It is key to avoid any form of addiction at all costs, because once you are there the effort and determination needed to leave it behind is astronomical, however I really think that people underestimate how damaging an addiction can be and it is because of this they do not take the necessary steps to avoid it, and once they realize the truth there is nothing they can do but to try to improve the old-fashioned way, and unfortunately there are many people that fail on this goal and will keep their addiction for the rest of their lives. Right, we agree on this. It is very important to avoid any form of addiction at all costs. But in reality, this will involve all aspects of our lives. There are many addictions and causes, and not just gambling or things related to narcotics. In most cases it all starts from habit, and the habits we do become excessive and ultimately get out of control. as you said, when we realize that we fall into the addiction category, recovering requires effort accompanied by strong intention and determination. that is, if we are able to go through every temptation we face in recovery. The only thing that makes someone quit their addiction is that someone no longer has anything, in this case money, property, even work, and this applies to all addictions. The point is it's not the casino that's the problem, in this case it's gambling. but in ourselves, in most cases we don't have understanding and control over ourselves. in the end, we ourselves suffer. IMO, there is no best method other than ourselves. In essence, we are given intelligence to think and the problem is how we are able to control it. what I say, will not completely stop the addiction. However, it can reduce excessive habits. In fact, we can change our mindset. but all of that, comes back to the gamblers themselves. Recognizing addiction is an important step, and recovery requires a combination of effort, determination, and often external support. As you pointed out, addiction can lead to the loss of many aspects of one's life, including financial stability, relationships, and even employment. This can serve as a wake-up call for some individuals to seek help and make positive changes. There are some gamblers who have an addiction but do not recognize their addiction. As a result they cannot even recover from that position. I've talked to a few addicted gamblers whose behavior perfectly describes addiction but they deny their addiction when I suggest something to get them out of their addiction. They are not addicted gamblers as they say. But his family members consider him an addicted gambler. Those who identify themselves as addicts they will definitely recover them self. Gambling addicts are never willing to admit that they are addicted to gambling because they cannot fill their own addiction. They then consider excessive gambling as normal. So you can never convince a gambling addict that he is deeply addicted to gambling and that it is harming him. So it is very difficult to force those people to Quit gambling. And do their families also start to feel disgusted with their behavior |

If Australia give a 280 plus target for india then Australia has a good chance to win this match.
It is highly unlikely they will score anything above 265 and even if Australia is able to score above 280 runs, India will chase down the total considering this is the last chance for many of the players in this Indian squad to prove their worth to get into the World Cup playing eleven especially for Suryakumar Yadav and Shreyas Iyer. Terrible wicketkeeping by KL Rahul as he missed 4 or 5 chances behind the stumps including run out chances and he should hand over the gloves to Ishan Kishan rather than sleeping behind the stumps. Australia has set a target of 277, and at the moment, the game seems to be in India's favor. Both Indian openers are batting with a good run rate. While Shubman Gill appears confident and he's aiming for a big score with clean and precise shots. The pitch seems typical for India, challenging to bat on under the sun but becoming more favorable for batsmen when the dew sets in. India vs Australia match was very well played and Australia played well but their run rate was slightly lower than India due to which Australia lost the match by few runs. Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shubman Gill deserve most of the credit for India's victory. Because both of them are collecting very good runs due to which India is much ahead of Australia in terms of run rate and win the match. India won the match by 5 wickets Against Australia which is a good achievement for India |

Yes, Gambling addiction has strained a lot of relationships through financial instabilities emotional turmoil, social isolation, and family problems. Gambling which was meant to be a popular kind of entertainment for many and was designed to provide a temporary escape from everyday life and also help one to be more observant mentally task your brain and it is also good for your mental brain. When it becomes an addiction it causes financial strain the strain can manifest in various ways including the loss of shared savings, debt accumulation, and financial secrecy which may lead to strained communication between partners. This communication breakdown can prevent couples, friends, and associates from working together.
Gambling can affect relationships because gambling can almost destroy a person. And because of the damage to his financial condition, his behavior changes. And because of this, friends, girlfriends, family can create a bad ignorance with everyone. So it can be said that gambling can affect relationships |

Well now a days i observe the crypto market and now the trending topics is bot the projects like unibot , banana bot , unichat and many more giving huge profits to the early birds now i heard an upcoming project name Bubble bot and the website is Bubblebot.finance has a great potential and also spot trading, Hedge/risk on pegged asset, multistaking , future trading with limit orders and much more is offering on his telegram and discord bots and the team looks really competitive but my question is new projects are quite risky but also gives the huge profit so i want opinion from experts
Here is the website:
Bubblebot.finance
The more hype there is in projects, the riskier it is to invest. Those who can invest before the hype builds up can gain a lot from it. But after the hype is created, investing there becomes almost the same thing as investing in gambling. So it is wise to be careful of these. And I visited this website and from what I saw, this project did not seem to me to have any potential for future. So I will not encourage you to invite here. But if you want to invest personally, you can do your own research and make a personal decision |

|
on: September 22, 2023, 04:14:18 PM

Both sides are going into the match with full confidence in much as the Gunners have not been in their best performance yet this season but are yet to lose any match and sitting fourth in the English premier league and with a comprehensive win over PSV with their best-attacking display of the campaign I think they are the favorite, while spurs who sits second with 13 points from their opening five games after a dramatic win last time a trip to emirate stadium is their toughest of the season so far and will provide a good indicator of exactly where spurs are in their rebuild under the new manager.
Both teams have been in their best form so far and have been fit playing just fine. We should all know that irrespective of the fact that football is a competition, there must definitely be a winner and a loser and by chance any team can win the match come the match day. Here is my prediction; Arsenal 2 : 1 Tottenham. Yes, this could be a possible prediction. Arsenal is a very potential team to win. Tottenham is doing good But there are doubts whether they can win the match against Arsenal. However, Tottenham played well in the last matches and because of their good performance in the last 5 matches, they are in a better position than Arsenal in the points table. However, the match will be a tight game. Because Tottenham's preparation is very good while Arsenal already has a very good playing record and they are considered as a good team. |

2FA Can Protect A Gambler From Hacking His Account But How 2FA Can Save A Gambler From Deep Gambling Addiction? The most effective strategy to be safe in gambling is to gamble within a limit and always keep yourself in control without panicking. 2FA will still come in handy when a gambler wins high-amount bets and his casino account is at risk for hackers. Because if the fact of winning a large amount is known, his account may be attacked by hackers |

X has been my best social media because it is the place I mostly visit when it comes to getting information about cryptocurrencies, but if I see this change and money is required to use Twitter, I am not affected because my account on X is not active at all. All I can just do is to click on a link to visit what I want to visit.
This may open ways for competitors.
If no one can be able to access the site unless payment is made, I will not use Twitter anymore.
Just as the name Twitter was beautiful, it was also great at work. But while Twitter still works well, it feels a bit uncomfortable to change its name to X. Twitter was a very popular social media for cryptocurrency promotion. Hashtags, Mentions work very well here, which is why Twitter is a very popular social media for promoting crypto projects. But Twitter's popularity is waning slightly for its name change to X |

Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Low cap altcoins best for rising price?
|
on: September 21, 2023, 03:35:59 PM

Are you collecting low cap altcoins for the bull market? It sounds like you think low cap altcoins can easily make 100x profits. I don't think so and even if the supply of a good quality project is high then you will get good profit there. Many new investors tend to follow supply more. You should know that there are many low cap altcoins that can't even sail the market in bull seas.
If a token is listed on a good exchange like Binance, Coinbase but currently has a very low market cap, there is a high probability that those tokens will be pumped high. So investing in them can be a logical direction. Investing in coins with low market cap is more profitable than investing in coins or tokens with already has high market cap. When the market conditions are good, those low cap tokens will pump multiple times and high cap will gain. However, those tokens must be listed on a good exchange |

Roma has changed in a good way in this season they had more power this time.
The Roma we saw against Empoli was really amazing and unlike the last season, they had a much better performance and better forwards. In the last season, Dybala was the only option for Muriniho and obviously, he couldn't find any alternative players for Dybala, but this time gets hired Lukaku and Azmoun who can help them in the next Serie A games and make this team a scary openment for other teams.
I must say that I was surprised by Roma`s excellent signing campaign, transfer and loan campaign. They moved very well, beating very experienced teams like Juventus (I`m referring to Lukaku). This allows him to have very strong players who give that extra sprint: and we see it works. 7 goals to Empoli. Roma have a good record after playing this match. The 7-0 goal match is highly commendable. It is very rare to see a team win a match with such a score. Roma never let Empoli hold the ball for long on that match. Everyone was very surprised to see Roma's performance in that match. Even a team like Napoli could not make such a score before with a similar strong team like Empoli |

You may able to control yourself to not gamble in front of your kids, but can you know if your kids' friends are gamblers? can you know if gambling ads are everywhere in your kids' cellphones? this mean, you can't really control your kids and it's all depends on your kids.
Early education is a must, but when they're grow up, you need to accept their decision.
Many people are able to do good things because of friends and many people get involved in bad addictions because of friends. But parental awareness can go a long way in keeping their children safe. A child may forget something learned from friends. But anything learned from parents cannot be passed on to a child. And this is why parents must refrain from gambling in front of their children. Otherwise, his children also will not hesitate to gamble |

In many cases, we keep the Auto Renewal system on at various places so that when the subscription period of this item expires, the time is instantly renewed. This is possible because the bank is a centralized platform and has an authority team to manage it. But if Bitcoin is accepted for payment like Debit/Credit Card everywhere around the world. In that case how Bitcoin can provide auto renewal system where we use non-custodial wallet to hold Bitcoin. Which has full access to us, no one can control it if they want. what to you think about it. How Bitcoin can provide Subscription Auto Renewal solution?
Bitcoin will never provide an auto payment solution. The control of Bitcoin is completely in your hands, so there is no possibility of auto payment through Bitcoin on any site. And this is why Bitcoin is so secure then another payment gateway. And since no one can control Bitcoin, if you keep Bitcoin in a non-custodial wallet, there is no chance of auto payment on anywhere. And in this case, Bitcoin will not be able to provide a solution to the auto renewal system |

The match is still ongoing and it seems Bangladesh has a good chance of winning if they can take a few more wickets in next overs.
Yeah. They need to keep taking wickets at regular intervals in order to restrict NZ under 200 which is a losing total. Rahman is the only one who bowled well so far while the NZ batsmen are playing well currently. Expected Williamson to return in this match, but it seems that he is trying hard to be fit before the showpiece event. The match is looking good, Bangladesh is dominating the match with excellent bowling. The current run rate is below 5 but one big partnership can change the game completely. If Bangladesh wants to win the match then they would need to restrict the New Zealand side under 250 runs. The way they are playing now it looks like they might be able to do that. Mustafizur Rahman has taken 3 wickets and after this over he would be left with only three overs. I think after he completes this spell, NZ would start forming a partnership as he is the only bowler looking good now. Due to the rain, the bowling on the pitch is getting an added benefit which is not helping the New Zealand batsmen. Moreover, the New Zealand batsmen batted at a very slow pace in the beginning of the match and they probably did not score any runs in 10 overs but only scored 28 runs. Here New Zealand kept the score low as a team which would be a major hurdle in their 200 run collection. On the other hand, the bowling department of Bangladesh has performed well and if the batting department can perform well then the first ODI match can go in favor of Bangladesh. The way New Zealand are playing, it is difficult for them to collect 200 runs. However, the rain stopped the game for a while. Bangladesh is batting very well. Bangladesh can play such matches well but in any serious match they lose the match badly. In the Asia Cup, Bangladesh lost the easy matches very badly but beat India in the last match and left the Asia Cup. Therefore, it is very difficult to predict the game of Bangladesh in advance. But Bangladesh is not bad at playing cricket. But many of them have the record of losing easy matches Bangladesh play their home matches well because they are used to playing in those stadiums. This ODI match is held in Bangladesh due to which the performance of Bangladesh looks very good. As Bangladesh are performing well in bowling in today's match, they have the potential to perform well in batting as well too. But the game is delayed due to rain. I agree with you that it is difficult for New Zealand to score even 200 runs in this match. They have very little chance of crossing 200 runs |

Yes a child always learns everything from his parents. So they will get used to them as their parents do in front of them. So if a parent gambles in front of their children then the children may try to gamble as a result eventually those children will also be attracted to gambling and become addicted to gambling. Which will bring great danger in the life of that child. So of course a parent should hide there gambling habit from kids
A child whose parents fail to teach him properly will indulge in bad habits including gambling. Children will grow up in the same way as their parents teach them from childhood. Gambling in a minor is very dangerous because life is worth it. He doesn't understand what it is. When he becomes an adult he will understand everything in his life then he will think about his future even if he gambles and later indulges in other bad habits. But a minor will indulge in gambling and other bad habits without thinking. Gambling is a place of entertainment so it is natural that adults come here to entertain and along with entertainment there is a chance to win some huge amounts in a short period of time which is why people are most attracted to gambling. However, those who are adults can control themselves in all cases, but those who are children or minors cannot control themselves, so they have a lot of risk in gambling. And this is why a parent should never gamble in front of their children |

UAE vs Qatar
The 11 out of 16 matches in 2023 Men Gulf T20I Championship between UAE and Qatar started a some time ago. UAE won the toss and decide to bat first just like they did in previous match against Kuwait where they give good target to Kuwait and they failed to chase down this. At this moment, UAE batting live and they scored 31 runs without losing any wickets in 2 overs. Their batting performance is looking brilliant and if they continue like this, I think they set a target above 170 runs. A. Sharma and M. Waseem are currently at the field. In the previous match, M. Waseem vey close to a century. Let's see he can complete his century in this match or not? Right now, M. Waseem scored 8 runs in 5 ball and A. Sharma has scored 25 run in 11 balls. If they continue their partnership UAE chances of winning will be very high. On the other hand Qatar bowling performance does not seem good but the true result will be know at the end of the match.
UAE performed very well ans set a target of 167 runs against Qatar in Gulf T20I championship. UAE showed excellent performance in this championship and won 3 matches out of 3 matches. UAE has good batting lineup and have good bowlers. In T20 format, it is dangerous team. A. Sharma performed very well and complete half century with very minimum balls and made 58 runs in 44 balls. Now Qatar is batting and Qatar score is 67 with fall of 3 wickets in 9 overs. Qatar can win if partnership occurs between two batsman of 70 runs, others UAE have more chances to win. Batting first, UAE set a target of 166 runs. And Qatar on the other hand have completed 10 overs so far. and scored 69 for the loss of 3 wickets. Qatar's run rate is still slightly lower than UAE's so Qatar will have to play the next 10 overs with more care if they want to win the match. It is still possible for Qatar to get better if they play the match with a little more focus. They need about 10 runs per over to win the match. But I am still not sure how much it will be possible for Qatar. |

Privacy is important when it comes to Cryptocurrency, so why do exchanges like Bitget require KYC (Know Your Customer) for all users, even those who only want to get airdrops? I thought KYC should be for those transacting many Bitcoins, Is it really necessary for everyone?
The reason for making KYC mandatory is to prevent activities like money laundering. Because his kyc document will be given there. Whether or not to use a platform is entirely a personal matter for an individual. If you don't want to do kyc you can use DEX instead of CEX where no kyc is required. But if you are using CEX then you need to complete kyc as it falls within their terms & conditions. And to use their service must follow their terms & conditions |

England vs Ireland Today these two teams will play its first ODI in Ireland. Ireland has the home ground but England is looking much stronger as compare to Ireland team. They played one test match and England won that match with a good margin. And now they have 3 ODI matches series. So here again England has much chanceito win this series easily. Let's watch.  England has top class batting, bowling and fielding. England performed excellent in any format not only against Ireland. It played brilliant against heavy teams like India, south Africa and Australia. England is ICC World Cup champion. Ireland played 13 matches against England and only won in 2 matches. England won 10 matches. One match ended without result. Now, rain affected on match. Toss is delayed, I hope rain will stop and we will have opportunity to enjoy interesting match between Ireland and England. If rain stops and toss will be conducted, then England players will play well and will stand a good score. God knows what will be happen soon. Yes England is very good in cricket game compared to Ireland England is very good team so today match prediction points towards England they will win the match. If England bat first, they can give Ireland a target of more than 300 runs as an ODI match. The match was supposed to start earlier but the match got delayed. But England will always be more likely to win, no matter when the match starts. |

Yes, Gambling addiction has strained a lot of relationships through financial instabilities emotional turmoil, social isolation, and family problems. Gambling which was meant to be a popular kind of entertainment for many and was designed to provide a temporary escape from everyday life and also help one to be more observant mentally task your brain and it is also good for your mental brain.

This communication breakdown can prevent couples, friends, and associates from working together.
Gambling changes a person's financial status. If you win from gambling, the financial condition develops and if you lose in gambling, the financial condition worsens. So since the whole financial situation is involved here some effects can wear on the relationship due to gambling. If you have money, you will have good relations with all your relatives, including family, and if your financial condition is bad, you will lose relations with everyone. So gambling can definitely affect relationships |

Hey gamblers' community, hope you're all doing great.
I wanted to convey my message here that gambling in front of our kids may put adverse effects on their growing minds and they may also take the wrong path and start gambling (either by asking you personally for funds or by stealing it in order to fulfill their gambling cravings).
I'm sharing this because I saw this issue with my kiddo who was once watching me gamble at a website playing blackjack and she started asking me more about the game. Then one day, she wanted to play it herself and asked me if she can go for it and I said "no, it's not your legal age to go for such games". So, it's better to keep our kiddos away from gambling and let them focus on their studies, else it'd actually ruin everything for the whole family if the kid takes the wrong path.
Yes a child always learns everything from his parents. So they will get used to them as their parents do in front of them. So if a parent gambles in front of their children then the children may try to gamble as a result eventually those children will also be attracted to gambling and become addicted to gambling. Which will bring great danger in the life of that child. So of course a parent should hide there gambling habit from kids |

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Have a clear understanding of what DCA means
|
on: September 19, 2023, 03:03:28 PM

DCA Means Doller cost Average. Following DCA is a matter of personal preference as it only minimizes everyone's losses. To calculate, let's say you invest $1000 in Bitcoin without investing the entire amount in one transaction. Divide it into parts like investing $100 per week so you can buy bitcoins at different prices to minimize your losses. And if you invest the entire $1000 in one transaction, you will lose a lot if the price of Bitcoin goes down, and if the price goes up, you will gain more.
DCA strategy is mostly followed by small investors. But the big investors don't care about DCA. But DCA is a good strategy for investing in crypto. And people who are working or have low income but are interested in investing in crypto cannot invest huge amounts so even if they don't want to follow DCA automatically becomes DCA. Because most of them invest some amount after getting salary every month |
