What is the most money you have ever lost in one session? could be land base casino or crypto casino.
mine was $200,000 on Stake.com 2 weeks ago
from my experience I only once lost the biggest loss in 1 session around $350 on a fiat bet on a roulette game and if I remember at that time I was overcome by very high emotions chasing losses and in the end I still lost everything but thats okay it made it the best experience ever I've experienced. wait a minute you said you lost $200,000 in 1 session? If I may ask, what is your aim in betting such a large amount? to chase defeat or just for fun? IMO, if you are able to bet large amounts, perhaps losing will not reduce your wealth because I am sure you are a rich person. While each person can do whatever they want with their money, at the same time losing so much money in a single session seems like it is too much, after all with that amount of money you could do many other things to entertain yourself which will last longer than the few hours the average gambling session last, so maybe it is time for the OP to think about other hobbies they may like, since gambling so much regardless of their level of wealth seems to be unsustainable. It's all about how to manage proper risk in betting. Since it's a huge amount, it's seems to be hard to believe that you've lost it in one session and if the reason is for fun and leisure only, I bet you're super rich person because you can use high dollar amount for gambling. Better to take a break in gambling and create a management plan how to use money in gambling correctly. |

I play out of boredom or if I really want to get something out of a game and I'm literally putting money where my mouth is, but if I found a new hobby that will shadow my interests in gambling, that will do it. My financial state is somewhat stable for the next year or so, and I'm not rushing to get more money and will certainly not do it through gambling. So if there's something that will stop me from betting, that will be something that occupies my full interest, and that is a new hobby.
If that's the case, I must say that this is one of the best solution to stop you from gambling but once you get the right hobby for you, you'd better to control you decisions also your spending habit even if it's not for gambling so that you wont be addicted to it. Since you've said that you're gambling out of boredom and you're not rushing to get more money , If you have a stable income I can recommend you to explore outdoor activities such as hiking that will also gives you so much benefits both physical and emotional state. |

It's one of question which differs from person to person. How do you define richness?
No one has ever succeeded to achieve all of its dream to live. Many could have obtained the whole treasures in the world and yet wanting some more probably wish to be a god. Just absolutely.... No one gets it all but being rich is as being contented with what you have and most especially you can get to your essential needs without the luxuries. When we say rich, meaning is a successful person, talking about someone with millions in their bank accounts and having so much properties and investment. People measure how successful a person is by how much money they earn but for me, the true meaning of being rich and success is being happy on what I have in life, Most importantly if my family and I is healthy and contented on what we have. |

I really want know if getting more degrees can make life financially better because I come from a country where their are no job and I have seen people that the only thing they can do in life is to read books, getting more degrees attaining all these degrees yet no still go job for them with good pay. Do think people who read in a region with slim job opportunities are doing the right thing?
Indeed, education is very important, but it is not a criterion for success. A person can make money from different source which is not related at all to his academic discipline. One thing i must say is that academic knowledge helps to manage wealth. After having all the wealth if you don't have good knowledge on calculations; simple algebraic and arithmetic, statistics and probability then it may hinder your progress. Also, if you lack communication skills and writing skills then it would be worst. So, this is the reason why educations are important for any pursuit in life. On point! education is very important but this is not the only way for success, I know so many successful individual/ businessman who doesn't have a degree from the start before they become successful, it's all about perseverance, talent and their natural skills, However when the time goes by, they need to enroll in a college to get a degree so that they will learn more how to manage their businesses and to improve confidence in business world. |

You love a woman and you like her to be your lifetime partner. It's a lifetime commitment and she doesn't like your gambling habit, you can talk to her to spare that because before you even met her, you're already one.
But are you willing to do that?
IMHO, I'd do that but I am past that situation so it's no longer a thing for me. Financial wise, it's bad to gamble when you have got nothing and that's the condition I guess for me that I'll stop indefinitely.
But what if gambling become a main reason of your failed relationship? are you still willing not to stop just because you are into gambling even before you met her? I don't think so. If you have a good intention and you want to have a healthy relationship with good financial stability with your partner in the future, It's better to stay away on the things that may possibly ruin it. So based on your reply, seems like you'd rather to choose your vices than your partners opinion for your own good. |

I believe it's important to have a serious conversation with her about the world of gambling emphasizing personal choices and responsibility.
It's advisable to discuss this before getting married. If she's raising this concern because you might have a gambling addiction you should work on finding a balance between family interests and your enjoyment.
But leaving gambling in my opinion I don't think that
Not only about gambling, but a couple which expects to get married eventually is supposed to share that kind of opinions and disclose their habits to each other, for the sake of their relationship and the future family they want to build together. Perhaps, it is one of the reason so my marriages end up failing and broking apart, they keep secrets from each other which in the end will always surface and create disturbances between both of them If your girlfriend is a very religious kind of person and you keep to gamble secretly, you cannot expect not to have problems in marriage, specially if she finds out by other people or by checking on your finances or the family finances. Though, I am sure there will be cases where a husband loved his religious woman so much and actually gave up on gambling forever, for the sake of love. There is a little bit of everything in this world. Exactly! I know that some of us needs a privacy that's why some people is having a reason to keep it as a secret but that's not a good idea especially if you're dating now and both of you see each other as your future husband/wife, It's better to be more open to discuss this kind of topic so that you can prevent things that might happen in the future. I know there's a word "compromise" once you get married, but be fair and try to place yourself in your partner’s shoes. |

-snip- But still, there are a great many people who consider some figures and numbers lucky for themselves. And they play the lottery in their own way. I would like to know what lucky numbers members in this forum have, for lotteries but also other games (for example, 3.33x in crash, or whatever). And have you got any lucky charms? maybe a woman (I recently saw Sin City 2 and the lucky charm was a woman in colour in a film that is in black and white) or special trainers or underwear like some football players?  Please share. That would be interesting! I think many of us has a lucky combination winning number that everyone keeps to themselves. Base on my observation, players limits to use repeating numbers and some use the numbers that signifies important day to their life. For the lucky charm, Do you believe in nazar amulet which believes to protect you on some evil eyes, that's what I currently have. 🧿🧿🧿 |

Maya (Paymaya) gumawa na ng ganyan for sure nakita mo yun hindi mo lang na mention dito sa post mo. Kabilaan kahit saan ka pumunta sa NCR makikita mo napansin ko yun nung maglalamove ako. Hindi lang Bitcoin or Bitcoin logo ang nilagay nila but the whole "Crypto".
Para sakin para talaga tumaas ang awareness dito sa Pinas ng Bitcoin is gayahin talaga yung ginawa ng El Salvador pero kung sakalinaman malamang sa malamang matagal pa mangyayari yun.
Hindi ko ito napansin na mayroon na pala sila hndi kasi ako magala kaya hindi ako awarene, pero kung halimbawa gagawin din ito ng Globe o kung yung Coins.ph ay mag extra mile sa kanilang marketing at mag invest sila sa mga bill board preferably sa mga piling kalsada sa NCR at gawing nila itong permanenteng strategy siguro hindi lang magiging fully aware kundi ma i babrand nila ng husto ang Bitcoin sa awareness ng mga Pilipino. Kasi ang purpose ng mga bill board naman ay makuha yung recall ng mga tao at ma embed sa kanilang memory kaya sa tingin ko magiging effective ito sa pangkalahatan, kasi di ba yun gmga artista malalaman mo na sikat na talaga pag may mga billboard na sa mga pangunahing kalsada. Hindi din ako aware na gumawa ng ganyan ang Maya, pero tingin ko mas okay nga siguro na iadvertise ang crypto through billboard para mas madaling macaught ang atensyon ng mga tao, sa ganun paraan magiging aware ang mga tao about crypto pero hindi ganun kadali na mapabago natin ang mindset ng iilan, alam naman natin na may ibang mga tao na kapag naririnig ang salitang bitcoin and cryptocurrency, iniisip agad nila ay scam, deep web or such things based sa mga naibalita sa media before but hopefully soon, magbago ang tingin nila dito. |

Being patient and consistently involved in healthy gambling habits will surely make you a successful gambler.
That's a statement that could be interpreted in various ways and I feel like it's worth it to clarify that there's no guarantee of success in gambling. Especially with all chance based games, the longer you play, the greater the chance to bust your balance. It's just how gambling works. House edge exists and it's there to make sure the game operator can sustain hosting the games they do. So patience is good overall but not in persisting in gambling... Patience and calm is needed to know when to stop, especially after you've lost your money. The healthy gambling habit would be to see how much you're earning, risk only a small part of that money and never go beyond this amount with what you have. There's no guarantee of success in gambling. In fact, If you do not know how to control and balance your bank roll and emotion, it will lead you in a downfall. Every individual has a different perspective and characteristic, some of them may develop a healthy habit and i can't disagree with that because in reality, we have see some gamblers who consistently playing but they never experience lossing their whole money because they know their limitations and they stick to their own rules about gambling. However, some of people became addicted to it even if you gave so many advices to them but greed prevailed them |

I'm in "Never Get Greedy" because when we do this, for sure you will not end up addicted to gambling, and for sure you will be a responsible gambler because you will also limit yourself to only playing moderately.
You are the kind of gambler who, when greed doesn't enter your life, knows how to limit whether you should continue playing or not, whether you are already winning or losing at the casino. Apparently, in everything you do, you are aware of what you should do as a gambler.
Being a greedy gambler first comes with the reason or purpose why the gambler joined to gamble and bet, you know that life already had really dealt with some people whereby they think gambling is their only last means to result with, so each time they are gambling, they will have to exhibit this level of being greedy in it because they wanted to win and instead, they may be loosing because greediness cannot but complicate the chances for winning. Its easy to be said but the truth is, it's quite hard to apply the "Never get greedy" qoutation once we are on a gamblers situation. I believe some of us gets greedy at some point, espcially if there's a huge monetary involve. being greedy is a nature of a person once they feel the excitement and eagerness to win, to the point that a gambler might forget the things that they've set to their self while they are gambling. |

I believe this is coming from his parent who have simply failed the boy without them knowing, a 17 years old boy shouldn't be chasing money, instead they should be chasing skills and talent, in this age range money should be the last thing to start hunting for, this will possible make you a useless person, and you will join bad group to find short cut to making money, this is why many youths are into drug dealings, robberies and even scamming people.
agreed, while i do believe that young kids should learn discipline and financial control they shouldn’t be stressing themselves over money too much it’s still always their guardians’ responsibility to provide for them until they are of age kids who grew up too fast often feel regret later on in life even if they’re financially stable already because they feel like they’ve sacrificed their youth and there’s no other way to bring time back There's a thing called balancing. balance about having a mature mindset while enjoying things that a typical kids did. Well, you have a point that young kids doesn't need to be stress about financial matter because it's their guardians responsibility and obligation but every kids has a different nature of family and life, some kids might feel stress because of their poor situation that's why some of them developed a mature mindset at very young age, hmm Not because a kid is chasing a money or has enough financial literacy doesn't mean they will end up being a scammer or drug dealer. I'm sure that some of them will gonna regret not enjoying the things while they are young somehow, but they'll finally see that it's all worth it at the end. |

I sold our family land and used the money to invest on bitcoin. Initially I told them I want to sell the land and use the money to travel abroad. If I had told them I wanted to invest it in bitcoin they wouldn't have allowed me sell the land.
If I am a member of your family, I will also be very angry at you first because of the deceitful means you have used in making we the members of your family allow you sell the family land. And also because of that, Say I am a member of the family that has no knowledge of bitcoins, I will also find it difficult to see any investment in bitcoins you have made as true because you lied already in the first place. If I a member of your family who have knowledge of bitcoins, I will not give you commendations for your actions to invest in bitcoins. Return back the money for the land back to your family immediately you are able to make profit from it. I really dont know why that person would you trade his/her family land just to have a money to invest in bitcoin? the land itself is one of the major investment nowadays, If I were his family member, I'll be upset too because of what he did, selling the land without giving the real reason why. In fact, Investing in bitcoin is very risky due to its volatility, there's no certainty when its price goes up and down unlike the value of land, It appreciates from time to time. For me, It's better to invest in bitcoin if you have your own money to use, not from the money came from the property of your family that you've sold. |

The OP's thinking may be a good one in wanting to help others, but in this case, I'm not sure whether the man is a gambling addict or simply lonely, so they seek help for the fun of gambling games. Because I also came into contact with a similar case, but on the contrary, the person I came into contact with taught me that I should not be exposed to gambling games much but spend more time with people around.
And going back to the OP's story, I just want to suggest that you regularly discuss understanding better with your neighbor, to know better and why he likes to gamble, and definitely need advice if he's deep into gambling.
That's exactly what I thought, feels like his neighbor is having a hard time and feeling lonely because he's the only one left in his house together with his caretaker. Maybe gambling is one of the reason so that he can't feel the loneliness that he felt. If i were OP, I will talk to him at first and I'll never give him an advice as long as he didn't request for it. Also OP may consider of inviting his neighbor to do some other physical activities so that his neighbor's attention will focus on other activities rather than gambling, also to lessen the use of mobile devices which affects his neighbor's health knowing that he is a senior citizen. |

It is hard to specify an age because things are different from places, beliefs, and conditions. In rich and modern countries maybe most people can easily attain financial stability when they feel the need to be serious with life. When we're young we always think about money while old people value time as gold. There is nothing wrong with enjoying life or saving and living a serious life early. Some people were also born rich and money is not a problem to them.
What is sure to me is we need financial stability when we think about starting a family or having a kid. It's not a choice anymore but it's about being responsible.
It's quite difficult to say what is the right age in being financially stable at this moment because everything is so expensive. If you're a typical individual who's living paycheck to paycheck, you aren't able to achieve the financial stability that you want unless you're having a business or other source of income with double or triple pay than your Primary source of income. Living in this society makes a person become more open to the idea that everyone needs to become financially stable at the young age which it should be. If you really want to retire at the age below 60 years old, You must make a way and do some actions on how you can be a successful individual while you are young. |

You're right there, dude. We just need to use our sources of income for the right expenses, and if we spend something out of the budget that is unexpected, we should also know how to save extra for unexpected expenses like emergency reasons. Now, the question is: what if the source of income is insufficient? How else can you save? It's simple: if you're the resourceful type of person who won't allow you to be short on expenses, you'll find a way to have additional income to sustain other expenses. It's that simple, right? For that to make it possible, making a list of your expenses would be better. By doing that, excluding the unnecessary expenses will be an easy task. Putting the unnecessary expenses to the needs/savings for your investments or emergency reasons Finding additional sources of income or changing careers for a better salary to sustain your daily needs should be the primary option. Having difficulty managing your expenses due to inflation, there's no way for an individual to overcome even if you lessen more of your expenses, other than considering these options. That's one thing that I always did since then and now, having a list of monthly budget is very helpful so that I can track my expenses and to know if I've overspend in some things that is unnecessary, Also I separated my expenses for needs and wants. I opted out buying personal things especially if my budget is limited for basic needs and bills only. I agree with you, to sustain and to balance our needs and wants, Highly recommended to have another source of income or you should upgrade your career with a high salary offer. |

I'd like to ask the community I have a newly moved neighbor he is a widowed senior citizen and he lives alone with a house helper, all his children are now professionals and he is a pensioner, we talked a lot about many things I just noticed that he is very active on online casinos and other gambling activities like lotto and cock fighting every weekend, his children do not know his activities and I'm afraid he is getting addicted.
Should I give him advice on how to manage his gambling activities or I just let him since he is just enjoying his senior years and doing things that he missed doing when he was still young? and what's the right approach, we all know senior citizens are sensitive to criticism.
- I don't think you need to advise him anymore because he is just enjoying his life; he has finished or fulfilled his job as a father to his children. As far as I can see, gambling is just a hobby; just let him do what he wants to do, and I also think that he is satisfied and happy with the life he has reached and for his children as well, in my opinion. Then you know that most senior citizens are sensitive, and do you think they should take gambling seriously? I don't think so. You have a point, You can approach him politely or talked with him about on what he's doing but dont give him an advice if you're not asked for it. Maybe what you supposed to do as a concern neighbor is to check him if he's okay or you can accompany him if he needs someone to talk to, I think playing gambling is one of his coping mechanism because he just misses his children or possible he is sad. You're right, mostly senior citizens is very sensitive in everything that's why i suggest to not interfere in his hobby. Just let him enjoy his retirement life. |

I woke up from such dreams long ago and now I am in the future because my past has taught me never to dine with an old lady who never showed me the road to her home, even though she promised to take me to her palace.
Just being sarcastic anyway, but hey mate never put your trust in gambling because doing so can ruin your life, I have never expected anything outside fun from gambling, I don't know but I believe gambling can never make you rich, or give you a platform that can aid you into filling any dream.
It can make a people rich somehow, as long as you have your own strategy on how to gambling. It can ruin yoir life if you let gambling take over your whole life. We can't deny the fact that there's some individual who became rich because of winning huge value of prize, those are individuals who knows when to stop playing once they hit their targeted winning amount. winning in gambling is considered as pure luck as othery people say but if you accompany it with your own self strategy in playing, possible it may help you how to win and give you a great reward in the end. |

the very first time that i told my parents specifically my father is when I really need help and seeking theirs is my only option before my own family blown up.
I asked Him to help me out as I am an addicted gambler and losing everything each day in gambling , even drowning to debt from one place to another because of continues addiction.
lucky that i managed to get out with the help of my parents and family and now am a proud freshly living .
Telling my parents that I utilized some hours of my working days to place wagers on games, trust me when I say, they would be really mad at me. Ofcourse they would do what they're expected to as any other responsible parents, shouting and giving me advises about th strict negative consequences that follows, for me, I've chosen to remain mute with my activities cornering the gambling system. Addiction is definitely not easy to stop, but with the provided aides from our parents and love ones, quitting can be made easier because we already have in mind and determined to quit notwithstanding the current attributes that follows. I also expect that reaction because that will frustrate them because None of my parents got involved to gambling since they was born , both of them are gambling haters all their life but happy about their reaction when I needed them most , sorry for your parents reaction but I believe that it is a normal reaction because of what we have done. and also it is our obligation to take all their madness because it is not easy to accept what is important that they still helper us out and make us a better person after that. That's an initial reaction of a parent once they know that their child is into gambling. If I am going to be a parent in the future, I think I'll be like that kind of parent that will get mad at first once I know that they're involved in any gambling activities particularly if they are in a young age which is not good for a child to be expose on some kind of activity. Maybe our children will listen to us if we talk to them calmly and explain the pros and cons of gambling properly. Regardless of their age, there still a parents who always think about the welfare of their child. |

Therefore, if we have found another way to overcome gambling addiction, we must also be able to manage it well so that we do not become addicted to other things. We also have to remember that everything in excess is not always good for our bodies or our lives. The important thing is that we can balance everything so that our lives can run well and in balance. We don't need to do things that we feel are difficult to do because we also need to adapt to our abilities to do them, but it is useful for us in overcoming the gambling addiction that we experience. However, when we can start reducing our gambling activities, it is a good sign because our minds are no longer dominated by gambling so we can do other things easily.
And by balancing everything, we can be comfortable in living each day while we are still trying to get rid of the gambling addiction that may still be within us. And with good activity management, we can slowly cure our gambling addiction and we can definitely live a normal life like other people.
I think that's one of the best ways to get rid of a bad addiction, switch it with a good addiction. For example, get that "high" from going out for a run, or creating something. That's a much better use of your limited time on earth than gambling. At the end, it will probably require much more time to have a negative consequence from those positive addictions than gambling. Do you mean cross addiction? I think that's a good idea but you have to know that all excess activity is not good for everyone's physical and mental health, If someone might replace gambling addiction to a good addiction like physical exercise or other thing that has a positive outcome to a person then it's good but there's a tendency that even a good addiction might cause something bad also. Much better if a person will teach how to balance everything so that it can't lead to any obsession. |
