I don't think that we should emphatically say this, gambling should be engaged at any time, though your opinion is highly respected since you would have your reasons as well. But for me, it is good to have a balance through the gambling strategy and management, and the said management includes money and risk management and "self" management as well. With this, I can gamble at any time because what I listed above is already enough to check and balance my gambling activities, and if I am not losing through it, then I will surely be fine. Gambling is a huge means of having fun, so if that is the motive of the gambler, should such a gambler deprive himself of the fun every day?

No. Of course, such a gambler might have some day off, but if he wants to gamble for fun for 7 straight days uninterruptedly, I do not think it is a bad idea to do that. Also, if it is to make money, once you have a good plan for it, it will never affect you. But first, the person who will be gambling every day must ensure that he is not wagering big money every day. We all know how risky gambling is, so knowing your capability in terms of finances and the winning possibilities is equally important here for successful gambling. And even if the gambler loses at times, there might be self and money/risk management that will never let it affect him so much.

Above all, do what you like and as you like it, we are not the same people.

That means you have enough to read on the forum to warrant it being your hobby to pass the time because if it is writing mostly, you will not spend more than a few times. Well, you have done well to at least find an alternative to addiction, but in my own, I do not have any addiction to fight, there is no trace of it at all so I am not even trying to pretend there is and be looking for an alternative to fight issues. For this, I continue to remain myself and do what I always do in normal life. I gamble when I want to, read books when want to, engage in forums and social media activities when I want to, trade when I want to, cook when I want to, drink when I want to, stay idle and think when I want to, exercise when I want, and sleep when I want to among others.

This is what I could term willpower at work since I have control over whatever I want to do and the place I want to be. The main reason is that I am never desperate for the money to be gained in gambling as I view it as a funfilled avenue that can give money if one is so lucky, so I never take it seriously as such.

Yours is not about management but self-denial, but for true management, there would have been a planned lay down for such money and not just avoid spending it that day. What about spending it the next day or the day after the next? If there is no cogent plan, there may be issues. However, your advice of keeping part of the winning is a very good one, but have you also considered the cost of sending the money on each winning into a separate account? That must be tasking and exhausting unless the gambler is lucky that his betting platform provided the wallet account for such a management plan in which the money that was supposed to be sent outside the platform is being gradually sent to a separate wallet aside from the main wallet through which gambling is taking place, all internally

Personally, I have not seen any casino or sportsbook offering such a service except in the financial market trading arrangements. This is the best way to manage one's account so that immediately you send the money you do not want to wager at that moment, you are relieved, and it helps to balance one's psychology.

Well, don't think, it is happening, people are actually spending money on that high fee, though it is insane to me, but it is happening nevertheless. I am not even referring to this time that the fee has been reduced much lower than $20, I mean when it was still much higher than $100, people were still transacting with Bitcoin, which is crazy. This is evident in the Mempool, so it is not about making it up, it is traceable. At this time that the fee is better, it is easy for people to now deposit through the blockchain, but I can't still do that. I've been discouraged about Bitcoin, so alternative networks are my options now.

Thankfully, Stake has a whole lot of deposit methods, so why waste my time on Bitcoin that the miners have turned to their personal business? It is never by force, anyone can also switch instead of lamenting. And if your gambling platform offers only Bitcoin, switch to another.

Being gullible is not a misplaced word for such people, this doesn't leave the young and old out of it and it baffles me about what could cause people to always believe what they hear even though the reality is all around them, which is the opposite. Well, one may still get it right when it comes to sports betting, because one way or another, such a person can still maintain very good results of 75% in prediction if he is good and lucky with his sports predictions. But for the casinos' predictions, I bet that the social media channel will not fool people for long before they start coming back to their senses.

Many had tried it on their websites but failed, and many had tried it on different social media platforms but failed. This is why they've become wiser and have turned to influencers in such a way that they only highlight some important functions and features of the betting sites and give some tips that can help gamblers win more. Some will even go to the extent of advising gamblers technically so that it will not be obvious if what they preach later fails.

I think this is still more reasonable to preserve social media channels than just daringly issuing forecasts and bet predictions.

I often see the term DCA in almost everywhere Bitcoin investment is mentioned on this forum but one thing people do not know is that it is relative and subjective, it is never a must. Do you know the situation where I use the DCA approach? They are listed below:

1. I use it when there is an obvious FUD in the market.

2. In a situation where the market has moved significantly up where the price is no more encouraging to buy but still do not want to miss out.

3. Finally, when the market is selling in a short-term correction but the overall bias is still of the bullish trend in the long-term disposition.

However, what is peculiar to all those conditions is that they lack certainty. I will not hesitate to use the DCA in such situations for at least to average my risk and the potential earnings instead of risking everything or being too greedy and daring.

Also, do you know the situation where I do not use the DCA approach? They are just two, and they are when there is better assurance in the market as seen below:

1. When the market is at the bottom level. Just like the condition of Bitcoin in late 2022.

2. When a bullish trend is fully confirmed.

In this situation, I risk everything, and since Bitcoin is a trustable asset, I have nothing to worry about and it has never failed me.

I am used to people, they just bring unnecessary rivalry from nowhere. First, I wonder from the main OP why the brains behind Ethereum and Tron are rivals and the rivals both have all it takes to upgrade and make them scaled better for more rivalry and competition to be achieved, but one did not. Why is Tron then taking it gently and slowly? Well, in my understanding, projects and plans vary, and I believe that what the brains behind Tron want it to look like is what it looks like as we see it presently, and the same thing goes for Ethereum.

For the record, Ethereum will beat Tron many times over for many obvious reasons, we should keep it that way and enjoy both where we prefer them. For investment and other crypto projects, one may want to prefer Ethereum, but for sending money, one may want to prefer Tron.

We are in 2024 and not 1984, and we have to get used to the development. That's why eyes are being opened wider and the government getting advanced in their thing.

But I don't see why theymos or the forum should be dragged into this. He made his intentions known that time and the reason for it which is genuine in every moral reasoning and in the sane world. As usual, people, just like you do now talk less about the allegation but more about the situation, even as you downplayed the core function and capability of the Samourai wallet.


That was an excerpt from "Infosecurity magazine." And this is another mind-opener for theymos to further restrict some things (if he wants), but no one can blame him if he is not stricter enough for some reasons best known to him.

Bro, truly, this is a consideration, but people are taking it too far. Think of it, since you've been growing up till today, how many places have you dropped your personal details and contact details? Have they harmed you till today? This is peculiar to those who overemphasise the danger in completing the KYC, it is not so bad and dangerous. Most of these guys are not even worth $2500, is that what they are coming to your house to rob you for? And if it is online, is the person childish to the point of clicking the unfamiliar links, sending OTP/2FA code to strangers or even entertaining a conversation with a stranger, especially when money is related? If the person did that, then it is his fault and not the fault of the KYC.

I'm just saying that in the worst-case scenario, we should not believe that KYC is a cause of imminent danger or privacy infringement. The data leak we are even talking about is in degree, and if they do not know you to warrant a direct threat, the major thing they need is your email and phone number, they do not have any business at your house. And if you are careful enough on your path, all their online efforts will still be to nothing. Some people will not stop making me laugh here, imagine, someone who has only $2500 as the maximum amount in an international casino that is many miles away from his country still afraid of data leaks and personal threats. Will they (perpetrators) fly from their country down to you just because of your peanut? People often take this too far despite completing KYC with banks and many other formal and informal establishments (brokerages, hotels, hospitals etc.).

What I think here is that casino is business for so many people, they are not just professional, prepared, and creative about it, but still, they have enough money to get it established. This is why they buy the expertise of those in the field who got it done for other established casinos. In this arrangement, what do you expect? There is no way the work will not be similar since it is the same brain that is always getting it done for these casinos. Even if it is not all about the same brain since there will be many experts in the field, still, some software must be the same thing and must run on a lookalike platform for proper operation.

This is because those experts putting it together for the casinos can't start coding for all games all by themselves, that's a whole lot of work and money. To avoid that, they contact the already made software companies to help them. And for this, it is possible that we see much of a lookalike. This will persist regardless of our thoughts, and personally, I am not concerned about it. The UI has never been my issue with any casino, an average is still very good, but for the UX, I take it seriously.

Absurdity is the only word I can think of that fits the examples you cited, are you even for real? Because I've never come across casinos that are so selfish to this level. It will be awful for people to be playing there unless they are wagering so small to the point that they will never know, and if they know, they will never be affected because they are so low in margin compared to this limit. So, a casino can limit my withdrawal to $1,000 per day, but they can take as much of my deposit no matter how big it is. Think of it, if I wager $50,000 in such a casino, and I placed a bet that delivered $150,000 into my account in aggregates, how many years would I complete the withdrawal of my entire money? It's only a fool who has big money can play there because they offer you nothing but selfishness.

About the maximum win, it is still okay since they are using that to manage their portfolio and internal risk. How would you feel if you wager too much to the point that your withdrawal can't be paid? And this will always be commensurate to the money you wager, so there is no issue here.

Also, the terms and conditions are one of the issues here, and they are doing this because the government is playing uncared attitude, otherwise, they would have stopped them. Fine, they have the right to update their terms and conditions, but they must always alert the customer and send a copy to them and also highlight the exact portions that were updated to avoid reading the whole epistle over again. Any casino that did less can't have any right on the customer in a court of law if sued.

Except for religion's sake, I do not see any reason why gambling should be totally condemned and stopped by the government, for what? What they can do is what they've been doing, and any country's government that could take it upon themselves to warn of the issues in gambling has done their part. If they did not do anything, it is you guys who will be blaming them, but now that they do it, you are still complaining. Gambling is an adult activity that is a choice, and since no one is forcing you, the government may not be bothered. It is our choice to gamble, can't we do without it? It is certainly not essential, so, it can be let gone by anyone. Sincerely, I do not know what you want the government to do in this regard.

However, the government should be more reasonable in the area of the terms and conditions of gambling companies, there is a lot of cheating going on there. There are ways the government can balance some terms and conditions in support of both parties and not allow the terms and conditions that favour the gambling companies to continue to thrive unabated. Also, the government should be more serious about the complains of people in terms of cheating/manipulation and scam. Sadly, they are turning a deaf hear to it. which is not acceptable. Such Deafening attitude is only emboldening the companies to do it the more.

Thank you for this emphatic statement, I do not see a reason for any of them to play us, and for the record, none of them is to be done by force. One thing is that the OP see things in his own way, and that is fine, I respect people's opinions, but constructively, we continue to educate and guide them not to wrongly impose the wrong ideas on people. Gambling is a choice, but this choice entails you taking an entire risk on what you wager at once. It is now left to you to know the game you want to bet for the chance therein and how your expertise can help you to be on top of your game.

This includes the luck coefficient as well, so it is all about you, your choice. You can imagine me gambling sports betting if I am serious about making money in gambling. This is because I've realised and accepted the fact that casino betting has a higher risk, so I safeguard against the cheap ways of losing my money. And whole system is fair because if I lose, I lose to their pock and if I gain, I gain from their pocket, no one is cheating the other. Regardless, the risk is involved and we can't do away with it, that is why they call it Gambling, even as all the terms and conditions must have been well stated, so no one is cheating anybody.

As for trading, this one is even better specified and modelled, it's stricter and more formal than gambling when it comes to the people behind it. This is a pure business, but since it's an electronic business that is risky and is delivered to informal people, people do not take it so seriously, which is one of the reasons why they lose through it. Nevertheless, if you know how to trade well, you get easy and tangible money from it, needless to say, I can point to many successful traders. These guys also pay all the charges and still manoeuvre their ways in trading to regularly get their success from it.

Bro, you could be wrong if you are relying on that. Those influencers are so crafty these days, that they will plan it in such a way that will make the pros to be about 90% or more, and the cons to be about 10% or less. This is often common and done for people not to entirely suspect them and doesn't mean that they actually reflect the truth. Just believe in yourself these days and what you can actually verify. You can testify to this based on what is happening with the search engines these days. When you search for the Best, do not ever think you will actually see the best service popping out, it could probably be the Worst service that would pop out on the first list.

Do you now think they will not carefully write something to cajole you that it is actually the best even as they also write some cons to make you not suspect them? This is why we should be very careful.

You are on the right path bro, and that is why I do say that you do not just learn how to gamble, you should also learn how to manage your gambling portfolio. And not alone that, you need to learn how to control yourself so that as you try to gamble to bid for the money you will not get caught in the web of psychological woes. This is not always going well with gamblers and could cause what you know to amount to nothing because if you are held by it, all you know would be dropped, it is what you did not plan for that you will be doing. For this, all points are still in line, only that the three important factors/scopes iterated must not be taken lightly by any gambler to avoid issues.

To achieve this, gamblers must find a way to enforce a balance, the gambler must have the right calculations and plans so that no matter how good he trusts his gambling strategy, the right budgets and management must also be enforced under strict discipline and determination to keep a balance. Such a gambler must ask questions and have plans on why to gamble, when to gamble, the time to start gambling and when the gambling session ends. This has included the duration of gambling, so no room for excesses.

With all these, I believe that all gamblers will know their place in it and will limit their gambling issues.

The $13,500 is a whole lot of money, so the money must be out by force. Well, this is not the first time that gambling agents have tried to play smart on the customers, but this is not a difficult case, police involvement is key. The first thing they will ask the guy is the ticket with the right winning number. If truly another person has come to claim it with the same ticket, it will be seen by all.

I don't think the ticket can be doctored, if it can, the fraud in this regard would have been rampant. But because it can't be doctored, the fraud is less and is often perpetrated by gambling agents. In most cases as well, the physical gambling outlet is merely a franchise, and despite that the main company exist, there will be the owner of the franchised outlet who would also employ operators. This is why the case is somehow difficult at times, regardless, this is not the first time agents would deny money but the money was later released.

At times, the fault could be from the owner of the franchised outlet, and at times too, it can be the employee(s). But when this is becoming persistent, I see no reason why the head office should not close the outlet down. It is soiling their name.

You guys should stop deceiving yourself about this and thereby preaching weakness to people. There are testable working ways to stop addiction and there are addicts that can testify to it. The fact that something is tough to achieve does not mean that it can't be achieved, and the fact that a certain means of cure doesn't work for some certain people doesn't mean it is not the right advice or procedure, people are different, and so how they take thing. There are many factors to be considered here as well, which include the willingness of the gambler in question, the level of the damage already caused and the mind power of the gambler himself.

However, this mind power goes a long way, and if it is weak, the procedure may not land on the right soil but a rocky ground in the minds of the addicts which will make it difficult for it to yield as expected. Enough gamblers have visited therapists without any medicine and got healed, it is all out meeting the right experts and the cooperation of the person himself. However, those kinds of efforts like self-exclusion or locking of one's money are not procedural for an adduct to heal, they are just like cutting the grass from the surface, it will continue to germinate if it is not uprooted from the root.

It has been confirmed 100% indeed and I believe more is to come because the US and EU government seems getting more serious these days. And for me, is there any crypto establishment that can be trusted? Sadly, people often talk about the seizure but do not condemn the offence.

Besides, what is happening in the crypto world reminds me of my warning many times even as people claimed the decentralised system can't be brought down by the government, blah blah blah. Is it not the government we are talking about? They can do what pleases them and just because they've not clamped down on something doesn't mean they do not have the power or will still not clamp down on it. They have all the information, the power and the resources to do so, we should just hope for less destabilization of our plans regarding crypto simply for the sake of trying to control everything.

What I can conclude is that I am reading from a joker , you are just playing, nothing more. I know you wrote this just because you want people to read what they like about Bitcoin...lol. But in reality and fairness, bro, get used to it. Bitcoin is already a big name in the cryptocurrency market which I also appreciate so much, but there is always need for a healthy competition in the system. I wondered what would happen if there were no alternatives when the Bitcoin transaction fee hit almost $200 a few days ago, and I've not seen a year in which we do not have too many issues with the fee structure. Maybe your transaction hasn't been delayed for way too long, you will know the difference. As much as I appreciate Bitcoin, I can't but praise other useful coins too.

About the issue of the transaction, I've had my fair share of almost 2 months of transaction delay, so get used to Cryptocurrency as those alternatives which make it called Cryptocurrency since it's not Bitcoin alone are doing many things Bitcoin is not capable of doing whether you like it or not.

Lastly, they are all Cryptography projects that deal with Currencies, so the two terms formed Cryptocurrency. I wonder how it will be reasonable for Bitcoin to be Crypto-Currency alone when others have the same characteristics/properties and capability as itself.

Did you mean rug pull? Well, this is not uncommon in the crypto world, it is you who will be careful about that. We've always said it, DYOR well and stop blaming others even as you know and admit that you are taking risks in the crypto world. If this allegation is very true, is it the Solana system that can be blamed for this? Certainly not, many issues arise in this sense. Mind you, for a project to fail doesn't necessarily mean that the brains behind it expected it that way or they are scammers in all cases, something may go wrong out of their plans. So you can't entirely blame the system, the system is only a third party here. What if they've done their internal work before passing them for the project and it still fails?

Also, don't you know that cryptocurrency is mostly known for its privacy, so why do you want the Solana ecosystem to be poking nose in another person's affairs if such doesn't want himself to be revealed? The cryptocurrency world is not a centralised world, so you should blame less. To reveal yourself in any crypto project is by choice which I do not think Solana has power over. Needless to say, you should have named the failed meme projects, I mean the recent ones, because those ones I know are doing fine in the market.
