5061  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What Triggers Gambling Addiction on: January 17, 2019, 05:08:43 PM
"Sometimes winning isnt good at all". This is the phrase i always got in my mind whenever i saw someone or read something that pertains to gambling addiction. I see that people are so greedy and do anything to win. My observation is that, people experience winning ofcourse in gambling so they take many chances and risk bets to win again. Either the win rate is just 2 to 3 times per 15 bets, they are still getting hooked on it. Winning even once triggers addiction because people are greedy in nature. There are just people who can control themselves and there are not.
Thats the mysterious thing on gambling why many people got to become addicted,i dont know why is this happening that every person whos new in gambling comes to win first then after several winnings then the nightmare will come because it looks like the gambling will suddenly claim the money you have won and then continuously get all your money while you are starting to become addicted.this makes me think that gambling is a gift of demon for us people and if you are weak then you will turn as victim

For a new person who comes first time in gambling, he can only be addicted if he won his first few bets and games and earn quick money. But let suppose anyone new to gamble and lost a high amount of money in his first few games ,will actually hate gambling and may not return to it.

theres no difference no matter what year you are because god cant still help you won  in a gambling game  . god can help you on other more legal things but he also knows that gambling is not so good because involves money which can also result for greed and addiction  .  almost all of us including me are always praying before we start a game because we want to earn so badly but unfortunately god didnt answer our prayers .
God will not interfere with anything that illegal lol. but you're right that any year won't affect the luck you have. could it be that even last year you were more lucky than this year? luck got randomly. does not depend on the year
Yes, lucky does depend on years cause it goes randomly and ones strives, determination and planned will bring it on ones way which is why some people don't believe much in luck.
With that been said, God does interfere with gambling cause he's the judge of everything.


The percentage of winning will definitely hire in this field but keeping them stable and holding them with our hand is very tough job when coming to gambling people will get profit in the starting stage but at the end they don't have the prophet in their hands because of they have lots of inexperience in this field this will be the main reason for losses


Yes, The biggest mistake which people make in gambling is that they do not hold the profits they gain in gambling and put all the seed money plus profit again and again in playing. Once you do this, you will lose everything because no one can win all the time in gambling.
5063  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling strategies (beliefs) on: January 15, 2019, 05:28:12 AM
Trying different games and hope to see some game working for me. Wink I never had belief that I can make lot of money from gambling but if I deserve that then I will be winning those amount someday.
Everyone deserves to make a lot of money and win with gambling but the real question starts with what you believe.

No application and no act means no result so if you will never gamble, you'll never have that belief to happen to you.

not all are deserving because not all are skillful and lucky when it comes to gambling  .  and like you mentioned above , some are scared to try what they've got so thier blessings will still be useless if they wont apply it in gambling or any other money making activities  .  not only gambling but any other things has a belief that people believe but most of them are elders or adults  . while teens and millienials dont easily believe on those nonesense  .
It's just base on my opinion that everyone deserves that but as long as they will never try and not willing to attest gambling on their own, they will not get the thing that they deserve.

Everyone has his own unique way of showing on how skillful they are and some are just really don't get it right and can't apply it correctly. But as for the strategies, we also have it but not at all times it works.

Gambling strategies may not work here as gambling is not won on the basis of strategies  but on the basis of luck and there is no thing in the world  which can change your fate and luck. However if you have firm belief in yourself, you can come to gambling and pray to god that he give you good luck to win all the games.
5064  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How gambling sites can cheat you on: January 15, 2019, 05:23:32 AM
How? Lol basically they have control over whatever's in their site. You balances, your account information, the games that you play, name it they have access to do anything they want as long as you're in their platform.



Well, any gambling site can cheat you whether it be withdrawal disable or whether it be algo  cheating at the back end. But this does not mean that every gambling site do this. Its only the new ones which are made solely for the purpose of cheating people.
To be on safe side, we should always gamble on old trusted site and do not go for new sites unless there are enough trust rating for them.
5065  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Good news for those who love Bitcoin on: January 13, 2019, 06:35:09 AM
hmm i think the good news will give us the good things about bitcoin, maybe about the popularity or about the price of bticoin, and i hope it will give the big changes for us and i hope that bitcoin will have a big changes because of any good news that available in the public

Everyone is waiting for the good news for bitcoins. The fact is that bitcoin prices moves up and down with good or bad news. If the sentiments and hearings are good and positive, only then it will a time for another bull run for bitcoin.
5066  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who Are Selling off Their Crypto on: January 13, 2019, 06:28:22 AM
im staying out of the market right now, feels like it will go like 50% more down before we turn to the upside again hope im wrong becuse i realy want it to go back up again. still hold alot of coins but im not buying more right now been trying to buy at the bottom for the whole year , but it keeps on moving down all the time.

The Market is too much risky now and getting in now can be risky for short term traders. If you want to enter for long term and have the tendency to hold the coins, then its no risk and that's good time to buy. Even if prices go down a bit more, they will recover very soon.
5067  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: US or China: Who do you think will legalize bitcoin first? on: January 12, 2019, 04:10:57 PM
None, because both countries think's that bitcoin will affect the circulation of their currency.

Thats not true .  if we look them closely we can easily tell that china is more strict compare to u.s thats why u.s will first legalize bitcoin  and infact bitcoin is already legal in the u.s because u.s is the first country that discovered crypto ( if im not mistaken )  because satoshi is also from the u.s .China in a nutshell is already restricting cryptos before but i dont know if they are now allowing it today since its been two years after they announce the banning  .

Do not consider the current market situation and who is doing what in terms of crypto currencies.  Once the crypto is more popular both china and US will be bound to legalize it. All the current bans and regulations will be removed as there  will be no option left but to accept bitcoin if they want to survive the financial market.
5068  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Cannot Die. It is Impossible. Under Any Circumstances. on: January 12, 2019, 03:57:06 PM
Why die?
Weak crypto will definitely die but the strong will live longer in crypto space.
Bitcoin is the original coin ever that will stays forever as long as cryptosystem is alive.


These days there are many coins which are made for the purpose of gaining money and have no real use or purpose. All those shit coins has no future and they will die soon. Good coins in which bitcoin is the king, will never be ended and they have a very good future ahead.
5069  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: To save bitcoin - stop buying bitcoin cash on: January 12, 2019, 03:40:16 PM
Bitcoin cash has virtually ended and we have two new coins... Bitcoin ABC and Bitcoin SV. Both are fighting for the mining power, and both coins have no real use. They are manipulated by the whales that's why we see so much pump and dump in them. I would suggest to boycott BCH, as it is not good for the digital currencies stability.
5070  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Want to quit? Here's how on: January 12, 2019, 09:01:21 AM
Arrest the addiction.

That's how you quit.
Pure and simple.


Yes, it's simple, but it's hard to do because the addiction is not just to talk about the addicted itself, but it also needs to know what the method to solve the problem. And once the right method can apply, I am sure the addiction will be cured. But it needs a big effort to stay patient while we are trying to solve the problem and we need more support from other people.
Arrest those addict?
I don't understand this one, because addiction is not a crime its a battle between you and your emotion. If you're addict in gambling, you cannot stop that easily you have to undergo with the process, and that process will take more time. Its good if there is someone who can work with you, and help you to be better again, patient is the key of course but try to put big effort on that.


Gambling is not the crime so we cannot be arrested on the basis that we are addicted to it. Yes, there are places in the world where gambling is considered as a sin, only in those places anyone can be arrested on gambling.
Quiting gambling is not easy as it depends upon one will and noone else can do it except ourself.
5071  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I LOST OVER 10 BTC IN GAMBLING IN 2018 on: January 12, 2019, 07:40:58 AM
Well at least you still alive and able to tell the story , it means that you still able to control yourself and want to sharing to others.
Every people want to win in gambling but remember this, gambling on crypto provide greater risk than ordinary gambling because you're gambling and investing at the same time !
Most of those who lose big amounts are prone to suicide, so we are glad that you was able to survive since it looks like you are already overcome that loses. Big amounts in gambling is too risky, and maybe the OP afford that money to lose but still its a lot. I hope you learn from this mistakes, and don’t ever play again with this too much money.
Yeah, many gamblers get depressed when they lose big amount, you can hear a lot of this on the news. The OP looks like a rich guy since he own so many bitcoin that can afford to lose for. If someone here who still playing and hoping to win big money, should see this post and learn from this experience, there is no way in gambling to win big money without spending more aside from the word Luck.
Rich with 10 BTC that he has without any evidence. Everyone can imagine what he wants, and also you can write a thread like that and say to everyone yoh lost 100 BTC when gambling, I'm sure there will be some people who trust you. However, gambling can bankrupt you in one night, especially when you are gambling online so the risk of spending money in your wallet is wide open. It's just that you can manage it well, use your common sense when gambling in order to win in such a way and get up from your seat when you get a loss, there are only a few ways to minimize you to avoid bankruptcy.
We cannot confirm that OP has really loss that big amount of money in gambling but this is common in crypto, maybe not happening to him but others surely have that experience or even bigger than this. Actually we cannot say that it's a big amount it's depending on the players capability, for me, I think that is big enough but for others it's just a small amount and they can afford to lose that money.

Actually it is a big amount as 10 Bitcoins right now are 37.000 dollars and that cannot be considered a low amount. I know that when you compare this amount with amount which whales play which can be ten times higher this amount looks like small but it is not. In poor countries you can buy a big house with 37.000 dollars which is a better way to spend this money compared to gambling.
You are right but every individual has different mindset, if you are practical enough you will spend that money on your needs than risk it hoping you will win. Regret always happens in the end, but gamblers who are risk takers can also be rewarded big time but unfortunately, the rate of success is very low.

Well, bitcoin gamblers should be ready for the big risks. Gambling is not a safe game and those who gamble are already aware of it. Since big risk is equal to big reward, you could have won 10 BTC instead if your luck was good, but unfortunately this was not the case.

Now, if you are a serious gambler and you have good money, there is no thing to keep of thinking about the loss. Just forget it and play gambling with a new mind.
5072  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does this look like a fun way to gamble? Similar to etheroll on: January 12, 2019, 07:28:52 AM
I love gaming initiatives using blockchain.
What I believe is a problem are the miners fees, which you need to pay for everything.

And yes, it looks like a nice way to gamble

I think if other currencies are introduced in gambling along with bitcoin, it will really help the cause and miner fee will be very limited as one can have option to chose any coin to gamble.
On the OP Video, this look really interesting one  Tongue
5073  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling strategies (beliefs) on: January 12, 2019, 07:18:13 AM
I just bring money that I can afford to lose, specially if I'm going out with my friends to a land based casino and just enjoy and have some fun. Everything boils down on your luck, so if you get lucky then good for you. No strategies whatsoever will chance the outcome or the result.

Going to gambling casino with friend should be for fun only and if you win it should be considered as a bonus. The good thing about gambling is that no one need experience to win in gambling and therefore all your friends have equal chances of wining or losing. Go to casino with calculated money and enjoy with it is the best option for u.
5074  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is playing casino games online a good idea? on: January 12, 2019, 07:07:57 AM
Very few gamblers now are actually gambling for fun. I can say that I'm gambling for fun and spends few satoshi's that I want but there are times that I'm losing my control and just crave to gamble for bigger amount.

Playing/gambling online can be the cure to those people that are going through a depression and anxiety. It's a good idea for them but if not moderated, monitored and controlled it will result to a very bad ending.

Gambling Playing only for fun cannot last long term because once you lose the money, you will have to invest more money in gambling if you want to continue. So it is not possible for anyone to keep on playing for fun and losing money. The only exception is that if you have a lot of extra money and losing money is no value to you, then its possible to keep on gambling for fun only.
5075  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Asian Football Cup 2019 Discussion Thread on: January 12, 2019, 05:44:35 AM
We only have one team in that sport and is supported by all of my people. Im glad you posted this thread and i will just look for an update here rather to watch TV. The truth is, i dont have enough time to watch a game because of a strict time management. Its so hard to work, crypto and having business at the same time.

I am looking forward to this tournament as I have always been a fan of football. If you are also willing to follow the game and do not have time because of other busy tasks, try to get the scores on internet, though it is not entertaining to see only scores as watching the match itself.
5076  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcoin betting on: January 12, 2019, 05:34:51 AM
Nitrogen sports used to be the most popular here. Now I guess Sportsbet.io has overtaken the race and is the most trusted now. Cloudbet was a bit shady in the past but got good reviews nowadays.

A problem with sportsbet.io is that their margins are unplayable. They have the highest hold of all sportsbooks. The other problem that they are having is with KYC.

Are you talking about KYC ? I don't think sportsbet need any kyc to place bets. Even many of my friends are using this site and have no problem. This site is getting better day by day.
5077  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Problem: Lost today $2000 on PrimeDice on: January 12, 2019, 04:31:13 AM
A life lesson with your lost from playing gambling, I hope you will not do a stupid actions to get into gambling and chase your loses.

Quote
Then i was planning to do the last bet and bet and I bet %70 on my $840 balance and lost everything. :/

I'm always caught up with this scenario, when I'm winning I'll make a last bet to make get more but suddenly it's a devastation. Yes, I feel you bro life sucks but don't end your life with a misery because of gambling.

Even though everyone suggest to be safe while gambling and do not invest all in one game but we do not listen until and unless we feel the same pain and loss. Experience is one thing which changes many people life's. You can guide people all life but they will not listen, but one bad experience will let them know that all those suggestions were right.
5078  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you still continue? on: January 12, 2019, 04:15:07 AM
Nope. Even though I am not an expert gambling or gambling addict, I will stop for a while and withdraw the rest of small amount from defeat in gambling. But when I was sure to gamble again, then I couldn't stop myself from gambling again.

What are you saying? If you are not a gambling addict, that is great.

I mean there are a lot of people that are addicted to gambling and they are wanting to make a distance to gambling as much as possible as they are not that kind of people that can afford losing on gambling. I am not addicted to gambling, and I am so lucky that I am not; I did fantasize winning a lot of money in gambling but it will not happen since I am not that fond of gambling all of my money since I know how will it go.


If you have control on your emotions and you can say stop to gambling, that is indeed very nice.  I have seen my friends who are so much addicted of gambling that any sort of loss will not stop them for doing gambling. They do not care if they win or loss, the only thing they like is to do gambling daily.


5079  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you remember your first sports bet? on: January 12, 2019, 03:55:28 AM
My first sportsbet happen in real life and not via online

I remember that it was superbowl fight between greenbay Packers and Denver Broncos in which we as group with my co workers in government
And that bring me losses coz we gamble for half of our monthly compensation,and the next betting happens here in crypto

I'm sure you are not the only one who gamble on sports in real life. I think before sports online betting exist, all sports lovers were gambling in real life against their friends, neighbors, etc or maybe there were some offline casinos for sports betting.
I did my first sports betting against my friends as well when I was on high school. It was Final Match of 1999's Champions League, not betting much money as I was still a student. Only around $2 if I remember it correctly, but of course $2 was a big amount for me at that time LOL.


I do not remember my first sports bet but it was nearly two years ago after I started using bitcoins. I was afraid to use credit card on sports betting site but bitcoin gave me opportunity to bet and I won my first bet on a scorer match.
5080  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I LOST OVER 10 BTC IN GAMBLING IN 2018 on: January 09, 2019, 04:25:10 PM
i want to know did you make profit in gambling or lost and i know 99% people lost their money in gambling Gambling is only for fun not a way to make money what you think Gamblers Wink Always Gamble what you afford to Lose Don't Give up LOL

That's a fortune you lost in gambling! There is a word called "stop loss" in the trading world. Where a trader judges his own risk taking capability and put a stop loss for each and every trade he executes. Same thing goes in gambling as well. The only difference is that, you can't put a stop loss through the system in gambling so the stop loss should be implemented through your own mind. I think that's where you are lacking!

Go for an mindset overhaul in 2019 and don't look back to 2018 and it will not refund you the money you lost. Instead become a more disciplined gambler in 2019. Try to know your risk taking capability and act accordingly. All the best!

Thank you! yeah i have to set some  targets and limits i hope i will recover my losses in 2019.disciplined gambler in 2019(well said)

That's the spirit which everyone including the loser should have that they will recover their loses in 2019. As far as stop loss  is concerned, people do not use it properly in trading where stoploss is actually available and in gambling there is no such thing called Stop loss.  You can only control your loss if you limit yourself going all in , in gambling.
