Actually in every task it needs strategy and skills so as in gambling,it needs skills and strategy.Once you gamble right from the start you have your plans on how you can win and earned,not that just by putting up to something without even thinking.Don't just say it was just for fun ,once your into gambling to earned and win matters,so it takes skills.

I don't think gambling is skill-based. Just a few categories, like sports betting. Except them, it's all about luck.

I don't consider BlackJack being a skill-based game either, not even partially. There are still random cards, you never know what you're going to get.

It is fun and one way to get away yourself from stress,in the sense that you had your time for yourself.Where your kinda of person that gambling will give you time to relax and get you away from your personal problem.Its your another way of enjoying yourself.

But it can quickly turn into another problem if you can't control yourself: loosing. So we gotta be careful before playing with money. It might be just a piece of paper, but that piece of paper can change our lives one day.

I am greedy and I acknowledge this fact. I have lost a shitload of money trying to win the jackpot. Its an illusion which is becoming an obsession trying to win a jackpot and be rich and finally to be able to quit gambling. A jackpot of 500 BTC would be enough for me and I live dreaming that one day I will hit it.

It usually takes a very, very long time. And except that.. in the end, when you will get the reward of 500BTC, it might seem a lot but if you calculate you would have wagered more money than that. It's a strategy for the casinos, because otherwise everyone would win so easy.

E.g. to get the 9900x payout on Dice games, you have to roll about 10-12k bets (I've tested it many times with prerolls). If you calculate it.. let's say you want to win 9900 satoshis. You are going to play with 1 satoshi. It would take you 10-12k satoshis to finally win. The loss can be less or more than that. Same thing goes for 4950x, 2475x and so on.. until 1.01202x. this is the strategy.

It's possible, but you've got pretty low chances to be among the lucky ones. There are only a few guys reaching this stage, and you should never rely on betting. It might bring you enough money to live for a few days, weeks or even months but in the long run it's a loss every time.
4625  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you know when to stop? on: August 11, 2016, 09:20:26 PM
Hello
Gamblers should know when to stop. It totally depends on your own mentality. If you are one who is chasing big profits - well good luck because that will never happen. If you are the type of people who are happy with their small profits then you cash out as soon as you reach a limit or stop betting when you lose a certain fraction of your bankroll.Keep good statistics of these they are very important.
Good Luck!!

I'm wondering how many are able to do that though. If you would get $5, you wouldn't stop there because you'd want $6. And then $7 and so on until you loose all. And then you'll regret it. Unfortunately, it happens most of the time. If you can control this, you're amazing.
4626  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling has killed me (money vanished) on: August 11, 2016, 09:15:16 PM
You know when you gamble winning is not everything because a large number of players always face same destiny when they keep playing to break the house. You need always to be lucky or to win to make money whereas house needs just few times. You reached to same situation because of not stop playing. You should accept the reality and don't carry on to avoid further losses.

People are being taught gambling is the fastest and easiest way to get rich. FALSE. It's all about marketing, nothing more. We've probably all been fooled the first time.
4627  Economy / Gambling / Re: Investing in btc casinos on: August 11, 2016, 06:19:54 PM
Hello!

I've got a few coins on the side and I'd like to make them work.
Which gambling site do you advise me to invest in the bankroll?

Crypto-games.net is very good for investment, because their bankroll is only 300 BTC and they share 80% of the profit with investors. I'm investing there for 4 months and never regretted it.

I'm wondering though, what is the approximate % return you got in those 4 months (I understand you don't want to specify the exact amount in btc.)? It looks like a good investment in the long run, especially since players regualarly go on tilt losing more than just the house edge by making too big bets.

A good winning streak and the player actually stopping to cash out can severely cut into any profits though.



It's 4-5% per month on average. There are a lot of highrollers recently, so investors see losses for a few days, but on larger scale it's quite profitable. The bankroll keeps increasing, was 350 before BTC crash, so it might become a bit less profitable in the future, if new big investors will come.



Crypto-games.net also keeps more of their statistic open than other sites, here's is their total profit chart.



I've found that it's usually better to invest with altcoins there, less bankroll, so on some days you can make quite a big profit.
But choose the ones that are used frequently.

If you invest Bitcoin, you'd need to invest quite a lot to see any significant profit.  

This is very good information thank you so much, those returns look very good. I think i will follow what you say and invest different amounts into each currency according to how much activity they have.

Looks great, but is still risky. 4-5% per month is not enough to risk your money for, imo. With a few thousands, you can create your own casino. THAT wil be a huge profit for you.

There are lots of games, but all of them require you having luck. Except sports betting, where it's luck and knowledge combined. Don't be greedy, stop when you have to. And be careful - addictions are dangerous.
4629  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: In gambling, Money is more important than knowledge and luck on: August 11, 2016, 06:11:51 PM
Money to start.
Knowledge to manage.
Luck to win.
All three has their own importance and individual role in gambling. But which is most important one for gambling. Can we manage to be profitable with any one of them. What is your opinion.

For me it is knowledge. Because even if you start with a small amount it can get big with your knowledge on how to play it. If you have the right knowledge you will know when to stop playing and control yourself from getting greedy. Luck is just a bon  us in gambling it doesn't happen everytime.

But until you get this knowledge you're talking about, you'll keep on loosing and loosing. It's part of the game. Controlling yourself is the hardest part of it.
4630  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does gambling worth playing? on: August 11, 2016, 06:10:34 PM
If you think this isn't going to make you greedy and uncontrollable enough to loose your wallet and home, it's not worth it. It only happened once for me to loose over $50 and I never did it again ever since.
4631  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: LUCK!!! :) How does it feels? on: August 11, 2016, 06:09:12 PM
Hello
Being greedy is one of the biggest mistakes made by an amateur gambler. This is one of the facts why casinos are making a profit - they exploit the greedy people to play more and more and ultimately lose everything.
One should always cash out early and keep the profits and not get busted - but in real life its very difficult.
Good Luck!!

Actually you can control your own greed (usually it affect from family and friend's support )
When someone win, they feel joy and it will turn into addicted if it can't be control !

Whether you loose or win, you still cannot control it. I don't know exactly why, I guess it's the hope that you'll become rich sooner or later. That's only your imagination though.. I wish this is how it would've worked for everyone in this world. That would have been great. Casinos become like our enemy as soon as we loose: we're trying to hit (place higher and higher bets) to destroy them (get as much money as you can from the owners). This unfortunately ends most of the times with them destroying us.
4632  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: is gambling fix your life? or wreck your life? on: August 11, 2016, 06:05:31 PM
It has not taken over my life as I had to put a stop to it or it would have ended my life very early on.
It is hard to stop an addiction but you have to find some else to replace it good or bad. Hopefully good because the other bad addictions will just compile the problem even worst then it already is.
I turned to gambling addiction by switching collecting birds, one of which is the birds love bird. if I continue gambling until today probably would not like it in my life. even now I was using bitcoin wisely. trading is one way to process the bitcoin so that we benefit.
Gambling and trade bitcoin on the exchange, are two different things, one of which actually is more profitable and less risky.

Both are risky. Both can turn into huge profit fast. But here's the trick: gambling is ONLY about luck; trading can be done with a little bit of strategy too. If you hear about some currencies going down/up before everyone else does, you can become a millionaire overnight.
4633  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To Gamble or To Invest? on: August 11, 2016, 05:40:39 AM
possible to make money in Gambling but Investing your money in trading is less risky than to gamble it

You are very wrong, gambling is not going to give you money, gambling will only make you addicted (if it can not control themselves) and also gives you a great loss. Gambling is just well done to look for fun and to earn money and then trading profit also is the best way to do and used for trading risk is much smaller than the gambling.

Yeah that is true gambling is sure have very high risk but the payout really good for sure. And I can say trading is much more safer but it is slow profit. Actually you should do both trading with huge amount and gambling will small amount so although if you are lose it you wont lose that much may be with a huge amount of trading you can really get recover some of your loss from gsmbling

So.. would you risk $10k in gambling if you had that much in this moment? I bet you wouldn't. I prefer trading over gambling. It's better to have a smaller risk and a smaller payout than having a 50/50 chance of loosing and winning. Gambling can take your money in a split second.
4634  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling made for kids???? on: August 11, 2016, 05:35:27 AM
The answer is no, but kids dont know yet what is right or wrong so the parents must have proper guidance to their child and give the attention they needed for them not to walk in the wrong path. but nowadays, anyone can use bitcoin either kids or adult so its the responsibility of the parents on how to deal with it.

Some parents are just too busy with their jobs and earning methods, so their kids sometimes explore the internet by their own, and when the parents arrive, they will deny that they visit a gambling site... Though kids could really gamble because it;s not that hard, not too complicated for a kid to play..

So.. when you have a kid you're randomly telling them when arriving home "You are gambling"? It's hard to tell whether they are or not, you know? Valve's CS:GO has this betting AND trading system, and kids are now used to it. You can't stop them. You don't even need to, you only have to tell them what is good and what isn't and they will understand.
4635  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: the easiest way to make a profit from gambling? on: August 11, 2016, 03:54:55 AM
Try to playing bitsweeper i have made good profits at this game, bitsweeper also make our adrenaline pumped
If you want play other game try to play dice that game can make give us big profits but with our lucky factor Wink
actually any kinds of gambling games are pumped your adrenaline.

the curiosity want to know the result which you don't know and will earn you money make your adrenaine pushed. so for me dice , minesweeper , poker or any other games are just same hard to make profit. nothing is easy.

They're actually easy to loose. Placing different headers and messages like 'EASY MONEY' is just marketing strategies. This attracts people, and even I got attracted to two of them and am still playing there for years.
4636  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to stay away from gambling? suggestions ? on: August 11, 2016, 03:48:43 AM
i think that the best idea would be to find other hobbies

Yes this is the most appropriate solution to stay away from gambling, it is not by getting addicted to another thing because it is going to be a problem again for you and going to ask how to stay away and quit there too. Finding a hobby that you like is going to make it happen, like always playing basketball and other sports.

Better way is not finding gambling as hobby Wink Because when you will get in to it, changing hobby can be not enough and you will need "more proffessional" help. The only way to play safe is playing for fun!

You're partially right. This guy wants to find a way to stop his addiction completely though.

It's like drugs, maybe even worse. Addictions are always hard to get through. Finding other hobbies may help you out for stone time, but you will still think about gambling and will still want to do it.

For smoking, I found out buying cheap cartridges helps you out to combat the addiction. We have to find ways to combat this one too.

I'd say just go and place a secondary password on your wallet. Place one that is hard to keep in mind, write it on a paper and give it to your family. This is how you are going to first of all stop depositing. After that, play with faucet. That will probably get you bored and you'll then finally combat the addiction.
4637  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: is gambling worth to try for newbie? on: August 11, 2016, 02:51:07 AM
hello there,
i was newbie to bitcoin.
already collected some from faucets, service and giveaway.
is gambling worth to try for me?
or it can be double edge for me?

I think so, for the sake of experience and not to get addicted to it. It's really hard when people are talking about gambling and you can even relate because you've never tried it before. Newbies can use the free bits available on gambling sites. Who knows? Maybe they can even earn a huge profit out of the free bits. Also, it's better to slack off sometimes, try new things, and have fun gambling.

Agree, but for newbie better learn how to gambling right,
so you're not going to just hand over your money for nothing but loss.
We need friend who teach us and to avoid gambling addiction, and then experience will make us good at it.
I think for start gambling, you may bet with small amount first and be ready to lose it, make sure to save extra bitcoin in wallet.


Nobody can teach you how to avoid addiction except yourself. And you can't become good at it either, except if you are talking about sport betting. And even there, it can be a loss really easy.
4638  Economy / Gambling / Re: Bitcoin Gambling Invest List on: August 11, 2016, 02:46:27 AM
i want ask you that this list is trusted because i am also looking for investment . sorry for i have no list of investment trusted sites

The websites OP has posted are safe. So investing in them is safe too, when it comes to scams. However, investing is still a risk because the house can loose anytime. Be careful! You never know when it happens.
4639  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcoin Gambling is Exploding on: August 11, 2016, 02:30:51 AM
Bitcoin gambling is better than any other type because of the low amount you can play with. On Dice games, I can play with 1 satoshi. There's no other casino accepting that small amount except the ones for Bitcoin. Also, it's fast and secure. But USD gambling is far more popular and played than BTC is.
