I try a triple-up tonight:

Cleveland vs Milwaukee  WIN Cleveland at quote@1.45
Atlanta vs Minnesota      WIN Atlanta     at quote@1.50
Phoenix vs Houston        WIN Houston   at quote@1.35



i like your selection but i do worried about the hawks i guess 2 game parlay would be fine and enough to follow as we knew minnesota always surprises the fans and can with stronger team, good luck to your parlay mate thanks for sharing let see the results later.
That was my idea as well, the line seems very deceiving. We use to see the Hawks giving a spread like -7 or over at home when playing a non top caliber team. Maybe the refs are cooking something up tonight, Grin..lol

But what I have to say is just good luck dude. I'm not tailing with it. I have another games to follow, I like bulls -4 at home.

Because you can 'possibly' earn quick and easy money and not have to wrok. Bums like not working so tell themselves they will continue to try and chase their winnings. They all lose and cry in the end.
And they still believe they can win and keep trying :/
At the end they do not have any money to continue so they do not then play again but I have saw some people who still have urge to gamble even they do not remain with any money with them. They often lend from their friends and they think that one day they will earn back all of their money.
some people even bit for their cars, motorbike and every for their houses but not giving up bitcoin, they continue as they are thinking tha one day he will return all his losts money, but all his struggle goes fruitless.

I agree about that they are trying everything its pretty sick that they are, they will end up homeless soon or later because of it.
And it is even worse if they have families or someone they should take care of.

That's happening in real life and there's no solution for it unless they will experience on how to have nothing and lose everything with gambling.

And if their addiction is still pushing them and their not comfortable if they can't gamble within a single day but they don't have money anymore.

Sadly, that's the reason to trigger them to commit crimes, very sad but that's the reality.
Time will come that one will be addicted with gambling, especially if he devotes too much time with gambling. But this addiction can be treated if he notice it at the early stage and will make the necessary action to quit gambling for good. Gambling is for entertainment but once you are addicted with it, it will change the norms and eventually it will not bring you as what you expected.

i am feel little shameful for being a gambler, i think its like we need to do with secret without anyone else have to know what we do, fortunately i don't to often to playing gambling and no one my family member asked me for what i am do while i am in front of my pc.
Be matured before you play gambling, it's not good to hide to your family what you are doing if you feel you are not doing bad. There is actually nothing to be ashamed of because we are just doing it as part of our entertainment. Don't take gambling seriously, and never make this be part of your daily activities in life as it will not bring good results to you if you cannot handle the stressful situation anymore.
5484  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who can tell that when our luck come to us? on: December 21, 2016, 06:57:17 AM
It all depend on our struggle and our plannings for our life and our sincerity with our life after having these things we can get any thing in our life and can reach to any aim of our life while without these we can get nothing. So we do not have to depend on the sayings of other people like fortune tellers and have to spend our life.

Yeah, that is so right. We must not be so dependable on what other people say to us, even if it is a fortune teller. As i said, we are responsible for what will happen in the future and what may happen. I think fortune tellers just do things like that to make money, or they have really talent. But the thing is we dont need them to tell us what will happen, because we know to ourselves where we are going and what we will be doing in the future.
The reality is no one can see the future, only God can and fortune teller are not God. Just focus on what you can today as your effort will reflect in the future, if we study hard enough in gambling then maybe it will pay off in the future, it's not only luck that is important, we always have to consider the knowledge as that will give us advantage to be consistent in winning in the long run.

You can get addicted to basically anything. Once you get it's always a problem. And. The problem with being addicted on gambling is that you can lose track oh your spendings and you can happen to spend more than you can afford to.

Some people actually only lose a small amount each time they gamble however the sad part is that they keep on doing it and keep on playing even when they know that they have lost. In the end, the accumulative amount should be very well high enough if you do some calculation on it
If we are doing it for fun, we will not need to track our loses as it will only discourage us from enjoying further. Only if you gamble for the sake of profit, you will have to do that in order to determine if your journey in gambling is profitable or not.

The moment you realize you have accumulated a lot of loses already, it's either you will stop or chase your bets which is always a bad thing to do.
5486  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Play with your profit or not? on: December 21, 2016, 06:29:48 AM
When you guys are gambling and already doubled your bankroll, do you still play with the whole money you got or you take away half of your bankroll and start playing with your profit or not?
I prefer to play it again because if you play with half of your money and loseit's just a waste of your time, even if your initial money is not lost

If you're playing it for fun, then one should take out your profit and play with your initial amount because at the end everyone going to lose money and the only house is going win. So if you take out that profit then you can use it for next round to enjoy your free time otherwise soon or later you will lose all your money.

Just like what others believe, "you don't gamble to win but you gamble so you can gamble for the next day." But for me it is better if you will going to withdraw your capital and just play with your profit. So that whenever you will lose, you are going to lose nothing but your profit or else you will lose everything if you will not have a wise decision.
That method does not work if you aim to have a bigger wins, the method I use is when I do sports betting, I set up a bankroll that I will use for the entire season of the game that I choose.

I make sure that this specific amount will be properly manage by me so this will last and I can still enjoy gambling more, normally at the end of the season when I am on profit, I just earn at least 100% which makes me satisfied already.

Now, if you do not have a good bankroll, you will not be satisfied maybe. What if you have BTC0.01 and you double it in 6 months, sounds like a waste of time right, so be sure you put a decent amount as your bankroll if you want to earn bigger. At least that is being realistic in gambling.
5487  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you feel shameful for being a gambler? on: December 21, 2016, 06:20:49 AM
My answer is no, why would I be shameful. I guess it's not a sin and I am not committing a crime either, for others who think gambling is very dangerous, that would only mean that they are not responsible enough to engage in a risky game. What I see is that bitcoin is a form of entertainment and based on experience, I enjoy doing it, so it's not a sin to have fun when you are not hurting others.
5488  Economy / Economics / Re: I have 12 BTC in my Account, How should I invest this?? on: December 21, 2016, 05:07:12 AM
Advice, tips, speculation please.
Hold about half in a mixture of different places. Invest some in altcoins (if it interests you). Invest some in pending on sites such as btcjam.com. As an almost reliable investment I'd suggest investing in reputable gambling sites such as bitvest or primedice.
Probably for current the best step is hold, the investment in altcoin highly risky, lending investment not recommendations because too many account banned without apparent reasons. I think 10 btc on hold and 2 btc you can use for gambling.
Please don't include gambling in your plan if you are planning of investment, you must not just hold your bitcoins but you have to diversify and only invest on what you think you have the knowledge as that can be use as your advantage to succeed. Trading, and holding your bitcoins are just the same, the only difference is the one is for short term and the other is for long term, whatever you come up, just do it with proper caution.

I'm still amaze on how Bucks fight for this game against Cleveland but it seems that Cleveland wants this game really badly and they just gave their revenge to Bucks'.

Bucks fans should be proud on how their team have perform this season, however playing against a powerhouse team where the king is in is not easy. Tonight, they are tested again and they fight, and for me It's just alright because they gave us a good game to watch. Giannis Ant.... and Jabari Parker are exceeding what people are expecting. Grin
5490  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can gambling help you with your life? on: December 21, 2016, 04:43:02 AM
Playing gambling doesnt really affect my life since i do only treat it as an entertainment thats why it doesnt affect too much my emotions,personality and even more.
Some people might being affected by gambling on positive ways but mostly ive heard on majority of them are being affected on negative ways.
Yes that is a fact that most of the people are badly affected by gambling and I think the main reason is that they do not have any limit and strategy for gambling and they continue gambling tell they lose their all investment in one time.

Those people who are making gambling too much for treating it as a source of income are the once who are being affected with it gambling.

Like for being obnoxious when they are having any single lose as they play which is not new for gambling has only two results, win or lose.

Because they are treating it that way, they can't accept the fact that they have lose in gambling and that is not making them to grow in gambling.

Nope I think people who are treating gambling as a source of income are more open to loses.   They know the whole system on how gambling works and mostly ready to accept loses when it is due.  This are professional gamblers you are talking about since they are most  likely to take gambling as source of income and infact, they are actually earning from gambling and the least to get addicted.

That's what I'm saying and they are more prone to losing a lot of money because of treating gambling as a wrong source of income.

But there are people who are truly making good profit in gambling and that is making themselves helped by gambling, I wish it is possible to me either.

The only thing that gambling me is with on how I manage with my money. That's making me aware before gambling.

Sort of getting serious of playing gambling that you will earn big profit and not having fun only focusing on playing and winning to earn a ton of profits. But most of my friends that is gamblers they will always earning more in gambling thats why they earn profits as my self I always keepy loosing but the time I loose I stop playing and try my luck on the next day
That would only tell us that gambling is not for everyone, others see it very easy for them to win but for us, despite of our effort, we still cannot win it. Maybe you have another expertise and not in gambling for sure, so you have to develop that and make it as your advantage to generate money for you.
5491  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: December 21, 2016, 03:17:22 AM
This game between Cleveland vs Milwaukee looks like s trap bet for the Cavaliers with only -4 against the spread so I'm betting on the Bucks with this one considering a lot of easy bets this week went the other way. Good Luck
I just watching this game right now and its fun to watch. A lot of spectacular dunks. Good defense of milwaukee bucks keeps them alive. Though cleveland has the lead. Theres still a lot of time. If they penetrate more and fish for foul. I think they are gonna win this match
Very nice, it's a close game. Bucks can really compete with the Cavaliers as they once defeated them in their previous match up. I like how the young bucks were able to compete this season, I think they will enter in playoffs again and they will be the cryptonite of the Bulls if ever they meet in the first round.
5492  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: the difference between game and gamble? on: December 20, 2016, 06:58:43 AM
well gambling is the one you're playing with the use of money to earn money too. while game is just for entertainment purposes only and dont need to risk money because all you need to do is to have fun and have an entertainment to reduce your borediness. there's a lot of difference about this two but playing gambling can call as a game too.
I guess the risk is the difference also, with game no risk at all as no money involve and though in gambling we can consider it as our investment or entertainment we cannot erase the fact that we need to risk our money to operate it. Gambling on the other hand are the root cause of failure for peole who does not understand the risk, because they think they can make easy money with it.
5493  Economy / Economics / Re: Mining coins save or sell it? on: December 20, 2016, 05:53:26 AM
I won't go for mining as it won't be profitable enough for me to invest in it, so if I see price going lower in coming days then will prefer to buy some and save them for the future.
Bitcoin mining is excellent for those people whom getting huge income that will seek for great potential of mining profit. Mining is profitable if you have many cpu that will work for you. Also, investing in mining is worth it as time goes by.

If you do not have very cheap electricity, it is not profitable to mine.
You have to live in china to benefit of the cheap electricity, more miners are operating profitably there and in fact most miners are chinese. Moreover, it's not the electricity alone that must be considered, we have to understand that the mining equipment would already cost you much, so think wisely and evaluate yourself if you can afford to start this kind of business.
5494  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To Gamble or To Invest? on: December 20, 2016, 05:36:01 AM
your gambling site should have enough players so you can cover all the advertising, staffing, and all other expenses. There are also gambling sites that goes bankrupt, you just don't notice it.

Most gambling sites dont "bankrupt" , the term is not correct t all. Most goes out of business because they are not making enough to cover their expenses however you will rarely see the term of bankrupt usage as it tends to mean that a player wins everything on the site and it makes the site out of business actually
For online gambling, the expenses is really not that big, because they do not pay for the license and it's just for site maintenance to be secured and a little amount for promotions to entice gamblers to play, they are operating profitably if they will continue to take care of their business that would enable them to retain their clients and possible invite new comers. Since they have the advantage, they will surely win in the long run and would operate longer continue to make money.
5495  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is there a trick dice? on: December 20, 2016, 02:58:34 AM
Trick does only exist in our imagination because it does not take place in dice. You are playing a game with a house edge and it has been proven that house can operate profitably with this kind of fame, so no way you can win whatever trick you are using, it is just not gonna last longer.

You will only be addicted finding method to win and be upset in the end as you will realize your are just wasting time. Just play for fun and hope you are lucky.
5496  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: December 20, 2016, 02:46:51 AM
because you can win a  lot of money here and most of people want money

Yeah money can be your winnings and there's a lot of it the main reason that you can be addicted to it is the fun you experienced and your desire to win for chances of bigger amount. Some people could not manage their emotions while they gamble, if they'll lose their bets they are more eager to bet more amount in order to cope up with their loses but still it isn't worth it because they more become tied to it and results to addiction.
The loss of bet will make people addict this gambling. You are right people will lose money in gambling, and they will chase that to gain back, but the result is a corresponding loss. Here controlling your emotions in play is very important, if you can not control your emotions, you will quickly addict to this gambling.
It could easily happen if such person has no room to accept the reality of defeat in gambling, it's certainly part of gambling so one must be realistic enough to see the risk and eventually accept it. A gambler who accepts the defeat will always be appreciative in gambling despite of the fact that are fighting in a losing battle in terms of profitability.

there will be going to be some gift for christmas? like better odd or reward that the site will give to celebrate the new years? perhaps it can bring more people in betting, i think it's a neat idea

Yes it is a great idea and to reward also the players thats why 1xbit is currently offering this new event where you can win a BMW X6. It is called "Festive Prize Giveaway : Open the Baubles, Basically you open one bauble each day until Dec 31, 2016 and complete the said tasks.

For more info: https://1xbit.com/en/newyear

I have tried opening a bauble yesterday and today, The other two is easy but the other one is quite difficult for me but there is 24 hour limit so you have a lot of time to complete.
Actually with this promotion is just very timely, considering there's a lot of blessing people will be receiving this holidays then it would also increase the exposure of the site and will attract more gamblers. As long as they continue their good service and always present competitive odds, thru pre-game and live betting it will be a more popular site in the future.
5498  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling problem on: December 19, 2016, 08:18:39 AM
A lot of people have gambling problems but there is nothing wrong with having them because they are mostly for a short period and its just that you need to have to get your mind back.

There are a lot of compulsive gamblers out there that really need help. They can't just stop gambling, they will come back time after time. I think if you gambled you would experience the feeling and the thrill of winning and losing as well.

The best way is to go to gamblersanonymous, talk to a professional counsellor and you can maximise your chance of quitting that way imo.

These are the common problems among gamblers they chasing their loses till there's nothing left for them. And for some it's really not easy for them to stop because of the loses they had.. we can help them to stop but it's really up to them if they're willingly to stop or let go of gambling.
That's why don't chase your loses because there is a possibility that you can lose again, after you lose better to calm your self, this is a good to avoid become greediness and to prevent lose your all money in gambling.
Maybe if we can master to manage ourselves in gambling we don't lose more often, that's actually a major problem on our part as we always seek revenge and we forget to properly strategize our way in gambling, instead of our mind that should be condition, we let rage dictate us which most of the time will not result as what we expected.
5499  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What would you do with your winnings? on: December 19, 2016, 08:12:50 AM
I will try to multiply them but not from gambling but from trading I suppose.You have to be really careful as I recently made a mistake but it was worth the risk,but the whole point is that you have to be aware that all your winnings can go away and you are the one who have to control the situation.But if you have any left,then I would go for trading as I think you can make profit there.
Converting your winning into another form of investment is good, you are thinking very advance for that matter. Most of the gamblers just spent there winning in their wants and expect the next time they'll gamble they can have the same outcome, however gambling does not work that way, not all the time we can win so it's going to be frustrating because you failed on your mission.

It's either we just have to enjoy it or we are going to a journey to win in the long run, and everything should be done according to our plan.
5500  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Worst mistake in gambling on: December 19, 2016, 07:12:53 AM
I think the worst mistake that i have ever done in gambling is being greedy I mean I have won a decent amount of money from my 0.0002 and I put it all in, in a round in satoshimines then my mouse was click by other person while i was talking to my friend hehe so i learned a lesson that I should never leave my mouse when i'm playing satoshimines
Becoming greedy while gambling is not a good experience at all. Try to control yourself and comply some simple rules of gambling because they can help you to survive in casinos. I think you do not want to leave home with an empty pocket, right? Anyway, it is good that you can learn some lessons from your own mistake. Keep up learning, it is good for all of us
Usually when we first came in to gambling we are not greedy as we do it for fun only, but as time pass we do experienced both winning and losing until we are hooked to gambling and that is the start of greediness, we do not want to accept loses and we wanted to win more. There would be no more satisfaction on our part and that is our weakness and only if we can change that will we have at least a chance to enjoy or possibly win.
