I think there is a chance to win in gambling but it is only for short time gamblers and not to be addictive, all of us are experiencing beginners luck and if you can control your emotion or yourself you can make money and gain profit in gambling. Enough to win even small amount than targeting to beat the house.

Why would you or a lot of gamblers expect for a beginner's luck if you are not a beginner to start with? Do you even know the meaning of that word? Beginner's Luck is the luck Beginners have in gambling, well, beginners are the gamblers that just gambled for some only a couple of times that means they just started, all of us did not just started, most of us even gambled for a long time now.

There is also this one term that is been asked me including these two which is the virtual currency, they said that it is like that Virtual Currency and Crytpo Currency are the same but it is not, really. Virtual Currency is a currency with no physical state but it is still different with crypto currencies. The examples I can give is the game money or game credits we are seeing to a lot of game platforms these days.

It's a human nature actually, we change our way of living depending on what we earn.
We are not all born rich so we want to experience the power of money when we have it by doing everything we want, you are right, they work
for it so they deserve to enjoy the reward.

One of the best jobs here in this world is being a professional Athlete. You are having fun at the same time you are being paid as long as you will be giving a great performance in your team.

They deserve what they have. They sacrificed a lot of things so that they would be able to attain what they had now. Also, if you don't know there are a lot of Athletes that help poor people, NBA has NBA Cares and if you don't know that well, at least you know now. NBA created a lot of outreach programs, not only them, even players, from a lot of places now so I think they really deserved what they have now.
That's how great this league was able to deliver, they are just silently doing charities including superstars individually, though it's not that much out from their respective salaries aside from those sponsors and commercials, they do deserve what they've got as it is not that easy to be selected and able to play from this league, a lots of inspiring individuals who wanted to played but only few who got the chance and enjoy the success.

That is right. Playing in that league I think is one of the hardest things to keep if you will not be valuing it. A lot of athletes out there struggles on their trainings, their exercises and their diets just to keep their bodies and skills developed every time. It is essential to them not only as an athlete but also as a player since Basketball has a lot of physical contacts going on in a game.
2664  Economy / Economics / Re: How Long Crypto market will take to recover? on: October 06, 2018, 01:43:37 PM
We all know this year is one of the worst year of crypto, market is dead and new investors are in fear to enter,  My portfolio is 75% down as compare to January. How long this market will take time to recover?. I am stucked in holding.
Everyone asks this question, but no one can answer it, because nobody really knows it. We ourselves constantly invent some problems and reasons for such a market situation and wait for them to end.

But if we will be just following the price chart and comparing the price annually, it is easy to guess when it will be happening, and it always happen every year before the year ends. I don't know if that will be a thing this year but from the price charts, it happened a lot of times now so it is worth a wait. Well, and I hope other crypto currencies do pump that time too.
2665  Economy / Economics / Re: Reason why other ban cryptocurrencies on: October 06, 2018, 12:52:58 PM
For me the reason why other ban cryptocurrency is because the government cannot control the incoming and outgoing of cryptocurrency in their country that may result into losing of income or tax by the government for now.

Why would that be a problem? There are a lot of criminals being caught using Bitcoin transacting to people from the Dark Web buying stuffs or hiring them. That just means that people can track the transactions of Bitcoin and that also means the government can do the same and they can still see the ongoing and outgoing crypto currencies in their country. If they want to put a tax on Bitcoin, they can do and they will not be losing an income or tax since there are still a lot of people using fiats and buying a lot of things in their country.
2666  Economy / Economics / Re: Factors that affects the value of bitcoin... on: October 06, 2018, 11:58:38 AM
Bitcoin became the first asset that began to be used as the blockchain technology, which turned out to be generally necessary.

How can you say that Bitcoin is necessary or maybe essential to us? Bitcoin is just a part of my investment, there are a lot of other investments out there and Bitcoin is just at the top of it all. It's value is affected by the transactions being made by us investors or people that are using it, the more transactions are being made means more demand and more value.
2667  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does convince people to enjoy gambling is a wrong idea? on: October 06, 2018, 11:31:16 AM
If we do care about them, we need to let them realize the possibilities and all the things that can happen if they continue engaging themselves
from this activity, letting them realize will lessen the chance of being too addicted, as an adult they have capabilities to turned things accordingly
and with proper guidance they will be able to cope up and turned things to the right directions.

Well, they are adults. They don't need to be guided or be told about what is good or wrong because they already know it. What should be done to them is not to be guided but to be helped and to make them think what will be the consequences of the things that they are doing today especially if they have the responsibility as a parent.
2668  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Beginner's Luck on: October 05, 2018, 11:27:10 PM
I think, there is no difference first, second or third game, if you are lucky enough at that day, you win, that's all.
That's all and it comes usually to the beginners so we therefore conclude that beginners luck is true. I believe that it comes to the right person but not all the time its applicable to every beginner that is gambling. The only thing that I can say if a beginner is lucky that will push him to play more.
I think that beginner’s would visit casino with a gambling expert and see how he plays the game and try to catch the tricks and skills of gambling. I don’t think that only luck will get them money. No doubt that luck is a main factor in gambling but not in all gambling. Beginners should avoid difficult games because these are not for them. They will just lose their time and money.
There are different games; some depend on luck like dice games or sports betting and some need experience, tricks, gambling tactics and skills. If you an experienced gambler you will win the game otherwise your luck will not favor you. If you bet on sports, you will depend totally on your luck. There is no beginning and ending in these types of gamblings.
Betting on sports is not only depend on your luck, but there are many factors too. I think casino games and dice are the most one depend on luck.

Other factors? What factors? Emotions? Your mood that day? I don' think that would affect my gambling games. What affect my gambling games is really my luck. Without it, I am done for that day. Casino games and dice still has a math behind it but yeah, most of the time, luck carries the game. I know that counting is bad but I think there are a lot of people doing it in order to win some cash.
2669  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Beware of HACKERS! on: October 05, 2018, 05:04:30 PM
Yes. Hackers are headache to investors in cryptocurrency because they create problems. To protect yourself from hackers,  you need not to share your key or password to anyone.

Not all of these hackers are making a problem, some of them are creating reasons and proofs thay a certain program or code is bad for a certain site or services. In fact most of these hackers works for companies to improve their securities. If they can't hack, they will not be able to develop or improve their security.
2670  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is cryptocurrency so difficult to understand on: October 05, 2018, 03:13:24 PM
For beginners it will be difficult to understand crypto, but if they have the will to learn something about crypto, it will make it quick to understand crypto, because crypto is basically not something that is difficult to understand.

Well this will be depending on how will they be using crypto currencies. If they will be just using it for investment, for profit purposes, I don't think you need to understand it far more deeper, you will just study things that is related to it. If you will be making and developing your own crypto, I guess that is where the word 'difficult' comes in especially if you are a beginner into programs and crypto currencies.
2671  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Downsides to crypto on: October 05, 2018, 02:15:06 PM
If and when cryptocurrency and/or bitcoin becomes the official currency of the world, do you think there will be a downside to it? If so, what do you think the negative effect will be once cryptocurrency becomes a worldwide currency?
The bitcoin is not design to become a worldwide currency as this can't cater the bulk of transactions if huge amount of transactions will be process simultaneously. Also, not all country will support on this due to price volatility and prone to manipulations. 

That is right. Governments knew this that is the reason why it will never be a crypto currency being used as a world wide currency. If they will be using a crypto currency, it will be a crypto that they made for that certain use. Blockchain is a great technology and will be used in the future, even now, some technologies are being applied by this technology.
2672  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: You cannot win in gambling on: October 05, 2018, 12:20:14 PM
You cannot win gambling when you don't have a self discipline, a self control. In one game you just have to be a formal Player to get the best move. If you have it all I'm sure people get luck every turns to wins.
When you have discipline and self control then you can save yourself from being gambling addict and also your wealth but it definitely not going to help you at any situation to win money in gambling.And also what I can't relate what you mean by formal player? The player who keeps gambling as his daily activities?

If you will be grabbing a dictionary close to you or maybe just searching the word "discipline", this will be the given meaning. the practice of training people to obey rules or a code of behavior, using punishment to correct disobedience. So, even if you obey the rules in a casino or gambling sites, I don't think you would be able to win your gambling games. I think the discipline comes after or before you gamble.
2673  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online Gambling Versus Traditional Gambling on: October 05, 2018, 10:17:23 AM
I prefer traditional gambling, coming to the casino meeting people and playing there for me is very fun.
It is good to become socialized with other people and it is fun but I would prefer my convenience in my home while playing in online casino instead of becoming socialize in traditional casino.

Well, I guess we do have a great similarities as a gambler. I don't really like gambling outside the house because that might be a negative view to me as a teacher. Also, I don't really like to gamble with a lot of people since I am not really good with it. I just gamble to have fun but I also hope I can win but also, I don't really bet a huge amount since I am also afraid of losing my money and getting frustrated and addicted to gambling. I'd rather choose risking my money into investing rather than betting it on gambling.
2674  Economy / Economics / Re: Who controls the market? on: October 04, 2018, 11:11:14 PM
Remember, this whole thing about crypto is largely decentralized, thus, there is no single authoritative body in control of the crypto market. Although there are few centralized platforms among crypto, the market is largely influenced by the efforts and influence of the users of crypto. How well sellers and buyers treat the coins on the market affect the performance of the market.

There is no one actually controlling the market. This is a free market for all. It is unregulated. It is decentralized, everyone is a stake holder including you.

That is right, no one is really controlling the market or the price of crypto currencies because it is decentralized. Decentralized means that no one is really owning it. The problem here is that the holders of these cryptos. Yes, no one owns it but if you have more on your hands, the more you have the power to affect the market with your every movd.
2675  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is the King ! Why ? on: October 04, 2018, 02:50:35 PM
Because bitcoin coins are the most expensive and attract the attention of many people in various countries. With a decentralized system, it cannot be controlled by anyone. Bitcoin deserves to be the king of cryptocurrency.

As an investor, why would you invest in a popular crypto currency that might not be having a price pump in a short time while there are a lot of great projects out there that can give you a good profit in time as long as you pick the righteous one though it is really hard. There are a lot of people that just wants to earn easily money by tricking people on their fraud projects. Don't be mistaken or be misunderstood to what I just said, Bitcoin is the most expensive an the first crypto currency ever made but not all of the investors will invest on an investment that is already expnsive.
2676  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If bitcoin prices remain the same until next year, will it be good for the crypt on: October 04, 2018, 01:10:16 PM
We all still dont know if its okay or not, we all can’t tell because it’s better not to mind it at all and just be surprised the prices just goes up.

We don't know what will happen but we can create some predictions based on the previous Bitcoin prices annualy. If we will be basing the price there, we will be ensuring a great price and far more higher than the current Bitcoin price. But as I've said, it is just a prediction, we still don't know what will happen.
2677  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Benefits of gambling? Yes - it exists! on: October 04, 2018, 11:49:30 AM
Gambling has some benefits, but there is a lot of propaganda out there that condemns it just because a few people get addicted to it, but to deny that there are some benefits is a mistake, if you play in a physical casino you'll find friendly people there and you can make new friends, sometimes you can even make business contacts by going to the casino, that is in fact a very common practice in my country where two businessman after making a deal go to the casino to celebrate, also if you like to make sports bets you'll soon understand that you will need an advanced knowledge of mathematics and probabilities to become a winner.
Gambling has definitely a benefit and that is when you win a bet of huge money, quit gambling immediately and never come back to gambling. You will be successful. You took advantage of gambling. Now if you continue you will lose again and it is because of the greed for more and more money. Don’t be greedy and be positive and serious in life.

Winning in gambling is not a benefit. Why can I tell? Well it is common for gamblers to hope that they will be winning the big prize whenever they gamble and if they do, it is obvious that they will be going back to gamble hoping to get more or get back to what they had lost in the past in which, they don't really get back because they are continuously losing.
2678  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Gambling addiction a disease? on: October 04, 2018, 10:21:42 AM

Lol does not need a doctor to say that addicts are diseases, and illness is not always interpreted as a basis for reaction from bacteria
or the like, everyone knows that being an addict is a disease and it must be cured so as not to harm you in the long run..

Well, you can make a quick search to what is the meaning of "disease" and "illness", also, well I think people really have different point of views into these things, still sticking on gambling addiction is not a disease though but it is a disorder.



In start may be casinos or sites when they have a new id may make them actually win so that they get the addiction of earning or making money from gambling. Sometimes they may lose but majority they will make them win small amounts. Once they know the person is getting addicted then they may start making him lose and take his money away.

This is another misconception of new gamblers to gambling sites. I don't think being new into a gambling site makes your risk lower and experiencing you a great win in that time. If that is true, don't you think that there will be a lot of gambling sites being closed since a lot of people are winning their gambling games? Also, if this will be true, then I think a lot of gamblers stopped gambling since who will be a gambler knowing this will still continue to gamble in that certain or the same gambling site, it is just a common sense.
2679  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sometimes enough is enough on: October 03, 2018, 03:18:15 PM
Enough is enough is not sometimes it should be always specially in gambling you do not need to go all the way, if your capital limit is already lose or you reach your target amount of winning you should stop and make the day past and prepare for another day. We need to have self control that is a big rule in gambling to avoid addiction.

Prepare for another day? Is that a wrong construction of sentence and it really means face another day without gambling or prepare for another day to gamble again? Having a self control is not that as easy as people can say it, it is so hard to be done by an addicted gambler. The best solution if you want to get rid of your addiction in gambling is to open up that you have a problem to either your family or friends. You must admit that you are so you know and you can be open to your loved ones.
2680  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Stop comparing ETH with BTC!!!!!!!! on: October 03, 2018, 11:37:31 AM
Ethereum and Bitcoin are cryptocurrencies of different nature. The main task of Ethereum is to act as a platform for creating new projects. But as a means of payment, it is also used. Bitcoin has the main function - the accumulation and storage of capital. They are different, yes.

What are you saying? Bitcoin has the same task as Ethereum, to be used as a crypto currency. The thing is that the platform of Ethereum is easier to make another fork of new crypto currencies than on the platform of Bitcoin. There are no main task really, they are just made for the efficiency, for the innovation of the currencies that we are currently using these days.
