I wouldn't waste my time talking to my wife, she'll not understand anyway.
she will . its better to confront your problems with her if that really bothers you because that can release stress build up . Gambling is a man's game and usually a wife would not understand it unless he herself is also a gambler.
gambling is not only for men but its for all genders though its not for all ages and for all countries . here on our place i can see many females playing card based games and bingo every single day . I might seek some guidance to my fellow gambler who have been able to control themselves in gambling who those who have been been to cure themselves from addiction, and I prefer to take to people which are family members or a close friends.
i think your fellow gamblers is also addicted to gambling and cannot give you an honest advice because they cant also cure their selves . you better talk to your family members because they are more effective .

I remember some local news from my county with a senior high student got a thousand dollars debt with his classmates, tricking them just because of his gambling addictions, sports betting if I remember it correctly. That's alarming with every young people got too much engage with this bad habits.
thats true because when i was on high school i see many students that playing different kinds of gambling in the school campus . other times i can also see them outside of the school playing billiards with money involved . even myself i was also addicted to gambling . when you are addicted , you will try to do your bad habits anywhere you like even if its risky .

why the price of bitcoin continues to decline, I think many investors have sold it compared to people who bought it, so the price of bitcoin will also not experience a faster increase.
i dont think many people will sold thier coins on this current trend . people are now hodling and buying instead but idk why the price have not yet increase succesively . oh well , it maybe the whale's fault because they are the one's that manipulate the price in order for the price to move in a random direction instead of a steady manner .

When I go to the rules pages, it asks me for login.Woudln't be better if the people could read the rules without having to register an account?I just don't want to create accounts here and there and leave them. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) aw thats bad . most sites usually post thier rules outside without having the need to login or register . but thats good because you did care about reading the rules while most of us didnt care about those stuff's because we are being lazy to do it . \ Playing skills based games are always tempting many gamblers to test their skills inside the games
agree . skill based games are more indemand because gambler see's them as an easy money but it turns out that thier expectation wasnt real . not all skill based games are guarantee to give you income . of course the best team/players also experience a bad luck .

Yes,that could be the attitude of a real investors. Always looking on the future bright side and not the situation that wil put you down. Use this current market as your stepping stone to meet your goals in the future. Invest more and make profit someday because we are sure that market will not always in dip,it will rise in a exact and perfect time.
Optimist and confident is the key if we already make a research. I am agree that we should looking for an opportunity in this bear market conditon. Buying more good coin in this bear market is an opportunity if we believe this market will recover again It seems to me that today So far there is no Hope to hope for positive changes in the cryptocurrency world. The market will not recover until the manipulator stops artificially directing the cryptocurrency market. Few days ago, cryptocurrency market cap rising more than $10billion and its indicate crypto market will survive and can rising again. Its our opportunity for buying more coin and when market full recover, i think we can make big profits there is statement about ETF approval from SEC Commisioner that make investors confidence to buy bitcoin and other altcoin.market very optimistic now after that statement, and perhaps it will continue to rise in futures,so total market cap could more than 500bill again. we see today, the market is increasing, and hopefully that is the beginning of that effect. there is much hope that the event will bring in many investors, so that it can increase the price of cryptocurrency. and hopefully this can be a new encouragement for bitcoiners who still hold it for 2018, as if getting new hopes and looks like good sign appear in market now, price and total market cap rise more than 10billions only in few days.maybe in march after we see ETF approval price will going crazy.but deep in my heart current movement just trap for us. trap ? no i dont think so . the ups and downs are normal and it did happen all the time . about etf's i dont also think that they will approved btc because they already reject it many times before . i feel that this comming march , etf will do that again . they will make another alibi but its okay if they wont accept btc because they are not the only one that can help this market recover . many investors are going to enter this market because btc is really a promising investment .

I have been able to save myself from gambling addiction. I used to gamble with the money I can afford to lose but, some time i lose control and busted some fair amount of money. Then, i tried to think of people who were addicted and the misery happened to them. That's how i slowly reduced spending time on online casinos. Now I am happy that I took the decision to refrain myself from playing a lot.
good for you because you overcome your addiction . i know that its hard to have an addiction in gambling because money is always at risk and involved in here but you know what we do have some similarities as i also beat my addcition although not on gambling but for other addictive activities such as watching nsfw contents , playing video games , procrastinating , and others , etc .. it feels to good to live the life in a balanced way .

Good to have this guides before going to casinos. Lucky for those who do not need to experience first before gaining knowledge and techniques. Its good to have your own gambling strategy though. You can acquire it later on. Just gamble with moderation so that you will not become addict. we dont need guides before we step in on a casino or in online gambling . we dont also need strategies because they wont work effectively as we all know that gambling is purely based on 90 percent luck and 10 percent skill . Just gamble with moderation so that you will not become addict.
this ! addiction is the root cause of evil . if we can do things in moderation we cant acquire this disease .

He lost over $300,000 within 48 hours.. This is crazy money for me.
yes the said amount is freakin huge . i could retire from my job and live for the whole 5 years if i have that amount of money but for him maybe that is only small , thats why he didnt care at all even he loose it on a day . How is possible? If you catch "bad" or "lose" day need stop betting.
yeah . bad luck means bad luck , you need to stop for awhile and try again your luck next time . Sport bets is high risk, I prefer blackjack for high amount.
good for you . for most gamblers they think that sports related games are more easier because they can analyze the best teams but thats not guarantee at all times . gambling will still be gambling and all will depend on luck

Crime has been there since the inception of this world and casino or gambling did not increase it. I cannot think of any connection between the two of them and because of that I don't think gambling do contribute to crime as crime is a thing of the mind.
when we hear the word gambling the first thing that come thru our mind is money . the gambling platform and the gambler have a money , that is why criminals will target them but the crimes that are related to gambling were only few when compared to other crime's out there . maybe because some casinos are guarded or have a high security and gamblers are also cautios in which criminals cannot effectively penetrate them .

So the guy made a 150 BTC deposit? That should be alarming for Cloudbet if they couldn't handle the action imo. They should at least limit how much that guy could bet or they'll probably take a huge hit.
If they couldn’t pay out the win then they shouldn’t have accepted the bet, if they don’t pay out it’s disgraceful. correct . gambling operators should know that gamblers do also bet higher amounts and 150 btc is only small compare to other big time players . cloudbet must not start a gambling business if they only have a small amount of capital . i thought Cloudbet is really legit knowing it existed for a long time
same here . i knew cloudbet long time ago . Being around doesn't make you legitimate
of course it does . people can easily get attracted if a site is running for a long time but yeah we will never know in the future if they will colapse

i think that the gambling addiction problem is equally widespread at all ages even if growing among young people, it is not easy to get out of it takes so much strength
Yes . gambling addiction or addiction in general is verry hard to beat but it is possible to cure your self if you are willing to change . gambling isnt bad anyway and there is no point of quitting it permanently . all you gotta do is minimize your self playing it . make sure to do and prioritize other important stuff's .

walk of shame is the opposite of walk of fame but in the case of the op that cant be considered a shameful . loosing is not shameful but rather it is stressful , depressful and regretful . so what if you loose ? loosing is normal and there is nothing wrong with it . it is only shameful if you are stealling someones money and then you loose it all in gambling .
@op just tell them the truth and move on . basic !

i believe that the main characteristics of a good player should be calm, do not be afraid of losing, do not consider the game a source of income but a fun
i agree on these "good player should be calm, do not be afraid of losing" but i dont agree on this do not consider the game a source of income but a fungood player is sometimes playing for fun and other type of good player is playing for the profit . A good gambler should know their limit when playing so they will never get addicted to it. They should know their budget and knows when to gamble only. Must know what should be the possibilities of the outcome of their game, that's really important of all so they know how to move forward if ever they lose.
yes all those good habits are possed by a good gambler . he cant be called a good gambler is he has a poor strategy but they arent also perfect because they are only humans . they sometimes make mistakes but not quite often compared to regular gamblers .

I don't like Crypto games in general. I don't think that is good type of investing instead of other. You should make real things if you want real result.
maybe you dont like games but what about us ? we love to play a game and its much better if the game is related to crypto . that kind of idea can surely become a hit . IMO, investing type of gambling will not attract people to come because the bad image that crypto being received recently.
its normal for people to have a doubt whenever they see a bad market condition but that didnt affect thier ability to play gambling games . everyone loves gambling , thats why i think it is a good business to start with .

Asking for less volatility of bitcoin is akin for asking for centralized structure for bitcoin. We need to understand that what makes bitcoin bitcoin is it's high volatile nature. We cannot do without the volatility as it is a core feature of bitcoin.
no need buddy . bitcoin nowadays is already becoming stable , thanks to the bloody market because this makes people get scared to invest because they think that bitcoin cannot recover anymore . We need to understand that what makes bitcoin bitcoin is it's high volatile nature. yes . we already understand it . volatility is our friend but idk why someone still hate it .they didnt like when btc goes down because it can take forever to for the price to recover . We cannot do without the volatility as it is a core feature of bitcoin.
yes . i cant imagine if bitcoin is not volatile . i think it wont be indemand and the value cannot grow drastically .

In my experience bounty managers care about the outcome of an ICO just as much as a bounty hunter, which is not at all.
no i dont think so . bounty manager is just like bounty hunter . they only both care about the money . they even not care if the bounty is scam or not as long as they are being paid , its not really a big deal for them . They shoot themselves in the foot trying to milk "free" tokens out of it by doing as little actual work as possible, then get disappointed when the ICO is a failure and the tokens fail to achieve value. I hope the practice dies down soon.
little work huh ? hell no . doing a bounty is not a piece of cake . its hard to post for 3 and more months without assurance if you will going to get paid or not . thats the maine reason why they get angry if ever the project becames a failure

Source (in Ukrainian): http://mvs.gov.ua/ua/news/18175_Kiberpoliciya_vikrila_cholovika_u_vikradenni_elektronnih_koshtiv_z_kriptogamanciv.htmMy short summary: The suspect worked in some unnamed crypto exchange based in Britain as tech support worker. He was targeting accounts of inactive users without 2FA installed, he was changing or adding recovery emails to those accounts, which allowed him to reset passwords and steal all user balance. The police estimates that he stole 720,000 UAH this way (~26,000 USD). The suspect was spending stolen money on gambling. This should be yet another reminder to never store coins online for long term, and always use strong 2FA on your account and your email. I agree that 2FA should be always enabled by users of exchanges this will add another security of your funds but enabling 2FA doesn't mean your cryptocurrencies are already safe, if the exchange you are using got hacked or planned an exit scam your funds can still be stolen, that is why never use exchanges for storing big amount of cryptocurrencies even the exchange is well known, but I'm just curious what exchanges are those he worked for. I don't want to click on the link of your source so I made my own research but can't found any similar to this. Anyway, good thing that this man gets caught already because it is possible that he will continue to do that. not only in an online exchange but also on other accounts as well because this adds extra security to our account and hackers will be having a hard time to hack us but if a hacker is really dedicated they can still hack 2fa enabled accounts . they even hack an exchange which has a tripple security . me myself isnt a fan of 2fa's because i dont usually store my cryptos online for a longer time . if ever i have some , those coins are still not expensive . so i guess hackers wont ever got interested on my account .

Fud news is only affected beginners with little knowledge .
no mate . im not a beginner anymore but i notice that im still affected with fuds but i can somehow control my self . while newbies are the real target of these fuds , they easily believe and panic . Only people who know nothing about bitcoin and crypto in General can spread the negative.
how can they spread fuds if they dont have a knowledge in bitcoin and on crypto ? most fudster are actually crypto users and they are doing fuds because they want people to panic so that they can take advantage of the situation .

Those who invested in bitcoin way back 2009 had not experienced any bull run before nor have much knowledge about the blockchain technology, yet they took the risk to invest. You and I have witnessed a bull run and heard about the numerous potentials of crypto so why do we still have to feel reluctant to invest in bitcoin. Let's be optimistic about our digital assets because its all we have.
The market is now continuing to grow so what is the reason for us to leave? I remove all of the doubts in my mind for me to focus. I keep buying bitcoins and some profitable altcoins due to the high returns that I can get. We witnessed the bull market last 2 years ago, we trust the flow of the market for us to earn benefits. yes the market is now growing but unfortunately some peeps are still deciding to leave the crypto scene because they have more important things to prioritize other than depending on the unsureness that can crypto give to them but for us we will always continue whatever the issues that crypto might experience because crypto is our only hope to achieve a better life .
