Why do we associate gambling with pride? I think we can't pride ourselves because we are gamblers. Everyone knows that gambling is a person's choice when they grow up and it is their own choice. This is the same as you choosing to drink alcohol. Gambling can make you addicted. And alcohol can make you very drunk and you will do things that violate the law. So when you decide to gamble, it means you are responsible for yourself. I personally don't like it when many people know I gamble, even when I win the jackpot. I think not everyone will have the responsibility of gambling like me.

I think that would be very important. Wise gamblers are those who can regulate their emotions while gambling. We are not robots who can play without emotion. But we must be able to regulate our emotions so that attitudes such as overconfidence, greed and FOMO can be controlled well so that you will not experience losses and become addicted to gambling. I think what we are talking about here is about reducing the impact of gambling addiction caused by us not being able to regulate our emotions. One way is that you can make several rules that you must obey. That will minimize your emotions controlling your betting.

Yes I agree with you. It is better to bet on predictions that we have made ourselves, rather than betting on predictions made by other people even if they claim to be prediction experts. I enjoy betting more if I guess on my own. I try to look at probabilities, game history, and other factors that I look for myself. Then I place a bet and enjoy the game. It will be fun if it turns out your bet is correct. I'm not a gambler who wants big wins or jackpots. I just gamble for fun and as a responsible gambler I don't think we can rely on prediction experts to make your decisions.

You are right and I agree with you. We cannot think that 5 BTC is better than 1 BTC because you will definitely get 1 BTC but you still have a 50:50 chance of getting 5 BTC. Of course it would be nice if it turns out you can actually get 5 BTC but I personally wouldn't risk my 1 BTC for 5 BTC. Give me 1 BTC and I will trade in futures or spot. I will trade the right amount and the rest I will invest in altcoins. 1 BTC can really be useful for many things. And I would rather bet on futures than bet 5 BTC at the start.

The right time to draw the line is when you are experiencing continuous losses, and have reached your budget limit. I always consider these 2 things when deciding to continue or stop gambling. Responsible gamblers are those who can manage their finances. And the most important thing is that they don't think that gambling is a source of income. I always bet small amounts for fun. And when I have experienced continuous defeat I will get bored and decide to draw the line. If my budget reaches the limit I will completely stop gambling.

An investor must of course have responsibility and be patient in managing his finances. This is what gamblers who make these 2 mistakes do not have. Yes it's true they think that if someone else wins then they can win it too. Even though gambling is not mathematics and we cannot really predict accurately. We know whether someone who wins on the news is truly a lucky man or whether it is just a small victory among the many defeats he has experienced.

A wise gambler should know that whatever the outcome of gambling is his own responsibility. Gamblers who blame others are stupid gamblers. No one forces you to gamble. Even if someone gives a prediction because he or she has won the jackpot with that pattern, we have to know that everyone has different luck. I have friends who experience gambling losses because they believe in the pattern given by their friend. What you need to know is that the pattern in each game does not determine that it is a fixed pattern that will give you victory.

1. Agree. Gambling is not an investment. You play a game that can give you wins and prizes but it can also give you losses and the amount of money you bet will be lost.

2. Disagree. But if it means betting a small amount of money and not adding value to the bet then I'm all for it. Gambling should be fun if you don't gamble with big money or even half of your income. Bet for fun.

3. I don't bet every day on sports betting. But sometimes I will bet 2 or 3 times if there are several matches in a sport I like. I like football and basketball. Sometimes I bet in a parlay system on football. So I think I'm pretty flexible here.

4. Agree. Only bet on sports you follow and like. I don't like betting on random sports, then I go to bed and the next day check the results. It will be fun if you bet on the sport you are going to watch.

Of course with great confidence I will choose 1 BTC. I am a moderate investor. I would rather invest in coins in the big 100 than try new projects. So if I was in the situation you said I would choose 1 BTC, then trade on the exchange or futures to make a profit. But if it was about gambling then I would also stick to 1 BTC, then try a few games, and leave myself plenty of BTC to spend. Getting 5 BTC sounds really good. But don't you have a 50% chance of losing? Because I never saw a chance of winning. I will always see the possibility of losing in every bet I make. That 50% chance of losing is huge for me.

1. Of course it's not the same. Online and offline casinos have their advantages and disadvantages. At online casinos you can work less and you can be anonymous. You can run an offline casino without requiring good technical skills in IT, but you have to take care of permits, licenses and follow the regulations in your jurisdiction.

2. Online casinos need IT experts who can run the systems and servers in your casino. Maintenance and operational costs are also higher compared to offline casinos. But online casinos have a very broad target market. If you can't make a lot of money from online casinos then of course online casinos will be worse than offline casinos because they have higher fees.

3. Do you want to recruit more people? Or recruit according to what you need? Online casinos do not require many people and that means it will be easier for you to handle your employees. But I think it is more difficult to find employees for online casinos than offline.

4. I think online casinos. You need a lot of money to start an online casino. But if you are lucky and you are willing to learn and develop your business, running an online casino that already has customers is much easier than an offline casino that already has customers.

That would be fun if you really don't have the desire to get a big prize or jackpot. That's a bonus and part of the game. So thinking that gambling is a game will prevent you from using gambling as one of your sources of income. It is wrong logic to think that gambling will give someone extra money. In gambling you have the opportunity to win and lose. So how is it possible to think about earning money when needed from gambling? I think if you are a responsible person, of course you can borrow from your friends, instead of the bank. That's much better than thinking that with $10 you will get $50 from the casino.

Usually a gambler who is initially overconfident will play several large bets because he is very sure that he will win those bets. And when they lose, greed will envelope them and make them continue to increase their bets to make up for their previous losses. That's what makes someone addicted to gambling. And it would be bad behavior if you don't have the money to make a deposit. It all started due to being too confident and greedy. Therefore, being a responsible gambler is something that every gambler must have. And that requires support from friends who also gamble. Therefore, it is very important to know the nature of your fellow gamblers.

I agree with you. Don't bring up his past when he was addicted to gambling. And and underestimate someone's desire to stop gambling addiction. Sometimes someone who wants to quit really needs support from those closest to them and their friends. He needs moral support and motivation to fully recover from addiction. Give them space to change and recover from addiction. Because if we don't support him then he may think that he can no longer escape the label of a gambling addict and if his desire to stop is not appreciated, some people will return to being addicts because they think their family and friends no longer accept them.

That's why it's important not to be greedy in gambling. Bet with money that you can afford to lose. I think the betting amount is relative because people's financial capabilities are different. But make sure to bet a small amount that you think you are prepared to lose. I once bet a large amount and it was very painful when I lost my money. But I can enjoy gambling when I bet small amounts. I can focus on the game instead of worrying about winning and losing.

United have lost their last 2 games but those were defeats to City and to be honest I was surprised by their defeat to Fulham. But both teams are above Everton's current level. Everton didn't even win their last 5 matches. So I think this match will be a win for United to improve their ranking in the standings. I think a draw is quite possible but with the previous 2 defeats I think United will go all out to get a win to boost their confidence again.

I like your opinion. Don't even think about getting additional income from gambling. It will only harm you. I believe you are a responsible gambler. I have also been in a situation like yours. Where I bet on a match and it turns out I won the bet. To be honest, at that time I was betting such a small amount of money that I didn't think about it anymore. But I was very happy when I found out I won. Then I started to think that the fun of gambling is when you win the bet and you can control your emotions so you are not greedy in betting.

I have been in a situation where I was annoyed by my losses and then I tried to recover my losses. But in the end I realized that it was the beginning of a gambling addiction. So I immediately stopped gambling for a few days. I think the key to not getting addicted to gambling is to bet the money you are prepared to lose, and think that gambling is just a game that will not give you additional income. The most important thing is the money you bet. The less, the smaller your chance of becoming addicted. Keep managing your level of greed because when you are greedy someone will usually start trying to increase their bet.

Currently there are 8 teams that have not confirmed their place in the next round. Of course they are all the best teams in Europe at the moment. But I don't think we can decide that before the remaining 8 teams finish their games. Currently I predict Arsenal, Barcelona, Dortmund and Inter will qualify. This is just my prediction and I am not underestimating any other team. PSV is playing very well in the league and Napoli is also at the same level as Barcelona. But I think Dortmund and Barca as hosts will have an advantage because they are playing at their own home.

Addiction is something that gamblers experience and the cause is of course greed and excessive self-confidence. They want to win more money. They firmly believe that gambling can bring them wealth and change their fate. These are the thoughts experienced by someone when starting to become addicted to gambling. I have a friend who is recovering from a gambling addiction as I said in another thread. They become addicted and greedy because they do not think that gambling is not a source of income. And winning the jackpot requires luck that you can't predict. And you shouldn't expect to be that lucky person because there are many losses that you will experience if you gamble too much.

I think everyone has been in that situation. I have also been a victim of fraud from fake prediction sites. They said that they already had affiliations with several bookies who did match fixing. They also provide several testimonials from people they say they have successfully helped. At that time, without thinking twice, I immediately joined and just like Samlucky, they never contacted me again. They only took a small amount so that this case did not lead to legal proceedings. I lost $10 on the registration fee. At that time I didn't think that if they knew the score before the game, why would they offer it to someone else and have to pay for it?
