881  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Errol Spence vs Keith Thurman on: April 29, 2023, 12:22:27 PM
Congratulations to Errol Spence, he is now inactive for a year. Maybe it is best for boxing if he stays inactive for a while. If there is no Thurman or Crawford as his next opponent, he should be stripped of his WBC. I doubt he will face Jaron Ennis after a year of inactivity, so hopefully, the IBF belt will strip him too. The WBA also has a regular champ in Stanionis which is enough to warrant as a mandatory but corrupt Mendoza is buying Spence some time and mandates a fight against Vergil Ortiz. I really hate seeing Ortiz and Stanionis fighting each other at this early stage of their careers. Maybe Ortiz should pursue the WBO belt. I want to see Ortiz, Stanionis, and Ennis become champions and then face each other in unification bouts.

He's already inactive for a year already since 16th of April because that was his last fight versus Yordenis Ugas.

As of this point, I don't know what to say anymore because the boxing industry is getting more and more corrupt as instead of giving the people the entertainment for the fight they wanted, these sanctioning bodies are even under someone else's payroll to help a boxer retain their belt for a much longer time without having any fights in the process. This should change because people will lost slowly lost interest towards the boxers and its industry if this issue drags on.

Yeah right, he's a defending champ and he should let someone to try to take it and strip it from him. He should be fighting now
to defend his belt and give the entertainment to all the fans and viewers who love seeing his greatness.

following you with your statement regarding to those part of organization who keep him away from any big fights that will test him when protecting the belts, Crawford or Thurman might give him a hard time for sure.

But still, there's no schedule, or any forced attempts from the organization to deal him to whoever deserves the chance of winning the title.

As I previously pointed out, if the Lakers won't do something to aggressively contain Desmond Bane and Ja Morant, in Game 6, Memphis has a chance to tie the series and force a deciding Game 7 back at the Memphis home court which will be critical for the Lakers.

And guess what, here in Game 6 which is currently in Halftime, the Lakers are doing a good job containing both Bane and Morant and surprisingly these 2 Memphis Gunners just finished with 5 and 7 points respectively before halftime. Both also not showing a good stroke at their field goal attempts and having a bad night. Who knows though that they might be able to bounce back in the second half.

The Lakers are now up at 17 points. The score is 59-42 at halftime.

Yeah, it seems that the Lakers have a good chance to win the series and go on with the playoffs. They not only contained Bane and Morant, but AD is on fire in this game as well.

As for the Warriors, it was a disappointing lost at home, we thought that they are going to sweep (meaning winning the last 4 games), but they allow the Kings to steal this one at their home court. Now, they are tied, and this is the first series in this playoff that we are going to see a game 7.

The Lakers became the problem in the West right after the moment they made that trade and after a couple of games with DLo, Vando, and Beasley on the roster, the fans started to realize that the Lakers are now a playoff contender.
Judging on the Lakers performance from this series, I think they are capable of making it to the Finals. I mean when they play great, they play great both offensively and defensively. It looks like they made a re-run with how strong their defense was in 2020.

On the other hand, the Warriors and the Kings really had a long and exhausting game 7. This is gonna be good game to watch as they are down with the final showdown. Who ever gets the W will definitely have a good series against the Lakers.

The Nuggets and the Suns will have a great series too. The playoffs are just getting more interesting, I haven't seen a lot of upset in a while now.

With the way Lakers are playing, they are simply becoming deadlier than all the players are adjusting from one another,
unlike before, where most of the time LeBron handles the ball.

The rotations now are really good with all the players inside the court are touching the ball and they keep it moving to find the open man.

I like to the way they play the game, all are options and all are capable of shooting the ball, the good factors also is when you
see LeBron and DLo' attacking both have good options to drop the ball to AD or kick it out to open man.
883  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Stephen Fulton vs. Naoya Inoue | WBC & WBO 122 lbs bout | July 25 on: April 28, 2023, 02:32:38 PM

But the question is, do we think that it will boils down or at least the fight going to full 12 rounds? Fulton survived against the volume punching of Brandon Figueroa. But this is a different fighter in Inoue so we don't know if the fight will last or Inoue's power will go with him in this new division.

Most likely he can't survive up to 12 rounds judging from the past few opponents of Inoue and now that he increase his weight, I'm sure he is stronger than before and his punches are more powerful, I just can't say if his speed is still impossible to dodge but if that is the case, the chance of Fulton to win reach the 12 rounds of exchanging with Inoue is almost zero let alone to win this fight. He just needs to train well and is expected to take more powerful punches if he is ready and knows what to do after that, his chance will increase and might gonna pull a devastating knockout against Inoue.

He needs to add more trainings in terms of counter punches and not just an ordinary counter but a solid one that can also
bring Inoue down. If he adjusts and brings something like this, the chance of winning is possible.

It's not hard for Fulton as he's also a champ and he just need to add on his aim in bringing down Inoue, upset the heavy favorite will increase
the hypes of his name from this sport.

Looking to see a good and clean fight between these two champ, more on toe-to-toe confrontations for a possible KO!

Miami winning over Bucks is a great proof that basketball is an amazing game, the best record team of this season, ended up losing to 8th seed with one guys sheer willpower and amazing talent. Jimmy Butler just dissected all of Bucks team, obviously Giannis being injured helped Miami seal this win.

That injury indeed gave the Miami Heat a two game advantage because when Giannis was injured in Game 1 after having a bad fall on his back, that pave a way for the opposing team to dominate the game as just like I've mentioned, Giannis skipped two games because of it. Fortunately, the Bucks hustled to force a victory even without Giannis in Game 2 which tied the series but after that game, the Heat mainly Butler figured out the Bucks gameplay and didn't gave them a chance anymore.



That injury gives Miami a good edge against Giannis-less Bucks, they manage to take care of what kind of game plan
to use and execute the right play to win the game.

Butler did not disappoint the fans, both game 4 and game 5, showing a monstrous back-to-back game and literally put the team in his shoulders.

though we all witness the adjustments from everyone, all deserve the credit as it's really a game of trust and determination
to disappoint the top seeder.
885  Economy / Gambling / Re: What sort of Weekly & Monthly Bonuses do Bitcointalk members want? on: April 28, 2023, 01:32:40 PM
Weekly promotion or bonuses is what I like and what's on my mind is something like a rake back or free bet depending on how much you wager on that week and of course you should have a wagering requirement as many users would probably take advantage of that kind of bonus considering that it is a weekly bonus.
Yeah rake back is more better than a deposit bonus since the rules on rack back are a little flexible compared to the on bonuses, so at that many prefer a no bonus on deposit so that their can withdrawal their winnings without any condition to wager a certain amount.

I personally do not like deposit bonuses and because of that I will not get attracted to any form of bonus no matter what they're promised what i normally do is to skip bonuses and play with my money along the way this is the best.

I do participate from time to time in deposit bonuses as it can be interesting depending on the wagering requirement. Sometimes it is 30x and while that is still extremely hard to do, it is possible to do. Best bonuses for me are weekly or monthly bonuses without any wagering requirement.
There is no problem with bonuses and as a matter of truth bonus is the thing that attracts most of us to a casino if we can manage with the bonus requirement then there is no problem at all.
The only way I can see some form of problem with bonus is when the conditions attached to them is quite difficult to meet by gamblers who use those bonuses, I do prefer a weekly rake back as a bonus compared to a deposit bonus.
There are some bonuses that are always very good but the requirements to acquire them are strong. Personally, I always look for a way to have a bonus that does not require so much, because that becomes a double-edged sword, first I cannot acquire it and if I acquire it, I lose everything in the attempt to get the bonus and then if it is achieved, the requirements that are for the withdrawal come, these things are what are always looked for to be able to understand a good bonus, that is why it is always necessary to read everything, each term conditions.


I see your point and you need to understand it well. If you fail to read the terms to gain the bonus and what are
the requirements, then you may end up like this.

Though casino most of the time provides that and it's up to our laziness to read it and fully understand what is behind the bonuses.

If you read and you follow your instinct to continue the chase once you win, that added to your enjoyment, having the
added perks and winning the money so good to withdraw once you are done playing, right?
886  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamble Responsibly on: April 27, 2023, 02:16:38 PM
Its sad that there are people who do still considering on signing up with them and make out some immediate deposited despite of the reputation that they do have just because they had missed out on reading up

about them if these people arent really making out some further research and this is why you should really be that mindful when it comes to your actions and also its not really that something that time consuming
when it comes to making up some research.It is really just a matter of research and you would be able to make yourself get saved for possible scamming scenario and able to avoid up on possible
situation like this.
Being responsible on whatever reactions you would be making is something that recommendable on this space and even into others. There are really just people who are really that lazy.
It still happens to some people. Perhaps, they are the ones who are always trying to chase the bonuses and promotions the casino gives. Well, some are lucky to get it, but more fail to. If they don't research to find the right casino, they will end up in the wrong casino, ready to take all their money, including any winnings they could have previously. That's why they have to learn to be responsible for anything that can happen because playing gambling uses their own money, and if they lose, they don't have to regret it because they should already know the risks.

Twice with the risk when playing or using trusted gambling site, when you are after with the bonuses and you forget to
do your research,

when you deposit your money and win the chance of not being paid or having problem withdrawing your money
is very possible with casino site that's not willing to pay or scamming their users.

It's your obligations to review and make sure that you are willing to take that risk in case a situation like this will happen to you.

Kanina lang, grabe mga scammer nagte-text sakin mga nagpapanggap na mga taga bangko pero halata naman na manloloko kasi barabara na mga link binibigay nila sa akin. May nagpapakilala na taga BDO, wala naman akong account doon. Parang todo kayod din sila kanina eh. Dahil nga na-extend and registration, feeling ko natuwa itong mga scammer kasi mas humaba pa panahon nilang makapanloko.

Ito na lumabas na ang desisyon at extended ng 90 days ang sim card registration https://www.google.com/amp/s/newsinfo.inquirer.net/1760774/sim-registration-extended-for-90-days-doj/amp

Marami ang nag request nito at for sure papakinggan yan ng mga assigned government bodies ang suggestion ng mga tao since pulitiko mga yan at gusto nila ang atensyon ng mga tao. Mainam narin ang action nato para sa susunod na matapos ulit ang deadline wala nang ma e rason pa ang ilan nating kababayan kung bakit di pa sila registered.
Si BBM nag approve na i-extend. Dapat talaga hindi na i-extend yan pero last na sana na extension yan at katuwang ng mga Telcos at local government, may mga assigned na helpdesk na para sa mga hindi alam paano magparehistro.

IMO po dapat lang po talaga e extend yung sim registration. I know na sari-sari ang reaction ng mga tao sa naging decision ng gobyerno at alam nyo yung pinaka pangit na narinig ko na rason sa mga tumututol sa extension? Mga rebelde at scammers daw ang kadalasan nag re-request nito. Well, most of these people na nag co-comment ng ganito ay kadalasan yung nasa malalaking syudad. Me, I'm from a small town na malayo sa malalaking syudad at talagang nakikita ko yung mga indigenous people na kahit isang ID wala sila, kung meron man ay hindi naman nererecognize as valid ID. And yes po gumagamit din po sila ng mobile phone mainly para sa mga maliliit nilang negosyo/produkto na binababa galing sa bundok patungo sa market.
Ambagal pa naman kumuha ng valid ID dito sa pinas lol at lahat may bayad na hindi bababa sa 250 pesos including fares.
I am also hoping na isang extension lang yung gagawin nila, itong buong 3 months sana e focus nila na tulongan yung mga hirap mag register at yung government along with the telco reps na mismo yung mag reach out sa mga far flung areas.

Maganda yang sinabi mo na sana maaddress ng maayos kasi hindi naman yan sabi sabi lang karanasan talaga yan nung mga kababayan
nating hirap talaga sa pagkuha ng requirements, hindi naman sa kasi talaga lahat tutol lang.

Meron talagang mga kababayan natin na kainlangan maalalayan sa pagpaparehistro ng SIM at itong extension eh sana bigyan na ng
mas malawak na informational drive para talagang masuyod yung mga lugar at mga kababayan nating hindi pa talaga nakakapag parehistro.

Mabigyan ng mas malawak na kaalaman sa kahalagahan ng pagsunod sa naitakdang batas na ito.
888  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: April 27, 2023, 01:03:42 PM

I very much agree on your statement mate, perhaps Ryan Garcia could be more lethal and dangerous in the upper division rather than forcing his own weight to fit in 135. But before all of that, he should try and improve his fighting style first because even if he can survive a few fights against the lower ranks, he will still find himself in the very same position where he can't really touch the champions because he lacks something. It's time for him to move-on and learn the lesson that was taught to him, and equip it to be a better boxer in his new journey.

If he didn't lose that last fight he wouldn't think to get to the upper weight class because he was feeling comfortable there with his speed but when he fought Davis, he realized that his past opponents were just a joke. now that he realized he needed to get up there, he should also train as much as he can to get back his honor and gain some momentum to bounce back again. He is such a charismatic boxer unlike anybody else and he can sell his fights easily, he just needs to give some more, especially in his defensive strategies.

We can't really say that, in this last two fights prior to Tank, he has been fighting in the catch weight as well, as high as almost 140 lbs in the Tagoe fight. So it's obvious that he can't really go to 135 lbs or will have a hard time and at a disadvantage at this weight.

So maybe even if he won against Davis, he will have to get up in weight classes. Ryan is still young and so his body is growing naturally and with his height, definitely he can't stay any longer at 135 lbs and sooner or later will go to Junior-Welterweight.

I follow that last statement, he still young and his body is building naturally. It's tough to fight when you are not in your
comfortable position. I'm not saying that it's the reason why he loses the fight against Davis, but at some point it affects him.

Let see what's the plan for him and how he will comeback, it's just a good hype for his name, another cherry pick fight that will result
to hype his name back.

889  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: April 27, 2023, 12:02:48 PM
This will be a great series. The Heat might still be the underdog, but only slightly. I'm rooting for them to win because they beat the number one team, so there's no reason they can't beat the NYK.

I'm waiting for the betting odds to come out. My initial guess is that they will be very attractive for the Heat. Hopefully, that will come true.
Their only problem is the options for their offense. Bam Adebayo should always play like how he did today. I like how he played today making a triple double. Whatever Spoelstra did, it is a high-level kind of play. Put Bam in a position where he could see everybody and be the playmaker. This isn't far from what Jokic is doing.

The odds will probably be a close one. A +2 or +3 only for the Miami Heat because the Knicks might miss Randle.

The connections between Bam and Butler are something that we enjoy earlier. Dropping the ball to Butler is very effective,
aside from that, those clear looks with his moving teammates.

These adjustments really give Bam an important role, creating the plays and fighting for the offensive rebounds in case his teammates missed the shot.

This second round will be the test between experienced and newcomer, determination will be the edge in winning the series for sure.

Looking like the Boston Celtics are going to be sending the Atlanta Hawks fishing tonight. They’re up by more than 10 in the third now and Atlanta seems to be accepting their fate. First game of elimination night looks like we may have our first elimination. Next up will be the Nuggets trying to put away the Timberwolves for the season.

I was expecting the same thing because out of the 3 games that happened earlier, I got the Boston Celtics on my sure list to eliminate the Atlanta Hawks and proceed into the 2nd round where they will wait and face the winner of Bucks vs Miami up next. But what happened was really unexpected, Tatum didn't contribute that much compared to his usual digits every night but at least Brown took the helm but even that didn't stopped the Hawks from winning the game.

Ice Trae did it again, I know it's not yet a guarantee but by the looks of it, including the situation of Milwaukee Bucks, we might be seeing the underdogs who played in the recent play-in tournament confronting each other in the East semis.

Trae's timing to hit those big shots gives them the win and lets them escape for an early exit. The win gives them another chance
and continue to chase to move up in the next round.

Tatum productions are missing here. I'm not sure why they didn't keep the ball to manage their decent lead under 2 minutes of the game.

On the opposite side, Trae takes charge and hits those important 3's to snatch the game away from the home team.

Still the Binance Smart Chain was replaced by another technology,So the demand of the BNB was high.Because for the transaction fee,we need of the BNB for the every transaction charges.Till the demand of the coin is their,we need to wait for the pump in the BNB price.The next pump of the Bnb will be 2000 dollars,So hold your BNB till your get good profit from the coin.This year end will be the best pump in the price of the BNB.Hold for the good profit from the BNB and use the profit to reinvest the money to another cryptocurrency.Reinvest of the profit from the cryptocurrency is essential one.

If you believe that the value can reach up to that high, then better to keep collecting more coins if you have a good amount of
spare, I see your point as the Binance chain is really usable for those who are using the chain.

Low transaction fees and with the help of those old and new developers who keep using the chain, the value of this asset may really pump high.

892  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Tank Davis vs. Ryan Garcia betting and discussion (May, 2023) on: April 26, 2023, 03:47:42 PM
It's not that Ryan will be affected or has been affected by this big lost, for sure he can make a comeback again as he have said in the post fight interview. And he has give us a hint that he might go up in weight class as obviously he looks drain at 136 lbs + rehydration clause of 10 pounds in fight night. Might take some time for him to recovery, but he promise that he will be back. Rematch with Tank is out of the picture as 135 lbs.

Is a rematch still possible? I thought there was a clause or something that stated that no rematch would happen if Davis wins.

Yes, you're right. That specific rematch clause was just a one-sided clause because that can only be activated if Gervonta Davis gets defeated versus Ryan Garcia, which as we all know didn't happen, so that might not be possible as for now. But in the coming years, whether if it's at 135 or 140, I think it is possible if fate permits to have these two meet again in one same ring.

The possibility of seeing them again is not far. Garcia just needs to continue working with his skills, enhancing everything to be more ready
when the time comes and opportunity is open to fight back with Davis.

He's still young and he can use that as an advantage to keep doing what he thinks is best for his career, the lost to Davis can serve as learning process.

He needs to analyze and practice whatever he thinks he is still missing. That way, he will be able to adjust and improve.

I am betting for the Denver Nuggets, 1 most win and they are advancing to the finals,


It opened at -8.5, but now it has moved to -9.5.

I think this will be a blowout win by the Nuggets. They can't miss the opportunity to close the series, and obviously, they were the better team here. The Nuggets have covered the spread in Game 1 and Game 2, which means they played better at home. It will be hard for the Timberwolves to come back since the pressure on them is very high. Even if the line moves to -10, I still find it attractive.

Wolves manage to cover the handicap. I don't know what happened with the Nuggets. It's already under 1 minute mark if I remember
It is right they are still leading 6 points.

I was under the impression that they'll be able to cover the spread, but sad to say those unnecessary mistake keeps the Wolves close.

almost an OT it's just experienced 2 time MVP use his skills to separate, Congrats to whoever takes the risk of taking the handicap for Wolves,
well covered with only 3 points deficit.
894  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Alejandro Santiago for WBC bantamweight title on: April 25, 2023, 05:23:40 PM

I agree, which is why he is pursuing even at his age now to become a world champion once again because he can't just leave the division mainly now that there's nobody dominating it. Without Inoue in the same division, he is surely the right boxer who should own it now but I'm just quite confused because they should've made an announcement this month regarding the details and the date of the fight.

There might be waiting for the right timing because if they happened to choose a date that will conflict with other star boxers, their earnings will not be that high. Anyway, this is not really a problem for them since they know what they're doing but the problem here is with the boxer because as much as they delayed it more, the chance for the boxers to get injured will increase and it will probably cost them much because the fight will gonna be canceled if that's gonna happen. They should also consider the age of Donaire, he has only a little time left they really need to rush this fight.

We cannot say they are delaying it because we have no idea when this fight will happen.

We are just speculating that it will happen this year, but until an official announcement has been made, we should not expect it to happen soon.

Promoters will ensure that they make money on this fight. We know that lower weight divisions don't attract crowds compared to higher weight divisions, so timing is very important to ensure that this will result in a win-win situation for both boxers and promoters of the fight.

I agree to that, there's no schedule yet as promoters need to be careful if they wanted to make decent profits from this fight,
not so many are interested in this kind of fight, so better to schedule it away from any other big events.

There might be some fans who want to see Donaire back inside the ring and re-try to claim another belt, like what you said more on timing.

And the way both camps will negotiate and start promoting the possible date of their upcoming fight.

That has been a major problem to newbie in cryptocurrency industries market, when market start pumping as a sign of Bull run, which not really sure, they will jump in and start buying new coin's that just listen without making a proper research about the coins and end up being dump. While the best time to buy Alt-coins is during the bear market and also coin that has already listed and established in the ecosystem.

A so-called investor always wanted to ride along the pump, but like what you said doing it without proper education
in terms of the project that they will invest their money ends up losing their investment.

You need to know the value of the project before you engage yourself and put your money into it. With proper knowledge, you can control
any kind of emotions that may take place during the market run.

Always be furious with new project though not limited to new but also with old that being pump during the bull season.

Yep, disappointed ako sa decision na ito, malamang sa malamang iilan lang ang percentage ang nag register at di pasok sa expected numbers nila. As if maiiba yan kahit na mag extend pa ng 1 year if di interested mga tao for whatever reasons na ipinag lalaban nila. Eh iilang mga country na ang na meron ganyang policy/law dito lang talaga backwards ang pag iisip, tapus pag na scam or na hack mga e-wallets nila puro sisi sa iba.


Mahirap na talagang makipagtalo sa mga taong kakaiba ang pag iisip patungkol sa batas na to'

kaya sang ayon ako sa sinabi mo, kahit abutin  pa ng taon yung extension ng registration sa mga sarado ang isip hindi pa rin magpaparehisro yan.

Kaya lang medyo kailangan pa rin mag adjust ng gobyerno at kailngan bigyan pa ng panahon yung mga ibang kababayan natin na hindi pa talaga nakakaunawa ng pangangailangang nag pag rehistro ng Sim nila.

For the record, Lebron is the oldest player in history to tally a 20 point-20 rebound game in a playoff, and it's the first one since Shaq way back in 2004. It looks like we saw a prime Lebron playing just a few hours ago.

LeBron has activated playoff mode and he still has that winning mentality that makes him the king of the NBA. The Lakers are playing very well and showing the Grizzlies that they may have underestimated their opponent. It would be interesting to see if this reality check will calm down Memphis and give them a better perspective of the playoffs.

Dynasty will be over soon!

Seems that he takes the challenge seriously, and even without the words he is showing it by actions, we just see a playoff
monsters who take care of the game in last minutes of the game.

I like how he answers his critics and the challenge from the young trash talkers of Memphis, not by words but by the game he's playing now.

One more win for the Lakers and this series will be over. They will beat the top 2 seeds from the west.

Here are the details.
https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/nba-investigating-hawks-dejounte-murray-for-making-contact-with-referee-in-game-4-loss-to-celtics-per-report/
And here is the clip about what he did which many of us may have not seen because he did it after the buzzer sounded in the 4th quarter.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2T-12HY7B1M

2 possible outcomes. Fine or suspension if proven he said or did something bad against the referee. Watching the clip though, he did make contact with the referee so there's a high chance suspension will happen after the investigation is complete.
Why would players do this? They already lost, forget what the referees called and bounce back in the next game. Now, he just jeopardized their chance to avoid a possible 4-1 in Boston.
That's just too foolish of him and this is not the first according to sources. He was also fined $20,000 back when he was with the Spurs for throwing the ball at the referees' legs. February 2022.

Yeah, if the investigation will find weight with his action a big possibility that he will be suspended and instead of helping his team,
he can't do anything if he will sit and watch the game.

Like what you said, it's better to let the game go if it was a loss, then move forward and try to bounce back the next game.

With the video probably even I'm not an expert, I can see that there's a good reason to suspend him.

I've had a friend who was a chronic addict to gambling, I've had the opportunity of advising him several times, he does give a listen ear, and will even agree with you that all you said is true, and that he would try his best to adjust, or quit.

But the problem then is that, all those talks and advices, always end at where it was discussed, after we part, he will continue with his gambling, normally like before or even worst than he used to...
One time, he told me that he appreciates me for all my care and advices, and wishes to do all that I told him to do, but always find it difficult to get himself to do it.

So sometimes. It's not really their fault that they are arrogant, stubborn or so, addiction is really a strong force, that sometimes, takes extra ordinary strength to break free from, and such strength is very rare.
It requires a great deal of effort to break away from such addictive patterns, and many do not find the strength to do it until they hit rock bottom and they lose their jobs, family, friends, health and even their freedom, and there are even cases in which losing literally everything is not enough and those people get completely consumed by their addiction, and when that happens there is nothing you can do as no matter how much you may want to help this person nothing will work if they are not willing to help themselves.

Yeah, same deal with limiting your funds and participation with gambling. If you failed to control yourself and become an addictive
gambler, there are many things that will be suffered.

It's tough to beat this addiction as it's needed to have huge determination to control and to avoid to keep moving forward, addicted gambler need mental help.

more on self-control and how you deal with your finances, it's a responsibility that you need to take care to prevent further damages in life.

There is no fixed amount of income that can be earned in any casino whether it is crypto or not. Because you are not an employee there. Then again, this is a gambling, gaming world where you gamble the money you have with no certainty whether it will grow or not. You should already know this. You know that winning here is based on luck and bad luck. Even in trading, it's hard to maintain the 100$ daily income, how about gambling.

Same deal with trading where risk is high. You need to understand both the possibility of winning and losing your money.
if there's a sure way to deal with gaining $100, you won't be seeing a lot of casinos now.

Casino is a business and for sure before they put their business up, they already know the advantage and they will keep using that to earn more.

Keep in mind that in gambling, there's always win and lose a matter of luck that will generate you some decent profits.
