The point is whether we are going to do things differently at the restart civilization.
Human always want to explore and the environment is one tool to do that. Taking a leaf from the bible in the creation story where eve was asked to eat from the tree of knowledge and she herself wanted to know what would be the outcome of it. So humans always want to know outcomes and that is why we are where we are today.
Now, are we going to say that life now with alot of comfort is not better than the medieval times, the times that Thomas Hobbes described in state of nature.
I don't believe that things would have been far different from what we are witnessing now.

Lonely ness create addection. If you do a work. For remove you lonlyness. If you are trying to remove your loneliness by doing gambling that us very dengerous for you economical health. Being addected on gambling that is harmful for you. Do gamble for fun and lead luxury life. Don't addected with gambling it will distroy your life.
That is true, entering into gambling because of loneliness is not good because it will affect you in many ways. You will not make good judgement and you might even stake beyond your budget in such a situation. Gambling will not take the depression away and you might even enter into depression should you lose huge amount of money. Instead of gambling, a depressed person can play video games or other leisure things that can take his mind off the depression. Rather than gambling when they are lonely, they should think about activities that can benefit them. And it actually depends on the person because if he doesn't feel lonely even when he's alone, he won't start gambling just to get rid of his loneliness. He knows that gambling is not the solution to relieve his loneliness, so he will start thinking about what he can do. But if the person does not want to think about what can be done and thinks about gambling, there is a possibility that he will start gambling, and when he finds pleasure in gambling, he will probably continue gambling and will not stop gambling. It would be dangerous for him because he could lose all his money just for gambling. That's why when we are lonely, we have to think of ways to keep ourselves busy by doing something so that our minds don't think about gambling. No doubt gambling is not a recipe for loneliness and someone who is lonely can't find it easy to be thinking of solution because if he or she has the ability to think of solution there or at the moment then they don't have reason to be lonely in the first place. Therefore, for someone who is lonely, the best thing to do is to go out to meet people or friends, just avoid being all to yourself. Although, you can be in someone's company yet you are lonely, so finding someone that makes you happy is key to going out of loneliness and not to go gambling because that will make someone sad when you lose. A lonely person need to avoid being sad but should try to be happy. |

And if you're going to think of saving, just save it. If you have a salary, get some portion first to save like 5%-10% and less it first before the expenses.
Is saving money really the best or to reinvest money saved? For me I think the latter should be more viable because if you have the habit of just going with the former by only keeping your money in the bank or your personal savings box in your house, it will only get devalued by the rate of inflation as we know the past 5 years preceding COVID-19 have witnessed high rate of inflation globally. To reinvest the money in a profitable business is surely a good plan for the ever growing needs and by extension wants that human encounter. If you set aside 90% of savings to reinvest and keep 10% in your fiat form either in the bank or personal savings box then you are surely taking a good futuristic plan to increase your income. |

All those their double standard no go take the nation economy go anywhere because that no be the problem of Nigeria. As a member of UN and other international organizations, nothing positive dey happen with the economy wey don dey retrogress for close to 10 years now if we even exclude PDP regime.
Naija problem na leaders wey no want do right thing because dem see Nigeria as business.
Although BRICS want to create common currency for their members but that go only benefit the members with progressive economy no be naija wey be consumption economy. Dollar no be the problem, so any currency wey dem still introduce no go mean anything if dem no fix electricity, refinery, roads, reduce corruption through building of institutions and reduce powers of president and governors.

Advising is good behavior and a good step to prevent someone from gambling excessively, besides that apart from prevention there is another meaning, namely the presence of someone's attention and concern for us because they have taken the time to advise us so that the future will be even better and for that reason It's good if we listen and try to do what he says.
Listening to someone who shows care about us is the best way, though most of the time it is being taken for granted, I believe that with an open mind and willingness to move forward, even you are at first got too much into addiction time will come and will lead you to right direction if that self-will inside you overpower and dominates whatever involvement you've got to eny extent of gambling participation or worse to the point of gambling addictions. The challenge is that if we have not made up our mind to listen or ready to take advise that is given to us then we are simply going to waste the person's time, it is going to be like water on a stone. Sometimes it is our readiness to receive such advise that makes it work otherwise such efforts will be futile. Like someone who is still addicted will later go back to gambling if he has not been convinced in himself to stop and seek for help, you can't help someone whose mind is not prepared for it or it will take a longer effort to get such persons out of their addiction. |

I've for sure noticed those gambling advertisements everywhere. It can be tough to not give them a shot, particularly when they talk up big payouts. I've even gambled on some platforms I didn't know much about, largely out of curiosity.
But what exactly happened when you tried that unfamiliar gambling site? Did you have any issues getting your winnings out?
Trying new ads gambling sites is usually with caution. If you can't be patient to do your research and check reviews on them then you should be ready to risk your deposit outrightly because you can send money and not have access to get the money back. And by any means, deposit the minimum amount for the trier but bear in made to use the money as sacrifice. But I won't risk my money on a gambling ad that no body recommended to me, I would rather use those on the forum. |

Miracle never finish na, so we no need to dey think say e no fit happen because me I believe say person go don make some mistake like that for the forum. But one thing about such mistake be say if you do am, you can't revert it. So e go benefit the receiver and the sender no go fit change am back since him don already send am. So the dream fit happen in real life because miracle never happen finish and nothing dey impossible to happen.

I think say Op fit add understanding join the points because if we still look well we go see couples wey still understand each other in the midst of those three good points. Abi we never see where child no dey for marriage but the two people still dey happy and some dey adopt. Infertility no even dey be issue again where two people dey flow with each other.
Of course we don hear as we dey talk say money no dey cause trouble again or no suppose dey cause trouble again, every body need to hussle as the economy tie wrapper.
Even where understanding dey, alcohol no still be problem because the woman go give the man his way when she know say him don high.
That understanding dey important and I think say many homes dey break because of lack of understanding.

Moderate gambling may boost mental well being by increasing dopamine levels. It’s crucial to approach gambling responsibly and within one's means to avoid potential harm.
It is also more educating when you gamble on some games like it keeps you informed on these games. For example like soccer, if you are a consistent gambler, you would know the updates of teams, new sign up or those on loan and transfer. In fact the general overview of the league or majority of the teams will be in your tips and that is being rich in information and it also helps your mental health. |

Well I think that is one of the bubble stories of the early days of bitcoin and bitcoiners have well closed their eyes to that because nothing of such has happened after a decade and counting of the existence of bitcoin. More so is that the fact that bitcoin is not controlled by a government but by the people through Blockchain and its transactional transparency, then more people have hope in bitcoin investment. About pulling the rug of investors feet, I think the incident of the bear in 2018, 2019 to early 2020, during the covid that bitcoin went down to around 3,500, is already a testimony. The ATH and current price is enough to prove that after the bear season come the bull season. It is a circle, understand it and enjoy the ride.

Government can track someone in the crypto space especially if you have hard something to do with centralised exchange, casinos, apps or website where you have done a Kyc. I doubt if there is anyone that has kept his private affairs using only decentralised system or website. So if that is not possible no need worrying so much because even with an email and IP the government can have there way.

How can I stop the younger generation in my family being carried away by this and focus on other important things like studies only ?
There are two options: 1. Kick the old people in your house. 2. Move to a new house, country, etc without them. Don't argue with me by saying moving to a new house is hard, need to respect or care with the old people, don't have enough money etc, that's mean the case will never ever solved except when their time comes. Moving away like relocating to a more serene environment where gambling is not prominent is surely a way to reduce children from picking from older generation gambling addiction. I have known of newly wedded or couples who just started bearing kids relocating out from the old environment to a new one because they want a different training from where they are coming from. People relocate because of certain habit they find not good for their children. So yes, relocating is a very good solution even though it wii require finance to accomplish because most of the environment that will not ghetto like lifestyle are more expensive. |

correct mate, it is not hereditary not unless their family is engaging in gambling day by day then that might be considered as hereditarian but not in ours yet my brother still gamble .
When OP said "inbuilt" or people in this thread were saying "hereditary", it wasn't to say that some family members of the kid that started gambling all of a sudden were gamblers. Rather it was about all humankind. It's in our genes to gamble, it's our basic Instinct. But in the modern world we should learn to fight our basic instincts, because the world has changed a lot over the last 10 thousand years. To say kids just learn gambling by themselves would be a little bit overstretched argument because if gambling is inherited may be different to be explained. What is inherited is what is in the gene and I think gambling is a habit that is picked somewhere and can equally be dropped. So children are exposed to many vices even if not from the home, the school is there where they are really influenced by teachers or friends. The internet is also another agent of socialization that has really muted people's culture and traditions. A child can easily access the internet with his parents phone if he doesn't have phone yet and his father won't know about that. Although it is in our instinct but we see it from somewhere and follow from it, it is not like food that you have a natural need for when you are hungry. |

I have observed that the rich, I mean those who are financially comfortable, win more in gambling than the poor. By poor, I mean those who do not have enough to meet all their needs. I don't know the reason for this. Could it be that the rich understand financial management more? Or could it be that the rich are less desperate to win which make them make better gambling decision? I really want to know the reason for this pattern I have observed.
Because rich people have enough funds to bet so they will sometimes get occasional wins when they have spent a lot of bets while poor people will only bet with a limited amount of funds and make the winning percentage also small for them, but basically in gambling it will not guarantees that people who have a lot of funds can often win and vice versa because when it comes to gambling everything really depends on luck. I think there are two points that make op think the rich win more than the poor and one of the point is that the rich has the fund or capacity to retry when he loses and the second point is that the rich take higher risk in their stake and when they win, it appears big unlike the poor winning. Over all the numbers of winners on the average will not have a record of the rich being above the poor but the poor will be above the rich because there are more "poor" gamblers more than rich players and therefore it is logical and natural that the number of poor winners should be above rich winners contrary to op's assumption. |

I believe that sometimes we should not take what we dreamed about gambling serious because a dream comes base on what you have at heart before you sleep.
But sometimes dreams happen in reality whether in the games or in other areas of life, I think we know the dream story of Joseph in the bible. Regards to having games in dream, it does happen too but I don't think it does often and sometimes it is not clear enough but you only have to analyse the way it was shown to you in that dream before you can finally arrive at the real numbers, although some happen like it was given in the dream. Yes I have seen some people give testimonies of how they got games revealed to them in the dream, and some refuse to gamble it because of doubt but at the end it is real numbers, this happens is football betting. So getting revelation of games in the dream is still possible but may not be frequent. |

How can I stop the younger generation in my family being carried away by this and focus on other important things like studies only ?
The first point of stop is for the parents to desist from discussing and disclosing their gambling habit to their children. Such parents should learn to live responsibly and understand that parenting is something important. Whatever you do around the kids, they pick on it easily. You can't have children in the house and you expose them into what they are not yet ready for because they might even be learning and practicing in it in a more dangerous way. Okay just imagine where the child gets hold of his father's phone while he was still logged in to the gambling app and the child bet on the total balance in the account and it was lost Probably you have $100,000 on the account. Wrong exposure can be bad for children. |

Sometimes when we talk about this country and blame the younger people for either being lazy or as we are discussing about using AI, e look like we dey expect miracle to happen.
My question be say how many Nigerian president don get clear and undoubted certificate? Na from one court to another to hide their shame. So how dem go do better thing and budget better money for education when dem no sabi the value.
Before the country reach this bad state wey e dey now, student dey read na, student dey use library wella, if you enter library everywhere go full but no be now again, everybody dey look for quick money and some dey find make dem rush finish, learn or you no learn you no go see job. So na part of the problem be the reason wey AI don dey take over the school system.

The only exception to this is if someone gets a jackpot which may recover all their previous losses.
I think as the gamblers get experienced, they will understand that making consistent income is impossible in gambling and only the new gamblers may have this feeling which they will change over the passage of time.
Some people have been gambling to win jackpot for God knows when but they have not been able to win such. So to keep that on the probability list based on exception is not to be relied upon. Chasing of loses is the reason many people are still stocked in the feet of their gambling, the more people can realise that this is not gambling responsibly, the more relaxed and control they will have on their gambling. |

Although na true wey you talk and e still good make person dey verse but this dey always happen for private setting mostly. Na dem dey like cut down cost and underpay teachers while dem don collect better money from parents.
This and more follow for wetin make our country standard dey fall every day, when dem go carry 7 people work give one person na how the person want take do him best on top small cash. No professionalism for private establishment.

The ugly truth is that most persons acknowledge these losses but they're optimistic that one day they could be lucky and their big win might be able to cover for their losses.
Lol unfortunately the deed keeps happening. It takes someone who has a lot of control to stop gambling especially when you are now in this state of chasing back your losses. Truth to this is that to get to a jackpot is very difficult to get to. I know gamblers who have been saying they can only quit when they have recovered to a great extent their losses and so it keeps happening to them as if they are watching some movie. This has been the gambling story and the reason many believe it is just a lucky games. |
