So while we are on the discussion and topic of gambling, I wonder if there has every been a scratch off ticket thread?

I was at the gas station today and I said screw it lets get two $1 scratch of tix because why not.

The first one was a flop, but the second one was a winner! I won one lol Just $1. Whoopty doo lol

So I used that winner ticket to go and buy another ticket, and guess what!? The same thing happened again and I won one lol.

I am going to go back tomorrow and get another one and see what happens and keep you guys posted!


Here is a fun question: What is the most you have ever won off of a scratch off ticket? What brand ticket was it?

It's unfortunate that the couple split after winning a jackpot. Splitting the prize equally is the best solution for their situation. 50/50 share will help prevent tension and stress for both, and of course, there will be fairness and avoid conflicts. It's better to find mutually agreeable resolutions than have ego battles since it rarely leads to positive outcomes. Always maintain calm, be fair and have communication.

This story has a happy ending because the author began to limit his losses and play for small amounts. This is the right strategy. We cannot know whether we will win, but we can very precisely control the amount of our loss. Plans to rest after winning and reflect on your victory also seem quite reasonable. This is necessary in order not to make hasty decisions that could cast doubt on the winnings already achieved. Buying a physical product that you can hold in your hands is also the right decision.

Although Bitcoin is considered the most popular and dominant digital gold. And it is also a safe investment because the risk is small and good for the long term which will produce lots of profits, and that is one of the reasons why many people or investors should own Bitcoin. Because Bitcoin is better, other than choosing something else.
Because actually this is not the only cryptocurrency worth investing in. You can look for many other crypto assets that may be more profitable such as Ethereum (ETH), Binance Coin (BNB), Cardano (ADA) and many more. And it depends on your expectations from investing in this industry.

As long as teaching about good money management and investment is done within reasonable limits, I don't think it will cause problems for children. Because talking about learning about good financial management and investment is something that is quite important for our children to understand, because this is initial preparation before they are truly adults and able to be responsible for all the decisions they make.

However, if this learning is done too excessively, then instead of the results of the learning being able to make our child even better, in fact the result of learning being too excessive, this could actually make the child's growth and development worse, because at an early age he have to endure heavy mental and emotional stress. Learning about finances and their management is indeed very important for every child to get, but we must remember that everything is done in accordance with the measure. So that children do not feel burdened by learning. Because the capacities of children and adults are different, and if learning is delivered beyond the child's capacity, not only will the learning be wasted, but this will also have a bad impact on the child's mental health.

Tama kabayan dapat meron pang additional side hustle or mas mainam kung may stable na work para tuloy tuloy and pasok ng pera at may ipangsusuporta kung sakaling nasa trading ka, similar lang din yung experienced ko kasi naranasan ko din kumita ng maayos ayos sa crypto pero hindi ko rin naalagaan kasi akala ko tuloy tuloy na sya, puro palabas ung pera lalo na nung panahn ng pandemic na talagang kahigpitan ng pagkakakitaan, pasalamat na lang din talaga ako kasi meron pang kahit papanong kinikita at meron pang madudukot na pang gastos.

Just a heads up and I forgot to mention which is crucial to this topic. If ever the OP decided to use gcash and just use PH number to register which is possible since I have friend that use gcash app on Canada.

There’s a feature now on gcash which transaction protection. This feature will make sender have the ability to refund the transaction just like Paypal which is very dangerous feature for a transaction like this. I hope that he will not a victim in case he decided to use Gcash to receive payment.

I am sure over confidence must be avoided in anything you do, not only gambling. Gamblers are corrupted by over confidence after their first ever big win. I think exeggarated confidence is weakness.
Another issue I believe with gamblers is that they sometimes do not give up. Some gamblers grow hatred towards some specific game after they experience extraordinary amount of losses. And they just keep trying. Sometimes its must better to give up, clear your mind and return to gamble with another game.

It is not a foolishness as long as you take it as a fun bet (not to make money). When you know that your favorite team has so low chance to win means that the odds is big so placing a small bet will be fun as it may give something nice if your favorite team win the match unexpectedly. It will be a foolishness if you do it all the time and with decent amount of every bet merely because you are a fan of the team.

The more optimized the process gets the easier gamblers lose their control. Gambling at home helped increase the high rate of gambling addicts. This happened as a result of accessibility. Waking up next to our gadgets which leads us to gambling is different from moving from our home to the casino. Gamblers now had to fight the difficulty in controlling themselves from gambling on gadgets each day. Which seem quite impossible. Unlike in the past when gamblers after of period of thoughts can decide not to visit the casino, due to stress or transportation cost. Today gamblers suffer from addiction as the regulatory measures for figuring out underage player is not adequate.

Casinos have better advantage on finding out who is underage or not. Online gambling puts lots of risk on teenagers who have the drive for more money. And careless about their self-control. Peeping through the future, one could say that the fresh technologies wouldn't come with one that reduces addiction. It all gets better but facilitates addiction. Which is a problem to the society. Human wares enjoy a well-developed software a lot such that they can't stay a day without using the computer system. Hence, the more developed a software is, the more glued a player would be to his gadget. In a nutshell, the future gets funnier, but may not help in removing addiction.

Build a successful career in gambling is difficult because it's related to many things that every people should have. They must have many things that they should learned before they decide using gambling as a profession or career. They should already know that many people trying to do that but many of them fail in the middle or when they are just started. Gambling is for having fun so they don't have any intentions to used gambling as a career and makes money. But some people who has much experiences on gambling can used gambling as a way to make money but they don't tells to other people because they don't want to be blame if other people can't do what they do. The worst thing that people can gets from playing gambling too often and not controls themselves is addiction to gambling and that can comes anytime and most of them will not know if they already gets addicted to gambling.

Hi,

As everyone knows the goal of betting is to get the largest amount of money , knowing that the risks do not change whether you bet a large or small amount, and sometimes the amount you bet with is your capital, and this drains you of your time and money, and perhaps your work and daily tasks.

Do you think that the benefits in gambling Worth the invest of your money and your time with knowing that your chances are Just 50/50?

I think children should learn about money & money management quite early in their lives. You can start by rewarding them with pocket money each week for doing tasks around the house. You can allow them to save up for something they really want or budget weekly to afford sweets, chocolate or whatever. I won’t tell my kids exactly how much money I make but I will teach them about Bitcoin & how to use it so they can take over when I die.

Well, that can makes your works can't finish in the right time and clearly, your focus on your work will disturb. When you lose, your minds will back to thinks about your loss and will not realizes that your gambling time is over and you now must continue your work until it finish. But because of you gets lose in gambling, your minds can't thinks clearly and not accepting the lose so that can interrupt your emotion and your work. It's why that if you want to playing gambling, you better doing that in your home and not in your work because you risks your work and that can makes you gets fired when your superiors knows.

Keeping gambling habit as a secret is not bad at all and there are two reasons why people do this.

1. To avoid discouragement from people around them.

2. They care about what others says about gamblers.

In some countries, gamblers are big sinners, the way people stare at gamblers is like that of someone who is lost in his own dream, and it can be a stamp for you when you are sighted at a casino nearby.

I won't ever discourage anyone not to gamble, but I will tell them about the cruelty of becoming a gambling addict, so that they will be cautious when proceeding, the truth is you can never know what will work for anyone, just because you hate gambling don't mean it won't favor someone else, this is why I don't discourage people.

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.

Spin games are a lot of fun but they are very risky because no one can tell who will win when. When one bets on spins he has to give up his entire bet amount as a loss but if one is lucky he can win and if he wins he wins something huge which can change his life.  I'm amazed at the story the op shared here that a man put his entire life savings into a single bet. He was lucky enough to win there otherwise he would have lost all his life savings. It is good to gamble with risk but one should never take a risk where there is a possibility of losing a lifetime savings

I have a bit different approach towards sports betting and gambling in general. When I place bet or gamble, I do it not to earn money, but do it for entertainment, to add a little bit spiciness to watching the game. Those who place bets and dont watch, I think are those who use gambling to earn and physically cant watch all the events they have placed bet on. I prefer to get maximum emotions for the money I have spent on a bet.

They are not protecting any citizen against any omen, but they are just being foolishly ignorant to accept the revolution Tech. but the earlier they accept, the better for them. The reason behind why they are so rigid about cryptocurrency is that they only captured the negative side of it without looking at the brighter side of it, sometimes I think most of them haven't benefited much about cryptocurrency thats why they are so stiff. But I believe with time they will see the important of cryptocurrency bitcoin to be precise.

These sentences are very easy to say, but in my opinion it is very important that you always write down these motivational sentences and then read them and absorb them. For young people, apart from education and seeking experience, they must also understand how to adapt to the environment according to their passion. By being able to manage himself, it will be easy for him to think long term at work. When his instincts start to sharpen, he will do positive things, including saving and even daring to invest. So there's no harm in anyone always giving motivational sentences so that young people can be independent.
