761  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do not gamble with Loan Money~otherwise you will be in danger like me on: November 29, 2023, 12:09:02 PM
I have always advised people not to take gambling seriously but I myself became heavily addicted to live blackjack from stake.com and kept winning and losing. In this case I will not blame the gambling site because they give live cards. I started the game with just $20 but gradually I got addicted to it and wanted to gamble and win bigger amounts by depositing bigger amounts. I lost $1700 playing this way then I decided to play with a much bigger amount and recover all the losses then quit gambling for this I borrowed 270000 BDT ($2180) from the bank and deposited there. But unfortunately I lost them. Now I am financially so weak that it has become very difficult to meet my family expenses and I owe the bank $2180 which will take me a long time to pay off. Now it will take about 2 years for my financial situation to be normal again. Gambling addiction set back my normal life by 2 years. I am a victim of real experience and I am sharing my real experience with you.  Don't make the same mistake I did.  And never decide to gamble with a loan. If you do, your situation may be similar to mine. so beware of gambling

If you are in Nigerian, I believe you will not take such amount of loan because you just took roughly more than ₦2M in Naira currency and that's a lot that can even start a business instead of gambling. In short, having such amount of money ending in gambling is more like a foolish step because I don't understand why you will use such an amount but perhaps your currency is high value but even with that, $2k dolls will go a long way to help in doing much in ones life.

There is no point in regrets but I hope.you have learned your lessons, it's either you stop gambling and look for a way to pay back the loan and continue to look for good alternative to earn money, and make sure that you keep yourself busy everytime, so that next time you don't take loan to finance gambling, that's a wrong financial mistake you just did and your learn the hard way, but it's not the end of the world.
When a gambler is new to gambling, he can't really make the right decision, it works in his head that he might win if he bets, or if he spins the casino, he might get the jackpot. With such a fresh idea, he plans to gamble with the loan. When he takes out a loan, he works in his mind that he will pay off the loan by winning two or one gamble, and with the winnings he has, he will gamble more and make more money. Thinking like this, when he decides to gamble with the loan, the results go against him, he gets a real experience of gambling and faces various problems of not being able to pay back the loan amount on time. Maximum new members make this mistake so new members be careful. Gambling is a game of highest risk so gamble with your own money rather than taking a loan here but be careful.
762  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why the rich win gambling more than the poor. on: November 29, 2023, 11:35:49 AM

Rich people can afford to gamble so they have chances of making more bets so they have the probability of winning more too but is such bullshit logic though cause money making skills, in general, has no effect in the results of a bet so thinking that rich people only make money in gambling shows such a delusional mindset of you.
Everyone calculates profit and loss, it is a misconception that a rich person would want to pay losses because he has enough money. If a rich person is a millionaire, he dreams of becoming a billionaire. Being a billionaire, if he loses money by gambling one after another, he will not become a billionaire, but his money will only decrease. It is true that gambling depends on gambling skill and not money on stakes. Money may provide support later but gambling cannot win. You may be poor but if you know enough about gambling and if your luck helps you then you can go from poor to financially well off. Gambling is a game of luck as well as a game of skill about gambling and this luck can come to anyone.
763  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling are mainly for rich and lucky mind. on: November 29, 2023, 07:19:07 AM
I want to add one more thing to you that gambling is for a rich person and a lucky person with a good gambling skill. You have financial strength as well as you are lucky but you have no idea about gambling or you are not skilled enough about gambling but you cannot win gambling depending on luck alone. Gambling is okay for the rich because if the rich gamble and lose, they can easily invest more money to recover that loss, but a poor person cannot. A poor person is usually told to stay away from gambling as it is not possible to manage money again after gambling and losing. But if a poor person has enough knowledge about gambling as well as if he is lucky then he can also make a profit by gambling.
Knowledge is definitely what makes differences from the average gambler and the top ones, often I ask myself why? Because gambling are for those that can stand in position to wager and not have desperation for more money because they don't lack anything. But for the struggling individuals in finances, they will improve, everything do take time, step by step, exactly what i mean. Gambling is very focused to be on the rich, they're financially stable and losing money will not cost them anything, other than usual anger which is triggered by losing results in gambling.
If we think that rich people don't care if they lose money gambling then I'd say we're wrong. Poor people also earn money and rich people earn money, the road to money income is never easy. Just as a poor person has to earn money through hard work, a rich person has to earn money through hard work, so no matter how rich a person is, he never wants his money to be lost. Everyone wants to earn money by using money, everyone has a plan to earn money, no one wants to lose money. A rich person may manage his money and gamble again after losing money by gambling, but in the second step when he decides to gamble, he definitely wants to win and recover the money he lost. Gambling is a combination of luck and skill so anyone rich or poor can lose money.
764  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tips on staying responsible. on: November 29, 2023, 06:44:19 AM
Let's discuss the unique challenges of responsible gambling in the world of cryptocurrencies.

Crypto gambling can be fun, but it's important to keep our financial boundaries intact.

Share your tips and thoughts on staying responsible in this digital realm.
Being responsible is very important for every gambler. A responsible person thinks twice before making a decision and checks several times to see if his decision is correct. If we want to be a responsible person when it comes to gambling, we must act like a responsible person and have the appearance of a responsible person. First of all we should not get addicted to gambling and try to gamble with certain amount of money according to the rules. If you gambled and won the first round, then you rush to play the second round and set too much money for the second round, then you are definitely not a responsible person because a responsible person would never do such a thing. We have to learn to control our emotions and anger, by controlling these things, when we can manage our activities, we can claim ourselves as a responsible human being.
765  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin vs Altcoins on: November 29, 2023, 06:06:11 AM
I don't really want to compare bitcoin and altcoin because they are not comparable coins. Bitcoin is a reliable and trustworthy investment platform but other coins in the market are never so reliable and secure platform. Since Bitcoin came into the market till now it has survived well and with a lot of popularity in the market but during this period many altcoins came in the market and disappeared from the market so there is really nothing to compare Bitcoin with altcoin. I am not saying that all altcoin coins in the market are bad but most of them have the potential to be scams which is why I always put bitcoin as my first choice for investing. Some altcoins can be accommodated in the portfolio but in small amounts.
766  Economy / Economics / Re: Insurance is important on: November 29, 2023, 05:13:36 AM
This depends on where you live. What will be the point of doing insurance if the chance of getting compensation is low? I am talking about the situation in my country where almost more than 45% of insurance claims are rejected and the customer has to go through a long procedure in court to get their money. The corrupt system is not ideal for any institutional entity because the lack of implication of law and order makes it difficult for general people to get the benefits of an institution.
Insurances are mainly company based. So besides getting benefits from them, there are many risks because many unscrupulous traders can use them to create fraud nets.  So for this you need to be alert yourself and warn others and before taking the insurance, do a good research on the insurance whether it is approved by the government or not. And if it is approved by the government, then if it is fraudulent, will the government or the central bank take responsibility for it or not?  After researching everything, decide which insurance company you should insure with
Actually not all people in the world are honest or not all people come to do business with honest intentions. If everyone takes a look at the news about the insurance companies of their respective countries, then you will surely know how much the insurance companies have cheated in your country. You will know about good insurance companies as opposed to insurance companies scams. There are pros and cons to everything, just as you can find good insurance companies, you can find bad insurance companies, but I think there are more bad insurance companies than good insurance companies these days. Due to the large number of comparatively bad insurance companies, we must insure carefully and know well about the company we are going to insure with. Knowing well about the company, if we get the confidence to insure the company, then we can insure the insurance company by considering the category.
767  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: November 29, 2023, 04:41:22 AM
You should not send all your money to buy Bitcoin, you need to start with a comfortable amount so that it does not create any inconvenience for you. And even if you wanted to increase the amount you set aside for a purchase, this should not be the last one you have, you should think about the fact that for some reason your investments may become inaccessible to you. What will you do in this case?

Make sure that you always have savings that you can use if necessary, I prefer it to be cash that you will always have access to. Even if you always have access to your investments, this money will be useful to you if some kind of collapse occurs in the market, you will be able to buy more if you want.

Invest only that you can afford easily. Don't made yourself uneasy with your investment capital and go for things like borrowing money. Investment must be for larger duration and you can afford that only if you make things easy for your self. You can reduce or increase investing money based on your income.
I do agree that we must have two type of savings one is for bitcoin that is for long term and second one is for daily life necessities. For second one you can  spare cash or invest in things like buying a health insurance for the family and more. Saving money won't be of any use but investing them for a long duration will definitely increase them.
I only believe in investing in Bitcoin, if I have a Bitcoin investment I don't feel the need to insure it because the longer I hold the Bitcoin investment the more likely it is that I will get a much higher return than I would by holding the money in insurance. I don't really think anything else by investing in Bitcoin because investing in Bitcoin and its long time hold definitely gives an investor everything. While I don't agree with you about having to insure, your point that we can increase our investment if we want to is 100% true. As we hold our investments for a long time, we should think that our investment amount never decreases but that we can increase the amount of investment. 

Investing in Bitcoin is a reliable investment platform so we don't have to worry by investing in this platform. Investing is easy but investment is hard to hold but those who invest in Bitcoin can hold it for long time through hundreds of challenges but they will have the last laugh. Those who have investments must hold your investment and those who are thinking of investing afresh, decide to invest now and plan to hold that investment for a long time.
768  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Authorities Are Not Smart Enough to Do This on: November 29, 2023, 04:05:22 AM
Even if your country's government bans the use of Bitcoin, I don't think people from African countries will stop using Bitcoin. There are many countries in the world where Bitcoin is banned outright but still people are using Bitcoin in different ways. Nigeria countries are generally much poorer than other countries and most of the people there do not eat, if the citizens can live well by using Bitcoin then why would the Nigerian government ban it. Your ban is appropriate when you can employ the unemployed and when the people of your country are financially well off. You cannot create employment for people through the government of the country but if people do something on their own, you are obstructing it, it is not called proper governance of the country.
769  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling all about luck? on: November 29, 2023, 03:26:34 AM
In my opinion making cash from gambling is not a good option and the statistical probability that you will win every game at every casino is very low. I think winning or losing every game is completely in your head, so your individual tricks are not there. However, we all have some kind of luck so we should strive for what is possible for us.

The probability of you winning every is almost zero. Even if we take poker, a game that is not based on luck but mostly on skill, the top players like Daniel Negreanu can't guarantee winning every game. However, if we are talking about winning any game, the situation is entirely different. Especially with totally luck-based games. Anyone can win in them. It shouldn't be in your head whether you'll win or lose the next spin in dice because you can't affect the result in any way.
I think the spin we do in casinos is 100% based on luck, maybe some gamblers use some tricks to spin the casino wheel but that trick doesn't work in all cases. Spinning the casino wheel is largely dependent on luck, but betting on various sports is not entirely dependent on luck. Where bets are placed on sports, your sports based skills will make you more likely to win the bet. You know well about the sport and you have enough knowledge about each team on the other hand a person who has no idea about the sport or has no idea about the team then who will win the bet here is definitely the one who has knowledge about the sport. As gambling is divided into different categories, considering the different categories we have to say that in some cases gambling is directly dependent on luck and in some cases gambling is dependent on luck and skill.

I welcome you to this forum, you don't see it as a problem at all if you are new to the forum because no matter how big or how skilled people are in a job, they are new at the beginning. You have expressed an interest in knowing about Bitcoin. Of course you can learn about Bitcoin. There is no end to know about Bitcoin. The more you know about Bitcoin, the more new things you will learn. Every job requires a newbie to learn the basics first, same with Bitcoin. You can get a full understanding of Bitcoin only when you have mastered the basics. You will find basic information about Bitcoin in the Bitcoin Discussion section. Apart from getting an idea about the basics of Bitcoin from this specific section, you can get an idea about Bitcoin investing and trading. Hopefully you will be able to learn more on your own in the future when you have an idea about these things.

~snip~
Gambling places are not for steady income, if you want steady income with gambling, online or offline, you have to be an owner, you need to build your own casino, and watch yourself growing up into a filthy rich billionaire in the world.

Online casinos are places where it's certain that you will lose your money, it's a places where you need to be mentality sane to at least have a good ride and experience as you progress, it's not always about making money with gambling, it's always about not ending up running insane because of gambling.

So, I think gambling is not a short cut to be rich overnight. Nobody should so much addict with gambling as much as playing game physically.

Yeah, it's the logical conclusion.

But, there is the fact that gambling provides the hope for some people that they will be able to win a lot of money.

This is why it's so popular, even when it doesn't make sense rationally. It's the hope that these people are buying.
Gambling is an interesting game that's why people plan to gamble again after losing money by gambling and hoping for something better.  Very few people get good from gambling Most of the people have negative comments about gambling but even those people have enough interest to gamble. Such thinking should not make us think that we will earn a lot of money by gambling or that gambling is our career and we plan our future by gambling. If we keep gambling with these thoughts in our mind, then the result of this gambling will go against us. First of all, you must think about your career. If your career is in a good place, gambling can be done as a hobby or for fun.
I saw an interview with a gambler to keep their lottery tickets in the box and it already cost more than 1 million in our local currency and yet, they never win the jackpot prize. However, they remain optimistic that one day they could win the jackpot prize and become a millionaire. I'm not sure where they get that optimism but yes, we can stop people from gambling if they want to as long as they don't bother other's lives and make debts. Who knows that luck will come someday and that will change their lives.
The person you interviewed may be so financially well off that he lost a million dollars in your local currency just to hit the jackpot once and he still hasn't hit the jackpot. If the person you interviewed was a normal person, he would never have spent so much money or had the money to spend so much money. There are many lucky people who hit the jackpot in just one lottery and there are many gamblers who spend their whole lives gambling but never hit the jackpot. I don't expect much from gambling, I never expect to win the jackpot but I gamble in my spare time and I just enjoy the game. I know if I gamble hoping for the jackpot my pocket bank balance may be empty but I may never hit the jackpot.

Rich people can afford to gamble so they have chances of making more bets so they have the probability of winning more too but is such bullshit logic though cause money making skills, in general, has no effect in the results of a bet so thinking that rich people only make money in gambling shows such a delusional mindset of you.
Even if they suffer from a gamble, they are able to manage money for the next gamble, which is why we might think that the poor can't make a profit from gambling but the rich can make a profit from gambling. The profit or loss of gambling does not discriminate between rich or poor but profit or loss largely depends on your gambling skill and your luck. Just because a rich gambler can easily manage money after losing a bet does not mean that the gambler will win because he managed money easily. A gambler will make winning chances by gambling only when he has enough knowledge about gambling and can gamble with enough skill. A gambler can make a profit by gambling with that money from day laborers if he has gambling skills.
774  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do not gamble with Loan Money~otherwise you will be in danger like me on: November 28, 2023, 06:33:36 PM
It is not good to take a loan then if a person takes a gamble after taking a loan then he is taking the worst step of his life. Gambling is one of the most risky game and its outcome is uncertain, a successful gambler cannot tell what the outcome of this match might be, where this game is so uncertain and so risky how do we plan to take a loan and gamble. When our financial situation is very bad and we don't have enough money to meet our needs or when we are in a lot of danger and we don't have enough money to get out of that danger then we can take a loan under compulsion but there is no point in taking a loan for gambling. Gambling loans put you in danger If someone else is found taking a gambling loan, he may be in more danger than that, so we must refrain from doing this.
775  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Easy with unusual/strange gambling sites on: November 28, 2023, 05:50:12 PM
Nowadays there are so many gambling sites and casinos that it is very difficult for a gambler to find a proper and safe site. Most of the time such members who are new to gambling are exposed to wrong gambling sites that cheat gamblers. Gambling is already very risky so I have no desire to make this risky game more risky. For gambling I will prefer the site which is more reliable and trustworthy. I have no experience of gambling in normal gambling sites because I am involved in crypto currency and through this forum there is a lot of information about gambling sites so based on that information I prefer to gamble on those sites which are safe. Since I have premium gambling sites, I have no need to gamble on normal gambling sites.

Most of these new gambling sites offer uncommon bonuses that look very attractive. Some of them have good intentions and want to build a good reputation in the gambling industry but others might just want to deceive people and scam them. When I see such ads the first thing I do is to research the casino to determine how reliable they are. I will check if it is registered and the licence that it carries. The next step will be to read the terms of service. But to save yourself from all this stress just focus on casinos that have a presence in the forum. This is because some of these sites that review gambling platforms are not trustworthy. Casinos in this forum are well monitored and members of the forum will be able to report any problem they experience in the casino.
Most of the gambling or casino sites that you will come across with advertisements and offer huge amounts of money are likely to be scams but not all of them are good casinos or gambling sites if monitored carefully. Earning through referrals can be a bonus income for us but if we connect a new gambler to a bad casino through a referral, he may be cheated later on. We will definitely earn bonus income through referral but it must be good casino site or gambling site. If a new gambler can be introduced to a good quality casino site then he will not be cheated from that gambling site even if he loses money by gambling.

777  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can old generation cause the habit of gambling in young generation ? on: November 28, 2023, 04:58:04 PM
Yes, maybe it's like that because quite a lot of children become gamblers because their parents invite them to gamble, for example at family events, or these children see how their parents gamble on the computer or other media. So more or less the older generation can cause gambling habits in the younger generation.
And if you want to stop this gambling habit in your family, you can just not gamble in front of them and not discuss various things related to gambling. But this is not completely successful, because the younger generation in your family could gamble due to the influence of their playing environment.
If a parent wants their child to gamble like them in the future, that parent can discuss gambling directly in front of the child or gamble directly. If the matter is such that a parent or a family member gambles but that family member is addicted to gambling or is involved in gambling, then that member will try to hide the gambling from the family members. People in different families usually have different thoughts about whether their children will gamble in the future or not. Some family members may think that if their child gambles in the future, it will not be bad, while some families think that if their child gambles in the future, he may become addicted to gambling. Many families do not want their children to gamble.

We all know that people are interested in the positive aspects of a subject, no one ever thinks about the negative aspects. People are interested in trading by looking at its positive side, you don't want to remember that someone has lost money by trading but if someone you know makes money by trading it will encourage you and make you interested in trading. Being interested in trading after seeing the profit of others, we decide to trade directly but before trading we do not think so much that we have a lot to learn about trading before trading. Trading is very easy for those who have no idea about trading but for those who have been involved with trading for a long time, trading is not at all easy. A trader has to risk money before trading and that trader has to be sure that he is risking money in the right place. A lot of market research is required for trading. A trader should understand these issues before engaging in direct trading.
779  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can old generation cause the habit of gambling in young generation ? on: November 27, 2023, 03:30:05 PM
The culture of the environment in which a child grows remains in him. If people in your family are directly involved in gambling and it is continuous then it will definitely affect the next generation. Your family members are regularly discussing gambling directly in your family and the junior members of the family will grow up listening to those discussions or watching the activities of your senior family members. As the younger members of the family slowly learn to understand, they will talk about gambling and in doing so, they will also show an interest in gambling at some point. I gamble no one in my family knows because I don't want gambling to affect my family I am gambling I will gamble If any member of my family ever develops an interest in gambling it is a different matter.
780  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why the rich win gambling more than the poor. on: November 27, 2023, 01:30:59 PM
How is it possible that the rich win more at gambling and the poor lose more at gambling? Gambling certainly does not write in one's account or body that he is rich or he is poor. You can only say that the rich lose money but then start gambling again with more money, and if they win because of the new gambling with more money, the winnings appear larger. Those who are poor earn hard money and then try to gamble with that money, if they lose by gambling then they have to work hard to manage the money to gamble again later. But those who have a good idea about gambling and whose luck is fairly favorable can do well in the game of doa.
