand.

If you want to make money gambling, you must need to own a casino.

There will always be temptations offered to us for a price that will do us harm.  Making the correct choice is just part of life. 

you dont need to own it, you just have to find a reputable casino with an investment option to its house edge and you can earn it as you were owner of it, i think its the best idea how to earn in casinos
