 If will still be count since many have redundant entry

Who says that? A lot of you guys are not even reading OPs post about the rules of this raffle, one slot per person only, read that again, and please have some effort to look if the slot in your mind is still available or taken already, not just randomly posting it without looking the thread at all.

because usually if people want to starting gambling for fun then they will used low money or free money because if they lost it then they can ignore their losses

No, I have to disagree, it is not about the amount to determine if a certain individual is playing gambling for fun or not, a normal person who's earning money about an average salary could gamble $100-$1000 for fun, and the other way around, and no matter how small it is, a loss is still a loss for everyone, unless of course you are playing just for fun, or if you are freaking rich that losing money for you in not a problem at all.
204  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Much Money You Need To Win To Stop gambling, Is This Possible. on: December 11, 2019, 05:06:15 AM
It's possible to stop after a big win but most people won't be able to. That's how our minds work and that's how sites are hooking up gamblers. Trading sites are also using the same strategy and it goes like this: Ofer people free money to use on your site but don't allow them to withdraw, they have to play x number of games to be able to withdraw. Those who lose will give all the money back to you and those who win will deposit their own money and keep playing because they'll think they are good or lucky.

If someone win in the first few bets then mind will work in the way that how much we can able to earn if we do that for more time.If they lost early they will chase back lost amount and both kind of people will stay betting for longer then the probability of win works and house will be able to make more profits.
Reality in  life that most of the gamblers are not contented with what they've already have, even they win  a huge amount of money they will comeback
and play another game. It's the greedy nature inside human being, if it's not being controlled well instead of having a good amount of profits it will turned
to the other side and leave you with a huge amount of loses.

It is because all of us humans do have an infinite needs and wants in life, mostly, it is for the things we wanted in life, not the ones we need. We do need money, but we ruined everything when we turned it into addiction in gambling by setting up in our minds that we need plenty of it every time we gamble, even if we don't, we just need enough, not plenty. We can't force ourselves to make money in gambling while we are losing, how stupid is that, right?

-Fair

Is this a joke? even online casinos are not fair, if they are, we should have been always winning and not losing.

-No KYC

There are some gambling sites who'll surprise you about this KYC when you're withdrawing your funds on them.

Let me add also,
- Anonymity

This is also one of the reasons why other gamblers like to play online than going to an actual casino.

There are two types of people in online casinos, even in offline, the rich one and the regular guy. The rich one is the one who enjoys playing gambling to the fullest while the regular one sometimes enjoy it, but most of the time he doesn't, to make the story short, you can't have fun playing gambling if you're after the profits, you could only enjoy it if you will gamble with free satoshis or if you'll gamble only the amount you can afford to lose.

That cannot be worthy for making money for the people who didn't have the passion for gambling, but for a professional one, every betting step is their potential ways to success. Sometimes they've encountered more failures, but it made them more determined and courageous to face the daily challenge in striving harder just to win for lucky profit from betting games, regarless of any circumstances.
but for a normal gambler?this is just an entertainment and will never be a source of income,

It could be both sometimes, when odds are in your favor, like if you are not expecting to win, then you are going to win, and if you are expecting yourself to have big profits by winning, then you are going to lose, how ironic is that, isn't it?

To sum that up, gambling is all about randomness of results, you can't predict it if it is a game that is pure based luck, unless it is poker or sports betting, you could increase your chances of winning by getting more knowledge by studying how it works.
210  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling for increasing and decreasing money on: December 09, 2019, 11:45:18 AM
Your post is so confusing.

Nope, OP's post is not confusing at all.

You are encouraging gamblers to gamble but then again you said that it is not something that will increase their profit? Then why said it in the first place?

A lot of money or not that a lot of money, people should not even gamble. Yes, you have a lot of money but that does not ensure you that you will be getting a lot of profit out of gambling. This is gambling and it ruined a lot of lives in the past, and even if you have less or more money to start, that would not be an exception for gambling not to destroy your life. Not really gambling is to blame here but yourself to even gamble. Anything can really happen in gambling and most of them is you losing not winning.

OP's just trying to say that gambling could put your life upside down, and it will never failed to disappoint you by opposing what you wanted, like what he mentioned. It is better to raise some awareness in gambling rather than self coating it with white lies, pretending that we could make money on it if we try but it is not that easy to begin with.
211  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever done to experiment to determine percentage of winning? on: December 09, 2019, 12:57:19 AM
LOL. I remember when I was still new. I thought there will be pattern in dice about the next result. So i'm listing down the numbers/results every roll and doing some mathematics thing. After some try I gave up on that kind of shit. Ended up thinking i'm a fool for doing this kind thing because the result is completely random. How come there will be pattern. LOL. Well, of course I've done this out of curiosity since I was just new.

I've also done that too and it was funny, for being so desperate in winning in gambling. I've also tried to analyze how random it is, like if I win the first roll and lose in the next one, the next roll will probably a mess also, and sometimes it is correct, sometimes it is not, so you never knew what roll you are going to win and bet big to win big. The house edge is very unpredictable which is pretty annoying if you lost too much money on it in a day.
212  Economy / Economics / Re: stupidity is so close to poverty on: December 08, 2019, 10:27:40 PM
But there are those who are born in poverty which is not their choice. Also, take Africa as an example where the people are forced to live in poverty and can’t do anything about it because their basic rights especially with education are not given to them. It is by the corrupt politicians we turn along with the opportunistic people playing behind the scenes. You are lucky to have been born especially in a country where the government had provided you protection of your basic rights and needs as well as I.
If a person is born poor then definitely it is not his fault as no human being can really decide where would he be after his birth. However, if a person stays poor and dies in this state, then he should only blame himself for every down and pit of life. For instance, people who are not investing in bitcoin but know about it and witnesses how capable it is, cannot blame anyone else in future for same financial status.
But being born in coalesce with poverty is also having a low chance in life, believe me. I've seen some hardworking poor people still they were not able to die being rich or at least an average state civilian. We can't totally blame them for their fate, we can't blame anybody for their fate. Like cryptocurrency, we cannot blame people not using it or those who even does not believe on it.

Not true at all, if they don't succeed in their life, maybe they are not hardworking at all, maybe they are working and doesn't have any goals in life, working without any goals is just a dream, and it will be forever. The problem about most of the poor people is that they are contented on what they have in life, depending on others, that is why it is better to work smart than to work hard.

Work smart and have your goals every single day to keep you moving, to be able to lift yourself up in the streets for being homeless, founder of Alibaba, Jack Ma, was from a very poor family, but look at him now, he is a living proof that being poor is not enough to bring you down if you have goals in your life.
213  Economy / Economics / Re: Fiat Vs Cryptocurrency, which would you choose? on: December 08, 2019, 07:53:51 PM
As of now, we cannot rely on the cryptocurrency alone even if it is better to have than fiat, the global adaptation for us is still a dream, in short, we can't use our cryptocurrency if fiat doesn't exist, and that is what exchanges are for, we exchange it in available pair that has value in fiat, for example is Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrency that could be converted into fiat.

In my case, I'm using XRP as of now and exchange it into fiat, so that the transaction fee is not that big unlike bitcoin.

215  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling can never be a means of making money. on: December 07, 2019, 11:18:10 AM
This is not entirely true, I know that there is a lot of people who are suffering from their losses in gambling, but gambling is still a way of earning money or making money, it's just most of us are not good at it, hence we always lose our money on it. I agree on others that says that the only people who are making money in gambling are the gambling site owners and the affiliates, but still there are some people who makes their fortune out of it, so I guess we could still consider gambling as a way of making a living, just a dangerous one.
216  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Truly Random is Random on: December 07, 2019, 08:35:18 AM
In my opinion, even if it is uniformly distributed or not, randomness may vary depends on our judgment about it, the point is, no matter how random it is, random will be still random, I mean the difference will not be far away to what we are trying to figure out in your post but if we are going to think about it, it will not make any change to the fact we can't beat the random unique patterns that each gambling sites have in order to make huge bankrolls every single day.
217  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Games that everybody likes on: December 07, 2019, 08:06:26 AM
I often play DICE in online gambling but I guess I can't call it the game that I like because I only use their free satoshis, never got addicted on it, but in the real life, I always bet on spiders fight when I was just a kid, and in basketball games lately, just to have some pastime when I'm bored.

New games makes us excited always, but after a while, we will always get bored with it and will look again for something new.

219  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why are you gambling? on: December 04, 2019, 11:58:45 AM
Aside from what was mentioned above, I find gambling challenging. when I play, I challenge my self to reach a certain profits at a certain point of time like in 1 hour, I should earn at least xxx amount already from xxx capital. However, if I am with someone I, I just enjoy the game, chat and entertain our selves, just have fun.

I think last line of yours is the one people should be looking at it beacuse above lines just represents that you only play for money and we know how much difficult it could be to make money from it and addiction level rises as well since it is bound by greed .

Making money in gambling is so difficult even if you have the most burning passion on it, that's not enough to counter the finishing blow of the house edge, we always lose, that's the sad truth about it, and once gambling addiction arises, it becomes more difficult to establish a foundation to start a winning piece to gain profits in the long run. But it's always fucked up, if someone is winning, the greed kicks in and they always lose their profits because of it.
220  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Worst Day of My LIFE - Dice on: December 04, 2019, 06:41:19 AM
Gambling is not just what you damble into. Gambling needs preparation especially in the mind. A lot of damage could be done even unto death, it could lead to jail, high blood pressure, irrecoverable losses, even suicide if someone do it anyhow. One could be lucky to do it anyhow and still win(that's gambling for you) but if comes the other way round should also be planned. And borrowing money to gamble is not adviceable, you should gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Very good advice. It's safer if we play gambling only from the extra money we have. I mean not until we spend the money we have saved. Especially until the debt. I also do not understand why people want to borrow money just to gamble.Are they obsessed with winning or do they want to win big ?? Do not let gambling destroy our lives

Borrowing money is better than stealing money just for a certain individual to have something to gamble, but it's like stealing if he is not going to pay it on time. Addicted gamblers are the ones who have this kind of routine if they run out of money yet they are still not satisfied with their game. Yes, you could call them obsessed with it because it's their life, without their addiction, they would feel empty and lonely.

It's ironic because they are having fun while they are destroying themselves indeed, but I guess there's nothing we could do if it is what they want.
