Depends on the belief of an individual or within a religion. Belief in the first place has no concrete basis. But if this is concerning living through gambling alone, the answer is a big no. Let us say that you happen to win a huge amount, would that be enough? No amount is enough especially because of the tendency that your expenses could change as well, consuming your winnings faster. Winning in the first place is not certain. If you happen not to win again and end up not being able to maintain your expenses after a huge win, for sure it'll leave you broke. Also, the more you are depending in this industry, the bigger your bets would be.Yes, never the belief to be questioned but the individual himself, whether to engage or not in this industry. Change is innevitable and is observant to all individuals across races, beliefs, and status.

Downside to some is; most of the bonuses are consumable only in the platform and is not an amount you can withdraw in an instant. Most of the time, gambling token is the reward which is a part of their marketing strategy; to encourage players to experience their platform for the tendency of players being dragged or hooked to the platform itself. Only few gambling platforms are giving away bonuses which are withdrawable but are also limited to an amount. The idea here is that, a gambling house cannot allow players to earn that much without spending simply because it will be a loss on their end. You'd only be able to maximize bonuses if you will win in the platform using those bonuses.

Ideologies of such is far from reality, I guess. This will jist yield to the question "why would governments do that?". If it is job opportunities related to currencies, then that is long ago existing with fiat such as with banking. And if you are trying to point out taking advantage of the market peice volatility, that is also the reason why this technology is not having support from the governments because for them it would put people into risk. Also, the undying issue of taxation in this industry. I would be fine earning profit from this industry on many ways, without recognition from the government. In the first place, if government will be chained in this industry, all of our profits would be taxed and that is simply in contrast with this technology's nature.

Some are really extending their effort to deal with poverty but depending on the government won't really help us escape poverty. Education I guess, is the key, in general. First, if people would be knowledgeable of things, they'd know how to plan for their future and that is one step already. Problem is, people in areas wherein poverty is obvious, are not even trying to make a change because they are simply used to it. Well ofcourse there are those who has the will but are lacking the oppotrunity BUT if you have the knowledge, you can create your own opportunity. It is not all about education indeed but no doubt that it would be a huge part of every man's success.

Is this the asset vs currency discussion? Been asked multiple times. Bitcoin is both an asset and as a currency, technically. But it is more being used as an asset simply because of the market price volatility and lack of acknowledgement in many countries at the present. Market price volatility benefits those who knows how to manage risk and analyze the market behavior. Also, as long as volatility exists, it would be hard to use it as a currency on small transactions or daily transactions perhaps because there will be guilt from doing so, regarding profit potential from just holding it. Also, as in line with being a currency, there will be no baseline price given that its value moves a lot.

Probably checking a gambling site's credibility in this industry. I want to say give winning bet suggestions but I think that won't count because it won't promote certainty and also that is not a problem in the first place. Most of the problems in this industry are; scam platforms, delay with deposits and withdrawal, lags, accessibility, and the likes. I won't include addiction and risk because that is something which would revolve around the player himself. Above mentioned problems, biggest one an AI project could solve is regarding credibility because it is something which could be stored as a data for a software.

Point here is, winning will never be certain especially for games wherein luck is the baseline. Manage your bets in a way that won't hurt your pocket totally. Betting efficiently will save you from regrets. Also, keep in mind that this industry doesn't revolve around you alone. If you lose an amount big on your end, how sure are you that others are not? There's no cheating in this scenario; you're just unlucky and somewhat a hard bettor. Pushing your way to win will never be advisable 'coz it has a higher tendency to result into bigger losses. Sites are only cheating if no one really wins the game, also, you have the rights to move to another platform if this is the case than to wait for the platform itself to adjust and put things in favor on your end.

Manipulation? Odds will continue changing as long as the match has not started yet, it qould be locked during the match. Much better if you have documented what happened. 'coz on our perspective, you're probably wiped because you chose a losing bet? Either you lose or win, these are the only outcomes, except for draw. It is impossible that you have a winning bet and still ended up losing because of what you are saying 'manipulation'. Think of the instances and review your bet, it is also possible that you made the wrong bet since you have mentioned that you had difficulties with placing your bet. Unless proven, this will just be an accusation.

As much as possible and as much as you can. For sure the bigger the better BUT nothing will give you an assured profit. Take note that the market price of Bitcoin is volatile and that means funds of yours won't be having assurance to generate profit in the future. If we would base on charts, indeed the market value of it is growing in a long run but what would give us certainty that it will be continuous? Anything could happen in a long time frame and that simply means that risk will always be there. Using this technology as your retirement plan won't be advisable. Retirement funds should bee in a place wherein no risk is present because you'd be needing it in times of emergency. Let us be not delusional; not because this technology has potential you'd already risk everything into it.

Technically, it is safe to put money in the banks simply because it is registered under government institutions, meaning, all transactions are tracked. Bottomline is, the value or amount you have put in there would remain the same for a long period of time unlike with putting it to other digital asset. For sure you are trying to persuade people to put their funds on cryptocurrency, it would be a good idea only if they can endure possibility of losses. Putting your money in cryprocurrency will give you the opportunity to grow your fund but will also put your money at risk given that market prices are volatile or changing from time to time. Decentralized exchanges are not banks.

There are many ways to earn money, the marketable goods are just expensive which somehow makes earning money, difficult. This is how I viewed things. But there are ways such as making the cashflow in one's household efficient; planning no matter how hard it becomes because of higher daily expenses. If you will be able to save a small amount in each day, it could give you enough 'allowance' for next months especially if it will be continuous. Know alternatives and seek for what will give you lower costing such as buying in bulk, avoid wasting the food, choosing to take a walk if distance is tolerable. We were used of the daily routine but since prices are increasing, things are not really the same, therefore, adjustments should be made as well.

What's the need to encourage? That will just be a waste of time. Just let them be. They should learn this technology at the bottom than us spoonfeeding them. Once you shared the benefits, they'd more likely focus only with the profit potential and will not pay much of attention towards the risks involved. There are also instances that you would be the one to be blamed once a market crash occur simply because you encouraged them. You may share your insights but do not waste time proving a point. They would in the first place if they'd be really interested. We simply have to break misconceptions that things are easy in this industry.

Games of chance are those which are pure-luck based; dice games,slots, roulettes, etc. In every gambling activity, luck is needed but there are games such as those involving cards wherein it is a mixture of skills and luck in order to come up with a win. Basically, those wherein strategies work are those which requires skills. Strategies such as bluffing, managing your bets, checking for odds, and the likes could help a player on winning the game. There are also games such as with sportsbetting wherein player's analysis of the teams or players plays a key function to win the game; a matter of doing background checks, previous fights, statistics and all.Despite of being different with their natures, players are having the same goal and are stepping on the same ground.

Fixed matches but that is solely for entertainment and not for betting. Betting on WWE matches are somehow between a group of individual or peer and not officially on gambling sites as far as I know, for the fact that matches are staged. Sometimes, my brother and I are betting in one of their matches since we grew up watching wrestling since smackdown and Impact. Betting is just a bonus, what we enjoyed the most is watching the fights despite of who would win. Also, I never saw a betting game on any gambling site covering WWE for an obvious reason, which is just fine by me even if I am a fan. I do understand the point of not outting it in line, unlike with boxing and UFC matches which are dominant in sportsbetting.

Reputation indeed. Most of the casinos are offering huge bonus and reward system but not all gambling platform is having a good reputation in this industry. A player could be attracted of these promotions but what would make a player to stay on a particular platform is the service they are having; how a house addresses players concerns, fast transactions, low transaction fees and such. It would be a huge thing for a player to feel safe on playing, withdrawing, and depositing to a gambling site without any worries of losing their funds. So for me, user interface and other things could just be a bonus of a gambling site, and there are specific things which would be more appreciated especially by 'real' players out there.

Volatility is the main thing to both gambling and cryptoinvestment. I view it as a bet within a bet; converting fiat to crypto would already be the first bet, and engaging it to gambling activity would be the second one. Why is it thrilling? Profit potential ofcourse. You may lose on your investment but you could win it back in the game, and vice versa. High risk high returns should I say. This idea simply makes it more addictive but both has risks within; fiat and crypto gambling. In both currencies, risk would be present and things are full of uncertainties.
I think that is not dependent with the currency you are bettinf but your fate solely. Try continuously betting using fiat and crypto, you'd end up being broke to both of it, especially if you are not lucky enough and that has nothing to do with the medium you are using; gambling is gambling.

It wasn't a 'formal' betting game but I once bet between a friend being pregnant or not. It was an agreement or betting game between my colleagues and I, since one of us was getting married that time. So in a sudden one brought the idea of a reason why they are in a hurry and this was one of the option. It is I think strange because that is really something to not argue about but the person of interest is down to it. I luckily won by the way, along with the two friends who voted yes. But with official betting game such as with bets among other gamblers, best one so far is the presidential candidate in U.S. First thing here is I'm not from that country. Second is, it is a serious matter because the fate of a country relies on the result.

I personally cannot and will not blame those people who are in doubt and worried of KYC procedures because they have their own reason; protecting their identity. Their reason is valid in the first place since one's personal infos could be used in a bad way especially if hackers would be able to access the system of a gambling platform or the platform itself has the intention to do so. But as OP have mentioned, this procedure has its purpose. The only thing that could lessen your worries is to engage only with platforms having good reputation in this industry because they won't be in such position for nothing, unlike with engaging to any platform without caution. KYC could limit minors and easily withrawing your funds, which are aspects I consider of it.

Most likely, they are being paid to do so. Nothing would do something if they won't benefit from their efforts. Unless they are just fond of a specific gambling site and they want to share their experience with other people, which is rare if I would be asked. Why would you promote something if it will result to a disadvantage on your end? This simple question is simply the answer. Influencers are using their fanbase which is not a bad thing since they are the ones who boosted such community. But problem is, some are becoming insensitive of the risk they are putting their viewers. Not all people could endure losses, keep that in mind. They simply trusted you as someone they look up to, which should be an enough reason to be promoting responsibly.
