gamble is the only activity that can double your money in a min and this unique promise lure endless people to come and try it out. they all keep looking for some quick cash and that is why people end up addicted.
this actually the point of why gambling are addictive thing.
a lure to make money very fast that we can never handle.
an addiction always come from something fun , and a casino games provided it plus you have lured by easy doubling money system.

I think gambling is addictive for those people who don't want to make honest efforts to earn money, they want to get rich overnight without doing anything, but it will never work in long  run.

Right, gambling will never get you rich overnight.  And even if it does, in some miracle you hit a lucky jackpot, it will just go away as easily. There will be no effort to keep it because you never work hard to earn it. You will never value the money you got because it was too easy to get it. You will just gamble the money all away.

This is really a shit. What kind of hands does Curry-Thompson have? They are just throwing the ball with 100% accuracy LOL.

OKC making some rubbish and force offensive play in the final phase of 1st half. If they still allow to be eaten by GSW momentum look like we can see a 20+ margin lead.

Halftime now.
107 points at half. Looks like the under 230.5 points for total score might be in jeopardy for that pick if GSW keep there hot shots going in.

Yeah, both teams are high scorers. They could easily pass 230 points. And it is now a very close game, a +7 for oklahoma is a good bet on the end game. I just hope oklahoma play a good defense to keep up with golden state almost flawless offense.

For my opinion gambling is so addicting because people want to gain easy money and by that gambling is no.1 choice and at first they win and keep winning untill when unlucky turns and they lose to much they keep gambling so they can get back their lose money and untill it turn that they are being addicted to it.

In my opinion you will never know what is the cause or the trigger thing that makes a gambler addicted to gambling we can really never tell if a person is addicted or how can he be so very addicted to gambling, and in studies an addicted person is just like ordinary person but a psychologist can tell if a person is addicted or not!

Actually there are.studies how a persons brain react to addiction. But those are for scientist only. There is no tell signs if you are just looking at the outside look of a person. You have to see him gambling to know that he is addicted. If he keeps gambling against all odds and losing all his money, he is addicted.
4524  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling problem on: May 16, 2016, 10:18:21 PM
Gambling can be an addiction for a lot of people.  I think for me it is just entertainment.


It's a choice for people if they sees gambling as entertainment or for living earning to them.

Well if people only sees gambling as an entertainment, then there's a lot of alternatives for it. There's a lot of things that can entertain us. Although some people still prefer gambling over these tons of other things because they use gambling as a way of socializing with their friends and earning some money as well.

Many people have a gambling problem and addiction. But I think there are few ways if applied your loss from Gambling can be minimized. The one of the best way to minimize the gambling problem is that you start with small amount and once you won and get profits you remove your original invested income and start gamble with earned profits. Then again you remove some parts of profits into real money and gamble with the rest Won money. I think this is the best option and that is good too.  Smiley

This is only good if you are winning continuously, but how about when you are losing. That is the tricky part. Because when you lose, you wanted to get back the money loss and you will fund your capital again until you have nothing. That is where the problem starts. You will go bankrupt just because of that especially when it is not your day.

So.... how much have you win or loss gambling ?? And what did you stake ?
I've lost about $60 so far but im planning to win it back. Pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered.
A saying well said, however i still need to learn it since my greed is my downfall. Guys and girls
how much money have you made or lost gambling ? Any pointers or warnings ? 
It's been a few months now I enjoy my sadness and pleasure in my Victory in gambling, gambling is around $ 100 and my defeat in gambling for about $ 80 and hopefully I can get a victory above $ 1000/week. Gambling is very violent to be played by novices who have rashly, thinking to get victory in gambling you should use a quiet thought and not rash.

Never win a large amount in gambling and i am always lose my money. the only thing that i can suggest to you or warning is don't be greedy because it may drain your wallet.
Sorry to hear that you belong to the losers of gambling, only at least 5% I think of the tootal gamblers in the world made a decent profit doing gambling and I believe they made profit in the sports betting.

I also believe that only a handful of people are really successful in gambling. Most of the gamblers are losers because we are betting on luck based game or we are just lazy to study the stats on sports betting. Only casino owners are getting richer and richer but the gamblers get poorer and poorer.

Saving money is very easy with the lots of methods available in the form of banking and other financing and investment form. Right now one among the best is the saving in the form of bitcoin.

saving in bitcoin is no doubt the best way to save money. in today's date we can save money in lots of ways. but bitcoin is obviously the best method for saving money.. and the best part of bitcoin saving is we can control our money by our self.. we do not need any bank's or any company's help to save and hold our money.
simply deposit bitcoin to the freeze wallet and that's it.
I would have to disagree with you on stating that saving in BTC is the best way to save money. Most of us here are merely speculating as to what price BTC is going to reach in the coming months. Certain risks are associated with putting your money in BTC. If someone is a conservative investor, he would have doubts if he sees that the price is not really stable.

Do you still have doubts about the stability of bitcoin? It has surpassed a lot of trials before and it is still surviving until now. The price is stable in above 400. Unless there is something major that happen, bitcoin is stable and getting higher in value. And the halving will make it more valuable.
4527  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to stay away from gambling? suggestions ? on: May 16, 2016, 11:45:21 AM
To stay away from gambling, you must get married or you must love a person or your pet animal. If you already a married person, then you must love your children or spouse.

First time I see getting married as a solution to gambling addiction. Never heard this one before. I just wish it was just that easy to cure an addiction. Then there will be less gambling addicts. I think no marriage can cure it. Worse, if you got maried to a wrong person, you get more addicted to gambling to stay away from that person.

4529  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When gambling makes you cry. on: May 11, 2016, 06:21:55 AM
i am not an expert nor i am defending gambling but you should know how to manage your profit and how to take your losses and you wont cry much when i used to gamble i only invest that much which i can afford to lose without crying  Cool
Some people can do that. They can control themselves and limit the amount and time they spent on gambling. But most people can't, especially the greedy ones. They lose track of how much time or money they are already spending on their gambling habits. And most of them gets addicted easily. Lucky for you, you are not one of them. I hope you don't end up a gambling addict someday.
4530  Other / Off-topic / Re: Will you quit your day job to go full time on bitcoin? on: May 11, 2016, 06:18:34 AM
There are different types of jobs in which you could squeeze in BTC to go with what you're doing. If you are the type who's fixed on the computer the whole day, might as well find the time to join signature campaigns. If you have some knowledge and funds to burn, get your feet wet in trading. It's always better to just mix both if your schedule allows it.

This is right, if you have the chance to double your earning with other opportunities, why not. This is not limited to bitcoin and day job alone. If you could get other part time jobs, and you have time for it, why not take it. The more source of income the better. You don't have to give up anything if you could spare some time for each of them. Just make sure you do it all right and not sacrifice quality.
4531  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you were rich, would you still gamble? on: May 11, 2016, 06:15:46 AM
If i were rich i never do gamble because than i would like to go outside my girl and enjoy the beauty of the world, that is more attractive than gambling.

This is right. Better enjoy your money with the people you love like family and friends and girlfriends, than losing it all on gambling. If you gamble, you might lose your money and if worse get worst, you might lose also your girlfriends, friends and family. You will be left with nothing but the shirt in your back. Of course this is exaggeration but this is not far from reality. This could happen to any gambler.
4532  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When gambling makes you cry. on: May 10, 2016, 10:19:59 PM
There are now more people that is going to gamble and they have to know that people must know that they can lose a lot of money with it and that is bad.
Because they need to control themselves and that is important for the value otherwise you are going to be poor.
gambling is gambling , even if you can control yourself it will mean nothing if you lost and always lost right?

if the point of gambling are about lost alot of money, not a profit or winning why we still here? it is circle of gambling , we know we will lost and cry but we still do it everyday.
Exactly, there is no point doing it because it is all losing. But because some people are already addicted to it, they have no choice but gamble. The urge within them is so strong they can't stop themselves from gambling. Worst is, they will pretend that it is good and invite others to be addicted to.gambling too.
4533  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling problem on: May 10, 2016, 10:00:23 PM
its not easy to stop gambling if you can't control yourself, its a problem
 I think you hard to stop gambling
so its better to not start play it if you not ready to lose your money.
If you stop gambling, stop it for good, do not do anything related to gambling because that would lead you to be tempted in doing it again. I know having a gambling problem is hard because there is not such dose of medicine that can cure it, you need to seek help from the expert or the best option talk to your families and friends.
It is bad if people have a gambling problem and that is because you cant stop with it and that is bad for the people that is addicted to gamble.
And they have to stop otherwise they are becoming poor and that is bad.
read this story http://www.news.com.au/finance/money/problem-gambler-paul-fung-lost-almost-a-million-dollars-in-three-weeks/story-e6frfmci-1226862004073 , how a millionaire turned to a homeless.
some people would feel aware when reading bad stories about gambling , try this method to prevent addiction to gamble.

And that story is just one of many stories that have bad ending for gambling. There are lot more stories just like that that is not published. Rich or not, if you gamble you can end up homeless. If you get addicted, lost control of your gambling habits, it will wreck your life. This should serve as a warning to those who still gambles and those who wanted to enter gambling.
4534  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be considered as a Sickness!! on: May 10, 2016, 09:40:37 PM
It can be considered as a sickness but I do not think this is the point because gambling can also be enjoying for a long time and done on a good way without any problems.

yeah exactly that's my point even in -EV games , just consider it as entertainment with the possibility to lose or win money
so at least people can decide what they afford to spend , and then they can enjoy their time
if they win well that's great , if they lost they should be satisfied too

Even if you are enjoying it, if you are addicted and destroying your life, where is the fun in that? Problem is, it all.starts as an entertainment. But when if you get addicted, it not just for entertainment. You will need to do it all the time and if you lose all the time, it wi destroy you financially and sometime emotionally. That is why it is a sickness.
4535  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: May 10, 2016, 03:53:42 PM
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
I know gambling. Is wrong,its addicted,and some religion ans countries ban and forbidden it,byt i just play when boring,not everyday..
well actually i dont know any countries that would ban the bitcoin also i think people should do whatever they want with their money

for me its not wrong as i play it really rarely and i actually dont spend a lot of time and money on it

he didn't talk about banning bitcoin at all, he talked about banning gambling, and lots of countries do it.
i feel akward when lots of people actually confuse gambling with bitcoin. not even close.

Because gambling and bitcoin is so much associated with each other that people misinterpret bitcoin as gambling and vice versa.  But that should not be the case. Bitcoin is a currency and gambling is the industry in which bitcoin thrives. Personally, I believe gambling is wrong. But it helps a lot of people, those who work in casinos. It has good and bad effect on people.
4536  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2015-16 Play-Off Discussion on: May 10, 2016, 10:12:31 AM
Miami and Toronto man these team are in battle of titans i must say
realy shame that one team must be kicked out

tonight game is
San Antonio Spurs - Oklahoma City Thunder
I will be betting for san Antonio handicap -7 and ml for tonight game hope san Antonio is in their good shape seeing the gsw bounce back and wins agains the blazers, it would be a good fight against kg westbrook and the rest of okc to fight back, good luck guys.

Isn't -7 too much? It might be a close game with just a point or two difference. Both are good team and OKC is a high scoring team. If durant gets fired up, they might even beat san antonio. But it will be westbrook and durant vs the whole san antonio spurs team. If they shut down either one of them, it will be spurs game. But not leading so much i guess.
4537  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Bitcoin? on: May 10, 2016, 04:37:38 AM
It is best to gamble using bitcoin because of the ease on funding your account. About the cons, you can always avoid sites that are fishy in nature. Or you can just withdraw your coins regularly so that if that site suddenly shutdown, your coins will not be lost or at least only minimal amount of coins are lost. Even on gambling, you have to study or research the sites you are joining.
I agree, its very easy to use bitcoin in gambling, as of now gambling is the reason why blockchain transactions are congested.
About the cons, yes you just have to be smart when you know what happens when you deposit to them.

Gambling is also making bitcoin stable because of the numbers of transactions it do everyday. It is almost that gambling is the only real industry that is making bitcoin alive. I just hope that we are not stuck to gambling. I hope other industries also adopt bitcoin so that bitcoin can have real progress. If other industry join in using bitcoin, more people will be attracted to it, not just gamblers.
4538  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you were rich, would you still gamble? on: May 10, 2016, 04:34:10 AM
If I was rich, maybe I'm still gamble but sometime to play in gambling
I do not want play in gambling to win a lot money, just play for entertainment

That could be good. Just always remember to limit yourself whenever you gamble for entertainment. You might get addicted if you do not control yourself. Even if you just play for fun, there is still a change you get addicted if you continuously play most of the week. Self control is the key so you can play and gamble and still avoiding the bad effects gambling can bring to a person.
4539  Economy / Economics / Re: How too get rich on: May 10, 2016, 04:32:00 AM
I am not sure how to get rich because I am not rich. If you want to get rich you have to come up with something new and fresh that will attract peoples attention.

I think most people who work in bitcoin. not the rich? then why are so many people gave a statement while they themselves have not been able to become rich? lol

You got a point here, people who is not rich cannot guide others to be rich. But then again, we do not know each others personally. You might be wrong too. These people could also be rich and just riding the tides of bitcoin. They could be giving away precious advice for free and you are just too proud to admit that they are right. There are some valid advice here that we should follow. You can filter yourself what you want to listen and not.
4540  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: May 10, 2016, 04:12:44 AM
I would say save as much as you can whether it be btc or money because you need something incase of a rainy day and you can never have to much surplus money (or bitcoin for that matter) on hand.  Grin


Yes that is a good plan. But if you already saved enough, which can support you for 6 months without work, you should also put the excess money to investments. This will make sure that your money is not idle in a bank or anywhere you decide to save it. Put your money to work thru investment and that will create a passive income to you. Those passive income can serve as an retirement money for you. That means you earn money without working.
