Well, they could be at risk IF parents won't be able to properly guide them as they are being exposed to such games or activities. Atleast it is safe to say that on these games, children are eyeing to win toys rather than monetary rewards(yes it have the same idea but money for sure is a different drive as a reward). If you are a parent already, you know that it would be hard to monitor all of the things that may cause risk to your child given that you won't be around him all the time with places he/she is going into. Parenting on this instance will keep them safe from ideologies of addiction and bad influences. Make them aware of the consequences of their actions and the activities they are being hooked up to.
These games on the example are the ones which are on amusement parks or in malls. These are just games which are safe from children but if it is with the idea of gambling then yes there's a potential risk in the long run but it is still manageable given that these are young ones we are talking about. Well, atleast in my perspective.

Facts.
Normal for sure to be in doubt of something we know nothing much about because that is where learning takes place once curiousity and interest are fed. Many people still at this point are in doubt of Bitcoin and this technology in general inspite of seeing how far it is now. Let them be in doubt and wait for them to ask you why you are here in this industry. It would be hard explaining or atleast forcing a knowledge to someone who's not open in the first place to new idea. FUDs just that strong which causes fear to other investors. Perhaps right now that new ATH is already made, why are people afraid to make a purchase if we often say its market price which reach higher heights? Guess it's the same with those who knew Bitcoin on the early stage. Lesson? Would you just wait and be afraid or have the courage and know why many people are looking forward for its further growth in the future.Definitely. There's no such thing as 'too late' if an asset has the potential to grow over the years. Bitcoin and this industry could still be young given that recognition still is in progress from many countries.

There's a point already on what he's referring to but with a poor delivery of the meaning he is trying to give to his audience. If it is with improving your finances, then to start things you need to identify what you have and what you want to achieve, I definitely agree with it. Seeking for growth is too broad; check on profitable skills to add with what's existing. Read books, articles, and free online courses which will give you additional stream of income then choose some that you will specialize afterwards then repeat the process. Another to consider is to have both savings and investments including emergency funds to make things consistent along your process of growing in all aspects. Of course these things won't be easily achieved and that when perseverance and dedication will be needed;it won't be enough to just idealize things, you need to act upon it. If you are seeking for growth be prepared to tackle sacrifices as well. These are the things I could advice in addition to OP's.

Depends actually. If you are gambling within the premises of your company then they have the rights to fire you although it is not stated. It might as well be a preference of your company and that's out of our hands. Hard to determine whether it is just because of the involvement of cryptocurrency which lead to this unfortunate outcome. It may also be due to restrictions on gambling activities in South Korea. Not quite sure but as far as I know it is prohibited to gamble in public, in this country, and there's a specific district wherein casinos are allowed to operate. With this, if you cannot limit yourself gambling outside the area where such activity is allowed, then you are basically committing a crime by letting them know. As others have mentioned, it could also be stated in his contract with the employer.

But at the end of the day, he's already fired. What's best is to learn from this instance and to just avoid doing it in front of other people to lessen the potential problem such as what he experienced. We all know gambling has a negative image to many countries and to be a responsible civilian, make sure you know the rules and to follow it.

Many people are losing hope for Ripple because it is behind major coins the market especially right now that most of the coins are creating new ATHs.  Some are even looking at this coin as the most manipulated in particular with CBDC. Well, my personal take is to either move away from it and free yourself from stress if you're in doubt of Ripple. There are other coins to watch out such as SUI and ETH if you're after altcoins. But I do think XRP could still make it up for this year, keep in mind that Altcoin season hasn't started yet and that might be the biggest thing to trigger an ATH for XRP. Another to consider is its lawsuit which might also be a factor why its market price is being held because many investors are still in doubt as the case rolls still. There are mixed of assumptions for this token at this moment. But no matter how we look at it, XRP is for people who gets its trend and understands how this coin moves during both uptrend and downtrend.

Many countries and states are still not in full support of cryptocurrency and that is what's meant with people's hopes towards Trump's Presidency given that he's known as a pro-crypto politician. There's still a lot of room for improvements in this technology which could be resolved by mass adoption and that doesn't only concern its market price.
Most likely to happen if things would be aligned to what Trump have promised. Some people may question how would a single individual accommodate all of these expectations and if that's so, we should keep in mind how influential U.S is as a country. Actions related to this industry will most likely trigger a domino effect. However, this is just the beginning and we will eventually see how things will go for this industry. More businesses are now starting to get themselves involved with blockchain technology which is already something to look forward with, in the future. Trump will not make all of his platforms directly to this industry, but only knowing he supports it, is already a big thing for this technology.

Can't be determined because it won't be confirmed by any gambling provider in particular with slots. But I doubt there's a strategy with pure luck based games like slots and dice games simply because outcomes are in random pattern. Although some would claim for algorithm but it's not simple as that. Perhaps we would believe that there's this cycle in slots for winning and losing attempts; how will we decode this pattern then? Slots provider won't just allow such information to leak easily and they'd know if ever some people are continuously winning which will make them create changes with the existing algorithm. However, whether it is really programmed in such way or not, luck will still play things out unless you'd play every slot attempt or if there's a way to monitor the 'cycle'.
Whether slots are rigged or not, they'd be having profit from other bettors especially those who are losing. Of course not all players would win, which means profit is most likely to take place for the gambling providers. Not all providers are tweaking their games intentionally. There are still fair platforms and if outcomes are not going along with your expectations, you could just move with other gambling games to try your luck out.

Predictions and speculations could be created by anyone as long as you have a viewpoint of what's happening. However, no matter how we look at these statements, nothing would really guarantee things unless it happen already. Looking back with speculations early this year regarding bullrun; some believed it to happen right after the event and some became firm with their belief that uptrend will take place months after halving. One will be correct and other's would be in the wrong. But what will matter the most is your plans for your holdings; perhaps you immediately sell your holdings because of other's speculation. If you are positive of how will the market be doing the  just continue to hold or add up to the existing amount because that's the right thing to do than to regret it afterwards.
Based on how the market is going right now, then yes it is safe to say so but given how risky things could be, it would be much better to not be too confident making it a safe haven; always check on the market price and overall market trend, and also keep your wallet secured from malwares and viruses or other unwanted things that may put your holdings at risk.

If we're just talking about probability then for sure there is a tendency for a rich man to become poor especially if he will be using his wealth to things that won't generate money or to extend it. No amount of money is enough if your lifestyle is just continuously increasing because eventually everything will be consumed or outnumbered by your expenses. Point of view is respected but I think rich people are least likely to be poor atleast in most instances. As you've mentioned their lives are already planned and supported by generational wealth and that means it won't revolve solely with business but also assets that increases its value in the long run which will help them sustain their wealth or slow down their transition to poverty.

On the other hand, not all hard working poor individuals are succeeding in real life. Check on most of the farmers (except for farm owners); we can't deny that they're really working hard to make a living. Even if their children finishes studying, that won't guarantee wealth. Wealth doesn't only mean you can buy the things that you want. You could live a better life through hardwork and perseverance but wealth is on another level (yes we do have our own definition of wealth but atleast in this context).

Well, not ally coins in the market could keep up with Bitcoin especially with regards to consistency. If it is with altcoins then we can see SUI making another all time high at this point and other coins like MKR, ETH, and SOL recovers. Don't worry, in most instances, Bitcoin dominance happen and after that altcoins would be leading the market (although with no assurance but that's what our past shows). With your mentioned coins, I honestly don't know of these that much but if you really think these are good coins to hold then be patient.

 There are even big names which aren't also keeping up such as XRP but it might just be taking time. Know what you are holding and be firm of it; bullrun has just began.
Can't say that it is has no contribution of the recent market pump. One reason is him being a pro-crypto politician. Most likely, the market anticipates the support this industry would get which triggered a pre-bullish pattern that we are seeing at this moment.

Everyone's real but just facing different circumstances. It is a normal viewpoint to see how important money is in our lives but there are factors to consider; education (to execute their plans), circumstances (prioritizing the needs more than the wants), and resources (connections). Many people are working hard but that won't be enough to reach success.
Sacrifices are indeed a part of it in order to achieve other things in life. You cannot live on a single dimension such as being stuck with your teenage years and teenage activities. No one's really required to change how they are living their lives but if you want to seek for betterment in particular with financial and general growth then setting up your priorities in life would be the best way to get through it, especially if you have the means to do so because not all people do. Driven people are those who knows when to stop and what to start in order to achieve greater things in life.

Happens with all leagues not only in football 'coz simply that's just how things work. If a superstar made a huge impact to the team he is currently playing, he will for sure be missed by the community. One example on other league of this instance is when D. Rose in NBA, moved to other roster. When he is playing to his previous homecourt, he is still being cheered for by the crowd. Some teams are really composing of 'favorite' players wherein non-sports fans would remember a team name because of a single superstar, which proves how they are being remarkable on their chosen field of sports.

There are won matches because of these superstars and there's no doubt such moments wouldn't be missed by a fan.No certainty. Injuries, unfortunately, do happen and are already anticipated by players because it could be a part of their job as athletes. At the end of the day they are still employees of Franchises who only follows the management. As fans I guess it is safe to say that we should also adjust with our expectations and still be happy as long as we are seeing these superstars on matches even with a different uniform. Retirement on the other hand, for me hits deeper.

It is just how luck plays and coincidence works. If we would look at it, there's no definite correlation between being on vacation and placing your bet however it did happen to me before wherein I chose to play some games during a trip and had the same fate as OP. Other gamblers are also having the same suggestion not to, but for sure such thing doesn't happen all the time. I just put it as if you're lucky, then you'd win no matter what you are doing whether you're on a vacation or not. The only aspect I am agreeing not to gamble during days you're at rest is for you to focus spending your time without stressing on to other things you regularly do.

Inevitable, I believe. It is normal to lose in gambling anyway but atleast have some control with the amount you are betting. We may not have control of the outcome but we can limit the damage to our wallets in particular with gambling. I do make some 'testings' whenever I feel like gambling for the day; once I'm consistently losing then I make sure to take a pause and try the other day, than to force things out.

Can't say that this is false but some successful individuals learned from their previous mistakes making themselves, their own mentors in life. But it is true, many people chasing success are learners towards other people who already made it. There are also some who are paying other people to coach them and there's nothing wrong with it as well as long as you are going in line with your goal. This is just how inspiration works; first ones to finish the race will wait for the others and those who are behind will follow the path first ones' took. As long as you are learning, regardless of who you are 'following' then that's good.
Last line is making a strong point and I will agree to it. There are a lot of mentors including those which are self proclaimed but not all people are having the desire to become successful. Some are indeed just having idealization of what does it feel to achieve success but are not even exerting effort or actions to put things in real life. Same goes with how learning process takes place from the book to the reader; it depends on how the reader will absorb the message the author meant to deliver to its audiences.

I could say yes given that profit is already made especially by now that it is creating new ATH and I believe there's more for this year.
Might probably a long way still for that market price but it is indeed possible knowing how fast its market price is moving this year. Same reason why I have no plans of selling yet despite of assurance. I'm even guessing that a correction might take place before this year ends but I have no problem if ever it comes to reality. Market is meant to recover from every price dump simply because demand is high for cryptocurrency. In the future, more businesses and countries will adopt this technology as an alternative mode of payment and I'm being excited of it given how beneficial Bitcoin is as a digital currency. Those who doubted its potential might also be in huge regret at this point but they have to live with it. And if ever they have plans to engage as well on this industry, it is never too late to do so.

I agree, it depends on your circumstances as an individual. Of course anyone would want to quit their job if they're not being paid enough for their work or let's say environment is being toxic and for whatever reason there is. However, let's think of why people doesn't make immediate decisions; they are considering the circumstances from doing so. In many countries, employment is a problem 'coz competition is getting tighter. It won't be enough to say be more competitive or what not 'coz there are other factors such as connection and referrals to get a job nowadays. Their daily expenses are on the line. Some might say one should have savings and all, but things aren't that simple. Privileges are the bottomline. People are more practical these days which holds them back which is just a valid response. Not to normalize but there just instances some people are left by their circumstances with no options to quit once met with inconvenience from their jobs.
Indeed there's a bigger picture which is overall economic situation and leaders behind administrations. Some people are still not aware of how big the impact of their voted politicians in the long run and as they serve their positions. People should be taking elections more seriously to ease their lives as citizens of respective countries.

That's your take.
It is indeed a huge amount of money at least for me but this simply shows how confident they are of their finances. We saw stories of big bets from rich individuals and one to mention is Drake which often loses. I don't mean to offend you but maybe you are reacting this way 'coz you're not on their level, and I am as well not but I choose to have their way on their own. I just look at these numbers as a pinch from their wealth and even if it is a big chunk, that's for them to stress out. But I do get this, it is indeed possible to for betting activities to affect the result of the elections knowing how big the community is from this industry. Gambling habits can only be controlled by the bettor himself especially with decentralized betting sites wherein authorities has no access of.
Or whether they are being a problematic gambler or not, the only thing we could do is to prevent ourselves to adapt such betting behavior. We do have different tolerance with the amount we gamble and that implies as well with our loss. Regardless, they have to endure it if the outcome is in contrast with their bet since they're the one responsible of it.

I doubt, especially with known platforms already. Reality is that only a small number of bettors are in this forum to start with. Signature campaigns are meant to build up the platform's popularity and engagement to its target communities. So once things are already up, it won't be that much of a downside since everything's established. Another proof is gambling platforms that has no signature and weekly campaign, but still operates and being more known by players inside and outside this industry.
At least in this forum however, not all people in this platform are gamblers as I said above. There's a bigger percentage of a platform's players from outside this industry. Some gambling sites are now even using mainstream advertisements such as being involved with leagues for example is boxing matches. But I agree that the presence of these campaigns matter especially if the project has the capacity to extend its longevity and to not shut it just because they have already achieved popularity.

The phrase is more common with gambling platforms in particular with those which are offering unrealistic bonuses and rewards. For sure we heard enough stories of people getting scammed by new gambling sites and they're guilty that they've been  tricked by these offers. In some instances this phrase could also be applicable with fixed matches or ways being offered to cheat on the platform; there would be people offering signals in exchange for a fee and the likes. These will all boil down to the idea that there's no easy money on gambling industry; everything's a trap if you will be pushing to find ways to win easily.
Even long term gamblers are still falling from these schemes because it has something to do with one's drive. Many people are frustrated of how difficult winning is in gambling games so they are being vulnerable to things which are suspicious in general perspective. It happens in different forms but with one goal which is to deceive those which are prone. What's best is to learn if ever you'd be once a victim to avoid its reoccurrence.

Some mistakes are just expensive. Fishy it is to have high  wagering requirement. If he has no other choice then he should just play things out. Let's say he's ideal deposit is $100 then at least he should limit his bet under that amount and once he lost it, then avoid betting more on the same day or simply take a break until he again have the feeling to try it with another $100, since he has no other choice. Contacting the support won't do anything as others have mentioned. Everything indeed is in the ToS and it cannot be amended just because a single player made a mistake.

Quite made the same thing before but not exactly; I mistakenly bet an amount higher than what I was planning back then and likewise, I did not check the numbers before placing it. However, fortunately it turned out to be a big win for me but definitely leave me a lesson 'coz if the bet happened to be a loss, I will definitely be frustrated by that time. Always make reading and checking a habit.
