They say it’s a progressive illness and it sure is.
It sure is, they are right about it. A gambler that doesn't control their emotions and stay away from getting addicted will suffer more as time goes by because they keep going deeper into the sea of addiction.

Addiction blocks emotions, it suppresses them so much you don’t ‘fee’ anything, only when you gamble, it takes you away from you, and your problems and then gives you a hundred more.
It doesn't take you away from your problems but makes you busy and keep your problems hidden until you stop and come out of the casino to realize that you had problems, and as you said, it only increases the problems if not done with limits and control.

addicts can only save themselves. We try sometimes to save other people, when we are the one’s in need. You have to turn inward with an addiction and help and learn to love yourself in order not to need it anymore, a task impossible until you receive that gift from other’s. You have to come out of hiding, and talk, unload all the shit that’s been holding you down and try your hardest to move forward.
Acknowledgment from the addict is important if they want to get out of it because if the gambler doesn't even accept the fact that they are addicted, no one can help them get out of their addiction. So, they help themselves by accepting their addiction and openly talking about their problems so that the ones hearing can help them get out of it.

Belief in Bitcoin is personal and depends on our personal views and experiences in investing in Bitcoin. While a strong belief in Bitcoin can be a good motivation, it is also important to consider portfolio diversification. Investing in only one asset, such as Bitcoin, can increase risk. Consider considering a more balanced asset allocation and exploring various other crypto assets that can provide profit potential.
Portfolio diversification is a good practice not only because of the risks involved in holding a single asset but also because a more diversified portfolio will have more potential profits in the long run because if one coin doesn't perform well, another might do. If that doesn't, another might do. So, having more than one asset in your portfolio is better than holding just a single asset no matter how much trust and belief you have in that single asset you are holding.

When it comes to cryptocurrency and long-term holding, no cryptocurrency is more trustable than Bitcoin because it's the very first and the only truly decentralized cryptocurrency among the crowd and all altcoins are centralized and are in control of their project management and developers. But, diversification is still better than holding just Bitcoin, no doubt about that.

Celta Vigo stats this season, 1W 4D 8L in 13 games played this season, this is probably their worst stats in years and they're under probability of been relegated or having a slight escape. Los Celestes boss, Rafael Benítez is under pressure because if he doesn't do his job to get Celta Vigo from the relegation zone, his job is at risk and team's board will definitely hand him a sack letter this season. They can't risk waiting for him to bring back the fire in the club, rather they're ready to explore alternatives and ensure they have totally escaped relegation this season.
Celta Vigo is down with Granada and Almeira in the red zone, Celta Vigo still has a chance to improve its position if Celta Vigo can perform better in the future and try to win the match.
Tomorrow Celta Vigo will play Velencia and if you look at the statistical data from five meetings Lastly, Celta Vigo was unable to beat Velencia, but if Celta Vigo is able to make it the surprise in this match that by winning the match. Celta will rise from its current ranking and be temporarily shifted from the red zone, but if not, that means Celta will remain in the red zone and will come under pressure from various parties, especially fans Celta Vigo.
Celta vigo is surely suffering one of the worst time in current season with things are also not looking good for them in coming days because they have tough matches and having no win in last nine games with just three draws mean they are already down and out with January window can bring some improvement but if they are going to spend funds for the better players even their coach is one of the best in this field, but their performance is still not as par required.

Valencia is unpredictable team which is also suffering in early matches but right now their performance is improved, and they have good result with one big defeat against Real Madrid is surely having impact on them, but they can change their fortune in coming matches and Celta Vigo surely can stay into red zone for the few more weeks.

The best batsmen that India has, the Indian government selects their players from different states of India. This is where the Vijay Hazari Trophy has started in India, some good quality players will come out. They will play in the IPL and those who will do well in the IPL will be given a chance in the national team. This is how Team India selects their best players. If our Bangladesh team management was like this then maybe our Bangladesh team would have been in a better position. Our cricket improved when our Bangladesh team Shakib Al Hasan Tamim Iqbal Mashrafe bin Murtaza Mahmudullah Riyad Mushfiqur Rahim played in the national team. Bangladesh had the power to beat anyone in the world. A good batsman did not come after that. So our cricket management of Bangladesh should select good quality cricket from different districts of Bangladesh and give opportunity to play in national team.
There are reasons why domestic cricket in India is not as strong as that in England or Australia. Sheffield Shield and County Championship always maintain the highest quality and Indian domestic cricket comes nowhere near that. Even the Plunkett Shield (NZ) and the domestic competitions in West Indies and South Africa maintain a superior quality when compared to that in India. There are two main reasons - first of all, most of the capped players skip their domestic duties, and also there are a total of 38 domestic teams and as a result the quality gets diluted.
As BCCI having profit from the IPL and other events now they can do few things which could be helpful for them and this game as well because I believe cricket is now having tag of big industry so with this if someone have mind then just need to settle things in domestic system and create good structure which will increase their quality and performance for them currently USA sporting system is best which can give them good support by finances and for the better future of players as well just need to go ahead with all teams same level even this is not easy but still possible because they are having billions of USD which can bring investment like this as well, and they can take control of the game for long time as well.

Some 40 days back, when I was intensively checking for living without my local banks, I have ended up with bit.store/AlchemyPay debit cards after doing a small search on Ratimov's debit card observer topic with no KYC and world wide availability as primary searching criteria.

Here are what I have experienced:

I tried to use this virtual card on my Samsungpay but SamsungPay does not allow me to add it.

There was $5 of first time applying fee:



When I was checking to get the 2nd card, this $5 was not applied.





Loading fee is (Recharge fee): 2.5%

Minimum loading amount is $15

We can withdraw the unspent balance of the card via crypto.

There is a $1 monthly fee with following note:
Quote
Starting from the user's card creation date, $1 monthly fee will be deducted every 30 days, with the deduction taking place at 00:00 local time on that day.
$1 is locked in the card balance every new month and cannot be redeemed or spent.
After the card is deleted, the monthly fee for this virtual card will cease to be deducted.



Bit.store and AlchemyPay are technical partners but the mails are received from cardrypto.com


526  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can loneliness make one addicted to gambling on: November 23, 2023, 08:10:30 PM
Loneliness can lead one to gamble as it can turn out to be one way of entertaining themselves, but when we bring in the topic of gambling addiction..the cause has to be greed no two ways about it!!!

As far as am concerned ,the primary cause of gambling addiction centres around greed because as a gambler you never want to leave your screen as you see yourself as a winner but truth is winners know when to stop and when it comes to gambling we need to accept that we don't always win and need to try our luck on a later date.
Some things are addictive by nature, and gambling is one of those things. So, if someone starts gambling for whatever reason, in this case, the reason is loneliness, that person will start spending much time on this activity because they don't have other things to do and they also need an escape from the loneliness and the stress that they go through because of that and gambling becomes the perfect way to spend the time without any stress or anything.

But, as time goes by, the person will start to feel attached to the activity, and even if they have come out of the state they were in, they wouldn't be able to stop gambling now since they are in the habit of it and when they don't gamble, they feel a strong urge to do it no matter what they are doing. So, doing something excessively can also make us get addicted to it.
527  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Things to avoid as a beginner on: November 23, 2023, 05:03:40 PM
We all know in this Bitcointalk.org that merits are not for sale but any newbies engaging themselves in such activities in this platform, the punishment that is made for such rules will be serve to them
Well, if you think that a person who is suspected of buying or selling Merits will be banned or their ability to post or send messages is blocked then you are wrong. Even if a moderator or any member finds a person who is involved in such an activity, they won't be ban because this activity is not punishable by a permanent or temporary ban but such users will get negative ratings from reputable members of the forum after which their profile will be marked red.

However, this doesn't mean that users should do it, and it wouldn't even be worth it if they are caught because people usually hunt Merits to rank up and eventually join a signature campaign and they can't do that if their accounts are negative tagged, so their accounts will be useless if they are given negative trust ratings by DT members.

Let's be honest, Pat Cummins was actually scared. And that was the best thing that happened to him. Australia was being criticized a lot and a lot of people also said that Australia was not going to make it to the semifinals. Even I was thinking the same thing when Australia was in really bad situation against Afghanistan. I thought India was going to take the trophy without any big trouble. But Australia turned things around. Australia where scared and that is exactly what enabled them to perform better and make themselves. Push harder for better performance.

And let's be honest India didn't have any true competition throughout the whole tournament. So I actually think probably India took things a little easy.
I agree with your opinion about the Australian, but you are missing few things they are the best learners and having best cricketing minds as well which give them edge in cricket and just because of this currently they are ruling the cricketing world without spending huge funds like India.

After first two matches I was also not sure about their chances but as they fight back and done things in next 9 games it's surely giving all how they can change the tables with their own match against Afghanistan and then having semifinal against South Africa were the best of them before this big show against India in final where nearly 90% Indians were sure for the win and many ads and other social media related material was also ready but suddenly Aussies done magic and bring them down.

Ricky Ponting give them good tips which works, and they were able to bring down one of the best Indian side in ODI history with bang and won this world cup in front of 100K fans at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.
529  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Luck and skill, which is more important for gambling success? on: November 23, 2023, 08:59:19 AM
- I believe that skills play a more crucial role than luck in gambling or any other field.
That can be said about sportsbetting and only a few gambling games such as Poker. What about other types of gambling? Skill is needed everywhere but the outcome of most gambling is not depending on your luck factor for sure.

Interestingly, I just read a post on this forum discussing the use of mathematical skills to win in gambling. You can check it out here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5474432.0
That's about Poker, and Poker is generally categorized as a skill-based game.

- Gambling is a game based on probability, and if you can calculate the probabilities, the chances of winning are high.
How do you suggest one calculates the probabilities in games like slots, dice, and crash, etc.? Theoretically you can calculate but in real life your mathematical skills may not help you while you are in gambling rush.

Luck, on the other hand, is just a secondary factor. If you lack skills, then, of course, luck becomes the most important factor for you!  Grin
Not really, apart from a few games and regions of gambling, luck is the most important thing and one cannot win anything if they are unlucky. Luck even influences the results in sports betting sometimes. You can always see some minor team winning against the favorites.

I don't believe that it is because of the their confidence that prompt them to actually make such decision, I feel its the gambling spirit that rides in them as I know this because every trader is somehow related to a gambler and they like to take the risk on every investment choices as the risk is what brings the profits but since it's a two sided affair losses sometimes might be the result of this risk investment but it's quite normal as their are already used to the system.
A true and sensible trader would always take calculated risks and will never risk their money just hoping and praying that the coin or token they've bought gains some value, those who do that aren't traders but they are trying to be traders because they lack basic knowledge and trading capabilities. Someone who takes trading seriously will only invest their money in projects that they know are good and aren't just pump-and-dump and useless projects that can drop significantly at any time even if they manage to gain some value.

A trader will only feel confident about an investment that they make after doing proper research and analyzing all the aspects of the project. As you said, those who invest in projects just because they see potential profits while ignoring the high risks are more gamblers than traders in the true sense.
531  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you in profit? on: November 22, 2023, 07:00:59 PM
You don't have to be rich in gambling to be in profit, there are people who gamble well and make consistent money but the profits are only little to make them rich.
Though it's the wrong mindset, most new gamblers think this way about gambling. They think that a person should either get rich or lose everything when they gamble but they don't know that there can also be a balance between the two. A gambler might not be a big winner but also not a big loser and they must just have a little profit in their overall gambling sessions so far. A person who hasn't lost a lot of money after gambling for quite some time is a successful gambler.

You don't need to get rich from gambling to be called a successful gambler but if you can keep your losses as low as possible, you can consider yourself a successful gambler because you are not having to spend money from your pocket every time you want to gamble since you are keeping a balance between your wins and losses.
532  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you pay for signals? And how much ? on: November 22, 2023, 01:34:01 PM
Dlyou pay for signals? And how much ?
What's your monthly expenses for trading signals? Yearly?
I don't pay but i read alot people pay for signals so how good results If this ?
I don't and I never would. I believe people who pay for signals and signal groups are lazy and can't learn and grasp simple things and ideas or are educated enough to understand a bit complex terminologies or methods because if none of that is the case, a person should learn everything themselves and do their trades themselves instead of relying on someone else to provide them signals that they will use to earn some profits which isn't something to be proud of even if the person manages to get profits.

Mostly newbies get involved in such things because those running such services and groups target newbie investors for the reason that they are more vulnerable and easy to trap and their mindset when they enter the market is to start earning profits as soon as possible which isn't possible if someone goes for learning everything themselves and then start trading.
533  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Top 40 Twitch accounts for gambling advertising on: November 22, 2023, 09:50:22 AM
Well, Twitch is becoming less popular for gambling streamers. Kick is the "new best place" as I can see from some advertising on Twitter, but it's just my thinking. Maybe I am wrong, but with regulations, Twitch is taking the new course, and that move is opening the door for some new services. Gambling advertising is here to stay, the only question is where it will be the most.
Their policies are strict for gambling and that is probably the reason why streamers that gamble on their streams are looking for alternative services and streaming platforms. Most streamers will migrate either to YouTube or Kick, and I've heard that YouTube takes a very large percentage of the total revenue of streamers which is probably the reason why some might be going to Kick, I'm not sure about the percentage and policies of Kick regarding revenue share.

However, with all these things happening, I believe if a service or a platform is created that will specifically be for gambling streamers, it might gain some popularity among the gambling community as streamers will not have any problems with their streams and they will also bring their audiences with them.
534  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Question for those who loose too frequently in gambling on: November 21, 2023, 06:30:10 PM
Yesterday I lost big but it was not my money,I rarely deposit my money anymore except a few times when I make enough money from mining and I deposit a few,yesterday though I had a lot of luck in the beginning from my weekly bonus and I got from 0.08 dollars to over 65 dollars and I kept playing hard with IDR as my base bet but at least I am happy that got 4% more to my next VIP level and 4% is near 2000 dollars in wagering from a mere 0.08 dollars weekly bonus,I like this when I increase my percentage toward my new VIP level without spending a single dime from my own.

As I said for people who lose frequently they should stop and deposit in a longer time frame from one deposit to another to stop chasing losses which is the worse you can do.
Your luck surprises you sometimes, you will make so much money from the smallest bonuses that you can't even believe it yourself. I once won about $100 with just $1 that I got from some bonus, it was either a monthly, weekly or a wagering bonus that I received and I started playing slots with the lowest possible base bet. In such times, you win some and then you lose some, and then you win a bigger amount, and that continues until you manage to win something good with peanuts as a start.

However, I've noticed that when you win an amount from scratch, that too not using your own money, you won't play responsibly with it or think about withdrawing because you will keep getting greedy and think that you might manage to double the amount and then you will withdraw until you finally lose it all.
535  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The most important thing in a betting site on: November 21, 2023, 06:04:45 PM
The bet in the gambling sites should not be the random bet,because the 90 percentage of the random bet was leads to the loss in the gambling sites.So make use of the tactics to get some good winning from the gambling sites.The gambling site will help you to win at the guess bet then the random bet.
What do you mean by a random bet and how does that work? I believe you are talking about sports betting and selecting teams and sides randomly instead of choosing the ones that you know about. But if you are not talking about that and it's about gambling games, then none of what you just said makes any sense because winning or losing a bet in a gambling game doesn't depend on anything like that nor there are any tactics that you can use to get wins or the gambling site will help you win in any way.

In gambling games, your winning and losing depend on your luck and nothing else. Your bet size, betting frequency, bankroll, or anything else, won't have any influence on the results of the bet. Sports betting is different because one can win more bets than they lose if they have enough knowledge and experience about the sport they are betting on.
536  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What Coin is Best for short term speculation on: November 21, 2023, 02:53:39 PM
I think it is very difficult to determine the best coin to invest in in the short term, but I recommend meme coins such as SHIBA INU and DOGE coin as alternative short-term investments, because these two memecoins have quite large popularity and are of course very popular with investors.
Meme coins that have been through the hype once wouldn't have the same growth potential again, so you shouldn't invest in meme coins thinking that you may gain the same amount of profits that early investors of these coins did when they were being hyped by the community, and apart from hype, there is nothing else that can make a meme coin gain value because they don't have any quality that can make then gain organic growth, so they shouldn't be recommended investments, even for the short-term.

It's much better if an investor finds coins and tokens that are established or even new but have organic growth potential because they are genuine and good projects backing those coins and not just a couple of creators with anonymous identities that people don't even know the names of or where they come from.

538  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cash out or keep playing? on: November 20, 2023, 02:12:15 PM
We must also remember that money that can change your life does not need to be as high as a million dollars or a huge amount like that, even a small sum can be enough to help you kick-start a business idea that you had and that at the time you did not had the money to implement, but with a little bit of luck you could get enough money to do this by gambling, and in fact I have seen a case like that before, so even if a person gets a small win when they gamble, they should try to not be greedy and keep it as it could be the beginning of their own success story.
I agree with you both because we realize that getting a win can change our lives if we can use it well and correctly. If we instead use the money to gamble again another day and don't have any plans for using the money, we won't be able to change our lives for the better. The winning money will pass through our accounts without us being able to use it for our lives, and nothing will happen because our lives will return to the way they were before. This is about how we can use the winning money as best as possible for our lives and our families because we also cannot continue to gamble while we have to try to provide for our families and try to change our lives. By realizing this, we will definitely use the winning money well and can slowly change our lives so that they can be better.
Thoughts like that are only good if the amount won is extremely high and is life changing for the gambler. Starting to gamble with $50 and winning $300 wouldn't make someone take such decisions where they should think of using the money for something good or changing their life because that isn't enough and it is better if the person uses that money as the bankroll for their upcoming gambling sessions and save the money they were to use for gambling for something else. That's the least they can do with it.

So, it depends on the amount one wins whether what they should decide to do with it. I would never gamble much if I manage to hit a jackpot that changes my life, I may do it hardly ever just to enjoy myself but my aim would never be to earn money from gambling after that and that's what wise people do.
539  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: FALLING FALLING! on: November 19, 2023, 07:44:02 PM
It is such a sad thing to see people who are still afraid when we are at 35k+ levels. Even if we fall to 30k levels, that is to be expected after such a huge increase and we shouldn't really be bothered by it if you ask me. I understand that it may not be all that great feeling to see it go down a bit, but we have gone up from 25k, and unless it goes under 30k, I am not going to fear the price.
The strange thing is that when the price went up yesterday, many people were very enthusiastic about buying Bitcoin because they felt very happy that Bitcoin had risen quite significantly. And in the end, when Bitcoin experienced a market correction, they became panicked and afraid, and did not dare to buy Bitcoin again because they were worried that the price would fall further. Isn't this a bit odd? This should be a moment for us who can actually get more Bitcoin because the price is falling. Meanwhile, we still have high confidence that this is a market cycle that in fact Bitcoin's price will rise again, even bigger. As long as you don't panic sell when the price drops, as long as you still want to hold, then we will also get optimal results in investing in Bitcoin.
New investors tend to buy when the market confidence is high and sell when they see it getting low, that's how they see the market. When they see it's going up, they FOMO and start buying so that they don't miss out of the opportunity, while they miss the actual opportunities because they start selling instead of buying when the market starts declining because they fear they will lose their investments. These things will always be a part of the market.

It's only experienced and wise investors who see corrections as opportunities to fill the bags even more and sell when there are pumps after the corrections because even if you are not planning to hold for the long term, you can get good profits if you make short term trades with that. Imagine someone buying at $26k and selling at $37.5k, that's great profit for a short-term trade.
540  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Casinos with Online and Offline version, Are they the same? on: November 19, 2023, 06:46:46 PM
It's pretty harder for an offline version to scam people than they do online, players can easily file a complaint and the authorities will take action quickly for fear of public outrage, our offline casinos here are very quick to address even small issues because they will lose clients and they will also their license, compared to online version even if they have a hundred complaints they can continue to operate because it's hard to charge online casinos.
And if online casinos say you are a cheater, they don't need to prove you are, because they will deny to show proof because they are afraid that their security system will be exposed and cheaters will find a way to manipulate it.
So your chances to withdraw your earnings offline are better online provided that you play fair.
We will probably be mistaken when we consider that online gambling are the ones that always have the openness for scam related activities and assumed that the physical casinos are less involved in this, scam is what we can't predict how, where or who can engage in making such attack or those that will be heavily affected from the attack as well, as long as it is humanbeing who were involved in this, they can do and undo.
There is no doubt that there can be scams in physical or offline casinos as well, but you can't deny the fact that it's easier for an online casino platform to scam its customers and even run away with the funds since most online cryptocurrency casinos these days don't even acquire a proper license at the beginning and they keep operating without it until or unless the authorities threaten them to close their platform down if they don't get a proper license.

The same thing cannot be said for a physical casino because a physical casino establishment can't just move from one place to another after scamming its customers and it is relatively harder for it to successfully scam the gamblers because everything is done physically and in front of everyone which reduces the chances for gamblers to get scammed.
