Everything has its cons, but in gambling it's more deeper than anyone of us who may not suffer from it experience. I agree, traps in gambling are very chaotic especially when you don't know that you are in there, unconcious of what is happening to yourself. We've all seen and heard it, testimonies from addicted gamblers who are able to ruin their own live because of gambling, very addicted to chances of winning of what could be a generational wealth to their family. Perhaps that's true, gambling is a nightmare for every gambler. I'm a gambler myself, and I think that;s true.

Yeah we can actually multi task and do gamble during working hours, but it is proven that doing things outside your work will cause so much distraction although you have time to gamble. I mean generally it is not advisable to gamble while at work, some might say that they can do it during their break but I can literally say that even during breaktime it is considered to be on your working hours thus separating your mind from the tasks you have.

Yeah I agree, at the end of the day gambling is always there to entertain us. I don't wanna be hypocrite but I do it sometimes but only on sports betting, I watch games where I bet but not necessarily putting bets while on duty.

Anyone may win literally everything, people who won in lottery, which is another type of gambling, doesn't calculate anything or based on the numbers from the past draw, it is just pure number bets and literally doesn't mean anything, not even with their lives. I also play the lottery, and I always pick number 17 because I think it's a lucky number.

We cannot base someone's intelligence on gambling, perhaps it is game. But on sports betting, analysis can mean so much to win it, especially on team sports like NBA and football.

Yeah been thinking about this for quite a while now, but bills keep coming every month! HAHA!

My company is a US based organization, recently they have been laying off employees to protect their business, I mean I get it, if I'm the leader of an organization whose in a recession country I would have done the same, I think that's pretty common and the most likely to do thing if you own or run a business. If I were laid off, I would end up being a bum in the street, like no kidding, this is my main source of income about 90% of my income, I don't know if I can survive 6 months if they laid me off. So the business thing is on my plan, I need time to make it happen.

I think what OP meant is being a professional gambler as a full time job, though this is not wrong, if you really want to be making money out of gambling then yes, being a part of the house would make you easy money like just being a dealer or on technical stuff. But what I think on OPs question is that it is very subjective, because it could be a profession, we could watch professional poker players battling for a million bucks in a tournament. But if he meant like a in-household gambling, then it's probably hard to make it as full time job like earning in daily basis.

Not a dream! you can start low, have you watched the movie Molly's game? If not you should watch it if you are dreaming to become one!

Got it. Thanks!

Hey @carollzinha - I just noticed what could be a "mistake" from the campaign rules. It is said that we must make at least 25 posts per week, but the post limit is also 25. I would appreciate your effort clarifying this matter. Thanks.

I really appreciate the initiative as well. Correct me if i'm wrong, he is the first person to introduced this one, this is an authentic idea from him and we all need to show support not only by donating money but also pursuing him to push this through. For the OP, there are lots of genius people here that could add some pieces of information for this project. Make sure it'll be known by money people, and we would like to see people recognizing our forum.

I may have heard about bitcoin books, but wasn't able to read one. I'm quite curious what content it will be all about for this book aside from basic information.

Just my thought after reading OPs post. The process of mining crypto emits more energy which causes more harm than good to environment. But taking OPs question whether there will be role to this solution to global dilemma is just absurd. The application of cryptocurrencies, although vast, cannot be applied on very specific things like this, thus making more senseless argument if we continue. I'll believe if the OP proposes one solution.

More and more networks will be built and develop, this means that more energy will soon be generated. I think it's a no.

Definitely. The longevity doesn't mean that much in gambling, it's always either you win or lose on overall time you've sent with gambling. Contrary to popular belief that gamblers who have gambled for a very long time tends to have more losses than winnings, it is not true thus this doesn't have so much data to support.

Yeah, just like me, I don't spend hours and hours on gambling, I'm betting on sports, E-sports, play table games but it won't take me an hour or two before I quit because I just do it to entertainment myself. But I can say that I've lost than I won to those bets/money.

It really depends what goal you are trying to achieve, if your goal is to profit then so be it, play longer but to entertain yourself I think it will only require another boredom from yourself.

I'm pretty sure there will be a market consolidation we can know this by seeing the graph itself, it has always happened in the past and every trader know that this will happen, but the thing is the market is very unpredictable, and you cannot see where the price would land or soar. Market reversal is most unlikely to happen to the market given the fact that the halving is getting near and we always know how market behaves when halving is taking place in a year.

I'm positive that the market will consolidate for quite some time, them pump until the halving, then a year after the halving the market will slow go down. We've all seen this!

For some people, like new to gambling the heater is a streak, so basically betting on a heater means you're putting a bet to continue a streak. It's like the NBA teams, why would you bet on 3-16 Spurs over 16-3 Philadelphia? Technically the math that you should think of this is the chances of how many win did it have, or basically the probability of repeating the same pattern.

But sometimes countering a heater may be a good idea since there will be a point when there a shift, or a pause on that streak but then again putting a bet on a heater after that pause or shift is the most preferable to do by most of gamblers, not until there is a turn over.

Hmm isn't a "congestion" can be a network state due to high volumes of transactions? therefore congestion is really the challenge to any network that increases it's network activity? I can agree that you could have just choose between paying high transaction fee or accept the current network state, speeding up your transaction or wait til ages.

I think this problem will still remain for a few more years.

Yeah, don't force yourself with using the ethereum network, coz these days there are so much more you can use to avoid these problems.

I've had this before they offered a snack and drink coz I've been playing there for like 6 hours and like a guard in the area ask me if I want to grab some. A few tip if you if you're a newbie in a casino and you want to get this perk, try to interact more with the people in the casino guard, people, teller, cashier and they would notice you even in short time that you are playing there, surely you'll get some snacks 

But I think it's pretty funny how it is a coincidence that most of the time they would ask you to get a snack or a drink when you are losing 

Boston x Cleveland - It's hard to do a huge handicap to Boston here, Cleveland played incredibly strong these past few weeks. Though I'm going to take Celtics on this one, but I'll put myself safer than -8.5, maybe -3.5 or -4.5, I'll try to bet on the live game so the odds are realistic.

Chicago x Denver - I'm too concerned with Jamal's performance since he came back, it seems like it was not the play I used to see him play with Denver also Nikola's stats from the past 3 games are getting low. Chicago on the otherhand made a close call with Bucks earlier today, DeRozan putting 41 points on the board. I'll probably have Chicago +5.5

Clippers x Sacramento - I'll give this for Sacramento all day.

If you know, you know.

If you already in this place for a very long time, you'll know things like that could happen with high chances. This time, it isn't 2014 or 2015 where there are less money injected in Crypto it is more complicated now. Institutions getting their bags and bags of crypto made me think I'm just a fish to in the market, and so I changed my market approach. Well probably that's a lesson for you to learn in trading, don't FOMO make yourself secured by keeping your leverages slow so you got a lot of room to pull out your funds. Stop loss wouldn't handle the dip that happened last night.

My guts told me not to put a bet on which team will win the match, I believed those youngins can go over Lebron's supremacy to the game but Davis cut them off telling something about the fans. He's with Lebron, the greatest player on the NBA right now, alright I didn't say GOAT I don't want to debate   Lebron and Davis on the court reminds of old school players playing dominantly on the perimeter, that 39-year old body of Lebron doesn't look right to me and look at Davis, didn't you see how he went to Pacer's center player chest trying to make a basket? that's hella crazy.

Yeah, only if the government decides what price tag shall be put on products or services then there'll be no problem at all with the cost of it. It's out of their control. I can see that these businessmen are greedy, I mean we all do, but in business making money is taking so much away from the buyers, consumers, and resellers. Not every businessmen have the Chinese mindset, they demand more cost when the product or services gives comfort or make you life easy.

Do you believe that one day goverment can provide stability? Like the poor, middle-class and rich will meet halfway with regards with these things? I wonder how would they do that, but hopefully.

His story was he gamble his rent money, so I guess that is his way of limiting himself to gamble, pretty ridiculous right? If I'm winning then I'm going to continue it till I lose significant amount of money. For me he is not fool, he's trying to save himself in drowning from gambling. He just wanna say afloat with a limit of $200 at max!

He doesn't need to accept it, cause he did it, so he knew all along what it would cost him.

Well I can agree on this, he's trying to limit himself but he did it the other way around which is odd to me. Anyways that's his plan. the next thing we should know is how long did he do it to himself 

I never thought of this situation before, and this is a great question actually. With regards to husband and wife, it's both of your responsibility to take care of each other and so if gambling takes a piece of time where you are supposed to be in bed, table, or even fetch the kids from school then it should be stop. BUT let's say you are both in gambling, I'd say if it doesn't affect your lives as husband and wife, or as being parent I think it's only fine to find your entertainment with gambling. WHO SHOULD STOP? I guess this is something that both of you need to talk about, sit and talk. Bottomline, if it doesn't affect your relationship/responsibilities I think it's fine.
