I don't keep records on how much I have wasted on gambling but I do know that I am not a winner when it comes to gambling, I have noticed that I use to lose more money than I have ever win, and even reading gamblers reviews online I have notice that many people lose money in gambling and only handful of people win in gambling, if this doesn't tel you that gambling isn't for money making I don't know what could.
If your main goal is not fun you will be disappointed with gambling, that's why using gambling as your source of income is so wrong, it's better to look into something else, gambling only make sense if you are doing it for fun and with small money, the probability of you losing almost every thing in gambling is high.
As easy as gambling sounds to majority of gamblers in the world today, I declared that gambling is the most hardest way of making money, you don't know what you will get and the only part that's certain is losing money over and over.

Well id say you should go for it OP, anything is possible with Bitcoin investment, the only thing that I haven't done with Bitcoin is building my very own house and I will do it in the near future, if you believe that you can do it them pursue the dream.
The only part that I want to correct you is about yourself, I know the importance of parent and if I am in your shoe right now I would build myself up first, for the main time the only thing you can do for them is give them care, building a house for your mother should come after you build yours first, remember that they are hold, and she still lives with your father, so even if you build the house right now she won't want to leave your father behind.
Use money to take good care of them, and also show how much you love them both, but your ultimate target should be you building yourself up, up to the stage where you won't have to go broke in life again, whether you like it or not, your parents are old, they don't need the best things of life anymore, what most old parents need is care, not necessarily expensive shits.

If you want to lose your money, place bet on bottle flipping, you will instantly regret, some people are so good at this game that they will only lose if they feel like losing, this is just a game of fun to waste time away, do not bet money on this game, unless both players are new to the game because it's easier to get really good at it.
Local games are so much fun, not just this bottle flipping game but few other local games, but placing bet on such games isn't good as it's not fair, I still prefer placing bets on ludo and Whot game, and the money isn't even up to $0.5, not the amount to feel weird about if you lose.
I like such games because you can play with your friends, there is no battling with the house, it's more exciting than trying to win the house.

I don't have any large bets on sports because it's still gambling and I know why I need to only risk what I can afford to lose, either sports or roulette you need to risk what you can afford to lose, if the money you are risking first whenever you lose it them you shouldn't be gambling, you should be building ways to make more money until you get to a spot where gambling no longer hurts.
What kind of hurt can come to you when you are making thousands of dollars in a month and you are risking $100 or $300 every week on gambling? Also gambling money needs to come straight from your entertainment budget, not your savings or mortgage payment.
I use very low amount on gambling and I don't gamble more than two times in a week, and if good amount of money is made in that week I can gamble three times in that week, the amount is too small for me to remember the results but I do know that I lost most of the time.

It depends on the gambler...
Some loses control right after they see their friend cashing out big amount of money, they lose their sense of responsibility and they want to try the method of their friend, they forget instantly how it's very important to abide by your own limits and gambling strategy.
Some losses control after they lost just like you said, it's because they aren't prepared to lose that money, such people don't understand the word gambling, they are new and decide to gamble just because they believe it's that easy, so they start chasing their losses hoping to recover it back at least.
Some losses control after they win, this is very common to few numbers of people that I know, they get very happy and they build full confidence in gambling, thinking that everyday will be the same, it's even possible that they will get reckless with gambling after the win, some set goal and limit amount they can afford to lose but wait till they win a round, they will start increasing the amount, they will do the calculation in their head that if they have risked a higher amount in the first place they would have made bigger money.

Almost everything, because what I have achieved today is all thanks to Bitcoin and crypto, I started with nothing and ended with everything, money, value, respect, peaceful living, I got married and all I spent was from Bitcoin, I bought my first car with Bitcoin, I am able to take care of my mother after my father passed and many other things.
It's just painful that everything worked out the same year that I lost him, I was very prepared to pay him back for everything he had done for me, he was there for me when I was nothing, in many country, parents with child of my age always force their children to start bringing money, as far as he is done with school the child should provide, my parents are not like this.
My people who have the power to help me decided to not care and that even strengthen me and I focused on Bitcoin with all my heart, I did everything as if it was my last hope to get out of my uncomfortable zone and I was right all along, today I am still buying and holding Bitcoin and I can't wait to grow even higher by 2025.

I keep seeing gamblers advising themselves that you are one step closer to winning the jackpot when you quit too early, it's sad that they strongly believe this.
Is this true?
This advice is actually making gamblers believe that they can win when they spend a lot of more time in the casino, they strongly believe that not stopping or taking break will bring them closer to their jackpot.
One of em told me that this is why I don't win, that I only gamble when I feel like, he said constantly gambling is a must if you want to win, but I disagree, because I have seen too many people not knowing when to quit until it was too late.
To me, gambling is a theater, a form of entertainment that I pay for, not a way to get rich quick, for them it's a must to win by force, one question seem to change his mood though.
I asked him why he isn't rich yet if he is actively gambling everytime since all this while, this changed his mood and I took a turn.

Any problem can concerns financial growth you say? Hmm makes me want to ask people on here for money whenever I need one, hehe, Bitcointalk forum can't solve all problem, if you are trying to solve problems and issues something that's concerning crypto then you come to the right place, this platform is all in one for crypto space combine.
If anyone comes on this forum with problem concerning crypto and its not solved then they want something else entirely, they problem is from their ends not this forum, if I have come across bitcoin talk from day one I would have taken the short path knowing about crypto, believe me, I took the hardest route, made some mistakes that could have been avoided if I know about this forum earlier on.
I think it's finner to say that Bitcointalk forum is a home of solution to those who want to learn, because believe me, many people don't want to, they are here to be told what they want to hear, you can easily make money doing this and that kinda thing, most newbies lacks patience and we all know that those who lacks patience in crypto space don't deserve it's reward.

Is there anyone alive that's not already giving back to the community? I laugh when people ask this type of question because I believe that someone somewhere is benefitting from us, either rich or poor some people are taking from us, all you need is to think, you don't have to be rich before people can take from you, we help people, even if you have hate for everyone there will always be those who you like helping.
Now with gambling it isn't that different, if you win a jackpot and you decide to give back to the community its your call, I don't know what I will do if I ever hit the jackpot but helping is generally something that I love doing, and either I am rich or not I will still keep doing it anyways.
The poor have this mentality of judging the rich but little did they know that the rich are responsible for some things they are benefitting from in their environment, there is no need for them to carry out an announcement that they do this or that but the poor people think that rich people are too greedy..

If you are a beginner, do not start gambling through streamers videos because you can easily get addicted to gambling, I just do gambling without knowing that casino streamers exists when I start gambling, and later watching streamers doesn't push me into making bad decisions, if I have no past experience about the dangers of gambling and I start watching casino streamers I will easily become a victim to my own greed, those casino streamers can make someone to get addicted easily.
I have not seen whereby a casino streamer make small gains on their stream, they always hit the numbers you couldn't after many times trying, and they hit the number ones or more, this is why it's suspicious to me, you don't want to get encouraged by streamers, you won't want to quit gambling until you have nothing left.
There are few numbers of legit streamers and you will see that they constantly lose money too, on par with the kind of experience you got while gambling, but some of them have abnormal result in gambling and I believe such games are not to be trusted.

I agreed, but gamblers are used to this word of " you are one step closer to winning a jackpot when you quit too early", isn't this the word that's perfectly fit for greedy gamblers? Your win can be around the corner when you quit too early but why care?
Also if this is even close to been true why is it that those who spent hours in casino playing one game after another all go home empty handed? I think the longer time you spent in a casino the the more dangers of you losing your money.
I don't visit the casino because I've heard a lot of things about it, all in the name of making their customers feel at home, how can you visit a casino and you are been served free drinks? It's part of their plan, to make you lower your guide, like someone said to me that casinos look very nice to make players feel relaxed but visit their bathroom you will meet some gamblers crying their eyes out, because they lose all their money.
Just be careful when visiting offline casinos.

It's not always the same with drug addicts, the one I knew sold his sister to his friend for a night and she was a virgin, how cruel is that just to buy drugs? Maybe the addicts you know don't have the will to do wrongful things just so that they can buy drugs that's why you think that all drugs addicts still have their sense active, some of them lose their senses and do bad things to other people, I fear drugs more than gambling because you can easily do things to other, I mean evil things without you realizing it until the drugs wear off.
Addiction is generally not good, either drugs or gambling, and if anyone you care for is taking this steps you have to also take the step to stop them with all your might before it's too late, there is a little boy who is just 12 in the family that is trying to do what his friends are doing at school, after several punishments in school he still won't change until his father decided to take the son to prison using the connection on people he knew in the force, that was how he was saved from gambling and bad habits, they made him see the reality, some gamblers ended up in prison because they own debts and they decide to rob people so that they can pay back but getting caught in the process.
Drug addiction makes you lose your focus and makes you worthless for the time being, and if you take too much it can start affecting your brain, I believe that Drug addiction have all it takes to jeopardize your health and make you do crazy things with you not knowing, but gambling addiction isn't like that, it's all about more money if you are a gambling addict, there is no threat on your health state.

It's a problem for me to trade Bitcoin with anybody face to face, sorry, many things have happened that have robbed me of the little trust I have left in humans, just because the amount you trade is little doesn't mean you are safe, those who you trade with already know that you are into crypto and that's all they need, just pray that they are good people, because it's possible for them to think that you have more, saying that you will trade less amount face to face means you still trust people and I pity you.
Hunger and poverty is now what people put blames on when they do evil thing to humans like them, they are willing to hurt you for small amount and you are here saying that doing face to face trade is save if you are trading small amount, it's a no no no for me, I don't know what makes Binance have that option available, I have always see it on my Binanace account and I believe it's the most stupid thing an exchange can have as payment option.
Satoshi goes hidden for this same reason and you want to do this openly? It's stupidity, once your face is known that's it, avoid doing this, it makes not even the slightest sense, binance is baking like a kid implementing this option, and they should have learned when their workers where forced to empty their crypto wallets.

If I am very good at math I would have look into games that has everything to do with math but unfortunately I am not, that's why I choose Slots game as the main one I play when ever I have the money to risk.
School is important to be honest, but to a certain point or level, degrees are what doesn't matter that much but still it's all about what you want for yourself in life and what you choose to become, I can't say that school is bad for those who strongly want to become Doctors and other.
I learned reading and writing through school, I am also able to know about Bitcoin because I can read too, school thus have it's benefits but I know where you are going with the idea that school isn't that important, still I will want all my children to be educated, whatever they choose to become will be their own choices and not mine.

It depends on which country you hit the jackpot, if it's the America then I can charge the casino to go public because it's like they are trying to use me for advertisement, no way I am going to do that for free even if I win millions of dollars, the last people I can have mercy on in this life is casino owners, they have nothing to lose.
Now If this is happening in my country I won't dare decide to come out in the open, I will prefer to keep it as a secret because if you expose yourself you will see people trying to find you and where you live, and this includes criminals who will forcefully ask for their own share of the win, like it's normal thing to do, and if you are out of luck you will attract the evil ones who would like to take everything from you, by kidnapping you or someone in your family.
So if you are a mega winner first make sure you are in a safe country and protect yourself, or just tell them no and give them your reasons, there is no crime in saying no to them as coming out in the public after you win big amount of money isn't part of the gambling rules.

A stranger come to my telegram yesterday and ask me about a certain project if I have bought it, then I answered yes, he claimed he have done the same very early and he already make up to ten times his money, I congrats him.
We stopped talking, and this morning he named a coin that I should go and buy it early before it pumped, I knew where it's all going but I decided to have some fun, so I did my research using coin gecko and coinmarketcap, I found out that the coin isn't even listed yet, then he decide to drop me a smart contract.
He told me to add the smart contract on uniswap and make purchase, I believe he created the fake token himself and named it the same name as the upcoming project, what a good way to scam strangers who don't know much about crypto, I listened to him this far to know or learn about his scamming trick, right from the beginning I knew he is a scammer.
Strangers seeking attention do more damage to crypto beginners than anything else, do not give your attention to them, set your social media app to receive messages only from friends and family, if you have any question to ask about crypto, create topic about it on this forum.

During the weekend I was listening to an evening programme from one our the local radio stations they were discussing about gambling, the effects and how to manage it if you might be struggling with addiction. And they had listeners calling in to share personal experiences or of a loved one that gambles and amidst many callers there was this very caller story that caught my interest and curiosity.
She told about how the family members of a particular young man that is like a plunger when it comes to gambling, his compulsive gambling is to the length of him selling his personal properties and gadgets to make sure he gambles. So what he family did was to print a photograph of him and giving it to all the gambling shops within their neighborhood and around the locality, threatening that any of the gambling shops they have pasted the photo of their brother should they find their brother allowed to gamble in the shops they will sue the gamble shop owner to court as one that is abetting their brother's compulsive gambling lifestyle.
Now, while I was quietly listening to the story in my head I began to ask myself several possible questions and one of such questions was; is it not possible that this young man can take a cab away from their location and move to a far area to carry out his gambling since his a compulsive gambler.
Just two questions here:
1. Dis the family of this young man went too extreme in trying to help stop their brother from gambling addiction or not?
2. Assuming you are this young man and you had to run to a distant location to carry out your gambling as you are allowed to gambling within your neighborhood and luckily you won huge sum of million dollars. Would you share that money with your loved ones who were barring you from gambling or you will just stay off from them and live new found wealthy live alone?
Share your thoughts!
This story have to be judge by thinking if you have someone like that gambler in your family, because I won't allow such person to make decisions for the family, I am thinking that he is the head of the house that's why he was able to sell properties successfully, I don't see a thing that wrong with what the family did, some people are behaving like they are possessed with gambling, they will get so closed to gambling as if it's a do or die thing. Addiction with gambling has levels, some are top notched, they will even sell their wives and daughters to the brothel for some money to use in gambling, there are different stories like this around the world like those countries where poverty is the biggest problem, these set of people are very hard to control, nothing can work on them not even therapies can solve their addiction to gambling. To me they don't went to far to help this man but it may not work, gambling addiction is something that you must break yourself, when your mind is made up nothing can hinder it again, and when you decide to stop gambling you will succeed, the only way this addiction can be won is if this man is ready to stop gambling himself. |

I see that the positive side of Ordinal NFTs is that they have given us a practical idea of the problems that the Bitcoin network will suffer in the event of global adoption, and this will push the Bitcoin community to search for solutions that must be developed to eliminate this highly likely problem in the future.
The Bitcoin network is still in its infancy, and as global adoption expands in the future, we will certainly face these problems, so it is best to look for solutions to these potential problems now.
Another good aspect is that miners will no longer have to fear for the future of mining due to rewards being halved every four years. They now see that this problem can be solved by increasing transactions on the network.
This makes the miners winner overall, they are the only one enjoying the high transaction fee on Bitcoin network now, at least when there is no more Bitcoin to mine miners won't have to quit their mining farm, they will make money from transactions on the network but for daily usage of Bitcoin it's going to be a problem, I hope a solution will come after or else people will look for alternatives. I believe that Bitcoin is a gold more than a payment solution, I won't be using Bitcoin for any payment from now on, I am used to accepting Bitcoin payment from few numbers of customers but now it's near impossible because they aren't ready to pay that much to send me my money, I might look for other option or just halt Bitcoin payment from now on. Ordinals is why the transaction fee is this high and I watched a video online about why people believe that Ordinals on the Bitcoin network will make miners stay in the mining business but what about people accepting Bitcoin as payment? Using $4 to send Bitcoin is a lot, this $4 in my local currency is enough to buy and sew a cloth. |

Money laundering business is at advantage for those running a casino than people using the casino to gamble, it makes no sense that KYC can reduce money laundering in casinos, if I want to launder money I won't choose a casino because its not mine, out of my total control, anyway, many people have already gave good points about KYC and gambling but what I know is that crime and illegal activities are always off the plain site, they happened where you won't look into, if any casino is going to run any illegal activities they will be registered and legalized, this will make the casino the last place to would suspect of any illicit activities.
People don't know that those who have the power to make rules are the ones capable of criminal activities, and they will operate easily without any suspicions.
Now I do believe that KYC is compulsory for different reasons and I don't have problem with that, but privacy is a big concern online, most people don't want to be tracked that's why they value their privacy, I don't blame them because those centralized power are used to doing such things, I hate banks for this.

I am a discipline and a responsible gambler but tend to quit gambling somedays.
I think I am going to be missing the whole fun of it but if I would find it difficult keeping total off it, I have thought of going around the gambling grounds (gambling tables) with a logical lucrative planning to taking advantage over the gambling tables though am not gonna be a partaker in the gambling anymore.
How do I take advantages over the gambles while I am not gambling anymore?
I tend to invest in the gambling. How?
At my visits in the gambling grounds, I will be lending my funds to the losers who has run out of funds and willing to bet more if they have more money.
I tends to make this a deal with interest charges with concrete agreement to be secured and I will be opened to also accepting collaterals.
I verily know that I will succeed more of the inexperienced and those gamblers who doesn't have gambling budgets including those who can't take control over their gambling emotions
You are confused, you don't know what investment is all about and gambling is very differ from investment, I think you need to do some readings yourself, there is no way to invest in gambling, because it's not an asset or real estate. I don't think that casinos have shares too, like how we can invest on twitter and Facebook, if its possible then you will be investing on a casino company by buying their stock, you need to make a choice as you can't quit gambling and still be able to make money from gambling. It's better to quit if you want and invest in something that will give you passive income every day, this is better as you can see with your eye why you invest your money on, and you will also be able to handle it yourself, stop looking for ways to invest in gambling because you can end up getting scammed. Do your own research on gambling stocks if that's what you are looking for, there are few places online to visit for this, like etoro and saxo, mind you the casinos on these stock investment platforms are located in the US and far distance foreign countries, like Las Vegas Sands Corp or Boyd Gaming, just make sure you do your own research. |
