I think that in the future there will be a lot of different kinds of gambling with different methods of payment and types of winnings. Technologies do not stand still and gambling is also developing.

It's possible in the future because of the technology and more apps will be developed. Just like what I used to see on social media groups, there are people who are playing poker with their mobile phones and one of my friend is the promoter of it. I checked it out and it pays real money but they are still not into bitcoin though that development is something that really happened.

if you have an enough luck then you could manage yourself a lot of winning momentum. but if you don't get support from your luck then you might face a loss momentum. so in the gambling, you can't say boldly that you will never face a lose momentum. it is totally dependent on the luck.

There's no way to know if you have enough luck or you lack of it. And there's no way to manage yourself into a winning momentum, it is just coming to us unexpectedly. This is the life of a gambler, he doesn't know on how long he'll win and how long his going to be in that momentum you are saying. But when you are on that moment, just taste it and enjoy it but later on you'll lose.
3563  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can you tell if you are suffering from gambling addiction? on: October 07, 2017, 07:07:04 AM
It is like video games and masturbation addiction. You cannot just let it out. You always think about it and prioritize it. It is like getting attached to someone and getting used to them. You think that you cannot live without them. They are becoming the air you breathe. Anyways, signs of addiction are not hard to notice. If you can spend the day without thinking about gambling, you are okay. If you do not become greedy, you are okay because gambling teaches greedy and evolves it to the worse. That is why you should set limits for yourself.

I have those addiction, I can't stop to play video games but I think it's an addiction because I treat it more as of my hobby. It's real that you are an addicted gambler, if you can't help yourself that you can't let the day pass and you are not comfortable if you can't gamble then it's very obvious that you are an addicted gambling and you are suffering to it.
3564  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction. on: October 06, 2017, 09:28:06 AM
I think it's just the fact that in gambling, you can win instant money but you can also lose it instantly. Sometimes when we lose our money in gambling we tend to use additional money and gamble it to bring our losses back and the money will be lost again until we are not aware that we are already addicted on gambling just because we already spent a lot of savings going nowhere just for fun.
Winning instantly but in return you can also lose instantly. Gambling addiction is a problem that we are dealing with but if you realized that we can't be the same for the rest of our lives. You'll do something just to forget and overcome the addiction you are dealing with. Think about your future and if you can't see good future in gambling just leave it and try to look some other career and things to do.
3565  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Trading vs Gambling on: October 06, 2017, 08:27:20 AM
The fact is that gambling and trading have so much in common that it is difficult to differentiate between the two.

The successful gambler and the professional trader will both use a combination of education and experience with correct money & risk management to make profitable trades / wagers.

It really comes down to a question of semantics.

They have similarity and common in terms of the risk but gambling is much high in risk. You mentioned about professionalism on gambling and trading, education is needed and they'll be sure to apply those things they have learned and experience on their career. And if others are thinking to compare gambling and trading, we don't have to do it both has it's own beauty and disadvantages.

Only few more sleeps left and we'll see the first match up Boston Vs. Cavs & Rockets Vs. GSW.
Is it a coincidence that the rival team does have the same schedule and on the very first day of the regular season? Is anyone here still predicting that Cavs Nation will be meeting up again with the Warriors in the finals? Any good news out there with the current roster and preseason updates as I haven't watched it until now. I'll watch it when I get home maybe the replay ones.
3567  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: October 06, 2017, 12:35:53 AM

It usually happens when a gambler loses, he mostly blame the casino's, his fortune, luck and not even considering himself when he's losing. And in that case, he's treating that gambling is very wrong but in the first place he should blame himself for gambling, it's not that right to say that thing because he must be the one that should show to others that gambling isn't right, nor wrong. We are the ones who are playing and there's no other one to blame for it.


I was like that as well at first because I think that the house is cheating but eventually I come to my sense as I read more about casino site. It is not about cheating or not but we wont be able to win in the long term so there is no way to get money. If we know that there is no way to get money then we should not be playing for profit at all

It's an immature act if we usually think that the house always cheat. They are a business entity and they need to operate for the sake of their profit and business and that's why there are some percentage per bet, like in sports bet there are odds and in dice games there is provably fair. Playing for profit also isn't a wrong thing, we tend to find a way to earn but playing for profit and you are not ready with the consequences then that's a wrong move.
3568  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: can gambling give you lessons in life? on: October 06, 2017, 12:23:54 AM
I guess so. Maybe the lesson you'll get is that after losing all your money, it will make you realize that gambling isn't good . You'll be depressed if you lose all your money. You feel happy when you win, but when you lose, depression will take over your happiness and then you'll regret why you gamble. So, to those who have not yet tried to gamble, you're now aware what will be the outcome when you gamble.



You will just find out the lesson in gambling when you lose. You can't regret in the beginning and you can't find lessons there. And once you gamble with all of your money, you'll realize and get a lesson that you should be gambling only with the amount you afford to lose. There are so many gamblers and tipsters here that keeps on reminding that you should only gamble with the amount you can attain to lose.

Nope, you can just find out the lesson on gambling if you watch people losing and learn from them.  It does not necessary need to  experience losing before learning from gambling.  Learn from other mistakes, that is the best way of learning.  Experiencing it yourself might be devastating so it would be better to learn from other experience.

You can learn from watching them but you can't learn the lesson alone if you won't experience it personally. There are curious gamblers that aren't contented enough to learn from the mistakes and experiences of others. And instead of looking at those points they are trying it alone and will just find it out that those experiences from others are helpful. They will finally regret that in the end and will say, only if I learned from their mistakes.
3569  Economy / Economics / Re: Difference of Trading and Investing? on: October 06, 2017, 12:15:01 AM
Well im confused since for me trading is a way to invest, soo i dont see any real difference, since you put your money at risk expecting to roi after some period, depending of the nature of your investment, like casino bankroll you will earn money just by funding those, while at trading you need to buy and sell the coin to get profit besides those i dont see any difference.

I'm not confused that trading is a type of investment and I'm been arguing with my friends about this matter too. They keep on telling that trading is different in investing, because in investing that it's a way of you'll just do nothing and put your money into a certain company and they will use that fund to grow it, like in cooperatives and banking services. I just really can't get what they are trying to say.
3570  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why Is Bitcoin Gambling Industry So Successful in the World? on: October 06, 2017, 12:07:31 AM
Because you gonna be always loser,that's the plan,the plan of casinos
That's not their only plan of letting their gamblers lose all the time. There are some strategies that they let someone win with big amount so that he will attract other gamblers to play on that casino. And once he brought up many gamblers that will be the recovery time for the casino's by always taking the favor for those gambling games they manage that's why I only play with those games that are provably fair.
3571  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Benefits from Gambling on: October 05, 2017, 07:24:43 PM
There are not many benefits you will be able to extract from gambling but some honourable mentions are you learn how to control your money, in our normal life we might see a investment opportunity or something which will give us really good returns we should not go all in we should instead invest parts of your income same for gambling we should never play with everything but try with less income

The investment part is only with the casino bankrolls but don't think that it's an investment when you have deposited to your balance in gambling site. Many are mislead with that thing that they are investing into a gambling site by just doing that and gamble with that money. And that's the only benefit I can see in gambling is when you are an investor, you'll just wait for the profit you have invested to their bankroll.

3573  Economy / Economics / Re: Tell me your predictions about Bitcoin on: October 05, 2017, 07:07:21 PM
My predictions about bitcoin is become more popular around the world. Bitcoin will survive for many years from now because its more indemand and good value. It improves the economy and give solutions to the people with financial problem. Bitcoin price will increase in the future, and the price is stable and all country legalize bitcoin. It has potential and most popular currency and continue to grow. In the future most of people are already invest and earn in bitcoin.

It will happen and it all started. Bitcoin's popularity is starting to increase, the survival of bitcoin is there and for sure the price will show on how the demand is very high once we are many in bitcoin. There will be some minor challenges that many will think it's a big problem for bitcoin, just like what happened with the fees but after the lightning network is was all setup and the fees now are all cheaper. The fees in the future will also keep on becoming cheaper.
3574  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: October 05, 2017, 06:55:24 PM
Yes gambling is wrong because it is a loss of money we can not win all the time we are not lucky for all the time.I prefer trading and good investment instead of betting.

It's not the fault of gambling if you are losing money when you gamble. You shouldn't lose money if you are not going to gamble and besides I really find gambling isn't wrong at all. We are the ones that are thinking that it is wrong because we don't have others to blame for our mistake but the real thing is we are the ones that are having a wrong decision when we are gambling. If the game was intense, we tend to gamble in rage mode that leads us to loss.
We have to understand our chances and the risk before we gamble so that blaming game will not happen, we will not blame gambling if we understand and it's stupid to think that we are cheated and we blame gambling for our loses. Actually a gambler has to be aware that the house has an edge so what will happen is we will lose in the end, they are not cheating, they just win because they have advantage over us.

It usually happens when a gambler loses, he mostly blame the casino's, his fortune, luck and not even considering himself when he's losing. And in that case, he's treating that gambling is very wrong but in the first place he should blame himself for gambling, it's not that right to say that thing because he must be the one that should show to others that gambling isn't right, nor wrong. We are the ones who are playing and there's no other one to blame for it.
3575  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does anyone have ever tried betting with cryptocurrency in offline card game? on: October 05, 2017, 06:31:42 PM
That's a good way of gambling personally together with those people whom you know. I haven't done this before but I'm thinking about that the payment will be sent after the game or there will be some laptop on your side and every game done the payment should be sent quick to the winner or to it's respective winners. This is fun, you might talk about decimals when you are betting.
3576  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to quit Gambling for good? on: October 04, 2017, 06:58:11 AM
Everything depends on the intentions and seriousness, nothing is impossible if a want to quit gamling, if we think it's hard to quit gambling then we could ask family or friends to remind us to quit gambling.

That's what we need, we need to be serious with our intentions of quitting gambling for good. Because when we are not serious and not really willing to quit gambling, we tend to say that it's hard to quit gambling but if you are willing and you want to pursue to quit in gambling then you just need to look for so other things where you can convert your time that you are putting in gambling. Having a close family and friends is also a big help to quit for real.

3578  Economy / Economics / Re: Where did you first heard about Bitcoins? on: October 04, 2017, 06:29:34 AM
Reading through a number of these posts, I find it very interesting that the vast majority of people here on the forum found out about bitcoin either from friends or family.  Not too many people seem to be saying that they heard about it on the news first.  I'm a little surprised, as bitcoin became quite widely publicized back in 2013.  But I guess that goes to show how powerful word-of-mouth can be.

I admire those people that are able to know bitcoin way back on 2013 or even earlier because on that time I'm doing nothing in my life and I just keep on having fun with my pleasures. But good thing that I came to know bitcoin way back earlier 2015 and my friend has told me on how he's earning with bitcoin and I thought he's a crazy one because I never heard what bitcoin is but upon realizing bitcoin is real.
3579  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What was your biggest casino win? on: October 04, 2017, 06:21:18 AM
Dating a few years back when BTC was around $350 a coin, I won a 2 BTC pot on Primedice with 49.5% win chance. Although I went on to lose it in the next session, it was my biggest win in a single bet. Still regret having gotten greedy at that point but oh well, it was all gone in seconds.

Wow that's a good amount way back then were you able to keep those 2 bitcoins? That's a lot of money right now if you are able to save those coins back then.  I can't remember on how much is the biggest win I've got if I can remember it was around $50 converted or equal to bitcoin and that came from only playing non-stop with dice game with plus the sports betting that I made.
3580  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: October 04, 2017, 06:06:57 AM
Because our brains are already overshadowed by big dreams that gambling present us so we go back to gamble. Lose or win just the same, we will keep coming back and back, until finally we realize that much has been lost yawning because of gambling.

We are brainwashed, is this what are you trying to say? Probably yes, because we keep on thinking that the big wins from other gamblers can possible happen to us. And that's why everyone of us are keep on gambling and it is making us an addicted gambler. This is not new, gambling is very addicting just like the usual type of addiction from other things and I don't want to mention any of them, you all know it.

It is the temptation of the money gambling offers. A study about addiction have concluded that gambling addiction is far worse than being a druggy

The temptation of money isn't with gambling only but I didn't knew it that gambling offers far worse addiction the drugs. Thanks for this information as I thought that addiction in drugs is more severe and worse, do you have any link on that study? Gambling is just really addicting the way it is and it's naturally making each and everyone of us addicted and wants us to gamble most of the time.

That's correct, the temptation of trying to make more money and especially trying to recover what has been lost gets people nose deep into gambling and they become addicted.
I'm totally agree with you. I have such example in my family and that's just terrible how far people may go with the wish to return everything that has been lost already.
The most sad think that there is not a chance to escape this and hard forms of gambling addiction, unfortunately, uncover itself when it's too late.

You did it in your family? There is a chance to escape this addiction and you just need to remember that gambling is not forever. If you want to have a decent life and not in gambling, think on how many times you fall in gambling addiction and think if you want to stay living in that miserable life of failure, only if you are keep on failing in gambling because some addicted gamblers are having good fortune.
