Poland Televoting points 222Jury points 7Are you kidding?  Exactly! WTF is this disproportion? Is was probably the biggest difference in voting in whole Eurovision history. And it leads to believe that jury was somewhat biased, and they were instructed how they need to vote behind the curtains. |

Unless you have some sort of skill to offer, signature campaign is the best way to go. Faucets in my opinion is a waste of time, unless you own one.
It used to be like that. Faucets are now less and less profitable. I read that many new faucet are actually not profiting for their creators at all. After all faucet income is linked to view of the ads and traffic. New faucet won't generate much traffic - unless payment is really good, which is counterproductive for owner. |

I noticed that threads about gambling addiction, moral repercussion of excessive gambling and psychology of addiction are quite popular on bitcointalk.
I would like to present some more insight on this problem.
What is gambling addiction?
In short: Gambling addiction, also known as compulsive gambling or gambling disorder, is an impulse-control disorder.
Addicted gamblers can't control the impulse to gamble, even when it is hurting themselves or their loved ones in the process.
I would like to debunk some myths about gambling addiction:
Myth: It is OK if I am rich and can afford to gamble, so I can do it anytime as long as I have the money.
Reality: It is not entirely about money. Excessive gambling is bad as any other addiction because it cause problems of not just financial nature.
Too much time spent on gambling can lead to relationship and life problems, job loss, psychological problems including depression and anxiety, and, in the worst case - suicide.
Myth: It is OK. I don't gamble everyday, so I am not addicted gambler.
Reality: It doesn't matter how frequently you gamble. You can gamble once per month but always lose all your money in one session. Gambling is a problem if it causes more problems.
Myth: If someone has a gambling problem and he builds up a debt - you should help him. But he must promise that he would stop.
Reality: No. Never lend money to a gambler. It is the worse thing you can actually do. He will just continue to gamble and it only make him believe that even if he lose someone will fix his debt.
Myth: It is not possible to be truly addicted to gambling. It is not physical addiction like drugs or alcohol!
Reality: Gambling will cause your brain to produce 'euphoria' hormones similar to these that are created after drugs usage. It may encourages the gambler to keep repeating the behavior to feel the pleasure again.
Myth: Gambling addiction is purely financial problem.
Reality: No. Excessive gambling is psychological problem which happen to has financial consequences. It is problem of urges, impulses of person that has an uncontrollable obsession with gambling.
Myth: I am responsible, strong willed individual. I never will get addicted! Only weak people are addicts.
Reality: Common misconception. Anyone can be an addict. No matter how strong their will is. Once they obsessed with gambling, gamblers may engage in irresponsible behaviors to maintain their addiction.
Myth: It is easy to tell if someone is addicted gambler.
Reality: Actually no. Gambling addiction is one of the hardest obsessions to notice with lack of physical symptoms. The behavior is easy for people to hide. Especially now - with the era of online gambling.

I had never gamble with real money. I always opt for bitcoin gambling. I actually had experience losing all my bitcoins. It was awful for me. But since I was a beginner back then so the amount was not huge and I started earning bitcoins through signature campaigns again.
gambling without money for me might be good for those who want to stop gambling but i personally will never do it and if i'm do gambling without money and won it and i would be regret my victory because i don't get nothing Bitcoin is as much are real money as FIAT at this point. BTC can be exchanged to FIAT or used directly to buy almost anything you would like at this point. Saying that BTC gambling is not gambling with money is rather peculiar thing to say, and IMO totally incorrect. |

Wrongness of your actions, motives and behavior is purely subjective. But there are couple pivot points you don't want to cross as gambler:
1. If you keep gambling no matter the consequences
2. When you experience sudden mood shifts other behavior disorders.
3. When you keep your casino open at all time in your browser even if you don't want to play.
4. You are losing more money than you can afford to lose.

I think it is easy to predict the winner of each Group, in my opinion it will be like this:
Group A - France
Group B - England
Group C - Germany
Group D - Spain
Group E - Italy
Group F - Portugal
I will probably bet on these teams in every match of group stage.
History have shown us that this is not a good practice to follow, remember when Italy was out since group stage a few years ago, don't remember know, but they couldn't even beat Slovakia back then. What make you think that the favorite of each group will win every game, that is quite impossible or the bookies will go broke very badly this European championship. some of them is not really that strong to insta bet on like england or france lately That is why I say I will bet on these teams in group phase. It is my comparison based on others team from the same group and I believe these teams are looking the strongest against other.. It might change, however, based on the first performances as upsets are meant to be happening. |

I dont know how much I get earn from gambling, but I'm sure I get some profit by gambling. I play in poker, sport betting and dice games.
we can't earn big money with gambling. because this is the truth of the gambling. gambling it self don't let you to become rich. it'll win you some money and make you more and more greedy. and then we get addicted to gambling.. coming to the topic. I didn't earned so much money from gambling. I always play dice and start with a short amount and I make a mind to loose not to win. but some time I win also. I earned 0.02btc so far. I think its depends of the game if you play in dice or black jack you can win but you can only earn few profit.. mostly lose. but you are play lottery which is the jackpot price is millions you can be rich.. Lottery is non sense, those who play with it are just like donating their money or just flushing it in the toilet. Imagine that we cannot even win in gambling with 50/50 chances, how much more in lottery. From the statistic point of view you are right. Lottery is like tax for people who can't count. But again you are wasting very little of your money by purchasing a ticket and potentially you can win huge money. While I certainly wouldn't call it a good way to gamble or a even method to earn money it is good entertainment for many people. |

Guys before commenting please take a note that this thread is from November 2015. It is like prehistoric old by now.
We seriously don't have to worry about bitcoin price hitting less than $300 ever again!

It should be around $481 because it has very stable floor above $450 than we can expect for some rise into price, my prediction will be $481 anyway this is interesting contest.
I already posted that prediction.  June 1 is 2 weeks away from now. Glad that I found this thread so that I will be the first to predict this number. My prediction is 481 USD. It's a little close to most predictions here but I don't really mind.
Kindly change it a little, maybe you get lucky and you win.  If that is his prediction too then why he should change it? If price will be exactly $481 and you both will guess correctly then I guess the only fair way will be splitting prize money. Anyway my prediction is $495 |

No their are no safe methods like many others already said, safe gambling is just not possible because its called gambling and its based on luck.
Not necessarily. Standard casino games are of course not safe and risky. But there are many theories about gambling out there and one caught my attention. This theory is not that popular because it is not 'pure' traditional fast gambling when you bet right away and expect instant results. It is called matched betting and it requires preparations, thinking and a lot o free time, but you could call it rather safe. Info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matched_betting |

In the past I really liked Black Jack but many casinos have quietly gone about lowering the payout on hitting Black Jack from 3:2 to 6:5.
So I think the best possible way to win money by gambling is to bet good at sports betting or poker.

I have a idea deposit 0.5btc for one time gambling once its double withdraw the profit and never turn back  That's a great trick to not force yourself to be greedy. I am also doing the same thing but in my case I only start with a 0.005 BTC bankroll and every time I doubled it, say I get 0.01 btc already I'll withdraw half of it and play again with the othe half and then try to double it up again. So far it works with just minimal bets. I don't wan to bet high.  It is not trick at all. It is being conscious and smart about the way you play. Don't gamble your money away without plan and throw blind bet while expecting to win it all. Always check the history first so you could expect whats coming in the next round if the graph hits a high multiplier expect crashing at 1.xx or 0 on the future rounds. This is only my observation when i play here.
Do you really believe that rounds have something to common are linked somehow abd you can predict next one by seeing how the last one went? |

This is all about quantity and in the future there will be a massive adoption of the future and that makes it even more awesome for the bitcoins and gambling sites.
You are only partially right about quantity. Because from what I know it is extremaly easy to create and operate bitcoin gambling site (at least compared to standard FIAT based gambling services) That is the reason we have so many cryptocurrency casinos around. But in the end people will pick their top services and there will be only few really good casinos left. It seems easy but there is also a lot of cases whereby even bitcoin top platform exchange also got hacked and are in serious trouble. In most cases hackers just capitalize on lack of imagination and human error of operators. Most of these attacks could have been reverted if owners weren't so stingy about providing additional money for security, backup, cold wallets. And some of these 'attacks' were even fake - and covered exit scams of untrustworthy businesses. |

I would say if you want to buy bitcoin before halving hits us this the last days to do it. Halving is only like 9 weeks away from now.
And after that I doubt bitcoin price will ever back to $400-$450 range again.

My last minute bet on Ukraine for the Eurovision was spot on. Anyone else had luck with Eurovision bets? Not me. I definitely didn't think that Ukrainian song could win. The song was lacking in my eyes, and it probably got picked because it was more like political statement and not amazing song. I loved Dami In with her Sound of Silence and Russian song was pretty powerful too. |

Well I don't like to go all in while playing in casino, because you can never be sure if you could win. But in real life situations I went all in while betting against my friends.
And I am pretty sure I won most of these bets, so yeah - All In betting could be fun and profitable in the same time.
