Those people that are winning are really attracting us because we are thinking that we can be the same like them. But even it is human nature, we can do something about it. We just need to minimize our jealousy to those people that are showing their winnings so that we will not be attracted by them.

I don't think that there is a big problem in trying copy those that have profit in gambling. Well if it profit form casino games, then there is nothing you can do about it. There is nothing to copy, since it's based on luck, but when it's consistent profit from skill gambling, then you can try to learn from them. If they can do it, so could you.

There's no copying that's happening but it's all about the convincing profit that those gamblers are getting. And if you play gambling with the impulsive way that is going to make you on trigger to be like those people that earned a lot. But the reality, they might be lucky enough for that day and it's hard to happen for us.

How do you know if this is your lucky day? It's very easy to determine because if you are playing for example sports betting and you bet for a lot of teams, ex. 5 games and all of those games won then you are considered to be on your lucky day. And if you only won with 3 out of 5 games still you are lucky because the percentage of winning is high.
4283  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does experience matter in gambling? on: May 06, 2017, 09:59:55 AM
Yes, it does. But I only think what makes it better when you have many experience in gambling is controlling your greed  and emotions. I know most gamblers will agree me especially those are professional in this field. Your experience in gambling doesn't make you good in gambling but instead  you will know when is the right time to stop or the profit's are enough.

Experience in terms of behaving in gambling ,not literally on the strategy of gambling. Your right that gambling requires us to be in control and know to limits our spend and games to be able to earn and not get lose at all.

And if you are already an experience gambler you know how to handle pressure and almost everything that you are facing in gambling. You will know how to get into a certain situation and get out of it in the nicest manner. And it's a great help that you know already how to control your emotion when you are an experienced gambler.

I hope that this pump will happen for a longer time. And I hope also that those whales aren't going to start the selling so that panic sellers will not do the same. The movement of bitcoin's price right is very calm and it's in the favor to all of us if this is going to continue then everyone that is holding for a longer time will be happy.

i know this is just not a temporary pump.
as you can read the news, there are so many good news happening basically on the ETF, the big company and investors that are planning to invest on bitcoin. that is why we need to collect more bitcoin and hold it tight.

It is what I'm believing too. And if you will check the price of bitcoin right now. It looks like it will be stable and it's new floor price will be ranging from $1,400 - $1,500+ and it will become higher if the ETF will have a positive result. But I'm also expecting that there would be some dumping by the panic sellers although it's not going to have a big impact.

The price has been more stable in the last couple of weeks or so. Well dumping is inevitable, but I think the price will not be hit hard if ever there is one. Maybe just a hundred dollars below but it will not go down under $1000. If ETF is approved(which I doubt) then bitcoin will again sky rocketed its price. But that remains to be seen as the review and the subsequent result is not yet public.

We are not just noticing that there's some panic selling or dumping that's happening right now, why? Because the price is still too high for us and it really doesn't affect us though every pump and dump really matters for us who are holding bitcoins. ETF will be a good boost for the price of bitcoin but well we don't have to hope for it, if that will be approved then let's be thankful but if won't, there's nothing new.

I generally try to avoid many of the casino's most of the time, but I really do get a sudden Impulse of going to the site if some other person brags about their winnings lmao.

You are being attracted easily and you are jealous when those people are bragging their winnings. I'm also an impulsive gambler and I just go anytime I want but that's not a good idea. You are thinking that their winnings can also happen to you which is a human nature and behavior, our hearts are beating fast when see something like that.

yes, impulsive gambling is very dangerous. Others win will impress us to play gambling. But the end of the day we lose our money. But this is human nature we can't do anything. We always follow trial and error method. In this case, we make the trail with our friends if they succeed, we will follow them, but the thing is we lose our bets. So I always prefer for planned gambling.

Those people that are winning are really attracting us because we are thinking that we can be the same like them. But even it is human nature, we can do something about it. We just need to minimize our jealousy to those people that are showing their winnings so that we will not be attracted by them.
4287  Other / Off-topic / Re: Is it possible for us to hack some gambling sites? on: May 05, 2017, 12:39:00 PM
It's too hard and the people that manage to hack gambling websites, sell the exploits on the deep web as zero day exploits for very high prices, or keep it to themselves and keep using the exploit until it gets fixed, so this is a business within itself with very experienced people trying to find exploits 24/7, so as an amateur forget about it.

I don't understand why there are people that are thinking this way. Why not they just work out for themselves so that they won't be robbing casino's just for their own happiness or in the first place why they need to gamble. And with those exploits, I really don't believe with those people that are selling in the deep web, most of them are scam.

Even the price is high, there are still peoples doesn't care about the price and keeping to play with their bet size and what do you think about those high rollers on gambling site with current Bitcoin's price. Like users have said, try to decrease your bet value if you're afraid with the price.

Well that's true, because whether the price is high or not the denomination of the price. Gamblers will really don't care at all and it's even an advantage for us because if you are a small time gambler then your small amount of bitcoin's can now be considered as higher one. So you need to set it to a lower amount.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs Toronto Raptors , i will bet for Cleveland Cavaliers to win .
San Antonio Spurs vs Houston Rockets , i will bet for San Antonio Spurs to win .

I'll bet for the the same choice with the Cleveland Cavaliers vs Toronto Raptors, though Raptors is one of the best choice of the gamblers especially the sports bettors. And with the match of San Antonio Spurs vs Houston Rockets, I will go against with you. My choice is this game will get by Houston Rockets, I've seen on how they are playing for this season and I believe they can make it.

i betted on the same but i did not expect spurs to lose that bad. Omg that game 1 proves also james harden is a debatable MVP offer mr. 3ple double. That game 1 was really shocking but game is still on going and it seems spurs is getting the upper hand. rockets now could become a threat once they are in there homecourt. Imagine there gameplay at homecourt just by looking at there game 1.

James Harden has what it takes to become the MVP for this season, he has an extreme unbelievable skills and mind setting. And my bad, the San Antonio Spurs did win for their 2nd game. The series was tied now at 1-1. I'm not really into home court advantage but when in comes to crucial series like playoffs, it has a big advantage.
4292  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling problem on: May 04, 2017, 08:17:34 AM
The problem is not gambling. Problems in the us. We can't control their actions in pursuit of easy money. If you know how to control themselves then there will be no problems.

I second the motion, gambling is not the real cause of problem but us who are mistakenly treating it the wrong way. Many gamblers are treating gambling as the best and fastest source of income and that is really wrong. Because if you will treat this as source of income, you are putting your life into gambling too, not all the time you can win in gambling.

This is completely true

You need to know gambling is for fun
Not a reliable source of income

Gambling is here to make us have fun, enjoy the thrill, sometimes win, sometimes lose
But most importantly - have fun

Everything else is dangerous for us

And if you are just going to have fun in gambling, let it be. Take the time for enjoying every satoshi's that you are gambling. And if ever luck is with you be happy, if ever you lose still be happy. Don't think that it is the way of earning, think that whenever you are winning. That's just another bonus together with the fun on the side.

You just need to clearly allocate the amount that you are ready to lose for gambling. With the right approach from this process, you can enjoy, not an uneasy state.

But if you will going to continue this type of allocation you are saying that will end up into addiction. And there's no use for it to give up gambling, you are just giving yourself another problem and headache. That will result for having another difficulty to quit in gambling because you will think about the amount you are ready to lose.
4296  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do small investments make sense? on: May 03, 2017, 07:51:26 PM
I guess small amounts make sense when you want to diversify into many small streams. Also, I guess have to start somewhere, so maybe it is a good chance to let people dip their feet into the water for investing.

For me, small investments does really make sense too. Even you can't diversify it because it is very limited to do it. But the situation is that, how you are going to depend on that small investment or how you are going to grow it. The amount really matters and even it is small as an investor every cent that you are investing counts.
4297  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: May 03, 2017, 03:09:21 PM
Yes, your money will be safe on the bank but you are just missing it to make more money. But if you are going to take some chance of it by investing somewhere, you are making a bright choice. So it's like that, save some in the bank and put some it into an investment that you know that you can grow it.
Now is a good thing to keep the money you have, especially if it's in the form of bitcoin. Well, having a lot of bitcoin right now is definitely going to be really profitable, because its price goes up, so I think, holding it would be better if it was in bitcoin form.

Let's declare money as real money or fiat or physical money so that others won't be confused on what "money" we are talking about. When it comes to saving, then bitcoin is more profitable and with the current price of it. If you ever had those bitcoins you are holding earlier when the price is still low, then you got some profit from it already.
4298  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: May 02, 2017, 05:47:43 PM
Is it better to save money in bank or invest it online, in real estate or maybe gold?
It is much better to invest than saving money, although I'm not saying its bad, of course not. it is just in investing you can get profit in ashort period of time unlike in saving money, it is not but in saving it is very safe than in investing.

Yeah saving it on the bank will gain you but it's very low, it's like you save $1,000 there and you'll earn $1 or $10 if I'm right. But it's good to save some money in the bank because that will tell you on how wealthy you are and that is something needed by everyone of us. And if your focus is earning at this moment, then go invest.
It's better because the risk is almost nonexistent. Saving in the bank will be the way out if you do not dare to invest. But want to benefit from save. You can keep all your money in the bank

If you are going to keep all your money in the bank, you might miss a lot of chance to grow it more. Because if you will just let your money sleep in the bank you can grow almost nothing as the interest that is going to give you by the bank is not that big. You can save some of it in the bank and invest it to some profitable investment.

Saving some part of your funds in banks is a good way to keep your money safe but you should not forget the fact that your money will never grow by saving it in banks and if you want to grow your money then you should take a risk of investing in different projects after doing a good market research.

Yes, your money will be safe on the bank but you are just missing it to make more money. But if you are going to take some chance of it by investing somewhere, you are making a bright choice. So it's like that, save some in the bank and put some it into an investment that you know that you can grow it.
4299  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Play with your profit or not? on: May 02, 2017, 02:29:55 PM
Depends on your goal. If just for entertainment, then probably put down a portion of your profit.

Mostly people are gambling just for the profit and I think it's better to go for both things while your goal is profit, have time to enjoy your bitcoin while gambling. And if ever you are going to lose, that will end up into enjoyment and if ever you will win some amount, then your on a win-win situation which is good for a gambler.
Yes, people do come for the profit and clearly they come for a quite speedy and more profit with the risk of a huge loss. The state of this risk differentiates gambling and business. If things ends with a joyful situation this is great part of the game and when sometime it goes wrong then you need to stop at the time before it get to the worst.

Most of us knows that gambling is the fastest way to have money. And that's why there are some that is making this as a source of income. A gambler that will deny that he is not playing for profit is either he is already rich and he just want to have fun or he really doesn't want others to know that he is gambling for the profit.
Its not always the case that gamblers do deny that they are playing gambling for making money out of it.Some may say that because they are ashame to be called as an gambling addict that's why they deny that they aren't playing for money.Yes,thats true there are people like that and one example is my friend he still keeps denying as of now that he isn't longing for making money on playing gambling,hes not rich.
Playing with profits is normal and most gamblers do the same thing.

Yes, it is normal in gambling that people are going to look after it because most of us wants it. And we can't blame those gamblers if they don't wanted to classified as addicted gambler. They don't care about us what is important to them is money and that's why they keep on gambling, for thinking to become wealthy.
4300  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you use analysis when play gambling? on: May 02, 2017, 02:11:53 PM
To be honest, I really cannot get the idea of analysing the bets that have been won/lost, because if it is random then it does not matter what was the outcome of the bet.
Im obviously talking about the dice only, because the thing is totally different when it comes to the sport betting. In such a case, you need to make an analysis of a really big number of matches, to be able of predicting if the team that you are willing to bet on, is going to win.

I usually have some kind of tactic to play, which pretty much covers me up with a big loss: I always do some kind of a goal to achieve and also I make up the stop loss for myself (in gambling, obviously)

If you talk about dice only, than definitely you don't need to analysis, but if we play sports betting, than should need to analysis and use the skills. Otherwise, all we know that our winning is depend on our luck but instead of it we use the analysis in sports betting. But obviously in dice nothing we need analysis, just play it and see the luck, what your luck decide to give you win or lose. 
Games would not be fun if you will not learn to analyze it, for me regardless of the games I played I always use analysis because not only choosing a technique to win that is important but also to learn how and when to stop depending on your bankroll movement.

Analyze cannot be applied to every game you play. Analyze can be applied in poker, black jack by counting the cards when playing in real life and in sport betting where you can read info about teams or players in general. You cannot apply a winning technique for example when playing dice or slots.

Yeah it is not applicable to all games that you are playing. There are certain games that you can use appropriate analysis. It's just like an advantage for doing an analysis but don't expect that it can be your winning card in gambling, that will be good to give you some chances of winning but there's no guarantee on it.
