Have you ever played on a game were it is totally a scam without realizing it? I just seen a facebook post in which there are several games that doesn't let you win even though how many times you try and you'll just feel like giving up then they will tell you that you won or let you win ... but without realizing, it was just a tactic/s to have you play until you burn your eyelids and money to that game.

This applies on both Gambling Online/IRL, So tell me have you ever seen one of these games and you'll just realize it after the game or watching other people play that certain game?

According to some articles that I've read, almost 80% of the people are suffering from gambling addiction.
Agree, sometimes you're not aware about your illness and will discover it once you take the effect of your actions or maybe there are other things that gets affected. So it may take a lot of time just to recover a person who's really suffering in gambling addiction.

Addiction is one of the hardest mental illnesses to treat so be careful on compulsive gambling.  

I disagree. It depends on the person in charge for you as how well, especially their methods, in handling such cases. It would be hard at first of course and some may say that they listened but can't stop doing the same thing over and over again. I think most seek professional help in their own volition because they had become aware that their addiction had led to unwanted events taking place in their lives. All I can say is that treating addiction is a process.

Clinics or professional help wont really be that affective if a certain gambler do have that severe addiction.He wont listen to anyone for sure.
To treat oneself then everything should really be realized on what are the things would be mainly affected if they do tolerate such addiction.
Not only financial aspect but also on social or family relationship would be destroyed.Gambling industry is really become profitable due to this behavior.

For those who play very normal and not addicted to gambling, they also often do not store data on spreadsheets, so expect a gambling addict to be able to store their achievements on a spreadsheet, that would definitely not be possible when they were lacking in awareness and alert when engaging in gambling, they will never stop gambling with this method, if this method can be successfully implemented, the number of gambling addicts has decreased significantly. Another reason for not storing on a spreadsheet is that countries seem to be putting gambling on the blacklist, gambling is against the law and no one who wants to store materials can bring them to prison

Keeping a record of all of your losses and winnings in gambling will definitely make a gambler sobs and regret. Buy i don't think that will be enough to stop a gambler to stay away from gambling because he will still  tempts to play no matter what happens as long he finds gambling as a hobby and makes him greedy.

There are times that whenever your family and your friend advise to you about stopping on gamble, you keep on ignoring them, you do not listen to them anymore even though they care so much to you and when you deny them then you may consider yourself having a compulsive gambling disorder, you don't care anymore to anyone, the only thing you want is gambling.
I suggest that if you feel that you are like that, you may visit some professionals to help you.

I never make spreadsheet for my gambling because I only use free money from faucet, airdrop, give away and bonus deposit. Always disciplines with rules to avoid addicted because the main problem is not about win or loss but about addicted. This problem only can reduce by disciplines and I must say also giving positive impact into my trading activity. Use gambling to train your psychology, experience and money can get at the same time.

Это всегда хорошо, когда все ясно и никаких неожиданностей не предвещается, на этом можно строить свою стратегию поведения. Что касается регулирования, то тут возникают некоторые сложности. В случае новой технологии, такой как криптовалюты и блокчейн да и любой другой, не всегда понятно что нужно делать, чтобы технология развивалась в нужном для государства направлении или не развивалась совсем во избежании нарушения устоявшейся системы. Поэтому происходит некий обмен опытом, оглядка на другие юрисдикции, у которых получилось добиться близкого к желаемому результата. Конечно, вряд ли нам когда-нибудь придется скрывать факт владения аппаратными кошельками, но стоит не отбрасывать версию о возможности изменения отношения государства к криптовалютам.

Ohh my God, I completely forgot about this thread and it got bumped recently and discussion gets going.

Most people say that they didn't have any effect on their reputation due to gambling but most likely because they never have shown this to the public so then only they can realize when someone gets to know about their habit.

Thinking about locking this thread? Or need more discussion?

If you have a history or spreadsheet to calculate losses and losses experienced. That's just for yourself, so you see how much you spend on gambling and how much you have won. For me, I have never done that, as long as I have money. Then I will try to play gambling to get the victory. And for taxes, in gambling there is no tax that I spend.

Все было бы понятно при наличии четких законов/правил/вменяемого регулирования. Сейчас сложилась такая ситуация, практически полная неопределенность с положением криптовалют в большинстве стран. Возможно, их объявят нелегальным средством обмена или налоги будут такими, что сделает ходлинг или трейдинг слишком невыгодными. Такая база  с какими-нибудь балансами аппаратных кошельков очень пригодится при расчетах налогообложений, ведь не исключено, что новые законы будут работать задним числом и эти данные останутся валидными для закона. Разумеется, это все гипотетически - в условиях неопределенности не остается других вариантов как рассматривать худшее развитие событий.

Слышу в этом некую долю сарказма, хотя в современных реалиях это не кажется чем-то фантастическим, готовим плацдарм потихоньку.

Что может быть менее затратно и проще, чем саморасширяемая база владельцев криптовалют или потенциальных налогоплательщиков, которые проживают в стране с невозможностью оплаты в криптовалюте. Они своими силами приподнесут все данные, останется только ждать когда они захотят воспользоваться подконтрольной точкой вывода в фиат. Задача не сводится к тому, чтобы выявить неплательщиков: она сводится к избежанию неплатежей в будущем и дополнительно к контролю средств, перемещемаемых между публичными адресами.

Это не везде так. Помните, как австралиец заплатил налог за крипту, в 5 раз превышающий стоимость самих монет на момент уплаты? https://forklog.com/avstraliets-zaplatil-nalog-v-razmere-100-000-s-kriptovalyut-na-20-000/

While ago it just hit me when i won more then usual that in the future if bitcoin goes parabolic, these wins in btc can be huge and i have to tell my banker where i got the money from and i guess i have to keep how much i spend it to make it for tax purposes too.

I was thinking that i need to start to keep a journal/spreadsheet on my wins and losses soon. I've been stalling and avoiding it because i might not like what i see, i don't even know if i am on the plus side anymore. I am not sure how crypto gambling taxes go in here but i thought that it wouldn't hurt to have a record of my transactions in it while i am studying it.

So, i guess my question is that are you keeping a track of your wins and losses and for what purpose are you doing that?

I mean, that is not condemned or shameful, but in some cultures, especially in Asian culture, when people are going to visit gambling places, it can get a bad name in society. Maybe people like to see the ordinary hobby or usual that other people do like playing soccer or other sports. But some of them cannot accept if gambling is like a hobby because, in their places, gambling can be something that can damage the mentality. So if that person can quiet and not tell other people about his activity in gambling, maybe everything will be fine as long as he doesn't change his behavior in society.

I think if we are playing gambling online, it is not affected by our personal reputations because if we don't tell other people, they will not give a bad name to us. It is different if we are playing gambling offline. People will see what we do in real life so they can give or judge us with bad things. So I think it depends on what ways we are playing gambling because as long as we can keep secret about what we do, we will be fine.

В скором времени могут появиться такие сканеры, но они будут преследовать совсем другие цели. Например, для выявления недобросовестных налогоплательщиков, либо потенциальных нарушителей закона, не желающих обменивать свою крипту через "специализированных операторов. Уже вижу огромные базы данных, возможно даже на блокчейне, которые записывают xpub со всеми балансами и соответствующими ip-адресами и другой информацией, по которой можно с легкостью деанонимизировать, либо составить подробную статистику по регионам. Вкупе с ограничительными действиями в сети Интернет и требованиями об установке определенного ПО это будет работать очень эффективно.
