2441  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you Rich from Gambling? on: August 28, 2016, 06:32:26 AM
There is one guy who claims he gets his picks from Allah himself and the funny thing is that he has won more than 50k profit by betting high amounts on favorites on sports betting. I think this is pure luck as he has also loses and if picks are from Allah(God) then no pick will ever lose. This is the only one person here who is rich from gambling so far. All others are waiting for better days but they seem distant.

may i know who this angel is who is getting support from god to win bets. if that is the case i would really like to meet him for sure. Hope its a made up story ,if someone is that lucky to have a wonderful betting experience i would like to receive tips from him. In my experience gambling is just for fun as you cant make money out of it.
here's the thread, you can find that person https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1571457.0 Actually he profited ~$61k from sport betting and he's already stop atm. I think he made a great decision for stopped while he's on ahead.


thanks mate for pointing to this thread. Yes i have seen his bets. but i have not seen his claim that god is helping him out  Grin , what ever it may be. it is one hell of an incredible run from him. saw him betting with ETH in directbet on the event of UFC 202 and getting away with 10k of dollars.
I have seen the thread and the way he bets, I can tell that is a shark. But I do not know why he does not update his thread anymore. I know gamblers have their pride, we just want to posts winners but we forget our losing bets because we are bias in nature.

The price of bitcoin is decreasing right now. I think it's a good time to buy bitcoins for investment right now. Even invest 1 bitcoin is also good though, but not for long term investment.
I thought so, it has decrease but still it is in the $500 level so that means it will not crush. I would consider buying today to add up on my investment for the future, it is good to see this kind of opportunity and this should be miss by any wise investor as this does not happen all the time.

The OP opened this thread and never replied any single comment, but the discussion still running Grin I think OP has got the answer, you guys dont need to repeat it Smiley
Definitely, I think this thread should be close by now because I have a feeling that the OP has really no intention to work for the signature, he just want to see our comment and maybe he was just laughing on us now because we are already spamming in this thread. I suggest this will be lock immediately.
2444  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Worst mistake in gambling on: August 28, 2016, 05:47:05 AM
  One older person told me once, worst mistake in gambling is when you started to gamble. And after that he told me only win in gambling is when you don't gamble and save your money, profit is money that stayed in your pocket.
   I don't know is it true for everyone of us, but sometimes I caught myself thinking about that. Mostly when I make some sport bets and lose money. I start to think how would I have some money in the pocket if I didn't lose it on betting.
   I make bet slips with more matches, in english you say parlay as I understand, but I think much better is to play single games. That is mistake I always make.


This is true if you are looking on gambling as a way to make profit, but for some people it's just entertainment and they enjoy it regardless win or lose. Everyone can have fun if they don't bet more than they don't mind losing.
You will only appreciate gambling when you are enjoying it despite of losing money, the concept of gambling is that we are going to spend and the gambling sites operator are going to take our money as a payment for the entertainment we get, they are in the business for profit and we should remember that.
2445  Economy / Economics / Re: How too get rich on: August 28, 2016, 05:39:27 AM
I am still on the school, maybe there is time. But I wish I could go back there.
yeah the schools or universities always just take a lot of time, though if you want to become rich with bitcoins then you would require skills too

Learning takes a lot of time. I am not just talking about formalized learning in universities, but also about informalized learning, such as self-learning of web designing, various languages or software. There is a lot of demand for skills such as website designing in the Bitcoin sector, and if you make use of these skills, then you can get rich.
Learning is just a word in the air, if you really want to get rich you need to discipline and devoted to your goal. I have a boss which does not study in a big university and he is even undergraduate but he is so successful, I guess Chinese people are really hard working base on their culture. My boss is a Chinese who owns a lot of businesses in our area, he once to me that he might not have 72 units in college but he has 72 millions in his bank account, so he can do whatever he want.
2446  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to stay away from gambling? suggestions ? on: August 28, 2016, 05:33:57 AM
It is hard to stay away in gambling because gambling is so entertaining, I think the topic is only applicable to people who are addicted to gambling but not us who are enjoying it.
Yeah the topic is really for those who are already addicted in gambling, and we are here I think because we should be the one who will give them an advice how to quit in gambling and also how to be one of us and not to become addicted.  Grin Cheesy

lol if they live in around my home, i will ask them to join with me to make a new group of people that quit from gambling and make new activity to forget about gambling. with so many people join and they really want to stay away from gambling, the more chance we've got to stay away from gambling.

Yeah, it's a very good way. Because something quite fun interactions will definitely left some very bad memories or memories that are too arrogant towards what's new in mind
Yes, new activities or ideas will do of how to quit in gambling, and I think friends can also help you to stay away from gambling. They can give you advice or you can bond with them with other stuffs, just make sure that you are not the one who will decide what you should do or else your friends can also get addicted in gambling.  Grin

if our friends can also get addicted in gambling then we choose wrong friends to ask for advice or suggestion  Grin so better we really find the right friends to stay with us, give a good advice to quit gambling, or offering us a job to stay away from gambling. yes we need new activities to get focus from what we want and to quit from gambling.

In some ways i prefer to have atleast one friend that is addicted to or in gambling industry for a long time. Why?, simply because i do want to know where he/she committed mistake and learn from it .
You are safe on that matter, you let your friend experience the consequences in gambling and you just learn from him. I wish I have a friend like that too but I wonder if I can learn from the mistakes of the others, a gambler is always a gambler and we have our own pride to protect and we think we are king and we can beat the house.
2447  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Off-Season on: August 28, 2016, 05:30:25 AM
My 2017 MVP is Blake Griffin!

No doubt he has the best chance especially if he wants it. Blake cruises on 20/10 and can give u 24/12/5 if he really wants. I think with cp3 and Jordan and bg handling his business clips can be 2nd seed (over Spurs maybe) and win 58 games.
Sorry man but its impossible for Griffin to get the 2017 MVP. Yes, he is good, we are there but still its not enough to get ahead on James, Curry, Durant, Kawhi.
Griffin will become MVP if they will succeed this season, the problem with the clippers is they are good in the regular season and you can really tell the way they ca dominate their opponents and even beating good teams but in the playoffs their aggressiveness fades and they do know pay with sense of urgency.


I'll go for Paul George for the 2017 NBA MVP. With the improvement in their line up they can contend in the finals. Blake Griffin is just a showtime player for me. Even in the mythical five will be hard for Griffin.

While it's true that PG did get better, I don't think he'll ever go play on a superstar level again. Mental and emotional trauma scars you way longer than the physical.
That's true, what I saw how Paul George played, he was not consistent last season, one day he scores like 30 to 40 points but on the next day he can even barely reach 20 points in a certain game. It takes time to heal the wound, and it was a serious injury that PG had suffered so mentally and emotionally it was affected and you cannot take that forever.

Well It's a guess. Dont get me wrong on Blake Griffin I know he's good but I dont see him to be a contender on MVP. My point is I rather pick PG than Griffin to be a MVP contender. You say 20 points a game? That's good for me. He maybe not able to drive to the basket hard after the injury but his more consistent on his outside even while dribbling.
I hope he can do that all season long because to be able to be called as MVP you need to have all the skills to be a good player. One example of a player that is deserving to be an MVP is Lebron James, he is an all around player who can defend, shoot, and rebound at the same time, and by the way I almost forget, he is good in assist too.
2448  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: August 28, 2016, 05:12:21 AM
There are many reasons why people get addicted to gambling, some are here just for adrenaline, others think they will get profit if they will continue playing. Second type is worst, these people can easily lose all their money and fall into debt just to gamble more.
Yes, right. levels in gambling addiction is different each person. What's worse if people gamble to sell goods or indebted to someone, it is not very good and could be detrimental. People who are addicted to gambling because they believe that gambling they can benefit from gambling and they think should win. So that they will bet continuously until losing a lot of bets.
That could be the worst thing a gambling addict can do, with that decision I do not think he is still in the right mind in that state. Gambling addiction could really affect one's behavior and would make a very bad decision.
Me, I would not let that happen to me, way back in the past I was addicted in gambling but I was just lucky it did not come to the point that I will able to sell my property just to finance my gambling addiction.
2449  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much can you earn with gambling? on: August 28, 2016, 05:10:40 AM
You can earn more than yo can imagine but the way to that is very hard. Many have tried to earn big money in gambling but most of them failed to succeed. It is easy if you think but when you do it, you will realize your chances is not good to achieve it.
you are right, bitcoin gambling might be really profitable if you are lucky enough to win a lot of money with it, though such luck usually not happen
That would only mean that gambling is only for lucky people who wants to win, the big question is can we keep our luck to be with us all the time because what I know gamblers does not have a satisfaction of his winnings and he tend to gamble regularly to earn more money. In that sense, we still lose in the long run.

LOL... no one can control his luck and can't bring his luck with him everywhere. and people who think they are always luck and believe on their luck so badly can still loose. luck won't help lucky peoples everytime too.
so better to leave the gambling if you don't want to loose.
Losing is part of the guy and luck is in the game sometimes so we won, it is not that we do not want to lose in gambling but what is important is we are happy and entertain in gambling despite of the fact that we are losing. I do not think we can earn because base on experience majority of the gamblers loses.
2450  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How about this for a winning run ($7600 made this evening) on: August 27, 2016, 09:37:51 AM
So, in case anyone is interested this is the conclusion to the story  Grin

....


Trust me on this, as a recreational gambler this is the best decision you have made. Just save all the money and enjoy with it. Don't get back to gambling it again unless someone tickles you again.
I am a little sadden OP is finishing his story, I have to admit as a gambler I like to follow ones story just to witness if there is really someone who can win in the long run. And OP has a good record but failed to prove my doubts for winning in the long run, but anyway, thanks for sharing your story.
2451  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What keeps you coming back??? on: August 27, 2016, 09:35:02 AM
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?
one thing makes you coming back at gambling you need more bitcoin or greedyness

Not that I'm greedy but its the adrenaline perhaps. Betting on MMA or betting on binary option can always help someone who is dying inside feel the sense of being alive if you know what i mean  Grin Watching a boxing or MMA fight is not so exciting without bets thats how it feels and i guess a gambler would be regretful if his bet won and him not betting.
That is definitely true, gambling without bets is boring and always winning has no challenge at all. What makes us coming back is because we experience different outcome of the game, winning and losing experience gives us the mixed emotion of the game and we all want to that as it is a challenge for us.
2452  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Giving up gambling is not easy on: August 27, 2016, 09:31:12 AM
Hi guys and girls! After making quite a lot of money then losing it and crying about not hapfmthe afternoon I have decided to give up gambling for good.  Its not for me in have a much too addictive personality. So now I just plan to work for casinos but not gamble.

The thing is you know you should cash out but you always want just that little bit more and then u lose the whole lot. I'm stupid and greedy. Right after I lost i put more in and doubled it then I went all in and lost it. So yes u can make a killing gambling with such a small about like a few dollars but then u lose all u make and waste a lot of time and energy and end up getting upset. Also i shake like mad when I gamble and I hate that. I tremble. When I lose I can't believe what the screen is telling me.

So any thoughts ? Ways to stop ? Ways to gamble with play money ? Maybe there are dust ga!going casinoes I can use? U know just for fun and for the fix. Smiley
if you wanna quit gambling spend all of your money so you dont have money to bet problem solve
LOL, that is the simplest answer to the problem but I do not think anyone would do that. That is a complete waste of money and there is not challenge on that unlike in gambling where we have a chance to win though there is a house advantage.
2453  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your gambling strategy on: August 27, 2016, 09:20:33 AM
here is my gambling strategy:
  • decide how much coins I will take for one session (gambling)
    release it, and make sure I will no problem if I loose all those coins
    gambling until the coins gone, or if I luck, I will earn some enough profit then stop.

actually its not a strategy .  Grin Roll Eyes

there is math strategy in gambling, the probability.
If you smart enough in math, you will know how much the probability of win for 1 game. just decide at what probability (%) you will take the game.

Yes math is importan in gambling, like blackjack, i watch a movie about blackjack counting card, the harverd students team has won over 5 M on BJ counting, genius.

I think not only for blackjack. I hope I'm the math master. hahaha. very gamble game have been set. And there is a math formula is hiding on the back. We just have to solve the formula, and if we can, we will win more.

Yeah you are right once. That all gambling needs solving in a formula that you and this game is equal to the task of mathematics. It's just that we have the answers to create a problem, we have to find a way that is extremely difficult compared to having to answer the question. So we should be changing strategy and also how
It is the hardest task for every gambler in solving the formula on how to win in gambling, in the first place gambling sites set the rules so the favor is on them and what make it hard for us is every time we experiment for the new method we need to spend as our bets.
2454  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why Gambling is Fun? on: August 27, 2016, 09:13:01 AM
Gambling is fun because we can easily see our money increase and on sports betting there are some sites that have live chat. It's make more fun, because many gamblers are chatting too.

Yeah that's the real fun in gambling, the chat with fellow aficionados and the winnings are just the consolation for some... But I think it's not all the time that we are looking for a chat mate coz you can find it on social media networks, most of the time we are there to win and to try which sometimes ended up in tears when everything messed up.
Yes absolutely we can talk and exchange ideas with fellow gambler so much fun. Gambling very enjoyable because gambling is a game that we can enjoy it all. Gambling is fun for users to control and gamble on having fun.
how is it fun to share your losing stories? gambling gives you only losses to be honest so i dont see the reason why it would be interesting

Every thought and purpose one is different ", so we only got to see how he can be comforted by the presence of gambling. Maybe he tells it like it because she too has a lot of money, so don't want to get something that can change a little bit of money to decrease.
No, we can play gambling in small quantities and still enjoy it. We can get bitcoin on the signature campaign and leaving about 25% of their income on gambling. We can gamble a few times and had to have control if the amount bet runs out we have to stop gambling. It can be done and very enjoyable, if we are looking for an advantage in that gambling can be very costly and can make us addicted.
That is true, we do not need to spend a big amount of money just to enjoy. Gambling sites are lowering their limits now to accommodate small bettors like us so there is no reason we cannot enjoy gambling, in fact we can play anytime and anywhere we want as long as we have internet.
2455  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you can control your self when playing gambling? on: August 27, 2016, 09:08:16 AM
I also can control myself after having experience based on heavy loss in gambling like everyone. I think most of us have similar story being aggressive and weak character, in sense of loosing control once we were about to loose. I have gone through same process which made me mature gambler. Now I have control and now how to deal with gamble to avoid big losses.
That just prove that experience is the best teacher, I admit I have also a problem on lack of self control in gambling but due to my sad experience that I lose a big amount of money, I am not very careful in gambling and will do everything to control myself under any circumstances.
2456  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: August 27, 2016, 09:01:31 AM
When someone want to gamble with their money to earn money and spend all of their money and do not care about the coning days then I think it is wrong but if someone gamble only to enjoy with the games and for fun only then I think he will not spend all of his money in there so he will not lose anything and will not do any harm to itself

So in short, gambling can only turn wrong when you do it in excess like: bet money that is supposed for bills and family expenses, rage betting with no system, betting properties, and the like... however, if you just take it slow and just enjoy the process with money you can afford to lose, then gambling is definitely wrong that way..
Definitely that is the concept, if you use the money not intended for gambling the it is possible that it would ruin your life. Since in gambling, there is no assurance that we can win so we should not spend the money that we cannot afford to lose.

You can limit your gambling money though, through different methods like giving your money to someone and not letting them give you money when you need it for gambling. It's going to be a pain, but works. And would be a much lesser pain than losing all your money.

By giving someone your money and ask them to hold it? Dont think that it will work though because may be if you are really addicted you can even use violent on your family members just to get that money to gamble and that doesnt solve anything. You can limit yourselves and try hard for it and you really need some discipline on it to make this works
Why would you give your money to some when you can save it in the bank. Just do a deposit with a time deposit agreement you instead of spending your money you will be obliged to save as you can only withdraw that amount after a certain period of time. That is the way on how to discipline a spender and will make him stay away in gambling.
2457  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is it a sin to gamble? on: August 27, 2016, 08:47:54 AM
It is not a sin until you start feeling guilty.

- the end.

You are very wrong of, all the existing law that hangs on the law that we have. If we believe islam then gambling is one of the things sin. reason gaming is something thing that vote the fate and also a thing detrimental to either party. don't ever think that gambling is not a sin, because it's all already on the program
So you are saying that we will be punish because we are gambling to entertain ourselves? I do not think that is fair, gambling is like spending for something that you will enjoy, and you can also do that spending like watching a movie to get entertain, that is a waste of money too, is that a sin?

Hey, may i know just what happen to this?



i can't believe it actually happen. or did he just found  a way to cancel his position? because if someone can do it, you should actually tell us some tip as to how to do it. its just a small amount but it does smell scam still.
I have already witness that earlier, I though it was just my internet connection that has a problem. I think OP should make a thread to discuss this matter so we cannot discuss it here in the signature campaign thread. Do just like what Secondstrade is doing, they have thread dedicated for discussions.
2460  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: is gambling fix your life? or wreck your life? on: August 27, 2016, 06:29:36 AM
There is a really slim chance that gambling can fix your life, as you can ask how many people/gamblers earn for a living? Or are there any lotto winners who won the jackpot twice in a year? I think there is that thin chance on where you can fix your life by winning a big jackpot on gambling. And you will lose more money if you take that road.
Some people totaly change their lives because of gambling because some people get rich because of gambling they hit the jackpot or the luck are on their side and its on fire some people are playing gambling for their daily living , but if you are going to chase always your lose then probably you are going to get nothing Smiley

Gambling really gives significant changes to extreme players. I call significant players when the gambler is either a pure random gambler and a pro gambler. In between of them are people who just gamble excess money and just for fun. But these two extreme gamblers are chasing for profit. The first one, pure random gambler most likely will have a wreck life while pro gambler will have great potential of fixing their lives or even get richer on the process.
Pure random gamblers have no game plan, he just bet base on his gut feel and normally dictated by how he feel on a certain gambling game. I would site an example where there are professional gamblers, in sports betting professional manages their bankroll well and bet conservatively but bettors who rely on luck tend to make all in bets.
