If you are really lucky but in the end, your whole month of salary will be put in line before you can hit the lucky bet.
Quit today and never go back if you are spending a whole months wages on any hobby or entertainment past time, doesnt really matter what it is if you are using up your money on one thing like that its obviously going to end badly. Doesnt have to be gambling, I used to know someone who spent his weeks wages on alcohol from Friday to Sunday and had 20 left for the rest of the week, literally lived like a pauper while still needing to do heavy physical work in the job. Thats really something to quit, the flaw is with the person who allows themselves to overspend. Spend 1% and if you dont win, your time is up. This is really foolish if anyone spends major portion of his wages on gambling. You spent all the wages on gambling and make it double but what if you lose and you are left empty handed. He then have to take the loan to keep the expenses running and this is where the downfall of a gambler starts. Both advantages and disadvantages of gambling should be told to eveyone , if we are promtoting gambling. Telling only the bright side of gambling will not be fair. |

the casino site started to think of guerrilla marketing. if anyone from this forum sees that and just as they thought would happen, OP posted it here. if anyone playing in that casino see theymos is playing there, they might think the casino is reputable and shall bet bigger. everyone knew the username is the admin of bticointalk which is the most popular board in crypto. the user who uses that username in that casino is probably just the admin of that casino too.
If I am not wrong this Interface (screenshot) is from the stake.com casino. Can anyone confirm this ? The users of stake.com may futher comments on it. |

So Theymos decide to try some gamble now? is it him or just imposter? If he just imposter he has some big balls for using that name and lost that much bitcoin lol.  Theymos is popular name in bitcoin world and people are often making accounts on other sites by this name. I do not know if he is actually theymos or not but look at the amount which he wagered . 344 BTC  Not everyone can wager such a big amount which make me think who is he ? |

because crypto players prefer cryptocurrency and it means privacy. KYC on the contrary reveals who you are and it's no good.
I will simply reject any gambling site which ask for KYC. There is no reason for the gambling site to collect our kyc. It will not in any way benefit the gambling site or the gamblers. Also giving kyc to every new gambling site can be dangerous as they can sell our kyc and personal information in black market. It's better to avoid giving our details everywhere and be selective on it. |

The benefit of blockchain is people don't have to use their money to play gambling, that is for sure. They can hide their identity while they are playing gambling, and they can feel safe to play gambling without anyone knows. I am sure that in the future, there will be many other platforms that will support the gambling games, and we will going to see the gambling business will grow fast in the future.
That's one of those thing that people wanted to support this industry using blockchain system to hide their identity while enjoying the gambling industry,in the near future more and more gamblers will see this advantage and begin also to support this types of system. Yes, that is why I see many of my friends are like to gamble using the cryptocurrency because they can hide their identity from anyone. They only need to use the email address and the wallet to join, and they can start gamble with easy. I guess the gambling business will grow fast in the next years because the gamblers itself will have a new way to cover their identity. People are not really using cryptocurrency based gambling to hide their identities. They probably using it for the convenience. It is global and doesn't have too many restrictions Before the usage of bitcoin and altcoins in gambling, only those who had credit cards can play the gamble online. But now everyone can play gambling as anyone can deposit bitcoins and play gamble. Not everyone had credit cards as the process of getting credit card was not so simple, but getting bitcoins and depositing in gambling sites is much more simpler. |

I'm working on a football (soccer) betting site, and I'd like to know if it is worth the effort to add the feature to allow no-registration bets. Has it ever been a deciding factor when you pick a site to bet on?
Yeah, most people like to bet anonymously. It is actually a deciding factor when someone wants to pick a site to bet on. Since it's going to be a soccer betting site, allowing users to bet without registering to the site will actually get you more players. People would love to bet instantly on those sites without any hassle. Just make sure they can track their progress through a unique ID generated for that specific bet. Everyone wants to remain hidden and anoymous. There can be number of reasons for this. A gambler does not want every one knows how much he is earning through gambling. This can be to avoid taxes or they don't want other know that they are even gamblers. This is the reason when we come to know about any gambling site demanding for KYC, everyone share bad comments about them because no one is interested in KYC for gambling. |

Lucky I'm not that serious in gambling and I don't spend that much money on gambling  . Anyway, this must serve as an eye opener for those gamblers out there who are spending too much money in gambling. They must control themselves and they must control their emotion especially when they have many money in gambling. I feel sorry for the family but he's a gambler so I think there is some fault on him because of his greediness which led to his death.This is very scary things when it happens, the real fact is this, lead to his death... death...death....! Well, gamblers must have this kind of mindset itself, must aware of possible things happen and cause into addictions. Emotion is very important to manage and follow by self-control. Both of these if you have then, you are totally fine. Bare this always in mind that gambling is the way you relax not for chasing money, if you lose then you stop, that's it. There are very few cases where gambler is so much disappointed that made him suicide. That's is the worst condition and I hope no one faces such a bad lose in gambling. In most cases, people do lose big amounts but they forgot those loses with the passage of time and move on. With experience, a gambler can understand how a win and lose can impact his money and life. |

I'm not good at gambling although I have occasional success, maybe this is a blessing in disguise, knowing you are not lucky in gambling will make you think that you should not allocate a big portion of your budget in gambling because your chances of winning are very low.
If you don't have the capability of winning or luck it is better we have to stay away from it. In gambling, there is no guarantee whether we are successful because the next day we are going to lose all the money we earned on the previous day. That's not true that whenever we win the following day we will loose our previous winnings. I have a good record when it come to the consecutive winnings, but there are bound to be a day of lose, but not a day of win and the following day for lose. Experience still remain the best for any gambler to keep winning for a longer period hence they will lose definitely. In the end there is no success in gambling, getting a winning streak will indeed make you more motivated but when that motivation increases your greed then luck is no longer there for you and then you will get a losing streak to become bankrupt and such an event I have experienced. That's why everyone has to set a time and money limits for gambling. It's pretty easy to lose self-control after a several losses or wins. Your game has to depend on rationality but not luck. Agree but your prescription tactics doesn't work in most cases as i have personally apply it but no avail. Maybe something went wrong when i applied it. Self control still look better, although if care not taken a gambler can loose it and loose more on gambling. Thanks for your insight. It is very hard to find a successful gambler and that is because most of the people that play gamble do it because they desire to become very rich and greed step in. "self control" has ever be one of the good habit many gamblers and traders refuse to develop and that is why they keep on losing money. Successful gambler is the one who have self control in himself. Wining many games and then losing all of the money in just one game cannot be termed as a good gambler. A successful gambler is the one who keep taking profits out of gambling. The money which you actually take out of gambling is the real profit which you gained from gambling. |

some people think that gambling will get an advantage that can be used for daily needs.
but is all that good ...
maybe by playing online games can be a solution to get away and get out of the realm of gambling, because now all online games can also bring a decent income that is quite profitable for its users ..
That will be a wrong perception to use gambling as a way which can be used for filling daily needs because we cannot always win the game every day. Yes, we can win that game, but I don't think that to get the same win in every day will be easy as we know that playing gambling will need the luck to get the win. Both playing online games and playing gambling is a way for us to enjoy our free time with friends, we can have fun with them, and that will be a solution to release the stress. But you should not use gambling or online games as the source of income because that will not easy as you think. Many people play gambling games because they think they will earn money out of it. There is no grantee for this. They might end up losing. The online games are better in a way that you have nothing to lose or gain. These online games are only to provide you with entertainment and fun, but of course you have to spend time on them. |

I laughed when I saw this. First thing that came into my mind is that, if this fight happen, it will be scripted. I don't know, that's just my feeling. And I doubt this were going to happen, do they have dispute? Bieber reason or motive is unclear yet but pretty sure there is because you won't challenge someone without a reason.
Yes, there is no chance of a real match between Justin Bieber and Tom Cruise. I agree that we have seen many fights of Tom Cruise in his movies but those are all scripted camera tricks. He is an actor and you don't expect him to fight in real match. |

What do you think guys? Do you think that the charity had made me fortunate to win in gambling?
You're just lucky on that time that you win in gambling. Donating to a charity won't make you win in gambling or even increase your luck. You just feel that way because it is related to human nature that when someone did good to others he relates it to his blessing. Yes it may be true and that is what we call karma, but it doesn't work in gambling. It's just all about luck. Gambling and charity are two different things and I see no connection between the two. In some religions gambling is a sin (evil act) while charity is the best act. There are very few persons who will do both the gambling and charity at same time. |

Tell me hoestly, have you ever think about beat the household?
I first, YES, i did think about it. But never work!!
Everyone comes in gambling to win and beat the house but this is one thing which is close to impossible. If you are able to win from house and if everyone is able to do it, the house will not have the funds to pay us all. Only a few people win from house and rest are just the losers. |

Once again their batting line up proving that 20-20 mind set is not good strategy for 50-50 world cup. it can work in 1-2 games but for longer run, its deadly choice. Windies need to changed their strategy for upcoming matches if they really want to secure their place in top 4 teams.
They can still reach 270+ score but for this they need to play decent cricket or at least stay on the crease. still 11-12 overs left in first inning.
Place in top 4? I never considered then in this WC to pass the group stage. You guys might noticed that I was struggling to find the third team to identify for the race of the cup winner (I know England can not lift it). I think It will be New Zealand. So here are my three team: Australia India New Zealand. Edit: WI lost another wicket. Just consider two things before including New Zealand and excluding England. New Zealand have not played any match with a big team and their yesterday match with India was abandoned so we are yet to see how NZ play against the stronger teams. Secondly , England has lost only 1 match and thier today's performace shows they are not an easy team to dealth with. |

Crypto is meant as a investment vehicle only and using it for daily transactions is just be wasting your money away in fee payments and even the risk of losing your money through hack.
Crypto has more benefits if we use it as a currency. The fee payment and bank charges are more in fiat currency and banks. We do hear that banks or people are robbed, so using crypto does not mean that it has more chances of the hack. Both crypto and fiat can be stolen and it is our responsibity to keep our money and coins save. |

What do you mean by that? Aren't you glad the the bear market is over? $8k is a miracle for me because I was only speculating that btc will only reach $5k and will either get stuck there or go up and down on that value. And now, I am starting to believe those articles about the time traveler that btc will hit $100k next year because of turn of events.
We see that after the longest period of the bear market, this year bitcoin, though periodically, grows in price, but it constantly goes for a correction and this greatly hinders its price growth. It cannot grow too fast yet, its growth will be slow and it will not reach any price records this year. Next year, only its return to the previous price record of $ 20,000 is possible, but it’s obviously that in the coming years it will not be able to reach the price of one hundred thousand dollars. I have always been in favor of bitcoin moving up with healthy correction. In case bitcoin move straight up (like in 2017), then it will be dumped hard. We already seen bitcoin dumped from 20k to 3K in a period of almost 1 year. I hope this time bitcoin move up slowly. The more stable the bitcoin will be, the more will be the chance that it will not fall down from the current prices. |

That title almost gave me heart attack!  Well, i was almost attacking the person bringing us back to memory lane. A $2.000 bitcoin, that sounds so cheap, I think we are in a period just like in the summer of 2017, where it is good to accumulate more bitcoins, by dollar cost in each month. Bitcoin was 4000$ early this year and that was the best time to buy bitcoins. If anyone had bought bitcoin at that time, with few months he would have doubled his money as bitcoin is now around 8000$. Bitcoin all time high price was 20K and therefore current price of bitcoin (8000$) is also a good price to buy. |

No need to worry if you see the price of Bitcoin to start to drop again. This is very normal. Others call it market correction after a sudden price increase of Bitcoin price and this not the first time that this happens. If we look at how much did the price dropped its just 13%. Way back the price drops to up to 25% and yet we are still here.
That is all true but for some reason people like to panic. And they expect once the price is in the rise that it will stay there not thinking at all about volatility and possible corrections. At the moment we are experiencing actually very small correction and I don't expect some bigger fall but the growth neither. It seems that price will continue to fluctuate in the current range. It's because they only want the price to keep on rising. They think that fall is a bad thing which is actually not at all. If the price is rising, they think it's continues, no wonder they also think the same if there's fall, they also think it's continues. What a mindset, too much positive and negative. As of now, the price is recovering from the recent fall. They should think of this possibility, recovering rather than always panicking if there's a fall. This kind of mindset is really wrong for most people.When they do saw price rally then they do like for it to continue forever without even minding that showing big spikes in price isn't a healthy market.There would always be a retracement or decrease on price yet this market isn't just intend to shoot up in moon in a short span of time. True, everyone (especially the newbies) wants that bitcoin and altcoins prices always move up and up and never fall down. When the price started to dump, these people start crying and regret that either 1- They did not sell in profit OR 2- They bought too high in the upward rally |

Unfortunately Bitcoin price moving up is interrupted and delayed so another disappointment to all Bitcoin enthusiast but i still i suggest to just hanging ON as this was just temporary interrupted by some exchanges thieves that are now selling the stolen Bitcoin therefore it is an opportunity to buy more Bitcoin in cheaper price once again.
There so many fuds in the market like exchanges thieves selling the bitcoins etc but the fact is that bitcoin price will follow the correction. When price rise up sharp people who have bought cheap, they sell their coins to get profit. This is the way how market moves. After little correction, we will see another high run of bitcoin prices. The only thing we need is patience. |

I love the price prediction, but I don't love John McAfee, so I will not believe in him, that's too unrealistic for me.
Bitcoin to hit $1 million by next year, that was a joke, we even have a hard time reaching a new ATH this year.
A big joke from a real joker, its pretty obvious that he is just seeking for the attention. Bitcoin is good but that price is also so good to be true, $1M for bitcoin in less than a year is impossible and very unreal. I just want to hold my bitcoin until it make a good run again, believe it or not John McAfee is just a human and he can't be sure about this over prediction. For those who did not know his reputation in crypto might believe, he can attract the new investors as he is popular in the business world. People should be smarter now and not just believe right away as even the influential people can hype bitcoin at an unrealistic price. those who aren't familiar with cryptocurrencies and as a result McAfee's reputation then they are also more familiar with the FUD that dozens of others are feeding them so one random guy telling them something in opposition of what they have been hearing is not going to change that much. others who have been around and know who McAfee is and how he is abusing this nonsense to earn money are already ignoring him anyways. John McAfee can only attract the newbies with such statements. Those who are old in this field should know by know that statements by John McAfee have no meanings and mostly these statements are give to get the fame or to manipulate the market in opposite direction. |

This is not a drunk gambler for sure, he might suffering from a frustration and maybe a depression for losing money. Gambling is not supposed to make you look like this because it supposed to make you happy. If you feel any depression right now because of the money that you've lost better to quit gambling, and seek for some help. That pictures speaks a lot, so start waking up now. Do you ever feel this before because you didn't achieve your goal and you lose all your savings because of greediness? it's more like an accumulation of the frustration that he has over the years of gambling, and this will happen to you if you don't know the symptoms of too much addiction to gambling, and the worse part is, you'll deny that you had this kind of addiction, and that makes it looks real bad. I think there should be meditation or medical treatment for such addiction. Many people have developed depression because of the constant loss in the gambling and no hope for winning. Its a bitter truth that at one side gambling has bring a lot of joy for people, it has also brought a lot of miserable and difficulties in the life of people. |
