Are there anyone who doesn't have money nowadays? Even if small, the misconception on this one is that to many people, they thought that they need to invest huge amount in order to make profit from this industry. Invest only an amount you can afford to lose; cliché as it sounds  a phrase we often see in this industry but it is the reality. This is the mistake of some people wherein they are taking a loan to invest which will never be advisable. Profit won't come in an instant so always manage the risk. Whether it is big or small, as long as it is just a spare fund, it won't be a problem holding it for years until it becomes profitable. Money is indeed needed to invest, that is obvious but there is no specific amount to do so.

I somehow agree with the cited research findings that men are more into gambling in comparison to women. My take on this, based on my experience, is that girls are into other things which gives joy to them such as social media. They tend move more with care or decide, and men in most instances are ones who takes the risk, in general. Both sexual orientations are present in this industry, it just happened that one is more dominant in number. Another theory I guess is because men are more lazy with things; being rich in an instant or finding a shortcut as in line with a goal which pushes them to embrace the risk. Unlike with girls who tend to think more and to overthink on things which pushes them away from risks.

Makes sense. There are other investments to choose from which could generate higher returns but real estate and land properties are one which have less risk but with decent returns espwcially if you've got the right location for future economic growth. As I've said profit won't be in an instant to this kind of investment,it would take years or even decades before you reach that x100% profit or more unlike with other assets such as with this technology wherein there are ways to double your money within days. But as we all know, the higher the reward the bigger the risk and vice versa. It depends on your preference as an investor.

Ofcourse Ethereum would be a good choice of investment in this industry. It has a sustainable market value for years and is one of the largest chain in crypto industry. But if this means overtaking the position to Bitcoin, I highly doubt. Bitcoin is the largest crypto in most aspects. One moves, other one follows. Also, I won't suggest putting all of your fund in one bucket, diversification would be more advisable. You may also try other altcoins which you think have potential. The point of diversification is to save you from risk 'coz it would be all or nothing by choosing to invest only in one token. Some tokens moves in a different manner which could give you profit than to risk it all into one.

Depends on how you percieve being poor and being rich; we do all have different lifestyles. As OP have mentioned those people or families which are living on perhaps farm wherein they have the resources for necessities, are simply not poor because they can provide the things that they want. It just so happened that their needs are not as expensive as with other people. So I'd say you are poor if you cannot provide to yourself, the things that you want such as luxurious things if that is one of your desires. Being poor does not revolve around money I believe. It is determined by the life you desire and the state of life you are living on. Problem arise due to people having high way of living but are not able to match it with their salaries. You ain't poor if you can get that education, food in the table, hospital bills if incase an emergency happen, a house, and a mindset that you are getting atleast the minimum of the life that you are wanting.

Lottery is a form of gambling, the only difference is recognition from the law, in most instances wherein Lottery providers are registered and are being taxed by governments which makes it more accessible to public. Unlike with gambling in general which consists of different gambling games, and most of the time are not registered.

Difference or mixed viewpoints towards gambling is more likely because of beliefs (including religious aspects) and morality. It is self explanatory with regards to religious viewpoint wherein gambling is considered a sin to most of the religions. Morality on the other hand has something to do with the norm in the society given that its negative side is more obvious.

Stopping an addiction requires initiative to seek for help if not by oneself. Being aware is one thing. Problem by most people going through addiction is being unaware  of how he/she is already doing such that if things or if things are getting out of hand already. No matter how your friend wants you to step out of your obsession, nothing will happen if you yourself won't do a thing about it. You'd be able to hear their warning but you won't have enough willingness to do as they told.

Gambling is different from other addiction 'coz it involves money, which is another drive for a person aside from entertainment and satisfaction.

If it is just a portion then there would be nothing wrong from doing so. Common mistake by some business owners who are interested in this industry is investing all orlf their funds in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies which I think is never advisable. First of all, the funds of a business is needed to run the business itself, funds should revolve to maintain it in general; salary of your employees, refilling your stocks (if applicable), rent (if applicable), and others. It won't be advisable investing all of its funds to this industry 'coz profit won't come in an instant. The market price is not continuously increasing which means there will be times you will be left with no other choice but to wait, and what if you'd be needing money for your business?

I'm not even familiar with the gambling site he mentioned. Also, such kind of posts will just be accussations if proofs won't be provided. Is OP up into something? I also checked his previous posts and it is really alike from this topic of him. I hope this is not just to promote something and to degrade other platforms. I cannot even comprehend the idea fully 'coz he's been mentioning about tipping, a timeframe, then a scam already?  There should be a process. The player should be reaching out the platform first and if it would take days without any response try consulting other players. If things won't still be, creating a post will just be for awareness.

Betting consultant in OP's context is someone who is somehow giving winning tips. At first I though it would be people who gives advice with regards to betting habits in order to avoid gambling addiction. I believe there's no such thing as someone who 'cracked the code' in gambling. Why would he need to be a consultant if he already cracked it 'coz for sure the amount he'd get from giving 'tips' can be easily earned in few bets right. This is also why I doubt there's such thing 'coz if there is many people should be millionaires by now. We are all guessing and relying to our own fates in this industry.

Not might, but it is really the reason why many gamblers are at risk. The idea of becoming rich in a short period of time than working as an employee, gives drive to the gamblers to continue until they reach such goal. Problem is not all gamblers are succeeding; if we would base on the ratio between those who won big time and those who have lost huge amount of money, I think it would be one in a million. And this reality is still being disregarded by gamblers.

In order to stop, acceptance would be the first thing to do. Accepting the fact that it is more likely to lose than to win is a huge step forward stopping this habit. Next is limiting oneself from playing little by little. Adding another hobby to occupy one's time gambling, would be also necessary. Lastly, do not be too dependent on your fate. It is us who are responsible for the life we would be having therefore, avoid engaging to risky things.

Simply improve your analysis wherein you'd be practical in a way. If you're hesitating to your bet then atleast minimize the amount of money you would be engaging yourself into it. There's no assurance ofcourse, with the winning team or fighter in every sport. Gamblers can jist make speculations or guesses based on previous matches or fights but that won't guarantee things. You may also go bias with lower odds or simply go in line with majority. Also not be greedy of odds; many gamblers are betting to bigger odds because it will result to bigger rewards. Unfortunately, risk would be bigger as well.

For sure it would be possible to form bet with peer to peer betting I guess. But with gambling platforms or sportsbooks, it will only be included once the game accumulated enough popularity to create volume for the players or demand from community. It is still a young game as we all know. Also, things are the same with other local games which is rare to see in platforms, usually it is limited to area. One example is cockfighting in my country which is popular in local community but is not famous with foreign countries. So I guess same thing goes with chances for this sport.

Would be hard to do so, I guess, but possible. But to compare, it would be easier to quit with huge winnings than to quit after a huge loss simply because frustration and regret is present. In my case, since I was able to limit my gambling activity, I think I would be able to quit gambling if ever I would be winning big time. One reason is contentment and another one is fear of losing what you have won. Maybe it does depend on your gambling habits. If you are a 'heavy' gambler, then it would make sense to say that you will have a hard time quitting after a huge win 'coz greed may take place and might give you the idea that you can still win bigger amount or that you have a lot of money to use on everything you would want to.

Best thing that would explain this, is money. Only few people are really enjoying gambling and mostly are into profit as we all know. Despite of one's losses, he would continue if he's too hooked up with the idea that he's close to winning bigtime. Indeed it has psychologically related. Think of an individual who have lost $200 and experienced winning $50. It would more likely sink into him that he's close to getting back with his losses so he would continue playing, and eventually be losing a bigger amount. He'd be aware of it but will still continue simply because the idea of winning motivates him to do so. For sure we are all aware of how risk works in this activity but we still engage into it.

Bigger odds means bigger profit. Also, anything could happen in a match 'coz first of all, they won't be in the tournament if they don't have the capability to win. Underdogs as we all know will still have the chance to come up with a win, it just so happened that betting on the underdog will put your money at a bigger risk, but as I've said with bigger rewards by chance.
There are times underdogs are just being underestimated by the majority which creates huge odds on their end. No one is certain of the outcome which is why we call it gambling. As long as you are aware of the tendencies then you're good to go. A gambler in the first place is not required to go all in for a single bet especially in favor of the underdog, so just practice managing the risk if you are really willing to bet on the 'losing' team or player.

What for? For merit? If it is, then try creating a more contructive one and not some sort of sentiment, it would be more informative in such way.
Nothing personal but it seems to be your promise to yourself and this industry.
We are all free on our ways in this industry; there's no need to pledge or what not 'coz the extent of how huge the number of people and how large this technology is, you won't be able to follow those things for sure also, you are not required to do so. As a beginner you should be more seeking for wider understanding of what you are engaging yourself with than to make promises 'coz that won't be necessary. Also, god has nothing to do with this.

Also with people who believe that it should be added to collegiate courses. Bitcoin is simply a digital currency which has a volatile market value. Indeed it is profitable to invest with, but that's it and there's no need to exaggerate on this part, atleast for now. This technology is not even recognized by governments to make it something as a profession. It can be learned indeed but let us lbe it as an investment and as a currency. I am reading articles in some statez wherein there is a Bitcoin course but my question is, on what degree then? Everything is subjective on how will you interpret the market. It is like making your friend a teacher of yours, to help you learn how to properly wash the dishes ( just a random example). It is okay to learn how this industry works but if in the first place there's no absolute origin, price patterns, and all, how can we achieve "oneness" with infos?

As others have said, Ethereum has high transaction fees. But it is not the only factor to determine whether it would be patronized by players. Profit potential and tokenomics would be also important. If we would go back with popularity of NFTs these are the common characteristics used on determining whether the game would be good for long term or not, so I think it is not only with the chain being used to run your game. If it would be free to play, I guess it won't be as catchy to the investors.

We saw how F2P games fell because of such trait since tokenomics is more likely to collapse because of abuse on players' end. But if you are that serious try running the game and be open for suggestions and imporvements afterward. People will have different preferences on the conceptualization phase, but start with Beta to see it for yourself.

As much as possible I am avoiding having a debt 'coz that is where struggle begin in terms of financial aspect. But yes, there'll be times you would be pushed to do so. In paying debt, Snowball method would be a good way to settle but most of the time sense of urgency should be applied especially if you have multiple debt wherein sometimes, as mentioned, has interest, and that should be prioritized to have a progress. What we should avoid is paying a debt using another debt. There are times this is effective concerning urgency as well, but it will just eventually be a cycle and nothing will be totally resolved. So I'd say urgency with adjustment of your expenses, would be the best way to pay debts.

Pay the debt having interest first then those which are not, make sure to fill the gap even little by little. It would be hard to pay all of it simultaneously but atleast there'll be progress and it won't be a shame to where you have borrowed the money. Create adjustments with your expenses such as choosing to walk if the destination ain't too far. Choose to cook at home than to eat on restaurants. Create an alternative to buying a new one if possible.Or simply choose to struggle now to eventually be comfortable once debts are settled.
