The reasons for becoming addicted to gambling vary from person to person. It can range from a desire to win big therefore not knowing when to stop, to people turning to gambling as a means of getting away from other life troubles. Gambling is an activity from which we get a buzz and thrills from when you play it. Its pretty difficult to put a stop to something that gives us a buzz except may activities which are physically tasking, gambling isn't. Most times its in a very relaxed and comfortable environment which means one can easily continue gambling for a long time. Add to this the lure of winning big, doubling your money etc. I think enjoying something and then staking money on it gambling is such a toxic recipe for addiction.
It is the same for all person because the main reason is because we are getting greedy. we want to win money and thats the reason why we keep playing. We keep on playing with the intention of making more money. When we lose we get depressed thats why most people are addicted, I can ensure that it is the same for all the people |

As long as you do not use all your profit, I mean as long as you keep some of your profit and use it partly to gamble, that's ok. It's your right to use all your profits, but when you've won a profit, why not save some? Would not it be a waste if you lost again? Because you've saved some.
It is not okay for me because you are going to waste it. Most of the time we are going to lose it after we win so no point to play with our profit. We should just keep everything and come back with a fresh start however this time make sure that you are not playing for profit but for fun. By doing this way , you are not going to lose huge amount |

It will only be a sin if it's illegal in our country and if we tend to do activities that will make our life miserable like being too greedy, spending our allowance that is alloted for more important things since every decisions have consequences so we shoild know our priorities.
Illegal or not when we gamble it is a sin but it would be more terrible if it is illegal. Depending on where you live, some people may see it as a way of life so this kind of thing dont bother them. It doesnt bother me as well although I live in a country that forbid me from gambling. For some people that might be bothering them and also preventing them from gambling |

If you need to make some profit, I'd suggest you to make a long term investment in any reliable coin. Gambling is a game, not a way to earn money.
Long term investment is much better than gambling but in this case I think when we say anything about invesment that means we are talking about gambling site investment. In the long term, gambling site investment is always going to give better return compared with any other investment out there because it is much more stable if the volume is high |

I agree with you. But here's a tip. Set a limit when you gamble, for example you will set 3 limits, if you reached one of those limit then STOP gambling for that day.
You dont need any limit to tell you to stop gambling, you need yourself to be able to snap out of the gambling habit. Start by playing for fun, if you do this few times with a small amount then you wont be addicted in the end. That also means you are going to be able to stop anytime you want because you are playing it not for profit Besides gambling is made for fun, what we really need is to have self control and know our priorities, its good to play without worries, i mean playing when you have extra money and to enjoy when we won. No, i think gambling is not designed to give fun from the bettors but rather to give profit for the gambling bankers, but we people choose to get fun out of it for the reason that profit as well is the benefit of gambling and we didn't know that in the long run exposure of gambling will make us to be addicted on it, much more if we always taste the winning moment. So to control greed from gambling we should always keep on mine that anytime and any point as we gamble then we can always meet the situation that make us greed and to avoid that is to stop and make another way around to make a safe profitable way. Depending on how you play because if you deposit a big amount then you will most likely want to win big amount as well. Sometimes people dont udnerstand this but the key is to deposit small amount and play. Do this everytime and your urge to win money will be gone, in the end you are going to be having so much more fun playing |

Balance in a way that gives the house the advantage but not for the gamblers. When it's come to this thing, there's nothing wrong on it. The business is running and what can you expect from them, they want to keep on operating and that's the system goes. Advantage goes to them and don't expect too much but there will be circumstances that a gambler will win on them, thinking that he/she can take out all the casino's funds and that way of thinking is wrong.
There is nothing wrong with gambling but it is wrong to keep gambling all your money away. It will be a different story if you are the owner but we do see this from a gambler's perspective because if you are the owner then you are going to win but if you are not then you will most likely lose. So whats the point to lose our money further? I know there are people who are that much addicted in gambling and they can't resist to gamble all their funds that way. Even their salaries, they are using it to gamble and they can't help themselves. They are even forgetting what are their goals and priorities just because of the aim that they can win that much in gambling and also recover most of their losses with it. Worst is that they dont care about what is going to happen if they lose. All they ever want is to get money from gambling. Some people got into depression after they lose alot of money, some tried to end their life but there are some people that is able to get this as their own lesson . If we put this as our lesson then this will definitely help us grow |

What is MBI? Is that the official crypto/trading symbol for monsterbyte's token perhaps?
If it is then what exchange are they on so we are able to get some before the merger has been finalized and the API has been implemented on the site's platform?
You heard of their name before, they are known more for the team behind bitcoinrush and peerbet. They are one of the oldest bitcoin gambling site to date and yes they have their own token. You can check more about it here https://monsterbyte.io/https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/monster-byte/#marketsThis good news is going to boost their popularity soon and of course the token price might be slightly getting up as well soon Thanks for chiming in oHnK! Correct, MBI is currently 'tradeable' on the Waves DEX, albeit with extremely low liquidity (based on various reason, mainly the Waves DEX). We've been pursuing to get listed on other exchanges since our ICO, and we still have not given up that goal. More to come on this in our quarterly report which will be published before the end of the month. Shortly, we will be soliciting some feedback on features you as players, or App owners, would most be looking for ahead of that time. After consolidating that feedback, we will be publishing a consolidated 2018 roadmap later this month We are extremely excited about the MP merger, and really look forward to continue to advance the MoneyPot product and brand! Yes of course its a pleasure, this is one of the biggest thing that happen in our gambling community. Sooner or later MBI should be traded in some exchanger but it doesnt really matter at this point. Im just wondering if the teams behind moneypot are now still the same? or the old team of MP is totally replaced by MBI team? |

Should. However, I prefer to cashout all my money. Because if forwarded certainly profits we have achieved ended up losing all.
You can prefer to do this every time you gamble so that your profit will be safe on your end. I usually play with my profit and that's what I'm doing with the money that I'm winning with gambling. I want to take back my bankroll and replacing it with the profit I made. It is smarter to just withdraw our profit and call it a day. If we think clearly then it is no use to keep playing with our profit. The risk of losing everything is just so high and it is not worth it. If we win from gambling, that is a miracle already so take the profit and leave it. You can play but with less amount then what you win not with everything you won |

Gambling addiction, just like any other kind of addiction, will make the perpetrator feel that nothing else matters more than what he does. People who are addicted will tend to forget about other kinds of activities in their lives. Gambling gives an empty hope to their riders. Instead of earning easy money, most gamblers will lose their money or precious time and even more. We can gamble but do not get us addicted!
I was one of those addicted gambler as well and I can confirm that I tend to forget everything when I am addicted. All I care about was to keep gambling so that I can make money, actually not make money but to get back what I have lost. Alot of things could happen when we gamble but to be addicted is the worst that is going to happen |

For me i go to the second idea, if i have doubled already my money i’ll take and keep back the half and continue to play just with my profit, at least if unfortune strikes and i lose, i have already make safety of my capital, and lose nothing😃
That means you are wasting your time for nothing . If you lose that means you are going to lose your profit , if you actually play for fun then it might worth it but it seems you are playing for profit so you are playing for nothing when you lose everything. If you want to waste your time like that it is better to just play some other game that could give you some fun |

People have different belief but in gambling we just have one purpose which is to win, if we cannot make a sin then we should be responsible to only bet what we can afford to lose because that is the only way where we can enjoy and appreciate gambling. It's not a mature attitude if we will blame gambling for our loses because that is normal that is why we have to control.
It is a sin because in every religion , we are not suppose to gamble but it depends on each person as well. Some religion forbid you from drinking and smoking but alot of people still do that. It is not our thing to discuss wether someone committed a sin or not because everyone is going to be responsible for their own action when they die |

I think sometimes being an addict is good for you. For example, being an addict of reading newspaper or something like that because these are things which will not let you to feel ashamed of yourself in some gathering. However, being addicted to things which are not entertained by the society is a sin and for this you should feel ashamed of yourself because this thing can put you in harm all the time.
Doing everything too intensively is not good. If you keep reading without doing anything else then you might risk your eyes as well. Everything that we do intensively is never good and it will backfire to us. Thats the same as being addicted to gamble, we might want to consider it as a good thing but the truth is that it isnt a good thing |

Bitcoin expensive because of its price value is high. Yeah, it is right, when we play with bitcoin then we take a big risk with our big money but if we win then no doubt we have double bitcoin. But instead of it that bitcoin is going to expensive but still people like to play with it and continuously gamblers are playing bitcoin gambling. Because bitcoin has more online gambling sites other than coins.
It is the same when we play with other altcoin as well but if you think that it is expensive then you could just use a very small amount to play. Most site allow you to gamble as low as 100 satoshi, that is less than $1 so it should be fine. The main thing is that when you want to withdraw from the site, the transaction fees is quite high if you use bitcoin |

I don’t think the same about gambling as you are thinking. Gambling cannot help people to maintain their patience. However, it is opposite in the case of gambling.
Gamblers cannot work with patience because they have nothing left after losing the match for which they have to show the patience. Also, the gamblers try to win back their losses every time they fail to win and this shows that they are always in a hurry.
Some people could do it but some people couldnt resist the urge to keep playing after they lose. If we only spend a small amount then that might work but when we are playing with a big amount then it wouldnt work. So the benefit is actually the ability for us to handle our patience especially when we losebig amount, it might not work at first but it will |

Actually in case of bitcoin gambling everyone does it for fun only...as all the website are doing their own business they may not allow you make a lot profit more than they gets from you...so nobody thinks of profit...its fun only.
You are very wrong on this because alot of people always treat gambling as a way of making money and only a small amount of player actually think that bitcoin gambling is a way of getting fun. If you dont think you cant win that means you cant win a fair way not because the site is rigged. Your sentence just implied that it is rigged. |

The real thing is gambling is just a game and many just allow us to take part in this games in the real life or even at online games nowadays. On face play gambling for fun not for earning because that is the first point people lose. It is not an income source but it does have strategies to, but all the games can be cracked I'm coming as you have already seen the martingale theory and some other theory casinos always win at the long run so the only thing you can do is you can try sometimes with your luck.
In the long run it is just going to be so much worse. Money is never going to be everything because we cant win , the only thing that we can get is having fun. Besides that when we want to get money from gambling, our only chances relly on investing in gambling site . If we try to get it by playing that would be a waste of time and money |
