5601  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Play with your profit or not? on: February 17, 2017, 09:01:47 AM
If you can resist the temptation and withdraw your profit [or half of your balance, regardless of it being profit or deposit] then it's a better way IMO, the issue is that if you lose the remaining balance the odds of the player re-depositing the profit is quite high..

That's true. It's good to cash out your initial deposit. Atleast your money is already safe. Then you can play with your profit, whether win or lose, you didn't lose all your money. Most of the time gamblers forget to do that or if they remember to cash out, they are thinking that they could win more if they would be betting more and if they could bet more times when they don't withdraw.  Smiley

then i think this is the same as we play with the base bet and we can save our profit until its enough to withdraw and this is my plan so far and i still use my base bet to continue playing gambling. and if i can save much of the profits then i will withdraw it and i don't think that i can win more in many time.
Just hope that you will not be tempt to deposit again, that is actually not the way to win because even if you will not withdraw your base bet but you are discipline enough not to spend it based no your game plan, you can still do it.

What we are doing is sometimes we are fooling ourselves, we do not see the real cause of our loses and the real way to win, it's more on minimizing our loses and winnings as well because we are afraid to lose as we go alone.

The main problem identified base IMHO is we bet an amount that we cannot afford to lose.

i cant access the site? anyone can open the site?  Huh




Can you post the specific error message that you can get? It seems that most of us here can visit 1xbit so that we can figure out what is/are the possible solution to your problem. But I guess the main problem goes to your ISP try to fix it out and call the support. And it looks like 1xbit needs to fix some scam accusations from its players.

Try troubleshooting it first dude. I can access it too quite well. Try a hard refresh, ctrl + F5. If that didn't work try clearing your browser and cookies. If that still doesn't work, try using a proxy or VPN to see if you are being blocked. Or maybe you have a dynamic IP, try restarting your router, maybe the site is blocking the bad IP you got from your ISP.

its ok for now..
 after maintenance yesterday its look my country has been blocked.. running trough VPN smoothly..

Never use VPN to bet here, since this site has so many complaints, I personally avoid it. They can ask for ID, and if they find your ID is from the banned countries, they will not hesitate to confiscate all of your funds.
I guess they'll understand it, that is not new to them, I bet using vpn in some sites but there's no problem that I have encountered yet. Asking for ID is insane, what would be the use of being anonymous if we are required to give our real identity, I believe it will only happen in a case to case basis.
5603  Economy / Economics / Re: Do You Think Bitcoin Will Replace Dollar Soon? on: February 17, 2017, 07:07:30 AM
Not soon , maybe 2020 or 2030 decade

We will see bitcoin massive adoption  Wink
Even on that year, Still bitcoin can't replace the dollar because fiat currencies are powerful kind of thing and most of us used to that kind of currency and it will be nearly impossible or safe to say "impossible" to replace dollar because its been here for years and nothing can beat that even a cryptocurrency like bitcoin. But we're sure that after 2020 the bitcoin will receive a lot of adoption which can helps for bitcoin to be accepted in different country but not to replace their national fiat currency.
I definitely agree with that, bitcoin's popularity is not as big as dollar's achievement. Remember that what we are thinking is to replace dollar which is created by the government, this would is absolutely run by the government and whenever they make a law, we follow. That is why I don't see any good reason why bitcoin should and will replace dollar.
5604  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: February 17, 2017, 06:00:07 AM

And if you are loosing on it for so many times then you are not good at it. We are thinking that gambling is very wrong but we are the ones who make it very wrong because we can't control ourselves and keep on losing.

There is no such thing as being good in gambling. The only thing you could do is to come to your own sense and realize that we couldnt win in gambling especially in the long run. Therefore the sooner someone come to his sense and realize this thing then it will be so much better than keep on trying to win by wagering more

 
We rely on our instinct that is why we lose, a method should be something specific that will become as your basis on your decision making. Though luck is a very important factor but we cannot be lazy enough not to device a method by analyzing the game. Still, it is very satisfying if we will make a great improvement along the way and that can only be achieve if we choose what game is fit for us and we do what is need to win.

You would only say gambling is wrong when you gave up looking for the winning formula.

5606  Economy / Economics / Re: Tell me a secret: any way to earn 0.1 BTC per week? on: February 17, 2017, 05:25:14 AM
Work and save--faucets and sig campaigns aren't enough.

It is really not going to be enough if you will just going to use sig camps and as well as faucets. Working on a real job plus having some source of income is possible to give you 0.1 BTC per week. Just like doing some trading of alt coin that is going to be a good way to increase the profit plus doing some freelance jobs.
Yeah to be able to reach that amount per week you need to have lots of possible ways to earn bitcoin, its good if you have more time to spend in earning btc, like in trading sig campaign, investing and skills that you can use to get paid with btc.
Speaking of possible ways, there's a lot of ways to earn bitcoin in crypto world, 0.1BTC is not hard to earn if you spend more time and be smart on what you are doing. Working in micro tasks is one of the easiest way of earning bitcoin but that would not give us that amount, we need to do more to earn more. It's just a matter on how to maximize your income, with your earning, you can try to trade with different altcoins.
5607  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do you manage ur emotions? on: February 16, 2017, 08:57:51 AM
emotion control may need some physiological approach which may be possible with gambling.
Managing emotions must need many practices maybe gambling will bring such opportunities to drill our emotions to get practices of dealing with it. Only practice will make us perfect but those practices may come from any resources. I agree with this idea of getting drills from gambling so that we can control our emotions while trading.

Yes, even you are going to do some physiological approach, you really need to practice that on a daily basis. And that's what I did for the past months of my trading.

When I came to the point of wants to loose my emotion because I see that I've losing profit, I'm just making my mind calm.

Through it I'm able to manage my emotion.

its difficult to practice on a daily basis because not all people can have courage to do this and when they see that they have opportunity to win, i don't think that they can control their emotions. but i am agree that we should practice in everyday so we can control and manage our emotions in gambling games and i hope i can do it too like other gamblers.
Probably you don't read the OP, we are talking about trading here, yet your comment is based on gambling. Although they have similarities but gambling is more risky though. Controlling our emotion is always the key to success because it is a big hindrance to effectively execute our technique.
5608  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can you beat the house edge on: February 16, 2017, 08:35:17 AM
The only way beat the house edge is to exploit a bug in the system.
That is called hacking and if you are good at it you don't waste time trying to hack a game site rather you will be doing something useful.Winning big exploiting a bug is still illegal and if you are caught you might land in jail.
Hacking is a hard thing to do, don't think you can easily hack the system of a gambling sites, they have the best IT on board. Before they operate the business, they have already determined the risk in this kind of business and as they have determined, they need to hire people who can help them run the business successfully. If you heard some sites are getting hacked, probably that was just an inside job.
5609  Economy / Economics / Re: Should I believe in Bitcoin ? on: February 16, 2017, 08:15:58 AM
For now I still believe that bitcoin will continue to shine. presence of bitcoin has many changing the way transactions and investments, I divert some investment and savings into bitcoin because highly profitable.
of course bitcoin will continue to shine even more shine because bitcoin will continue to grow and spread throughout the world. and of course the price will be higher in the future, this will be a good investment, thats why i believe in bitcoin

to the poor counties bitcoin will be the future. cheap transaction fee, very fast and very easy.
Google and Facebook want to take the internet to everywhere.

For example for me a Bank Transfer to another country: 10USD
BTC transaction: 0.13USD

I think the BTC can reach close 1400-1800$ to 2018.

for long term.....  Cool

Not only for poor countries, bitcoin is for everybody who are willing to use its system. Bitcoin is not only for cheap transfer of funds to aid problem on big remittance fee but with for fast transaction as well. Further, big countries will get more benefits in bitcoin, they will enjoy the fast transaction while big capitalist will see it as an opportunity to enter in the market accepting bitcoin for their business and when there's a lot of services that accepts bitcoin, it will benefit the masses but then again not the poor ones.

Big population of poor countries are under poverty, they will not bother to used bitcoin instead they will look for a more viable ways to improve their living or worst is just to survive everyday.
5610  Economy / Economics / Re: How many Bitcoin do you have saved? on: February 16, 2017, 07:51:57 AM
I have around 150++ btc, bought when price dump to $100

How can you get those amount of bitcoin? This is really huge amount that you have, I can be a millionaire when I got that amount in my life. I suppose that you already save it for so long to wait till this time. For today I dont even have any penny amount because I always end up in gambling, try to save at least 0.1 btc but in the end I just lose it

May be you can give use some tips how to save until tou got that huge amount
Some people that knew about bitcoin earlier were the lucky people. most of the people who already know about bitcoin might secretly collect bitcoin knowing the fact that the bitcoin prices will continue to rise. I am also trying to collect bitcoin but because I also have a need then I also use it for daily needs. This time I had less than 5 BTC.
Not all of them actually, the price of bitcoin does not rise consistently, in the past it rise up to $1,200 but the market has crashed. What happen then is people do panic selling as they think bitcoin will be dead soon, only few of the traders are holding still and they are the ones who will be benefited with the current success of bitcoin now. It's actually easy to say that we could have bought cheap bitcoins if we knew it earlier but the real situation will bother you.
5611  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to explain bitcoin to teenagers or children on: February 16, 2017, 07:03:25 AM
Bitcoin is difficult to explain. I also felt difficulties in understanding bitcoin for the firs time. Let's share how to explain bitcoin to children of teenagers. In My country I can say 98% children don't know bitcoin. In fact, bitcoin can be future money. If the children not familiar with cryptocurrency or bitcoin, how can they face the digital era in the future.
Things are difficult to explain if you don’t know what you are talking about, even some of the most complex subjects in math can be explained with everyday examples.
If you do not understand bitcoin clearly, how can you be an effective teacher? Actually, that is up to the comprehension of a certain person, the information can be search in the internet and with effort you can understand that as you continue to study it. The moment you understand bitcoin, that will be the time that you will start to feel confident with investing on it and be optimistic of the future.
5612  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: February 16, 2017, 05:06:50 AM
Money is better to invest, and it should be done in a real business. I trust what I can feel or see on the Internet it can be temporarily or threatened.
of course if you have a lot of capital would be better if you invest it because of course it will grow your money. but you do not forget to save your money. because it is very important for your future
I am not that negative type of person but not all investments are having an opportunity of earning profits. It is the same as gambling.
If you are a newbie in investing, before it,  you must really check the one who will you put your investment, they may be a scam and fooling many people.

I do not think that all investments is like gambling. this type of investment is a lot but that is different is the potential for profits. one type of profitable investment is real estate, you're not going to tell that real estate was a gamble right. If you have big capital, you better invest in it.
Gambling is different from investment, your chances when you are gambling is very low as you are solely dependent on your luck. Investment on the other hand is something that we see as an opportunity, we see great chances to succeed and will eventually grow our money, although it has the same risk with gambling, but with careful evaluation, we can manage the risk and will certainly get the outcome in favor of us.
5613  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you bet on "Sports" games that you don't know? on: February 16, 2017, 04:51:24 AM
Yup, I do that once in a while on random games I have no idea about the teams playing and competing on, I guess it's a kind of a gambler's thing. I see people betting on ping pong, table tennis and snookers all the time here lol

I really don't want to try to bet with the sports that I don't know. I don't have the guts to waste my bitcoins for betting with unfamiliar games. But I know if you got already an experience from doing so, you will still have the courage to keep on doing this type of bet. Maybe I'll do this for sometime but right now, I really don't want to.
There are two effects of doing it, what you will feel is you will not enjoy what you are doing and you lose your money at the same time. Sports betting is one of the most popular gambling sites but it not for everyone who do not appreciate sports. Also, not every gambler has the interest of all sports available, some likes basketball while some likes soccer, the way we do it should always give us an excitement and will not happen if we do not know the sports.
5614  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to play gambling in a smart way? on: February 15, 2017, 08:06:10 AM
Well for me the smartest way to play gambling is to limit your self,
Set up a goal for your profit and your lose and just be calm whenever you lose.

Exactly, the smartest way to gamble is to control our betting like daily 10 gambles. Either we win or loss, it will impact on your person life if you don't keep any set of rules for your gambling. Even you are in swing of making money continuously through gambling than quit gambling for that day.
that's true stick to the rules that you have set up before are a must to avoid your greedy come up and take control your mind. anyone who start gamble will have hard time to quit as they keep following greedy minds which it's never ending , on losing you will think to cover it up asap and on winning you will never enough to have profit, we are human and being greedy are always there.
Planning is very important because we do the actual gambling, hence, it is recommended to have a game plan and make sure you can properly execute it. Never let your emotion ruin it, as if you will allow it to happen, you will really gonna lose your money. Being smart means being discipline in gambling and be able to accept a losing day as not all the time we lose but we aim to have more winning than our loses to get a profitable outcome.
5615  Economy / Economics / Re: Tell me a secret: any way to earn 0.1 BTC per week? on: February 15, 2017, 07:26:47 AM
Everyone ask the internet these questions and they are that desperate to earn bitcoins, though you must be really not that being spoon feed by the others, there are lot of articles in these forum which i have been reading, if you really want to earn .01 weekly, there are a lot of ways, PTC and such things like that, joining a signature campaign is one the best and popular.

We can't blame those people that are desperate to earn this big for a week and they wanted to be spoon feed all the time. But with your suggestion about PTC, it's only a dream that you can earn 0.1 BTC per week. And with signature campaigns there is no campaign that will pay this amount for a week but for a month.
We are not kids anymore, only kids do faucets, we have a good comprehension as we are already matured enough, thanks to bitcoin to that. Maybe as stay longer here, we have to learn how to take risk, seeing for 0.1BTC on a weekly basis by doing a job is surely a hard job to do. However, it is only possible if you can grow your money from your job, what you will do then is you trade your money and learn to improve your skills.
5616  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your gambling strategy on: February 15, 2017, 06:46:12 AM
My gambling is strategy is to used random bets. First i will bet smount amount and then if i won i back to my base bet but the first roll is lose. Then i will go all in so that the chance of winning will be still high. Then if win i. Early round. I already withdraw my profit then come again on the other day and enjoy spending my profit.

This is a good example of Gamblers Fallacy, you think that if you just lost a bet than the next have a higher chance of winning. In fact, your bets don't have any connection to each other, it doesn't matter if you have just lost or win, the next roll will be absolutely random and with the same chances of losing or winning as any other bets. What matters is that you will always have less chances to win and more chances to lose, some games will allow you to minimize your risk, but your expected value will still be negative.
Immature thinking like that will likely end your journey very soon, there are ways on how to stay in gambling as longer as we want and that is to be realistic and be discipline. If we are realistic, it is expected that we know the game very well, our advantages and disadvantages, and speaking of luck based games, there are no existing method that we can find to help us win in the long run, all are luck based.
5617  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you feel shameful for being a gambler? on: February 15, 2017, 06:12:55 AM
I have not really thought of it has shame has I have not done anything wrong or owe somebody some cash , so there is no reason for me to be shameful about gambling or being a punter.
Society doenst try to make you feel shameful?

Society is another factor, when you live in a place that's full of people that has a very bad way of thinking with gambling. That can affect you, your family and friends because we know that when a crowd shouts 'shame to you, gambler' that will make you feel that you don't belong to them and that's force shame.
If that is how they see it, then in the first place you would not be influence and will learn gambling. I don't know if there are really a community that hates gambling because for me it is just s pure game and entertainment. People can play if they want and they are not force to spend their hard earn money.
5618  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Most of the money on: February 15, 2017, 02:47:13 AM
Most of my earnings are from dice. The bad thing is that most of my losses are from dice as well. It's just so easy to play but the odds are on the side of the house of course.
You have to get used to it, that is how the game works. We earn sometimes but in the long run we lose, betting in dice can give us a good return especially if we are lucky but the longer we stay there, you can always expect that you will lose. Some earn by promoting a certain gambling sites through signature campaign but they still gamble their earnings thinking it will double, this act is better if you are expected to lose as no risk on your part.

they should stop promoting this scammy site.

If you look in to history of this thread, you will see that all accusations have been resolved. Every service have problems, that's why they have support and security sections.
Most of the websites reserves 30 days to explain the case and this is a normal practice.
It seems to me that accusing someone just because of a mistake or delay is very not fair.

The support has to take care of all the complaints and they do it by priority. I guess we can say that there are times that their support is not that fast but they are the only one who knows the reason behind, what is important is the problem is now resolved and people are now happy betting in the site.

The price is 5000 satoshi per post so 0.00005btc for every post
P.S : I know my actual post are low quality and look like spam,but i am not spamming. I writed short messages because thats all i had to say there. If somebody will buy the signature ,my post will have much better quality .
If you need any informations or any suggestions say it. I am a newbie with campaigns and signature space.
Thanks


I suggest you to check 2 threads with contain most of the bitcoin and altcoins signature campaigns:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=615953.0

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1566886.0
The problem is that tens and hundreds of people are applying for campaign and i have to wait more than a week to see if i am accepted or not. Sometimes it past 1 month and i dont get any response never
Well, you have to wait for the decision of the manager, but in my case, I do not experience to wait for a week just to get accepted. Most of the campaign managers here are very active and if they find you qualified for the campaign they manage then for sure you will be hired.
I guess you have to figure out what makes them not accept you, and once you figure it out, you have to improve what needs to be improve. You cannot prevent people from applying campaign as that is the norms here, competition is always present and you have to compete with them.
