Are you going to allow your friends confuse you on what you don't desire to do? You are already convinced that bitcoin investment and gambling is not the same thing but your friends are insisting they are, friend you don't need to prove anything to them. Addict gamblers are like that, they are use to arguing that way because you are not doing same thing they are doing and they want to generalize every thing together. But you know the difference by your self, why don't you keep to it and if you want to gamble by yourself you can instead of allowing them to persuade you.

Yeah, absolutely.

Gambling is not investing.

The thing is that a lot of people just want a quick fix, get rich overnight, etc, and that's basically gambling. With investing you will probably get more money in the end because there's something being created, whereas with gambling, it's just entertainment provided by the casino.

Leave it alone if they want a quick fix or get rich overnight to see the results they will get. There is no quick way to get rich instantly because we all have to try, and it depends on how strong we are. If we can find something that will help us earn more money than other people, we can become rich. But there is no short way to get rich.

By investing in crypto, you can have the opportunity to become rich after going through the process. But in gambling, it looks like you need more luck to win.

You cant really say that sports betting cant really be able to create those addicted gamblers on which there are still who are addicted bettors too, it is really just that the result or outcome of getting wrecked isnt really that
on fast pacing unlike when you do play on a casino or fast pace kind or type of games on which you would be definitely be finding yourself that losing money on a very fast manner. Doesnt matter whether you are getting involved with sports or casinos which risks is always there. Gambling is for entertainment and if you do know on what you are doing and you are really setting out those limitation or moderation on how you would be spending things up then you are really just that fine or you would be considering yourself to be just fine. Speaking about investment and other similar ventures then it would really be according into you because
not all would really be that mindful in regard into this matter.

Indeed, the pace at which wins and losses occur varies between gambling forms. However, it's not necessarily the speed of the loss that fuels addiction. Persistent, slow losses can create a false illusion of mastery, enticing individuals into the mire of problem gambling. Indeed, gambling is seen as entertainment – the optimal circumstance. Yet, the line separating joy and dependency is delicate and often blurred, particularly without self-regulatory checks. On comparing gambling to investing, one must grasp their essential distinctions. Investment entails calculated risks, backed by market study and financial foresights. In contrast, gambling depends primarily on chance, where the house always holds an advantage

Gambling less is one of the ways we can ensure that we stay safe as a gambler since frequent gambling can make us to become an addictive gambler. Loses is one of the often things we do see in gambling and we should not be discouraged and decided to go into gambling fully with the urge of making more money from it if we become a full term gambler. Once we defined the reason why we are going into gambling, that will make us to sharpen our objectives and help us to achieve our object with time not trying very hard to be a successful or profitable gambler by all means with little understanding.

One of the most important things in gambling is self-control. If someone is able to control himself then he will have the opportunity to gamble for a long time. But this self-control is not possible for everyone. Those who want to conduct controlled gambling must not spend too much time in gambling. Because the more time is given to gambling, the more the attraction to gambling can increase. If someone conducts gambling regularly to a certain extent then he will not easily become addicted to gambling.

Well, it's true, this is one of the steps that a gambler can choose to at least reduce you from a loss. Everyone knows that this is what can save them a little from losing for a long time but the reality is that it is a pity that most active gamblers will not be able to fully do this. It is true, as you said, that the longer a person is in gambling, the higher his interest will be and the greater the possibility of losing or losing.

I hope that everyone (gamblers) including myself will always be consistent in limiting themselves in gambling, winning is a very fun thing but the risk of losing will also be very possible when someone spends too much time gambling. The conclusion is that not everyone can exercise self-control in their gambling because it is very difficult to fight the curiosity that grows in their minds, but they can choose one option to slightly reduce their gambling time. Namely by trying to find new activities or adding new activities every day so that indirectly our minds will be a little distracted from gambling, this is what I always apply to myself.

When you say there is no short cut to getting rich quick, I will disagree with you.
There are actually many short cut to becoming rich, the question rather is, how many are willing to pay the price needed?

And lets not also forget that becoming rich too quickly is like getting married when you are not ready, you rush into marriage, you will rich out, else, it will swallow you, so also, if one get rich too quickly, there is every possibility that such riches will vanish before the person even realized what meaning he would do with the money to sustain it.

And again, short cut to getting rich over night is neither in gambling or investing in crypto, it involves other various means and ways, this means and ways may involve going diabolic, going against legal rules, committing a crime against humanity and God.

In reality, the more grown up person is, the more he is exposed to get addicted by gambling. Young people havent seen much in their life, they have more temptation to do this and that. Aged people, imho prefer not to try something new or chance something in their life. So it is easier for them to get into routine for doing something over and over again. One of the things they do is gambling. And of course there is a chance that they have earned more than younger people, which makes they might lose more. That is why I think that for grown ups are harder to resist gambling and if they did not build a proper disciplined character from childhood, it is hard for them to discipline themselves.

Regards finding someone to trust your finances - that is also some kind of a gambling Why I think that trusting finances is the key to stay safe and less gamble - when two persons manage finances, the probability of making wrong decision, loosing everything is decreased. Not two times. But next time you want to go all-in or spend lots of money, first you have to convince yourself for such expense (might not be hard), but also convince the other person to give you money

I completely agree with you because it is a vicious cycle for older people to keep gaming. Its like being so engrossed in a TV show that you can't wait to see what happens next. However, I believe that one's behaviors are more important than one's age. If they aren't careful, people of any age can develop negative routines.

Having a second set of eyes on your finances is a good idea, and I agree with you that it's a good idea in theory. Sort of like working together in a video game. You have support, but you must also have faith that they won't make matters worse. Keep in mind that this is your own money that you worked hard for.

In my opinion, you're contradicting yourself. How can a person who has no control over himself control how much he will gamble?

A few years ago, when I visited land-based casinos, I took a certain amount of money with me so that I would not lose it all. I'll be honest with you, there were times when I lost all the money and took a cab home to get the money to try to win back. Of course that didn't lead to anything good.

Nowadays, when most of us are gambling online, it has become much harder to stop, because you have all your money with you when you play.

Taking a cab back to get the money to try and win back the lost money is a huge sign of bad addiction to gambling,I only imagine what you can do now that you can play online from the comfort of your coach or sofa.It is great that you realized it soon after and I think you are addiction free now.I have done the same but not taking the cab as I had a huge casino 15 minutes walking distance from my home,those were really dark times,I kept playing up until 2 AM at those times at Caesar Palace and I remember only losing money in a continuous way.Self control can only be learned through hard ships like these ones that puts you into deep thinking.

If you talk about shortcuts to getting rich through crime, that is different from the topic here.

Getting rich from gambling is difficult, especially if we rely only on luck, which cannot come every time. Even in the work we do in the office or as an entrepreneur, it takes time to become rich. Starting from saving expenses, managing finances well, having investments or saving, and others, we can slowly become rich, which requires process and time.

But if they decide to commit a crime, as you suggest, they should know that the risk is being caught or killed. They must be prepared for all the risks.

That easy to access capabilities will lead us to lose more, I mean by following your statement, gambling online can easily link your banking information and from that you can quickly deposit money to your bankroll, a tough challenge to you in terms of controlling yourself and avoiding to keep losing more.

As we all know, when you already compromise and you already losing a lot, the chance that you will be aggressive and will try to recover those losses.

Getting rich would really be possible on these means;

1. Illegal doings ( not recommendable)
2. Lottery jackpot/ Gambling ( not recommendable)
3. Investment/Businesses

#1 and #2 then it would really be your choice but when it comes on being ethical then we arent that dumb on which one should really be avoided if you dont like on getting imprisoned on which
same as you said that it would really be a different topic because this is pertaining about committing a crime or illegal things or something that shouldnt be done.

Gambling is for fun and not something that you could rely your living or survival or making it as a source, if you are that extremely lucky then hitting jackpots might also happen.
Investment would be the best choice but of course there would be no assurance but at least it would be the most realistic way on achieving out that certain condition or situation.

Yeah, you're right, you can actually get rich overnight in certain scenarios, like when inheriting money, or marrying someone rich that shares their money, etc. Things like that.

Plus also there are the lucky events, where you literally win the lotto, or you just got lucky in a business, etc.

But in general, it takes effort in the right direction to become rich.

Even if you work hard all your life, if you're in the wrong business, you'll never be rich.

Numbers 1 and 2 clearly cannot provide short, medium or long term benefits because that is a gamble where it will be difficult for us to win. But for number 3, we still have the opportunity to make money but we really have to be able to choose investments or create businesses that can be profitable in the short, medium and long term. But many people still rely on gambling to make money because they think and see what other people get at gambling so they think they can get it too.

It is true that gambling is for fun and not for making money. So when we can make money from gambling, it's just a bonus that other people can get. But to get it too often, it won't be easy because gambling depends on luck. So, in this case, we should choose to invest or create a business to make money or profit to avoid the risk of losing big money at the gambling table. And even though investing or business also has the risk of losing money, we can manage it to avoid losing a lot of money.

There are really ways to get rich quick, but most of them are still hard to attain. The things you've mentioned such inheriting a lot of money and marrying someone rich, it takes hardship or maybe luck to get this done. Sometimes, inheritance isn't automatically passed down to the heir. Some heirs work their ass off to be acknowledged as worthy to the inheritance. Although some are lucky enough to get inheritance without doing anything. It's also to struggle to marry someone isn't the same on your social status nowadays since most people want a person who can bring as much as they can onto the table.

Winning lottery is such a dream too. It's a one in a million probability to win the exact jackpot combination to make you a millionaire instantly. It's not really easy to get rick quickly because it will take time and effort for you to accomplish something. Hence, you must work smart and be strategic in order to be financially independent in the future.

There are numerous individuals who share the same desire as you to reduce their gambling habit. However, only a select few have the means to do so while still maintaining safety. The allure of gambling can be difficult to resist due to its enticing nature and the difficulty of avoiding certain triggers.

Furthermore, for those who have developed a true addiction to gambling, reducing their habit can be an uphill battle. Even taking a break from gambling can be a challenge for those who are already addicted.

Therefore, it is crucial for gamblers to limit and reduce their gambling habits to prevent excessive addiction.

The word gamble less is the best, but a difficult principle to maintain and that's where I like the statement you made of a lot of individuals sharing the same desire, forgetting that anything that involves cash just makes the whole thing more difficult, once you a get win, you keep trying to get more wins and that is when addiction starts coming in gradually. bro people that are addicted don't take breaks I have seen this before the only thing is that, if you can get busy and you have another source of income your mind can gradually drift out from the part of gambling.

You explained it pretty accurately. But I don't think most of gambling addicts are aware that they are addicts. They only think its desire to play, keep on and have fun making money. I didn't see many people thinking that they are plagued by addiction that they need to combat. Its so hard to accurately/safely guide gambling addict too. I mean if I had gambler friend that I want to help I am pretty sure he wouldn't listen me at all. Its hard for gambling addicts to heal unless they themselves accept it and go seek help.

Yes, it is true that when you are busy, it is possible for someone to forget about their gambling habits, but make no mistake when they have become addicts they will do it no matter how busy they are. Let's just say they are busy working all day, and that doesn't mean that no matter how busy they are there is no time to rest, right? well at times like that they will usually take the time to open their cellphones to then access gambling sites. Addiction will beat their fatigue, and maybe for them it is one way to relieve fatigue. Or even I also see my friends who can still gamble during their working hours, they are willing to steal time in between their work.

I am not a gambling addict but some friends are making me look like one because I gamble less and they gamble more,

Since you gamble less, why do you care about how how your friends make you feel? you know you are not addicted to gambling so i see no reason why you should be worried about what they say about you, if you know you are not addicted, then you should just be looking at them, what they say or how they make you feel shouldn't disturb you, if you are really a addicted gambler that's when you are suppose to be feeling bad.

it all started when we got into an argument that investing in Bitcoin is not the same as gambling, my friends who are gamblers, not full-time but more of a gambler than I am, are claiming that there is no difference between investing and gambling, they said if all you doing is investing money on Bitcoin you are no different to those who are gambling in a casino.

Your friends are find of funny to me, but did you ask then why they think bitcoin investment is the same as gambling? I can conveniently say it anywhere that gambling is completely different from bitcoin investment. Maybe your friends are already addicted to gambling, so no matter what you tell them, they wont want to listen to you. Just tell them what bitcoin investment is all about and what gambling is all about, then its left for them to believe that bitcoin investment and gambling are not the same.

Furthermore, I told them that Bitcoin investors tend to get positive results, while online casino gamblers tend to get negative results more than positive result, true or false?

What i notice is that in the long run, gamblers are the once that are always losing and gambling site owners are the once that are always winning. When a gambler wins any amount of money, then if you calculate the amount wasted before winning,then you will notice that the amount they have lost is even more than the amount won, but most of them dont notice that.

Winning the lottery or marrying into a wealthy family arent methods, right? Its just...life. Some of the time it works out. This isnt always the case. The lottery is the same way. I think we can all agree that this is a common dream. But the odds are slim, mate.

The key to success is putting in intelligent, purposeful effort. Gaining financial freedom requires not a lucky pickaxe, but rather the application of dedication, perseverance, and expertise. Its like putting together a masterpiece. Are you not in a hurry? You instead slowly work on it until you've created something you're happy with. Its the same with money. Money doesnt grow on trees, and neither did Rome.

Hat matters what your friends gets to say about you and on the gambling course with regards to investments.

I think they are basically trying to draw a risk association as a means in which they could get some positivity out of there argument but, what is wring will always be wrong no matter the relationships drawn.
You count tie risk as a base gor argument nor label anything that come with risk to be gambling.

Gambling isn't predictable, especially when it comesto casino games. Sportsbook might be predictable but even still, its a game of chance and luck.  Since you know yourself and you've been able to develop a healthy habit about gambling, you be good and don't give much reason to what your friends say about you.

Yeah, absolutely.

Gambling is not investing.

The thing is that a lot of people just want a quick fix, get rich overnight, etc, and that's basically gambling. With investing you will probably get more money in the end because there's something being created, whereas with gambling, it's just entertainment provided by the casino.

Leave it alone if they want a quick fix or get rich overnight to see the results they will get. There is no quick way to get rich instantly because we all have to try, and it depends on how strong we are. If we can find something that will help us earn more money than other people, we can become rich. But there is no short way to get rich.

By investing in crypto, you can have the opportunity to become rich after going through the process. But in gambling, it looks like you need more luck to win.

Many have tried to get that success overnight but most of them failed because they don't have what it takes to be in the position in the first place, wealth will just be waste if it will fall into their hands because judging by how they think about gambling, we sure do know already what would be the scenario if in case they will land a fortune and sure enough it won't last that long.
