I agree that emotions do play a role in our decision-making process, especially when betting. It's important to be aware of your emotional state to help you pause or assess when making rational choices. Stay calm, take deep breaths while betting to compose yourself. Set clear limits, set a budget and stick to it. And do not forget to take breaks, especially when you are feeling overwhelmed or emotional while betting to distract yourself and regain perspective. These are strategies that can help manage emotions while betting.
That's the point of learning self-control so that you can control your emotions so that you won't make the wrong decisions when gambling. Increased emotions when playing gambling will definitely occur so if your self-control is not good, you will be affected by the results you get.
If you feel an increase in emotions, you should stop gambling for a moment and take a deep breath and look at your condition. If you feel that you have had enough gambling, you should immediately stop gambling and leave the casino.
Having clear boundaries is necessary to avoid losing a lot so that you won't get emotional when gambling. This is also to prevent more losses and also to be able to leave the casino before you lose more money.
122  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Losing at gambling on: March 07, 2024, 06:38:20 AM
I've actually never experienced this situation, and I hope it won't happen to me. If I were in that situation, I would be really shocked, as the future lies ahead for the couple with no money left to live on. In addition, the psychology after losing a large amount of money in gambling is always accompanied by great psychological instability in the following days. Surely my wife and I will not be in the mood to continue doing anything during this time period. One important thing I think is whether we can get through this period or not depends on the other person. If one spouse is still there to encourage the other to continue overcoming it, I think things won't be too bad afterward. Otherwise, this will seriously affect the relationship between husband and wife.
I know that it is not easy for our wife or husband to accept forgiveness after we have used up all our savings to gamble, and if we have children, things will be even more miserable, obviously. You are irresponsible and especially do not think about your children. This is a story that I think is not rare, it still happens every day, so controlling your account when participating in gambling is a top priority, especially for those who have families.
Not being able to accept what our wife or husband has done is normal, especially if all the money we have is used for gambling until all the money is gone. It will be a tough time for us but anyway, it all happened.
We have to get up and get through these bad times and we can still encourage our wives or husbands that we can still get up and start all over again. That is a valuable experience for us so that we don't experience it again in the future.
It's better for us to learn that lesson and think about the next steps because that's what we must do if we want to change our lives. It may be hard to get up, but we have to try, especially if our wife or husband regrets everything he/she has done and he/she wants to show his regret by doing better things.

Well, that's exactly what people who don't do analysis do when they want to trade. They tend to keep waiting for a higher price before they sell.
But what they want will not always come true because the market will move anywhere without them knowing. If they can't know when they should buy and sell, they will have difficulty making a profit and it will only make them sell at a loss.
The best advice is not to be too greedy in taking profits. You can sell and take the profits if you see bigger profits. We must be wise in responding to what is happening in the market so that we adapt well.
124  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the most you have ever won gambling? What is the most you have ever lost on: March 06, 2024, 01:01:18 PM
Getting the best wins can improve our lives because we can use the big winnings well. But it depends on how well we can use the winning money because many gamblers who win a lot of money need to remember to allocate their winnings to their living needs.
If I get that big win, I will allocate it to all the needs to improve my life. I can start a business or several with the winnings, providing more income for me.
But most gamblers rarely get big wins and only gamblers with great luck can have that chance. We don't need to chase big wins because that is very difficult.
125  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: We might just have experienced the start of Bullrun on: March 06, 2024, 11:00:42 AM
It may be true that we have just experienced the beginning of the Bullrun but it looks like we have to be patient to see the ATH price of bitcoin. And with bitcoin's last ATH reached, we are now waiting for a spike in the price of bitcoin and will see what predictions bitcoin will be able to achieve.
Let's just follow this journey of bitcoin and whether it is $100k or higher, we will see the next high price of bitcoin. That will make people who already doubt bitcoin not believe what is happening with bitcoin. They have underestimated bitcoin since its price dropped to $15k-$17k and are already regretting that they didn't buy it at that price.
The important thing is to determine the selling price you want if you want to take advantage of this Bitcoin bull run.
126  Other / Off-topic / Re: Dont chase your loss on: March 06, 2024, 06:50:19 AM
Yes, it is better for us to gamble just for fun and not because we want to chase losses or win the gambling game. We will not want to win the gambling game with a goal like that.
We know that gambling games are just a way to relax ourselves after carrying out daily activities. By playing enough gambling, we only want to enjoy our free time and have no desire to chase win.
And if they gamble because they are chasing a win but only experience loss in the end, it will only give them sadness because they lose their money. They will find it difficult to recover their losses because gambling is not a place to earn money.
127  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling mistake repeated by the gamblers on: March 06, 2024, 04:05:01 AM
This is very common, if you are doing something that you enjoy, not only you do not want to stop but also times seems to fly away so you feel as if you have not done the activity for long, even when you have been engaged on it for hours, this is a trick that our mind plays on us and we need to be aware of it and know when to stop, otherwise it could be possible that in order to keep true to those feelings you will gamble way more money than what you had planned for.
That's what makes us often forget to control ourselves when gambling and makes us lose more money. If we can control ourselves well, we won't gamble for too long and can stop ourselves before we experience more losses.
We have to be aware of this to be able to continue gambling responsibly so that we will not follow the voice in our mind that tells us to continue gambling. We must prevent losing self-control because that will make us lose money.
We will not experience many losses by continuing to take good care of ourselves while gambling,  and we can also enjoy gambling games as entertainment. That is the purpose of gambling.
128  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling mistake repeated by the gamblers on: March 05, 2024, 02:00:10 PM
I know this yet anytime I am playing I am deceived by that inner voice that tells me since you did not get the bonus round for so many spins it means that you are getting it soon and maybe you will win a lot by doing so.I keep listening and wait for the bonus round to fall after more than 500-700 spins and when it comes it pays almost 0 money leading only to more lost money.
I have heard that voice telling me to continue playing gambling even when I have already been playing slots for some time. But after playing slots, I finally realized that it is not my inner voice but my mind that keeps telling me to continue playing slots.
I realize that Sound is using me to chase the bonus rounds and try to win the slot games. But I never get those bonus rounds and only get the other losses.
That's why we need to be careful when playing gambling and not listen to our minds telling us to chase the win or recover the loss. We can't win easily from gambling but we can lose much money. So we need to take care of ourselves and prevent the big loss.
129  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC above $53k on: March 05, 2024, 11:20:42 AM
now it's at 68.5k only 0.5k to go to ath but still not happening, I thought it would happen but nope.
maybe that's the final limit of increase for now.
but no one knows, maybe btc will continue to rise but correct for a few days, waiting for alt to rise too.
There is a correction that occurs before bitcoin rises even higher. We will see the new ATH sooner or later. Just prepare yourself to take advantage of holding the bitcoins you have done.
Corrections will occur frequently and we must be prepared to buy them to increase the number of bitcoins we own. Altcoins will also follow bitcoin price movements because most altcoins have started rising.
The bitcoin price will rise even higher and stay at a certain level, and then altcoins will follow suit. It will create a boom in most of the existing altcoins in the market and also provide huge profits for us.
130  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Just a friendly Bitcoin friend reminder - High price = more scams on: March 05, 2024, 09:26:10 AM
We really have to be careful not to be tempted by the offers we receive, especially from emails that come. Scammers will always try to trick you and take your money without you even realizing it.
It's only by remaining careful and alert that we can always avoid being fooled by offers that look as good as they are. Maybe we have experienced scams before, so we can remain alert because the scammers will definitely use many methods to deceive us again.
We must really protect the coins we own and not be tempted by anything. We have to be responsible with these coins so only being careful can do this.
131  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If a addict lives within, which method would you choose to help them on: March 05, 2024, 06:35:40 AM
I know your struggle is real. Family gambling addiction treatment needs patience, perseverance, and empathy. I've witnessed it. The secret? Communication, but its easier said than done. Yes, they may first ignore you. They may not acknowledge an issue. Addiction is like that. Be gentle but firm. Discuss their feelings and experiences, not simply gambling. Human connection comes first. Remember, it's process. Small, sustained efforts can lead to breakthroughs.

Also consider professional aid. Gambling addiction therapists and support groups exist. They provide help and strategies you may not be able to deliver. Its improving your support, not giving up.
Yes, you are right to mention communication. But we know it will never be easy to communicate with someone who is addicted to gambling.
They will not easily listen to other people's suggestions or words because they have closed their eyes and ears and think they are right. But we must not ignore them because they are one of our family members who we must look after and help if they are experiencing difficulties.
Gambling addiction is really difficult for everyone, but we have to be sure that we will definitely be given a way to help family members who are experiencing difficulties. If we really have difficulty dealing with gambling addicts, we can ask for help from other people, in this case, professional help, as you said. After all, those who are addicted to gambling are our family members who we must help.
132  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If I bet big I lose, but if I bet small I win on: March 05, 2024, 04:11:53 AM
If you want to gamble responsibly then there are 2 things to pay attention to, namely set a fund limit for gambling and cut profits after winning, so if we follow these rules then we don't need to worry about losing in gambling because losses will not have an impact on financial losses if we have set a fund limit for gambling and we have to take high profits after winning bets.

I have analyzed several gamblers who use different betting levels, the comparison scale of wins and losses is very different from the betting level, if you bet high then the level of loss is higher which has the potential for you to lose all your balance and if you gamble with a low betting level it will give you a winning streak to encourage you to increase your bet in the hope of winning at a high bet.
Actually, many things must be done to be able to gamble responsibly, but you have given two important things that a gambler must do. Yes, that's what every gambler must remember when gambling so that he doesn't exceed his limits in gambling.
Don't chase win because it is difficult to get and we should use gambling as a way to have fun. It helps us to prevent big losses so that we won't be too sad if we lose because we already have clear boundaries in gambling.
Even though many gamblers gamble excessively, we should not be like them because this is our money and we must be responsible for our money and ourselves. By always applying clear boundaries, we can use gambling as entertainment and also as a place to have fun.
133  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If I bet big I lose, but if I bet small I win on: March 04, 2024, 03:40:10 PM
That's right, that's better appreciate it by not gambling again when you've made a small profit, I mean rest your activity in gambling may for a few days. Also in my personal experience, if we are longer in the casino, the more our minds will want to try other games. Want to try your luck in other games, want to have fun with those small profit. Lucky if your profit can increase +++, but usually that doesn't happen to me.
By taking a break or even stopping gambling, we can keep away from the thought of continuing to gamble, which could cause us to experience a lot of losses. That will not give us a chance to win the gambling game but will only give us defeat.
We definitely don't want to experience more losses, so the only thing we can do is stop gambling. By stopping gambling, at least we can control ourselves so we don't experience more losses.
We can continue gambling on another day when thoughts of wanting to win no longer influence us. By always using gambling as entertainment, we avoid the possibility of experiencing gambling addiction.

That perspective on gambling reflects a balanced and realistic understanding of the activity. Making a small profit from gambling can be seen as a stroke of luck, considering that many individuals struggle to achieve even that level of success in their gambling endeavors. Gamblers need to appreciate these wins while also recognizing the inherent risks involved in gambling.

Setting limits on gambling activities and sticking to a predetermined budget are crucial steps in promoting responsible gambling behavior. By doing so, gamblers can enjoy the entertainment value of gambling without exposing themselves to excessive financial risk. Additionally, knowing when to stop, particularly after a win, can help mitigate the potential for further losses and maintain a positive overall experience. Gambling should not be relied upon as a means of generating consistent income. The odds are typically stacked against the player, and expecting to win consistently is unrealistic. By balancing the excitement of gambling with responsible behavior, individuals can maximize their enjoyment while safeguarding their financial well-being.
Getting a small profit is actually enough for us, considering that many gamblers have failed to get it, so we don't need to continue gambling if we have won. We also still have plenty of time to gamble and don't need to worry about the gambling game because we can go back to gambling again another day. By having responsible gambling behavior, we can enjoy gambling as it is and don't need to experience gambling addiction.
We must be responsible for ourselves so we must always be careful when gambling. We should not lose more money because that could provide other greater risks.
134  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which player are you? on: March 04, 2024, 01:47:47 PM
I like casino games like slots, crash, dice, and others. I also love sports betting and still place bets, especially when I see there are sports matches that I know.
But these are not all my favorite gambling games because I not only use gambling for fun but also do other activities. I know that if I gamble too often, I can experience many problems, especially losing money, which many gamblers have experienced.
I don't want that to happen to me, so I try to limit my gambling activities and do more other fun activities.
135  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If a addict lives within, which method would you choose to help them on: March 04, 2024, 11:07:51 AM
I see your point and that's valid if we are too close with the person and we also understand how they will react with the way we will talk to them, though it will be a different take when we deal with someone who's already deeply addicted to gambling, there's no way that they will take time to listen, as everything that inside their minds is all about gambling and how they will going to please their desire to keep betting, unless you really have that bond which might break that engagement and they will spare time to sit and talk about their gambling participation.

More on how powerful your words and how you may inspire them with your statement, but yes, it's good to say that bringing good conversation and placing some engaging topics about their gambling may gain their interest and might help them to realize how far are they in terms of gambling addiction and what are the things that they already abuse.
Those who have experienced a serious gambling addiction will not want to listen to advice from other people even though it is for their own good. They will continue their gambling activities and not think they are addicted to gambling.
However, we still have to try and must not give up, especially if the person who is addicted to gambling is one of our family members. We have to help them and get them out of their gambling addiction. If not, we will have bigger problems because people who are addicted to gambling might get other, bigger problems.
We must try to have a good conversation with those who are addicted to gambling so that they can accept the reality of what is happening to them. By inviting them to discuss this, we hope to open themselves and their eyes to see this reality so that they can begin to be aware of their gambling addiction.
136  Economy / Economics / Re: Saving don't make wealth on: March 04, 2024, 06:37:31 AM
Saving takes a lot of effort and does not work anymore because everything is becoming more expensive. And this demonstrates that while saving is beneficial, it should not be the exclusive focus of any investment. Savings without a purpose is not a plan. That is the disadvantages of relying of savings in the future there will be no increase. Bitcoin is a very good option to consider because you have control over your money and if the price of bitcoin is going up the same way your money will increase. Which will you prefer. Doing comparison won't favour but do your own research so that you can decide what exactly you want to do because if you look at it bitcoin might not favor you. If its bitcoin you will do bitcoin and if it is gold you do gold as far as your money is not laying there dormant. If they want to invest they should build there knowledge first then other thing should come second.
That is why if someone wants to save, he must think about it first before deciding. He must also be able to calculate how much interest he can get from saving and compare it with the interest he can get from investing.
If someone can invest in bitcoin, it will provide more benefits than just saving. But the person needs to learn how to start investing.
The important thing is that before someone starts his plan to save or invest, he must do research first so that he understands everything. He can make a decision which is good for him.
137  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: your perception about gambling on: March 04, 2024, 04:38:23 AM
Not always in our favor. I chuckle at the notion that its a quick cash grab; its more like a quick cash giveaway - to the house, usually. Gambling doesnt care if you're a man, woman, or anything in-between. Its an equal opportunity heartbreaker.

Religions and governments toss in their two cents, mostly because they've seen the fallout - a parade of empty wallets and the not-so-occasional existential crisis. "Ban it!" they say, as if prohibition ever stopped anyone dead in their tracks. Spoiler: it doesnt. But gambling's a personal gig. Its your call, your money, your potential spiral into the abyss of "What was I thinking?" territory. So, if you're gonna roll the dice, maybe, just maybe, remember: the house always wins. Unless, of course, you dont play. Then, congrats! You've outsmarted the system
Even though it might be foolish to think that gambling is a way to earn money, it has become so commonplace in many people's minds that they still try it today. Gambling brings many people into the circle so that many people cannot get out of gambling easily.
Religion and the government prohibit its citizens from gambling but that doesn't stop its citizens from completely stopping their gambling activities because they still want to try it. And gambling is a personal matter and even though there are prohibitions from religion and the government, people still gamble.
And what you say is true, the house always wins and those of us who gamble will experience more losses if we don't realize it.

We all have points and views about gambling, but to be certain, for those who are prohibiting theirselves from gambling, its not that they don’t want to gamble their money, but because they are not broad enough to understand the design of gambling. They often see gambling to lose money and eventually make someone addicted and mess his life. But in reality, it’s not gambling that make us addicted, but it’s on how we handle and perceive gambling urge. We can gamble for fun, and to make us relieved from stress or anxiety, but for those who are losing too much, I should say that they don’t understand the essence of gambling from the start.

Now, religion is also another reason, but if you are really a gambler, no religion can ever control you, because if you really want to stop gambling, it’s already deep within you that will motivate yourself not to gamble anymore.
If there are people who can see that gambling will not give them a lot of money, they don't need to gamble and leave gambling. But what happens is that many people are attracted to gambling and they continue to gamble and don't even stop at all.
We can only gamble for fun and not to make money. Those who continue to try will only experience even greater loss.
Religion prohibits gambling because it involves losing a lot of money and makes people unable to realize that what they are doing is wrong. Religion has done what it has to do, and what follows is each person's choice.
138  Economy / Economics / Re: Saving don't make wealth on: March 03, 2024, 04:43:57 PM
If they only save in the bank, it doesn't make a difference because now there are a lot of costs that have to be incurred so we should get interest from the savings instead we have to pay the costs. Apart from that, the interest is smaller than the costs so we will not get an increase in the amount of savings.
But if you choose to invest your money in gold or bitcoin (because we already know bitcoin), it can provide greater profits because there are no costs in storing bitcoin. When the price of bitcoin increases, our profits will increase when we sell the bitcoin at the highest price.
But there are still many people out there who don't believe in Bitcoin so they still make the wrong choice in choosing their investment. They need to learn more about investment so they can choose the right investment that is suitable for them and get the profits they want.
139  Economy / Speculation / Re: What to expect this bull run? on: March 03, 2024, 03:37:11 PM
It is not a bad idea, but i will support selling some of your assets. The bitcoin upward movement won't stop now; it is going further to hit an ATH. If the investor has invested a lot in bitcoin and wants some funds, he can sell some of his investment; at least some fraction of it will give him lots of dollars unless he hasn't invested much. Then, for a beginner or pleb who does not have much bitcoin, selling your bitcoin will be a bad idea because if you sell it, your bitcoin will decrease and it will take you longer to achieve your goal.
Selling Bitcoin assets when they go up can be done as long as you can get a profit. If you haven't seen the profit or are still making a loss, you should not sell it and still wait for it.
That's what investors usually do and they always wait for the price to increase very high before they sell and usually they have a target selling price.
By having a lot of bitcoin, he can sell it little by little to take advantage of it until later when the price increases very high. Then he sells more to get an even bigger profit. These bitcoin investors have been collecting a lot of bitcoins for a long time and holding them until the price increases very high before they sell them.
For novice investors, they must be able to collect bitcoins using the DCA method.
140  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you had this gambling experience? on: March 03, 2024, 01:15:26 PM
It can happen to those who gamble but have no desire other than to have fun. They don't have the burden of winning when they gamble and just want to enjoy their free time by gambling.
There is only a desire to spend their free time so they can win and that is what we should do when playing gambling. We know that winning gambling games is difficult but since gambling is part of entertainment, we use it for fun.
We will not think about the result, winning or losing. It is a normal thing, so we will just think about enjoying it. Winning will come to us when the time comes, and it is better for us just to enjoy the gambling game.
