You made 0.046 before you lost. If you had just done a 50/50 you would have had a better chance and you would have won 0.056. Because you lost you may as well had done a 50/50 then at least you have half a chance and you save 12 hours .....


AFAIK dice games never be on 50/50 because there is still.house edge which mean you will not have 50% chance on 2x odds, moreover OP play on that freebitco.in, what I do know that their site have higher odds so that means you eill have higher chance to lose rather than winning there
Gambling maybe give you 50/50 chance to win but in Dice, hmm I don't think it goes that way.
Every sites have their own script and like OP said, if they decide to screw you it's game over.
No one could always win, moreover in the long run against the house, it had been created like that.
It was never a 50/50 chance of winning as the house edge is the difference, most gamblers think that dice gives them equal chances but they failed to check on their long term chances. They will only feel it when they experience gambling and I have not known any person who are successful in dice gambling for the long run.
5802  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is this what we called "addictive to gamble"? on: November 14, 2016, 02:02:04 AM
we know that most of the times we lost on gambling, but instead of stopping we keep on playing for the next day

after we lost, we got frustrated but we still back to play, is this called "gamble addiction"?

Nope for me it is not addictive to gamble yet. It is normal for people especially those who have big bankroll that if they lose  they will bet again trying to recover all the losses. You can say someone is addicted if the people is borrowing money just to be able to gamble again and if people makes gambling the most important thing in the world. Then they really are addicted.
I hope we will not experience that kind of craziness that we will have to borrow money just to fund our gambling addiction. The basic principle of gambling is only gamble what you can afford to lose and since you borrow money it would simply mean that you cannot afford what you just gamble.

It's not an entertainment anymore but a competition in your part and you are trying to beat the unbeatable gambling house.

So happy I found this site, I love the live bets of NBA. It offers a lot of odds that we can choose from. I guess I will be hooked in this gambling site and will leave my current site for good. I am taking Lakers +11.5 now @1.92 odds, seems a very good odds for me. BOL everyone!
5804  Economy / Economics / Re: Does the Price of Bitcoin Matter? on: November 13, 2016, 01:59:59 AM
I depend on what you are doing with bitcoin. If you're investing in it, then yes. Because you need to maximize the price of bitcoin to get a profit in investing in it. However, if you are just exchanging bitcoins and buying stuff after, then you don't need to mind the price.
Exchanging your bitcoin for products or services is a way to trade your bitcoin and in any trade the price is important, when I want to buy something with bitcoin I wait until I see a price rise that way I get more bang for my bitcoin.


Yeah price is an major concern in bitcoins as our actions will depend only on the price of bitcoins, as everyone follows the simple rule buy low and sell high, as no one will prefer to sell their coins at  lower price then they bought, so I think price of bitcoin really matters each and every bitcoiner.
I understand we are not all traders or investors here, so the demand is not solely base on us. It's base on the entire need of the market, the people in the gambling industry are one of the demand creators, people coming in to gamble with bitcoin and they are increasing as they see bitcoin is very easy to use and no limitations at all.
5805  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you want to become Rich you need to Put Higher bets on: November 13, 2016, 01:54:31 AM
I think that higher bets to become rich, only makes sense if you make only 1 bet (an not with all your money). If you keep playing with big bets the most provably its that you run out of money very fast.

Do you think people who got this intention of becoming rich by gambling ways will stop after losing that first big bet? I don't think so because after that big loss they will surely try for at least to recover back thier lose and end up losing more and more money. As per me, if you go with bigger bets then you will become poor very fast than becoming rich.
Putting big bets means you are already rich because in the first play you need to gamble what you can afford to lose. It's the basic principle of gamble a gambler should understand, and he can bet big that simply mean he is a professional gambling willing to put a bankroll for his desire to win bigger amount.
5806  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you were rich, would you still gamble? on: November 13, 2016, 01:47:52 AM
If I were rich, I'm not going to gamble. The money we have should not be used arbitrarily,
but we'll use for the versatile or the other better. Too many gamblig will wreck your life.
but to me if i was rich i will still play gambling as i am addicted of gambling and i think it is one of the most difficult job to stop gambling when one become addict of it, it do not matter that either you are a rich or poor person.

As long as you think it is a difficult thing to come out, then it is difficult, or you never made up your mind to come out from gambling. Because if you decided not to gamble then, you could find many good ways to spend your free time and can stop your gambling easily like spending more time with family, friends and in outdoor activities. Only thing is you should decide first not to gamble then it is possible.
Gambling if been done as a past time and not really in an addicting ways i think even rich people still playing little by little if getting chance because even in their spare time they still have some luxury to enjoy the game.
Should be done as your past time since it's very risky to give a lot of time in gambling, there should be a balance living on your side and it's okay to enjoy sometimes but not to fall trap of the gambling rewards as you cannot get it when you do not have the talent or the skills. You should be born lucky to be able to win.
5807  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: November 13, 2016, 01:43:11 AM
Toronto will win against New York Knicks but I'm looking for a satisfying odd. Right now Toronto -5.5 odd is 1.63, they should open Toronto -8.5 and make it 1.90 odd. That's when I play for that, not for this little odds.
Utah Jazz is going very well, they should beat Miami. San Antonio is favorite against Houston Rockets.
The way the game goes, I see the value is on the Knicks and I take them live at Moneyline.. I believe they are more hungry of a win now and trying to prove they are a legitimate team.

Very exciting game for tonight. I also like the bulls and the Wizards game, but the live is not good for the bulls as they are 10 points favorites.

5810  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: November 11, 2016, 03:18:18 AM
I think it is definitely wiser to invest it. If you just hold your savings, then you still have a risk of say, a bank run, or the currency itself depreciating in value. You can however hedge against that with smart investment choices. This is why investors, but not savers, are the richest people in the world. Also, investing means that you are helping other people to get their projects started. It's a win-win situation, if you pick the right investments to aim at.
Investing is always the better option since with saving alone you won't come anywhere with interest rates being on an all time low. On top of that you also face the issue of fiat losing value.

But you have to know where to invest. If you look at how people here seem to invest, then I can't really call it investing since it has more similarities with gambling.

Aside from that, the majority of the people don't really care whether their investment in a certain project or start-up helps them our or not. They just care about the potential returns.
Yes fiat currency tends to lose their value because of inflation and that is why even if banks have interest it tends to be eaten up by Inflation because the Inflation Rate is greater than the Interest of a bank saving account. Meanwhile in Investing they not only defeat the Inflation Rate but it also gives you a chance to be a rich person because saving your money in an Investment can really pay off big in the long term mind set.
Investing is risky but it will give you a higher rewards, think of that always and investing is only for people who are willing to take the risk in making money. If you do not belong to the group, just save your money until it lessen it's value.

Save only for emergencies but invest if you aim a comfortable life in the future.
5811  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading is unpredictable job. on: November 10, 2016, 02:48:18 AM
I can really say its also gambling since chances to lost some money is occuring if we stepped on wrong selection, and trading is super unpredictable since we really don't know what will really happen for the price on the hours or days past, and also we can actually earn some profits everyday on tradings if we can have an alternative coins to trade are, just widen your vision to other potential crypto theres scattering and surely you can earn with that if you do some wise choice for tradings.
Not just only in gambling nor in trading, when we are unconsciously taking wrong step might be leading into losses. It may happen anywhere as our decisions and steps are very much sensitive to affect the final result. As trading is highly sensitive and high risk involved business, we must be conscious all the time to avoid any unexpected mistakes.

Even we are conscious as we trade it can still might to lead us into loss because it is a very unpredictable way of getting some good profit. But the more aware on how you are trading then the higher chances of getting good output from it. And this is a continuous way of learning because every single day there is a movement and you need to know how it goes.
That's already known to every trader, the risk of losing is their as it's not one way, in every trader that loses it's money there's also trader that make money on that. So it's either they lose and you make money, or vice versa.
5812  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to stay away from gambling? suggestions ? on: November 10, 2016, 02:28:54 AM
I think it a bit ridiculous... There is no reason to spend all your money in one thing that makes you lose money.

If you aren't making profit, just go away, don't play anymore. If you can't do this simple thing, sorry,
but you are a weak person and should look for special treatment, like a psychiatrist.
Going to a Psychiatrist does not guarantee that you will stop Gambling, but it is the best solution together with Rehab also having time with your family can actually make you feel better. And also keep your mind distracted away from gambling to prevent you to even think about gambling, as your mind is only tempting you to do gambling again.
Your family would be a great help because it's a different way on how the Professionals care to the patient that your own family. Your family understands you especially your parents but you gotta be honest with them and submit yourself to fully change.
5813  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be considered as a Sickness!! on: November 09, 2016, 04:24:56 AM
Addiction is sickness and that is one of the hardest sickness that can be on treatment.  And too much is consider as sickness just like those people who are very addict with gambling and I would say because of it you will be having hard time cure yourself. Unless someone will help you to treat your own sickness that doesn't have cure.
It's more on a mental sickness that might effect into physical sickness when your addiction is too much. We have to be very careful with gambling as it can destroy lives if we are not being careful. Understanding is what matters so we can minimize the risk by properly managing it.
5814  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Often Do Gamblers Really Win? on: November 09, 2016, 04:08:10 AM
I will say still large number of gamblers are winning often but if we compare this number with those who loose more then there will be difference. What I have seen in physical casinos many people wins in short term but they don't have full stop at their greed or limit of making money and they end at loosing.

You say at the end they lose back to the house for whatever reason than I don't call them winners but they also in the list of losers. If you withdraw your money when you win then consider it as a winner. As per me gambling should be played only for fun and entertainment and shouldn't be used or counted how many times we lost and wins.
It's just a temporary win but that is good for us as we do celebrate whenever we win. It is the happiest day of our lives when we win and though we lose in the long run but what is important is we can experience some win in our life also. If you want profit you invest in gambling sites and that is the only option.
5815  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: November 09, 2016, 04:02:05 AM
USA: NBA :
Cleveland Cavaliers vs Atlanta Hawks => I think that caleveland will win the game , and it will be the seven win successively after six win against : Philadelphia 76ers , Boston Celtics , Orlando Magic , Toronto Raptors and Houston Rockets .
It will be a big night for Lebron James and his teammates.

Sorry but you lost, Atlanta Hawks got it with a final score of 110-106 Cleveland. It is not a big night for Lebron and his team mates it made them discourage about losing with Hawks.
For sure this will make the clevelands on the rage mode for their next games with other team.
i really can't believe this i lose my parlay bet oh well nba really sucks when it is in the early stage better yet to keep searching for much better game
i will make a rebound i still believe with cavs and i will chase every game that they will play and bet with them together with san antonio.
It's not a surprise dude, you are just surprising yourself. Remember that you are in NBA where amazing happens.
5816  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be considered as a Sickness!! on: November 08, 2016, 03:05:35 AM
Gambling is risky game of money from which most people lose and just a few wins. Gambling too is addictive and fun especially when you're winning and that's why most people can't get away from gambling once they get in it.
In gambling you only win from the start then you lose whenever you win a certain amount.

Well, i agree with you. That's why you need to control yourself when do gambling. Some people can't control himself for gambling and the end people complaining about gambling.

Gambling can be considered as a sickness when a person cant control him/herself and spent most of his/her time and money just for gambling. If we do gamble more and more with no control and forgot the other things in our daily life, the end result will be very bad.
More like, a person has a sickness and not gambling.

We give life to gambling when we play it but do not let gambling take our life because we all have the control and we are presume to be responsible enough when in gambling.
5817  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: In Gambling any one got cheated by house? on: November 08, 2016, 03:02:17 AM
It's hard to believe a big website like PrimeDice would ever cheat. That feel you got is actually because you've been unlucky. The house edge doesn't cheat on you, but imagine having your own casino and letting all players win. Your business would bankrupt in the next moment.
They would not do that as they are making millions with the huge bettor who patronize their site. What is important to them is their reputation and they are protecting that to the highest level. They are winning not because they cheat but because they have the house advantage.
5818  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does martingale really works? on: November 08, 2016, 02:58:48 AM
I can say with full surety about my experience with martingale in dice specifically where it is used mostly and is watched in this regard in gambling. It never worked for me and what I have read so far I came to know most of the players have answer in negative about its effectiveness. Martingale or anything else don't work as strategy in gambling.

Most people  here  have   experience on  using   martingale   because they already  know  the effect and   results when   you  do  use  it. Martingale does  work  on the  first time sometimes  and   you could able to gain profits with it  but  when greediness of  yours  comes   you would surely  get busted  on the long run.
not most people i think , but everyone have tried martingale and it is never work.
never work in the long run , you might receive a good winning in short period.
but once you do it continuously , the house edge always take your money away.

It's not the house edge, but you'll reach an impossible amount in just a few beers by starting even with $1. Doubling down your amount every bet is TOO risky and cannot earn you much profit. If you lose, you're down a lot.
I am surprise it works for me, I have not been using martingale method in dice but more like in sports betting. I have always bet on the favorites regardless of their odds, and martingale like 5 times. For sure a good team will not lose 5 in a row, in every loss they are due for a big win.
5819  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The House always wins. on: November 08, 2016, 02:55:35 AM
If the house would've lost many times, gambling wouldn't have been a business right now. This is how the owners of the casinos are making money, but it's also our fault for never managing our money and controlling ourselves.
Simple analysis but it's true, gambling sites which has a house edge are in business to make money and since we are their clients they are definitely making money from us. It's not necessary that they need to win all the time but most of time is already enough to make them profitable.
5820  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do Girls also gamble? on: November 08, 2016, 02:47:27 AM
Yes, im wondering how to stop my Girlfriend from being addicted in gambling , she always wants to bet even in a horse race. We both go in a horse race just to watch the race but after we reach that destination she always betting in number 2, wonder why always 2 because that's our anniversary dude. jeez, she think I'm an ATM . any suggestion how to stop her addiction in gambling? even in poker i can't stop her. it always ended up in a fight. 
Wow its nice he always think and bet date of your anniversary .The only bad thing is she is addicted on gambling and believe me it is not to easy for her to convince to lessen first her gambling activities then after is to stop it. The better thing for you to do is explain it to her that she is addicted into gambling and consult it to his parents for some help and guidance .

Yeah, indeed to get out of gambling is something very hard to do. The cause of addiction in gambling have in common with addiction to drugs, but it all can be healed with the help of people near addiction of gambling. And better indeed girls don't use gambling for girls is the main Foundation in a lineage or character-forming the next generation of human beings in the future. If they do something negative then in future there will be negative effects also
But I don't think girls will be having similar problems to quit gambling. Because, usually girls are more determined and having more stronger will power. By using  few of these types of characteristics, usually girls to come out of any unwanted things even before getting addicted to them.
In my country girls do not go for gambling houses but surely doing it through online sites.
Because they're determined, it's even harder sometimes for them to quit it. You just said the opposite: it becomes hard for them to quit gambling! Come on, we all know it's hard to accept we lost money on nothing.
It's hard to accept when you be the amount of money that you cannot afford to lose. I guess you need to understand that gambling is a risky game and when you enter in it, you should already accept that you will lose your money.

If you don't enjoy, that is when you complain.
