1281  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tips on staying responsible. on: October 19, 2023, 12:18:53 PM
Set a limit and have a fine mindset; without these characteristics, I think, the person will be miserable at gambling. With a limit in mind, you will know when to stop playing gambling and stop further losses, which is a common problem for many gamblers; they will keep on chasing their losses until they notice that they dig up their own grave. A fine mindset is the partner for setting your limit; with a mindset in mind, you will be aware of your decisions and functionality; without a mindset, it's like you don't have a path or a goal in gambling. I personally refine this concept myself to minimise my losses and keep on playing while enjoying gambling. Gambling is fun for me; it depends on other people, but for me, gambling is also a serious matter. Of course, one of my sources of income side hustles is at least wishing a big jackpot.
1282  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you leave gambling if your future wife/husband tells you to do this ? on: October 19, 2023, 10:39:21 AM
Will you leave gambling if your future wife/husband tells you to do this ?

Absolutely not.The reason being the simple one as I do not believe anyone can quit gambling for good because as they say vice comes out only when our soul comes out meaning when we die.My wife knows and she does not say anything as long as I am a responsible gambler that maximum I spend 100 dollars a month for gambling which is nothing compared to our both salaries and as such she does not care,she sometimes tells me to stop for my own good when I keep buying the bonus in slot machines like crazy and spend several hours playing but she would never order me to quit.

It's easier said than done. Remember, you have a wife and probably a family. There may be circumstances in which you will come to your senses and limit or completely stay away from gambling. From my experience since I've met my girlfriend, I limit my gambling hobby because I want to be more responsible, and I want my girlfriend to see me as a responsible person who will not waste too much money doing gambling. Yeah, I still do gambling, but only a very small portion of my money or salary. I'll make sure it doesn't affect my daily life or that of my partner and family. In short, no, I still do not stop gambling, but only limitedly. Instead,  I do investment and trading to have another side hustle besides my job, and by doing investment and trading, I have a high chance of increasing my money; I just have to invest time and effort in it.
1283  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I was ripped off on: October 19, 2023, 01:51:04 AM
Whenever you read stories like this I feel it is important to remember that it wasn’t some failure of a protocol or software bug that lead to this rip off occurring. It was just a standard run of the mill scammer that happened to find a victim willing to send funds online in a non-reversible fashion. Let his mistake be your education.
Let's also see that the victim is also to blame. Remember,  there's no scammer if there is to be scamming, as he says he doesn't have any information about the recipient, and even if he does, there's no way to trace who's the owner of that address. That's why there are so many scammers out there because they know that some people can be easily fooled. I'm not victim-blaming here, but that's the fact: before sending money or your asset, you have the responsibility to assess first if the person with whom you're in a transaction is legitimate and trustworthy. You should conduct an assessment and also ask for proof or anything else that could identify the legitimacy of the person. This will serve as his lesson, but what about the others? We should spread awareness about this matter, especially about cryptocurrency-related transactions.
1284  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Question for those who loose too frequently in gambling on: October 19, 2023, 12:38:02 AM
I have often wondered about the people who have lost a lot in gambling and who almost loose in every gambling activity they participate. What is their reason or motivation to continue even after so many losses?

3 reasons: fun, thrill, and money. First, fun or entertainment. Well, I treat my gambling hobby as my entertainment to pass time or relieve my stress after work or during work. thrill. Well, we know gambling has the concept of "risk," so you will be thrilled by every game or bet you make. The bonus is that when you win, the thrill is worth it. and, most importantly, money. What else do we do for gambling? I'll be hypocritical if I say I don't do it for money. I treat gambling as my side hustle, of course with discipline and a good mindset, so I will not have a problem in terms of my gambling hobby. I also experienced too many losses in a row, but if I face that situation, I have a mindset that I should stop, rest, or be refreshed for, let's say, days or a week for me not to be greedy and make unreasonable decisions by continuously playing even if I know I'm in a bad situation.
1285  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cash out or keep playing? on: October 18, 2023, 10:41:27 PM
Ideally, my answer to this question would be that the gambler should cash out and go home. It seems like the perfectly normal thing to do however for me I would keep playing. Since I have been lucky so far I may have a bigger look so to keep playing would be what would make logical sense for me. I will willingly accept the risk that is involved in keeping playing and be fine with the outcome. Please note that I'll do this for games were I have experience in and I am familiar with. For unfamiliar games where I win at first play, I'll withdraw the winnings and leave.
Well, that's quite risky, as you said, but you do have a point. If you know yourself, you are in luck, and you are a bit of an expert in your games, then it's worth the risk. But also, I don't recommend this mindset if the readers of this comment see it because not all have the same scenario as you've said. My best advice is that, just like what I do in trading, I do it in gambling. For example, if I set a stop-loss and take-profit indicator in gambling, whenever I reach either of these indicators, I'll take what it is, either lose or win. With that, I'm confident to say that I can minimise my losses while gaining more from gambling. You see, gambling is very fun. I treat this as my entertainment and, at the same time, my investment aside from trading.
1286  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do your parents know about your gambling habit ? on: October 18, 2023, 02:35:46 AM
Nope, and I don't have a plan on letting them know that I do gambling. The first reason is because of the normal norms; gambling is a bad image for many, so I know my parents will not be happy about that or they will be concerned about me. The second reason is because I don't want them to be involved, or, let's say, as long as I don't let them involved in my habit, then I think not letting them know that I do gambling is good as long as anything that could happen because of my habit will only affect me.
1287  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Don’t push playing more on: October 17, 2023, 01:27:19 PM
The only thing that makes me keep up on the breakeven side is the increased on wager to recover my losses but my gambling result is literally 1 win to 3 or more losses ratio. This is how bad my overall game.

First of all what you did in this statement shows that you let your greed and being irresponsible to take over your decision,  resulting to you losing more money, raising your wage just to think that you can recover your lost is not a smart way of thinking in only imply that you are desperate and wanting a shortcut to chase your loses. This should serve as your lesson and to the other readers that this kind of thinking or strategy in gambling doesn't work it will only cost you more.

1289  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If we lose in gambling, what do we need to do? on: October 16, 2023, 01:54:16 PM
There's no straight answer to this question.
We don't know how much is "a lot" and we don't know what your win/lose rate is.
For instance, you could be a gambler who is losing half of his paycheck every month, his win/rate is at 30%, or lower, suffers from depression...
Or, you could be a gambler who lost a lot in our terms, normal people's terms, but he doesn't care because it's less than 1% of his net worth and he doesn't suffer emotionally at all, gambling is a social thing for him.

I'd say that if you're the first case or similar, stop playing because it destroys your life. If you're more like the second guy, keep going.
You are right in there. Some gamblers may have lose a lot but as long as they can still manage their gambling losses and expenses, I think there’s no reason to quit from gambling. But for other gamblers who have obviously gained too much losses than their winnings, and made their lives suffer financially and emotionally, then the best answer for that is to really stop gambling for good. That is, if they are also willing to leave gambling.
It's easy to say that they should stop, or you should stop in gambling if you face a lot of losses in gambling but in reality it doesn't really apply to those who already make their self sink more in the addiction of gambling, for those who's already too addicted, advice such as that don't work for them as they lose their discipline. The best way for an gambling addict to either something too impactful will happen to their lives that could wake them up from their addiction or do a rehabilitation. In some cases family and friends will help them to forget gambling slowly.
1290  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who among you here is gambling at work? on: October 15, 2023, 12:38:25 PM
I do not really have a problem gambling from work because I have everything well planned out. It does not interfere with my job in any way whatsoever... I spend less than 30 minutes predicting and placing my bets. Although this is possible because of the nature of my job that requires I am on my computer with internet access always.

Gambling to me is just a sides hustle to compliment what I do. I don't plan with gambling money neither am I desperate to win. So to me it is fine gambling from work.
But you have to remember that even though you can plan it well, you can experience changes to your plan because we are only humans who can experience mood changes. It can cause us to deviate from the plans we have made. But hopefully, you will stick to your plan so that you don't experience any problems if you continue to gamble while you work. And I hope that when gambling, you only use the money you can afford and still control yourself because you are gambling at work, where someone may find out.
I slightly agree and disagree, agree because yes anything can change with a slight factor, for example you only plan to play for 30 mins but at some point you hooked up in the game and doesn't notice the time past by. Disagreed, as long as you do your work, finished your task then there's no problem with that. i personally play gambling at work and it doesn't affect my performance and work as long as I know my priority and I know how manage my time.
1291  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If we lose in gambling, what do we need to do? on: October 14, 2023, 01:15:48 PM
For me if we loss in gambling the best thing to do is to control ourselves cause without self-control we loss more and more so once we loss a big amount then we should take a control and focus on our goal which is to minimize our bet, when we don't have control we bet spontaneously and there's a big chance that we get addicted and once it will happened then a lot of consequences we need to face.

I agree, but to add, I think with able to control yourself, you should also have discipline, because with discipline then it will strengthen your ability to control yourself to gamble more and can lead to more losses. But to those who's already addicted it will be difficult for them to fight the urge to play more as they have a goal to chass their losses which is a wrong path because it will only lead you in more worst situation. So for me "discipline" is the most important for you to control yourself to limit yourself in gambling.
1292  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Still not a safe practice even if it works on: October 13, 2023, 01:09:15 AM
It depends on the website itself if they have a rule prohibiting the usage of VPN. VPN somehow is not illegal to use because they use this tool. For example, if a specific website is not accessible in a certain country, you can use a VPN to change your IP, but of course using a legitimate VPN is much safer than purchasing a subscription to a trusted VPN application. To sum up, it's much better to first assess the casino website to see if they allow you to use such a tool to be safe.
1293  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambler avoiding friends after a big win. on: October 12, 2023, 05:56:17 AM
Well, that is called greedy; it shows one of the traits of a greedy person when it comes to gambling. It's common to see or hear this kind of situation; people tend to be easily blinded by the money. That's why their bad thoughts will come out like that. That guy doesn't deserve the win, if I say so, but I don't have the right to say it or to judge the person. But that is a very wrong action towards your friends. If I were one of their friends, I would not stay friends with that person; I'd rather avoid him for life.
1294  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Relying on gamble wins is dangerous to mental health on: October 11, 2023, 03:55:44 AM
I met a friend who used about $1 to play gamble to win about $2500 in a game of different matches, all the early games went well but the last game cut which made him loose the game.  This lose made him to be sick for 3 days, the reason for his reaction was not because of the money he used to bet but he felt so bad because he has already put all his hope on the money he would have won.

People needs not to put all their hope in games they are not sure of winning, because relying on it can be very dangerous to the mental health. Play gamble and remove your mind from the money that will be gained till it is achieved.

I think what your friend did was to secure what he earned. For example, if he earned $2500, he would divide the profit so that one was for capital to be used in more gambling games and the other was to be secured. That's why he got sick because he regretted the money he lost. Imagine going from $1 to $250 and back to zero. That would be really depressing for your friend. That should be a lesson to him: not to be greedy; be smart and wise in handling your money or profit properly. and also be disciplined; don't put all that you've earned into gambling.
1295  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you seen gambling advertisements on TV? Opinion. on: October 10, 2023, 01:57:16 AM
I think it only applies in some countries or is allowed in some countries because in my country, TV channels are not allowed to advertise anything related to gambling, as we have what we call the "MTRCB," or "Movie and Television Review and Classification Board," which is in charge of reviewing anything that is shown on television. What you should also worry about is social media, because gambling advertisements are more prominent on that platform, and by clicking the link, your child could easily access the website, accidentally or not.
1296  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and it effects on: October 09, 2023, 02:29:30 AM

This gambling section is really useful, not only for knowing how to gamble responsibly but also for sharing their gambling addiction experiences. It's really insightful when someone shares their story, and it leaves us second-guessing of our choice about gambling. We learn about gambling and its effects from the stories shared by people who have gambled before or are still gambling. We need more people who share their experience with gambling because more gambling ads are legal than awareness against gambling. Movies, shared experiences, and news are the sources from which we know about gambling, so learn from them and be aware.


Gambling had their own positive effect because of the more win from the gambling site.The gambler can start the business in the real life from the money he had received from the gambling site.If the gambling money was huge like 6000$,So the gambler use fifty percentage of the money to the gambling.Use the remaining money again to the gambling site.If he is so lucky,he will get the biggest win again in the same game.

What you're saying is impossible; you cannot call that positive effect if what you stated is not true. Maybe some achieve that, but not all, so keep on track with reality and stop giving such an idea that is good to be true. I'm not saying it's impossible, but don't engrave such an idea on the reader that sounds like a fantasy. Let's be real: even if you earn what you've said, it's not sure that he or she will use some of it for business. Not all people or gamblers are the same. "The more you win from the gambling site," that phrase is nearly impossible unless you have a lot of luck.
1297  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you cheat in gambling? on: October 08, 2023, 12:35:03 PM
No, not because I don't want it, but it is impossible. Even in a physical or digital casino, in that kind of industry, it is impossible to cheat because, of course, they do measures to make it impossible. The casino itself will not cheat you or trick you, probably because it's part of their business. I know you're all aware of this stuff, but in reality, most casinos do it. Instead of cheating, I'd rather wish to be super lucky in gambling, even if it's one big time. That's what I'm wishing for.
1298  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: They know the truth but they don't want to accept it, publicly on: October 07, 2023, 08:41:32 AM

Will you still participate if money is not involved? Many people will easily quit if all casinos are to be turned into no-money games, isn't it?

Money is still the real reasons why we gamble, been addicted or not, mutual greed or not, all gambling is done to make more money or get some form of reward in the end.

No, let's be honest, money is the main purpose why there is casino, casino or gambling is an entertainment yes, but money makes the casino, casino or gambling to gambling, I could still play casino with friends and such but it will be more fun if theres a money involved. That is the most practical reasoning why gambling and casino is alive.
1299  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: This is not Practical on: October 06, 2023, 02:13:07 AM
i also feel like its more of a theoretical thing than practical. but i believe with discipline it can be achieved. where people get it wrong is that how do you estimate or separate the money that you can afford to lose? if you can sincerely answer this question then it will help you to gamble responsibly and not to be addicted.

Simply allocate a portion of your money to use in gambling or as a capital to start. In that way, only that money will be used to play, which is the meaning of "money you can afford to lose." Also, that portion of money will not affect your financial stability; it is also called boundary money, which means that's it; it is the only money you will spend in playing and will not overboard, to avoid a big loss. I think this should be a good practice for the gamblers or set this as their mindset, but they can only do that if they have discipline.
1300  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Invest only in Bitcoin and never invest in shitcoin on: October 05, 2023, 05:55:06 AM
Why does shitcoin have such a bad reputation? Because shitcoin tends to be a tool to scam newbies or other crypto currency holders, this coin tends to have little to no value so that it could easily attract investors as it is cheap, but that is their purpose; the more you buy, the more they earn. and this coin has no immediate discernible purpose. The diminished value of a shitcoin is often due to failed investor interest because it was not created in good faith or because its price was based on speculation. So it is not recommended to invest in this kind of coin if you think it has no purpose, no reason why it was created, or no solid project.
