2181  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: November 16, 2017, 10:59:40 AM
I just have one bet for this weekend:

Arsenal vs Tottenham.  Tottenham to win +0 at 2.13.

I'd rather put money on the Spurs than on Lol_Wenger's Arsenal, not only because I think it has more value but I def think Tottenham wants the victory more.  It's winning games like these that puts them on top of the league, and if they don't start winning them now then expect City to open the gap more.

But we'll see.  Poch is a great manager imo.  He might pull one out of the hat this weekend.



I’m not going to bet on this game myself, I’m not confident enough about what I think. But I have a feeling it will be a draw.

It's what I love about the bet.  I think it's gonna be a draw too but leaning towards a Tottenham win.  They have the younger squad and I really believe in Poch's ability to outfox Wenger.

And it's a derby.  Expect the game to be more physical than usual.

I have the feeling that this game will end with a draw result as well. Both teams are good Imo. I expected the best entertainment from this derby.

For me, it isn't. We have different talent and knowledge on how we give and do stuff that we love. Bitcoins are for everyone and we have the chance to try or even have this to earn and save money for our future.

How about you guys? Is it only for the educated and knowledgeable people only?
No, I think it is not only for those educated and knowledgable people but for everyone. Because even if a person is not educated or not a knowledgable one, they can understand whats in this forum as long as they are reading and searching about bitcoin, also if they are interested to it and willing to gain knowledge about this they will learn and gain some knowledge eventually.
I don't think so because bitcoin forum is for everyone and every one who have enough knowledge about bitcoin can work in this forum and can make enough profit but yes there is some issue for some uneducated people if a person is uneducated and also are a not native English speaker then he have a problem to work with this forum because in forum mostly English writer can able to work if they have knowledge about this forum.

Basic education and knowledge will be enough for us to start using bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies. We do not need to get a special degree before we can jump into the world of crypto, which means crypto is almost for everyone.
2183  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you know when to stop? on: November 15, 2017, 03:13:08 PM
From the 1st day i started gambling i took an oath to never spend more than 5$ per day on gambling so i won't ever ruin my self and will always have enough money for my daily expanses . I also stop whenever i have more than 3 consecutive losses and try to comeback the next week .
it's a good strategy to save yourself from massive loss. You are good, to put this rules and follow it. Personally, I always set limits before i start gambling, so far, I didn't achieve it. I always save as i can, and gamble in the best event in a good time, I mean by that Live games.

Self control is very necessary in gambling, because it is always based on gambling desire or lust. If we continue to follow uncontrolled passions then a profit for gambling owners, because it is definitely a game that we do is very messy resulting in huge losses. One thing you really need to understand in gambling is the analysis, which if you do understand and understand about gambling then the game is very easy to do.

It is the most essential thing because if we dont really have it then it will be very hard for us to gamble. Some people will destroy themselves if they dont have. I destroyed myself once as well and I did regret it however Im at the good track right now. People dont know when to stop that is why a limit is always a good thing to have

Unfortunately the level of self control will be vary from person to person. That is why each people, who definetely knows about themself, should find the best method for himself. Public can only share the broad outline.   
2184  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency are considered illegal? on: November 15, 2017, 11:11:45 AM
Hi everyone,
I've join the bitcoin world for 1 year and earn a little income from this wonderful place.
But, unfortunately, when I talk about this to my parents, they all said this is the illegal money and I have to quit it before getting trouble with the government. Truly, even the main TV news program in my country said that, national banking system will banned bitcoin from any payment and there will be an punishment for that.
In my opinion, Bitcoin and crypto. still have its advantages and could be helpful if we use it for the good purpose.

What do you think, how can I explain to my parents? some article would be great. Thank you all!

All things in this world can be abused and no exception with bitcoin. As  long as we obey the rules that apply in our respective countries, I think there is nothing to worry about. Tell your parents that what you do with bitcoin is the things that still follow the rules that apply in your country. Give them proof of what you do with bitcoin.
2185  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin money? on: November 14, 2017, 05:10:58 PM
Anything can be considered "money" if it has intrinsic value!  What gives something value.... what people are willing to pay for it.. Supply and demand.

But do not forget one thing! It is about the validity of a thing when it is used as a paying tool. Till today, some countries still aren't allowed the use of bitcoin as a legal means of payment.  On such countries, bitcoin isn't money.
2186  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling loses and wins on: November 14, 2017, 04:08:29 PM
Do you need pointers and warnings?DONT PLAY GAMBLING by then you will prevent losing or winning.you have stated that you loss 60 usd and still u wanna play.how much loses do you need to realize that in gambling is mor eof losing than winning even.why not try to invest on trading than gambles your funds.but its your discretion to play or not anyway its your funds not ours

Not all of the people think the same way that you think, we have different decisions of life even though there is a lot of people who already gave him an advice, he is still the one who will help himself, he is the one who will decide what to do next, but it just annoying because these kind of people are asking help but they didn't apply it that is why they keep on losing all over and over again.

There are already a bunch of example from people who suffers bad result in their life in regard with gambling. But as we know, those example won't make fearness to others. People knows that by doing gambling they will get bad experience but they keep doing it.

I deposited over 5 hours ago and it has not been credited to my account. I am livid. Fix this!

Username: Choddson

Deposit Address: 0x936a41825f2023a8aa81f89410a5c67a0601fd9b


I tried going on their chat and they say to contact support. I don't see any possible way of contacting support. I can't register for the forum and just ugh. This has been a nightmare for me! I just want my coins credited!

Beware of this site! Not crediting eth deposits!

I saw there is 0.18 eth in your deposit address and that means your deposit has been credited if I am not mistakenly guess. And whenever we have a problem on bitsler, it is better to send a support ticket. They will reply it asap.

People who says bitcoin is a form of gambling are certainly people who do not know the definition of gambling itself. There are many types of investments out there that are almost similar to bitcoins and certainly no one says these types of investments are gambling.
2189  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcoin casino's are the FUTURE! on: November 13, 2017, 05:56:51 PM
Traditional gambling and gambling with bitcoin have their respective advantages and disadvantages. There are still many gamblers who are afraid when they have to surrender their money in the form of crypto currency to gambling places. Financial security is still one of the reasons why some people are reluctant to gamble with bitcoin. There are still many things that need to be fixed in order for bitcoin casinos to be the ultimate goal for most gamblers.

Bitcointalk is my go to guy. After that reddit jcryptomarket, cryptotrader,ethtrader). Then the offical crypto news sites.

Cheers

Just like me, bitcointalk is my primary source for being notified with the latest news. Sometimes I read from coindesk as well but not in regular time.
2191  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Did you ever convince or encourage someone to invest in Bitcoin? on: November 13, 2017, 07:47:51 AM
I'd rather not share bitcoins to other people who don't easily understand how bitcoins work. I'd share it instead with more knowledgeable people in the computer industry rather than a business minded person. They don't understand the technicalities of bitcoins unlike us who actually invests on it. It would be easier to share it to people who understand how the internet and how a computer works.

Indeed, It would be very difficult to convince people to invest in bitcoin if these people do not know yet about bitcoin. We had to give them an explanation and ask them to look it up first. I've personally convinced some of my friends to put their money on crypto and some of them have already done it.
2192  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you feel when win in gambling? on: November 12, 2017, 07:10:59 PM
90% of the people when they win they try their luck again and again. It is not right or wrong it is full of emotion and the confident some time over confident also happen. My case is I keep calm as earlier I use to lose so I will treat success and defeat equally.

Yes, when people got some wins in gambling, mostly they will have big confidence that they are good enough with the games. And they keep trying again and again.
2193  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 134k unconfirmed transactions now. I'm starting to get really worried about this on: November 12, 2017, 06:33:33 PM
I'm starting to get really worried about this. Me too bro. I make some transactions in last days and already have 0 confirmations.

I have one transaction that hasn't get a confirmation yet after two days. But I remain calm because in the past I ever get a confirmation after a very long waiting. As bitcoin user I am aware that something like this can happen at anytime.
2194  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: QUESTIO:How to help a friend stop gambling addiction before he gets in too deep? on: November 12, 2017, 11:20:31 AM
So you see, i have a very close friend(also a neighbor) and he is obviously getting addicted into gambling online and is losing a lot of money in the process, i have posted already about what drives a gambler to still gamble even when they lost a lot already and i had a lot of great answers which led me to a conclusion that the things that drive a gambler to do such things is the thrill that the uncertainty of an outcome of a gamble can give and greed.
Now what i wanna know next is how can i stop someone getting more and more addicted to gambling? I wanna help my friend because we have been through a lot together and I don't want to just sit back and watch him ruin his life like those other people i know.

Please share your thoughts.
 thanks.

If you really want to help him, then you must be willing to spend a lot of time with him. You must prevent him when he will touch the gambling-related items and try to invite him to do other more useful activities.
2195  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Buying and Holding the only way? on: November 11, 2017, 05:06:22 AM
No, there are other ways to earn bitcoin. You can start by participating in a signature campaign. Signature campaigns pay bitcoins weekly. You can also try joining logo-making contest but you should win in order to gain bitcoin. If you are a good programmer, some will pay you for creating websites or programs. If you earn bitcoins with those things, hold it and sell it.

True, there are a lot of ways to grow our bitcoin and signature campaign is one of them. Bug bounty, logo and signature design are the other good ways but those will require special skills. Trading is also good example on how to increase our bitcoin. Strictly speaking, we can do something that fit with our conditions to collect or to grow our bitcoin. Buying and holding aren't the only way.
2196  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is changing the world. on: November 10, 2017, 05:24:50 PM
Bitcoin contributes to many things in this world. It gives an alternative way for investment, send and receive money abroad become easier and many more. Sure bitcoin already changed something and this seems to continue in the future.
2197  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 18 greens x2 on win on: November 10, 2017, 09:59:14 AM
Currently my faucet strategy is base bet 500 sats x2 on win. My goal is to hit 18 greens which will be worth 1.35 BTC. My problem is that its already been 2 months of doing it and im always maxing out my 30 faucets but im still not hitting it. Do guys think that it is possible for it to generate 18 straight greens? Maybe some of you already experience this hope you can shed some light.

You already did this method for 2 months? You are a person with a high level of patience then. The chance to get 18 greens at 2x is exist. Patience, which you already have, and luck are the two main factor to be able to get it. The only bad thing from your strategy is, you did it with faucet. You can be banned before you hit your target and therefore you will waste your time.

I'm not going to be surprised if Baryom or the staff of Bitsler will post another promo for 19 Billionth bets. With Bitcoin price soaring, increase of interest with Bitcoin and hitting all time high, traffic in sites like Bitsler increases too. It's like Bitsler is getting 1 Billion bets per month. That's 33 million bets per day  Shocked

Yes, 1 billion bets come so fast at bitsler. This is because Bitsler has become the most popular and trusted gambling site. Baryom and his team treat users very well.
2199  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: gambling ends on: November 09, 2017, 05:10:51 PM
can this world stop in gambling?
someone who like to gamble hard to escape from the gambling trap. almost like a drug addict. Even after they went bankrupt still struggling to gamble by borrowing money for gambling. Actually what do they expect?
Gambling will not stop, it is regulated but will not stop. The government earn money from gambling through taxes. In my country, even the church gets a portion of the gamblings earnings. If its illegal gambling, government still have no power over it because in my country its protected by government officials, police and military, they get protection money from it. The more it will be hidden from the public, the more gamblers will find a way to gamble.

I feel like we are on the same country. Government and Church receive from "legal" gambling. I believe that as long as there are rich people who gets bored and poor people who wants to get rich very quickly, gambling will never end.

Gambling already exist from a long time ago and it's still avaiable till today. And in the future I think gambling will keep survive. In the past when gambling was allowed in my country, my government able to finance many things including sports. At that time our achievement was good but not today after gambling isn't allowed anymore. Tbh, even though gambling now is considered as illegal activity, but the number of people who did gamble remain huge. I think, gambling will stay alive with humans.
2200  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you USE your BTC? on: November 09, 2017, 10:20:29 AM
Not every countries allowed the use of bitcoin and any other type of alts as a mean of payment. Therefore people from such countries prefer to hoard their coins or just trade the coin with fiat or with other cryptocurrencies.
