It is not easy to stop gambling and to stop betting but one thing is very important and that is reducing the risk involved by gamble with the fund you can afford to lose. 
It's easy if you will not pursue, it's only hard if you are already addicted and you cannot just spend what you can afford to lose when you are addicted, you'll spend everything you have because you will never be satisfied even if you win. Self discipline is necessary, we can resist if we control ourselves, it's okay to gamble but there should only be a specified time for that as not all the time our life will evolved in gambling.

I think this is not the right time. We should wait some more time for bull run. Yeah, 2019 will be a cryptocurrency year like 2017.

you cant say that 2019 will be like 2017 because its too early  .  we are still on the first  quarter of the year , wait until we reach third or fourth quarter  . that is the time that you can compare the 2019 to other previous years  . but its okay if there will be no bull runs but as long as the price will remain this level  . its a bit high for me  and im already contented with it  .
Plenty of time to make things possible.

I am not really expecting we will be like 2017 because it seems unrealistic with the current market status.
What would satisfy me is if we will start the recovery this year, a price increase would be enough even if not making a new history.
5563  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Best Altcoin to invest on: March 02, 2019, 02:26:23 AM
I try not to risk this year. That is why I invest only in the most popular coins from the TOP-10 by capitalization. I like this strategy now.
We can call that a low risk investment, that's a good strategy actually because we never know if the market will really recover.
Though we like to see it recovering but it's not on our hands as we don't control the market, the top 10 are the strongest coins in the market, if they dump, they won't dump much but when they pump, they will really bring good profit to us if we buy at the current price.

Ethershift is like a more advanced version of etherdelta so i can see that one moving up. Especially as you can buy their ESH tokens are gain monthly airdrops of their profits
I not familiar with this one, is this live now or not yet?
I believe this is an decentralized again as you said it's an advanced version of etherdelta.
I guess we already have a big player in the market for decentralized exchange, I would rather trust binance dex than this one.
5565  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2018-2019 betting on: March 02, 2019, 02:00:26 AM
Tomorrow's pick.

Blazers +5 vs Raptors -5

These two teams had been playing really well but I believe the Raptors are just too good at home to beat this team.
Blazers will miss their back up center Enes Kanter, so it's a minus for this team since he is doing well on their last 4 games with 18 minutes average more or less. Gasol on the other hand has a hand injury but will likely to play in this game, so the team is still intact.

Coming from a blowout win against the Celtics, I guess the Raptors will be more confident to face the Blazers and will try to end their winning streak.


Pick :  Raptors -5


Tailed!


My Parlay bet for today:

Phoenix Suns - Pelicans >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Under 240.5 @ 1.81
Lakers - Milwaukee Bucks >>>>>>> (1st Quarter) Bucks - 1.5 @ 1.9
Toronto Raptors - Trail Blazers >>>> >> (1st Quarter) Raptors - 1.5 @ 1.92

Total odds: 6.6


Good luck to everyone!

Good luck bud, again you have your first win of the night with the Raptors -1.5 bet.
I hope they will win tonight, this is a close game but still early since we are in the 2nd quarter now, Gasol is doing well so far so I guess
we will have a chance to win even though the spread is -5.

There's a person on primedice toxial who has a 101% luck rating and has a profit of over 7 BTC... I want to know how they do it!! I always see them hitting 1k to 9k multiplier bets!
Yeah, if you look at the player's winning statistics like that, of course we will think again, about what strategy he uses,
does strategy work in dice? but as long as I play in primedice or another dicesite, any strategy doesn't work, and I have to rely on my luck
I saw the thread of the High Rollers in Primedice and that toxial is one lucky guy. He has a lot of profit and I'm just curious how large his bankroll is and I would also want to copy his style. That's incredible for an individual and it looks like he is beating the casino or something. Is he active in the chat as well? All I see is that 9900x multiplier hitting and that's just lucky.
No successful gambler would allow his style to be copied, let's just say that he is just one of the lucky gambler in this world but we never know his future. Luck is not permanent but the house edge is always their everytime you play and most probably his run will just end if he don't know when to stop and take profit.

Still not the perfect time to turn the market into a bullish trend.  Maybe they are waiting more a little more drop on bitcoin price before they start pushing the market in to a bull run thats my guess.
There's still a lots of market sway and its hard to assume yet when will be the actual bull to show up more stronger, traders and investors are both
trying to accumulate more coins to hold, while day traders are also taking advantage with small growth, 2019 can be a testing ground where believers
and holders will strengthen their holding grounds.

Bull will wake up, a matter of time when things will show up and surprises again all the investors.
Everyday I'm very much excited on checking the market price, but still nothing's change and I would appreciate it this way as price is stable.
We are not looking for another dump anymore, the recent dump was just a mere correction price is still healthy, we don't want to see a new dip of prices as that would definitely bring bad effect to us. No bull run yet, but don't worry it will come when it's not expected.
5568  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning on: March 01, 2019, 06:00:44 AM
Looks like it is working. In explorer there is 2.x ETH rewards.
It's working and the miners can only mine no more than 2.5 ethereum from each block and that was getting 30% decrease from the previous block reward. that's a good news at all.
The hardfork goes very smooth and that's good.
This could probably bring price appreciation, I am expecting that we will rise from here because we got the success that we are hoping.
I'm right with still holding my ETH as I know the team would just do things to improve the network for the future benefit, now we are seeing the good result.
5569  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How many hours a day are you spending on online gambling? on: February 28, 2019, 06:43:00 AM
Probably just an hour. It's because I don't want to pay too much time in gambling as I feel less control on the next hour due to difficulty in handling my control/emotion.
Good for you, knowing your weakness and admitting it will make you enjoy gambling.
That's also minimizing the risk, our emotion will likely affect our mood in gambling and the longer we play the more we get frustrated especially if we are losing.

If everyone could control their emotion in gambling, of course sad stories could be reduced. However, as we know, a person's level of satisfaction in carrying out activities is not the same. One can achieve a level of satisfaction in the short term, an hour for example. But there are also many people who are lulled by gambling and are able to spend most of their time in gambling.
That's because they don't focus on things that could give them real benefit.

I would not focus a lot in gambling, from the very start, I already understand the risk and therefore it helps me to play it right.
Spending time in gambling is only making yourself vulnerable, we should have proper time management and instead focus it to our job or whatever passion we have that could improve us as a person, gambling is not a passion.

Union Bank of the Philippines Launching Cryptocurrency ATM

Quote
One of the largest banks in the Philippines is reportedly launching a two-way cryptocurrency ATM that is in compliance with Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ specifications. In the Philippines, the central bank regulates cryptocurrencies “when used for delivery of financial services, particularly, for payments and remittances.”

https://news.bitcoin.com/union-bank-philippines-cryptocurrency-atm/

Another compelling moved that the Philippines is really working hard and getting closer to adopt bitcoin as one of the biggest bank in the country is launching a crypto ATM. Union Bank seems to be spearheading this, and as far as I can remember this bank is one of the first if not the first to integrate Paypal as well in the country. So let's see how it goes.


In a developing country like Philippines, this a great opportunity to improve the economy and the nation as a whole as well. Through this, I can foresee that crypto will become more popular in the country and will take interest to the different industries that can also adapt crypto in their business transactions. I hope it will continue to the other banks as well.

Not so popular yet but with the support of the government by granting licenses on business related to crypto, this is a good signal
for the future of crypto. This is the first bank to adopt wtih crypto through ATM and I believe there will be more banks to offer this kind of services.
For me, this is not really necessary since you can easily convert your crypto to fiat and vise versa but the physical presence is good.
5571  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: 2019 No Bull Run, the Bull is Sleeping on: February 28, 2019, 05:51:29 AM
bull run will indeed happen, when and how the news and events that can affect the incident I have not been able to explain it, but now the bulls are still sleeping, and we can only prepare our assets so that the bull run occurs.
Better convince ourselves that way so we won't loss hope.
It's just around the cornet waiting for the right timing to get in, if you look at the price of BTC now, it's still looks good, stable
already and there's a little pump and dump, I think we are unto another try of pumping up soon.

How in the hell does dwanyne wade hit two three pointers to beat golden state warriors?
He fumbled the ball and just threw it up and hit the buzzer beating three pointer when gsw looked as if they had this game with their close finish. Huh
Vintage wade, he can do stuff like that easily.
He still got something big to offer for his team and we will really miss this guy as he will be retiring this season.

Warriors were the heavy favorites but haven't you notice that they struggle lately?
No doubt they can win but not convincingly, heat just rewarded their backers big time with this win.
For risk takers who loves to bet against the favorite this game is a big hit for them, Wade just simply amazing he wanted for fans to remember what he've
contributed for this franchise, glad he able to returned before his final season from this league.

Not sure if what is happening with the warriors but consider this lost as an ordinary game to move on, anyway, they still have the west  number one spot.
That was a lucky shot by wade, the warriors would have won that game if wade was not lucky, of this game could have gone into OT if Durant shoot the last 2 free throw. There's a lot of surprises in NBA and that makes it fun to watch, games like this will always be in our memories because it's also done by a soon hall of famer.

Luck does not come all the time, that was a lucky roll, however the winning is just a small amount.
I tried hitting that payout and I make sure I will hit at least 10 BTC as a winning but my time has not come yet, I'm sure I will regret when time
comes I hit that multiplier but only that winning as I know it will not happen again.

That elusive 9900X payout!!!


5574  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: 2019 No Bull Run, the Bull is Sleeping on: February 27, 2019, 11:43:09 AM
true no bull run for this year probably 2020 is the bull run.. they are still shocked on what happen to the market last year..  Wink Wink

It is true that what happened in 2018 shocked and scared many investors. But, I am sure, that greed is a very strong feeling and if prices rise again, investors will come back with even more money. And it can happen very, very soon, for sure before 2020.
It did, and we are seeing the effect which some investors dump and completely leave the market.
They are fool money coming in the market, smart money are taking advantage of their lack of knowledge, they came in because instant
profit but crypto does not work that way, your way to make money here is when you buy at dip and sell at peak, not the opposite.

Primedice is reputable and one of the earliest dice site that operates until today. Until now, they are well known and has a good traffic of dicers. The reputation that it got to the community can't be compared to the new dice sites that are coming to compete with it. I've seen some dice sites that became hype few years ago but wasn't able to beat primedice.

True, they are popular and I don't think a gambler would not know them, also they are related to stake.com that are also popular now.




No special purpose imho, he/she just want to share something that he/she found in coinpedia. Take a look at his/her post history, there are some similar posts which comes from coinpedia. Not really sure why he/she did it but I he/she just posted it then leave it without replying to the thread he/she just made.

Indeed, that's why I don't like to see people posting this kind of information where it looks like a bot who is doing it.
An OP should also be active in the conversation as eventually people will ask, give idea on the subject that they think is interesting.

Wait....What is the purpose of this thread?
They already have an announcement thread - Primedice.com | Creators of Dicing 🎲 | 24 Billion Bets | 112+ BTC Jackpot! where we can see all the necessary information.

They started in year 2013 and still operating until now, that means they are already popular in the forum and you don't need to post information for discussion.

Only one thing that triggers all to become addicted and that is greediness.................
Greediness will especially if you don't have a good strategy to win, you conditioned your mind to win but without specific strategy to do it, it will result to nothing but losses, and when you keep losing, there is a higher chance that you will be addicted since you'll continue to get challenge and still gamble hoping to win.
5579  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Doesn't blockchain technology makes gambling easier? on: February 26, 2019, 02:44:13 AM
Blockchain Technology does facilitate the game, especially for those countries where they are prohibited.
Blockchain exist and anyone can build a gambling site using the blockchain, it does not matter if you are in a country where it's prohibited because the government cannot stop you from using the blockchain but you are of course subject to risk of getting caught.

it's a big breakthrough in the gambling world as people find it easy and hence it gives more entertainment to them.

5580  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2018-2019 betting on: February 26, 2019, 02:29:50 AM
Congratulations winners, this game was not easy, Cavaliers were able to make it a single digit game and even close to 3 points only.
They let only the Blazers score 17 points in 3rd quarter while they scored 36, I was thinking it will result to an upset but the 4th q was a strong q for the Blazers. Again, happy day fellas, Blazers win and covered ( final score - 123 - 110).

Looking forward for the pick tomorrow, hope it will be posted early so we can have a good line.  2 in a row mate.
