4221  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What did you buy for money won? on: May 20, 2017, 11:46:14 AM
-snip-

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.

Greed is human nature and also the only purpose of gambling is greed either monetary greed or greed in the wish to win something.
So how you are going to control your greed? Its true that gambling is hard to control, it is why many of us are keep on having a bad day or failed relationship with their family because of greediness. If we want to control greediness, just remember that the love of money will make you greedier.
4223  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to quit Gambling for good? on: May 19, 2017, 09:33:02 AM
If you enjoy gambling it's not necessary to stop, you just have to plan how much you can afford to spend on it in, say, per week. But if you are greedy and you want to make quick money, and you want more and more even when you have won a bit, then it's a different story, and gambling has little to do with it. Greedy people, even if they quit gambling, pretty soon will find a way to turn their own life and life of their relatives to hell again.

That is exactly what I am doing and by doing it this way then Im not going to ruin myself. I control what I gamble and only use a small amount. When you cant quit your gambling habit, this is what you should do. If you can even do this as well then nothing can help you, so far this has helped me alot

Well greediness is the one that we need to stop and if you did successfully removing your greedy attitude, everything will followed. And it's a given thing that you can't quit gambling instantly, so you will have to be patient and help yourself that you can quit gambling a little by little because it's like a practice that you need to remember.

Correct, and if one succeeds in that endeavour they will have a good experience for the future life. They will be able to fight any addiction, not only gambling. As we all know, gambling is not the only addiction we can encounter with.

Yes it is not the only addiction that we need to fight. There will be more to come but if you are able to beat this addiction for sure you will be good on helping yourself with whatever you will do. And to be able to be successful in quitting, you need some peers on it so that you have some walls to lean on.
4224  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What Happen If Gambling was not introduced? on: May 19, 2017, 12:47:14 AM
If gambling is not introduce maybe people are just living simple and normal.
There is no gambling to waste their money and time.
Bankruptcy also will take place  if gambling is not introduce.

Bankruptcy will always be there even there is no gambling, just like in the banks they are declaring bankruptcy when they started to audit that expenses is bigger than profit. And I agree with you, if gambling is not introduced for sure those addicted gamblers will not learn on how to gamble their money and they will spend it wisely.

I think even gambling wasn't introduced the gamblers would find another way to waste their money. The addiction is inside people's mind and not in gambling game. Addicted people are sick and problematic and will surely cause problems in another moments and events of their life.

Maybe they will be wasting to another place or hobby where they are going to enjoy themselves. And for sure that will effect into a severe addiction too but not just with gambling or it can result into a better hobby where people will get attach to recreational activities or sports. If there's no gambling maybe I'm focusing now with basketball.
4225  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: May 18, 2017, 11:52:17 PM
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.

Cavs have no match, wow, game 2 cavs will win
What do you mean by Cavs have no match? They don't have no match against Boston or they don't have an upcoming match? Well if you are pointing out about their next game, it's on Saturday. It's a crowd favorite that Cavs will win and they are the ones that will face in the finals with Golden State Warriors.

Getting rich through gambling could only happen ever in someone's life who is lucky out of millions and has great luck in their support because it would not become possible for those millions to reach their goals due to their addictive bets where emotions win over technicalities and analysis goes into garbage and they lose over their capital.

Don't forget that casino owners are already rich because of gambling but the other side of it is you know that there are people losing their money or bitcoins in return to your favor of profit. But also there are times that they are experiencing some problems and near to bankruptcy in the first tries, as they move on those who are striving to work for their business are the ones who are becoming successful.
Casino owners are getting richer because a lot of gamblers loves to have fun and when they have fun they need to spend their money, actually if you would ask me about the best business in crypto, I would say running a gambling site, I am pretty sure it will bring good money in the hands of the investors. I have my journey investing in casinos and most of the gambling sites I have invested are profitable so I have a share of their profit as well but they made way bigger than mine or investors like me.

It is the best business in the crypto world and it is truly giving them riches and will put them to success. But it only happens to those that are keep on moving because to those people that are stopping with their gambling business it's truly hard for them to keep on moving in a gambling business because they are thinking negative on it.
4230  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Cash is better than Bitcoin. on: May 18, 2017, 02:56:00 PM
Chash is better than Btc because cash is real world mony not virtual mony.And Bitcoin is virtual mony.Cash aallow every place.But Bitcoin not allow every place.

Both are good, cash is good and as well as bitcoin we just need to know on what we prefer to use so that we can have enough time to choose what is the best currency that we really wanted to use. But for me, I'll always go for cash because there is no shopping center or physical store that is allowing me to pay bitcoin for my purchases.
4231  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you convince people into you using Bitcoin? on: May 17, 2017, 08:05:02 PM
I have never convinced anyone to use Bitcoin because I do not think that they will understand about it. Therefore, I never waste my time to do those jobs. I'd rather spend more time to make money with bitcoin

Sometimes it's good to socialize with other people and just don't think always with the potential profit that you can get, because it will be hard for you to get some new friends to talk you about bitcoin or crypto currency if you will think that way. You are immediately thinking that they won't understand it or you are thinking that they will reject you?
4232  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When to leave the game? on: May 17, 2017, 07:58:28 PM
well if you have enough profit, well stop is the best option because as you bet and win, the chances that you will lose is higher and higher everytime and also learn to control yourself in terms in profit controlling yourself from greed will always result income.
It's hard to say that you can have enough profit for this day, it's a good thing if you will allow yourself set a limit for this day. But only set a daily limit or threshold that is very realistic and possible to happen because sometimes there are gamblers that are setting up a limit but they are not able to reach it because it's too high. And you should follow that limit and just leave the game after.

With the recent price, I prefer to convert it into fiat and wishing the price will move down then I can buy it again. But if the price won't move down for more than a week I will send the money to my local bank account.

This is a good way of using your winning for good, because if you know that you are going to be a good investor with that amount. It's much better to use it for something valuable and profitable. But if you are going to wait for the price to move down, it will be hard for you to see the price of bitcoin go down, just go with alt coins.
The normal trend will happen that when bitcoin pump alts will be dumping so it is always good to buy at that situation. When you cash your money out you might be tempted to spend it with other things, the amount you allocate for investment must only be for investment, our lack of patience an discipline will make us cash out early and will regret later.

But I was just thinking why there's a need to buy if you are into bitcoin gambling already? Why there's a need to convert because you can store your bitcoins already somewhere or even in your cold storage? Just like what you said because when we hold cash we can be tempted to use it for other purposes even we don't want it to.

End of game:
 
Spurs 100 - 136 GSW

Also the Warriors won every quarter.

Was an easier win for GSW than I expected

LOL that was easy for Golden State Warriors I thought that Spurs, they are going to make this game harder for the Dub Nation but I was wrong. Well whatever is happening to them, I know Coach Pop has something to do for the next 2 games at their home court. And let's remove that Kawhi is the only player that can bring the team.

Congratulations for Boston Celtics for their hardwork since the beginning of the playoffs. They surely tired for every effort they are doing in every game.

But that hardwork is not enough to compete and dominates Cleveland Cavaliers. I don't want to be biased here, Im not even a fan of Cleveland Cavaliers but surely Cavs will take away all efforts that Celtics did to make it to Eastern Conference Finals.

Just imagine, without Lebron James on the floor for Cavs and Isiah Thomas for Celtics, who would win? Cavs is having a bad record for playing without Lebron James but in this case, it's Celtics. Also Cavs performance at playoffs is different compare to their season games.

Don't underestimate the Boston Celtics, I'm not a Cavaliers fans to but it looks like you are treating them as an underdog. Sometimes Lebron is playing like a kid and there were times that it is not because of him that the Cavs is winning. The ball is round and everything can happen in a split of a second but I admit that Cavs has the advantage.

4238  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When is Gambling Like Investing on: May 16, 2017, 08:12:48 PM
I'm not a fan of gambling by itself, but instead as a way of studying and learning about other things.  For instance, I'm sure that if elderly people kept playing card games, it would help keep their minds alert.  Studying poker involves studying human nature and probabilities.   There are other aspects like studying risk in gambling, which is like studying risk in investing. 

Does anyone have any examples of how gambling is like investing?


Gambling can be investing only when you invest in the house . I say it as gambling because it contains risk too ( Casino Bankrupt ) , other than this I don't think gambling can be investing but I have heard that people used to invest in a group of BJ players who mastered card counting , not sure if its true.

Yes this is the only way to make gambling like investing because if you are not going to do it there's no sense to gamble and call it as an investment. It is not investment when you are going to think that you are gambling, they are totally completely different. But if you are going to put some of your bitcoin to a casino bankroll then that's investing.

It's hard to stop gambling when you are addicted to gambling so much. The only thing you can do is forget what you always do. You better go out of your house and do some activities that will divert your attention to it.

As you mentioned it's hard to stop gambling if you are addicted to it. And with your suggestion that the only thing he can do is to forget what he always do which is gambling. Do you think that will be an easy thing for him? But by making himself busy on such important and other things can help him to get out of it.
4240  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you Rich from Gambling? on: May 16, 2017, 02:42:06 PM
I'm generally very interested in myself. Can a man become rich in gambling, and came to the conclusion that it can only be if he rips off some Jackpot. Although there are people who play casinos constantly for some of their own technologies and practically make a living well enough And at the same time gambling makes them one means of making a profit and quite large.

It is the only way to become rich in gambling by only hitting the jackpot or by winning gambling games on a daily basis. I'm not a rich in gambling and it will only be a dream for me. I want to become rich but not with gambling because everything that can be get with gambling will also be gone fast, so I want to become rich with my hard work.
