Why is someone get addicted to gambling once he gamble ?
Because of GREED, when I started gambling 5 yrs ago, I was happy winning $100 and go home after that, then it became a daily routine for me to go to the casino, and that's when the problem started when I was no longer happy winning just a couple of hundred bucks, I wanted more to the point that I was already winning a lot like 10x my usual winnings but i still don't want to go home and then my luck ended, I lost way more in the process than my winnings so I ended up broke and sadly that's when the time I decided to quit when it's too late. Nowadays I still gamble but I mostly use online casinos or sportsbook now, I learned to be happy on smaller profits and stop gambling when I'm getting tilted. That is really a good story to share mate so that others including me will be enlightened to the fact that greed can let us down. It is really one of the prime reasons why we lost even me, I won couple of bitcoins already but I did not stop because of wanting to earn more and then lost all in just a split of seconds. |

No I don't.. I have tried them a few times but it just isn't fun for me. I prefer dice and blackjack. They'll probably be my favorite games for a long time...
People like the dice more because of low house edge but slots have more fun when we hit the jackpot and got more better reward, slots for fun is good to play specially when we have some free spins from a promo and won more bigger than our expectation, that is why I like slots. You are right that dice has lower house edge compared to slots that is the reason really why I don't like it because I always lose. But recently, I get a lot of free spins from a new online casinos and I just use that free spins in slots just for fun and I lost nothing except time. Would you share the new casinos who giving away free spins? I also love to play slots with free spins or no deposit bonus because I cant play the slots without any risks and may earn some money if I can complete the rollover. Sure, I have tried couple of new online casinos that gives free spin and I would recommend 1 that I really like the most and it is mbitcasino.. Good luck and have fun mate!  |

I realize something just to day i really want to quit gambling for own good and also for my love once gambling can help us to reach what we want in life we know that every time we are going to play at any gambling site we are just being desperate in wealth always trying to make a good profit but it's negation -_- we are just ended up loosing every thing we had. Think of your love once then you are going to realize that you need to quit .
Many relationships get destroyed due to gambling and many people end up dying or committing suicide not capable to pay debts due to gambling. However the only person responsible for this is the gamblers themselves, since it is their choice to gamble or not In other words, the only way to stay away from gambling is to exert proper self control and if possible not to gamble at all. Realizing something won't change everything yes you might reazlie now that gambling wreck your life already but does not mean you're going to stop playing and it's good actually for your love once. After a few weeks and you have money you are going to back playing gambling again. THeUltraElite is right loosing too much or loaning to much just to gambled will ended your life and you don't have no choice. That is really the bad part of gambling, when we tend to can't control ourselves from gambling again due to unfinished chasing of loses.. I would suggest that if we decide to quit gambling, we also need to let go of past loses so that we won't have the urge to come back again in the near future. |

I gambled with over 120mbtc just over the weekend. Lost 100mbtc on two high risk bets and won the rest of the difference but in the hole now for 80mbtc  That is alot to lose once you think about it. Thinking of moving to Eth to start betting because it's worth isn't that much and the losses don't sting as much either.  It is really disappointing when we lost a lot during our gambling session. That is why it is really a best recommendation to just play with money that we can really afford to lose and just play for fun, period. |

Gamble in sports betting so you can research every team statistics and compare it to other that way you can determine who to bet so the chance of winning will be higher. Avoid roulette game as I don't have good experience to it stick to statistic games just to be safe .
That's one real smart way to go about gambling but the issue there is that there is no certainty in any game because its even hard to go against the odds provided by the gambling sites in the sense that you put yourself in a position where you believe they have more statistics to conclude the odds. Another issue is when the odds are not too different from each other which could be confusing to go with a side without beclouded with emotions. Instead of wasting time on finding a smart way just play with some small fixed amount and enjoy the games. If one is lucky, then they will win otherwise think that you spent that money for fun activity. I never bet high amount in any single bet so I don't worry much on end results. That is so true. We need to gamble with small amount or an amount that we can afford to lose when it comes to gambling. Because gambling is just very risky. We should only gamble just for fun and not for profit. That's surely the smart way for gamblers who loses most of the time and have tried to make money in gambling but failed to achieve a good outcome. I hope there's a lot of smart gamblers who will not wait to lose more money before they will start to accept the reality. That is true and I believe it needs a lot of courage and strength to really control emotions especially when you are already winning it is just easier than done. |

If you do not know how to controll yourself you can lose everything you have with gambling and you can lose even more borrowing then being in debt.
Btw I think that online gambling is a bit safer than the real life one because you don't have those "friends" sitting around and always offering to "help" you with a loan.
I agree with this sometimes we are just loosing our control into our self and that's a result of loosing in gambling but every one keep loosing if they are trying to push them selves to make more profit if you already win then try to be contented and get back on another they to gambling try to entertainment and ask for advices. Yes if we control our emotions in gambling then we can reduce our losing chances when we are in play. And sometimes this self-control will help you to make a profit. I don't know how much I lose in gambling. But majorly I lost money in slot games. So now I will play slot games with ver less money. And I am trying to control my emotions when I am in long run win/loss. You are correct mate. It is very important to control your emotions and be disciplined enough to really control your emotions because most of the time, especially when we are on a winning streak, we tend to bet more in order to get more and before we know it, we have lost all of ou bankroll already if we wont stop. |

I do not gamble to much but it always seems that when I do, I take the loss big time. For example, I have lost over 3 BTC in the BustaBit game online. It is fun and I like to play but I always get greedy with it. I have won about 2.2 BTC back, but I lost more than what I have won. For some odd reason, I keep coming back over and over. I do not know why I do it, why do you?
In my opinion it is always the atmosphere and the stress that makes me come back to gamble time after time. The community chat box definitely keeps you involved and engages you in the act of gambling for longer periods of time. People also may do it because of their greed. People are greedy because we love money, who does not? But it's just wrong to do it in gambling.. No one should treat gambling as a source of income because it does not work that way, it's for fun for many and just only few who are coming back that consistently making money. Most of us are coming back because of loses we want to chase. You hit it mate. Most of the people that comes back to gambling are either because of greed, chasing previous loses, or just wanting to play for fun. But the majority really are in the first 2 examples. |

If bitcoin will not introduced to people then no one will rich in gambling i think gambling can make people rich in just onw lucky blow when you are in casinos and play poker games and other. and there are no owner gambling rich right now and people are really hard to earn money.
The possibility of gambling not existing is very small, and the number of people who would have become rich from gambling is small too because only the chosen ones are becoming rich out of it. Without gambling I can say that more people would have a better life right now because a lot of us are betting everytime more than we wanted to when we begun our day so many become actually homeless because of that. I would say that only a portion of the society are gambling, not majority in the society but yes, there is a need for that small amount of individual to slow down their gambling habits especially if they just keep on losing and not winning at all. |

yes, bitcoin is future of gambling.
i like use bitcoin for gambling because is anonymous.
This is probably the most interesting thing here. I've seen even drug dealers on PrimeDice, he gave away 0.5BTC to someone. It's great that we can be anonymous when and if we want. It is widely used for gambling and I also think it might be the future of it. that is funny! did the guy tell you himself that he is a drug dealer? because i have never seen a criminal comes on a public place and shouts out i am a criminal he might have messed with you, and that 0.5 BTC was transferred to his own alt account or a repayment of a loan. haha.. It amuses me why? because I did that couple of months ago also on primedice, I have 2 accounts and I pretended to tip someone out of nothing or just a simple question. But it is really just me with my 2 primedice accounts. You are right mate, it was just a joke and nobody will going to public that he is a criminal.. |

Yeah, I have noticed it, but in my thinking, it is not right that winning in gambling is not depend on personalities or habits. Because i think it depend on Luck, many useless personalities can win in gambling, but only when luck cooperate with them.
But it is other thinking when someone say that strategy or skills would be needed in gambling than also it will be matter our personalities or habits.
You are correct mate. Gambling is just pure luck and right system or strategies. As we can see the professional gamblers, we can really tell that they have variations of personalities. Hence, personality really does not play a big factor in winning but luck and strategy does. |

You are right mate about investing to online casinos but I just would like to point it out that there is really no guarantee at all that you will always make money from investing because there are many other factors that you will gonna lose it as well like casino runs away your money or some lucky sharks winning max allin bet.. unless you invest regularly then all good..
Yeah, it is still possible to happen. There are always risk involved. Just like a sudden closure of the gambling site, possible government regulations or the owner have stopped operation and run the money. Same with trading also. There are full of uncertainty.But you can have a guide like in investing "Invest only the money you can afford to lose". If you are interested in investment the invest at least decent amount. Because if you invest big amount, the profit will be less, so in that time if you invest small amount I think it will not work out. Check this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1585408.0 you will get some idea about investing. Exactly, i think anyone want to invest in gambling sites, so should choose one of them, because we all are gambler, good or bad, it doesn't matter, But should invest in gambling sites, First of all, i really trust on every gambling campaigns, these all are great and i believe if we invest in it, than definitely, they give us good profit, and don't need to afraid of risk. Gambling is one and only bigger field of risk, but we play gambling, so why not we should try to invest in gambling sites? Generally investing in gambling sites are profitable but you need to ensure you are putting your money in a legitimate site, that's the only way you can make profit because with new sites though they have a good investment program but trust matters so put your money to those who have their reputation already. I agree with you mate. Although I am not really saying that new casinos cannot be trusted but all I am saying is that it is always a better idea to invest to reputable investment vehicles, not just on online casinos, but in any other investment because with these reputable companies, you can always rely on them your money because they have proven track record that they are really performing - but this is not really necessary true that there is no risk of losing your investment though because there is always a risk. |

I think trading and gambling both is same. both have a risk and have a chance to win and get a profit, but I think to choose trade because trading more chance to win. I look sparse which win the gambling. it is my opinion if my opinion is wrong I say sorry.
thank you.
They are just the same in terms of the risk that you may get upon doing both. But trading has lesser risk rather than with gambling and I think most of the traders do gamble because they can just easily take the risk lightly with their trades. And for those trader who are not playing gambling games doesn't want to risk the profit they took from trading. Aside from trading has less risk than gambling, we tend to have more control on trading especially the amount of trades and up to certain limits after we finally decide what position we take based on our fundamental and technical analysis. In gambling, there is no such that. |

I wont risk never nothing above 0,01btc with gambling, i dont consider a big ammount to risk and the potencial earning as well loss its controled that way, playing with big ammounts i do know i would loose the bitcoins and get pissed with my self.
i also never try to esceed 0.01 to 0.02 and that is my limit, i always try not to exceed this limit, but some time when i exceed the limit i really face a big lost. therefor now i always try my best not to exceed the limit. Good for you mate because in my experienced, I lost 3 btc in a week time. It is really frustrating and that is why I finally decide not to gamble for profit again and if I gamble, then just for fun like sports betting - where I gamble to my favorite team and I only gamble on money that I can afford to lose. |

I would also recommend to you guys to avoid sites that offer you a non deposit bonus,unless you have some good feedbacks about this site from some trusted sources.
There are no free gifts and if a gambling site awards everyone a non deposit bonus then they wold not be able to make profit.
Always search for feedbacks online before depositing money into a unknown website.
IF this happens, then I guess it is more cool to just use the free bonus and not deposit at all. Who knows, you will win out of that free bonus. But really, based on what I see online, what I see is that even if the bonus are free, we need to wager a certain amount of percentage before we can even get the bonus money, we need to free it otherwise we cannot cash it out. Hence, that is really not free bonus at all because there is always a tendency that you cannot cash it because you'll lose in the process. |

Bitcoin is wild and volatile so storing does not seem to be a good idea. I do not wish this to happen but just in case if there is a world war lll then there would be very less buyers and there will be a low bitcoin price. The best would be enjoying with whta you have now or buy some gold.
It is volatile as USD and other currencies but it is very promising. Why? Because of its cool features and easy transaction online with the capacity of making our transactions private and also fast. There is really nothing wrong setting aside few bitcoins for grandkids in the future while most of your bitcoin earnings are for your personal use. |

I don't gamble what I afford to lose and I just gamble when I have free time. So when I have spare time, my reason to gamble is only for entertainment. Because I've been once a gambler and it made my life miserable and take note I'm still not that addicted with gambling. Just my emotion is putting me to do rage betting in the past, but now I learned.
Good for you that you learned early your lessons from gambling. And you already stopped being an addicted gambler before it ruins your life. Because of money involved in gambling makes every people get addicted to it and they treat it as a way to gain profit. Unfortunately some gamblers are after learning lessons, coming back into gambling even they have stopped gambling earlier. At least after a hard lesson from gambling, we should not continue gambling for profit purpose. If we do not change the intention of gambling then we might need to face some continuous hard lessons and its consequences. That is correct. If your reason to gamble is for profit then better stop at once because that is where the place of casinos - not yours. Casinos earn through house edge advantage in return for them giving players entertainment. Hence, you should only be gambling just for fun and entertainment. |

whether there is a strategy to gamble? even out there are many people who sell strategy but changed to the trick. and foolishly there are also people who believe that it could bring them victory
If they are already have the strategy, they shouldn't selling those because they can earned easy money, aren't they? The only reason why they are selling the strategy, because they are hoping if there are some stup*d people who still believe if there's "win strategy" in gambling. Does any one really believe that there are a strategy in playing gambling that is all in randomness and luck base method of games, I think a gambling method that needs strategy and skills are poker and sports betting only but it would also required small amount of luck on it, and winning strategy in gambling is try not to bet for a day and I think that would be a win for you because you evaded the risk in playing gambling, and try to play just to kill time and on occasional basis only I think that would lessen your losses. I believe the strategy is the best way and should be done in gambling. Because without the gambling strategy then all we are doing is going to fall apart and just made us get a result not maximal. If you think that gambling would not require strategy,. then I would assume that any gambling you are doing is absolutely the mainstream or are you stupid enough to do gambling. the cause will not be gambling that rely solely on luck That is right. The very reason why professional gamblers win, aside from being lucky, is that they have several strategies in place for them to implement - this is a pre planned betting wherein they follow that planned bets only no matter what the outcome of the session - and they are willing to lose on that session because it is just part of the game. |

u will loose small amount, then best more then more then u quit or loose all u have  gambling is only for people with tight nerves Whether you got small bankroll or big bankroll the end result will be same. But with big bankroll you can play longer and if your smart enough can stop when you make some profit but if you continue gambling surely will lose back to casino houses. So gambling should be only for fun and entertainment. Yes, whether we win or lose at gambling mostly we will come back to bet again. There is a common expression here in my place that says "win at gambling is just temporary while lose is our final destination". Based on that, I will always bet with small amount hence even I will lose and lose again that wont interfere my financial. We should really expect to lose when we are playing gambling and we should not aim for money the important thing is having fund management and as you said we should only bet on the amount that would not interfere or compromise our financial. Small amounts would be a good idea especially when you are just starting up on playing gambling. If we really don't know what we are doing and we don't have any strategies in place and just betting randomly, then at the end of the day, we are really going to lose because of the casino house edge advantage - unless we are lucky enough. However, if we play like the professional gamblers, we can mitigate loses by employing pre-planned betting. And even you will just start to bet with small amount but you are serious with it, it can result to a positive output. Playing professionally is a good way to gamble applying what you are reading and able to have some decent strategies that are working fine as you gamble. If you really intend to become a professional gambler, then it is correct. But if you just gamble few times a day or week, then I guess it won't work at all because you need to learn and experienced more before you can effectively do some calculated bets and strategies on gambling. |

Staying away from gambling is an easy thing if you are willing enough to forget gambling. Just think about the time that you wasted with gambling and all the losses that you made, make some calculations for it and it will make you think and you will regret that you did gambling. That will encourage you to quit gambling.
I totally and 100% agree with you mate. That was also my realization that at the end of the day, I lost all of my time with little to no profit at all or much worst more loses than winning. I would really recommend gambling just for entertainment and not as a way of your source of income because it is very risky. |
