I will take 1 BTC right away without thinking twice about it. I doubt there is anyone that will go with the option of 5 BTC with a bet, that does not really sound wise. With the 1 BTC, I can set aside 0.1 BTC for betting will keeping 0.9 BTC safely in my wallet while I think about what to do with the money. The moment I discover what to do with the money like buying a land or investing it into any business, it is entering there already. I can attempt to build the 0.1 BTC to that 5 BTC, it is possible but I do not care if it is lost because by then I will be gambling with what I can afford to lose.

Most gamblers always use this line to motivate themselves and make it appear like they have a target in their gambling business. Unknown to them is the fact that once you are committed to gambling, it becomes part of you and you can only control your involvement and not stop out rightly especially when you succeed in hitting the jackpot. It is the control that makes one able to utilize winning properly and also what differentiates an addict from none addict. I even noticed that those who plans to quit when they win big money never win the kind of money they target, it is always little wins, some loses and such sequence. Huge wins from gambling always come when not expected, that is the strange thing about gambling.

I don't think it is correct that majority of those involved in Bitcoin traders because if you smell the air, you will realise the number of people actively trading Bitcoin have diminished so much following the transition of many traders to short term holders, who I think are in the majority now.

Most people hold just within Bitcoin market cycle of 4 years, buying during the bear season and selling during the bull market like some are already doing now. Some of the whales go about Bitcoin investment this way as well.

Following the realisation that long term holding is actually the best, many people are gradually tilting towards that direction just like it happened between trading and short term holding.

I don't think that is the reason they have, they are ignorant of what shitcoins can do to their finances. If you see the passion and optimism in them when analysing and investing in their chosen shitcoins, you will understand why I said they are ignorant and never learn from experience. Well, history have always repeated itself and that will not change now.

The present bull run have also created so much hype around some shitcoins. Many people are already throwing in good amounts of money into them and it is only a matter of time before we start knowing about the level of losses to scam people have incurred this period.

Investment in BItcoin is always safer and better anytime any day. Those going for shitcoins should be responsible for what happens to their money and should never use their experience to generalise and talk ill about Bitcoin.

Some prediction sites can actually be very helpful with their free services. I have used them in the past  and won but the problem is the consistency of their prediction which was not as much as I expected. So what I do sometimes is to make some adjustments to their predictions and this has improved the win rate even though sometimes those adjustments spoils the game. Although my major bets are usually my personal predictions. Gambling has to be taken personal and one need to be intentional about it if consistency must be achieved.

You don't need to be told that this is a result of gambling addiction. It is only addiction that can make a gambler spend all his income on the gambling shop and still play extra hoping he will win to pay the debt. This is only possible in physical shops though because online gambling will not allow a gambler gamble above his account balance.

This is a regular happenings in physical shops in my neighborhood. There are some people that spend most of their times daily in a gambling shops looking for who to assist them with cash to place their games after losing all they have. They are mostly those who plays virtual games that are settled very fast.

The truth is that this kind of character create bad impression about gamblers, many people see gamblers as destitutes due to the activities of these people that have not first figured and plan their finances before getting too deeply involved in gambling.

I think this is one of the gambling habits that we have spent so much time discussing on how to avoid. Chasing losses is a very bad habit that every gambler must endeavor to avoid because it does not always end well. I have done this before and I kept sinking in losses, the more I gamble the more I lose because I was not thinking straight and the mistakes were just too much. The best is to know when to stop gambling especially when one come to the realization that luck is not on his side for that day. Using a series of loses as a yardstick could help in determining how lucky the day is. For instance, if after playing 5 hands there is no single win, a gambler should be able to know that that day is not a lucky day and the best is to stop instead of continuing the gambling session.

This is a normal practice for newbie gamblers and I doubt there will be any exception. It is usually a habit for gamblers to try their lucky when they do not have sufficient amount, hoping to win and solve their needs. It is interesting that it is almost 98% certain that the last cash will be lost. This is the reality that many people would not want to come to terms with. I have done last cash bets many times and I lost all. I stopped doing that when I started making gambling budgets in that case, when I don't have sufficient cash or hope of getting cash, I don't come close to gambling. That way I don't get close to gambling with my last cash.

Many people will not know that this will one of the most interesting match in the English Premiership this weekend. Ordinarily, Tottenham will be seen as the better side and many people will go for them to win but a little look at their past meetings shows that Aston Villa have been a terror for Tottenham. It will surprise many to know that Aston Villa have defeated them in that last 3 Premiership meetings both home and away. In the current season, Aston Villa have also been doing well whereas Tottenham have not really lived up to the expectation of their status as a big team.

With the scoring pattern of both sides, this might be a very tight match with many goals. Many pundits are predicting a draw and it it happens that way, they it will surely be a score draw. Overall, I expect a very entertaining match that can pull a lot of surprises

This would have been possible for me as I have this figured out but there is a law in my country that makes pension contribution compulsory and only to selected banks. I have made inquiries to know if it is possible and realised it isn't possible to switch to my preferred choice. So what I have been doing so far is to set aside part of my income for DCA outside the mandatory pension contribution. For people in Liberal countries, I think using Bitcoin investment for pension purposes is very much possible.

Thank you for bringing this up because it has become a thing of concern to me. I noticed that in some leagues, the home team will always win whereas it is not like that in other leagues. I have tried asking questions in the past and I was told that the officials do their best to favor the home sides in order to save their head. I don't know if this can be called racism though.

Even the bookies usually give smaller odds to the home side irrespective of the strength of the away team. So to avoid losses, I usually avoid leagues where I notice this to be a norm. I want to play matches that I know there is fairness in the officiating as that will make me relaxed that the match will follow prediction.

If there is anything that will challenge Bitcoin, why will it be memecoins? What do memecoins offer? I see memecoin mostly from the angle of entertainment,  I mean something those involved just use to entertain themselves and make themselves feel hyped and pseudo-happy. There is no sustainability in memecoin.

Those who are highly experience and focus on the utility of any coin they put money into only use little fraction of their income for memecoins because they know that the risk in them is multiplied. They can die any day their founders decided that they are satisfied with the money they have made from them. It takes just few of the founders to dump their holding and everything will crash.

I might not have made the mistake you just shared but I think every gambler gave his way of losing owing to simple mistakes that usually become clear when the event have been settled. Personally, I have had countless number of losses that are dependent of mistakes. For instance, there have been days I lose simply I want to get x5 when my favourite could only offer x2.

There was a time I played sports betting and had the bet spoilt by over0.5 goal with an odd of 1.05 even when my mind was telling me to remove that particular event from my slip. I think that mistake is normal and what makes gambling what it is.

Bitcoin ATM was very popular in the past when the one in my country came on board, the excitement was too much. Unfortunately,  it stopped working and the news about Bitcoin ATM started fading away. I don't know if it will be fair to conclude that that technological innovation is phasing away with the news because should it still be fashionable, we would have been seeing posts about it even in this forum. People would have been dropping their experiences with the machine regularly

Even though I'm tempted to agree with you, I think Real Madrid is doing just fine with the advantage of having so many players scoring for them instead of building the entire team around a striker. The few past matches has seen Vinicius Junior, Joselu and Jude Bellingham all scoring great goals that produced good results for Madrid unlike before that all attention will be on Benzema to do the scoring. Even if Real Madrid misses a quality striker like Benzema, I think they have already evolved. Their result is really not that bad because they are still at the top of the La Liga table with 7 points clear from their closes rival Girona. The are still very much in the Champions league tournament so what more could they be asking for? In my opinion, Real Madrid is doing very fine.

I think they have met their end with Liverpool, such an unfortunate situation.  They are 3 goals down as at first half; an early penalty scored by Alexis Mac Allister and a 25th 45+3 minute goal scored by Darwin Nunex sealed their fate. If they can be this humiliated in their home, you should know what awaits them at Anfield. Anyone paying attention will understand that Liverpool have adjusted so much in terms of their playing and scoring pattern. Now most of their goals is being scored by Darwin Nunex when everybody is looking at Mohamed Salah. If this continues, Salah might finally conclude his move to Saudi Arabia for a share of the oil money.

When gambling addictions lead to failure in delivering on ones responsibilities and a rapid change in character that make others uncomfortable, then there will be many victims, most of whom might not even been considered to be victims. For instance, a situation where the addicted gambler becomes aggressive to the family members, then the effect will be felt by the children and many others. Children of gambling addicts whose addiction has gotten to the point of making him aggressive to the family, will surely grow up with  thinking that domestic violence is a normal things. So , I agree that there are indirect victims of gambling addiction which include families and loved ones. .

It is not over yet because Leipzig has just equalized the goal keeping the goal aggregate at 2:1. They are matching Real Madrid with the same force that they are receiving from them hence, Real Madrid could not out play them. From the match match statistics, Leipzig has made more goal attempts than Real Madrid and if they are able to convert some of those attempts might see the match turn in their favor. I must admit that this is one of the most entertaining match I have watched in a long while, fast football and played professionally. I think until the final whistle, it will not be possible to conclude who is going to join PSG, Manchester City and Bayern Munic that have already qualified.

I think you are right, the extent of the damage is a factor to consider. It is really sad how many people have concluded that gambling addicts will display character that will be easily seen by others. This is not entirely true because there are some gambling addicts that still perform their duties as fathers and husbands. You will never know that they are addicted to gambling unless they tell you. Deep down they suffer the effect alone and not necessarily the family or dependents. If you are an addict, the fastest way to know is not being able to stop yourself from gambling even when you don't  want to.

That should be one of the easiest match to predict and like you said, a lot of people got it right. If care is not taken, PSG may finally lift the trophy this year amid rumors of Kylian Mbappe exit from the team. This may be what he will be remembered for in the team, hence the effort his is putting as evident in him scoring in both legs of their encounter with Real Sociedad. I have watched Mbappe closely in several matches including the last world cup and I noticed a major difference between his performance before and during the champions league matches. That can only mean that he wants to keep a record. So a match was never an option for me in that match.
