A sickness? Gambling is a habit, not a disease. If you consider all addictions a disease, almost EVERYBODY would be considered sick and ill. Think about what you're addicted to in life. What increases your dopamine levels?
That habit will eventually turn into sickness if you cannot handle the stress that gambling brings. It is normal to people to get addicted once they do gambling in a repetitive manner. You get used to gambling if you do it regularly, the effect would be negative if you cannot handle your emotions.

I think I've gone all in and won before, but that's just a guess. You should never go all in. It's only a last ditch effort that should be used with caution. Even if you all in with 90% chance of winning, there's still a chance that you can lose your money.
I agree with you. I tried to go all in in my first round of play with 95% chance of winning and I lost. Well, you really have high risk in gambling.

My most betting would be giving 90%. I always leave small amount for me not to be disappointed entirely. Actually i just bet was .05 and i lost. What's no is .01. And at least thats a high amount in our place.
That' sad to hear, maybe if you win it's the other story around. What important in betting is only bet what you can afford to lose you will not regret and having a bad day. It doesn't if you all in or not as long as you can manage yourself in the event of loses. I know's it hard if you lose but that is the equivalent of extreme happiness you would feel if you hit an ALL IN by betting huge amount.
3003  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Simple NBA Playoffs Betting on: April 30, 2016, 08:56:24 AM
There are already 2 bets in OKC. Who will bet on Spurs?
Could you update the status of bets in this thread so we could calculate our winnings on our chosen team. I would love to bet on san antonio spurs but if the majority will go there then I can only bag a small amount. Just my suggestion...

Updated, no one is placing their bets on Spurs yet. There's 2 on OKC. Someone attempted to choose Spurs but he wasn't able to pay the bet and didn't put in any on his BTC address.
I have not personally visit in your site yet but knowing this I would try it the soonest, if possible could you put an update on your site about the status of betting on each side. I think that would excite the bettors more and you can gather a lot of bettors sooner.

The confirmed bets is listed in the lower part of the page so everyone can see how many bets are there including TXIDs.
Thank you for updating, hope many would join so it would be more interesting to participate in your site. I love to watch the san antonio spurs vs oklahoma thunder games and hoping that It will go seven games to feel the extreme thrill it may bring.

Let's see if the Clippers can extend the series giving us 3 game 7s Smiley

EDIT: And... the Clippers lost. Their playoff run ended in a short manner due to the loss of Blake and CP3.

Ya i hoped before the 1st round that clippers could at least get through 2nd round. cp3, griffin, bosh, curry. Who else got injured during the play-offs. Now most prediction was shattered and new predictions are surfacing.

Cavs were unfortunate last year due to the injury of Kevin Love after a hard play.
Great value for the cavaliers at the sportsbook. Cavaliers are at 4.3 to win championship. I am planning of taking it today while the game for hawks vs cavaliers has not started yet. There is a high chances that they will win the eastern championship then I would love to hedge my bet if they will face the spurs in the finals. By doing that it is a guaranteed profit.

What do you think about my idea?
3004  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Bitcoin? on: April 30, 2016, 08:53:31 AM
bitcoin and gambling are inseparable. now most bitcoin revolving fund market is a result of gambling. most of the spins in gambling. If gambling is no bitcoin might not be as it is now. I think almost 30% of total bitcoin is currently being used for gambling transactions.


What you said is true but I think almost 70 to 80% bitcoins are using in gambling purpose only as of now. If no gambling then bitcoins will disappear very fast. Apart from gambling other purpose usage is very less but online gambling business is growing rapidly so no need worry about the future of bitcoin. Surely bitcoin prices will go high.
It is getting working together and that is quite nice because there are now also a lot of people that is using Bitcoin and they use it as their payment method.
So that will change also and the world is also getting more digital.
The world in the future will be adopting to bitcoins, although today most of the adopters are the gamblers because of the benefits they get from using bitcoin but I am also optimistic that other establishments or businesses will be using bitcoins when they understand the value of bitcoins in the future.

They can use it in online shopping, but still the gambling industry cannot be defeated with the highest number of users on bitcoin.
3005  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Everyone looses in the long run on: April 30, 2016, 08:50:03 AM
Thats the sad destiny of anyone who thinks he can beat the house in the long run, unfortunately no one can beat the house in the long run as they have the house edge, which in the long run it will come into play and making the gambler lose. There are very few lucky people called a whale who can be lucky and win a big jackpot, this percentage is less than 0.001% unfortunately. No official statistic just my thought.

that's true, it has already been proven by time. nobody can beat the house in the long run because it is not possible, maybe it happens once but that would be dumb luck and that is something none repetitive. history shows that all these casinos (the house) are profiting which means people are losing!
That is why casinos are making more money because many gamblers loses a lot. They can lose any time a huge amount of money. Usually the rich when into gambling they bet huge amount and lose that eventually then you could tell that the house or gambling sites/establishment is making a lot of money at a short time.
3006  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin the future of online gambling? on: April 30, 2016, 08:48:09 AM
The future of the bitcoin is good and I think more and more users will also gamble with it, you can already see that its growing, there are more casino's coming and also more users that want to play on these bitcoin casino's.
Nowadays, casino is not enough for the gamblers who already adopted using bitcoins. We can see in the near future that there will be more and more casinos will come up to satisfy the needs of the people. It is beneficial to us gamblers cause it will give us an opportunity to choose the best online gambling sites.
In the future will be everything online and that is including Bitcoin of course Bitcoin is online money and as you can see now you see also that it beginning more used and that is nice.
The only thing that must change is that value and that we must make it more acceptable and online gambling would be perfect.
Very well said, in only the probability of thief is very low and you can get the most transparency you want by using bitcoin. If the government of big countries would adopt to this system then there is a big possibility that a massive adoption will happen. Currently, majority of the users of bitcoin are gamblers and to think that gambling industry is bigger that combined music and movie industry their is a good future ahead of this coin.
3007  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to collect BTC ?? on: April 30, 2016, 08:45:20 AM
There is some ways:
1) signature campaign
2) trading
3) gambling ( from my experience , i lost 1,8k$ , not a good idea , but always a way).
 Smiley


I crossed out gambling because for newbies it doesn't help them to learn to gamble. And it is not a better way to collect btc from it.
Just like what you said you lost $1.8k from it. And it might also happen to them.
That's a huge amount to lost, I don't know if your were able to sleep that time when you lost it. It that would happen to me, I would be very sad. Anyways hope you have learned your lessons as gambling is a difficult way to collect BTC. You can try signature campaign which is risk free.
3008  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is their any safe methods to gamble? on: April 30, 2016, 08:43:07 AM
Another safest way to gamble is to not lose or bet all your money all at one play. Well, as what the other said above that you only use the free coins you get so that you have nothing to lose.
Use freecoins like using faucet indeed safe but is not easy to play it until be a lot.
That is very safe but it is time consuming, people do gamble because of two reasons :

1. They want to enjoy while gambling (entertainment)
2. They want to earn huge money by betting seriously (profit)

If your aim is on the above listed then faucet is not good for you.
3009  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ALL IN!!?? on: April 29, 2016, 02:48:50 AM
I do believe to go for big or go home.Gambling is to make huge profit when you see chance.I am with those who say all in many times works.Instead of loosing money in installments is better to win or loose once.
You got balls brother, you are right for the reason that the longer you gamble the lesser you chances of winning. You must doing it for sole profit because if individual want to feel the thrill gambling brings then he usually do it by installment of bet. The longer he last the longer he enjoys.
It is just rare to see people do all in, most of the gamblers here would like to stay to long to enjoy their spare time. Maybe this would really want instant, and I hope he can manage the loses if that would happen.
That's right. Most people intention why they do gambling is not to make profits instantly but to enjoy what they are playing for a longer period of time, win or lose. But for all those whi are risk taker to go with an instant big profits, then they do all in.
Which is not good most of the time, since it will leave you in blank mode if you lose your bets, that is easy to say but when experience the defeat with your ALL IN huge bets then that would probably change your world for a moment.
3010  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin the future of online gambling? on: April 29, 2016, 02:44:18 AM
I dont think that is bitcoin the future of online gambling, bitcoin is option for site gambling to deposit and withdrawal
Because its easy, simple, fast and anonymous.
It is in my own opinion, if I am a gambler why would I pay a huge amount of charges when I will deposit and withdraw an amount in a gambling sites especially the sports book. Bitcoin is the only solution we can save with charges and to maximize our profit.
3011  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Best Investments on: April 29, 2016, 02:41:30 AM
the better investment is buy bitcoins now and save it in your wallet, and wait for halving you may earn up to 175% with our risking your bitcoins
Yes, it is a good investment nowadays every person is doing the same , everyone is buying bitcoin and saving in their wallets waiting for the halving which will bring a sure benefit for its holders in a few months.
And with that if he also start trade then I think he will double up his profit and then the earning will not be 175% but will be about more than 300%, the fluctuations are once again high in the price of bitcoin, so I will suggest to start trade.
In my case I cannot afford to buy large number amount of bitcoins since it is very expensive with its current price, do you think by just buying an altcoins would be good ? I really expect the price will rise in the future for some good altcoins.
3012  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I've got $20k to invest. Please recommend! on: April 29, 2016, 02:38:37 AM
Invest in Crypto and hold it  Tongue
That's what I am planning to especially in investing in atlcoins, the price nowadays are really affordable. I would like to risk a little of my bitcoins and hold for a long time while hoping its value will appreciate in the future. Do you this this is a good idea?
3013  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: RBIES uses?? on: April 29, 2016, 02:36:40 AM
I bought a few of these Rubies but where can i use them? I read threads for betterbets and bubblesbit letting you gamble with them but theyre not running any kind of promos with them.

Is there anywhere else to bet with them? Sportsbetting? Any promos? Or are they just used mainly for trading?

rbies are still in their distribution phase and the dev team are still planning some more improvements for it and that includes sports betting. maybe try to post your queries in their ANN thread so you can get clear answers asap Smiley
Do you think it is good to hold these coins and expect that it will pump in the future. I have bought some of this coins at yobit but really have no idea about this, that was just an experiment since the price is not that much so I expense a little of my BTC.
3014  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would anyone be interested in taking some action? on: April 29, 2016, 02:31:38 AM
I'm looking to place a wager, in BTC that I can lose 75 pounds in one year, anyone interested in the action?
75 pound a day will be quite interesting rather than a year.  Grin
You can bet than 75 pound in any of dice site and if you get unlucky you will win, so lets try to loss again place 150 pound in same selection and if you get lucky you will successfully lost 75 pound within one day. Why to wait for one year. LOL
You made my day of your post, I would also willing to give to OP if he can lost that weight in a day, the odds then would be 1 BTC to win 1,000 BTC, does anyone here be interested on that?  Grin
3015  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how much you lost money in gambling? on: April 29, 2016, 02:29:33 AM
If I calculated the amount of money that I lost in gambling is about $57 all in all. Since I don't really like to gamble because I am very bad lucky in it, so I decided to stop it.
Good for you, hope you will never come back anymore cause it's just a waste of money if you are not rich. Better invest your money in trading or in a casino so at the same time you can learn how the market works. I still bet in sports but with minimal amount though, something like the minimum 0.001 per bet in my sportsbook.

If he is unlucky and is unable to win any bet on gambling then the same luck will be with him in casino, he do not have any knowledge and expereine in playing any game in gambling, he before starting anything he do practice with trial versions then I think he will be lucky at thereto complete any task provided to him.
In the most cases there are a lot of people that is losing money in gambling than they win money and that is because you need to be lucky in gambling if you want to win.
And I lost total around some 2 BTC and it is indeed much and I regret that also, but please people play with small amounts and save also some money.
That hurts bro , 2 BTC nowadays is already a material amount where you can buy lots of stuff. But anyway, as long as we learn our lessons then we don't wanna be fooled anymore in gambling. Me, I only do it in my spare time and bet just a little amount that I could enjoy regardless of the outcome.
3016  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will bitcoin go back to bellow $400? on: April 29, 2016, 02:24:07 AM
No way they will go back at $400 or else I will lose. Right now nearing the halving time, people are speculating that bitcoin value will rise and so do I that is why I am saving my coins for future and hoping the it will be bright.
3017  Other / Off-topic / Re: How kids can "earn" Bitcoin ? on: April 29, 2016, 02:22:35 AM
Kids ca earn bitcoin.. honestly i never heard that kid can earn bitcoins but i heard there's a 14 years old that can earn bitcoins few months ago and i think they are also just like us... that they are can join in signature campaign and they can also do easy task in services section but.. only amrican child or child that can understand and read english.. not all child to whole world..

Absolutely right, without English skill the kids can not join the signatures campaign because when they will not understand what is talking about. But if they have that skil it will be very easy to get some bitcoin by signatures campaign.
If you live in america or any foreign countries that their basic language is english then it is not a problem anymore, the most important part in the comprehension, it always depends on the ability of the kids to understand the bitcoin community in order for him to share constructive posts.
3018  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to collect BTC ?? on: April 29, 2016, 02:20:39 AM
Try using more than source : faucets, sig camp, trading, gambling
This way you can collect BTC easily
I am sorry, you should stay away from gambling.  There is always that chance you will get the bad draw and you never know what will happen.  I would also stay away from trading unless you know what you are doing and have watched the market for some time, unless you are trading reputable stocks.
If you do gambling you do the opposite, you are not collecting money but you are giving it the collectors which are the gambling sites. Never consider gambling as your source of income cause only few are successful in doing it and majority got their life wreck because of addiction.
3019  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When gambling makes you cry. on: April 29, 2016, 02:18:10 AM
If losing a wager is gonna make you cry, then maybe you're taking too much of a risk.  Only wager a small portion of your bankroll, an amount that won't make you cry if you lose, and walk away when you can't afford to lose anymore without crying!  Just don't do it if it has the potential to hurt you!  Common sense there, home skillet!
That's true, just only bet what you can afford to lose, losing in the game is hard to accept especially when you use the money that is not intended for gambling. I myself now would even like to cry because seems my boston team is already losing. I bet .005 BTC and that would be equivalent to my lunch. How sad..
3020  Economy / Gambling / Re: Gambling sites offering free signup bonus? on: April 29, 2016, 02:16:08 AM
https://www.birwo.com/ here you can find 0.001 no deposit bonus even though its small its still better than nothing i guess good luck playing with it
can you tell what are the wagering requirements for that

Check the site dude, the site is gone since some time ago. The wagering requirement was 40x if I remember it correctly, they also had bigger no deposit bonus in the past but seems that they got lack interest then decided to stop their service.
The site cannot be access anymore. What happen to them, maybe they got bankrupt or something? Anyway, can you share another site that we can get sign up bonus?
