I always sort of thought that if you’re engaging in behavior that you want to keep a secret then you probably shouldn’t be engaging in that behavior. This is especially true with things like gambling. If it isn’t illegal and it isn’t a problem, why wouldn’t you want to share things you enjoy with the people that you care about? Seems suspect.
Sometimes, keeping secrets is not necessarily bad behavior. Keeping secrets will not affect our lives. When we live in an environment where people around us do not like gambling. Gambling openly is not good. As you know, women are troublesome. We cannot share with them the money we lose while gambling. Keeping secrets is necessary in some cases, as long as we know how to control ourselves in this gambling game. Don't let serious consequences happen. When everything comes out, you will be blamed for this secret. Keeping our gambling activities a secret is not a bad thing, by keeping it a secret we will avoid conversations with people who think that gambling is a bad thing in their opinion. If we live in an environment that doesn't like gambling, of course it would be better for us to keep our gambling activities a secret because if they find out, of course this will become a topic of conversation among people around us and this will make us uncomfortable. It will work if you do have a good control and proper management of your time and money, keeping yourself away from the eyes of other people will help you not to engage to any forms of bad-mouthing or negative opinions about things that you are involved with, for sure not many are okay with those negative impression, when someone throw negative opinions most of the time a person will be shy and not wanting to broadcast his participation. based on what you've said, I want to share that I have this kind of mindset that It's better not to let people around you, especially your relative knows that you're into casino or you're participated in any act of gambling because they have the potential to oppose you which leads you to lose your game and to destroy your plans. It's okay to avoid and to keep it from them, especially if you're not asking money on them. Hearing some negative opinions from them about you losing in a gambling will hooked on the idea that gambling can help reinstate any losses incurred, through the process of winning, or simply use the gambling process itself as the great escape from hellish emotion. |

But I want to ask a question. The lady only called off the wedding and continue with the man or she also broke up with the man?
I honestly do not know; she anonymously posted this confession through an account on X (formally twitter) which specializes in giving people the opportunity to confess whatever they are going through and needs advice from other people on what to do. so, the lady shared this because she needed people to advise her on what to do, Majority in the comments did advise her to leave the man, that such a man is not worthy to be married to and called a husband, so whatever be her final decision, I do not know, like I mentioned on the op, I do not know the lady personally. Should have shared the link to this tweet on X, but unfortunately, i have lost the tweet, i was kind of high on alcohol last night while going through the tweet  , didn't even know I saved the screenshot i shared here; on my phone, i was going through my gallery this morning, saw the shot, then remembered and decided to share the story here. I conclude that she confronted her partner and their wedding is no longer to happen. If I were her, I would postpone the wedding and break off the engagement but I also agree with everyone else that this needs to be addressed first before deciding whether to continue the wedding plan or not.. It is very important to know each other's behavior before getting married. There's only one thing that I want to know, Is she aware that her partner is into gambling or not? |

In my country gambling is not an illegal activity, I can tell that the gambling industries are doing well and most of the gambling industries are been owned by the government but it is not openly known to some persons.
The only thing that the government is against is an illegal gambling activity or if found in a very bad place and gamble then the otherwise.
Same in our country, Gambling is not considered as an illegal activity however there are some casino companies that are illegal, they are the ones who don't pay the proper taxes and illegal activities such as human trafficking, selling drugs and prostitution are involved not just the gambling itself... Gambling could be seen as morally acceptable if it helps us to develop positive character traits such as self control and discipline. Those People who see gambling as an illicit activity are the one who always look on it's disadvantages. Even the bible doesn't called gambling as a sin |

Hi guys and ladies, here comes a very sad and heart-breaking story (true life confession) of a young lady who was contributing money (saving money) together with her husband-to-be (fiancée) in preparation for their wedding. The story in quote .. My fiancee and I have been making arrangements for wedding, we are both contributing (saving) money because i know about his financial condition, in fact, i will say that i have contributed to about 60% of the total money in our savings, just for him to use nearly all the 5 million naira (approximately $5000) we saved to play betting and when i asked him about it, he said he was trying not to put all the wedding burden on me, that he thought he would be able to double the money.
I am really speechless and confused, and i think it's best for me to call the wedding off, what will i even tell people that already know about our wedding plans? this is the most disgraceful thing that has ever happened to me.
 Even though i don't know this young lady in question personally, i felt true pity for her after coming across and reading her confession, i know how important weddings are to women and for the fact that she herself joined the man in saving, and even contributed about 60% of the entire funds they managed to save, shows or showed how committed she was to see that their wedding takes place, but unfortunately, the man gambled the money away, what could be more heart breaking than this? This is one of the most horrible story I have ever read, Imagine the excitement and effort of the bride to save money for their wedding, she even contributed 60% of the total savings wherein it should be 50-50 or majority of the expenses supposed to be shouldered by the groom (I know, many of you will disagree on this part but this is my thoughts when it comes to wedding expenses). It's better not to tell it to other family member until she had a serious conversation with her fiancé. I highly suggest her to hold off the wedding until they get these issues sorted out because This is a huge red flag. |

Chasing loss in gambling is not really good because at the end you might loss everything you have. And that is the mindset of many gamblers. They think the their next game will give them what they have loss from the previous game and they loss out again and bet or play again until everything in the pocket or in the wallet is exhausted before their eyes always open to see and the brain open to understand that they wouldn't used all their money for the gambling or they wouldn't chase the loss. chasing loss is not always a favorable thing to do.
I can remember very well that when I started gambling, I do not have control over my somehow addiction gambling. I noticed that if I lost small amount of money and I continue to gamble, I will lose all. Not that I will continue to lose. I will continue to win and lose randomly but after several games played and gambled, the loss will surpass the profit and before I know, all my money would have been exhausted. Chasing loss is a bad idea and very related to gambling addiction and it can happen to beginners gamblers. That's a normal feeling for a newbie, They have no control in their spending and all they know is that there's a chances of hitting big prizes when in fact, there's a thing called beginners luck. It can be a fun and exciting activity at first but it also has a potential to become addictive and lead to negative consequences so it is important to educate yourself about the game and risks involved, always be prepare to lose. |

Sa tagal ng panahong nagtago si Satoshi anong rason bat sya babalik ngayon?
Malamang sa tinagal natin dito sa forum hindi na nakakagulat yang mga ganyang pangyayare kung saan may mga magpapanggap bilang creator ng Bitcoin.
Kung gustong gumawa ng ingay at talagang babalik ang tunay malamang hindi yun sa social media magpapakita kundi sa mga crypto forum okaya ay gagalawin nya ang kanyang wallet.
May possible reason kung bakit hindi nagpapakilala si satoshi nakamoto, Isa sa dahilan ay para mapanatiling secured ang kanyang privacy, knowing him as the creator and holder ng pinaka malaking bilang ng bitcoin kaya if ever man na lumabas sya or dumating yung time na magpapakilala sya, mas malaki ang kasiguraduhan na dito sa forum unang lalabas instead of other social media platforms. Kaya wag din basta bastang maniniwala lalo na't kahit sino pwedeng mag panggap at gumawa ng mga dummy accounts. Mismong yong mga pinaka prominenting tao na nagpanggap na si Satoshi nakamoto eh napatunayan na ng Husgado na Fraud so ano pa kaya yong mga ganitong random people na bigla nalang susulpot at i claim ang pagiging creator ng bitcoin. and tama ka na malamang dito sa forum unang magpaparamdam si Nakamoto instead na kung saan saang social media sites or in other places sa internet. and also tingin ko eh isa si Theymos na mag prepresent or magpapatunay ng legitimacy ng Satoshi Nakamoto dahil malamang eh isa sya sa kokontakin(kung tunay na buhay pa si Satoshi kung di man sila nag uusap na sa ngayon) Naisip ko lang na what if nandito ang totoong Satoshi sa forum, nagbabasa basa using other account no? pero ayun nga, ang hirap ng maniwala sa mga ganyang post and news kasi masyado ng malawak ang mundo ng crypto, ang daming nagpapanggap, gumagawa ng mga clickbaits para pagkakitaan. Hindi din kasi safe na maglantad sa social media si Satoshi, madedetect sya using IP address niya at risky 'yon for his/her safety and privacy. |

Bitcoin lending here in the forum can be a good idea, so far ito lang den ang naiisip kong idea to do a business since yung iba is required ng malaking capital and need magfocus ng attention.
Though you can also try to adopt if meron ka nang existing business, the only risk here is the volatility of the price at syempre yung mga uutang.
Kung lending dito sa forum yung gagawin ni OP, mas okay kasi kahit papano may idea sa cryto yung mga possible borrowers, pero kung physical lending shop at itatayo niya sa community nila, high risk sya kasi hindi naman lahat ay mulat or may idea pagdating sa bitcoin at alam nating paiba iba ang value nito, Mas mabuti din siguro kung idagdag niyang options as mode of payment ang bitcoin kagaya ng isang shop/restaurant sa Boracay, tumatanggap sila ng bitcoin as payment. |

As the gambling industry is evolving, I think innovations would have kicked in that can make someone create a career from gambling. I do not know how this can be achieved but I feel it is possible.
Making gambling a full time job might be seen as risky but I still feel one can make gambling full time job and a career.
What do you all think?
Thinking of making playing gambling a full time job is really not a good advice to anyone who may want to venture into such idea as that may lead to an addiction and may equally lead to heavy lost of once money if care is not taking. Get a skills that will help render services and in return you will get paid for your service. Taking playing gambling as a fun will make you enjoy playing gambling, and you may be lucky one day and make huge amount of money from playing gambling but not to take it as a full time job. your suggestion is very reasonable and I fully support your idea that gambling might give us a big win if we are lucky, but still think of it as just entertainment, not a job to earn a daily income because the risk of losing is much greater than winning ideas like this are very good but too many gamblers ignore this problem so that many gamblers fail to control themselves and become addicted just because they want to earn income from gambling and previously I also gave advice to anyone if they want to earn income from gambling it would be better to bookies or increase talent to become influencers or share referrals and it is more reasonable and safer to earn income from gambling. Gambling might give us a big chance of winning as well as having a big chance of losing. Considering it as a full time job is a big NO. Making money as a professional gambler is feasible but it is not easy because there are a lot of things that you need to learn and avoid. Others will say that this is their primary source of income but do you think It's right? I mean, It is not a reliable way of earning money, unless you are one of the casino dealers or Influencers/Freelancers who advertise gambling on different social media sites. |

A couple of my friends have a slot game that they play together. This does not affect their relationship, on the contrary, I can say that when they lose, they lose with fun. When they are going to put money on the site, they all put up a capital together and take turns playing. If I give an example, 5 friends and each of them puts 100 dollars. This is 500 dollars in total and they enter the slot game with 500 dollars. Although they don't have an exact figure in their heads, if there is 2000 dollars, they play with the idea that if we take our money and let's split it. When this happens, the loss is everyone's loss and the gain is everyone's gain. There are also methods that do not affect friendships in such a way. Because they know this risk themselves and provide an investment accordingly.
There is no issue about it if they both understand and make fun of gambling. But this is a different story between husband and wife (and family) as usually they have been affected by this. Some family breakups have some common problem and issue which is finance --and one reason is one of the family members has been into gambling addiction which causes financial problems. If ever our partner doesn't support our gambling habits/addiction, I would say that don't ever attempt to do this because will be the start of family problems and misunderstanding which leads to broken relationships and breakups. If they have similar views on gambling, it will be easier to understand each other, of course they can gamble simultaneously. Yes, you are right, I have also seen many husband and wife relationships destroyed because a husband does not give the money they earn for their household needs, the husband spends a lot of money on gambling and this will of course lead to separation. Even if they have similar views about gambling or a partner is both open to gambling, it still could affect their relationship as it affects their lives. I witness many relationships, not just those between husband and wife, but even friendships. Because of gambling, one of your friends could become greedy in terms of money. I remember seeing a topic here in the gambling section where, because of gambling, one of their friends started avoiding them as that friend won a game. Which shows how a person can show his true nature just because of money. Gambling exists and is valuable because of money. Even in gambling, money could become a root cost for many crimes and affect any relationship, but that's reality. We are all hungry for money, and we are all circled around money. As with gambling, gambling could affect many things, even a solid and pure relationship. Just because you and your partner have the same perspective on gambling, doesn't mean your relationship wouldn't be affected. Same with you, I have seen so many cases of gambling addiction which caused having a broken family, and some of the factors that lead to separation Included the loss of trust, emotional disconnection, and the presence of abuse. It is crucial to address gambling-related issues to protect and preserve relationships, encourage responsible gambling, and ensure that individuals affected by gambling addiction receive the help and support they need. |

I suggest to cash out your capital and at least 10% of your profit then keep the remaining amount so it could be used on your next game. do not be greedy, Just set a certain limit on yourself once you win and follow your momentum in playing but once you hit the jackpot prize, You can withdraw it all and then allocate the winning prize to your savings and investment. keep a small portion for your leisure and budget for gambling.
I use this method. I don't do percentages I just see to myself that I would leave this amount of money and use it to gamble some other time while I will draw the remainder. That way even if the one left in the casino wallet doesn't win me more money, I will be at rest knowing that there are no "what ifs". Yeah, glad that you're doing that kind of method when it comes to gambling, Setting a target profit goal will help you to prevent from getting too greedy and turning your wins into losses. Heading into a casino intoxicated and with no limits on what you are spending might result big losses so you should be extra careful. cashing out takes guts because sometimes you'll make a decent profit or win but the other times, you need to survive to fight another day. |

In fact, all the time one of the lottery participants repeats some of the same numbers and their sequences, for example, the date of one’s birth, this can be regarded as superstition. But many people treat such superstition as a magic number that once was something memorable and significant for them. And they constantly write the same numbers, believing that the probability of winning again from such a lucky number is higher. But it is clear that this is not at all the case. But still, most lottery players, it seems to me, still choose numbers quite randomly. By the way, it’s interesting how these random numbers come to a person’s head, why are they exactly like that? When it comes to repeating numbers, I have a real-life experience with that, one of my relatives plays the lottery on a daily basis. Just like what others do, she bet on the same number for almost 20 years I guess? those numbers came from her dream and believes that those are her lucky numbers but she never wins a single penny. I think, winning in the lottery is just pure luck because it doesn't require any gambling experience as long as you have money to buy tickets. Some people pick random numbers based on their birthdays, important dates of events, and based on their instincts. My father used to play that way too: he had some lucky numbers he always bet on, as they were magical (in fact, one of them was the "magical" one, while others, multiples of it or containing it, were interchangeable). As you very well said, it has to do with superstition. It makes no logical sense, but we still hear news from time to time about winners who played always the same numbers and eventually won (of course: if they didn't win there would be no news to talk about). Those winners that we hear in the news are very lucky because having more money means greater financial security. Others might say that money doesn’t create happiness on its own but it allows you to do things that generate life satisfaction like helping others, paying for rewarding experiences, and having higher-quality leisure time. How I wish we win the lottery someday. |

If they are newbies, they should avoid trading when starting, they will lose money because they do not have experience and knowledge, investing will be more suitable for them. But if someone has knowledge about the market and wants to try trading, they can also start because it is also one of the methods of making profits in this market.
There are many people who have been making profits from trading, it is not as bad as many people have experienced. So, I find it quite funny that many people don't like trading just because they can't make a profit from it. What's worse is that they are giving advice to others to stay away from trading just because they are not making profits. They think everyone will be like them, LOL.
Actually, if beginners want to trade, that's okay, but they have to learn how to trade properly and correctly. Most beginners rely on information from their friends who often trade, even though that doesn't guarantee they can make a profit. But if they can learn trading analysis, they can trade according to their abilities and also the more often they learn they can adapt to what is happening in the market. Those who stay away from trading because they often experience losses should be able to realize that trading is not as easy as they think. They must have good market analysis skills so they can find the coins. Or if they want to trade bitcoin, they need to be able to know when they can enter and exit the market. ' I can say that both a good things to do but I don't think trading is beginner-friendly since it requires knowledge and at least minimum experience, I suggest that before you enter trading you should know how to act and how to control intense emotions, you should create a comprehensive trading plan, and lastly never stop learning. Investing in bitcoin usually means buying BTC for long-term holdings while trading is buying and selling the bitcoin in the short term whenever they think a profit can be made. if you want to be successful at trading, you’ll have to put in a significant amount of time and money to acquire the relevant skills, just like any other venture. |

Till now my parents are bearing the cost of my education, I have recently completed my college education and my parents wish me to complete my graduation by studying in a private university. We have a small cow farm and we have some cows in this farm out of which some months ago my father sold one cow and deposited about one and a half thousand dollars (I said the value in dollars for everyone's understanding) in the bank for my education. It will take about four to five months to get admission in the university. I didn't plan to do anything with the money I saved for my education but recently the price of bitcoin has increased by about 10 thousand dollars and seeing this increase I think that I should invest in bitcoin now instead of leaving the money in the bank for these four to five months. Although I think it's a bit late for me to invest. Maybe I should have invested when Bitcoin was 26 thousand dollars then maybe I could have made a good profit at this point but there is no point in regretting what I didn't do Of course I will think about the present now. I think the price of bitcoin can cross 40 thousand dollars so investing in bitcoin now will not be a wrong decision for me at all.
Investing your money in bitcoin is risky since we are aware that the value of BTC is unpredictable and unstable, you should carefully review your risk tolerance before you invest. Before you consider Bitcoin as an investment, you should consider carefully your own goals and determine what you want to accomplish. It's better to finish your study first and if you have extra money for BTC then invest it, don't let yourself run out of money. it's better to have savings and investments at the same time, and learn how to diversify. |

1 Bitcoin = $34,068.52 / 1,936,036.43 Php I'm from the Philippines and having 1 Bitcoin makes you a millionaire. Having 1 Bitcoin can make you purchase a house or a small business like a mini-mart, a business that is really popular here in our country.   |

What I can say to people who don't have enough money but still continue to gamble, I don't think it's entertainment for them anymore, they seem to think that gambling money is easier as long as they win.
We wouldn't blame most people who gambles with the little money they have, perhaps they could be looking for a way to have there money multiply instead of just using the money for something were as they have no other means of getting it back, so most of them will use the little money they have and gamble with the believe that they will make some winings and from there they can be able to diversify some of the money to other things. So gambling without enough money is totally depends on the gamblers motive either to try if he could be able to top the money by wining or the ignorance caused by addition to continue gambling even if it cost them everything. Yes, we can't blame those who still want to gamble, whatever their reasons, because it is their money that they can use for anything. But they should think long before deciding to use gambling as entertainment or a place to make money because gambling has negative influences many people have felt. If they can keep themselves from being affected by those negative influences, they will be fine, and nothing will happen to them. But if not, they will experience one by one that will become bigger, so they will not be able to see it because they can become addicted to gambling if they do not have clear boundaries in gambling. And because many people are addicted to gambling, they must always be careful when gambling so that they can avoid its negative effects. It really up's to them, having a little money and using it to gambling would be a complicated thing, Reasons is they want to multiply their money and hoping to win but sometimes it not goes along the way they really wanted. Gamblers should think what will going to happen if they lose the money that they have, It's not about being a negative but you have to think first before you decide. Setting a boundaries and self control is a must. You can't rely gambling as a main source of your income simply because it's not supposed to be treated like that. It can be a passive income and for entertainment purpose only. |

The Woman getting equal chances in all the field,the woman involvement to the gambling was more compared to the last year.Before the woman was against the gambling because of the ancient rules followed by the society.After the civilisation of most of the countries,the woman get to know it’s just the convective words to make them separate from the gambling.Personally my opinion was woman was keep away from the gambling because the male already in the gambling.So both the family member in the gambling means,surely their child will not get the enough care from the both parents.So the family will be divided,it my be the reason.
Online casinos can have an impact on increasing the statistics of women's involvement in online gambling because they can be accessed anytime and anywhere. I received information that some women are already addicted to gambling and some other women do not mind if their husbands are involved in gambling. A surprising fact for me even though I understand that there will be drastic changes in the era of digitalization. However, cases of gambling addiction in women and men will be very different, women are very calculating and do not have high losses in gambling. Yeah right, online gambling really has that big impact in terms of women's involvement with gambling, with an easy access using any available device that can connect the internet, and with the convenient and comfort for sure we may hear women who got attracted and already deals with gambling. Those who wanted to keep their participation discreet, it's the best venue for them to play and enjoy being entertained by this venue of business. Nowadays, there's no gender differences when it comes to gambling, and most of the time there's a lot of women who's actively participated in this kind of game. As you can see, some marketing strategies via social media is advertised by some popular women influencers which I know has a big impact in gambling society. We all know that some stay in wife had spare time when they've done in their chores and possible that they can gambling through their mobile devices as a part of entertainment and also having the possibility to win. |

Since I only play on lottery games in an outlet, I have never experience something like that before but if by any chance had to play such game I think winning ×5 would be enough. If I lose ×3 that would be my limit and I had to take a break and then return another day.
Good for you for having that kind of self-control, Also if you want to consider playing in a casino, always set a time limit, enough budget, and have a goal in mind. It's quite difficult to leave while you're ahead because you want to avoid losing your winnings, I advise that once you win big, cash out and leave because there's a chance that casinos will want to keep you playing after you win so that they have a chance to win their money back. This is an individual decision, knowing when to walk away is the hardest part for most people. |

If someone holds 1 bitcoin in 2023, can he call himself rich ? If not, how many bitcoins holding is equal to being rich in your opinion ?
It depends on which country you come from. The value of 1 BTC to our country is worth a Million and having a million in your bank is enough to live a comfortable life but much better if you allocate your money to different types of investment and build your own business so that you can earn more because the inflation rate in our country is not a joke, everything is so expensive nowadays. You can consider yourself "rich" as long as you know how to manage that 1 BTC that you have, remember that bitcoin has the potential to pump and dump its price so much safer if you hold half of it and the remaining will be used to your personal investment and business. |

Sobrang kawawa talaga, karamihan pala ng mga nascam niya puro OFW. Grabe, tapos tinakbuhan niya yung mga OFW alam ko naging OFW din to dati kung hindi ako nagkakamali so panigurado alam na alam niya yung hirap ng mga OFW dahil na experience niya ito. Alam niyang hindi birong mawalay sa pamilya para magtrabaho sa ibang bansa, alam natin na maraming racism at tingin sayo sobrang baba kasi pinoy ka. At sang-ayon din ako sayo na naging signal niya si raffy tulfo para umalis at makataas agad. Hoping lang na mabalik yung mga pera ng mga tao at harapin ni Yexel to. May pambayad naman siguro to kasi sobrang daming niya toy collection. ganyan Talaga ang mga scammer, lalo na kung intension Talaga nilang manloko, kayang kaya nilang sikmurain mga pangloloko nila sa ibang tao. Nakaka awa lang dahil mostly talaga ng victims ay OFW gamit ang mga hard earned money nila. Ang hirap lang din kasi sa mga pinoy nagyon, Konting problema or kapag may mga ganyang legal issues, kay RTIA agad lumalapit wherein fact pwedeng pwede naman ng magsampa ng kaso lalo na kung may hawak na solid proof and evidences. Maging lesson nadin ito sa mga kapwa natin na hndi dahil sikat, kilala at may millio followers sa social media ay mapapagkatiwalaan na. |

We often hear the word rich, and our immediate thought is money. However, I know for others, being rich goes beyond just financial wealth. For me, and I'm sure you won't deny it, it's about having a substantial amount of money or owning numerous assets and enough money to meet basic needs and desires. As a parent, having enough money to provide for my children's necessities like food, clothing, and shelter, as well as the ability to send them to good schools, is crucial.
I believe that financial security, the ability to afford a comfortable lifestyle, and the freedom to live life to the fullest are essential aspects that bring joy and fulfillment.
Thumbs up for this one. The first thing that comes to our mind when we hear the word "rich" is all about having lots of money and I agree with that, for me, it should be being financially secure, meaning you have an investment, some business, asset and also if you're not living paycheck to paycheck. having a large income doesn't mean you're rich, especially if you're living paycheck-to-paycheck. You may consider yourself a rich person when you can afford to have a lifestyle that you want without needing a job when you are your own boss and not beholden to an employer, and when you're free to do what you want. One thing that I also consider being rich is having good health, a comfortable life, and stable mental health. |
