My favorite game is roulette by my favorite thing to gamble on is sports.  I prefer to bet on football (soccer) and basketball.  I get a lot of excitement when I put money on a game.  Sports have become quite boring to watch unless I have some money riding on the game Smiley  Also I firmly believe that sports betting isn't just luck because you can use the knowledge you've gained over the years to increase your odds.
Thats right dude, it will feel less if you watch soccer without gambling, you know it will add more fun, because there is a sensation when the goal happen or when your team is in a tense situation. I also favorable sports betting, soccer bet in particular. and I often gamble with my friend because it's much more fun..

I think that is not correct since there are a lot of people that really want to watch sport because they love sport. Not all of the people or the spectators watch a game because they have a bet on it, most of them are fan of a certain player, know that certain player, supports the team and a fan of a certain team. The tense and the sensation you felt during the game with your bet has the same feeling with the people I just said.

Oh really? Now they are at 1-3, how about that. It's all a matter of pacing on how to jel with his teammates and not about any promises. I also think the Lakers is not aiming for a championship this year but the pride of James to be at that level is still there. So let's see what he can bring to the table because it is still to early to say what they are capable of doing.
Well, Indeed they won against the "SUNS!", though win is a win. Lebron may not be aiming for the championship, but the management always do.

I don't think that any player will not be aiming for the championship. I mean that is the reason why they play in certain reason. Also, I don't think that there are other reasons to play the NBA but to win the championship right? If they don't aim for the championship, they what are they aiming? Fame? to be the Best? If they want to be famous and to be called the "best" player or team of that certain season, they should be able to take the championship or even join or compete for the conference finals.
2623  Economy / Economics / Re: Where should we focus this year? on: October 21, 2018, 12:36:37 PM
I think that next year will bring a lot of money. The market will unfold in the winter and we will see how young coins make X. Personally, my strategy is to buy various coins and wait for the pampas.

It does every year, it is like a pattern being followed by the price chart and I do hope that this year's price will be the same for Bitcoin and other crypto currencies that pumped. I don't really invest on new projects since I lost my interest on it when I get scammed by a lot of projects in the past. I know that there are a lot out there that is not but still, the trauma is still there. I can't easily trust projects right now and I can't tell whether they are lying or not.

LOL! See I told you guys, today Lebron will fall to the hands of the Rockets! hahahahaha Good to see Lebron in losing streak. They will not even go to the playoffs!

Well, the Season just started so I don't see Lebron James not carrying his new team to the Playoffs just like the last season. The team is just new and the players are still feeling each other in the NBA court. I'm not a fan of Lebron but I really think he will not let this season pass not even reaching the playoffs. West Conference has more great teams than East and I think he is still adjusting into it.
2625  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you have to make big investment before you can make profit in crypto? on: October 21, 2018, 10:26:02 AM
Actually, when the market is rising, the biggest investors make millions. However, you can earn even when you start with 100 dollars. Just be patient and spend a lot  of your time in the cryptocurrencies.

You don't really need to spend a lot of time on the crypto currencies, even though the price is volatile or quick to change, you don't need to check  on it every single time since you can do other things while waiting for it to pump. You can spend you time with your family, you can focus on your main source of income since you must administer your time well. As one investor told me, time is the most precious thing you should carefully spend.
2626  Economy / Economics / Re: Friends reactions to crypto currencies? on: October 21, 2018, 09:27:25 AM
I was questioned on crypto currencies legalization. I explained the facts happening around. Few received it with convincing reactions and few just ignored it. I really felt bad for the guys who did not care about crypto currencies as I really know the fruitfulness? I happily taught few others about crypto currencies. What was your friends expression when you introduced bitcoin to them?


I once shared about cryptocurrency to my close friends. They ignored me and they thought of it as scam but I continued with I am doing. They even laughed at me and they told me that what I am saying about crypto is not true. Now that my life is getting better through it they are becoming curious.

It is funny how they knew and now are being curious to what you are doing. A true friend don't laugh to what you are doing, they support or give some advice or suggestions to help you raise yourself, for me, that is not your friends. When I talk about this to my friends, they are not really laughing at me, they are listening to what I am saying, yes they say that they are not interested but they warned me to what may happen especially they knew that scams are a usual thing to investment and crypto currencies.

Acceptance is the first step to any cure of the problem. Till the time one do not start admitting the solutions will not be the boon for that person. Admitting also help the person to realize that some went wrong and need to work so that in order to come out of it and never repeat the same mistake again.

But only acceptance wont help. The person needs to be determined and willing to give up their habits for the better future - for themselves and their family future. Many gamblers do realize the effect that it has on them but few fail to take action. They go into a depressed state where they start doing things that normal humans are not expected to do.

Those who do change or start to change their habits are the ones who need help of such features. For them regular swaying of the mind away from the thoughts of gambling is necessary to break the vicious cycle.

If you know that you are addicted into gambling or anything, maybe on drugs or other things, you should really admit it to yourself since you will not have the will or the determination to push yourself out of that addiction. In the past, I am so close from being addicted into gambling, I am so lucky I have my wife watching over me, admits that I am using our money into gambling and will change for our children's future. They helped me overcome my addiction and it is thanks  to my wife and my family. It is not easy to stop your addiction, there will come a time that even if you are stopping yourself from gambling, you are more getting addicted to it.
2628  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction becomes more popular with young people over time on: October 21, 2018, 07:26:17 AM
Nowadays it is quite easy to indulge in gambling. A lot many online platforms are available and those who are living in jurisdictions where gambling is banned are also able to take part in it through these platforms.

That is right, it's attract more people to try playing gambling especially if they have the internet connection. They can easily to visit the gambling site and they can start to play the games. The younger people with a big curiosity will come to that site and they will play the games because they want to know how the feeling to playing the gambling game.

Young people are very susceptible to gambling addiction. I agree that younger generations are inclined to be very curious in trying new things especially those which has the chance of uplifting their financial condition.

Even if they have a good standing in their life, I think these young people can be very susceptible with gambling addiction. Young people these days always want to try something new and they are easily influenced by a lot of people especially their friends and the social media. That is the reason parents should really take care of their children.
2629  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can too many Altcoin's can become a threat to bitcoin's existence on: October 20, 2018, 02:18:04 PM
all these altcoins in the end still converted to bitcoin, so there is no threat

Also, with a lot of altcoin in the market, Bitcoin is the most traded crypto currency still. Thousands of altcoins are being circulated in the market and Bitcoin is still in the top being followed by the altcoins. It may be of use to Bitcoin since Bitcoin can adapt to some crypto currencies since I've read something in the past that some of the feature of other currencies are being used to Bitcoin.
2630  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: are you now afraid to save bitcoin until December 2018 on: October 20, 2018, 12:26:23 PM
And we dont have any option for now, we just need to wait until it recover and we get our investment basck. It will be good not to worry since theres nothing we cant do now.

That is right, we don't have to do anything now but to be patient and wait for the upcoming pump that might or may or may not happen this December. December is the usual month that the price pumps and the month is closing so it is really better to wait. What I am thinking right now is how much it will rise this year since every year, the price, well the ATH usually was always changed every year and it always happen in that one month.
2631  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I wish I dump all the BTC in late DEC 2017 on: October 19, 2018, 04:57:11 PM
don't greed bro. if you know the future i think every people get rich

That is the problem there, no one knows what will happen in the future. If someone knows about it, let's just look at it as a cheat code. Life will never be as fun and exciting as it since, well you can have anything, anyone and anywhere you want, you love and you desire. That is really boring, having a cheat code in a game decreases your excitement to play that certain game.
2632  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Banks will always be against cryptocurrencies? on: October 19, 2018, 03:29:50 PM
this is very true. because if they don't do that. Cryptocurrencies will kill the bank

Why do you think of that? How can you say that cryptos will kill the banks? You have no supporting statements about that. For me, cryptos will not kill the bank. It is still needed in a country and banks can use the technology that these cryptos are using for improving their transactions. They might apply the Blockchain technology or maybe depend their new technology to it.
2633  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin a Digital Gold?? on: October 19, 2018, 01:52:04 PM
i don't think so. i think bitcoin price don't base on anything. so it not a Digital GOLD

Well, it is based on the movement of the price in the market since the price of these crypto currencies are dependent on the law of demand and supply. Bitcoin is not digital gold, not because it is the most expensive and it is the most popular investment of crypto. It can be compared to gold but gold is still better than Bitcoin.
2634  Economy / Economics / Re: How can we get people to use bitcoin as a currency? on: October 19, 2018, 12:26:17 PM
Bitcoin is currently unstable which is huge deal that is holding it back from using it as a currency. So if it becomes stable it can be used.


And being stable means that it will not be a decentralized crypto currency since that means someone is controlling the prices. That is bad since there are investors that wants the decentrality of Bitcoin and other crypto currencies. Also, investors take advantage of its volatility, and with stable price, there will be no volatility but just centralization.
2635  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Pacquiao Vs Mayweather 2 on: October 18, 2018, 11:48:10 PM
Maybe on the same cart: Khabib vs McGregor? What do you think?

Lol. Are you trolling or what? Khabib vs McGregor is UFC and Pacquaio vs Mayweather is Boxing. I would have understand if this two events clash in one day but in the same card? No, I doubt that it will happen because of so much politics in sports right now and two different sport disciple.
Honestly I do not even see the two things similar in the sound it would create. I agree that ufc has been getting bigger and bigger and boxing has not been doing really well like it used to but Mayweather and Pacman fighting is a great event and definitely attracts a lot of people whereas Khabib and Conor are just showmen trying to get more viewers by what they are doing at every corner because they know just from their fighting talents.

Mayweather has been undefeated for a long long time and Pacman was the only person that was remotely close to beating him and the fight had to become really really boring for the viewers for Mayweather to get the game and this time around if they end up fighting I am sure everyone will root for Pacman to beat Mayweather so it would attract a lot of viewers whereas people literally stopped caring about Conor vs Khabib after 2 days.

Pacman was closest to beat Floyd, but that during Pacman's prime. But Floyd refuses to fight him and let him get bang by bigger Welterweight and even Middleweight. And when the time comes that the two faces in the right, Pacman was not the same and his speed was gone that's why he didn't even hit Floyd flush (although others will argue that Mayweather's defense is the best). Yes, many will watch just to see Mayweather lose to Pacman, but I don't see it happening though.
You're right. I think Floyd was an opportunists fighter right from the get go cause Pacman was not at his best when he faced May weather even Floyd knew he couldn't beat Pacman. Despite his slow speed,Pacman was apparently not in good health when he came into the ring and this was the reason why he was sued for false claimed.

Honestly, sports are not like before

Maybe Floyd wanted to fight Pacman again because he wanted to make money. This two fighters are very well-known globally and every fight that they made, they always earn millions of dollars and this is why Floyd wanted to do it again. Well, let's just see the news if these speculation could be happen.

Well, we all know it might be the reason, but I think there are more to it. If Manny Pacquiao knows that he has no chance of winning on Floyd, why would he still fight? In fact in their last bout, Manny Pacquiao thought that he won the fight but he didn't. With the past fight he had, I think he has now a higher chance of winning. I am not a supporter of these two but I know they are great fighters.
2636  Economy / Economics / Re: When the government forbids cryptocurrency on: October 18, 2018, 05:08:34 PM
the government does not prohibit bitcoin as a digital asset but the government just wants to avoid the negative effects of bitcoin, for example corruption and other crimes.

Well, this depends in that certain government since there are a lot of mixtures of point of views of these government officials to the crypto currencies the reason why some of them banned Bitcoin and other crypto currencies in their countries while others accepted, embraced and regulated Bitcoin in their country as a mode of payment. Every government of countries has their own oponion and decisions about these.
2637  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think about Bitcoin? on: October 18, 2018, 01:38:54 PM

I think the future bitcoin will be an official currency. A common currency for people to buy and sell on the internet. This virtual currency has a lot of potential to invest.

It is not that I don't agree to what you are thinking since I don't think that Bitcoin will ever be an official currency for a certain country. We all know the reason why, it is because Bitcoin is a decentralized crypto currency. I don't think that the government will allow such crypto currency to be an official crypto but I think it would be a currency that is legalized or maybe regulated in the whole world.
2638  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A banking app helped me beat my addiction on: October 18, 2018, 11:56:46 AM
After reading this article, I would say the main character mentioned in this article does have strong determination to fight against his own gambling addiction

I agree. This is the reason why a lot of people are addicted to gambling and no one is stopping them making them more plunged through in to that addiction and people around them is not giving them some determination, some ray of light that can help them to save that one certain gambler. There are a lot of gambler out there that can't be stopped from gambling but we are mistaken that they can't stop, we can make them stop if we have the determination to do that so. That is also what they need to be given, determination to stop and not determination to gamble more.
2639  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling with normal games on: October 18, 2018, 10:24:19 AM
Wow, a lot of things popped out of my mind when I read the OP. I love games but I don't call myself a gamer since I am so far on that, I just call myself a player since I just love some games that I played. There are a lot of times there that I bet on my friends like whoever win, who will be the first to die, who's gonna get the first blood (Dota), there is a lot of things we had done. Even if we are just watching a tv series, I tend to go to some of my friends there to bet what will happen or what may be the twist in the ending. It is really fun doing it. That is the time that we realized, almost every day of an individual's life, you gamble not realizing you are gambling. You make choices that has risks and you don't look at it as gambling but you look at it as a decision you had made.
2640  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you find Success in Gambling? on: October 17, 2018, 10:51:34 AM
Thats right, you won't find any success in gambling, don't go too far especially having goal to become rich from gambling, you won't
be able to get it, it will lead you to a big bankruptcy, because it is too ambitious will make you become addiction and you get big loss

It is not that you will not be able to find any success in gambling but there are a lot of times that a lot of gamblers lost a lot of money in this industry. There are a lot of addicted gamblers that lost a lot of money to it but still they kept on gambling. We know that there are a lot of tournaments online that we can see and watch and we know that there are a lot of times that they can see that they won, not only hundred thousands but we are talking about millions sometimes tens of millions, so we can conclude that we can win or find success through gambling.
