I agree; I don't see a point wherein the OP will include bitcoin or crypto payments, as he himself says that the business is small. I'm not discriminating; in fact, it is good that you have a business and yet you still study, like bitcoin, to earn more. I salute the OP with that, but I don't think including bitcoin payments will be a good idea for you and for your business. People, even crypto holders, are still not ready for that concept. Yes, there are some willing to do that, but not all. It is still a small percentage. And I think you are not ready to accept that concept, as you still said that you are new in this field or in bitcoin. I guess just focus on growing your business first, and then little by little, you may include bitcoin in your business. That would be great that you are futuristic.

But licensed casino will never ever do that according to this article Can Casinos Kick You Out for Winning  "In general, the answer is no. Casinos are not allowed to ask patrons to leave simply because they are winning. This is because it is illegal for casinos to discriminate against patrons based on their race, gender, or any other protected class. Additionally, this would be a violation of the patron’s right to due process and would be considered unfair and unethical." It simply state that no matter how much a gambler win he/she cannot be legally kicked out of the casino unless they violate certain rules, the casino that would do that can face charges from the gamblers if found guilty and it will cost them much or worst be closed. So I think getting kicked out in casino because of winning too much is more likely happening less, maybe some there are some cases but I think those casinos are scam.

I don't know if there is a specific time when I'm lucky in gambling. Over the course of 5 years, I still don't know when or how often I'm lucky when I gamble, but I feel it. There are times that I have a strong hunch. If I'm lucky, I will strongly feel confident, but I still don't know the formula for or when that strong hunch will come. It's not always, but it helps me a lot, so I often follow my hunch and instinct as I prove that it has quite a bit of accuracy. But not because of that, I will be addicted. No, I still have control over when I play or how much money I bet. If I let myself sink into thinking that I have a strong instinct, I know it will be a bad decision for me, so I still gamble wisely and bet wisely to minimise my losses.

Well, I think I still have opportunities to profit from bitcoin at that price, but if, for instance, it happens right now, I will lose a lot of money as I hold quite a bit of bitcoin as my long-term investment. But if it happens, I will accept it and start to analyse the bitcoin price again to see if it will rise again. If so, I will buy and hold a lot of bitcoin again and wait for the price to go up or bull run. Just like what happened earlier this date, bitcoin shocked a lot of holders as it made a quite bull run from $30,000 to $35,000, which I missed and regret. But I'm happy because it is a sign that bitcoin might do a huge bull run that many people await, and I hope it might surpass its own all-time high. and I can't wait for that to happen, so I think $1 million worth of bitcoin might be impossible.

It's a good decision to quit gambling at the start when you realise that you don't want to lose money anymore. It's a good thing you noticed, and you wake up early rather than sinking yourself into stuff you know you can't afford. As you say, you only use your salary to fund your gambling. I advised that if you think you will not win in that game or if you know that it will not be a good path, then I suggest you don't come back again in that game. If you really want to gamble, maybe find another game that suits you. Lottery games only rely on luck, so you never know when you will win. You might win, but it may cost you a lot, which is not good. So I think you better find another game and, of course, prepare capital that you can afford to lose.

Investing doesn't mean you will just hold a currency or crypto; it still requires analysis and knowledge. why? Investing in or holding a cryptocurrency is not just buying and waiting to earn. No, that's not it. You will first need to know if this price is the right price to buy or if this is the right time to buy and hold. What if you buy bitcoin at a certain price but it doesn't go well? There's a right timing and certain point perfect to buy and hold a coin. So both investing and trading require knowledge and analysis; it's just that they have different levels. Well, it depends on the person's reference to what they can do and what they want to do. But for me, it has the same risk and a lot of profit potential. For me, I do both trading for short-term earnings and investing or holding for long-term earnings.

But sometimes, due to severe addiction, even asking for help from your friends or family will not change anything; only you will make the change. Yes, we could rely on rehabilitation, but we don't have a guarantee that it will work. I know a lot of cases that undergo rehabilitation, but still, a few months later, when they have a taste of gambling again, even the slightest will make them unstoppable again. The only solution I think is to let that person learn his lesson; if he is beyond help, then let them suffer; let them discover themselves and the consequences of their actions. I'm sure they will face a certain point that will change them, and they will quit gambling by themselves. But still, things could go wrong, and that, I think, is up to them. They are the ones who want that; they are the ones who're responsible for themselves.

"Cockfighting" it only involves chicken, and based on this post legalonlinegambling Philippines set up a law which is HB 8910 gives the GAB the ability to completely oversee e-sabong gambling regulation and governance. This will bring the act of online cockfighting out of the back alleys and illegal betting operations and into the limelight of legal gambling in the Philippines. It means even cockfighting is illegal in the past, now they set up a law which will make cockfighting legal just they should follow a certain rules and law. And cockfighting doesn't mean that an animal or the chicken will die, its like a boxing, there are certain grounds that could determine who is the winner. I understand your concern but we can't control this stuff, just like horse racing or such, don't be a hypocrite, you eat meat everyday.

Here in the Philippines, cockfighting is still popular among the middle- to old-aged; it is still around, and many people still do this stuff, especially men who are also fathers. It is very prominent in the Philippine province, and I'd say it is entertaining to watch this kind of betting because you will choose which chicken you want to bet on. I personally sometimes bet on this kind of game. Even if cockfighting seems like a traditional way of gambling, it still copes by means of social media. Right now, they offer online betting where you can watch the live stream of two chickens fighting. It only shows that this kind of traditional gambling can still be around by utilising the internet. So because of that, many more people bet on this gambling game because it's accessible and easy to play. Just place a bet and wait to see who wins.

If bitcoin doesn't exist or is a physical currency, then nothing; if bitcoin is just a normal currency, then it is like what we use now; we don't have any forums like this or anything related to bitcoin. And I think nothing will change if bitcoin is just a normal currency because it is physical. But thankfully, bitcoin is digital. Why? Because from a project to nothing, now the most famous digital currency has created a lot of opportunities to earn. It also marked the beginning of the crypto currency era, with more currencies emerging to provide more options for investors and holders. And now bitcoin is becoming the future currency and will eventually change a lot of things in terms of finances. I'm glad I spend time knowing and studying bitcoin as it gives me opportunity to earn and do the things I like, buy the things I want.

But that only makes you addicted and, in the worst case, suffers from great loss. As you said, the ration can be 1000 bets per luck. The word "luck" implies that we will never know when it will come, so it has either a good or bad impact. Relying on gambling to become successful is not a good idea. Maybe some people become rich because of gambling, like Lotto, but that doesn't mean it will apply to everyone else. Based on my research, there are more people who become poorer or richer than others because of gambling. Yes, because of addiction, and what factor leads them to addiction—simply hoping to become rich or just for a hobby? So I think "successful" and "addict" are not good things to be together. Why? Addictions mean bad. Even if you've gained a fortune in gambling and still gamble excessively, there's still a chance that you will get back what you've started or worse, become worse.

I disagree. I know a few people who get addicted to gambling, even if they start gambling and face losses. According to them, they become addicted because of the thrill, even if they don't win at all in a day. They still play. It's not about how big or small you win or whether you win or lose; it's about the desire of people to earn money in an easy way. Desire is the root reason why people are addicted to gambling; it's the same as any other vice; they smoke because of their desire to be relieved. So I'm against what you are saying; it just is not always the case that there are gambling addicts. Some got addicted because of others influence; there are many other ways to get addicted. I personally admit that I became addicted to gambling at some point in my life because of the desire to earn money and buy the things I desired. It's all about "desire.".

Yes, a gambler who puts in little capital means minimal damage if they experience a loss, but those little capitals will have an impact if the gambler has a lot of bets or games; more sessions or bets with a small amount are not different from one played with big capital. The most efficient way to stay away from gambling and minimise the damage is to set boundaries and limits. I also experienced that case wherein I only put a small amount as capital, but I didn't notice that I do a lot of betting, resulting in a big loss that affected me badly. That's why it's important to me to set only a limit in terms of my bet and the betting amount itself. So I disagree with your opinion, but this is also my opinion, so no hard feelings. But sometimes I do big betting which is risky but also have a huge profit potential

Well, we can't blame them; they enter bitcoin hoping to earn a lot, as they foresee the potential of bitcoin or how popular it is right now. I'd say bitcoin is not for a person who doesn't have the patience or financial state to sustain their investment. Why? It's because investing in bitcoin, while potentially lucrative, requires a significant amount of time and patience; unlike trading, you don't place your trade and expect it to profit the next day. But in order to earn a lot, you need to wait, and of course, you need to think carefully before making your trade or investment. So for those who desire quick profit, sometimes they are the ones that face a miserable situation because of bitcoin; they are the ones who blame bitcoin, but the truth is, they are the ones who place themselves in that situation. You are right; bitcoin or any crypto is not for people who desire a fast profit.

Well, I have two boundaries when it comes to playing gambling in a casino or online casino. The first is that if I hit a significant amount of profit from it, let's say I have $100 in capital, and if I double it, that's it. If, for instance, it goes the opposite, if I lose my capital, then I will stop. I will not chase my losses, as I know it is risky and can go bad further. Well, it depends on how people set their limits; some do not, and some, like me, follow a certain limit, which I think is the most efficient way if you want to earn and minimise the loss. But I'm a person only, so sometimes I go by my limit. In instances where I feel I'm in luck, I would bet further, but of course I will secure my capital; I will only bet the money that I have gained, like a break even in trading.

This is one of the most common problems for other crypto traders or holders. They tend to risk new coins just to hope to ride the bull run, but it can be the opposite because some of the altcoins are scams or, let's say, don't have the potential to earn. One thing is that many people on social media promote altcoin just for their own benefits. I personally trade or do stuff in altcoins, and it didn't go well. That's why I only rely on bitcoin, as I can see a lot of things related to bitcoin, get some tips in this forum about bitcoin, and because bitcoin is more popular, there will be a lot of potential profit, especially in trading, as many people trade on it, and because of that, the price could change. In short, it creates a potential profit. So from now on I don't get involved in altcoins.

But also keep in mind that there are gamblers out there who're beyond help by themselves. Although therapy is a good solution to aid the addiction of a gambler, it's still up to that person if he's going to change. The therapy is useless if the person doesn't have the conviction to change. It's two-way therapy. That's why I believe the most lost cost to aiding addiction is yourself and your drive to change; without that, the gambler will never stop until the end of the line. A possible solution also is to socialise with friends and family; they could help you divert your attention; they could help you realise how bad it may be for you if you keep ondiving yourself in your addiction. I think therapy or rehabilitation is the last option if the person is in need of help; it is costly and doesn't guarantee that the person will change.

I agree with this. It's better to say to a newbie in crypto the harsh reality that crypto or bitcoin isn't something that if you think you want to invest in it, you will do it. It's not that simple; entering into bitcoin without knowledge or an idea about it will cost you badly. I'm not gatekeeping, just saying that bitcoin should not be taken lightly just because you see its hype or you see that it is in demand these days. And bitcoin can't give you a guarantee that you will earn from it. That's why I suggest that someone who wants to be involved in bitcoin first read forums like this one so they can pick up a lot of understanding and knowledge necessary for their bitcoin journey so they will not be in a miserable situation and regret their decision. So yeah its okay to be honest and harsh if you want to help somebody. 

Yes, instead of gambling, find another means of earning. If that person really aims to earn money and does gambling thinking that he or she could profit from it and doesn't do well, then I suggest finding another hustle like investment or trading. In that way, they could divert their attention to other things. I personally once experienced being a gambling addict and experienced a great loss, but when I realised that I divert my attention to trading, which is also hard but worthy, right now even if I do gambling just a little or a few times, I still have a decent way of earning. It is risky, yes, but it's more fine than wasting too much money on gambling. I only treat gambling as my hobby and make sure I don't go overboard with my gambling boundaries. So I agree to divert attention to other things instead of getting stuck in gambling and suffering more.

I disagree. It's normal to have doubts about gambling or your play, especially if you are experiencing a continuous loss. It will affect your gambling strategy and your decision-making. Maybe in your situation it's not because you won, or, in short, you didn't let yourself be affected by your doubt. I have experienced a lot of that kind of situation. That's why I train myself to not be affected by my doubt; instead, I use my mind and focus only on what I'm doing, because I believe having a clear mind in the middle of gambling will help you to decide and think carefully. If you let doubt take over, then it's over. You will certainly never think straight while gambling. Anyway, congrats on your win. From a small profit, it becomes a big profit, which is a good sign that you have luck. Keep up and earn more. I hope I also have the luck you have.
