Till now what I watched almost everyone has faced same fate at start win and in the end remained with losses . We all almost all have same stories with different ways and experiences.

I signed with "Pascal Parvex". To whom do I send it now?

You can just post the Signed message and address here for us to verify it...

It's really sad to see you actually lost, and that you lost something very big compared to what you have, or I would say you have nothing compared to what you lost.

Possible for you to at least sign a message to prove that the address is yours?
If yes, then it will actually prove it to people that someone really lost something big in gambling...

It's obvious that people can lose big amounts gambling. Why make this guy prove that he lost that much? People have won and lost much bigger amounts.

I know and can totally understand what you are saying, but it will look much more authentic to people (including me) who still think that it's just a fake address used by a newbie claiming to be the owner, the cause might be good, but if confirmed and signed by OP, will make it look completely genuine.

Bad luck man! You'll win at the start but end up losing it all.

yes that's gambling, if you are not good at keeping the profit when a big win, but you too desire to play again. yes definitely end his losing all

It is very tough to decide when to stop.
Gambling is definitely very addictive.

well, all back to your personal matters

whether you will play high risk or small, as we now that in order to have good profit we need to invest some right?

so, play at your own risk and not to risk so much

Gambling can turn into a dangerous two-way street when you least expect it. Weird things happen suddenly, and your life can go all to pieces.

1) gambling has existed for thousands of years. It is in our human nature to gamble. Something about testing that hunter-gatherer instinct in some way that triggers something in our brains that most humans just seem to like. Or maybe not most, but at least a percentage of us really, really love to gamble.

2) a percentage of that group that likes gambling are problem gamblers. A percentage of the drinkers are problem drinkers. This doesn't mean we shouldn't make beer.

Lolz, seriously... And it's the OP's will only which made him lose 649 coins, right?
And you think that he can make it up to 1k BTC with his 1 last remaining BTC, is it what you wanted to say in your statement?

Over half of the crypto services out there are gambling related it seams.. Quite a shame. :/

Why is this a bad thing? Gambling is a legitimate business and people obviously enjoy doing it. Of course people can develop a problem with it but you can with drugs or sexy or food or many other things (all which you can probably buy with bitcoin too). People are in charge of their own life but bitcoin is just another thing that you need to be able to manage appropriately just like everything else.

Gamble with that 1 BTC and try to get up again. Why not? Nothing to lose now, right?

You do not tell a gambler to keep gambling what is wrong with you lol Yes there would be something to lose another btc that i thought would be obvious. If he is being honest and he did lose that coin the last thing he needs is a boot telling him to gamble his last btc Angry

Bro better for u to start a new bussiness with your coins rather gambling your coins as u and all say u lost at last in gambling and else gambling games we get only the lost of coins.

Thank you !!

What business do you think can he start with just a BTC?
He's only hodling one and a few million Doges (can't say even if he hodls 'em or not as no signed message has come up yet).
