There is not much in term of inside knowledge being made public. This thread could very well be a bait thread to promote OP's own investment in an asset...

Probably, though in general, what op stated actually makes sense. Not just about payperex but in general if you're looking for an ico to invest on. Of course we don't just rely on threads like this in making a decision but it does help as well
6282  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: October 09, 2017, 02:08:14 PM
If Wade can maintain what he's doing in pre season to regular season. There's a high possibility that they will be in the Finals again and  can match up now against GSW. That would be entertaining to watch if ever they will face again.

Don't worry he can maintain what he showed during the preseason he's a versatile and consistent players knowing that from his past team at Chicago Bulls there's no noise that he's bringing there because he lacks of teammates that can play well together with him. But now he's with a good lads that can bring a team up together up until the finals I wish he'll continue his contract after 1 year.
Wade understand his rule, he knows that he is not the main man anymore and just a supporting cast for Lebron but together they can create a good team. They are a very dangerous team now as they are compose of MVPs who are good enough to deliver a win especially in tough times.

But being a support for the superstar is a big thing and Wade's really know his role on this team now and he likes it more than his past team. There's a lot of happening and exposure for him now on this team together with Lebron and I know that their main goal now is to hit the championships and beat the crap out of Golden State Warrior, I'm not telling that they have assurance but they've something on this.
Warriors are still the same team, they are more confident now as they won the championship but the cavaliers are more determine to take that away from them and once again champion. Having 3 big players (wade, Thomas, and Rose) is such a steal, it clearly show how badly they want to beat the warriors, although Lebron loses his teammate but it was for improvement and now we can see that only Lebron is the main man in the team.
Dwyane Wade is not the biggest factor out their for the Cleveland Cavaliers in going to the Finals, I mean they are really heading into the Finals this year look at how the Eastern Conference looks like majority of the star players of their teams transferred to the West like Butler, Carmelo Anthony, and Paul George.  Not unless that a playoff seeding will have a change they are headed to the Finals even if the Boston Celtics is an improve team this year.
It is more interesting to watch the west playoffs rather than watching the east as we expected that cavs will again push this one to meet their rivals gsw but okc have its own super team together with SA and Houston, just hoping for some good surprise teams to show up this seasons.

Sadly you're right. The balance of teams in the east highly favors a couple of teams but mostly the cavs. On paper, there isn't a lineup in the east, well pretty much in the nba, that can matchup man for man. Cavs own the east and would probably do so unless there's a major change that will happen
6283  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why Is Bitcoin Gambling Industry So Successful in the World? on: October 09, 2017, 02:03:25 PM
I still don't call the bitcoin gambling industry as very successful at this stage since we all know that the industry is worth trillions of dollars. So what bitcoin casinos and betting earning right now is just a very very small chunk of the whole industry. But we will be expecting a fast growth on bitcoin use as people will realize soon its advantages.

Well to be fair, bitcoin gambling is still young but its growth is undeniable. There's a big chance that it can overtake the convemtional online gambling industry once bitcoin gets more supporters.
6284  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What did you buy for money won? on: October 09, 2017, 01:57:55 PM
funny thing with me is that the money that I won on gambling was used to gamble on another gambling site , I can't just really stop when I know that I am winning I guess it was really natural for us to greed for more and in the losing up it all , So I usually gamble just small amounts coz I know I can't stop until I lose , too bad for me .

Sadly, you're correct there dude. Well for those that are really fond of gambling that is. That's why sometimes it's not actually a goos thing that you're always winning because that may trigger the greediness inside that you should avoid at all cost. Withdraw if you've won and buy yourself or your parents something nice, or go on a trip
6285  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What was your biggest casino win? on: October 09, 2017, 01:55:01 PM
I went from 0.004 up to around 2 bitcoins once, I lost everything in the end. That's gambling, the more you keep playing the bigger the chances to lose, some people think that you lose because you didn't know when to stop but that's simply not true. You could have easily lost in your first bet, what then, stopping before even starting?
And that is the funniest thing with gambling. Once you win a huge amount, you will just want to bet more hoping the same luck will keep shining for you to win more. More the house is always smart and they will definitely find a way to take it all back.

No one opens a casino to dash out money to everyone as the essence is to make profit from people who are having fun gambling. Stopping before even starting is just the best thing to do like you said as it can also be very addictive no matter how hard you try, either you are winning or losing.

Yeah, i can imagine the disappointment it can give you gaining that much profit and then losing it in the end. Though it can't be helped and i can't really blame you because naturally, if you've managed to win that much, there's a belief that you can win a lot more. Lessons learned dude
6286  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think you are a gambling expert? on: October 09, 2017, 01:52:49 PM
I just want to know how you feel when you get a big win from the gambling you play, I know that feel is definitely fun.
But, do you feel or ever assume you are a gambling expert after you get a big win?
Then what kind of gambling has made you think of yourself as a gambling expert?
I would rather consider myself as a noob in gambling than consider my self as an expert. I will let the others observe how I play and let them judge me if I am an expert based on their observation. Its like me being conceited as I say I can do this and that or I am better than you or him. I would let my actions speak for what I am.
There can never be anything like a gambling expert. You predict, you win, it is just luck and that does not make you an expert in anyway. I know I have heard a lot about people playing cards or whatever they call it with other opponents saying there are some who can easily read body movements and know if the other opponent is having a good hand or not.

To me, those are just pure bullshit. I can as well in a way change my body language to make you believe you are going to win. It is just luck and you cannot be good at it... The most important thing is to see gambling as fun and just luck and even be happy when you have lost. Greed is what makes people go broke in gambling.
There are things that we cannot tame and fate is one of them. We, humans, are toys of it and trying to gets its mercy by doing nothing is not possible. That is why it is useless to master gambling because no one can like no one can control water. These things flow on their own free will and we flow with it. Gambling is all about luck so nobody can claim to be its expert.

Nicely said dude. I think the only difference is that those so called experts know when and how to keep themselves in heck no matter what the situation is. They don't get carried away by big wins or big losses, instead, they stay calm and stick to how they planned to gamble initially
6287  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling with altcoins on: October 09, 2017, 06:20:58 AM
I don't feel constrained because price of bitcoin expensive so i have to gambling with altcoin. Depends what i have, if i have btc then i will gambling using btc, also vice versa.

Well same goes here. Though i don'tfeel the urge to gamble most of the time as i'm done with it but back then, i usually famble with doge and it's mostly on exchanges, not on actual gaming sites.
6288  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Problem Gamblers here who are in Debt ? on: October 09, 2017, 06:17:52 AM
I never tried to gamble someone else money. Even if i am addicted to gambling and even i lose my budget for 1 month in gambling i never thought of borrowing money to someone just to gamble the reason is that i know the risk in gambling and if i lose that money that i owe to someone i will be increasing my problem and for me it is hard to fix too many problems.

What your doing is right because even after you know these games are very risky shouldn't borrow money to play these games. But people like you may be very less because most of the addicted gamblers don't think about the future but for that movement they need a money to play these games so they will tell all kinds of stories to raise funds from others and after losing that money then they will realize their mistake when need to face other kinds of issues.
Lol yeah. I don't understand why there are people who have thr audacity to gamble with other people's money. Imagine thr inconvenience of being pressured to win the amount you've lost because of it and the trust that you'll lose along with the money
6289  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does bitcoin's price volatility affect your gambling habits? on: October 09, 2017, 06:14:20 AM
Since I looked bitcoin value in dollar so yes it's affect my gambling habit when bitcoin value getting expensive.
I'm wonder if someone able still bet 1 btc per bet just like happen on three years ago, but yes...when you want profit, dare to take the risk or you got nothing !
You are right! The volatility actually determine the level of bet you play when compared to its proportion in USD. You could have played with 1BTC about 7 years ago without being bothered but playing with that now is obviously a very huge risk.

However, most online gambling sites have been able to reduce the minimum bet as the value keeps rising compared to before, so they also understand the impact of the volatility as well as the users.

Well for me, if i m earning btc, then there's not much difference in it. Of course if i'm gambling from btc i've bought from fiat there probably would be second thoughts about the fiat equivalent but if i earned btc, its the same
6290  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to control greed on gambling? on: October 09, 2017, 06:11:45 AM
if you are already addicted you will definitely be greedy. one to control it is by determining the maximum limit every day when we gambling. lest we cross the boundary so we can get out of control

Indeed mate.. learn to control yourself by also controlling your emotions and feelings. If you think you can do these things to yourself then you can control not to be greedy in gambling. Just limit yourself every time you have a gambling activity.
Limiting is also good in terms in gambling, but some people don't control themselves even if they already set a limitations with themselves, they will not think about their limitations, they will only do what they want until they are unconscious and their money are already losing.
I have been into that for many years. I mean, I made great plans but I always failed to follow them. Maybe it was because I was not so serious about life as I thought it is an easy task to live. i had no management skills and zero control over my desires. It took me a lot of time to become a man of action. Like you said, we follow our fun first and security later without realizing it easily.


Simply put, if you're someone who can't control yourself from doing something that you like, greediness will always find you whatever you do. And if you're that kind of person, there's really nothing complicated about it, don't gamble
6291  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Slots Strategies? on: October 09, 2017, 06:10:00 AM
I have played slots before and sometimes its really infuriating and other times a lot of addicting fun. But There doesnt seem much more to it than spinning the reels or pressing one button. Does anyone know of any slot strategies people use? Is there such a thing as a professional slotter haha. OR is it really the most heavily dependent on luck gambling game ?


You're right dude, there's really not much to slots so i don't think that there are any proven strategies formulated to gain advantage. It's even harder to win here than dice, considering they're both luck based games.
6292  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Benefits from Gambling on: October 09, 2017, 06:08:17 AM
Gambling entertains you. It is a stress reliever. While playing or betting on any event you scream, you laugh and sometimes you feel sorry when losing. There is nothing bad in gambling for as long as you are responsible enough.

I agree to that. Basically gbling is for responsible people who understands risks and knows how to control themselves. For people who are having troubles with these, better to keep your hands out of gambling to avoid trouble
6293  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is it a sin to gamble? on: October 09, 2017, 05:57:14 AM
I have never collapsed that in our culture gambling was a sin. Perhaps other nations think so, but we play all who want to get pleasure or profit from it.

Well if you think about it, it depends on a person if gambling will have a negative effect in his life. The decision is always with us. And sins are defined by either religion or culture, so a man's decision would determine if gambling would be a sin or not.
6294  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Excuses on: October 09, 2017, 05:55:31 AM
Did you ever gamble with other's money to pay your own debts or otherwise to solve a certain problem through gambling?

No, and I don't think anybody should do that. Because when you're gambling, the odds are against you most of the time. The likelihood is that you'll end up losing more money.
Correct if you want to win you need to battle your way against the house edge which most of the time is impossible if there has to be amyway for you to win in gambling you need to create a new account and then try to win

Its really hard to win the battle against the house. Sooner or later the house edge will take over, and you eventually ended up loosing. I don't want to borrow either, too risky and I don't have the money to pay if ever I lose. I just try to control myself and not make an excuse of borrowing from someone just to continue with my gambling addiction. I have a lot of past experience which really tells me that to go that route because you will not always win. And borrowing someone else money will just put you to more problems and debt.

Well some people know when to leave thus, not allowing the house to catch up to them. Exprienced gamblers know that he longer you stay seated, the more chance that the house will drain you of your winnings.
6295  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction. on: October 09, 2017, 05:53:43 AM
Why is someone get addicted to gambling once he gamble ?
I think they got addicted because of the profit that they won in the game,
Or they are eager to win back the money that they lost in the game.

Losing won't get you addicted. It's the need to get back what you lost. It's winning and feel of it that draws people to addiction most of the time. Of course you'll want that exultant feeling of winning money over and over again, and in the process get yourself craving for more gambling
6296  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why trading is better than gambling? on: October 09, 2017, 05:51:35 AM
Hey! guys i need your opinion and help because i didn't know about this trading thing i only know about how you can earn bitcoin by gambling but still my friend told me that gambling is not the way to earn bitcoin but if you try trading you will earn much profit why is that so guys? trading is better than bitcoin? how? why? where to find that trading thing?

Trading is better because gambling depends on pure luck. On the other hand, trading can be successful, if you make a wise or educated trade. You can apply your knowledge, experience, and skills in trading.

That's correct trading is better choice in compare to gambling as trading is not dependent on pure luck as if you have good knowledge of market and if you hold good skills of analyzing the market charts then you can make really good profits from trading while in gambling either you loose or you win and most of the times you will be loosing your money in it.
It shouldn't even be a choice between the two. Trading of course is a is a legitimate way of making money more similar to playing in the stock market than gambling. Though sone gambling games can give you good income every once in a while, it's not the same as trading
6297  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you set up limits for yourself? on: October 09, 2017, 05:49:29 AM
Anybody in gambling that does not set some limits by default without being told, is actually calling for trouble in which when it comes, it might be too much to handle. I set a limit for myself in the ones I am playing and that is a separate balance is kept for gambling at any point in time if that amount is exceeded as a result of winning, the extra is transferred out but if its depleted as a result of loss, what I do is to wait till I have free money to float it again.

He's really gambling his money if he doesn't set up a limit. This is the attitude of most of the gamblers before when they don't learn from their experiences. It's not a good timing if you'll not set a limit when you gamble, you are just dragging yourself to lose with your money and it's like a free money for the house if you keep on doing this.
it will take some time before a person notice that mate, he will keep playing without any limits trying to recover its previous loses even he almost win
but because of really aggressive to bounce back and win back everything then suddenly it will lose again everything.

If he is rich enough he can gamble without any limits but money is money and it can all be gone with just a single blow of your rage bets. And this is why setting up a limit for yourself is always as recommend thing to do, you have to know on what you should do when you are in those situations in between of recovering and chasing your losses or by just simply stopping at that very moment.
Money makes no friends so thinking that if I have a large bank balance; it will stay this way forever regardless of my useless activities is like fooling me. Every amount can reduce to zero if spend carelessly in random games.

Moreover, gambling has the feature to suck away the balance from the pockets of the gamblers and it is pretty fast in doing this.

Right. And this goes i think whether you set limits or not. I mean, of course its better to have a specific amount to spare but once you're in a position for example, that you're on a winning streak, good luck if you can follow your limitations.
6298  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to Turn Gambling into a Profitable Activity on: October 07, 2017, 02:44:43 PM
The best way to achieve this goal is to own a gambling casino or a gambling website, but this way requires a high budget.
Otherwise, as a player I think there is one and only way which is playing cautiously to guarantee a minimum loss of and a maximum of profit.
Running a business would always give profits and if someone has a big one with millions of customers, he would become rich in days but it demands a tremendous amount of investment too. Not all of us can do that.
Hence, it would be much better to gamble in limits and do not think about making money out of it because most of the times, it hurts the gambler.

His question was how to make more money with gambling and I just answered, but I inform you that we are in the same ideas, because we both agree that we should not play while thinking only on money because we will surely fail, and this is according to my experience in gambling.

Bottomline is, if you're just going to gamble, there's no way you're.going to have consistent profit. It's not a profitable activity basically and anyone who thinks otherwise will pretty much be in for a disappointing result
6299  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can you tell if you are suffering from gambling addiction? on: October 07, 2017, 02:38:10 PM
I just want to ask how would you know if a person is suffering from gambling addiction. Can you guys tell me the signs of it?
if you think of that everyday thats what you call addict and you always say it in others,i think addict is an person who always believe in that even your already got wrong in that an addict also dont know what to stop his/her action

Yeah and i know a person who suffers from withdrawal syndromes when he misses gambling even for a day. If it's that severe its like drug addiction. Their bodies will eventually crave the feeling of gambling
6300  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling loses and wins on: October 07, 2017, 02:34:10 PM
if you have an enough luck then you could manage yourself a lot of winning momentum. but if you don't get support from your luck then you might face a loss momentum. so in the gambling, you can't say boldly that you will never face a lose momentum. it is totally dependent on the luck.

There's no way to know if you have enough luck or you lack of it. And there's no way to manage yourself into a winning momentum, it is just coming to us unexpectedly. This is the life of a gambler, he doesn't know on how long he'll win and how long his going to be in that momentum you are saying. But when you are on that moment, just taste it and enjoy it but later on you'll lose.

In a way though, that's what makes gambling exciting fot a lot of people. Its not only the wins but the losses make it what it is. So luck doesn't really have much to do with it. That's why for addicted gamblers, its not about winning anymire but the fact of simply playing
