I have $100,000 to invest but want to safely double it in a year. Any suggestions?

-Don't keep the money. Inflation bites.
-Don't deposit the money into the bank.
-Don't by shares or land

Buy bitcoins instead Grin
I think he would be fewer rejects it dude. 100k is a very big money need mental strength to take risks and put $ 100k in bitcoin. of course we will continue to be vigilant if the price drops. you have to be patient when it happens.
but if the price rises of course a huge advantage there would be to yourself

I still think investing in bitcoins is the good thing to do with that amount, it is very lucrative when investing in bitcoin, may believe that the price will rise in the future, so if you just buy bitcoins now then after the halving you can sell you bitcoin again with a decent profit. The key is just you have to take risk to gain big.

nope  Undecided , ive only ever went all in like twice in my life. i remember it was around 0.5 btc on a dice website both times and i lost both times. never gonna go all in ever again lol.
That hurts mate, that is already a decent amount, you can start already with trading using it, as I was saying earlier that don't bet what you can afford to lose it cause the consequence is you cannot accept your loses easily and might affect the other side of your daily living.
4603  Economy / Investor-based games / Re: HYIP: Are there any benefits? on: May 02, 2016, 05:33:58 AM
I've noticed there are a lot of hyip websites being promoted. Are there any benefits to running one? Which website(s) are the best to buy an HYIP website?
Theres no benefits in hyips even if you got payout because the profit that you gained is from scammed person the person who payin to payout you. Absolutely all hyips will become scam in long run but the basis of the life of hyips site is in their promo. If their promo is double your money in 1 day this hyip scam after 2-3 days. But if the hyips promo is 2.4% daily like minutbtc the life of this hyips site would be 30days-60days.
It is really sad to gain profit from an investment scheme knowing that it will scam a person. This is not a clean game, you may profit but majority losses their money. It is just appropriate to stop patronizing this kind of investment cause it will go scam sooner or later.
4604  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: May 02, 2016, 05:32:05 AM
Some are addicted because they wanted to get back their loses,Some want more profits in it
profits to be earned in gambling chances are very small, just the luck factor that could affect these benefits.
I think not only people those who lost are experiencing addiction but many people are experiencing victory in gambling
also kept always gambling and betting ?

It also causes an addiction, But that's what we call greed. When he/she already won but still want more it will sometimes lead into loosing a lot more money. That's why all gamblers needs control and need to be satisfied on what they won.

There are lot of people said this gamblers need to control there mind set and they have to fix one amount before playing But why still gamblers loosing there money including me why because we not follow these strategy we try to follow this but once we loose or win money we will lost our control and will start betting blindly.
The strategy was already their now the problem is most of the gamblers cannot implement it especially when they are under pressure. Pressure of winning and losing, that is why it is advisable that one should practice controlling his emotions before gambling.

wow pacers came storming back!!!

was looking like a blowout. Im actually shocked pacers have played the
series so close I thought 4-1 4-2 at best
almost for pacers just not enough time, but handicap covers and give me a winning bet, thanks george and the rest of the team, for me pacers is still a strong opponent against the cavs. lebron will dominate the east if wade will play weak. good luck bettors.
Yes Cavaliers will make alot of bettors happy. LeBron never seems to fail in the big games!  Grin

I will put bigger bet on them to make up the 20mbtc that I lost on this game tonight with stupid Pacers.
That's a good plan bro! I also lost my bet on pacers, I got them on ML and other parlays. I am looking forward also with cavaliers to win tomorrow and I think it will be blowout game for lebron knowing that they dominated the playoffs on the last playoff. I would like to show my bets:

https://nitrogensports.eu/betslip/af18e04SXJCRkFmWnROQVJhWkdKVlhXczFwUT09/r/409692/
https://nitrogensports.eu/betslip/b81b24bRWdoTU1DaDE2TkVmVUtLZCtpcUtVQT09/r/409692/
https://nitrogensports.eu/betslip/eba8764ZmhXaFdDWTBrdk5zTUtzR0NZVS80UT09/r/409692/
that's the real confidence for lebron mate, I'll bet with you here bringing all my yobit income let see if we can win together i know cavs will dominate this for us. good luck mate.
I totally agree, I know cavaliers will win especially at home, our problem now is are they gonna cover the point spread? It is safer to hit the moneyline on this time but it you have ball you go for the spread.

Usually game 1 is a blowout win for a home team because the adjustment is always on the suceeding game so, the spread has a good chance but not a safe bet anyway.
4606  Economy / Economics / Re: How would you double $100,000 safely? on: May 01, 2016, 10:21:03 AM
The best way to do that is buy bitcoin now at its current price. Hold it for at least 10 years and pray to God that the value will rise. I am optimistic that it will rise in the future due to many believers who patronize the usage of bitcoins.
4607  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin or gold? on: May 01, 2016, 10:19:32 AM
I choose bitcoin today because I don't have gold, I earn a decent amount of coins through trading that is why I will never leave bitcoin. I patronize it also because I am using it in my gambling.
4608  Economy / Speculation / Re: The future of Bitcoin on: May 01, 2016, 10:18:21 AM
Because of the increasing demand of bitcoin particularly in the gambling industry I can say the future of bitcoin is bright. I can say that it is good to invest today while the halving is near, I expect an abrupt increase of price the soonest.
4609  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is their any safe methods to gamble? on: May 01, 2016, 10:12:24 AM
There is a safe way. Never play with emotions or impulse. Never go all in with your total bankroll. Have good money management, split your bankroll and bet with amounts that are 1/15th of your bankroll, that way when you lose you still have many more to place and become even at worst case. Knowledge in what you bet is also needed, bet on things you know like players and many other factors. You only need to win 55% of the time and be at a small profit, over time that adds up. I have bet for 2 years and I am at a small profit of 2 bitcoins, however I have had many risky games parleys of 6 games where only 1 loses, so if I played safer I would be at a bigger profit. Bottom line is you have weeks and months where you lose and weeks when you win, as long as you manage your money good you should be even at worst case.

you are able to win cause you have good prediction. This is not by luck, but if you talk about dice game or other table games, you realise it is very hard to win since everything is based on luck.
Absolutely, do not rely on luck if you want the safest way to gamble, made some good research on how to win the game. Remember to have a good control of your self you will have always a good decision making. Bankroll management is very important key to be successful in gambling.
4610  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should I invest in bitcoin casinos? on: May 01, 2016, 10:11:08 AM
you could make a profit if the players lose. so look for sites that have a lot of players and has a high house edge.
you can be profitable from investment in that gambling sites

You seem to forget that you lose based on the amount that a player wins as well, so everything is the same actually. Instead of finding a site that has house edge, you should just invest on a site that has an industry standard edge instead since it will attract more player than those with higher house edge

i agree. imagine i know of a casino with 10% house edge, i will totally try to skip that cause i will end up losing even more time. The most important is the frequency of gambling amount per day. if the volume is big, even the house edge is average, the profit made will still be a lot more than the others.
If there is a huge house edge then it would always favor to the investors, I find it a good opportunity in investing that kind of casino cause you are playing with the house and eventually the bettors will lose in the long run.
4611  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be considered as a Sickness!! on: May 01, 2016, 08:29:06 AM
Yes gambling should be considered as a sickness, some people never can stop with it anymore and I think its very wrong to gamble also.
I also do it sometimes but I totally can help it to be honest, I think its a sickness for sure, because I really have some weird feeling if I gamble.
If you think gambling is a sickness, even you state that it is wrong, then what's reason you do that sometimes? Huh


You get addicted to it and you can't control it. If you are an addict already, you have the urge to always gamble no matter what the consequence is. You get bankrupt, you're neck deep in debts or you neglect prople around you, it does not matter as long as you can gamble. That is ehy it is a sickness.
That's true you if you are addicted you will find ways to gamble and may even sell your precious things if you don't have enough money to gamble. Because you always want the excitement you get from gambling then you will never notice that you already become bankrupt. If that will happen to you then I would say you have a gambling sickness.
4612  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you think? on: May 01, 2016, 08:26:28 AM
Well, many will be interested to buy your tips if you are established already. As new in here maybe you should create a thread and post some free picks in sports and after one season you put your winning percentage. I am into sports betting especially in NBA , I would appreciate if post your picks so I can tail.
4613  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sports Bet trading! on: May 01, 2016, 08:23:23 AM
I personally do not like gambling that much but I like betting on sports games. The sport I bet the most on is soccer/football. I do not bet much but I do it for the fun and because I like the sport.
its same,gambling and sports betting have same risk,but its just different on time between lost and win. yeah so many people make bet on football sport betting,and i think people make sports bet on sports that they know very well,i saw on this forum many people place bet on other sport like criket or basketball/
You see that sport bet trading is getting more popular and that is perfect for the Bitcoin because that is more used so that is perfect for the currency itself.
But many people like it to do and that is quite nice because you can earn money with it.

yup btc casino is helping the btc economy as it is a great exposure for the outside world. We always say that btc need more merchant/shop but even if there is one, people will not take up btc as the learning curve can be quite steep. However, with btc casino, it is very exclusive important that people can now play anonymous and with easy which no other fiat currency can do. 
We have to be thankful to the developer of BTC because as a gambler we can choose where and when we can gamble. Other countries have restrictions in online gambling but with the advent of BTC it become possible plus the fact that due to the increasing adoption of casinos on bitcoin we are offered with the most competitive odds especially in sports betting.
4614  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ALL IN!!?? on: May 01, 2016, 08:20:19 AM
Ever go all in  Shocked  and have a positive result?

Yes, of course. I really like poker, and I have some profit in the long run, and I did many all ins, because that is "normal" when you play many games. I don't really have stats for all my all ins, but I think I have a positive balance from them. Anyway, I can't really see poker from that point of view, doing an all in is part of a hand, and you can win or lose that hand, and that does not mean that it wasn't the best move, even if you ended losing it. In poker only the long run matters.
I could say that in poker this all in is applicable cause as a player you know it your card has a good chance of winning. Maybe all in is just for selective kind of gambling. This cannot be applied in dice or roulette cause in the long run you will lose.

Instead of finding a site that has house edge, you should just invest on a site that has an industry standard edge instead since it will attract more player than those with higher house edge

Actually you lose based on your weight of margin of investment.
So if there is people with 20 btc invested and you only have 1 btc you going to lose less then them.
Its a collective lose not just a lose on your part, i think this is what confuses people that your directly alone investing against users.
That's not the case you're sharing loses which reduces you loses significantly.
That's already given in the gambling venture, one must lose in order for the other to win. In investing a casino the house edge is your advantage then the more visitors the site has the more profit you get. Therefore if you want a decent earnings from this investment you better investment a considerable amount of BTC. Maybe around 100 BTC but always be cautious in selecting a casino.

Is their any safe methods to gamble? Means without losing much of our money can gamble?

Any tips or suggestions?

Always is risks in anything but gambling its too high. Maybe u can make money a while but it will catch up sooner or later. I think though betting is best as you can make constant profits more then losses.
Of course if you can constantly make money in betting of whatever gambling form it is than that is more safer than ever. If only we can make that, gambling is the easiest job then since you don't need to work more hours just to earn. It is safe for the winners but risky for the losers.
4617  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you were rich, would you still gamble? on: May 01, 2016, 08:12:07 AM
If i am rich iwont gambling anymore it will make you poor if your addicted to gambling
yeah what purpose have to gamble if you were rich? having fun ? you can have fun with anything else when you have a lot of money.
of course besides gambling
We people need some fun, but rich people does not want a regular fun, I admit that me myself experience an extraordinary fun while gambling which is really different from other things. The only difference is I am poor, so it's a different feeling compared to the rich people.
4618  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: is gambling fix your life? or wreck your life? on: May 01, 2016, 08:10:26 AM
the most important thing you can take from this experience is self control. and it is super important to have that because without a strong will you can not survive gambling. you should always be in control of what you put in and how much risk you are taking for that amount.

That's the problem with most of the people like me, when they're winning, they're excited and their greed forces them to play more until they lose all. If they're in loss, they get panic and they'll think that it is ok even if not making profit, I just want to win my money back and endup losing all anyway Tongue
I'm glad you admit it by yourself, mine to I felt always that way even if I have already planned that I will stop if I win this amount and instead what happened is I continue to bet until my winnings and bankroll are gone. In sometime I could really feel that It wreck my life but still I am gambling today.

It's not about admitting bro, I'm saying it with my personal experience.

If not taking about gambling for awhile, I'm doing the same with ORLY Coin at the moment.  Grin
That's good you just rest for a while an go back to gambling when you miss it. Gambling is everywhere you can bet at any casinos because most of them are already accepting bitcoins. Maybe you should also try sports betting, I guarantee you will have a different experience from other forms of gambling. By the way, the ORLY price in yobit is very low now, I think it will not survive.
4619  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcoin Gambling is Exploding on: May 01, 2016, 08:07:19 AM
I think that if a gambling business manages to establish itself and be consistent with a good service and no stories of getting hacked in the past, scams and so on, and they resist until Bitcoin becomes mainstream, all the people will gamble on those sites and the owners will become pioneers in the field and therefore millionaires. I think PrimeDice is on a good track to achieve that. I hope they do sig campaigns in the future again since they paid the highest ever.

Well I wish so that they will do a signature campaign again because many people are helped by signature campaign experiencing the quality and service of bitcoin and that will surely keeps people from getting involve in bitcoin.
As you can see now you see also that Bitcoin is getting more used for gambling and that is because it is quite easy to gamble with it because it is digital money.
And more people will get also more about it and that is perfect for the future, because we make it more popular now.
If we continue to patronize bitcoin then the adoption will be big with the majority, most of the early adopters of bitcoin are those gamblers, they use it in dice gambling sites and even sports betting. Sports gambling is a huge industry and apparently majority of the sports book today accept bitcoin so I can say the future is bright for bitcoin gambling.

yup! you are right, gambling is now in demand in the bitcoin world and it is a source where the bitcoin community is getting big, and now that bitcoin has many purposed in life in every people bitcoin is now a currency that you can rely on!
The gamblers support especially those who gamble regularly helps the price of the bitcoin to be stable and even rise in value. Now, that more and more casinos are opening and other casinos who already adopted bitcoin then we can expect a good competition among them. Especially in sportsbook they are gonna offer a competitive odds for the punters.
4620  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how much you lost money in gambling? on: May 01, 2016, 07:57:42 AM
I think i've lost around $50 dollars in gambling because of my YOLO bets Grin

but, it's nothing when you are gambling only for fun and not for profit.
Too small i lost many times in lotto and other games i think my total lose are around 4 btc and i think i can get it bak.. maybe if im lucky in lottery i can get it all back.. so still now i am still buying a ticket for lottery and waiting to hit my numbers..
Don't wait too long brother, "to stop", lottery is just a waste of money, you might be lured with media featuring the winners get interviewed in television. If you want to consider knowing the other side (losers) there testimony will even consume the whole year just to accommodate listening to all of them.
honestly in 7 months ago i win in lottery but i really dont hit the last digit but the 5 digit is exact to my ticket so im still win but not a jackpot price.. and receive i think around 4 btc...  so im trying again maybe i will get the exact number if im lucky in this year..

Even i am lose i can afford to lose..
Wow! that is already a huge amount, you still have to be thankful you won that amount knowing that it is really hard to win in lottery. Maybe you got pure luck that time, by the way is that an online lottery or what?
