When i just need like 5% from my balance and need to get it to make my balance even but crying because lost the last bet  Cry

anything can happens on gambling, better dont chasing your goal, and stop when u have enough profit

It is still good to set goals. Like you stop when you lose or win 10% of your total bankroll. This way you can limit how much you lose in a day and can also stop yourself when you already in profit. You can stop and avoid being greedy because you already know that you earn for the day. The target will signal you that you should stop even if you are on a roll and lucky.
4542  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are your gambling stats? (Profit/Loss) on: May 10, 2016, 04:05:57 AM
I will say overall I am not in loss.Since I am in sport betting and know how to play controlled and limited bets all in again on track.The balance sheet is not in positive but not much loss.I am in good position and still can carry on gambling.

Nice to know that, only few can have a good stats in gambling, and the good thing for your is you have a limitation in betting which in others case cannot do that because of what we called gambling addiction.

It is easier to control losses in sports gambling rather than dice or other gambling of same type. In sports, you can study statistics and that can lead you to a good bet and win. You just have to be really knowledgable of the sports you want to bet on in order to gain money.
Yes, in dice you can win or loss at a blink of an eye while on the other hand sports betting is really fun since you are sure that it is played fairly. The excitement you get from sports betting  is better compared to dice.

Yup, dice does not rely on skills or stats. It is pure luck based. If you are lucky you can win even with the house edge. But if not, you will lose. But it is more chance that you will lose because of house edge. But in sports betting, you can compute the odds in which you can bet. YOu can predict most of the outcome of the game if you know the stats. Only a little percentage of luck is involved. Just don't be too greedy.

gambling is synonymous with making money quickly, everyone always wants to get money quickly, so the people who play gambling will addiction, because they always want to get money quickly, but they themselves are mostly lost.
Greed is not always good, anything excessive is bad for us, especially in gambling if you gamble excessively you will be affected, you will be addicted with it and it will be hard to get out of addictions. Most of the gamblers here learned their lesson in the hard way. I hope it will not happen to anyone anymore that you will lose your family because of gambling.
difficult to play gambling to not greedy. moreover I myself always want to get 1 BTC each I do gambling, but I was too little initial capital to get 1 BTC and in the end always lose Grin
Therefore it is impossible for you to win in the long run, your winning projections is unrealistic, you should establish a good bankroll and if you win at least 10% per day then that would be a good amount of money. Never be greedy because that is a recipe for disaster.

Yes, you should limit yourself to 10%, win or lose. When you lose 10% of your bankroll, stop. The same with winning. If you win 10% of your bankroll, stop. Come back again next day. If you let yourself slip, and become greedy, you might lose more than what you intended to. It is when you follow strict discipline that you can succeed not only in gambling but in life.
4544  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: is gambling fix your life? or wreck your life? on: May 10, 2016, 04:00:27 AM
I only play in gambling with what I can affrod to lose and i feel that gambling is not fix my life or wreck
Because gambling is much risky, I cant play it everyday.

Though right now you are only gambling what you can afford, this can still to habit and then addiction. This can still wreck your life someday if it went out of control. An innocent game of gambling can still affect you badly someday when you become addicted to it. Just be sure you do not let yourself get addicted to gambling. If you notice any indication that it is becoming a strong influence in what you do, stop. Don't let gambling ruin your life.

People playing gambling are now growing because of its anonymity and fast transactions.
Bitcoin is having free advertisements by using bitcoin in gambling, almost all transactions flowing in blockchain is from gambling.

Of course, the biggest advantage of Bitcoin is anonymity, it was so from the very beginning of its establishment. It is obvious that no one wants to visit the bank, and with employee reading his bank statement with strange amount next to the names of casinos (the same applies to porn indutsry, or shopping in sex shops). This is the big advantage  Bitcoin over banks (credit cards).
At the same time fast and easy access to gambling creates an even greater threat because they are eliminated an element of shame that some players refrained from playing. It for sure will make problem of addiction much bigger.
We have to remeber that Bitcoin has many advantages, but it also carries risks.

As for the number of transactions in Blockchain, you can be sure that even half of them does not apply to gambling. Majority of transactions is coming from trading.


As you can see now you see that Bitcoin is getting more popular with gambling and that is because many people are also using Bitcoin as their payment method and that is nice.
Because it is also bad if you are gambling that much because winning in gambling happens not that often.
This is why gambling addiction is very prone nowadays because of the online casinos that you can play without restrictions. This is good for gambling industry as well as the bitcoin industry but bad for the most of the gamblers as they are mostly affected if being addicted to gambling.

Yeah, this is only good for the owners of online casinos. They rake in money from poor gamblers hoping that they could earn thru gambling. But most of the time, these little gamblers lose more than they can afford to lose. Casino owners get rich in the expense of gamblers losing their entire life saving or even their houses. This should be stopped sooner than later.
4546  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling problem on: May 10, 2016, 03:53:36 AM
I see there is so many people trying hard to stop gambling their money because they've losing so much
If you not ready to lose your money, then don't even try to gamble!
It is a greater problem that you are already losing too much and it is just okay with you. I think that is already an addiction and should be stopped more. If you can accept that you lose your house and money because of gambling and you are ready to accept it, is it still okay? Of course not. Gambling should be stopped whether you are ready to lose or not. It will lead to bigger problems if not stopped early.
4547  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: is gambling fix your life? or wreck your life? on: May 09, 2016, 10:34:25 PM
Gambling doesn't do either for me.  I only gamble a small amount so I don't lose much.  It's more for entertainment but if you don't limit yourself, it can be a problem.

Agree, we need limit to playing in gambling. Dont take too many time to play it. I play in gambling if I'm bored for fun
Do not let gambling fix your life its not good for you.

bet a little or a lot on gambling, it is the same. only possible if you play with a small amount, it is a little more safe, because you will not lose much. all sometimes begins with small things and if you win you will make it bigger. so in essence in gambling should be able to control yourself.

you can always use the free money to gamble if you don't want to lose anything when you are risking in gambling. this free money can be the giveaways these new casinos are having or it can also be the faucet payment of the dice site that you can try and multiply it.

I also do that before, using the faucet to gamble. Problem is, you cannot win significant amount using faucet money. It is just enough to get you started but will also lose it. Worst is, you get enticed to fund your account because you feel like if I have more capital I can win big. So, even if you started small, faucet money, you end up losing big because you get addicted.

When i just need like 5% from my balance and need to get it to make my balance even but crying because lost the last bet  Cry

why you crying because lost the last bet? you knew it in gambling only win or lost. not easy to win if you not lucky.
so bet you can affrod to lose.
sometimes i just think to win more but the ending is lost, i'm no mean i'm not lucky i'm on lucky and already have profit but want to make more and then in the end will lost all  Embarrassed

That is called greed. It will really lead you to lose not win. Even if you expected that you are lu ky and on a roll, you should never give in to greed. Learn to stop especially when you are already on profit. If you hit your mark, stop already and come back another day. If you continue and wish for more, you usually end up losing and you'll regret it
4549  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you were rich, would you still gamble? on: May 09, 2016, 10:24:03 PM
If I'm rich there's no need for me to gamble anymore I'd rather spend some of my money to satisfy my needs, it's a win win situation.
I agree, if rich, it is better not to play gambling. but I do not agree if only spend for necessities. you better start a business. You can open a trading site, gambling site or casino.

If you are not yet satisfied with your wealth, it is better to invest on stocks or trade stocks. But if you are already satisfied, just spend it on necessities. Do not gamble because if you lose, it will dry out your money pretty quick. You do not want to go back to poverty just because of gambling.
4550  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is this what we called "addictive to gamble"? on: May 09, 2016, 09:56:54 PM
we know that most of the times we lost on gambling, but instead of stopping we keep on playing for the next day

after we lost, we got frustrated but we still back to play, is this called "gamble addiction"?
yes and you need to go to an rehabilitation center before it gets worst.. you cant resist gambling, cause once you start you cant stop

Indeed, well for some people its easy to stop and for some people its that they never can't stop by themselves.
I think social control could really help you if you are just doing it right and tell some relatives to help you.

Accepting that you need help to overcome your addiction is a.good step. Others can't be helped because they can't even accept that they are addicted already. If you accept help from others, there are more chance that you will succeed in overcoming gambling addiction. You don't have to rely on yourself to stop but from others too. They can stop you when you are starting to go back to gambling.
4551  Economy / Economics / Re: How too get rich on: May 09, 2016, 09:42:54 PM
Invest in bitcoin and you will get rich in next couple of years  Grin

At least it will give you better returns in compare to other products, bitcoin is the future.
Yes, investing in bitcoin and earning online bitcoin is a good way to become rich, a number of online earning bitcoin methods are available where if we started struggle then we will be rich in the few years.

Online earning are good this days. There are a lot of opportunity. But I think the best way is still the old way. Working hard on trading stocks and investing on real estates. That can still be the best way to get you rich faster. It is not easy to do but I think it is still the surest way to be on top. You just have to invest on knowledge and skills on trading.
4552  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you were rich, would you still gamble? on: May 09, 2016, 06:20:41 AM

Yes that is right. You already have a lot of money, and gambling will have no other effect but for fun. Worst thing is you get addicted and you could lose everything you have to gambling. If you don't gamble at all, just find entertainment on other stuffs that is not addictive but fun. Or just spend it on foods and healthy activities.
4553  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much can you earn with gambling? on: May 09, 2016, 06:09:40 AM
well you just cant predict how much you can win from gambling. games with luck is bit difficulty to win and it just depends on your luck like one in  dice, one with stratergy games could make you a big profit if you use a good stratergy and also my favourite is sports betting and you could just make some profit from that too..Smiley

My friend won 1 btc from poker game since the game based strategy and more less luck factor. Also he was an expert sport bettor so he can make some profit from it
As we know gamble based on you luck and your guts so everybody has a chance to win big !
Most of the winner from gambler made their winnings in a skilled base games, and also even sports betting where I am in. I can say that we can really earn a lot if we are on the right type of gambling games where we can utilize our skills. Me, I am good in sports that is why I am profiting from sports betting although just a small amount, but I am consistently doing it.

Even if it just a small amount, if it is consistent, it is good. Continous income from gambling can give you good fortune especially when the price goes up. Just don't be greedy so you won't be tempted to bet high on a high odds. That might lose and your back to zero income. Small amount but consistent can still earn a lot of bitcoins over time.
4554  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you were rich, would you still gamble? on: May 07, 2016, 10:42:26 PM
With 50 millions I do not think, that gambling can make some profit. Just put 25 millions in the bank and receive profit - it would be much more, than just gambling.  Wink

It is better than gambling because you will not lose any money but it will just be idle money. There is no real profit when you stash your money in a bank. It will be safe but it will not earn any profit. Just a few interest a year.it is better if you invest it somewhere else. But as you said it is safer than gambling your money in a casino.
4555  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much can you earn with gambling? on: May 06, 2016, 09:26:20 AM
You can earn money gambling in sports or poker. If you play dice or any luck game you will lose money.
If you want to make millions you will have to play poker on a professional level then it is possible. But you just go once a week to the casino or play some games online you will not make that much money but maybe enough to make a living out of it.

Professional gamblers may make millions of dollars gambling, but only very few can make that. And gambling on casinos may just be more loss than profit. Maybe you could earn more if you try sports betting. With a good analysis of stats, you can better predict the outcome of a game. That can make you more profit. But if you have no luck and no skills, it is better if you just stick on working hard than relying on gambling.
4556  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When gambling makes you cry. on: May 06, 2016, 09:20:25 AM
i only use gambling when i need a payment and i need only 1$ more so i bet for x1.1 profit with and amout 10$ and when lose i'm feeling like i will thow my pc from the window but it is only 10$ after all that can't make a person cry :p

Hahaha cool story, but if I'm the one that lose that $10 I will definitely not only crying but I will think about it all over the time.
And for sure, I can't sleep if that happens to me.

That is too small amount to cry on. But it could be a start of a negative spiral effects of gambling. You do not have to wait for it before you stop or lessen your gambling habits. You must not wait to lose 100$ or more before you consider stopping gambling. Just stop or limit it to 1$ a day. Just gamble a bit lesser everyday until you remove it. So you do not have to lose large amount in the future and cry.
4557  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling problem on: May 06, 2016, 09:15:38 AM
Internet has made everything available to you at everytime. This leads to severe gambling addictions. Whenever you are free you just start Gambling for entertainment. You should know your limit to win and lose else you have to regret.

That is the consequence of technology. Everything is accessible all the time. This includes gambling and other bad stuff in the internet. It is on the user to control the effect of gambling on him. It is true, gambling can be addictive and technology can multiply the effect on people. But we do not have to succumb to it if we just limit ourselves in betting and in time spent. We can enjoy gambling and technology and remove bad effects if we just control ourselves.
4558  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcoin Gambling is Exploding on: May 06, 2016, 09:04:51 AM
After recent developments now Bitcoin is essential part of every online gambling site when really wants to survive and grow bigger. Once with the Bitcoin there were many sites which appeared and now are bigger and well established.Bitcoin gambling is just at start and still there is huge potential in gambling with Bitcoin.
Many gambling sites have already adopted with bitcoins because they see this as an opportunity to gain more profit, if they will use bitcoin, many gamblers will be able to bet because the country restrictions will then be eliminated, and charges for deposits/withdrawals have a little charges.

Exactly, that is what driving the growth of bitcoin gambling sites and in effect bitcoin too. Unfortunately, gambling bad effects to man may also grow. Easy access to gambling sites may increase the negative effect of gambling to people because they can easily be addicted to it. But, of course, it would be beneficial to most bitcoin users. I just hope the good effects out weight the bad ones over time.
4559  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is this what we called "addictive to gamble"? on: May 06, 2016, 04:11:05 AM
There are a lot of people that is addicted to gambling and that is because people are thinking that they can earn some nice money with it.
But that is just a trap and actually they are losing more money than they win but they are realizing that too late.
what about the person who has the initial goal to gamble for ony to have fun? whether they will become a gambling addict.
but they are always gambling every week or a certain time? what it can be called with addiction?


That is where everybody starts. A simple bet for fun and then it becomes a regular thing. Later it becomes an addiction. If you continuously gamble with out restrain or control on how much or how long you gamble, then it is an addiction. If you don't want the trouble of becoming a gambling addict, then refrain and never try gambling at all. Never bet even just for fun. One innocent bet can lead to a life of gambling.
4560  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling problem on: May 06, 2016, 04:07:42 AM
There are many people has a gambling problem especially this days that you can acces it through your browser or phone.
I think people that has a gambling problem tends to keep on gambling to forgot their problems in life and just want to shut out the world. I guess if a proper medication or proper help from someone they will overcome that.

Technology makes gambling more accessible and bitcoin still improves that by financing your gambling anonymously, easier and faster. You can gamble now anytime anywhere without worries. As long as you have a cellphone and a good internet connection. That is why more and more people are getting addicted. This needs to be addressed properly, if left unsolved, it could create a bigger problem in the society.
