201  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Walk of Shame on: March 11, 2018, 06:02:21 PM
I haven't experienced it only because I don't go to casinos, if I am to play I play from the comfort of my room and my sofa. I usually like reading about sports betting tips so most of the time I play sport betting which rarely make you go broke unless you are super addicted and even sell your house and wife for placing a bet.

I feel sorry for you and that walk of shame but also feel good that I know you won't do it again.
It is actually a huge shame and I can imagine how he must have pictured himself and his life in general to have made that his last. You know there is this feeling sometimes that you will just look at yourself and just imagine how crazy you must have been to have gotten to that position.

I have never experienced this myself but I tried putting myself in his shoes to imagine how he must have felt this particular day and that must have been terrible.
I can't even imagine this in my dream, seriously i never experienced this in my life and i don't want in future also.

I feel sorry for you, but don't worry whatever happens it happens just forget it and never repeat it again.
202  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever gambled to escape worry, trouble,boredom,loneliness, grief or lose on: March 11, 2018, 05:52:29 PM

I gamble but I never treat gambling as relaxation. For me, watching movies at home, playing video games and eating is more relaxing than gambling.
I also do not consider as playing gambling offline and online a relaxation because I don't like noisy places and I also do not like my time being spent on unimportant things. If I want to relax, I treat myself really good and I spent my day eating foods I like, watching movies and sleeping for straight and long 8 hours. As a student, most of the time I lack of sleep and sometimes I don't really sleep at all due to my busy schedule so when weekends come and if I don't have any projects to do, I go on relaxing. I have never think of gambling as a way of relaxing and escape to negativity because I believe that if I am sad and then I lose money because of playing, I will only be more sad.



It depends on the person, you guys can relax by doing sleeping, watching tv, playing mobile games etc. but some people will get relax by doing gambling. yes whenever they are under stress to get the relief they will play gambling. I also do but not every time. how you guys can play online mobile games like that we will play gambling games that's it.

here are the possible quarter-finals of the Indian Wells tournament (Atp1000):

Federer vs Thiem/Chung
Dimitrov vs Kyrgios/K.Anderson

A.Zverev vs Sock/Pouille
Cilic vs Del Potro/Djokovic/Nishikori

For me there will be a final between Federer and A.Zverev.
Interesting to see the returns of Raonic, Djokovic and Nishikori.

Federer and A.Zverev are a favourite in this tournament i am also expecting these two players can reach finals. the last tournament in finals A.Zverev was not played up to the mark I hope this time suppose he comes to finals he will win this tournament.

5th ODI the deciding match England won by 7 wickets. with this win, England won the series by 3-2. This becomes one side match New Zealand got all out for just 223 runs and England chased this target in just 32 overs with the loss of 3 wickets. a super fast century from Jonny Bairstow he made 104 runs in just 60 balls amazing batting. Congrats England.
206  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: please help me seriously to leave gambling ???? on: March 10, 2018, 06:18:12 AM
Today i realised i am in huge huge trouble due to gambling...i just kept loosing amount in gambling quickly...decided many times to leave gambling but never happened....today i counted that i have lost almost 10 bitcoins in gambling in last 1-2 years and the amount i loose is going to keep on increasing...
  i just tried to do every thing but nothing is quiet working...what ever i earn i dont know what to do with them and in some time i loose them again...
i am realising i am in big trouble,already in huge loss what to do... Embarrassed
I know that you are desperate to quit gambling but the only person who can really help you is yourself. You said you are in trouble and you already lose huge amount of money then make it a big reason that you really need to stop. It won't happen overnight though but one step at a time, do something that will not make you think about gambling. Perhaps go out with your friends or your family or maybe involve yourself in sports.

Well not just yourself, I would say a stronger factor is to seek help from your family and friends and maybe a doctor or medical help. It is empirical that you get support and professional help that would surely be a lot more suited to aid you in your gambling problems. Sometimes it is already hard to turn back from your addiction and you are in too deep in it that it is not enough to just help yourself.

People get help from family and friends but dedication is important. without dedication, no professional will help you out. and according to my experience, you need more time to take some rest. the professional will control your mindset in that if any other work interrupt means it will not work out so you need more time.
207  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting in bitcoin is legal or illegal? on: March 10, 2018, 06:07:50 AM
Of course betting in bitcoin will be illegal if bitcoin is illegal in one country while bitcoil will be legal if it is accepted. However, you could still play gambling in your country even though it is illegal because bitcoin transaction is undetectable. No one can determine if you were a female, male or adult, teen, etc.
If you are not provided with your personal information to gambling site means you can play gambling with bitcoin. Nobody will find you but if you made a big profit and you want to convert it to fiat that time it will become tough for you because you have to sell your coins to exchange site and your money will deposit to your bank account. if you find any local buyer then the problem. winning big amount is not easy so just for fun, you can play with cryptocoins no problem.
208  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: March 09, 2018, 05:35:16 PM

Yes, India was needed this win desperately to stay in the tournament because two continuous losses will put more pressure on players in the next match. It was a good performance from everyone to win the match.

It was not a great performance, India got a strong batting lineup but still they took 18.4 overs to reach this small target against Bangladesh. But the bowlers did a good job. let's see Bangladesh will come back in this series or not.

Today second test match between SA and Australia will start. The first match Australia won with a good margin so now SA is under more pressure to win this match to level the series. But still feel that Australia may win the match.

Excellent bowling from home team they made AUS all out just for 243 runs in 1st innings, Rabada picks 5 wickets now SA started batting scored 8 runs without losing any wickets. Looks like the home team will win this match.

Not expected this from Austrailian batsman it was really surprised me. today all credit goes to Rabada he was bowled well and not let Asuatilian middle order batsman stand a long time in the screes.

Final battle b/w NZ vs ENG. Is the winner going to lift the cup any guess? my prediction is NZ will win.
209  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which coin do you think is best for gambling? on: March 09, 2018, 05:23:18 PM
Bitcoin is always the best option for gambling, the only problem is that the fee is too high now. I think XRP and XLM, it will be good choices.
At this time? No, it's not the best option to gamble while the price of bitcoin is currently falling. The fees of bitcoin now aren't too expensive and you can pay 20 sats per byte so that's affordable and unlike before when bitcoin is on all time high, the fees were crazy.

What is the relation between gambling and bitcoin price falling?

For each session, I fix a certain amount of money to spend on gambling so I spend an equal amount in cryptos. If prices are high then I will spend fewer coins and if prices are low then I will spend slightly more coins. So I don't understand why one shouldn't spend bitcoins for their entertainment purpose if prices are low.

usually, all casinos will fix one minimum amount to place our bets. for example, 0.001 BTC let's think your maximum betting limit is 0.001 BTC. now the price is under $10k so no problem what about if the price cross $20k? you don't have any choice because casinos will not reduce there limit. 

You said it right. But if the gambler is really an intense one and no one can stop him and his on the stage of craving there's no need to ask why he should spend bitcoins whether the price is high or low. He will gamble and he will not care about the prices.

For me, in measuring whether the coin to be used in gambling is good or not, I use the confirmation time benchmark. Delays caused by the relatively long confirmation time will make the gamblers lose their mood and can be bad for their game. So, the faster the confirmation time, the better the coin will be used in gambling.

Yes delays will make our mood off so we have to choose only fast confirmation coins. usually all fast confirmations coins fee is also less.
210  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ever stopped or removed from casino on: March 09, 2018, 04:45:02 PM
I'd say that I was removed once, when at the time I registered twice because I forgot my password on my first account. I think this was on crypto-games. Though I sent them an email and they got my first account back and got it sorted out pretty quick. I guess they were banning multiple accounts due to people farming the faucet claims.
You registered twice ok but how can they find you have 2 accounts?

Because you can't register with the same name twice. you only informed them?

Every casino has option to recover forgotten password why can't you try this?

I sent them an email and they got my first account back and got it sorted out pretty quick.

You can do this before creating new account am I right?
211  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Martingale for win, my own experience on: March 09, 2018, 04:03:55 PM
If you have 0.05BTC and you go broke in 3 straight losses you are doing the martingale wrong Cheesy.. You need to at least have a bankroll that covers 10-15 losses in a row to even consider trying it out. It works, but most casinos have limits in place which means you can't continue forever if there's a streak of 30-40 losses.

10-15 losses or 30-40 losses is impossible because winning chance 50% (1/2) like head/tail.

It is possible and 10-15 loses are common in gambling. we think the Martingale is an advantage for us and we can make a profit but actually, this is an advantage for casinos. did you ever heard after 20+ loses any gambler beat casino while using this method I think no one. Because 99% casino only wins this long run.
212  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buying BTC below 10,000 USD? on: March 07, 2018, 01:45:14 PM
Im starting to trade and i want your opinion:

Do you think that if i buy "x" amount of BTC for any price below $10,000 USD will get me a profit on a long term (>1 year)?

I know is unpredictable but i want to know what you guys think.

Thanks in advance.
I hope you did it op you could have double your money in less than a month and if you timed everything perfectly you could have bought again at less than 6k so if everything went perfectly you could have multiplied your money at something close to 4x which is impressive since we are only talking about 3 months and that includes only buying and selling bitcoin.
 I think we can really gain on buying and selling . If we did everything in the right time, so then if we buy bitcoin bellow 10,000 USD then we must hold and sell if the price reach more than 10,000 USD, that was really a simple kind of strategy yet profitable enough to sustained or gain a huge profit.

"X" amount means how much? because investing a small amount in bitcoins is no use. it should be one decent capital then only it is profitable. But longterm bitcoin will give you good profit min 100% profit you will get in 1 year.
213  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: In this down market how your doing? on: March 07, 2018, 01:37:03 PM
I think in this kind of market is good for investors. You have to buy and invest more and more in it. This situation is part of real market and we see it as risk, face it and learn it. My portfolio value is also go down and I decides to hold because if I do sell, lost will be mine. Need patience but worth for me and I think you should do the same. Keep going and good luck with you.

Normally the best thing that we can do is to hold and wait for the another update of the market. Because I believe that after dump the next is the huge pump. So then I can see that holding is the best strategy for this unstable market price, for us to become more secure maybe we should extend our patience on the feild.

The unstable market is good for traders to make money but this is too risky and don't think after a dump next is the big pump. we already experiencing big dump from last 2 months still it is not recovered don't have any idea when it is going to recover. you like to take a challenge then this is the good time to make a profit in short time.
214  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Are you a full time trader or just part timer? on: March 07, 2018, 01:24:42 PM
I do trade in full time, I lost a lot of money. But I didn't leave the trade. Am still trading now because I know trading is the best way for handsome income. Keep patience, watch market, make a strategy and make money.

You make me a little bit confuse here, how is it possible for you to say trading is the best way for income while in fact you have lost a lot of money? So how is your trading stats so far? You say lost lot of money but you did not say something about your profit, which means you are in negative.
Any other reasons why you do trade full time? Dont you have real job IRL?

I think he lost money but not hopes. but without making a profit how can he believe trading I don't know. yes we can make a profit in trading but becoming a full time trader is not easy. I don't have the courage to quit my job and become full time trader.
215  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Gambling addiction a disease? on: March 07, 2018, 01:06:41 PM
Yes addiction is diseases, whatever it is, alcoholism, addiction drugs, gambling addiction, all are diseases. More precisely, addiction is a mental illness, you are not physically sick, but something is wrong in your mental. When addicted, you will have trouble controlling yourself.

That is right, gambling addiction is a disease that is hard to get off in our body, and if you are not going to make a solution of action about it, then you are going to suffer in the near future. Gambling addiction is no joke, if you are not going to quit it, then prepare for the worst that could happen to your life such getting broke and so on.


you are right any addiction will spoil our life like that gambling addiction also kill our personal life. for other addiction we have medicine but gambling addiction I think we don't have any medicine. the only solution is self control and spending time with family members. kill your free time with any other activity then only it is possible.
216  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why kyc is even required? on: March 07, 2018, 01:02:42 PM
From what I know KYC are only strongly implemented on exchanges and newly launch ICOs but I never heard of verification processes being asked in gambling sites. I have been a long time player in many sites especially FortuneJack and they never asked or required me to send valid ids to verify or access my account. But to answer your question KYCs are being asked by exchanges and security tokens because it is one of their requirements given by the government.
Sooner every platform will require KYC because the government will be strictly looking at compliance to whatever business who use bitcoin.
However, there are some casinos who suddenly implent KYC especially if you are winning a big amount of money which will just
make winners getting frustrated.
If casinos ask KYC then I think people will stop playing gambling with cryptocurrencies. i don't think why casino's need KYC, ok i agree if you win big amount then for verification purpose they can ask KYC but making this mandatory is no use and nobody will give their personal information to the unknown person.
217  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: March 06, 2018, 01:54:13 PM
India take on Sri Lanka in the first match of the Nidahas T20I tri-series today. Usually, India would be easy favourites to win this match, but they have rested several key players including Dhoni, Kohli , Bumrah and Bhubaneshwar Kumar. I would still bet on India winning this match because their bench strength is so strong. Sri Lanka would have improved their confidence after winning the tri-series in Bangladesh.

India is still strong team as they have quite good T20 players if we compare with the Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. Rohit Sharma and Suresh Raina are very good batsman in this shorter format; plus Indian bowling line up is also comparatively strong if we look at their recent performance. There has been some issues in the Sri Lanka and government has called for 10 days state emergency so today's match is in doubt. Lets wait for the official announcement.

Edit: Match started as per schedule.
Surprise Sri Lanka opt to bowl first and took 1st 2 wickets in just 10 runs. this is really great start from SL and in this series, Sharma is leading Indian team and Dhoni is also at rest let's see how Indian team will perform without these 2 top class players.

Now also you people think India will win this match? even I also underestimated SL team.
218  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Will crypto exchanges be banned/taxed ? on: March 06, 2018, 01:39:20 PM
The govs don't want common people to make money or escape from their poverty, so they are trying to hinder the crypto ecosystem in general.
Not like that, the governments are not getting any income from this bitcoin transaction that is why they are putting lot many restrictions on btc users.


But what about FIAT deposits?
How do "decentralized FIAT deposits" work , if they exist?

i can think of 2 solutions to this problem:

- Use FIAT to buy GPUs, mine coins with them, then use the mined coins to trade on DEX (decentralized exchange) platforms

- Buy crypto with FIAT directly from other people, that you can meet in forums or online announcements, Localbitcoins.com and similar sites

Well i know it's more "comfortable" to just do a bank transfer to an exchange's account , but this will have a cost for you: the gov will know what you are doing with that money, how many coins you bought , etc., so they may tax you because they think you are making profit.

While if you buy GPUs they cannot assume you are mining. You say you are just playing video games.
So your earnings are anonymous.
They don't even know you bought GPUs if you buy them at local shops with cash.

Being anonymous is worth the struggle even if it takes a bit of "discomfort" , as you are going to avoid a lot of nuasances.

nobody will ask you why you bought a number of GPU's. the only thing they will track how much money you deposited to exchange site and how much money you withdraw. so based on your profit they will collect tax from you that's it.
219  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading don't work for me too well on: March 06, 2018, 01:30:59 PM
It is not only you, a lot of other investors who have been trading is having the same problem. I think that a different approach is required. Just buy bitcoin and Ethereum and hold for long-term. Forget about short-term trading.
That’s a good advice. If you are bad at day trading and short term trading, its better than you buy some good and reliable coins and hold them for long term to get good returns. I would recommend coins such as NEO, XMR, BTC, ETH, XRP and IOTA for long term holding. Distribute your investment in these 6 coins and mark my word you will be in good profit at the end of 2018.
Yes if you not handle day trading and getting lost in day trading better shift to long term trading this is good advice in this method you will not get the loss but you have to invest in good coins. if you invest in any shitcoins then here also you will get the loss. i will also prefer you to invest in NEO, IOTA, ETH and BTC.

YEAR OF THE DOG ... and DOGE died !

 Smiley

doge died? when? doge price is very stable now. year of the dog just started and many events and holidays has been passed. all coins going down because of it. you should wait for a few months and market will be stabled again.

This is a very old coin and many people are using this coin to do some fast transactions with less fee and this coin most used on online gambling. how come these people will let this coin die. at present the price is low because of market correction but when the market takes off then definitely Doge will take grow.
