25-2 run by the Timberwolves just before the half ended.
It looked like The Bulls were going to run all over them in the first quarter. They were leading by 23 points at one time.
Now they are only down by 2 points at the half.
This might have them winning this before the match is over.
I just hope for an over on points final result. Sad
The 2nd quarter of the game is a sign that this game will go under. I would like to tell you that I have trust the Bulls to make the necessary adjustment in the 2nd half and I put my money on live under in the 2nd half. This game will not be close, the line seems very confusing as it was down in favor of the Bulls.

I expect as usual the Wolves will not have a good performance in the 2nd half, that's the trend and it might continue. Good luck Grin
It will go under unless they go into overtime. It is close now at 85-85 so if they do it will go over 200 for sure.
Too bad your only chance now is when this game will went to overtime, it's less that 1 minute and the score is still 95-91. You have a little chance but don't lose hope, this is NBA and it's gambling. Anything is possible for you. If you lose, there' still the last game between the Portland and the OKC, I guess Portland is a good bet IMO.
5522  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your aim in gambling???? on: December 13, 2016, 04:47:33 AM

My aim nowadays in Gambling is to kill time. Getting laid-off and wanting to still earn some, or at least do something for fun.

Making virtual friends and trying this and that (calculations) on dice games comforts me in some ways.


Gambling is a good way of meeting what you want people and socializing with them, and this is a rare reply where a person does not care about the entertainment and the profit gambling offer but is interested on the people participating on it.  Quit a combination of social gambler and escape gambler Cheesy

It is like when you are trying to find an escape or a quick getaway from the stress of the real world. It may sound stupid to some but it really comforts me.
I talk to everyone but I choose who to converse with. 
I also play these games to kill my boring time and to get refresh and I have noticed one more thing when I play my mind become more active and I can then work with full energy and do not feel any boring. It is a good source for refreshment.
That was cute, I hope others are also doing what we are doing here. To have fun and not to make it very serious, we are the losers in the end if we exert more effort to beat the house. Just like they said if you cannot beat them join them and that can be done in gambling, you join them by investing or by having fun, at least when you lose it's not that big.
5523  Other / Archival / Re: Do you think that you're addicted to gambling? on: December 13, 2016, 04:37:34 AM
Well I'd rather say I'm addicted to winning or making profits. I gamble or trade because I want to earn more and make profit so my drive is rather from what I'm going to earn at the end of the day and not just gambling for gambling sake. I gamble because I believe I can win and that's it I do win often too.
I guess we all believe that we can win, otherwise we will have no interest in gambling at all. However, it is not all the time that what we hope will happen just like not all winning are our experience in gambling but most of the time we loses, with that reality we might be addicted because we will become frustrated that goal is not happening despite of the effort or hard work we are doing.
5524  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Worst mistake in gambling on: December 13, 2016, 02:44:14 AM
Two days ago I was playing poker with friends and I had one mistake all the time - I didn't believe in myself and my cards. Every time after I said "fold" on the table appeared that card that could made me a winner. So self confidence is also important in gambling.

Self-confidence and experience will help only to increase your winning chances in gambling but if you want to win money then you should be lucky. Only luck can bring you money otherwise only losses. To avoid these mistakes I always prefer to gamble with some fixed amount without expecting any money from it.
Luck will come and goes around but your knowledge and skills will always be without throughout your journey in gambling. True that you cannot ensure of winning but you can increase your chances if you have that, remember that the self confidence will come if you believe you have the right knowledge in every decision making you do in gambling.
5525  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When is Gambling Like Investing on: December 13, 2016, 02:22:50 AM
I'm not a fan of gambling by itself, but instead as a way of studying and learning about other things.  For instance, I'm sure that if elderly people kept playing card games, it would help keep their minds alert.  Studying poker involves studying human nature and probabilities.   There are other aspects like studying risk in gambling, which is like studying risk in investing. 

Does anyone have any examples of how gambling is like investing?


Gambling is like buying a penny stock that is going to die but hoping for that 1 spark that could make it shoot up in price.  You buy it without knowing what it actually is.
Gambling is Gambling.  Investing is Investing.

That is true, gambling is just a games and we can't compare that with any kind of investments. But some people think that they are risking money in gambling so it is same as investing. They should know that you need to pay money to gamble and that money is not a investment. But if your lucky then only sometimes you can earn some big money.
Primarily it depends on how you manage your gambling journey, if that is for investment to you therefore it is just and fair that you have to device a specific game plan and ensure that you will follow it diligently, this could be a very hard journey but the success is very sweet if you can do this.

On the other hand, those people who are gambling for money but primarily relies on luck, it's not investing at all.
5526  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe that win in gambling is depending on your luck ? on: December 13, 2016, 02:14:25 AM
Yes I think its really depending on the luck you are having, gambling is something that is really depending on it, without luck you will also not win without any doubts people!!
But with full reliance of luck you will not win as well. It should be in a balance way, there's no way a lazy person will win in gambling if he is seeking for a great financial return, there's a technique that we should develop for us to be entitled for a long term winnings and that can be done with continue learning from our mistakes and experimenting of ways that might help us to succeed.
5527  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To Gamble or To Invest? on: December 12, 2016, 06:33:54 AM
I agree, smart investing is a good way to secure your future, but if you are really into a gambling why not make your gambling experience be your investment.  Just make sure that you do not deal with games that rely solely to chance.  Why not invest your time and money in gathering data on sports betting  that way you have a bigger chance to make profit out of your predictions.

There is no such thing as gathering data for sportsbetting, either you fall victim and lose your money in gambling or that you win . There is a high chance that you will lose however investing will provide more secure things up and at the long run it is guaranteed to get profit from the wagered amount times the house edge
But at least you can justify whatever the outcome of the game than just betting without exerting an effort, the fact that we analyze we are already enjoying gambling and though it does not guarantee profit but it gives some kind of excitement having the feeling that we are making great effort to succeed. If we already believe that we will fall victim then there's no sense working your bets since we can gamble luck if we want to.
5528  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Worst mistake in gambling on: December 12, 2016, 06:18:42 AM
What are some the more idiotic and stupid mistakes that you know you shouldn't have made but did anyway. Yes this includes other none gambling stuff like sending btc to the wrong address. I'm interested to find out the stupid things other people do.  Roll Eyes
The worst thing i and stupid mistakes that i experienced i withdraw my winnings  in wrong bitcoin address. That is very terrible i made in my life i lost 0.2 btc in a minute just one click all gone. I almost cried that day but its my fault.
You should always be careful with bitcoin addresses, sorry for your loss. i've not withdrawn to a wrong address yet hopefully won't in future. going all in is the worst mistake.
I experience this before maybe last year here not in gambling but dealing to someone here that is why i am always checking the address before i send because i don't want to mistake to send again.. because there is no reverse payment. if you send it you will never recover it back..
Exactly, there's no room for negligence here especially when the amount involve is a big one. Always take careful action and review the transaction many times before hitting the send button. So far, I have not experience this and God forbid because I can consider this a really big mistake, you are like battling a game without given a chance to win.

1xbit, I have noticed that when I am logged in to your website I have LOWER odds then when I'm logged out.

For example 2,08 when logged out...2,02 when logged in....why is this? This seems like I am getting treated unfair.

And all this while I have lost about 10BTC since opening my account 1 month ago. Please let me know why this is and if it can be resolved, otherwise I will quit betting at 1xbit.
The odds really changes from time to time depending on how popular the game is, it's normal dude and you are treated fairly. In sports, it's what you called line movement and when the line moves the odds move as well.
5530  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: December 12, 2016, 04:00:31 AM
Gambling is very addictive because of the fact that its an easy thing to do and you like to do it because you can win money and try it over and over because of it.
That's the problem if we are too greedy to make money in gambling, if we rely our future that we can make fortune in gambling then probably we will be addicted because we are going to do it over and over again experimenting method hoping it will work. But the fact would always prevail, we cannot do it because we do not have the edge, it's either we lose our interest in gambling early or we will be bankrupt due to negligence.
5531  Economy / Economics / Re: If you were in desperate need for money.... on: December 12, 2016, 03:45:21 AM
If you were in desperate need for money / Bitcoins, what would you do? How to get it, earn it, whatw are your solutions and experiences? I wonder what people are ready to do when money is the problem.

No one will give money for free in this globe even with bitcoin also, there many ways to make bitcoin but it will take lot of time and you need to work a lot for that. There many other option like signature, mining, faucets, twitter campaigns, free give away. You need to work a lot to make money and more over it is very time consuming also.

I agree. it is not easy to earn much money in a short time. but I have ever been in your position. I really needed money so I was into bitcoin trying to eran some pennies. the thing is I already knew some theories of bitcoin and an account, so I joined signature campaign and it worked.

well for you, I only suggest you to look for give aways in this forum, and go to service section to find whether you can do some easy services there to get money.
Somehow in can help but don't rely too much of your time with signature campaign. Never limit of what you can do in the community as there's more bigger opportunities you can see that you will be able to capitalize your passion and it would bring your success that you are looking for.
5532  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you were rich, would you still gamble? on: December 12, 2016, 03:29:05 AM
Honestly,i love my money very much.So,i dont wanna waste my money for a bit of fun.And i think losing my money wont make me happy and wont gave me fun.So i will enjoy my life if i become rich and will go for adventure.I think wasting money on gambling doesnt make any sense better hold it for the future.
Good choose, it's better to hold the money after you win because there is a chance that your won money is will return to gambling, I would to travel also if i have become rich.
Having that kind of plan is like gambling for profit, you cannot be rich more because you are already rich when you are gambling, a rich person's focus should be to have fun rather than for profit. It is just an entertainment on their view and they and they can do it anytime they want as they have freedom with their money and will not worry much even if they lose.
5533  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Play with your profit or not? on: December 10, 2016, 03:45:08 AM
To be practical, I have to admit that I play for profit because it's where the complete entertainment. When you enjoy the game and in the end you bag a profit that is so fulfilling for every gambler. However, there are times really that the outcome does not favor us, so what we have to do is accept the reality that we cannot win all the time and just let it go and gamble tomorrow. There's so much fun in gambling if you understand it well.
5534  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your average bet per game? on: December 10, 2016, 03:25:45 AM
I bet on Dice so it would be more appropriate for me to say 'per session'.  Grin
I currently have a limit of .05 per session. Although it could also be as low as .010, but the absolute maximum is .05. I have gone crazy a time or two in the past and have gone over my limits. Like up to 2 - 3 BTC. Thankfully, I've managed to stick below my limits for months now.  Grin Grin
That's something to be proud of for your self, what you have done is you learn from your mistakes in the past. Honestly, most of gamblers can easily be tempted to chase because of the intense in gambling and especially in dice where we will easily know the outcome since it is very fast.

Sometimes we are lucky but when we are not we should learn when to stop to prevent further damage of our bankroll.
5535  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: what is definition gambling in your mind? on: December 10, 2016, 02:07:48 AM
My definition of gambling is very simple anything where you take risk of any kind and result is independent and can not be influenced is called gambling. You have can win or loose and you know that very well and understand the all possibilities.
Gambling is much more than that bro, gambling means something where you will always feel for playing even when you win or even when you loose. Gambling means playing against a house edge and still being too optimistic about winning.

And on top of all gambling means that you know you will loose still you always do it, itself means a super addictive activity.
Your definition is not a definition of gambling, certainly that is an action of addicted gamblers where he always think of gambling despite the loses. Gambling is just very simple to understand but we do have different interpretation on it but the right understanding of gambling is it is just for entertainment and you can see that on how a gambling sites advertise their service.
5536  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: December 09, 2016, 01:43:44 AM
Philadelphia 76ers    @ New Orleans Pelicans Philadelphia played very poorly and they had not won in the last 8 matches, these conditions are not much different with New Orleans Pelicans for prediction who will win i'm sure pelican can win but for betting i choose to take a bet on philadelpia +8
Good decision mate, you are doing what is right, the plus points has a very good value here and not only that, I believe the game will be competitive and the Sixers will be doing their best to have at least a win in this game. I do take the moneyline as well and part of my parlay. Good luck to us. Grin
5537  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does experience matter in gambling? on: December 08, 2016, 06:38:30 AM
Yes because experience can decrease your chance of losing. If you have experience in that game you know when to stop playing it and rest for a while. If you only rely on luck without having an experience in that game then it would be difficult for you to win in that game. There was a saying that experience is our best teacher.
But the actual problem with a gambler would be, out of rush of making quick profits from gambling they usually do forget to use their experience. Only when you are having slow and steady hunting in gambling, you may get chances to use your experience. If you go blindly, your experience will have no value there.
It matters if someone learns from his experience or not, because if he learns from his experience then there is a use of experience, for example when I was new in gambling I used to love martingale but with time I have changed my thinking, so if you take lessons and proceed you will have a better gambling experience further.
As they said experience is the best teacher so that means we have to learn from our experience, committing mistakes is normal since we are just humans but correcting our mistakes is the crucial part that we need to do if we want to gamble longer.

Gambling is a very risky game and it is true as evidence by the people who got broke because of gambling and I can say those people did not learn from experience, they keep doing their mistakes over and over until they become miserable.
5538  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What keeps you coming back??? on: December 08, 2016, 06:28:31 AM
I just like gambling, it is my hobby and my way of spending free time. I give up hopes that I can win big money, I am not lucky enough.
All these people bragging about how gambling is their way to big money make me laugh - either you start with big money already so you can bet high or you stay poor.

Gambling is not a way to remove you from being a poor person but if you work hard for it then that will be a different thing. That is one of the reason why many people are coming back from gambling because of that way of thinking, they think that gambling will help them to be rich easily and get out of their poverty.
Thats one reason thats why most of the gambler including me keeps on coming back. Tho im not that poor but being in a mid class. We still want to get higher. And gambling has that promise and we can achieve it in a short period of time. Tho the result was always opposite.

I don't think that a promise, it is just the way we think that gambling will able to make us rich very fast. But that way of thinking is the main reason for many of us that is keeping us back from gambling and even we are experiencing losing in the long run. We will justify it, that just even one win, it will suffice all our losses.
We are just being bias with the reality, although we know what we are not doing well in gambling still we do come back hoping that every time we gamble we can prove our method to work. With the repetitive action, we failed to notice that we are already hooked with gambling and we have lose so much money until our decision to come back again not to have fun but to chase our loses.
5539  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Investing in Bitcoin Casinos are really worth it? on: December 08, 2016, 06:01:57 AM
Usually the bankrolls will give you profit, even knowing the house will always wins in the long run, but some weeks the rewards are bigger then the fees colected, soo happens the debit, there are maybe 2-6 casinos working with bankroll and 2-3 of them are allowing you to make money, but well all know the risks doing such, admin can get tired off casino and walk away with the bitcoins.
If there's business is profitable it's impossible for the operators to get tired and just quit, they invested a decent amount in gambling and also the effort so they will have to make sure they will be operating longer, as an investor we must not jump easily in a gambling sites that offers investment program without careful study as when they quit they will take our money and we have no hold on that. What we get is only experience in the end.
5540  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: MY gambling strategy to limit loss and make btc on: December 08, 2016, 05:48:44 AM
I change my strategy to lose less and i know that this is good so far i lose approximately about 0.02 yesterday and i just played to day in some gambling site and bet in some sports game i made estimate of 0.1 bitcoin so far and this is really good for me. If you lose stop and try another day to try your luck.

make 0.1 bitcoin is a big money to win from bets sporting and gambling site and not many from us that could make in that amount. and i am agree with your advice about if you lose, stop and try another day to try your luck.
Yes stopping gambling right after a loss would save many further losses. We need to control our emotions when we are facing loss at the very first time itself. But gamblers will not accept the losses and they want to recover that within that day itself. A good gambling strategy must be always about stopping gambling as early as possible.
Stopping gambling for a day will delay your losses and it will not ensure your better stay in gambling by any means.

A better gambling strategy in my experience must be quitting it, yes quitting gambling will solve all the gambling problems and will lead to a better life.
Quitting gambling will never be a strategy and it maybe a solution. To have a better experience in gambling how you will quit it. A strategy must be encouraging to stay within gambling and should not talk about leaving it completely. Stopping for a day and resume next day will get you think afresh for a good strategy for a new beginning.
That's correct and quitting is the final solution for your hardships in gambling, when you are not enjoying anymore it's better to quit so as not to aggravate the loses. You will have to sacrifice your interest in gambling and look for other ways that will make you enjoy without losing your money. This is only for people who can enjoy gambling despite of losing money and not for people who are seeking easy money in gambling.
