Expecting profits from gambling is certainly a very wrong thing, but some people do it and expect too much. If the results do not match expectations, in the end we will not profit, we will even lose, instead of being happy we will be sad.
That's right, maybe people see other people's wins and luck when gambling so they have excessive expectations. the fact that someone else is winning is a temptation that drives us to gamble excessively.
Expecting profit from gambling isn't that wrong in it's entirety but then we know it's at some point wrong to want to keep lol your hopes and expectations on gambling profit because it will possible turn against you and you will have nothing to do or say as about it than to just bear it as one of the experiences you get as a gambler.

It's actually wrong to think that because at some point others did gamble and it turned out in their favor so you gamble too nd put all hopes thinking that it will most likely be same for you meanwhile you have almost no idea about how that person were able to get that lucky or how they went about it any that's we know that they do edit fake betting slips and post so as to get attentions to their predictions platforms and gain more followership and community. So not all betting slip posted are real.
Once we do touch up gambling then the primary thing that we do have in mind is that you would really be able to make yourself making those profits on which its true that it isnt really that bad or something that would
really be that expected for someone to have in mind since it cant really be able to resist that our minds is already wary about losing and winning thing. This is why our actions would really be reflecting out on whats
up into your minds on which it is really that a common approach thing if we do speak dealing with gambling. Gamble for fun on which this is something that you should really be aiming
on and not for the profit that it would really be giving out because it would really be just that make you desperate if you do have this kind of approach.

This something wrong with his promoter as he hasn't been rumored getting a fight this year. If he is on the right promoter, they should know that creating hype this early would help sell the fight, but unfortunately there's no rumors yet as to who he'll fight next.

Don't blame his promoter but the whole team. They created the mess in the first place on why they end up in their current status.

They also tried to settle fights with top-ranked boxers, like for example with Nery, but these boxers didn't want to fight Casimero.

They should go again inking an agreement with a non popular boxer just for sake of being an active boxer.


well, casimero himself made this path for himself. if he was up to every fight way back, he should have already faced inoue before. but due to being overweight for his supposedly fight and other factors, some of his previous fights were canceled.
And that shows that he's too careless and at the same time he do have that kind of confidence on why he had messed up and this is something a behavior on which you shouldn't really be that tending to do
when you do have that upcoming match. This is why those are really indeed those missed opportunities on fight Inoue as one of those results. So its his mistake on really just that too confident
and some people do really hate up his trashtalker behavior. I dont know if this fight would really be pushed through or not. Is this fight arrangement final?
603  Economy / Gambling / Re: What would you like to ask a crypto casino owner? on: February 16, 2024, 11:30:34 PM
Hi everyone!

I have arranged an interview with the owner of a crypto casino (I will not disclose the brand name yet).

I think the interview will be more interesting if I add questions that other gamblers are interested in to my questions.

So, if you would like to ask anything, drop your questions here.

The interview will be posted here, so you won't miss answers to your questions.
1. How much capital you would really be needing on building an online casino? From design/functions until to marketing?
2. How much you do generate per day?
3. What are the challenges that you do commonly be able to experience on running on this business?
4. Is there any moments or times that someone won up an amount that resulting into nearly bankruptcy?  Cheesy

Some might be asking out technical stuffs but these are mine the ones i do like on which those answers would be.
604  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Risking 1% in Gambling on: February 16, 2024, 10:59:33 PM
gamblers who have a mediocre income would be better advised to continue learning to control themselves consistently with all the rules that have been planned by themselves, as you said, using 1%-5% will not cause big problems as long as they are committed to their own rules.
and several things that must be paid attention to are not only about self control but also always learning to get used to the mind not to expect to win large amounts from gambling so that when gambling using a small budget, a small gambler can enjoy every bet he makes.
because if a gambler doesn't get used to thinking positively, self control will definitely be difficult because it all starts from the mind.

and actually there are many more ways to be consistent and make good use of the planned budget, such as betting in the right places and betting small amounts is one way to manage that 1% budget well.
such as choosing to bet on sports betting with small bets and being able to bet every day with small amounts compared to having to bet on casino games which are usually difficult to stop betting when very comfortable with the game.
When gambling, everyone must learn to control themselves so they don't gamble excessively and can avoid big problems. And using 1%-5% of their income will not be a problem as long as they can control themselves when gambling. They must continue to follow their rules so that they can enjoy their gambling games and can also keep them conscious when playing gambling. But for gamblers with a mediocre income, it is not recommended to gamble too often because it will confuse them about managing their finances. That is why they need to make rules for gambling so that they can still fulfil their daily needs and also gamble comfortably. They will also get used to not using a lot of money so as not to cause problems.

As long as they can remain conscious when gambling, they will be fine at gambling so they can bet using the money they can afford. They will not try to gamble more than they can afford because they know it will only make them lose a lot of money if they try to deposit more money. Those who are aware of the risks of gambling do not want to spend a lot of money, especially if it is just to chase the win because they have seen what impact they will receive if they do that. It would not be feasible for them because their income is not very large so they really limit their gambling activities carefully.
Control is crucial but almost every gambler do really fail into this one.  Cool

Speaking about percentage then 1% is really just that small not unless if you do have that huge earning per month then this would really be that considerable but still not that much.
The main point on here is that you should really know and be aware on the spending that you are making with gambling and not really goes into the point that you are risking those funds
which arent supposed to be used on gambling.

Moderation and control would really be crucial into these moments or times on which this is something that you should really be mindful.
Dont make yourself that too hopeful on winning because it would really be just making you desperate.
605  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to manage gambling winnings on: February 16, 2024, 10:33:10 PM
Every gambler should have management that has been planned, instead of doing useless things just for the sake of an achievement that is very impossible to get, they are not satisfied with the existing winnings and risk all the winnings to get bigger one.
Hahaha, this is an attitude that really brings gamblers close to regret and they will become gamblers who just waste money without having the opportunity to enjoy it.

Unfortunately, most of us do not set any plan when we start our gambling session. We gamble blindly and we expect another big win after we hit something big. That is what we call greed. If we set a plan when we start the session like, I will take $100 profit and end the session, it could have been more organized and we would have been able to control ourself.

Unfortunately, we blindly start the session and when we win a hundred bucks, we expect to win another hundred bucks. We must have a goal that if my balance reaches that amount, I will cash it out and stop for today. Unfortunately, most of us do not do that.

Yes and they are the ones who are so focused on winning that all they think about is "how can I win" without thinking about anything that leads to preventive measures to minimize the possibility of losing more. On the other hand I am not saying that by practicing greed you will always lose, no matter if you are lucky enough then you can win the amount you want but the fact and the unfortunate thing is that overall greed more often makes gamblers end up with regret or stress due to not being able to accept the fact that what they expected did not happen.

Simply put gambling addicts will never be satisfied with whatever amount they manage to win, because this is a typical gambler where when they win they will be greedy and when they lose they will be even more curious, so there is absolutely no good situation for them, and I think they are just waiting for the time to finally run out of all the treasures they have and only then can they usually realize when they really feel deep trauma.
Humans are naturally greedy and this is why we do really missed out on those basic stuffs even just as simple as on stopping gambling when we are on profits but instead people would really be that playing further more on which this is resulting on losing up big time and this is why it would really be that best that you should really be mindful about on the actions that you are making. Just like been said by others that people would really be just that planning to make those changes on the time that they would really be that experiencing those hardship and not really tending to do it earlier so that they would
really be able to avoid those hard situations in life specially in talking about money or finances. If you are really just that wise then you would definitely do those basic stuffs.
606  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Escape Debt with Gambling: A Dangerous Cycle on: February 16, 2024, 09:59:23 PM
The name of gambling is full of uncertainty, so only fools who gamble beyond the budget limit are ready to lose it, and place bets from borrowed money. Moreover, if you take a loan from a loan shark, the interest rate is very high, it can reach 20-30%. It's really stupid because this will only increase the losses experienced. Connecting with loan sharks will only make us suffer more.
"lending money to a gambling addict is the same as encouraging his bad behavior to continue." And I think you have the right to refuse this request, because we are not super heroes who can help everyone. so you don't need to hesitate to reject it and say "sorry I can't help you." although maybe later your friends will feel disappointed and then hate you. because sometimes we also need to be a little selfish for our own good. "Stop...!! feeling bad" because we also need to pay attention to ourselves.
Firstly why would some one even go and get loan from a loan shark only to use such to gamble a d hope that they will be able to payback probably from the profit they will be making from their gambling profits, it's very unreasonable to even think of such a thing that you will gamble with money you borrowed and then be able to repay.

Gambling even with the best strategy doesn't guarantee a 20-30% profit so I don't understand how some one will risk such when they know they will not be able to make it because gambling doesn't give assurance in any of such forms so why then will you take such risk, it's absolutely foolish a d not reasonable to get a loan for the purpose of gambling, if it's to invest in a profitable and promising business that can be acceptable but for gambling it's totally out of it.
Actually these are the most foolish things that you would be doing.

1. Gamble with loan money
2. Selling out property to gamble
3. Risking your savings or emergency funds
4. All in with your monthly salary

On the time that you would really be doing such actions then you are just basically putting up yourself on such great trouble.
This is why it would really be that important that you should really be that be wary on the things that you are dealing with and act accordingly
on which you do know that you cant really be able to make yourself having such bad decisions.
607  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction causes loss on: February 16, 2024, 09:38:38 PM
He said that he had nearly 64k dollars as a loss in the gambling site.In order to recover that 64k dollars,he keeps on betting from all his economic resources.I had advice him to use only 20 percentage of salary to get away from entire gambling loss.But he is now repeating the same 100 percentage of income from weekly,biweekly and monthly.So he was in the big loan problem.Still he is arranging funds from loan to play gambling,because he think that the recovery was possible at the place where he lost his money.What will be your suggestion for my friend to recover from the gambling addiction.
This approach is very wrong because your friend is just chasing after his losses and Truly speaking he will never get to recover those money with his attitude and with this kind of approach he's using towards recovering his money if he doesn't take it lightly. The more he tries to play with the aim of recovering his losses, the more likely he would even lose more, I would advise him to forget about those losses, and start a new life or calm down and give himself some amount of time before he would start over again.
Chasing loses is never been good or ideal in the first place specially when you are dealing with gambling. You are really just that putting yourself in harm in speaking about gambling dealing.
Addiction what makes things even more worst on which it comes into a point that you would really be that losing big time or something that you didnt expect that you would really be coming into that point in life.
Losing up so much money due to addiction is common and this is why it would really be always best that you should really be responsible when dealing up with gambling.
Gamble for fun and not for money then you would be just fine. Set out limitations and set out those kind of patience and emotion handling because this is where people usually mess up.
608  Economy / Gambling / Re: Finding a Bug on: February 16, 2024, 09:06:10 PM
Most Casinos will only accept a report if it has a viable security impact with a PoC and not a general report from a scanner tool.

I'd recommend asking the casino if they have a private bug-bounty program either internally or externally (i.e, operated by BugCrowd, HackerOne, intigriti)
I think if you follow the thread you will read all what OP wanted to elaborate here because he had given everything and even telling the people here what had happened and his only demand is at least a THANK YOU for what have he done for the team , take not the Money because we all need this at appreciation for what have you done good is for me a better giving here.
Sorry for the heads up on this one but i cant really just that easily accept that someone who do found a bug would really be just liking to have or get some THANKS.
Of course you would really be expecting something for some bounty based up on what you have found. The sad part when you do find an exploit which even if you do saw that its a major
one, you dont really receive any something in return but well they could really be able just simply tell you that the bug you have found is really just that minimal or something that critical.
Is there something you can do? of course none.
609  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why in some religion gambling is forbidden? on: February 16, 2024, 08:53:23 PM
Yeah, if the laws are from the state then there's no way that we can alter it and if it will be, there's a due process for it to go on.
Whilst for the laws from the churches, they can make changes anytime they wish as long as their council agrees with that and the process won't be that long.
That's why to whatever perspective you are looking that, IMHO, the important thing is you gamble your own money and you control your own life.

It depends on the religion and government/constitution you take as example for it, there are religions and branches of religions which are pretty much inflexible to the changes of their doctrines, not matter what the councils say. For example, lately the Roman Catholic Church has been more flexible to people who identify themselves as part of the LGBTQ collective, but Jehová Witnesses do not agree with it and continue to be pretty much against the existence of homosexual marriage, adoption or the existence of rights of the homosexual people in society. On the other hand, there are countries where it is pretty much easy to change civil laws, as long as there is enough support from the people to pressure lawmakers to do so.
It would be easy to lax even further tax on gambling earnings on the United States than convincing people within the Ismalic world about the individual freedom we all have and having them to gamble with no problem on their believes.
Religion is very difficult to deal with and can be very inflexible, specially Islam, people of that religion take the words of the Koran to the letter, literally and some who have been radical from their childhood would never gamble and would even condemn anyone in their family if ever caught gambling, it is different in Christianity. In Christianity is possible to even an adulterer to be given forgiveness.
I agree about those church that don't change a lot with their laws and even there's a council or there's the consensus for that change, it won't be that easy.
But those are like a few that have been established for so long and that's why no matter what changes they wanna do like allowing to gamble for just some few amounts, it won't be changed.
Still, it's on the people whether to take on those laws seriously if they're devoted but of course about the government laws, they should be devoted on it at all times.
Whether its literal a government law or church law or rules then it wont really be an assurance that people would really be following up these things on which they would really be that playing no matter
what and this is would really be according into their own interest and preference on which we do know that this is something that will really be that depending on a certain person.
No one could really be able to stop those people on dealing up with something even if its prohibited or not really that allowed, as long they could be able to see those things or paths
then this is where people would really be playing no matter what. Neither it could be sin or unlawful or whatsoever then they dont really care about it.
610  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's The Weirdest Alibi Of Gamblers So They Can Continue Gambling? on: February 16, 2024, 08:39:32 PM
"almost won"
I often hear this, it happens when they lose and run out of capital. When they lose and gamble again they reason "almost won". and this also happens when they lose and run out of capital and borrow from friends who are both gamblers for the reason that they are almost winning too, I think this is ridiculous, when they almost win and lose, it doesn't mean they have to gamble again because it doesn't that's right.

In fact, I'm sure all gamblers have their own reasons why they gamble continuously, whether because of a hobby, almost winning, or because they want to get rid of their curiosity, but what is clear in my opinion is that they are thirsty for the victory at gambling that they have hoped for and imagined. They don't think about the risks but only prioritize their desire to gamble.

Almost won or lose is really just that the same. Its true that there are really just that people who do really be able to control such emotion and there are ones who cant really be able to control
and this is why they do mess up their lives with gambling just because of too much engagement and being really that hopeful on things and this is something that would be messing up their lives because of it.
Its not really that bad to gamble as long you do have that control, people do usually loses up their control on the time that emotion would really be kicking in.
People would really be just that tending to stop on the time that they would really be losing that huge money on the moment that they cant be able to spend up anymore.
611  Economy / Gambling / Re: Does anyone find the spate of online casinos a bit uninspired? on: February 16, 2024, 08:13:20 PM
The increase in casinos is what have made the gambling market have more visibility and also making a reach out to more gamblers compared to what we used to have when the online gambling have not achieved this current level of exposure and popularity.
So for me, the spat of online casinos is something that I am really encouraged and happy about and at some point we have to accept the fact that the introduction of those casinos will only impact in more positive ways than the negative which the thread may have missed out on that fact.
I think you are right after all, it's just that as it is commonly said, that too much of everything is bad, too much of online casinos can also create problems and confusions for gamblers, as it becomes more difficult to know which it legitimate and which is not.
And for me personally, being someone who doesn't like seeing people invest money in a business and end up with nothing, that is, not profiting any thing from such business, I hate to see new casinos come up and end up not getting the attention it deserves, or getting customers to like and play on that casino, kind of breaks my heart, and makes me see having too much online casinos around as not something that should be encouraged, people should invest their money in other areas of business, not just on gambling casinos alone.
Can we say that, at this moment that we have too much casinos in the market that can possibly cause a call out as to how their presence affects the overall experience of the gambler even though we have had a pocket of complaints about some of the young growing casinos rhat have ended up scamming their users and if we should put the ratio,  you will see that the number of scam casinos is still lower to those of the legit casinos.


So to that point, we may have to check to see the effects of the new casinos before we call them as bad actors in the industry.

When I see many casinos on the market I get a good impression, because they are companies, they are emerging, in some way they cause a lot of progress , work , New things that come , but in the sense of honesty and legality , because they can slair many casinos, just like there are on the Internet , but they are fridulous casinos and they don't have much to offer other than stealing, when they are casinos and sites that come out because I don't like them, they are Casinos that are really giving Everything so that things don't Work out.

So when we try to do things Right , they Simply come Out with things or Accounts that don't correspond to me, these things are very general because what catches my attention, the Avalanche of casinos? Well, it's more competition between the Casinos, what do I mean they force them to give more benefits to their players, so this is Something I like, because is that going to bore me ? On the Contrary, let more casinos come to the forum.

The more the better, right? Whenever we do see something new and have those kind of similarities with those current existing then we would definitely be having those impressions that it is really just that something boring and make out those assumptions that it is really just that the same when it comes to game offering but there would really be those people who would really be testing it out and this is where they would really be making out those conclusions whether its just worth to transfer or it would really be just that the same when it comes in overall functionality and offering.
So it would really be just that depending into that kind of approach. There are ones who are really that too picky on where they would really be playing about. So its a personal preference.
612  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does casino streamers have influence in your gambling life? on: February 16, 2024, 07:52:05 PM
He can indeed get even bigger wins if he continues gambling, but there is a risk that he has to bear. But as long as the gambler can accept all the risks, he can continue gambling and will not regret it if he experiences a big loss. That's what makes many gamblers think about continuing their gambling activities, and they will even increase their bets because they want to win big. Some gamblers succeed in getting big wins, but many fail to get them, so they only experience big losses. If gamblers can be responsible for their gambling activities, they will be able to control themselves and restrain their desire to gamble because they know that continuing to gamble could result in defeat. Those who watch the streamer's broadcasts will not be tempted to follow what the streamer is doing because they know it will only risk losing money, so they will just watch it or move to another streamer that is more entertaining. Only with a strong intention can they be able to break away from watching gambling streamers and choose to continue trying to be responsible gamblers so that they can enjoy gambling as entertainment.

What you say is true because having what you mentioned can make them become responsible gamblers when they gamble and will not try to exceed the limits they set. They already understand that there are risks they have to accept if they choose to continue gambling. They will try to avoid problems, especially the problem of losing more money because they have seen what happens to other gamblers.
We all know that the reality that cannot be avoided is that gambling is the riskiest place in many ways and gambling has bad impact on anyone who cannot take care of themselves well.
But this is not the fault of gambling, but this is the fault of the gamblers themselves who are careless and stupid in their approach or mindset in gambling, lest we who are small gamblers can be classified or become part of such gamblers.
There will be phases or conditions that are not easy for every gambler to get through, this will always be related to defeat, emotional, psychological and also pressure from several things that are happening and we must always be prepared for all of this.
What we understand or digest from whatever we hear or see must be accountable, meaning that we must not be influenced by all of that if it is not good for ourselves.
If we don't care about it ourselves, then most likely there will only be difficulties, problems and also destruction that will be the end of the story that we experience in gambling.
Talking generally about decisions in life then it would really be just that totally depending on your own choice and with your own insights and its impossible that you cant really be able to assess which one is good and which one is bad. Results or outcomes would really be that depending on which are the things that you have chosen.Just like on what i have said that choices in life will really be a determining factor whether you would really be ending up positive or negatively. On this condition about streamers then it would really be on someones choice whether they would really be that following or idolize those person
on which we know that seeing their balance which are obviously been sponsored or funded. So this is why its not shocking that they do have big balance, on the time that you do try to mimic them
then you would be ending up or resulting into making huge deposits and later on busting it all up.
613  Other / Off-topic / Re: Is addiction bad only when it is a problem? on: February 16, 2024, 07:35:23 PM
So I am need to know, is addiction only bad when it is a problem?
Regardless of whether you are addicted or not, causing bad results is already a problem. And usually when people use the word addiction for any problem, it usually leads to bad outcomes or affects others. The aspect you mentioned about an addict can manage their money, I think that is not addiction, because when addicted, it is very difficult to use reason to control everything, especially with money.
Playing in control is not an addiction, but simply liking it and spending a lot of time on it, in my opinion. It is very easy to distinguish between addiction and non-addiction. When you risk everything to gamble even though you have no more money, or even do illegal things to get money to gamble, that is addiction. On the contrary, if you run out of money, you quit and don't continue playing, it's not an addiction.
Yes, we do see that there are those people who arent that addicted but still ending up on having those problems like losing up a huge amount of money because they have made some all-in bets on the time that they do gamble and this is something like suicide thing to be done on which there's no way that you could really be able to make yourself that be able to avoid if you have done it just earlier.
Addiction does basically means that you are already involving yourself into such activity on excessive manner on which it would be common sense that you wont really be caring about on how much you have
lost already on doing such activity specially in gambling. Any forms of addiction is always been that bad because you would really be doing things on excessive manner.

Good day guys, how is the gambling industry helping you this period?

However I just want to say that in the game world gamblers are always there to bet and the important thing here is when a gambler can not risk he also can not win, true or false?
Do not allow this "you can not win if you  you do not risk" to deceive to make you feel that gambling is all about risk and it doesn't matter with the amount which you play  with. Yes gambling is all about risk but you don't have to risk the amount you can't afford to lose, you don't have to play to risk all the money you have in your account just because you think gambling is all about risk.  Manage your risk and play with amount you are sure thst even if you lose is not gonna affect you financially and mentally.


Rockstarguy it may not be entirely deception in some, form because without the risk there is no rewards and what we should warn others for is to make sure that we risk only what we can afford to lose and fine fine with, although what Rockstarguy siad is right about not taking the risk to another level and not making the right risk approach. Because some gamblers who lack the right knowledge of the concept of risk, and how to take a calculated risk will take this statement to mean an automatic access to winning when you take the risk, so for that will just jump in on the game by taking risk that could become unbearable for the gambler at some time.
The only thing on which i could really be able to apply this line is through investment and not in gambling:
"No risk,No reward" ?

Of course you wont really be that making yourself that progressive if you wont really be making out such decision or actions on which it is really need up to take risks
for you to earn money but since we are talking about gambling on here then the risks we are talking is much more higher than on the rate of winning that we could possibly be able to take.
So in general perspective then it doesnt really fit out into such criteria i should say.
615  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The person who can’t control emotions in gambling will never earn money from it on: February 16, 2024, 06:46:18 PM
Earning money should not be the motive of gambling but still a large part of the gambler follow the wrong path. I think gambling will lead to loss rather than gain for those who view gambling differently or lose control over gambling. When a gambler starts gambling, he can control himself a little, but after a long time, he can no longer control his emotions. He cannot be normal until he loses all his money. Gambling is not the only emotion, those who cannot control the greed will suffer. Gambling will be much easier for those who know and understand these things.
99% do definitely follow the wrong path i should say and this is something that must be avoid in the first place.Although i could say that it is really that something that not all would really be able to
follow due to those kind of thoughts in mind that gambling could make them rich and able to make huge amount of money in a short span of time. This is the main thing or emotions that you would be able to feel
out and this is something that you would really be tending to pull through when it comes to gambling. This is why self control and having those realistic thinking about certain conditions are really that
something which is important because if you do find yourself that a bit delusional then you would be coming up with those bad decisions specially in dealing with gambling.

If the addicted ones would really be just that inside the family then of course you do really know about its behavior or simply its character on which you would be able to assess whether you would really be taking that harsh approach or would really be sticking into that gentle one but just like been said that it would really be always best that you should really be starting with the gentle one on which you could really be able to make yourself that at least make that someone cant be able to feel that they are really that been choked out or something that been scolded because we know that once an addicted person would be having those kind of impressions then situations might come worst because they might be ending up on playing up more and something that cant be stopped. If things cant be fight off with advises then this is where professional
seek of help would really be that recommended.

Think about the situation from following point: what is the age when a person is allowed to work and operate with money? I think with parents allowance, kids from 14 are allowed to have a none 8h working day. If I am not mistaken, they can work 4 or 6 hours. And in my country I think starting from 16 they are allowed to operate with money (cash desk, terminal). This refers to kids at summer selling ice cream. If from 14 or 16 they are allowed to earn officially, why wouldnt they be allowed to gamble? Isnt it wrong that they can not decide themselves what they can do with money they earned? Moreover, if we take +18 as a starting point, then a person at any age above it can make a reckless bet. So it isnt only about reckless, unexperienced, innocent and trustful kid and gambling.

I think he is just using the +18 age because that’s the average legal age globally but anyone can gamble even lower 18 if that is the legal age set of the country. There’s a country that has a legal age below 18 which means gambling is allowed already for them.

But if you are pertaining to underage that just have a temporary work due to side hustle job then I disagree since it’s illegal even if they earn own money. Law will always govern even if you are earning your own money through job.
And with the technology that we do have today on which we know that minors or below 18 could already be able to deal up with gambling on which there's no way that it could really be detected out
since we can do gambling in the convenience of our own mobile phone and as a parent then it would really be that so hard to detect out if our kids is really that involving into something like this
which it would really be just that right that we should really be that vigilant if ever we do see some hints or ever we do see some unusual activities that they've been dealing off with.

18-21 years old is considered to be a legal age on which those kids would turn out to be matures and they are allowed on drinking, cigarretes or even going into those night clubs.
Lots of things to be unlocked and allowed but actually those kids could still get involved even if they wont be able to reach out those numbers.

Yes, and in my opinion, the only people we can fully trust are our parents or other close relatives, as they are the only ones who know us well enough to fully understand even the smallest problems we may have. However, I believe that if we disclose it to others who are not family members, we may open ourselves up to people who could turn on us or have malicious motives. Additionally, it's possible that some people are merely reaching out to you because they know you win big at gambling or have a profitable business. In this case, they're more likely to try to build a personal relationship with you in order to ask for a favor or take advantage of another opportunity to gain anything from you. Therefore, it's crucial that we only tell our closest family members about our victories since they are the ones who can honestly advise us on whether the path that we are going to take is right or wrong.
We can tell our parents or family members who are close to us about the problems we face so they can start helping and finding solutions for us. We have to open ourselves up to accept their presence and start telling them about our problems so that it won't make it difficult for them to find a solution. If we can't open up, it will be difficult for them to know the real situation that is happening to us so it will also be difficult for them to find a solution. But to talk about our win, we should also not tell people we don't know closely because we don't know what will happen, and we should only tell our win to the people closest to us and celebrate it with them. But we also don't need to tell them about our winnings in gambling, especially if later there is a misunderstanding of our story and we just invite them to have fun without telling them about our winnings. By telling people close to us about our moments of win, we will avoid people who want evil or unkind intentions towards us so that we don't have to think about it.
Easy to say but if you are already on such condition or situation then you would definitely be ashamed on the condition that you are into.When you do win up on gambling then it would really be just that depending on you whether you would really be securing your profits into something which is worth. I do agree that when the time comes that you are really that mindful about having some other source of income then you would be thinking on having those investment kind of spending with those winnings but just like on what most people been saying on here on which i do agree that majority of those gamblers would really be
using back those winnings into the house and aiming for more. One of the main reasons on why gambling industry is really that profitable due into this kind of behavior.

Be careful who and where you talk about your success in gambling, you may just be encouraging an addicted gambler to continue.

I'm not sure anyone is truly successful at gambling. What often happens is that we lose and then win, lose again, win again, lose again, win again, it's like a repeating cycle. For gamblers, losing and winning are normal things, and I believe that when someone gets a big win, there must be a big loss behind it.

So actually there is no problem sharing the winnings, in fact usually someone asks for a tip if someone shares the winnings so they prefer to keep quiet so that no one asks for a tip.  Cheesy
Its an endless cycle and this is something that we should really be that thinking about and this is something that we should really be treating up this way on which there's really those winning moments but with those loses are even more. It would really be just that common that there would really be those people who would really be boasting out their winnings into public as if they are really that true winners
on this space and someone who do really just that making those simple reactions on which we know that as a human being then it would really be just that normal on having those reactions.
We do really mean that much but its not our fault if we do make out some inspirations into other people since its their decisions on how they do play. You arent forcing them and this is why
i dont see such issues.

Yes as I said above that even though they have a fairly responsible personality in real life but honestly I really wouldn't fully believe that they could be a responsible person if they were involved in gambling activities, this is another thing that raises another speculation and I have already mentioned my disbelief when they are involved in gambling. Gambling is a place that will have a bad impact on irresponsible people and gambling can also be a trap for those who are basically responsible in real life.

All the ideas that I said before that lead to preventive measures are all none other than my own experience, before that I once asked one of my friends who had already gambled to teach me how to gamble, he asked me "are you sure you want to get involved in gambling, think carefully" and I instantly said "Yes", and after that I was really in a bad situation where I lost balance in my finances which in the end I really realized that I shouldn't have asked my friend to teach me how to gamble, Although I don't blame them but still the bad impact is really felt by me and this is the reason why I really will never promote or teach someone to gamble, it is too risky especially for beginners who are really new to this activity or the elderly who should enjoy their old age with fun that does not involve risk.

You could be responsible even if you do even engage with gambling. The main issue on here is that someone do loses up their control along the process on which on the time that they would really be engaging with gambling is that they do lost off track and would really be that being impulsive along the process. This is why i dont really like myself to be that to have those kind fo introductions or recommendations on playing gambling because i dont really like for someone to mess up their lives because of me specially with those elderly.

Just let them on doing on the things that they are that tending to do so, we do have different interest in life on which it is really just that right
just leave them alone and would really be that having no recommendation on things so that there would be no regrets or conscience that would be pushing you onwards.


 Yes, that is the case, because gambling is very likely to change a person's character and personality, as I said that my prediction could be something that is very likely to eventually happen, which is where someone who has responsibilities in his real life cannot be denied that it will be possible for them to eventually fall into the wrong approach to gambling, We must understand that gambling is an activity that can stimulate your brain and mind because there is a chance of winning there that is always difficult for most gamblers to ignore and this is what can make gamblers change over time without them realizing when they are really in a situation that makes them lose control.

To be honest, I do not discourage anyone from recommending anything to others, especially the elderly, but before that I hope you try to consider first about the negative and positive impacts that exist in something you want to recommend, if there are indeed bad effects that are far greater than the fun then obviously avoid it and look for other alternatives that do not have serious risks.
Each person is unique and different and when it comes to age then we cant really say that older people are really that having that easy change of mood and personality but to expect then they would really be on this way and it is really just that right that you should really be tending to avoid those things on which we know that it would be something influencing for them to do the bad or wrong decisions. The thing i dont like
on having those recommendations is that i dont really like on getting blamed in the end and i dont really like the feeling that i have seen someone who had messed up their lives just because of the things that
you have recommended and as we do all know that even those old people are  retired and having that money that they could play with, it would never be appealing for us to see that they are losing that much.
