I agree that if someone approach gambling to make money they have higher probability of getting addicted than someone who approaches it for fun
it's not given, because there's a lot of variability from human to human
but probably.

One interesting thing to think about is how casinos could make their games and engines less addicting though it goes completely against their interests.

Yeah, but for those who bet on a single bet, it will be better to watch the match so we can see what happens on the field before deciding whether to bet again or not.
Actually, this also applies to anyone who only bet on parlays, when you see one of the match will be lose - you have a chance to turn things around by placing a single bet on that match, because you watch the game and might able to predict the outcome.

I personally don’t like watching games i bet on and just like you i also find it very stressful, i don’t have the courage to watch them or even follow them up on livescore app until the end of the game to check how the match ended up. I find  very disturbing for me, at some point i prefer to place multiple bets and not bother about how the matches are going and only come to check them out after the end of the game.

Well it depends on wether at that time i gamble for fun or probably for funds. Most times i gamble for fun but it doesn’t matter for me because even while gambling for fun i find it difficult to watch any game i gamble on.

that's correct
people with more money can afford to take more risks
but the greater too if they end up losing it all or something like that

it's important to be alert and avoid taking decisions out of emotions... going slow is good

On the time that you do make yourself getting addicted then this is the moment you would really be having that kind of tough challenge on making yourself that getting out of addiction.
If it was easy in the first place then this is something that anyone could easily do it and gambling business could be not profitable in compared on what are we are seeing now which is really that entirely different. Gambling is really just that for fun, it is really just that there are people who are really that delusional or someone who do really wishing up on something we know that it cant really be that possible because gambling is all matter with luck and not something that you could really be able to make yourself that getting rich because it would really just that matter on how lucky you are
on a particular condition or moment.

Wow. I actually remember the day that this happened. And if I recall correctly, if you followed his advice and bought bitcoin on that day, I think it was the last time bitcoin was at that price.

He became an icon after this event. He might of lost his position because of this stunt, according to a few press interviews he did shortly after. I find it crazy that he held on to that piece of paper for so long. I assumed it would of faded in color by now. Those types of notebooks dont hold up very well for long periods of time .

But I agree with the above poster, it was in the notebook and then he tore it out, and now its in the notebook again? Doesn't make sense.

I think signs like this are best places at museums. I tried to google crypto museums and Bitcoin museums and couldn't unfortunately find any that are offline, so maybe it's something for the future. But there are museums of money, and it's about time for them to have something Bitcoin-related because Bitcoin is a part of the history of money.
The sign doesn't have bids yet, but the auction hasn't started. I wonder how much it'll cost the winner.

When Bitcoiners ask me about the sign, I tell them, “You’d have done the same in my seat.” Yes, only I attended the hearing, drew the sign, and flashed it for the camera. However, it was the network spirit which seized the image and fabricated the memes. The full poetry of the stunt was far beyond my devising, therefore, my attitude can only be one of post-authorship. Bitcoin was massively rupturing into the halls of institutional finance in 2017. Any Bitcoiner worth their sats would have told you so. It’s good to finally liberate this number from my sock drawer and offer it back to the Bitcoin public. The message was subversive then, but now merely obvious: Bitcoin is flowing. Control is dead.

I have gone through the topic and havent found any link that will lead to a proof that someone tried and tested AI for gambling. If AI would really help with making predictions, there would be examples of its usage, gambling community would have a hot discussions about it. Right now people seems to be either cautions to use it, or afraid to risk money and test. All I see that main argument is AI "might" make some affect, but nobody is sure about it. I would remind everyone once again - there is no magic "win" button, nor magic strategy to win always.

For many people, it was a discovery that emotions are important when watching a match, not just pleasure. Emotions can be anything: negative or positive, the main thing is that they are there. If the game leaves you indifferent, that's bad. When a game gives you negative emotions, it's unpleasant, but that's life. Life cannot consist only of positive experiences. Negative emotions give us a variety of experiences and always teach us something. Smart people and wise players are those who have experienced not only positive emotions, but also many negative ones. These negative emotions taught them a lot.

For me it's only helpful to have a background on such teams or players that is new to me. I do my initial research with them. But for most, I don't do my whole bet decision base only to the fact or prediction that they've presented to the public. I don't want to put all my hope to any analyst in the league. It's my money I'm betting so I always make sure that it is my decision. So I just use it correlate with my own predictions. And that's a very good point, only bet on games that you know and you enjoy. Or else, study the game.

This is exactly how nasty some addicts are . Some can even go out of their way to do worse taking huge loans just for some mindless staking without even having a guarantee of how they could possibly get some money to offset the loan. This is the reason why at the end of the day , most of these addicts end up bankrupt some even at the brink of becoming homeless. If as a gambler you are not able to control yourself and manage time and money spent on gambling stakes and activities then you are either not mature enough to gamble or you too irresponsible. One of the major reasons gambling is 18+ plus is based on the capacity to make mature decisions.

Sometimes an experience to lose in gambling can make someone realized that it's not an activity to earn money easily. Because as we know many gamblers are engaging themselves in gambling because of the thought of gaining when they play.

Thus it's crucial to know what you are getting into before deciding to use your money just to play. Always expect the worse case that can possibly happen so that you're not going to be hopeful to win.

True, many people don't know that the grip strength can be tweaked, so that it is loose for x amount of rounds.
This way even if the player aligns it perfectly with the target, the prize will fall prematurely before being delivered to the hole.
So two factors play and contribute to the winning chance: (1) grip strength and (2) positioning. Basically, whether or not the player is skilled, there is still randomness in the game.

I have a profitable friend who told me that when you are in a loss, don't look at that as a money taken from you. Instead think of it like a loan you give to the casino. There's no need for you to take it back right away. As much as possible take your time, it may have a interest later on. This shift my perspective a lot. In gambling there's no need to rush and take your money that you've loss. Casino will always be there. So it's not aonly discipline or self control. It's also more of perspective and beliefs around one's behavior.

same here mate, AI has not been fully used yet, there are trial usages that appear just like when there's an AI reporters were trending, the quality is not that good and another thing is that people are also the ones who manipulate the AI's so maybe they have not been fully adapted yet even if we say that we are in modern technology now, and if such an AI technology happens that almost everyone will work for the country, what about the people who may lose their jobs?

Most gambling addicts do not use reason to implement their strategies when playing so that their minds are completely controlled by emotions and make them lose in this case. Apart from that, we can also see gambling players who have fun with every game even though they also hope to win, but when they lose they just act normal and will try again another time with the same feeling. This is why being addicted to something is sometimes not good for ourselves, so everyone must be smart in enjoying it even though they have to lose many times before tasting victory.

I doubt there is a single one of us here that enjoy losing bets or money right ? if you do , I think you have some problems or you're mega rich and you don't care about money but 99% of gamblers really don't enjoy when they lose money as most of them are gambling to become rich and they are afraid to admit it and that is the first sign of addiction. For me , when I have a losing streak , I stop betting and maybe after 2-3 weeks I will try another random bet to see if I'm still in the same situation or my inspiration and luck are back.

It's not a game of skill, many people in this thread said it, and I agree with them. It's an illusion that the creators of this game bore in mind when they were making it. It would be a game of skill, more or less, if after you captured the prize it were guaranteed that you'll get it. Unfortunately, we all know that more often than not it's not the case.
