Are coin send with wrong network actually lost?

The casino should have access to the deposited coins. Even with different networks, the deposit address will remain the same. However, they may require certain considerations to continue assisting their customers in crediting the deposits made.
I have never experienced such a situation. It is important to double-check all transactions that will be made.

That can be very hard to maintain because of the euphoria that comes with winning many people lose control in that moment and convince themselves they can win even more which often leads to losing everything
Respect for people who can control the emotions

It's not just the euphoria of victory that causes gamblers to lose control. Essentially, defeat also makes gamblers lose control, leading them to have the desire to deposit more to recover their losses.
Emotional control in gambling is related to the experiences and habits of the gambler. This can be trained, and there is really no reason for the gambler to make the same mistakes and keep repeating them.

No one is to blame for their actions except the player themselves. Of course, it's always difficult to admit your own mistakes. Many people find this difficult.

I think most addicts have issues related to admitting mistakes. Losing gamblers will consider gambling unfair and position themselves as victims. They will return to gambling because they feel they must gamble and cannot leave it. Gambling addiction is certainly caused by the behavior of the gamblers themselves. In any case, gamblers cannot blame gambling for their own irresponsible actions.
4  Economy / Speculation / Re: Volatile week on: Today at 03:32:58 PM
This week was supposed to be volatile due to the FOMC, but things weren't as volatile as I expected. From the current market conditions, the effect of the news will take a few more days to be reflected in the market. I expect 113k to be raided before we see price get to 118k But in a way I feel the market could prove me wrong and head for 118k next without raiding 113k.

What's your take on the current market situation?

Now the price of Bitcoin has even dropped by more than #113k. Trading volume seems to have increased significantly in one day. I hope your speculation will be accurate enough for the next upward movement after the current price drop. The decline that has occurred is still normal, but let's just wait and see whether the drop will continue below $110k, or conversely, will strengthen soon.

It is correct that Paris Saint-Germain will face Marseille in their domestic league after winning their group opening match against Atalanta in this new season's UEFA Champions League. There is a possibility of stormy rain in this French league match between these two teams, which may result in the match between PSG and Olympique de Marseille football team not taking place on the field. But even then maybe these two teams can prepare for the next match because the Parisians have already started to show their dominance because they didn't have Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue when they faced Atalanta, yet their attacking prowess remained intact in the UCL match against this Italian League team.

At the beginning of this season, Marseille's performance is not like last season. The results from the first 4 matches are not good enough for them, so PSG is certainly quite comfortable playing aggressively at the start of the season.
I think PSG will continue their winning streak in the next match. The worst possibility for PSG might be a draw, but it will all depend on the strategy and preparation carried out by Marseille.
6  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: not-a-luxury casino on: Today at 02:24:46 PM
does the comfort of a casino add to how much you want to gamble? i have been thinking that the services of a casino to make you feel as comfortable as possible are they only tactics to keep you in longer inside the casino and spend more?

but what about those not so expensive casino or betting sites? there’s usually no air conditioning unit, it’s small and cramped but there are still people who go there to bet maybe because the desire to bet is higher than their desire for comfort

is comfort a big deal to you when gambling?

The target market of each casino will be different. Of course, the more luxurious the service provided is aimed at big gamblers. Meanwhile, gamblers from smaller circles will be quite satisfied with simpler services because what they want is just to place bets.
In fact, it is not luxury that they seek, I believe it is comfort. It's the same with gamblers who play at online casinos; they will choose a casino site that provides comfort, not just games, but also service from support.
7  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling ads become part of daily life on: Today at 01:53:07 PM
Parents have responsibility to protect their children from gambling. Casinos must make sure children do not gamble. Parents and casinos must protect people from getting addicted because they have their own responsibilities.

Parents and casinos certainly have the responsibility to protect children from falling into gambling. Unfortunately, children who have entered their teenage years, with busy schedules at school and among friends, sometimes make it difficult for parents to supervise them.
It is indeed important for parents to provide education regarding the responsibilities and risks of gambling. Likewise, casinos should not only advertise promotions and large winning opportunities but also must have measures in place to prevent children from accessing gambling.
When everyone cares, the outcome will be positive. But if some or all ignore it, the result could be something negative.

Rashford is enjoying a great time at Barcelona, ​​and he is one of the new recruits who has immediately made a positive impact on the team. His contribution to Barcelona is the fruit of the trust given by the coach, his confidence is increasing and he has managed to score two goals and two assists in just a week.
Although he was only introduced in the second half against Getafe, he was the main creator of Barcelona third goal, which was well utilized by Dani Olmo. Man United will be bitterly disappointed to have wasted his talent, as he has become a key player in Hansi Flick squad.

He just doesn't fit with United's game. His talent and skills cannot be developed there. Now Flick is giving him more trust, I think this is an opportunity to prove that he has the ability, and the mistakes were at United that made it hard for him to develop.
At least this season, he has the chance to perform at his best supporting Barcelona. The competition in La Liga is not easy, nor is it in the Champions League. he certainly wants to win a trophy this season.
9  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season on: Today at 12:40:26 PM
The second UCL match, Barcelona vs PSG, will be the most closely watched. This is the only major match this week.

Each team has 8 matches in this qualifying stage. Regardless of favored teams or underdogs, they must earn the points necessary to compete for a spot in the more exciting knockout rounds.
the second match is indeed the hottest, which is the meeting of Barcelona vs PSG. Other favored teams should not cause any surprises. A match that might be on par and will be exciting, in my opinion, is the match between Atletico and Frankfurt. I hope Atletico gets a positive result.
10  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: Today at 04:53:13 AM
Bayern Munich is indeed different, and I think they will be very difficult to weaken in a few seasons. If we think about it, Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga will be like PSG in the French league! These teams will dominate the league continuously every season for a decade because no other force can easily match them.

Some of the stronger teams below them simply have to be prepared to finish runner-up. If they lose, it might only be for one season due to inconsistency, but the next season they will take the trophy back.

Munich does dominate, but usually they still have competitors like Leverkusen or Dortmund. However, with the situation this season, Munich indeed has no rivals in the Bundesliga.
I still consider the Bundesliga to be more competitive than Ligue 1 in France. The strength of PSG is far above the other teams there. Meanwhile, in the Bundesliga, it is still possible for other teams to compete with Munich.
11  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can Bitcoin hits $150k by year ending? on: Today at 04:06:53 AM
This year still has a few months left, reaching $150k is just a matter of time. Even if it doesn't hit $150k this year, I believe there will still be a price surge that will make Bitcoin reach a new ATH this year.
Some people are too worried about whether Bitcoin can reach certain targets for this year; perhaps they feel pressured because they bought at the peak and want to see returns soon. Stay focused on long-term investment plans. The market may still move sideways for a while.

Actually, Arsenal has responded well, but the attacks they made did not yield results near the end of the first half. If Arsenal cannot equalize in the first half, a different situation will occur in the second half. Pep will give different instructions to deal with the pressure from Arsenal.
Arsenal has work to do on finishing in the second half. However, Man City's defense is also tough. But seeing that Arsenal can penetrate the defense and create opportunities, I think it's only a matter of time before they equalize.
Arsenal’s response to the goal is very good, they are playing well attacking wise and with the intention on leveling up before the half time, but unfortunately, they couldn’t despite the attempts made: Donnarumma denied every corner kick opportunity for Arsenal which is a huge advantage for Manchester City this season, but I believe Arsenal can do it again today because they can’t afford to lose this match because their title ambition might be affected; therefore, The second half might be very good to watch because Arteta still have more players to bring in this match.

The second half is nearing the end of the match, and Arsenal's efforts still haven't produced results. Even though they continue to dominate play by putting pressure on Man City, a goal has yet to be scored.
Arsenal also needs to stay focused when losing the ball, because Man City has players with speed and skills in ball control. Failing to fend off a counter-attack could be disastrous for Arsenal. Let's see if there will be a surprise at the end of the match.
13  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026 on: September 21, 2025, 04:20:31 PM
Manchester City's attacking style is very different from Arsenal and they have already scored a goal, but Arsenal are trying hard but are failing to respond to the goals they conceded. Manchester City have improved their performance and are attacking strongly to take their position higher in the points table. If Arsenal cannot improve their performance and cannot attack strongly and fail to score, then they will lose three points. For Arsenal, winning today's match against Manchester City is very important, they have already lost one match and are behind in the points table. So if they lose today's match against Manchester City, City will plan to surpass Arsenal. Although Arsenal's attack share is much higher at the moment, if they attack strongly and strongly, they will respond soon.

14  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🎰 Slots reminder:playing longer doesn’t mean you’ll get luckier. on: September 21, 2025, 03:56:16 PM
You've probably heard people say, "The longer we play, the better our chances of winning jackpot." But in reality, it’s often the opposite and such a mindset can be a trap. Each spin is a independent event, and every second doesn't increase your chances of winning in the next spin.

At first, when I started playing slots, I thought like that too. But now I understand that playing for a longer time is just to prove to ourselves whether we will be lucky or not.
The tendency to play slots for a longer time is commonly experienced by gamblers. What is in their mind is to play until the end or win a big multiplier. They either stop when they get a big multiplier or stop when the money runs out.
15  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Life and what else on: September 21, 2025, 02:13:41 PM
I am curious what is the one thing that you will never bet with? I am not talking about life because I think almost everyone will say that already but instead I am talking about other things. Like your house, your car or maybe some weird thing like your favorite shirt or the mug your father gave you. Those kinds of things. It would be interesting to see how people value different things within the metrics of gambling.

I impose limits on my betting, so I will not stake anything other than the money I am ready to allocate. The situation may be different for addicted gamblers, so there is a possibility that they stake their possessions. Either by selling them to get money or through betting in any form.
I have to keep that in mind, but if a bad situation happens to me, then the house is the most important thing that I cannot use for betting purposes. But I hope that I will not be in such a condition.
16  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is it a cultural thing? on: September 21, 2025, 01:48:38 PM
People often say that gambling is full of men. But I have seen women be addicted to gambling as well. Older women spend their remaining time in bingo places. You will often see grandmothers playing cards or mahjongs. Some daughters will even say they learned from their mothers. So I am surprised to see when people say they are only recently seeing women around gambling. Is it a cultural thing? Are women from specific cultures more prone to gambling?

I saw a woman gambling, but of course not like most male gamblers. That's why gambling is more associated with men. However, with the rapid growth of online gambling today, we cannot see that gambling is dominated by men. It is very possible that women are also interested in online gambling, which certainly does not expose them to the public.
I do not think there is a connection to the culture that develops in certain areas where female gamblers become dominant and continue to have new generations.

It was a good game for the home side, even if they didn’t dominate much but they were Able to get 2 goals in no time.

I don’t know, but I didn’t see the match as very extraordinary. United had the advantage of players from the start of the match. Clearly, the red card given in the match greatly influenced the outcome. If Chelsea also hadn’t suffered a disadvantage with a red card early in the match, I think the situation would have been different for United and their 2 goals. Nevertheless, the final result is United's victory and Amorim. They need to do better in the next match.
18  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: September 21, 2025, 07:01:43 AM
I did not see Juventus finishing in a bottom position in the standings last season; they managed to win in the competition for the Champions League ticket against Roma.
Juventus's performance is actually not much different, it's just that now we see them collecting winning points rather than drawing points as they did last season. This is a good start to the season for Juventus, but hopefully, they can stay consistent.
Napoli won the league title last season with 82 points and Juventus finished the season in fourth place in the table with 70 points. Although they performed well at the beginning of the season and I thought Juventus would compete hard with Inter Milan or Napoli for the title. The gap between the number one team in the points table is 12 points, which means that Juventus was behind by almost four matches. This season, Juventus will definitely have to perform better and try to maintain their top position in the points table until the end of the season. Even if they fail to maintain their top position in the points table, they will not lose too many points and Juventus' points gap with the teams at the beginning of the points table will not be too big.

I think the point difference is reasonable for Juventus, given their performance last season. If they can improve and perform better this season, the results will certainly be good. Their challenge is to be consistent, at least to avoid losing points.
The match against Verona was not good enough, they led while dominating the game. Unfortunately, they could not maintain the lead. At least they got one point, but there is a lot of work that Juventus needs to do.
19  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How many hours do you play in slots? on: September 21, 2025, 06:15:24 AM
Having limits is indeed important in gambling, especially for those who bet on slot games. If one cannot limit time, which is often overlooked by gamblers, one can also limit the gambling budget to a smaller amount. Trying to be consistent with limits will help us control gambling activities. At the very least, it is a first step to avoid gambling addiction.
I agree with what you said. Indeed, the best way to avoid addiction lies in our own gambling habits. Discipline, such as setting time and money limits, is a way to avoid gambling addiction. This is also something that many gamblers overlook, as they tend to focus solely on winning, which is inherently uncertain. Gambling for too long can also lead to a loss of control, regardless of whether we win or lose.

But most slot players prefer longer games. It may not take up to an hour of play, depending on the size of the capital and the luck they have. But there is a tendency among slot players who will not stop spinning the game until they achieve a big, exciting win. The absence of limits and the small chance of a big multiplier coming out allows slot players to bet everything.
20  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The rich is hugely favoured in gamble. on: September 20, 2025, 02:07:26 PM
I was having a conversation about gambling with two young men and one of them said gambling is not for the poor people, that it has the proclivity to favour rich people much than with the poor, and the examples he gave  made me to come close to endorsing his interpretation.

His argument is that the rich people gambling do not have to pack a lot of odds as in parlay bet to accumulate a high odd size that will give a satisfying potential win. The rich has the money to risk huge amount to a single game for instance 2 odds staked with $1 million to win $2 millions,  but the poor staking with $100 to win  $2 million has to pick multiple legs to accumulate odds to get such potential win.  It hence decreases the gambling winning chance whilst the rich gambler chance remains increased.

However, wealthy gamblers have a capital advantage. We should not look at which perspective yields greater profits. But effectively, a gambler with a small capital can still bet like that, but with smaller profits.
The problem lies in the desire to achieve a big win, you could say greed. Adding bets to their parlay slip certainly increases the odds and potential for larger winnings. However, there is also a greater risk of losing.
