I have been questioning the Crypto market for quite some time, and I tried to invest a few hundred dollars in it a year ago, and then forgot about it seeing it was too confusing to me. After a year, my contact called me, and said I had XX,XXX of USDT to be transferred to my control. After we exchanged addresses, and he sent me the funds in tether USDT, and my wallet now says I have XX,XXX amount of USDT received.
The problem now is, I can't seem to do anything with it. Its on the ethereum network, and says I have tether USDT , but I cant seem to swap, send it, or cash it out. The amount is greyed out on my transactions page of my coinbase wallet app, and the assets page says Zero funds. I did add 10 dollars to my ethereum account to be able to mess around with it a bit trying to figure this out.
Is this a scam amount that isn't really there? Can someone explain I am very confused.
I've read some of the advice and suggestions of people but I will not call this a scam yet unless you prove it to be so because explanations could be confusing at times. First, ensure that it is the right Coinbase account you downloaded because that guy could have deceived you from the beginning. Second, try to contact Coinbase about this, I am sure they will have something to say. I can't be doing the back-and-forth question with you, but still, something could be missing, as a while ago, Coinbase asked a lot of users to move their funds away from it, but can still use the self-custody type. If you never moved the money that time, you might experience a thing like this, although I can't guarantee that since you still have access in your case but just can't do anything with the money. However, before you go through the stress of contacting Coinbase for hope, why not ask the guy to furnish you with the transaction ID to start with? |

Those ups and downs you mentioned are what make trading to be very interesting and I can't imagine how it would be very boring if there were no such things, undeserved rewards would be too much. Trading is just like a rewarding puzzle, if you solve it rightly, you get to earn the rewards, but they aren't always easy. Although it doesn't look like that from the outside, I mean how the whole thing is structured, but in reality, it is tough.
This is the situation where your money could be blown to your face pretty fast if you misjudged the condition or/and misacted, and this has to do with a whole lot more than just you or the trading itself. It has to do with the theory, practice, real-time interpretation, management, psychology and coordination. If anyone misses it in any or all of these, such can't secede in it.
Initially, it was a trading secret I was pursuing not knowing that there is no such thing, but that success in trading lies within.

Some persons says gambling is not an investment due to its risky levels but a game of entertainment while some persons says investments are likely to be gambling because you don't foresee the future and can't predict the later outcome.
I think I am exploring in this gambling spaces of risk bearers. While being aware about the techniques in the Ponzi Schemes of attracting the audience to invest lower amount and earns higher, the Investors runs greedily out of their emotional controls and then Invest more than they could afford to loose just because they are attracted by the returns of interests.
Now I am one of the audience (investor) who accepted to face the risk too with my own technical contrast that if it works as thought it is assumed that I won but if it doesn't, then it is assumed that I was late and has lost it.
Now, introduced to an ongoing Ponzi Scheme which I got interest on but then, I tends to know how long the platform has been lunched and the number of participants so I would know the risk level I could be, then I learnt it is about a month launched with about 200+ participants.
Drastically, I feel they are not closed to hitting the scam (platform cashes) button yet because they have less number of participants with minimum of funds in the platform yet which determines the factorizations of them considering to hit the scam buttons.
Now, the platform is programed on daily interests accumulations which can be withdrawn on daily basis depended on individuals decisions.
I already invested $20 on two of my accounts which I have also made a total of $26 in less than 3 days through the daily withdrawal methods and yet my daily interests keep accumulating and I am up to make more cashouts. Lol.
At this level, I hope if anything compromised maybe they finally hits on the scammed buttons I am of no lost but has profited. So, I awaits them to do their worse. 😆.
This is the level States of mind this gambling space has inspired and aspired me to risks bearing. By so doing, I undertake this circumstances to be an investment because it has the potential to yield incomes and otherwise, it is accompanied with a gambling system because it comes with some analytical mindsets with indictments of greeds if not in control of your emotions. So, you either not invest with what you can't afford to loose or you faces emotional breakdowns.
This is my exploit and diverse in gambling of chasing profits.
Investing in a project that exhibits the characteristics of a Ponzi scheme would indeed be highly risky and is generally considered a scam. The structure of such schemes is unsustainable and illegal, as they don't generate any actual profit. Im not sure why you did it, but for sure it's not an investment and not gambling. With my understanding of this, the investor has tabled his plan very well, so nothing bad will happen to him eventually, he will only enrich himself and disappear just like his predecessor in this kind of ignoble game called Ponzi. Ponzi is actually illegal in all ramifications and I don't think there is a country today that will not frown at it, notwithstanding, it lingers still and might continue to be so, the government of many countries could be so fake. This scheme is so rampant in underprivileged countries where development is still very low, where a lot of supposed establishments are planning one or two schemes in a way that restructures the Ponzi scheme and continues to scam people unchallenged. It is so unspeakable because the government even folds their arms and let it continue that way. Some will even conduct all the activities through the regular bank payments unchallenged, that's awful. This is why I conclude that the Ponzi scheme will remain, and either illegal or not, it is people who should be careful about it, no government is coming for Ponzi schemers. How many have they dealt with among the thousands of Ponzi schemes all around the world? Above all, if anyone has the conscience, such will never invest in such a terrible arrangement. |

For me it depends on what is the most and easiest access for gamblers whether online or offline though I don't have the data for each games but I think card games will be on this list as it can be played online and offline. Here in my place and country as a whole it is the most common gambling game you will find on each towns aside from cock fighting, cara y cruz and lottery which is not as common as card games do.
There's no type of gambling that is not addictive and there's also non that has less or more of gambling addicts. As long as an individual can be addicted in gambling, they can actually be addicted in any form of gambling activities, whether online or offline. It's takes discipline and determination for a gambler not to be addicted. That's a fact, and the earlier people realise this, the better. Gambling is not a child's play, although some aspects of it could be better than others, but in all, gambling will always be risky and that "risky" context alone can bring out a psychological chain reaction. It also depends on the person in question, for this, we let it out more than each other and this is irrespective of whether you are gambling online or offline, or with a small or big amount of money, if you are such that is so weak in controlling your emotion, it becomes a problem. I can only advise all gamblers to be well-prepared for it or entirely avoid it. Gambling is never by force, it will always be a choice and the moment you discover that your capability is inadequate for it, you had better quit it. That said, in preparing for it as well, your style of gambling, the budget and management have to be well-tailored. And if the gambler doesn't specifically work on his psychological and leaves it to his nature or some random call, it becomes another issue. |

Those who have gambling bankroll or gambling budget are not many and only few and majority of them are just playing when they decided to play gamble. I myself I don have a budget or bankroll for gambling and I play whenever I have cash but the only different is that I have self-control and not addicted so once I finished the amount set for the game then I go home. And one thing I also discovered for gamblers is that, those who are working and have enough money can plan for gambling bankroll or budget and not for peasants. A peasant gambler play according to what he have.
That sounds like your style and it is good especially if you are not addicted to gambling, there can't be a fear of irresponsibility because of a lack of plan toward it. I often do this as well, but that is when I visit a physical gambling house, otherwise, I deposit my money into the gambling platform and wager it there, so I can't afford not to have a viable plan on how I will spend the money. If I don't, it could be an issue because gambling could bring out the emotion in us and before we know it, we will renege from our plans and this can be so disastrous. It is fine if you have $2 in your pocket and just randomly decided to gamble with it and do that once in a while Whether you win or lose, life goes on, and you will not be so pained about it as this is single money that is not attached to others. But if you deposit $350 in the account and plan to wager $20 per bet, if there is no plan on the bankroll, you might not know the time that you will change it to $100 per wager or even bet the remaining money due to emotion. This is why having plans is so good, but also, discipline and determination are key in making sure that the plans are strictly adhered to. |

Of course, if we talk about gambling then there will be no difference between rich and poor people in terms of opportunities, it is difficult to explain it in detail, but what is certain is that everyone has their own lucky times that can lead them to victory, rich and poor people still can win, but perhaps by a different amount.
But still the problem of who will win more often between rich and poor will never be known, the reason is clear because luck is something that can never be controlled which will only come by chance without you knowing, meaning there is no element consistency in terms of achieving victory.
Simply put, whoever you are, rich or poor, you have the opportunity to win, but you also have the possibility to lose, the only difference between the two people is in terms of the amount of winnings because it is clear that rich people bet bigger amounts than other people. poor, but we must understand that rich people can also experience far greater losses than poor people.
True, and at the end of the day rich and poor both can end up with zero in their accounts. It doesn't really matter with how much you started if your ending balance is zero. The difference might be that the rich person might have a larger buffer and stop before it's too late though. That is a very good standpoint, but still, when the account becomes zero, the rich will still have much more to fall back on, but that may not be so easily said of the poor, especially if the poor doesn't use his senses so well while risking. From the onset, I do not take sides in the two categories, and this is because whether poor or rich, there is always a threshold limit where what you do financially could pinch you regardless of how rich you are. So if this threshold limit is being careless about by either of the two, there is no way they will not feel it. Now, for the poor, the threshold limit could be just $20, while it could be $100,000 for the rich. So whether you are rich or you are poor, you should gamble wisely and calculatively and never allow your status to deceive you. What am I saying in a nutshell? Of course, the rich will always risk more by volume and the poor risk less by volume, but in the end, the proportion of their risks often forces their feelings out regardless of their status (rich or poor). It is the difference in volume that usually blinds us. |

When a player devalues money, he is actually not in control of himself anymore. Looking at what you just wrote it's fine to say that gamblers who don't notice they've won some funds, instead focus on staying in the game, end up losing out completely, both their winnings and deposited money. Okay it's fine to add that gamblers should at least take out their winnings and let the deposit stay. This would help the player to at least harness lots of control on the money won via gambling.
Thereby, spending the withdrawn money on other utilities and then wagering the remaining bankroll, hoping to make some wins afterwards. There're some gambling strategy that helps the player to complete his designated time of gambling, lets assume, a player decides to gamble 5 hours a day for 2 weeks and designs a bankroll for it, his winning shouldn't be taken out until the 2 weeks period is attained. This helps the player not to run out of money while on his gambling journey.
That's true, sometimes when they succeed in getting a win, what they do is not withdraw it, but they hold on to be able to get an even bigger win again, but it's not surprising that when they do that, what happens is they lose completely, as you said. because I don't think the casino will allow its players to continue winning, even if they continue to gamble when they have won, of course it is very likely that the casino will take back the winnings they have earned, because I think that when the player has won, it means the casino has given them an opportunity. for them to make good use of it, but unfortunately they couldn't take advantage of that victory so what they did was an action that had a big chance of making them lose completely. quite good advice, I think everyone has their own strategy, especially with the winnings they have obtained, sometimes they think of withdrawing some of it, risking it all back, but what is more appropriate is to withdraw all the winnings that have been obtained, it's just that this action may be carried out by gamblers who have full awareness of gambling. In my opinion, it is rare for gamblers to withdraw all the winnings they have obtained, because even though they have a certain target, usually they can still change their minds so that they forget the initial target set. It all depends on the gambler, what to do it. We all only speculate on the best idea that would be beneficial to the gambler and reduce stress on his end. Because with the funds which has been withdrawn, the gambler still have the liability of needing to gamble again. It changes the perspective of any other idea directed to this decision. Taking out money from casinos after winning makes no much difference. I could think of a gambler who spent his gambling money on game consoles coupled with gambling, he went broke and probably at some point if he got addicted he'd be tempted to sell those items to generate gambling money. This is on point, no one can use a certain way as the basis for all things about gambling or the gambler, what works for me may not work for you. All I prefer is to have my own gambling plan and make sure that I actualise it to the letter. It also gets better if the plan has been made before the gambling starts at all, and this should definitely include the deposits, wagering amount per day, a week etc, the number of times to bet per day/session, how the withdrawal is to be effected, whether it is immediately after winning or in accumulations. The issue with most gamblers is that they do not have such budgetary plans thereby just following what their emotions are telling them at that time rather than professionalism. For this, withdrawing immediately upon winning can't be the yardstick to qualify the good acts of gamblers, and I will certainly not say that it is bad either. But for me, mine is different, I accumulate my bettings' winnings, and at times, it could be more than 4 months before I remember to make a single withdrawal (if there is any at all...lol). This is often possible with the help of another source of income, it is those who are desperate about gambling that are really affected with the withdrawal syndrome. |

Personally I am not interested in how to double money because the results are not certain to be good and according to our expectations I prefer to play fairly and not force things that are not in accordance with my own abilities.
For example, I want to bet I will look at the contents of my wallet first and if I am sure I will play but if I am still in doubt then it is better not to.
And if at that time I win then I will take and immediately cash out the winnings to enjoy with happiness and return when my condition and situation are back to normal.
chasing a doubling of your balance is very dangerous, you can play too hard and end up losing everything.Of course, every player would like to double their balance in 1-2 games, but this happens extremely rarely, it is better to play slowly and not focus only on x2.If you play only for profit, the end will be very predictable, most likely it will only be losses. Of course, chasing and doubling the balance to continue gambling is a very big mistake and the consequences will also be very fatal and dangerous in the life of a gambler. If there is a gambler who really doubles the balance, then he will immediately experience bad luck and problems repeatedly because luck in gambling is very difficult to get and only defeat is often received. Doubling the balance is not the issue as there are many fortunate gamblers who are doing it, but the issue is having the mindset that you want to double the balance, this is where the desperation sets in if such a goal can't be achieved. This is why I advise gamblers to always have neutral minds towards it, otherwise, a lot would infest their psychology and it might be too late when they realise that. Gambling relies mostly on luck, and no matter how you believe you are smart, you will always face gambling challenges. This is where the right mindset is needed to avoid emotions that would cause more issues. If a gambler for example faces the challenges of repeated losses, such gamblers should at least take a break for that moment, any attempt to try to gamble and gamble will only result in losses and losses. Also, if a gambler mismanages at a point due to aggression towards gambling especially for high money-making reasons, such a gambler should know that he lacks discipline, and that is what he should work on to fix. But believing that you can be perfect in doubling the money always, then you will be perfect in having more losing streaks too. |

Just tell us one casino review site that you consider the best. I would like to rank them based on the results of the poll, with the list compiled from the replies here. Maybe we can use this information to help newbies easily find the best casinos in the space.
Sadly, most people do not vote their desire on this thread despite having over 50 posts already, nevertheless, I've voted for Bitcointalk and I will do it a million times over if asked repeatedly. Ever since I started my online business and other activities, reviews have helped me a lot, this is what I can thank for not being a victim of the internet for more than 20 years of usage. For this, I don't take reviews lightly, but the source of the review matters so well. The ones I like are those where people are free to say whatever they feel or experienced about the company, and forums are part of it. Even among forums, integrity matters as it is in the hierarchy, which is why I trust Bitcointalk better. The way we review and speak our minds is mindblowing on its own, so I trust this forum to a high degree in this regard. I hope we can continue that without fear or favouritism. |

Something just came up in my mind and I feel it will be good for me to bring it up here because it can benefit some people to make a better decision or adjust gambling habits.
Do you take record of every game played for the year or month or week, then calculate the number of total games that was won and lose. I feel calculating the total amount of lose can help one to adjust gambling habit of playing frequently and also to reduce the amount of money that is spent on gambling. I think when the amount of lose is too much in gambling it is either affecting one financially or turning one to become addictive to gambling.
Do you think keeping record of gambling activity will play a good role to someone's gambling lifestyle?
The truth is that I've never taken a record of my gambling activities and I don't think I will start now because I see no reason for it. But regarding your question, I say that it can't be bad keeping records. Keeping records whether useful or not can't harm you, especially such like this that can be used to evaluate one's performance for improvement. But I hope the keeper of this kind of record can actually utilize it because if you keep it from now till 50 years, if you are not finding the purpose for it to achieve the goal of evaluation, then that is a waste. I said that because I have a few friends who keep records at random, but most times, the moment they have the record is the moment they forget it there, to the point that they have too many records stored but still not improving in their gambling. On another thought too, this can lightly be recorded in our minds, and when we are serious about a change or improvement, we can easily achieve that without recording too much. I often do this silently and immediately I cite an error, I correct it in my next try and it has been positive in all my online risky activities. |

Any gambling or bookmaking site contains a warning that, when betting, players should not rely on the idea that the game will solve all their financial problems.
I have been gambling for a very long time but I have not noticed this statement before. Maybe it could be oversight but indeed it is a wonderful statement from casinos that thought it wise to warn their customers. I have always advocated for taking gambling as a source of passive income and gambling with spared funds. Unfortunately, not many people are doing this, the reason we see all sort of stories about gambling addiction. The temptation to take gambling as a shortcut to affluence is very high but it is not usually what it seems. I considered gambling as a source of passive income only at the beginning of my journey in the world of gambling and I believe that this is one of the main mistakes of novice gamblers, because the more you play gambling the more you realize how wrong this statement. Playing gambling you risk money, in addition, the chances of winning are lower than the chances of losing - this is the system of gambling. What kind of passive income source is it if you do not invest money and get interest, but gamble on it? In my opinion, warning about the risks of gambling is a very good practice for customers of casinos and bookmakers. - Others say that if you want to throw away or waste money, you should go to a casino or put money in because, usually, the majority of players here are losers and only a few can be said to actually win a large amount. Actually, everyone who gambles in casinos online or even in land-based casinos experiences winning. That's why they still lose in the end, and the amount they win is not that big. But with the small winnings they experience in gambling, this becomes the way for them to stay longer in the casino as long as they have something to match in gambling. Gambling has very good and bad parts, it is we who need to plan aright to derive the benefit of the good part and avoid the issues of the bad part. But I warn everyone, no matter what you are doing in gambling, try to know yourself in relation to casinos first, especially your limits in everything. Now, in finances, we should work so much on that so that there will not be an interruption to the point of people saying we are irresponsible in gambling, everything has to be moderated no matter what. And talking about the use of a small amount of money to bet, well, this is a very good idea if the gambler can stick to it. I do not know why a reasonable person would be gambling more than 10% of his earnings monthly, or the worst 15% of it monthly. Anyone doing otherwise is only inviting issues for himself. Gambling should never be taken as a main means of earning or be handled to the point that anyone will get desperate about it as if it is the means by which they will be rich in life. The moment gamblers start thinking this way and working towards it is the moment they will start failing woefully in it to the point that they will not only be frustrated but also get devastated. This is anybody's choice though but it will be shameful not to heed this simple advice and I wonder why people let gambling control them so much. |

I heard about gambling therapy and it prick my mind to which I asked myself when last did I go for gambling therapy? I could recall and that's because I have never had one since I believe am gambling responsibly.
Lol...You need to stop making me laugh now as you are contradicting yourself. Fine, you can share this valuable piece like this for us to know on the forum and also decide whether we need it or not. But you saying it pricks your mind as if you are missing something despite being a responsible gambler is what I do not understand. Once you know you do not have issues in your gambling lifestyle, I will advise you to disregard everything related to this but what more on yourself to be better. This is particularly true unless you just want to learn from it and not rehabilitate yourself per se. And of course, if you need to learn from this, there is no need to feel guilty about anything still. |

In my opinion, the possibility of getting rid of addiction will always be a possibility in cases like this, this goes back to each individual. Usually, people who come back to play want to catch up on their losses from gambling and are not yet able to give up the money they lost in their gambling game. Indeed, the impact of gambling is very large, in cases like this they can do anything without thinking about the impact on themselves. There is a big possibility that criminal cases will definitely increase and have the biggest impact and more and more people will do it. Yes, don't borrow money from your relatives, in my opinion this is a much better thing, if you borrow, of course this will be a burden for you in the future.
This is a kind of bait idea or situation where the gambling sites leave you with so much hope and aspirations of wanting to come back and win every day. This is the reason why I'm mostly scared of the gambling sites and games as an entirety as they can bait you to the point that you will be addicted to gambling with them. I have a friend who is addicted to gambling and will only stake little funds with the intention of winning big and at the end of the day, the ticket will get cut for only a single game of the whole stakes. Psychologically, he's tempted to play the more while he loses perpetually. If the casinos are baiting you, why not refuse to be baited? All I see here is that many are just weak in their psychology and allow themselves to be played. And for me, the casinos are exonerated here because they will not force you to accept any terms and conditions or play their way, it is the gambler who would see it and say, okay, I am in for this or not. For this, anything that comes from it is nobody's headache but the gambler. Gamblers should just go for the money they can afford to lose, the strategy that works best for them and the management that can preserve both their psychology and account portfolio. Otherwise, they will complain from now till tomorrow and nothing will change/happen because anything we do in casinos is our choice, everyone has the opportunity to quit too. |

I'm back after a short break... Today, I would like to ask you these 2 simple questions:
1) What problems have you recently encountered regarding online gambling? (or what have you disliked recently?)
2) How would you solve this problem?
Let me answer these questions together. For me, I do not have any issues with my casinos and sportsbooks and I do not think I have ever had it because I always do what is right and be one step ahead of them in their excesses. But for so many people's issues that I've seen, what I would like to talk about are the KYC and the VPN issues which I believe casinos/sportsbooks should be fairer about than what they are doing now. 1. For the KYC, I think they should mandate the completion immediately after registration, or in the worst case allow the customer to gamble with them for a maximum duration of 3 months with regular weekly reminders to assure their seriousness. Otherwise, such a gambler should be asked to withdraw his money, not that they will seize the money to themselves until it is done. That is never fair to me. 2. For the VPN, I think a whole lot of cheating is attached to it. If they are not afraid of VPNs for hacking reasons, I do not think it is fair to use them as a means to seize customer's money. The worst, send their money back to them and end the cooperation with them, which is justifiable. Also, if multiple accounts are detected due to VPN, they have the system, so why not investigate? I am sure the true investigation will reveal whether or not they are the same person instead of acting harshly. |

In my country (Australia) ALL gambling winnings and profits are 100% tax free.
You don't have to declare it because it is considered a hobby.
In the USA and other countries gambling winnings are treated the same as income and gambling companies are required by law to withhold federal income taxes.
If I had to pay taxes I would quit gambling. The risk wouldn't be worth it.
Does your country tax gambling winnings and if so do you declare it yourself or does the gambling operator withhold the taxes on your behalf?
What you wish for is not going to be possible because we have different individuals thinking differently in the corridor of power in different countries, this is why the tax laws and other laws are not the same. You have a point too, but your points do not particularly have to be that way. In every good environment, I do not see the reason why we should not pay tax on all our incomes, we often do not know the benefits of this, but if you are in a good country where the system is working, please, appreciate it and find all means to support the government and the fellow citizens, especially in the area of taxed. I said that because I am in a country where the system is not working, we envy you guys. On our part, any reason for us not to even pay the tax will be so welcomed as our government can't account for anything but corruption. Now, in a country where the government is not asking for a gambling tax, indirectly, you might still be paying it. This is because they tax the casinos/sportsbooks very much, and your losses are included, and since most people are losing, the government is not losing. Either they tax you or they tax the casino/sportsbook, they still have the money. But it is fair to only tax an individual with their gross profits, and not on the immediate ones. This means that if you had lost $100+$100+$100 initially and now gained $400 later, you should be taxed from the excess $100. |

For me, I would rather like to spend more money on the installation of a very good anti-virus with multiple protection purposes than risk using a VPN with casinos. This is especially risky if they clearly state in their terms and conditions that they forbid it. Is that not looking for trouble? Using my local IP anywhere I go in the world puts my mind at rest, and with anti-virus, I am secured pretty fine, which was what I was looking for with a VPN.
I think the comparison is a bit flawed since the nature of those things is quite different. Not to mention everyone values their money and what things to buy differently. If you use Windows buying anti-virus software is a bit redundant since Windows Defender is quite effective, though discussing this further would probably derail the thread. But I agree that you should not use a VPN if the website states they don't allow it in the first place. I'm pretty sure this is probably my third or fourth time saying the same thing in this thread. In general, clients of cryptocurrency casinos may have a huge number of reasons why they are forced to use a VPN. The reasons may, in a large number of cases, not even be that the person himself, the player, seeks to maintain his confidentiality. Often, many casino clients simply cannot access the casino website at all without using a VPN for reasons of a general political nature. At the same time, the player does not even have the goal of keeping his identity a secret. So it is worth taking into account the interests of such players. And it would be right for the casino not to be too strict about the use of VPN by players. As I understand it, most casinos do just that. And in any case, a strict ban on the use of VPNs immediately and significantly reduces the number of casino players who decide to restrict entry to their site by prohibiting the use of VPNs. You have a very good point and if I started stating the reasons why gamblers might need to use VPN, I might still be numbering 7 or so. Can we now say those gamblers with varied reasons why they use it are not for any good but to cheat the casinos? Definitely No. Each case has to be treated differently. What I see here is that most casinos are overbearing about this, the excesses are too much. Some are not even stating it in their terms and conditions but will enforce it nonetheless, these are not just fair. What I realise is that they've seen it as a means to cheat their customers to make more money unquestioned, so they often use it whether it is done ignorantly by the customer or not, which is bad. This is also happening elsewhere and let me use Binance for an example, initially, if you use a VPN with them, you are free, but now, if you use it, your account could be banned immediately. Why is still so difficult for them if not for using the opportunity to confiscate people's money? Till today with my traditional forex brokers, they do not care about the use of the VPN, do you know why? They have been in the business for so long and since it was well-planned and strictly regulated, they tread carefully. This is not the same with exchanges and casinos, this is why they are doing as they like. However, as it is now, their customers are just like voiceless people at their mercy, so it is better we avoid the use of VPN and stop claiming fairness with them which will never get us anywhere since they are the Boss, except for a few among them who just have integrity. |

It makes me wonder about the wage rates the personal bodyguards of a prime minister are, to be honest. If someone is willing to jeopardize their job and the future of their career as a bodyguard, then it must be side the risk of getting caught and get their name tainted is proportional to whatever he is getting from the government of the United Kingdom, don't you think?
The wage may not be so high but the prestige and privileges attached to the position will be enormous, these are not worth losing. And certainly, he will be punished, though it might not be as we think, nonetheless, this will always stain his record book. And after retiring from this job, someone like him may not get any private security job anymore because his record will always haunt him. Anyways, when comes to being a bodyguard trust is crucial, I am afraid this guy is going to get in serious trouble if found guilty... He may even miss his job after he realizes what he did.
Hahaha...force and paramilitary have their ways of dealing with this kind of situation. After all, it is not a treasonable offence, I believe he will remain in his job but in a different office. Also, he can either be demoted, suspended, or transferred to a very unfavourable place.
I assume he heavily betted on the date, enough to get a couple of millions of sterling Pounds, who knows.
I do not assume that because he might not even have access to that kind of big money. What I realise is that he saw an opportunity and he wanted to use it. We are humans and a light risk like that which cannot affect the direct security of the PM can still be thought of, but the issue is that he handled the play unprofessionally. It is not today that leaks are happening that can't be ever traced to who leaked it. |

Committing mistakes can helps us to becomes wise using gambling as an entertainment so we can knows that we should use gambling for have fun in our spare time. We don't have to playing gambling every time we have a spare time because we will do other things that we can to prevents our minds thinks about gambling.
Well we must see things as they are , first the mistakes in many people make things different, for those who make them learn and others simply do not Assimilate them , do not Accept them and Begin to make bets as big as they can afford with their money, and some lose money just because of those impulses, so in the casino and in any game we must control Ourselves , at the end of the day what we lose the most is our capital that is so necessary for our lives, that should be avoided, that is why we always talk about the money that we have to lose in a casino , hence we should not risk more Money. Thank you for this, mine is that we should not because of the mindset that mistakes or failure can be a stepping stone to start relaxing, I just dislike advocating weakness and some people will misuse this point if care is not taken. These people could be wrongly getting their motivation when they make mistakes/fail, that can't be good, but we can't avoid it, many gullible people will misjudge the whole point. From the beginning to the end while gambling, whether we fail or not, we should always be at alert and be up and doing, we should be very careful and thorough in all our betting engagements and leave no stone unturned. But if there were mistakes along the line, fine, we can correct them heroically, but not the ones we will take for granted, I hope you get the point. Such mistakes will remain uncorrected in this case which will not do the person any good. The moment you make mistakes, write them down or in your mind, then correct them ASAP. If it is an error in the budget and management today, do not make the same mistake tomorrow, change it and also enforce the change immediately. That is the only way this context can help gamblers, and not how many are just taking it here. |

So between the two where are you more hyper-focused and how many hours do you spend on one compared to the other?
Gambling is an interesting activity and I have gambled on both online and offline gambling platforms before, but I prefer to gamble online. Whenever I visit any casino house and I decided to gamble, I easily get distracted whenever I see people around me. I prefer to be in my room and gamble with my mobile phone, I do offer myself snacks and drinks just to make myself feel relaxed, and not to make me get tired of gambling. I know we all have our preference, but I prefer to gamble online rather than visiting physical casino to gamble. Judging by your response, I think you are referring to sports betting and not casinos. And you think the snacks and drinks will not distract you?  Well, I like to respect individuals' ways of doing things and also encourage them not to replicate what others believe is right all the time especially when it is not convenient for them, our personalities can never be the same, and so are our actions and preferences. That said, in my observation, I do not have a difference in the two, do you know why? I am always serious about anything that has to do with money. Even if it is just $1, money is money, so I don't take it lightly. This is why my focus is extremely sharp when I am betting on casinos regardless of whether it is offline or online. Still, I think I am better alert in physical casinos if I think it deeper. |

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s police bodyguards have been arrested over alleged bets on the date of Britain’s national election made before it was announced. In Britain, bets can be placed on any event which includes election dates.
So the Gambling Commission of the country suspects that this security guard to the prime minister had pre-knowledge of the election date which has been kept secret. The police officer will be charged with misconduct because cheating by acting on inside information is a criminal offense.
What are your thoughts?
My thought is that the bodyguard is truly unprofessional and if found guilty, he has to face disciplinary actions. I don't think such a bodyguard can be trusted in such a sensitive role anymore and this will forever be a dent to his career. You can imagine the person guarding the prime minister of the UK, that's very good luck and an enviable career which no one should jeopardise. If at all he wanted to gamble such, he should have planned it to the point that none of his family members would be employed for the job, but a very distant friend who can keep it a secret and bet it as if nothing happened. He is a security officer, so he should know better than this. |
