You need basic bankroll management. You should destinate as many funds as you can afford losing and then play accordingly to what your bankroll is. Also I like to always withdraw some winnings if there are to keep myself motivated.

Stop should not be an option if you respect your bankroll and stakes accordingly, variance can be negative or positive and always leaving with loses leave you break
Yes that's a good idea but I disagree with the cashout profits part because as soon as you cash your profits you get into safe zone where you would feel like you can burn the remaining money taking higher risks since you already secured some profit and cashed it.

I rather prefer to set a particular amount and if that is reached I would stop gambling and withdraw all the money, the capital and the profit.

Setting a particular amount is definitely a good idea but unless you have the self control to stick to it, its basically just a good idea. Plans need action especially with gambling and you have to know and believe that you can implement those plans

Yes it's possible. They can exchange to another crypto, buy crypto, and other transactions.
It make easy and fast if have bankless casino, and the player will happy of that solutions.

Aren't bitcoin casinos bankless? Well you have an option to involve your bank that it and even fiat casinos doesn't require any bank accounts though you use fiat money.
5123  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How many Bitcoins would it take for you to Quit Gambling Forever? on: January 03, 2018, 03:16:55 PM
For and addicted gambler, no amount of profit will stop them from gambling because they are addicts.

For reasonable people though this is not true and one might stop after winning a set amount of money. But there's no end of greediness.

In my case, I will stop after winning 10 BTC because I'll be too busy Driving my Porsche instead of Gambling^^

How many BTC it would take for you to quit gambling and why? Or, if any amount of BTC would make you quit gambling at all.



FOR me I’m guessing that one bitcoin can be enough for ke to stop as I am not and addicted gambler or a problem person when tncomes to playing and with that coin I can easily start a business sownwhere else and be auccessful in it

Lol it wouldn't take 1 btc to stop if you're not an addicted gambler.  1btc is pretty hard to achieve nowadays. There are a lot of things i can do with the money leading up to 1btc

I'll go with Cyborg even though she is very cocky but damned that girl is a monster she backed up every trash talk she inputs just like what Connor Mcgregor does. So if you are going to bet between she and Holmes go with cyborg the monster.

What the hell are you talking about? Did you know that the fight was already done. I'm sure that you didn't read and just comment here. Please go to youtube and see some highlights. Cyborg already won the fight and its one of the greatest fight that we have seen for the ladies division.

@bbc.reporter, yeah, probably Conor with fight Nate for the trilogy and will just wait for the winner of Khabib vs Ferguson.

Well hopefully mcgregor focuses on his mma career having been able to have a taste of how lucrative boxing fights could be. A trilogy with diaz and a win would silence those people who still doubt him
5125  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: losing 50 bitcoins gambling on: January 03, 2018, 03:07:52 PM
How would you feel if you lost 50 btc after gambling... https://nitrogensports.eu/betslip/92ff9f2dmRCeSttM0U0a1dPZ0tTSDd4OW4vZz09/r/2744 What's the biggest loss you've taken before, and do you have any good coping strategies? I do wonder if it's better or not to express anger or to just try and ignore it as best as possible. Personally I just get angry and yell some swears, but curious how other people react when losing and any tips on coping.

If I lost 50 butcoins now and considering that the value of it now is much higher than when it was posted then i would surely be broken and very down as the value of it means that I have betted that large amount and have lost it all in an instant

50 bitcoins is still 50 bitcoins, losing it is a really huge mess for someone, it would be a hard thing to get over with since bitcoin is the most expensive coin living in the cryptocurrency world. Thinking about the prices of it right now could make us cry if we are going to lose that 50 bitcoin, or even worse, we could even end our lives because of the depression of losing such amount of money.

Lol not to the point of committing suicide though since i don't think there ever will be a severe enough reason to commit suicide. But that would be regret to the extreme level and i'd probably be hating myself for a very long time.
5126  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I won $123 for few minutes on: January 03, 2018, 02:31:44 PM
Congrats and well played. You got lucky because the higher the number of times you play the bigger the risk to loose. You managed to win 6 straight times. Good job. But 123$ for 6 games is not a high profit. I won more money with two games on sports sites. I put 100$ on an odd that reached 2 only. I won 200$. I played twice that day and i made 200$ profits. It was a very good day for me. Congrats again. Keep up!
You are the man. Knowing that you have a lot more profit than the OP. Probably you are more experienced, especially when it comes to sports betting because that's what you said. I don't know if I understand you correctly but your profit in one bet is $100 saying that you bet a hundred in x2. So you won $200 but the profit is $100. Well you guys are awesome knowing that you won that amount.

You are really lucky, because its risky and not all people won. So congrats and hope that your luck may continue for the whole year. I would like to try to gamble to find my luck but still I can't afford to loose my hard earn money so better for me not to do it.

Well that's going to be a case of what goes around comes around if you're not careful. You can't keep winning all the tine so you have to know how to maximize the luck you're having for the moment
5127  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why people keep trying new casinos? on: January 03, 2018, 02:27:37 PM
A lot of threads in gambling section are basically dedicated to scam accusations. They can be seen every day on the first page. The casinos about which people complain are usually new or known to be scamming people (one can easily check out the trust of members leading the respective ann threads to be assured in that). I don't understand why people deposit money onto new casinos and then complain that they scammed these people. I mean, there are lots of very trusted casinos offering a wide range of games, so why not to keep playing at them rather than some unknown risky ones?

Well one thing with casino sites is that they put premium in pormotions. Discounted rates, free tokens and free rolls, new gimmicks here and there to try and lure gamblers. And curiosity is one trait that mkst gamblers have so it can't be helped especially if you're losing on a certain site
5128  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Frustrations: Losing Streak on: January 03, 2018, 02:24:00 PM
I know that every one of us had this day when we all thought that it's our day but it's not. I myself honestly say that there are still times that I lose control of everything when this happens, I tend to get frustrated immediately (especially when it comes to poker) when I know that I have a losing card. It makes my day from bad to worst. How do you handle your frustrations when losing streak strikes?

Though before I've reached a point in where I'll be having a thought of chasing my loses, I'll leave the table and look for a dessert or sometimes when I bring my car, there's a clothing that I can rip just to let my frustrations out. (It may sound absurd but it really works for me, after that my mind is clear, no frustrations then I'll go back and finish my visit)

I simply get away from all of it. Being on a losing streak definitelg affects you emotionally and it also affects your rational thinking. Instead of thinkibg straight and arriving at a logical decision, you become obsessed with recovering. So just leave it for a while and clear your mind
5129  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can maths help you win in gambling ? on: January 03, 2018, 02:19:10 PM
Yes maybe.. but math cant make you a millioner in playing in casino games. Match can give you probably an advantage because i think if you are good in math you are good in analyzing and calculating. There are casino games that needs anaylsis and study the move of you opponent bu this doesnt mean you are a sure ball will win all the gambling games. It takes skills and a bunch of luck to win all the time.
Apply your skills on in games where there is no house edge like skilled based games, know your game and focus on it so overtime you will be able to develop your skills, maybe if you love what you are doing you can make it as your passion. One of the games that I can recommend is sports betting, if you are good in analyzing then you have a greater chance of winning.

Gambling is seldomly about skill in analyzing or calculations. Though of course you have an advantage in having control over your spendings but when it comes to the game itself, it can be a waste of time to tontry to analyze how to win
5130  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: In Gambling, Money is not everything on: January 03, 2018, 02:14:28 PM
What is the prime motto for your gambling.
Many people here are against considering gambling as a earning source. Without money, you will not be able to gamble.
Just for fun type of gamblers, only a demo account or a video game is more than enough.

Please share your ideas on role of money in gambling.

The role of money is too broader than what you are think for. Since you had given the scenario that without money, you will not be able to gamble. Stated that money  should rule everything inside the gambling term. Money can also  a one thing needed to live. Without money you cant buy food to live. But too much money is bad and it can also become a root of all evil.

Maybe what OP's trying to say is that not all of the gamblers are seeking profits when they are playing gambling, sometimes it is all about entertainment, and just a pastime, but most of the players are playing gambling for profits, so it is very uncommon to gamble for fun or entertainment.

I don't think its that uncommon. A lot of people gamble for entertainment, experience, to pass time. I agree that its not all about the money but definitelt you have to have money to enjoy gambling
5131  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Should kids be treated as young adults or like children? on: January 02, 2018, 01:48:26 PM
Well it won't hurt to treat children as young adults to teach them about responsibility and being independent. Though of course, we shouldn't forget that they're still kids and children needs to play, study and do kids stuff
5132  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Whom do you think has more right over the South China Sea? on: January 02, 2018, 01:41:11 PM
the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea — only goes so far in determining who's right. China says it has sovereignty over virtually all South China Sea islands and their adjacent waters.


It doesn't take an intelligent person to see that china is overextending their claim of sea sovereignity. The south china sea is vast and there are economic zones depending on which country covers the closest part to them. China knows that its neighbors can't match up to them militarily so it bullies smaller countries in that region
5133  Other / Off-topic / Re: What Are Your Thoughts On Vegans? Or Going Vegan ? on: January 02, 2018, 01:37:44 PM
I'm fine with eating meats , i don't love vegetables that much.

You can't survive for long being a pure carnivore. Humans are basically omnivores, and that means that you need to take at least some amount of cereals, fruits, vegetables and dairy products. It doesn't matter whether you love vegetables or not. If you don't want to take them, then you need to get the nutrients from some other source.

Right. There will be health repercussions if you only have meat on your diet. Even from prehistoric times, people then, with their level of intelligence, understand that vegetables and fruits are essential in their diets.
5134  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Rape on: January 02, 2018, 01:34:55 PM
In a world where ladies appear naked thinking that they are putting on clothes. In a world where women do things that arouses the Men. In a world where parents encourage their children to wear skimpy dresses. What world are we living in?

Should rapists be sent to jail or not?

They should definitely be. Imagine way back, girls only wear grass skirts and I'm quite positive that rape was still not tolerated back then. So, I find it hard to agree that due to mini skirts these days, rape can be tolerated. I really don't think so.

I can't believe you even asked. Rape is rape. So what if women wear what they wear. There's no reason to justify rape. Rapists need to be given the highest form of punishment because this is one crime that is unacceptable.
5135  Other / Politics & Society / Re: War on: January 02, 2018, 01:30:35 PM
What can we do to stop the unjustified war going on in some countries?
I will raise awareness on the effect of war to people, to properties and to nations. I will start it in social media because it has a large audience. I'm gonna make some videos and article about the bad effects of war and how should we avoid it.

People i guess are aware of what war is and what it entails for all parties concerned. Its the leaders' pride that leads them to send young people, who can do so much in peace time, to foreign lands to fight for them. If leaders are the ones fighting themselves i think war would be less likely to happen
5136  Other / Off-topic / Re: Does Aliens exist? on: January 02, 2018, 01:27:47 PM
Not sure, My personal belief is that there is very compelling evidence that we may not be alone. For sure life exists on other planets too. Scientists have proved life on Mars planet as well.

I've recently watched a clip from facebook showing the size comparisons of planets, moons, stars, and galaxies. It's waaay too big out there and earth is too insignificant to even consider. I find it very hard to believe that there are no other life out there.
5137  Other / Politics & Society / Re: what is the definition of success? on: January 02, 2018, 01:24:19 PM
Many of us thinks that having lots of money and having lots of properties makes you a successful person. But it is not.. Being successful is being contented and happy with what you have in your life. Being at peace in your own life without regrets or envy feelings to others.

I think it varies for everyone. Some considers being rich as success, some consider being promoted, or marrying the love of your life and having a family. We all have different goals in life and once we reach that goal, that's success
5138  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Working Abroad is a lot of sacrifice. on: January 02, 2018, 01:22:32 PM
Yes it is a sacrifice. My husband is working abroad and I know his sacrifices. It is hard for him to go and work abroad but he have to for us. He wants a good future for our daughter. The salary that he can earn abroad is much higher than staying and working here. That is why as his wife I am making sure that I am spending his money wisely.

Well imagine all the special occassions for you and your daughter that your husband is going to miss so he can earn money. Its rrally admirable the way people can pass up on such occassions for the sake of making a good future for their families. Its hard for them that's for sure
5139  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Online Dating on: January 02, 2018, 01:15:53 PM
Online dating?  Well I'm in favor of online dating.  If we do have spare time we can easily do this kind of activity. But take note don't put all your trust to the person you are dating with be cautious.  

Its something that a lot of people are doing right now. Just remember to always be cautious because this platform for datinf opens you up to people who are taking advantage of this technology. Its fun, definitely but you also have to consider the dangers it present
5140  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Is Global Warming Real? on: January 02, 2018, 01:14:00 PM
Yes,global warming is very real and we are already experiencing it not only in our country but most of the country especially in africa.

Africa, asia, america, the signs are everywhere. Obviously its real. Thr problem is that too many powerful people don't seem to feel its effects or are just turning a blind eye for the sake of their personal gains
