I have never seen anyone addicted to losing, you only do that because you believe you will get to recoup your losses so you keep playing. The part that is addictive to gambling is the winning part because its just sweet to win and when that happens, the believe that it will continue like that comes and once in a while when losses comes in, then the cycle continues all over again.
Lol. of course they are not addicted in lossing. Why the hell they would get addicted in lossing. They are addicted because they keep on playing wether they win or loss.
They are addicted to gamble which is due to loosing that is what he meant, I believe. Its like we loose money initial amount in gambling and then we try to chase that amount and hence increase the overall loss every day and every hour.
So while its not easy to do, if even we are gambling then we MUST forget what happened yesterday with our gambling and whats our stats.

If you are the owner you will be rich in gambling but if you are just a player i think lottery only has a power to be rich but it is hard to hit the jackpot prize.. gambling is not a good habit it can wreck your life if you do not gamble for fun.. and treat it as source of income can give you addiction and lose more money in gambling..
Rich and poor in gambling depend upon the nature of the gambling. If someone is gambler of casino so there is 50% chance of win and lose but on the other hand if someone is gamble of playing cards so it will depends on his skills that how much he is expert in playing cards. I have a local friend who had made decent amount from cards games, but not rich yet.

If you have the luxury of choosing between saving with a bank or investing online I would go for online investing(to be precise bitcoins) as  Its only Bitcoin that allows you to save while its gaining in value depending on the bitcoin price which would be considered as an investment

Yes but now there are many investment opportunities coming up for bitcoin too and these are different from traditional trading methods. Holding bitcoin and waiting for the increase in price is just keeping bitcoins in dead position (although if it’s one of the safe option) but keeping bitcoins in flow makes the contribution for the growth of the network as well as it also gives some benefits in the form of returns on investment.

Investors these days are very cautious on where they'll invest their money since there are so many people trying to scam people  so it can't be help that people are most likely to just keep their bitcoins and wait for the price increase since as of now it is the one of the less risky investments you can have .
I think even if you are going to save your money so your money cannot be even safe there, as there is always a chance as banks can take your money, so it is better to take risk and invest your money in bitcoin specially in present times as the price is expecting to increase more and more in coming days.

internet is the main thing that you need. It is true that it is depending on economic state of a particular country. The poors are not working for the phone or internet there priority is the food that they aill eat everyday
Technology has become so cheap that the poor people are finding it hard to earn for living and they can easily use internet and can easily afford other advanced technologies too, so I think they also have better opportunities to use bitcoin for making some good profits for a better living.
3265  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin help poor countries? on: November 28, 2016, 06:41:20 PM
In my view, country that adopts bitcoin will easily get out of their poor economic situation in a very short time.

Impossible. Every year there is (supposedly) billions of dollar in form of donations going to countries in need of help, but in all the years nothing has happened. In fact, things have become worse. Put that against a few individuals making $10-$20 per week, how on earth will this get an entire country out of its misery? If the incentive for improvement isn't coming from the governments there, then it will never happen.
The donations that are mostly collected on the name of needy people is misused, and they do not reach to the needy people and that is the reason that it shows not a positive progress, but I think if the mechanism for the distribution of donation make transparent then it will really show a good result and same is the case of bitcoin, if bitcoin is used in its true sense it can really help poor countries.

Greed is indeed the key issue in any gambling that exists in the world and most of them are also becoming greedy people will even be someone who had a bad life. because all funds they have lost only to use for gambling in which they only get a big loss. So if we want to get something beneficial in gambling then we must eliminate appetite and never greedy
In one sense everyone is greed as everyone is continuously struggling for making money, and I never saw a single person who have stop earning because he considered his earned money enough for spending life. Therefore everyone is in fact greedy. So, it will be obvious with failure of emotion control, everyone will lose in gambling for sure.
3267  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit Gambling for Good, think for your loved ones on: November 28, 2016, 06:09:18 PM
If we can quit gambling of course is very good, I'm gambling just for fun and with small amount, so gambling not make my mind as addict. I can quit anytime, but for totaly quit is not easy same like smoking.
In fact it is not such an easy task to quit gambling, as I have personal experience in that, as I tried for so many times to quit gambling but for every time I cannot succeed, as I quit gambling only for some time and after that I start it again, so after that I change my gambling strategy and sat playing gambling for a fixed amount and that strategy really worked.

Now I am playing gambling up to that limit which really helpful in protecting myself from losing a big amount of money in one time.
3268  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do any people gamble under the age of 18? on: November 28, 2016, 05:10:15 PM
Yea I was gambing under 18 and now I have 18 about 2 weeks was my 18 year bitrhday but I gamble online from 1 year ago and my first sport betting tikets was when  I was 5 years old hehehe but gambling can be good for kids which are under 18 because If they gamble smart they can earn a lot but I think that gamble for under 18 need to be allowed but with some limits.
Not only you but there are so many other people who are playing gambling illegally, as gambling is an illegally activity in some country for all age of people for both male and female,  but in those areas where gambling is legal still they do not allow under 18 to play gambling both in casino or online but still they find ways for playing gambling.
3269  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: In what gambling games are you good at? on: November 28, 2016, 03:07:35 PM
My clever gamble on dice. indeed I used to always get the defeat of sites dice but slowly, now I get the average profit of the dice. other than dice website I also like to gamble at the site of the ball. I would bet if the team was playing my idol

Mostly I prefer to play dice game and I can enjoy it. I do sports betting too but not so often. For sports betting I will try my luck on my favourite teams and at big events only, like euro cup, world cup, champions leageu etc.
to me i mostly play gambling in sports, as i was a good player and i have a good experience fo games therefore i most give preference to  sports gambling, and make a good amount of bitcoin.
Actually sports betting gets better with time because we can use the past records and understand how a player behaves under various conditions and how a team approaches a particular match and a lot more added to this we can also start our prediction business and hence make profit without any risk at all.
3270  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is 1000 btc Possible on: November 27, 2016, 07:42:31 PM
It depends on the coin if its not shitcoin and in your investment. You need a bit huge capital. That is possible but at the same time it was really hard. For sure 1 year is too short to achieved such amount.

I agree and in achieving that 1000 BTC, you will be averaging 2.7 BTC a day. Though if you are lucky in trading, your  capital double, 3x,5x or more if you are lucky enough and can wait, but the question is when. You will really need big capital.
Around 3 bitcoins profits per day continuously will not possible for any trader. If a trader even try to achieve that with big capital, I still doubt about consistency. Because, as we are aware of the unpredictable nature of trading will lead to anywhere.

Moreover I feel, looking for that big profits must be greedy and it may collapse any trading plans due to with emotion failure reasons.
3271  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online Gambling vs Real Gambling on: November 27, 2016, 06:44:19 PM
Hello Guys, I would like to know you're understanding about online gambling and real life gambling. Since here in the philippines online gambling is now illegal. I'm just curious what's the difference about this too. Why make online gambling illegal?

Online gambling is being called illegal in the philippines because online gambling doesn't pay for tax in philippines government. They want the citizen of the philippines to only gamble in casinos who are paying for tax for goverment only. The tax are used for government projects but most of the time corrupt official are the one who are gaining a lot from the taxes.
Now you see they are actually tax minded and hence they are calling online casinos as illegal and its pretty horrendous that the government want to take tax even from people are are loosing money in gambling, seriously desperate government. Because either they should ban gambling offline and online both else allow both.
3272  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To Gamble or To Invest? on: November 27, 2016, 02:57:17 PM
Well that's why you have to study and research thoroughly first where you'll be investing your money because if you invest in something that you have no idea with, its the same as gambling already. I've also made quite an amount investing in altcoins though it takes a bit of time. The difference with gambling though is that investing can give you a clear picture about what you're going to get if you prepare for it while in gambling theres no assurance in whatever you do
Having the enough knowledge in investment can make you successful indeed, you should only invest to those trusted and guaranteed sites/company. There is no more reason to be ignorant nowadays, use internet in good things. We can really make money online.
Yes we can make money online if there is some legit investment site but its hard to find that kind of investment, most of it are scam. though i still prefer to invest my money rather than to gamble it.
The only safest investment so far for me along the riskiest form of investment is just by holding your bitcoin for the future. In that way, you will not worry so much as you are taking in charge of your money. The future will determine your fate, either you will lose all your money as it may become worthless or you will make a fortune for holding.
But that's not a gambling related investment actually a pretty awesome idea and adopted by many in recent years but here I guess we are comparing the investment made in gambling related sites or businesses and between actually gambling with our money. I guess investment is better if you own a casino or invest in a casino who's owner you know personally.
3273  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your aim in gambling???? on: November 27, 2016, 01:18:16 PM
Have anyone here actually gamble as form of contemplation game of chances and to learn about different games?
Because I recently started to learn rules of some rare casino games like: Casino Wars, Sic Bo, Chuck a Luck or Three-Card Poker.
And I don't expect to play for money these games anytime soon, I just like to know what they are about.
I have not played any of the games you mentioned and I do not have interest in that kind of games. Actually, I only play limited games like dice, roulette, and my favorite which is sports betting.

My aim is to win money but I am okay if I lose because it's gambling and it works that way.
Well thats right its common to lose when we play gambling so theres no need worrying we just need self control to avoid much bigger risk with our money we should play wisely to earn at least little profits.
I have done gambling wisely, smartly, slowly and everything but brother the result was always same : LOSS. Actually by wise I meant I used to gamble and once in profit I stop for the day but that ended when I loose on a single day whole bankroll. By smart and slow I mean I make little bets and win but that too didn't worked.
3274  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling crying thread on: November 27, 2016, 08:27:09 AM
Oh man i believe instead of crying again and again the person must leave the gambling and which i did as well.I got into huge trouble in my life due to gambling and i am still but i am trying to recover and said a strict no to gambling,try sports betting sometimes with small amount which cannot make me cry even if i loose.
I did locked my funds to overcome the habbit of gambling but that never helped because I always used to get some payments and I used them.

But anyways I had a lot of fun doing those bets, personally I NEVER cried because of gambling but I have cried indirectly due to gambling, actually my family hardly used to talk to me when I was at high in gambling and hence I was very upset.
3275  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling problem on: November 26, 2016, 08:43:46 PM
Well, let them suffer bro, me for example is a gambler when I had my money. I gamble just for fun but while im enjoying im getting addicted to it that I cant stop. Until I have realized that im losing my money and i need to stop, but i cant. So i started investing my money to something profittable. I just considered myself that that investment is a gamble
Therefore every gambler must be ready to face the consequences if he will not do it the right way, there's more ways to make money legitimately and not only gambling but if we choose to have it fast then we have to face the consequences as it's risky by nature.
There is no harm in gambling if it is done either in a controlled manner or for fun. But that been said even the most legitimate ways of making money have their own risk. For example you are an investor in a gambling site then obviously you should be in profit always but uncertainties happens like a big player beats the edge and wins.
3276  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your gambling strategy on: November 26, 2016, 08:35:49 PM
I do odd 2 with 100%
Then I tell my self that if i lose maybe almost 10 to 15 percent of my current hold BTC ill stop, but if i win 10% I will stop and think about playing or stop playing. If decided to play i will must stop after losing 5% and never thought of winning..hehehe
Good strategy, you have to produce a big bankroll on that you will be satisfied with your winnings and also being discipline is important and you must stick with the game plan not matter what.

Do not let your emotion affect your gambling session.
This strategy is not new mate I have been doing such strategies for over a year now and I can regretfully say that I have never been into profit for more than a week.
What worked for me was sport betting and I made some fine profits but now that too is lost due to my careless mistake out of hurry.
3277  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Worst mistake in gambling on: November 26, 2016, 08:16:44 PM
if I often do stupid things when I gamble. if I've lost a lot of my bitcoin. I feel frustrated and finally everything is not controlled. you must know the end I lost all my BTC. and I only realized when it has completed a gamble

Not only you but many people will face this issue in gambling. So firstly we all should know that all these gambling games are not made give profits to gamblers instead gambling houses wants to make a profit from these sites or houses. If you understand this, then you will never gamble with all your funds in gambling and should always fix small amount for each session of gambling to avoid significant losses.

Yeah thats right thus happened to me as well when i was just starting and trying gambling out. Sometimes when you experience winning, you get a bit cocky and you tend to be more aggressive in betting which really is a dangerous thing with gambling. You most likely will end up exhausting all your capital.
Yes aggressive gambling or gambling in desperation is very risky because we are not betting since we think we might win the bet but because we want to win back the lost money and hence we make the loss even bigger.
Once I gambled and lost 1 BTC just because I wanted to recover my 0.07BTC which I lost some times before that.
3278  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To Gamble or To Invest? on: November 26, 2016, 08:07:17 PM
Gamble = Investement
Investing is different than gambling actually because in investing you are playing with the house an in gambling you are playing against the house. So, while you are expected to win while investing but there are certain risks too because the site might scam while also the house can go in loss too.
3279  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Where to invist / store my Bitcoins? on: November 25, 2016, 07:46:28 PM
Hey Guys,

I actually have 0.25 BTC but I dont know what to with it.
I already tought about to invest it in a website like hashocean.com but I am afraid to lose all my Satoshis. :-/
So whats your idea where to invest or something different to do with the 0.25 BTC.

Best regards,

Patrick Smiley

I wonder if you have invested your bitcoins to that website then it must have been painful for you to lose it as the site turned scam after some time of your post, and if i had an amount like that stored in my wallet i would have invested it in trading as i know i can earn some good amount of profit out of that.
I think you can just give him a suggestion and then it is up to him either he is going to do so or not, you cannot be blame for that. To me the best option is that in beginning you should invest your bitcoin in alt coins but try to invest your money in low price alt coin but having good potential to increase, and in this way you will just start receiving  your experience and after having good experience you can invest a good amount of money.
3280  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Be Smart, When Investing Your Bitcoins In Various Sites on: November 25, 2016, 07:36:52 PM
I've tried investing in trading and the not so reliable gambling sites. In trading, I made little profit since I only have small amounts of BTC. Below 0.1 btc if it's your concern. I'm not smart in gambling yet, so I have a negative profit, so I wasn't really reliable to it. But I'm starting to improve everything I know about BTC
Investing in gambling is not such an easy job it really need a courage and everyone do not have that courage, as gambling is one of the most risky way of making money but if you are lucky and having some good skill and experience in gambling then you can really make good money in gambling.
