10781  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the highest lost you have made as gambler? on: September 26, 2018, 05:51:53 AM
I played more different games in gambling but my huge lost is in dice game i do not know hum much the exact amount but it more or less 1 bitcoin but the value before is not more than 1k dollar, yes of course the regret is there if i save that amount i am a millionaire now. And now i do not engage in gambling anymore.

I can say that my big loss is in dice game too because I don't play another game except for dice and fortunately, my losses are no more than $100. I know that if I use my balance, I cannot save more bitcoin and this is why I only depend on faucet from the gambling site so I can play in anytime. I don't want to get lost anymore especially for using my balance but I can accept my loss if I play the game using the coin from the faucet Grin
10782  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you reccomend family and friends to join the market when it's crashing? on: September 26, 2018, 04:43:33 AM
Some of my friend who is new in the crypto was bought bitcoin with small money in a few days ago at $62xx, and now the price is up, and he asks me when he can sell the bitcoin. I told him that he can sell it whenever he wants especially right now, he makes a profit, and it is up to him what he wants to do. But I suggest to him to be patient for a while, and I think it is better to sell it right now while he can get the profit and he can wait for another down price so he can repurchase bitcoin.
10783  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are you doing with your bounty tokens? on: September 26, 2018, 02:29:53 AM
I think people were selling their token when it's release on the market so they can get the profit by getting ethereum and they can hold or sell the ethereum. But some of the people trying to keep the token because of they sure that the token price will increase in the long-term. I think it depends on what strategy we want to use after we receive the token and maybe we can sell some amount of the token to make a profit first and then hold the rest of the amount. At least, we can get paid first after what we did with the project.
10784  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: You cannot win in gambling on: September 25, 2018, 05:26:03 AM
I just had a really bad day gambling today with Roma losing a ticket for me and their odd was 1.20 and they were playing against the last place of Italian Serie A. I thought a bad day and move on and played another ticket this time I choose Brondby as they were playing at home against a team they had beaten almost always and the odd was 1.35. This was even worse as Brondby lost 2-4 at home to a team quoted from the bookies at 8.5

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.

I think you have to view gambling as entertainment rather than a way to make money. I gamble knowing that the odds are against me and I will probably lose a little. If I actually have a winning week, I consider that a pleasant surprise.

I think it's better to use gambling for entertainment only and don't have any purposes of trying to win the money because it's too difficult for us especially if we don't know how good our luck. Like the other people that use gambling for fun, I always enjoy the game, and no matter what I've got in the game, I can leave the games in any second because I know that I cannot always win in gambling.
10785  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling addiction mainly due to loneliness and dissatisfaction? on: September 25, 2018, 04:23:19 AM
some gambling cases could be due to loneliness , but majority don't . people get addicted to drugs to escape away from reality , they don't want to face their troubles in life . So addiction leads to loneliness not the other way ! .
I think this kind of discussion needs a supervision of a suitable specialist not on forums where anyone can say random words.

It's still better to discuss with this kind of issues to also help other gamblers to narrow down the main issue of being lonely which leads to addiction. Addiction is a serious matter which needs to be handled by some specialist and you definitely right with your concern.

I don’t think everyone who does gambling is addicted because of loneliness and dissatisfaction. Orhers do it for recreation and self enjoyment. The feeling of satisfaction upon winning a game cannot be measured by any means. Addendum to that excitement in winning is the fact that you double your money in your money pot which will prolong your time in the gambling house.

Many people playing gambling because they want to know about the games and they are playing the games with their friends too. People like this don't think too far about the games, and they only want to enjoy the games and the chat box so they can talk with other people. The satisfaction here doesn't mean they can win the games and the money, but they can meet their friends so they can discuss anything and play together. But maybe some people are playing gambling because of loneliness and dissatisfaction, and they can feel better by playing gambling. We still don't know what people purposes of playing gambling and we have a different opinion on this.
10786  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: everything will be ok. trust in crypto. on: September 25, 2018, 03:22:46 AM
Yes, there are many investors who have lost confidence in cryptocurrency, perhaps because there are currently many ICO projects that have ended, or many investors have suffered losses, so investors are leaving the cryptocurrency at this time.
maybe many investors are experiencing losses with the current situation but if before investing all investors understand and know the magnitude of the risk in investing confidence and patience is a very important capital

I think if the investor can choose the right investment and not just selecting ICO projects, they don't have to lose confidence and even they can make a profit from the investment programs. The investor attracts to the ICO investing because of they know that many people can get a profit from the ICO, but suddenly, many ICO projects are stopped or cancel the programs or even run away with the investor's money. But soon, after the crypto can surpass this moment, the investor will come to the crypto again although some of them still trying to survive and they will start to make a profit again.
10787  Economy / Economics / Re: Why do you think the market is down right now? on: September 25, 2018, 02:21:50 AM
After a few days ago the market trying to getting up and makes some coins increase higher, today the market is back to the regular movements, and all coins don't move too fast. Maybe the altcoin and bitcoin waiting for the next good moment to start to rise again so many altcoins make a step by step movements before it increases higher. The percentage of every coin is not too bigger, and the spread of every coin is not too significant, and I hope that this week, the market can rise again like the last week. But all in all, I think the market is stable, and maybe we can see some surprise from the altcoin and bitcoin also so better you prepare.
10788  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Do you still belive in Crypto ? on: September 25, 2018, 01:18:53 AM
Like other people, I still believe in crypto, and I want to follow the crypto journey. With so many people believe in crypto, makes crypto stronger and people give their support that makes crypto still exist. Cryptocurrency is a new technology, and it will reach all people in the world so they know and they will use crypto as we did. The crypto technology will grow fast in the next future because there will be many other technologies like blockchain technology that will contribute to the cryptocurrency itself.
10789  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcoin Casino Question on: September 24, 2018, 08:31:29 AM
We started https://dice-bet.com/ with about 40BTC and launched 5 days ago ---> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5032129.0

Will be interesting to see how it all goes.

Wow, that is so much amount of money you use to start the gambling site, and I think the question about how much bitcoin we need to build the site was answered. So for people who want to start the gambling site, make sure you need at least 10-40 bitcoin, and you need to promote the sites to the public so they can visit in your site and try to play the games. Thank you for telling us about the amount of bitcoin you use to start the gambling site.
10790  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sometimes enough is enough on: September 24, 2018, 07:29:51 AM


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.
10791  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction becomes more popular with young people over time on: September 24, 2018, 06:09:16 AM
I have the feeling that  this is becoming more of a trend now with more young people and more time on their hands, they can easily be turned into such societal orders, taking up gambling.

I think if this continues, there will be more addicting gambler from the young people and they are difficult to leave the gambling places because they still want to make money from the gambling games. Maybe they are like playing gambling is because they can play the games in every place they want and right now, they can use crypto for the bets, so I think they don't have any problem if they're going to play the games. But we still need to explain to them that playing gambling is not good for them and it can make them lose big money and they should listen to this if they are a concern with their own life and their family.
10792  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will you invest in ripple ? on: September 24, 2018, 05:09:02 AM
It is sometimes wrong to use past successes to predict the future in cryptocurrency. Ripple recently spike 20% and such sudden gain could be as a result of manipulations! Do your due diligence with every investment!

As long as we can use ripple to gain more money, it will good for us too especially if we have another ripple in our balance. Sometimes, we can check what is happening in the past because the past can give a good clue to us and sometimes, we can see how much the price can increase. So I think if ripple can increase until 22k in the past, at least, the price can reach 20k again in the future and perhaps it can reach more than 20k. But we have different analysis to predict the price, and we can prepare for the best price that will comes later.
10793  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is one and only no matter what on: September 24, 2018, 03:06:25 AM
In my books bitcoin is one and only no matter what people say and or how they try to manipulate situation. I KNOW what bitcoin is what it stands for as for rest ... meehhh...
I will take into consideration something else when I can exchange it 1 bitcoin = 1 (something) .... but until that day Bitcoin is the king baby Smiley 

Its true, i am still believe on bitcoin. For many years, bitcoin proven give best profits and i think its best long term investment. I am believe holding for more 3 years will be great and i am believe bitcoin price will reach highest again

Yes, this is why many people still hold bitcoin since a long time ago, and I know that they were making a lot of money in December last year, and when the price is getting dump in this year, I am sure that they can get much of bitcoin and then hold it again like before. I believe in bitcoin, and I am sure that in the end, bitcoin will increase higher and gladly, I still have some bitcoin and I waiting for the next highest price. Maybe this year is the best year for people who want to invest their money because they can buy a low price like in the past and they will get a big profit in the next year.
10794  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why not play games online instead of gambling? on: September 23, 2018, 05:39:00 AM
I am trying to play games online instead of gambling and I enjoy to play both and in my opinion, both games online and gambling have a different feeling for every person. some people prefer to play gambling because they can make money IF they can win the game but the other people don't want to lose the money so they prefer to play games online. playing games online and gambling online/offline can be a solution to enjoy our time in our free time so we can relax from what we did in every day and sometimes we can release the stress that we have.
Not just some people like you say, many people still prefer gambling rather than online games because they can be fun and can make money, the charm of money is too great for all of us, the resistance is useless, just play and have money, that is the dream of so many people. Casinos understand and they use our psychology to make money for them, many people have been unable to escape when engaged in gambling, that is also what happened to me in the past but fortunately, I was able to stop in time and move on to healthy activities and games

Yes, it is true, but the problem is they continue to stay at the gambling place and still playing the game although they are getting big losses. They feel too difficult to leave the gambling place and makes them getting more in-depth in the games, and they forget that they have another thing to do and not just for playing gambling.

I glad that you can stop in time and leave the gambling games so you can move on to the healthy activities and you can spend your time with someone you loved. I hope that many people can realize this, so we are only playing gambling for getting fun without thinking about how to win much money from gambling because that is too difficult for us.
10795  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does convince people to enjoy gambling is a wrong idea? on: September 23, 2018, 04:48:49 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.
10796  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What we need to consider in case of investment in this platform? on: September 23, 2018, 03:45:44 AM
You need to determine how long your investment and what you want to do every month, for example, maybe you can add more amount of every coin you have or you can sell your coin when the price can increase double from the early price you bought. One thing that you should remember that you don't have to be panic when you see the price is falling and only make a buy again if you still have money. This is important for you because if you panic, then your investment cannot works for the future and your plan will disturb and maybe you need to change your plan to another plan. Don't attract to other people listen before you research on your own so you can know what exactly you need to do.
10797  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: LIKE IT OR NOT, BITCOIN IS AN INVESTMENT on: September 23, 2018, 02:45:20 AM
For now, I consider bitcoin is an investment which can give me a profit if I hold it for a while and bitcoin can also be traded with other coins and bitcoin can provide another advantage. I don't know if there is any people don't like bitcoin and I think that person cannot see the benefits of bitcoin and he cannot make any profit from bitcoin. But I believe that in the future when bitcoin is available in all country, and we can use bitcoin for anything, then people who don't think so with bitcoin will trying to join, and finally, they will use bitcoin too.
10798  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will you invest in ripple ? on: September 23, 2018, 01:43:52 AM
I already invest in ripple, and I already sell some amount of ripple when it reached 11k satoshi yesterday, and I made a nice profit again. I glad that I can start to recover my money although it's not fully recovered and I can do this by selling some ripple, and I still hold the other amount for the next high price. And since yesterday until last night, I try to make scalping trade, and it gives me some extra profit because the price moves to the high price again and I stop when I see that the moves are not fast. And now, I am waiting for the next waves for ripple, and I hope I can get another profit like yesterday.
10799  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you still continue? on: September 22, 2018, 06:28:54 AM
I prefer to go home, because playing in depressed circumstances and limited money is not very good. Better the remaining money available for the cost of going home, we can continue to gamble at other times.

Yes, it is always good if we can leave the places and going to go home to take a rest especially if we get the loss. But the curiosity of getting lost will come to us and keep telling us to still playing gambling. We need to have a strong heart to end the game and walk away from the places without a look back because once we do this, the chance to come back to that game will bigger and we can lose more money. There will be the other time for us to playing gambling and perhaps we can get the luck to win the game.
10800  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction becomes more popular with young people over time on: September 22, 2018, 05:26:10 AM
Maybe the young people think that they can make money from gambling because they see that many people still playing gambling without stop and perhaps they are curious about this and getting try to playing gambling. But I don't think that all of the young people try to playing gambling because I believe that there are the young people that will stay away from gambling games and they better do the other thing that can give them the positive impact. And I agree that playing gambling cannot solve their financial problem and even they can ruin their lives too in the short time and in a long time.
