In 2011, I went into gambling and I was trading in betonmarket, but I got disappointed after losing alot of money and those of my friends! Since then I have a serious fear about gambling and betting. But I have started developing interest again as it see that cryptocurrencies make gambling easy  and if I can control greed I can really make profit.
Well i tried my luck wit hgambling many times and i was successfull, but at the end i think that it is not worth the risk, see what gambling hade on my life was not bad, i did not go on a losing streak and get money from anyone to pay for it, i did not get addicted like most people, i saw what gambling could do to a man, see at one time i ve putt all i had from bitcoin on a fotball match, and i bet on the team that is wining on the last few minitues of the game hoping that i will win as the odds were with me, but just as i sent the transaction the other team scored and it was a tie, and at that moment i saw the money that i have worked hard for for a year fly away, but thank god because it turned out that the transaction was not fast enough and the betting closed just bfore it reached so it was sent back, and at that moment i decied never to gamble again, because it is not worth risking moeny for.
That was a close call which would really affect you too much if those bet have completely go through. When we are talking gambling results would really be not always give an assurance to ourselves that we would able to win the game.We might say that we arent addicted or whatsoever but we cant escape the fact that gambling cant really affect someones life on positive way but only this thing is just really meant for entertainment this is why risking too big wont really be worth of no matter how good is the bet is.
7282  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why I suddenly decided to leave gambling alone. on: December 21, 2017, 06:22:31 PM
Just like everybody else everyone is just so excited to bet on gambling. We always hope to win and when we can win we feel positive to win again. We are sometimes overwhelmed with our emotions that we tend to forget our limits. As for your case I know you leave it in the meantime but as you've said you still get bored sometimes and gambling is your outlet get rid of it. Just remember to have self control and limits in every bet you make.
Yeaaa that is human nature to feel that way , overconfident and still you lost it in the end.
Gambling isn't something that you can expect could bring you a steady income.
So leave gamble when you feel that something wrong happened to you since you do gamble.
If you are really a sensible person you would really able to view on those things that might possibly happen to you if you did decide to let your gambling addiction go further. If you are aware on the actions that you do had made then it should be fine but i would say gambling addiction is somehow a thing that cant really be easily be remove on oneself.
7283  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Investing is the new gambling! Double, Tripple, Quadruple...why still gamble? on: December 21, 2017, 05:24:37 PM
The point is:
You are 'guaranteed' to make more coins with investing in a coin...than actually gambling with that same amount.

Who provides/offers this guarantee? If investing in a coin is guaranteed then all people will invest all their money on it, there is no guarantees at all. There is always a risk of losing money when you invest your money in a coin.

Quote
Why not 'bet' on any cryptocurrency of your choice?
  • A new promising ICO.
  • Or a coin you like.
  • Or think is technically good.
  • Or is hyped.
  • Has a great name/logo/website.

Above things cant guarantee you will make profit.

PS: Aslo ignore this if you are a whale and can afford both, anyways  Grin

Who can afford both things are not always whales, I'm not a whale but I always use my money that I can afford to lose in both investing and gambling. It is just about preferences, we should not force ourselves if we do not know what is the risk on both activity.
Correct which it doesnt really need for you to be a whale to engage or do both things since we can actually do with minimal amounts and its not necessary to put up huge amount.Not only whales do have capability or do have an exception.I dont know why he do mention about guaranteed things since we know that any investment dont really have an assurance to make money anytime.
7284  Economy / Marketplace / Re: 1 Year in Cryptocurrency still no luck earning bitcoin. Need some real advice. on: December 21, 2017, 03:59:51 PM
There are a lot of ways. Look at bounty threads here on bitcointalk. There are signature,social,blog&article,meetup bounties. They pay in project`s coin, then you can swap this coin to BTC.
Hmm… advice might work, but I think this has to do with more of having luck. When I got into bitcoin, the first year was very, very bad for me, despite the effort I was putting into it and staying up most of the times at night. The second year was no good through out, till the third year. From the third year was when I started earning decently.

I mean to say that we cannot expect good opportunities to earn from day one itself. We must get establish up to the environment and requirements then only opportunities will knock our doors.
Theres no really need to rush up on those ways which signature campaigns and other related things can make you money easily and come to think off that we would really still need to work hard for us to earn since theres no easy money or profits here on bitcointalk. You are right which it do just like gamble because on some casis we do really need luck for us to succeed.
7285  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your Lucky moments during gambling? on: December 21, 2017, 03:24:17 PM
Well this happened with a friend of mine twice, he is just a one lucky fellow. He is one of those yolo gamblers. He mostly gambles on sports, anyway first time it happened was in South Africa vs Pakistan series where Pakistan was out of the match and they won in the last 2 overs, one by Junaid khan and another with saeed ajmal. His bet was around 2000 dollars on that match and Pakistan won that series. Same kind of stuff happened in the srilanka vs Pakistan t20 match, Pakistan won when they were i think 40/5.

He has won too many bets in these situations, my question is have anyone else experienced this kind of luck while they were gambling?

Of course my lucky moments in gambling is the time lm winning the game. When l stared gambling l used to  win on the game often so l enjoy it so much by going shooping with my kids. We used to be happy always bonding.l feel so much lucky but that's just for a while.lt did'nt last long. Because gambling is not for a long-term expectations.
Good thing that your winnings on gambling did able to use on enjoying together with your family which is a better option than on deciding on using your money to play even more because sooner or later you would eventually lose up those money again to gambling site. Lucky moments would really be experienced on each gambler because there are really days that we do win and believe that we can able to get rich on gambling on those times but it is just really for temporary basis.
7286  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Real Casino or Digital Casino. Whats is your Poison? on: December 20, 2017, 09:31:29 PM
Hi brothers.

New question for you.

What is your best way og gambling.

Real casinos or digital and why.

I prefer the real ones because i can drink a beer or some cocktel or whatever.

some of them have people singing and good mood...

But the digital casinos have some magic too, specially because you can bet in your pijamas...

so, what is yours?

Good day
Answers would really be entirely different on each users since they do have different view between two things. In my situation back in the past on where bitcoin gambling isnt still known yet i do love to play physically than on playing online with the use of my card or bank. I would rather choose up to play because its too hassle unlike on just going on physical gambling places you would really enjoy and love the ambiance but now when bitcoin gambling is already famous i do already choose this up because it is really convenience for me to play on just in front of my computer. experiences on your surroundings might be entirely different but ive got used to it already.
7287  Economy / Gambling / Re: Hack Into BitDice And Get 1BTC! on: December 20, 2017, 08:54:12 PM
It has been over one year for this to be done.
I think it is safe to say that no one will be able to do it. Unless they have had a breach already and patched it up.
From what I remember reading of this thread before there was something with an email address getting hacked into but that was not an issue to the site's security one bit.

So best to call off this contest if it hasn't been in over a year now.
You guys are good! Wink
I have remembered in the past regarding this competition or challenge made by bitdice and now i have read it again and it seems no one did able to get in to get that 1 btc price. Im pretty sure that there still people who do tried out upto these days trying out again considering that 1 btc price is almost $17k usd as of moment which is a worthy bounty.
7288  Economy / Gambling / Re: Nitrogen $20 withdrawal fee on: December 20, 2017, 04:46:36 PM

Imagine a company with superior customer service (ex. Costco).  Costco allows customers to return anything, in any condition for any reason.  They are the best in their industry.   Now, imagine if after all these years, they just did away with their return policy.  That would create triggers and certainly upset a lot of people.  In fact, many people may look for alternate shopping solely based on their decision to do away with their ongoing tough to beat return policy.  It would be a horrible business move and very comparable to what Nitrogen is doing.  For all the new money coming into the BTC gambling, they couldn't have picked a worse time to change their policy.  

The case in this is different, your Costco are not wasting so much money by accepting items that their customers return because of whatever reason while nitrogensports will lose so much money everyday if they continue to give free withdrawals, thousands of dollars daily. Don't forget about small players too who withdraw everytime they get .001btc on freeroll Cheesy

Did you even read what you just typed?
Of course Costco is wasting "so much money by accepting items."  They don't sell returned items.
So clearly Costo is losing money and biting the bullet, something Nitrogen needs to wake up and do as well!  


No they are not losing money, it is just like their items did not get bought in the first place. So my point is still the same, its just you can't understand what nitrogensports is done because you only look at one side of the issue. Let me ask you, are you willing to pay $20 for withdrawal your players make? If yes, you should create a gambling site and I will make a deposit of lets say 1btc and withdraw .001btc for 1000x and you will pay $20,000 for nothing. makes sense?

I know you live in the Philippines and things might be different over there, so I'll explain myself only one more time:
If company A spends $10 to manufacture an item, which is sold and then returned, company A loses $10 because company A can not sell that item. 
Your analogy "it is just like their items did not get bought in the first place" is entirely inaccurate.

Nitrogen needs to change their withdrawal policy or at least address the issue.   

why would they change their withdrawal policy?
you do not come to  a shop and say: "hey I think your price is unfair,you need to change your
price policies and also give me things for free"  Grin
you just go to a shop/casino that suits you instead and its the only way you can change their policies
since once they see that it results in profit or clientelle loss,they might change the policies themselves

They would really take into consideration if they would saw there are lots of people complaining.They would really make such actions which would really suit on user needs and preference on the majority because it would really mainly affect their business if people would decide to jump out and find another store.  Grin
7289  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: what impact has gambling make in your life? on: December 20, 2017, 04:11:58 PM
A person who does gambling everytime surely has one thing in mind and that is easy money to earn and to lose but they are more into winnings somehow gambling contributes to the way people thinks many become positive while playing and keep thinking that at the end of their rounds they will end up taking the jackpot prize but on the other hand those who keeps loosing will have the chance to become addictive because they want to get back whatever they lose not realizing they just getting loosing a much higher amount
Wont you consider those people as an addictive person who do strive to take the jackpot prize? I dont think so. I would consider the same thing that they do have the addiction too. Losing or winning as long gambling being played for daily basis or how many hours on a single day on a particular week would be considered as one. No matter what is their personal reasons but one thing would be common which is to win money.

Bitcoin is taking a huge plunge!
Are you guys selling to be safe, or still hodl in the hope it will go up again?
Its not actually a huge plunge if you do see the price movement for this year on bitcoin i would say we are still on high ranges. Price corrections do really happen which isnt really surprising thing. if you do recently see the news regarding BCH and its plans then it is one of the reason why we do see price decrease as of now but well no matter what happen bitcoin do really recover.
7291  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I always lose all my tokens and btc on gambling~ on: December 20, 2017, 03:19:51 PM
I guess, gambling is not actually for me.
I kinda feel bad on all the tokens wasted on gambling but it's kinda my "when I'm bored" hobby.
Do you guys have any tips on how to not to lose all you tokens on gambling?
Gambling is not meant for everyone because there are some people that are good in gambling and they even make a leaving from gambling just like those that are good in trading crypto currency. But if you discover that you are not good in gambling I will advice you to stop and focus on other area that you have the comparative advantage over as compare to gambling.
Maybe you do mean "living". This is actually true on where there are people who are capable enough to sustain for longer terms but telling or saying about making a living in gambling yes its true but only possible on games which do need knowledge,skills and experience which is only possible on card games or even sports. We dont know on how they do it but its really existing. If gambling did already hurt your financial state then its wise to quit before its too late.
7292  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to control greed on gambling? on: December 19, 2017, 10:28:49 PM
When you win withdraw your wins and go to the party this is the best way.If you try to make more finally you will lose all your  money.Gambling is for fun not for money.
FTFY.
Dont be greedy on gambling is the key to play it. How to control it? Set a limit of amount you can afford to lose
if you win or lose you know when to stop it
It seems that you don't understand what greed is.
Greedy gambler will hit something big then he will push game harder to win more money and at the end lose all. You can't change greedy person no matter how hard you try.
All human beings do have greediness inside when it comes to money but there are certain levels on each person because we dont have similar control to ourselves. Some may go beyond it and do foolish things and decision specially on gambling but some people can manage their greed.Its just really a matter of self control and fixed mindset but i would assure that this thing wont really be easy.
7293  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can maths help you win in gambling ? on: December 19, 2017, 09:36:35 PM
Well, I don't think so that there is any method you can actually use to win gambling. Maths can't actually help you in gambling as maths is about calculations and gambling is all about luck. You will just need to depend on your luck to win gambling. Especially in roulette there is no such thing you can do with maths, the only thing you could possibly do is predict what might come next and rely on your luck.
As always mention it can be use as basis but no assurance that it will give us good result, its still luck that we can depend in terms of gambling
without luck we will keep losing even we try to calculate the numbers of games and each losing or winning streak, we should always remember
its all about luck and nothing else.
Those math calculations is just being used to add up some spice on our gameplays because it would really be boring if we do just randomly put bets and roll out. People do have different treatment or way on how they would enjoy the game but most people are really relying and hoping that those math calculation would really work to help them win which we know it is an impossible thing.
7294  Economy / Gambling / Re: ChainBomb.com - ltc game - the best bomb deminer ! on: December 19, 2017, 03:59:58 PM
First under game history total won amount shows 0.012 LTC but actually the winner is only getting 0.01 LTC so you guys are taking around 20% of total pot  as commission which is really high specially at your early stages.

Quote
All deposit above 0.002 LTC will be ignored.
But on game id 24 someone has deposited over 0.19 LTC and the winner have got nothing when checked on block explorer. Any bets below 0.002 LTC will be ignored rather than all deposits above 0.002 LTC  Huh Roll Eyes
I do like to ask the same thing too which i did observe that bet id which supposedly to be the winner but yet didnt get any winning? Thats very shady or maybe this is just an test phase. The title is somehow misleading on the actual game which my first impression that it would be entirely a unique game connected into those bomb demining but its not because it turns out the game was just the same on common similar on blockchain games but it would be ltc this time.
7295  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Whats more profitable Day Trading or Trade for weeks on: December 19, 2017, 02:51:52 PM
newbie question whats more profitable for you trading daily(5% gains) or trade for a weeks like you hold the coin for days or weeks until it price goes up 100%-800%?
Even on weekly basis wont really give you an assurance that most coins will hit up 100-800% because most of the time they do only reach out even more lower as expected but still a good gain if you did able to get out with profits.It wont really matter if it would be a day trade or weekly trade,It would just really depend on the situation if we do see its the right time to pull out then just do it and secure profits.

Hi everyone .... 

A new question for casino players...

Some one loves roulette, another loves the slot machines....

I personally prefer blckjack.

What is your best casino game...

Waiting for your answers.
Been playing a game depending on my mood since i do know some common games like dice game and blackjack. These games are the most common for me to played on.I do love this because i do enjoy on playing it and do really relief some stress after a long days work.I do play also on slots but not totally long compared on blackjack and dice.
7297  Other / Archival / Re: Do you think that you're addicted to gambling? on: December 19, 2017, 01:30:07 PM
as for the moment no...im not addicted to gambling and i dont want to be....i've heared a lot personality who was ones wealthy then ended up poor because of there addiction to gambling...thats in my own opinion.

I also did heard a lot of people sharing their experience to gambling and to the way they are addicted to it. Most of them, said in the first that it is just a past time, something you would do to relax still you are spending you're money into something that will not ensure you're profit, gambling is all about the gambler's luck unlike trading and investing where skills and knowledge are included that makes you're probability of earning increase.
Not all the times which gamblers do really honestly tell on the things that they do experience on gambling.For sure most of them will really tell that gambling is really just being played for the sake of entertainment but on reality they do really hide something that they are already addicted to it and experiencing problems already. Trading and gambling is entirely different on some aspects specially talking for longer runs.
7298  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Where and which part of day do you gamble? on: December 18, 2017, 04:42:13 PM
Play in a gambling place that is not too big like in bars or other entertainment venues, playing every saturday night of the week (once a week). Quite fun, to refresh my brain after being tired of working for a week.
Yeah if you can resist to not become an addict, gamble in the weekend could be a routine and of course you do gamble for the sake of entertainment. But the reality mostly people get addicted and spend most of the times to gamble every day until they think they have lost too much .
- Well, gambling is a game that makes us addicted very quickly because the nature of gambling involves winning and losing, people always like to win, no one wants to lose, and when we lose, we will never accept, we want to go back and recover the loss but this is an idea that is very hard to come true. Play gambling every week is an addiction but at a slight level, I think that anyone who has this habit, they should soon give up, it will not be good for them, should not let it become more serious, I just gambled on the New Year's Day at home to some of my friends, the main purpose is to have fun with my friends, on normal days I do not play gambling, it does not bring me too much excitement
So you do play once a year? Only on New years day? thats too amazing. Grin but knowing the reality there are really people who do play gambling no matter what because they do got the entertainment that they do seek together with the chance on winning instant big cash.When we do play gambling risk of addiction is always lurking and just waiting for yourself to gain it,this is why we should limit ourselves on engaging on it.Once a week would be sufficient for me.
7299  Economy / Economics / Re: Some things to consider before starting a business on: December 18, 2017, 04:00:10 PM
Now we can see a lot of business opportunities that exist around us, be it pure online business or offline business that is go online. However, the number of business opportunities does not necessarily allow us to choose and run the business we want.

There are a few things we need to consider and start preparing the business prepares capital, the second prepares the workforce, the third is the provision of raw materials as well as the techniques in running the business, marketing the business optimally, then profit a business, risk a business, concerning business competition and pay attention to the latest business management is the facility and the fringe
Okay! before you start a business you/we must consider the following first is you must have the skills, skills where is very compatible to your business, second is you or we must have a strong and reliable plan, plan to secure your business and the third one is that you have the passion on your business...
You also need to research about your business idea, choose a business that will suite to the community. That's are some things to consider before stating business
Just want to add risk, risk must be consider before entering a business because not all business is in path of success and many different factor might affect output of any business.
This is always been considered if we do plan to have a business we would really always be ready on the risk involve on it and as being said not all business would really guarantee success anytime and expect there would really be hardships along the way before you would able to reach up the state of success.There are still lots of things to mind off.
7300  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Losing Streak Strategy on: December 18, 2017, 03:25:29 PM
Having a limit into betting is sometimes effective. You must set a limit of your losses otherwise it will get bigger everytime you bet into something you always failed. Strategies are like trial and error. Lossing once is enough. Twice is too much. Then, you must change strategy. Though its a game of luck but still it needs common sense to revise or stop a certain method you follow.

Greed will never go from people especially form those who do not have a control on the money. I know a friend's friend who is actually keep gambling inspite of several loses considering that in the next bet he will win.  You had said rightly losing one is enough but twice is too much. But how many people will understand this so that they do not lose more in gambling?

Controlling emotions is not something that can be done in an instant. We have to get used with our own way to control our mind to avoid making the wrong decision especially when we face difficult situations. Indeed this is hard but I bet we can do it!
No such actions cant really be done since we do have the power to do it in short responses the thing which is important is our awareness and realizations on particular time on playing gambling. If we did able to see things going if we are on the right mind and awareness regarding on our money management then we can eventually stop directly.Its just really  a matter of discipline and past experiences.
