I was wrong here, I really thought that they could easily pass 230 points. But on the fourth quarter, points started to slow down until it get stacked. Good defense shown by oklahoma. They deserve this win. Hoping for GSW to bounce back next game.

Its too risky if you just invest it and expect for nothing because as of now there's no legit investment site... but i know that you can invest to as just partner of houseedge.. like betking io they are offering to invest your money there' but there still risk if the house is lose you will also lose.. but i think house is always win..
What are you talking about? If you smart enough to invest in Bitcoin, then you should be smart enough to invest you Bitcoin into something else. Investing is definitely the best way to use your money.

YOu are right that the best use of money is investing. But it is not always right that if you can invest in bitcoin, you can invest anywhere. Investing in bitcoin is already a risk. If you want to invest, don't just look on online investments. Go look elsewhere too. YOu can pick stocks or mutual funds. Just remember to read, study those investment platforms first before putting your money in.

Gambling can bring profit or losses. But it is better to gamble with what you can afford to lose.

Yeah! but at the end of the day, people will surely think the money that he/she loss even it is small or big. They will also think that, "what if i didn't bet my money", "what if i just put it in my wallet", something like that.

Those doubts will make you think of the money that you lose but you will still gamble anyway because you want to multiply what you have in your hands. The lure of easily earning big, without much effort, is really hard to resist. Especially when you see someone earn so much from a game or bet.

if you believe bitcoin, and you trust bitcoin can survive im sure you will go full time on bitcoin. if i have dream to use bitcoin as main source. and use it to daily job.
Yeah but it is not that smart to believ 100% in Bitcoin because anything can happen. Maybe Bitcoin is going to disappear and you have just quit your job.
So I would keep my job and just do Bitcoin on the side.

That is the safe option. Keeping your job and doing bitcoin on the side. But if you are adventurous and you do not have other responsibilities but yourself, I think going full time with bitcoin is a good option too. Right now, bitcoin is really profitable, so you can live and earn more with it.

It's a good idea though, i also pick both save money and invest money. Just don't go all in on an investment. Spare some for saving, and it would be okay.

Dont you know that saving and investing your money is something that could be done with a same action? If you invest your money, you are actually saving it as well because what you invest in means that thing is yours and it is definitely your money so it is actually a same action though people dont understand it and think it is different

I think the difference is when you save you just put your money somewhere you can't spend it. But when you invest, you put your money where it have the probability to earn more money. You don't have to spend time thinking where to put money if you just want to save it. But you need to really analyze where you want to invest. You may lose all your money if you put it an a losing investment.
4546  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: is gambling fix your life? or wreck your life? on: May 17, 2016, 03:24:31 AM
Some times fix  my life and some times i want to kill my self.  So im stoping now, becouse i dont have btc right now lol . I love gambling
BTC you collect exhausted just because of gambling, very unfortunate. if you are trading with the BTC, the result will not be like that. gambling does not have to until our money runs out, gambling was wisely.

Trading does not mean it is profit all the way. YOu can still trade poorly and lose bitcoins. The only difference is, you can control the outcome in trading by studying the movements. Unlike gambling, gambling really relies on luck to make good money. Either trading or gambling, you should not go all the way. Reserve some bitcoins or money for future use. Trade or gamble wisely.
4547  Economy / Economics / Re: How too get rich on: May 17, 2016, 03:21:58 AM
If it was that easy to get rich everybody must be rich. You nee a good idea not a small
one but a big one. Don't just work but work your a$$ off and set your mind on zero and go.
combines real job and bitcoin as a sideline, it can make you faster to attain wealth. especially with bitcoin, you can get unexpected results, sometimes you can get greater results than a real job.
That's true you need to have multiple source of income which can help you in getting richer sooner, as if bitcoin reaches to moon in future, you can cash out anytime.


Having multiple source of income while studying and trying something new just in case one of your sources of income goes bankrupt or if that field of business becomes unprofitable. You have to be smart and dedicated in order to be really rich. If you only have one source of income, even if it does pay well, there's still a chance that it will be gone so you need to have an extra source of income just in case that happens.

And if you can, do investments. Investments prove to be the best way to get rich. But if you are starting poor, you do not have to invest right away. Do multiple jobs, earn money, save and invest. This is the path I am taking but I am still on earning phase. But while I am still saving, I am trying to learn a lot about the right way to invest.
4548  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much can you earn with gambling? on: May 17, 2016, 03:18:33 AM
There is no max as to how much you can win. There is just a max on how much you can lose... all of your money. So don't gamble for gains and earnings, just gamle to have some fun, if you can't have fun in othre things.

i have said this before here and in other places. there IS a max to how much you can win.

the max is set in all the gambling sites to prevent them from going under. because if the site is provably fair there is always a chance that a big roller comes along and gets lucky and bankrupt the casino.

Yeah, it will come to that time that a lucky person hits that big amount. It will happen if the casino/sites are really provably fair. As we all know that the owner rather cheat sometimes to prevent this from happening. The owners too are on a gamble.

Owners can give big jackpots once in a while. This will be big news to gamblers and that will attract more players to their site if gamblers knew that someone won big on that site. They will think that they can win that big too. Though mostly it was just a publicity stunt to promote the site to gamblers.
4549  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: May 17, 2016, 03:10:58 AM
it is wrong if you consider it anything more than a hobby, you can't make stable profit from it and you shouldn't spend too much time on it, Also never use big amounts in it IMO.
I agree with you. if we look at gambling as a source of income was very wrong. but if it's a hobby or having fun its good. because if you consider it as a source of income you will be addicted and could also lose all your money and also can make you crazy.
it depends on how you see it and that is the problem because as you can see now you see also that there are more people that is realizing that gambling is quite bad to do.
Some people are rich because of gambling but the most people lost a lot of money with gambling and that is bad.

We should realize that not all gamblers will make a fortune on gambling. Only very few people can really make tons of money on gambling. If you do realize that, then you can control yourself and not view gambling as a source of income. So you bet moderately and lose or win moderately. Nothing bad happens. But if you lose control, then all bad things happen.
4550  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to stay away from gambling? suggestions ? on: May 17, 2016, 03:07:33 AM
I wonder if you can mail the gambling websites and ask them to ban your account or maybe your ip/mac (since it's hard to change your mac) I am sure this will keep you away from it for a long time!

Do you have to email all the gambling websites about your ip/mac address? and how about your security, will you trust them that information? And even if you do, I do not think that gambling website owners will do that. That is a potential customer they will lose if they do that. Bad for business.  The control must come within you, not from any outside force.
4551  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should I invest in bitcoin casinos? on: May 17, 2016, 03:04:31 AM
If you believe the casino you're investing in will be around for many years.. I think investing would be ok. I'm just afraid of a casino running off with the invested btc!

yeah, that is nice idea, he should have to invest in those casinos which have be online here from a long time and if he want to try some casinos which have come online recently then he should have to take the start with small amount in order to check its legibility.

You should never invest in something that is not established yet. That is a real gamble. You will never know if the owner will just run away with your money. It is better if you invest on casinos that has already established its name in the industry. You know it already have loyal customers and the owner won't run away with your money.
4552  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: May 17, 2016, 03:02:21 AM
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.
4553  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2016 Play-Off Discussion on: May 17, 2016, 02:51:02 AM
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.
4554  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: May 16, 2016, 10:44:44 PM
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.
4555  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.
4556  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling loses and wins on: May 16, 2016, 10:12:04 PM
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.
4557  Economy / Economics / Re: How to save money. on: May 16, 2016, 11:53:26 AM
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.
4558  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.

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.
