Good day crypto Famz, I will like to ask gamblers this question, is there any gamblers on here that keeps record of their wins and losses? Do you keep a record of all the pennies you use to gamble and also the result?

Someone whom we both have this discuss yesterday said this is a good practice, I still don't see a reason why because I don't keep record of my losses, I tend to only remember when I win a certain amount, if its good enough you won't easily forget, but apart from this I don't care.

So Famz, is there any benefits when one keeps record on their losses and wins? Is there any thing to gain when you write down all the money you spent in gambling and also how much you have made so far?

Not keeping records, does this make me a bad gambler?

It is a working strategy I see and cost-free but of course, it needs dedication from the gambler who wants to stop their addiction to gambling, or else, it is useless. Cross-addiction, getting addicted to other stuff like sports could really forget gambling totally and interest. But as I've said, it all depends on the person who wants to change because many have tried but many have failed as well. Generally, it is all about controlling ourselves but with the help and strong support of the family members and friends, that is somewhat possible.

Thank you for sharing your experience OP. I never gamble during work hours and rightfully so as there is almost always some work that would need my attention.
Gambling in the workplace could definitely lead to a decline in your productivity at work and being your primary source of income, the effects that would follow wouldn’t be pleasant. I think gambling in your workplace could lead you into financial ruin even faster than playing physically at a casino as you’re at work most days of the week and could likely gamble each day you go in for work.

When you’re out of money to gamble, your work buddies that may or may not be your gambling buddies could lend you some money to pay back when you receive your paycheck. Sllowly, your debt begins to accumulate and then, no one is willing to lend to you anymore. You head over to the bank or worse, a loan shark to borrow money. Your financial woes would only get worse.

There is a time and a place for everything. You certainly shouldn’t be gambling when you should be trying to earn your paycheck.

Yes I agree with you, that Neymar may not be plying anymore when the 2026 WC is held. The reason is quite basic and one of them when he often suffered injuries throughout his career and that alone made him give up and decide to retire.
Brazil we know that they are the creators of a very potential young seed, and it would be nice now that they are looking in that direction. Maybe in the last few years they have declined a little bit and can't compete anymore, they have to realize that.
Next year they will also have a new coach, the one who is in charge of Real Madrid now, Anceloti C.

Everyone who played slots before has the same chance of winning. But after they play for a while, it will be seen who is lucky and who is unlucky. Those who are lucky are the ones who can win and some can win a lot of money.

And for people who lose playing slots, they will become even more emotional and still want to get their win. They don't realize that they are unlucky and should stop gambling immediately. Another day, they will be lucky when playing slots again, which means they can win a lot of money from slot games.

First thing first is that, an unemployed person should not engage him or herself in gambling, since one rule in gambling states that people should only gamble with as much funds as they can afford to lose, every penny is important to an unemployed person, so i see no reason why such persons should engage themselves in gambling to the extent of even getting addicted.

And secondly, talking about the low cost and effective solutions to gambling addiction, I would say that one way is for the addicted gambler to find some else doing that will keep him or her so busy that they will hardly remember to gamble, and by the time such a person finally have time to rest which could trigger the urge to gamble, the person would have become very tired that he or she will just doze and sleep off due to lack of physical and mental strength to gamble.

The above, i personally believe can be a free and very effective way any gambling addict can cure him or herself without having to spend so much on therapy or whatever.

Despite his age, Cristiano Ronaldo scored more than 40 goals in 2023. In the match they played against Damac, they won 2-1 with 2 magnificent free kick goals. Talisca scored an unexpectedly great shot from the first free kick. The second free kick goal came from another master, Cristiano Ronaldo. Here, a player from Damac did not jump, the ball went over him and into the net. If you are defending, you should take precautions when taking a free kick.

Right. Basically the act of taking risks is a gamble right. But the key difference lies in the approach and mindset. When it comes to investing in cryptocurrency, it's about making informed decisions based on research and a well-thought-out strategy and usually investors aim for sustainable growth over the long term. On the other hand, gambling often relies on chance and random outcomes. While both activities involve risk, investing focuses on managing and mitigating those risks through knowledge and strategy. So taking risks in investing is more calculated and grounded in analysis than the purely chance-driven nature of gambling. OP did his part, you really cant explain further to close minded people, they have to understand it theirselves.

thinking everyone has the same luck is a really mathematical way to see the world but I don't think it works like that, in my youth I met a guy who was younger than me and used to win almost all raffles and "bingos" he joined
he got lots of televisions, travels, house utensils and all kind of stuff by winning these contests all based in luck, no skill

I don't talk to him anymore so I'm not sure if he's still lucky or not but it was definitely not normal

quite nice to see though

Sure deal! even how careful you are it's not an assurance that you can escape or you can avoid addiction, there are factors that may lead you to become addicted, most common is the enjoyment and fun that you gain at the beginning of your game or participation, thru time you see your adrenaline and appetite increase from that point, chances that you may exceed and may lead to addiction is possible, and there's no exemption on it.

Apart from others, it is just for fun; probably for others, the reason they keep coming back is because they think that when they play again they will be able to make up for what they lost the last day they gambled. There are others who may also think that they will get lucky that they are this time and will get the jackpot.

These kinds of thoughts are often the reason for other gamblers and those who have addictions; their bodies are looking for them; it has become a routine, so it is not easy to get rid of them, just like that, of course. They don't think about whether they will lose again, and their thoughts are all positive.

Argentina are currently in first place in the qualifiers, which is not surprising after they became world champions last season. But what is surprising is that the second place is not Brazil but Uruguay. Uruguay, Brazil and Venezuela have seven points each in the standings and it is a serious competition between the teams. Colombia by the way has six points, which may cause problems for the leaders in the future. Probably we are waiting for an interesting qualification.

For the life of me I never end up trusting governments when its about things like this, I just end up trying to find some conspiracy theories in order to make it not make sense at all. Sure "a government put regulations on exchanges to protect the customers" sounds like a normal thing but we are so not used to normal things that I end up thinking that we could be maybe seeing something much larger at play. Something like these regulations require some sort of payment to government to check it or maybe it requires them to pay more taxes because they are labeled differently and all that, I keep trying to see if there is an angle of it where government gets away with something.

How can one make a successful career in gambling when it is a game of chances like it's under probability that you may or may not win. How can you know what you're doing when you ain't the one that have the events sometimes predictions are made through previous performances then how will you know that a particular event will keep on winning all the time which is not possible because if it is possible everyone will actually become winners and the platform might shutdown due to severe winnings

They knew he easily gets injured, maybe it is why some other European clubs were not too interested in signing him, but Al Hilal sure did not care about it too much because they signed Neymar for more than the benefit he can bring while he plays, they also signed him for when he is not playing. Just having the name Neymar associated with the club, improves the status of the club and the league. Al Hilal are first on the table and can maintain it if they can continue to win games which they can do. The next game they will play will be against Al Khaleej who are eleventh on the league and should not be too much problem for them to win.

We all can remember it. The only way we can forget it is if we have an amnesia but I think this is a rare condition. The only problem is many of us are hard-headed and can't seem to learn from our past mistakes. Gambling for a while can also mean for a short period of time, so why stop immediately? But if you mean if we are already gambling for a long time and it was mostly the disadvantage is the one that we experience, then yeah. We should stop now even if it's already a little late.

This is where the gambling addict comes about, they make gambling their life, their happiness, their source of income to the extent that if they don’t gamble for a day, they will just fee as if something is missing in them which is entirely what change their mood and they will look for a way for them to make sure they place one single bet every single day.

Given gambling too much of an attention can lead one to some kind of emotional breakdown which is really not good and anyone who have gotten to that stage usual finds it difficult to put an end to it, it’s because of how addicts behaves towards their gambling activities that makes people always discouraged other from getting involved in gambling thinking that anyone who is gambling might also end up the same way that those guys on the street is making everyone see gambling as something that promotes crimes and violence.

Looks like Trump has received an upper hand now in the polls, which is not surprising given the condition at southern border. But I am not sure why Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is still being taken seriously by the pollsters. He has already announced that he will run as an independent and has gone out of the Democrat primaries. BTW, if Kennedy runs as an independent, then he is more likely to hurt Trump rather than Biden. Some of the GOP politicians have already started attacking Kennedy, for his decision to stop participating in the Democrat primaries.

I do not know if the Australian government can achieve a balance between consumer protection and innovation in blockchain technology, because it is difficult to formulate regulatory laws that protect the consumer without at the same time affecting companies and innovation.

It would be very good to formulate such a law, but that is not easy because consumer protection will be by enforcing KYC and AML, and this is something that many users who like to maintain their privacy do not prefer. This also requires imposing strict regulations on companies that may limit the companies’ ability On innovation.

But let's wait and hope they can find a suitable formula.
