1921  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have You Experienced Winning Bets By Upsets on: June 13, 2023, 06:16:45 AM
Yes, I was amused by the question. It's happened to me once or twice, betting in anger and at that very moment getting lucky and winning a big win. At that point I got over my anger and stopped betting, leaving with the money.
Gambling is meant for fun, I do anticipate in gambling just to gain extra money for my wants, additional usage for my pocket. Betting with rage is never a good technique to make money from gambling, and it is likely that you will suffer significant losses from the system at such time. I've seen it happen to my colleagues, converting their rage into gambling and resulting in severe financial loss. When one is furious over something, it is never a sensible option to gamble in an unstable frame of mind. When I feel annoyed, I instantly quit gaming and go home to clear my mind with recreational activities.
1922  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: There are many advantages to the relationship between gambling and Bitcoin. on: June 12, 2023, 03:09:49 AM
The use of Bitcoin for gambling has been greatly supported by Crypto Casino, and certainly, their promotions have been successful in luring more users, particularly gamblers. Their advertisements in different websites and social media platforms and even in sports events had a huge impact on Bitcoin's growth which has also increased the number of Bitcoin users.
However, Bitcoin has also been a good attraction to lots of gamblers who prefer using a well established coin and provide cheaper fee at the same time. These two actually work together and they also benefit gamblers who want to generate better profit and save transaction fees.
Without Bitcoin, I'm certain that many gamblers are still suffering from fees and distress, and many may still be falling for fraudulent currencies.
Casinos that accept bitcoin as a payment method are the best options for gamblers who have issues about fees deducted while paying gaming fees. Another useful feature for gamblers is the ability to send bitcoin in exchange for gambling selections to be activated. Bitcoin is literally utilized for gaming in crypto-related casinos, and the traffic to these casinos' websites has increased since they tend to harbor more gamblers who are also familiar with bitcoin, and it is one of the simplest and fastest growing casino advancements in the system.

If undoubtedly things can look good when you have money willing to lose, not all things are given to win or only to lose, at some point you can win big, but as I have said all things are given so that at some point When the events we most want can take place, we all seek to win and sometimes that ambition is to be able to win, it is the one that comes to teach us a lesson about what we can do when we have a losing streak, and in addition to this we must not leave everything to chance , because the more losing streak our mind tells us is to keep betting and betting until we have a good profit, that is where the biggest mistake is and the key for a casino to survive, because it will always make us lose.

The system was designed for us to record streak losses in every bet, but if we use proficient gambling technique, our chances of loss are reduced to a medium. I'm always ready to hit hard in the system, especially when I'm confident in my predictions. Gambling strategies have really helped me in the space, I know countless times I would have been hit by heavy losses but my strategy saved the day, and sticking to it, not placing more than 4 good gambling bets a week, despite how profitable my game turns out, remembered losses, it's real and when it comes, it hits our portfolio very hard.
1924  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: $90,000 all in bet on: June 12, 2023, 02:41:24 AM
I just wonder why OP did not consider taking the $12k and just bet $78k so in case you lose you are still happy with the fact that you still double your initial bet now OP is disappointed with losing everything, I will secure my bet or my bankroll before I go all out so I have no hard feelings if I lose.

When betting we should not be 100% confident of the results this is gambling anything can happen, but OP has a different perspective he is back on the drawing board but taking profit should be part of his next strategy.
OP was carried away by his greed acts, he wanted everything in the flash of an eye, not fitting in the shoes, one may have possibly thought of investing in actual business rather than wasting such large sums in gambling, which is extremely risky. I know how it feels to have a valuable portfolio and lose it all due to a simple mistake. Significant sums on a single game, one of the riskiest bets I've ever seen. Is this risk or utter greediness? He should never gamble with passion and confidence, even if he is consistent in this field. Because our plans do not always go as planned, we should plan for option B in cases where our initial intentions fail.
1925  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Things that still make feel awkward with some online casinos on: June 12, 2023, 02:28:23 AM
The casino should be able to consider the advice and maybe implement it if it provides an opportunity for the casino to grow even better. But I think each casino will provide the best for its users, except for casinos that only want their users' money. Such a casino would not consider any suggestions from its members but should be prepared if its users decide to leave its casino one day. It will bankrupt the casino and close its casino because there is no support from its users. It may already be the case for the new casinos just launched.
The workers running casinos should prioritize the demands of clients in the industry. Although it is not a simple commitment, things do improve over time. Casinos are obligated to respond to customer complaints, because if a client registers a complaint and the casino fails to remedy the problem to the client's satisfaction, the client is regarded abandoned and dormant, and he or she will depart for a better one. Every individual desires what is best for them when it comes to playing casinos; the best quality is no stress or complaint and consistent speedy payment alternatives.
1926  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you been threaten to stop gambling on: June 12, 2023, 02:13:06 AM
I also agree with what you say, because if a person cannot control himself it is impossible for him to set an example. I have seen many heads of families, men who have their wife and children and suddenly lose control not because of another woman but because of the casino game, because they have losing streaks and start betting more than they should and when they start to see they put their family support money at risk, that's when the addiction comes in, the loss of control and that's why I also second what you say, control is everything when it comes to casino games.

Our major concern should be to provide for our family, which means we should look for a decent a secondary source of income, and I don't propose gambling because it's too risky and not completely reliable. Gambling is a personal decision, but when pushed to an extreme, it reveals the bad traits, depleting all personal and life savings. Of course, no one will threaten you for your money; each individual knows what is best for himself or herself. Gambling is not a good way to go; I've been there, and believe me when I tell it will deplete one's life savings if not controlled and understood on time.
1927  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which League Makes Sports Betting Easy to Win? on: June 11, 2023, 06:52:17 PM
Even though they are experts in analyzing matches, if a third party intervenes in the course of the match, the predictions that we make with great difficulty will only be in vain because surely manipulation will make us lose all the money at stake.
This kind of thing looks improbable and improbable but in reality many cases of this kind happen in sports betting.

Is there a gambler who can guarantee every weekend 8 wins with 10 bets?
I was quite a long time even an hour teenager was fond of gambling and betting on sports betting and what happened was it was difficult to get more wins even though we bet on some games.
Gambling is not always lucky for some, but with exceptional gambling technique, losses can be kept to a minimum and earnings can be maximized. We need to improve our game and apply for some fundamental essentials in for the purpose of smile again. Sport betting is simple for some seasoned gamblers but complicated for newcomers. Betting on leagues one is familiar with is the only thing that makes it simpler and more straightforward. For instance, betting on popular clubs in the English Premier League, a highly competitive league in which top teams have an 80% chance of defeating mediocre clubs.
1928  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblers understood the game on: June 11, 2023, 02:10:35 PM
Any longed time gambler should know that gambling is hust a matter of trying your own luck coupled together with how good you're in planning on a particular strategy to gamble with, we see some results as exactly predicted by us sometimes but this isn't what is common, some other time we may have rhe results that we never expected to see, we should always understand that these are the likes of risk that we may also come across in gambling either when we are winning or loosing, but the house will always have an upper edge over us.
Winning is always the goal; gamblers who are not making money are not developing their gaming approach; we learn new things every day in gambling. Gamblers spend a lot of money on games; some days they get lucky, and other days they lose. Gamblers understood the game, and each gambler has their own strategy for gambling casinos. Profitable gamblers are willing to take risks and face their concerns. I don't wager more than my anticipated targets in order to avoid crossing the line, which results in losses. When I place a bet and it doesn't count my predictions, I stop for the day because going the additional mile for revenge makes deleting your account easier.
1929  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever felt remorse after gambling? on: June 11, 2023, 01:40:07 PM
In order not to feel remorse, you need to have a strategy. Then you will practically not experience any feelings. You will see that the game is going according to one of the outcomes you have previously thought out. That's why I always think in advance of all combinations of what might happen. On what values of the deposit should I stop, admitting that I was wrong. Or where to stay after receiving a sufficient amount of profit.
Gambling is a risk, and gamblers are willing to accept the results of their decisions on games, whether gains or loses. Feeling remorse after gambling is most likely due to emotional instability. Before wagering on games, one must be in a balanced state. I occasionally experience grief after gambling, but it is never too late to rewrite the wrong done. Some people regard gambling as a negative concept in their heads, yet they refuse to stop and instead push to gamble on additional games. This remorse feeling is only felt once a week, and it is merely a signal to the mind about the dangers of gambling and the need to take precautionary steps.
1930  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: As a Gambler and a Die-Hard Fan of a Club Would you Bet Against your Club on: June 11, 2023, 01:30:19 PM
If you are a really die-hard fan (no matter how much you are into them), then I think it is not best to bet on the opposite team, but as a gambler, favoritism is not included unless you want to lose because you bet to win for that money, and if the odds or if the other team is stronger than your favorite team, then there is no choice but to bet on the stronger one because we know that our chances to win are huge. I am not a fan of football, but I do really like basketball, and when I don't bet,  that is when I become a die-hard fan, but if I do bet, I do choose the team that has higher chances.
It's never a good idea to wager on your favorite team since Favoritism comes into play. Favoritism has been the order of the day, with gamblers betting blindly merely because they support their clubs, and never betting against their clubs owing to rising beliefs. There is no time to start debating whether one's club will win or lose; I do monitor the odds, and the team with the best odds has the winning odds in my bet slip. The aim is to be on the winning side at the end of the game. Of course, I support my club in every game, but when I know they have no chance of winning against their opponents, I place my wager in their favor. I'm a big fan of football, and also a Chelsea fan.
1931  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you stop gambling (sports betting, casino e.t.c)? on: June 11, 2023, 01:16:19 PM
I have never been addicted to gambling even though I like and enjoy it. And I guess I have enough self-discipline that I'm confident in saying, I'm never going that road.

To those who are already addicted, I guess a group effort is somehow needed to get them out of it. It's hard to expect that gambling addicts themselves will initiate their own rehabilitation, so family, friends, loved ones, workmates, and whoever is around them, even the casinos themselves, should perhaps also take a little share of responsibility.

Aside from the effort to seek professional intervention, other seemingly small yet significant efforts like inviting the gambler to another hobby, or visiting him to take away some of his/her idle hours, or other efforts to simply distract him/her from gambling will definitely be of help.
Quitting is not also an easy road, it takes a long time to finally boost of oneself that there's no room for gambling. Permanent quitting of Quitting is also not an easy road; it takes a long time to convince oneself that there is no room for gambling. It takes time to effectively stop gambling permanently. I know some of my colleagues who claimed to have stopped gambling a long time ago, only to return within a few months, demonstrating that it is not simple to stop, especially for those who are addicted. After a thorough withdrawal and abstinence from all gambling-related activities, discipline and resolve, as well as changing circles and distance from those peers who gamble, one must begin pushing in new directions. Gambling always causes us to lose money and add to our debts for those who are desperate and hooked.
1932  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you take Part in Gambling Lotteries ? on: June 10, 2023, 01:58:03 AM
    -   It's been a long time since I bet on the lottery. And that was the first time I bet on the lottery and I chose 6 digits and the next day when I checked the newspaper to see what number came out, out of the six I chose, I won five, of course I was very happy.

I took my winnings at an outlet here, I thought I was a lucky person so I bet again because I thought I might get the jackpot, but I was disappointed. after events like that it was no longer followed.
I relinquished from triggering games on lotteries a long time ago since I discovered it to be a waste of time and effort, winning lotteries for the first time is referred to as "beginner's luck," and it is essentially what prompted you to achieve the required points. They don't have as many players as sports gambling, which rules the world of sports and realistic dealings. Lotteries have much lower odds of winning than gambling since gambling is based on data, whereas lotteries are dependent on guesses and developing hope in the mind to win.

The chances of winning a lottery is always 1-2 % but the outcome is always huge. It's fixed imho
1933  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can this be effective against the increasing numbers of gamblers? on: June 10, 2023, 01:39:14 AM
It's never effective in reducing the number of gamblers. Once there's a game, and bookies are offering betting odds, people will still want to bet. We cannot eliminate gambling from the equation as it makes watching the game more entertaining. Moreover, gambling isn't necessarily destroying lives, as long as we understand how to gamble responsibly.

If they don't want to increase the number of gamblers, then they should ban gambling in their country.
Gambling will never be completely eradicated from the globe, especially in sports, where huge numbers of fans are extreme frantic gamblers, bordering on addiction. They're growing on a daily basis, with the old ones informing the new ones about gambling, and from trying only one round, two to three rounds followed, and before a week was through, a total of 30 to 40 rounds were already triggered.  We understand how these things work; the only way out is to either decrease gambling to a minimum or to reduce the amount of money bet on games. Gambling with extra non-budget funds serves no purpose to increase tension.
1934  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: He Committed Suicide After Losing School fees, And That Of Friend To Betting.. on: June 10, 2023, 01:29:16 AM
It's also a shame to see some parents not to know what their children are doing in secret, i count it as being insensitive enough to know that your child is gamble being a student whereby gambling requires money to do it, also i will blame the parents the second time for the kind of upbringings the child was exposed to that has led to his thinking about comitting suicide, how did they arrived at training their child having that kind of mentality, he would have been so used to making friends or too used to an open environment full of different atrocities.
It's a huge loss to lose a child due to gambling; it's not fair, but the act has already been done. gaming only leads to critical loss; I've been there as a teen; on second pondering, we shouldn't blame the parents; some guardians are naive about their children's lives; I believe these kids followed bad company and were introduced through gambling. Suicide is the only chance for people who have been rendered worthless by their illness, not gambling which can be fixed and in less than no time, everything will come back normal; they fail to recognize that a problem shared is half solved.
1935  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is There A Time That You Calculated All Your loses In One Year on: June 10, 2023, 01:19:38 AM
There is no time to count all my losses that I have risked in both online and offline gambling.
Because I gamble not to count losses or gains but rather to seek pleasure or amuse myself and if one day I get a win, regardless of the amount, I consider it a bonus when it's time to have fun.
Counting losses in gambling will only make you regret it if the goal is to have fun, leave your mind to count again.
Gambling produces two outcomes: profits and losses. We calculated the number of times we've encountered profits in a year, which would undoubtedly make my day smoother; I don't bother with anything that doesn't provide me a peace of mind; we're the source of our own happiness. Losses are inescapable in the gambling sector; sitting down and calculating the large losses incurred throughout the year will only aggravate my pain and make my mind emotionally unstable, and it is not appropriate to disrupt our attitudes. I don't spend my time figuring out what will make me unhappy; instead, I spend it having fun; life is short, and we should make the most of it.
1936  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you guilty of promising not to gamble for specific days but back next day on: June 10, 2023, 01:01:58 AM
Almost everyone could've got this feeling atleast once. Whether the loss is big or small, when we loss the fund that is more important we used to think not to gamble anymore. For God's sake we won't follow it. Some get into it and loss more the very next day. With some gamblers it'll last for few weeks or months. After that they'll be the same as what they were previously. This is all about the addiction that gives them the hope of making little or big money out of gambling.
We can't quit gambling because of limited concerns, but we can minimize the amount of money we wager. Betting is more about making additional money for ourselves and providing for our wants, considering this source of income is 100% assured. Running and returning to the space, we can only prohibit the engagement in gambling for a short period of time, specifically when we get really bad hits from gambling, but sooner or later, it's like a voice that echoes in the mind, then we realized how much money we would have made if we stuck to the system, and this is what continues to happen and circulate around.
1937  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I am only trying to stay safe by gambling less on: June 09, 2023, 11:12:04 AM
I am not a gambling addict but some friends are making me look like one because I gamble less and they gamble more, it all started when we got into an argument that investing in Bitcoin is not the same as gambling, my friends who are gamblers, not full-time but more of a gambler than I am, are claiming that there is no difference between investing and gambling, they said if all you doing is investing money on Bitcoin you are no different to those who are gambling in a casino.

Still, I refuse this because I believe they are wrong, Bitcoin market has charts and I am playing with charts even if I am a full-time Bitcoin trader, all I need to do is read charts, and if I am good at it I will win vs gambling, where it's you vs a company which we can never tell if their games are completely fair or not.

Furthermore, I told them that Bitcoin investors tend to get positive results, while online casino gamblers tend to get negative results more than positive result, true or false?

I asked them to show me prove that they make more from gambling than they lose, none of them showed me, but I prove to them that I hardly have losses investing in Bitcoin lol .

Famz, drop your opinion on this, would you categorize these two as gambling? Because the only winning factor from Bitcoin investment is to just buy low and wait for a high price, it's not the same with casinos. Am I not making sense? I will like to hear from you.
Gambling is on a different level than the crypto space. They're both distinct in my opinion, however some outside perspectives portrayed their notion because they've observed traders who deteriorate the market by not being willing to learn and open trades due to FOMO.  Investing in bitcoin is extremely perilous, but we aim for massive gains and make every effort to trigger favorable entrances on the chart. Gambling is built on increased odds, and we have a lot of gambling addicts that wager blindly because they are addicted and stuck on a losing streak. Gambling is triggered by random thoughts and recommendations, whereas cryptocurrency is completely expanded with catastrophic research.
1938  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how to get over it on: June 09, 2023, 10:48:24 AM
I’ve turned $1,000 into $100,000
I’ve turned $6,000 into $80,000
I’ve turned $11,000 into $550,000
and recently I’ve turned $4,000 into $90,000

With nothing to show for it…I’m a sharp sports bettor, but I always end up going all in. I can never be satisfied until it’s too late. I always need to go all in.

I’ve been reading comments from my last post (turning $4,000 into $90,000 and losing the entire $90,000), and I can’t help but feel like shit.

How do I get over the countless failures? I’ve been chasing the $1,000,000 dream for years.
I'm quite impressed with how you managed to break your gambling records, using a solid planned out strategy to grow your capitals from small amounts to significant figures, despite the fact that you failed to keep track on it simply because you're desperate for more. I would suggest you take a break from gambling, and focus on your losses, digging out reasons why you're on a losing streak. Then You returned to the system, not in a state of urgency and never gamble with emotions or confidence, not expecting more because it's not built to always favor you, deep breathing is important. What stinks is gambling addiction; you can feel it draining you step by step.
1939  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is not a steady income haven on: June 09, 2023, 10:35:42 AM
Everything used way too much becomes an addiction, whether it's gambling or something else. If you don't know how to limit yourself and only spend a limited time and resources on a specific thing, you will get addicted to it pretty soon without you even realizing it. You will initially feel that it is all fine and you are doing everything under the limit and everything is under control, but that isn't actually the case.

Soon enough, you will realize that you are now totally addicted because even when you try, you can't stay away from that thing, especially if it's gambling, you can barely stop yourself from gambling and that is because you have become addicted already.
Stay put, gambling is never a viable choice for making revenue. I know what I'm saying, the entire process should not be trusted; it's unpredictable, and the odds vary. Despite the fact that both gamblers invest the same amount of capital on the game, the odds for option A gambler differ. Everyone works out a plan to ensure they have a steady source of income, and it astonished me that some considered gambling to be a means of placing food on their table, some are financially stable, while others are not. What matters is the technique used to gamble.
1940  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Don't gamble if you don't have patience on: June 09, 2023, 10:16:47 AM
Losing in gambling is a sure thing even though we will win because the win will not always be with us. After getting a win, our chances of winning again won't be great, so we have to realize that we have to reduce playing time. And when we can get a big win, it's better for us to stop and leave the casino so we don't get tempted by other offers.

If we haven't been able to get a win, we have to be patient because maybe our luck will come a few days or weeks later. We can just keep playing but we must remember that we have to manage the money to gamble. Otherwise, we will lose a lot of money.
Patience is the ultimate positive factor that always comes at the end, it enlightens us on making profits but do desperate ones after achieving their targets for the day, still go further to place bets on more games, just because they got lucky in their previous stakes, they thought they had mastered the entire space, it's unpredictable, we just make random decisions on games that have a 50/50 chance of profit or loss. Patience is a virtue, gambling is on another level, it messes with our cerebral cortex; redirecting us to having naïve hopes on our wagers, I don't anticipate in it because it dealt with me earlier this year. Everyone has a lesson to learn before attaining gaming experience, and I've surpassed mine.
