Do you gamble for fun or for profit?
Do it for both to have fun and have some profit of course,
Sometimes gambling is my way to enjoy my free time.

You cannot have fun if you are losing money.  That is the sad reality.  People speaks of gambling to have fun but once they are on it, the aim changed to having profit.  So when a losing streak strikes them, the fun thing is automatically fades away and the seriousness and frustration comes in.
If a gambler is just depositing a smaller amount of bitcoins and play with just that amount then he will not be sad if he will lose that money and he will get the fun from the game. If he will continue with that strategy forever then he will not ever become addicted to gambling.
but to me i think addicted people cannot get fun and pleasure with small amount of investment. i think they always try to play with good amount of bitcoin.

I think not all gambling addicts are like that, some that I know, gamble with their money on their pockets, but I don't know how they gamble so long even with a small amount of money, it's like they are winning some and continue gambling. But in the end they still lose, but I think if they stopped earlier, they've win a lot for sure.

You know you're a bitcoin gambler when you buy at $2500.   Cheesy

I think gamblers that usually use bitcoin will be having a lot of problem with these price to buy for their gambling activities. I think it is their time now use faucets online which can be a way to stop their addiction to gambling. But if you think about it, no one can stop them from gambling, even if the price go up, they will be still gambling and will not stop.
4403  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When to leave the game? on: May 24, 2017, 10:19:14 PM
As you know that you need to stop and leave the game? How can you feel this moment. I almost always lose their money because they can't learn when to leave the game. I'm not sorry to lose. I have a lot of money not to lose, but I can't keep the winnings if I'm lucky.
No one knows when to leave/end the game as we can not say when we can hit the target we are waiting for. However, it's better to leave the game once you have won already,  don't aim for higher profit as it can cause you to lose. It's better to continue playing the game only woth your profit to prevent lost in capital.
Well, it should be a feeling that the game is not going and you only loose. When I feel so I just give up, I don't make such optimistic hopes like "now I will get something\ now I will win\next game will be mine".

Then you are just gambling to have a profit, which is basically the door step to addiction. This is wrong, you must not feel anything, the thing about gambling is that you just need to do it and have fun, if you not enjoying the game, and bit having fun, I think you really are gambling for profit. There is nothing qwrong to aim for something like that, but if you're real goal is to have fun, you can control yourself to stop when needed.
4404  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does experience matter in gambling? on: May 24, 2017, 02:07:33 PM
as I know experience is important in some gambling games such as poker, but how about the other games like dice game or roulette, do you gain any advantage from your experience, can you used your experience to win the game? or maybe because of your experience you know whether to bet low or high in dice gam

So Does Experience matter to you?

Yes, experience really matters to me. In gambling you can win or lose, but because you have experience , you can change things and wrong decision to beat again. I'm not saying that because of experience you will totally win,but it can help you to correct the wrong moves in the past.
in fact experience can make you perfect, not only in gambling in every walk of life. if you have experience in gambling you will be more confident as compare to other people who do not have any experience in gambling. although in some format you mostly depend on your luck for making money but still if you have experience then you will be more confident and will take a right decision on right time.

I think that exaggerates everything, experience cannot make you perfect, it can just make you fine, good or expert, but not perfect. And mostly, if you are experienced, you will be more confident, but it can also lead to ignorance and addiction. It will just make you have good decisions and have a good control of yourself.
4405  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is betting a good choice for a newbie? on: May 24, 2017, 11:39:02 AM
Before one starts to gamble, the person needs to know what he or she is doing before the person spends on it , without the knowledge, the person will just spend money and eventually get nothing out of it. I wouldnt advise a newbie to gamble without knowing nothing about gambling.

Well yes one should be aware exactly what he/she is doing and what will be the repercussion of it. Also anyone who starts for the first time anything is the newbie, but if they continue doing same thing again and again becomes habit and they become professional if they understood the functioning or they become loser as they lose money in that.


As a gambler you must be really aware of what you are doing especially what you are losing. You must really think of it, you are losing money, and think what can that money do to you, if it is really small, well, if that is saved all together, I think it will be a good amount. And I don't think that even you understand the "functioning" of gambling, you will not be a professional, you are just 1 step closer to addiction.
4406  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Giving up gambling is not easy on: May 24, 2017, 09:07:46 AM
Find a new hobby to replace gambling. Try working out, learning to code, video games or something like that. I wouldn't recommend gambling with play money, the best thing to do is do some new hobby whenever you feel the urge to gamble. Just keep it up and the urge will eventually go away.

It is so easy to say, but it is a very hard thing to do for those who are addicted in gambling. Changing their waysbon how they would earn money is too complicated for them. They just want to earn money in a very easy way, yet the way that they have choose is too risky but yeah, they could earn easy money on it if they are lucky gamblers.

Yes they don't have any option they must follow the expert's suggestion and stop gambling. If they do not stop gambling, then they will lose their personal life also. Don't need to do anything just think about your family members and your future then automatically you only decide and follow the expert's suggestions how to stop gambling. My suggestion is an addict any online mobile game this is the best way to stop gambling.

This might work for some people, but in general I think those are different types of addiction. You can't win real money playing a mobile game online and that's why it's not addictive for addicted gamblers but just boring. To give up gambling they should to stop thinking of it as a source of income in the first place.

Exactly. There is no money involved so there is no thrill for addicted gamblers. Gamblers wants the rush of getting a win especially if the bet is bigger. So I don't think that online mobile games will be effective as means of giving up your gambling habits s there are no money involved.

I think it will work, online mobile games like poker will be a good way to stop addiction. It will be really effective if the game that they are playing is their favorite. And as we all know, gambling addicts do not want to lose, and if they are teased in this game, they will be more focus to play this game. Yes, there might be no money involved, but there are still bets on the game, and it is really exciting to do that especially when the pot goes high.
4407  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling problem on: May 24, 2017, 06:55:15 AM
The most gambling problem that people always encounter is when do don't feel to gamble they impulse to gamble also when they lose they always want to chase there loses from gambling they don't to try another luck on different gambling site there always a good site where they can test there luck and guts.

This happens when you get addicted and you gamble to make profit rather than play it fr entertainment. If you play for fun and enjoyment you will be your control and will take care of your losses or limit it. But if you intent to make profit then obviously you will end up in more loss since you will play more to even recover loss


I think even if you gamble for fun and enjoyment, you will be still not in control, you will be still on your greeds control, unless, you have control of yourself, mostly can be done by experienced gamblers. It is better if you gamble and think of your own way so even if you gamble, you can afford your loss.
4408  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is more risky. Sport or casino bets ? on: May 24, 2017, 05:40:47 AM
I think they have the same risk.  You cannot mitigate risk on both game once you start your bet.  It is either win or lose, we cannot do lost cutting just like in trades.  Though they have different setup, they still affected by chance and possibility and that makes them (risk) the same in my point of view.

They have the same risk but for me the risk with sports betting is way lighter. In casino bets, it's hard to depend on it because most of the time the games are always depending to the house. In sports betting, you can have the advantage as the game you are betting is not that manipulated by the house.
The house edge is never manipulate anything by the way.
It is just your feeling when it comes to a provably fair games , people tend to feel unpleasant and unsatisfied with the lost.
Where in sportsbetting you did not feel like that , that is what i am feeling.

If you think that there's no manipulation that is being done by the house. When it comes to the favor, almost all the favor from the luck based games are coming from them. So if you know what I'm saying about that, you'll get it and yes, it is my feeling when it comes to provably fair games.

There is no manipulation that is being done by the house, we must not think like that because we are ruining their names and the worst is, we don't know if it's true or not. If you do not trust a gambling site, or a casino without any basis, you must not say it to other people that gambles in the same place. We are ruining the them without them knowing what they have done.
4409  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can gambling be profitable in long term ? on: May 24, 2017, 02:45:24 AM
Because of the "house edge" gambling will never be profitable in the long term. The odds are always against the player and based on simple statistics, you will always lose.

The longer you play, the more chances of losing.

I feel short term bets would be better. Bet big, win big.
casinos play with the probability and they are know well their chance to get profit is so bright ,
people just too blind to not take a look about this ,
or maybe just ignorant ,
gambling really can't be profitable.
People get blinded by their dreams to make instant money, it's true gambling sites can give us that money if we are lucky
but think of the chances, instead of being serious with it which most likely will not bring any money in the table,
why not focus your time in other things like investing and just make gambling as an entertainment.

they are not blinded by their dreams, dreams, are more like the peak of what they want to do with their life, in terms of gambling, they are blinded by their greediness, not their dreams. But I agree with focussing on investing, maybe investing in projects and sites, and also gambling as a entertainment.

4411  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you Rich from Gambling? on: May 24, 2017, 01:08:40 AM
I still haven`t get rich from gambling but I am keep on trying. Problem for me is that I don`t have big bank roll. I`m trying to do something with small amounts but doesn`t get any success. When you have money and gamble with no pressure you can win big amounts,but when you think about gambling as a source of incoming(like me) then you may find your self in kind of a problem. So, if you invest,you can count on some fortune. Or if you are born under lucky star and `spin` some jackpot.

I think you better stop gambling just because you want to be rich and get a lot of profit out of it. What may happen will be the opposite of what you are thinking or expecting. If you really want to become rich by gambling, you better save all of that amount that you are gambling and then save it, then use it to invest in some gambling sites. And it doesn't matter if you are lucky, gambling will be making everyone broke.
4412  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your reason to gamble? Fun or profit? on: May 24, 2017, 12:20:39 AM
Do you gamble for fun or for profit?
Do it for both to have fun and have some profit of course,
Sometimes gambling is my way to enjoy my free time.
It is better to have gambling as a source of entertainment but it is a risk to have it as a source of earning money because gambling mostly depend on luck and in some part in depend on skills so I do not think that in this case anyone will earn easily.
i think if a person is playing for fun and enjoyment only then it is really one of the most expensive way of fun and enjoyment. i think there are so many other source of getting enjoyment and fun. i think gambling is only best for making money and not for anything else.

There is nothing wrong gambling for fun and "enjoyment", the reason you call it like that means that you can afford to gamble and also lose. If you can't afford doing so, it is better if you can avoid gambling because I think that you can't afford gambling for fun. There may be other ways to to have fun and excitement, but you can't stop other people to do so.

It varies from the people, they gamble for fun nust because they can afford to do so, I am also gambling for fun online, but, I am not using my bitcoins, I am using their free satoshis or faucet.
4413  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: May 23, 2017, 10:17:27 PM
Not only most of the people, everyone must do hard work to make money. Don't think people will live with this gambling money. It is not possible and doesn't ever try to make this possible. I saw in real life many people lost there money and life in this gambling. Many people attempted suicide, and more people committed suicide. So do hard work and lead your life. Don't believe on extra money.

Alot of people actually live from gambling but it is not me for sure. I keep on losing and I have wasted alot of money , I have change now no matter if it is wrong or not but I think it is wrong for me to keep gambling and wasting my money like that. Im still a gambler however because I failed to quit however with only small amount

Noone lives from gambling. Only if you very lucky you can stop and live with what you won. Just see it as a hobby and play with small amounts and stop. If not you might take all your bitcoins and lose it all. Just be responsible with your gwmbkibg and it will be fine. Smiley

There are many who lives and are been supported by gambling, especially some owners and investors of some gambling sites. They are having profits out of it, and I think they will be going to continue it as long as they are having a profit. And I don't think gambling, is a good hobby, because, when you do gambling as a hobby, it may become your habit, and habit, is a one step away from addiction.
4414  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: You know you're a Bitcoin gambler when... on: May 23, 2017, 04:24:36 PM
if they playing gambling they are bitcoin gamblers lmao i taught my friend about gambling before and he is addicted right now he turned his 0.005 bitcoin into 0.1 bitcoin for only 1 week i don't know how he did it but to be honest im really amaze of that.

Not all gamblers use bitcoin to gamble,especially these days that bitcoin is getting pricey. I think what you have taught your friend is really helping him right now, and for me that is a big win, not to mention that he will be going back to gamble again and make another risk, justt wish him luck he will not be addicted to gambling, or else, it is your fault.
4415  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is better? To gamble or to invest? on: May 23, 2017, 03:27:20 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.

I'll agree with that, I am not that big gambler, but I gamble sometimes just to have fun, release some stress, you know, putting aside my problems for a minute and have some fun gambling. I think my money is not wasted in that kind of gambling. And if you ask me, I favor gambling than investing, investing may be harder to do than gambling, but investing has higher possibility of profit than gambling, the thing about investing is, if that site or project are trustworthy or not.
4416  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you know if a gambling site is scam or not? on: May 23, 2017, 02:48:48 PM
well if you want to know the site is scam or not, check this forum. this forum is enough to determine if the site is scam or not if you not convinced, try to contact their support because the support is one of the essential things to check if they are legit. or try to test their site, deposit a little amount of money or bitcoin in their site and see the things through the fairness of the site, the withdrawals and lastly their support.
I don't think that their support of the site will tell them if they are not a legit site or a scam, it is like you are asking them to blow the whistle and lose his job. The best way is to check these forum, for me that is enough, but for you, if you are not contented on what you've read and seen here, you try other sites, maybe youtube has videos of someone having a reaction to that site.

4418  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is there any place to gamble IF the Mayweather vs McGregor fight will happen? on: May 23, 2017, 11:01:37 AM
So the match is almost done ,with Conor Mcgregor signing the deal now it is just a matter of time that Mayweather will be signing the deal and it is really a puzzling match as Mcgregor is making his debut and Mayweather planning to win his 50th fight and reach a milestone,it is going to be a really bad day for Mcgregor but he will be crazy rich after the fight.

Many people are waiting for this match up, there are many people hoping to break Mayweather's record especially when he fought Manny Pacquiao, though Pacquiao lost. Either way, I will be berring for Mayweather in this fight, I think he has the upper hand.
4419  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling problem on: May 23, 2017, 10:01:33 AM
One of gambling problem is addiction to gammling.
Because if your an addict to gammbling everything about in your life is must lost.All of you life affected because of gmbling.And maybe your family will be scatter and messy.

It is really a problem, a big problem, and I don't think that when a person gamble, he or she "must" lost, he might lost, and it happens all the time, but it doesn't mean ypu must lost. And if you really want your life to be as good, treat gambling as something else, you know, as a stress reliever maybe or an entrrtainment, in that case it will not be a problem.
4420  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is BTC for you? on: May 22, 2017, 05:23:45 PM
BTC and the concept of cryptocurrency are something that got my attention some years ago. I believe that it is the answer to several problems that we face today, and will help millions in the next years. BTC itself is a great asset to store wealth and an easy way to transfer money from one place to another, IMO.

bitcoin for me is a kind of a good investment, whether you buy you bitcoin or you earn it and then you stored it for a while and then get back to it, bitcoin gets higher and higher each month i think it will be go higher before the year ends, bitcoin is a money for me, it helps me in many ways thats why i love using bitcoins and earns it as well.

That is right, but I prefer to earn it than to buy it, especially right now where bitcoin is at it's price peak, I'd rather earn them even in a small amount that buy it. It isa good investment asset, it has a unpredictable price whoch makes it an ideal asset, I just hope the transactions are fixed.


Bitcoins is a blessing for me.

I don't why you call it a blessing, but it is a digital currency with a high price.
