Of course you have choices, but the most difficult part is making the right choice in life. And as you put down in your example even choosing a partner in life could be gambling as well because definitely you don't know what will the future if you marry someone. But as @Get-Paid.com have said, choosing a spouse is a long process, you can go on a date and learn the person very well before deciding to settle down, so its a calculate risk both on your part. Its not like gambling wherein you will choose them like you are simply betting in a roulette or pushing play in a slot machine, its totally different.
Well said. It's just impossible to compare a slot machine to a wife (god forbid, I say slot with 'o' no pun intended haha). Gambling is about making quick money --> for the house, not for the average Joe. It was, is, and has been like that for decades. |

choose a wise husband from a bunch of boys is a gambling
choose a school to study is a gambling
choose a boss to work with is a gambling
Choosing a spouse is not something most people do in 10 seconds or minutes, they dedicate time and energy to it. Choosing a school - yes, it's a little bit more risky, but most parents tend to read and hear reviews and in the worse case they can always change their decision later on. Choosing a boos is similar to school, in our era changing a job has become something extremely normal. You can't however change your bet once you choose red in the roulette or under 215.5 in a basketball game, or choosing wrongly the losing team. In gambling once you gave away the money - poof, it's gone, you cannot consider your choices anymore, you cannot regret, you cannot undo what you did except for taking a new bet. Yes, if you bet on over 199.5 and the game hasn't started - you can place an opposite bet if you don't like what you did, but then you would have to pay a minimum of 5% (if not 10%-20%) aka "vig" on these bets, before the game has even started. All in all, When you place a bet and gamble you don't improve your life. Choosing a spouse - can improve your life. Choosing a school - can improve your life. Choosing a boss - can improve your life. How's choosing RED in the Roulette going to improve your life? How's betting on over XXX points or under going to make you a better person or pave your way in your life? Want to treat it as a drop of adrenaline and rush? You can, but it is no different than drugs. And I have nothing against good drugs, Cannabis can cure many types of cancer, but this is when you take it properly, not as a "joint" or anything ... and yes, it's okay not to go always by the book in life, it's okay to "have fun" (although I cannot see anything fun in gambling) - but it's definitely not going to make you a better person. |

But if people have an selfcontrol while playing in gambling because he/ she play for fun not to got profits they huge of loses
Okay, I feel like a ghost in this thread or either people are naive and stupid.
Let me ITERATE once again - WHEN IT COMES TO GAMBLING - PEOPLE HAVE NO SELFCONTROL. You are talking about SELFCONTROL which doesn't coincide with the term GAMBLING! Can you please stop blaming the gambler and realize it's the system that it's built like that? Do you have any idea how many millions casino owners and sportsbook owners take from gambling? This is how the system is built! It's designed for you to lose your SELFCONTROL!
Please stop, just stop blaming the gambler for not having SELFCONTROL, it doesn't matter when it comes to gambling, because any gambler would lose his SELFCONTROL one way or another. Okay?! Now can you please stop, just stop mentioning that SELFCONTROL was the problem here?!?! |

Blatantly blaming gambling for every bad thing, is not correct! If gambling wasn't exist it wouldn't happen, right? People who are addicted to smoking - are they the ones to blame for being in that state, or is it the tobacco companies that suffer all the criticism? Gambling is no different. If these things wouldn't be on the table then no one would have been affected. |

Btw can you tell me which casino promise you that you'll become rich if you gamble? None of them, they clearly say: Gamble for fun. If you can't have fun from it, then go away. You may ask they write something and do another thing (write not to gamble for profit but offer amazing promotions). There are rich people too, for those 1000$ is nothing to lose, they may try their luck in such promotions, just to prove that they are best or any other reasons. Gambling is optional, so these dramatic stories doesn't change anything. But yeah, it's very sad that man lost so much, at leasy he learnt from this lesson.
The casinos say what they have to say because of regulation and not because they want to say it. And it still doesn't change the fact their games are designed to make you addicted. |

i am like $14000 in debt because of gambling addiction
Is it sports betting or casinos if it's okay to ask? Have you self-excluded yourself from whichever website that took your money? |

That guy who was lucky enough to win $500,000 doesn't have an idea how to spend it. No no no, Once again - I would like to iterate - the gambling industry is designed in a way that you would lose control!And now you're making a terrible comparison: Look at those successful businessman, when they gained profits from their investment, they take away a portion of the profits and think where they can use it to earn more and a portion will be saved. Gamblers should think this way too. Separate the profits from the capital.
The fruit of labor cannot be compared to gambling! It will never be the same, ever!! You can even tell me there is a guy named Ashley Revell: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashley_RevellYou can watch on YouTube his $100k bet on a Roulette, he was predicted to lose it all but eventually used the money to start a business but take a look in Wikipedia: "Revell used his winnings to set up an online poker company called Poker UTD, which later went out of business in 2012." You would always lose the gambling money, one way or another, it's a losing proposition. You cannot ever compare gambling winnings to money that was made through hard labor ... being Steve Jobs and making millions is not the same as gambling and winning the money. BUT - take this into consideration: NBA Players play some games in a year and make millions - some of them fall into gambling addiction, because they get a lot of money and their games are full of adrenaline and rush .... When you work on a project, be it Facebook, Apple, Microsoft or just being a Small Business Owner - you appreciate the money that you work hard for. When you gamble or use lots of adrenaline and rush - you are at a huge risk of losing it all, and that's what happens to lottery winners as well. |

Limit and contentment! Those are two thing a lot of gamblers do not understand they should imbibe as a culture.
I would say it again. The gambling industry and the games in gambling are designed in a way that you would lose control, lose your limits and lose your contentment. That's how they are built. When you put the blame on the gambler and not on the system itself you're doing no justice with the victims, and they are victims here, they are not the ones that should be blamed. If we had no gambling in the world - then we wouldn't have this happening in the first place, isn't it? Now I'm not saying you should shut down all gambling websites, casinos and quarantine Las Vegas - I'm just saying this is the world how it is today, and we need to learn to live with it i.e. it's better that you never win millions in 2 seconds because it's not going to really make you happy in life. |

It is different rules. It is not saying that the OP can give multiple bumps in one day. This is forbidden. What the rule says is that only the OP can write multiple posts in a row. If it goes longer than 24 hours between posts.
Okay, and that's what we did, and what you're saying is NOT necessarily right and is open for interpretation!! (why would the OP not be allowed to give updates in less than 24 hours? A store has 50% discount on shoes, 5 hours later - they have 40% discount on laptops - they are not allowed to announce it and must wait 24 hours?!), but seriously - why ruin this thread with all this nonsense? What is this - lawyers discussing every clause in the forum rules now?!We are promoting the business according to the rules and you have nothing constructive to say, so enough is enough. This thread is now useless, we would start a new one soon because you have ruined this thread already. |

If by "betting on yourself" you mean investing time and money in your further education, I absolutely agree with you. The thing is that without proper education it's impossible to truly enjoy your life even if you are extremely wealthy, and there are many examples of rich people being very unhappy and even committing suicides. Thinking that the only thing you need to be happy is a lot of money is a big mistake, which, however, all of us make at one point or another.
Yes, we only live once, we have such a short time to live and so much to achieve, that if you'd look at it that way you won't want to gamble (hopefully!) |

Hi there,
Can you please explain what is "Reaudit Twitter"?
We are 100% ignorant in regards to these terms (which seem a little bit vague).
Any chance you can elaborate what exactly are you guys offering?

I am too lazy to find the link but there is a similiar story to a Redditor who lost 200 ( or 300 ) BTC back in February 2018 after the ATH took place.
I think he made like 1 BTC by gambling thru Poker, and the rest he sent to Bitmex, and managed to turn it into 200BTC and then basically in 1 or 2 months, emotions took over and he lost it all.
The issue here is due to human greed and fear. Basically nobody likes to lose money and the reason why he lost so much was because if I recall, he lost 50 BTC in one trade, and then decided to trade until he got that 50 BTC back but ended up losing another 50 BTC, and then the same thing kept happening over and over again until his entire account was depleted.
The issue is not just human greed and fear. How many lottery winners who won the jackpot truly enjoyed their lives after the winnings?! What goes around comes around - what comes so easy would leave very easily likewise. That's our human nature, and that's how it all works ... the best bet you can ever have is betting on yourself, there isn't any better alternative to it. |

I rarely gamble, and when I do, I set a limit and never go over it. To me, it's just for entertainment. If I win big, I cash out and leave.
How long have you been doing it this way? No one is "immune" from falling into the trap, and once it happens it could ruin people's lives, big time. |

I agree with the OP said, we never get rich from gambling, and this is for the most people in out there because we never have a big chance to make winning money from gambling. Perhaps, we can win big money and we are tempted to continue playing gambling because we want to win more money and this is greediness that will ruin our lives in the next second. We need to remember that we cannot win in every round but we can win small money, and if somehow, we can win big money then we need to leave the gambling places as soon as possible and don't even think about the win in the next round.
Well said maydna. The best way to "leave the gambling place" is done via: 1) Self-Exclusion. 2) Handing over control over your finances. 3) Using additional barriers to avoid gambling such as limiting cards, bank accounts, using apps such as GamBan and more. Some people claim that GA helps as well, personally I would find it difficult to agree with that ... the success rates of GA are very low, most people don't stop gambling because of GA, but many do stop when they "arrest" their addiction by placing many barriers around it. Still, a huge win is not a ticket for happiness, making $500,000 in 10 seconds is not the same as making it in several years from a startup or a business that you work hard for - you would appreciate the fruit of labor much more than something that comes so easy into your hands. |

Stuck for a day, Thanks!
We tried to use ViaBTC ( https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/) to accelerate these for you but they produced an error message "Transaction fee is too low". |
