5721  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you use analysis when play gambling? on: January 20, 2017, 06:57:23 AM
Yes ,it is needed especially in sportsbetting games that you need to analyze the plays on both team and who have an advantage to win .Poker also skills and analysis to win in a game and some of the other games are based on your luck .


Analysis give better insights about the event and suitable bet options to use. Luck is also needed because no matter how long you take to analyse a game, You'll be disappointed when it Still get lost. I remember playing two copies. One was fully analyzed (2hrs+ spent for analysis)  and the second copy, I played it quicky due to the little time left before the sportbet event starts. So I played the second copy with out any analysis of some sort. At the end, Only the second copy won. I'm not saying analysis aren't important/effective but Luck is also needed
I can't consider luck as part of my strategy as I cannot analyze it, the only thing I have is what I see like the statistics that is publicly published in the internet. It's only my basis to analyze but just like other gambler's experience, our analysis is not right all the time, however we still need to do it.
5722  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Sports Betting for You? on: January 19, 2017, 04:36:17 AM
I prefer to bet on sports rather than going straight to gambling and loss within few rolls. I love the excitement of betting on my favorite team and watching full match. Rather than profit i love those excitement and commitment i will have towards match if i have placed bet on it.  Cheesy
i also play gambling mostly on sports, but i have a serious reason for that, actually in my area gambling is illegal activity and one who caught playing will be put in prison and that why we also have no such casino where we can play different gambling games and that is the reason that i mostly play gambling on sports which i can play from a distance. and is more secure way of playing gambling.
What makes it legal is not because you are playing sports betting but because you are using bitcoin to bypass your law. I have no other favorite sports but sports betting, it's very entertaining and along the way you will learn how to cap games which makes your journey more exciting.
5723  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To Gamble or To Invest? on: January 19, 2017, 04:27:47 AM

but i am not in favour of to sell bitcoin in the present price because i think it is still good time to buy bitcoin because  we can see that bitcoin is still trading in a low price, as still there is too much potential in the price of bitcoin, and it can even cross 1200 USD level in current month. therefore i will like to say that still it is good time to buy and not to sell if you have already some bitcoin better is to hold it for the price increase.

If you do believe that bitcoin has the potential to rise more then just go straight with investing instead of gambling. You are going to make much more bitcoin in return after the long run and you could divest it anytime when the price is going up higher so this is probablythe est thing that you could do now instead of just keeping your bitcoin

It's like that you are going to invest first then go gambling after. So just invest with bitcoin and just let it grow until the market is still unstable just keep on working with bitcoin, so that whenever you are going to get good profit from waiting or for just holding. Then it's up to you if you want to celebrate your good day with gambling.
It's a good cycle, you should not do it together as your gambling activity might affect your investing activity, the worst part is when you are getting money from your investment and use it in gambling because you want to chase your loses their. Remember that when you are investing you are in the business and should be separate from your personal entertainment activities.

I think many of us do gambling for quick profit and since it depends on most of the time player lose all capital.So I would like to suggest gambler to use that bitcoin in trading and earn good amount of btc easily.If gambler can make profit from trading then they will leave gambling happily.
You suggestion is widely suggested by many smart people here, let us not forbid people from gambling but more so, let us educate them on the risk in gambling. One can make money with gambling but not most of us can do it, we should find our comfort in terms of making money and if we are not good in gambling, enjoying it can still be achieve, just treat it for fun.
5725  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why some people prefer Bitcoin over fiat ? on: January 19, 2017, 03:38:41 AM
Bitcoin is private, secure, transparent, tamper-proof, easy for international transfers. All these are much better than fiat. Of course I don't think bitcoin will replace fiat due to its limited quantity.

Yes it is, and that's the reason why some use it in their illegal activities and on things that they don't want their names to be exposed in public. It doesn't matter whether it replaces fiat or not, the thing is, you can use it in activities that you want as long as it is accepted.

Actually watching porn is not a crime, only that when you keep on watching it, you might end up looking for a real thing. So using bitcoin in paying your subscription in a porn site is just fine I think.

I see it as ease of doing transactions and it has nothing to do with morality and such values. Criminals will use bitcoin if they find that it is better than fiat currency but that doesn’t mean bitcoin is wrong or criminal’s currency. I am not favouring illegal activities but yes, bitcoin is far more useful for everyone and sadly for criminals too.

Something that is useful will be used for all kind of stuff, it is not the responsibility of the creator or users to supervise how it is used, computer are very useful and they are being used for crimes or crime related activities but we are not going to ban them because of that.
Bitcoin is money, while some said that money is the root cause of all evil which is not true. It depends on who uses it as it will not circulated when people are not interested in it. Bitcoin is very useful for both bad and good activities since it's anonymous and we can transact very fast, as in fast.
If a certain person uses this for illegal activities then it's his freedom and he should be accountable for it.
5726  Economy / Economics / Re: What is your best investment strategy? on: January 19, 2017, 03:11:15 AM
I don't have a ready-planned strategy because I believe that success is a life long journey. I kind of agree with the saying "We'll cross the bridge when we get there." I do have plans and goals in life but I'll work on it throughout life. At the time that I get to those events, I'm certain that I'm smart/wise enough to solve them. Right now, I'm still inexperienced in life so I can't really lay out the plans of my life.

We must still plan ahead and not just go with the flow. What if you're at the bridge but you didn't have a contingency in the event when you reach that bridge it is actually burning. So how would you cross that burning bridge? You can create short plans at first but have a long term one along with it, that would be a better idea.
Your investment plan must be comprehensive, identifying the risk and reward is necessary. You will see there's a good future with the investment you are venturing but since it's an investment, the risk is always present.

Risk management is very important as well, you have to effectively carry your plan so you will be able to get what you are expecting.
5727  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling problem on: January 19, 2017, 01:40:35 AM
Everyone takes responsibility about his decision at gamble and not at all. Its pretty complicated discussion.  Wink

Oh well you are right with it. And it depends to each individual on how they are going to take it seriously. There are people who are making gambling as a way to kill their boredom and there are ones who are making it for real living but whatever they are going to choose, problems will still come out in different circumstances.
At least I know what my purpose is, I cannot make gambling for a living and I have already accepted that a long time ago, I know my capacity and it seems like I am not making a profitable job if I continue fighting for it. Really hard to focus on money when gambling is really not for you, it's better to accept that it's only for fun so you can enjoy it.
5728  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you feel shameful for being a gambler? on: January 18, 2017, 05:59:21 AM
absolutely not,it's my money and I think I have the right to do whatever I like.Sometimes my friends and family advised me to stop gambling but I don't listen to them and continue to do gambling.I don't think gambling is illegal so I don't need to be shame.
I agree. We have the right to use our money whenever we want so basically there  is nothing to feel shameful about being a gambler. I love gambling and my family accept that truth. Sometimes, they evrn support me when I feel disappointed about my gambling career
Wow! I love your life dude, you have a very nice family for supporting your gambling activities. My family knows that I am gambling and they respected it but never had come a time that when I am upset they give me advise. I just keep my losing experience myself but share the blessings with them when I win.
5729  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin or gold? on: January 18, 2017, 05:43:36 AM
So for me to convert my wealth to bitcoin or gold I prefer to use bitcoin because it is continues increasing value and we can say it now and so if the 10 years come it would be high value.
Well, no doubt we are all wanting that to happen. It's the time element that is necessary for long term investors like us, we see the progress of bitcoin as it continue to increase and that convince us it will deliver a good price in the future.

Bitcoin and gold are both good investment but bitcoin on the recent market performance outplayed gold in terms of value appreciation, therefore for now bitcoin is very popular for us.
5730  Economy / Economics / Re: Reason why you should Buy bitcoin now on: January 18, 2017, 04:13:21 AM
Because it will continue to grow up more higher. I think It will be at 1,000$ or more in this month.
It seems the buying power is still strong if somebody has money, He should buy bitcoins now.
true I think the main reason to buy now because I'm sure the price will definitely go back to $ 1,000 in the near future. you can see bitcoin trading volume in the market is still very high, and it is capital
Good idea! Bitcoin is just warming up and it will surely at least test 1000$. Those who buy now and monitor the market will have their chance.
If you were able to buy when the price fall back is happening then you should be feeling good now. The price is rising again and it seems we are going to $1,000 again. I am not surprise with this because it happens in the past and my trust with Bitcoin is unwavering. Some has regret not to buy but I tell you I am happy with what I am seeing now.
5731  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to play gambling in a smart way? on: January 18, 2017, 03:35:30 AM
Play in the casino for entertainment only. Otherwise play only when you can get the edge.

Yes this what we should do when we gamble but the fact that we can't remove the real reason why we gamble, is to have profit when we play. Most of us are really running for the profit that we might get when we gamble, there's no doubt about it. And for those people who are just gambling for entertainment are the ones who have financial freedom. Just gamble what you afford to lose and that's going to be considered as a smart move already.
That's true, having a financial freedom will let you enjoy gambling more. You will not be tempted to seek for the profit since you already have a lot of money to spend. Clearly we have different mentality and gambling is certainly for entertainment purposes only for smart thinkers.

Losing is part of the game but with lack of self control, we will just aggravate the situation that will let us do some desperate moves of chasing bets.
5732  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Worst mistake in gambling on: January 18, 2017, 03:03:49 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

Apart from losing some small amounts to gambling, the most stupid thing I did was bepositing my BTC on a trading site having no previous experience in trading. Of course I lost all my money in one day. Fortunately it was not over 0.01 but still, that was stupid.
That's crazy, why you would deposit on a trading site without any knowledge with it? Good thing that you just invested 0.01 btc for it. I won't do that kind of act, I will invest to the things that I know and just gamble what I afford to lose. Surely it is already a lesson learned from you that don't just invest and deposit to the investments that you are not familiar.

Investing in trading is never a bad thing! Don't tell him that! At least he had a try at how to trade and had a feel for it. That 0.01 btc loss can be considered as part of the learning curve. Just go with it. Don't be afraid to lose a few bitcoins to learn. When you have the hang of it, you'll get more from your trading experience.

I didn't said that investing in trading is a bad thing. Did you ever read what I said? Investing into something that you are not familiar and you don't have knowledge on how you are going to grow it is surely a crazy thing. Where is the part that I've said that investing in trading is a very bad thing. It is not that bad that you are going to have that type of courage that you are not afraid to lose but still you need to make sure on what you are doing.
In the end our decision matters, it could be bad for the others but good for us and we don't care what they say if we see there's an opportunity in the investment we are making. Trading is like gambling but it's one of the best method to make profit since you have a basis on your prediction and it's not based on luck alone.
5733  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin can not replace fiat on: January 17, 2017, 01:40:24 PM
Bitcoin will not replace fiat, but it will become a secondary payment option next to fiat. In india, the government tried to convert people to digital payment and demonitized large value notes and its suffering from economic crisis. So there will be people who always love to use fiat.But due to bitcoin usage, fiat usage will get reduced considerably.

Yes India is a perfect example of bitcoin adoption but I'm pretty sure that India is going to fully depend on bitcoin. They can just see that bitcoin has a good potential so that's why India is good at treating it as a secondary payment or alternative investment for gold. It's really hard to think that bitcoin will ever replace fiat.
Yeah you're right there dude. Bitcoin most likely will remain as backup to the fiat system and there's really no way at the moment or in the next couple of years or decades that it would overtake this currency. I like the concept of cryptocurrency being a readily available option for users considering all benefits while maintaining the current system
Back up means bitcoin is the next in line, I don't think that's what in the mind of the government. For sure, they will promote digital currencies in the future to go with the moving technology but it's still their fiat or money that will be used. We will have our own world which we called as crypto world and communities are created for us to transact and communicate.

The government is aware of that, but they are just letting us do what we want, as in the end they still control us since we need fiat for bitcoin to be usable.
5734  Economy / Economics / Re: What percentage of people on Earth will own Bitcoin by 2020 on: January 17, 2017, 01:24:35 PM
Maybe 5-10% by now. But in 2020 it will increase to 25%. Cause not all business are still not accepting bitcoins on that time.we need 50 to 100 years before people will accept bitcoin.
That's a big number you are talking out there, I hope you have some reliable information as a basis of your analyzes. It' like 3 years from now, and it's a big increase that is almost impossible to happen. I don't say it will not happen but I think it's too much based on the current statistics.
5735  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Everyone looses in the long run on: January 17, 2017, 12:38:07 PM
Chances of being a winner of online gambling with bitcoin is higher if you are familiar of the game you are trying to bet specially when it has a great prices offered. But if you are playing with higher bets and easily wins with big prices in an instance like quick winnings, then you will be tempted to bet again and again thats why its the main reason everyone losses in the long run. If you ask me why? Its because you are looking for another big chances to win more bitcoin and you are not satisfied with what you won so you expected for more, but to think chance is not consistent and it only happens once in every situation.
In short, you have to eliminate the greediness inside of you, your method might be very well design but it will not be an effective one when you cannot execute it very well. Greediness is the main hindrance or problem for every gambler, we want to win very fast instead of doing it in a consistent way. As long as it is within ourselves, our chances will always be lesser than what we are hoping.
5736  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you can control your self when playing gambling? on: January 17, 2017, 06:16:09 AM
I can't control it, i always greedy to get more and more but bad luck always busted and get empty balance
Whereas i have planning to control and want to win small amount, control our emotional at gambling site is very difficult
Then don't deposit big amount or quit gambling if you cannot do that, it's not for all dude especially if you have a problem with controlling yourself. It's the only way to be safe, safe from losing more than what we can afford to lose, so as a responsible gambler you must learn that.
5737  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: January 17, 2017, 05:51:44 AM
There are two sectors in gambling, skill games and slot games. Skill games yes it's 50 - 50 chance because it purely depends on luck. And here if you go for a long run it is 0% chance of winning. Skill games we can not say exactly how much because it depends on your skill set. If you are a pro, you can make it up to 70 - 80. For me i don't know the percentage but it's profitable method.
LOL, such a nonsense! Huh Skill games is higher than 50:50, otherwise you would not win longtherm and no, skill games do not purely depend on luck Roll Eyes, luck games purely depend on luck!
It's very clear he has not really experience playing gambling all his life. He cannot even understand what is the big difference between a skilled based games and a luck based games. Skilled based games can be played relying on your luck but don't expect you will last in the game, your luck is not consistent compared to your skills, therefore we should develop our skills to increase our chances of winning.
5738  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: January 17, 2017, 05:36:20 AM
Bad game for the cavaliers, they played very poor and was dominated by the warriors in this game. They are dominated in terms or rebounding and the ball moves very well for the warriors compared to the cavaliers. It's a very embarrassing game for the depending champ, warriors once again proven their dominance against the cavaliers in regular season games. It's a different story when this team will meet again in the Finals.
Its either the Cleveland Cavaliers played bad today or they just want to hype up the game as most likely this 2 team (Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers) will again face off in the finals. The Golden State Warriors is pretty much on a roll this season with 34 Wins and 6 Loses while Cleveland Cavaliers have 29 wins and 11 loses.

I am not a fan of Cavs I'm very disappointed with their performance even though I know that they are playing not this type of plays. I don't know if this is just a bonus game for them to give for Golden State Warriors or some kind of mafia gaming. Or the fact that they really lost for this game. For sure the world of Cavs fans will be disappointed either.
There's no excuses for this game, the warriors outplayed the cavaliers and they deserve the credit just like what the cavaliers did when they played at their home. Still, we cannot call the cavaliers as a lousy player as the real battle starts in the playoffs. Way back, in the previous major games, the Spurs routed the warriors at home and that is more embarrassing but they improve their game and that is the trait of a champion team.

Maybe OP is trying to say that we must become a responsible gambler because we are the one who are most affected when the luck is not on our side , I believe that their is no harm in gambling as long as you know your limits, number one rule of all gambler don't gamble what you can't afford to lose
I'm sure it's not what he meant, he is sending warning of the possible outcome of our gambling addiction and it will certainly destroy our family if the situation will be aggravated. By thinking of your family's future, you will be convince that gambling would not give them the best you hope, and that is only possible if you are in the state of mind that you can still think clearly.
5740  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you feel shameful for being a gambler? on: January 16, 2017, 12:29:30 PM
certainly not !! , everyone has the right and his own destiny. the gamble we are also working. we thought of many ways to make money. gambling, trading, and other work are the same. we need energy and mind to make money. I love to play gambling. because gambling makes me happy.
but in joint family you will face such kind of problems, in joint family every one has to respect that give value to their elders and you are not free at all you have to follow the rusles and regulation of your family. and only then you can be part or your family and your family will respect you.
If you can not handle these problems, you'd better gave up on gambling. In my family, they usually think that people have a right to do what they want in order to gain some relax or some pleasure moment. That's why when I gamble, they only give me some advice how to control myself and some experience which comes from my grandpa. They never judge people about what they do or what they want to do.
That's more matured way of telling us what to do, your family respect your way of having fun and that means they trust you to play in a risky game. I grow up in a family of gamblers and non of the family members who resulted to doing something illegal just to finance their gambling needs, so I guess it only depends on how you accept gambling in your life. It's better to be open with the elders within our family so we can give some valuable advise.
