Actually gamblers are aware that the house or casino always wins, but basically. Humans have the instinct to seek sensation and excitement by gambling, even though there is a risk of losing money, people still like to gamble even though they know they cannot win because they are fascinated by the great hope of getting a big win.
And winnings or big winnings are real and not fraud, but this is a matter of luck, if you are unlucky you will always experience continuous losses because high expectations make you continue playing without caring that the house always wins.

All of us here don't know exactly why they can't secure their crypto, because everything happens due to many factors that we don't know about.
Because there are also those who cannot secure it for important purposes, so they make it an option, and there are also those who use it for their daily needs. Because everyone's circumstances are different, they actually want to secure it, but because of different circumstances they can't secure it, not because they can't manage their money well.
This is different from those who get big profits suddenly, then experience losses because they made the wrong decision and this is negligence because they did not do detailed research. And also not carrying out analysis and strategies that make him lose everything, but these problems can be corrected and used as learning to become valuable experience so that it doesn't happen again. And I think everyone experiences this problem, it's just that the numbers are different, so what the OP said can happen but not only in the crypto world but in other worlds too. But the most important thing is to use all of this as a valuable lesson and experience, by increasing your knowledge and also managing your money better and being able to look after it.

What is most affected by gambling addiction in my opinion is finances, because that is where the other core influence lies.
However, any addiction is bad and must be treated immediately because it can harm yourself and others. And gambling addiction can affect regular gamblers and can damage finances, health, and relationships. And besides that, gambling addiction also has an impact on the people closest to him, especially the family who are most affected by it.
And it is very unfortunate for gamblers who are addicted and already have families and children, because their needs will be neglected and this will make their families and children suffer financially and also with other important needs including school fees and so on. And they could potentially drop out of school because of the cost.
And another frightening impact is that an addict becomes easily emotional which can lead to domestic violence, and this will damage the mentality of the wife and children.

And I pray. Hopefully we will all be kept away from these things, especially those who already have wives and children, including me. Because our obligation is to make them happy in every way, not to make them suffer because of our stupidity in becoming addicts.
785  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do not gamble with Loan Money~otherwise you will be in danger like me on: January 09, 2024, 02:32:28 PM
I've seen debt escalate out of control. Loan sharks are merciless and unethical. The more you owe, the harder it is to escape. Gambling should be fun, not a money-making technique. A frenzied drive to make quick money, especially with borrowed cash, replaces the essence with a risky game of risk and debt

The problem is, that the people who are supposed to understand this thing do not understand it. Or they understand it when it is too late already. People do not take loans on the first day. At first, they become addicted to gambling and then start losing their savings money. At first, they get broke, and then start to take loans from friends and family members. Then they choose banks or other financial companies to get loans.

A gambler supposed to understand that they are already addicted and that should be the stop point for them. But unfortunately, most of them do not even realize that they are already addicted. Family and Friends could have notice this and possibliy help them so they don't get addicted.
This is why we should try to examine our actions towards gambling time to time to see if we are doing it rightly or wrongly. The moment a gambler have started gambling a lot that he always get broke, he should know that he has entered in a high realm of addiction and such person should quit gambling so that he can put himself together again for him to know if he will continue with gambling or not.

The worst of it is that if a gambler starts having the urge gamble, when he doesn't have any funds on him and start taking money from people to gamble, it means that gambler will end up frustrating his life because he will end up losing everything both family and properties because he will become irresponsible.
As gamblers we must pay attention to our behavior when gambling, how often we play it, so that if we realize when we start gambling every day and lose control and have to borrow money to gamble, we must immediately think about stopping the flow. Maybe for some people this is not that important because for them maybe this has become a normal habit and according to them it is not a problem as long as they feel they are not addicted. You know, someone who is addicted does not realize that they are addicted because their mind thinks they are fine even though the person is actually addicted.

That's what they worry about when they are addicted, they will do everything they can to overcome their addiction and they will borrow money either from relatives, family or friends. If they have reached the stage of borrowing money it means that the gambler has become a dangerous addict and of course it will further destroy their life.
I think gamblers who take out loans to gamble, even if only once I assume the person is already addicted. Logically, because he could no longer control his own money, he ran out of personal money every time he gambled and took out a loan so he could continue gambling.
And gamblers who gamble without taking a loan and always spend their money gambling and continue like that, that is a sign that the gambler is addicted and even sacrifices important money to continue gambling.
So a gambler becomes a gambling addict not because he often borrows to gamble, because loans are his last resort when his personal money has run out. And borrowing after he is addicted will only make his situation even more difficult, because he will have to borrow money to gamble and also for his needs. And this is done on the grounds that borrowing will be able to cover their losses in the hope of winning, which will actually make them suffer even more.
786  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What triggers the zeal to invest? on: January 08, 2024, 06:48:57 PM
What triggered me to invest in Bitcoin was because with a total Bitcoin supply of only 21 million pieces, several people including me believed that someday or over time in the long term. The value of Bitcoin will definitely become more expensive due to limited supply, and in the long term Bitcoin also has the potential to provide good profits for those who have patience and strong faith.
So the most important thing that we must instill in ourselves before investing in Bitcoin is patience and also a strong belief in doing so so that we can get big profits. Patience aims to wait for the price of Bitcoin to rise high from its low price before you buy it. Belief aims to make you stick to your long-term goal that Bitcoin in the long term or in the future will make you rich or financially healthy, and many other Bircoin beauties in time.
787  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 08, 2024, 07:48:09 AM
I mean I wouldn't be too mad at them for losing to Liverpool. People are overreacting a bit, sure they have lost a few games in a row now and that is why people are reacting so badly, but THIS one is not really a shock, they played against Liverpool and Liverpool is by far one of the best teams of entire premier league in the last 10 years, only beaten by City, when you lost to second best team of the last 10 years in a nation, that shouldn't really be a big deal at all, I think that's normal.

Arsenal is getting better, they are a respectable team, and they are going to probably be better and better with team, they just hit a rock now and having trouble but with time I am sure that they are going to get better.
Experiencing defeat by Liverpool in the FA Cup is quite normal. And we shouldn't be surprised by these results. In fact, Arsenal actually dominated the game quite well in this match from the start. But I also understand the disappointment that many people complained about Arsenal in that match. Because Arsenal actually almost scored a goal in the early minutes of the match. But they wasted it. And it happened not once but several times. It was as if the Arsenal players were very nervous in the match and were not confident in executing a shot or finishing. Maybe the disappointment is more this way from my point of view. Since the start, Liverpool have actually been under quite a lot of pressure from the Arsenal players, but yeah, it's a little annoying to see opportunities wasted. Their Arsenal squad is nervous because the opponent they face is one of the best EPL teams, namely Liverpool. So I also feel this is normal. I hope that in the next match Arsenal can do better. Because currently Arsenal is also almost eliminated from the top 4 rankings. If they continue to get bad results then the top 4 ranking will belong to another team.
I also don't think Arsenal didn't do well against me and they played quite well. It's just that after suffering a crushing defeat to West Ham at home with a score of 0-2, Arsenal were only able to dominate the game and also got lots of opportunities but had difficulty scoring goals.
And this is what I think Mikel Arteta must improve for the next match, and in the next match in the EPL Arsenal will face Crystal Palace. Even though Crystal Palace is ranked 14th in the standings, they are an opposing team that should not be underestimated and Arsenal must be able to return to their best performance and win the match. If not, their fourth position will be taken by Tottenham.

Quote
the outcome wasn't positive

That might be a foregone conclusion because its a mixing oil with water really.  Work and gambling is unlikely to work out as you are distracted in the task from both objectives and they are not complimentary.  I would agree maybe with gambling on the bus or train to work some people have awful commute to go through so that would make sense.     The mindset to working and the mindset for gambling are not likely to be helpful to one another so you will be skipping back and forth between them, I cant see this leading to good performance or results in your betting.
Working and gambling both require concentration and focus in doing it, thinking and also pressure because work demands at work cannot be changed to think about other things or even existing problems. Such as family problems, relationships or other problems.
So I don't think it makes sense to be able to gamble while focusing on work, because that's not the place.
And I agree that gambling while riding a train or bus makes more sense and you can play with focus while filling the boredom of travel time, and while listening to music using headphones. Because sometimes I do that, gamble or play games while riding a train or bus that takes more than 2 or 3 hours.
789  Economy / Economics / Re: Learn to use DEBT in a proper way to create asset on: January 08, 2024, 02:26:26 AM
In my opinion, having capital to buy assets or doing business using debt is not recommended because it is very risky. Unless you have a mature plan and strategy for the business or assets that you will be involved in, and think about and also have a very mature plan about how you will pay off the debt well and smoothly.
Because borrowing money for assets or for a business requires very large capital so it must be used by the right person, so that everything runs well and apart from that, you must also be able to choose a suitable asset or business. And it must also be supported by expertise, knowledge and experience in the field.
And it's also important to carefully evaluate the potential risks and benefits of using debt for assets and business, and consider your overall financial situation and goals. So it must be really thought out and planned carefully, and most of those who take debt for assets or do business are only people who have intelligence in their fields and are also rich people.
790  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Effortlessly promoting Bitcoin, raising the curiosity of none bitcoin ethusiast on: January 07, 2024, 06:49:17 PM
Introduction
In our today world, promotion2. Our physical items
This is also a superb way of raising the curiosity of a none Bitcoin ethusiast. When Items like shirts, cups, stickers, etc contains Bitcoin logo, and it's present in major parts of your house/environment, it would certainly raise questions from the people around. Sometimes, it might happen that the none Bitcoin ethusiast isn't the social type, but when he/she continues to see something that isn't familiar, then curiosity is certain.
I actually agree with an idea like this, but at the time.
And for now it seems like this idea has risks for those who use it, because currently everyone, all criminals and all groups know about Bitcoin, and also know that Bitcoin is very valuable or you could say digital gold. And bad people, even not bad people, can become bad when they see a Bitcoin symbol or picture somewhere or something that someone is using because they will think you have a lot of Bitcoins and they want to commit a crime by taking your Bitcoins. And maybe by kidnapping just to get a private wallet or other means, just to get Bitcoin.
So in my opinion, something like that is best avoided even though it is a great way to introduce Bitcoin, but for security and convenience it is best not to do it.
791  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 07, 2024, 03:38:28 PM

The schedule is very busy for Arsenal and Liverpool because at the end of last year they met and only played a draw, but today they will still face each other in the FA Cup and also at the beginning of February they will still meet again in the EPL. This will definitely be an exciting battle for both teams and it is hoped that in whatever situation they will both be able to give their best performance.

But considering that previously both of them only played a draw, I am curious whether one of these teams will win or not in the FA Cup match later. I am quite sure that this time both of them will not remain silent and will want to play again in a draw like before so this will be a prestigious match for the two big teams to finish the previous match. For betting predictions, I recommend the BTTS option or over goal results only because it is very difficult to determine which one of them will win.
Maybe a draw will happen again, but if you remember the appearance of Arsenal lately, it looks like Liverpool is more likely to have a chance to win this match.
This is the FA Cup which is actually not more prestigious than the Premier League, but there is prestige that they will keep, especially they will also face each other in the Premier League later. Arsenal also don't want to lose again in a row, they will try to get the best possible results.
On the other hand Liverpool are also in good shape at the moment and they are better than Arsenal. Maybe this will be determined by Arsenal's own performance, whether they will play well or not, because it cannot be denied that their defeat in the previous match will damage their mentality.
Yes, this will be a prestigious match even though the FA Cup is not as important as the EPL, but Arsenal and Liverpool still have to show their best game and prove who is the greatest.
And if you look at the title record and meetings between the two teams, Arsenal is superior in the FA Cup. The reason is, Arsenal has 14 championship titles which makes Arsenal the most successful club in the FA Cup, and Liverpool only has eight FA Cup titles.
However, these results are not a benchmark, because Arsenal is currently experiencing two consecutive defeats in the EPL which has dropped them to 4th place in the standings and this could make Arsenal's condition less good. Meanwhile, Liverpool is currently at the top of the standings and is in good form.
And what we need to know, in this prestigious match, Liverpool will lose important players Mohamed Salah and Wataru Endo who will miss representing their country in the African Cup of Nations and Asian Cup. And most likely Arsenal will field their best squad players and this will be a very interesting match to watch and also in my opinion difficult to predict. And even though I side with Liverpool, I think Arsenal will definitely play very well to return to their best form.

Chelsea will host Fulham in the next match, will they be able to get through this week with a win and continue their previous 2 wins? or will they get another disappointing result by being defeated by Fulham?

If you talk about Chelsea is really hard to say if they'd win or not and same goes to Fulham but the main focus should be on Chelsea because they're the bigger boys but these days is like they should be classified as smaller team base on performance.
This season is very hard for the Blues to even get a draw talkless of a win, I'd say Fulham are going to do anything possible to get a win that's if Pochettino decide to do some wrong selection.
It is true that currently Chelsea is difficult to predict because their performance is very unstable, especially when playing away from home. However, when Chelsea is the host, Chelsea wins and draws more, which I don't think Chelsea will let Fulham win at Stamford Bridge.
And head to head both Chelsea teams are superior to Fulham and Chelsea won three wins, one draw and also one defeat against Fulham. And I think Pochettino will plan and give his best in front of his supporters and will field his best squad to win this match, even though every Chelsea match is always in doubt, but for this match I think they can win it.

Anyone here who retired with Gambling winnings ?  If not, how much you think is sufficient to retire as Gambling winning ?
Gambling is not a job or occupation that can generate steady money so there is no such thing as retiring from gambling, unless you have recovered from an acute gambling addiction and even then without having any money.
Gambling is just for fun and playing to enjoy the game and if you are lucky to get a big win you don't necessarily have to retire. Because there are also gamblers who use their big winnings to buy something expensive or go on holiday and so on to enjoy their winnings.
And there are also big wins that are used to gamble again and run out slowly and there are also those that run out in an instant. So there is no such thing as retiring from gambling unless you have lost everything and become very poor, or have been addicted and recovered. Even so, there is no guarantee you will retire.
795  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Finally I did it (I am happy to join). on: January 05, 2024, 09:23:44 PM
This OP's story reminds me of the first time I was able to buy Bitcoin, and at that time there was definitely a feeling of hesitation about buying it because it was a new experience and there was also a fear of losing or losing.
However, after buying it, not long after the price of Bitcoin rose and I made a profit from the Bitcoin and that made me feel happy and motivated which made me enthusiastic to be more active in making money and so that I could buy Bitcoin again.
And the money I earn to buy Bitcoin from my side job and not use the money I earn from my job or salary, and I buy it in stages or do DCA from the money I earn from my side job.
And OP has a car that can be turned into a business that can make money and that's good, because you have income that supports you to be able to continue buying Bitcoin. And my advice is that you should do the DCA strategy without having to save and you can buy it according to your ability after you get a profit from your business and do this for the long term then you will get big profits in the long term.
796  Economy / Economics / Re: Crypto investment vs real estate investment : Which one more dependable? on: January 05, 2024, 08:47:37 PM
I don't think it's easy to determine which investment is better between real estate and cryptocurrency, because both asset classes have their own risks and potential rewards. And both require knowledge, analysis and strategy to be able to do it and also recognize the risks that exist and besides that you have to be able to understand the real estate market and also the crypto market.
And it's good to invest in both and prioritize crypto to convert profits into real estate, so invest in crypto first while learning real estate investing as a whole and when profits are earned from crypto, you can invest in real estate and you can do both.
797  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to check if an altcoin is a scam on: January 05, 2024, 09:23:02 AM
Identifying whether an altcoin is a scam or not is not an easy task but it can be a good challenge for us not to be fooled and if we can recognize the altcoin is a scam, this is a great practical skill.
And in my opinion, the first thing to do is to carefully read all the white papers of new projects and find out whether industry experts believe that the project is legitimate or not. And we need to be able to do that because this is one of the most important aspects and initial coin offering, and the white paper should explain how their altcoin is designed and how it works. And if there's something strange or doesn't make sense, you should be aware of it.
And there is much more that needs to be done to find out whether an altcoin is a scam or not, but what I mentioned are the main factors.
798  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can loneliness make one addicted to gambling on: January 05, 2024, 03:24:45 AM
That's right, because it doesn't make sense if someone who feels lonely in such circumstances suddenly gambles and becomes addicted. Because becoming a gambling addict does require a process, and apart from that, most people who are lonely with existing problems will divert their feelings of loneliness with habits or habits that they have or have done before.
And domestic relationship problems are difficult to just forget about, and usually most people will divert these problems by going to the bar to enjoy alcoholic drinks until they get drunk and forget about the existing problems. And it is not suitable for gambling because your thoughts and emotions have been damaged by problems which makes you lonely and you will play without control which makes you even more chaotic.
I don't think it's suitable. because it all depends on the person's environment. if he is in a circle of gambler friends, when he experiences problems then he will go to their friends. and that could be the start of someone to gamble.
everyone has their habits. and if a gambler does have secretive behavioral habits. I don't think it's impossible when he just opens an online casino to play. Maybe the situation is not the same as people who are addicted to games. but the possibility of that happening still exists.
Anything can happen and it goes back to the issue OP mentioned, and if she stated friends or environmental factors or her friends there's a chance it could happen. And usually beginner gamblers are easily addicted if they can't control themselves at first, plus the feeling of loneliness and problems they have will make them easily addicted, but it depends on whether the person likes or enjoys doing it. If not, then it is very likely that the person will do something else, and it is possible that he will do it by using existing habits or other things he has done, and starting from a chaotic situation or a situation that makes him addicted.
799  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can loneliness make one addicted to gambling on: January 05, 2024, 02:35:18 AM
Later he open up to have been using $500 for gambling per day, he said all these started when his wife left him, that he isn't into gambling at all, but I can't ask why his wife left him in the first place, but does loneliness make people become addicted to gambling or it's something else.
There is no connection between loneliness and gambling except that person is already a gambler then he can utilized the opportunity of being lone to start gambling more or making some random deposit to his account to constantly keep gambling. Sometimes is from mindset what you think of is what mostly come into mind, and I don't see any reason why someone wife will leave him and he turns himself into gambling addiction instead of becoming a drunker or smoker because these two things are easily being triggered by loneliness and not becoming an addicted gambler.

Quite reasonable and your idea is almost the same as what I have in mind, people say that loneliness can trigger someone to get involved in gambling, I agree for that matter but on the other hand this idea only leads to those who have previously known or have been involved in gambling or even still quite active, because for ordinary people who have never gambled at all I think it is still unlikely for them to suddenly enter gambling to get involved in it, the scenario will not be that simple.

In general there are a lot of people who experience loneliness at certain times but not all of them are gamblers and that can kind of invalidate the idea that loneliness can trigger gambling, like I said that idea would only apply to someone who is already familiar with gambling so like you said that at the same time they are trying to take advantage of the time and opportunity to gamble and try their luck. Basically and overall there are still a lot of things that they can choose to do as an alternative to loneliness, playing online games (without risk), watching a movie or chatting something with one of their friends via mobile phone has the nature and potential that they are very likely to choose in general in such situations.
That's right, because it doesn't make sense if someone who feels lonely in such circumstances suddenly gambles and becomes addicted. Because becoming a gambling addict does require a process, and apart from that, most people who are lonely with existing problems will divert their feelings of loneliness with habits or habits that they have or have done before.
And domestic relationship problems are difficult to just forget about, and usually most people will divert these problems by going to the bar to enjoy alcoholic drinks until they get drunk and forget about the existing problems.

Anyone interested ? And you will be paying my share every week to me or 2 weekly how i want.
You need to have some experince Im not gona teach you basics so i hope to find some good partners.

Thank you !
Luckily you offer other people to trade with your own capital in this forum, if you offer it in other forums or on social media I'm sure there will be many people who offer it and claim to be professional.
You have to be careful in this because it is very risky and you will lose money if you choose the wrong person, and my question is. What is your reason for offering people to trade with your capital, are you a very busy person so you don't have much time to trade or other problems.
And you should tell me the real reason for your offer, because here there will be lots of good suggestions and solutions for you because trading is not an easy job. And apart from having sufficient experience and knowledge, you also have to have lots of time to do it.
