2881  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can loneliness make one addicted to gambling on: October 30, 2023, 01:00:19 PM
Emotions have a big effect on how people act, that much is clear. Yes, loneliness can make people look for hobbies or habits that give them a short-term escape or comfort. Addictions can be caused by strong emotions like loneliness, sadness, or even too much happiness. For your close friend, being alone since his wife left may have left him feeling empty, which may have led him to turn to gaming as an outlet.

From a financial point of view, making $600 a day sounds great, but how you handle or spend it is what really matters. If you make a good living, that doesnt mean you should waste it on useless things, especially things that could hurt you, like gaming. If he's betting $500 every day, that makes you wonder, doesnt it? Looking into his thoughts and feelings behind his actions might show deeper problems, which could be caused by his loneliness or even by habits he already had. The important thing here is not why his wife left, but how hes dealing with things and whether this way of dealing with things is healthy or unhealthy.
2882  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What according to you should be the age to retire from gambling ? on: October 30, 2023, 12:36:49 PM
In the world of leisure and fun, age is just a number. Telling someone based on their age what things they can or cannot do is nothing but unfair discrimination. Doesnt it seem silly to say that thrills and fun are only for kids? The idea that limiting gambling to people of a certain age is, in effect, not a problem. A lot of ageist ideas are used to support it, which makes it unstable.

Lets look into this more deeply now. No matter how old or young you are, gaming can be fun and can suit your level of risk tolerance. When you retire, you dont have to stop doing everything, do you? No matter what age, leisure is relaxation. Whats the point in being different in gambling? There really shouldnt be an age limit. Who says you should stop looking for thrills, adventures, or just a good time at a certain age?
2883  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it possible to build a career with bitcoin? on: October 30, 2023, 12:10:31 PM
One of my older brothers bought bitcoin with that money, instead of keeping it in the bank, about 6 months ago, the price of bitcoin was 24-25k+, and he bought about 1 BTC. The price of bitcoin has increased to 34K+. In just 6 months, he has made a profit of 9k+ dollars, which would have taken more than 20 years to get from the bank. This means that bitcoin can become a millionaire if people invest in it at the right time. I also bought some bitcoins myself and did it by withdrawing money from the bank. Success is not possible if you do not take risks in life. I know how hard it is to make money and if it is to sweat your head and work day and night, then it is worth it. And we can make a lot of income by buying or trading bitcoin with the right rules. I think bitcoin is a bright future for us.



No matter how risky bitcoin is, there are still some few people who managed to be successful in their investment or trading activities. But mostly it's in trading that people build their career and earn a living. However, only professional traders are able to do that because of their years of experience in the trading market that made them skillful and competent enough to succeed on their trades. While the rest are just good at the start and eventually decide to quit in the end since they cannot manage to deal with the risks because of their wrong attitude and wrong mindset about trading.

While rare of these traders find career in trading, some end up trading regretting because they lose their money in an instant when all they believe that trading could give them bigger and immediate profits especially if they start trading with higher amount of capital. Trading with bitcoin is actually profitable, but it's unfortunate that most traders end up ruining their trades than building good career with bitcoin trading.
Trading, especially with bitcoin, is a balance of risk and chance. Success stories are motivating, but they arent common. On the other hand, numerous stories of losses should serve as a warning. Expert traders may seem to have the Midas touch because they have so much experience, but lets be clear: its not just experience; its also discipline, careful analysis, and a strong commitment. They've been through the highs and lows of the trading world and are now strong enough to handle the shifting waves.

Now, people who jump in thinking they can make a lot of money quickly arent thinking things through and are basically playing with fire. No, buying bitcoin wont make you rich overnight, but it can make you money. You are correct in pointing out that having the wrong attitude can lead to failure. Not only does one need money to succeed, but also the forethought, strategy, and humility to admit when they are wrong. Numerous people enter the battle, but not many emerge victorious.
2884  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin kwoledge is not complete without bitcoin investment on: October 30, 2023, 11:48:20 AM
I'd ask if you needed to be knowledgeable to be successful. Isn't it possible you'd be capable of investing in Bitcoin successfully if you didn't know everything about how it work. What you know about blockchains, forks & fees shouldn't stop you on how to make max profits but risks will remain.

Choosing the right investment, and the right coins seems very important which is why we should be knowledgeable enough and know what is crypto before investing. It was not too risky as we thought unless we didn't know what we were doing.
Life is all about risk and that is how every investment comes with her own risk. Most times when we put the risk associated with an investment in our minds when venturing into it, this will make us careful with the investment and learn about the risk management in that investment so that one can be successful in it.

This is the same thing with bitcoin, you don't need to know everything on bitcoin before you invest. Rather you should know the basics and then buy bitcoin and Hodli. This is where anyone that want to be successful in his bitcoin journey will ask about the risk management, which is invest in a long term. I believe that is the only way to manage risk in bitcoin investment, because when you are in a long term investment, you can accumulate frequently, and also learn more on any angle of bitcoin that is of your interest or better still majority knowledge on bitcoin.

It is simple as this, know the basics and how to less the risk in your bitcoin investment, which boils down to invest in a long term, and have emergency funds and on reserve, so that you don't sell your bitcoin when it is not of your will. In bitcoin journey, experience plays a major role on accumulating and hodli to be successful.

Altcoins will be a big mistake for anyone that wants to  invest and continue learning about it, because it can't be a long term investment, and it will also be a waste of time and resources to do that. Only bitcoin can be used for such because it has come to stay.
There is a lot of risk. Its what makes investments, right? If you jump into bitcoin without thinking about the risks, its like jumping into deep water without knowing how the depth work. Not only is it important to know the basics of Bitcoin investing, it's also necessary to stay alive in the crypto jungle. You dont have to know every little thing, but you should have a basic understanding. Required without a doubt.

However, your insistence on the singularity of Bitcoin's dominance over altcoins is... interesting. Every purchase, every coin, has its own risks and prospects. Some altcoins may not have the same long-term image as Bitcoin, but it seems short-sighted to completely ignore them. A golden rule for investing is to spread your money around. This is especially true in the world of crypto, where putting all your coins, or eggs, in one box might not always be the smartest thing to do. Yes, experience is important, but so is the ability to change and adapt.
2885  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin adoption in coming years, merchants will be left behind on: October 30, 2023, 11:30:12 AM
Your analysis of the Deloitte study is more than speculation - it captures the crypto-reality we live in today. Merchants must adapt to changing customer needs. The fact that 60% of merchants desired bitcoin integration shows increased consumer demand. Let's be honest: these merchants want to delight their customers, but their unwillingness to keep bitcoin and the integration's high expenses are overwhelming. The obligation to convert crypto to fiat shows that retailers are not entirely committed to bitcoin, which may cost them in the long run.

Bitcoin user numbers have doubled in a short time, indicating an upward trend. Merchants who neglect this trend risk disaster. Ignoring crypto's potential is a lost business opportunity and a disdain for economic trends. Of course, today's investment may be small compared to the future. I completely agree that some merchants may be left behind. It's worth considering, and the window of opportunity may be closing.
2886  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What would happen if there was only one cryptocurrency, which is Bitcoin? on: October 30, 2023, 10:49:52 AM
It's not gonna work for the crypto industry. The reason why it's so big and profitable right now is because it was generous enough to allow everyone to create their own crypto and get the chance to break the market and earn their place in the industry, if we were to bar them from doing so and just allow bitcoin, innovation will die and no one will be able to compete. I guess bitcoin wouldn't die cause we can put them up for ETF on the stock market and after some time it would be accepted into NASDAQ, but the point I'm trying to make is that the industry's good enough as it is. I want it to stay like this and improve upon this current formula. If we were to bar people from creating their own cryptos what's the point of making crypto "decentralized"?
Without the chance for any and every player to create and promote their own cryptocurrency, whats the real point of calling it decentralized? Decentralized, decentralized - its the backbone of crypto, and limiting that would indeed defeat its purpose. By bottlenecking innovation, we're not only stalling potential advancements but also contradicting the very philosophy that crypto was founded upon.

However, when you mention bitcoin's potential for ETF integration into mainstream markets like NASDAQ, its a double-edged sword. On one hand, it further legitimizes cryptocurrency, but on the other, it could lead to further centralization and regulation. Would that not then be a pseudo-solution to a larger problem? An industry, built on being an alternative to traditional systems, slowly merging with them? Thats neither growth nor improvement.
2887  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Whether Bitcoin ETFs are approved or not, we expect bullish trend on: October 30, 2023, 10:28:02 AM
In this situation, if Bitcoin ETF applications are not approved, will Bitcoin not be bullish? Only 2 months left of this year. We expect a potential halving event for Bitcoin in the coming year of 2024. If the Bitcoin ETF is not approved by this time, could we still see a bullish movement in Bitcoin price Until the Halving event ends?
I am not as enthusiastic about this spot etf approval in the U.S. like so many other bitcoiners i interact with, i am not against this opportunity to attract institutional investors into the market, but i also strongly believe in not your keys, not your coins; so i just think either it gets approved or rejected and i'm fine with any decision from the sec. Too many bitcoiners sound like etf approval is too important for the BTC market, take note that we haven't ever had a spot etf in the u.s. market, so we cannot even predict how the market will react.

The halving will create a pump in price if history repeats itself, and if BTC spot etf isn't approved, a lot of people will be disappointed, but demand will increase because of the halving and people have experienced how the halving affects the price, so another rejection from the sec would not crash the price.
I've found that a lot of people in the Bitcoin community feel the same way. The whole ETF approval debate is overhyped. In a way, this approval seems like it will be the key to getting most people to accept Bitcoin. However, we've never had a spot ETF in the U.S. market before. Who knows how the wind will blow? Aside from one SEC decision, I really think the market is much stronger and more stable than that.

However, the halving - thats the real deal. History has shown us over and over again how it can change things. Sure, people will be upset if the spot ETF doesnt get the go-ahead. But the halving effect? That cant be denied. Increased demand post-halving is almost a given. Some people focus too much on approvals from outside regulators instead of the value and principles of Bitcoin itself. The market will move in its own way, so let the SEC do its thing
2888  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How will it affect your life if bitcoin price comes to $1 million per bitcoin? on: October 30, 2023, 10:06:50 AM
If Bitcoin hit a million dollars a coin I would probably have no choice but to sell all of mine and spend the rest of my days enjoying the fruits of my labor. I actually think it would probably be a bad thing for me personally, at least health and productivity wise. It would be cool though. No idea what I’d spend millions of dollars on.  
My friend, you are in every investor's dream (or nightmare) as we ponder a Bitcoin future. Imagine winning the lottery and having millions. Sudden prosperity is a double-edged sword. Can money ever replace the grind, the relentless push for success, the daily hustle that defines us? I find it fascinating how you balance appreciating your work with the possibility of declining health and productivity. What good is money if you disrespect your health?

What do you do with millions without a plan? Choice's paradox and limitless potential. Money buys pleasures, but can it buy purpose? Perhaps the journey, lessons, and experiences are more important than the money. Still, wouldnt it be an interesting problem to have?
2889  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Solves This - Money and Banking on: October 30, 2023, 09:44:19 AM
Frankly speaking, you can't expect everybody to be aware let alone understand the intricacies of money. The great majority don't care about it for as long as what they consider money can buy them what they need. For me, that's completely understandable.

However, at the very least, money should function in favor of everybody. At some point, when money loses so much of its value, people will begin to wonder what happened. While they balance it with working harder, getting additional jobs, tightening the belt, and so on, that's completely unfair.

Worse, this isn't because money is naturally like that. This is simply because the ones who control it are abusive and greedy and insensitive and dumb. Indeed, Bitcoin solves this.
Isnt that kind of tragic? Most of them go through life believing they have a sufficient understanding of money. They go about their daily lives, obligingly putting their faith in a system that they dont completely understand. Though its easy to write this off as a case of simple ignorance, it also serves as a sobering critique of the level of financial literacy and awareness in our culture.

The main problem is that money, which ought to be a tool for everyone's empowerment, frequently becomes a tool for the oppression of the masses. Its not just unjust, but an irony when hardworking people are forced to work more and take on more tasks in order to keep up with the depreciating value of their currency. A tragedy that has nothing to do with money itself but the unbridled greed of those who control it. In this situation, Bitcoin steps in by providing an alternative that guarantees power isnt centralised in the hands of a select few.
2890  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is health and health is Bitcoin. on: October 30, 2023, 09:21:48 AM
Maintaining mental health is essential for a happy and fulfilling life taking care of health is essential for every human being. If the health is not good then the person will not be able to do any work and will create obstacles in investing. That's why you have to think about the safety of health and invest in bitcoin. If the health is good then the investment will be successful and family life will not be affected. Individuals who meet their daily needs will venture to invest in bitcoin there will be less risk and good profit from bitcoin investment.
Our most important investment should be in our health. Sometimes we spend so much time and resources on pursuing money and little time on our wellbeing. But we fail to understand that if we lose our health we have lost everything. There is a need to eat the right food, take the necessary rest, engage in constant exercise, and do regular medical checkups. Many successful business people have invested so much time in building great organizations but they didn't live to enjoy the fruit of their labor because they failed to take proper care of their health.

We are aware that bitcoin is a long-term investment which is why we need to take proper care of our health to enable us to live long to enjoy our profits. The Bitcoin space is also very dynamic so there is a need to always learn and relearn that is why we have to do everything possible to be in a good mental state at all times.
The pursuit of wealth often takes over our lives, and we forget about the most important thing: our health. That so many people put short-term money gains ahead of their long-term health and happiness is shocking and, to be honest, sad. Funny how we're all after bitcoin, which is an investment for the long term, but we dont put any money into ourselves for the long term. Because having bitcoin in our wallets doesnt mean anything if we cant enjoy its benefits?

You said exactly what I was thinking when I said that the Bitcoin space is always changing. The rules say that you have to keep learning and reviewing them. Minds need to be constantly sharpened, just like our bodies do, especially in a field that changes so quickly and is always changing. Mind health should be a priority, just like learning about how bitcoin changes value should be a priority. When it comes to trading, having a sharp mind is the most important thing.
2891  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Educating unemployed friends about Bitcoin on: October 30, 2023, 08:59:55 AM
I know that you really want to help your friends to become financially independent but I have to tell you this OP, it's illegal in your country so you're better off saving yourself first because you would never know if your friends will point finger on you if they get caught being involved in bitcoin, of course you can educate them but I don't think it's your prerogative to teach them access or buying bitcoin lest they get caught. I don't know if you've started already teaching them more complex stuff but if not yet, I implore you to tread lightly if possible because as noble as your intentions are, you better take care of yourself first.
Choose to teach friends who you trust and who will not have any problem for teaching. Who will obey your suggestion as you say. After giving a good idea to the friends who don't know about Bitcoin at first and select some of your friends who are interested, I think only those friends can be worthy to taught basic to advanced level about Bitcoin. In countries where Bitcoin is not legal, there could be legal complications if the teaching about Bitcoin is revealed. So teach someone about Bitcoin in a way where you can be completely safe. Currently, almost every country in the world has more or less use of Bitcoin, so there is less and more discussion about Bitcoin everywhere. We know that lots of people know about Bitcoin now than before. Therefore, the environment to inform about Bitcoin is now much easier than before.
In fact, a lot has changed in terms of how people know about Bitcoin. But what you said about choosing a trustworthy group to learn Bitcoin is very important. In an age where information is a powerful weapon, one must choose the wielders wisely. Teaching people who are genuinely interested not only makes the lessons more effective, but it also cuts down on wasted time and effort. But keep in mind that being curious and trustworthy dont always go together.

Lets talk about the big problem that nobody wants to talk about: how Bitcoin affects the law in some places. Even though the world is changing, the looming shadows of legal consequences still hang over some areas. Safety first - always. Its not enough to just teach; you have to teach smartly too. Be careful as you go through these dangerous areas, and make sure that every lesson and talk doesnt come back to haunt you.
2892  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is a “safe haven asset” on: October 30, 2023, 08:38:25 AM
I think in some countries other assets are more vulnerable because of how their governments control them and when you compare it to holding bitcoins, it's more praise-worthy than having a piece of land that you can't use for some reason. I think Bitcoin is a blessing to have right there and anyone can have it as long as they know how to securely keep it and prevent others from dictating when they will need to sell it because the owner has all the free will when he wants to sell it. Also, it is the safest asset to have when you need to migrate from place to place because you could just simply pretend that you don't have anything while you are bringing with you thousands of dollars worth of Bitcoins.
Because of government controls, you're saying that traditional assets are, lets be honest, a joke in some places. But Bitcoin gives you freedom that you cant get anywhere else. Its a seductive idea, isnt it? Feeling like no one can touch, change, or force you to give up a treasure. Now thats power. That is command. And its exciting to think that you could have that power, especially when other things you own are taken away by rules and red tape.

And this is where I raise an eyebrow, though. Great power comes with great duty, and yes, Bitcoin might give the impression of complete control, but its also very cruel and wont forgive anything. You are open to attack if you arent very good at protecting your bitcoins. Oh, and the thought of moving with a digital gold chest hidden away? Yes, its smart, but it's also dangerous. How many times have we seen people get too sure of themselves and then lose because of it?
2893  Economy / Gambling / Re: Casinos not asking for KYC to register and play, but do require it to withdraw on: October 29, 2023, 03:20:27 PM
Yeah this has been nightmare to most of the players who are not really going through terms and conditions of casinos. I highly doubt any casino would keep it hidden from users not have KYC requirement initially and then suddenly they will ask it at the time of withdraw. They ask at the time of withdraw if there is specific amount of money that has been wagered, or there is suspicious activities happening with particular account. Things like that can make it worst if they are not followed properly. It’s that simple. Well at least we can expect this from the regulated (government issued licensed) casinos. It’s better go for dex ecosystem if someone is that much trapped in the fear of having KYC done.  Smiley
There is no way a casino will keep her KYC verification from customers of the platform and the information will not spread especially from the frustrated gamblers that had made use of the site before. This is one of the reasons why we need to ask questions especially online when we are lost and don't have adequate information about what we have intention to do. Some casinos can be very wise and not disclose the information to new customers so that they will not leave the casino because of KYC verification. Many people don't bother tk go through terms and conditions that is why they can easily fall victim.
Many people make this mistake when they first start playing at online casinos because they dont know what will happen if their KYC system isnt working right. People getting caught off guard because they didnt do their research is something I've seen happen many times. Its both frustrating and bad luck. Always, always ask things. Find as much information as you can, even if its just a comment on a site that not many people visit.

And yes, it is disgusting how some casinos hide important information like KYC standards. People should be careful, but lets be honest: most people dont have the time or the awareness to read the terms and conditions. There is a weakness or a hole in the system, and some casinos take full advantage of it. The responsibility lies with the person, which is a shame. A quick search or question can save a lot of pain. Always know whats going on!
2894  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Flip or Trade? What’s The Bigger Gamble? on: October 29, 2023, 02:55:59 PM
Yes you are right that mate gambling and trading are not the same in all aspects cause trading is you can earn money  and Also its matter on knowledge while in gambling as we all know that the only thing they need to do in order to win in gambling is  they will pray that The brought thier luck, cause in the world of gambling luck is the only way to win a good amount cause when the gambler don't have his/her luck then they can't win.
  Gambling and trading are two different concepts. Across the world, across ages making money quickly is considered gambling I will put it this way. Anything and everything you’re doing in the world is gambling one needs to understand the concept of probability pertaining to various jobs. But the fact remains, when one is gambling the odds are not in your favor. But when one takes a trade or invest, he is taking a decision based on the data he has at his disposal the best trader/investor are the ones who enter into position when the probability of success is high. The trader who do not analyze data before entering a position tend to lose money. Whereas its is the exact opposite when it come to gambling. Gambling is strictly base on luck even when the smaller odds are best possibility of winning.
  Casino games are designed to have a negative expected return. If you play games in a casino, then over time you should be expected to lose money. This is because the casino has set the odds so that you will lose money more often than you will make it. You are a customer paying them to experience risk. The stock market as a whole should have a positive expected value. If you passively hold onto a broad market index of stocks, you should make money over time. This is why the stock market exists- to give investors a positive return in exchange for taking on risk. In fact, in the stock market, the companies who issue stocks are basically the customers and they are paying you as an investor to take on risk. This is in contrast to the casinos. The fact that both of these institutions exist is kind of interesting. The stock market (like insurance) functions because people are, by and large, risk averse. Casinos function because, every now and then, people want to actually pay money (by losing it) so that they can experience risk.
The difference you pointed out between trade and gambling is very important. All of Tom, Dick, and Harry seem to mix them up, even though their main ideas are very different. There are risks in life in general, but investing is a planned one, right? Traders plan their next move by looking at data, figuring out the odds, and guessing what will happen. What are the odds? They are managed to work in their favour by analysing them very carefully. At the same time, bettors throw their coins into the abyss of chance, hoping very hard for a jackpot.

What you said about casinos and the stock market is right on the mark. In their most basic form, casinos take money from people who want to play by using games that statistically guarantee loses over a long period of time. On the other hand, the stock market is more about taking measured risks with a strong understanding of the basics. There is no such thing as luck in this; you have to do study, understand trends, and make smart choices. The desire to make quick money versus the skill of strategic money management: two paths, two results.
2895  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tips on staying responsible. on: October 29, 2023, 02:31:12 PM
Maybe it's true that the majority of people who turn into gambling addicts are those who don't have a permanent job that gives them a decent income so they think that gambling is the only way for them to make money.  gambling is something that is addictive when you are unable to control it, change your mindset when gambling, when you lose then let it go, when you lose gambling today, you have to be able to change your mind tomorrow with new capital, don't let you continue gambling just for the purpose of returning the money you have lost while gambling... gamble responsibly.
  Gambling addiction can’t be judged base on social status, they are still people with regular job who are still gambling addicts some even go extreme of going straight to their usual casino right after their office hour. Gambling as been made easy now you can stay from the comfort of your home or office to place a bet we can’t tell the number of office people who use it as a side hustle, ones you don’t  know when to stop betting this when it becomes a problem, first one need to understand is that gambling can’t safe you,  rather should be something you do for fun and can afford to bare the loss. This is why they will always tell you to stake what you can afford to lose. Chasing loses will only land you to more losses. This so called office people even have the upper chances of becoming addict cause they feel they have the capital to use to place bet due to their monthly salary they receive.
  It is wise  to follow up gambling with common sense, even people with permanent job still become defaulters to this scandal. Its is good to have a gambling budget so that you will know when to give it a pause when you’re pass your budget but greed won’t allow some people to see that they are doing too much. It is important to note that you can’t win the house, the house will always have it way to cramp up on you. A good dancer knows when to take a bow after his performance, too much of everything is a disease. Another tip of staying responsible is by taking advantage of the bonuses these offers to boost your bankroll and increase you chance of winning. Responsible gambling involves self-awareness. Reflect on your gambling experience, both wins and losses. Understand your triggers and vulnerabilities to make more informed decisions in the future.
Addiction has no care for your job title or your monthly pay slip. Its an equal-opportunity destructor. Now, with the digital age, gambling has wormed its way into the daily fabric of many, turning lunch breaks and spare moments into potential financial pitfalls. The belief that a steady paycheck is an endless supply of gambling capital is sheer madness, and its high time people realize this!

This continuous cycle of betting and losing, and the illusion of the big win just around the corner, is what traps so many. The house? They're always, always waiting, and they usually win. If theres any advice that rings truer than any other, its this: know when to walk away. Realizing that there's no beating the house in the long run is essential. Utilizing bonuses is strategic, but without deep self-awareness, even this can become another trap. Continuous reflection, understanding one's own behavior, and being brutally honest with oneself – thats the ticket.

anyone deposited very less amount and luckily won a big jackpot like a 100x or 500x or 1000x of base bet and withdrawn without kyc or without facing any problem from the platform?

if yes, how much was that amount? and what was the casino?

i seen many people complaining about they don't give big wins easily or just don't give by making unanswerable queries like very hard KYC, freezing accounts, etc. this problem is very common with trusted casino's also/

do anyone withdrawn successfully the winning amount and if yes what was the process, it was seamless or you need to pass a hard kyc?

Ive experience just only twice i made a bet of only 500$ for a capital make a continuously run for 10$ every game and i didn't expect that i will get a huge amount of wins just around 1k usd only even tho its 1k usd still a large amount for me that can sustain my gambling activity for a over a month but after that wins i didnt take any risk anymore due to economic crisis needs  for funds, but i keep seeing streamers have this large profit but we cannot deny sometimes its not their money so its hard to trust they didnt spend alot of money on these casino.

There are live experience from gamblers history whereby they have won continuously but not as steady experience like that, these are occasional or once in a lifetime experience, many people never have thesame privilege of gambling and win as well, despite their several years of attempts to make something worthwhile in their gambling experience, i think we are so in a lucky mode finding ourselves on a top notch, with gambling experience.

There are cases where people Who have very little money and can do that, in fact something like this happened to me a long time ago, and then the casino became a scam, things that really surprised me, but well that's how it happens, but less than 10usd I managed to reach 1400usd, which seemed like a unique piece of Luck to me, so in this order of ideas things can be seen as Victorious but at the same time with a bitter taste, this is something that I do not always Recommend trusting in casinos that are relatively new ones, because they are the ones that bring the most danger to do this type of practices, so it is something that is not usually the best thing to do, this is good that the People who are starting out in the world of casinos also know it. Personally, I agree that I do not recommend other casinos but the oldest ones because that way they are the ones with the most confidence, the best Reputation they have , that seems to me to be the most important thing in a casino.

Many look for Comfort and to have a casino Where they Understand everything better, because the atmosphere and everything they feel good, and simprotnate, but what do we do in a casino where it does not offer us the security we deserve? That is Something that we cannot allow, and that is why newbies must see a way to look for those Threads from the forum reviewers so that they can go smoothly, and of course, depending on the person's tastes in the game , they can go for a specific casino, this can occur as a scenario that they must find the best way to Avoid having their money stolen, it is very unpleasant that someone who is entering the world of casinos and is scammed, because it is a client, possibly potential, who does not like the experience because it went badly at first and may not play again, then it is a loss for the casinos, and for the entire industry, because that person has advantages that perhaps They can also be Potential Clients.

Its strange how the places we go to find safety and excitement can sometimes let us down. Thats clear from your story. Even though gambling can make you feel good for a short time, it can often end badly, especially in new casinos that havent been tried yet. Even though big wins are exciting, they can quickly turn bad when you realise they're built on shaky ground. Putting your money and dreams in newer casinos, as you said? Not a good idea.

Now, when choosing a casino, how well-known it is and how long its been open are important. Its not just the lights, the mood, or the feeling of being at home. Not at all. Its about reliability. Trust is an important part of gaming. Always be careful and critical, and always question and doubt what you see. Brand new? They need to be even more careful. There are a lot of reviews, comments, and stories from experienced players. Doing something without first getting this information? Being stupid. A disappointing first experience can, in fact, turn people off from playing. Not only does that person lose, but the whole gambling business does too.

Saying is easy but to act on it, it becomes hard. We can send many things theoretically but when applying them in real life, many things come between our decision and our emotion. Those points that you have mentioned could create a great mentality in which we can control our emotions to some extent. Those casinos have made it so easy to play a game that people often forget what they are doing and get so into the game that they get addicted in the end. If not done correctly it can not be avoided. Gambling responsibly and sticking to strategies should be our priority.

When you feel like you have lost enough, just stop. Gambling is based on luck and you can't do anything even if you have all those skills and analysis experience. Things could play out differently than you have expected. Also, when you feel that you have made enough wins, stop. It is better to come up with a strategy and a budget for everyday gambling. Never go above your budget and the amount of bet you can place a day. There are no limits but if you are failing to control yourself, then you can surely follow this strategy. Winning is not everything. Enjoy what you are doing instead.
Lets get this straight: the house usually seems to have the last laugh in our game, which is pretty funny, right? I mean, its always struck me as hilariously ironic how these glitzy casinos entice us in by giving us the impression that we are the masters of strategy. But when the chips are down, its usually more comedy than strategy. I understand that it might be somewhat difficult to regulate our emotions when we're fully engaged in an activity. We should be the master puppeteers, not the opulent casinos, even though they have mastered the art of seduction. After all, who wants to dance to their music, lets face it?

Yes, and the well-worn adage in gambling: "Winning isnt everything." Its very old. But how often do we actually live up to that? Its a brilliant idea that you mentioned making a daily budget and strategy. It is the mooring in the turbulent ocean of probability. Gambling is as erratic as the weather for tomorrow. Thus, even if you seem to have the Midas touch one day, keep in mind that things could turn bad the next. I also want to emphasise that you should enjoy the game rather than the wins. Since, as you correctly stated, happiness ultimately takes precedence over all else.

Exploring the world of online gambling, we must have a solid understanding of the rules and regulation that govern our gambling activities, making sure to choose a gambling platform that is trusted and has a good reputations. Additionally, it is also important to set clear financial boundaries and practice responsible risks management.

Always remember that online gambling has its own risks, and it is important to remain alert to the potential for addiction and other negative consequences.
Following responsible gambling principles, such as limiting gambling time and prioritizing entertainment can help ensure that your gambling experience remains stay safe and comfortable.
There are rules that needed to be followed for us to earn more from gambling. When these rules are followed, we can earn as much as possible from gambling and that should not make us to be greedy. The greedy gamblers always make mistakes because they don't followers and and want to earn more than they can sacrificed in gambling. Some of the pro gamblers have been in the industry for a very long time and they know and to go about there ways because they had made several mistakes and can adjust due to the couples of knowledge to they have gained.

Online gambling should be an avenue to serve us right with gambling services to the best satisfaction that we may desire because of the conveniencies it offers, knowing that despite the risk involved, what we gain from gambling is far better than the risk involved or the money lost at the cause because our happiness while gambling is first thing to consider, we got entertained, avoid being greedy or mistakes and gamble as appropriately expected.
Gambling is really just that for fun and good thing that there are tons of platforms which do give out their offerings on gambling field or market on which you could really be able to choose up on places and games on which you do prefer. It is really just the risks on getting addicted is there and this is something that we should really be that careful on dealing with it. It is really just that for fun but due to greed and with those kind of insights about things then it would really be that just hard to resist if you dont have that kind of control just because of those wrong desires that you do have.

You wont really be that minding much on getting wrecked if you are really just that making yourself that sensible towards it because if not then you are really that prone into mistakes
and this might cause up for you to suffer with those common gambling addiction problems or outcome.
Anything associated with money will never be fun or entertaining, maybe gambling games are made for entertainment yes but we can't control the desire of the people whose the nature is being hungry and greedy with money, I don't believe people saying they are gamble just for fun, it will never be for fun if you associated that with money which we know they will hope to earn money from gambling, and that's when their desire comes, desire to have a huge money and they will keep on gambling and wasting money without them realising it. Let's not be hypocrite here I know every gamblers here desired to win a big amount of money but end up getting addicted and wasting money. i know a lot of friends that undergo that  which didn't end well.

Money has a curious way of transforming enjoyable activities into a frantic pursuit, doesnt it? Its a fact that nobody enters a gambling establishment with their hard-earned money with the intention of throwing it away for amusement. Their motivation is the possible financial gain. Indeed, theres a fine line between having fun and feeling the need for more. As you've noted, many start out with this ostensibly casual aim, but eventually their hunger and burning hope for a huge payoff take control. Both you and I have witnessed it.

The experiences of your friends are a sobering reminder. Many people are blinded by the promise of large rewards and become entangled in a vicious cycle of relentless pursuit, frequently unaware of the depths of their involvement. Its not a funny situation. When there is an overt indication of a desire for money, we should never try to hide the truth by saying something is "just for fun."

Hey @LUCKMCFLY, to your point about AI being developed to improve human life, I absolutely agree. It's not just about taking jobs away but also about creating new opportunities for growth, learning, and even creating a safer gambling environment.
For example, simulation platforms like https://app.simstudio.io/login are already helping players refine their strategies without putting real money on the line. It's a way to use AI for skill development, rather than as a tool for exploiting game mechanics.
I also concur that any attempt to use AI for unfair advantages would most likely result in account bans and could be flagged across multiple platforms.

That's right, I have always said that things when it comes to AI are pretty good and sometimes it can be gloomy. A few days ago I was watching a movie that was like from China, it was about AI, I couldn't watch it in its entirety because I had a lot of sleep, but if when the movie started they were giving as a kind of story where AI was represented as something ancient, going back to these years, where it showed the advances of robots and many other things, then as things were happening, and progressing because everything was becoming more perfect, where robots helped people, operated, measurement was advancing, and that was something that pleased me, then the robots were the police, even the authorities were the AI , until one day the AI trobots began to attack with nuclear bombs and all this, of course it was a movie, but I do not rule out that all this is going to happen in that way, because as a human being, man marvels at the advances that has achieved and neglects the most basic things in life.

So when a person is in these times, you have to learn and see that things cannot happen just like that, a lot of emphasis must be placed that things must go in the right direction, you know that currently an AI was made a simulation where that machine or AI robot was supposedly under the command of the world and wiped out all of humanity, then he apologized, not because in that simulation he activated nuclear bombs and all that, so that's something that anyone can't leave So lightly, in this world we cannot give priority to things that have almost no hierarchy and not marvel so much.
or with things that we shouldn't, because creating a robot's conscience will see many inconsistencies, it will fail to recognize details of wars, unjust things and they will want to make justice that it did to us at that moment, then that can trigger a chain reaction Of course I'm talking about AI advancing a lot, another thing is in casinos, which will obviously be very easy when AI is advanced.

It cant be denied, can it? The part AI plays in our modern world is both amazing and scary, as you said. The movie you referenced isnt real, but it has some disturbing similarities with predictions about AI's unchecked growth. Okay, so AI in online games.... An easy way for computers to understand how people think and act by using trends to make sure the house wins most of the time. Some might say its not really a problem, but I think its a clear example of what happens when we depend too much on high-tech gadgets.

Your point about how the search for better AI might make people forget about basic human values is right on the mark. It is very important to remember where we came from and not let these amazing things blind us to the risks that come with them. Not being against growth is not the point; the point is to move forward carefully.
2900  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gender in Gambling [differences between Women and Men in Gambling] on: October 29, 2023, 11:56:22 AM

Yes, there should be no distinction between the two because regardless of gender, gambling is free to be played by anyone, both men and women, except for minors. As time goes by and technology becomes more sophisticated, we all probably know that there are quite a lot of female gamblers as far back as I see that in the area where I live, almost a few of them are playing online gambling with their cellphones.

Most female gamblers play slot games as many people play these days, why are there currently so many female online gamblers because of the ease of accessing gambling sites and there is no longer any unpleasant treatment for female gamblers if they play at offline casinos, currently Online casinos provide that convenience and tend to have a lot of female gamblers playing too.

I hope, it is like this in most land-based casinos, but, unfortunately, I'm sure there are places where women's gambling is frown upon and maybe there are still countries where women are not allowed into a casino. It doesn't matter that most women don't even want to gamble in those places in the first place. Those who want should be allowed to do so.

There may be casinos that don't allow women to enter, but some of the casinos I've seen have a lot of women because I think it's also a marketing technique from the casino company itself. With female employees, of course this will attract men to play in their casinos, and when they win, they seem to be tempted to increase the value of the bet so they can win, but behind the temptation they only aim to make the winnings run out again. So it will be profitable for the company again.

I think there are also women who play gambling because they have enough money, but not all casinos allow them to enter to gamble or for other things. But most casinos must have women whether they are players or employees. There is no problem with women playing gambling as long as they have enough money, but it seems unnatural for women to play gambling. Especially now, with the current online gambling, of course everyone can play it with no exception. So at this time everyone can access it easily without having to go to the casino to gamble. Because in my opinion there is no rule that women are prohibited from gambling or is this a contradiction? I myself don't care about it hahahaha.

Isnt it curious how casinos manipulate gender dynamics to serve their bottom line? Theres a very palpable strategy in play where women are used as part of a larger scheme to draw men in. Casinos capitalize on age-old stereotypes, reinforcing these notions for financial gain. If casinos are indeed barring women from entry but simultaneously employing them for so-called "marketing," it reveals a hypocritical and calculated stance. Whats the actual aim here? To profit while perpetuating dated ideologies? Now, thats an intriguing issue.

As for women and online gambling, the digital age has undoubtedly blurred these archaic lines. With online platforms, gender becomes inconsequential. Yet, you point to an embedded bias in suggesting that its "unnatural" for women to engage in gambling. But what defines natural? In the end, its about individual choice, and no gender has a monopoly on gambling instincts. Maybe its time we reassessed our preconceived notions. Hahahaha, indeed.
