Mathematically everyone loses in the long run. This is because of the fact that there is a house edge and the chance or possibility of winning is bigger for house.  but we can counter this buy time cutting, meaning play and when quit when we are winning.
it's really easy to say like that , but can you make sure when you quit now and then in the next days you will always win before get busted? i don't think so , gambling didn't work with that way , it's always about 50/50 chance no matter if you face with a 1 percent house edge. that's my point of view by the way.

It is game of chances however we know that it wont really work. We could say that if we play with a chance of 98 % chance to win all the time, it will be easy to avoid that 2 % chance to lose. Imagine the chance, it is really low and when we play we know that it happened alot and make us lose most of the time
That's where good strategy comes in, if you manage to do your best thing everytime you gamble, then you would see how it improves your chances in winning. Maybe you can try the first times, bet high and with a large amount at 95%. It's highly unlikely that you would lose the first time. Then lower the amount and continue to bet, and as you go further, wait for that losing moment then try it again.

I've read here a lot about "Gambling doesn't make you rich" So I thought about it, and it does make sense. So what do you feel about gambling then? Just entertainment? I think that's not everybody's mindset.

In the back of my mind, I want to be rich but not because of gambling. But when I gamble, I still always want to win. So when you always win, you become more rich and more risk will be involved. Anyway, if I would earn a winning bet that would have a lot of profit from, I would withdraw the initial bet or the bitcoins I deposited to get it back, then still gamble.

If you would have a winning bet that would give you a lot of profit, what would you do with it?
If ever I win a gambling I'll put 50% at my bank roll, 30% for my savings and needs. And 20% for an investment. I want my funds in gambling to be huge but I won't bet a huge so that I can earn more from gambling without being bankrupt.
That's somewhat for the small amounts I guess, when you win x2 or x3 your bankroll. But if you hit a jackpot, there are lots of possibilities that you can do with an enormous amount of money. What do you think about that? It's not safe to play anymore for me if I win a large amount, it's really hard to lose everything after all the things that you've done
10063  Other / Off-topic / Re: What is Your Favorite YouTube Channel? on: March 06, 2017, 12:37:52 AM
There are a lot of good YouTube Channels that are really funny and educational. Most of the time, I watch videos that are educational coming from Ted Talks, Ted X, ASAPScience, etc. I love learning new stuff that I don't know about yet and some that I'm just curious. For entertainment, I watch the channel of EmergencyAwesome for reviews and top 10 easter eggs from Marvel to DC universe. Anything comics and some about Game of Thrones, etc.
10064  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you Rich from Gambling? on: March 06, 2017, 12:33:17 AM
Well i think the people that actually become rich in gambling are those who expect nothing from it. Luck basically is the key factor if someone is going to be rich by gambling. It may come but to very few people only. If we want to be rich, i think we have to set gambling aside and work hard for it.
People don't gamble because they don't expect anything, they gamble because they expect/hope they will win money.

I think it is possible to get rich by Gambling. But i don't think it is a easy and good idea because we all know that gambling is not fair. It has a strategy and it is very unfair.
Gambling is fair, one side will always win. Strategy can be good or bad, it can't be unfair.

First, you will gain and gain but afterwards all of your earnings even if it is doubled or tripled will lost until nothing will left from your earnings.
It's pretty much how house edge works. In short run you will win, and in long run casino will win.

But ofcourse if you want to get rich you need some strategy and you have to know when to stop gambling if you're earning.
If you stop when you are earning, than you wont become rich, right?

Yes it is true that if you want to be rich from gambling you have to keep gambling untill you won big. You can also chase your whole life away like that. It is up to each person to decode how much money and now far they willing to go to win big. Some hive up some keep going. Some win some lose. You can't know. Also one mans "rich" is not the same as the next man's "rich".

But getting rich from gambling will also need big capital to invest as you can never become rich by gambling with a small amount and if you loose then it will make you loose everything in a single day and I don't think everyone can afford to take that high level of risk so only rich person can become rich with gambling as even if he loose it won't affect his financial status as he knows that he have enough money behind that can take care of his living.
Gambling is somewhat an investment that you are ready or should be willing to lose from. There's no assurance that you can win and hit the jackpot every time you gamble but if you play regularly, you could. The risk you are going to take when playing in a casino or online casinos would be really high, and that's the challenge, you won't get rich if you're playing safe in some way because you would be betting small amounts, but if you bet big, the winning prize would be high but the risk is also high. There's no win-win situation, just luck based and applying strategies.
10065  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What would you do with your winnings? on: March 03, 2017, 10:00:23 AM
If I win a large sum of money from gambling on accident or something then I would just invest it in something that will appreciate in value over time.

I will do the same too. I will not use all of my winnings to gamble again, i may left some but mostly will be going to be invested in a trusted site or other.
Gambling do not ensure the profit in the future, investing does.
I agree with that. Knowing what to do with your money is definitely going to define you and your riches. If you are saving, you should save enough in order to invest not just save in order to save. You should let your money flow and try to invest in things that people has belief and hopefully, it would rise in the future.

Hey guys, I'm a fan of playing Tetris ever since it was released. I tried the old times like in the Game boy or in the IBM PC version. I studied different tactics like 4 space, Stacking, and my specialty, T-Spin. It's so fun with all the colors (when it has colors now not just shapes). It's fun.

Have you played it? And what is your playing style?
10068  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you use analysis when play gambling? on: March 03, 2017, 07:43:51 AM
Just want know how much the gamblers who use analysis when play gambling and what kinds of gambling game? And do you think it is needed or not making analysis on gambling game or it is depend on lucky. Thanks for share your opinions and experience.
Yes I used it when I played sports betting, especially poker card game that is definitely needed in the games, for to have a capacity to win the game rounds to defeat my opponents.
I have analyzed the teams to bet on in a sports betting site and have achieved at least few profit because I stopped already. It's fun to see how you are going to gamble especially when you are just for the first time. In my experience, the chances of winning could be increased when you analyze and be patient with the game itself.
I have proven again today that with good analyses you can win games, actually I bet on NBA and of the three games, all home team win.
The only lose I have is on the Warriors, they are overrated without Durant but still I was able to ride thinking it's an easy one.
Two teams with the Suns and the Blazers were winning bets, so I guess spending a little time to analyze would help you win games.
Well that's good to hear that you won almost all of your bets. There are a lot of things that you could do in order to make your winning rate higher. Predictions tend to be out of the blue and it doesn't seem to work out always. Analysing can benefit you soon.
10069  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you know when to stop? on: March 03, 2017, 07:41:02 AM
I think that you should stop if you feel that gambling takes an important part in your life, in such a case you should stop as you don't want yourself to become addicted and to lose more money then you planned to bet on or you could afford to lose.
For a gambling addict he does not feel like gambling is consuming his life.Some one has to inform him about his disastrous life and the problem he is facing .I used to gamble a lot and i used to lose a lot and come back again to recover the loss but now a days i shifted my focus to something else than gambling.If you keep on loosing just get out as simple as that.
The only thing that could REALLY help him is HIMSELF. An addicted person can see what he is doing, understand what he is doing and know what he is doing so he should know the right and wrongs of his actions. If it affects the relationships that the person has and delays everything with his priorities, then probably corner him into treating himself. If he doesn't want to, then don't help him anymore unless he's a family member.

Kyrie Irving believes that the earth is flat. Why not believe in something or I don't know. I just think that the earth is still an oblate spheroid. I just want to see a scientifical truth somewhere here.
10071  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you know when to stop? on: March 03, 2017, 07:08:06 AM

If you think that can't control you then, you should always deposit only small amount for that session and start playing it. Then you know that you deposited only small amount so can enjoy these games without worrying that how much you lost. If you load more money and want to control yourself while playing then most of the time it is difficult to do it and we will exceed our daily limit.

Sometimes people might want for more wether they win or lose. People that cant control themselves should not be gambling at all, there is a huge chance that they might be ruining themselves soon afterward. Unless it is your last penny that you have for ganble, you might ended up looking for more

in different place different people are using different analysis and different counting to predict about the right time to start and stop gambling. but i think that for an addicted person it is one of the most difficult job of the world to stop gambling when you realize that it is the right time to do so and that is the reason that bitcoin become more destructive for us.
It depends solely on the person on how he or she will stop in gambling. You will never know that if you are already satisfied on what you won already or if you lost everything and want to regain it back. If you need to consult others, go because it's you, only you who can help yourself get back up and prepare for what's to come.

There are a lot of strong women who believes in Bitcoin and actually talking about it. How the blockchain technology has improved our lives and how easy it is to send money from one place to another even in international roads. For example, Bettina Warburg. She's a women who knows how it works and how it can improve our society.

Right now, my smartphone is Samsung Galaxy A7 2017. It serves me well, takes good quality pictures (especially the front camera which is also 16 mp) and has a different filter built in with the camera app. The phone is also IP68 certified, so it's okay to submerge it underwater up to 1.5m and 30 minutes. It's a good phone.

I'm a woman. How do I tell my husband about Bitcoin? :-D It's the same?
Probably the same thing as this topic suggests. It still depends on what you are doing with Bitcoin and what are you using it for. If your husband supports you no matter what, then it would be really easy for you.
10075  Other / Off-topic / Re: what will you do when you are in a bad mood? on: March 03, 2017, 06:45:22 AM
If ever I'm in a bad mood, I will try to calm myself down naturally. Breathing deep and exhaling helps boost your mood. Other things that I do is listen to music and sometimes play games in order to forget my current situation. If the problem is not a big deal, then just let it go, but if not, just face the music and apply the right strategies.
10076  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to play gambling in a smart way? on: March 03, 2017, 06:43:34 AM
A very basic but the most difficult part in gambling is to have a control on how much in a day you can lose it and go away . The moment you lose out this control is the time when losses start getting bigger to cover the loss and make profit . If you can make this in your favour you will be in better position any time .

Being smart also means being in control. Meaning, a gambler who is in control don't aim to win as big as the jackpot. They want to win smaller at a time so when they lose, they only lose small too.

It takes time to learn it, and it needs a strong will to refuse and resist everytime you feel like you want to rush or gamble more.
If you know what you will do in certain times and different scenarios, then you will probably know the strategies that you are going to do. People are going to look at you as a very lucky player but in truth, you just know what to do, you analyzed and conquer the game. It takes time, really, to be really good at something and practicing it is key.
10077  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: March 03, 2017, 06:41:40 AM
i love gambling esp that BTC price is just gambling in a way also!
It's a double risk but it offers great rewards, therefore we should be careful with selecting our bets if we are using a good amount of money to bet.
There's plenty of games in the internet now and you are right that kids learn how to gamble and because of the convenience to do that brought to us by bitcoin gambling sites, kids nowadays are at risk of being addicted.
The potential risk in gambling is way larger compared to trading. The rewards of it are always looking good, but the chances of you are winning that is extremely low. It's hard to teach kids on what to do in gambling but, it's not recommended also because you will never know what will happen to them if you expose them to that environment. You might just lose the kid over money.
10078  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to play gambling in a smart way? on: March 03, 2017, 06:31:34 AM
First thing is we all should know is that, gambling is for fun not for making profits. But still if you want try your luck some times than you should load money, which you can afford to lose and don't gamble emotionally instead for each game you fix maximum loses. Once you reach your loses, just accept the lose and gamble after some time to try your luck again. Don't ever try to chase profits in gambling. Good luck to all.

Definitely you are right pal, but the problem with the gamblers they cannot accept easily the lose they faced which is most often lead them to played more in the game and continue to do gamble in the gambling sites.
That's what I do when I try to bet. I try to deposit what I can afford to lose then hope that I could win a profit from it. It's really sad if I didn't get to make a profit but it's okay because I gave what I can afford to lose. Gambling the right way makes it possible to earn a profit and just don't get emotional because it might lead you to the wrong things.
Actually no one want to loss his money because everyone has need to earn money , but here even a new person who enter in the gambling when returned with the loss then again he will go for the gambling for the profit , but when if he returned with profit then again he will go to make more profit .
So all these are greediness of our mind to make profit and recover loss that makes us pure net loss . Here it is more better that we hold our Bitcoin for long time instead to remember our loss for long time Tongue
Of course, who wants to lose money anyway? Only rich people are really playing for fun and they are the ones that just enjoys gambling. They would just easily earn it back again from their ownership, business, or something. It's for the profit always and you will never know what can happen in the future so just try to give it your best in gambling and applly certain strategies and you can try to profit.
10079  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is better? To gamble or to invest? on: March 03, 2017, 05:51:52 AM
I think investing is more risky than gambling because most of investing websites are just scam, but in gambling you have better chances to make your bitcoin grow. How about you guys what do you think?
In the current time both of them are equally risky . So if your are going to do anything between the two then you have the same risk in the both case .
Here in the present time gambling may be result into the best thing because in gambling we can play with our luck and the stretagy of maximum winning , so here it is better to make gambling with your Bitcoin.
Opposite of this you have an option of investment in practical life project and the future of the project is looking bright then you should make investment instead of gambling .
If you happen to be the luckiest person, you might end up having the best time of your life. Winning a jackpot can be possible, the chances of you making it home with that jackpot money is significantly small, so if you're really lucky it would be the best. If you are planning on a sure thing, then investing in the right places would be the thing for you.
