It's not about a complete stoppage as it seems impossible to happened as long as gambling there is legal, but what matters there is, the gambling activity for underage or minors will be reduced. It's good to see such country having a focus on that problem rather than doing nothing.


I understand the situation. As you mentioned, during those days when having phones or the internet was not a thing, as a kid, I was already involved in gambling without even seeing ads related to it, seeing adults doing that thing, or anything.

It's a common thing to encounter while we grow up that's why it's totally nonsense to me to hide gambling from kids since that will just make them curious. But look at me, even though I was involved in gambling during my youngster days I didn't end up irresponsible. It's because of our natural common sense where we know what's right or wrong.

I do believe that those kids that do some kiddy gambling activity like the one you shared on your story are just for entertainment and there is no way they will treat gambling seriously at that age. The purpose of those kids in the story is to determine who's right between and not to earn money out from that betting.

Yes, there are lots of people who already won a huge amount in gambling. Are they lucky? Yes.

It won't be called gambling if everything is that easy to achieve. Though luck is really necessary to win big, there are gambling types where strategies can be applied such as sports betting, card games, sports, and any types of strategy-based games. In these games, you are not relying purely on luck but there's a method where you can increase your winning chances.

If you are asking what gambling type gives most gamblers the best odds of winning, and you will follow it for the sake of testing your luck, that's a wrong move. You should choose a gambling type that you feel comfortable playing with. We are risking our money here that's why at least you have an interest in what you are gambling for.

Roger Pogoy having that medical condition will be undoubtedly bad for Coach Jolas. But for Mikey Williams? I should say Coach Jolas won't mind him even how good that player is because he settles for a player with good behavior rather than just allowing Mikey to do what he likes because he thinks he's the superstar for the team.

Remember when Coach Jolas was vocal about the unprofessionalism of Mikey Williams before? Even though he's the star of the team, a 1-week suspension was taken in motion to M. Williams. Even way before that, Williams did really show some boastful attitude during the re-signing with TNT several seasons ago.

Talking about Pogoy, he's one of the best cagers in the TNT. I even think no one from the team can even fill the space that he will leave.

It's not a problem for me since I do have a friend or family that I can trust with that important matter.

I'm grateful that I have these kinds of people who I believed won't do some bullshit on me especially when it comes to money. But I know in reality and it really exists in most parts of the globe that there are families and even close friends that have a history of distrust even how solid the relationship is just because of money.

Anyway, I do have someone who knows where my personal keys are stored such as PINs, bank account passwords, and even Seedphrase. Even if I will bet my life on it, nothing bullshit will happen to my private belongings because of that said person I have mentioned. I do understand though that there are people who have trust issues toward someone because of a bad experience.

Nah, that case doesn't have to do with online gambling being the best for most gamblers. We can't generalize that physical betting is not the best to consider for most gamblers as both have pros and cons and gamblers have different considerations.

That story of yours might be an isolated case or that gambling shop is not a registered business.

I don't find any advantage of the owner running away since if the business is legit, they have the ability to cover all the winnings and since they are registered, running away does mean the owners just put a danger on their name of being a wanter person.

If the said business is not registered or legit, then I think the obvious ones to blame on that story are the gamblers themselves.

I feel you, OP. Even though there's already an obvious sign that something wrong is happening and my luck is not around the corner, I'm still trying to push for it and hope that it will be another way around and later on, mostly ended up wrecked. And it doesn't stop there, even if luck is not on my side, will still push for it and will deposit another round and the same result.

I don't know but there's something really pushing us to play more even though there are lots of signs already that we won't make it this round.

But after a rest of 1 or 2 days, I can assure you that there's something like luck replenishment and the fun will start again. Just a repeated cycle indeed.

Kabayan, it's not that di akma iyong market ng business mo sa Bitcoin pero mas maganda na rin may Bitcoin payment method. Generally, magandang tingnan sa isang business na maraming accepted na payment method kaya hayaan mo lang na andyan si Bitcoin payment. Later on, gawing makinang ang crypto payment sa business by also accepting other cryptocurrencies (although optional lang naman since focus mo is Bitcoin at nabanggit mong doon ka mag savings).


Puwede yang naisip mo kabayan sa lugar niyo pero parang mas convenient sa mga tao na custodial wallet ang gagamitin. At least para lang silang gumagamit ng mga digital wallet or mobile banking app if custodial wallet ang gagamitin. Although we know the risk of using it, just stick with the reputable ones.


I think every business will do kasi ang purpose is more payment method para mas maabot ang convenience ng mga tao.

Kahit kaunti lang ang gumamit ng bitcoin payment method basta tuloy-tuloy lang sa pag include ng payment method na yan no matter what.

There are people who are able to turn their gambling career into a successful one. Those are truly skilled and they built that for years.

But that good fortune can't be applied to everyone that's why considering gambling as a full-time job sounds horrible.

It's not that easy to accomplish without a unique skill of our own since gambling requires our own money to start with. How come it can be considered a full-time job if in the first place, we need to risk our own money just to earn from it and our success rate depends only on luck?

Looking for suggestions about that?

I must say that should be a personal decision and you should have your own approach to that.

Gamblers have different financial status therefore, most suggestions might not suit you or technically, can't applied to your situation.

It's not that gamblers continue to gamble just for the sake of covering the losses, gamblers have different reasons why they continue. Now ask yourself, what's your reason to gamble? Can your source of income or revenue keep up with your gambling habit regardless of the reason?

Seeing newbies having traits that are not appropriate for trading? Of course, they are newbies.

If these newbies were able to earn a good amount on their early traders, expect them to have a mindset that trading is easy, bearable, not that difficult to learn, not that challenging, easy money, quick profits, and their mind will only fill with positive thoughts even it's unrealistic.

As they lose, especially on a losing streak, if these traders are really eager to continue their trading career, they will now understand that something is wrong and their approach will now be changed into something much more disciplined and very well-planned. Unfortunately, there are people who after a series of losses in trades, will decide to quit and give up.

Experience always starts at losing that's why it's better for me to see newbies having a tough run while they progress.

Kumuha ako ng educational plan para sa anak ko at nasa 5 years ko na rin syang hinuhulugan sa ngayon.

Sure din kaming matatag ang napili naming insurance company. Ang hirap mamili sa totoo lang.

Iba pa rin ang ready na para at least, secure na ang future. Kumbaga kung may worst-case scenario in the future, may aasahan akong backup at di rin natin masabi ang puwedeng mangyari. Pero sa awa ng Diyos, sana wag ng dumating sa worst-case scenario.

For me, parang di appropriate kung pipili between educational plan o Bitcoin kasi in the first place, magkaiba ang purpose technically kaya natin sila kinonsider sa ating mga financial plans. Kung kaya naman silang pagsabayin, why not? Although pag may educational plan, talagang dapat isapuso ang desisyon na kumuha nyan dahil di rin biro ang monthly payment at as much as possible, walang mintis sa pagbayad.

We can't really say when our luck will come to us that's why if that happens, then take advantage of it.

I'm not that really unlucky when doing gambling but my winnings are not that can be considered a jackpot. What matters here is, that I continue winning over losing streak. If ever a huge jackpot finally comes to me, I will admit not to stop gambling but still in responsible act.

It's fine to continue gambling after winning a jackpot as long as the money is used in a proper way.

While keeping ourselves involved in gambling in the long run, we will automatically know the ways to protect our bankroll.

Knowing the basics is good but for newbies to understand everything, they need to feel the pressure once they are involved in gambling for real.

We should at least expect our common sense to do the things for us that don't really need to spoon-feed to us especially when it involves protection, security, and anything related to that in gambling. As we build gambling experience, we should know how to deal with that kind of gambling-related concern in the long run.

What matters is, that these people are shifting their interest to something less risky as long as on the way, they manage not to make things worse.

For example, from addiction to gambling, the interest shifted to addiction to gadgets. Even though they spend lots of money purchasing several gadgets compared to what they spend during their gambling addiction, the benefits and advantages are still used by these people since they actually don't lose their money without anything good in return unlike in gambling where they literally lose money, and in return, they will end up regrettable on what they did.

Cross-addiction will just be bad if in some case, the worst just become worse in the long run.

It's not about bitcoin or altcoin obeys the market structure you are talking but trading requires experience to somehow have a good result. Even long-time traders today are still losing therefore just try to keep up with the market volatility as possible as you can.

There are lots of altcoin traders who already made a good profit from altcoin trading. If they can, you can also have the same result.

In the meantime, since you do feel not comfortable with altcoin trading, it's good to stay away from it. Until such time that you are ready to take your trading career into an advanced stage, you can now do altcoin trading while doing bitcoin trading at the same time.

I understand the feeling but contrary to what happened OP, I have never lost my focus on work while gambling at the same time.

Actually, I always play whenever I'm working. I admit that there's a time it can be a distraction but it doesn't mean I'm not fully focusing on my work. I can even settle all my daily tasks even while gambling. Maybe it depends on the person and how to deal with it.

It's just that, there's a thing called "boredom" while working and you want something to energize you.

Just make sure that when there's a meeting or what, refrain from gambling in the meantime lol.

A quick 1.5x of the whole bankroll or just a 1.50x per bet amount?

Seriously, do you want to increase the bet amount by 300% each time you lose a round? Aside from calling that strategy a quick way to achieve a 1.5x, it's also a quick way to lose your bankroll lol. I don't see something different or special with that strategy there.

Anyway, if that strategy of yours is effective for you, then good for you. Good luck using that in the long run.

There's no definite period or duration of the effectiveness of that therapy since it requires the cooperation of the gambler.

Even how serious the process applied, depends on the gambler on how long they can withstand the temptation of gambling.

You will find some general answers to that question via Google search or ask directly a gambling rehabilitation center near you.

No offense to Nery fans around but I really stand on my view that Nery is just a full talk here in the 122 lbs division.

Of course, to be able to be considered in a big fight, he will throw words on the dominant boxers here, especially against Naoya Inoue where he calls the Japanese "he's not a monster" and states that he will defeat Inoue if they will face off. Too much confidence is like being arrogant.

I hope that if there's a chance that Nery will face Inoue in the future, he will experience kissing the canvas thru Inoue's deadly punch.

Just go with the flow of the situation then. We all know that gamblers do have different reasons why they gamble.

Either they consider gambling as a form of money-making or entertainment, only they know. What we need to do is just act on our own and always be responsible at our actions while doing gambling. Even there are gamblers who are losing lot in gambling, they are still on their right mind to act properly.

Just take it easy. Gambling is a game of luck and being aggressive to win here is not a good idea.
