801  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's The Weirdest Alibi Of Gamblers So They Can Continue Gambling? on: January 14, 2024, 03:29:04 AM
That's indeed a weird alibi from your friend. But that's not the weirdest probably. Gambling could indeed be therapeutic as other forms of entertainment are. But that's not a wise idea to gamble if you're going through something.

I think the weirdest alibi for me is when a gambler asks or even borrows money because he needs to buy food or milk for his baby or medicine for his old mother even if the reality is that he only uses the money for gambling.

The last part will be the top tier weirdest alibi that I've ever heard, And we knew that many gamblers has been using that line in order for them to borrow money, they also sometimes use the illness of one of the family members as a reason and the worst is about death. Imagine? That's how a person can turn beyond theirself because of addiction.
802  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tips to avoid compulsive thoughts related to anxiety on: January 13, 2024, 11:18:22 PM
Managing compulsive thoughts linked to anxiety can be challenging, but some techniques can help. Practicing mindfulness, deep breathing, or even distracting yourself with hobbies can offer relief. Remember, a balanced lifestyle, including a healthy diet, plays a role.

That's what I'm going to say too, since lately I've been experiencing panic attack everyday, which really affects my daily routine and decisions, One thing that helps me to calm is the deep breathing, Ice theraphy and meditation, I've been doing this for a couple of months and it really helps. It seems difficult if you come to a situation where you suddenly panic while gambling because it is possible that your strategy and decision making while playing may be messed up. Maybe the only thing I can advise to others is, if you have anxiety, it would be better to do the self practices first and make sure you are mentally well before playing.
803  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does it looks responsible as woman telling husband you gamble? on: January 13, 2024, 09:26:52 PM
Absolutely! Just let your husband know about your interest in gambling and assure him that you're being responsible about it, doing it for fun and not risking too much. Keeping open communication helps in any relationship!

it's easy to tell the truth particularly to our spouses, especially if you know there is nothing wrong with your actions and as you've said, you are a responsible in your actions and decisions, you can explain it to him properly so that you will understand each other. always remember that having a good communication and comprehension is the key for a healthy relationship.

Alam nating lahat na tuwing tumataas ang presyo ng bitcoin nagiging talamak ang scam, marahil sa sinasamantala nila ang pagkakataon kung saan nagpapanic ang mga dating nsa crypto na makapasok ulit, dahil dito ay nagiging hindi maingat ang iba nating mga kacrypto kaya sila ay nabibiktima
ang mga sumusunod ay ang maari nilang paraan para tayo ay mascam:
  • Email kung saan nanalo ka ng bitcoin, ang iyong account ay may nkastore na bitcoin subalit wala ka namang ganung account
  • Passive income gamit ang btc, usdt or any crypto coin as a reward need mo din magpasok ng pondo
  • Mga campaign or mining online at humihingi ng deposit para mawithdraw
  • Ransomware kung saan naencrypt ang iyong account at need mo magbyad huwag mkipagtransact, at email na sinasabi na compromise ang iyong account, huwag makipagdeal dito dahil hindi ka naman sure

Magingat dahil tuwing ganetong panahon sila nanamantala, sana ay maging masaya ang ating 2024 more to learn and earn good luck.

Salamat sa ibinahagi mong impormasyon dito sa local forum natin kabayan, alam naman natin na karamihan satin ay aware na sa mga scam sa crypto lalo na nga't nabanggit mo na mas laganap sila kapag ganitong season ng pagtaas ng value pero okay nadin na naishare mo ito sa atin dahil kahit papaano ay may mga baguhan tayong members dito sa local section.
805  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do not gamble with Loan Money~otherwise you will be in danger like me on: January 13, 2024, 01:29:13 PM
I value you sharing your own story of becoming addicted to gambling. Extreme gambling can lead to a lot of problems, and this is a stark warning of both. I agree with your advice that people shouldn't take gambling too seriously and should never use a loan to bet. Be careful when you gamble, and know your limits to avoid losing money or your relationship. By being honest, you've given others an important lesson in how to gamble responsibly. It's great that you want to raise knowledge about the risks, and I hope your situation gets better over time.

Even if we advice them to don't take gambling seriously, there's an instances that they will not follow this advices of us because they are busy doing gambling and they have experienced winning so one of the things they expect in gambling is winning and gaining profit. we really don't know what will gambling affect people's mindset because sometimes even the most serious and responsible person became addicted in gambling.



806  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Land-based Casino Enjoyers are something else. on: January 13, 2024, 12:33:28 PM
I was scrolling on my social media feeds one day until a very close friend of mine showed me a meme vid. We usually send memes to each other as our little way of communicating which I think some of you guys will get, but this one not only cracked me up, it also kind of opened my eyes at how fucked up Brick-and-Mortar Casino Enjoyers could be if they tried.

GIRL SITS AT CASINO SLOT MACHINE CHAIR TO PEE

Watching this "meme vid" or whatever made me curious enough to dig into this little rabbit hole where I see casino gamblers, particularly those who play slot, go bonkers and I mean like literal mental while playing slots. I mean most of them are depicted to even claw at the screen as if it's going to do anything.

I gotta say man, I know gambling for some people is bad but when they say it's bad I didn't think it'd be this worse lol. Oh well, all the more reasons to avoid the land-casinos I guess.

Seems like they created it for the content only? But I guess there's still some gamblers who acted that way inside the casino house but that doesn't mean that all gamblers are just like them, There are still gamblers who is responsible and behave while gambling inside the casino. Some people says, it's more fun if you experience entering a casino house than online gambling sites, because in a casino house, you can see the different behavior and actions of each gambler. You will see how they manage themselves and how they interact with their fellow gamblers.
807  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's your thoughts on VIP Programs in casinos? on: January 13, 2024, 12:02:40 PM
With VIP programs, the bonuses and eligibility for such programs are just a bonus. What matters to me in being like that is about the treatment of the casino.

You won't be called VIP for no reason, do you?

They have a different treatment from the regular customers to the VIP customers and that's the essence for me for being part of the VIP program. When I have concerns, they'll address and solve the issue quickly.

One thing about being a VIP is that, the casino dealer that will handle you is one of the best employee of the casino company and most of them are the company's best pick. That's why they will be having an additional pay if they handled VIP's and it's a priviledge for them to have those VIP because they will get another bonus or tip from them.
It's having the best customers and handling them with the best customer experience that they can also give to the VIPs. As they are bringing in a lot of money, they deserve the treatment that they need to be given as special customers.

That's it on my part.

If I'll be a VIP of a casino, that's what I am expecting from them and with every concern, I expect expedite response from them.

Well, that's what I am expected too If i were a VIP so that I can somehow get the most out of the membership I paid for being a VIP. I also want that kind of expedite and special assistance if I'm the one who gambles, Plus the benefits and priviledge that I can get. if I'm rich and can afford to pay the membership fee, I'll definitely be a VIP too, who wouldn't want that, right?

808  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Know when to stop on: January 13, 2024, 11:44:28 AM
One of the most important factor of a successful gambler is to know when to stop, most gamblers expecially the addictive type don't even know what is stop when it comes to gambling. So it's very important to;
* Stop when your losing is now getting to you.

* Stop when you are now feeling as is you can't do without gambling.

* Stop when you have a big winning, by channeling the money somewhere else so you won't lose it back to gambling.

* Stop when you are not even winning at all, it's not your thing.

* When your losing is weighing you down, stop and restrategize .

Thanks for this reminder, this is very helpful especially to our newbies here in forum. Since we want to avoid any kind of worst behavior like addiction, you'll should read and analyze this thread. We need to become aware when to stop gambling and OP shared the tips when to stop. Gambling should play with fair and balance because if we can't balance and limit ourself, in the end we will become addicted to it. I don't want to discourage other people to gamble but we need to know and assess ourself first prior entering gambling world.
809  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Alter Ego In Gambling on: January 13, 2024, 11:23:25 AM
It's interesting to see how people can show a different side of themselves when they're doing things like gaming. The thrill of taking chances and going after big wins can give some people a different personality than the one they usually have. It is important to be aware of these differences and make sure that the change in behavior is in line with safe gaming. Knowing your real self and finding a balance between excitement and restraint can help you have a better and longer-lasting time gambling. Being honest with yourself is very important, and you should avoid doing things that could have bad results.


It's pretty normal to know that there's a lot of people who has their other personality when it comes to gambling or other activities. Especially if a person builds a strong connection to that activity, their attitude will change and become different than their normal self without realizing it. That's how gambling affects a person to the point that they didn't aware even in the smallest changes. People should know it as early as they can, so they can balance their self behavior depends to the things that they do.
810  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is not a means to an end, Do it for fun and don't take it as a job on: January 13, 2024, 12:27:11 AM
Sad reality, but no matter how many topics like this there are in this forum, if this can't reach those people or gamblers that are addicted to gambling, then they will not be enlightened and wake up from their wrongdoings. Gambling is really built for fun and entertainment only until it involves money. From there, even a gambler who initially aims to have fun in gambling will end up losing more money because they cannot take the feeling of losing money, and that's when they start to play more in order to increase their money or to recover the lost. Little do they know they are being brought to their addiction.

Gambling will never and ever be a source of income or a way of living, as you could lose money anytime, and the losing of money in this thing is fast, so you will only notice that you've lost anything when you don't have anything.

Yup, but at least those beginners in gambling will understand the right concept about it so that they will not going to be like those other gambling addict who chose to do gambling as their main job. I knew someone who had a previous high paying job in a corporate company, but after participating in different casino sites, He didn't work well and he was fired because of his changes of behavior and actions inside the company. He was addicted to gambling and we didn't see him regretting, but continued gambling and he even made it his main career, which is not okay. He wasted a good job and a high salary just for his gambling. Many people were disappointed with what he did, especially his family, but he didn't think about it anymore because his mind was poisoned about gambling.
811  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Drug (cocaine) addicts compromises gambling potentials on: January 12, 2024, 09:37:03 PM
Gambling must be done with full control, remembering that because gambling is a type of game that is full of challenges and risks, it really must be played calmly. And if someone is under the influence of drugs, it is certain that he has lost consciousness and someone who is under the influence of drugs tends to be emotional and temperamental. So it will be difficult for him to gamble calmly, which ultimately encourages him to behave recklessly.

And in this case, it's not gambling that's wrong. but it is this person who has misunderstood and interpreted gambling itself. It is wrong to think that gambling can provide profits, it is wrong to think that gambling doubles your money. And we also have to remember, that the casino never forces someone to visit and play at the casino, they only make an offer and the rest is up to you personally, whether to gamble or not.

We can't blame a person for what happens to a person today, because whatever he ends up doing, he should be aware of what he is doing. When a person becomes addicted to drugs and is even more involved in gambling, he will become more confused, he will no longer be able to control the things he does that can even lead to bad things like crime. There is nothing wrong with gambling as long as we know our limitations. It's not easy as what we think, but if you think about it and you already know the consequences, you'll be scared. right? you'll be more careful because you don't want to be like other people who have ruined their lives because of their habits.
812  Other / Off-topic / Re: Who does gambling addiction affect the most? on: January 12, 2024, 09:00:32 PM
No, i don't thing the gambler suffer the most.  They bring it on themselves.  But the family - theyre the real victims.  Financial hardship, emotional distressm, families torn apart - that's what the loved ones endure.  And sometimes, like in my cousins' case, the kids pick up those harmful gambling habits too.  

There's no doubt about it - gambling addiction ruins way more lives than just the gamblers.  I saw it firsthand.

that's right, usually the most affected is our family because they bear the brunt of the problem that they didn't make.
they do things to fix their lives and to become succesful but because of your vices and problems that you've created, they are also involved. This is one of the reasons why some families are broken, because they prefer to live without the person who brings them problems. It's hard to accept but many cases like this happen in real life.

813  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does signing up with affiliate links gives these benefits? on: January 12, 2024, 12:05:39 PM
Many youtubers and friends share their referral codes/affiliate links, saying you will get bonuses, real money, or free spins. but I wonder if casinos give extra help or benefits in some different situations.

For example, when someone wins a big multiplier and multiplies their account by 100x, then some casinos take a long time to process the withdrawal, or they may not even give the money. however, some say that if you sign up using a good affiliate or influencer affiliate code which have huge audience, then you won't face these type issues. also, if you promote the casino using your referral link, they might not hold back your withdrawal because you helped them get new customers.

is this kind of things is considered shady practice, or is it considered fair in the online gambling world?

This is very interesting topic, when it comes to referrals and affiliates, both of you will be having a benefits from casino, not only those streamers but also you. Now, as per your example, It seems that the delayed withdrawals are not connected to the issue of you not being able to register under streamers link,
because they won't be able to determine if you registered using their links or not, and you will benefit equally but it is better to be aware of this happening inside affiliated jobs. maybe it's just a coincidence that there are a lot of transactions so there are delayed payments.

Hey Crypto Crew,

So, I've been pondering the whole "Should Your Business Accept Bitcoin?" conundrum. 🤔 Some say it's the future, while others think it's just a fad. What's your take on this crypto rollercoaster? Share your thoughts on whether diving into the Bitcoin sea is a savvy move or a shipwreck waiting to happen. Personally, I'm torn between embracing the digital gold rush and sticking to the good ol' cash. Let's chat about the pros, cons, and the downright unpredictable nature of this crypto beast. Are you ready to sail the Bitcoin waves or prefer to anchor in traditional waters? Drop your two satoshis below and let's hash it out! ⚓🚀

I will consider bitcoin payment in the future, wherein I think Most people are engaging in this digital money but for now? I will stick to the traditional way of payment. I know that it depends to a nature of the business but come to think if it, Not all person has a bitcoin or aware about it especiamly those elders so We should consider them especially that they are your costumers.
815  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: We dont own enough bitcoin on: January 12, 2024, 11:05:40 AM
First of all no one owns bitcoins everyone holds bitcoins by investing their own money. Bitcoin is decentralized and its value will increase as small amounts are used. You have to fix your mind for investment. Everyone knows that the crypto market is unstable and there are risks. Understand the dynamics of the market and proceed with research. If you want to enjoy financial freedom you need to know the right time to buy Bitcoin.

Seems like OP is experiencing FOMO because of the current bitcoin situation and value. You're right, He needs to fix his mindset when it comes to investment because maybe he doesn't know that all bitcoin holders have spent a lot of time and years in investing, There's no easy money not as much as you think
so it's better for you to study thoroughly about bitcoin or any crypto related topic before you believe whatever news is spreading on social media.

816  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do not gamble with Loan Money~otherwise you will be in danger like me on: January 12, 2024, 10:41:53 AM
These days, learning from peoples experience saves stress and makes one keeps abreast of happenings as it bothers around such activities. In scenarios as this, it is unwise to just take it upon oneself to do such. Borrowing to gamble does not sounds normal. It is just like one rubbing their hands in excretes when you are given water to wash your hands. Gambling is not a bad idea but that should not warrant you to get addicted to the point of going after a loan to gamble. If it is okay for one to look into gamblers histories, one would be able to learn from it and use it as a guide if they still deem it fit to gamble. But however like they say experience is a teacher only a reasonable person would learn from that experience and not act otherwise. OPs case should be a lesson as well.
You are right because by learning from other people's experiences, a person can gain more knowledge, which will be useful for him if he faces problems that are similar to those experienced by other people. He can look for solutions to solve his problems without confusion and will only take a short time to get the solution. He could also avoid anything similar to the knowledge he had gained so that nothing bad would happen to him. He can also be wise when facing something different so that his decisions will also be adjusted to these conditions. When he doesn't have money to gamble, he also won't borrow money from other people because he already knows from other people's experience that borrowing money to gamble is not recommended. After all, it will pose a greater risk for him. He would always avoid it because he didn't want to get into trouble that he couldn't face.

Exactly! I can say that we don't have to experience any kind of problem in order for us to learn because we can still learn from other people's mistakes and we can get an Idea from them how to prevent things to happen to us just in case we find ourself in that situation. this kind of incident is very typical irresponsible gambler problem, so I think many gamblers out there see this as an eye opener for them to not do it but it really depends because sometimes, even they knew what will be the consequences of doing it, they still do it for the sake of their satisfactions.

We countlessly experiences new gamblers on daily basis in the gambling boards. Not just in this platform of
a mere gambling discussion but in a reality of gambling. So briefly, I call to your attentions the newbie gamblers to be aware that>>>
"Responsible gambling is cordially adhered by your audible alertness to realize that temptations as irresponsible gambling is inspired by your desperacies of making profits or recovering your losts".

Fellow experienced gamblers, your brief contributions would also be valuable.


There's a lot of topics related to this one, and many seniors and gamblers answered and shared their experiences about gambling. I think, we don't need to create another topic regarding giving an advices and techniques to newbies because if you just scroll here, you will read a lot of threads related to what you posted. Let's avoid repeated topics because the forum is becoming too redundant.
819  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think gambling every day is better? on: January 11, 2024, 07:53:37 PM
I see your friend point though but still ain't safe to gamble regularly or daily. at first that may lead to gambling addiction because all galblesrs are not the same, same goes for their luck's most people may gamble daily but still won't hit the jackpot they will just keep losing daily which may trigger the drive if getting their losses back and end up magneting more losses, also they are people at there that gambling daily may change their life for the better so all that matters is the number of opportunities you grab and your luck in hitting the jackpot

It really depends to a person's luck and we all know that winning in gambling is not a usual thing, we tend to lose most of the time that's why It really triggers a person to chase their loses which is not a healthy and irresponsible way. that's true, other people have had experienced life changes like for a better because of gambling and some are not, because luck and right time holds a big part of gambling.

Meron akong napanuod kanina sa youtube hindi ko lang matandaan kung anung name ng channel, na kung saan isang lawyer nagsasalita sa video na sinasabi nya na hindi kayang magawa ng Sec na maipablock ang website ng Binance dito sa ating bansa unless meron ourt order na nagsasabi na iblock na ang binance website nila dito sa ating bansa.

So nung napanuod ko yun, ibig sabihin posible na maextend pa nga yang 90 days na sinasabi sa mga news kamakailan lang tungkol dito sa Binance na ating pinag-uusapan dito.
Mas maganda parin mag playsafe at tsaka mag bebenefit ang Globe dito kung mag comply sila dahil baka dadami ang users na gagamit sa Gcrypto.
Now nag check na din ako sa Maya mukhang maganda din pala eh , and mukhang mas less hassle comparing sa Coins.ph and about sa pagcomply ng Binance sa gobyerno natin eh malamang hindi lang Gcrypto ang papatok kundi lahat ng mga exchange and wallets na nag ooperate sa pinas dahil pag naging legit na ang binance eh mas magiging legit na din ang pagpasok ng mga users na dating non crypto and also now na ang ETF ay na approve na sure na magiging popular na talaga ang crypto using sa bansa natin.

For sure naman yan, na lahat ng crypto related exchanges ay makikilala at posibleng lumaki ang bilang ng mga crypto users, basta ingat lang din at suriin mabuti yung mga wallets na susubukan ninyong gamitin.Hindi ko pa nasubukan icheck yung sa maya, medyo nawalan kasi ako ng tiwala sa maya account dahil dumami ang napabalitang nawawala daw sa account ang mga perang nakasave dito, pero try ko padin icheck at baka talagang less hassle sya compare sa coins. ph.
