A normal day with addiction. Problem is that in such state of mind, an individual is not being rational and reasonable with decision making. People who are diagnosed with addiction prioritizes the pleasure they are getting from the things they are hooked up with. Obsession and compulsion at the same time which gives pleasure on themselves. They will have tendencies of fooling other people just to get what they want, which is indeed sad of them. Some are indeed willing to make up stories involving people around them regardless if they are important or not, just to fulfill their intentions. But this is not to make judgements instantly, unless proven. If it is the benefit of the doubt for that individual, what if he's not in good state of mind because he is so problematic of what happened to his wife? Possible right? In the given situation, he indeed lacked explanation of his action of just walking away. But let us always not be one sided in every story unless we knew both sides of it.

Then this is not the industry for you to talk to.
Of course there will always be a choice to engage with registered gambling sites and/or those which are fiat based but why are we here? We have our own reasons but most of the time it is avoiding taxes and to be able to still gamble despite of activity restrictions in some countries.

Are there any industry wherein scam is not present? There will always be as long as there are people who falls on it. There are crypto based but reputable platforms we can bet with if it is just securing the platform we will deposit our money with. No one wants to be scammed right? It is just our playful minds which pushes us to add risk, on existing risk. Scam platforms will be always interesting  and that is to of course, get their victims. But even if there are many cases, this is not to be certain for us to move out from this industry because we always have options to choose from if we really want to gamble.

Has a point however I think it is because of categorization. Gambling is gambling in any form possible. Discriminative point of view between games doesn't really making any relevance in a broad perspective but obviously this will be more concerned with registration and the manner where operators are being legal or illegal to a country where it is being operated or being done or offered. I don't agree with the idea that you would lose more, depending on the game. You would only lose huge amount depending on your discipline and not with the gambling game you are into. If you are playing big amount with gambling game number 1, but daily with number 2, then that's just the same thing in the long run. Higher frequency would more likely result to higher tendencies of loss.
But that's just the platform. Well, online gambling indeed is more convenient but that doesn't create a bad impression especially when it comes on which one is either good or bad. Both could be convenient depending on gambler's preference of betting. No one prefers to lose; of course we all desire to win.

I don't personally participate with gambling activities during a wake. The practice in my family is to use the moment to have talks with the relatives who are most of the time away. But there are indeed different practices. I even witnessed some families who are having kareoke or singing activities during a wake and for them it is just to make things lively, as their way of reminiscing the one who passed away. But I agree, gambling activities could be a part of a family practice or culture, it just depends on how it will be done or the purpose behind it. Gambling in the first place is an activity for entertainment and the involvement of money just adds intensity and thrill with the outcomes. And with negative impressions, it depends with gambler's intention.  As long as it is legal to what country it is being performed then things would be fine. If gamblers who will practice such activities in any ocassions would be doing it with sense of responsibility, it will be acceptable morally and socially.

Why is it alarming then? If ever more women are engaging to gambling what does it implies? Gambling has no boundaries in the first place except for people under 18 due to legal concerns. However gender and age won't really make anything relevant to it. Also, gambling is restricted with many countries and that should be more of a concern. There are more male gamblers globally compared to women. There's nothing to give you guarantee as well in gambling which is why I quite don't the point of what's the deal with this.More people are jist now getting their eyes open of this industry; it could be good or bad depending on the majority and individuals who are actually gambling.Indeed a factor but still not directly related with gender, but more in general. Social media platforms are now becoming a tool to promote gambling activities. Given that online gambling provides convenience with gamblers, then it simply makes it accessible and more open to  more people. What's just sad is to attract people under 18 which is something we won't want to support given how well we are aware of the risks and young ones might be gambling without responsibility of consequences.

Seems like we have different preferences about things including gambling games. Some are thrilled with sportsbetting, some are with slots, some are with card games, and that's just the reality. Excitement is subjective by the way. But in my perspective, I would also choose sportsbetting as my 'game' in this industry. It is more complicated than slots and the likes because you have to have a basis on which one is to bet. There are records of previous fights (into boxing by the way) where I can draw conclusions from. The idea of anything can happen inside the ring is what makes it exciting. Underdogs winning the match, undefeated meets defeat, seeing how training and hardwork improves a fighter and more, not to mention profit from guessing the winner correctly.

The more effort will be required, the higher the excitement will be. If the game you play does not require that much of your time aside from your bet, then wouldn't it be a bit boring? It will only look like that you are just trying to check if you can win but won't be having expectancies of actually winning the game.

Something you wouldn't consider if you are not after high risk. Ever heard stories wherein people are in debt despite of having properties? And that person chooses to sell that property not to immediately pay the debt but to try making it double by engaging it to gambling? If you are in debt, in what way would you be able to pay it? One is to have a secured and consistent source of income. In such way you'd be able to still make a living and eventually pay the debt even little by little. Those people who seeks gambling to pursue such purpose are having desires to do things in a rush or fast manner. However if it's reality check, there's no such thing. You won't be in debt in the first place if there is.Not only debt free but also, the idea of every gambler would be rich. But gambling does not work that way; losing will be more often to happen. Luck is the main determinant and no gambler will have full control of gambling outcome. As you embrace higher level of risk you cannot expect yourself to get out of it as a cycle. It will just continue.

I also observed this. I would more acknowledge his drive in boxing if he would challenge big names that are also in their prime. A retired boxer with a good record will be difficult for him and that is because athletes even after retirement are still in their routines. Might a bit out of shape but given he was a pro boxer, he won't be an easy opponent to someone who is just after fame. As we saw on Jake's previous matches, he has the power but lacks the experience and speed. Ryan has it in his prime and I hope he still does with this. His team won't be accepting this for no reason and I hope no "politics" will be involved in this fight.Jake still don't get the respect he wanted from boxing industry and that is for a reason. Boxing is indeed for everyone but things won't be easy not only because you wanted it. He won fights indeed but when faced with a real boxer, as we all saw, he's becoming an underdog with the match.

Well, it will never be advised to anyone in this industry. In some instances, borrowing in form of loan for an investment is a good idea as long as that investment could pay the interest of what you borrowed. Unfortunately, I never viewed gambling as an investment. I get the idea in particular with profit expectancy but things are just not the same. With gambling, it is either you win big or lose big. Much better to just bed with higher odds in order to have bigger rewards but the point here is whether gambling could be a good source of income. Any amount could be turned into an investment however, once things are done then it's done.Gambling could be a good source of income nut that is only if you are lucky with the career itself.

A hundred bucks if I remembered it correctly. Well, I don't bet that much since my bankroll is not as large as with the other gamblers. Even if I am being confident with the game or match, I think I wouldn't be increasing my bet that much because I experienced betting more than I can afford to lose because of gambling tips with matches and happened to lose all of it. It took me almost a year to recover from that experience and that gave me a hard lesson to not be too confident with bets. In gambling, nothing's assured especially with winning tendencies. There are other gamblers who are betting more than what I have lost but the point is there already.
We are just tempted sometimes. It won't happen on a daily basis that you'd be confident of your bet which makes sense if some gamblers would go all out in such instance. This is why I preferred betting with high odds and small amounts, and high rewards. Regrets are a normal thing to feel when things are out of our expectations.

A matter of preference right? Many people are aware of different investment ideas but why are not all people into it? One reason is risk then there comes gambling wherein risk is more present. These two are different with concept but are similar with some properties and one is risk involvement. Now, as we all know, gambling is a more risky engagement to deal with in comparison to investments. Why are people still choosing gambling over investment? Aside from preference, I think another factor is the thrilling experience wherein it is more active with gambling. Both are profitable but gambling is only dependent with one's luck unlike with investments wherein data are helpful to create or draw a conclusion. Not because you saved the amount which is expected to be lost in gambling, it would automatically be considered that investment is a better option. You can also manage the amount you are dealing with gambling if it is just the experience you are seeking of.

They will believe for sure however, their actions would matter more . Same thing with other inspirational materials and contents; at that moment when it was watched, they'd be inspired but eventually, they still won't make a change. Lessons will just pass by and if it is change being desired, the gambler itself should have initiative to create those changes. As we all know, there are many ways to lessen your exposure in this activity; other things that could occupy time. The idea of going back to this industry in general, would mean that you are not that devoted of what you want to achieve. It is not easy in the first place which is why it is and should be understandable. Many addicted gamblers are hoping to make themselves better however, not all people are willing to make it happen.
Borrowing money could not be an option and it would be more valid to put an end with what you are losing and where you are in debt with. Acceptance will always set you free and that is also applicable with gambling. The only thing which pushes a gambler to bet more is personal assumption that gambling could give you the wealth you are dreaming of.

For sure there were instances that it turned out with a good outcome. Being under influence of alcohol perhaps won't determine your luck. No one has control of luck anyway. However, the advantage of being aware is to be in control of your bets in particular with numbers or amount of what you will wager. Even with times (if you had any experience) of overlooking the amount you are suppose to wager, there are regrets for sure so what more with whole betting session. Influence of such, could also push you or give you bigger confidence to continue betting even if you are already in loss. And if you happened to be in profit, you could be wanting for more due to that influence, and end up without anything but loss.
Inconsistency as well with your decisions if you are not in yourself. Being aware means being preventive of what's worse to come in your gambling session or even career. It is not only substance which contributes on such act but also emotions. The idea as well of not enjoying your full gambling experience is what many gamblers are avoiding.

Of course it is casinos. The idea of house always win simply proves that most of the gamblers are losing often than with winning. Gamblers are just up with quantity but if it is profit then a casino will be more advantageous; transaction fees, losses, and the likes. However, if you're  gambler you won't percieved it as gamblers vs other gamblers but rather, gamblers vs the casino itself. Casinos are most of the time winning over those who are losing and that's just how a business work; citing the demand and targetting it for gains. As long as there are gamblers who are winning, then others despite of loss, will continue playing for the sake of getting the same fortune. As we all know, no matter how hard you desire to win, if you are unlucky then things would either be the same or worse. Minding the gambling site of earning more will just stress you out. You cannot force gambling to be in your side but you may force oneself to be preventive of the outcomes.

Gambling for fun is like paying a premium service, such as 5 star hotels perhaps, other than booking a cheaper one if it is just for the sake of having a roof to stay. Idea is with the experience; you could be losing in gambling but if you enjoyed the thrill, the game, nd the chance of earning profit then for sure you are entertained. Although it is not exactly the same feeling or experience but I do associate it with such instance; paying for more. If it is just for pure entertainment and putting bets aside, then you could just watch a game on television. However, betting is the flavor of watching a game. Accepting the tendency or possibility of losing is what will make a gambler enjoy gambling. But no matter how we want to look at gambling, it is a normal response to chase money for those who hope that much simply because they took the risk. They won't be chasing such feat if they're just watching and not being tensed of whatever outcome happens.

If you are sticking with one source of income, it is either you would strive for a higher position or higher salary to afford things. Another option is to adjust your expenses for things to be enough given the circumstance of only having a single source of income. But personally, eversince I started working, I never settled with a single stream of income. Well, yes, it is sometimes tiring however if you desire of more things then you should move more. Nothing's easy when it comes in life so better make the adjustment to serve the purpose you always wanted. You could start with learning new set of skills or things which may increase your credentials and/or the things you could offer in order to simply earn more. Again, this is an option if you no longer consider having two sources of income. It aso depends on what would work best for you given that we are living under different circumstances. Some people are okay with one job, and that's just fine. What matters is being able to suffice your daily needs and being able to save up for future nd emergency purposes, even little by little.

I agree with 'working on it' which should be a must. Also with the idea that many people are having desires of owning their own business however, things are not easy. As others have mentioned, inflation affects a country's economy, then that could also affect the overall status of businesses. What I have in mind is to not be 'one dimensional' because of the 'graduate' thing. Problem with economies are not being able to support all professions, leaving graduates on the average. However, an individual has a choice which is whether to develop new skills and create new opportunities for them to make a better living. Alo the idea of stepping up your game; you need to be more in order to earn more. It is just unfortunate that adjustments should be done by people and not the governments when it comes to careers. Nothing's easy for sure but it will all require initiative to adapt with every situation, for better and for worse. Trying is just fine and what's not is to never make an effort to give yourself a nice 'break' you've been waiting eversince.

Won't be considered second to Bitcoin for no reason.  Even right now its market price is close to $3k and there's a possibility for the breakout this May due to ETF approval. Given how large its chain is, it is quite not surprising and more of anticipated from Ethereum to be  a good crypto to invest your money with. It has long term progress and development which will for sure make it alive in this industry for long. No wonder why ETH is always on the list of the best coins of this technology.
It is indeed can be called the top Altcoin of this market but not because of its value but the size of its chain, large volume, and number of people or its community of users. ATH is possible to be hit halfway of this year if all of its progress will be successful althroughout. Glad that I have never given up of it for the years its price went down. I managed to accumulate  a decent amount by now and cheers for those who believed. Hoping tha there would be more of its progress for this year forward.

There is. Bullrun is a term being used in this industry and in layman's term it is a period wherein many investors are buying which creates high demand, making the market price increase. It might just be with the word "upcoming" because it is being anticipated rather than felt. But still it could still be given that there is an event involved which is halving. The process of bullrun is some sort of a domino effect. Big investors would anticipate and "buy" the idea of halving, which would uplift the demand as well as prices, then small investors will do the same thing, until it becomes a "wave" or a period that most of the tokens' market price are increasing.

Indeed Bitcoin is originally a digital currency but won't you take advantage of its feature which is volatility, if it would benefit you? Its market value is affected by demand which associates it to an asset or investment and there's really nothing wrong with that. There are still issues with global adoption of this industry anyway which is another barrier to why people aren't making use of Bitcoin and this technology in general as a mode of payment, therefore we cannot blame those people who are using it as an alternative investment as long as they are gaining profit from doing so.

Withdrawal part is a bit confusing. If it is that he can't withdraw the funds for 90 days then that would be unfair. But to my understanding, the 90 dys is only referred to his account being blocked as he requested. If his money will be held as well for that long then that will be a bad regulation for the gambling site and if it is just for account blockage, then I'd understand that because in almost anything online, there is an interval with actual account deletion or restriction, even with facebook, just to give an example. But that's indeed true, you have to temporarily forget of things than to stress about it. He should also ask for clarification regarding the withdrawal since the answer was categorized to both of his two concerns. However at the end of the da you will be left with no other choice but to just comply. OP also has a fault of still depositing an amount even with closing it already was on his mind. Just move with other platforms after this to ease your mind. Also make reading a habit for sure this is included in their ToS.
