I have heard gamblers make such statements but I believe that it is just a motivation not to quit gambling because your lucky day might be close. There are cases where gamblers quit gambling out of frustration due to constant losses. This saying is like an encouragement to keep gaming because quiting early is not an option.

Maybe this advice was misinterpreted because spending more time or money on casinos doesn't guarantee winning. Taking a break helps to improve concentration and also gives bettors the privilege to evaluate their gambling activity or experience.

Everybody is entitled to his own opinion. This might be his own experience but this is not the correct position. Constant gambling might also lead to ceaseless losses. Gambling might not be favourable every time so there is always a need to follow a budget.

Your gambling view is correct. It shouldn't be seen as a source of income because it is unpredictable. It is possible to be rich gambling but we shouldn't rely on it to get rich because big wins come once in a while. I liked the question you asked him, at least it showed that his beliefs are invalid assumptions.

Both teams have an equal chance to win this game based on their present performance. Inter Milan is just two points away from Juventus and it seems that they also have two of the best coaches in the Italian Serie A. Massimiliano Allegri has been an extraordinary coach who has stood with Juventus all through the club's trial period and with his tactical acumen, he has continued to make the Bianconeri a force in the league. Juventus has a more determined team that will put up a strong fight in this game.

But Simone Inzaghi's is not also an easy nut to crack. Although key players like Benjamin Pavard and Alessandro Bastoni are injured, the Nerazzurri will want to please their fans in the Allianz Stadium. To replace the injured players coach Inzaghi might deploy Matteo Darmian and Francesco Acerbi who are also good players. Inter have scored the highest goals and as equally conceived the least goals, so he will be watching a complete team against one of the best in the league.

Walter Mazzarri has not been a successful coach after he left a Napoli where he won Italian Cup in 2012 and help the club to finish second in the league. He failed in Inter, Watford, Torino and Cagliari and have not had a top coaching club for the past ten years. I see his appointment as a gamble maybe he was appointment because of his close relationship with Aurelio De Laurentiis. His appointment might also because of his low wage bill since the club will still have to be paying the sacked coach until 2024. We just have to wait and see how he would change the fortune of the club.

Once you get used to the time you usually use for gambling it is difficult to replace it with other activities. I tried to take a break from gambling when my favourite spots league ended but it was very difficult. I tried replacing it with video games but  I couldn't get that satisfaction I get when I gamble. Some people might call it addiction but I don't think so because I still gamble within my budget but I just see it as my lifestyle routine. Since I have little knowledge of any other sports, immediately after my preferred game season ends, casino games will be my best option. Casino games are also exciting because they come in different forms and varieties and they can be played at any time and season. But loyalty to sports clubs always makes sports bets a combination of passion and profit-seeking.

We came into the crypto space with so much expectations. Some of us were not given the right information so we thought investing in crypto would make us rich overnight. After sometime it became clear that the sector is not a get-rich-quick scheme and like other solid forms of investment it has risks and requires patience and bravery. The journey of hodling in getting to the level of making a profit is not easy because the media is filled with news that spreads FUD. And lack of understanding of the market will make you miss uncommon opportunities to make a profit because may sell your hodling below target due to FUD.

But as one begins to understand the market, hodling becomes more easier because you have understood the basics of investment. We have to invest what we can live without and having a good emergency fund is an important advice every investor should know. Investing what you can afford to live without will make you to be patient while having emergency funds will be of help when you are faced with unpredictable problems without tampering with your investment.

Political pundits said Javier Milei is the Argentine version of Donald Trump and he has come up with various radical policies which include the dollarization of the country, cutting government spending through the reduction of ministries from 18 to 8 and he usually speaks well about Bitcoin. Argentina has an economy that is battered by inflation and other challenges which means that Javier Milei has a lot of work to do to bring back the nation to its past glory.

His positive stance on Bitcoin is a good omen for the community because it will lead to more awareness and adoption. Argentina is the third biggest economy in Latin America which means more publicity and more business opportunities for Bitcoin businesses. But politicians cannot be trusted because they always fail to fulfill campaign promises.  In most cases, these campaign promises are to gain public support and nothing more. Time will tell if he has good intentions for Bitcoin or if he just used to coin to gain support from young voters.

It is also worth noting that Onana has lost some amount of confidence since he joined Manchester United. And this has affected everything about his performance. If we take a look at his performance in Inter Milan, I don't think we would doubt that the Cameroonian international is very good with his feet. As the Manchester United squad keeps improving we might also see Onana giving that his masterclass passes..

Manchester United is going through a lot of problems and we cannot say that its players are having a good time. When a team is not doing well, it is the goalkeeper that most times bears the negative effect. Onana is still young and needs more time to gain experience and exposure. De Gea is 33 and has played more games than the 27-year-old Onana. I still have confidence that Onana will soon get used to the EPL and United will know that his signing is not a blunder.

Negative news gets more attention than good news. Newspapers like using it for headlines to attract more people to the news outlets. But you don't have to bother with this news because you might become paranoid or even depressed. Economic news is my best section because it helps me to plan how to use my finances and could also serve as a platform for business ideas. It matters less to me if a company sacks its CEO, I don't care if Sam Altman was sacked by OpenAI because he is rich and will son get a new job.

I think it is more fearful to visit the political section of world news than economic news. The news of wars, natural disasters, and coups matters more to me than that of business issues. It is now popular to see pictures of death, destruction, and suffering in news headlines globally.

People spend money on things like cigarettes, junk, and other unnecessary expenses. Such funds can be channeled to buying satoshis as OP has stated. But we shouldn't expect these purchases to bring high profit within a short period. It should just be seen as a means of saving money because the profit will not be as big as someone who used a lump sum with more funds.

We cannot predict the future so we cannot say it is impossible. Maybe this could be a good way of saving money for your children. Even if the price doesn't get to the price in our lifetime, our children might be lucky to enjoy the benefits in the future.

I am sure club managers will always be scared each time players are released for international duties. Some of these international games are played in substandard stadiums which could increase the chances of injuries. Some countries also lack quality medical teams that can assist players in times of health needs. Some of these games are so physical and rugged that players become victims of avoidable injuries. I don't blame some coaches who sometimes stop players from honoring national invitations.

It seems this current international break is becoming a disaster for Real Madrid. Eduardo Camavinga will be out for about ten weeks after he ruptured the external lateral ligament of his right knee. Now will be out for about two months after suffering a hamstring tear. Real will be having a busy schedule with seven matches to play before the end of the year. With the absence of important players like Camavinga, Bellingham, Tchouamen, and Vinicius Junior, Real might have a very difficult run after the break.

I read a story recently of a man who won big and had to locate one student who lost his school fees in gambling. This man gave the boy back his school fees and this drew commendation from the community. There is suffering caused by poverty all over the world and these people need help. I am pleased to see people give to the community from what they have earned.

 If I ever get lucky to win big, giving back to my community will be part of my budget. After I have settled my immediate needs and assisted my family members who need help, my community will be the next in the budget. But mine will be to build a primary school with a library because the school in my community is overcrowded. There are not enough classroom blocks to contain the number of pupils.

The profits some traders are making from altcoin could be very attractive. But we have to also recognize that the altcoin business terrain is highly volatile. As a newcomer in the crypto space, I have not acquired the requisite knowledge to trade on these altcoins which is why I am only focusing on Bitcoin. A friend of mine just told me how he made some good money a few days ago on altcoins and I told him that I am not interested now because I want to move gradually from the known to the unknown.

Don't be carried away by the profits people make in altcoins because many people have also lost fortunes trading on them. The bull run also comes with an increase in scam projects, that is the reason why I am only concerned with the project I am sure of which is Bitcoin. But anybody who understands the altcoin sector and is willing to bear the risk is welcome to invest as he/she pleases.

I have been privileged to gamble with small funds only and these few months have been very favorable. This year have gotten some wins that assisted me in meeting some basic needs. My answer will be YES  because my estimated wins exceed the money I have put into gambling.

From my observation, I think people talk about losses more than wins. Maybe they keep it secret to avoid unnecessary attention from friends, family, or even criminals. Most people I have seen who brag about wins do that to either promote the gambling firm or for other ulterior motives.

We should know that gambling is not for the underaged so we have to identify that we are dealing with adults. Every adult knows what is good or bad for him or her and we should always respect people's privacy. You don't have the right to intrude in someone's personal life until you are invited or you have clear evidence that such a person needs help. 

Most gambling addicts don't always accept or believe that they are addicted or need help. And even they know about their problem they tend to keep it to themselves because of societal stigma. People always see gambling addicts as untrustworthy even when they are free from addiction. This is why some of them prefer to die in silence. Some of them might also keep it secret because they don't trust anyone and there is no counselor or addiction therapist in their location.

But I will always tell people suffering from gambling disorders to seek help from reliable friends, family, or trained personnel. They shouldn't be ashamed of stigma or discrimination because their health is more important than the shame they are avoiding. They can also seek help online if they want to protect their privacy. We should also help these challenged people anytime they come to us for any form of assistance that will make them break free from addiction.

People join platforms for different reasons but if you intend to learn about Bitcoin, then bitcointalk is the best forum to be. Some of the members here have a wealth of experience that is valuable. There is nothing about Bitcoin that has not been discussed on this forum. I will say that the forum is an encyclopedia of the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Without this forum, many members would have been victims of scams because there is much misinformation on the internet. Many people would have invested in scam projects and lost money. This forum has also assisted many in learning about Investing in Bitcoin. If not for this platform people would have been driven by FUD to sell their coins. One will always get the right answers and the best motivation to keep holding regardless of the uncertainties that are out there.

I believe Kevin O’Leary is right because the government will always want to ensure that there are regulations that will give it total control over the ETF. Approving what you cannot control is like buying a car that you cannot drive. But I doubt if it will take up to one year and six months for such approval.  

There are already existing laws that will help the SEC to control crypto-related business to some extent. The SEC should not expect to have perfect regulatory laws for the ETF because it is new to the US market. More laws will be made after the approval based on new developments. The SEC has also lost some court cases that might force them to do the needful before the time frame predicted by Kevin O’Leary.

Gambling firms always use the opportunity of big wins to advertise the company. It serves as a good avenue to tell the public that one can win big if you place a bet with them. Rejecting such public displays will depend on the laws of the country and the terms of service of the betting firm.

I read some of the comments from the website the OP gave and some persons were saying they winner of the bet would have worn a mask for such a presentation because it would be dangerous to display that you own such an amount in Ghana or any developing nation. These nations don't have adequate security and poverty and unemployment have led to an increase in crime. This winner no doubt is now a target for many criminals. And this young man went to the extent of coming with his family members which makes his security situation more complicated.

I don't know if these betting firms pay extra money for this display but I would prefer to accept some deductions from the win me to avoid such risky public display. Alternatively, I can put on a face mask if it is compulsory to attend such an event. If they restrict me from covering my identity, then I will go alone and immediately relocate to another country where I am unknown.

The choice of payment options matters to me. I want to bet with a casino that has a variety of payment options. They should have options to pay in both fiat and reliable cryptocurrencies. A betting site that has an active live chat support system will always attract me. Having difficulties with your casino account could be frustrating but an active support system will help reduce the tension and also assist in rectifying any issue of concern.

I also appreciate casinos that are reliable and abide strictly by their term of service. Casinos asking for advanced KYC after promising never to ask for it can be discouraging. The crypto space is very volatile so casinos that allow for fast and easy withdrawal will be highly appreciated. Another important factor is the variety of games the casino can boast of. Casinos or betting sites that have diverse games will always attract more gamblers including me.

The SEC might end up losing more employees if the new law is forced on old employees. This is because some of them might resign since they will not want to dispose of their cryptocurrencies. This directive will be difficult to implement considering the pseudonymous of cryptocurrencies. I am also interested in how the SEC intends to manage or control how close family members of such employees will deal with crypto.

The job specification will determine how the organization will define the word "crypto expert". If an applicant possesses the skills that are needed to perform the specified task, then he could be classified as an expert because he can accomplish the task.

Many people around me have made such mistakes when they win big. There is a case of a gambler who won about $50,000 and lost the entire money the same day because he lost control. But this doesn't erase the fact that many gamblers have maximized the money they won. One of my friends was able to achieve his lifelong dream of schooling at a European University after he won big. I suggest that every gambler should have a plan on how to use big wins and not waste them on luxury or lose them back. Big wins come a few times in a lifetime, hence we should be set to utilize these wins.

Assisting family members who have needs from a big win is not a bad idea.  Such support will make them know that gambling can sometimes be profitable. This might help to change the perception of some members of society that see gambling as immoral. I have an idea now to drill a water borehole in my rural community whenever I get a big win and I will inform the elders of the community that I got the money from gambling. It will help to reduce the negative view to hold against gamblers.

I don't know how you concluded that there is a high chance of the war escalating to other countries. I know that many countries are gunning for peace and I don't think anyone has the intention to join the war openly. The war in Ukraine affected the global economy because of the increase in the price of crude, gas, grains, and other essential commodities.  This harmed the global economy and bitcoin price was also affected because just like every bitcoin is connected to the global financial system.

But if the war spreads to other parts of the Middle East it will lead to the disruption of the sale and transportation of oil and gas which lead to a shortage in supply. Limited supply will lead to an increase in the cost of electricity and many economies will face inflation and other negative consequences. I don't think the impact of this situation will be as bad as that of COVID-19 because nations can always seek alternatives for oil and supply but the pandemic led to the total shutdown of the global economy.

I don't believe that Bitcoin will crash, the right language should be a decline or drop in price and the currency has the tradition of recovering after some time.
