15101  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What you like when gambling alone/ with your friend? on: November 23, 2016, 10:33:46 PM
I prefer live gambling with friends in a casino.

It just adds so much more excitement to the whole experience. You can feel the tension with every bet and your friends share that in your bets and you share it in their bets.

If one of you wins big, it is a nice party afterwards as well, even if you yourself lost.
With friends in a real casino, different experience, big win, the party looks great. If it works, it's amazing but if all of us lose all money in gambling then what is our situstion. I think in losing also, we will get more fun with friends right. Everyone feel bad inside, but no one will disclose outside am I right? I never had this type of experience let me have once, will try with my friends.   

This is an amazing experience and you should this, I've been with this experience that gambling with my friends but our situation is different, we allow one of us to play and sit. And instead of using his own pocket money, we are contributing for his table money. Of course, I wanted to be on the safe haven, I'm just contributing not that big amount so when we lose, I'm the happiest but when we win I'm the saddest because depending on the amount you contributed will be shared.
15102  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your gambling strategy on: November 23, 2016, 10:19:59 PM
Yup! play sports betting instead there are a much higher possibility that you can win with it, if you are good at analyzing on sports by seeing the strength and skill of the player or a team you can most of the time win in it, and if you are good at poker because poker is a skill and luck base game there is a certain hustlers in this kind of gambling that is why you can surely win a much higher percentage.
sports betting is comparably easy and you have some good chance in sports betting to make money, actually in sports betting your skill and experience is count therefore you have better chance to make money in sports betting. Playing only sport betting also must one of the gambling strategy in my opinion too.

This sports betting I guess has the fairer system rather than other games. And you don't need to have too much strategy for this game. The only thing you need to know are the teams that are playing and look at the odds where you think you will likely in favor of but as long  as the odds are lower and if you think you know that team will win, then just simply bet.
15103  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: High bet amounts or low bet amounts? What is your style? on: November 23, 2016, 10:09:48 PM
i bet on low amounts , and pick safest choice , i know it is only give a little profit but atleast it give me some fun, and enjoy the game without afraid to get lost too much
Yep, betting with low amounts is safe and the fun lasts long lol. the profit isn't big, but at least we get to have some fun without losing huge sum. Wink

This is what I'm doing, I just bet the amount what I afford to lose. Betting small amount is the best style so far and many have been doing this. Because I tried to play with big amounts and I can say I am not that being lucky on that style, so instead of recovering my loses I changed the way I gamble and this is more effective.
15104  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Putting money in lottery is gambling too? on: November 23, 2016, 10:01:53 PM
in my opinion buy lottery tickets is called gambling because you risk your money on the games
risk money to win some prize is called gambling i guess
there will be winner choosen and of course some the players is loser
Yes, we are risking your money with lottery and to win a lottery we are highly depend on our luck alone.
These are enough aspects to call lottery a gambling. But I believe there will not be any entertainment is possible with lottery system, so it must be a pure gambling or a variation of gambling.

All types of game that has money wagered are pure gambling alone so even without entertainment lottery is pure gambling. But I don't know if there are people who are enjoying playing this game or they are just simply liking it because of the chance of winning big amount of money.
15105  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to quit Gambling for good? on: November 23, 2016, 09:41:59 PM
It is not necessary to quit gambling. You should just do it responsibly, gambling with the amounts you can easily afford to lose. If you can't do that then it is very unlikely you'll manage to quit gambling even if you think that this is very important. So my advice: do not quit but rather learn to contol yourself.
But how long a gambler will afford to lose ? I believe after some point of time or after having some amount of losses with gambling, a gambler will think of quitting it. So, why not we should simply quit before risking all of our wealth.

I never agree that it is not necessary to quit gambling. It must be one of the necessity for a gambler to save his rest of life.

As long as a gambler has bitcoin or money on his pocket he will keep on gambling. Repentance is always in the end, that's why we can't just simply quit gambling for good in the first place. So when we experience losing on a streak, that's the stage of thinking if you wanted to quit or wanted to keep on gambling to recover the lost amount.
15106  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling loses and wins on: November 23, 2016, 03:50:29 PM
So.... how much have you win or loss gambling ?? And what did you stake ?
I've lost about $60 so far but im planning to win it back. Pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered.
A saying well said, however i still need to learn it since my greed is my downfall. Guys and girls
how much money have you made or lost gambling ? Any pointers or warnings ? 
I always playing in gambling with small capital let's say that im going to play with the capital of 0.015 of bitcoin and then if i turn it into 0.03 or double it i just stop playing gambling i don't try to push my luck when i already when then i stop i don't want to take my profit back or get again set goal is always a matter.

Really you are treating 0.015 BTC as small capital? That is even my biggest or maximum amount of gambling. And that is the best thing to do, when we are able to make our capital double then that's the right time to stop. Because if you will aim to make it tripled then you will also have another problem for it, just don't expect too much and aim too much.
15107  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: November 23, 2016, 03:31:40 PM
Cleveland Cavaliers vs Portland Trail Blazers This game will get finished around 205 points, I also think bet on under points will be potentially good there and I will under 219.5 points for betting there, Cavaliers have good offense and can win this game as they will be on home court but their scoring points will be around 105.


They will destroy portland.... Take the points. Turner has the worst +/- in the NBA, no good big men, only CJ and Lillard can constantly put up a performance.

No doubt about this game and for sure Cleveland Cavaliers will get this game. But still I know Portland is sort of a team just like what happened to their past games. The Cavs will able to come back again to the finals for this season. Believe me, Lebron is an illuminati and they will Lebron to get to the finals so always bet for him.  Grin

Well I can't buy Ferrari from my winnings but I can have a good holidays and that is super cool for me

I wish I could buy ferrari from my winnings also. But I can say that I'm not rich from gambling and I can't even get good amount of money in gambling. What I am just doing is gamble what I afford to lose and doesn't hope for any big amount of return. I guess those people who are becoming rich from gambling are those people who are really lucky.
15109  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you know when to stop? on: November 23, 2016, 02:43:38 PM
One stops gambling when they don’t have money anymore. Me, I stop gambling when I realized it is not me. I am not the type of person who will risk my hard earned money just by luck. I tried it still, but on the second time I managed to stop because I realized it is not me. I realized there are still other ways to improve my life and to save money. If you don't have enough money in your pocket better to stop before your bet something that will ruin your life.
You will not know when to stop when you do not have a good plan to stop. You are right, you will only stop when you bankroll is wipe out and that's common to us gamblers who does not have enough bankroll to gamble. We mostly rely on our luck and we just set up a new bankroll on a daily basis if we play daily.

That is our mindset , we tend to keep on playing and gambling if we still have something in our pockets, wallets , bank accounts and even from our parents. But if you will experience to have nothing then for sure that is the best reason to know that you really must stop. Because how can you sustain your addiction if you don't have something.

That's why we have to learn our self control which many gamblers doesn't have that skills/attitude. Well for some of those people who experienced their downfall in gambling are the ones who learned to stop learn from them.

when to stop gambling? much better to stop as early as now. there's no such thing as  limits. don't wait till you run out of anything. I'd been there before. I even almost lost my family. so quit as early as now.  Smiley

There's no problem if you wanted to stop now it is just going to depend on how gambling really affects your life. So if that is severe and your life is being wrecked for the whole time by gambling because of your negligence and not capable of controlling your own emotion. And your situation is really that severe so you must really stop as early as today.
15110  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: November 22, 2016, 10:08:20 PM
I don't know why but I always get a feeling to gamble, after then losing my money, I quit for some time and then continue, but I know I will lose my btc Sad

Why is it so addictive?

I know why gambling so addicting, I think because we always have hope of winning big in short time..
If we lose it makes us want to get back what we lost..

Yes that's the true reason why gambling is addictive. But there are some people who are getting addicted with gambling but not just with the same reason. Because some of them just wanted to gamble and they cannot attain or their day will not be completed unless they will gamble. Maybe it is just their hobby to gamble and passion.
15111  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your gambling strategy on: November 22, 2016, 10:02:23 PM
What do you think is better - gambling on smallest bets on games with jackpots or just gambling high rolls? Playing marginal hi lo - odd 2 with 100% or odd 3 with 100%? Slots or cards? I like to gamble, share with me your strategies, wining or losing...
What i think much more better is not to gambling you're just loosing money and throwing bitcoin there If you really want to earn bitcoins then it's much better if you are going to trading sites, Well here are my trading strategies im going to see what the most sell altcoins then im going to buy also and wait till the flow rise up it's like gambling also you are going for the right time to bet high then if you hit it withdrew simple.
Saying that you are just like throwing your money is a sign of defeat, and with that kind of mentality you are not good in gambling, what we are talking here is the strategy and not to gamble at all because we feel like we are wasting our money is not a strategy at all.
Im not throwing my money from any gambling website im trying to double it with the best way and the way i know that i can really double my bitcoin and this is not the reason why i came always in gambling is not only having fun instead having a good profit every time i played we had a differences method playing gambling.

That sign of throwing money or the strategy of playing YOLO is not a sign of defeat but it is a sign that you are desperately wanted to recover all your losses and I would say that this is not the best strategy. Because a good gambling strategy is just you need to be always calm and just manage to bet small amounts so that you will not be hurt when you lose.
15112  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: is gambling worth to try for newbie? on: November 22, 2016, 03:06:21 PM
hello there,
i was newbie to bitcoin.
already collected some from faucets, service and giveaway.
is gambling worth to try for me?
or it can be double edge for me?
No I will not suggest to you to gamble if you don't know and donot have experience into it. Its 100% loosing chance when your newbie. But if you want to learn how to play it you need to risk atleast small amount to try. Gambling is fun but don't play it seriously with high amount of money.
It's good to try a little bit of gambling as for experience.. you just have to control yourself to it otherwise, you'll end up losing a lot of money. Just have fun when you gamble and stop when you lose some amount of your money.

Hmm, I think it is pretty well done. because the more we know about the gambling system it will be more and we know what we have to do, but when a gambling we should eliminate all thoughts about how to find an advantage or other things that are worth the benefits. Think about that in the bitcoin just looking for an experience and not much more than that

With my opinion, it might be a double edge for you or not. Because that will depend on your luck, if you are going to play games that are basing and depending on your luck. But if you will play gambling games that are just requiring some skills like sports betting, then go for it. If you know what you are doing and you afford the money you are gambling, that's fine. Just try it and you are the only will judge yourself.
15113  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to quit Gambling for good? on: November 22, 2016, 02:59:49 PM
First, strengthen your intention to stop gambling. Because the intent is the first and very important to stop gambling.
Then, do not ever visit the gambling sites, not even to visit if only to look around. Then, try to find a new activity,
find another hobby that can take your time.

That is the best thing to do quit gambling for good. You must look for some other things that can make your interest get. Just like getting into some group activities like mountain hiking, visiting the delicious restaurants and as well as having your very own hobby like fishing and playing basketball. This is risk free,healthy and will help you to save money.
By quitting gambling you consider it as part of your non productive activity, you must understand that it should be played for fun but you didn't therefore you get addicted and now suffer the consequences, it's a long process before you are in the situation but one thing is certain you cannot go back to the past and you need to fight you addiction.

Yes that is needed to be fought for, because if you will not help yourself and you will not fight for it. You will still be the loser of your own addiction.
Just admit that gambling is not helping your life either, so instead of keeping your addiction alive. And just like what I have said to look for other things, you should even get engage to gambling again. Because it can simply pull you into addiction again and again.
15114  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is GAMBLING? on: November 22, 2016, 02:48:12 PM
I think gambling is a game. Because the gambling we have to play by placing bets in advance. So gambling is a game that requires luck. Gambling can be considered a business by the owners of gambling sites. Because they will get great profits from the business gambling sites they have. But in general gambling is a game, we should bet before then we will win or lose.

I just don't even think that gambling is a game because I knew it that it is a game, a game of luck where your money will be wagered and it depends upon your luck if you are going to win on specific game that you'll bet. And my another meaning gambling, it is one of the reason why many people are becoming wrecked for not being a responsible player of it.
15115  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: In what gambling games are you good at? on: November 22, 2016, 02:38:58 PM
Hey! Good day to you! I would like to ask you about what gambling games are you good at so that i will know or other people will know how many user play that gambling game and would recommend me to play some of your games so that i won't be scanned in any website games so that i you can recommend me something fun and wild in gambling games.  Grin Grin

it is really hard for me to say.
i have played a lot of dice games and i still do sometimes but you can't say you are really good at a dice games since there is not much to it apart from clicking a button and watching the screed for a red streak!

but also recently i have been trying to expand my horizons and learn more games mostly poker and sports betting and although i have started recently i am getting better at them.

Dice games are really good to make yourself to be good at it. You just need to have enough capital for playing it and if you don't want to use your bitcoins for gambling, you can also try to have some practice with the use of the alt coins that you are using. And its been effective to me, I can say that my timing chance increased with dice because of that strategy.
15116  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling problem on: November 22, 2016, 02:30:44 PM
If you have a gambling problem, don't log into this forum. This is pointless
If you have problem with your gambling then you must quit gambling, NOT this forum. If you really look for a solution you may share your problem here and this community will always help you to find out the root cause of it.

Sharing your problem will help other gamblers to avoid similar situations. In general, gambling problems are most common and its root cause must be addictions.

And if he will just let his problem to stay in himself and won't allow to get some help from others then that his problem will not ever be solve. Because if he has a gambling problem and he can't even solve it. And who do you think is/are the one/s that will help you for that? That's way there is a community and forum like this, in able to help any types of problem of the people.
15117  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Losing investment on Gambling sites on: November 22, 2016, 12:45:47 PM
I personally think that compared to other investment options, investing in casino bankroll is still the best and less risky:

1. It's a long-term passive investment: meaning, you earn money without doing anything. You just let it sit there and maybe monitor from time to time. Unlike trading, where you need to be up-to-date on latest news on coins/market/etc. Also unlike lending, where you have to personally deal with users on a daily basis, and the risks of a bad loan are just too great, also in case of default on loan, you will have to find buyers and sell just to get back your capital.

2. Less risk. Definitely less risk. And in case of loss on a particular month, it can recover. It's not really every day that a whale wins big. I also prefer sites with medium size bankroll. I get to have better percentages.

No, investing in gambling sites are not less risk instead they are just the same risk as with other investments or as playing gambling alone. This is just you are lending your bitcoins to the gambling sites and for adding to their bankroll. But in return, they are going to pay you with interest depending on their profit and shares of your investment. That's why you really can't be assured even though many are into this type of investment. Precaution is still needed and don't just get comfortable that just because you invested there, you still have the chance to lose.
15118  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit Gambling for Good, think for your loved ones on: November 22, 2016, 12:35:54 PM
Gambling is not that bad, relax.

Fixed for you : "Gambling isn't that bad until you lose everything, betrayed/hated by your loved ones and become poor, so just relax." Roll Eyes

It is not even relaxing when we are experiencing these type of problems as we gamble. And besides before these incidents happen, let's just be serious to it that we need to stop the root cause for the sake of our love ones. There are a lot of families that quarreling because of one member of the family who are addicted in gambling.
Many would really got affected especially when you are the ones get addicted into gambling. YOur family loves you and they wont let that problems would gone worst in into you. If you love them  then its better  to leave gambling or quit it for the sake of  your family because if you continue such addiction may  unpleasant things that will surely happen  into you. If you don't like that to experience then its better to  quit gambling for good.
A family is called a family when they love each other, meaning they care for each other and they will advise to correct once mistake. If your problem is known to your family, for sure they will help you to quit.

You have to sacrifice something to them also that you will do your best for the good of all.

Yes that is what you call a true family. Especially when they really knew that gambling is your weakness and you can't help yourself but to keep on gambling. For you don't have a capacity to help yourself to quit for real. But if that is really too much and you are not even appreciating their help. And maybe they are the ones who will quit and give up for helping you and they will stop advising you.

Definitely not "good at" any gambling games because you can't really achieve a good consistent return from gambling whatever game you play in my opinion. But I like playing dice, and blackjack.

And that is clearly tells that regardless of the game that you are good that, and if you think you are getting some good winnings with dice and blackjack so just stick with it so that your luck will be always there if you are going to play with those games. I can say that I'm not good too, but I am getting some decent winnings none other than dice.

Well being good at some games doesn't necessarily equate to winnings as there most likely be a lot of people better than you. The important thing is that you are enjoying the type of game you're playing.

You got it, because if you are just playing for the games that you wanted to play and at the same time you are enjoying your money as you are having fun. The chance of earning is there, but as long as you are enjoying it that is the best thing and feeling you need to have. Because even though you are playing a game and you are just losing but you are enjoying, I guess that's the same feeling too.
