Although we use our best analysis and strategy, but in fact it never guarantees we get the profit by the time trading, and this is proof that in the trading is same with speculation so that the chance of a profit and loss statement is also the same.

It's doesn't matter if you will use the best analysis and strategy as it is both useful for trading and gambling. Traders will be traders and gamblers will be gamblers there's no comparison that should be done for these two activities. We know that profit in trading can be great and as well as in gambling so if you are doing both and you are a very lucky guy then it's up to you on what you will prioritize.

You should buy house whether the price of bitcoin goes up or not. If you have a lot of bitcoins regardless of the price of bitcoin, just buy your home own. This is the best investment that you can ever avail with your bitcoins and while seeing your house you are seeing your profit and hard work in bitcoin. It's a dream of every person to have his own house so you should really buy your own when the price goes up.
3603  Economy / Economics / Re: If you have a lot of bitcoin, should you spend it or save it? on: September 28, 2017, 01:35:01 PM
If I have a lot of bitcoin in my wallet I would save it and take some money for my expenses,
I will only cash out the amount of money needed for the time being .

I'm going to save it too but not all of it. A bigger part will be saving as it will be my own personal asset and investment. While putting a small amount into trading so that I'm going to have my trades as I don't want to miss the chance of earning good profit with trading. And when I earned enough, those coins will be re-invested and I'm going to buy the stuffs that I need since I've got a lot of bitcoin. So I prefer to do both things,
3604  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: September 28, 2017, 12:58:51 PM
Gambling is not a bad thing as long as you know your limitation and priority. Dont blow up your hard earn money just for gambling. Treat gambling like any other entertaiment, play just for fun not to make profit out it..cause the odds of winning are very low and it requires massive amount of luck that majority of us dont have.

But that's the thing that gamblers are forgetting. We don't set a limitation and priority because our priority is to make money. I can't see gambling as wrong because it's a real business just like those fastfood chains that we are eating. And this is like this, so when we eat to those fast foods then we are doing wrong immediately? so in gambling when we gamble we are already doing it wrong? that's the logic I'm trying to say that gambling is not really wrong.
3605  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can maths help you win in gambling ? on: September 28, 2017, 12:21:33 PM
Maths will definitively help you to prove that there are no profitable method for the player in simple gambling games based on luck/randomness (dice, roulette...)

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.

Nuno find a new hobby that will not lead to loss of money or you can play gambling on a demo account to enjoy the process, but do not lose money. And it is even better to invest in gambling sites in order to constantly make a profit.

Much better just find a new hobby where you can dedicate most of your time there. And instead of gambling all day long do that hobby all along with your time. It can be good if you find interest together with other people so that you can have an easy way to give up gambling. Try to search and look for your interest where you did miss of doing it, like biking and other sports that can get your attention.
3607  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you know when to stop? on: September 28, 2017, 05:54:31 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.
3608  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to quit Gambling for good? on: September 28, 2017, 04:49:49 AM
personally, out of gambling that must come from yourself, not with the way and the advice of others, because if your thoughts remain in gambling it will be hard to do.
 

Advice from others can help because an addicted gambler can't think correctly because he is only thinking about on how he can win the game, on how he can recover his losses and on how he can make more money with gambling. Help from others are very helpful if you are going to think about quitting gambling for good because you'll have them to guide you because you can't do it alone, I've been there.
3609  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What would you do with your winnings? on: September 27, 2017, 05:00:49 AM
Winnings can not make a person rich if he does not have the experience of managing big money, but in case of a big win I would try to open my own business in order to make constant profit.

It can make him rich if he is winning big amount. The point of handling money is true about it and most of the gamblers when winning they are just adding that amount to their current bankroll. As for others they are buying the things that they want because they are thinking it's going to be once in a blue moon and it's good in their feeling to have a remembrance from their winning.

The idea of taking home the jackpot is very attractive to me. I just give it a try and I don't gamble like an addicted casino player. It's a type of game where you bet a small amount and you could win 10x or 50x by picking a color. I really like those types of games because it gets me excited.

It's attractive but the sad reality of it is that it's hard to achieve this type of goal in gambling. Addiction starts there with that "try" I admit that I also think that way before because there's a lot of experience I had in gambling. Those examples from my experiences are really attracting because seeing people hitting jackpot makes you think that it is also possible to happen to you once you gamble and pursue it.

The possibility to win 10x, 50x or even more, which being offered by gambling often tickles the minds of some people to try it out. People wants a lot of money the easy way. And if we think it deeper, such a thing does not exist in this world, and if it exist, it will happen very rare.

Curiosity is one factor and I also felt that thing when I wanted to try out those times that was offered by the house and it's really encouraging to gamble even you are in the middle of continuing and stopping. But I can't understand on the last part of what you have said, those things that probably you are thinking are existing but it's not applicable to all of us. You are right it can happen occasionally but if it's for you, it will happen.
3612  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think you are a gambling expert? on: September 27, 2017, 04:06:25 AM
If you win a lot of money fair and square while gambling, you will be considered an expert. However, if you cheat and win, you will also be considered an expert. As a matter of fact, methods and rules do not matter. What matters most is the result. So either way, you will be called an expert. You cannot win without having skills and strategies. Don't call it luck because I disapprove of that idea. Being expert is both skills and strategies.

Nope, it's not what we call a gambling expert. Just because you have won with a fair and square way in gambling? There are gamblers who are winning that way and they don't treat themselves as an expert. You know how to spot a real gambling expert? We can identify them in the most difficult part of their gambling career, on how they are going to deal with that difficult situation like gambling with their final fund.
3613  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can gambling be profitable in long term ? on: September 27, 2017, 03:47:12 AM
no earning profit from gambling for long run is really impossible especially if you are gambling on the same site if you switch sites there is a chance that you remain profitable. Investing in gambling site is always profitable in the long for sure

Some gamblers are good with earning in gambling in the long run. Those who are used to lived with their lives and are depending with gambling. Also for those people that are in gambling investments, those are the ones who can make gambling as profitable source of income. But saying that gambling can be a profitable source of income in the long term this is a risky thing and it's only happening to a small percentage of gamblers.
3614  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: September 27, 2017, 03:02:53 AM
Howdy people, so the rumor is real about the practice game together with Dwayne Wade and Lebron James as he signs contract with the Cavaliers. I was not shock anymore with this news but the Cavaliers are really want to take the championship slot for this season. They really not going to give let other teams only the ones that will change their roster and wanted to strengthen their team.
Read the source here http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/20824865/dwyane-wade-close-deal-cleveland-cavaliers
I believe this is the best response by the Cleveland Cavaliers to losing the NBA finals last season, Kyrie Irving is not going to make it to any NBA finals for the rest of his life, It was really coward move for him to leave the Cavaliers but as long as they got  Isaiah Thomas i will call that a very wise acquisition on the part of the cavaliers.

Nice trade for them for Kyrie Irving, having gap between teammates will affect their gameplay and this is a good help for Lebron James they can play better now. I'm going to take a look at their standing if they'll be the same with GSW that has few lose.

Dwayne Wade agrees to one-year $2.3M deal with the Cavs.

This is great, love to see him and Lebron back together, probably starting five will be:
1 Isaiah Thomas
2 Dwayne Wade
3 Lebron James
4 Kevin Love
5 Tristan Thompson

I dont see the Celtics going to the finals this year.

Plus, more talks about DeMarcus Cousins going to the Cavs.

And what's more bad news in here? Is that Kyrie Irving is just relaxing on his home watching how his ex-team is playing well in the finals.
3615  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: September 26, 2017, 12:12:07 PM
I have no idea that Kendrick Perkins is now on Cleveland Cavaliers. A good choice since no doubt that somehow Perkins can be a good asset at inside stuffs. He is known for having a stronghold position at the paint whenever on offense and defense. And we have seen that during his Boston Celtics (on which he won a championship) and Oklahoma City Thunder (reached Finals) days.

Also Cavaliers really needs people at that position so it's a good choice.



I witnessed on how this big guy played since before he was on Boston Celtics. I loved on how he play under the ring. And this makes the Cavaliers stronger now together with the hearsay about Wade's transfer to Cavaliers so what do you think with this team? I'm having a big guts that they'll get the championship for this year though it's still early to assume or I might eat my words again.
I hope he still can prove again, I guess he is part of the championship team Boston Celtics when they won in 2008 but he was injured that time.
This guy is good in rebounding and can dominate inside but due to injuries his ability is not that good anymore, deep bench can help in any way so good luck to the team, I hope they will get their revenge this year.

Yes he's part of Boston Celtics when he won his championship on that team. I can remember that thing as I was still on highschool by that time and they are against Los Angeles Lakers that time. My classmates are even tuning at that moment bringing old mobile phones that has TV on it. I like on how Perkins is doing defense, just like what I said, he's a tough guy and he has the guts to be a defender.
3616  Economy / Economics / Re: I want to invest 1000 USD into crypto on: September 26, 2017, 12:02:40 PM
Alright, let's say I have a budget of 1000 USD and I want to invest it into cryptocurrency. Is it better to buy my own setup and mine or do cloud mining or should I buy some coins directly ? What cryptocurrency might be the best for long-term profit ? I am willing to lose that money (although I would be sad ofc) but I wanna somehow start with cryptos since I believe it has got a great future.

Investing in cloud mining is a bad idea, why would you waste that $1,000 there? The contract isn't fair for you because you'll not recover that amount quickly and try to trade that amount so that you can earn better. Go at bittrex and try to look at what are the most bought coins and also you can refer to www.coinmarketcap.com so that you can have an idea what are the best coins to buy.
3617  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction. on: September 26, 2017, 11:27:03 AM
Some people say it is inevitable to become addicted to Gambling, but the reality is just a matter of self-control and awareness of when to stop. It does not have to be addictive if you know certain things about it.
So, addicted gamblers are only those who lack expertise in self-control and lack awareness when to stop.

It is inevitable if you are gambling everyday and you don't have other things to do but only to gamble. Saying that it is just about self-control and giving yourself a limit in gambling is easy with our words. But if you came to the point that you are experiencing hardship to win and you are focusing on winning, you'll notice that you are starting to become addicted and you'll remember that it's not an easy thing to quit gambling.
3618  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do small investments make sense? on: September 26, 2017, 10:33:24 AM
For me, it will still make sense. All investments make sense, as long as we take care of our investment and always monitor the price. It will still worth it to wait just be patient.

Every amount counts in investment and all things are starting from lowest before it go to the highest. And if you are a person that's very positive with things and you have a small investment and you are working hard for it don't get yourself wrong because all of our efforts are paid off in the end. The harder you are going to work then that small investment can grow so it will give you more desire to invest as your small investment is now making sense.

Exactly, there's nothing like small investment because what you consider small today might be big tomorrow . I think with investment all you need is the will to start and not the amount to start with and so to me every amount so long as it's eligible to start the said investment makes sense to me.

Just like bitcoin, it was not treated big before as the value of it is very small but look on it's growth today. The price of bitcoin now is very high and many people are feeling sorry of not buying this "small" thing before way back years ago. That's why if we are valuing smaller things, then we are worthy to receive bigger things. That's the reason why many people are starting their career in investments with smaller amounts.
3619  Economy / Economics / Re: Is trading just educated guessing? on: September 26, 2017, 10:07:25 AM
In trading, one needs to follow the news a lot and learn to analyze, rather than rely on someone's forecasts to constantly get a good profit. For this, it is necessary to study the specifics of such activities well.
Analysis is what you need to do in trading. It's not just an educated guess but there is analysis on it, news from the people who are in the pump and dump group are also helpful. But I guess there are traders who are just depending with their fortune and luck that are just guessing on what alt coin will be pumping and what are goes those are good for short term profit and also for long term holdings.
