Oklahoma City Thunder @ San Antonio Spurs, San Antonio Spurs have played very poorly in some games and I think Oklahoma is not a difficult opponent for the San Antonio Spurs but for safe I will make two bets on this game under 204.5 points and San Antonio Spurs - 9.5 points.

The under bet is good. you can always bet under on a spurs game. I don't think spurs will win this game. They are already happy in their spot and lately they show no real effor to win a game. They are more focus on resting their starters and prepping for the playoffs.

If i am rich, i will confidently answer it no because you can give help or donations to poor people instead of losing it in gambling. By the way i am already rich and no need to become richer.

Good for you. You have a better perspective of what to do and what not. Not a lot of people will choose to help or donate. Most will choose to buy something that can entertain them like gambling. But you are different.

I don't know why but I always get a feeling to gamble, after then losing my money, I quit for some time and then continue, but I know I will lose my btc Sad

Why is it so addictive?
Agreed , Trust me or not , i am new in gambling and every day i start and losing btc ,

If you keep losing in gambling then you should take a break from it and dont make it a habit because in the long run you will lose a lot of money.

Don't just take a break on it, get away from it. Quit gambling. Everyone knows gambling is addicting and too much of something is bad. Gambling will not just lose you money, it can also break apart your relationships with others. Quit while it is still early and while you can.
4664  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how much you lost money in gambling? on: April 12, 2016, 12:45:12 PM
I lost around 0.01 btc I think. It was all hard-earned money. It's not that much in other countries but for a teenager like me living in a third world country, it's a little big. I was outrageous and went all in in bustabit. Worst mistake of my gambling life.

Sometimes you just have to YOLO on your bets and hope for a win. That is the easiest way to double your money and also the easiest way to lose it all. Unfortunately for you, you went all in and lost. It happens all the time and you just have to be prepared if it does. If you can't do that, stop gambling before you get depressed.
4665  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are your gambling stats? (Profit/Loss) on: April 12, 2016, 12:33:31 PM
Lost another 0.01 btc right now. My losses are starting to stack up. I know I should stop this but sometimes it's just too tempting to resist. 0.01 is just small amount, but when I think of where bitcoin is heading, that 0.01 might be large amount someday.

Cavs now got the top seed for the east. Playoffs picture are closely finalizing and are just around the corner. Who are you guys predicting to get to the conference finals?

It will be cavs all the way for the east. It is harder to predict on the west. This is really a year for the warriors but I am curious if the spurs will come up with some strategy to beat them. They can be very good defensively and limit the scoring power of golden state. Tough choice to make.

It's all about the chemicals that it makes your brain secrete, giving you intense moments of highs that you wish to chase.

Definitely agree on this one. It's all psychological. Admins on gambling site do train our brains to manipulate us to keep on betting even if we don't even have money left for ourselves.

No, admins has nothing to do with game, instead, the game itself is the one that causes us to feel those highs...Imagine  when you bet and you made a near hit to a jackpot...That is the one, which, when mixed with "greed" then results to betting more and more...

That is true. It happened to me before. It is more addicting if you almost hit the jackpot. It is giving you false hope that you will actually win the grand prize but your not. Some people know it that is why they try to control themselves. Others don't. They just become addicted to the game.

Gambling is a very good thing for the bitcoin because as you can see that gambling is one of the things that really makes the bitcoin popular.
There are now already so much online casino's for the bitcoin with a lot of variety of games to bet on.

That is true. Gambling makes sure that there is a constant movement in bitcoin. Without it, bitcoin will be an idle currency. We can thank gambling for that because it makes the price stable and grow higher. And the gamblers can thank bitcoin for all the benefits bitcoin can give them.

Gambling is fun but I think it will not be fun if you are rich so I would answer this question with a no honestly because I think there is no enjoying part anymore.
Its nice to spend dollars but with gambling you want to win money and if you are rich you do not need that money anymore..

Everyone wants to win. And most people are greedy. This two will satisfy that even if you are rich, you will still be tempted to gamble. The feeling that you get when yoh win can be addictive. That is why, even if a person is rich he will still gamblebif he was a gambler before. He will still want to have more money and he will crave for that feeling when he wins.

Pacman outclassed Bradley knocking him down twice, I didn't see the fight live, had to catch a replay of it but I knew Manny would win. Apparently he is going to retire now but we will see if he sticks to that decision.

It is high time he resign from boxing and focus on politics. Anyway, his political career is getting in the way of his boxing career. He cannot serve two boss anyway. So if he retires, he can serve better the people by being their leader.

Manny Pacquiao will go down as a legend of the sport, I'm just sad he couldn't beat Mayweather Sad
That was my hope for him.
Beating mayweather will not add anything more to what manny has already accomplished. He is already a legend conquering 8 division and standing as champion. Beating another trashtalker will not add.any spice to what he achieves.
4671  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling problem on: April 11, 2016, 04:19:57 PM

well I ever do that. when I only have 0.001, I could not do anything with it. so I try my luck at gambling with the goal I could get at least 0.01. but that happened I lost and I did not think consequences, because I think it is a small amount.

Yup! people are just disregarding the small amounts and they always don't think that they can get much by just getting this kind of amounts I personally love faucets and it gives free bitcoin even in just a small amount you can always gambling to make it big and even if it lose you will not say sorry because it comes from free faucets.

I will be sorry. It takes time to build a considerable amount thru faucet. And you will just lose it to gambling in a snap. Consider the time you spent earning those dust. Those time will never be brought back and you wasted it to gambling.

If Spurs shoots 3's better percentage they could win the game but it's not the end of the world. Regular season records are nothing comparing to championships. At the end of the season Warriors won't be the champions so their record mean nothing.

Shooting 3's is not a spurs game. They are not a high scoring team. Their specialty is defense. If they could limit the warriors from.scoring, they have a chance to fight for the championship. But spurs is an old team unlike gsw. This may be the year of the warriors again.
4673  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you were rich, would you still gamble? on: April 11, 2016, 03:58:24 PM
I wont gamble ever if I was rich because the basic aim of is to become rich at any point.
you think after you're rich you will not regret and sad when they lost in gambling?
I think they are rich or not. they will still be sad when they lost in gambling dude.
do not forget that gambling can make you poor in a moment


Especially if you bet big and you lose. You are rich and you can afford to bet big, but you lose. Depression can sometimes sets-in in those moments. And that will destroy any person, rich or poor.  That is bad and can destroy a family if left uncheck. So to avoid it, avoid gambling whether your rich or poor.
4674  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: April 11, 2016, 03:55:26 PM
The fact that you can win much money with gambling is enough to attract so many people in this world. People just love money, so the fact that they can win more money with money sounds good to those people.

And the reward you get when you win. It is like when you train a dog and you give them reward if they follow you, then they will keep.doing it. It is the same with gambling, when we win, something triggers in us to do it again. Until it become a habit and then an addiction.
4675  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be considered as a Sickness!! on: April 11, 2016, 03:52:48 PM
-snip-
In gambling you only win from the start then you lose whenever you win a certain amount.
It is not true at all. If that was the case than it would mean that every gambling bet is rigged and tinkered in a way to let newcomers win.
And we all know that this is simply not true. And it is only a popular belief of people who have no idea how gambling works.

I think he is just mentioning beginner's luck but you are correct, it is not true that new comers always win. There maybe a chance that beginner's maybe a bit luckier than the regulars but I don't think they will always win. I was once a beginner too but I lost bigtime that time.
4676  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How long do you play per day gambling like Dice ? on: April 11, 2016, 10:37:16 AM
I do not gamble that much anymore. But when I was still gambling, I can say that I only gamble about 2 to 3 hours a day. I do not gamble straight hours. Only a little bit every now and then. Only when there is nothing to do anymore. I quit because I think I can use the money for better things. But every now and then, I am still tempted to do gambling.
4677  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how much you lost money in gambling? on: April 11, 2016, 10:34:23 AM
I have lost so much before and I stopped gambling. But, last week I got a bonus from a gambling site thru their games and rounds. And I did it again, I wasted the bonus on a YOLO and lost it all. If I just have a good control on myself, I could have used the money for better things.
4678  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: April 11, 2016, 10:32:02 AM
People who are addicted to gambling still believe in the fact that they are going to win the jackpot are this huge amount of money. It can surely happen but it will not happen to everyone that gambles. 

And they will not stop believing until they draw their last breathe or someone help them out of their addiction. It is a sad story but it is true. Gamblers hoping for a jackpot but if you sum all the money spent betting, they already have spent the jackpot amount on bets. If they only realize that, then don't have to chase the jackpot.
4679  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: PACQUIAO OR BRADLEY???????? on: April 11, 2016, 10:27:56 AM
Even if the fight ended in a decision it is quite clear this time that Manny Pacquiao is a better fighter tonight than Tomothy Bradley. It was a good fight! I lost my bet but Im happy that Manny can retire now and focus more on hob as a Law Maker.

Manny is now $20 million USD richer and Bradley is $4 million USD richer
I think that he will not retire, so many fans are still waiting for Manny-Mayweather II. And me too, Im still waiting and hoping. I want manny kick mayweather's ass.

Pacquiao-Mayweather 2 will never happen. Mayweather is too wise to do that. He already won a battle, why would he risk his record for another bout. We know what he did during the match, but that does not matter to him. A win is a win. And his record is clean.
I also really looking forward to the match was going back. I'm still not satisfied with the outcome of the game are announced by jury
pacman should be able to win the match

Since even before that fight began, we already know that if pacquiao did not knock out mayweather in the ring, he will lost the bout. Pacquiao was going for it but mayweather was wise enough to outbox him and hurt him thru scores. So there is no use for a second fight with mayweather because the same scenario will  happen. And I think it is best for pacman to retire now. He is not getting any younger.

Yes no doubt bitcoin is one of best option for gambling because it anonymous and very easy to get start there just in a seconds.
And thats why more and more sites have started to accept bitcoins, because ask any gambler what he wants apart from more coverage of sports and odds, he will say I want my withdraw fast and without any questions.

You do not need to log in or have an account to start betting. Just open the gambling website and deposit some coins and you are good to go. The same is true when withdrawing your money. This accommodation of bitcoin in processing payments and deposits on online gambling sites are the biggest plus to gamblers.
