We indeed feel various emotions when we take risks in general. It's normal to feel many emotions all at once or even sudden change of emotion especially if the situation you are into quickly turns into something unexpected. Winning a bet can give a person the feeling of satisfaction, enjoyment, and fleeting feeling that as if you are on a cloud-9. However, the moment you lose, all of those happy feelings will fade away and turn into melancholy. We are humans, it's perfectly normal to have those emotions varying in scenarios we are in.

But for me, this isn't enough to justify that someone must not quit gambling or even do moderate and responsible gambling just because he feels all these emotions to make him alive. It's still a matter of discipline. Emotions are part of a human nature. Using it as an excuse just to justify your bad gambling habits because you feel like you exist and you feel high is just so wrong on so many levels. We should still be able to analyze and recognize every situation we are in. We should know when to continue and when to stop. We should control our emotions and not the other way around.

Doubts are the only one you can get in bearish market if you don't know what Bitcoin really is. Volatility is the reason why it has ups and downs, dipping is a good opportunity to buy, not to doubt it. But like what I've said, if you don't have any idea about cryptocurrency, a dipping price is a no good for you because you think cryptocurrency is a thing that would only go up forever, there's no such thing.

Those people who always doubt Bitcoin in a bearish market are those people that are always buying when it reaches another all time high and would complain not making any profits after that, because it keeps dipping again.

Of course when your funds disappeared in a certain exchange, it is their responsibility to compensate for your losses, they have to return all of the funds you lost in order for them to maintain their services trustworthy. Nobody wants an exchange that doesn't care about its users, that's why those big exchangers are doing everything they could to solve every problem that their users are experiencing.

Not your keys, not your wallet, and most of all, that's the scariest part because you don't have any control of your funds no matter how reputable a certain exchange is. Hardware wallets and cold wallets are much safer in my opinion, because you hold your own keys and funds, I guarantee that's much better and will let you sleep at night more peaceful.

Most exhibition matches are indeed scripted from the very beginning. It's almost an open secret. Although not every exhibition match are really like that because professional boxers has still pride. Most of them still want to win by doing their usual ways in boxing as a refresher as form of relaxation as well from retirement.

The good thing here in their exhibition match is that there are people who will also benefit because the money Pacman would get will mostly go to charity. Despite his age, surely Pacquiao still has the moves. He may be past his prime, but the training and discipline instilled to him will surely remain despite being out of the ring.

Some people prefer doing this , but they mostly place their bets after those famous personalities who are known to win big from betting. Personally, I view this as a risky move especially if you'll just copy a bet rrom an unknown bettor with no reputation and credibility to uphold. They might end up messing up and you'll instantly lose your money.

This way is widely known in trading as well. There are people who like to do copy trading and they mostly follow those people that are really good at trading to make the most out of their trade. But it's still so much better that you personally know how betting works and how much risk you are putting your funds into, so that you won't do the blame game afterwards.

Clearly, respect isn't present in the relationship of the guy who stole money from his girlfriend. They don't know how to communicate well which lead to this scenario. I also don't agree to share an almost half of the chunk of his winnings to his girlfriend. It's still his own doing. He should take the credit and he should be the one to utilize it. But it's also improper to just give back what he technically stole. He could have share a reasonable amount as a way of giving thanks.

Regarding the boss and the employee, the employee could have a gentle-supportive personality in which as much as possible they avoid conflicts. If ever this is really the case, it'll be likely that he'll not enjoy his winning because of people pleasing. It's just really frustrating that some people will take advantage of you just because they are superior and they know you can't really budge.

As far as my mind can comprehend this thread, OP is talking about an actual lottery and not really from an online website which is why it's painful knowing that you've won, but won't really get to enjoy your winning prize because of some sort of issue.

It's not really OP's fault that the company had glitch on their database resulting to wipe out of their crucial information. Because they should have a back up in the first place and make their security tight so that inconvenience like this won't happen. This could be some form of assurance for them too not only for the players. Really do hoping we'll get an update from the process of this case.

Panicking happens when you're not updated, or you don't know what you're doing, or you don't know well cryptocurrency and yet you invested all your money. When it comes to emotions, you really have to master how not to be overpowered by your emotions when you're trading, especially when you lose a trade, take a brake, reset, and trade again, don't ever chase your losses without any decent strategy.

Over trading is the act when you're chasing your losses, you lose your focus, risk your mental health by achieving nothing because you don't really have a plan except for chasing your losses, which is very scary.

Old generation and most of the generation now have been influenced by their parents, friends, or any influencers about savings in the bank is good. Banks steal our money, making huge profit out of it while we gain so little per year with our savings on them. Being an employee will never make you rich, and that's true unless you have a really great job that pays you well.

Investing it on Bitcoin rather than in bank is a good idea, but convincing someone that doesn't have any idea how cryptocurrency work is a tough job, not worth the time, in my opinion.

Due to inflation, everything got expensive, prices are skyrocketing and the supplies are very low making the whole situation worst. Low quality products before are already expensive as well because of the inflation, for those who doesn't have enough money, they have no choice but eat anything that they can afford, but if you have the money, always go for the nutritional foods and products.

You can never ask for cheap prices anyways even though the economy is down because businesses needs to make profits to ensure their businesses to keep on running. Making their products cheap because the economy is down doesn't make any sense at all.

I share the same sentiments with you.

While I like his idea of wearing a costume to hide his identity in order to secure his safety and of course winnings, I also don't like the idea of hiding something from your loved ones, given that you are the head of the family. It's okay to keep it a secret from your relatives, but not to the family you built to have. You can always teach them something they don't know or practice so that they'll be better.

I find it selfish and unreasonable despite his reason because that kind of matter can always be talked about and worked on. But of course, this won't always be applicable in every situation. If he happens to have an abusive wife and aggressive son/daughter, it might be for the better. But if your family is not dysfunctional and you can see that harmony is within your home, then there's no reason for you to keep it hidden. They'll surely understand you if you're just going to let them become aware and educated about financial aspects.

I very much agree with this.

Dwelling on your loss won't do you any good. You can no longer change what already occurred. You just have to accept the fact that you lost and you must move forward keeping all the lessons it taught you. It will be hard to just forget and move on, most especially if it's your first loss or it's a massive loss on your part. But you can do several ways to alleviate the pain and distract yourself from repeatedly thinking about it, worrying about it, and regret about it.

You might want to try doing your hobbies or exploring new things that will make you feel better to get over from your loss. Distraction could probably work because you'll keep your mind occupied to avoid thinking negative thoughts. It is often the advice even of the professionals to get over with something you can no longer control.

I thought it was a real life experience because of the title.

Anyways, if ever it would happen to me in real life, I would definitely be freakin mad on my friend for crossing the line. Respect matters a lot to me. Even if you have good intention in doing something, you should always ask consent before actually doing it especially if it concerns other people's lives. You should stop being so nosy and too imposing because it is such a rude attitude. If you want your friend to be on the right path and make sensible decisions, then you could talk to them and not control them.

The act of manipulation is such a bad thing. If they want it, then let them get it for themselves. Ask them if they want to hear your opinion about their decision. If they said they do, give them your insights. Otherwise, shut your mouth if you'll just spit an unsolicited opinion. If you already educated them and nothing still happens, then it's now up to them. Let them handle the consequences of their actions. After all, you shouldn't ,meddle in someone else's life issues. I just don't think it's appropriate to insist to be involved.

As far as I know, online casino's and sports betting platform that has established their reputation and credibility to their clients and to the community are still doing better in the gambling industry. People have been bored most especially during the peak of the pandemic. Those that can afford to gamble because they have a spare indulged in gambling, while others who just have enough made a pass in gambling during those trying times. I can attest to this because I know personally people who opt to did the scenarios mentioned.

While some of the players prioritized the necessities first, it still doesn't remove the fact that the established gambling platforms still catered to a good market to make them profit and to keep their business running up to date. Right now that there has been more ease on protocols and the pandemic has eventually being resolved by vaccinations and healthy safety guidelines, businesses like gambling casinos are also starting to be better in terms of profit and operation and there's really a little to be concerned about.

To be honest, this is such a stupid move. A childish act like this isn't really fit to be exhibited in gambling world. Not unless you want to really lose it all.

Losing a big amount could really be regretful because you could have bought something out of it or allocate it in something nicer which you could have enjoyed and cherished. However, things that are already done can't be undone anymore. What has happened is already in the past and there's nothing you can do to change it. You just grasp the lesson it taught you.

$270 is already a huge amount. From my point of view, this is an amount that you cannot really afford to lose, hence you resort to chasing winnings. Revenge is a petty thing. I don't also think it's applicable on gambling websites or casinos because as we all know, the edge is always on the house. The RTP isn't always as big as players want it to be which could potentially harm you if you have a backwards and close-minded thinking you could put some sort of plan then get even on the house.

Chasing winning after a loss could really be harmful to your well-being and to your budget as well. The mental stress it could give you can damage your health and affect how you'll function. In addition, it could also disrupt your financial aspect the moment you got lost and addicted in playing to win without you noticing it.

You could at least name the casino website you played with so that the members could give more insights about your situation. Dropping names of the website isn't really prohibited here so might as well tell it so that the situation will be looked in considerable angle for both sides. If it was a reputable casino, you have a little to be worried about. Sometimes this just happens, especially if you won a big amount, The verification process is sometimes slow because of several factors such as there are many players withdrawing their winnings just like you and they are thoroughly verifying the information you have given them such as the information provided in the KYC process to withdraw your fund.

Since this is a big amount, you could try to follow up for their verification on your case. Ask them about  an update on your winning withdrawal. If you don't hear from them and yet they remain active in other sorts of form, you could file a legal action about his matter to make you at ease. Now, if you happen to play in an unknown website that isn't really proven to be credible because of few feedbacks about it, then you are partly to be blame. This is because if a casino hasn't established yet their credibility, it could always turn out to be a scam. You just have to hope that everything will turn out great on your end if ever this is the case. New casinos who don't have license and reputation to uphold can vanished without a trace because they don't have anything to prove to their clients after all.

To some people, ads affect their judgment. Some tend to be so engrossed and caught up with the idea of how good a product or service is being marketed. To the point they are being drawn too much to it resulting to actually giving a shot to try it. I have also experienced this kind of situation not just gambling related, but in general. My curiosity got the best out of me to eventually buy and try it to see for myself.

This could be the case too for gambling players. Nice marketing strategy could really garner a gambling site a guaranteed client. Most of those people who often falls into ads trap are the newbies because they don't know the fundamentals yet and are very much willing to explore. Some people are also affected by ads in terms of being drawn back to their old gambling ways. Those people who are addicted are the usual victims of this. Relapse happens the moment they are triggered by something. In this instance, the advertisements of the casinos regarding promotions and bonuses. Ads could potentially attract again those who are planning to leave gambling behind depending on the level of discipline and determination of the gambler to change his gambling ways that are overly stimulating.

You could check this site, this might help I believe since they have updated news hourly (if I'm not mistaken) about cryptocurrency, like any hot news about any cryptocurrency or interesting news about it that might help you in a certain way. Their UI is very clean and very user friendly, you're not gonna confuse on what to press or anything.

E D I T: I'm not promoting them or anything, just wanted to help OP.

Sports betting is the best of them all, because it's the most fair, I might say.

Sports betting requires a lot of IQ, by solving probabilities and statistics to improve your chances of winning, by analyzing data that you've gather, etc. When you have the patient and good judgment about it, mostly you'll make profits, no doubt. Compare to lottery and online gambling, which relies on luck most of the time and a lot of random number combinations which makes it hard to guess what's the winning tactic.
