Not in the casino. I highly doubt that.
Trading might be your best option, but you will need to learn it first. The hard part is just in the early stage, and while you are doing it, trading could become pretty boring if you have finished learning everything.
Still, that could be one of the good ways to earn money by using cryptocurrencies. You will still need to take a risk, but if you know the do's and don't's, you might save yourself some money instead of gambling it away.
trading is actually difficult because it’s so volatile and hard to predict so some people do not even know where to start and they end up deciding that trading isn’t for them so see first if you’d want to actually trade or not |

A lot of persons will skip this topic because of their little or no experience gambling in a land based casino.
TBH i have only had few experience in a land based casino and it was terrible. The dealer didn't show a proper welcome and the experience using their slot machines was poor. Even after complaining I couldn't get a helpful feedback from them. In the meantime, I have to accept the fact that the casino is a small one. Big casino's dealer wont act this way. If you did not experience fun while gambling there, then its not worth it.
the truth is most often people are intimidated to go into big or expensive casinos because they’re usually inside expensive hotels and it seems like you need to wear proper suits to even enter the establishment that’s why not many have experienced good things on a casino expensive casinos will make you feel rich and important |

 I found this old screenshot showing how players used to gamble in full Bitcoin units. As you can see, bets were in the hundreds of BTC, win or lose in just one click. it’s pretty insane looking at it now lol i almost got a heart attack seeing the numbers but remembering that this was a long time ago and therefore bitcoin wasn’t valued as the same now if we convert it now, 165 bitcoins would be 18814235.58 usd that’s insane to think about!! |

It's possible to walk into a casino just to have fun and later switch up to gambling irresponsibly. One of the main of the main reasons why some people have change of intentions is mostly when especially when they planned to gamble only for entertainment is when they end up losing a lot of money, without self control this makes them swing into trying to recover their losses and we all know this doesn't end well
This is the main reason people can change their intentions about gambling. But I think many people are gambling more than to entertain themselves, they gamble because they want to make money from it. I may be wrong but I first start to gamble because I want to make money from gambling. If there is no money involved again in gambling starting from now, most gamblers will stop visiting gambling sites. it is a bit of a paradox, to be honest people are having fun because there is the promise of money but does this mean they are here to make money? not necessarily because some people have day jobs and only go to gamble for stress relief |

I like your statement above, but it's important to note that obsession can be negative once you've entered the financial space. The efforts you've made to deepen your knowledge by watching documentaries, buying merchandise, reading books, and even trying small-scale mining are all good and normal efforts for those who have joined this crypto space.
Actually, I don't have a big obsession, but I have a desire to have a large amount of BTC. Of course, in a good way that suits my abilities. So I think I'm not too obsessed, but I just want to have it because the value and future of Bitcoin look promising. So I can still control that. There are many news and reports that a great and uncontrollable obsession can be a bad weapon. Bad for our assets and bad for our future. Those who can't control it might have some financial issues or perhaps turn to crime. we all possess some need to have more money but some people are more obsessed about it in a way that makes them do anything that would make them money some people even steal or do anything unethical and they do not care if it harms themselves or others as long as they get to have money so if you act like this then you are obsessed otherwise i think it is pretty healthy to want to have money or in this case bitcoin |

Let’s be real, we’ve all listened to some bad takes maybe a friend, or some random dude online.
What’s one piece of crypto advice you actually tried and now think wow, that was just dumb
Mine: just buy and forget, it always goes up lol, wish I’d taken profits on a few of those pumps
it’s still a pretty good advice cus you can take profits eventually maybe after a few years and you would have taken up a lot more compared to if you sold it now but yes i understand that for some it would be helpful to have taken profits in between sometimes since not all of us are extremely wealthy to be able to just forget about our holdings |

There are people out there who do not want to play gambling at all because they think that once they do, they will fall into addiction. Of course, we know it’s not that immediate nor easy but it makes me wonder whether there’s some truth to that. Is it better to avoid addiction in the first place by completely devoiding yourself of doing that activity instead of playing and getting addicted only to try and recover afterwards?
You make it sound as if everyone is weak and gives in to addiction. Only weak minded people are in danger, not everyone is an idiot. Making 1 bet doesn't make you a degenerate and betting regularly doesn't either. People work hard and deserve to have a little fun with their earnings as long as they do it in a responsible way. Not everyone is willing to bet their kids on the next game. those who refuse to play at all may already know that they are weak minded and thus will not even attempt to gamble. it’s them who knows themselves the best so just let them be but some people are able to play and still not get addicted even if they have been playing for over a long period of time |

i get your idea and i honestly understand it as well
but actually a lot of people have acquired jobs from the crypto space and there are different jobs available so it means more people are given these opportunities and ai replacing these jobs may not yet happen as soon as you think it will but i will agree that we all should stack bitcoins anyway

Yes, it's certainly appropriate to utilize social media to promote or advertise products, and it's not just about gambling, right? Many companies advertise their products in the most attractive way possible to attract interest, especially now that we don't need to go to a store to buy goods, as we can do so online.
This rise in gambling has also likely increased public interest, especially with advertisements that claim to offer easy wins, which is certainly appealing to some.
There is nothing wrong with advertising a product or service. After all, nobody is forced to engage i gambling and this activity is four mature people. But it becomes unethical when some casinos start engaging in sharp practices. Using influencers to showcase wins from demo accounts, coming up with bonuses with hidden terms and conditions and targeting underaged people. The social media have helped casinos to engage in these unhealthy practices. in social media, it’s incredibly easy to manipulate things you don’t even need a premium platform to edit or spread wrongful content of course this is unethical but gambling casinos can end up doing this out of desperation for customers or money and the sad thing is people do fall for their tricks so i hope we can stay vigilant and aware so we can avoid falling for gimmicks |

Keep culture aside, I don't think there's a part of the world where women are not gamblers too, except for the countries that banned gambling which you won't also see men gambling there unless for those (both men and women) who are secretly gambling via some online casinos, not minding the ban. Women are gambling in those countries that promote gambling but I don't think there's any data to tell the country that has more female gambler than the other.
Well, you may be right but culturally, I can say that there are remote places and villages in some parts of Africa where tradition is still very strong, women gambling in this parts of the world may be considered a taboo judging from the fact that in the past, most elderly people usually consider young gamblers as irresponsible people. honestly i still hear people who think that women should not be gambling because it’s improper so there’s definitely some cultural differences because in some places they might not care if a woman is gambling but in some they might look at a woman differently if they knew she was a gambler, heavy or casual But like I did mention on my previous post on this thread, civilization has come and is changing most of this believes, tradition and cultures, I believe you will agree with me that there are religions that see gambling to be a heavy sin and often preach against it, this is not too far to see because even in the church were I currently worship, the pastor there hate gambling and often preach heavily against it, now, imagine a female member of such a church gambling and the pastor finds out, he is simply going to see such a woman or lady as an irresponsible fellow.
i guess if not culturally then it’s more a religious thing but nowadays since people are becoming more radicalized or modernized they end up not caring much anymore about women gambling |

I cannot think how people stay in playing slots for whole day long.
Because we know that this is going to be not in favor of most players of slots as it is a luck based games.
It's very important not to be triggered by our thoughts that we can recover all of our losses by playing slots.
since it’s very easy and the games are quite short too it’s possible to get lost in it and not notice how time has passed aside from the possibility of winning people just generally find it entertaining |

Maybe not the title I want but it sounded easier in my head.
The essence of the thread is to share a case I came across on how google collect our data. Not a fan of much talks so I'd share the image.  https://x.com/kyusaaku/status/1967046754060431365?t=TXxXfApR7sBaJc9ngPRjPw&s=19For those that want to confirm if it's true, I wanted to do the same until I saw a user That did. As can be seen in the image, Google log our searches (incognito changes nothing) hence their personalized ads. I'm bringing to awareness to those that ain't aware, Google isn't a search that cares about your privacy You can check out this thread if you interested in doing better Let's talk about PrivacyP.S found it funny because it makes it seem like they are under the radar of the FBI i am not surprised because when the police need to find something on you they might check your search history or your locations if they find anything suspicious on you this is why people ought to use browsers that can protect us |

Sometimes slots are a game that makes people as addicted as a gambler can become. I think it's because everyone thinks slots are something simple and frivolous. But as a former poker player, I was very surprised by how easy it is to multiply your money with luck.
It was much easier than sitting at a poker table and trying to cheat my opponents!
Since then, I began to treat slots differently.
I find slots completely harmless, especially because you don't have to think at all. You can just press the "spin" button or even set it to autospin. Gambling that evokes the illusion of control is far more dangerous. This applies to betting as well. This effect constantly gives the gambler room to think that they are to blame. Specifically, that the responsibility for an unsuccessful outcome lies solely with them. i do not think slots are completely harmless lol as you have said we do not need to think about anything when it comes to slots so i think it is even more dangerous because our mind becomes numb and we do not think about any consequences we might find ourselves even forgetting about what time it is already or how much have we been playing because we got too entertained |

we know that gambling rates has gone up because of the accessibility of online casinos. is gambling addiction worsen by social media? we know how people can be influenced by other people posting on social media. from products to services, so it is not too far off to assume that gambling is part of it. when an individual start posting about how he is able to win in a specific casinos, there would be a hundred other people wanting to play in that casino.
are you easily influenced by social media? do you think this is healthy? are other vices like drinking, smoking and etc worsen because of social media?

No wonder there are people with low self-esteem partaking on gambling because they view it as the only way for them to become winners, by hitting a jackpot.
It is a really sad situation of you think about it.
gambling makes us people happy so if a lonely person wants to get rid of that feeling of course they have to go where it is possible and that is in casinos they might feel like winners and may even be treated as vip guests even for just a few minutes |

Isn't the feeling of regret subjective? I guess it's hard to tell who exactly between you and your friend is regretting more, but I assume both of you are missing something significant and therefore regret. it is not a black and white situation no one has more right to feel regret because we never really know how a person truly feels unless we are in their shoes and of course there is no way of knowing that If I were in both positions, I think I'd regret more if I got nothing because I didn't cash out than I got a smaller win because I cashed out. At least with the latter I still won, only that it's smaller. Whereas by not cashing out, you not only missed a profit, you actually lost.
i think everyone has the same answer but if you are content with life and you are not chasing money you will not be dwelling on this so much |

I’ve noticed some scam accusation posts against certain casinos, and there seems to be a trend here.
Some casinos advertise themselves as KYC-free, but the moment you win big, that’s when they suddenly put all the requirements on you. And it’s not just basic KYC, they ask for heavy documents like passports, and some even request bank account details.
are they not supposed to be doing this BEFOREHAND? they can’t just spring this on a customer because the customers has to be informed before they even start playing otherwise they are withdrawing information from their customers which is probably something against legality |

An absolutely healthy bettor or gambler will never think about these hobbies in their free time, because they have a lot of things to do and other thoughts that, in their opinion, can build a path to happiness.
An absolutely healthy gambler will simply work at his job or invest, and he will mentally understand that he will receive a raise or additional income due to this, buy something, and will not think about how to quickly take this money to the casino and supplement his bankroll.
i think it’s normal to want to gamble from time to time i do get those thoughts as well but what is not normal is being consumed by the thought of gambling like you can’t go through a day or a week without wanting to gamble and it’s like an itch you have to scratch |

No matter what strategies we deploys while gambling we should first believe that winning is never determined by those strategies rather a chance based stuff, so even though these strategies would increase our chance of winning it would only boost it to around 20 percent, which is still very low. There are people who may decides to bet on parlay bet and still win if they are that careful with their predictions, while there are people who could still bet on single bet and still win, the whole depends on individuals analysis and predictions.
even if you do thorough analysis and research and your predictions have accurate basis you can’t fully expect everything that is to happen in a game since not everything is under your control there are things you simply can’t factor in in advance |

Every business needs ads to expand, if they don't reach out and create an awareness a lot of people won't get involved in it. Gambling ads are already normal but during sports games it's not really appropriate because these are games that are being viewed by different categories of people including children as well. Gambling ads shouldn't be shown when sports games is going on for the sake of those that might not be mentally mature
if gambling ads would be normalized, the best they can do is to include all kinds of disclaimers or warnings into the ad and make sure everyone who’s watching will be well informed disclaimers should be clear and easy to understand |
