141  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The shorter the time you spend the better on: December 26, 2023, 02:21:28 PM
It is exactly this moment that divides people into two gambling categories,the ones who are immune to this are also more shielded to gambling addiction and the second ones the ones who continue gambling a whole lot less shielded from addiction.
Its the competitiveness of any game that enhances its addictive capability.

Currently sites run these leader-boards, races and so on to promote this competition. So the more time your spend on gambling the more exposed you are to gambling itself and the addictive nature of these sites.

Self-discipline works a lot in reducing this, but the best method is to stop gambling completely. It might sound too difficult but it needs to be put in for those who seem to losing control to their habits.

Now that you've mentioned it, I remember there are such thing as leaderboard to foster competitiveness among players. This is one of their ways to increase engagement and traffic as well as to increase profit by encouraging people to deposit more to play and bet. This is so far effective especially if there are some sort of rewards to those who are at the top ranking. The incentives keep the players from continuous playing despite the possible losses and long time spent in gambling.

Indeed, self-discipline really plays a role in this scenario. The more discipline and responsible you are, then the more you limit the time and money allotment in gambling. This is to avoid being addicted and losing so much. Which I believe really works best as a mitigation to prevent further dependence on gambling.

You really need to have proper and enough knowledge so that you will successfully win against the house. Although the house really always wins regardless. So it's best to just do what you can in order to win, then just take profit when you are already happy with what you got. Taking profit the moment you feel like you are already satisfied will save you from losses. Because greediness can take away your fortune and the smile on your face.

Equipping yourself updated information and skills will take you places. You can win big by incorporating those plus having luck with you. Remember your main goal to retain the excitement that you have the moment you entered the gambling world. Is it for money? Is it for entertainment? Or both? Focus on that while being disciplined and responsible and you won't lose the spark you have while increasing your percentage of winning.
143  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Success or Fail? - Talking about Gambling as a major income on: December 26, 2023, 11:30:13 AM

It's just that it's actually difficult to turn gambling into a stable income here in the cryptocurrency gambling business industry. Because gamblers usually lose most of the time, So, obviously, it is difficult to overcome that to maintain gambling income in a casino, especially if you are just a gambler.

Unless you are always lucky, then most people believe that winning in gambling is only based on the lucky game in any casino business. So, the results of the majority of players here often fail.

I agree, it's difficult, but not impossible. It will just really take time for you to be successful in gambling and eventually make it your source of income. It will take numerous tries, many placed bets, having different gameplays, and huge fund allotment. It also takes courage to risk because after all, there's no guaranteed winning in gambling. It's always a 50/50 scenario. Although you could improve the odds by knowing some information and strategies to make your way. Luck also plays a role. So it's important to have the odds favor your side. I guess you just have to pray for it. Then do everything else on your own with your very best to get the result that you want.
144  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should security be employed in local bet shop? on: December 26, 2023, 09:53:06 AM
There should really be a security in every local betting shop if we are talking about the security of the players and the owner's business in general. Although having security is really rare and almost close to none, most especially in third world countries. Perhaps this is because they are cutting costs because hiring a security will add cost to manpower budget allotment. So they would rather just install CCTVs instead of adding a guy to secure the perimeter. But it should really be a must, especially because gambling shops cater different personalities. Some are aggressive, some are cheaters, and some are boastful that can lead to argument and fight.
145  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Success or Fail? - Talking about Gambling as a major income on: December 25, 2023, 02:54:14 PM

Perfectly said, the very reason why there are so many new gambling places that are being offered, this kind of business attracts gamblers to think that it will be an easy path for them to continually earn out from gambling, but in reality, they may experience some wins, but the numbers of losses will be far higher and if they don't realize it the risk of losing everything from their savings is possible.

If you don't know how to limit yourself, and you are just doing it without planning, sooner or later you will fall into addiction and
it might backfire against you.

Not a source of income but a reason to be broke and potentially lose everything in terms of financial abilities.

People really see gambling as a profitable way. Well, they aren't wrong, but I think the most effective method isn't actually in betting and playing, rather in operating your own casino. But of course, this is tedious and expensive. It also requires a strict and organized planning for it to be successful, so not everyone can really open one instantly and make it last long by making its reputation strong.

Although you can also be successful if you are wise in playing and if you have enough assets at your disposal. Just be responsible and disciplined in playing then you will be at peace with yourself without falling into addiction or any troubles.
146  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Between Physical and Online Gambling which makes a person more addicted on: December 25, 2023, 12:59:45 PM
Both can be addictive. Lives are destroyed by both online and offline gambling. But I guess the factor that plays the most vital role is access. You cannot be in a brick-and-mortar casino all the time. At some point, you will have to leave; go home, go to work, attend to some other important things. Or the casino itself is closing. With an online casino, you can gamble anywhere anytime. You can easily multi-task. I have friends who gamble on their mobile phones while working.

Definitely.

Gambling can really destroy a person's life whether it may be online or physical casino. It knows no place or platform. Unlike a player who is sane enough to know and how to establish the boundaries in playing and betting. So it's really a you responsibility. You are responsible to your own decisions and actions that will constitute into either something good or bad outcome.

Although yes, I also agree that access is still a huge factor. It plays a vital role in being able to place bets. But it's also important to note that discipline is above everything. If you can control your urges to temptations, you can limit your gambling activity and gambling interaction.
147  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblers trickily claims they wins the bet while they never did. on: December 23, 2023, 02:25:43 PM
This is the reason why you shouldn't easily believe all the things that you see and read online and even hear in person. Some people who don't want their name or reputation to be tainted will do their very best to claim they are continuously winning. And they do it for other various reasons alongside with pretending to be a good gambler. Some do it to impress people, some do it to encourage others to gamble too, and some do it so that they could brag about the winnings and strategies they have. So you should really learn how to decipher who is telling the truth and who isn't so you won't fall victim into their story, especially if they are introducing you into gambling.

To add, some are even paid to do it to encourage people to sign up, deposit and play. Some posts are sponsored to gain engagement and traffic on the site. So verifying it yourself will definitely help big time.
148  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Risking 1% in Gambling on: December 23, 2023, 01:31:12 PM
Without taking risk no one can't be successful in life. In gambling you can't in as a gambler if you don't have power to tolerate losses. Because as new gambler you have no experience and you don't have lot capital. In that case you have to take high risk because if you lose it's critical to add extra money from you poket. That's the reason as a new gambler don't want to take risk they played safely and they risk small the lowest amount they can play.

Valid point.

If you won't stake some, you won't win some. You can't really know the results unless you try it yourself. But of course, do it properly. Gambling recklessly and responsibly are two different ways. One way could get you in a lot of troubles and challenges, while the other could provide you entertainment and possible profit on the side. Gambling isn't gambling if there isn't asset involved so you must know how to manage risk, assess risk, and strategize to have a positive outcome. Learn when to take profit and when to cut losses to prevent further damage to your financial capability and to your mental health as well.
149  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Follow the technique if you have zero trading knowledge in crypto on: December 23, 2023, 12:12:45 PM
If you are know in crypto trading you can follow it.
I started trading from 2017   
What is the market you started trading in 2017?

Quote
I was zero knowledge with crypto trading  but Belive me my 90% trade was successfully profit gainer with just maintenance following technique.
Zero knowledge about crypto trading and get 90% successful rate for your trading in this market, it's impossible and unbelievable. Because this market is volatile and run by news, by Bitcoin halving cycles and regulations on this market can affect it a lot.

If you are not experienced in this market, you will belong to most vulnerable traders and more easily to lose money.

I don't say you told lies but if you want to make your claim more convincing, please show proof. At least screenshots that are even hard to verify but with screenshots of your trading history, it's better than nothing.

I definitely agree.

This is just some pure self-proclaimed trader who makes a lot of profits based his intuition only, unless backed up with some solid proofs like what you have said. Even in spot trading, I don't see him making profits most of the time even though he has zero knowledge, unless he is lucky most of the time, then he's telling lies. Randomly entering a trade and winning a huge profit is a rare kind of event for a newbie trader.
150  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: You lose more when you over trade on: December 23, 2023, 10:29:54 AM
I agree.

They never stop, even though they made more than enough already, that's why they ended up having nothing because of their lose streaks. It's not bad to be greedy, but sometimes it goes up in our heads, being too confident that the market will always go to our way that's why they suffered a lot of losses instead of one or few big wins in a day. They always want big leverage to flex it on social media, which make their trade vulnerable to liquidation.
151  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The best decision you can take on: December 23, 2023, 09:24:35 AM
Trading is all about risk, therefore it is always unsure and unpredictable.

That's why we use technical analysis, or fundamentals in trading, whatever suites us best, we use it to predict the market, because again, we're unsure about it so we predict it over and over again to see if we're right or wrong about it. Staying off in trading is when our minds are clouded with mixed decisions, it is also being unsure what to do so you're right at some point.
152  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin create an opportunity to reduce poverty? on: December 22, 2023, 12:53:50 PM
Bitcoin already created opportunities to help anyone, it's just not everyone of us knows Bitcoin exist and those who knows it exists mostly are nonbelievers.

Poor people also doesn't have the privilege to grasp Bitcoin, that's why maybe they don't even bother to have it, because what they earn daily or even monthly are just enough to feed their families and pay their bills, nothing more, nothing less. Also, the very first cure to poverty is to educate those people who are illiterate about sex education. Those who lives in slums or secluded rural areas mostly produce children because of boredom, since they are unemployed, that's also need to be solved first to eliminate poverty if possible.
153  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Time for a transaction to confirm, nowadays on: December 22, 2023, 12:07:16 PM
We have no choice but to wait.
If you want faster transaction in this kind of situation, use higher fee, but if you're willing to wait for your transaction to be confirmed, use lower fee to save, simple as that. This kind of scenario is always happening each year, the sudden outburst of transaction fee, which always resolved after some time so it's always about patient.
154  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Investing in Bitcoin will bring you hope and gambling will leave you destitute. on: December 22, 2023, 10:58:20 AM
You can't blame those people who lost a lot of money in gambling, because maybe they are more on after for excitement, thrill, while hoping to earn money.

The only mistake they always make is that they are engaging in gambling without any knowledge about it and self-control, and if I'm not mistaken, all of them are in favor to the house because they have to make a certain bankroll per day for their gambling platform to keep on running. That's why most of the time, players always lose, it's just about how lucky a certain person is in gambling to earn huge profits.
155  Economy / Economics / Re: How to gain money on: December 21, 2023, 03:27:49 PM
Be an employee or a freelancer, that's your only hope since that's not included in what you have mentioned.

You could also do some treasure hunting if you have plenty of time, though doing that without some proper equipments would be have. In short, there's no such thing as easy money. You have to do something in order to earn it, in every legal ways. Being a freelancer is the easiest since you can easily manage your own time to finish something, you're the boss.
156  Economy / Economics / Re: Learn to use DEBT in a proper way to create asset on: December 21, 2023, 01:37:38 PM
Both are bad in my opinion, unless you have enough experience in starting a business and it gave you a lot of profits.

You can't guarantee that the good debt you took will give you money in a certain period of time because you started your own business. It's a risk, either it's going to be a success or not, but most of the time, business is only good at the beginning, you will need a lot of money to make it run in a short or long period of time to gain trust of people which will be your customers that will give you profits.

A debt is a debt, as much as possible, it's much better to find another source of income, save money, until you have the capital you need to make an investment, or a business.
157  Economy / Economics / Re: Are fast-fashion shopping apps hurting local economy? on: December 21, 2023, 12:55:02 PM
They also pay taxes, as well as the platform they are using.

So yes, they don't hurt the local economy. What's hurting the economy all over the world is our own government, especially because of inflation, which can be manipulated by people who has the power to do so. For what reason, well because of money of course, they wanted to collect money from their citizens in a "legal" way that normal citizens won't see.
158  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you regret also for ever knowing about gambling? on: December 20, 2023, 02:32:49 PM

I used to have a circle of friends who I played poker with after work and even on weekends. I never blame them if there are times I spend more money in gambling than I should to the point that I spend my week's worth allowance playing poker. It's just too childish because it's your decision to stick with your friends and to let them influence you in gambling. I think we should always be mature enough to accept that whatever decision or bad life can be, by the end of the day the choices we make in life are made by ourselves not by other people, so I just find it wrong to blame others because of it.

I agree with this.

If you are already an adult, then there's no point in blaming other people because in the first place, you are responsible of you own decisions. Whether they influenced you or not, the final say and action will still be yours to execute. So be mature enough to accept your fault and your shortcomings, especially if things won't turn out the way you want to. If you don't really want to do it, then you won't. If they will force you, cut them off. It will be your choice whether to stay friends with toxic people with poor mindset or find your preferred set of friends that will influence you positively. Blaming others is purely pathetic when you should be looking after yourself and not them doing it for you.
159  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which type of gambling have more gambling addicts ? on: December 20, 2023, 12:05:46 PM
It depends on the gambler himself because people have different preferences after all. There are gamblers who are more into traditional games which are held inside a physical casino establishment such as poker because it gives them the freedom to interact personally with other gamblers. With that, some people are easily hooked up and entertained. Meanwhile, there are people who are into modern games such as those games in casino websites or applications. For instance, slot or roulette games that are luck based games online. Those who don't like complexity become more addicted in easy and convenient games such as these. Although it really varies because we have different likings and people have different spending habits and time allotment for it.
160  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. on: December 20, 2023, 08:03:17 AM

Informing about the dangers of too much gambling and the high probability of a player becoming addicted to gambling at the stage of the disease is indeed very widespread now in the world. 
Almost everyone who starts gambling is well aware of the possibility of such a development of events.  However, a player who can be called safe does not pay too much attention to such warnings and plays as much as he wants.  And he has absolutely no idea when he crosses the border that separates his gambling from gambling addiction.  And quite often it turns out that the player has already become addicted to gambling, but he does not understand it yet.  And close people already understand that there is a problem, but the player tells them that he can easily stop playing at any time.  But in fact, this is not at all true, he is not able to do this voluntarily because it is a mental illness.  It’s not so easy to find informaation about this boundary between healthy and unhealthy gambling on the Internet.  And therefore, simply information about the dangers of gambling is not enough to effectively combat gambling addiction.

Before someone enters the gambling industry, one must already know the possible dangers of gambling. It's not always rainbows and sunshines in gambling. There will always be times that one will be unlucky and experience losses. Those losses are learning lessons to do better next time around. If one will disregard the consequences of gambling, it's really highly possible that he will suffer addiction later on. And this is because not considering the possible negative effects means being complacent. When you get complacent, you do not care about doing better and rather just go with the flow. So the longer the dependency, the harder it will take for someone to quit gambling.
