Give yourself a break.
This is one measure or strategy I use in my gambling technique to curtail losses upon more losses. Immediately I realize I have made many streaks like about 5 to 7 streaks for the week and I haven't made any win at least out of these numbers of streaks the next action is to give it a break for another new week to come. Believing that it's not my week and there's no need trying more as I will only end up break my bank for nothing at the end.
I do this for a long time now and it works for me by saving me from incurring wasteful losses and also having/saving me some money for the next week to come. Indirectly this strategy also help to moderate my gambling habit and uncontrollable addiction tendency, and it also provide me the chance of having money for any winning opportunity that might come up for the new as I gamble.
At this point what do you think about this gambling strategy I use? Although yours may not be with 5-7 streaks in a week you can also set a number of streaks convenient with you to use. Or is there anyone out there already using this strategy and how beneficial has it being to you?
The trouble with this theory is reality - people who have a hardcore gambling problem will likely keep finding sources of money to spend and aren't even trying to justify their habit any more. The sensible people are more likely to give themselves a break after they get maybe 3 losses in a row. It's all relative and can even depend on what sort of odds you're gambling against or what sort of money you're spending on it. If you're throwing down ten cents and coming up with 10 choice parlay bets, then it's probably a lot less harm than throwing down $100 on 3 separate bets which are low risk but also fairly low return. I tend to stick with the low ball strategy which keeps things interesting for me - you don't win much but get to take some fun risks. |

Over the recent years, technology has improved leaps and bounds, and one notable development is the rise of GPT AI, an artificial intelligence that allows machine to interact with humans in a more natural and conversational way. We cannot ignore the fact that it lessens the amount of work needed in some areas in our economy and society, thanks to the advancements of machine learning, natural language processing and deep learning, as a result GPT AI has become a powerful tool for businesses. Although we could say it gives us benefit, we can't still be so sure with the risks involved that maybe can outweighed or may potentially ruin the economy.
"GPT AI has also been used to develop trading bots that can automatically execute trades based on pre-programmed rules and conditions. These bots can monitor the market 24/7 and make trades based on real-time data, which can lead to more profitable trades and reduced risk."
Based on that statement alone, we can conclude that there will be potential risks such as trading bots that could manipulate the market which could lead to significant losses.
How about you, what are your thoughts regarding this one?
There have been a lot of so-called ground breaking technologies out there which in reality did not pan out to the widespread effect that was claimed by many at the start. Let's not forget that there have been many cases where it gets information wrong and it also gathers information largely from people who have produced it beforehand. While it may put certain groups of people out of a job, which should be beneficial to everyone in the long run as automation often frees up people for other employment opportunities elsewhere, it will probably not go as far as the doom and gloom predicts - of putting everyone in IT out of a job. Bot trading has been around for decades already and as it is based on heavily outdated information it's not really that advanced in comparison. |

I started earning money online before crypto through affiliate marketing and other, I still have my tools and I feel like taking the next step to crypto and online casino, I am looking for list of online casinos that pays people for referring other people even if they have to make deposits first, what is important to me is finding the highest paying ones as I have ways of promoting that I believe will not fail me or waste my time, also is there anyone into this type of side income thing? What type of  advice can you give a dude like me? You should probably look through the top ten most active casino and sportbook threads here, as they tend to have staff that interact with users - a good example that they are running a professional company. If you just rely on users adding links in your thread you might end up with a few duds and waste your effort promoting them. Most will offer some kind of affiliate system but they sometimes require a website that you will be advertising on and won't just accept anybody. You should search "#casino / sportbook# name affiliate program" in Google as sometimes they try to keep them entirely separate from the main site where they might show only refer a friend programs. Avoid using refer a friend if you're doing professional promotion, as it might a) invalidate your referrals and b) pay you less than the affiliate equivalent. |

It seems as if the Oracle of Omaha is throwing his enormous financial clout behind AAPL. While simultaneously reducing his exposure to taiwan based TSMC semiconductor.
They say they increased their stake in apple by a factor of $3 billion in 4th quarter 2022. With the price chart for AAPL during this timeline being quite interesting.
Given apple's known issues with obtaining semiconductors from its suppliers, does this move by Buffett signal those supply chain difficulties are about to be resolved? If anyone would care to question or second guess this investment move by Buffett, I would be curious to know what their opinions are.
I would be curious to know what opinion most have of apple and its products. For whatever reason apple apparently being one of the more polarizing figures in the technology industry.
When you're at Warren Buffett's level of power, as he has said many times before - he's rather limited where he can put the huge mountains of cash that he's sitting on. If he decides to make an offer on a company, unless it is done privately - usually by family owned operations - then the share prices will tend to get bid up so far as to make the deal unworkable. Plus I guess he's identified Apple as being similar in brand status as Coca Cola, which he famously raves about any chance he gets, in that customers are very loyal but also locked into the ecosystem the company has built around it. That's quite valuable really and it's a company that is giving him a lot of cash back to play with. |

The History of BINGO Bingo is one of the most well-known forms of gambling that can be found all over the world. It is actually very popular among older people in my country and usually has a place of its own, but it can also be found in almost any casino. It is said to have been brought up in Italy around 1530 as a form of Lottery and was called “Il Gioco del Lotto d’Italia”. Furthermore, it was later exported to France, where it grew to become one of the most favourite games of the French aristocracy. It was much later named "Bingo" in the US, when it hit the spotlight over there. You can read more about Bingo hereBingo is actually really popular in my country and there's a few countries in Europe where it's played a lot too. There are big halls that tend to draw in a mainly female and older crowd, but it can be pretty fun when the room is getting hyped up. They actually dipped off and many were on the verge of closing throughout Covid because these huge buildings became unused and had a fair rent bill still to cover. I think that it's a growing market again now as people look for entertainment again and remember the good times they had with friends in these places, it's a fairly cheap night out as well with the potential to win back some money. Compared to a lot of other gambling games it is fairly benign and slow play if played in person instead of online. |

Several dozen Lebanese protesters attacked banks in a Beirut neighborhood on Thursday, while blocking roads protesting against informal restrictions on cash withdrawals in place for years and rapidly deteriorating economic conditions.
At least six banks had been targeted as the Lebanese pound hit a new record low on Thursday, a spokesperson for Depositors Outcry, a lobby representing depositors with money stuck in the country's banking sector, said.
A bank in the Badaro neighborhood smouldered as firefighters sprayed water, while riot police stood nearby with shields. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-02-17/lebanese-depositors-smash-up-burn-beirut-banks/101987326What is happening in Lebanon is strange, as depositors cannot access their money, and with the increasing loss of the Lebanese pound, which has lost more than 98% of its value since the collapse of the financial sector in the country in 2019, depositors will be forced to withdraw their money and transfer it before its value turns to zero, as The amount of one million pounds may have represented a value 4 years ago, but it is not worth anything at the present time. Not far from the Lebanese pound compared to stablecoins, deposits on centralized exchanges and other central sectors of the cryptocurrency. I can understand that it must be devastating for people in the country to see that any work they are doing is paid in an almost worthless currency, however they should direct their aggression at the incompetent politicians running the show, rather than the banking system. Burning banks and other infrastructure just seems like a crazily stupid idea because it is just wasting even more limited resources in an already poor country. On a wider scale it also discourages future investment by foreign companies. |

I have a raspberry, I buy the raspberry from myself at $5, two days later, I sell the raspberry to myself at $10, another two days later I buy the raspberry from myself at $15, two days later I sell the raspberry to myself at $25, how much money do I made?
But he see the price of raspberry getting going higher and he got greedy. Contradict to popular belief, stock market can never go to zero, despite having no real buyers, you would die but stock market won’t die, stock market would keep buying to themselves until eternity, the stock would always have price and never at zero. But it’s not zero sum, it is also not waste of time, it is also not useless and produce nothing of value.
The financial guy can see the full picture, but non financial guy can’t see it, non financial guy like professional doctor teacher lawyer accountant engineer are usually the one who gambling on the stock market, it is baffling, and they think they’re impressive and very hostile. Winner focus on winning, loser focus on winner.
Also because I buy and sell to myself, I am the house in this game, if he got greedy and play my game, he is not the house and may not win.
But should you invest in stock market? I dunno, you can try to beat the house.
From your very first sentence it seems you don't actually have much of a clue how the stock market works in reality. Also, the fact that you think the stock market is gambling makes you one of the "non financial guys" who needs to learn a lot more before commenting on it. There are plenty of large companies out there which make profits year after year. If Coca Cola sold one hundred million bottles of coke last year and has grown 5% each year for 20 years straight, then it's quite probable that they might grow another 5% this year or at the very least sustain their profits at the current level, profits which are paid out at least partially to the stock owners - the shareholders. It's not rock science and it's only risky when you buy into companies with little history or profits. |

There ia the big evolution that allow live play roullete and black jack and more.
I consider bw the first one to open live casino street games.
The one that simple players play like 24 (alternatove to roullete)
Coin flip and more all broadcast from thr streets
What you think?
Edit; i dont think all understand here what live casino games means.
If you dont understand what is live gamre watch endoephina is mean the bets ard played live by real person every few seconds. (Real blackjack dealer,real roulletr dealer etc)
So if you think it can be rigged it doesnt make sense. Live casino providers dont gain anything from rigging a game t
For example if lose win 5k hand live black in stake.com by evolultion provider. Evoulution gain about 0.5%.
Stake.com gain the most.
Livecasino providers dont gain shit fron rigging games this why they are much better option than playing on a regular self made casino games. Is more trusty way to gamble.
I think that whoever takes on such a venture better be damn sure that they know what the laws are in the place they are running these games. As I don't know of any country in the world that allows gambling games on the street, it's usually done through licensed casinos - even if no cash exchanges hands on the streets and it's purely for broadcast purposes to people placing online bets. Like it or not, gambling still has a somewhat unfair reputation and is frowned upon by certain people in society - those people and even rival casinos would be quick to put pressure on companies trying to come up with new ideas like this. They could use all sorts of reasoning, like it is in an unregulated environment or prone to abuse. |

Many governments are moving to push hard to reduce sales of diesel and petrol cars, the European Parliament has officially approved a law banning the sale of new petrol and diesel cars in the EU from 2035 The landmark law will require carmakers to cut down CO2 emissions by 100 percent.
The 100 percent cut in CO2 emissions from new cars sold would make it impossible to sell petrol or diesel-powered cars in the 27-country bloc. The law that comes into effect in phases that will require a 55 percent cut in CO2 emissions for new cars starting 2030, which is a much higher target in comparison to the current 37.5 percent. Source ---> https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/auto/electric-cars/no-petrol/diesel-car-sales-by-2035-european-parliament-approves-ban/articleshow/97939363.cmsSome reports indicate that the costs of running an electric car are actually lower than the costs of running a car with an internal combustion engine. So, will this goal be achieved by the year 2035? Will the cars be more efficient and at a good price compared to current prices, or is it a policy that may take decades? It would definitely be a dream for all, but frankly it is only possible for the very richest countries at the moment and the more developing countries will slowly get more of this technology after it becomes cheaper later on. One thing that I hope the politicians and policy makers are taking into consideration is how much pollution is produced from things like the rare metals that batteries contain and that should definitely be factored into the pollution & ecological calculations. If in switching from oil to precious materials we end up releasing poison in a different form, it's a shallow way to act. In the long run electric vehicles should be much better for air quality in many ways, but maybe the next step is re-inventing the wheel - rubber leaves a big mess of it's own. |

It is estimated that the bettors would have profited approximately R$ 2 million (~US$ 383,130.00).  The fraud involved bribes for players, and among the main actions, it was necessary for the player to commit penalties in the first half of the games that were played. Each player received R$ 150,000 per bet for this act (~U$ 28,734.00). In fact, this makes it much easier to earn money from sports betting. Unfortunately these are situations that occur in several countries, but the amount of money involved always calls our attention. In these cases, bets were placed on the competitions that we call "Series B", which is the second largest football championship in Brazil, in which the best classifieds guarantee a place for the main championship in the following year. Do you have any source material to back up this claim? While I've no doubt it can happen, often it is a very hard charge to prove because these things are often done in hidden deals and it's easy enough to create these situations while looking like genuine play. Frankly I have no issue with people profiting at the expense of bookmakers, but it definitely brings the game into disrepute and is effectively cheating. You can never have a fair and honest game if you are playing with people who are trying to profit in this way. Most teams have thousands, or tens of thousands of adoring fans who wish to see a good game and these cheaters also let down their team mates who are trying to win. Hopefully big penalties, both financial and criminal sentences are handed out. |

Hi! A few days ago, we were contacted by a platform helping people with gambling problems. It's an online international platform with courses, self-assessment tests, videos, and a big community of ex gamblers. I know there are people here that gamble too much, it's easily done. If you have problems, contact them. All their services are free to use. I thought it was a good resource to share here. You find the platform here: https://quitgamble.com. May the force be with you! /A It's always helpful to share these types of resources, but I found it slightly ironic that just scanning through the about us page - the founder states that the whole setup is actually funded by a collection of casino gambling comparison sites. So on the one hand they *might* be helping people but on the other hand they are directing new people to these gambling sites that create the underlying addiction, it seems highly hypocritical and I wonder what mental hurdles they jump through to rationalize that to themselves. Anyway, if it helps just one person get free, as it looks like there are some quite expansive sections to the site, then I guess it's a useful resource, but the domain feels a bit ugly (not that it matters much) |

Just found a restaurant where the individual meal costs only 0,57$! Meal composed by rice, toasted cassava flour and black bean stew with few pieces of pork meats. Feeds one person decently and the taste is good. You can eat the whole month for less than 35$, considering lunch and dinner daily! That is perfect for cutting expenses with food!
Do you know any restaurants which serve cheaper meals than that where you live? It must be a meal, not snacks.
What you'll find is the cost of a meal varies hugely country to country. In America you might buy a burger for $10 but the average wage people are paid is much higher. In your country that $0.57 might be worth the same amount in comparison to the average wage. It makes no sense to really give just the cheapest examples without giving a wider context about food costs. The food while cheap does not exactly constitute a well rounded diet and is lacking any sort of variety, unless they have multiple different dishes priced at the same level you wouldn't want to eat it twice a day for a month. Even prisoners seek a bit of variety in their food habits, although it's interesting to see prices from lots of different people here. |

I always have a dilemma when it comes to chasing losses in gambling. When I’m in the good mood, I preferred betting using the same amount multiple times until I hit a winning streak to recover my lose but when I’m in bad mood, I usually increase my bet size equals to my total lose so that I can recover quickly.
What do you typically do when you are on chasing loss situation?
It doesn't matter what you do really, both situations are likely to be equally disastrous for you if you're "chasing losses". Doubling down will just mean you have one less click to perform if that's your final bit of money available. This misses the entire point that you are gambling on a game that is designed and even tells you up front that for every $100 you put into it, you are statistically likely to get only a certain percent back - like $97 dollars. Then you'll put those $97 dollars back in and get back $94.50 and so on. The rare victories you get larger wins will not outweigh this, they are just there to prolong your play and get you into a habit forming mentality - so you'll add even more funds after it's all gone. |

According to various studies and world inequality report 2018, large portion of world's wealth is concentrated in the hands of small portion of population, while the bottom 50% holds less than 2%. This distribution of wealth is highly unequal and cause of concern for many people, as it contributes to social and political unrest all over the world.
What governments can do to make it more equitable?
I fear that the balance has drifted much further away from this in the 5 years since the report was created. Money makes more money is the fact, these billionaires are hoarding their massive wealth and if they have it diversified will be accumulating much more each year with almost no effort at all - in the form of dividends, or companies paying out their profits to shareholders. It's very hard for governments to push back these days and requires every country pulling together to tax them at much higher rates. Frankly, the capitalist model is the best we have but there becomes a point where a single person does not need millions of times greater amounts than the average person just sat in their accounts doing very little. |

There's currently a heated issue between an older cousin of mine and his fiancee, it's a gambling related issue that's now looking like a threat to their relationship. Here's what happened;
My cousin as I know has been an active gambler for as long as I could remember and he's one person that gamble responsibly as he takes it as something that's part of a side hustling and nothing more and he added that the winning streaks he has been getting has really been supportive to him financially too. I get to know this cause that's what he told me when I asked him why does he have to engage in online gambling when he has a good paying job. The disturbing issue here is that a day ago his fiancee whom both have been dating for about a year now, she for the first time had access into his mail and discovered lots of email messages both previous and current from the particular gambling sites he has a gambling account with and her awareness of this has made her to ask my cousin to either chose between quiting from engaging in any form of gambling or ending their relationship.
Her reasons is because she has this brother that's into gambling and his gambling habit has led to him selling off important properties of his and some that belongs to the whole family just to meet up with his uncontrollable gambling urge. And this experience scares her to death having anything to do with anyone she notice that engages in gambles activities especially for someone she's in a serious relationship with, that she can't deal with such reality.
I'll really appreciate to have you share some advise on what decision to take if you were to find yourself in this my cousin shoe. For It's been a difficult moment for him this past two days as he has been thinking of the financial support he at times get from the gambling wins and at same time his fiancee too.
There's a couple factors that might play into this situation. Firstly, when they first met did he exhibit and share this same behavior, because if he did then trying to change him - even if his gambling addiction is destructive - is unlikely to work. He will need to reach a certain low in life where he realizes that gambling is something he cannot control and something that is not beneficial to his future success. It's only him that can deep down change and stop this activity if it's damaging. If he is selling off and consistently losing money on a large scale then he is willing to lose it all chasing some futile dream. It's a tragedy but she would probably do best for both of them if she left, there is a slight chance it might be enough to snap him out of it, because he may end up dragging both of them down in the long run |

Most of us are born in a normal family. By normal, I mean we are nurtured and raised by healthy parents and they are still active when we graduate from college and start working. In many countries where economy has been hit by the COVID and affliated incidents, life has been harder than before and many have to choose to live with or at least ask help from their parents. From parents pespective, I believe as long as they are able to help, most likely they will be willing to help, because they love you. From children's perspective, I think this may solve some realistic problems in the short term, but in the long run, this will damage the creativity and motivation to face life challenges and harm the ability to manage finances, especially if you are a man. I say this because a lot of the friends from my generation are struggling financially now because they have been dependent on their parents and even after getting married and establishing a new family, they took a regular amount of money from their parents to pay off mortgages or cover other expenses. They've never thought about having another stream of income or one day their parents may not be making money and instead need money and care from them. A lof of hidden problems are there but just ignored. In my opinion, the earlier you become independent financially, the more likely you will be living a comfortable life with your finances. Better to know this and be prepared, if you are young.
That seems like a very odd situation you pose, but it may be true in certain situations I guess. You're right that staying "at home" with parents can definitely be stifling to growth because it limits the freedom and activities you can participate in, while also keeping you somewhat in a bubble from certain bills that you might be expected to pay while renting or paying for a house. However no reasonable mortgage provider would lend on the basis that the person cannot fund their own payments each month, so in that sense something went wrong with the financial checks. There is definitely a degree of independence that will never be learned until someone can live fully apart from their parents. |

I assume most gamblers are aware of the saying. The popular theory on beginners luck. But to some extent most people don't believe that their is such thing as beginners luck. I certainly to some extent believe on this because i experienced mine in the first time i tried dog racing in a local casino house am gambling with. I had a massive win of about of 800$ at my first stake on dog number 4 which was having a high odd for them winning and i was very happy but the cashier told me "you just had beginners luck ". But my second thoughts on this was that, its like a trap set for newcomers into the gambling world  . Some gamblers certainly get overwhelmed by the first time win and go all in the habit of gambling. So whats your take on this guysIf you imagine that you are a casino, wanting to draw in gamblers and effectively in control of a blackbox where nobody can see the levers you're pulling, then there is definitely room for some psychological tactics to be played in order to get new players in. Casinos have some of the highest advertising costs, simply because they are money making machines and once you've got a player hooked they can easily start paying out buckets of money. Just look at all the many welcome bonuses on offer, where they give away literally $50+ guaranteed to a savvy player, simply because they know that the vast majority of people who bet will pay in much more than they will ever take out. On balance, it makes much more sense that casinos would engineer favorable conditions at the start of a gamblers journey, especially when they are willing to pay so much to acquire them. |

So here is a small report on the previous week crack down of SEC on Staking services provided by Kraken and Things could also go bumpy for other exchanges too. Maybe these are fuds, but things may changes so i think we should remain active on any news from SEC. 1. On 9th February, SEC Bans staking of crypto in kraken exchange on in USA. other countries can use the staking service. SOURCEAs the in the pic, after that news price of btc moves down from $23k to lowest of $21,473. well this week comes with some positive vibe but things may go wrong after the news of SEC concerns about USD of Binance (BUSD). 2. Concerns of SEC on BUSD may cause trouble for Binance atleast for the market in upcoming days. i think they are planning to give market, goose bump in this month. Well, As we all know BUSD because most of the people use it me included. well Paxos is the main company minting this token. previous year we have heard many news about paxos and binance as fud was created last year, saying that, busd are not under control of BINANCE instead they are under control of PAXOS, and they said paxos was not registered with sec or whatever. all of it was to spread panic in the market. And now again SEC is determined to sue Paxos and asked them not to mint any BUSD after 21 February. What are your thoughts on this. 3. well previous week just like before Binance tried its best to shift the concerns of SEC towards COINBASE platform. as i read some of there article and some of the lines in my interpretation looks like, Binance wants to shift that banning concerns towards Coinbase staking system by saying following lines. 4.Well despite of sec's prohibition on Paxos to stop minting BUSD, CZ of Binance, told that paxos will contune to mint busd. Well Binance does cover a great analysis about How will these crackdown boost the prices or market cap of Ethereum (decentralized) SourceWell no doubt remains there when these bans on staking would cause many exchanges to bankrupt because of shirftness of investors and stake holders to other platforms. Well, in some ways these bans are also backing the ecosystem like when people tend to go for decentralized platform to stake there assets. Maybe there are more surprises. There is definitely a storm brewing against a lot of exchanges at the moment and regulators are taking an opportunity to target cryptocurrency users now the price is back down again. However some of these companies did just keep pushing the limits of what is acceptable and eventually they were going to dance over the line. As an outsider it is apparent that many of these crypto asset schemes were just thinly veiled scams or activities that constituted fraud in the past, just with a new style to them. Even more so when they are heavily endorsed by certain celebrities who use their connection to pump up junk schemes that it might be impossible to get out of once you're in. |

We all know that gambling existed long time in human history and in several forms and ways. I’m sure old people has another image when they think about gambling the first thing coming on their head is most probably cards, casinos and horse racing since they were more famous than any other game. Now as in this new generation of gambling thinking of it generate an image of slots, betting and live card tables and tou can gamble in your own house without getting in touch with people all you need is your device and access to internet.
My topic today is about a simple question, Do you think gambling in old days is more safe than our days now?
Just 2 months ago in my region unfortunately a guy in my age has been murdered in cold blood only for gambling when the victim managed to win a good amount of money against the owner of an illegal small casino. If these two people where gambling online nothing bad could happen
In the other hand gambling online also have consequences such as getting scammed by the casino as well.
The scenario you described, where someone was murdered due to winning at a physical casino, seems extreme and there will always be these unique situations that likely had much more to the story. The underlying message in that scenario however, is that you must trust the place you're gambling in - whether it is online or in the real world. In both cases if you are gambling with a tiny operation then you are much more likely to get screwed over if you want to redeem a sizable win. That sizable win to a small casino could bankrupt them if they are poor at bankroll management, however it would likely be an insignificant blip in the finances of a larger gambling company. In general, gambling has gotten safer and safer over the years, thanks in many parts to the internet. |
