2661  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The key reason for gambling on: December 02, 2018, 04:41:01 PM
OP can we have some options added to the pool like "want to try my luck",because my main reason for the gambling is to try my luck from time to time which maybe fall under get some excitement option but still trying luck is more on to the point why we are gambling.

It is very relevant option which can be added as generally gambling is all about the luck in majority of the games and people try their luck if they can win big or not. Hope they can control them self and if they lose will move away and  not continue for longer time else will lose more rather than winning it.

2nd Test between Bangla vs WI have started and Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat. AT the end of days play they are in a strong position with 259/5. If they can reach anywhere 375+ will be a good score as they would be able to get WI out within 300 or less runs and will have have some lead in first inning to put pressure back on WI.

Right now they are at 428/8. Remember that Bangladesh had won the first test by 64 runs. This is the second test and as of now it looks like WI may not be able to win it. It may be either a victory for the BAN or a draw. That means that the test series is won by Bangladesh.

They are now at 457/8. Say if Bangladesh make around 500 and if can get WI all out in 300 or so and decide to bat again and make 200 with a lead of 200 which is 400 runs on bard in 4th inning chasing is difficult. So WI will be always under pressure from here it seems considering their only hope is that couple of batsman can make century which will only help them to draw the match.


Bangladesh posted 508 for allout and West Indies are 75/5, actually they were 29/5 but this last pair is going good but even then i think they cannot avoid the follow on and Bangladesh will take full chances to finish the match before 4 days and win it by one innings. West Indies are playing very poor match.

I agree as I can't see the WI making 200+ runs even though Shimron Hetmyer and Shane Dowrich are batting well. Once one of these two is out the rest will crumble as the WI have a very poor lower order batting average. Bangladesh will win this test match and also win the series which they deserve as they have been the better team this series.  

West Indies doesn't have a good test team for a while, they've been focusing too much on shorter-version of the game and kept neglecting the original test format.

They've only 3 Test (series) wins in the last 5 years, which is extremely poor.



In the existing test match between Bangladesh and WI nothing much is left and WI will lose this test series as well with the loss of this test match. WI trail by 379 runs and 8 wickets left. So now nothing could save WI from losing its test match unless some magical performance happen from WI team.

nO MATTER HOW good you think you are the house will always win because we are stubborn to stop when we have a chance to leave, and decide to keep playing and lose everything

It is the human greed which comes in between the gambling and leaving the casino. As soon as we see money we think it is easy to win in gambling and can become super rich form it and in that anticipation we keep on playing and think one day our luck will shine and make us rich.
2664  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Block Chain going to be the only option for the Gaming industry ? on: December 01, 2018, 05:30:25 PM
I don't think it's going to be the only option, because the traditional casinos play a big role on the industry, especially the land based casinos, and their customers aren't worried about implementing Blockchain technology. Blockchain would become a must only if an overwhelming majority of gamblers ask for that, impacting the profits of traditional casinos, forcing them to make changes.

Anyway decentralized casinos aren't a guarantee of anything for many people. It's common to see people here saying even Crypto casinos with provably fair system cheat the players.

Till now even without block chain gambling has being running and was functioning well. So with blochchian it enhances an option of paying through online. It is an added advantage for the people who know how to use it and can make payment through it. But generally even if it stops it would not effect that much that can cause gambling a danger.
2665  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: On what kind of gambling you got maximum reward from betting? on: December 01, 2018, 11:56:57 AM
Yes, I get maximum rewards on sports betting. I always get a greater amount of profit in sports betting (especially football, eSport, Basketball) than other games. I think this is very easy to get profits from other games. I always fail in casino games and always get a loss, so I rarely play casino games and more often on sports betting.

Sports betting is like you know the participant r the team and then you can bet considering their strength and weakness which gives us a chance to bet on assured winning to an extent. While gambling in casinos where house has the edge their is always a chance of losing more rather than winning from it.
2666  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling addiction mainly due to loneliness and dissatisfaction? on: December 01, 2018, 11:54:32 AM
We can say for sure because gambling is a part of hobby, the risky hobby.

Let's take an example , why people want to purchase drug although they know it's addictive things ?
Because there is a joy inside it so it's also in gambling.

Loneliness and dissatisfaction are some factor that the chance is low !

The causes of addiction can be anything and the number is also relatively large. Lack of attention from the closest people, wrong relationships, and much more. Loneliness and dissatisfaction are only two factors that can drag people into deviant hobbies including gambling and drugs.

Good point, but now let's think of what is more dangerous to be engaged with among the two. Almost every country has a lottery of a kind and many countries have casinos while drugs like heroin, cocaine and meth are illegal almost everywhere. And I think there is a reason for that, drugs are much more dangerous for anyone than gambling is. So, if someone escapes loneliness and depression through engaging with gambling, maybe it is not so bad, unless the person becomes a gambling addict, which happens with from 3% to 5% of gamblers.

They are really different things and this is why we do see different treatment or legality of gambling on each country some banned it but most of them allowed it rather than on
drugs etc.
We do know the effects of it among the two which I do completely agree to the thing had been said that gambling isn't so bad the only thing is that when addiction hits you then
you surely mess up your life.

Then we should fight the addiction and not the gambling itself. I disagree with the notion that staying away from gambling forever could be a good solution for anybody. It could be good for some people, but in most cases people would find another activity to become addicted to, and that addiction could be much more dangerous than gambling addiction. As long as there are individuals who tend to be addicted to something we should think of which addiction is the lesser evil, and maybe stop criticizing them if they are addicted to something more or less harmless.

addiction is still adiction no matter how safe or dangerous it is  and i dont believe that it is caused by loneliness or disatisfaction  but it is only caused by your own liking .  now in the case of gambling ,  we can still play it and choose to not be addicted to it by doing some self controlling methods such as limiting your self and diverting your self onto some other things that is more important  .

Addiction in gambling happens due to one main reason which is money , whether a person is lonely or not if they start considering the gambling as a source to earn money this is where the problems begins and causes the various side effects of it.
2667  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you gamble or think it's a waste of money and time? on: December 01, 2018, 08:03:19 AM
Gambling is entertainment for me and also it taught me some serious aspect of life. I believe the addiction to gambling is waste of time and money unless it's a great opportunity I think everyone should try out depending upon their financial situation. Greed and addiction should be controlled, and everything will be in its place.

It become opportunity only if you are that lucky out of millions who can get the jackpot or else their is nothing much you can expect from it. Because if you play to win only then always their is a chance of you not only will lose money but might also get addicted if you cannot control it.

2669  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Did bounty hunters really get token for free? on: November 30, 2018, 02:28:33 PM
It is completely different in choosing the campaign because there are many fake ICO's in the market which we won't get paid because they won't reach the hard cap. There are many other good campaign where we can get paid but things will take time, so we have to wait until they start distributing the payments.

Many even after getting token take huge time to get listed or might take much loner than expected and some may not even get listed. This is the real sad story of ICO and so many nowdays do not want to invest in ICO as they do not want to take risk of losing money.

Interest probably surged because of all the media attention to the crash. It's not too surprising after the market bored everyone to death this year. The rise probably isn't indicative of a new wave of adoption.

Last year it had media attention as market was on all time high and this year it has attention because it on lower level for this year. This is how roller coaster ride happens in bitcoin world and so the reward people feels is the best but even the risk involved is the highest. Thus due to fall in value is resulting people attention again and results in the top searches about bitcoin surges.
2672  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Buying for a long term. on: November 30, 2018, 05:22:57 AM
Buy Bitcoin can be considered as a long-term investment for more than 5 years, in turn, there is no guarantee that they will not depreciate or will not disappear from the market at all

As market has sink in last few months at present buying is the better option if not for more than 3 years you will definitely make a better amount of returns from this market than compared to any other market if you invest in it. Though you should have investment everywhere but should not miss crypto curency too.
2673  Economy / Economics / Re: Is the Market Stabilizing? on: November 29, 2018, 05:21:19 PM
Still doesn't clearly enough to see if market now are stable. But if we look a years before the market can increasing in the end of the year and that was some habbit i think and going down again before christmas

BTC market have started to rise and it is the good sign for everyone. This could make the good jump in coming days and may make everyone new year the good one and may end up above 8k-10k levels in 2018 which would be the best news for everyone who has kept investing in crypto currency.
2674  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The way to win in gambling on: November 29, 2018, 05:19:29 PM
In gambling not only thinks positive to win a bet but in the need of a necessary strategy and fortune, all will be synthetic and the proper technique to win in gambling.
Right, having a good strategy and luck can bring the success in gambling.

Those are the basic necessity if you have to win the gambling as without luck nothing will work in gambling Also one has to have self control because it is possible that you are winning but greed may not stop you and you will continue playing and in the end you may lose. So you should know where to stop and move away.
2675  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Drop in ICO Price after listing on: November 29, 2018, 08:05:34 AM
I invested and joined as bounty hunter in many ICO which has good concept, experienced team members and also good hype but after listing price drops very much. Some of project also not recovering since long time. Any comment.

Probably because some investors didn't really bought into the ICO and then they just dumped them all immediately since a lot of bounty hunters like us would normally just dump the token when distributed and released in the market. It does happen quite often nowadays.

It is also possible that if that project owners created just to make some quick money they theme self will dump their coins to make quick money and sell off immediately as they do not want to hold it back a long because they know that it is not the long term project or they would not get the price which they are getting it now.
2676  Economy / Economics / Re: Diversify Investments on: November 29, 2018, 08:04:03 AM
Diversification is a good investment strategy. Investing in the top 10 cryptocurrencies is not a bad idea as they are coins that have been tested and in use.

All the billionaire also say one thing that do not put all eggs under one basket in the same way it is applicable to us as well that not invest everything in just one coin. Invest in various coins so that even if couple of them does not rise still you will be making money from the other coins which will rise in  future.
2677  Economy / Speculation / Re: Short term forecast on: November 29, 2018, 05:03:50 AM
I don't see real bounces now. IMHO not the best to rely on fast recovery and growth.

I am on other side of the coin where I think that market will recover and regain to 7k easily in Dec itself and we are seeing some buying is already happening and it has reached 4150$. So some upward movement has happened where it had fall to 3500$ range or so. So may be Dec will give some good news as far as bitcoin is concerned.
2678  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: November 29, 2018, 05:02:15 AM
India vs OZ XI practice test match have started and on Day 2 at present India who had won the toss are batting at 306/5. Other than Rahul everybody contributed to this team score and this would give them the confidence before the start of the test match with OZ.
2679  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The consequences of gambling on: November 28, 2018, 05:12:38 PM
Whatever we do must have consequences, in gambling, we must be prepared to accept any risk, including the risk of defeat and losing a lot of money.

Gambling is all about risk as their is no sure shot win that you know can happen unless in sports betting chances of your winning has higher probability then playing the slot games etc in the casinos. Only if you pay for entertainment you would not worry much about the loss you may suffer.

Trading is a very difficult thing, especially when classic technical analysis not works as far as fundamental one. Only whales know when the price move on.

Like few years always the market had bull run and in that period the traders did make money and cover up their losses which is not the case till now as market has not had the bull run like previous years due to which traders did not got the chance to make some great amount of money in their trading and this is what it is frustrating everyone.
