Minimizing risks is a difficult task in business, sports and games, but it is possible.
well yeah, it will always be risky and in a longer run no matter what you will definitely lose all your money if you will not stop gambling at the correct time
We need to stop as possible if we are already losing more money especially when our personal income is affected.
We can play gambling or continue playing it as long as we just use our extra money and we lose money of the amount that we can afford to lose.
You are absolutely right, we should not put at risk our personal money not intended for gambling, the only money we should spend are the money we set aside for gambling, always consider that gambling is just for fun and we can never win that if we are just a typical gambler.
Yeah, I also see gambling is just for fun, I do not see that gambling can give me big amount of money. And I even use small amount when I am going to play, sometimes I win and sometimes I lose which is okay for me because I just gamble for fun and that's it.
3522  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are your gambling stats? (Profit/Loss) on: August 20, 2016, 10:48:41 AM
i got a big loss sadly  Cry around 0.5 btc i regret it
thats why i never play with any bigger amounts of bitcoins, to be honest i dont think that it is good to do if you cannot afford it to lose
True, I also don't want to play the amount that I cannot afford to lose. I always separate my money in my daily needs and I just gamble the money that I can afford to lose. I also do gambling occasionally, because I really just want to have fun and just to try my luck. I don't use gambling as if I can earn big amount. But if I do gain profit here then thats great but if not then it is also fine. Smiley
3523  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to Turn Gambling into a Profitable Activity on: August 20, 2016, 10:46:10 AM
I think there is no profitable at all when it comes in gambling. Because for me if you win in gambling you will still lose all what you have won. We cannot make gambling as if we can make this as profitable, and use this as to earn for our daily lives. We cannot use gambling as to become our source of income. Go find a decent job and just gamble for fun not to gain profit.
3524  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: is gambling fix your life? or wreck your life? on: August 20, 2016, 10:43:34 AM
According to me gambling is a straight way towreck our life, so i will never favor for gambling, I do not like gambling,
yes if you always play gambling you probably ruin your life because all you gonna do is to play and play and play gambling where you don't know you gonna sell your things nor gadgets just to play gambling but for others gambling for them is helpful where they get their profit for their daily living and helps them to live
If gaming with greedy might ruin our lives but if gambling is done with the constraints that controlled it will not ruin our lives. Gambling can be fun if done with the intention of having fun.
If your money is only intended in gambling then for sure you will surely enjoy your game even if you lose all your money. But if you play with no plan at all and you use all your money in gambling that will be the start that you life will became wreck. But of course it is still depend of a person that is playing.
3525  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your gambling strategy on: August 20, 2016, 10:41:38 AM
for now there are strategies that I used to gamble in a sports betting. but, I just use a big gamble if the play is a strong club and they fight a new club, or unpopular. I think is very good for a big bet on the game. of course there is a risk you have to accept, but all businesses also have risks.
Well its still risky not a safe strategy but it will work for sometimes not at all..
Still now there is no the best strategy but choosing sports betting is one of the best to do because its easy to predict than the other game.

I think there is really no safer way in gambling than to bet small amounts, because if you can bet that we can just afford to lose it is okay to lose, But if we bet more money that we cannot afford to lose I don't think that was good.

Well ofcourse betting small amounts is better if you lose. But what if you win, you won't win much. The point of this discussion is to find some kind of method that he smart and works in the long term but so far nobody has been able to find the secret.
I don't think so, for me, if you win, you will still a winner even if that amount is not that much but it is also higher than what you bet so for me, you're still a winner if you win one time. But after you win make sure you stop because if you still continue, for sure you will just lose what you win.

Gambling is fine to play if you know how to treat gambling as well, we cannot gain profit in gambling in a long or short time. This is always base in our luck, so if we don't have luck we cannot win in our every game.
We can earn profit here also but not as good as you expected and if we win, it will just happen for a moment.
3527  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to stay away from gambling? suggestions ? on: August 11, 2016, 02:25:09 PM
make yourself busy with other things like basketball or other sport
thats true, if i usually dont want to gamble if im addicted then i just try to do some sports in order to attract my thoughts from it thats my strategy
Well, that's a good strategy also, cause making yourself busy or making yourself attract to some other things will help you forget your greediness in gambling. Because for sure, we can only just lose money in gambling.
3528  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When gambling makes you cry. on: August 11, 2016, 02:16:00 PM
Hello
Well I don't prefer gambling at all but once on Primedice someone tipped me some BTC and I went on rolling it at 1.1x multiplier. Just after 2 bets I lost it all. From that day I resolved never to gamble again.
Good Luck!!
Its a good thing you didnt gamble again, i used to play in primedice too and had lots of loses, but it did not stop me to play again because i want to get back my money and now i realized its not a good decision because i will end up penniless. though i didnt cry because of that i just promise to myself that i will gamble but with limitation.

Majority of users commits the same mistake if they loose at initial stage, they start gambling more hoping to recover their losses but unfortunately it never happens in fact they keep on loosing more and more.
Of course, because we don't want to stop gambling as loser, it is just normal to chase our bets but it is advisable to have a certain limits which majority of the gamblers also failed to understand, chasing our bets is just part of the strategy and it still requires discipline.
Not all people have the same mind set of yours, some people can accept the fact that they can also lose in gambling. We can stop gambling even if we are a loser in the end. But of course it is the best feeling if we won the jackpot in the end of our game, but let you think of this, after you win the jackpot would you stop for now? of course you don't cause for sure your thinking that you can also win again and again.
3529  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to quit Gambling for good? on: August 11, 2016, 02:00:58 PM
Once you decide you stand on it,in some circumstance it is you to decide the right thing to do.Focus on things that interest you,things that you think its the best remedy to stop your addiction in gambling.We are responsible enough in every decision we make in our life,choose what is best for you.
the suggestion you have made are too abstract , indecisive.

suggest something more specificly like , go fishing everytime you have a spare time. don't let yourself to see and access laptop or internet to go gamble online, do it everytime you want to gamble until you feel have forgot about gambling.

It is indeed quite fun than gambling, however I think it won't work if they don't want to eliminate all memory or thought about gambling. Addiction is quite difficult to be eliminated if only done in a way that is not concerned about the mind
so what is your suggestion to quit gambling and "eliminate" all your gambling memory? your babble will not help at all , go doing another hobby exclude gambling are the most suggested so far.

and if you do some research about this , you may will figured out how is this work or not.
True, for me, having another hobby or do some other stuff is also one of the best way to quit in gambling, just like when you want to move on on your past relationship, you need to be busy or to travel so that you can forget all the pain that gives them to you before, I think it is also the same from it, if you really want to quit in gambling.  Tongue Grin
3530  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your reason to gamble? Fun or profit? on: August 09, 2016, 11:25:50 AM
Do you gamble for fun or for profit?
90% fun, 10% profit.
From the point the % of fun goes under 40%, I think that gambling becomes a sickness or obsession.
Don't you think that there is more fun in gambling when you win your bets ?? And i believe that people play it for profit and when they win they enjoy gambling. If you loose then there is no fun in gambling Agree ??
HAHAHA! Yeah, I think some people will really agree with this. Because lots of people plays gambling with this scenario are very true, I also experience the feeling of this. When I win then there’s an enjoyment that I felt when in gambling but when I lose of course that is not enjoyable. hahahah!
3531  Economy / Marketplace / Re: What would you like to buy? on: August 09, 2016, 11:22:24 AM
If you will ask me, I want to spend it on NEEDS rather than WANTS. Because the things you need to live is one of the important things in your life. You need to buy them because you need them. Example of this is shelter, clothing, and also food. But if you want to buy some of your wants, then you need to secure first your needs if you actually acquired them. But nowadays, you need also to buy your wants.

We have the same perspective in life. Prioritizing the most important things first before buying less important things. Just make it sure that you'll provide and sustain the things in order to live like food shelter and health those are the most important then if you completely complete those things the it's the time to buy those wants.
Me too, I also have that thinking, because I don't want my family suffers just because I buy the thing that I want or do what I wanted. I will let them seeing happy before myself. Because for me, if I saw them happy that is double happiness for me.
3532  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: is gambling fix your life? or wreck your life? on: August 09, 2016, 11:19:49 AM
It hard to have control over ourselves once we are begin to play in regular basis. It is in human being nature to come under the influence of greed. I saw many people loosing enormous amount of money just because they wanted to recover like 0.02 or 0.05 BTC. Gambling will never fix anyone's life for sure but it has wrecked hundreds families lives which we can see around us easily.

Exactly, not only around us but if we have a glance over the world or any place in the world and if we find a gambler there he can surely share his sad story with us because gambling have been doing it from centuries, people sell their houses or in past before a lot of years people even used to sell their wives for gambling, what can be worst then that?
Is that possible to sell someones wives in gambling? I think that is a ridiculous idea of a desperate gambler, we gamble to make money for our family then it does not make sense if we are selling our wife for a certain amount of money and lose it again in gambling.
That's true, it is not the right attitude of a person that is really addicted in gambling. I think that person will do that needs a medication in brain cause I think those who will think that they will bet their wives are crazy people.
3533  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: August 09, 2016, 11:09:36 AM
Gambling is not wrong unless you play with correct intention. Whether you are playing to make money or just for fun. We can make good money if we play well.   
True gambling is not wrong as long as is done with the right intention. I think if the gambling is done with the intention to earn income is wrong because gambling is a game and should be done to have fun.

The problem lies with the fact that money is the main motivator to gambling and the casinos know this. You can't honestly say people gamble for fun  half the people who say that are just lying to themselves to excuse their behavior and loss.
Absolutely. The entertainment side is only an alibi when losing too much in gambling. They are just tricking themselves that they did it for fun so that the loss will not hurt so much.
Some people really treat gambling as an entertainment cause in my opinion not all people use gambling to earn money. Cause for them gambling is just like arcades I think depend on a gambling game, some arcade game you will just waste your money and no money in return but the enjoyment you felt is the one thing you get in it and that is your payment of your enjoyment the money that you buy a token. In some people they use gambling as like that, they pay for their enjoyment and if they lose that is fine cause they use their money intended only in gambling.
3534  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be considered as a Sickness!! on: August 09, 2016, 11:05:38 AM
Wrong, the very concept of this thread is wrong. IF you consider "gambling" a sickness, then you can consider a verb like "drinking" a sickness just because alcoholism exist. As you see, this is nonsense. Some people can gamble without getting addicted.
True, the subject of this tread I think it’s wrong, because gambling is a game and not a behavior or attitude. Gambling is not considered as a sickness. Addiction in gambling can consider as a sickness but not a gambling itself.
3535  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When gambling makes you cry. on: August 09, 2016, 11:03:18 AM
I've played with the gambling capital of 0.15 BTC . all gone in one day. I wondered why I did not stop when the money I left 50% of the total. but I knew it was a risk in gambling. I still like gambling regardless of the outcome it Smiley .

As long as you having fun and I certainly hope you can afford to gamble that that. 0.15 btc is a fair amount, losing that in a day is a large amount though I feel. Maybe you made it back ? Hopefully better days are ahead of you and you will recover your loss. Just keep your head about you and be careful.
playing gambling needs A prudent and alertness. we could lose a lot bitcoin in just a minute.
gambling is a game that requires intense concentration.
We don't need to concentrate if we really treat gambling just a game.
Gambling should be treated as a game and not to become rich or whatsoever.
We cannot get money in just one click; sometimes we lose all our money too because of gambling.
Don't let gambling to be your priority.
3536  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to stay away from gambling? suggestions ? on: August 09, 2016, 10:59:53 AM
Rehab is just a cure being addicted to something. He/she will get back to it if that what he/she really wants. It still depends on the person if he/she really want to quit from it. It is his free will what path to choose. No one can decide but only himself. If you can't stop gambling instantly then do it little by little until you are not addicted from it.
That's true, no one can dictate us except only ourselves, and we are only the one who can decide to ourselves. So if in our hearts that we really wanted to quit in gambling now. We can be successful to do it even if without the help of your family as long as you decide for yourself it can happen.

I agree only ourselves is going to help us from staying away from gambling. And if you can't then just ask someone for help so that they are going to help you and seek some medical help from experts about these kind of problems such as psychological problems. They are going to help you and going to give you good advice
yup! cause we all know ourselves and our own wants to our lives, we all wanted to become rich or just to have a better life, we gamble cause we want to earn money or we can have extra income in that day. But of course we cannot use gambling as our source of income, make gambling or treat gambling just a past time or an entertainment and I think everything will be fine.

But it is not the solution and way for your riches unless you are going to make it as a business then you are going to get rich with it. And I would say that it is better if you are going to focus something which is much profitable that you earn good enough amount of bitcoin like trading. It can be a platform to your way to riches.
Yeah i know that. Gambling is really not the solution for us to become rich, did I say that?
I said that we CANNOT use gambling as our source of income, there is really no consistent result when it comes in gambling.
3537  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is their any safe methods to gamble? on: August 09, 2016, 10:57:09 AM
what pro gamblers always to is of course to make up with their lose because in gambling losing money is always a part of it and if you let your emotions overcome your mindset then you will surely drawn

yes lost in gambling, it certainly. but in my opinion the pro gambler does not play it safe, they play a huge pot and sometimes took great risks as well to get great results. but yeah in gambling we have to keep playing safe,with have stable emotions and not greedy.
Professional gamblers I think they know what game should they play, cause professional gamblers play with strategy and there is no safe method in gambling for them cause they know that gambling is very risky and pro gamblers know how the game works, so that they call professional cause they are often to be a winner.
3538  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling made for kids???? on: August 09, 2016, 07:12:22 AM
So we should always aware for our children specially a parents like me, if what your children do when having on an Internet Cafe or in your own computer desktop. Always supervise them so that they will not be able to know about gambling when they are not in a right age yet.
Yeah good parents should do that, and I'm sure there is no parent who suggest their kids to gamble. But sometimes a restriction could make our kids become more curious and even want to try it when we are not around them.
yes i am also agree with you. kids should not be allowed in casino and they should not facilitate for gambling. because it is not good for their future. they should give full attention to their study.
They are actually not allowed to play gambling but with the advent of the online casinos now where we can gamble with the use of our bitcoins it is hard to determine if a certain player is a kid or not.
Gambling was made easy because of bitcoin and with that we cannot prevent kids from entering into gambling therefore parents should monitor their kids and should never let them access any sites that is related to gambling as we don't want our kids to be curious.
As long as parents can monitor their children, I guess they will never access the gambling site and parents should be the one who teach their children not to gamble, or if they don't know what is that just tell them do not mind it cause that is useless.
3539  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: August 09, 2016, 06:32:25 AM
Even you are going to bet smaller amount, because big things are starting from small things. That's why even betting small amount is going to make you addicted in it. Just like my example, if you are going to gamble small amount you are not going to think about it even you are going to lose because you can just bet again smaller until your fund is going to lose.
That's true, but for me, it is better for me to bet in small amounts, but I think if I bet all my money that are intended only in gambling in one game, I think it is also fine, as long as I just bet what I can afford to lose I think it is fine, but once I bet my money that is not intended in gambling, that will become gambling is bad at this time.
3540  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The best way to quit gambling for good on: August 09, 2016, 03:36:10 AM
i have in your situations in few months ago. first i make deposit in small amount like 0.001, then i play, after some played, i get loss almost 0.0008, then i am thinking that is it good if i make more deposit and can i recover my loss? then i am trying to deposit 0.002, after that, i am continue playing, and guess what, i loss everything in just 30 minutes before i realize that i am broke.

geezz, its a bad experience for me, and i am thinking maybe i am wrong to make second deposit, and do not realize that maybe i can loss everything and its proof when i loss 0.003 from all i deposite. after that, i am trying to not to deposite again, i am trying to learn from my mistake.

Better not to play then I think. The more you put in the more it hurts rather save it Smiley save for  0.01btc xD
But also do not worry so much it is only 0.003 it is ok. If it was 0.03 or even 0.1 that will be worse. So don't worry ^^
Yeah I think that is also fine, it is not but to lose money with 0.003 btc, if you are really thinking of it, I think you need to stop for playing gambling, cause if you do not quit early you can lose more than that.
