10701  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.
10702  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.
10703  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.
10704  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bull run can be surprising? on: October 18, 2018, 03:27:21 AM
Many people are waiting for the bull run, we don't know when it is going to start but in the current situation of the market makes us think this year there won't be any bull run. The price of bitcoin is kept decreasing even though the price will increase.
yes i am one of people who believe that crypto will be bullrun surprisingly. but i think it wont be in near future
we have to be patience, the price decrease at this time. including bitcoin.

Although the price decrease, we could still trying to make a profit. And if you take a look at the market, you will find that the price still up and down every day. It is good for us because we can always buy the low price and wait for a while then if the price increase, you can sell the bitcoin so you can make a profit. There is no need to worry about bitcoin price because in the future, the price will increase again and we can see that the price will break the higher price.
10705  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Coins with a very low price and small capitalization investing on: October 18, 2018, 02:25:50 AM
It is very risky to invest in such projects. It is much safer to choose a well-known coin and invest in it. However, if you are lucky. then you can make a very good profit with a little-known coin.

Yes, it is very risky to find that coin. You never know when the price can increase and how long you will hold the coin. It is better to find another coin which has the potential to rise, and the coin has a solid team. I guess that we should choose from the coinmarketcap list than to find the coin with a very low price. But you can try that especially if you have a lot of money on that site so you can have more option to invest your money in cryptocurrency.
10706  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: The market is moving up on: October 18, 2018, 12:38:27 AM
I see that the new coin has started to rise and it makes me curious because the old coin has trying to increase the price but it's not too higher as the new coin. And if I check on bittrex, this new coin already increases. I hope that after this, the old coin can follow to increase and I am sure that the time will come for the old coin to recover the price. But so far, the market seems stable and I think there will be a surprise on the market this month.
10707  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online Gambling Versus Traditional Gambling on: October 17, 2018, 07:39:00 AM
of course its now allowed, thats why my dad got in jail. I learned from my father's mistakes. I will not do gambling offline or traditional because it is illegal here. they will catch you if they know there is gambling in one place. but by gambling online at any time. they will not be able to catch me

That was a sad story, and I hope that you can avoid the same mistakes. When we are playing traditional gambling, we need to know what is the status of playing gambling in our country, so we don't break any law. And this is the important lesson for every gambler that still plays gambling in the country which gambling is forbidden.
10708  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crime Effect of Gambling - Your thoughts! on: October 17, 2018, 06:30:56 AM
Yeah maybe if the influence of gambling is already very bad for them. they can do anything to return to gambling like what drug addicts do. because addiction is a disease. You must have heard gambling addicts or drug addicts steal money only to get back to their addiction activities right?

Yes, that is right. The gambler needs to know this, so it doesn't have to become addicted. The player will not only lose the money but perhaps, the life and the family too because I heard that there is a person that gets lost everything he has and he cannot stay to lives. So this is the important lesson for every people especially for a new gambler, try to not playing gambling every day because it's too dangerous for your life and your money.
10709  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Addiction Stories! on: October 17, 2018, 05:29:11 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.
10710  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto for travelling on: October 17, 2018, 03:24:23 AM
I agree. Also, it would be so convenient for those from countries with weak currencies. My friend from Thailand always has to buy US dollars first before travelling, in order to ensure he could easily exchange currencies. There are money changers that are very picky when it comes to exchanging currencies. Cryptos can help solve this inconvenience, right?

With crypto, we don't have to convert to the local currency because we can use crypto to buy something in another country without worry if we cannot find the money changer. We only need to carry crypto in the flash disk or Android phone so we can scan the barcode to pay the product or we want to use to transfer to other people. I think there will a coin that has a purpose for travelling so it makes us easy if we want to go to some places.
10711  Economy / Speculation / Re: What to expect from Bitcoin in 2018? on: October 17, 2018, 02:05:13 AM
For me i don't think that btc will go down because it has been stable at the same price for months so who knows what will happen after that. but people said that it will go back to 20k by the end of this year like last year. hopefully.

I hope so and in a few weeks ago until now, the price still stable at a price now but we need to still careful because the price cannot be predicted and we should be aware if there is any down movement for the price. It is hard to know when it's up and down but we can stay calm for a while and not panic because we still want to wait for the increase in the price. Many of us still predicting that the price will increase in the next month until the next year but we don't know how much the increase in the price.
10712  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My experience in the cryptocoins on: October 17, 2018, 12:47:01 AM
This year is tough for us especially for people who already join in the bitcoin at the last year. They buy bitcoin at more than $10,000, and suddenly, the price is down too deep and now still down. But from this month, the price seems to move up and try to search the higher price. And if everything goes well, then we might see the rising of the cryptocurrency at the end of this year or in the next year although it is only expecting to see it increase later.

And if you still want to invest in bitcoin, make sure you know how much money you want to invest, and don't be panic if you read the bad news because this is what's going on in the cryptocurrency. And if you can stay calm in every situation, then, in the end, you might see your profit will come to you and will give a lot of money.
10713  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: You cannot win in gambling on: October 16, 2018, 08:28:31 AM
Now I am not an expert in gambling but this day was a really eye opener for me, you can never win in gambling. Imagine when you can't win in lotto , soccer betting or whatever you call it, you don't have a chance in slots.
It's gambling, you lose some and you win some. Luck will always be a factor in gambling. If luck is on your side on a particular moment then take advantage of it cause it will not last long. In gambling your loses is much higher than your winnings so don't think gambling as a main source of living.

And sometimes, you will lose all the money you have because you are too greedy to chase the money. But you cannot recover in gambling because you don't know when the luck is coming. But still, you can enjoy the game although you get to lose Grin Be careful because you can become addicted to gambling and you will lose everything.
10714  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does positive thinking affect your edge in gambling on: October 16, 2018, 07:25:03 AM
Some people think that strong feeling affect the outcome of your bet. But for me its all about luck., what do you think guys.

For me it is a big yes because we all know that being positive always give you the positive vibes too. Being a positive person always put you in a good situation. You must know how to act positively so that the outcomes of your actions are also positive too. And positive mind will give you the edge to have enjoyment and happiness while playing. But ofcourse be sure to know when to stop. Smiley
I think positive thinking may affect our life in some ways but not in gambling, it is about luck, if you think positively, unfortunately your luck in a game doesn't change.

That is right, and I agree with you. It is better to use positive thinking to the other things so we can get success than to use in gambling because it's not changed our luck at all. We can have positive thinking, but we cannot make our luck in everytime so no matter what you are thinking, if you don't have luck, then you cannot win that game.

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.

Yeah, I know it's different but they still playing online games and in other time, they still playing gambling too. I don't know what their reason but I think as long as they can enjoy their time, they will still do both. Maybe if they are bored with gambling because they cannot win the game, they will stop for a while and only play an online game to get fun and enjoy the game.

Casino games are interesting because its about money. No online games offer money for just playing the games. While, casinos offer games where we can actually earn money or lose it. Let's look at the bright side, people would be very much interested in things where they could double or triple their money.

I am not sure about this because I am not a big fan of online games. But maybe there is an online game that offers money to win some stage, or there is a contest for every player so they can win the money. In the casino, we will lose the money as you know but to win the game and the money, I don't think that we have the luck to get that. Yes, I agree with you that people will be playing with some game because they have a hope to win the money.
10716  Economy / Economics / Re: How does bitcoin become a currency? on: October 16, 2018, 05:20:38 AM
so far I've only seen a few crypto actually used for payments in online gambling. indeed functional enough to improve its function, but crypto is good to be used to buy legal goods.

Yes, but we can also use crypto for buying a product in the online store, and I think in the country which crypto is accepted, we can also buy something in real life. Maybe we need to wait until the government can approve the crypto to use as a currency, so we don't have to worry if we want to use to buy something. I hope that in the future, bitcoin and local fiat can walk together in the economy of each country so the crypto can be used in all country.
10717  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is this the end of the Bitcoin?? on: October 16, 2018, 04:10:06 AM
By seeing the chart people said that it as a fall in the price I guess this may be the end

Bitcoin will not end or die, bitcoin still have a long journey, and it is a start for bitcoin and the altcoin. But if you mean that this bear market will end, then I am sure that it is going to end, and the rise of cryptocurrency will come to us. Make sure that you read on the other post because all people still believe that bitcoin will rise again. The cryptocurrency will go back to the high price soon, and we can only prepare for that time, and you need to prepare too if you want to make a profit.
10718  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: india's new cryptocurrency on: October 16, 2018, 02:13:21 AM
I don't get the point on why some countries are planning on making their own cryptocurrency. One of the main selling points of most cryptocurrencies is the decentralized aspect of it. A country's government making a cryptocurrency defeats that purpose. This is probably just a way for the Indian government to make more money.

But anyway, what do I know. Haven't done research about this yet.

You’re right. What’s the point of having a digital currency if we don’t take advantage of its virtual and decentralized nature? However, do you think the world is ready to have a global currency?

Perhaps, this is how they want to show their power to other countries, and the government wants to follow the cryptocurrency journey, and finally, the India government create their cryptocurrency. But I think some of the countries are ready to have a global currency although the other country still researches about cryptocurrency. And if the India government succeed to do this, I think the other countries will follow, and the coin list in the coinmarketcap will grow bigger.
10719  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How many hours a day are you spending on online gambling? on: October 15, 2018, 04:53:06 PM
~snip

Playing online gambling or traditional gambling in less than an hour is good especially for new people who want to feel the gambling games. I also use less than an hour as you, and I don't spend too much money because I know that playing gambling is forget fun although there is another activity that I can do to get the fun. It is fine to test your luck and never think of the winning in the gambling games because we don't have a big chance to be the winner.
I think it's different when you are playing online and playing traditionally. For online, less than half an hour of playing would be excellent, more than that; you might lose a lot of money there. If you play in a landbased casino, thirty minutes would not be enough; I just think if you drove all the way to the casino (assuming you live 15-minute drive or more), the time wouldn't be worth it. But the most important thing, in my opinion, is that you have bankroll management. I bet everyone would agree.

Yes, I agree that we need to make bankroll management so we can control the money at least, we can play without worry. But all in all, it is better to play not more than one hour or less and doesn't use much money. Perhaps if I can feel how to playing traditional in the casino, I think it will be different than the online gambling but the point is the same, we can lose the money no matter how long we played. Besides that, I think it is enough to play online gambling especially for new people who don't want anybody to know if they want to feel playing gambling in the online gambling site.
