1441  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is more risky. Sport or casino bets ? on: April 25, 2017, 09:54:43 AM
hello,

What is your opinion bout this.

If for example one match of basketball game ratio is 1.05, so it means it's 95% to win.  VS casino game like dice which is also 95% chance to win.
Which one is more risky ?

Of course even with the percentage being the same, its not really like that. The fact that there will be factors to consider based on actual statistics when sportsbetting makes it a lot more safer to bet on than playing dice or games of the like. A long time basketball fan who is just new to gambling can earn pretty well than someone who has years of experience in playing dice.

Of course we can't prevent this from happening, and little by little it is being slowly develop. Even if virtual reality takes place in gambling and holographic casino is formed, I would still prefer the old ways. There's nothing that can beat the excitement of having a real life battle and seeing your opponent at front while playing.

That is true. Consider the changes gambling has the the past years. It really became more convenient and accessible for players around the world and it even is possible to play with people from other countries online. Yet even with these changes, nothing still beats the experience of being in an actual casino and the excitement you'll with playing with real players

In an online world tracking what your kids are doing has become harder and harder. You can install blocks and stuff but your kid has many devices that can access the internet with. Also of they k ow what they doing they can go around it or even disable it. In today's world it's even more important to know what your kid is doing when he looks down into the glow of a screen. They could be watching porn, gambling. Looking at gore or other sick stuff. There even chatrooms and forums with word stuff kinds shouldn't be involved in. It's all up to the parents and teachers of the kids.
I think the only solution is to not give kids access to those devices, it is simply impossible to try to block every single site that we think may harm them so the only solution left for us is to try to restrict their access to those device maybe not completely but give them a time limit.
yes that is right we need be very much careful about our children, i think they should only take interested in such activities which are good for their physical and mental health, and which can also help them in make their future more bright.
well restricting kids these days is a bit more challenging for parents than a couple of ywars ago. Kids today are way smarter when it comes to electronics and technology and with the availability of online gambling, i don't think this is going to work. The best thing probably be is to educate kids about the begative effects this can give to them. Site examples of people who got addicted to gambling and how it ruined thier lives. It's not hidden that if kids want access to anything they'll have means to it through the inernet ao if they are aware that gambling won't be fun at all when hey loae money, i think they'll avoid it
1444  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lost 10 BTC in three days. Should I end my life? on: April 24, 2017, 10:36:14 PM
Hope that would be a big lesson for you 10btc is a huge money and you lost it 3days only? Unbelievable, gambling is for fun only and a little profit you must not risk a bigger amount. Sorry for your lost bro

Yeah though i think he's not the only one whi's had this kind of sour luck. Some even lose more in far less time. Lessons are learned and hopefully next time try to be a little bit more conservative with your bets and think of other ways where you can put these btcs for better results. That could've gone a long way if you've invested it in something a little more profitable than gambling
1445  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Game of Thrones - Who will rule? Odds and betting discussion on: April 24, 2017, 10:32:43 PM
@gabmen. I was also thinking that if you consider the unpredictability of Game of Thrones, then there is a good chance that Jon Snow will not rule the seven kingdoms.

Another character in the story who is not shown last season but is still alive is Gendry. Where is he? Ned Stark had him protected because he is King Robert's true heir.

I don't think Jon Snow will rule simply because he doesn't want to rule. Besides, everybody knows that kings are usually replaced quickly by a new one and that you generally live longer if you are in a position that is not the king (like Littlefinger has done so far).

I am talking more about what George R. R, might do with the story than what the character Jon Snow is inclined to do. The writer has always made the story very unpredictable and to the point of making it shocking. Remember when Robb Stark's own allies killed him, his wife and his unborn child also named Eddard?





I get your point and i agree that with how grrm thinks, it mat not be between the characters that we're all expecting to be in the iron throne that would end up there. Hell it may even be cersei though i don't think fans would like that but i don't grrm cares. This unpredictability makes fame of thrones a lot more exciting to watch especially thia final season. And i think we may be seeing gendry at last after rowing his boat anywhere for a couple of seasons
1446  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how can we make gambling as an accepted recreational activity like sports game? on: April 24, 2017, 07:31:30 PM
I don't think we can because basically its not. Gambling has a lot of facets that would make it highly unsuitable for people at a younger age. There's a very big difference between gambling and sports and there's a reason why mostly gambling is not allowed for minors. It deals with money and anything that deals with money is very susceptible to both greed and corruption. These are the qualities that sports tend to overcome but gamblig can very well promote
1447  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: April 24, 2017, 07:22:56 PM
Gambling is addictive because it's illegal and it's pretty easy to make money from it.
If what you said was true then no one will get addicted to gambling in places where gambling is legal, by your hypothesis, no one in a place like Las Vegas should be addicted to gambling but we know that is not true so your statement is completely wrong.
Right. Saying that gambling is addictive simply because its illegal is a very shallow reasoning. It may be illegal in your part of the world but most people who get addicted to gambling are not even aware if its illegal or not.
Very few number of countries regulate gambling websites with limitations. So users from those countries will be agonizing to take part into gambling activities. This has been provided with ease through the gambling websites functioning with bitcoin. This eventually makes them a big addict than common users who don't have restrictions in using gambling websites.
I agree with that and that's what can happen in every country. The lesser restriction means there would be young people who can be exposed to that and is possibly happening right now. Not just adults, kids are getting very good in technology and in searching.
And that may prove to be a big problem becasue gambling is still considered to be games that you play with. Younger people would easily be attracted to gambling if it's that easily accessible and addiction can come at a very early age. It's going to be a big problem for parents since if a kid gets addicted, we all know where the money they'll use will be coming from
1448  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why trading is better than gambling? on: April 24, 2017, 10:28:13 AM
Hey! guys i need your opinion and help because i didn't know about this trading thing i only know about how you can earn bitcoin by gambling but still my friend told me that gambling is not the way to earn bitcoin but if you try trading you will earn much profit why is that so guys? trading is better than bitcoin? how? why? where to find that trading thing?

Well your friend is actually Right for saying that gambling is not a right place to earn or for making a profit , trading would be much better and you can actually make a profit from there but it still involves risk of loss so you really need to learn the systems of trading and improve your skills and strategies and you have many things to understand when it comes to trading .
Saying that gambling is not the right place to earn or for making profit is just like a trading you said since you can sure that it is much better but how you do that without enough knowledge and learning about bitcoin. It is same as gambling that being greedy will result a losing of money.

In addition, gambling is very risky because there will be a great possibility that instead of profiting from it, it will result in draining your money and that is what gambling stands. On the other hand, trading has its risks though nothing compared to the risk that gambling offers and also it is up between yourself and your buyer actually if they are trustworthy or not so the advice I can give you in trading is to be wise to choose who to trade with.
What do you mean a buyer or a person to deal with in a trade ? Trading is a person to person but not literally to deal with .Trading have a market or site on which you can buy and sell cryptocurrencies . Having your point out there in gambling was right but it depends on your playing activity on what was your reason to gamble.
We all know both are risky and trading takes a bit more time and you'll have to have a lot of patience to maximize your earnings. Yes in general gambling relies on luck mainly but if you vooae the type of gambling you're going to play, like for example you do sports bet, you probably have better or the same chance as trading but in a much shorter time
1449  Other / Archival / Re: Which one is more risky? Skill-based gambling or trading? on: April 24, 2017, 10:16:09 AM
I often see that people prefer skill-based gambling such as poker or sportsbook because they think it's more profitable than trading.
But, people say that sports can be manipulated by mafia/casino for their own good.

So, which one is more risky? Skill-based gambling or trading? I think both of them have same risks because both of them could be manipulated, unexpected things could happen and many more.
Skills based gambling is risky than trading. Gambling is a game of chance and it take the gods of gambling to be on your side for you to really succeed in it. Trading if you treat well bring low return compared to skills based gambling but you can skillfully trade and have consistent success but you cannot skillfully gamble and have consistent success.

No matter how much skills you have , it wont count at the end of the day in Gambling. The reason being that Skill has very little influence on gambling or rather you can say that Gambling needs no skill.

Dude i don't think you're getting the point. Sports betting and poker are waaay different from your nirmal gambling games and for me sometimes its even easier to profit from these two than trading. Luck rarely becomes a major factor with these two as with knowledge and experience, you're sure to have an advantage. And it doesn't need as much time as when you're trading although the chances are pretty similar.
1450  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How bring referrals ? on: April 24, 2017, 10:05:05 AM
Well your experience with that site would be the best sell for your referrals. Of course people will ask you how it was when you're playing dice there. Was it user friendly, was it safe, was it entertaining? Most of the time if the site itself is a good one, word of mouth would already reach gambling friends and it's not going to be hard to get referrals
1451  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [POLL]How old were you when you made your first bet? on: April 24, 2017, 10:02:10 AM
One way or another, i think we've all gambled early on in our lives. We probably are just not aware that it's gambling or it's not really felt because of how little the bets are. I've made a lot of bets before i even rrachrd 18 and sometimes these are not monetary bets but dares. Though there are times when i do it with achool allowances with classmates and friends and the bets are for pretty much anything. I've even entered a casino before i turned 18but i didn't gamble there yet during that time as i was overwhelemed by the amount of bets involved. I just went there with an uncle but that opened me up to the casino world
1452  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Avoid Casinos With Max Bet Rules on: April 24, 2017, 09:57:25 AM
Isn't casino set max bet to protect their bankroll? as i've seen from crypto-games, they stated that their max limit will raise alongside with their bankroll increase. And people should stop taking any casino bonus, like some deposit bonus or others. It's just their trap to rope you into their rule and lose your deposit when you try to fullfill the wager requirement.

LOL that goes for most casinos now so i think we have to be careful before we rnter a certain casino. Normally there are rules and regulations before we rntrr a site and it would be important to at least run through those to make sure we don't get blindsided once we're alrrady there. Of course these casinos would be protecting their bankroll and most of the time at the expense of the players losing a lot of money to certain technicalities
1453  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: the easiest way to make a profit from gambling? on: April 24, 2017, 09:49:13 AM
That's pretty obvious that they will win in the long run, so we better not think we can beat their system but constantly updating our method because no method will work in the long run. Gambling is just design that way, it is on their favor and they will be profitable than us.
Best chance we have is when we love to risk bigger money and if we are lucky we can bag a big amount.

The best chance that you have if you really want to make big amount of profit is to use big amount as well. Go for a few run and hope for the best, if you try to split up those big amount into several small bets than that is a silly mistake. Either you go broke or you go high, you are going to get either of it
That's for sure, go big to win big. That's definitely one of the most enticing things in gambling, and probably you have fallen for it too. You would never know how much it's going to cost you to win big but it's a part of getting there.
Bottom line, we just need to be lucky if we want to win money and it does not matter how much we will put as any amount could generate a big return if we are lucky enough. I wish we have that luck all the time and we know when it will strike so we could put more money to get more.
Well all gamblers wish to have that knowledge but reality is we really can't. There are people who are born lucky but most of us are not. Luck comes only at times we don't really expect and we can only hope we get lucky. Though there are ways to make regulat earnings and that is rarely by playing. Invrsting would get your money far or better yet setting up your own gambling site. It's better to work hard than to simply rely on luck
1454  Other / Archival / Re: Do you think that you're addicted to gambling? on: April 24, 2017, 09:36:52 AM
As the title says, do you think that you're addicted to gambling? or you just don't realize that you're addicted Roll Eyes
If you ask me, i used to addicted to gambling but stopped after suffer big losses even though i'm still in profit.

I don't think I'm addicted to gambling but I can see why it is addictive. There are times that I want to throw logic out the window and make a big bet to double my money all or nothing, but so far I have resisted.

The same thing with me, I consider myself as not addicted. Because I know how to take my losses and I know to control myself.

I know that gambling can lead me into a lot of loss if ever I don't have enough power to control myself.

And that's why I keep on telling myself that I don't have any guts to become addicted since I don't have enough to gamble.

Well i think there really are fewer people who we can consider as gambling addicts. If you can restrain yourself from doing it even if you're really enjoying and having a good time, then i think you're far from becoming addicted. I was pretty fond of playing poker back in the days and i spend a lot of time playing it but when it comes to weighing priorities, its easy for me to put that enjoyment in the backseat for more important things

Yes I'm far from being addicted for now and I'm scared if ever I'll fall with this addiction I can lose everything that I can.

I came up already from this addiction and it did really gave me a very worst experience, I used to debate with my friends and family depending my addiction.

But in the end, I realized that it is a very wrong attitude and it's my mistake.

Well if you're going to think about it, it no other person's mistaje but yours. Being addicted to something means that you're failing to have the proper self control over your emotions. I don't think it's impossible to have control over what you're thinking or doing but that's just me. As per experience, i know how gambling can be so time and money consuming but in the end we have to realize that there are far more important things than gambling. That way, with that realization, i can easily control myself if i'd have enough already
1455  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Superstition on: April 23, 2017, 02:50:25 PM
I'm one of those who don't believe superstition when gambling I think it's just luck and they are just exaggerating luck but many around me also believe in superstitious things and are Involve to gambling when initially aimed at ancient traditions
It depends on us on how we can play gambling most of us are believing in superstition where they are thinking that it can bring them luck by thinking advantages too. Its kinda weird when others act too much that's like whats you thought too exaggerated for them to think advantage where the result is kinda awful.

Well its all psychological for me. If it's true then some people should be raking up millions already with gambling once they stick to their lucky superstitions. Sometimes, believing in something that will give you a good result boosts your confidence and it makes it a lot more fun as well.
1456  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to Turn Gambling into a Profitable Activity on: April 23, 2017, 02:47:11 PM
I only see this with one single way be owner of some casino, gambling website even knowing some casinos does offer the option to invest into bankroll, but the risks and trust are something unique and hard to get over internet. As a gambler i do know the risks while i do make my bets, and the result for the most gamblers is the sam, some days we win others days we do loose.
Once you inside gambling your facing risk already even you don't bets you will triggered to pull the bets button i always feel im lucky when tring to make bets Lose and Win is normal for us to make profit and to made our standing better we learn about the experience every time we finish play gambling i don't consider to invest my bankroll into gambling it can be manipulated tho.

I agree with rinder here. Even if you win a couple of times and you have a goos strategy, chances are you'll still lose money when you play. There's no other way around it as it is the nature of gambling. Its possible that one night you will win big but the nezt two nights you'll lose. The only secure way of earning profits is to generate income from the people gambling and that's to be part of the house or to be the house itself by setting up your own casino or site
1457  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Planned or impulsive gambling? on: April 23, 2017, 02:43:17 PM
Gambling with a planned usually ended with nothing but when impulsive gambling is better than planning of your lose I feel more luckier when I just feel to gambling then I played with my money and yes I can make it making doubled my bankroll for that fast time only. Regular people will always set for time to them to play more because they busy for some scheduling of time.

I don't actaually agrre with this. Impulsive gabling would most likely get more emotional and have you loae control as the game goes on. Planning basically sets your mind up for specifics like what time you're going to gamble, the limit of your bets, when you'll quit and you're going to be more emotionally prepared as you've played out evrrything beforehand. Unlike when yoi're gambling impulsively, chances are, if you lose control of yourself, you'll end up exhausting all the moneybyou have in your pocket
1458  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: April 23, 2017, 02:39:45 PM
Houston Rockets Vs Oklahoma City Thunder

I am still not convinced by Thunder's home win in Game 3 of the playoff. Thunder was trailing by more than 10 points at one point of the game and yet Rockets only lost by 2 points in the end. Thunder are more reliant on Westbrook than Rockets on Harden. You can see that Thunder only managed to win because they were playing at home and yet Rockets made it close. Rockets played better than Thunder in the regular season so I am going for Rockets +1.5.


This is actually one of the more exciting matchups this first round because of the russ/harden story and who's more deserving of the season mvp plum. Though i agree with you. It seems that westbrook is the only one willing his team to victory. Perhaps harden has better teammates but someone has to really step up if okc is to push this series further. Though really, two hands up for westbrook. The guys giving it all out every single night but his teammates should be more focus on doing their part for the team instead of having westbrook rake up the stat sheet
1459  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: It is not worth it, right? on: April 23, 2017, 02:32:58 PM
Gambling in the general does give a wizzard way of pleasure, something you cant get anywhere else, the same thing with sex, drink and drugs, each of those allows different ways of pleasure. But people still believe that gambling might bring some income, and its true some people are able to get some reward doing those.

Same thought here dude. And the pleasure it gives differs for every person addicted to it. Some people seriously can't go through with their day without having to gamble onve or twice. It's nit about winning or losing anymore but the feeling that they get when they arenin the act of gambling. Good thing this doesn't apply to me but for people who actually are having this feeling, this would come as a concern for the people around them especially their families

I don't think any strategy will work all the time with dice. If someone claimed to me that his strategy works most of the time, i still wont buy it conaidering that dice is pretty much a game that doesn't require strategy. My chances of winning through sheer gut feel would the same as that who says he's using a tested strategy so why waste money
