1681  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: In Gambling, Money is not everything on: August 02, 2017, 12:53:51 AM
For me money in gambling is definitely not everything. I can play on a dice site 2 hours in a row and if I was lucky I can win from 5k to 10k satoshis which is of course not a big gain for two hours work. But the thing is, I'm not working when I gamble. I gamble for relaxation.

It is good to hear that, but the gambling temption is not only until that point, after you win several times there will be a thought on how much you will win if you bet higher and that is the point where you need to control yourself if you dont want to be addicted, for myself I also only play for fun, play to get rid of boredom, sometimes I only used faucet to play, I dont want want to look for profit in gambling, it can lead me to addiction
playing gambling just for fun can lead to addiction despite not losing money because it only plays with the faucet. there may be a thought where you want to deposit for longer fun. as most people say if you gamble for fun it would be better not to gamble because there are many other things that are better to have fun and to spend time.

Go guys!
In many cultures and countries is gambling consider as a bad thing which only the poorest and silliest ones do. Many gamblers try to hide that they gamble from their friends and families and feel really shameful for that. Do you consider gambling as a bad thing? Do you feel shameful or proud for being a gambler? If it is shame what you feel what do you about it? How do you hide you're a gambler and who do you hide it from?
Let others know!
Absolutely not, because generally I do gambling with my own money as a result i will not harm anyone !
no i also do not feel sham when playing gambling.
Im not ashame that I gamble before as long I didnt disturb anyone. Because I gamble with my own money and I dont hide it from anyone. Playing gambling should be in control and you should know when to stop the game to avoid much lose of money.
gambling with own money and not causing trouble to others it's certainly not shameful. unless the gambling has a bad effect like doing crime act it should be ashamed.
1683  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your reason to gamble? Fun or profit? on: August 01, 2017, 02:51:31 AM
Do you gamble for fun or for profit?
Both of them. In my opinion, the reason "fun" mostly comes from "profits". I feel funny when I win a big profit, it makes me want to play more, I can't help gambling when I keep winning. Even when I lose, I still want to gamle just to win again. That really keeps turning around.
I know people will be happy if they get big profits but why at the time of losing them continue to play despite not getting a profit. in your case it may not be just to win but for the money because if you got the money you will be happy Cheesy.
1684  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to play gambling in a smart way? on: August 01, 2017, 02:44:19 AM
I have noticed so many players are just gambling for the sake of profits only. But majority of them loses most of the games eventually as they are not smart players.

So how should we gamble in a smart way so that we do not get more frustrations due to continuous losses?
I think we should invest all money in gambling, when you win too much, u should think about the stop and most important is controlling your greedy. Sometime, check you bet history might give you a good decison  Cheesy
Don't invest all your money in gambling, it is not good risking all our earnings in gambling. We should also think what will happen tomorrow if we don't have money if we lose all money in gambling. It is a smart way if we just bet with small amount or we just bet what we can afford to lose.
maybe it means better to invest your money in gambling than play gambling and indeed it's not recommended to invest all our money without strategy and some tests.
1685  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling with altcoins on: August 01, 2017, 02:29:02 AM
although bitcoin transactions are expensive but I see many are still using bitcoin to gamble maybe because they also get benefit from expensive bitcoin prices. I prefer to use dogecoin because the low price is quite stable and transaction fees are also small.
1686  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you feel when win in gambling? on: July 31, 2017, 06:01:43 AM
I feel excited and feeling to gamble more to win more. in the end I will end up with negative balance..

It's not rare to see many people end up just like you due their lack of self control, at first they will happy/ feel more excited it cause make them feel so confidence to gamble more and thought everything will be okay with intention will stop after few bets or wins but the result say different to what you hope about that's how gamble washed your brain.

I will say it's stupidity and not lack of self control. How can you win and be happy without realizing you have to stop but will rather gamble all the way until you drain your pockets again if all that you've won and end up with a negative balance? It's just madness and not addiction.

No, it really can't self control, because he felt like to keep getting big wins. but in the end, the victory is taken back so that it becomes a negative balance. I myself have experienced it, and I feel sad when all have lost. All the gamblers I think ever feel the same situation when they win and can't control themselves will continue to play. usually, at the casino game, it is very easy to lose everything in a short time.
most beginners will be like that when win the desire to play so higher because of lack of self-control that resulted negative balance. I've done something like that too at least that's a lesson for me.
1687  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Has gambling affected your life in a good way? on: July 31, 2017, 05:51:45 AM
for a gambling site owner or a casino can change his life into a rich one and for gamblers themselves more negative effects than positive effects. the effect of the gambling that made my life in a good way is probably from gambling I started to understand about how to accept the loss.
1688  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is betting a good choice for a newbie? on: July 30, 2017, 11:52:42 AM
If you would like to test bitcoins, and to see how to send and receive transactions it could be a good choice, but if you trust on gambling to earn some bitcoins as a newbie , I don't think it is a good idea, as You could find yourself losing your hard earn money.

Also we don;'t want new people to put a direct connect between bitcoin and gambling, we want newbies to consider it as a currency not as a gambling token

to test there is still a way besides betting maybe buy something with bitcoin. indeed it's not good for beginners to directly connect the bitcoin or cryptocurrency as a coin for gambling though he's not a newbie of gambling.
1689  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Giving up gambling is not easy on: July 30, 2017, 11:34:10 AM
For a gambler that have got himself seriously addicted to gambling, asking him to give up gambling is not an easy task, no one can really help him except himself, maybe he needs to find another hobby to keep himself busy so he won't kept thinking about gambling in his mind all the time.
This isn't only true for gambling. Anybody who has done one thing extensively for a long time will have trouble getting out of that habit, no matter what habit it is.

Habits are leading into addictions, that is right. Part of gambling addiction is cause gamblers are not admitting their mistakes, they don`t accept loss, they want to redeem and win it all back. Gambling addictions are one of the strongest addictions, worst then drugs, cause you can clean your body from drugs but how to clean a mind and force him to not think about gambling? I saw pills for gambling addiction, but I wouldn`t recommend that to anyone, that is just replacing one addiction with another one, where can lead that?
Fight against gambling addiction is hard, there is no other cure that courage not to gamble, day by day until you make it to the week, month..and like that until the end of the life, cause gambling addiction can never be cured, but it can be restraint.
Pills for gambling addiction? That's the first time I've heard of that.... what do they contain and how are they supposed to work? Kind of sounds like a scam to me if they are real.
I'm also the first time to hear pills for gambling addicts I think the gambling addiction does not damage the body but the mind / brain. if the pill offers an addiction that is no worse than gambling why not. one of the ways is to change our minds to something else.
1690  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: July 29, 2017, 01:43:44 AM
Gambling is addicting beacause everyone think that they will do the shot and win some extra and easy cash.
And when they lose they try gamble until they will get profit and lose more...

Yes this is main reason why people get addicted to gamble, because they think about gambling as of a easy way to earn money, they think that it's risk free way and when they lose they think that they simple got unlucky, so they bet again and again to win back what they just lost, after few days like this they become addicted

Thinking gambling as a easy money is bad because the truth is it will drain your balance if you don't know what you are doing. Some people do it as their job maybe because they are always winning and become addicted to it. If some people is always winning they will play everyday because they think that they will win again next time. Others become addicted when they always lose, they are always playing  and want to recover their losses.
gambling again in hopes of recovering losses or earning money in a quick way is an unreasonable act. become an addict because he always wins and gets money even though sometimes lost it's still reasonable. but according to the book and some articles say it's because of the thrill when play gambling like nicotine that makes the user an addict.
1691  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: It is not worth it, right? on: July 29, 2017, 01:33:58 AM
Many people here are asking "How gambling can benefits us by winning" on it using strategy like Martingale, or pure luck when we are playing DICE?
But I'm just wondering when do people will realize that gambling can never be the one that could benefits us, because the truth is, we could lose the thing that we can't lose to afford before we could be benefited by gambling.
The truth is nothing get a good benefits on gambling instead of regretting because they are losing there money. Gambling is a form of wasting money gamblers are saying that they are get a good profit on gambling but they didn't think that they are losing big amount than the winning they get.

You can't win with gambling regardless of the betting strategy unless you are playing a game that requires skill (like poker) and you are more skilled than the other players. The odds are always against you in games of chance since the house takes a profit.

The best way to approach gambling is doing it just for fun and not expecting to win. Either that or just don't gamble at all.
if you gamble for fun it includes wasting money and better not gamble at all like your say. most people lose money in gambling but there are few people who succeed in gambling and get more money. the point is how do you keep your win to be one of the few people who earn money instead of part of the many people who lose money.
1692  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: From faucet to thousands on: July 29, 2017, 01:17:17 AM
Let's face the fact faucets naturally are sites paying bits of Bitcoin per hour or so. Normally for someone to earn such amount of money you need to either work hard by your self or work with bot.
gambling should remove the free faucet where they can get free bits to gamble again some of people nowadays are using lots of account and then set up the auto bet till their coins will become higher but this took hours before you see the result  don't use bot sometimes i do work on my own guts.
What exactly is wrong with that? Casinos are actually gaining more patronage as a result of faucet people can use to test their game before deciding to deposit or not.

I think his concern is the abused in the system but I think its only a small amount. Faucets does not gives too much and is time consuming.Aside from that the coins he gets from faucets can be played again and sometimes it return back to owner if the player losses.
That is right the amount faucet dice sites give are purposely made small and well below the minimum payout to make it near impossible for people to collect faucet and cash it out the next minute and in the process of wanting to multiply it, they calculate they would likely run into some hitch sooner than it is possible to reach minimum payout. However people are often able to beat all that.
although getting a faucet with a small amount and intend to use the gamble I think it's a waste of time in addition to need a lot of time the gamble from the results of the faucet will not show the profit because the value is small if you lose you will return to the beginning.
1693  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbook and bonus : i have question on: July 29, 2017, 01:07:21 AM
Hello sorry for my english ( im french ) i have a lot of question about  the bonus sportsbook,  when we unlock the bonus,  can it be withdraw   instantly ?  , does it easy to get the bonus ?


usually to open bonus is not easy must with a fairly high fund and there are many types of bonuses. I have ever get a bonus on directbet with high bet (btc at $250 that time) and it instantl in my wallet. I've never gotten bonuses on other sites because of the very high bitcoin prices right now and very difficult requirements.
1694  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can gambling be profitable in long term ? on: July 29, 2017, 12:48:15 AM
I do not think we can rely on bitcoin for the long term. Because of the nature of human passions that will eventually make a defeat when gambling I've proven that gambling is just making up
but i think now bitcoin traders and investors have become so much mature and  they are mostly holding their bitcoin in panic situation. and the current situation is the best example of that.
I really think we can still rely on bitcoin in a long time and the increasing demand for bitcoin to date that makes the price go up proves that bitcoin is still reliable. desire of greed and unable to control themselves from lost or win makes the gambler lose if that person can control himself gambling long-term profits is possible.
1695  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your reason to gamble? Fun or profit? on: July 28, 2017, 06:56:58 AM
personaly i gamble for fun by making big parlays with odds ×1000 or more with just little bit of my bitcoin, but if i win i will be happy  Grin
only gamble with what you can afford to lose Wink
I think most of you want a profit even though it can also be categorized for fun because 1000 odds is almost impossible to win. if you gamble like that it's better not to expect for profits right Cheesy.
1696  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What keeps you coming back??? on: July 28, 2017, 06:50:56 AM
I think people keep coming back to gamble is the money. If someone wins a huge amount of money I don't think he will keep gambling at least that what I think so. People who can't control themselves keep getting back trying to regain their money losses which leads the to even bigger losses and that's the danger of gambling.

average the gamblers especially addicts also gamble back if they have the money and hope to get big profits. money is the main thing if you want to gamble so without money you will not be able to gamble.
1697  Other / Archival / Re: Do you think that you're addicted to gambling? on: July 28, 2017, 06:46:20 AM
To me the gambling is just a fad and I do not get addicted to gambling, yes as usual just a left side from all the activities i do with bitcoin. And i think it seems that if i'm too addicted to gambling it will even harm to me, but the opinions of peoples's vary. Do the comfortably but do not be too risky.
you have not become an addict because many are starting from fad to being addicted so be careful. gambling addicts will mostly lose self-control and lose all their money and gambling itself is very risky.
1698  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How greedy you are? When will you stop and withdrawn? on: July 28, 2017, 06:36:29 AM
I only target profit not more than 20% in every gambling and maximum lose 40%. When target has been achieved, i will leave game for the day. And continued for tomorrow.
you sounds like have a good plan there , the question are do you really can make it happen? i mean to keep following what you have planned without breaking or ignoring your rules? as i'm sure mostly when people have got faced with the game and needed to take a quick decision people would just simply ignore everything that you have set up on winning/losing limit , that's the biggest problem in gambling i guess.
making a decision by not ignoring the original planned is very difficult. I often ignore my calculations if lost or profits when gambling especially if you can't control yourself the early plans are very difficult.
1699  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is it a sin to gamble? on: July 27, 2017, 12:43:57 PM
Whether it remains a sin, if we do gambling with money that can be from gambling? And it goes on for long!And we never spend money from anywhere other than gambling? Is it still considered sinful? Because it can be called as income to support the family?

It's not a sin as long as you are not stealing others money. It only causes us to do sin when we are already addicted in gambling and we can't support our addiction in a way that even we want to gamble but we can't do it because we don't have money anymore. And what's coming to our mind? We want to commit such sin just to sustain our addiction.
yes as long as you don't commit a criminal act like stealing money to gamble. not many people can earn income from gambling because most of them will lose and end up with a gambling addiction that has a bad impact on him. this is the fact that many say gambling is a sin because most will end badly.
1700  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gift For Kid on: July 27, 2017, 12:35:26 PM
I really don't see a problem here. Kids gamble all the time with their games, and even make bets with each other all the time, so it's exactly the same. Also, kids can play monopoly and strip other users from all their houses and money and the goal is to put others to bankruptcy, so how can that be better than that game?
it's true almost all games can be made a bet and that can be interpreted as gambling it's just that kids don't quite understand that. I can't say better than that game but at least the game was not aimed at little kids.
