Will you explain to him that you are doing great and you are not a compulsive gambler
Will just stop gambling and be practical and get that multi million inheritance
You'll just go on with your passion and just forget the money that your father will give to you as inheritance.
Let's discuss this scenario is possible
Yes- I would definitely quit gambling and get once I inherit the money, I would gamble again! Jokes aside, this is a case of choosing two (2) options where one is a guaranteed sum of money; while the other is continuing an act which is considered risky. The answer is obvious- I would definitively quit gambling and focus on other ventures from the money I inherited. Even if I do mastered my craft in sports-betting, the act itself is still risky. The only thing absolute in gambling is not winning- but the inconsistencies that are associated with it. |

As a gambler,I know that we have done so many mistakes in the pass base on our bets and wrong strategy or calculations that we have done which led to losing the game that was suppose to make you win big. I want to use myself as an example,I love sportbet and I bet more on it. Last months I placed my bet on 7 games that was to be played for two days. When the 5th game was played,all matches came out as predicted and I was called by the casino,to offer me a cash out of $200 in my local currency and I refused it because if the other two games was played and the I got the predictions right. I will win $1200,so I turned the offer down. The painful part of it was that the two games were to kick off on the same time,and after the games,my prediction for the two games was wrong. I felt so bad because I allowed greed to control my emotion. For this reason,I having decided that when ever I have an opportunity to cash out again,I will always go for it,instead of thinking that I can win all the money.
So my question is this,as a gambler what mistake have you made when gambling that prevented you from winning big.
Let's discuss.
There was a time where it was my father who prevented me from winning my first gambling game. I remember back in 2012, my father was a notoriously active gambler in the cockfighting platform. He would frequently bet fighter chickens and raise them in our farm in which my grandfather brought, specifically for training these chickens. There was a time where my father invited me to participate in an arena where you would bet on a chicken. I chose “A” but my father insisted that I choose “B” instead. Unfortunately, I lost and that was also my first gambling experience. |

I know everybody is not in a same class but still we all do budgeting, expenses and impulse. How much do spend a day? Do you think is possible to program your daily expenses?
I mean are you asking in general? Short answer is- yes it is possible to program your daily expenses. This kind of activity involves proper financial planning in order to keep track of your income and expenses for your investments. As a general rule, you should always spend less than what you earn and avoid applying for credits on unnecessary items. Focus on prioritizing activities that provide various benefits to your health, as well as to your entertainment as well. If you have any excess money, then consider investing a portion of your income in various investment mechanisms (e.g. stocks, crypto, etc.) to diversify your portfolio. At the end of the day, proper planning on your financials is the key in order to maintain a work-life balance without having to stress on unnecessary expenses while maintaining a proper investment pool. |

Hello guys,
I'm happy to be part of this community, and so far I've realized that everyone is more experienced than me, so I don't know how logical it is to ask this question, but I'll ask it anyway.
Is it the right time to invest in Bitcoin?
All my friends are talking about cryptocurrencies, but I still can't wrap my head around it. What would you recommend for someone who has no previous experience? Do any of you have resources that you can recommend to me that will explain cryptocurrencies in the shortest and most simple way?
If you have any success stories you would like to share, I would be very grateful if I could benefit from them as well...
Yes- it is definitely the right time to invest in Bitcoin! To every newbie/beginner who is entering the cryptocurrency world, I always advise them that the best time to invest is when you actually start your journey in this world! The moment you discover and understand the basics of cryptocurrency, that is when you should start investing in order to maximize your short/long-term profits depending on your goal. By basing it on the price history index of BTC, you would definitely observe that the price trend of BTC is increasing over the years. Who knows that maybe 5-10 years from now, the value of BTC may exponentially increase like what happened when it started. |

Handing out KYC documents is not too much of a big deal, if you don't have anything to hide like users in the US have been facing this level of restriction and verification demand since most casinos in that region are regulated.
I think some reasons that people are layed back from going through KYC is if they feel they can bypass it or when it is not a strict law that everyone is used to like the US you mentioned. If a jurisdiction has made regulation a law, that means every other casino opening up in that country mandates KYC and bettors will get that knowledge already before opening an account that they must give themselves to KYC as prerequisite then it should settle the whole up and down about issues with not allowed to withdraw funds because of lack of kyc verification. Sometimes, it is not about on the topic of hiding your KYC documents. Most of the time, the KYC documents being asked by some gambling platforms and exchanges are too restrictive that it brings more harm than good. For example, in our local exchange in order to reach a certain verification level, the staff asked for the ITR of my mother and my most recent bank deposits. In addition, they even asked for the details of all the transactions that I have used in multiple platforms. Sure, I understand that KYC was implemented in order to enhance one's security and to follow the mandate of some laws but if it becomes too restrictive, it destroys its very purpose. |

As we know that most gambling sites will require you to gamble and wager your whole balance once, before you can cash out or withdraw from the gambling site and they take this measure so people do not do money laundering whereby deposit and withdraw without gambling.
Now the point here is that on the gambling site, there are many easy winning bets with odds like 1.01x etc. If the money lauder is sensible he can easily be wagering the whole amount by placing a few bets where the odds are very low and the winning chances are 99%.
So does this mean that there is a loophole here and the money launderers can easily by pass this wagering requirement?
This is interesting- so they can circumvent the requirement of wagering your whole balance before you can cash out/withdraw their funds in the gambling website? Hmm, maybe gambling websites and ushers can provide or at least monitor the amount of money being transferred from one account to another vs the amount they betted. Though this may be the case, I do think that this is a grey area that needs to be discussed. Money laundering is something that has been consistently done and people are looking for alternatives and ways to circumvent the law and continue it. |

Someone who is successful at gambling would have to be incredibly smart. I would think that a successful gambler is less likely to have addiction issues. Addicts are motivated purely by greed and emotion and will ignore all logic. To be a successful gambler you need to think rationally. If you become so obsessed with winning more and more money that it leads to an unhealthy addiction then it will be difficult to remain successful.
The addiction thing is so bad I also agree that successful gamblers are not seen as addicts. Their knowledge and skills are high, greed does not touch them that's why they are successful. A successful gambler needs a lot of hard work and dedication also the first rule of online gambling here is low expectations. No, it is not to say that successful gamblers are not guaranteed to win instead they don't always expect to win no matter how small so gamble for fun and avoid any pressure to win. I think there is a thin line between an addict against a successful gambler. A successful gambler, like a professional player, can be observed that he is doing what he is being offered to. Basically, it is his job to gamble and to play various card games in order to entertain himself and the viewers. In comparison, gambling addicts can be categorized into two (2), namely the addicts who do it for fun; and the ones who do it for money. Though they may be seen as different, I sometimes find it confusing on distinguishing the two given the nature of gambling. Maybe these professional players are being paid by advertising agencies, etc. as another stream of income. |

Do you know that with the awareness of Bitcoin now you don't need to convince somebody to invest in bitcoin, why before you have to convince people to invest, bitcoin is now a choice of investment which anyone who invested will Google out the process of investing through internet direction, I love to say Bitcoin has plant itself with internet dispensation of information.
While Google searches may refer thousands of BTC articles, it is still somehow complex to fully understand this concept. Like what some have mentioned, there is really no harm in providing continuous information to others ESPECIALLY when they themselves are the ones who asked about it. BTC is a technical and complex concept that requires patience in order to comprehend given the nature of the system. When kids are involved, it becomes a challenge to explain the system where they can at least grasp the concept of it, while maintaining interest to them. Though I fully agree that forcing them to learn about BTC can only bring negative impacts to their interest on the subject, helping them understand may fully bring the potential and love in order for them to appreciate this topic further. |

it is difficult if someone is too comfortable in gambling which will end up being addicted it is difficult to stop and when they have the desire to stop and do more positive activities only their family can help. if we talk about addiction it will never end but how else sometimes many new people try gambling after that they are lucky to get big wins and from that someone will become addicted because they feel they are getting something big without realizing they will lose continuously when trying to bet and lose after that chasing losses.
Gamblers are desperate and willing to take any risk for the purpose to place wagers in the system. Loss is impossible to avoid; quantifying losses merely contributes to the instability of our emotions, regrets, and feelings of remorse for what we have done. Addiction is the most devastating incident that can happen to a gambler; it is one of the extreme levels that will undoubtedly result in losses and account liquidation. Gambling is simple to begin but extremely difficult to stop; I've come across numerous gamblers who tried everything they could to stop but couldn't, instead preferring to indulge in gambling further. Unfortunately, gambling addicts resort to gambling as their way of coping mechanism. Instead of making their situation bearable, everything is just worse when this kind of event happens. In order to fully address these concerns, we have to understand that gambling addiction is a mental disease that people are suffering. If we take it as a negative thing, this will just further complicate matters and we will only be selfishly helping ourselves rather than the persons affected. I just hope that when dealing with a person suffering from gambling addiction, patience is the key in order to help them. They are suffering- we really have to extend our fullest concern and understanding in order to at least alleviate the situation. |

How many bitcoins does a person need to retire, what is the cashout plan and why?
This depends on several factors affecting the wealth of a person. Generally if a person lives in a third-world or developing country, 1 BTC is enough to sustain them for at least years. Given that the standard of living in those said countries is relatively low, such amount would equate to at least a significant value. Probably around 10 BTCs would be enough for them for retirement. Though this may be the case for developing countries, people who lived in a developed country has a different value. Obviously, the standard and cost of living are high which means that more than 10 BTCs would require them for retirement. At the end of the day, it really depends on the status of the person on how they would perceive "retirement" as it is purely a subjective question. For me personally and as someone who is living in a third world country, 10-20 BTCs would definitely suffice as a retirement fund. |

Gambling is a game that has an addictive effect. Most people who have joined gambling sites will find it difficult to get out of the gambling circle. It doesn't matter how much you lose at gambling, as long as we still have money, we will continue to gamble
Can you share your first experience playing gambling? and who told you about gambling sites?
I myself know gambling sites from my own friends. I idly and try to deposit. Starting from playing with a little money, after a while I didn't know how much money I had spent playing gambling
I remember my first experience in gambling and I was around fifteen (15) years old at that time. My father and grandfather were notorious in cockfighting. They even constructed a farm solely on raising fighter chickens and they compete on national TV. I remember, my father brought us to this arena/stadium in our country where it was televised. In a cockpit, there were two (2) sides, either you choose A or B. Before the fight begins, lots of people watching on the stage betted against each other choosing either A or B. During that time, I was confident enough and chose "A" but my father insisted on choosing "B" instead. It was also my birthday at that time and when the fight started, B lost resulting to all of my birthday cash gone! From that experience, it really traumatized me as a kid which really compelled me to limit my gambling expenses. Whenever I feel like gambling, this core memory kicks-in and reminds me to stop and re-evaluate the situation. |

Recently research was held by Dr Reece Bush-Evans who told that online gambling could Hide the sexuality of the LGBTQ+ people and most of these people prefer online gambling as compared to physical gambling for obvious reasons. The more important concern for the LGBTQ+ people is that they are being treated differently in a casino which may come under harassment. Also, the study says that people at the casino, the staff plus the public have shown discriminatory behavior towards these people. New Research Explores Effect of Gambling on LGBTQ+ PeopleI am very curious- why is this issue being told in the first place? LGBTQ has nothing to do with gambling and its effects. In fact, gender should not be an issue to something that is purely for entertainment. I really find it difficult to comprehend the relevance of gender in associating it with casinos. Though this may differ in a physical setting but this varies from person to person. Though this may be the case, discrimination may manifest in these scenarios but this is applicable in all settings and not just in gambling. I do hope that such discrimination be lessened given that we are living in the 21st century where gender should not be an issue to everything. |

We know that scam coins are everywhere, mainly advertised on social media, I spent time trying to know the exact way to fish out scam coins but to no avail, despite how inquisitive we could be to generate more funds for ourselves through Cryptocurrency investments and to try new things, we should also be much aware of the scam coins and their possible pernicious damage.
I agree that there are a lot of choices to make regarding cryptocurrency but early dictation of this proposed scam needs to be checked.
Am not much familiar with cryptocurrency, and that's why I need more guidance so that if eventual I see one, I will know how to handle it, this will help me to have a good knowledge on the path to settle for.
The very first step is about knowing the website you are sharing your personal information to. Be wary of websites and giveaways where they are asking for your personal information upon registration. While KYC is normally asked in some gambling websites, but in normal websites, never share your personal information. If a website is claiming to give free BTCs or any other type of freebies in that regard, never share your personal information without confirming if such website is genuine. Also, never believe that any website would give free BTCs or cryptocurrencies as these things typically never happen nowadays. |

Sorry to say but I don't think I'll ever be recommending any casino for a user here in the forum the best I can do is to recommend you go through their thread since you're no longer a newbie in the forum, I have seen your post in several threads.
The last time I recommended the casino I was using for sports betting for a user here in the forum when they encountered a problem that was caused by them, they PMed me reminding me that they took my recommendation and the casino was quite popular and also reputable in the forum, not some new junkie casino. But in the end, I heard nothing from the guy, I did expect a scam accusation but instead, he just left.
As someone who has represented and is continuing to represent Duel bits, I will strongly recommend this gambling website. Not only does this gambling website have sports betting but your funds and security are guaranteed. It also has a designated signature campaign which implies that they have allocated a fund for their advertisement. For slots, I would also recommend similar gambling websites that have an ongoing campaign signature. The fact that these gambling companies have allocated a budget means that they are genuine with all respects to safety and security. |

First let me start by saying a big congratulations to you for realizing that, and secondly this is a good starting point since you already have a bad experience and wrong idea of what bitcoin investment is from a scam or Ponzi that scammed you or your friends.,
But the most important aspect is that you are here on bitcointalk where you will have access to information that will change your entire understanding of the subject matters of bitcoin and how to properly guide yourself to always be in a better position in your bitcoin holding be it as investment or a daily transaction currency.
Like what I always mention to new investors in the cryptocurrency world, the next best time for you to invest is when you discovered about the latter's existence. The moment you learn about the fundamentals and basics of BTC or any other cryptocurrency, then that would be considered the best time to invest. By basing it purely on the price history index of BTC, you would see that the price trend increases per year. Given that the next fork will happen in 2024, this will be considered as the next best time to invest before such fork happens. Now that you have regretted it on the past and realized the missed opportunity, this is the sign to start again and continue investing on BTC. Best of luck, OP! |

I have heard the advice that you should only use money you can afford to lose for gambling. I say that this is more theoretical than practical. Literally no one has money that they can afford to lose. I feel that money for gambling is a matter of opportunity cost. You either use the money for gambling or use it to meet a need. If using money one can afford to lose were practical there will be no need for articles on having a gambling budget or bank roll management. Hey gamblers my question is to you now is, the money you currently plan to use for gambling is it money that you can afford to lose?
Generally whenever I gamble, I always consider it as money loss on my part due to the nature of its circumstances. It is not about the money that I can afford to lose, but it is more of conditioning that every money that I enter in gambling is considered money lost. In conclusion, gambling is a game of chance where it does not guarantee any absolute form of profit. In return, you experience the adrenaline of knowing whether you double your money or lose more in the process, which is a trade-off in itself. If you really want to limit yourself in gambling, then you should only bring only a handful amount of money at your disposal. |

Lottery here in our country is being run by our government and the majority of the citizen in our country are lottery bettors for many years, I personally know people who are betting for ten or more years but they still have not hit the jackpot I wonder what these people think or if you're a lottery bettor for many years and you read that one first time bettor hit a huge jackpot in a lottery. Will you feel envious? Ok with it? or motivated? Filipino first-time bettor wins 15 million Dirhams in Dubai lotteryI do think that once you do something over the years, it becomes part of your routine where you do not expect anything from it. Betting the lottery for years is something that is done routinely- people will not win this if they do not continuously try and attempt to do it. While this may be the case, I would definitely envious if a first-time bettor tried the lottery and won the jackpot. But at the end of the day, those are the odds and numbers do not lie. Even if the chances of you winning the lottery is astronomically low, I would, still, do and try it! |

Free signal group, you can join. If they later ask you to pay money or luring you to pay money, leave the group.
If it is a pay signal group, avoid them and do not join. If they can trade and make money from trading, they will not ask anyone to pay.
What people are doing is to look for victims of what they (the scammers ) are not professional at and use it to scam their victims.
Signal groups are created in order to at least teach beginner traders the basics of trading. They teach you the fundamentals in order to understand techniques and instruments to understand both the extrinsic and intrinsic factors in forecasting cryptocurrency prices on the market. Though this may be the case, majority of these signal groups have been created in order to perpetuate fraud. They take advantage of the feeble minds of beginners by asking ridiculous amounts of prices and charge them weekly. This is also the reason on why some signal groups are just not worth it given that there are free courses being offered on most social platforms and videos. |

Has this happened to you or someone you know ?
Oh definitely and it brings back memories! Last 2017, the infamous "USI TECH" visited our country (Philippines) in order to host an event where we were able to meet and greet the developers. Since my friend who owned around ~120 BTCs at that time convinced me to try this investment scheme (ponzi), I was influenced by it given the young spirited teen I was (19 years old). At that time, I invested around $100 worth of BTCs which was definitely expensive given my current financial condition at that time. During the first month, I saw my BTCs actually in increasing in value by purchasing these so-called "packages." But after the third (3rd) month (they promised that our BTCs would mature at the sixth (6th) month), the website crashed and everything was gone! From here, I learned a valuable lesson to never trust any ponzi-schemes as there is truly no safe way for you to secure your funds. |
