Day trading activity is unmatched by gambling. In a day of trading you have the opportunity to win and lose according to the strategy used. Gambling allows you to win randomly. Only you choose the best activity that suits you and improve your skills and above all act with caution.

Day Trading and gambling give you two choices, obviously that is winning and losing and that do not depend on the strategy used since the price chart will be the one telling the price changes and not your strategy. As gambling can ruin your balance, day trading is better since you will jsut lost some profit based on the price changes but not all of it.
Day trading is a better option than gambling in many ways and sensible people prefer risking their money in day trading than on gambling all the time. Gambling shall be done off and on that too without a large amount of money. Day trading never makes you bankrupt but this can easily happen in the case of former.

COVID-19 is still spreading all over the world, there are so many people affected by the virus, there are a lot of people who can not work anymore because of being afraid to go outside.

We should do something to prevent COVID-19 from spreading to each and everyone, if we want to play gamble, please do not go outside and find any nearest casino building just to play. I know that real life casino is better when playing because we can interact to anyone and we can also feel the ambiance of the real life casino but as of this moment, it is better to play online gambling than real life casino, it is better for you to stay at home to avoid contact to many people.

Let us help each and everyone, by simply obeying our authority by staying at home, do not go outside. Let us start stopping the virus, it will all start with ourself.
We should be really obeying the authorities orders that we should be staying inside our homes instead of going in public places like casinos just to gamble and to entertain ourselves, that is why the best solution for us to gamble again is by gambling in a online casino because the only difference is it is only in a virtual game.
In this pandemic situation that the world is facing, we common people shall help authorities by not creating more problems for them by simply staying home and leaving rest in the hands of God. We can go for online gambling in order to kill boredom and save ourselves from this contagious virus.
63  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto gambling websites need to add self-control functionality! on: March 25, 2020, 10:44:32 AM
Lately, I've been gambling a bit too much again and it's impossible to add limits to most crypto gambling websites.
Heck, I've found it to be impossible to just remove your account, without contacting support.

I think it should be mandatory, or at least standard, to include easy ways to prevent members from gambling.
In my country (Belgium), legal gambling websites are required to have player-imposed limits, plus general limits on their websites.
I wish crypto-based gambling websites would do the same.

Anyway, I've just sent an e-mail to the one casino I was still playing on, to close down my account. I hope they'll do that without any issue.
But still, I wish they would just add a function to do it by yourself, or add some self-control functionality.

I.e. let people exclude themselves for X amount of time
That is why it is called self-control because it needs to be made by your own.
Adding up some self-control feature on their site wouldn't keep you from gambling because it is so easy to create new account to gamble.
So what's the point of adding it if the user could just easily create a new account while it's main is still unavailable?
It is well explained by you why websites lack this feature because it has no practical importance. Those who have an addiction to gambling can go to any extent to fulfill their desires. Self-control is one of the toughest things all over the world and I believe yoga or meditation can help with it to a great level.

I guess small timers in gambling will have a break in gambling as you mentioned, they will prefer to save the money for necessary items. But for those high rollers who don't care about money or don't have problem spending money even with this pandemic situation, they will be in online platforms and maybe discover crypto online gambling websites. This will increase crypto users in gambling...Maybe..For Sports bettors, they will look for alternatives but maybe most of them will park their gambling activities.
I think it would depend on their situation if they have enough money then they don't really need to take a break.
I mean not all of those small time gamblers have a tight budget there are some who only prefer to gamble with small amount even if they are loaded with money.
So I guess not all of those small time gamblers would take a break and some might only lessen their gambling expenses.
Those people are pretty smart and I guess they are doing right thing by not playing all the time with huge money because in this way, the chances of losing hard earned money decrease. I personally prefer trying gambling for fun with small amount of money because this will not let greed ruin all the fun.
65  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you have an idea in percentage how big gambling industry's contribution? on: March 21, 2020, 09:40:14 PM
if you are talking about the entire gambling industry well its certainly bigger than what we have imagine , not only this give or pay lots of taxes but, the people that have a job because of it, because of it there are more people that has job , it help build bridges and help the government build and support the people well lets be honest the huge amount of taxes it give, help us a lot , and the government, that is why lots of government gives permit for them to operate.
I see a lot of gambling sites that still do not provide tax payments meaning there are no specific rules from the government to provide tax from gambling results, because I see it will make it difficult for gambling business people to cut taxes that must be paid to the government.
Gambling sites shall pay taxes in order to boost the economy of the country. There are crisis going on right now and we all know that governments need money in order to fight this corona thing. Governments shall take notice of such sites and make tax inevitable for them.
66  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Some casino gambling tips. on: March 21, 2020, 09:25:25 PM
Casino gambling more entertaining compared to online gambling because we can really feel the ambiance of the building and we can assure ourselves that we are playing on a legitimate games.
That's your perception, others may have a different point of view. For me, both casino gambling and online gambling are entertaining, there are no big differences in playing. Online gambling also can have legitimate games. Although we play online, it doesn't mean those games not legitimate. Instead, online gambling has no problem to play in this situation since we don't need to go anywhere. Just access the site and you can enjoy the games.  Wink
He is one way right about land casinos because they really help you enjoy the game. They have drinks, music, dancers etc. whereas in online gambling there is nothing like this and people often get bored. Those who truly want to make money, they will opt online gambling more than fun seeking players.
67  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can writing how hard you worked for earning money restrict you from gambling? on: March 21, 2020, 09:01:12 PM
Actually no. Yes, I work hard for my money but I also know my limits. I gamble for money that I can afford to spend and that isn't necessary for my everyday need. And it's my decision what will I do with my money.
As long as you don't exaggerate and waist your money you don't have to feel guilty because you gamble. Besides, gambling should be fun and joy not something you regret.
so far as I know it is true that not everyone can get lucky in the gambling world it's just that they can get a lot of profit from gambling maybe also because of the experience of gambling so they can find the right way to be able to make a lot of money from the gambling world.
Gambling is more about luck and less about experience and skills, this is what my experience has been. To win some money in gambling, there are no ground rules or strategies. Few basic skills one need to get hands on, rest is what fate has for you. I personally follow my instincts but this work for irregular players.
68  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What would make you stop gambling? on: March 20, 2020, 08:25:18 PM
For me, gambling is not an option for making money, so only things related to my core values can stop me.
If for some reason gambling can interfere with my life, my family or my health, then I will stop immediately.

This is really so sagacious of you that you are aware of what is good and bad for you. We need such more gamblers in the market who play it as a game not as a sole source of income ruining their lives. Indeed, these things that you mentioned shall be priority of everyone and they shall not be risk at all.
69  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you have an idea in percentage how big gambling industry's contribution? on: March 20, 2020, 08:12:02 PM
Actually I would say the gambling industry contributes close to 50% of the market distribution because there are massive giants in market now be it primedice for dice gambling or be it sportsbet that claims to accepts single bets of 100 btc which tells how massive the market has become now.

It's difficult to know what's the exact percentage and the reason you said is not a good basis.

That BTC100 is nothing when it comes to crypto exchanges. There is more circulation of BTC here compare to gambling.

And since we are here in the Gambling section, we might think that crypto-gambling is already big in the whole crypto industry without realizing that maybe it's just a 1/4 of the whole activity on crypto-exchange.
Gambling is the platform which makes maximum use of crypto currencies and this is why I support the percentage you have assumed of gambling contributing to crypto market. Crypto currencies really help gamblers enjoy gambling without taking any stress regarding withdrawing their money in short time.
70  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can writing how hard you worked for earning money restrict you from gambling? on: March 20, 2020, 07:32:37 PM
Absolutely not.

People gamble their money because they don't want to work hard for more money, that's the entire system—easy money.

If people cared about how hard getting the money was, they wouldn't spend it on stupid crap like designer clothes, the latest iPhone or tattoos that cost $5,000 a pop.

There is absolutely no relationship between the time-cost of money and the odds of somebody gambling it.
I think this is partially caused by the debt based society in which we live in, in the past when you could only spend the cash you had in hand people were more responsible with their money as they knew that if they ran out of money they will not receive more until they got paid, but since now you can pay almost everything on credit people now have a distorted view of their finances and instead of thinking on what they can actually afford they think on whether or not they can make the minimum payment on their credit cards.
The percentage of gamblers who are addicted to it is not that less which you have mentioned. There are almost 30% to 40% gamblers who are in one way or another are addicted to gambling and the irony is that most of them don’t understand that they are in the addiction and on the verge of bankruptcy.
71  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: COVID-19 and its effect in Gambling World on: March 20, 2020, 07:06:22 PM

This is good for the crypto gambling world ...
[snip]
You're right and people do believe thats how it work when in talks of online casino where they do directly think of about crypto gambling online without even
knowing first that there were digital fiat online casinos for the time being or been a while.So they wont be sure if they switch to crypto or would just simply
jumped in into traditional gambling online for temporary basis until this issue or epidemic would be resolved.
Who knows? Don't be so negative, this is our of getting more adopters so why not Grin. You've a got a point tho but chances for them to shift of at least try cryptocurrency as their form of bet while gambling is big especially if the online site they used have that kind of option. Besides, lots crypto gambling sites spread all over the Internet so it's impossible for you that you won't encounter one while searching where you play.
You cant tell because not all people will able to encounter crypto thing online unless if they do able to read it up somewhere on some links which would
awaken up their curiosity towards it.Im not really that too positive in regards to that but for sure there are some who would take some check and might
able to try it up later on.Not all are internet tech savvy which if they do find it complicated then they will surely choose fiat tx online instead.



Therefore, there is a huge chance that COVID-19 would drastically decrease the physical gambling and do somehow can change gamblers' physical gambling onto digital one. And with that, it can somehow increase the community of overall cryptocurrency.
Some cities are having a lockdown and it's a good opportunity for online gambling sites to promote online gambling to gamblers in these cities, but with the way things are going, they prefer to watch what's going on around them than spend time gambling online, we are on a watching mode waiting if this epidemic will have a cure or just go away.
Being optimistic, It will decrease in physical but will increase in digital. More people will adopt the use of online gambling and will use cryptocurrency for betting. It is the rise of online gambling and the right time to make promotions on their platform to get more users and investors.

Getting attached to each other is already forbidden, one of the precautionary measures to avoid Covid-19. So that means, casino gambling is not recommended in this situation where the virus is very active.

It is indeed a chance now for online gambling business since they do know that those physical casinos had been close or temporary unavailable due to this
current pandemic situation of covid-19.They will surely use up that advantage to get more users or customers neither on crypto gambling sites or
to those traditional fiat ones.Hopefully that this issue would be resolved soon and everything would go back to normal.
Corona will not affect those who are enjoying online gambling. Online gambling does not need any kind of interaction with other players and as a matter of fact, the corona is not transferred online. We can see an overall decrease in the revenue of the gambling market but no evident effect on the pursuers of the online games.
72  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the position of the gambler in the market? on: March 16, 2020, 12:59:55 PM
The gamblers position in the market is just a fancier name for consumer, you are consuming the commodity of entertainment and that is all there is to it.
Gambling is just like any other business where consumers or customers have to spend money in order to entertain themselves. Gambling is not a total fun game. It is rather a proper business since it has high involvement of money. Nobody likes to gamble without money. Gamblers are simple pawns of owners.
73  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ways to recover from being addicted in gambling. on: March 16, 2020, 12:39:22 PM
If someone is already addicted it is difficult for the individual to make a stop in that person's addiction, the same thing for the heavy gambler.
Heavy gambler and an addicted gambler are somewhat the same since they are both addicted into it and stopping gambling for them are really hard and there are many things that you need like family help, experts in mental things, discipline etc.

There are many ways to recover from being addicted to gambling and most of them are already stated here. Now the problem is not all of the gamblers can do it for some reasons. Yes we can say that our family will be a big help in recovering but what if we don't have any family members near then it will be hard for the gambler.

As @YOSHIE said, if you can stop doing things that you are already addicted with like liquor or cigarette addiction then it will be easy for them to stop gambling. In the end, it will be go down to how discipline you are and how strong your willpower is. If you really want to stop then you will do everything to stop and vice versa.
[/quote]
No matter what type of addiction one has, it is really hard to get out of its charm. One needs rehabilitation along with full time support of family. I strongly believe that one has to take measures in the beginning of gambling regarding gambling addiction by limiting money and time rather than waiting for getting addicted.
74  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: About Compulsive gambling. on: March 16, 2020, 11:45:40 AM
I suggest that if you feel that you are like that, you may visit some professionals to help you

And how's that supposed to work in practice?

As you say yourself, "compulsive gambling is the uncontrollable eagerness on gambling" (personally, I would say urge or obsession, but it doesn't really matter). If you don't listen to your family and your friends anymore, if you don't care about anyone, what on earth is going to make you listen to some advice here (or elsewhere in the Internet, for that matter)? Just curious
The approach to curing the compulsive gambling is spot-on but it is pointed that a gambler will not cure himself, the correct way was to have a family intervention. Wherein, the people who are around the affected person will do the initiative in helping the person. It should come to the point where you are ready to decline the persons request to play just another game. Pleading them to rehabilitate will do almost nothing but you can all persuade him to rehabilitate by making sure that you cut off their funds for gambling and keeping watch. Of course, this things won't work if the gambler doesn't see himself as a gambler that harms his/her loved ones.
It is really not easy to get over the addiction of gambling. Gambling is something which really can make people an insane addict. Gambling addiction needs a lot of interference of family in the life of a gambler along with proper medication. There are no ways that one can on his own get over the addiction.
75  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online gambling or Casino gambling? on: March 15, 2020, 12:59:20 PM
On line or not is same, gambling worst.
That is completely wrong, let people gambling, gambling is not bad, yes we loss money but that doesn't mean it will automatically destroy our lives or we are just wasting money, I know those people who are really gambling would never say that while some who does not fully experience or understand gambling are very close minded with gambling, they view it as a negative thing.
maybe he losses a lot before that is why he sounds like Gambling Hater lol.

or either he don't really gamble so his stand is far from reality because gambling is not Bad it is the gamblers that make it Baddest for same reason of abusing the games.

gambling offers happiness and fun same as enjoyable but only if we will learn to limit our desires and spending in short?Self Control...
Everything in this world has both positive and negative aspects and so is the case with gambling. Gambling is considered more dangerous than other games because here the chances of getting addicted to winning easy money are really higher than any other game which requires physical energy.
76  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Learn to play Dice on: March 15, 2020, 12:18:34 PM
Everyone could learn how to play dice so easily the hard part is learning all of the strategy that we could use to earn from it.
There are so many strategy that we could use in playing dice and one of the most famous is the martingale strategy.
But we should also know that those strategy wouldn't work for long that is why we need to know other strategy.

Very right, even martingale strategy will only work for a certain amount of time and can't be trusted also to work all the time. You should know how to strategize on attacking this strategy. Because if you don't, the chance will pass before you know it. The strategies are simple but how you apply it is another thing.
There are so many gamblers even on this forum who know about different gambling strategies but the difference between them and pro gamblers is that the latter one know about the accurate implementation of these strategies. In short, knowing a strategy is not enough to win in gambling.
77  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you stop gambling in a time of crisis? on: March 15, 2020, 10:40:20 AM
Guys, in moments such this we are living, with a crisis just ahead of all of us, do you stop gambling?

In my case, since me engaging in gambling related activities has less to do with profiting than having fun. I won't stop just because of some crisis like what we're experiencing. In the case of the Corona virus, a solution involving me restricting myself from physical casinos can be deployed to avoid coming in contact with affected persons.

Cryptocurrency, smartphone and the internet has made it so easy that you can gamble without having to leave the comfort of your bed therefore gambling through online casinos can be used to replace physical casinos to avoid coming in contact with the virus.

That's right, we can still have fun despite of the pandemic that is happening globally, no threat on corona virus when we are just gambling online, and that is the beauty of crypto gambling. Maybe there's a problem with our income as it affects the economy but we have the government to aid us in case of full lock down, so while we are at home, we can eliminate being bored because we have crypto casinos to be busy with playing.
This is exactly my point. We don’t need to stop gambling because of this pandemic rather gamblers can continue enjoying the perks of gambling by using crypto currencies and internet. If you gamble more for fun than money, this indicates you are not in any addiction and are having good control over greed.
78  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: COVID-19 and its effect in Gambling World on: March 15, 2020, 10:14:04 AM
Now i have to stay home ,so basically im gambling again because of the corona  Grin
i'm not sick  Tongue
Great, enjoy, we will all stay at home because we are scared that we will be infected on the corona virus, if person like Gobert and Tom Hanks are infected, how much more an ordinary people like us, we have to be careful as this is a deadly virus, so chill at home, gamble all you want and enjoy the break.

The more the known personality and higher the chances of meeting or coming in contact with other persons the risk rises of getting infected . So people if possible should avoid travelling and I think now days even casinos would be quite empty as not much travellers are travelling and would like to stay away from a crowded place . This would have an impact in the gambling world for surely .
even celebrities now are being infected by this virus so what more normal people like us?we are more prone to this virus so better keep distance or don't travel at all for our safe keeping.

but i hope this will end soon because i missed watching games now and looking for championship in NBA and our Local Basketball.
Online gambling is in fact not affected by corona virus because here people do not have to meet each other rather they play by sitting at home. But we can experience decrease in the money used for betting because of this pandemic because people have to spend a lot on its medical treatment.
79  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's in the game, after all? on: March 07, 2020, 07:54:11 PM
~Indeed, your chances for a win are lower the higher the multiplier, therefore you are expecting to lose most of your bets, and when you win it feels like good luck to you. When you bet on a lower multiplier, your chances to win are higher, therefore you hope to win most of your bets. But when you fail, you start to blame luck and call it bad luck

I well remember when I was only starting my gambling career(if I may use the word "career" being not a professional gambler), and was exploring various gambling strategies, I was always blaming my failures on bad luck, and when I was winning I thought it was because of my skill. The fun part is that it wasn't poker even, it was dice ffs! Smiley
Gambling is a game that simply has no set rules of strategies and laws that govern the game. So everyone plays it in his or her own style and according to their intellectual levels and sharpness of mind. This is why people blame winning and losing on fate, skills, greed etc. most of the times.
80  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Assess your gambling addiction level. on: March 07, 2020, 07:11:07 PM
I am around in levels 1 to 3 LOL. Though in a sense when I started to put my money to gambling I would not stop even I profited a lot and ending not winning at all. Though I'm prepared not winning anything once I deposited my money into gambling. I only gamble with money I am prepared to lose since anything other than, I have something to make use of it.
This is one of the basic rules of gambling that put only that money on risk that you can lose. No need to bet on that which you cannot afford losing. In this way gambling does not lead to bankruptcy. Those who want to play safe and secure, they never ever go out of the way for making a bet.
