1  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Another health benefit of online gambling on: May 01, 2024, 09:10:48 PM
My neighbor has tuberculosis and from the information I gathered from a reliable source, his case is so severe. He is at the lung cavitation stage of the disease and he has been advised to avoid overcrowded environments for his health and the safety of others. But my neighbor who is a responsible gambler will always visit physical betting shops. Some physical gambling shops in my area are poorly ventilated and they could be overcrowded and stuffy. Sometimes you could see that he is struggling to remain in the casino shop and such cases he would be coughing heavily. I have told him to focus on online gambling but he told me that he is more entertained in physical bet shops.

Betting with online gambling firms will shield you from contracting communicable diseases because you are all alone in a comfortable atmosphere. My neighbor's behavior has made me focus only on crypto casinos because I am scared of my health. Don't get me wrong there are many well-built and very comfortable physical casinos that offer quality services, but when you are an online gambler you will not need to worry about the health concerns of fellow gamblers.

You've found one minor benefit that will be useful to probably a tiny minority of players. I'd say the biggest one is being able to compete with others around the world and pulling in vast profits (let's say poker) that you'd never be able to do face to face. Say if you're an expert player in the Philippines, early on at least you'll never get a visa to join a high roller table in Europe, but you can still clean the table out if you're truly skilled. On the flip side, having that sort of access can get you cleaned out much more quickly too, unless you identify you are leaking.
2  Economy / Economics / Re: Debt Management. on: May 01, 2024, 07:03:02 PM
Borrowing or taking loans is not bad but being a debtor is where the problem lies. What I'm trying to say is that, it's normal to be in need and borrow when you lack, but owing for too long or not being able to clear your debts at the appropriate time, is the problem and can be very embarrassing. Now that's where Debt management comes in, Debt management to my understanding is a process where by one plans strategic means of attending to their debts thereby avoiding numerous debts and be debt free.

 Dept Management is something every human is supposed to be aware of so as to help tackle the problems of being a debtor. Left for me, one who is in debt is like a slave and is bound to face being embarrassed if not they don't apply debt management. That's why before one should take loans, there are many things that's need to be considered. However here are the necessary steps people should take to become debt free;
 Learn to cut cost: one needs to avoid too much spendings, normalize spendings only on necessary things, either for food bills, craving or wants, your expenses should be focused on your needs and not wants.

 Make Budgets: making a bucket list of budgets would aid you to monitor your income and also help you to make right decisions on important expenses.

Avoid spending beyond your budget: this is also another way of debt management because when you spend only what you can afford, it would help you from being a debtor cause you'll be more focused on things you need.

Do not borrow funds to clear debts: doing that automatically makes you acquire more debts and it keeps accumulating because you won't seize to acquire outstanding debts, it would continue to go in cycles until you work hard to earn and become totally free.

Clear debts on time : no one is above being in debt, however one shouldn't settle with being known for a debtor, it brings embarrassment and could cause emotional trauma, therefore one needs to keep tracks of their dept and work on paying them off, beginning high interest debts down to minor ones, needs to be strategic with clearing their debts.

Right choice of investments: investmenting on the right business is just like saving for the future, cause you'll always have a financial support to fall back to, and also avoid taking loans, therefore the right choice of business would guarantee you have a safe heaven rely on instead of taking loans.

Make wise spendings: Consider your financial strength before purchasing items, purchase only items that are of needs not the ones that don't match your financial strength.

 Another way of debt management I could think of is to learn to make proper financial decisions, one should educate themselves financially about  investments and how to plan financially to be debt free.

 Here are some debt management charts to help you understand further.

In Conclusion
 The concept of debt management isn’t talked about often, this is why most people dwell so deeply in debt and they can’t afford to pay it off. In worst cases where the debtor can’t pay back, they tend to take their life, giving up so easily just in the name of frustration. Sometimes taking debt can be a way out for one, that's if you have an innovative mind and know how to utilize the resources given to you. Some people just don’t know how to manage funds, borrowing money to clear debt or to fund your lifestyle isn’t just the best idea infact, it’s just the beginning of your borrowing cycle. If you don’t have any reasonable plan then there isn’t any need to go for a loan.

I'm not sure all the stuff you've put in there is necessarily true. Take "do not borrow funds to pay off debt" as an example. There is a strategy out there of using a consolidation loan which is suitable for some people, although that segment might be relatively small - if you can get a loan rate better than the average if your remaining debt, then it's definitely worth paying off other debts with it to lower your repayments. Also, the only really worthwhile type of debt out there is a mortgage, as the asset is appreciating over time and usually higher than the interest rate you'll be paying over the lifetime of the mortgage.
3  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What will you do if you find yourself in a similar situation like this? on: May 01, 2024, 05:05:36 PM
So, ladies and gents,

Here is a dude who parents trusted well enough to save their money in his bank account, that is, father of this dude (according to the dude) saved all his money on his son's (the dude) bank account, the dude went ahead to start doing sports betting with the money, and like this like this normally turns out most of the time, he eventually lost all the money the father saved with him without the parents knowing.

Later on, the parents found out and became very angry with him, he is thinking of how to handle the situation but doesn't know exactly what to do,
And let's say he somehow manages to replace the money, either by means of borrowing or working menial jobs to raise the money, will his parents ever trust him again to save large sum of money with him?

Assuming you find yourself in a similar situation as this, what will you do? How will you handle the situation to make your parents trust you again?


What would I do? Not be using another person's bank account tl store money for starters. It's an incredibly bad idea to do that and irresponsible for the parent. The son should not have taken the money obviously, but that is a huge and unnecessary temptation for a younger person who will not necessarily understand the risks of gambling. The son will be spending a long time to give back the money, only then can the broke trust start to be rebuilt - it will be a long journey to that point though.

Yes Markets need war and it Will start soon the war is like water for flowers for the Market.
In war we can turn on money printer and buy the bonds so after war year 2028 Will be biggest rate hikes again and no more QE no more money printing so it will be last money printing orgie enjoy this make most of out of this and nobody don't listen anymore If anyone talk about inflation because powers to be even are in gold and btc and making grazy gains.
So enjoy the money printing it will be last one take maximum of this become rich year 2024-2025 or never Will be rich you only Will pay year 2028 higher taxes and higher rates and everything Will be cheap you want to sell Property 2026-2025 then all crashing down.
Just invest in some cheapest coins you make grazy money
Many people Will make so much money in one year from today that they lose their minds.
But off course without bigger war we not going here is the plan start war lower the rates fed ecb boe and send all the markets to biggest bull run in the history get ready for become so rich that you lose your mind.

Over the next years people Will be separated those who are with good mindset and Open minded they will be one place those who not they Will be another place so those who don't want to invest or crypto they Will be another circles those who are in good things they Will be connected.
By wealth society Will be divided 50/50 you will be very rich side doing nothing / poor side working and getting nothing If you know any good people whos going to be poor side then you can save them because you on the good side Will make more money you can spend yourself.


You've been far too vague and it suggests you don't really know how the world works. If you're on about a world war that will involve every country picking a side, then you go to a survival economy and the money printing you've mentioned is irrelevant - all private businesses will likely be reorganized with the aim of winning the war. If it goes on long enough the money supply will be meaningless, because you won't be able to buy much with it and a more structured rationing system will come into place. Money printing will serve no purpose in this global war.
5  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you avoid some games because of racism? on: April 30, 2024, 09:48:26 PM
Especially on sports betting we see some racism happening and this happened in most of the league that are popular of which so many persons bet on. It bothers me to ask, that imagine you placed a bet and somehow you have 80% assurance that it would come out successful. And on the process of waiting for the game to end there was some racism manipulation in the game which made you lost the game. It could be football or other sports cause its mostly found in sports.

Next time would you choose to not bet on a particular game because you feel the members of the VAR, or the referee are racist, and you are sure that there would be some manipulation?

Could you give some actual specific examples or is all you're doing based on speculation? I haven't seen any referee giving off signals they are making decisions based on racism and how would you even judge that? There are so many divers and drama queens in football these days the ref has a tough enough decision without being clouded by other things. Why would it be limited to race? Maybe the VAR ref supports a certain team or wants to see another fail? The decisions they make are ultimately backed up with visual evidence and staying within the rules, if they keep failing consistently then they will lose their job long term.
6  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Inflation Necessary on: April 30, 2024, 08:13:07 PM
The bitcointalk forum is comprised of diverse people from all over the world. Our countries' must have gone through inflation as a nation at least once or more since its history. As a refresher, inflation happens when the prices of goods and services rise and people can no longer afford those items because the country's money almost becomes useless. But is inflation needed? Why can't we just keep the currency at the same value? And why does it only happen to money? For example, the same wouldn't happen if we used gold as a currency instead. Is inflation a ploy that the government uses so people don't get rich off of savings?

People who tout the gold standard simply don't understand it. It had a purpose and fulfilled that purpose at one point in history, a time when things were much simpler than they are now. However it would be unfit for that purpose today because there is too much transaction activity. It's the same problem with bitcoin - it can fill a niche, but is not a direct competitor to things like credit card transaction networks that can keep track of much higher volumes of activity in a much more efficient way. It's nice having a decentralized currency but it is restricted in certain ways.
7  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sports betting for reality not club affection on: April 30, 2024, 12:17:41 PM
Most times we are caught in between placing our bets on our favourite teams to win and not there present form, this action according to analysis shows that it's one of the reasons some persons don't win a sport bet, no matter how hard they try, a team that's not in form or getting the results shouldn't be on your sports betting slip, because they might continue the poor run of form and hurt your ticket, a friend once adviced me never to put my favourite team on my ticket, unless they are in form, am a Manchester United fan but most times I bet against them as long as my ticket is concerned I don't have a favourite team.

You should always be separating emotion from judging risk involved in placing a bet. This can leak in when placing a bet on the team that you support, so you'd have to account and be aware of that bias - but don't need to exclude yourself altogether. As long as you can recognise that trap, it can actually be a bit advantage to bet on your own team, depending on your wider knowledge of the game, it could indicate that you are closed to the game than most other people placing bets and may be able to distinguish a profitable opportunity that others overlooked.
8  Economy / Economics / Re: How safe is it to keep your money and gold underground? on: April 30, 2024, 09:51:13 AM
l watched my grandmother many years ago put her dollars, gold, and silver ornaments in a plastic box and bury them in a hole in the ground, marking the spot so she wouldn't forget it later. If ornaments or dollars were needed, she would fetch the necessary items from under the ground, unseen by all. The work is a little difficult, but she has been doing it for almost 30 years, and she is now an old woman.
     I was very surprised by her strategy. I liked it, and at the same time, I was curious as to why she put it that way. When I asked her, it would be better to keep the funds in a safe place at home or in the in the bank instead of like this. She then told me that neither the house nor the bank are safe.
 Based on that formula, I saw my mother adopt the exact same approach. The mother also has the idea that the bank or house is not safe for these funds, or that it is not a safe place for the money. Because keeping these funds at home is very risky, you should be wary of thieves, robbers, and even rats. Again, in the case of banks, I have heard about the bankruptcy of big banks. Also, if these things are kept in the bank, you have to pay a separate additional fee, and the tax is different.
    That's why they consider this novel method to be safe and confidential.
Also, they are senior people, so they have no idea about the crypto world, and it may take me a long time to understand them.

Many may be confused by reading my title. Some may find this approach ridiculous. But this is a different technique and experience for me.

 Now I want to ask everyone:
    Have any of you ever been aware of this technique before?
And do you think we can keep our savings and wealth underground by adopting this strategy and considering it the safest?
And that being said, how safe do you think it is? At this time?

It's a strategy, but not necessarily a very good one. It can have all sorts of unintended problems. Gold is relatively safe to store in that condition, however dollars could rot away if moisture gets in there over time. Depending on where it's buried, it could be vulnerable to theft much easier than if it's in a storage locker or bank. It only takes one person finding out by accident for you to lose a large sum of money and good luck ever getting it back - if your bank account is emptied you have a paper trail. Also, if she was to pass away it will likely be lost and possibly forever.
9  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are online/crypto casinos the most profitable digital business? on: April 29, 2024, 06:04:05 AM
I can't think of anything more profitable at the moment. Although I don't know in depth the income from online casinos.

However, to create an online casino, you need a lot of investment and be willing to pay for advertising and interact in a forum like this.

I don't intend to have an online casino, I'm more interested in having an e-commerce.

One of the factors that makes me believe this is that there is already a whole audience ready to play in casinos, as they are generally people who bet out of addiction, to make money (or even when they lose, they play just to pass the time). In addition to the fact that there are costs for servers, employees, online attendants, programmers and other costs, unlike physical casinos where the costs are for installations, maintenance, energy and employees and security guards...

Do they make more profit than digital banks, CEX exchanges, etc.?

It's impossible to say really, are we talking about profit margins, the amount of turnover or total profits? Many casinos are private businesses and are able to disguise their profits by keeping it within the business. That being said, you can see from the earnings of the CEO of bet365 that they make substantial amounts. I'm not sure how that compares to eBay or steam marketplace. They'll have fairly low amount of outgoings, after the cover staff, security, development and reoccurring technology fees. They'll definitely be high up there in profitability.
10  Economy / Economics / Re: Harmful effect of robot to the world. on: April 29, 2024, 05:55:51 AM
The use of robot in the world is really affecting the economy and also causing unemployment.
If you build a company and you are making 1 million dollars as profit every month and then spends 6000 thousand dollars to pay your works and then you are given the opportunity to buy robots for 1 million dollars that will do the jobs your works are doing without it having faults for 10 years won't you go for it there by sacking your workers.
In the next 10 years there will be high rate of unemployment in the world because job's that should be done by humans are now given to robots and by so doing it will also affect the economy of the world.

Robots in theory should be a great boost to mankind, as long as rewards are more equally shared in future. Automation has been a great thing for many people, instead of needing hundreds of workers to pick fields of crops now, the most advanced farming setups can be done with less than 10. That frees up all those workers to more productive tasks, as long as the economy is stimulated to create new jobs elsewhere. Eventually we might need to create something like universal income and hopefully squeeze out the billionaires.
11  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich or poor gambler, who should risk more? on: April 29, 2024, 05:33:01 AM
Gambling an activity for fun also has the chance to turn someone's fortune. Calculated risk when taken in gambling can be the way to big wins from gambling. Who do you think should take more risk in gambling? The rich gambler or the gambler who is not yet rich. If a rich gambler takes risks in gambling, they are risking losing money and becoming poor from gambling, or getting richer, when a gambler who is not yet rich gambles, they can also get poorer or richer, so the gambler who should take the risk should be the gambler who can handle the dangers of the risk like losing too. When a rich gambler loses from taking a risk, there is a better chance of them being in a position to manage with the losses, than someone struggling financially who a big loss will really affect. So, I am confused after asking myself this question and answering it, does this mean a poor gambler should continue to play it safe in gambling? With no risk, how can a poor gambler change their fortune in gambling?

This is a good illustration of having the wrong mindset and it is often projected by people who have little money. How much you're starting with should be pretty much irrelevant to your judgement of risk on the bet. You should only be betting what you can afford to lose, if that is $100k for a rich person or $10 for a poor person, that's what you should use for your bet. Thinking you should gamble more proportionate to your earnings is a bad idea and will lead to your stop being rich if you follow it.

Year after year before the cross over service there will be promises of a new beginnings, new hopes, vision, wishes and resolution
Government will come up with the budget of the incoming year and and when you look at the budget it is really interesting with hope's of having a better year ahead as in the budget it capture virtually everything including the economy and other aspects of the nation
But every year that passes on the economic situation is getting worse by the day, infact inflation increase with each year that passes making the living standard of the poor unbearable
This makes me to think and have come to the realization and conclusion that surviving in this present economic situation needs a total different mind set such that will make you to think out side of the box
Investing in crypto currencies like Bitcoin is not a bad idea at all

At all times the same economy is part of a boom and bust cycle. There will be good times, when money flows easily and credit is available for even the most spurious of ventures and even to the worst recipients. Then there will be bad times, when the economy seizes up, banks stop lending to all but the highest credit applicants and lots of jobs are lost. Since COVID we've been in good times, but it can sometimes be hard to determine when the bad times are upon us. Considering how high interest rates are right now - it's causing people a lot of pain in their finances. The best mentality is always keep improving your skillset and keep a hustler mentality.
13  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Anyone +18 Play Gamble? on: April 28, 2024, 03:55:36 PM
Does gambling needs experience or anyone +18, even the inexperienced one can also play? Though playing gamble has a limited age grade or age bracket and the accepted is from  +18 years and there are some casinos hall at the door post, it is written clearly that it is only people of +18 can play. But what about the inexperienced ones, are they allowed to play gamble as well? Or they are also restricted to have the fun? In my observation, there are two elements to participate in gambling. One, you must above 18 years in my country and secondly you must have an experience to play, so I want to know if inexperienced people can also play gamble.

In many countries this is the legal age for someone to be able to gamble and it would be curious to find out the make up of profits that gambling companies are able to generate by user age. I have a feeling that as people grow older, they are less likely to spend money on this activity or may have already been "burned" once and decided to stay away after that. It would be good if some sort of quiz or education test was given before someone could gambling, to make sure they understand the true odds and possibilities for winning, as there might be plenty of younger people bad at math or other concepts who could lose a lot of money - but this is not really practical to implement and enforce jointly worldwide.
14  Economy / Economics / Re: Will communism ever be realized? on: April 28, 2024, 09:22:42 AM
A society without classes, private ownership, and where resources are shared by all.

Will other people try it again? Most likely. Will it fail repeatedly like it has done in the past? Most definitely. Communism has one inherent flaw and that is it works against human nature. Capitalism is so successful because it allows for natural behavior, some people are ruthless (within the restrictions of the law) and will work much harder than other people, they should be fairly rewarded or you discourage this natural competitive edge. Communism has many weaknesses, one of which is that people don't want to rock the boat - so if there is someone in middle management they would rather push any problems away in order to blame someone else for any perceived failures which creates a web of weakness and brittle structure.
15  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Making the Most of $100 bankroll on: April 28, 2024, 09:01:46 AM
I have a friend who is new to sports betting and he asks -
If his bankroll is $100 and he has been told not to use more than 5% of his bankroll per bet, what strategy should he use on this type of bankroll? His question is should he place $5 each on 20 different bets? Or is there a better approach that can be suggested?

I mean, real bank roll management would probably suggest that they only have one bet on at any time and let it settle before placing another one. Otherwise you have a hard time calling it management because a freak scenario could mean 20 losses in one session returning you to zero. If you are comparing it to poker bank roll management that's how it'd work, where you should only be playing in a game which has a bet amount of say 1/500 of your bankroll because natural variance might see you swing positively or negatively for quite a few games. It depends what you're trying to achieve really, because unless you're especially good compared to a company that makes profit from pricing and analyzing bad player bets, then you're going to lose over the long term anyway.
16  Economy / Economics / Re: We need higher wages off course but goverment need to do one thing on: April 28, 2024, 08:49:59 AM
In USA 3000$ minimum Europe 300€-3500€ minimum wage i think UK there 4000$ minimum. Wage
But goverment need to regulate just
Rent prices , energy prices ,food prices.
So If you want to put food price up then you need to be approved by goverment only then you can go over price limit.
We need wages up but same time our regular costs need to be not go over limits.

So things we need goverment must keep prices check becouse the economy is playground and goverment duty is to be judge that everybody play fair game.


These minimum wages are completely wrong, plus they will vary within states and countries of the EU. Your estimate of the UK minimum wage is ridiculously bad, it's more than double what they actually get. The government doesn't need to regulate any of the things you've mentioned, because that would turn them into a communist country which history has shown is a disastrous economic model. It's hard to understand what you're even suggesting but when your numbers are so wrong in your opening sentence it doesn't seem like you have a grip on the real reality of the situation. Many times governments are at the mercy of global markets so have limited ability to fix things and just try to help in the areas they can control, like stopping cheap credit by raising interest rates.
17  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can people still get the addictive nature through friendly games on: April 28, 2024, 01:07:33 AM
Good day friends


Yes the topic name somehow portrays what am about to explain although for a female gender and plus the current society where am staying this kind of habit is somehow strange but I guess most persons must have witnessed it.

So the other day me and my friends both male and female were involved in some house old friendly games like food competition, card game, thumb wrestling and so many more and take to note, all these activities were done just for old times sake and meet between old friends at my place as it included both my husband and his friends but I witness something rather uncalled for.

So I noticed that there were this particular group of guys who really went all out with the friendly and even getting to the extent of making serious argument and almost taking it to the next level for games that were just played for fun purpose and nothing more, it got so worse that the whole atmosphere changed and he instigated that they added some monetary value to the game that he is certain that he isn't going to lose easily and to cut the long story short it went on and on till he barely had much left with him anymore and I had to call the whole thing off and even asked that he money was given back to him but his pride and Shame couldn't allow him to take it back.


So am just curious to know if these little games are the one's that got to him or already developed such habit and to know if possible that the practice will continue elsewhere after leaving there when he lost the money and to look for means through gambling to recover it.

Some people have a hard time controlling their competitive nature and can get rather vicious in the way they like to play games. You either accept the way they play or you choose to drop them and only play with people who are more respectful. Even the nicest people can get hyper competitive in certain scenarios and it can bring out some rather nasty traits. However if you are a confident person anyway, you should be able to brush off and ignore this sort of unkind play style, see beyond it as it is unlikely that they will change. It is similar to people who cannot control their anger, they think that other people should be afraid and cower, so will back down when someone confront them on their poor behavior.
18  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the least risky gambling game at online casinos? on: April 26, 2024, 09:49:56 PM
I've never bet on any online game other than fortune tiger (very little), I want to try something new, but I also want to learn about sports betting and stop just supporting my football team.

Don't worry, if I'm going to bet, it will be after having studied the subject a lot and listening to opinions and recommendations from each answer in this thread.

When I have time, I do research on casinos and sports betting, but what I find is too obvious and impractical, and when I ask my friends at work for advice, they only recommend slot games like fortune tiger.

Please recommend non-slot casino games that are fun and have interesting odds.

It really depends how much time and commitment you're willing to put into it. Most casino games where you play against the house, you are predestined to fail and lose all your money over the long term, they even tell you right up front with the Return To Player calculation, which can be as high as 99% but often sits in the 96%-98% range. If you have the patience and the time to master a real game, where you can make a profit over the long term through intelligent play, you need to start looking at something like poker. In poker the house is always winning by taking a rake, or cut of every hand, but you may be able to get a skill advantage over other players if you can play the game better than them.
19  Economy / Economics / Re: Starting a business without capital. on: April 26, 2024, 09:27:43 PM
Is very possible starting up a business without capital all you need is your ability of pursuing success.
Affiliate marketing is a business you can venture into without capital and still make good money from it, even more than some businesses started with capital.
Affiliate marketing is the process by which a person earns a commission for marketing another person's products.
All you need to start this business is good communication skill in other to sell the product of the other person and get a commission for doing that.
You can decide to market product of different company or person's at same time by doing this you are sure that everyday someone will buy from one of those product's there by making money every day.
When you become an expert in affiliate marketing you will start making profit every day of your life.

The age of the internet made it cheaper than ever to get your business idea out to the whole world with the most basic of computers. You will likely need to raise some small amount of starting capital at the beginning but it depends on your business venture, as you can often get very creative - like drop shipping on ebay or creating logos on fiverr. Competition is fierce online though, so you have to be willing to compete against people who may earn 10% of your wage in a developed economy, unless you can gain the edge with a unique selling point. The cost of living difference around the world can be huge, so creating an established and independent business with a solid reputation is the distinguishing factor you need.
20  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Streaming community are getting worst!!! on: April 25, 2024, 07:29:11 PM
Have you notice? In the streaming community, the influence of gambling is getting worse. Have you noticed that many streamers have started to stream gambling and promote it? Sad, but it's the reality. I'm noticing that the streamers I'd used to watch because of their gaming contents and also streams that they do while gaming are fading; they are focusing on and promoting gambling platforms, and the alarming thing is that those streamers used to have young viewers who also played the games they were streaming, and suddenly they left it all out and changed what they streamed, which was gambling.

I don't blame them, but the thing is, they sell their dignity in order to promote gambling, maybe because the offer is too good for them to refuse, but the concept of them abandoning their dignity and ignoring the fact that they could have a bad influence on their viewers, even if they put a warning about being responsible in gambling, the thing is, people or viewers will for sure be attracted if they see the streamers getting or winning too much money. And the theory is that, what if the money or account they are using is not their money or account? Is it an account from the gambling platform that they let the streamers use in order to promote the platform? I can't ignore the fact that a theory might be possible. Anyway, what do you think? or can you say about this streamer transitioning to streamers whose content is gambling? Feel free to share your insights.

Quite often these streamers are in specific gambling categories which seems fine to me - they are usually restricted to over 18 (or 21) year old viewers who have to actively seek them out. I'm more concerned about all the mainstream game developers who are forever jamming microtransactions and loot boxes into games these days, those elements are introducing low key gambling into even the most innocent look games and breeding dangerous behavior. I think as long as streamers are up front about why and who they are promoting (if they are advertising) then it should be perfectly fine. It's when they are gambling on fake accounts and colluding with casinos to appear like users win more often, that is the truly dangerous part of this.
