Find another hobby, block the website of gambling via firewall. Id say learn something new aget busy with it, or start working. That will keep your mind away from gambling.
This has been suggested many times and frankly it wouldn't work. you can't stay away from gambling just by blocking access to sites, you'll have to take help from a professional/family/friends.

that's right, blocking gambling websites by using Firewall couldn't help you to prevent yourself from gambling your money if you are already addicted and obsessed to gambling you can not make it happen because it is still depend on what your mind tells you so it's much better if you will seek for a professional help already and if it doesn't work perfectly I think getting yourself to rehabilitation center could be a nice idea Grin if ever you feel it seems to be impossible to stay away from gambling .

I did this before and I can say that it is not effective way of staying away of gambling. And instead of staying away, it is making me more crave to gamble because I can still remove that blocking software. It is better that you are going to do it on an usual way by finding something else to work for your own avoidance of gambling.
14862  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your reason to gamble? Fun or profit? on: December 12, 2016, 08:21:14 AM
I gamble for fun and fast profit.I try to double my money and withdraw it.If I fail ,I don't try to recover my money,I pay my money for fun,when I win I use money for my hobby.

Yeah, me too. I'm not the sort of guy who would want to drag on the gambling because that would just be a waste of time to be honest. I mean, playing more rolls will only mean that your chance of losing will be more.

Others would disagree, as they think that they have a failsafe strategy, which really doesn't exist.

It is not a waste of time if you want to have some other things to do and you want to kill your time. Gambling will be the best thing to do if you are some kind of that guy that wants to look for some entertainment so that your boredom will be gone. But it is going to be not a good thing if you will make gambling as source of profit.

Lol there are far more best thing to do than gambling if you are talking about free time and it must be used to important stuff.  But well, we can't force anyone to do such things because each to their own interest.  
You have been pointing that gambling for profit is not good can you give us more deep explanation why it is so?

Yeah, because there are some people who love to used their free time for gambling and there are some who wants to use it with some other important stuffs. Gambling for profit is not good because if you aim for it, that will make you more desire about winning and you will completely total forget of what gambling really is and it is for having fun.

Well i guess there are really people like to waste their money in order to feed their need / want for entertainment Smiley This is in my point of view but i bet it is another story for those people who actually do gambling for their entertainment.  Anyway, I had read that there are different kind of people that are into gambling, these are

  • Professional gamblers
  • Antisocial or Personality gambler
  • Casual social gambler
  • Serious social gambler
  • Relief and  Escape Gambler
  • Compulsive Gambler

you can find the description here

Now the question would be where are we among these kind of gambler.  As for me I am leaning toward professional gambler but actually not that professional but the characteristics and traits can be seen in how i gamble.


I don't wanted to be called as a professional gambler because I don't always rely my whole life with gambling. It is better to be called as casual gambler. Because I gamble the normal way and reason. Also a fact that I gamble very occasionally and I find gambling as a truly source of entertainment and to help me loose my boredom.
14863  Economy / Economics / Re: Why do you buy Bitcoins? on: December 12, 2016, 08:01:43 AM
I buy bitcoin is intended for investment, only bought a few, intends to hold a few decades.

I did this also before, this is one of the reason why I buy bitcoins. First, for holding and second when I see some good pump of alt coins, I'm buying it. And also I'm investing into some ICO's. Sometimes when I'm out of bitcoins and I need to pay my billings, I don't have choice but to convert my cash into bitcoin for less hassle and falling in line.
14864  Economy / Economics / Re: If you were in desperate need for money.... on: December 12, 2016, 07:49:26 AM
in this whole wind whole nobody gives money for free even the other social media before they can give money one has to work for and has to put in a lot of time into it so even bitcoin will not give money for free you have to put in your time and work for it. so if anyone is desperate in need of money let he or she work for it. 

We are already there, that we need to work in able to get profit. But the scenario is what if we are in emergency situation where our salaries or paid jobs are not enough to sustain that for the fees that we need to cover in that situation. That's what's friends for, only true friends will allow you to borrow money if you desperately need it.
14865  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Worst mistake in gambling on: December 12, 2016, 07:30:31 AM
My worst mistake is blind tailing people in betting chatrooms that sound like they know what's up. Instead of doing my own research to actually determine the bet is good and I'm confident in it, I just go with the public which is often very wrong. I still tend to trust the public, and I gotta get away from that confirmation bias.

Sometimes depending on others opinion is helping you, maybe that time their suggestions are not that accurate. It is our own responsibility that we still need to conduct our own research because we are gambling for our own money and not theirs. I find them helpful for sometime but I'm just picking up those helpful for me.
14866  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: In what gambling games are you good at? on: December 12, 2016, 07:15:55 AM
Well, I like many games and also i have play different games of gambling. But instead of it, i am not too much good in every gambling games, Because i am not strategical man, may be that reason that i am not perfect in every gambling game. But i like sports betting, because in my childhood i was very good in sports. So i can say that in sports i am good in betting.     

You can simply play dice man it doesn't need any knowledge, experience or strategy when playing it. That's why this is one of my favorite game because you can just keep on rolling, but don't forget that the house edge is always in favor of it. So don't think that you are able to beat the house edge because it is a house favored game.
14867  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin the future of online gambling? on: December 12, 2016, 06:53:03 AM
Maybe, as the most popular online currency Bitcoin currently used widely on the internet. I know there are over a million users in bitcoin are in gambling at the same time bitcoins increases in value without any indication that it should stop. Bitcoin casinos have taken online gambling to a whole new level, not only because they offer gamblers the advantage to play anonymously but also, because anyone anywhere in the world can gamble bitcoin casinos without any hassle.

Yes it made gambling to the new level and higher level of gambling because of it, we don't have to register our information so that we can start gambling. And that is what the anonymity of bitcoin gambling is being useful because we can hide our identity and our parents won't know that we are engaged with this type of activity.
14868  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To Gamble or To Invest? on: December 12, 2016, 06:39:40 AM
Never gamble better try to invest that money maybe in bitcoin  I mean sne dthat money to your bitcoin wallet which you want I prefer bitkonan because you can withdrawal it directly to bank and later sell it for $ and send to bank account.

It is not bad if you aren't going to gamble just manage the way you gamble and the amount you are putting in risk. It is better if you are going to more focus with investing but if you are getting some boredom then you should try to find some ways to kill it. And gambling is a good way to remove that boredom, just gamble for fun.
14869  Economy / Economics / Re: What is your best investment strategy? on: December 11, 2016, 01:44:29 PM
I don't really have that such investment.I just buy Bitcoin when the price drops and then I sell when the price rises.However, I will also save a bit of bitcoin for the long term.Bitcoin is more than enough for me as I believe in its full future potential.




If the bitcoin price rises every month, what will you do?

Then I will keep on investing with bitcoin and do buying a lot of bitcoins. Because if there is a way to know that bitcoin is increasing monthly then I will not hesitate to buy bulks of bitcoin monthly and the profit that I will get is the one who will be used for buying another bitcoins or I will keep on trading with alt coins too.
14870  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Storing of Bitcoins is against Bitcoin. on: December 11, 2016, 01:35:31 PM
Storing bitcoins is not against bitcoin for me.Me i invested on bitcoin when its value is at 50$ now o got 500% of my investment maybe even more.Storing bitcoins is a good habit its not against.And people are free on how can they manage their bitcoins

The op wants to point out that storing or holding bitcoins is not helping to the adoption of bitcoin. Because if we will let our bitcoins to do nothing in our wallets, then we are completely doing no help for bitcoins demand and price increase. But there is no bad thing about storing of bitcoin because it is just like you are saving money.
14871  Economy / Economics / Re: Imposing tax on bitcoin on: December 11, 2016, 01:09:12 PM
I think polish gov already tax bitcoin mining with VAT

I didn't knew about it and there is no news about this one. If this is true, would mind to put the link about this so that we will know that the polish government is already using and adopting bitcoin their system or else they are just using bitcoin but they are not imposing tax for it.
14872  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your average bet per game? on: December 11, 2016, 12:49:52 PM
my average bet per game mostly its on .02 bitcoin but im dividing it on different gambling games so im glad when i can double it up. im tryin to raise my bet per game to .1 bitcoin but honestly im scared that i could lose that amount in just a snap of a finger thats why im still playing in a low bet amount.

Your average bet per game is too big enough for me. And you are planning to make it bigger I can't attain to gamble with that amount per game. I don't afford that when I lose. Most of the time I'm just betting 0.001 BTC - 0.005 BTC per game. And sometimes when I lose it is giving me a hard time to recover that amount.
14873  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you Still believe in Fiat? on: December 11, 2016, 12:29:33 PM
I still believe in fiat of course because I use it in daily transactions such as buying and selling goods or products. Fiat is the primary currency now and then. It will not be replaced by other projects because it is easy to use. Even there will be new payment methods now and in the future, fiat would still exist.
Same with you i think everyone is still believing in fiat because of daily transactions like buying in the market. Bitcoins cant replace fiat but no one knows in future bitcoin would dissappear many years from now but hopefully not.

We don't have choice but to keep on believing in fiat for this is being used as universal currency all over the world. And its true that bitcoin is not able to replace fiat money if we are going to look with today's standing of bitcoin.
14874  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How many money did you spent in gambling in a day? on: December 11, 2016, 12:06:08 PM
I can not calculate exactly how much money I spend. but within a week I can put out 0.2 BTC. I think it's a small amount. because the results that I can reach 0.4 BTC. but it is uncertain, some time ago I lost all bitcoin I have because I can not wait to do bet on gambling games. it was very depressing.

The amount you are spending for gambling is what I can't afford to lose per week. Because I manage to gamble for a week about 0.005 BTC depending on how many hours I have spare time. But most of the time, I used to gamble 2-3 times a week so still I'm not able to reach with your minimum amount of gambling per week.
14875  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to stay away from gambling? suggestions ? on: December 11, 2016, 11:52:00 AM
that's the most effective way of quitting gambling if you can't do it instantly you can do it gradually. Don't be pushy enough if you really can't quit gambling for real easily. As long as you have the willingness to stop your addiction and you are doing something for it, I know you can do it for you are thinking about your future.
Some people need treatment to get rid of their addiction as we feel, it is not that easy for them.
They need therapy that makes them prepare themselves mentally and emotionally as like any other mental problem, unfortunately even gambling needs to be treated the same way to quit it.
It's not that people don't or can't try on their own but I've seen people who really push themselves even though they have a family but they force themsleves to stop their habit as they have had huge losses but their mental self doesn't let them do. It sometimes gets worse than drugs and alcohol addiction as this addiction is mainly physical while gambling is a mental addiction.

I find those therapy are very costly because you need to pay those therapist for their service. Why not try to search out in youtube on how the same those therapists are suggesting those addicted gamblers on how to get rid of their addiction. It is better to get some free tips to your friends and especially with your parents.
14876  Economy / Economics / Re: How good are you at managing your money on: December 11, 2016, 11:36:22 AM
im not good when its all about on managing money because all my profit i putting it on something and investing on manythings. im always into spending all my money. idont know i think spending my money was my happiness but the half of my salary im putting it on bitcoin im investing it on itself because i know bitcoin will grow more next year.

I would suggest friend that you should learn to save some of your money even though you are spending it into investments and important things. It is good that you have your own savings and you are not forgetting about it. But it seems that you are saving your money for invest with bitcoin which is good, but still it is good if you have your own savings.
14877  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you were rich, would you still gamble? on: December 11, 2016, 11:13:59 AM
If I were rich that wouldn't change my attitude to gambling even a bit because even now when I'm not rich I gamble for fun only and I never (or to say the truth almost never) think I can make some money with gambling. So yeah, I would gamble for fun if I were rich and I hope I wouldn't change my mind and wouldn't lose it all in one day.

It's hard to tell that you will not change your attitude because if this will happen to me. I can't promise that I won't change my attitude, but with that thing about gambling I will gamble, I will going to look for some other things that can make my riches grow. And I will focus more into investing or holding of bitcoins which is profitable.
14878  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to Turn Gambling into a Profitable Activity on: December 11, 2016, 11:05:40 AM
Gambling is mostly for fun and not profit. Although you can profit from it, it should not be your main motive. Still if you want to gamble for profit you can do it by using a good strategy and stopping when you are in profit. In the long term you will lose because of the house edge.

gambling is very pleasant, especially if you win the game. Well, I guess the thing that makes gambling into a profitable activity is when you win a lot of prizes from gambling. because, when you lose, but still feel fun in that game, I think you just make gambling into a fun activity, and harmful.

But winning a lot in gambling is one of the impossible thing to happen unless you are a very lucky guy. And the only way I can think of making gambling into a profitable activity is by making your own gambling site or own casino in your place or you can invest into some reputable gambling sites and invest into their bankroll.

The stock market has been overvalued since, forever, only in the big crashes the market returns to some kind of real level and even then the pendulum tends to swing back and over correct itself.

stock market is different in each country and it is different in different times based on so many factors like the financial state of investors. but it is always for the big players and novice traders won't have a good time in that market.

I forget about trading about stock market, it is better to invest with bitcoin because many are already enjoying their profit in bitcoin because they have bought  a lot of it when the price is still low and now the price keeps on increasing. And investments with bitcoin are flexible and in bitcoin the stock market is like alt coin trading.
14880  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: December 10, 2016, 02:38:42 PM
My personal opinion, i think to invest your money will be good option but only in real estate nothing else because property prices will rise every year.

Yes that is one of the good options out there for investment especially in land. And there is no doubt for it that it is increasing yearly, but this is an option for those people who afford to invest big amount of money. But for those who are in lower class and wants to have affordable investment, I would suggest that simply invest in bitcoin and just hold.
