0% edge casino? Hmm that will die on it's early stage of operation. And I know that casino's will not do this, maybe they can do this but they are going to do something or charge every service they do on higher amount. But gamblers are wise now and they won't rely on this type of casino if there's no way to support it's operation.

So far no one is asking me for now. But last month one of my crush asked me about bitcoin. She messaged me at facebook and asked me what I keep on posting and I told her it is bitcoin. I thought she's interested by that time but upon explaining she really isn't interested at all. And if someone is gonna ask me again I'm willing to answer them what I know.

people think that gambling is easy but gambling need some stratigy and skills i think it is not easy .

We have different point of view in gambling, others are saying that it's easy to gamble and others are saying it is not. But it is harder to gamble when you don't have something to gamble. And if you want to give up gambling, you need to be consistent that you won't have something to gamble and just put your money into something more special.
4064  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: June 22, 2017, 08:47:48 AM
Gambling becomes wrong when you're getting addicted to it. If you gamble with a certain amount like once every month or so. You should be okay.
Yes I agreed on you mate in that matter, because we know that being an addict is not a good thing to become.
So gambling is not a good habit at all.

Even you gamble with a certain amount every month, you can still be on the wrong decision. Because you have been allocating a budget to gamble, that's making it wrong. What if the time of needs come? When you have something important to buy or use that money for, for your relatives? But you did allocate a budget of it instead of that important matter. And that what makes gambling wrong.

The idea of allocating a budget for gambling seems fine for me. Gambling is not wrong, it is how people play it. Gambling should just be a game, stress-reliever, or past-time but there are people who treat gambling as a source of income. We can gain profit from it but the chance is very small.

I'm not saying that gambling is wrong, gambling is only becoming wrong when we do something wrong that makes gambling wrong to the eyes of other people who don't gamble. If allocating a budget for gambling seems to be good for you, then I can't force you guys to believe that it's wrong. We do have our typical way of belief with this matter.
4065  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How greedy you are? When will you stop and withdrawn? on: June 22, 2017, 08:22:29 AM
I'm not going to withdraw until I've got 0.01 - 0.02 BTC this is my minimum amount to withdraw. And I guess this isn't too big to withdraw. I'm not a type of gambler that will keep on gambling until I lost it all. There's no essence of gambling if you will let yourself lose together with the profit that you already got.

I'm a gambler but not an addicted gambler I admit that I do play and do commit some mistakes on playing too much gambling.Mistakes are normal but we should really need to learn from those past mistakes to realize on what are the thing we suppose to do. Gambling addiction is like a disease which when it already overcome in oneself it will surely make your life miserable ahead.
Same thing to me, I'm also a gambler but I'm not that addicted at all. I just gamble when I have some free time and money. And thats why I know what I do and still I have an idea on what I need to do when my greediness is starting to shake me. Just control yourself so that you wont become addicted.

That is a good thing to have control of ourselves when we are gambling.  We should play whe we have extra funds only.  Funds that are free and is not compromised.  Doing such think can make us avoid being addicted since we are in check of our money and selves.  With that I can say I am totally in control of myself and not addicted to gambling though there are sometimes that urges to gamble are strong but I am glad I can keep my self on not playing.

It should be done by almost every gambler because if you are not going to do it. The possibility of losing a lot of money and you can even make yourself addicted for doing so. But once you doesn't have control to yourself anymore that's the start of the calvary and you know what will be the result of it and that's addiction.

..Know your limitations and set a realistic limit for your own good.

Why people are having a hard time to set that? And even for me I have a traits like that but still overall I can control.

Once a gambler feel and experienced the feeling of big winner, they will do anything to feel it all over again. While on process, they will not realized that they are doing gambling too much. Instead of they are closing to their goal, it's now making worst and then the unfortunate thing will happen which is becoming a totally bankrupt. This is the reality that majorit gamblers experienced. Good thing here in the community, we are still many responsible gambler here or literally no money to gamble lol.

I guess it's because of confidence, we tend to think that we can win more if we don't set a limit. And it's not like you will be contented and get out on that day when you have won enough. But since everyone now seems to have learned a lot of lesson with their very own gambling experience, they are starting to play smart and wise.

That is why you have to allocate something for the gambling right? As long as you are balanced enough to not waste that money you have separated for own use or personal. And that is just the common dilemma for gamblers even if u said you would set it aside if you lose there is always the rage to gain or to take back what was lost to you in gambling. Generally it is wrong but it is definitely a fault in your own self righteousness.

Yes you are allocating something for your gambling needs and the wrong decision starts there. It's better if you are not going to allocate a certain amount there. I'm saying that only use spare money or bitcoin when you gamble. But you are right, the wrong way of gambling is when you keep on thinking about the gain.

With the current situation of bitcoin, I really can't see the possibility the chance that bitcoin will die soon. I always keep on reading articles and udpates about bitcoin. And instead of reading bad news and anything that can discourage me with bitcoin, there's none. Most of the news are good and speculates the 5 digit possibility value of bitcoin.
4071  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When did you start gambling? (Because of BCT Promotion?) on: June 21, 2017, 02:56:11 PM
Being curious made me gamble a few times. I'm not much of a vambker but I wanted to at least expierence it once. First time I won and the two times after that I lost. I have lost much so I think it's time to stop. I know how it feels now so I have the experience.

I'm also curious why people are putting too much attention to gambling so I tried it out. And I finally found out that gambling is really addicting and I was able to know gambling not here in the forum but way back when I was in high school. I have classmates who are gambling with their money all the time even at classroom.
4072  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: June 20, 2017, 09:53:34 PM
That's the strongest part of it's nature and the reason it's gambling, because it's very addictive and you can't leave it easily, I seen few scientific shows about gambling and apparently the reason is due to hormone coming from the brain and the like, regardless gambling = addictive.

Gambling is simply addicting and there's no question about it. And regardless of your situation in life once you started to gamble, you will become addicted on it no matter how good or bad you gamble. The entertainment and excitement it gives to the people is why gambling is addicting plus the possible money you can win.
Everything can be addictive as long as it provides you with a feeling of enjoyment or excitement, a euphoria if you will. The brain enjoys the extra dopamine created by it, and the happy feeling is there, and if you are starting to get addicted to it, then you are probably going to be dependent on that. It's like being high on something, and that's illegal for a reason.

I don't judge gambling as an illegal activity and being high into something unless that something you are saying is the illegal drugs. We have our different hobbies and those people that are "addicted" to gambling will simply defend themselves and will say that it's their hobby and they don't make themselves deceived by gambling as they know what they are doing.

Just curious about why you think some laws should be judged and others shouldn't?  Why is it that illegal drugs should be judged?

Well illegal drugs aren't giving profit to the government and there's no taxation on it. Another impact that it can give to the people is it can make them crazy until they grow old, there's an health issue that can be inline into illegal drugs. That's also the main reason why many people think with an intention to commit crimes because of that. But we do have our different expression here.
4073  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How did you first hear about bitcoin? on: June 20, 2017, 09:36:17 PM
Are you a bitcoin fan?

Yes, since I ever started bitcoin I became a fan already.

Do you spend a lot of time on bitcoin? Reading news, trading, or even writing your own analysis.

Yes, most of the time I read news even when I'm at the office or it is office hours. I want to see updates from bitcoin and different trends from it.

But how did you first hear about bitcoin?

My friend told me about bitcoin and he just mentioned it.

Is it some articles you read about? Or just from a friend who has traded bitcoin for a long time?

My friend isn't a trader but he's only visiting the deep web and didn't do any transaction there. And he know that bitcoin is method of payment there.
4074  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have You Been to Macau? on: June 20, 2017, 09:22:46 PM
I haven't tried to get a side trip to Macau. But I've seen it's establishments from a friend of mine. She's a businesswoman and she keeps on travelling from Singapore back to Macau. And she's inviting me to go to Macau just for a visit but I know it will cost a lot because when I can't control myself. I will make myself stay there for better.

I had been Singapore many times but not visited Macau, and My friends told me to come, but I did not get a chance to visit that place. Yes, this place is very famous for gamblers, and I think very dangerous area. We can not go alone that place, and with family, it is not a good place to visit. That is why I am waiting for my friend's response once they tell ok I will visit once this place.

Yes this is really a very well known place for those people that loves gambling. It is a dangerous area if you don't have enough money to gamble and it's better to stay at home playing on an online casino. It's not that bad to gamble there but my main focus is to visit countries and Macau is a good place to consider for vacation.

This is where most of the gamblers are doing mistake. Even there are some who are winning a lot within a single day. They are still not contented with it and they don't intend or plan to stop and take the whole day for a rest. Because they don't aim on how much they want to win for this day. The smart way on doing it is set a ladder limit, smallest to highest. But if you can't take to the next level you set, just be contented on your current stage.

At first it may seems like we win but in the end we are going to lose. It is a delusion that I once get as a gambler. I win and I keep playing but in the end , everything just gone because the house is going to win. It is a very stupid decision of me that lead me to lose alot of money but I changed because of that experience as well

That's the start of the deception, we are winning in the first try and we don't think that gambling is moving that way. And in return to play smartly, whenever you've got enough winning, it's better to save also and don't just keep on gambling. Know your limitations and set a realistic limit for your own good.

Lebron not leaving cleveland he left once he not leaving again, he will def try to get more help for next year, plus he is in the eastern conference he has a cake walk to the finals every year, why would he put himself in the west makes no sense.

He will just make himself devalued if he is going to leave Cleveland. This team treat him more than a player and I guess Lebron is treating Cleveland as a home already. More training, more chemistry and they can be the next season's champion. And every player in the league is giving him a big respect for their best opponent.

Yeah you're right. It's more likely that he's personally putting a hand in creating a lineup next season that he things would match up to the warriors. As if the cav's current lineup isn't that star studded yet. A lot of free agents will be looking for better options and anything that can give you a chance to earn a ring would be an attractive offer

For sure Cav's will be the number one shifting team of those free agents and it will be crowded. But I don't think that Cavs management will welcome those agents that wants to be with their team. They need to be meticulous as they don't need a star studded team. What they need is a team that knows how to play and has a good chemistry for the team work.

Regardless of stakes and winnings achieved, if we not have target then it will only end in losing. Winning (big or small) and blurred, probably best way to gamble.

This is where most of the gamblers are doing mistake. Even there are some who are winning a lot within a single day. They are still not contented with it and they don't intend or plan to stop and take the whole day for a rest. Because they don't aim on how much they want to win for this day.
