You can earn allot of money with gambling but for that to happen you will have to play games like poker that require some skill, if you are going to play games that require only luck then you are not going to make it.
So do not think that you are going to become a millionaire by playing roulette all day.

Of course not, there is no real winning on games like roulette or dice. You can win sometimes and lose most of the times. It all depends on luck. Even poker depends on luck. It depends on the cards on your hands. Even if you bluff your bad hands, if the other players have good cards, they'll call your bluff and your done.

It happens buddy. I deposited 0,005 at primedice and made 1,33 btc and withdrawed 1 but later i deposited and lost it all...
now im about -0,6 profit at all my accounts (at primedice) so i hate gambling but im addicted and im still doing this shit lol
get profit finnaly guyss
How do you earn that big? .005 to 1.33btc, that's like impossible. Do you have any tips or strategies that will lessen the risk of losing your bet? Can you please share it.
he just hit his lucky day and start winning from many bets in gambling games if you are lucky you can make so many profit but the problem is there is always a time that bad luck hit you and lose all like his case he like winning and then he lost all

I guessed that too. He was just lucky on that day he managed to raise 0.005 to 1.33btc. There is no real strategy in dice, only luck works there. If you are lucky enough to beat the house edge, you can win. But luck cannot be caged and brought with you daily, so, that is why now he is negative profit. He lost his Luck since then, I guess.
4203  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: July 06, 2016, 09:00:20 AM
I don't know why but I always get a feeling to gamble, after then losing my money, I quit for some time and then continue, but I know I will lose my btc Sad

Why is it so addictive?

because you can win a lot and people are usually very greedy so they want a lot of easy money, so they gamble again and again

I agree, many people wants to get rich or to have many money fast without earning it hard or they don't want to wait for many years for that to happen. So they go to casinos or any gambling platforms they know hoping they will win some money. But instead of winning they just go home nothing. Then urging them to get back what they lost until they repeat the same mistake all over again.

People should know by now that casino is not a good way to earn money. It is there to lure you to be entertained and throw away money thru their gambling games. But there is no making money there. You can win once in a while, but most of the time, you will lose money. So, if you want money, work. If you want entertainment, gamble.
4204  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should I invest in bitcoin casinos? on: July 05, 2016, 11:57:59 PM
I have $3000 USD to invest, is it worth it?

What sort of returns should I expect
i was looking for investing in BTC casinos,it is looking great but... i dont like it anyway,in most sites you need to invest minimum 1 btc or a little less.
Anyway if the house edge is implemented you should always get profit at long term... unless casino is a scam

I think OP can afforrd more than one BTC if he wanted to invest in a casino. Minimum amount will not be a problem for him. The only question is, if he can find the right casino to invest in? Casinos that has been for a while, have a regular players and have a decent amount of income monthly should be the casinos that he should invest in.

unstoppable means can't be defeated? I think they will be another finals appearance for them adding KD wow, surely another team will showed up and impress us. san Antonio will bring us back to the finals just watch and see.

It is a guarantee for the Dubs that they will enter in the playoffs, but I don't know if they will be the first team to win 82-0. Nobody knows, but chances are slim in this one.
As for San Antonio, they will be a solid team as well because of the deal with Pau Gasol, so that will be a little boost for them. Smiley

It is still too early to tell for any teams if they will enter playoffs, much more finals. A team can have problems along regular seasons like injuries and the like that can cripple their team. Even strong teams can have problems with two superstar hagging limelights. So before we say anything about playoffs or finals, let us see the regular season first.
4206  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much can you earn with gambling? on: July 05, 2016, 12:09:19 PM
Most of the time most people doesn't win gambling. I believed that only those who have big bankroll and know how to play are the one who are winning in gambling. As for me no, I never won but still i kept on trying hoping for the day that i will win soon.

Yes, you are right. People who have big bankroll always have a high chance to win and they can earn much money from gambling. But for people who have small bankroll, they can't earn much.

They will still have the same chance to win, 50-50. It does not matter if you have a large bankroll or not, once you roll the dice it has 50% chance or lower to win. So it is the same if you have lower bankroll. The only advantage is, if they bet the same amount, it is longer to bankrupt the richer one. But in the end, it will end up the same. Negative expected value.
4207  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: July 05, 2016, 11:55:31 AM
Why?  What is wrong with gambling?  Is it too much fun?  Does it physically do harm to another?  I cannot understand how one could think that what another does with their hard earned money is any of their business!  Who decides whether or not what another does with their own money is wrong anyway....our government? our neighbor? our God?

Gambling doesn't give physical harm but it can give a fetal mental harm to one who lost his amount in gambling.. And if you are talking about religion then gambling is considered wrong and prohibited in Islam...
Gambling addicts believes in religion but does not embrace the rules, it could only be wrong when you use it in wrong way, the word entertainment should only mean fun and we should stick to that.

Gambling is not for fun alone, it is for money too. I do not think gamblers will still gamble if you take out the money from it. Maybe there won't be any thing to discuss if there is no money involve. The entertainment part is just an alibi to justify your addiction to gambling and the greed from money. And that is why it is wrong.
4208  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you were rich, would you still gamble? on: July 05, 2016, 11:43:25 AM
Most casinos that I go too its usually the rich Asian community that spends the most money. Most regular middle class white people they end up only playing slots and losing
You are very right, most of the casino have slots which makes people loose lol. Anyways, if I would get very rich then I will probably not gamble because I gamble for money and when I have it, why even gamble more ?

Yeah, there is no need to gamble anymore because you already have too much money. If they will argue that gambling is for fun, there are a lot of entertaining things to do that does not involve losing money. There are sports and other recreational activities that will give you good health and hours of entertainment.
4209  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: July 05, 2016, 10:42:31 AM
Why not there is no reason to think about this, there a lot of money involve it looks very attractive and this our natural feeling to make without doing any hard job to make some earning for us but when people win a good amount than it made gambling so addicting and make us to keep playing.
that is normal all of us got some luck everyday that can get us a good profit but the problem is that make you  want to have more but when you start losing that made you really addicted that is the desire of recovering your lost and make more profit.
it is all about winning and then losing that made you angry and addicted to gambling.

You are somewhat right that all of us got some luck, but not every day, because every day is not your day.
You may lose consistently during a day, whereas the same applies to the opposite side. So, getting addicted will get you nowhere but loss.

If you get addicted to something, there is always loss. In gambling, you lose time for your family and other good activities. You also lose money. So once you have a chance to quit gambling, please do so. Because if you get addicted, it is all negative effects.
4210  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When gambling makes you cry. on: July 05, 2016, 10:26:29 AM
I'm already addicted so yes gambling makes me cry. There is no easy way to make money I'm only fooling myself. I should slow down a bit and get into betting instead.

You are setting yourself up to a disappointment if you will switch to betting, it is still gambling. And you will still have a chance to lose big. And it will still make you cry. But I guess you will have a better chance of winning if it is a sports betting where you can make use of your knowledge of sports. That will make you cry of joy.
4211  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: July 05, 2016, 10:13:08 AM
With bitcoin currently for anybody that invested and the result weren't roi and around 100% return for sure the savings at the moment are winning as value has doubled very easy.
Soo at this time I would choose savings against investment as the risk between them are huge.

If we talk about bitcoin, then saving bitcoin for future is the best step to take, as you can sell it any point of time when price goes higher, investment can be risky as not many sites are trusted at a moment.

Indeed you can sell on any point and holding is now the best thing you can do because its gonna be profitable.
We should just wait on the halving that is coming, this will already let us make some good profit.

Yeah, especially if you accumulated many bitcoins this past years. Trading it will be good too. You can make a lot of money with it. When you hold, you only make money once. But if you trade, you can take advantage of all the times the price dips and goes high. It can be more profitable than just holding if you know how to do it right.
4212  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how much you lost money in gambling? on: July 03, 2016, 07:15:52 AM
0.005, just started last night , i want to try gambling if its profitable or not.
My btc  were gone after 5 minutes.. it seems that gambling is not ptofitable it will only give you excitement.
yes exactly.. gambling is for entertainment only, there were times you'll be able to win but most of the time you will lose. its rare to win in gambling.
Even when we win, in some days or sometimes even in few hours we can can loose even bigger amount. So, yes I also do it just for fun, because expecting profits from gambling is like getting addicted to it.

that's the story of my life. with each win there is a lot more losing.

that is why i never go forward in gambling and only go backwards, i just lose what i have earned before that. that is why i never expect gambling to be profitable in the long run.
Now that you realized it, you should stop gambling. It is sad that you loss all your earnings before. There is no getting it back now, so the best thing you can do is work again, earn and avoid gambling. You can invest your earnings so it can work for you and profit more. It is far better than gambling.
4213  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be considered as a Sickness!! on: July 03, 2016, 07:12:16 AM
Gambling is risky game of money from which most people lose and just a few wins. Gambling too is addictive and fun especially when you're winning and that's why most people can't get away from gambling once they get in it.
In gambling you only win from the start then you lose whenever you win a certain amount.


No it shouldn't unless it does contribute and cause a negative effect in your life.

Sickness is called sickness because it have a negative effects in the person bearing it,  but what of you are not addicted to gambling and are just playing for dun,  then it should not be considered as a sickness.

More from it, it should be considered as a good thing in your life because it makes you happy.

This kind of question can be answered by anyone with a different perspective,  it is a sickness of it does negative to you and not of it doesnt

Even if it is good for you now, it will eventually turn into a bad habit some day. Because gambling can be addicting and one you get addicted you will not be able to control your bets. If that happens, it will be only a matter of time before you drive yourself bankrupt. So, avoid it as much as possible. There are a lot of things to do that will not have negative effects to you. Do those things instead of gambling.
4214  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you were rich, would you still gamble? on: July 03, 2016, 06:57:36 AM
If I was rich I would not gamble at all because of the fact that gambling can still make you poor.
Another fact is also that gambling is very addicted and it can let you go to the wrong direction in life...
if you can control yourself, gambling will not make you poor, but there are some people who can not control himself. I guess if I become rich, I probably would occasionally gamble, I think it might be good to have fun, but I'll try not to gamble, because I could just be hooked and become poor because of gambling
if you do not want to be poor, my suggestion to play gambling with the results of the free, and do not ever spend money to play gambling. it is really a very safe way. even if you are addicted and can not control yourself.

Well, maybe you are right. But gambling without real money is not fun, i mean it's like useless and wasted your time. But if you rich, you don't care about how much money you will lose.

But if you do not care how much you lose, someday you will regret it. Gamble all the way and your money will be gone before you know it. Even if you are rich, your money is not infinite. So if you keep on gamblng and keep on losing without minding it, then you will be poor in no time. It is better not to gamble at all.
4215  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how much you lost money in gambling? on: July 03, 2016, 03:20:23 AM
My Biggest lost in crpyto gambling is more than 1 Bitcoin less than 1.5 Bitcoin. I never loan to recover from gambling because for me that is risky. The more you are chasing your losses the more you lose. But still hoping to have a luck someday and recover my losses.

I hope someday you win big so you recover your losses. But if I were you, I would invest my coins rather than gamble it. I think you can do better in recovering losses by investing your coins. If you continue to gamble, you may just accumulate more losses than winnings. But if that is the way you want to recover your loss, then good luck to you.
4216  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should I invest in bitcoin casinos? on: July 03, 2016, 02:02:23 AM
Yes if you have money to spend. You must invest in bitcoin casinos. It is always beneficial for you. But you must be sure that
casino has well reputation.
of course, that is the basic in investing, make sure you are investing in a profitable business and trustworthy. Bitcoin is increasing in terms of price and since online casinos are profitable, you are like investing receiving a huge amount of interest.
It likely won't be a huge amount of interest, primarily because of the fact that even though there is the potential for a lot of interest to be paid out to the investor, the company will likely want to keep a fixed rate of something like 2% so that they are able to keep a majority of the funds for themselves. We see this in real companies and their dividends, and so such a thing happening with a Bitcoin casino wouldn't surprise me.

Not all companies do have a 2% interest fortheir investors,

Every company have their own explanation regarding the interest that their investors will receive.

One more thing if some of the companies as what you had just said had 2% interest, Then I think It is still profitable for a big amount of money that are going to be invested on those companies.
Well, if a site or casino has a higher house edge then surely they would have less wagered amount daily, hence you will get almost same on every site, no matter what edge they have because that is compromised with wagering.

Invest on casinos that already have a good number of gambler followers. This will assure you that you will not have a problem on your investment and that it will continue to turn in profit. You have to study the gambling sites first before you give them your money. Make sure they have been around for quite some time and that they have a stable income.

If I wake up with 50 million dollars?.....  I will never gamble for the rest of my life. I'd rather invest in Real Estate in order to further increase my wealth. Gambling it will give you assurance that You will wake up Broke.....

Right, gambling will just make you broke again. There are already a lot of people getting broke because of gambling, and even if you have 50 million dollars, it does not exempt you from that reality. So, if you want to enjoy your wealth, it is better to avoid gambling.
4218  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: July 03, 2016, 01:46:54 AM
Saving is really important for everyone, as it you don't save money then you need to keep on begging from friends and relatives at the the time of emergencies and that will create negative image in front of them.

I would say that saving is better than doing an investment because if you save it serves as your investment. You are saving your money and at the same time you are investing your time on it.

Saving is.different from investment. Saving is when you put money somewhere for future use. While investing is when you put your money to work so it can earn for you without you doing anything. If you save your money in a bank, it will not earn anything but it can be use someday for emergency.

I have $3000 USD to invest, is it worth it?

What sort of returns should I expect

I suggest you to invest this $3000 in Bitcoin. It`s sure that you will loose nothing while in casino you risk everything.

It is only a risk if you will gamble on a casino. But if you are investing on it, then you are good. You know, it is like what they always say, the house always win. You are part of the house when you invest in them, so you always win and your money will grow. Just be careful on what online casino you are investing. Choose the one that are established and have a good reputation.

Actually Lebron as of last 2014 had never been the highest paid athlete on his team despite bringing in lots of wins so I guess it's the right time for him to demand what is rightfully his.

He had passed his primetime already so you can expect to see any team would want to play alot for his service. He is still one of the best player but it is hard to say that his era is almost over, the younger player has already taking it all and he had no chance anymore perhaps he could play for maximum of 4 more years
The reality is Lebron is playing smarter this season, he had improved his game and he is not just a more scoring guy, he balance his play as he has a good record in rebounding and assists which he did not give importance at his prime.
as time passes by players already change the way they play the game we don't know how lebron will go but its nice seeing him playing like he wanted to show the world why he's called the King even more and more players already showing up and starting to climb what lebron already achieved as long as lebron is still exist he will compete and he will always achieved.

Every player has to evolve somehow over the years to keep up with game and age. He cannot be power  playing always. He needs to be an all around player for his team and lebron achieved that. And if there comes a time he needs to change hisbgame again, i know he would. And that is why he can get a higher pay.
