5721  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What does it take for a game to "hook" people on: August 05, 2021, 12:01:09 PM
For me first of all is the gameplay, if you enjoy the gameplay of course there's no way you would be hooked for that particular game just like bomb sweeper like game, I don't know but I do like that game for unknown reason, probably because there's thrill and you are the one to choose your destiny? The next one of course is the prize, the higher the prize the more people will be hooked for that game and lastly promotion, this is the powerful one I think. Who doesn't like promotion? but of course with low wagering requirement.
Enjoying the games will be one thing that can hook gamblers back to the casino more often than they can realize. It feels like when we play games or do something too often, and if we do not do that, something is gone from us. Yes, the thrill will be there inside the games and that makes us always curious about the games and finally, in the long run, that can make us addicted to that games. If the casino can update many times and always try to be the best casino, that will hook people to stay at that site since they find a new thing that they do not get from the other site.
5722  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Man lost £20,000 in one night after becoming addicted to online gambling! on: August 05, 2021, 11:30:01 AM
One of the primary reasons why people stay addicted for long is to win big. They think a big win will solve financial and all other problems in their lives.
For this very man greed was his problem £20000 is a huge sum that can afford a very lucrative business. Giving such huge amount on gambling shows his high level of greed and people of this kind can do anything just to make money not minding if it's legal or not. I wish he recovers soonest because this can cause a man to commit sucide.
He can build a small gambling business with that amount and instead of him gambling he will let others to gamble in his casino while he only sit there and collect cash . depends of the person if this guy is first time to gamble this high then he is no doubt a Verry greedy person but if he is used to this then I don't think the term will fit in him . Also not all are going to commit suicide so don't worry too much  .
I guess he does not realize using that big money and still uses that money to gamble because if he is aware, he will not spend too much money playing gambling. Using too much money as that, of course, gives him a big risk of losing the money, especially in gambling because we do not know when we can win or lose. It is a good lesson for us not to use too big money while we can build a new business that can give us profit in the future.
5723  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Accumulating small odds or choosing one or two big odds on: August 05, 2021, 11:06:09 AM
I guess that will not be too important for me as I prefer to get wins from sports betting. Whether that is small odds or two big odds, if that can give me the win, I will be happy. I will be more concerned with how much money I will use to place the bet so that it will not make me feel too sad if I lose. But I do not like to place too many bet amounts as that can make funds overused and make me unable to use the funds to place the other bet that I have almost accurate information.
5724  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Google starts accepting Bitcoin ads on: August 05, 2021, 10:36:26 AM
I admitted that is good news for crypto users as Google accepting bitcoin ads. But somehow, Google needs to work hard to filters every bitcoin ad because it will attract scammers to use the ads for their purpose to trick many new people who use Google. But I am sure Google will figure out how to prevent the unrelated bitcoin ads to their ads logarithm so people will only see the ads that will not try to scam them. Anyway, by accepting bitcoin ads, it seems Google wants to take part in cryptocurrency and who knows, Google will launch their own crypto to their audience and attract investors in the future.
5725  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online gambling becomes popular on: August 05, 2021, 10:03:27 AM
 Precisely Online Gambling is now trending specially were in pandemic time, people have a big Liesure time to spend thier time in Gambling site and the rest felt bored theirs doing so they diceded to go in Gambling site to play and beside that they will enjoy with their freinds .I think there's no wrong about gambling when in the right time no abused, and always mindset that  once entered in gambling we can not assure if we are lucky or unlucky cause in Gambling also is unpredictable.
If people do not use their leisure time to do another thing and only use it to playing gambling, they will regret it in the end because they can not make money from gambling instead of just losing their money. They must realize that they need to survive this pandemic as we do not know when the pandemic will ends. If they only play gambling in their free time, that will accept as they know they must find the other works because many of them get the impact from their office. I agree that having a good mindset will always help us control ourselves in playing gambling because that can prevent us from becoming addicted to gambling.
5726  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to spread trading on: August 05, 2021, 09:29:57 AM
It is better to learn more details about trading before going with futures trading as that can confuse you to determine the time to enter the market.

But I wonder where do you get that idea? Did you get it from this:

https://insights.deribit.com/industry/spread-trading-on-crypto/

If yes, it is something that I do not use for trade as I prefer to trade in the regular exchanges because I am not sure about the risk. If you do not understand how it works, you can get more risk from that.

But it looks like playing with Long and Short in the futures trading because I see similarities between them.
5727  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Motivated by "breaking the code" on: August 05, 2021, 09:08:06 AM
Yes, losing and winning become a cycle, but losing will dominate the gambling than the winning and that is happening for many people who play gambling. If we can enjoy the game and know when to stop, we will be satisfied with the result, even if we lose and think that the next days will be better than today. We can motivate ourselves that losing in gambling is normal but what is not normal is if we still continue playing without thinking about the big loss that can come to us. We can return to gambling in the next days but we should have control for ourselves.

Therefore I believe, they will learn from the first table game to another table very well. Losing no matter how many times they will find a point where he knows how to become a winner. Sometimes the motivation in gambling is born from previous defeats so that you can be careful and calm in controlling the situation. Because outwardly a person will get a boost if he has the will to win. As long as you have the belief to be a winner, then don't give up you will be at the most perfect point.
That will happen if that gambler can learn from his mistake to try hard to learn more and practice to get better than before. But we already see that even they learn more, it is still hard to win because there will be other players who have better skills than them and of course, the luck factor will be count on this. But if they motivate themselves by still learning, maybe someday, they will win but we do not know how much money they will use to reach that level. If that happens, maybe we need to realize that we can not always gamble if the situation is not right for us and we need to think that taking a break for a while will help us analyze more and learn more details.


Well, in the end, you know what to do if you lose, and you know what to watch if you win. The best gambler is he who can motivate himself in any way. Even without external encouragement, you can definitely find a way to get up. Motivating is one way so that where you win or lose, everything is fine and you don't think of it as a heavy burden.

Based on the responses of gamblers, they are 100% likely to be more excited if given a win early on. and being able to control wins from table to table with a take-for-and-leave strategy. move around or select the available games. Use a minimum standard of $10 on each throw.
We should follow that gambler so we do not have to be afraid of becoming addicted to gambling because we know what we need to do. We can adapt ourselves in any situation, even if we lose, because we will not recover the losses or chase the other winning. Motivating ourselves is not easy because we need to practice every day and that will look like we talk to ourselves and trying to say that we can do that.

I am trying to use $10 or less to playing gambling because I do not feel right to lose more than that amount. Sometimes, those $10 will still stay in my account because I do not use all of the $10 at once.
5728  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Poker casino but need KYC, is this really necessary? on: August 05, 2021, 08:28:24 AM
Now, to play poker without a casino, people have to meet offline and do it. If Ethereum develops as planned, then the players will have the opportunity to do it online and no intermediary in the form of a casino will be needed and there will be no need for a KYC. I am very much looking forward to when this happens to see the reaction of the governments.
Even if that can happen, I am a bit worried if the government still wants to interfere and force the casino or online gambling sites to follow what they want to apply KYC for their members. If the casino follows the government's asks, they will apply for KYC, but if it's not, the members will have their time playing gambling without doing KYC. But still, I am sure that there will be an online gambling site far away from that government and never ask for the KYC from their members.

Yes, you are right - with the strictest regulation, there will be underground sites providing various services without KYC, including gambling.
If we talk about the dangers, I do not like that now the governments are trying to take control of the entire crypto. This is much more dangerous than regulation in certain areas.
I do not like but we can not do anything. It seems the government wants to use the moment to take control of the crypto and they can easily force not just the gambling site but the local exchanges because they are in their jurisdiction. If the government really conquer all the things on the internet in the name of the regulation, there will be a big demonstration happen in all countries because the internet means people have their own choice. But people will realize that they are still in their country.
5729  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it wise to invest in nft art work? on: August 05, 2021, 07:50:01 AM
NFT very popular at the moment but personally I think that investing in nft may not necessarily have many reasons why I don't dare to invest in NFT, one of which is because I really don't understand judging an art and whether if I buy an NFT it will be worth it in the future.
So it is better to invest in bitcoin or altcoin, which has a bright future. We know that NFT is one of the trends coming up in the crypto and if that trend is ending, that will not be easy for NFT to survive because the new trend can dominate the crypto market like what happens to NFT. But I admitted that NFT gain more attention from the investors and I see many of them are making a profit from NFT. They know how to use NFT to make money and leave NFT before the trend ends as that can make it difficult for them to make money.
5730  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it wise to invest in nft art work? on: August 04, 2021, 12:15:47 PM
Wise or not only you will know as you need to observe by yourself and not depend on others opinion. Some people can say it is wise to invest in the NFT project, but others will not say the same. But for me, I prefer to invest in bitcoin, which can give a profit in the future. Besides that, we do not know if the NFT project can stay and survive for a long time because who knows, after the trend ends, there will be a new trend that will replace NFT. Cryptocurrencies are growing more than now, so I am sure that the new thing will develop and be invented later.
5731  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Poker casino but need KYC, is this really necessary? on: August 04, 2021, 11:33:28 AM
I hope the development of cryptocurrencies (in this case, Ethereum 2) will allow the creation of really fast and cheap decentralized casinos in the future. In this case, the governments of the countries simply cannot do anything as now they cannot do anything with bitcoin.
I believe that will happen in the future, especially when everything is set up and the casino is ready to launch a new service or a new casino that will offer a new experience to the gamblers. Ethereum will grow more than now because I think the project will still work hard to make sure that they still have more investors interested in that project. The government can not interfere with that but they can watch how the process runs.

Now, to play poker without a casino, people have to meet offline and do it.

5732  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I feel like there is no way to keep up on: August 04, 2021, 11:02:04 AM
It's not a must to keep up to the price movement of bitcoin and also not a must to own 1 bitcoin, you might get burnt chasing the market so it's better you wait for a dip or crash and keep buying bit by bit and try not to invest your all in bitcoin it might be too risky and the outcome might not be what you did expect, the market is just about risk and reward, try to stay profitable and manage risk, well due to the high prices of bitcoin you can choose an altcoin with potential for more income.
For people who are new to analysis, they may be able to choose several altcoins at the top, so having a large capitalization is expected to be safer. By choosing an altcoin, it is hoped that it will provide greater profits, and of course that is what everyone is looking for
I am not sure about that because the new people in trading who gather in one group will follow the so-called experts on that group and buy the suggested coins. They will not ask about how you get that analysis or etc because they do not search for more info about what coin they should buy. But if those people want to research and analyze by themselves from what they learned, they will see that the altcoins at the top position are not always guaranteed to profit. Sometimes, the lower coins position can give you the profit as you can analyze to find the right coin.
5733  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: do you believe on signals? on: August 04, 2021, 10:25:40 AM
I do not believe 100% in signal trading because if I got a signal from somewhere, I would analyze more to find out if that signal really works or happen in the next hours or days later. Usually, I will search why the price will go down based on that signal and there will be more information to show what is happening to that coin/token and vice versa. So you should do the same thing if you got the signal trading because there is no guarantee that the signal can give you a chance to make a profit or getting the best time to buy the coin.
5734  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Rate the Exchange based on your Experience on: August 04, 2021, 10:10:48 AM
Bittrex has a fast duration of the KYC process because I did that a long time ago and the KYC process finished in less than 2 days. But I do not know about their KYC services or support system right now as I do not have a problem. That was the same as Binance because I was already doing KYC with Binance, Bittrex, and Poloniex from a long time ago before those markets became bigger. I do not know about KuCoin because I am still at the basic members and need to upgrade to increase the withdrawal limits, which I do not need right now. I also have a HitBTC account, but I do not verify myself because I do not trade too often.
5735  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The reason why investors often lose money on: August 04, 2021, 09:30:45 AM
The investor becomes a speculator because they do not research what coin they should buy instead just follow the other people. That is the most common mistake by the investor and maybe that is happening to us in some cases. Those investors do not have a target price or time frame when they should sell their coin instead still holding for the unknown time frame and become panic if the price drops significantly.

The research will help you to determine which coin you can buy as your investment. But you should know when you should sell your investment and not wait for the other high price because that will not always happen. Sometimes the price will adjust to the lower price before the price jumps to the next high price.
5736  Economy / Marketplace / Re: How do you buy physical items anonymously with Bitcoin? on: August 04, 2021, 08:59:31 AM
I wonder what items like collectibles you want to buy without revealing your address. If that item is legal, you can still buy it with bitcoin so they do not know who the buyer is but you should give them an address so they know where they should send the items. If that item is illegal and you still want to buy it, I am not sure you will have a chance to avoid the customs office because it comes from other countries. They will make sure that the items are not illegal things or something that can cause damage, even if you use PO BOX as the address. Maybe you can describe what the items are so we can give more suggestions.
5737  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Poker casino but need KYC, is this really necessary? on: August 04, 2021, 08:35:32 AM
Oh well yeah, the government will always have an excuse. If something does not look like what they want, they can easily eliminate and make a new one. We already knew that and it was happening a long time ago. As long as there is a gambling site that does not require KYC, we can still play gambling without sending anything to them. I am sure the casino will be aware of the regulation and how they can still operate without the government interfering. We as a gambler also have an option to select where we want to gamble.

I hope the development of cryptocurrencies (in this case, Ethereum 2) will allow the creation of really fast and cheap decentralized casinos in the future. In this case, the governments of the countries simply cannot do anything as now they cannot do anything with bitcoin.

5739  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cryptocurrencies price and their effect on gambling industry on: August 04, 2021, 06:32:13 AM
Actually sometimes those volatility incident is pain in the ass of the casinos since imagine if they bought at the peak for payout of winnings purposes then suddenly the bitcoin price soar down this incident makes them already a loser plus we add the high payment fees which is another painful scenario which take their balances for every transaction they made. But what good thing there is if the casino have strong balls and doesn't pull the selling button and surrender for sure they have chance to recover back. Those old casinos out there shows this strength that's why its good to gamble at that place compare to new ones which we don't know their capabilities yet.
Yeah, but we can not deny the volatility incident because that will always be there at the market. We already have had those experiences since a long time ago and we really knew how it feels. We cannot avoid paying high fees if the bitcoin price is soaring up or the altcoin follows bitcoin price increases. The casino itself will always adjust its fees based on the market situation. Maybe the solution for us is always checking the price before we want to withdraw to avoid paying a high fee. The gambler will know where they can gamble because I am sure they will have their favorite gambling site to cover their needs.

That's exactly what I meant.

Gamblers from the past are getting the same feel from gambling the same amount in USD value in bitcoins now, I can only wonder what some of them are doing if they're still chasing theirs losses from past years in bitcoins.
Maybe they are getting more losses if they decide to chase their losses from past years and I think that is not worth doing because the bitcoin price already increases so high, more than the last ATH.

But maybe some gamblers are still trying to recover their losses and not stop before getting all of their money, which is not easy to do.

There is another aspect as well. Back in 2015/16, there were not many avenues for cryptocurrency users to spend their coins. So obviously a number of the users got bored and spent their coins in gambling (which was the easiest way to use the coins). The situation changed only recently, when it was made possible to purchase gift cards using Bitcoin. Obviously those who spend most of their coins in 2015/16 will be regretting their past decision. But back then, Bitcoin was undergoing a 85% correction and the mood was very dark among the cryptocurrency users. Not many of them expected a recovery anytime soon.
If they think that they got bored and do not know how to spend their coins, they can just hold them instead of using them for playing gambling because we never know what will happen to that coin. We already saw what was happening to bitcoin a few years ago and now, if we still think to spend more bitcoin playing gambling, maybe our profit will not be bigger if we save it from now.

With many companies now aware of bitcoin, that can trigger online shopping to try to integrate their payment system with bitcoin so people who have bitcoin can spend their bitcoin to purchase something they want. That will be better than using it for playing gambling. But all in all, that will be back to personal because only we will know what we want to do with our bitcoin.
5740  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Where to seek help if you need; concerned with gambling addiction. on: August 04, 2021, 06:00:50 AM
Gambling addiction is a serious condition that needs to be treated as early as possible. Many countries have already started to realize the dangers of problem gambling, so they've created several gambling addiction centers and self-exclusion services that aim to cure addiction and keep gambling an entertaining activity. According to this  complete list of gaming addiction centers , Canada is one of the leading fighters against gambling addiction, and they've already helped millions of Canadian gamblers solve their problems and take back their lives. Hope it helps!
That is available in Canada, but how about in the other countries? I do not know if the other countries will have a good place to rehabilitate the addicted person to gambling. But suppose the other countries can learn from the leading country that fights against gambling addiction and build a better rehabilitation for the addicted people to gambling. In that case, it will help many people who have the same problem. That can reduce the number of addicted to gambling, and the government will be happy to see that gambling addiction is not a problem in their country.
There several places where people are wallowing in gambling addiction,finding it difficult to get help.Many have been stigmatized through loss and failure,and are seeking help,but couldn't get help because they are leaving in an environment where help is rare.It is imperative and dutiful for government world wide to provide help at where there is none,including the nooks and crannies of our society.
If the addicted people to gambling feel it is difficult to get help, they do not want to share their addiction with other people so they can not help that person right away. People can not get close to them if they do not open themselves to accept other people so they are only getting deeper with their addiction. Maybe that is the government's job to give attention to those people, but if those people are not aware of what happened, the government can not help.
