But that doesn't happen all the time, you will barely see a team that has great players and is mostly consistent with their game losing to a lower side all the time but it might happen once in a blue moon which is very rare. So, when it comes to sports betting, we can't say that luck is more important for gaining success because your knowledge and experience will play a greater role in this part of gambling since you need to know the teams and their players to be able to choose the best side.

The ones who win by randomly choosing a side can't do that with all the games because they are guessing. I'll give you an example, take two people, give them a paper with 20 MCQs on it, and out of the two people, one has a lot of knowledge about what the questions are about and the other one has no knowledge at all. So the one with zero knowledge will mark the answers with guesses while the other one will mark the right answers except for a couple that he didn't know. Now, who will have a higher chance of having marked more correct answers?

Though I can't say that something like that cannot happen, it still sounds strange that a person would pay such a high amount upfront for work they are getting done online while being in contact with the seller privately without having any third-party or escrow involved which could reduce the chances of getting scammed because you could easily take the money and block the guy without completing and sending the work and he could obviously do nothing much about that, maybe the agreements had something which could prevent that from happening but since we don't know we'll assume the possible.

Like a few other members, I'm also curious to know what happened about the project, whether you've completed the work and sent it or delayed the delivery since the guy went missing. Though I don't want to blame you for it, it all seems like a made-up story at some points, true at some.

Yes of course, most especially if you already have an experience with it. Chances are, that it'll cross in your mind. This is why we are often advised to socialize when we want to skip a bad habit.

For someone who says they don't gamble because it's fun, I find that weird. But did you mean to write that? Or maybe there is only a typo with it? If you mean it, then maybe it is true that they are addicted and they are only avoiding it. If I'm making $600 a day, well thank you. That was a lot of money already for me. I am playing gambling up until now, but in moderation only. Although that may change, now that my earnings have also increased.

I think there are still people who manage to hit that threshold even though they are kind a bit late. For those who are not wealthy enough, they can always do it slowly. If they are consistent, I'm sure they will soon reach that value. Even if not, there is still no problem with that. You don't really have to say this because those who are involved in crypto already know this fact.

This is why there are now so many new coins and people invests on them because they believe they will be the next Bitcoin. If you are only talking about password, it was actually recoverable. But if it was about the private keys and seed phrases, then it is not possible. So yeah, we should keep them securely.

Some people don't understand that, they think that if a person has a lot of money as their bankroll, they would never lose money because no matter how many bets they lose consecutively, they can still recover all the money by increasing the bet size after each loss without realizing that there is a certain limit for the max bet in each game and once you reach that limit, you can't double your bet anymore and it is not a big thing for a gambler to hit a loss streak enough to make them hit that limit.

Once you hit the max bet size limit, you can't double the bet anymore and when you can't do that, you won't be able to recover the overall amount that you've lost and you will have to just bet the maximum amount and if you still lose one or two bets at that point, you won't be able to recover it anymore. So, there will be no point in the whole recovering thing.

Interesting topic and discussion. I was watching a slot streamer earlier today named Syztmz and he was also discussing this topic and he made a very good point. He said, when you give money to a gambler, there are 2 possible outcomes:

1. The person will return your money
2. Money is gone

Now in both scenarios, the person giving out the money isn't earning anything but risking to lose the entire amount for absolutely no gain. Simple and straight.

Trading is only difficult if a person doesn't have a mind that can grasp ideas or someone who doesn't have much knowledge about technology and online stuff and has just recently started using Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies after joining the internet a short while ago. There are people who are usually away from technology and such things, they might have mobile phones or computers but they don't know much about them or know how they can use things, get into technical aspects, or even learn things themselves by exploring.

If that isn't the case, the person should be able to learn about trading and trading practices after a while if they dedicate some time and put in some effort. All it needs is focus and a basic understanding of the things which isn't easy to get for someone who is a learner and loves exploring things and learning new experiences.

$100 to $150 per week from sports betting isn't bad at all, however, the results of your bets in sports betting shouldn't depend solely on luck because that's for gambling games where skills and experience don't matter but when it comes to sports betting, your knowledge, and experience about the sport you are betting on, matter a lot, since your research and analysis about that sport will almost give you a clear idea about which side will win the match or play better game.

So, if you are betting 5 times a week but making calculated bets where you know which side will have an advantage for whatever reason known to you based on your experience and knowledge, you should win more bets than the ones you lose unless you become extremely unlucky and favorite sides lose easy matches which doesn't happen all the time.

I think it has nothing to do with the amount one is using for gambling but it's all about one's mindset. A person who is gambling just for fun and has $5,000 might not try and recover their losses even if they are betting $10 on a single bet, whereas a person having $100 as their overall bankroll but playing to earn money can't ignore their losses even if the base bet is in cents and will always try to recover what has been lost because they don't want to lose anything from their bankroll but gain more on top of it.

So, the idea of recovering losses comes when the person is considering their bankroll as capital and is trying to increase the amount without realizing that gambling is going to take it all away because casinos are not there to provide us with profits but they are businesses that take profit for themselves from us.

Haha yeah, free spins are cool though in most cases, you end up winning nothing but sometimes like in your case, you can get lucky. I play at Bitsler and they give free spins and chests often and I'm yet to win anything significant lol.

Coming back to the topic of whether slots are a waste of money, No I don't think so, because slots are more fun in general. I don't know how people find any thrill or fun rolling the dice or dropping plinko balls all day. But when you are playing slots like Wanted, Warrior Graveyard you are always at the edge of the seat when those vs vs vs might drop .

Haha yeah .. Shuffle reminds me of a young st*ke. Now the latter has stopped caring for their players and invested heavily into kick and .us shit. I am honestly glad a solid competitor has shown up and doing was missing lately.

I claimed the deposit bonus and took a while to get the wagering done tbh but it was a cool experience and got to try all the games.

Saw your guys are super active on TW, throw some there!

The harsh reality is that the majority of people don't gamble to have fun but they gamble to earn money from it even though it's unfortunate, it's true, and it's the reason why so many people lose everything in gambling because they start with the aim of earning money and once they start losing, they try to chase their losses to recover their bankroll because it's like capital for them that they are using to earn money but it never works out and they keep losing more every single time they try to recover the previous losses.

So, those who understand that gambling isn't a way to earn money and gamble just for fun are blessed because they won't have to go through a lot of hard ships because of their gambling activities, they lose some and keep moving forward without chasing the losses and that's the right thing to do.

What you are talking about is also a sort of help being provided by the family, so we can't say that families can't do anything because the first group of people that would want someone to get out a problem would be the family of that person because there are blood relations in a family and no mother, father, brother, sister, or even wife and children would want their beloved to be stuck in a problem but if he does, the family will always be there for him.

So, if a person admits in front of their family that they are addicted to gambling and that they are spending a lot of time and money on it but they are tired of it and they want to get rid of the addiction. I'm pretty sure that any family would become ready to do anything they can to get the guy out of the problem.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss, but I would say that you shouldn't have kept such a large amount in a personal device that you and maybe others have access to. If I had 11 Bitcoins, which is more than $400k based on the current price of Bitcoin, I would spend some money and buy a hardware wallet and keep them in that instead just to make sure that my Bitcoins are more safe and secure from things like malware or keyloggers and any other stuff that can cause me the loss of my assets through the internet.

Though it might not be possible for you to get your money back now when it's gone, you should try and find out how it happened, and who knows, maybe someone around you has done it, someone whom you told about your Bitcoins and that they are stored in your personal computer and they got access to it somehow. The world is different these days, you can't trust anyone when it comes to finances.

As long as a gambler doesn't have someone accompanying them in the casino, they can hide their wins and losses that they get in a land-based casino as well. They should go alone, gamble, and come back without letting anyone know about it, and even if people come to know that he goes into the casino, he shouldn't let them know the amounts that they have won and lost because that is when things start to become bad if you tell the people about them.

If you tell people that you have won a significantly high amount in gambling, you will start seeing people coming to see you the next day and most of them will come only to ask you for money since they know that you have a lot of it because you have let them know which is what a gambler shouldn't do.

Do you mean that a person who gambles more often and has no self-control is not a real gambler? That's not how you label gamblers because there are either responsible gamblers or irresponsible gamblers and there is nothing like a real gambler or a fake gambler, etc. A person who has no self-control and patience and always gambles more money than they should be irresponsible gamblers while the opposite of that are responsible gamblers because they know when to stop and what their limits are.

Among all gamblers, the majority are irresponsible because gamblers usually tend to be compulsive and they can't control the urge when they are either winning or losing, they always want to win more when winning and recover their losses when losing and both of these things contribute in making them irresponsible gamblers.

I believe the commission share you are talking about is the referral commission? If yes, then the referral commissions would obviously be theirs even if they are not collaborating with the casino or running a promotion for them and just add their link during the stream so that they can get some active referrals and earn commission on that. The main thing is the payment and other stuff that they receive from the casino platforms asking them for promotion.

So, based on that, a streamer or a content creator with more than 500K followers or subscribers must earn a great amount for each stream of video that they create for their partnering casino, and those who have more than a million must be charging more than $10k per stream for sure which is huge.

Can there be any specific answer to that question? You just like things because you enjoy them, there shouldn't always be something in general about that thing to make people love it and the same thing goes for any sport. If you don't love tennis, it doesn't mean there is something that you don't like in the sport but it's just that you enjoy watching another sport and not tennis, so you just generally don't like it, and I think the same thing is for football because it's a thrilling and enjoyable sport and people love watching it.

There can be people though who will say that they like a sport for something very specific like maybe a player that plays that sport or maybe a team that they like or maybe some other thing, but for the majority, I'm sure there is no specific feature that makes everyone love it but it's just the game that they love watching.

These are all superstitions and there is no reality in any of them. All the predictions that turn out to be are coincidental and not because the animals or the leaders or anyone has predicted them. I do believe that one can see the future in a dream, but most of the time, the visions in the dream are not clear enough to give you an exact indication of what might happen so that you can act upon that and you can barely find a person who can tell you the accurate outcome of your dream.

So, if someone says that they've seen a certain thing happening in their dream and then it actually happened, I might believe it because I know that happens, but apart from that, all the predictions and everything and people pretending to be experts of this field are all lies and myths and carry no reality.

I don't think that the negative connotation stops people from gambling or makes new gamblers stay away from it, so that isn't a reason why casinos would want everyone to become responsible gamblers but they would want every gambler to keep spending as much money as they can because they know once the money has entered their bankroll, there is nothing that can take it away from them even if the gambler starts spreading negative news about them.

Casinos, their owners, and the management barely care about gamblers' sentiments or their personal lives. All they care about is their businesses and they are not wrong about that. If I were running a business, I would surely want every customer to come and use my business and products as much as possible since that will bring more revenue for me and my business.
