2701  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does becoming a parent changes the gambler? on: March 24, 2018, 04:46:14 AM
This was the discussion topic we were having last night, a bunch of gambling friends and one of them an expecting dad. There were counter arguments that his child also would turn out a gambler like he is.

The arguments were that it is his in his gene and that'll pass on to his child, since every one in his family was a gambler.

The counter argument was that the child would make a logical decision and genes won't play any part in this.

Which brought us to another important question what if turns out a gambler would they both play together. Would he be comfortable?

Amid this he walked out and texted me he didn't wish to gamble anymore, so wanted your views on this.
Well, because what they saw to their parents where they will be also. Will no father like his son become anger to him because he is addicted in gambling. So, I think that that man is really worth of his family he love his family his son because he chooses to quit.
Yes, there something like that but mostly gamblers will stop or minimize gambling activity if they already become a parents because being a parents there's more responsibility that need to do especially in taking care for the children, so even though gamblers properly manage their time to balance their time for family and gambling but still at the end family will be prioritized and mostly gambling will be minimized.
Responsible person will do that, minimizing or totally quitting this activity for the sake of their child will be the first priority, being a parents with love  definitely attached yourself with your family, you will do everything for their betterment in life, it will include to do some hard work to make sure that you will be able to sustain their needs, but in the other hand, there's also some people who doesn't care about this those who are too much addicted will not think of anything but keep continuing ruin their life inside this activity.

Actually what the OP is saying is true, although there are some wealthy person who waste their money on gambling casinos just to pass their time and I’ve known some who are like this, and I’ve also known some who are less fortunate and strive hard to hit the jackpot because they feel like that’s the only chance they got to being wealthy; hopeful that one day they’ll be lucky.

The rich also gamble. But as I know, instead of looking for profit they have another agenda. Usually they play with a relationship in business or something similar to it just to make the relationship closer or make the relationship more strict. Business deals often occur from the gambling table.
Not all have that intention, they also played gamble and get addicted, I've heard some stories about a businessman loses his wealth because of
cockfighting, at first  they just enjoyed and its an addition for their social life but there's also a bad influenced getting so greedy and addicted to
the game and it will results to emptying their pockets.
2703  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: March 24, 2018, 03:18:42 AM
bad news for Boston: Irving will undergo knee surgery tomorrow and then almost certainly for him the season is over.
Another serious absence for Boston after that of Gordon Hayward.

Ouch. What happened?  I read that he will have second opinions though so I hope that he can go back and play for the playoffs. Hayward being absence already put a lot of strain in the Celtics defense as well as offense. But if Irving will be sidelined for the rest of the season, then I think it will be also over for the Boston Celtics hopes to at least win the Conference in the East. Lets see how it goes and I hope that the injury is nothing that serious and not career ending.
With this news, I am seeing a Raptors vs Cavaliers in the east finals, Boston is good but they cannot last in the series without
their best players and Irving just exceeds our expectation on him so without him, Boston playoff future is not good.
Sad news for Boston again, if Irving is over for the rest of the season, then raptors and cavs will be favored for this east playoffs, the journey
is over again for Boston, while in the other end, cavs already got love to back up their inside defense, with love's presence the team that leads
by lebron is more competitive and showing aggressiveness to make sure that they've got the playoffs spot.
2704  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Media is negative about Bitcoin? on: March 23, 2018, 04:35:27 AM
Whenever a government announces to regulate bitcoin or cryptocurrency or whenever BTC price is in downfall, most of the media start to warn everyone not purchase or invest in Bitcoins.
https://www.bitex.in/a-class-of-indian-media-unnecessarily-damaging-bitcoin-reputation/


What is the reason for doing this? Do they intentionally do this so that even they can invest in Bitcoin and make some profit?


They doing their job because of money. They are responsible to announce to all people what happens on our country but sometimes they tend to make fake news for the sake of their own good without thinking if someone else will be affected by their news. Before we believed in news, as a listener we conduct our own research, because there is a truth behind their fake news.
We need to be more wiser as we are staking our investment, we can't blame media for patronizing fake news, as it is a call for their jobs, its
all about money and they really control the situations, we need to work with more information before we jumped into any conclusions, people
will lose their money if they keep following the news out from those media people, so better to be more careful.
2705  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Effects of Gambling on: March 23, 2018, 02:18:48 AM
I agree with the good effects that has been mentioned,truth that number one is not guaranteed always that you will win most of the time you will lose.
I think everything that be positive result bad effects in gambling was already mention and I agree with OP's statement.
It is hard to say that you can always win with gambling and settings that you have or strategy that you have but there would come a time that you would really lose continuously. Regards with the posters initiative to say what the effects of gambling everything is true. It's only a matter of time whether you would apply it in your life or not.
Often people ask there are some people who were winning in the casinos while you people are saying there is no win in gabling so what is that? I think we should always understand the fact of something that how it behaves. As far as gambling is concerned, you must find out the nature and behaviors to it. And when you start finding, I assure you will definitely find out that it never let anybody win in a row. Hence better to leave it.
I see that the point is, if we are playing gamble we must see both sides, there are people who able to win and achieved as they really plan it well,
while those who's addicted and greedy most of the time got loss as they can't manage to stay with their original strategy, better to focus with what
you are aiming and stop chasing loses if you suffered one, just think that tomorrow might bring you some luck so save your funds and don't lose
it all if you already facing some losing streak.
2706  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: March 23, 2018, 02:00:53 AM
The Cleveland Cavaliers just won a tough battle against the Eastern Conference leader Toronto Raptors and it just shows what this team is capable of come playoff times.
My heart is pounding like crazy when it was at the last minute of the game.

It is a hard fought game but the Cavs can really do it.
Speed.
Toronto is more of that and Cleveland before just got Lebron who can really sprint coast to coast.
Now with the addition of the new young players, somehow they could battle with it.
Kevin Love is also back which made a lot of difference. 23 points and 12 rebounds. That is the damn Kevin Love that I knew.  Grin
The cav's was different together with love, though it's lebron do the rest but in terms of maturity, lebron played well together with love and smith,
we are seeing different cav's now since new young guns additions, they can run as they are fresh legs, if lebron love and smith continue to play
this way together with  clarkson , hill and nance jr, then spot to the finals still open for this team.
2707  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin on tv series on: March 22, 2018, 04:12:51 AM
The problem with television now a days are outdated for what really is the technology that belongs to the people. They keep their eyes close to not see what it bitcoin is really made for, they keep their ears covered not to hear the protest against the monopoly and manipulation in our financial system. I’ll wait until the corporation behind our mainstream media is run by the people and not by the elites.
Hoping that more people will hear it out and open their minds about our financial system, if things will be change and more adoptions will happen
then we will see better future, bitcoin being advertise and being well broadcast will help the community to grow more, the idea will bring more
attentions and hopefully it will also provide more positive supports from the public.
2708  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Effects of Gambling on: March 22, 2018, 02:47:07 AM
Gambling Affects your life either in a good or bad way in the long run. Some of those effects that can change your life are:

Good Effects:
*Can make money easily (not guaranteed)
*Gives so much pleasure
*Meeting new friends
*Can increase your assets

Bad Effects:
*Big loss
*Increased on your debt
*Loss jobs
*Depression/Stressed
*Broken Family/Failed on relationship
*Insufficient Funds

Despite of this effects many people are still want to continue gambling, how can you handle this possible effects of gambling in your life?
it is very difficult to escape from someone's addiction or hobby of gambling, perhaps only with a strong conviction and intention to escape from gambling. so as not to fall more deeply and may take a long time. to prevent if I want to gamble, I always remember the bad effects alone. so after I remember I did not play gambling.
Having a bad experienced give us a glimpse of possible outcome, good for you mate instead of playing aggressively again, you are now much aware
that playing more will just give you same results, if you really can't control emotions better not to play anymore, its a certain individuals who can
really control emotions and have a good self will to avoid big damage both from financial and social aspects.

The genes of becoming a gambler is not being transferred or pass to the child. A Gambler is the act of playing gambling which stands with you and it involves money, fun or either a want to play. It everyones choice if you saw how father a gambler or a businessman but the child don't wants it. Trust me its going to work and it is how you build train the child.
It's not being transferred, but for sure it can be adopted by their child, as parents is the best example in their eyes, so whatever they seen from them
they will think that it's good and it will developed inside their minds, being a responsible parents we should not gamble with the fate of our kids, instead
of letting them see us gamble, better to be more discreet if we can't quit,.
2710  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: March 21, 2018, 04:20:48 AM


Well having a best record is nothing if you don't win the championship ring. Just recently Warriors did the same (73-9/2015-2016, beating their opponents and dominating them. And then they face James and the Cavs, losing at the end, and setting another record as well, became the first team in NBA history to give up a 3–1 lead in the Finals.  Grin

So for me, if Houston choke at the playoffs remain to be seen. Of course its better to be the top seed in the East to gain homework advantage, but if you lose at the end then there's nothing to be proud of your record breaking season without a ring on your finger.

You're right. I think the Houston rockets are ready for the playoffs!

When they make sure the league's first record, I believe they will let some of the main players rest!

I believe the rockets can reach the finals!
There is a big difference in the playoffs and we know that Harden is a choker, good thing now that he has Paul with him
whom I think is a tough guy, he can support the scoring and sharing the ball at the same time, I would say they are a legit contender this season.
Houston Rockets are in good shape right now seeing number 1 at the west. Luckily they have a better team member than a previous year. If today's game if they can surpass the Portland Trail Blazer I think they have a better chance's on getting into finals.
If rockets will continue being healthy as a team, then chances to be in the finals is not impossible, harden and paul got a very good combinations
and the rest of their team mates really providing them a good rest when its needed, they are now in the number one position and they really showing
a good and competitive game.

Things will be more interesting, the regular season is almost done and teams are really improving from time to time.
2711  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What happen with ETH Price ? on: March 21, 2018, 04:06:00 AM
I Confused with the Etherium price When BTC down ETH down and now the price of Bitcoin is up but the price of ETH still down.
is there a reason for it? and give advice to me about Etherium.
Thanks before  Cheesy
Better to keep watching, the value of ETH will rise up again, this coin have a big difference with bitcoin, though its still relying with bitcoin popularity as
crypto main coin, but the development and the progress of ETH will continue, I think looking deeper and make a good research will allow investors to
continue trusting this project, value will rise high and it will follow bitcoin trend for sure.
2712  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The way to win in gambling on: March 21, 2018, 03:44:12 AM
Gambling is only for fun, not for earn more money actually. The way to win is became from luck, analysis the game etc.
But gambling is not positive things to do, better we find one job for our life. Success is never work in gambling, but work hard to success more better !
I agree. Do not just rely on gambling when it comes in income..if you really want to have a good income then find a good and stable job for you. Gambling game is just for an entertainment and if you win, that is just a bonus for you if you are lucky enough to win. Maybe the best way for you, is to work hard and not relying on something that there is no assurance.
Taking a big risk is not healty, even you win in some instances chances to lose back is always at the back of it, many gamblers are always positive
thinking that they can manage to win even they already loses they will keep on continuing to gamble chasing back their loses, that's why it should
not be take seriously for money generating machine but a source of enjoyment.
2713  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you still continue? on: March 21, 2018, 03:18:06 AM
naturally if i am at lose why i should have to continue?..there is always another day..if you are not lucky today then you have to stop betting...you may come back another day...whose knows, tomorrow is your lucky day.
Well each of us has different nature on how we react on a loss , mostly I believe become so emotional instead calm down cool to think like "it's just bad luck , I might get the lucky day another time so let's stop it" losing in gambling often makes people losing their mind , no wonder stories like what op tell above are a common thing happened. Go big or go home to die.
Most of the results is being broke after proceeding, chances to win or chase back loses are very small inside gambling, as continuing even you
already loses a lot will just let you to have more mistakes, better to chill out and allow yourself to have some refresher, there's still another day
if luck didn't permit you today, then try it again the next day together with some new strategy.
2714  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How safe is Bitcoin gambling on: March 20, 2018, 06:15:15 AM
Hello friends

How safe is bit coin gambling is it worth?
If yes and than how to play and where to play?
can now make a living on this gambling?
waiting for your opinions guys.

hope all good. Wink
Gambling is never safe must be prepared to accept all the risks, and gambling I think is just a luck so I think how to play just relax and play it depends on how you want it because there are many places for you to play gambling. I do not agree if the results of gambling are made for your family's livelihood, because that's the result of a bad road.
We can't place ourselves to another persons opinion about gambling, there's really existing culture where gamblers treat gambling as a source of their daily financials needs, always trying luck to feed their families, as per bitcoin or crypto it's just the same with online gambling, we just needed to make sure that we are using reliable game house to make more comfortable with our money.
2715  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Try to recover loss on: March 20, 2018, 05:49:14 AM
Previous few month we see all altcoin price is decrease.So at this time how I recover my loss.I decided one think,I want to sell my all altcoin now.And try to start trade and recovery again.It's possible? Can I do this.Tell me your opinion, can do or not?

It is a known fact that, since the beginning of this year, the market has experienced a drop, as compared to the level it was in 2017. As a result of this, most people have experienced one loss or the other on their investments and some has even had a panic sale. But be it as it may, having a loss and wanting to recover, by means of selling off and re-entering the market again, should be a personal decision. Otherwise, i suggest for you to hold.
Decision that have a lots of responsibility behind, the market is volatile it's hard to predict what will be the next moves, if we do invest we should
follow the rules of buying low and selling high, never be a victim of the whale market, those people who knows how to hold and play with the game
of risk are the one that will be able to benefits, choose the right path and take the risk of holding more.
2716  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Gambling addiction a disease? on: March 20, 2018, 05:02:39 AM
Disease can be passed to another person or get spread and addiction doesn't do that. It could be categorized as a mental problem that range from mild to a very serious addiction on gambling.

Yeah and mental problem is a disease. So gambling addiction is disease. Well maybe you do not think of mental problems as disease, but I do. Gambling addiction must be cured, if it is extreme and the gambling addict is aware he is addicted and wants to quit, rehab can be a solution, but if you want to slowly in his own way can also work, it's just that you should be more patient and should not easily give up.
If the gambler is willing being cured then there's a lots of options aside from his willingness, the medication to relax a minds and to balance the brain was
also available, we knew that gambling addicted persons needs to have rehabilitation in order to free their minds and with the help of their willingness to
have a normal  life again and their love ones support then this disease will be wipe away.

This year is a season of opposites.
Golden state sucks.
Cleveland sucks.
San antonio is not stable at winning games.
Portland looks decent.
Houston is going to rock.
Raptors might actually make it past the first round of the playoffs. Cheesy

Raptors are going to the finals this year. No bought haha.

Looks like denvers chances are over. Losing to Memphis and now can't wake up to beat Miami. They are done
Too early for raptors being favored into the finals, we knew that boston and cavs still a team to compete, though they played so well and being number  1
are assuring them to the next round, the league are really fun now to watch as teams really improved and showing their desire to be able to advance to
the next round, the finals will be more unpredictable with rockets and raptors showing the lead at the opposite sides.
2718  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does positive thinking affect your edge in gambling on: March 20, 2018, 03:21:04 AM
Some people think that strong feeling affect the outcome of your bet. But for me its all about luck., what do you think guys.

It may not have an effect of the outcome of your bet but it sure does affect how you will react to the outcome. If you lose on a certain bet and you are still positive that you will win then you are still rational and think straight so you will bet according to your plan. If ever you win then there is a possibility that you will reach your target profit and stop gambling or become greedy and bet more. Positive thinking is vital on how you react to a situation.

If you are thinking negatively then there is a possibility that if you lose, you will become frustrated and bet all the money you have and expect a negative outcome. You are not thinking straight so you just bet all you have because you are thinking that you will lose it anyway so why not bet all. Instead of having a possibility to get back what you lose, you bet all of it because you are losing hope.
Positive thinking exist inside the minds , specially those gambling addicted people, they keep going and keep playing as they positively thinks that
they will be able to achieve their target goals, the problem is, when they achieved the amount it will exceed to a limits and became greedy  thinking
that it will bring them more winnings as lucks permits them, good outcome for those who can control emotions while bad for those who became greedy.
2719  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it better to mine or buy Bitcoin? on: March 19, 2018, 05:54:22 AM
For the short term, I recommend to buy bitcoin and hold it for several months to get profit. Mining requires considerable cost and sufficient skills to set mining rigs.
Therefore, someone could not tell that the one is greater than the other for the reason that both have their weaknesses and downsides. It all depends on the person who will make the decision. For someone who wants to gain profit fast, buying is much recommended. And for someone who wants to earn slow but passively, then he/she should consider mining.
Decision making is quite harder nowadays, as bitcoin value jumped so high last year and drops continuously right now, so its depend on how people
assessment, those who are willing to take the  risk will choose buying and trading bitcoin while the value is cheap, then those who are willing to hold
and have a good funds to invest will go  with mining and will keep their coins for much longer time.
2720  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is the risk necessary to make a big profit? on: March 19, 2018, 05:46:39 AM
Hello guys, I see that many traders are afraid of risk, and they always want a guaranteed profit, but unfortunately, this gain is always  a little in value.
And in many threads, they always ask about "how to make a safe method in trading".
 

For me, the risk is essential in every field ( especially in  trading) to win a lot of money. Furthermore, when you are afraid, then you will never achieve what you want.
Many businessmen/women (billionaires) and  successful traders become rich because they take risks.

Come on , overcome the fear, make a risk , we will only live once.
Now the market in crisis,  you must  take advantage of this opportunity, your life may will change for the better.

This quote is  very expressing :
"If you want it, go for it. Take a risk. Don't always play it safe or you'll die wondering"
                                                                                                                            -Ms.KG


What do you think guys?
Pretty much traders who are afraid of taking risks doesn't have the right to be called a Trader. BIG risks for great deals sometimes turn out to be a scam so be careful,big risks not always come in handy and adding up the odds of a one in a thousand success. Those who take risks for themselves deserves to be applauded. However if you want to take it slow but also making enough profit i think you should stick with that well only if you have a method of your own.
You will be able to create your own strategy after you succeed with your previous attempt, people who take the risk are mostly the gainers out from the market, you just needed to understand how well you can be when dealing with your investment, inside crypto industry, risk takers who jumped a year ago are those who became a millionaires as the market grows higher than we expected to happen.
