You are making some good sense there, but still, there are other considerations I would like you to see to it. Fine, gambling with neutral minds or for fun is the right way to go, but this will never stop some gamblers from addiction. The fun you seek could cause addiction as well if it is not moderated, so being cautious and neutral with gambling is the best way to go in my opinion and not believe that fun is the safe haven to it. Although the fun is good, I derive it in gambling also (casino), but when we do not have the restraint as well, I am certain that it will cause some addiction when it has become a hobby that could even shift our minds from the fun to gambling for the money, this is physiological.

Also, I hope gamblers can follow your other advice rightly because many will detect a mistake but they will still continue to dwell on it. This is the ugly part of gambling and I say for sure that those gamblers who will gamble and make mistakes and also use the mistake as their stepping stone to learning better are wise. But many will not do this, which is why I do not even like to preach it so that they will not view it as a means of relaxing but to make sure that they try as much as possible to gamble aright. For this, I remain supportive of gambling which is void of mistakes and weakness of the mind.

Congratulations to you on your winning, oh my God, that winning is almost $7,000. Regardless, this bonus of a thing is not a big deal in the world of casinos and sportsbooks, the bonuses are everywhere and I can say it is the cheapest thing now because casinos and sportsbooks are rivalling and want many customers for themselves. And this is not about converting them alone but also making them stay. This is why they copy themselves with bonus offerings and also some rakebacks and other perks for their loyal customers. You may not know this if you stick to playing with Australian casinos alone, but this is so common everywhere.

Now, alone in signing up, some casinos may give you more than a 300% bonus, but the issue I have with these bonuses is that the terms and conditions are insane before they can allow you to withdraw your money. This is why I am not even opting for the bonus again in sportsbook but wager with my real money and I am so contented with it. But for the casinos that I play for the fun part, I still do that but often satisfied with what my casinos give me and do not use it as a basis.

Gambling to win and gamble more to win more is not a new practice in the gambling world only that if you do it wrongly, you will have to face the music. If you are a fearful gambler, my brother, do it your way, gamble, win and withdraw your money ASAP. This is to avoid emotions playing on your intelligence, it is as simple as that. And if you want this to be more effective, try as much as you can to lower your wagering amount, so that when you gamble again after the initial winning that you withdrew, you will be able to continue gambling from the winning when you deposit again until the winning day will happen once more.

But for those who are deeply rooted in gambling and are serious about the game, they can continue to gamble regardless. However, they should not do this without a viable plan, they should be very smart with it by having a good gambling strategy, budget and management. They should know what works for them, and what triggers their emotion before having their gambling system and plans to avoid issues. Many will have money in their gambling account and gamble for over 3 months before they withdraw a penny. This is because they are always losing but because they have not achieved their gambling results which can call for any withdrawal.

This makes sense and it is similar to what I just replied to a post a while ago. Many may start gambling for a reason but over time deviate from it, so it is easy to say that they are gambling for the fun in the beginning even if they've later deviated. However, if they can be true to what they started gambling for, it will be so nice for them, but they should still be very careful about the addictive nature of gambling whether or not they are truly gambling for fun. That aside, how will you truly know the people who gamble for fun? You will start noticing through their little wagering which is also consistent with their plays.

If anyone claims to be gambling for fun but does otherwise than above, such should just be disregarded, it might be for the money even if he doesn't want to agree to that. Also, some people are just gambling but never know the main reason why they even gamble, but all the same, claim they are gambling for the fun. With time, the clarity in their gambling style which they built over time will tell them the reality of what they are gambling for bitterly, it can't be hidden. Maybe by then, they will agree that they've indeed deviated or have allowed uncontrolled gambling to remould their decision.

No one should tell us that casino/sportsbook establishment is no plus for students before we know that, after all, this is not a productive call for them in any way. Will casinos/sportsbooks teach them moral standards and how to do well in life? Certainly not, so their presence should not be thought towards that direction for any reason. However, the presence may or may not be negative to the children as well, this is because many students will not even give it a thought and will be afraid to engage in a thing like that since it is around the institution, and when they get home, they might never have the chance to go out to try such a thing due to the strictness of their parents.

But to others, yes, it can affect them in the sense that they might look for a way to start trying what they are seeing around them, especially when they have reached certain older ages and believe money can be made through it. And even if these students did not gamble in the one(s) close to their school, they might find an alternative elsewhere where no one would see them.

This is particularly true if the children are such that are free to move around after school.

Well, it is not necessary that we do the hard work, if you are smart enough, you will surely be productive. Nevertheless, you are very correct, if anyone is running from hard work and resolves to take solace in gambling as a source of income, then the person is not wise. Fine, gambling may be the source of earning too, but this should be a passive means of earning, not otherwise. And the fact that it is risky should talk volume of senses into the person. Gambling can make you lose so much more than the money, so if anyone thinks that they are running from hard work, they should never knock on the door of risky avenues like gambling and trading as a sole means of income, otherwise, they will be disappointed and make him life miserable.

I enjoy gambling when I have other income sources, and even when I lose money, I do not feel it. That is the mindset at which people should gamble, they should gamble as though they are not desperate for the money, however, if the money comes they will be happy. Above all, they should learn from others who had the believe in making gambling their source of income and judge for themselves if that is still what they want for their lives.

I would like you to perish the idea of Web 3.0 evading regulations, that's not the purpose for which it was created. Although, there would be some better control by domains, but certainly not the decentralised means that will help them blind the regulator. Yes, it is decentralised, but that is for the purpose of taking full control and avoiding third-party internet mediators like Apple, Google, and Facebook that are reaping them in Web 2.0 initiative.

Mind you, once you are dealing with human beings, you are not out of the reach of the authorities so we should not let Web 3 deceive us. What I believe is happening right now is that when there are new developments like that, some new actors may still start doing whatever they like, this is possible until the rod of the authorities gets to them.

This is not also peculiar to Web 3.0 because the present version they are now trying to fade off still has some unregulated companies. So it is not a big deal, there are always good, ugly and bad or adamant actors everywhere. However, the only benefit and beauty I would like you to focus on with Web 3 is the transition from Web 2.0 which is developmental and will come with a whole lot of advancement technology-wise.

I am glad you have discovered yourself, if anyone cannot predict the sports games by himself, I wonder what the person can ever do for himself in life. People are too reliant on external sources, this is in spite of the fact that they may even do it better than those external predictors if tried. But because of the lack of self-belief, they will resort to those who were supposed to resort to them supposing they are up and doing. Thankfully, I have known this ideology since I was little and have always been striving to be independent in whatever I do. Even if I did not know it, I would still try my best to fail and try again until I can get it better. This helps in every facet of life.

Just believe you can do it, learn it and practice it to get better.

Reading your post further, I still realise that you are not fully independent of people as you resort to getting predictions from friends. I can only risk this if I do not have the chance to analyse and it is gonna be my friend whom I trust with good winning records. But still, I do not like the idea and have avoided it many times I did not have that chance myself because, sports analysis is so easy but also not a do-or-die affair, so taking one or two breaks from it due to misses instead of resorting to friend is more honourable to me as an independent person.

You should know the risk you are signing for my friend before you click the submit button. Mind you, the higher the odds, the higher the possibility that you are making a tough choice. This is why I like to limit my sports betting odds to within 2+. It could be anywhere between 2.0 and 2.9. I can't remember going higher than that to tell you how careful I am.

Besides, it would have been nicer if you added the odds to those tickets for us to know.

Contrary to your claim, though the result is unfortunate, I do not see many lessons to learn here because you were somewhat careful and did not risk aggressively. First, your betting is independent of each other which means you did well, and secondly, I do not think your risk is higher than necessary since you did not add the wagering amount. Nevertheless, the tone used is not a risky one, this is good as far as I am concerned. The fact that you lost them shouldn't make you blame your approach.

I also do not see you deviating from your plan, did you? Unless I can't extract it from what you wrote here.

I bet independently like you but I have never experienced a thing like this. At worst, maybe 2/5 of the games which is even rare.

You quite make a whole lot of sense, but all the same, the best way to go about this is to avoid using VPN entirely. The gambles who who are not using any VPN are still being alleged of multiple accounts talkless of the person with the VPN. What you said is good and if it is a good VPN that you uniquely paid for the IP with a verifiable location and that no one will use it apart from you, it is fine. But still, in casinos even if you are not discovered as a customer with multiple accounts, they still have their means to try to detect it's a VPN and could be a serious issue.

For me, I would rather like to spend more money on the installation of a very good anti-virus with multiple protection purposes than risk using a VPN with casinos. This is especially risky if they clearly state in their terms and conditions that they forbid it. Is that not looking for trouble? Using my local IP anywhere I go in the world puts my mind at rest, and with anti-virus, I am secured pretty fine, which was what I was looking for with a VPN.

My candid advice in this situation is that everyone should flee this casino, they can't just be trusted. If they claim they will process your withdrawal up to $50,000 in a month, which is about $1,650 daily, but are giving the person who has more than $10,000 with them $500 daily, what should we call that?

What if they have the same measure in proportion to every withdrawal? For instance, what if they wanted to treat their customers the same way as this guy in the OP and when you have about $1,000 there, you can only withdraw $50 daily? The same thing goes for having $100 with them, you can only withdraw just $5. This is possible. I know many would say it is not possible, but have they tried it?

For this, I always like to be sensitive and smart so that unplanned issues will not happen to me painfully. Finding excuses for them or believing that with a lower deposit and wagering the situation will change is just risking what is not necessary.

You are making sense, but at the same time, there are natural risks associated with the kind of casino we opt for which are beyond our control. Without going into many details, the physical risks and lack of privacy are associated with physical casinos, and even if you try to cover it up in a way, so far you are not the only one involved in the gambling and the financial settlement, you are compromised, my friend. This is, however, some of many of the risks attached to physical casinos, but the truth is that they are not peculiar to anyone whether you are as careless as you claimed or not.

The same thing can be said of online casinos, it will always have its own risk. You can imagine winning a huge amount of money and they ask you to complete your KYC or provide them with additional documents for verification which they continue to reject in pretence. Or they just block your account online and deny you your winning and withdrawal, or your account/the account of the casino is hacked.

All of these are no fault of the gamblers, they are natural things that are happening to online casino victims, which are wickedly beyond their control.

I simply do not understand you, my friend, if a gambler is allowing it to be attached to other aspects of his life to the point that it is reflected there, don't you think it is dangerous and not a smart idea? If you do not think so, I do. Gambling is an activity that is very risky and we should leave it at the gambling house or platform and never allow it to be reflected in any area of ourselves, otherwise, we will regret it. Talks like this also show an iota of addiction which I will not pray for anyone. Or what does a thing that is now part and parcel of our life should be called if not an addiction?

We should live our lives separately from gambling, this is more honourable and shows that we are independent of it. Gambling could make one irresponsible you know, so if this irresponsible act is now in our gambling and we are allowing it to reflect in our doings, what will that be? If a gambler is expecting more than the money and fun in gambling, I wonder what else the person would want that will not be detrimental eventually.

If not that I've been deeply rooted in some gaming tokens' research these days, I would have thought you just said all that due to the campaigning for the Metawin. But really, it is good to look into Metawin's projects as the casino seems to be one of those that are serious in the industry, that do not want to settle for less in anything related to what casinos are doing these days.

This is why they are also launching their token just like any other interested ones. With the fast pace they are now growing with little complaint,  I think it is a plus for them and their token's growth as well. Nevertheless, this is not a yardstick to judge how a token will behave, so anyone should be careful about $MWIN and DYOR indeed.

However, I will search more about $MWIN because it is $ROCKY I know that is associated with Metawin. This token is also a meme token and not a gaming token. It actually made an impressive good capitalization of almost $5m in less than 48 hours of launch but has dropped to about $1.7m now with only one unpopular exchange listing it.

I hope that will not be for $MWIN since it is a gaming token that is directly related to what Metawin does.

You have said it well and I hope he can consider it. There is no way better than the signature campaign to spread what he is selling virally through this forum than signature campaigns, especially if he can spare more money to achieve the aim. But at the same time, we should consider the pocket size of this person, it is not everyone who is rich like that. Who doesn't want to sell so fast by marketing everywhere possible just like the advantaged companies do? But money is mostly the constraint.

Who knows, this guy might just be a programmer who puts this project together by himself or with a little money spared to complete it. For this kind of person to continue to hire people for marketing may be an issue. This is why I think the affiliate package is good, and as defined above, he did well as this will tempt many to work for him. And who knows, in the next few months he might have had better financial standing to now consider the campaigns on the forum as combined marketing efforts.

I only hope he is true to his words and run this casino fairly. If he doesn't, then it will be an added advantage for him.

You have good advice there, I wonder why some people will allow themselves to be persuaded to open another account with the same casinos. Even if the first account was not banned, a second account should not be considered with the same casino as it might result in banning. Casino frowns so much at this because people have used this style to cheat them in the past, so they ban the account at first knowledge even if you are not cheating them. But it is bad that they will not investigate or warn you. I can only believe that people who are victims of this ignorantly may not know because I should have been a victim of other companies. If it were to be in trading, it would have happened many times.

The reason is that it was later that I often detected that I had two accounts with them. I would have opened an account with a company but forgot and reopened it ignorantly about 5 years later. These are part of the issue.

By the way, it is never an excuse for any casino to block an account simply because their system detects it as fraud. Can't they investigate? It is not new for computer programs to be overbearing and misbehaving, that is where humans come in. Mind you. I believe many casinos are deliberately cheating people this way but lying about their system, which is why we should be very careful in our casino selection. I wish there would be better regulation in the casino industry, it is only then that they can stop all the cheating instead of gamblers looking for external help as you suggested.

No one needs to be wise to know that this advice is foolish because even primary school pupils will advise better than that. Using risk to pay a debt is risky, so the advice should be the type one should consider dead on arrival. First, I blame the guy who would stoop so low to borrow money to gamble, that is a very bad idea, as for him to continue to borrow money to gamble may result in more losses and more debts. We all know gambling, which includes the parlay he was advised to bet, anything betting is not what you can guarantee, anyone may lose at any time. Luck is obviously needed here, especially when you are desperate for money, the fear will surely be there. But luck as it is is not what you can vouch for, it only visits those it blesses randomly.

My advice for the debtor is to stay calm and not get himself frustrated but find the right alternative to pay it back. The person who could borrow $6,000 should have a good income and a repayment plan. So he should try to chart his repayment plan even if it will take ages...lol.  After all, debt is not a criminal offence.

@Haunebu, forum arbitrator? Well, I have not seen any serious reason for that, it can only be on the light mood or the guy who suggested it did not know the meaning of arbitrators. I don't know what such a task is looking for in a forum like this that is even trying to keep its head down and do its things in such a way that will be entirely oversight and controlled by it. Not even a forum that is about fiats needs such a thing, not to mention a Bitcoin forum.

@freedomgo, it's true that we have them and this forum came prepared if I must say but trusting the decision of many of them after all I have witnessed on the forum? I don't think so. The moderators are doing great but may include the reason why they take some actions to make it fair and the mistake avoidable next time. But for the DTs, I think some of them are power drunk, oh yes, I mean it and I don't think it's uncommon they use the power as an instrument to deal with another. Is that what we call fairness? This is the only reason why I think an independent judge or whatever they will call it may be needed.

I have a contrary opinion to yours bro, it is better to fake it for me as though it was difficult but to find it easy eventually by myself than for you to tell me it's easy only to later discover it to be difficult. Mental preparedness is what you are not considering here but it goes a long way. It is one of the main reasons people give up on trading easily when they find it tougher than they expected. The easy way they picture it is even better these days when people can easily use Google to verify every claim, this is unlike my days of learning (2 decades ago), it was worse to the point that they would convince you that it's like going to the ATM machine with free access ATM cards. But the reality is always different.

Although the theoretical aspect is not difficult at all, and within a week or two of serious learning, a serious person could know virtually all that is needed to know. But the issue is in practicality, you must be wise and smart, and also be mentally and financially ready. But sadly, it's a very few who can qualify for that even if they learn from today till eternity. This means that trading needs more than mere learning, it needs you on how you can completely engage it systematically and dynamically. But most people are not just patient or prepared for that.

Let's not pretend that Bitcoin is the messiah in the financial world, if you do, your bad vision will soon become a reality for you to know. This is someone's sweat we are talking about, so let's be sensitive with the kind of advice we give. For Bitcoin to have been growing so well for the past decade doesn't mean it can't have its own challenges as time comes on. Do you know the future? That's the issue. What all of you guys with the same mindset are saying is not even speculation but guesswork through your beliefs, which could easily fail you. What if Bitcoin is not more than $50,000 in the next 13 years having bought it at $75,000? What would the child would the child do?

Also, having unchallenged access to an investment is a risk on its own because we might not be truthful to our plans. A little challenge might cause the liquidation of the investment if care is not taken, so those parents who are arranging some future packages for their children are not fools and there is no future package like that without interest. If at all they do not want to invest the money in one plan due to fear, especially inflation, such parents may diversify in many investment plans which include, buying shares, land and properties in the name of the children. They may also buy Biticoin but it should not take the whole of the money. With time, these will appreciate more instead of gambling the future of their children solely on Bitcoin which is still very young. No one knows tomorrow.
