I don't really think -Karma even makes sense, anyone can give you -Karma for any reason, you can argue with a member and they select one of your post and give you -Karma, i think this option should be disabled for members, and only the admins should be able to give -Karma. If a user is shitposting too much, you report them to the moderator and the admin can punish them with -10 Karma.

I agree with you. In a forum where everyone is allowed to share his opinion, I don't think any opinion can be wrong as long as it is not plagiarized. You might not support my opinion that doesn't mean others won't support it and so what's the need for a -karma. As you have said, some persons with dubious character might use that as a revenge strategy to witch hunt individuals of good mind. It is better to neglect or give a contrary opinion to a post made by someone than to give a -karma. If possible, -karma should he disabled because to me it serves no purpose.

The both are useful in the forum, just that the karma is giving by other advanced members of the forum if they find your post interesting or good, while the forum gives you points when you post...

I rate karma higher than points. My reason is that karma is like getting a thumbs up for a good post and so having karma shows that you are making an engaging post and so you should keep up but you can get points even when you are not making an engaging post. If my karma increases I will be happy but getting your points increased appears so normal and common compared to karma.

Passion they say drives the world and so gambling is too. I think passion can be equated to "reason" and so it will not be totally out of place to note that every gambler have a passion for gambling. The passion might differ but it is embedded in every gambler. Gambling for money is passion and also gambling for fun is passion too. I will say that gambling is a thing of passion.

My wife and I sometimes like to play on different gambling platforms. But she chose Fairspin and she likes that many online casinos come up with interesting games with special effects, it really entertains and brings in some money. Still, the opportunity to receive substantial winnings attracts not only men, but also ladies

Gambling with your wife can be a bit fun and entertaining and can bring that excitement in a family when it is done rightly but you and your wife can continue enjoying the thrill if only you take a pause when necessary. Even though sometimes gambling brings some extra cash to the family as you noted but then I don't need a prophet to tell me too that most times you lose and your wife lose too. Enjoy the moment but be conscious of your stake to avoid irreparable loss.

I went for 7 as I do not play in casinos . please note this pool includes off line or on line casinos

I don't like playing casinos as well but I tried to play games just to experience and yeah it does not work with me either. I just play lottery and offline sports betting. But I only play with extra money on this games, no hard earned money or loan money involved. Hopefully one day I will get the jackpot especially on lottery games.

"Oh good to hear that you're cautious and mindful about your gambling activities. Losing is not the problem in gambling but gambling with hard-earned money or loaned money creates the problem.

Losing in gambling is a problem, weather is your hard earn money or not.what you are losing is money,if is a borrow money or your personal money losing money in gambling,to me is a big problem.

Losing in gambling is not a problem because even before you place a bet, you know that you may not win. When you gamble with a budget losing will not amount to a problem for the gambler but when you are not guided by a budget you keep gambling and losing and sometimes, the gambler will try to recoup losses and this lies the problem in gambling.

Gambling is what people do for fun, its 50-50 either you win or you loose, Gambling is based on luck, you can also earn in crypto currency in most casino games and poca, but that Doyle's not means it is an investment...
Always stake wisely and do it as fun, and don't forget to stop or quit gambling especially when your making it an habit or becoming addicted to it.
It us quite hard for an addict to quit gambling, but if you really want to quit it you can do it, you just need to work on yourself,  shear your ideas about gambling wisely ...

When it comes to gambling, you must use all your intelligence and you must be responsible. You can't gamble with all the money in your pocket but you can gamble with a part of the money in your pocket and use your intelligence to try to bring the result of gambling in your favor. If the result is against then you can't be disappointed at all then you have to be patient and take a break. Be patient at the time and if you can take a break, work on your mistakes and gamble again later on, you may be more likely to succeed. The more intelligence you can apply in gambling and the more responsible you can be in gambling, the less losses you will incur in gambling.

The only role intelligence can play in your gambling is to make you gamble responsibly. Except this, intelligence cannot make you win. The importance of intelligence lies in the recognition that nothing is sure in gambling and so you should be minimal in the amount used for gambling.

Im gambling these days, mostly in casinos and sports betting people are motivated by other peoples win, and also they keep on trying their luck to see if it will be their turn to win big one day.

As a gambler, being motivated by other people's gambling winning is okay but don't over-bet based on that cos if you do, you would find yourself to be blamed at the end of the day. A gambler should only bet the little they can whether it is a loss or win, they try again later not what to do the whole day to make sure they win like others because each gambler luck is far different from others.

Having control when you gamble is very paramount. It will be irrational for a gambler to lose bitterly because of trying to record significant win. Most gamblers are lured into gambling because of the success story of another gamble but regardless of this mentality, a gambler should gamble with what he can afford to lose as you have mentioned.
