It’s crazy knowing how far people are willing to go so as to be included in the will and given a portion of the wealth of a deceased family member.
It’s sad to see people not willing to work and provide too themselves cause they were privileged to be born with a silver spoon.
Children who bicker and fight over a recently deceased family member’s possessions in a bid to greedily get a large portion of possessions left behind do not deserve such things. Perhaps that’s why such laws exists prohibiting irresponsible children from getting a piece of their parents wealth after they’re gone.

Trust has little to do with taking loans from a bank. It’s more like the lack of financial credibility from the loan applicant as the bank wouldn’t believe the applicant could pay back the loan at the stipulated time.
Applying for a loan for a business is serious business as no one would be willing to invest in a pipe dream.

I agree with you on the need for information and need to make proper research in preparing a business proposal. A good number of applicants don’t take their proposals and presentations on their ideas seriously and the lender would end up not being interested irrespective of how viable the business may seem.

Overthinking it could sometimes take away all the fun out of it and anxiety slowly replaces the feeling of excitement that was initially there. And that’s why I think people dream up notions about the possibility of earning an income from gambling.

Casinos, being in business to make profit, is not really different from any business that has profit oriented goals. would create a suitable environment for anyone willing to gamble. After all, it’s only natural for businesses to be innovative and want to provide the best environment for customers.
I must admit. Not having clocks or windows so people wouldn’t be time conscious would go a long way in making people stay much longer and spend more money.

In cases like this, the cashier is likely the last person to run after defaulting clients to get them to repay their loans. Most times and like banks, there is some sort of collateral in exchange for the loan and in the case of a default, the collateral is promptly seized.
In some cases where the loan shark was so lovely and understanding to give you a non collateral loan, you can be sure these people have their not so pleasant means of getting their money back. Certainly not a business suitable for just anyone.

The first step is thinking of a business opportunity in your immediate community. The next part which is a bit tricky is getting the required capital to kick start your business. An initial capital is not a small amount and a lot of people, not having such sums themselves, turn to other sources for a loan.

The bank, which could be said to be the source most people turn to when looking for a business loan would have to be convinced about the viability of the startup. They, not being so hopelessly optimistic about the prospects of your business being a success would scrutinize your proposal carefully so as not to have a bad debt later on.
You’ve convinced yourself on how successful the business is going to be. Irrespective of the source for the loan, you’ve got to convince the other party as well. No one or financial institution is eager to fund just any project and likely lose money later.

If it were only that easy to first comfortably have some huge amount of money just sitting around in your account and then use that money and invest in some business and start making profits.

The government already has a considerable and quite worrying influence on the choices and decisions of its citizens. The idea of them butting in and limiting your options on who you can include in your will is crazy. It’s simply not the governments business to dictate the eligibility of people in a will as an individual should have the right to put and take away  on his will, whoever he chooses.

Could a will be challenged in court? Isn’t the will supposed to be like an open and shut thing? If nothing was willed to you, you get nothing.

Stats are for people who want to present or have a detailed report on something and while I’m yet to meet someone who would want to be continuously updated on the sizable chunk of money he has lost overtime compared to peanuts he most likely felt really happy to have won, there may actually be some people who have and keep such detailed report of their gambling history for whatever reasons.
I think the average gambler which includes the group of gamblers who play for recreational purposes as well as those who aren’t frequent and play at random could care less for records of their gambling which would probably show more loses than wins.

A plan, no matter how much thought was put into it before it was carefully put together for implementation is always open to change. Whenever we plan for the future, we should make our plans more flexible as the future is yet unknown making your plans open to failure.
Of course, adamantly sticking to a plan made for the short/long term future would be challenging as unforeseen circumstances could that wasn’t thought about nor planned for could arise threatening the feasibility of the plans.
I’ve had to change already made plans midway through as things weren’t going as hoped/planned out and needed some changes to the original plan.

When you’ve awakened to the point that football could be considered more of a business than a sport for entertainment, then you won’t be so surprised by clubs letting go of top players that is still relevant and could still perform well in the squad for the right price.
Admittedly, that money would probably be used to bolster whatever position seen to be underperforming in the squad. For the right amount, a club could be willing to let go of its top players. Especially if the club is not adequately funded and needs all the money it can get.

Well, you’re literally copying a bunch of other peoples  games having little hopes to extremely high and unrealistic ones. You’re not the only one that do this as a lot of gamblers copy and replay bets from supposedly high profile gamblers to replay.

I think it’s quite absurd to place destiny and gambling together. In gambling, it’s more of luck and skill than destiny in my opinion. There are people who’ve won bets, having copied wholly/edit games to play from someone else. I don’t think there’s any big deal to that.

You should have a rethink on your decision as while it could bring about losses as well. Any start up is difficult to start and yours wouldn’t be any different. If anything, it would be more difficult to start and manage.
In order words, you can be considered as a loan shark who prey on the ignorant and others who, having made poor financial decisions, are in a fix and needs quick funds.

Your clients that you would give loans to won’t be credit worthy and you run the huge risk of running at a loss. Unless of course you’ve got some means of making broke people have money to pay back their loans.

Chelsea had put up a really good fight in the game played against Manchester City earlier and following that performance, I also wouldn’t be surprised anymore to see Chelsea have a win over Newcastle keeping aside the fact that they’ve got players currently nursing their injuries. The tie match in the  game against Manchester City would be a morale booster to the team.
Not everyone can withstand the pressure Man City brings in their games and would end up losing to Man City’s superiority. Chelsea wasn’t intimidated by any of that and it was proved by the goals from both sides.

The recreational activities you enjoy doing is definitely not the same as the next person. There are lots of things can be considered a stress reliever and for some, gambling may help relive stress cause they enjoy doing it.
You love gaming and your worries are temporarily forgotten when you play games on your console. Some people like and see gambling as an activity that could relieve stress and others like you don’t.

Comparing the funds spent in gambling and in getting a gaming console is irrelevant. For some, it’s not about the money. It’s more about the activity enjoyed than the funds spent.

There is no actual health benefit to be gotten by most people from gambling. People who play recreationally and for fun would probably have some stress relieved from their bodies as they’re doing something they enjoy doing.
This isn’t the case for everyone as people gamble for fun as well as a host of other reasons. I think any stress free pastime activity that an individual enjoys doing would naturally relieve stress in that person. These health benefits are not beneficial for everyone and not solely gotten from gambling as an activity.

Luxury goods are there to distinguish the rich and wealthy from the middle and lower class and only the rich and wealthy are able to afford such products without having to worry about the price being a problem. Wealthy people have investments that continuously bring in income. Without investments that would bring in steady revenue, someone cannot be truly wealthy.

They say time is luxury. I say for some and for others, to an extent. We all know the clock is continuing ticking, waiting for no one. A Prisoner, having been incarcerated have had their time and freedom cut short as a form of punishment. They’ve got all the time but most wouldn’t consider that to be a luxury. Lots of people have a lot of time and energy and are still not being productive.

Is making purchases without knowing or checking the price of some products seen as a rich thing? One thing is for sure, the price of a product is one thing that’s always talked about in a trade. Even billionaires are aware of the price of their latest yacht. Some even seem to be proud of its build and worth and flaunt its price every opportunity they can get.

Although, there are some people that actually can’t be bothered about the price of goods whenever they go shopping. They are certain the total amount of the purchase won’t make a budge in their pocket.
It’s sad that people go to extra lengths to let the society know how rich and wealthy they are while living hand to mouth in reality.

Welcome to the forum. From your post, I think it’s safe to say you’ve successfully managed to browse through the forum and have started learning new information that is beginning to change and broaden your perspective about bitcoin. That’s good.
A lot of people had likely thought along the same lines as you once did and a lot more probably still do. It can be satisfying knowing all your questions has already been(in some old thread)or will be answered.
You seem happy on joining the forum. So be sure to read through and know things that are frowned at. Although it’s primarily about bitcoin, this forum also hosts a variety of discussions aside talks about bitcoin, so explore!

With their performance displayed so far in this competition, it’s clear to me that they wouldn’t be able to comfortably play and compete with other teams in the round of 16 if they manage to qualify. There is simply very little support from supporters I’m aware in their quest for the champions league trophy.
They had initially looked really good in their away game with Copenhagen. I had thought the game would be quite difficult but Man United would emerge victorious. I was dead wrong.
With Bayern, I just can’t count on Man United for a win. With Galatasaray, I don’t have much hopes either.

Gambling with crypto or with fiat currency has one major thing in common. You’re using funds to place bets. So it’s pretty much the same advice you could give anyone new to gambling irrespective of whatever means of payment is being used.


I think this needs to be repeated continuously so people would know and have it on their minds whenever they gamble. There has been threads on this board which after going through them, one would easily conclude that there are people that really do see gambling as a means of earning an income. This is truly where addiction slowly creeps in. Gambling can be fun if you’re responsible and also sensible with your finances.

When there isn’t any pressure to earn an income from gambling, there wouldn’t be any pressure to play more after losing repeatedly in a bid to win back money lost. No pressure to go borrowing from wherever whenever your finances start depleting.

A lot of people do seem to copy or imitate another persons playing style and capabilities. They wouldn’t mind or are plain ignorant of the financial strength of such people and would copy them at their own detriment.
This could make one place bets with much more money than they can comfortably afford and when they end up losing such amount, there is the urgent need to try and get such funds back and the individual would end up spending more money than initially planned.
It’s safest to plan and actually stick to said plans whenever there is something that warrants spending money.
