2201  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The Definition of Winning in Gambling on: April 19, 2019, 07:41:24 PM
Definition of winning in gambling or any casino is withdrawing after the win ! Wink If you win and you don't withdraw yet but kept the balance in the casino wallet, I will not consider it as a win because the temptation to gamble with the money will be too much and you can bust it with a wrong bet instantly. So, winning is when you withdraw the amount and spend it on something Smiley
Yes. Winning in gambling is all about learning how to control your emotions not to gamble again after making profits. If you continue to gamble because of the greed you have, surely the amount you had won a while ago will be back to the casino again because of higher chances that you'll just lose them all.

This is the reason why I don't usually play luck-based games. You don't know what could happen and most of the time you are charging with your money blindly, that is a risk though there are a lot of people that do that to earn money. For me, winning is getting out of casino or gambling site with good amount of money won. If people knew that usually in our country, they ask for "balato".
2202  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is playing casino games online a good idea? on: April 19, 2019, 02:45:15 PM
There are a lot of people who are playing casino on online so it is difficult to say either it is good or bad. Those people who plays thinks good that's why they play and those people who thinks bad they don't play on here.

It is good if you are thinking efficiently. Gambling sites has their own ways of making their customers comfortable. From bonuses to quick withdrawals, for me it is a good thing since even if you are in work, you will be able to look at your automatic rolls or bets on some games. It is more efficient and as a person who likes technology, I am just abusing what I can use it to.
2203  Economy / Economics / Re: Investing in Bitcoin in 2019? on: April 19, 2019, 02:14:08 PM
The bottom was around $3200 last 3 months, which I consider not far from the present $5200. This will still be qualified a good buy for any trader or investor. The coin is still heading beyond $20000,at that price 2017/2018 investors will just be breaking even and heading towards profit.

It was bottom and quite sure at that time also that this is near bottom and market would be bouncing back only matter was time and see today it is 2000$ rise in just one quarter or so on 1 btc. So people would have easily made so much money in this time frame.


And yet a lot of them sold their bitcoin when the price of it is getting lower and lower. They did not keep their patience intact the reason they lost a lot of money from selling it at a low price. If they hold it, the price of it will increase and they don't need to buy their Bitcoin at $5000. I think the price will continue to rise until the end of the year, breaking the ATH might be a possibility.
2204  Economy / Economics / Re: The market is looking healthy and greener all over again on: April 19, 2019, 01:47:23 PM
it is absolutely right now that the market has started to increase continuously so that it is often green, and now there are also many new investors and traders coming in to look for the profits they want because now is a good time to buy coins

If they believe in Bitcoin in the past, they will not be having any problem buying right now. A lot of investors sold their Bitcoin in the past because maybe they think that it will fall more than $3K, now it is already at $5K and if they bought at the price in the last months, they can already have a $1K+ profit. If they are patient that is just easy.

Although a little luck is there poker game is not entirely based on luck, you can use some strategies, if you have been playing for a long time and have gain some valuable experience.

I totally agree on this. There are some that players or gamblers are relying on luck but most of the time, it is experience and skill. Some people are making a debate about this and I think it is not 100% a chance but skill is also essential for a poker player. Most of the games I see is really based on them.
2206  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Gambling addiction a disease? on: April 19, 2019, 05:48:47 AM
I cannot control my emotions in gambling games many times, and I feel that it is very hard without practicing every day. But I believe that one day, I will be able to control the emotions so I can play gambling without having emotion inside the games. I already read that if we can control emotion, we could enjoy the game and having fun playing the game.
Maybe it is a disease for some people, but I won't say that it is a disease, and for sure, gambling will make your life ruin and lose everything you have.
Gambling is bad for you, but since you are willing to learn on how to control your emotion, just a friendly advise, don't gamble with a huge amount of money.

If you can afford it, then why not right? I mean there are a lot of gambler, rich gamblers that also won a lot of money already. It is not a problem for people if you can afford it. Though even if you can afford it, doesn't mean that you will abuse that.

One cannot make any money from gambling except if they are very lucky.
Its possible but you have to beat the house advantage somehow long term, which would be via skill with poker or sports betting.    Otherwise its mostly about luck but that can mean a good luck win also

Yeah, there are a lot of games and most of them usually focus on luck though there are luck-based and skill based and also some that requires knowledge and analytic skills. I can't resist gambling though, you know, betting on some teams is fun and you watch them everyday supportting amd rooting for them.
2208  Economy / Economics / Re: The market is looking healthy and greener all over again on: April 18, 2019, 10:16:55 PM
Leason should be learn here that we should not easily to celebrate and make some great conclusion right away if the market become green because we don't know if that is just a big whales trap. Now Bitcoin is struggling to hit $4,000 and looks like it will fall down $3,000 which is i hope it will not as we have waited and suffered for so long of this bearish trend.
I am so happy when the price of Bitcoin returns to green, this indicates that enthusiasm for Bitcoin is still very high, and this is very good if we have bought Bitcoin at a price of $ 4000, and now the price has increased by $ 5200, this is very profitable.

What do you mean by that? Doesn't mean that the price of Bitcoin is in it's red zone doesn't mean its enthusiasm for Bitcoin is not high. It is still high, we just need to wait and for those who wait and did not panic and sold their BTCs, it is the time for the reward. Patience is a good thimg especially for investors.
2209  Economy / Economics / Re: There's nothing more happier than seeing your bitcoin price going up! on: April 18, 2019, 09:13:34 PM
Yes, it is always a happy movement for every crypto investor when they see that Bitcoin price is rising because it will give a big boost in moral.

Not at all. How can you say thay it is a good or happy thing for investors? The price of Bitcoin is in a good movement but how about the other crypto currencies they've invested in? Even if the price is up, other prices are still in the red zone so I think we can say that it is a good thing for Bitcoin investors, which is most of us still, there are a lot of investors hoping that other altcoins will be the same.
2210  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Bitcoin Beat Banks? on: April 18, 2019, 01:17:49 PM
I dont think of any reasons why we are comparing banks to crypto since they are both have diffrrent functions. Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency and banks are institutions that manages a currency. They are both different and can be used at the same time. No one should ever left behind.

Well, there is a reason why it is compared. You see, the first time I met a guy that knew about Bitcoin he told me that you can achieve transaction freedom with it since you can use it wherever you want as long as you that person accepts Bitcoin. It is a decentralized crypto currency and no government will track your transactions. Also, Bitcoin can be stored by yourself without the help of the bank. So I think that is the reason why people compare these two. I am not on the side of any of them since they are both useful.
2211  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin has no practical use and could be damaging to the economy! on: April 18, 2019, 12:28:29 PM
I couldn't see any damages result to our economy. Bitcoin has nothing to do with the broken economy of a country. And unlike their comment about btc, it is very much useful nowadays. People are not yet familiar with the changes given by this advanced technology. But time will come that   they will realized that bitcoin will be a great help to the economy and

In my opinion, Bitcoin will never affect or have an effect on a country's economy. I mean Bitcoin is circulating more than 10 years now and I still don't read any articles or sites that say Bitcoin is making damage on a country's economy. It did help a lot of people in the past when the price of it so high. I am not saying that it helped all of them but I know most of them got the profit they want to have.
2212  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: China refuses mining? on: April 18, 2019, 11:51:43 AM
I think that it will greatly affect the price in the market, but I am sure and believe that China will not do anything like that which leaves the cryptocurrency currency.

It already happened since this ban is not new anymore. There are problems in mining Bitcoin in their country the reason they banned it in their country but that doesn't mean they will not be able to use Bitcoin in transacting to other countries. They will still be able to use Bitcoin but not inside their country because we all know it is banned there.
2213  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling - A Game of Luck or Strategy on: April 14, 2019, 01:58:35 PM
Gambling is a game of luck and many gamblers has claimed to have one or two strategies of winning.  I doubt that because it is a game between you and the house and I believe that it is through luck that you can win over the house in any gambling setting.

Well, if you are talking about Gambling generally, I guess you are wrong. Luck is needed in gambling, yes, no doubt about that but there are games that just needs knowledge and skill as there are what they call, skill-based games. Gambling don't really deal with luck, it deals with the risk you are taking.
2214  Other / Off-topic / Re: Is it possible for us to hack some gambling sites? on: April 14, 2019, 10:38:06 AM
I think that most of us here don't have enough knowledge and expertise to hack the gambling sites. If it were so easy, many of us here would have done so. Only experts can do it.

Yes, hacking is an art which cannot be done by everyone. You need to be extra clever and genius in order to become a hacker.  But if you have such skills, then it is better to apply these skills in positive manner and do not think about hacking or other illegal means to obtain data or money.

Well, if you can hack a computer or a site with ease, that means you have a wide knowledge about computers and the internet including websites and other things. We can say that most of these hackers are already an expert when it comes to computers. I can say that since not all of them are using their own codes or scrypts to hack. I guess some gambling sites has their own hackers on their side to develop and improve their security. It is still possible to hack a gambling site since let's be honest, even if you make a wall that can't be passed through quickly, they will still find ways to go in.
2215  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does gambling sites needs to be a mobile friendly or not? on: April 13, 2019, 11:53:32 PM
It comes down to the price of implementation. If they were mobile friendly it would give them some additional recognition and profits but how much would it cost to add a mobile version of the site. How much time would it take to earn back the money spent on that mobile version? If they aren't doing it it's probably not worth it. They are running businesses so they know how to calculate this and what's best for them.

But they should also consider how will their costumers look or see it. If you are being considerable about the price of the development of your, consider the most improtant part of it, the costumers. If you will not be considering their wants, they will not be going or visiting your site.
2216  Economy / Economics / Re: Does Pump is Coming on: April 13, 2019, 10:44:28 PM
Considering that the bull run will happen sooner or later, then with confidence we can say that everything that is happening now is preparation for it, and we must be well prepared and not allow the same mistakes.

Well I am prepared for a long time now. It's been a year since we've seen this price change and investors should've really took the advantage of that long price dump. I wonder how high will be the price be, this is still not the pump though but slowly, we can see the price being stable at $5K.
2217  Economy / Economics / Re: There's nothing more happier than seeing your bitcoin price going up! on: April 13, 2019, 09:59:07 PM
yeah true Smiley. actuaaly i prefer when bitcoin price is stable and altcoins go up. that way i can increase my portfolio balance better by cryptocurrency trading. anyway we miss price raises  Cheesy

I do miss Bitcoin making these movements but I also love the price dump. Price dumps is where we usually have a chance to reinvesr again on crypto currencies. I am not that rich but I do want to gain other investments other than Bitcoin. That when the price increase happens, I already have a good amount to be traded.
2218  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Season on: April 13, 2019, 01:11:38 PM
Really rooting for Milwaukee Bucks this season.

They might be able to have that match against their bracket and in the finals. In west, I don't think GSW will be able to win now. Not just because I am not a fan anymore but because they are also having internal issues with the team. I saw Giannis as a great player ever since last season and I guess it is the best time to support him.
From the east, Giannis still needed to surpass Raptors, Sixers and Celtics, those teams are also waiting for their respective time to be at the finals, knowing how they can adjust since it's already the playoffs and all the team will surely reviews their lapses and how they can adjust to improve and advance to the next rounds, it will again test Giannis capabilities to move forward and prove himself.

It's going to be a big test for Giannis indeed.

The team you mentioned is very tough to overcome that's why if Giannis goes to the finals it will be a big accomplished already. They are the top seed, no doubt, but when play off comes, teams always put their game one notch so it will be a difficult road for team. So let's see if Giannis will not choke and show everyone why he is the future face of the NBA.

He is not the choker type of a player.
Besides, he got Middleton and Bledsoe on his side. Add up the three point ahooting of Lopez now which had been very high since his addition to the Bucks.

Their coach looks like he got his cards for all the strong team in the East. But first they must focus on their first round.
His rivalry with Griffin will be tested. Both have buffed body that could penetrate and also their center Drummond is a beast.

I think Giannis and his teamates already knew this, Playoffs is where their opponents will play their best and they should be ready, not only Giannis but also his team and his coach. I think Giannis will not choke here, I am not a fan of Milwaukee but I like how Giannis is playing right now. I am rooting for Denver Nuggets.
2219  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Gambling addiction a disease? on: April 13, 2019, 11:19:45 AM
-snip- It is the uncontrollable urge of a person to gamble.
That's actually more complicated than that or rather something completely different.
Not just my opinion, compulsive gambling is an uncontrollable, irrational urge of a person to LOOSE.
It is the emotion associated with loosing, that hooks people and turn them in to mindless gamble-zombies.
Winning realises chemicals few times weaker than the opposite, also brain "knows" the cortisol much better, handles it in much more effective fashion and here is why;
The effects of cortisol are mostly sugar production and retention, our body loves sugar, because its the simplest power source, if particular emotion is causing extra sugar production, brain will try to stick to it, at all costs.
Ergo loosing is actually sweet. Sugar addiction is not only disorder, IMO it can be called a disease.     

I agree with that. But I guess it is still connected to it. I mean not all of the gamblers are losing, they are not addicted to gambling because they are running after their losses but they are chasing to win more money. Don't get me wrong, I know that there are a lot of gamblers that lose their money but what I am saying is that there are gamblers that usually don't.
2220  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Bitcoin Beat Banks? on: April 12, 2019, 11:45:58 PM
There are two you possibilities available in this situation Oneness banks will accept the Bitcoin and make it as transaction and payment and the other way is they don't want to take it as a legal payment method definitely one thing will happen in the future.

I don't think banks will be accepting them but the government do. The governments are the one making the decision for the regulations and not the banks. Obviously, these two are happening all over the world right now,  Bitcoin being banned and being regulated. I banks will be using it but not the currency directly, it is the technology. Block chain is a great technology and I know they will be developing a system the same as that.
