I think my opinion on what you say is that sometime You control yourself to stop for long periods of gambling You just make a mistake when you see a gambler so you're returning to a bad habit we have the same situation I want to avoid it but i cant do it i cant really stop it.but now i control my self for playing gambling games.

When someone return to gamble that doesnt mean he return to the old habit. What I called as returning to old habit is the habit when you keep spending money for no reason at all. If you want to gamble and have fun then you can do it with small amount but I dont think that most people will do it as they think it is fun to win alot of money

I just remember that back in 2014-2015 this kind of thing is really popular. A fair launch, a coin that pop out of no where with no specific roadmap but well yeah this kind of thing is not really 2017-2018 thing anymore. People have gone long past this point. There probably wont be alot that is going to mine these coins when the miners are busy with tons other out there

Unfortunately, societal norms dictates that people frown upon gambling and gamblers.  It is the world we live in but personally, i don't let it bother me at all.  Some people drink, some gamble, some do all sorts of other things that they find pleasure in, that's generally the way i see it.  It is not up to anyone else but us individually to determine what we do with our lives, times and finances.  No i don't feel shameful about gambling at all. I'm just aware of the fact that it is not to everyone else's  liking. 


Some people dont think of it as being shameful because they are proud if they win. Some people dont let the other know that he is gambling while some others dont care the opinion of other people . It depends on the society as well because some society dont really like people that gamble but in some society they just dont care about it
1684  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does experience matter in gambling? on: December 28, 2017, 01:10:40 PM
as I know experience is important in some gambling games such as poker, but how about the other games like dice game or roulette, do you gain any advantage from your experience, can you used your experience to win the game? or maybe because of your experience you know whether to bet low or high in dice game

So Does Experience matter to you?

Yaa.. Sometimes you just need to have any experience when playing on gambling games. It such indeed, because it is all about the technique,, your strategy on how you handle the games. You should need to know more information about the games.

Knowing more information is just going to give us advantage perhaps small advantage but it is not really going to let us win. If we want to win then all we need is luck. Without luck then it is bound to not happen. Sometimes people say that they are getting money from sportsbetting from their skills but it is not skill, it is just luck
1685  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: December 28, 2017, 01:03:27 PM
There is nothing wrong in gambling, unless you used all your money up on gambling and you still play and get huge loans that you couldn't pay for, then that is when gambling is wrong

The moment we decide to make money from a gambling site is wrong already. We cant make money from a gambling site but we can always play for fun. If we tried to make money from gambling site, eventually we are going to lose. We could lose small amount or bigger amount but losing money from that kind of stupidity is wrong
1686  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to play gambling in a smart way? on: December 28, 2017, 12:54:56 PM
Give a good plan on your gambling and do it as the plan. Don't break the plan and good things will come to you.
sometimes the plan is not help you because the more you plan the more greed you are it is like your doing everything butin the end you will end up nothing just like my friend he tells me everything about his plan and end up nothing hahaha i just laugh him because he greed so much

I think tihs kind of thing depends on the person itself.  Having a plan is always a plus.  And it would be awesome if he is determined to follow it.  No matter how greedy the person is as long as he is into following his plan during his gambling session, which is to moderate his betting, and stick to it, i guess he is playing smartly.  Greed is all in the state of mind, to counter it we should and must be determined to control and do stuff that will nullify it.
I will call it as a discipline , you do have a plan , set a target and stick to it.
Get a profit shouldn't be a primary purpose , take it easily and gamble to make your day better with the game not the money.
I know it sounds like impossible considering gambling always make you looks dumb with its addiction , but yeaa that's the only way you could play in smart way.

We dont need to have a plan because one thing that we need is self awareness that we are not meant to win in gambling. Sometimes we keep thinking that we are going to win but we probably wont win. That is why even without plan, if we are aware that we wont win then there is nothing going to stop us from leaving the game sooner
1687  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you like slot games ? on: December 28, 2017, 11:20:38 AM
I played slots many times already, i like it but not my first choice. Though if you are lucky you can win bigtime but if you are unlucky that time, you realize that your money is gone in just a snap. I do gamble for fun that is why slots is not the type of game of me.
You'll only win in slots when you are lucky because that kind of game is based on luck, I think this should only be played for fun as we can never take it seriously as this game will only make us addicted when we are challenge so much. I like to play it but I like sports betting even more, at least I can enjoy watching games when I'm betting and the result is not instant, I have more time to enjoy my money even if I lose.

Every game and not only slots but I dont really care because I play for fun. If you want to play a game that will give you some fun, it is going to be slot because the suspense of playing the game is so high . Most slots have jackpot as well so imagine how great things could be if you win the jackpot while you are just having fun there
1688  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Worst mistake in gambling on: December 28, 2017, 11:08:25 AM
Definitely, the worst mistake you can make is to go all-in. I made that mistake 3 times in my life.

It's a worst mistake if you will all-in what you've got. And committing this mistake twice is too much just like the saying that once is enough, twice is too much. You committed that 3 times in your life and I'm sure that you are still insist to do that if there are chance when you'll on that situation. I don't want to try it again when I just feel that I'm lucky to gamble, it's better to bet safely.

Going all in is not a mistake but going all in when you have almost no money left is a serious mistake. I know few guy that bet their monthly allowance all in just so that they could cover some fee to paid but they ended up losing it. When someone needs serious amount of money in real life, he will then probably bet more and make stupid mistake in gambling
1689  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can gambling help you with your life? on: December 28, 2017, 11:06:56 AM
Gambling is not a job
We can't blame those gamblers that are living their everyday lives with gambling and that's how they are earning and sustaining their needs through gambling. And in that case that's how gambling is helping them with their lives and we can't stop them if they are experiencing great real fortune in gambling because they are the ones that are having fun and benefiting on treating it that way.
For a person to make a living in gambling or consider it as a source of income, he needs to be consistent and has the advantage on his opponent, if he can play on skilled based games and he makes money then I guess it's something that he should be proud of. However, only few people were having that kind of gift where they can make money in gambling, most of are are losing money and some are even addicted to it.

If someone can keep winning then that is another story but for someone that claim to be a proffesional gambler and live from gambling, it is impossible to keep winning. You can win and lose but overall he is making profit thats why he could live from gambling, that kind of job is not for everybody and it is definitely not helping me with my life
1690  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: December 28, 2017, 10:51:05 AM
Because it's making profits, fun and joy when you're gambling.

I think it's not the only reason why we become addicted in gambling, money is involve if you win you want to come but for chances to get again of money and if you lose you want to come back again to get back the lose money. In fact we are happy if we win only, trust me you are alone if you are loser because the people is always in the side of winner.

Everything that involved money will make us more greedy. That is why we are not supposed to play for profit, if we do that then we wont feel satisfied unless we win alot of money. To win some small money is already a hard thing to do so to win bigger amount is almost impossible for most people so it makes us addicted and want to play more
1691  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: December 27, 2017, 07:45:04 PM
I don't think gambling is wrong because in my mind , it's simply just a way to earn money or a way to relax . It's only wrong when you're playing too much and let it effect to your real life.
That's what everybody thinks they are doing but they end up addicted and made wrong decisions with their money. I think it's not bad to gamble but if you have an addiction or possible addiction to it, then you should lay low on it and try other habits.  We all have things to change in our lives, gradually it would stop if you are willing.

It is not bad to gamble but when we gamble and lose everything thats very bad. Especially if we try to win and we confidently gamble with a high amount, thats where it is wrong. It is not possible to win alot of money so playing for profit is useless, it is so much better to just play for fun because thats the way someone should see the main point of gamble

Bet at a Bitcoin only sportsbook. LOL! You lose, but BTC moons...
There is no sense, when you lose you won't benefit on the price increase of bitcoin  and that is not smart.
Being smart is to know your limit in gambling because that would help you achieve the entertainment you are looking, even if you lose you can still have fun and you can continue to gamble unlike other people who end their journey in gambling very early because of lack of discipline.

Indeed , when you lose that means you lose bitcoin as well. Even if bitcoin price keep getting higher, you are not getting anything because you lose your coin. Why do you want to lose your coin if you can hold your coin. If you just hold your or even lose small amount then that would be much better than losing alot when you gamble
But if you take the risk and try to make it become more and more , so when the price is raising as you're saying you will have multiples income right ? Hold will just save your coin not gonna make it grow. That's the big different.

You are saying that if you gamble then you will win? If you gamble, you will just lose so why bother losing? you can just keep it save and the moment it reach new ATH then you are going to get more than what you tried to gamble. That is fact that people dont know and they keep to gamble hoping that they will get more and more
1693  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To Gamble or To Invest? on: December 27, 2017, 06:14:10 PM

Gambling to games that are based on pure luck is really not a good idea if you are targetting for profit. However, investing in reputable investment vehicles can be very profitable and less risky than gambling to games that are based on pure luck.

If you want it to be profitable and risky at the same time, invest in a gambling site. It is by far the most profitable investment because it guarantees to get the house edge applied to the game. The risky part is that there are alot gambling that went out of business in the past so it is kinda risky if you ask me especially when you put your money into someone's else hand
1694  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can gambling help you with your life? on: December 27, 2017, 12:29:49 PM

this difference between gamblers,
there are those who play with common sense and some who play with their unbalance and make them fall poor as gambling addicts.
in fact many in the UK who have a fortune thanks to gambling.
and it's very real as a job



Gambling is not a job, it is the same as trading and I know alot of people think that trading is a job but to be honest perhaps only 20 % trader really live from trading alone. There are also probably 5 % or less gambler than could live on gambling alone, that means it is not a job at all. It is definitely not helping anything in our life as well
1695  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Benefits from Gambling on: December 27, 2017, 09:40:56 AM
If you see it by all point of view, then gambling have some benefits. Gambling give us patience to bear the lose and face the risk, and control ourself from greediness. These all things which we learn from gambling, and the gambling have first and least benefit and that is it is a place where we can find fun and entertainment. But in short, we get these all benefits from gambling but it depend on ourself we want these benefits or not.

Only if you can control patience when you are gambling using alot of money but most people will not be able to gamble using alot of money and be patient. The only benefit that someone could get is learning the truth that there are no fast way to be rich from gambling. Sure some people will be able to win but in the end alot more people lose
1696  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Worst mistake in gambling on: December 27, 2017, 08:28:35 AM

There is indeed no rule or principle in gambling that can make you win the game at any cost. This is the reason why people are always in loss because of gambling. This game is totally dependent on luck. Without your good luck, you are unable to score good in this game.

This is why I call it blind game and evil in nature as well. This is the game which has brought so many people on road by making them addict.

Even with some luck, it is almost not possible to win in the long term. When we win one time, we will want to win more thats what make it really addicting. The best possible method not to make mistake is to make sure that we dont really play for profit. We wont be addicted if we actually do this and we could always get out right of it

Once you get addicted to something and that is like gambling, it is really hard to quit this game. Gambling gives you false hopes about making big money and this activates your greed for money. This is the major reason why you become a gambling addict so easily. Indeed, you can change your this habit but it demands real will power just like iron will power, otherwise you would not be able to curb this habit.

Probably every gambler tries to learn how to quit gambling and unfortunately most of them are failing to learn that skill. This must be one the major reason why gambling industry is rapidly growing all the times.

Everyone tried to quit but most people will fail . The problem is with ourselves because if we really want to quit then we need to stick to the plan that we consider will help us to quit. Some people dont stick to this plan and they keep on playing that is why they cant quit, if they stick to it then they will be able to atleast play lesser by now
1699  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to play gambling in a smart way? on: December 26, 2017, 07:41:49 PM
Manage your balance well is the best way to have a smart gambling. People usually lose in the big bet and win in the small bet. That's why most of them are losing.

Winning or losing is about luck and sometimes I see people win a high amount when they use high amount as well. Or even someone that got lucky with high multiplier and win high amount using small amount. In the end it will be luck and smart way to play is not to play for profit but only to play for fun with small amount everytime

you lost millions dollar , but then you just fine and walk away. you lost 10$ dollar but then borrowing another 10$ and so on until you get in huge trouble , then gambling are completely wrong.

It is not fine because losing a million dolar when you are gambling is madness. We can use that money for something else, there is no need to use that amount for pleasure in gambling even if someone is just looking for fun. Besides that I say this before Im fine with people that made their own decision to lose money but a million is too much to swallow
