Will you leave gambling if your future wife/husband tells you to do this ?
In my case I am not that kind of people who were addicted with gambling. I do gambling in some times for the entertainment purpose. So in my case it would be that my wife is more important to me than gambling.  I will ask her why she is asking to stop this gambling. Then if her words seem logical to me, then I will not increase my words and if it does not seem logical, I will make some arguments. And even If she still say to stop playing it, then I'll stop it, I mean try to stop it.  Grin
Like many, I will also say that why would he or she tell you to stop gambling?  It will mostly be the case of those who are more addicted to gambling and it is causing their financial crisis and family problems. Even then if there is no such reason if he or she say to stop you this, then I think it's better to let it go because gambling is not bigger than family.
Wont really be that a problem if you arent that into gambling on which you would really be just that easily be able to deal with if ever your wife soon to be will really be making out such request or saying that you should quit but they wont really be saying things unless you have done it on which it is really just totally that have sense. lol. If we do put up on some assumptions that we are really that indeed doing gambling and they would really be asking about quitting or stopping then it would boil down in your own choice whether you would really be that quitting for your good or really love that still continue and would put up the risks on the relationship that you are into. Some could really just do and some cant really just take up the risks.

Some people might not really that much that letting other people do really involved on what are the things that they are doing but
there are ones who would really be doing everything for love and would really be sacrificing anything or losing everything for it.
It does really actually depend.
1302  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Referral bonuses are waste of time on: October 22, 2023, 03:55:21 PM
~snip~
You wouldn't really be that so dumb on not to notice out with those kind of offerings specially if you've been into referral hunting or affiliation on which you would be most likely be able to know
on where those bonuses will really be ranging and if its something that go past beyond those numbers in huge gaps or simply that too good to be true then its impossible that you wont really be having that kind of suspicious approach towards it on which we do know that everything that do really looks too good be true then it is likely to be a scam. You wont really be that so dumb on not to notice about those offerings if ever a certain casino would really be proclaiming something like this.

Its true that referral bonuses arent something that you should really be putting that focus on because the amounts you would really be able to get will really be just that peanuts
not unless if you do get those a couple or whale players do play under or sign on your link then that would really be giving out some good numbers but not something
big on which it is really just that normal that its not something significant.
Especially in the area of online gambling, you have to be a little... let's say, "questioning" about those outrageous, out-of-this-world offerings. Come on, really! If you've played the game and been looking for affiliates and referrals, you would really, truly know the range in which those bonuses normally fall. In addition, if something seems too good to be true, you already said it! It's most likely a con. Probably!

referrer rewards? They are very, very small peanuts. Unless, of course, you manage to convince the whales, the major players, to use your link. You might notice some respectable statistics only then. But let's face it, it won't significantly alter your life. It simply isn't. Be very, very smart hence. And always, always be wary of those deals that seem too good to be true. Always
Just make yourself that be realistic and be wary on whats real and whats delusion because if you do stick into something which isnt really that could be attained or reach up then you would really be just fooling up yourself that you could be able to reach out such condition that you could really be able to take advantage or having that significant amount when it comes to referral earnings on which we know that it cant really be just that so simple even on inviting a single person to register under your link. Its always been challenging even getting your first referral or even touching up yourself on affiliate marketing even more.
1303  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never gamble in front of your kids. on: October 22, 2023, 03:41:04 PM

When it happens that they see something that we don't know, they will be curious about it, but if a parent explains it properly to the children, I think it will be planted in their minds that it is not good for children like them. .
We are just ordinary people, sometimes we can be careless and in the end our children see us playing something on our cell phones. When they ask, it's best to say that it's just a game that children shouldn't play because it will make them crazy or something scary for children. But it's best to immediately close the cell phone because if it continues to be played, the child will feel unsure that it is dangerous.

The point is to explain as you explain it correctly, slowly because only you know your child's character so your child can understand and only you know how to explain it correctly, that is something that is prohibited for minors, let alone children, there are many reasons. which might make more sense and could even make children not want to touch it.
Parenting could never be perfect on which case there are really moments on which you would really be able to make yourself that be missed out and letting your kids do able to see on what you are been involved into.Its really just that right that you should really be making them aware on what are the things you've been doing and telling about the risks. It could neither be effective or not but it would be always that best on making out those kind of advises and guidance considering that young minds are really that curious when it comes to things that they havent been able to encounter before.
When curiosity do kicks in then it would really be that hard for you to be able to stop your kids on hiding up something on what they would gonna do.

This is why it would really be always important that you should really be mindful when it comes to your actions because if you dont then they might really be
involving into something which you wont really be able to know until there would really be some results or outcomes that you might be able to notice earlier on.
1304  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's your nice hit to leave the casino. on: October 22, 2023, 02:59:01 PM
As a gambler, from when I leave the house down to the casino prior to getting there I normally project specific amount that should I probably hit am turning around to leave for home immediately. And am quite sure am ain't the only one who have for one  had this plan thought wrapped in his head, some persons might have too.

Just in case, what amount will be looking like a nice hit for you to leave a casino just immediately for maybe your first, second or third hit on the machine as you have just walked in?
Not at all because in my case, i dont really expect on something or do really be able to set those kind of limits that on whenever i do able to hit it up then i would completely be stopping on which it is unlikely to happen yet i didnt even experience in my whole gambling career or experience on hitting significant amounts on which its why that i do really just simply play on whatever balance i do have and dont expect on something and just totally enjoying the game.We do all wish for some nice hits.Who doesnt really want on going home on having some smile into their face on which having that
win? All of us, right?

Most of the time, i dont really care on how much i would really be losing on that night.If im lucky then i would end up on having win but most likely
i would really be that making myself greedy and spend it all once again on the time that i've been aiming for more winnings.
Greed is always there which in my case i do really end up on empty pocket most of the time but no worries as long i do only spend on the amount which i can afford to lose.
1305  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your doubt has no effect on gambling. on: October 22, 2023, 02:32:53 PM

Yesterday, I booked a bet, but, fine if difficult to stake, because I thought the game was going to be lost. But here it is I won the best. I stake the bet at $0.13, and I won $49 in total. I have gotten several winnings in the past week, but I would like to say that I didn't expect the game to play accordingly the way I predicted it. Why? Because I haven't bet on the same predictions throughout all the games before, but yesterday I did it. That's why I said I didn't expect to win the game.

A friend of mine always says, game way go cut, go cut and game way go enter, go enter, and yes that's true, this game was supposed to, play accordingly, and it finally did, even with my doubts.

However, I will say that even your doubt can not make a game that you are supposed to win lose, because gambling doesn't work with mindset, it works with the risk and not your fear. Why the risk is because if you don't risk your money in gamble, you will not lose or even win.
Doesnt matter if you have doubt or have not.
Doesnt matter if you do go on the way you do bet or listen up others advise
Doesnt matter if you would hesitate or would be dedicated/follow up your plan.

Everything would really be that random in result and since we are talking about gambling then everything could really happen but since we are speaking about
sports betting then having analysis or having those kind of strategic approach would really be that relevant or something that would really be necessary or something
that is really that useful but of course it would really be just that good on sports betting.

Having doubts or hesitance? its normal but it would always boils down into your own preference and not on other people. Entertainment and thrill
would really be lost if you wont really be that making yourself follow with your own choices.
1306  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Success or Fail? - Talking about Gambling as a major income on: October 21, 2023, 11:59:10 PM
I agree professional gamblers have a lot of knowledge and skills so they can avoid risks very easily and they are successful because no kind of greed works in them. A common mistake beginners make is their lack of discipline in gambling. Every good gambler knows that discipline in gambling is as important as a good strategy. A professional gambler has very little risk so can expect and recover from a losing streak. Professional traders also face losing streaks and it's important to reduce risk when your game is a bit off they can easily control everything.
They also have experience as well which in some cases will help them take rational decisions on picks they place bets on, some of them has also attained some level of discipline which the have gotten from experience over the years so combining all these together gives them the better edge the have over amateur and newbie gamblers at the casino.

Discipline is on factor that it's application cuts across all works of life and it's results is always best in the interest of the person who applies it in what ever they are doing but sadly some persons do not stay discipline enough and they end up blaming their losses on the casino thinking it resulted from manipulations. A disciplined gambler is usually profitable and almost never gets to addiction as compared to others who would just hit the casino at leisure and hope to win but mostly don't end up with a rather opposite results more often.

Executions of sets of strategy works on them as they are good in controlling every emotion that they've got each time they play the game, and like what both of you said, they are not exempted with losing streak but the best strategy for them is they know how pause and not to follow whatever emotions that keeps pushing them to play more.

Experienced dictates that they need to stop and not to follow that lust to try recovering back or trying to win larger than whatever they already got.
Discipline is the key
Control is relevant
Awareness of situation is important
Greed should be minimized


If you do have these things then you wont really be making yourself getting wrecked with gambling since you are that aware of the situation.
You would really be messing up yourself with gambling if you do have that kind of intent or goals towards gambling.Its never been that considered to be a
major source of income because it is really just that good for entertainment.

You would most likely or definitely fail if you would really be that pursuing this kind of target. Odds is always against us on winning but if you are lucky
then there might be some chance but we know that it doesnt last forever in speaking of luck factor.
1307  Other / Off-topic / Re: Keeping your gambling habit a secret. on: October 21, 2023, 11:49:33 PM
Those that keep their gambling habit a secret is it that they're not proud of what they are doing?.
I think it's not about that they are not proud of what they are doing but maybe they just don't feel exposing themselves publicly with gambling or they just need some privacy. It could be that they have justifiable reasons why they did that. Common reason is of family related issues second one is the nature of the specific gambling or there is an issue about regulations or legality.

People have different reasons a for doing what they do. And if I decide to keep to myself the fact that I gamble doesn’t mean I’m not proud or ashamed about it. I just choose not to tell anyone.
Some people value their privacy and don’t see the point in telling anyone else about what they do with their time and money. It’s that simple.
What does it matter if someone decides to keep their habits a secret? It really shouldn’t concern anyone what someone else chooses to do with their time and money.

Privacy is actually a thing of choice, because the same way we so much value this privacy while gambling for personal reasons, also it's occuring in some gamblers mind that they need to let other people know that they are gamblers, what they worth and how they have been gambling over years, this may actually means alot to them because they don't mind about their privacy if they are missing anything or anything wrong with what they are doing, what matters to us don't really matters to others.

An option that the gambler will handle whether he will allow someone to know about his gambling activities or to secretly enjoy his participation, though there are people who wouldn't like to broadcast their participation and they will not allow anyone to learn about their gambling activities, people who don't like hearing any criticism of how they are enjoying.

Just the same with your statement, it's your money that you are using to gamble. It's your option if you want to share your gambling activities.
There are people who are introverts on which they would really be that doesnt like on showing on the things that they are dealing with specially with gambling which we do really know that the community is really that highly frowned upon which they dont really like for them for other people to make out some bad impressions towards them and this is why they would decide to keep it secret.
How much more on telling or showing it into their wives? For sure it wont really be that something that they could easily be telling it because we know on how risky it would be
because if someone is involved with gambling then finances is really that at risks.

For people who dont care whether on their wives or other people insights or impressions towards them because its their money that had been used then
its not their business on what they should gonna do with their money because its our right on what we would really be dealing with because its our money
not theirs.
1308  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tips on staying responsible. on: October 21, 2023, 10:59:24 PM
Let's discuss the unique challenges of responsible gambling in the world of cryptocurrencies.

Crypto gambling can be fun, but it's important to keep our financial boundaries intact.

Share your tips and thoughts on staying responsible in this digital realm.

In the discussion thread,you need to convey some of the information,So the people will add their idea related to your information.But the gambling was created for the entertainment purpose,some people got the big win in the past history of the gambling.So the new coming gambler thought gambling as the money making platform like the crypto trading.The important factor in the gambling was the gambler should take the responsibility for their game and money involved in the gambling.The unique challenge of the crypto based gambling sites was using the gambling sites without the kyc will be the wish of many gamblers.
Gambling have alot to do with the fun more than it is on the other aspect just as many others have stated that having a limited control could help you to gamble responsibly, but then we have some other more interesting and active things that could make us responsible gamblers and one of such basis is the basis of having something that will distract you from gambling too much, that is having a space in between while gambling and at some point also making sure that you see a doctor each time you notice any gambling disorder.


We have to make up a bounce of rules that will guide us, because without those rules, you may not have the ability on your own to fight against such forces, that may want to drag you into addiction or some other irresponsible things.
Being responsible would really be entirely be depending on what kind or type of person you are on which there are ones who are really that having that good control and there are ones who cant really be able to take control of their greed on which they would really be continuing on playing because thats the only thing that they do have in mind.Self realizations would only kick in on the time that they would really be having that kind of situation on which it is really that related to finances on which on the time that they have seen that they dont have already enough funds or already compromising their life savings then this is the only time that they would stop but well the damage is there and things had been done already.

On the time that you have decided on taking up dealing with gambling then it would really be just that right that you should really be that responsible or else you would really be
ending up on losing so much money which it is really that supposed to be used on other important stuffs rather than on this one.
1309  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Low cost but effective solutions to gambling addiction on: October 21, 2023, 10:49:07 PM
So you are saying to move out of the place and since a person has no job, he just needs to leech his relatives while trying to avoid gambling addiction?  I think it is best to ask the local government for help.  Seek guidance if there is free treatment or rehabilitation for gambling addicts.  I think the government allocates funds for these kinds of victims and they have an establishement for rehabilitation for gambling addicts that offers free services to a minimum charges.
There are groups like that everywhere so there is not really any excuse for a person that is looking to leave their addictions behind to not get the help they need.

However the most difficult part is to convince those people they need help as one of the most common human reactions is to refuse to acknowledge any negative consequences because of their actions, and while understandable, this is a reaction that will do nothing but to delay receiving the help they desperately need.
Convincing someone to realize that they really need help is difficult because they have an ego that will not easily admit it. They may deny that they have a serious problem that must be resolved immediately. They also don't want to admit that it has made their lives experience difficulties that could be even greater. It is indeed difficult and requires hard work from people who try to convince them because after all, they will slowly see the reality so they are willing to accept it.
Specially that addicted gamblers are really that in verge of denial as always on which they would really be telling other people that they arent addicted but truly they are really that on severe case already.
People would really be just making out those realization or acceptance of mistakes on the time that they wont really be able to pull some funds into their pockets then this is where self realization do kicks in.Regrets do always come at the end on which it would really be just that normal that people would really be that wont be stopping with their gambling activity on the time that they do still have money that they could spend on gambling.They wont really be that stopping until they would really be finding themselves getting wrecked.

The cheapest way to stop gambling is to stop on point whether you had tending to involved in other activities or not it would really vary on someones control and discipline into their
minds on which we know that it cant really be that so easy on doing so just because you are really that fighting against your addiction which its always been that a challenge
or not all would really be able to do so.
1310  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake phishing on: October 21, 2023, 09:59:30 PM
Sorry guys but I don't know what you are still arguing about! It's obvious that OP has been scammed but it appeared that stake has nothing to do with this scam. What are you still arguing about?
I'm not going to read the replies on the past eight pages but am sure this topic doesn't deserve such attention
. OP should change the topic's title to make it more appropriate as stake has nothing to do with whatever happened to him.
The perpetrator didn't get anything out of it because the perpetrator just used the account to gamble so I don't know how they can report it as getting scammed but OP did definitely become a victim of a phishing attack and a much worse one because from what I've read, it looks like OP's attacker had control over his account remotely which is scary because that can mean that the hacker can probably access private files. I would probably be careful about my wording when it comes to this topic not deserving such attention, you're right that Stake doesn't have anything to do with it but I think that since they're the platform involved, maybe they can offer some help?

And to OP, I think that it's in your best interest to do this kind of post in Scam Accusations board and follow the format on reporting a scam or the incident and try to provide the screenshots that might help you regain that money if that can ever be a possibility.
How it did become to fit out on scam accusation? He had been phished and its not on the platform itself about having that mistake because its clear that its users mistake and error on why he had
let someone do able to access his account. Good thing that the hacker didnt able to get the cash or balance because of 2fa which is a good call but sadly the amount had been used on making up
some bet and ended up on a loss which it is really that something that frustration would really be extreme level. There's no way that you could really be having the fight on blaming out Stake for this,not because im that advertising their signature but even on other platforms on the time that there's someone who do have access into your account just because you have been phished
then its actually your own fault and blaming out the platform could lead up you nowhere.

What is you view and analysis on this bet,  although I see that he be confident in his selections to have staked such an amount,  but since football is a game of unpredictability,  what then ks your views on this game even though the match is currently live.

For me it's fine, I don't see nothing wrong with showing your bet in public. He has every right to do so, he has money. And we are in a different era now, everyone is on social media and flaunting everything they can, including rich personalities and then gambling activity. I think Floyd Mayweather has done this is the past, and he is a self made billionaire.

But for us ordinary gamblers, at least for me, I wouldn't do that. I do not what to attract attentions, specially if you win big because you know that people are going to come after you, we all know what I mean. There are people in this world who are free loaders, even your so called friends. So it's better to be quite at times specially gambling. But for this rich, it doesn't matter, for them the better they flaunt, people are going to be at awe at how much money they got.
Agree on this one on which there are really people who are really that boastful or really likes on trying to show off and there's no indeed wrong on this one because its his money that he had bet on and its none of our business on how much he would really be that be betting on. Its true that showing big or huge numbers could really be imposing some potential risks on which people would really be that
in concern and this is why whenever they do see this kind of publicity then they would really be having worries but there are people who dont really care about safety.
If ever those criminals do know someone whose rich then what they would gonna do? As if its an easy thing to abduct those people or tending to scam or whatsoever bad plans that you are
planning on which we know that it isnt really that something that could do if ever you do have bad plans.

Just let them be on what are the things that they do really want to do since its their money then they do have the full rights on boasting up on how much you had bet on.
They are billionaires or damn rich people and we know that the money you do have then you do have the feel that you could do everything.
1312  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Much do you Value your Privacy in Gambling? on: October 21, 2023, 08:58:00 PM
Currently, there are no more things like privacy in the cryptocurrency market, everything has become regulated, casinos need to have a license and ask for kyc, exchanges also ask for kyc. So it's not something that people don't know. for example when a person creates an account at a new casino, that person when depositing money, must be aware that even if the casino insists that they do not ask for kyc, eventually that same casino will ask for kyc, it will change the TOS without prior notice and the people who They put money into this new casino, they will have no choice but to go through kyc

People should not be fooled into thinking that casinos that are decentralized are the best options because they are fighting against the system implemented by governments. This thinking is dangerous, the most important thing is that people choose old casinos like stake.com and comply with the casino's TOS and not use new casinos without a reputation and after they win a lot of money in these new casinos and are unable to withdraw they start to come complain to this forum. It doesn't make sense for people to take a lot of risk in using strange casinos when they could be using good casinos.

I often ask myself why there are people with more than 10 accounts at 10 different casinos? How can you use 10 casinos at the same time? And to make matters worse, every time a new casino comes, they also create an account at that new casino, so they come and complain about kyc. But what did you expect? it was expected that they would do kyc in the 10 casinos. Unfortunately, people haven't thought very carefully about this kyc issue and are demanding it. In my opinion, you shouldn't ask much of kyc
Agree!

There's no other way or things that you could be able to avoid about being known or your information would really be that really needing for you to comply so that you could really be able to withdraw
or be able to get those functionalities if we do speak about exchanges. It is really that becoming that in every corners on which it is really that regulation would really be that always
attached into things on which we us users or gamblers would really be having no choice. If there are still some non-KYC platforms but still you cant really be that too confident
because once you do hit up a particular threshold then for sure you would really be needing to have that kind of verification which it isnt really that surprising anymore.
Valuing your privacy? but since these businesses are licensed then for sure you would really be having that kind of big problem.
1313  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best Practices for Staying Safe When Gambling on: October 21, 2023, 08:39:07 PM
Right. Chasing losses can often lead to addiction, especially gamblers. Setting a specific budget and sticking to it is a smart strategy to help reduce the risk of addiction and maintain better control over gambling habits. It's important to enjoy gambling responsibly.
Not really the case, chasing losses in my opinion isn't a gateway to addiction but one of the many symptoms. The advices you've given are definitely right but if that person is really a gambling addict I am pretty sure that they wouldn't be able to do it and we all know how addiction works, if you don't have the money to sustain, you are definitely to find a way to sustain it by hook or by crook. As much as everyone wants to embody that last part but the money that you're losing when you lose in gambling is just going to make it difficult to do.
To be honest with you, i think chasing losses is sure a gateway to becoming addicted to gambling, this is from what i have seen happen to many other people. Think of it this way, a person starts gambling, probably won, then he or she is happy and continues to gamble, won some significant amount of money again, he is extremely happy and continues to gamble, and by this time, he is now staking really high amount of money because his two previous wins has helped him build good confidence, and eventually, and ends up losing an amount of money he wasn't prepared to lose, he continues to gamble, but this time, he has become very determined because he wants to win that money he lost back by all means - This gambler have started chasing after a loss and before he realizes what he is doing, he is already addicted.

So, this is just to tell you that it's not just those who are already addicted to gambling that chase after losses, those who are just coming into gambling do chase after loses and this is one of the characters that lead them to becoming addicted to gambling.
Chasing losses is never been that a good behavior to have specially on gambling on which this would really be that resulting into such impulsive approach towards gambling and this would really be that messes up your finances specially if you cant really be able to control yourself or simply with your emotion then most likely you would really be ending up on messing everything later on.
Gambling isnt bad as long you do really know on what you are doing or simply having that control because usually gamblers do messes up with this one not literally speaking about those
security issues literally but most of the time people do experience problem when it comes to addiction and this is where people should really be mindful because if not then
this is where people do mess up and could hardly be able to assess such situation specially if you have ended up yourself on getting addicted which playing safe on both directions
but generally on which people should be avoiding on getting addicted as much as possible.

Will you leave gambling if your future wife/husband tells you to do this ?

Marriage is not just something that happens overnight; first, it starts with courtship before leading to marriage, and during the period of courtship, the woman should be able to detect some of the habits of the man that she is not comfortable with, and if the man decides not to stop some of those habits, it is left for the woman to either go ahead with the marriage or not. Also, if the man really loves his partner and is willing to give up on their gambling lifestyle, it's a decision they should take. Gambling is my thing, despite the fact that I don't gamble more often, but it is fun anytime I am out with my friends to gamble. I think it will be a very difficult decision to make if I stop gambling for any reason.
Lets assume that majority of women would really be hating gambling which we cant really be able to deny that it could really disrupt someones financial management considering that spending is much more often specially when you are engaging with gambling on which it is really just that spending would really be there and as someone who do find for some husband that they could really be with forever then it would be hard on dealing up with someone on whose a gambler on which you do already reflects out or simply making out some generalization that you would really be messing up your life with that kind of husband and this is why its not really that shocking that women would really be that skeptical about gambling habit.

If you are that someone whose really that loving gambling that much then you would really be having doubts on quitting for the sake of love but well we cant really be able to tell since there are
really man who are really that willing to quit on everything for the sake of love then its up to someones choice whether he should pursue such girl and could exchange gambling habit for that
or would really be sticking into his interest and skip out that woman.  Wink

I do not know much about Bangladesh, but I would not be surprised if it was very widespread in the past and now has continued to be practiced in villages in that country, because the traditional weight it has.
Here in my country, we may not have as much history with that tradition, and yet we still partake in it, being Bangladesh a country of the old world with longer history and access to cocks.

In the end, all of this goes back onto the tradition versus progress argument. Whether tradition is such of a an important thing, so it is necessary to make animals to fight themselves in a savage way.

The cock fighting was the very old way of the gambling by our previous generation,the ancient people use the animals for the gambling.The history says that,the gambler will play the cock fight and breed the winning cock to the next generation.Actually they will kill the beaten cock and eat as their food.This was the strongest belief by the cock fighting in most of the cock fighting origin countries.Actually in your country Bangladesh,the gambler will do the cock fighting.The cock fighting was still available at the Pakistan,India,Vietnam and some of the Asian countries.This country people had huge wish on this game.
The cock fighting game may be from the old time when things are not that civilized. Although I have seen this kind of fight most time just for fun but the purpose was not for gambling. Gambling can be very addictive if we don't have control of it ourselves. This is one of the reasons why we are still seeing that kind of games because some persons see it as a good means of betting especially when they have big and strong cocks in there farm. Although this kind of game can be a ban in some locality due to strict laws against animal misuse.
It does have a historical kind of things and been also part of cultural and this is why we do see that there are really that places in the world or corners on which this type of betting or gambling does really exist. Just like on what most people been saying here is that it isnt really that much that popular in other places just because of that animal cruelty kind of issue but well lets just move on with that reason because no matter what we do talk it then there are really that places in the world which they do really love on cockfighting and turns out to be  that entertaining thing for them.
Here in our place then it is really that totally famous on which in every weekend you would really be able to see that there are lots of people who do really go into those cockfight arena
on which tons of gamblers do flock it out on which it do comes into a point that there are tons of people and just like on a sunday mass.  Grin

In this sport, we all know that it's not impossible for the heavy favorite to lose the fight, just a single solid lucky punch that converts
Tapales road to win will take his name on top!

Upsets, that's what we call them, and they can happen in any combat sport, not just in boxing. Pacquiao wasn't always the favorite before he became a legend; he had to challenge and defeat formidable opponents to become the only eight-division world champion. So, it's entirely possible for Tapales, especially since he's putting in the hard work, trying to find Inoue's weaknesses and exploit them.

However, please take note that fans often base their expectations on past results, and Inoue, who is currently a top pound-for-pound boxer, is naturally expected to win. But remember, it's just an expectation.

Upsets do happen, but they're not a frequent occurrence. So, as a bettor, you'd usually pick the better fighter to win. However, when you're supporting your fellow countryman boxer, it's a different story. You might not objectively assess who the better fighter is, as your decision could be slightly biased.
Totally agree with this on which it doesnt matter if you would really be that losing your bet which you would really be that showing up that kind of support specially into your countrymen on which it would really be nor surprise that there would really be bettors or people who would really be having that kind of approach in regarding to this. Even myself did really have some experience on making out such bets specially if its really that my countrymen whose really be that fighting. Speaking about winning then lets be honest that we are really that indeed rooting  for some upsets on which even on the slimmest chance but those hopes is really here or something that do talks about expectation for beating up the favorite. On this case, i do see that Tapales could really be having the chance
yet he wont really be that be called a champion for nothing on this said division. It is really just that Inoue is really that heavily favorite and tons or most people is anticipating
that this would really be only an easy match for him.

It all depends on how the gambler is, if he has stopped gambling completely I think the thousands of casino advertisements he often sees will probably not be affected by him, but if he is still not really serious about stopping gambling he will definitely come back again after seeing an interesting gambling advertisement , I also often see gambling advertisements on several sites and sometimes also on my social media. but never thought to visit it even though I actively gamble.

The point is that it depends on the user's behavior. If we think it's just an ordinary advertisement, I'm sure we won't be influenced by the advertisement, especially if we already know about the risks of gambling and have experience in gambling, we will definitely think the advertisement is something that is not too disturbing. it all depends on the behavior of the user  Cheesy

The gambling addiction can be solved by the good behaviour of the gambler.He should ready to change their regular habit of gambling with certain period of time,the gambler can play other games at the time of the gambling play time.But the gambler also accept the other game apart from the gambling.He should understand the fact the purpose of the gambling and other game was same to give entertainment to the gamblers.The gambler also start to calculate the amount of dollar using by the gambler on the gambling and make them to use of the same money in the other regular purpose to forgot that money.
Very few people can gamble just like other games and for those who have experienced gambling addiction, of course they have various reasons not to stop gambling and what can make them stop gambling, I think they must have other activities that make them not have opportunity to gamble.

    -   You are correct in what you said; a gambling addict should have something else to entertain him that can change his gambling addiction, and perhaps one of them can take him or take him to another place that can give him peace of mind because of the beautiful view around him, such as beaches or camping places.

It is hardly surprising, at least in this sense, that a person with a gambling addiction may eventually recover. This way, it will be built in such a way that it will benefit his health as well as ease his mind and reduce his stress level.

If there's an addiction and we have to deal with it, then we must be ready to use a means to curb down this and make an alternative to the addiction by introducing something new and different to keep one busy, such could avoid not being occupied with doing something, most people finds it difficult to control addiction because they never realized a means to adopt in replacing what they are addicted of.

Another means is to ensure that we deals with our bankroll circumstances, it's not everytime we should be having money on our casino wallet, we should invest as well with our money, have some savings and gamble responsibly, we have to choose from things we engage our time for as well, everything falls under being disciplined while gambling.
All matters with self will and control because if you are really that serious on quitting gambling then you would definitely do it but if not then pretty sure you would really be that keeps on gambling
all over again and again on which this is something that varies on each person because not all would really be that good on controlling themselves or could really be able to decide on point specially on stopping gambling specially on the time that you had made yourself that getting addicted to it . Its impossible that you cant really be able to point out on whats happening on the actions that you are making specially when it comes to spending money.

If you are really that making yourself that blind then you would really be ending up on having a miserable life when it comes to finances and if you dont really like
for these things to happen then it would really be just that right or enough for you to make such good decisions rather than on tolerating that kind of urge
on doing gambling which you do know that it could really make problems afterwards.

Always maintain self-control when engaged in gambling activities. Never act beyond your limits, and remember that there is no successful gambler born from gambling.
Yes, it's true that the most important thing to do before gambling is to be able to control yourself and understand the risks involved, sometimes many beginner gamblers when they first start gambling they play beyond the limits of other normal gamblers and in the end when they experience defeat they lose everything. Instead, they regret the money they have, even though they should know that gambling carries the risk of losing money.

This message must be continuously reminded to beginners that gambling must have limits, for example limiting the budget so that they don't become addicted, let alone playing beyond their limits, thereby damaging their mindset. even though it is clear that gambling is not a place to make a lot of money because not many gamblers are truly successful because of gambling unless they become a bookie
A must thing to be done but majority of people do really fail on doing so just because they are really that letting their addiction control them or the greed that a certain player or gambler does have.
In regarding about those parade then i dont really see it for it to be educational but rather its a marketing about exposure on trying out to show those slot games which it is really just that normal that people would really be that curious basing up on what they are seeing specially into those first timers on which it would really be that creating that kind of curiosity which it would really be causing for someone to play or test it out. They might be showing some cons about playing gambling but it would really be outweighing on the curiosity that it could possibly generate or some sort of marketing on 
which its never been that shocking for any business out there specially on gambling industry which they would really be having that kind of budget basing up on how profitable the business is.
For those youngster who do able to see those parade then it cant be avoided that questions would really be mold up and its not shocking that they would really be having that potential dealing
later on after they have seen it.
1319  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who among you here is gambling at work? on: October 20, 2023, 11:28:31 PM

Well, it will actually take some level of maturity to not let playing or gambling in office during work hours affect your output in work, for personally, i think its not about the game itself, but the outcome of the game, and that this does not affect your productivity at work also largely depends on the type of work you are doing, although i do have in mind that you mentioned that you mostly do this when you don't have much to do at your office.

But then, let's consider those who pretty busy at work having to spare sometime in-between work to watch a match they probably have betted some reasonable amount of money on, believing that he or she would win the bet, but unluckily, his team lost, and he watched every bit of that match at work. Do you think that the outcome of that game will not somehow, negatively affect that Persons's productivity at work for the rest of that day?, not actually the outcome of the game, but the money he or she lost when he or she already believed that he or she would win the game.

The people who love to play the gambling all the time will do the gamble at their work.Most of us hear the songs during the work time,because song is the entertainment for us.The purpose of hear the song is to entertain ourself during the pressured working time.No one pay us simple without any task in the work,So gambler will choose the gambling instead of the music.The sports bet will be the best option to choose the gambling during the work time.
There's nothing wrong on playing as long it would really be compromising your work efficiency but as much as possible then it would really be that recommended that playing time should really be on the right time and not really be done on workplace because it would really be most likely be affecting your efficiency on working and we know that gambling is really that for entertainment
and should really be that for fun but it would really be just that right that you should really be that skipping out and not putting up your focus on playing gambling because once you do make
yourself that engaging too much with gambling on not on the right time then it would really be might resulting into that some issues not into yourself but rather with your coworkers on which they might really be making some complaints or issues which would really be resulting into that possible problem in the future.
1320  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A weird belief among some gamblers. on: October 20, 2023, 10:53:59 PM
So why this belief or do you think it could be true? Or is it one of those superstitious belief among gamblers?
Do you feel cool sharing your predictions with other people and how has the outcome been looking at all the times you have shared your predictions with others?
It's quite funny that someone still holds such antiquated beliefs in this day and age. How can someone lose their bet slip if they give it to someone else? How does it work or connect? Anyone who holds such illogical beliefs needs to be examined to determine what is wrong with them(the state of their mental health). 

A normal person will never think in such a way. He would ask you to assist him in determining whether the forecasted bets had a possibility of winning or not by analyzing the betting games. It will now be up to you to place your bets on the games as instructed or to adjust particular aspects of the bet games.
You cant tell a person is already crazy on having that kind of belief and lets just respect on what are the things that they do have in mind as long they arent harming someone or bothering then it would really be just fine. Just let them be able to realize on what are the things should really be needing  to be done or to do so for them to increase their winning chance rather than on following something which it isnt really that something realistic on doing so. There are really gamblers who do have that kind of belief when it comes on being realistic then it turns out to be a joke or something funny
which if we do make out that indepth understanding about correlation then you could be able to say that it doesnt really have any connection and that what makes it funny.

There's no such thing on this world that could really be able to influence or could really affect on how lucky you are.There's no such thing and this is where
people would really be making out some step or actions that they do believe that it do really make some influence but well its their on their mind
and just let them be on what are the things that they are believing.
