Actually Lebron as of last 2014 had never been the highest paid athlete on his team despite bringing in lots of wins so I guess it's the right time for him to demand what is rightfully his.

He had passed his primetime already so you can expect to see any team would want to play alot for his service. He is still one of the best player but it is hard to say that his era is almost over, the younger player has already taking it all and he had no chance anymore perhaps he could play for maximum of 4 more years
The reality is Lebron is playing smarter this season, he had improved his game and he is not just a more scoring guy, he balance his play as he has a good record in rebounding and assists which he did not give importance at his prime.
as time passes by players already change the way they play the game we don't know how lebron will go but its nice seeing him playing like he wanted to show the world why he's called the King even more and more players already showing up and starting to climb what lebron already achieved as long as lebron is still exist he will compete and he will always achieved.
Lebron is the real deal, if he chooses to be beast he can do it anytime but this time he is trusting more on his teammates because that is the most positive way they can give championship.

Why does my percentage of total site investment less than it should be? Is the bankroll bigger than is publicly posted? There is a very large discrepancy from what my percentage should be.

Did you leverage your investment? If not, you likely control a smaller amount of the bankroll (in terms of exposure), because most investors in dice sites use as much margin as possible.
I suggest you use the 2x Kelly (aggressive) if you want to feel the result of your investment, don't worry gambling sites always wins so your probability to win is higher only when whales are unlucky.

im definitely not waiting for such low prices at the moment to be honest because most people would sell their coins

also i have some coins at the moment so i dont want them to have really small worth because its worth a bit more now
The price of $100 will just be a nightmare of bitcoin now because we are already moving forward and for those who are waiting on that price to happen, all I can say is move on.
3424  Economy / Economics / Re: What percentage of people on Earth will own Bitcoin by 2020 on: July 01, 2016, 07:03:08 AM
I dont think there will be allot of people using bitcoins in 2020 i think the percentage of the amount users from bitcoins will be at least
between the 50 and 60 procent that is relevant if you say it will be 80 i dont think the 20 procent will use bitcoins.
We cannot still make a major adoption by year 2020, that is too early considering that we have heard a good news that would absuptly change the direction of bitcoins towards the future, that year would still be a game for the whales manipulating the price.
It’s really tough to predict what the price of bitcoin will be in 2020. But what we shall predict is merchant adoption will go viral at that time as big name merchants continue to implement bitcoin as a payment option more merchants will follow suite.
In my conservative estimate, we are lucky if we will increase by 1% in 2020, honestly we are not big yet compared to the total population of the world potential to adopt with bitcoins, we need more publicity and promotion from the community to achieve a massive adoption.
That is what we are doing now, we see a lot of promotions over the internet with investments and gambling, it takes time to make people adopt as this is still new to them and they might be skeptical on the future of bitcoins.

I have $100,000 to invest but want to safely double it in a year. Any suggestions?
I do not even know how to double money in a way that will work 100%, the only thing that I can think of is by trying to double it buy gambling.
We all know that gambling is not the best idea to make money because the chance of you losing is higher.

no need to gamble in order to double your investment. if you bought your coins last year, then you would have more than doubled your money at this point. it's very simple, buy and hold and sell. you only need a bit of patience.
Yeah but it looks almost no chance it again today, seeing a stable market price even though halving will comes but looks price didn't want to moving up. the only way to double your bitcoin now is only in gambling, don't try it if you can afford your lose.
I don't recommend gambling because the is the most stupid things to do to double your money safely, it is just like you are gambling your future base on your luck.

People need to understand that 0.1BTC is alot of money for some people and for others it isn't. So just because someone bets all his 0.1BTC and loses doesn't mean he is completely broke.
Because in gambling we have different purpose as to the amount of winnings and losing, if you bet 1 BTC per game but you can afford to lose it then that would fine with you regardless of the result while the poor would worry a lot when they do that.

it doesn't matter how much you use to make bets you should always obey the first rule of gambling and that is to make bets with what you can afford to lose.

so keep in mind that you are gambling and taking risks and there is no way of knowing the result so you should be careful about it at all times.
Exactly, because of the risk nature in gambling, we should put in our mind that we can never win if we play in the long run. Playing gambling should be a way to entertain ourselves that should be done on our spare time.

Remember that it should not take so much of our time because that would already be a signed of addicted.

If bitcoin to be international currency, what do you think?
You can use it every where and anywhere, without exchange it.
And how to use transaction with it, if bitcoin just crypto currency?
How many people like with this thread?
is this all people hope?bitcoin mass adopted,become a legal and become a accepted currency in every country. of course i will think it was a great move if bitcoin to be international currency,if that happen,the next big thing might bitcoin as main payment in some countries.
I love to see that happen and also all of us here that is our main goal to see it happening that is why we are making all effort to promote bitcoins to those who have not discovered it yet.
The investing and gambling industry in the bitcoin community is doing a good job in spreading the news in the social media or in the internet as a whole, sometimes the ponzis are very aggressive to attract people to invest on their scam sites.
3428  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much can you earn with gambling? on: July 01, 2016, 06:32:33 AM
you can win a lot of money on it if you have a lot of money to play with if you have a lot of time and you somehow manage to be extremely lucky on it
There is no need to have alot of money if you are lucky so many people played with 1$ and got 10000$ profit so it is all about luck and how you manage your money and what game you choose and skills you have in that game if it is based on skills. So luck and skills are the key to win alot and have alot of profit from gambling.

But not all people has luck and it is not always happening or frequently happening and I think it is not just all about luck , and skills you should put the timing also . But not all the luck works at all so for other to be sure they are putting a higher bet and higher funds . But still it is not sure that you will earn from it because I think there are still people that losing on gambling even with a higher bets .
We all have luck and our luck will not only strike in gambling, if you are a wise person you should not push your luck in gambling by doing it regularly, the best way to abuse you luck is just to bet on lottery and when you are lucky you will easily win millions which would lead you to quit gambling for good.
3429  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best strategy in Roulette ? on: July 01, 2016, 06:30:37 AM
just martingale it, if u have unlimited money.. u wont loose Wink))))))
Martingale will not help either when in games like roulette, it is a matter of time before you lose, with continue playing of roulette you will still lose due to house advantage.

I think martingale strategy will work on roullete, but for short run. If you use this strategy for long run, you will lose all your money for sure. It's same as a dice site though.
That's why it is not effective, because as a gambler we are not satisfied with our winnings and we tend to play longer hoping for more wins and since roulette has and advantage we will surely lose.
3430  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin or gold? on: July 01, 2016, 06:24:01 AM
Why Bitcoin all the time compared to conventional, though rare metal?
It is already clear that cryptocurrency place and become something more than just a project enthusiasts. But..
Gold can bury - and it is in 1000 will be the same, and if you turn off the Internet, then ...
In my opinion, gold and Bitcoin - two different assets.
Gold over the years proved to be a long-term asset, but Bitcoin on the contrary, is growing, you can play on it
everyone should own some physical gold. It's been the store of value, and the preferred method of asset protection for more than 5,000 years. It's irreplaceable.
but bitcoin occupies a unique space in the global financial system that gold can't.
I love to have physical gold but for now I don't know how to have that, my time is more focus in investing with bitcoins because I am just an small investors with big dreams in life.

Me either I would love to have that also to have my own gold. But I can't have it because I'm not able to buy. That's why I'm into digital gold.
Which is the bitcoin itself.
I would say that bitcoin is now a gold in the internet world as its price is very high and precious to all of us.
Even if I have the money to buy gold, I would still not focus on that because the real opportunity is with bitcoin, with this digital gold, I can easily store and save this without any fear of losing it as the system is safe.
Me too, gold is only for already rich people while bitcoins gives people a good chance to get rich in the future when you are a risk taker and a real believer of bitcoins.
3431  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is their any safe methods to gamble? on: July 01, 2016, 06:08:08 AM
Is their any safe methods to gamble?  

Short answer: NO!

However, if you were to know the math and you practiced a proper bankroll management discipline, there is a chance that you could do quite well.  But, even the very best gambler gets caught up in a variation swing from time to time....so....safe?
Exactly, gambling is never safe because of the money involve, I can only recommend that we should choose the right game that would give us a good chance to win even in the long run and for me sports betting would be best.

Stay discipline at all times and never start without a decent bankroll so you would not be desperate to win big.

I agree with that because gambling is game of luck thats why i dont really see safe methods on gambling so we can win im every bet we put, but instead the safe method im gambling is to know when to stop if you win a little profit in that game we must stop because any time the house can busted our winnings if we would stay there for long hours.

And i agree to mirakal sports betting would be the best and high chance for us to win if we really knew the capabilites of the team we are betting.
Losing will be the majority of our experience in gambling, while we will experience more when we do gambling regularly because of the risk nature of doing it, it would not only affect your self living a stressful world but most importantly is your relationship with your family once addicted.
3432  Economy / Speculation / Re: bitcoin continuous rising? on: July 01, 2016, 05:56:03 AM

The Bitcoin was rising for a little bit but the price was rising really fast and it reached prices I did not think that would reach. Do you guys think that the price is going to rise after the halving?
Or will the price be stable or drop even more let me know what you expect to happen.

The price will increase after halving if big investors will allow that to happen. They are the one who can move the price for a large margin and will start the speculations about halving.

If that will happen, price rise will surely increase after halving for really a large boost. But take note that for a sudden price, it's associated with the sudden price decrease so be ready.
I agree with your statement because I also feel at this very moment that price can be manipulated but in my opinion the whales will have more advantage once the price is increasing so nothing to worry about.

3434  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: July 01, 2016, 05:45:25 AM
I believe its much better to invest it in safe places with low growth, this would let you to earn money slowly but surely though if you want to be really safe you shouldn't invest money the places where don't feel the safety.

I think yes, we can get money from the investment, the investment can work for us, and we will receive income. It is attractive and Bitcoin that passive income from it is very convenient.
However, there are many scam and need to reliably verify the information so as not to stumble on the scam.
That is the duty of an investor to make sure all the necessary information will be reviewed by him prior to putting his money to investment. Besides the risk is on the investor and if he will not exercise caution in investment it means a bigger risk.
Some investment firms would require their potential investors to take a risk profile test to gauge how much risk they are willing to take. The result would be the guide on what type of investment is suitable for the risk that the investor is willing to take. This is actually good for those who are still undecided on how much risk are they willing to take for their investments.
The only difference with saving money and investing money is with investing it is very risky which would give you a good reward when you investment becomes successful. In short, investment are only for people who are risk takers.
3435  Economy / Economics / Re: How to save money. on: July 01, 2016, 05:39:38 AM
for me its better to save your extras in bitcoin than banks. bitcoin saving will be more profitable as every one saying and predicting that bitcoin price will raise up and reach 1000$ mark. I don't know its true or not. but saving in bitcoin won't let you regret.



We can save money in different ways.one of the method is storing it in bank or some others sources.Nowadays bitcoin facility help us to keep our money safe.This type of sources in the world open a wide range for the society...
Yeah, if your main goal is only saving you money then putting it on the bank is a good move as it is subject for insurance and you will not worry about your investment that only earn a little interest. However, as bitcoin enthusiast you need to consider the opportunity it brings in to our life.
3436  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's your biggest loss gambling? on: July 01, 2016, 05:35:11 AM
mine is 0.03 but i can recover it very fast, i am very lucky now and i feel i can do it, so please pray for me Cheesy

0.03 is not actually a big lost and I guess you can easily make 0.03 in just a week and maybe just a days . That's good that you are very luckyand you felt like you can do it so I would pray for you to lose more money not just 0.03 . I would always pray for you to lose more higher than 0.03 so if you don't have enough money left you would stop gambling . Grin

Losing it all is not necessarily the antidote to stop gambling, some addicts will borrow money and gamble with that under the delusion that they can make their money back. I'd say to try and play for fun, 0.03 isn't that big of a loss yet, but it can get bigger if you try too hard to get it back.
You are in the worst situation when comes a time that you will borrow money just to continue your gambling addiction, the consequences is really bad because you are already gambling a money that you cannot afford to lose.
3437  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is this what we called "addictive to gamble"? on: July 01, 2016, 03:31:09 AM
Is more like a mental illness that in the end, results to addictive behaviors from going back even though the results are pure losses. Psychotherapy and group therapy is the key to solving these types of illnesses or disorders (speaking from experience). I went down that road when I was way younger and almost end up selling most of my belongings just so I could go back the next day and gamble again but eventually I learned how to react with such scenarios.

Good to hear from someone who have recover from being addicted, I myself have also been addicted and I lost all the money that is not intended for gambling, even the needs of my family was sacrificed due to the stupidity of my act. Now, I am more responsible although I cannot really quit gambling for good.

Wooooow! that was too serious conditions of you two. I guess the addicted person that has a problem in Gambling is also have the same result who's addicted in drugs. I have a relative before that is addicted in drugs and he can't control himself until he just sell some of their appliances in their house and even though that is not his use he will still sell it. just to have his addicted medicine.
You can be high everyday with drugs but if your trip is not gambling then you will not lose money, however if you are not addicted to drug but you love to gamble, so will still do gambling regularly and since gambling is to risky due to house edge we will always lose when we do it regularly.

gambling and drugs, both costly, because in drugs, if you just want to use you will some right? until you lose also a lot of money just by using. Some of your things, you will just sell it just to have that drugs, just like in gambling. You will sell everything if that gambling make you addicted to it and play again and again.

Actually it is not a secret anymore, because most people get addicted in gambling because they're curious towards the end they are going to get, we know that in gambling can provide the advantages and possibilities of all people experiencing addiction wanting it and after getting the profits they want a bigger profit again and again the great
Or should we say most people addicted to gambling are those stupid people who does not care for the people surround them, they just want to satisfy their needs and when they failed in gambling they will blame other people for their losses, that one of the worst scenario of being addicted.

yeah, but that is not right that they will blame other people after losing in gambling and they just want to satisfy what they needs. But I agree that those addicted in gambling are so stupid who does not care for the people surround them. They should know how to control themselves and also the money that involve in the game because in the end you might go home with nothing.
The real deal is gambling is only for matured and responsible people, if you are not that kind of person then you should avoid gambling if you don't want to ruin your life and blame other people with you lose.

An addicted person usually does not make the right decision and they are just more reliance in their luck to win but their winnings will just be spent in senseless things in life like going with friends to the bar or even for drugs.
3438  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should I invest in bitcoin casinos? on: July 01, 2016, 03:25:36 AM
I have $3000 USD to invest, is it worth it?

What sort of returns should I expect

3000$ worth of Bitcoin is a good investment try to put it in Moneypot.com and keep it in a month or a year. I am 100% sure that you will profit even in 1 week. But of course it is all up to you. Goodluck
I heard that moneypot.com is a good investment site but the question is how much return are we gonna expect in a monthly basis? Because if the return is not satisfactory even though the sites are getting more profit then I don't think I need to take risk. Can you enlighten me on this?

there is no guaranteed return since you are investing in a gambling site, players can win or lose depends on their luck. you can invest hundreds of btc and you can only profit as low as 1 satoshi from it in 1 month time, totally depends on how much players losses in the site and it will be divided to investors
The fact is casinos never lose because they set the rules in favor of them, losing and winning is just natural for both the gamblers and the gambling sites but the catch is gamblers lose in the long run.
3439  Economy / Economics / Re: How to save money. on: July 01, 2016, 03:22:24 AM
I think I was always good at saving but at least I have collected $ 2,000 since a few years ago only from bitcoin.
you just need to be diligent and do not be too extravagant and spend bitocin
That's true, we need to save while we are earning bitcoins and it is advisable to save in your wallet because by the time bitcoins will be more popular the value also increases.
Indeed, saving is very important in preparation for our future, while we are earning here and there (day job) we need to set a portion of our income and that amount should be appropriated for a certain plans and project(investments) in the future.
3440  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: July 01, 2016, 03:16:16 AM
because gambling dream much profit

capital low is play gambling is high profit high income
is lucky, not lucky is zero money

Yeah many people can't understand to do.On mind just wanna fast money instand and fast, Gambling its just for fun not for fight with your life.


hahahahah that's right. Don't take too high risk in playing gambling. because this is just for fun. gambling is made for fun. not to become a greedy person. But if you don't know how to control yourself you will become greedy with money.

This is true. You can just put in a small amount of money, $25 dollars and see how far up you can bring it. This can entertain people for a while and if you end up winning, then that's just an added bonus on top of watching your balance build up.

definitely right sir, don't bet big amount. because for me betting in small amount is much more fun to play than to bet big amount then afterwards you will just lose that amount in a very short time.  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

agree, as do the small bet much more enjoyable and much better in minimize the defeat. I also think that doing a bet with small amounts can give quite a good effect for us, because we have no desire to profit bigger and bigger again

yes, and if we just bet in small amount then winning afterwards that was just our bonus. If we lose at least we can bet again and we don't lose a lot of money. In gambling we just need a little patient and discipline. Smiley and Also just enjoy it don't take it too serious.
Only if we are betting with fun you will only enjoy the real benefit of gambling. Admittedly it is really addicting but it always depend on a gambler if he will let himself to be addicted. Greediness is what makes us addicted because  we are more focus on the amount we can win that the enjoyment we can get.

yeah, gambling is really addicting, but you were also right that it is also depend on a gambler. I think if you just bet in small amount and you just want to have fun and that's the time you will really enjoy the game, although lose or win. unless you want to earn in gambling.

I agree but I questioned those professional gambler how do they control themselves and still end up winning and getting a huge profit. There are professional gamblers out there that use to gamble for a long period of time but still manage not to lose all their money some of them even got rich with gambling.

really? do they cheat? or they are just being so lucky? I think they know how to control the game, or they have the strategy, I think they are playing in gambling for years and that's the reason why they know how to handle the game and always win.
FYI everyone, professional gamblers does not cheat but they know who is cheating and they just favor it by betting on the side of the cheat. For example, in sports betting some games are rigged just to beat the public, so to take advantage the professional gamblers will bet on the underdog which mostly wins.
