5321  Economy / Gambling / Re: Why do you still want to play fake web2 casinos? Why we choose web3 casinos on: July 14, 2023, 09:39:29 AM
The only advantage I can see for a web3 casino would be the NO KYC aspect. Gamblers who value their privacy might want to consider this option. I have never used a web3 casino but if you are betting on-chain directly I can potentially see issues with it being to slow and expensive. Even layer 2 blockchains can have high fees and face congestion which don't make it ideal for really small transactions. If a popular casino like Stake moved their entire userbase to an on-chain casino, that blockchain would slow to a crawl and fees would skyrocket. I wouldn't want to make a $5 bet and end up having to wait hours for a confirmation and pay $10 in gas fees.
I doubt that because we know that the government can pressure any business that hasn't asked its users to do KYC. So if the web3 casino hasn't asked its users to do KYC, it's only a matter of time and could happen anytime. The transaction will likely experience a bottleneck when there is a wave of transactions made by many users due to momentary panic and that has happened before.

People may still play at web2 casinos because they already feel they know the casino more closely and don't find any difficulties. That's why they still use web2 casino to play gambling and are not asked to do KYC by the casino.

Indeed, if you can stay as it is, treating gambling as part of entertainment and not to engage too much to save both time and your money, for sure it's the best decision as you will not be eager to try other options just to have an edge when betting with your favorite sports, to the extent that you'll participate with paid groups thinking that you may have a better chance when tipsters that you pay will give you a sure bet to place your money.

It's not usual or maybe not really existing, there's nothing that accurate and sure in terms of gambling, better to play with your money and your own understanding and decision making instead of leaning things to someone who you need to pay for tips.
That is good advice for everyone because by treating gambling as part of entertainment, we will not try to cross the line by risking more money, especially since we know that gambling is not to make money. We can only play and try to enjoy every gambling game and maybe this will allow us to relax; who knows, we might be lucky to win. But by joining paid groups, you have to spend more money to subscribe to their tips we don't know whether their tips will be accurate or just guessing. And it's better for us to learn to analyze each game by getting more information to improve our abilities in terms of analysis.

People are slowly starting to rely heavily on technology. In the coming days, this human-made AI will help him in almost every level. But we may all agree that since humans created AI, no AI can surpass its intelligence. If there is a competition, it must be between AI and AI. With the passage of time, AI has undergone major changes. What we have to accept is that no matter how powerful AI is, it is controlled by humans. Moreover, this AI is also made differently for the benefit of different tasks of people. As people's thinking power is developing, technology is also improving. Many of the imaginary scenes we see in movies today will be implemented by AI in the future.
Yes, that will happen in the future because, with the development of AI, it can help almost all human needs and work. It is only a matter of time until AI technology can reach the stage humans desire so that AI can assist human activities in various aspects. But I think that in the future, this AI will be able to run independently without being controlled by humans so that artificial intelligence can develop simultaneously. I'm just a little worried that AI can have its own will later, like what we see in these fictional films, because AI might colonize humans.
5324  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. on: July 14, 2023, 08:25:28 AM
Quitting in gambling needs more support to those people around the addict because if the addict alone he cannot leave gambling easily because it will needs more comfort and he needs people to understand with him and when every he goes he needs a buddy in order to successfully quit in gambling. Also by the help by himself of course because if he will not help himself then all the efforts by his family will be useless.
Getting support from people around the addict is a must so that the addict understands that there are still people who care about him and want to help him to cure his addiction. But there must be a strong desire from within him to recover because if there is only support from the people around him, it is not enough for the addict to start healing himself. The help and moral support of the people around him will make the addict realize that he deserves a second chance to recover from his gambling addiction. And even though it's difficult, the addict can get through it well because the people around him will support him.
5325  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: You must do this if you want to QUIT or NOT on: July 14, 2023, 07:54:49 AM
When people have found pleasure in playing gambling, they will find it hard to stop gambling. Maybe they can manage their gambling time, but to stop their gambling activities, they need more than just confiding in others because this involves realizing what they get from gambling. Maybe they don't think about gambling or winning games but they want to keep going back to gambling but in a different game. And if they find a new game in the casino, they will be interested in trying it.

If you really want to stop gambling, you need to have a strong desire and have to do other activities that can take your mind off gambling. Many people have tried it but still have much to learn to get used to it. This habit is still difficult to start regularly, especially if they have often played gambling.
5326  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is more important for crypto users? on: July 14, 2023, 07:18:25 AM
We know that chances and probabilities that it could give on which same as you said that we could earn fast and lose fast and if you are accumulating coins for long term or for future years to come then this is one of the way on which you would be thinking up on fastening up the process but of course it would really be having that kind or particular risks which you would be needing to face if you are really that persistent on doing so. Sooner or later you would be able to realize that on the option or step you had made is never been that ideal or a good choice.

Gambling is different with trading or investment which it should really be separated. There should really be a specific amount or budget which it is allocated for gambling on which it is really not that right on thinking up on any investment on the time that you do play so that it wont really be giving out that kind of thinking along the way.
Even so, many gamblers still don't know about it and keep depositing their coins to gamble because they hope to increase the amount through the wins they get. But that's not the reality because they will find it difficult to win gambling games, especially if they don't have luck so they will lose their coins later. And when the coins started to run out, they realized what they were doing.

And instead of using the coins to trade, they are using them to gamble but that has already happened and cannot be recovered. But some gamblers still try to recover their losses by continuing to gamble. Meanwhile, there is a difference between gambling and trading or investing, and we should be able to allocate a certain amount to be used for trade and investment so that it won't interfere with our focus on gambling.
5327  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is not a steady income haven on: July 14, 2023, 06:44:53 AM
Indeed, if you can do it in a moderate way, gambling will serve its sole purpose. But for those who thinks that they can make money out from this venue surely they will push and continue to seek for any available way to make it a successful run, maybe there are some who can manage to make some money but a stable source of income, aside from being the owner itself that's something really arguable with many opinions and claims.

More on the side where the chance of losing is higher than making yourself successful if you are thinking that you can use this place
to source your financial needs.
I think many say that it is difficult to make gambling a stable source of income, knowing that gambling cannot guarantee that someone will win continuously. They will taste loss and lose a lot of money, so they say gambling is not a place where you can make money or be a stable source of income. Only a casino owner can make money from gambling because he owns the business.

We will only lose more than win so we must be aware of looking for other places that can make money and we can use a little of that money to play gambling. If we are lucky, we can make money but if we are not, we better accept it and try again a few days later.
5328  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Wagering requirements for withdraw on: July 14, 2023, 06:13:53 AM
The question raised is whether all gamblers who sign up with a particular gambling site read the TOS. It is true that only a few of us actually take the time to read the TOS. Typically, those who do read the TOS are likely gamblers who are planning to wager significant amounts of money or individuals who prioritize understanding the terms and conditions of their engagement. However, for many typical gamblers who do not bet substantial amounts, the common practice is to simply click through, move to the next step, and agree without thoroughly reviewing the TOS.
Not all gamblers read the TOS in casinos because many underestimate it because they think that the TOS in all casinos has the same content. But not because there might be differences between one casino and another, so we must be observant in understanding the rules. But regardless of whether they will use large or small amounts of money, knowing the TOS is our obligation so that we don't violate casino rules and can play gambling in peace and withdraw the winnings without any problems.
5329  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lotteries and possibility vs. probability on: July 14, 2023, 05:48:41 AM
If those gambler are good enough or luckiest person in the world then 1 lottery ticket are enough to win the jockpot and have a chance to become a millionaire but as an ordinary gambler that thier luck is not in Thier side then for sure 1 ticket is not enough to win the jockpot they need another more tickets in order to have  a chance to win the lottery jockpot. But in lottery once you always bet then you will loss and loss because the chances of winning is very small.
It's true that with only 1 lottery ticket, he can win the jackpot and become a new millionaire. And that's the magic of having luck because there are no obstacles for him to win that jackpot. And it's very rare for most people because it only comes to one lucky person. That is why winning the jackpot from lottery tickets is very difficult and even if you have a lot of lottery tickets, it does not guarantee you can win.

It's called beginners luck. Some believe in it some don't. It's when a beginner doesn't know the game and what the rules are but decides to place a bet. There is no logical explanation, but most of the times, bets placed by those beginners wins, most of the times. This is why it's called beginners luck.
Seeing some of my other friends get it, I believe in beginner's luck. But beginner's luck will not always come to all beginners because luck will also choose anyone who deserves it. And maybe this is what happened to the beginner who got that lottery ticket and managed to win it so it will be his luck.
5330  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: July 14, 2023, 05:25:31 AM
However, in this context, none of my intentions are such that I still want whatever I want to do with my gambling without any hindrance or some degree of discipline being exercised in it Cheesy
I still like the fun of gambling and don't want to be restricted to anything especially in the rules and high level of discipline to be professional so in this case I prefer to be normal without any pressure so that I can enjoy all forms of gambling that I do.

Returning to the original context of addiction will be different again in my view for professional gambling because indirectly when referring to the word professional it means referring to work and it cannot be said to be an addiction in this case.
But if you don't limit your gambling, there is a possibility that you will exceed the limit that you can afford so you will use money beyond that limit. This is really risky because it can make you lose a lot of money, especially by not having clear boundaries in gambling. By setting those limits, you can still enjoy the gamble and you may still have a few dollars saved that you can use to gamble a few days later. It can also prevent you from gambling addiction which many people have experienced so you can play gambling without worrying about gambling addiction.
5331  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your Thoughts On First Time Lottery Bettor Who Won Big Amount? on: July 14, 2023, 05:07:39 AM
It appears that there may be some conflicting statements in your argument. If you are not inclined to purchase tickets in bulk. It is unlikely that you would advocate for buying as many lottery tickets as possible. However I agree with your point that individuals who possess knowledge about lottery gambling are less likely to feel envious or purchase tickets in large quantities. Those who understand the nature of the lottery recognize that luck varies from person to person. Therefore. It is advisable to stick with ones' usual practice of purchasing tickets according to ones' affordability.
But the luck of getting a prize in a lottery ticket for everyone will be different and not everyone can get lucky at the same time. We depend on luck when buying lottery tickets, so we have to realize that the lottery tickets we buy may not necessarily win. So it's better if we just have fun buying lottery tickets and not think about winning so we just let the luck take care of itself. And if we lose, we won't think about it and if we still want to buy another lottery ticket, we can buy it with the money we can afford.
5332  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: July 14, 2023, 03:57:21 AM
it is difficult if someone is too comfortable in gambling which will end up being addicted it is difficult to stop and when they have the desire to stop and do more positive activities only their family can help. if we talk about addiction it will never end but how else sometimes many new people try gambling after that they are lucky to get big wins and from that someone will become addicted because they feel they are getting something big without realizing they will lose continuously when trying to bet and lose after that chasing losses.
And by trying to chase loss, they will become emotional, making them forget that defeat is a sure thing that happens in gambling. If one loses in gambling, all the negative feelings will gather together and if he cannot have peace, he will only sink deeper into gambling and even when it becomes a gambling addiction, he will spend more money. And when a person has become addicted to gambling, he will think of nothing but gambling and just want to gamble all the time.
5333  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you been threaten to stop gambling on: July 14, 2023, 03:25:13 AM
That's the why a a gambler we need to have a peaceful mindset which is we need to control ourselves and gamble using our exist money because once we get money from our daily need and play gambling because we have the mindset that once we bet we will win then that's a bad idea as we all know that in the world of gambling  there's no assurance that in everytime we bet we gain money. Because the outcome is very unpredictable.
That's why we have self-control so we don't spend much money on gambling. Gambling is okay, but with good self-control, we can manage spending. And for married people, you should really manage family expenses and not interfere with family finances just to gamble and chase victory. We will never always be able to win so we have to remember that and only gamble for fun. Every time we gamble, we can win or lose, so if we manage spending for gambling, we won't have any difficulties.
5334  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you been threaten to stop gambling on: July 13, 2023, 01:04:55 PM
That's a funny story but something serious at the same time. Lol. I haven't been in that kind of situation. I haven't been secretly gambling. My family knows I gamble once in a while. That's not really a big deal because I am not an addict gambler. I gamble just for fun. Although sometimes I lose a good deal of money, it isn't something that is intended for something else. So if a significant amount is lost, there's still food, bills are still paid, etc. No serious damage done.
I’m glad that you aren’t addicted to gambling and also just doing it for fun. That’s how it’s been for me since a long time ago, It’s just a risky activity and you shouldn’t take it seriously as a source of money imo. As far as you ain’t surpassing your limit and paying your bills as well as your family knows about it then it’s fine.
That's exactly what we have to do with gambling. We should not sacrifice money for everyday life just to gamble because, after all, we have to survive and by having money, we can survive. But if we instead use the money to gamble in the hope that we can win, that is not recommended because gambling means that we can lose at any time and when we do lose, we want to recover that loss. And we have to gamble with limits to avoid all the problems that will arise later.
5335  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ads for online gambling should be banned. on: July 13, 2023, 12:39:37 PM
Gambling regulations will surely depend heavily on how gambling is considered by politicians, if gambling is just seen as an adult hobby, then you may be right and gambling ads will simply disappear from events that children and young people are expected to watch, however if gambling is considered to be bad for people regardless of their age then we may see a complete ban on gambling advertising, a scenario similar to what happened to tobacco.
Gambling advertisements will continue to exist because of the interests of many parties, including politicians. Some politicians also own casinos so they want to see advertisements about their casino. So even though there is a ban on minors, gambling ads for adults can still run because the ads are specifically for adults only or people who don't apply filters.

Things that are meant to spread will spread no matter what someone does to prevent that from happening. Tobacco advertisements are banned all around the world, but does that reduce the number of smokers? It doesn't, in fact, they keep increasing over time because there is no need for any advertisement for cigarettes to get to people, everyone knows where they can get them and they do that regardless of the fact that they are harmful to them.

Similarly, no matter how much government works on banning gambling advertisements to reduce the number of gamblers and gambling addicts, it is a kind of a thing that will spread anyway, the only difference is that who knows which platform one would choose to start their gambling journey.
That is the impact of an advertisement that can attract more people to join. Gambling ads are also like that, so maybe if the government reduces the broadcast time of gambling ads, it won't stop people from quitting or reducing their gambling time because they already know much about gambling. So it is very difficult to ban gambling advertisements, especially if people very well know gambling because they will return to gambling again.

Yes bitcoin forum is completely independent. It does not operate any gambling sites so no government can file any complaint against it. However, where gambling is illegal, the government will impose various restrictions. Everything related to gambling in those places will be viewed seriously. I think the government cannot create any such obligation regarding gambling advertisements on social media. However, if governments want to, they can certainly regulate gambling at the national or local level.
Unless the government suppresses people on forums and bans gambling ads from appearing on these forums, but we know that the bitcoin forum is independent and not related or bound by anything, so many ads appear on this forum. The government can easily regulate gambling advertisements that appear locally or nationally because they are all under government regulations, so they have to obey the government's wishes.
5336  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you find it offensive to be referred to as an addicted gambler? on: July 13, 2023, 12:10:13 PM
.It is better to simply ignore them and if they try to confront you about it you just tell them that is none of their business, in my experience this will irritate them to the extreme and will demonstrate to anyone who cares about watching this that they were just looking for a fight with you and then they will ignore anything they said about you.
The more you ignore them the more you would become vulnerable to their hate. It is better to find their weakness and then downgrade them infront of everyone. In today's time everyone has some kind of addiction. You can use that as a weapon to defend yourself rather ignoring them. No one is a saint in these times.
If we do that, maybe there will be a grudge against them later that they will have to avenge because we already attacked their weakness so they will think of another way to attack us again. It will never end because they and we will be involved in an unbroken circle and continue like that until one of them gives in. Letting them say anything about us is also doable and lets people judge who looks for faults or problems. And if the people around us really know who we are, they also won't mind people who talk like that because they won't believe it.
5337  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: July 13, 2023, 11:44:09 AM
I agree that stopping your addiction is actually a choice but the problem is that the choice is really hard to make and its not that they don't actually want to stop or they don't know that this act can destroy them, its just that some of them lack the will power to actually stop this habit because an addiction is really hard to stop especially gambling and drug addiction and most people are even an addict of both.
It's because they don't want to kick the addiction and are too comfortable with it for it to be difficult. If they want, they can ask for help from other people to help them create new habits and accompany them so they don't feel alone. After all, when we lose, it makes us feel annoyed and there is a desire to recover from that loss, which can make us come back to the casinos and gamble. We hope to recover from those losses and also get wins and that's the beginning of a gambling addiction that we may not even be aware of.
5338  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I am only trying to stay safe by gambling less on: July 13, 2023, 11:17:39 AM
Fewer gambling means that the chance of losing a huge amount of money can be controlled.

If you have the objectives of finding some entertainment and relaxations, you will be able to achieve it with fewer gambling
participations, but if you are into a deeper side of gambling where the intention is to make money from this venue, the
risk is really high, and you needed to plan your money as the chance of losing more is something that you really can't avoid.
That's the goal we have to achieve not to lose large amounts of money. But usually, many gamblers lose their temper so they don't remember previous losses and instead use more money to gamble. Enjoying gambling is fine as long as they can determine how much money they can spend so that will be a limit that can keep them from losing big. As gamblers, we must avoid the risk to enjoy our time playing gambling and have fun.
5339  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your Thoughts On First Time Lottery Bettor Who Won Big Amount? on: July 13, 2023, 10:53:35 AM
Maybe I won't be jealous because the lottery is based on luck, so I understand that first time bettors can get a big jackpot in the lottery. I don't feel motivated to keep buying lottery tickets just knowing that there are bettors who can win a lot. It was everyone's luck and everyone's luck would be different. So there's no point in us feeling jealous. It's better to try to play the lottery by buying as many tickets as possible and seeing the results later.
5340  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: July 13, 2023, 10:29:07 AM
maybe some people will think there is a connection between successful gamblers and professional gamblers and people think professional gamblers are gamblers who are successful in gambling. the definition of a professional gambler for me is about gamblers who strongly hold all emotions and better self-control and think positively or realistically in every bet and professional gamblers usually they are at the poker table. that's all i know.
but a successful gambler is a definition that doesn't have clarity between success being able to get wins every day or success getting very big wins.
I think professional and successful gamblers have the same definition because they can control themselves, play gambling with calculations, and withstand all emotions and other advantages that most gamblers cannot have. But indeed, both successful and professional gamblers can win and enjoy it because they know how to gamble well and not follow their ego or emotions. So gamblers can control themselves from addiction because they can care for themselves while playing gambling.
