11181  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does hard work in gambling count? on: July 15, 2018, 01:01:11 PM
I am curious to know if someone continually invested a lot of time in studying a game involved in gambling, further if he had played the game a lot to understand the intricacies involved, then can we call him an expert in that gambling game? If we do call him an expert then we clearly differentiate his experience and expertise from that of a novice. This clearly shows that the person is capable of winning more as an expert than the novice who really does not have the in-depth understanding of the play.

This brings us to an interesting question if hard work in gambling really pays off? If one puts in a lot of efforts to understand a game involved in gambling, does it mean that all his time has gone down the drain? Certainly no. If gambling were simply a blind guess or a wild shot then even years of studying it makes it useless because one is simply guessing the outcome blindly. But such is not the scenario with gambling in reality. What makes hard work count in gambling?

This further sets off the question of addiction in gambling. Work can also be an addiction for many. But here the addiction could be for perfecting the game and the art of playing. This kind of addiction is to struggle every time for success by proper calculation and review. However, addiction can also be due to pure greed of winning with no clear knowledge of the game. If hard work counts, then we may actually find a solution for a healthier addiction towards success in gambling.

Hard work won't pay off in gambling no matter what type of game we intend to master. It'll give a comfortable mind when we dealing with the game but at the end, luck will be the last determiner. And unfortunately, no one can master the luck!

I agree with you because it is difficult to get the biggest luck in every time we played gambling and I don't think that to studying gambling cannot attract to become addicting because as far as I know, when we are too close with the gambling, we can have a chance to become addicting in gambling and we don't have a chance to leave the gambling places with easy. no matter how good you control yourself, in the end, you only want to play the game because you are curious about the game and you still want to know more about the gambling.

maybe I need to wait for a while to buy ethereum because I see that the price wants to go down and it is better if I can get more ethereum at the lower price. but if you want to buy ethereum right now, you can directly to buy ethereum before it increases. we have different purposes target buy and we have a different strategy in trading so I think we can decide for ourselves so we can know what is the next step that we should do. although the price now is still in the lower price, I still wait for the price to get down again and I am fine if I need to wait for a while.
11183  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: 5 coins under 10$ that can reach 300$ in future on: July 15, 2018, 05:20:24 AM
There are in fact cryptocurrencies in the top 20 cryptos under 10$ that is very promising that can reach 300$ in the future. I think these cryptos are probable: Lisk, Tezos, IOTA, Cardano, and Ripple respectively and they are my prospected cryptos which i like to have in my portfolio.

you give me another idea to buy lisk and I forget to mention this coins. I have this coin too and I see that this coin have a chance to get an increase too like the other, but it still waiting for what bitcoin wants to do in the next week or in the next months. but overall this coin is good enough for me and I am sure that lisk can be another option for me to buy more. I don't know about tezos and maybe I will search for this coin and if I think it is good then I will buy this coin.
11184  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Why red again. It should slowly turn green on: July 15, 2018, 04:18:06 AM
although market conditions are red but predictions at the end of the year prices will explode high and green markets will occur. this can happen if you look at the condition a few years ago because now this may be many factors that cause market conditions are red and unstable.

we can hope that the market will back to green again and maybe we don't have to wait until the end of the year because so far, many altcoins want to increase although it's not a high price. I think it's enough for us to still makes the profit and soon when the price gets a pump, the price will increase higher and you will make a big profit. I still hope in August, we can see the jump in the price and from that month, we can get the altcoin party again like the last year.
11185  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Nice jump by BTC today! on: July 14, 2018, 04:50:29 PM
Everyone knows that quarter 3rd  and 4th are the best time for crypto market and bitcoin and ethereum break its last high price and create a new history like previous years and i am not damn sure but according to my prediction bitcoin price will reach $30,000 at the last of this year

$30k is too high for bitcoin to reach because we are still in the low price but maybe the price will reach $10k first and then it will go up for $20k and maybe it will happen at the end of the year. in the next year, we can see that the price can go higher than the price now so we still much time for selling at the higher price. we need to hold our bitcoin if we want to make a profit and no matter how long it will happen, it is better for us to stay calm.
11186  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH is the next generation of BTC? on: July 14, 2018, 03:48:23 PM
although ethereum is the next generation of bitcoin, I am not sure that ethereum can compete with bitcoin because of bitcoin still the leader of the cryptocurrency. besides that, people still know bitcoin as their main investment and they don't think that ethereum can do the best things from bitcoin. but I think if ethereum still updating their project with something useful, I think ethereum can compete with the other coins and not to compete with bitcoin because it is too difficult.
11187  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What coin to invest? on: July 14, 2018, 02:33:38 PM
If you have a small amount to invest, then I would look for projects with a small capitalization in your place. But this is a lot of work.

there are many cheap coins price that he can buy and I am sure if he can analyze each cheap coin price, he can find more than three coins to buy. but remember that not all cheap coins price can give you a profit and sometimes you need to wait for a longer time. it is better to choose cheap coins price but it has a fast move in the market so you can get a profit even for just a small profit. I think it is not just about selecting the coin but we also need to think about how long that we should hold so we do not feel that we are only wasting a time to hold the coin.
11188  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Who believes in HODLING? on: July 14, 2018, 01:23:34 PM
I still have some of the coins from 1-2 years back, bought, earned and airdrops. I would have sold but didnt because of market crashes or coin dumps.

then you need to wait for a while because I am sure that in the next months, your coins will rise back to the highest price. I still hold some of the coins too like you and I am not worried if I cannot sell right now because I believe that by holding much of coins, it will give me a big profit in the future. so I still want to hold more coins and buy again if the price is down because I see the big potential of every coin in the market to go up again.
I believe and trust holding strategy, because it's very helpful to reduce risks and big losses. We should educate ourselves and learn to be aware of what's the market movement, in order to determine appropriately when to buy, hold, and sell. Don't panic, don't be too impulsive, learn to control emotions and most importantly be patient, since market is highly-volatile and very unpredictable. It's better that you know how to play the game wisely.
Holding is a great challenge to face when we decide to wait that your coins will have good price in the near future. It's not an easy thing to do, since the market wasn't gaining good pumping price. But once and for all, the opportunity that it has given for us was very big due to current lower prices on each prominent and potential profitable coins to acquire huge value in the marketplace.

I agree and we will need to have the patience to hold and sometimes, we are waiting for a long time. but behind of that, we have a chance to see the price will increase higher in the future so our time for waiting is not worthless. the opportunity will come to us in the future so we can make a big profit. so it is better to still believe in holding because this is our chance to make a profit in the future.
11189  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Airdrop Discussion on: July 13, 2018, 05:48:22 PM
Good day! Some of my friends said its better to do airdrops rather than bounties so I think they are earning big time. Maybe higher than a few thousand dollars than bounty hunters I see here post they earn. Maybe they could earn 6k$ to over 10k$ dollars. Well who knows? Maybe they do? If it does, I'll just do airdrops too. Free money, who doesn't want that.

maybe if bitcoin price can reach more than $10k-$15k, the airdrops price can getting high too but for now, I think it's only a few airdrops that are worth and have a good price. maybe they can collect as many airdrops that they can and save it for a long-term so they can be ready to sell when the price of airdrops increase higher. but still, they need to wait a long time before they can sell at the good price. and if they have a big patient for this, I think they can make a lot of money.
11190  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What do you think of Eth? on: July 13, 2018, 03:12:53 PM
ethereum will increase again and I am not worried about that. I am sure that when the time comes, ethereum price will start to rise and will make a new highest price. besides that, ethereum is one of the strongest coins on the market and before the price is increased, it is better for us to buy more so we can make a lot of profit from ethereum. but of course, we need to wait for a while and be patient because the price will not increase in the short time.
11191  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are Satoshi mined bitcoins owned by the US Government on: July 13, 2018, 12:40:50 PM
we still don't know what is the truth behind this and it still remains a mystery for all of us. but I am not sure that Satoshi mined bitcoins and owned by the US Government and I don't think that the US Government created bitcoin. besides that, we still don't know who is Satoshi Nakamoto, is this person is only one person or a group of the team which doing cryptography and they invented bitcoin because they know that cryptography can give many benefits for all people. I don't think that Dollar will loss huge value and if this is happening, then the economy of the world will be in chaos and maybe it will trigger to the third world. I think let the time will answer all of our questions and meanwhile, we can still trying to make money from bitcoin.
11192  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Facebook is launching '' FaceCoin ''' on: July 13, 2018, 11:27:28 AM
I guess we have to wait for the official announcement of Zuckerberg regarding this issue. From there let us just wait and see what's in store for us with this so called "FaceCoin" because as what i've read on that article is that they have no plans on putting up an ICO. So let us just wait for their announcement.

yes, it is better that we wait for the next news from Facebook or from Zuckerberg himself. and if this is true, then what I am thinking about the past when Facebook wants to ban the ICO pages from their site is only to make their project become a success. as we know that Facebook has many users and this is a potential customer that can join with their project.
11193  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What coin to invest? on: July 13, 2018, 10:18:49 AM
for now, I think it will make us confuse to choose the coin because we have many option coins to buy and although we can analyze one by one, it will need more time to spend and we can run out of time if we are not making a decision. but maybe I can give a suggestion for investing in only top ten coins like other members said so you can reducing your time to analyze and you can make the buy order.
11194  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Share your dice strategy on: July 12, 2018, 03:57:08 PM
Hey guys!
i need some new strategies
my bank: 0.5
share yours  Grin

Hey man!
True  that 0.5 BTC is not small amount. I'll share you on of the best strategy for your bankroll.
Base bet 50satoshi
4.45X Payout,
85% onloss, and you should stop when you hit green and shange your side than start again.
Best of luck Cheesy Wink

yes, it's a big amount for playing gambling and I don't think that you should use that because once you lose, your losses will bigger and you don't have a chance to recover your money. actually, if you are a new gambler which curious about the games, you can use a small amount to play and don't even think to play for a long time. besides that, you don't have to use any strategies because the result is more than 90%:10%.

Dice games can be done without any skills as long as you have a huge buffer, which is your funds. This is purely a game of chance in dice games, but with online gaming the impressive factors was only for the wins but not an exact value if we think about sustainable and sure profit. It's only for fun gaming and not a trusted profit gaining game, and as I've experienced all possibilities will be a lossing bets that doesn't brought you to successful gambling experience.


I don't want to use big funds in dice games because I know the risk of a dice game. we can get a big loss in any second so I need to avoid this so I don't have to lose a big money too. to playing a dice game, I think I don't have to use any strategy because I don't case the winning and if somehow I can win a big money, then I consider that is just because of my luck that helps me to win.
11195  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does positive thinking affect your edge in gambling on: July 12, 2018, 02:48:37 PM
yes, we can be positive thinking if we can control ourselves in gambling but after we got more losses, I don't think that positive thinking will stay with us. I think that positive thinking will leave us because we become curious about the game and want to continue to play the game until we can win that game. and once this is happening, we can lose our confidence in gambling, we can lose our positive thinking and we can also lose our money too.
11196  Other / Archival / Re: Have you ever won a Jackpot? on: July 12, 2018, 01:30:40 PM
I have won the jackpot several times, on microstakes slot machines, so the prize was only around a few hundred dollars. Other than that, I've also won 4 lines on the lottery, winning several thousand, and won $17,000 on a pooled bet at my local Casino, out of which I got about $3,500.
You must be indeed very lucky to have enjoyed a lot of winnngs in your gambling career. I haven't been lucky in that regards at all.

You should probably reconsider your gambling career then. I've since moved away from pure luck based games, to those with a skill element, as it makes winning a lot easier once you've got some experience behind you. Try out poker, you might be surprised how easy it is to wn.

for people which is familiar with poker, they can easy to win the game. but for people which don't know anything, then they don't have any chance to win except they have a good luck in poker. I think in poker, we also need the luck to win although the percentage of luck in this game is not too big besides the other game. and unfortunately, I don't have any luck to win a jackpot and congratulations for people which can win the jackpot and it's better you take the money and leave the game as soon as possible so you can save your winning money.

11198  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do you think the price of BTC will drop to 4000 dollars? on: July 12, 2018, 11:18:34 AM
I don't think it will go that low, hopefully won't go below $5000 but who knows. I'm in for the long term anyway.

BTC has a lot of support around 6K and I doubt it will go under 5K. I am optimistic and hope it will slowly rise to 7K level and from there we'll see how it will go.

although bitcoin has a lot of support, bitcoin can get down too and it depends on how people will react with the news because so far, the news makes people become panic and they do something with instant sell or buy. but personally, I doubt that the price can decrease until $4000 because right now, bitcoin still grows and people don't want to see bitcoin is down too deep. people want to see bitcoin price can rise again and reach the last time highest price in the last year or even more high.
11199  Economy / Speculation / Re: discuss the market? on: July 12, 2018, 08:53:06 AM
June 2018 was a great buying season,
whenever you post your prediction here,
you might want to back your claims.
for example, your analysis regarding price drop.
That would be highly appreciated.

I think we still have time to buy bitcoin because bitcoin right now still in the low price so for everybody that wants to buy bitcoin, then use your chance to as much bitcoin as you can before the price starts to increase again. and once the price is back to the high price, you will miss a good time to buy bitcoin and you can only buy bitcoin at the high price. but actually, it doesn't matter if the price is up or down because you can still buy bitcoin at any price especially if you have a big money to buy.
11200  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Walk of Shame on: July 11, 2018, 01:52:23 PM
Did anyone here have experience a walk of shame (Walking home since you have a loss all your gambling money in just one snap)? Well, It did happen to me once and I'll never do that again. It was the bad year for me (Peek of my addiction), I normally left my atm/credit card at home if I were to visit a casino and have enough money wih some changes for my stay, food, drink and my fare. The first time it happens to me is when I was so frustrated because I can't win up to point I already spent my allocated money for my fare. I was devastated that I need to go home at 3 a.m. with no money literally and I haven't got a phone in me (which make it worst). Started walking from the casino going home it was the longest walk I ever made I pity myself and upon arriving at home my wife and my kids are already awake, I just can't bare to look at them. I don't even know what to say at that point. I just walk in shame, in front of my kids.

How about you, have experienced it? We all have different interpretation on "Walk of shame".

no, I don't have any problem like you because I am playing gambling by online so I don't have to walk home Grin I think you need to make this as your lesson in gambling and you will never do that again in the future.
and if you really love your wife and your kids, you need to reduce your activity in gambling because you know that it's not good for you and you can get the same experience if you still continue. maybe you need to limit your money to play gambling so you still have money to go home. I hope that you don't do the same thing in the future. please send my greetings to your family and I know that they really love you so much.
