Re: Drinking vs Gambling

It will keep increasing, this time is different the parenting has also changed, parents has lost control over their kids, the teachers and religion has also lost their place in moral and value justification. Everything is now online, children learn all they need from the internet, the gambling sites are also increased and they are making ads all over the media. children are getting involved daily. 

Peers group influences drinking and drugs, We must be mindful of the friends we keep, do not keep a friend who is into drugs, the possibility  for you to do drugs is very high, the best way to avoid addiction is never to involve yourself, because once you are in its very hard to come out.  Drinking and Gambling are the latest addiction among children these days.
Actually, there is a saying "A man is known by the company he keeps". Just like that, your friends or the people you hang out with will definitely become like them at the end of the day. Here, if you hang out with religious people, then you will definitely be among the religious people. If you hang out with drug addicts and gamblers, then you will definitely be like them.

And yes, today's children want more freedom, they don't want to listen to their parents. And now the system in our country has become such that if teachers now beat children, then the guardians of the children scold the teachers.

Can you also add the option to count the same numbers if we select any text on screen, and then show them in menu or popup if we select the text and right click on it?
Thanks for the suggestion. It sounds interesting to hear. I will try to add this feature in my free time.

I am also using dark theme in my browser and I can't see any text because background is very similar color like text.
I guess I could just manually change the colors in code if you tell me exact location, but it would be better to have the option to select alternative light or dark text.
Yes of course you can. You just need to change the following two line from  the script.

Code:
counter.style.color = '#333';
counter.style.color = 'gray';

And what you will write after finding them out.

Code:
counter.style.color = 'red';
counter.style.color = 'red';
You can add the color you want here if you want. You can put blue in place of red if you want. If the color name does not change, just google it and find out the hex code of that color.

You think that watching a couple matches, or even couple hundred matches gives you analytic skills?  Cheesy Your analysis skill after watching 1000 matches is closer to 0 than it is to 1. What kind of delusions gamblers tell themselves are amazing.
Bro, at least in the first instance, it is better to watch matches than to waste time in the casino. Whether it is a few matches, your skills will gradually increase, even if you want, you will not be able to increase your analytical skills in two days. Moreover, you will not sit and watch the game anymore, you will definitely try to know about the previous history.

Here, of course, I would tell him to watch the match well first. Because watching more and more matches will increase your experience, and the more games you watch, the more your analysis skills will increase. This means that you can predict in advance which team is likely to win next, because you have seen their previous games.
Actually, I have mentioned a few matches here for example. It seems to be for comparison with the casino.

If someone who is not that knowledgeable about sports and gambling but wants to do sports betting, what would you recommend for him to start learning first? Do you advise him to go and watch sport matches and learn how it goes first or go to online casinos and learn about sports betting? Will he someone with sports knowledge be more profitable in sports betting or will someone with gambling experience come out on top?
Here, of course, I would tell him to watch the match well first. Because watching more and more matches will increase your experience, and the more games you watch, the more your analysis skills will increase.

But I don't think playing casino will increase anyone's skills, because the casino is completely controlled by computers or programs. Playing it will not increase your skills, it is completely dependent on your luck. So I think if it is sports betting, then watching the match and analyzing it will definitely come first.

Re: gambling and divorce

Definitely, excessive gambling always results in problems in the family or marriage. It causes too many expenses on gambling, making one neglect to make sure they take good care of their family. It results in financial recklessness as one would not be accountable for every dime that enters their hand, no savings, no investment, no plan, all they have or get goes into gambling, and this is what destroys marriages, where the wife would want a divorce because the person they married is no longer the person he used to be. Sometimes, excesses need to be curtailed to avoid addiction because if measures are not put in place, it would be disastrous in the end.
You are right, it is not always that gambling is the problem, rather when it gets run out of control and out of proportion that all begins to go wrong. The problem is that the majority of people do not realise that they have crossed the line and only after the fact. I have seen some families just fall apart because one individual was unable to quit the pursuit of losses. Balance and lack of self-control is the true issue. When one has strict boundaries and actually adheres to them, gambling can remain a mere form of entertainment, however, when it takes the place of responsibility, it destroys lives.

Re: How many hours do you play in slots?

When a person starts making small profits by betting on small bets, greed arises in his mind and he thinks that since he is winning, he should bet a big amount and if he wins the bet, he will be able to win a lot of money at once. From this thinking, a person starts from small to big bets and in most cases it is seen that if he loses the money he has bet on, then he faces big problems. To be honest, gambling is a matter where it is very difficult to control himself. If a person can control himself while gambling, then he can actually earn a good amount of money even while gambling.
Yes, the algorithms of casinos or gambling sites are built like this. The most important thing for them is your time. And the more time you spend on those sites, the more addicted you will become.

That's why you will see that when you open a new account they increase your winning rate (personally I think), and when you start betting more amounts, they may reduce the winning rate. I am talking about casinos. And if it is sports betting, then that is a different matter.

Re: The two most important properties of Bitcoin
by
Royal Cap
on 08/09/2025, 16:08:57 UTC
I think you mean Bitcoin is portable, whereas Gold is not. That's one of the key advantages of Bitcoin. You can store it within the smallest medium possible, hidden in plain sight. Millions, if not, billions of dollars can be moved anywhere in a safe and discreet way. You can't do that with Gold. Carrying bulky bars and/or Gold coins will bring unwanted attention.

Not only Bitcoin is portable, but its supply is predictable too. No one knows how much Gold is in existence, but everybody knows there will only be 21m Bitcoins. This predictability should make BTC even scarcer and more desirable than Gold. With "Wall Street" quickly flocking to Bitcoin, you can see what the craze is all about. I'd keep buying BTC regardless of price to build true, generational wealth.
Yeah, portability and predictable supply are huge benefits to Bitcoin. Compared to gold, which must be stored in the case and carried around very carefully, Bitcoin allows you to carry millions of dollars in a wallet where no one can notice. History has demonstrated that gold has a long term value and that Bitcoin has a fixed 21 million limit that makes it a special digital asset. 

I think a mixture of both will serve to diversify various risks digital to be flexible, gold to be stable. Only one thing to remember, security is paramount, a lost seed phrase is lost forever.

When playing any casino game it's important that you always focus on staking low and aiming to win high amounts, although the chances of winning might be low but the most important thing is that you are reducing the risks involved...staking high doesn't really mean that winning is guaranteed, some people stake a high amount of money aiming for a low multiplier and still end up losing.
That's true, staking low allows you to have more opportunities to play and eliminates the pressure of huge losses. I have seen people lose huge amounts of money just trying to chase quick wins with huge stakes, it rarely ends well. Point of gambling should be fun and control, not a risk of risking all at once. Winning big is always possible, but key is your patience and knowing when to stop.

Re: man up and stop blaming casinos

Gambling  with the money you can afford to loose sometimes does not keep you safe even because you keep gambling  with those chunks to a point  you later understand  that it has accumulated into becoming  a huge sum and then you may want to start chasing loss seeing that you have lost a huge sum from the accumulation of the little chunks you had lost. Onr thing I think if gambling is rather than gambling with the amount you can afford to losoe and eventually get addicted, why not gamble on a budget and set limits with time frame to regulate your habits.
Actually, brother, gambling is something that no one who is not addicted to it will understand its pain. In my opinion, the best advice would be that whenever you lose, you should quit the game. Because if you start playing again to recover your losses after a loss. Then you will lose even more.

The best advice is that after losing, withdraw all the money in your account. And if you limit your gambling budget, I think it will gradually not be limited to the limit.

Re: Team's Failure, who is Responsible?

Team's Failure, who is Responsible?

This is the question we should always ask ourselves in gambling whenever we are are playing bets, then discovered that the team we supported in sport bets for instance does not perform as we expected in their match.

Who do we often often blame to be responsible for the failure to deliver, is it the coach or the players, because the two plays the most important roles towards the performance of a team in winning or loosing a match play, so let's discuss about who's responsible and should receive the blame.
I think it's dependent on the situation. Sometimes it's the coach setting bad tactics and the entire team performance is off, other times it's the players who just don't deliver even when the plan is correct. But in betting, it doesn't matter much who you think is to blame because the result isn't in our hands anyway. The smarter thing to do is accept the fact that surprises do occur in sports and only gamble what you can afford to lose.

Re: Is Gambling Affect Education/Studies?

Due to the age we are in there are some things that are being normalized which is okay actually but they have lots of downsides and one of them is giving kids access to mobile phones and other types of gadgets, this makes them open to explore certain things...as a parent if you decide to give your kid a phone or laptop do your best to make sure that some things would be inaccessible for that childs own good

Children should be allowed to be children hence there are somethings we shouldn't allow them have access to. You can restrict some applications and website that are harmful to them. Gambling can affect our studies because we can get addicted and starts making decisions that'll make us to lose money instead of making more money. If we're still students we shouldn't be gambling but focus on achieving educational success. After that then we can get a job that'll help bring money for us and then gambling can be done for fun. It won't be easy to be gambling for fun without making any profits but you won't be angry when you're having money being made from other things that you're doing.
You will be surprised to hear this, I have seen many school children here playing online casinos. And they also talk to each other about who won how much. Yes, although they have no source of income, their main source of income is their pocket money.

But here losing is not a big deal, the big deal is that it is slowly becoming a habit for them. And in the future when they do not have money to gamble, they may get involved in some crime.
And yes, but gambling for fun with your own earned money is a different matter.

Manual withdrawals aren't a big problem if you don't need the money urgently. I waited 2 to 3 hours for my first withdrawal. The money arrived without any issues as USDT in Solana chain. Of course instant withdrawals would be better. Perhaps they could offer this for accounts with high wagers and top-level security. Processing all withdrawals manually also requires a lot of manpower.
I think it would be better for both the casino site and the user if things were automated for small account withdrawals. But for large withdrawals, they should definitely be checked manually.
I used to think that all withdrawals on casino sites are automated, but I only found out later by googling. Small withdrawals are automated and large withdrawals are checked manually.  Grin
But as they are becoming more popular, hopefully they will make small withdrawals automated.

Re: Re-download bitcoin core?

You can backup your datadir to an external drive so that when you reinstall Windows 10, you can simply reinstall the Bitcoin Core program and copy the datadir back to your internal drive.
Since your node is pruned, it should even fit inside a USB stick, so I don't think you will have to go out and buy any additional hardware.
How did Windows 11 decrease the lifespan of your SSD though? I am confused about that.
Well, should I just backup the data directory? I have 2 directories here, one is the Bitcoin core directory and the other is the data (I think the nodes are downloaded there) directory.

What I want to add is that in mid-October Win10 will go out of support and then you may want to upgrade again. Plus, I would give more attention/research on what could have caused your SSD issues and your lag, just blaming it on Win11 makes no sense to me. So you may want to reconsider this "going back to Win10". I am telling this because I find your "solution" a wasted effort: I expect you'll go to Win11 soon.
Of course, it was just an advice; you do as you think it fits, it's your hardware and your time.
Actually, I saw many posts on Facebook about SSD corruption. Many people say that their PCs have turned off while playing games. Also many people say their ssd crashed even, while PCs shutdown. So from there, I assumed that this is a problem with the Windows 11 update. Actually, this problem mainly occurs when transferring files over 50 GB. Since I downloaded the Bitcoin core, which is about 600 GB, this may be the reason for the problem. So I am planning to go back to Windows 10.

I bought a new notebook with Windows 11 installed. I tried it for two days, and got rid of it. I installed Ubuntu on the drive, and it is much faster and easier to use for my purposes. Copilot and cloud storage, together with all the spyware and vulnerabilities make Microsoft products a non-starter for me.

Yes, I am also thinking of switching to Linux, I have also tried Linux Mint before, but the problem is that I do not like using Linux because I have been a Windows user for a long time. And there is no such support for games in Linux, and there are also problems with Adobe products. But i know Linux is open source and best for security .So  I am thinking of switching to Windows 10 for a few days.

You are right, but it has little to do with naked laziness and more with seeking immediate gratification. After trying gambling and having a taste of easy money, ordinary labour becomes too slow and boring.
That is why despite actual employment prospects, so many of them slip back into that rut. The bitter reality is that nothing changes until they realise that gambling is not a short cut, but a trap.

Re: Government banning of casinos are at their own loss.
by
Royal Cap
on 07/09/2025, 07:07:39 UTC
There are modern better ways to fight gambling addiction such as which I have proposed in my opinion:
> Regularly educating your citizens on national TV programmes about the negatives of compulsive gambling. You can be sponsoring these programmes through the revenues accrued from taxes paid by these gambling companies. Or these companies could as well partner with initiatives and sponsor it.

> Provide skills acquisitions programmes and avenues of adequate job opportunities, because a lot of young people trooping into gambling are doing so as a result of a lack of sustainable means of income which makes them to see gambling is the all embracing means to make money.

I don't think the government can stop gambling even if it wants to. Currently, when I go to social media, I only see gambling ads. Although gambling is completely banned in our country. And a few days ago, I heard that there is a rule in our country that if they find gambling apps on someone's mobile, they will be fined. But I don't think they can stop gambling like this. And regarding the proposals mentioned by the op, I want to say that cigarette packets have the words "Smoking causes cancer", does that make anyone stop smoking cigarettes?

Re: Will banks One day accept Bitcoin deposit?
by

on 07/09/2025, 06:54:13 UTC
One day banks will accept Bitcoin as medium of exchange and accept deposits from bitcoiners. As soon as the world powers accept it as medium of exchange.
I don't think that banks have any particular incentive to accelerate the adoption of Bitcoin, but history demonstrates that they do eventually change when the stress is sufficiently high. Consider how the internet began, how it was disregarded by traditional institutions that then opposed it, and now they cannot live without it. There are already some smaller banks who are testing custody services due to client demands, despite their late mover status by the big banks.
 The moral of the storey here is not that banks should legitimise Bitcoin, go ahead and use it as it was meant to be, peer to peer, and continue to use it until such time as they do.

If you want, you cannot easily send money directly from one country's bank to another country's bank. Although you can, you will have to spend a lot of time and trouble in this case.

However, if you want, you can transact through dollar currency through PayPal, Wise. However, I think the best solution would be to transact through USDT using a  centralized exchanger. In this case, you only have to do KYC verification.
And later, you can convert the USDT you receive into your country's fiat currency through p2p. (Since Binance is popular in our country, I use it most of the time)

A few days ago, Windows 11 KB5063878 was updated. Later I uninstalled it.Now, I felt lag while running the PC for a few days. Later, after checking the health of the SSD, I saw that the health of the SSD has decreased. Now I want to go back to Windows 10.

Now the main question is,

If I install Windows 10 on my PC, do I have to download the entire Bitcoin Core again?

Or if I want, can I backup my Bitcoin Core files to another drive and restore them later?
 
Because I wanted to run Bitcoin LND node after a few days.
