Damaged self-esteem is one of the most common consequences of infidelity. The person suddenly feels incomplete, unprepared, and wonders why their partner chose someone else. Therefore, being aware of the possible consequences of infidelity will help you avoid actions that you may later regret. But not all forms of gambling give people fun or enjoyment. Life gambling is a defined activity. But those who do not have an innate desire to win at gambling, greed usually works in them, so even after losing, they keep making bigger bets. Then lost and destitute which attacks the family. It is very difficult to give exact instructions on winning in gambling it is based on luck.
Maybe it's because there is no communication or honesty with their partner about what they often do but just hiding it from their partner. And I think it will only cause problems in the future, especially if they are gambling but turns out to be caught by their partner and will cause a fight between them. This can become a mess in their family and spread to their extended family when people around them also know about the problem. So we shouldn't be threatened to stop gambling and do it before it's too late because if it's too late, we will get bigger problems that can lead to divorce.

Casino will continue but also will adjust and do their best to make sure that there's no advantage that may happen, maybe we will see updates if ever that gamblers starts to use AI system, or possible that casino will ban if they see the big advantage of players who are using it, I like to follow the idea that in terms of mathematically calculation maybe AI have an advantage but with bluffing which is commonly being used by most experienced poker players, still have that edge unless AI will also learn it which I'm not sure if it's doable, correct me if I'm wrong, but bluffing is a skill that continuous being change, as per my opinion.
Updates from each casino will be carried out, considering that technological developments have reached this stage. And if the casino does not update, it is feared that the casino will not be able to survive amid technological advances, and the casino will lose its members and may even go bankrupt. And it seems that if technology is more advanced than it is now, maybe we will meet a thinking AI that can find every way out of a gambling game so that they have the potential to win. But it is true what you said that bluffing is a skill that is constantly changing, and even we are also trying to have better bluffing skills than before.

The people should not have an attitude of using gambling as the income source.Because the people do gambling will have a chance of winning and losing based on their luck.The luck is not the permanent one to any people,So the income can’t be generated by the gambling.The gamblers should do the work for their real source of income,but they can use the gambling only as the entertainment source.Some gamblers had an attitude of abusing the gambling after quit of gambling.Gambling is the right of gamblers,So he can quit or play till her old ages.If you get addicted into the gambling,it’s essential one to get away from gambling.
That is if they know that they shouldn't have that attitude, but many people still want to use gambling as a source of income. That causes them to abuse gambling as a source of income even though they can't get any money. People should only make gambling a means of entertainment and fun so they do not use or abuse gambling as a source of income. It won't work for them, at least for most people because some people make money gambling, but it just isn't as much as the people who lose.

To me it does not make much sense to follow and watch some gambling streamer to do their thing for hours and hours. It would be better just to which the stream to someone actually doing something more entertainment, like playing a videogame or cooking some stuff, anything but gambling.

It is like playing slots, addictive, but if in the screen happens to show that a jacktop was hit, the only thing one can do celebrate others people money. Nothing for you or me who are just observers.
But that may have been done by someone who wants to watch gambling games and has nothing else to do besides watching. I once saw a friend of mine just sitting in front of the computer, watching a lesson about playing poker, and when I asked how it was going, he replied that he could play poker even though he wasn't very good at it.

But it's really not good for slot games if you just watch the gambling game streaming for hours. Slot games can only be felt when we play alone, so we can know how it feels to play slots using real money. And from watching these streamers, maybe we also want to play the same slot game while saying can I also be lucky like him?

As far as I know, high rollers or big gamblers play exclusively on trusted casinos and they don't mind verifying their identity there as this can help in protecting their accounts and money. Those who will feel inconfortable are those who value their privacy regardless of how much they gamble.
That's obvious. Big gamblers always choose trusted casinos to play gambling. They don't want to get into any petty trouble, so they will make sure the casino is trustworthy. And they will also verify the trusted casino because they know that the casino can maintain their privacy. We also have to follow what they are doing if we don't want to run into fraud and other problems.

~snip~
Most of them do this. They pay someone else to pass kyc for them or they use fake/bought documents. But casinos owners are spending a lot of money to improve their security and anti-cheating systems to help them spot abusers.
If that's the case, they can easily find people willing to help them verify their gambling accounts with fake/purchased documents. They have a lot of money, so money is not a problem. This is why casinos are always careful in verifying gamblers' accounts. Sometimes, it takes longer to check everything before they can provide verification marks on gamblers' accounts.

~snip~
Some of the most popular casinos that have large bankrolls have implemented a KYC verification system for all customers who make transactions with large amounts of money so that criminals or perpetrators of illegal acts such as corruptors or embezzlers who want to launder money in order to eliminate evidence have had difficulties and of course have succeeded more on tap.
But it's true what you said that some of them may buy someone's personal data to complete KYC verification and of course that way the perpetrators of these illegal actions can still carry out their actions.
Every casino must find another way that can make it more difficult for money launderers and that way each casino can avoid problems regarding money laundering.
But corruptors or money launderers can easily verify their accounts so that it doesn't limit their movements in their illegal activities. We also can never predict what path will be taken by the perpetrators of illegal activities because they have more ways of carrying out their illegal activities. It seems like the casino is still trying hard to arrest the money launderers for carrying out their illegal activities in their casino, and I don't think the casino will ever tell the public about what they did to the money launderers.
2646  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Spot trading or future trading which trading is best for beginers? on: August 03, 2023, 03:27:22 PM
I advise beginners to learn spot trading instead of futures trading because it's safer. But they must study before starting to trade, and using a demo account is highly recommended to study indicators or something else. If they are used to spot trading and can get profits as often as possible, they can try futures trading.

But futures trading is more difficult because you have to know or be able to predict where the market will go. Otherwise, you will only lose and lose the money.
I understand that beginners can be incredibly excited to come to the market and they cannot wait to trade the market and do so as fast t as possible, but becoming a trader is a slow process, it would be better for those people to at first become holders as this is the less risky option by far, then once they have mastered holding they could use DCA and buying the dip as they are more advanced strategies, and once they have done all of that they could become spot traders, however I would not recommend that anyone becomes a futures trader as the failure rate is too high and the skill level needed to succeed is even higher.
I recommend using DCA instead of trading because it is safe for beginners while learning how to trade. By using DCA, they can accumulate more, especially when they are about to buy and the market is declining again. That allows them to buy large quantities using the same money as before. And if this is done continuously, they will be able to collect more from other people so that if the market can reverse direction and increase high, they can get big profits if they sell at that high price. But this requires learning and experience, and it is a process to get it.
2647  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: How are your exchange tokens performing at the moment? on: August 03, 2023, 02:51:55 PM
~snip~
thats the thing with many exchanges token in general they don't really move until bullrun is coming, the only thing that could make them move is if there is some event involving the token itself.
like for example is BNB, it recently moves when there are two project about to get launched in their platform and it caused some effect towards the BNB coin itself.
thats why when investing in some of these exchanges token in general, its better to see whether the token itself have that much utility and is being used widely in platform and frequently like how BNB
was being used heavily for getting the share of new tokens in general.
All coins, including exchange tokens, are waiting for the arrival of a new bull run to be able to move, and when the bull run has not indicated when it will come, the exchange tokens are still silent and still waiting. BNB is still not moving up as the bitcoin price is dropping again after it climbed to $29k yesterday. But right now, with the drop in the bitcoin price, it looks like the bitcoin price is going back to $28k, which could make the exchange tokens prices go down as well. So we're still holding on to that exchange token, maybe we can buy some more at another low, but that depends on how deep the price goes down.

If we think about holding long-term, Bitcoin is the best choice. But if think about just playing the market volatility, altcoins are there is give us more profit than Bitcoin. It is really all about our preferences but the advantage of choosing Bitcoin is that we can assure that years from now it grow unlike holding altcoins.

There are so many coins to hold but yes, this will also matter on how we manage them. If we can play the market so well, we can really make money there but if not, even investing in Bitcoin will give us losses as well.
I still give a bigger portion to bitcoin than bitcoin because by investing in bitcoin, my profit can be bigger. But investing in altcoins can also provide benefits, but we have to really be able to analyze to get the right altcoins.

Before investing, it is important to manage how much money we use so it won't interfere with our finances. Even though there are many coins that we can make as investments, we have to really choose the coins and bitcoin is the best choice as a long-term investment.

~snip~
Slot games are one of easiest games for anyone to play and to increase the number of bets, it better to consider your balance. If you have a small budget, it better to use the minimum bet amount or the smallest bet, but if you are using a larger budget, maybe you can slightly increase the bet amount. but always remember this easy game is very dependent on your luck and otherwise you will lose faster your balance will be sucked up in a short time.
But usually I use the method of raising the bet amount and returning a small amount to lure the scatter to come up for a bit of a big multiplier opportunity.
But all that is not a guarantee
There is no doubt that slot games are gambling games that are easy to play. But because it is an easy gambling game, many people like playing slots so much that they spend a lot of money just to get or hit the jackpot. And many people have lost a lot and spent a lot of money, but that still doesn't stop them from continuing to play slots. And it is not recommended to use a budget that is too large because it is feared that you can use it all just to win big wins. If we can limit the use of money, we don't need to run out of money after playing slots because we still have money to play slots another day.
2650  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How real?That football players required to bribe before they are allowed to play on: August 03, 2023, 01:11:56 PM
The more sad thing about this is that it became a tradition to almost every country, people who have talents in some sports should be helped so that they can give some help as well when they are already successful specially in Africa where not all are born leaders and talented. But the thing is, instead of helping them, they are charging them some ridiculous amounts just to be in a certain team and play to get the minutes. In the end, hatred will be passed on and not the other way around.
Even though that should not have happened because if people with talent in sports or other than that are assisted, it can trigger them to be able to give the best for their country. They will try hard because their country has allowed them to appear with their country's name. But yeah, that's what's happening in many countries, and they're deliberately hindering those who have talent by asking them to pay money so that those who hinder them can get a share. Hopefully, people like that can be dealt with soon and removed from the association so that the country can get talented people who can give the best for their country.
2651  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be play with care on: August 03, 2023, 12:44:39 PM
That's good for you, but what about the next day or week? Sure, you escaped losing everything all at once, but can you stop yourself from returning the next day? Not all gamblers, or even the majority, have the self-control to refrain from returning, and this is their problem. It seems easy for someone but not for others.
I always prepare my mind for the positive and negative results. Self-control is one of the crucial attributes to posses if you truly one to deal with the gambling system. Losing is unavoidable; you are able to escape it today, but what about tomorrow? Gambling is perilous, and I would urge newcomers to take the easy route, which is gambling to pass the time and probably not the other way around. It is simple to state that one would cease after collecting gains, but it is never an easy chore to trigger when the impulse to gamble arises. Some people do it for leisure, while others do it as a source of revenue.
Losing in gambling is unavoidable, but we can avoid losing huge amounts of money with good self-control. We can also prevent ourselves from continuing to play, especially when we have experienced a previous losing streak, so we can still have a balance in our account. And we should not immediately use all the money we have deposited to play gambling because if we use all the money and lose, we are forced to deposit some more money to play another day. And that is a waste, but maybe not for others. We must control the gambling game and not let us be controlled by lust which can cause us to lose all the money.
2652  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino Slot Streamers on: August 03, 2023, 12:13:27 PM
I think they can also be entertaining in their own way as you play slots yourself.

Yes, they are worth watching only when you have no balance left in your account and wish these influencers to make a raffle of balance vouchers or free spins for viewers, lol. But they still have the power of influence, it is evident that most streamers have an abundant number of referrals than normal gamblers. Watching them excessively of course will bring bad effects.
It feels uncomfortable watching streamers if we don't have a balance in our account because we can't immediately follow and have fun with the streamer hahaha Grin

But it's better for us just to watch the streamer and not watch it for too long, so we don't have the desire to follow him in gambling. After all, watching streaming gambling shows will definitely affect our psychology. And sooner or later, we will deposit some money to play gambling immediately. But that only happens to gamblers who don't have good self-control.
2653  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Mistake that prevented your big win. on: August 03, 2023, 11:43:09 AM
After losing a few times using Martingale strategy I have not made such a big mistake again. I would rather play it safe than lose big. The downside of playing it safe is that you also won't have very big wins. There's been a few times where I chose a huge underdog, like Holly Holm against Ronda Rousey, but I was too scared of losing that I chose not to place a bet. The next day there was stories of people winning thousands of dollars from that event and I kind of regretted my choice.

You don't need to regret about it. You will get another opportunity. When you get it take your time and reason about it with a cool head. Any decision taken with a hasty mindset will not help you. Sports betting is all about data and how you use it deduce a conclusion. Yes you would need a bit of luck but mostly your mind to get to the desired result. Mixed martial art has been getting some serious attention from bettors. It is a good choice for sports betting as per my understanding.
It's better to play it safe and get a normal win than to risk a big loss, especially if we place a bet we don't know or we are in doubt. Every decision we make is better analyzed and thought about in advance so that we are really firm in making that decision and will not regret that decision. Sports betting requires collecting data and research about the teams that will compete. I don't know much about martial arts, so I've never bet on that sport, and even though I'm very curious, I still don't look for supporting information, so it's better for me to bet on other gambling games.

In my opinion, everyone who plays gambling will definitely chase victory, no one wants to gamble just for entertainment, of course they want to win in their gambling. It would be quite naive to say that gambling is not the pursuit of victory, that's wrong, we are all gamblers chasing victory. All that needs to be changed is our perception of it, we should be able to think rationally and not go crazy when we lose. Emotional mastery and logical thinking like this is what gamblers need so they don't go crazy in their gambling.
I think it depends on each gambler because some gamblers don't chase victory but just want to have fun and get entertainment while playing gambling. They know that getting a win from gambling is very difficult, so they feel they just need to enjoy gambling. Winning or losing was the last thing, and they didn't need to think about it because if they were lucky, they would win one day. So instead of just thinking about how to win at gambling, they should enjoy their gambling game to their fullest and stop while they can.

Although currently using ChatGPT can make some predictions and some of them are accurate but most of them are not. However, if ChatGPT could predict the casino platform with AI, then the online casinos would definitely be destroyed. If AI could make it so that a person placed a bet and a team would win, maybe people would use this GPT all the time. But if everything was possible by AI then this AI would be called world's smartest but it is never possible. And since the prediction of online casinos cannot be done by ChatGPT AI, the casinos will not end.
The casino will anticipate this by banning ChatGPT or something else. We may not yet know what the casinos will do regarding this ChatGPT as developments continue to find the most suitable one. And even though this ChatGPT development could be more popular, not all gamblers will use it because some don't like ChatGPT and prefer to analyze each match with their own abilities. Online casinos will continue to run even though AI is coming to help gamblers win gambling games.

~snip~
Though this mistake i bolded in your comment caused a bit of confusion, but i think i understand what you mean at the end..
From all I've read here, one thing ive learnt is that casinos, or rather, game providers are cheating players with this whole provably fair stuff, i personally used to believe that the same mechanics that powers playing slot in demo mode is same mechanics that powers playing the same game in its live/paid mode, but then, what i understand by this now is that, the demo mode have been programmed to make gamblers win more and easily since its not real money in play, but for the live/paid mode, the game is programmed to make the player lose more then he or she can ever win, where then does the provably fair come in ?
We will also never know if the casino cheated us in the end or if they were proven fair, but so far, that is the result we will get. We also cannot expect big wins in playing slots, especially in the live/paid mode. Perhaps we can get a big win in the demo/free mode to attract novice gamblers or anyone who wants to experience the live/paid mode. They will think playing slots using the live/paid mode can bring them big wins, but the reality will not be as they imagine. Proven justice may come from comparing gamblers who play slots using the live/paid mode, and from there, they can see that not all of them can win because of luck. But even though it's hard to win, the truth is that someone has managed to win big.
2657  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Healthy mindset to save earnings from gambling on: August 03, 2023, 09:20:22 AM
Most gamblers are seeking the lucky shot to earn a lot from gambling by hitting the jackpot. However, I also know some gamblers who go to casinos just to have fun. They don't risk much money but they try multiple games and enjoy themselves especially when they are with a group of gamblers (like a group of friends i meant). Everyone can make time for something,so it doesn't matter if you have time or not; it depends on whether you're in the mood to spend two hours in the casino weekly or not, that's just my opinion.
That's true because every gambler wants to win but forgets that they can't always get a win. And often, they have to feel satisfied after getting a small victory and stop playing gambling immediately rather than running out of money after several rounds of gambling. And if gamblers go to the casinos just for fun, they are really lucky because they can keep themselves from losing a lot of money. But most people will gamble to try to win from various gambling games so that they forget their original goal of just wanting to have fun from gambling games.

You are right, but unfortunately, as a newbie, its very hard to know this things, except for newbies that are really smart from the onset, and again is that, there are times when the game is already going on, for the fear of missing out, some of us tend to find it unnecessary to carry out any form of research before placing the bet, we just go ahead guessing, this has happened to me many times and it still do even till now, it happens to me mostly on games i never had any intention of betting on, but suddenly developed interest just as the game is just starting to play.

Well, one thing ive come to terms with in betting is that, no matter how good we are, we can never have 100 win ratio, there will still be games that will be lost after everything, but then, its still better to go to war prepared and well armed, let it be that your opponent overpowered you, than going unprepared and unarmed  Grin.
It could happen because we don't want to be left behind in placing bets, so we will immediately place bets based on our guesses. But that doesn't guarantee we can win because by not doing analysis or research on each team that competes, we might not be able to find a team with a high chance of winning. But sometimes I just guess who will win Grin

Getting such a high ratio is very difficult because most of us can probably only achieve half or even less than half. So maybe we can only continue placing bets for the next game, and this time, we can hope we can win.

I have always wondered why one country dont allow gambling, and there is always a neighbor country that fully allow gambling. Dont that country that does not allow feels pity when other country get more income tax? And I dont understand those countries who ban gambling. Like they get enough funds in budget to cover all their country needs. Licenses can be costly, but often gambling brings good profit to casino owners, so getting licenses isnt a problem. And speaking about gambling as a business, it shouldnt bring profit from very moment casino is opened.
Perhaps the country's government doesn't want its citizens to rely on gambling to get money, so they ban gambling activities. But gambling can indeed provide income tax for the state because there must be many people who want to gamble in legal or illegal casinos. But usually, the prohibition of gambling is caused by prohibitions from the majority religion in the country, so the government prohibits gambling.

And if legal casinos operate in a country, maybe they contribute to the state's income taxes, so the government allows them to operate. And the government will also grant licenses to casinos to operate so casino owners can rest easy in running their businesses.
