To me, if someone addicted to gambling is willing to go for sharkloans in order to make their habit to last a little bit more, I would sadly call that person to be a late stage addicted person; there are few things which are worse than taking those loans (like stealing or murder for money); since I am well aware that those sharkloans usually have a pretty close relation with crime syndicates which won't doubt a single second on killing debtors, if that means to give out a message to others who may consider to try to fool them and run away with a handful of bills.

If someone gets to that extreme, then it would be fair to assume that person already sold or lost (got seized) most of their material possessions. Incredibly sad.

The living environment is also one of the reasons why it is difficult for someone to stop their habit. Disabling gambling site advertisements in your browser settings is not effective if you still hang out with friends who often gamble. As long as you hang out with people who are gambling, this habit is very difficult to stop, especially if you have money to gamble with. The desire to continue playing cannot be buried all at once, it needs to be done gradually by reducing capital for gambling.
Consider the most important needs of life, such as food needs, electricity costs, water and other unexpected needs. Gambling habits can be reduced by reducing capital for gambling, if done consistently, over time it will be successful, although it is not a 100% guarantee, at least 80% will be successful in achieving the determination to stop.

It's obviously a superstition that a lot of people have. They believe that they will lose a certain bet if they share it with someone else who is unlucky, and when they don't share their bets, they manage to win. It might have happened once or twice in their life coincidentally and now they think that it is actually something. Some people have utterly foolish superstitions about gambling and you start getting annoyed when you see or hear about them.

A lot of people believe that they win in gambling during a certain hour within the day and they also believe that this certain hour works better on a specific day within the week, and I find that stupid because your luck doesn't have a time and gambling is completely based on one's luck.

To be honest I didn't have a clue that fight was on the UFC296 card. Yup, definitely looks like they're trying to revive Paddy after he fell from fans' favour. His last performance was disappointing and his attack on Ariel Helwani created an impression that he sucks up to Dana White big time, which is never a good look.
Image-wise, it seems like Paddy can't decide whether he wants to be a good guy or a bad guy, which can be irritating to many.
As for Tony, he refused to acknowledge that it's time to retire and he'll approach that fight with something to prove, which will make him a dangerous opponent.
As both of them had a dip in the form, it'll be interesting to see who comes at the top. I like this match up.

Why would they? Many people make it their dream in life to borrow as much money as possible without having to pay it back and face any consequences, which is effectively what these countries are doing. They are walking the tightrope act of borrowing money while still being able to pay interest payments on those demands, which effectively allows them to get much richer and if they were to use that borrowed money effectively it could be extremely advantageous to them (but they rarely do). Take Greece for example, a lot of credit was extended to them but they are a fairly small economy that is largely dependent on tourism, most of the populace live a relatively easy life and aim to keep it that way, which is part of what caused the Eurozone crisis a while back when they were inclined to default on that debt and undermine the Euro in return.

Historically many American cryptographers worked for the NSA, of course they are not going to disclose it. Maybe a group of them did create Bitcoin. Does it matter? Not in the least, because its Free Open Source Software. The NSA made SELinux in a hope to better secure assets from other agencies, and yet anyone can benefit from that project.

Replacing the US Dollar may be harder to justify for a State entity, but its true that people working there have the passion for it. I wouldn't be surprised, nor care if it was a direct project, or indirect project. Didn't we have Tor from the US Navy? Who else used Tor?, yeah, Satoshi connecting to this forum of his... Same story, FOSS use it if it benefits, check the code if you are paranoid of backdoors.

TL;DR: Who cares. Good for them if they did.

Going into the latest event in the UFC, I really like Mateusz Gamrot for he is much better rounded than Rafael Fiziev in my opinion sure Rafael Fiziev is much younger than Mateusz Gamrot, but Gamrot is more technical and has great wrestling but if Fiziev has proven that he got great takedown defense he will likely get a chance for this fight but for sure Mateusz Gamrot has a lot of arsenal in getting this fight done,


Just like you, I am very into Mateusz Gamrot for sure he will be very dominant in this fight because of his many arsenals that could take out Fiziev I think he can eventually get this win, I am pretty much hyped for Gamrot on this one, as Gamrot had a hard time against Justin Gaethje because Gaethje was technical in all approached that he makes against Rafael Fiziev,

Children are innocent souls who tend to imitate their parents. They have a curious mind, the main reason they ask questions all the time. If your child sees you gambling or anything illegal for her age accidentally, they won't ask any questions. If that is not the case then what happened to you would happen to every parent. What you did was the right thing to answer her question and inform her about the legal age. In the future when she reaches her legal age she can make the decision.

My recommendation to you is to stop gambling when she is around in the house. Since it is her growing years it is better to indulge with her in other activities when she is in the house. It would create an impression that her father is no longer active in gambling or has stopped gambling. It will help her to concentrate on her studies and daily activities rather than thinking about it.  

Well, if that's the case, it's best for women not to go too often to offline casinos and prefer to gamble at online casinos because they get a guarantee of security. This means they don't have to meet drunk men who lose at gambling and who can abuse women at will. And if I am a woman, I also don't want to be in such a situation and prefer not to visit offline casinos.

But I'm sure that in the bigger casinos, the casinos wouldn't tolerate men getting drunk and not being able to control themselves. The drunken men must have been told to leave the casino because they would disturb the other gamblers. Casinos will do something about people who want to cause riots on their business premises. So if the casino is comfortable, women will still want to visit it to gamble or relax while watching people gamble.

Inoue does not intend to stay in the bantamweight division for long. So, if he wins this fight, he might just consider a few title defenses. I think one year is already enough to accommodate at least two challengers before he moves up. In fact, I still believe that once he moves up, he will remain the most feared opponent. Great job to Inoue for taking things slowly but consistently. He knows how to make his future plans work, and there's nothing to worry about.

Could this fight turn out like Fury vs. Wilder? On paper, Joyce is the superior boxer, but the outcome of the first fight has added an element of unpredictability. With the odds now even, bettors who believe in Joyce's comeback have a good opportunity. A knockout is quite likely, which should also make the odds more enticing.
