If it's for the better and you know that you're playing in moderation, then why not? But losing huge of money in gambling yet you're still lying to your wife about it seems not a good idea to me. Why don't you try to be open so your wife can understand what you are up to?

It's understandable to lie to someone about our losses because we don't want to be judge. But it's a different thing if you're doing this with your partner. It involves money and it can be a reason for her to lost her trust on you.
22  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can people still get the addictive nature through friendly games on: April 23, 2024, 09:00:10 AM
So am just curious to know if these little games are the one's that got to him or already developed such habit and to know if possible that the practice will continue elsewhere after leaving there when he lost the money and to look for means through gambling to recover it.
Probably this is not the first time he experienced to lose (not limited to gambling). To think that it's just a friendly game yet he reacted that way just shows he already developed such behavior before. IMO, a friendly game can't trigger someone to become addicted, though it can open our mind to pursue gambling depending on the level of interest and if we're entertained. Thus, it can be a start to engage ourselves in gambling but it is still depends on the behavior of gambler. A friend like him who take the game seriously might face a deep problem if he decided to gamble in casino especially he is not the type who can't accept the reality of losing his money.
23  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online Gambling: Modern entertainment or highly addictive game? on: April 22, 2024, 11:48:57 PM
What is online gambling in your personal opinion? Are your feelings different from when you play traditional gambling? Does it affect your gambling habits when you play online? Please share your experiences here.
Well, playing online is a convenient way to entertain yourself. Though of course chances to become addicted is high because it is accessible anytime as long as you have internet and money to use for playing. The experience is similar to traditional, the advantage is you have a privacy and can focus more on the game since you're alone.

What I like about online casino is, it's hassle free. However, one should have a discipline because if you let yourself become addicted in gambling (since many gamblers already fall in such situation) it can ruin your life. Thus, it depends on how you gamble, because it is crucial to have a self control to be able to manage your emotion.
24  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Stopping the curse of losing streak? on: April 22, 2024, 07:14:51 AM
The defeats I experienced really made me even more curious about gambling, because there is a saying that the more often you lose, the closer you are to winning big. So I kept making deposits until I didn't realize that I had lost a lot of money and emptied my account. Even though I had experienced quite a big loss, this could not stop my curiosity about gambling. At first, so that I could continue playing, I intended to borrow money and make a deposit again, but fortunately there was someone who made me aware of this. This bad behavior is not to continue chasing losses. Until now, I have not returned to the gambling site and placed a bet. With encouragement from those closest to me, I temporarily stopped these activities indefinitely.
That's a good decision if you're not able to refrain yourself once you already made a deposit. It's really tempting to play continuously especially if you're in losing streak since you're thinking of getting back what you have lost and possibly closer to winning, as you've said. But that's not a good behavior because a gambler should not set high hopes when playing. When you lose, accept the fact and move on. It's crucial to not dwell in the past to have a fresh start (this is if you still want to continue playing despite the past losses).
25  Economy / Gambling / Re: Casinos not asking for KYC to register and play, but do require it to withdraw on: April 20, 2024, 10:14:56 PM
It has become a way for casinos to request full customer identification. However, the customers will think it is all just a plan by the casino to cheat them. Casinos should ask their customers to do KYC when they first register before depositing money.
Some casinos are doing this already (recommending their players to do KYC before playing) but it's still up to the gambler since there's always an option to do it later. Moreover, many of us think it's not necessary because you're not even certain if you can gain something when you already gamble your money on that particular casino. Thus, better to choose always a reputable site and take time to conduct a reviews of other gamblers so this way even you are asked to do KYC, less worries for the worse case to happen when you submit your information. But of course the risk is always there.
26  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: THERE ARE TWO THINGS INVOLVED on: April 20, 2024, 03:38:51 AM
In my opinion, the key to enjoying gambling is to see it as a form of entertainment rather than a way to make money. By setting strict limits on how much you’re willing to lose and sticking to those limits, you can enjoy the thrills without putting yourself at risk of major financial setbacks. Enjoying the wins when they come, but not letting the losses drag you down.
That's how it should be. Set limit on how much to spend and stick to it. Don't go beyond that, otherwise you'll experience the consequence of not controlling yourself. Greed is also one of the factor on why some gamblers (who became fortunate to win a decent) still end up losing it all. It's because of their greed for wanting more thinking the result will be the same again.

Thus, it's better to play just for fun and not to profit as main desire. Because if the latter is the reason why you keep on playing, you'll just pressure yourself while not noticing you already go beyond your limit on how much money you can only afford to spend.
27  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can we help beginners not to get addicted on: April 19, 2024, 10:13:47 PM
I think majority of people who are addicted to gambling is because they do not understand gambling as beginners, the rules and the side effects of playing gambling excessively.
They do not understand or they let themselves be drown in gambling believing that they can gain huge. Because this is the usual reason of gamblers who became addicted. They can't stop playing, unable to control themselves due to this desire of gaining money. I agree that if these people (trying to engage themselves in gambling) are aware of the rules and the bad effects that it might cause if you gamble excessively then they can prevent themselves becoming addicted.
28  Economy / Gambling / Re: What are your expectations for Casino coins in this coming bull run? on: April 19, 2024, 08:27:25 AM
1. Amongst the three casino tokens I mentioned above, if you were to invest in one, which would it be?
I have RLB token now that I got from their airdrop before.

2. Are there any new casino tokens you think will do well in this coming bull run? Please tell the community and briefly introduce the project to us..
I'm not certain with this as I am more focus on accumulating established coins as preparation for the incoming bull run. I only have RLB and so far it is doing well.

3. Overall, how are you expecting casino tokens to perform generally, in this coming bull run.?
In general, majority of coins are increasing during bull run therefore i'm expecting these tokens to follow the trend. It's better to only buy a casino tokens of a reputable casino so less risky that it might turn as scam.
29  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ever Projected how to spend gambling profits while the game has not played yet? on: April 18, 2024, 10:24:47 PM
When I was a newbie gambler I also did something similar by projecting what I will do to my winnings without even thinking that there's no assurance to win at all. As we know, it's a game of chance and luck is a major factor in order to win. The difference is, it's just in my mind and didn't promise anyone to have a false hope.

Well, it's a lesson learned that in gambling you should not be too hopeful to win and don't borrow money just to sustain this habit. It's funny how a person made a promise knowing that he is just relying on the result of his bet. He just humiliated himself for doing so.
30  Economy / Gambling / Re: Why they need a license if bitcon is not money? on: April 18, 2024, 04:59:10 AM
The license ensures trust and belief for its users.
I don't think that's the general sentiment on this forum though. IIRC, some people shared articles about existing casino licenses and how the users can verify the license themselves. I think that's what this license offers, not necessarily ensuring they don't scam you or something similar. I don't think a crypto-based business should rely on blind trust tbh.
You might be right. However we can't deny that nowadays having a license is one of the few factors to say that the casino is legit. Although it doesn't necessarily mean they're not going to be a shady platform that can scam their players.

Anyway, even here the Government is not really into Bitcoin and still warned the citizens to be careful since it's an speculative asset. But they're requiring these crypto casinos to have a license. They just can't admit that crypto or Bitcoin to be a specific also works as fiat though it doesn't have a physical feature.
31  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: An interesting story and experience of a gambler on: April 17, 2024, 01:08:33 PM
What exactly do you think we call this type of gambler? For he is not only addicted to gambling, but he seem to be also addicted to buying stuffs he obviously does not need, and absolutely not interested in..
Sometimes we tend to buy things that we don't really need and just bought it because of the sudden desire. Usually for having more than enough money and can't think about of what's beneficial. The money that didn't came from hard-earned is often easy to spend rather than the one that you have worked hard for. Well, it's a human nature to have such behavior and it's not an isolated case.

The main problem here is the behavior of the gambler when it comes to gambling. He is already fortunate to win huge but not firm enough to keep his words to stop. Because if you don't have self-control, it's likely that you'll lose again everything that you already earned.
32  Economy / Gambling / Re: 1xBet Biggest Scam and Violation of Terms on: April 16, 2024, 11:40:19 AM
2. 1xbet changed my country to Bangladesh deliberately and refused to change it back to IRAN by my request .
Despite of this, why you still opted to play knowing in the beginning they did such thing which is illegal? It's already a red flag to stay away to this kind of casino. They want you to keep playing on their site but will use the fact that your country is prohibited to gamble once you win.

3.i won many USD but everytime i won 1xbet refused my bets and every time i lost they were ok with it .
1xbet has a bad reputation here thus it's not surprising if they did such. But why it took you 3 years playing on this site before realizing their shady actions?
33  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Not everyone deserves to hear of your winning in gambling. on: April 16, 2024, 07:47:32 AM
I don't think so, as everything has a positive as well as a negative side and catching the inspiration is their own decision whether they took the positive side or negative one. But I think maybe someone will get it and take it in his gambling track and will be successful like you. I know sharing your success story with anyone and any type of success whether it is gambling-related or something else is not always beneficial because people change when they hear about your success but I believe that there may be someone who needs some motivation and from your success story he will get it and perform well. So always Think positive its results will be always positive.
A gambler who became motivated to keep playing because of the successful story of other gamblers are not that bad if he can still play with discipline. But believing the same fate might hit him as well despite of the losses he already had is not a good mindset. Because you're already influenced by this motivation to not lose hope, that's not how gambling works.

It's always nice to see someone gained a decent amount from gambling. But it is important for us to limit ourselves and not too hopeful just because others are able to do so. Remember that majority of gamblers are not in profit.
34  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When you are not to gamble. on: April 15, 2024, 01:01:18 PM
They should be able to anticipate more losses by limiting their gambling activities. When gambling, they should not have to gamble for long. Moreover, gambling is just entertainment that doesn't need to be taken seriously. If they have experienced loss, there will be a desire to recover their losses, making them eager to continue gambling and in the end, they will lose more money.
Sometimes an experience to lose in gambling can make someone realized that it's not an activity to earn money easily. Because as we know many gamblers are engaging themselves in gambling because of the thought of gaining when they play.

Thus it's crucial to know what you are getting into before deciding to use your money just to play. Always expect the worse case that can possibly happen so that you're not going to be hopeful to win.
35  Economy / Gambling / Re: How Crypto casino market themselves? on: April 15, 2024, 05:00:36 AM
The problem with the new casino operators, they think that establishing a casino is easy and don't need much capital. They need to provide their customers the proof that they can sustain big wins and they've got proof of reserves for their funds.
This is crucial. Because that's how you can assure your potential gamblers that they'll get paid incase they became fortunate to win a decent amount in your casino. Having a sufficient money is important and that includes the budget for marketing especially if the casino is just starting.

The most common that I am seeing is through social media and hiring of influencers and of course in the forum, through signature campaigns.
I agree. Many influencers nowadays are promoting online casinos. Just shows that social media platforms are still one of the effective way to attract gamblers.
36  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Going all in and losing the bet on: April 13, 2024, 10:44:08 AM
Then I have all sorts of thoughts blaming casino, like do they manipulate the result of the game when user goes all in. I am sure they are all fair, it's just that the possibility of losing the game may be minimal but it's never 0.
High expectation to win push you to question if it's provably fair just because you go all in and lose. That's not unusual for gamblers to think that way everytime we're in unfortunate situation. However keep in mind the risk when you started to use your money to bet.

You can never be certain, the reason why we should not expect to win because losing is inevitable even in a point that you're confident with the possible result that's why you go all in.

Sa market na mataas ang volatility at napakaraming coins na pagpipilian dapat meron ka pamback up na trabaho, kasi may mahabang bear trend na halos walang kita o matagal na paghihintay bago magkaroon ng shift sa market.
Kapag bear season kasi kahit mura bumili, marami ang hesitant kasi nga matagal din ang hihintayin at takot ang maraming investors na malugi. Mas mainam talaga na my back up na trabaho kesa nakaasa lang dito dahil hindi naman sa lahat ng oras ay kumikita ka. My panahon talaga na kailangang maghintay kung talagang gusto mong mag gain sa investment mo.

Kung Bitcoin ka mag invest buy and hold ang diskarte. Kung altcoins naman, buy low, sell high. Masyado kasing risky ang alts na i-hold pang long term. Pero syempre importanteng may knowledge ka sa pinapasok mo para aware sa posibleng resulta.

A person who has a college degree will be the last to consider than a person who has a college degree with a skills because in school, what teach you is theoretical but in job, you do practical. This is what they don't tell many people in schools, it's funny how you see a person with all the degrees but doesn't understand how to use a Microsoft word and Microsoft excel skills, these are the basics skills that matter.
Indeed. A degree is necessary, however if you don't have the skills that the company is looking for to their applicants, then there's a low chance that you'll get hired. But it doesn't mean education is not the priority, because nowadays it is still crucial for people to be able to land for a better job. It's just that, you have to use what you learned to gain a specific skills that you can use to gain.

Education is not sufficient to become wealthy, it's just a stepping stone. It is still depends on us on how we're going to use these learnings to acquire skills for our own benefit for long term.
