1481  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you can control your self when playing gambling? on: March 26, 2017, 02:51:22 PM
Yeah I can play with control because at the moment I'm not a greedy person who want to get rich. Even it's much hard to keep control on emotion while having fun there.
Thats a good attitude, we should not be greedy when playing to prevent more loses. just play while having fun and dont think too much about winning or losing. its also important to limit yourself in the money that youre going to use for playing better to use extra money so it wont hurt that much incase anything bad happen. i learned to control myself and i think everyone can do it too if you are determine.

Well as long as we understand what gambling entails and how it can affect our lives then we have a very good chance of gambling responsibly and control ourselves and our emotions. Sometimes the reason why we lose control is we put our enjoyment in front of morr important things. We should learn how to make priorities and know to manage our time by how important things are.
1482  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What Is Your Worst Moment in Gambling? on: March 26, 2017, 02:47:55 PM
My worst moment is when i bet 0.5Btc for a game in NBA over 215.5 and the total score result is 215. Before i believed that my bet was loss i checked every site first that has the score for that game and all of them have the same result and i just said to myself "Oh well thats life".

Wow that is heartbreaking dude. Its bad enough if you lose a bet but its double hard to take if you lost with such a slim margin. Ifbthat happened to me though it would mean a couple of sleepless nights feeling regret but as you've said that's life. I'd rather lose a brt by a wide gap though than through a close call
1483  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to quit Gambling for good? on: March 26, 2017, 02:35:41 PM
I am of the opinion that you need to sit down and analyse the situation for your self and then get help from your family and also from a psychiatrist to help you to over come the urge of gambling more and more. In fact, this works with all most all the addictions. You will need to stay on track with the suggestions and recommendations given by psychiatrist. With some support of your family and also with determination, you can overcome any addictions, even gambling too.
Well when you are addicted no one can help you to quit on that thing unless you help your self you are the reason why you are in gambling then if you really wanting to quit on that then help your self not to play psychiatrist can't help she/he just give you advices that can't help you, once you have funds again to deposit your looking again to gambling. Thinking of about the family will help how about those money give it to your mother then you help your mother than loosing it for nonsense.

Well i agree with what you said here about it wpuld all be up to the person. Yes psychs can help but ultimately it will be the person who will decide on what to do with their addiction. If someone is really intent to stop or quit,  they'll find it between themselves that they don't eant to do it anymore. Other people are there to give advices and options but if a person can't be in control of himself it eon't do anything good. It needs to rrally start from the addicted person's self
1484  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: March 26, 2017, 01:33:52 PM
hope some body took a prop bet on booker from the suns....70 points tonight crazy good game wow.

He's on a frenzy. 40 shots and 24-of-26 from the line. Even Jordan's career high was 69 pts. Kobe was 81. I hope he grows into a distinguished star.
And they ended up losing the game? The other players hardly scored any of the points through out the entire game having a score of 120. That is over half the clubs total points for last nights defeat to the Boston Celtics.

It's the Suns, what did you expect?  Grin
not gonna be much other scoring from other players on there team when someone puts up 70 lol and they were down big the first half they just kept feeding him the ball, suns defense is garbage

Well in any way, this kids goibg to be talked about for a long time. I mean even if we say that most defense played are garbage, or he took that manu shots, its still the nba and scoring 70 points in thr nba is still a phenomenal feat yhough only on a personal level. Hr may not be or become as good as those with him in the 70 point company but this would be something to remember
1485  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you like slot games ? on: March 26, 2017, 01:29:20 PM
Only in Las Vegas. They have great prices there and many different various slot games.

But online, its not really as much fun. Its better if its a physical slots game.

I agree here.  I don't generally play slots seriously because of the house edge.  No serious gambler should.  However, when I do play slots, it is for entertainment.  I don't play them online unless there's a possibility they have an exploit (which happens quite frequently with new casinos).  There's nothing like the lights, the girls, the music, and the glitz of making the rounds in Vegas, however, taking advantage of the comps and playing the slots for entertainment.

The real casino and online casino have a very big difference. The real casino slot games will give us more fun, and we will get some variety slot games to play. But in online casino sites, we will not get this type games. It's only repeated games, and if you play few minutes, you will get bored to play the same game. That is why you like physical slot games. I too like slot games, but I am expecting only fun in these games.

Yeah me too i frrl thr same with online slots. Its gets kinda boring the more you play and i think some sites actually manipulate the resultsbfor these slot games to make you ein at first sonthat you'll put in more money. But if done within a regulat casino and if you'rr playing with a couple of friends, it gets a bit more fun though in general im not really a fan of slots.
1486  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Investing in Bitcoin Casinos are really worth it? on: March 26, 2017, 01:26:08 PM
It depends on your deposit when you deposit good money then you will get 5% of it its like if you don't want to gambling your money you're about to join the gambling it self and then let your money grow in a month its really worth even you get small money when it back. it just like while you are waiting for the price to increase you had bitcoin to sell.

Most of the people that are earning good amount with casino's are the ones that invested bigger amount, estimating higher than 1 BTC is the recommended amount of invested. And it can grow 5% for the 6 months and chances of not growing is still there. It depends on how big the bankroll is and how many investors are there too.

It also depends if the casino has a really good player base and there are a lot of high rollers. I tried investing in bitvest, they have a high roller there and I caught him on a bad streak. So my money almost doubled as I set my investment to the max risk they have which got me x5 of what my investment is.
Another thing to look at is the house edge of the casino, that will also have a great influence on how much you stand to make each month.

Also, if you invest in casino's that have lower-risk bankroll management (limiting the max win-rate on bets), you won't have high rollers taking out your investment.

Crypto-Games does this btw. Chances of losing your investment are really really low.

Yeah that the good thing about investing here as instead of you being in the negative end of house edge, you actually get to earn from it. And with a lot of people really into gambling nowadays because of it being easily accessible, you're sure to get quite a handsome payout all thr time.
1487  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Planned or impulsive gambling? on: March 26, 2017, 11:41:12 AM
Hi guys!
I was always curious if the most of the gamblers have "scheduled" their gambling time or you just go gambling whenever you're in the mood.
What about you? Is there any specific time you gamble? Week(ends) days? Or just randomly spread ?
Let us know Wink

Having a plan for anything is always better than noy having any at all. For example, planned gambling allows you to set asife an amount that you would spend and to prepare yourself to make sure youbstay within that alotted amount. Sometimes random gambling would make you spend more and get your emotions too involved in playing which is not always a good thing
1488  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Worst mistake in gambling on: March 26, 2017, 11:38:46 AM
The Biggest mistake in gambling is one who thinks or one who try's to become a millionaire from gambling, you lose more when you chase money.

Most people are tempted by those advertisements that claim that millionaire jackpots are possible in their casino. It is true but the house edge is there and people forget about it since they minds are blanked out by the temptations of free money and thoughts of being a millionaire. Like they say, money controls this world and not morals.

Even if you gamble in a responsible manner never chase your losses and always control your emotions.

I think wise people would alrrady know that these advertisements about making millionnaires out of people are just propaganda to lure gamblers. One of the biggest mistake anyone can make is to expect that they can earn easily and a lot through gambling. Of course expecting a lot would make them spend time and money in it hoping for a result that would be tenfold of what they let out. That would be a very wrong move. People already lrarned hard lessons with this
1489  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is there any place to gamble IF the Mayweather vs McGregor fight will happen? on: March 26, 2017, 11:35:51 AM
I agree. Floyd Mayweather will win this fight on points. But will it be he beating up Conor McGregor to a pulp? I do not think so. Both fighters are counter punchers and we might not see a lot of action between them.

The title of the news said the word batters. There was nothing that Shawn Porter said that Floyd will batter Conor. How can anyone say that by watching 1 leaked footage.

If in case this fight pushes through, and both fighters eill slig it out, then my money's definitely on connor. Mayweather's technique is based mostly in avoiding being hit. I don't think he can survive if he trades punches with mcgregor though if the fight is going to be pure boxing, i agree that floyd will win on points. I don't think he would even agree to do an mma fight with anyone since his technique can't be applied there
1490  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your reason to gamble? Fun or profit? on: March 25, 2017, 10:47:32 AM

I also want to earn money in gambling but of course there are no guaranteed that we can always win in our game every-time we play, and I know that when we enter gambling there is always a risk, like opening your own business, there is always a risk so if you don't know how to manage that risk then better not to start a game or enter any kind of business.

Everything has risk and my advice to those that want to be rich from gambling is not to rely on it. Some people are rich because of gambling but not everyone will be. It is like hoping for miracle to happen so just play for fun or dont play if you dont feel like losing your money even to just have fun in it

Yeah. Those people that become rich from gambling are destined for it. I don't evrn think they they expect to win or hope too much about winning but if you're going to win a jackpot it eill come. We shouldn't waste our time figuring out a way to win jackpots because we're just exposing ourselves to having regrets in the long run about how much time and money we've thrown away. If you're going to gamble, then have fun doing it but don't raise your expectations too high
1491  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling problem on: March 25, 2017, 10:43:21 AM
You say you want to start gambling but what if you gamble and win big ? Will you want to go back in time and not gamble ? We know the risks and we must only gamble if we make the decision for ourselves that the sacrifice of money to chase big dreams is worth it. But we must remember if that gets in the way if our responsibility then it is a problem. For example of you gamble and not spend time with family or youbhambke away important money for feeding your family. Unless you don't hear it is ok and your choice.
The chances of winning big through gambling are very rare ,so a good advice for him would be to stop losing money and better invest that in some other way so that you could yield some profit. I have seen people winning jackpot when it comes to gambling but those are rare chances and if you are lucky enough you will win .

The chances of winning big are rare but that the risk the gamblers are willing to risk, just to win big. Sometimes you got lucky and hit the jackpot but most of time its not. That's the life of being a gambler. You have an itch inside of you and you wanted more. Its the feeling that will haunt you for the rest of your life and you become obsessed with it. Then down the road you will look back at the time in your gambling career, and see how much time you wasted.




Well that's basically what gambling is about and how it's defined. Risks, chances, losses, thise arenthings that a gambler should understand and live with and i think most gamblers actually accept this fact. It doesn't really matter if they lose ot not, the fact that they're gambling is enough to satisfy them and i don't think they will feel any regret because that's basically ehat they want to do
1492  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When did you start gambling? (Because of BCT Promotion?) on: March 25, 2017, 10:37:35 AM
I started gambling way before I even knew about bitcoins, so I would say that bitcointalk was not the reason why I got into gambling. I started with NBA odds with a local bookie. When I grew tired of the odds he was giving and how much cut he gets, I got into online sports betting at nitrogen sports. Never went back to my local bookie again.
LOL I think most of us old guys here started gambling that way. Its a lot more fun duting those days when you make bets physically with someone as there are more interaction. Me too, i've learned and enjoyed gambling way before btc was introduced to me. I usuallybgo to casinos to play baccarat and watch poker games several years back. I learned about btc when my fondness for gamblingnis not that high anymore
1493  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UFC 212: Aldo vs Holloway Info and Prediction Thread on: March 25, 2017, 10:28:16 AM
Aldo has declared that he was willing to move up in lightweight just to fight versus Conor. I speculate Aldo will keep hunting for a rematch with the Irishman after winning versus Max Holloway. The humiliation is too much for him. He feels Conor's win was not deserved.

Well in a way i think connir got into aldo's head the last time that's aldo got cocky and careless. But i'd love to see a rematch. I believe aldo deserves a rematch of all people consifering his contributions to the ufc. Though i'm nit sure if the result would br different as mcgregor actually keeps getting better after their last fight. But that is onr rematch i'd pay to see
1494  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What Happen If Gambling was not introduced? on: March 25, 2017, 10:24:49 AM
If Gambling was not introduced then many people have to do the hard work for earning money.

I don't understand?  How are people going to gamble if they have no money?  Don't they have to work in order to get the money with which to gamble?  Plus, there are many more people who lose gambling then win....how does gambling enable people to stop working....it seems like they would have to work more to make up for the money they lose gambling.  This question just does not make any sense at all!

Well you'll be surprised at how gambling addicts always find a way to acquire funds when it comes to gambling. Nevermind that they have nothing to eat or niyhing to spend for daily needs as long as their gambling addiction is satisfied. Its the same way as when people are addicted to other things. They make loans, borrow money from friends, sell belongings, it doesnt rrally matter how but they surprisingly can come up with funds
1495  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: March 25, 2017, 10:16:09 AM
Gambling will be a wrong thing to do if we rely on it to fulfill our daily needs and we ignored other things in our life like family, job, study etc. There is a chance for us to be a very lazy person because of gambling if we can't control it.
This is very right, gambling makes a person lazy when they've got already addicted. All they want is easy money, they losses the time to think on how to be productive like finding ways to have a decent work. And the worst thing is they don't have more time to care of their family and children.
Agreed gambling making person become lazy they don't find a good job for them to work hard to earn a good and legal way of money they think that gambling solution to their problems i care about my family and my self i don't want to be addicted on any gambling i want to be fair working hard is more presentable than risking your money for your family.

Well noy al the time though. This applirs to people who wish to rely on gambling to support their lives which in every way is very wrong. Gambling is meant to be entertaining even way before man's advancement. People would work during the day, then wager a couple of times after work. We rrslly can't generalize all gamblers as lazy people who doesn't want to work because its not that way all the time
1496  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I never made any profits in dice game.. whats is your opinion on: March 25, 2017, 10:12:05 AM
I'd rather find other games with a greater chance of winnings like skill-based games than using a dice game alone. I admit that I can't make any profits from it maybe because I can't have a big bank roll or it is really it's nature to lose more and more in the end, right?

Actually, dice game is not depend on our big bank roll, we win in dice only luck wise, no strategy and no skills need in it. It is simple but it is hard to win in it. I also agree, make profit in dice, really impossible, but sometime suddenly we could win in it.

I agree. Although it would seem that your chances are 50/50 with dice, i think thats what makes it a little more dangerous for your money because most of the time you will end up losing. And the fact that it seems yo be good odds for anyone, would make people bet higher amounts, which of course is not advisable for luck based games. Its good for a while but i won't play dice on a serious level

I would advise you to look around the forum, I think there are plenty of this kind of promotion out here that you could join. I usually see a tipster competition where you have to win the most games or get the most units or even the longest streak. It depends on the promotion. You just have to look around a bit.

Yeah or you can look for betting games on things that you have interest on like sports. It really would boost your chancres of winning if you bet on a favorite sport or topic because you basically won't need to tely on third party tips as you can very well be the tipster yourself
1499  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Joe Reno NBA Picks/Predictions on: March 25, 2017, 08:56:44 AM
It is a good thing that you are posting your tips but we need also to see your reasons why did you pick or choose that bet . We need to see that you are analyzing each bets you share with us. And also it is better if you can edit your bets if they win or they lose so that we can be able to see your win/lose progress. Thank you and Goodluck.

Yeah that would make us a bit mlre at ease but i from experience your predictions would be as good as mine though i don't think it would be as accurate as you say, i'd pretty much make the same prediction as you. I also want to knownif you're basing these predictions solely on your experience and knowledge of nba games

We can find the most reputable gambling sites here, my mind is clear now that gambling investment is a way to make profit with bitcoins too. If my parents just have a stable job, I don't need to provide my daily needs by myself that I'm earning online, maybe I have already a lot of investments and making big money.


Well investing in gambling is already profittable even before bitcoin and i agree that with ntc's emergence, the gambling industry just got a bigger boost to its market. Evrryone can earn a lot but we have to also do our part in researchung which site is safe to invest on. No need to blame your parents here dude just work hard and be diligent and you'll earn a lot even while supporting your parents
