I was walking down my street this evening I saw some group of guys in a hidden corner of an uncompleted building playing WHOT games ordinarily I felt they are just spending usual time as friends and that they are playing the WHOT game to keep themselves busy while discussing.

But when I got closer to them I discovered that there was a dirty container close to them and inside the container is money they bet for the game they are playing , and if not careful observed you will never believe that they are playing bet games .

My curiosity led me closer to them I was interacting with one of them and at same time observing what they are doing , one thing I observed was that they stake with huge amount and they don’t give you change even when your money requires change instead you will use it and bet for another round.

So at this point I decided to bring it here to know or see different views from different intellects here on why do some people hide just to gamble or if it is the best way to gamble ?.

Everyone has his/her own personal view on the subject of gambling and it always lingers on this two perspectives in the society and also has an impact on the way people view and approach it. Gambling in whichever form it takes be it a play to earn stake game, online casino or simply playing with friends, often sparks a debate on its true nature as a fanfare activity or a financial trap to wreak people.

My experience
On March 26th, 2024, my friend and I visited a bar, where he normally played snooker with his friends, I would always sit close to watch and cheer him up while I drink and hardly played cause I'm not good at it, one of his play mates challenged him to a bet on drinks, with rules lower buys drinks for the next person for each round, my friend got serious and was on a winning steak and the scores was 12-3 under 2 hours of playing, while at the beginning of this game it was more fun fare when the score were still some how even and reachable, but now the other guy was sweating probably because of the price of the drink which was about 3k(3$) per bottle for the least beer, the look on his face has totally changed and I believe he never planned for the game to go that way.

Now while some folks would argue that gambling is fanfare, I believe there is a line to this and it gets to a point where we could wreak ourselves if you are not careful, no one needed to tell me, that fellow was grieved by his losses which was not supposed to be so if we are just having fun.

Gambling as a thrilling or exciting activity
For many persons, gambling is a very good way to add thrill to any activity or game to make it more entertaining, playing a regular game with nothing to gain or lose can be at time so boring and would hardly bring out your best but with a price involved everyone gets serious and wants to put more effort, making it a fun to be a part of.

Like when we normally set football competition in my street and everyone would have to contribute an amount to participate, it makes the whole event more thrilling and engaging for all.

Gambling as a pitfall trap
We all know how easy it is to get a habit out of gambling, that excessive dopamine would just make you going back for more untill your well out of control, the byproduct of gambling Is clearly a financial wreak and the idea of easy money or double your cash seems can lure even the most discipline into blindness and eventually a gambling addiction that would lead to indebtedness from chasing losses. With this much bad side gambling can also be seen as a dangerous social activity that can lead many to ruin if left unchecked.

The idea of personal responsibility has always been the key to evade from addiction but her is the big question.

How can one draw a line between having fun and getting addicted since they occurr in the same process?

Would education on gambling side effect help some people nor to get too engaged in it despite the thrilling experience it can offer?

What is your personal view on this[/b]

Here in my hood, someone staked $1,000 to a bet with little odds and to all hope that there was no possibilities of him loosing the game but revise be the case that the game got cut off in just 3 minutes for the game over and then he could had cashed his winning.
It is quite unfortunate that he staked above what he could not afford to loose. So out of frustrations and anger he broke his TV on the process.

After his temper became calm, he ended up regretting to had lost his bet and went such a mile of destroying his TV.

He now makes two different lost counts at the caused of his inability to control his gambling emotions and his over confidence to had staked what he can't afford to loosed.

Sometimes we spend money on unnecessary things. So we can avoid spending unnecessary money because we can survive without it. And we can start investing in Bitcoin with that money. We have to find a solid income source, even if it is small. So we can go ahead with our bitcoin investment. If we struggle now, we may build a bright future. Even students could save some money from their daily spending and invest in Bitcoin.

Hi everyone,

The way you play, which we can consider your playing strategy, plays an important role in determining your profit or loss, like other factors.

For me, when I play, I enter with the intention of double the amount of money and stop. This method may be followed by some people, and I do it sometimes. I determine the amount of money that I will gamble with, for example $100 and I try to get $200 and leave the casino or site if the plan worked  very well. If I am unlucky, once I lose $100, I will leave without adding a penny. What is interesting here is that even if I win, I stop and do not deviate from the scope of the plan. In such situations, especially when winning, the gambler may become greedy, and this may change the course of the game   .

What do you think of this method?
Is there anyone among you who does it?
Give us one of your winning strategies, of course if that is possible.

1. At what age will you allow your child to start gambling? that is if you will even allow for that at all?

2. At what age do you see yourself quit gambling? that is also if some of us are going to ever do so?

3. Ever since you have started gambling, have you ever achieve a satisfying level that makes you think it has good impact on you?

4. Would you have missed out on anything if you were not a gambler?

They'll both exist into this gambling industry no matter how online gambling would progress, we should make ourselves aware that not all people would really be loving on playing online and still nothing could
beat up that real ambiance and experience on which physical casinos that could give and this is something those gamblers do loving and this is where they do preferred it out.

If you do try to look around then those casinos are still on existence on which means that there's still that a huge demand and i dont see any decline. Despite on online gambling casinos rise
or demand but still there are gamblers who are really that preferring on playing into these places. They are still making that significant revenue and we've seen on how
still relevant they are even up in todays era.

Hi guys and ladies,

Sorry I can't share the Facebook post this thread stems from, as I lost the post, hours ago before deciding to bring it up as a discussion on this forum.

Like 6 to 7 hours ago, I was over there on Facebook scrolling my life-time away  , I came to this post where the user was advising readers on how bad gambling is, being a gambler myself, I decided to open the post in fall to read and know what the dude is all about, and from all the story, it seems the dude went all in on a gambling sprey which didn't turn out the way he had anticipated, according to him, he had lost all his life savings (over $60,000) to gambling and it all started with a bet of $10.

And right now, the dude is all out to castigate and discourage as many that are willing to give him a listening ear; from gambling, all for what? Because gambling didn't turn out well for him, he lost his entire life savings, and he now believed that that is exactly how every other persons out there gambling will lose too.

What do you make of this, I honestly do not know but deep inside of me, I feel it's absolutely wrong to advice people against doing something, just because you did the same thing and it did not favor you..

Do you guys think it's OK to advice other gamblers to quit gambling simply because of your own bad experience, does your bad experience mean that every other gambler out there will also have the same bad experience?
I will like some really useful discussions around this topic.

Is this the wrong advice? A friend of mine took over his father's company because he is so old already and he told me about the money thats available doing nothing in the bank.

I told him to think about investing that money if he wants to keep the company growing, I told him about how MicroStrategy is doing so well using Bitcoin as a strong backbone of the company, I believe that even a small company can turn big if they use Bitcoin as their main investment.

Or am I wrong? I need to know if this advice is a good one or a bad one, I gave him this advice because we are very close and also because I will do the same thing if I am in his shoe, this is the best thing i can think of right now.

Cryptocurrency:
 Cryptocurrency is a digital form of currency that not controlled by any government or any central authority.
In crypto, there is a high rate of return as compared to the real-estate. Cryptocurrency is decentralized (not controlled by any authority or any government). In crypto, u can trade at any time according to the condition of the market you can trade for a long or short period of time. As you wish. But in crypto, the price can swing at any time because any good or bad news is able to change the game.
Real-estate:
Real estate investors are those who purchase property to make profit. They buy residential, commercial or invest through funds. They make money when the value of the money over time increases.  Real estate provides us with a physical asset that can provide us security and stability as compared to cryptocurrency. Real estate property has high potential as compared to crypto to increase its value after a period of time.

Which one do you prefer?
