I don't particularly employ such strat as this keeps the fun out of gambling (I bet a lot of money in one go, it gives me a greater rush of excitement and nervousness compared to betting in small amounts), but I actually employ strategies that minimize the amount of money that I lose. And I keep saying this but I saw this in this forum as well, wherein they stop betting and gambling after 3 losses, and 3 wins. Either way, you're making sure that your wins are secured and they are not getting anywhere, meaning you have more money to keep for your self at the end of the day, or if in any case you're in a losing streak this day, your losses are minimized as much as possible. You might wanna look into trying this strat as well, it doesn't hurt anyway.

Nope. For me, the only way you'd make consistent money in this industry is if you took the role of the house and set your own casino for that matter, or if you choose to go pro and become really good at one particular game. Either way, you'd never be making money out of this industry as consistently that you could replace a regular full-time employment with gambling, and frankly speaking, it's even stupid that you'd think you could do it. It's good and all to aspire and dream of having a comfortable way to create profit, but you gotta be grounded sometimes as well. You know that a major percentage of people in the gambling industry couldn't even turn a profit if their life depended on it, and here we are talking about the possibility of making bank with gambling.

Gambling is not bad after all but addiction is, gambling has been receiving a lot of negative reactions and feedback but gambling also has a lot of health benefits associated with it but you can only get these benefits if you are a responsible gambler and you have total control of what you wage and limit your bankroll These are some of the benefits to see more of its benefits you can read the whole article here Can you add more besides what's written in this article? Surprising Health Benefits of GamblingScreenshots from: finehomesandliving.com It's good and all, but are these benefits you're listing exclusive only to gambling? If so, then what does gambling do that sets it apart from other ways for you to de-stress, other than it outright asks for your money with no guarantee of return? It's fine and dandy to actually find a way to put gambling on a new light. This industry's had its fair share of flak and hate over the years after all, but it just feels a little pretentious if not dubious to actually list stuff like these when we have gambling addicts who are already stressing about how they'd make ends meet and earn their money back. Perhaps let's just dial down and actually just stay in our lane regardless of the hate or whatever. If you're sending this not to dispel hate though, then what is the reason? |

It became a common joke here in the Philippines after online cockfighting became a massive thing. Lots of guys here who had nothing to do with their money finally found a way to waste it and there went the selling of properties which included houses, motorcycles, cars, and other type of stuff so they can fund their behavior, or fund their lifestyles after wasting all their money into gambling. Hell, I even heard of rumors about highly-influential people in the country actually losing hairs and huge wads of cash over this stupid game. And lately, the tragic loss (they literally vanished out of existence without a trace, and it's still an ongoing investigation in our country as of now) of some big-time cockfighters in the Philippines, possibly at the hands of the crime syndicates in my country.
Reflection of the current situation when it comes to gambling addiction yes, but I instead focus on the humor aspect of it. It’s funny after all lol.

I do.
You see, people like these are what I call "statistical anomalies". Most of the time, people will lose in sportsbet and would eventually lose all the bankroll that they have, no matter how good they are (unless they save their winnings and not touch them at all for a good amount of time but whatever), and then we have people who out of nowhere, gets their big break. It's just the same as the lottery basically, only that you have a greater chance at winning in sportsbets compared to lotto, anywho, I meant to convey that you shouldn't expect money coming your way when you sportsbet, it's great to wish to have the prize for yourself, but at the same time, you can't really guarantee profit in the gambling industry, so save yourself from the heartbreak, and actually just look for a regular job instead of wishing you'd get something from sports bet, or any form of gambling for that matter.

Cause at the end of the day, you gamble for the sake of having fun. So why not gamble while at the same time, having fun by watching your favorite team duke it out in the big league? That's pretty much the biggest reason why people bet on sports like basketball and football. We also have the superfans who analyzed the team's game from day 1, and are able to check on whether they'd be winning or not against other specific teams. They see this as a major advantage, and so they use and abuse this as a means to create money. Often than not these people find out that there's more to sportsbetting than analysis, although we do have a couple who have been very consistent when it comes to their winnings.

I can see the benefit of using AI in betting in the coming years, they are purely logical after all and provided that they work purely under code, they'd have no bias as well. But in the current setting? I doubt it. You can even rely upon AI to answer complex mathematical equations cause 9 times out of ten they'd fuck the answers up. AI's going to be the future for sure, but the present? Not so much. If you're looking to find a reliable way for you to win consistently in betting, look elsewhere until we actually get an AI model that's specifically created for this purpose. Cause if you go about asking ChatGPT which team's gonna win in the future, you'd get no useful information from it, and you'd ultimately just be wasting your time and your money.

Pro gamblers are able to, then again there's a reason why they are called professionals in the first place. I think the common misconception among gamblers is that they could easily make a living out of gambling, since it doesn't require anything on their part anyway but to just set up capital (the money they'd use to place bets or gamble with) which is severely wrong. Gambling won't guarantee you profit unless you're the house, and if you even happened to be on a casino that's been known to fuck with their users, then you're in for a world of hurt.
It's best to just take gambling at face value and see it as nothing but a way for regular people like us to entertain ourselves, when normal things just won't do. Don't overcomplicate things and assume that just cause you know the game, you could win it reliably.

There's no such thing as luck, only probability. and the concept of gambling being only for the rich is a little flawed, since at its core, gambling is nothing more than a fun way for you to pass the time and perhaps earn something in the process. The only reason why it's so hard for the poor to actually get something out of their gambling journey is because they don't know how to manage their expenses, and how to gamble responsibly. I've played and been with friends and people who are earning less than I do, but are still able to squeeze in an occasional gambling session without losing money in the process, all thanks to a smart management of funds and budgeting.
Although I understand where you're coming from and frankly speaking, if this is going to deter people who have not managed their finances and their money from touching gambling and eventually ruining their lives, then might as well.

I would agree with what he's saying. But the thing is that most gambling addicts are well aware of the chances of them winning from the get-go. The real reason why people are falling off of the deep-end in gambling is primarily the lack of discipline. It's like you know you're gonna get paid anyway the next 2 weeks so you can go a little overboard on the budget as a treat to yourself, and then it snowballs into taking out loans on credit cards and your bank, then to your friends, and then eventually to even shadier situations and people.
I reiterate, I don't think the common gambler's stupid. They have a basic grasp of the odds of them winning. It's the thought that somehow they'd win in their sessions so they should just keep going that's causing them to become addicted to gambling in the process.

Sunk cost fallacy is at play here I suppose. The fallacy that makes you think that there's no other move for you but forward/to keep with what you're doing now since you've already invested so much time, effort, and money onto something that caused you turmoil. People often fall for this trap since we're a little masochist every one of us. This guy's no different. He feels like there's nothing for him if he stops gambling and he's already neck deep in debt and losses, so might as well just let himself drown in it and hopefully die peacefully before the consequences of his actions catch up to him. Or perhaps he's so deluded by sunk cost fallacy that he's thinking somewhere along the way he's going to get his big break and would be able to finally get the win he deserves. Either way this makes him think that the only logical way is to keep going even though stopping is going to be more beneficial to him in the long run.

I was surfing on the Instagram and found this:  (source: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CyzDDHfOU0c/?igshid=ZDE1MWVjZGVmZQ==) I understand that this is fake and was made for a joke. But some people dont know what jokes should be ended or are inappropriate... However, since some casinos have "special" section in sports betting (why this is in sports betting anyway?), and allow to place bets on election outcome, or on Oscar winner, or on music event like Eurovision, I would not be much surprised that in 5 or 10 years we would really have such absurd betting options. And most important what scares me, that casinos will hide behind "there is a demand on such betting" and there really be people who will find this demanding. Welp. You underestimate the lengths at which most people would go to receive their 5 minutes of internet fame. and this is no different. No matter how sensitive a topic is, as long as it's going to cause uproar in the internet and they'd get clicks for it they'd do it. Just take American School Shootings for example. This is a massive cultural problem that's caused more deaths than what America knows what to do with, and yet we see this being humored and sometimes even glorified in social media. What I would suggest people do is just avoid giving these people the time of day. Whether you react in accordance or you show your dismay through commenting or angry-reacting their posts, that would count as an impression to them and at the end of the day, you're just going to feed their inflated sense of ego. |

I don't burden myself with stuff like these but if I were to be asked, the safest answer I could give is at least after 100 games, spread out equally in at least 3 months of play.
For me, it's just the right amount of games for someone to find out what their baseline win-to-lose ratio is, as well as to determine what type of betting technique works best for them if anything. And it's just the right amount of games that I think would put you in the "devoted gamblers" bracket without really setting off alarms for gambling addiction or anything.
Honestly speaking, burdening yourself with finding out what your win rate is will just cause you to look for ways to amp it up even more, which might cause you to even become addicted to gambling when you're following a strict gambling regiment. So as much as possible, just gamble for gambling and entertainment's sake, be technical yes, but don't worry about trivial details like these.

Payment flexibility in jobs is something that to me is not further taken care of by employers, cause compared to better wages and more serious problems it's something that would get overshadowed most of the time, but goddamn is it so sucky sometimes when you get your payments delayed cause the banks are closed and all that stuff. It seriously fucks with your budget especially if you're someone who's working for a company that pays just enough for you to get by.
Props to you OP for actually standing up and asking for more from your employer, I'm guessing this is because you've been with them for a while now cause I doubt that they'd do this if you're just a newbie or someone on probation. But whatevs, hope this awesome streak keeps up.

That is the work of a payment processor. If bitcoin price is not stable, you can use payment processor which can automatically convert the bitcoin to fiat for you. If bitcoin is legal in a country and the country's government support bitcoin payment, it will be an additional option for tuition fee payment. List of Universities That Allow You to Pay Your Tuition Fees With BitcoinHow about El Salvador and Democratic republic of Congo that make bitcoin legal tenders. You will be able to use bitcoin to pay for anything in those countries. They're already in shambles already. El Salvador in particular. Saw news and a few posts here talking about how everyone in the country practically hates the new monetary system that was imposed upon them overnight. Businesses and regular joes holding protests to retort the change and all that stuff, so El Salvador's probably not the best country to use as an example here. Although as for payment processors, local crypto wallets could do the same trick for you. The Philippines got Coins.Ph and recently, Gcash, that both offer fiat and crypto payments simultaneously, while the government of your country's haven't made their mind up yet, perhaps look into using local crypto wallets first as they oftentimes do the trick albeit with more effort on your part. |

Here's the thing, no bullshit, no media sensationalization: 1. No particular superstorm that's bound to hit the planet, and if there would be we wouldn't be able to detect it right away to create a real action plan that would prevent further damage to our electronics and all that stuff. We're pretty much fucked if it does come. 2. The sun does this in a regular 12-year cycle, it goes a little dormant every 10-11 years, and afterwards enter an active phase where most "solar superstorms" happen. What's being broadcasted right now is the fact that the parker solar probe's already detecting some heightened readings on the sun's surface, meaning that the 12 year cycle is coming up. 3. There's conflicting information as to whether this would affect us short-term (meaning days-weeks) to long term (months to years) but if it does hit the planet, and it rarely does, with the most recent documented one being in the 1800s, (the 2012 one they're talking about is a near-miss) we're going to be fucked as every piece of tech would be fried useless. Ok here's my conclusion after going through every reply that has been made so far. We have adapted to something new in order to face this kind of situation. Fiber cable instead of copper wire. That should prevent a huge impact and should keep it to a minimum if this ever happens. So let's discuss the worst-case scenario. Just imagine for a second that it is happening and maybe it will not last for several months as I mentioned in the OP. But does every country in the world have the technology to reboot the system in a few days? Bitcoin blockchain is operated throughout the world. There will be many places that won't have access to the internet or electricity for many days.
How will it affect the others who will get access to the internet and also to Bitcoin first? Also, not being able to use Bitcoin because of this could lead people to think that it is not the best thing to use. Will this fade away like what happens to most of the FUDs or it will continue to impact Bitcoin in the future as well? Also, those who will not have access to it while others will have, won't they lose hope in Bitcoin? Because the price could fall drastically if people who get access to it first start to sell?
What of the electronics? Everything else that uses electricity? They are susceptible to damage as well. |

I can see crypto and modernization actually doing these countries a massive service if they really push for it and no roadblocks from the government and the public is to arrive. Take for example Bhutan. Which is a mountainous country from the same region. They literally shouldn't have any business being this rich and despite that, they are the only carbon-negative country on the planet that I know of, and to top it all off, they are one of the fastest progressive countries in South Asia, thanks to their modernization program in 2005 that literally jumpstarted the country's economy. and they are also dabbling in crypto and bitcoin, they've got a couple mining rigs in there that do not take up too much of the country's resources.
So of course, should these countries be determined to actually do something about their economy, bitcoin and crypto could provide a solution. but this only works if they are really in it, and if they have the counter-agents to actually solve the climate issue.

As you've read the thread title, I'll continue the explanation here, as it cannot accommodate additional text. I've come across numerous topics and posts where gamblers express disbelief in the idea of consistently making profit through gambling. It makes me question whether these individuals are truly involved in gambling or if they're posting without the real experiences and knowledge. Personally, I firmly believe that there are people who have achieved real success in gambling. What perplexes me is why many discourage gambling as a means of making money. Instead of outright saying no, they could guide gamblers with the right strategies on how to stay disciplined, enhance skills, minimize the risk of bankruptcy, and increase the chances of winning.
If you're someone who doesn't believe anyone can be profitable in gambling, you might as well consider yourself not welcome in this thread. I'm looking for people who maintain optimism about their chances in gambling so they can share valuable insights.
Now, let's hear your opinion. In 3...2...1... go!
The thing is, the people who consistently make money out of gambling do not make gambling their whole personality and life. The problem is that when it comes ot gambling, money shouldn't be the main purpose of your play. When you make everything revolve around you winning, earning money and prizes, you'd be utterly disappointed and this is where revenge gambling, and eventually gambling addiction will play its role. To consistently earn money in gambling you also have to have the discipline to know when to stop and when to keep going. Most gamblers wouldn't know or understand this concept since they're blinded by the "easy money" premise that most casinos and gambling games promote. Rid yourself of that bias and you'd see that there's more to this. |

I have played with some casinos in the past that I come across from sponsorships and advertisements. Thing about this is that it's quite hard for the regular joe to just discern from the get-go whether a site's reputable or not. As in my case where I didn't know there were issues with the site that I played with. Fortunately enough I was able to cash my money out but there had been cases reported by their previous users where they don't release the withdrawals and sometimes even ban users so they can't get into their account and withdraw their money, especially after a big win.
I think there's nothing wrong with getting attracted by ads and actually playing with a casino you saw from advertisements, but you have to pair it up with proper research and wariness since most of these sites are not trustworthy to say the least.

This is just mad mad lol. I'm a writer myself and it sucks that not only are we sidelined since our work's "not that important anyway in the business setting", we're also oftentimes victims of scams like these. Got scammed a year ago as well when I was told that I would be paid 30 bucks per quick read that I would make, I made 100 thinking I'd get paid handsomely until they just vanished from thin air.
One thing that I would really recommend you do, is give them an update that you're finished with the work you're tasked, send a screenshot for reference but do not by all means send them any links or whatsoever that would lead them to your works. Long as they are holding you onto something, they're not going to let go of the process. If I had been a little smart back then I would've done the same but oh well. Good luck my friend.
