I generally prefer football and very rarely basketball for sports betting. For this reason, the periods when I gamble intensively are the periods when the league is actively continuing and apart from this period I don't prefer to bet on a sport I don't know or on teams I don't know. As someone who sometimes prefers to gamble with slots or similar games, I mostly prefer slots or similar games when I cannot bet on sports.

As someone who follows football and basketball matches, my focus on making money is usually on sports betting but I do this with the awareness that gambling is for fun. Slots and similar games are an optional gambling choice that I prefer only for entertainment purposes and sometimes I can make myself happy with a good win.

Gambling too much may of course be reason enough to claim some kind of addiction but I also think that to talk about a serious gambling addiction a person must be unable to control himself/herself and lose all his/her money gambling. For example, let's assume that there are individuals A and B;

Person A gambles regularly 5 days a week in a way that doesn't affect his budget negatively but he/she doesn't go beyond the budget he/she plans to use for gambling. Person B, on the other hand, plays one-time bets or high stakes games whenever possible with all the money he/she can find. In this case, we can say that it is a habit and fun for person A to gamble regularly by controlling himself/herself but person B is addicted because he/she gambles with all his/her money without being able to control himself/herself. We can also think like this;

Person A has a monthly income of 1.000 units and this person regularly gambles with 20% of his monthly income using the minimum bet amount. Person B also has a monthly income of 1.000 units and this person takes big risks by making one-time bets with all his/her income. In this case, while it would be a mistake to call person A as addicted, it would be correct to call person B addicted.

In other words, there will be a big difference between calling someone who gambles 100 games with each bet being 1 unit a gambling addict and calling someone who gambles 100 units in a single bet a gambling addict.

I almost never check it because when I create a cryptocurrency wallet I save the seed phrase in several different places and in my notebook. Although I am someone who rarely checks the seed phrases because they never change, I make sure to check my backup files at regular intervals because I have a wallet with a balance in it that I have lost access to before. Yes, this is a bad situation but I had such an experience with the inexperience of the period when I first started to be interested in cryptocurrencies. For this reason, nowadays I want to at least check my file backups and notebook regularly to make sure that I have nothing missing.

Theoretically, in order for a trader to be successful, he/she must have a good knowledge of technical analysis, capital control and risk control. Additionally, learning to set goals for each trade and being able to act in line with these goals are definitely very important factors.

Emotionally, in order for a trader to be successful, he/she must know that it is impossible to always win in the financial markets, that only the positive scenario shouldn't be considered for each transaction, that he/she shouldn't establish an emotional bond with his/her transactions and that he/she shouldn't act by succumbing to his/her emotions. Especially in cryptocurrency markets controlling one's own emotions is at least as important as knowing technical analysis because emotions generally cause more mistakes to be made in volatile markets.

Moreover, both theoretically and emotionally, a trader must not be greedy in order to be successful. A greedy trader may miss the trading levels based on technical analysis and act more emotionally due to his ambition to earn more. For this reason, one should never trade greedily, especially in volatile markets such as cryptocurrency markets.

As someone who earns profit with my existing capital in both long-term, medium-term and short-term, I make future investments, trade that will remain open for a few days and short-term trades. For the long-term process, I generally add as much as possible to my investment basket from the purchase points I determine using technical analysis and research the projects in which I will invest (except Bitcoin and Ethereum) in detail. For medium and short term transactions I prefer to buy and sell using low leverage. For these transactions, I prefer to use some indicators and buy-sell points I obtained through technical analysis.

Since I use a large portion of my budget for my long-term investments I generally determine my purchase levels using technical analysis and of course I make profits by using this technical analysis for my short and medium-term trades in a shorter time period.

To be frank, I accept that one can have success in gambling but I don't accept that one can have success on a regular basis. The main reason for this is that gambling is literally based on luck. Of course, it is possible to classify gambling games and types within themselves and if this classification is made it is also possible to state that some types aren't entirely based on luck.

For example, a gambler may consistently earn profits by choosing sports betting but unless this is sustained it wouldn't be right to call this a success. Although sports betting is a type of gambling that requires knowledge and experience, I think that regular success will not be achieved because it is a type that is partially based on luck.

Since slots, plinko, dice rolling and similar gambling games are based entirely on luck it isn't possible to earn a regular income in such games and for this reason I don't think that any gambler can achieve regular success in such games.

In summary, although the luck factor varies depending on the type of gambling I don't think that a gambler will earn a regular income and therefore be successful in gambling since a little bit of luck is required in all kinds of gambling games.

The reason is actually quite simple. Someone who has more money can place higher bets and also gamble more. For example, a rich person can win 10 free spins on the simplest slot game in a day but a poor person will win less than that. The reason is that the rich person plays more games because he/she has more money.

On the other hand, if we talk about earnings based on amount, it is possible to encounter a similar situation. For example, let's say a sports bet results in a 2x win. Let's say the rich person who won this bet placed this bet with 1,000 units of money and the poor person placed this bet with 100 units of money. In this case, the rich person will get a net gain of 1,000 units and the poor person will get a net gain of 100 units. So, the simplest answer to the question would be exactly "money" or "budget".

In short, the more bread the more meatballs.

As someone who has lost money in futures both in the past and recently, I would like to add my own experiences and I hope it will be useful for both you and everyone else.

First of all, it is very important to use stop loss for every transaction and this stop loss level should be determined by technical analysis. In addition, it is necessary to make very careful calculations when using stop loss in high leverage transactions because due to high leverage a stop loss order placed at a very close price may actually amount to 50-60% of the position amount. For this reason, it would be beneficial to analyze the stop loss point well and act carefully in order not to become a victim of a needle in a possible fluctuation.

I strongly recommend that friends with a capital amount of three digits use a maximum of 10 times leverage, friends with a capital amount of four digits use a maximum of 5 times leverage, and friends with a capital amount of five digits use a maximum of 3 times leverage. A high leverage amount not only causes your capital to melt away but also significantly increases the cost of your stop loss order at a very close price.

It would also be beneficial to take profits gradually because depending on the leverage ratio very rapid and serious changes occur in the amount of gain or loss in margin transactions. Therefore, closing the position in three or four moves and taking profits at certain price levels will definitely be a very good option.

On the other hand, it is necessary to avoid opening a transaction just for the sake of it. It is important to remember that in leveraged transactions we increase the risk rate with the leverage amount. In other words, opening a transaction for the purpose of having an open transaction under such risky conditions will only cause you to be more affected by possible losses.

I would like to remind you again, HIGH LEVERAGE SHOULD NOT BE USED!

That's all I can say for now, I hope it was useful. Oh, and I would like to remind you that what I wrote is not information I read or heard from a few places but rather the experiences I gained by confirming it with my own transactions and I lost a five-digit amount of money in dollars to turn these into my own experience.

All social media platforms that we use free of charge earn money through advertising revenues and unfortunately the users become an asset of these platforms in order to benefit from these services for free. Not only social media applications but almost all applications&games we install on our devices require microphone, camera, photo archive and similar access in order to provide the best advertising experience. Of course, the advertising experience I'm talking about here is for advertisers, not for us as users.

Although it is said that data security is important today and we don't want our data to be used in many applications. The contracts we sign without reading, the permissions we give to applications to access our device after installing them and the fact that we allow applications to track us are actually the price we pay to benefit from that service. And, unfortunately, we have to accept all this as mandatory in order to use these applications for free.

Unfortunately, this will be the case as long as advertising revenue continues to be so important for the survival of these applications. Even though we think we use these applications for free, unfortunately we pay a fee for using our own information and we will continue to do so.

Hello dear Little Mouse,

I'm confirming that I received my payment.

Thank you so much for Coins.Game and you.

I definitely don't pay for cryptocurrency trading signals and I don't plan to do so. Generally, experienced traders don't need such services and know that many trading signal providers don't send the correct signals. To comment on my own behalf as an experienced trader, I definitely don't use buy-sell signals and don't recommend using them because such signals are generally not very accurate.

I also think that it is more productive to constantly do research and gain experience with your own decisions rather than aiming to make money with such trading signals. Learning to fish instead of getting fish from someone else will make more sense in the long term and will also help you earn regular income.

Finally, since I have not preferred or used trading signals since the first day I started trading cryptocurrencies, unfortunately, I don't have any information about their prices.

Kesinlikle çok haklısın dostum, ülkeye yatırımın gelmeme sebeplerinden en büyüğü ekonomi değil çünkü kötü ekonomik koşulları bulunan bir ülkede senin de belirttiğin gibi kara parayı kullanmak oldukça kolaydır. Günümüz koşullarında Türkiye her ne kadar kara para için cennet gibi görünüyor olsa da maalesef saçma sapan uygulanan sermaye kontrolleri sebebi ile hem yatırımcı korkar oldu hem de kirli paranın akışını sağlamak için bile kimse Türkiye'yi tercih etmez oldu. Maalesef, o kadar saçma sapan ülke birçok firma tarafından yatırım almaya devam ederken Türkiye'nin tercih edilmeme sebepleri de bunlara rahat bir şekilde bağlanabiliyor. Hatta, bırakalım yatırımı kirli parasını bile aklamak veya harcamak için Türkiye'yi tercih eden kişi sayısı maalesef bir elin parmaklarını geçmez oldu. Tabii, durum bu şekilde olunca da ülke hazinesine para girmesi için tek kalan yöntem vergi toplamak oldu ve vergi cenneti Türkiye maalesef her şey için bir vergi çıkartarak kazanç elde etmek zorunda kaldı.

Yes, to give an example, especially from the many people who gamble and trade cryptocurrency here, many of us have cryptocurencies that we can instantly use for gambling. Similar risk management between gambling and cryptocurrency trading is the efficient use of the available budget, spending it gradually and using a certain strategy. That is, there are common aspects of risk management for both but risk management is applied slightly differently for both. Just as you mentioned, a person who trades cryptocurrency doesn't transfer their current balance to their wallet in case they loses money while someone who gambles withdraws all their money and transfers it to their wallet if they don't lose all their money because they thinks they will have bad luck that day.

Although deposits to cryptocurrency-based online gambling services are generally not as diverse as cryptocurrency exchanges, I don't think there are limited deposit opportunities due to the diversity.

Gambling addiction is a condition that usually occurs not after a win but after a high loss or losing several times in a row on a regular basis. In particular, in the two cases I mentioned the gambler generally begins to gamble more with the ambition of regaining the money he/she lost and as the loss increases the level of addiction increases accordingly.

We can see that especially people who make large winnings rarely become addicted to gambling because many gamblers don't spend it on gambling again when they make a large profitable profit. Of course, in some cases people who earn high amounts of money continue to gamble, thinking that it is that easy to earn money and unfortunately they may become addicted to gambling.

In addition to these two situations, we can see that gambling addiction occurs in some people with the ambition to make money. A person starts gambling with the aim of making a lot of money easily and becomes addicted to gambling due to his/her greed for profit.

Marjin işlemlerde özellikle hem geçmişte hem de yakın zaman içerisinde para kaybetmiş birisi olarak ben de kendi tecrübelerimi eklemek istiyorum, umarım herkes için faydalı olur.

Öncelikle, kesinlikle her işlem için stop loss kullanmak oldukça önemli ve bu stop loss seviyesinin teknik analiz ile belirlenmesi gerekmektedir. Ayrıca, yüksek kaldıraçlı işlemlerde stop loss kullanırken çok iyi hesap yapmak gerekmektedir çünkü yüksek kaldıraç sebebi ile çok yakın fiyata konulacak bir stop loss emri aslında pozisyon tutarının %50-60 gibi bir miktarına denk gelebilmektedir. Bu sebeple, stop loss noktasını iyi analiz etmek ve olası bir hareketlilikte bir iğne kurbanı olmamak için dikkatli hareket etmekte fayda olacaktır.

Sermaye tutarı üç haneli olan arkadaşların maksimum 10 kat kaldıraç, dört haneli olan arkadaşların maksimum 5 kat kaldıraç ve beş haneli olan arkadaşların ise maksimum 3 kat kaldıraç kullanmasını şiddetle öneriyorum. Yüksek kaldıraç tutarı hem sermayenizin erimesine sebep olmakta hem de çok yakın fiyattaki stop loss emrinizin maliyetini çok ciddi oranda yükseltmektedir.

Kademeli olarak kâr almakta da fayda olacaktır çünkü yine kaldıraç oranına bağlı olarak marjin işlemlerinde kazanç veya kayıp tutarında çok hızlı ve ciddi değişimler meydana gelmektedir. Bu sebeple, üç veya dört hamle ile pozisyonu kapatmak ve belirli fiyat seviyelerinden kâr almak kesinlikle çok iyi bir seçenek olacaktır.

Bir diğer yandan, işlem olsun diye işlem açmaktan da kaçınmak gerekmektedir. Unutmamak gereklidir ki kaldıraçlı işlemlerde kaldıraç tutarı ile risk oranını da artırmaktayız. Yani, böylesine riskli koşullarda açık işlem olması amacı ile işlem açmak sadece olası zararlardan daha fazla etkilenmeye sebep olacaktır.

Tekrar hatırlatmak istiyorum, YÜKSEK KALDIRAÇ KULLANILMAMALIDIR!

Şu an için aklıma gelenler bu kadar, umarım ki en ufak faydasını bile gören olacaktır. Ha, bir de şunu hatırlatmak istiyorum ki bu yazdıklarım birkaç yerden okuduğum veya duyduğum bilgiler değil tamamen kendi işlemlerim ile teyit ederek edindiğim tecrübelerdir ve bunları kendi tecrübeme çevirebilmek için beş haneli tutarda dolar bazında para kaybettim.

Fiyatın 38.000 USD seviyesine ulaşması ve sonrasında bir patlama olmaması aslında bazı fiyat seviyeleri için herkes tarafından ''şöyle olabilir, böyle olabilir'' algılarının da sürekli olarak çürümesine yardımcı oluyor. En azından takip ettiğim birkaç altcoin ciddi anlamda güzel hareketlenmeler yaşadı ve bazıları ise maalesef bahsettiğin gibi ölü numarası yaparcasına hareket etmemekte maalesef ısrarcı olmuş durumda. Kasım, Aralık ve Ocak ayları ise evet, daha önceki senelerde Bitcoin'in pek iyi performans gösteremediği aylar olarak biliniyordu. Hatta, bundan önceki 3 yıl boyunca yaşanan düşüşler sebebi ile ''Kriptoda black friday fırsatları!'' hikayelerini paylaştığımı hatırlıyorum.

Bir diğer yandan, eğer ki Bitcoin ETF'leri kabul edilmez ise benim de beklentim kötü piyasa koşullarının oluşacağı ve maalesef yine uzun bir süre fiyat gerilemesi veya yatay hareket takip edeceğimiz bir dönemin başlaması yönünde olacaktır. Olası bir onay durumunda ise ilk aşamada fiyatın yukarı yönlü hareket edeceğini düşünüyorum fakat günümüz fiyatlarının biraz da bu onay fiyatlanması olmasından kaynaklı olarak onay haberi sonrasında birkaç katlık bir artış olmasını beklemiyorum. Tabii, bu senaryo için belirttiğin gibi birileri tarafından dava açılmaması da oldukça önemli.

The easiest, simplest and free method to get rid of gambling addiction is to gain awareness and chat about this addiction with close friends or family. Yes, it is very difficult to get rid of gambling addiction but realizing that a person constantly loses money in gambling and that his/her psychology is negatively affected by this situation is a very serious factor in getting rid of this addiction. In addition, chatting with a close friend or family member about this addiction will be a free therapy and will help the gambling addicted individual gamble less and get rid of this addiction if the person chatting with isn't addicted to gambling.

On the other hand, if a gambling addict loses money in gambling, thinking about the activities he/she can do or the products and services he/she can buy with this money is a factor that can help reduce gambling addiction even though it is a small factor. The reason for this is due to the regret that occurs after individuals who are addicted to gambling postpone purchasing some of their needs in order to gamble more.

In summary, I think that if an individual addicted to gambling gains awareness, chats with close friends or family members about this addiction and thinks about what he/she can do with the money he/she loses in gambling, his/her gambling addiction will gradually decrease and after a certain period of time he/she will completely eliminate it.

No, because I started gambling voluntarily and I have never gambled addicted to it except for my addiction which didn't have a serious impact on me when I first started. Since my gambling addiction only occurred while I was a high school student and I didn't have much money during the periods I mentioned, I didn't lose any serious money. For this reason, I didn't experience any regret or feeling of blaming anyone during the time I was addicted to gambling. Nowadays, I don't have any regrets or any hatred, resentment or similar feelings towards anyone for getting me used to gambling because I gamble only for fun. I think this will continue in the coming years because I haven't had a gambling addiction for a very long time and I don't think I will based on my current playing pattern.

Unfortunately, this is one of the biggest disadvantages of the banking system. There is no exact physical equivalent of the value that occurs due to the evaluation of money through various methods. In fact, more than 10-20% of the money in banks has no physical equivalent. Moreover, although money continues to be printed non-stop today unfortunately the rates are like this. The first information given in economics courses already proves this;

''If all individuals wanted to withdraw their deposits from their bank accounts at the same time, banks wouldn't be able to afford this and would even be pushed to the brink of bankruptcy.''

You are so right, I totally agree. In particular, a group of traders say that in general you don't lose money unless you sell assets whose prices have fallen. Although this seems logical, unfortunately it isn't a correct strategy because if the value of a financial asset has fallen below the purchase level, it means that the basket has shrunk and that transaction is at a loss.

Comparing Bitcoin with other cryptocurrencies is of course correct but the point here is to ensure good risk management and invest depending on risk threshold. For example, an investor with a low risk threshold may choose only the two leading cryptocurrencies of the market such as Bitcoin and Ethereum to trade safely but an investor with a higher risk threshold will be able to increase his/her profit rate in direct proportion to the risk rate by choosing other altcoins. So, at this point I think the topic is related to risk management and risk threshold because every investment made has its own risks.

For example, unless there is an abnormal situation in the cryptocurrency markets, it is very likely that Bitcoin will continue its continuity but although it is very unlikely there is a possibility that this continuity may not be achieved in the future. This can be similarly exemplified in stocks. The world's largest companies or a company with a very low probability of going bankrupt may declare bankruptcy after a few years. In other words, risk is inherent in every investment in every sense but the investor determines the rate of this risk with his own decisions depending on his/her risk threshold.
