We all need to know how to set up limits fo ourselves specialy when it is related yo money and gambling. we can lose all the time without thinking about stopping which wrong.
setting up limit is not hard at all many people are successfully able to setup limits the problem
 is during execution many of them are not able to follow the limit they have set for themselves
 and start over gambling which is bad
Easy to say but when you are already on middle of the situation then you will really forget those limits for sure and would decide to play even more further without thinking anymore on the limits that you have set earlier which is common thing among gamblers this is why we do fail and chances on getting broke is high because we do have weak self control and discipline.
7342  Economy / Economics / Re: TIME FRAME TO REACH $25,000 on: December 07, 2017, 06:41:43 PM
Coupled with the rate at which the price of bitcoin has been increasing lately. I'd like to know how long it would take bitcoin to reach $25k since it took it just a year to rise from $1k to $10k(which was pretty cool and fast) but I doubt if it can rise as fast as that again
Seeing on its recent progress i would it do really move very fast which it even reach out and break the 15k mark barrier which is really unbelievable because i was really just expecting that it would only hit up $12500 price on the end of the year but significantly price increase rally did continue and now we are seeing new ATH's which is good but i do really expect a nasty correction later on.

What? No you can't nullify the house edge. Of course not.
Otherwise what would be the point of the game?

In general, don't trust any gambling site promising you they will "nullify the house edge". Unless it's a promotional event it's pure bullshit at best and obvious scam at worst. A gambling company makes a gambling site to earn money and for that they will need a positive non null house edge. Whatever they say. You'd better trust companies which are oppened concerning their gains and with a provably fair system, like the one I'm promoting. That's the only one that will actually do what they say.
If Gambling sites can be nullify then no gambling sites would exist on what we are seeing now. Its really and impossible thing to happen.Any gambling sites can make their own promo on having a 0% houseedge but i would say this would really be only good for a short period of time as a traditional promotion bonus but shouldnt really expect like this.
7344  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do we need to gamble? on: December 07, 2017, 04:04:22 PM
Hello everyone, im a Gambler since 2011 when my father wants me to go with him to the live casino, like i was so amazed and so much fun there.
My father loves to play baccarat game and slots, but me as a first timer before, i played slots too...
So right now, im 31 years of age and have my own family, i still do gambling even on gambling sites now...
at that moment i realize that, why do we need to gamble? its like a win or loss game, a risky game, put your own money and when you bust it all, there will be some regrets...
So guys, please answer this, Why do we need to gamble?
Simple answer to this question.Its not really necessary but our human mind do told to do such thing because we know we can make money on it which we would really need to risk money in able for us to earn money and also gambling cant just be seen on gambling physical casinos and gambling sites but also on real life situation where there are sometimes which we do really need to gamble.

Hi guy just want to know how to game/gamble using cyrptocurrency or altcoins?

bitcoin is risky and gambling is so risky so you bubble your risk or risk^2

think again and stop waste your money
Since we are talking here about gambling then im sure op is already aware on the risk. Its good to advice him not to play gambling but its his choice then you cant do nothing. Going back there are lots of gambling sites that do make use of bitcoin and other altcoins and i do read above you are concern on placing small funds or bankroll which actually sites do have minimum amount to be deposited.You can always base on that one.
7346  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your reason to gamble? Fun or profit? on: December 05, 2017, 07:10:52 PM


Yes, I gamble for fun and for some profit. I really think that gambling is created for entertainment and profit. However, gambling is addicting. So, we should learn to limit ourselves when gambling.

Satisfied with small/make sense profit or stopped as soon as we lost the money we can borne, could be the best practice to take to avoid future regret.
or else if you try to double your funds at once it can hurt you a lot but if you try to gain a profit of only
10% everytime you gamble after 10 times you easily double your money thats what you should do in
gambling try to get a smaller profit couple of times so that it doesnt hurt you

It is really good feeling to have some little earnings and accumulate to big chunk of profit already - like betting 90% chance rate. However, that feeling of goodness can at anytime be replaced with anxiousness because the red will hit us at any seconds and we don't even see it coming most of the time.
many things are good if you want you can even try to hit a 1% chance roll but you know it has a huge amount of
risk involved its better if you try to gamble for a smaller profit rather than trying to aim for a higher one as i said if you
get smaller profit ten times its better for you
Rewards would really depend on the thing on how much risk you di able to put one. We do all know that the higher the risk the higher the reward. Reason on most people why we do gambling is for the sake profits.There might be still some  people who do really play gambling for fun  not totally on making money.The main purpose why gambling games have been invented because it was just really for entertainment but yet there are still people who do see on wrong way.
7347  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you feel shameful for being a gambler? on: December 05, 2017, 05:06:59 PM
I think it is not a shameful thing do gambling. But depend on the culture of country or area, people might see that as a shameful or unsuitable thing. Some people identify gambling as a illegal thing, done under the coverage of police and when they get caught and get beaten by police kind of thing. But gambling is available in legalized form and with a clear set of rules.
That's true depends on where you live in , environment have a big role on affecting you treat gamble itself.
So yeaa i can say basically nothing wrong with gamble , just the way people look at you and you react on it.
Some people indeed even proud on what they have achieved in gambling . You just never live that way.
Some people would be affected but some people wont really care at all. Society in different places do really differ which there are places which where people do look bad at you when you are playing gambling just like they are staring at you wondering on what you did wrong to them which would really give anxiety and would give effects on you for sure.

How much is bitcoin estimated to be worth in 100 days?
If we do base the recent price increase rally percentage on daily basis would continue then after 100 days bitcoins price would hit up somewhere on ranges of 16-18k usd just like have been specualted above by some members which is somehow realistic compared into others going past 2k price. 100 days is 3 months which would actually end up on February next year which we wont really know on what would be the price ahead but it would only have two directions either would go on new ath or make some hard corrections.
7349  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to control greed on gambling? on: December 05, 2017, 02:44:03 PM
A person needs a really good concentration and and his good thinking is still present because everyone loses it when it comes to gambling. At first, everything looks good but because the greediness that you can't stop then it ruins your play and lose so always keep it cool.
A gambler should be calm and quiet because these two things lead to success not in gambling but in every field of life because calmness allows a person to pay full attention on every single thing he is doing and the happiness of winning increases the greed of more.

At that time a gamblers with focused and concentrated minds can handle the situation while the other with absent mind will face loss in second game.
I think it is some thing natural to have greed in gambling. i think we cannot control greed in gambling, but still if we have some good strategy it can help us to have control over our greed.

Greed is human nature, why do you guys think there is so much wrong with the world? Humans are greedy, take a look at our oceans. We over fished the whole sea and the population of a lot of marine life has already gone or there is already a real imbalance. Then look at the glaciers. They are melting! It adds a centimeter of water level each year! All because of commercialism and for the love of what we love!

So really, I don't think we should even be arguing about controlling greed in gambling. Because surely, a lot of us has experience it in gambling and out of it.
Its always been part of human being of being greedy and as you said because of our lack of contentment we would really do things  as long we can able to make money we would push it hard no matter what would be the things would be compromised.It cant be avoided but people are different on any way even though we are naturally greedy but some can able to control it depending on situation.
7350  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: the easiest way to make a profit from gambling? on: December 04, 2017, 08:12:41 PM
The easiest way to make profit in gambling is that you need to know what kind of game you are good at, you are good at playing cards and you can read your opponents face, then you know in yourself that you have the upper hand then bet a large amount then rinse and repeat.

This is so true. As long as the game involves these kinds of skills, then you are more likely to win more compared to games that are just based on pure on luck. However, I am not saying that we should stay away with these games that are based on pure luck because they can really be a good source of fun and entertainment if you just know what you are doing.

Even if the gambling game you are playing is one that is skill based, there is still no guarantee that you will profit from it. Since even if it is skill based, it still relies on some level of luck to win. That is why you can never consistently win on gambling since there is that factor of luck which no one can never control. That is a fact we cannot change. The only way you can probably profit from gambling is operate your own casino or probably do arbitrage betting.
Luck is the thing what matter most on gambling which is actually true that no matter how skillful you are if luck isnt on your side you would definitely lose up. Easiest way to profit on gambling isnt guarantee but there are games we can actually make an edge against players which is a good thing together or mixed with luck then you will surely win no matter what.
7351  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Where and which part of day do you gamble? on: December 04, 2017, 06:27:54 PM
Hi guys!
Many casinos have mobile friendly GUI and nowadays you can gamble and place your bets literally from anywhere and anytime you want to. So my question is simple. Where and when do you usually gamle? Do you ever gamble at work or your home? Is there any specific part of the day (week) when do you gamble?? Why? Do you think there is some ideal place and time?
Feel free to discuss and let us know Smiley)
actually im not really gambler but i played when i feels like i
wanna have fun and i found it on playing slot machine and sometimes
dice,its my stress reliever and my place of joy.also roulette whenever
it rounds i just cant stop to shout for my bet.
3 months later this thread has been bumped again but well its much better than on creating a repetitive thread similar to this. Answering on op, i do gamble depending if i do have free time which would be on random basis because i dont have fixed time because my work involves on field which means anytime i can play gambling when im stressed or in boredom.
7352  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If money would not be a problem, would you still gamble? on: December 04, 2017, 05:05:06 PM
Probably yes, because we gamble to have fun and that means there's no problem if we lose. Our mind is at ease, and we will not get frustrated. But in reality we really need money to gamble believing to have luck in winning.

People those want to gamble will find a way to borrow money or guaranty a thing which can have a good amount and in that case  money is never a problem. We cannot blame those people will borrow or loan because most people will prefer to have loan and deducting there own salary as way of payments. Money is still the main way to gamble, hoping to win which only our luck can tell.

People have their own reasons for gambling and i think that's regardless if they have a lot of money or not. Addicted gamblers will still gamble if they have a lot of money. People who gamble for fun will still gamble even if they have a lot of money. The aspect of having a lot of money is seldom considered when you gamble
Each person do really have their own reason why they do gamble but for those people who do really play gamble because they are hoping on getting rich and would comes to point on where money isnt his problem then he might probably stop since he do have already on the thing that he do aims for but still this thing would really depend on what are the things on his mind.In my case i would still play but it wont really be still the same when i was before.

7354  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do you even gamble? on: December 04, 2017, 03:07:13 PM
I gamble for fun and entertainment. I try not to let it get out of hand by setting rules for myself. I set an amount of money that I can gamble with each week and I stick to it. This seems to work for me and I treat it just like a form of entertainment that you would spend money on like video games. Sometimes when we gamble with a small amount we might be lucky to double it which means we can use it the next day to gamble so it is a good thing for us even if we dont play for profit
I strongly agree that gambling games are only used for entertainment only because gambling games are very risky and if we rely on gambling games to earn revenue then it is the wrong action. I am very avoiding risky things because when we do it we will easily get addicted. Addiction is a bad thing and we will be able to get a life as well as a nightmare if affected it.
Gambling isnt bad but if you do already come to a point on where you are already addicted and been compromising lots of things specially your priorities and responsibilities then its the time that you are already doing the wrong thing. Its hard to believe that making a living with gambling but there are actually people who did able to do such thing specially on those who played poker and other skill based gambling games.This should really intend for entertainment purposes but there are people who did find another way to benefit even more.

That is a good move but what do you think about high transaction fees?

I think you may need to consider to design your game based on other altcoins which can confirm transaction faster with the very low fee then you may get players. No one wants to waist so much transaction fee to bet.




Yes, this might do since btc are on huge transaction fee but still people are used to btc rather than other altcoin. May be it is the best alternative to do since altcoin have better transaction speed and fee. But you will find that there will always better player on btc rather than altcoin on most site. Altcoin is only some diversion to them after they losing some btc. But it is really good if OP can give some altcoin out
Why would need to choose if you can have both? Since there are still some people who do always prefer to use up bitcoin without minding those fees but i would say regarding on how high the tx fee nowdays then they will surely change their mind and might switch to altcoins.On this case putting both options would really be an advantage thing because if gamblers would able to see this they wont really hassle theirselves on which one they would select.It would really depend on their preference.
7356  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When to leave the game? on: December 02, 2017, 07:49:01 PM
As you know that you need to stop and leave the game? How can you feel this moment. I almost always lose their money because they can't learn when to leave the game. I'm not sorry to lose. I have a lot of money not to lose, but I can't keep the winnings if I'm lucky.

Once you got addicted in gambling it's hard to quit. It's true that gambling can even make you a millionaire in just one click, however it can do the opposite in just one click too. So, as much as possible before you get drawn to gambling, you should avoid it and quit for good before you get addicted to it.

I agree. Gambling could either make us rich in an instant or could make us broke in an instant, if we are one of those lucky people out there which is making a lot money through gambling, then let's do gambling all the time since there is no harm on doing it, but if it is the opposite then think again, you might regret it in the end.

We have this kind of instinct that we should leave gambling in an instant if we are losing in a row because it is a sign.
I dont really believe on the thing that a certain person is always lucky which they can able to make money anytime on playing gambling unless if he hit up jackpot then that would really be a lifetime opportunity for him to be rich but we do know gambling doesnt always end up on winning anytime but rather most of the time we do go end up broke.Leaving on a certain game is the hardest thing because gamblers do push theirselves to play even more even they are already losing so much without even thinking that they should stop for that particular day.

After a month of hard work I have to pay quite a lot of things. I just got one about 200$ to invest in bitcoin. Should or should not. Please help me !  Lips sealed
You should be thankful that you have still money left to spare on investing into bitcoin because not all people do have the capability to save up on a single month this is why instead of saving up they would tend to earn up for making task or works here on bitcoin world. $200 isnt really a bad amount to invest on.Its either you would just simply hold it on bitcoin form or either you would decide to actively trading it an re-roll until you make it big.There are lots of options actually.
7358  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do people still play dice? on: December 02, 2017, 05:08:47 PM
I've often wondered what motivates people to throw their money away on the dice sites because they are not very entertaining.  But, I will have to admit that for a time I did try some of the sites that have the programmable  "auto bet" features to take advantage of the math associated with betting progressions and poorly programmed bankroll management schemes ---> they have gotten better at managing their bankrolls since then however.

The player will not be run out of this a kind of gambling games, is it because we people are different characteristics and passion of our life, that's why some other people still playing this simple game a dice site because they're already satisfied enough to make their self fun and get entertained of it, also get out of boredom in that time.

Dice is simple game and same time it is full of entertaining game, i don't see any gambler deny it that dice is not entertaining game. Even my all friends they are sports gamblers but they usually play dice game because of simplicity and second it is true, we want to relief from our boredom life then we choose different taste of game like dice.
too addictive , dice for me have much more risk than any other games .

i have a trauma playing that game , my life almost get broke . so my opinion might will looks one sided. a dice game has not special entertainment , you place bet and blinked then the outcome are there for you. which part make you entertained by the way?

Dice game is special for those gamblers who play it daily, if it is not a special game then why the rating of dice game is more than other games. May be you don't like it that's why you can't see any entertaining in it. But still i will say in gambling dice is famous game because of fun game.
Not only that since if you do try to see on how many dice gambling sites in the market you would really able to say that there soo much demand on this game which we do saw there are lots of dice sites everywhere and when you do try to visit those site specially on reputable or most famous there are lots of people who do play on it.Not only on a single day but on everyday basis.
7359  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you would win a Jackpot what would you do with the money? on: December 02, 2017, 03:57:18 PM
the one thing that i can do is withdraw the money into my other wallet and then withdraw 75% the money into my bank account and leave the rest in the wallet, maybe i will left some amount in my account so i can playing the games in other times. i want to save the money for another things and for my future so i have money if i am an urgent situations.
Good thing you have a plan if that happens. I think it depends now on the applicantion if in case you win a jackpot. Many people are having problems in that part of the plan because having lots of money can sometimes cause you to lose control over spendig especially if you're not used to holding a lot of money
You have a very good point, my fellow.  This is Women nature. People will definitely lose control over their emotions if something unexpected encounters them.

Not all of us are used to seeing a lot of money on daily basis and that is why staying calm under all sort of conditions is a very important skill for achieving  success in life. Anyways if ever I win a jackpot, I am going to put it in some real use by establishing my own business empire.
Staying patient in indeed very important skill to excel at any work. Person should be as coon as cucumber when dealing with money risks or like things where your luck is playing the main role because it just takes a second to turn things into your favor or against you.

In short, there is no need to quit the game when you are losing rather simply continue playing till last minute of game with the same spirit.
Being cool and do really have some plans ahead will really be a good tandem if we do really decide to sustain for longer.There are instances on where if we do already have lots of money sometimes we do forgot on the right things that we should do and neglect it since we are confident enough that we do have still lots of money to spare.If this kind of behavior would control you then expect some non-good things will happen for sure.
7360  Economy / Gambling / Re: FreeBitco.in - Win free Bitcoins every hour! on: December 02, 2017, 02:58:09 PM
I've been using this faucet but always end up with 0 when I try the games, any advice to actually build a balance?

Listen to this guy:

Very simple don't play hi-low game then you will not lose your balance.
Faucet money is very small and it can't last for long playing this game and also house has got high house edge and your balance will be eaten up faster. If you want to earn money then don't gamble either on this site or on any other site.
(edited in bold)

Don’t listen to this guy:

First, Accumulate at least 2000 satoshi.
Research game theories, betting theories like Martingale
It's harder than it sounds, but stick to your strategy with cool nerves.
Expect to zero your balance a few times before learning how to do the above 3

He is talking rubbish. Forget about Martingale, you risk more every time to earn little, and long losing streaks end up occurring, I’ve already explained it here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2107981.msg25261065#msg25261065


So this guy is telling him, not to listen to me. Therefore:
Do not accumulate at least 2000 satoshi (using the faucet. just let it go to waste)
Do not research game theories and betting theories (to learn how to bet)
Do not stick to the strategy with cool nerves (so u can bet like a maniac)
Do not expect to zero your balance

looooool great advice   Tongue    ... NOT

For the record, I never advised using martingale. I advised researching it and adapting it to your self (like I did).

Unlike Pedro, I won't tell you who to listen to and who not to. I will insist you do as much research as possible and listen to everyone you can before gambling your BTC

If you want to be 99.99% safe, then just stick to the hourly faucet. If you manage to roll 24 times a day for 30 days (with the 1000% BTC bonus from reward points), you should be able to make about $48 a month in BTC

Sorry, but I won't share my modified version of martingale in public
I fully agree with Don Pedro.
Advising to someone to do research about random strategies and suggesting that it will somehow help him is wrong, such strategies doesn't exists. Strategy will work and all of sudden it won't. If something is random and you can't apply math or long term strategy it is dice.

For everyone that rushed into concluding that I promoted Martingale:

Martingale by itself does not work!!!

A gambler must adapt it to his habits, luck and make sure he has enough Satoshi to survive many losing streaks, and think of little things like how likely would u get 2 streaks in a row, and how likely would u get 3 or more losing streaks in a row. the chance of losing literlay half everytime you lose, but there is still a chance, and u could use that to your advantage.

I'm not an expert or anything. since I started over 5 days ago, I only have BTC 0.00056093 in my balance... I waited till I accumulated 2000 sat, then just multiplied minimum bets (using a strategy somewhat similar to martingale) and increased my balance about 10% per day (trying to not be greedy). If I play for too long like I used to, I would lose my cool, get greedy and lose everything.

So again:

do not ignore anyone,
do your research,
figure out your strategy
practice with tiny amounts until u get the hang of it and grow your "cool tolerance". Its much easier to lose your cool/patience on larger amounts, but if u practice and lose using say 2-4k satishi you accumulated from the faucet, u'll eventually grow your balance and "coolness"  Wink

In the end, when it comes to gambling there are no guarantees, anything can happen and in this site (like most) odds are against you
Good advice but i would say not all people would really have that kind of coolness just like yours knowing that there are different types of person.Some wont really bother to make their small amounts into bigger ones or lets just say faucet gamers because they wont really be satisfied on those amounts to be used. No matter how big or small your bankroll is if luck isnt on your side that martingale of yours will surely wipeout your entire balance in a blink of an eye.
