Re: What would you do if offline casino refuses to cash out winning?
by
Rockstarguy
on 31/08/2025, 20:23:34 UTC
If such situation happens to you, how would you react? What a person even can do in this situation? Go away with chips? Give chips to someone else and let him cash out? Contact lawyer?
If there is evidence that you followed the rules and didn’t go against any, then you have every right to cash out your money. However, when the casino tries to make no attempt to do so, then suing them and using the law is the only way you can get whatever you want.

But before you sue the casino, you have to be sure they have truly decided not to cash you out, or if it is just a delay that is common with some casinos, because some casinos are fond of delaying gamblers from cashing out their wins.

Re: Excitement in gambling and How to Control Yourself ?
by
Rockstarguy
on 31/08/2025, 19:19:49 UTC
You need that self-discipline to make sure that you will practice whatever you setup before playing, else, you will messed around.
Once excitement is already there, to me, it gives me the thrill and wanting to gamble more. I'm losing my self discipline with that but it knocks me out whenever I start to have a losing streak. It's good on my end that it wakes up whenever I feel that way. Because setting up yourself before you gamble is needed that you'll have your own book and rule to follow. Easy to say sometimes that we can control ourselves but, once you're already on that momentum, I doubt that you'll have that control anymore.
When that understanding is there and you apply discipline, no matter how excited you are, it will never lure you to gamble more. Normally, when you win in gambling, you will surely feel excited; it is a feeling that you can never hide. But for those who don't understand gambling, the excitement can lure one into gambling more because one might feel more wins can be achieved.

Controlling oneself in gambling depends on understanding and discipline; it doesn't really depend on excitement because some people still feel excited about gambling, but they control themselves.

Re: Illusion of control

What really makes a gambler lose? Is it greed? Well it is the illusion of control. Illusion of control leads to continued gambling and the more a gambler plays the more the casinos win, right? As a gambler, you should be able to identify these illusions so you can at least get a hold of yourself.
Normally, in gambling, losing is certain, but in most cases, the reason why a gambler finds it very difficult to control their gambling activities is greed, which can result from a lack of understanding.

 If you don't have an understanding of gambling, you will surely be controlled by it, and it will be very difficult for you to make the right decision. Greed is a bad habit that a gambler should never exhibit, as it will lead to feelings of dissatisfaction with the outcomes of gambling.

Re: Does refusal to play (deprivation) help cure gambling addiction?
by
Rockstarguy
on 30/08/2025, 21:20:12 UTC
And what do you think, does refusal to play (deprivation) contribute to recovery from addiction or is it useless?
Kind of. If you are able to stay away from gambling for some time, it is possible to find a solution to addiction because one may not find gambling that interesting. That is why when you go for counseling to fight addiction, you will be wise not to gamble, because staying away from gambling plays a very important role when it comes to gambling addiction.

Apart from gambling, even when you are addicted to substances, you will be advised to stay away from them. So the same principle applies to gambling addiction: staying away from gambling can be a cure for gambling addiction.

Re: Does being overwhelmed in gambling worth it?
by
Rockstarguy
on 30/08/2025, 19:10:57 UTC
when you’re overwhelmed, that means you’re already letting your emotions control you, and in gambling that’s the fastest way to lose... this isn’t about feelings, it’s about strategy, and once emotions take over, wrong decisions follow.so, don’t let yourself get carried away. Stay sharp, stick to your plan, and keep consistent because that’s the only way you’ll ever last and be profitable in the long run.
If one is becoming overwhelmed with gambling, it means one is not even prepared for it. In gambling, one will need to examine themselves and make good decisions. If you are not prepared for the outcome of gambling, whether you win or lose, then it is very possible to become overwhelmed.

Most gamblers who become overwhelmed with gambling do so because of the mindset they have. Some gamblers go into gambling with overconfidence and high expectations of winning, and when they find it difficult to achieve what they want, they become overwhelmed.

Re: Risks

on 30/08/2025, 18:46:29 UTC
Every investment is risky but the risk differs in all...when it comes to crypto and forex they have their own risks and physical businesses also have theirs as well...making money is all about taking risks, there are people that invested in transporting goods and along the line their trucks got involved in accidents and other hazards leading to a loss of their capital...always be mentally prepared to lose when investing
Everything you put money into always has risk, but it is important for one to be prepared and understand what the risk is. You cannot do without risk, and you can't get rid of it; it is expected that risk can occur in whatever you find yourself doing. So now it is expected to understand what you are getting into because when good knowledge is not there, it increases the risk of losing money.

Knowledge is the principal thing in everything that has to do with money. If the knowledge is not there, that means there will always be challenges and risks that will be difficult to control.

Re: Be grateful for what you have now
by
Rockstarguy
on 30/08/2025, 16:36:31 UTC
The job may not be completely satisfying to us at present, but it is not a game at all. One should definitely respect the position they are in because many may not have been able to reach this position. We often get disappointed with our current position, wishing we could have been in a better position, but we should think about it from this perspective that our current position is saving us from uncertainty. Therefore, we should be grateful for the position we are in at present and should continue to be patient and hardworking to get to a better position. Because patience and hardwork will bring success in life.
The reason why people need to be grateful for what they have is that it is the best they have at the moment, and no one else holds on to it. This is the reason why it shouldn't be looked down upon. But people don't even think about this; they are so interested and focused on how to get a better pay.

For sure, a better job will come, but it is important to appreciate the one you have, and there is no need to worry or feel bad about it because something new will surely come. Sometimes, when we are too disturbed by the job we have at hand, it is difficult to bring out the best from the job because of how one feels about it.

Re: What else have Bitcoin done for you apart from making money

For now Bitcoin have not done anything for me yet, but I strongly believe that soon, it is going to do way more better, and good to me, though I just started the journey and I will never give up till I get the best knowledge and become the very best of myself in this crypto space.
I can do you and you can do it, together we can do it so do not lose hope yet the journey have just begin.
It doesn't need to take you a while to acquire basic knowledge about Bitcoin. What you need to understand is the volatility of Bitcoin, the concept of wallets, security in wallets, and how to keep your private key safe. With this basic knowledge, you can start investing in Bitcoin with an amount that you can afford to lose.

Inflation is on the rise, and it is affecting those who depend on fixed savings. You can start investing in Bitcoin with an amount that you can afford. The only thing that might delay your investment in Bitcoin should be financial constraints, such as no income. You can start doing your best to address this because income is the most important factor to kickstart your journey with Bitcoin.

Re: Bitcoin investment failed
by

on 29/08/2025, 22:03:36 UTC
You are not the only person who regrets not being able to hold on to Bitcoin early. I also had a good amount of Bitcoin at one time but I couldn't hold on to it. It is natural to regret that time. I knew a lot about early Bitcoin and I transacted a good amount of Bitcoin but at that time I didn't think about 2025 or 2030 what the value of Bitcoin would be at that time. I sold them according to the value of Bitcoin at that time and spent it in various ways. When I think back on those fucking days, I get very angry with myself. If I had the Bitcoins I had then, that amount of money would have changed my entire life and I could have spent the rest of my life in retirement from now on.
Many people took Bitcoin for granted because they never knew it would be this valuable, and it is nobody's fault because when something is new, it won't be taken very seriously. Even after a decade of Bitcoin's existence, many people were still not sure about it; whenever Bitcoin is in a bear market, people always feel that it is the end of Bitcoin.

 Since I didn't take Bitcoin investment seriously during the early days, I won't bother myself because, in life, these things happen. The most important thing is that Bitcoin still exists, and I can still benefit from it. If the potential of Bitcoin were only for those early investors, then this would be a time to regret; but as Bitcoin is still beneficial to everyone, the best thing is to invest an amount of Bitcoin that you can afford.

Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL!

⭐ Merited by JayJuanGee (1)
There is no need thinking about the dip, if you are on your regular DCA purchase because that will make you not miss out any opportunity in the market. It's people that are waiting for bitcoin to dip to their preferred price before buying that are losing out. There is nothing to adjust as a regular DCA weekly investor because it's your discretionary income that will determine how much bitcoin that you will purchase. Also it doesn't matter what price bitcoin is or will be just keep on stacking to avoid limiting your bitcoin quantity in the long run.
Those who normally use the DCA method to invest in Bitcoin don't need to be told to buy Bitcoin during a dip because it is an opportunity they wouldn't want to miss. DCA investors buy Bitcoin at all times, irrespective of the price of Bitcoin.
As for those who are fond of waiting for the dip to buy Bitcoin, I see them as non-serious because even if the dip takes place, they still become confused about it, thinking it is not yet the dip they need to buy Bitcoin. Real Bitcoin investors just invest continuously as long as the money is available.

Re: Money is hard to get ,but easy to spend.

Man is faced with so many responsibilities with a little income. Hardship is everywhere due to high level of inflation. Human needs are never satisfied which is the reason why money vanishes from our hands when we don't have enough and lack cash inflow management. This is why it's important to invest for the future and cut down careless expenses. You have to render a service to get paid.
Another thing to also know is that money is scarce and this is what makes money to have quality.  It is not easy to have money,  by the time you are opportune to have a small amount of it their are so much problem waiting for you to spend the money. 

Money is a problem solver because everything you need in this life you need money to get them, we don't need to expect to easily get money and if money is not scarce it won't have any value because we all have it without any stress.

When I saw this it really motivated my spirit, if you are working and your salary is not enough for you to accumulate Bitcoin you can fine a side hustle and be making money from it and then using the money to accumulate Bitcoin you never can tell how far you will go if you are determine and consistent for some years and like you know Bitcoin can change your life for good.
This is a call to everyone who's salary is not enough to accumulate Bitcoin fine a side hustle.
There is dignity in labor don't be shy when doing any side hustle that will be easy for you because you will reap the good from your hustle in the future.
This is very good. If investing in Bitcoin or accumulating it is a problem, then the best thing to do is to focus on having more sources of income, which can allow one to easily invest in and accumulate Bitcoin without any stress. I think this is a good idea for those who understand Bitcoin. It shows a good level of understanding compared to people who invest in Bitcoin but expect to make quick money from the little they have invested.

It takes an understanding of increases for one to see the importance of accumulating Bitcoin and working on their income to achieve productive results in the future. Having a better income is the first step a good investor takes because of the concern they have about their investments.

Re: Is it important to gamble even when you know your win are not guaranteed .
by
Rockstarguy
on 26/08/2025, 14:32:42 UTC
I don't understand why anyone would participate in gambling if the prize is not guaranteed. But that's what the cameras want. After all, what's the point of promising someone a prize if you can say there is a chance to win a prize? And then everyone will participate, even if most of them end up without a prize.
It is not guaranteed because it is a game, and in games, we either win or lose. Gambling is a game of luck that can't be predicted. Gambling is always a game that is not certain, so I advise gamblers to wager only the amount they can afford to lose because gambling a large amount does not make winning easier or guarantee success. This is a game that gamblers need to understand very well; most people who don't understand gambling often do it the wrong way, such as poor bankroll management and seeing gambling as a hustle to make money. It is never guaranteed—just play and take your leave.

Re: Bankroll management is not a strategy.
by
Rockstarguy
on 26/08/2025, 13:42:24 UTC
Do you agree with me? Or do you think that bankroll management is a strategy?
Bankroll management is not a strategy, but it is a very important tool that every gambler needs to have a healthy gambling experience, and it doesn't guarantee a win. Having bankroll management is the first thing that is required from a gambler because when it is not present, the gambler is finished.

 As a gambler, you need everything to succeed, and you can't do without one of the components that are part of gambling. Just imagine a gambler who has a good gambling strategy but no effective bankroll management; it will really be a big problem. We need both bankroll management and strategy because they both play a vital role when it comes to gambling.

Some adults will not know when they stopped enjoying gambling to become addicted. They are adults they should know better, they should not become addicts but gambling company owners have a responsibility to protect children and gambling addict adults from harm. There is no best way to gamble.
Minors must stay away from gambling, I will not allow them to gamble in any way, the only job of minors is to educate themselves through proper education, they do not need any money now, so they should stay away from gambling completely. At this time, if they need entertainment, they will play physical games, they have no rational reason to gamble, so especially minors must stay away from it, and for this, their guardians should keep a close eye on their children.
Most times what makes minors get into gambling is because of the environment they found themselves and the kind of peer pressure they associate with. It is very dangerous for minors to gamble because it is very addictive to them. Every minor that know about gambling want ti make quick money because they think it is in gambling money can be made,  and they end up going the wrong way just to gamble to make money.  Gambling is not healthy for minors because of how most minors understand gambling.

Re: Skill or educational certificate

on 25/08/2025, 17:39:57 UTC
I have seen many people saying they'll love the two, I think i won't be left behind on this but if I have only one option among the two I will choose skills and I have my reasons for that, am from a country where your educational certificate doesn't guarantee you automatic employment but if I have skill I might even be safe employed and there are many companies that prefer skilled worker persons so I might also get employed and maybe sponsor my education later, it only requires me to work hard and always remain focused, although i must be sincere If I must accept skills, I must have gone through the basic education which is primary to atleast secondary level then i can train myself in the university if I start getting money from the skill I learnt.
I know having a certificate does not guarantee a good job, but I think it is important for one to have both. The reason I say so is that sometimes life is unpredictable. Despite there being no good jobs at this time, people are getting new and good jobs every day. In life, opportunities can come your way when you least expect them. It is possible to meet someone who can offer you a very good job, and all you need to get this job is just a certificate.

Just imagine if the certificate is not there; you have just missed a lifetime opportunity that you may not find again in life. Just have both the certificate and the skills, and be prepared for life because anything can happen. People come across opportunities by meeting those who can provide what they think is so difficult to obtain in life.

Re: Password Managers Vulnerability

The online world is getting scary everyday as other players are data mining ⛏️ to sell our data on the black market for pennies...

And the unfortunate part is many of us are lazy and won't adjust even with all these warnings, time to act is now.. like they say, old is gold, time to write down these passwords on paper where you are guaranteed that it's only you having access to it but the only thing that will be a threat to this is water, fire and physical access from an intruder.
Having your password written on a sheet is the best option because you can store it in a way that no one will know about. However, saving it online means that your group of companies is just helping you store the password. Some might think that a key manager or another storage app is the best and most secure way to store passwords, but you need to ask yourself some questions about these apps.

How sure are you that these apps are secure, and who are the brains behind these storage managers? Can they be trusted? These are questions we need to ask ourselves about these storage assistants. Every individual has their own version for storing passwords, and no one else can do it for you. Putting it out there is very risky, and it is not secure.

Re: How many hours do you play in slots?
by
Rockstarguy
on 25/08/2025, 16:21:10 UTC
For me, I sometimes play for hours and really enjoy the game, but there are times when my eyes start to hurt, especially when I’m watching with so much excitement. It feels like it’s not healthy anymore. What advice would you give to those who can relate to my experience?
When I have a good feeling in slot games I gamble for a little longer because I think I have a chance of winning at that time. But I also know that this attitude is not always positive. But usually when I play if I place small bets I have a chance of playing for a long time but when I place big bets I have a chance of losing more. From my experience I will say now that if you are able to go away quickly then you can make profit. I have seen many times that the chances of losing are higher if you gamble for a long time.
The truth is that the time factor doesn't really guarantee winning, and considering how long one should even gamble is risky. There is a high chance of losing more, which can lead to addiction. What we should be talking about is not even the longevity of the game, but rather whether it is an amount that we can afford to lose.

Slot games are very risky, and if you are not conscious, you may end up exceeding the limit that you can afford to lose. Trying to achieve a better win shouldn't be a reason for a gambler to increase the time spent playing slot games.

Chelsea is back on their feet but it doesnt mean that it won't be challenging for them, even with their victory against new castle they are currently at that third position on the league table. That epl is going to be very tough this season. They have Tottenham and arsenal to compete with. About palmer, he might not be a hundred percent right now, it is normal even for the best players to go through such phases

They won west ham. The thing is  that Chelsea and most Premier League teams are unpredictable this period and just like the way they struggled in winning their first game against crystal palace they could still be in a position like that probably in their next game soi think i wont say anything about Chelsea or any other team till they actually get to like match day 5 which can be said to be enough playing time and intro for the new players that signed and also for the new club that gained promotion to the top tier of English football.
It's too early to tell if any team is back to good performance or not. It is impressive to see Chelsea performing well as the season begins, but Chelsea has always been known as a team that is unstable.

 I just need Chelsea to go through a series of games first before I conclude about their performance this season. It will be a great achievement for Chelsea to improve their game this season because it is embarrassing for them to continue with this same unstable performance.

on 25/08/2025, 14:05:14 UTC
It's not a question of age in my opinion, both young and old can get trapped in gambling, in my opinion it's a question of education and social background.
If you think a game can give you a living, you're very wrong, because this is very difficult and almost never happens.
Does anyone still think that gambling can make a living? There are probably such people, but there are not that many of them. As soon as you start losing, some awareness and understanding of the real situation comes. To tell the truth, I myself was too naive a player and thought that I could change my life for the better financially, but everything happened exactly the opposite.
It is only a few gamblers who allow their losses in gambling to make them understand they need to take corrective actions in the way they gamble. Some gamblers, even with their losses, do not care about it; they keep gambling and chase their losses, believing that they can be recovered.
 It takes understanding for a gambler to reduce their limit in gambling after losing so much. Most gamblers don't even care about their losses because they believe there will be a win that can recover all that they have lost.
