I agree with this. But in contrast to your statement that without internet the children cannot do their homework, well, they can. Only if there's an accessible public library in the area where they reside. They can use the books for free if their city has one and permits so. Although it will be such a shame if it has none because not everytime we have internet to rely on and not everyone is privileged enough to have gadgets and net connection. But that's another story. Going back, children can use internet as long as they will be carefully supervised by their parents or guardian.

It is the duty of the parents to monitor their children's reach on the Internet because they should be the role model of their own kin. Blocking certain websites such as those with explicit contents and gambling contents can help, to avoid the kids being involved at a young age in gambling.
We know that after the pandemic is over, they can return to their normal activities. However, there may be assignments given by their teachers that still require them to send their assignments via the internet, so if there is no internet, they will have difficulty doing them. They can do it if there is an internet connection from another device. Yes, they can get it from their parents.

Parents can only supervise them and teach their children not to misuse the internet. And their parents have also told them not to use the internet for unnecessary things. Children who understand it will not violate their parent's messages and will use what they need.

the luck goddess is a tricky one
she likes to hide sometimes, and then out of nowhere is present to please.

you can't trust her
but when she comes it's all fun and games.

always nice to hear her stories and learn on how different cultures personificated her
have you ever read about Tyche?
I've never heard of it.

Well, we can only hope for luck, especially if we gamble just for fun. We can't chase the win like other people, so it's better for us to gamble as usual. And instead of suffering loss, we must reduce the money we use for gambling.

~snip~
Everyone has the same luck, it's just time that makes a difference, there are those who have won big in the first game and there are also those who have won in the second or third game. In essence, luck is not present every time we gamble.

So what you say is true, that it is bad behavior to spend the money we have on just one game. Slot games are the easiest type of game for us to play, because in playing this type of gambling we are not required to have special skills or special knowledge in playing it. When playing this type of gambling, we are only required to have good self-control because this type of gambling has a fairly high level of risk of loss, where you can experience losses in just a few rounds.
Yes, we have luck when playing gambling, but unfortunately, we can't stop after getting that luck. Once we win, we can't stop but instead try to pursue a bigger win even though we won't always be able to get the next win because it will depend on our luck too.

Spending money on one gambling game is not recommended because we cannot try playing other gambling games. And when the money runs out, we don't immediately gamble, instead we deposit additional money to continue playing the same gambling game. That is why we need good self-control so that we don't become emotional or greedy to recover losses or win.

I think that what is true is that some gamblers sell stakes when they participate in tournaments like in poker. I have seen that before and I believe there are also forums where well known players offer to others to pay some of their entry fee in return for potential winnings. But I don't understand why anyone would have a good reason to pay someone to gamble for them. If it is real gambling where it is all about luck it's like wasting money. And how would that be done? Will the investor be updated on what the paid gambler played? If anyone said that this is a business model, I definitely haven't heard about it ever. It doesn't make sense to ask someone to play roulette for them. I do get the point in poker, but even there it's something I wouldn't recommend to anyone.
I've never seen it, but it could be what you say. If it's true, maybe they have their reasons for doing that. Or perhaps they know gamblers and then ask them to gamble for them. They act like investors who hand over their money to someone else and will enjoy the results, but they are really looking for someone they know who is an expert at gambling so they can win. For them, perhaps it is their newest business model to make money where they don't have to bet directly but hand it over to an expert. Well, anything can happen, especially since this is gambling, and some people are really experts at playing poker and roulette or other gambling games.
1664  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: what are the reputable casino with vault feature? on: October 20, 2023, 12:17:48 PM
I have never used the vault feature and I do not understand what is the purpose of the vault in a gambling site ? The best way is to keep the funds in your personal wallet and transfer only the funds to which you think you are going to gamble. If that fund has exhausted, then you may deposit more and play more.

Depositing a large amount of money in a gambling site and keeping a portion of it in a vault, to use money from that vault from time to time is a risky thing, as we are never in control of the funds in case the site gets compromised or scammed. In both cases, the whole funds stored in the vault will be seized/gone forever.
I have never used the vault feature, but I think the vault feature helps gamblers not to use all their money for gambling, and they can keep their money in their account while they gamble with the budget they have set. It also limits the use of funds that are too large for gambling while they have other amounts of money they save and cannot use for a certain period.

Using the feature helps gamblers to lose more money and not gamble more than they can afford. They need to be self-disciplined in using their money to gamble to reduce the amount of money.
1665  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sports bets or in-house games, which is best for the weekend. on: October 18, 2023, 04:32:18 PM
You don't need to gamble by placing bets on sports betting or casino games because it can make you forget to limit your time and money. You will spend time with your family, so you should leave gambling for a while and enjoy your time with your family. You can still place a bet on another day or next weekend, and it doesn't have to be tomorrow because you will enjoy it with your family. If you keep placing bets and spending time with your family, you will check the results of the matches, so you won't be able to focus on enjoying your time with your family. Moreover, you are also confused about choosing a match or a gambling game. You still have a lot of time, if only for gambling, and don't waste your time with your family with losses that might come to you.
1666  Economy / Gambling / Re: Casinos not asking for KYC to register and play, but do require it to withdraw on: October 18, 2023, 03:52:13 PM
...
You are right about all you have said, I've nothing to disagree with it. But don't you think that casinos should emprove their ToS and their policies to satisfy their clients! If their clients aren't OK with one of their rules, don't you think they should modify that rule to satisfy their clients.
They should if they can. I mean they will probably consider doing something like that if they receive feedback from a lot of clients about the same thing which is to either remove or modify a certain rule that they don't like and if the casino doesn't do it, it will result in those clients leaving the platform completely. In such a situation, the management will be compelled to take at least some action for the satisfaction of their clients just to retain them.

However, if it's just a few people requesting a certain change, I don't really think that the management will even think of it and they don't need to, because if changing that rule would hurt the platform more than the loss of a few gamblers then whey will obviously not be ready to go with that change at all.
Besides that, we must know that casinos also have to comply with the regulator's regulations. If the regulator asks the casino to carry out KYC on its members, the casino must comply. If not, the casino will get into trouble with the regulator, so the casino will only carry out the regulations from the regulator, and they may be forced to change their regulations. Usually, the casino notifies its customers that there have been changes in the rules, and they must agree if members still want to continue gambling at the casino. And there is no compulsion for members to comply with the rules or leave the casino; it is purely the members' choice.

Casinos try to satisfy their clients but must follow the rules of the regulator, so the casinos change their rules. We must be aware of this, and if we want to avoid following the new rules of the casino, we can move to another more friendly casino. It is our choice to stay or look for another casino, and the casino will not force us to stay just because the casino wants to retain its customers.
1667  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can somebody make a successful career in gambling on: October 18, 2023, 03:27:09 PM
Or try and become an affiliate and bring gamblers to the platform that you use and earn a commission for that. However, people often don't understand this and they try to earn money by gambling, they don't learn from the experiences of others and they try it themselves, and once they fail miserably, after losing a lot of money in trying to make a career out of gambling, then they realize that it's not possible and they can't actually make money by gambling.
It's not easy to become an affiliator when you don't have many followers in your social media or group, most of casinos not only ask to bring new gamblers, but they also require the gamblers to lose in order to earn commission.

As for an addicted gambler, they're deserve to lose everything since they don't have any brain to think if it's impossible to earn through gambling.
You must learn many things to become an affiliate, and it also takes time because people nowadays want everything instantly. They don't want to spend time learning the good and correct ways to become an affiliate. And they just copy what other people have done without knowing what needs to be done instead of just copying and practicing it. However, the opportunity to affiliate with the gambling business is still wide open, and anyone who wants to try it can try it immediately. But if they are still in the learning stage, perhaps they need to learn more about affiliates to become successful affiliates.
1668  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I am only trying to stay safe by gambling less on: October 18, 2023, 02:57:26 PM
In order to be safe from falling to addiction, you have a lot of factors to consider such as having a specific budget intended for gambling, specific time to play or bet, and having self-control in general. You must have a goal in mind the moment you enter gambling. If you are in it for entertainment, you can have fun as much as you want and as long as you are responsible enough for your actions and for the consequences of it. And the moment you feel like you are straying far away, you should reassess your values and priorities to keep in track.
These are factors to avoid gambling addiction; as long as you can maintain it and try not to go through it, you will be safe from problems that may arise while you are gambling. Unfortunately, not many gamblers can do it because most gamblers gradually change their mindset after playing gambling for a while and think they can win more wins. Even though that's not what will happen, if someone gambles for too long, their emotions will increase. And if emotions are running high, he can go crazy and increase his bets, especially if he lost several times or several dollars previously. This will make him want to recover his losses by increasing his bet. Unfortunately, that didn't help him and gave him even more losses, so he got even more emotional and used more money. If that's the case, there's nothing you can do except regret it and start changing things so that he doesn't experience it again.
1669  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ever heard about financing a gambler? on: October 18, 2023, 02:35:01 PM
How will you feel if someone you know or just a friend of a friend walk up to you and ask you to finance them in gambling in exchange for a portion of their winnings? Does this even make any sense?

What i will first ask the person is that what if he looses, how will a make my recovery back from him, gambling is not what we do with hundred percent assurance that we must win, i can only accept his offer when he also have a physical asset to use as stake should in case he didn't win, but despite this, i still don't think it's a good practice to encourage someone in doing this at all, gambling is not done by force, we gamble when we think we needed fun and have money for doing that.
Not a good way to support, gambling is not a venue in tolerating a friend, better to invest if it's a business that a friend is asking for some money
to put up or start up capital to establish a good business.

But if it's a gambling, I mean if it's something like casino base or sports betting better not to encourage, especially if it's a friend who's asking to
lend money to invest in.

No assurance that he can repay or he can give that portion of winning to you, no one can have that 100% sure win always has that big risk behind.
It's true what @carlisle1 said because after all, gambling is not a place to make money, so we can't just give loans to our friends to gamble. It would be better to lend him money to build a business, and we could partner with him where we are the investors and he runs the business. That will have more opportunities to make money, and we have helped him to want to work where later.

There is no guarantee that he can win. That is what we must always remember so that we do not give out loan money. And if he loses all the money, how will he return the loan money when he didn't give us any guarantee. That will cause problems in our friendship.

Slots a game of luck. To support the point you have made, forget about all those strategies that are said is involved in winning. They don't work. Imagine for a minute that the supposed strategy works and every gambler uses them and they win. Soon enough the casino will run out of business. They can never let this happen.
It's better to play slots as usual without expecting to win and let the wins come to you because we can't expect to win. If many gamblers win, especially win big, the casino will go bankrupt, which is why the casino does not allow those gamblers to win a lot, and only certain people with good luck can win. So when playing slot games, we don't need any strategy; we just need to play it while limiting our time and money. But for other gambling games, gamblers can use strategies to win. So if you gamble, play for fun, and if you get it, stop immediately before you lose.
1671  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you manage greed to place your bet on: October 18, 2023, 01:34:27 PM
We should always try to be safe from greediness because this alone can be very disasterous to our gambling lifestyle..if we can work on greed, we can be more successful in life not even in gambling alone. Greed had made some persons to lose there jobs, become haters of the people, do irregular things just to satisfy there own self. A greedy man is not always doing things that would profit them alone but the end might be disaster if care is not taken. We need to make sure that we flee from anything that is going to make us to be greed whether in gambling or other things we do.
This means that everyone must overcome their greed and not follow their desires in anything, especially gambling, because in this gambling, many people have fallen and lost their valuables. They just want to follow their desires without realizing that what they are doing is wrong, and they don't realize it until everything valuable is gone. In gambling, it is very important to realize that what we have should be able to satisfy us so that we will not chase more. Otherwise, we will lose what we have earned, including the money we prepared for further gambling. If we can follow the existing limits, we will not experience any problems, and we can even use gambling as entertainment.
1672  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sustainable Approach For Your Earnings in Gambling on: October 18, 2023, 01:00:03 PM
Do you think this is a good idea? Do you have a better idea?
Lets have it!
It's a wonderful approach except that it's not under control or your discretion to decide when or how the winning streaks will be. Some of us had one time set different divergent beautiful approaches as guide in how we would gamble and make good use of our wins whereas gambling-reality swept us off our feet before we knew it turned out differently as everything was beyond our control. I think a part that will be more easy to actualize is focusing more on being a responsible gambler, expecting the unexpected in the outcomes mainly that we never can tell when we will have our next win.
The reality we get from gambling is very different from what we imagine when we imagine getting a big win after one last spin. But what happens is the opposite, where we experience many losses because after that last round, we experience loss. We instead decided to continue a few more rounds. And it turns out that triggers us to suffer more losses.

I also think that focusing on being a responsible gambler is the duty of each gambler to avoid all the problems that can arise after playing gambling. Most gamblers lose focus, so they cannot become responsible gamblers and instead become addicted to gambling. We must prevent this from happening to us so that we can gamble comfortably and enjoy all the moments.
1673  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Possible measures to stop online gambling addiction. on: October 18, 2023, 12:30:23 PM
Support from family is very useful for addicts so they can reduce their gambling habits. It is very likely that this family attention is able to motivate the gambler to really stop. Indeed, this step is not easy, but slowly gamblers will realize that the love of their family is able to restore or become a treatment for the gambler to recover from his gambling addiction.
Support from the family can at least encourage addicts to undergo therapy until they recover. Gambling addicts should be able to see that they are still accompanied by their families even though they know they are addicts and their families want them to recover. This will form the gambling addict's belief that he can recover and deserves to do so for his own future. And these steps will become more real with the actions taken by gambling addicts to have the desire to recover from gambling addiction. Gambling addicts will continue therapy until they recover because they know a family is waiting for them to come home.
1674  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never gamble in front of your kids. on: October 18, 2023, 12:06:14 PM
In fact, you have a point in what you said: if there is no internet, there is no reason for children to be curious about online gambling, even if they only get a glimpse of it. It's just that in this day and age, it seems that the child is used to watching YouTube; maybe don't show the child if you are playing gambling online.

And if we think that it is possible for children to understand at least a little bit, let them understand at least what gambling causes when they do or try it, and forbid children from gambling.
But if there is no internet, children cannot do the online assignments their teachers give. This is a dilemma bute it all depends on how parents can educate their children well. And today's children watch YouTube more often, and many things are inappropriate for them to watch. As parents, they should be able to filter what they watch for their children so that they don't see inappropriate things.

We don't know what the future holds for our children, but at least by setting clear boundaries about what they watch and don't, we can make them understand it. And if they are adults, they can filter what they watch for themselves and won't make the wrong choice.
1675  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you lose on slots? on: October 18, 2023, 11:34:56 AM

Almost all the rules you mentioned will attract gamblers and get rid of losses. Gamblers who are more addicted to casinos are afraid of losing money, but if you follow these rules and guidelines, you can certainly avoid losses to some extent. But especially the spins should not be given repeatedly on the same machine because different places must be tried so that the luck varies. Of course there is the possibility of losing when indulging in casino, but you should also change the machines to protect yourself from losses.

Playing slots depends on luck, so if someone feels like they don't have any luck, they should immediately stop playing slots before losing all their money. Slot games can make many gamblers lose all their money because slot games tempt gamblers to try to get big multipliers, and even gamblers have to use a lot of their money. But if they don't have their luck, they won't be able to win and will lose all their money. So be careful if you play slots, and always pay attention to the time and money limits to stop the game before the money runs out.

I became curious for sometime now about dog racing as I have not seen it here or  anything relates to it here or if I am wrong you can correct me and direct me to the thread or casino that offers such betting option for gamblers.
The sport will be enjoyable, but I have no idea how it will be conducted. Dog racing is an uncommon sport that is only practised in a few locations. I have never witnessed dog racing in person, but I have seen it on television a few times. Perhaps because dog racing is an uncommon sport, no casino websites offer it, or perhaps I haven't found any that do. The only animal race I am aware of that is popular is horse racing, and you can find the choice on several gambling websites, so I'm not really sure why people don't enjoy it or aren't interested in it.
You can try visiting this site:
Code:
https://www.oddschecker.com/greyhounds
For how to place a bet, you can visit this site:
Code:
https://owlertonstadium.co.uk/how-to-bet/

Other sites may provide information about finding your dog of choice. You can find dog racing betting sites using the keyword dog racing betting or other keywords.

I've never bet on dog racing either. But I didn't want to try it, let alone race horse racing. I'd rather just place a bet on sports.

People that can thrivingly hide their gambling activity from family and it's never noticed all through the time of hiding, for this set of people it's very unlikely that they fall into addiction capitalizing on the premise that for anyone to be able to hide their gambling activity they should be responsible gamblers and a responsible gambler must be someone  of self-control and that's why the can't develop gambling addiction. It's not easy hiding something like gambling from close persons like family and if you're clever enough to hide it such cleverness should also extend to how you spend money on your gambling.
They should be responsible gamblers by choosing to hide their gambling activities. But perhaps the reality is that many gamblers cannot be responsible with their gambling because hiding their gambling activities means they can use their money without anyone knowing. And this can harm them, especially if they lose control of themselves in gambling. They can deposit their money to gamble because no one will know, and if they see that their money is gone, they can only regret it. If someone finds out their money has run out, it can cause problems and disrupt their relationships with other people.

Most of the grown up people do not live with parents. At such, the parents are not aware about the interests and habits of individuals. Do you parents know that you gamble ? What was their first reaction towards your gambling habit ?
No, for me, any gambling related activity is not that important for them to know. As long I can handle myself in gambling and I know my limits, it's enough reason not to let them know. Besides, I can already picture their reaction, and what words I can get from them. They are actually the type of people who do not like gambling ever since. Letting them know will only put me in a bad mood
Perhaps parents will not like it if they see their children gambling and will ask them to stop gambling immediately before they experience big problems. And it is normal for parents to ask us to stop gambling immediately because they already know the impact of gambling on those who gamble too often. Even though his son said he could still take care of himself by controlling himself, his parents told him to stop gambling and didn't want to know his reasons. That might cause children to hide their gambling activities from their parents so they don't want to cause problems in their relationships.

Exactly, that one last shot or most of the time those who Yolo loses a lot of money, a single mistake creates a huge impact to the gambler and will re-try to recover that money, instead of quitting and enjoying they will be force to keep trying as they wanted to recover the money that they lost while playing.

I'm sure there are many gamblers who can relate to your statement, as instead of having that good control, they missed it out, and they are pushed to keep betting and using a much bigger amount trying to recover their previous losses.
It will be difficult for them to get back the money they have lost because it depends on their luck and analytical skills. But most people will return to gambling no matter how difficult it is because they feel they can still gamble and get back the money they lost. And they will say that they enjoyed getting their lost money.

Yes, it is normal for them to return to gambling, but it should be accompanied by an understanding of how far they can go so that they do not lose more money. It will be better for them if they have good control because they will know when they should stop gambling before things get worse.

~snip~
everything related to money will automatically indoctrinate our minds to become greedy even though we have won a big win. If we get it, we will feel that it is still not enough and bet again, and when we lose, we dont accept the loss and continue chasing without realizing that we have lost all the funds he has and his winnings will also be used up after an incident like that a person will regret and be angry about gambling and as if he wants revenge he comes every day wanting to get the same results while he ignores the luck that does not come every day and ends up becoming addicted because he is chasing the big win he has lost.
It will enter our subconscious so that we can become greedy and want to achieve big wins by taking bigger risks. Yes, even though they have won, it is not enough for them, and this is where self-control is important so that they can understand that they have had enough of gambling. And that makes us not chase after victory, especially if we already get it because that is enough for us to feel satisfied with what we have. So if we have good self-control, we can stop gambling without difficulty so that we will not have any burden.

I don't think my parents know I gamble. Maybe if they found out I was gambling, they would just advise me not to gamble too deeply, and if possible, it might be better to stop gambling. Well, that's the reaction of most parents when they see their children who still live with their gambling. But for his children who do not live with their parents, the parents will advise them not to gamble because it can risk causing many problems. Parents may only be able to advise their children and cannot force them, especially if their children are adults and do not live with them. But they really hope that their children will stop gambling.
