With a lot of gambling that is taking place plus the sigs are almost all gambling sites it is really hard to control it when you know you have a bitcoin to use. It is good for bitcoin economy but not for people. I guess managing is really that hard when temptation is near you.

That's right but you should try harder. I'm sure you know already from your own experience that you can't make money with gambling. Gambling is a good distraction so I think it's nothing wrong with spending/losing around 1% of your earnings on that, but you will never earn with gambling.
Losing a small percentage of your total income is just good if you are also enjoying in gambling, but with lack of discipline your loses may aggravate into a serious loses so you also need to be cautious to play on in gambling for fun and nothing else or more.
5762  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be considered as a Sickness!! on: October 10, 2016, 12:38:13 PM
Gambling is sickness if you re addicted gambler , losing your hard earned money and still coming back despite this. But if you gamble with small amount just for fun i don't think its so bad.

With gambling at the beginning everyone decides of placing small amount, but if winning take place then automatically mind becomes greedy and makes the gambler to go for big amount. This at times described as sickness as well addiction when the person doesn't have a mind to concentrate upon other activities similar to a day job.

Everyone start gambling with small amount only, but once they began to win their bet yes automatically they will increase their betting amount. Yes in that time everyone will become greedy, so in that time nothing will stop them, for this kind of people gambling is considered as sickness.
That is what you called being greedy in gambling, normally those who are looking for money in gambling become greedy and we know with that kind of attitude will not bring success, when you win you still want for more and when you lose you will really chase your bets.
5763  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling made for kids???? on: October 10, 2016, 12:34:24 PM
is gambling made for kids? NO. but can kids gamble or know how to? DEFINITELY.

kids know how to gamble, too but not on casinos of course. take POGS for example. it's played by having as much as possible POGS in a round and the one who have the most is the considered winner. Some schools even banned it because kids keep the Pogs they won from other players.

kids doesn't understanding the concept of gambling but they do know the concept of winning. you win in something, you get things.
Kids just gamble to have fun and maybe take the money if given the chance but that is not good for them since they are still in the stage that they have a limited understanding in life and since gambling is a very risky game, it should be played only by those people who are matured already and know how to manage the risk in gambling.

Kids just shouldn't gamble with real money. I feel that they will get their winnings and spend it on hotwheels or something. I am not saying that hotwheels aren't good kid toys but when they grow up they might have that mindset of spending their winnings on worthless items.

Kids have a better chance of managing their money with monopoly money. It isn't cool to see kids throw their life away at a young age.
Still not good to teach your kids on how to gamble, it will start with an entertainment then they will seek for a greater adventure, if a matured person can be addicted with gambling how much more the kids, I mean try to analyze that situation.

We are just a few weeks away from the start of the regular season but J.R. Smith is still unsigned. Lebron has at numerous times clearly stated that he wants Smith back with the Cavs and hopes that he could do the same what he did with Tristan Thompson last season. Aging as J.R. Smith might be, he still can contribute and be a game changer, especially for a team trying to defend their title.
I do believe that he can contribute big for the team as they have already a good chemistry, for the sake of making Lebron happy the Cleveland Cavaliers management will surely sign this guy.

Meanwhile, what I have notice now is that the Houston Rockets are getting better now under D. Anthony, it seems like they can compete with tough teams in the west with the way they play.
5765  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you were rich, would you still gamble? on: October 10, 2016, 12:24:37 PM
It is not important if you are rich or poor when you gamble near me more watchable thing is the purpose for what someone is gambling. If I say rich people do more gamble than poor will not be too much. Some people with money use their money to get profit while poor try to become rich. I was still gambling to make more money with already existed money.
Yes you are right, gambling is a disease that is difficult to overcome. no matter you are rich or poor if you had known gambling you will still do it, in every moment.
Gambling was never a disease, we have to understand that it is just a game we can play to have fun, although there is a money involve that we can see as a reward but we should not be trap by it and instead we should focus on the fun that we can get in gambling, rich people has more risk if they cannot manage gambling properly.
and that is there advantage they now or most of them knows the doff between having fun and being addicted thats why instead of busting their money they tend to just allow small amount and move away after its all done.

That is right. When the rich obtain the richness through wise decisions, I don't think so that the rich will let his/her money to be at risk of losing all in gambling. They know enough that gambling is very risky because of the house edge it has. Therefore, they only play money that they can afford to lose and winning for profit is not their gameplay -they gamble just for fun!

yes that is correct. if you know that the money that you'll be using comes from hard work, you'd think twice or even thrice about using it for gambling. although yes, gambling would be a lot more fun if you have money to burn, there are a lot of rich people that went broke or even went down in debts after they got addicted. so it doesn't really matter whether you are rich or poor, the effects of gambling addiction would pretty much be the same

You are truly right there mate. As a general rule, don't let anyone easily get your hard earned money. If you must, then let it be only a small portion of it. By the way, you can edit your reply here because it is inside the quote and your reply is not showing rightly because it has been enclosed with the quote. Thanks for agreeing to my post.
The point here is that rich do gamble because they have work a lot and they have a lot of money to enjoy, rich needs some kind of entertainment also as it is not easy to make money where you need to work hard for your business, but I believe they are good in managing their money and their emotions in gambling so they are fine.
5766  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do Girls also gamble? on: October 10, 2016, 12:19:47 PM
Many do and tend to get addicted just as easy as males do.
Ive see many high rolling women betting also.
But you can count them, men has big population of gamblers than women, but anyway the topis is just asking Do girls gamble? So with the statement of the many it has already proven that women do gamble.

Yup, they are just few and I sometimes think they won't use a girls name if they are gambling, they could also use a male's name... When it comes to addiction, I think it depends on how they bet, if they bet like a man, then there's a great chance that they will end up addicted,..

yeah i think the question has been answered already. it doesn't matter if men are more frequent gamblers or if men put in larger bets, the point is that girls DO gamble whichever way we put it. that's just the reality of it.

Correct. For me, gambling does not define gender. As long as you want to gamble, you are free to do so - especially in the advent of technology and bitcoin - where we can easily create an online casino account and deposit it with bitcoins in just few minutes. Well, I just don't know if I am right but there are really countries and cultures that never allowed girls to do gambling and I respect that fully.
Man gambling is a dangerous game and it can be for men and women as long as they have the capacity to gamble and maybe control themselves while in gambling, based on my observation there are a lot of men gamblers that are addicted with gambling while women just play for fun only.

Thank you for accepting me yahoo62278

Let us make this campaign a successful one. Smiley
5768  Economy / Services / Re: Komodo Signature and Avatar Campaign | Member - Legendary on: October 10, 2016, 07:21:37 AM

Is there any way a participant will be kicked out during the campaign? I noticed some of the participants are not making effort in posting.

Yes, we have two rules that must be followed:
- no spam
- min 25 posts during the whole campaign

i post a demand to up my rank in the list. how many time to update my statut?

You will have to fill the change rank form once, after that we will get the information. However, the spread sheet won't be updated until the very end of the campaign.

hi i would like to ask when will the docs be updated. the last update is sept. 20 so we can see if we are accepted. regards

That depends on the campaign manager, but there is nothing to worry about if you signed up with correct information and wear the signature.

We have stated that everyone is welcome to join our campaign... so we don't really "accept" people. We will only reject the people who do not follow the rules. So if you are on the spread sheet, you are in the campaign. You will get rejected only if:
- the information you provided was incorrect
- you signed up but didn't wear the signature
- you spam posts
- you failed to make 25 posts during the whole campaign


rules are easy to follow, if i'm not jsut tied to my current sig campaign, i would have joined. 25 posts is easy job for the participants, i can post that much in a day if i really wanted to.

anyway, i'm joining the twitter, newsletter and facebook campaign. hope to acquire some of these komodo later.

Good decision, thank you for supporting KOMODO, it will be success.
5769  Economy / Services / Re: [SIGNATURE CAMPAIGN] KING DICE - OPEN ! on: October 10, 2016, 06:07:30 AM

What I understand is that participants will get the max pay base on the policy below:

RATES

Legendary/Hero => BTC 0.1
Senior => BTC 0.075
Full member => BTC 0.05
Member => BTC 0.025


The symbol "=>"  means equal or greater than. But i will wait for OP response regarding this one. I think this is just a little bit misunderstanding about OP perception and me.
I hope OP will not be offended about my querry.


Maybe you are just making it complicated on yourself, the symbol has nothing to do, otherwise if there is no limit for the maximum post, this would be the best campaign ever.

Just saying. I am sure OP will not be offended as he loves an active member and the way I see it is that you are very active in this forum.


Edit : Maybe I should apply then.

I see this signature too complicated and a lot of rules, already menberi rewards too small but made complicated way, receive a payment every month again, .. Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

It is the standard rule of almost all sign campaigns and the rate is fair enough if you have a good math to count the rate.

Look at this :
Hero Member : 0.1 per month for 90posts = 0.0011xx per post
Sr. Member : 0.075/month = 0.00083 per post
Full Member : 0.05/month = 0.0005xx per post
Member : 0.025/month = 0.00027xx per post

And now please take a look at other campaigns, there are some other campaign have lower rate than this one. Anyway, you are newbie then why you complaining for something that you cant even participate on it?

The rate per post is not mentioned as the OP mentions minimum number of posts required as 90. Maximum number of posts per month is not mentioned.


it is true, there is no rule regarding max post and the rate listed is just the minimum profit you can earn on campaign because it is stated as equal/greater than the amount "(=<amount)".OP must clear the rate info because according on what i saw on the List, There is no max profit you can earn per month? and this signature campaign is just like coinsbank.


My application form if the rate is what i've expected above:

5772  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do Girls also gamble? on: October 09, 2016, 10:27:04 AM
Yes there are girls who are doing gamble in real life casinos. The only difference is they are not doing this heavily or intensive gambling like the men do. They are real fun seekers and most of them gamble for social interactions but large majority of men do with purpose of making money with it. This doesn't let us see girls very active as they don't do all the time but still do gamble at some level.
All they want is just to have fun of course, girls are not really good in gambling because they are not clever as men are. They can easily be deceive as they use more on their emotions rather than brains.

5774  Economy / Economics / Re: I have 12 BTC in my Account, How should I invest this?? on: October 09, 2016, 10:18:02 AM
Invest it in an altcoin where you can see that it has potential to go up  in the future. This is a long term investment but it will surely give you high profit in the future.
Good idea, you can participate in the ICO and if you feel such coins is good then you will invest without hesitation.

KOMODO is good this time, so if you want to consider, you can participate the ICO.
5775  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To Gamble or To Invest? on: October 09, 2016, 10:14:06 AM
gamble, better i play my money by myself than i invest it to people or site which i don't really know , but different story if invest in something liek gold , or maybe land , etc
I would not gamble. Investing is the way to go.
You will make so much more money and all it would take is you being patient and waiting a month or two. Bitcoin is going to rise very soon.
For me you will really earn money if you trade for a year or many years, because in trading we need more more patient for us to earn. Unlike gambling we just need a minute for us to lose or win.

You can lose/earn lots of money in gambling and trading in very short time, especially if we're talking about forex trading Roll Eyes
Both of them needs skill, patience and experience if you want to earn profit.
You can earn there but the really question there is are they sure that they can make lots of money in gambling and trading every day? or short tradng term? especially when you are in hurry you will do not know what really happened you need some patience and right experience when it comes of trading and gambling.

when it is about investment, if you dont have the patient, then you better dont thinking about investing. Any investment is talking about going in for the long. You need time to weather any ups and downs in order to get the profits.
Investing needs patience because you cannot grow your money overtime.

If you cannot wait then that is the time to resort for a riskier way to grow your money and that is gambling, but the risk is high so you need to accept whatever the outcome is.
5776  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: is gambling fix your life? or wreck your life? on: October 09, 2016, 10:11:25 AM
gambling one day never makes me happy because gambling has given me a lot of money one day .but also never made me lose all the money I had. we can only conclude gambling on the day of the incident.
so after what the results bring you mate ? if we are talking about big wins or big losses maybe you are correct but if we are dealing with everyday gambling or addiction it will surely wrecked our life in the long run.
Gambling daily is not good because you will be addicted and with the chance of winning that will become lower and lower, you will not enjoy gambling on that situation and will end up blaming gambling for your failure in life.
5777  Economy / Economics / Re: I have 12 BTC in my Account, How should I invest this?? on: October 08, 2016, 08:13:42 AM
If you a faster way to earn and you are a risk taker, just gamble that amount in sports.

However, if you want to be safe just invest it in a gambling sites, they are making good money and the trend has been consistent.
5778  Economy / Economics / Re: When do you buy Bitcoin ? on: October 08, 2016, 08:10:52 AM
I'm buying bitcoins when the price is good and when I have a good feeling about the bitcoin itself, if this is not the fact I will not buy.
As a example I would not buy it right now because the price is too high to buy it..
i have never bought bitcoin. I do various jobs online,including participate in signtature campaign and get paid by bitcoin. I think it is not wise to buy bitcoin right now because its price is not good
By saying price is not good means are you trying to say that price is higher? And if yes then I don't think that current price is too high, its a good price to buy bitcoins as price will be much higher in future.
When you buy bitcoins, make sure you are convince that the price is low. Study well and have your purpose when buying and not just buying because others told you.
5779  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The best way to quit gambling for good on: October 08, 2016, 08:07:07 AM
there is no best way of quitting gambling for good available in the world

any way that you choose is going to be messy and hard. so prepare yourself for a long period of agony and hard work to quit gambling.
I agree, although there is way to stop playing gambling, it needs much time and discipline. In my opinion we must change our mind of aim gambling because gambling games are just for fun and entertainment if we can not stop playing gambling.
Be responsible and always think of your future, it is better to be proactive that reactive and prevention is better than cure all the time. Gambling addiction is serious problem so better to quit while it is still early.
5780  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can gambling be considered a "high risk investment"? on: October 07, 2016, 01:15:18 PM
anything related to gambling, it has a big risk. but in my opinion, it should, if as an investor it can always be profitable. Because of what? because the owner of the house always wins. proof that they can survive for a long time. if they always lose I think they would quickly go bankrupt.
Yes actually can be said another name of risk because your money is in stake.And if you are talking about high risk investement which is dont either to get quick profit and has a chance of loosing as well which is pretty similar in gambling.So i guess yes it can be considered as high risk investement.
Everyone really think that gambling is a high risk investment, well I would say no, gambling guarantees your profit because the house always wins. That is the very simple explanation I can give to you and I know you know what I mean.
