i loss more than 1BTC on dice site but now im recovering that and recovered almost half of that and still recovering if i recovered that all i will still play for fun cause i love dice game and i'm pretty addicted on gambling so i won't play for profit i just play for fun and now i created my own dice site GeoDice

Wow! That is a lot of coins to be lost in gambling dice. I would be very sad if I lose that much but each is for his own. I wish you luck on your venture to win back that loss. I really do not believe you can still win that back especially in dice because of house edge. House edge will just beat you to dust, but If that is what you really want to do then good luck.

What I like about the news recently is the move of DROSE to the knicks. New york knicks is a good market so he can be popular their when we can show the old rose. I believe Anthony would love to play with a very good point guard, another big 3 to watch with porzingis.

That could be a big three to watch out for. But I think it will take some time before they can blend fully together and show us their true power. Even the merging of wade-bosh-lebron took a year before they claim a championship. I think this will took sometime too. I also want to see again the pre-injury d-rose on the court (if he can be that good again)

It's a yes. I do spend my gambling profits every time.I commonly spend it on investments online specially on cloudminings.Also sometimes when i profited much i just withdraw my capital and play with my profit hoping to get profit from profit.But most of the time specially now i always withdraw with profit and capirql and store it

Do you make profit from cloud mining? From what I've seen, cloud mining is almost like a gamble itself, with all the cloud mining scams going on. However, I do think that it is good you use your winnings to invest.
He have the right idea on what to do with his earnings or profit from gambling, but I think he is investing on a wrong investment. Cloud mining is very risky and should be avoided. They can be doing fine now and be gone and a scam later. Too risky for a small return. It is better if you invest it on something solid like stocks or real estate if you have enough money. Or you can just invest it to bitcoin and hold a bit. In a few days it will halving and price will go crazy high.

There are allot of people gambling addict these years and that is only becasue there are so many attention to the gambling world and that is bad for everyone.

It is depend on the person who are playing that can't control them self. gambling is wrong if they know their limitations. Some people gamble just really for fun, and not to gain profit. don't gamble if you want to earn money, there is no easy money in this world. I guess sometimes but sooner or later it will also disappear as fast as you also gain that money!

This is definitely true man some people just do it for the joy of just relaxing and letting their mind free from maybe a hard day at work and just wanna have a little bit of fun with their money and chill out.

Gambling is an issue to some though taking a lot of their money away

Everything starts there. You just want to free your mind thru gambling, so you play. Then it becomes a habit and you will play even if you are not tired or want to relax. You will play because after gambling for so long, you are addicted to it already. That is where the problems begin.

It is all depend on your own individual capability to control. I have friends who has been gambling for years. Some of them became so addicted to it that they went to gamble every single day. While my other friends like to play but they know how to control themselves, so they will gather as a group, maybe 1 year twice to go oversea together to gamble

So how are your friends who are addicted to gambling now? Are they still okay, or have they grown poor since they got addicted to gambling? How are their relationships with their family? If you say they are still alright after being addicted and gambling all these years, I can say that gambling does not pose as a problem to them. But if they are suffering, then gambling has become a problem to them and should be stopped.
4265  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: is gambling fix your life? or wreck your life? on: June 27, 2016, 04:08:22 AM
I have my statistics in positive and so far have under 1 BTC profit.This amount is too little to say it fixed my life.I don't think gambling will have any positive or negative effect on me.In future don't have any idea whether it will be wrecked or not.

1btc profit from gambling is a good amount. It is hard to earn that much unless you are betting large amount. You are lucky you still have a positive profit from gambling. Some people do not have the same luck. If you continue what you are doing, it can help you greatly in your finances. I think it will not wreck you if this luck continues.
If you are into gambling a profit is not good enough for you if you are just winning it due to your luck. As a gambler we have a big pride and we love to prove to our selves that our winning is not due to luck instead we want to prove that we are good to win that much and we want to prove that we can do it consistently.

That is actually hard to do when you are gambling because you are relying in your luck if you are gambling. There is no way you can win in gambling without any luck. Unless you rig the dice or slots, then you will be just relying fully on luck. And you cannot have a consistent income or profit from gambling. Some people are just plain lucky that is why they have a positive earning from it. But for normal people like me, sometimes I win, sometimes not.
4266  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you were rich, would you still gamble? on: June 25, 2016, 02:21:27 PM
If I am rich, i will not be gambling anymore. That is for small time people only. If i am rich, i will be owning a casino and become richer each day. I can now afford to gamble because i own the house. If i lose, it will just go back to the casino which is still mine. I enjoy gambling and i earn from all the gambling addicts in the area.
4267  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When gambling makes you cry. on: June 25, 2016, 02:10:01 PM
Gambling can really make you cry but this is in my eyes also logical because losing is never fun and the most can also cry about it.
I have the same problem to be honest..
I think someone is crying because gambling is probably because they get a defeat and a very big loss. may result in all the money they cry. but I rarely hear players crying in defeat. most of them only sad but repeated gamble again
I think i never saw gamblers cry in the gambling site unless if they hit the jackpot price.. i saw many people online even locally in lottery they are cry because they hit the high jackpot price..

Because crying is a taboo for men. They will not let you see them cry because they lose a lot of money. But deep inside them, they are hurt with their losses and probably crying deep inside. That is viewed as a weakness if you let others see you cry. As much as possible they will cover it will anger or other emotions but not crying in public.
4268  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much can you earn with gambling? on: June 25, 2016, 02:01:53 PM
On short term, some of the people (lucky ones) can win, some of them lose. It is only interesting from the point of view of the single person, if he had won or not. The house edge is always there, doesn't matter if we talk about shortnor long term. So if you want to win, you should be quick enough not to let your profit get vanished by house edge on the long run.
For me, you can only say that you are a winner when you quit gambling for life with a winning record because when you are still doing gambling even if you have currently a winning record you will still lose in the long run because that's the way it should be.

I second this comment. The only way to really win in gambling is when you do not gamble anymore. If you want to make money from gambling, better enter the industry by being the house or invest in a gambling site. That is a sure way to make money in gambling, because the house always win, so be part of the house and and always win.
4269  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: June 25, 2016, 01:57:50 PM
Most people are saying that it is wrong especially those who doesnt know what is the real benefit of it , and some of them are just saying it to because they have lost too much of their money and they get very frustrated because of it .

So what is the real benefit of gambling? I don't think there is any except for the prize you win if you bet right. But that money can still be lost if you continue to gamble uncontrollably. So in the end there is no real benefit. You just wasted some time, effort and money.

I think you must more be close with religion because some religions ban gambling on this life,
What? Religion doesn't help you at all. Religion just want your money and after that nothing else. I think we're going nowehere in the topic but all I said is true and if you want to quit gambling, religion won't solve it. 
What kinds of religions who tkae your money? I said religions will help me get out from gambling because it is my experience and it was went fine. And if you think religions can not help so what is your solution?
that's right, I myself when stopped from addiction because of religion. especially if you deepen your faith, you can get away from something bad, like gambling.

It might have worked for you but it does not mean it will work for others too. What if their religion does not prohibit that, do he have to change faith just to quit gambling? Or what if he does not believe in god? Do he have to quit being atheist and be agnostic? Therr are ways to solve gambling addiction but religion is not one of them. Maybe for some, but not for all.
4271  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: June 25, 2016, 01:02:36 PM
when I won a little amount, I want to won more until I lost more
Thats a common result when gamblers are playing simply because you cant win in the long run. Thats why some are betting like theres no tommorow because you only win few times most of your gambling carreer. They like to recover all their losses and win big in one time.

That is hard to do because the bigger you bet, the bigger amount you lose. So, trying to win back your losses is hard to achieve. It is better if you forget that altogether and focus on earning your money back thru honest work. Avoid gambling at all cost. You will have more money if you do not gamble.

very well said, It is good that other people think about how to save money and not how to spend their money in gambling not because they want to loose but they really want to get more money as they expected. Focus in your work and you surely you will get a good bonus from your company instead of gambling. hehehehhe  Grin
Work is boring and gambling is not, you will feel the thrill in gambling and the chance of winning a good amount that would give you a chance to completely quit your work is so tempting that is why many small gamblers have tried their luck and most of them failed.

Do not ever think that gambling is a way for you to have a good and easy life. It is not meant for that. You will never be rich in gambling. Yeah, work is boring but it is a steady income and if you do good in it, you will be promoted. Gambling is only for stress relief and not meant as a income generating activity.

Big 3 in Knicks in 2016-2017 season. Porzingis, Anthony and Rose. I guess they are one on the team to beat next season. Rose just need to stay healthy.

Still long way to go. Rose is good but he is not performing well after the injuries he had. If he can return to his previous speed, then he can be a good help to the knicks. I wish him good luck to his new team. But I think, it will still be GSW or Cleveland to beat next year.

You may want to indulge yourself into a hobby.  Gardening, cooking, baking, or rearranging the interior of your house, or repainting it.  Maybe you could help your mom to do the household chores.  You can adopt a puppy if you do not want to marry a woman with 5 kids! Grin  Train him and teach him some tricks.  Just keep yourself busy and you will be good.

I think it will be better if he marry a woman with 5 kids. Your hands will be full taking care of your woman and the kids, so you will not have any time left to do addicting things like gambling and drinking. If you still have time for gambling after that, then adopt a puppy and train it.
4276  Other / Off-topic / Re: Will you quit your day job to go full time on bitcoin? on: June 22, 2016, 03:25:36 PM
I don't know anybody who did it personaly, but i think that people who working like this, i mean full time on bitcoin, they know and understand what and how to do to make money for living.


People who has a day job usually makes the bitcoin world as their side line. They wanted to have multiple sources of income. People who are doing bitcoin in full time are mostly people who are people who basically can't get a job for some reasons. Although not everyone who's full time on bitcoin are uneducated, there are some people that chose to make Bitcoin as their day job. Maybe because they are earning much more in bitcoins and they want to focus on it, and they just see their previous day job as a disturbance to their bitcoin journey.



Very rightly said, people who are not satisfied with their jobs or who are paid less will surely think to quit their job and get full time into bitcoin even if they are earning less bitcoin allows them flexibility to work.
I know people in my country who earns less than what a average bitcoiner earns here, so why people hesitate to make bitcoins as the main source of income ?? I will surely in a year or two quit my job and focus on bitcoins ( and maybe altcoins )

Because maybe they earn more than what they can earn in bitcoin or they just don't trust bitcoin that much or they are already happy with bitcoin as their part time income. There could be millions of reasons not to go full time on bitcoin and we can't make them quit their jobs.
4277  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should I invest in bitcoin casinos? on: June 22, 2016, 03:16:45 PM
investing in a bitcoin casino in my opinion is a good investment but it surely is not the best investment that you can do with your money.

this kind of investment is risky but has the potential to give you back a pretty good return if you are lucky and do it in long term.
Yeah long term investment is feasible, you won't make profit in the short term. there are schemes with short term profit most of them are probably scams(like those hyips).

Honestly they are not trusted and its better to stay away all of them are scam never heard that there is a legit one.. if you are lucky that you are making profit in investment site better to don't invest it again instead just hold it or use it in other activity..
Not really all the sites are scams. I have invested a few times with bitdice and others and have made quite decent profit. Yes but I agree that rather than investing saving is better as when you invest ( or just me ) then I get temped and gamble too Sad ending up divesting all money.
That's the problem with some people, sometimes even if we already invested and see our investment grow but we are not contented only seeing a small amount of growth and sometimes we tend to try to increase our profit in the riskiest way which is being a player to gamble. Just a very simple analysis, many are losing so if you are the house you are in profit therefore stay discipline and stick to investing only.

Yeah. You are already invested so your money is sure to grow. The key here is patience. When you receive dividends in your investment, take out some of it and put it in another investment. Keep repeating that and you will have a lot of money in no time. No need to gamble to increase your money.
4278  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to quit Gambling for good? on: June 22, 2016, 03:11:01 PM
in my opinion the best way to quit gambling i to quit it suddenly not slowly. just quit and don't come back.

this ways it is so much easier and faster and after leaving you should fill your time with some constructive activities that are good for you.

I wish it was that easy. Look at smokers or drug addicts, they can't quit that easy. They need time to adjust and make their body accept the fact that they will not have smoke or drugs. It should be the same with gambling addiction. The best and surest way is to remove it slowly out of your system.
4279  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016 NBA Finals on: June 22, 2016, 02:51:02 PM
What a great series, shame that someone had to lose. The chess match was amazing. I honestly thought the series was over after the first after game 2. Unbelievable effort for the Cavs to win 4 of the next 5 vs the defending champs who just won 73 games.
They are both making a history but the biggest history made was on the cavaliers, they have won the championship even being the underdog to win the series. Lebron is making a lot of effort to win in the game and to think of the effort, they are making outstanding job coming from a 1-3 deficit to be able to win the NBA Finals.
Yeah they did do a pretty outstanding job by winning the series after being down 3-1 in the series. The GSW should have not given away the series but they did.
I still believe that if Green played in game 5 that the GSW would have won in 5 games because the GSW had the momentum.

But  he was suspended because of what he did. If he was not a bad boy and not committed too many technical fouls, then he could have played game 5. There is no turning back time and what is done is done. GSW lost this series. Cavs played a great series and they deserve to be the NBA 2016 Champions, there is no doubt about it.
Whatever happened that time already happen and we have known that the cavaliers have already taken the championship. The warriors are a strong team but the cavaliers were able to figure out the weakness of warriors and beat them in 3 games consistently. In the next season the warriors will be more inspired to play well because of the devastating loss.

Green was present in Games 6 and 7 yet they still lost so this time Green is the ultimate GSW excuse much like how Cavs made Irving and Love loss for the entire series an excuse last year.

Green is the bad luck of the team. Honestly some of GSW roster too become boastful like their fans so this loss is just good to them to make them realize to still stand on the ground. Klay Thompson commenting on Lebron after they lead by 3-1 which Lebron didn't answer and just focus on the game. Back in Game 5 when Green is suspended, he proudly says that if he's been there GSW will now be champ. Look at this two player with just a one championship and able to dominate the whole season with good record, make their head really big. Good thing Lebron answers them by playing great game and now proudly won the championship.

Yes, Green is too proud of himself after 1 championship and dominating the regular season. Klay even said that they're better than the Lakers team of old.
Green is an X Factor of the team, without him their is not defense. You saw game 7 and we witness how good green is and this season he is an improved shooter and he proved it with his good shooting in the 3 point line.

Yes Green is good, he's got the body and speed as well to guard Lebron but of course not the athleticism. He's a better shooter though so if used correctly, he can average 20-10-5.
Green should stay with the warriors, I think they just need to let go of barnes and insert someone new in the 1st 5 line up. If they can get someone like who knows how to drive down the basket and aggressive it will improve more their team and would not just rely on outside shooting which is very boring to watch.

I think they are already considering on taking in kevin durant into the warriors. He would be a good addition to the warriors. They would have an inside offense in addition to their strong outside offense. The only problem they would have is they'll have one too many superstar.

Any sites you recommend?
Strategy?
You can become rich with gambling but I think that it is only possible with games like poker. Poker is a game that requires skill so not only luck.
If the game that you want to become rich with only requires luck you can forget it.

You can win a lot in poker and you can also lose a lot in it. The good thing about poker is, you can bluff your way to the pot prize even if you have  a bad hand, All you need is a very strong poker face. But in games like dice, it is hard to become rich because it is pure luck that you need to win.
