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.


5402  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.
5403  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.
5404  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you still continue? on: January 09, 2019, 04:13:05 PM
What will you do if after losing several times in gambling, you are left with only small amount of money and that money will be for your fuel or for transportation, will you still continue with the little you are left with? What if you lose?

I’m quite good at knowing when to stop especially if I’m getting my ass kicked by a casino. It’s always good to know where your get out point. It’s dumb to keep going until you lose everything.

I am sure all of us need to learn from you about knowing the time to stop in gambling because many of us are difficult to stop the game especially if when we could win in many times and it just attracts the greediness to possess us. But if I am in that situations, I will get out from the gambling places and go to the gas station to buy the gas so I can go home without losing the money in the gambling places.
If one can understand that after winnig, there is no need to risk again and/or play another game, then most of the people will be successfu in gambling. The greedniess of winning it all in a day is where the things started to go wrong and people just end up losing everything. This thinking needs to be changed.
5405  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is playing casino games online a good idea? on: January 09, 2019, 04:02:09 PM
For me playing on a online casino has a positive and a negative sides , For example. Me myself , I play on a real casino because I have a lot of friends playing. One of the negative sides is I cant play with my friends socially but when they are not on on playing I play online and that is for me the positive side. There are more positive and negative sides it is just depending on yourself on how you see it.

Those who do not want to disclose themselves to the outside world that they are involved in gambling, will surely prefer online gambling where there is no need to disclose real identity. This is also useful for those people who are living in the places where people think gambling is a sin and they do not like the people who are playing gambling. So online gambling makes it easy for person to do gambling and yet no one knows it.
5406  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Nobody wins in gambling anyway on: January 09, 2019, 03:55:19 PM
Not true my friend, I know a lot of gamblers who actually took the advantage of gaining extra profit just by gambling, it is facts and its just the matter of putting luck in the games that you play, it is hard and once you get addicted to it you cannot stop until you had no more money, but I don't think that all gamblers will lose, some gamblers find this just a source of entertainment but for some gamblers they  need to make profit and have set their goals over the casino.

It depends upon person to person. Some people win and earn good in gambling while other just lose their money. Everyone come to play gambling but not everyone can win. If everyone starting wining, then how will the casino will earn ?  So, its everyone luck on how they go about this and Win or lose.
5407  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can ETF Decision make a negative impact? on: January 07, 2019, 05:18:29 PM
If we think about the price, then it will surely help to increase the price of Bitcoin and maybe also other altcoins will grow.
But it will bring more big investors, more whales to the market and market will become more centralized, I think.


ETF Decision will surely be accepted in the market as a good news and it will act as a fuel to pump the price as everyone wants ETF to be approved. I hope this time ETF is not delayed again, as it has been in the recent past where ETF Decision has been delayed twice last year.
5408  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: You can SHOP at Amazon and eBay with BITCOIN on: January 05, 2019, 10:49:50 AM
Greetings earthlings Smiley

Probably you will agree that the year 2018 for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies was not the most successful year.
There are a lot of different reasons for this and from the main ones is that bitcoin and cryptocurrency did not advance to the masses and not used in the everyday life of people.
But everything can change in 2019.
Imagine how convenient it would be if you could make purchases at Amazon and eBay with Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.
Now we have this opportunity!

Bitstore.tech - First crypto shopping platform

For more better support bitstore.tech has an official discord server https://discord.gg/tNfBEDN
Feel free to leave your suggestions and feedback Smiley

You will find many small stores like bitstore on the internet which will accept bitcoin as a payment method but this does not mean that amazon will start accepting bitcoins too. Amazons and ebay are very big stores and they will only accept bitcoin once they know is value is stable. Unstable bitcoin value is always risky for both the buyer and the seller.
5409  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why So Bloody Hard to Buy Crypto? on: January 05, 2019, 10:28:52 AM
There are issues of some people having fiat and wanted to buy Cryptos while its becoming difficult and cumbersome to buy them with fiat even if possible the amount is huge in most cases which result to lack of interest by a buyer this are issues that needed solutions so as bring in more investors into Cryptos.

I think it is not difficult to buy bitcoin and crypto with fiat money in general, but in some places where government had ban bitcoins, it is very hard to buy bitcoins legally. There are few methods like one to one buying and not involving banks but still it is not legal. So that's why New people hesitant to come in bitcoin in those places as they think they are working with illegal currency.
5410  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it Game Over for Bitcoin? on: January 04, 2019, 05:33:51 PM
As long as there is crypto, I am very sure that Bitcoin will always be there and need each other. it is very difficult that bitcoin will disappear from circulation or disappear

bitcoin is the base of all crypto and if ever bitcoin collapse , for sure there will no be cryptos that will stay alive  but atleast the bockchain technology is already there and cannot be erased anymore  . people can still create a replacement for cryptos as long as bitcoin's game will be over  .  do you get my point  ? so cheer up mate   .
It is not yet game over for bitcoin , it just a matter of adjustment in the market ,that it is in lower price value ,but I do not believe that it will last for a very long time, in a matter of  time it will recover sooner and be  alive in the market, but it will not be over as other predicts or say.

How many times do we see comments like this that Bitcoin is over / Bitcoin has ended ? But bitcoin never ends and also it comes up more strongly. I have been in crypto for last 2 years and I have seen many ups and downs of it.  One thing is for sure that no matter how low bitcoin goes and how much longer the bearish market stays, bitcoin will always recover.
5411  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: WHY ARE PEOPLE STILL CONDEMNING BITCOINS on: January 04, 2019, 05:20:09 PM
Thast why is natural when traders focus on price changes that are on the market, but the point is people who cannot control themselves, people who use too much capital without the right management, of course when prices break, they can only condemning and panic..
It's a common mistake for newbie, they are here to make quick money but when they experience the opposite, they easily give up.
They will learn the hard way, believe me, and they will come back strong if they will understand their mistakes.

People will always condemn bitcoin whenever the bitcoin price will fall.  People will fud that bitcoin is scam and bitcoin will be zero, whenever they see bitcoin getting dumped.  These are those people who are not the real investors of bitcoins and are here only to make quick profits from bitcoins.
5412  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can ETF Decision make a negative impact? on: January 04, 2019, 04:58:06 PM
Yes this can influence investors decision making as this is a talk of legality about bitcoin or cryptocurrency. If bitcoin will not be adapted by the government then for sure it could no longer work on for good and people will dump bitcoin anyway because it has no real value and only users or people can dictate the certain market price of bitcoin with their demand and the supply of bitcoin or any of the crypto.


ETF Decision will make a big impact on bitcoin adaption and price. It will determine the future of bitcoin and digital currencies. People are waiting for the ETF decision from last six months and everyone is believing that ETF positive news will result in more adaption and it will increase more volume of bitcoin.
5413  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Using bitcoin without internet on: January 04, 2019, 04:08:51 PM
Have new way to use bitcoin as transaction or open bitcoin wallet without use internet? I think if have way we can open bitcoin without use internet is the best and good ideas for the future.

Having a satellite as a backup , in case internet is not available is a great idea. This would mean that places where there is no internet or in case of internet disruption, the bitcoin transactions will not stop or halt as we will always have satellite as a backup medium.

Due to such discoveries in the technology, I think bitcoin will soon be more popular and will be more widely used considering the fact when we are sure that bitcoin can never be down.
5414  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto faster & cheaper? on: January 04, 2019, 03:30:39 PM
YES! and i think it has less to none transaction fees. Smiley

Crypto is faster but it has a tx fee. Bitcoin Tx fee is low but if you need to do many transactions, then this tx fee combine might be a good one . If we compare it with the cost of sending money from one place to another ( Country to Country), then the cost of bitcoin transfer is very less.
Even services like western union and Paypal charge too much and when it comes to digital currency, it is almost free of cost.
5415  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: God of winning be with all the gamblers in 2019. on: January 04, 2019, 03:18:26 PM
Hard to said this but we must be truth to ourself.  Gambling is the most risky among all the investments ventures and it is really very difficult for you to continue making profits.  I believe that currently we should not hesitate to make this prayers that God should put his favor on us and for us to keep making many winning trade than 2018.

Gambling is not like trading and years does not matter in gambling. You can win anytime and lose anytime as there are no news or milestones which needs to be achieved in order to gain profit (like in trading).
You Just need to pray that you win and go ahead and try your luck with gambling.
5416  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does convince people to enjoy gambling is a wrong idea? on: January 01, 2019, 05:05:36 PM
I always have a mindset that gambling is fun and entertaining, I used to played for profit but now I played for entertained myself, I like to share my point of view about gambling, but I afraid when I introduce gambling to someone who cant control himself or herself then it can become a problem, and I can become the one that make him/her become addicted

So in one my hand I'd like people to enjoy gambling but in one hand I afraid it can turned into disaster and I could the person that cause the person become addicted, so I kind of confused when someone come and asked me to teach or explained thing about gambling, should I teach them or I just ignore them? How can I teach or convince them that gambling is only for fun? Is it a wrong idea to teach or convince them to gamble for fun?

I think gambling is good as long as you profit,and can give more relaxed our selves also to a stressful life.lts good as long as you will not focus on it to be addict.

Not everyone will able to enjoy the game and treat it as entertainment. Therefore it would be better not to introduce it to someone else especially to those who close to us. Gambling will involve emotions and each person will have their own reaction about it.

If you think it's bad, you shouldn't introduce it to anyone because any today's stranger can become you best friend later and those who are close to you at the moment can be your worst enemies in the future. But the thing is that gambling is not bad by itself, only addiction to it is bad. And that's what you should explain to the person while introducing him/her to gambling. It would be better if you introduced someone to gambling with precautions than someone else would do it without them.

First of all, you should be clear whether you are supporting gambling or you are against it. If you are supporting and yourself doing gambling , then there is no harm is convincing other people about it.

On the other hand, if you are not satisfied with your gambling results, then you should not advise anyone else to try their luck there as you will not want your near or dear ones also get stuck in gambling.
5417  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis betting on: January 01, 2019, 04:24:35 PM
It seems that the era of Federer - Nadal - Djokovic  is coming to an end and we have now new champions Kevin or at least the people like Kevin can give good competition to these legends and they have to work hard to survive their positions which they have gained in last few years.
Well it seems Federer got an easy win against Norrie 2 - 0 (6-1)(6-1) Norrie was very easy for Federer.

Anyway, how long you think they will play?

Federer 37 years
Nadal 32 years
Djokovic 31 years

Djokovic and Nadal may play more 5 to 6 years but expecting more from Federer will not be that practical.



You're right that Nadal & Djokovic still have career left for them to proof themselves but unfortunately Federer may not continue for much longer time. Federer is my all time favorite tennis player and I will miss him after his retirement.  Cry
5418  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: EVERYBET.IO , is a BIG SCAM !! on: January 01, 2019, 04:05:49 PM
This customer has withdrawn his funds and we have paid his last bet. Our terms on our sign-up bonus are quite simple:

Place first bet, receive two free bets – Terms and Conditions

New customers who place their first wager will be entitled to two free bets up to the same value (up to 3 mBTC).


For some reason in the original post on this thread the word 'new' appears to not have been copied and pasted correctly by the poster.

We keep our terms and conditions simple for all of our bonuses. We don't want to have endless Terms and Conditions and hurdles for customers. That said, it's a two-way street as we don't willingly accept bonus abuse either. We can't run promotions otherwise.

I think the way Everybet.io is defending this allegation by a member seems that they are right here and it is the OP/ User who is trying to exploit the bonus to his benefit and trying to cheat the system by wrongly interpreting the sites term and condition about the bonus.
5419  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The way to win in gambling on: January 01, 2019, 03:57:27 PM
Thinking positively doesn't ensure you that you are going to win in gambling because it mostly depends on the game you are playing. If you refer to a game of luck then thinking positively will be probably a good strategy (although it doesn't guarantee success). If you are playing a mind game like poker, your strategy doesn't work because you have to use your mind as well when playing.

Gambling is by luck only and luck favors the brave. If you're confident and positive, most likely the luck will favor you and you may win.
Persons will negative mind most likely will lose in gambling. So be focus and confident is my way of wining in gambling.
5420  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much did you make from gambling in 2018! on: January 01, 2019, 03:43:25 PM
Its funny whenever i realized how are my gambling results for this year. I won i think thrice for the twenty games i play. You see, there is not really a money in gambling and it cannot be the source of financial income. If people tells you that they earn more, maybe im just unlucky and gambling isnt for me. But yeah, ill do it for fun so no regrets at all.

That's the story for me too and many of the other people who do gambling. More than 80% of the people lose in gambling more than winning. I myself think that gambling cannot be a full time income source or those who think they can live on gambling only, should reconsider their decision.
