4021  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: is gambling fix your life? or wreck your life? on: August 12, 2016, 06:08:47 PM
Both are definitely define,why?We cannot predict future outcome when your on gambling.If you know how to handle and deal with it them it can fix your life as you want it to be,but if you are too much that you do it above your limits then it can wreck your life.So choose wisely,when we gamble that means we know what were doing and definitely we know of can never wreck your life.

The only wise move in gambling is to just stop when you see you are losing in a streak because that can just wreck you by taking away all your money, beside that there is nothing wise someone can do in gambling to turn it to his side.

It depends on what kind of gambling you are playing. If you are playing luck base game like dice or roulette, there is nothing you can do. But if you play poker or skill base game, then you can use skills to manage your bets and win money.

Exactly, there are no techniques or such ways to win on gambling especially to some games that rely on pure luck and doesnt require any skills to win. As ou said in poker games , it would be possible to  overcome  risk  it really depends on your skills and  also accompanied with luck in order to win also in sports betting.

Yup! in sports betting you can say you will need a technique in predicting which side will win so your bet won't end up losing well you can apply a technique in certain games but luck is still the biggest aspect in all gambling methods you can play, the fact that all of it will only rely on your luck alone!

Gambling always depends on luck even if you are betting on sports, no matter if you know that the side you are betting on is stronger then the opponent but if you are unlucky the weaker side will still win the game and you will lose your money.

There will still be some factor of luck that is involved in sports betting. You cannot remove that factor in any gambling. But, you can minimize its effect on your bet especially in sports betting. If you know the stats and follow the sports well, you will know where to bet.

In my opinion you can stop or start anything according to what you really want. Methods like "going fishing to stop gambling" are excusses, go fish when u want to fish not when u don't want to gamble. And ofc if you see gambling as a social experience then you'll never have to stop bcs you'll be sensible and chill about it  Wink

Say that when you are addicted to gambling and you stopped it on your own will. Compulsive gambler will never stop gambling unless they have been cured. Maybe if you are just beginning to gamble, you can quit anytime you want. But if you are deeply addicted, it is a different story.
4024  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To Gamble or To Invest? on: August 11, 2016, 09:39:38 PM
Many would say that investment is a much better option than gambling but i would go for gambling because in gambling i am not depending on any third party for the profit or the result to come.Also return in gambling is much quicker,we get to know whether we won or lost in some time where as in investment alot of patience is required.

 But in gambling, the odds is always against you. And you cannot rely on it to give a steady profit. There are more chances that your money will turn to zero than it winning. But in investing, you can manage all the risk. Investing in a really good company will give you a steady income.

In over a year that I am doing bitcoin I have never met a random individual also involve in bitcoin. I am doing faucet before while riding a bus but no one else seems to care what I am doing. It would be nice to meet someone on the road though. And I hope one day, meeting someone involve in bitcoin is not a special event anymore.
4026  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to stay away from gambling? suggestions ? on: August 10, 2016, 05:07:58 PM
there are many ways to stay away and prevent your self to gamble your money get yourself with other things like playing online games

How about, you got addicted to online games also, so how to quit online games?  Grin Just kidding, playing online games also an alternative to stay away from gambling but it will consumed your time when you play. So balance your time and remember to stand up sometimes to stretch up your muscles. 

They are both bad to you, gambling and online game addiction. They both take too much time away from you with no benefits at all. It just take away precious money from your pocket. Though it may help get you out of your gambling problems, it just pulls you into another problem. So better try other activities like meditation or sports.

Exchange sites is almost like bank though you just don't earn interest when you store btc to them every year but somehow its like a bank, same thing when you store btc/coins on some online wallet. but a lot of us prefer to leave our coin on exchanges particularly traders.


But that's right the exchange site is like a bank but need to underline if you losing your funds in them, whether a guarantee for that? because that is very important. 


traders I prefer to leave their coins in exchanges because they consider about the fees they will get if making any transaction. maybe just a little but for a long time it's very enough amount.
With what have happened to bitfinex, I think we should all be warned in leaving money in exchange sites. It is better to store them on cold wallet so they will not be lost or hacked. We should protect our hard earned bitcoins and not leave them on third party wallets or exchanges.

if you're looking for an investment program check out my signature...
we are paying daily, and happy to assist you with any inquiries.
that is just a ponzi so dont promote it, i think if you had to choose between those 2 i would choose gambling in order to get entertainment
Yes right,its too good to be true and probably will scam.Never look for investments like that and i think gambling is better option than investing in ponzy schemes as you are not dependent on any third party.And there is also a chance that you could win.But in ponzi schemes you only gonna loose your money.
And investing in gambling sites is better than gambling alone. In investing we have a better chance because the house always wins, to make profit we need to be very patient because profit will not come very fast in investing, the percentage is very low yet consistent so we need to put a decent amount.

right, it is better to bet on the house by investing on a gambling site than betting against the house. The house has a lot better advantage against a gambler, so if you put your money in there, it is almost sure profit. But if you do not want to be associated in any gambling activities, investing is the best way to go. Maybe a few trading of alt-coins is good too.
4029  Other / Off-topic / Re: Will you quit your day job to go full time on bitcoin? on: August 10, 2016, 04:46:47 AM
If it gives a good assurance for a good source of income then why not, but as of you know bitcoin after a stable job then as should say that maybe bitcoin is a part of mysideline job .But if in long run if it gives you more than your stable job, then maybe I will stay focus on bitcoin and quit for my day job.

Reasonable answer for this thread, it can be assumed that at the point where you make more from BTC than a real job that there's definately some skill of reading the market(or enough knowledge to make an educated guess of market trends) so if someone gets to that point switching jobs sounds completely reasonable.
Because it is not always our job will give us a better income, it is apparent that our job can give us a stable income but the question is, are we satisfied with that? If not, we have to venture into other business and we need to risk a little bit to reach our dreams in the future.

Yes you are right, having a job is just getting some assurance that you are going to have something for your daily needs and you are going to work for it. That is why you need more source of income such as bitcoin if you want to have good earnings and get rich. You don't have to sacrifice anything what you need is proper time management.

If a person can be more productive in bitcoin if he focuses his attention to it, why not? Bitcoin offers a good opportunity to make a lot of money, even more than what an ordinary employee can earn. If a person can focus on that and make it work, then maybe it is worth it to leave a day job and just focus on bitcoin.
4030  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: August 10, 2016, 04:43:04 AM
Gambling is not wrong unless you play with correct intention. Whether you are playing to make money or just for fun. We can make good money if we play well.   
Other people thought gambling will make them rich, but its not. Greed is one of the thing they should control coz it could lead you more losses. Gambling is a risky game. You will be broke in an instant. Its up to you how to manage your self.

well if you are a lucky guy then maybe you can win a jackpot with a single bet. But the odds of that happening is maybe 1 out of 1 million. I am yet to see gamblers becoming millionaires and maintaining that wealth til old age. It is better to get rich thru hard work because you will value the money you earn. That will keep you wealthy through old age.
4031  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much can you earn with gambling? on: August 10, 2016, 04:37:52 AM
Any sites you recommend?
Strategy?

Hmmh, It depends on how lucky are you, if you are very lucky or good gambler, you can win lots of money, But if you won't have needed luck you can lose a lot

and i don't really think that there re such a thing as strategy, as all gambling is luck based so you can't have needed strategy

I feel there are no good gamblers in the world as being good or skilled wont work in gambling as it just depends on your luck if you win or lose so whether you use any strategy or not if you have luck you will luck and if you dont you simply wont.

Of course it depends on what game you are playing. If you are playing poker, you can use some skills to overcome a bad hand. A good poker face and a timed bluff can overcome a good hand played by a weak player. But if you are playing slots or dice, you just have to rely on your luck to win a jackpot. 
4032  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: is gambling fix your life? or wreck your life? on: August 10, 2016, 04:35:40 AM
That is what we call rage, if rage comes to you for sure you are not going to control your emotion and the proper way of being to your gambling.
And it just tends to lose the money you are holding. I learned from my experience and it just tends that it wrecked my life. So, it is really going to wreck your life if you don't know how to manage your emotion.
More you lose , you'll being rage and you couldn't control your emotion after that you'll deposit more in gambling sites to recover your losses.
That's true , if you can't control your emotion you just making gambling wreck your life , better to prepare yourself before playing gambling.
Like prepare your mental or adjust your emotion so you can enjoying your activity.

Even in any situation, not just in gambling, if you prioritize rage or emotions than your thinking mind, there will be a lot of trouble. Much more in gambling. Gambling should be done with a calm mind and emotions should be control especially if you are playing poker. And even if your playing dice or slots, you should control emotions to avoid over betting or spending.

In this moment when price for bitcoin fell down cause of Betfinex hacking it's perfect time to invest in bitcoin. The price is low now, but slowly it getting higher, so soon everyone who are buying bitcoin by the low price can earn with price difference for bitcoin. And that way is the best for investment by my opinion.

But i think people who are willing to invest in bitcoin should still wait for sometime because maybe the price drops a little more before it starts growing, so in that way they would a little more dollars profit if they wait.

You can buy at the current price. If it drops more, then buy again. As long as the price is dropping, just take that opportunity to buy some coins. Don't put all your money in bitcoin all at once. You will have the best price doing that. If you don't buy and wait for the price to drop some more, you might miss the chance when the price suddenly surges up.
4034  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: August 09, 2016, 02:39:47 PM
it is definitely not wrong, people earn their own money and they can do whatever they want with it, in my opinion no one should tell people what is wrong and what is not if its legal

And we should not warn others that they are heading into a cliff because they are driving legally, right? Its their car and their own life, why should we warn them? I think that if we know that something will result to a bad situation, we have a moral obligation to at least warn others. We know that gambling will not lead to any good, so we warn you that it is wrong.
4035  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To Gamble or To Invest? on: August 09, 2016, 10:38:24 AM

 Invest in something better then gambling. Gambling can take all money you have, and you can get addicted like a bonus on that. That is not good road for anyone of us, better try to put your money in something better. If you have some extra money, then you can try to gamble with it, in case you lose you will still have your money for investment.

 Or be brave and split your money on two half`s, one half for gambling, other for investing. And if you have luck you will make profit on both, if not maybe at least you can make profit on one. I don`t know what else to suggest you, I still didn`t try many things with bitcoins.

I will not even spend half of my money on gambling. If it is just for entertainment, I will just spend maybe 5% of my money into gambling. The rest of it will be put in a good investment. It is better to spend my money where it will surely grow than risk it in gambling. At least in investing I can control my odds in profit. In gambling, the house controls everything.
4036  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: August 09, 2016, 10:33:49 AM
it is not an alibi for me because I do enjoy gambling although I am losing, I make sure that the amount I bet is the amount I can afford to lose, I think there is no problem with your gambling hobbies if you know what you are losing.

The problem is when you lose control of yourself and you get addicted to gambling. There is almost no going back if you get addicted. Your life may get from bad to worst so rapidly. Gambling maybe a good stress reliever but if left unchecked can be a bad habit to form. It can ruin relationships and financials if you get addicted to it.

Bull shit !! You don'y pay daily you pay at the end of the week. How can you be paying 10% a day ? For only one week ? The OP wants an investment not a ponzi to have his money stolen. So you saying 1btc will macically become 1.7btc ?? What crap. Sit down stupid scammer.
You even have neg rep. You are unbelieveable.

This ponzi scams destroy the image of good investments. Once you've been a victim of them you will be afraid to put any money in any investments, even if those investments are real and good opportunities. That is why it is hard to trust online investments, they tend to become scam after a while. It is really better to do investments in stocks or just buy bitcoins and hold it.
4038  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to quit Gambling for good? on: August 09, 2016, 06:11:59 AM
To most people, quitting gambling would be like killing themselves. Some people only do this because they "sort of" want to. Guess what, if you're only quitting gambling just because you feel so, then you're not gonna be able to quit it. Once you get this urge of gambling again after weeks, you'll get back into becoming gambling.

What you should do is focus all your energy into something else while you're trying to forget about gambling. After weeks of not gambling, and weeks of being busy into something, you'll become committed on that something and you wouldn't even be able to picture yourself gambling.

There should be a commitment if you really want to quit from gambling. A weak will to stay away from it will just be broken by some teasing advertisement you see here in the forum. And what others have already said, focusing on more productive things to do will help you get over of gambling. And if you can afford, professional help can do a lot.
4039  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: August 09, 2016, 04:32:52 AM
Yeah planning about your session won't contribute that much to your winning,

But if you divided (for example 0.25 bitcoins) in to a lot of sessions rather than just wishing for that luck to hit in all in game do make a great difference.

Cause you also dividing the luck and multiplying it,making the chance of winning a little bit higher.

It is better for me if I just bet that 0.25BTC in one go than doing small bets on different sessions. The latter requires more time to accomplish. And if you lose, you don't just lose money, you also lost time. If go YOLO on it, you don't spend too much time gambling. Spending too much on gambling may cause to be addicted to it. So, bet all your money once. If you win, nice and good. If not, better luck next time.
4040  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Off-Season on: August 09, 2016, 04:26:49 AM
Just saw this report on the wire that Mark Cuban doesn't think we should send
pros to the Olympics anymore.

Not sure why he cares so much... He only has Bogut who isn't even good enough to
make USA team, he's playing for australia. 

Dude is such a moron would he rather we send high school kids and get our butts
 kicked?

Well I can definitely understand that NBA teams have nothing to gain really from the Olympics and they are a risk for the players in terms of getting injured (Paul George anyone?). But I agree that international level is top notch, even NBA based teams lost against Argentina and similar squads in the past so I don't see a College or a Euroleague American players team having a shot at gold against Spain, Australia, France, etc...

Even a sub par NBA team would have a hard time (Let's say for example a starting five of Isaiah Thomas, CJ Mccollum, Wesley Matthews, Kenneth Faried & Eric Monroe). That's a very good team but I can't really say they would bring the gold.

Yes the NBA teams have nothing to gain, but I think Olympics is the battle of the best of the best. They shoukd still send theirs best player of any country. Your competing for the pride and honor of your country.

USA should send their best players from the NBA to compete in the Olympics or the other countries will eat their players alive. One time they send College and Minor league player into the Olympics and they only got bronze medal. If they want to keep their title as the best in basketball, they should send their NBA star players.
