This really was an interesting thread because of the subject matter but after trolls and signature spammers started doing what they do, the thread has somewhat derailed. Gambling with fake money as an alternative to help those with gambling addictions defeats the object of trying to rehabilitate those in trouble.
Totally contradicting on what they are trying to aim,right? rehabilitating but still trying to play on using fake money or funds? that wont really able to solve out problem but instead it would even make it worst. There's so much difference in playing between real money and fake ones and its a wrong mindset or belief that in avoiding addiction you should play with fake money? thats not how it works.You would be finding yourself to be that desperate on using real money specially if you do find yourself to be profitable on the time you do make use of those fake funds. So it would really just be on the same story on where you do still end up on playing gambling. |

Indicators aren't 100% accurate but it provides a big help, especially for those who are struggling to analyze the market as well as the possible movements of coins. A newbie could rely on indicators but he must know the basics first and the importance of dealing with the volatility of the market as well as the fundamentals of trading so he would basically understand how indicators work.
There's no such thing about 100% accurate and we know that it cant be possible but its true that indicators do provide a great help at least on foreseeing things which you cant see on just staring up on a chart. You could really have the basis and able to make analysis based up on what you do saw.So to speak about fundamentals and indicators then it would be ideal or good to have both.You could always combine the two and just by said by others that not all the times that the market will create some news and events which you would tend to make use but if you cant see something then its just right that you would make use of indicators so that you could make out decisions on different market conditions but of course it wont really be easy as it sounds. |

After this experience I believe gambling is for the big bag holders, if you're in urge of making a win. Very much disappointed, because it is the last few dollars I had as a cryptocurrency holding. If I had more funds I wouldn't have encountered this big loss. Martingale once again a failed strategy when you don't have big bag of money.
I don't think so, rather I do think is more of greediness in gambling that leads people to loosing money whether it involves playing games or it involves gambling in trading. The only secret to be successful in gambling is your right strategy and understanding what you're doing very well before betting your hard earned money. I get what you're trying to say but even that so called secret of yours will not give you a guarantee to make you win, losses are really part of the process and that's inevitable except if you know what time and day is luck. Until then, you cannot really predict the outcome and it's also best to pick the fight you wanted, a fight where you have the most knowledge because that can increase your probability but again, it's won't still guarantee you a success. We can differentiate in between; Luck based Strategic based Type of gambling on where someone could really apply whether their knowledge and skills or having no skills on playing at all. Luck cant really be influenced by anything on this world so dont bother yourself in related to this one.Gambling isnt just only for those big bag holders but its for everybody, as long you do have the funds then you are free to do so but of course there would be noticeable difference in between to those who had bigger funds compared to those who do have less but in overall its a thing which you could spent out your time and money to enjoy. |

Have you ever seen Bitcoin can't survive all seasons? for me, it is not necessary to require an expert or specialist in deciding a statement. Even beginners will know that only Bitcoin is truly compatible in all seasons. No matter how deep the bear market is, Bitcoin remains the only one that survives. If you look at the winter impact on altcoins, almost all of them cannot recover 100%. Only noobs and fudders are the only ones who do say that bitcoin would be dead or this entire market is over without even thinking that this market had passed through lots of storms and unfortunate events but still end up on recovering because not all the times we would be staying up on a bear market forever.There's always a recovery but people do really easily get freaked out on the time they've been seeing that everything is dropping or plummeting. It is really just common sense that there would be lots of projects would die and wont able to survive this specially on a bear market but of course lots would be surviving too thats why its not an assurance even if you do put on several projects in the market to survive. |

Being mentioned the winner's name in public or not, there are always people who will try to do bad actions. We don't know what's on the mind of these people. Let's just hope that there will be no cases of inappropriate actions that these winners will experience at the hands of these types of people. I also think of that too once I become a jackpot winner (yes I always bet on the lottery here about 4-5 times a week). But before that safety procedures, I like to win first as that safety can be planned later.
But with this recent news about winners, I have never seen yet a worst-case scenario happened to these winners.
It's all good and hopefully, it will keep that way.
Mentioning the name is a very big no-no and its just that common sense that organizers wont really be doing that because they would really be thinking of the safety of the winner because winning millions on a jackpot lottery is just too big and we know that there are indeed criminals which would really be thinking neither abducting or something in related for that someone if ever they would really be getting any hint on where he/she do lives.Mentioning the place or city wont really be that much in concern because no one will really be intending to find every person who do live on that vicinity. |

Very basic thing I believe upon the market. There is good understanding about the market, if not whenever the market turns bearish automatically fear accompanies and people tend to sell in bunches. This time this isn't experienced much and the same is out of real understanding, which lets them hold believing in the future growth of cryptocurrencies.
Yes, Many traders has learned from their mistakes never to sell their coins during bearish season than to hold and watch for the bullish season to appear before they can sell to make a good profits. It will be difficult for traders to miss this opportunity of bearish season that is flowing from last two months till now for people to buy at low price because the price of the coins will soon increase higher for those that embraced the opportunity to buy a huge amount of coins to get ready for a massive rewards. Only a few would really be having the courage on doing so specially to those who do have already the experience and also does have the money for them to do so.Not all would really be seeing on the same perspective and having the same impressions towards bear market.Some could see some opportunity and some could really see that this is the demise or end of this market. This is why people should make realize theirselves that on a bear market doesnt automatically mean that it is really pertaining to losses but rather you should really be thinking off on the opportunities that it do gives on a certain investor/trader. So its up to someones taking and decision whether they would make out such step or not. |

Personally, I get an urge of greed like every other human, which is natural. That's what makes us win more? or I lose if you are bad at it.
Humans are born with a survival mentality, we either win and exit, or we lose and exit. There is no in-between for sure.
If you are facing changes like "Addiction", you need to stop gambling and even get some help.
Not really good for your mental health.
Having some sense or urge of greed is pretty normal as a human being but that specific attitude is needed to be tamed and controlled because that could possibly put you into a risky situation where there's no turning back, you know, greed is always a factor and most of the result when you let greed control you is not good. Which is also why it is pretty much needed to have a goal in mind and know where to draw our lines if ever we decide to gamble. from what I could observe from people in my country who are close to me and who have been playing games of chance for years, greed was something I saw that they didn't have, but they had something more dangerous: "not knowing how to give up" this factor of the person not accepting that he is losing a lot and that it is time to stop? this is something that many people who are in the gambling world don't have. few people know when is the time to stop, to give up Stopping or giving up would only be just possible or would happen when they dont have anymore money from their pocket for them to spend and this had been always the case and its not surprising. About changes on the body then it would neither be an old or existing kind of illness and just come out when you do get yourself too stressed with gambling or worsen up the condition. which on the time you've been losing then it do really create some problems to be more obvious or could really be seen.We cant tell precisely if there would be changes just because of the activity you've been dealing with but we know that how much can stress could affect a certain persons body on general perspective. |

Trading is definitely worth the effort. The question is a bit different - the trader's readiness to work. For example, I tried my hand at working on a demo account of Amarkets broker. This allowed me to understand whether I should use such an industry for work.
Trading is ok as long as you know what to do, it’s all about your effort to learn things about trading because it can make a big change for you. You can only say its worth it if you already experience it, trading can be more profitable once you executed your plans so better start planning. There’s a lot of successful traders here, they all started from the scratch, use it as your motivation. But you should put up into your mind that trading doesnt really guaranteed out or making those things happen on whats into your mind.Expect the unexpected and this should people treat trading because its not really simple as it sounds yet not all would really be that successful nor do really takes a very long time for you to have a good grasps on trading and people should really be mindful in regarding on this one. Is it worth it? Yes of course but it depends on how much effort and time you would really be putting and you would normally be facing lots of trial and errors before you could able to have a good grasps on it.Never ever make yourself that too confident that you could make a good grasps on everything because trading isnt really that easy. |

From your story, I think that if you want to access gambling sites, you can use a premium VPN instead of a free VPN because it can help you access gambling sites. Even on premium VPNs, you may find IPs from your country that are not blocked by your country's ISP (if your country allows gambling). But if indeed your country blocks gambling and your country are on the blacklist of casino sites, it is better not to try to access the casino because it can cause problems for you. Well, not everybody want to pay for VPN service and they are rather very expensive because they are not pricing packages by country's purchasing power like some other sectors do. I'm pretty sure you don't want to give ~1/20 of your wage every month just for a premium VPN service, most sane people don't. It's really annoying that governments completely shut the door on such a large industry, it's not just because they can't get taxes. They block such sites due to religious nonsense and interfere with people's lifestyles. There are options like Cyprus and Batumi for physical casinos, but online gambling has a different place and it shouldn't be that hard to go in. It could really just neither Religious or Tax kind of concern on why government do really prohibits out or make some ban just because they do like it and us citizens then there's nothing we can do but to abide with these things and its true that no one will really be that willing on spending out for monthly payment for VPN just to access out the sites that we do love to engage on. For on topic reply then majority of crypto sportsbook that we do have today or into this market doesnt really have that much restriction when it comes to countries that wouldnt be allowed to access but if you do really love to have that peace of mind then you could really see their terms and conditions and see for yourself about on those sites been listed out if your country is included and if it is then its just common sense that you do need to find another one. |

KYC is being weaponized by the casinos. When they think the player won “too much” money, they ask for KYC and then even you give them your data, they tell you that can’t tell you about the process because it is against the law blablabla and your money will be seized by the casino just like that. The exchanges do it too. That’s why people hate KYC wholeheartedly. Most of the time KYC is a tool for shielding the scammers.
The funny thing is that the document verification process can take an incredible amount of time, and while this process is going on, the casino/exchange will use your money for free. Most of all, the asymmetry of the process infuriates me - everyone is ready to accept my money without any KYC, but when I want to withdraw it, various obstacles arise. Some sire requires you first to fill up the KYC before allowing you to deposit some money so by this, you still have the time to think if you are going to push through and play on that site. If ever you see this as not possible and you don’t want to provide any personal details, then you still have the option to leave. In a case of withdrawal, I think its suspicious if they will ask for any KYC while they allow you to gamble in the first place, and most probably you don’t have any choice anymore because you can’t get your money if you didn’t comply, KYC is becoming a normal thing now. Asking for KYC on the time you do make out withdrawal is something that a shady act by someone or site to do such thing on which they should have asked out on the time where people do make out registration.This is why people are really very that keen when it comes to dealing with sites that do ask out KYC.We do know that majority do really loves anonymity on which they arent exposing their identity to any services or platforms out there but since regulations becomes stricter and just as we do know that gambling site businesses specially licensed ones would definitely need to comply on whats been asked thats why they dont really be having any option but to comply or else that would really be giving a big effect into their company or simply it would really be closed down. They do know that community doesnt really like that way but as a business then they should really be doing adjustments too. |

Elon Musk terminates deal with Twitter: https://apnews.com/article/elon-musk-twitter-inc-technology-4193a27d86458952542dfa2176150a01He cites a lack of information/transparency on bot accounts as his reason. Sure, I suppose people might buy that excuse. I'm wondering if the economic downturn had anything to do with his decision not to sink over 40 billion dollars into a miserable social media enterprise filled with college aged children complaining about how they were oppressed because they were misgendered at the coffee shop. He's claimed that he's losing billions of dollars on his car factories due to supply chain shortages, and he's cut staff at Tesla citing economic concerns. It would be a horrible move to overpay for twitter at his buying price, especially with recession on the horizon. Losses in business venture is inevitable and here's the perfect example i guess.It turns out that buying of Twitter didnt really end up on what he had anticipate or expected. Selling it again on a lower price or at loss? I wont be surprised but he hadnt made out any conclusions in regards but he had already given his reason which do clearly sums up everything.I do agree that people will surely buy that excuse. |

Instead of being "careful with slots" people should get educated with slots and gambling in general. Lots of people in my slots 101 thread have played for years without serious problem and I'm pretty sure they won't get into trouble. That's because they are "educated."
Spending $9,000 for IDR play is crazy, even I won't dare to do that. I don't think I've lost that much money either from years of slotting activity. If only for fun, and not trying to get rich while most likely go broke, IDR 200 play is safe as long as you play at a reputable casino.
Agree with what you say here but indeed sometimes Slots can forget about time which is indeed very difficult to deny, especially if we see that when talking about slots in IDR or in Indonesia today there are lots of people who always do Liverstream on several social media which making a lot of people provoked to do the same thing in large numbers but actually this is what worries me because people don't know that they are not aware or are too naive that the people who do the livestream are actually getting paid to do this. Thats how thing works on which marketing and at the same time someone do really make out some profits or income on just simply playing or trying to be followed by people or hooking up potential players. Playing slots on physical phase is something more interesting than on playing through online if we do based up with actual experience and engagement but of course it is really just on the same concept. Doesnt matter which one you are engage or dealing with but the chances of losing is almost identical so its always suggested on playing for fun and not for making big wins but we cant really deny that hopes of hitting big or jackpot is really there on every spin whether online or offline then it is really just normal. |

That's why we must be careful in choosing a casino site, especially one that uses kyc because we don't know what they can do with our data.
Exactly. And the answer for question "How to choose proper casino?" is easy: Choose those who has EU/USA license. Not of grey offshore, not of some third world countries. No. EU or USA - in this case you will be sure that casino not cheating and that it will not sell your data to some shady hackers. This got me thinking, I've only had one KYC done on a gambling platform as I am gambling on that website on a regular basis however I haven't checked their licence yet. Could you please clarify more information on checking a proper casino? Also, Can I know more why having a EU/USA guarantees that the casino will not cheat or sell your data to anyone? Thanks! There's no assurance when it comes on handling out those customer information whether its a USA/EU it would really be still prone to risk for those information to leak out due to some hack or some inside exploit or something which there's no assurance or 100% guaranteed that those information wouldnt leak out sooner or later but somewhat entrusting or having that believe on to those things will not really be a bad idea. Also complying out KYC is someones choice and you havent been forced considering that we do have lots of options or choices in the market then we could always opt in on making use of platforms or services which arent really requiring for some verification.About licensed casinos then it is really much preferred but not all trusted ones are licensed so its situational. |

They could potentially take advantage of the bearish market right now as there are people really looking for cheaper coins to buy before the trend ends. I am not surprised if some existing projects already died out though. Regardless anyways, these scammers would not go away either trends. There are just way too many shit bounties out there already to look out for. Most of the time this would be using BTC or top altcoins in regarding with ICO investment which means those precious coins in dip state or bear market do means that they would really be spending more on buying into something which doesnt give out assurance.Do really people think that it is really worth the risk or wasting up their precious coins? And also seeing a declining market and making investment with those newly launched ICO wont really be that appealing from time to time but i do rather believe that people would be more interested on investing into ICO's when its bull run because they are foreseeing that they could take or make big profits even if people would really be just joining up with these bounties and other particular perks and bonuses around. |

It is common for most people when they are losing in the game they get angry and then when they are winning they start to laugh, this starts to become a habit that even when they are not playing, they are in front of some conversation they get angry when someone say something they don't like and get happy seconds later when they're right about something in the conversation
I have participated in many debates on various forums and on Twitter, so I would not say that this behavior is typical for gamblers. I think this is common to all people, but only a few have the necessary intellectual resource to overcome this stupid pattern, and most do not. On the other hand, maybe they initially treat conversations as entertainment, so they give a splash of emotions (and then I'm wrong about them haha). At the end of the day - most of the gamblers say to themselves - today was not our day. Or I wish we. have not gambled today. The pain of loosing in gambling is the worse of all pain. When you bet with your own hand and give away money with your own hand. If you dont like on getting stressed just because you have lost then you shouldnt have touched gambling thing in the first place.Gambling is for entertainment or enjoyment because if you do find yourself to get stressed and anxiety on the time you've been playing then it would really create or mold a long term effect on someones body because we know on how stress could really develop possible illness if you cant able to handle it out on the right way.It might that minimal or not something to bother on but when it do accumulate in longer runs then it would be an another story. Dont let gambling affect your life not on means of health and not on means into financial state. |

Any opinion is always welcome, especially when he has a TA, but in this case he exceeds in alternate comments, perhaps to give notoriety to the little influence of his true opinion, I think that this man is looking to start earning a salary as a frequent commentator and receive enemas from the American television companies that pay bonuses to their commentators (consultants).
His opinion has already fallen into FUDs, which aims to shake the market but that was only before as bitcoin investors and traders today are now more knowledgeable and more experienced so they are not really threatened by negative criticisms. He can be a commentator and stick on ruining bitcoin, but he will never succeeded on it because bitcoin will never fall into a worthless value, and the people are becoming mostly aware about it. If you've been here on this market for a while then these calls or simply these FUD's wont really be that much effective nor could really affect the market overall.We know that adoption and recognition is on the move or do progress as years passing by and its position into the market does signifies its superiority among other projects or coins in the market which i dont really have any doubts about it.Getting used to into those sentiments or fuds is something you should really need as an investor or supporter of bitcoin or in crypto as a whole.They would be continuing on throwing out fuds and other sentiments which isnt something new or can be seen into this cryptospace so getting used to it would be the key and act normally. |

I hope the police caught the guys who stole from OP. What can I say, my house is very secure and there was not a single break in attempt. It's good to live in a neighborhood where people have dogs and cameras everywhere. My most expensive single win was close to 300 on blackjack in one day of playing. I bought myself a bottle of Jack (somehow felt like it matches the theme), got drunk and eventually gambled away the rest of the money  I've never bought anything big for myself from gambling. Investing is another thing. I bought a lot of stuff for BTC. Perhaps your neighborhood can afford high-technology for security, but I think the burglar knew that OP was out of town for quite some time that's why the burglar decide to break into the house and stole his PS5 and other valuable items. I believe that our house will remain safe if there will be dogs living on it and the house won't have days that it's unattended so that the burglar won't have time breaking in. In other words, the person who entered to rob his house may have been following him for a long time, and came to the point where the thief saw that he had not been able to go home for a long time, so he took the opportunity to enter it and that included the PS5 that he only used a few times, but you thought of a good suggestion that there should be a dog guard at home, I like what you said. The most expensive thing I purchased from gambling is solar panel. I am glad I made this investment and that is how I was able to reduce my monthly electricity bills. I am very happy I did this - now I no more care for my bill. So grateful I did the right decision at the right time. Thinking about buying things which would really beneficial is something a right call to be done and since we are winning on an amount which do come fast then we would really be thinking on how we would gonna spend it on a fast pace manner too but there are people who do really mind off that much about on beneficial things that they could possibly get on the things that they are tending to purchase on. Whether it do came from gambling or do came from into their own salary.Not all does have the same mindset when it comes to this manner.Myself do able to purchase a mobile phone from my gambling win even though its not really that big or expensive but at least i had made out significant and something that i can use on everyday. |

Although Bitcoin is my number one investment choice but my alternative investment after Bitcoin would be the real estate sector. This sector is growing rapidly in my country due to population explosion. Apart from the occurrence of natural disaster and conflict landed properties assets that hardly suffers drastic depreciates. Also I might gladly invest in the agricultural sector of my country. The government just recently banned the importation of some agricultural products in order to promote indigenous farming. My focus would be on poultry and palm oil farming.
Ive been diversifying on real estate too even though this kind of venture or investment do really involved huge chunks of money but if you do look on the brighter side and potential then we could really say that its worth. When you do have other source of income or profits then you wont really be making yourself get panic since you do know that you do have other sources which you could really potentially able to make yourself recover of your losses which do simply means that it could really give out that kind of confidence inside but of course not all people do have diversified portfolio and going all in with crypto thats why on the time where bear market comes then they are really tending to panic but actually there are opportunities which you could actually get. |

Depends on whether your addiction is environment-based or not.
You can have 2 different gamblers. One gambles with friends and all his dudes are gamblers. They all go watch football in a pub every weekend and bet at the nearby bookie. It's a social event that's hard to skip.
The other guy gambles at home because he's tired every day after work and wants to forget about his day. For this second guy a change will be much more difficult. Maybe if he ever gets a better job and has enough money to find himself a nice hobby far from gambling...
Its situational and the type of gamblers you had mentioned is indeed accurate which it does depend on what kind of gambler you are whether a social type or alone type which environment could also a big factor on why he do play gambling and getting used to it and on the times that changes do happen then one could simply adapt it and the other one would really able to feel such changes and would also be having some changes in action as well but if your addiction level is already into the roof then you cant really totally stop no matter what condition or situation you are in on which it would really be just still like a normal day on where if you do find out some difficulties on playing then you would normally be finding ways or path for you to do so.So its still the same old story.  |

That is not the worst-case scenario. The worst is when it goes to 0, which I don't think happens with Bitcoin, but with shitcoins and company shares, it does happen. I go long-term with Bitcoin and I don't sell, but there are situations when you have to consider it.
As long as you've invested in Bitcoin, holding will always be the best choice even when the market is crashing. Be bothered when you're holding a nonpotential coin and it's losing its value. Bitcoin will always be worth investing in the long term but in shitcoins, you have to grab the chance of selling once the price strikes high because most of the weak coins pump once and dump continuously until the project dies. That's why no matter how deep the Bitcoin price drops in a bear market situation like now, I will never sell my Bitcoin at a low price. Because I learned from the history of Bitcoin price movements, where Bitcoin prices can always recover and provide profits for investors who can be patient holding Bitcoin in the long term. But very different from new projects or shitcoins, I will without a doubt do a cutloss if the price drops deep enough, which if the price has fallen too deep it will usually take a long time to recover. Even for shitcoins, there is a big chance that they will become deadcoins, which we can't sell anymore. So the risk is much higher if we invest in new projects or shitcoins, so for new projects or shitcoins it is more suitable for trade short term. Never ever sell on a loss which it wouldnt really be that sensible on doing so because why would need to sell if you do know that the price would made out some recovery in long term? Instead of selling out then its better to buy on the dips but of course this do involved some analysis because you cant just buy without any basis or targets even though market bottom is totally unpredictable but its impossible that you cant able to determine on where everybody is in great fear and anxiety towards the market.Its a solid indication for you to buy more but of course not all would be having that finances on supporting this kind of action thats why it do really vary into each investor whether they could afford to buy something or not. |
