Nobody gets addicted to gambling on their own consent, it is greed which makes them do it regularly.
Whether it is a win or a loss, both are different situation and will influence the person in different ways.
When someone wins, they think that they might try their hands on it due to having luck, but who knows next, still they gamble.
When they lose, they would definitely give it a try to recover back their past loss on their next winning, the same applies to the rest.

That's right, but I think there's one simple thing that makes gamblers become addicted, that is too much / too often to gamble. When we gamble too much, it will become a habit. After becoming a habit, we will be hard to quit the habit. That is the thing that often causes people to become addicted, addicted in any case, including gambling.
When you do play gambling in severe times and making it as a habit then chances of getting addicted is really high and yes its the main reason why most gamblers do fall on this state on where they cant able to avoid or control their selves on playing gambling.It would really be hard to overcome it once it already in yourself.It does need some rehabilation if theres one.

Gambling can be profitable in the long run, provided we are not greedy or seek greater benefits than we have get. Profit 1%/day are better than 100% but only once.
How let's say you deposit 1 btc to gamble and don't win anything so you can't call the person greedy in this case.
Basic rule of gambling and it applies to anyone who gambles 'Deposit only the amount you can afford to lose' if you follow this rule you will either not gamble or if you lose you may not have any regret (hopefully)

If the game your are playing does not require skills like poker, and you are playing against the casino, you will eventually lose due to the house edge advantage. I agree, better play only with the money that you can afford to lose and only for entertainment.
Yes, we all know what way of play would be better, but the problem of addiction is still stays actual. I gamble on poker almost everyday, who knows how much I lost on this already.
That is the factor that is very difficult to remove. Even if we lose and lose a lot of money then we will keep playing continuously. This is a very bad addiction. There must be strong self-control to get over it. Gambling can be profitable when we are always lucky. While if only rely on skill then we must surrender to all the results achieved.
Making money on playing poker is possible but would really depend on your skills but when addiction hits you then you would really do the things that aren't right already which is losing soo much money and you do still play it no matter what.There are some players could able to maintain making money but just for experienced and skill based games on some card games.This is possible but really hard to achieve.
7343  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I have found a long term and strong dice strategy. on: May 10, 2017, 02:46:05 PM
Stop with these, it's pointless and it has been proven that sometimes making a single bet or a single martingale sequence is better than making hundreds and hundreds of bets, you might as well just bet all your money on 5% and it would be the same as betting small amounts on a higher %. Math will always add up in the end and yes some strategies are a bit ''better'' and instead of having a 49% chance of winning you get a 49.1% but it's still meaningless.
still luck will be the turning point whether you will win or not, if your strategy will be useful for sure the house will noticed that in due time
allowing the system to be updated and will need to update your strategy again, likewise did OP already win huge profits or already loses
everything inside his bankroll?


Yeah, because no strategy will win over the casinos no matter what we do, since casinos have statistical edge over the gamblers in the long run, the more we play and the closer we are to infinity, it will show that that small edge they have will be a great deciding factor for them to win. That's the fact in every gambling game.
Its really useless if you do think that you can able to beat the house itself because it wont really happen in most plays but there are some instances which you can beat them but on temporary basis and this is when extreme luck is on your side and do win huge amounts and cashout it on a certain gambling site but seeing on long term process they do still win on the end no matter what.

hi;

i have 3000$ and what do you think? im going to buy bitcoins and i will wait for years last;

is worth that decision good ?
Yes it is worth anytime and if you don't mind on the high price as of now because you would eventually bought only 1.7 btc correct me if I'm wrong but remember always the risk that the price would anytime to dip which means you will lose up some money but since you are mentioning about holding it for a year I think it would be just fine on buying on the current price.
7345  Economy / Economics / Re: Do You Think Bitcoin Will Replace Dollar Soon? on: May 10, 2017, 12:31:19 PM
Of course i thing in 15 years bitcoin will replace dollar Cheesy
I don't think the predictability of bitcoin prices prevents its use as a reserve currency. Who can predict the exchange rate of bitcoin a year from now? And the dollar is more or less clear. It will not let bitcoin displace the us dollar.

Dollar, too, no one can predict exactly in a year, but it has the advantage over bitcoin in that it is used by more people and for this they do not need the Internet.
Why do people keep on comparing about local legal fiat than to a digital currency? Knowing USD its one of the most strongest currency being used worldwide and talking about of getting replaced by bitcoins seems really impossible even we do say on next 20 years or more.To think of that bitcoin is relying on its value to USD mainly which means it cant really even surpass no matter what an government wont really allow such thing to happen.
7346  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Do you have an idea to invest your bitcoin in offline business? on: May 10, 2017, 12:11:20 PM
Of course if we treat Bitcoin as fiat, then there's nothing we can't invest or reinvest Bitcoin on offline for tangible or investment we can feel. The major problem with Bitcoin usage is converting the coins to fiat in countries when its awareness isnt widespread and also if the many scamming activities around Bitcoin. I meant of those who parade themselves as exchangers.

Anyway, I will like to reinvest my Bitcoin into my poultry business and then expand into piggery when I have enough coins.

But how can you get enough Bitcoins for your poultry and piggery enterprise? Where did you get the BTC youre holding right now? From your signature campaign? Its better to borrow some money and start it right away.
If you can see an opportunity to build up a business because you saw about the potential of success then we cant really rely on signature campaign earnings since we do know its only a small amount better to take those traditional loans it may cost some interest but still okay as long your business is on good profits.Investing bitcoin on offline businesses isn't possible because you cant directly spend it.
7347  Economy / Economics / Re: Why 21BTC seems to be the target of anyone?? on: May 10, 2017, 11:32:47 AM
I have been reading posts on forums and articules about BTC and everybody seem to focus the target to achieve 21BTC, Why 21 Huh?
This is just a hype on where you would really be called a user who are included on the million club considering on the total supply of bitcoin and if you do hold 21 BTC then you are already a part of it but this is just a nonsense goal actually because not all people will accumulate that such amount of bitcoin and some users do have more than that amount even hundreds or thousands of them which means its not equally partitioned but well its not bad to have this goal.
7348  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What type of wallet do you use? on: May 09, 2017, 02:56:42 PM
As of now I do use web wallets because this is the best way to make my transaction even more faster since I do actively send some bitcoins on daily basis which means I'm really comfortable on using it.When it comes on storing huge amounts already I do make use of desktop wallets which I can able to secure my own private keys incase ive lost it.
7349  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to play gambling in a smart way? on: May 09, 2017, 01:26:56 PM
I have noticed so many players are just gambling for the sake of profits only. But majority of them loses most of the games eventually as they are not smart players.

So how should we gamble in a smart way so that we do not get more frustrations due to continuous losses?
Strategic games doesn't assure sure win. However, it can help to win a game. The smart way of winning the game ks through controlling yourself by preventing greediness and apply the right money management. This is doesn't affect your game's luck but it can help you to protect your profit or capital from losing.

That is the main reason why we use strategies, because we know that with that strategy, we can win a lot of money, but in reality, we will be still losing. We get excited because it worked on other people but it don't work for you. It is hard to control yourself when you are in a gambling activity, holding your strategy as a main card, but it will not work, it is very dissapointing. It is better if you can just keep your calm everytime and always keep in mind what you are doing and may happen if you do it.
Strategies are created because on that way we do believe that its the thing that we can be profitable on making money on playing gambling.Smart way is the time you can able to realize or limiting yourself on when to stop either on losing or on winnings side and this I do believe the smart way.We do all know that playing gambling make us lose most of the time if luck isn't on our side.
7350  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: where it easier to win bitsler or pocket dice ? on: May 09, 2017, 12:55:22 PM
don't know which one easier to win but if you look for how many giveaways that we can claim i can suggest bitsler. from what i see they always give free coins for their users
In terms of promotion then Bitsler does really have the edge since the owner do actively made this promotions for the sake of making popularity on the site which can possible attract new players I can able to say it because I'm once a player on bitsler but on pocketdice I didn't experience to play on there but asking about winning chance then it doesn't matter on which site you would play if you don't have luck then you will surely lose.
7351  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can gambling help you with your life? on: May 09, 2017, 12:00:53 PM
Gambling can't help your life unless this becomes your profession and you get to have an income through it. But I doubt a person will win everyday going to casinos or gambling everyday online. The houses aren't allowing these to happen everyday. You will always lose that's the very certain being a gambler myself.
steady income from gambling only belong to the house but indeed there is some people could makes the gamblers as their profession and we call this the profesional gamblers but usually they not playing at the physical casinos or online casinos but very often they enrolling to some poker tournaments

Its really possible to make income on gambling on profits and you are right there are professionals who can able to do this which they are making somehow gambling as a source of income and most  of them are card players which means they are already expert on that thing and cant be easily done by a certain individual.It can be helped for some but most people do have negative effects on playing gambling so majority I can say that gambling cant really help out on our own life.
7352  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does experience matter in gambling? on: May 09, 2017, 11:36:02 AM
Gambling is a game when can play it very easily even though we don't have any knowledge about it. I see many people keep thinking that gambling needs experience but I think there is no need of any experience for gambling.
It does really need experience on some gambling games knowing that there are lots of types of gambling games in the market which means some of them do really fully rely on luck and some do need to have knowledge and experience on playing like on card games and sports betting because if you don't have knowledge on playing on this games then losing up would be even more.
7353  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What keeps you coming back??? on: May 08, 2017, 05:53:14 PM
Not only you mate, we all of us doing the same. I think it defers every gambler to gamblers. When you have experienced the losing streak comes to this field to recover your losses by winning quite fast. So, there works something power which can be called natural curiosity, thrill, brain continuously forced that helps keep people coming back.

It is not the same case for everyone. I keep on coming back because I am addicted to play, I want to play and I have the urge to do that every single day or atleast twice a day. I keep coming back however I only use a small amount to play that is why I dont think that it will be bad for me if I keep on playing

Right the reason will be not same for everyone, but most of the players will come back again to get back their losses in gambling. In your case, you are addicted to gambling so you are indirectly addicted to free money, or you addicted to gambling games because of this 2 reasons you will come back. I am not addicted to gambling I play just to have fun in gambling.
in fact gambling is a game which every time give you expectation of making money, as gambling appear as the easiest way of making money but in fact in gambling games we mostly depend on our luck and it is just impossible to be lucky for every time, and that is the reason for most of the time we lose money in gambling.
Strongly believing on making money on playing gambling would really keep us coming back no matter how much we do lose money on playing it because having this kind of aims will really set our mind that we might able to win big money if we do play it and if the brain do command then for sure our body would respond that's why we do really find ways on playing it no matter what and also in other situation chasing loses also a reason on why we would come back.
7354  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can gambling be profitable in long term ? on: May 08, 2017, 05:22:47 PM
It seems to be very difficult to expect to profitable from gambling for long term. Because the human mood is not fixed. Sometimes discipline is sometimes greedy too. When disciplined, maybe we will assume that gambling can be relied upon for the long term. However, when we experience a successive defeat, then we will assume that gambling has destroyed our balance.
Mood and emotions/aims will surely mainly affect a certain gambler while do playing and its not really constant depending on the situation this kind of feelings do rise or come out which can cause for us to do bad decisions. Gambling cant really be fully rely on believing that we can able to make money on that because gambling is being designed not on that way.
7355  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Where to invest my Bitcoins? on: May 08, 2017, 04:57:27 PM
So far i dont see any investment with high return and have a less risk.
If u only have 0.1 in ur wallet go to trading altcoins, but u need knowledge about the coin and u must choose when to buy and sell ur altcoin. Good luck sir
It doesn't really exist on this world which an investment with have high returns with less risk and knowing all of that kind of investments are mostly scam which means we should really be careful on selecting on where would gonna put our money.Trading is a good choice but depending on how you gonna execute it because if you do trade with less knowledge then you are likely do gambling.
7356  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you Rich from Gambling? on: May 08, 2017, 01:32:47 PM
I'm not sure, whether by gambling can make me rich. Maybe ya,  if I win to 100x in a row I can get rich. The fact is a lot of people who lost less than 100x and have fallen into poverty.

win 100x in a row would be miracle and impossible to get with ordinary luck, actually you get rich from 100x win in a row is depends on how much you gambled, the bigger amount you gambled the more you earn if you win. it's easier to get if you setting your winning chance to 99% in dice case but you know you won't rich from that.

Dice can't be set as the standard of victory for wealth, but if you win a 100x streak in cards game for 1-2 day, it definitely makes you a millionaire in an instant. No analysis that works 100% of this must be based also with full of real luck.

It depends also on the house hedge of a certain gambling site with a lower HE, where you going to play. I doubt someone will achieve this 100x streak unless you can change the setting to >100%. Perhaps you can achieve with Luck but Math does matter also. Actually it's very easy to win in gambling but the chance of winning is 50 % it's either you lose or win.
100x streak doesn't really exist at all and if theres one already did managed to do such thing then he might really be rich now butt knowing gambling chances and luck are different on any game we play which means losing is really there and as you said 50% would be the chance on losing or winning.Does depend that's why we should not really expect to become rich on playing gambling from the very start.
7357  Economy / Gambling / Re: https://1bitprofit.com on: May 08, 2017, 01:16:54 PM
the site is not that bad,after all
looks like it has been online since ages and it pays alright
not sure how do they sort it with bustabit as it looks like a 100% copy of bustabit (or bustabit is the copy,who knows)
seen some crazy 2500x multipliers today,shame I was not betting anything

Wow it's just really a copy of bustabit, it depends on who was first though. No way of knowing who was first, since a lot of this stuff comes from god know where.

If someone won that 2500x that would be really an awesome win. A really jackpot if you want to call it. Though I don't think anyone would be betting that high anyway.
Don't believe such claims because such multiplier doesn't exist at all specially he just even said through words and I would really like to seek for screenshots related on this one.If he don't have then he might just one of the owners and promoting on the site and saying that bustabit is the copy? Seriously dude? This site is the clone and I can say it wont stand a chance comparing to bustabit.

Yeah people need to be a bit careful with Paypal as it can be reversed and there is the chance of being ripped off.
Everybody do know about that or aware about paypals reversible transaction that's why its very risky for this kind of method on gaining profit between buy and selling bitcoin on a various price point.It may really be profitable but always mind on the risk.I would rather choose to trade with alts/bitcoin because this is much suitable for me and even earning more than 20%.
7359  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How can we expect "average Joe" to remember passphrases to his Bitcoins? on: May 07, 2017, 01:33:19 PM
How about this way of generating a passphrase.

Second part: Your fingerprint


wut?
The second part of the passphrase will be... Your fingerprint?
Ignoring how complicated all your idea is...
What is a phrase fingerprint? xD
Passwords may not remember. But there are such functions when the password can be restored, and access with the help of a mesh of the eye or a fingerprint is very difficult to forge. So it's worth thinking about how to secure your documents and money other things.

that is not such a good idea.
the fingerprint system is not perfect yet and it has some problems, and reaching a truely random password with it will be hard (from what i have understood from what i have read).

also consider what if you burnt your fingers? what will you do them? all your money will be lost because you simply lost something that you could never "back-up"
Burning your fingers would only happen on 1/10000 chance and if youre a careless person then possibilities of this thing to happen would be high. Biometrics is always a good security and if you are not satisfied then choose iris scanner it would be much better if you do really concern about security into your bitcoins.

i am not exactly referring to a horrible incident that you lose your finger for example although that is still possible and leads to total loss.
but even small burn like burning it with a hot stove or something leads to you have no access to your money at least until your finger is healed! and that should be a concern because you wouldn't have any other way of accessing your funds then.
Such cases is really possible since the danger is always on our side or in the environment which we cant even prepare when that thing happen. Therefore,if you know that your fingerprint is the only way to access your money or wallet then you should really be careful on for it to be compromised and if you are worried too much on this thing then better to seek on any other way.
7360  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Losing investment on Gambling sites on: May 07, 2017, 12:51:21 PM

Was planing to invest on a gambling site since they said its a gauranteed profit since the house can't lose but I'm still skeptical about it, i don't have much BTC so I have to make sure whether its going to be profitable for me.  What possibilities could happen to the gambling site i wanted to invest into and how am i going to lose my investment in such a manner?
Any investments have do always a risk on losing money even on gambling sites,it may be a sweet spot  for making investments specially when you do have lots of BTC but considering its an investments the risk on having negative profit is really possible specially when a whale or player managed did win on huge amounts to the site which makes your profits all sweep out and as a part of their investor then profits of yours will surely affected.
