Being patient and consistently involved in healthy gambling habits will surely make you a successful gambler.
That's a statement that could be interpreted in various ways and I feel like it's worth it to clarify that there's no guarantee of success in gambling. Especially with all chance based games, the longer you play, the greater the chance to bust your balance. It's just how gambling works. House edge exists and it's there to make sure the game operator can sustain hosting the games they do. So patience is good overall but not in persisting in gambling... Patience and calm is needed to know when to stop, especially after you've lost your money. The healthy gambling habit would be to see how much you're earning, risk only a small part of that money and never go beyond this amount with what you have. There's no guarantee of success in gambling. In fact, If you do not know how to control and balance your bank roll and emotion, it will lead you in a downfall. Every individual has a different perspective and characteristic, some of them may develop a healthy habit and i can't disagree with that because in reality, we have see some gamblers who consistently playing but they never experience lossing their whole money because they know their limitations and they stick to their own rules about gambling. However, some of people became addicted to it even if you gave so many advices to them but greed prevailed them |

I'm in "Never Get Greedy" because when we do this, for sure you will not end up addicted to gambling, and for sure you will be a responsible gambler because you will also limit yourself to only playing moderately.
You are the kind of gambler who, when greed doesn't enter your life, knows how to limit whether you should continue playing or not, whether you are already winning or losing at the casino. Apparently, in everything you do, you are aware of what you should do as a gambler.
Being a greedy gambler first comes with the reason or purpose why the gambler joined to gamble and bet, you know that life already had really dealt with some people whereby they think gambling is their only last means to result with, so each time they are gambling, they will have to exhibit this level of being greedy in it because they wanted to win and instead, they may be loosing because greediness cannot but complicate the chances for winning. Its easy to be said but the truth is, it's quite hard to apply the "Never get greedy" qoutation once we are on a gamblers situation. I believe some of us gets greedy at some point, espcially if there's a huge monetary involve. being greedy is a nature of a person once they feel the excitement and eagerness to win, to the point that a gambler might forget the things that they've set to their self while they are gambling. |

I believe this is coming from his parent who have simply failed the boy without them knowing, a 17 years old boy shouldn't be chasing money, instead they should be chasing skills and talent, in this age range money should be the last thing to start hunting for, this will possible make you a useless person, and you will join bad group to find short cut to making money, this is why many youths are into drug dealings, robberies and even scamming people.
agreed, while i do believe that young kids should learn discipline and financial control they shouldn’t be stressing themselves over money too much it’s still always their guardians’ responsibility to provide for them until they are of age kids who grew up too fast often feel regret later on in life even if they’re financially stable already because they feel like they’ve sacrificed their youth and there’s no other way to bring time back There's a thing called balancing. balance about having a mature mindset while enjoying things that a typical kids did. Well, you have a point that young kids doesn't need to be stress about financial matter because it's their guardians responsibility and obligation but every kids has a different nature of family and life, some kids might feel stress because of their poor situation that's why some of them developed a mature mindset at very young age, hmm Not because a kid is chasing a money or has enough financial literacy doesn't mean they will end up being a scammer or drug dealer. I'm sure that some of them will gonna regret not enjoying the things while they are young somehow, but they'll finally see that it's all worth it at the end. |

I sold our family land and used the money to invest on bitcoin. Initially I told them I want to sell the land and use the money to travel abroad. If I had told them I wanted to invest it in bitcoin they wouldn't have allowed me sell the land.
If I am a member of your family, I will also be very angry at you first because of the deceitful means you have used in making we the members of your family allow you sell the family land. And also because of that, Say I am a member of the family that has no knowledge of bitcoins, I will also find it difficult to see any investment in bitcoins you have made as true because you lied already in the first place. If I a member of your family who have knowledge of bitcoins, I will not give you commendations for your actions to invest in bitcoins. Return back the money for the land back to your family immediately you are able to make profit from it. I really dont know why that person would you trade his/her family land just to have a money to invest in bitcoin? the land itself is one of the major investment nowadays, If I were his family member, I'll be upset too because of what he did, selling the land without giving the real reason why. In fact, Investing in bitcoin is very risky due to its volatility, there's no certainty when its price goes up and down unlike the value of land, It appreciates from time to time. For me, It's better to invest in bitcoin if you have your own money to use, not from the money came from the property of your family that you've sold. |

The OP's thinking may be a good one in wanting to help others, but in this case, I'm not sure whether the man is a gambling addict or simply lonely, so they seek help for the fun of gambling games. Because I also came into contact with a similar case, but on the contrary, the person I came into contact with taught me that I should not be exposed to gambling games much but spend more time with people around.
And going back to the OP's story, I just want to suggest that you regularly discuss understanding better with your neighbor, to know better and why he likes to gamble, and definitely need advice if he's deep into gambling.
That's exactly what I thought, feels like his neighbor is having a hard time and feeling lonely because he's the only one left in his house together with his caretaker. Maybe gambling is one of the reason so that he can't feel the loneliness that he felt. If i were OP, I will talk to him at first and I'll never give him an advice as long as he didn't request for it. Also OP may consider of inviting his neighbor to do some other physical activities so that his neighbor's attention will focus on other activities rather than gambling, also to lessen the use of mobile devices which affects his neighbor's health knowing that he is a senior citizen. |

It is hard to specify an age because things are different from places, beliefs, and conditions. In rich and modern countries maybe most people can easily attain financial stability when they feel the need to be serious with life. When we're young we always think about money while old people value time as gold. There is nothing wrong with enjoying life or saving and living a serious life early. Some people were also born rich and money is not a problem to them.
What is sure to me is we need financial stability when we think about starting a family or having a kid. It's not a choice anymore but it's about being responsible.
It's quite difficult to say what is the right age in being financially stable at this moment because everything is so expensive. If you're a typical individual who's living paycheck to paycheck, you aren't able to achieve the financial stability that you want unless you're having a business or other source of income with double or triple pay than your Primary source of income. Living in this society makes a person become more open to the idea that everyone needs to become financially stable at the young age which it should be. If you really want to retire at the age below 60 years old, You must make a way and do some actions on how you can be a successful individual while you are young. |

You're right there, dude. We just need to use our sources of income for the right expenses, and if we spend something out of the budget that is unexpected, we should also know how to save extra for unexpected expenses like emergency reasons. Now, the question is: what if the source of income is insufficient? How else can you save? It's simple: if you're the resourceful type of person who won't allow you to be short on expenses, you'll find a way to have additional income to sustain other expenses. It's that simple, right? For that to make it possible, making a list of your expenses would be better. By doing that, excluding the unnecessary expenses will be an easy task. Putting the unnecessary expenses to the needs/savings for your investments or emergency reasons Finding additional sources of income or changing careers for a better salary to sustain your daily needs should be the primary option. Having difficulty managing your expenses due to inflation, there's no way for an individual to overcome even if you lessen more of your expenses, other than considering these options. That's one thing that I always did since then and now, having a list of monthly budget is very helpful so that I can track my expenses and to know if I've overspend in some things that is unnecessary, Also I separated my expenses for needs and wants. I opted out buying personal things especially if my budget is limited for basic needs and bills only. I agree with you, to sustain and to balance our needs and wants, Highly recommended to have another source of income or you should upgrade your career with a high salary offer. |

I'd like to ask the community I have a newly moved neighbor he is a widowed senior citizen and he lives alone with a house helper, all his children are now professionals and he is a pensioner, we talked a lot about many things I just noticed that he is very active on online casinos and other gambling activities like lotto and cock fighting every weekend, his children do not know his activities and I'm afraid he is getting addicted.
Should I give him advice on how to manage his gambling activities or I just let him since he is just enjoying his senior years and doing things that he missed doing when he was still young? and what's the right approach, we all know senior citizens are sensitive to criticism.
- I don't think you need to advise him anymore because he is just enjoying his life; he has finished or fulfilled his job as a father to his children. As far as I can see, gambling is just a hobby; just let him do what he wants to do, and I also think that he is satisfied and happy with the life he has reached and for his children as well, in my opinion. Then you know that most senior citizens are sensitive, and do you think they should take gambling seriously? I don't think so. You have a point, You can approach him politely or talked with him about on what he's doing but dont give him an advice if you're not asked for it. Maybe what you supposed to do as a concern neighbor is to check him if he's okay or you can accompany him if he needs someone to talk to, I think playing gambling is one of his coping mechanism because he just misses his children or possible he is sad. You're right, mostly senior citizens is very sensitive in everything that's why i suggest to not interfere in his hobby. Just let him enjoy his retirement life. |

I woke up from such dreams long ago and now I am in the future because my past has taught me never to dine with an old lady who never showed me the road to her home, even though she promised to take me to her palace.
Just being sarcastic anyway, but hey mate never put your trust in gambling because doing so can ruin your life, I have never expected anything outside fun from gambling, I don't know but I believe gambling can never make you rich, or give you a platform that can aid you into filling any dream.
It can make a people rich somehow, as long as you have your own strategy on how to gambling. It can ruin yoir life if you let gambling take over your whole life. We can't deny the fact that there's some individual who became rich because of winning huge value of prize, those are individuals who knows when to stop playing once they hit their targeted winning amount. winning in gambling is considered as pure luck as othery people say but if you accompany it with your own self strategy in playing, possible it may help you how to win and give you a great reward in the end. |

on: November 06, 2023, 03:33:55 AM

the very first time that i told my parents specifically my father is when I really need help and seeking theirs is my only option before my own family blown up.
I asked Him to help me out as I am an addicted gambler and losing everything each day in gambling , even drowning to debt from one place to another because of continues addiction.
lucky that i managed to get out with the help of my parents and family and now am a proud freshly living .
Telling my parents that I utilized some hours of my working days to place wagers on games, trust me when I say, they would be really mad at me. Ofcourse they would do what they're expected to as any other responsible parents, shouting and giving me advises about th strict negative consequences that follows, for me, I've chosen to remain mute with my activities cornering the gambling system. Addiction is definitely not easy to stop, but with the provided aides from our parents and love ones, quitting can be made easier because we already have in mind and determined to quit notwithstanding the current attributes that follows. I also expect that reaction because that will frustrate them because None of my parents got involved to gambling since they was born , both of them are gambling haters all their life but happy about their reaction when I needed them most , sorry for your parents reaction but I believe that it is a normal reaction because of what we have done. and also it is our obligation to take all their madness because it is not easy to accept what is important that they still helper us out and make us a better person after that. That's an initial reaction of a parent once they know that their child is into gambling. If I am going to be a parent in the future, I think I'll be like that kind of parent that will get mad at first once I know that they're involved in any gambling activities particularly if they are in a young age which is not good for a child to be expose on some kind of activity. Maybe our children will listen to us if we talk to them calmly and explain the pros and cons of gambling properly. Regardless of their age, there still a parents who always think about the welfare of their child. |

~snip~
Therefore, if we have found another way to overcome gambling addiction, we must also be able to manage it well so that we do not become addicted to other things. We also have to remember that everything in excess is not always good for our bodies or our lives. The important thing is that we can balance everything so that our lives can run well and in balance. We don't need to do things that we feel are difficult to do because we also need to adapt to our abilities to do them, but it is useful for us in overcoming the gambling addiction that we experience. However, when we can start reducing our gambling activities, it is a good sign because our minds are no longer dominated by gambling so we can do other things easily.
And by balancing everything, we can be comfortable in living each day while we are still trying to get rid of the gambling addiction that may still be within us. And with good activity management, we can slowly cure our gambling addiction and we can definitely live a normal life like other people.
I think that's one of the best ways to get rid of a bad addiction, switch it with a good addiction. For example, get that "high" from going out for a run, or creating something. That's a much better use of your limited time on earth than gambling. At the end, it will probably require much more time to have a negative consequence from those positive addictions than gambling. Do you mean cross addiction? I think that's a good idea but you have to know that all excess activity is not good for everyone's physical and mental health, If someone might replace gambling addiction to a good addiction like physical exercise or other thing that has a positive outcome to a person then it's good but there's a tendency that even a good addiction might cause something bad also. Much better if a person will teach how to balance everything so that it can't lead to any obsession. |

A lost private key is the memory I do not wish to remmeber, when Bitcoin was at its early days, I had a wallet I often used for all those shitty Bitcoin mining sites, I lost the private key to the wallet and it really did hurt as I believe I have some coins in there. Also, the fact that I spent one Bitcoin subscribing to such a miner is a provoking memory
I kinda relate to what you've said. I have the same situation where there is a certain site or wallet, I lost my private key because I was unable to save my private key and then suddenly I experienced a problem with my computer. While using my computer, it turned to a blue screen and needs to reformat. Every file on my computer needs to be erased. Even now, I want to forget about what happened by then. Same on what I have experienced, I was to complacent that time because I know that I secured all the wallet ID to a private filed in Hdrive but suddenly a fortuitous event happened, there's no notification about software update or what, All the wallet ID has been lost in a blink of an eye. Charge to experience that's why today, I have At least 3 Back up for my Files because we didn't know when it will happen again. |

Forcing someone for learning something is a kind of foolishness. Because everyone has their own interest. All though I am interested crypto. That's why I will try to teach my children about crypto world. I have interested from my childhood to do work in online and become a freelancer suddenly I found Bitcoin talk and that increase my interest on crypto market. That's why I am here because I have interest and to know about cryptocurrency. If my child have interest in this I will sure teach him but if they don't have interest I will not force them to learn I will say learn what you like.
I agree on teaching them about bitcoin at the right age and the right time, But if your child is in such a young age, I think it's better for a parents to support and to cheer them on the things that they really want to do. Let them free on the hobbies that they want for now, the day will come that if your child is interested in crypto, they will come to you to ask about how crypto works. |

keep our kiddos away from gambling and let them focus on their studies, else it'd actually ruin everything for the whole family if the kid takes the wrong path.
I think it's a grave offense if you expose your kids to gambling at a very young age, it will become a big conflict in their fertile minds if they see their parents taking a chance on their hard-earned money in a gambling platform, we teach our kids the value of being a hard worker and on earning a living in a right away and gambling will ruin this value. If we are going to gamble do so away from your kids' eyes, they will eventually know you are gambling but it should when they are adults and they will not be misled in their thinking, we want our best for kids and we don't want gambling in their way for a great future. If you really like gambling, you should not show or tell your children about gambling, because it will damage their future if they are interested in gambling which will have a bad impact. After all, hard-earned money is better saved or invested in something better than gambling. Especially with the current situation where young children are used to operating cellphones well, this makes them vulnerable to accessing gambling because currently there is a lot of online gambling that can be accessed only by using a cellphone. I myself, if I like gambling, I will hide it from my children, because I don't want them to know about gambling when they are not old enough, because the bad impact can damage their future. So in my opinion, children should not know their parents' habits if they like gambling. Better to do that if you don't want to sacrifice the possibility that your child will also take that same path, it's a different perception with each opinion that we can't control the future and for a responsible parent it's a must to make sure that we are leading our children in the right direction, showing or letting them see us play and enjoy while we are inside gambling and doing our sessions with enjoyment carries the kind of thinking that it's just okay and there's no harm if they will take that same destination and we never know what the impact will be when they grow up and when they already doing it on their own. We all know that a child's curiosity will lead them to the wrong path, just like that, if they're still exposed in an environment wherein they can see that the people in their surrounding is playing a gambling and doing some kind of thing which is not suitable for kids, there's a tendency that they will do the same thing in the future. Today's society makes it very easy for children to be led to digital addiction. Based on the article that I've read before "Some young people have told me that they first started gambling because they simply wanted to understand what was in gambling for their mother or their father, who were absent from their lives in many different ways." |

It's hard to stop when you are already in the momentum either you are experiencing losing streak or you are in positive with good numbers of winning streaks, most of the time, instead of quitting your way you will push your way to play more, thinking that there's always more positive outcome that can happen or if you are losing chasing that money and trying to recover is also part of those big factors to lead you in becoming a gambling addicted person.
There are many side effects and it will be depends on different types of gamblers who failed to control and being dominated by gambling addiction.
Yes, that's right, when we have won, of course we will continue to place bets to be able to get even bigger wins and of course we will spend all the winnings we have so that nothing is left behind, including the capital we brought to place bets. This happens because we cannot control ourselves in gambling, therefore it would be good for us to be able to control ourselves so that we don't get addicted to gambling because if we are addicted to gambling it will certainly have a bad impact on us, especially in terms of finances, we will spend more money on gambling rather than for our own needs. There's no good intention in our life once a person became addicted to a gambling, No matter how many times we advice to them to have a self control in playing, they wouldn't listen because their mind focused to the other side, aiming to win and to get the grand prize. Sometimes even if they have no money, they will find a solution like lending a money or selling some of their personal things and properties just to get a money to sustain their addiction. |

Personally I will not play unless after some bonus/free games... its much easier and efficient the classic on line experience.
Haven't try the telegram casino but yeah, there's a lot of casino game circulated online so better for the gamblers to check and to review its legitimacy so that the gamblers can avoid scam games. Though I am rarely use Telegram since I'm using other social media sites, I think it wouldn't been fun to play, It still better to play in authentic casino web based site. |

As we are the ones indulging ourselves in our various habits, it would be difficult to actually know and later drop such habit when it’s starting to be detrimental to our financial and mental wellbeing. And if our partner can notice it earlier, it’s best to heed to their advice and better quit before we get ourselves and our family ruined. You don't need for that to happen if you know yourself and you know that your habit is a problematic one that can be detrimental to your relationship, you should make a move to break that habit from the start of the relationship, that is if that relationship is a serious one because there are other types of relationship that's not that serious so you can probably work with just limiting your time on that habit rather than breaking it. I think that if you're to start a family and you're in too deep in the relationship and then that's the only time that you're planning to break the gambling habit, you will probably have a hard time or you're going to fail. Well, once you're committed or you have your own family, You should prioritize them rather than your leisures in life. Even if your partner knows that you are into gambling, it's better to minimize or stop it already even if they didn't ask you to do it. Nobody wants a broken family so Dont wait the time that gambling will be the reason for being in that situation. If you knoa that you're going to be addicted into gambling, talk to your partner or seek an advice to the professionals. |

This often happens to people who work at night, like security guards or employees who watch over companies during the late hours. It can get really dull during the quiet night if there's no other entertainment, but it can also be a bit challenging. gambling might become a common pastime for those working at night, as long as they don't draw too much attention from their boss as long as the situation remains safe. It seems like their boss is sound asleep at home, so there's no chance of a surprise inspection or getting fired for being active at night.
For those who work during the daytime, they might have to hide their gambling activities or do it during lunch breaks. the most important thing is to be careful with security cameras and also to be mindful of the money you put into gambling. Don't let all your hard earned money from a day's work go to gambling alone. that's not a wise move.
But once you're working at night and gambling at the same time, there's a tendency that it will affect you either the work or gambling because this may results to out of focus. I agree that working at night is not that strict when it comes to your daily productivity and working behavior but it depends on what type of job do you have, example a Customer service representative, you aren't able to gamble while working because there's a required productivity/vall log counts needed and a lot of pending task that you need to be done. I suggest to focus on your work and gamble once you're shift is done. |

How many of you have dreamed about having your casino? Be the house and play the always-win game.
There are many other business in the world. I have dream to have a business but casino or any other gambling site like bookies has never been on my mind. Although it is lucrative to have casino business or if you have a gambling site because you will always make money from people as they will continue to lose more than win. To start and maintain a casino is not that easy too, you need money for it. If you are planning to have your own gambling business, please know that it requires a lot of money and it needs a well defined business plan, careful planning and industry expertise because this is not a normal type of business. you need to secure a funding (scout for investors) in this business and there's a lot of legal process before you build it. Casino business is considered as the most profitable but casino business can be a complex and challenging endeavor so it is crucial to carefully consider the various requirements and factors involved. |
