If you play gambling you should know your limits on playing it, Before i am playing gambling I set my self to a goal that should i stop playing it. Because if you want too many profit you might lost because of youe greedyness. Control is the key on winning and you need luck too.
That's something everyone should learn, we must know how to control ourselves in gambling, otherwise we will not be successful on it. Making a strategy is vital but without proper execution it will be useful for any gambler, it's pretty simple to figure out how to win but in the long run it's challenging.
i'm not sure about become successful in gambling can really be realised, it's rare thing. i have spent years to gamble and yet i didn't found myself in successful. better to stop any gambling activity you have ever did. and spend your time elsewhere. honestly i think gambling wouldn't give you a good money even you win good amount .

Those people who are just becoming successful in gambling are the ones who have the rare luck in this world. And even how many strategies you got there as long as you don't have big bankroll, you can't be successful in it. Most of the people that are successful in this industry are the already rich enough and since they're rich enough, they want to expand their riches and don't stop at all. But for us who are just normal gamblers, we need to stop when you think you are losing a lot.
i don't agree with you about you can't success as long as you haven't a big bankroll. i even think that the bigger bankroll you have the bigger bet amount you will made , there is no difference. it's just the matter of how hard you manage it all until the end to make it profitable, almost impossible. you would never stop gamble if you can't handle your greedy however.
Indeed mate.. your greediness will be the one who will control your gambling activity. Some people changed their behavior especially if there's a money involve same with gambling you can't really tell your future in it so that's why many are being addictive to it because of the fortune can bring to their lives.

I was talking about the chance of winning for having a bigger bankroll. If you do have bigger bankroll, you can keep on gambling and gambling again and if you lose for awhile, you can just do a comeback and keep on covering your loses. But you are right with that it can cause to greediness and there's no difference, so better to stop.

I will not going to waste my time in going to gamble everything that I had. I will going to make my last day worth it, I will probably go to theme parks to see happy faces of the people, kids together with their family. So that if ever that will be my last day on Earth, then I will bring their smiles and happiness in my heart before I die.

the best way to stop gambling is to get closer to God a lot of reflecting on our lives over to gamble and it would be a panacea to stop gambling

So far the best way to quit gambling for good. So if you want to quit gambling for 'good' just seek for 'God' for He is the master of all universe. But the conflict will come out if the gambler is a believer or not. This is good if he is a believer but for those that aren't then they should look for some other ways like being busy for other things.
4824  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you know when to stop? on: January 10, 2017, 02:05:20 PM
That is normal, most of us just stop when we already lose everything and don't have nothing to bet for. And I guess if there is no need to play for fun, just stop also or you are just going to waste your money at it.

Some people stop when they have made profit although it is actually quite rare for someone to quit while he is ahead. The most important thing is not to stop but rather to be aware of your own bankroll, you dont want to lose everything in one game and move on to be a beggar for the rest of your life for sure

It is the right time to stop gambling when we already have some good profit. Because if you are not going to quit for having good amount of profit already then it is just going to be returned to the house again and there are also chances that everything you have will lose too. Just stop already if you think that gambling is not good for your life.

I think would be very difficult to win some profits by gambling, if you can gamble for fun and know when to stop, you will not suffer huge losses.

The important thing in gambling is to keep it in the "fun" limits - play with the faucet, tips for players and never get greedy. But the problem is people get jealous of other people winning big amounts and frustrated when they start losing.

Again there is the greed of winning jackpots - this is dangerous as the addiction and losses associated with it come from these negative feelings.

All this forces the player to play more and more and they end up losing everything.

That's the key of success in gambling, just don't be too greedy and you will be fine. But since greediness is one of the human nature we just need to control ourselves and understand that everyone are going to lose in the long run. Especially if we are already earning too good amount and we win games, just secure those profit already.
For human greed you are right. People when find that they are able to win some of the bets then they do not leave and try every chance to see their luck and in that situation they start to lose all of which he own and which he have won while playing.

That's true and proven as long as we can see small chance of winning, we are going to keep on gambling. They just don't realize that everyone that gambles is destined to lose in the end, no matter how long you have been playing gambling and experienced a gambler is. The fact is that we can't avoid losing whatever amount we will start with it.
4826  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your gambling strategy on: January 10, 2017, 01:17:02 PM
My gambling strategy in Hocky games is that i pick couple of top teams or weaker one and bet on the top teams to win and on the weaker one to lose and i chose NHL because odds in those games always high and if lost the bet i bet on the same team for the next game with doubling the amount sometimes jusrtthe same amount depends on their situation and opponent's.

I honestly do not even have a strategy because of the fact its not needed at all, with gambling its based on luck and not on a strategy in my eyes.

It is needed especially if you are not playing those luck-based games. Because there are games that are not truly basing on our luck like sports betting and poker. But if you are thinking that way, then you can just play poker anytime you want without thinking of any strategy and as well as playing sports betting without doing some background research for teams involved for a match.

In my thinking luck and strategy both are depend on our winning. But we can sacrifice with strategy, but we can't ignore Luck. I accept many games are here where we need skills and strategy especially in sports, but also many games are here where we no need skill or strategy like dice type game, So we can left one thing between luck and strategy, so that is strategy, we mustily should accept luck is main point to winning in gambling.

Yes we can't set aside luck as it is always important because most of us are just depending with luck. But luck is just going to be nothing if we don't have any strategy that we are going to think of. Luck is in us and on how we are going to do the efforts as we gamble. As long as you are gambling properly and you know what you are doing, that's good.

Gambling is very addicting because of the fact that its very enjoying and you can do a lot of things too with gambling, its very nice to do it plus its sometimes profitable.

True, we are enjoying on how gambling really works and even you are not that going to focus with profits in gambling. But if you are lucky enough then you have a chance of earning some good amount. And that is what a gambler keeps on gambling again and again when he tries to win some amount whether it is big or small.

What makes a gambler gamble again and again is his pocket, if he has enough money he would never gamble actually .. its just the greed that leads to gambling and even wrong activities.

No, even a gambler doesn't have enough money in his pocket anymore. Still he is going to do a lot of ways to make himself satisfied and keep on gambling. So I don't think that a gambler gambles again is his pocket. As long as gambling is allowing its gambler to win some money, that is going to make all the people addicted in it.

Golden State Warriors Vs Sacramento Kings

I have a shock when I watched Warriors surrendering a 24 point lead against the Grizzlies at home. Warriors never lost two games in a row so I am quite certain that they will win this game.
Kings offense depends on Cousins while Warriors have a few key players to score points. I am going for Warriors -11 as Kings aren't as good as the Grizzlies to overturn any deficit.

Yeah they will not allow Kings to make their standing ruined by losing against their team. And with this game, the advantage will be with Kings.

But that doesn't matter because I'm pretty sure that the Dub Nation is hungry for their win and this game will make a revenge game.

And that's why I'll go for GSW for this game too.
The warriors can win and it will most likely to happen, however with the line of -11 makes me a little bit skeptical to take it. I believe this team is already exposed and the Kings are playing at home which are hungry for a win due to two straight loses at home.

If you see their previous 10 games match up, the warriors dominated the king with 10-0 record but the line does not convince me so much. Having said that, I'll go with the King +11, and a little bit for ML.

I'll go with Kings also if it is with +11 but if that is just a normal game without those handicap/odds. Since I'm always having a bet game with my colleague in my work, so I'll go for Golden State Warriors. We are not setting some rules every time we met and bet for a match. I'll go for $100 for this game because the advantage is always with me, he let's me choose my betting team.  Grin
What advantage you have is only the home court, but in terms of talent, the warriors has all that, there's a reason why they are called a super team.  I think the safer play would be betting on the Warriors Moneyline, you get small winning but at least your a little bit safer on that bet.

I told that I'll go with Kings with the +11 not with the home court advantage. Maybe sometimes I'm preferring the team who has home court advantage but not with this time. But with my situation, of course talents and with good players are key to win a match. And I can see that with Golden State Warriors for this game.

So if you go with Kings with that +11 probably you are not going  to lose or win either because the ended 117 GSW vs. 106 Kings.

And if you bet with your colleague, then you surely won $100 already. Golden state is always a good choice, their winning ratio and game play is really good for gambling.

Oh yea, $100 is sweet as cotton candy it's funny seeing his face giving me the money equivalent to that amount. And I knew it that Golden State Warriors will win that game either because of they play style and even Kings lose still they played did very well to face GSW. And now we are looking for this game, Pelicans vs Knicks. Any fast thoughts?
Well knicks will be a good one to pick mate as we knew that this team always surprise us i always place my bet with them feom time to time just wants to see melo and rose to play their role to win this game. Good luck

Hmmm, looking upon their standings they are both on the same #11 spot. Since Melo and Rose are good players and has been performing well for this season and as well as from past seasons. But players of Pelicans are also tough enough to face Knicks' Melo and Rose. They have their Davis and other of their key players like Frazier.

I am just wondering if you still would gamble if you would have enough money? I mean, now as it is, do you gamble for the fun or for the profit?

I am on that situation I can't promise that I won't gamble even just for a single time. Since I will not going to think about the money that I am going to gamble, so basically I will just going to gamble to have fun and to have sometime for myself. But I won't really going to focus with it anymore because if I have that plenty of money, I'll focus more with investments.

if people are hook with gamblings already i believe that they will surely gamble, they doesn't problem the money since they have a lot of it, and surely they will spend lots of $ just to satisfy their craves for it and plays like theirs no tommorrow, people cannot promise to avoid but if temptation will be there surely some of them will gonna bite since they doesn't have a problem for their capital.

That is applicable for those addicted gamblers and it is a certain thing that they are going to keep on gambling, since most of the gamblers are thinking on the amount that they will use to sustain their gambling activity. And I just hope that I will not come to the point that I am going to be tempted, just like what you have said because it is hard to avoid especially when you have plenty of money.

Hi guys!
Many casinos have mobile friendly GUI and nowadays you can gamble and place your bets literally from anywhere and anytime you want to. So my question is simple. Where and when do you usually gamle? Do you ever gamble at work or your home? Is there any specific part of the day (week) when do you gamble?? Why? Do you think there is some ideal place and time?
Feel free to discuss and let us know Smiley)

To be honest, I gambled at work and that is through dice, if I can remember I did that with yobit's dice game. But as of now, I want to be safe with using my office computer because someone caught me about that. And I stopped gambling at work, so basically I'm gambling now at home after working for the whole day and just with my laptop. I don't use my phone in gambling.

Maybe not gambling is considered a sickness, but the gambling habits that wrong can become sickness. I think if someone gamble is still in control and do not harm yourself and other people that are still in a normal level. But if people are addicted and losing control in gambling so playing outside the limits it could become sickness. So I think that could be made become sickness is wrong habits.

Yes, the addiction in gambling is what we need to considered as a severe sickness. It cannot be treated easily because addiction in gambling is one of the problem of many people where they are actually not just harming themselves but it can affect their family if their addiction comes to the point where that gambler is really unstoppable.

Its is considered a sickness if the man who gambles for more times is getting addicted to it and he has no control of it. Having no control of gambling will be compared to sickness because there is psychological involved with it which links to a persons character and well being. Being with this kind of sickness should undergo a self rehabilitation and counceiling by those who really understand this kind of situation.

If the gambler is just severe just like what I said, I guess counseling him immediately will help him to figure out that his gambling addiction is not helpful anyway. He needs to realize that his addiction will result to his big mistake that he can ever do with his entire life. Life coaching him will be also a good thing to help him cure his sickness which is addiction.
4839  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can trading be considered as gambling?? on: January 07, 2017, 11:04:28 AM
its one's decision if they believe trading as gambling but for me it is gambling because you are risking your money to lose and you can also earn which is gambling but you can not earn fast on trading unlike gambling.

The only thing that trading can be considered as gambling is just because it has a risk. But both of them is truly hard to have good profit with it even though in gambling you can have fast money but sometimes a gambler is not that contented on the profit that he made, he will just keep on gambling and that's the reason why he is going to lose. While there are some good traders who are making good profit because of their patience.
Trading and gambling is far different. They have same features in common but that's not means that they are the same. Gambling is just a game that gaves entertainment with a involvement of money while is just buting a commodity or currencies for a small price and just sell it for high price just like what happened on a normal market scenario. Market is not a gambling place. And trading occurs in the market, so that means trading is not a gamblling.

People just have different perspective/views that's why some consider it is gambling. This thread is never ending story obviously.  Grin

It is near to be the same just like what have said when it comes to risk. And since trading is also a type of investment most of the people when dealing with investments are gambling their money. So for me, both gambling and trading is good to consider as almost the same type of activity even though yeah we do have our different point of views regarding this.
