I've been gambling for almost 10 years now, I used to be an addict to poker and other card games but now I do gamble Occasionally. Normally, If others heard about gambling they'll probably be saying bad things about it *which is a fact*. Though, based from my own experiences. Gambling do benefits me in a way, especially Mentally and Emotionally. Mentally, As a teenager who started to gamble at the age of 15. I don't care about losing, I don't value money. But as I grow, Gambling did really change my perspective towards money and decision making. I became more mature and I must say that I did enhance my strategic awareness. Emotionally, I must say that gambling did really control my temper. I don't why, but whenever I play poker my state of mind became so calm. Even after I lose or win I'm calm and happy. At the age of 19, I learn how to control myself. Mistakes are part of our life which really is good set back for a good comeback!.

How about you guys? What are the benefits you get from Gambling?

But, I highly suggest not to become addict to this industry.

So, i recently went to a local gambling place here in our city and i participated in this game called color game. In this game you will choose from five different colors and if you win, your price will be times four of your bet. The chances is obviously 20% and i myself admitted that i get hooked up to it immediately. Who else dont want an easy money by the way. What i observe is that nobody wins in gambling in any other way except if you are the owner of the said stall. Your chances of winning is just 20% and the initiator has 80%. Imagine that big?. Even though they quadruple your money, their winning steak is also higher than what they give to you. Plus, psychologically, if people experienced winning , they will not stop betting until they do not have enough money to bet. On the other hand, if they win, they will return the other day to gamble again. Lucky to them if they win again but most of the time, they are not.

It's been weeks now since i play gambling games or we may say casino games, sometime i played it just for fun but when i won, my greediness comes and trying to recover my lose bitcoins and want to earn more but ending up losing all my money. For me gambling is good just to have fun and beat boredness but if you want to make money by playing casino i think it's not a good idea because you never know how many luck you have it's either you lose all your money or double it. but most of the time i lose all my money for you guys what do you think of playing casino games is it good or not?

A lot of people wonder what is the criteria of a good gambler, here are some of my thought about good gambler

a good gambler never chase profit
Profit might be the first reason why people gamble, but a good gambler never attached to the profit, the most important thing in gambling is excitement and fun experience, having profit is just the bonus

a good gambler able to control himself / herself
Self controlling is very important in gambling, without a clear mind there will be a lot of mistakes in betting and even causing reckless betting and losing all of the money in split second

a good gambler know when to stop
Setting a limit is very important in gambling, setting a lost limit will prevent you to over spend your money and setting a win limit is  also important because in the long run the house got a bigger chance to win due to the house edge

a good gambler never cause any problem to the surrounding
A good gambler know that the chances of losing money in gambling is huge, so a gambler should never used daily needs money or borrowing money to gamble, and a gambler should never think of robbery or stealing to gamble

a good gambler can accept lost
When losing a good gambler won't blame the surrounding, cursing or accusing the  casino as fraud places, losing is the half part of gambling, if you can't accept lost then dont start to gamble

a good gambler should able to manage the time
A good gambler know how to split the time for family, for friends and for gambling, a good gambler never neglected family or friend just because of gambling

We must encourage people to become a good gambler, so people won't always have a bad judgement about gambler

After recent changes to the merit system, I am trying to do something useful and contribute to the forum. And this is what I collect, hopefully it will change my merit.

This is an article about that, a gambling disorder in most young people
- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5841330/
As stated in the article, experts and analysts know the causes and issues that lead to gambling addiction, they have clearly spoken about the dangers, consequences, and effects of gambling on the nerves and health of a person then there is a series of methods to stop that. But we are still here very clearly, the number is still increasing significantly every year, it has no signs of diminishing, even rising dizziness.

And the problem here is I want to ask why that happens? All the information is complete but people still can not solve the gambling addiction problem, the analysis is useless or our greed still dominates all.

Please let me know your opinion on this issue and if you have enough power, what would you do to solve this

List of the most popular Betting Strategies can be found here: http://sportstatist.com/betting-strategies/

As the title itself, I’m thinking about the valid reason why gamblers continue to gamble even if they are losing a lot of money. Is it hard to understand that gambling will just make your money lose if you still continue?

So many addiction stories, people shares their losing experience and yet you are still gambling. The more you play the bigger the chance to lose the money. What is your reason to continue? Are you willing to chase your loses despite of the risk?

I am very interested to know which gambling sites are offering investments, I research it but it seems like information is not updated.
Please put the terms like the percentage and whatever necessary information that I should know.

There's another thread here asking "Whats best strategy to make easy money?"
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5104674.0

Cool to see that most replies in that thread are honest and helpful - there *is* no easy way of making money.

But I was thinking it could be interesting to ask:
What are the *easiest* or *most popular* ways of making a profit using gambling and betting sites?

I will start with a first answer:

Matched Betting (Bonus Arbitrage)
http://sportsarbitrageguide.com/blog/tag/bonus-arbitrage/

I think quite a lot of people do this - it is a pretty simple algorithm/process to follow. But the margins are small, and the time required to actually do it profitably is off-putting for many. Plus the operators are getting cleverer at stopping this. But still, it doesn't require too much skill (or?) so I would class it as one of the "easiest" ways to make profits through gambling.

Any others that are easier or more popular?

What are your Pros and Cons in live betting and online betting?? which you prefer to bet.
for me live betting is much more excitement because you can see live who you put your bet especially when we're talking about betting in racing but it's more convenient to bet online,
Excitement vs Convenient.
