Betting for fun could aswell get your friend addicted again, and not just greed or his attachment to the huge prizes. If there is nowhere else he could derive fun, he could keep betting just to have fun and "waste money". I'd rather advice him to quit gambling altogether and instead learn to be profitable/successful bettors. try to always play with only money youve decided to loose, I guess you mean 'bet with little amount or amount you afford to lose"? I think if you do this you are no longer taking big risk which is Gambling (and as long as you betting on good/safe games). You are betting responsibly and not gambling. It's irresponsible to gamble.But you said you are not a gambler and still say you gamble(that's abit contradictory)... I guess that means you still take huge bet risk, even in once in a month/awhile basis? when I sald am not a gambler, and still say I gamble, I actually meant am not really what should be considered a gambler, and yes, I do place bet ones or twice every month, I personally don't know what you consider as huge risk but for me, i dont take huge risk, my bets is usually between 5 to 10 usd, 10 usd is a threshold I set for my self and ever since I did, I've never crossed it, and am glad cus when I was fully into gambling, I sometimes spend up to 100 usd in a week and still end up winning nothing, am glad I was able to easily pull my self out early cus if I had let it eat deep into me, maybe I would have been worst than my friend is right now, and we both would have no one to help us get out. Well, you can't say you are not a drunkard and still say you get drunk. I think it should be: *I am not a drunkard, I occasionally drink.* Anyone with sound mind reading this^ will understand that you drink (occasionally) & probably no longer get drunk. Drunkenness is analogous to Gambling while Betting is analogous to Drinking. Too much of both (drinking & betting) than you can handle still makes one a drunkard or gambler. So you clearly no longer gamble. An occasional $10 bet (depending on how wealthy you are) doesn't look like gambling. |

I see that some big leagues let fans to visit stadiums, like Ligue 1, Eredivisie, Ekstraklasa or Belgian league. There is limited number of fans there, but it gives much more enjoyable experience while watching games. I hope other leagues will follow these examples. Limited number of spectators with distancing between them don't put people in danger. Actually, I missed live football so much that now I'm visiting games of my local team, despite that they are playing in 4th or 5th division and players are just amateurs who are playing after work  . Seems that Virus is here to stay for long, so I think we should return to normal life as much as possible in such occasion. And I think that players getting Covid-19 will be normal thing this season, something like injuries. And if they are team leaders and they will have to go into quarantine, we can expect some strange results. Personally i will not suggest you or anyone else to go to stadium for watching live matches but you can express your love by supporting your favorite team through social media. Just like you can easily post your line on their official posts which will definitely inspire team boys.
I'm not really sure how it can inspire players? Could you elaborate. I like the way you think and have spoken. Well said. The matches I view these days seems more like a training in session without the fans at their post booing and cheering up players. You know that celebration when a player scores and races to salute the fans, the tension the fans build in the players to increase performance, the noise to raise enthusiasm and others, they are all gone. It's just not like soccer without fans. The Covid19 has spent almost the whole year with us already, if it's here to stay, then we've just got to get used to it and keep the vulnerable that includes the aged persons and those with pulmonary or heart related diseases. From my view point, almost people of every endeavor are out in their various fields now. We are all tired, it feels like living in captivity. I sometimes wonder how they would handled the situation if there were no television, social media, internet etc... would they still take the extreme approaches? Or send the spectators back home if there is another crisis? The sides involved in making decisions in this crisis seem to be holding strongly to what they think is right rather working together and copying each other good/reasonble ideas. |

The instruction is to build an Ark that will survive "the flood" not a fancy Ship filled with jacuzzi, clubs, pools etc.. built for the moneybags, dictators, tyrants, and elites
Can your fancy ship survive the flood? Can you tell what will happen in the future?
Can your moneybags and dictators guide you safely through the flood? Can the blind guide the blind?
Build the Ark exactly as instructed, not how you think is the best. We will use only an Ark, anything beside that is for those who think they are wise.
You can't steal from GOD to serve satan. Every idea from HIM must be used as HE instructed. Sorry for those who do otherwise

It is a sidechain and interoperable with other chains. I see it in other languages Go, Vue. Those are languages that are not popular with most programmers. This project I noticed there are similarities with Polkadot.
Is this project for the majority of people like Ethereum did? Can the poor also develop a Dapp on Avax's blockchain?
And as a public network, can everyone easily participate in the network consensus without the need for having any minimum amount of token? Anyone should be able to stake "anything" important/valuable to participate, not necessarily tokens. I still find the PoS staking requirement models dangerous for public network. We certainly should expect something better from crypto community. It should mostly be merit/reputation-based (not stake-based) system. |

Noticed today that the exchange now has a token (governance token?)
Did the exchange airdrop the token to loyal traders or what? That would be a nice way to decentralized the token assuming it was done right. Just wish they'd reduce the distraction cause by prices so that people can actually focus on governance

This could be more likely with centralized, non-transparent exchanges with alot of data, assuming it's true. I think it could be considered a crime if the intention of the bots creators is to have them do exactly what you posted. So you'll need solid proofs to back up your claim.
In ideal situation, the trading platforms would be accountable and punished by organized decentralized communities for bad behavior.

I'd also try to read the project Terms and Conditions before joining them.
Don't give out your private information to strangers in the name of kyc. It's dangerous thing to do. If you must give, make sure they are accountable and "cannot" misuse or even access the information. There should be ways to verify people's identities without having full access to such sensitive information.

Mine was that I didn't just like the idea of constantly buying apps (or buying atall) when I could easily find the alternatives with thesame or better feature for free. Besides, it's not that easy to know what is pirated or not when downloading from all sort of websites and app stores.
Similar thing is applicable to certain types of copyrighted materials that the authors prevent others from getting for free.
What I may likely not stop from downloading, whether copyrighted or not is the Word of GOD. I just find it shocking that people will copyright things they copy from GOD's Words and make it impossible for others to watch, listen to or read. It's unbelievable.

Does slot games require skills? I don't think so,
you only need a huge bankroll in order to get lukcy, and get a lucky combination. What truly requires skills, is poker and blackjack even sports betting needs knowledge and research, in order to have a winning chance.
This games would be the most suitable content for your blog regarding strategies and skills.
And the "lucky" would probably not be consistent no matter how huge the bankroll is? I wondered abit about what he meant by "Skill games are casino slots..." I'm guessing he/she has a unique kind of slot designed to be skill-based? |

What exactly is the authority trying to prevent in the country? Crowded places due to the health problem, animal fighting, gambling, betting on animals?
I think the police is doing the right thing of it is trying to stop or prevent all of the above. People should avoid gathering in crowded place without following the good safety measures. They should also not allow people to encourage animals to fight nor bet on fighting animals. In regards to gambling, it's obviously not a good thing to gamble in anything atall especially for selfish reasons. We must be good/profitable at betting before committing more money/time in it.
A bettor must not gamble. Bet with small amount of money or what you can afford to lose till perhaps you become good at the games/competitions. Bet only on good and safe games (no betting on animals fights or other violent games). Be a good and responsible bettor.
Spider betting is not really a problem here in my country since it's been popular for a long time. The problem is social gathering amidst the pandemic and the kids are outside which is not allowed I think, that's why the authorities are constantly monitoring op's place. Although I don't think that the authorities are concern about gambling at a young age since it's just a small betting made for fun, I still think it's not a good practice for minors because they might adapt it when they grow up. Well, "it's not a problem" does not mean it's a good thing to encourage animals, insects or humans to fight and then bet on the fights. They should be concerned because it's not a good idea to have people enjoy watching animals fight and perhaps kill themselves. It's also not good for both kids and adults to gamble. They should only bet responsibily, and only on good games/competitions. |

Using same needles doesn't cause you to get HIV, only you will get if the needle has been used by HIV affected person and on you in the certain time period!
All kind of drugs are bad and it changes our natural behavior but these are basically illegal so people are consuming by paying premium price to satisfy their dopamine needs.
But the doctor will not use the same needles to their patient because that will have a risk to the next patient. The doctor will use a new needle for the next patient. But now, the doctor will not inject the patient if that is not necessary. Heroin is the same as cocaine and the other addictive, and if that is used without receipt from the doctor, we will become addicting. Are the drugs even in hospitals or pharmacies? Seems to me that most of this good mood "man-made" synthetic drugs are addictive or highly addictive, unlike the natural alternatives that could create thesame "happy feeling", like certain herbs, fruits and veg. Sometimes I wondered whether their addictivenss is deliberate to get people hooked & dependent on them in order to make their producers/sellers rich? Anyway, I have never seen or tasted any of such synthetic drugs (like horein, cocaine, etc) except an approved & legal pill used for relieving pains, and found in lots of pharmacies. It was extremely addictive until I somehow managed to stop it after using it for a year or so. |

I really don't have full details of food prices, but from what I have seen so far(esp where I stay), price remain stable... Some things, esp factory products probably added a little (maybe 5-10%). Most things from peasants/small farmers or sellers remain the way they are. Most of the healthy things remain thesame... that's what matters most.

Maintain and improve the good features of Bitcoin and have people from all over world build and use sustainable economies/ecosystems on top of the network without unnecessary government controls and restrictions.
In regards to Bitcoin protection against inflation not being guaranteed, I think it can be guaranteed. We have seen it with recent tokens how supplies can be easily controlled within the system to keep the price of token up overall... though I think the price increase should be moderate. The deflationary feature should work well if communities have full control of supplies and can prevent people from supressing prices externally...and as long as the ecosystems are very useful, thriving and sustainable,

Seems they're talking mostly about Cryptocurrency Trading and not banning any particular cryptocurrency. I think this shouldn't matter much if you work, earn in Bitcoin and buy things with the Bitcoin.
By the way, it's not good idea to ban something that is good, harmless and useful when you could instead prevent people from misusing or abusing it.. It's important that fellow users in India use/trade cryptocurrency more in decentralized manner. It's better to have the government regulate it in this manner (decentralized) than centralized regulations. That should help keep activities and things within the crypto space decentralized, transparent, accountable, immutable, community-driven, trustless/permissionless, etc.
You could easily take this route ^ without breaking any Good/Just Law of the country.

I've been experimenting with betting on sports, and for now I don't see a difference between when I'm making an educated bet and just betting blindly looking only at the odds. It hasn't been long, however, so I'll keep experimenting.
I can only speak of myself. I know a lot about football/soccer because it is a sport that fascinates me, so I bet 99% of my money on football games and no other sports. I have been consistently profitable for a long time (winning 55-60% of my bets). If I happen to bet on other interesting sports (e.g. recent NFL games), I always have a win rate of less than 50%. So I cannot confirm that knowledge does not make a difference. But to be profitable you also need good money and balance management. So knowledge compared with good money management is the key to success. Interesting. I guess this means you a successful bettor. Well, I think people could actually be successful bettors by betting on things they are interested in or passionate about. I believe the passion will help people to learn easily... they would keep learning, bet, be patient etc. Others are probably attracted mostly by huge bet prizes than the passion for the games Well, you can see it this way, if one has a win rate of > 50% I have been profitable in betting in the long run for a while now. In the short term, of course, there can also be a bad phase. From time to time I post my bets in previous, for example my Premier League bets for last weekend where I had four of four bets set correctly*. As I wrote, success in betting is not about luck, its about knowledge and money management. *Please don't follow my bets. If you do it anyway and lose money, it is your fault.Ofcourse! Almost thesame rate in Crypto trading in order to be considered a successful trader... People would sometimes say it is impossible to be a successful trader, but when you do your learning and research (talent also helps), you discover it's not that difficult to be profitable. So I can relate with the experience. * I'm not really that interested in sport-betting yet. I will probably try betting in other areas i won't abandon easily due to unprofitablity or lack of interest. |

Interesting.
But do think there are such "pro users" who are consistently profitable in their bets... considering it is dice betting you're promoting which many assume is random-based (not skill based). Having the word "strategy" in your post means this is skill-based, right? Have you observed or noticed any pro bettor that is skillful and consistently profitable in this game?
If yes, can you guarantee your potential customers consistent profits?

Unfortunately it is wrong to enjoy gambling (enjoy taking big risk) with your money, time or anything else. That could cause you alot of problems. Besides, you should be betting responsibly on good games/competitions, and not gamble. The worst is enjoying gambling. The enjoyment/attachment to this things is what normally leads to addiction esp when you have nothing else that gives you the enjoyment.
I would properly learn a betting game or competition, and be good/profitable at it, so that even if I become addicted, I'll still be earning consistently from it. This is better than gambling and enjoying it.

I am not really sure if it's a good idea to compare the electricity consumption of those songs listed above with Bitcoins'. They don't really look as important/valuable as Bitcoin, and probably don't deserve to consume too much. In my opinion, it's OK for Bitcoin to consume lots of electricity for good uses and for security, as long as the energy is efficiently used... and comes from good/clean sources.

What is institution defined as there? Here is an online definition of institution: an organization, establishment, foundation, society, or the like, devoted to the promotion of a particular cause or program, especially one of a public, educational, or charitable character https://www.dictionary.com/browse/institution Anyway, It doesn't really matter what it's defined as in your country. What matter is the truth: does Bitcoin qualify as good money/currency, or not? Bitcoin is controlled/regulated/governed by the network participants or users. Your desired government/institution could aswell be part of the regulation if they want to. |
