1101  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A tip for staying resposible while gambling. on: November 11, 2023, 03:16:22 PM
I know people who, every time they lose a large amount of money, vow not to gamble again. Several days pass and everything starts again, the promise that one bet will be made is forgotten after three minutes of play, and the excitement switches consciousness to unconsciousness. Saying or asking people to be careful when playing, if they are very gambling, is simply letting air out of their mouths. Until something global happens in their destinies, or until conscious treatment begins, it is useless to talk about the importance of taking care of oneself.

All matters on personal or self control and moderation.There are indeed some people who are really that good on giving out some advises but on the time that they are the ones who do get involved
with gambling, it turns out that they are the ones who are really that impulsive and ended up on having those kind of bad decisions towards gambling activity. Being responsible?
You cant really be able to say so when you are the ones who are really that in their foot or simply having that gambling experience of your own.
It would really be just that a matter of someones jurisdiction and moderation in relation into their gambling habit and decisions to be made on.

~snip~
On a normal, it is not everything one should be telling their friends. These days things happens even in the family too. Friends should not every time be in the know of your updates as these days friends are not what you think they are. So he has a reason why he did what he did. Only him is liable to his actions and owe no explanations to anyone why he took that steps to relocate and refused to tell his friends about hi is success. Like I said initially in other posts that " their is no smoke without a fire".
You are right. We should not tell all our personal things to friends because not all friends can protect what we say. We may only tell it to close people in our circle, but we also have to tell them not to tell it to other people. Actually, other friends don't need to be curious about why he did this, but because we are a society, it will make other people feel the need to know what is happening to the people in their environment. But moving to a new environment might solve everything because they won't meet those curious people, so they will be calmer in living their lives.
There should always be that kind of limitation on which it would really be just that normal that we would really be that having those kind of privacy specially on things that arent meant to be shared.
We do know that there are things life which needs to be private on which even our loved ones wont really be that anytime to know on what we are dealing with. On the time that you do have a big
win and your friends do knows about it then you would really be having that kind of hassle on trying out to make some explainations on the time that they would really be asking for some bonus or amounts just because you have won something. Some might dont care but majority even your own family will really be asking after a win but well family is family
and nothing beats out our family in terms of relation on which i would rather choose on giving into them than with other people.

Nice platform but unfortunately without license

Maybe since they are newly established, that may be a consideration which they may work on later, i think they are just starting being the first time, it may be tough for now and also comes with alot of demands including financial aspects, but yet they should look forward to making most of the observations they were being corrected of to see them effectively implemented on their site, i also think this has to be a little more process required to get their license approved possibly, every other requirements needed should also be well taken into considerations.
Launching a casino is challenging but it is more challenging promoting it here with so many important features missing and the representative not fully acquainted with how things are going here to get the full approval of the community.

They can still correct or add all these recommended steps and features along the way but it needs quick action on their part, OP is not yet wearing a copper account which is a recommended requirement for any developer or representative of projects here, if they want to be competitive here they have to implement and act on members suggestion, and the title of their thread is not something that will generate interest, there is no slogan to make it appealing to potential players.

That's why its important to take not all of those suggestions they receive from the community since that is what they like to see on their casino and if they fail to meet the expectation of people following their thread then maybe they can't convince people to test or play on their casino. There are so many competitor exist here which is more reputable than them so they must do more  effort to make people de ide to play and make their casino as their alternative platform where they can spend their time with. For now its good to see a new casino launch in this forum and let see if they can able to compete with other big casino since this might be beneficial to us since we can see a lot of promotions running or get a great offers from them that's why its good to see a good competition of those casino since it adds on fun part to as a players.

Many thing to improve and if they are serious for sure they will do all important suggestions drop by some users here.

One of the things that they should really be that thinking of on which it would really be that ideal that you should be making or giving out considerations on what the community is really be that suggesting on which you should really know to point on which idea is considerable and which one is not but most of people here would be suggesting to those common steps made out by new platforms
here on this platform on which we know that exposure would really be that something crucial. If you do make yourself that missed out or doesnt put up some attention or care about
community suggestions then dont get surprised that your site wont really be getting that much traction later on.
1104  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you keep a record of winnings and losses in gambling? on: November 10, 2023, 11:53:13 PM
I dont really feel like to have that way on which making myself do really have that kind of tally on which it would really be just giving you off that kind of negativity on the time that you do see on how much you have already lost money.For you to have that kind of track then it would really be your choice because there are people who do really love on seeing everything or the method or ways that they would really be making themselves that able to trace up on where their gambling spending did go or having that kind of limit which it would really be just that depending on someone.
If you do love on having those kind of tallying or have some time on writing then its your choice but actually its totally been stated or shown in most platforms knowing on how much you have
deposit and how much you had wagered already.

I believe everyone has their own approach on how they realized if they are in profit or not.  Recording the inflow and outflow of funds in gambling is essential if we wanted to track instantly if we are in a losing side or still in a positive gain.  This way we can give ourselves a time to think whether to pause our gambling activities or continue with it.  Sometimes we missed important factors like the time when we are wondering why our finances are not doing good.  With tallying our gambling activities' gains and losses, we can easily picture out what is to adjust.

Since the budget for gambling fall under the finance management, it is always a good thing to have a check and balance of everything.
If we want to track it then we could actually do it because we do know that that those stats are really that been recorded or something that you could see and make out some calculations directly
into your mind on how much you have earned and how much you have lost. You can also check out your deposit history on which it would really be that so impossible that you wont really be able to
check it out. This is why having some tally is somewhat really that not that much needed on doing manually considering that everything could really be seen and some that that could really be that checked out. This is why it is really just that too hassle if you are really that always consider on making some tallies manually if you could really be able to see it automatically.
1105  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lotteries and possibility vs. probability on: November 10, 2023, 10:59:20 PM
How will you know if you actually selected the right number or not if not until the result comes out, it's so interesting to see that despite the way people are driving their minds away from lottery, so many are still applying because they want to try their own luck and doesn't want to limit that with gambling alone.
You can't. In fact, in most lottery games you don't even choose the numbers.
You just by a ticket with some random numbers on it (usually the numbers are hidden and you need to scratch the ticket to see those number) then wait for the result to be announced to see if you were lucky and bought the winning ticket. I suppose this is done to avoid collisions so there will be only one winner if any.
Anyway, I believe it's a misunderstanding as I don't think he meant to say "select the right number" but rather "buy the lucky ticket".


I’m pretty sure that a standard lottery let you choose number. The only lottery type game that let you have a random winner is the keno type lottery but that is not the standard lottery that often contains the huge jackpot.

Also the scratch part is for scratch card which is mini games on lottery outlet. I didn’t see one that you are describing that is being use on national lottery here in my country. We are using standard lottery adapted to the US so I’m pretty sure that we have the standard lottery. What country do you live? And can you provide reference? I’m curious on how this kind of lottery looks like.

Let's assume both of you were equally right in your opinions, but let not forget that lottery offers come in different forms from different bodies, there are some that are government initiatives while other aspects belongs to the NGOs and the last categories are the ones coming from the gambling sections, so i believe each category we may fall to would have their own policies and standard procedures for making an application and the general conditions they have in common is the luck aspect in its application or chances of being accepted, irrespective of their selection criteria.
There's no much difference if we do speak about those lotteries which been ran by the government but there would be noticeable difference if we do speak about online lotteries but in overall concept on how the game been done or in terms or speaking about mechanics then we do know that its something not much that different. There might be some difference in terms of other aspects but really that much. When playing lottery then expect that odds would really be that close to possible and this is why its never been that recommendable that you should be spending tons of money
in buying tickets since we know the odds are really that less or something not really that worth if you do heavily being that too optimistic about it.
You would be finding yourself on such big trouble if you have that way.
1106  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Winning Wisely: Strategies to Protect Your Bankroll on: November 10, 2023, 10:31:12 PM
I have created a pdf of this rule for me which I am sharing with you. I hope you find it useful.

Act promptly if your emotions start influencing your decisions. Both excessive fear and greed pose significant risks.
And the most crucial and very important one we always say on this forum is "gamble with an amount you can always afford to lose at every moments", because just as our faces differs, so do how much we can always afford to lose also differs to, and as such, it's always very important for every gambler to draft down how much is he/she willing to lose at once in a game, because just as a gambler intends to make profit, so do the casino operators also wants to make more profit from people losing their games. Hence, at this point it's very important for a gambler to be wise enough to know when to strike and when to stop, so as to try again later in other not to lose more funds that you never planned on losing.

this amount is easy to determine as you know how much capable you are to spend something like in gambling. so before you even start your game, set aside the amount that you can spare on your games. if you happen to spend more on that, it means, something will be compromised in your budget and that is for you to take accountability of.
gambling will always be gambling. you already know what you are staking on here. so don't be in denial with yourself.
As a human being on having that right size of brain and having that good amount of brain cells then it would be that impossible that you cant really be able to assess things on whats wrong and what bad.
If you are dealing with something like gambling then it would really be just that understandable that you should really be that spending on the amount on which you can afford to lose. Winning is instant
and also or likewise with losing too and we shouldn't really forget that house would always win in the end or simply luck isnt in our side all of the time on which it would really be just that normal or wise
on doing so on having that kind of moderation in terms of spending because if you dont have such thing then you would really be that spending more and its not something
recommendable.
1107  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you leave gambling if your future wife/husband tells you to do this ? on: November 10, 2023, 10:17:45 PM
Yes, you have chosen the right choice just like me, because of course we also don't want to lose people we love, for example a future wife or already a wife, I think there are still many ways to gamble with fake money where we can play with a demo account at several casinos. or applications, sometimes I still play poker on my cellphone using the application in the Play Store and it's still fun even though I don't use real money.

But luckily I have a wife who doesn't forbid me from gambling and she only limits my budget to gambling, but not a lot every weekend, so there's no problem as long as she manages it because she's good at managing my finances and can be a financial advisor apart from being a wife. . The point is, whatever it is, be honest with your future wife or wife so that there are no lies in the relationship we are in and end up losing our wife, as much as possible, take care of her feelings.  Grin

Well you have a good wife then, but gambling with a budget is necessary  Cool. We dont want to lose all of our hard work money for nothing right.

I actually installed the playstore version but currently, they banned  Grin From Play Store I made a jackpot last time but made a small deposit around 1$ I think playstore gonna banned this game for a long period of time
Only fools who would really be having that kind of mindset on trying out to spend up the money which is more than that they could be able to earn.Getting beyond with those things
then you are really just making the bad decision of your life.If your future wife do tells about on quitting gambling then she probably see that you are really that spending too much
or she do prefer on trying out to get rid of potential problems that might exist into your marriage life. She cant really just that can afford to see that his partner
is really that involved into something which do really involves money spending. Yes, if everything would really be in moderation it is really just that fine but thats what if
they would really be making those considerations but if not then you dont have no choice but to quit for good.
1108  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: No scam sportsbooks on: November 10, 2023, 09:59:27 PM
This is how business should be and if there's really a cases that they drive out the winners then maybe they are a scam casino and doesn't want their gamblers to win so we should avoid that.
You clearly have no idea how sportsbooks function. Most sportsbooks are considered soft sportsbooks which implies that they don't like consistent winners and chase them away by limiting their bets.

Only few books are considered sharp like Pinnacle, Bookmaker etc which welcome winning punters and don't chase them away at all.

I don't know why some people will just out of their own personal assumption made a conclusion on what is not it, why are they thinking that sportbooks are being manipulated by the providers, if this had been that easy or possible to achieve then why are sone gamblers still found winning over the house, or maybe we should ask why many gamblers are still interested in going after this while gambling.
There's always that reason and its not something that you can removed on human beings.  Grin

Stay or deal up on the place on which you do seem comfortable, some might be having that notable difference in terms of handling out their bettors or customers
We do have tons of choices in speaking about platforms and its up to you which one you would really be deciding on where to play. Lists above given
about those sportsbook that currently existing, it might not be updated considering that there are new platforms as of this moment which is also
that considerable in speaking about reputation and legitimacy.
1109  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Gambling Generally An Illicit Activity? on: November 10, 2023, 09:25:25 PM

Gambling is not illegal but because there are countries that prohibit it, that makes gambling illegal. But even if gambling is illegal in a country, it doesn't stop people from gambling because they think that gambling is a quick way to make money. Online casinos are not illegal if the country allows gambling and it is true that this depends on each country because that country is the one that permits gambling. If a country prohibits gambling, people should not violate the prohibition lest they be punished for gambling. There must be rules that regulate gambling, whether they legalize it or make gambling illegal.

Gambling is not the illegal in the many countries,because it generate more economy flow and also control the money flow in the country.The developed countries doesn’t worry about the legalisation of the gambling,because most of the gambler will have enough money for their survive and use the free money for the gambling.If the gambling site was prohibit by the government,nearly 60 percentage of the population will follow the rules blandly.So the government plays the huge role in the gambling movement in that country.But some people the rest 40 percentage doesn’t worry about the government rule on the gambling.
It would be considered to be illicit because it do becomes a tool for money laundering and other correlated transactions on which it would really be that resulting into these kind of illegal activities.
This is they the community would really be having that kind of impression without even trying out to realize that its been long time that fiat money had already been that something like this.
It is really just that there are people who are really that kind of conclusive approach basing up on their initial impressions towards gambling. They wont really be that making themselves
that be trying out to be open minded whether its been a sole reason or just basically on being a tool. We do know that things could make out involvement and ending up
on having that bad integrations on something which it isnt right in speaking on approach.
1110  Economy / Gambling / Re: what are the best crypto casinos! on: November 10, 2023, 09:05:51 PM
All of us have different perspective in life so we can not say that we are all the same feelings in one casino, here's a thing which you want to play in that casino cause you felt good and you already withdraw your winning amount. but not all the gamblers want that casino too.
In reality there are many trusted casino out there so we can choose where we can play all we need to do is to read the feedback of the players who already try on that casino .
You're actually right, one man's food maybe another man's poison, gambling comes with different tastes depending on the platform we are using,  we may choose to have a particular gambling experience when we are placing bet on a casino and discover another platform having different games and we may not have that same interests in that as the former one, gambling is what we should seek after being satisfied with what we are looking after irrespective of the gambling platforms, if we also have a trusted feedback, we can work on it as well.
I believe that a gambler would mostly look for a platform that can provide the best services like good customer service, user-friendly and good user interface, good original games, availability of games from all game providers, and most importantly, quick deposits and withdrawals, without any issues and interruptions because problems with finances can make someone irritated and one would want a seamless experience where they shouldn't face any sort of issues at all.

So, any platform, as long as it's providing all the things I've mentioned above, will be liked by a true gambler. There aren't a lot of gamblers who would get attracted by bonuses and promotions without looking at other and more important aspects, a platform with no trust and reputation but with good bonuses wouldn't attract an experienced gambler.
If you are just new into this gambling market or world then it would really be just that common sense that you would really be finding into those platforms which are known and reputable.
Although there are some who are really that lost of track and test out those new ones or non heard off until they would be experiencing some problems and making out those regrets in the end.
It isnt really just that taking up so much time and effort for you to be able to find out on which ones are the best and which one are not. There's a list given and its impossible that you
would be looking into other places on which you would really be that basically be sticking into something which is reputable since you've been thinking that you wont
really be having any problems yet everything that you do need is already there.
1111  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dangerous chasing losses on: November 10, 2023, 08:55:48 PM
Many can't stop after experiencing another loss as a result of continuing to gamble, but that doesn't stop them from immediately quitting gambling. They still choose to deposit more money and some gamblers will increase the bet amount because, according to them, it will be a big win if they win. But again, they lost and the money ran out.
Yes, it's almost the same as what OP did, but as we can see that OP managed to recover his losses and it must be remembered that OP's success was only a small part, not everyone can do that and be lucky to recover their losses, it is very risky to do what he did. OP did, he talked about his success but it would be a different story if he talked about his failure, it would be an important lesson for the OP too and his fellow gamblers on this forum.

I'm sure everyone must have heard OP's story thinking that it could be done successfully but it's clearly very wrong and there's a high risk of increasing the bet amount just to return the loss, that's clearly not justified, I also always remind myself when playing has reached the budget and lost, I I will leave the game without having to catch up on the losses I experienced because I gamble not prioritizing money but pleasure.

Not everyone can duplicate what the outcome did OP experienced, and it's safe to say that most of the time, the outcome turned to the other side,  instead of recovering and enjoying with small winnings,  the gambler who chased their loses add the money they replenished to another amount that they've loss.

It's going to be that way since when you are trying to recover, there's already aggression that you feel inside you.  Which can lead you to bet big to recover quickly, but most likely you will lose again.
Aggression would really be there and it would really be just that so normal that on the time that you would really be losing up your money or entire bankroll on a particular session then this is where
these emotions would come out on which it would really be that normally be giving out that kind of idea that it isnt really that too far off on trying out to break even those losses on which means
that chances that you would really be making out such deposit would really be likely and it would continue until you have lose on everything on that particular session. People wont stop
not unless if  they do have that nothing left into their pocket or account. As long they do know or have in mind that they could still be able to play since they do still have
balance then they would really be doing it no matter what.
1112  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Tapales for Unified Super Bantamweight Title - December 26 on: November 10, 2023, 12:12:29 PM

As for the long training time of Tapales which runs for more than 4 months and sparring high-level fighters in the very first month are very unusual. Normal fighters train between 2 to 3 months. They start light, go hardcore, and sparring is part of the final stages when the body is nearing its peak. Most fighters who overtrained in the past lost their fights which is why it is uncommon nowadays to have very long camps. But we'll see how this goes. I am somehow hoping for Tapales to show something big in this fight.

Tapales is pushing himself to train harder than his usual routine, and we can't blame him for it. He's going up against the best in the world in that division, and even though he's a champion himself, people see Inoue as more dominant. So, Tapales has to prove them wrong and earn the respect he deserves.

It's good to hear that Tapales is pushing himself very hard in training. That is the sign that he wanted to really show that he is the one that will give Inoue the lost. And we like that kind of mindset for a boxer and I think they all learn it from the great Manny Pacman Pacquiao. I mean you could have all the talent in the world, but if you don't put your ass off and train hard, you will end up for nothing.

Moreover, if Tapales were to win this fight, he would bring honor to the Philippines, and people might start thinking of him as the next Pacman. Just imagine, a pound-for-pound top fighter falling at the hands of a Filipino underdog champion. That would certainly grab major attention once the news gets out. But for that to happen, Tapales needs to ensure he scores a massive upset win here.

Definitely, I don't think that the Philippines has a reigning world champion except himself at this time. So he needs to continue and fight and should be retaining that belt at all cost as he doesn't want to earn the year without any Filipino champion. He needs to sacrifice more to continue the Filipino tradition and follow the path of Manny and other great champion before him.

even when tapales is in his prime years, he'd lose this fight. Inoue is just a different monster, tapales be lucky if he survives 12 rounds but most probably it's going to be Inoue by KO.

betting is still yet open but the odds will probably be Inoue 1.3 vs Tapales 3.4 you have to be a die-hard fan of Tapales to actually bank on him. he is a champ though and by any chance there will be an upset, it's a facepalm to Inoue fans.

Cant really still make out some conclusion yet on which we do know that there's always that a chance for an upset and that would really be definitely be giving that huge facepalm on Inoue's fans.
You are right that beating up the monster is really that hard and something a very tough challenge in Tapales career but he wont be called a champion for nothing.
They do make out preparations for this upcoming fight on which we could say that he's really that determined because he do knows on whats stake on this one.
3.4 odds? It isnt really that a  bad one but 1.3 for Inoue would be most likely be interesting to put up some all in bet.  Cheesy
1113  Economy / Gambling / Re: Top Halloween Online Casino Bonus or Promo on: November 10, 2023, 11:56:29 AM
I think that all casinos have some Halloween event. But in my preferred casinos the main events were only for deposit. And i didn`t deposit money on this event.
The same time i don`t like to spend time trying to catch a bonus and it is possible that i missed something. As i see it was possible to get free $100-$300 during the event.
There’s a lot of good casinos that offers a great promotion especially if there’s a holiday like this.
To name a few you can check Roobet and 500 casino as they have a lot of promotions and more events that encourage gamblers to play more. The next holiday is Christmas and I’m sure many sites will start campaigning their promotions so better to visit the best site and wait for it so you can maximize their bonuses.
I think that i have 2 ways to get bonuses. First way is to wait for some event and get greeting bonus and bonus for first deposit. In the second way i have to register right now and regularly gamble in new casino to increase my rating for getting bigger bonuses during event.
I`d prefer the first way but in such situation i have 2 problems - i need not to lose the start of the event and i will have wagering requirements, so i can`t change the casino for some time.
An attractive bonus for first deposit and attractive bonuses on various events are now offered by all casino sites.  So a gambler has to create an account on a new site to get the bonus for the first deposit.  But just using one site is enough to get bonuses for different events. Halloween is a religious festival and it is common for casino sites to offer bonuses during this time so it is very fun to take advantage of this opportunity to enjoy the bonus. So you can use your 2 ways. But before gambling turns into addiction, keep yourself under control
Only noobs would really be the ones whom do find attractive when it comes to these bonuses on which those knowledgeable or old time gamblers wouldnt really be seeing these bonuses to be that attractive considering that we arent that blind nor not be able to know about those terms and conditions that had been set. This is why it doesnt really matter if its holiday or whatever season or event it would be which still those bonuses doesnt really that looks good or something interesting not unless if i do see some free spins with having that less wagering requirement then i would might take this one but for those common or casual offers with those typical rollovers then it doesnt really shock me anymore. Just like on what i have said earlier that it is really just that good looking
for those noob gamblers but sooner or later they would really be able to realize on how shitty it is.
1114  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why gambling beginners must not joke with casino announcement on: November 10, 2023, 11:44:13 AM
Beginner gamblers really have to pay attention to how to find a trusted casino by looking in the right places. They can't just use a casino they got from a random review site because that doesn't guarantee they will provide an honest review. Many of these sites provide reviews because the casino has paid them, so there are still many people who fall into scam casinos. Scam casinos can easily fool beginner gamblers who are inexperienced because for them, it is still difficult to differentiate between scam casinos and trusted casinos, especially since they may not have found a trusted review site that only provides a list of trusted casinos too. Even if novice gamblers can find a trusted casino, if they don't take the time to read all the rules, dos and don'ts at that casino, they may still run into difficulties later. That is why they need attention to want to understand more about the casino.
They are newbies and beginners, they will not understand things until or unless they either experience them themselves or have someone around them who can guide them about the things that are right and wrong. If they don't have anyone around them for guidance and they are also not a part of a public forum like this where they could read such guides and posts, they will not have a choice but to choose a casino randomly from review websites or through a simple Google search and then it's their luck if that casino turns out to be a good one or not.

So, no matter how many times we say it and how many guides we post in every public forum, there will always be some newbies who won't be able to read them, and at the end of the day, they might become victims of the scam casinos that they join being clueless of their actual reality.
One of the most common behavior of a newbie on which they wont really be tending to heard of others suggestions or tips when it comes into something important. They would really be just letting their minds or ears not to hear up with other words on which they would really be following on what they do have.They would really be only making those realizations but it is already that too late or something unfortunate things had already happened.Also it would really be always important that you should really be that wary if there would be some sudden changes when it comes to terms and conditions on which you wouldnt really be putting up yourself into some potential trouble. You wont really be making yourself that too careless or simply just that not caring at all on what are the potential issues
that you might encounter.

For example, those of us who always experience defeat must be annoyed with the defeat that is always obtained, and if we continue to lose we will be different, whether it's behavior or something like that, from here other people or family can guess that we are having problems. Inevitably we tell stories because it's impossible to keep it to ourselves, because basically everyone needs a chat buddy to ask for direction or something like that.

That's for sure, because I myself am not good with my family, so that's why I prefer friends instead of family Grin. Even though family gives encouragement to stop gambling it's not easy for a gambler, I think most gamblers are also like this, it's difficult to accept advice from anyone because they only focus on their gambling. It's useless for the family to give encouragement to stop if there is no awareness of the harmful effects of gambling on oneself, before going to family or friends and others, of course there must be self-awareness.
If that the case, the conclusion is that everything is in your own hands to determine what best for you, but my advice would be better if you openly tell about your gambling activities to your family, at least your younger siblings who you can trust and hide your gambling activities from your friends maybe now your friend is the best person for you but remember mate, friends will not always be good just because of a problem and your activities will be spread by your own friends and that is very scary and a worse experience is that a friend is hostile to his own friend just because get winnings from gambling and borrow money but are not lent after that, they become hostile and spread their gambling activities.

and this is just a suggestion, you dont need to use it and if your method is the best, its better to ignore my advice.

yes it is, because everyone has their own choices in determining something related to us, because we ourselves will also run everything in the future. The same is true in gambling, many decisions must be made properly because it will determine the future, not just making any decision, because behind the decisions they make there must be strong reasons behind it. therefore what they decide we cannot argue with it let alone change it if behind the decisions they choose there are strong reasons behind it.
I really appreciate your suggestion, and I might try it later, thanks for the suggestion.
So are you open with your own family about gambling?

However, what you said is the same as what I said in another thread yesterday, not much different. But it's true, sometimes because of money problems can forget about someone or friends and even family like you said, because it's sensitive.
Choice freedom is very important, and when it comes to online gambling, this freedom is used with every bet and play. Within the world of gambling, choices are not made in a vacuum; they are the result of a complex mix of personal judgement, risk assessment, and often very strong emotions. People who make these decisions are planning ahead, trying to guess what will happen and ensure they have power over the future of their stakes. Gambling is a serious game not for amateurs. Talking about gambling with my family means being honest. Like the saying goes, "laying all your cards on the table." Making a place where choices can be talked about clearly and without judgement is important, especially ones with big stakes like gambling

Your thoughts about how money affects relationships are very smart. Actually, money can make it hard to make decisions, weaken ties, and make rifts where none existed. Being careful, thoughtful, and acutely aware of how it might affect personal relationships is important when dealing with this sensitive problem
I dont really like that kind of feeling on which i do really keep on hiding on something or looks like that i have been tied up into my neck on which i dont really like on hiding and if ever i do have that kind of interest or habit on doing gambling then i wont really be shy on showing it. Who you people would really be that tending to judge on what im doing?
I dont really like on feeling being controlled and since its my money then they dont have the rights on what i should gonna do with my money. I would definitely be playing without any
hesitation and minding on what other people would be saying as long i would really be happy with my money then i would definitely do it.
As for my wife then she would eventually be able to understand if i do make out some explanation in regarding with my gambling habit.

It's so annoying when one is left helpless in using a casino when the contact system aren't giving the necessary attention to guide through.

It is mostly because agencies which are supposed to help people with problems like alcoholism, drug abuse, suicide ideation and gambling addiction are commonly unfunded, since most of them are non-profit organizations.

How can the agencies regulate gambling, this is beyond their power or reach, they may try to but it's not an easy thing to make regulations in this kind of situations, the agencies cannot be responsible for the way we gamble, wether to our own advantage or not they don't care, they only work to apprehend those found abusing or violating the ethics of gambling by getting engaged in any of the above mentioned characters.
Gambling addiction is something that cant really be that something that would be resolved out. Professional services about gambling addiction is something that we do know that they do exist
and there are indeed gamblers who are making use of those services or paying up just to make themselves getting out of addiction but actually there's no other way or method
that would help us out on able to quit up gambling but rather we would really be that have that will on stopping on point. Its a matter of discipline and control
when it comes to this manner.

If there are some services which do offer free service for these gambling addicts then this is something which is really that commendable.
We do know that giving out some guides or counseling does really consume up time and resource and effort on which giving out
or having it for free is something that good to look at somehow.

safest thing is just to plan from home to bring enough money to gamble and keep in mind to appreciate money, no matter how small. indeed gambling addicts will not think about this no matter how much money they bring to gamble but as a regular gambler it is better to always remember how gambling works just to have fun so you don't need to bring too much money to gambling and don't need to follow other friends gambling styles. .

Any addict will not value the money they need to pay for their craving.

The same happens with alcohol. It doesn't matter how much they are paying, an alcoholic will continue buying more and more bottles until they are broke.

Similar to a gambling addict, they will keep betting until they are broke.
Savings, emergency funds, investment funds.. All of those things would be neglected and would really be that forgotten on the time that they've been doing gambling.
We do know that its not something that we could really be able to think up on the time that we are gambling because our intent and hopes are really to make that huge
income or profit with it. As long you do have that kind of intent and impressions or views towards gambling then there's no way that  you could really be able to make
yourself that be stopping anytime soon. You would completely stop on the time that you would really be experiencing huge loss or doesnt have more money to proceed further.

What would you do if one day you won the lottery? What are you planning to buy and who do you want to include in your success?
First, I will stop gambling. Second, I will invest on Bitcoin, silver and gold coins and real estate. Third, build my dream house, buy a car, and my hobbies like guns. I prioritize needs before buying my wants. I also want to include my family, relatives and friends in my success.
Honestly if I win so much in the lottery I won't waste my gambling because if I gamble I will lose everything. It would be better to invest in bitcoins for the future along with meeting your own needs. There is no fear of losing here, the amount won in the lottery will double if you invest it for long term digital tokens like bitcoin can provide you with high levels of profitability. Real estate and gold will be impacted if the country's economy suffers bitcoin has no such implications for being decentralized.
This is a nice decision if you take this step if the same thing happens to you. Normally gambling is very risky and we need to understand how to bet and how to do things in a way that will profit us. There are some profits we needed to use and build other businesses so that we can grow and make more profits. Gambling is risky but we can do it in a way that would help us and achieve what we want and the kind of results that we want to be seeing. There are ways we can utilize to earn more profits for ourselves without stress.
When you do win on lottery and its your first time on getting a hand of a huge money then those kind of financial plans would really be something that would be out of your mind and thats for sure.
Why? We are just humans and we do have those kind of wishes and likes that we do want to buy on which it would really be that normal that you would be having that kind of reaction
on which you would really be prioritizing first on trying out to buy on the things that you do like until you would realize that you have nothing left with  those lottery winnings that you do have.
People would usually be ending up on having that kind of learning is on the time that they dont already have the money to spend on but well its already too late.
1119  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What impact does the BTC price have on your gambling habits? on: November 09, 2023, 10:59:21 PM
There's really no change. Nothing.
I am still playing the same amount not less not more. The change is in how much Bitcoin I input at every deal. Let's say I am using 200 satoshis for every round in casino games, now I am just using 100 satoshis because of the higher value of Bitcoin today. But when it comes to the amount of gambling hours, I didn't change anything, I am just more careful because I really want to win so that I can withdraw it if the planned amount of withdrawal is reached.

The same thing with my sports betting. I divided the amount that I was betting in 2 because I didn't want to get rekt easily as my main purpose was just to add more fun and be more entertained while watching the game.
The only things change is that on the fees involved on which we know that it is already that high and this is something that would hinder you on making some transactions but in overall
it is really just the same specially if you are really just making use of your Bitcoin which you would be always pertaining into its USD value. Yes, the amount of bitcoin would really be that less if the price is high and more if its low then it would really be just that according or depending on you on which one you would really be sighting whether you would really be applying some investment
approach or would really be just basically be spending those coins totally and dont care at all.

Recently one of my friends told me about some gambing / gaming sites  or apps like Orion Stars, Milky Way, Fire Kirin, Gamevault, Riversweeps,   Ultra panda and few others. 
He told that these are very popular games but i told that i am not aware of these sites. I first thought that they could be gaming sites but later i find out they have gambling games and are in fact casino.

A few of the sites / App links are http://web.pandamaster.vip/game/pandamaster/ , http://web.orionstars.vip/play/orionstars/

Has anyone known and played at these sites? Do let me how was their experience and what sort of games are there ?
Are they pure gambling sites or a mixture of gambling and gaming sites ? Although you need coins to play at these sites and you can redeem the winning coins into fiat money.

Im not aware nor having the experience with those sites mentioned but obviously these are really that games but people wouldnt really be that a fan on going into those places
which arent that known or popular. Of course we would really be sticking into something which we know that we could trust on, or simply the community is really having that kind of
positive approach towards it. Most of gambling platforms now do have that kind of casino games + sports betting kind of feature or option on which a certain
gambler could really just simply choose up which among the two you would really be preferring on playing.
