461  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you set up limits for yourself? on: October 02, 2017, 02:21:42 PM

Of course, I, like other normal people who are able to control their spending, have a certain limit in gambling. More than 100 dollars a month I do not spend on gambling.

That is a good limit, especially if you are not rich.

For me, I just limit my self to less than 100 dollars too every month to gamble with. For the last 2 weeks I haven't played but I may try again next time.
We must set boundaries in our all actions regardless of financial status but special care should be taken when a person is stepping in the world of gambling. This game is totally different from other matters of life and is the most risky activity in regard of money. All those people who have even a little brain, will definitely place limited bets keeping themselves safe from all financial troubles.
This is a fact that there should be some limits for a gambler before he decides to bet his money for the sake of playing dice games or thinking about hitting a jackpot. In my opinion, if we use only a safe amount for this purpose, then even a loss could never make you feel disappointed over it as you can feel the enjoyment you have had during playing and forget the bad things happened with you in a real slight manner.
Honestly it is always be the hardest thing to realize.
Applying your plan such as make that limit and obey on it , people tend to break it for the sake of following their greedy.
You should have a limit , but more importantly to make it goes as planned.
462  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: October 02, 2017, 01:02:52 PM
What I heard about how people get addicted to gambling is due to the fact that people who gamble is thinking that gambling can make them rich. Also the excitement and thrill when they gamble. Sometimes there are people who only gamble to escape reality with a promise of possible fortune. Almost anyone can be attracted by a promise of wealth. And with it can draw people to get addicted.
Everyone have the same purpose mostly in making money instantly in gambling.
That is the most attractive factor , you cannot avoid about that too right? Really a simple way to live this short life.
But they are mostly did not responsible too , and just creates a lot more problem.
463  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading sucks, I'll just hold my coins on: October 02, 2017, 12:48:32 PM
Trading always needs a lot of patience and dedication because you need to learn many things about the market fluctuations. Every time we won't get positive results through trading we have to wait patiently when we reach our target price.
Yeaaa it should be done with a lot of passion .
When you do it with full spirit want to know and learn more to make profit through trading you will become patient then.
Without that you might just get tired too early when actually the goal is so nearly in front of you.
464  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Problem Gamblers here who are in Debt ? on: October 02, 2017, 12:36:44 PM
It's depend on gambler's religion and family support since that the most important in order to recover their mental before getting worse
Of course , it's need some time to pay their debt but with healthy mind, everything will go smooth later
That's true. If we have a healthy mind, we can have a better life. Getting worse is also depend on a person if they are not determine to stop in gambling. They get buried in debt because of their addiction in gambling. If we have a good mind, we will not going to think of having a loan just to play gambling.
A lot of people around here who actively gamble have experienced get so much debt caused gambling.
They did not give up by the way , just keep tryimg to recover it.
That was a bad decision indeed , they are getting addicted , lost so much but cannot stop to play.
465  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: you need to overcome your fear of losing money on: October 01, 2017, 11:56:19 PM
Losing is part of successfully trading. If you treat losing as part of trading then you are an experienced trader.

So, it's not 100% surely profit... There are a lot of risks here, same with gambling. I would say trading has something similar as sports betting. You have a cue based in facts and observation, so you use your money to make an action based in your prediction. It can be successful or not. Higher chance of profit than Dice game, but not certain...
In trading you cant really avoid on making trades on which you are really just hoping that price would go as you liked which is really similar on playing gambling liked on sports betting but i would say that both things are different specially on longer runs. Losing money cant really be avoided since anything on this world when it comes on making money do really have the risk on losing some.
A lot of times things did not goes as planned and that is normal in predicting world such as trading.
Full of specualtions , and to take the risk on losing money because of wrong prediction is very normal to be faced.
You just need to get used to it and find the way to deal with it 
466  Other / Archival / Re: Do you think that you're addicted to gambling? on: October 01, 2017, 11:47:58 PM
I think i'm addicted to gambling because without gambling and feel lonely when i did not go gamble. Gambling is so addictive if we don't think the risky things that will happen. I always go gamble even if i lose. Because gambling for me is having fun and chance to earn profit. I think i'm addicted to gambling, because i spend too much time and money until my money is gone, i always think how to win in gambling especially in the jackpot.
At least you have taken the first step recognizing that you have a problem but now you need to take the next steps and that is to stop gambling, look for something else to entertain yourself so you do not think about gambling all the time, find a hobby something that you enjoy doing besides gambling.
Yeaaa you might will have to face gambling problem and stay away from it step by step.
You cannot do that all at once , realizing and make a real move to do a self-instropection then looking for help is a big progress.
Rather than just think about it without doing anything and just gamble again in another day.
It is human nature that everyone just goes toward money. No one in this world who don’t want money. So people get addicted to gambling when they intended to earn money from it but they failed and got addicted. So as you said, it will not the process of all at once, rather you will be doing it in one by one step. Leave it gradually as it will not directly affect you.
Money , yeaaa it will always about money when you are struggle trying to leave .
The reason is you need that instant money but you cannot get it and just keep trying play against the house edge.
That's what mostly called as an addict , the one who have a lot of excuses to stay , yeaaa a non sense excuse.
467  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Go to Land Based Casinos? on: October 01, 2017, 11:25:53 PM
Land casinos are only good if you go there once in a while otherwise online casinos are very convenient and easy to access with some privacy at least. I have visited some when I was on vacations otherwise I dont find it that cool to play there.
Online casinos are still the best choice compared to real casino land, we need special access to go to the casino ground, whereas with online casinos we can access it anytime and anywhere, with our identity being anonymous, it becomes one of the best possible choice for the middle class gamblers
Online casinos provide more facilities than land based casinos. You do not need to go to the place rather place is in your hands. There are four requirements for this. You need an internet connection, a device, an account on the website and some amount also. It can be played with people from all very the world.
Technology overseas everything in the world and what is left is being occupying by it in present times with accelerated speed. So casinos are also a form of its evolution. Online casinos allow the users to have all same well managed way of gambling just sitting in your sofa. But don’t you think you don’t have reality as in land based casinos?
Yeaaa still , the atmosphere pretty much different , gamble in land based casinos much more thrilling.
Online casino sometimes just make people like an autism , just lay in your bed all day long abd talking to noone.
Socializing is the key to be real life nowadays , as technology could make someone asocial , and that is bad.
468  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can trading be considered as gambling?? on: October 01, 2017, 11:05:32 PM
No it's not. You can't considered trading as gambling, it's not the same. You basically use your skills and knowledge in trading. You have the the ability to predict the price in the market. Gambling on the other hand is purely based on luck. You can't predict what will be the outcome when you gamble. 
Sometimes i think trading and gambling there's no difference , as you only need to guessing something to get profit.
Then where's exactly things make them different? It is required skills for both.
Luck required also no matter in trading or gambling , maybe only on how gambling has an edge but not with trading.
469  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dice Game Bankroll Question on: September 30, 2017, 07:51:07 PM
Dear All! I would like to thank you again for your kind answers. The engagement of the community is astonishing. I will certainly check MoneyPot and Betking. MoneyPot seems promising at the moment. 
Better to build your own script so you will have your own dice platform characteristics.
But of course it cost a lot of money , if you just looking for a mainstream dice site then it is okay to buy it rather than build a new one.
I just think the competition is so thight in bitcoin dice , a lot of trustworthy site managed by trustworthy member existed already here , you might struggle to compete with them. Goodluck by the way.
470  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Excuses on: September 30, 2017, 07:30:38 PM
Gambling with someone's else money is too risky. What would you do if you lost all the money you have borrowed? I would just cut down on many things in order to save up some money. Finding a normal job with guaranteed salary would be the best idea for me in a such situation. I don't like recommending what to bet on something when someone is asking me. If the lose their money, they will get mad at me.
When you do lend some money for the sake of fulfilling your own greedy , it was a terrible mistake.
You might think could recover your losses , but the reality says different.
The odda always against you and there's no good end when you keep repeating that same mistakes as an excuse to gamble.
471  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Benefits from Gambling on: September 29, 2017, 06:35:45 AM
I've been gambling for almost 15 years now, the only benefit that I could see on gambling is that, it is fun and it relives stress. And, through gambling, you can find new friends. Besides from that, gambling would do you nothing good. Gambling makes people greedy and makes them lose everything they have.
One thing that i know is that gambling gives fortune for 1 person and steal money from thousands people.
There is benefit but more disadvantages when you count it fairly.
Let's be realistic about things like gambling , it doesn't relives stress , it is created a new level of stress.
In a game, if one team wins that implies that the other has lost. It is not just true for gambling. This is how things are in this world. Your winning is basically someone's defeat so you decide whether you celebrate your victory or opponent's defeat. It is good to see positive in everything.
Yeaaa just don't be ignorant of things that pretty clear have a lot of disadvantages.
Gambling might give you instant money as the benefit , having fun for some people etc.
But overall i believe people did not feel get the real benefit from gambling , too much problem caused.
472  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to Turn Gambling into a Profitable Activity on: September 29, 2017, 06:15:13 AM
I don't really think that you could turn gambling into a profitable activity,
You wouldn't always win in gambling there is a high chance that you would only lose all of your money if you got addicted to it.
Yes, i agree with you, It's hard to turn gambling into a profitable activity, because it's too hard and risky, You just need to be lucky, to make some profit by gambling, but luck is not always with us, and mostly we lose.

So, personally, I didn't consider gambling a source for getting profit, it's just for fun, no more.

Agree! Its really hard to profit in gambling out of 10 game you will have the only chance you will get is maybe 1 to 2% of win then i think that is not still profitable. If someone wants to have profit maybe go on trading risk is still there but not as the same as gambling.
In the ling run i think there's no way you can make it happen for sure.
You might won it for seveeral times and there's a winning streaks to , but when you want it continuously i don't think it could be profitable.
Considering any games in gambling is a -EV , means you are expected to lost sooner or later.
473  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is China still going to ban bitcoin exchange in China on: September 28, 2017, 10:39:25 AM
We can't really tell. They have taken a step back in their decision. So for sure if they might have a change in heart once they found out that their decision was not for the greater good of the Chinese community. And might suddenly make a U-turn again and allow the operations of their local exchanges. We have to wait and see how things pans out.
It is indeed they are ban bitcoin exchanges there (confirmed)  , but not with the bitcoin transaction itself.
So no wonder if recently the price of bitcoin getting higher even the closure date is near within a week.
It won't affect much to the price , as chinese bitcoin holder can still trade on an outside china exchange.
474  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Practice trading on: September 28, 2017, 09:25:23 AM
Hello im newbie and i dont have any experience as a trader.Can you discuss some solutions for my problem?

First you need to read topics here in the forum that discussess about trading. You can reasearch as well in the internet on how to do trading. So if you had read and understand the cycle of trading better yet start do the trading. It is best if you could start on a little amount and try to trade best on your knowledge and practice it because experience would teach you what to do at first and you will learn how to deal with trading and its risk. You really have to try personally for you to be able experience the actual trading i can say its a trial and error but it would be worth it in the end.
Let's trade, you do not need to have much knowledge, it not useful if you can not apply it into reality and make money from it. Improve your trading skills with small funds, then try increase your funds and trade again till you think is enough.
If you can acquire a lot of knowledge before start trading i think it is much better.
But yeaaa there's no harm to brace yourself go for trading and learning on the proccess
Do it slowly and with passion , you will get a lot of lesson later , just be patient
475  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What would you do with your winnings? on: September 28, 2017, 09:03:49 AM
If that is going to be a huge price like let's say its 10 or 20 btc then I will definitely buy a new house and a brand new car. I will save the money left to invest in bitcoin.
Yeaaa make yourself as comfortable as possible , take the opportunity of your winning moment before it turned a loss later.
When you have spent it on something physical , you won't have a big regret in case you lost someday.
As you have something that you can sell it again , just hopefully you will never do that.
476  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What to do when prices are falling on: September 27, 2017, 03:04:14 PM
For me i check the the charts for good patterns that will signal me to just hodl it or bail out, because you can gain more money if you did this but it's bit tricky sometimes.
Not that easy to see the charts , and looking for the certain pattern .
Sometimes there's no pattern in cryptocurrency market , it is looks like everything so random.
I won't do this kind trick , it feels like you are doing a 50/action , better to looking for a safe way by cut the loss or hold it forever!
477  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can maths help you win in gambling ? on: September 27, 2017, 02:36:30 PM
Gambling is an uncertain game and we just rely on luck. I do not think mathematics would matter in the gambling game. Whatever we do like doing calculations then it will not have a significant impact. Mathematics will not mean in gambling and gambling does not require math to be able to achieve victory. Only luck can change everything. So multiply prayer than you should think to calculate what you want to get.
It is matter in the modern gambling , you can use the probability maths.
Especially when it comes to online gambling where the game itself designed / coded based on math.
So when you found there's a gap , i mean something that you can take it as a benefit with your math skills (the probability) you can go for it and get a profit , maybe ... still maybe for me Cheesy
478  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: September 27, 2017, 06:11:13 AM
gambling offers some kind of fun that makes you always asking for this game. also, the fact of having too much choices in betting makes you sure about the possibility of winning in each game.

It is the rush that most people come back for. Or others who doesnt have daily jobs tend to find it productive to play gambling so they atleast can provide financial support to their love ones.
The feeling in your head, the excitation of the probability that you are going to win again in gambling. But for sure it would require something to be lost in order to gain and most of the time, that's how life works.
It cost too much money , gambling is really an expensive entertainment with its big risk.
Things make gambling addictive because of its easy making money potential .
While actually the chance for you to make it happen really small, you will lost definitely.

I guess it would not be that high risk as long as you are only using as bankroll the money that you can afford to lose in exchange for the fun and entertainment. That way, you are really not chasing for good profit but for fun - hence, if you are going to lose, it doesn't really matter because what you are really after is the process of fun, excitement, and entertainment.
If you really can do that then well done , you are a responsible gambler.
You don't have to worry become an addict , as you have done an incredible work to redeem your emotion and thinking about entertainment only.
Gambling shouldd be treated like that for sure to avoid a dangerous addiction , but i admit it never easy.

480  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Does Bitcoin have a future? on: September 27, 2017, 05:42:31 AM
so you never use bitcoin before. bitcoin have value when people need it to transfer arround the world to get stuff. Do you known money history?
Obviously bitcoin are highly used by people in order to make easy and fast international transactions. I don’t think so there is any person who is aware of the potentials and real advantages of bitcoin is going to ignore them anymore. Bitcoin are best invention so far and they are the future international currency.
No , they are still ignore bitcoin existence , especially when the government encourages to do so.
We need more time until the real digital era begin.
For now it still far away , i mean at some places maybe it has begun , but not spread evenly.
