441  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price is rising faster and faster, It is time to Buy Bitcoin ! on: March 07, 2024, 09:21:40 PM
Bitcoin price is rising faster and faster, It is time to Buy Bitcoin now before it is too late !
I mean, I don't want to sound rude, but where have you been in the last 18 months? Bitcoin price has been rising for more than a year at this point, I understand that is not easy to catch the bottom but after $20-25k it was pretty clear that it would have gone up. There have been months to accumulate, I really don't understand those who are buying now, at ATH...

Maybe it's possible that in the past 18 months, he hasn't started buying or investing in bitcoin? There are many possible reasons, maybe he doesn't have the money yet or he is really just waiting for the right time when he can invest. Anyway, the price of bitcoin has been going up for a long time so I can say that those who were first here are lucky, and because bitcoin is increasing, you feel that many people will come in and invest in it due to hype and FOMO, but the thing is, they need to know how to do it and not creating impulsive decisions.
442  Economy / Economics / Re: Why does a country borrow money from the world bank even when they can afford it on: March 07, 2024, 09:07:48 PM
Well, most countries cannot fund all the large projects from their tax income, so to expedite these projects, they borrow money from developed countries.



That's what our country did, especially when the former presidents of our country approached and made friends with other presidents to borrow money, but the worst part is that there is no concrete plan to use the money they loaned, and the people who will suffer are the people who pay the right tax, but what they pay is not benefited. funny right? Then with the size of our country's debt, maybe until many generations have passed, our country will not be used up or able to pay.
443  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling mistake repeated by the gamblers on: March 07, 2024, 11:34:41 AM
Being greedy and overconfident usually leads to high betting, random betting, and of course loss of winnings. Instead of withdrawing the winnings, they continue to bet larger amounts, hoping that they'll win more, but the result losing their entire bankroll. In my experience, I already have seen how being greedy and overconfident quickly turn winnings to lose. So, it's very important to always set clear limits, be disciplined, and most importantly not chase your losses for unrealistic profits. Learn from past mistakes.

it's sad to say but it's true, there were a lot of incidents like this before but why don't people learn from some past mistakes? maybe also because they expected a bigger win, in most cases like that, they are the bigger losers because they were given the opportunity to withdraw the money that they have but they missed it. No matter how many times we say things that shouldn't be done, if the person you are talking to has a closed mind, All your advice will be thrown away.
444  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Making decisions while betting on: March 07, 2024, 10:56:21 AM
I agree that emotions do play a role in our decision-making process, especially when betting. It's important to be aware of your emotional state to help you pause or assess when making rational choices. Stay calm, take deep breaths while betting to compose yourself. Set clear limits, set a budget and stick to it. And do not forget to take breaks, especially when you are feeling overwhelmed or emotional while betting to distract yourself and regain perspective. These are strategies that can help manage emotions while betting.

Roght. Keeping tabs on your emotions when you're betting is smart. Take a breather, do some deep breaths to stay cool in the heat of the moment because having clear limits and sticking to a budget is like having a game plan like keeps things in check. It's all about finding that balance between fun and staying on top of your game. So yeah being mindful of your feelings is key to making betting decisions that you won't regret later

It is necessary when you are in the middle of gambling, the focus of your mind should be only on gambling, or else you have firm decisions and plans to make just in case you need to. Keep your mind calm while gambling so that you can't make an impulsive decision that may affect your current life/gambling status. I agree with you, Taking a deep breathe will help you to lessen the nervousness that you may feel.
445  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best way to go about making a crypto casino. on: March 07, 2024, 09:48:38 AM
Since you are already in the gambling industry, why don't you use your network to find developers who want to work with you? I don't have any knowledge in crypto casino development, but as far as I know developing a crypto casino is not as difficult as you imagine. All you need is to find a consultant who can direct you and a programmer who understands crypto, blockchain and casino games. It shouldn't be difficult for you to find such people, or you can hire a headhunter to help you.

It's not that difficult but you need to have a huge budget for that so you can hire expert developers when it comes to programming and developing some website updates and the amount needed for that is no joke, it should be huge because the paying salary for the people you need to hire is indemand and we live in a digital world wherein IT developers are the top highest paying rate in the world
446  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How often do you win? on: March 06, 2024, 07:24:00 PM
It is safer to keep a mindset of both win or lose anything can happen.

Definitely a wrong decision to gamble their life savings away, rather use it to travel the world and see some nice places before you last days. However for the addicted gambler the second option might not be attractive enough and they will gamble it away.

Of course the player will win less or rather lose more but if they realized this they would not be gambling anymore.

There are many other things worth putting our money into, if you really want to spend the money you have on gambling, it's better if you think about it carefully, there are many "what if's" that you need to think about before you finally do the gambling. This is not applicable to people who have been gambling for a long time, especially to those who are already addicted to it because they are not really able to give advice and talk, those kinds of gamblers need professional guidance and that is not easy because usually these are undergoing Rehabilitation.

It is best you gamble when necessary not because you want to chase your loss and win back you money, many are victim of this circumstances and for me is a bad practice and this might make you not to employe your gambling skills and roles because you inhast in your decision making. What is your opinion on this?

Chasing losses is one of the major reasons why some gamblers turns to gambling addict. Indeed, there is nothing wrong if you take back the money you lost as long as you don't forget your limitations on when you should stop. That's what other people do wrong because they want to recover the lost money and at the same time they want to grow the money they have, they can no longer control the time and spending habits they do, until it becomes a routine and leads to addiction.
449  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which type of gambling have more gambling addicts ? on: March 06, 2024, 11:03:41 AM

Gambling is gambling regardless of what type people are into. Becoming addicted to gambling has one denominator and that is to chase those wins. Sports betting, slot games, roulette, card games, physical gambling, and any form of gambling, since these activities can give gamblers decent money in return, that's where it becomes addictive. However, instead of winning, losing always happens and these gamblers don't realize how much they are losing now just to chase that win.

The continuous attempt to chase that win is now the start of becoming addicted to gambling.

Of course every game has its addictive members but the question asked by op is to know the game that produce the highest addicted gamblers and that is football gamblers or except you don't accept that football produces the highest number of gamblers and if it does, it means it is also plausible that it produce more losers who try to play back and chase back their loses. Addiction is as a result of loses that come as you are gambling. Like we know how we gamble to recover what we have lost and a gambler who is not emotionally balanced can become addicted in it.

Based on my own observation here in forum, the most addictive type of gambling is the slot machine because it is very interesting and easy to play,  which can lead to a huge losses in a very short time. As I said, slot machines are the most addictive type of gambling I see. This is also the first thing I tried to play when I entered the casino hotels here in our country, less than a few minutes, the money I inserted suddenly disappeared. without having the experienced of win. Since it's easy to play because it's all about pressing the button, the chances of winning totally depend on your luck, which is why players become more aggressive to play again and again because they are challenged by what's happening.
450  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To what extent have you hated yourself due to your gambling losses? on: March 06, 2024, 10:18:13 AM
Lol, it depends on why you are gambling.  I mostly gamble for entertainment.  In that case I really could care less on at least small types of losses.  Even the bigger ones it comes and goes.  If I had a good time that night in the casino then we'll it was all worth it and just the cost of a night out.  Don't take it too seriously and it becomes a lot easier to deal with.   

It's easy to say don't take gambling seriously, but when you're in the situation, you might not be able to do everything you said. Gambling does different things to people's minds, many lose their minds because they can't control what to do when you enter the world of gambling. We don't know the mindset of all people why they gamble and why they get to the point where they take playing it seriously? why are many making it a source of income even though it shouldn't be? Why do so many people continue to lose and are in huge debt but continue to gamble? It's hard to explain, isn't it? So no matter what you say that people shouldn't take gambling seriously, you won't understand until you are in their situation.
451  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Another health benefit of online gambling on: March 06, 2024, 09:56:53 AM
I think each type of gambling has its pros and cons. Depending on each person's preferences, they will choose to play outside or play online at home. Maybe crowded and cramped spaces will make us more susceptible to infectious diseases, but I think we don't need to worry too much about those things, because we can get infected anywhere, unless we just stay indoors. This is the case where you clearly know his illness, but suppose you go to a restaurant or a shopping center, there are thousands of people there and there will probably be someone near you who has the illness that you don't know, right?
Personally, I still prefer the experience of gambling with people around me rather than playing online. Being able to compete directly between people, along with discussing and chatting together while playing cards is a very interesting feeling, online gambling can hardly give us those things.

It heavily depends on the area you are visiting your favourite land-based casinos in. You say you like chatting with people around? Lucky you! It means they are good people to spend time with. Not all areas are like that.

And normally there are chat boxes in online casinos where you can chat with people too. I personally enjoy chatting in poker rooms, and I wouldn't say those the only places I chat with gamblers. Dice lovers are pretty nice to chat with too.
It's really lucky when you find someone to talk to inside casino houses because one of the things I noticed inside the casino, People are too serious and focused on what they're doing, or even if they're not doing anything, you can't just talk to them because they are deeply thinking. I don't know if it was because of their losses or some other reason. Most of those who are in the casino, there are different reasons why they stay in that place, they can release their stress better when they find someone to talk to who is a fellow gambler.
452  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is AI going to affect gambling in any way ? on: March 06, 2024, 09:13:13 AM
AI has impacted almost all online businesses to major extent. Do you feel that there will be major impact of AI technology on online gambling industry as well ?
AI are already in the gambling industry and many casinos are already using this for their own benefits especially in detecting any cheat or suspicious transactions. Well, if you think you can win against the casinos, I think you're thinking wrong because every casinos will have their own security measure and they will not allow any gamblers to take advantage of it. AI will surely benefit the c
asino owner here, they will be more strict for sure.
that's right, Actually, AI has been implemented for a long time in online gambling sites, especially in casinos, Others say, gambling sites are prone to hacks if ever, but I think they are well secured and always ready the security system of each sites. Only one of the negative effects of AI when it comes to gambling is that it is possible that the online casinos/gambling dealers will lose their jobs because they can be replaced by AI, just like what was reported recently that it is possible to replace  The newscasters with AI but when they did a dry run for that project, the majority did not agree because the news was not presented well and the speakers had no life, they seemed like robots with no emotions.


453  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: stop the unnecessary blame on gambling whenever you get unlucky on: March 06, 2024, 08:17:11 AM
Right, you can win and you can lose, and that depends on luck entirely. So, if you lose blame your fates, but not some other people. I mean, gambling industry consist of real people like you and me, and if you are blaming gambling, you are basically blaming real people too.

Its humans nature never accept loss and always find reasons in someone in somewhere, when they itself are the reason for that loss. Few people can accept that they were wrong and admit it. Many will always search who to blame and find 100 excuses why they have lost. They do it for two reason, they are always right/they cant be wrong. This applies to all areas. In gambling they lose because of someone. On the forum they dont get merit because people are greedy. At work they earn low, because the boss has favorite colleagues, at school/university they fail because teachers on purpose put them low grades, food that they prepared taste bad because ingredients were spoiled and etc.

basically yes, I have noticed that it is our nature to do this kind of work, we are the type who is really at fault. but we try to find someone else or a way to blame someone, maybe because of our pride, we cannot accept that we are really wrong  but deep inside we know in ourselves that we are the ones who have failed and don't know how to understand.
454  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The Monte Carlo fallacy on: March 06, 2024, 04:48:56 AM
Hi community,

The gambler's fallacy, also known as the Monte Carlo fallacy, is the mistaken belief that if a certain thing has happened more frequently than usual during the past, it is less likely to happen in the future (or vice versa), when it is otherwise proven that the probability of such events occurring is not It depends on what happened in the past. Such events, which are historically independent, are referred to as statistically independent. For example, the next dice roll is likely to be a six because the number of dice has recently been lower than the usual number of six.

Perhaps the majority of gamblers know this , especially the professionals and old-timers. Personally, I always fall into this trap.

-What is your analysis about this trick?


I was also fall into this trap before but not now, It's like some normal instincts from other perspective,so I decided to follow my own insticts too. and if you always rely on that strategy, there is a big possibility that you will be exhausted, as if you are just following the flow of the game and you are no longer the one who decides on your own bet because it is already imprinted in your mind that you need to use a different strategy you to win but in the end, your guess is not correct.
455  Economy / Economics / Re: Insurance is important on: March 05, 2024, 10:04:45 PM
We must have insurance. Danger can come anytime, this insurance can help us when we fall into a big problem. I think what we need the most is health insurance. We should definitely take this insurance. If your income is high then you must have insurance. This will save you from major problems.
Insurance is protection.

Protection to our assets, to the things and possessions that we've worked hard. And that's why if you love your family, you're going to get insurance and no matter how wealthy you are, if you think that it's worth it to have it, definitely you'll get one, two or more insurance policies.

Whilst for the poor and don't have that much wealth, this is the best protection that they can have. Many treats it as an investment and some people still get the wrong idea about insurances. We all will die someday and it's up to you on what legacy you'll leave your family.

For most people, they can't afford to buy any type of insurance, reason being, they can't even put food on their table. This is why it is understandable that some people are hesitant to get one because of financial constraints. Whereas, those few who can really afford just like the OP's story have their qualms to get insurance because they are too confident, they don't need one. Well, some people don't want to foresee worst possible scenarios that may come because they feel it won't happen to them.
This is the sad reality on which due to that lack of financial capacity then we are really that having a hard time even with our daily needs or that good that we do need on everyday living
on which having these insurances wont really be put up in prioritization on which it would really be that understandable. We shouldnt really be judging them that they are irresponsible just because
they dont have that insurances on which we know that not all would really be that living in a life on which having that money to spare or budget on having insurances.
Lets just be grateful that we are living in a life that have that financial capacity at least and able to get those insurances but if you dont have then you would really be just
needing to deal up with it.

Having an insurance should be a top priority but it's common to have none in those people who lives in 3rd country due to poverty and lack of financial stability. I think that people don't like that they don't have the common needs in life, It's just that, they will focus more on the budget for food and important bills even if they no longer have insurance, but who doesn't want to have insurances right? It's just sad because there are countries that don't have a system like the one in Canada and the US where all the taxes paid by the citizens are used and they feel
456  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is that one reason that motivates you to invest in bitcoin even at ATH ? on: March 05, 2024, 09:36:28 PM
I think the reason why people investing in Bitcoin is to earn profit where some are afraid that they will miss the chance to earn profit. You can say that it is very much like FUD or FOMO that they also want to invest. If they really want to invest then they should have bought Bitcoin when it didn't reach the price of bitcoin today.
Yes, the main reason why people continue to invest even in ATH is due to FOMO, and they also believe that the price would continue to increase.
But nobody knows how high it could reach and how the price would move, it could continue to go up or it could go down and have a price correction.

That's what I'm thinking also! based on the statement from other people who wants to invest their money in bitcoin, tho they know nothing but the spiking up price only. They are convinced by other people's stories that once you put money into it, your money will double or triplentl... that is true, but there is no certainty as to when the price of bitcoin will rise and fall, so it is better to do is you guys should invest at your own risk.
457  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: gambling for fun vs gambling for the financial benefit. on: March 05, 2024, 12:57:22 PM
Of course you are right, only those who have no shortage of money play gambling for fun. There are many families who have to struggle to earn a handful of rice and many people are wasting crores of rupees by gambling for fun. Those who gamble for fun will one day become so strong in gambling that there will be nothing left to do.  Addictive gambling is very harmful to people. Gambling can never bring peace in one's life. Gambling is fun to play and sometimes people become so addicted to the touch that losing cash sometimes makes them almost destitute. So everyone should be careful from gambling because I have seen the reality that many people have become destitute by gambling so no one's life can turn around beautifully by gambling.
Well, It becomes harmful to a person if they insist on gambling even if they don't have money to use for their necessities, so many people make gambling a source of income because some of them don't have a good job, haven't been educated so they can't find a good job to work. Gambling is the only way they see to earn money but they only get into more trouble every time they lose in the game. They just make it the reason that they can enjoy themselves while gambling but the truth is, they are afraid every time they place a bet.


458  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If a addict lives within, which method would you choose to help them on: March 05, 2024, 12:31:11 PM
If an addict lives with me, I would make him a bet he cant fulfil or win Cheesy I will try to trick him with "I bet you will able not to gamble for half a year" (actually any long period would do, but the longer the better). Will announce a solid price and wait to see how he will try to self cure. This might sound silly, but I think this might be helpful and do the trick. And I will repeat that few times. The effect will be unnoticeable from first glance, but it will at least train that person for self control.

To me this is not silly at all although an addicted person will never agree to 6 months without gambling even if the price is huge if he can fulfill this promise.I think a more realistic approach would be starting with 2 weeks or something along these lines which is more doable even for an avid gambler.Even this short amount of time can help achieve some sort of self control to the addicted person,of course is not going to help since the first try but the more tries the more patience gained.
This seems like a good idea to try and implement if you live with a gambling addict. But I also agree that it's too long and I don't think they would be able to agree to do it, because their urge to gamble every day would be stronger. I would probably start with a month first, I don't think that's a long time, nor is it a short time, although it might be a very long time in their mind. But I'm also sure they'll steal the time when they're not with us, because we can't be with them 24/7, right?
Apart from this, I also have other approaches such as showing them someone who was ruined by gambling. I'm sure they will also be evasive with this approach, including denying that they are an addict. But on the other hand I'm sure it will slowly enter into their thinking, yes they might be a little disturbed by the image of a person ruined by gambling. I try to play with their psychology, although the risk at the beginning is that they might think we are judging them about their gambling activities.

Nice idea! Showing them a someone who ruined by gambling might give them an intrusive thoughts once they are alone, or maybe it will help them to think and to admit that they are a gambling addict. Usually, An addict person always deny to theirselves that they are having an addiction because they knew in themselves that before they started gambling, they told themselves that they would not be like other people whose lives were ruined by gambling. They are usually indenial but if you ever show them or give them an example, that will really make them think.
459  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: your perception about gambling on: March 05, 2024, 12:14:43 PM
Gambling is for everybody and not for some set of people. Though there are age range in gambling but doesn't mean there are set of people who are permited to gamble. It depends on Individual and how they make their choices. Sometimes underaged people gamble and nothing happens because they do it for fun and it's not against government policy. It only becomes a problem when the money used for gambling is a stolen money or when they play gamble without payment.

Yup, It really depends on you. sometimes, the other people who are underage, even if they learn to gamble at their young age, not all of them end up being addicted, maybe because they know how to control themselves and they have set rules for themselves when it comes to gambling. They become wiser in their actions and decisions as time goes on because they have memorized the movements in playing there. Everyone can gamble as long as they follow the rules and regulations of the area and of course we can only gamble in legal gambling houses and sites, and the most important thing of all, you must have money because that is the main objective in gambling, to lose and earn money while having fun.
460  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it good or bad idea saving every penny on crypto stable coins on: March 05, 2024, 11:58:06 AM
Saving is definitely a good thing to do. Because from here on can be used as a shield against the coming bad times at any time. Although it is not possible to acquire great wealth through savings. But because of that, I can't advise you to hoard all your achievements. Because if you can invest some part of your savings in crypto currency then there is a strong possibility of getting high returns from here. So I don't think any part of the opportunity should be kept unused where there is an opportunity. But in this case, investment should be done in profitable areas by observing the past investment picture, otherwise one has to face serious risk.

You mean something like emergency fund, right? You have a point, That's the purpose of savings in our life but I suggest, if you have spare money and you want to put it in something worth it, you should invest it in crypto, but make sure that you are fully aware how does it works and do some research first, do not believe what you heared to others, it's better to have your own research and do it on your own.
