Betting big money will not increase the chances of making money but instead risks losing that big money in one spin. So this will only cost them their money if they lose. And we should determine how much to bet according to what we can afford.

Maybe you are not reading carefully what you are posting. Clearly betting huge amount will increase your chance of making money since your bankroll is huge. You will earn 1M if you place 1M on 50% chance game which is more money than placing bet with 1$. It’s true that you are increasing risk too but that’s the part of high risk high reward.

I’m not saying that betting big will increase your winning percentage but rather the volume of money you can get as profit or simply make money.

I think there is a little misunderstanding here, maybe what @maydna means is that in gambling no matter how big you bring the budget, it still won't be able to guarantee you to get a more accurate chance of winning, we can see that there is the word "opportunity" or what it means is "possibility", it seems that your perspective is too directed at the high number of wins when we bring a bigger budget, And obviously the "number of wins" and "chances of winning" are very different, meaning the number of wins where you have managed to get lucky with a large budget then obviously the winnings will also be bigger, and for the matter of chances of winning it relates to the possibility of luck and is still uncertain whether you will win or lose.

Gambling is basically really a race to luck, nothing more than that. No matter how big the budget you bring if you are not lucky then obviously you will lose with that budget, big or small the casino will not care. So in this context I see some very useful advice, as conveyed by @maydna, which is that you should bring a smaller budget amount, because no one can predict the final result, and of course with a smaller amount, the risk if you lose will also be small, none other than this is just to minimize the amount of loss.

Now this is a fatal negative impact of gambling addiction, people are willing to spend money on gambling with the belief that they can win big, right you say maybe parents pass on wealth to their children but without telling them how to do business to make money. this is what I fear for today's youth maybe those who have a lot of money can also lose all their money especially with young people with mediocre income, of course it will be bad for them.

It is good that their family, friends, close relatives criticize or advise those who are addicted to gambling, it is indeed difficult to stop from things called addiction, in my opinion gambling addiction is the same as drugs It is very difficult to stop and leave it, in my opinion the most first They must have a strong determination in themselves to leave gambling because even though there is support from the closest people, if the gambling addict has no determination in his heart it is useless.

In the last few days I read the news that there are several world soccer players who are involved in gambling and may become addicted to gambling. Even though we know their income from football is very large, it is still a serious problem for them. Because if we have a lot of money then we will not gamble with small bets, so that the money we have will eventually run out.

However, if gambling addicts have been given advice but they ignore it and continue gambling then I prefer to let it be because if the money runs out it will definitely stop, it's just a matter of time.

Yes I also heard the news, I know who he is but maybe here we will not mention the object but we will take lessons from events like this which is indeed now the level of gambling addiction is getting higher in several countries including in my country which is now the amount of money turnover in government data is getting higher in just two years the number of gambling transactions has skyrocketed. Of course this is a high enough concern for the government which will have more problems and also the crime rate in the country due to the impact of gambling. Yes, I also can't think of them, even though the salary from football is very large but somehow they still expect income from gambling, for the problem of addiction or not that person I don't know but it is very clear that such behavior can damage the prestige of their football, especially as a player who is quite famous in the public eye. Of course the logic is that their salaries are large and if they gamble then the allocation of money they use must also be quite large and above the average gambler.

Basically, if their addiction is very high then surely some of the advice they receive will not be too influential, they will ignore it, if indeed you have given up on giving advice then please if you want to leave it. Sometimes they can stop when they have experienced huge losses in gambling.

But honestly it goes back to yourself or themselves, if indeed your finances are not good - fine then maybe you don't need to force to accumulate bitcoin because there is absolutely no compulsion for us to invest, whenever you are ready then you can start, the most important thing is not to sacrifice your life needs such as costs for basic needs and then allocated to bitcoin, your life is more important than anything, and well if you still have a way to be able to improve the situation like that then do it. Start saving from now on and use that money for bitcoin allocations, none other than that also to realize all your dreams in the future, just need to be consistent and patient.

I think that a lot of people should be able to put away $10 per week (or even $100 per week) for years and years and years without really worrying about it - however, some people are still pretty damned poor and they might have to stop their DCA after a year or two, even if their exposure might not seem very large to the rest of us.. for example, a person investing $10 per week would ONLY have $520 invested after 1 year and $1,040 invested after two years,

yet that might be enough of an investment that they might feel that they cannot justify putting more money into BTC.. or maybe they just change their strategy to stop DCA'ing or to cut their DCA to a lower number or to replace or supplement DCA with buying on dips... so there can be quite a few ways to make adjustments to your BTC investment approach, even partially based on having have had built a decently sized position that gives more options but does not necessarily mean that there is a need to go from accumulation phase and straight to liquidation phase without first passing through a kind of maintenance stage.. Each person has to make these kinds of decisions about various transitions and even about how to move from one to another kind of phase with increments and without necessarily feeling that extreme changes need to be taken.

Well maybe I will agree with your assumption, it is quite reasonable to digest especially in terms of adjustments when the situation is really unfavorable or unfavorable, if indeed there are one of them the investment actors got a situation like this then I hope they are not at their wit's end, or that means they can think of finding other alternatives as a solution to the problem... I understand they want to keep the DCA approach to investing that they've always done, if your situation suddenly worsens and makes it difficult for you to continue doing the same DCA then maybe the only adjustment they can make is to follow your approach @jay. This is not the end of your approach to bitcoin investing but maybe just a little problem that I think is quite common in the real world in the lives of everyone including yourself who is experiencing it. They can start from a smaller amount than usual in terms of accumulation to be allocated, that's fine because it's still possible to do, and well keep a serious mindset according to their plan at the beginning, agree with "without worrying too much about it" as you said. Stick to your best plan even if the allocation amount is slightly smaller due to the situation that befell them, the important thing is that you can still remain consistent.

If you continue to do it consistently for at least 4 years then it's quite clear that allocating only $10 / week or month is quite a lot when calculated over the next 4 years, and of course I think you will feel a sense of satisfaction when the time comes. The point is that this is not the end of your investment approach through DCA, because there are still many ways of adjusting that still seem reasonable to do, I hope they can still consider it perfectly when they are in such a position, and also of course to make a decision that they can be sure that it is the most appropriate.

Of course, support and attention from those closest to you is very necessary for people who are addicted to gambling so that they can be aware and reduce their gambling activities or can stop gambling because the motivation received by gamblers is really from what they do and is well received. .

Yes, I agree, a good friend will definitely give good advice, if a friend is doing bad activities then the friend will immediately make him aware so that it doesn't cause bad problems, because a true friend definitely doesn't want to see. his friend is in a pathetic or deteriorating condition.
Support and attention from the people closest to him can encourage him to stop his gambling addiction and feel that he is not struggling alone but that there are people closest to him who are also helping him. There is always motivation that the gambling addict will receive so that he can remain focused in going through all the stages of healing his gambling addiction, and he will not feel that it is hard to do. And that's because there are people closest to him who always accompany him while healing his gambling addiction.
There are some people who have been messed up because of gambling addiction and doesn't have anyone close to open up to and that has resulted to more harm caused by gambling addiction. So for anyone who's addicted to online gambling, another means of stopping it is to find another thing that is fun to do by the person and do cross addiction.
Cross addicting to other activities like gaming or sporting  activities like playing of football would help the person not always think of gambling. If the addicted person can do this, he'll definitely stop online gambling.

The impact of gambling is very significant so it is not uncommon for us to find news that shows some people who finally end their lives because they are in debt as a result of gambling, this is really a big problem and must be avoided, I'm sure everyone doesn't want to be in the same position but if they don't take precautions and think that there is no problem in gambling I think they think gambling is too common, especially in terms of its own impact, they don't know about this. If you are a responsible gambler and also gamble just for fun and not addicted at all then that's fine and up to you, of course in the sense that you have to stay within such limits until an unspecified time. But the fear is when you are too serious about the opportunities that exist in this gambling, don't let you get trapped by your own mindset because you are too ambitious and put too much hope there.

Gambling addiction is indeed very scary, even though you are still at a low level but still over time it will continue to grow worse. That's right, one of the things that can be done for prevention or to stop is that you must be able to find other activities that are fun but do not have the risk of gambling, if you can do it then indirectly your mind will be distracted from gambling and gradually you will be able to forget it.
646  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Gambling affect your relationship? on: October 14, 2023, 04:00:17 PM
Wrong assumptions would really be ending up whether a disaster or the right call on which most of the time when it comes to gambling then having those kind of thoughts really do end up negatively.
This is why it would really be that better that you should really be sensible on what are the things that you are doing specially that getting in touch or dealing with gambling on which we do know that it is really that imposing such risks and lots of people do really fail on trying out to control themselves and this is why disasters do really happen in the end of the line. Gambling could really affect with your familys relationship on which it would really be just that so normal that if finances had already that ended up on getting compromised or affected then it would be that normal that
needs and wants are already that been in concern.

No wife will really be happy on seeing that your children is really that suffering when it comes to their needs just because their father is really that too irresponsible when it comes to spending.
Its never been recommendable that you would really be that secretive towards your gambling activity because on the time that you would get caught then for sure it would really might
result into divorce if its not been fixed or been properly be resolved out. We dont know on what would happen because decisions be made will really vary.

Well I also don't understand whether they really don't realize that the mindset and assumptions they bring are beyond common sense, as you said the mistake of putting assumptions will end up with something they don't want at all. So we have to really be wiser in seeing things, especially in this gambling, I understand there are opportunities but I say the chances are very small and the fact is that you are always difficult to get a win there, so with that alone it has been proven that the mindset you bring cannot prove anything including your own expectations, and even if it is proven but maybe only occasionally from the dozens of trials you have done. In the event that you've got a lot of time on your hands, you're going to want to make sure that you've got a good idea of what you're going to do.

In terms of family relationships, I think this is quite easy to guess, as we know when someone is married, there will be basic needs that must always be met, such as feeding his wife and children is mandatory, while gambling greatly affects a person's finances, meaning that it is clear that the family economy will be disrupted or decreased due to one of them gambling. In fact, as you said friend, it is not uncommon for many to end up divorced because they cannot afford all the financial conditions that are getting worse. So the point is that gambling has a very negative impact on everything around you, so there is no other way to avoid it unless you stop.
Would really be that mind boggling on how someone would really be just simply ignore with those risks if ever they would really be making out such action. It would really be that impossible that you wont really be able to notice up such possibilities that could happen ahead. Self will is there and we do know on whats wrong and whats right but it cant be avoided that you do tolerate out such behavior even if you do know on what are those possible consequences but still you do decide to go further and do really continue on what you do have in mind. I would say that its never been worth on destroying your families relation specially into your wife and into your kids just because of gambling. Mistakes could happen but as much as possible then you better avoid that because gambling is really just for entertainment and its not something that would really be worth for you to be able to in exchange with your family situation and condition specially on finances or money.

Dont make yourself that ending up on banging your head into the wall just because you have lost your family or loved ones because of the action that you had made.
Regret do always come at the end and if you arent really that careful nor mindful about your actions then most likely you would be experiencing such devastated situation on your entire life
on which it could bring out that entire life regret and telling that you shouldnt have done that.

Yes, I also can't understand why they can ignore the huge risk, even though they always lose, they always do it and don't think about how long they want to do activities that are not profitable at all, they always assume that gambling can give them a big win and also satisfaction, but the reality is not like that, and even reversed far from expectations, even though the expectations you bring are nothing more than something excessive that you get because of opportunities and then you like to conclude that the opportunity is really real. It is not like that buddy, you are wrong in thinking and inferring the opportunity that is meant in gambling. So I think you should immediately correct your mindset before going further and of course there will be more losses.

I think there is nothing else you can do but try to stop, after all you have to think about life and especially the family economy and I think you also know that your responsibility for children and wife is very large, so this can really have a bad impact on your life and theirs. That's right, if you continue then it's very likely that you're going to be in a stressful position because the finances are going to get worse and you might do something out of control there. So we always try to prevent it before it's too late.

It is true that sometimes everything will go to red and we have to consider whether everything going to red will affect us, and I would think that if we have already decided to invest into bitcoin based on our income and we have chosen a DCA amount, then we just continue to buy bitcoin, and sure if our income or our expenses had changed, then our disposable income has changed, so then in those circumstances, we may well need to make some adjustments, but our investment thesis should not necessarily change very easily when it comes to something like bitcoin.   
That's true Jay you have spoken well, I have actually learnt a lot from you and I believe others will also benefit through understanding your explanations, however irrespective of our DCA method there could be a time when things may not be too rossy for us due to other serious pressing needs but however we should be able to adjust our accumulation amount in other to solve those needs and at the same accumulating.

Actually even with DCA method the possibility of things getting hard sometimes that even with the reserve funds may not be enough to Carter for those needs but as an investor we should be able to remedy that situation by adjusting our accumulation pattern maybe by reducing the disposable amount use in accumulating, for instance if our weekly accumulation amount is $10 however in other to adjust to fit in the needs we could reduce accumulation to $5 weekly and when those pressing needs are solved we could continue our normal accumulating amount.

It is true that since the beginning of this topic until now, to be honest, I have also gained a lot of knowledge, especially in terms of bitcoin and various other ways that are more reasonable and very easy. For DCA itself I admit that indeed this is a very simple strategy but it is very suitable especially for those who are beginners, not at all complicated and maybe they only need basic knowledge of what DCA itself means. And well even though there may already be a method that can really help this but the problem is still not over, there must be some factors that can cause us to fail or maybe be late in the accumulation of bitcoin. I agree with you, basically the situation and conditions will not be completely in favor or may not always support us in investing bitcoin, especially in terms of finance or someone's finances that are not good or possible. Of course some problems in real life can occur and adjustments become the initial solution, try to keep everything running in balance between basic needs and bitcoin accumulation.

But honestly it goes back to yourself or themselves, if indeed your finances are not good - fine then maybe you don't need to force to accumulate bitcoin because there is absolutely no compulsion for us to invest, whenever you are ready then you can start, the most important thing is not to sacrifice your life needs such as costs for basic needs and then allocated to bitcoin, your life is more important than anything, and well if you still have a way to be able to improve the situation like that then do it. Start saving from now on and use that money for bitcoin allocations, none other than that also to realize all your dreams in the future, just need to be consistent and patient.

Yes, although initially they may believe and think that gambling will not affect everything around them including relationships with some of their closest people. but I say that it's just their feelings because they have entered the addiction phase so there they like to justify all means, assume that their mindset is correct when in reality it is very ridiculous. As we know that those who are already addicted bring a very strange mindset, thinking that they will be able to make money from gambling, is it true? have you proven it? I say no, how can you want to make money in a place that only relies on luck to be able to win, it makes no sense. The fact is you keep losing and losing everything you have, there's no doubt you've borrowed from people just to gamble and you're doing it for something that doesn't even give you any guarantees.

It is very clear that the negative impact of gambling is not only you who will feel it but the people around you will also definitely be carried away by the negative flow. Yes for those who are already addicted, as I said above there is no doubt at all to spend money just to gamble, the salary they get from working for a month they will spend just for one or two days gambling, not healthy. Basically, it is quite difficult if they are already addicted, they need help from people around them to justify their wrong mindset.
Wrong assumptions would really be ending up whether a disaster or the right call on which most of the time when it comes to gambling then having those kind of thoughts really do end up negatively.

649  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can somebody make a successful career in gambling on: October 13, 2023, 07:15:40 AM
It may hard to believe but yes, there are really some lucky gamblers who have made a successful career in gambling. But for sure, they don’t reach that level instantly. They may have endured a lot of losses at first until they start to master their gambling strategies and attract some luck most often. Though this is really risky to consider gambling as a career, but if you are capable to make it happen, then why not? But you need to have a real job of course to back up your gambling career so that if ever you lose your luck in gambling, at least your finances will not end up collapsing as well.

Honestly I never thought if there are people who are successful in gambling, how can they be successful in a place that is only based on luck? and well this is very difficult to understand and understand, for those who are successful in gambling maybe I would not agree too much, and I think maybe for those who are successful in gambling who only rely on gambling as an intermediary for income,
Since there is no guarantee of winning in gambling, we will not win regularly in gambling and if we don't win regularly then how can we imagine it as a career. I can imagine a career where I can make regular money from gambling but is that realistically possible? I have also never seen anyone who has taken up gambling as a career. However, I have seen some gamblers who have other sources of income and also spend a long time in gambling and manage good gambling. They are very experienced. Comparatively their number of wins is not less but more than usual. We must not depend on gambling as it is uncertain. It can not be a career but an entertainment platform.

Of course it's obvious, there is absolutely no guarantee to win but to lose obviously it will always dominate, as we know and maybe most of us also know that the casino has arranged everything there, the chances of winning are there but I say it's only a small part that is very difficult to get, therefore honestly as I said before I do not understand if there are people who can succeed in a place that only relies on luck.

To be able to achieve success there will always be something consistent that we must get so that we can reach the highest point in that field, well while do you believe there is a consistent word in gambling? I think by just understanding that this is just luck alone can be sure that there is no consistent word in it. If you ask what is meant by a career in gambling, I think it is only for those stremers who strem with gambling objects and then they will get paid by the casino that told them to promote. So it is clear that their income is not purely from the gambling they do, but from agreements with several large casinos and gambling is only a medium.
650  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Knowledge vs hodlings on: October 12, 2023, 04:30:11 PM

 Before investing or trading, one must comprehend blockchain technology, cryptography, and economic ideas behind Bitcoin.

Are we undervaluing theoretical knowledge because we want to act now? Bitcoin is rooted in technical and economic theory, thus buying cheap and selling high is not enough. We must also comprehend market trends, regulatory settings, and security processes. Practice is important, but viewing it as an endless circle without practical outcomes is risky.

We all learnt how to save little money that we don't need from when we were young, and sometimes we don't even know what to use the money for, but it just keep in piling up. This is how anybody that believes in bitcoin don't need 100% of know but rather the basic one, so that as he is hodling he can keep on learning about is investment. I don't see how such person will not be successful in his bitcoin journey when he plans to hodli and DCA regularly for eight years and above. Hodling bitcoin for long and using DCA strategy only needs patience and discipline for you to achieve your target bitcoin amount because you never planned  selling anytime around the corner. Whatever knowledge he needs, he can learn it during his hodling time.

That's right, since childhood our parents have always taught us to start saving early on, no matter how big the budget you will allocate to save, but certainly if you have money that you don't know what to use, or maybe money from the rest of your needs such as snacks or whatever we need to allocate it to save, nothing else our parents indirectly teach us to think about the future. Now everything is sophisticated as the times develop, and of course bitcoin is one of the effective ways to save by using DCA, there are so many benefits they will get and of course they will avoid the inflation that occurs. 

True, I think it's quite simple, if indeed their goal is to save only then it will not require 100% understanding, only with basic knowledge they can start, honestly this is very simple to do. All they have to prepare is a budget that really won't be used for other needs so that their HOLD planning will not be disturbed, and also of course as you said we only need to be consistent and continue to be patient in our planning using DCA until the target we have planned is achieved, in fact everything seems very easy if you know and want to start using DCA.

Yes, Gambling addiction has strained a lot of relationships through financial instabilities emotional turmoil, social isolation, and family problems.

People who have become addicted to gambling and think that they can generate income from gambling, are examples of people who will have damaged relationships, whether family, business, or partner. I often meet people like that. When they earn $500 in a month then they use almost 3/4 of their income to gamble. They hope their bet will be good several times over. Some people can use under 10% of their income to have fun, but the problem is that not everyone can control their desires so they don't get addicted.

Yes, although initially they may believe and think that gambling will not affect everything around them including relationships with some of their closest people. but I say that it's just their feelings because they have entered the addiction phase so there they like to justify all means, assume that their mindset is correct when in reality it is very ridiculous. As we know that those who are already addicted bring a very strange mindset, thinking that they will be able to make money from gambling, is it true? have you proven it? I say no, how can you want to make money in a place that only relies on luck to be able to win, it makes no sense. The fact is you keep losing and losing everything you have, there's no doubt you've borrowed from people just to gamble and you're doing it for something that doesn't even give you any guarantees.

It is very clear that the negative impact of gambling is not only you who will feel it but the people around you will also definitely be carried away by the negative flow. Yes for those who are already addicted, as I said above there is no doubt at all to spend money just to gamble, the salary they get from working for a month they will spend just for one or two days gambling, not healthy. Basically, it is quite difficult if they are already addicted, they need help from people around them to justify their wrong mindset.

The cycle of gambling will always rotate between whether you are lucky at the time or not at all and that will be the answer, even though you may bring some methods that you think are accurate it still ultimately depends on your luck there. In my opinion gambling is nothing more than an act that is just for fun, because obviously if you take gambling too seriously then surely things that they don't want to happen, that's why now many are addicted and they find it difficult to stop and besides that, of course, various financial problems will definitely be felt.

Bayern Munich did not become German champion for many years because they are so good. They often became German champions because the other teams were worse and did not perform consistently well throughout the season. There are 34 matchdays and the players from Bayern Munich have the mentality to take their chances until the last second. Only when the whistle blows after the 34th match day the game is over for them.
I don't think it's mostly about performance, because at some point Dortmund had quality players and has produced top class players but they sold them off to other clubs for cash benefits, they would had been a very tough team and competed with Bayern to win the trophy, Bayern Munich is more successful than them, because they invest alot on quality players and use them to achieve trophies and sell the players when they're incompetent unlike Dortmund that sell players when they're at their peak.

 Well so far Leverkusen is improving and with how they're going they may likely be the team that would stop Bayern's dominance in the Bundesliga over the years,  though it's not going to be easy winning a team that's dominated for decades, Dortmund tried and almost got it but failed let's see if Leverkusen would.

The point is that each team has a different way of managing its team, as you said about the difference in the performance of Dortmund and Bayern Munich, in my opinion these two teams are reversed in terms of managing their teams, but honestly I don't say they are bad, which is certain as you said Dortmund has a very different way compared to other clubs in managing its squad, which is where when other clubs are improving their club's performance by bringing in a lot of new quality ammunition but Dortmund is the opposite, they are always disciplined with habits that of course have an impact on their performance, selling some of the players they have managed to form perfectly in order to get large amounts of money and also sometimes Dortmund sells quality players to their rivals. Honestly, I don't understand the way they do this, what is certain is that money is the main thing for Dortmund and with that, it is commonplace when Dortmund struggles in the title race at the end of the season because their performance is difficult to be consistent.

True, this season Leverkusen is one of the clubs that will be very threatening for several clubs that are in the hunt for trophies in the top five and especially for Bayern Munich itself, of course Xabi Alonso's squad has a great opportunity to break Bayern Munich's dominance as defending champions.

-snip
If someone is married and his income is unstable, he should stay away from gambling and look for a better job to meet his daily needs. If he thinks of gambling to double it, it will not work well but he may end up losing and losing his money in gambling. But if he could get a better job, he could make money from his salary to make ends meet. Instead of gambling and not being able to make money, finding a job would be better for him.

If he already has a very large income, he shouldn't gamble because we know that gambling can give someone problems. Even though he can now control himself well, there are times when a person is weak and ends up gambling and he can lose control of himself. That's when he will find it easy to deposit more money to gamble and that's where problems after problems will start to emerge. He can find enjoyment from gambling that can make him return to gambling more often than when he first gambled.
you provide a good summary of your opinion about this and indeed if you already have family ties or are married and have the responsibility to provide for your family, it would be better to stay away from gambling to avoid very bad risks in the long or short term.

and for someone who is not married or is just dating and not married, it is up to them whether they want to take wise steps to avoid gambling or continue gambling, but for me reducing gambling activities and always using a small budget would be better.

That's right, of course gambling activities will greatly disturb the economic or economic factors in the family, there will be a lot of negative impacts that they will feel in terms of finance, and this is especially for those men who have full responsibility in the family for financial matters to support their families, honestly this is very feared and if they cannot stop their bad activities then it is very possible that things that are not wanted will happen. For example, now there are quite a lot of cases in households in terms of gambling, not even infrequently they end up separating because they are not strong with the economy that is getting weaker due to one of their families entering into gambling addiction.

And yes I understand it's very difficult to get out of the addiction zone, but there is no other choice for them but to stop, because if not then obviously the impact as I have mentioned above is very likely to occur. So the point is that it's better for you to stop now, it's hard but you can start slowly and keep fighting, keep your mind away from something that can make you gamble, get out of the gambling environment. I think for those who are not married and still in the dating phase I think there is no harm in stopping gambling, the relationship is not a benchmark for you to stop, and even if you are still living alone there is no harm in stopping because it is better, and yes it is true that reducing gambling activities and also by reducing the budget can be an effective way to stop slowly.

Gambling is not a job. But I don't blame anyone if someone thinks about using gambling as a job. Maybe they feel capable of earning money from gambling and have skills in betting. But most people will fail before they can even make money from gambling. It is difficult to achieve something that, for most people, it is also difficult to make money from gambling. So it is better for those who still experience losses at gambling not to consider gambling as work and only as entertainment.

It will not cause them problems while gambling because they can treat gambling as entertainment. They will know when they can gamble and when to stop gambling. They do not intend to win the gambling game because they know it will be difficult for them. They are better off having fun and betting on many gambling games. Who knows, they might win later.

Obviously I agree with you that gambling is not a job or even at all can not be made the main job, it is clear because there is no way they can earn income especially consistently from a place that only relies on luck. That's a general statement that I think everyone must also understand, except for those whose mindset has been disturbed or unhealthy and we can see how many people have fallen down due to taking it too seriously or assuming too much in this gambling, they really regret it when they run out of everything.

Honestly, I don't know why now there are still people who even follow their wrong mindset, there is one of my friends who can't even miss a day not to gamble, he says winning or losing is normal but what often happens is always losing but strangely he seems normal, even though on the other hand there is nothing or success that can be achieved there except for occasional wins and that is very rare. This is just a cycle that will continue to spin indefinitely and is not a process that can lead you to success in gambling. That's right, it's better to stop before it's too late, change your wrong mindset, don't wait to run out of everything because you will definitely regret it.

Dortmund last season was superb they did great and almost won the league but this season they're not very consistent and could kill your expectations when you bet on them to win
Bundesliga have been dominated by Bayern Munich in decades, absolutely no form of power from the Bavarians, but I hoped someday, things will changed. Borrusia Dortmund is competitive and stands as the only team that can challenge Bayern Munich for Bundesliga title. The only thing missing out in Dortmund is their inability to maintain top players in the club, always selling their brilliant and valuable player each time is transfer window season. Dortmund tried their best to lift Bundesliga title last season but failed on attempt, they were so close but messed up their chances.

Of course we always see that for decades Bayern Munich has always been able to dominate the Bundesliga title, they have a very great strength so it is not strange if they can indeed become defending champions. Especially now that Tuchel has got the player they always wanted in the transfer market whose negotiations look very tough, namely Harry Kane, with his arrival then as we have seen how Kane plays, he is able to realize the hopes and expectations of his new manager and also from Bayern Munich fans with his sharpness on the front lines. But honestly I would not call them weak this season, which is certain that the current season is much different from the previous season, which is very tight competition in the top five standings, Leverkusen, VfB, and Dortmund are clearly a big challenge for Tuchel's squad, and with competitive conditions like this in my opinion there will be opportunities for the teams I have mentioned above to break Bayern Munich's title dominance.

Yes I think everyone already knows the bad habits of Dortmund, they have a very profitable business but on the other hand it is quite detrimental to the performance of their team and of course with that business habit they will be difficult to be able to perform consistently every season. Last season Dortmund swallowed a bitter pill, and let's see if they can compete until the end of the season to win the title that had failed.

As the gambling industry is evolving, I think innovations would have kicked in that can make someone create a career from gambling. I do not know how this can be achieved but I feel it is possible.

Making gambling a full time job might be seen as risky but I still feel one can make gambling full time job and a career.

What do you all think?
There are career gamblers alright, but they don't make their income from gambling.
They either have a successful business or a lot of inheritance behind them and gamble with what's peanuts to them, or they simply are sponsored or earn from promoting the casinos/sportsbooks they play at...

Much of gambling streaming is in fact done with funded accounts where the person playing doesn't in fact keep the earnings but is rather paid a stable salary. So while career gambling exists, we ought to recognize that it's just a fallacy. The money comes from other sources. You can't just keep winning reliably in gambling as the odds are always stacked against you. Otherwise games wouldn't be sustained.

Yes, and we should really be able to distinguish what is meant by a gambling career, they gamble but not too seriously and do not pursue the winnings that are there, because obviously it's just their job that is driven by some sponsors who will pay them. So they don't focus on getting money from their gambling but from the sponsors who pay them, as we know now there are quite a lot of stremers who broadcast gambling and carry some well-known sites, nothing but they are like marketing agents hired by the site to be sponsored. And that means that the gambling they show in their streming is only a medium for them to get money from promoting.

It is true that the funds they play are not officially from their personal money but it has been provided by the casino that has given them a job to promote the site. Therefore, sometimes we like to see the budget they carry when playing live is very large, and we think they are like rich people with a very large budget, even though it is nothing but a promotional account that they play, which means that the balance there is not entirely correct.
658  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino is a Games of Chance and Entertainment on: October 10, 2023, 10:21:55 AM
That's right, and I think that's a very basic thing and also the main point when they are in gambling, the activity is nothing more than a place to seek pleasure and not to seek victory or income because of opportunities. Yes, that's right and with that it is very clear that when they take gambling too seriously or instill the wrong mindset then surely when they experience defeat they will not accept it and will continue to play to find victory as well as to cover the defeat in the previous time. I think this is the beginning of the real addiction, as you said in such conditions it is very likely that they will return to deposit or deposit money to play again specifically to find victory, even though it is clear that this is only about luck, so no matter how long it takes or even until their money runs out if luck is not on their side then they will continue to lose.

This condition is very feared, so to be honest I also often remind or advise some of my colleagues to gamble reasonably, or that means do not overdo it and do not be too serious in pursuit of victory because it is uncertain and defeat will definitely be more than victory. The fact is that only a few people can place strong limits when they are in such conditions.

But in my opinion, it is very difficult to think that gambling is just for fun. We definitely hope to get a big win or jackpot when we gamble. Of course, financial control is very important. I have a friend who is often reckless, he can spend his entire salary in one night gambling on his favorite gambling site. Maybe he dared to do that because he was still single and didn't have the burden of children and a wife. But I think spending our entire salary in one night is stupid

Of course setting limits on yourself when gambling is very difficult. Emotions often cannot be compromised. However, we must have limits if we don't want to go bankrupt because of gambling

It is very difficult if the person initially comes to look for victory or income and then they have to change their mindset and think that this is just an activity for fun, obviously this is not easy to change, like those who are addicted and cannot miss a day not to gamble because of the opportunities that are clearly uncertain. But I say that if those who come from the first time already know everything that is in gambling, especially with the risks, there will be some who really think that this is an activity for fun. They know what bad impact they will feel if they take gambling too seriously so they always think it's better to prevent it.

Self-control is important and like it is very mandatory to apply when you are gambling, honestly quite sad when you see your friend who is willing to spend all his salary from work just to be allocated to gambling, it's not healthy at all. Will you be able to get an even bigger win with big capital? NO, this is just an activity that is limited to luck, nothing more than that. Even if you bring a large amount of capital, it will not matter at all if you are not lucky. Of course it's stupid and I hope your friend can recover from his ridiculous mindset soon.
659  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: October 09, 2023, 04:00:08 PM
We saw Bitcoin price was stable at 30k USD few weeks back and then there is a dip triggered due to some news. Bitcoin in that DIP went down from 30k to 25k and that's the time where your nerves as a HODLER are tested. Its easy to say to HODL but not many can see there investment going down. That DIP is now over and Bitcoin price is moving up towards 30k again. If you have bought Bitcoin when it was down then surely you are getting some profit at the moment. Accumulating more when Bitcoin is down is more beneficial then when its up.

For sure, it seems that the dip from $30k to $25k is over.. but not easy to say with certainty.. since we are currently in the middle of the range.. so no one can really say for sure that the dip is over.. and that $25k support might not be broken to the downside.

It is hard to bet either way, even though sometimes people act as if they know, and then they tell you "I told you so," after the fact... but I doubt that they really know with any level of confidence that maybe at best might get into the 60% to 70% arena before all the events end up playing out. 

Sure, from time to time, there are some price set ups that make it seem more likely of one price direction or another in the short-term, but I doubt that we are currently in one of those kinds of a set up.

Right, I quite agree with your assumption, and honestly I would also say the same thing, which seems to be true that the price decline to the $25k area is over, I also won't say that this is certain but it is still speculation and I say it according to the predictions that I know, the last time I saw the price of $25k was at the beginning of September yesterday when the price was in a sideways phase and was looking for indications for the next price formation. One resistance in the previous time has been successfully broken and if we look at the formation of new support afterwards it is much higher than the previous support, and I see the latest support in the short term is in the area or price of $ 26,200.
So in my view just looking at the formation of this trend confirmation is enough to conclude that bullish has begun to dominate and of course that means for the short term or even the next few months the price will not return to touch the price of $ 25k.

It's true like there are some people who say they like to know everything when in fact it is very difficult to fully predict, and maybe even if it can be only a few percent accurate. Honestly in this matter I would not really advise people to follow my way, because obviously everyone's perspective must be different in terms of analysis, and well maybe I'll just try it myself because indirectly it's like testing my own abilities to what extent. And well the point is there will always be a reason why prices can move, or I mean the reason why prices can lead there, and I'm always learning to improve my knowledge in order to find out that reason.
660  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: It's safe to say - gambling is a guy thing. on: October 09, 2023, 02:22:28 PM

In earlier times, drinking and smoking were a guy thing, riding or racing was a guy thing, even sports were a guy thing, all financial responsibility was a guy thing, and so on. All these things change eventually, and we learned the word gender equality. Now you understand why this question is really irrelevant and inappropriate. So please stop this male-dominating attitude and be an open-minded individual. Just see a person as a person and cut that gender, race, religion, and all factors, and then you can see a human being and respect every human. It is just as simple as that.
Well, I will have to say that you indeed have a good point, the world have changed and still changing rapidly, maybe several years ago, we would have simply said that gambling is for men or guys alone, but today, this is no longer the case, gambling have become a general activity that knows no man or woman, any gender can engage in gambling without any form of restrictions, as long as the individual, be he or she, is comfortable and find pleasure in gambling.

This is very reasonable and I think it is in accordance with the facts that have occurred, which basically initially gambling was only for men, or I mean on average most of those who played were men, and I say that before gambling was as popular as it is now. And nowadays gambling is like an activity that seems to be common, people seem to think that this activity is normal, it is none other than that because gambling has reached more and more people through the development of this era. I agree, and honestly for now I would not say that gambling is only men, but maybe the number of female and male gamblers is now balanced if measured, I was also quite surprised when I saw some of my female friends who turned out that they also gambled and there was one of them who fell down to leave a lot of debt, honestly I could not imagine that the impact of gambling was this hard, not seeing men or women, there are all the same, gender does not determine whether the person is a gambler or not.

In the olden days, it was actually a taboo for a woman to gamble in most communities and societies around the world, but todays, things have changed in most of this places, development and civilization have changed the narrative or stigmatization of women in gambling, and this i hope to continue even into the future.

Of course, there are many factors that influence and also become the reason why they, especially women, participate in gambling, a sense of interest is of course the main reason for them because of the opportunity to win, and also in my opinion the factor of their economic weakness is also very likely to be the reason. Those who do not know fully about the risks in gambling will definitely think that maybe gambling is a solution to multiply the money they bring.
