Houston Rockets 118 - 87 Oklahoma City Thunder

A 31-point blowout, what's up with that?

I'm a fan of OKC especially Russell Westbrook. But with this game I'm very disappointed but on the other hand, I'm happy too. Why? Because the OKC shouldn't be always hoping for Westbrook to be on beastmode, each of them should contribute for their matches to come. This is a good lesson for the whole team and congrats to Rockets.

I would suggest sports betting. As its more safe and roughly you can make a guess if you understand the game. You can win big amount in sports betting easily no need skill no need strategy.

It will be only safe if you are going to bet for the games that you really know. But if you don't have an idea on what you are doing it's better not to treat sports betting as the easiest way of making profit. If you want to be an easy goer with gambling then you should gamble and your capital will be coming from faucets.

We encourage the local businesses to accept BTC by promoting the advantages of this currency, like for example; in the future we don't need cash as currency instead of cash we buy any things they want using online market. And we need a currency as trade for some goods and it is the BTC.,

This is going to give them advantage in the future if they are going to try to adopt bitcoin for their business. And it's better to say too that this type of currency is very unique to others because the value of it is getting higher and higher as the day goes on. Since they are businessmen, when they here about profit, they will get interested to it.

Its a unique currency but the fact is not many people are aware about bitcoins yet so I don't think that they will be using bitcoins to make a payment as to do that they also need to have bitcoins in their wallet and merchants will accept bitcoins only if its an profitable for them.

If the businessman is just for the uniqueness, technology and other way of paying his goods and services, then he will grab and adopt bitcoin. But if that businessman have a close mind and he really don't understand what bitcoin is, he will going to ignore it even you will show him, how bitcoin is a very good help for his business.

13705  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: April 17, 2017, 09:00:50 AM
For me i found it addictive because gambling offers me fast money with my small amount of money and it gives fun and entertainment to me.I mostly gamble on times that i want to have some enjoyment.

It is one of the reason why gambling is addictive, if ever you got enough profit on it. You will going to take that again and will have the confidence that you can win again for the next tries you will play. And that's why gambling is addictive because it gives a lot of attraction for gamblers even though, you are not addicted, you will be encouraged to gamble if you see others success.
13706  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is it a sin to gamble? on: April 17, 2017, 08:46:11 AM
It is sin for me, but not for you. According to everyone, the situation is different. For a person who is generally religious, gambling is a sin, for example I can say sin according to my desire.

For example, there are some religious days in our country and it is a great sin to play gambling these days. He also encourages a bigger sin if he plays in regular casinos.

Most of us that are believing in God, gambling is a sin. And for others that are addicted gamblers they are going to say that gambling isn't a sin because they are not committing crime. Also for the places or cities that gambling is a crime then we can consider their law about gambling, so it depends upon the situation.
13707  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin better or paypal? on: April 17, 2017, 08:33:11 AM
For reliability and best performance? of course paypal is better, for low fees and being decentralized? of course Bitcoin is better. also paypal doesn't print money they just process and transfer it but Bitcoin doing everything on it's own.
It's upto the user of it to which they prefer. For US citizen ofcourse PayPal is better than Bitcoin because they don't have to exchange and easy to understand but I think here in East I would prefer Bitcoin instead of PayPal because withdraw amount is low and now I am use to of it..

And since we are in the bitcoin forum, of course most of us are going to go with bitcoin. Although there are times and transactions that we still need to use PayPal, I would say they are both good and I love to keep on using them. But right now, I want to stick first with bitcoin since, my client is at vacation and I don't have any freelance work for now.
13708  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit Gambling for Good, think for your loved ones on: April 17, 2017, 08:20:09 AM
I think no one should rely on gambling to make a living, it is a risky thing and never heard anyone become rich with gambling, but I think using your loved as an inspiration to stop gambling is a good idea, but to really stop it need more than that

It's hard to do that but it's very easy to say that no one should make gambling as a source of income. Because most of the gamblers are used for making it as their way of living while having fun. But you need to think if your family is already affected with your addiction, you should stop that a little by little for your own good.

Actually, I realize every gambler know that gambling is not a source of income. But instead of it they are using gambling for earning wise. Whenever they need money than they try to play gambling, and try to earn from it. No doubt it is risky and in a second we waste our money. But i think if mostly gamblers play gambling for income wise, than may be gambling help them and also their family.

Of course most of us knows that gambling isn't a source of income but still there are a very few people that thinks it is a source of income. And they are treating as their main source because they don't want to work harder for their living. Those people will have hard time to tackle and quit with their addiction but for us who understand it, that will be easy.

You can only mine when your electricity price is lower than $0.07. Otherwise, it is better to cloud mine.

I don't agree with it, there is nothing better if you are going to say, it's better to do cloud mining. It's better to quit for real and stop because you are just going to be ended up scammed by that website and let's learn from the past incidents of those early cloud mining sites that runaway the funds of their investors.

Basically every cloud mining site will eventually close its doors, or they will 'legitimately' void your hash contract(s) where you end up with nothing if the service in question sees your contracts as not profitable anymore. I doubt in current times that anyone will ever see 50% of his initial investment back. All odds are against the end user. People who are still willing to "invest" in cloud mining are basically agreeing to something called capital destruction.
That's their last resort if they are seeing that their investors are just collecting hash power and has a very good rate, they will void it for real or they can just simply run away for real and will let the site keep on running without operator and admin to support for the queries and answering the problem of their investors.
13711  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling sites and bitcoin addresses on: April 16, 2017, 01:09:28 PM
If you are worried about sabotage because of the generation of the bitcoin addresses to deposit for the gamblers. If that will happen, a gambler can complain that they already deposited btc to that address and of course there's always an agreement between the casino and hosting providers, I don't think an employee will play dirty as what you are thinking.

A malicious hosting worker can change these bitcoin addresses.
For example your bitcoin address appears in your user panel. The hosting worker can change the site's source code. When you enter your own panel, you can see the btc addresses that the hosting worker puts on.
It can do this for all users. And everybody sends the wrong address btc.

I know that they can do it. But of course a company will hire those employees that has followed the etiquette and required attitude for them to be able to get hired. That will be the negligence of the company if ever their employee is going to do this crazy thing, they are the ones that will need to cover and pay for the damage. But I really don't think this is going to happen.
13712  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do any people gamble under the age of 18? on: April 16, 2017, 12:53:29 PM
Many people under 18 gamble and they think it is an "investment"..

I think it's opposite, those who are over 18 years old are the ones that are thinking that gambling is an investment. And yes, there are a lot of people that are gambling even they are under age. And most of them are thinking that it will be a gateway for them for another opportunity and can give them a very fast profit that can make them rich.
i think it is illegal in all over the world to play gambling if you are under age. but still  people try to find way and play gambling, and specially in backward countries the trend of playing gambling by teenagers is more that modern countries.

It might be illegal but still there are young ones that are gambling while hiding. It's a very common thing to those societies that doesn't care for the youth ones that are addicted in gambling. If dark market places is very common, there are places that are the same places such as like that for the young ones to gamble.
13713  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to Turn Gambling into a Profitable Activity on: April 16, 2017, 12:34:48 PM
The only way to turn gambling into a profitable activity will be to first play a game that can give you some kind of profit at all, and one of the few games where that is possible is poker since you are not playing against the house but against other players.
Yes it's kind of true when i played poker against house my wins were less but when i tried playing other players i was in a better state. The only problem is I'm not an expert in poket i just know the basic rules so i think that can be the reason for my loss.

Somehow you are right folks, poker is one of the best game ever and you really need to compete against with your opponents because in this game. This can be a very profitable game and you need to have enough intelligence for playing against other players. This is a good choice to turn gambling into profitable activity.
The problem with all of these things though is that for there to be winners there have to be losers.

Poker sites might have some people who aren't intelligent enough on there, but in most cases the better you get the better everyone else is because everyone is looking to be too professional.  It's like the race of Bitcoin hashrate.

Not all the poker players are professional enough and some of them are just good in bluffing. That's why you need to become good in everything there, you shouldn't be that brave enough all the time in poker because you might become a victim of bluffers, they aren't intelligent enough but you can be fooled by them.
13714  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Do you see alts have chances against Bitcoins? on: April 16, 2017, 11:27:39 AM
I have been seeing Bitcoins' price rising with a stability in its growth, but due to the higher mining fee that is being levied on transactions these days, big businesses are now moving their funds towards alts and taking advantage with their least fees as well as shaping a completely new economy in the trends of altcoin markets. Do you think this may harm Bitcoin's dignity and open up a chance in real for alts to rise?

Chances of alts to rise is there but you don't have to worry about it as most of us are making bitcoin as our main crypto. And the whole market is centered for using bitcoin. What big businesses you are saying that move their bitcoins for alts? Most of the businesses will always remain with bitcoin they don't want to take the risk.

For me, bitcoin is too expensive. I've been looking at the alternative technologies to see if I might be able to get in on the ground level of something great. So far, I haven't invested in anything yet, but I have a couple I've been watching very closely.

It's too expensive for now when you just entered bitcoin for a while. It's up to you if you haven't invested yet, because it's your responsibility to make sure about what you are doing. And for those that you are watching, what are those alt coins? I believe that no one can against on it because it's truly a very strong coin.

13716  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to make a good amount with 0.01BTC? on: April 15, 2017, 09:17:46 PM
I think it is better to do it in trading rather than gambling,
You are just putting your money in a risky game for me it is safer to make some profit in trading.

This is what I'm thinking too because that amount is already good for buying cheap alt coins that can have a chance to pump and after that pump just sell it out and repeat what you have done. I also think that if you are a very good poker player and you know how to read some bluffs of other players, you can grow this amount.

13720  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Opportunity is here?? on: April 15, 2017, 02:21:51 PM
It's better just to keep on believing and trusting bitcoin. The opportunity is already given by just keeping your coins at any of your storage, web wallet, cold storage. But with op's suggestion of converting it to some other alt coins, for me, it's a good idea as long as you know what you are doing and you are also ready for taking the risk.
