I think one should read more books about gambling, including about the history, strategies, gambling probabilities, how people have beaten the games and even from the point of view of casino employees. This should teach you more about the limits of gambling and why you should never be addicted to it.

I doubt it that it will give some lessons about the limitation when he started to read some strategies. A gambler will try it again and again until it will not work but it is a good thing that you will read some of those types so that you can have a better way of dealing with your addiction. You should do something about it for retaining yourself.

very unfortunate to directbet should close although directbet is my favorite gambling site when first know bitcoin. right now I mostly play dice gambling so I vote primedice and why 999dice is not in the poll.

Too bad that almost every month's winner directbet will close very soon. Well there are a lot of good gambling sites like fortunejack if you want to try out some nice games you may click my signature and try to have fun. And they are also accepting various alt coins where if you are not comfortable to gamble with bitcoin, you can use them.

There's no need to convince them now,they are the once whose seeking advise and help on how to enter bitcoin and what they can do to make it grow.

Yes, that's what I'm going to do. I'm just going to deal with those people that will ask me about my thoughts and what I know about bitcoin. But when it comes to convincing them, I know it's not an easy thing to convince people to use such thing that they are doubting. Most of the people are still doubting with bitcoin.

that is right and we need lot of work to convincing people about bitcoin, i think we don't have to trying so hard to convince people, but we only telling what he need and the rest is up to him. i think if he is really interesting with bitcoin, he will comeback to us and asked more about bitcoin and will join with us soon.

Telling them what are the essentials about bitcoin and some basic about it. And look on them if they are showing interest then make them excite for telling them some more but if you look on them and there's no interest glowing on their eyes better not to waste enough of your time and effort. Just mind your own business and focus to yourself.

Gambling is not a better choice to compare on investing. But gambling is better and worth trying rather than investing on ponzi/hyip program.

There are people that prefer to gamble more rather than investing because it's their nature and they are more familiar with gambling when it comes to earning. But for us who are in neutral side, we gamble for fun and sometimes for money and we are investing for making profit, think about your hobby and where you will excel, if you're good at investment, go invest.

San Antonio didn't make it . its GSW again and CLEVELAND again who will facing the championship again and I hope Cleveland will be defended his land bcoz I already place big bitcoin for them for the championship I always go with Cleveland because LeBron james Is there always my idol.

Well we need to move on and the San Antonio Spurs needs to be careful next time with these type of situations where they don't need to depend on a single player. Good job for the Cleveland Cavs they really deserve to be on the finals. This match will be full of action, drives coming from Lebron and KD and as well as shooting from Curry.

The odds are surely the ones that we need to adjust and compete even though our team won the game but the odds are against to our will. We can't do something about it. That's the only challenge that we need to face when we are going to choose sports gambling instead of going to casino and bet out and try our luck.

you're right. and mostly, the odds are easily analyzed because we have a lot of facts and sratistics to look at and study. of course sometimes upsets happen when the underdog beats the odds but most of the time the odds are pretty accurate

If you are not into odds better not to risk yourselves there. There are some people in real life when it comes to sports betting there might be some plus points or standings just like in this series of NBA. With my friends here, they will also love to choose to gamble with sports as there's no restrictions or some rules to be violated.

Experience is just one of those things that makes u think you can be better at gambling than someone else but at the end of the day its still a game of chance and a complete newbie has the same chance of winning as the most seasoned veteran gambler.

It is giving you some confidence that you can be better but there are only few chosen gambling games that will give you an advantage if you have the experience. But if you will play the games that are depending only with luck, experience is just a plus but it won't matter at all. Also in investing to a casino bankroll, you don't need experience on it.

I think you mean poker and maybe sports bets. Yes, experience will give you an advantage sometimes but not always. Whatever good hand you might have in poker there is always a chance that someone else has it better. And in sports you know everything happens. So, in my opinion "experience" is what makes you lose big in gambling, regardless of the type.

Yes they are counted, poker and sports betting is one of those games that will give you an advantage when it comes experience. You know how to handle pressure and risk, that's the main reason why most of the experienced gamblers are not scared to lose or to take the risk when they are playing these games. I admire most those bluffers.

I'm not sure whether it was a sarcasm or not, but I'll respond seriously. Gamblers who are not scared to take risks do not worthy of admiration imo because what they risk is not theirs in most cases. It belongs to their families, and they are simply robbing their families losing it to gambling.

Those gamblers that are not scared to take the risk deserves some admiration but it will depend with the outcome of the risk they are taking. If the result is good, they deserve it. And that's the good thing when it comes to having some experience in gambling, you are not truly thinking about negative thing but instead you are optimistic.

Both are risky as you cannot be sure that you will win in either of them as the main factor to win money in gambling is luck and its very simple logic if you are lucky you will win or you will be sitting at loosing end.

They are both risky but in sports betting the risk is lesser. If you are smart enough to do some, analysis before the decision of your bets. In most of the casino best or games it is depending on the games that you are playing, there are some that are good only for luck or they are totally luck based which has higher risk.
no if you really smart and can do math to count how much the edge in sportsbetting ,
you might will have to think many times to start gamble on sports ,
just look between the lines and you will find the number for the edge ,
it gives a lot of benefit for bookmaker ! means has even bigger risk in sportsbetting no matter you have analyzing skills.

Yes you need to adjust with the edge and specifically with the odds per bets. But you need to consider on what bet you are going to excel and just choose the best out of it. And for me, the best thing is that you should really choose only the games that you know how to play and for me I'll go with sports betting and will avoid casino bets.
You can be good at sportsbetting and still lose due to shitty odds, bookmaker cheating and disapperaing in one night. But it's little safer and smarter than casino betting but smart people don't gamble (or they are doing it for fun).

The odds are surely the ones that we need to adjust and compete even though our team won the game but the odds are against to our will. We can't do something about it. That's the only challenge that we need to face when we are going to choose sports gambling instead of going to casino and bet out and try our luck.
4192  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your reason to gamble? Fun or profit? on: May 25, 2017, 10:01:13 AM
That's one way of controlling myself in able to get a better profit. But giving myself an amount for limitation can be helpful but the question is if I'm going to follow that limit. It's very easy to set a limit but the hardest thing is that on how you are going to make the assurance that you can follow that for your own good for the profit you are hoping.

It can be helpful and I have proven that it works. Well sometimes it might not work when you get too excited to play and keep on winning but I can assure you that most of the time it works. It is good that it is keeping myself not to lose control when I play because I have limitation on myself. When someone play for fun or profit , they should have limitation

Good thing that you supported that strategy when it comes for the reason of getting profit in gambling. And with your second sentence, the reason why gamblers are not getting a good profit is because of the emotion. I guess our emotion will always play a big part when it comes to betting activity because if you can't control it, your lost.

it can't be helped though that emotions will be included when you gamble. I think what makes us lose here is the sudden bursts of emotions that make us make decisions that we really didn't plan for. we can still be emotional I think but we have to keep it in check so that it won't cloud our deciaion making

It can help you if you can handle your emotions properly. But if you can't manage your emotion and you are gambling for profit, you will have a bad fate in the end after you gamble. And if you are an emotional person then just go for the fun because when you have a feeling that your emotion will burst soon, you will be overwhelmed and that's good for fun.

Don't say that gambling is just a waste of money. It will depend on the gamblers perspective. There are investors that are making gambling as their main investments by putting a lot of bitcoins to the casino bankroll. But I'll go with investing but at the same time with some gambling on the side, but my focus is with investing.
Gambling is for fun and you shouldn't consider gambling as source of income but it is true that some of the investors are making really nice profit by investing in some trusted bitcoin casino platforms (if they have investment option). But earning from such investment may not be significant if you can't invest huge amount of BTC.

It is fine to consider gambling as source of income as long as you are going to make it as an investment. But the gambling description or the activity of putting bets and treating that as source of income, well I can say that shouldn't be considered as source of income. It's popular that the longer we stay, more chance of losing.
That's true... You are just wasting your time and money on gambling. Gambling isn't right to use when it comes on souce of income. Even though invesment is too risky than gambling still investment is more profitable and much compatible in terms of source of income.

If your perspective that you are going to lose and waste your time and money on gambling then in the first place you shouldn't gamble. The regret will always be at the end of what you are doing and you need to change the mindset of thinking it is a source of income. It can be a source of income if you are an investor to a bankroll.
4194  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Your biggest bitcoin regrets? on: May 25, 2017, 09:26:15 AM
my biggest regret, sold about 100 BTC when the price was aprox $700. 

What? Why you need to sell a lot of bitcoins by that time? If I were you I will only sell maybe 10% or 10 bitcoins by that time. Maybe you really need cash by that time. Today I keep on holding because I believe that with my past lost of selling also 5 bitcoins at $600 will be recovered if I'm going to become more patient this time.
4195  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Planned or impulsive gambling? on: May 24, 2017, 12:33:27 PM
Obviously you have to make your gamble very planning way. If you judge deeply then you will be capable of taking proper action which you need badly.
Every perspective of life, we must have to be more aware of taking initiatives. If you can then you will never face any harder challenges.

Not all the time planning is good. I would rather go with an impulsive way of gambling rather than with a planned gambling. Because if I'm planning my way of playing, most of the time I can't even follow my plan. And that will be useless so there's no more planning as if in the end, it turns out that I'm gambling impulsively.

Saving bitcoins is really a big investment.It's a preparation for our future.It would be a very big help to us if we save hundreds of bitcoin.

It is a big investment if you will have a decent amount of bitcoins on your wallet. Just like saving your money in the bank, the same thing in bitcoin which is  much better and profitable. The longer you will save bitcoins that more chance for you earn a lot and you will harvest it in the right time. Just keep on saving your btc's people.

That's what I'm saying, it will depend on your choice if you are appreciating the price increase of bitcoin, you are glad to keep on holding. And you are not going to spend some of your winnings for awhile. Because in the end, you will notice that you can have a better profit if you will let the price increase pass first.
But accepting the reality that most people do really have the problem on making decision regarding into holding their bitcoin because once they know they have some amounts on their pocket they are confident enough to spend into something because they know they have the money to spent on.Thats a natural part of human being because I do always feel on this way.

We can't do something about that attitude of human being but if there are gamblers that has problem on controlling or giving their decisions regarding on what they are going to do with their bitcoin winnings. They are all grown up, they know that holding bitcoin for better is going to gie them a better profit in the future.
