Problem is knowing if you are really mentally stable. Not because you function on a normal basis would already classify you as mentally stable; being one means you are confident with controlling your own emotions, and other aspects of you. If OP refers to people who are diagnosed with mental health conditions and disorders, then that's actually a no. They might be able to divert their attention but they are more prone with addiction on the same instance. But on our ends even if we are often encountering emotional distress, we can still gamble; managing your betting habits will be another story.
As kong as he thinks rationally, then it would be fine 'coz he will still be aware of what is right and what is wrong or when to stop and continue. With being prone to addiction, it depends on your mindset as a gambler. If you are taking too much risk on a daily basis, then you should avoid this industry.  Entertainment is far different from vices and that is the bottomline between these two.
What about the consequences of losing? Gambling is not only for entertainment 'coz if that's so there are for sure other outlets for enjoyment such as console games which are alike with it and not involving real money which could even yield to debt if they'd be lacking sense of control on their losses.

Nothing is guaranteed to both gambling and investment simply because risk is present no matter how you look at it. If there's assurance then many people should be rich by now. Well, in gambling indeed it is more risky but with crypto investment, there's volatility as well. We're just amazed at this moment that the market price of cryptos are continuously increasing but if we would look back early this year and the previous one, that is where hesitation would come from. The market price could fall anytime and even if you won't permanently lose if you avoid selling, question is how long would you be able to hold? Pick a wrong entry and you'll be stuck  in the middle, remember that. Nothing's easy when it comes on earning money. Investing is indeed a better choice but always manage the risk.
Profit won't come in an instant, keep this in mind. If you still have that mindset that investing to Bitcoin will make you rich in an instant, then you're absolutely wrong and would be one to regret once price correction take place ( will always have the possibility to take place simply because the market price of Bitcoin is dependent with demand and supply). Let us leave it as Bitcoin is a good option to engage yourself with if compared with engaging to gambling. Think of why there are investors who stopped and why there are people who are still in doubt.

Yes indeed. Most of the time gambling sites, both new and long existing, are only giving bonuses and welcome offers to their players. It is easy for developers to create a new game, however the question is whether it would be interesting to public audiences or in house gamblers. Most of the time gamblers are still sticking with the games they often play which might probably be the reason. I view innovation in gambling sites as new features in platform such as easy withdraw, allowing parlays, more winning chances/options.
Well there are times coming up with new feature is not necessary but maintenance of what is existing. Reputable ones should maintain their service in order to basically maintain their reputation. The only things which matter for me in gambling platforms, is credibility and trustworthiness, also with urgency on players' concern. These things would be much better in mu opinion 'coz many platforms could offer huge bonuses but not all could always generate solution to problems.

Same reason why I don't use the martingale strategy 'coz if you have a small bankroll, you'd end up with loss by following multipliers in every betting outcome. It is only advisable to those who has large bankroll and those who knows how ti manage the amounts they would wager in every bet. Not because you have a large bankroll it would mean already to bet huge in every match or round; the outcome will be the same as stated above, just with bigger numbers.
A display of greed in mu perspective but not to be a hypocrite, I've been there and also done that. The idea is; "maybe I am luck today and this won't be everyday so I will gamble my luck and the rest of my bankroll". Same thing sometimes when you are in loss that you will push through. Inconsistency is more expected with gambling however, losing has quite of a better sequence most of the time which should be an enough caution to us gamblers. Riding the tide won't be always advised, there are just factors and circumstances to consider.

Well ofcourse genuine and honest reviews, however it has a tendency to be manipulated and tampered by the gambling site itself if it is literally site reviews. Best way is to check if there is a community particularly for that gambling site or to directly ask players in game for their insighys however some won't be that vocal about it 'coz majority are often unresponsive when  asked. Last option is to check and see it for yourself.
I think you are referring to pictures and other things to proof the legitimacu of reviews but again some of it won't be a legitimate review from your fellow gambler. So maybe, it is the quantity which would also be a factor to consider.
Well, this forum could also be a platform to check feedbacks and opinion about a gambling site especially if it is a web 3.0 casino or gambling site. Others are with reddit, telegram chanels, and more but yes it won't be easy especially if the gambling platform you are checking is not yet that popular. Engaging to reputable ones would still be an option.

Indeed fading. But we cannot blame those who though of it given that we can only base from previous market behaviors and it just happened that the charts were covered with red before during holiday season. However, the market is just proving how unpredictable it is. Many people are expecting for a bullish market behavior next year due to the anticipated Bitcoin halving but it seems that there is a chance for the market to sustain its increase until the waited event. Although we have no assurance, the market has been up for a month already which is a good sign. Just keep in mind that price correction might still take place in a sudden so better be careful with your actions such as going all out due to high hopes of a continuous price increase, which is not possible if we would look at different time frames especially smaller ones.
It is only a few days before this year ends and a huge dump is less likely to happen, but next month is a different story. Anticipating the worse is better than to be careless at all. If the price won't be consolidated with a huge dump then that's better. Retracement is indeed possible but so do bullrun. Also, given that the market broke our expectations, then there's also a chance that it may again create its own pattern for 2024. Since no one has the assurance, let us all just wait for things to happen on the actual.

Will only be expensive if you are aiming to invest in 1 BTC instantly. But the idea of investment does not work that way. Of course the bigger the amount, the bigger the profit. However, if your financial capacity is limited, then what can we do about it? Point here is to invest any amount at a good entry point and you will still earn profit from doing so. Profit is profit mindset; you don't need to align your expectations with other people who has a bigger capital than you. Would you be choosing to earn smaller profit than your ideal, or to just not earn at all, not any dime? Problem here is people who wants instant huge profit from a single asset. The market price is indeed high still at this moment then therefore you should wait first as your priority than to let your greed take over the situation. Waiting too much for a smaller market value could also be a problem 'coz the price has a tendency to continue its upward movement. Only invest once you are ready.
Any price point will be fine making an entry with given that its market price is always expected to break its previous ATH. However if dump suddenly take place, you'd be stucked in the middle until the market price again increase. This is why you should know the 'grounds' you will be moving with before actualizing uour purchase of it.

Pull out if you are satisfied already; greed is never a good thing. Indeed majority of the coins in the market have experienced huge pump but given these tokens are most of the time only good for short term holding, then avoid too much greed. If you are already having a feeling and if the charts said so, at least secure a portion of it. On my end I am usually taking 20% of the total profit especially if there is a bit of resistance with the market price 'coz in such way, whatever happens will still leave me with profit. Pushing all of it through will just put me in a bigger risk. I have experienced winning 200%+ then due to greed I did not pull out that tike and just sleep. Just overnight I am already in 67% loss due to the sudden dump in the value of that coin. We just never know what will happen next especially at this point wherein volatility is to high. There is also a confusion still whether bullrun has started already or not.
Also, the market price of any crypto won't continuously increase in a consistent manner; there will always be price consolidations in every resistance levels. Let us normalize taking home some of the profit than to be left with nothing or worse, with loss, if things will not be managed properly.

Corporations often do this to ensure that their other assets will continue revolving. The idea is letting your business pay your debt/loan for you without actually releasing capital from your wallet. The only risk is assuring that the outlet you created would be profitable enough to generate money and pay it off. I agree with what's cited; there is a good side of taking a loan and also a bad side. It just depends on the purpose and idea behind the amount you will borrow. If it will be used to things which won't generate money and will just depreciate over years, then that's basically unnecessary.

Some are doing franchise to lessen the risk of losing money. Franchise businesses will at least give you better chances for a stable gross especially if you are under a good trade name. It is less complicated than with starting your own business from a scratch especially with introducing it to the public unlike with franchising wherein there is already a public exposure to the brand you will be engaging yourself with.

Actually a downside for such transaction not unless they would use wallet to wallet transactions which would make the fees lower. There are many small businesses who tried to do the same thing which is to accept Bitcoin and other crypto as a mode of payment however, fees and volatility of its price became their problem. Business and asset at the same time is quite of a problem obviously; funds in a business are meant to revolve and sustain the business itself. Right now that fees are higher due to the increase with Bitcoin's market price but more likely it will also be shouldered by the customer.
This industry I guess isn't ready yet for such adoption. Well in some countries or places wherein crypto payments are highly accepted then it would be fine since they know how to adapt with these sudden changes. However with countries wherein it is not that supported, it is where things might struggle even if fiat is also accepted as an alternative to it. At the end of the day we'll just hope and support those who took the initiative to adopt at this point.

Betting on live matches is a bit more common 'coz for gamblers in sportsbetting given that they would have more basis of which team would be more likely to win however there's really not that much of assurance. Anything could happen in an instant.  It just so happened that betting prior to games could give you a  more valid bet. But my friend did experience such things before wherein he tried betting during the game and odds dramatically decreased in no time which caused him a lot. You could be lucky enough to win continuously which is also why it will never be advisable to put everything on a single bet no matter how confident you are of it. Anything could happen in a match and even underdogs are sometimes winning over the in favor.

Well yes, that's how advertisement works. They won't be called influencers in the first place for nothing.
Especially to non-gamblers and those who are already curious. Audiences could get their interest up bu watching the streams simply because they are getting idea of how things do really work and what it seems to be in such or particular gambling platform. Giving audiences insights is like giving them a tour of something. But on my end, I never based on streamers to why I am here. I did my own readings on which platform would be worthy of investing my time and money. Articles do helped me but streamers just gives me a biased impression given that they won't advertise it without any amount being involved. It also seems to be scripted seeing some of them winning continuously 'coz that's impossible on a normal basis especially to this activity. They are more likely showing how easy it is to win simply because they aim to persuade their audience towards their promotion.

Thru scaling.
More sites means more gamblers to play. Why? If they had a bad impression with site number one, you can still regain them with site number two.  You could also be a sportsbook alone and another gambling casino alone. You may offer bigger rewards than with your other platforms for players to consider it more but in fact, things are still under your platform.Players most of the time are not sticking to a single site alone to bet. Some are having superstitions that they might be more lucky using other gambling sites and if you happen catch them with your other gambling site, then that's a win for the trade name. There's also a tendency for some gambling site owners who has multiple platforms to be using it as bait before he fly to other and more players.

Developers are indeed behind gambling sites and bugs would really appear as the website grows however, it shouldn't be normalized. Gambling providers and platforms are and should be responsible of overall user experience maintenance. However if it is with refund concerning transaction issue, it should be discussed with the team, and with proofs of course as expected to be asked. If you are in a good gambling site then there'll be a refund but in most instances it won't be in an instant; there'll be procedures of checking the transaction on both ends. But again, it depends to the platform 'coz in some instances they are unresponsive with such concerns. Quite unfortunate and really unfair for players who are just doing their thing. Gambling sites should be aware of such tendency and should have known the best thing to do with such cases.

There are many reputable sportsbook in this industry and it is just us who will be making a choice which one should we engage ourselves with. In terms of mode of payment whether it is BTC or not, Bitcoin has its advantage indeed 'coz its market price is currently pushing upward but it also has its downsides; higher fees for sure and risk of course if ever a dump would take place. UFC fights is one of the common sports being offered to a gambling site or sportsbook which means that if that's only the criteria he's looking for then it would be easy. When it comes to overall trustworthiness, we don't really have the assurance 'coz if it is general definition of tendency, then there are trusted platforms which eventually became a fraud even those which are being advertised by some influencers. So never let your guard down; you may still engage to ones with great reputation but never go all in just to avoid the slightest chance of being scammed and be left with nothing at the end of the day.

Should be in gambling discussion board.
Well, basically being responsible to anything won't do you any harm. Being responsible means you are aware of what you are doing and that will give you a prior solution to a problem which is addiction. Determining your allotted budget and taking a pause, are two baseline knowledge to be used on things which involve risk. Would be helpful indeed however, it won't be easy as it sounds. These things require self discipline and as we all know, not all people have it; if we do have it, then all people should be rich by now. Self-discipline means one's initiative should be present. You can name all the ideal characteristic a gambler should have but not all people has the initiative to set such limit to themselves.

Not admit but diagnosed with such condition. Addiction is not something which usually comes to the awareness of the gambler or an individual. Not because a gambler is betting unbelievably huge amount means that he's addicted in an instant. There are criteria to consider when determining whether a person is addicted to something also with how the individual is affected with that obsession. Some people are just betting huge amount simply because that's their financial capacity of doing so. Likewise with Drake's betting habit if you guys are familiar. That man is also losing huge amount of money in a singlet bet but did we see him cry over it? Not because he is gambling for a long time means he's addicted to this activity.I view it more as an activity which he enjoys. It even seem that he's managing his bankroll in a better manner, 'coz it's been so long since he engaged with gambling activities.

Yes but how the site would be presented, could reflect to how well they give importance to their users. If they are giving efforts to smallest details, then they're more likely to put effort as well with concerns in the long run for their platform. Being minimalist is different from being uninspired. Aside from its appearance, another thing that matters is their credibility to be trusted given that money is involved and it is not solely experience and time which will be wasted if things will get out of hand. There are many platforms to choose from; with different designs and with different offers. Appearance of the platform might be disregarded by some but it is the first thing to give us an impression, therefore it should be also considered.

Will be more frustrating first than addictive. Addiction origins from satisfaction however, the idea is to keep on staking or betting until you win. Once you experience winning and realizing that loss is still bigger or even if his journey became profitable already, there will be a sensation to again bet endlessly, then that would be the time it will be a cycle. Not advisable but works to some people especially those who have large bankroll with proper management. As long as bets are controlled, this strategy could be pulled fine. But if greed will take place along with each bets, you'd be blown by loss and huge debt first before hitting that win and without assurance of a bigger amount than what you have lost.

Quite with the same idea of martingale strategy, but more of a 'free' approach. But I will never agree on taking a loan and just continue betting. You'd be in huge debt for sure and if luck will not still be there, you'd be forced to stop by financial capacity. Nothing's assured no matter how hard you wish of winning and getting back with the money you have lost. Which is why focusing how to manage your bankroll and limit your bets, will be more helpful in the long run that pushing our lucks 'til luck take place.

Well, exposure is the root cause of those problems. We cannot do anything from people who negatively views this industry with terminologies and such. Indeed it is not gambling which pushes a gambler to go all out but the gambler's emotion. However, self-discipline does not take place in a single instance and there should be still a learning procedures which contributes to the negative outcome. Problem only is that gambling industry;wherein there are people who negatively views crypto and gambling investments. Same with platforms wherein they tend to agree with what's mainstream.

Quite unfair also with the platforms.they are sometimes too selective on which one should be promoted or shown to daty.
