Free is most likely what people like, they would grab anything if it's free, and yes, I would try the free chance of betting but that's it, I'm not going to deposit any money on gambling site that would offer this kind of bait, they are just luring people in addiction by proposing such bold marketing strategy. This will be fun and more fun if you luckily hit the jackpot without you expecting it (then you wake up).

Keeping yourself reminded about your losses could be a good thing or a bad thing to you, it depends on how you are going to look at it, because if you do have a record on how much you lost since you've started gambling up to now, it could wear you down and make you lose your confidence (which is a good thing for me) but not for those who decided to keep up for so long then suddenly stop because of too much depression.

But if you don't have any record at it, I could say that you are sailing smoothly, not bothering about the money you have lost or losing, probably because you are playing gambling with moderation and not getting yourself driven by addiction.

I can advise every gambler to make a paper wallet and wd anytime a part of the winnings to it.

A wallet where you can lock funds for a X time should also be great but don't know if that exists.

What for? this will just make things more worst than ever, you cannot lock a person in prison without him thinking about escaping, same goes to the gamblers, if that wallet do exist, let's just say it does, even when they lock it up, they will think for another way to have extra cash for them to play gambling while they are waiting their funds to be unlock, doesn't change anything at all.

Says who? harmony IEO happened on binance and bounty hunters still promote the project for the them, tokoin is another good one, not to talk of many goof successful bounties of 2019, if you are choosing bounties wrongly then you don't know how to do research
- sessia bounty is successful
- colletrix bounty is successful
- gowithmi is successful
from the list that you stated only Harmony is somewhat decent. LMAO
the rest are shit coins that has low trading volume. Its not even worth it for waiting months, could've made more by working part-time in real life. hahaha

Success could be define in so many basis, and regarding about what you guys are discussing, the other one doesn't care about the quality of a bounty and you are, that is why you are coming to different point of view, however, you are both correct.

If we are going to talk about legit bounties and successful, then there are still ones, but if we are going to add the quality of their tokens and the solidity of their project, well there is almost none, unlike what we had in 2017. Since the start of 2018, I could say that I've only received shit coins in my wallet too.

Be care to keybase airdrop that promised 500 xlm. Is a scam.

I don't join bounty airdrops, that is why I don't know this one, but regarding about your concern, it is just an airdrop, which is free if you follow their rules to receive it (don't requires any amount of money), if you don't receive it, then try another airdrops, there are plenty of them in the bounty section, crying about it because it is a "Scam" makes you look so desperate about airdrops, even it is not totally a scam.
266  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The Need to Reconsider Holding altcoins on: November 16, 2019, 02:30:23 PM
I have a friend which do had a coin that he received way back 2016 as an airdrop, I don't remember the exact name of the token but they've received a lot of it since it only had few cents of dollars on its price, and he hold it, in the year 2017, it went so high and he even built his own house already that year by his profits on that "shit coins" that he thought it was, that is why my mindset about tokens who have only few cents on their name changed, I hold them hoping that after a year or maybe two, it will gives me also profits like what happened to my friend, but until now, I still don't get any.

I heard recently an interesting thought about alcohol addiction. It was said that from birth one can say about a person whether he is predisposed to alcoholism or not. The whole secret is allegedly how well the body produces an enzyme that raps alcohol https://www.mydr.com.au/gastrointestinal-health/liver-and-alcohol-breakdown. And if this enzyme is produced well, then a person does not appear addicted to an alcoholic.
Perhaps this idea makes sense

Personally, I don't think it works on this level

And as I'm inclined to think, it has more to do with brain chemistry rather than some enzymes in the liver. Why? The logic is pretty simple. It is not consumption of alcohol itself just like not gambling per se which turns people into alcohol and gambling addicts. It is the urge that they feel after they have not drunk or played for some time that drives them insane and makes they come back for more. Obviously, all this happens in the brain, not in the liver

Maybe what he was trying to say is that if it is in your blood (family) that loves to drink alcohol, then you're also going to be immune to alcoholics drinks, you would never get drunk, and in gambling, you are playing gambling but you have the resistance to gambling addiction.

But yes, I agree to you that it is all happening to the brain, since it is the one who controls our entire nervous system who commands every parts of our body what to do, and gambling addiction is also included.

It often happens that people go out to play a variety of games of chance with a certain amount of money, but in the end they spend everything if they are gone. How to prevent which technique you base yourself on to spend no further. It's hard to just give up, people persistent in gambling that day, so they can't just tell themselves they'll try tomorrow. Why is this difficult? Is it because of greed?
Based on my experienced, i restrain myself just to have a small lost and not spending more money is by limiting and bringing the only amount of money that i need to spend at the casino. By that it could help myself from being greedy and continue to play gambling all night at the casino.
indeed when we are in the game we will be difficult to control emotions and of course, the best way is limit the amount, or bring money that can afford to lose, so we do not spend all the money in one game.

Still, the point here is we are still going to lose all our money even we do this, for example, you have a $100 worth of tokens or fiat if you are playing in a actual casino, everyday you are just using $25 and after you lost it you will stop and try another day, you spent 4 days in gambling and still, luck is not on your side, you lost your $100 in 4 days. What we have to do is, not to gamble what we can afford to lose in a day, instead we have to distant ourselves in gambling once we've lost couple of times already, or we will lose all the money we have in a certain amount of time needed.
That is an example when you play casino, of course, it is difficult to get luck there, while in sports betting games in 4 days I will certainly get luck, because sports betting is still predictable.

Online casino or an actual casino, they are just the same, you're going to lose most of the time because that is how it works, and about your sports betting, I'm certainly sure that your prediction on it is not always as accurate for you to win most of the rounds, I'm sure you rely on your luck making you guess random bets in sports betting, correct me if I'm wrong.

Lucky for you if it is really true that you have your luck in your side whenever you need it.

Well, I almost missed this thread of what IF before OP locking the thread.
Well, in my own opinion, I will begin to make friends with him and once that we already a friend I will convince him how to teach me.
Another option, watch every move he has and learns with it. Poker game is based on skills, if you know how to work the strategy he has given, then, you will become like him someday if you are willing to learn and master that gambling.

This is a double edged sword, you could learn his skills but you can never copy his applications, like when is the right time you will apply it to overcome a tough situation or the other way around, just ask him about his experience and some tips on winning, figure out your own strategy and no doubt, it will work for you every single time.

E D I T: Don't rush yourself learning in gambling, or you'll find yourself losing with your self-proclaimed "skills"

krogo is this a double raffle?

404-405, So it means there are 2x, 16 slots? For a total of 32 slots?

and this raffle will make a 2 winner?

Yes, we'll have 2 winners, obviously, but it's still 16 slots (technically) because he said we only have to pick 1 slot, and what we've pick will be our slot for 404'th and 405'th raffle, correct me if I'm wrong.

I think the worst case that I have done for gambling is betting my last money on a game,
And I end up losing the match so in the end I didn't have enough money to have a decent dinner for my family.

I've also experienced this once, it can't be help and hard to resist once we won even if it is just a couple of times, that gives us courage every time and we are always in control by the house because of that bait, in the end, we are all crybabies or a mad grandma, ranting about the money she lost because of herself.

And the other thing is, gambling is never a decent way to give your family a decent dinner.

But it was the last time that I made anything stupid for gambling.

If you are still playing gambling, you're still making stupid things.
273  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [What IF] Part 5 on: November 14, 2019, 04:26:55 PM
I'm not good in poker but if I have to play then I would just join him, this is a very effective strategy as I have already done this before in different gambling game. Like in sports betting, if I see someone who is very consistent with his picks, then I would prefer to follow his beat while he is still hot.

Here's my what if regarding about your opinion.

What if you joined him and the tide's changed, he started on losing and you bet, big to bigger bets having a thought that he could win the next round, but he didn't, right after that, I am sure you will put the blame on him and going to roast him like he forced you to join him. The advantage of joining forces with someone you think good at gambling is a nice move, but you also have to consider that there are times that he is going to lose and that times might be your wrong move and the result is too far from what you are expecting.

By saying this, I recommend not to do this unless you are ready for the consequences that possible to happen, so there would be no blaming scenarios in the end, that's very unprofessional and immature.

If you've said this sarcastically, I would agree with you, but if not, then I strongly disagree with this.
No kind of addiction is good

There are good addiction and bad addiction, in simpler terms, "good habits" and "bad habits".

But I think it's better to be addicted to gambling instead of drugs. At least you are not doing anything against the law, and beside's you are not damaging your health, The only thing that can be damaged is your money! lol

They are both bad habits, and if you think you are not doing anything against the law when you are gambling, think again, I bet you are not going into a casino and just playing gambling online which is against the law, just so you know. Also about the health thing, you could technically get yourself at risk by playing gambling online, if you are addicted on it, spend a lot of time in front of your computer and don't get any enough sleep everyday, your brain is at risk.
276  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Much Money You Need To Win To Stop gambling, Is This Possible. on: November 13, 2019, 05:33:24 PM
It's discipline, and you need to consider everything when it comes to the right decisions. It's better to have control over your emotions too. Be considerate and think things through.

Disciplined gamblers sometimes mistaken they've still got some discipline in their body when it is just all arrogance, winning gives us a hope where we think it will be useful in the long run but it is not. Gambling is about sticking to your true intent, because you don't really actually lose, it's either you win or learn, but most of gamblers took their losses seriously and forgot to do some reflection about their mistakes to avoid making it happen twice.
277  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [What IF] Part 5 on: November 13, 2019, 04:38:19 PM
Poker is in a big percent skill-based, that's why you see some people constantly winning at Poker. Talent and learning strategies & risk management principles are a must in Poker pretty much like in trading. If I would be skilled and confident on me at that specific game I would certainly join the table as I usually don't back up from any challenges.

because poker is skill-based I will join him because winning in a row means that he has a good strategy, it's like a free money Cheesy
whereas if based on luck, it's better to fight him because there's no someone in a row will get luck all the time.
Luck has still something to do with poker player even though it is a skill based game. The luck that I've been talking about is the sequence of the cards. Although the only way that a professional player will lose if they were being deceive by their opponent when bluffing. So that means the luck is on his side.

I'd rather join with him he's too lucky but not in the poket because that's against with him. If I have to defeat one lucky gambler, I might have to look at the person first before trying to join because I know that somehow I still have chance to win.

when your opponent bluffing this is your strategy to play, whether you will be carried away by your opponent, or you fold, or you can also follow until 3 cards are opened, then you can determine. About luck in poker is when you have a good card then you ALL in and this is where the luck happens.
But how can you determine if your opponent is bluffing, it will be hard.
Unless you have a good card in your hand to fight even if he is bluffing.
Waiting for the flop to determine the next action will be the best trick to see and measure your chances of winning.

Bluffing will not always be displaying a tough face that says you have the upper hand, therefore it is hard to fight head on against someone in poker because everything is unpredictable, and for me, bluffing is a suicidal action that anyone is making while having the thought that it could be their key to win in poker, trust me, its not, let your card to the bluff alone, go with the flow, and only use one expression when gambling to make your opponents confused.

To be honest, this has nothing to do at all with the bitcoin adaption, these questions you have mentioned are answerable via google and bitcoin mass adaption is dependent on the majority of the world's population, and Government will be the key to all of that, but the bitcoin mass adaption seems to be a bit imposible to happen in the next following years because Governments are leading people to misunderstanding about cryptocurrency by feeding them false information about it.
279  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Red trust accounts wearing signature..... on: November 12, 2019, 02:53:41 PM
Presently i detect that few bounties still allow red trust accounts to wear their signatures, i think this means the bounty project is been managed by bad bounty manager or what do you think? for example E3T bounty allows red trust account, is this normal ?

Red trust means a lot of things, those who have red trust must either scammed someone, low quality posting, and other unforgivable act that is against the forum rules. In my opinion, bounty managers will not have a problem if they are going to let some people who have red trust as long as they didn't get that because of spamming, if they got it because they scammed someone, then it is not the problem at all cause he can't scam a project because he is the one who works for the project, and only the team could scam him.

On the other side, most of the bounty campaigns and managers doesn't allow red trust users to join their bounty, I guess it depends on who is managing the campaign or to the team but that doesn't mean that they are scam also.
280  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Betting : A big problem to crypto? on: November 12, 2019, 01:43:55 PM
I once came across an article where it was stated that over 60 percent of most crypto transaction were used for betting. I don't see anything wrong with that. But don't you think it portrays crypto in a bad way?

Gambling is not just using cryptocurrency as a bet but also with fiat, but the Government doesn't consider it as a bad thing as long as they will provide the legal documents making their gambling business legal, the only difference about online gambling that uses cryptocurrency is that they do not submit such thing to Governments, they are making it freely to gain profits by using this digital money we called cryptocurrency.

And it is not a bad thing or a good thing, it is either of the two depends on who's going to look at it and judge it.
