How many people have you been able to change after they get addicted to gambling? And what is there level of addiction?
From my own experience, I get to know that those gamblers who are secretly gambling in their rooms and develop the addiction habit have the biggest problem, gambling addiction is like 'wanting more' and never getting enough, you will have all day thinking about gambling, maybe if you do this or you do that, maybe the result will be different.
I was able to talk sense into two different addicted gamblers and they also get help from family members, but the major reason why they too so long in their addiction is because they don't open up to anybody, they kept it all inside of them and it's killing them.
Things get better after they voiced out about their addiction and they are able to get help, any gambling addicts you know of? what method works for you when helping them?
If you are facing gambling addictions and you are keeping it all to yourself, you are worsening your problem, find someone who is close to you and open up to them, letting it all out will bring you some relieve and hopefully you will get better, don't wait till you hit the rock bottom before you say it all out.
The title of your topic really caught my attention lol, when you have an addiction problem, it's good if you tell it to people you trust, surely the people closest to you will help you with all the experience they have. Don't keep any problems that you can't handle, you're just hurting yourself slowly. There are many methods that can cure someone from addiction, and one of them is by consulting a party you trust or a gambling addiction healing counseling agency. Don't let your gambling addiction drag on too long, be careful with that. |

Cristiano Ronaldo keeps defying age and setting records. Scoring 46 goals and making 12 assists in just 50 games in a single year is truly remarkable. At 38 years old, he's proving that age is just a number, especially when other players of his generation are transitioning into coaching roles in recent years. Cristiano's talent and determination are unmatched, making him a true legend in the world of football. We need to raise our voices and celebrate while he's still active. This is a once-in-a-generation milestone. It's no wonder he's still making headlines at 38; he just can't stop impressing not only his fans but the whole world. Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the football legends who is still actively playing football and setting record after personal record for himself, he doesn't know how old he wants to play on the field because many of his friends have retired or become coaches, CR will most likely retire from football at al nassr. The Saudi Arabian League seems to be bringing in more great players, there are rumors circulating about Casemiro going to Al Nassr, while Moh Salah and Kevin De Bryn still don't know what clubs in the SPL are interested in, the Saudi Arabian League is currently a league that accommodates many great players are almost retiring, so it's no wonder why the European Champions League is reportedly inviting Al Nassr to play. |

Gambling is known to be a game of pure luck but also probability, that's if you are good at math, this is what a fellow employee said to me, he then told me to look Chris Ferguson up, to my surprise this man won millions in gambling using math, I read this man is really good at math,
He created his own gambling strategy for poker completely on math and game theory instead of trying to focus monitoring the players, this man won five world series bracelets 🤦 and over 8 millions dollars in gambling tournaments.
There is also another man called James Simons, who is named the greatest gambler of all, he made more money using math than Chris Ferguson, James net worth is over 20 billions, I was shocked, because I use to think it's impossible to gamble using any skills, this is a skill on a another level, I am mad that I am just knowing this not too long ago.
School is not important as 96% of what you learn won't be used in the real world to make money, but this 4% left is making a lot of people rich, math and gambling seems to go with each other, what do you guys think? Am I wrong or right?
Do all people have the same ability in mathematics? Of course not... apart from that, many mathematicians don't like gambling because they are busy discussing mathematics at their school. i don't really accept your opinion which explains that school is not important, you should withdraw this opinion because school will always be very important for everyone. In some gambling games, skill is needed rather than luck, so not all gambling games rely purely on luck, nor do all gambling games rely on skill, but card games like poker certainly require skill (whether it's math, analytical or other skills) |

only people who have high aspirations implement get-rich-quick schemes, because they see bitcoin when it has a high value and hope to get more without knowing the process (usually people who enter/buy when bitcoin is having FOMO)
owning bitcoin is not to get rich quickly, it only delays continued poverty, if we enter at the right time and release at the right time too
There are still many people out there who buy bitcoin because they read the news that the price will rise quickly this year and some other FOMO news, if they are patient then they will definitely be able to make a profit but if they are impatient, they will definitely immediately sell bitcoin because they feel that Bitcoin is not really for making rich quickly. Satoshi created Bitcoin so that people can protect the wealth they have because inflation happens quickly and suddenly but Bitcoin will not be affected by inflation, that's what makes buying Bitcoin the best way for someone to protect the money they have from inflation instead of getting rich in short time cmiiw |

I agree with you anyone can invest in bitcoin according there ability. Bitcoin not require a huge money for investment like million of dollars. A bitcoin is made up of 1 crore satoshis. So anyone who can buy Bitcoin for just $1 can buy hundreds of satoshis. So if someone is afraid that he has a small amount of money which is not enough to invest in Bitcoin then I think he is completely ignorant about Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a decentralized coin and it gives freedom to everyone
there are several small units in bitcoin like satoshi and mbtc and i will usually use mbtc as my measurement when buying bitcoin because i am comfortable with it, to be honest there are a lot of people out there who think that to buy bitcoin they have to buy 1, i say that you don't need to wait to have money to buy 1 bitcoin, just provide a few hundred dollars to buy a small portion of bitcoin such as 1 mbtc or 1000 satoshi, maybe you can tell this to your other friends, when they are interested in investing in bitcoin but are having problems education that buying bitcoin doesn't have to be 1 bitcoin. |

I decided to share this story since this is my first time winning big on a slot game since I’m not a fan of slot games personally. I was watching one of the highlights video of streamer xposed in the youtube and see him winning big time on stack em by hacksawgaming slot.
I’m not a fan of slot game especially this provider due to high volatility game yet I still play the game after watching him winning huge multiplier.
snip
Sometimes watching streamer and being motivated to play unknown games to us brings luck out of nowhere. Keep on trying but just don’t over commit. Trying the unknown and winning big time is really fun experience.
Wow, congratulations bro on the win that you managed to get, i don't believe that you are very lucky when you watch a video from a streamer, slots are not an easy game, I don't know if that is one of the tricks used by game providers who provide slots to attract new players to play longer. The question is, do you have the intention to continue playing slots based on the videos that the streamer shares, will you become a big fan? You also have to be careful so that you don't become a gambling addict. |

If we invest excessively, our portfolio increases but spending every month will be burdened because a lot of money goes out to bitcoin while other needs are cut because we want to increase investment every week or month, of course this will be heavy and unbalanced people will definitely find it difficult to do this.
In as much as is good trying to accumulate a huge amount of Bitcoin as soon as possible shouldn't make us to invest excessively because at first you will be enjoying and feeling very excited with how much Bitcoin you have accumulated but however when other physical needs will arise that's when you will realize the need to have a reserve funds. Because one of the things I understand why most people invest on Bitcoin excessively is because of the fear of losing out, because whenever they see a very good buying opportunity presented by Bitcoin price they tends to invest all they have with the hope of managing to take care of there needs from other source while all there money are being invested on Bitcoin without knowing that if the other source could not satisfy there physical needs it could lead to a serious panic that would warrant them to sell some amounts of there Bitcoin. what you write here makes perfect sense, how can you be calm about investing when you don't have any other source of money and only rely on the profits from the investment you make for living expenses, even though in this era investing is a type of "job", if you don't have a clear goal in investing, it is not possible to get good results. profile your risks first, then organize your funds in such a way as to avoid failure to invest in the future, just imagine how much money and time you will waste if your investment goals are not clear and you panic sell, buy slowly using the concept DCA is the best method at the moment, don't use all your money, just take it slow if you want to invest in bitcoin. |

Do owners of betting companies place bet on their own platform or is there a policy specific policy that restricts them from betting. Do you think that there would be conflict of interest or that it will be unethical if owners bet on their own platforms. These are the questions that I am seeking an answer to.
just like drug sellers, rarely will they be successful if they use drugs too so i don't think that the owner of a gambling business actively gambles, he is definitely too busy taking care of his business so he won't have time to gamble, besides that there are many things that must be taken care of if you set up a gambling business, being an active gambler is not something that is easy to control, especially since gambling is a game that doubles your money, but i can't be 100% sure that in this world gambling owners are not gamblers, maybe in other areas the culture is different. |

Let's apply your forward-looking perspective to entrepreneurship and gender today. Gender roles have been shaped by society and biology, but the business world is redefining them. Women are transforming business, not simply entering it. Modern corporate leadership requires resilience, innovation, and empathy Support initiatives for women entrepreneurs aim to unlock hidden potential, not just level the playing field. Women in business boost economies and innovation. These programmes are prudent investments in a varied, resilient future economy as well as gender equality. So, aren't we all better off when we promote women's different entrepreneurial talents and perspectives? The goal is to enrich the business ecosystem, not only equality i understand what you are saying here, but if we want to see innovation, it is not only women who can innovate, so far there have been many men who have contributed to the world of business and innovation, it's not that i don't like gender equality in the business world but sometimes women find it difficult to put their feelings into work, i used to work with a boss who was a woman, to be honest, i didn't feel comfortable and finally chose to leave, often the words that came out of their mouths were very hurtful, in the end, the company went bankrupt now, i support gender equality, every woman and man has their unique way of running or managing their business and what i can conclude is that not all women are suited to running a business as well as men. |

Have you ever thought of giving back to the community if you ever had a successful gambling run? One of those punters on X, who usually wins large sums of money from betting, is giving out about 25 laptops to folks who cannot afford them, and he recently paid for someone's cybersecurity online course. Do you think this is something that you can do—give back to the community from your gambling runs? - https://twitter.com/mrbayoa1/status/1724168941931499884?t=1IglCrSnRsi-LZxxy6WHMQ&s=19if that person can give laptops to other people in large quantities, that means he has won a big prize, anyway, i will also definitely do what he did if i win a jackpot worth more than $30k, or the second scenario i will share 5% of i will give the proceeds from my gambling winnings to my family, relatives and friends and i will give another 5% of my gambling winnings to an orphanage. My mother keeps saying that people who like to give will always get good fortune and so far that saying has been proven enough in my real life. |

As El Salvador’s Bukele Approaches Re-Election, Bitcoin Entrenchment DeepensA very popular man from El Salvador is Nayib Bukele. With less than three months to go until El Salvador's President Nayib Buquel's re-election date, Bitcoin is seeing a steady increase in institutional support within El Salvador, suggesting a strong foundation for the country's experimentation with Bitcoin. snip El Salvador's election season is in full swing in the Republic of El Salvador, with the actual vote for President Naib Buquel taking place on February 4, 2024. El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele is famous for a few different policy decisions; While a large degree of his domestic popularity is due to his anti-gang crackdown, his presidency has been particularly noted internationally for his campaign to make bitcoin legal tender. El Salvador officially adopted Bitcoin as a valid currency in September 2021 after several months of effort, and since then the country has been home to an experiment of historic proportions.Many of the world’s financial institutions have shown considerable and persistent opposition to this experiment from the very beginning, and for fairly straightforward reasons: Before Bukele added bitcoin, the only legal currency in El Salvador was the US dollar. source Nayib Bukele is a president who thinks out of the box, he is a very extraordinary man because he believed in Bitcoin at the beginning and was able to convince the majority of El Salvador's parliament, the eyes of the world are constantly focusing on El Salvador and the news about their adoption of Bitcoin even now. , El Salvador's economy has also increased drastically because the world's spotlight is so big on El Salvador. Nayib Bukele's big projects will definitely get great support from the citizens of El Salvador if the price of Bitcoin continues to increase, El Salvador has become proof that making Bitcoin legal tender is not the wrong decision. |

It is important we make this clarification so that new people going through this discussion will not think that investing in Bitcoin is that complicated because it isn't. It is more of a mentality something after the financial aspect have been taken care of. By mentality, I'm referring to the ability to invest without fear, greed and the resolve to give the investment time to yield profits.
to be really frank, when I use to hear about bitcoin before joining the forum, there used to be this feeling of complexity attached to it and I never knew it's a simple thing that doesn't really involve much complex analysis before one can invest into bitcoin. I guess that's possibly the reason why some persons are afraid to invest in bitcoin because they look at it as one complex stuff that they will needd to take a whole bunch of time studying before they can get the basic knowledge that will guarantee proper investment all new things are certainly very scary for some people, especially if it is related to money, bitcoin is still new to the ears of the majority of people, in fact i rarely find people who actively talk about Bitcoin in crowded places, i also heard about bitcoin for the first time, quite doubtful about bitcoin, especially when i saw bitcoin at a very high price but slowly i read the history of bitcoin and all things related to bitcoin, for those who are still new to bitcoin, investing in bitcoin using the DCA method is something that number 1 i really recommend after that the next level is the buying the deep method. bitcoin is not that scary, bitcoin will never make people lose if they don't panic sell because they fall for FUD, bitcoin will continue to exist and be profitable if you take advantage of opportunities through price fluctuations. |

I want to start a discussion highlighting some points I read online regarding women as compared to men in entrepreneurship and the chance of success.
Men and women do not prepare for the launch of their business in the same way. The number one preparatory activity for women is specific training (43.3% versus 31.8% for men). Men are looking for potential clients (45.8%) and writing a business plan (42.5% versus 34.6% for women).
Market research is carried out by about 1/3 of men and 1/4 of women.
Women entrepreneurs are much less experienced than their male counterparts: 37.5% have less than 3 years of experience versus 25.7% of men.
82.5% of women start businesses alone (compared to 69.8% of men)
Men consider that they are more entrepreneurial than women (84.7% of men against 72% of women)
Men have much more confidence in the future than women (48.2% of women vs. 64.7% of men)
Men are clearly more confident in the success of their company than women: 72.4% versus 65.3
There are far more unemployed women than men among entrepreneurs: 25.9% versus 16.9
Women are 3 times less likely than men to have already tried the adventure of creating a business: only 5.3% of women had already created a business against 18.4% of men
As a result of the difficult economic times, do you consider that there will be more women entrepreneurs competing with men in this field which it so looks like they currently dominate? https://www.intotheminds.com/blog/en/entrepreneurship-differences-women-men/not all men's businesses can be run by women and vice versa, not all businesses run by women can be run by men, Apart from that, the support from partners, family and relatives that each woman has is very different, while men do have a natural ability to earn money either by working for a company or setting up their own business, so we will always see a very big difference between male entrepreneurs and female entrepreneurs. However, i see that things like this are actually not that crucial, we won't be able to see equality, especially when it comes to gender. |

I was thinking about this question over the weekend and I cannot seem to find legitimate reasons why people would want to play at casinos that do not require KYC verification. 1. KYC requirements reduce money laundering. 2. KYC requirements reduce under age gambling. 3. KYC requirements increase the possibility to hold people to account for their actions. (Exploiting casino systems) 4. KYC requirement reduce scamming 5. KYC requirements can be used to restore accounts after it has been hacked. (Using the documents that were used by the original owner) 6. KYC requirements adhere to government regulations and legitimize a casino. 7. KYC requirements can be used to reduce gambling addiction. (Identifying people that self-excluded or people trying to create new accounts) 8. KYC requirements can be used to enforce regional gambling restrictions. Why would you want to avoid being identified, if you gamble legally and if you are not a criminal? Let's discuss the reasons why KYC are not advantageous for the gamblers and casinos? Ps. I am playing Devil's advocate... if you did not notice it.  the discussion about KYC will actually be eternal, everyone will have the right arguments to support their opinion about KYC. In my view, KYC is personal, whatever reasons you use to avoid or support KYC are all correct. on the one side, i support KYC because i don't want minors gambling, they don't have time to know about it yet, but on the other side i reject KYC because it relates to a person's privacy and personal data which of course is vulnerable to misuse or abuse / bought and sold. Now it's up to you how you look at KCY!! |

Your parents are very rich and they have made a will while they are still alive Your parent is disinheriting you on the ground on one of the laws in our country about disinheritance that When a child or descendant leads a dishonorable or disgraceful life; because of gambling but they have not proven that you are a chronic gambler and you think you are a responsible gambler. Do you have a case here on the ground that it is not proven that you are a chronic gambler and have not lost a fortune in gambling, can you appeal this case in court to make the will invalid and get your part in the inheritance? Here in our country, you cannot disinherit your heirs as long as the heir does not violate what's stated in the law about inheritance and they just used the quoted message as their ground. What's your take on this and what do your country's laws say about this? why do you have to show your parents that you are a gambler? Parents who have never gambled will feel worried about the inheritance they will leave behind, they will definitely cancel it and there is even the possibility of giving it to world donations that are in need of money. Gambling is an activity that many people still cannot accept, so always gamble with the money you earn yourself, not gamble with your parents' money, other people's money or borrowed money because you will definitely lose that money quickly, (from what i have heard. The myth is like that) |

I still think Inter will be the favorite. but these two teams have quite equal strength. Juventus is quite strong with their defense. but they are less productive on the attack line. This is different from Inter, which this season has been very productive in scoring goals. Lautaro Martinez is the temporary top scorer with 12 goals.
However Juventus will play at home, and it will not be easy for Inter to beat Juventus at home. they will be quite solid. but the match could be a draw or Inter will be more dominant.
When facing Frosinone, to be honest, Inter looked quite overwhelmed because Frosinone's defense was very focused on Martinez, this is what made him unable to score even one goal even though there were several opportunities created. Inter is really in very good form, Inzaghi's effective strategy seems to be starting to emerge. for Napoli, well their current performance is not as good as last season, Napoli clearly looks very dependent on Osimhen, Empoli's goal in the 91st minute was really bad luck for Napoli. |

Question : is this a planned experiment regarding money supply manipulation and full control over society? Is this an attempt before implementing "temporary" currency internationally? A test on the population? What are your thoughts on this?
Uncontrolled circulation of money is just a time bomb for the country, besides that giving free money to citizens will not be effective if the money in the country only circulates within the country, not leaving the country. The government should prioritize buying products produced by small traders to stimulate purchasing power, because i'm sure there will be a lot of fraud that occurs, for example people who receive financial assistance put the money into gambling or other negative things, hopefully they will study their plan more deeply. |

While gambling some people gamble with small amounts which is not very important for them, but for those who are new to gambling and not able to control themselves or play with something reasonable amount.
So I have a tip for them you can stick a real paper money note in front of your monitor which will remind you that money is hard to earn and play responsibly or don't play with big amounts.
the note will remind every time that how you earned that money, and if you are controlled and this tip is not very important for you them you can ignore it, but i found this helpful.
i'm reminded of an acquaintance who put photos of his mother while gambling to avoid excessive gambling even though it's not effective at all, for OP's advice, i think there is no need to put money like that so that someone can control their greed when gambling, things related to self-control actually come from within the person's mind and strong determination. The most common thing that people who have weak self-control do to avoid excessive gambling is to set a gambling budget that they will start with, so they can avoid using too much money when gambling. |

I have a little knowledge but I need a guide. Bought some cryptocurrency like XRP and Bitcoin. Currently people only talk about Bitcoin but the price is very high for me to afford investing in it. I don't know why I feel like it's the only cryptocurrency worth investing and I would love to try but am still learning gradually about it.
deepen your insight, there is enough time for you to slowly learn about bitcoin and altcoins, anyway you have to study bitcoin well before deciding to invest in it, also study its history and price history, if your benchmark is price of 1 bitcoin then of course the price is quite high (i myself can't afford to buy 1 bitcoin directly lol) but there are still the smallest parts of bitcoin such as mbtc and satoshi, many bitcoin investors are use DCA to buy bitcoins periodically over the time span they determine, and so far it is an effective strategy even for employees with small salaries. |
