Such practices will only cause trouble for both friends. If the person doesn't win any money the rightful owner of the money won't feel happy about it. The other person may not be a gambler but has been convinced by the winning stories of his friend. And wants to give it a try. He may have developed some sweet syndromes, thinking about how big they'll become if his friend wins. So, to some, it's not their fault that they financed the gambler. And the gambler won't take the blame either, thereby ending the relationship. Hence, it's not advisable for a non-gambler to finance a gambler. Suggesting gambling with the money instead, it's not possible for a gambler to finance another gambler. Everyone will prefer experiencing the fun, and winning themselves. Only newbie players will prefer handing out their money to another gambler, as they don't, yet, feel familiar with gambling.

As regards to borrowing money, compulsive gamblers who look for deceitful methods of taking people's money, will not tell the money lender that they need the money for gambling. It'll reduce their chances of getting approved to receive the money. So, the gambler will need to do anything on his horizon to convince the person to lend him money. Giving meaningful reasons as to why they need the money. Most of them lose out all the borrowed money and risk their life. As they'll feel vulnerable for owing a huge amount, which they can't account for, how it vanished. Many gamblers in Australia left this world for such reasons. People are advised to conduct underground research on whom they lend money to, not to contribute to the despair of that person. He should be left with no money, then given money to gamble. Engendering his life and wasting money meant for society.  

By patience, do you mean waiting or continuing playing till they get a win? It sounds that way, but leaving the computer would be better advice for the gambler. Because of why they wait or screen or chat with other gamblers on the chat board. The newbie might go back to try some luck when others share their wins on the chat box. As a newbie, it's crucial he gets used to staying informed on different gambling strategies. Then practice with demo modes, when he's no longer comfortable with wagering money. Gambling only gets better when the gambler, enjoys every bit of the process. But, it requires consistent trial and error to get familiar with our gambling impulses. Gambling isn't something that needs a strong effort to control. The player only needs to always stay in control of his decision. Whenever he begins to doubt his decisions, he'll face problem gambling. About a gambling site to gamble, he can do some research on top review sites. Then choose old gambling platforms. When experiencing new challenges, the gambler needs to open threads and discuss with other gamblers regarding his new problems. He can be doing that until he feels a bit safe and responsible for every step he makes in gambling.

Gamblers fight directly with the house tooth and nail in slot games, with the odds mainly against the gambler. The more you gamble the more difficult it gets to win. That's why as a slot player you must limit the time spent, gambling, as the house edge could be a 2% winning possibility for the player. So, no need to feel bad about losing too much in the slot, or the complications involved in playing slot games. In the slot, the terminology, enjoy gambling erupts. Because if you are the type who doesn't enjoy playing slot, you'll go home very sad, due to multiple losses. I experience this a lot and battle it with playing smaller amounts. The casino can try to change my strategy by offering me wins, so that I'll wager more amount. That's where we slot players test the mansion of confidence in us, whether it's well built or just vulnerable and can be swept away by the tricks of the casino. Additionally, don't switch from one slot machine to another. Try to understand a specific slot machine or slot game. Unless you know the house edge placed on a slot game by the casino, don't place too many bets on that machine or game. Most house edge is half of one percent, you can read or research on how housing edge can be calculated. It'll help you have a clearer view of what amount to expect from the casino and how much they'll make off every single bet you stake on the slot machine. I think with this information, getting the house edge right, you won't bother about the complex nature of slot games and just enjoy the fun. Like you're playing some video games expecting to win money some days.

The government didn't shut down mixers in the first place. Hence, no need to wonder if the government will shut down casinos. Gambling is legalized in most countries, and the government earns lots of money through them. They may be hunting mixers because they don't make much money through those mixers. As everything happens hidden. The government is mainly focused on what they'll profit from any business or technology. If a business is successful and the government doesn't have a way of earning through it, the government will find a way of shutting it down. Don't you think that government officials also launder money using these mixers? Any business or body can be used to launder money. It's not a surprise to see you mentioned casinos as a way money launderers use to move or rinse money with no available traces. KYC only reduced the rate of money laundering, but imagine if a casino is owned by a team of money launderers will they need to bother about anything before laundering money? Many organized crime families make their money through casinos and launder money with the help of their member who owns the casino. I've read of crime families that use a member's gold business to launder money to Mexico. Does it mean that gold stores would be closed down because one store was found guilty of money laundering? Every niche has its downside because people in the business consist of both good and bad intentions. Mixers are great for maintaining privacy, which is the main aim of cryptocurrency. But, it's been misused, alongside bitcoin. So, the government will keep on hunting them to seize the money they've made through the business. Then resell the seized bitcoin for profits.

Online casinos may have increased the rate of gambling addiction, but it all relies on the gambler. Just like social media users who are constantly reading posts on Facebook and Instagram. Aren't these people addicted to social media? Whatever is gluing them on social media is also meddling with gamblers. The only difference is that gamblers have to wager money while staying glued to their gadget. And whenever someone is losing so much money, they tend to get angrier. Because lots of responsibilities are left untouch, and it piles up. When they try to solve some problems the urge to gamble with the money calls on the phone. The addict doesn't have any reason to ignore it, as it seems to be a source of happiness to them. Hence, the addicted player fails to understand that the money they've lost in gambling is messing with their mental health. Think about a broke man, he stays hungry and angry at the same time. He doesn't think straight until he's back on money. When a gambler goes broke, he won't be happy, back on funds, he'll be happy for a few seconds until gambling sweeps the whole money off. They now live in complete sadness, not being able to help it.

Waste of money is the only difference between an addicted gambler and a social media addict. Meaning that our gadgets come with easy accessibility, putting humans completely dependent on the gadgets for fun, information and even work. Billions of people can't go a day without spending significant time on a specific website. So, in terms of a gambler, it gets to a point when the gambler won't stay a minute without paying a visit to his online gambling site. Then he participates in gambling. He'll lose out time management, and also money management, which should be the major concern. The problem with gamblers is almost every social media user's cup of tea. How do people feel when they lose their phone? The self-control is almost removed, we'll only stay safe when the money management is intact. Gambling is good, but addiction is bad when the money is wasted putting the player in a deeper anger and emotional challenge.

This thread is a reminder that something triggers the urge to get addicted to gambling. In the situation of the guy in Op's story, he began when his wife left. He needed a companion to stay completely clear from gambling, when he had none, the urge to gamble erupted and within a few weeks he became a victim of gambling addiction. Gambling too many times due to loneliness, the habit can be crossed to video games. Instead of wasting money on the process and at the same time risking mental health. And if the person doesn't gamble to his satisfaction he won't stop for the day. Then, first thing in the morning they'll need to finish up, where they stopped the previous day. It's quite impossible to have control over gambling addiction. The addict is now vulnerable to gambling and will keep up with it, gambling now feels like the air he breaths. A times when with no money, the gambler can be pushed to take loans to finance his habit. Not everyone will stop when the money is exhausted. Emplacing gambling as a companion sounds boring, a responsible player will easily get fed up. Nothing stops us from meeting new people and engaging with them. Building our social skills is very important, as it'll help us avoid some bad habits loneliness can cause when we are lonely.

Playing slots has always been a challenge, tried it with my girlfriend and figured she is quite good in slot games. Her numerous wins in demo modes, helped me to try out slot games. Although in different forms, not exactly the one she played. Moving further, I read a book on slot games, and how slot machines can be manipulated to eat up the gambler's money without returning any win, how gamblers can take advantage of a bad slot machine and the house edge. These factors helped to reduce the challenges I had in gambling. Never was good in sports gambling, due to the odds. And I prefer watching matches with a free mind.

While trying to master Roulette games, choosing the right number indeed posed a threat to me, I normally skipped them and went for a slot with a higher winning chance. Picking the red and black sides of the table helped me to stay winning in roulette games. Card games like Joker posed a threat because I feel people at the same table as me play better than myself. But, sooner I started winning, even to the championship stage, where I'd have to compete with the last man standing in the tournament. At the initial stage, every single game, normally, posed a threat, but continuing and trying again helped us to pose a threat to the game. While we try again, we must be conscious of our money or bankroll.

Winning and losing in gambling depends on how people manage risks and predict games. It's stressful to think gambling is mainly on luck. We gain authority in gambling when we feel in control of the game by devising a strategy to follow the house. Playing solely on luck wouldn't yield us enough profits. But, a gambler can have few observations on the game they normally play as gamblers. Given time, they'll be able to follow their instincts and try to win some more. Because we ain't sure whether we'll win or not, doesn't mean we shouldn't strive to win. Gambling to win money, isn't bad, abusing it is wrong. So, if a gambler turns losses to be win and win losses what would his reactions be? I think more happiness. As awkward as it may sound, the more we are celebrating losses we tend to win due to the benefits of a relaxed mind is calculated predictions. Playing games just because we want to gamble, can be different for individual gamblers. Some stake without calculating, for the fun. While others try to understand why their instinct suggests they play a specific game. Hence as gamblers, we have different motives and perspectives. Figuring out the unique reasons why people engage in gambling differs, but a good number play for the money. And also many gamblers have won big money via gambling. Where the game gets more interesting is, winning big more often. There the players don't solely depend on luck, but techniques and valid moves that'll help them stay rolling as gamblers.

Gamblers should easily avoid taking loans while gambling because it gets too difficult along the line when their payment is due. They have nothing to gain out of it, as only a few would win big using borrowed money. The idea isn't acceptable. If the need to gamble insists, they can easily play the demo mode. Chasing loss is becoming common amongst gamblers and the number of gamblers who make this mistake, fail to figure out how to stop it. Because they get tired when the money in their bankroll gets exhausted. A lot more things to avoid while gambling, include; unlimited gambling sessions, lack of self-control, not knowing when to stop, expecting quick money, etc. Those who gamble every single time, don't perform well in gambling. As their brain isn't settled, it keeps getting worked out till the gambler is stressed to the extent of not being able to control himself. Putting lots of load on the brain derails a good performance of the brain. Such players also forget about their daily activities, financial responsibilities, and hobbies. All-day gambling, apart from the waste of funds, contributes to addiction. The gambler rarely goes out to discuss with humans; friends or family. Soon the person can't get himself out of the developed habit. They start to struggle with changing themselves.

Knowing when to stop gambling is more like giving ourselves a few days or weeks' break from gambling. Recovering with our inner selves, calculating how much was spent in gambling, and taking a full rest, is crucial in reviving a gambler's sense of making good predictions. Nothing dwindles the life of a gambler like not being able to stop. I prefer the gambling strategy which requires a gambler to gamble for 4 days, then rest for at least 2 days before going back to gamble. Then while on vacation we can gamble for a few months and then rest for another 2 weeks. Preparing the mind for a better gambling session. However, whenever we fail to practice these things, the brain gets so worked up that, the gambler gets confused about his new development. But, it then seems like an involuntary action, where the gambler is aware of his inabilities, but can't help it. Even when offered help, he can get offensive and blame his helper. It has a huge bad psychological effect on the player. Opening up would be his worst struggle. Battling with the therapist, and resisting therapy sessions. What would become of such a gambler if his actions were fueled initially, by borrowed money? wouldn't that be a double trouble? Gambling responsibly is excellent for us all. Everyone should stay clear of borrowing money to gamble. It isn't worth the mental disorder walking behind it.

Yeah, mathematics has a gambling formula, in which mathematicians use probability to decide whether to place a bet or not. Especially in sports games. I've been around some mathematical forums where dice are manipulated using mathematical formulas. The odds are also calculated using math. This shows how glued gambling is to mathematics. It only gets better for intelligent mathematicians who can apply simple formulas before staking bets. Although not all games like blackjack can be won using mathematical methods. However, it requires time to become an expert in using those formulas. Not every gambler can utilize such an advantage in gambling. But, like Op said many gamblers quite have higher chances of winning big in gambling, using math. Luck is for nonmathematical experts, who still comprise of a huge number of gamblers across the world. However, those math experts still lose out in gambling, not that their formulas always predict games the right way.

Transfer of aggression is common amongst humans, not just gamblers. Displaced anger can be caused from the childhood stage, how parents treat a child can leave such a bad emotional behavior in them, when they get to adulthood. Many people who transfer aggression, lose good relationships and end up becoming sad people. It's good Op has noticed his disorder, and seeks help, as most people won't figure it out. Gambling can be a catalyst that triggers displaced anger. Which disorder, affects the people they're ushering the anger to. The recipient won't understand why their friend or brother is harsh on them. Therefore it develops confusion in the recipient's brain, asking themselves too many questions, what could be wrong, how did I go wrong? Now that Op is aware of his emotional disorder, he needs some rest, to deal with stress. He may have invested too many hours in gambling and figuring out analyses and strategies that'll work.

People who destroy their devices like you mentioned, should be suffering from a different stage of displaced anger, they are getting too aggressive. And need adequate attention, before it gets out of control. They can easily hurt loved ones in the process. Taking them to a hospital or a psychologist would be a good idea. I normally say that gambling contributes a little to most of the problem people think is caused by gambling. Anxiety and heartbreak cause addiction to gambling. You see that emotionally stable gamblers rarely get addicted to gambling, as their losses don't affect their joy or happiness. If you are close to such a person, send them a letter to visit a psychotherapist. What actually, led them to lose much money in gambling is mainly the problem not gambling. People also have purchasing problems, they don't know why they bought a problem. It's also a sign of psychological problems. Which needs to be looked into, and solved immediately. As they blame it on gambling if they venture into gambling and begin to spend their money on slot games. 

Working from home should be a choice for some staff who are close to their place of work. However, some job openings are strictly remote. Many companies tend to send a few staff, maybe the techies, to work from home. There won't be any need for them to come to the office every day if their task can be achieved remotely. In a few conditions or scenarios, the staff can decide to work in the office if they choose to work remotely. With the excuse that he won't be able to work efficiently at home. Unless he's mandated to work from home regardless of his excuses, then he may have some grace period if he doesn't perform well, as he already submitted a request stating his reasons earlier. The company can be strict on those who accept to work from home but don't deliver a good job or miss work hours or Zoom meetings. Hence, it's crucial to open up to the company, if we can't be disciplined enough to do the work-from-home program. As cool as it may sound, working from home is not simple. We always need a supervisor present to perform a great job. Working from home is like becoming a semi-boss, who decides when to work or rest. The journey gets difficult every day, as the staff has been acquainted with working in the office. Being disciplined for a long, can be problematic when we do one thing for long.

I was having this conversation on a different thread and would like to say that knowing gambling is great, but its application is greater. Addiction most times isn't caused by lack of knowledge, anybody can become addicted to anything, despite being fully aware of the safety routines attached to it. Some safety methods of gambling when practiced will reduce the rate of addiction, yet I don't understand why most people don't follow instructions. Because in this forum, gamblers frequent this gambling section, and what is mainly discussed is gambling addiction. But, members still become addicted. Depression and hopelessness can push somebody into gambling addiction. Instead of tracing the root of the problem, they'll blame it on gambling. Then, the problem gambling boosts as the gambler tries to reverse the addiction or get cured. Gambling experience can be gotten by reading alone. Playing games often helps newbies to get experience in gambling.

Once the person, doesn't get addicted after some time, he can be said to have been experienced in gambling. Those who don't engage in gambling, but study every day about gambling and how to manage money will easily become addicted the season they engage in gambling activities. Unless they talk to people who are quite knowledgeable in gambling, they may not be able to control what's up for them at the time of gambling. A lot of them, lose huge amounts in gambling because it's not all about reading or studying the disadvantages of gambling. During gambling, lots of factors come into play, which can mislead the gambler to make the wrong decision. Some get disappointed as they don't seem to understand gambling. From what they've read, all the strategies don't seem to work.

After a few discoveries I found that you're right. Anybody can be addicted to gambling depending on different factors. Not just self-control, therapists say that we can get addicted without being aware. Maybe after some moments, the brain begins to act in unusual ways. The gambler now discovers he's addicted to gambling. But, won't have the courage to inform anybody or open up to family or others on the outside. In this stage of addiction, the gambler gets exposed to more problem gambling. Spending money without calculating and ends up becoming a sympathetic gambler. Then it could be a serious stage of addiction according to your context. It doesn't seem like the first stage of gambling addiction, where the player still enjoys gambling thrills and invests more time into gambling, and avoiding other social activities. Why I said something about sympathetic gambling as a way towards gambling addiction, before you changed my perspective, is that even newbie gamblers experience the same thing. Most people who we see wearing angry faces are new gamblers. Who have been disappointed, or carried away by thinking that they've not lost enough money like the other guy who just left. Hence, they'll trust trying more luck could bring a change to their current losing spree.

Then in the next process, the player will get desperate, seeking more wins, and hopelessness erupts in the life of the gambler. He won't see things the good way anymore. Gambling will be the priority on their daily list. So, not being aware of these things or the disadvantages of gambling doesn't make any difference for those who do? Don't you think a percentage of gamblers who do their research, escape addiction? regardless of the whole odds being against the player. I mean not everyone gets addicted, after discovering the importance of money management and practicing it. That is creating a strategy for limiting how money is spent. May be having a daily transaction limit on the bank account. At least the gambler is one step ahead of getting addiction, because his money gets cut, whenever he tries to gamble more than his daily limit. In my first response, reading and practicing what we've read is still effective. You're right, for those who don't practice what they've read about escaping addiction.  

Due to the fact it's money the idea behind the technology is unique, vast, and different from any other monetary system. So, saying people can't get tired of money. We always need money for our everyday life. Closely looking at the trend, many people ain't in the stock market like it was during the last decades. In the days of Warren Buffets. Gen Z is not interested in buying stocks compared to the previous generations. You'll notice that when new technologies appear in the market. People can move on depending on the interest we get in the technology. Nobody knows what's next. The market is open and large, many people have a lot money in Bitcoin. They are patiently waiting for a technology that'll substitute bitcoin, to invest money.

Working around an environment with such distractions as kids and roommates doesn't have any solution to setting office hours with phones or laptops. The possible solution could be discipline as you said. Sometimes I'll put on headsets to notify people around that I'm not in for discussions or to avoid noises from kids. But, nothing is more effective like leaving the home to a nearby library or coffee shop. Where quietness and focus can be attained. Think of the fun we can get from kids, as similar to or above the distractions they can offer us at home. They can easily take away the headset or cry till we attend to them. Sometimes moving away from the house to a work conducive space is better. The second paragraph of your response is inspiring. The bigger distraction is our habits. Inbuilt behaviors control us from the inside. But when one applies the use of the habit as an incentive after completing our task has a huge advantage on the worker. It'll facilitate his energy during work so that they'll go and take sticks or do what pleases them.

I'm sure everyone must have experienced the disadvantage of such self control method. Humans who are deeply rooted in the habit can offer quantity over quality or inferior outputs to quickly end the tasks given to them and rush into the habit. Things like that can escape completely in an environment we are not allowed to practice it, like a shared office space. Otherwise, one day we can be carried away by the joy of the habit and perform below average. Thereby risking productivity in the long run, if the person now normalizes delivering low-quality results. And remember the boss may not complain, they'll think the low quality is fine with the company, hence it keeps getting worse day by day until their boss can't take it anymore. Some of these habits like smoking, sex, and tv shows can consume lots of time. Leaving the worker with little time to battle with the loads of tasks sitting on his table watching him enjoy his habit. I'm not generalizing this, but we can't determine when we'll be victim of such things, while trying to enjoy our habits at home where we work.

Sympathetic gambling is not encouraged in the first instance. Limiting money or playtime is a bit of advice for gamblers who need it. A sympathetic gambler is deeply disturbed and needs mental help. Because they are close to becoming addicts and with no proper repercussions the person will continue to lose more in gambling. Surprised to see such gamblers do exist, or is it just a normal way of gambling that ends up putting anger on the faces of those gamblers we see leaving in a hurry? They'll never value gambling as entertainment. Do you know that, most gamblers don't read or research about the effect of gambling and why it was made? Only a few understand that it's for fun, millions of gamblers go there for the money. And end up disappointed. Assuming addicts researched before gambling and followed the strategies that help in avoiding addictions, they wouldn't have turned addicts. Players go to the extent of taking huge loans to gamble. Limiting budgets wouldn't sound like good advise to them, because they need the winning to come so big. The reverse now becomes the case, as they'll be seeing the losses in huge amounts.

Have you heard of or seen a hotel manager send a customer away not to spend a month in the hotel? Hey, leave my hotel, you'll spend lots of money, if you continue staying! In business, such advice doesn't exist. Everyone is assumed to be in their right senses. Doesn't it sound like an insult to the gambler? he'll easily go to your competitor's casino, then gamble at ease. Hanging a placard that reads "gamble responsibly" is enough to encourage responsible gambling. The casino also wants to make more money, how on earth will their worker be allowed to continue working if he acts like that to customers? They'll be trained to act the opposite way. Offering drinks to the winner, to feel relaxed and continue wagering his wins. If casinos practice what you advise, they'll all run out of business. The money rewarded to a specific player is what serves as a marketing strategy for casinos to yield more customers. And when they don't calculate well on how it's being issued, the business will crumble. So, telling every winner to go home, is taking the casino one step closer to failing as a business. In some casinos, most waitresses or croupiers don't know much about gambling and are just there to exhibit their skills and get paid.

Most of them don't gamble and can't give gambling advice. They hardly talk to gamblers, unless they are asked a question. Sometimes they can't answer questions correctly and will reply with let me ask a different staff. Gamblers get disappointed when they figure out that a worker in a casino can't answer a basic question about gambling. Remember they are not there to gamble but to work. So, if the management figures out that their worker is a compulsive gambler wouldn't they sack him? despite working in a casino. Business is run in there like any other place. Rules and ethics are made available for workers. And a staff watches the moves and actions of all the employees. The only possible means of rendering such help is outside the casino or work hours. Maybe, luckily, you saw the player in a different location, the croupier is free to usher in their advice to the player. Then wait forever to see him patronize your casino next time.

Engaging in this thread would help you fight problem gambling. Discussing with friends and family members about this development is crucial in reducing addiction. Punctuating it, with an attentive person, can help you see things the way it is, behavior like that can make you fearful of what has become of you. But seeing it as a problem with solutions, that when applied would stop, curtails the risk of gambling addiction. Try to rethink or ease your stress, whenever the urge to scold the kids erupts. Read books concerning kids and taking effective care of them. It's a kind of psychotherapy method of shifting your thoughts from what won't help to a better and more meaningful one. CBT, cognitive behavioral therapy, has helped therapists to battle client's addictions. If you wish to see a therapist, always stay active and don't resist the therapist. Sometimes we'll think of not being good enough if we can't help ourselves, who then can cure us. Regular activities in a different direction and engaging in discussion about our problems with other people has proven to be an effective way of curing gambling addiction. However, gambling addiction is quite hard to cure, as it's rare for gambling to switch focus on other things. Since winning money is attached to it. We hardly stop things that yield us money. Regardless of the risk or the mental disadvantages. Following the procedures for CBT can help reshape your thoughts on gambling and provide a fresh picture in your subconscious. Then you can have a happy session or moment with the kids. Staying happily with kids also helps in changing our bad habits as adults.

Hi thanks for your help, I already got tron, would try this some other times when I need to trade tron again. The trc 20 network is quite a pain in the ass, wondering why both tron and usdt has same address, but contains different currency and I'm being warned not to send usdt to the same address meant for tron. While they're both the same.
