I can't deny that there are huge numbers of people who involve themselves in gambling and ruin his life including his family by keep losing all the money they have. They inject more money in gambling so that they could recover what they lost but they keep losing continuesly and at a time, they have no money to buy things they need even during emergency situation. Thats why if you can't control gambling that isn't for you. Honestly here in this forum, most of gamblers who discussion about gambling, have main source of income. Even they earn from bounties & signature and become responsible person during gambling. But I don't recommend gambling the person who is always out mind during gambling
I agree, too many lives have been ruined by gambling and the reason is gambling addiction. We can't blame gambling because we know that gambling can't really be used as an income by others, we also know that winning big or consecutively is just luck. It is up to the person how to handle and control themselves when it comes to gambling. So if you are weak-minded and often angry, gambling is not for you. Gambling is gambling, and gambling is just a series of games that involve money, and there will be no addict if there is no person who lets himself be addicted. You are right; we can't blame gambling itself or another person for why a certain person becomes addicted; they are the ones that let themselves be addicted; they don't control themselves, resulting in further suffering and bad happenings. Gambling should never be done by people who are easily swayed by their desired and uncontrolled selves to play gambling because, as long as they don't have self-control, addiction is inevitable. I also experienced being addicted to gambling at some point, but that didn't last long as I woke up from my addiction immediately. As soon as I noticed that my life was getting worse or that the path was getting worse, I'd come to the realisation that gambling should not be treated as a source of income; it should stay as entertainment only. |

However, I haven't seen or heard anyone say that he or she have built a house or bought a house with gamble money, maybe as it is hard to win in gamble it is also hard to use gamble winnings to achieve what we want.
Even if we have make a plans to buy something or achieve something, as long as it is while we are gambling, it will be hard to stick to the plans at that time we win money from gamble.
Although, it is only hard for those that are addicted to gamble and the new gamblers but if in any case they are so disciplined, then it will not be a big deal for them to stick to they plans that they have.
Maybe some people can really build a house or buy a house with gambling money but they don't tell it to many people and only those closest to them. But it is difficult to get big wins from gambling so many people cannot get it. They experience losses more often than wins so they cannot earn money from gambling. If you make plans to buy something but use the money you earn from gambling, you should forget about it because you won't know when you will be able to make money from gambling. You should look for money from other places that have more opportunities to make money than from gambling. Maybe it's possible as luck might bring you those opportunities and with good understanding and capability to handle situation like this you may leave the house and withdraw all your money to enjoy and use it for such leisures that you plan to do if by chance happens to you. Though the chances are slim, we never know, right? Lottery winners are a good example and they just learn with great luck to make it happen and to achieve certain goals. Yes but the chances are very small friends to be able to get that much luck, so I don't think it's too much to gamble, another thing like you said if you have gotten a little luck and won then it's better to go home immediately and enjoy the money from your luck, going home with a face full of smiles is better than you keep repeating the same mistakes like acting greedy and again going home in tears, situations like that are very boring, so you should have the opportunity at least once to be able to enjoy the results of your struggle when you are really lucky. I think whatever kind of gambling you do whether it's skill-based or pure luck like slots or whatever it is like the lottery you say honestly just never take it too seriously to get the results that match what you want, because if the end result doesn't match it's the same as you create a chance of disappointment for yourself by putting high hopes, so look for sure - just sure in my opinion. Well, as the OP said, we can't stop them from believing that they could win or that a gambler can earn more if they keep on playing. Well, what the OP says is true; we can't stop them from believing what they want to believe and to do; in fact, it's their own life. We are just here to give advice or whatever. It is also true that many people here are being hyprocrite about gambling, things about limiting the gambling habit, or whatever for the sake of posting here, so yeah, we can't debunk what they want to believe. Gambling is all about possibility—the possibility to have luck and win a big jackpot, or the possibility to be a loser in the end. It's all about possibility. If they want to risk that, or a gambler wants to risk that, then it's their own choice. We can't stop them; we are just here to give guidance if they need it, but of course the only ones who have the right to give advice are those who really have experience in gambling. |

Has anyone tried gambling on unfamiliar platforms maybe learnt through ADs?
I have been coming across 1 of the bet sites that always pops at the top of my phone while I surfs the net.
The truth is i prefers skill-based to chance-based gambling so I can prove and showcase my energies.
But decided to give this a try yesterday because it is a chance-based (online) gambling.
At the level of funding my bet wallet account, I requested to fund with $50 I rethink that $5 would be better as test run in building my trust since it was an unusual/strange bet sites.
I successfully funded my bet wallet, checked on the withdrawal section If there would be an access deny for withdrawal and luckily $5 is the minimum withdrawal rate which I proceeded and was successful. Then I refilled my wallet again and placed my bet.
As the game Kickstarted, I got chances to cash out while the value of my withdrawal fluctuates UPs and DOWNs and I had to place my withdrawal and made a cash out of $6 from a $5 bet.
At this time of a test run and trust level is worthy, I think I can proceed and place a higher amount of bet
This might been seem a drama to some of us here but the truth is that we really have to be careful on how and where we bets because lot of online (chance-based gambling) leaves you with a site of demo with its tools bars and graphics basis all to pin you down with most exciting offers that are not reality.
That's a chance I can't afford to take, I've had a previous experience with an online scam casino, just like you, I usually see the ads pop up and I decided to give it a try but the end result wasn't as like yours, I made a win on the site but wasn't able to withdraw my funds, I tried and tried and even tried contacting their customer service to no avail, I even tried calling their toll free number but still no way and that's how I love my money to those thieves, so I can never take any chances again, if I'm to try a different casino from the one I'm currently using, it needs to come highly recommended by someone I trust. You know, there's no need to do what the OP does, testing something like that; you don't need to do that or risk a little bit just to verify the legitimacy of the casino site, because, as you know, scams are surfacing around the net and they mostly do that, flagging their platform anywhere just to attract potential users or players, so it's common sense to be hesitant about something like that. If you are a wise gambler or player, then you would not trust a platform without validation. The validation doesn't need to be like that; you could verify a platform by reading their terms and conditions and also to see if they are certified to operate. What the OP does is risky; the amount is not too big, but still, with that method, you can't fully determine its legitimacy. What if in the second withdrawal it fails or it turns out to be a scam? Just the first withdrawal is bait. |

I don’t think demo accounts are good for new traders. It seems strange but you will lose less money if you just start trading with real money than demo money.
People on demo got no emotions and can easily turn $1000 into $1M with minimal effort. These people then just assume they are geniuses and borrow a large sim of money and start to trade big. Then they discover it’s not as easy as they assumed and run into huge losses. Hence why it’s better to just trade with small positions like trading Pennies because you will get some emotions and trade for like in real life.
I don't think so; the demo account was created solely for beginners. It is to be used to try strategies and skills; it was created so that beginners can try their skills and see if the knowledge they have is enough and effective; it will also help them to execute their strategies and see whether they will be effective or not; if they try in the live account, then they have practiced some executions in the market; and why would a beginner lose less money from a live account? It is the opposite; trading in a live account could cause their capital to be lost and, at worst, could decrease their confidence in trading. A demo account is very important and helpful for beginners, so don't think that doing a demo account first is a bad idea; in fact, it is a good practice to build up courage, skill, confidence, and knowledge. |

Well, it will depend on the age or parents. If they are doing gambling games, then they have the responsibility to guide the young age to do gambling; if the young age has a habit of gambling, then it's the older age's fault that they got influenced; if they don't want the younger age or their son to do gambling, then at the start they should not let the child be interested or even have an idea about the gambling game or gambling things. And yes, mostly children or this generation, most of them got influenced by old age or by their parents or grandparents. But even without the influence of old age, the child could be influenced easily right now by many means of gambling, like social media platforms, by their friends, and many more.

Snip a slightly bad experience for yourself when you do not have any limits in gambling and fortunately you have realized this and changed your bad habits for the better, yeah i think so, otherwise it could be worse. Still I'm not a professional in this field. And i don't think set up any specific target, is good for gambler cause thus you can not skip gambling until your potential winning amount is archived. Thats why you need to spend a lot of time, need to keep waiting until the perfect gaming situation come or place randomly which could be end up losing a lot. Cause luck won't support you always. So better to make it enjoyable than inject more money to gambling repeatedly to archive potential winning target after so many loses Well, that's good, setting no expectations when playing gambling, because if you set an expectation, then you will keep on playing to achieve it. Even if you have some profit, you will not stop until you reach it, which may result in a bad situation, like when, in the process of achieving your desired amount, you suddenly lose all the money you have, from having a profit to none. That's why it's much better to keep playing with the capital you have, and the capital you have is an extra or the money you can lose, and be satisfied with a profit you will gain, small or big. It's better to have a profit than to lose money or your capital. That is some of the problem for the gamblers; they expect much from what they have and have a strong desire to earn a lot, which is a very difficult event. So stop having an expectation to gain and accept the profit you can have. |

Hi all!
Ive noticed recently that more and more crypto sites are requesting KYC, and more and more restricted jurisdictions are being added to said sites Ts and Cs. This is a problem for a lot of people on this forum who like to gamble anonymously, and, perhaps use sites that are "blocked" in their home countries.
My question then is, which are the best countries that can access these sites without issues, and pass all KYC checks? I'd love to hear your opinions!
The most easy way to cope with that is to gamble at reputed and professional casino, not trying to scam their customers. Honest casinos won't ask you KYC and won't lock your funds because you're gambling from a restricted location, they will just not allow you to register, to login or to place bets from your location. And if you want to completely avoid that risk you can bet on web3 decentralized casinos. Otherwise I think rich western countries with liberal laws are the most safe. Exactly. People are now very afraid of KYC without knowing that it will protect both customers and the platform. Also, reputable crypto casinos are now requiring customers and the casino itself to implement KYC to avoid illicit activities and abuse of anomaly activities on their platforms. Also, many customers' problem is the KYC because many deposited their money on the platform and began to play, and after that, when they decided to withdraw their money and funds, the money was locked because the customer needed to pass the KYC first, which is why the problem occurred. That's why it's better to pass the KYC first before depositing money to avoid locked funds. Most countries enable access to casinos; they just need to pass the KYC to become eligible for money withdrawal. Customers or gamblers need to trust the casino requiring KYC because it will mean that they are legitimate and trusted casinos. |

I don't know you came about checking the ratio of your supposed stats but I do also feel some how when their is an increase in the bank roll of the gambler the risk involved is alot lesser per say the number of game accumulated will be reduced and the risk also will not be too much.
Poor people mostly lose because poor people are afraid to take the second risk and they don't have money to take a second risk or invest. There can be many other reasons such as those who are a little poorer mostly withdraw funds or withdraw portions of the profit and those who are rich keep the portion of the profit. As a result, the success rate of the rich is much higher than that of the poor. They just don't have the guts to take the risks, and they also don't have the means to take the risks. You see, there is a huge difference between rich gamblers and poor gamblers. Yes, we hear that mostly rich people win, but it is only on the front end. Look at the process of that win, and I'm sure there are a lot of losses before they achieve that win, or more or less, the losses are huge compared to the amount they win, while poor gamblers, or, let's say, middle-class gamblers, have only limited money to spend. Yes, they can borrow, but that is not a wise move by those poor gamblers. Also, rich people or rich gamblers tend to flex their winnings and hide their losses, just to say that they are lucky in terms of gambling, more like rich people thing. Anyway, in short, we can't compare rich and poor gambling. |

This process is already ongoing mate. I mean those students are taking this facilities to pay their University fees as well as their others goods payment with bitcoin but yeah, only happening in those countries which are already legalized Bitcoin for their people. But if any county doesn't recognize bitcoin, then the transaction would be considered as illegal and cause for punishment if get caught. Although government can't stop people who want to using bitcoin. But you mentioned bitcoin is unstable, that's true. There is also process to convert it immediately and nowadays i notice, cryptocurrency usdt is available for transaction due to make everything more easier
The owner of the school or university could decide on their own if they will accept a crypto currency payment, even if the government doesn't allow it, as long as the university or school is private. But the thing is, it is not applicable to public schools that are handled by the government. Cryptocurrency as a payment is still too dangerous and has a lot of things to consider before adopting and accepting it for transactions, especially for big transactions such as tuition. But it would be great if it were adopted; it could only mean that our industry and economy are taking a bigger step in terms of currency. It may be too far, but we can still see it happening, not just in tuition fees. Cryptocurrency payments can be implemented and applied to many transactions, such as daily lives or banking, which would be great. |

Talked to my wife. She tried to install a voice changer software yesterday from a link on twitter and it didn't install. This is a windows 11 PC. I see something new called WingFtpServer as a startup program. That has to be it. C'est la vie  If you are sure about that, maybe there are more reasons to check your PC and the applications available on it, and also make sure there are no hidden applications because most of those malware applications are making themselves hidden, so better run a diagnostic and full scan of your PC. But there are maybe more reasons, like what websites you are accessing; that's one reason for a malware or virus to get through to your PC. Anyway, sorry for the loss. It is regretful because the bitcoin amount is not a joke—11 BTC? That cost a lot, and I can feel how sad and heartbroken you are. If there is a way to recover your loss, I hope you've found it and recovered your loss. Now that you know what to do next, you need to keep your PC containing your assets safer. You should have a separate PC for personal things that could make your assets prone to malicious malware and viruses scattered around the internet. |

Bitcoin is powerful now and stands alone; it doesn't need something like a referral system, as some said referral systems are used by other businesses or technologies to attract more users; it is a way to promote their technology or business. But now, bitcoin doesn't need such a referral system to survive or to attract many customers and investors, as it is also a decentralised currency and was born by a unique and new technology such as blockchain, and we can't see how referrals will be applied in the system.
And if the referral system is possible in bitcoin, then Nakamoto, the creator of bitcoin, has already implemented it from the start. Also, the referral system is more appropriate for exchange platforms than bitcoin or crypto currency itself.

Almost never,I always have this though that if I check often I may slip and make some mistake and leave it in the open or someone might see it, once per year maybe.
But if you check it once a year, are you sure that the place where you stored your seed phrase is safe? What if you can't access the storage of your seed phrase? There are a lot of possibilities, or maybe I'm mistaken, as your statement lacks information. Maybe what you are saying is that you are using your seed phrase to check your wallet once a year. Then how can you remember your seed phrase, and if you don't memorise it, how did you store it, online or offline? I see there are a lot of questions, as your statement is lacking. Anyway, whether you store it online or offline, as long as you can access it once a year without having a hard time remembering and accessing your wallet, then it is good. Just a reminder, just like others say, better do encryption on your seed phrase; there are a lot of applications or programmes that offer that. |

True, but what is done cannot be undone. I guess there are many people or holders of bitcoin who, in the past, forgot about their wallet or lost their seed phrase, which is important for them to access their wallets, but that's their fault and also their biggest regret. It's just that they are the few who missed the biggest opportunity, or, let's say, bitcoin was in their hands but slipped. Well, it can't be helped.
They still have a chance to invest in bitcoin, and I think they do. Also, that's why there are a lot of bitcoins circulating in the market, or liquity; those are the bitcoins we considered locked or forever lost. For example, like what I've mentioned about forgotten wallets that contain bitcoins or hard drives that have bitcoin, there are a lot of stories regarding this scenario. So it's a lesson: keep safe with your seed phrases, as they are the keys to your fortune.

If ihave 1k how much to use margin for safe trade
To hold position for say two days
And which safe laverage to use
Since you are asking those questions I am guessing that you are a newbie, am I right? And if I am my recommendation is simple, avoid trading futures as it is clear you are not ready for it, even if your post is short I can get an idea of what you are thinking, since the amount of money you have available as your capital is small then you want to compensate this by trading futures and using leverage, but I can assure you that if you do that you will lose all your money relatively quickly. True, I agree that this OP sure does have the characteristic of going into something that he doesn't know; he wants to go into futures right away, which is a very risky way of trading. One wrong trade and all the money he has will all be gone. Assuming that the OP has little knowledge in trading, it is still good to trade all the capital he has in the future. If something goes wrong, he will have nothing to start over, so it's better to partition your capital and trade the amount that you are still okay with if it's lost. To minimise the loss of money, do that, but from how he asked the question, I guess he doesn't know what he was doing, then it will be very bad for him. I hope he listens to all the comments here. Don't start in future trading right away. Gather some knowledge, experience, and confidence first in spot trading before doing something that you are not good at. |

There are different scenarios. If a trader is confident with his trade and decision and he has enough knowledge and experience in trading, he will wait for the set TP to take profit or the SL to stop loss, but sometimes that's not the case. If TP and SL are just the margis, they can wait for the price to hit in either one of them, or a trader could close the trade early if he saw that the trade had gained some profit or a reasonable amount of profit, or if by any chance that the data or the movement of the market go against their analysis, they could minimise the loss.
But for wealth traders, they will close the trade if they do not have enough experience and knowledge in trading, and because of their emotions, they are easily nervous and scared if they see their trade going down, which is sometimes part of the market movement. Beginners in trading tend to do this.

I don't know if I would try to do the same thing as him. Moreover, it will cost a lot of money to solve the problem. But he really deserves to get his lottery prize, especially since he has put in a long time to get it.
I will see what needs to be prepared before I proceed with what I want. If I'm sure I can get it, I'll try it. And I hope my family members can understand and help what I am fighting for them.
But if all the evidence shows I'm a legitimate lottery winner, it probably won't take long. Everything will depend on who will be involved in the solution.
The problem is that the system or justice system in the Philippines is too slow. That's why I'm not shocked when I read that it took him 9 years of his life just to fight for what in the first place is his right, but the thing is, it's also his fault for not taking care of the ticket. I guess he also regrets that, but I salute how dedicated he is that in the span of 9 years he doesn't give up. The thing is, is it worth it? I guess they quite spent some money just to hire a lawyer and also fighting for the case, but still he finds a way to support that, luckily he won, and it's because of the evidence. If this happens to me, of course I will fight for it too. The amount is not a joke, so anyone will also do the same thing as the man in the story. |

I'm optimistic about crypto currency payments will be mainstream in the future but it is too soon for it to be called "soon" I mean its too soon to consider that the moment is neat because as we know crypto currencies are complex and hard to maintain as its value it changing because of the volatility, there are some establishments or business that allowed or accepting the use of crypto as a payment but it is few, also crypto currency payments are more on online transactions and also a few, those few who accepts cryptocurrency payments are the one that take the risk and stepping up to the new technology which is a great sight but many still hesitant about adopting it, also why I said that its still far for crypto to be mainstream is that there are a lot to be considered before filly adopting it.

Well, it's good that you concern yourself about staying away from gambling; that is a good move or limitation because gambling will not give you anything. If you really want to earn bitcoin, then you can start by researching on the internet or watching YouTube videos of what bitcoin is. You first need to know how bitcoin works, what its technology is, etc. So, you will have an idea of what technology you are into, then you can move into different ways to earn, like trading, which is common, but you can also earn from staking or doing commissioned works related to bitcoin, like graphic arts, so you can see those offers in the services section of this forum. Trading is a complex way to earn, and there's no guarantee that you will always earn from it, as even experts in trading sometimes fail. You can start by ranking up your bitcointalk forum account and joining the signature campaign, and you can accumulate some earnings there for starting.

Has anyone been able to make steady income with gambling ? If yes, what had been your strategy ? Do you diversify to multiple games in order to ensure that end result is always profit ?
I personally feel that there are very less chances of making a steady income with gambling. In fact, if you win a big amount in gambling, from there on , you should play games with less on stake and keep the winnings invested in some good option like crypto. It is important to have self control to end profitably with gambling ventures online. Do you agree with this ?
Gambling is not an opportunity to earn a steady income, so even though we can control ourselves well when gambling, in fact we cannot get regular profits from betting. I personally have tried investing in crypto with gambling funds, but this only lasted for a short time because after experiencing several losses I was forced to withdraw my investment funds and then deposit them back into the gaming account. We can plan anything in gambling but basically luck is what will determine victory when betting. That's true because gambling is just a place to have fun and spend the money we can afford so we don't need to try hard to win the gambling game because it will never be easy. You can invest in a casino by buying tokens, as is already available in several casinos, so you don't need to gamble and wait for the moment to take advantage. But, indeed, the temptation to continue gambling will still be there even if we have no intention of gambling because we will see attractive promotions from casinos so that can make us want to gamble. Yes, we can plan anything when gambling, but we should remember that we will never be able to win gambling games easily. If we still want to win the gambling game, we must be prepared for the risk of losing a very large amount of money. It also does not guarantee that we can win from gambling. Absolutely, instead of participating in gambling or relying on gambling to earn, take advantage of those crypto casinos that launch their tokens because, in the beginning, the value of the token will increase as demand is high, but of course it depends on the casino itself if they can market their platform. With enough marketing, more customers or gamblers will participate in the platform, and that is the opportunity to earn. But we can't stop those who think that gambling could make them rich or they can earn from it, as some hope to hit a big jackpot for a miracle, which is rarely happening and not all have that moment in life. But that is the goal of the casino owners; it is an advantage to them if many gamblers become addicted to their platform; others' misery is their fortune. That's why they always have attractive bonuses that could tempt the gamblers to keep on playing. |

Do you take these Psychic predictions seriously?
Nope, but I used to follow one of these psychic predictions that became popular in sports betting because he relied on his wind chimes to determine if his team would win and his luck was impressive. It was a fun experience but it's still not enough for me to take them seriously like the way other bettors post their reasoning behind their predictions. And I agree with the other posts that said it's more of a coincidence when we see casinos share these lucky bets that some of their players manage to land. True, but I'm in between, or, let's say, neutral. I can believe that they have the ability, or I can believe that it's just a coincidence. I will only believe if the predictions are consistently correct, because if they are, then the predictor, fortune teller, or whatever will be rich by now, but of course we can't judge them, even the gamblers who believe in them. We have our own beliefs, which could make us more confident in our bets or gambling decisions. But I do believe that most of those stories are just coincidences. Like I said, if they have the ability to predict and tell if they will win or what the winning decisions are, then they should be rich by now. It is not wrong to believe in such things, but it is wrong to just rely on them. What if a gambler solely believes in that kind of prediction and it doesn't turn out well? Will he blame the one who predicted it? or will he blame his beliefs? |
