Gambling has some benefits, but there is a lot of propaganda out there that condemns it just because a few people get addicted to it, but to deny that there are some benefits is a mistake, if you play in a physical casino you'll find friendly people there and you can make new friends, sometimes you can even make business contacts by going to the casino, that is in fact a very common practice in my country where two businessman after making a deal go to the casino to celebrate, also if you like to make sports bets you'll soon understand that you will need an advanced knowledge of mathematics and probabilities to become a winner.
Gambling has definitely a benefit and that is when you win a bet of huge money, quit gambling immediately and never come back to gambling. You will be successful. You took advantage of gambling. Now if you continue you will lose again and it is because of the greed for more and more money. Don’t be greedy and be positive and serious in life.

But unfortunately, we cannot win a bet, and we cannot get much money in gambling because we don't have any chance to see our luck comes or not. Maybe we can say that the benefits of gambling is we can enjoy various games in the gambling places, we can meet new people and talk to them or discuss anything, we can learn about focus in one game. But the one thing that we must remember that playing gambling can make we lose big money so we need to know when we should stop from the games.

If you are a true degenerate, than you are definitely familiar with the concept of “burning out” when it comes to gambling. We’ve all been there before, but for some of us the experiences are much more eye opening than for others. This is a tale about a time where wagered amounts that were way beyond what anyone would consider an “acceptable” gambling budget based on the amount of money I had at the time. Nevertheless, I will begin by telling you that sometimes you are just forced to go to a casino because that’s where your friends just so happen to be meeting up.

This is a story of one of those nights. This is a tale of a complete and utter degenerate gambling night, one in which there was lots of beer, coffee, comp meals, and visits to the ATM involved.

https://degenbet.com/sometimes-enough-is-enough/

Being a gambler is definitely a risky one because we all know the attitude of some gamblers that makes them loose all of their profits and money and sometimes even their belongings if they are uncontrollable. Gambling is a risky thing if you not know how to control yourself. You must know your limits and avoid being greedy because it will lead you to bankrupt.

If people can have a self control then it is easy for them to gamble and even stay away if the need be. But those people who do not have a control on their emotions and become greedy in life to earn the money from gambling this is issue where people starts getting addicted to it and lose the money in process.


Yes, we have seen many people losing their emotion control in gambling, and suddenly they lose their money too. In the first time they played, they can control their emotions, and they can leave the gambling places. But soon, after they play for some periods and they can win enough money, they attract deeply to the games and they still playing the game and finally, they cannot control the emotion, and this is the way for them to lose all the money.

Sometimes, we forget to think about enough is enough because we are too greedy to chase the money and only make us lose much money. Maybe if all gamblers know when they need to stop the game and realize that they have their time to play gambling then maybe they can see that enough is enough.
10763  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how much would you pay for a lottery ticket? on: October 03, 2018, 05:42:59 AM
Well,  for someone like me who is always careful or skeptical when I'm playing lotteries I won't want to spend anything more than between 1000-3000 Satoshi.
I would not want to go more than this either. It is always a good thing anyway to play what you can afford to lose and as least does not make it over affect your pocket. Everything is still all about luck and even if I want to put in 1sat and then luck still decides to shine on me, I would still get lucky than someone who put more than 500000sats. The highest I have ever gone on lottery was 5000sats at once, and I really do not always expect so much anyway. Even if your chances increase by getting more ticket, it still does not mean you will have it at the end of the day.
You are right, it is all about luck and I don't want to go more than 3000 Satoshi because probably I could not win.

Then you don't have to play the lottery if you don't want. You can play the other gambling games, but still, you need luck in the game so you can win the money. I think less than 5k per lotteries like I said before because it will attract people to try their luck in the games because they are hoping to get the big prizes. But always remember that only use the money you can afford, and you need to get ready when you lose.
10764  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do you start trading? on: October 03, 2018, 03:36:35 AM
i think  trading  is   to  risky  at first  you have to search a lot and  you have  to  know the fake coins but it is going to be a good strater with trading.
Trading is a very risks before we start to do it understand and learn the whole process in crypto. Yes with so many fake coins shit coins exists search to avoid these. Never invest nor start trading without learning first otherwise you will lose.
the first thing to learn is understanding of trading and the risks. because i see many who already trade, but they don't understand trading. they only reflect on income of traders who have been successful

They don't learn about trading so they cannot make any profit. I think many of us start trading because we are curious about how to make a profit from trading. But some of us want to learn more about trading and some other don't want to learn and only follow the sign from other people which is not legit. Make too many mistakes in my first time trading and choose the wrong coin but soon, I realize that I need to learn something so I can pick the right coin and try to make a profit. So we need to always learn in trading, and we can improve our skills to better than before, and we can make a profit.
10765  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Crypto world vs Fulltime job? to establish better life. on: October 03, 2018, 02:28:49 AM
To me cryptocurrency work is far better to full-time job and we should expect the market to grow in years to come.  Many are developing income from internet and cryptocurrency market provide this platform.  I don't think we can have more best time to learn about cryptocurrencies and make a living through it than now.
as long as there are opportunities, use it. i think both are as good. i keep working real, even though results are small. besides that i can still work on cryptocurrency, because my working hours are a lot of free

You are doing good to earn money, and you now have another source to make more money from the crypto world. But you need to learn more if you want to earn money in crypto because, in crypto, you cannot always see the chance to make a profit except you have a big list of profitable coin in your balance. But you have a chance to save more and more coin, so you have a good coin for your investment. We can stay in the crypto world and use it as our fulltime job, but we need to have skills so we can make the profit and we can fill daily needs. But if you cannot make a big profit, then it is better to stay with your fulltime job until you can get profit daily or weekly from the crypto world so you can be retired from your real job.
10766  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: You cannot win in gambling on: October 02, 2018, 07:44:43 AM
You can win in gambling but the chance are lesser than loss so make sure that you've prepare enough that do not gamble more than you can afford to loss.
Personally, I'm gambling just for fun so it's make me safer than getting addicted

Some people cannot prepare for the worst thing, and they continue playing the game until their money is empty. The chances to get winning in gambling is not too big and I think every people who play the game know about that but they still played. Maybe they are sure that they have a lucky part in the game so they feel confident and they think that they can win in the next round. But unfortunately, this is far from what they think, and the loss of the money is the next thing that they will get later.
10767  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Beginner's Luck on: October 02, 2018, 06:12:08 AM
I am sure that there is luck for the beginner in a gambling game, but most of them don't have luck in their first time in gambling. so base on your story, you have a big success in your first time, and you can win a lot of money.

for my first time in gambling, I don't have big luck, and although I can win the dice game, it doesn't mean my winning money is big. at least, I can get my money back so I can come back in the next day. and yes, I believe for the beginner's luck in gambling and it could happen to anybody.
I agree, i also believe in beginners luck, I've known some people who wins on their first bet of the game. I think they are just lucky enough to win in their first bet of gambling. I don't win in my 1st bet but there are still a lot of who believes in it because they've experience it. So nothing is wrong believes in beginners luck.
That certainly happened to me in my first ever betting game and the mistake that I did was that I bet a small amount of money and therefore didn't win much at all , the subsequent ones haven't been easy and you sometimes witness teams like Lebanese beating Barcelona which makes no sense at all.
There is nothing else with beginners except luck. They have no gambling experience and skills, so they cannot win the game without luck. But I want to tell that beginners should only play easy and simple games like dice games. It requires no experience and tricks. Only luck will favor you. If you are lucky you will win the game otherwise you will lose the game.

But don't play too long in the dice game because you don't know when your luck will go and makes you lose big money. I think dice game is the easiest game in the gambling games and I am sure that the beginners can play without any problem and I know that some of them have big luck in their first time in gambling so they can get the win. But they need to be careful in the next round if they still play because their luck will not stay with them for a long time so use the time with wise.
10768  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why shouldn’t we be concerned? on: October 02, 2018, 03:48:10 AM
Why shouldn’t we be concerned? Seems like everyone on here is extremely confident will see a bounce back to the December highs and then surpass them, but this dip/crash is now 5 months long. So I’m curious as to why so many of you are confident?

Because I think the cryptocurrency will increase again after it decreases for a long time and we are in the downtime for almost one year. And if we check what was happening in the cryptocurrency so far, the price always bounces back to the higher rate, especially if the price is down too deep like this year. So I think it is good if we can be confident to wait for the price to bounce again even if we need more time to wait and I am sure that many people still believe that the cryptocurrency will be recover soon.
10769  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How long do you plan to hold on to your top Cryptos? on: October 02, 2018, 01:40:53 AM
Not all the coins are worth of long term holding. I am holding only top coins like BTC, ETH and ADA  long term until
they reach  my profit targets. How long will it take we will see.

Ofcourse I too do the same as I always give prior to the top 10 coins as I feel this as a comfort zone. Somehow their value will grow automatically in the last quarter this is how it is happening every year. So I strongly believe in this. Now ripple is trending this year it is a wonderful show and a good news. Money matters well that's the thing in cryptocurrency.

I am holding my bitcoin for almost 11months now but it seems that my coins doesn't show any development, in fact it decrease already to 70% and I don't know if it can still recover. I will just wait until december of this year and if nothing happens i will withdraw it and will stop doing investment here.

There is no guarantee when the market will fully recover, but we can try to improve our money by doing trading. I think the decision to stop from the crypto is not a right decision because you can hold it until the next year while you can try to search for a profit. But it's your calls and before you decide, make sure you think about that, so you do not regret to get out from the crypto. Many of us still waiting for the market to rise again and they believe that it will happen soon.

If a person has the self discipline in life then everything becomes easy as they can control their emotion and greed. Greed is the biggest factor that drives in gambling and this can actually make you poor if you keep on playing it.


Apparently, greed is too difficult to control, especially when we are at gambling places. With so many people getting bad results because of gambling, it is proof that greed is a frightening specter. Even though someone is able to control himself until now, but it is possible to get out of control at a later time.
Yeah in my opinion it is very important to fix a gambling limit for yourself and never cross that limit. Continuous gambling will ruin your life and even the lives of your family, because the end of gambling is always in loss. Gamblers never take money back to their homes. They always lose all their money and the reason is continuous gambling. Gambling time is also necessary.

I will call that thing to know that sometimes enough is enough and we don't chase the winning money as we know that is very difficult to get. We don't know when enough is enough and if we continue to play, then there will be a big chance to lose more money and in the end, gambling can ruin your life which we don't want to get this. By controlling ourselves, we don't have to save our money, but we also protect our lives, and we go back to our home without any feeling.
Yeah its all about greed and greedy person can do anything to make money, but at the end he always in loss. When you win some money in gambling, try to leave the place or if you play online gambling, shut down your computer and do not play the same day. You will be happy for the rest of the day. Regular and addicted gamblers lose everything because of the nonstop gambling.

Leaving the gambling places after we can win some money in gambling is always be a better solution but the problem it is not easy to leave the games because every gambler is tempting to win another round. They still want to chase the money by playing one round again and then IF they can win again, then they will leave the place. But they do not realize that it just attract them to make a big loss in one shot, and they don't know this, and finally, they are still playing the game until the last money they had.
10771  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how much would you pay for a lottery ticket? on: October 01, 2018, 06:50:14 AM
I think 5.000 satoshi per lottery ticket + bitcoin fee is good for a start and I think it makes sense and maybe you can add a big prize for the winner. For the fee, I think it depends on each wallet we used because I see there is any different fee that we should pay for each wallet. But I leave the lottery game since I don't have any good experience to win in that game, maybe the other people will get their luck work on this game.
10772  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: gambling ends on: October 01, 2018, 05:48:17 AM
Gambling is difficult to stop since, in every place, people know how to play gamble with the various game. Gambling is more than just a game and for some people, they still playing gambling even they only make more losses because they don't have any chance to win. Many people become addicted to gambling, and if they don't know how to stop gambling, then gambling will still exist for a long time. It needs discipline from all people to stay away from gambling so gambling slowly can stop because not many people were playing gambling and it makes the revenue of the gambling places is reduce.
10773  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Eth falls on: October 01, 2018, 03:41:57 AM
I saw this morning prices still ranged from ethereum $230. This price is even better than last week. Indeed the price of this falling ethereum. but it has already started to increase little by little.

When I check on bittrex, the price is at $233, I see the price changes and it seems, the price wants to try to increase. We can hope that this week the price can break $300 so it can go higher in this month. But if the price only increases little by little, then I think we need to be patient for a while because soon, the price will increase. I am sure that we will see the pump again soon so we can make a profit again like before. Although in this year, we are in the lowest price, the ethereum still survive and still try to increase back.
10774  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does convince people to enjoy gambling is a wrong idea? on: September 30, 2018, 06:53:21 AM
I felt guilt for convincing the people to come into gambling when some of my friends I invited them for gambling got addicted very soon so we need to pick the right kind of peoples for making them gambling if we have the poor people to make into gambling then it may affect them and their family life.

So I think you need to help your friend if somehow he becomes an addicting person in gambling because you are the person that convinces him to enjoy gambling. Maybe he cannot get what the meaning of enjoying gambling and makes him continue playing gambling and makes he lose his money. No matter what, he still your friend and it is your duty to get your friend and leave the gambling games. And if we want to convince people to enjoy gambling, we need to select who is the right person that can know what gambling games are so he can avoid becoming an addicting person in gambling.
Yeah you should feel guilty because convincing people for gambling means you are committing crime, not everywhere in the world but in most of the countries. You should do opposite of this. You should try to prevent gamblers from gambling and tell them the bad consequences of gambling. It is much better to convince them for some positive and respectable work.
I think you should serve your energies for some good work instead of wasting time in convincing people for gambling. After doing this work they will become gambler and you will be their boss. You are thinking to be the cause of gambling in your community. Think better for your loved ones and not to bring them toward gambling which is not acceptable to respectable people.

This is why that we need to take responsibility for people that become a gambler, and we need always to remind them to not playing gambling every day. We still need to watch them, and in their side, in any time they played so, we can tell them that their time in gambling is enough and they need to leave the game. They will accept for what we did because we want to make sure that they do not become an addicting person in gambling and besides that, we don't want to see they are loss bigger money.
10775  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which casino game gives you the best odds of winning? on: September 30, 2018, 05:50:34 AM
In your opinion, which casino games do you think will give you the best odds of winning? I have always favored the Roulette table's dozens, columns and colored bets to cover a lot of numbers with a few wagers. Blackjack is OK also. I think that Slots gives you the worst odds which probably explains why a large chunk of a casino's profits is from the slot machines.

I don't have any chance to win the roulette, and I don't have any experience or skills to play that game. I agree that slots didn't give any winning but sometimes we can win if we have luck and in the past, I often to play slots but in the end, I move to a dice game and I like to play this game. Although I don't have a big winning story in the dice game, at least I can play the game without any problem, and I don't overthink about the winning.
10776  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how long you can stay without gambling? on: September 30, 2018, 04:49:57 AM
Can't, when I was under the influence of gambling, every day I gambled and tried to take a vacation to not gamble, but in reality people who have become gambling addicts will find it difficult for him to stay without gambling. As long as he can have the capital to bet, gambling will not be cut off from his life.
Sad but true. when you still have money in your wallet you will always think of going back to gambling even when you already have mind not to gamble because it harms you. but once again the desire of a gambling addict is difficult to get rid of and you want to continue playing gambling every day until your money runs out

I agree with you, and he cannot stay away from gambling in any second unless he doesn't have any money in his wallet. And if he still did this in the future, I guess that he cannot save more money and he will get broke in the short time. Maybe I can give suggestions not to don't even think about the gambling itself, and I know that he can do it because it's about how we manage our mind and with doing many things in our day, I am sure that he can stay without gambling for a long time.
10777  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: XRP beat ETH on: September 30, 2018, 03:42:25 AM
Although ripple can replace the second position at the coinmarketcap, I guess that ripple is too difficult to beat the price of ethereum. Ethereum itself will be back to the higher price, and I am sure about this. There will be a good moment for ethereum to lift the price and with the ethereum price now at $231, and I am sure that it will break the higher price. But if we can take the profit from both ripple and ethereum, it will be good for us because the profit will bigger than we can imagine.
10778  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Stop panicking start believing! on: September 30, 2018, 01:33:24 AM
Start believing will be better, and we must stay away from panic because it does not help us to be patient to wait for the price and the market. Panic will only make another loss to you, and even you cannot recover your loss before. And if there are many people can stay away from fear, the recovery will come, and soon, all coins can get back to the higher position, and we can get the profit again. Many people actually, waiting for the market from the recovery but there are many people don't have the patience for this, and they still panic seeing the market moves. So we need to start believing the market, don't panic, and soon, we can make a profit again.

I just want to know how you feel when you get a big win from the gambling you play, I know that feel is definitely fun.
But, do you feel or ever assume you are a gambling expert after you get a big win?
Then what kind of gambling has made you think of yourself as a gambling expert?
even just playing gambling feels really fun hell even winning makes it better, no i dont think any of that i just think im lucky being to take a huge win, usually i come back and lose it all that's the kind of expert i am.

It is better to feel lucky than to feel expert because this can make us become overbearing. And if we feel overbearing, then the next, we can be greed and then it is time for us to see that in the next time, we will get a big loss.  I think if we can win big money, we are considering that our luck comes to us and help us so we can be the winner and take home the money.

In the games on online gambling, I am not spend too long, but if in the chatbox, I can stay for a long time, and sometimes I spend more than one hour to talk with other people. I know that if I spend too long in online gambling and play the game, I can get lost too much money which I don't want it. I think it's good if we only spend a short time to play the game and then we need to get out from the site to continue another activity.
