Even if you limit gambling to entertainment, you can still become addicted. If you do not limit yourself in financial capacity. Build financial capacity by allocating a portion of your discretionary income to entertainment. Or if you gamble to earn money, it is not a problem because you are allocating a certain amount of funds to gambling. One of the many reasons for the risk of developing an addiction to gambling is not being within financial constraints and spending a lot of time gambling. Another reason is that the gambler himself is not able to realization that he is addicted to gambling. If a gambler had realized in advance that he was addicted, he might have been able to reduce the amount of losses.

What is your opinion?

My account was also affected by several IP addresses accessing my account, but this is quite a strange incident, because logging in also requires an OTP from Gmail. I'm quite confused as to why they can log in without an OTP and they can't make a withdrawal because of the OTP.

I can understand you're going through, but i would like to know if you have done some research about how session hijacking/cookie theft operates?

This problem is a valuable lesson for 2UP to tighten user data security.

Have you ever thought about what you could achieve in betting if you were able to focus only on it? If you had enough capital or maybe even passive income to cover all your daily expenses, so you wouldn’t have to worry about going to work and earning money, and you could treat betting as a full-time job. Do you think that would affect your betting results in any way, or would everything stay more or less at the same level it is now?

How do you usually analyze a match, do you do it superficially because you don't have much free time, or do you devote enough time to it, that you wouldn't be able to change anything even if you could only focus on betting?

I'm curious about the hacker's intentions if he wasn't draining users' balances and was only interested in general casino games. I can't imagine how he could have placed bets with different accounts in such a short period of time.

I'm glad to hear that no significant losses resulted from this incident.

Matthew 27:35, Mark 15:24, John 19:23.

People have been gambling right from time immemorial and it's not a new thing even when Jesus Christ was starting his mission as our Lord and personally Savior, he went into the temple and the Pharisees were using the temple to sell all manner of things and were gambling in the temple which he kicked against and drove them out.

Pastors preach about gambling because of the negative effects it has on society and individuals that are involved in it, imagine if you see someone sell his properties just to have money to fund his wallet to bet, some get addicted and frustrated from looses and that's why it is talked about. I gamble but I do it responsibly and once in a while, I don't allow it take control of me and I also place myself on bankroll Management so I don't go bankrupt due to lack of self control and discipline while gambling no one is against who bets responsibly but they must also talk about it's implications that arise from irresponsible gambling.

What you said is correct but the any is what I will disagree with you. You can only say, gambling has not solve any problem for you but it has solved problems for others even not all but people. If someone wins $30,000 in gambling and used $25,000 to solve his problem, gambling has done great for him. There are three main things every human being is pursueing in the world to achieve. To get money, either business or job, get marry and build or buy house then children so if a gambler wins such amount and build house, marry and buy car. Has gambling solve any problem for you? As for me gambling can solve problem but it's not continuesly but at once.

Now he is asking me, is it a big concern if your employer starts to frequent casinos?

Or he is just speculating that it will harm the company eventually.

I admire the courage of people like him when they know deep inside their heart and mind that they have a fake ticket.

Are they thinking that these systems are dumb not to track and verify if they're holding a real ticket or not? Because AFAIK, they also can verify from which location the ticket is bought so if the claimant is getting it from a different location and he can't even say where is the origin of it, he's already a walking red flag to the front of the claims officers if ever he's not thinking about that.

As long as a gambler is in control of his gambling and accepts the benefits and losses as normal, things are fine, but the situation is different when a gambler tries his best to recover his lost money and gambles aggressively. If the obsession to recover the lost money arises in the mind of a gambler, then he uses more money and gambles aggressively, but the money he uses later loses the money, as a result of which he is no longer able to make good decisions in gambling. This type of gambling is usually called "chasing losses" and these things are usually the main signs of addiction to the game.
