If you want to save from potential losses, better treat gambling on the negative side. Meaning, you won't profit in the long-run. So for me, I won't treat this as an investment per se but mere habit of having a leisure from time to time. Because it is not really an investment an all. Though the definition of investment is "commitment of resources into something expected to gain value over time", still you have no assurance that there will be gain in the future when you talk about gambling. So I would say, gambling is not really an investment. Once you treat it as such, I would say, you are putting yourself in a very risky position.

However, some casinos have their terms on this kind of transaction and their stand usually is that they won't give the time to return it to the user. Though they have the control, unfortunately, most sites won't entertain such request from the user who mistakenly made the transaction. So this is another free income for the casino. For players, make sure that before you hit the send button, double-check or triple-check the addresses and the network that you are sending it to. Because most transactions are irreversible. It would be like a doing a good act if the casino will return the coins to the user who made such mistake. Because not many will do such reversion of funds.

People are not very patient and it is true, it would take time before someone can really see the improvement of the team. It is not an overnight task for a coach to build a stronger team. It would take time to hone the talents even if it is already there. They need to work harmoniously inside the field to bring out the best of their performance. Because even if they are the best athletes if they are not working there, I don't think they will achieve their targets as a team. Hence, it is also equally important that they have good relationship to give their best foot forward.

As they have money to fund the continuity of their scamming, some people are ignoring the fact that they are really scamming people. 1xbit is already the shady one, and so with 1xbet. Both have good revenue as they are popular to players. It may be their continuous presence over the net why players are still playing on these sites. However, it is known that a lot of cases have been unresolved for both. For a gambler, should be very cautious in using these sites. Much better to play in known reputable sites in the forum rather than stake your funds in these questionable sites.

This is the good thing about gambling, it is open for all genders and span ages. Of course, as much as possible, you would not want your kids and teens to be involved in gambling as they have other things to attend to. We all aim for them to finish school and have better future. Because it is a fact that gambling won't give you a bright future if you will venture into it especially in luck-based games.
And some of these activities by women, especially the older ones, I guess, they are more on laid-back games as they are enjoying their senior years. So more than likely, they have the funds and they just want companionship and not really after for the win. Of course they want to win, but it is more on how they enjoy this activity as well as the socialization that comes with it.

However, as a player, you need to review their AML/KYC policy because most licensed casinos are already requiring their users to comply with their KYC protocol. Now, if you are not amenable on that, then, just look for a non-kyc casino which is quite difficult to trust as you need to do some quick research if the site is trustworthy or not. Based from what I read and experienced here, it is best to play on reputable casinos known in this forum which have their active thread. Because once you got into trouble, at least, it is quite easy to reach for help.
With reputable sites on this forum, I don't think you would get into trouble of withdrawing large sum of money. Because if they did, it means, the issue is not on their side, more than likely, it is owed to the gambler himself, violating terms or other issues.

Knowing your goal before every game would help yourself at bay from falling into rabbit hole. So if you still fall from the trap of gambling, then, it is on you, because no one else is responsible to yourself but you. People can give you a piece of advice or say something, but at the end of the day, it will be in your disposition what you will do with your funds.
So before you go to the route of ruining yourself owed to this habit, you may consider -
> that you have other basic expenses to pay for
> that you have other things that you need to take care of such as your family, kids, or parents
> that no one will help you out once you are already in tight position, or would be hard to reach out for help

With its fixed supply, I would say, inequality would happen. Just consider the fact that big corp or rich investors are holding large amount of btcs. That alone will give us idea when the time comes when every satoshi matters. Thus, it is like owning fiat money as well. Look at the inequality that it creates in the community. Definitely, those who are holding large amount of money have better life than those who don't have. So in the future, if the price of btc will continue to be in the upward trend, those who hold most would be like holding a lot of money, as it can easily be converted to fiat.

On my end, nope because first and foremost, I don't say to anybody that I am gambling. These days, I gamble via online platforms only specifically crypto. So no need to lie about experiencing losses. Otherwise, you are just lying on yourself. But if others know that you are in gambling, then, I would say, the chance that you really lie is high, just to cover up those losses to save your face especially if you took a loan from someone else.
So if you are doing this activity discreetly, I would say, there's no need to lie because it is yourself that knows it. You should be taking care of your funds in the first place and not putting yourself in a financially tight position.

Though we have no concrete data on this, but as we have seen, male gamblers dominate the female gamblers for so many reasons. For one, females have more responsibilities at home that they don't have time for other recreational activities such as gambling. Aside from that, they are usually taking care of the budget of the family. So she knows if there's extra or not. On the other hand, males have different approach on this habit because they have more time so to speak. It is not males have less responsibilities but that's what it seems in most cases.

We are talking about slots and this is highly based on luck. So you should remind yourself that no matter what, you need to be conservative with your funds especially if you have limited money to stake. Don't think that your luck will come once you start losing. Better secure your bankroll before it is totally busted.
The problem for most gamblers is that they feel, they can always hit their luck after their losing streak. But unfortunately, in most cases, you won't. Hence, you should already pause your games once you noticed your about to bust your bankroll.

He's indeed one of the favorites but in this kind of awarding, anything can change depending on the judges. This is the dilemma for most awards like this because the people may have chosen their favorites but in the actual awarding, the judge's criteria will be the one calling the shots. So let's see, he's still young so he has a lot of years to get it in case he won't get it this year. He may have attended but it doesn't mean, he's going to get such award. I believe those who are nominated can join such event. There are bettors on this event but I believe not so many because the results are very subjective in my opinion.

As you have experienced such, you will learn your lessons well that it is better to have something, rather than nothing at all. Let us say, you have a very good feeling about your bet, but look at the angle where anything can go wrong, so in terms of profitability, you would always choose to have some. So yes, better cash out if you are not 100% sure about your bet. Otherwise, you can push thru your luck and suffer whatever the consequences will be.

I don't think he will resign as he is not directly implicated in their current issue. I would say, a lot of these politicians who were allegedly part of this huge corruption will resign not the President. So if there is a betting line, I would bet on finishing his term. He is not directly involved in the current issues of corruption. Mostly are those contractors as well as lower politicians who were receiving the bribes not the President itself. So I don't think he needs to resign. What he can do is overhaul the lineup of his officials as people are clamoring for transparency and change of government. A lot of protests are happening in this country because people are not blind anymore, as they can read the sources and images over cyberspace.

That's the nature of gambling/games, right? So no surprise here if people will get hooked every time they sit down and play. The reason why you need to know your limits before you even think of playing. Because if you have no boundaries to start with, would be easy to fall in the trap of gambling. These are gambling games where anyone can be hooked up if he doesn't know his boundaries. Even if you are not a gambling addict and just a regular or occasional gambler, I would say, once you are already in front of your games, you would feel the excitement up until you have no regard of the time that has passed while playing. The reason why there are no clocks inside physical casinos, right? Because they don't like you checking the clocks.

I would say, people know the consequences of what they are doing and yet they are still doing it because the vice is already in their system. If they will stop the vice before it becomes a habit, they have the possibility to get out but if not, would be hard to alter the lifestyle. Social media has somehow change the game especially for this new generation, however, what you will do with yourself is still on you. I don't know the stats, but haven't seen any study about this - relating the rise of social media platforms with the rise of vices. Unless there's concrete evidence on this based on studies.
Do remember, people will smoke or drink alcohol even without social media. So I don't exactly know the relationship of social media to the vices as I said, I haven't seen any stats correlating these two.

Gambling may not be the gateway to crypto for most, but I believe, those old casinos like freebitco and primedice were the reasons why a lot got into crypto. As I remember, I learned freebitco before I used most of those popular crypto exchanges. It may not be the reason why get involved with crypto, but I guess, casinos played an important role in sustaining the interest of people in crypto.
Just like in this forum, users are interested or continue to be interested because of the presence of casinos. Gone are the days that people invest in those new alt projects. Because a lot got burned on those investment. They are now looking for other aspects of crypto investment. But amidst of it,  up until now, the increasing number of casinos and bookies are still very visible in the forum.

Let us put it this way, everything is possible in this world. So I won't say, never. But it would take a lot of effort before the crypto financial system can compete the traditional financial system or our fiat specifically the dollar. The popularity of usage should at least be over 50% of the world's population.  Right now, it is still small as the scope is about 6.8% of the world's population who are one way or another involved in crypto as of 2024. We all know that it is increasing thru time, but it would take years and years before it really competes with the traditional currency.

The trend today is that online crypto casinos and bookies are already licensed, hence, the need to implement their AML/KYC protocol. So it is like a must for every player to undergo such requirement before they can withdraw. So much better to scrutinize the site before you submit any vital info to them. Don't just submit your KYC to every casino which is offering some rewards or perks or any bonuses. Because they would tempt you to play on their site, but some are just masking their real intention, and that is, to exhaust the funds of their players and exit the game. So much better to submit your KYC to known reputable sites not just any other new site.

Let us just be happy that the scope of bitcoin is getting wide but replacing fiat is still far from the horizon. There are still so many financial services that are still reliant to traditional banking method. Crypto market may go mainstream but I don't think it will totally replace the banking system.
