Agreed, everyone at some point gets directed into winning money. Losing will surely make them unhappy, how rich they're is secondary. With most of the gamblers, the beginning is just for fun. Over time they get active into gambling looking for win. The mind never find satisfied and the winning streak lets the gambler to continue whereas the losing makes the gambler go behind the recovery. In all means it is the same that keeps the gamblers active in the event of trying to win.
Indeed, at first, they just want to have fun, but after they have managed to get several wins, the desire to have fun will change into the desire to win more.
From there, they started to feel greedy to win more money, but they needed to remember that their victory was because of their luck, which came at the right time.
And when they continued playing gambling several times, the wins began to change with losses and would continue with even more losses.
From there, they should be able to judge that their luck has started to leave them, especially if they have started to lose a few dollars of their winnings.
And they should be able to immediately realize and stop gambling because if they continue, they can lose their winnings and all the money in their balance.

I'm curious about your casino site.
I tried to compare all the casino sites on your site and saw that only Stake and FortuneJack had reviews and it said User Reviews.
Does that mean you haven't tried playing gambling on the two sites so you haven't given a rating yet?
Have you tried playing gambling at each casino to find out the difference so you can give your review or the review you got from other review sites?
But I didn't see any of your reviews of the casino and if I check the page of FortuneJack, it only has one person commenting because I also found the same thing on the page of Stake. Is that what the Review meant?

Using bitcoin as a means of payment depends on the situation and conditions.
If you can still use fiat, why should you pay using bitcoin?
Come on, don't make things difficult for yourself. Bitcoin can be an alternative means of payment solutions but if you can still use fiat as usual, it's better for you to save your bitcoins to sell and make a profit.
But it's up to you if you still want to use bitcoins, but I wouldn't want to waste my bitcoins just to pay for bananas Grin
645  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling experience using loan money on: July 28, 2023, 05:07:36 PM
I don't know how I would feel if I borrowed money for gambling but if I were a gambling addict who wanted to keep playing, I probably wouldn't have any feelings except for getting money fast.
I'm not going to think about anything else because with the borrowed money, I can continue playing and I hope it will turn me around to get big wins and recover my previous losses.
And fortunately, I have no experience borrowing money for gambling so I don't feel any pressure while gambling.
After all, I always use my own money to play gambling and of course, with the amount of money I can afford.
646  Economy / Gambling / Re: Without money, does it still qualify as gambling? on: July 27, 2023, 08:41:57 AM
Gambling that does not involve money is just like we are trading on a demo account. Those that know what they are doing will understand that it is totally unnecessary to gamble with money. Money is the backbone on all gambling activities because the money involved will make everyone to come for the money and earn some good profits. When money is not involved or financial materials and object, people are not going to take that seriously because they have nothing to lose at the end of everything. Whether we gamble rarely or often, money is what makes us want to gamble more as a gambler.
But what if the object is not money, meaning that if we guess something and guess it correctly, we get a reward in kind?
That also includes gambling, right? Because there is a prize behind us guessing it. But if we just guess and there are no rewards or prizes, it's not gambling.
For example, we guess who will qualify for the final round with friends and don't tie it with prizes for those who guess it. That's not gambling.
But usually, when they are bored because there is no prize, they immediately change it to have a prize for the winner.
And even though it's not using money but goods, it's still called gambling because there are prizes.

I will pretend I don't know what bitcoins are because he just wants to use bitcoins for illegal acts.
I don't want to get in trouble for teaching him because if he gets caught by the police, he will tell me everything he did, including how he got to know bitcoin.
Drug dealers want to learn bitcoin because they see that using bitcoin will be safer in transactions so that the money will not go into their bank accounts and no one will be suspicious of transactions made on the bitcoin network.
It's better if we don't teach people who want to use bitcoin illegally and let them try to find it on their own so we don't get into trouble with the regulators or the government.
649  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 5 Bitcoins to never gamble again. Will you take it? on: July 26, 2023, 12:18:30 PM
To get 5 BTC but have to stop gambling, I think many people will do it but will they really stop after receiving the 5 BTC or will they still gamble after receiving the 5 BTC?
But it's so tempting to many people that they are willing to stop because if they can keep that 5 BTC long-term, they may make a big profit when the bull run comes.
I think I will also stop gambling and decide to move to a location that does not have a high cost of living so that I can use the 5 BTC well and save or even buy more BTC when the price correction drops deeper.
And I think with those 5 BTC, I can start a new business that can give me profit.
650  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How can a person buy a hardware wallet where crypto is ban? on: July 25, 2023, 03:42:00 PM
Why should you choose a hardware wallet when you can still use the app on your computer or phone?
Do you really need the hardware wallet so are you wondering how to send the hardware wallet to your country?
Rather than complicate yourself with that, you are better off using an application or software as a place to store your crypto.
As long as you don't tell anyone about the crypto you have, you are still safe even if your country bans crypto.
But leaving it with your friends who are on vacation abroad or asking your friends who are abroad to send the hardware wallet to your home address can be a solution.
But I don't know how the process of identifying goods sent from abroad reaches your country and is sent to your home address.
651  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: July 25, 2023, 01:43:58 PM
You could say there's no such thing as a successful gambler if you're ignoring genuine skill based games like poker or people doing things like card counting in blackjack. Almost every other game in a casino is geared to give the casino an advantage, which means it's impossible to make a long term profitable career out of it because simple math means that eventually your luck and bankroll will be handed over to the house. Somebody might get extremely lucky as a one off and be able to walk away up, that's the only time you might be successful otherwise.
I think there are successful professional poker players with playing skills above the average of others so they can win in many poker games.
But the games in the casino will provide the biggest profit for the casino so that even if there are gamblers who can win, their total winnings are still smaller than the casinos.
But I believe there are professional poker players who can earn money from gambling but not as much as gamblers who lose.
But those who become successful gamblers are not addicted to gambling because success means they can have more abilities than most gamblers.
652  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Greed can cause a lost bet, (true or false) on: July 24, 2023, 03:12:36 PM
Greed can cause a gambler to loose what he ought to earn and also loose along what he had already earned and saved, while gambling, we must have the courage to maintain the little we could afford to earn while gambling by reducing the risk involved and increasing the probability for winning than trying to win but ended loosing everything, some bets we made should not be on our emotional control but doing what is right to do at the right time and not being too greedy for a win in other not to accoumulate loss than winning while gambling.
That's very true and there have been many who are greedy in gambling instead of losing a lot of money.
They should be able to learn from other people's experiences that greed will not give anything and instead make them lose.
And if it is gambling, he better overcomes his greed because otherwise, he will only suffer defeat after defeat, which can frustrate him.
We have to manage the money and only gamble with what we can afford and when we have won, don't try to get another win because it will never be easy.
We must try to limit ourselves and know what we can do so we don't cross the line.
653  Economy / Economics / Re: Maximizing Your Money:Smart Investment Methods to Secure Your Financial Future on: July 22, 2023, 06:31:01 AM
Investing in precious metals like gold can provide stability and act as a hedge against inflation, but it may not offer significant wealth growth like other investment options. Some individuals choose to sell gold to invest in assets with potential for appreciation, like property, but liquidity and timing can be factors to consider. Diversifying investments can help achieve a balanced financial strategy tailored to individual goals and risk tolerance.
Right, investment diversification can increase your finances to become bigger, but you must be able to choose the right investment.
The average person still chooses gold as their main investment, and many still do not know or choose Bitcoin as their investment.
If they can have gold and Bitcoin as their main investment, they will be amazed to see that their investment in Bitcoin will increase dramatically in the future compared to gold.
But whatever investment they choose will have risks, and those people should know how to deal with them so they don't become big.
Only then can they feel calm about holding their investment until the time comes when they sell their investment and make a profit.

My friend had experienced a malware attack that changed his bitcoin wallet address to someone else's bitcoin address that a hacker had implanted.
At first, he didn't notice until he transacted and saw that his bitcoin wallet address was different from the one he copied and pasted and then reinstalled the system into a new one.
Scams from HYIP programs always target new people who don't have enough knowledge. I experienced it several years ago when I was new to the world of the internet and crypto.
But my friends also managed to get big returns from HYIP sites because the owner wrote the wrong reward that my friend should get and made my friend immediately withdraw all his balance.
655  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lotteries and possibility vs. probability on: July 18, 2023, 04:27:22 PM
The point is that people can play the lottery with a dollar or so and still have a tiny chance of earnings millions, while to play at a casino they will have to spend more money on their bets, possibly doubling it on each winning, if we go for dice, roulette, crash, mines... It looks easier to profit from traditional casinos games on short run, although we can't say for how long we are going to manage to do this with success, as luck can change at anytime.

Lotteries are still a cheaper activity compared to casinos games, and that is why many people prefer this alternative, since they don't have more money they can afford to lose gambling. I would say it's a responsible decision by them. Moreover, they still have some fun checking lottery's results every week. It's a kind of habit which is part of their weekly routine already.
However studies show that the ones that gamble at the lottery the most is the sector of the population with the least resources, so while for many people a dollar may not seem like much, that same amount is not so easily available for those which earn just the minimum wage or even less on their jobs, and if they do this several times a week then suddenly something that may not seem like a big deal transform into a big problem, as the chances they will ever see a return on the money they spend at the lottery is minimal.
And when a dollar doesn't seem like a lot, they can spend it on lottery tickets because they can get multiple lottery tickets with that one dollar.
By doing it again the next day or the next week, they still hope to become a lottery winner one day, even though they don't know when they will win.
But they still buy the lottery ticket and some have even bought it years ago because it was in the local news that the winner did it a long time ago.
We see how much they hoped to win and weeded out the thousands of lottery buyers who had the same hope to win.
And they know that to become a lottery winner, it takes one stroke of luck and boom, they will become millionaires or even billionaires.
656  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Wagering requirements for withdraw on: July 18, 2023, 01:57:49 PM
Almost most casinos here in cryptocurrency have wager requirements, and once you deposit you have to play and you can't because you can't withdraw the money you put in. Because they do have a minimum wagering, and they differ in the amount because just like betfury at least you must accumulate 100$ total in your betting on the game whether you lose or win and when you achieve that and then you can withdraw, same in Bitcasino I just don't know how much amount they need for the wager and other gambling that I won't mention it.
Indeed, it has become a rule in all casinos, and maybe it's only one casino that I know that they don't have a wagering requirement rule, but I don't know if that still applies because they have experienced several changes to the rules on the gambling site, but what's interesting is that there are casinos that don't applying 1x and so on in the wager requirements but mentioning the amount of money that must be wagered before being able to make a withdrawal, the amount of $ 100 is very small for high rollers because they are used to making large deposits and with these rules there are certainly no obstacles for them to make withdrawals even though they will it is strange if there are players who make deposits with large amounts of money but only use a small portion to play and after that make withdrawals, small players will also benefit if they can get big wins and reaching $ 100 will be easy so withdrawals can be made immediately.
There is no problem meeting the betting requirements for high roller bettors because they are used to using big money to gamble, but small roller bettors shouldn't take too big a risk because it's not worth it.
Wagering requirements exist in many casinos but it seems there are still casinos that do not enforce wagering requirements and if we can get one, that would be great news for us.
If small bettors want to try participating in a contest or promotion, they must pay attention to the existing wagering requirements so they can follow them and don't find it difficult.
If they can reach or pass the wagering requirements, they will have no problem withdrawing their winnings.
657  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling effects on LGBTQ+ People on: July 17, 2023, 01:03:29 PM
I feel that this research has some truth to it because by playing online gambling, people who want to hide their identity or gender can play gambling safely without anyone knowing about it.
But I don't know if people in the casino, staff or the public have shown any discriminatory behavior towards these people because I don't visit physical casinos anymore.
But if these people play in online casinos, they will be safe and can play gambling without disturbance.
And that's not only for LGBTQ+ people but also for people who don't want to show their gambling activities to the public and feel that playing online gambling is the best for them.
658  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: People Are Not Nerdy Enough on: July 17, 2023, 07:50:21 AM
Don't get frustrated by situations that don't go how you want.
Maybe this is because people still enjoy bitcoin for what it is and are still looking to profit from trading and have not yet started using bitcoin for a virtual commodity or as you would say.
Using bitcoin is the desire of each person and we cannot force them to follow what we suggest because people are still comfortable with what they are still doing today.
When it's time, people will start studying bitcoin in detail and even though it's a bit late to own bitcoin because the price is already very high, it's also okay because using bitcoin is everyone's choice.
659  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is more important for crypto users? on: July 16, 2023, 02:02:52 PM
When the OP doesn't have the knowledge to spend his money then why start with gambling? this is indeed quite strange to me, it means that OP has absolutely no capacity to manage finances. You can imagine going into the world of gambling, maybe in a short time OP will easily lose a lot, can't
control the stakes and end up in ruin.

There are some people who think that making money through crypto is very easy and one way to do it is by gambling.
Then there are some people who think that trading cryptocurrencies is a good and convenient way to make money

What both groups of people do not realize is that making money through gambling and trading is highly risky. In fact I would say that making money through them is highly difficult. Yes, the returns are good but why do we forget the risk we put in, to get those returns  Huh
They think like that because they see videos of other people who can easily get a lot of money from gambling, so they try it.
They don't think so much about the meddling of luck coming to the person in the video that they think they can do it too.
And in the case of @OP, he doesn't need to learn how to gamble, especially if he has no intention of having fun at gambling and looks like he's still confused about what he wants to do.
He should learn about a trade where he has the potential to make a profit than from gambling, where he can only lose a lot.
Gambling has the risk of losing money, so he should find another way to make money.
660  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. on: July 16, 2023, 12:50:05 PM
Like I said in one of my previous comment, not sure if it's one this thread, but I did say that gambling addiction is of many stages, the stage at which the gamblers addiction is, will very much determine or play the role of how easy or hard it can be to quit gambling and free one self from that addiction..

Quiting gambling after being tormented by addiction all start by strong self will to stop, then the level of stage of addiction will tell if strong self will is able to carry the gambler and keep him or her away from gambling, or will require the help of a relation or relative, or maybe a professional medical personnel for a medical help.

Can you attach any articles I can read about addiction consisting of many stages?

So, whatever the gambling problem is, no matter how deeply a gambler loses and becomes a problem gambler who is addicted, the solution is still same, there's no difference.
Maybe you can read this article:

Code:
https://americanaddictioncenters.org/the-addiction-cycle

There explained the stages of addiction but I do not know which article is meant.
I know that addiction has signs, stages, phases or whatever it's called, and if we are already in a certain sign/stage/phase, we may already be addicted.
And I agree with you that the solution will remain the same: to try to realize the gambling addiction, have a strong desire to change, and so on.
Without having it all, it will be difficult for someone to cure his gambling addiction.
