In most countries, loans are given to farmers for fertilizer, irrigation etc. The problem countries face today, farmers are reducing. Could be due to diminishing return, consumers now focus on specific farm produce and neglect others. Some good foods doesn't make it to our dinning tables, because farmers stopped farming them as they don't tend to sell it after harvest. Hence, the food shortage is from the side of consumers. In my country, a lot of people feed on at least 6 different kinds of food. Neglecting hundreds other foods. Farmers can't continue planting neglected foods. It's true, land pollution has affected farmers in some regions where specific foods germinate. Yet, the agricultural sector will always do anything within their power to provide those foods if people needed them. When demand is less, production will be high and price cheap, so that consumers can buy. Unless farmers who love planting those special crops, a lot of farmers don't go for crops that won't yield them lots of profits. The market is not only influenced by the farmer, but consumers too, even the price is also controlled by consumers. Many espensive foods, are like that because consumers are much. And the more farmers focus on producing those food, they'll be a diminishing return, therefore skyrocketing the price of such food. As demand is high, which has caused caused the reduction of the production rate. Consumers can reduce the price of any food, by not purchasing the anymore.

Visionary leaders are expected to be good CEOs, but not all would become one, due to individual differences. A leaders works with his team to build a company and doesn't stop easily on an idea because of his thoughts and visions. Working with such a person is tiring, as they hardly succumb to new ideas from team members or co workers. Like in the example of Steve Jobs stated on the thread. He has the ideas and sees before hand what the outcome of the project would be, and workers always try to chime into what they don't understand, in form of correcting the CEO. Don't know if you've managed people, one of the hardest duty in any business. Therefore, in the process of being ignored by the visionary, they tend not to work peacefully, but keep up stressing themselves, convincing the leader to do things their own way (the team member's) or the method applied by the society. I think it's one of the problems workers do have with such leaders, and they forget that this person owns the business and invited them to work alongside him in achieving the goal, not changing his vision. Also, somebody like Fords, had a vision outside the original method of manufacturing cars. He had multiple disagreements with the engineers due to numerous errors, yet he continued until he achieved what he wanted. When you try to do different things, those close to you or team mates will be your greatest problems. They don't want to be part of a project that'll be a complete failure. Visionary leaders careless about their opinions. Not that they're not good CEO, the vision shouldn't be altered.

Gambling is still for everyone to play and enjoy. Winning can only differ according to bank rolls. Like OP stated, the rich players have more winning big opportunities by wagering huge amounts, but it doesn't stop a low roller from winning big, also, at some point. Saying the wealthy gambler is the only player eligible to gamble, makes little meaning in the context and meaning of gambling. We are not supposed to play with huge amount, unless it's a spare cash. Those rich players won't feel it or wouldn't bother losing a huge amount of money after staking huge money in gambling. In gambling anybody can be lucky, both the rich and poor. Few questions that should be monitored in threads like this, are, if a small roller wins big, is he rich? or if the rich player losses all he's got in gambling would he been seen as poor? And we are certain gambling is capable of rending rich players into going broke and vice versa. Hence, everyone engaging in gambling, whether rich or poor should stay careful with the decisions they make. Not just listening to such advises, saying it's only for rich and lucky. It's not enough for any gambler to think that way. Being rich doesn't guarantee, becoming a successful gambler. Same way for the low rollers. These are just some individual understandings and nobody is seen as correct or wrong. For any response or opinion, belongs to OP, and saying he's wrong or right, makes me wrong. In my opinion, players should mind their gambling strategies, goals and ethic, then play according as planned. Regardless of being rich, average, or below average.

Yes, reading reviews and asking question is better off, than testing waters with funds. Some aspects of the casino, will be ok, definitely, while other sides of it won't. Without reading the reviews, we won't be able to detect those malfunctioning aspects of the casino. This forum is great for some casinos listed in the Ann section of the gambling board. But, other larger gambling communities still serve a better purpose. Unlike the forum, where every casino we see use crypto as a payment method. The ads we see pop up in our screen, may not have a cryptocurrency payment system, hence, finding such casinos here will be difficult. I'd prefer reading random review sites and the comments of players using the casino, matters. Once, I notice the casino is fresh or new, it's always a red flag. A quality casino must have withstood the test of time. So, more reviews would be made available for new customers to read. And problems users have encountered with the casino and how the casino resolved the dispute also helps in convincing a potential customer to deposit funds.

It's all for promotional purposes, and believing them is unwise. The only way we should follow these streamers is by watching them play. Fine, if we can learn through their strategies. They play those games for the marketing of the casino. Viewers join the casino believing that they'll win like the streamer, along the line they'll get disappointed and lose out all they've wagered. That's where the confusion begin to emerge. And players begin to wonder if the casino manipulate those wins they see on streaming channels. It's certain and proven by streamers that those casinos pay them whooping amount in USD to stream games, due to multitude of views they get. Those viewers become too inquisitive that, they forget to do the necessary required research, before playing games on the casino. The whole process of viewing streamers gamble, isn't favorable anymore. Newbies are being milked, and the market is still growing. Therefore, more people would still fall for this kind of marketing. It's not bad on the side of the casino, to pay for marketing. But, viewers should be wise enough to choose the right casino, instead of jumping on any casino, fresh, to be precise, because it's been promoted by a streamer. Questions about manipulated results, is as a result of players having in mind that gambling would yield them easy wealth, like the streamers. So, when they try it out to no avail, they get disapointed and begin jeering about the rigged system, being in favor of streamers. 

I've noticed this, and they have higher chances of winning big in sport betting. Take for instance, celebrities who wager about $1million in a single game to double their earning. That's really a fast method to win close to another 1 million dollars, just in a single game. But those with little funds, can't achieve it, without staking on 100 games. Even in slot games the bigger the wager the better the chances of winning a huge amount in return. However, the rich gambler still have to be smart and skillful, in regards to gambling. Not all of them would be wise enough to make meaningful predictions, thereby risking their money. Gambling is still risky for both parties if they don't follow specific strategies that works. If the gambler with lesser amount of money, works according to his budget, he'll still win good amount of money, but won't be as big as the high rollers returns. Yet in OP's question, it'll be hard to determine who wins more in a roll. Aside in amount of money. I mean individually wins per bet, the low roller can be seeing more wins, just that it won't be huge amount.

I've read multiple models of bankroll management and the two I feel interested on are flat betting and confidence model. Flat betting, is having a unit that you'll stake for long without changing the amount all through, the time set out for gambling that day. Most professional gamblers follow this method. And it's one of the best method in managing bank roll, thereby reducing the amount we spend, whether win or lose. Also maximizing profit, although the amount we choose should be little, hence the expected profits is to be small. Some gamblers won't like this model, except their aim is to enjoy the game, only. Another good model, which I like, is confidence betting model. Maintaining the flat betting model, but wagering huge amount of money when the player gets comfortable. So, in this model, it's too cool to say that the gambler won't lose out his bank roll. But if he gets too confident on wagering huge amount, he'll be mismanaging his funds. The first one, is preferable, but mixing the both without abusing it won't affect any gambler's bank roll. Op should do more research on the models for managing bank rolls. He'd learn different strategies. This article is very helpful for every gambler who is confused about managing their bank roll.

The rules he needs to abide by as a beginner gambler are; self control, money management and risk management. It could be rules or skills, he requires some of it to beat greediness. Less informed gamblers tend to be newbies. And primary advise or insight they have about gambling is centered on money making. Which leads them to make their first mistake as gamblers. The lucky day as you said, could be confusing to them and they'll make another mistake of believing in such terms by not taking profits. Therefore, still losing out on the funds they won. Don't understand the kind of success, you think gambling would bring for Op, is it wealth or intelligent wise. The later can be true, but the first mentioned, isn't for everyone. The casino calculates how they circulate jackpots, which most new players can't comprehend; house edge. A system that monitors or structures the total percentage of wins available for the player. The rest of the percentage is on the side of the casino. Hence, more of fun, less of wins on the player's end. Following an advise that gambling would yield him more wealth, can endanger him into addiction. Also jeopardizing the fun, made available for gamblers. I think new gamblers should start by wagering small amount of money, limiting their daily bank expenses, and keep cards away during gambling. To stay on a safe zone, they can talk to close friends about their new gambling habit. So, it won't be new to family, when he's not getting it right. Friends he talked to, can easily be of aid, in terms of mistakes and addiction.

How do you intend to do it when they're far from you? He's been tagged an irresponsible gambler, helping him with money can be risky, yet it can be life changing. It's not certain he won't gamble with the money like you said. On our side as friends or family member we'll be brooding over his actions or what he'll say about us. Most times it's not easy to neglect loved ones, even when we are sure of their bad attitude or behavior. It hurts to plunder about the struggle they're into, while we help with funds, or don't help. Whatever, the action we take on them, that's not regarding their welbeing or saving them from such a condition, won't be enough. Every family tend to have a person like that; gambling or drug addict. It's the responsibility of the family to look into different therapy to cure them. And negligence worsen their conditions, and if the family isn't comfortable with him anymore, then the society won't as well. That's a pollution to the entire wealth of the society. As he'll be unknowingly wasting funds, he'd use on other utilities, on gambling. Your idea is valid, if he's close, taking care of the expenses on his behalf can leave him only battling over becoming a better person, and restrict him from gambling at the moment. Then following up with a team work on ways to eliminate his trouble. The process matters, but within you, it'll worth it once he's fine. After that, you'd understand the huge mental disorder he was passing through. Which won't give you a reason to blame addicts, when they mishandle funds and act differently. I was once against helping addicts, both financially and otherwise, until a close friend went through and survived addiction. He told me about what he's been through. The whole stress and heartbreak isn't simple to fight, alone.

Quite so, the kids can hear such discussion anywhere. The training we render the kids is what matters. It's easy to caution the kids not to be in an environment where gambling is discussed. In disciplining kids, be strict. They'll comply. Confronting the adults, can relieve the discussion for a short moment, until they start such discussion again. But, being serious about the kids, can stop or restrict them from gambling. And anyone around one found listening to gambling discussion can be reported by a fellow kid to their parent, OP. Thereby keeping the children safe and being monitored by an eldest child amongst the children. Taking actions on the gamblers and leaving the kids unsanctioned, solves no problem. As they'll have a myopic view of the impact of such discussion in their life, when they get to adulthood. The society is getting too careless on kids, and we must triple our guards on the innocent kids around us. Though it's not an easy start, but a good beginning can yield nice results on the long run. It's natural for kids to completely trust their parents more than strangers. Due to lack of attention, from the parent side, these kids begin to trust people around, more than their parent.

I noticed twitch ban these gambling streamers, I think I've watched few streamer offer $10 for viewing their stream session. Didn't participate though, but somehow the casino happened to be a new business looking at fetching new customers through a streamer. The process of streaming casinos, are being abused by the streamers by the illustration described on your response. Soon, gamblers will be iconoclastic of these streamers claiming to be casino imperials and yet lose out on people's well and truly earnt money. With the huge traffic and followers they're fetching for the casino, if the streamers maintained fair business acumen of working directly with the casino, and didn't bother about viewers funds, things would be moving fine in the industry. The future repercussions of such a humorless attitude of the gambling streamers can affect the streaming business. Players who enjoyed their games, are beginning to jeer at the streamers over their funds. With many more withdrawing or quitting from such activities. I don't seem to grasp why people engage in their crowdfunded inclined streams. It's time they have learnt from the mistakes of others, but don't blame the system, as millions of naive gamblers, everyday, join for the first time. Hence, they won't run out of business. Yet!

The trust for a fresh casino, that popped up on your screen, shouldn't be immediately. It's good to test the depth of a river before swimming. Next time, check through reviews on top gambling review sites, instead of depositing money and withdrawing. Crosschecking on the withdrawal, customer service, provably fair is also important. Because withdrawal works fine, doesn't make the casino cool, they may be having some loopholes elsewhere. Which you'd not notice as a first timer. Reading reviews will reveal every necessary information about the casino. There, under the comments, users are allowed to share any experience; good and heinous. Newbies, it's great to look into the idea of OP. He's actually did the right thing for players looking to risk $5. For players who don't wish to lose a dime to any casino, wants to make their first deposit on a trusted casino, no need trying a pop ad. Some players can make a mistake alongside, maybe it works the first time, and once they deposit huge amount the casino can begin to malfunction. Even in review sites, fresh casinos shouldn't be trusted, not even a dime of ours should be used to test their services. Doing our research won't cost us a dime. Then, moving ahead to deposit funds and play games with no trust issue, is still great. Op's idea can always leave us thinking of other risks, perhaps we ain't carefully informed about the services of the casino. The disputes they've faced with customers.

The journey of curing addiction doesn't begin with the addicted person alone. You can begin by engaging the player with few questions, regarding his strange behavior. Because most gambling addicts, don't feel comfortable opening up to friends who don't show concern. It's important to observe the attitude of your friends. The process doesn't require force, they need help, so forcing them will only give reasons to avoid you. Keeping in touch with gambling friends can be done socially, inviting them to fun activities, as a way of distracting the addicted person from gambling. At some point he'll confide in you and decide to share his story. Waiting for him to make the first move, without your effort, isn't effective. You can wait forever, and when it gets delayed, your friend's addiction can worsen. If you notice, everyone wants to live a promising life, that's why when addicts associate with friends, or family, they still claim to be fine. While alone the depression eats them up and cause more havoc to their brain. Its heartbreaking for parents to discover such problem from their ward. Especially, when they don't understand how their wealth has been misused by their wards. 

He was offered a free fun, but players refuse to acknowledge or enjoy the fun. Because their aim is to make money. It's impossible to earn money using 70 free spins to hit the required amount for withdrawal. In such situations, Op is meant to be happy he played using free spin. The money is secondary, funny the $55 wasn't withdraw-able. The fun been has missed, or the losses made it incomplete. 


Slot games are fun, and can be used to generate more profits in gambling. Only players who don't study the strategies required in slot game would think it's not worth. Definitely, the jackpot comes ones in a while, but requires consistency. Some slots can give two jackpots in roll subsequently in a while. I noticed gamblers prefer games like poker or sports games, that can be under their control or analysis.

Some countries restricts crypto, hence crypto gambling won't be allowed. But, any country where crypto is allowed, citizens from the country can participate in crypto gambling. But, they'll have to submit their KYC. It's now a must for every casino under the law to require KYC. So, I can't say for sure if there's any need for having the best country, where KYC can be bypassed or for crypto gambling. Unless country based online casinos, that refuses to comply to KYC, and made their casino accessible to citizens of their country. Yet, I've not seen such a casino. You can elaborate more on the base of your question.

Do you trust that DNA can affect a person without any actions from the family? These behaviors are passed down to the kids through discussions, like OP's case. A child that's not exposed into gambling won't begin gambling just because his grandfather was a gambler. A catalyst must be added in the child's life, that'll push him into gambling activities, growing up. Kids tend to learn from their society; where they grew up. A child with parents or relatives that disdain gambling activities won't have any reason to venture into gambling, despite having a DNA of a gambler. I'm saying this because in psycho therapy, family rules matters, a child follows rules according to his family's love and hate for a specific thing or action. Children in environments where gambling are discussed, will think it's a normal rule of life to gamble. Hence, the problem with society why we have well trained children living a different life outside their family rules is peers association. They can influence themselves, if a child from a home where gambling is seen as a normal activity meets another child with hate for gambling, one person can be influenced. Hence the confusion sets in, and parents can conclude that something is beginning to change about the life of their child. So, the problem doesn't get solved completely by disassociating the kids from the gamblers. It requires strong self discipline for a child to be the influencer, and not the influenced. That's where your point of teaching our kids and guiding them on appropriate lifestyles, gets valid. Those kids won't remain in that compound forever, they also attend schools. To be on a safe side, closely monitoring our kids after school and asking them relevant questions is quite necessary. Through, their answers and behavior, parents can determine if their child is having a bad influence.

The gambling niche demands unique strategies, and participants must utilize ideas as it suites them. Generally, money management and discipline is the key to responsible gambling. Placing a paper on the computer screen, as a remembrance, may have been the right thing for OP, not to be carried away. Gambling works in a way that winning can lead us to think out of our discipline. So, when chasing losses the piece of paper can help the player to recall that he's about making some gambling mistakes, which can ruin his bank roll. Although, not every gambling would let this strategy work for them, as their individual family rules differs. People act according to the home they were trained. Therefore, we shouldn't expect advise or strategies such as this to be reasonable to every gambler. Personally, I don't think of doing it, despite being a good idea. Those who completely trust in such strategy, can give it a try and share the results. A player who already controls his finance, don't require reminder to stop gambling. The little balance he's got will forcefully stop him, when it's exhausted. Which strategy, remains the best for gamblers. As abundance of money in our balance, is the primary reason gamblers get swayed of their initially discipline to stop at a specific moment. Or when they get a significant win.

The recovery process is quite difficult for the addicted person. And because they need to hide it from the society, they end up swimming in the pool of addiction. The condemnations they get from people, when they try to show the world their problems, keeps them in depression. Friends and family careless about the problems this addicts go through, that's why it's hard to survive such a problem. In the process of trying to show the society the aspect they want to see. The gambler's addiction will be left untreated. Thereby exposing the player to bigger risks of addiction. Right, even when the money is given to them, they won't know what next to do, other than gambling. Why then do people blame them, if we can think deeply, it's common to understand that these things ain't done outrightly. The hidden processes that led to the bad behavior, grew out of the fear of what people would say. After discovering that they're now addicted to gambling, the brain would deceive them not to open up, that they can settle it on their own.

You forget that smoking causes both physical and mental problems. Trying to differentiate physical and mental problem isn't possible because they both work cheek by jowls in running the body system. The brain helps the functionalities of the body and vice versa. An injured person can't think straight forward, due to pains. Same for a mentally disabled person. He can hurt his body and also feel disheartened. None is good for any human or better than the other problem. What is important, is reducing the high rate of mentally disabled people in the society, especially, those caused by gambling. As the number of gamblers increase a lot in the society. In addition, any form of illness officially mandates lots of money, not minding the type of illness. Saying the government should focus more on physically ill people over mentally ill citizens, isn't completely proper. The only abstract thing in both affected corporeality, is that mentally ill person; addicted gambler can stay unnoticed. Hence, making the process of tracing him difficult by the government. Unlike a physically ill person, that must be noticed immediately by everyone around them. Addiction takes time before society realizes the problem of the gamblers. I don't think anything, should be the reason why one side of the party won't be helped by the government. So, if the government use the money generated via gambling to tackle addicts and then tobacco money for affected smokers.  

Hardly can you solve problems these days aggressively. The elderly people will feel harried, due to the hard thoughts of leaving a house, where to go, etc. When solving a problem, endeavor to amicably settle dispute for both parties to remain friends. If Op applies your haughty advise, the chaos can lead the older people to a heartbreak. First they need to be told, about the future impact of their discussion on the kids. Only a feeble-minded person will drive his relatives, neighbors or whoever they're to OP, away without prior warning. You've got nice decision, anything is worth it for the safety of those kids, but they're stages to every action. The two above can be applied when they're too stubborn and doesn't want to stop despite being warned by the OP. Remember freedom of speech. They didn't bully the kids. The old people only are having such discussions, ignorantly. Not everybody is privileged to be as intelligent as you're regarding the effects of discussing about gambling around kids. What if these kids hear similar conversations amongst school peers, without Op's knowledge, he'll be helpless. He should be thankful he's aware of the occurrence of such an open discussions. The aim is to change both the adults and the kids, hence it's crucial to be rational whenever we are hurt and wish to make decisions. Dialogue solves lots of problems, not even daffy behaviors of those elderly people can be exempted. Aggression, worsen issues, and we end up achieving grief, hatred and harebrained results.
