I think the effect is temporary though. I mean if you used gambling as a stress reliever, definitely it will work but for how long? Maybe just a couple of hours playing and then you lose money? Same with it improves your mood, when you gamble it might release some chemicals like Dopamine so you really feel good about yourself. But then again, the same question, how long will you feel that good mood?

So not really sure if we can call this as health benefits because the effects is for a limited of time only.
There are a lot of medications in the field of medical and health sciences that are prescribed to a patient for a temporary solution, these can include painkillers, sleeping pills, anxiety, and stress relieving pills, and a bunch of others that medical personnel can know more about. So, would you not consider all those being beneficial for one's health, even if it's just for a short period? I think we do consider them helpful and useful for us on a lot of occasions.

Similarly, any activity, including gambling, will just provide you with a temporary solution for something that might be helpful or useful for you at that exact moment. When you are feeling down, you can use something that can cheer you up, and when you are sad, you can cherish an activity that brightens your mood. So, even if the benefits are temporary, they are useful for us and our health and I think that is enough reason to call them health benefits.

I guess this is something not limited to Casinos, ToS are hardly read by anyone whether you are opening a bank account or installing a Windows operating system. The main reason is ToS are so lengthy for people to read in short duration, majority just prefer to press 'I accept' button and get started. We only start paying attention to these terms and conditions once we are struck on some issue and support representative says you already agreed to these terms.
I totally agree with you but we should actually read them when we know there are finances involved because the terms and conditions can contain very important clauses that we might need to know and if we don't like something from it, we can still say no and go somewhere else. It is just like starting a contract and not reading the agreement terms which can be bad if there is a problem later in the process of completing that contract and it can cause us both money and time that we've spent on it.

So when it comes to gambling or anything that we do online where we are required to deposit and use money, we should at least read the terms and conditions before we do that so that we don't face any issues later on in the process and also if something happens that isn't mentioned in the terms and conditions, we can rightly ask them about it since we know about it.

Our experiences teach us things that nothing else in the world can, so what you have been through have already made you more mature as I can sense it from what you've written and hopefully you will keep all what you have been through in mind for the rest of your life.

There are a few things that you need to learn, for sure. The very first one is financial management, you obviously need to learn and practice how you can effectively manage your finances so that you can live your life in a good way but have some savings as well for times that might be harsh on you. Another thing you need to learn is to observe and understand people, because from your story, I could understand that most of your friends have used you to the core and you kept being used without trying to escape those scenarios. So, you obviously need to be careful and more choosy when it comes to making friends.

Just do these things and you should be okay. There is no rocket science in that, all you need to do is do things more carefully and thinking twice before deciding on something whether it's making a purchase or giving money to someone.
784  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: My Little Advice For Gamblers on: November 01, 2023, 03:41:30 PM
Such things rarely happen but most of the time, the deceased would have already told at least one person about what they have and where they have it so that it can be accessed when they are no more. Talking about the incident you've mentioned, I would say that they could find a way around the matter if they tried harder. They could find someone who is an expert in unlocking devices without having to factory reset them and if they could unlock the devices, they could some how find the access to his gambling accounts because he must have had emails and everything logged in already.

The advice is good though, I agree that a person who knows that they have wealth that only they have access to should find someone who they trust and tell them about where they can find the passwords and access to their wealth once he dies because these things are sudden and nobody can know when it's time to say goodbye.

Agree with the post from Slow death, from what I knew all of the licensed online casino operators are require to conduct a KYC to prevent underage gambling , local AML regulations, online fraud, etc.

Maybe it will be better to write that the site only require a KYC when necessary and legit user doesnt need to worry about it.
The statement will bring pros and cons, however that is better than write No KYC at all while the terms said the otherwise.
But what does when necessary mean? I think it's better if they will be specific like saying KYC will be required for those who commit cheating. The doubts of the legit users are then going to be completely removed if they do this. They should only keep in mind that there are still legit users who value their privacy a lot, or thinking KYC is only a hassle thing to do, so they can still skip a casino like this.

Indeed, they shouldn't follow the footsteps of those casino who lied, telling their platform are KYC free, in hopes of attracting more users. Maybe they can get a player but once they found out the truth, they can still lose those immediately and worse is they will be reported.
786  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do your parents know about your gambling habit ? on: October 31, 2023, 08:35:23 PM
Right, I never thought gambling was bad. I participate here mainly for entertainment. I'm old enough to say I'm fairly mature. But I don't tell my parents about this gambling because my parents and I live in village. Some local people here spend their lives gambling by sitting on the roadside. If I tell my parents about gambling, my parents will abuse me a lot thinking about these local people and put a lot of pressure on me. Because they don't know about this online gambling they realize that gambling is basically played physically by the local people sitting on the roadside.
Many people still think that gambling is bad because they have often seen what gambling causes. For this reason, they forbid their children from approaching gambling and are not even allowed to know about gambling at all. Unfortunately, in this era of advanced technology, young people can find out about gambling easily because by searching on the internet, they can get all the answers and can start gambling. Now, it is only by providing understanding to children that every parent can do so that their children do not get involved in gambling. But there are still local or illegal casinos operating in our cities so that people can come to them to gamble.
You mean it's side effects. What about the benefits of it? Didn't they saw it? They shouldn't be biased and go only on one side. As long as we educate our children properly and allow them to play on it, I think nothing can go wrong. Agree about the current era, and there is no need for the person to search it because gambling ads are automatically popping out in the apps or sites that we visit. They are also being hyped by the influencers.

Illegal casinos in the locals are usually hard to spot but there are still the legal ones though I think they have age restrictions. When I was a kid, parents are only worrying about those computer shops because they are the ones who allow minors.
787  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: October 31, 2023, 07:48:48 PM
For sure that will be the most watched and interesting game on the coming Weekend between Dortmund and Bayern Munich.
Bayern Munich is always the favorite in all games even there are teams like Dortmund , Leverkusen or Leipzig when they playing aginst them.
Its hard to say who will win this game , as Dortmund is playing at the moment very crazy and different from week to week.
Its possible with some luck that they can win that but from the players on the paper Bayern Munich will make it.
I think Der Klassiker's favorite is Bayern Munich because Dortmund is far from its former power. Still, you never know, they beat Newcastle United away and are open to surprises. It would be bad for Bayern if they lose points in this match. Leverkusen will go away to Hoffenheim. I think they will win that match without any problems.
In last few years as I am watching this Bundesliga I never have any team favorite against Bayern Munich because they are only consistent and well organized team in this league and mostly others are not having available sources to face them consistently but still Dortmund is one of the best team behind Bayern Munich, and they are capable of bringing surprising results as well right now we have three teams which are not having any defeat in this season and things are very interesting with Bayern Munich going to face the toughest teams for the title after years even still mostly are regarding them as favorite, but now we can expect good changes.

Dortmund is playing at Signal Iduna Park, so they need to be best in form for having better result and more entertainment in this league after years.

It's interesting to see Aston Villa in the leaders of the standings with a five-point lead over Newcastle... Spurs and Arsenal have not lost a single game so far, but Man City can take the lead at any moment... Probably the second half of the season will be very interesting...
Situation is very interesting at the top with Tottenham is surprisingly leaders and having difference of two points from second and third spotted teams and fifth spot team Aston Villa stands at 22nd points which is clearly heading Newcastle United which is not good as we have them in last season and most chances these teams will be stayed at the top until winter break, and then we will be able to have changes in January which is surely important for the all teams.

No one were expecting performance like this from the Tottenham, but they have done impressive job and most chances now they will be able to stay in top four until long time because their performance is very good and no team able to give them challenge just 2 draws from 10 games their offense is also better and defense is also giving them good support which is surely deserved another Champions League season in coming year.

In your casino people can deposit, play and make withdrawals without needing to go through KYC, this means that people will do KYC only in cases where the casino team suspects that the funds to play come from criminal activities.
I just wnet thorugh their KYC\AML policies and ToS as well but the things were unclear regarding this.

They mentioned they seek email and Password for KYC bt need to provide residence and an actual KYC to use their service which means in my understanding if the user wants to withdraw then they need to be KYCed just like every other casino but they don't claim themselves as private like here.

I expect more details about the KYC requirements for withdrawal.
They need to clear this out. If not, many people might get turned off about that because they don't know what to expect. They also have a strange requirement there for KYC. Really? Email and password? Lol. I think it's kinda red flag. They can now access our emails then, or our gambling account.

When we upload an ID, there is already an info there about our residence or where do we live. Or maybe they need a picture of us with a street sign behind us and some landmarks, etc.. . But that was also strict and I rarely see a casino that asks this. Maybe this is only possible if we are involved in a serious issue and the money involved is also huge.

Nepal is inching towards a victory in the match against Malaysia. They need another 20 runs in 27 balls, with 7 wickets to spare. With this win, they are likely to top the group and a spot in the semi-finals is guaranteed. But then, in order to qualify for the world cup they need to win the semi-final and enter the final. And it will be interesting to know who will be their opponents in semi-finals from Group B. United Arab Emirates is likely to top Group B, while either Bahrain or Hong Kong are likely to finish at the 2nd place.
Congratulations to Nepal as top of group point table because they beat Malaysia by 6 wickets.Malaysia bat first and scored 165/9 in first inning. Syed Aziz played a brilliant knock scored 68 (49) and Zubaidi Zulkifle also well played scoring 24 (16). Nepal bowlers Abinash Bohara bowl brilliant 4/27. Nepal chase down target Kushal Malla batting extraordinary knock and won match for hus team in 18th Over. Kushal Malla earned the player of the match award for score brilliant innings of 65 runs for 32 and Chase down the taregt against Malaysia.
Nepal is second into their group with Oman leading after both teams won their early 2 matches, but Oman is having better NRR, but now we have next game between Nepal vs Oman which will decide who is going to lead the group with other group is leading by the UAE which is much better side and after winning TRI nation now their confidence level is also high, and they have good potential with adopted players sadly Nepal which is having all native players are doing good but still need improvement and better strategy which bring them to the top in associate countries.

But, good thing happen we are having few teams from ASEAN region which will bring good intention for the game specially countries like Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia are doing good with they are populated countries which are important for the cricket which is already had strong grip in Asia region.
791  Economy / Economics / Re: Cracking the Code of Saving Money... on: October 31, 2023, 09:09:09 AM
Planning for a vacation is I think still part of unnecessary spending but again if it's done with our family I think it's fine. I guess it's not bad to treat our selves and our love once even for rare occasions.
Any person who has a family basically works and earns money so that they can provide for them and make them happy and to make them happy one needs money, for sure. So planning vacations, celebrating special days, and occasionally going out, are all important things that are supposed to be done and you can't skip these things just so that you can save some money, you need to skip things that are extra and that aren't necessary in order to get to have some money left at the end of the month.

That's why, one should never compromise on important things and things that make them and their families happy and they should think of other ways that they can use to save money. If they think they can't do it with a single job, they should try and start doing some side job or something that can earn them something extra.

Afghanistan is batting at the target of 242 runs given by Sri Lanka where they managed to score 72 runs for 2 wickets at the end of 17.  Afghanistan have lost only one wicket in the power play and they will probably have two wickets in the first 20 overs in which case Afghanistan have more chances to win this match than Sri Lanka. Afghanistan have to ensure that they don't lose wickets, even if they run less than the number of runs per over they need, there is no problem, they just have to stay on the wicket. No matter how well Sri Lanka bowls, they will deliver one or two bad deliveries in the over and Afghanistan will have to exploit those one or two bad deliveries. If Afghanistan wait for opportunities and if they don't lose wickets then surely Afghanistan will win this match.
Recently we have drastic changes into game with T20 Leagues are giving good chance for few players to increase their confidence level which is helping for quality to be improved if you want to stay into better spot Countries like Sri Lanka, England and Pakistan fail to adopt these changes and now facing consequences which are good for them with defeat against Afghanistan in this world cup is wake-up call hopefully now they will change their strategy and improve their quality as well otherwise they need to check reality check of West Indies.

Afghanistan which is not able to play at their home doing impressive job and having good results hopefully things will take good change back at home, and they will be able to do better and consistently today we have another impressive performance from them which now allow them for staying at the 5th spot and have chance for the top four as well if they are able to stop anyone from these Australia and South Africa.

The problem OP is you do not own the money in the bank. You have no right to touch it except for the purpose of your education. Indeed you need to have a proper education in order to learn and understand the proper ways of managing finances. In your situation, you are thinking about gambling and not investing. You're still young, finish your studies since the world has a lot of opportunities for you once you are done with your schooling.

Sooner or later you will understand the world of investing. Bitcoin is a high-risk reward investment which is why you need to invest only what you can afford to lose. You don't borrow money in order to invest in bitcoin. And you don't borrow money if you have no work or business, otherwise, you cannot pay it back.
Whatever you say is right, but the fact that he could earn a good profit if he had invested in Bitcoin earlier and there is a possibility that he might earn some if he does it now or when the market dips a little because the whole market is anticipating the bull run to start next year after the halving event. However, you are right that one shouldn't gamble with the cryptocurrency market since the market is extremely volatile and unpredictable and one can't do much without having ample knowledge.

Kids these days are already into investments, managing their own finances, and working to build their future while our generation never really cared about all these things at such a young age. I believe it's a good thing if someone stays away from useless things and is actually interested in learning things that can be useful for them in the future.
794  Economy / Gambling / Re: ⚽️ SPORTBETTING ADVICE ⚽️ on: October 30, 2023, 06:11:22 AM
Even when we know that the smaller odds as the higher chance of winning we shouldn’t fail to realize that gambling is base in luck and team performance, we have see instances where the higher odds beat the lower odds, I like to play bet on this low leagues because of their odds, you will notice that even the best team in the league carries a good odd, because they know that the league is full with average players and anything can happen. I tend to focus on the best team in the small leagues then add some top league teams too to boost the odds.
 It advisable to play safe though so that you don’t get burn, check the stats of the team so that you can make better options on the team you want to choose, this will help you know when a team is inform and their previous stats against the opposition team.
Luck does play its role even in sports betting, but that only happens once in a while. You won't always see a favorite team losing to a team that isn't in the same league or level even if the team isn't performing very well. This is the reason why sports betting tends to be profitable in the long run if the bettor has enough knowledge about the sport and enough experience to know which team is better and which players are good and how a certain match might go.

The mistake that most people make is that they go only with the odds all the time when the odds might be an indicator of which side has the highest possibility of winning, it doesn't necessarily have to play out that way and there can be changes and disturbances within teams that might affect the results.

To be fair both Al Hilal and Al Nassr are looking might great compared to other teams in the league, there are some teams which are a little closer, but it looks like those two are the best. All Nassr started terrible and now they are only 4 points behind, if they didn't lose those two games at the start which they should have won easily, they would have been at the top. There are still 19 more games left and 4 point difference in 19 games is nothing that can't be closed, I think they could handle that.

I believe that we are going to end up seeing Ronaldo keep playing the way he did and he will take this team to championship if he keeps this up. Obviously, at his age it's not easy to play like this, so the only possibility of things going terrible would be Ronaldo getting an injury, when you are that old, and playing at such high level professional athlete levels of sports, there is a bigger chance that your body may not handle it as well as it did when you were younger and get injured easier.
796  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How safe do you feel with casinos that ask you to input your log detail. on: October 29, 2023, 08:03:23 PM
Most platforms would allow you to save your login details and also have a "Remember me" checkbox that you should mark so that you stay logged in until the session times out. And even if a platform doesn't have these features, if someone has bookmarked the website, they shouldn't really have any issues because that bookmark should take them to the official website unless their device has some sort of keylogger or malware that messes things up in the process.

Apart from the security concern, it also gets a bit annoying to keep logging in every time you close and reopen the tab or the browser and features such as Remember Me or Session or cookie remembrance should be available on all websites that require users to log in to use the services they are providing.

I would have done the opposite. I would tell all my friends and see which one is my real friend or not. If I tell all my friends that I won 30 million dollars today, even without actually winning, I guarantee you that none of them will want even a single dollar from me, they would congratulate me, maybe some of them would talk behind my back Cheesy Which is normal really nothing to worry about, if I learned they got 30 million then I would say stuff like "lucky mofo.." too but nothing to their faces, and ALL of them would act like everything is exactly the same and never ask a dime from me. That's the important part, if any of them ever ask me for money, unless I know that they really need it, then I would just cut ties with them.

Obviously, if its a hospital thing, like some sickness, I would help even right now as much as I can, which is my downfall because I help everyone with their hospital bills, but aside from that they wouldn't ask I am sure.
798  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Winning Wisely: Strategies to Protect Your Bankroll on: October 28, 2023, 08:04:10 PM
I think we need to understand how we intend to play safe so we can have a clean winning. Gambling has been a good alternative for us earn some profits for ourselves if we are true gambler. For us to earn clean bets as a gambler, we need bet on games that we are skilled at not minding to try our hands in tempting games that cannot guarantee our winnings. We need to establish a good mindset when we bet and also work on our strategies to hasten the process for us to make winnings. We all want to make winnings but we don't have to become too desperate so it not going to affect us later.
You are probably referring to sports betting because none of what you said applies to gambling games, there is no way for you to be a true gambler and have clean winnings in gambling games, it is absolutely not an alternative to earn profits or money, and there are no skills that one can master that will help them get guaranteed wins. However, some of these things can be said for sports betting such as skills required, true gambler in the sense that you are a true follower of the sport you are betting on, and it can also be an alternative to earn some money if you are actually skilled and experienced in it.

There are gamblers that I know who earn at least some profits every month from sports betting, and it might sound easy to say but it isn't. A sports bettor has to take care of a lot of things like comparing the odds of a match that was lost with the one they are betting on, and how they need to use their bankroll, etc.
799  Economy / Economics / Re: if you think 18k btc is low wait until autumn ... on: October 28, 2023, 07:01:25 PM
What the performance of Bitcoin is going to look like in the next few months is unknown and I don't want to be in a tight spot where I let my guides down, what I've learned so far is that anything is possible in crypto space, what I feared the most is following the hordes, it's a very risky play.

I also find it difficult to try or pretend as if what you believe is what's going to happen, you have no idea, so the only way I plan to avoid this is by preparing for bulls and bears opportunities.

Let's say Bitcoin goes below our expectations, you will only feel sad if you don't have any money to use to take advantage of the dump, so always make sure you have some money ready just in case, it's a lot of stress to believe what people are saying, do not take a side, let the bears be bearish and let the bulls be bullish, I will still be fine.
Yeah but despite of it, people can't stop predicting or speculating. It's like they are too excited of what is to come. We are all like you. We also don't want to be in that tight spot but what can we do? It is the market is the one that orders everything here. In times of hard ships, we can just HODL or buy more Bitcoins.

The storm will just pass and everything will look fine again. The @OP's calls are too low so indeed that it's hard for us to agree with it. Many of us are mostly positive because we already bought some or more. There are still other ways to acquire a Bitcoin even if you don't have a money but we should start them now because most of them take time for us to get paid.
800  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cash out or keep playing? on: October 28, 2023, 04:14:41 PM
That is the greed that often comes to gamblers who have already won. They forget that they have won and should stop gambling and not continue gambling because that will only make them lose. They should be able to understand the situation and not choose to continue gambling, especially if it is a big win. With this big win, the gamblers can withdraw their money and enjoy their winnings but the reality is that the gamblers continue gambling because they think they can still win some more money in a few rounds. And it is true that everything has its limits and if they have reached their limits, they must immediately stop gambling and leave the casino.
Of course, if a player wins, he will continue to play, because few people are ready to stop after winning, but it is important to stop on the day you win, rest is also needed. And in case of a big win, you should withdraw your profit and leave a game deposit, this way you can definitely save what you won and continue playing from the level where you were. Withdrawal of profit is a very important point and not only in gambling.
There is no point in withdrawing just the profits and then losing the initial deposit because if the profit isn't equal to or more than what you have deposited initially, you will still be at a loss if you lose the whole balance that you've left in the account. So, someone who makes a deposit and manages to win something extra without losing any of the original deposit, should withdraw it all, use the deposit amount for another gambling session and enjoy the profits.

This is what a responsible and wise gambler would do, but I know that most gamblers aren't a part of that category and they lack patience and self-control, so only a very small percentage of gamblers will be able to do that and the rest will probably try to win more with the whole amount and eventually lose it back to the house.
