14961  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you were rich, would you still gamble? on: December 08, 2016, 05:42:56 AM
in fact, gambling is not just about making money in a short time, but, gambling also included a hobby. Well, a lot of people rich and have a lot of money, but, still gambling. I think it's because they have a hobby in the game. so I guess, when one has become rich, maybe they will not stop to gamble before they change their hobby, but it will not be easy.
Unfortunately yeah some people get addicted because they treat gambling as a hobby
Which it's hard to leave as long as you still love to do it
Rich will never be a reason they have to stop to gamble , the reason they can leave gambling is when they think it's not entertain anymore.
yep im thinking the same thing if i can get be rich through gambling or any other reason i would still gamble because gambling is life and theres a lot of chances i could grow my money more but before i gamble again iwould make sure that i already have an investment in different gambling sites bankroll and ofcourse i would prefer to start a business. Smiley

If I would be rich I would not gamble for the profit anymore but just for the enjoyment you get from doing it sometimes, I think gambling also should not be profitable and in fact in the most cases it is not.
Well, that's how it should be done if you wan't to stay rich. In gambling when you are not doing the right attitude, you will surely regret why you are in gambling. The reality shows, that poor gamblers gets poorer and rich gambler may become poor due to big loses, please don't be on that situation.

That's a fact I know a lot of rich people that doesn't able to manage their own attitude and keep on gambling as they want. But in the end, I found them crying and all the riches they've got sold just for the sake of addiction. So, if I will be rich enough I won't gamble anymore, I just learned from the mistakes and misfortune of others and I don't want that to happen to me.

I tried autobet before in some dice game it is a waste of money to use autobet in dice game like other said it is not enjoyable..
But they are just the same result if you are gamble in dice game that you will still lose all your money for nothing that is why i change my plays into sports betting because it is more easy to predict.

Good thing that I haven't tried to use autobet with dice games because I like the usual way of gambling with dice games that rolling it manually. And you are right with that, whether you will gamble with autobet or the usual normal way in dice games. We will just end up losing in the end even though how tough we are in dice.
14963  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to play gambling in a smart way? on: December 07, 2016, 09:25:32 AM
There is no smart way to gamble and even with 98% luck in prime dice you tend to lose in the long run,so basically there is no way to earn money from gambling site and only a lucky few gets a chance to win some.
I agree that dice is all luck and unless u have rigged the dice yourself there's no way u can guarantee that you will make good profits out of it. On the other hand, Sports betting is slightly more predictable and if you follow sports well and are not greedy, you can make decent profits on a long run.

I do agree that in sports we can predict more accurate compared to other casino games. But due to recent match fixes, we can't guess the results just based on their past performance. This makes even sports betting also need a lucky to win most of our bets.

Just simply bet in small amount when you are gambling even it is with dice sites or sports betting. That is the smartest way of gambling that I can say, because whether you win or lose you will afford to lose it but if you win maybe don't hope also to win with big amount. But there are some people who are earning great amount as they gamble with small amount.
14964  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin the future of online gambling? on: December 07, 2016, 09:13:44 AM
Bitcoin is the future and not just of gambling but everything. Gambling with bitcoins is especially helpful because of the nature of bitcoin itself. it just helps to make everything that much easier and faster.

Accepted, but in gambling wise, bitcoin give us easy way to play online gambling, Otherwise, we all know that bitcoin really helpful for our earning wise and also other works, But still i repeated, I came here, when i know about bitcoin and i used it in different ways, So online gambling is also one way where i came because of bitcoin. So i think that how many people will come on online gambling and play it because of bitcoin. 
In fact, gambling industry is one of the best contributor on why bitcoin is successful now. People are coming in to enjoy and they have found bitcoin as a way to enjoy even with a small amount of money. Here in bitcoin there's a lot of gambling sites to choose from and we can bet a minimum amount which is not allowed in non bitcoin gambling sites.

No doubt about it and its business is now booming. Just look upon on how those gambling sites are coming out of nowhere like mushrooms, because they know that bitcoin gambling is the future of online gambling. Because many are liking on how it goes on like hiding the identity of players, no registration needed and many more.
14965  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your reason to gamble? Fun or profit? on: December 07, 2016, 09:04:36 AM
I gambled because of profit i need money that's why im trying to get money from gambling even i know in the end i will lose my money but taking risk will help me to inspired and try to do some good things to gambled and when i win i never tried to make another bet. Saving them is most important.
I think you're probably right not to gamble for profit because gambling is a game that requires luck, so less precise when used for profit. But your actions are appropriate if you win you directly stop betting and save it, it will make you safe from addiction and lose all your money. But if you consider gambling to make a profit and you do not get it will definitely make you depressed, it may be better to consider gambling for fun.

Gambling for profit is almost everyone's purpose for playing but if we are going to make it a reason of why we are gambling then we will be expecting more. And once we are experiencing losing that will give us frustration but if we will simply make gambling as a habit to entertain ourselves if we lose then we lose nothing because we are having fun.
14966  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling crying thread on: December 07, 2016, 08:52:18 AM
I could've just saved it. I could've just spent it somewhere else. If I hadn't made my last bet, I wouldn't feel this way. The feeling when you see the red font knowing that you've lost it all in one go, in one second, in one click. Could've, should've, would've, the words you hear from people that lost.

Do you know that feeling?
Lol just moved one what happen last time is just a happy memories of your experience in gambling if you couldn't moved on then don't play gambling anymore wait till you don't remember anything from your past. When you're playing in gambling make sure that you can afford what you can lose. It's normal that people will blame them selves when they lost.
It is normal to blame themselves and its even more normal to forget it the next day and hence continue again.

I think while its fine to cry after a big loose because that reduces your tension and sharing decreases pain for sure. But doing so also means that you lost your control for sometime after loosing and maybe make a bookmark to that post of yours where you cried and hence whenever you feel like gambling just visit it.

There are times that we will experience losing streak and accept the fact that we can't go back to the past and get back our losses. Much better if you will just simply forget that loss man or else you will keep on thinking that again and again. May we know on how much you did lose and you are acting you are the most unfortunate person in this world?
14967  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: In what gambling games are you good at? on: December 07, 2016, 08:41:30 AM
Well I was under gamblers fallacy and thought for awhile I was good at blackjack. That was untill I lost everything I made and more trying to win it back. I kept trying but then eventually admitted defeat and gave up. Probably the best choice since I was losing badly. But hey that is how t he casinos get you involved and into gambling.

The worst thing to do in gambling is chasing or trying to get back losses. If you don't want to lose even more money then it is better don't go for recovering losses instead invest that money in some other places and over the time you will get back your money. Gambling is not for earning money and should be very careful.

That is not even happening to you because many gamblers then to be good at their first try with other gambling games. And in the end they are just going to lose all their winnings and that is making them addicted in gambling the wrong way, because of that attitude of chasing those losses. This is also happening even you are good on a particular game.
14968  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When is Gambling Like Investing on: December 07, 2016, 07:41:57 AM
I'm not a fan of gambling by itself, but instead as a way of studying and learning about other things.  For instance, I'm sure that if elderly people kept playing card games, it would help keep their minds alert.  Studying poker involves studying human nature and probabilities.   There are other aspects like studying risk in gambling, which is like studying risk in investing. 

Does anyone have any examples of how gambling is like investing?


According to me Gambling Never Be like investing Because Gambling Only Depends Upon your Luck and you are putting your money in gambling games to try your fortune but In investing you are putting your money in investment projects to grow your money. Also the Risk factor is not same in gambling and investing.

But in the end, you have one goal for using both activities. You are gambling to grow your money and you are also investing to grow your money. For me, they are just the same because you are both risking your money in those ways. And as long as you are aiming to grow your money you will need to take the risk because if you won't, you won't gain anything.
14969  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you were rich, would you still gamble? on: December 07, 2016, 07:32:31 AM
I will still gamble even if i am already rich, Being rich will give me more chance to win if i will use martingale strategy because i will have a lot of money for recovering every losing bet. Also being rich will make me not think of how much i am already losing.
There are plenty of rich man that constantly do gambling and it become like a lifestyle. anothers reason why people still want to gambling even they were rich, looking for more (greediness). I will, still gambling but for fun purpose if I'm bored and just use some certain amount to spend for, so I won't loss too much.
But I guess a costly lifestyle will not sustain for long run. How long a rich gambler will be afford to spend just for his entertainments. I guess most of the rich man will not gamble. If they are simply continuing their gambling, there will be no possibility of being rich for them in their rest of life.

There are some gamblers who are gambling because they don't care about their money as long as they are enjoying then that's the most important thing to them. And there are some rich people who are also wise, they are not putting their money to risk with gambling because they know that if they are going to be addicted to it, that can make them poor and bankrupt.
14970  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you want to become Rich you need to Put Higher bets on: December 07, 2016, 07:22:03 AM
Of course you won't get rich by just betting small bets. If you want bigger profit you should bet bigger amounts too. Only luck wil make you rich by putting only small bets. But gambling is not a way to get rich. If you want to get rich you must work hard for it not depend on gambling.

I guess everyone knows that. Some people might experience it in a nice way (learning it here in gambling discussions) and some from the hard or the negative way (experiences of losses especially big ones)

I think the mind set of people should've "Gamble not to profit but to enjoy" don't bet something you can't afford to lose.

Many are thinking that way, if they will gamble with higher bets that will make them big chance of winning higher amounts. But you are both right with it, we need to know that gambling is just for entertainment because if you will think that gambling is a way to get rich then we work hard anymore but we will going to gamble harder.
14971  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling problem on: December 07, 2016, 07:07:30 AM
A lot of people have gambling problems but this is not bad or something because its something that is mostly temporary.
The fact that you have problem with gambling, we can already call that as a serious problem. It's temporary only because there's no permanent in this world, but how long would it last? Does it mean we have to experience bankruptcy before we figure out how to solve the problem?
Indeed, gambling problem is a serious matter and should not be taken lightly because it can led to more problems not just for yourself but also the relationship with your family.

That's true, it is surely going to affect your relationship with your family if you will not able to settle your gambling problems like addicted in it. And if you will not stop, then you will be greedy enough and you will totally forget your family's need because you are focusing into recovering all your losses that you have gambled.
14972  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you like slot games ? on: December 07, 2016, 06:45:24 AM
This is the kind of gambling game which i really hates a lot because chances of winning is very slim compared to dice and other games. I do easily lose up my money fast when i play slot games.Lets say i bet of play for 10 bets out of it i do only win for 1 - 2x only which is really frustrating and such a waste of money and it does really need luck in able to win and i think most people would say the same thing too.

Seems we have the same reason for hating, because I cannot find my luck with slot games that's I totally forget slot games and manage to gamble with dice game and sports betting. And I won't gamble with slot games anymore because it is truly a curse for me, I guess or I'm not that just too lucky by playing this game.
14973  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can I use my small amount for GAMBLING? on: December 07, 2016, 06:36:18 AM
It's better to bet on something that not all left to chance. Dice games are fun but risky. You might be better off betting on sports that you have some knowledge about.
Well, gambling is risky so whatever type of gambling games you do is risky. Bear in mind that you have to ensure that you'll put only what your budget says for gambling, you might be having a big problem if you try to bet your money not intended for gambling. Using small amount of bet is good and you came to the right place as in bitcoin gambling you are allowed to gamble with small amount of money.

i agree with Positid said and its true because many of gamblers for first time using small amount for gambling and then that gamblers see that his chance to winning is not big, then he decided to  continue to playing gambling and using the other money just expecting to get winning in the games, but in the end he is only get loss.
It's not healthy gambling anymore, the fact that you use other money not for gambling you are building a big problem what will hit you in the future. In order to have a good stay with gambling, you need to ensure that you are doing it right and play only the amount intended to it.

You don't want to experience in the future that you will have a big debt because of gambling, it's stupid I guess.
It depends on how you will look at gambling, if you think that gambling is giving you some benefits then that's going to be a good thing. But it is always giving you an headache whether you are betting for small amount only then stop that addiction already. And with strategy of gambling for small amount I guess this will help you to be able to gamble for a longer time.
14974  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Steam accepting btc - will it affect the forum market? on: December 07, 2016, 06:22:15 AM
Off course it wont affec tthe forum martket i think it will only stimulate the people who are using the forum martket just everyone wants to pay with the bitcoin also on steam!
It wont really affect the forum market and theres no relation between the adoption and the forum market itself. It will surely stimulate people especially to those people who are always buying steam credits  will surely got curios if they saw about bitcoin but some will surely check it first and might got their interest or not.

I think there is an affection in the market or forum market for steams acceptance of bitcoin and not just steam but also other companies who are going to adopt bitcoin because that is going to help bitcoins demand by allowing their customers to pay using bitcoin. But still it needs to be promoted by steam and the case that I can see steams acceptance have a big help to the forum market because there are a lot of merchants who are selling in game items for cheaper price with bitcoin but I don't know on how they are getting it.
14975  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can I post refferal link of hot game here? on: December 05, 2016, 05:08:58 AM
No, it's against forum rules. You can't create threads solely for the purpose of advertising a referral link.

However, if someone asks "Good gambling sites?" or a similar topic, you can reply with a referral link, provided no one in the thread has already mentioned the site.

I think even replying to someones reply with your referral link not allowed but without referral link that is fine. I can suggest that put your referral link in your signature or your personal text or you can create your own blogging site and put all your referrals there and post your blog here in you want to get a lot of referrals.
14976  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: December 05, 2016, 04:56:41 AM
Indiana Pacers Vs Los Angeles Clippers

los angeles clippers this nowr rank 3 in west division and good score, with average 109 point per game
and indiana pacer this season is bad defence, and this now rank 10 east division with average 103 point per game
my prediction over 200 point, and LA clippers -5,5


At this time I have to skip the statistics, Clippers are expected to win this game after a long road game and back at home playing. Most teams, loses in their first game back at home, however Clippers would not allow that to happen, they lose to Pacers already and Pacers are really unpredictable, sometimes they win by blowout and sometimes lose by big margin.

Clippers ML, sounds safer.

Go for clippers man, good standing means good performance unlike Indiana Pacers they are ranked number 10. But still let's don't get be comfortable about it, the ball is round and everything can happen unexpected with basketball and in this season. A lot of surprise are happening, better to bet on the team that you support with confidence.
I agree with you there. Confident in a team that you like. Because just choosing by the stats doesn't cut you a win.
The Knicks game was only 6 point difference and ended at 104-98 and they had alot of chances to score in the last minute of play but was just fooling around with out of bounds play and could not inbound it properly to score.
Maybe they are protecting this game to go under, I am pretty sure a lot of bettors pound the over as both teams and good in offense but lack of defense. Anyhow, the Kings trying to rally but they were short of time and still the underrated Knicks had to continue their impressive home record.
Its a big comeback but came short at the final minutes knicks really show how well they are if playing as team and making it hard for their opponents to bring them down at home thanks for the win knicks parlay with okc give me some good earnings today.

It's good to be back with knicks and it is getting my trust again. But what do you think will be the result of their next game with Miami Heat? Top 7 standing NYK versus Top 13 Miami Heat.  With my own opinion, NYK will get this game and able to to beat heat in their own home court. Let's go for Knicks all the way.

if I may be honest I always spend all my salary to buy a certain item I like, yeah I'm very hard to control my desire to buy something, there is the suggestion that I was not too extravagant?
After reading this I have only one question - where do you hold all this things on which your spend all of your salary?
That is not so wise as I think. What will you do if you loose your work one day suddenly? I think you have to make some basis for such situation.
Yes I agree, he just didn't have any emergency money that can help him in that condition. I prefer like to save some part of my salary and spend the other part but not extravagantly.

That's a good way of saving and managing your money and make it a habit that every time you will receive your salary. Get a portion of it and deposit it to the bank instantly, so that when the times of emergency comes. You can pull a fund with it or if you want to, you can also use it in any investment that you wanted to invest.
14978  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can I use my small amount for GAMBLING? on: December 05, 2016, 04:20:33 AM
In gambling, you can use any amount, But i suggest you, first you should see you pocket, I mean better is that use small amount in every time in gambling. Because in this way, if you lose so you can afford it and instead of it, if you play big bet and think if you win than it will be a good for you, But in fact it is useless way, because you can't afford it.
That's why we call gambling is a risky way, and also you want invest you amount, So why not you play gambling. It is best way for experience wise. 

I agree and this is the best strategy to do whether you are beginner or experienced gambler. Applicable in beginners just to let them experience the essence of gambling with small amount but its up to them on they will developed their gambling skills. And for the experienced gamblers, depending on them too there are some gamblers who are good in betting big amount.
14979  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online Gambling vs Real Gambling on: December 05, 2016, 04:07:07 AM
But the other part of online gambling, even under age people are also gambling that is really an unwanted thing for a young generation.
Yes that is the saddest part of online gambling. When considering this point, I guess government restrictions are very good for every human because gambling itself very dangerous to kill our happy life. Instead of allowing gambling, world wide why not all the countries think about to ban it.
Please don't be so melodramatic on this. Not everything should be prohibited by government and authorities, people are not stupid animals they have free will and fair share of a brain.
If underage kid is gambling it is a problem for his parents, they should take care of him and tell him that gambling can lead him to bad end. If kid is using his own money to gamble then let him do it.
He will lose it sooner or later and stop.
Not the government responsibility anymore but for the parents, government has so many things to do for the people and they have to focus on a bigger problem and since we us parents are more capable of monitoring our minor children, we have to do our task and help the government to fight this problem. In the end, we are the only ones who will suffer.

Parental guidance is not the job of the government it is each family to be responsible and discipline their children. They can simply put some blocking software to block online gambling sites. But if their kid is too techie enough then sorry for them, its their negligence if their kid is going to get addicted with online gambling.
Exactly, nowadays kids are more smarter than the previous generation while your parents are from previous generation, if they are not adopting with the new technology they have no idea that it is easy to gamble online and kids or minors can easy fool their parents. Sometimes, parents should learn that the world is moving and needs to educate themselves to keep an eye properly of their children.

But I know also that there are some cases that kids are also gambling in physical casino's and do real action with gambling. I don't even how they are able to enter the casino if they are implementing such rule and restrictions about legal age of gamblers. My friend told me and that he was able to enter into a casino and play even he is just 17 years old but he looks like old man.
