It's possible to win the lottery although the probability is really low most especially if the number of balls to be drawn is higher.

I've seen the news too and most people really feel that the result was rigged because there are numerous speculations about winning the lottery every time saying that the bettor who won also belongs to one of their staffs. We can't really blame the people to be doubtful if they witnessed unfair and corrupted upbringing in their environment. We can only educate them.

According to a statistician, it is indeed possible to have a winning numbers with multiple of 9 , and having many winners all at the same time, although the chance is really slim which corresponds to 1 in almost 29 million. Perhaps this is what the people are clamoring to be manipulated because of the almost close to impossible odds, but it could really happen. Unless the streamed draw is recorded, then that would be cheating. However, there is also no proof that the draw isn't live because they always do it live in accordance to the rule of transparency. I suppose the 433 people are just so lucky because the odds were on their favor during that day.

Indeed, anything that is too much and beyond control is harmful. That's why they always say that always do things in moderation and responsibly. Because if you won't establish boundaries and limitations, you'll just end up hurting yourself in the process and it might lead into something serious that is more difficult to address such as being addicted to it.

Addiction is cannot be treated overnight and you might as well do your very best to avoid falling victim of it. For me, despite the percentage of winnings is greater than the losses, one must not go beyond his budget allocated for gambling especially if he already spend the amount intended for it and that is what he can only afford to lose. The phrase "one more game" is actually a deadly one because it could be continuous until you no longer notice you are being caught up playing. Just set a specific time frame for playing and a specific amount for your budget in gambling and do not ever think of going beyond it to ensure you'll keep your discipline intact. 

Investments in casinos are only noticeable if your share is a big percentage of the overall. That just means that to attain such felt interest and profit coming, you must also have a big amount at stake on them which may equal to hundreds or even millions especially if we are talking about a big casino which have built their name and reputation for the past years and is still being patronized by many.

It's also risky to invest in just whatever casino you know is operating now because in order to guarantee or at the very least maximize the potential of your money to grow, a casino must be well-known and used. Background checking is a must and hastily deciding shouldn't be an option. It would be a suicide mission if you'll just careless invest in something you don't know about. Their target surely are those who can invest millions, but they also accept those little investments. Just be reminded though that the moment things don't go well, they will prioritize first their biggest investors so still, be cautious in picking and deciding whether where to invest and how much you will risk.

Las Vegas is really one of the most famous places that a gambler must visit, they say. It hosts many casinos that you can play with depending on your preference.  Las Vegas is famous for various resorts and casinos which offer premium services and games they can play in actual. I've seen many pictures and articles about Las Vegas gambling and casinos. If I'm not mistaken, most of the tax generated by Las Vegas comes from the casinos that operate.

Someday, I would love to visit it too if I'll have the chance and try some of the famous casino's house games. Because aside from the fact that gambling is fun, we can't deny that Las Vegas has a beautiful scenery as well especially during the night where neon lights signs are on. Personally, I find it pleasing to the eyes and it gives off a good and playful vibes. Indeed, gambling can be a source of flocks of tourists. Although it's important to have in mind as well to know the basics and rules before playing because you are just a tourist and you should be responsible to your actions. Ignorance doesn't excuse no one after all. It's always better to always be on your guard.

The moment you asked for an opinion, you should always be ready for the different suggestions from the people. There would really be various perspectives because each differs from one another. They experienced something that the others didn't and therefore they will have unique thoughts and viewpoint that could affect their judgment.

The advices you read here in forum and you hear in your everyday lives could be positive or negative. Now, it's just really up to you whether you follow those advices or just see through them and still decide on your own. After all, not every advices here are guaranteed to be correct and foolproof. You are still responsible of your own actions and for the consequences that come with it.

Not every cryptocurrency that you can find in the market will give you profits, especially if you're doing spot trading and hodling, buy low sell high kind of strategy. That's why I agree that you need to make a research first before buying anything in the market. It's better to confidently hodl your coins in the long run because you know their potentials, unlike if you'll by random coins thinking it would go the moon in the future.

In gambling, there are really risks. You have to know them to avoid encountering and if ever you do encounter them, minimize their effect. I have a bad experience too in gambling. This one would be categorized in gambling more than what you can afford to lose. I happen to know that it is risky to invest and bet in something that you are not knowledgeable of, but I still risked the chance. Way back, I was one of those who are curious and explorative but not really strategic so instead of it becoming the success I'm dreaming of, it became a nightmare.

I risked into investing in NFT back then without really digging proper background of it. The hype it got was at its peak so I decided to give it a try. However, shit really happens from time to time and it slowly faded into background. Although it's still ongoing until now, I don't have the confidence that it will soar as high as before. Or even soar a little because of the short demand of it. But the good thing about it is I learned my lesson. It's just that I learned it the hard way. Since there's no point in crying over a spilled milk, I just licked it and started over again. You see, in every tragedy, we learn a lesson or two. And I think that's the most important part. Although if you can, do your best  to learn from others experiences and mistakes so you won't suffer the same hardship, unless you are a masochist.

Instead borrowing fiat from a bank, or a loan shark, with a high interest, why not just wait for the bull run and sell half of your Bitcoin in the next ATH and use that to invest in properties, I guess that's much better than lending because if the bearish season will be like the past one, it's gonna take some years before it gets bullish again.

Kudos OP.

The best time to teach them is when they are young, and you just did it. Young people are the curious once and introducing Bitcoin to them was the best idea. I hope you'll continue to guide them until they are earning Bitcoin to support their financial needs and their family as well. It's always nice to see people's life getting change because of thr revolutionary Bitcoin.

God bless you people.

Your good grades and academic achievements will only matter inside of your school, because mostly your job will requires another set of skills which you will learn while working. Also, your ideal job when you were studying will never be your first job but something you're not expecting because you don't have a choice. Other people chose not to be an employee because of low salary, however it requires high standards of employees, pretty ironic.

This is very complicated I think, especially it's an online business since Bitcoin transaction takes time before you receive it. But if you really want to apply it, I think using cold wallet is better since you're going to receive from different addresses. It's indeed profitable in the long run but I think customers will lose a lot since Bitcoin is very volatile and spending for example an $8 product plus transaction fee right now would be more like $16 when Bitcoin's price pumps again.

Anyways, this is just my own opinion.

Whenever there's a "free" money on a certain faucet or whatsoever, always make a new wallet and use that to connect on them, that is the safest way if you're really hoping that you could get the "free" money without risking anything in return. You just have to outsmart them, simple as that. If you don't really know the site and it's smells fishy, just don't do KYC just to finally get your "free" money.

Pretty much a waste of money I guess. There's nothing special about them, because you could exactly what it does, even more to be honest. Trading bots are for those who doesn't have any time in trading, which is pretty ironic because you're supposed to spend your time on it to make sure you'll get enough experience and profit that'll benefit you in the long run.

I'm gonna invest 50% of my fiat on it, because going down up to $1,000 is a great opportunity to buy Bitcoin and hodl it until it goes back to $68,000 again, and that would be a quick profit maker anyone could have, than storing you fiat in a bank profiting  couple of pennies yearly. However, most of people will probably not invest because of FUD "Bitcoin is dead" and then buy at a very high price which is very illogical.

I was doing the same OP but I stopped. I've guided some people on how cryptocurrency works, especially Bitcoin, they were happy about it in the start after they knew how much profit they could make on it in the long run. However, the impatient ones blamed me because they were keep on insisting that Bitcoin is not going to pump again, way back 2018 when bear market hits, and they did panic selling, which they regret when Bitcoin pumps again.

Since then, I never guided anyone because I'm very disappointed on what happened. You guide them, teach them, and yet they would blame you when red candles appears. I don't like those kind of people. Hopefully that would never happen to you OP.

Card counting isn't really illegal. If you will do it by yourself and will not use other people or device to count card for you, then there's really nothing wrong about it. Although some casinos prohibit such because it stirs unwanted attention and causes some trouble which means they are breaking some house rules in physical casino, so technically, you'll get kicked out or banned in their property because of conduct and not really by counting cards.

But if we are talking about online casinos, perhaps you might want to read their terms of service first before trying to use a card counter because some online casinos prohibit it. If they happen to detect that you are violating their rules, then you might suffer some punishments such as withholding your funds, being suspended, and yes, being banned. So you better check first before using any software or external devices that they can detect. Otherwise, you'll suffer the consequences and inconvenience later on.

As far as I know, virtual reality, augmented reality, and metaverse are different things.

Virtual reality replaces completely the things you see in your surrounding using some sort of tool such as virtual glasses or vr box to show the newly set and readily made place or reality. Meanwhile, augmented reality just adds on the view you are seeing. AR adds some elements or objects on your line of sight and it is usually done with the usage of smartphone camera such as the game which trended before Pokemon Go.

Now, metaverse is a completely different thing. While it relates to virtual reality since it features a virtual realm as well, it differs in set up. Metaverse from the word itself is a multitude of universes. It is comprised of different virtual realities. It is interconnected and you can do many things inside it. It does not limit you from becoming entertained only, but you can do various things such as modifying the reality you are staying in and creating one too. You can enjoy while having the possibility of generating income too such as in planned metaverse casinos which is a plus for those who want to explore something new even they are just inside the comfort of their homes.

Metaverse is slowly being developed and I know for sure that many games and even for shopping or strolling purposes will come out of this idea. Given that there are already plans about making a meta shopping, it's possible it will be used for other things as well that will bring satisfaction and convenience to the users.

Few days after the issue about Sliker went out, many streamers expressed their disappointment of Twitch's policies regarding streaming gambling content because many streamers are bypassing the terms set already and the platform don't really make necessary actions about it. Hence, they started to make a noise to be noticed by Twitch stating that they will discontinue using the platform if they won't update their terms of service and ban other gambling content which the platform adhere in their request.

Twitch stated that they will ban streaming content about gambling related to unlicensed casinos in US for the greater good of many. Twitch also said that they will review and update their policy and the changes will take effect on 18th of October. They mentioned several casinos that has made big reputation already and said that they will name the others as they go along the process of making Twitch safer for the viewers and streamers. Hopefully, they will really strictly impose all their rules and policies to each and everyone because currently, they have many loopholes which they still don't attend to such as the all over referral codes and links about gambling sites that cater games which are supposedly prohibited, but it seems it is not because you can see it all over their platform.

Way back, license is just an option for the casino to get whether they feel the need of having one or not. However, due to many issues and concerns raised by the players such as being scammed or casino illegally holding their withdrawals, license became a necessity for a casino to legally operate. As far as I know, most countries now require gambling casinos to have a license, otherwise, they will be declared illegal and will be forced close by the government. Maybe there are still some countries who donn't require such, but they are probably so few since developed, developing, and underdeveloped countries are now particular as well with permits for a business to run.

License is also one of the many things that a player looks for in finding a suitable casino for them to play with. Because playing in a casino that has license will give them peace of mind and a form or assurance that they will not be scammed or left hanging. The ease of mind while playing and the moment you want to withdraw funds is what the players are looking for. Hence, most prioritizes to play in a casino that has one. If you opt to do not get license, your patrons will be limited to those do not really bother whether the casino has a license or not, because all want is just to play. But take note that players are smarter now so they prefer to be safe than sorry later on. Since without license, they will easily doubt and will be paranoid from time to time. Finding another casino that has one will be easier than to suffer from the consequences once the casino turns out to be a scam.

We really do not owe anyone an explanation of the things we do and want to do. It's our life and it should be none of their business. Although oftentimes, these people do not really know their boundaries and keep pestering around thinking we owe them a lengthy explanation of why we do things and how we do it. They will keep on bothering you and spreading gossip around, but all of that our already beyond of our control.

The thing we can control is how we will let their negativity affects us. We can either shove it away or be so hurt to the point that we'll end up sulking because of other people's opinion of us. It's our choice. It's just really saddening that gambling has a bad reputation and being linked to it will automatically means that you are doing a bad  thing already when in fact you aren't. If you know it to yourself that you are a responsible gambler, then go on with your gambling ways as long as you don't step on others in the process. If you know your profession will be affected the moment you gamble, then better not do it at all. Some profession and career path really prohibits gambling because of their nature of work and of course, to maintain their good reputation such as being a public servant and being an accountant or whatever profession/career related with public service and like you said, financial related work.
