For the traders who have big capital in the trading it is very much possible to their part. But for the ordinary community in this industry including myself its impossible to be happen that things to me for now. Smiley

It's not that to dream that we can reach this goal of having 1,000 bitcoins. Since I don't consider myself as early adopter of bitcoin because the price was already high. I'm dreaming that I can make it before I grow older and believe that bitcoin can be a good source of my everything in the future and my total assets will be 1,000 BTC+ with the price of $1k+

-snip-

that's only the way I think it is giving them a reward that they can't get in gambling , or challenging them in a way they really want for them.it is really hard.to  encourage people who doesn't want to here things from others and just want to rely on themselves.

It's not easy to ask someone and encourage them in quitting. But if you will give them some reward, I guess they will pursue and beat your challenge that way and also another thing is that you are encouraging them to quit. So it will be a win-win situation for both of you and at the same time you helped them to quit.

bounty system won't possibly not work since theirs a big possibilities that if the bounty rewards will end gamblers will cameback to play their old games. And i think the best thing we can do is to advice those gamblers to minimize their game and tell them how worst it would came when they wouldn't stop their bad tantrums. Although our advices will not work but surely they will realize in the end of the game that our sweet talks at them is truly nice for their sake.

It will still work, don't think that way because you are going to practice his friend to quit gambling. And I don't think so that he will just take the challenge for the bounty because if that is so, he will refuse the challenge and just go back with gambling. It can make his appetite to loose in gambling if he didn't gamble for a longer time.
14123  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: February 25, 2017, 11:55:30 AM
Gambling be positive when a person needs to take a break or recreation, and gambling becomes negative if they become addicted because they take your time.

Taking away time is not wrong at all. What is the real serious threat that gambling can cause is that it took away your financial ability. It can make the whole family get into dire situation and may even need loanshark or law to step in. Countless of families have been broken up due to gambling.

It will be wrong if you are putting too much time on it. And when you are focusing into it and almost all your time are already allocated into it for sure you are doing it wrong. Just learn to moderate the way you are going to gamble so that it cannot make your move as a wrong one and no one will be your critic if you know how to do it properly.
14124  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you know when to stop? on: February 25, 2017, 11:35:23 AM
I think that you should stop if you feel that gambling takes an important part in your life, in such a case you should stop as you don't want yourself to become addicted and to lose more money then you planned to bet on or you could afford to lose.


I don't that's the right term but you should stop if you make gambling kill a lot of your time for doing more important things. Also another thing is that you can stop anytime you want to, it's either you already you win some or lose a lot. Just simply stop if you think that you are not feeling well with and that's the best way to know it.

14126  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What keeps you coming back??? on: February 25, 2017, 10:48:26 AM
Well my reason for coming back on gambling is,
I just found it fun to play and it gives me thrill plus even if I lose too much I am happy every time that I win some,


I'm coming back slightly with fun but the real reason I'm coming back is it's really making me want to recover all the lose that I got. Though I know the risk that it can be more and or even lose my whole bankroll. But I'm doing it a little by little or maybe it's already a habit to me but I'm still in control for doing it so.

But if you're coming back to gambling to recover back your earlier losses then it is very dangerous. Because no way we can recover our losses and you need to be extremely lucky to happen that. In this process you may lose even more money and also you will not enjoy the games also. So just gamble with a small amount once in awhile to get fun and if you're lucky then one day you may win a significant amount.

I know it's very dangerous that is why I'm recovering it a little by little. And I don't recover it fully on a single day or week. I am coming back to gamble for fun also and hoping a chance to recover some of it. I do believe that it is everyone's aim that is why most of us are coming back though we promised not to.
14127  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can we encourage anyone to develop self control in order to minimize gambling? on: February 25, 2017, 10:36:23 AM
That's not impossible to encourage anyone to have develop self control and in fact self control is in your nature as a person.

It will always be a possible thing to encourage anyone to help an addicted gambler to develop self control.

Well having more worst experiences of losing in gambling could probably make you realize in along run that maybe you need to have it.

It's for real but I don't understand addicted gamblers because they are thinking about recovering their losses.

One way of encouraging a friend or any person who you happen to know is divert him with any sports activities and other pleasurable things in order to shortened his time priorities which affects hus gambling schedules in any time of the day.

I find a way to encourage them to quit, make a challenge to him and tell that if he is able to make the challenge which is not gambling for a month or two, then you will give him a reward.
14128  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Giving up gambling is not easy on: February 24, 2017, 11:30:03 PM
It's why most of us are being trapped by pleasure and it makes us from coming back again and again. The feeling of winning for the first time victor is what makes bear in our mind that we can even more and we can be better. Not knowing that it's just a deceiving feeling that we will lose a lot if we are not going to control it.

yeah, casinos will allow us to win for some time but for sure soon it will make us lose more than the amount we won in the first time we win, there were have this system that it program when we were going to win

It's their system that we they are allowing us to win and in the end. And because of that feeling, it's more hard to quit gambling. But there are times that we need to consider that when gambling is not doing good for us already. Then we should quit to it voluntarily.

Gambling is fun for me only when I win, I keep coming back because I need money, and sometimes I think I can earn some money gambling, but it's just day dreaming, I think a bit about it, how good can it be and don't gamble at all, because in the end I know I probably will lose money and it's not that what I want.

It is the only reason why gambling is also fun for me. Most of the time I'm thinking that gambling is fun because of the games but not all the time I can think about that. When we win as we gamble that's the only way that can give us happiness but when we lose it makes us upset. And when we quit, we will remember the good experience we got from it.
14130  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you subscribe to another site for additional bonuses? on: February 24, 2017, 11:11:07 PM
I like to subscribe for another site but not for the additional bonuses I'm into other types of game. Because if there is a casino that is lack of the games that I want then I'm not satisfied with it so therefore I will going to find some other ones. If there are another bonus that I can get there, then let it come to me.  Grin
14131  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Giving up gambling is not easy on: February 24, 2017, 11:03:42 PM
Many people became broke because of gambling, addiction is a serious disease, you know they can't stop when they win or lose. Pathetic gamblers.

It's a serious thing that we really need to prevent and for those people that are having hardship on quitting in gambling they should do something for it. I guess they are thinking that it is really hard to quit gambling and that's why they are having hardship to quit on it but if they are not going to think about it and just do whatever it takes just to give up gambling, I know they can.

Some people enjoy it even when they are addicted, if they dont ruin themselves then it is fine. If they still could keep their head cool and only spend what they can afford then everything is fine. First of all Im addicted and I gamble almost daily with a very small amount, $1 and even less however I dont feel that I need help to quit this

That enjoyment are too much and must be cut on time. And the result you already said it. But it is a must for all of us because we know that when we gamble too much we and our family are the most affected of it. There are times that instead of using the money for more important things, we are just wagering it for our enjoyment.

Pleasure is indeed something that can make some people become forgotten and finally they do something that could make a loss. Same is the case with the initial gambling gambling, mediocre but after benefit they feel happy and feel pleasure after getting victory several times. But afterwards they become someone who is less advantageous after passing the limit and did not use reasonable minds with good

It's why most of us are being trapped by pleasure and it makes us from coming back again and again. The feeling of winning for the first time victor is what makes bear in our mind that we can even more and we can be better. Not knowing that it's just a deceiving feeling that we will lose a lot if we are not going to control it.

Investing in casino's bankroll is one very good long-term investment.

But, you need to:
- Able to afford losing it. Like in every investment.
- Choose very carefully casinos.
- Able to not touch it for >6 months.

You can add up also that you will not just depend your profit with investing in casino's. Mostly people that are investing in casino's have their own other types of investments which can be a support to their daily lives. That is why they can sustain to invest into other investments. Also make sure that you'll invest volumes in casino's not portion.
14134  Economy / Marketplace / Re: How can we encourage local businesses to accept BTC? on: February 24, 2017, 10:24:41 PM
Thats what I keep saying. Yet I see many other people dont care and keep saying that local shops should accept BTC. Its really hard to be involved in a good discussion because they dont read the posts.

Everyone, theres no need for your local shop to accept BTC. All they need is cash. Cash simply works and its faster.

They might don't need it but if there are certain people or business owners that are very interested with the acceptance and usage of bitcoin. They will gladly accept you and there are people that are not that good with technology but wants to gain their knowledge with it and there are some that really don't care at all.
14135  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your reason to gamble? Fun or profit? on: February 24, 2017, 10:12:21 PM
A little bit of both as of course everyone wants to make a little profit when it comes to gambling but it's also fun at the same time as the thrill of the win excites a lot of people which brings in the fun factor. I also play fun bets on sports like first goal scorer or first team to certain amount of points etc etc. I know that these bets are high risk but I put them on for fun and it also adds excitement when watching the game.

The same goes with me. I really like to play gambling for fun somehow but mostly I'm into the profit. For taking advantage when I play, I just enjoy the game so if ever I'll lose, I enjoyed it and whenever I win that's a win-win situation for me. We need to make sure that we know what we are doing, if we will just gamble for profit only, well be having hard time to accept defeat.
have an intention gambling for profit always ended up with bad things ,
you will feel under pressure instead to win , you keep getting lost ,
that is why since few years ago i decide to gambler fo having fun only ,
and so far so good , i feel not as bad as when i looking for profit.

Yes definitely exactly with what I've said. If we always going to think about the profit when we gamble, frustration will come to us. But if we are just going to let it go for fun we are not going to be frustrated with it. That's why every single move in gambling counts so if you are very positive and gambling all day long having fun, it's better.

I am very proud to say that my site www.topshelftoker.com accepts Bitcoin as well as SativaCoin-STV as payment .
Shop our site and support STV development today! Free shipping within the continental U.S. for orders over $10!

We also accept the following altcoins as payment:

Woah! I checked your shop and I can say its very good and the clothes and apparels you are saying were interesting. And plus a factor that you are accepting a lot of alt coins. But I can't see if you are doing shipping world wide?

Thank you very much for the positive feedback. The reason is because I am really not sure what the shipping rates would be. Can you please let me know where it would be shipped to? Feel free to pm if you wish  Smiley


Your very welcome, upon seeing online stores that are selling with unique products and accepting bitcoin payments I've been optimistic with it and always positive because me and my partner wanted to start something like this but not literally with clothes. I live in Philippines and do you have an idea on how much it cost? But as of now, I was kind of busy for this.

Oklahoma City Thunder vs Los Angeles Lakers , i will bet for Oklahoma City Thunder to win .

This game is confusing me. I don't know if I'll go with LAL or with OKC. But looking for OKC's past performance they surely got a good one. And basing on their standings OKC has a better position which is on the no. 7 spot for the whole western conference unlike with LAL they are having hard time on the second to the last spot.
14139  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you Rich from Gambling? on: February 23, 2017, 06:15:27 AM
Personally I don't gamble full time so I don't live off gambling but I can say I've been able to acquire a few electronics for myself and have loaned a few friends part of my profits from gambling so I will say it hasn't made me rich but profitable in every sense.

That's a good result and use of your winnings I wish that I'm the same with you. But the sad thing is that I can't even have a winning streak or day in any gambling game. Pressure keeps on putting me down because even I win small amount I'm not having receiving good amount with it and becoming rich is just a dream for me and how it is with becoming rich through gambling.
I think the winning streak is very difficult to obtain, it was will depend on the luck of each person. Maybe in order to get profit is better immediately stop if get profit because if to gambling again will always lose, I always experience like that if to gambling streak. I think people can get rich on their gambling have luck and big capital.

A winning streak is just good for those lucky guys and it's really hard to do it. It is why upon realization that being a rich guy with gambling is just an illusion to me. Maybe it can be a reality if I will make my bankroll big and will gamble all day long continually. But that is a very tiring this to do, sometimes its hard to prove that we can be rich in gambling.
You can never make it like that, forcing luck to you, that's always going to make you lose. If you are really lucky then you should stop when you win. Making strategies can result into better chances in winning profit. It's not very tiring because in dice games, there's a dice bot available by Seuntijie. Soon, if you save, you can be rich in gambling.

There are chances like in boxing even you are near to lose but with a single blow you can make your opponent knocked out. The same thing with gambling, I guess there are games that we are desperate and losing our confidence that we will win, we are doing some yolo gaming and betting all our last resort and in the end we are becoming lucky.
14140  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Everyone looses in the long run on: February 23, 2017, 06:02:16 AM
It is important to remember to just gamble the amount you can afford to lose. We don't need to treat gambling as a solution to survive our living. It is not the answer if you are desperate needing money. Players always suffer from losing because they are beaten up of their own greediness.

You are perfectly right , greed is the reason many lose in the long run but not everyone lose in the long run because if you study the fundamentals of financial management and know when to quit you'll never lose in the long run but you'll rather maximize your wins against your loses.

Greediness is just normal and we know that it's a human nature but that's a real reason why we are also losing in the long run. Instead of saving the winnings that we got already when we gamble. We are not contented on what we win and we keep on gambling because we are hoping to get more money as we keep on going.

That is why most people don't make any profit from gambling. They are not easily satisfied with their profit even if it is already big. Greediness is normal. But if you can't stop or control yourself from it in the long run that will just result in gambling addiction which is not good. Amd you will just waste money in gambling sites/casinos.
Making money is very hard in gambling therefore it's would be very nice if we will not just aim for winning, instead we have to be satisfied with the entertainment that we can get and just let go of our loses. Besides, there are a lot of ways to make money which could give us a bigger chance of success, we should focus our time with it, one good example is investing and trading.
in fact making money is difficult for those people who do have any experience in gambling. people says that gambling is 100% depending on our luck but i would like to say that for gambling we also require experience, skill and knowledge. and specially in sports gambling where you need to know about the performance of the players their week and strong points and their interest and their nature of playing and then you can surely increase the chance of your winning in gambling.
If you say that it's difficult to make money from people who have experience in gambling,  where did they get the money from? It's weird,  are they a criminal? Or they have work? Anyway, having experience and knowledge with what you are playing on will really give you an advantage and strategy leading to winning streaks or profit, It's better that way also.

Yeah, instead of saying that it's difficult to earn money if a person has experience in gambling. I know that it's easier for them because they know how gambling is working behind their backs. They know the risk, they know that their winnings can be recovered by the house easily if they will let their greediness defeat them.
