Re: Am I a bad father for letting my daughter gamble?
by
Mahanton
on 25/07/2025, 21:57:21 UTC
The truth is  I don't know what to call you right now, because I might call you name that may look offensive to you, but that's by the way. Talking about your daughter, the gambling habit she have developed at her tender age  is an inappropriate behaviour, which I don't do away with such behaviour, normally gambling is not a bad thing, but starting to gambler at a tender age when the person is not up to 18 make the person look indecent, especially when the person is a female. In my country if a female child demonstrate this kind of inappropriate behaviour she will automatically get tag of an indecent  person, and no man will take her serious when it comes to relationship and so on.

Parenting comes with different choices and responsibilitie that often generates guilt.As a parent,you can simply set limits for your child and still give permission for the child to absorb interest over things you condone in your parenting plan/approach.He let her gamble;parents should ensure to lead by example because not all fun is appropriate for children.
Well, on no account should parents allow their underaged children gamble, this is not a matter of allowing a child absorb interest in anything, but a matter of teaching them to know that there is a time and age for everything.

If your child is of age, like if he or she has become an adult, you as a parent can not utterly stop him or her from gambling, and he or she does not need your permission to gamble so long as he or she is getting his or her own money, as a parent, what you can do is advice, advice the son or daughter on the dos and don'ts, let them in on the dangers that comes with excessive gambling and so on, after all, gambling isn't a bad thing to engage oneself in but it's always better to do it when one is of the right age with a fully developed brains.
Just like on what you have said that if  the age is that indeed low on that specific legal or mature age then it would be just that right for us parent to teach them up or would be having that guidance but since we are talking 17 years old of age on here then it is just that close to 18 to the next on which there might be some sort of reconsiderations but still as a parent then you would be that still needing up to give them guidance.
Seeing on OP that he's that a bit proud of because he had some experiences in the past that what makes him that a better risk taker and some sort of positive effect that gambling give into him, but we do know that not all would be ending up on having on the same mentality when it comes into this manner on which there are those who do able to recover but there are ones who do end up on messing up their entire life because of gambling addiction and this is somewhat we do need up to consider.

Re: Have you been addicted to gambling in the past.

This question is for those gamblers that were once addicted to gambling and was able to come out from addiction.

How did you go about it?

Was someone there to help you out or you took the bold step all alone?

How long did your addiction last?


What's your best advice to gamblers fighting with addiction?

Sure there are a lot of people who became addicted to gamble after series of loses or maybe they feel that if they should continue with this thier gambling habit that they might probably put thier self in a very  big mess then they start looking for a possible means to stop before it will bring serous problem to them. However, I can't Deny the fact that I'm a gambler and I have been gambling for some years now but I don't see myself as someone who is addicted and even My love ones Also noticed that I'm a responsible gambler.

Well I was low on money and I never suggest this to anyone but decided to gamble in my mobile phone as my main machine is limited with firewall rules and cannot access my favorite gambling sites. Again never do what I just did yesterday and today but I happen to in twice in a row with 150 dollars each session. I withdrew 300 dollars in total and had about 80 left which I lost in an old love of mine Rabbit Garden. The same pattern in this shitty game from Pragmatic, several brutal lost buy bonuses in a row. Now I won because I played Gates of Olympus Super Scatter and that game when it hits it makes you feel good, though only hits rarely.
When you are still that a noob and seen someone who do play something then you do find out that they are making or racking up some big wins, then you would definitely be having that kind of impression that you can actually do it on which this mentality of yours would be that telling you that you should be that playing it also because you've been that believing that you can be able to make up some wins too. Getting addicted some sort of is definitely been experienced by those people who do test out on playing gambling and its just that a normal thing because once you do have those kind of experience on winning up some game then it would be giving out that kind of boost up when it comes into your emotions on which if you arent that good when it comes to control and moderation then this is where shit things do happen. There are those times that you do become that desperate basing up into the mindset that you do have towards gambling. You might be able to recover from addiction or you would be able to easily move on and just that simply forget on what you've been dealing on with.

Re: Be careful with nostalgia
by
Mahanton
on 25/07/2025, 19:59:46 UTC
It reminds me with Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson, I think people were not wrong for saying Mike was still on shape and able to beat Jake, during the match, Mike was only holding his punch and defending in order to keep getting punched by Jake.

How about the recent fight between Manny Pacquiao and Mario Barrios? Does this also have a negative impact on the so-called nostalgia?   I think the negative impact of nostalgia in this fight was nullified by the judges by giving a majority draw.  Lol.

Anyway, I also agree that if one bet because of the nostalgia feeling, he might end up losing the bet in most cases.  What is past is past, especially in sports where the young ones replace the old.  the old one may have the best attribute during his prime but remember this old one had already diminished all of his exlusive attributes that made him a star during his prime.  We cannot think that the performance would be the same since the body of the old isn't as reactive as he was younger.

We should take ex athletes or pro players for fun when they back, you know their "motivation" already different. When they were athletes, their motivation is to be the best. When they weren't, their motivation is for making money.

I agree, just bet for them for fun and do not put a serious amount to think that they can always pull a stunt to win against the younger, stronger generation.
This was the thing I supposed to say or want to mentioned about on which MP vs Barrios on which this is the perfect example. For sure there are tons of people who do made out some bets for MP to win up but since the fight ended up on a DRAW then that do brings out that disappointment in regarding into the decision. If we do try to observe and look at with those scorecards then we can actually say that MP should have won that fight and some been saying that he was robbed on that one. Going back into that nostalgia matters then it wouldnt be so bad to make out some bets as long you are just that making use of the amount that you can afford to lose or simply literally making no all in betting then you would be just that fine. It cant be avoid for sometime that you would be making out some bets on which considering a specific fighter or athlete do make out some remarkable numbers or history then you wont be able to have that kind of resist on making up some bet on which it isnt bad at all.

Re: Maximizing profits, a skill every trader should know.
by
Mahanton
on 25/07/2025, 18:59:28 UTC

I think that success in trading is in two parts, which is
- First having a strategy,
- Secondly knowing how to utilize the strategy to profit well.

Having a strategy is essential for a trader. Every trader's strategy is different, as each trader has their own unique experience, which will also vary slightly from one another.

Usually, when we have a good strategy, learned from extensive market experience, we can maximize profits. Maximizing doesn't mean never losing. But the profit ratio must be greater than the loss. And if we can consistently implement it, it will generate a decent income. It depends on the capital we have.

Clearly, a strategy can't always remain the same. As traders, we must constantly adapt to market conditions. Therefore, I sometimes change my strategy to adapt to market trends or situations. What usually causes someone to continue losing even with a good strategy is that they usually haven't mastered risk management, emotional management in the market, or trading psychology, and also haven't mastered money management. Therefore, such people often panic and fear easily. They sometimes deviate from their own, even if they have a good plan. Afterward, they regret it and try to re-enter, only to lose. I've encountered many traders like that, and I used to be like that myself.
Of course it would be essential or something a must thing to have because at the time that you do make out some trades but without having that proper analysis and plans then you are just that basically doing gambling. On the time or moment that you do deal up with this volatile space, then make it sure that you would be needing up to find yourself that knowledgeable on what you do.

Re: Trading business vs. gambling business in crypto
by
Mahanton
on 25/07/2025, 17:59:29 UTC
Welp, I think gambling is more profitable.

It's easier, you only need to click spin and hope you will win. Unlike trading, you have to watch the chart and it takes time to wait for the chart to move, even it's moving, the return might be not as higher as in gambling.

Gambling has more entertainment, trading no entertainment.

Based on my own observation, the number of gambling addict is higher than trading addict.
If you say gambling is more profitable, you just need to look at it from the point of view of risk,
because the types of trading are also diverse, and gambling also has a higher risk of losing because it's basically just a matter of luck.

Spot trading is safer if you have the right coin like BTC for the long term, but gambling has no choice but to just play and hope to win.
This comparison may not be accurate, as both have their own risks and advantages.

Gambling business in crypto Maybe I'm manipulative or a game from a bookie that integrates crypto into their gambling site.
Some recommended gambling sites apply to that.

Both businesses are the ones who lead if they have a bookmaker and can control the business.
Comparison is actually having no sense. Why? Both things are that different to each other on which we do know that gambling is literally that built for entertainment and trading is something that it is that pertaining about being a business or investment on which you can make yourself that be sustainable if ever you would be able to get up such skills on which of course it wouldnt be that so easy. The only thing that you can make out some differentiations is about on how someone will be taking out such risks and also on how they would be that treating it out because when it comes to engagement or dealing, then each person would be that totally different in regarding into it. Some people are already wary about that comparison but there are still those dumb who dont think up that much and deal up entirely without even trying to look at on how things that should be that handled on. If we do speak about business owner approach on which one is profitable then it would vary but one things for sure that both businesses are that indeed racking up some money or profits that they could made out just because there would be those people who would be that trying up to deal up with it specially with gambling, for trading then it would be usually be speaking into those maker and taker fees on which of course this is how this business works since from the start.

Board Speculation (Altcoins)
Re: Will Bitcoin Ever Be "Flipped"? Or Was That Just a Cycle Myth?
by
Mahanton
on 24/07/2025, 21:34:13 UTC
A few years ago, “the flippening” was a hot topic - every altcoin bull run brought new headlines claiming ETH (or some other chain-of-the-month) was about to overtake Bitcoin in market cap, utility, or narrative.

Fast forward to today: ETH/BTC pair is in a multi-year downtrend, alt narratives are fading, and Bitcoin dominance is back above 60%. The ecosystem feels quiet. No more hype, no more retail. Altcoins aren’t leading anymore — they’re trailing.

Was the "flippening" idea always a meme born from bull market euphoria? Or is there still a real possibility that some crypto asset could overtake BTC in the long run - either in market cap or relevance? Huh
There's always the probability and this shouldnt be that making up some conclusion since no one knows on what the future looks like. Bitcoin might be that father of all crypto but it doesnt mean that it wouldnt be that replaced into that top spot. The only thing that mattes here is about recognition and adoption on which it would be that totally depending or basing up into the community itself. If there would be some flippening then this do simply means that there's much more better with Bitcoin but honestly there are tons of altcoins which performs better than Bitcoin but since it was the origin of crypto and be the first then there's no doubt that it do get that extreme support and investment by the community.

Re: The "Lottery Ticket" Mentality
by
Mahanton
on 24/07/2025, 19:59:16 UTC
<..snip..>
Are you that type of gambler that has kind of mentality? It could be that is obviously flawed in the beginning so there could be gamblers that are now willing, or maybe as I have said, we might have been using it already but we just didn't know.

Nope I usually stick with my plan whenever I gamble and when that plan does not go well, I just usually call it a day and stop.

The person whom you described is my father- he tends to push his luck further thinking that even the smallest odds will be in his favour. Before he used to engage in cockfighting and even built a designated farm breeding fighting chickens for such purpose. Currently, he still gambles via purchasing lottery tickets (though he even won 4-5 numbers in the past).

With that kind of mentality, it sets it as a dangerous precedent especially if it develops and evolves as your main strategy. Without realizing it, you would be just surprised to see that most of your resources would be exhausted in the process.
Thats how it should be but there are people or bettors who cant be able to stick up into something which is sensible or having that much more better option but rather they would be  that wanting to test out the other side and thats why they do end up on devastative just because into the things that they've been that currently been dealing on with. You are the ones will be that trying out to make out those realizations and it would be that totally impossible that you cant be able to determine those factors or risks into those bets on which you've been that taking up a shot on betting into those underdogs with having that very considerable or significant odds. Yes, we are dealing with gambling on which is a game of chance or luck but knowing that sports betting on which you can actually be able to apply some analysis on every bet you do made out to increase that kind of winning rate on which means that in sports betting then you can potentially make out such step for you to be able to have that at least having the edge rather than on making up some blind bets because you've been hoping for something that bigger profit or winnings.

Re: Investment is for everyone
by

on 24/07/2025, 18:56:55 UTC
Investing may seem easy, but it's not as easy as others say. Successful investing requires knowledge, research, discipline, time, and a strong understanding. Furthermore, ensure you make the right investment decisions, aligned with your needs, financial situation, and goals. Don't force something that doesn't suit you, as it can produce less than expected results.
For those that understood investment very well, know that is not easy to become successful in investment no matter who you are either poor or rich. To achieve the knowledge of investment is not easy because you have to be patient and endure in your learning for you to be strong to acquire the knowledge of investment to become great in future, any amount of funds you know you can't afford to lose, don't invest such huge amount of funds in the decentralized investment because you will not like what will happen will the market turn against investors that are expecting income in that period, but the most important thing is that make sure you sell when you know there is a gain for you to achieve.

Anything that will lead you to profit don't usually comes easily you need to face some challenges before you can be successful on it. We need to know that investment is a good source that can lead you to become rich, but you need to have the knowledge about the investment you are planning to begin before you can be one of them. Anything that is all about investment,  just put in mind that he will always be a long term project, you can't just be rich just a day when investing. Op you are right investment is for everyone except you are not interested with the investment they introduce to you. You need to know that patient is the key for all investment if you are not really patient you will always find it difficult to succeed on investment or probably even in a business. Because not always you can be profitable, they usually get difficult day that you will be in a loss in any investment you are doing,  things won't go well as you planned.
Its never been easy no matter what angle you would be that trying out to do on which making profit or making money is never been that easy on which you would be needing up to consider about taking up that risks management will be that something significant because you cant just that easily make yourself that made out some money without risking money and thats why its important that you should know on what you are that doing. Investment is for everyone but not all would be having that kind of confidence on doing so because they would be that skeptical on doing so because they dont want or like to lose money on which it is just that a normal reaction. There are just that those times that we would be that hesitant on doing so and thats why you would be able to see different decisions made out by someone because they will be rather than skeptical on doing such action because they are afraid on taking up such step. When you are that trying out to make money or wanting to earn then you would be needing up to take up some step for you to be able to have that kind of probability or chance for you to be able to be profitable but same goes when you do have the chance of losing money. Some people do have the capital on which this one is really that an advantage but they are still that skeptical on taking up such step just because they cant be able to have that better risks management or having the courage on doing so. There are those who do have that taking up some loans just because they do wanted to take up some investment or business and taking up a shot to become successful on which I could say that it would be better to be that a risks taker rather than on having doing nothing at all, but of course you should be always be that considerate into those actions that you've been that doing and accept out into those probabilities or chances that you might be able to encounter along the way. What matter most on here is that you should be sticking into your plan and always set out those back up plans if ever. Its impossible that you cant be able to learn up different lessons along the way on which this could make you that a better investor as you do go forward. Just dont make yourself that being too optimistic or being that too positive because not all the ime it will be giving out that positive outcome on which means that there are still those loses too.

Re: Secret to success of long term betting.
by
Mahanton
on 24/07/2025, 17:59:34 UTC
.. analyze the game beforehand, but avoid watching it live. It helps keep your emotions in check.

This advise is for gamblers who cannot control their emotions, gamblers who are gambling above their means, and gamblers who are desperate for a win.

Gamblers who cannot control their feelings will find a hard time watching a game they have gambled on. This is because sports games especially football is full of surprises, a minute the game is in favour of the gambler and in another minute the game is against the gambler. Since this is the nature of the game, a gambler will who cannot control his emotions will be under pressure until the end of the game. The good thing about such a gambler not watching this game is that it will be easy to check the outcome of the game and move on if the outcome doesn't go in his favour.

For gamblers who have staked so high on the game or have placed stake which exceeds an amount they can afford to lose will not have rest watching the game. The fear of losing such stake will keep the gambler on his toes until the end of the game and sometimes the gambler may even transfer aggression to other viewers because little banter or jokes is enough to trigger aggressive reaction from the gambler. So, to be at the safer side the gambler should not watch the game.

Desperate gamblers especially a gambler who is having a losing streak and so wants to recover his losses can never be happy especially if he has already lost money that shouldn't be meant for gambling. His reaction will not be friendly and his emotions will be difficult to control if he is watching the game.

However, for a gambler gambling for fun, there will be so much excitement in watching the game because watching the game is where he gets the pleasure especially when he is watching his favourite team playing.
If you do find yourself that becoming that too emotional and highly impulsive then gambling isnt for you. You would definitely be facing up some issues later on if you would be that deciding on proceeding on what you are that trying out to achieve. Its important that you shouldnt be thinking about being that successful or what when you do make out some bets. Always be considerate on how you should be that talking in speaking about dealing up with betting on which this one involves using up funds for you to be able to make money too but in general essence on why we do make out some bets is really just that to have some fun. If you do become successful towards it then this signifies that you are a good sports bettor but its not recommended on pursuing out this career because tons of people had messed up their lives just because they cant be able to control themselves when it comes to spending. This is what been usually be mainly be affected for those people who had been that getting involved with it. Some could be able to stop and think up along the way but majority is that being blinded with their greed and being that delusional due into those emotions that they've been currently been that dealing into. Success shouldnt be that your primary target when dealing up with betting on which it should be that having the fun and entertainment on which this will be your main consideration at the time that you do make out some bets. If ever you are profitable then it do shows that you are doing fine but always put up into your mind that not all the time on which someone will be that profitable with their betting on which there would be those losing days and profitable bets in between. What matter most on here is that you dont make yourself that being addicted into it on which this is where most better

Re: How can you use ChatGPT for day trading

on 23/07/2025, 21:59:01 UTC
I have been seeing this in many places recently, including the news.

Not only that but also I saw some ads that writes 'let AI trade for you'. Have you been seen something like this? If you are a trader, you might noticed it also.

Just be careful, AI bots can be helpful but they are not excellent and they can result to huge loss if care is not taken.
People need to understand that ChatGPT is not the solution for everything. Just like in trading, ChatGPT is not a tool to rely on because it is programmed by human knowledge. Therefore, depending on ChatGPT is similar to relying on someone else in trading.

 One of the worst things that can happen to a trader is to depend on a tool or other people for trading, because you cannot assess the level of understanding that anyone has about trading. You can only trust yourself in trading, and if you are not good enough to give yourself the best, you can work towards improving your knowledge in trading.
People are now highly reliant with AI on which in every move and action they are making then they would be that having that kind of approach that making use of AI. We cant be able to deny that when it comes to overall purpose and utility then AI is helpful but there are things on which that AI cant be able to resolve or would be having sense on trying out to make some trading and making use of AI on which there are tons of factors on which you would be needing up to consider before you would be that making up such position. Not everything could be read up or could be that written or searched by AI and even if you do have those statistics and information but still it would be that depending into your decision making.

Re: When gambling what do you measure? Luck or chances?
by
Mahanton
on 23/07/2025, 20:59:53 UTC
Different gambling activities have different chances attached to them and when I mean chances I am referring to the probability you have for actually win the bet or hit the jackpot in games like crash and slots. This is basically because sometimes unrealistic bets can sometimes play out as a win and some other times bets that have a high winning chance can eventually become the losing bet.

I believe people who gamble on sports may understand this better since sometimes in sports betting some gambler's prefer to go for the smaller odds that usually have a higher winning chance and sometimes they can still end up a losing game however some prefer to go for the big game with big odds and smaller winning chances.

What's usually your pick as a gambler since sometimes some persons are luckier than others?
Doesnt matter if Luck or chances on which if we do speak about literally then it would be just that all the same. Why? if you do have those chances then you would consider yourself that lucky

In the Bitcoin BTC world, every mistake creates a story.


# If You Sent to the wrong address?

    $ You learned about step and finality.


# If you bought from the top / high price?

   $ Then You discovered and learned that emotions are not any strategies.


# If you trusted any centralized exchange to much?

$ You found the meaning and learned that "Not your keys, not your coins."!!


# If you Sold too soon?
 $  You have learned about the power of patience and the power of Bitcoin.

# If price go down after your bought  and want to find the reason?
 $ You learned about market manipulation and trading fud / fomo

Bitcoin doesn’t forgive. It teaches you with every mistake. And its never go down we just face market manipulation its always break ATH !!
#1
I havent been able to experience this one out, in all the years I've been here on this market. Always make sure on having that double check with the address
then you would be able to avoid this problem.
#2
Emotions is that the main problem or cause on here, specially when you are that getting FOMO then you wouldnt be wanting to miss out the train.
Somewhat it does need up some luck and timing for you to be able to get in and ride with the trend or else, you would be ending up on buying on the peak and possibly be waiting
for long time for you to be able to recover.
#3
Its always been the golden rule on which actually its the basic but tons of people do goes into the opposite side of things. Well, it would be understandable that
there would be those people who do make out some short term trades on which they would be that parking out their coins into those platforms but always be having that discretion on doing so.
#4
Patience does take up a huge part when it comes to success but it would be depending on what or which coin you've been holding because not all coins will be having that guarantee

Re: consequenced of promoting illegal casinos.

And it's already starting now...

https://news.tv5.com.ph/breaking/read/meta-purges-influencer-pages-promoting-illegal-e-gambling

Quote
(July 21, 2025) – Meta has taken down the Facebook pages of 20 influencers promoting illegal online gambling.

The digital advocacy group Digital Pinoys made initiative to take down Facebook pages that promote e-gambling on the platform. Among the influencers affected are Boy Tapang with 5.5 million followers, Sachzna Laparan with 9.7 million followers, Kuya Lex TV with 100,000 followers, and Mark Anthony Fernandez with 242,000 followers.

For sure there’ll be another batch coming. Some might’ve promoted illegal gambling in the past and already stopped, but I think they’re still gonna be held accountable for it.
Good move by the government, and I think Meta only acted because the government requested it.

That's the consequence when you are only after the money and you didn't consider what possibility may happen, and now that the government do the kind of actions against those vloggers who are promoting e-gambling surely we will see more names especially those known names who are promoting this kind of business, not going to be surprise if there are popular names that will also affected.
And thats it!, We've been just that talking about these consequences and now we've seen these banning or blocking up these accounts now just because of what they've been advertising. Actually gambling in the Philippines is legal but the ones they've been promoting are the illegal ones and since considering that these companies does have the money or funding that they can produce out on marketing then you would be able to expect that there would be those people who would be taking out the bait and would be that promoting blindly without even trying out to see on what are the potential effects or outcome that they would be having when the time comes on which considering that they've been that promoting something illegal or not registered then expect that government wouldnt be that allowing for these stuffs to take run on or would be that letting it slipped into their hands specially if we do speak about taxation then government wouldnt be that going easy or just that make them to be happy forever. Now, that we've seen these blocking and prohibitions into their accounts then it would be having that domino effect on which basing up on the article then it do already have that 20 accounts being blocked as of this moment and for sure the lists would be that continue. We can expect that it would be that more longer because recently if we do speak about on how many people that been promoting gambling then it is already that quite rampant and considering winto these developing countries and we do have that social media exposure then tons of people would be that affected on this one or would be that influenced out. There are already tons of gambling addiction situations or problems that being known and raised up on which we can definitely be somewhat be able to blame out into those people who do keep on spamming out on promoting gambling without minding about other peoples situation or potential effect into it. This is why im that amazed into those people who do have that tons of followers but havent been able to accept out those generous promotions with those gambling companies and decided to go with that ethical path and continue into their own interest without disrupting themselves into those gambling promotion offers on which we can say that it is that big but they havent let themselves getting blinded by it.

Re: Importance of budgeting
by
Mahanton
on 23/07/2025, 17:58:42 UTC
Budgeting is very important for everybody that makes money, including companies and governments. So far you are getting money on a regular basis there is need to have a budget for how you spend the money. Even when you are gifted money that you didn't plan for, there is still need to make a budget so that you don't waste it on things that are not important to you. The simplest definition of budgeting is having a plan on how to allocate money so that you will not misuse it.

It is said in economics that human wants are insatiable so you have to know the difference between wants and needs. As human beings we want many things that we can't afford so we have to focus on our needs (essentials). Then we have to prioritize the 'needs' and the most important one is the first to be allocated funds to, then the second and down the hierarchy.

It is the same for business people and governments, they have to start from a planing stage and arrive at allocating funds according to importance of their expenses and projects.

Budgets requires discipline, what does not fall into the plan should be carried over or suspended. You can add other importance of budgeting that you know so that we can all learn from each other.
If you are a person who cant be able to determine about on whats good and whats bad then you would be that likely having that some problems later on which we do know that it would be that something significant or important that budgeting will be needing up because even if you do have that tons of money or having that funding but sooner or later those funds would be that totally wasted just because you do prioritize wants over needs on which this is what most people that been trying out to do so. There are just that those times that you do become impulsive or having not minding up that much about responsibilities but rather you are that trying out to achieve something that you've been longing for so long and instead on buying up the priorities, you do rather choose up the other side and make yourself that contented. Its not bad to buy up your wants for sometime but this would be only that after you had been able to pay up the bills and allocate funds into those something important like savings/emergency funds and other correlated things on which after that, then this is the time that you would consider on buying up something for you on which it isnt that a bad choice either. There are just that those times that you do lose up that control on which this one would be causing up that total devastation when it comes to finances. Regrets do always come at the end on where they should have that be able to stop it out when you are just that being sensible and mindful into the actions that you are taking into. Sometimes we dont think off about into those negative impacts not until the time that we've been experiencing out the unfortunate condition on which we've been that currently that experiencing on. Importance of budgeting is that you would be able to save up yourself when there's that crisis and since you do have that back up money or funds then you wouldnt be finding yourself having some hardship on surviving out on which of course it will be that situational because not all will be having that kind of actions to be made out along the way. Tere are just that those times that you've been that becoming irresponsible when it comes into your spending just that because you've been that able to encounter those factors that do affect out on the way you've been thinking.

2. Bigger paychecks.
Not all rich people are gamblers but they certainly have more chances to gamble if they wanted to. According to data, the higher the income is in some countries the more people gamble in that country. Since the average citizen is earning a lot, even if they spend quite a significant amount of money in gambling this will still not cause financial doom.
This is not entirely true, if we are referencing the statistics on the number people who actually gamble and we are measuring this in respect of the rich and poor, then I'll be quick to point out to you that a higher number of the poor people gamble because they see it as a means of survival. Most of them do it in physical casinos as against the online casinos that this reference may have been drawn upon.

Most rich guys are very busy and gamble less, only that they gamble with higher amounts when they do and that would compensate for a lot of the plow people's gambling amounts combined together.
I actually that making up some comment into this point #2 on which it isnt always about talking about bigger paychecks. Here in our country on which I can say that this is a 3rd world country on which there are tons of people who do live in poverty but still you would be able to see them into those gambling places on which you do neither see them into these locations and even having that huge statistics or numbers about playing online casinos as well on which you can definitely say that there are tons of desperate people who do want to play gambling just because of that very sole reason on which is to make money out of it without even trying out to realize that they are the ones who are being farmed with those business owners and thats the sad reality we do have in.

Re: Does trading mean a better life?

In many cases, when you search or find something online by writing trading, you will notice that by trading, they mean a better life and a more expensive life. They mention it, but in reality, it is quite difficult to make a profit by trading, if someone does not actually follow trading for a long time, it is not possible for him to make a profit. So in this case, a message goes to the newbies that maybe they will be able to enjoy that kind of better life by trading. So many people think that starting trading means that they will only make a profit. But they do not think that they can lose, which is why most people face losses when they come to trading.

Many people are promoting many sites that are not actually related to trading, but they are also scamming people. I don't want to name all those sites because many people have invested there and lost their money, but in this case, they are scamming people even though they mean trading.


Most times the promotion sites can be one to scam people but trading on its own seems different from what they make it seems, moreso nothing good comes easily and at such you need to make sacrifices to attain a successful outcome, which is why most traders risks huge amount to get higher returns and profits cause they believe there's more to it when you risk especially when it's what you can afford to lose.

Yeah lot of this sites you see actually makes trading looks totally different and the reason they do that is to scam those people that has no idea or knowledge about trading, I saw a site that was saying people can put there money on the site and they will trade with it and then give you the profit and it will be done every week like the profit will be giving to you weekly for those who do not understand trading they will feel that is how trading is and they will invest and get scammed.

Taking risk when trading should be done using only money you can afford to lose or your Discretionary income, it is very wrong to take risk with the money you are to use to pay for your house rent, some people are now on the street and very poor because of some risk they took when trading, it is very important we remember that trading is very risky and should be done carefully so as to avoid getting into financial set back or problem.
Use money you can afford to lose don't forget this.
Yeah with those scam fund manager or lets say that they've been that trying out to exploit those lazy investors or traders that they are the ones who would be handling out their capital on just simply showing off some fake trading history and gains or PNL's on which there are those people who do easily have that being hooked up and ending up for them to have these kind of options on which they've been that scammed in the end. Nothing beats out if you are the ones who do have that kind of learning with specific skills on which you would be needing up to learn and if you are that eager on learning up trading on your own then you are the ones who would be needing up to take up such learning this skill. Trading isnt always that talks about on having a better life but it could also give out that devastation if ever the outcome or result would be that totally opposite on what you had anticipated. We do know that not all traders are that become that profitable on which there would be those who are on the profitable side and there are those who are on the losers side on which means that competition would be that still high because in a market then it would be that involving that sellers and buyers on which it would be that a tug-of-war in between and if you arent that good enough then you would definitely be losing money. It all matters about on how you would be able to sustain on which this should be the main approach and consideration at the time that you do deal up with trading. You cant just that make yourself that making up some conclusions that you would be able to be profitable with this and be able to learn up this skill in a short period of time. Somehow if you are that having that plans on becoming a trader then you are that opening up yourself into some opportunity that you can change up your life when it comes to financial capacity and approach. You are the ones will be that trying out to deal up into something on which you do know that it could give out that kind of chance or situation that you might sustain and be able to find yourself having those change of financial condition on which of course it will be basing up whether you are profitable and consistent, but before reaching out such state then you would be passing through tons of challenges or simply with those trial and errors.

Re: Would you allow your underage kid to use your detail for KYC after a big win.
by
Mahanton
on 22/07/2025, 17:46:55 UTC
This thread reminds me of the argument I was having a few days ago.

When we talk about minors not being allowed to gamble, it's a general rule everywhere, not just in some countries, so if a child who is below 18 years has been gambling without the knowledge of the parent and he or she happensto win an amount which requires advanced KYC to be passed, if the child uses his real ID card, it will be noticed that he's not yet of age.

As a parent to the child, can you allow the child to use your details to pass KYC verification, if asked? And if you do that, does it also mean that you are supporting underage gambling?

I'm not sure there are unlimited non KYC casino for kids to play around with casino but if you have a kid that is smart enough to know the difference, then questions need to be asked where and how they even started because this is abuse of the freedom their parents must have given them. I will allowed my child to use my documents to KYC if the need be but that's going to be the very end of his gambling lifestyle, he is not going to gamble again until they are ready and by that, I mean age.

There is difference between supporting something and event that has already happen. If it's by law, the money belongs to the child and since the parent is responsible for everything the child does, then parent has a very valid reason to stand for any responsibility that comes after and as for the KYC, there is nothing wrong but for gambling, the parents has the right to take any action against their child, it's left for the parent to correct their child for the wrong doings.
Speaking about options then we do have tons on which you wont be needing up to have those verification or simply you can be able to play without having those verification. If it turned out that its already been that strict when it comes to compliance of this one then there would be no option but to go along with those approach. If you are a parent then of course no one would be that liking on allowing their kids to be seen into these places specially if we do speak about gambling. Everything would be basing up on chances or being lucky after all. When we are that speaking about underage gambling then no matter how sport we do out then there would be those possibility that these young people do end up on having that kind of reason on why she would be that staying up. No one likes even on using up those common ways and methods. It all matters about transparency plus having that proper planning.

Re: Visited physical casinos to have real life experience and guess what?

on 19/07/2025, 18:25:35 UTC
I visited the physical casinos to do some comparison since most people often says that physical casinos are transparent while for me I think the online are more trustworthy than physical casinos if not for kyc and withdrawal issues. The images below showed a casino game I tried to gamble on..



Well, I have never played a 40 lucky lines game before but as I asked the agent who is in charge for assistance and i funded and started playing the game, though I feels the real fun there playing the game as I was interacting with people unlike the online casino, though I didn't see how the physical casino is more transparent than online because I actually funded with 500# and I bet with 40# and then turn it into automatic rollover, though I was having the fun while the games was rolling to my surprise I just noticed that my account was drained and there was no much winning, though I won two but lesser than wagered amount decided to continue if I could boost it.

And yes, since it's my first time visiting there, I was happy seeing people gamble over there and having good time with the music playing on the casino hall, and this only makes it interesting.

About transparency as people much preached about physical casinos I didn't see any difference, in fact I wasn't that even sure that physical casinos aren't rigged or adjusted to favor the casino owners and the operators.

What is your thoughts.. do you think both are the same or physical casinos are more transparent than the online casinos? Let discussion wisely.
Nah! You've been just that expecting that you can win up that more often at the time that you would be playing up these slot games on an actual casino on which this couldnt be happening all the time. It do really just that give out that kind of impression just because you've been able to experience those loses and never get some considerable wins on a certain roll. You would definitely be having that different set of words at the time that you do hit up some multiple lines at the moment that you had played, but since you are that experiencing the opposite then you would be saying that there's no transparency or what but since its your own opinion then it would be that valid. This is why there are those still people who do neither want to deal up with online casinos and there are ones who do stay up on physical casinos because of those known reasons when it comes to real time user experience on which it cant be denied that having that playing on physical casinos is much more enjoyable because of the ambiance and having that meet up with fellow gamblers plus you can be able to have that physcial touch with those machines that you would be able to experience for yourself rather than on touching up your mouse on pushing that roll button on which this is the main difference. Everything would be that totally depending into someones preference in the end of the day because if you do find out that physical casinos do sucks then there's nothing we can do because it will be serving out that different market and if you dont like physical casinos then so be it but cant be able to deny that when it comes to experience then i do prefer on physical casinos but when it comes to winning then it would be that always that slim or dont expect that much about it because thats how business works on which gamblers will be always having that disadvantage at the end.

Re: When your kid talk about Bitcoin don't assume it's all good

It's a good thing if your kids decide to venture into BTC and blockchain, but as a parent always make sure you monitor them just to be sure that they are doing what they claimed to be doing online.

Kids nowadays are more into technology for sure but we all know how they can be exposed to the wrong things too, I talked to one yesterday because his father asked me to, his father told me that he knows about web3 very well and he is making money off it, the suspicion came later when his father called and told me that his son lost some BTC on Bybit exchange.

I called for the son and he came, his father isn't there with us and he changed the topic, he claimed that after he sent the BTC to his friends Bybit account, the exchange seized the BTC.

To cut this short, the BTC was stolen, this boy doesn't even know anything about JAVA Script, front end or even how to build a website, he was feeding his father wrong information.

I grabbed his iPhone and noticed that he has been defrauding people online through onlyfans stolen identities, he tried to hide it at first, thinking I don't know much about technology like his old man, later he asked me not to expose him to his father.

This boy and his friend choose to rob people online and he is only 18 years old, he knows BTC by fraud but they are foolish enough not to know that BTC is traceable, since Bybit is on this case already I am expecting an arrest on his friend or even him later, unless Bybit choose not to push this further, maybe because the BTC is just $2000

I wish I couldn't but his father his my uncle, we are related, how will the son even change? This was what came to my mind, I have a son too and I don't want him to be on this same path, I talked to him and I use my story about I ended up with Bitcoin online and also how my father was there to support me before he passed away  and I later told his father not to scold him for lying to him, instead he should start advising him the right way.

What broke my heart was how sad his father was when I told him, he said he trusted the son the most.
We cant be perfect and we do commit out those mistakes but we do know that there's always a solid reason on why a certain person would be dealing up something illegal or non-ethical despite that being guided with their parents on the right way but still there would be those tendencies that these kids will be ending up on dealing into something which isnt that good. The best thing you have done is that you have told the kid and didnt tolerate out the mistake and letting know your uncle about it. Its better to bust it up early while things becomes that more messy as it do goes ahead. There would be those external things that could be the reason that influence you out on doing things even if its not right anymore.

Re: [Boxing] Mario Barrios vs Manny Pacquiao WBC Welterweight Title - July 19
by
Mahanton
on 19/07/2025, 12:54:31 UTC
We've seen this happen on some fighters and they didn't able to recover then not able to get back their 100% shape.

So hopefully everyone is safe after this fight, But still I'm still curious to watch how Pacquaio perform on his comeback match so lets just see how it ends up.
I can’t wait for this fight, it’s already happening tomorrow.

Have you guys placed your bets yet? I already locked in mine. I’ve got Pacman winning by decision at 5.10 odds.

I know he’s older now, but if he still has that sharpness, he can definitely win on points.
So there’s probably not going to be a KO, and if it goes to the scorecards, my bet’s got a good shot.

Pacman by Decision is 5.40 right now. It could mean that his chance of winning is declining. We'll never know the outcome you can only hope you win 5x though.

This is not the kind of fight I would participate to bet, anywhere I look at it I think I'd be losing my funds. Pac could win if he still has it just like Iron Mike still has it and Pac probably have it still but the age and Barrios is also a champ.


It's a title match so we can't expect Barrios to go easy on him. As much as I want Pacquiao to win since we are from the same country, I doubt he can still move swiftly at his age now and match his opponent.

He may be healthy compared to what a usual 46yrs. old guy but it doesn't mean his stamina is still there especially his opponent is 10 years younger than him.

I'm also not betting now even if I always bet on his previous matches. I'll just watch the game live on tv tomorrow. Let's see if Pacquiao still got the skills to be a title holder.

There's no going easy for Barrios for this one, there's no reason on doing so even if he would be having that respect but this is boxing and trying out to defend the title of course. Lets see if Pacquiao would be making out some good comeback or would be that losing up this match and would be saying that he should be that completely retire and never look back or simply he has nothing to prove out anymore. The odds are actually that tempting even with that 2x odds is that good to look at and with those people whom do still believe that there's still that firepower then betting on Pacquiao wouldnt be a bad choice either. Only a few hours before this fight would take place and im also bit excited for whats the outcome on this but I do already that anticipated that this wont be a walk in a park kind of fight for MP and same goes for Barrios as well. Lets hope that there would be no injuries or what specially on that old Pacquiao. Pacman by Decision for 5.40? Wow thats tempting but i would be looking for some knockout on here. For trying out to compare for Mike Tyson then i would say that old man is much better when it comes on maintaining his body but of course we do see Pacquiao do still remain that body build or physique but still you can be able to tell there there's that obvious deterioration and lets see of the speed would be still there and the fire power on which fans will be loving out to see. If he would incase lose this fight then it wont be that a shameful thing and just like been said that he should be that stopping completely before any problem that could possible happen. Lets see if he could be able to pull this out or not.
