Besides singing and acting Drake had made a name in the gambling sector. He can be added as one of the biggest gamblers in recent times. However, there has been suspicion that all these big bets are public stunts to promote a particular betting platform. It is well known that he gambles with a particular casino with which he has a connection.
-snip-
Regarding a promotion or not, it seems that losing gambling has been experienced quite often by Drake. But this time the loss reached $1 Million in 2 individual bets worth $500,000 on the Edmonton Oilers and Dallas Mavericks being his big losses. I know how we all that haven't made such money will be feeling right now with enormous thoughts in our head of useful things we can do with $1M because, it appears as though Drake is wasting money not knowing what to do with it but going by his networth and the records of each bets he has made and loss, I think he has always staked with a percentage amount he can afford to lose in relation to his worth which means he is not an addicted gambler AFAIK. Which is why he doesn't get moved by any of those losses though it's painful how he has to lose this way in every of his bet that he is now associated with the nickname The Drake-Curse. I feel for the dude though. |

Some people buy things without the aim of making profit from them; they just want to help those things gain adoption and also have value or gain more value. For instance, the person who bought the "buy bitcoin sign" for 1 million dollars has helped bitcoin gain adoption. For instance, when you see the news that someone bought a "buy bitcoin sign" for 1 million dollars, you will want to know the reason why someone used such a large amount of money to buy the "buy bitcoin sign." In the process of your research, you find out the problems bitcoin will solve in the world, and you will not want to be left out. Before you know it, you will start making plans to accumulate bitcoin. Some people also buy things that will not give them profit or have no value just to appreciate the creators of those things.
When people buys things of this nature they do that for two main purpose which are fame and profit either for the now or in the future, its a phenomenon about humans not to do things without a captured intrinsic interest. I mean bitcoin has for anything made a name for itself with such popularity that when people talk about cryptocurrency the first crypto they mention is bitcoin, with the exponential surge of investors in bitcoin market. Anyone buying anything affiliated to become now is not just dong that to popularize bitcoin for adoption but for his personal sake to either for fame or profit that's just that underlying point for an investor to have to spend 1milion dollars that way. |

If you were the owner of the casino, what would you think when people like that gamble at your place?
I dont quite get what you are asking here. Casinos are businesses, gamblers are their customers. The casino wants them to lose money, gamblers want to win. Its pretty straightforward. That's why I opened this thread, a simple answer but it has a very deep meaning and has a certain purpose for this thread that I made, that as you said the casino wants you to spend money there, I some people who don't understand how he is in a gambling addiction need to see this thread and how he is actually being used that he is just exchanging their time and money for a game. That i own a casino today or in the future i probably see the gamblers that walk in to my casino to gamble as my clients/customers, as people that are in the weak end where in fact i am the one sitting at the strong edge of the whole obscuration interest for profit. because that's how i firmly perceive is the perspective with which casino owners view we gamblers with. it is never in their best interest that the gambler survive a session, for its a battle for profit which both parties don't want to lose (if one continuous to make loss he falls off from business, and the other should he loses either continuous to chase his loss or quit go home as a loser to come back another day), which is why i find it hard to comprehend why some gamblers will expose themselves to gambling addiction for what exactly. |

I think this my newly investor friend was out of pride and just wanted to make this other guy feel regret but does not know the dangerous implications he has just made upon himself and his Bitcoin assets.
It is unfortunate for investors who lives this life of proving themselves to people just to make them believe on their investment.
We don't know if he did what he did out of pride or by sheer attitude of trying to convince the doubting friend about bitcoin with a proven evidence directly from his wallet. One thing is here is certain, you didn't preach to him about privacy with bitcoin and how important not to comprise on it. While we brush people up about how profitable bitcoin can be to them if they invest long we should with that approach enlighten them too on the tenets of how to safeguard their investment from public notice because privacy is peace. The more people don't know about your finances the more peaceful and secure live becomes for you. |

Yesterday I was sorting my winnings tickets I put while watching the game, had quite a nice sum and while standing in line to cash them I thought about how money is moving around, got the idea it's pretty close to a wealth redistribution.
Might be a stupid theory but hear me out on this, we have the gamblers that bet on 1 million, half of them lose, half of them win, the casinos get their 5% share, from this share they pay wages and rent and other costs, cutting the part where the casino gets the money it's that basically gamblers pay the wages of the whole staff manning those, and they also shuffle money between them.
Assuming rich people have more to lose and their share of the losses is bigger, taking into account they support with this money a ton of jobs, 70 000 in Europe alone, is this a form of wealth redistribution?
Any multi business requires workers for them to put hands on deck to get things working and, the workers must be paid for their services as it's no charity organization. Then in the chain of wealth distribution assuming that's actually what the wins and losses in casinos entails, the casinos are the ones getting the largest share % in the distribution, while a small amount of money goes to the few gamblers that manage to get a win. During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 which led to the temporary stop of some of the popular sports leagues leading to a low patronage from gamblers due to the sit-at-home order by the government yet, the gambling industry in Nigeria still made a monthly billion $ benchmark with a daily $5+M profit, how much more now all activities have resumed worldwide. check here. |

Does your country tax gambling winnings and if so do you declare it yourself or does the gambling operator withhold the taxes on your behalf?
In my own country gambling win are been taxed but not all wins as there is a set-up amount you have to win for you to be taxed from. Small money wins has nothing to do with government taxes. Am sure on this because I have always withdraw every of my wins in complete figure owing to the amount. Only huge wins and the gambling companies are taxed and it makes sense to me that way instead of classifying all gamble win. Am sure this is not same with other countries where they tax almost any amount of gambling win without putting into consideration how much money the gambler must have lost previously before arriving to that meager win. |

With the presence of KDB, Lukaku and Doku in the frontline I had thought they would give a reply to that early goal from Slovakia before the end HT. Although Belgium has absolutely had some good chances but they are all getting ruined and frustrated by the brilliance of the Slovakian defenders. Coming back to the second half the trio must intensify their campaign against the Slovakian defense to grease in a goal into behind the net, in any worse result a 1:1 draw could be commended.
Overall up to 90 minutes does not include additional minutes (7 minutes) given, Belgium plays poorly. Although not dominant, Slovakia is far more disciplined than Belgium. Analytically in all that transpired throughout the second half on the pitch, it would be very unfair to conclude that Belgium played poorly in this match despite their defeat. It was a whole moment of dazzling hard luck for the Belgians having their supposed two goals ruled-out for an offside and the other for a handball. On the other hand, It's however, very impressive with how Slovakia were able to repel the dangerous and rich quality squad of the Belgium team reducing their efforts to nothing. Their fans would be proud of them tonight for insuring 3points in their first game. |

Belgium 0 : 1 Slovakia (HT)
The first half result between Belgium vs Slovakia was an unsurprising result. Without Courtois, he would not be able to withstand the opponent's attacks. The risk of not calling Courtois in the first place was already a big mistake for them. Initially looking at group E, it was assumed that Belgium would qualify easily, but in my opinion it was the opposite, Romania, Ukraine and Slovakia had surprises that Belgium would definitely not easily overcome.
Doku, De Bruyne and Lukaku on the front line are quite ideal because the combined attack pillars of these three players can be very effective, but it comes back to whether these three players can find a match with each other to break through the opponent's goal. In the second half Belgium should have been able to catch up, 1 goal could still be achieved and Slovakia appeared more aggressive to secure the score.
Slovakia isn't a weak side that we would have expected the Belgium side to dominate the game and not conceive an early goal if it were to be that courtois was in the goalie. The early leaf by Slovakia was an opportunity which presented itself and they had to take it. Casteels has made number of saves in the first half particularly that precised volley kick in the 40th minutes. With the presence of KDB, Lukaku and Doku in the frontline I had thought they would give a reply to that early goal from Slovakia before the end HT. Although Belgium has absolutely had some good chances but they are all getting ruined and frustrated by the brilliance of the Slovakian defenders. Coming back to the second half the trio must intensify their campaign against the Slovakian defense to grease in a goal into behind the net, in any worse result a 1:1 draw could be commended. |

I have observed great number of traders debate on the issue of having a solid psychology and right approach to trading better pay off than just relying on some Strong Technical Analysis but others don't believe in psychology they base there points on having a winning strategy and proper risk management
What's your take guy's...
Does Psychology exist or is just an illusion of you not having the right approach and risk management, fundamentals...that affect your trades
In my not too little engagement in trading, I have realized that your psychology plays the biggest role of you being a successful trader or not. All the fundamental and technical analysis including risk management does not take more than 20% of you being successful in trading. Trading is actually vigorous and will take you a long time to be a profitable one. But the bigger picture lies on you being able to handle your psychology. I have had experience about it before and those alike have also said the same about trading. You will most time do your fundamental and Technical analysis and also employ proper risk management but your inability to control your psychology (emotions) will make you not to trust that analysis and you end up leaving the trade too early at loss or not even enter the trade at all and regret why you never did when it goes your way. Psychology is important in trading and if you’ve find a way to handle it, you’re 80% success rate of being a profitable trader. Do you imply that Psychology is the key in Trading and not necessarily TA; I disagree. TA is more than 20% when it comes to Trading. Am not saying Psychology is not vital, but Psychology is a crap when you do not have a good Technical edge, the Technical edge is what builds you, gives one the confidence, and also boost your win rate because you already know what you should and should not in a Market, the reason many Traders fail is because they blame psychology whereas they are the problem from there strategy, approach risk management all sucks. . To be well organized as a sophisticated trader both technical analysis and psychology are in-part very important in leading to a successful win on any trade. You don't rely so much on one and overlook the other, in fact they both work in synergy to put the trader in the right direction with his strategy entering the market. A trader can have a great T.A about the market and gets in but ends up losing that trade due to a lack of a strong psychology on his part when the market throws a fake out at him. You have to be prepared for the two because that's what it takes to win. |

Do you believe this analogy as to sport betting? that sometimes, casino bets with higher stakes are likely to not cut it? Considering the amount that a certain multiplier could reach?
I've known a certain group of gamblers that would sing their praises to games with lower potential winnings. At some point, I'm stuck in-between the fact that they're either lucky with games of little potential winnings and it happens on almost every winning tickets? Again, if you're also in doubt to their belief, is their winning tickets on the low outcome always a coincidence? Also, if the casinos are always cautious as to not incuring too much to pay, how about tickets with $800k winnings?
There is no way a belief of any kind has a role to play in the prospects of odds playing or not. It's a common axion to know that high odds games has slim chances of getting us a winning while low odds are the ones with greater winning chances. It's a statistic that bookmakers are aware of and uses It to the house advantage except in lucky grounds that we gambler get to profit from higher stakes. I would have agreed with others who say it's a 50/50 but calculating how many times we gamblers get to win using higher-up odds to that of losing its within reason to say it's actually a 30/70 chances than 50/50. |

Responsible gambler who is said to gamble for fun is not identified by words but by their gambling actions which are not excluded to loss chasing, gambling excessively, compulsive gambling and the likes.
That you give yourself a target percentage to use for gambling out of your salary or savings doesn't make for complete exhaustion of that percentage to gambling. If am to expend any percentage for gambling from a 10,000$ savings it wouldn't be 10%, that's much for a 10k savings. And I think it would be much fun and entertaining if less percentage should be used for someone with a 10k savings.
Percentage are shares and this will take the next phase. Responsible gambler will partake in gambling that will fetch them huge earnings. Gambling is a tough one, we should be able to stationed for good strategies for winnings. Giving yourself a target is necessary and we know basically what to do. what do you mean by percentage are shares? Do you mean to say they are like investment shares or what? Participating in gambling by going after huge earning can be very risky and frustrating as smaller wins are easier to come by than huge wins which could make a gambler experience series of losses over a long time of gambling. Perhaps the reason why we see those posts in the gambling board talking about how they have been experiencing losses over time without a single interlude win. Since gambling is a tough game even though we do share some fun in it it's fundamental to be mindful of the size of wins we go for as the higher the amount the higher the risk involved. |

"Bankroll" is usually a term used in sports betting. From what I've read in some of the threads here, we need to be disciplined in managing our bankroll, typically betting only 5% to 10% per wager. So I'm curious: do bettors here really set up a bankroll first before they start gambling, or do they just gamble whenever they have available money?
.
Bankroll isn't a new concept in the forum as it's constantly discussed in diverse ways in the forum. It is a fundamental mechanism in gambling responsibly, in as much as it's important in helping the gambler not to gamble away every available cash at hand so fast, not every gambler adhere to theirs. Some don't bother having it. Please share your experience whether positive or negative and what you learn from it
Am quite sure I would have recked my finances by now if have been gambling all along without a bankroll. I don't know how others gambling comfortably without a bankroll but am sure their experiences won't be a sweet one to be in. |

Just remembered that I have written the recovery seed phrase of my Electrum on a piece of paper somewhere in my place. I'm wondering what could go wrong since my place isn't too secured. How about trying to memorize it? Is it possible?
Would you try?
What are the benefits? ... and the setbacks.
Our seed phrase isn't just any other kind of phrase which is why it shouldn't be written just on any paper and shouldn't be placed in any place not well secured. Think again, you might actually have somewhere really safe to have it kept. On memorize our seed phrase if it's possible. Yes it is, and it's has so much to do with the individual's level intelligence and the length of the phrase and other determinant like how busy a person you are, as in how occupied you get with many other things at hand needing your attention. For someone like me with so much to meet up in my head I'll prefer writing it down and have it kept in a safe position as my human faculty can fail me due to stress and other factors. |

These are actually good sites to look for a job, but if the op has no skill to offer on these platforms then these won't be of much help to him but it is still a good post. Thanks for sharing it with us. Although we can start making money online with few skills and some good communication skills and yeah with some luck too. I hope OP would find some job I don't know where he lives, I mean I thought people mostly living in Europe countries don't have to struggle about finding a job. Skill' it is preparation meeting opportunity but when a person is without any useful skill an opportunity doesn't seem to become an opportunity for that individual. And no where in the world is all that perfect as there will certainly be some defects somehow, just that somewhere it will me very minimal, else where it will be very extreme (I mean the job issues). And worse of it in Op case to his difficulty in finding a job as he wish is as a result of his health problem. According to the Op he's suffering from a leg and back health challenge and you and I knows that no manager will want to hire such a person, for them it's a liability in the search for efficiency and great productivity.
Therefore @AGD, it's not too late despite what you may be going through at the moment, pick up yourself because if you don't then know one will do it for you. Take opportunity of the internet and learn an online skill, you can use YouTube and other channels to do so, and in no time you won't have to be beg for any supports. Finding oneself under such condition it's crazy I know, but best to have a digital skill where you can work remotely from home with any organization at all, in that way your physical challenge won't matter to your employer so far as you're delivering your task as demanded. |
