I am myself is not a gambling expert and you cannot become an expert with just being successful one time and in gambling it's very hard to be successful knowing that the risk is really high and the chances of really getting the big jackpots are hard. I think there are a lot of gambling experts that have experiences that could benefit users especially the new ones with their knowledge. I would like to have a somewhat Mentor when I gamble and it's fun when it's in a land-based Casino.

If you are talking about jackpot games there's nobody that can be an expert in that, since it's all random.

To me a gambling expert is someone who either plays card/dice games or does a lot of sportsbetting. Some luck involved but not as much as the random games Cheesy.
Yeaaa it is frequently called as an expert when you are a sportsbettor or a poker player.
Never heard before there is a dice expert/professional dice player lol , you guys might want become the first one? Be my guest ...
An expert itself usually recognized by other people , not claim it by yourself.
Right. There is some form of gambling that requires you to be an expert. However, even in the process of being an expert in analyzing the game you are betting on, a little bit of luck is still always needed. No one can see the future and as long as we keep expecting a favorable outcome for our bet, then we just have to rely on our luck doing the major part at the end.
Luck will always needed in no matter what game , that's why even an expert cannot completely rely on the skill.
Recognizing yourself as an expert gives you a confidence , that's good and nothing wrong.
Just becareful when it turn overconfident , you might get in trouble with that.

Gamble away moneys that isnt yours? bad idea..
Gambling should be for fun purposes only Cheesy
This is the kind of gamblers that I pity the most. Even after losing their own wealth, they don't understand one simple fact about gambling that it can ruin life. Trying to recover the loss with the same game with someone's money is like adding further fuel to the fire. Gambling itself is fuel into the fire when gambler is an unstable person financially.
Gambling will never solve any problem , especially a money problem involve debts.
You will ony make everything ruined more than what it was , it is so risky and even more to harmful.
So stay away from gambling when you think you cannot make a plan and obey on it later.
243  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Worst mistake in gambling on: November 27, 2017, 10:30:31 PM
I mean mostly , people frequently losing control when it comes to gambling .
So there is big chance for anyone who involve in gambling could do that mistake , trying to recover from a deep lost but failed.
I won't surprised if someone share their experience about how chasing losses in gambling always be the biggest regret, i have heard a lot of stories like that.
That is the reason why I say it is good to face your nightmares with open eyes instead of daydreaming. This is what is wrong with us, human beings that we expect a lot from our lives. We think life is too easy but with time we realize reality it is opposite to our imagination.

For me, gambling itself is a very big mistake but what you have mentioned is actually the worst mistake in gambling world.
Doesn't matter if you or anyone else who consider gambling itself as a mistake or not actually.
The point here is that about how you make a bad decision in gambling and it is causing a chaos / you in trouble.
Then people agree that to chase your loses is the most deadly action that could make situation become worse and worse , especially your financial situation.
244  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To Gamble or To Invest? on: November 27, 2017, 04:18:41 PM
Gambling is good too if you want to profit big amount at once go and play but there is also possibilities that you will lose it. But investment is about trustingyour money to someone, just like that. Its like giving your money about a year and wait until its going to profit.

Gambling is not good if you want profit and you are the one to gamble. Profit in gambling is also good but it's very unstable in a way that you'll be streak in deficit. It's also hard to recover in gambling, that's why if you want to take a risk but you are comfortable that you can recover on it later on, go with legit investments.
It is always be a problem when people come to a casino and want to make money steady.
Then that moment you might have to think about trading has bigger chance to make the mission completed successfully.
Noone can deny the fact that gambling isn't profitable for the long term.


Well i think investing in a  casino is better than playing against the house and so if you get the chance to invest in bitcoin casino then you should go ahead unless you have a working strategy that can beat the house  and that is the only time i will advice you to gamble instead.
I don't know if there is a lot of place to invest small amount of money on a casino.
Also it won't worth when you put small amount , investment should be done in the long term with a little bit large amount of money.
While gambling could be done with small amount but have big multiplier , of course considering the risk , investment is always better.
245  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you see trading as fun and games? on: November 27, 2017, 03:54:21 PM
actually, I see trading as an opportunity to achieve more profit than before. well, but there are some people who think like that. In fact, I also think that way when I first see trading.
Yeaaa the fun factor only comes when you are trying to place a random buy or sell position.
In hope to get a luck without doing any analysis , just do place there like that.
Other than that trading always give you more tension to become a serious person rather than treat it completely for fun.
246  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: November 27, 2017, 03:36:40 PM
I don't think gambling is wrong but it is not beneficial at all. I tried gambling before using Bitcoin and I don't know if I'm just unlucky or what but I don't seem to win ever so to me or to my point of view it is not beneficial at all.
I think its not wrong, everything will becomes wrong only if it compromise other important things like time for family, obligations and commitment. But playing gambling with limitations and just for fun and pastimes is really not wrong.

Many new gamblers start with the same mentality that they want to gamble only for fun but if they like any of these games then they will start playing these games every day. Even though you spend small amount every day then over the time you will spend a lot of money on these which is not good if your earnings are not that high. That's why if you find some other activities to pass your time then it will be good. Gambling should be an occasional activity.
Actually depends on how people around and your environment , are they mostly hate any form of gambling?
If they do, it is hard to say that gambling is not wrong , you might can do whatever you want , but think about how people around you react on it?
So if you feel fine , just gamble without have to feel guilty and recognize gambling as a normal thing not a wrong thing.

No it is not like that because what matter is what you feel. If you feel that it is not wrong then you should go ahead with it however it is better not to gamble with your money because you might need it for some more important thing. Also you cant win money when you gamble so there is no point to that and it is better if you play for fun
Then you are so naive did not think about what other people feel on what you do.
I do care about that but well if you did not give a f*ck about them and just moving forward as you wish , go ahead.
Always think about how harmful your activity in gambling and it could be a reference , i guess.
247  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to play gambling in a smart way? on: November 27, 2017, 03:16:02 PM
You could actually be smart at gambling when you win a lot of money then once there is point where you lost twice don't play it once more, make sure the money that your money was doubled then you lose little by little stop playing it so you won't lose all the money that you won throughout the day of gambling

No point of winning a lot of money if you don't play smart. It's not the right way of calling gambling as smart way just because you win a lot of money. You can't be smart just because of winning, it's either luck or you are just good at that game. How can you be smart if you can't save some when you are on the time of winning? or you don't know what to do and take care of those winnings?
I don't know if that smart way to gamble even exist , it is just the matter how people recognize your work.
I mean when you gamble in the long run and successfully make it profitable some people says that you have done it in smart way.
But also there is a group of people who just think about how dumb you are thinking about make a living through gambling.
248  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What keeps you coming back??? on: November 26, 2017, 04:33:38 PM
For me maybe your self are looking for it again so youre still coming back to do it and then when you say i'll stop then one day youre looking for it again so dont say if you cant do.

It is not like that because everyone is coming back because they want to have a taste of winning some money. When you win some money, it wont be enough until you are satisfied with the high amount. If it is just a small amount then I dont think you are guaranteed not to come back. You are going to comeback unless you win big amount
And how much should you play and lose, so that once you are lucky and that you win good money? Many do not return, because they do not go anywhere. That's just left with nothing.
It is not about when actually you could feel enough and satisfied.
As it is a human nature to become greed , you come back to gamble repeatedly because nothing else but want more money if you win previously.
Or people cannot accept any kind losses and start become addicted because of that reason.
249  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Must Crash - $7500 Is The Peak on: November 24, 2017, 04:01:00 AM
Maybe you have your own differences with bitcoin going up above $8k, but bitcoin doesn't seem bothered, the price of bitcoin is going high and reaching to $8k+ by the end of the month cause $7.5k has been surpassed.
Since bitcoin price at below $10 , $100 , $1,000 people says same thing about how bitcoin price should get dropped.
But the reality says different , it keeps growing uncontrolled until today there is no other strong reason why the market must crash.
We are on superb confidence , heading to the next level market price.
250  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What is the best coin to buy today? on: November 24, 2017, 02:59:59 AM
What is the best coin to buy today?  So many good coins.. sometimes I have hard time thinking what's the best coin to buy.

Even most altcoins now are dumping the price value it is still good to buy Waves, Eth, Maid, Rlc, Bay, And Xem then hold em in a long term around 6 months something like that.
I will go for xlm and waves for short term like for the next few weeks or so.
Considering bitcoin is on stuck , trader frustated and looking for other option to play with the market , so far waves and xlm have got my attention.
Go buy it now and look in the next couple of weeks , keep monitoring it all to make sure you won't get hurt.

I wonder what bitcoin should do. Last week was $7,000. Today is $8,200. Any reason you say that bitcoin is stuck?
I mean it stuck for a while such as from $7,900 to 8,100 or so after the jump.
Those people with capital lower than $10,000 won't get enough profit , then they are looking for alternative waiting bitcoin move not just for 1% or 3% daily.
That's what makes altcoin mostly go up , some people decide to leave bitcoin for a moment and altcoins such as stellar lumens get pumped. I choose that one
251  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How much capital to you day trade with? on: November 24, 2017, 02:51:36 AM
Small and big capital is relative to the investor. Personally, Ive lost a lot to day trading so I no longer do it and I advice against it. It can be stressful and and drains one of energy, I just buy and hold, it seems like a better strategy to me. If you must trade, go in small.
Yeaaa become a day trader really cost you a lot of time and energy , you have to watch the market every single minute.
Otherwise you will miss the golden opportunity making money in short period safely.
Doesn't matter about the capital size , the only matter is to make your trading produce you a steady income.
252  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin broke 8000 USD. how far it will go? on: November 23, 2017, 05:32:25 PM
John McAfee said he would eat his dic on National TV if BTC/BCH isn't 500k in three years( back in July)and was taking all Bet's against him..look it up on twitter. Grin I think he's nuts..but he claims to have some voodoo math thing that is never wrong..so idk
Yeaa he talking too much since getting involved with several bitcoin project .
Actually when people feel need to have bitcoin in the future , bitcoin value could go up unlimited , especially if there is a mass adoption.
Bitcoin always shows a good growth sign year after year , and this year was a golden year! Let's close 2017 with a sweet skyrocketing price!
253  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum All Time High on: November 23, 2017, 05:20:32 PM
your poll says ATH. if you have USD ATH then it has already reached with this pump. but if you have the BTC ATH which was 0.15BTC then i seriously doubt that ethereum can see that kind of price at all. there currently are a lot of issues with it and not to mention the 96 million coins supply!

there currently is a subtle ethereum pump going on which seems to have started as soon as bitcoin price became stable. i think it can continue a short while longer before it pops.
Everytime bitcoin price move ethereum nowadays always try adjusting itself to around $300-$400 .
If then ethereum back to the previous ATH at 0.15 bitcoin , it will has value around $1,200 or so which i personally think it won't happened in the near future.
Bitcoin value stuck now for a while so people looking for other business in altcoins such as ethereum and even doge it woke up now.
254  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Worst mistake in gambling on: November 23, 2017, 05:05:53 PM
as a gambler my worst mistake i ever made before was to play poker and because i kept on winning i was in condition to play hard for as i remembered i played for over 24 hours and in the end i went home with an empty pocket and a loan from one of the financer in casino.  Sad

Playing for 24 hours straight? Are you even in the right way of thinking or you are totally out of your mind. Playing for that long will be making you lose what you had collected for the earlier time you gambled with poker. Don't do this, it's totally a disaster and a worst mistake.

I have no doubt he is addicted gambler, his believe like he has spend his straightforward 24 hours to play gambling, and in the end his hand empty. He seem like addicted gamble, may be he has learn lesson from his worst mistake. But i really feel bad for him. That's why we always discuss that always control on yourself and don't play gambling continuously, because in the end you find nothing.   
I think anyone have experienced that kind mistake , so should we call ourselves as a gambling addict?
You get a crazy winning streaks , you think it will remain like that but when you continue playing things turned around.
Wasn't really a worst mistake , it is normal mistake that anyone have done it.

I don't think that every gamble have experience that kind of mistake. Normally you will see this worst mistake do it only addicted gamblers.
Have you play gambling for 24 hours and in the end you borrow money to recover your lose?
I have spend 3 years in gambling but i never did this worst mistake, even i got lose and lose most of time, but still i know how to manage and control myself.
I mean mostly , people frequently losing control when it comes to gambling .
So there is big chance for anyone who involve in gambling could do that mistake , trying to recover from a deep lost but failed.
I won't surprised if someone share their experience about how chasing losses in gambling always be the biggest regret, i have heard a lot of stories like that.
255  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Patience and Holding on: November 22, 2017, 08:40:37 AM
Patience and Holding should be done seriously otherwise you will not get maximum results. Sometimes traders can not wait so what they holding assets that will be sold as soon as possible because only facing little problem and also get panic.

Due to panic Selling, many failed to get the additional dollar for holding. If you are a trader as like me,just hold and be patience. In a week I had get 200$ profit for my holding. Since the price start to raise very fast,it may reach 9000$ in this month end if so I will get some more dollar as a profit. Holding is a key to success in bitcoin trading.
Yeaa when it comes to bitcoin hold it as long as possible is the best choice.
But when you want to trade it in daily basis you need more than just hold it and the key here is a patience.
Keep analyzing as not always when the price get dropped it will get recovered soon.

257  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What would you do with your winnings? on: November 22, 2017, 07:40:30 AM
When ever I win part of it keep it for my expenses and part of it goes for party and rest of whole money I use to play again and again. I believe most of the gambler do same like me. May be I am wrong. But I never cross the limit of my budget planned for gambling. Still under control only.
Yeaa mostly just spend the money that time to gamble again until they back to zero.
If you win huge amount in bitcoin it is always worth to hold it on for long term investment .
And take a little amount only for your daily expense , after your winning better to quit and don't come back , you will feel your winning last forever!
258  Other / Archival / Re: Which one is more risky? Skill-based gambling or trading? on: November 22, 2017, 06:25:00 AM
I do not think that both have equal risk. I think that gambling is more risky than trading. In fact in gambling we totally depending on our luck, while in trading it is necessary that we must have some trading experience, we must also have good trading skill, which are too much necessary for expecting profit from bitcoin investment and trading. Therefore we can say that both do not have the same amount of risk.
I think that both of them do not have equal amount of risk. Skill based gambling is something still unknown to me.
I mean that how could one claim the use of his skills in gambling even if the entire thing depends upon the luck of the person.

No amount of skill can help you to win the bet indeed. On the other hand risk in trading gets reduced with the passage of time after experience and some techniques to set the deal and buying of shares is understood wisely. So, it is better to opt for trading.

Poker is skill based. To a point. There is an element if luck in everything we do in life but poker gives you ways to swing things to your favour and of course the other players can drop this too so you need to worry about them and be better then they are at it or you might only win bery little. Then they big boys are always playing and know what they doing so yes it is skill but it is not very easy.
Poker is the only game that i believe will have big effect when you are skillful .
You can see a professional poker player beat newbies a lot pf times repeatedly , you think it was because of luck?
No it is clearly because of skill , they know the time to go allin or stop , bluff etc.
if the game is player against players well we will see most of the time pro will defeat a newbies as they have a lots of experience and strategy
but sometimes or there would be a time that luck will come and newbies will also defeat them, skills is important in such gambling as it will
bring you a good advantage just like trading if you know how to play it correctly then you will also earn a lot.
In the end everything depends on how you play with it , if you smart enough to avoid gambling with its impossible odds to win in the long run.
You will always prefer to trading instead any kind gambling games include the one that skill based game.
Gambling has bigger risk in the long run , while trading give you more chance to improve and get profit steady.
259  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do you decide when it's time to sell? on: November 22, 2017, 06:08:55 AM
The more I learn technical analysis, the better I am at picking the optimal entry and exit points. It's an invaluable skill that every aspiring trader should be putting most of their time into.
Yeaa just do more research and you will find a good buy position and sell position.
There is no specific situation make you have to buy/sell , as the market keep moving and not at the same pattern.
Just keep learning all day long until you feel have found a chemistry , i mean a real guts that leading to a perfect prediction.
