Re: I did a last resort resolve of gambling addiction.

Honestly, many gamblers say they'll stop gambling, but after a few days, they're back in action again. Well, I hope that will be serious and you'll never get tempted again.

Though this idea could help you, mate, it wouldn't completely make you safe, and there would be no room for gambling again. It actually takes time to close the door on gambling, and if you survive, you're totally free. With this, it could help more if you make yourself busy with other stuff to completely get gambling out of your mind.
OP is in control of whether he gambles or not. He blocks gambling websites on his system but it can be undone in just a few minutes.
It's still his way of stopping himself, and it works for him. That’s why he shared it here.
yes he can undo it easily but still gambling will not be as accessible as it once did because he has put up these ways so he can avoid gambling

he also needs to control himself but if this helps him then good

Re: Don’t fall into the take profit trap $118.8k isn’t it.

One of the common statements you would get from people at this time and with the charts going green is that, you should take profit and be done with it so you’ll invest when it dumps.
i mean that is definitely another strategy some people do this and i do not see anything wrong with this

usually this kind of people have limited budget and would like to buy as much bitcoins as i can with as little money as possible so they try to grow their money then use that to buy bitcoins the next time around when it gets cheap

Re: Betting on the impossible

For risk lovers and those with money in their pockets, betting on the impossible is probably a common occurrence, if it can entertain them. I am a bit of a bore at heart, and I will not such bets because I have stopped believing in miracles. For me, a miracle is already that I can win where the victory seems obvious, but it happens literally at the last moment.
yes for those who are expecting to win all the time probably would not let themselves bet on the impossible things

i feel like with a limited budget it would be so unwise to bet on things you find ridiculous because how often will you do that? not all the time i hope otherwise you will just keep losing money until a miracle comes and we know it only comes once.

Re: Is Satoshi Back?

Rumors has it that Satoshi is back with a new protocol called Fractal and VTSN as it's coin. This is Blockchain 2.0. No Mining or POW and Use crystal resonance for cryptography.
The movement of 80K btc was a launch of Liberty Money on 4th July, signifying freedom.
This is just another shitcoin. Blockchain 2.0 and Bitcoin 2.0 usually is a red flag and shows that a project is a scam btw. We've had many of these over the years.
they are obviously trying to get as much attention as possible by mentioning bitcoin and satoshi

oldest trick in the world, that is.
Quote
But I honestly like the tagline of VTSN - digital money nobody can f*** with. That's great confidence. But unless a strong proof is available in the market, no one is going to believe this story!
We already have one, Bitcoin. There is no second best.
there is no second bitcoin. it has not been created yet. maybe it will exist at some point but right now? there is nothing that can prove that bitcoin has been recreated and its success.

Re: AI for sports prediction.

We all know how good AI is with a lot of things however when it comes to sports prediction I don't think is something we should put how hope's on because it will never give you a correct prediction.
i have seen someone use ai for sports prediction and got it right i think just like with us humans ai can't also predict it correctly and also just depend on luck

so i do not think ai has better chances of winning at a sports bet so just make your own prediction based on your own knowledge

Re: Elon Musk endorsing Bitcoin on X

Is Bitcoin now a political tool? Every other politician that wants help comes to side with bitcoiners for fame, support and publicity. Afterwards they'll hardly acknowledge Bitcoin after hitting their goals. It's great not to be bias, but the focus of Bitcoin support shouldn't get distracted by politicians.
when trump won with the support of bitcoiners, it became a political tool

and then the south korean president also highlighted bitcoin/crypto during his campaign

i would not have other complaints if all this was genuine but if these politicians are only using bitcoin to get votes then that is when it becomes a problem

streamer promotes unregistered gambling platform
by
rodskee
on 04/07/2025, 03:10:25 UTC
with the rise of gambling these days, more and more celebrities and influencers are found to be promoting gambling platforms sometimes on television or sometimes on their social media platforms

well this one streamer is not an exception... See news

Quote
The KSA’s investigation began after reports surfaced of LeftlanePapi, whose real name is Djade Sadloe, livestreaming and promoting gambling activities on platforms not licensed in the Netherlands, such as Skyhills.com.

The influencer’s YouTube channel, with over 53,000 subscribers, featured videos that not only showcased live gambling but also included direct links and invitations for viewers to participate, as well as access to a Dutch-language Discord channel for additional support.

As a result of non-compliance, the KSA imposed a penalty order requiring the immediate cessation of all illegal promotional activities.

The order stipulates a fine of €25,000 (£21,519) per violation, up to a maximum of €75,000 (£64,559.62). If the influencer fails to comply, the regulator will also approach the social media platform directly to ensure the removal of harmful content.

this should be an example for influencers and celebrities to always check the kinds of things they are paid to endorse if they do not want to get in trouble

if you are an influencer, would you promote gambling on your page?

Re: IMF strikes once again

Pakistan Crypto Council CEO Bilal said he was only following what US doing and considering Bitcoin Strategic Reserve so why is IMF not bothering US with its policies when its also creating market distortions.
if you compare usa and pakistan, it is obvious which one has more political power and which one has a stronger economy

global or international organizations like imf may favor first world countries more even if they try to do it subtly that is the truth anyway and usa does not need to ask them for permission

Bhutan I think is doing the same thing too which they are using the power from their hydro power plants to mine Bitcoin. I think the rest of the world should be doing the same thing like the Volcano of El Salvador. There is a chance the finance crisis of these countries will be saved by BTC.
a lot of other third world countries may be following some may still studying the effects from other countries and gauging how international organizations will react first

Re: How do you examine your gambling experience?
by
rodskee
on 02/07/2025, 22:45:48 UTC
I make a mistake from looking back at my experience because I see how terrible I am. I feel disappointed, and it makes me feel sick and discouraged from gambling. Yes, it is a mistake because the casino can't get more money from me after discovering my big losses, which makes me slow down and become an occasional gambler.

I believe a change could happen if we track our gambling history. But sad to say, that gambler never takes this seriously. Ignoring the past makes us still see a lot of gamblers in debt.
we are never going to recover what we have lost but we can check if we could have done anything differently to change the results of or previous games

some people keep looking forward that they end up not correcting their mistakes that could have easily been changed if only they checked carefully

These days, so many people are in a hurry to make money. It’s not just about greed, the crippling economy and peer pressure has also contributed to this rush in life.
i get it tho because we really can't afford to slow down with how fast our world is going and we would not be able to survive if we slowed down

unfortunately there really is no good shortcut to being rich

3. Don’t Invest All Your Money
Always make sure you have some cash flow on hand. Life is unpredictable. Emergencies happen. Never put all your money into an investment, no matter how "sure" it seems.
people often do this because they believe this is how they will maximize their profit but it is quite risky to put all your money on one thing

it is like in betting, putting all your money into one bet is high risk

Re: Psychological aspect of choosing over or under
by
rodskee
on 01/07/2025, 23:28:35 UTC
Anyway, under is not always the correct answer as it really depends on the match, the teams, the gameplay and many other factors but most beginners end up getting too excited and betting mostly on over without proper analysation.

Neither is over the answer. The game of football is to score goals and win, beginners are more interested in choosing over instead of under because everyone in the pitch wants to score and if those goals came through they will win their bet. There is a higher chances of much goals to be scored in a match that less goals.  It is not about excitement, basically statistics proves over is the best choice.
it really depende on the gameplay or strategy

some teams may only focus on scoring one goal and defending for the rest of the game the opponent may not score a goal at all it’s a long game and it’s exhausting so it’s not just about scoring goals again and again as they need to be quite smart about it

maybe if it’s basketball then over will always be the good bet

Changing behavior and gambling spending habits is one way to determine if we are still on track or being irresponsible gamblers. We can easily spot it indeed. But the question is whether we take action for this or just continue doing it. Many gamblers say they are already addicted to gambling, but still, no action is taken to correct it.

It is not a question of how to track our gambling journey, but the real thing here is how we correct it, knowing that this would affect our financial health and mentality.
i don’t think it’s easy to spot it though as some may be less aware than others

some gamblers may not realize that they have been spending so much time and money until someone they know tells them then that is only when they can decide whether to change it or continue

we won’t be able to get a conclusion because everyone has a different opinion and it’s not like this can be measured and be proven easily because no one can really know even the gambler himself if his wins are from luck purely or was there some skill involved

i guess if you have some unlimited budget for gambling then you can spend some of it on tipsters and not feel regretful even if you don’t win but let’s say you only had $10 to gamble and the tip from a tipster cost $5… why not just make your own prediction and add the $5 to your bet? lol

you don’t get to win all in gambling

Re: Reality of investments on practice

In my opinion, the purpose of investing is not to create capital. The purpose of investing is to preserve existing capital. It is good for an investor if his investments allow him to preserve his savings from inflation.
yes that is true but we can also reinvest the money we gained from another investment and keep the money growing

i do not think there is just one right definition of investing neither there is just one way of investing because it really depends on the investor and what his capabilities are and what his goals are entering an investment

some may just want to keep their money safe from inflation, some may be planning to use the profit made for buying something huge, some may want to keep it growing and etc

Re: In the future there will be no casino that is KYC free.
by
rodskee
on 27/06/2025, 13:32:35 UTC
Unfortunately, yes. Soon all the casinos will have mandatory KYC. At least any significant casino will, if not already. You see stake which is among the most reputed casinos, they too demand KYC now and place users in withdraw-only mode. I am not against them because they allowed people to play without KYC for as long as they could, but they do have legal obligations, especially once they grow as big as they are.

Now new casinos operate without KYC but once they get big enough, they follow the suit. It's pretty obvious that anyone who wants to run a successful casino on a large scale has to make KYC mandatory otherwise they get surrounded by legal issues.
the problem is when a certain casino ends up receiving a ton of customers, they also get a ton of attention and they end up being noticed by the government at that point they have two choices which is to shut down or follow the government to keep operating and when you are a business that is starting to make huge profit, you do not sacrifice that and instead you do whatever is required for you to keep making said profits.

Re: Budgeting starts from personal budget then gambling budget.
by
rodskee
on 25/06/2025, 22:39:11 UTC
Fact is that if you've never paid attention to how much you spend on your minor wants, chances are high that you can never make proper budgeting for your gambling.

Sometimes, the amount we spend on things that don't add anything to us is always more than the amount we spend on gambling and for gambling expenses, it's even better because there's a chance that you might win and get a return from what you've put into it but for the regular expenses, once it's gone it's gone for good and it's easy to spend so much on small items without even knowing that a lot is already going into such as long as you're not taking record of such expenses.
it depends because what if those regular expenses are your bills? you are not supposed to feel regret for paying your bills or buying things that you need it’s not gonna generate more money but it gave you something in return like a service or a product
Quote
If you want to practice proper gambling budgeting and see that it works effectively, you first have to start from personal budgeting and then you can easily implement it in your gambling.

What's your take on this?
i agree because the budget for gambling should be what is left of the overall budget

Re: AI causes brainrot

From my perspective exposing children to these AI tools might reduce their creativity. Children need to develop creative thinking skills independently. Exposing them to these tools might make them depend solely on these tools.
ai is there to make things easier so if we give this to children they will get used to getting whatever they want and their brain wouldn’t have to work for it not only ai but technology in general

it is advisable that parents control their children’s screen time and limit it as much as possible

Re: Dopamine runs the world your mood brings you wealth

Research consistently shows that dopamine is essential not only for pleasure but for motivation and sustained effort. Low dopamine levels can explain why some communities struggle with long-term progress and why burnout in workplaces is so common.
depression among other illnesses literally stems from lack of dopamine

low dopamine is what doctors try to cure to ease you into what is considered normal because without dopamine you will feel a lack of motivation and hope

it is not only dopamine that is important but also serotonin these are chemicals in our brains responsible for how we feel and how we act

Re: Web3 games catching up with gambling and entertainment

on 23/06/2025, 13:09:25 UTC
Of course compared to plain gambling, it is better to play these games for as long as you are enjoying it. That you earn from it is a big bonus. But if you are just forcing yourself to play an otherwise boring game just for the sake of earning, it does not sound exciting at all.
gambling may not give off stable profit but it is enjoyable and that is what makes people keep coming back for more

if you do not enjoy playing a game or just doing something in general then you will lose all motivation even if there is money on the line it will just feel like work which if you are into then i guess you can check out
