401  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Cryptsy and Kraken Targeted with Extreme DDoS Attacks on: November 26, 2015, 10:15:12 AM
Exchange collapse and lax security and trust protocols unfortunately come hand in hand.
As long as exchanges remain centralized in some form and not entirely decentralized sites can run away with a users funds.
Gox, Vircurrex, Bitfunder, Mintpal, Cryptsy the list goes on.

Im happy with kraken, i know who runs the exchange, i know roger ver is an investor.  I know they done an audit.   I dont think its impossible they have a "problem" but its less likely and i only have a small amount in the exchange anyway.

Talented poker players acquire their skill from thousands upon thousands of hands of experience such as playing for practice online. If you continue to play poker with discipline and an open mind, your chances of playing to others is a big advantage.
Poker players with that skill and experience are probably minority smaller than 1% of all poker player base. I know some poker players who are playing for 10+ years an are not even close to the tournament level.
It is more like personal skill and you can't learn it even if you spend your whole life on it.

It is very difficult to be a professional poker player. Most people cannot live on playing poker. Maybe 1% of poker player can live on that. 1 professional poker player lives on 99 non professional ones.
Not many people can learn the skill to play poker profitably.

Yeah it is hard, many people can probably work very hard on poker and become skillful enough to be +ev.  The problem is how much can they then make anyway, you have to value your time to a certain degree, you can make $1-2 an hour on the street begging.

anyway day it not over yet

This is certainly true, I cannot wait to see what today will bring.

It went up by $11 ever since I woke up, a slow climb will get us where we want to be.

Looks like we started another move, hard to say if its a rally but we could see a move up to $380 where we were chilling at before.

What are your opinions on paypal or bitcoin for online shopping?

Short term paypal is easier i guess, long term bitcoin will be much better for many reasons.  Opinions are support bitcoin as much as possible.

Sunderland vs Crystal Palace Crystal place to win at home playing good and has advantage.I also will go for over 2.5 goals for this match as well.This seems to me to see even more goals than 3.

Going for a bet on crystal palace, sunderland to go down into championship.  Best i could see them getting is a draw.

I don't think faucets is an actual gamble. Unless you're talking about the chances you'll get some more satoshi.

You don't lose anything by using faucets. It will take a long time before you earn 1 btc with faucets, so you can't really make a living out of faucets.

Raping faucets for money could be compared to something like doing thousands of competitions IRL to make extra money.  If anyone is a professional faucet grinder that would be interesting to see.  Another poor choice of a way to make a living unless its all automated.

I used to do this for about 4-5 years and i quit about 3 years ago.  There are better things to do, dont fall into that trap.  If you have to do something like that try and trade bitcoin markets, at least the skill is transferable if the bitcoin market fails.  You become a poker player and your life will go to shit.  Seems cool now but its just a shit long term plan.

Why not work on things that you can do for next 20 years etc and be happy/healthy?
work on what Cheesy for next 20 years things will be even more fucked up then now
no thanks ill be better playing poker and earn some money that is decent to live with (im good but yet to master it)
regards.

Dude i dont know your age right now but poker is a young mans game forever more or less (mathmatical peak is like 23 years i think for a brain) - Unless you are a poker celeb like daniel negreanu you wont enjoy playing poker 6-8 hours a day when you start getting 27-30 years old etc.  So if all you've done up to 27 -30 years old is master your poker skills you'll be up shit street by that time.  Games get harder year on year as poker isnt growing globally anymore to the levels it once was.  The grind gets harder mentally and physically. 

There is limited scalability in poker also - have you thought about that single scalability factor, it might be the most important thing to consider?  I remember i made more in my first few years as a pro than i did in last.   Poker does not scale well at all, you likely get to $20,$50 or even $100 per hour and then its all downhill year on year.

Even if you are 18,19 or something now there are many better things than full time poker playing, it super unhealthy for your body and you turn into a moron who thinks about everything single thing in life in terms of poker.   

Play part time and work on a something else also, you can still make good money at poker but not be stuck with it.

When i first tried quiting poker it actually took me about 2 years to actually fucking quit, its really hard to adjust to anything after grinding.  I ended up selling some shit on ebay at first to make a livivng and since have worked on selling other shit online in various ways.  It actually scales very easy what i do now vs poker, i can actually see ways i could scale to $300k - $500k a year infact (nowhere near that now but the point is it really is possible) - no chance with poker unlesss you are a genius. 

I still play occasionally.  Thinking about getting back into some part time action but just for fun.

What should you do instead i dont know, diversification is key.  What are you good at? I suggest you make a business somehow, same freedoms as poker and way better in so many ways.


i understand yours opinion but well, this could be discussed but my standings are that if your really good you can make a nice living from playing a game where you enjoy,and good living with witch you can open your own bussnies and be your own boss.
i think that poker is game witch gives you oportunity to be what you want in life (lets say you want to have a firm) you can easily make money to open it with playing poker (only if your good enough)

I did make some small savings at poker but looking back it was very hard work to get those savings, could of made the same savings doing many other things. You dont always need much money to start an online business, i didnt need much.

Being good at poker and making something like $50k - $100k a year seems very hard these days.  I just been checking out the cash games over last couple days on pokerstars and they play so tight now the action is dead.  I used to 20 table 100nl and make about $70-$80 per hour on average. Problem is you think great $70 an hour, i'll just play 40 hours a week and make tons, reality is you put in about 20-25 hours a week.  The bad runs hurt 4 times as bad when you play fulltime and need the money - you need to take time off to recover from tilt = less hours.

I had the same idea, make some money @ poker, buy a house, start a business etc.  Wish i just play part time and started business right away looking back.

410  Economy / Gambling / Re: What attracts you to a casino? on: November 22, 2015, 10:40:40 AM
Either physical or digital, I am extremely curious what causes you to visit a particular casino?
When you try out a new website or game, is the reason you play it conscious or unconscious?

I am wondering because it seems like a lot of gambling sites have been providing incentive for users to create accounts..
Either they are opening signature campaigns around here and paying via their website-accounts, or they have sign-up bonuses that don't require a deposit.

I think the promise of easy money is #1 reason.  #2 reason is the games can be fun to play.

Just checked out the new site update, very slick look couldn't be much better.

When people join a game if they dont click ready within a certain time does the system boot them out?
413  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Any advantages from gambling? on: November 21, 2015, 06:38:24 PM
I saw people discussing only issues of gambling but no one telling about advantage. So many gambling houses are coming up so is there any advantages to player or houses?

Advantages can be things like learning math and odds better.  Also can be a way to socialize even online people use the chat and share common interests.

this will be great weekend for some matches

Watford - Manchester Utd   win MNU
WBA - Arsenal              win Arsenal
Manchester City - Liverpool   will place win for MNC but think that may be draw on this one


We had same prediction for 2 matches abive but completely different on MNC agains liverpool which i think MNC will make "the anfield gank" like some practice match ,it is because MNC was very powerfull in home math  with goal average more than 3 goals,  in others side liverpool was hopeless in any away match..

You forget manchester city lost alot of their team player because of injury. Bony and aguero may not be playing tomorrow so they have no striker or they could use their young striker so liverpool is at advantages

City have many players to replace injuries, maybe aguero is tricky to replace but bony is not.  Cant see bony lasting at city infact.

They dont have any striker left. Their last game is a draw because bony is injured and they dont have any striker left. This will be tricky and they might have another draw with liverpool or lose

They could play barca style before suarez showed up they never had a striker and still kicked arse.  De bruyne, nasri, silva, toure navaz is quite an attacking force.

Its a very good move, although I would have not disclosed its location, not even the area.

Because now every "treasure hunter" will search the place for his treasure and try to steal it.

If I were him, I would have purchased a cave, and built a fortress underground in the cave system, and put my gold there. With that kind of money its totally possible.

Do we know for sure he hasn't give people the wrong location, wrong amounts, wrong anything?

I would do the same if i could tbh.
420  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Spanish League Prediction Thread (La Liga) on: November 19, 2015, 02:34:18 PM
In your honest opinion, what will be the team which will win La Liga this season? I guess Real Madrid, but I'm worried about Rafa Benitez, he isn't a great coach.

real Madrid TOO!!! RM will buy lewandovski soon i think, and RM will be better, the rumor says that C Ronaldo will leave RM and go to Paris SG or MU, Chelsea... The price is over 80 million GBP, the awesome trade will happen in next year, we, RM need a new core maybe NO.10 James  Grin Cheesy

Pretty sure ronaldo will retire @ madrid in the next few years. His agent seemed very confident of this.  If he is happy living where he is it makes no sense for him to change his lifestyle now.  He can only lose out by trying a new challenge at this stage in his career.
