2321  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think you are a gambling expert? on: September 30, 2017, 10:10:58 AM
There have been a few times when I *thought* I was a gambling expert. It didn't take long for me to learn I wasn't as big of an expert as I had thought.  Cheesy  

Making big plays and winning a lot of money may also not be the most defining aspect of being an expert. Big wins could be correlated with big losses. Consistent wins could be more preferable.

when mentioning the word 'gambling expert' has been determined to reach the expert stage it is very difficult
so much we need to pass,
we must understand the various forms of gambling.
and we must have experienced great losses
so that we understand and know how the home edge system takes advantage
and at that stage we are tested in order to remain calm in a variety of gambling situations that may happen anytime

The term expert in gambling isn't so clear. At what conditions someone can be called as an expert? It will vary from person to person. Most people will refer to the end result of gambling activities to gain an expert level. Therefore, a person who able to win most of his games will be called expert. But the other people will refer to someone who able to control his emotion as an expert. I mean, people who able to avoid bad impact to their life caused by gambling habit can be considered as an expert in the world of gambling.
2322  Economy / Gambling / Re: Sportsbet.io suddenly not available my jurisdiction logged in 1000 times before on: September 30, 2017, 02:32:31 AM

What is suddenly blocking me from accessing this site?

It loads the site and I can see my balance, but the site is now putting up a message that I cannot access sportsbet.io from my jurisdiction...

Also, how is it telling my jurisdiction?  From my IP?  

What can I do to get around this?


I used to play on sportsbet through my direct connection and I can't get the full market from some events especially from soccer's games. That problem's gone when I use vpn. So my conclusion is, it is better to use vpn instead of our direct connection when we want to play at this site.
2323  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: September 29, 2017, 09:14:40 AM
There is a big match Chelsea vs Manchester City, both teams are just play on champions league and both teams also very beast so far. I predict this match will have more than 3 goals, both teams to score is a good bet though. If i must pick a team to win, i will choose Chelsea for this match.

Chelsea home's performances aren't perfect this season. From 3 home's games they win only once and they just came back from Spain for UCL game. Machester City has the better chance to win today's game or at least make a single point from this game.
2324  Economy / Gambling / Re: Primedice | Creators of Dicing 🎲 | Most Popular & Trusted | 109 BTC Jackpot! on: September 29, 2017, 02:35:34 AM
The jackpot would of been very easy to hit if you needed to roll 77.77 once OR if there was no min bet requirement. But with the min bet requirement I am pretty sure 99% of the currents bets don't qualify since most people are on primedice betting 1 or 10 Sats or so.

Its a nice requirement but with a win every 100,000,000 rolls and with the min bet amount, I don't see this being a simple jackpot to win. There are others out there which are more fair.

110 BTC is a very good amount of money and for sure they make the requirements are so hard to meet. Unlike at other sites where we can see people hit jackpot almost in daily basis, this will need time to see the lucky guy.

The chance to lose all of our money when investing on bitcoin ( buy and hold it ) will be so low. It could happen but for sure it will need very long time to face such bad situation. While at gambling, we can lose all of our money in no time. That's why bitcoin investment isn't gambling according to my own thought.
2326  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Giving up gambling is not easy on: September 28, 2017, 04:31:07 PM
The only reason you can't give up gambling so easily because it has been part of your life or part of your daily activities. It's hard to give up too when you need to recover your loses but this is a mistake recovering loses will lead to another loses if you are not playing good. If you want to give up it then you must act on it.

True, if gambling becomes our daily routine which means our mind will lead us to do it again and again. We may stop it gradually if we found something more fun than gambling with one condition, we have to spend most our free time on that new thing.

Hello folks.

Suggestion :

Have a notification when somebody mentioned you in chat, there are times that chatters miss a response to them on someone called them. However, to avoid others using this option to annoy others, an option to enable or disable this function.

That can be gained by changing the font color of the users that being stated on the chat box. Red will be good color to be used since it will stand out. Btw, nice suggestion!
2328  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is ICO regulation good or bad? on: September 28, 2017, 04:45:18 AM
More and more countries are planning to regulate ICOs. China, Canada, Russia,... I think this in an development nobody can stop. Do you think it is good or bad that ICOs will be more regulated in the near future? What positive and negative influences will it probably have?

I think there will be more investors like professional managed funds or even retirement funds which will invest into ICOs. The prices for ICOs will then become even more expensive and make it more difficult to make profits for small investors.

Regulating ICO would be very good in my opinion. Investors will get the assurance that they will not be deceived in the future. And of course, investors who are not currently interested in ICO's will rethink.
2329  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Superstition on: September 27, 2017, 11:12:29 PM
True, a lot of people are very superstitous, sometimes I am also superstitous but I didn't apply that much especially in gambling because gambling is more on luck.
Isn't that the reason why you are being superstitious? To become luckier and believe that you can really be special in gambling and hopefully you could really win more and probably earn more and stop before you get greedy.
Nope, I know that being lucky is not always with us. But gambling is really more on luck. Even if you have already a gambling skills you will never tell that you can win all the time of your game right? We all not know when we were going to win but we still playing it because there is sometimes we think that maybe we can win in our next game which is we are still thinking of our luck.
superstition would always there as an extra entertainment in gambling , especially for those people who believe in a lot of myths and sometimes lazy to think realistics. gambling indeed about looking for the luck and do something impossible to win certain amount of money. unfortunately things never go as planned and expected in gambling because its uncertainty. superstitions has nothing to do with gambling realistically.
Exactly, we gamble to have fun and we can do anything even if others judge us that we will not gonna with if not realistic.
The satisfaction is the most important, when you have fun gambling you'll definitely gonna forget your loses and you won't get a negative results. Most of us are gambling basing on our luck and since there is no exact method to attract luck we tried different things just to have it and win the game.

In the process of looking for luck, some people believe in superstitions. It's just a way some people pick to make the game more entertained. And for sure people will have different ways on how to get excited during the game.
2330  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can maths help you win in gambling ? on: September 27, 2017, 10:09:57 PM
I just read one article that's about math can help you win at roulette game then i want ask with you all, did you believe math can affect to gambling games? i'm not expert in math so i don't know


this is the article that i readed.
http://theconversation.com/can-maths-help-you-win-at-roulette-69440

I preferably going to believe what Albert Einstein's said about winning a roulette. Let me skip this game, I have read a fact article that there was a math teacher that managed to win the lottery for four times. If you are going to study on how the process of the gambling game you are playing. It can help you to give some idea but it will never give you a guarantee that you'll win.

Agreed! Math can give us an idea on how to play the game. It can help us to treat our game as well. If for example, someone able to win at gambling by using math, I bet he/she can't do it at everytime. Gambling will always depend on luck no matter what method we use.
2331  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why do you invest in ICOs? on: September 27, 2017, 04:51:07 AM
I invest in ICO because the world is rule by idea. Old idea has already been max out in terms of their potential. If we are going to enjoy better living we must do away with the old and embrace the new.

But not all good ideas will be done by honest people. The chance to lose your money with ICO is higher since there is no way to protect investors money. It's based on trust only!
2332  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Europa League/Champions League Lounge on: September 27, 2017, 02:26:00 AM
So sad Monaco had to lose their game against FC Porto. Their good performance at Ligue 1 didn't continue to this UCL group stage. And the worse part is, they lost by 3 goals and unable to make even a single goal.
2333  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ICO discussion on: September 26, 2017, 09:20:44 PM
I see ICO appear around 30 in 1 day, but I see no promising projects yet
They like to see ICO where to raise money, whereas ICO has a heavy responsibility.
I am very concerned about this condition

Due to the fact that making an ICO is relatively easy, this give some bad guys ( scammers ) an opportunity to carry out their actions. That's why, lately we can see a lot of ICOs that being handled unprofessionally.

It doesn't work on my side. I got a blank page after loading waveswallet.io. I use chrome, firefox and opera. All with the same result. I tried it at private mode too and nothing changed. Is there any solution for this problem?

Thanks!

Edit :

Airdrop received in about 2 min from sending pm, thank you.

However I believe you could have mentioned somewhere in ANN that if somebody has waves address he can just send you that address in PM. Or is there some other reason why we have to go trough steps in ANN?

I give it a try! Thanks
2335  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do you even gamble? on: September 26, 2017, 10:07:17 AM
The idea of taking home the jackpot is very attractive to me. I just give it a try and I don't gamble like an addicted casino player. It's a type of game where you bet a small amount and you could win 10x or 50x by picking a color. I really like those types of games because it gets me excited.

It's attractive but the sad reality of it is that it's hard to achieve this type of goal in gambling. Addiction starts there with that "try" I admit that I also think that way before because there's a lot of experience I had in gambling. Those examples from my experiences are really attracting because seeing people hitting jackpot makes you think that it is also possible to happen to you once you gamble and pursue it.

The possibility to win 10x, 50x or even more, which being offered by gambling often tickles the minds of some people to try it out. People wants a lot of money the easy way. And if we think it deeper, such a thing does not exist in this world, and if it exist, it will happen very rare.
2336  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Problem Gamblers here who are in Debt ? on: September 26, 2017, 01:39:02 AM
If we are depressed by debt, maybe we can do a smart little cunning way. Let's borrow money from friends, siblings or anyone else to pay off your old debts. Maybe you still have a debt but at least you have more time to pay.
This is no solution to any debts we are just building more debts for yourself if you want to clear a debt you need to sell of your assets or find a better job taking another loan to pay a previous debt will keep on increasing and finally you will have no option but to quit your life or go to the jail

Maybe he's talking about borrowing from friends without interest and that way you can easily offset your old debts but create a new one which you'd have a longer time to pay. That's my understanding of what he said.

Paying a loan with another loans (even though with no interest at all ) won't help us by the way. We should make money through hard work to know how hard to get money is. Therefore, it will give us a valuable lesson. In the hope, next time we won't go to the same hole again.
2337  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Play with your profit or not? on: September 25, 2017, 08:58:49 PM
I rarely gamble with profit, just a glance. If wins, i will cashout everything and leave nothing behind. When i want to gamble again, i will make a deposit back.

That's a good decision! Cashout the money as soon as possible before our greedy feeling comes. But, what if you lost the game? Will you deposit again to chase it or just stop the game to come back again the other day?
2338  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can gambling help you with your life? on: September 25, 2017, 08:16:43 PM
Gambling has given pleasure for me when I win a much money, but when I lose and lose constantly, i would be frustrated , it is not make me more happy, so maybe i will play gambling with low betting, so when I lose, i'm not sad and sorry for not losing a lot
What are you saying you are happy not make me happy if you lose in gambling you will always be sad i haven't found anyone who has been happy about it loss unless he got his funds for free. Even if you play with a small bankroll you will still lose it might not make you sad but when you continuously play with small bankrolls your loss will increase

I guess the fun seeking gamblers will be happy with a loss so to doesn't because they claim to derive the happiness from the mere fact of gambling than making profit.

Normally, gamblers will be happy when they won/got profit from their actions and will be unhappy when lost some money. But for the fun seeker gamblers, even though they unhappy caused by their lost, they won't regret it. They can afford to lose the money and it won't affect their life.
2339  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Worst mistake in gambling on: September 25, 2017, 06:28:20 AM
My mistake in gambling is repeated everytime gamble only one that's, greedy. When i have made a profit, i always feel less. So want a bigger win.

I can relate to this one. Once I won, I feel that I wanted to have more because I did win anyway so there is a possibility I would win again and again not noticing that my funds is getting lower and lower. Once I have this greediness, it feels that I don't want to stop even if I am already in losing streaks because just one win and I can get back all my losses but it did not come. I did not win and lose my funds and that is my worst mistake in gambling. Cannot control my self and become greedy at times.

When we're on winning conditions, we tend to ignore the fact that we can lose all of our balance in no time. Building an attitude to always be aware of the bad possibilities and always afraid to try something beyond our means will help a little in controlling the greed in our souls. Greedy is always bad for everything, no exception with gambling!
2340  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Worst mistake in gambling on: September 24, 2017, 07:20:33 PM
The worst mistake of any gambler is to not have a money management plan when they start gambling. Gambling in any form affects your emotions, and when emotions kicks in, decision making and rational thinking becomes clouded. Before you start to gamble, a good plan is Having an account dedicated for gambling. you only put money in that account that you can afford to loose. Hence, when the innevitable losing streak comes, having a zero balance on that account will prevent you from making bad decisions and going broke.

To anticipate further lose, such method will work for some people. There are some other people who will deposit again to chase their lose because even though they already had a money management, their emotions are more powerful and tend to ignore their initial planning. Money management is good but it'll be better if we can combine it with self control.
