VR and AR is really not needed right now and not even in the near future, maybe in far away future, like twenty years later then VR and AR can be a good way to go about gambling but right now it makes no sense, online casinos are not facing any problems that VR and AR can fix or should fix, the highest thing you can gain from VR and AR are fun and pleasure.

AI is still better because it has a problem or two that it can fix in online gambling platforms, AI can easily replace humans and AI can do the hard work for humans which can limit their extreme hard work on paper check and others, the higher the number of gamblers on an online casino the harder it will be for the team to keep everything under control.

AI has a better use case for online casinos and the blockchain in general but VR and AR are better right now for gaming purposes, using your TV at home or on your computer, it has everything to do with video games and metaverse but the needful in an online casino is very limited.

You pinpointed all your gambling problems yourself OP, what are you doing to solve this problem? You know what you did wrong and I don't think it's right looking for someone to tell you where you are wrong, you chase losses, you overbet when you can't afford it.  These are general problems that many gamblers have, they can't control their greed and emotions,  maybe you should try setting some gambling rules for yourself. Create a timetable for your gambling days and risk-taking, you will see a big difference.

Get a book or calendar and draw out your favorite gambling days in a week, and also the amount you can afford either twice or thrice a week, then stick to this plan, and when you lose money don't ever try chasing your losses, if you can do this you will see big difference and you will be able to maintain yourself.

Everything you have witnessed in crypto space have happened to 99% of people in the crypto space, this is normal to get better with crypto and gain more knowledge if you learn from your failures.

Bitcoin as a means of retirement is very good and advisable but for older people, I don't know, because their minds are created differently, they are in this world before us and they understand Fiat better, an old man would rather advise you to invest in gold than anything is because Gold was the best in their era.

If I am in a position to advise older people that are ready to listen to me I will tell them to invest in some Bitcoin, Gold, and stock for retirement,  doing so will likely give them rest of mind better than focusing on Bitcoin only.
1104  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin bonus real or a scam? on: May 30, 2023, 09:06:25 AM
Bitcoin bonus is a website that claim to user can earn bitcoin for no cost. But user now have a question is bitcoin bonus real or a scam. These days people are caught in scams specially online scam so people are scared to believe online website. But bitcoin bonus is well updated website and designed and developed by professional people. The first bonus given to new comer is $5, which is a catch here, why would anyone give money just for signing up on website.

It's good to be curious, why would anyone give 5$ per new users on their website when they aren't advertising websites like pay to click, that's because something is fishy here, if you aren't asked to do something to get the money then that's a dangerous website to have an account on, they are giving the 5$ away to attract many people as possible, there is no way anyone will give away 5$ to every users without taking something back.

The crazy part is they are paying people in Bitcoin, something that's one of the most valuable assets in the world right now, don't deceive yourself, a Bitcoin bonus for doing nothing is a big red flag and only the greedy types will fall for this impossible dream.

when something seem too good to be true it is definitely a big red flag.
1105  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: May 30, 2023, 07:09:21 AM
The hardest thing to control as a gambler is emotions, when I sit down and I think about my past gambling experience, I noticed that my emotions got the best of me, most of the money that I have lost happened because of my emotion, I was unable to control it.

To say the truth, there is no way to control your emotion, not until you set some rules for yourself and at times it is even hard to keep those rules in check but if you can stick to your rules you will be able to avoid some nasty mistakes.

There is no way anyone can control their emotions when gambling, but setting some rules of gambling for yourself will put you ahead of your emotions, because you have to keep your rules alive and stick to it.

If you are into gambling and you are a Christian, you have no religion, it makes sense that God doesn't like gambling, because it's the fastest path to destruction and it's also the destroyer of faith. Think and you will understand.
1106  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you been threaten to stop gambling on: May 30, 2023, 06:36:12 AM
I found gambling to be more easier when you are single and not married than when you are married and have some responsibility because you will need to be more extra careful if you are a married man so that you won't end up breaking your home or losing your wife in the process, even if you are a multi-millionaire gambling can turn you into a poor person if care is not taken.

As a married man you now have some responsibility to take care of, so you can't use all your spare money for gambling, every spare money is useful for a married man because of responsibility, so even if you can make some extra income, you will still need to divide that into two and use the a part for gambling and the other for an emergency fee, just in case.

This should be the way of a married man or should I say a responsible married man? and as a responsible married man, you have to limit your gambling every week,. There is a possibility of losing more money because you can easily be distracted, when you're married there will be a lot of things in your head and as a distracted gambler,  you lose more than a focus gambler.
1107  Economy / Economics / Fake support? on: May 29, 2023, 10:19:49 AM
Things are now looking different for crypto in china right now, I thought china will be the most hateful country on crypto after they destroyed so many asics that belongs to crypto miners in the country and crypto mining was also banned.

Now china is now taking the biggest approach to embracing web3 and support some crypto projects, since china has banned Bitcoin over 6 times in the past do you think this is another fake move?

I know that Hongkong is the soul location that's doing all this crypto thing, do you think that the whole country (china) will benefit from this or this case will be that Hong Kong will be the location for crypto things?

What's your belief on these? Are they trying to beat the US to it? Because right now the US is playing dumb with crypto and china sees a better opportunity in crypto, what do you think?how will this end?
1108  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: As a Gambler and a Die-Hard Fan of a Club Would you Bet Against your Club on: May 29, 2023, 09:41:36 AM
Why not? Gambling is not about supporting your favourite sports or football stars, it's about making money, so yes I can bet against my favorite club, when it comes to making money it is far different from supporting what I like and love, two different things entirely.

It's same reason why some football clubs and few other sports make more money when they lose a match, they already took a deal and the deal becomes a success only if they lose a match.

Never ever trust anyone when it comes to money, because anything is possible with money, even the law can be meddled with if the offer of the money is very good, what was once impossible can become possible in a blink of an eye, all because of money.  
1109  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why the disagreement between the Government, Bank and Bitcoin? on: May 29, 2023, 08:19:20 AM
I've never seen where the government became friendly with something they can't control, why is Russia in war with Ukraine right now? If they can't control something they either take it by force or ruin it and if they can't ruin it they will hate it till the end of time.

If the government loves something, they are getting big benefits from the thing, in the case of Bitcoin, nothing will settle the hatred between the government and Bitcoin, nothing, the only way they can benefit is keep hating and slowing down its adoption, yet causing panic still makes them get some Bitcoin and later dump on the investors.

No one can tell me that the governments are not buying Bitcoin, they like the advantages that comes with having money e.g. making more money but they are mad for not being able to track down Satoshi Nakamoto and take control. 
1110  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: increased Youtube Gambling ads? on: May 29, 2023, 07:06:33 AM
I'm asking out of curiosity, are you guys experiencing a surge of gambling ads on youtube videos lately? this past week I've experienced an increased encounter of gambling ads on videos I watch on youtube. it's not that it bothers me, I am just surprised because I don't remember getting this many gambling ads on youtube videos in the past, but this past week, I usually get a gambling ad from 2-3 out of 5 videos I watch(it's just an estimation because of how often I get the ads). I don't know if it is because I recently watched several videos of streamers gambling or it's just a coincidence, I've watched streamers gambling videos in the past but I have never gotten this many gambling ads.
If i'm not mistaken, ever since Youtube uplifted its ban on gambling ads, that's how whenever you are watching any of these kinds of videos (i.e gambling related, investment related or how to make money related videos), you will always come across those ads, of which I think maybe this period you might have been watching more of either of those 3 kinds of videos often for you to have been shown more of gambling ads, which I have also noticed about Facebook recently displaying gambling and the very ads I noticed the most is "Coin master".
I use a Android smartphone and a desktop PC, I have noticed that what we look for using google search engine will impact how our phones react in giving out information, news and advertisements, it's like those gadgets are build in a way that they know their users better than anyone, once I look into Chelsea football club, my prebuilt news app will always give me updates about Chelsea football club and important information going on with the football club.

What you use your gadgets for will be the way it will function on the users behalf, It doesn't take a thing to find out if your friends are fraudsters or por* addicts, just get a hold of their phone of PC, without looking into their search or browser history you will know what they have been up too.
1111  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: "Crypto will never reach mass adoption if it does not before more user-friendly" on: May 28, 2023, 01:43:02 PM
Till date I still can't figure out how to use the lightning network on Bitcoin and I have been into crypto since 2017, I know that I can learn this in just a day or let's say few hours but it's not needed I believe, and it feels like another heavy weight that I am not ready to lift.

Many projects have their weakness and advantages, some are less easier to get involve with and some are hard, pulse chain for example, I found it difficult to get involved with, to use the bridge people waited for day for ordinary swap.

Which crypto is more user friendly shouldn't be the title of the day for discussion, but a proper manual instruction on how to use will be welcome, I hate trying to get Into a project and I will have to use my time to search about how to use the project.

if a project will be more user friendly and simple to use it's on the developers, they need to make their coins user friendly by making a tutor available on the projects website themselves, it's a shame that most projects leave everything to users to figure out on their own, some time I will have to join a projects telegram channel and ask how to set up their wallet or the link to their software.
1112  Economy / Economics / Re: Russia and others, move to use Yuan instead of dollar. on: May 28, 2023, 12:10:55 PM
Why do I still feel like this whole hate on USD won't work? I have nothing much to say about this plan but I don't see USD getting taking over by Yuan, if fee countries decide to turn their back on the US dollars what about the rest of the world? This is going to fail woefully on the long run.
1113  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: An Intriguing article: How to Perfect Your Gambling Strategy on: May 28, 2023, 11:33:42 AM
Not all this advice is good, gambling is not trading, with trading you need to know how to read the chart but with gambling you need to rely on luck, one is chart reading and the other is pure luck.

People think they are good at gambling but don't know that it's pure luck, why is it that your wining is few and your losses are higher? This is the true definition of gambling.

Trading is way better than online gambling, losses is highly possible with trading but it can be avoided, and you will have positive results in trading than gambling, gambling is pure luck.
1114  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why choosing instant withdrawal casinos on: May 28, 2023, 08:49:46 AM
When I was still new to online gambling, instant withdrawal is something that makes me not trust line casinos, I see the whole thing as a bully, you make deposits on the platform and it gets into your account instantly, but when it's time to withdraw your fund's things start looking sluggish, and that's why I lost interest some times in those online gambling platforms until I start seeing better ones that support instant withdrawal.

Lack of trust will develop in gamblers once they notice that the casino doesn't support instant withdrawal, a smart developer must include an instant withdrawal on their platform, this will attract more gamblers, they will be able to trust such a platform. 
1115  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: DeSantis promises to protect bitcoin in presidential campaign launch event on: May 27, 2023, 06:50:58 AM
It's a political game, I would say you should not trust these players that much, because they can get elected and go back on their words, in this world trust nobody, supporting Bitcoin right now is a good plus for those politicians because it will add more to their chances of getting elected, anything can happen if they become the next president, at that time, no one will be able to stop them.

I won't support any politicians because they are the real example of a chameleon, they pretend to want to support but they change immediately after they get elected.
1116  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can you give one reason why I should buy bitcoin? on: May 25, 2023, 10:10:59 AM
To me, Bitcoin was once 100$ and it went up to 69k, I have never seen anything as valuable as Bitcoin, and in coming years Bitcoin can male it to 150k easily, I don't want to miss this chance again because many more people are seeing Bitcoin as the valid digital gold with lots of potential for real store of value.

As for you, I don't think you need anyone to confuse you, if you can't confuse yourself you have failed as a smart thinking human being, because everything about Bitcoin is transparent, it's easier to decide if you will invest or stay away from Bitcoin, so why are you trying to stress people to confuse you to invest in something that can change your life im future? You don't need to be confused.

Google has the answer to everything Bitcoin, the history of Bitcoin is also a very good thing to look into as well, this digital currency has never failed to surprise haters since its launch and it's been years, it withstood every FUD and hates and many haters end up having 100s of Bitcoin in their asset portfolio today, many more will come, it's a matter of time.
1117  Economy / Economics / Re: Success in finance and investment is a journey of finding your true self on: May 25, 2023, 09:15:15 AM
It's generally not a bad advice but something is not right still, I am a PC and Console gamer, I spend time playing call of duty a FPS game almost every day, I have friends online in different part of the world but let me get one thing straight,  I don't joke with my future goal, my daily routine is staying up to date in crypto and investment, and at the same time, enjoying and having some fun playing games online.

We are build and disciplined differently, there was a time where things are going out of place for me and I stopped gaming for a whole year, my gaming PC gathered dust and I don't even give attention, I focused so much on making something work out for me, trading courses and more.. In the end it works, but it has another impact on me, I stopped smiling, the people around me noticed this, they said I have changed, a old woman living in same compound told me that whatever I was doing I need to take a break.

Imagine that kind of thing, I lost the sight of my surrounding, so brothers and sisters, too much of everything is bad, a mixture of hard work and fun is better and one won't affect the other, it's a good way of living, also no one knows when you die, you can sleep and fail to wake up the next day.

Work hard and Play hard.

That's women for you, if the man won a life changing money now you will see a different reaction, bit I can't blame her, getting wrecked because of gambling is very bad and for someone who has a family it's going to be bad, for the woman and the kids.

If you can beat the desperate taste for gambling then you have no problem, if you can gamble responsibly like others have said on this forum then it won't go bad, you will lose some money for sure but not a life ruining situation like some gamblers get themselves into.

The reason why I can't get addicted or have passion for gambling is because the losing part is inevitable, I don't want to know how smart you are, you will lose money when gambling, that's why using small amount of money is the best.

Always ask yourself, if I lose this money do I still have a life to go back to? Some people go extra miles, using some funds that's meant for securing a good life for your families and use such money for gambling, when losing is the game of gambling.
1119  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamble Responsibly on: May 25, 2023, 07:59:39 AM
I've sent three months off gambling, because something unexpected happened with my job and I couldn't make extra income that I can use to gamble, I just put a stop ⛔ on gambling and I wasn't hungry for it, this makes me feel happy about myself, because the gambling addiction stories that I have heard about have everything to do with unsatisfactory, addicted gamblers never feels satisfied even when they can't afford to gamble, that is why we see people taking a loan or borrowing money from friends to gamble and the moment they lose the money they may turn to more evil way like stealing or forcefully taking money from strangers.

Can you take a break from gambling? If yes, how do you feel after taking that break? That's when you will know if you are getting addicted to gambling or not, if you feel nothing then you are in good hands.
1120  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never Expect Consistent Winnings From Gambling - A Lesson I Learnt. on: May 24, 2023, 10:10:50 AM
Consistent winning in what way? There is no way you can keep winning on a online casino unless you are playing a game that is based on skills, and most gambles on casinos are based on luck, so if consistent winning is happening you should be aware that you are just lucky, I don't expect you to keep playing the game while you keep winning, I expect you to take your gains off the gambling platform, if you keep winning to a point, the gambling platform might think you are using something and they will restrict you.

Some casinos will even stop you from withdrawing your wins because they will believe that something is off, maybe after proper investigation they can allow you to withdraw your funds.
