How does it feel when you buy a lot of lottery tickets and still you do not win. The money invested in all those lottery tickets is just wasted. That's the reason I hate the lottery system because the chances of winning are too less or rather  you can say it is impossible to win.

Exactly, even licensed casinos now are doubtful. So the KYC they are required to carry now tends to be doubtful as well.

So, you've been into bitcoins for at least 3 years and this is the first time you've talked about this? Anyway, yes it does suck but if it happened that you still have some left, keep it and wait for a coming ath, sell at that cost AND then hold till prices get low again. Rinse, repeat.

Not many gamblers can open their minds to think about stopping from gambling because once they feel the win money, they want to get the win over and over. While they feel happy with their win, they come back in gambling and hope this time they will win another winning, but the truth is they will lose their money. They cannot control their feelings, especially if they can win more than 5 times because, at that time, greediness will come to them and telling them to play more to win the money.

It is popular in the past but the most popular right now, as far as I know, is cockfighting that even ages ranging from 10 and above already knows the rules and how to bet in this game. These young ones even take care of their own roosters they will use to fight with other people, that is how addicted people in our country is in this game.

I'm in full agreement with you on this, the only issue I can see is that these esports kids are usually really young and I can see them throwing matches for cash. I actually am pretty sure I have read how it's a big issue and so is match fixing. I guess if gambling cash flows in it could force it to legitimize.

I guess this complement this thread; https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5172095.0
Personally I wouldn't have thought lottery can be better than slot or casino gambling. Well, this also implies that nothing is impossible.
Using mathematical means to crack the likely number is good but the process may take quite sometime. If one is always certain about the numbers then the long wait is worth it.

I remember my aunt's cousin defending himself about this addiction.

He is also putting his money into the lottery, buying tickets and depending on the numbers he is putting for almost 3 years. When we asked about his addiction, he never admits to it but this is his answer when we asked him why he's still betting. I also think that he wants to earn a million out of that small digit, I mean, yeah, who would not want that but the thing is that in the long run, that small digit if saved is a great help.

I don't think I can, I am very fond of dogs we have two dogs in our house and we consider them a part of our family, they are one of the kindest animals in our planet, it's illegal here in our country and I guess it's also illegal in many countries too.

I can bet on insects and human combats, on human competition like Boxing and MMA they are under strict supervision, they have physician, referees to make sure no one gets badly hurt, and they understand what they are getting into, on a dog fight it's about killing each other, I don't go for that.

This how people think.

If you say 1/10 individuals has a probability to have an HIV then then will say they impossibly be the one but if you say there are 292 million odds of winning a powel ball, they will say they have the chance.

Who else doesnt want betting a dollar and winning millions of it after?

Nope. Imagine this, if you have won already a jackpot then make a bet on all combinations to it, then surely you'll hit the jackpot again, but in terms of lottery with random draw then it would be impossible, even if it happens twice on the same person then that would just be luck.
P.S. Not all lottery games has the same system, features and rules. So every strategy varies on every game.


Yeah right. Besides playing lottery is just like turning your money into an airplane and throw it while expecting, it will return back to the owner.

Anderson and Broad are playing just test cricket and yet Anderson cannot keep up with his health before the Ashes which is really a sad thing and he is the only bowler for England who could swing the ball at a decent pace which could make a difference against Australia. Jofra Archer has the potential, lets see if his body will hold up for the longer format of the game.

This week all the fast bowlers are announcing their retirement from test cricket, first Mohammad Amir made the announcement which was followed by Wahab Riaz and now Dale Steyn who was one of the best fast bowlers in the modern era.

I believe there are a lot of old people who likes to buy lottery tickets, and I think they would usually watch the numbers being reveal manually on live television broadcast. So it might be extremely difficult to explain to these group of people about provably fair system in a lottery draw by using the blockchain technology.

Not only luck won't stay on him all the time but even strategies too. I have experienced a lot of times wherein one strategy that works for you today might not work for the other day. This is the reason why i never keep on sharing my own strategies to others because there is no assurance that it will also work with other people too.

Don't ban them for christs sake. Make money out of them. They're probably used to throwing away large amounts of money anyways. Tax them higher. As professor hulk says, its a win win situation. Casinos would now have to increase fees and gamblers would have to also adjust. You can't really control people's wants and needs to gamble, so make it a little difficult and inconvenient for them with high fees. Plus you add considerable amount to your government's funds.

Non of these important pointers you listed will be experience by a gambler if he remains realistic.
It's imperative that every gambler has to understand the real chance of winning, which is not 50/50 in any game that is played based on luck or games that has a house edge.

Scammers are smart, they tend to victimize weak gamblers, so don't belong to the weak group of gamblers, instead be a smart gambler by continuing to educate yourself regarding the real score of risk and rewards in a certain game.

No doubt lotteries are cheap but how many times you have or your friends have won the lottery ?
Its like giving 5$ to someone and getting nothing in return.  I would rather prefer to play dice than to risk on lottery.

Yeah right, most of us gamble because of money, actually they are not chasing defeat but rather chasing their money. And that doesn't happen when they lose, but when they win they still pursue it because they will still chase the money even if they win.

There may only be 1: 100 people who play gambling for entertainment and the rest are only for the pursuit of money. Sure enough, when a gamble for entertainment they will enjoy it more when gambling, because their minds will not be mixed emotions and tensions.

But it is impossible to implement in the reality.Government cannot monitor each and every people who are going to casino and how much they were spending for it.My suggestion hold some weigh because when the gambler win they need to give most to the government but if they lose they will lose everything so this can make the people to realize why they need to hold such amount of risk.

Must we even depend on strategies made by others to win, why modify someone else’s strategy when you can think of inventing yours. This is logical and what gambling is all about, I create every damn strategy I use in my games, there are some that fails definitely but its only telling me to improve and I don’t feel hurt when that happens.

The OP is entitled to his opinion, lets him keep his strategy to himself that’s he’s damn business, it only concerns those who have interest in it for me, I am not interested. After all at the end of the day, there would always be a winner and that winner is the house , so what’s the point killing ourselves over an issue that doesn’t hold a drop of water when there are better things to be discussed.
