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?
I didn't but I've known friends in real life that went this fight.

I helped them through advising that they should find another outlet to release their addiction and use their time gradually forgetting gambling.

It's not easy but you'll get there, keep on fighting and have the will to get out of it because if you don't do it. You'll be the one to take the consequence of it.

I think if Dallas stays healthy and Cooper Flagg meets expectations then they could have a chance as well.
I hope that he's going to be treated differently as a rookie. Because most times, these rookies won't get a lot of playing time.

And maybe Kidd could give this kid a break and will show how effective he is. But with their roster being jampacked. I don't think that they'll ever get to see the full potential.

Maybe, I'm wrong.

He’ll get the time if he’s good enough. A lot of times rookies bodies aren’t ready for the NBA grind. LeBron got plenty of playing time his rookie year… I suspect we’ll be seeing around 25-30 minutes a game from Cooper Flagg this year, but you never know. The fact he got shut down in preseason so early to work on his body full time sort of shows he has the skills, they just need to prepare him physically.
We will see on the coming season.

And I guess with him being stopped on the preseason has something to do with himself being conditioned to the actual season that's about to come.

It's more important to keep him healthy for that than of the preseason games.

Re: Drinking vs Gambling

it is so rare to see an under 18yrs taking alcohol
It is because that you will not see minors doing it in the public streets. They're doing it in closed door areas where no one will notice them or else they'll get arrested for that.

but in gambling an under 18yrs can gamble without being noticed even though it is strictly for 18yrs and above. now,  To answer your question, alcohol has been around for so long and that is why it is more accepted than gambling.
It's just the same for both.

They've been there since ages and as well as can be done where it cannot be noticed that the underage kids have been doing it.

Re: Would you allow your underage kid to use your detail for KYC after a big win.

Have you noticed that some posters purposed punishment, limitation or something of that kind to a underaged kid who had a big win. Why punish a child, when its parents fault that let underaged to gamble, its their fault that they havent paid enough attention to what their child is doing. Parents are responsible for their children fully until they turn 18. Punish yourself instead.
You have a point about that, it's the parents fault why their underage kids were able to gamble. Giving free and easy access to the gadgets and also to the internet.

If they have just allowed their kids to watch tv then this won't happen.

But at some point, this give the scare to their kid that they should never do it or else, they'll get beaten.

What will determine if the people that were convinced to gamble in the casino will continue gambling there or not is based on the experience they get while they visit the casino. Even if it's not entirely possible to meet up with all the promised rewards, there is something that can still keep some of the players with that casino, and the few among all the new players will be able to get out with great rewards, and they will continue to gamble there and can still indirectly refer others to come.
If the experience of these gamblers are good and they received the rewards easily, they'll coming back to that casino.

But the others that have been trapped into these bonuses and rewards will continue to do and aim with it.

Well, I might be wrong in saying about them being trapped but that might be the case for them.

Re: Banning gambling, would this solve the problem?
by
livingfree
on 21/07/2025, 23:05:48 UTC
I can't say anything else but I can say that just banning gambling is not a guarantee that people will be stopped from gambling.
Rather, if I say that gambling is banned in my country, I can still gamble. However, this is normal, even though gambling is banned in my country, even underage school children here gamble in online casinos. So I think just gambling is not enough.
It won't guarantee to solve the addiction problem of people if they're going to ban it. It will somehow retaliate still to what they've decided with.

Some gamblers might be discouraged with that and might just do some other things aside from gambling.

But the real gamblers will still be committed in finding some areas where they can gamble, physically or online.

Pat Bev said on a post that Dame isn't wrong.

Not gonna chase rings anymore but he's back where the love is and that's where he has started, the Portland Blazers.

Well, they've got Jrue there that he can play with and also the rookie center, Yang Hansen that he can mentor.

Indeed, he will be playingi in front of those people who cheer him the most! For players who loves playing the game, it's really enjoyable when you know you are been watch by those fans who loves to see your performance game after game, the reaction of the crowd when it's Dame time, for sure it's different when he's in Blazers uniform.

Welcome Back Dame, just enjoy and make that comeback worth for those blazers fans who loves and idolize you!
Yeah, it will be different now that he's back in his uniform with the Blazers.

We're just happy that the Blazers still accepted and offered him a contract. Because if it's the other teams, they might take him anymore and with that injury that he's got.

He will still get some teams but it's completely different setting but with Blazers, he's confident with them.

Re: When you're winning you can't sleep

on 20/07/2025, 23:14:51 UTC
Op is right, it all depends on the kind of gambler and how they handle excitement. Everyone with their different way of handling situation either sad mood or joyful mood, while some will say losing a bet can cause sleepless night I might consider winning a bet can as well cause such situation although I can’t relate but, I have seen people behave differently towards their win so not being able to sleep can be part of one. I’m curious if they stay awake all day watching their game or after playing the game what’s still the point staying awake, no doubt at that moment they think differently maybe after awhile they’ll realize is just a win.
It affects our sleep whenever we're winning and losing, so therefore that we shouldn't gamble so we can sleep.  Tongue

But it's true that it really depends on what kind of person we are. If we are so excited for every win that we make, that could also make ourselves and what are those? hormones, to be in a rush.

What makes us keep away from being asleep might be affected with how our emotions are mixing up.

Damian Lillard is back at Trail Blazers now where everything started for him after playing at Bucks for 2 years.



His statistics generally downgraded after signing for Bucks. It can be related to his getting old as well of course. He is 35 years old now. But we will find out next season. Smiley

However he is still suffering an achilles injury if I'm not wrong. Will he be able to catch up with the new season?

Re: Is There No Good Side Of Gambling?

They will only realize the bad side of it when they're no longer winning and they're spending too much already.

There come a lot of realization at the end and it's true that it will be their choice that they need to do if it's gonna be worth it for them to do more or force themselves to control it.

This is normal reaction if you don’t gamble what you can afford since every lose will counts and will turn into giant disappointment once player sum all their losses.

But if you play responsibly, even if you keep losing you will not view gambling all negatively because you knew winning days will come soon since gambling is just almost balance between losing and winning if we will just have fun.
I think that's a quite dangerous mindset that even if you're losing, you'll still remain positive that winning will come.

It all lies into gambling more until you win and even if you have nothing in your pocket anymore, because you think that something good will come out eventually, you'll continue to gamble.

Being positive thinker is fine but, there is a limitation to it and we have to know when it's solely negative already and we have to stop.

It just seem like one needs to be properly guidedon the wings of gambling so therefore there's nothing wrong in letting them know the both sides of gambling and leave them with their own choice of decisions but they'll be glad they knew the negative snd positive sides. I believe it's based on the negative occurrence that has led people to withheld the good sides of gambling.
They will only realize the bad side of it when they're no longer winning and they're spending too much already.

Re: consequenced of promoting illegal casinos.

on 18/07/2025, 23:16:56 UTC
these fishy casinos are advertised by these public figures which leads to a whole lot of people getting scammed..
They got paid good with that and that's why it won't matter to them even if the casino is a total scam.

even though they are doing it so the gamblers can identify the real and fake casinos It still comes at a huge cost to the gamblers
And it includes the gamblers that have no idea if a casino is real and not.

We've got an advantage in the forum because we know if the casino has a good reputation or just newly launched and should be used with caution.

In the country I'm in, things are different Prisoners have too much freedom Gambling? Ugh, whatever they can and whatever they want, That's where they make money, for themselves and for the police In fact, it's big business I don't know if they have their own casinos inside the prisons, but they do it if they want, and everything's fine It's not something they publish in the news, but it's normal In the prison I know, because I've had the opportunity to go, it's a different world Gambling is rampant.
Most likely it's just a casual type of gambling place and not a casino type but they probably are calling it the same as the physical casinos that we see.

Bets there could be something different from the outside world and that might include everything they have there.

I wouldn't go there or join any table but I just want to spectate if I happen to enter one.

Re: How annoying is KYC for crypto gambling?

That's right, abusers will go where the money is and they think they can rig the promotions and bonuses. They are outsmarting these casinos thinking that it's a good way to gain more users.

But they've been cheated on and that's why they have to do something such as kyc compliance.

So, we can understand on their end what they have to do that. Not just about the regulations but also with situations like this.
KYC is always a good thing, but I understand that for many it is difficult not to choose the no KYC it is essential to continue playing, many can no longer play in regulated casinos and therefore choose the no KYC path risking losing everything, even if there are casinos that do not have the KYC and yet it works anyway.
Maybe for some times but it's mostly good on the side of the casinos.

This has all been really insightful. Thanks to everyone for sharing your thoughts.

I’m also curious about what games everyone enjoys playing. I’ll start a separate thread for that. Feel free to jump in and share your thoughts there.

I’m looking to create an online gambling site focused on transparency and trust. The goal is to bring gambling back to its core with simple and honest games that anyone can enjoy without high fees, rigged systems, or unnecessary complexity.
You've got a good vision to what you're creating and I hope you succeed. Despite with the hard competition that you see in the gambling business especially from the forum.

I know that many gamblers are looking for a casino that values transparency and trust.

You should include that in your platform; all major casinos have it, and you will eventually need this to avoid cheaters from abusing your platform.
This is also done due to that.

Many casinos run a lot of bonuses and giveaways and even they are for pennies. You'd see abusers there left and right.

So in order for them to lessen the abusers or complete annihilate them, they have to move with KYC and ask that for every user.

I've seen online casinos before that went bankrupt fast because of that mistake. They are KYC-free and since they are new and want to attract new users to their platform, they give bonuses and giveaways to them.

Not realizing there is an exploit to their promotion that there is no restriction to withdraw it, their website shutdown in less than a week since new users created multiple accounts to grab the bonus. Withdrawals were automated so it was too late before they realize the loophole and halted the outgoing transactions.

KYC then has become mandatory because of this reason aside from security purposes.

If OP builds a gambling site, I am sure that someday even if he says that they'll be kyc-free forever. It won't happen, because some already said that before.

There’s a strong rumor that he will go to Dallas. It make sense since he will reunite to his former teammates that give him the championship both AD and Kyrie.

I’m just not sure if he will truly leave Lakers while Bronny is still there. I doubt any team will risk a buy 1 take 1 father and son deal while Lebron is already not on his prime.
That one season with his son didn't do that much. His moves now are watched by the fans all around the world.

I think he won't leave Bronny there so it's gotta be some deal with his son all along or he'll stay to the Lakers. I don't know but it's an interesting trade if it happens.

There's no need to say anything about the Phoenix Suns, as they're truly mismanaged. They've lost everything they had.
They invested a lot and never got the ROI, LOL.

Re: Use simple logic to win in sports betting..

Previously, I didn’t really believe that anyone could succeed in sports betting and was especially surprised by those guys who placed several bets, forming one big express bet with a small probability of winning but with a very huge win.
However, it turns out that there are quite a lot of both gamblers and experienced bettors here on the forum, and many of them share their results. For example, in the Russian locale thread there is a guy who even posted that one of his express bets brought him quite a significant amount for several correct outcomes in a row.
Success is subjective in sports betting.

But if it's a significant amount of money and it certainly is a lot for us, that's what success is for us.

So, it's very likely that someone can win with huge amount of money from the bets that they place. Small amounts with larger odds.

With bigger bets, bigger winnings but it doesn't happen at most times.

You should make yourself a backup for each accounts that you use in casinos and emails. But as long as you've provided them with an accurate answer based on your email and account, it will be retrieved.

Don't you have any other cellphones or devices for you to log in your account or you've completely kept the record of your account through that phone?

Well, in good faith they'll help you with your account access again.
I have got my phone, with the help of email I found the person who found my phone, he is an honest person, thanks to him I can access my betfurry account again, I am really grateful to him, finally I can play again on betfurry
Well, that's in good faith of being returned to you. Not only about the account that you've asked for retrieval.

Now, it's best for you to make a back up and don't record everything on your phone if it's the credential and login details of your accounts.

Make sure that you make some back ups that you'd have just in case if something bad happens again to your phone.
