I guess it just depends on your luck. There are really times you won't win. Sometimes misfortune such as this happens the moment you will place your last bet to call it a day. If you are rooting for the last game to be your big win, just pray hard enough that odds will be favoring your side. Because it's really a matter of chance.

Do not expect something so much from a bet because you'll just end up hurting yourself it won't turn out the way you want it to. Don't chase winnings too because you might end up losing more and more instead of gaining.

Yes, you could still win with free spins. However, just don't expect a big amount of winning because the odds are still on the house's side and luck still plays a role. And if ever you do win, you'll most likely be obliged to wager a certain amount before you could withdraw your winnings.

The number of free spins will define the probability of you winning and the possible amount you're going to win. Just don't set up too high expectations so that you won't be hurt. Don't rely on the winnings of free spin because it's not something you can make as a living or such.

It isn't really because of the casino for me. Although if you believe in such, there's also no harm. Maybe some of us really have that kind of "lucky" places and such. Perhaps we attract some form of charm if we believe in it.

However, I think it's more of your mental state and your determination to win the game. If you are not in the right mental headspace and if the odds are not just on your favor, then expect losses. Winning is a combination of luck and calculated probability after all. Just be mindful of your gambling habits. Still always play responsibly despite winning or losing after several attempts.

This is right.

It is the gambling website or lottery company's responsibility to protect the identity of every winners they'll have in order to ensure their privacy and security. This is done to safeguard the lives of the winner as well as their winning prize because once other people knew the identity of the jackpot winner, they will be vulnerable from all sorts of threat such as robbery and even murder. Their peaceful lives would be at stake too once the public knew their identity. Paparazzi, relatives, friends, and even acquaintance might bother them just to have a portion of their prize.

This is why the gambler's identity must really be protected unless they agreed or they initiated to be publicly announced their identity. It will be the agreement of the both parties with that scenario. After all, consent is always needed in cases such as this that concerns big amount of money and security as well.

Very much agree.

During this modern times, it's really a necessity now to have an accessible gadget to have your things to do done in short period of time. Cellphones and laptops are needed to function in this day. It's no longer a luxury, but a necessity to have an operational gadget and application you can use to accomplish your tasks whether it is intended for school requirements or work related. Hence, the struggle of those who want to withdraw from their gambling addiction is getting so much harder because of the demands and the current way of living.

If you are an addicted gambler and you want to withdraw, it'll be so hard to just abandon your gadgets and the internet altogether because you have to work in order to earn money. However, the temptations of opening up a gambling website or installing an app is just at the palm of your hands. This is why most gamblers fail to quit because of the easier access we have now.

I think going to therapy and undergoing certain treatment specially made for a gambling addict is one of the best ways to quit gambling with lesser probability of undergoing relapse and repeated cycle of withdrawal and going back. If gamblers will just quit instantly, there's a higher chance he'll just go back because of craving for thrill and enjoyment he's used to. The best approach would be slowly removing it from someone's system without so much restriction and pressure being put into them. That way, they won't crave for it and they'll hardly be affected by the advertisements online.

Indeed, it's such a hassle to contact directly the campaign managers for conflicts that will arise, most especially if the conflict is just a minor issue. It's a hassle on your part and on their end as well because they'll have to accommodate each person who will message them because there's no specific avenue for the players to reach out to. Hence, having an ANN thread will be beneficial on both players and managers because they can easily interact without invading the privacy of each other.

In addition, the members can also help their fellow members if ever they already encountered that kind of problem before. The members can also put up some insights and lay other perspectives in which the OP could seek to enlightened his mind. So, yes, it's much better to have an active ANN thread while it is not mandatory for them, it'll be so much better for having good communication with the issues at hand by some members of the community.

Gambling problems really do arise from bad gambling habits.

I think one of the best ways to lessen the gambling related issues you have mentioned is to conduct a kind of seminar whether online or in actual about the pros and cons of gambling. That way, the existing gamblers and those people who are planning to gamble will have an awareness of what kind of impact gambling might do in their lives. Since most of the gamblers nowadays do not really know or do not really allot time to research about the possible bad effects of gambling, which became the reason why most gamblers are being shocked the moment they encounter a rough patch.

Letting the people know who want to engage in gambling all of the perspective there is in gambling, not just the good or the bad will help them decide if it's for them and if they can handle the risk that comes along with it.

The odds of you winning is definitely higher than those who just purchased a single ticket for the chance to win.

The more entries and the more risk you make, the higher probability of winning. However, winning the lottery isn't really guaranteed despite of you purchasing thousands of ticket. It's all really a matter of luck. Even if you'll purchase ten thousand and more, if the luck won't favor your side, then all of your ticket bets will just be all put into waste. I believe it's just really destiny that makes someone a millionaire through lottery.

I just hope that $800 is not an amount you can't afford to lose. Because $800 is a big amount already and you can already utilize it into something so much more. But if the case is it's only your spare and you can afford to lose it in the thin air, then good for you.

This makes sense.

It's much better to have ANN thread in the forum for quicker access and resolution of the problem. This could also serve as a form of engagement between the casino and the players. Having an active thread that contains the feedback of the players and inputs of curious members could possibly help them establish stronger connection among their existing players.

However, it's not really mandatory. It just provides a wider avenue to have the players' problems and concerns be tackled which could also provide an awareness to other people having the same concern as them. Fellow members can give opinions that could help the fellow members encountering a problem. The website can also gain potential players if it is seen that they have good customer service from the thread. It will just be the casino's discretion if they will put such to boost their reputation. Because having an accessible representative is a good quality which other might be looking for.

I never heard of this site as well. It seems that this website is really unpopular, therefore almost no one here in forum has heard of it. I assume that since it is not really known nor widely played to by the members, it's reputation and credibility are already questionable. One thing everyone of us should remember is that we must not engage in new websites or even old websites that haven't proven themselves yet to the community because most likely, instances such as this will happen,

If the casino do not have the reputation you can rely on, doubt it instantly. It's always better to be suspicious and on-guard rather than being scammed because of too good to be true offers. The moment you decided to deposit money and risk it on that unknown website, consider your money gone. Because situations like these will be hard to resolve if the casino isn't cooperating. Who knows what's the casino's status, right? You were enticed to bet and play more to win more, but there isn't really any guarantee you'll be able to withdraw all of that. Especially if the casino's status is also uncertain - if whether they are really operating with enough capital to pay the players or not.

Good for you then.

Being able to not give a damn about other people's opinion and perspective of you will really make a huge difference. Knowing that you are just minding your own business and not really disturbing other people nor stepping their rights is already enough to keep you unbothered of their unsolicited statements. It's just so funny that most people do not know how to mind their own business and to not be involved in someone else's life they aren't included to begin  with.

It's also good to know that you are being open about helping them to know more about gambling, if they will ask. Spreading awareness and imparting the knowledge you know to them will definitely help them to be more open-minded and perhaps they might have change of heart in gambling if ever gambling is already in bad light with them.

The best way is to cash out the profits you've made a day, that way you will not be tempted to use it when you lose all of you capital. Cashing it out could also be a way for you to easily see your progress or profits compare to your past experience as a gambler. Financial management is important even to gamblers, because most of the gamblers that I know lost all of their capital and profits because they don't know how to manage it well, they just randomly bet as long as they have money.

Your wife surely has the generalized perspective about gamblers instilled in her mind.

Usually, in the mainstream media, gambling is really a taboo topic. And being a gambler is not something to be proud of because of the negative connotations that come along with it such as branding gamblers as lazy, irresponsible, selfish, addicts, and have no self-control. The discrimination once people knew you are a gambler is really overwhelming which is why most gamblers prefer to keep it hidden instead of being bashed and hated by many by showing the skeletons on their closet.

If you have a close-minded loved ones, it will be really hard to come out that you are a gambler because you'll just be criticized. That's why I totally understand why some people do not tell their partners that they are gambling. While this is somehow show me a negative side which is lack of being open in communication and transparency, I can't really put all the blame on you.

Hiding it from your fellow church members could be a good option to do on your end because people who worship are sometimes the most judgmental people you'll ever met. They have certain standards and one of those is to display "holiness" attitude that should not involve any type of vices. You might be the subject of their gossip if ever they'll know about your gambling ways, so be always on your guard.

Your statement makes sense.

Indeed, there are many disorders and addiction that could be triggered by seeing different images, advertisements, and the likes. Reading various posts that can instill trigger on your end can really affect your way of thinking and your behavior as well. This is because by being triggered, you relive your bad memories, habits, and even the drive to do things you've already given up long time ago.

While preventing triggers could be a good idea to save someone from misery, it should be reminded that your healing is your responsibility and it's not the responsibility of the people around you. You are responsible for your own person. Treatment from serious gambling addiction is one of the good ways to survive with lesser probability of having a relapse. I very much agree that a person's struggle in addiction is their fight. Other people surrounding them could only do so much and adjust to a certain extent, but it won't always happen because as harsh as this may sound, the world do not revolve around you and your battle.

We indeed feel various emotions when we take risks in general. It's normal to feel many emotions all at once or even sudden change of emotion especially if the situation you are into quickly turns into something unexpected. Winning a bet can give a person the feeling of satisfaction, enjoyment, and fleeting feeling that as if you are on a cloud-9. However, the moment you lose, all of those happy feelings will fade away and turn into melancholy. We are humans, it's perfectly normal to have those emotions varying in scenarios we are in.

But for me, this isn't enough to justify that someone must not quit gambling or even do moderate and responsible gambling just because he feels all these emotions to make him alive. It's still a matter of discipline. Emotions are part of a human nature. Using it as an excuse just to justify your bad gambling habits because you feel like you exist and you feel high is just so wrong on so many levels. We should still be able to analyze and recognize every situation we are in. We should know when to continue and when to stop. We should control our emotions and not the other way around.

Doubts are the only one you can get in bearish market if you don't know what Bitcoin really is. Volatility is the reason why it has ups and downs, dipping is a good opportunity to buy, not to doubt it. But like what I've said, if you don't have any idea about cryptocurrency, a dipping price is a no good for you because you think cryptocurrency is a thing that would only go up forever, there's no such thing.

Those people who always doubt Bitcoin in a bearish market are those people that are always buying when it reaches another all time high and would complain not making any profits after that, because it keeps dipping again.

Of course when your funds disappeared in a certain exchange, it is their responsibility to compensate for your losses, they have to return all of the funds you lost in order for them to maintain their services trustworthy. Nobody wants an exchange that doesn't care about its users, that's why those big exchangers are doing everything they could to solve every problem that their users are experiencing.

Not your keys, not your wallet, and most of all, that's the scariest part because you don't have any control of your funds no matter how reputable a certain exchange is. Hardware wallets and cold wallets are much safer in my opinion, because you hold your own keys and funds, I guarantee that's much better and will let you sleep at night more peaceful.

Most exhibition matches are indeed scripted from the very beginning. It's almost an open secret. Although not every exhibition match are really like that because professional boxers has still pride. Most of them still want to win by doing their usual ways in boxing as a refresher as form of relaxation as well from retirement.

The good thing here in their exhibition match is that there are people who will also benefit because the money Pacman would get will mostly go to charity. Despite his age, surely Pacquiao still has the moves. He may be past his prime, but the training and discipline instilled to him will surely remain despite being out of the ring.

Some people prefer doing this , but they mostly place their bets after those famous personalities who are known to win big from betting. Personally, I view this as a risky move especially if you'll just copy a bet rrom an unknown bettor with no reputation and credibility to uphold. They might end up messing up and you'll instantly lose your money.

This way is widely known in trading as well. There are people who like to do copy trading and they mostly follow those people that are really good at trading to make the most out of their trade. But it's still so much better that you personally know how betting works and how much risk you are putting your funds into, so that you won't do the blame game afterwards.
