If we know we are good at gambling and feel there's a pure winning chance, then giving a shot with an altcoin shouldn't be an objection because alts will surely rise in the future and if we have the courage to bet big in alts, then it's more of an opportunity and grabbing it should not be a problem. My first choice will still be bitcoins because nothing can beat bitcoins in the end. Wink

I have some alts on hold and if I'm not in that good time to gamble with my bitcoin because it's quite being low at this moment or with the same scenario, I'm not going to gamble with my bitcoin. There are a lot of alt coins that I can choose to gamble and every casino does have their own choices for the alt coins which is in favor to us.
For me, I could easily gamble with altcoins if I feel the need to play, it does not affect my holdings because I can easily buy and just play.
Gambling with altcoins will give you an advantage for cheap transactions but not all sites are accepting altcoins so we are force to gamble with bitcoin.
Actually I am also a holder of altcoins, I love to diversify my investment with altcoins because they are also profitable.

I just simply don't want to buy with my spare money if I do have some holdings. I want also to win and grow my alt coins the same with my bitcoin and I feel it as a safe haven when I do gamble with my alt coins. It's one of the good thing in gambling with alt coin, you'll pay cheaper fees in transaction and that's why sometimes it's also good to gamble with alt coins but others don't want it.

3663  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: September 13, 2017, 02:03:18 AM
So this is true? I saw a facebook NBA page and said that Dwyane Wade is now on Cavaliers and signed a 1 year, 5.2M contract. And I tried to research about it if that's true and I found this video http://hoopshype.com/storyline/dwyane-wade-to-cavaliers/ Lebron and Wade playing together. Any confirmation here and reliable source?

I watched the video, it's hard to assume or speculate if there is no confirmation about that rumors. Rumors will be rumors if there is no real contract signing or maybe Wade shows some interest to play with Lebron. I only see that these two players are still buddy if they are in different team, we only think that Wade will jump on Cavs because of this video.
3664  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why we still gambling while we always lose? on: September 13, 2017, 01:44:37 AM
there are typical people who use gambling just for fun. when they lose they will not think of the balance that has been lost and will return again when bored and need fun. there are also who rely on gambling as this income is a person who can not escape from gambling every day.

And those people who only gamble for fun doesn't really care on how much they lose and they have an idea on what they want. They want fun and if they win they will become happier but if their goal is only to have fun, it's one of the legit reason why some are still gambling while they are losing. But if that's happening to me and it's very unusual as I keep on losing, having a break is a solution.

the fun they feel is not the same as any other activity and i have different feels too when i can win the games even if i always lose, i think i still can enjoy the games and not complaining my loss. as long as i can get fun especially if i can enjoy the games with my friends, then i am fine and i don't feel too sad.

And I have respect for those people that are gambling for fun. True, the feeling is different for doing other activities that they can never find in other activities. For experienced gamblers, losing is inevitable and we are all aware about that. We just tend to think again that we can recover those losses next time if we will gamble again.
3665  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are the Big Gambling sites paying taxes? on: September 13, 2017, 01:25:55 AM
I know most of the gambling websites that wants to be recognized by their country needs to be registered for compliance according to the law. But since there is no law about crypto currencies, they are not obliged to pay for the operation unless the country is recognizing the worth of crypto currency. But the gambling site can pay tax voluntarily, I don't know what's the answer on this.
3666  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you use analysis when play gambling? on: September 13, 2017, 01:06:58 AM
Just want know how much the gamblers who use analysis when play gambling and what kinds of gambling game? And do you think it is needed or not making analysis on gambling game or it is depend on lucky. Thanks for share your opinions and experience.
Yes i really do analysis when i am playing gambling also in the game of poker, so i could if my opponents are bluffing or have a awful cards. Doing a analysis in poker is a great strategy because it will really give you a chance to win but sometimes it always depend on your luck for you to win.

I find it easy to do analysis in poker but for the physical poker game because I can't analyze in front of my desktop with seeing the face of my opponents. I mostly do analyze the facial expression of my opponents which is an easy way to know if your opponent is just bluffing with his raise or not. But there are some experts that you can't analyze their facial expression.
3667  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: the future of gambling on: September 13, 2017, 12:30:25 AM
I think the future of gambling is using cryptocurrencies and it will definitely phase out fiat gambling. Because in fiat gambling it is super hard to deposit, withdraw and other funds management because of the KYC policies of gambling sites. That is totally eliminated by adopting cryptocurrency into gambling sites. It also speeds up transaction in and out of the gambling site, which is good for the casinos and the players.

Seeing the future with phase out fiat gambling is possible but it won't happen for the next 10 years or even 20 years. It's what we call traditional gambling, there will be gamblers who are going to choose the digital gambling and there are some who loves to gamble in physical casino's gambling out their own cash, the experience are different.
I completely agree on this one because not all people do have the same interest when it comes to gambling some may like to play gambling on online basis some may play on physical casinos which cant really be removed specially to those persons who do play on this place for how many years and as you said experience is really different among the two fields.

There are some big time gamblers that doesn't want to let themselves expose their wealth in internet even they know that bitcoin is anonymous still they don't want to rely on it. Many wants to remain the same with the old type of gambling. I'm not into physical casino's but I know that they have different experience and many chose to stay on the physical ones.

Paper money was disappering even before bitcoin, now with all the crypto moneys, i dont see any future for paper...

Future of paper money is foreseen by anyone who's into crypto currency or a person that is expert in finance. Too sad that the money that we used to use before since we were a child is now going to be gone in the future. Seeing PayPal before is the start of it and now crypto currency is another way to make those paper money gone.

I don't think that the paper money will gone soon, maybe we have a crypto currency or paypal, but it is another way to pay what we want, but cash is always here and for our future, it will not change ,paper money is still we need for our daily needed.

We don't have an idea on when it will be gone. If you are aware of the cashless society the future of paper money will be changed by those payment methods that we are using now. The idea is there and it's like a hint that we have a fast innovation and technology keeps on upgrading so I wouldn't doubt if one day every transactions doesn't need paper money anymore.
3670  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever gambled to escape worry, trouble,boredom,loneliness, grief or lose on: September 12, 2017, 11:23:47 AM
There's no exact reason why I gamble. As a gambler and that is gambling for a specific reason, you know it already guys and that is gambling for profit. I'm just avoiding those feeling like grief and I'm not going to gamble if I'm not feeling well. I usually gamble when I'm feeling well as my goal is for the profit and not just to ease stress or escape something.

Oh, come on!--> Nobody's seen the "The Cincinnati Kid" around here? Steve McQueen? Ann-Margret?  

Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DA9AeDFv7-c

It's an all time great!

Spoiler --> the ending: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UI6pSkIs_tc

A must see!


Will check this out. I just watched ocean's eleven., a star studded production yet still have some learnings on this movie. We can see the effects of gamnling in one's life, in his personality, family and friends. Being too greedy and aiming to have everything in illegal ways will never lead to a bright future. It's worth watching.

You know what guys, I'm watching youtube videos about pawnstars and there's a car that has been used by Steve Mcqueen and sold it. And I'm not into movies but after reading that it's about Steve McQueen it gave me an interest, thanks for this. I had watched the spoiler and it's giving me a thrill to watch it more. I'll put this on my bucket list when I had enough time.

3673  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can gambling help you with your life? on: September 12, 2017, 10:22:32 AM
Gambling can only help with your life if you get extremely lucky & win big. People just need to be responsible & only gamble with money that they can afford to lose. 
That's what everyone thinks and knows but one thing is for sure that gambling could serve as an example of an addiction that isn't easily recognizable at first glance. I hope there would be help for those who really need it.

Financially, gambling can help you but like LFC said only if you get extreme luck when you gamble. We had to admit that in this way gambling is helping us with our lives. We can deny but we can't remove the fact that everyone gambles because of the hope that we want to get a good amount as we gamble. But that's not easy because we may go into a lot of troubles before becoming lucky.
3674  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If money would not be a problem, would you still gamble? on: September 12, 2017, 10:05:26 AM
Maybe yes but as an occational gambler only that want to seek for fun or just gambling for entertainment. It's nice to relax and gamble with beer at your side. Winning in gambling while doing it for entertainment is much more fun. I will just gamble with enough funds and not to spend all my money.

That feeling is the best, relaxing with your friends and family enjoying that money and you will not think what to eat tomorrow or where you'll get the money you'll use to gamble. I'm not going to quit gambling when I'm in that good life but priorities first before gambling. Spending some spare money with gambling isn't bad when you don't have any problems with money.
3675  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you a problem gambler? on: September 11, 2017, 06:59:17 PM
I used to see myself as a problem gambler when I first started my gambling days I cannot stop thinking about gambling and spends more time gambling I did not mind losing money because I was having too much fun until I realize one day that I am losing almost all of my saved money. After that I tried my best to lie low because I don't want to make things worst. Now I can tell that I can manage to control myself I still do gamble but with moderation.

Mate, you're completely addicted to gambling. Base on your explanation before that you don't mind losing and you spend more time in gambling that's a problem for every person who just gamble. But the best part of your story is that you are able to resolve that problem by lie-lowing and congratulations with that achievement.
3676  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to quit Gambling for good? on: September 11, 2017, 06:45:50 PM
I think the right time to quit the gambling is when we lose money in gambling because in that case, we used to hate gambling because we lost money in gambling. I think some people cannot control their feeling even after losing but people who can control their feeling will quit gambling.

We should hate ourselves and stop gambling if we are only losing our money that came from your hard work. We don't hate gambling, we are hating ourselves when we don't have any win or we are losing more with our capital. And its right that not all the people does have the talent to control their feelings and can't stop themselves in gambling.
3677  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think you are a gambling expert? on: September 11, 2017, 05:45:50 PM
No I'm not going to tell or claim that I'm an expert, it's better to say that I'm just an amateur and wants to learn more from other "professional" and experts in gambling. Most of the time, I'm only lucky when I'm winning and some analysis of mine are also lucky to be in exact but not because of it, I'm not going to boast and say that I'm an expert.
3678  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: September 11, 2017, 04:57:49 PM
someone in bitsler has won 26 BTC in gambling , i think you couldn't win that such number of bitcoin if you don't take risks

Exactly, you won't get to win that amount if you aren't ready to take some risk. And in simplest word, you will not win if you will not bet. And there's nothing wrong with this philosophy as long as you are the one that's responsible with your losses. You aren't going to blame others with your mistake and misfortune but kudos to this guy 26 bitcoin isn't a joke.
26 BTC is a very huge amount, there is no denial in it but still I won't be tempted by this. There are people who have even made millions of dollars by gambling but the fact is they are very rare, merely 0.001 percent of whole gambling population maybe or even less. I will go for more reliable methods. The guy was lucky this time but won't be same every time.

That's the hard part of it, the temptation. The way of thinking that you've got a lot of bitcoins now and you can gamble for so long. And you won't be having any problem with finance because you've got a lot of bucks. People like this are very few, they are the lucky ones and it's not wrong for them to gamble anymore as they experienced it alone.

When you have so much for bankroll, you tend to be carefree in betting without realizing that you are slowly depleting your money. But there is really nothing wrong with gambling because it is indeed a good way to have fun and entertainment - but when you say you want to get profit out of it or you make it as your goal, then it would be very risky and disappointing most of the time.

It's a good way to have fun and be entertained if you've got a lot of money to lose. It's not basically you are just going to gamble and just have fun, this type of reason is quite rare as most gamblers are into profit. Just take the risk if you think that you will have a good output and there's nothing wrong with this mindset if you have enough money and you afford it to lose.

Precisely. You are risking money that you can afford to lose and that you are ok with potentially losing your bankroll. This is supposed to be each gamblers should do and not just bet money that would hurt their pocket and budget when they lost it.

We can't dictate each gamblers to do it, we have freedom and freewill so every gambler knows what to do and he can do what he wanted to do. There's nothing wrong if they only bet the money they can't afford to lose just don't blame anyone with their misfortune or if they are losing their bets. It's not that appropriate because they regret in the end but they gamble at first.
3679  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to control greed on gambling? on: September 11, 2017, 04:28:13 PM
If you people ask me about controlling greed then I have not found anything working yet. I definitely can give a whole speech on this topic but I am not able to do so. It is very easy to say but controlling one temptation, which have a spic of addiction, is some cumbersome labor.
Still the case that not only gamblers but the entire human creatures are facing. We are made to be addict to anything that we like. Yet, it is not impossible to make yourself free from the greed of money that gambling displays at its first [age, but yes it is only you and your mind that can control it. Nothing will effect.

We do have a nature of becoming greedy. But I disagree with what you said that we are made to be addict, no we aren't it's just a characteristic of a person that chose to be an addict. An addict is gambling too much and not all the gamblers are gambling too much, we are gamblers but not all the gamblers here are too addict to say that he was made like that. Just manage to control your emotion and greed will be neutral.
