2601  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can somebody make a successful career in gambling on: November 14, 2023, 12:30:04 PM
Although there are people who are successful from gambling, maybe their luck is so good that they can win in gambling and can change their lives, but I myself will not make people who are successful through gambling as my motivation. Because it is very impossible with the luck of each person who is different. The main mistake, in my opinion, is that they misuse gambling by making it their main income in the financial aspect.  If they continue to consider it like that, of course it is not the success they get but the misery they will get, because of the victory they never get. And also success in gambling is very difficult to achieve because the chances are very slim, lucky for people who play for entertainment purposes but they get a big win because their luck is on their side so they can change themselves.
It will be different because not many people can change their lives from gambling and be successful in making money from gambling. Only lucky people can get big wins and that's only a few people, while those who keep trying can't win big. They abuse gambling by making it their main income even though they already know that gambling is not a place to make money. They should try to make money from work, especially in an office that can make money. By continuing to gamble, it will be difficult for the person to win and instead, they will experience many losses after another, which may end up wasting their money. It is time for them to change their mindset not to make gambling their main income and not build a career from gambling.
2602  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can a gambler be a good bitcoin trader? on: November 14, 2023, 12:00:27 PM
Op, I will answer this question from the angle of being the kind of person from the question which you asked. I'm a trader and I trade Bitcoin and also do the investment side of Bitcoin, then when it comes to gambling I'm also involved in it because I was into betting already before I joined Bitcoin trading, and as I'm telling you right now I do both,  therefore all depends on what you are capable of doing, if you can do gambling and trade Bitcoin too then go for it, there is no bad thing in doing both.

Your case is a perfect example that a person that understands risk management can perfectly gamble and trade bitcoin. I believe that your risk experience in gambling before starting bitcoin trading, must have prepared your mindset better when you were starting out the trading. Now you can combine the two without much stress, but I doubt that the  same thing can be said about a person that enters trading without any risk experience. Although without any prior experience of risk, a serious person that enters bitcoin trading can Learn on the job.

As you have said, it all depends on the capability of an individual, some can combine both, like you, some can only focus on one to minimize risk, while others will not consider either of them because of the risk factors in both.

Personally I think that for someone to make it in life, that there must be a sort of risk, no matter how minimal that you have to take. The level of risk varies, depending on what you do.
It depends on each person because there are not many like him. Most people will tend to indulge in gambling more often than trading, causing them to experience huge losses rather than gain profits from trading. They must really introspect themselves if they have experienced losses in gambling and must try to reduce their gambling activities so that they can focus more on trading to make more profits.

If someone can trade more often than gamble, they will have more time to try to make a profit from trading rather than using their money to gamble. They will value the money they get from trading more so they will try to spend less money on trading. But if someone cannot control themselves from gambling, they will start to reduce their trading time and will gamble more often than trade.
2603  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dangerous chasing losses on: November 14, 2023, 11:38:43 AM
Of course we feel satisfied when we win at gambling, but if it is balanced with good control of course the results will be even more satisfying for ourselves, by having the same thoughts as you stated above, namely much bigger losses. than winning and losing more often than winning. , so the person is likely to be able to control their gambling.

Yes, basically it is a temptation for someone to gamble, if they are only tempted by big profits and the person is not able to control themselves then they will be easily tempted, therefore we must always be sensitive and careful when we are aware of advertisements. or promotions about gambling, don't just believe them.
What you say is correct because, with good self-control, we can realize that the winnings we have obtained are actually enough and we still have time on another day to gamble so that we can still win again on another day. We tend to try to chase even more wins and continue gambling using the winnings we have earned, but it turns out that we don't win but experience defeat.

That's why we have to be able to resist temptation so that it doesn't become so big that it will make it difficult for us to control ourselves. And if we can stop when we have won, we will not be tempted by anything related to gambling so we can enjoy the winnings if the amount is large. Self-control in gambling is very necessary so that we can act according to the circumstances we face.
2604  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What percentage of bitcoin investors are gamblers ? on: November 14, 2023, 11:16:05 AM
Small gamblers don't use bitcoins very often because they think it's better to keep their bitcoins rather than gamble unless they have a lot of bitcoins that they can use for gambling. We don't know how big the percentage is because many crypto gamblers still don't do KYC or they gamble secretly. It is possible that most gamblers are not yet bitcoin investors and use their bitcoins for gambling but that will depend on how they treat their bitcoins. If they treat bitcoin as an investment, they would prefer to keep the bitcoin rather than use it for gambling.
2605  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you use multiple platforms for betting? on: November 14, 2023, 10:49:21 AM
When you bet with crypto do you find it easier or harder to fund multiple accounts?  
Not a big task to me at all as long I have my gambling funds budget. I am always tended never to exceed beyond my budgets so I basically don't stick to series of betting even though I have a minimum gambling accounts.
And yes sometimes I merely give it a try in betting on untried betting section so if I have to bet in an unusual section, I am drastically going to minimize my funding on my other usual gambling accounts just to fund the unusual account with a strategy never to exceed my gambling funding budgets.
Staying within your budget is good for you because you can prevent losing very large amounts of money, especially as this has happened to many gamblers before. We really have to maintain a budget limit for gambling so that we don't deposit more money to gamble. And to place bets, we should only place bets on one gambling platform so that we don't exceed the limits. By always limiting the budget for placing bets, we don't need to worry if our money will run out immediately and if we can place a bet on a team that has the potential to win, that means we can win and if we place another bet on a team in another match that also has the potential to win, we can win again. If we repeat this several times, our winnings can increase.
2606  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? on: November 14, 2023, 10:31:53 AM
-snip-

I prefer sports betting compared to other gambling games because my goal is to make a profit. Other games can sometimes give me bigger profits when I get a jackpot but that rarely happen, in other games I find it difficult to control myself, but in sport betting I can easily controlling yourself to avoid excessive gambling addiction.

Your statement is correct, gambling on sports is one that has a better chance of winning by focusing on the club playing and who the opponent is. Logically, even though the winnings are quite small, assuming it is not up to 50% of the bet, at least if the club we choose in the bet wins, at least there is additional money that has been obtained from the winning bet. However, emotions must still be controlled, because whatever type of gambling, it can usually lead to addiction.
Yes, sports betting can provide bigger wins than other gambling games, especially luck-based gambling games where we really hope for luck. Meanwhile, in sports betting, we rely on our analytical skills to find out which team has a chance of winning so that if our analytical skills are better, we can definitely get a team that can win. But everyone must have analytical skills so that we can find the team and it is not easy to have good analytical skills because it requires learning, which takes time so we can get used to it. And yes, emotions still have to be controlled so that we don't place bets with big money.
2607  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you leave gambling if your future wife/husband tells you to do this ? on: November 14, 2023, 09:58:17 AM
If she can supply all my needs, I will stop gambling because am doing it for money purpose which I know that if I make some money from my gambling, I will definitely stop it one day and focus with other business activities like the way some people in my area that made huge amount of money from their betting and established a big business that is bringing income daily. The only way my wife can stop me from gambling is to promise that she will be there for me with any amount of money I want, because I know that she will not be capable of doing that and I will continue with my gambling, and start looking for way to win something that will make her not to disturb me another day. Never you be addicted to gambling, because there is no way your wife can stop you not to be gamble because it has enter your brain and it can cause you so many things that will make you to regret why you are addicted to gambling.
Maybe you need to find a job that can make money so that you don't wait for money from gambling because you already know that gambling is not a place to make money. Gambling is a place to have fun and spend money and after that, we must immediately leave gambling before our money is completely gone. If you instead want your wife to provide money for gambling, it depends on mutual agreement but usually, a wife doesn't want to do that because providing money is her husband's obligation. A wife will manage the money given to her by her husband so that she can meet her daily needs. But everything will come back to each gambler because they will determine what the decision is.
2608  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sports betting strategies on: November 14, 2023, 09:34:07 AM
When I want to place a sports bet, I will look at the sports I am familiar with and see who is playing so if there is someone I know, I will start looking for information. And if there is a team that I know has a greater potential for winning than the opposing team, I will place a bet on that team. But if not, I won't place any bets and will look for other matches that I know.

After finding the winning team, I will place a bet with the money I can afford. I didn't chase big wins because I wasn't confident in my analytical skills. Besides that, I only bet on sports betting for entertainment rather than to make money. I also do not know any strategies that many gamblers use so I do not think much about that. If I can win, I will be happy. But if I lose, I can accept it. Nothing to lose for me.
2609  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you guys believe in other people luck and try to copy them? on: November 14, 2023, 08:49:40 AM
Skill and luck play a very important role in gambling. Just as luck alone cannot make a gambler win, skill alone cannot make a gambler win in gambling because sometimes our own skill and experience prove wrong and many times we are defeated by luck. There is nothing to directly follow the success and failure of other gamblers, but if a gambler succeeds or fails in gambling, we can learn from those successes and failures. That's why we can't follow him directly because maybe that gambler has adopted different strategy to play gambling or he doesn't have full skill in gambling but if we can learn from him then that learning will be useful for us. I don't follow others directly but if I have something to learn through other's activities I try to learn them.
That's true because skill without luck cannot bring victory to gamblers so both must be present in the bets they place. Many gamblers are aware of this so they continuously hone their skills so they can have better skills. Gamblers should also be able to learn from their mistakes in analyzing matches so that they can also improve their analytical skills. If they can improve their skills in analyzing matches, they can improve their abilities. But they can also copy other people's bets, although they have to look for someone who has better analytical skills and has good luck. But it won't be easy because we don't know when luck will come. They should hone their analytical skills so they don't depend on other people to choose a team that has a chance of winning.
2610  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do Owners of betting companies bet? on: November 14, 2023, 08:21:34 AM
I don't know the exact answer to whether the betting company owner places bets on his platform or somewhere else. But maybe they place a bet because they know the estimate of the team that will win so they also want to get additional profits from gambling. But even if they don't place a bet, they still make a profit from gambling. After all, we don't know the truth and can only guess and if you want to know the real answer, you can ask the owner of the betting company. But I don't think they want to give the right answer.
2611  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Question for those who loose too frequently in gambling on: November 14, 2023, 07:24:24 AM
Let's be honest with this, do we think the rate at which some gamblers do lost their game each time they are gambling over a long time is enough to serves as discouragement for them to continue with gambling, maybe we just need to understand this that some are not just gambling because they are after making money or chasing after their losses, they don't mind using any amount for gambling as long as it will serve them right their desired purpose.
Yes, some of them are okay with using any amount to gamble because the limits each gambler has will definitely be different. The important thing is that each gambler has their limits in gambling so that they can accept their losses even if they are big losses so that they will not regret spending a lot of money. They can achieve their goals in gambling, where they get pleasure from gambling. And if they lose as much as the money they deposited, it means they can accept the loss and will not try to recover their losses. But if they can't accept their losses and try to recover them, it means they are trying to chase their losses and are just gambling and trying to make money.
2612  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: For Newbies Interested in Gambling on: November 14, 2023, 07:01:54 AM
For any newbie who has an interest in gambling, firstly don't make gambling a business or your priority, don't see it as a money-making activity, and don't give it all your precious attention because it isn't worth it, you can be ruined if care is taking, make sure you use your savings for gambling because the possibility of losing such fund is on the high side.
Gambling is addictive in nature, it can make you do anything to satisfy your urge for it, thats if you don't control yourself, if you must indulge in such activity, you must set a daily budget for it, make sure you don't exceed the limit per day, there is nothing like responsible gambling, all I know is that gambling is gambling.
Yes, that is true because after all, gambling is a form of entertainment that should not be played too often so that they do not become addicted to gambling. But there are still many people who often gamble and often forget the time to gamble. This is what makes them addicted to gambling because they cannot control themselves. And many of them also become bankrupt because they have used all their money to gamble. With the temptation of gambling, which can make them addicted to gambling again, they should be able to realize that they need to control themselves well so as not to become someone who is addicted to gambling. So a beginner must be able to restrain himself from excessive gambling and also limit the use of his money because if not, they will spend all the money they deposit that day and on another day, they will deposit more money.
2613  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: sites with bonuses without deposit on: November 14, 2023, 06:22:41 AM
There are a few casino websites that offer that bonus, but they are rare and can't be easily found, and even if you find one, the bonus is too little; it is not enough to be used for betting or playing, and most of the time, those casino websites are scams that attract players with their bonuses without deposit. Why? for you to deposit on their website, that's it. If you want a safe and legitimate casino website, then stop finding one that offers free bonuses because there's no such thing these days, or if there is, there are more scams than legitimate ones. So if you don't have the capability to deposit for your gambling, then don't gamble or play. If you don't have the privilege to deposit because of a lack of money, then don't start something that could cost you, and if you have the capability and just want a free bonus, then stop also. Anyway, it's at your own risk. That's the wrongdoing of some people who cling for free, which could lead to something bad.
It is better not to look for such bonuses. If they search through outside review sites, they could run into fraud because they do not know which review sites actually provide honest reviews. They should be able to accept that circumstances have changed and not look for bonuses that may have more wagering requirements that could make it difficult to get the bonus. If they gamble as usual and use gambling as entertainment, they won't just look for bonuses that seem difficult to get. But if they still want to try it, that's up to them but they have to be prepared for all the consequences. Even if it is about getting to a shady casino, they will never know.
2614  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Greed or risk on: November 14, 2023, 05:55:25 AM
I can consider this being greedy if the gambler used money that was not his own to stake in that game, and he is already making a huge profit but doesn't want to cash out. Also, I will consider this greedy if the gambler used only $1 to stake in that game and has about $2k to cash out but refuses to.
It was still greed because he only used a small amount of money to place the bet but he rejected the winnings that were already in front of him by not cashing out because he still expected to get the full winnings. He should have been able to take the money and withdraw it to his account so he could celebrate his win even if he didn't complete the bet. But that meant more than him still waiting until the match was over so he could get all the money. Of course, it can wait until the match is over, but he should also be able to realize that he has bet with little money money and can get quite a lot of money. So he shouldn't be greedy to get more. He can also still bet on other matches and still have a chance to get another big win.
2615  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can somebody make a successful career in gambling on: November 14, 2023, 05:28:14 AM
Gambling cannot be a career. Gambling is played for fun and entertainment. To relieve one's stress. It's not something to be made as a source of income. You can earn a lot by gambling, but that doesn't mean it's a job. Come on, man! Gambling means betting on something of your life. How can one bet on their life? They have to feed their family, don't they? If I were to make gambling my only source of income, then I would be the foolishest person in this world.
If many people could use gambling as fun and entertainment, they would definitely not have a gambling addiction. Unfortunately, those who gamble frequently will return to the casino and gamble more often. They become stressed because they continuously lose and spend a lot of money. This is a mistake of those who have used gambling to make money and they should learn to avoid it so that they do not spend a lot of money gambling. It is better for us to gamble in moderation and always try to avoid using more money. By doing things like that, we will not experience gambling addiction and can use gambling properly.
2616  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Gambling Generally An Illicit Activity? on: November 14, 2023, 04:59:48 AM
Yes, even though gambling has a bad impact, I still use it responsibly and can manage my finances and time well, online gambling is really popular with many people nowadays, apart from being easy to access, everyone can also use it without having to worry about other people knowing because This activity can be done quietly.

Yes, maybe that's what causes people in my area to think gambling is bad, even though in fact we can't blame gambling because it's actually the fault of users who go too far when carrying out their gambling activities, and certainly not all gambling users like that there is responsibility and there is also carelessness, gamblers who behave badly cause people to judge other gamblers negatively.
That is good for you because you can use gambling responsibly and manage your finances and time well. This will keep you away from problems that could arise after you finish gambling and the most important thing is that you can avoid gambling addiction, which has happened to many people. Online gambling is currently popular with many people. Hence, they try to play online gambling but unfortunately, many of them cannot be responsible for themselves so many experience large losses and end up becoming addicted to gambling.

So it is normal that some people where we live do not like gambling because many people are addicted to gambling and various problems arise because they cannot take care of themselves while gambling. Actually, gambling is not wrong, but it's just us who become greedy and want to recover the losses we get, so we forget to be responsible gamblers. That is why we must really be able to avoid excessive gambling so that we can enjoy gambling as entertainment.
2617  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can loneliness make one addicted to gambling on: November 14, 2023, 04:30:31 AM
Gambling was analysed of the game had more possibilities of getting addicted whether man or women was not consider in this way of gambling.The gambler should ready to spend the time for the gambling,So the gambler will return with the profit to the gambler.The greater chance for the gambler,Once he is ready to spend time for the strategy building for the game.The game like poker need of the technical skills,this only make you to win more matches based on the technical skill in the gambling.The loneliness allow you have more time and that time can be used on the gambling by the gambler to build their own empire.
And with that loneliness, he will use it to learn poker playing techniques that can improve his ability to play poker. This is the same as making his loneliness even more lonely because he only thinks about himself to achieve high skill in playing poker. This is actually good because he can focus on practicing the game of poker to have high skills but the problem is, he won't think about other things because, for him, it's not important. He will only get deeper into his training until he achieves mastery of playing poker. If he plays poker more often, he will become more addicted to gambling because by practicing his skills in real poker games, he will definitely meet pro poker players. If he loses, he will definitely be determined to learn more so he can beat many poker pros and become a legend.

You are completely right, though i understand that most gamblers, if not all gamblers, don't usually know when they become addicted to gambling, but this does not change the fact that becoming addicted to gambling is as a result of the actions of the gambler, one thing that is very certain is that, addiction don't just fall on people, no one slept in the night, woke up the next day with gambling addiction, so, our actions of in-actions is what leads many of us into becoming addicted to gambling, and not just gambling, but any other activity that one can possibly get addicted to.

So, to avoid gambling addiction, like i did mention or say in my previous comment on another thread before this one, it is very important to take out time to engage ourselves in other activities that is outside gambling, for someone who is lonely, spending too much time gambling is one of the fastest way to gambling addiction, and besides, being lonely is a choice, one cannot be lonely if he or she decides not to be, it takes a very little effort to step out and look for someone to take to, start a good conversation with, rather than lock oneself in a room and gamble all day.
Becoming addicted to gambling starts from what we do continuously, and we rarely stop these activities to rest. This activity will become the most important in his life so he finds it difficult to stop gambling even though it is to refresh himself after gambling for a while. If he could balance everything, he would not become addicted to gambling and in fact, he would not only focus on gambling to fill his free time. Still, he would do other things because he knows that being in one activity, such as gambling for a long time without a break, can cause him to become addicted to gambling. He didn't want that to happen so he tried to time it.

For lonely people, they are really looking for activities that can fill their time so that they are not alone. People who are alone without anything to do can become frustrated because they are confused about what to do. Maybe this requires attention from his family, who can encourage him to do something so that they can use their time well and won't feel lonely. As much as possible, they should not approach gambling because that can make them feel comfortable gambling and they will eventually forget that they need other activities that can make them avoid gambling. If he remains gambling, he may develop a gambling addiction that he will not even be able to realize.
2618  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are some things you should always avoid while gambling ? on: November 13, 2023, 05:23:40 PM
They cannot control the greed that's one thing for sure, when you think you can add more in your winnings you will keep trying to win more,
and when losing streak start to show up, the control inside you is no longer active.

You will keep placing your bets and you will experience the bad side of gambling, you will see that your bankroll is empty and instead of quitting before you lose everything you decided to keep playing and the outcome is no longer on your favor and everything you earn is now back int he hands of the house.
If they cannot control their greed, they will only get deeper into gambling and will not be willing to stop gambling easily. They have felt what it feels like to win and because of that, they still want more wins, which will make them return to gambling. But it will be difficult for them to win in the next round because their luck has started to run away and will only make them experience defeats that might even get bigger. If they do not realize this, they will only lose the winnings they have collected so that, in the end, there will be no money left at all. They have to start all over again by depositing some money and hoping to win big again like before. But once again, it won't be easy for them because they already had the opportunity to win big and didn't stop immediately, resulting in them experiencing more and more losses.
2619  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A gambler's family action. on: November 13, 2023, 05:10:30 PM
If I were that young man, I would not move to another city to gamble because it would definitely cost more money during the trip and it might also be dangerous if we could win a lot of money. It's better for me to start reducing my gambling activities than to see my photo plastered in every casino, which will definitely make me embarrassed.

But the young man's family went to extremes if they really wanted to spread the young man's photo to every casino in their city to ensure that each casino did not receive visits from the young man and would not allow him to enter their casino. It seemed that the method was completely different from the previous methods, so perhaps it could work to prevent the young man from going to the casino and gambling.

And if I could win the million dollar prize, I would definitely share the money with my loved ones and celebrate with them.
2620  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can loneliness make one addicted to gambling on: November 13, 2023, 04:49:45 PM
In my opinion loneliness can make more addiction on gambling. People feel depressed when they are lonely they have no one to talk no one to share their feelings etc. if you are a gambler and you feel loneliness and you don't have anyone to share your feelings you spend a lot of time on your gambling. Because of you want to move on from your loneliness you spend a lot of time for doing gambling. That helps you to move on from loneliness but giving extra time for move on from loneliness that's creates a huge addiction on gambling.

Gambling addiction is a bad habit. If you feel lonely then don't do over gamble for move on loneliness makes friends talk with your family members do limitation gambling and enjoy with your money to move on from loneliness.
Yes, that's right because if someone doesn't have any activities and there are no people close to him, he will try to find activities that can make him feel comfortable. If he then finds gambling that makes him comfortable in spending time, he will probably spend more time gambling than doing other more useful things.

He will have a greater chance of becoming addicted to gambling, especially if he gambles almost every day. If you feel lonely, you can ask someone to accompany you to pass the time and you can also do something different every day so you won't feel bored. Actually, many things can be done, but it depends on a person's intentions and how he uses his time.
