If I knew the lady, I would say her fiance is a red flag; there are more scenarios like that that could happen to them in the future. What the guy just made is a decision wherein he didn't think before he used the hard-earned money. I get it; he only wants to help, but the method he chose is not a good idea. You see, it shows how reckless he is about money; he didn't hesitate to waste all that $5 million just to gamble. I don't care about his intention to help; if you are in your right mind, you will never ever use the money for your wedding for something that is too risky. I'm not saying to break up with him I know you love him but you should not trust your fiance in terms of money handling, because he did it once and it could hav more. 

In my country, horse racing betting is still one of the most popular forms of gambling. Just like cockfighting, the game itself is a history and is considered a tradition and rare; it is only limited. Horse race betting is a fun game. In the past, we also had a digital version of it called "video karera," or video race. You just bet by putting coins in the machine and choosing which horse to bet on. But it is considered illegal since it is a machine that even a young person could play. I'm one of them at a young age. I used to play "video karera." It was fun because all you needed was a coin and you would feel the thrill, but yeah, it is illegal as many people at a young age are exposed to gambling. Sadly video karera doesn't exist now but the real horse race still exist and still popular.

Well, I don't think or have a thing that I brought using cryptocurrency, mainly because in my country, using crypto as payment is still not accepted or regulated. There are some, but they are rare. Things I brought with the help of bitcoin: there are many of them. Thanks to bitcoin investment and trading, I brought many things such as a PC, smartphone, TV, etc. Anything related to electronics, and of course, basic needs and even trips Maybe I don't have stuff brought with the use of bitcoin itself, but I brought what I have right now because of bitcoin and my dedication to earn from it. I know it's the same case for most of us here on this topic. But if, in the future, bitcoin or any crypto can be used as payment, then it would be a good idea; bitcoin will be more useful and powerful if that happens.

What's so fun about betting, even if you are losing? Where is the entertainment there? Chasing losses is the worst thing that a gambler will do, and I don't think there is a gambler out there who is still entertained despite having suffered a lot of losses or facing numerous losses. I don't know if you know what you are saying. Maybe for you, you still enjoy that, but not for the other gamblers, because when you lose, there's no entertainment in it. That's why I don't disagree with your statement. Example: If you lose big, will that be okay with you? No, of course you are a person who loses money that you've earned. I don't discriminate against you; your understanding of gambling seems wrong. I know many readers here also disagree with you, and if you do what you are saying, please stop that. Losing in gambling is not fun; that's not entertainment.

Maybe for you, bitcoin is not too risky, but as we know, bitcoin is a volatile coin, or its price is volatile. I prefer bitcoin to the real state, but I disagree with you saying bitcoin is not risky. Maybe not for you, but for other bitcoin holders or normal people that are starting to explore bitcoin, it would be risky for them, and it is also considered not safe all the time. Remember, bitcoin also has pros and cons, and not everyone could take the risk or manipulate the risk for their own good. Also short time? Not always. If you really aim for a big profit in bitcoin, it will take a long time, depending on your holdings, of course. So I'd say bitcoin is still risky, depending on whether the person who's investing in it is new or not. The wrong move could cost the investor, you also.

I see a lot of people that is hesitant in KYC or doesn't trust KYC based on this wesbite [url =https://casinogrounds.com/blog/know-your-customer-gambling/]KYC (Know Your Customer): Why Casinos Ask you for Documents[/url] "The purpose of KYC in gambling (and other verticals) is to identify customers to ensure that their IDs are legitimate and to identify risk factors with said customers." it is for customer's own good, and also for the casino, I get it many are worried that if they giver their personal information it could a scam but  in reality no, KYC is used to protect your funds and ensure that the money or balance you will withdrawn will be directed to you only. not just for the customer only. The casino ask KYC  because there are thousands of online casinos, and the KYC process of these might slightly differ as it depends on the Anti-Money Laundering legislation applicable to their jurisdiction, licenses, and markets. in short it is also used to avoid laundering or another illegal activity where online casino coud be involved.

But we also need to understand that maybe he is not well known in bitcoin. Bitcoin may become high in the following weeks or months, but we can't predict it. He can't predict it. Maybe he has a plan, so let's not get involved with it. I also think right now is a good time to halve bitcoin, as it got hyped by the recent price spike. Many have caught their attention to it, and I'm sure many will enter and invest in bitcoin. With that, there will be a lot or big movement in the bitcoin price, which has a profit potential. But still it also risky, we can't ignore that maybe it will go opposite, well it is worth to risk as we know cryptocurreny has a lot of risk and investing to it take a strong mind and dedication, maybe that's why the op is hesitant to buy bitcoin right now or doesnt have enough funds to do so.

I will be more interested in working in shadow. Well, I think my country will never ban crypto currency, and even if they do, they will never stop me from investing and doing bitcoin stuff. I'm an IT professional, and I know how to do things untracked, so even if they ban any access to bitcoin, it is easy to bypass that. About the group that discriminates against bitcoin, I guess they are hired by the government, maybe, or anyone else that is afraid of the potential of bitcoin, as if it continues, we know bitcoin can be powerful in the future. and as it's powerful, no one could control the bitcoin, only us, the holders and investors themselves. I'm not afraid of anything as I keep my bitcoin stuff secret only known to my trusted friends that also do bitcoin and crypto stuff, we will fight for it? yes but silently.

That's why I think it should depend on a specific age. For example, if a teenager or, let's say, a 12-year-old kid has exceptional thinking capabilities, I think they are the ones who are right to educate themselves about complex things like crypto or bitcoin. We know that not all young people are futuristic or ready to think about complex things such as cryptocurrency. Young people should enjoy their youth as long as they are young. Even if we want to teach them about that, it's up to them if they will absorb it or if they will be interested for a long time. Teaching them is a good idea, but we also need to remember that bitcoin or cryptocurrency is not for everyone. Let's not assume every child has the same interest. If I have a child, maybe I will just introduce bitcoin and guide them, but I will not force them to be interested in it. 

The first thing you did was very risky, and you followed it up with another risky move. First,  you gambled an initial capital to start; that's okay, but you kept on playing because you hooked up and wanted to chase your losses. You said 'for fun only' then why do you end up wanting to chase your losses desperately? Second, you deposit a huge amount and stake a big margin or big bet, which is very risky. What if you also lose the money you've deposited? Will you chase it again? If so, then the cycle will only continue until you have nothing to gamble on anymore. You see, it shows how passive a gambler you are; you decide without thinking about the consequences or what will happen next. Thankfully, you recovered your losses and earned some, but that is something not to be proud of. I thought you would never do that again based on Whatever happens to you, you can repeat it because you can't control yourself.

Instead of that, it's better to put the gambling addict in rehabilitation; there, they will be monitored and slowly helped to forget about gambling. But no matter what we say here or suggest, the change will depend on the gambler itself; if he does not help himself to get out of the influence of gambling, then nothing will happen. The other things will be just support for that person to change. Let's say all your advice is followed by the gambler, and he will not be cured as long as he chooses to still play gambling. So I believe only that person could help himself; I believe people have the dedication to do that. But that will be a different case if the addict itself is beyond help, even if he can't control himself. Possible solution? Ban gambling that's it but we know it is impossible gambling is everywhere even in life it is a gamble.

Even if they have similar views about gambling or a partner is both open to gambling, it still could affect their relationship as it affects their lives. I witness many relationships, not just those between husband and wife, but even friendships. Because of gambling, one of your friends could become greedy in terms of money. I remember seeing a topic here in the gambling section where, because of gambling, one of their friends started avoiding them as that friend won a game. Which shows how a person can show his true nature just because of money. Gambling exists and is valuable because of money. Even in gambling, money could become a root cost for many crimes and affect any relationship, but that's reality. We are all hungry for money, and we are all circled around money. As with gambling, gambling could affect many things, even a solid and pure relationship.

I guess it will never happen. The word "sport betting" refers to a game or gambling wherein real people are involved; they play sports like basketball and such. How do you think AI will predict who will be the winner? AI doesn't have the ability to predict the course of the game as it involves humans, which AI can't control, so it's nonsense that some will rely on it. Maybe AI could predict the winner. That's because there are only two winners in two teams; it is 50-50! I don't understand why some rely on AI; they don't think what the only capabilities of an AI are. Unless AI can control or manipulate the course of the game, that's when AI would be realiable in terms of sports betting. I'm not against AI; don't get me wrong, but I don't think AI has the capability to outsmart or predict anything that humans do.

I choose table games, as I'm more expert in those games, or rather, those games that I think have more chances of winning. why? because table games require skills and thinking. You fight other players who bet, and you need to outsmart and defeat them in order to win. I personally pick this one as I'm good with table games, because I think slots and other games require luck or are based on luck, like in slots, where there are probabilities yes, but it depends on your luck when you play and the probability hits you. Many choose slots, maybe because it is easy to play; you're just going to place a bet, roll, and wait to see if you will hit a duplicate combination. But I see that there are many opinions on what game they have a high chance of winning, so I think it will depend on the player itself and what he or she is good at.

What if that person doesn't have an idea when it comes to bitcoin? So what you've said about "investing the rest of the money in Bitcoin" is not applicable to all people who don't have a slight idea about it. But maybe for some people like us that are prominent in the field of cryptocurrency or bitcoin, the number one thing that we will do is invest some or a large amount of our winnings in bitcoin because we see the potential profit in bitcoin, which is good timing right now. But treating yourself to some luxury things will not be bad, either because you deserve it or because the winner deserves it. Just control the expenses and buy only the things that you necessarily need. How I will I will win in lottery I already have plans on how will I spend some and how will I invest some.

Well, buddy, think before you invest in bitcoin. Maybe you discovered bitcoin because of its sudden surge in price recently, and I think you only got hyped because of that and decided to invest in bitcoin using the money you've saved. I think before you invest, you should study first how bitcoin works and if you are really sure that your prediction is correct. because what if bitcoin decreases after you buy? Your capital could be gone if the percentage of downtrade is too low and your equity can't keep up. So do further research and study while you are also studying for your college, and if you are ready, then you can engage in investing, but of course with caution. Try a small amount of capital first, and if it is earned, then keep it. and invest the money you've earned in such a way that even if you lose it, it will not be hurtful for you.

I agree with this; I think the OP is not in the right mindset. Well, I don't judge it; it is what you want to do, but making gambling a career is crazy to hear, and I guess many here have their violent reactions to the post. Only gambling as a career will do you nothing; you will only lose too much money. Unless you are very lucky and you win a big jackpot, one jackpot will change your life totally, but it is too much to ask. I advised the OP that if he really wants to continue that career path, you better be ready because you will not instantly earn much.

Gambling as a main source of income is a big no; it will only bring misery and bad effects to the person who gambles. But sad reality: many gamblers are hoping to get rich instantly with the use of gambling. It's their desire to keep gambling until they get rich or have a good hit, but in reality, it will only make you suffer. Even if you win at some point, it will only cover the money you've lost, or worse, it is still enough, and little by little, you won't notice that your debt will only increase than you've earned. So gambling can never be a source of income; it can only be treated as "entertainment" or a side hustle. Maybe some become rich because of gambling, but that is their luck that brought them there, and not all of us have the same luck as they do. So gamblers out there, remove the hope you have that you will be rich by gambling; it will only hurt you.

In not all cases, I have experienced what the OP says, or I get addicted to gambling, but I quit at some point because I notice how I become miserable. But it is not easy; you will still have the urge to gamble, so instead of totally quitting, I let my mind and hobby adjust. What I did was still play, but in a controlled state, and slowly I limited my gambling expenses until I noticed that I didn't hunger for gambling anymore. Of course, I did many things to achieve that, but I started to find other things that could get my attention. Like trading crypto or playing games, and playing sports with friends. In short, in order for me to overcome my addiction, I simply find other things that are more meaningful than wasting money on gambling. I don't literally quit gambling; let's say I only play once a month just for entertainment, and the money I use is the money that I can afford to lose.

Even if it is a coincidence or not, he is still lucky because he hit a bet, which is great, but my concern is that we only see the good part; how about the other bet? I'm not contradicting; I just want to raise awareness for everyone. You see, we only see winnings, right? But how about the others? This is worth the flex I get, but is it worthy? Why do I ask? Maybe you won that amount of money, but on the back side, you have lost bets that could be higher than your winnings. You see, not just the OP, but other gamblers tend to flex their abilities, and there's nothing wrong with that. It could just give false hope for the readers that also do gambling; they will have hope that they can do it and will never be satisfied until they also have a win that they could flex, but in the process, you lose more than you win.
