181  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Taking a break in gambling on: February 10, 2024, 04:26:41 PM
I know it's sometimes not really easy to quit nor take a break at once but then you shouldn't have to wait till you are bankrupt before you stop because that's almost a sign of addiction which may lead to irresponsible and unhealthy gambling habit which is actually detrimental to both your finances and healthy and by extension the people around you too so you don't have to wait for such to happen to you first. Except you gamble exclusively for fun of which is still not too good because too much of anything or everything cause harm at some point

If you don't want such negative effect of addiction on you then you should quit or take a break at this point before it becomes too late and you are no longer able to to stop meanwhile you have lost so much already to the unhealthy habit, gambling must be done with caution and sense of responsibility.
It's not easy to stop gambling for a while because we still think we can get pleasure from gambling. Stopping gambling can help us to calm our minds and also keep our gambling expenses from getting too big.
Stopping gambling can also prevent us from gambling addiction that may already exist within us which makes it difficult for us to stop our gambling activities. And even if you gamble for fun, stopping gambling is still recommended to avoid the desire to continue gambling activities.
By stopping gambling, we can avoid the negative effects of gambling so that we will not gamble excessively. This is also to be able to maintain distance from gambling so that there is no feeling of wanting to gamble again.

If you gamble but don't accept luck and keep gambling with confidence on your own experience then you will face big losses at some point. you must accept fate. you cannot win at gambling unless you are lucky
No one can say whether 1 out of 10 people will be lucky or not. Because no one can predict fate.  It is given by God. So while gambling you have to keep in mind that you will lose.  You can never avoid loss. It's impossible.
Yes, no one can know when we win and we also don't know when luck will come. They can only keep gambling until they win, which means they get lucky. When gambling, we must be able to accept that we lose and not worry about it so that we don't feel stressed.
We will not be able to avoid defeat, and it can happen more often than winning, which only comes occasionally. And I believe in luck, but we can't always expect luck when we gamble.
We should not put too much hope in gambling so that we don't end up being disappointed for a long time, which could trigger us to continue gambling.
183  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling all about luck? on: February 10, 2024, 06:31:52 AM
The only aspect of gambling that really doesn't require luck are those games that requires a person to use his IQ or require mathematical calculations to win, then, the person's winning doesn't depend on luck but on his skill, knowledge and experience. Games such as card games, card games depends on the player's level of skill and not on mere luck. But if it's other games such as slot games, soccer, football, basketball and others, you need luck more than you need skills.
Card games and sports betting are gambling games that require skill to play and win. But not many people want to learn it because they think it is difficult.
They tend to choose gambling games that are very easy to play so they don't have to learn anything that looks complicated. If they want to learn it, their chances of winning could be greater.
But it will come back to them because they decide which gambling game they want to play.

Luck is crucial, especially in chance games. Recreational gaming is close to addiction. Too many ignore this, lured by the next big win. A delicate tango with fortune demands awareness and discipline.

Moderation and awareness are crucial to enjoying gaming, in my experience. Luck is uncontrollable, but odds and methods can help. I recommend pleasant gaming that balances risk and responsibility. This is about the experience, not the result.

Addiction prevention is crucial. I've always seen gambling as amusement, not a solution to life's problems. You must keep a healthy perspective and know when to stand back. For luck-based games to remain fun and spontaneous, safe gambling must be promoted.
If they can't get luck or don't know when luck will come, they don't need to gamble too often because it will only waste their money without being able to win. But only a few people are willing to go through with it and always limit their gambling while others will be increasingly eager to get lucky enough to win.
They don't remember that this is gambling, where luck will not always come to them. They want to get lucky but don't understand that it won't come easily.
They must be able to prevent the desire to continue gambling because they want to get lucky. They think continuing their gambling will bring them luck, even though this is not the case.
184  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If I bet big I lose, but if I bet small I win on: February 09, 2024, 03:01:55 PM
I don't know if the scenario is like that, but that's how gambling is, so you don't need to be surprised and annoyed. If you already know you can win if your bet is small, you should continue placing bets with small money.
Never use big bets because they will cause you to lose, and you have experienced this many times. But maybe the casino algorithm/system knows the patterns you make so the casino will win many times and take your money.
Maybe that applies to all games but I don't know because so far, I rarely get those wins either.
185  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling all about luck? on: February 09, 2024, 09:33:06 AM
Snip

It is true that gambling does not depend only on luck, experience and strategy and not being addicted, all these aspects a person who observes self-sufficiently can definitely benefit from gambling. Gambling experience and risk taking are definitely possible to win when betting on gambling. Generally in gambling if I am addicted to gambling all the time without taking any risk then surely there is a possibility of loss, because gambling needs to exist.
Yes, you are right. But at least gambling requires luck to win besides the things you mentioned.
Many gamblers don't understand this, so they don't study it and just place bets based on other people's predictions. But that means it will depend on the type of gambling game because if they gamble in luck-based gambling games, they really depend on their luck.
And it has become something that often happens where someone will continue to gamble if they have reached the stage of addiction. There is nothing else that concerns them apart from gambling so we must be able to avoid this for our own good too.
186  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Struggle now to invest in Bitcoin for a bright future. on: February 08, 2024, 01:01:13 PM
Those who come from low-income countries do not start investing in bitcoin because they prioritize meeting their daily needs. They still have difficulty meeting their daily needs so they don't think about starting to invest.
Maybe they need to calculate all their income and expenses, and then they will see how much money they still have to invest in Bitcoin. But they still have difficulty meeting their daily needs so they can't think about other things.
We can't blame those who don't want to start investing in bitcoin because investing in bitcoin is each person's choice. And those who have started investing in bitcoinmust be able to continue doing so regularly until they can get big profits from it.
187  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your response in placing live bets with a friend at a live sporting matches on: February 08, 2024, 09:06:19 AM
Several years ago, I was in that scenario when I often hung out with my old friends. It was the World Cup and my friend and I competed against each other by holding the country of our choice. Victories and defeats came and went between us so that we could say that we could break even.
But the emotions we experience are only during the match and will not continue after the match is over because we know it is pointless. Yes, we enjoyed the betting moment because we watched the match together so we knew what score each country got. And it was truly a moment I will never forget.
188  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich or poor gambler, who should risk more? on: February 08, 2024, 03:45:08 AM
I believe it depends, as both can see a bet that is very advantageous and both will risk more. But speaking of proportion and amounts bet, the poor will take more risk compared to the poor proportionally.
Not really, because poor gamblers, with all their limitations, especially limitations in terms of capital for gambling, should have less risk. Rich gamblers are more risky because they will use more money to gamble.
However, poor gamblers can be at greater risk if they then decide to spend more money than they usually use. And at that moment, the risk of losing your money will immediately increase.
In gambling games, a person must pay attention to the risk of losing money and try to reduce the amount of money lost so that it does not increase. But most people will forget to do that because they increasingly want to get bigger wins.
189  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy bitcoin now? on: February 07, 2024, 08:44:39 AM
That's up to you. If you don't mind buying bitcoin now, you can immediately buy it.
You can also use the DCA method to buy bitcoin regularly. With this method, you don't need to check bitcoin price movements.
You can buy bitcoin according to the time you have specified.
But if you want to buy bitcoin when the price falls further or when it reaches DIP, you can do that too. But this method will be more difficult because no one knows when the DIP will come.
But many of us recommend buying bitcoin using DCA because it is safer and you can buy it regularly. You don't need to depend on people's predictions or price movements.
190  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling mistake repeated by the gamblers on: February 07, 2024, 03:00:56 AM
Overconfidence and greed are problems that every gambler should avoid. But many gamblers still don't pay attention until they have to experience loss.
This is because they are too confident in their bets, giving them confidence that they will win. And after they win, they become greedy and try to chase other wins.
This causes them to lose their money and even their winnings will be used to gamble because they want to chase win.
When they can win twice in a row, their confidence will grow and they will think they can win again. This makes them continue gambling and because their greed also increases, they continue gambling but don't realize that it is time for them to lose.
191  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Pay off DEBT by do Gambling? think again before you loss more on: February 06, 2024, 06:06:03 AM
Yeah, having a job is the main solution for paying off the debts that a gambler has. There's no need to rethink of it and just look at the part when you can easily pay it with your salaries. You have to talk to the person that you owe money and explain that you'll pay it eventually with the use of your salary without any other sources like gambling again. Because it has already taught you on how to be better with yourself and it's not the way on how you should pay your debts.
That should be what is on their minds so they can pay off their debts and not try to make money from gambling. In any case, they will just find it difficult to make money from gambling so they might as well forget about it.
Having debt because they used their money to gamble is not a good plan because it can confuse them about how to pay off their debt.
If you can't pay off all your debts, you will be chased by people who lent you money. When that happens, you will feel uncomfortable.
192  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who among you here is gambling at work? on: February 06, 2024, 03:52:35 AM
Distinguishing work from play is the issue, not gambling. Set limits and keep track of time. It checks how mature and responsible you are. As individuals, it is our duty to keep our personal actions, such as gambling, separate from our work duties. Work and fun can go together as long as we give each one their own time and care. So we can relax without giving up our work ethic or getting less done. Instead of banning, the discussion should focus on how to promote balanced and responsible behavior
We should be able to differentiate between work and play. And because gambling is included in the game and not an activity that we must do immediately, we should be able to choose the right time to gamble.
We cannot take the risk of gambling while we are at work. That is the same as putting us at risk and will also result in us being fired from our jobs. Work and fun can go together, but we know how risky gambling can be, which can make us lose control.
If they were truly responsible, it might still be possible, but gambling while at work is not necessary.

The gambler who had the good environment in the work place can use to play the gambling in the work place.But he need to understand the fact the gambling is not based on fake money.Until he had good environment in the work place,the gambler can skip of playing the gambling in their work place.The betting should not made with the panic of being captured by their owner or manger in the work place.This panic of gambling may leads to the gambler to loss their money by the random betting in the gambling site.The gamblers can use their house to play the gambling without any panic games in the gambling site.
If I had a good job, I wouldn't risk gambling at work. I don't want to experience problems even though my work environment supports me if I gamble. There will be people who don't like what I do, in this case I gamble.
Those who don't like this will report me to my superiors so that I can get sanctions from the company. I have seen this many times, especially with my friends working in companies where competition between employees is tight.
Some openly don't like their work friends, but some friends secretly put their attack. I don't want to experience that.
193  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who among you here is gambling at work? on: February 05, 2024, 01:25:28 PM
Yeah as no employer wanted to see their employees doing unrelated things especially those that involved in gambling during duty hours as it is against the company's policy. As an employee I followed every single rules and regulation not to brag this but yeah gambling don't work with me while I am on duty. I can do it on my free time if I want to but no.
Let alone gambling, I can't even open my social media account whenever my boss is around though he won't scold me he always says nicely that I need to be productive to his company whenever I am done with my work for that day, my leisure time with the computer should be related to my work about researching for its improvements and looking for suggestions to further improve it. Nevertheless, That's what we should do while we are at work because we cannot afford to lose our jobs just because we are eager to play online games or just look at our social media account while our boss is monitoring us.
We cannot take the risk of gambling at work. We shouldn't gamble while we're working, even if our boss doesn't scold us if he sees it.
We must be able to separate things that are priorities from things that are entertainment so that we don't play gambling that we only use as entertainment. Companies also don't want to see their employees gambling because they pay us to do good work.
We must understand the situation and conditions and work well and not do things that are not related to the company, especially while gambling.
That will only cause us problems later.

That's because they see that borrowing money can be used to gamble and they also see that with the borrowed money, they can have a chance to win even though gambling will not be able to give them the victory they imagine.
It is a bad idea to borrow money to gamble because it can worsen the situation, especially if they lose all their money. They will not be able to pay their debts when someone collects them so they will probably stay away from it.
Yes, they should look for work to earn income. And from that income, you can use a little to gamble. This will help you avoid debt problems.
With that logic and point of view, someone who's seeing it with gambling is likely to get more in debt. That's sad but there's no improvement with that thinking and understanding if they see some resolution through gambling with their situations.
However, someone who frequently gambles should not see debt as providing a solution for them when they have no money. They should be able to restrain themselves from gambling when they don't have money.
They should just think about looking for a job to make money so they can allocate some money for their gambling activities. A person who is still in debt will run into problems sooner or later and when he realizes it, he really has difficulty solving the problem. Yes, it is sad but they should try to solve the problem by paying back their debts and never borrowing money again.
195  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Less than 80 days until the 4th Ever #Bitcoin Halving on: February 05, 2024, 04:50:55 AM
Maybe that's what will happen. If we look at the previous halving, no price increase occurred. But the price increase occurred after a few months. It makes people amazed to see what bitcoin is doing.
The bitcoin price slowly started to increase and no one expected it to increase towards the last ATH achieved by Bitcoin. So there is a possibility that we will see the same thing for the next halving so that we are still given time to accumulate bitcoins.
And maybe there will also be a decline in Bitcoin prices before and after the halving so that after the halving, the price will start to increase again until it makes a new ATH.

All we can do is predict about Bitcoin price based on previous halving data. AFAIK there is halving in Jul 2016 and we an ATH in Dec 2017. Next halving was in May 2020 and we saw an ATH in Nov 2021. We have a halving coming in April 2024 and based on previous data we can say that price might go up in 2025 not in this year. It's recommended that we gather Bitcoin and HODL them before the bull run start. This time there might be some shift in pattern because there are too many investors waiting for this halving.
If you don't want to experience difficulties in predicting the price of bitcoin, you don't need to follow its journey and just wait for what happens when the halving comes. After the halving, you can check market conditions occasionally and activate the alarm at a certain price.
When there is a bitcoin price movement, and it reaches an alarming price, you will know and can immediately check the market. For now, it is recommended that we collect as many bitcoins as possible because there is an estimate that the price of bitcoin will rise very high. The increase in bitcoin prices is likely to exceed yesterday's ATH.
Unfortunately, we still don't know when the new ATH will be reached and we can only prepare ourselves to wait for its arrival.
196  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Less than 80 days until the 4th Ever #Bitcoin Halving on: February 04, 2024, 05:40:05 PM

197  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The "loaded slots" scam on: February 04, 2024, 09:21:34 AM
We don't need to trust someone who claims they can provide some confidential information about slot games. We cannot expect to win in gambling, especially in online casinos. We can only gamble and enjoy it.
If we believe the myth and send some money to find out the secret, we have already been deceived by their offer. And instead of sending money to them, it's better to use it for gambling.
We will not regret it if we lose at gambling rather than losing money because we were deceived by those who offered the secret.
198  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you invest on this kind of offer? on: February 04, 2024, 03:02:48 AM
I don't want to try it because it was too risky for me. Maybe you want to return investors' investments if your money is lost, but there is no guarantee that everything will run smoothly. Moreover, we know that in gambling, we will not always be able to win easily and often.
Rather than risk losing money, it's better for me to pass up an offer like that. Besides, I don't want to take too much risk beyond what I can afford.
Maybe this search can help people who regularly borrow money but can't participate in gambling because you are the one gambling, and those who invest with you are just waiting to share the results.
199  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Pay off DEBT by do Gambling? think again before you loss more on: February 03, 2024, 01:27:13 PM
Before, I don't understand why people think that paying their debts through gambling is a choice. But now, I do understand that this is the reality of life that there are people that will always think of the odd idea on how make themselves debt free but instead, they're adding more pressure to themselves and will result to having more troubles to themselves. When you want to get out of debt, do it the traditional way by working and earning and paying it with your money.
That's because they see that borrowing money can be used to gamble and they also see that with the borrowed money, they can have a chance to win even though gambling will not be able to give them the victory they imagine.
It is a bad idea to borrow money to gamble because it can worsen the situation, especially if they lose all their money. They will not be able to pay their debts when someone collects them so they will probably stay away from it.

It is obvious that gambling is all about risk and when you don't take risk in gambling you cannot be able to to win in gambling so therefore any investment you are into if you don't take risk and the investment you will be able to end without growth So numbering and investment is all about the risk so I believe that without this measure you cannot be able to win anything
This is what makes a risk taker becomes Rich over night, when you can not take risk their will never be a place for you as a gambler to win.
You must risk if you want to win. Anything that do with money is expensive and also risky, so when you can not risk you can not also get profits, so being on a better area you have to take risk as that what means gambling and investor.
We can take risks in gambling, but we have to remember that in taking those risks, we have to be able to adjust them to the budget we have prepared. The problem is that many gamblers are not prepared for the risks and do not calculate how much risk they will accept.
They just think about continuing to gamble without estimating how much the risk will increase. Many gamblers still underestimate the risk of losing money, so they gamble without restrictions on how to use their money.
This is what causes many gamblers to experience large losses, and they can even increase if they are not aware of the risks.
Everything we do also has risks, so we need a way to manage the risks according to what we can.
