2081  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Phil Mickelson Opens Up About Losing MILLIONS From Gambling on: June 23, 2022, 08:33:26 PM


You know what? It's hard to have sympathy for somebody who reached the heights of having many millions handed to them and presumably working very hard to get them, only to fritter it all away on silly little games. There are so many more pleasurable things to do in life rather than waste money gambling sum large amounts. He could have invested most of that money in sensible stock market index funds and had a steady payout over time, probably earning hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in returns for doing very little, instead he played his money in very high risk and low return games. 99.9% of people in this world will never see a fraction of what he had in their lifetimes, he threw it all away chasing ever more greed.
I do have the same impressions too on which i cant really feel anything in terms of pity or sympathy out of these people who had already gained or reached the pinnacle of success in terms of
career and finances but they do wrecked out theirselves via those addictions or things that they do get involved with which it did really cost them big just because they havent able to
exercise proper risk management or handling it out.Everyone could really fall into this pit and doesnt matter if you are a celebrity or known person or popular or just a simple
citizen then you are in no exemption when it comes to condition which something that you should really look upon.
2082  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Japanese man gambled away a huge Covid-19 relief funds mistakenly sent to him on: June 22, 2022, 08:06:04 PM
I'm shocked that someone takes money that isn't theirs to go play. But is this story really real?
it's most likely real. if you searched it on google you'll see a lot of articles regarding it from different news websites. it is also not the only scandal involving covid-19 money relief funds in Japan. if I remember correctly there is even a guy who flew out of the country just to escape being arrested by the Japanese police after being connected to a  massive covid-19 fund fraud.


Without a doubt it seems real enough for me, after all we have seen cases of people stealing the funds from the companies in which they worked as a way to fuel their gambling addiction, so it makes sense that if a huge amount of money suddenly got deposited to the bank account of someone addicted to gambling something like this would happen, if anything this should be a lesson, if one day we find a deposit which we do not know where it came from with a huge amount of money then it is best to go to the bank and try to get an explanation about what happened before we spend a single cent or we may get in trouble.
An ethical thing to be done I must say on which spending funds which isn't yours is something not that right thing to do but as said that once you are a gambling addict and turns out that some funds been transferred to your account unexpectedly then you won't really be minding on whose the owner or something like that but instead you will be minding off directly on how you would gonna spend it directly in gambling which isn't a surprising thing but not all people would be like that because we do mainly think about possible consequences if ever we do push that selfish action,majority would be normally scared on spending which isn't theirs.
2083  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your Mantra After, while playing And Before You Gamble on: June 22, 2022, 11:23:33 AM
What I do most is to gamble based ony fate. I don't gamble everytime so anytime I gamble, I do follow my mind and go in with confidence. I have had so many winning games that I thought I could never win. Mastra or no Mastra, I am very sure that what I say is always positive and most time I do remove my mind from all my bets so I will not be too emotional when I lose. Everything is based on mindset so I always positioned my mind so I will not feel too bad if I lose the bet since we are expected to bet with what we think we can afford.
That's the way it is if you can control your emotions. it means you are a very good person in organizing thoughts. but very few people can do like you do. in fact, sometimes most people still force themselves to gamble even though they are in a bad state of mind. good because there is a strong emotional impulse and can not control emotions and thoughts. usually occurs in people who are addicted to gambling. even gambling addicts will always find a way to win. such as using a spell and any news that reaches him in order to win even though the news is not necessarily true. sometimes he forgets that this gamble is about luck and has a 50:50 ratio between losing and winning. but it is better to gamble like you are with a good mind.
Controlling emotions is the toughest thing that someone should really enhance and this could be done via real experience and able to mold yourself to become a better person in terms of control and awareness of things.It is just there are people who do really have some beliefs before they do play and do really anticipate or expect that it could really work but once they do see or experience the real thing then this is the time they would be saying that there's nothing works in gambling or assuring outcome or positive results

If they are making the transgender only event,sure there will be a market for them,but will it be popular? Looking at the respond of the people,i think it will take quite a long time for it to be recognized.Will i bet for this kind of event? If there are many people who participate,why not?
I'm not against transgender or something in related which answering the question if I do make some bets? Of course if I could see and know their past games or statistics because that what matter the most where games you do know and the players involved and their history and other related facts.Doesnt matter on what's the gender as long it do suits your interest and preferred sports and knowledge then thats what really counts.

It doesn't seem like there is, but some people who use mantras still believe that mantras help them win the gamble. But if they lose the gamble in the end, maybe they will think it was their bad day so the mantra doesn't work optimally. The use of spells or not will depend on how one's habit of gambling is but it will not change the outcome of using mantras if indeed they are not lucky enough to win the gamble.

Exactly, there's exactly no mantras or spells existing or at least was proven to be useful in gambling activities. Mantras or spells are created by a human with hopes and beliefs that it could help them win while they gamble but often times, it won't guarantee you winnings as losses are unavoidable especially when it comes to gambling because that's already part of the equation and risks. Might as well use these kinds of things to help the gambler ease the intensity they are feeling and make them comfortable, but hoping to win? I'm afraid that is not possible.
Speaking with chances and odds then we know that luck is the main factor on winning on gambling any belief and acts is something that don't work but let's respect on what other people do before they do gamble because it's their money then it's their full right on how they would really gonna spend up their money but in general sense it isn't really that connected nor really that a main factor on winning up a game or simply gambling.play for entertainment and don't come after with profits or making money.
2086  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do not panic. Everything will get better on: June 21, 2022, 10:02:43 PM
Things would be better if everyone See's their situation as an uncomfortable place to be, and work hard to get things better. Someone can't just sit back and keep saying things would be better without putting efforts. High hopes without efforts is just a big disappointment at the end, which might lead to a very wrong choice and decision all together. Most people keeping make this particular mistake because they don't have an idea about what it is all about.
Specially dealing up with crypto where everything is really volatile which does simply shows on how emotional we are on situations like this but as a human then these kind of reactions could really be that normal or common that's why don't really make yourself get surprised on whatever you do really encounter.Assess first the situation and act accordingly into your own skills and knowledge for you to handle out the situation and able to bare yourself with the risk and movement in the market.Its not simple but it's not really impossible.
2087  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does bitcoin dump have any impact on gamblers ? on: June 20, 2022, 11:22:12 PM
Bitcoin price affect gamblers . A gambler who is a hodler when bitcoin goes down he will be affected because some bitcoins are gone but when bitcoin goes up they make gains.
A gambler who wants to buy bitcoin and if the price goes up, is affect because he will be buying when the price is high, but if the of bitcoin goes down it will be an advantage for the gambler to buy.


Gambling and investment should be separated because in general sense you are spending some coins on doing gambling which simply means that you wouldn't mind off about profiting on this time.if you don't like to mess up your investment then you shouldn't have done
Gambling in the first place.Answering the question about being affected then this is something can be answered by "No" because people
Would normally adjust on the amount of coins that they would be depositing according to
Fiat or usd value and on the time they win then it would vice versa.
2088  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Length of Time Before You Learn All These Gambling Terms Or Jargons on: June 20, 2022, 10:53:35 PM
When you're starting out as a gambler there are terms and jargon that have to be explained to you or you have to research for you to understand its meaning and how it applies to gambling.

In your experience how long or the Length of Time Before You Learn All These Gambling Terms Or Jargon like wage, seed, provably fair, martingale, and so on. 
Learning process will really vary on each person but understanding different aspects and terms won't really be taking too long or you could really understand it directly without needing that long time for you to evaluate.Its not really that hard to learnt up things which even using up your common sense is enough but for technicalities then it might really be easy or hard for others to understand but it
Isn't really that much complicated to understand everything.
2089  Economy / Speculation / Re: Was 17600$ was the bottom ? on: June 20, 2022, 09:51:05 PM
According to some analysis, the bottom of BTC should be in the 12-15K area, if at this price it breaks, then there is a possibility that bitcoin will return to 10K. However, going back to market sentiment, if in the end the market sees 17K is the deepest, then BTC could slowly reverse from this price. Everything is just a prediction, it could be wrong predictions.
Basing on technicals then 12k or even 10k could really be that possible but there are no assurance for it to be hit and speaking with the current price as of this moment on which it's starting to cling or climb up but doesn't give out any sureness that it couldn't drop even further or simply shows some dead cat bounce if we do sepak about technicals but we know that this market is really that unpredictable or something that can't really be predicted on what's gonna happen next.Always presume about the possibilities about price crash and correction which is something normal or usual on this market.
2090  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your Mantra After, while playing And Before You Gamble on: June 18, 2022, 06:45:17 PM

Just like them that use mantras, you're free to express your opinion about it. Some will say the same thing as what you've said and it's not going to change.
No one forces anyone to use spells or anything. It's just that they've said that there really are people who uses it for their own comfort and belief and on that part, even you tell them that they don't have to use it. You won't stop them and the same as you that tells everyone that gambling is for entertainment, that also won't stop the professional gamblers to gamble for a living.

Personally, I don't believe in these things because I know that we create our own fate and believing in it won't help increase our chances to win while gambling but that is only natural as from time to time we get to interact or meet some people who believe in these things especially if we gamble often, not because they are guaranteed to win but they have these sort of things to boost their confidence and that is their way to comfort themselves. Some may find it illogical but I find them interesting.

It's interesting in the way that they are believing that in that kind of mantra they can change the fate of their gambling activities, but there's none in reality they are just basing it from how they look at it as charm or lucky thing that will engage them to a positive mindset that some can turn it into a winning outcome, though there's no exact explanation about it, it's only inside the person who believes on it.
Specially if someone do really able to win up something big and that time they had made out some chants, lucky charms or physical actions and behaviors then that's the time they would really making their selves believe that it could really be that possible on winning if they do such thing before they would make out some bets.Well, we do have our own beliefs and understanding on things and as long you don't put yourself and other people into harm then I don't really see something wrong with this.
2091  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading Emotions on: June 18, 2022, 05:54:06 PM
Emotions are always involved while trading because it is not easy to make money,and loosing it seems to be very simple,that is why when one wants to put it into trading,he takes time  to think about it critically before puting it into a business.
When one looses money in trading,there is every tendency that your emotions will be involved especially when you are not financially bouyant enough.But when one is is stable financially,he can easily get his mind off the money he has lost.
We are just humans and it's understandable that you would really be reactive when it comes on situations that do really involves money and if you do see that your losing or having deep negatives then normal reactions could really be there and this is where trading experience and knowledge do differs on each person on where handling out situation is something differs in between.You can't just make out some decisions without any consideration if ever it would be effective or not.
2092  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: High odds or low odds, which do you prefer? on: June 18, 2022, 04:52:49 PM
You shouldn't be looking at the odds period. High odds or low odds, a win is not guaranteed. Do your research on the game you plan on betting. Have the opponents ever faced each other? What were the previous outcomes? What were the most recent results? What is the weather gonna be that day? How does a specific team play in weather if its gonna be bad? Is the game indoors? ETC.

There are all kinds of things to consider when gambling. It's best to make an educated wager vs just looking at the odds.
It's more worth considering if you do mind off these factors to be mind of rather than making yourself mindful about the odds because there are really some factors which could really affect the outcome on least expected and it's true that even if it's high odds or low odds type of game won't really be assuring about outcome precision.Dont stress yourself on how much you would gonna win by just staring on those numbers but rather stick into those considerations before making step further.

Betting consultants are gurus who have cracked the secret code of increasing one's chances of beating the bookies and sportsbooks

If i am nkt mistaken i think they are often refered to as the forecasters or gamble predictionists, they derive a means and create a prediction on matches that may be closely accurate to be precise base on varieties of informations and research carried out, i think it is good enough to understand their major motive is for profit realization, their predictions were not 100% of accuracy but they beat the close mark to that base on their level of thorough research.
As if these fellas could really show off those percentages to the public and would able to hook up some interest then it might be possible but we know that trust issues would really be the main issue on here.
Anyone could claim that they are good but showing solid stats or proving it out isnt something that you could prove out right away.
People would normally come in line if they do see and get recognized but if not then it would be simply be ignored.
Career in relation to this wont be unlikely to be seen or not totally that interested on offering such service if ever they really having that good winning rate.
2095  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Can newbie become rich with trading on: June 15, 2022, 09:59:17 PM
Newbies could get rich only if they are in a very high hyped lucky situation. This means that if they are in a big bull run and make a good chunk of investment and get lucky, they could totally get rich. I have met with so many people who invested 10k-15k during the bull run of 2021 and to some veeeery stupid coins, and yet they became very rich. With DeFi also allowing you to get in early and stake, that meant that you may have bought 10-15k worth of tokens, but with staking you held like 20-25k right away in first couple of days because of high stake returns. Then the price went x10 and you had 200-250k suddenly in a week or two. This wasn't rare, it happened quite frequently as well.

This of course is not suggested, its a very risky move and majority of people ended up being in a rug pull instead.
If you do pertain about low cap coins and been suddenly pumped or moon then chances on getting rich wont really be precise unless if you had invested big and then gained 1000x of the said coin then that would surely
be a big hit but not all we do have that kind of chance on which since outcomes and results will really be depending on how someone would be dealing up with price volatility of the coins that you had purchased.
Newbie could potentially make themselves rich but its not recommendable to touch up low caps or not known projects in the market.The odds or chances of losses is high
so dont hurry up yourself on making profits.

Those who don't believe in such things will certainly respond like that. But those who always use spells or beliefs will continue to use them. Using that spell or belief will increase their confidence and their luck level can rise even though in reality, it will not be what they want. So it will be up to each gambler and let them stick with it.
Well. So people do really believe that the spell happen and they use it for their benefits.
But in my religion it is forbidden - we can seek for the help of God but casting the spell is highly unacceptable.
Not literally casting spells but rather those behaviors or actions that you do need to do first before you do play gambling.I dont believe on chants or spells because it doesnt exist in the first place.
Its known that there are really some religion who do really forbids gambling because its never been a good thing for them and lets just respect on what they do believe.
In overall i dont see any relevance for someone who do really do these steps considering that luck cant really be influenced by something.
2097  Economy / Economics / Re: Money and wealth as the major religions in world. on: June 15, 2022, 07:09:42 PM
Social media changes about many things, those who have wealth are very easy to show off what they have, this makes anyone feel like imitating them, without money it seems impossible to be able to live, especially everything in the house must be paid with money, this What makes everyone busy with money and no longer care about the others.

Social media seems to be the basis of success of most people. They flex what they have so they could please everyone and create their own personality. Sometimes, we disregard our faith and religion and focus on reaching success. It's fine to dream and reach the comfortable life that we all want as long as we don't throw the good morals and dignity in us.
Due to our high technology that we do have today then almost everything is circling around in social media and for us that trying our best to have a better life then we are really doing
all sorts of things and i do agree that due to our tough time due to work and business then we do really forget about divine or religion things which is indeed that accurate in todays
time.We do really forget to be thankful on everything that we are getting or achieved which i do say which isnt right.

I don't know how people manage gambling after such horrible inflation. We are unable to pay our bills and it is hard to make both ends meet. The thesis should have a new point included - inflation and gambling. How to manage gambling during inflation. Because a common man won't be able to gamble.
In theory any amount of money that you gamble should be money that you can afford to lose, which means that even with the high inflation we are experimenting and the collapse we are seeing at all the different markets around the world at the same time if you earn more than enough money each month then you can still fulfill all your needs, while at the same time you will still have some money to spare and you can keep gambling, however this is only possible for those which earn a big enough salary, as there are many people which will have to reduce or even eliminate gambling from their hobbies until they have some money to spare yet again.
Gambling isnt necessary because if people would really be seeking out for some leisure then we do have several activities  which could really make us entertain.Its not necessary for us to gamble but
well there are people who do find out betting with real money is something interesting compared to those which arent thats why they do really end up with this kind of option.
If you do only earn sufficient for your daily needs then its really dumb that you would consider  on playing gambling since you know that you would really be spending some funds.
As speaking with thesis in gambling then this is a wide scope of topic which needs to be defended wisely.
Of course gambling is not essential. I don't think it's right for people who don't have much money to gambling. But for people with money, it's a hobby. Everyone spends money on things they enjoy doing. This is nature's law. That's why we shouldn't look down on gamblers.
Im not looking down on them or to those people who are poor or do only have sufficient income to raise themselves and survive on daily living.It was never been sensible for you to
spend up lots on something which you do know that it could really make your hard earned money vanished into thin air.Yes, its a hobby but on the sense that you should only
spent on the amounts which you can afford to lose and dont go overboard or else you would really be having big problems once you do make yourself get addicted.
For the topic its not bad on making gambling to be your thesis but rest assured this would be a vast topic to have.

I am sure that it is worth looking for a very thin level between whether to use bitcoin, and if so, in what volumes. I think it's pretty important.
At Which volume, i don't think that's so important in this situation, since Bitcoin is a decentralized currency and being used and adopted as an alternative currency in El Salvador, the volume at which the country reserve stands is what is important and since 1 Bitcoin= 1 Bitcoin and the 2,301 holding is still intact El Salvador government through the president understand the game quite well and are prepared what this even before the

For sure they had already studied about the probabilities thats why they are already expecting something like this for the market to be on this condition.Its true that 1 btc is always equal to one and no matter what
happen as long they dont sell everything or anything then its not considered to be losses.It might be on negative or deep reds but its not really into that situation where its totally considered to be one.
They could always opt to hold and wait and even the President might be considering on buying even more with these cheaper price since he do indeed know on how crypto game
works and only to those dumb or lacking some ideas will really be just whining and keeps complaining.
