Have anyone profited out of dice in the short or long term. I have been trying the best and lost all, I can't leave it. Once after I loss I have gone beyond my ability. Finally as the wallet got emptied, I bought bitcoin particularly for betting and lost even the amount earned from my day job. I used to experience win, but at the end it is a loss. I miss the right time to stop and leave. Cry Cry Cry

There is a lot of tragedy in your experience and this might be the story of many gamblers here. You need to understand that you can win in gambling only if you have a proper plan. If you just come and play with hope to win and no plan on what to do on the loss, you can never recover.
If you are forced to invest more money to recover your loss, then this means that you have lack of any backup plan.
5982  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The Things That Comes Into Your Mind When Winning... on: September 29, 2019, 06:04:08 AM
It depends on the won amount,if it was really high then I will stop betting on that day and surely will spend most of the money by that day itself.If its just the decent amount or merely less than our lost money then simply risk that amount on betting again to make more.
Yeah when people win high amount to become satisfied but some people make mistakes to gamble again at the moments. As when I win I try to increase my amount and the only thing I think about is to win more and more but its not good we should limit our earning being good gambler is one of the best feeling.
That’s what you called greediness mate.cannot be contented in good amount of winnings instead always looking for more and more that’s why even if they are winning in the start up to mid,in the end losing is what they’ve got

If you want to win in gambling the learn to control Your eagerness and small winnings is enough than looking for higher but cannot be done
Greed always accompanies and makes me to spend a amount higher than what I spend on the previous roll. Another thing I used to keep a target and play which the reason for most of my losses. In simple when I start I used to fix we need to win 0.0005btc and stop, but I earn 0.00042 btc and by that time losing starts and to recover the loss I used to increase the bet value. This finally ends up with empty wallet.

Also the frustration starts to creep in , if we start losing in gambling. I used to adopt the same technique in my games but later i realized it is  unrealistic as we cannot win the predetermined amount which we thought in our minds.
These days i just quit as soon as i get the profit. I do not care even if the profit is few dollars. I quit and come back the next day.
5983  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does Martingale strategy increase your chance of winning? on: September 28, 2019, 03:06:40 PM
Martingale strategy is not ideal to be used for a long term betting. It lessens your chance of winning and would only lessen the amount of money you have. The house edge always wins when you gamble. In my personal opinion it maybe profitable for only a number of bet. I would stick on my own gamblig strategy and let instinct and luck play its part. That way I can enjoy gamblig more.

You cannot win in gambling if you go with a long term strategy or plan. It does not matter which strategy you use, you should cash out your profits as soon as you get them. Sometime i win because of luck and sometimes i decide to play Martingale strategy but the important thing i ensure is to take profits as they come and do not unnecessary lengthens the gambling games.
5984  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why Choose Lottery Instead Of Anything Else? on: September 28, 2019, 02:31:32 PM
The simplest reason I can think of is that lottery requires small amount of bet yet high return, it even simple to play. The small bet is the more people would play the game simply because anyone can afforf it and others only plays the amount they can afford to lose. However, you really need a huge amount of luck just for you to win.

Whats the purpose and use of small bet when you cannot gain anything from it. Apart from the few exceptional cases, i never seen anyone wining a lottery. It is like that you invest something in which you know there are only 1% chances of wining. If you are a part time gambler, only then you can choose to try your luck with lottery otherwise you should avoid it.
5985  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online Cock Fighting on: September 27, 2019, 06:56:42 PM
You says not entire true because as far i remember there are two different type of cockfighting in the world and on Philipines and Mexico the people at there use small knife as a tool and usually those knife put in between chicken legs and it can kill rapidly the chicken while fight but in Thailand mostly people at there didn't use special tool and it's pure of chicken fight and rare to see the animal dead in the middle of fight so if the chicken give up or run away then the match will ended
We have also that here in the Philippines but the famous one is the one that has a small knife as a tool. The other one was extremely long to wait, you need a patient here since there is no small knife. The only enemy here is the time, there's a limit of time and as long as both the cock are fighting and no one is running and the fight is going on.
The money on that kind of fight is slow and that is still good because the risk is very low since every fights here takes so long.

How cruel is that....
This also means that one cock has to die for the match to finish ?  Also the other cock who win and is alive will have so much wounds.
If i had some authority, i would have immediately ban such cruel sports.
5986  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Aigar Network Crypto Community [Official] on: September 26, 2019, 05:52:13 AM
So what will happen to our BTW coin? Any news when the swap will take place?

the OP says there is a swap of 60BTW to 1 ALGAR and wait for further announcement. but what would be the main difference from the old bitwhite project aside from fresh code? is there a list of possible apps in the market?

Same questions on my mind.
Are we still dealing with a BTC fork or this has taken on a whole new life of its own? A simple comparison table between Aigar and Bitwhite would go a long way in shedding more light on the issue. Should we also be expecting an updated WP?

This is a completely different project with a different blockchain, a different platform and a different idea.

Is this swap compulsory ? I mean after the swap will both Bitwhite and Aigar co-exists or we will only have Aigar coins ? What will happen to the coins stored in web wallets. Will the swap be automatic and what will happen to the remaining coins which are not swapped. Will the team burn those coins or not ?
5987  Economy / Gambling / Re: FortuneJack has a problem in Dice game on: September 26, 2019, 04:42:08 AM
It's pretty nuts that nobody noticed this even though it was a persistent issue for years. I'm curious to see how much extra Fortunejack made from this and what they will do to reimburse the effected players. Given that this issue dates back years it will be extremely difficult to even figure out who was effected and to what degree, but given this level of error they should really spend some time to get this right.

I am sure this was not done deliberately and this bug has just been figured out. Obviously they cannot compensate the players for this but the good thing is that they have accepted it and will update it. Also the new bug bounty announced by fortune jack is yet another step towards transparency and good faith.
5988  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The End of Crypto Signal Groups on: September 22, 2019, 06:08:08 PM
You are right, signal groups are currently dying a slow death. Finally.

Anyways, I skimmed through your article. You should rather tag it as an advertisement, the headline is only covered in a few self-repeating paragraphs, the way larger part of the article deals with the benefits of social trading platforms like yours. Social trading is just another way of luring people who should definitely not trade into trading with false promises in my opinion.



Crypto Signal Groups are already dies out as there is no signals which can be given in the current market. The altcoin market is almost dead. However i do think that once we will have a bull run again, then again we will see lot of signals groups coming up and demanding small fee for their so called premier signals.  Cheesy
It is better to learn trading yourself, rather than giving these scam trading signals group money to get fake signals.
5989  Economy / Economics / Re: Forms of converting cryptocurrencies into cash on: September 22, 2019, 06:00:57 PM
Forms of converting cryptocurrency to cash or fiat is made possible by the cryptocurrency merchants. There are cryptocurrency merchants in almost every country helping in the conversion of cryptocurrency to fiat and vice versa. Also, trusted escrow services can be of great use if merchants do not work on a 24/7 basis.

Converting from fiat to crypto and vice versa is not difficult at all as you will always find buyers and sellers of bitcoin everywhere. You can use localbitcoins.com or any of your local exchange or you can even search for people who live nearby you whom are willing to buy your bitcoins for cash.
5990  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Marketing And Religion on: September 22, 2019, 04:42:36 PM
Then it looks like indeed promoting a gambling site is forbidden by Sharia.

But I want to say that that only proves once again the incompatibility of old religions with modern day life. If you work as a taxi driver, a pilot, a train driver or a captain of a passenger ship, and you say to someone "Sorry, I can't transport you because you have alcohol with you.", you will be fired immediately. Or, if you are an electrician and you are called to a restaurant to fix something for them, you can't accept the payment, if they sell alcohol and/or pork because "He also forbids its price". WTF?



Why do want to make things complicated here. If we think so deep then there will always be something which will not be allowed and we might end up stuck.
In the above example. the electrician and taxi driver will not be doing the sin because they themselves are not alcoholic and they are not responsible if anyone is selling or drinking alcohol.
5991  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reasons Crypto Players Skip Casinos with KYC on: September 22, 2019, 04:24:40 PM
It is correct that it is the reason why crypto players skip casinos that has KYC implemented in it. If they are in a country where it is not legalized gambling then they can't play in that site. If the site is compromised then their personal data might be compromised or get stolen.

Most of the gamblers are playing gambling illegal as it is either not considered good in their family/friends or it is prohibited in their country. But the online gambling has given easy way to bypass all these restrictions and play gambling anonymously.  But now few of the sites have made KYC compulsory, this has lead to uneasiness among those gamblers who do not want to disclose their identity and remain hidden.
5992  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling as a profession: there's people who live out of gambling? on: September 22, 2019, 12:32:21 PM
It is all about the interest on one field, if the person is wishing to have gambling as their passionate job then they need to cultivate them to be good gambler and make money out of that with his or her strategy.
Mostly people not getting that luck factors works on their side, if there is the best way to make money in gambling means such gamblers may reveal that to us.


Gambling is never been a job. A job could not be so risky that you don't even know that by the end of the day you will gain anything from it or simply lose all your money.


snip~
Gambler professionals are not poor they have other businesses elsewhere. and doubling their money in a unique way and they believe they can double it. but if you risk all the money and only hope with luck I think it is not worth emulating and not the least that ends in losing everything.
a healthy gambler is a gambler who has another business,
and healthy business people are not addicted to gambling, they know when to gamble, and when to stop,
My ex-boss is a gambler, once a month he goes to Macau just to play gambling,
he said "gambling is my side profession", he is not greedy and able to control himself,
when running out of capital at the gambling table he will stop and not force it to have to sell assets.


I would suggest that a healthier businessman is the one who plays gambling part time and not the other way around. If you play and take gambling as your main job or business then you are not doing good with yourself. You should find a better reliable way to earn consistent income.
5993  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Most of gamblers are rich or poor? on: September 22, 2019, 11:10:24 AM
I have not more experience about the gamblers financial condition. Because I am not meet any real life gamblers face to face yet. But my idea is most of the gamblers are middle families and they are mostly addicted with alcohol and other such type of addiction. They go to casino for being rich in short time and some of them get rich and some of them lost Everythings. Its the reality I think . 

I think gamblers belong to all the classes and are not limited to middle class only. I know some gamblers who are very rich and therefore they gamble for fun only. They have so much extra money that even if they lose some portion of their money in gambling, that will not hurt them.
It is only the middle class or lower class people who take gambling seriously as they cannot afford to lose the money in gambling. These people play gambling with care and if they lose, that will really effect their lives.
5994  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How many times have you gone against majority on: September 22, 2019, 10:57:03 AM
Many times, I do this whenever I'm in the mood and had a small amount to bet and doesn't care whether it will win or lose. I just want to feel the thrill.

So what is your percentage of winning or losing when you go against the majority ? I tried it few time but failed most of the times. The Majority of the bets are placed on the ones gamblers think will win based upon the past performances, and it is very rare the upsets happen and the less favorite team wins.
Unless you are the one who like to take the risks, it is better to stick with the decision of the majorities.

I think he lost a lot betting on that.

I did try that and most of the time I lost.

I did win and that really satisfied me but I did not do that again. Taking higher risk really give you higher rewards gives higher thrill and excitement but that is still high risk and you will usually lose because of that.

When everyone is losing they why take risk ?
In most of the bets it is better to go with the majority but sometimes it can go well in your favor if you are selective in choosing which match you will go against the majority. Also do not spend big amount as those bets have higher odds.
5995  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which Online Casino has the Most Fun Games? Recommendations? on: September 22, 2019, 10:34:03 AM
Like many of you, I've been struggling to find genuinely fun games to play at online casinos.

I've already gotten tired of crash type games, so have moved onto quirky card games.

I'm currently having fun playing Bankers Bull at BetHash, but looking to try out some other cool games too.


Any recommendations?

The fun games at the gambling sites are not very popular. Most gambler prefer to play the traditional gambling games like Dice, Mines, Roulette , Wheel and poker games. There are few sites which offer story based gambling games but these are not so popular and most of the time it will be impossible to win such games.
5996  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BAKKT launching tomorrow but BTC price falls? on: September 22, 2019, 06:59:23 AM
Why isn’t the official launch of BAKkT driving btc prices up but instead it’s going the opposite way?

Are investors afraid of a massive dump coming up or what are the possible reasons there isn’t any traction for BTC price ?

I guess no one is really excited about bakkt, or there are manipulators behind and push the price a bit so that they can buy cheap coins prior to the bakkt launch. Anyways, this bakkt offering is long overdue and people are not that very enthusiastic and eager to say the least. But we will see the impact in the long run though, it's supposed to be the next catalyst for a bull run so let's stay relax for now and see how it goes.

As always is the case, before every bull run we see an unexpected dump. Lets hope this is the last dump and we move upwards after this. BAKKT is a big platform and there are chances that we see big increase in the overall market cap.
5997  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Money is Dirty Money on: September 22, 2019, 05:10:23 AM
I think that if a person adheres to the rules of his religion, then he will not play gambling. The rest can gamble either for fun or for making money. Because it is very difficult to combine earnings and entertainment.
It totally depends on the religion and their belief. There are other ways to entertain ourselves if we are just treating gambling for fun but because there's money to risk it became exciting. In my view, money that earned from gambling is not different in other source to earn, its just that how you accumulate it is more on luck since you have no assurance if you'll going to grow your money or not.

Many people do not care about the religion and only care about what they think is right.
If gambling is not allowed in anyone's religion, then the profit from it will also be wrong and illegal.

Many people think that you should work to get the money and anything which you get from speculation is not the right form of income.
5998  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 5Dimes founder found dead in Costa Rica a year after abduction on: September 21, 2019, 11:42:46 AM
Even the $1-million ransom paid by William Sean Creighton's wife to the kidnappers was to no avail.

After having being reported missing for almost a year, the founder of 5Dimes sportsbook was found dead in Costa Rica, the local police confirmed.

Source: https://www.bitcoinsportsbetting.co.uk/news/5dimes-founder-found-dead/

They demanded 5 Million dollar from his wife but she only paid 1 million dollar to the kidnappers. Maybe the kidnappers were not satisfied with the amount and they finally killed him after he was being missing for an year or so.
He was an amercian book maker and made a lot of money through betting and gambling.

We don't know what the real reason behind and why the wife only pay $1M instead of paying the full amount for the safety of his husband. The case of this incident only shown that being recognized to have a huge amount of money will lead you to risk your life. It's best if possible to keep being anonymous and keep your identity secret especially online.

5M dollar is a big amount and maybe his wife and family did not have that much amount to give to them to rescue her husband.
I think the killers had some other intentions and not only to get the money.  1M dollar should have been enough for them but these rich people have lot of enemies around them and also many people are jealous from their fame and money.

I know this is a sensitive topic but why didn’t Ben Stokes stop them before publishing this story, as sun has stated they received no objections from Stokes family.
If Stokes was not famous then do you think any newspaper would bother to publish a story that is buried 31 years ago? The main key here is Stokes. They brought up this story because they know that this will bring their paper on tea table.

Personally, I do not believe anything these media gives as their excuse. To defend them from losing their market they can come up with anything, and they would not bother to lie. We have seen this from history.

May be they did not even ask Stokes before publishing it. What I know is that they went for interviewing Stokes and his wife and they denied to talk to the media about it.

Media and channels do not let go any opportunity which give them attention and fame. And that is why we see so many scandals about the famous personalities.
What is more concern to me is what was the reaction from Ben Strokes after this news was made public. Did he accept it was true or he denied it claiming to be a self made story ?

You will not find Cock fighting on an online betting sites because this sports is not popular and is limited to very small population / people of the world. Mostly the gamblers who bet on this cock betting are traditional gamblers who manually bet on these fights. In most places it is illegal and be considered as an abuse of animals. Many NGOs may consider these fights as violation of rights of the animals.

They already said there is, they do have a website. I think there are more of it. Quite not a common gambling game for all but looks fun to watch. It will only be illegal when money involve needs to be taxed by the government. Animal welfare should also try checking spiders fighting, they fight to death like the cocks stabbing knives.

Do you have the name of that site ?  I am sure it would be a local gambling site and will be interesting to know how they bet on it.
Do they have tournaments on it or it is a betting on an individual cock? There must be name of the cocks mentioned too  Wink
