881  Economy / Gambling / Re: How to self exclude from anonymous gambling sites on: December 09, 2023, 10:55:55 PM
I guess this is how it looks when you really "self-exclude yourself" from gambling... just move all your money away from yourself, into some locked service, or anyway far from yourself.  But what makes self-exclusion really efficient is that you have your money with you, but you decide to not spend it on gambling... that is a powerful mind. It's never easy to stop with something that is deep inside us, but there are ways to beat the force that drives us to do some "wrong" things.

In the end, I believe that self-exclusion works far better than some casino exclusions... if we are not ready to give up some things, nothing else can help!
There's no such thing specially having those self exclusion would really be that relevant or something that would really be effective against into those gambling addicts on which you would really be playing and finding yourself do come back and forth on playing gambling as long you do have a get a hold of your funds. If you've been locked or blocked then you could really just that simply find another place on which you could really be able to play on on which it would really be just that so normal that you wont really be something that cant be stopped as long you do have the funds.
Self control would be crucial and something that it is really needed but we know that not all would really be having that kind of control and discipline towards themselves
and this is why they would really be ending up on a disaster.
882  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe you can win on sports betting by analyzing a betting lines only? on: December 09, 2023, 10:43:56 PM
When I say 'line,' I am referring to the spreads or handicap of a certain team in the game. Through my years of experience, I have noticed that putting effort into analyzing the team's statistics and other factors, such as news and rumors, does not significantly affect my chances of winning.

I got this belief now that bookmakers are already knowledgeable about these aspects, and they take them into consideration when establishing a betting line for a specific game.

How about you? Do you share the same perspective or not?

101%, usually I analysis the game after checking the odds not before.
The odds sometimes telling us what we dont know about the match. Sometimes I feel the odds maker already knew the results even before the match begins.

They are already long time in the business and if ever it is really just that feels that way then sure it is. They do already know on what are the things that puts them on advantage.
If it seems that they do really know on whats ahead then for sure they would really be always having the edge. In my case, i dont see for those news and other possible events
to be non relevant on which this is something that would really be so useful. It do really just happens that luck would really be always that relevant and always
be the main factor on which it would really be neither be a game to be a complete win or loss. This is gambling or betting, so its a matter of win or lose.

I have seen that many gamblers cannot enjoy gambling winnings. They may win but they cannot enjoy the money. A gambler I know likes to accumulate money into his gambling account. The more money he wins from gambling he keeps there. When asked he said he was increasing money for bigger wins. But my one thought is that there is no benefit in gambling for whole life accumulating money. Of course a gambler should enjoy winning or he will lose. Greed is a big problem for gamblers. If a gambler will be greedy he will loss more. I must agree with you that there is no doubt that any gambler will lose if he does not take a break after winning.
There's no such thing about contentment if we do speak about money and us human beings then it would really be that natural that we would really be accumulating money as much as we could
and on the time that we are playing gambling and on the moment that we are really experiencing winnings then it would really be just that a normal approach or reaction that you would really be that
trying out to get more money as the moment you are seeing that it would really be that still possible for you to do so. Its a normal reaction and approach to be done by someone and this is why it would really be that always best that you should really be that mindful about on the things that you would really be doing and not really just that make yourself that being controlled with your greed
because if you do then you would really be messing up your finances sooner or later.

After betting $1 to win $50, you feel like you could have made $500 on the bet if your friend had paid you back $10. You feel like you should have bet more because you won the bet, but before you bet you probably thought you could lose that dollar amount. Since you made $50 with one dollar, I would say that you took a high risk gamble and that risk was high. You are lucky so you won in this gamble. It's a different matter if your friend didn't pay your loan on time, but it's wrong to think that you could have made a lot of money just by paying off the loan. Since money is gambled with risk, the outcome of the gamble can go either way.

Yeah, of course gamblers will want to have bet a higher amount when they win and lower ahen they lose. Unfortunately that's not how it works.

You can't change the past given the present knowledge.
OP made the post here if he would have lost money instead of profit by gambling but he wouldn't have thought like that or he would have thanked his friend in his heart that his friend didn't pay his loan on time. We should be satisfied with what we actually get, gambling with one dollar earned 50 dollars I think he should be satisfied with that much. With one dollar he earned 50 dollars I think he will gamble again with more money hoping for more profit but then the result will not come as he expected. There are many gamblers who have made a lot of money by gambling only on their own luck but it didn't take long for them to lose the amount of money they gained by gambling. It will not take us a day to lose the amount of money we can accumulate in gambling profits over a long period of time. OP has profited here I think now he should be careful and control his greed and then gamble.
It would really be just that ending up on two different possible responses or reaction on which he would really be that thankful into his friend if that bet had been a lost but since its a winning bet then you would really be able to expect the different thing.It is really just that a very normal human being kind of reaction.  Grin People would really be making out those regrets that they havent been able to bet big
on the time that they are winning and this is where people would be making out that freaking blaming time into those people who are cause on why they havent been able to win up big.
This is a common approach and reaction but still a win is a win and the profits made are actually not bad because having that $10 to 50? this isnt something
that anyone could be able to hit up.
885  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Beginner needs your advices in gambling. on: December 06, 2023, 11:45:18 PM
Do you think Me starting gambling would effect me in my real life or make me addicted to gambling. What’s you suggestion and advices.

It depends on some factors...
The first and most important is conditioned on the answer you give to this question:

What is your main goal with gambling, to have fun or to "get rich"?

If your answer is the second option, then you already have a 50% chance of becoming an addicted player, unfortunately.
However, if you have discipline and manage to impose limits on amounts and time with gambling, then you will probably never become an addicted gambler.

Good luck!
Not only 50% but rather i would say 90% chances for you to get addicted once you do have this kind of approach towards gambling. If you are that someone who do really just simply play just for fun
then you wont really be likely on getting addicted with it but overtime when you already making gambling as a habit then this is where things starts to change and this is something that would really be that needing to be careful about because this is where people do mess up their finances on the time that they would be playing like a madman. FOr those who are really just starting with
gambling or newbies, then they shouldnt really be that anticipating that gambling could make them rich. They should be thinking that they are really just that paying for the fun that they do seek
off before anything else.
886  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Do You Convince Someone On Something That Will Not Work on: December 06, 2023, 11:21:31 PM
While strolling in a park I bumped into an old friend with whom I had a conversation about online gambling we had a long conversation some three weeks ago, actually the original topic was about Bitcoin but for some reason I mentioned online gambling using Bitcoin, and that what opened about a lengthy conversation about online gambling using Cryptocurrency.

I didn't know that he signed up for one popular casino that I mentioned he started to play there and had huge success using one of the oldest but ineffective methods which is Martingale, I was just surprised that he had a successful run using a variation of martingale on Dice even mentioning of doubling or tripling his bankroll.
He is about to deposit a huge amount of money next week because the holiday is very near and he just wants to explore his so-called new-found method, which is not new to us.

We all know Martingale will not work in the long run, should I let him find out himself but that will incur a heavy loss in this case.  Cry
Or should I discourage him by showing him videos, articles, and testimonials?

Because of this, I will not talk about online gambling to newbie I could put a guy in big trouble.

Warn him. I think that's the best you could do.
When your friend entered the world of gambling, I hope he knew the risk that he was taking by doing so. Because there are individuals who heard about one popular casino, and signed up but had no idea what they were doing.
Then the one thing that mostly happens after the sign-up is the trap. He is now living it. It's not beginner's luck but these are baits to make people play more. He will definitely win while he is a non-VIP, I could tell because I've been there, withdrawn a lot of times from my winnings, but now that I am a VIP, I cannot seem to find that same luck that I had before, whatever the strategy I make especially with the casino games and the originals.
"Martingale is for people with deep pockets." That's what I would tell to my friend who is on his way to using that kind of strategy.

Yes, its not really that bad to give out some warning specially if he's your bestfriend or close one, as an experienced gambler then you do already know on what are the things that could possibly happen specially it is really just that common sense that we cant really be that able to have those winning permanently specially on gambling. Yes, you might be able to experience those wins on using martingale but it is really just that temporal and something doesnt really last long.If he wont listen then its up to him but at least you have told him something on which he cant blame you
out and would really be feeling sorry on the time that he would be experiencing those problems specially with gambling losses on which it is really that common.
887  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reckless gambling starts after a win round. on: December 06, 2023, 10:46:13 PM
~snip~
Because he was easily tempted by the gambling he saw there, when he won he should have gone home and stopped instead he placed another bet. It is difficult to control oneself when people are addicted to gambling, it is difficult to advise and they do not use common sense to make wise decisions. It's true, what gamblers have to do when they win or lose two or three times is to stop first to calm their minds to get better, and when they recover, return to the casino in a good state of mind.
That's what often happens to gamblers, not just him because by winning, he doesn't choose to stop gambling but instead continues gambling. And when he lost, he considered it normal and continued playing. After playing for some time, he experienced total loss, where all his money was used up for gambling because he wanted to chase a bigger win. But that won't always happen for those who still want a big win because it will depend on the luck they have. That is what we must avoid if we have won, and we should immediately cash out the winnings and leave the casino so that we are not interested in trying other gambling games.
When greed kicks in then it would really be that so hard to stop and this is something to be very typical for most gamblers on having such kind of behavior. Who doesnt really want for you to have that more winnings? Luck would really be that a huge factor when it comes to winning  and its true that once you are really experiencing some winnings and on a consecutive manner then you would really be
having that kind of a feeling or boost up that you should really be playing more for you to have that more winning and this is something that you would really be able to experience on point.
For those people who arent that good when it comes to self control will really be definitely be playing even more on having those hopes that they could be able to win more which it is
really that a bad behavior.
888  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who says you can't be a millionaire in sports betting? on: December 06, 2023, 10:21:43 PM
You can be really rich in sports betting if you just have the luck to get it. It's just that the gambler's luck rarely goes with the casino bettor.

That's why even if it's only 1/4 of the $18,000 I win every week in gambling, it's fine with me, to be honest, that's a big thing for me and a big amount of course. But he is very lucky, 18000$ you can get a house and land here in our country, go with your business and a secondhand car too.
And it is because of this that despite the possibility of achieving that outcome we must not try to pursue it that intensely, as it is not likely this will happen, and while I cannot deny the possibility of making so much money in such a short amount of time is very attractive, since I know I do not have luck on my side I prefer to avoid pursuing a goal like that and instead concentrate myself on investing my money in assets that given enough time can give me great profits.
There's always a chance and a possibility but we cant really be able to deny that it is really that there's really a chance on making some hits like this but of course it would really be needing that extreme luck aside from indepth analysis. The thing i dont like with parlays is that one game lost then it would be totally lost unlike on single bets but considering on the odds that you would be able to take hit
then it is really needing up that consecutive win. Its true that it would really be always better that you shouldnt really be longing yourself on trying out to chase up those wins.
Why? it would really be just that making you desperate and we know that once desperation would kick in then this is where impulsive betting would be starting.
889  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think that this is aperfect analogy of how gambling addiction starts? on: December 06, 2023, 09:26:16 PM
Read this transcript of Andreas Analogy of how gambling addiction kicks off and tell me if you think he is right or not. Basically, your opinion.

Gambling is a tax for people who don't understand the mathematics of probability. If you understand how probability works,  you can't ever rationally gamble. The only reason you would gamble is if you decided, "I am going to lose money; the fun I have while I am losing money is worth it." "I am paying a fee for temporary fun." But most people cannot do that. Once you become drawn into the game, the gambling process triggers these responses. You start getting confirmation bias, selection bias, and survivor bias. These are known cognitive biases. The person who wins thinks they were lucky, but they don't think about all the times they lost. As you are doing this, it is triggering your dopamine centers.
Lucky or not, entertainment or a source of income, it will always depends on us on how gambling works for us or what is our understanding about gambling itself. Gambling will tell us who we really are. Gambling teaches us lessons we need to improve. A tactical guy once said "awareness buys you time and time buys you options". It clearly means in gambling that if we are aware about addiction, we still have time to react. Things can be settled before it get worst.
That's true, regardless of your reason it will still end on your purpose and understanding about gambling. This might be the start of addiction only if you don't know how to be more responsible and let's admit it that gambling is already part of the society and we can't stop this trend anymore, what we can do is to spread awareness and encourage gamblers to be more responsible and always stay on a budget to avoid addiction.
Everything should really be in moderation and if you dont like for yourself on getting that into a point that you are getting addicted to it then you should be responsible on whatever actions that you are making. Gambling isnt bad as long you are really that responsible with your actions because if you dont then most likely you would really be ending up on getting addicted to it and this is something that not a must thing to have or to happen. Addiction would start on the time that you would really be starting on having those kind of greedy aims towards it and this is something that you should
avoid in the first place on which you are really that making yourself that responsible and being mindful when it comes to spending.
890  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever been a gambling addict? on: December 06, 2023, 08:23:14 PM
Going by the conventional definition of addiction, yes, I have been a gambling addict. Gambling addiction can make a person irrational. My story will portray better my level of addiction in the past. I'm hungry I have money to feed and no money to gamble, I always prefer to starve to gamble. I want to buy something, I have the money to buy it but if I do I will have nothing left with me to gamble, I will use the money to gamble and in the end, lose everything. I'm proud of myself that I was able to overcome my gambling addiction and I hope gambling addicts out there can come out from that ugly scourge.

What I often find is that when people talk about success, they are more likely to talk about the hard times, that they went hungry for a while and other hardships. They keep talking about that, while what we need is not your dark story, but what we need is a way and solution to get out of the zone of suffering and achieve success.

Likewise, you only tell us about your hard times and your suffering when you fell into the problem of addiction to gambling. While what we need is not your story of suffering, but a solution and the way you deal with the problem, so that at this time you can escape the addiction to gambling.
People would really be having always that denial on which it is really that common having this way because we cant really just that accept that we are addicted to it until we would be able to find out
that we are already wasting up money or spending up huge in gambling. In terms of addiction to gambling then i havent put up myself on such condition on which i have always that kind of self control when it comes to gambling and also in other means of spending. Budget and moderation would really be that crucial from time to time. Making yourself getting addicted with gambling
will really put you into so much trouble on which it would really be just that common sense that you should be avoid this thing in the first place if you dont like on getting wrecked up.
891  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can you make gambling a profession - a full time job on: December 06, 2023, 07:27:36 PM
I can answer that I can't. Gambling is something uncertain. You risk your money to win and besides that there is a possibility that you will lose. You can't make that one of your sources of income. I think making gambling a game is a wise choice. We can have fun in it. We gamble the money we use as part of our spending for fun. If you win, you are cool. And If you lose, you won't be addicted because you just want to have fun there.

But I was interested in a story from a user: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5476233.msg63253886#msg63253886
His friend changed from being a gambler to opening a slot machine business because he was really interested in and learning about slot machines. Basically he doesn't make gambling his job. But because of slot machines he got good job/business.
You are right. Gambling cannot be something as simple as a job. The main reason gambling exists is for entertainments. On one side we are having fun on the other side we are making money. With all the risks, possibilities, consequences it cannot go compared with a stable full time profession. Your friend made the right choice. I also suggested this. Rather than gamble away all the money one could start a small business with the gambling money. It may be less profitable but it's also less risky. If you are qualified enough a business could have a huge potential.
Its never been a job
Its never been a profession
Its never been an income source

But...
There were people who do really have this kind of treatment on which they are really that able to believe that it is really that something attainable
or something that could possible. Sooner or later they would really be able to realize on whats the real deal with gambling field.
They would be soon realize on the time that they would be experiencing some gambling problems just because they are really that eager
on trying out to achieve something on which we know that it cant just be that so easy nor even possible with gambling.
892  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Advice when you are going a bit far in gaming and betting on: December 06, 2023, 06:07:26 PM


Not going that far, I mean if you already lose your deposit then take a break and stop, chasing or trying to play for more by adding money can lead you to further damages especially with your finances, un-control gambling mistakes will drive you to keep chasing and trying to recover your losing amount.

Everything begins with good control and should end with the same control that you set up. Otherwise, you will find yourself losing and stress and regrets will follow that up along the way.

The gambler should stop the game after the loss,but some people start to reinvest again and again till their wallet become zero.This will leads to the uncontrolled loss at the end of the game.Because the emotional decision will be the cause for the loss all the time.The reason will be keep deposit of the money to handle the loss occurred in the past.But the gambling should not taken as the serious one,the gambler should take a responsible in playing the gambling.The gambler who take gambling as the entertainment will never worry for the loss in the gambling and will not keep deposit of funds to recover of loss.
This inability to take a loss that some gamblers display has always surprised me, casinos are in fact very honest about what is going on, if you know the odds of the bet and the payout you will receive when you win, it becomes very easy to calculate how much money you can win or lose over the long term, and if you take the time to make those calculations you will see that over the long term you will lose money in every single game, not surprising as casinos are a business and need to make a profit, however this means that gamblers should expect to lose and do so often and yet when they do they cannot accept it.
You cant really be able to calculate it precisely considering that you wont really be able to know on how many bets that you would really be able to make and how long you would really be having that gambling session plus you wont really be able to know on how much you would really be able to spend but somehow if you are really just that allocating a fix budget into your gambling activity then it wont really be that much a problem if we do speak about self control and moderation since we know that there are ones who are really that responsible when it comes into their
actions in dealing up with gambling. You wont really be experiencing problems if you are really just that responsible when it comes to your gambling activity and spending.
People do usually mess up on the time that they would really be going ahead into their limits.
893  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Appropriate percentage of income for gambling on: December 06, 2023, 05:56:31 PM
The percentage we want to put into betting should be based on how much we are making outside gambling. Those that has money and are working in a place where they are paid huge amount of money can always determine how much they will be putting into gambling.
 
To determine how much we are putting into gambling should be based on how much we are making from betting. Those that have made lots of profits from betting will not bother much on how much they will be using to bet since the money is still part of the overall profits they had made from gambling. To those that had not made much profits from gambling, it is good for them to based their percentage on low and not spend too much gambling for premium safety.
Use the smallest possible percentage for gambling from your monthly income even if you have a large salary out there while you increase the percentage then it is quite worrying because of the fear of increasing the amount of the percentage because we feel we have a large salary.

That's my current rule of thumb in gambling, depending on how I win in it: for example, I have won in any gambling and have exceeded the initial capital limit, then it will be set aside in gambling to continue some of it is withdrawn for other purposes maybe fun outside gambling.

If I lose, it will be put back a small percentage like the original plan above.
Use of the percentage on which we can really be able to say that it would really be something that cant really affect our finances and not something that will really be able to devastate
when it comes to financial. It is really just that part of our responsibility for us to have  that kind of consideration and being that mindful about on the money that we are spending.
You wont really be putting up yourself on such big trouble if you are really just that aware on what you are doing because gamblers do usually even fail on doing the basic things
when it comes to spending. They would really be that able to realize things when its already too late. You cant really that make yourself that profitable all the time with gambling.
894  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling all about luck? on: December 05, 2023, 11:12:25 AM
~
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.

Yes, but the tricky part is with what odds? If you know that a certain team is most likely going to win, then many other people know that too. Hence the odds. You have to bet $10 to win just $1 in that case. And we all know that there can a draw and you lose your bet. So, my point is that luck plays a big role in sports betting as well. But it's true that some knowledgeable bettors can beat that in the long run.
Neither gambling on casinos or dealing up with sports betting or any strategic game, LUCK would really be always a huge factor on winning up these games.The only thing differs is that
there are games on which you could really be able to apply some analysis on which it would really be that causing for it to make some advantage or simply adding up the odds or chance for you to win up a bet which it would really be completely different when you do play on pure luck based. You would really be able realize and find out for yourself once you do
have that actual experience towards it.

We can hear lots of positive remarks from both camps, but we know the real battle is on the ring, and it's been Inoue that has proven many times that he doesn't struggle, instead he looks so superior, so I'm hoping it will not be the case against Tapales.

That's the truth, even with the positive news were heared from the camp of Tapales, bookies doesn't care at all as Tapales still remains as the huge underdog despite he's all a champion. Judging on the betting odds, this looks like Tapales is just a mandatory opponent (challenger) and Inoue's been consistently protecting his belt.

All we can do is just hope that the unexpected thing will happen, as that's the only way Tapales could win.

No offense to the fans.....

Yeah, if we going to base it the right way, it is Tapales who own more belts compared to Inoue who just went up to this division and
snatch a belt from a division champ.

and like what you mentioned, even how many good things we might heard from Tapales side, but bookies will just ignore that continue to keep
that confidence for Inoue as a heavy favorite.

We will see if how both prepared for this upcoming fight when they already showcasing their skills inside the ring.
People do really forget on what Tapales is and on what are the belts that he do have.He wont be called a champion for nothing, it is really just that people or fans are really that
focusing too much with Inoue which they do even forgot that Tapales does have a good shot on winning up this fight if he had find up some ways on trying to sustain Inoue's powerblows.
They are really that underestimating too much Tapales capability knowing that he's a champion too and he wont really be reaching out that state on nothing.
This is why its not bad to throw up some bucks on Tapales and getting those nasty odds.

When i do make some gambling activity whether betting on sports or playing on casino type games then this is what i do prefer;

13. Have fun! If you don't have fun. STOP!

This is the most important thing that must have because if you dont enjoy or having that fun then doing gambling or betting would be pointless
unless if you are that aiming for money or some income then you wont really be bothered whether you do get some fun or basically
be just playing and having that all in kind of behavior.

Doesnt really matter much if you do make those bettings as long it do get in line with your interest and you do

897  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Its A Gambling Joke But Reflects Bad Things About Gambling on: December 03, 2023, 10:52:14 PM
~
It seems much to me, a moral lesson than a joke. It literally is telling those gamblers out there, whom are starting to loos control on their gambling habit to be mindful of how they gamble. An addicted gambler might be subjected to many taughts, when he no longer has another option to get money for his gambling. In this text, it shows how the man literally has lost his car to gambling, telling us that he is either addicted or a bad gambler.
Lesson as a form of joke: yes, I agree, it may seem like a funny joke, but the truth is that this joke is really happening to the gamblers out there,from wealth to none, as they let gambling swallow their wealth by themselves, so this is a good lesson for those who are planning to enter gambling or are already in gambling and not realising that gambling is not doing them any good. Maybe there are some successful gamblers, but only a few. I don't often see or hear someone getting rich in gambling; maybe in lotto, yes, but in other gambling games, I don't think anyone has the luck to become rich by just hoping. Losing something just because of gambling is too stressful and regretful, so before it's too late, gamblers should wake up and realise that if they continue gambling, something or someone might be gone to them.
It is indeed fact the reality on which there are indeed people who do really ends up on  this way specially when they do lose up too much in gambling on which it do really comes into a point that you would really be losing possessions which would cause up for you to downgrade or even losing those things when you dont able or fail to stop gambling completely.
You would be coming into a point that selling out those things until you have nothing left and this is also a solid indication that you are already addicted to gambling and it is really just that right that
you should be avoiding it at all cost on which you would be coming into that kind of condition because recovery would really be that so hard into this case.

I empathize with what you're going through. Two years is indeed a long time, and it's like being shackled by severe financial constraints. This can be a valuable lesson for all of us, emphasizing the real dangers of addiction. Even borrowed money should be used wisely to ensure smooth bill payments.

I sincerely hope you find a job with a good income soon to expedite the repayment of your debts. Also, I hope you won't repeat this mistake in the future. If I were in your position, I might feel deeply affected by such circumstances.

But the analysis of his wrongdoing is so exact that I wonder why he risked a period of two years necessary to recover in case it goes wrong. If you are able beforehand to calculate the cost of your action like that, I mean it also takes a lot to go for it if you know that it takes two years until you can finally breath normally again in terms of financials. On the one hand, it is a sad story because I wish nobody to have bad times ahead of them, but on the other hand it is a little bit shocking to see that he went for it regardless of the consequences.
We do know that loan terms could neither be playing around 6-12 months or even more and those amounts could really be that easily be blown up in an instant on the time that you do play gambling.
For those people who do make out decisions on taking up a loan and just simply playing those amount of money in gambling. Do they really ever think on what are the things that they would really be needing to pay up which it could be a long time? Dont know on where they do put up that rational thinking on trying out to balance in between risks and reward.
Dont know on where they do put up their brains on trying out to escalate whether its worth or not. Gambling with loan money is never been wise in the first place.

Well, it's OK that you used 99.9999 percent and not the word "all", because personally, I believe that it is very possible for a gambler to leave gambling and never try gambling again, ever, if he or she hits it big and manages to build a good business with the money.

At least, for a fact, I trust myself that, if luck locates me and I win up to a hundred thousand dollars from gambling tomorrow, I may never gamble again to be honest, except for whatever reason, I mismanaged the money, which is not possible at all, or that for whatever reason, my business isn't going well, which also Is not possible.

Overall, any gambler who is not addicted to gambling does have the potential and capability to quit gambling and never gamble again, but then, the need for more and more money will be the only reason why the gambler will keep coming back and back, over and over again.
I see things in the same way, while I do gamble from time to time if I am lucky enough to get a massive win you can be sure that despite my feelings of gratitude towards gambling due to such a happy occurrence, I will make sure to not gamble again, since I know very well that one of the most common mistakes gamblers make is to let greed control them, and they keep gambling hoping to get even more money from the casinos and lose it all during that process.
Well for me, I may not take a total exit from gambling if I make a big win or hit a jackpot but I may likely take a short break from active gambling and for that, I may take a month or two to enjoy my winning and also limits my loses at all time, because by continues playing,  you may end in more loses at some point, then also greed may set in at some point in the process of being actively playing while you already made a winning.

Sometimes, what leads gamblers to lose more than they win is their inability to defeat their greed tendency and also chase a particular direction thinking that the result will repeat itself.
Failing on control your greed on the time on where its on peak specially when we are on winning side, then it cant really be avoided that we would be thinking that we should be playing
even more to get more winning. We are just humans then it would really be just that so normal that  you would really be thinking up this way or the emotions would really be kicking in on the time that we are in on such condition on which its inevitable. It would really be just that a matter of choice on how someone would really be that taking up corresponding actions basing up on the situation.
You would really be finding up yourself getting wrecked in longer runs if you do let your greed control you and this is something a very common scenario on gambling field.

We all know the recent issue about the mixer status here in the forum. Crypto casino is also being use for money laundering by some criminals that’s why every casino has AML policy.

I’m just curious what will be the fate of crypto casino once money laundering activity from mixer will jump to casino now that mixer will not be advertised here which means it has less exposure. Is there any possibility that crypto casino will be seized by the government just like what happened to mixers in case they failed to screen the laundering activity?
No, it cant happen! We know that gambling businesses are really that complying on governments rules and this is why they do really strictly implying those kind of terms and conditions whenever they are dealing something with those huge deposits or whatsoever correlated things about it on which there's always a tendency that it could happen in the platform but since these
companies are really that centralized or regulated by government rules terms then those money launderers wont really be considering on making use of gambling
platforms as their mediums and to consider out that 1x wagering with your deposit might sounds less but its not something that you could really be able to get that confident on.
