block your internet  Grin Grin
That will help for people sometimes but not always, because see it is like you leave the college because you do not like a teacher. You have to cure the disease friend, stop using internet also means you can not earn anything then. Better block gambling sites. But that too not effective in my own experience.
Since you are the one why blocked it, you can always unblock it anytime you feel the urge to gamble again. You are just fooling yourself for doing that. The best way is to find a professional to help that can guide you to cope out of your gambling addiction.

i think trading is consider gambling too, you are playing against the market, you don't really control what the result will be and all traders are looking for the right time to exchange for them to profit.

Of course you don't control what will be the result of your trades. But you have the control when to exit a trade. You can guess wrong, and the price goes opposite your prediction, but if you don't exit the trade it is just paper loss. All you have to do is.wait until the price goes your way, and it will. Just wait for the right time to.exit and you are profit.

Gambling does not do anything with my life, cause of I am trying to stay away from it. I gam plea several times before and only loose, that teach me that there is no 50/50 chance that you can win. So no gambling in my life. I advice you all to do the same.

I just hope they would listen to your advice but no, they will not. Gamblers will continue to gamble no matter what you say to them. It is their life and they will be responsible for it. If it wrecked their life , then there is no one to blame but them. And if by chance they won a jackpot, then good for them.
4224  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When gambling makes you cry. on: July 02, 2016, 02:05:05 AM
I think the worst thing that would make anyone cry and probably get very violent too, would have to be about these poor people who tell these horror stories of how The won massive amount but the casino wouldn't send it to him (using their normal lame excuses such as accusing you of cheating or manipulating something or whatever) so that sure would suck.

It would surely make anyone cry if someone doesn't get the money he have won from gambling after spending that much time for it, but i think that doesn't happen often, i've never heard such a story where the winner didn't get the money he has won in a gambling site.

I am still to hear this. I have not heard anyone not being paid yet in casinos. But that would be really painful if you cannot get the money you won honestly. But I do not think people will actually win big in casino unless it is rigged. Most of them will cheat just to win big like the one I heard before where someone hacked an online casino and won a lot of bitcoins.

If the stability in the price of bitcoin came then everyone will adopt this currency and we can then earn bitcoin from a number of more places also and there will be then a uniform gradual increase in the price of bitcoin, then I think we have to go for bitcoin earning.

Traders will have a hard time earning if the price of bitcoin will be too stable. A little.fluctuation here and there will not.hurt. and if you really believe in the currency, there are a lot of income generating tasks that you can do. But if you are not comfortable with it, then doing it for part time would be enough for you.

Law enforcers have better things to do I promise you. You worrying for no reason. Just relax friend Smiley . I swat team won't break into your room to arrest you. Lol

He is actually right, unless you are illegally running a casino in your country, I think you are safe. The government has better things to do than raid small time gamblers doing it online. Just do not be boastful that you are winning millions in online gambling, your neighbor might envy you and report you to authority. Other than that, you are safe.

block your internet  Grin Grin

I think block your internet is not the answer for stay away from gambling, it will make you bored and will come back into gambling. Find a new hobby is a good plan though.
Or maybe find some real life activities, like playing cricket, playing soccer and if you have no interest in these then try to watch movies and avoid gambling. Being involved in physical activities in better than uselessly blocking internet and then regretting.
Yes, that kind of activities can be very helpful as it can help the addicted people to get more entertained and involved in it to forget about their addictions ! I think its better to consult with the doctors if you are seriously addicted !

If you find a new hobby, that could actually help you forget about gambling. But if those activities you are suggesting do not appeal to a person, then even if they try it, they will just go back to gambling. They are an addict, and they will find a way to return to gambling unless there is a more addicting activities they can replace gambling with.
4228  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling problem on: July 01, 2016, 10:05:21 AM
Many people have a gambling problem but that is also there problem if they want to quit then they need to find a pother hobby that is going to keep them busy.
Gambling is only going to make them lose money with is a bad thing.

True, we do not have to specify this is wrong or right. because everyone has different ideas and have a different understanding. And in my opinion does not matter as long as the gambling-indeed we have no dependency against gambling or not gambling with the pampering and glorifies our money.

yeah gambling is wrong when the people that are playing are out of control, unless they know how to handle the game and their money in gambling, that's the time that I think it also depends of who are playing in gambling if the result of the game to them are good or either bad.
Don't say gambling is wrong because without gambling bitcoin will not also improve, it is apparent that because of the growing industry of bitcoin gambling, the demand of bitcoin is increasing and that resulted to help the increase the price.

that is so wrong!
bitcoin is improving on its own so fine that it doesn't need gambling for that. gambling can even be harmful to bitcoin's reputation and many people may even stop using bitcoin when then lose a lot and get disappointed.

No. Gambling is actually good for bitcoin. Many people are attracted to gambling and bitcoin gives them a better way to gamble. No restrictions, no identification. Just deposit and play. Nothing more. And those gamblers make transactions to bitcoin alive and demand high. So those gamblers actually are contributing to bitcoin high price.
4229  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is this what we called "addictive to gamble"? on: July 01, 2016, 10:01:15 AM
yes we cannot immediately notice that we we're actually addicted already in gambling unless we realise it eventually. we we're just enjoying the game that we are playing then afterwards we are not content of the joyful that we are wanting to have more and more with this game.
No, no. Unless you are totally oblivious person and borderline idiot then maybe you won't notice this. But numbers don't like.
If you are losing more than you earn and you still gamble everyday with hope of getting even - then it is only one answer - you are an addict.

People who don't see it are only ignoring the truth.

Or they just don't want to admit to themselves that they are already addicted because truth hurts. They'll deny it to themselves  and tell themselves that it is just a recreational activity and no harm will happen to them. But the truth is they already know that it is an addiction, there is a problem and they choose to ignore it.

hello everyone.
i want to know what do you think about gambling bitcoin.. Does Beneficial or more losses?
Share your story here guys!  Grin Grin Grin

Gambling is not beneficial. It is also addicting. Though when youre lucky youll win a big amount of bitcoin overnight but when unlucky youll lose your hard earned bitcoins overnight. Do not gamble as it is your primary source of income. If it is for entertainment then go ahead just make sure you are betting small to avoid big losses. Gambling will eat all your balance at the end of the day so my advice stop gambling.

It is really better if you totally stop gambling so that you will not give it a chance to destroy your life. Even if you gamble only for fun or entertainment, you are still open to become an addict. So, totally eliminate the risk of gambling problems like addiction and loss, get out of it as soon as you can.
4231  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should I invest in bitcoin casinos? on: July 01, 2016, 08:17:15 AM
Well, its always a smart move investing in a trusted casino, its guaranteed that you will earn in the long run, but don't expect too much in short term. And the big risk here is just if the whales win big and be too smart to go out. That's the only risk, but it rarely happens though. Cool
Even if the whales win big, the small times players will cover the loss. There are a lot of small time gambling addicts who will bet blindly on bitcoin casinos. Casinos will get their money and cover for their loss on a one time big time winner. And that winner will have to bet again someday, so the casino will get his money too someday. There is almost no lost in investing in the right casino.
4232  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much can you earn with gambling? on: July 01, 2016, 08:14:18 AM
you can earn unlimited to sport betting, but you can already lost all your money   Grin The winning depend for how many you can lose
Sports betting test your patience and selflessness, suppose you love a particular team, then you will never actually profit from gambling. Because in sports you have to use knowledge and brain not heart and feelings.
Of course you have to be realistic also. Even if you love that team, if they are against the odds, then you will have to bet for the other team. That is why you have to have a close look at statistics of competing team so that you can bet appropriately. Do the opposite and you will surely lose all your money.
4233  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: July 01, 2016, 08:09:09 AM
Because with gambling you can win so much money, with gambling you can rich , dont need hardwork just sit and play just let your lucky play and you will get big income.
No one gets rich to  gambling, and if you think having 1 btc will give you 500 btc profit then that's not the reality. People who can profit 500btc is already rich, how? Because they already have higher bankroll like example 10000btc. Gamblers who have higher bankroll can easily earn higher profit. That's how It goes. It's really impossible for people that dreaming a 1 bitcoin will make them multiply it, it will mostly make you lose your bitcoin rather than making a profit.

Getting rich from gambling is just an illusion and will never happen if you are just starting from small amount. Unless you are the God of Gambling, then maybe you can turn .00001 BTC into 1000 BTC, but that only happens on movies and not in real life. That illusion is just for greedy people, and gambling sites feed on that greed so that they get rich. Gambling addicts make the casinos rich not themselves.
4234  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are your gambling stats? (Profit/Loss) on: July 01, 2016, 08:05:22 AM
I bet btc from their faucet (0.00000200) then play until its become 0... play just for fun
Good for you, keep gambling that way don't deposit your money you'll lose for sure lol. when i run out of bitcoins i gamble with play money it's also fun.  Cheesy

Nice advice. Every gambling type has its own levels of risk.
Play money can be considered a good thing, but will not give you much as the mining fee only is 0.0002 at some sites, which is 100x the faucet mentioned by md1120.

Yeah but gambling with only the faucet will start to get old pretty soon. Unless you have a lot of time on your hands and like to make 10,000 Sats per day.
LOL, gambling from faucets? That is not exciting man, and how would put a considerable amount of bet coming from a faucet and beside you need a lot of time getting coins from faucets and that is so discouraging as when you make a lot of effort and in the end you will lose it in gambling.

He is gambling for fun and not for money. Maybe he just really likes the game and wants to play it without spending any money. SO gambling from faucet money is a good outlet for him. If you want to gamble for money or profit, you really have to put some capital in so you can easily win some profit.
4235  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Off-Season on: July 01, 2016, 08:00:46 AM
I didn't realise Lebron James is also free agent. Kevin Durant is the hottest in the market right now but will Lebron James stay in Cleveland Cavaliers? It looks like mission completed but if he decides to leave where to go then? Miami again? That would be funny. Smiley
Is Lebron really a free agent again? I did not know that he would do that after winning a champions ship with Cleveland. I am curious about where Durant is going to play I think that he needs to play at a team with good players if he is going to end up at the Lakers or something his career is going to go down hill.

He has option to stay or be a free agent. It is not a problem anyway. Maybe he will just playing to get his salary bigger but in the end he will still stay in Cleveland. If other teams offer higher amount for him, Cleveland will have to match that amount. He is one of the best player in the NBA right now, so he can demand a higher pay if he wanted.
4236  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you were rich, would you still gamble? on: July 01, 2016, 07:53:56 AM
If I were rich, I'd probably choose another way to interact with gambling - buying a casino Cheesy

That means you would still gamble once you get rich also, because right now you are gambling against the edge and then you will be gambling with the edge. lol then whats the use of getting rich Tongue

It means you can gamble all you want because you have both sides on you. YOu win if you lose gambling and you win if the house lose. Your money is not burn away because of gambling and you can spend your life gambling without the worry of losing money. Anyway, gambling is just for fun as many of here are saying. So money is not an issue, just the fun it brings.
4237  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What keeps you coming back??? on: July 01, 2016, 07:42:50 AM
I do not gamble to much but it always seems that when I do, I take the loss big time.  For example, I have lost over 3 BTC in the BustaBit game online.  It is fun and I like to play but I always get greedy with it.  I have won about 2.2 BTC back, but I lost more than what I have won.  For some odd reason, I keep coming back over and over.  I do not know why I do it, why do you?

I keep coming back for the same reason as to why I joined in the first place ~ fun/entertainment. If a person doesn't blow off some steam then you could end up like an evil version of Spock ..

Just be sure it just for entertainment, and you are not addicted yet. If time comes that habit of yours become an addiction, it will be a big problem to you. You may lose a lot of money and you will not mind it at all. So, always check yourself whenever you are going to gamble again. Be sure it is just for fun and not urge of addiction.
4238  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When gambling makes you cry. on: June 30, 2016, 05:08:05 AM
For me it can make me cry if my intended bet is 0.0001 and suddenly i bet 0.1 amount then lose and for that instance i can really roll in the floor and start crying in one day  Grin

That is really a heart break if you made that by mistake. But if you do it intentionally well it's your fault. And how it would become 0.0001 into 0.1
there's a lot of difference for it's zeroes.
Well if that happens to me also it will really make me cry.

It can happen if you fat finger clicked max amount and roll. It happened to me once and my head ached. That is like few weeks of work in signature campaign and I blew it on two clicks. What hurts most is it is not intentional. It was pure accident and I hate gambling because of that. But if I won, I would probably have tears of joy.
4239  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: June 30, 2016, 05:01:09 AM
Off course is gambling wrong what would it be if it does not called gambling but wasting of money ther are so many people addicted to gambling
It should be illegal becasue that only helps people to know what there money is worth you know now they cant see it there whole life.

gambling is not actually wrong, because the purpose of gambling only to give pleasure to everyone. But it turns out that all people respond that gambling place for profit, so that ought to be blamed are those who do the gambling for profit

It cannot be helped, because money is involved in gambling. Everything that has money in it will eventually used for profit. And gambling can cause you to be greedy because it is very easy to win in it. Just a few clicks of a button and you get a chance to win a big amount of money. So i think it is wrong because it makes you greedy.
4240  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much can you earn with gambling? on: June 30, 2016, 04:33:16 AM
There is no limit (except how long the house will let you in). But don't count that to happen, since gambling is a game where the house is meant to win.
Taking your hard earn money.
Yeah  but not all the time. Sometimes people know when to stop to avoid the house edge take advantage on them. I saw some of the pro-gamblers bet in specific site in just 10 minutes then stop.

Maybe they are just going YOLO and then stop it. If they win they win a lot because they YOLO on their bets. And if they lose, then they lose big but at least they did not spend too much time on gambling. It is a good strategy, but it does not work all the time and sometimes greed kicks in and you say one last time and you lose everything.
