2081  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you set up limits for yourself? on: September 21, 2017, 02:49:03 PM
I set myself limits for gambling so as not to lose the funds that I really need for everyday needs. I do not feel any inconvenience because of this, but I just enjoy an intelligent game.
even you limit yourself but if you still have that money inside your pocket there's still a tendency that you will use that to recover loses i guess limiting also the time that we will stay is also important so it will be an easy access to stop and quit after you meet the time frame.

If we have limit on ourselves then we will not deposit more if we lose. That is why it is good to have a limit on ourselves. Sometimes when we dont have any limit at all it will be much worse as we will tend to put more when we lose. Limit is just some kind of barrier to prevent us from betting too much, everyone need to set limit for their own good

Nothing is wrong or right in this life. Right and wrong are just a perspective, but if you put it that way, it will be called "Misbehavior". To clarify, you did not know how to behave in order to get a good result. Gambling is tricky, once you enter its field, you became paralyzed. It is like fighting monsters in a huge jungle. If you know how to behave and be smart, gambling will be beneficial for you. You will earn much money. So, it is up to you to decide whether or not it is beneficial.

Yes, gambling can be useful if you use it wisely. If you flirt with them lightly, then they will just ruin you with every game. They really look like the world of the jungle and you need to have a good preparation for playing with them.
Gambling offers a lot of lessons, if somebody is ready to take them! The best thing about gambling is one discovers his true self, he comes to know what type of person he hits, whether he chooses shortcuts or is a determined guy who has no hunger for money. However, it is a dangerous game and one must put limits to himself.

Not everybody is ready to take it and someone might be coming just to try few bets and leave. Everyone know that they need to set up some limit but some people ignore it until they lose everything. It is not wrong to gamble but it is wrong when we dont set any limit , if we dont set any limit at all then we might be losing alot of money when we are gambling
2083  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Favorite type of gambling? on: September 20, 2017, 08:28:49 PM
Almost all the games i like. Everytime gamble, i am always change the type of game. Because i, want to have fun even when have made a profit, i immediately leave.

If you want to have fun then it is not the same as making profit. If you are having fun then you wont care about the result. You will most likely only care about how to have fun. These are two very different thing and we cant really say that we can do both if we gamble. In the end it is up to each individual wether to choose to play for fun
2084  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does experience matter in gambling? on: September 19, 2017, 04:33:12 PM
I don't think that experience matters in gambling. There are newbie's who tries to gamble cause they believe that mistakes will give them experience so that the next time they will do better. Aside from that, in gambling you're always trying you luck so experience is not needed.

It might be helping us but it might not as well depending on what route are we choosing. If we choose to play for fun then it might not be useful but if it is for profit then it might help. Even sometimes in a game like dice which is luck based all that experience will not help us at all. The only experience is to stop when we know that it is time to stop
2085  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Giving up gambling is not easy on: September 19, 2017, 11:54:21 AM

I became an addicted gambler and with my experience it's really a hard thing to quit gambling. You are going to fight against yourself even your body doesn't want to gamble anymore, your mind will tell you to gamble and it's just fine because you can quit on the next days to come. And when that happens, you will still do it again and the cycle will be repeating.

The same thing happened to me as well. I cant quit and I keep on coming back. For some people like us it is hard to quit gambling because it might affect ourselves. It is better to keep playing but with small amount so that we wont really risk alot of money even if we need to keep on playing. It is the best thing for us that cant stop playing

2086  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why we still gambling while we always lose? on: September 19, 2017, 11:51:17 AM
Because were trying to win but we ended up in loosing. But for me I enjoy playing gambling since from the start I enter gambling I can say that I have a positive profit.

We are trying hard, even it takes a life time to win we have the heart to keep on pushing our hope that we'll win in the end. Gamblers that says they are having positive profit are very rare and few so you are one of those gamblers that are very lucky when they gamble. And it's a good attitude that when you lose, you are just enjoying your bets and you'll not depend on your emotion when you lose.

Having positive mind is good to help us stay positive even if we lose so we wont keep playing like crazy people. If we want to enjoy our bet then we must play for fun and not for profit. If we keep playing for profit then we wont really enjoy playing . We will focus on trying to win and I wont really call that as having fun, we wont be able to have fun like that
2087  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why trading is better than gambling? on: September 19, 2017, 11:33:02 AM
I choose trading because trading has a smaller risk compared to gambling game. gambling games require luck while trading is determined by the skills we have. the conclusion is the skill and experience we can train while the luck can not we train, luck will not come when not the time. that's what makes gambling play very risky to play.

I have also similar points like you, about trading better than gambling. In trading we have less and smaller risk and if we compare risk wise in gambling, then we see in gambling we have full of risk, till the end, we don't know that we could save our money or not, mean we win or not. Also everyone know that winning in gambling also by chance we get it. So compare wise, trading is better to earn the money, but gambling is better to get fun and excitement.

Gambling is only for fun and there is no way to get money in gambling site. It is very ahrd and dont even try to dream about it. It wont work whatever thing that we have in our mind but it is different with trading. In trading, some strategy might work but people keep saying that trading is like gambling as well however I think it is different
2088  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you set up limits for yourself? on: September 19, 2017, 11:22:14 AM
I try to set up limit for myself but by addiction I some time go beyond the limit. And many of the time I can't control my mind while I am crossing the limit. So I now deposit and play with small amount.
Just leave your computer screen for few hours when your limit will be reached and than come back after half and hour or so when all your emotion will be finished. Don't be emotional or aggressive when gambling, play for fun than for money so that you can be within your playing limits as well as calm all around the day.
Having limits on one's action keeps him safe from unknown dangers. Gambling is a risky game so we must take this step for our own safety. Also, if someone is lucky to hit upon a jackpot or lottery, he must stop gambling in an instant and utilize his winnings in a more reliable thing.
That's true because the thought of being in a safety net would be less risk that you get but in reality, it's you who is still going to make ways to do it. Nothing is wrong unless you are doing too much and thinking about the luck that you would have, it won't happen. It's the person that should make good ways to increase the chances of winning.


It is hard to increase chance to win and it is better to stop gambling so that we wont lose alot of money. If someone could stop then better it is to stop rather than setting up limit. If we set up limit, we will still want to gamble somehow so that is better to stop however it depends on the person as well if he can keep on affording it then it is fine
2089  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does experience matter in gambling? on: September 18, 2017, 07:24:45 PM

Experiences and mistakes are made so that we can do better for the second time. Through experiencing things, we can learn a lot and have more chances to achieve more. Experience can make as skillful and take advantage to other to win from our own strategies in playing. Experience is the best teacher. We have to learn from the past so that future can be profitable.

In some other thing it might be helping us but I dont really think that it will help us in gambling. Sometimes when we play for profit, it will perhaps benefit us however if it is for fun then it wont be necessary. Instead of having experience to help us gambling more perhaps then it is better to use that experience not to gamble further
2090  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Giving up gambling is not easy on: September 18, 2017, 06:10:08 PM
Find a new hobby to replace gambling. Try working out, learning to code, video games or something like that. I wouldn't recommend gambling with play money, the best thing to do is do some new hobby whenever you feel the urge to gamble. Just keep it up and the urge will eventually go away.

Yes, this is the only option that will lead to success in order to quit gambling. If a person has another more interesting occupation, then gambling just will not be interesting to him.

However, it is not as easy as it sound. Just like many of us who are used to using computer every day. How is it possible for us to survive without access to internet forever? Some things have become their habit and it is very hard to change.
We have to get rid of "not as easy as it sounds" and turn it into "I can do it". Everything will be done, the most important is our mindset. If we keep thinking it's hard then it will always be difficult for us. We have to think that it's easy and we'll find the easiest way to do it.

Everything can be done if we want to do it. Sometimes if we cant do it with this way, we can always try another way around. Sometimes the way that peple suggest might not work for us. Example like me, I dont think that I can stop that is why instead of stopping right now I only play with a small amount so that I can have fun and enjoy it
I used to say one thing, change your way but never change your goal. It is true, when a person becomes truly determined about something, nothing can stop him from achieving it. But in your case, it seems to me that the goal has changed. If you were thinking of quitting gambling, in that case you have not but now you play a safe gambling.

Perhaps but atleast I wont lose money when I gamble but that is for the best. Perhaps I lack of determination but I dont think spending alittle amount of money is going to hurt me anyway. I enjoy playing and I am having fun with a small amount so everything seems to be much better for me then to spend alot to play like everybody else
2091  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Giving up gambling is not easy on: September 17, 2017, 03:30:28 PM
I believe anything you are addicted to is not easy to get out..now if you are having a difficulties in giving up gambling, then you are addicted.. basically its all about self control and redirecting your self. Do something new, i know its easy to say but its totally hard to give up if your hooked for a long time. But as i said, self control, self discipline and seek a help. As long as you are willing to change then you can do it.
everything is all depends on how you are willingly like to quit and give up, engagement with gambling is really hard especially for those who already got addicted too much, we frequently read those advises and seems that its always depend on how people adopt change and how deeper he really wanted to
do so.

It depends on the person but sometimes even when you have quite a good will, you will not be able to quit as well. Sometimes it is harder than your expectation, Im the one that cant quit no matter what I tried that is why I choose to gamble for fun right now so I only use a small amount of money everytime I play and I dont have to worry about losing money
2092  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: September 17, 2017, 03:24:46 PM
Don't make gambling as your habit, don't bet if you will always hope to win because it won't help you. Just treat as an entertainment that should only be done with your free time. It is not the solution to gain money as a source of living. Gambling would be also wrong if you tolerate yourself to be an addict.

not a solution to be a source of life, but there's no harm too if gamblers expect to profit from gambling. Profits are things promised by gambling, which means it's only legal for a gambler to expect to get what gambling has promised. As long as it is still in control, gambling for profit is not a mistake.

As long as it is under control then everything is fine but if you think that those who gamble for profit is fine then it is wrong. If you gamble for profit then it is hard to get yourself under control. You will want to keep betting for more and in the end you are going to lose more. I dont think that it is wise to gamble for profit if you know that you keep losing
2093  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your reason to gamble? Fun or profit? on: September 16, 2017, 07:56:18 PM
Most gamblers always want a profit, because most are still short of money. Except for millionaires, who gamble just for fun. Including me, the motivation of gambling is to make big profits. But, just hope because always lose.  Embarrassed

Maybe you need to try a different strategy or a different hobby if you still can. Also having a dayjob in case you don't have one may lead you to a greener pasture than just giving a shot to the moon to be rich from gambling ;-)
My suggestion won't be anything different from yours. He must try out some more effective and reliable method of becoming rich. There is no instant way and he cannot be a millionaire overnight. The time someone is spending in gambling in hope of making money can actually give him some if he utilizes it in the right way.

Everyone has their right to choose to play for fun or profit but if someone play for fun then he dont have to worry about money anymore. Even he doesnt need to care about winning or losing anymore. Instead of wishing to be rich from gambling and hope to make alot of money, it is better to play for fun and expect less about winning money
2094  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction. on: September 16, 2017, 07:52:52 PM
Addiction in the game of gambling is one of the things that should be avoided. Addiction can make our lives crumble. We all know that gambling is a very risky game. So if we have experienced an addiction then we will be difficult to stop and play gambling until all our money runs out. This is the bad impact of an addiction, so avoid and consider gambling as an entertainment only.

Gambling is not addiction as addiction is something which can not be set free, but gambling involves money and no matter how much you are addicted to gambling, you cannot play gambling if you do not have money in hand. So gamblers know what they are risking and there is no addition in this.

It is an addiction if we keep on playing. We could say that it is not addiction if we can stop but for me it is different because I cant stop. I just dont stop but I play with less amount then usual, so I still in control of myself . Some people dont have control over themselves anymore and they ended up using money that they are not supposed to spend
2095  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: the future of gambling on: September 15, 2017, 09:45:02 AM
The real volume of people using crypto in online gambling will not come untill adoption is much wider.

Only a tiny fraction of the population owns cyrpto and even a smaller percentage is actually using it.

It's the fact that we are still in the circulation but what's good about it we are the pioneers (3rd-10th batch, I guess). There will be more to come in the future as gamblers want something new and bitcoin/crypto currency gambling.

There will always be more gambler in the future especially when the price of bitcoin getting higher it will attract alot of new guy to try it. We cant stop what is going to happen but we can atleast remind those who are new in gambling that this kind of action might cost them alot of money and it will make them addicted so better stop while they could
2096  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do you even gamble? on: September 15, 2017, 09:27:17 AM
I do gamble every now and then myself, but I am for sure not addicted.

Although I know my limits, it's really hard to stop when you're down. You can't stand the fact that you lose money, and you want to play more to get the money back.

I think it has a lot to do with the uncertainty of the outcome of the gamble. There always is a chance you win it back, so you're chasing your loss.
Yes you already are an addicted but you're not too much cause you can control your limits. But like addicted cigarrets . It will last very long time if you don't real try to remove it. So hope you can quit it as soon as possible. Chasing the loss is a way to bounce back . Winner is the one that know how to stop their loss.

Some people gamble because they want to gamble and try it. Some people gamble because they want to get more money and some people gamble because they think it is fun. For me it will be the third option. Chasing loss is not what I do but when I keep on coming back that means I want to keep on playing to have more fun
2097  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why we still gambling while we always lose? on: September 15, 2017, 09:25:58 AM
Well it is true, we often experience lose but we still gambling. on my knowledge i think that's because we feel curious and continue to obsess about looking for a chance to win until finally sometimes do not care will experience busted again. It's often happens to all gamblers including me, i often experience like that and feel it.
Yeah that's very particular. This is always happening to those gamblers, but some gamblers also like to gambke even if they are always losing is because they just want to entertain themselves or maybe having an activity with their spare time. It is actually always happening. In my experience I play gambling even if I lose often is because sometime I just wanted to try my luck on that day.

When we lose , we will keep going because we want to get back what we have lost. I dont think that alot of people are the same like that because right now I keep coming back not to get back what I want but to play for fun. Not everyone play for profit but sometimes when we play for fun it is better even if we come back we dont really spend alot of money
2098  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: can gambling give you lessons in life? on: September 15, 2017, 09:23:53 AM
of course can give me lessons in my life by making me more patient and using some skills with different stratigies.

The only lesson that I get is when I lose everything. That is the only lesson that I get for being greedy. That teach me alot of thing as well , It teach me not to spend something that might be important in the future. I got around 3 btc when the price was around $300 or so then I lose everything. Few weeks after that, I need to use it for something else which is really important on that time
2099  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: September 15, 2017, 09:21:32 AM
At least it is right or wrong for you personally , you have the rights to consider whatever it is.
And gambling for most people who gives opinion it was a wrong action at all to make money .
Why? People is so vulnerable to get addicted when it comes to a game that involve money.

If possible then it is better not to gamble. We dont know if we could be addicted or not but most people will be addicted. So instead of trying, it is better not to try at all. Gambling is not wrong at all, it is us as a gambler that is wrong because we spend alot of money to gamble. We spend alot of money then keep coming back to lose more , that is what I called as wrong

Sorry but it is a less likely scenario for a person to not try gambling even just once in their life. Even kids these days are more exposed from gambling since it is very accessible with the use of cryptocurrencies. What satoshi did is not all about bitcoin being a decentralized  and more secure way of handling money BUT also it improve and nurture the gambling industry. As for the title, it is not wrong to gamble unless you use it for negative outputs like being in debt to someone.

Sometimes when we say no to somebody, it really makes them want to try it so it is better for them to try it by themselves and experience it. Sometimes if we do this , we will be able to make sure that person will have his own experience as well choices wether to keep gambling or not. Gambling is not wrong but when we spend alot that is wrong
2100  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: can gambling give you lessons in life? on: September 14, 2017, 02:36:06 PM
Yes it could they say that experience is the best lesson you could ever have,
So in gambling you could experience a lot of trouble and I think you should learn a lot from it,
Never risk what you couldn't afford to lose never put your future money at risk .


Never risk that we need to spend. Even if we dont need it or cna afford it, I wouldnt spend alot of money to gamble as well. I rather spend that to somewhere else where I can enjoy more fun. I enjoy gambling but the the pleasure to spend alot of money for fun in gambling site is just not so worth it compared with the other thing that we could have
