I think it is definitely easier for a gamer to succumb to gambling due to the nature of gaming itself.

Nowadays, tons of online games have introduced different payment schemes for the gaming company. Some games have "loot boxes" where you get the chance of a specific and overpowered item at a given rate. With this in mind, a gamer would most likely spend money getting that >1% item drop with cash cash as the main currency for it. With this in mind, gamers are technically gambling but behind a smokescreen of gaming.

That is why, I definitely believe that a gamer has all the chances of becoming a gambler.

First of all, the title is very misleading as the contents of your post are irrelevant to the subject.

Second, Bitsler did not "take away" your money from you- you have the discretion and choice to gamble upon knowing all the necessary and consequences that follow with such decision. Online gambling websites will not steal nor get money from you at any cost- you wager them with the risks and embrace the consequences of either winning or losing in the process.

At the end of the day, you cannot blame your own decisions to gambling websites. You must be fully aware that your decision follows all the risks that are associated with it.

I think one important factor to indicate is that the stock market is heavily regulated- where you can only trade at specific hours and tax becomes a factor to your earnings. Whereas in BTC, the latter is more volatile and no government or any entity has absolute and full control over its supply. While whales do exist in order to manipulate the price, it isn't as destructive when large conglomerates decide to manipulate the prices in stock market, thereby creating this "inside trading" scheme.

Though BTC has been in the bear market for a while, remember that the halving will happen in 2024, which is relatively near. Stock up your BTCs and HODL for long-term for maximum profit and gains.

Everything and everyone has to start from somewhere. I remember reading this quote where it stated that "In order for you to be good at something, you must suck at it first." Do not be ashamed from starting all over again from scratch and being a beginner- every veteran and crypto enthusiast was once a beginner!

Experience will always be the best teacher along the way. No matter how many times you read books about cryptocurrencies, experience will teach you something that just cannot be learned from reading. In addition, it is one of the most effective ways of personally experiencing cryptocurrencies.

McDonald's is one of those fast food chains that is well-known at least around the world. I remember, I read an article where people recognize the sign of Mcdonald's more ("M" symbol) than Jesus Christ¹. The fact that one of the largest fast food chain accepts BTC as a form of payment is big. I hope that this kind of implementation would spread across countries, subject to the confirmation of the countries' government.

The more people discover about BTC, the more people that would use it, thereby making it more beneficial in the long-run.

Is there any ounce of possibility that this can be rigged? Though the pattern combination of the lotto numbers were all divisible by 9, this somehow can potentially happen especially if some people stick to a designated pattern of betting numbers. It just so happened that the numbers that fell were all divisible by 9.

Again, the chances of this happening is just significantly and statistically low but the odds are the odds! No matter how low the chances of winning are, the fact that there is that "chance" of winning does not discount the possibility of the impossible happening.

I guess every person has their respective techniques that makes them comfortable betting but this is definitely the first time I heard someone relying on "face appearances" on betting. I hope that by using this technique, you are not being racist OP.

As someone who has played table tennis during the entirety of my High School years, I would say that watching this sport is one of those things that makes your jaw drop in awe. Lots of Chinese and European players are gods in this sport especially that the top player right now can be changed by another person within the next few weeks/months. That is why I somehow consider this sport to be relatively difficult in terms of betting.

I agree, diversification can be definitely helpful and must be exercised in order to maximize your earnings especially during a calamity. But another crucial factor must be said- investments are always liquid. Meaning, you can always convert all of your investments to cash especially if you need the funds during an emergency.

While a family must have an emergency fund ready for any calamity, you can always convert your investments to cash when the need arises. Remember, investments are also resources that you can use especially when you definitely and significantly need the cash to use.

Personally, I would prefer it to be volatile in order to retain its investment potential in the market.

Given that the price of BTC has been steadily increasing/decreasing, many investors have taken the opportunity to HODL and wait for its price to skyrocket. Given its inflationary nature with only a limited supply of 21 million, it is but inevitable for its price to increase as the years go by. With the convenience of purchasing BTC via local exchanges, it has become the new 'digital gold' in this aspect especially on its investment opportunities.

Good question- I think the best possible way in order to secure your recovery seed while not compromising its safety is to store them in a sealed deposit box. Generally, you can get a deposit box and have it deposited in your local bank for safekeeping. Maybe another method would be to properly store it in your own safety box for maximum security.

Given that there is really nothing secured in the internet, I highly advise you to keep or store it digitally as it may be susceptible of hacking. At the end of the day, it all boils down to the least likely event that would happen as anything can definitely happen- just go with the lower chances of happening.

Hmm, the statements that you mentioned are somewhat conflicting. The fact that several gambling websites have blocked you heavily implies that you are violating their respective TOS and rules on their website. You just cannot just brush it off and say that "you have no idea" on why they did that. Generally, gambling websites will not block their users without any valid reason as this would cost them to ruin their well-built and established reputation.

Anyway, I suggest trying out the big casinos being currently advertised in this forum. While their rates are relatively different from what 1xbit offers, at least you get the price of security and comfort knowing that your account will not be "blocked" assuming that what you are doing is legal.

I personally agree with you. The gambling scene has significantly popularized Las Vegas and Macau as the main gambling establishments to visit at least once in your lifetime. Though I very occasionally gamble, if I were given the opportunity to visit those renowned places, I would definitely take all the chances and experience its amenities and feel for the game.

Though I only hope that these well-known gambling establishments soon accept cryptocurrencies as an alternative payment to their games. That would definitely be the dream!

Personally, the best time to invest into BTC is the time where you discover about its existence. That is why, I consider that time is of the essence when it comes to investing into cryptocurrencies. Fortunately, the widespread knowledge of BTCs have been steadily increasing over the years, both positively and negatively.

Fortunately, more countries have started to adopt cryptocurrencies to system of their government as the latter recognizes its potential uses economically. Though there are still countries who continuously prohibit the transactions of cryptocurrencies, more countries somehow outweigh such tradeoff.

I do not think so- most campaign signatures of gambling websites provide only a limited number of allowance allocated to it to necessarily "test the market." Again, the more members they recruit, the more chances of their gambling website being advertised across this forum.

In adherence to this situation, this is also the reason on why there are also some gambling websites that have an initial budget only planned for let's say 2 weeks, but they suddenly extended their campaign signature for more than 10 weeks due to the sudden boost of players after the "testing period" on the campaign.

This broke the news here in the Philippines. One interesting feature to note is that all the winnings numbers are divisible by "9." Though I am not profound with mathematics and/or statistics, does it have an implication of such?

This is the first time I have encountered more than a hundred of people winning a 6-number lottery. Though statistics may argue that it is possible, the chances of it from happening must be like significantly low. Currently, there have been conferences starting to discuss this kind of impossible feat- though we will keep you guys also updated on how this unimaginable happened.

I do think that this is the normal occurrence given that the world is transitioning to a digital age. Given that technology is innovating more and more each day, more businesses have started to integrate and adapt digitally, where they offer services on this platform. No wonder that social media has been flocked with tons of advertisements of businesses.

Though the social aspect is becoming more irrelevant, this is nothing but the inevitable given that the world is transitioning to this kind of aspect. The more the business can adapt to changes, the more that they can be ahead of the curve in terms of competition.

This is very interesting- given that lots of countries have started to adopt cryptocurrencies in their financials as well, I guess the government of the Philippines saw it as a potential benefit in the long-run in our country. With this in mind, I do hope that the government would allow a more lenient on its application.

Our local exchange have started to adopt stringent regulations in terms of requiring KYC documents to be submitted + additional more documents that makes it counter-productive. If the government really wants to adopt cryptocurrencies in the country, I hope they make the application easier and convenient to all people willing to test it out.

I think someone posted already a detailed guide on how to use the search engine on this forum effectively. However, should you find difficulty, then the internet is your best friend. At least almost every thing and information can be searched through various search engines available (e.g. Google, etc.). You can also watch detailed videos on YouTube and/or read books about cryptocurrencies.

There are tons of posts about cryptocurrencies in this forum (hence on why it was created in the first place). If you spend your time browsing through the archives or on the pages, you would find most discussions that have already answered your impending question. Good luck on your journey and may this be the start of your opportunity today, OP.

More than the reasons that OP posted, the fact that BTC is the currency under the blockchain speaks about financial freedom- lack of any control from the government on our transactions. This is mainly the reason on why some countries have their reservations on integrating it to their financials, though some countries have started adopting it even as a legal tender to their country.

Personally, BTC is something more of an opportunity; an opportunity that a person living in a third-world country that can alleviate my economic status with the right investment and knowledge on it. While it is not an absolute formula to success, the fact that it can definitely make someone live comfortably is enough for me to love it.

This is just not irresponsible parenting but this is the main reason on why she should not have been a parent at all.

She has no regards for human life especially that she can offer her child as a collateral for her own personal need and gain. The fact that she can freely offer, with clear conscience, her own child speaks on how grave her gambling addiction is. I really hope that she will never ever able to retrieve her son after this incident- who knows what the son had suffered while he was staying with his mother during this time.

I hope that the government does something with this incident. The health and welfare of the child is the paramount consideration of the government; the child should be given to a legal guardian and the mother should not have custody or anything whatsoever with him.
