Upto a point it can be proved as worthy but after that point no math can help you in winning however you can get lucky upto a point but no chance to win forever.

What point are you pointing to exactly? I don't think there is such a thing. In gambling if you have a working method that involves math then that will likely help you out, especially if you are gambling in the sports books available to you. Since in sports books there is a chance to win or lose , you can improve these chances if you used math to totally imprve your chances of winning any game.

I want to play fortunejack. how?

Simple, register and make deposit then you can play the available games there. If you just wanna try, you can use the faucet but you cant try all games with the faucet since most games have higher minimum bet than the faucet amount.

That is correct, it's super easy to try fortune jack. Best thing of all is that you don't need to disclose who you really are. Anonymity is a delicate but awesome thing.

You can use the faucet money to gamble on dice though. That's fun too. Try your luck if you can get it to an amount that you can withdraw from the site. Then probably try depositing money and make use of the awesome bonusese FJ has to offer. Good luck and enjoy!
623  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is more risky. Sport or casino bets ? on: October 05, 2017, 03:59:41 PM
Both are equally risky although sports betting is more controlled than gambling in a casino the whole business plan of a casino is to keep you there and keep your money. Where as sports betting your bet generally lasts longer than a roll of the dice.

Disagree. They don't have an equal risks since you already said that in sports betting it's more manageable so meaning we can minimize the risks in sports betting. If the risks is controllable and can play with, it's not consider as same risks with the thing that has an obvious risks.

Sports betting has been profitable to me since the beginning. That's why until today, Im a regular sports bettor.

There are more chance to earn in betting sports than in casinos, atleast at sports we can do analysis well as well as support team we wanted to win we just need to keep updated on sports status.
I have always been a fan of sport betting rather than casino games games such as the roulette, dice and the others, though i have nothing against them are based on just luck alone but with sports gambling, your knowledge of the game in some extent do count when you are betting and that in most instances guarantees a win.

Gambling on sports books are generally a lot more profitable than just relying on the roll of the dice. This is cause in sports book gambling, you can reduce your exposure to risks because you can analyse the game you are betting on. Unlike in casino gambling, there is no way you can use analysis for purposes of improving you chances of winning.
624  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can you tell if you are suffering from gambling addiction? on: October 05, 2017, 03:53:57 PM
It is like video games and masturbation addiction. You cannot just let it out. You always think about it and prioritize it. It is like getting attached to someone and getting used to them. You think that you cannot live without them. They are becoming the air you breathe. Anyways, signs of addiction are not hard to notice. If you can spend the day without thinking about gambling, you are okay. If you do not become greedy, you are okay because gambling teaches greedy and evolves it to the worse. That is why you should set limits for yourself.

Addiction is addiction, even if it is a different kind, like snorting cocaine (drug addiction), alcoholsm, and other addictions. There is that level of longing for that thing you are addicted in. Medicine has even classified addiction as  a mental illness of sorts and it would need some level of medical attention to be ale to cure it. The best way to get out of addiction, is think about something else and keep yourself preoccupied.
625  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you set up limits for yourself? on: October 05, 2017, 03:48:08 PM
Since im not adicted and i do play only at the places where you can claim for free some coins and gamble with them, the limits is just my patiente to claim or not, i dont like gamble and putting my money dreaming with a jackpot at all, soo i do limited my investment to 10 dollars and happens sometimes only.
That is super amazing if you are going with a limited plan to play and enjoy. I must say there should be a limit for everyone so that they would not be regretting later. Things don’t come in your pocket if you are in casino and enjoying the shine of easy money. Many people just lose their control and results are so disgusting, losing everything.

I cannot agree more, that is why people should really just set limits. It prevent you from overspending in gambling and ultimately it can prevent you from ever getting addicted to gambling. This is one of the reasons why people get addicted to gamble. It is because they do not set limits and then when they are in deep losses they will try to chase their losses and in the end they become addicted to it.
626  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does bitcoin's price volatility affect your gambling habits? on: October 05, 2017, 03:45:56 PM
So does this factor affect how you gamble?

If prices go up, do you lower you bets? For example, you normally bet 0.001 per bet, do you lower it to 0.0001 per bet?

If prices go down, do you place higher bets? For example, you normally bet 0.001 per bet, do you place higher bets like 0.01 per bet?

Yes I do, i always deposit my bitcoin to gambling site is around $100 per week if i lose it all i will deposit again next week but if i can run it i will not deposit. When the price go up, i will lower my deposit and when the price go down, i will deposit more. For each bet, still same and don't care about the price.
You can buy a lot of food by these 100 dollars that you keep on saving in gambling sites every week and food is much better than gambling. You must be winning and losing. Also as you are a regular customer, you must be actually losing more because house always does this with such people.

Don't you think your bitcoins are actually being wasted away and you can utilize them in some more beneficial way?
Really I am just wondered and astonished with the people who are even gambling with bitcoins. It is not bad to even gamble with fiat but okay let it be a little foolish but why people are just wasting their entire bitcoin wallet just for gambling. They think by doing so, their bitcoins could be doubled? Seriously? They are just fools, fools who never get their money again.

Because some people has no access to credit cards or a gambling account that requires so much KYC that they even require a selfie with your mom. :/
Bitcoins provided a way for people to gamble, not every body bought bitcoins for purposes of speculative investments, some uses it to gamble on casinos or sportsbooks.
627  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best strategy on Freebitco.in and Bitsler on: October 05, 2017, 03:13:50 PM
No tricks or strategy to be used to win in gambling, dice game is all about luck of the players that is why if you want to play on those sites you musy need to set a limitation on how much do you spend in gambling because we all know that gambling is not a method of earning it is just an entertainment for those people who are always bored in their life.
Do not wait yourself to be addicted in gambling if you can avoid it just do it.

That is true, gambling is indeed not about strategies or methods or bots or whatever automated and repetitive modes of gambling you use. It will result the same, in fact, from what I noticed you lose more if you gambled with a bot. Not because the site is cheating, but more of because it is executing a single strategy and no strategy wins.
628  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is it a sin to gamble? on: October 05, 2017, 01:40:29 PM
Gambling is a sin if your religion sets gambling as a sin, gambling for fun or for making money will remain sin. Even if you ignore it, even if you do not consider it a sin, it remains a sin. If you already know the law, next is your choice to keep gambling or not because whatever you choose you will bear the consequences.

So is being gay, lending out money and the following,

Do not wear clothing woven of two kinds of material. Leviticus 19:19
Ye shall not round the corners of your heads. Leviticus 19:27

So it is a sin to wear clothes that has cotton and elastic materials. It is also a sin to shave your head bold.

Just to prove a point here that sins are really stupidly written things on paper.
629  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best strategy on Freebitco.in and Bitsler on: October 04, 2017, 12:33:20 PM
I am a regular gambler on freebitco.in and bitsler spending over 6 hours on the site almost everyday, i have invested a lot on the 2 sites and play many times using different strategies and settings but am always losing at the end. Pls is there any best strategy to win on these sites?

I will tell you the clear strategy: don't be obsessed you have to win. Gamble what you afford to lose, I am sure you enjoy the time you spend on this. Have fun, and again: don't get obsessed to win.
Gambling is a luck game. No strategy can really ensure anything. If you play you have a chance to win big time. But a big win may or may not happen to you.

People are really obsessed indeed that they need to win when they are gambling. Yes it is possible that you can profit from gambling, but that is a tiny chance! The only thing you should think of when gambling is just to have fun with it. It's not a profit game, the one's that are profiting are the casinos and because that is their business. Stop looking for strategies, there aren't none OP!
630  Economy / Gambling / Re: Bet on WWE on: October 04, 2017, 11:00:25 AM
How can you bet on something like WWE? Aren't all the matches pre-planned and staged? That would mean match fixing was first thought of on this sport?

It's really cool to look at, but it doesn't make sense to gamble on it.

The people that are supporting this is really crazy! This is like betting on a teledrama, where you guess if the hero dies, lives, saves the girl, farts, or whatever!
Guys, you are watching a scripted match. Maybe these guys are still believers that wrestling is real! Have you guys every thought why the wrestlers never bleed
when hit with a steel chair? Why are the referees so easy to knockout? They like die for just farting at them. :/
631  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Live betting? on: October 04, 2017, 10:53:00 AM
Wheres everyone go for in game betting?
Thankyou

Back when I was still gambling on sports books, nitrogen offered that feature. I think they still have it now. But, never was I luck on those bets. Usually I just lost.
Maybe that's my luck and probably yours would be different. Though I don't like playing live bets since it is already truly gambling. Since analysis within that short time frame is impossible.
632  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can trading be considered as gambling?? on: October 02, 2017, 02:59:29 PM
I also feel that trading is almost similar to gambling. because when we are trading we are also hoping to earn profit by way of betting. for example when we buy it cheap, we expect the market to go up and we sell it, whereas when we sell it when the market price drops from our purchase price, we will lose. almost the same as gambling. it just my opinion, what do you think about it?
Yes, as long as money is involved, then I think we can considered trading as gambling. Just like you have mentioned, we are hoping and putting money in the line in trading, its pretty much gambling in substance.

I  think it depends if you are just buying the coin without checking it or doing some research or background check,
Or if you are just new you could consider it as gambling .

The difference between trading and gambling is so thin. Even in trading, self control will remain important. The common condition to know whether trader is a gambler or not is when the price move down so deep. If trader got panicked  and sold their coins because afraid to lose more, then I consider such trader is a gambler.
Yes, that is what I'm telling, both have similar in a lot of factors and the very obvious in money in the line. Another is controlling our emotions, if we can't then you are going to lose. Just like in gambling, if you can't control yourself and don't know where to put the break, then there are very similar and the difference is very thin.



This has been long been argued and people always agreed to disagree and there have been two sides ever since. I guess it has similarities and it has differences, however the differences is quite different and far from each other that is why it makes both unique. I am on the side of that both of them are different from each other and it is different in terms of profits. In gambling there is really no profits to speak off unless you are the casino or bank.
633  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: what is PRIMEDICE on: October 02, 2017, 02:55:01 PM
As far i know its a betting site where anyone can bet with their coin.I just wanted to know how to have idea about it and is there any site like this and is it wise decision to participate as newbie

To be honest your question is stupid. What coin are you talking about? As far as I know they are using bitcoins and not any other altcoin they have made theirselves. Then what do you mean "how to have idea about it"? You already said it is a betting site, what is there to discover? 

As a newbie this is one of the trusted sites in all bitcoin land, so just play away and don't worry.
634  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Paying with Btcoin on: October 02, 2017, 02:36:08 PM
I would never ever pay with bitcoin right now. It is still at beginning stage and because of its important innovation for the whole financial sector an invest for the future.
I remembered on this thread some years back when bitcoin wasn't really of a much value as it is now and some people who probably have like 50BTC were busy looking for what they can buy with it. Some said, buy yourself some good wears, or buy yourself some pizza blah blahblah. If they bought actually since I have no idea if they did or not, where are those things they have bought with their BTC now? We all know what that would be worth right now.
Lol did you just say “buy pizza”? That was funny. I wonder, if there is really anyone that bought pizza with their Bitcoin then, now they will feel like committing suicide, lmao. If it’s me, I would be hitting my head on the walls if I wake up and see the price rate as of now.

Ahh the iconic Pizza story of bitcoins. The pizza that was sold for 10,000 bitcoins. Well I guess the guy that sold it likely was not able to keep the bitcoins too, he might have also used it for something else and probably lost the keys to his wallet. But if I had that much bitcoins back then and I lost it, then I would have also banged my head on the wall.
635  Economy / Economics / Re: When is the right time to buy bitcoin ? on: October 02, 2017, 02:31:14 PM
The best time is always until before the prices reach $500,000 each bitcoins, which I think McAfee's prediction would be correct. That is the time you should stop buying and start enjoying your hard earned bitcoins. It might be far fetched, but I really believe in bitcoins and I even thing it could reach $1 per satoshi which could be in the far future.
636  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: coindesk.com/price ---> how accurate is their pricing? on: October 02, 2017, 02:27:40 PM
It really depends on a lot of factors, like how do they weigh each exchange. For sure they will not take all the exchanges and average it. There is likely an evaluation processes they follow that other charts don't. This is the reason why all the charts are most of the time different from each other and makes them all unique since they use different ways and methods.
637  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Very early adopters (early 2009) and how much they made on: October 02, 2017, 02:01:27 PM
Millions of percent! And also, "IT'S OVER 9000!" just for the exaggeration.
Back when it started the price was about $0.0001 and now it's $4,400 as of today. So that mean it has grew by 44,000,000 times or 4,400,000,000%!
If you were an early adopted and bought a few dollars or even just a dollar, then you're already a millionaire by now.

Its pretty insane, but from what i saw there wasn't much trading taking place when the price was well under $1, mostly peer to peer stuff. As soon as we got some decent exchanges the price started going mental.  Would have been nice to mine a few k coin back then though.

Well, no one ever heard about it really till before the crash of mt. gox. The bitcoin scene was just for enthusiasts of the cryptography scene. Those cyberpunks were the first ones to really adopt it as this was principally what they wanted. A money that is anonymous, decentralized, ruled by cryptography and just works. That was achieved by bitcoins.
638  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The SEC has started enforcement actions against fraudulent ICOs on: October 02, 2017, 08:29:51 AM
According to a new press release from the SEC, two ICOs have been targeted for enforcement actions -- REcoin and the Diamond Reserve Club, which are apparently run by some fraud named Maksim Zaslavskiy. He claimed that $2 - $4 million was raised in the ICOs, when only $300,000 was raised. He also claimed to have a "team of lawyers, professionals, brokers, and accountants" when apparently none had ever been consulted. There is an emergency court order to freeze his assets (but good luck to the victims in recovering the funds)....

See here: https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2017-185-0

About time! ICOs should not be used to mask scams! It also tarnishes the image of other ICOs and that it doesn't improve the cryptocurrency economy. People get more afraid in investing into the future if these people just try and scam every single one of the investors. Also, it is totally illegal in all jurisdictions to scam, so they should not be safe because they did it on the internet.

I would suggest to stick with bitcoin bounty campaigns like signature/avatar campaigns, twitter/facebook campaigns, translation bounties, and other such things. It is quite easy to just accept bitcoins as payment than you would accept some other stuff.

You can also consider doing all the stuff they are offering at the bounty section. Maybe you'll hit the jackpot and be able to support a really project that will really payoff.
