401  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Success or Fail? - Talking about Gambling as a major income on: October 04, 2023, 11:36:22 AM
      -   I have a status-level account in a casino since I enjoy gambling. That isn't truly what I want. Because I am aware that obtaining a VIP membership at a casino requires a significant amount of accumulation on the platform. And I have no desire to carry that out.

Since the only thing that keeps me entertained when I gamble is enjoyment, I only consider it a win if I walk away with money that will support my family. When I play, it is also restricted; in other words, it is for amusement. Simply put, I don't really feel terrible or take the defeat personally; I'm just doing what I always do.

That's good if you don't want to get a VIP membership at a casino because the accumulated money we use to reach the VIP level is very large. But other people may be chasing the VIP level to get something from the casino, and it is profitable for them if they have reached the VIP level.

And it's better to use gambling as fun by not chasing the VIP level because after all, sooner or later, we will be at the VIP level. But if someone wants to make gambling a source of income, he should be able to think about it more deeply because gambling is not a place to make money. He should look for other sources of income to earn money.

Indeed, attaining a VIP level on a casino requires a huge accumulated amount of money. The amount might even come off as impossible to spend, but most players especially the regulars can attain it in a short span of time. Some might even attain the needed amount in a snap. It all depends how aggressive type of gambler he is and how frequently the player makes a bet and play. If you don't really mind the level perks or so called tier perks, then might as well don't bother because it will just keep you spending more and more.

Just remember to gamble within your budget. Do not go beyond what you can afford to lose because it's hard to earn money after all. VIP level shouldn't be chased, rather it will come naturally depending on your betting and activity. So just chill out and gamble responsibly.
402  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you gamble till old age or not on: October 04, 2023, 10:49:06 AM
Actually, I don't plan to gamble at all, if I feel I want to then I will whether it's 30 or 60 as far as I can afford to gamble. I have no idea how my old age will be, and thinking about gambling at that time wasn't even in my teeny-tiny thoughts.

Don't bother yourself with such deep thoughts now which you can figure it out at that time depending on how you want it to be. Cheesy

It's a good thinking that you are considering if you can afford to gamble or not despite what age bracket you will be on. It's important to take things into consideration before planning and making a decision so you won't regret a thing later on. Additionally, it's best to be financially capable the moment you bet and play, regardless of age, but of course, not being underage or below age limit. Just be prepared so when the time comes, you still have so much to spare for gambling. Work your ass off now, then relax and enjoy your heart out later. It's better to have delayed gratification than to enjoy now and suffer later.
403  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Navigating the World of Online Gambling on: October 03, 2023, 12:19:16 PM
After a considerable period of using platforms like Stake.com and Rollbit, I find no compelling reason to fund any other gambling platforms except for the sheer sake of experimentation. Reputation indeed ranks as the foremost consideration for gamblers, as we all rely on them as custodians of our funds.

Up to this point, online platforms are generally more appealing than their offline counterparts, except for large casinos. The odds offered for offline lotteries have proven to be no more enticing than those available on online platforms. Who knows, I simply appreciate the convenience and flexibility, which ensures that my gambling activities don't significantly disrupt my mobility.

Reputation ranks one of the first things to consider in a casino by gamblers. I believe gamblers have become more wise and more strategic when it comes to picking a gambling website they will bet and play on. It's a good thing that people are now critical and logical thinkers since their effort, money, and time are all at stake whenever they decide to play and bet. So might as well give your best shot and do not be complacent.

Having a casino website that has built its name over time therefore being trusted in the industry should be one of the suggested sites to be played on so players won't be scammed. But of course, one must put an effort into researching too and not be spoonfed. After all there are already so many reputable sites that caters reviews and feedbacks of the first hand experiences such as here in forum.
404  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: New ID requirements for Gamblers in Australia on: October 03, 2023, 10:27:43 AM
The Australian government is just every other government we have, that do initiate an engaging idea to benefit itself and not the large scale citizens, and can easily regulate and ban and restrict with the slightest ease.

Unless the citizens do not have a national identity card or work i.d cards to identify themselves in real life with, this new I.d requirement for gamblers all in the guise to specify the gamblers ages, or restrict gamblers is but a waste of budget and time.
Australia is way too urban to make gambling life difficult, mostly as it is surrounded by natural wonders, wide-open spaces, beaches, deserts, "The Bush", "The Outback". It's like a dream destination for many of us in other continents like myself. I do hope to gamble someday in Sydney but it would be bad if gambling is as restricted and limited as they are making it be.

It will be a tedious task for the government to implement new system of identification for gamblers, but perhaps they really want to monitor who are frequently gambling so they can make plans on how to organize the regulations and restrictions on gambling whether it may be online or physical casino establishment. Although it's much better if they will just have a national ID that has been synced with every transactions so they can still be traced without the need of new ID because at some point, it will just consume time and of course, budget that still belongs to the pocket of the taxpayers.

If the purpose is only for age monitoring and legality matters, national ID will work already alongside with other things they do or pay, it will be recorded.
405  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? on: October 03, 2023, 09:50:16 AM

Not been financially balance will pushed one to indulged in things ought not to be considered valued, gambling have never put food on the table or pay the bills, rather it settles lesser wants and keeping extra changes in the pocket. Entirely we should not depend on gambling because it's possible outcomes will not favour us and we tend to make ignorant decisions that will end us. We gamble inother to increased the figures on our account is considered clueless because we're keen on losing more significant figures if we don't utilized our useful time in scouting other activities that would generates the necessary desirable outcomes.

Gambling shouldn't be anyone's main source of income. This is because in gambling, there's no certainty. Everything is about the game of chances and probability. If you will rely on gambling to pay your bills and to put food onto your table to be able to survive the daily basis, you will most likely be disappointed in the long run because foremost, it isn't sustainable to begin with. And secondly, it is risky to earn and profit using it. It's still much better to have a main job that will provide for your necessities and perhaps a part time job to sustain your luxurious lifestyle such as buying your wants and funding your hobbies. Then have gambling as your hobby that pays on the side if you will be lucky enough to earn through it.
406  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Credit card gambling fuels gambling addiction on: October 03, 2023, 09:03:40 AM
Sometimes the convenience provided by credit cards can be a disaster for those who do not understand good financial management, especially in the case of using credit cards for gambling. Using credit cards for gambling can be much worse because besides users increasing debt by using credit cards, they also use them for something unproductive which can disrupt their finances. Credit card companies should prohibit the use of credit cards on gambling platforms, but it is a shame that they do not care about such things.

I very much agree with this.

Credit card usage can pose a danger to the user especially if the user himself doesn't know financial management and isn't disciplined and responsible enough to learn it. Credit card offer convenience and ease of use, however, most of the time, the card holders bring headache upon themselves because they commit the usual mistake of using their cards irresponsibly such as doing excessive shopping and gambling without checking if they can still pay their dues afterwards. Hence, it will really be a good thing if there will be a policy about credit card usage intended for gambling. Might as well limit the possible expenditure per person or do not allow them at all to use their cc for gambling.
407  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamble Responsibly on: October 02, 2023, 11:34:20 AM
~snip~
Yes you are right that mate cause once a man or a woman involve in gambling  and they don't have responsibility the there's a chance that they will get into addiction cause we all know once they played and win a good amount they will bet again and again. But those people who has responsibility and self control then after spending their money neither win or loss then. They will stop Ang come again nextime.
That happens if they don't have responsibility because they can easily become addicted to gambling. This will happen to both men and women, and when it happens, they will only think about gambling non-stop, and if they have money, they will continue to gamble. Whether the result is winning or losing, it doesn't matter to them because they just want to continue gambling. Maybe they will rest for a while after winning, but they will come back to gambling again. So self-control and responsibility are really needed when gambling so they don't experience bad problems.
Therefore, we have to set limits on ourselves so that we don't get too caught up in gambling. Gambling is fun, but it has the effect of addiction if we can't control ourselves, just like if we fall into drugs, if we can feel the effects, we will also become addicted. It is important to give insight to ourselves so that we don't go too far so that when we do anything we don't do it haphazardly and always within certain limits.
but not all gambling addictions are bad depending on the nature of the person, for example experienced gamblers are usually addicts but they are still responsible so they still have certain limits on when they will stop and when they will play again so they dont make gambling benchmarks create bad thing for him.

Gambling indeed has its repercussions if it isn't done right. If you can, do your best to gamble responsibly and moderately so you won't get addicted. Excessive and frequent gambling can lead to dependency and addiction in the long run, which could cost you so much of your health, money, time, and effort. It's best to be a disciplined gambler so you won't have a hard time in the industry. If you will be a wise gambler, the chances of you winning will be higher with low chances of getting addicted into it because as a wise gambler, everything comes with balance and control.
408  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can money be saved in gambling sites? on: October 02, 2023, 10:58:02 AM
Yes because it's another form of banking, and even if your government doesn't tell you to keep your money on a gambling website you can proceed and do the same, because it's your money.  Grin

How can someone be so stupid that they decide to keep their money on a gambling web-site? Do you not know that it's even a risk depositing your fund on a gambling website? There are many fake casinos out there waiting for a convenient time to rug people of their money and you want to turn them into a bank?

You are free to do such because it's your money, if you believe that casinos are safer than your bank then good luck, as for me it's the stupidest thing I've ever heard of, the name casino even sounds a red alert to me because I know they are in for the business of making money, so anything is possible.

You don't have to be told that this will cost you a lot if care isn't applied to this, it's your money so you are free to keep them wherever you believe they will be safer.

Same sentiments. For me it's plain stupidity to even think of putting your hard-earned money through a gambling website for you to save it. Because in the first place, gambling site isn't intended for that purpose. Gambling websites can be vulnerable and you might encounter bugs or even closing of account once your account goes dormant despite having big funds on it. And that will just bring you so much trouble. Additionally, gambling sites can file bankruptcy and close all at once without you even knowing especially those sites that aren't reputable in the first place. So you should really think many times before deciding to save on a gambling site. Banks or vaults are still the best options for me next to crypto portfolio.
409  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Violence and anger could be a sign of gambling addiction in youths on: September 30, 2023, 03:54:06 PM
It could be a sign of gambling addiction, but it could also be a sign of stress, anxiety, and depression or basically just being a bad human being lol. It depends on the person actually. If it is known that they have anger issues and violent tendencies, it's much better to tell it as a concern citizen so they can address it and they can resolve it. You may check up on them every once in a while, but not in a way that you are intruding their privacy and personal space. Just don't meddle too much especially if you're not really concerned and just want to pry on someone else's life.

So newbie, stay of trading futures if you know nothing about technical analysis or fundamental analysis for not to be ruined.

I disagree with this last statement of yours.

I mean, every single professional traders started as newbies, you would never grow any knowledge if you're not going to try your skills when it comes to trading. It is risky, yes, but it is important to get out of your comfort zone to figure out what's waiting for you in trading. I'd rather try it first than to regret it my whole life asking what ifs.
411  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino is a Games of Chance and Entertainment on: September 30, 2023, 12:26:33 PM

People did not see gambling for fun, we all admit that we see gambling before as a major source of income or maybe the higher your will and desire to earn more that more you see gambling in the wrong side. We should not see it in that way because if we do we will be addicted and we will rely too much in gambling and soon we don't have many left. Gambling is made to entertain not to be a stream of passive income.

Indeed. Most people view gambling as a good source of income because of testimonials that it brought them a good fortune while only having a small startup amount for betting and playing. While it is possible and it came true to some, it doesn't mean that it will always work that way and will also be applicable to everyone. There's no same level of luck, skills, and circumstances afterall. It varies from one person to another, so one must not believe and be encouraged for everything that can be seen online. Since most of the time, gamblers only post their good times and are not really open about the tough times they have undergone.
412  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you seen gambling advertisements on TV? Opinion. on: September 30, 2023, 06:10:21 AM
Here in our country, there's no such thing as gambling advertisement on TV, this is because there's an agency that filters the ads being showed on national television to protect the children's welfare. Almost all, if not really entirely of the advertisements in our country are rated G which means that it is suitable for any audience. And if there are ads that weren't filtered in the beginning, the mtrcb will remove it from being aired ever again especially if it is bothersome and could promote harmful effects to the viewers.

Hopefully, there will also be an agency like ours to filter the ads being displayed and played on your TV. This is to prevent kids from being exposed to unwanted scenarios that could cloud their judgment.
413  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you believe Technical Analysis? on: September 29, 2023, 03:58:15 PM
If you believe in luck in trading, why not believe more in technical analysis.

Technical analysis increases the chances of predicting the price chart right, it also boost your profit since it's much better rather than just simply deciding a random trade and hoping for a big profit, that would give you only frustration and depression leading to a much more difficult situation in your trading career.
414  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Before You Send Your Bitcoin To Hardware Wallets I Do This! on: September 29, 2023, 03:17:09 PM
Ledgers are multi-cryptocurrency wallet so instead of using Bitcoin just to test out if you can send and receive, why not just use altcoins that are also supported in a certain ledger to make it cheaper since Bitcoin transactions cost more than altcoins.

Factory resetting it is more than enough already, unless you bought a secondhand ledger which I don't recommend. But there's nothing wrong with being more than sure so I guess you don't have to be cheap when it comes to your funds security and self-assurance.
415  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Banking scams ...How are Bitcoin better? on: September 29, 2023, 02:30:55 PM
Fiat system is easy to hack compare to the complicated system of cryptocurrency which makes it unique.

A lot of money being stolen freely by hackers or an inside job in a bank always happen because of its security. For me, I think the attacks that happened and still happening in some banks are not always because of hackers, it is the bank itself lowkey stealing their customers money by just blaming it to a third party, some of them didn't even give any compensation for the lost money of their customers, that's why I never trusted the banking system.
416  Economy / Economics / Re: marry rich: marry fiat rich or crypto rich, which is better? on: September 29, 2023, 01:24:19 PM
Everyone will have a different answer to this type of question. Love is often seen as the essence of marriage, but it is not love that makes a marriage last for decades, but commitment. Life without love is like a garden without flowers, but love without material support will also wither due to limitations in the freedom to express desires to obtain something.
Social and economic aspects are needed for the welfare of couples as a vital factor in marriage. It is very realistic for someone to look for a life partner who has material things, in the course of marriage there must be a balance between love and money.


I definitely agree with you.

Marriage and relationship always last for a lifetime if both parties never agree when it comes to material things. What I mean is, it is much better if you guys met, love each other unconditionally even though you guys both started with nothing, not rich, but not that poor. It is much greater when you guys helps each other to achieve each other's dream and succeed together, this way, a solid foundation is built.

Rather than choosing your partner based on what can they make or how much they have, because if you guys experienced bad things like being bankrupt, for sure you're going to end up with a divorce.
417  Economy / Economics / Re: Is academic pursues enough to get incomes? on: September 29, 2023, 12:24:49 PM
Getting a degree doesn't guarantee you to get a job that pays well if your government is the problem, or even if not, sometimes people who excel in school doesn't excel in the field, so there's a lot of adjustment that is needed to evolve to get the job you wanted. Your dream job won't come knocking at your job the moment you graduated with a degree.

Dream job often comes after hardships, a lot of efforts, but it comes in a different way depends on every certain individual. If you know that the employment rate in your country is low and you don't want to leave, just start your own business or company. If you don't have that capability to do that, you have no choice but to go somewhere else where someone would appreciate your talent and skills.
418  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling game is not good and everyone should stay away from it on: September 28, 2023, 01:42:28 PM
Gambling has both pros and cons. It will depend on how you will gamble - responsibly or irresponsibly. If you are disciplined enough to have a good routine for playing and betting, you will have a good time gambling. Being entertained while profiting on the side is already a win-win situation. However, if you will not set limitations for yourself and you will gamble impulsively and recklessly, without calculating and analyzing the possible results of your decisions, then most likely you'll fall into addiction and have chains of problems hanging around your neck.

It really depends on what type of gambler you are. If you are an aggressive one, might as well reassess yourself so you won't lose big and you won't have pile of debts and loans.
419  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Behaviours of gamblers you dislike. on: September 28, 2023, 12:10:53 PM

Loss chase in gambling is fuelled by greed the moment a gambler conceptualize the believe that he can recover his losses he has taken a decision to lose more money because you just can't beat the game out of a revenge state of mind.  An excellent way to have a smooth gambling life is to make sure to have a gambling budget, a budget amount that you can afford to lose based on your income.

 In the absence of a budget every money in hand can easily be directed to gambling , and what causes loss chasing is as a result of gamblers using money meant for some other projects to gamble and when they lose that money they can't help but want to recover it by all means thereby leading to more loss.

People have different perspectives. Some view losses as chances to do better and eventually get back on track to win. Others see it as failure and a sign to stop and just exert the effort, time, and money to something else - a redirection in short. So it will really depend on what kind of person you are and how risk taker you are. If you want to play it safe, you could just stop after several losses to evaluate yourself where you went wrong and how you can improve. But if you are the impulsive and irresponsible type, then probably you won't mind about the consecutive losses because you still haven't grasp the idea that you might indeed get bankrupt because of gambling.

Either way, just always be reminded that everything has its consequences. If you are a risk taker, there will be chances you might win big which is of course, a good thing. But you might also face losses that you might have a hard time recovering from. So just gamble responsibly and do not be a naive one.
420  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sometimes just flex it ( luck is all you need) on: September 28, 2023, 11:02:20 AM
So sad it's just a small money

Betting a few cent, imagine you are just betting maybe under 1-10$ would be great result. Same like me, I always doing all-in betting everytime got free balance my highest win with all-in. Succesfully all-in 5x time and ended with 980$

From just 25$, lucky enough

Well, betting amount varies from each person to another. Perhaps OP doesn't want to risk an amount beyond that because he has a feeling that he will regret it if it goes wrong in a snap. And I think it's a smart choice to not bet a huge amount if you can't afford it to begin with. It's like cheating yourself and disrespecting your boundaries which could possibly lead to more chaotic scenarios if you ever get used to it. While you might be sad because it only involves a small amount of bet, it might be a good news to him because he won regardless and that's what matters after all. Flexing a win without stooping on others right and without deceiving them on how you made your winning is not wrong.

Additionally, going all in isn't applicable to anyone. But I'm glad it worked out for you.
