141  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling by financial dependents. on: January 25, 2024, 10:08:28 PM
A family member reported to me that her eighteen years old son has started gambling. She is not worried that he is gaming but her problem is that he is a student that solely depends on her for everything he needs. Her fear is also that her son might start stealing from her if he has no access to the money he needs to gamble. My relative has even started suspecting that some money she feels was misplaced might have been stolen by her son.

I spoke to my nephew and he told me that he has never stolen from his mother to gamble. And he gambles with only his savings from his weekly stipend he receives from the family. And he won't gamble if he has no savings to do that. From my observation, he is a responsible gambler that is just enjoying the game and making a little money occasionally. The gambling age in my country is 18+, but his mother is insisting that he must stop. What will be your advice for this young boy?
Indeed, his mother had a good point in preventing him from gambling, as it can develop into a major addiction with unfavorable effects, especially while he was young. What if he started gambling gradually and eventually developed a fondness for it, even though he acknowledged that he only uses the money he gets from his allowance? We can never be sure what his future holds. Teenagers are skilled at dishonesty and can even fabricate stories to manipulate their parents in order to achieve what they want, so there is a chance that he may play fools on her. Not all, but some do, particularly if they are persuaded by their friends. He would think that it would be beneficial for him to try again if he has experience playing and starts winning and making money, but if he loses, he has a tendency to chase losses. Perhaps he can't focus on his education because of his gambling obsession; his mother's efforts to guarantee his future are in vain, and he spends his time gambling.

 You should always seek professional help , that's my First piece of advice.

If her son's addiction to gambling is severe enough for him to rob his mother or perhaps hurt her, then it would be best for him to consult a specialist. She might help her kid comprehend the root causes of his addiction and create a better coping mechanism by getting plenty of treatment or perhaps medication if she seeks professional assistance. Then, his conscience will awaken, and he will realize that, rather than wasting his time gambling, he should be doing his studies at this young age.
 
However, there are drawbacks as well, because hiring professionals to assist you might be costly. That's the reason we should think about the monetary consequences and look into the resources that are out there, like insurance or affordable counseling.
It takes time and dedication, in my opinion, to overcome addiction. Her son's daily routine and his academic schedule can be affected if he needs to attend several therapy sessions each week. One thing is for sure: the course of treatment may not be successful if her son is not prepared for change or is resistant to it.

Well, I think that when a person is looking for a way to do things well, they have to adapt to the things that are more common. If a child has an advanced addiction, I think that if he or she needs professional help, what will the cost be? Well , it is something that should be assumed, it is for a child, I think that the money should be sought in some way because it is something urgent that must be resolved, and he is a child, something like this should not be happening, a situation like that, it should be tied to adolescence and not be passed on to adults, since being a minor suffering from something is very serious, it should not be allowed, things should always go according to the things that are appropriate for your child age , and not get ahead of yourself to live something that you shouldn't, secondly, the age you are is because you are practicing a study or a sport, not because you are into those types of things that are for Adults because an addiction and a casino are not in normal parameters.

I would say that things are quite cruel when a child, or someone underage , suffers from this , because basically these things, if you look for fault, are entirely the parents', because the parents are the ones who should be Responsible for educatio n, of their children and yes, these things are totally the fault of the parents, then we must Quickly give them the attention required once and for all, because we are people who must always be aware of anything that happens to our children , that is what we have as a mission, a challenge so why do anything? Everything has to be done because things are much more important to them and different things have to be done so that they are well , the most Important thing is that their mental health does not degenerate, because sometimes children can have many problems , So your self-esteem must always remain very High , it is always the main thing.
If the child's welfare is considered, I have no problem with him or her seeking professional help to overcome or manage their gambling addiction; if his parents can afford it, they are free to attend as many therapy sessions as they would like.
 
As always, parents have a significant influence on how their children behave, and it's important to understand that a variety of circumstances can contribute to addiction.
We can either favorably or negatively impact our children as parents. Positive contributions from us include guiding our kids, establishing limits, and keeping lines of communication open. In addition to teaching kids about the dangers of gambling, we have to instill values in them and provide a healthy family atmosphere.
However, some parents have negative effects on their child's life as well. If a child grows up with parents who are also gambling addicts or who engage in other vices, the child will undoubtedly emulate their parents' behavior.
 
But it's equally important, in my opinion, to recognize the important roles played by peer pressure, other external factors, and being susceptible to addiction. Because addiction-related behaviors can arise as a result of mental health disorders as well as social influences.
In essence, yeah, I agree that parental responsibility is one part of a larger equation.

A few days ago, my house was being cleaned. Three people are cleaning the front and back yards of the house. One of them was playing slots and I saw him. Actually, I wanted to suggest he try sports betting because I often see the guy watching football matches and he does have knowledge about many teams. So I was wondering if I could introduce him to sports betting so he could use his ability to predict every game he knows about.

Besides that, I just feel that if he deposited $10 = IDR 150,000 into a gambling site just to play slots, he would probably suffer a complete loss. But if he can place bets on sports betting, there is a possibility of him winning some money on small bets. Wouldn't that be an advantage for him?

If you were in this situation, what would you do? Introduce him to sports betting or let him stick to playing slots. Yesterday, I just let it go but we still often meet at other activities.
Even yet, I believe that it is inappropriate and still not advised to gamble while at work—whether it be by playing slots or placing a wager on sports. Nevertheless, if you two are related, then by all means give him advice on anything without making fun of his games. From what I've read in your statement, I believe he prefers to play and bet on slots, even though he may be knowledgeable about football or sports betting. If he wants to play slots, then, by all means, let him.

If you are worried that he might lose a lot of money gambling on slots and you might want to introduce him to sports betting so that he can make even little wins and avoid losing too much, then think about having a supportive chat with him.  You two can talk about your possible losses and wins, maybe exchange ideas, and perhaps discover why he prefers to play slots over sports wagering.
143  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Silly and scary questions, and what would you do if that were you. on: January 22, 2024, 06:43:02 PM
Yes, it is frightening, but to start, if you keep your bitcoin wallet secret, nobody will be able to find out that you have a significant amount in it. You could prevent these situations or things from happening if you kept your possessions and your ownership of Bitcoin to yourself. Telling others you talk to in person or online could cause them to get triggered to do so.
In a situation like that, I would rather die than have the goods I have been working on stolen. After all, I think my family members would benefit from it in the future, and since one of them actually knows my wallet address, I don't mind as long as they are secure. Rather, the fruits of all my labor will go to those robbers who are so greedy that they never deserve it. I should keep it because, well, there's a chance that even if I give them my wallet address, they could still kill me. Tongue
144  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you blame someone for your gambling losses? on: January 22, 2024, 06:18:25 PM
How will I blame someone for a loss I have, anyone who have started the journey of gambling must be above the age of 16,and he must be solely responsible and accountable to every action he takes when it comes to selection of the game to play.i don't think anyone can ever be responsible for another person's loss in gambling because while playing,you must have already made up your mind that it's either you win or you loose,one thing must happen.The only way you can blame someone is maybe you gave a game to someone to play,and the person went ahead to play what you didn't predict,and the game eventually plays,one can be angry,and can probably blame who you sent to play the game for you.
We don't need to blame other people for the losses we experience from gambling. When we gamble, we already know that it will cause us to lose a certain amount of money and the more often we gamble, we can lose more money. We have to be responsible when playing gambling so we really have to have limits to prevent lots of losses. You can blame other people for forcing you to gamble, but that rarely happens because gambling depends on each person and there is no compulsion to gamble. So we have to be wise in responding to it and don't need to blame other people if we lose.
I agree with you, why do we have to blame other people if we lose at gambling it is very unreasonable, how can other people control us, people are very stupid if they have to blame other people for the losses they suffer, let's say we tell people to play with the money we have, why do we give people control over our money? Let's say we trust him, of course we are ready for all the risks whatever happens
It is possible for certain gamblers to place the blame on someone else as a way of avoiding accepting responsibility for their losses. Perhaps it would be simpler for them to place the blame for their shortcomings on other forces rather than taking responsibility for their own choices or errors. Based on my observation of certain gamblers in my nation, it appears that some of them go through severe states of emotion. Perhaps by blaming others, they can momentarily ease their own feelings of disappointment and anguish.
 
I recall a situation where two brothers were betting on billiards games. They also used cards, and the number of cards you could receive determined the number you needed to strike with the billiard cue. The two brothers were arguing and attempting to start a fight after just a minute of playing. There were a lot of commotions going on. They said that the reason for their argument was that one of the brothers had cheated on the game, which is why one of them became enraged as he lost a few games and didn't win at all.
145  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your Roller Coaster feeling When You Gambling on: January 22, 2024, 05:50:29 PM
An hour before going to a casino?
A mixture of anticipation, thrills, and maybe a little anxiety because there's always a chance of winning or losing when one decides to try their luck in a casino.

After logging in and pulling out the games you are about to play?
For me, the initial thrill and expectation might keep growing since I'm now actively participating in the games. There may be an increased level of focus and concentration while I decide on my betting strategy, though.

While playing?
I kinda feel pressure especially if significant amounts of money are at stake.

After you experience successive losses?
I can get frustrated and disappointed when I lose, but I have to learn to control my emotions and only gamble money I can afford to lose in order to prevent chasing losses.

After you won successively?
Winning a round may brings me a feelings of happiness, satisfaction and of course a desire to continue the winning streak.

After you log out whether you win or lose?
I mean, I can feel a range of emotions, and when the intensity of my gambling experience decreases, I could feel relieved or released regardless of the result. I sometimes experience conflicting feelings when I go from actively playing a game to relaxing afterward.
146  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Social aspects of online gambling on: January 22, 2024, 04:35:17 PM
Infact I enjoyed socialising with my online forks than my physical forks, even if we visit the casino together, reason being that, I like privacy and for that I won't want anyone knowing how much I won or lose at some point, but if it online, the secret is up to you and no one else, you only tell someone that I want about either your winnings or loses sometimes.
That makes sense, as playing and socializing at online casinos allows you to do so from the comfort of your home. The convenience of use, in my opinion, may boost sociability since it allows players to interact without being restricted by a physical space.
Because face-to-face encounters can be intimidating at times, I believe that the privacy offered by online platforms will enable people to socialize without the strain of in-person conversations. For people who might feel better at ease expressing themselves online, this sense of privacy may be alluring.
Furthermore, because online gaming sites are always available, socializing possibilities will always be available. In contrast, real casinos might only be open for a certain number of hours. Consequently, in online gambling, you are free to wager whenever and any time you like.
 
147  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Have you ever regretted selling your bitcoins ? on: January 22, 2024, 03:58:43 PM
Yes many times I would say. I have always sold the Bitcoins when I am in need of emergency money. Else I never sell Bitcoins regularly. After selling the Bitcoins, I notice that always Bitcoins have gone up. And for that I regret that, If I would have sold it later in time, then I could have made some more cash from it. Nevertheless it’s human nature, we never gets happy with the things we have, we always wants more.
True, but if we make use of it wisely—as you mentioned, in an emergency—there is nothing wrong with it as long as we understand that we are in dire need of the money and that selling your bitcoin is our only viable alternative. Of course, you also need to believe that this will truly benefit you in your life. Since time cannot be stopped, conditions will always arise. Nevertheless, we should be grateful that, even in the worst of situations, we can always sell our bitcoin and use the money earned to potentially address our current issue.
Though we may come to regret it later, we can always start over, as we never know when we might hang onto our Bitcoin and end up with a larger profit.
148  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A brief advice for the newbie gamblers. on: January 22, 2024, 03:18:15 PM
We countlessly experiences new gamblers on daily basis in the gambling boards. Not just in this platform of
a mere gambling discussion but in a reality of gambling. So briefly, I call to your attentions the newbie gamblers to be aware that>>>
"Responsible gambling is cordially adhered by your audible alertness to realize that temptations as irresponsible gambling is inspired by your desperacies of making profits or recovering your losts".

Fellow experienced gamblers, your brief contributions would also be valuable.


All new players in gambling should definitely watch interviews with those players who could not cope with their addiction and then regretted it. And I think it's better to see such an inteview once than to hear advice a hundred times. The eyes of former gamblers with addiction are always full of fatigue, and this is more eloquent than words. Once you project this image on yourself, you immediately want to be careful, listen to your emotions, very controlling them.

Beginners may easily grasp the possible risks and hazards connected to gambling, and personal experiences of addiction, in my opinion, serve to emphasize the drawbacks and act as a warning.
Such interviews, after all, would offer a genuine viewpoint on the difficulties that players might encounter in overcoming their gambling addiction. In doing so, it will assist newbies in realizing that there are real risks associated with the attraction of gambling.
If viewers are exposed to emotionally charged narratives, such as those in which gamblers express remorse for the detrimental effects on their lives, it can arouse empathy and discourage newcomers from taking chances.
 
However, it is not that bad if we listen to hundreds of pieces of advice from this forum because some players in this forum often share their experiences, including both successes and failures. Plus, newcomers may become more vigilant and take preventive measures to avoid falling into the trap of addiction, so for me, their views and opinions are valid.
149  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you be worried or comfortable seeing your elderly mother gambling? on: January 22, 2024, 02:00:16 PM
This are aging are not meant to be stressing themselves to get because they don't need that especially going to a betting shop to play bets. This does not make any sense to me, but I would not react when I see an elderly person  betting online because I know with that, safety is ensured and they would have to bet when that are interested to buy not everytime. Betting is for the young that still have the interest to earn and make extra money for themselves. Seeing old people betting is also something normal because no one knows there present condition and what would have led them to decide to gamble.
Going to a gambling house to place bets and get involved with gambling activities physically shouldn't be supported especially with the old as it's not only stressful but it looks very much absurd and doesn't really tell well of their reputation especially in places where gambling is despised and not considered noble.

Talking about the safety of older people with relation to gambling I think the concern should be much on their health, some of them get more emotional as they age and may not be able to cope with losses, it may take them into very emotional state such that some may fall to depression or get some hypertensive reaction when they are suffering a streaks of losses so it's better they avoid it at old age especially for those who easily get emotional at every slightest thing.
You make good sense and I completely agree with you., but then here are my few points concerning all you have said.

First, speaking on whether older folks should stop patronizing physical gambling outlets and casinos, most especially on place or jurisdictions where gambling is not considered as a noble thing or activities to engage oneself in,  I agree with this, but how about those who can't possibly operate a smart phone not to talk of a computer, not all of our old folks can easily navigate through the world of online gambling, and as long as its gambling we are talking about, as an old person, asking someone to help you deposit money into an online casino from your bank account is also absurd, and also puts you at a very high risk of falling into the hands of scammers, as even your own son can use the opportunity to scam you.
So, considering the above, I think patronizing a physical gambling outlet or casinos with physical cash in their hands is still much safer for our old folks.

And talking about their health and their vulnerability to health issues as a result of loses from gambling, you are also very right here, but I think it depends on how long the old person has been gambling, for those who have been gambling for a very long time, they probably have gotten used to it and the chances that such a person will collapse due to gambling loses is very slim.
The risk is very high with folks who started gambling in their old age.
Yeah, very true, and apart from what you said, it's possible that elderly adults might have fixed incomes and that gambling could put them in financial jeopardy. It goes without saying that gambling losses can have a bigger effect on a person's capacity to maintain their finances. Due to the mental decline that comes with aging, people may find it more difficult to make wise judgments and, as you mentioned, may be more vulnerable to scams.
 
Regarding their health, I believe that excessive gambling may have contributed to their social isolation because they spent more time in physical casinos or online casinos than they did participating in social activities. Knowing the connection between social isolation and a number of health issues, including depression. Furthermore, I worry that older people would sit for extended periods of time, which could negatively impact their physical health due to a lack of exercise.
 
150  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you pay attention on other people bet and it amount, and does it affect you? on: January 22, 2024, 01:05:14 PM
I believe that some bettors may have wished to monitor the total amount of bets made in a game in order to assess if it was worth it for them to participate. Yes, it makes sense that individuals would think that way since certain gamblers may be more likely to participate in the action if there is a lot of betting activity and large stakes being risked, believing that there is a chance for a large reward. On the other hand, I believe that some gamblers may become less interested in playing if there is minimal betting activity or little money wagered, believing that the game does not offer enough potential rewards.
 
However, I would much prefer to decide for myself and go cautiously. But there was also a part of me that wanted to do what others did, that is, imitate their betting strategies, but doing so makes me feel reliant on them to the point that I need someone else to decide how much to bet.
151  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Patience can help alot on: January 22, 2024, 12:06:14 PM
Yes, it is normal to feel that way about your gambling decision, which is why patience is important. I think patience will help you adopt responsible behavior in the context of your gambling, mainly because there is a risk involved and outcomes are often uncertain. If you make decisions early and choose to cash out early rather than give in to the temptation to chase big wins, then it is okay to feel that way occasionally, as it may help you protect your initial investment and prevent significant losses. However, relying solely on patience without a well-thought-out strategy may not guarantee you favorable outcomes.
 
I think that having patience can be a useful quality when it comes to gambling, particularly in terms of managing your money sensibly and avoiding snap decisions. Nonetheless, it is imperative that we approach gambling with a sense of accountability and a comprehensive comprehension of the risks involved.
 
152  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The worst situation you're in that you regret that you learn about gambling on: January 22, 2024, 07:35:43 AM
Thank goodness, I was not tempted to bet with someone else's money. That is to say, I am aware of the potential repercussions if I carry out that illegal act. In my opinion, it is a betrayal of trust to use another person's funds without their explicit permission. In other words, it's critical to respect other people's autonomy and refrain from acting in their place, particularly when it comes to financial issues.
 
Gambling carries danger, and your friend lost all the money that he later regretted because he didn't stop to consider if what he was doing was good or wrong. Putting people's financial well-being first and avoiding putting them in danger without their consent or knowledge is essential, don't you think?
 
It's common knowledge that gambling may be compulsive and alluring, especially when you win big, so it's morally right for us to stay away from engaging others in potentially harmful behaviors. Furthermore, just like what your friend did, using someone else's money for gambling without that person's knowledge can potentially be harmful and strain their relationship, and maybe your friend's friend will develop a trust issue.

155  Economy / Gambling / Re: Why they need a license if bitcon is not money? on: January 21, 2024, 01:53:23 PM
For me I believe that licensing is far more better than none licensing in casinos today reason is that, with licensing, there will be more trust and confidence that at least the platform is real and legit with a physical office because, in some countries, one of the criteria for approving a license for a casino is to have a physical office so with that at least gambler's who patronize them will have a place to direct they enquiries and complains to and getting a one on one to receive direct attention.
I agree; by getting a license, we can make sure the casino runs in accordance with the rules set forth by authorities in charge of regulations. For this reason, regardless of the kind of money involved, many licensing agencies would mandate that casinos employ AML and KYC procedures. Since the goal of this move is to stop illegal acts like money laundering, financing of terrorism, and, of course, fraud, I believe it is a wonderful idea. I believed that since bitcoin is a kind of money, casinos that used it as payment had to abide by certain rules. Given that taxes have become common in our society, it stands to reason that casinos that accept bitcoin will eventually have to pay taxes. and a license requires a thorough financial examination to make sure the casino has the money to run and pay out wins. Well, I think, this improves financial transparency and aids in transaction monitoring.
 
Additionally, a license would, in my opinion, provide a casino with a sense of legality and credibility, both of which are crucial for drawing in customers. In my opinion, it gives players more confidence, even if they have doubts about the safety and impartiality of transactions using cryptocurrency.
156  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: You must have a source on: January 21, 2024, 11:44:26 AM
Yes, OP, even though the value of bitcoin investments fluctuates, we still need a steady source of income to ensure that we have enough money to cover our living expenses and, in particular, for unforeseen needs like emergencies.
Investments are never risk-free, of course, and the price of bitcoin fluctuates greatly. Additionally, if you depend just on your bitcoin investments for revenue, you may leave us vulnerable to financial instability in the event that the market drops. This kind of danger can be lessened if we have a source of income, such as regular work or even a business.
 
I believe it would be preferable if you had a steady source of income because, as everyone else in this thread pointed out, investing in bitcoin may not always yield an immediate return. This way, you can plan for the long term and patiently hold onto your money, especially during market swings.
157  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Alter Ego In Gambling on: January 21, 2024, 09:26:55 AM
I think yes. In real life, I'm very practical in terms of finance, that I don't usually spend on everything that I see. Be it food in the streets, shirts in the mall, some unnecessary items in the grocery, etc... . But I'm quite amazed on how I can spend a lot of money in gambling. By that, I regret too, and question my self on why I can't do that outside or at least spend small with them?

I only want to earn small profit in gambling but it's just that it won't happen when I badly needed it. As a result, I keep coming back to recover what I previously lost, only to see that the result are still the same. Risking small in gambling can still give us a big win if we are lucky. We only need to choose the right game for it. But the chance of getting them is even slimmer than usual, and this can still make someone else to bet more.
Each person has their own preferences, so as long as you are spending your money in something that you like then your behavior is acceptable, what can be a problem is that it seems you like chasing your losses and this can be dangerous, because the more you gamble the more losses you will get, which in return will create a stronger desire to keep gambling and so on, so try to control those feelings, and if you do then you will be free of that issue and any negative repercussions that behavior could have brought to you.
Its your money and its none other fucking business on what would be the reactions you would be making. Mind their own business as you mind your own. As long you arent that using up someones money to gamble then it should really be just fine.  Grin

People would really be that normally be that emotional on which it is really that having those reactions on losing money.No matter how fine you are or really that too
be cool but on the time that you would really be losing money then these reactions would really be just that so normal.
It is really just that people should be having that kind of acceptance on the time that they do deal with gambling on which these reactions
are really just that common or something that you could really be able to have that kind of after effects.
Indeed, there are consequences to excessive spending that we may later regret, and it is common, especially when it comes to gambling, but we shouldn't normalize this kind of behavior. I mean, rather than merely chasing losses and being unable to effectively manage our bankroll, there are better things we could spend our money on that may help us in our everyday lives. Because, whether we like it or not, there's a potential that we could end up in debt to someone, making it difficult for us to save money for the future or pay for necessities.
 
In order to accomplish our goal, I believe we need to make it usual to put needs before wants. Yes, gambling can make these people happy, but we should be careful with how we spend our money. If we continue to gamble as a habit, it will be hard to break because we will keep looking for lost money and thinking of ways to make more to support our addiction.
 
In my opinion, spending excessive amounts of money on unnecessary things could make you feel good temporarily, but it might not have a big impact on your happiness down the road.

I would first determine why he came to a point that he needs to steal; is the drive too much already? When did he start to gamble and who influenced him? It will always be starting from the roots or causes of an existing problem.
I agree because we may be more open to outside influence, notably when it comes to gambling, when we are emotionally or psychologically weak. I believe that he may also feel under pressure from peers to conform and join in order to fit in or be accepted. For example, he may be influenced by friends or acquaintances who are regular gamblers and who would push someone to partake.
 
Naturally, people who experience social isolation or a lack of acceptance may be more vulnerable to social influence, particularly if they view gambling as a way to make friends or get acceptance in a certain social group.
If people believe that gambling provides a quick and simple answer to their issues, they are more likely to give it a try. On the other hand, it could be that he was only desperate for easy money.

The past few years have seen a noticeable and considerable improvement in bitcoin.
Given that bitcoin is already regarded as a valid type of digital currency and has received increased recognition and acceptance, its growth and adoption, in my opinion, have already been aided by a number of advancements that have already occurred.
 We are genuinely surprised by the substantial increase in the value of the bitcoin market since its launch.
It has attracted investors and speculators since, despite some volatile periods, the underlying trend has been upward.
I believe that bitcoin has become a notable investment asset as a result of its price increase.

Question: would she be so disheartened and mad as this if the son had won the bet on a multi million price?
Dear fellows, let's assume you are the mom, what would be your state of mind on this context?
Well, because I had worked very hard to save the money he had stolen, I would initially be furious and feel pity for myself. Considering my circumstances, I would assume that he had no respect at all for me. Are there other parents out there who don't lose their tempers when they discover their kid has taken money from them? Whatever their motivation, stealing is never a good thing for children to do.
Perhaps you can ask your parents, right? But if they don't give you money, you should work instead of taking the money that your parents worked so hard to provide for your needs. Instead, you stole it from them just so you could gamble, but in the end, you lost.
 
If I were his mother, I believe I would still discipline him and let him know how disappointed and worried I am about his behavior, even if he were to win a multi-million dollar prize. After all, it doesn't erase the fact that he stole money from me. We would gladly take advantage of me once more if he had already taken money from me once. By doing so, I would keep an eye on him to make sure he didn't repeat what he had done.
