It's ethical to break your gambling rules but it's not recommended, the reason for that is gambling addiction. Like you said in your thread that had a rule to not gamble for 2 weeks but you have broken that rule and continued gambling in third week which is a sign that you're enjoying gambling too much, and that's can make you an addict. If you really want to be safe from gambling addiction then you should never break your set gambling rules.
Ethical? Breaking your own set rules is not ethical at all. The meaning of you setting your own rules is that it is your boundary; it is your limit to something, and the OP has rules that will stop him from playing gambling for two consecutive weeks. It means that he is trying to limit his expenses in gambling, although it doesn't affect his financial state. Still, breaking your own rules means you don't have the ethics to follow yourself or you are losing your discipline and control over yourself. If that scenario or habit continues, then eventually the OP might gamble nonstop, which will eventually result in his problems. Breaking such rules means anytime you can do it. At some point, you will think, What is the point of setting your rules if you cannot control yourself? And that's when a gambler will abandon or forget his own restrictions. |

I prefer crash, dice and slot games, I play different games every day, in my opinion, when I play I get an emotional sensation and I enjoy it when I play, I know what I play is just luck and not It requires too much skill, but I'm comfortable playing
Yeah, same as mine. I prefer to play dice and slot games recently because It's just easy to play and it only requires your money, time and depends to your luck if you're going to win or not. It does not require any skills that's why I see it as a stress free game but I don't know to others, but yeah, it is really interesting to play because you have no idea when will you shoot the win. Well, we have different insights because I prefer skill-based, analytic-based gambling games such as card games and sports betting because in skill-based games I can have more chances of winning because I can outsmart other players or the banker in order to win a match, and I want more thrilling games such as card games because I get to think about what to do or how to win. While in sports games, because I like basketball, I always watch NBA matches, and I'm familiar with the teams and players so I can get an idea of who's team has the chance of winning. Because there are only two choices, basketball is a battle between two teams. I don't want luck-based gambling games because I know that I'm not lucky enough and confident enough in my luck, and because I don't want the luck to handle my money, it's not that I don't trust my luck; it's just that I don't want to rely on it. |

Well, I think maybe because of the nature of the game, while in lotto you can only lose a specific amount of money, a little money in every ticket, while in cock fighting the owners need to invest in taking care of their chicken for fighting so it will cost some money, and in the phase of arena there will only 50% chances of winning, and it depends on how much money the owner invested and how much money the owner also put as a bet, so losing a lot of money will be more likely in cock fighting arena, and because the owners or gamblers are giving more attention to their fighters than what they should do. But the thing is, the blame should not be on the owner, because the one who is suffering is themselves also. If they can control their hobbies, then there should not be any problem at all.

Maybe in the past, bitcoin wasn't well known and only a few with the mindset of investment knew it, and they were the ones that believed and invested in it. But right now, because bitcoin or crypto currencies are becoming more hyped, many people are taking an interest in bitcoin. That's why the number of investors in it is increasing. But the thing is, what is the effect of bitcoin being known to so many? Well, if they can utilise or do great investments in bitcoin, then I'm sure many people will prosper, wherein they can earn a considerable amount through investing in it, and it will be more beneficial if this concept is introduced at a younger age so they can be aware and open about how they can earn despite being young or students. In that way, the economy will be good because more and more people have an investment mindset.

You can call it "community trading," meaning you are trading based on what you have learned or what you have gained in the community you are in. In that community, many traders are sharing their analysis and insights into the market. From there, you can formulate or plat your technical analysis of the market or you can follow what other's TA are there. It is a very good way to learn in trading, especially if the community is lively and many people or traders are very accommodating with beginners in trading, and also if that community is healthy. Well, it's hard to find a community like that, but if you can find one, then take that opportunity to learn a lot and at the same time earn. If you can take advantage of that, then you could become an expert in terms of trading. You just need to absorb all the ideas and knowledge you can get from the community.

No, yes, I'm a Catholic and I follow the holy week, but that doesn't mean I will also stop playing gambling if I want to. I don't know if gambling is a sin based on our religion, but for me, it's fine because I'm not affecting other people or involving other people in my gamble, and I'm using my own money for gambling, and that money I'm using is allocated only for gambling, so no matter what happens to it, it's fine.
Maybe in some religions gambling is a sin, but I don't think there's no one who will disobey it and will play gambling without others knowing, especially now that there's a lot of online casinos, so you can play gambling all you want, anywhere or anytime, without being caught. So the question is, in some religious person in this forum, how do you will gamble when you still gamble despite your religion's rule about gambling?.

Notice how mostly the advertising is all about casino websites or gambling websites on the internet or even in social media. That's how gambling websites are very in demand, but the thing is, this demand could also become an opportunity for those hackers or scammers that intend to scam people or drain people's money. Because many people or gamblers are being scammed, those scammers are becoming more powerful, and more scammers are emerging. It's like a trend in business for others. But the thing is, if the gamblers themselves are very cautious and secure with what they are doing on the internet or what website they are accessing, then there will be no people being scammed. Instead of finding a website casino by yourself, you are lucky if you are in this forum because you will have an idea of what websites are trusted and secured because they can't advertise their website here if they are scammers.

My highest bet in a game, where I bet in an NBA finals 2017 where the match is against GSW and Cleveland, I bet approximately $300 dollars on the side of GSW because, based on their plays, they more likely have higher chances of winning, and the game was too thrilling because of the game and also because I bet a huge amount of money, and yes, luckily I won because GSW is the champion of that NBA finals that year. It is my first and last time I will bet such an amount in a single game, and how much am I willing to bet right now? Only $100–$200 is my limit, my lowest and highest amount that I could bet on. I may have won the higher amount I bet, but still, the feeling of anxiety and worrying is not what I like. I would rather bet another huge amount if I'm sure about the outcome of the match.

Your friend's got himself into a right mess with that gambling. I know you think it ain't all bad, but borrowing money to gamble til he lands himself in the hospital? Pretty clear sign of trouble if you ask me and s
hey, it's good you worry about him and all. Just tryin to tell him it ain't bad when he's strugglin' so hard might not work.
Dudes gotta admit he's got a real problem here, not make excuses for it, right?
A typical story of a gambler, where he would take the risk of the funds meant for other important aspect of his life. Though it is not a new story in gambling, but people should learn how to handle themselves in front of their games, so as not to compromised them into a tight situation. .Well, true, this is common. Even if this story or statement is true, it is common that many gamblers risk their money to be used for other things and use it to gamble in the hope of earning or double it, but in reality, that's not always the case, so after the result of their gambling, they will either have regrets or they will be in joy because they got a win. If you ever treat or hope gambling as a source of income, then you are digging your own grave. Gambling will never ever be a source of income as it has the bigger chances of losing money. No, expect that you will lose more than you would win. Yes, if you win or hit a jackpot, it could change your life, but the thing is that luck will never be given to those just hoping. Instead of investing or doing business, stop gambling if you are not responsible enough. |

It has beed discussed a numerous times that even gambling is made for fun or the intention of a gambler at first is for fun, eventually they will change as you will not undergo change if they end up losing more money than winning in gambling games, and because losing is the common nature of a gamble then expecr that at some point gamblers will lose it and abondo the fun part and start to play gamble for the sake of money, lets face it no matter what fun we will think about gambling in the end of the day many gamblers are being too addicted with gambling that they will start to stop having fun unstead recover the money they have loss or some hoping for a big win that could change their lives. I personally undergo changes when it comes to gambling; I develop anger management and am also too reckless when it comes to money handling.

I usually bet on NBA sports betting because I like playing basketball and watching basketball, and because I'm too familiar with the teams and players, I more likely have a hint or idea who will win up against a team. That's why I can say that I mostly win in basketball or NBA betting because, like I said, I'm familiar with the team or players, so when there is a match between two teams, I can do analysis to see who's team might win, and I also bet on a specific player. I think, like the OP said, to bet on a sport where there is only one player from each of the two teams. In that way, you are increasing your winning chances by 50%, and it is also more like there are a lot of betting in basketball, especially in the NBA. And also I think basketball is the most thrilling sports out there or maybe its just my favorite sports.

I don't think there's a relation to that because if there is, then private keys or wallets are already compromised and being dried by those hackers. Notice that whenever you search for a private key in Google, it will show almost the same pattern because all private keys have the same pattern, so expect that you will always see that webiste, but I don't think there is a relevance to wallets or private keys being compromised. I think before you throw some news or blame, you should also have solid proof about your claims because you might ruin a business name. If you are not trusting private keys, then don't store your assets on them; instead, find more secured wallets that will give you different security aside from private keys. As an IT person, I don't think that this claim is true. If it were true, then all wallets with private keys should have been compromised by now.

I also agree that every Bitcoin investment should be long term at this point because we know there’s no way we will wake up to see 2x in a short time as we have passed those days when Bitcoin was worth a lot less and could easily be worth a lot more in really short time. People who hold short term still manage to benefit (especially when a huge money is invested), but the long term holders have a better ground.
While that can be a good idea, it's also worth noting that you need to enjoy the short-term benefits of hodling, selling a small portion of your bitcoin stash isn't a bad thing albeit it's not a good idea, you can always do it to buy yourself something nice and you can always buy more bitcoin along the way if you're doing DCA so while you're also hodling for the long-term, you're not also getting bored doing because when you do this. I know not a lot of people won't agree with this but I'm just here giving you the options that you might want to consider so you're not just hodling for the sake of hodling. Money will go away and come back but there's some experiences out there outside of bitcoin that will never return. Selling a small portion of your Bitcoin isn’t a bad thing, but I don’t think you can liken it to Short term trading because you can be a long term trader but you only sell a fraction meanwhile your goal of holding for the long term doesn’t change. But then I think that selling even a fraction of your Bitcoin can bring inconsistency. I can’t think of a better way to explain that but instead of investing an amount you may need its fraction before the harvest, then stake less (stake what you wouldn’t need to depend on). True long-term is the key to getting a lot of profit from bitcoin, but the thing is, if someone needs some money, or, let's say, they really need money because of energy, and the only money that person has is his holdings, because you've gained quite an amount in holding bitcoin, you can use some of the profit and do what you need to do. What I'm saying is that based on my experience holding bitcoin for a very long time, I frequently cash out some of the fraction of my holding because I really need it or I want to buy something. Do I regret that? No, because I'm making sure that I still have a huge amount of bitcoin holdings and am not stopping from investing. It's not bad to use your holdings, but don't dry them down or use them for very important occasions. Anyway, it's your own money; it's up to you how you use it. |

How then do I mange the expectation of people on me such that i don't get into depression when I'm unable to meet up with it.?.
Simple: don't meet their expectations. Are you a people-pleaser? A people-pleaser will do anything that other people expect you to do, or you will make decisions or movements based on what other people expect from you; if not, then why bother about the expectations of other people? In this current world, you should become independent, meaning you should mind your own business and ignore what other people will say about you. Don't let what they say about you go through you, because if yes, then it will only limit you to what other people expect from you. What I mean is, if you want to become an artist but other people or your parents expect you to become a doctor, will you follow them? If yes, then you are limiting yourself to what other people want you to be; you are exchanging what you want for what other people expect from you. Don't please anyone because you will be the only one affected. |

I do agree into your point that this would really be also depending on what kind of work you do have whether if its office based or a field based one on which it is possible that you could really be able to paly gambling when you do have an office work compared into those who are at field on which it is really that safety hazard or really very dangerous on losing up your focus. This is why
it would really be just that depending on what work you do have but in overall or frankly saying that its never been good to play or whatever things that you would be doing in working hours.
You arent that getting paid for making up those activities but rather you are paid on doing with your job, you could do the rest when you do get home.
You know, many of us, forum members, read and post on the forum during their working hours. Many use work PC to read news, some watch YouTube parallel working. Some might take a pause (without asking others) and out for 5-15minutes for a smoke. Other might have a stomach problems and run to WC every few hours. If we have a working days from 9 to 5, it does not mean that we starting working at 9, and finish at 5, and between those hours we only work-work-work-work. Frankly, we slack a lot during working hours. So where is that gap between reading news at work (meaning not work) and gambling for the same 5-15min (meaning not working)? Why it is not good to gamble, but to got out and smoke every hours and with every colleague is ok? Ethics at work is the main point for every employee who works in a government office or private company. Other things that are done but do not interfere with working hours, I mean just relaxing to refresh the brain due to being too stressed to complete work are still acceptable because the duration does not take up too much time. Gambling activities can make you forget your responsibilities, the adrenaline produced when gambling is very different from just reading or watching videos on YouTube. You will become more immersed in the atmosphere, especially when you are lucky, your mind will be increasingly encouraged to continue betting due to the positive adrenaline produced by the hope of getting a bigger win. I agree. I don't think anyone can have a straight mind and a focused mind if they are doing gambling at work. If they experience losses, then there is a change in mood or emotion in that employee, which might affect not just his work but also the people around him. The same goes for winning. As you've said, the gambler worker could become so overwhelmed that he will lose focus in his work and eventually will never notice the time, and at the end of the day, he will not be able to complete his task. But if you are an employee who could manage to balance work and gambling, then that's good because you still have the resolve to work despite the result. So in conclusion, I'd rather balance work and other things, but inside the work or office, I want to focus more on my work in order to complete it. If I have spare time, I could maybe play a few gambling games. |

With all humanity, I have came across several topics and thread that speaks about gambling with what we can afford to lose, sometimes this kept me wondering and pondering why this words "Gamble with what we can afford to lose" is always common. Okay let me digress from that, and come to think of this you will see people gambling with at least $1 to $100 or even more this is dependent of what anyone can risk right? Yes!
Put this in places that if you keep those money into investment do you know how much you would gain by the end of the month or year without even you making such profits while gambling but yet we kept preaching the word "gamble with what you can afford to lose" why not some people use that same money to go into bitcoin investment or any other investment that could help their lives rather than wasting them into gambling and even secure a better winning themselves.
Does this really make sense, sometimes I have to reason twice and come to think about something very important which we don't always pay heed to because we always believe that when spending about $1 to $4 is something we can afford to lose right but, it may surprised you if you Sum all this little dollars into investment and savings you (we) would probably make a good investment and savings at the process reducing our gambling rates and lost.
Let us discussed to if this can save someone from gambling addiction.
People don't take this advise serious they see every stake in gambling as an opportunity to make money but it is not as the think, gambling is not a sure stuff, it not even an investment so gambling with much funds shouldn't be encouraged because someone can be bankrupt if this gambling with huge amount if money continue to exist, however it an individual thing and I think that there is know among of advice that can be give to a man who has decided on what to do that he will adhere to, but in real sense gambling with what you can afford to bear the loss is an effective way of controlling your gambling habit to stay in a particular limit without going extra mind. True gambling is more like a waste of money, because there's no even 50% chance to win in a gamble unless you are super lucky enough to have frequent wins and you are gaining more money than losing, but we can't blame other people because they still hope to win in a gamble because, yes, literally, you can earn a lot or just one jackpot and your life could change upside down, but is it enough basis to just waste money in gambling without the assurance that you will win one day? I personally don't hope that my life could change because of gambling because I believe in my own skill to become rich and successful, and I treat gambling as my kill time or just for fun. So a little money to be used for my fun is not bad at all, as long as that money is for me to afford to lose. |

What do you expect? Business is business no matter what it is, and casino is one of them. Of course, they have a system wherein they can earn so that they could sustain their business. And about the winnings of the players, if you know how gambling works, you know that no matter what amount or how many players win, the casino will not be bothered because what gambler wins is the money from other gamblers, and OP is right about that. Casino has a cycle where there will be a winner and a loser, and those excess money will go through the casino, and also every game there will always be an entrance for the casino and also in a specific game. So I think casinos are more beneficial in terms of profit because it's their business, while among gamblers there is a cycle because there will always be a loser and a winner.

That's the reason why I don't trust password managers, because the thing is it is connected to internet and database and because it is an application for password for sure those hackers or malicious intents targets this kind of application, that might explain why you've lose your bitcoin, I hope you've learn your lesson that instead of storing your password in important account such as crypto wallets better store it in a paper or any kind just don't put it in internet because it can be easily compromised, well, for me I have a special way of storing my passwords and seed phrase but its a secret, its just I have a multiple series of condition before I can access my password storage but do not I'm not storing it in internet. Maybe you have your own way of securing and storing your passwords rather than relying on applications that will handle your passwords.

Well it's not basically about being educated or graduating with the best grades that makes you wealthy, it's about determination, being consistent and also persistent cause success and wealth are not achieved in one day or immediately after graduating. In as much as you have good grades, you must still improve your skills, not only job skills, marketing or management skills but your critical thinking and problem solving skills.
Well technically yes, we have many popular and successful person as an example, the creator of facebook, even he didn't have a degree and graduated he become successful because he used his skill and knowledge in order to come up with something that could make him successful. Well technically you really can become successful or rich, if you will use your skill and knowledge or where you good at, its not necessary that you didn't graduate means you are dumb, in the end of the day the success of a person will depends on how will he manipulate his life in order to become successful. But of course nothing's more satisfying than having a degree or graduelated, like I said if you don't want to then do what you want but make sure you can be successful, because the truth is now a days it became a norms in society that you will be looked down if you didn't have a degree or it will be hard for you to get a job because of the required degree, what I'm saying is that if you want a safe place then do your best to get a degree first but if you are confident enough that you can do better in life even without that degree then its good. |

One thing I can only say for this kind of people is that they are missing a great opportunity. Let's face it, many people are ignoring the presence of bitcoin even though there is news about its movement, but they choose to ignore it and spread negative comments about it. I know we can't please all the people to believe and invest in bitcoin; it's just that they are wasting their time trying to pull down bitcoin, but in reality they can't do that because more people or investors are believing in the power of bitcoin, and I'm one of them. I encounter many people who say bad stuff or don't trust bitcoin because it is risky and dangerous, and yes, that's true, but there's no investment with no risk, right? Its up to the investors on how they will do great in their investment; making the risk into profit is such a good skill to be added.
