I have never seen any place, real life or online, embrace gambling as much as this forum has. A little bit of gambling is okay but when you do it with the hope of making money it becomes a problem. The house ALWAYS wins. I see so many people here throw their money away at these online casinos.
Well this is the bitcoin forum that we are talking about and all sorts of people from different countries are active here. What do you expect? A little bit of gambling is what you consider having self-discipline and it may help the individual avoid losing tons of money. The house will always win depending
IF you do not have any self-discipline and control over your addiction.
I just banned myself from the casino IRL yesterday after losing $40 at Blackjack. I got 18, and the dealer got 20. See? It doesn't matter how good you are at the game, the odds are always stacked against you.
Wait, you said that a little bit of gambling is okay but you get yourself banned from a casino from losing your mind over. I really find it ironic as you contradict your statements.
If this forum were embracing drug addiction, don't you think it wouldn't look as good?
The forum never embraced gambling and it never convinced people to do gambling as well. This forum is an avenue for business people to set-up their gambling business and it never convinced anyone to play as everything is subject to our free will and discretion.
Both gambling and drug usage stem from the same problem- which is ADDICTION. Search other posts and there are a ton of support posts and messages on how to overcome addiction.
