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.

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.

4204  Other / Off-topic / Re: Is it possible for us to hack some gambling sites? on: May 23, 2017, 09:39:22 PM
Maybe if you're good at hacking, it will be very easy for you. But for me, well, I do not really understand the code like that, so I think it's impossible, and I do not want to do it if I can, because I have my own way to earn money.

There's nothing that is "very easy for you" even those people that are working to steal others fund will have hard time to hack those reputable gambling sites. Because most of have tight security and they invested big money for the security. If a gambling site doesn't have a tight security, he doesn't know what he's doing.
4205  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your reason to gamble? Fun or profit? on: May 23, 2017, 03:34:21 PM
I only gamble for fun. I have tried various gambling games and betting strategies, but the end result is always the same, I lose. Now I just gamble for fun.

I don't have choice, when I'm trying to gamble for profit the same thing is happening just like what you said. But I won't be giving up with my reason on gambling for profit and together for having fun. If ever there will be the worsts time comes to me, I'll just make a reasoning out of that result and will consider that I'm only gambling for fun.

I think you should start gambling in limits and that also with a small bets so even if you loose you will not get panic and if you win then it will give you good money in quick time as to save a better future I think we should stay away from gambling or else it will surely ruin our lives.

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.
4206  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is better? To gamble or to invest? on: May 23, 2017, 03:13:27 PM
I will go for investing my money in trading altcoins instead of wasting them on gambling as I am very well aware about my luck as it will never give me positive results and now I am not at all interested in loosing my hard earned coins behind gambling as it will take long time for me to earn them back.

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.
4207  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as a source of income? on: May 23, 2017, 02:57:10 PM
Bitcoin is actually becoming an alternative source of income for the unemployed remotely to make a living. It is providing part time work at home globally to all and sundry and so I agree that it's a source of income.
It's a good source of income if you know how to do it well. If you will make this as your main source of living, just make sure that you can do it. For miners, I know they are making this as their main source of income as for sure most of them already got the ROI. And for traders, I think many are already treating it as their career.

Big miners can afford to depend only on bitcoins for living as they have invested huge money into it and they are also making regular income from it but mining is not possible for everyone at this stage and if you have limited ways to earn bitcoins then its better to treat it as an extra income.

Those miners from the past are the ones that are now stable for making mining as their source of income. And for those new ones that are thinking and wants to try out to quit their jobs and will certainly go for mining, it's not profitable anymore. Alt coin mining is better today because difficulty level on bitcoin mining is increasing.

You know you're a bitcoin gambler when you have a spare time and you are using it for dicing. And as you dice, you will check upon some daily bets and results on a sports betting website and excited to see the profit you've bet with your past bet. This is the normal cycle of an employee that is doing bitcoin gambling everyday.

4211  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: May 22, 2017, 09:33:52 PM
Let's think different. In general terms gambling is not totally right, but  in fact according to other people says gambling is fine till you are  not hurting anyone, or your getting addicted into it. but for me gambling is not really good to become a habit, even you do this for fun or entertainment it is wrong. Gambling is wrong for some, but not all.

It's not totally right but it's not totally wrong too. It depends on the perspective of the person that gambles. If a gambler sees good result with gambling and it's happening to him very often, there's nothing wrong with it. But making it as a main source of income is going to give you a very wrong decision but if you can take the risk, it's up to you.

It may be a personal opinion to think whether gambling is right or wrong but gambling is illegal in many countries and people think gambling will make a negative impact on people's family.
Gambling is like any other fun game when it is played within the limits and when you are not addicted to it.

Yes, we have our different opinions and as long your opinion is detailed, every opinion should be considered. For those countries that has a law about gambling, it's a wrong thing for them and they need to follow the law for that country. There will be an appropriate punishment when it comes to violating the law about gambling prohibition in that country.

I think what we are discussing here is what you you would buy in case you win something from the casinos. I don't think we are discussing about storing bitcoins or buying bitcoins to deposit it in the casinos. It's nice to read about what other people use their winnings on, it gives us an idea on what to spend it on.

There are gamblers that are choosing not to buy or spend their winnings because they think that it will be profitable for them if they won't use it. And if you win some good amount, there's no need to be forced on buying whatever you want because it's up to you. It's your money and you are the one to decide what you want.
I think choosing not to spend ends up in a regret of why didn't you spend some of your money but if am gambling with bitcoin and make a profit i just reinvest it in buying other altcoins or buy myself a good gadget

It is not going to give you a regret if you will not spend your bitcoin. Because as the price of bitcoin is increasing, the possible chance of making good profit is there and it's better if you will spend your bitcoin in whatever you want. But make sure that you will not regret for deciding whatever will be your choice for using your own winning bitcoin.
its not really regretful on not using our bitcoin and as you said price of it does increase which is also considered as interest which is good.I would rather save bitcoin than spending it on useless things but when it comes on gambling winning amount i would really use it on buying gadgets and save some of it.

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.

I prefer gambling more than investing.Because in gambling it is your money in your own pocket,all lose or profit made by you is yours.But in invest your money  gone to anothers pocket,if they give you profit,you get the profit,and if they scam ,you lose all of your money for anothers fault.

I will always choose to go with investing because this is better for me and if I'm going to choose gambling, I will experience hardships when it comes to saving my profit. Because I can't help myself that I'm going to use that money to keep on gambling instead of saving it for good. And in investment, it's better to hear that you have it.
Its more advantages in investing than to gamble and it wont help you unless you are playing not for money matters you play your money that you can afford with no greediness .When it comes to saving it is not based on gambling or investment it is only on yourself how you use your money to save.

I will not going to play gambling only for entertainment or fun, I will gamble for profit but still when it comes to guaranteed profit, investment is always the best source of it. I'm not going to depend with gambling as I know how hard it is to depend with it and there's a chance that I can lose more if I'll continue my plan there.

4216  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Giving up gambling is not easy on: May 21, 2017, 01:33:08 PM
This is also like giving up smoking, but gambling can give hope for a big win and it's even more difficult to quit than smoking Grin

I'm trying to compare gambling and smoking addiction. In gambling, when you became addicted into it, it's either you will live a good life being wealthy for having a good winnings or living poorly for losing a lot. In smoking, you will buy a smoke and sip it out and you'll get lung cancer and other diseases that is coming from a cigarette. I guess you are right that it's easier to quit with smoking than gambling.

The only way to get wealthy from gambling is to win some jackpot, which happens to one in a million players. If you are got addicted, you are very likely to lose all money that you deposit, because addicted players never stop, and unstoppable betting is a sure way to lose your money. Smoking is a physical addiction, and lung cancer usually develops only after many years, and not everyone get it. So, smoking hurts slowly, while the damage of gambling addiction depends on the person, it can vary from slow draining of funds to quick falling into debts.

If you want to become wealthy in gambling you don't have to win a jackpot or anything like that. Because as long as you are getting positive results when you gamble that will be the start of having a good winning momentum. But if you will keep on experiencing winning and you want to quit, do you think it will help you to quit?
4217  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: May 21, 2017, 01:25:14 PM
Controlling your emotion is needed because when you came up to the point that you have enough winning for this day. Your emotion will tell you to keep on gambling because the luck is with you but in reality that will be the time of your falling down. It's going to be a disaster if the house managed to recover all your winnings for not being satisfied.

There should be no emotion involved in the game. First of all, it is a matter of luck so either you are angry or happy it wont really affect the result. Sometimes when you are losing, you lose control of yourself as well and thus betting more than what you could afford . It is just fool to lose control of yourself over such thing

If you are angry, it will affect the way you are going to gamble. And if you are aware if you don't able to control your emotion, that will lead you to non stop betting. What do you mean by a fool to lose control over himself? So those gamblers that are losing their control of emotion are fool when they can't control themselves?
4218  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: May 21, 2017, 01:10:32 PM
I don't know if that is for real, I read out a news on the facebook that Coach Pop announces that Kawhi is not going to play for the next match. This will be hard for them and I searched it out through google if that news is for real. And I found this one  Undecided http://www.nba.com/article/2017/05/20/san-antonio-spurs-kawhi-leonard-ankle-out-game-3-warriors-ap Good luck Spurs.

I think Leonard will likely sit the entire series with Golden State. He don't need to pressure himself otherwise the injury might get worst. They just have to look at the future and not this series with Golden State or this year championship. You rather concede this series with them, go back healthy next year, rather than pushing yourself, aggravated yourself and be out till next season or worst your career getting over.

12 points lead made by the Golden State Warriors. Look on how the team of Spurs managed to fight against the GSW. Though they played without Kawhi Leonard. And there's another player that has a knee injury that is David Lee. This is really bad for the whole Spurs team and I don't think they can sweep GSW just to be able to get into the finals.

Even though I gamble a lot, I have never been addicted and will not call myself an addict, I always gamble within my means and I have never borrowed money just to gamble that's really stupid and only addicted gamblers do that. No one is guaranteed to win so why borrow to gamble at all.
It's a good thing if ever you never been addicted to gambling. With my experience, gambling is addictive because it is a normal way of having fun. When you started to win big money that will make you think about it again and again so in the end that is going to give you a good insight that it will be your lucky day again that is leading you to addiction.
That's what I thought also, that it's a great way to have fun but definitely, control your emotions. That's the problem that you can have, especially if you experience a lot of winning, just like you said.

Controlling your emotion is needed because when you came up to the point that you have enough winning for this day. Your emotion will tell you to keep on gambling because the luck is with you but in reality that will be the time of your falling down. It's going to be a disaster if the house managed to recover all your winnings for not being satisfied.
