I have tried to think what goes through my mind when ever I am trying to place a bet. I think something strange do happen to me and that is I always have this thinking that what if I lose, how am I going to feel! I have never want to lose in my mind I want to win always but I think this is impossible. Gamblers here did you always want to win all your bet? If you win all how will the gambling company makes profits?

Gamblers mindet is to win the game.Sometimes gamblers make greedy if they win,lf possible they want their money to multiply into many whichbrings them to additions that might destroy their life.
Playing when you want to play and when your mood or mind is good the greedy person does't bring destruction to you,as the player must appear in good health and mind to win and that has been applied by the world players.So don't be afraid to lose if you want to win in the game.

Besides that, remember that you cannot always win the game and you can lose all of your money if you become greedy and only chase the money. Take a break is a very good idea to stop your mind from chasing the money so you can avoid losing more money. Don't forget always to control your mind and don't play too long in the games because you can be addicting in gambling.

Yes, I did this, we bet money on the game to guess the top score in a tournament. We call the game "BOMBER" very pleasant. We play this game on PlayStation2. Grin

Once I tried to gamble with my friends when we are playing the game on PlayStation2. We use money as a bet, and if someone can win the game, then he can take all of the money. We really enjoy to play the game especially if we can win the game, we can get that money. But in other time, we only play the game without using money and the bet changes. Who can be the winner, he can get all he wants in that day without any delay.
10663  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Addiction Stories! on: October 21, 2018, 08:40:06 AM
I got a friend who can't live without gambling even for a day,he is much older than me and he is working in a company and getting salary to cover his life expenses but he got the desire to be a richer person so he tr gambling everyday and he hoping that someday he will be a millionare but he is just losing all his hard earned money.

Hoping to become a millionaire from gambling is a false expectance and the risk will definitely be so high. With this hope it means that he will continue to try until his dream is achieved and that can take a very long time. Or even he could fall bankrupt before his ambition were reached.

It will only for the chosen one who can become a millionaire from gambling but for the other people, is only a big dream which they cannot achieve if they don't have luck. His ambition will ruin his life without any chance to get what he lost before. It will never give a good result unless he becomes addicting in gambling.
I have many gambling stories but today I share a short story with you. One day I was on the way to my home from casino. There I met a friend stand in the way. I asked him what you are doing here in midnight. He told me that I was going to home with a lot of money which I won in gambling. Some guys were chasing me because they know that I have big money in my pockets and robed me. Took all my money. Now I wonder what to do. I told him you can do nothing. Just go home.

Yes, that is great advice for your friend. In the end, he was losing a lot of money because other people know that he has that money. At least, he can save his life although he loses his money. Maybe in out there, many people got robbed like your friend because of winning gambling game and like you say, he cannot do anything. Next time, if he wants to play gambling, he needs to ask his friend to go with him so he can have someone that will walk at his home.
10664  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Prices always going down, is investor confidence finally breaking? on: October 21, 2018, 07:36:51 AM
But still, there is an investor that is still buying bitcoin and altcoin because they want to grow the number of every coin they had. They know that if they buy right now, the price is very cheap and with doing some analysis, they can also get a good price to buy the coin. Although the risk is there, I am sure that they can anticipate if somehow the price still going down. The price does not increase too high and not decrease too deep so they can get a chance to make money.
10665  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ICO Investments Why Risky? on: October 21, 2018, 03:13:17 AM
I don't think that to invest in ICO will bring a good profit in the future as we know that today, many ICO has getting scam. And if you want to invest ICO, make sure that you know the details of the project so you will not worry about being a scam. The investment becomes risky because you don't know if the project can reach the success or not and you don't know how much profit you will get. So you need to be careful to choose the project and only use the money you can afford.
10666  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does convince people to enjoy gambling is a wrong idea? on: October 20, 2018, 11:43:03 AM

If a gambler has no source of income then when he becomes addicted he may do crime whether big or small. Convincing people who has no regular income to gamble is a very bad thing to do and I am sure I will not try to implement it.

And if this is what happens with that person, then his addicting in gambling will relate to crime and he will do many crimes to get that money and finally, he can change into criminals. From addicting gambler into a criminal could make him breaking the law and he can get jail. And we need to take a look of the person when we want to convince him to enjoy the gambling games.
10667  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction becomes more popular with young people over time on: October 20, 2018, 09:51:06 AM
Nowadays it is quite easy to indulge in gambling. A lot many online platforms are available and those who are living in jurisdictions where gambling is banned are also able to take part in it through these platforms.

That is right, it's attract more people to try playing gambling especially if they have the internet connection. They can easily to visit the gambling site and they can start to play the games. The younger people with a big curiosity will come to that site and they will play the games because they want to know how the feeling to playing the gambling game.
10668  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sometimes enough is enough on: October 20, 2018, 06:27:41 AM
Online gambling has increased addiction very rapidly.  It's easier then ever to jump out of bed, go on yourlatop and place a few bets.  I have a few friends that are heavy gambling addicts and they all ended up in debt and had their lives ruined.  I'm not completely against gambling but lets not forget how dark it can be.

Teenagers are the one who are really getting targeted easily as they think they can easily make money from this and will have a good pocket money from this forgetting the future what can happen if they lose out all their money and how hard at times it is difficult to make money.


I don't think teenagers are the prime victims here. Everyone who dreams to make big money would get easily seduced by the big wins on casinos. Teenagers may lose their pocket money in gambling while addicted mature gamblers are spending their hard earned money in it.

I agree that teenagers are not the victims but they have a big curiosity about something new and sometimes they are trying to know more deeper about that. And this can make them try to playing gambling and they can attract to the deeper side of gambling and spend more money. Sometimes they can think that enough is enough and they still playing the games until they lost the money.
Yeah you are right teenagers are addicting of gambling and this is not good for overall the whole community. Gambling is the worst thing in the world and when youngsters get in this worst field they even do not focus on their future and most of these young gamblers become criminals because they cannot do anything else without gambling to get money.

It is why we need to take care of our kids to not playing gambling because once they know about gambling, then they will attract deeper to the game and they can become addicting. We don't want our kids to become an addicting person in gambling, and we need to explain to them about the dangers of gambling so they can prevent and take care of their selves.
10669  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think about Bitcoin? on: October 20, 2018, 05:26:05 AM
No doubt with this. More people will come to the cryptocurrency, and they will follow us to use bitcoin and the other coins. Soon, every people in all countries will learn more about cryptocurrency, and they will start to use bitcoin. The mass adoption will grow, bitcoin can recover to the highest price, and we can make a profit again from bitcoin. But there will be any negative news that still doesn't want to see bitcoin grow because they do not believe in bitcoin and the end, they are wrong. Bitcoin will prove to all people because bitcoin is strong.
10670  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: it's time to buy ethereum on: October 20, 2018, 02:29:23 AM
Today still a good time to buy ethereum because the price is on the red again, but I think the trends still on the down so be careful when you want to purchase ethereum. It is better to make much order at the market because we can get the lower price and we can also reduce the average buy price, so we don't have to take longer to sell ethereum. But if you are confident that after this the price will increase higher, then you can buy directly for one time buy order in one price.
10671  Economy / Economics / Re: current situation of cryptocurrency for 2018 on: October 20, 2018, 01:23:33 AM
Maybe we cannot expect the bull run in this year but we still have the next year and the future and I think people can wait until the price is back to the highest price. We have more time to wait for this and I am sure that people can be patient to wait. Meanwhile, they are waiting for the next bull run, they see another chance in the crypto to buy and sell another coin and make a profit and they still trade many coins in a day. I am sure we can see another bull run because we still believe that cryptocurrency can rise again in anytime.
10672  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lost $350k / 54 BTC gambling, need help :( on: October 19, 2018, 06:53:39 AM
You've got the important lesson from the gambling, you won't get a chance to recover your loss. I think you still have a lot of money in your crypto because you still have $1.5 million in crypto and other investments and I think you can do another thing to recover your loss. I hope that someday you can increase your money without playing gambling. I know it's painful to get lost especially you lose more than 50 BTC but the good thing is you still have money in your wallet. Maybe you can take a break for a while, take holiday to another place or enjoy your time with your friends or your family.
10673  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling with normal games on: October 19, 2018, 05:47:15 AM
There are a lot of chances that people can gamble, like when you try a drinking game, where you watch a movie, and you are going to drink when that character do a specific thing or something like that. I have done that, and it's entertaining but it's not that common to do anymore

I have a lot of multiplayer games in my PS4, like Tekken, UFC, Injustice, etc. My friends and I don't go to competitions, but we make our own, we start betting stuff or sometimes just money with whoever who wins the bracket.

Has anyone made a simple competition with friends and won a lot of money? Or something out of the ordinary, instead of playing in the casino but still having the chance to earn money. Share your thoughts.

No, I don't make a competition or join in the network to play with the other people. I remember that I was only playing Need For Speed, but I don't compete with the other player because I know that I don't have a good internet connection because it needs a high-speed internet connection. I play until the end of the game which I became a winner. I heard that some adventure game could join with the network and the games like Warcraft, Dota and else.
10674  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online Gambling Versus Traditional Gambling on: October 19, 2018, 04:30:29 AM
Traditional gambling does have a lot of crowds in it, there are many types of traditional gambling and not just casinos, because any type in real life can be performed at traditional gambling and it will gradually be negatively affected by local security parties if gambling is prohibited in that country . It's very different from online gambling that we can do with just one click and we can gamble calmly wherever we are.
My father is a victim of traditional gambling, you're right not only casino for traditional gambling but in some hidden places also, and it's do by my father in a hidden place with his friends. you're right that traditional gambling is very vulnerable to being called a criminal act and my father was caught by the police because of playing gambling
In some countries some form of games and betting were prohibited so if people caught in that act they will be considered as crimes so we don't have to blame the gamling for that its our fault that we did the wrong thing which is not accepted by our government.

Yes, this is why we need to aware of this, and we can stay away from gambling. But we could still play gambling by online using VPN Grin I think this is what my friends already did and I think so far, my friends can play without any worries except if the cyber police can detect them for playing gambling using VPN.
10675  Economy / Economics / Re: Why I am not sharing my crypto love? <3 on: October 19, 2018, 03:23:33 AM
I wanted to say that I have stopped sharing my crypto interest with close mates of mine.
Because they will became greedy and jealous for that money they could have too.
But the problem is that they are seeing a results of hard intense and long work! My tokens sometimes costed me like 3 months of work, (not the hardest, but anyway).
And the are saying then - teach me how to do that! Teach my now in half hour! So I would have my $1000 tomorrow!
And then they are trying to do something here for 5 days, nothing comes so fast and they give up,
also the relations are harmed...

Thanks for your attention folks! Nice days!

I guess that they only dream because in any jobs or any work, we need to hard work to earn much money and it's not as easy as they imagine. I think they only have a big passion in the beginning and after they are trying to work like what you did, I don't believe that they can survive and continue for what you did and in the end, they will stop. I met that people like your friends and I don't talk too much about what I'm doing in crypto because this will only waste my time and it's better to talk about other things.
10676  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Your Favourite Altcoin in 2018 on: October 19, 2018, 02:12:49 AM
I am trying to buy cashBet, blockparty, propy, odyssey, add more dgb, str, xem, ada, trx to my balance. I have a feeling that some of my coins will increase soon. I've got that coin in the OP coin list, and I am sure that it will rise again. But I don't have ICX, Dash and I have a plan to buy later when I can see a good time to buy the coin. But all in all, the altcoin will rise again in this year especially for underestimate low coin price, and I think the price can increase higher.
10677  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: So, Crypto Market ALL RED Again!! on: October 19, 2018, 01:01:37 AM
And it turned out that in August 2018 the Bitcoin had dropped its price to 5800 USD.
In fact, we cannot predict that because cryptocurrency is pluctuary and cannot be guessed.

Although it's down to $5800, the price now can back to $63xx, and we are now stable at that number. I think the lowest price in a few weeks ago is at $6k and I hope that we are not getting lower than that number. Yes, we cannot predict what will happen later, we can only hope that the price can increase higher after this month. But there are too many possibilities for what will happen with the price in the future, and I am sure that many people predict the price.
10678  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction becomes more popular with young people over time on: October 18, 2018, 06:35:25 AM
I don't agree. I always see more elderly. people in casinos.
The reason is that new generation spends most of their time in computer and online gambling provides them the facility to gamble from their bedroom. Now there is no need to go outside for gambling and the elders will also never know about their gambling. That’s why the number of youngsters increases day by day. They do not understand what they are doing.

Yes, they can play gambling by secretly without anyone know and if they played for a long time then they have a chance to be addicting in gambling and we need to worry about them. So for people who have teenagers, watching your kids and don't let them in their bedroom for a long time and talk to them or discuss anything so they can open mind for something that is not for them.

The elderly people you see in casinos are more likely to have control over their expenses and have not much use for their money. And the daring of youth most of the time makes them prone to being excessive in things that interest them.

I guess so, and they already know that playing gambling is not giving much money to them, so they don't use big money to play. But for younger people, they can become greedy especially if they can win one or two times of the game, so it will make them wants to chase more money. It will not be good for them because they can lose their money and they will regret after the losses.
10679  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why not play games online instead of gambling? on: October 18, 2018, 05:30:13 AM
Many but not all gamblers are claiming they gamble for fun and pass time. I was just thinking. If it is the reason why people gamble then why not play online games? There is a lot of good and challenging onlne games wherein you can interact with other people online?

I know some of my friends playing both online games and gambling game together, and yes, they are fun and enjoy the game. But they say that they cannot get something different from the online game than the gambling game. They want to know about the lucky so they play the gambling game and they can accept if somehow, they cannot win in the game, and they only get the loss.
It's different obviously. I mean, most of people playing online game because of fun and hobby, some of the games also not pay to win, so they can play it just for fun. On the other hand, gambling game is about money.
I am not addict of gambling but I know that gamblers cannot leave gambling easily as I am a smoker and I smoke for the last 19 years but now it is difficult for me to quit smoking. Gambling addiction is also like drugs addiction and cannot be leaved easily. Social mobilizers, friends and especially family member can help him in quitting gambling addiction.

I think when someone wants to quit gambling, and he feels that is not easy, maybe he needs to talk to other people so they can help him to solve his addicting. I am sure if he can talk with the right person, that person will help him to get out from gambling and leave the gambling forever. I have a friend that is addicting in gambling too and fortunately, he can talk with his family, and his family is happy to see his decision to leave gambling and still support him to quit gambling.
10680  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Addiction Stories! on: October 18, 2018, 04:28:34 AM
Just curious to read some addict or former addict stories and probably some of us like me will be glad to see how things actually did roll in for them during this period and I believe some other persons tending towards that path can also learn from it. Also, if you have a friend or relative you can speak for, it would be appreciated.

Personally, this is what I would like to know though.

1. How did you find yourself ending up to become an addict? What instigated it to the point that you just found yourself not being able to control the impulse any longer? What was the feeling like and during those period of being an addict, did you know and were you willing to pop out of it?

2. What were the steps you took or the steps you are taking to get out from it, and on the scale of 1 to 10, how can you rate how you are doing now?

3. For those who are out of it, do you still gamble or still wish you could? In the case where you are still gambling, how do you want to make sure what happened initially does not end up repeating itself.

4. Any other thing you feel you can add is welcome.
Gambling addiction stories . in gambling addiction no one can stop you even of you don't have money you will find a way to have none and plate gambling but this is bad to your health yoi can get a sick because of gambling.

That is why we need to remember that we don't have to play gambling for a long time. Become addicting in gambling is too dangerous, we can get broke without having any money plus we don't have any chance to recover the money we used to play before. But maybe we could still play gambling to get fun with our friends, and of course, we need to know the limit of time and money we should use so we can prevent to lose all of the money.
