Rich gamble because it's a hobby they can afford. Imagine being able to attend to a casino like the ones you see from movies which display Las Vegas. Why wouldn't you go there? It's not only about making money, but about the status, entertainment and welfare for being in a fancy place. It's a complete experience many people would like to try if they had the opportunity to.
It's one way how they socialize with people on their same level. They gamble to find more connections and talk not just about gambling but even future investments as well. Let's face it, rich people have rich mindset as well, and they could learn from one another if they attend casinos where most of the rich individuals come to play and have fun. They see an opportunity with gambling casinos. Aside from fun and entertainment, they also see it as a good opportunity to make bigger flow of income.

So my advice is to work with someone who doesn't use leverage and who has a real verification track record.
People who are new to trading usually use signals from trading experts. Although they don't give the signals for free but charge some money instead. But if you want, you can see their track record and contact them very easily. Also every trader uses leverage, if you don't like to use leverage then invest. But those who are interested in trading by watching different videos, they should be most careful because not all influencers are trade experts. And they provide someone else's signal. Can an experienced trader guarantee you a win? Or if someone is experienced in trading, it doesn't mean that he always profits from trading; they also lose a lot. They keep it a secret from everyone. They share profit videos because everyone thinks that if they follow their signal, they have no sure shot at profit. I never trade based on these social media videos because they are unrealistic, and scripted videos are just made for newbie traders. Not a small amount of money, they sell these signals at very high prices, and after buying their service, you can no longer contact them, and they can even block you. I have received much feedback from signal buyers. So I think, without believing these videos, analyze yourself. Start trading by following your own strategies. Why do we need to spend for others to be in profits without having guarantees that we will definitely be in profits as well? The moment we buy those trading signals, we are already at loss. Why? Because there is no sure thing with it, while we give them sure profits, but leaving us still trading having no certain outcome. And mostly, once we rely from other providers, we are trading at a loss. The best solution is that we need to trade on our own and learn on our own. There's no wrong with trading from scratch, if that will also lead us to self-improvement and progress, until we find ourselves gained confidence in trading.

Same here, but I doubt the odds will be high even if Spurs is the underdog. It think the odds will be close to even.
I just wish the odds will stay high, because that means those who bet on the Spurs will get a better return if they somehow win the series. What I think is, if the Spurs can beat OKC, then they will likely win the NBA championship. Because as we can all see, Wemby is just unstoppable. He was in foul trouble in Game 3, but he still managed to survive and even hit big shots in the 4th quarter. How can you stop a very tall guy who is also very consistent with his outside shooting? He had 39 points, 15 rebounds, and 5 blocks. That is already MVP-type numbers, and it was even more impressive because of his high shooting percentage, 13 out of 18 from the field.

We don't get the opportunity to win by overthinking it, with either coming by luck or by the skill we have shown in playing to deserve it, this is where we must know the game we are playing and try to analyze it well with an understanding that we have towards it, so that our expectation to either win or lose we also align together as we play and we won't take any outcome of it being personal.
OP seems to have stopped overthinking, since he has not made a post anymore after his prediction lost. Well, maybe he realized now that making early conclusions can lead to bad decisions. The only way we can really prove that we are profitable in sports betting is if our long-term results can back it up, not just one or two lucky wins. What I read is still the most applicable in real life, but honestly, not many of us have actually applied it properly or achieved the result we wanted. Most of the time, we know the right approach, but we still fail because our emotion and confidence get ahead of our discipline.

It's hard to quit when you are still in a winning streak, as much as possible, you don't want to miss the opportunity that you could win more if you continue betting. Simply put, you want to earn more while you think you still have the luck to make you win.
However, there are still some few, highly disciplined gamblers that when they reach their goal, they immediately leave the casino. They don't want to chase their luck, as much as they want to avoid those inevitable losses that mostly happen next after a winning streak. Gambling can be uncertain, but this is one thing I'm sure of, the casino won't allow you to constantly win, that's why after winning, losing comes next.

Is owning a house now a liability? If so, how do you shift your mentality of dreaming of owning a house to just renting? There’s pros and cons each to renting and owning a house. But I have heard that younger people nowadays prefer renting over actually buying a house. Because of mobility being the priority. Plus, a house is only profitable once you sell it. But otherwise it’s stagnant.
This is only a perspective from my country. Is it the same for others? Is permanence now a bad thing?
Your first house is your security. Your 2nd, 3rd and so on - are investments. That's it. Younger people don't "choose to rent", they just can't afford anything else. "Choosing" to rent when you actually CAN afford a house because you think the market is overpriced is basically shorting it while your rent payments are like funding to keep your short position open and that involves typical risks. Let's face it, buying house is highly expensive these days, but its still necessary to secure one. Not for investment, but for family shelter and security. Now, if you can't afford it yet, renting might be an option, but its only for temporary, not forever. However, reality is, what is temporary becomes forever especially for low-income people. Not because they want it, but because they have no choice left either. If only they have all the money, they can buy not just one but two or three, for their own home, and for other's renters home.

Whether this price is a joke or not, but I'm sure it's a joke, but I won't be spending that outrageous amount just to witness the events in live. Money is so much precious these days that I can't afford to spend it for the sake of World Cup alone, but I'd be more willing to risk it and add more bitcoin into my portfolio.
Maybe I'll just wait for another World Cup in the future and will buy price at the website earlier, maybe I can avail a much affordable price, not like this where the current price seems to be overpriced, if not for FIFA, then maybe this decision is coming from those big merchants who were able to secure tickets early and sell them in an outrageous price.

The fact that there is house edge, then its normal for us to think that the casino is playing against us. Though I've got no clear basis, but I can see that casinos are designed to make us lose so they can start increasing their revenues. They are running a business, in order to sustain their profits, they have to go against us especially when bigger bets are on the line.
But the thing is, they don't exposed this kind of reality, but if we know how to read between the lines, then we will understand their real nature of business. That's probably the reason why no matter how we try to get aligned with them, it will never be possible.

Because it is the reality about traders. Trading will never give them instant outcome and quick profits. They might suffer losses first especially if they are still inexperienced traders. And that's normal for any trader, but if they won't stop and find means to develop more skills and enhance their strategies, perfect their attitudes towards trading, making money with trading will eventually happen when the right time comes.
Trading has always been a high risky activity and not all traders can be successful and profitable. But if you think you have all the potentials to become a great trader someday, just work for it, despite of some losses that are still manageable on your part.

Both are smart enough if they have the ability to win consistently. But as a gambler, I can tell that the bettor who prefer to bet small oftentimes is quite smarter because he had set betting limits that would not ruin his bankroll, and when luck hits him, the amount of what he won will even exceed to cover up all his losses, and can even save some of it for his future plans in life.
While the other bettor who prioritize betting big, I don't think if winning big still matter to him, what he needs is a miracle to win the jackpot amount so he can still profit even a little of it.

Would it be a loss more of our freedom if we insist to use it as a medium of exchange when all we want to do is to invest and make future profits? So far, that is what majority want about bitcoin, that's why they took the risk to buy bitcoin not to save so they can spend in the future, but to hold for long term and make valuable profits when it is needed the most, or when retirement comes.
Bitcoin still offers us the freedom, but the way our freedom speaks is not the same with what Satoshi wants. He is more on financial freedom and get rid of third parties, but the financial freedom we want is to live our life the way we want without being constrained by financial limitations or panic.

This is true, its on their socials. Even though this seems too good to be true, it is definitely true but I don't know how this will benefit Metawin because gamblers are not taking any single risk in this deal. If not that Metawin is an established casino, I would have doubted this but given their track records, it could just be a marketing strategy. Maybe they target to attract all the high rollers into their platform which is not bad for them on the long run.
It looks like a scam really especially if we don't know facts about Metawin, but since its already on their socials, everything is legit, probably their own tactic to invite new bettors, high or low, but it would be more attractive for high rollers. This is risk free play, just imagine how advantageous and profitable it is on our part, everything is win-win here. I don't know how long will this be, and how many VIPs will make it, but if all crypto casinos are as generous as Metawin, then there's no reason to miss gambling opportunities like this.

Bitcoin is not just a currency alone, but its more of a long-term asset that appreciates through long term holding than keeping it for short term gains. It's a great reminder to us that there is no shortcuts toward success, but its a combination of patience and trust, and the ability to manage emotions especially when the market isn't productive and profitable.
Bitcoin promotes financial self-sovereignty and responsibility, that teaches us to be responsible for our own security with this ''not your keys, not your coins'' mantra.
And lastly, bitcoin changed our view on material wealth, by valuing minimalism through sticking with fewer, physical depreciating things and focus on what appreciates. And its no longer about luxury, but to achieve financial freedom that bitcoin long term holding promotes.

If you are feeling this then it might be just you, I have been gambling for few years now and I've never for once experience anything that looks like shadow ban before although I've not win in the same way you described yours, maybe that's why but I believe that using popular online casinos will protect you from any maltreatment.
I've used mostly popular online casinos through the forum, and I've never had such bad experiences, not on withdrawal time or limit on multipliers, you can do us all a favour but telling us the name of the online casino that treated you this way, maybe someone on here had similar experience using the online casino?
There's always an advantage if you chose popular and reputable casinos because their treatment is always fair and no cases of shadow banning. I have been gambling for a couple of years and I only trusted those popular ones, and until now I can say I'm still satisfied with how they treat their players or customers. If you can tell us what particular casino is that, then it can provide awareness for everyone here. But I assumed the casino you're playing to is never that known and reputable, probably a no KYC casino or let's say a newly launched casino that has not yet proven its worth to its players.

if you are looking from a short-term point of view, getting rich is never possible. But if you are consistently investing through DCA, and aims to hold for long, indefinite years, that would definitely make you rich.
Take for example those early bitcoin investors, they started from scratch until they find theirselves creating wealth with bitcoin. But of course, it takes strict discipline and long stretch of patience for them not to sell in panic. And maybe an incredible faith or unwavering conviction that make them to trust bitcoin despite of its flaws, and being a high-risk asset.

Bear in mind that there are no laws or regulations that require gambling businesses to refund losses, except if they admit a specific error, but you can still try to reach out to the casino and ask them to make some considerations with your current mental and emotional state.
However, don't get your hopes up knowing it's never the casino's fault, and you know that. If you can make some 15 to 20% cashback, I think that would be a lot already. But as I've said, they are also running a business, they might still won't consider your case.

Maybe I will take a handicap with + points with Lakers because they might give a close fight but it’s hard to YOLO bet on Lakers without Luka on the active roster.
At OKC’s home court, that’s a hard spot for the Lakers. And considering the line is that high, I think it is made to attract bettors to still take the Lakers, but in reality, this could be a blowout that we will witness. If the Lakers are going to cover, I think it will be in Game 2, not in the first game of the series. Game 1 should belong to OKC, especially with their home court advantage and how strong they usually start. Well, it’s still basketball. We will never know if OKC will choke hard.
Not this game for sure.

It's certainly a scam. He won't dare to sell it if he knows its a sure draw. Instead, he will keep it on his own and place a bigger bet secretly so he can make maximum win. But selling it to make instant money is a form of scam, he will make a profit while leaving the victim suffer the loss, most especially if the victim gets convinced to place a bigger amount of bet.
If it happens to me, I will never consider buying it. I trust my own, more than other scammers around. But unfortunately, newbies still fall on this kind of scam due to greed for instant profits.

There's always a perfect timing for gambling, without even compromising your life's significant events. And not that while you're in a family's event, you are also making time for gambling, that will only get you distracted from the main event especially if you are betting at a loss.
I can sense here that gambling addiction slowly develops, because you are not in control anymore of your gambling urge. And what makes it more bad, no matter how your bet turns out, whether it will be a win or a loss, it will still get you distracted. Money can be earn again, but you can never ask for a rewind in life, especially for a very important family dinner.

For me, the very first step is that the gambler should admit first his current condition and accept the fact that he's deeply addicted to gambling and he needs someone to overcome what he's going through. From that, the idea of seeking for professional help will then enter to assess the gambler's current condition and provides expert assistance and skilled attention or care.
Its easy to enter gambling and become attached to it, but when you're already in the state of gambling addiction, its hard then to get out from that gambling problem. That 's why we need people who have specialized skills and treatments towards gambling addiction.
