no i do not thing so that to consider gambling as sickness, i think gambling is not sickness but a good way of refreshment and  making fun. but it is also a fact that if you are playing gambling for making money and you have no proper  strategy for your gambling, then iti s really sickness.

Yeah, you are right with your opinion because it depend on our mind how seriously we are taking this, I also think if we don't have addiction of gambling than gambling is very attractive and fun to get relaxed after having a hard job, if we are greedy and want to get rich than it can be sickness.

gambling is not considered as a sickness because is different, gambling is just an activity of what we do, and addicting is just a habit, like addicting in drugs, but again, addicting in gambling and addicting in drugs is different. so gambling is just playing games with money involve and its not a sickness

But if you get addicted to gambling, you will lose control of yourself. That is what is bad with it and what it makes like a sickness. The negative effects of gambling addiction is too much. Maybe gambling is okay if done sparingly. But too much of it is bad and can be considered a sickness.

Howard won't. It's just his prime is over. He lost the moves, the durability, and the drive. He ain't that beast of a center anymore.
agree with you mate even he's still young like lebron but the skills and the dominance already been past, he cant deliver anymore but let see how he will make this season, star always shines when its needed.
I love to see howard take back his pride, and I hope he will do that this season and will not just stay soft again. This guys has been so good before but when he has been receiving good amount he does not make any effort like he did when he was still proving himself.

He is in NBA just for the money now. I do not think his play will go back to that intense when he was still proving himself. I think he just want to play as long as possible to get as much cash as possible from NBA as he can. It is just longevity and cash now.

Gambling is so additive.I would suggest you to be away from this. Even if you want to try for fun but you will get addictive soon & start throwing your money over it.so be away from this.

Nope, addiction can be avoided and can be managed. It depends on ourselves, those who are addicted to gambling are those who cant manage themselves on how to gamble reponsibly.

i agree, addiction can be handle as long as we don't think about gambling everytime. we play gambling is just in our relax time and don't make gambling as our purpose to work because this will make us to ruin everything.

if we can handle that, then you can play gambling without worried about addiction, and don't forget that you still have another point which is greedy that you should handle too.

Nope, if you are addicted already, it will be harder to handle gamble. But if you are not addicted yet, you can still control the time, money and effort you put into gambling. Just do not let your gambling be an addiction and you will be fine. But if you get addicted to gambling, then that is the time you will have lots of problem and becomes wrong.
3824  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to stay away from gambling? suggestions ? on: September 23, 2016, 06:42:46 PM
The main reason why a lot of people are failing from quitting gambling is because they don't seek any external help. They keep the mindset that they can do it themselves when, in fact, they can't. Ask for the help of other people to keep you distracted and for yourself, keep yourself from becoming idle. It's mostly when you're idle is the urge of gambling the highest.

I think it is mostly shame that prevents them from seeking help from others. If you are a gambling, you will not tell your friends and family that you have trouble because of gambling. There are very few who will admit they have gambling problem like very few will admit they have drinking problems until too late. But if we start admitting to ourselves and to close friends we have problem with gambling, then the real healing will start.
3825  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: did you put all your money into bitcoin? on: September 23, 2016, 06:36:07 PM
I put most of my money into bitcoin how about you?
No i don't put most of  my money into bitcoin because as we know bitcoin is new in the world and price of bitcoin is fluctuating price can going up and down. You must apply management of risk on Investment.

Indeed to put all of your money into one investment is absurd and dangerous. You wouldn't want to lose your whole networth trough one investment.
Splitting investments is best even with bitcoin so no I don't put all my money into it just a part.

It is always good practice to diversify your investments to minimize risk. Putting some money in bitcoin, some on stock, some on gold, small business, etc. It is tempting to put all your money in bitcoin and watch it grow. But if the opposite happens, you will be left with nothing, But if you have other investments, then those investments can save your finances.
3826  Economy / Economics / Re: How too get rich on: September 23, 2016, 06:24:38 PM
yeah of course, if you already have a job and it gives bitcoin fixed income for you, what else do you need? you just need to continue to focus on working and collect bitcoin?

YOu need to have a saving and investments that earn you passive income. You need to be financially educated. Your job can only provide you fix income while you have the strength to work. Once you cannot report for work anymore,  income stops coming. Savings and passive income provides you money even if you cannot work anymore. You can only do this if you manage your finances well while you are still working.
3827  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To Gamble or To Invest? on: September 23, 2016, 06:04:34 PM
Gambling or investing it would be vary from user to user who have the some because every one have differenet skills.If some one knows about investement then surely it will be the best choise but who dont know much about that like me i am going with sport betting rather than investing where i dont have much interest or knowledge.

Investing, trading and other skills can be learned. You do not have to disregard those just because you do not know it now. It is not rocket science and can be learned by any normal person. You can study investing and trading while you are sports betting so that you will an option in the future if gambling does not pan out for you.
3828  Other / Off-topic / Re: how many people do you think knows about bitcoin in your community? on: September 23, 2016, 05:58:11 PM
Only few people around me (home, school and internet groups) who knows about bitcoin, but none of them use bitcoin Sad
They still think bitcoin is too complicated, not real or they just don't have any reason to use bitcoin. They only interested to hear about bitcoin after i say bitcoin can give you profit from freelancer works, investment or trading.

I once was just like them. Back when bitcoin was still starting and the price was just a few dollars. I researched bitcoin and listen to those websites saying bitcoin is a scam. I regret that decision to ignore bitcoin back then. I should have been wealthy by now. I hope your friends will realize the value of bitcoin sooner than later.
3829  Other / Off-topic / Re: Earning a living with bitcoin? on: September 23, 2016, 05:53:57 PM
Yes, it is possible to earn a living with bitcoin, but I do not suggest living just from bitcoin. For me, my life is the most important and I would not put it on the price of bitcoin, but I have very good experience with blockchain because I actually manage to earn a living amount of income from bitcoin and more from blockchain technology related development.

If you mean we should not be satisfied with only one source of income, then I agree with you. Even if bitcoin is quite stable this past few weeks, we should not be really dependent on it. It is better to have a back up job or plan, just in case bitcoin goes south. The more soure of income we have, the more stable our financial status will be.
3830  Other / Off-topic / Re: Will you quit your day job to go full time on bitcoin? on: September 23, 2016, 05:28:11 PM
that's sure the matter right now,but if the one who receiving the salary could get a fixed bitcoin in dollar value and just exchange it immediately in exchanger that having dollar to bitcoin / bitcoin to dollar and keep it in the exchanger,maybe we will don't need to worry about the volatility

What is the point in going to bitcoin if you are going to exchange it to fiat anyway just to avoid volatility. You are just complicating yourself and taxing yourself with transfer fees . And do you really want keep your money in exchanges. Have we not learn anything from bitfinex hack yet?

3831  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: September 23, 2016, 05:16:39 PM
The promise of fast and easy money blinds people and make them roll again and again, not realizing that they are losing money with each consecutive bet.

That is just plain greed then. You cannot blame them actually. Sometimes the ads of gambling sites are just so tempting you just have to play and gamble. Once, I was an addict in lotto. The lure of becoming an instant millionaire is so tempting to resist. I always line up to make a bet. But for the longest time I did not win anything, so I quit.
3832  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: September 23, 2016, 05:11:05 PM
Right now its better to just save it up and wait on a better moment because of the fact that the bitcoin price is pretty high.
Its just that waiting on a good price is smarter and more profitable.

Actually it depends on what is your investment goal. If it is short term, then waiting for a dip is good. But you should always be aware of the price. But if your goal is long term, then any time is good time to buy because you will never know what will be a good price and bitcoin will go higher price anyway in long term.
3833  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: September 22, 2016, 04:52:45 PM
simple answer, because greedy i think
Greedy is always there when it comes in gambling but every people has their own percentage of being greedy, greedy sometimes is surplus, so that other people get out of control of playing gambling especially when they win once they wanted to play again and again.
being greedy sometimes give you a benefit yeah like a YOLO bet winning but you must realize mostly this greedy will only bring you to the bad thing. the happy feeling and the thrilling of how extremely easy to make money by playing a game make people frequently come to a casino to gamble and test their luck , as time goes by it's turn to an addiction.

that is quiet true. It is because of greed that you play more gambling. And because you are gambling more and more, you get used to it. ANd then your body start to crave for gambling. That is when you know you are already addicted to it. So maybe if you limit your time in gambling, then maybe you can avoid being addicted.
3834  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to stay away from gambling? suggestions ? on: September 22, 2016, 04:28:28 PM
I think you should focus on new things do you think interesting. then to distract from gambling to new things, you will soon be leaving the world of gambling
Its more attractive to change hobby to play dota 2 or league of legends because its more addictive than gambling.
Before i was addicted in bacarat and and poker but i realize its not worth because i am looking for profit but i didnt get any good result..
Thats why i change my hobby into egames.. and sometimes im betting in e-sports nitrogen sports but its not the case its reducing my gambling activity..

And you can also become a professional gamer. The pay for professional gamer is really lucrative these days. I think there has been teenager who became a millionaire because of playing DOTA 2. This is way better than getting addicted to gambling and losing money.
3835  Other / Off-topic / Re: What is your plan to get rich with Bitcoin? on: September 22, 2016, 04:21:04 PM
With a sports betting strategy i am making 0.05 -0.10 btc everyday which i use to buy coins that have huge potentials, i'll keep accumulating for some years
Yes May be you get profit for this day but you will not lucky forever. the Most of gambler was lost a lot of their bitcoin in gamble. I suggest you to choose trade bitcoin it is more fair than gambling. if you have big amount of bitcoin to start it, you will get rich in a short time if you always get profit.

He is right. There are already a lot of people who's life got ruined because of gambling. Even if you are lucky now and getting profit, there is no assurance that it will continue to be so. And getting rich thru gambling is not a plan because gambling does not assure you of any income. It's outcome is based on luck.
3836  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: September 21, 2016, 04:33:10 AM
In my own opinion, if you have a sure way to put your money then I say invest or better still convert to FIAT and invest because all this online sites majority ended up being scam if not from the beginning. On the otherhand if that is not possible the I would say save your money until you can go for the first option...

Saving is safe why you don't want to save your money instead of saving? If you are just looking for safeness then save it to your pocket or bank account if that is fiat money. And if that is bitcoin then you just need to store it to your bitcoin wallet and that is going to be safe at all and thus, you are going to get profit when price increases.

If you just store your money in a bank or in your wallet, it is safe but it will not grow. And overtime it will lose its value due to inflation. That is why you need to have some investment to cope up with inflation rate. As long as the investment is gaining interest above the inflation rate, your money will grow in value.
3837  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to stay away from gambling? suggestions ? on: September 19, 2016, 04:50:29 PM

agree with your opinion, gambling is fwrong way to growing our money, it's just for waste money.

im ex gambler,  i stop gambling with learning trading, then now im focus at trading.
wow! it is nice that you found something exciting to replace your gambling addiction. It is way better to focus on trading than on gambling. You can actually win in trading in contrast in gambling that you have more chances to lose than win.


It is not outright wrong to gamble but it is just more profitable and less addicting to trade and make more money.
3838  Economy / Economics / Re: How to save money. on: September 19, 2016, 04:30:04 PM
Just simply don't spend your money if you don't have to

I was trying to do that all my life but it does not work. If all your thinking is not spending your money, then you will be spending them. I think the more I think not to spend, the more I spend. It is weird, right? The thing that worked for me is to put away the money you intend to save in a place you can't touch. You do this right after you receive your salary.
3839  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Best Investments on: September 19, 2016, 09:26:36 AM
As fast as you can make money out of altcoin trading can you lose your money in altcoin trading. You're not 24/7 online to monitor the charts. It's actually possible that before you log out, everything was so good. And then you wake up finding out the devs have ran away and all the other coin owners have pulled their money out leaving the price of the coin you've invested in around 1 satoshi each.

I agree to most people that you should invest in yourself instead. Growth and knowledge would lead you to success no matter what happens.
I don’t know how the software and platforms to trade altcoins work but in forex you can setup stop orders, basically you put a threshold, if the dollar reaches this value against the euro then sell, I suppose something similar can be done with altcoins

Actually you are right. In poloniex there is an option for STOP-Limit so you can prevent further losses or protect your profits. And I think that option is also available in other trading sites. We just needed to be educated properly on the how's of trading.
3840  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: how to start trading with a very small amount on: September 19, 2016, 09:09:16 AM
It is quite hard to start trading with a very small amount. But, you can always go to the altcoin boards and look for newly launched altcoins. I'm pretty sure there are bounties there. Some altcoins have twitter campaign, facebook campaign, signature campaign, blog campaign, and some has some translation bounties as well. In that way, you can get an altcoin with just your efforts. Sell what altcoin you get and you can start trading with an additional amount of capital.

some month ago, im starting to trade with capital only 0.5btc, then i turn it to 3btc in 2month Smiley
it's very possible if we can manage our profit, our time quality, learning for read analysis and speculation, also learning for reading situation.

Maybe you are already a well experienced trader. You made a very good profit in a very short period of time. Are you trading alt coins or just btcusd? Maybe you can share how you do it so that other traders can make the same amount of profit too in the future.
