3581  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.

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.

We want to be deep and we don't want to be a loser and the saddest thing is we don't want to lose those money forever so the tendency is that we keep on gambling again. And this makes us addicted and we are not fully aware that this is real gambling, that we are starting to become addicted. Some will say, they are just trying to recover their lost money but they are not fully aware they are now addicts.

I would love to have that debit card but  I can't afford to use it daily because there's only 1 bitcoin ATM here in my country at this moment. And the sad thing about that is it's far from my location so it's not wise and it will be hassle for to use it so right now I still keep on depending with cash. It's a unique thing if I have those debit cards today but I can't help myself I'll wait on that day.
3586  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is better? To gamble or to invest? on: October 03, 2017, 12:33:09 PM
Although, investing could be considered like gambling, answer is simple for me. When invest, it's on you where will and on what will you invest. But when gambling, you depend on players who play matches, or from the system if you are in casino..

It's a gamble also actually the term is just the same. Both has no assurance of making money, when you gamble it's uncertain if you will win and when you invest. But it's a different a thing, in investment chances of making money is higher than gambling because there will be some different strategy that you could apply on that investment and while in gambling chances of losing is higher either.
3587  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Excuses on: October 02, 2017, 01:26:00 PM
Did you ever gamble with other's money to pay your own debts or otherwise to solve a certain problem through gambling?
I already experience that but im assuring that i will going to win the game because if not more problems come. Now i am avoiding gambling especially when i am in this kind of situation. Problem will be solve without any gambling involved.

There's no assurance that you can return the money you borrowed from your friend's money. There's an assurance if you are going to pay him but not coming from that original money you've got for gambling. This gives you an assurance that even when you collapse gambling or even when you lose a lot of money, you have savings and you can just simply it. But still it's unprofessional and impolite to do this.
3588  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your reason to gamble? Fun or profit? on: October 02, 2017, 12:09:22 PM
First , i came to gambling to having fun , good emotions when i'm watching the match. But then things are going to be more greed and then i play for profits, for earning money instead of having fun. Things are more dangerous when i'm losing all the money. From having fun, good emotions it becomes the bad ones, which leads me to doing some stupid things.

There's nothing wrong if you'll gamble only for fun but the fun starts when you are hitting green on your statistics and the balance on your account started to increase. I will always consider gambling to have fun but this isn't my focus now. I can have fun with some other things and that's why I gamble for profit but this is also annoying when I'm losing and there's no fun on it, this is the other side of it.
3589  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: October 02, 2017, 11:47:47 AM
Wade and LeBron, this two buddies will make the Cavs a lot more flexible and better overall.

But is it final already that D Wade is going to Cleveland?

Yeah that's done deal. He got promoted officially. I predict Golden State Warriors- Cleveland finals once again.


Promoted? you mean he officially bought out of Chicago and signed with Cleveland.

Don't know if Cleveland can make it to Finals this year, but no doubt GSW will.
I don't think so, the cavaliers are always dominating the East which gives them an easy way to the finals.
On the other hand, the warriors has a strong competition in the west the last season was easy for them because Kawhi was injured but a year back they have a hard time beating the Thunder and they lucky to get back from a 3-1 deficit if I still remember it right.

These two teams are in the same momentum so I guess that they are the ones that will face against each other in the finals. Dominating in the Eastern conference and with the western conference. This is a good addition to the Cavaliers but we don't know if there will be injuries, issues and dramas that are about to happen for each team. And who knows maybe an underrated team will be leading its way to the finals.
3590  Economy / Economics / Re: Jamie Dimon Calls Bitcoin A 'Fraud' on: October 02, 2017, 11:38:16 AM
All the negative people again. Saw this kind of news many times and most of the people are involved into direct and indirect financial system who hates bitcoin. Even politician now are hating it because they know how bitcoin can eat the treasure if they did not looked after it today. It can be chaos for bitcoin in first place due to all the money driven into bitcoin and people aren't taking any interest in there finances. That's just really simple to think about it.

They not really hate bitcoin, they just want to take another of their plans to get some more bitcoin. And before it looks very effective because that "fraud" thing was given when the ICO drama and ban of exchange in China was happening. But look on where we are today, that drama isn't stopping and the price of bitcoin is quite good and handsome at this moment. This is why I like bitcoin when someone says it's a fraud, expect peaks.
3591  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can trading be considered as gambling?? on: October 02, 2017, 11:23:04 AM
I  think it depends if you are just buying the coin without checking it or doing some research or background check,
Or if you are just new you could consider it as gambling .

It is a gamble if you really don't know what trading is and you just buy the coins that you wish and think that's going to pump in the future. That's why there are traders also that considering it is a gamble because there are no clear future plans for some alt coins that they'd bought. The only thing they knew about it is that they believe on that coin and it has the future and this is a gamble for them.

It's good to lay it off for a while. Especially if you find that you can't control yourself when gambling.

Yes, there's no other thing to do if you are finding trouble with yourself and gambling is the root cause of it. Sometimes lie lowing isn't about you are trying to forget it forever. Taking a rest for a while and then gets back to it when you are ready but just to make sure that you'll not do the same mistake again or else the sequence will be repetitive and in your part you'll still can't move on or else just find the things that will get your interest.

Boston            @9.00
Houston         @12.00
San Antonio   @13.00
Oklahoma      @21.00


I expect to see a final between Golden State vs Cleveland but much more balanced than last NBA


I don't want to see another finals with Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers. I want to see some other teams like Oklahoma Thunders, they have what it takes and they have the guts to be in the semi's - finals. I think it's unfair that you'll not include other teams with your choices as you are undervaluing them though this list seems to be legit. Chances of seeing GSW and CV is there but I want to watch just another finals.

As much as we like to have a new team vying for the ring this year, Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers are the likely front runner to go against it once more. Teams have upgraded, acquiring new members so that they can keep up with the two teams. However, it seems that they are the team to beat in the West/East conference. I didn't say that other teams have no chance to get into the finals, but the two has up the ante and the other teams need to catch up with them. We are almost on the beginning of the season. Let's see how Westbrook game would adjust, can he make triple double every game? How about Wade? or Rose on Cavaliers? Will they have the second wind to perform better this year because they have Lebron?

They are contenders and candidates again for this year's season. But it looks like we have a beast that will stay on his nature and will definitely have the potential to bring his squad up to the finals. And that's why I'm counting them to beat most of the teams that can bring them to semi's and not only there but also in the finals, excited to watch the start of this season.
3596  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you know when to stop? on: September 30, 2017, 09:33:52 PM
That's a very small amount of satoshi's you've got there if you are getting it from faucets. Good to know that you are a responsible student since you are not touching your allowance just to pursue your dicing desire. And the lesson you have shared here is very true, just don't use the important money you've got there just for gambling. And just stop if there's no need for you to gamble, take some rest that's it.

Some people are responsible gambler that know how to stop or even know what the amount that they will use to gamble. If they know how to control their gambling habit then everything will work out perfectly fine for them. It is hard to control the gambling habit once you are addicted so if you could control it right from the start then it is great

No doubt that there are responsible gamblers including me to that list of yours. I started to know when to stop as I experienced hardships and trials with financial matters because I don't manage my money / bitcoin properly. I used to focus only with gambling and forgetting my other important things to do. But life goes on, you'll learn from those mistakes and will lately know when to stop.
3597  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: lucky ! does it influences by a woman beside of us? on: September 30, 2017, 09:23:58 PM
This is true. For men, this is just human nature. I don't really think having a woman influences the 'luck' in any way though

Human nature is that we keep on believing with such superstitions that doesn't have an implied proof of existence. This is just happening suddenly and we don't have basis for this thing of having a woman beside you and you'll win. For some this is effective but others are even winning with vast amounts for not having a woman sitting beside them and gives them annoying suggestions to stop gambling.
3598  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can maths help you win in gambling ? on: September 29, 2017, 04:10:24 AM
Haha definitely will help you to prove nothing that in gambling with luck based games are going to give negative output for a longer time. And in games that you have to analyze Mathematics can help you to understand and analyze those games, situational processes and other things in gambling. But talking about Math in roulettes and other the same games, there's no way for us to win to those games with analysis.

You are obviously correct that maths cannot negate the effect of the house edge and nobody will ever devise a mathematical system that will. I still think that maths can help you, understanding and calculating the probability of various outcomes can lead to better decision-making. Also using maths for risk management will help preserve your bankroll. In the end applying maths won't make you win but it will make your money last longer.

Math is the source of random algo used to get the result on a probability game like dice. Therefore​ it can be beat by means of Math too. This is still impossible for now but in the future it can be crack by some genius gamblers that want to win. There are some experements ongoing on how to gain on probabilty base game.

You have the point about algo's but the sad fact today is no one is able to crack it. Still it's a random basis that has been computed but no one can get it. But I also believe that there will be the day when a genius gambler will find it out and will expose the strategy and this will be the time that the casino's are going to upgrade and improve their scripts as this will surely kill their business if it happens.
3599  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you know when to stop? on: September 29, 2017, 04:00:24 AM
Really i have no limits when playing gambling but i always stop playing because of the lack of budget.
Since i am still student and i have a limited pocket money that must satisfy all my spending.

You should not continue with that strategy when you gamble, you are losing a lot of things if you keep on gambling without limits. And while you are student don't get used to that thing because when you grow older, you'll bring that attitude of gambling without any limits. And don't also get used to it that you'll stop when you don't have budget anymore, you are really gambling it in the wrong way.

Ther are no strategy that is going to work and the only working strategy is to try to make a limit of what you are gambling. If you dont consider any limit at all then you will most likely spend alot of money everytime you play. So having limit is good to make sure that we dont overspend otherwise it is going to make us break the bank

Try to read what I'm trying to say. I'm stopping him with his strategy of only stopping when we doesn't have enough budget anymore. And look at his situation he didn't even know how to limit his gambling activity and that's why I'm telling him that he should discontinue that type of gambling. But if he wants to be bankrupt quickly then it's up to him if he's going to change his play style, I'm just worried about him.

When i was a student i don't gamble my allowance though i frequently go to online dice casino. I only play with faucet so that i'll not spend a cent from my allowance and if that faucet won then i will be glad and if that lose then i won't lose anything. What i am trying to say is while you are a student be wise not to gamble your money use it for emergency and if you cannot control that then you'll have to face the consequences that you might always lose especially with a low bankroll

That's a very small amount of satoshi's you've got there if you are getting it from faucets. Good to know that you are a responsible student since you are not touching your allowance just to pursue your dicing desire. And the lesson you have shared here is very true, just don't use the important money you've got there just for gambling. And just stop if there's no need for you to gamble, take some rest that's it.
