I have even seen beer drinking bars night clubs that are close to learning center. And as you said, each student knows why they are in school. When I was in school, I didn't attend any of those things plus gambling. And even if I count the time I visited gambling centers it would be very few occasions.

And even though the gambling centers are not close to the learning environment those serious gamblers would still go there and play games. And when it is far they would prefer it because nobody would see them because it is far. But there is disadvantages and advantages of being far and close to the school. You attend class on time if it is close or you attend class late if it is far.

Though I struggled to understand what you wrote because of the typographical errors in your write up, I think I was still able to get your message which corresponds with my belief about succeeding in gambling. Gambling no matter how modern day influencers tries to package it isn't a career for anyone to thrive on but a gaming system that involves the stake of money or valuables to either win back the already staked money alongside the extra gains or lose the whole money. That's my own definition of gambling and that's why I would never advise anyone to engage in it as a source of income but should see gambling as an engagement for fun. Like you rightly said, unless you're the owner or an agent of a gambling company, you should never think you can become successful with gambling.

If we start from the idea that gambling is for relaxing and having a different time, then it is the best way to see the casino, because if it is from that point of view it is healthy, now if they see it as a way to make money and they get it into their heads that they can be profitable there with this activity, that is when everything bad begins, because first they make mistakes and get carried away building castles in the air, that is why the concept of a casino Should be clear to them, it is a company, a business that guarantees its profits, we simply seek to win in the midst of all those things that they have already established such as the aforementioned and the house advantage.

Online gambling is huge, folks. Easy, convenient, and on your phone. I love fun as much as the next person, but we must be sensible. Too easy to get caught up in the game when money is just numbers on a screen. Pulling out your gains and holding cash is good. Makes it real. But lets continue. Why not educate gamblers money management? It goes beyond winning and losing. Respect your money.

Think about it. You win a few cash and get a message stating, "Hey, remember that vacation you wanted to take?" Maybe you lose and are reminded to be careful. Change the game so gambling is fun but doesnt consume you.

In business you might lose your money but it's not something that happens often because many times we do get profits. But in gamble it's very hard to make a good career from it because it's what can make you to lose everyday if you are not lucky. Gamble is not like an investment or business that can profit a gambler but one might be lucky to have success from gamble when he gets lucky.

Simply think that everything has risks and in football, too, scoring an own goal is just an accident that no one wants to happen. To say who will regret the most, I think the player who scored the own goal will be the one who regrets the most because just because of that incident, his team had to concede an unnecessary goal. Therefore, criticizing him not only does not make the situation better, but also pushes him into a corner.

Everything has risks and betting is no exception, accepting fate and letting go of failure is what we should do instead of getting angry, and cursing...

I wouldn't want to mention any name of the free site that gives predicts scores for instance, you would have to subscribe to regularly get matches from these site and after which you would use them according to how it's predicted in those site to stake your game. Could this be real and is there anyone who already benefited from those site?

Okay I break it down; I visited the hospital days ago for a check-up, and based on our economic system you had to give some tokens to the doctor or nurse to quickly have you checked. I do this sometimes twice in a month to observed my overall body system. You know I can't gamble with my health neither can I stake any with my health. On the process while waiting a very Rich looking man walk in, although I can't tell if he's actually wealthy or not but I was only interesting in his discussion over a phone call... saying..'Did you subscribed to link I gave you? Don't you know when you subscribe with the amount they text you game almost every day, there winning is sure and you won't lose any of their games'.

I had to recall first that, in gambling no one can give accurate score of any game even though if that person must give it could only be a 50/50 game except for game with less odds or thereabouts, but what I finally noticed is that he is trying to call people's attention maybe to see if someone would run to him asking about the site but unluckily within the period I was there no one asked him neither did I asked him but was mean to raise this topic over here to know if those site do give winning games regularly or not.

Feel free to contribute with experience in such site.

Gambling is really risky, and if there's a poor person who bets everything to try their luck, I think that person is foolish, especially if they’re hoping for instant wealth just through luck. We all know that gambling is just a game of numbers and odds, and often, those odds aren't in our favor. Society should be wiser and realize there are plenty of other ways to improve our lives without getting caught up in the illusions sold by casinos and slot machines.

Instead of risking money that could be used for daily needs or for the kids’ education, it's better to invest in knowledge or skills that can open up more opportunities. Relying on gambling is just a scam that can lead to more suffering.

So, let’s remind ourselves and those around us that the road to success can't be bought with a gambling ticket, but must be traveled with hard work, perseverance, and smart decisions.

Gambling is not bad but the individuals make it so. And mostly the irresponsible and addicted gamblers make it bad. Those who are gently playing gamble with a responsible way are doing well in the society and also gambling has helped many ordinary people in the society. Many have used gambling to build houses and start business. So it is not really bad in the society but it is the gamblers spoiled the name "gambling".

Why people think that gambling is bad because those cult boys would do bad things in the society and finally they are in most times caught in the casino center by police so they called it as bad in the society. But it is not.

This morning I have been told that an old friend had problems in the past with gambling and, thinking about it, I realised that the cause was exactly the one you mentioned.

I have always had a terrible luck in gambling, so I will never play for the money. But those who won and tasted the sweet flavor of the victory have to find it more difficult to think like that. Massive or not. Who knows, if it is really massive he/she'll never have to gamble again.

It's true you will not be taxed for converting USDT to BTC or vice versa, but if you sold your BTC or any other altcoins higher than what you win from gambling, you will need to pay capital gains tax.

Let's say you convert $5,000 to BTC, you will get 0.074 BTC.

In sports you're betting in USD, not in BTC, so you will see $5,000 in your account, you stake all of your money on football match where the odds is @2.00.

Turns out you win, which mean your money now $10K or 0.148 BTC.

You choose to withdraw your coins to exchange or wallet, then you wait until bull season.

Bitcoin price up, your 0.148 BTC now worth $20K.

If you sell all of your coins, you need to pay both taxes, $5K is the profit from gambling and $10K is the profit from capital gains.

One thing about gambling is that aslong there are people losing there are also people winning , most time the reason why some people have`nt achieved anything from gambling, is due to their greed of not knowing when to stop . for instance you will see some gamblers after winning a huge jackpot they will be like let me just round the number up (use the money to win more), while doing so he or she endup losing some portion of the money he won from hitting the jackpot at that moment his aim will change to how he can get back that he has lost but doing so he or she made the more tense by losing all the money he won.

that is why we must always put our emotions in check before going into gambling and stuff so that won`t endup gambling with emotions.

Not really. Germany hasn't achieved any great success in the past few years.
In both 2018 and 2022 world cups, there were eliminated in the group stage. In EURO 2020, they were elimianated in round of 16 and in 2024, there were eliminated in quarter-finals.


Germany moved up three places from 16th place to 13th place.

They are only getting rich from the money they make from selling predictions, and those who bought the predictions are not sure if the result is going to be good or bad, which means they are going to lose on both sides. The money spent to buy the predicted score and also the money that was staked will all be gone. It makes no sense to spend money buying predictions that you are not even sure about the result. Some people got lucky that their bought prediction gave them winning a few times, and as a result, they gave their whole hearts to it.

I think I understand where you are coming from. Mostly, we can see how other exchanges operate as well. Maybe it comes from the part where you can deposit money but you cannot withdraw the funds unless you submit KYC. I think it's their responsibility now, as a business, to have clean money come into their system and operate and do it accordingly.

They shouldn't really be afraid of max wins as long as the money came correctly to their business, if not, it's not the casino's fault. Maybe they just keep it as a bank roll but the user that deposited it should be responsible as well if they were to withdraw their money.

Yeah people have different but I guess sometime peer pressure could contribute something that those good people will be influence to follow what other people do. We see that exist since there are people who want to ride up somethings they don't want to be left out by trend so even if they don't hang out much on those people doing this activity but if he see that people do this are enjoying then for sure that they might get curious to try what those people experienced. Then after that there's a chance that they might get hook and like to continue what they are doing.

Also its illegal to put a gambling center or betting shops near on learning institutions since it will not bring anything good to young adults and for sure that they will be taken out in that jurisdiction.

This often happens in the ad threads of some famous forum sites, because there are people who always win and post their winnings, and this partly incentivizes people, for example, if they win at the slots this makes them think that if that player could, then any player can, so this incentivizes them to do this activity, or what is important is as you say, do it but with total responsibility, if there is no responsibility it is better not to do it, I have always thought that anyone who does this type of activities has to be very moderate when betting, because losing money is not pleasant at all.

You are right, mate. I discovered that some people don't even think about the risk that is attached to gambling; they are too forwarded only with the thought of making a huge win from gambling; they don't just realize that they can lose a lot too in gambling. Some people don't think rationally because they actually believe that there are some strategies that can be used to win the casino, or maybe they can buy sure predictions from experts.
