961  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A gambler's family action. on: November 13, 2023, 12:48:23 PM
The young man could go to another city for many reasons to gamble. As compulsive gamblers, they can do things that are beyond our reason. They can even move to another city for the reason of wanting to find a new atmosphere. In fact, that is one way for them to be able to gamble again without anyone watching.

This young man's family has done something we didn't expect because he wanted to do something different from the others. This is courage that needs to be appreciated because it could embarrass the young man from gambling in his city. But he was able to move to another city secretly so he could gamble again.

If it were me, I would share the winnings with people I care about. But if they don't want to, I'll enjoy it myself. I don't need to force it on them.
If you are that someone whose really that totally addicted and compulsive to gambling then you would definitely be that considering on going into other town on which you do know that you could really be able to play but since you do still have that respect into your family then you wont really be tending to go into other places just for the sake of gambling. If you are a person who do really love to revenge into those people who had despise you or really have that bad look into you then  you would really be not that minding even if they are a family but well majority of us would really be giving out that kind of importance specially into your family. In case you do win something big then sharing up would really be your first action to be made. Its never been that ideal on being that loving on taking up some revenge just because they are really that stopping you on doing gambling, bare in mind that they are really just that doing this because they do love you.
They've seen something that shouldnt really be done or simply they are really that in concern, sometimes it might be that too much but better to understand on their concern.

The rich man does not rely in gambling there are still other sources that become his income, he knows how to earn money healthily without gambling games, but that's most of the rich people prefer on their business/investment to generate not from gambling.

I think that is the point he tried to make that because the rich have a stable and steady financial inflow, they may not be found gambling like the lower class. Believe it that most people who gamble do that for the additional money expected as winning reward. I think there could be some sense in that anyway but I also know that some rich do gamble especially in football betting and when they are drinking, they could lock horn in P2P gambling with friends maybe that could be for fun and superiority to show who follows football more.
Gambling never guarantee win so it will be foolish to gamble if someone Don't have enough money to run there Daily life. Gambling is a risky thing so if one gambles it becomes very risky for him then he can face financial loss anytime so gambling should always be avoided during bad times. But if someone is in good financial condition he can gamble then gambling loss will not cause any financial stress for him.
There's no just sense that you would really be doing gambling just because you do gamble because you dont have money! You are just basically doing suicide if thats the case knowing on how risky gambling is, then it would really be not that ideal that you should really be doing this as an option for you to make money because it is really that intended for entertainment and not for source. You would really be putting up yourself on such big problem or issue on the time that you would really be making such step. You would really be just that making yourself that desperate on things
because you are believing into something which it isnt that even right.

Gamble for fun and not for income. If you do see that you do only have  that small amount of money that you could really be able to play on or not even possible then
it would be just that right that you should stop or not to consider on playing gambling again.

Did have already used that kind of strategy even on that 1.05 odds doesnt win everytime.So better not to stick with it all the time. Most of my sports betting choices then i dont go usually below 1.5 odds
which i do mainly stick into those favorite ones but on the time that i have seen lesser then it would really be giving me some idea on betting into the opposite which is on that underdog
which usually it will really be having some nasty odds. There are times which i do really make out some consideration on putting up some bucks whenever i do see some slight chance of winning.
In overall it would really be just that depending on you since not all would really be having that kind of intuition and analysis on every match.
964  Economy / Gambling / Re: - UGA - a Gamblers Union on: November 12, 2023, 11:29:23 PM
In theory it might possible and yeah looking good in the paper, but in reality this union wont solve anything at all.

How to verify that all of the members are legit players? Many abusers and butthurt players will use it to threat casinos, and thats it.
Nothing more can be done by this union and casinos definitely will ignore it.

There are better ways to bring the dispute between player and the casino - casinoguru, askgambler, btcgosu and many more.

Also, assuming someone would actually try and create an union for gamblers, it would probably mean that those who belong to the union would be asked to give a small fee so the union can fund itself and it's operations, as it happens with traditional unions in the real life, that being said, I am not sure how willing some gamblers would be to give a small fee to the union, specially if that union asked for some fixed percentage of a jackpot or win a gambler could have in a lucky streak.
Sadly, just organization would be abused by people who do not understand how casinos and randomness work, to try to damage the reputation of actually good services, not even mentioning many of the members would be people suffering from problem gambling and hence having problems to comply with the union fee.
Having some strict compliance about having that union fee or something that would really be compulsory? It is true that making up some movement with this kind of union or possible operations would really be that so hard when it doesnt have funds, therefore, there are no other ways but only this kind of method on which they could be able to accumulate funding then its possible but
same as you said that it would really be neither creating that kind of problem for other gamblers which they would be needing to have that donation and the rest might really be just
simply quit and leave because of such rule. This is why i dont really see for this union to be quite that relevant.Understandable that having some aims and goals that needs to achieve
but not all the time it would be turning out to be justifiable as long there would really be no evidences that would be present out.Also, losses are inevitable and
excuses could really be that easily made out.
965  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A tip for staying resposible while gambling. on: November 12, 2023, 10:59:44 PM
While gambling some people gamble with small amounts which is not very important for them, but for those who are new to gambling and not able to control themselves or play with something reasonable amount.
So I have a tip for them you can stick a real paper money note in front of your monitor which will remind you that money is hard to earn and play responsibly or don't play with big amounts.
the note will remind every time that how you earned that money, and if you are controlled and this tip is not very important for you them you can ignore it, but i found this helpful.

This tip is pretty meaningless because it does not get to the root cause that people end up gambling, which is often chasing losses. If you've already burned hundreds, or even thousands, then a ten dollar note sat by your computer screen is not likely to have any effect. The best defense against this is to keep betting small, like you mentioned, so you can have a little dabble which can be fun. If you've already spent those vast sums and feel like you're in a hole, then you really need to stop gambling entirely - the same with any addiction. It's painful and distracting at the start, but you have to remember that it's only when you hit the lowest point that you felt it was time to climb back out again.
There's no such tip that needs to be followed or to be heard off into someone if you are really just making use of your own common sense and awareness on how gambling works and how risky it is.
Each of us does have that kind of thinking on things that we do encounter and its really that impossible that you cant really be able to assess on whats good and whats bad.
You wont really be putting yourself at big or great trouble if you are really just that responsible towards your gambling sessions or simply on the manner you do spend.
Only spend on the amount on which you can afford to lose or lets say that you are really just that willing to make use for the sake of leisure and on the time that you do go beyond
those lines or limitations then this is where shit do really end up.
966  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A gambler's family action. on: November 12, 2023, 10:45:18 PM

Just two questions here:
1. Dis the family of this young man went too extreme in trying to help stop their brother from gambling addiction or not?

2. Assuming you are this young man and you had to run to a distant location to carry out your gambling as you are allowed to gambling within your neighborhood and luckily you won huge sum of million dollars. Would you share that money with your loved ones who were barring you from gambling or you will just stay off from them and live new found wealthy live alone?

Share your thoughts!

1. It is for your own good and we know that family knows best on whats for you, if they do saw you that you are addicted already too much with gambling then the thing they have done is
just right. They dont really just like that you would really be ending up miserable or mess up your life with gambling.

2. Im not that a selfish person, even if they have been stopping me lately about my gambling urge or activity but still family is family. Money is just a tool or thing
which family cant really be replaced. Of course it would really be sharing up in case i have win significant amount of money.

ACtions made out by your loved ones just to make you stop gambling because they've already seen something bad will not be always a negative thing.
The wrong this is upon you.
967  Economy / Gambling / Re: Information of Crypto Casinos License and KYC requirements on: November 12, 2023, 09:59:35 PM
Today I received a prize from winning a competition sponsored by 500 Casino. Even though I am against KYC in a crypto casino, I had no choice and had to go through it. Probably everyone knows how casinos don’t like a player with a profit trying to withdraw money, and they create difficulties in the way of this player so that he gives up and changes his mind about withdrawing the money or crypto he won. Nevertheless, I want to say that Casino 500 verified my documents incredibly quickly, literally within a minute I received the result, and all the document rejections were only due to my error. Therefore, for me, in addition to Roobet, another wonderful casino began to exist.
If I wherein you shoes I will do the same since I already have a prize to claim once I pass through the KYC process,  to get my money out and that is something I know many other people will do same unless you don't trust the casino to be able to handle you privacy but if it does then kyc is not an issues.

We have to come to terms with that fact that KYC is what most casinos and governments require from the gamblers and this helps to solve a lot of issues such as removing possible underage gambling.
When it comes to money specially a significant amount then for sure it wont really be that a problem for people to comply on whats been asked. We've been dealing for long already about exposed identification or privacy not online but in real life. Therefore, there's not really that a difference and now we have some locked up funds on the site and asking for some verification?
It wont really be an issue and just like been said that most gamblers or people would really be agreeing and would really be complying it right away.

If KYC is been asked on the time that we do register then this is the only time that crypto gamblers or people would really be flocking away out of it. Why?
Sharing up information just to play is never been that ideal on which we do know that we could be able to do such thing without sharing up our identity into other
places. We do know on how its been highly frowned upon into this space.
968  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can a gambler be a good bitcoin trader? on: November 12, 2023, 09:46:26 PM
So if a gambler where to go into bitcoin trading, do you think that the experience of taking risk in gambling will be an added advantage to face the risk of bitcoin trading?
Yes, definitely.

That's an advantage that a trader is already a risk taker and more than that because of gambling. The advantage is there but the results will still vary on how good the gambler is in Bitcoin trading or any market that he's going to trade.

If that gambler learns how to be a good trader then that can be his next hobby and instead of gambling, he'd do trading. But another concern might spark because the gambling attitude is there and what if he makes money off trading and then the profit there will be used to gamble?

That won't make sense but it's possible to happen and is happening IRL.
If you are a gambler on whose tending to touch up the world of trading then risks taking wont really be that an issue unless if you are a gambler whose really have that good risks management and not to those people who are really that addicted or impulsive into it. The advantage on that being a gambling then touching up trading is you do know on how to balance up the risks but there are cons
into it on which on the time that you are really that dealing up with trading then you shouldnt really be having that kind of gambler approach. You would really be finding it to be that
so problematic if you do tied up gambling with trading.It must not because trading could give out better results if you are really that just that know on what you should gonna do.
969  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Nigerians spend $975m daily on online betting on: November 12, 2023, 09:26:28 PM
Recalled that Nigeria population is estimated to be around 200+million and from the information above, over 65 million people are engaged in gambling on a daily basis amounting to over 32% of the country population. With the recent economic crisis and hardship affecting almost all the nations, if large number of people are spending this much on betting, can we say that they relied on gambling to survive?

Wow that is a lot of money for one country alone. With a GDP of 440bn USD, I can't believe that they would bet so much money every single day on betting. Interesting would be also how much tax revenues the gambling industry generates for the country. Now I am wondering where all this money is coming from that people use for gambling. Maybe they people in Nigeria are more lucky and win higher amounts than in other countries? I would expect that a majority fo the 65m gamblers are regular customers and they must be funding their bets from somewhere. With such a large betting market there is probably a high level of competition among the bookmakers and casinos to attract new capital. Also shouldn't this attract international companies to invest in the Nigerian gambling market? It seems very lucrative and as long as the government doesn't want to limit the gambling exposure of the people I would expect that the share of people gambling even rises over time. I am not sure if people will actually rely on gambling to survive, or if they use as a form of entertainment to spend their money earned from their full time job.
Doesnt matter on what GDP does a country have in relation into their citizens spending because we do know that it has nothing to do on someones capacity on playing up gambling which we know that it is really varying on someones capacity on doing gambling. Not all the time on which we do only see or check about counties condition about economical aspects on trying out to connect it out on someones
financial capacity but its not really that bad to assume out that most people arent really that financially stabled for us to tell that why they are really that a fan on spending out tons on gambling
if their earning is really just that enough on day to day survival? Trying out to make those amounts bigger and hoping for some huge wins? thats really a huge mistake to be done by someone.
970  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have your own casino. on: November 12, 2023, 08:59:25 PM
I really get the points the both of you are coming from, but let's not talk about the money aspect, but let's talk about the other hand, even if everyone had the money to open a casino, who would be the gambler? Because if everyone wants to gamble, they will just go to their own casino and gamble and the gambling industry will no longer move forward the way it is now.
However, for an individual to have his or her own casino hall, that person must have enough money.
Very interesting discussion and I will add some discussion to make it more interesting.
If you say it's not about money but when everyone has the money to build their own casino who will gamble but another question if everyone has the money to build a casino do they have experience in terms of gambling systems?
One day I thought, when I have a lot of money, I want to build a gambling business because this business provides quite a large income, but on the one hand, I think I only have money, I don't have any experience or knowledge in systematic terms in casinos, don't I? should I hire multiple teams to grow my business? But if I didn't have the knowledge about it, when I was lied to or cheated, I would never know and suddenly my business would go bankrupt.
In this aspect, it seems that it is not just about money but experience and knowledge that are the benchmarks for someone who will build a gambling business.
When building a business then passion and interest would really be much preferred or needed on which it would really be giving out that kind of advantage considering that you would really be that needing for you to handle it well basing up with your knowledge through it. Dealing up with business on which you dont really have any idea would really be challenging at all or somewhat boring on your part.Nothing beats out if you are really that interested on the business that  you are building specially if you are a gambler or fan of it then having a casino business would really be a dream come true
kind of situation and we know that building one is never been cheap or something that could really be that so easy.This is why only a few could really be having that kind of power
and capability on doing so. If ever we do give up some chance then no one will surely refuse knowing this business is really that profitable.
971  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: sites with bonuses without deposit on: November 12, 2023, 08:31:09 PM
You can check BTCGosu: https://www.btcgosu.com/bitcoin-casino-bonuses/no-deposit-bonus/

No deposit bonuses usually come with some catch, usually, it's wager requirements before you can withdraw it. Many people are trying to exploit this kind of bonus by creating numerous accounts, so we can understand that casinos are trying to fight against that.

There are still casinos that offer no deposit bonuses, but I wouldn't get my hopes up that some money can be made that way. It's just a way to try a casino, how it works, and what features it has.

People or someone should really realize this because they cant really just give out free money or giving out those opportunity that letting gamblers would really be able to have some big hit and would really be hurting their revenue or profits on which they are a business and not a charity on which means that it is really just that normal that they would really be requiring those
rollover or wagering requirement and wont really be allowing for someone to get easily make out some withdrawal. They arent that out of their minds on such matter.
Just like on whats been said that if there's something or place that do have this kind of set up then i wouldnt really be considering on making some deposits.
Always be better on dealing up with sites with established reputation so that you would really be able to avoid those possible headaches.
972  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you use bitcoin when gambling? on: November 12, 2023, 08:15:56 PM
I'm making this poll to see what form of payment is the most preferred by people here. Given that gambling is a popular and practical use of bitcoin, I'm interested to see what percentage of people still have it as their preferred funding method and perhaps for what reasons.

Seeing how bitcoin's fees have gone up a lot, I would assume that with the plethora of options for cheaper transactions, people must be using other options much more. Some might even prefer to use conventional means such a debit or credit cards.

Whatever your preference is, feel free to express why that is and also answer the poll (optionally). It's for research purposes only. Cheesy
That's an interesting poll and to be honest I'm not surprised by the results so far. Bitcoin blockchain fees are a real concern when you gamble, because even if some casinos are offering BTC withdrawals like the one in my signature(Livecasino) you will still need to spend a mining fee when you want to make a deposit in order to be able to send and to get your transaction mined. But if the fee you've sent is too small, your transaction can get stuck during days, weeks or even months. That's a real concern that you haven't with other cryptos. So currently I'm mainly gambling with DOGE, FUN and stablecoins onto Tron and Gnosis blockchains or Layer2 networks like Polygon, Arbitrum and Optimism.
Majority of sites or platforms would really be asking out for withdrawal fees, i didnt see nowadays offering that free fee on taking out your money on their site or simply with widthrawal.
When it comes to the amount then it would really be always dynamic on which it would really be that depending or basing up on the network condition whether the fees were high or not,
now we are experiencing those roof top numbers with Bitcoin and ETH which making transactions would really be no sense specially if you are really just that a small time gambler but if not then
it wont really be that an issue but for me then i wont really be making use of those coins for now since the fees are high.

Speaking about using up Bitcoin with gambling then there are times but not really on the sense or matter that i've been doing some all in. We know
on how precious BTC is and i cant really that afford that much on losing on a fast pace manner. I do also make some options on making plays using other
altcoins with have some cheap fees and cheap value.
973  Economy / Gambling / Re: Top Halloween Online Casino Bonus or Promo on: November 12, 2023, 07:59:39 PM
I think that all casinos have some Halloween event. But in my preferred casinos the main events were only for deposit. And i didn`t deposit money on this event.
The same time i don`t like to spend time trying to catch a bonus and it is possible that i missed something. As i see it was possible to get free $100-$300 during the event.
There’s a lot of good casinos that offers a great promotion especially if there’s a holiday like this.
To name a few you can check Roobet and 500 casino as they have a lot of promotions and more events that encourage gamblers to play more. The next holiday is Christmas and I’m sure many sites will start campaigning their promotions so better to visit the best site and wait for it so you can maximize their bonuses.
I think that i have 2 ways to get bonuses. First way is to wait for some event and get greeting bonus and bonus for first deposit. In the second way i have to register right now and regularly gamble in new casino to increase my rating for getting bigger bonuses during event.
I`d prefer the first way but in such situation i have 2 problems - i need not to lose the start of the event and i will have wagering requirements, so i can`t change the casino for some time.
An attractive bonus for first deposit and attractive bonuses on various events are now offered by all casino sites.  So a gambler has to create an account on a new site to get the bonus for the first deposit.  But just using one site is enough to get bonuses for different events. Halloween is a religious festival and it is common for casino sites to offer bonuses during this time so it is very fun to take advantage of this opportunity to enjoy the bonus. So you can use your 2 ways. But before gambling turns into addiction, keep yourself under control
During the event i can get higher first deposit bonus i think. And, as for me, it is more profitable, than other bonuses, i can get for half a year gambling. It would be more interesting to get such a bonus, make wagering requirements and withdraw all the money to the main casino. If the sum is big enough, it is possible to share it between several casinos.
Casino sites offer a variety of bonuses for first deposits. However, since Halloween is a popular festival, sites tend to offer some higher quality bonuses because of this festival, as this boosts their marketing even more. This is why sites offer such high bonuses and gamblers on the other hand enjoy it so it is a win-win situation. You are very lucky in this case that you have received good heart bonuses and have been able to use them to make more profits
Higher quality? Meh, they are all just the same, they do only differ on the colors of banners.  Kiss Wagering requirement might be less than typical but it would really be still that high.
Just like with other users above been saying that no matter how good looking it is but still those wagering requirement or terms attached to it what makes it that sucks.
Its true that everything would really be that just still in business side, they wont really be offering something that would really be that not ideal or beneficial into their business
and this is why they might offer something which is really that fancy into the eyes but in overall it is really just that trying to lure you in to make more deposits.
This is their main goal or target and this is why they do really make things looks even more cooler and attractive but be careful because these things arent that good at all.
974  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you guys believe in other people luck and try to copy them? on: November 12, 2023, 07:58:42 PM
If you want to gamble or bet on anything, do so, soley at your own discretion and instincts and not based on anybody's lucky charm as you are entirely resonsible for the outcome
It’s just someone to me whenever I see people following others discretion. Why do you have to depend on anyone before you can gamble? So if the person’s analysis is wrong, you will just follow the person just like that, which is very wrong. Whenever you are gambling or you are into other things, learn to do them yourself, don’t depend on others. If you take your time to learn the necessary things that you are supposed to learn and you decide to gamble on your own, you might end up winning more money than following  other people' gambling.
 
But some people do copy others gambling because they believe they are professional gamblers, and they believe their predictions are mostly right, but I don’t believe that. Those people who you claim to be professionals also started somewhere, so just take your time and learn yourself, and you will also be a professional gambler. You don’t have to depend on anyone before you can gamble.
And following someone is never been that entertaining at all, it do really remove the real essence of gambling on which for someone do really need to enjoy. I dont believe about being lucky or what.
Following someone is never been that good or never been that ideal, there's no fun with that.Copying is never been my line or vocabulary on which i dont really see for it to be that ideal
copying them is shit even into those sports bet kind of selection or choosing on which i dont really have that kind of liking. I do always depend on my choice and never ever copy someone.
Somewhat there are really some situations or conditions on which i do look that copying is really that considerable specially if the analysis been made is something
that could really be that ideal or you do agree upon then you would be making on the same choice.
975  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Question for those who loose too frequently in gambling on: November 12, 2023, 01:28:15 PM
I think it depends on what games people are losing with. Some times of casino or gambling games are where people expect to lose quite frequently.  Where winning is something not expected to happen often.  I would compare games like this to scratch of lotto tickets.  People tend to win just enough to keep them coming back.  Otherwise I don't think people would keep playing if all they did was lose.
It seems that whether in any game or bet every gambler always hopes to win and whether they win or lose, in the end they will come back with the amount of money they deposited.
Although it is true that not all gamblers will have high hopes, winning is dream for every gambler without exception, many gamblers are even willing to spend more money to be able to produce a more decent win.
There are also many gamblers who have the idea that no matter how many losses they experience, there will definitely be big win waiting in the future that can provide profits that are far greater than the number of losses.
Maybe you have also heard statements like this and it is common in the beliefs and beliefs of gamblers.
Moreover, defeat is certain outcome and cannot be avoided by any means or strategy, so we can only manage our time, finances and responsible attitude so that defeat does not make us lulled into the bad attitude of gamblers who cannot accept defeat.
Most times, when gamblers lose in gambling, they go and come back again, some of them come back to the casino center or the gambling hall will more money than the previous ones, this is how losing starts.
I agree to the fact that it is not all gamblers that have the same hing hope as other because some might lose and never come back and some might still lose and go back with higher money to gamble more so they can gain back their loses (Wich is wrong).
Winnings in gambling don't come all the time and a of newbie gamblers and old time gamblers should also put that in mind.
Sometimes when gamblers lose, they immediately get angry and say they will quit gambling. There will be exceptions, but most are similar. They may take a temporary break to manage their finances. When they make enough money, they become more attractive again. It is normal to lose in gambling but there are many negative comments which have no basis. Those who regularly lose in gambling must have some mistakes and when they learn from those mistakes can increase their chances of winning.
You are correct, most times I do conclude that it is a bit hard to quit gamble, more especially those that are well familiar with it.
It is not easy to stop gamble unless one might relocate to an island were there isn't anything related to gamble and being totally separate from the internet but is is hard to do those things.
Many gamblers things that they can only say that they will not gamble again and that's all,,, no, it is not an easy task for a well gambler to totally quite gambling, unless the person might just take a break for a while.
I say this because in my country I have seen a lot of people that tried to quit smoking and some of them can't quit but few can,,,, however smoking is very much different from gamble but I just used it as an example.
Stopping would really be only necessary on the time that you would really be already compromising your finances on which it is really that the best thing to be done but if it isnt really that affecting you on negative way then i dont see the reason for it to be that for you to stop gambling Anyone does have the right on playing or entertain themselves on which it would really be just that right that
moderation would really be crucial on times like this. Losing is inevitable and this is why on the time that you have decided on touching up gambling then you should really make yourself that prepared on whatever things that you would be able to experience along the way. Get prepared and endure into those annoying and disappointment along the way because losing money
is never been giving or being a pleasant thing in the first place. This is why acceptance and moving on would really be that crucial.

Speaking about crypto then the only thing i do make use is on other alts specially on the time that the fees were high specially as of this moment.
Somewhat there are really moments i do make use of my own BTC but not all the time because whenever i do lost up bets on using Bitcoin then it do really hurt so much.
Deep inside i do really know that spending up bitcoin is never been that ideal knowing about its potential and probable increase in price then it is really just
that waste of spending it out.

Somewhat most gamblers doesnt really care about spending as long they are enjoying themselves and thinking that the money they have spent
would really be just that payment for the entertainment that they do get. So it would really vary into each individual yet we do
have that different kind of approach towards things.

Most of the newcomers will always be fascinated to gambling after making the discovery that they can earn through such means, they therefore center their personal mind on making money through gambling together with having fun, but things aren't the way it's being viewed sometimes not until we have started to know what's going on with gambling, some will not even thought about the risk in it, all they want is always seing things work together as they have planned, we should not be greedy or to eager to making money while gambling.

Newbies are always moved by what they have been told; not until they have had first-hand knowledge of what they have been told will they know what reality is all about. It is when they have had first-hand experience that they will know that what they were initially thinking about is not what the reality is. So therefore, making money through gambling is not the right thought and is not the reality.No one should advise anyone to do that, and they believe it. Anyone who does that is heading for a doom.

A lot of people need to have their first-hand experience before they will truly learn their lessons.
Sometimes we already know even before jumping in, however, we still proceed because we need to check it out on our own.
This is why it is always best to remind yourself from time to time why you are gambling and your financial capacity to spend.
There may be winnings and losses, that's gambling after all. But as early as you can, set your limitations in this addicting activity.

Well that first hand experience will really help but I would say that it's crucial to be a bit cautious too. You know how some gamblers just chase after profit without considering potential losses and that can backfire big time, especially for someone just starting out. Striking a balance is key like being smart about stakes and protecting your bankroll. For a newbie, it's all about keeping it real and gambling with what you can afford to lose. Nobody wants a bad first experience that totally puts them off so take it easy, set reasonable limits, and make sure it's a positive start to this whole gambling journey. It's not just about winning, it's about enjoying the ride and learning the ropes. Smiley
Gambling is something that really needs to be that entertaining or something you can enjoy and not something that you could be stressed and getting that kind of bad feeling  due to losing of money.
Yes, its never been that giving that good feeling in terms of losing money on which you can really be able to say that this isnt something that all people would really be liking for them to experience on. New comers or to those newbies? Very common that they would really be having that kind of anticipation that winning in gambling could really be that so easy without even trying to realize
that it was really that never been that ideal for someone who are really just chasing on making money on which it would really be just making you desperate and cant think off
about the ways on which you should really be needing to do so.

I base my question about whether a gambler can become a good bitcoin trader, because both of them share one factor which is risk. A gambler is a risk taker, he stakes his money without knowing the outcome of the game that he is about to play. There is no guarantee that he will win, yet he goes ahead to play, knowing fully well that he can lose his bet. Same thing with a bitcoin trader, he goes ahead to engage in trading knowing fully well that the market can turn around  negatively for him, making him to lose his bitcoin. Yet he goes ahead to trade in the hope of making profit.

Although there are some differences between the two, like most gambling depends mainly on luck. You play and let luck decide fate of the game, that is the risk factor, because the gambler doesn't have any control or influence to determine the outcome of the bet. Also a bitcoin trader doesn't have any control or influence to determine how the market swings, he takes the risk to trade his bitcoin without knowing the outcome whether it'll be profit or lose. The diffidence between the two is that a bitcoin trader can predict the market, while a gambler can not predict the outcome of a bet, except in sports bet.

So if a gambler where to go into bitcoin trading, do you think that the experience of taking risk in gambling will be an added advantage to face the risk of bitcoin trading?
The difference in between things is that a trader does really deal up with something that could bring up money or profits neither long term or short term. It does have risks but its not really that something that as much as risky with gambling. Now on the question , can a gambler be a good bitcoin trader? There's no way on telling whether it would be yes or no because if you are a gambler which is really that exposed to high risk then for sure you would really be applying it somehow on the time that you do trade but sooner or later you would really be able to realize on how you should really be dealing up with it on which trying out to have that good risks management considering that it isnt really needing for you to have that kind of impulsive approach yet trading
would really be that different.

How they do differ in speaking about their terms?
They could possible differ on ff;

1. Restricted countries
2. Way of KYC
3. Thresholds
4. Other different terms which it isnt present on other terms.

s.
but it is not really about those reason instead their changing the terms once there is the withdrawals
, and the main issue here is the objective of those casinos and that is to take advantage of the players and how they are cheating
 them in chances that they might find ways to take their money out of obligation , they will be clean as
 clear water because of the requirements they are asking.
There is no way we can challenge the terms and conditions of a casino when the reason why we are there to make profits. Many gamblers don't have that time to be dragging a casino because they tend not to understand the terms and conditions of the casino. Even though we got lured to bet there without knowing what there terms and conditions really was, it all our fault since we have already started using the casino and also deposited our funds. The best thing we can do is to just ignore the casino and look for a better one that would help us make the kind of profits that we really want to be earning based on our strategies and skills.
If you are pertaining about casinos then games then it doesnt really need up that skills and strategies but if we do speak about betting sites or something that connects out with sports betting
then this is where these things would be applicable or something that you could really be able to make use of. Whether which one you are really that involving neither of the sides but still
it would really be that always recommended that you should really know about their terms and conditions plus if you are really that too suspicious on things around then it
would really be that always recommended that you should really be just dealing up with those things which are known and reputable so that you wont really be that
wasting up your time on thinking about having no fair kind of results or outcomes or something that you had been that suspicious.

Chasing losses in Gambler is very dangerous if you are not in economical sense recover losses. The addiction of recover losses you don't noticed how much capital you have risk to recover the loss. That remain reason chasing losses is dangerous because if you set to recover loss and say that how much capital I have to put in it to recover my loss that mean you are foolish person. Because over gambling makes addiction because of addiction you gamble over and over gambling causes losses. That's why if you face loss stop gambling for the time start after taking some rest it will be more effective and helpful for recover your losses.
Recovering losses in gambling is never recommended because it will only increase the number of losses even greater. We will also face other problems where we can become addicted to gambling and will not realize that we have experienced it when we gamble more often. Apart from that, the money you spend on gambling can increase, so that is what makes many people experience chaos in their finances because they do not control themselves or limit themselves in using money for gambling. And yes, if we have experienced loss, we should stop gambling and rest because at that time, our emotions will increase, and all that is on our minds is the desire to recover from that loss. But by resting, we can lower our emotions so that we can think clearly and not think about trying to recover from loss.
Yes, indeed chasing losses with the desire to recover losses has a very bad impact and one of them is addiction which will hit our minds with uncontrollable emotions of high levels of greed so that they will lose their common sense and have difficulty gambling healthily and things like this often happen Even you and I have experienced this, but we as gamblers who have had experience for a long time can be a little more in control, it's just that after failing to control ourselves, we bet more and lose, usually regret will haunt us for a few days, but that's a normal condition the most important thing is to always make mistakes the key to improve yourself so that you ignore chasing losses in gambling.
If you do really come into a point on which you would really be chasing up some losses then this is the time that you are already that making yourself that having out of control or simply that becomes that impulsive on which we know that it isnt really that recommended on doing so because it will really be just that making you desperate on your gambling activity on which we know that it isnt really that something that good on having such behavior yet spending money would really be that more severe and its not something that good. When gambling then you should already anticipate
that losing is really that inevitable and you should really accept such condition because people would usually be that impulsive on the time that they arent that getting used to on losing
and instead of accepting they would rather tending or trying out to chase it up instead.
