Is there really a skill that can applied to luck-based gambling games? Even how professional the gambler is, every spin attempt or bet attempt at these luck-based games are totally random making your winning chance 50/50. You really need to stake a higher amount here to also have a chance to win big as relying only on huge multipliers with the use small bet won't bring you that far in most of the cases.

The skill that can applied in gambling is thru strategy-based gambling games or if you are a sports enthusiast physically. Example you sre good in billiard, card games, basketball and so on, you can use your skill there to compete with each other.

That's was some of the world famous name in sports got started before turning a professional athlete.

Good for you then. I admit whenever I'm in that same situation, it's a tough choice for me to continue or not since I want to take advantage more of my luck. Hard to stop when luck is there since we are all waiting for that. However, I'm not totally dumb to just continue without any caution on the way. It's like I'm challenging myself to fight the temptation of gambling more.

In most cases, whenever on a big win, I tend to sacrifice at least 30% of my winnings on that particular session.

It works for me generally but there are times that I really can't fight the temptation and most gamblers will understand that feeling.

As long as a person understands very well how to manage several cryptos at the same time, then they are good to go.

There are lots of altcoins around and choosing what those should be included in our portfolio is not an easy thing to do. Yes, we have these well-established altcoins but the selection shouldn't just be limited to how well these coins are established right now. There are lots of factors to consider and our criteria for choosing will be based on how far we know everything in that said altcoin.

Diversification is always a good thing to consider but without proper management, a failed portfolio will be the result even how good those coins are.

I remember only around Php 15,000 (currently @ US$268) and played it for almost the entire day. It was tiring and my eyes were really itchy. There are lots of wins established in that session but instead of cashing out, the eagerness to continue playing emerges more as why should I stop if I feel lucky. In the end, the result is a bitter loss.

It took me around 2-3 days to move on with only that amount compared to OP which is $200,000. Crazy amount of loss in just a single day.

I wondered, how much you get on Stake's weekly bonus with that amount as for sure the wagered amount you made that day is also high.

Got the point there but generally, that statement is only applicable to those who really have that eagerness to just sit and idle their bitcoins for the long term and not to those who day person who regularly do trades or those called day traders.

Any news, even how small or big news is, it plays a big role in the decision-making of these day traders.

Of course, if the plan is to just hold no matter what, then any news is being ignored.

It's good that you made an attempt to calm your friend and stop him from a possible loss in the process.

However, experience is experience. It's fine to advise your friend to focus only on Bitcoin but if he's really up to the challenge of playing with other altcoins, the better suggestion would be, to learn from all of his losing experience. Future trading is really tough to handle and dealing with the emotion is critical here but that's the challenge there.

Don't stop your friend if he wants to bounce back again on playing with different altcoins. Instead, give him encouragement and feed him with knowledge and good pointers such as recommending a good altcoin, trading tips, sharing your strategy as well, and many more.

Regardless of the BTC price, it won't affect nor have any impact on my gambling habit.

If playing on a crypto-gambling platform, in most cases, there's a feature where currency can be shown in fiat value. Therefore, you can control your bet on a fixed fiat amount whatever the current exchange rate to crypto is. Besides, gambling is gambling and I believe for most crypto-gamblers, BTC price is not really a big deal.

We have noticeably seen an increase in crypto-gamblers over a period of time. That growth alone is enough reason to believe that fluctuations in crypto price don't matter for most gamblers, either beginners, casual, average, or hardcore ones.

I don't know what's the big deal there. Why not just enjoy your talks without being advanced thinking about what will happen in the future?

He should have more knowledge of you dealing with gambling addiction. Since that old man is your newly moved neighbor you didn't even know how long he's been into on that gambling activity. It's not that he will turn his gambling habit into addiction or maybe he was already there before.

Just listen to his story whenever engaged with each other. Don't interfere with how should he manage his gambling habit.

I believe in myself, yes. I came to the point that I even do gambling all day long for several weeks or months. It's something that I always want to do and always make it to the point that I spend lots of money just to do gambling to satisfy my addiction. I can't control myself to minimize that addiction.

But I will say that I'm responsible in terms of attitude and behavior.

Even though I gambled a lot and admitted to being really addicted, I never came to the point where I was at my worst and a bullshit person. I'm still in myself outside of my gambling activity and do my real-life responsibilities without a problem.

If I'm not mistaken, that article is outdated. We are not sure of the percentage.

Aside from that, the PBA's Commissioner's Office is also part of the voting criteria. We should see the percentage for each though.

Season 47 is the basis of the recent MVP award and Fajardo played 46 games there where he puts his best stats after being injured for long.

It will just create an expectation. Better bet on your usual and just try to win. These high multipliers by doing several parlays are really exciting to see especially if you are thinking that you will get those. But no, it's still luck and not destiny as you are referring to.

Just enjoy sports betting without expecting too much to win those insane multipliers like x700 and so on.

Not bad at all to copy others' bets. If that's effective on you then just continue doing it.

It's good but not that necessary since gambling sites shouldn't be the ones to blame for gambler's addiction.

Gambling sites don't need to fully help gamblers with addiction because that is something that should always be the responsibility of the gamblers.

These sites are businesses. They will just put the Gambling Responsibility tab on their site as usual.

We can only associate the term survive if these people are actually winning but we know the odds of winning in lotteries or any gambling form.

It should be, the large number of people there are relying on gambling on their dream to escape poverty and become rich.

But look, these people even have a budget for gambling. We can assume they are really eaten by the thinking that gambling is the only way to become rich.

Since the beginning of my gambling career, I have never even shown interest in joining a wagering competition leaderboard.

The reasons are:
- we don't know if we are against a real gambler and not a bot,
- there are lots of big rollers in a gambling platform

I just spend time doing and focusing on wagering if I'm taking part in bonuses and promotions.

If we talk about popular casinos and game providers, I won't say they are rigged after all. It's just that these players are not fortunate in that particular session and do not accept the fact that even if they feel that luck is not on their side, they still continue to gamble.

It's common to see gamblers blaming casino games are rigged just because they lose most of the time.

Gambling is a game of risks. Why expect to win most of the time? It's not called gambling anymore if the win rate chance can be determined.

Kaya nga bago di ba? Expect mo na bago rin sila sa mga pakiramdam kapag nakakaranas ng dip.

Hayaan lang natin ang mga newbie na maexperience ang iba't-ibang emotions kasi part yan ng challenge e. Kung may mga successful na matutunan kung paano ihandle ang emotion sa kahit anong trend masasabi natin na may good progress ang mga yan. Kung di naman kinaya ihandle ang isang market trend, eh mukhang di para sa mga taong to ang crypto.

Tandaan na maraming feeling genius bull run at naglalaho bigla pag bear market na. Mas magandang maranasan ng mga taong to ang both trend at tingnan natin sino ang matitira at magpapatuloy sa kanilang crypto journey. Kung puro UP lang ang mararanasan ng mga yan, kawawa mga yan pag nag bearish trend.

Saka simple lang sabihin na wag matakot sa dip pero in actual, kaya mo ba talaga makita na puro pulado ang majority ng assets mo, na tipong ang laki na talaga ng binagsak ng portfolio value mo at no choice ka kundi ihold or benta na lang ng palugi?

Why choose? There's no such thing as "rather" where in the first place we can take advantage of both.

It depends on how far you understand the risks if you tend to choose either fiat or crypto. There's no easy road to success. Dealing with the volatility is the challenge in crypto. While in fiat, dealing with inflation should be the priority.

Like any other investment, it should be well-planned from the start, and understanding the basics is necessary before engaging.

If the result is the other way around, I understand the real feeling lol.

Been through a lot of chasing losses experiences and what a relief if in the end, successfully managed to recover all those losses in that particular session. To tell you honestly, it's really hard to sleep after that big effort pushing to recover from the loss and nothing good happened at the end.

What a nice effort done by OP and that was tough work. It's not just about the money but the long period of time spent to recover those loses.

This is the problem to some people especially when just a passerby listening to a conversation between two people, being assuming.

How come you conclude right away that those people involved are CLOSED to each other and best friends? Since you don't know the real story behind their conversation, it doesn't make sense to judge the winner as that was surely a personal issue.

Next time, let's not only look at one side of the coin. The winner was judged quickly on this topic without getting its side.

We can only answer that once we reach that level. For now, our response is based on what we think without the actual experience.

As I said on another thread, gamblers' satisfaction has no limit regardless if they are newbie, casual, or professional whales.

The advantage though of having millions is, that these whales or high rollers are not pressured much since they have lots of ammo in their pocket. With that kind of large bankroll, they can play and last for a long period and might also have big wins on the way.
