15121  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.
15122  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.
15123  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.
15124  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.
15125  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.
15126  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.
15127  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.
15129  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.

15131  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin being used for illegal activities on: December 10, 2016, 02:12:27 PM
Bitcoin does worth money, soo i dont see any difference between use bitcoin or fiat, all knows that bitcoin is being attacked and connected to dark marketplaces, something that fiat isnt nowadays, since all the bad news are from bitcoin and i dont read any more news about fiat black markets.

No, fiat is still connected to dark marketplaces and other illegal stuffs because fiat money is same as bitcoin. Because you won't be able to be traced when you will have a transaction by simply leaving a pouch of money in a place and will be picked up by your dealer or supplier of drugs. They are just the same with bitcoin, just because criminals now are also intelligent to use different ways for their anonymity for their transactions.
15132  Other / Off-topic / Re: Bitcoin is a good investment now, because... on: December 10, 2016, 02:02:55 PM
As long as Bitcoin goes high and high every time it is a good investment for me, a currency that fluctuates high enough is good for investment. It is a matter of time until the value of bitcoins will be at 1 thousand dollar per 1 bitcoin.

It is only good for us who already have save enough bitcoins for holding and for those people who are just new for investing in bitcoin they will have hard time for buying it because the price is increasing but if they will be able to buy a lot of bitcoins while the price today is still on current value of $780+ its up to them if they will buy.
15133  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your reason to gamble? Fun or profit? on: December 10, 2016, 01:56:07 PM
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.
15134  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is better? To gamble or to invest? on: December 10, 2016, 01:46:37 PM
I still havent found any decent investment options with bitcoins other than investing in House of some dice site. I generally gamble my btc. I find gambling entertaining and I like to do it coz of that. Gamble on a game of football or tennis and watch the match is how I do it. With some live betting too.

For me it is better to invest your bitcoins rather than gambling my bitcoins. Even though it is also considered as gambling down our own bitcoins when we invest but still that is recommend thing to do. Like investing into bankroll casino's of gambling site and also the most popular type of investment which is holding of bitcoin.
15135  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are your favorite gambling games? on: December 10, 2016, 12:22:42 PM
My favorite gambling game is always dice. I always play on different dice sites and test where i can win more often. And i always like their wagered events where you can earn some big amounts if you are on their leaderboard. I sometimes gamble on sports betting but i just play there where the matching team is very obvious on who will win.
My favorite gambling games are dice and roulette because it's very simple and easy to understand the mechanics, I also play sometimes sports betting I love it because you can identify the odds that go on to fall or drop in price it also a generally winning strategy for me.

Dice game is also my favorite game because I find it very easy to use and to play. And also I like the game here in my country where you will for the race of horse, I don't know what we call that in english. And there is also a virtual game for that game but that is illegal here in my country but still I used to play that so called video race game of horses.
15136  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to stay away from gambling? suggestions ? on: December 10, 2016, 12:13:16 PM
honestly there's a lot of ways to stay away from being seduced by gambling . first start from decreasing your daily bet when you're playing gambling. ive been addicted also on gambling now im trying to stay away from it as soon as possible because its wasting my bitcoin i dont know whats on gambling but when im playing it ilike to win a bigger prize pool thats why im betting with a huge amount. and playing in a long run always led me on losing.
That's because we cannot abruptly quit in gambling, we have to do it slowly but consistently. Reducing your bets is like reducing your crave in gambling and you hope that time will come you will definitely lose interest, you need guidance on that and by doing that it's better if you have someone that inspires you like your family in particular.
yes you're right just like habits on drinking alcohol or smoking cigarettes in order to stop your bad habit you will start first on doing it slowly just like gambling. right now im still on quiting stage and i think this method is really effective. and my workmates also advising me to stop this bad habits and spend every bitcoin i have for my future and get my own house than living in a apartment.

Yes 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.

15138  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you play Dice with Autobet? on: December 10, 2016, 11:50:20 AM
I've used autobet feature but have not modified the multiplier when I lose. I did it just twice for a competition of Primedice where I needed a sequence of numbers but with real cash, nobody should use this feature as even if the multiplier and bet amount is changed, the result is not guaranteed. With small amounts, it's good to use autobet but not wiht big amounts. Also you need ot use a script to reduce the amount when lost.

That's why I'm not using autobet because it is always better to dice with the usual way. Because I always want to stand and believe with my own my of gambling and also with other types of gambling. And if you use autobet, as long as the bot sees that you have balance in your wallet, it is going to keep on dicing until you bankrupt.
15139  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I bet you have never lost more than this !!! on: December 09, 2016, 07:59:04 AM
I'm thinking that he has plan to commit suicide now. Because of his crazy betting that will end up his addiction unless he is one of the most rich guy that holds thousands of bitcoin. If he is one of it, then that 216 BTC is just nothing to him and thinks that he has donated that to nitrogensports.eu but still that lose is regretting most of us.
Even thought he losing that huge amount, i'm not sure if he did that just only for stop his addiction in gambling. We don't know about his bet previously in gambling, maybe he already won more than 216BTC or maybe that's just "normal" bet for him.

Yes maybe that's just a normal bet for him either that he just won that amount from his previous games. But still, that's really a wrong move that you will play YOLO with that big amount. 1-5 bitcoin is quite acceptable if you will do that but with hundreds of bitcoin. Well that is a different, you can do a lot of things with that amount, still we don't have idea for his intention.
15140  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you Still believe in Fiat? on: December 09, 2016, 07:49:44 AM
I am not believe in fiat/paper money anymore becouse I know if we use fiat our economy can crash only in few day like what happen in asean at 1997.

So what are you using to buy your families grocery, for paying your utility bills and for paying everything you want to purchase. Don't tell me that you are using bitcoin for all of that because we know that there are still a lot of stores that are not yet accepting bitcoin. Because we don't have choice but to keep on believing and using fiat.

You are uninformed at best and misinformed at worst

If you order one of the numerous Bitcoin payment cards, you can use it pretty much in the same way you use fiat money. That is, to buy your groceries, pay your utility bills or purchase anything you may ever want to purchase. So I have no other option but to tell you exactly that, namely, that you do have choice whether to keep on using fiat or switch bitcoins. Though it may just not make much sense to spend your precious bitcoins on everyday expenses, but this is another story

That stands true in first world countries but in most places in third world countries, it's quite hard to use your credit card/bitcoin card/ATM card to buy stuffs. Fiat is still the one that you should use (there's no other option). I'm talking about places that do not have malls. It's usually just places in the city and in malls that accepts payment directly from your card. I've also seen people (from movies) using their smartphone + some additional device to swipe your card. I've never seen anything like that in my place, honestly.

I don't trust fiat but that's right, there are so many countries/places where you can't pay by using ATM cards moreover bitcoin payment cards (they don't know what bitcoin is)  you need fiat money obviously. Until bitcoin become a famous medium of exchange in every corner of the world, we still have to use fiat. In my place there is no any merchant that accepted bitcoin except online stores but the choice is very limited now, so I just saving my bitcoin in case of usefulness in the future or if I travel to first world countries such as in Europe, UK, US or Brazil.

Well we need to accept the fact that bitcoin is not yet adopted worldwide that's why we don't have choice but to keep on using fiat money unless you are living to a place where people are fully adopting bitcoin, but I don't know if there is a place like that. And in third world countries, there are still a lot of people who are doubting about bitcoins or things about crypto.
