In an online casino, most of their requirements with their lottery live experiences have a designated month-only event, more particularly with Christmas, New Year, Halloween, and valentines Day, have a time frame only like those occasions in terms of physical lottery still depends on their requirements too, base on my country once you win and you didn't claim for a while you can claim it after couple of years once you still have the ticket of course with proper good condition to make a verification if this is legitimate or not. Before participating always try to read the rules and regulations.

What he did I think is what he feels is the best for him to have done. I believe he must have seeked the opinion of well meaningful individuals before he took that step because I know on a normal he could have just let his friends know that he would be traveling or changing environment and possibly might not tell them about his wins but they would have found out wether he told them or not but what matters most is his safety with respect to the amount of his wins.  Many people have that friend who only wants to benefit and not contribute and when it is time for merriment, you would always see them at the front singing and shouting your praises when they are not the reflection of what they do at the time of your reimbursement. These has made people to take such decisions of running away when ever they make it big avoiding their friends and most times relatives as well. So OP took such decisions based on his experience with his friends.

The entertaining part will be replace of aggresion to win back the losing amount of money that they use, if the person continue to look for a way to chase the money they already lose it will affect their emotional balance, meaning that it will reflect with how they will think about gambling and even they are trying to keep it as secret when chasing loses come out in their minds they will use additional money that not allocated to gambling, then lose it as well, emotional stress and more on focusing into gambling that may lead into addictions.

The first thing to realize newcomer to gambling is that the probability that he will lose more money than win is quite high. In games based on luck, he can change almost nothing over time, and in games in which the result depends on the experience of the player, he has a chance to become better than others, but it will have to spend a lot of time and money. The second thing you need to understand the beginner is that gambling is invented to tickle your nerves, and without high risks it is not possible.

Maraming nag akala kabayan , kaya nga meron tayong mga early adopters kasi nagtiwala sila na tataas ng sobra ang presyo, kung hindi malamang eh nung nag 100$ palang eh nagbenta na sila pero dba hindi? instead meron pa din tayong mga first holder na until now hawak pa mga bitcoins nila, actually meron nga tayo dito sa local na nag hohold pa din from 10 years ago ng bitcoin nya.
lahat tayong mga minsan naghinala at hindi nagtiwala , pero ang importante nagising tayo at nagsimulang maniwala kaya now mga Bitcoin holders na tayo at mga investors.

Just don't go all in. Start with a small, manageable amount you can afford to lose. Think of it like dipping your toes in the water before diving in. Always do your homework on the platforms and go for the well-known and trustworthy ones. Avoid those shady schemes promising quick riches because they usually lead to disappointment. It's like finding the right party to hang out at and you want the one with a good crowd and positive vibes. There are a lot ot tips here in the forum. You will do well. 

Hmm. It's true that gambling can affect someone financial status, but these individuals do really know it can crush them to zero if they got involved with it heavily, and when I say heavily it means addiction taking bet outside their financial capability.
Maybe because they think that we do have our own lives, stories from other people or experience from others does not necessarily mean that they have going the same fate, but with gambling there's just two way, winning and losing, comes at worst the losing streak and become addicted to regain their losses.
Definitely, some are not moved by other's stories unless it happened to them, not just with gambling specifically. Funny how they wanna experience some tragedy before realizing.

from my experience I only once lost the biggest loss in 1 session around $350 on a fiat bet on a roulette game and if I remember at that time I was overcome by very high emotions chasing losses and in the end I still lost everything but thats okay it made it the best experience ever I've experienced.

wait a minute you said you lost $200,000 in 1 session? If I may ask, what is your aim in betting such a large amount? to chase defeat or just for fun?
IMO, if you are able to bet large amounts, perhaps losing will not reduce your wealth because I am sure you are a rich person.

It's one of question which differs from person to person. How do you define richness?

I really want know if getting more degrees can make life financially better because I come from a country where their are no job and I have seen people that the only thing they can do in life is to read books, getting more degrees attaining all these degrees yet no still go job for them with good pay. Do think people who read in a region with slim job opportunities are doing the right thing?

I believe it's important to have a serious conversation with her about the world of gambling emphasizing personal choices and responsibility.
 It's advisable to discuss this before getting married. If she's raising this concern because you might have a gambling addiction you should work on finding a balance between family interests and your enjoyment.
But leaving gambling in my opinion I don't think that

But still, there are a great many people who consider some figures and numbers lucky for themselves.  
And they play the lottery in their own way.

Maya (Paymaya) gumawa na ng ganyan for sure nakita mo yun hindi mo lang na mention dito sa post mo. Kabilaan kahit saan ka pumunta sa NCR makikita mo napansin ko yun nung maglalamove ako. Hindi lang Bitcoin or Bitcoin logo ang nilagay nila but the whole "Crypto".

Para sakin para talaga tumaas ang awareness dito sa Pinas ng Bitcoin is gayahin talaga yung ginawa ng El Salvador pero kung sakalinaman malamang sa malamang matagal pa mangyayari yun.
