I still play casino games but seldom unlike before. I also prefer sports betting because I grew up following a lot of sports. I enjoy it and is still interested until now. I also prefer sports betting because I like challenging my knowledge and analysis compared to games that are purely or highly based on luck.

I am more focused on basketball, boxing and mixed martial arts. I am also an avid e-sport fan and is regularly betting on DOTA 2 and Mobile Legends. If there are casino games that I want to bet regularly, it would be poker.

same here! I rarely play casino or other card games recently, I prefer sports betting especially now that in our country basketball is known, though I'm not a super fan of sports but I'll find it interesting and challenging. there's nothing wrong with trying other types of gambling as long as we enjoy and manage our time and money. Well, that's nice to hear that you're a fan of E-sports too, to be honest, I'm more interested in mobile games, to the point that I'm playing the game myself, not just betting, I've also been a player of the game especially that mobile legend then Wild rift

Obviously too much of everything is bad. When you start at first, it is more like having fun before you know you start having constant fun and then addictions come in when you can do without doing such things. That is how it happens in gambling. Addictions start from stage to stage and before you know one is totally addicted, without knowing he/she is addicted.

One thing i dislike about addictions is the lack of awareness of the gambler. You will still feel like you're having a fun while gambling but you do not know that you have lost all self-awareness and you're in lack of control of how you are gambling.
This is a common mistake that all gamblers often make, they only think about their own pleasure, and often ignore other responsibilities because they are too involved in gambling. All gamblers have probably promised themselves not to lose track of time, to manage the limit of money they can spend, but we often break these promises. Yes, gambling addiction is very difficult to stop, because pleasure mixed with risk will always attract us to the same place.
Gamblers become addicted with increasing attraction to gambling because greed works in them. A greedy person can never keep himself under control. This is why these gamblers are more prone to losses. Addicted gambler is getting addicted to gambling then firstly understand his problem well and think positive at right time and don't talk about past. It is only necessary to look at the current problem and think about how gambling is causing danger in a person's life then the risk in gambling will be less.

That's right, sometimes whatever advice we give them, it's really hard to follow them because they're already under the influence of gambling addiction.  So, it is important to be aware of the possibilities once you enter the world of gambling, you need intense self-control and time/financial management, or if you feel like you are on your way to addiction, while it is too early to find another way to avoid addiction.

In my opinion, all those gambling streamers should be exterminated like the plague.  Most of them earn money by endorsing gambling platforms and streaming games with fake money, drawing in younger susceptible viewers vulnerable to addiction.  This is exactly why Twitch banned gambling livestreams.


This is one of the reasons here in our country why anyone found promoting gambling will have a competent case because usually these endorsers are not users in real life, they are just encouraging people to play because that is their job, to spread the word. about gambling and how to do it without any disclaimers to the viewers. I believe that the winnings they show in their livestream are not true and you can't change what is imprinted in my mind that they only use a set up account where they can only show winnings which is really able to entice the viewers.
224  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Kahihinatnan ng price pagdating ng bitcoin halving on: March 19, 2024, 08:39:22 PM
In experience for sure magkakaroon ng malaking correction sa market, sa mga nakaraang Bitcoin Halving always nagkakaroon ng correction, for sure yung nangyaring price pump ngayon sa market is kasama na rin sa effect ng Bitcoin Halving, dahil na rin sa ETF na news noong nakaraan lamang, ang iniexpect ko talaga ay babagsad ng malaking percentage ang Bitcoin bago ang Bitcoin halving, maraming mga newbies sigurado ang magbibilihan ng Bitcoin lalo na kapag nakita nila na malapit na ang Bitcoin Halving, kung titignan ang epekto ng Bitcoin Halving ay sigurado na makakatulong ito sa pagtaas ng presyo ng Bitcoin pero hindi hindi basta basta mangyayari lalo na kung maraming mga traders ang ineexpect na ito. Kaya maraming mga malalaking traders for sure ang magbebenta ng kanilang Bitcoin lalo na ngayon na tumataas na ang presyo at nahit pa narin ang All time high, so profit is profit pa rin talaga lalo na kung hindi mo naman balak na maglong term investment, ang suggestion ko talaga is magbenta na ngayon habang mataas pa ang presyo, I mean hindi naman kelangan lahat ng Bitcoin mo pwedeng maliliit lang na percentage muna pero ang point is take profit while the market is on top then reinvest nalang if the market drop para hindi tayo masyadong manghinayang if bumagsak man ang market dahil kahit papano nakapagtake profit pa rin tayo.


Sa tingin ko pwedeng mangyari yan this mid-year ng 2024 at yan yung dapat nating paghandaan, dahil after nyang sinasabi mo ay talagang take-off na si Bitcoin kasabay ng mga cryptocurrency na nasa top sa listahan sa merkado sure ako dyan. Kaya meron pa talaga tayon nalalabing oras para makapagtabi ng mga crypto na trip nating ipunin.

Samantalahin natin ang chance na ito, dahil mas mahirap makapag-ipon kapag naging green na ang merkado, dahil mahirap habulin ang tumatakbo na pasulong na habang hinahabol natin ay lalong bumibilis ang takbo ng hinahabol natin then in the end wala naiwan na tayo.

Possible ba talaga na bumagsak ang price ni btc kapag pumasok na ang halving season? if yes, and talagang bababa yung value nito, iyon na ang magandang time para makapag purchase ang ibang gustong mag invest at maghold ng btc for long term, buy low sell high. Tama ka jan mate, once na mag green nanaman ang market tapos doon ka palang papsok o bibili, medyo mahirap bg habulin dahil pataas na ng pataas ang presyo nito kaya kung by this mid 2024 mag sisimula ang halving, ngayon palang ay dapat nakaready na tayo.

The cost of things has gone up so much so that it's glaring. Imagine paying 5-12$ for an average meal you could get before for 3$. The jump cost is extremely high. Cooking a meal at home can cost you the same amount you would spend on eating in a restaurant. Funny enough people still afford all these things without complaining. My anger is that we make money to spend it all into our normal life expenses. It's difficult now to save or invest unless you part of the rich people in society. An average man has to just eat, pay bills, and survive.

In actuality, food is essential to our survival. People cannot remain healthy without adequate nutrition, which makes it difficult for them to work productively and make a living. Thus, it's imperative that we feed ourselves first. Our health is the most important thing, so we should prioritize our nutritional demands before other costs, like savings or investments. Future plans are useless if our current health deteriorates? Good health makes it easier for us to take advantage of opportunities, while bad health makes it more difficult for us to work toward financial stability.

Consequently, it is understandable why people allocate a significant portion of their resources to food. In essence, ensuring our bodies receive adequate nourishment is not merely about satisfying hunger; it is about safeguarding our health, enabling us to pursue opportunities, and ultimately, improving our quality of life. Therefore, it is perfectly justifiable for individuals to prioritize spending on food to maintain their well-being and maximize their potential in life.


Very well said, almost all people, when you ask where the large portion of their salary goes, they will answer that it is for food and other essentials, which is I think, it is right that our number 1 priority is food because it is what we get strength and other nutrients in the body, many people focus more on food even without vitamins as long as they eat properly, they are okay. Many people work just so they can eat and survive in life, so we can't blame why others are satisfied with what they have, even if they don't have savings or investment as long as they have something to serve on their table.

This kind of accusation does really need out that kind of proof because having these kind of assumptions without solid evidence doesnt really have no sense. Well, we do understand that there would really be those kind of assumptions basing up on those probabilities specially when they are on the losing condition or situation on which because of such manipulation they are really that losing big time.
It would really be that totally a pure deception if ever the casino would be tweaking out with those influencers account just to make it as a constant winner or something profitable
on which it would really be poking out someones interest to play and making registration right away on the time that they would be seeing it.

The thing is that it's hardly possible, to make them constantly win or win big amounts on those slots they are playing during their streams. Normally it's all slots by known providers, reputable ones. If any of them were prone to deception, it would become a known fact immediately.

Well, it's possible, especially if your are one of the reputable and well known influencers, they will offer you a huge amount of contract just to endorse, play and to keep silent as well. Recently, there has been a lot of noise in our country about this because some influencers have issued a statement that they don't own the accounts they use to stream, that's when you'll have doubts, especially when all of their streams are winners. it always comes out, of course, it is necessary to show only winning so that they can encourage the players more. Still no evidence because he said it verbally, so much better if there's a proof for documentation.
227  Economy / Economics / Re: Why are some countries being sentimental with bitcoin and the cryptos at large? on: March 19, 2024, 12:04:06 PM
The government wants to be in control. Above all things, this is one of the things that matters the most. If a government perceives Bitcoin as a threat to its operations, they would want to throw it out. I don’t believe that any country has really rejected or banned Bitcoin because they were trying to protect their citizens. And it’s equally not about embracing digital development because if you look around, other digital technological ideas are being welcomed with no problems.

Politicians often claim that everything that they do is for the benefit of the citizens of their country at large, but often this is not the case since they support that what it benefits them, and bitcoin is not really something they will support wholeheartedly.

However, since the population of several countries, like the US, are investing heavily on it, now they do not have too much of a choice but to try to claim that they are in favor of it, even when the time comes to create laws around it, they take the opposite stance and they try to regulate bitcoin as much as possible.

and we all know that what they are doing is not for the good of the people in their own country, They are always looking at things that will benefit for themselves, that's how greedy the people sitting in the government are, everything will be claimed and everything will be interfered with even if it is not a must. When it comes to bitcoin, they will certainly interfere because they know the value of the money of the people who invest in it, fortunately here in our country the government has not interfered too much when it comes to crypto but it is not unlikely that they will do such things and decisions especially when it comes to money.
228  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Internet connectivity - Gambling wins/losses on: March 19, 2024, 09:02:14 AM
Have you guys experienced any loss/win out of the issue with internet connectivity. I've mentioned about wins/losses, but mostly people get affected negatively when there is connectivity issues. I personally believe that the internet connection is also a reason with our gambling wins. Here it is about casino games and not sports betting.

Most of the time I gamble using the mobile device. The connectivity speed varies between locations and I've encountered with the rolls taking more time as well as the the rollers moving within the bar with sudden visibility. When I check the provably fair functioning, it does right. But, my mind has a thinking our loss is due to the internet connection.

Does any of you have similar experience or thinking.

One of the minor reasons of destroying our momentum in playing but I can't say it is the main reason why we lose in gambling because sometimes even if our internet connectivity is good, we rarely win. It's valid that we will regret it, but you don't need to blame everything on the internet unless you're sure that you're going to win, like you need to confirm an amount and then suddenly the internet goes crazy, such sample scenarios, but if you're in the middle of the game and suddenly there's of the problem, you can't blame the connectivity because you're still not sure that you're really a winner.

Yes, what you said is also true that we do not need to be too excessive in blaming something that is not really the cause as well as interference with the internet connection, because after all we never know about the actual results at the end of the session whether we will actually win or not, one of the reasons is because gambling is nothing more than a probability activity which means that maybe you will win but maybe you will lose at the end of the session, of course it can never be known even if you are very skilled.

This means that we have to go back to the original understanding and understanding of the basis of gambling which is always about uncertainty as to the outcome at the end of the session, I understand that having an internet outage when you are gambling is quite an annoying situation but on the other hand you don't need to be too disappointed and regret it because you don't know the end result, and I would say that disappointment and or excessive annoyance at something like internet interference is normal if you are basically at the end of the session where you see that it turns out that if there is no internet interference then you can win the game, but if the result turns out to be a loss then I think you don't need to be too excessive in blaming other things because even if such coincidental interference does not occur it is not certain that you can win.

Exactly, it's really annoying because if your game is interrupted just because of the loss of internet connection, it will really ruin your gaming mood and it can even cause you to lose focus on gambling. It's valid what you feel and we can't stop blaming others but at the end of the day, we know what really happened and we have to accept that the chance to win might not be in our favor, it's more fun to gamble without any grudge in our heart, let's just think that next time we will be the ones who will experience victory.

Hi everyone,

Gambling has become very popular in the world , especially after the changes that have occurred over the years with modern technology and the abundance of games, we can now gamble with one push    anywhere and anytime . More money is flowing to sites and casinos in huge quantities, and everyone’s goal is to win more ,As is always known, if there is a loser, there is a winner, and I don't think that the percentage of losers is greater than the winners .

Is this true gambling is not place to make money is place to lose it?

partially yes, what you mentioned is true but we have not calculated the number of winners and losers in a gambling so we cannot say if the number of losers is more than the number of winners. For other gamblers who have been in the gambling industry for a long time, they always consider that a Gambling house is a place to make money, why did they say this? it's simple, because most of them made gambling a stable source of income or their career

Majority talaga sa inyo pabor na magkaroon ng stable job. Meron yun rin naman talaga ang safest lalo pag meron family. Ako kasi walang pamilya na pinapakain kaya kahit sa tagtuyo ay buhay pa rin dahil pwede naman ako makitira kay erpat at makikain. Cheesy
wala ng pinaka masarap pa sa may stable Job or good running businesses , kasi  merong income na pumapasok aside sa ating mga investments and passive incomes.
ang swerte mo kabayan dahil wala kapa pamilyang sinusuportahan at meron kapa magulang na pwede masandalan , kami kasi  obligado na kaming mamuhay ng sarili namin para sa pamilya.

Quote
Maswerte ang mga meron naipundar dahil sa crypto. Kaya pagsikapan ko talaga sa cycle na ito na magkapera ng malakihan. Goal ko talaga this year at next year ay magkaipon para kung kaya apartment or kahit boarding house dahil pag hindi maliitang business na lang.
wow, gandang target naman nyan , magkaron ng sariling Boarding house or apartment.
uunahan na kita batiin kabayan dahil alam ko makkamit mo yan tiwala at tyaga lang.

Iyan talaga ang da best. Meron regular na income pumapasok na sapat sa panggastos araw-araw at extra pang emergency funds at pang invest. Tumutulong naman ako sa parents kabayan dahil galing lang din kami sa simpleng pamilya at yung bunso kung kapatid ay nag-aaral pa. Di rin kasi ako maarte kaya kaya kung mabuhay kahit sa napakaliit na budget.

Magdilang anghel ka sana kabayan. Meron pang mga halos 2 years para kamitin yan. Mukhang sa altcoin ako may pag asa makapag multiply. Kaya ngayon pa lang simulan ng pag aralan mga potential coins dahil inaasahang mas malaking bull run pa ang mangyari sa sunod na taon.

Tama, maganda yung ganyan na hindi lang tayo nakarely sa investment/crypto as our source of income lalo na kung ang hanap mo ang stability, dapat marunong din tayong dumiskarte at mag plano ng maayos. Kagaya mo mate, bilang breadwinner, pinag aaral ko din ang bunso kong kapatid at tumutulong sa family kaya hindi din talaga pwedeng mawalan ng trabaho kahit merong crypto.
231  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Naranasan Nyo Na Ba Na Masisi Dahil Sa Cryptocurrency on: March 18, 2024, 09:38:05 AM
Naranasan nyo na ba na masisi dahil sa Cryptocurrency, dahil sa dalawang scenario una ay dahil sa pag encourage mo na maginvest at nung mag invest ay bumagsak ang price kahit na iniform mo sila tungkol sa volatility ng market.

Pangalawa ay hindi mo nai kwento sa kaibigan mo ang tungkol sa Bitcoin at nung tumaas ang price ay tsaka mo lang na ikwento ang kita mo sa Cryptocurrency, gayung matagal na pala sya naghahanap ng mag aadvice sa kanya tungkol sa Cryptocurrency, nasisi ka nya dahil nag secret ka sa kanya ng tungkol sa Cryptocurrency.

Yes, the latter part nung nalaman nila na nag ccrypto ako lalo na dito sa forum, sumama yung loob ng iba kong kaibigan dahil bakit hindi manlang daw naikwento, edi sana matagal na daw silang nag invest or pinag aralan nila ito.. pero ang hirap kasi mag explain sa kanila lalo na kung wala silang kahit konting idea at isa pa, hindi ko naman ugaling nagsheshare ng mga bagay about sa ginagawa ko lalo na't itinuturing ko itong confidential dahil may involve na pera. Hindi ko din basta basta dinidsclose lahat kahit dito sa forum kasi ayoko din ng maraming expectations galing sa mga nakaka alam.

Nasisi na rin nga ako dyan kasi nalaman nila nung nakabili ako ng lupa at meron na sila nababasa tungkol sa Cryptocurrency pero wala naman sila idea, hindi mo naman marnganyo mag invest yung mga kakilala ko kasi may takot ka rin na malugi sila at pag ugatan pa ito ng hindi maganda s ainyong dalawa kahit sabihin mo sa kanila na pwede silang malugi.
Kasi ang ikakatwiran naman nila eh bakit ikaw kumita kaya ang approach ko mag Google sila at manood sa Youtube, nirerefer ko na lang sila o tinuturuan kung saan makakahanap ng advice o suggestion ayaw ko magsabi gn particular period o coin para mag invest problema na nila tutal pera naman nila yun.

Ganun nga kabayan, kaya hanggat maaari ang hirap mag refer or mang hikayat na subukan din nila yung ginagawa natin, hindi naman sa ayaw natin silang kumita pero kung kabisado mo kasi ang ugali ng iilan sa kanila, parang mas gugustuhin mo nalang na ikeep sya sa sarili mo, since considered ito as part of income natin, confidential talaga sya. Hindi kasi lahat ng tao, maiintindihan kung paano talaga ang tamang way to earn money here, kasi kahit hanggang ngayon ay inaaral padin naman natin ang bawat galaw dito, kumbaga continous learning talaga and knowing them na gusto ng easy money at hindi pinaghihirapan ang pera, hindi talaga nila deserve na turuan dahil alam ko na yung mga pwedeng mangyari and tama nga ang instincts ko, magkakasamaan ng loob.

For me, It's not that difficult to save, it's just that we need to have proper allocation of our budget and just live within your means,
One of the reasons I see why a person can't save is because first, when their salary or income increases, they also increase their expenses in life, it seems that it has become normal for most people now that instead of just saving the increased income or put in investment, what they do is they add their other expenses and liabilities because they think they deserve to do that just because their income increased. There is nothing wrong if we want to try something different or buy expensive things for ourselves because we really deserve it, but shouldn't it be better to prioritize our savings and investments before the luxury In order to reduce such complaints like this? Just a disclaimer, I'm aware that we don't have the same expenses but if you already know that you're running low on budget, maybe you should also assess yourself to see what things you can cut so you can save money.
233  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can you stake on a potential(obvious) loosing team just for love? on: March 18, 2024, 08:35:38 AM
This type of emotional support is often coming from die-hard fans. The casinos bank on these fans to make the wrong bets too. Cool

This is why sports betting is popular and leads to a number of fans losing their money for free on game nights. For being a good sport bettor, one has to keep aside these emotions and be calculative. But is tough for those who love their teams too much.

It often better to just not bet and enjoy the game with some food and drinks.

yeah right, better to stop betting and just enjoy the game with good food and acquiantance, right? kidding. Of course we can't do that because it's more exciting to watch the game and supporting a team with some top up bet amount, so you have something to look forward at the end of the game but we need to be more cautious on the possible outcome of the game and don't expect something from the team that you support, just enjoy in your seat while having a bet.
234  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Is Legal In Our Country But if You Promote It Online You'll Go To Jail? on: March 18, 2024, 08:10:39 AM
Honestly, I don't understand the rules or laws like this in a country, people are allowed to gamble but they are not allowed to publish the results of their gambling activities such as when you get a win that you want to show off in the public eye or anything else that smells of gambling and will be subject to quite severe penalties if you end up breaking it. But if you look at the gambling access provided by the government which is in the form of real or physical gambling that you can find in various corners of the city then it seems that in my opinion the government is trying to limit gambling from most children, because as we know that this is the digital age where children today spend more time playing smartphones when they have free time such as after school.

Or simply your government seems to only allow adults to engage in gambling and is trying to cut off the reach of gambling from children so they made this kind of regulation that prohibits anyone from publicizing it by posting on some social media, but it could be that my prediction is wrong, but I think it doesn't matter because this is my point of view for this quite confusing regulatory issue. Cheesy
It's basically saying you are free to gamble when of legal age but keep your gambling activities to yourself which is not a bad policy in itself. I personally have no problem with that since you don't really need to brag about winnings and encourage others to do the same or follow your footsteps. Most people who post such things are looking to earn from referrals or from sponsorships so it's better to just cut it off.

Usually the only ones who post about gambling are those influencers and vloggers where they promote gambling on different social media platforms without thinking that many minors are likely to watch, that's probably the purpose of why there is a law about that whoever is found posting about gambling will be charged. Yes, we know whether gambling is legal or not in our country, but no one has stated whether promoting it on public social platforms is also legal.
235  Economy / Gambling / Re: How to self exclude from anonymous gambling sites on: March 18, 2024, 07:45:17 AM
The key on here that you would really be able to completely stop is on the time that you would really be having the control. You wont really be needing any staking or locking up some funds
or whatever kind of gesture you would be making because it would be still pointless if your mind is still that fixed on playing gambling in the end of the day.
So the key point on here is about control and moderation on which these things wont really be an issue in speaking about gambling activity.
you are right, but the solution in OP is also worth considering for effective steps to reduce gambling addiction even though they have spare funds and they will not use higher funds to fulfill their gambling desires, reducing addiction requires steps to improve financial management and managing time for gambling, if we follow With the right instructions, gambling addiction can be overcome gradually until you are free from the influence of addiction.

Actually, everyone has a different way of dealing with gambling addiction problems and they succeed in their own way, so let's support positive ways even if they don't give maximum results because avoiding gambling addiction is very difficult than we imagine.

Everything you said is correct and is really effective way to help us how we can reduce our gambling activities and to avoid ending up in a severe case of gambling addiction. that's true that we all have our own steps to follow to avoid things that may happen to us when it comes to gambling, but we must know how to follow our own ways and show our dedication to doing all the rules we made for our own.
236  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Stop gambling if you don’t have free time to do it on: March 18, 2024, 07:28:41 AM
I’m always a victim of this mistake before when I’m still allure on online casino. I keep playing every night after work. I always play until midnight which makes me consume most of my rest time for my job preparation tomorrow.

The result is I don’t have much energy at work due to insufficient sleep and I lose funds on gambling because I keep playing quick due to my limited time. The effect is very disadvantageous to me since I both lose in these situations. This is the reason why I change my gambling pattern significantly that limit me to play only during weekends when I don’t have job tomorrow.

This is an advice based on my experience, don’t ever insert gambling on your schedule if you really don’t have free time for it because it will always result to disaster in both gambling and your life.

it seems almost the same as a thread here about gambling while working but the only difference is, this post of yours is about gambling before your work starts. Well, if you know that you have something important that you need to take care of and prepare for your work, you shouldn't have used your little time to gamble, because gambling is tricky, when you say you will only gamble with a little time, you will realize that you have been playing it for a long time so It's good that you noticed it early OP, It is difficult because if it continues, it can affect you and your work if you influence gambling. We will always think that nothing is permanent today, everything can be lost if we don't value it and we always take it for granted.

I've seen headlines about Bruno Mars getting addicted in gambling and even has got a debt of $50M in Vegas. I don't know if that's for real but with a lot of news coming out and those headlines that have published it all together.

It's very likely that the news is true.

But I haven't seen him release a statement about it but if it's true then there's no need for him to hide it and just say that it's real and will pay the debts.

I've been reading a lot of news about him and the amount of speculations and rumors that appear on social media, especially on X. Even if we say that Bruno Mars has not released a statement yet, there are a lot of people giving comments and mostly people seeing him gambling in a casino in Las Vegas but X turned down the tweets about him especially the ones with attached photos of him, so it seems that all the news about him is true. Tho, there is nothing wrong if he gambles because he is using his own money, but he has many fans who are under the age of minors and he can be a bad influence on them, especially if he gradually neglects his career.

First of all winning is something that brings joy to you as a person that won but in our society, now, so many people don’t like hearing good news from others, because of  of wickedness and it also make them remember their losses and how they are frustrated after they have lost so many gains at the past so each time they hear about winning from someone beside them or close to them it make them feel bad it make them think but they might be happy with you at the moment if they leave there, they start thinking about a lot and it’s may even cause and jealousy so sometimes it may be advisable to keep your winning to yourself not to escalate it to avoid more issues and problem, sometimes a life-changing winning shouldn’t be silent it Has to be escalated That is the way of life.

Yes, as one late billionaire said, envy is one of the few human vices that will not bring you any benefit. On the other hand, envy, especially white envy, can motivate a person to achieve some kind of achievement. Inspired by the achievements of another person, we ourselves strive to achieve the same thing. For example, when someone gets rich by investing in Bitcoin, it creates jealousy and motivates other people to look into investing and learn about Bitcoin. If someone wins in gambling, then it creates motivation for those people who are jealous to study gambling.


there is nothing good about being jealous because a lot can happen in a person's mind when it is influenced by envy. There are other people who are inspired and really motivated when they see other people rise in life but based on what I see around me, there are more people who have bad things to say when they see the good things happening in our lives, crab mentality? people will never lose that kind of attitude.

Hi community,

I remember when I was in middle school, we used to play cards almost every day, and our stupidity reached the point where we would skip classes while we were inside school. The method of playing was easy, as the largest number was the winning card. So, some of my friends and I would gather in the middle school bathroom and make bets with the money that we had collected  from selling cigarettes.
Of course, this is not something I am proud of and I do not recommend it to everyone, but it's just childhood memories .

-Have you ever bet at the wrong place and the wrong time?

I haven't tried this kind of betting experience when I was young, the first gambling that I've tried is card games as well but Me and my cousins did it during summer break and that's how we used our school break. Fyi, our parents didn't know that we were playing card games because for sure they will get mad to us. Time flies really fast, I miss those experiences when we were kids, we just had fun and didn't take things too seriously, unlike today when we have to work hard to survive.

It’s not something that we can control. Game of luck defines that, it is a game which is controlled by luck and not skill. We cannot do anything to modify or control our luck. If your luck is good, or if you are lucky, then it doesn’t matter what multiplier you place the bet, you will definitely win. On the other hand if your luck is not good, and you still bet on 1.01x, then in this case, you can lose also. Hence gambling is considered as game of luck and not skill.

Very well said, Gambling really depends on how lucky a person is and when luck will favor him, but there are some gambling that depends on your skills and analysis, especially when it comes to card games, so there are a few people who are really good at it and knowing the right way to play that specific game, but of course luck will not be lost because there are instances that no matter how good you are or how long you have been playing it, if luck is not on your side, you can lose.
