Re: Should gambling ads be normalized?

There's no way it should be normalized when it is going to have some negative implications to the younger people who are also watching the games. These TV channels are paid handsomely for those ads and to see the worse side of it, they display the ads within just a short frame of times simultaneously and you might not even enjoy the game because of how ads continuously interrupts the it. I wouldn't want this to be normalized.
Since children will also be in the stadium,  gambling ads should be regulated. They can decide to have a section where children will sit and will not be exposed to the gambling promotions. With the popularity of online gambling monitoring children is now very difficult.  So we should set some boundaries that will shield the next generation.
I don't see how this is being possible. As far as I know, it is not possible to separate kids or children from adult an be in a place where they can't have a view of gambling ads. Although it may be done but if it's easy as we think why haven't they attempt to try it out for a long time now. But rather this ads are being displayed everywhere even where children are not sopos to view. The fact is that if this boundaries has been set, does it mean those children will be in that premises forever, No. Certainly they will move from one location to another. For example if I'm the stadium children are kept in a separate place to avoid being exposed to Gambling ads, what if after leaving the stadium does it mean they can't have a view from bill board, from watching TV at home or from Gambling ads on the mobile device? So if you ask me I will say those idea about separating kids doesn't change anything.

is the failure of casinos has got to do with too much accessibility therefore not generating any more excitement? or is sports betting just the new trend which is where the new generations flock towards to? are you still team casino or team sports betting?
Maybe sport bet is a new trend for them. Sometimes people usually try new things from the original ones they do before. Even to me sport betting is more preferable to casino games. The possibility to win in casino is indeed slim compeard to the opportunity of sport betting. Sport betting is easily predictable to casino game from my own understanding, and This checkmate may be the reason why they switched. Aside this advantages of this sport betting over casino, I don't see any other reason why they decided to switch.

Re: Bankroll management is not a strategy.

Bankroll management is just a way to manage your bankroll to be sustainable for a long term. Most times if people don't manage their bankroll very well they often lose it too soon than expected and it leeds to taking loan or sorting for additional bankroll. And this will prompt such a person to still fund his betting app with the money proposed for other important things, And this could be spent again so on a norms bankroll management is not supposed to be a strategy but just a normal fund management except for someone who doesn't understand English very well that will think that both are thesame.

So how do you see this kind of lifestyle? Do you judge them as wrong because their reason is gambling, or do you respect it since everyone has their own way of finding happiness?
i cant judge them wrong since they find happiness in what they are doing. after all if they can be working hard and gambling at the same time without getting addicted then there is no big deal. the lifestyle is just a responsible lifestyle if you ask me, it would have been a wrong lifestyle if they are gambling addict who work and fuel their losses.

Re: Bitcoin will enter $130k by August.
by
Pi-network314159
on 24/08/2025, 14:43:59 UTC
We saw the Bitcoin price increase the most last July, and it created a new ATH, where the Bitcoin price entered $123k, the highest in Bitcoin history. We then saw a big drop in Bitcoin where the Bitcoin price came down from $123k to $112k, although the market has entered a little higher at the moment and is currently at $114k.
So I guess that maybe the Bitcoin price is more likely to enter $130k by this August, what are your thoughts?
actually i though we could see $130k by the end of august but with the look of things we may not see that price by the end of this august, because we barely have few day to go and bitcoin is lingering within $114 - $115k, maybe it might be achievable by next month September. although bitcoin is unpredictable which means it may rise above this level within the remaining few days but i doubt if that is possible to meet up the $130k speculation.

That should be true, but I think some investors who intend to hold Bitcoin in the long term also often look at Bitcoin price movements to be able to enter at the lowest price to get the best price so they can accumulate more Bitcoin and I think that's not wrong even though an investor also uses the DCA strategy to accumulate Bitcoin, but sometimes when the price correction is very deep, someone will change the strategy so that they can be more profitable by buying Bitcoin in larger quantities than usual.
Those who want to hold Bitcoin for the long term never look at the price. They always look at how quickly they can enrich their Bitcoin portfolio. Because they always think that the price of Bitcoin today may not be the same tomorrow. They never calculate daily profit/loss, weekly profit/loss or monthly profit/loss in this way. Their goal is long-term. They think about where they want to be in Bitcoin after 10 years, 15 years or 20 years. Today the price of Bitcoin is $115,000, if tomorrow this price drops to $100,000, then they never regret their previous purchase, but rather they choose this as a buying opportunity because the price is currently falling and they buy as aggressively as possible and increase their Bitcoin portfolio. Because they have confidence in Bitcoin, they have understood that no matter what the price of Bitcoin is today, in the long term, i.e. after 10 years, 15 years or 20 years, its price will be several times higher than its current value.
Therefore, investors who are confident in Bitcoin, i.e. Bitcoin real investors, never look at the price of Bitcoin, but when they have a reasonable income to invest in Bitcoin, they invest in Bitcoin with it. And if the price drops, they take it as an opportunity to buy, if possible, and if they have a separate fund to buy aggressively, they invest at that moment.
I think it is wrong to say that  long term holders are always looking for ways to quickly enrich there portfolio. It is mostly those with short term motive , that is those that wants to make quick profit that thinks they can be able to enrich there portfolio within a short time and  then cash out or start taking profit from there investment.
Long term holders understand the importance of consistency as regards building a better portfolio in bitcoin. Trying to enrich one portfolio quickly is majorly the behaviour or attributes of short term holders or traders
well i think bluedrem has already made a decent point here with lots of information and i agree with him. @proty i want you to understand that there is a different between " ways to quickly enrich there portfolio" and " making/taking quick profit"

1 ways to quickly enrich portfolio: in a simple term can simply mean way to increase your bitcoin investment. it is not wrong for an investor to look for ways to quickly enrich his portfolio. looking for way to quickly enrich ones portfolio can also be considered an aggressive form of investment and not being overly aggressive. this statement does not in any way relate or mean that such person is a trader or want to take profit. it is just an act of increasing ones portfolio by accumulating as much as possible as one can within his discretion.

2 taking quick profit: can simply mean taking profit from your investment to quickly, its as simple as that. although that is the characteristics of a trader, but you are trying to contradict the both, making one to look like another.

Re: Do you think betting companies wants you addicted?

on 23/08/2025, 04:46:41 UTC
This post was inspired by a thread I saw on the social media platform X which says that betting companies are not your friend, their apps are designed to keep you broke and addiected". Well that's his opinion but left for me I don't support that statement cause those companies are not illegal, and they don't force customers to patronize them, moreover if they want you broke they won't advise you to gamble responsibly. Also, gambling is a game of luck and if every gambler acknowledge that and avoid being too greedy, then gamble in a responsible way, I don't think they'll go broke or get addicted. What's your opinion, do you support his statement?
I see your friends point as a valid one despite you chose not to agree with him but that doesn't change any fact that gambling site want people to get addicted. They may appear nice and decent preaching to you to gamble responsibly and you feel because they have a good customer relationship or you think since they don't force you into it that they are innocent, well they need you to lose for them toake their money. If you don't lose they can never make money so now of which help are they rendition to those who got addicted if they so much care about their customers?

Re: Drinking vs Gambling

on 23/08/2025, 04:27:34 UTC
Why can't we just do the same with gambling? Alcohol consumption is extremely risky not only to the person consuming it but to the people around him. There have been so many cases of crimes due to alcohol consumption. Many people's health destroyed. So what makes it ok for alcohol ads to continue in public but not gambling?
For me I don see any different between both, both are usually promoted and not one  ads is above the other but it is just unfortunate that gambling warning tends to be more serious than alcohol.butbi see it that people lose more money in gambling than betting. A drunkard may spen some bucks like $20 and got high and go back home, that is the end of his spending on that particular day because he may not take above what he has taken, but in gambling, a Gambler may never be satisfied with his win or lose he may keep losing and keep playing and chasing his loses till all his fun both in his gambling app and his bank is finished before he can leave and also he may be winning and keep playing to win more untill he becomes victimized.

I know of someone who is so addicted in gambling.who spend his time and all his money in gambling.
Which he is finding difficult to stop or control, irrespective of the consequences that surrounds it, such as relationship issues,lack of finance and emotional breakdown,many people go through so many risks just to be able to fund that lifestyle and majority of them are using gambling as there day to day activities (they make it their job) this set of people or person can loss friends, family and relationship.
Because all there focuses are on gambling, when you come across this kind of people. "all you need is to counsel them" because it's beneficial

Well counseling an addicted Gambler who has stay away from his friends an relatives plus loved ones can be quite challenging, you might be placed on an ignore list as others who tried to council him or he might find it offensive and pick a fight with you since all advice at that point in time is like a poison to his system. But however such people can not be abandoned if they are your close relatives. You can only do your best but if he doesn't appreciate it then you back of and focus on your own personal life.

First, I don't see or consider gambling a good or reliable source of income and I don't support anyone who says or think otherwise because everyone has a choice they have made to live on. I was considering gambling and sports betting a good short cut to make quick money and become rich but after the experience I have got over the year, I don't even advise anyone to go with such belief.
Exactly, I once have that thought that gambling could be a lucrative business if I could only make some random selection that is sure and place a huge amount, that I may boom and I will repeat same process over and over again until I became a millionaire but yo my greatest surprise all those where just fantasy that may never come into reality. Instead of wining I keep losing even the least odd like 1.5 to bet with $50 to get $75 was even a No go area. So gambling can never be taken as business because if lose continuously like 5 to 10 time theoney you planned to have used to become a millionaire will all be Lost or sinked inside the betting casino.

What title says,

unless one is well off himself one should not be having kids, this is my opinion.

What about you?
Kids are very much important as we need them but the bad side of it is that withoutl proper planing  you might feel regretful due to not being financial bouyant before going into marriage and such person may cast the blame on the child or the wife as a reason for his misfortune. I have come across several situation where married people fight over husband not having enough money to Carter for the family. On a norms marriage or kid was sopos to be a good  thing or blessing but it turns to worst nightmare. So we need proper planing before getting married or having our kid since the economic system is hard.

Re: Earning salary or owning a business which is better

on 22/08/2025, 23:32:57 UTC
Salary earners end up spending their salary buying from the business owners making the business owners to get profit from the business while the salary earners end up with nothing.
Both are important, the business man or woman needs to do a job that will generate capital that will be used to start up a business. There is no business person that didn't get their Capital from a place of work or the other. Owning a business is more profitable that salary job but if the salary is lucrative, it might solve a lot of problem that business money can not doThe here come the stage where people become confused wether to start business or just continue with salary work
The only problem is that most salary earners are so addicted to their salary to an extent they forget to to use their money to start up a business.

A well managed business is better than a salary job, in the other hands a life time job can be better than some business that will crash within some week. Because staring business is not the problem but maintaining it is the problem

What are easy and trustworthy options and tips?
I guess you are being funny here, I think you should have known this better by now. You have been around the forum quite some time now and you may have come across those post talking about buying of Bitcoin  and all that, including the right wallet to store Bitcoin perhaps you just want attention that's what I can only say. The answer you requested has been given to you even though you already know them and his in pretence. But if you insist I can only tell you to buy Bitcoin from any of the exchange like bitget or bybit and send to your non custodial wallet like trust wallet, electrum wallet, meta mask etc. where it can kept for a long time. And make sure you seed is intact with you because there is a slogan that says not your key not your coin.

The purpose of investing in Bitcoin should be changed, we should consider the current decline in Bitcoin as an opportunity. The price of Bitcoin is relatively low in the current market. Those who are doing DCA will benefit the most from this market. And those who are waiting for the dip are expecting temporary gains, with little chance of increasing their holdings in the long term. Those who decide to buy Bitcoin after the price of Bitcoin drops below 100k are investing based on luck, while those who are doing DCA are consistently moving towards the implementation of the goal. Who wants to see themselves at what level will depend entirely on themselves.
This is a good time for DCA investors in particular to buy at low prices. I think it is a good idea to be aggressive during this time if you can afford it. But it should be within your means, nothing in excess is good. So try to use this time wisely and plan for the long term. I am not saying anything for short term investors here, if they are expecting big profits then they should definitely accustom themselves to long term planning.
Well in as much as DCA is one of Best strategy to buy Bitcoin does not mean it should be replaced for an opportunity to buy the dip. Currently this is the best time to buy the dip. any investor that has enough discretion fund should just buy the Dip while on the process should adopt the method of DCA since no strategy should be left behind as all works together for the growth of our portfolio.. this opportunity will help an investor to stackup more Bitcoin stash to his wallet and it will help you build a sizable wallet in the long run.

But I am uptimistic that Bitcoin will recover soon since we are still on the bull.

Hi guys, I have something to share with all of you, gambling is a way to get extra funds based on your capability to predict, but Without the right strategy, gambling can be frustrating I've tried turning $20 into $700, it might sound fun until your funds vanishes in less than 10 minutes. Many gamblers fall victims to this because they lack the strategy to play, they end up frustrated and chasing losses and depositing again and again. We need to adopt Risk management, let's gamble with another mindset stating with a decent amount of funds, aim for smaller wins maybe (10-20%) and walk away happy. Don't let greed eat you up
[/quote
That's true, gambling is a way of getting extra fund base on our ability to predict, but of course turning $20 to $700 is a very difficult task, it's really sound funny. One important thing about gambling is that you wouldn't know the kind or type of game you would play that will give you that kind of money. This means that if you want it intentionaly you may not win anything but if you gamble for fun and allow nature do it think then it's possible to win upto $700 from $20

Re: THE POOR RISKS LITTLE TO WIN BIG WHILE THE RICH RICKS BIG TO WIN LITTLE
by
Pi-network314159
on 20/08/2025, 22:50:54 UTC
This makes gamble a game of luck to the poor and a game of strategy to the rich.

Ex:
RICH ($10,000 * 1.10 odds) = $11,000
POOR ($5 * 1000 odds) = $5,000 

With this you can see that the chances of the Rich winning is very high up to 90% while the Poor only have 10% chance of winning which now is based on luck!
This makes me think about the saying that goes by "THE RICH IS GETTING RICHER WHILE THE POOR IS GETTING POORER"
The get rich quick mentality is killing the poor.
and who told you this maths works in gambling? for your information there is a high tendency to lose in whichever way you chose to gamble. the theory should be the rich are getting poor while the poor are getting poorer, because i this space the poor stake lesser amount and if they lose , they lose the amount are comfortable with, but if the rich lose they lose heavily trying to chase peanut. for instant if a rich man gambled $20k with just 2 odds and it cuts, it means that such person had just loosed $20k. so when next you make your analysis try as much as possible to include the risk involved not only the profit, since the rich have a high chance of lose than the poor.
