I very much agree with this.

Discipline is one of the key principles that needs to be acquired and honed by gamblers and those who want to enter the gambling industry. If it weren't for this trait, majority will fall into addiction and dependency on gambling. If someone lacks it, it's likely they will encounter financial problems and other kind of troubles such as time management and health related ones. Hence, it's important to master the art of self-control to avoid straying too far to the point you can't recoil back to a healthy playing and betting routine.

As far as I know there's a limitation as to how many accounts you can do with a single identification card. Most casinos only allow one per ID, but some app permits until two. And if it's more than that, they detect it and do not allow the user to push through. The attempts to make multiple accounts using single ID can be monitored and detected already so there's a low chance of having many accounts named to one person. If someone somehow managed to still do that, certainly he bypassed the system which calls for the necessary actions to be taken by the casino to enhance their security.

A system crash or glitch is most likely the reason why someone can cheat in gambling. It seldom happens, but when it does, a lot of players take advantage of the situation for their own benefit, especially those people who are in gambling for profit as their main purpose. It's not really advisable though to take advantage of an error because eventually, the casino will catch up with what's happening and will be able to pinpoint who abused the system for rewards and bonuses. And when that happens and you became flagged as one of the abusers you might face punishment including but not limited to account restriction that could impact your playing routine and even your winnings the moment they withhold it for security reasons.

It's really important to be wary about the scams and schemes circulating online. It's good to be aware and vigilant rather than cry over spilled milk later on due to negligence. Hence, it's really good that a player will take note of his digital footprints to trace whether the information you shared is still safe or not.

For me, nothing beats playing on reputable website as to being careful to not fall into scams. Since it's becoming inevitable to have a verification or KYC, the least you could do is to only sign up to trusted websites if you will undergo the verification process to ensure that your private information will be kept with confidentiality and not be sold on third parties. There's a risk, but compared to signing up to unknown sites, it's much lesser. And we can say that your info will be safer. Still be always on your guard though to avoid any preventable instances while gambling online.

I guess it depends.

If you're discipline enough, I believe being short when it comes to money is preventable, because you have extras on your bank or maybe in your vault. I assume your friend must put most of his funds to bitcoin that is why he is now being frustrated on how he's going to pay the bills, etc. or maybe his salary isn't that high to sustain his needs and responsibilities as an adult.

That's why it's important to have more source of income to avoid selling your bitcoin in a price that you're going to regret it.

The 24 hour rule for me should be a week rule, because that gives me enough time to think if I should really buy it.

It's not that bad to spend your money over some things that you wanted as long as you can afford it and you're not spending way too much based on your salary, if I'm not mistaken, you shouldn't spend more than 10% of your salary to avoid wasting your money in the things you only wanted, like new clothes, eating in fancy restaurants more often, buying luxury items, so on and so forth.

For me, the safest way to make an online or even an actual transaction using fiat or Bitcoin is through a middleman.

You cannot risk your Bitcoin in an online transaction with a total stranger that you've known online that wants to buy or sell Bitcoin to you in exchange of fiat. I'd rather spend using a reputable middleman than to risk my money even though I know I have a lot of choices to make the transaction safe as much as possible.

Don't be a cheap person when it comes to the security of your own money in any kind of transactions unless you know the person who you're transacting with.

It depends if I have the capability of solving the problems of poor people, I am willingly going to solve it for them.

The problems of poor people are much worst than the problem of the rich people, because they've suffered a lot of challenges in life. They always thinking how they should eat 3 times a day when day can only afford eating once a day, or in a bad day, they don't even eat a decent meal, how are they going to get a job if they don't have the qualifications to be hired, how are they going to survive if they don't know anymore what to do to feed themselves or their families, and many more.

Regardless, gambling should only be approached with extreme care whether if you're into entertainment or money making business because if you're not careful enough and don't have the proper mindset before commencing then don't be surprised that you suddenly have gone overboard than your supposed allocated budget towards your activity.

It's not that we're still new to this stuffs, in fact, we already got tons of examples just to get us away from addiction and debts but sometimes, situations do come in an unexpected ways that is why we should be ready for it.

Indeed. Gambling should be seen from a perspective that isn't too much. Most of the time players see gambling as an easy way to generate money when it clearly isn't. It's high time to eliminate this kind of idea and belief so that other people won't  be tricked into entering it without proper knowledge beforehand. Sure, it can be fun past time and entertainment, but that's it. It should still be approached with limitations just like any other things. It shouldn't be relied on as money maker or as some sort of therapy, rather should be done like any other thing responsibly and moderately. This is to avoid unnecessary financial obligations from loans and debts and to avoid addiction altogether.

Personally speaking, I won't exploit it. Simply because it will just give a short-while happiness and probably give a whole another level of headache the moment the casino finds out about the unusual activities done by your account. And with this, they can do whatever they deem necessary to your account which includes and not limited to suspension, restrictions, and permanently banning. And for me, it isn't really worth the risk. It's better to report the glitch on the system instead of leeching off it because every actions has its consequences you have to weigh.

Well, this is because they have exceeded their limitation in gambling to the point that they have become dependent on it. The moment players get used to the cheap dopamine that gambling brings, it will be hard to quit. Setting gambling aside when it's what their world is revolving around will be a difficult task since they will eventually try to keep looking around to satisfy it. And to stop this, they have to look for proper medical intervention. It's no longer an option to be carefree and complacent when you are addicted to your vices since it could consume you. 

I agree with this.

It's important that we should be wary of every loan to take and only use it for important matters such as spending it for necessities and for emergency purposes. One must not borrow money intended to be used for luxurious activity such as gambling that is risky to begin with. If you think you'll get profit by betting and playing, you might be right, but be reminded that it isn't guaranteed. Hence, taking your chances to borrow money for gambling use is not really recommended because you can't be certain that you can pay it off before the due date the moment you lose all of it.

This is why it's important to set boundaries so you won't get swayed and eventually be lost in the process of gambling. If you are lucky enough to experience several wins, be contented and do not aim for more especially if you know it to yourself that you don't have what it takes - the skills, information, and luck needed in order to win. Because clearly, being so hopeful can bring you down as well. If you won't stop being ambitious and greedy, you'll likely taste losses first hand.

You have a point.

It still depends on the person himself whether he wants to disclose his gambling habits to other people. Because apparently, not every place is a safe place for gamblers. There are still discrimination and stereotypes whether we like it or not. And these might be a factor why some are still hiding the skeletons in their closets. Perhaps they don't feel safe or comfortable with the idea of other people knowing their hobby or past time because they might be judged without knowing the whole context first or knowing them in depth. And we can't really blame them for that. After all, it's not our business to meddle with.

So maybe a good advice for those people who don't want others to find out their habits is that they should look after themselves. Check for patterns that might be harmful in the long run and cut it off immediately the moment you notice it. This way, you won't fall into addiction.

This is the dark and worst side of being a gambling addict. It's hard to acknowledge these, but it's the truth. Most often, those who are addicted to their vices do the vilest things just to satisfy and fulfill their desire. Moral compass is no longer on the table for them the moment they want to achieve something. It's harsh, but it's the reality. When these people no longer prioritize their needs and no longer cares about their surroundings, things will get chaotic even more for them and for the people around them.

Hence, medical intervention is needed in order to combat gambling addiction. If there would be no proper move to resolve it, it will just worsen and God knows what will happen next. Self-destruction is one thing, and perhaps they can go low as you mentioned like destroying their loved ones lives or doing illegal stuff just to be able to gamble.

This makes sense. Indeed learning never ends. It is a continuous process especially if you plan to gamble consistently as well. There are arising games and strategies that you have to know and learn as time passes by, so it's important to take some time and understand it to maximize your chances of winning. If you won't do such, then you are planning to fail for the long term. Gambling requires skills and knowledge. These two come back to back, but so does luck. Because if you aren't lucky and favorable enough, the odds won't side on you, resulting to losing despite knowing so much.

So it's better to gather information, plan strategies and techniques, and be hopeful that luck will be on your favor to win the bet and plays you will make. Combination of these is still the best IMO.

Well, prevention is always better than cure. You must know how to control your cravings and urges in gambling so you won't get dependent on it and addicted in the long run. If you will be impulsive in playing and betting, the chances of you throwing and burning money because you want to chase winnings is ridiculously high. Since quitting once you get used to gambling is very difficult to do so, it's better to learn how to limit yourself than to do it later on when you are already drowning. Hence, you won't have a hard time going hiatus if it's no longer being beneficial to you already.

Some people use gambling as an escape, but the thing is, it might even become a thing that you must escape from again. It really depends on how you will utilize gambling for your own benefit. It's best to do it moderately and responsibly to avoid the harsh repercussions.

In government, most of the time, the reason is either because of power or money. Government will do anything just to have power over any countries as much as possible, to have control over and to have so much money.

In people, the reason is because of hard times, they need to make a bold decision to change their life, either it's going to be a bad change or good change. Sometimes we need to get out of our comfort zone to have something more, or to grow even more, for better future.

I definitely agree with you.

Trading using signals from signal providers are not profitable in the long run.

Because if suddenly the trading signal providers just stopped their service, the profit will also stop to those who are availing their service most of the time. Self study is the best because the knowledge will be engraved in your brain forever, no fees or whatsoever. Being independent is so much better rather than trusting your future to other people.

These things you have mentioned are always being experience by newbies, because they are expecting too much from themselves even though they know that they are just starters. For me, even the bad trades are important, because from those failures, you're gonna learn more than what you can learn from winning.

The only thing they have to do is to calm down, take a rest instead of chasing their losses, because you can't gain something from a clouded mind and messed up decision making.
