Re: gambling and divorce

I think gambling should be a personal matter gambling in moderation and continue gambling so that you can continue to have fun and meet the daily needs of the family without any negative consequences.

I completely agree with your assumption that these items shouldn't be used as the primary means of supporting a family or as a primary source of income. There's certainly some enjoyment involved, but as you said, these games can quickly impoverish someone if they have limited capital and aren't skilled.
even those who got lucky in lottery found a way to invest their money or at least to sustain it and that is one smart way to take advantage of gambling wins but not depending on it too much because they know that gambling is not sustainable source of income

Enjoyment, of course, varies and can come from various sources, but in this case, it should be personal, and only we can experience the rewards, whether we win or lose. In my opinion, fulfill your primary needs first, and then, if you're more likely to enjoy yourself responsibly.
this applies to everywhere not just gambling we should put primary needs first to ensure our survival and safety before luxuries

Re: which has better odds

I think every person who plays in a casino, whether online or not, would prefer to win, and preferably a substantial amount. The OP's advice suggests that online casinos always have more chances, which in turn completely devalues going to an offline casino. I have a hard time believing this. There is no evidence without calculating the costs that are necessary for offline or online casinos. These are completely different things that make no sense to compare, so I would not rely solely on the statement that somewhere there are more chances to win and somewhere else the opposite.
no it is not just a myth. let us take slot machines for example.

which has better odds

which has better odds: physical casinos or online casinos?

the answer is online casinos. the reason for this is they have a lower cost for starting and operating the casino if it is online so there is not much needed to break even or get profit but physical casinos has a lot of costs just from the building, working employees, electricity or other maintenance needed.

maybe this is the reason why that online casinos are being seen as the better of the two but physical casinos now are just for the experience. if you are hoping to win big, stop going to physical casinos and instead open up your phone or your laptop and gamble there

gambling and divorce

is there a connection between gambling and divorce rate?

Research from the National Gambling Impact Study Commission and the Gambling Impact and Behavior Study indicates that divorce rates for those dealing with gambling issues are estimated to be around 40% for problem gamblers and approximately 54% for pathological gamblers.

i think the moment we hide our gambling habits from our partners that is the moment we will get in trouble because that is when trust crumbles and when you get in trouble in gambling and have to tell your partner you will be surprising them

not to mention some people also spend money from money that both the partners contributed in

so aside from gambling responsibly, will you agree that we should disclose our gambling habits or is it not the business of our spouses? does gambling really have the capacity to break up a marriage or a family?

Re: What do gamblers have in common?

We always talk about addictions, about how to gamble to achieve better results, but the topic of what goes through the mind of a healthy gambler is almost never touched upon.

Healthy gamblers are the majority. I wonder if there's something we all have in common that keeps us on the right path and never oversteps our limits.

Perhaps it has something to do with the time we dedicate to gambling, whether we do it for fun, or even if we have other things that take up most of our free time, like family, sports, exercise, or spending time with the people we love.
is it possible that only those who do not depend on gambling for profit are the ones who can gamble responsibly? since they are not driven by the need to survive and take that survival from gambling

Re: Do casinos use “near miss” psychology in slots to keep players hooked?
by
rodskee
on 12/08/2025, 12:29:28 UTC
Slot players will get this, sometimes that big bomb symbol drops, and you’re already thinking “this is it,” but nope… no tumble, nothing connects. Then you sit there thinking, “Damn, that was close,” and next thing you know, you’re still spinning, chasing that moment again.

So what do you think, just coincidence, or a little design magic to keep us hooked? I know they’ll say it’s all fair and random, but you can’t tell me the devs didn’t factor this in when making the game. After all, nothing keeps a gambler glued to the screen like almost winning.
yes you will not be wrong

probably someone who develops games will be able to explain better but in slot machines for example it has been said that they will often show jackpot symbols though only outside of the winning line to give gamblers that feeling of almost winning even though realistically they were not really that near to winning anyway

Dear readers,

I just completed the 'bitcoin for everybody course' on saylor.org website,


https://learn.saylor.org/pluginfile.php/1/tool_certificate/issues/1754911769/3974150817TB.pdf (they said to share the link),

I was wandering- if readers on this form know of better or best bitcoin resources to study for beginners?

"What would be the most optimal best bitcoin "course of study/resources" in order make the most money on bitcoin as quick as possible?
honestly just being here on the forum will help you a lot already they are not going to like that you have this kind of mindset where you want to make money as quick as possible because everyone knows nothing good comes out of impatience and it only makes you go with the wrong decisions so that is something that you would read around here and there are also stories from their own so you know that each decision leads to an event that has already happened to a lot of us so you can learn from a lot of us on here

no matter how much they try to hide it, it’s part of their business plan.

when you look at how casinos are designed it’s obvious that the plan is for people to be addicted, these promos or bonuses are a way for people to end up addicted and the casinos makes it that way

Re: If you’re gonna CASH OUT, Why PARLAY in the first place?

Why do people even go for parlays if they’re planning to cash out later? I’ve seen a lot of threads about cash outs in sports betting, and most of the time it’s about parlays based on their experience.
it is definitely possible to change your mind and those who went for parlays may definitely change their mind even after they have decided on a parlay they might feel anxious and might be overthinking their bet hence the sudden change of mind

Re: Does anxiety have any effects on gambling ?
by
rodskee
on 05/08/2025, 18:19:23 UTC
Are you usually an anxious person? I wonder if being anxious makes you more susceptible to being addicted to gambling or no?
-snip-

Anxious people should not gamble because it is an activity that can increase stress and worsen their overall mental condition. Especially in gambling, there is a very high level of uncertainty and risk of loss, which can cause anxiety to worsen over time in someone who cannot properly control their emotions and thoughts. This may lead to a loss of focus and potentially result in impulsive decisions that harm them in the long run. Therefore, as an anxious person, one needs to stay away from high-risk activities such as gambling, as it could further deteriorate their condition.
i know that anxious people tend to lose sleep over things

i think that if you have some kind of mental issue you should keep away from gambling because there is a huge chance that you will just worsen your mental condition like if you have any compulsive disorders, anxiety, depression or any other addiction to something else

Re: Apple (and Play) Stores are hosting scam wallet apps.

on 05/08/2025, 18:01:47 UTC
Anyone with large amounts of bitcoin in self-custody should be using the passphrase feature IMO,
so they can't steal your bitcoin with just the seedphrase alone. It is your last line of defense.
It's not about using passphrase or any other extra security including multi sig, once you installed the fake apps, they can gain access into your smartphone.
the most dangerous way of downloading softwares has got to be from chrome

there would be extensions or apps that you can download from chrome and i would suggest for no one to try this because it can literally be anything damaging

i am surprised to see that apple has scam apps when they are known for being a secure one due to exclusivity but play store having fake apps is not surprising

I agree with @Furious 7, there's a lot of gambling review sites already, let's see if yours are different or more comprehensive and less bias. That's what I'm looking on a review sites, not reviewing scam sits is one of the most important also.

I also suggest to try to make your ANN thread look good, that would help you getting people's attention to visit our site, or even gambling site who wants to get reviewed.
it would be good if they reviewed a scam site and pointed out the clear signs that the platform is a scam i am sure that that would put yourself into the world out there. i think that that is something that not a lot of platforms can do

Re: what happens after a calamity?
by
rodskee
on 31/07/2025, 17:26:59 UTC
Of course, Calamity can increase the rate of crime in a country, because the victims are desperate to take care of the basic needs and that will lead to looting for survival. They will also have easy access to places that they can steal from, because the disaster has made the vicinity unsecured due to the damage it caused and people would have abandoned their properties. It's really bad to have a government that turn their deaf hears on these victims.
this is why some families refuse to leave their houses to safely find refuge in evacuation areas because they are afraid that they will be stolen from by other people so they will risk their lives just to protect their houses

what happens after a calamity? a calamity is a event that causes extreme destruction to a community an example is a typhoon which my country just recently experienced and i observed that after the typhoon has passed there seems to be higher cases of people breaking into other people's houses and it made me wonder whether it is because after a calamity people have lost a lot of their properties or money which is why they especially need it this time and this pushes them to do illegal things

do you think that there is an association between a calamity and higher cases of crime in a country?

Re: Is the recommendation to HODL Bitcoin, to hodl it forever, or...
by
rodskee
on 26/07/2025, 23:10:19 UTC
Simple answer is Take profit when you are happy, there is no such thing as hodl forever, what happen if the price is now declining, this is just a example okay, the price goes down from 100k to 10k from the moment the price is going down to 50 you should have already take profit, why because you are again waiting for the next dip and buy cheap,
and hold again, so there is a phase that you should take profit and hold, this is just my opinion, look what the holder that bitcoin selling everything, you think, he will not buy again?
he will but with the cheap price or he thinks its already time again to bag.
this is one way but when people say keep hodling it just means you don’t look or touch at your bitcoins until you are absolutely ready to take it not to re-buy but to spend

we have different strategies some people buy and sell (not really trading) but some people also just hold for a long time so that they don’t have to think of too much worries and just keep holding

Re: Why some countries gamble more than the others?

on 23/07/2025, 23:27:21 UTC
Let's assume that a country has a better economy but its people can not realize the effects of gambling, they will still gamble and maybe many people will become addicted. They will deeper into gambling and face the gambling addiction problem.
monaco not allowing their citizens to gamble despite most of their citizens being millionaires at least may be an example of this

they will not appear in any data because their people do not gamble in their country and would have to go to another country just to gamble so addiction may be easily prevented

I am doing some research about gambling stats in different countries around the world, and I need your help.

I was looking to find percentage of people that gamble in each country, but I found various conflicting information.
This can include offline and online gambling, and I would like to see separate stats with countries that are on top for gambling with Bitcoin.
United States have most casinos in the world, but I was surprised to see list of other countries.
if you are making research, only focus on one category or else you will not find proper data and your conclusion will be all over the place for example you can't combine offline and online casinos as surely those will have different numbers so if just choose one from the two

Re: gambling in strict countries

on 20/07/2025, 23:22:45 UTC
I don’t know how it would work in North Korea, but I think an easy solution would be to use the Tor browser. Is that allowed, though? By “allowed,” I mean: can a person download the Tor app and use it to access online casinos or browse other websites? Or is that also forbidden by the North Korean government? Because when you combine Tor and cryptocurrencies, you basically have total freedom anywhere.

afaik it is totally illegal to use Tor or VPNs in North Korea. Also only the elite few could access to internet, if you were not elite they will restrict your access various way. I have heard they allowed on state-controlled intranets only for ordinary citizens. One of my tourist friend told me they closely monitored his internet activity and warned him that any attempt at anonymizing tools will immediately arouse suspicion. So merging Tor and bitcoin to gain complete freedom sounds interesting, but in real life, it seems to me high risk and almost beyond the bounds of possibility under the DPRK's surveillance-heavy regime.
you can probably secretly use internet without the government knowing but use it to escape the country it’s not unheard of for north koreans to escape the country so maybe they have found a way to escape the government’s eyes
