I agree. You'll never know unless you try and that's what I did, since I also want to become a trader and be like a pro who's earning good for being a trader. But I think it's not the suitable way for me to earn because it didn't go as planned. It's hard especially if you can't focus due to other activities (could be a daily job) that needs your attention.

But what matter for me is I tried and experience how it is to become a trader. For now, I prefer to just stay being a hodler since I don't have to spend time to monitor the market often.

When we invest, it's important that we know what we are getting into and has a knowledge about it to become familiar and to know how can we take advantage the opportunity. Well, I know luxury watch is a good investment because I used to watch a luxury collections of the popular personalities here. But it's not my interest (I don't even have a cheap one since im not using watch).

That being said, when it comes to investing, I prefer Bitcoin and gold (real estate is also good but we need a decent capital). Because that's already proven by me as profitable and of course I have knowledge about it.

As of now mataas pa rin talaga kaya kahit gusto nating mag take profit dahil maganda ang price ng Bitcoin, ang hadlang naman ay ang transaction fees. Isa ito sa disadvantage para satin. So kung maliitan lang ang transaction hindi talaga worth it. Nakapag withdraw pa ako last week pero sa ngayon siguro hintay na lang muna. Nakakapanghinayang din kasi yung mababawas.

This. One of an indication that the casino is not shady. It takes time to build a reputation. So if within 6 months they can prove their platform is not scam, it's the start of slowly gaining the trust. However we know it's not just the basis and anything can still happen in the future. Thus, it's a must that we always read the reviews of the gamblers playing on the particular site to see if there's a new issue and for us to become updated.

Well, some reputable casinos don't have an active rep here. But it's a plus point for new casinos if their representative is responsive to address the questions and problems of the gamblers.

Of course the one who spend long hours in gambling. But there are cases wherein a gambler is able to play for long hours because he/she is fortunate to not get busted early using his/her deposit. I can relate to this because even my set budget is not huge but i'm lucky to win, that's how I can play for hours. 2 hours are the maximum for me because I can't spend so long and chances are you'll lose if ever you are already in profit. IMO, 1-2 hours are the ideal time for playing. But it depends for every gambler since we have different perspective.

This scenario also happened before although the price is different to your given value. Many investors missed the opportunity because they thought the price will consistently increase and won't plunge unexpectedly. But it's too late before they realized that bullish season is over and the time for accumulation begins.

Well, I also experienced this many times, missed the timing to take profit. A bit disappointed but there's no room for regret since it happened already and it's my decision not to sell. Therefore, the solution is to keep holding or accumulate more using the DCA strategy so you won't mind the price.

Is the way a person dress the basis if he's mentally unstable or not? Because as long as the person is behaving fine I don't think dressing shabbily is an issue (even his appearance is not as presentable as others). In op's story, the gambler act normally. It's just that, those seeing this guy might question his mental condition due to his physical appearance.

Anyway, observing is not enough to bar a person from gambling, it should be proven that he has a mental condition. That's the time they can apply whatever rules they have to protect their business to any violation for letting someone play even he's not in his right mind.

It is not hard to quit gambling if you are not addicted. But in a case wherein a gambler can't control himself, then it means he is already addicted. Regardless of if you are winning or losing, when you are not addicted, then it would be easy to quit since you know how gambling works and aware that losing is inevitable. That being said, we should expect that we're likely to lose our money when we use it to play.

A gambler who are not able to control himself/herself has a gambling problem. You'll know and understand these things if you are a gambler yourself.

Good since I made profit overall. Started to invest in Bitcoin at a lowest price this year and able to hold up to now. It's a decent amount already so I take profit to enjoy my earnings this holiday season.

On the other side, I managed to buy additional altcoins too but I prefer to keep holding until I saw a significant growth to the price. They're well-established coins so I don't worry for what lies ahead. Anyway, with the good news circulating in crypto, I think we can look forward for a bright future especially halving is just few months away.

Hindi talaga ako swerte sa mga ganitong klaseng pa raffle pero iba sa pagkakataong ito. Kaya hindi ko rin agad nalaman kasi hindi ko binabalikan ang thread dahil hindi ko inasahang isa ako sa mananalo. Maraming salamat kabayan sa pa raffle at sa book na prize. Nag pm na rin ako. Merry Christmas at advance Happy New Year sa ating lahat. 

Indeed. This is what I always look forward during holiday season on Duelbits, their Christmas giveaway. They're consistent every year and generous on giving such prize to their gamblers. Though the chance to win is slim especially if you just have few tickets, still, it's an opportunity and who knows we're meant to be lucky. So good luck to everyone and Merry Christmas.

That's why it is advisable to gamble without high expectation of winning. So that even the outcome is not good, you can just easily move on and not dwelling on what happened. If you can do this as a gambler then you can't become addicted since your main desire is not to make money when playing. Because a mindset of making money through gambling is not wise since you're too attached to have a positive outcome. But if you able to profit without expectation, it's more satisfying. Being a gambler who wager in games doesn't give consistent earnings unless you have other ways like as an investor or an owner of a casino.

To do this, a gambler needs to have a self-control. But due to a high expectation that the winning streak will last long, that's when a gambler became greedy and might go all in. The outcome is still relying on luck therefore we need to have a discipline and set aside our emotion in order to think wisely to be able to stay in profit.

Martingale strategy can drain your funds quick if you're not lucky on the game that you're playing. Don't try to recover your losses, otherwise you might regret not stopping when you still have funds or profit to withdraw after the winning streak session.

This is true. If you borrow money and use it to build a business, the outcome is still uncertain and one wrong move can trigger to failure.

Therefore, it's crucial that you know how to handle everything (in general) to maximize the possibility of having a successful business. The reason why it's not also easy to use a borrowed money to gain assets because there's always risk. But of course, this idea is much better rather than borrowing then spend it for wants.

Indeed. Only gamble using your set budget and never try to borrow money just to sustain your gambling activity. That's a risky thing to do and can cause huge problem if you lose in gambling. Just like the story of op, you'll only realize the mistakes you did after experiencing it yourself. I know someone personally who had such problem. His family left him for being irresponsible and worse he put himself into a huge debt due to uncontrolled behavior towards gambling. That's how he realized his mistakes but it's already too late since he is in a total mess. This is a reminder for us to gamble responsibly and do your best not to become addicted. Thus, have self-control and always know your limit.

Majority of gamblers are losing than winning so it's not really possible to rely entirely in gambling as a source of income and not even possible to be treated as profession (this is for gambler who wager their money). Sometimes we can win, but how often? It can be treated as a side hustle if the games that you're going to play is a skill-based (so you can apply a strategy and skills) then you have other source of income. But relying only in gambling as a full time job? I don't think so.

We all want to earn an extra income. But not through financing a gambler (regardless how good or knowledgeable the gambler to a certain game). Because the profits are not guaranteed since it's still based on the player's luck. Therefore if you want to make money, why not look for a side hustle to earn? Because if you can be easily convince and will bite the offer of financing a gambler due to the promised profit if they win. It's a problem if they lose since you already expected something in return. But keep in mind that there's no assurance and if it's really profitable why they have to look for a financer and not use their own money, right?

Nowadays there are many fake reviews existing. The reason why I don't really rely solely on review sites since i'm not certain if it's real and not just made to create false information for the specific casino. Anyway, what I like to read is a review based on the real experience of a gambler.

The following are what I think is important points to review; Accepted crypto for deposit and withdrawals, wagering requirement, kyc procedures, the customer support (on how responsive they are) and overall user experience if it's a recommended one or the one to avoid.

I noticed that too. Even the price of Bitcoin is already rising, it doesn't influence RLB to soar high too. But when the market is down, that's the time RLB is recovering back. Investors are disappointed because we used to seeing alts are following the movement of Bitcoin. Hence they are expecting to have an increase probably to take profit for those who only buy to hold for short term. But I think it's better to look for long term (if you're able to wait and willing to take risk the amount you have invested). RLB is a utility token of Rollbit and has uses on the casino. It's not just an investment but if you're a gambler on the platform you'll know the perks of holding it. That being said, I believe there's more to look forward because the price can rise further. The current value is actually reasonable to buy more.

Nowadays it's not unusual to see young couple getting married even they're not financially stable yet, having just love. But the problem starts when they had kid and unable to provide for their overall needs. Money is also one of the reason why some couple ended up dealing with separation. On the other side, it doesn't necessarily mean getting married young and not ready for responsibility (financially) can cause problem. Because it depends on how they handle their situation and solve whatever problem arise. Because if you are already married, you'll learn to strive hard to provide for your family's needs. But this is, if you are a responsible person and aware of your obligation.
