You will always lose if you will not have your experience or interest in any game and you will just follow the tips of others. It is like playing blindly. Betting is an easy game if you know about the sports about which you know like if you know that which player will perform better and how much are their capability then you will bet accordingly and will not lose.
Those who to do sport betting usually have an interest and the fans from particular sports and they know well almost every teams to bets but i think betting game is not easy such as you says even if you have good knowledge for particular teams but sometimes even favourite teams can give unpredictable results to you but indeed the difference if you have at least small knowledge then you can predict by with yourself the results of matches
Yes sometimes it happens but it do not happens all the time, in sports we know that which team is doing better against another and sometimes we see a two great teams facing each other so in that match the games becomes critical and we all who spend time in sports know about that and we know that which are those teams who show unpredictable results which make the betting predictable for us. Many stronger gambler involve in that games but many often do not involve and just become the spectators of that games to secure their money from lose.
102  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What matters most to online casinos? on: January 02, 2020, 05:52:28 PM
I think this topic should better fit the subject, what matters the most for people in choosing casino? Because it is quite hard for us to tell what matters the most to casinos if they are not really filtering who's gonna play and gamble to their platform, so it is better for us to look at the aspects of the casinos, such as how they provide services, are they really fair? how's the graphics and animation to the games? For us to tell which casinos are the best especially in crypto space.
But in these two if we see that how much a casino is fair then it will be more satisfied because if we will play is a safe place and with a legit casino then there are chances that we get what we want from gambling. It is also important to see that if the casino in which we are playing is under the hands of legit person or not as in the history of online casinos we saw a lot of casinos who scammed many people and stolen the money of their users.

This is not that easy as you've thought. Control yourself when you feel that you addicted to it?

This is quite hilarious,.. how can anyone control himself when he is already addicted.

The thing to do here is to control ourselves for us not to get addicted because when we are in the situation that we are already addicted, the read problem will come and we won't be able to control anymore. That situation, we need some help from people who truly cares for us to eliminate that addiction.
Its very hard to control our self once we get addicted on gambling because addicted is the one i know that is getting worse when getting addicted in gambling. So many people are getting addicted in gambling because they want to get more money and some are enjoying play even they are losing there money.
In the start it is not hard for any person to control our self if any person who will start gambling will think for their family members and they will also think for their money and will make a planner for their gambling then they will not be addicted and whenever they will play they will care to not lose too much money and will not spend the whole day in gambling.

From my personal experience I used, I paid about $ 70 a month, and I got a ticket every 2 days with odds 3-4, I was not satisfied, I guessed poorly (more precisely that tipser), out of 15 tickets, the hits were 7. which is very bad for that odds. I lost a lot on that, so I'm interested in your experience?
You will always lose if you will not have your experience or interest in any game and you will just follow the tips of others. It is like playing blindly. Betting is an easy game if you know about the sports about which you know like if you know that which player will perform better and how much are their capability then you will bet accordingly and will not lose.
105  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: two gambling games that are players favorite on: January 02, 2020, 05:11:31 PM
There are two games gamblers like this are card games and dice games ive seen people who look for this games everywhere , because this games are easy to learn and dont need too much effort how to do it, at the same time there is a bit high chance to win, aside from other games do you agree with me, feel free to share ypur opinion thanks
The actual reason is that these two games are easy among all others and when anyone come as a new gambler then they start from these games and as anyone if start any game get interested and becomes the fan of that game so the players of these two games are much more, I think we can say that almost all of the gamblers try and play card games and dice games.
106  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling with Fiat or Crypto? on: January 01, 2020, 05:51:19 PM
I do not gambling with fiat money because it is illegal in my country. There are legal casinos but the thing is it is very hassle because you need to go there in order to play and also their is a specific age in order to enter the casinos. I do gambling with cryptocurrency because it is not hassle. I can easily gamble my money by just creating an account in a gambling site. There is also gambling site that doesn't need my identity and for me it is better than to play in gambling with a requirements such as ID verification and many more.
What is that country? it's confusing as you have said gambling with cash is illegal then why is it that there are legal casinos? Does your government only allows its citizen to gamble to respective casinos that are legal and prohibits outside gambling like in public places that has no license to operate?
Base on your explanation, it got me confused of what's really the status of your country regards to gambling physically. But it's all good if you are okay gambling with crypto which makes you safe if your government doesn't allow people to gamble everywhere.
He means that gambling is illegal in his country at all so he is unable to gamble but he is gambling with cryptocurrencies because the governments cannot find the gambler who is gambling with cryptocurrencies, one reason is that cryptocurrencies are unable to trace and it is also a decentralized currency and do not need any bank account to transfer your money to gambling sites.
107  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much of your money only needed for gambling and others is for family on: January 01, 2020, 05:33:17 PM
Nobody should be saying like 50% goes for food, 30% goes to savings, 10% goes to gambling, and so forth. The money going into gambling should be the extra of the extra savings.
i do agree on most of your point but on this one i think it depends on the person,like me whenever there is a chance that i want to gamble?i allocate part of my paycheck since everything comes to my wife constantly,so on that case i am asking her to at least allowed me to have 10-20% from my money because i only play when i have time and when i felt like wanna having fun,or maybe i am too different from others as i am responsible in everything i am doing.
It is good to hear that you have gave the authority to your housewife to spend on your family as she will care for her kids and will not let you waste your money, if she will find it okay to allow you to play with some money then okay while if she do not allow you then you can play on other casino sites which allow some users to play the free games or allow the users to collect some coins from faucet or other bonuses etc.
108  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Addiction at its Worst! on: December 31, 2019, 05:48:43 PM
That's an example of addiction we should all avoid.
He didn't just risk his money but also he stole money from the company that he is working and this is even worse... But those people who are working in Stock and trading companies are the biggest gamblers of all...
That is the bad thing for which people are saying that gambling addiction is not good. Just think a person do not do much bad if he is spending more time of his day in gambling because of his love to it while if he continue to lose the money of his family and after that he start to steal the money of other people and getting money using other bad habits then it create a bad society around him and result in crimes which comes due to worst addiction.
109  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you feel more lucky than usual when it's New Year's. on: December 31, 2019, 05:30:39 PM
I lived in this misconception, once before the New Year I had a good profit, and it happened again 2 years in a row.
I thought I was more lucky when the New Year.
Of course this is not true, the casino never changes under the influence of the social factor.
The casino is the same as always no change.
Or maybe there is?
It can be possible to be more lucky in the event of new year as in this event many people come to gamble many of them are not good in gambling and if you will bet with them then you will definitely win that bet but the condition is that if you are a good gambler as if you will not be a good gambler then you will also be the same like other non expert gamblers who often lose their money on events like this new year.
110  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Decisions for a better life on: December 27, 2019, 03:20:53 PM
I depends, when you are addicted to gambling, should you totally ignore your family? At lease you should go home to sleep, of course the addiction will have a way of affecting your attention for your family, but whatever you are addicted to should be profitable enough to make you still pay bills and your family should accept that you are addicted to something reasonable not to be a fool. Family is far more important but if one is addicted to gambling not foolishly.
If one is addicted to gambling there's no other things inside his mind everything is all about gambling, it won't bothered to think about his family as
he will only care about how to gamble and all inside his minds is just to find ways to try winning and increase his chances to win big time.
Yes these things happen to the gamblers but along with that there is a lot of entertainment in these games which also attract them and keep them intact to the gambling. Plus the wish to earn profit in gambling increase the addiction of gamblers. These things when combine together the gambler start to lose their family members and they forget that they also have to care for their family.
111  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Much Money You Need To Win To Stop gambling, Is This Possible. on: December 27, 2019, 02:05:09 PM
Can you involve money for you to stop gambling or a gambler can really stop after he promises that if he wins this jackpot he will stop?
This is for the big-time gambler or those who gamble habitually or even those who have the urge to gamble when they have available money.


I would be happy with 1 million.
If I had that money I won't be in any need to gamble more and I would stop.
Then I will do the 1 million 10 and so on, not by gambling but by investing.
1 million is the wish of many gamblers but it can be win by those gamblers who will have a lot of money who cannot stop in the mid or can be win by those people who will be more lucky and will be more expert and will win every bet of gambling.
By the way I will suggest to the gamblers to do sports gambling as betting in sports can make money to sports lovers in the way that if we know about the sports and about the talent of the team then we will know that what the particular team is going to achieve.
112  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Decisions for a better life on: December 26, 2019, 05:58:28 PM
A person should never have to think about this decision, unless they are estranged from their family or something. Succumbing to addiction is something nobody should ever do as it will just make your life worse than it already is.

Gambling or say money is such a thing that people forget the relationships in front of money and this I have seen it practically also . Only a self disciplined or say who have a good control can resist from such addiction else people are prone to it .
We should keep out relations at first priority and we should spend with family as well because gambling is not all we need in life but we just need some family. So we should gamble but don’t be greedy to spend time earning all the time and no time for people who live around us as this way we can become addicted to gambling which is not a good thing at all.
If we keep in mind that we are earning money for our family and no matter from which place we go to earn we earn that for our family and we keep limit for our family that we have to complete that limit amount for our family to feed them then we will not be careless about our family needs and it will not make us to lose our money which we earn for our family. At the time of gambling if we keep in mind that we are playing only to get rid of tiredness and to be ready to do more work to earn for our family then we will not be addicted.
113  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Addiction at its Worst! on: December 26, 2019, 05:45:03 PM
I was reading the news this morning and one of the headlines was about a terrible stealing incident involving an alleged gambling addict. The man is an employee of R&L Investments, one of the Philippines' oldest stock brokerage firms. He was able to orchestrate a way to suck at least ₱700-million worth of stocks from the company to support his gambling addiction. This is around 14 million USD, huge enough for the company to decide its closure after 5 decades of operation.[1]

This case made me remember another news that shocked the country and beyond more than a couple of years ago. This incident involved another gambling addict who tried to burn down the casino inside Resorts World Manila. The man entered the casino fully armed and attempted to steal chips. It went awry and much worse from there, and ended up burning himself alive. The gambling addiction of the perpetrator had reached its worst end after initially causing separation from his family, selling of properties including his home and car, incurring huge debts, and so on. The incident claimed dozens of lives.[2]



I want to ask my fellow gamblers here, what is the worst thing you have done for your gambling hobby or habit? Have you come to the point of getting addicted to it and how did you counter it?

Luckily I or my close people have not faced such gambling addictions, nothing I have heard of but there was an uncle in my neighborhood, must be around early 50 years who lost most of his savings on gamble. He got so addicted to the the gains & overspending that he could not foresee what he is getting into. Eventually, he lost his family too.
That is sad to hear but that not happened only to him I have heard and saw a number of people like that. They do not care for their family and they lose all of their money in gambling and they even lose that money which will make the future of their family so if he will lose the base of their family then their family members are not at wrong to leave that place and to find another strong support.
114  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Real reasons to Why do you gamble? on: December 26, 2019, 05:28:29 PM
When it's my first time as a gambler, my reason was to earn easy money from gambling, but the longer i play gambling at the casino or in the online casino, i only now gamble for fun or entertainment because i learned that even you win a lot of time in gambling you still lose in the end, so you should put inside your mind that earning in gambling is impossible.
Seem to be honest, I just start gambling because I was wishing to earn a lot of money from it and after that I recognized that it's so risky and we'll probably lose a lot of money so then I just tried to do gambling, but just for fun and to amuse with my friends, I don't really consider it as a source of earning a lot of money!


if the main purpose of gambling as a source of income to get money then that is the biggest mistake and of course has a very high risk. even without us knowing gambling that we do without emotional control can spend a lot of capital to continue playing because gambling can make users always feel curious to be able to generate large profits.
I will say that for some people gambling can be a source of income but these are only those people who are the owners of the casinos as they never lose money while running the casino. It is just like their businesses all they will need to do marketing of their casino and for that they will spend money which is also not a lose because the more they will do marketing the more they will get the clients and the profit in result.
115  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will You Bet Or Gamble Before New Year, Or On The New Year on: December 26, 2019, 05:19:01 PM
Oh man, it's so hard to answer and there are a lot of reasons that makes it difficult. At first, casinos offer great promotions for new year and secondly, I think Bitsler as always will offer amazing promotion along a lot of current wagering and billlion bets promotion.
So if you want to hunt on amazing promotions, then new year is great day for you but if you want to just enjoy the new year with family, then leave gambling for a while and join it after new year if you wish of course.
From the post of the OP it is obvious that he know about these type of promotions and opportunities which attract almost all of the gamblers and because of that OP is suggesting that we have to not gamble if we have to pay for the daily needs of our family members. As seeing that opportunities and promotions many gamblers try till end to grab any of them and they do not stop until they finish all of their money.
116  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will You Bet Or Gamble Before New Year, Or On The New Year on: December 26, 2019, 05:01:24 PM
I want to know will you gamble before the year-end to try to get the most before the year-end or will you prefer to gamble after the new year to welcome the year, or will you prefer to do both, I'm having second thought betting before the year-end I might end up empty-handed, coming to the new year, and I'm also having second thought gambling in a new year I might end up starting the year with a lost. 

It's up to you buddy but mu honest opinion is not to gamble until in the new year as there's a chance that if you gamble now before the new year you might end up with no money in your pocket. Delay the temptation for as long as possible!
You have a brilliant opinion in that case because there are many gamblers who do not have control on their bets and they often end up the game after they lose all of their money. These people have to avoid gambling before they complete all the needs of their family. While if someone are confident that they have control on their bets and they can stop themselves when they want then they can enjoy their gambling in the happiness of the new year to check their luck.
117  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What did you learn as a gambler? on: December 25, 2019, 05:55:30 PM
You probably heard the negative sides of gambling, some people who dont gamble has this bad impression towards it and we cant blame them for thinking that way because of the bad affect of gambling to a person who dont have control and let himself became addicted.

Now what did you realize or learn as a gambler (regardless if you became an addicted or not) that you can share to others?

As a former addicted gambler I realized that gambling is not the answer if you're desperate to grow your money and should not be our last resort in times like this because there's other way that can be the solution to our problem when it comes to money.

What I have learnt from my gambling experience is that the more you gamble the more you will lose.
If you want to try your luck it is the best to do it only once. And the thing that everybody is aware of "Do not gamble money that you cannot afford".
There is nothing bad in gambling more but it shall be paired with great control over emotions and especially greed. Greed makes thing worse when you are gambling often. When you win some good money, definitely you get inclined towards big bets which are offering great money. I like gambling when I am playing with the money from my savings not with the money that I have borrowed from someone.
There is another point which is very important that is if you want to continue for longer and do not want to be empty sooner then you have not to go for bigger bets. Better option for any successful gambler is to gamble with lower amounts which will not only keep you in the game for longer time but it will also give you much knowledge for the future purpose and with that knowledge it is possible that you may win good number of bets.
118  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Purposes to play gambling, except being rich on: December 25, 2019, 05:35:28 PM
[Except being rich]
at first it was definitely just for fun while spending time but if you get profit then it's better. after a long time wanting to hone the ability to gamble to become an expert gambler, when doing so it turned out to be an addictive effect that can not be stopped and ends like a routine.  I can not describe in more detail, roughly that's how I feel right now.
But if a person have control on himself from the beginning then he cannot be ruined by starting gambling because I also a few years ago started gambling and I started to see that how it work and wanted to see that how much entertainment is in it and I kept myself in control and till now I am not addicted and I spend my life happy and not losing my money useless.
119  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Addiction at its Worst! on: December 25, 2019, 05:17:13 PM
I wonder what specifically the person gamble on? The article did not mention it unfortunately. I guess he gambled on stock hoping to make quick profits and return back what he took. Both Op post and the article sound like he took the  huge sums of money and spent it in a casino or something. Taking any kind of risk could be described as gambling, I guess.


It hurts when we read this type of things as that person would be now busted and would not have anything left or would have lost huge amount of money. He forgot the basic rules itself that never bet or borrow money from others for such stuff and he did exactly the same thing. Also going big on such things can lead to heavy losses unless you can afford such loss never do such kind of things.


So not all the time we call it addictions but people must have control over emotions and they should have control that when they want to stop so they can it is much better to make limit for gambling money and get not to exceed it. Addictions is in your hands if you don’t want to be get addicted just play one or two hours a day.
Yes addiction is in our hands but in the initial stage as in the start we can have control on our games our emotions and on our money if in the start we decide the timing of our games and we decide that how much will we spend and will not spend any other amount of money which will harm us then we can do while if we get the start without any planning and limits then we will continue like that and a time will come when we will continue to play without any control and will be fully addicted.
120  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Purposes to play gambling, except being rich on: December 25, 2019, 04:45:35 PM
I'm just curious about what people think about their main purposes to play gambling. Usually, we only know that people play gambling because they expect to be rich (earn money). Are there any other common purposes of a gambler why he/she plays gambling daily? Let me know what your purposes are, mate. Thanks

There is not any other reason to gamble apart from the fact that people try to be rich.
Those who say "I am doing for fun" they don't actually do it for fun. They try to be rich from that. Otherwise they might be playing board games or anything other that doesn't require to bet money.
Logically your point of view is right that when people start to play gambling games then they aim for the money to win and many of them think to be rich but still there are some people who are curious about the games there and want to know that how it work. For many people playing with money is also a part of entertainment. They try their skills to see that if they can win or lose money with that skills which also give them some pleasure that is why they come to gamble for entertainment.
