Generally, it's important to distinguish between gambling addiction with loss of money and gambling addiction without loss of money. People often don't make this distinction, or they make it implicitly, lumping them together. Classic gambling addiction, which brings you close to financial ruin, is more serious and requires much more rigorous therapeutic measures—such as a ban on gambling, a change in activity, a stay in specialized treatment facilities, and so on.
But let's discuss gambling addiction without loss of money. The reason for distinguishing this particular form of gambling addiction is that it's milder and likely treated differently. What do I mean by this? For example, these are the online games that teenagers enjoy playing. They primarily spend a significant amount of time playing them, which leads to difficulties in school or social adaptation. But since the games are generally free, this type of addiction is generally milder, as such a gambling addict typically wastes a significant amount of time unproductively, but has no financial problems overall. What do you think about gambling addiction without losing money? Do you think this type of gambling addiction exists, or is it a far-fetched problem? If so, does it require a fundamentally different treatment?
Nowadays it is seen that school children are always addicted to online games. They are not actually playing for money. They are playing games for free through mobile phones or computers. They get addicted easily. If you look at the village or the city, you will see that many minor children are tapping their mobile phones in such a way that they are not paying attention to what is happening around them and in front of them. In fact, this type of addiction is very serious. It does not take money to get addicted. Being addicted to this type of addiction, boys and girls are going down a bad path, they are quitting their studies and from here they are getting involved in gambling. Every family has to be aware to save them from this type of addiction. If every family is aware, it will be possible to save children from this type of addiction. Moreover, it is not possible to save children from all these addictions. |

Pakistan has many flaws and because of those flaws Pakistan lost today's match against India. Even if Pakistan plays 100 more matches against India with this squad, Pakistan will not be able to win a single match.
Why should Haris Rauf be kept in the squad because I have never seen his bowling be good. He has taken wickets against other weak teams but has shown his mettle against India.
He has given more than 15 runs per over but he has to give the finishing over to him? Pakistan's bowling is lacking and Pakistan lost the match today due to the lack of only one fast bowler.
Pakistan's weakness is that all the players that Pakistan has today do not have a single good experience. Earlier, when you look at Pakistan's game, it seemed that Pakistan was good in all aspects, but now when you look at Pakistan's game, it seems that Pakistan is a weaker team than all the teams. Most people had analyzed and predicted in advance that Pakistan would not be able to win today because Pakistan does not have the strength to beat India. Currently, Pakistan's team is very weak. Thinking that it would not be natural for Pakistan to beat India with this weak team, everyone did not support Pakistan to win. They always supported India to win because India has many experienced players where they have become the strongest team today. |

Wasn't it some days ago that I was warning newbies to start by learning instead of trading futures? But I saw some comments saying they can start and also be learning at the same time. Now it seems it has turned bloody for many of them who wanted to escape learning and enter straight into winnings, as the bearish market has caught up with them. And right now, at least two that I knew have gotten liquidated because they didn't use SL. My two years of experience in trading made me spot high volatility early, and I decided to close all my positions and move straight to trading stocks on Baba, Nvda and Riot which I'm currently in profit with. To me, nothing beats learning, and I hope they regain their footing.
Futures trading is a very risky trading platform where people cannot make profits easily. There are many new traders who come to the trading platform and cannot control themselves. Unable to control themselves, they jump straight into the trading platform and most of them choose futures trading and they think that they will make a lot of money very quickly in a very short time. But at the end of the day they lose all their money. Maybe one or two traders get lucky and make some money by trading futures, that is what attracts people the most. So I would like to say that every new trader should be aware, gain experience in trading and trading cannot be done with maximum emotion on the trading platform and if you do trade, you should use very low leverage. |

Question is :
Do you feel that you aged fast because of gambling, or do you feel young and vigorous because you are a responsible gambler?
Gambling does not cause rapid aging, but if a person is addicted to gambling, his fitness can quickly deteriorate, and gambling can be responsible for the deterioration of fitness. Here I will explain in detail, for example, if a person is addicted to gambling, that person will become ill in various ways. He will be tense for money, he will borrow money from people and will be tense to repay the money, or if he makes a transaction from a bank, he will be tense due to the pressure of that transaction. He will be tense at home due to domestic problems. If everything is always on his mind, then eventually his health will break down due to excessive tension. Therefore, gambling is good if it can be played as entertainment, and gambling is extremely bad if someone is addicted to gambling. |

As the title says, I have observed that most gamblers enjoy the weekend because they are free from work and will have time to gamble on the matches to be played that weekend. Majority of them will say it's time to make some bucks on that day. Some people that don't have money to book for their games but will look for money by every means.
I want to tell you that gambling isn't profitable and not compulsory for you to gamble when you don't have money. If you risk the money for your basic needs to gamble, good for you, you face the consequences alone and don't feel bad when a friend did not lend you money to gamble with.
A friend came to me to assist him with money and I asked him what's the problem so that I can know the gravity of his need for the money. He told me he has a sure bet and promise to pay me back immediately, the game is over. I didn't bother to ask him how much, I told him that I don't have money. He pleaded with me but I stood on my ground.
The next day he came to me angrily and saying all sort of words to me that I am the one that prevented him from winning big because I didn't give him the money he asked. He said he was supposed to win $2000, assuming I listened to him and gave him financial assistance. He has distance himself from me that I am a bad luck to him.
I got confused and started thinking if really I was the cause of what happened. I want to ask how many of you here have been blamed for someone else losses.
If you were in my shoes how will you feel.
No matter what anyone says, I will never help someone else gamble with money. If someone very close to me comes to me and asks to borrow money to gamble, I will never lend him money because I do not want anyone to gamble with money from me. Money ruins relationships, so in order to be good and maintain relationships, one should not always lend money to people. I have never lent money to anyone to gamble, of course many have come to me to borrow money, but I have never lent money to gamble, moreover, I have lent money to those who need it, for treatment, to buy food or to buy household necessities, in that case I have lent money, moreover, I have not lent money to any friend to gamble. The person you are talking about is quite addicted to gambling, your friend is so excited because of his addiction to gambling, but you did a very good job by not lending him money, no matter how angry he gets, you should not worry about this, you have to be by his side. |

Nothing is guaranteed or certain in Bitcoin, not to say that bitcoin doesn’t have the potential to hit $150k before the year ends, but due to the high volatility of Bitcoin you can’t really predict what the next move or price will be, because if you really understand the dynamics of bitcoin to say that bitcoin can reach $150k this year, also be prepared to see it even go as low as $90k before the year ends too. But the good news is that we can always be rest assured that bitcoin price will continue to go up even though it goes down at a particular point in time.
I think we are just speculating right now. The decline that has occurred over the past few days might suggest that Bitcoin has the potential for a deeper drop. Such a situation is not impossible. We have seen similar situations happen before. Even after reaching $100k, we also saw Bitcoin fall quite deeply before eventually resuming its upward movement to reach the current ATH. Hopefully, the decline is not too deep. By the end of this year, it would be more exciting if it reaches $150k. Even if it doesn't, at least it will touch a new ATH. No matter how volatile Bitcoin is right now, there is a great chance of a good move by the end of this year, most of us are expecting $150K at that time, I am not saying it is impossible, $150K is very possible, but not guaranteed. But we should never panic, we should focus on accumulating more now, we should only see such corrections as opportunities and accumulate more Bitcoin at this time. Great days are definitely ahead, where Bitcoin can go much further than we expect. Bitcoin is still in the same state as it is, it is possible to expect $150,000. We can see that no matter how much the market dumps, it does not go below $100,000, it remains above $100,000. Moreover, when Bitcoin starts to grow, it does not take long to grow very much in a short period of time, and we have seen that Bitcoin achieves a lot of growth in a short period of time. So, in the remaining three months of 2025, I definitely expect Bitcoin to stay within $150,000, but the most important thing is that we should not panic, we have to be patient, we have to invest, all the volatility that is currently seen in the market is probably an opportunity for us, we do not miss this opportunity, we invest and hold it in a long-term plan. |

I was scrolling through instagram and I came across this story https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNqQIlNg99m/?igsh=cGJ5NGlveGY2ZzV3This is a story of a poor man who played a sport betting game with little money but the potential win was big according to the story he was gifted an opportunity to cash in on a good amount that to his financial status is more than good for him but he decided not to and ended up with nothing. First thing I do after placing a bet is see my potential win as not mine, those figures written as your potential win are dream money it’s never yours I don’t care if your last game is Real Madrid against a team in the fourth division of Iran’s league. The imagination of already seeing your potential win as true can make one forget their financial status as it did to the man in the story. Your financial status is more essential than your potential win in deciding if you should cash out or not. This applies to every person, rich or poor, because a person should think more about his financial situation than his potential winnings because if he does not think about his financial situation, a person will gamble recklessly. Anyway, the person probably talked about his financial situation and he was too greedy about his potential winnings and he thought that if he waits now and does not cash out, he will get more if he wins, but unfortunately the person lost. The logic here is that when gambling, everyone expects to get more and no one wants to expect to cash out so easily. Especially when I gamble, I participate in one bet all day long, and that too after a week or four to five days, but even if I have the opportunity to cash out, I do not cash out because I wait until the entire match is over and enjoy the entertainment. |

Yes as the topic said it all and it is very simple to understand. Instead of planning to use your business money to invest in bitcoin, I advise you to use the profit to invest and keep the capital to run di business and even di profit no be all you go use because you get other bills and things to do. Many people business of the advantages of investing in bitcoin would not think of what would happen when they invest their all in bitcoin and starting to beg from others to eat because they what to grow their investment or if they can't wait, they will be touching the investment bitcoin again. That is wrong investment plan. Always have an alternative to survive when you are investing in bitcoin. Even if you don't invest your business money directly, it is a good idea to invest some of your profits in Bitcoin on a regular basis. I would say that those who know about Bitcoin and have experience in Bitcoin should invest in Bitcoin at least to some extent because Bitcoin has become more popular over the years and Bitcoin has become a valuable asset for people and the world at large. I am not advocating investing in Bitcoin directly with business capital or by borrowing from someone, but if there is profit from the business, then if you invest regularly using the DCA method, then it can be assumed that the investment will be very successful and if you keep it for a long time, you can earn huge profits. If you imagine this, you will see that many people, including Michael Saylor, are investing in Bitcoin with their business money. Now if you look at their case, you will understand better why they are investing with their business money. |

Markets move fast, but emotions move faster. Fear and greed push traders into rushed decisions,buying tops, selling bottoms, or overleveraging positions.
Ethereum, stablecoins, or Bitcoin,it doesn’t matter. Without emotional control, the outcome is the same. A calm mind is as important as any chart.Do you think your biggest challenge in trading is technical skill or managing your own psychology?
It is not easy to make money by trading, trading is very risky, where without experience and strategy, it is never certain to make a profit from trading. However, you need to know your own strategy and technical analysis on the trading platform, if you do not know your own strategy and technical analysis, then you will never be able to achieve success in trading. I have not joined trading well yet because I do not have much experience in trading, but even though I do not have experience, I have gone to trade on the trading platform with very small amounts of money a few times but I could not analyze it very well there, so I made a few trades with speculation. However, I have had to lose time and time again by trading with speculation. I myself do not know how to do technical analysis and I am not sure if I will ever be able to do technical analysis because technical analysis is very difficult to understand. |

Although the bowling performance of the Bangladesh team is very good, their batting performance is very bad. Today's match was a target of only 136 runs which was very small and it was very easy to meet this target but the batsmen of the Bangladesh team failed to meet it, it is their failure. Bangladesh had the most chances to win today's match against Pakistan, but the Pakistan team was able to defeat Bangladesh due to its excellent bowling and entered the Asia Cup final. The Bangladesh team lost the match by a margin of only 11 runs. If they could have done better in the opening, then the Bangladesh team would have entered the Asia Cup final but they were unlucky due to which they were eliminated. Anyway, India vs Pakistan will face each other in the final match of the Asia Cup, this match will be more exciting, whoever wins will be the champion and will win the trophy.
Dubai International Cricket Stadium is basically a bowling pitch due to which the batters could not bat well here. When we were watching Pakistan's game, we could see that their wickets were falling very quickly and from that first sight we had a guess that Bangladesh would win but when Bangladesh's game started, it was directly understood from the condition of Bangladesh that it was not a pitch for batting but a complete bowling pitch. However, Bangladesh's luck is very bad due to which they could not take themselves to the final despite getting so many opportunities and finally Pakistan and India's final was confirmed. Anyway, even if the final match is played between Pakistan and India, the match will probably not be exciting to play but the Pakistan and India game may have to be answered because Pakistan will not be able to do very well against India as we have seen from the last few matches. |

I have been gambling for years, maybe I have been addicted to it at some point even though I never noticed, however I'm a little in control of my gambling activities. Something still get me confused regarding gambling addiction that is a hot topic here and I want to get opinion of others on these areas: - How do you know you are addicted to gambling
- How easy it is to be addicted to gambling?
- Can an addicted gambler work himself out of that addiction without help from anyone, if yes, is it still addiction?
A person's behavior and speech can tell whether he is addicted to gambling or not. In short, a person addicted to gambling behaves differently from a normal person. In particular, a person addicted to gambling will not want to come near people, he will always think about something, and will always feel restless and hot-tempered, he will run from door to door to collect money. All these signs are found in an addicted person and only by seeing all these signs will it be understood that he is addicted to gambling or a drug addict. A person can easily become addicted to gambling. Gambling addiction is not complicated. If one allows oneself to participate in gambling beyond control and if gambling is done irresponsibly, a person will easily become addicted to gambling, especially spending excessive money on gambling and repeatedly participating in gambling, which plays a very important role in becoming addicted to gambling. When a person becomes addicted to gambling, it is not easy for that person to get out of the gambling addiction. Then of course the help of very close and intimate relatives or friends is needed, besides, one must make one's own efforts to get out of the gambling addiction. Without one's own efforts, it is never possible to get out of the addiction. |

Bitcoin has been moving strong this year, and some people think it might hit $150K by year ending, irrespective of the recent fluctuation. Do you believe it can really get there, or it's just hype?
Bitcoin’s peak price was $124,000. If Bitcoin had gained just another $26,000, we might have seen it rise to $150,000. However, since it’s late September and October ahead, and there are still more than three months left until the end of the year, it’s definitely expected that Bitcoin will reach $150,000. Also, when Bitcoin dropped from $124,000, we saw dumping to $107,000 and pumping from $107,000 to $118,000, so it makes sense that the market might not dump anymore and will rally, so I strongly believe that Bitcoin will surpass $150,000 by 2025. |

Politicians in the country, Philippines, are getting exposed for their lavish lifestyle. It’s even crazier to hear the amount of money they are being exposed to have spent for personal reasons.20 million PHP is around 350,000 USD. This seems to be spent in only a week usually. Don’t you wish it was that easy? Lol. Next time you want to gamble, just be a government official. In fact, government officials and politicians should completely refrain from gambling and they should stay away from gambling because when a government official and a politician are involved in gambling, the country is harmed by both the politician or the government official. Here, the amount of PHP that a politician is spending for his personal reasons, I think it is embezzling the wealth of his country and the wealth of the people because the amount of PHP that is being talked about here, a politician and government official will hesitate to use this amount of PHP without the country's money. Therefore, if politicians and government officials can be completely banned from gambling, then corruption in the country will decrease and the country will move forward and the suffering of the common people will decrease. |

Is there any twist left in the game? PAK started well but now looking at the scorecard they are crumbling again after good start and as of now they lost 5 wickets and still need 53 to win from 8 overs so I just assume it is not going to be a cake on the walk for Pakistan even if they are winning this.
And for the SL, it is do or die situation for them, if they lost then they are out of the contention since they already lost one.
Sri Lanka is already losing to Pakistan. Right now Pakistan needs to score 30 runs in 30 balls to win, which will be very easy for Pakistan as they still have enough wickets. Right now Pakistan's total is 104 runs for the loss of 5 wickets in 15 overs. Maybe Sri Lanka has no alternative path to go in that direction and win or there is no time left to move on to the next stage, the game is already over and we might see Pakistan win in a few more overs. |

Recently, there have been some different views from analysts about the duration of the bull run. Some of them claimed that the Bull run is over and we might be entering another bear market. While others believe that the bull market is not yet over and might last till next year. These arguments are not the reason for this discussion.
Before this bull run, there were diverse predictions about the price Bitcoin would reach. The most popular one was $100k and others also felt it would go above that amount. Bitcoin's ATH stands at $124,290.93.
In your own view, do you think Bitcoin performed below or above your expectations in this bull run?
In my opinion, Bitcoin has grown much more than I expected in this bull market. I am satisfied with $100,000, but reaching $100,000 to $124,000 is even more than I expected. I never imagined that Bitcoin would reach $100,000 in 2024. We always imagined that Bitcoin might reach a maximum of $80,000 in 2024, but instead, Bitcoin reached $100,000 in 2024, and in 2025, Bitcoin did not decrease, and it pumped more and reached the highest position. Moreover, I think that Bitcoin's bullish season is not over. There is definitely a bullish season ahead and we hope to see more Bitcoin prices in that bullish season. |

Have you ever tried looking into your horoscope or had done a tarot reading on you that affected your gambling habits? I know that we often just take these superstitious words and try to mold them into our own situations making it look like they actually predicted our future but sometimes people take these as signs. I wonder if you had ever gambled because of what you saw from your horoscope or something similar? How did it end?
Seeing horoscopes and following horoscopes to predict the future is a complete superstition. Those who believe in superstitions and those who are illiterate may believe in such superstitions and plan their future based on superstitions. I have not tried to hear my horoscope from anyone so far because I never believe in horoscopes or superstitions. I only believe in my creator and whatever will happen in the future, whatever will happen in the present, I believe in the creator and move forward. Many times it is seen that many people come and tell a person about the results of their horoscopes, some believe it and some do not, but I have seen that those who believe in them are not very knowledgeable. |

If you have already observed the Bitcoin market, you can see that the Bitcoin market has been dumped a lot. Right now, the Bitcoin market is at $112,600, but one to two hours ago we were able to see Bitcoin at $111,900, so looking at the Bitcoin market, it can be easily said that Bitcoin will not reach $119974.35 by September 23, 2025. Maybe there are 20 to 21 hours left until September 23, 2025, so it doesn't seem like Bitcoin will reach $119974.35, but where you want to predict, this price will never work. Perhaps the market could be dumping more. |

Some people gamble for fun which is the right reason someone should gamble. If you want money from gambling, let it be small in a way that you will still not use more than small amount of money to gamble. Do not gamble because you want to make money and be using high amount of money to gamble because gamblers are always losing than winning. The losses are so much more.
Yes, you are right because gambling is only for fun, gambling is never for making money. Those who think that gambling is a way to make money and spend a lot of money on gambling quickly become addicted to gambling and completely ruin their lives. It is better to spend as little money on gambling as possible, and never spend a lot of money on gambling. I have seen many people around me who have spent a lot of money on gambling, due to which they have quickly become ruined. At one time they were in a very good position, but later they are living in great difficulty. |
