I suddenly decided to leave gambling alone because as what i observed in my life that im not satisfied if i dont bit any gambling games because iam addicted that game, because im expecting to much to win but in the end im lossing. So i decided to stop ang think another way how to earned money not in gambling.
It is good that you have such thoughts, I hope you can quit gambling as soon as possible because many can only say that but in the end they still gamble. one more tip from me, you dont need to say you will suddenly to leave gambling alone but you need to prepare what you need to fight the desire to gamble.

It is not a one time off fight. It is a life long struggle. So you may be able to win the war temporary but be aware of the constantly challenge to resist the temptations. So you have to wire your mindset and also be aware of the triggers that may lure you back so you can think of strategy on how to overcome such triggers or avoid the sticky situation.

Just sold my ferrari while gambling. I have never seen anyone go rich from gambling. And I dont think I will either.


Lol that's what most rich people do when they get addicted to gambling. they end up selling properties and belongings to sustain thwir gambling habits. I think its more common for rich people to go bankrupt than regular people like us to get rich


Gambling is meant to extract money from the riches as they can pour tons of money into the systems. So it is very common that you will see a lot of brand shop loves to setup their outlet near casino places. As for getting rich from gambling, it is usually more likely the casino investors that is getting richer and those who gamble are getting poorer.

Personally i feel that gamble is always fighting a war at a losing end. There can be miracle happening at times but that cannot sustain you to win. On the other hand, invest is similar but you are weighing the risk and the reward. You will learn how to choose a path where the chances of profit outweigh the risk and is more likely to profit.
744  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to Turn Gambling into a Profitable Activity on: May 25, 2017, 11:23:05 AM
One of the best gambling method to earn is to invest in gambling site/casino. So far, it has been quite a simple profit method as some of the TS already have shown weekly profit from casino.
745  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: You know you're a Bitcoin gambler when... on: May 24, 2017, 11:24:15 AM
I used to a bitcoin gambler and how do i know it is when i have to buy more btc so i can gamble more. It started off as btc is the cheapest way to gamble for me. One soccer match cost like $2 to bet while the betting station in my country has a min bet of $10. So naturally i will like to bet on btc cause i also can save like half an hour of queueing at the bet station.
746  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When is Gambling Like Investing on: May 24, 2017, 11:18:59 AM
Gambling is like investing, except with greater risk & greater rewards.

Investors examine a prospectus, stock options, do comparison shopping searching for undervalued assets to invest in.

Sport gamblers examine athletic stats, win loss records, trends, game history & other variables searching for the right team or athlete to bet on.



You seem to contradict yourself. Gambling does have greater risk because you are always in disadvantage. However, that does not means greater rewards. Rewards are usually calculated with the inclusion of risk level. So in the case of gambling, the risk outweigh the payout so it is always not a wise thing to gamble. And that is why investment in casino has been quite a profitable choice.
747  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling loses and wins on: May 24, 2017, 11:16:58 AM
Reason why I gamble is I want to be entertained and kill time. If I will check my loses and winnings every day that's not entertaining anymore but it will add more stress and worries since I'll be worried that I'm losing my money. Just play, if you lose, so be it.

I like your attitude. However, there is still a need to constrain on how much you are spending. If you dont have a limit, you may be playing more than you can afford and that is where all the problems will start to appear.
748  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: BTC getting too expensive to gamble with on: May 24, 2017, 11:13:32 AM
As suggested it's good to move towards altcoins to experience the gambling, if you consider bitcoin to be too expensive for gambling. Lots and lots of gambling websites have started to accept altcoins into gambling activities. One such reputed gambling website is betcoin.ag, where you could get access to all gambling from dice to sports betting with altcoin acceptance and easy interface.
There is no difference using altcoins it is like your just converting your bitcoin or trading your bitcoin into altcoin and use that tho. Many of gambling website are preferred to accept alternative coins for gambling activities but not all for me much more better if i use bitcoin for the better and hassle free when im selling altcoins. Converting altcoins to bitcoin will cost you fee too.
nowadays people worry about how the price of bitcoin so high but i think it was not a real issue , there is a smaller denominations of bitcoin called milibitcoin, satoshi etc , people could simply use it to make it fit to your fiat pocket .

or you can take advantage when hold a lot of bitcoin to not adjusting it to fiat, people should not worry.

The casino will also auto adjust accordingly. Just like in the past, players always bet in multiple of btc. But as the price increases, they are now betting in mbtc. I believe as it rise further, the denomination will get smaller too. And btc is also able to split even smaller than satoshi if needed.
749  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling problem on: May 24, 2017, 11:08:23 AM
I think the main reason why we still glambling is being greedy. Even we always want to stop but they want to play in a consequence that want to win a money for next game. This will be a big problem, if not you win you will turn to stress and borrow some money to others and lost some time to our family. At the end you will have nothing.
We have different reason why we gamble but for many of the gamblers it is money, we cannot deny that because we will get the satisfaction of fun if we will also win. Because of that we are putting our time to analyze on how to win because gambling could give us an income that we can never get by just working alone. We have dreams for our future and sometimes we forget that gambling is created for fun and not for source of income.
Agreed and most of the time users agree all the above statement that gambling is fun and should never consider it as an earning source. What people think is that it's easy to earn through gambling which is not true for everyone, it's right for only the lucky people. I believe gambling isn't wrong until one participate setting limits and knowing his affordability.

Gambling is only for entertainment and the games are specially designed to make you lost money. So it cannot be used as a form of money earning. You may have been able to win a few times but that does not means to be the case forever. If people can use some strategy to win money, there wont be any more casino.
750  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Planned or impulsive gambling? on: May 24, 2017, 10:50:00 AM
The feeling of gambling itself is to create a impulsive feeling as it risk your possession and you may have a chance of not getting it back anymore. That is why gambling is so addictive and hard to control. So if you are planned gambling, you are not really enjoying the feeling of gambling and you dont tend to gamble much.
751  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino investment tracking on: May 24, 2017, 10:39:53 AM
It is so wonderful that more and more people are tracking and showing their investment in different casino. And to be honest, with just 30days of investment, some casino can get you 5% or so is actually very impressive.
752  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: hack the bitcoin network for 1000 btc? on: April 26, 2017, 07:03:44 PM
This was obviously a joke post, why would anyone hack the network and then give 1000 btc to him to then be paid 50btc..... lol it makes no sense

and the network cant be hacked anyway.  Wink

Dont be too sure about this. Anything is possible. Even bitcoin is believed to be safe as the support network is spread out and it became so huge that even the government used all the resources and they also cant be able to control the network. However, seemingly impossible, but there have already been a few cases that the fear of some pool taken away the basis of btc.
753  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC-e might have been compromised on: April 26, 2017, 06:55:06 PM
One thing that a lot of people do which is absolutely and totally wrong is using the same email/pass combination in more than one place.
And believe me a lot (seriously A LOT ) of people do it.

This basically gives access to hackers/crackers to all of their content.

The second thing is I hope that after all the news we heard about exchanges running away with the money or getting hacked, no one still leaves their money over there.

That is very true. You have to create accounts for more than 100 websites and how is it possible that you can remember all 100 unqiue password? So that is why many people end up the same password for everything. They just dont think of anything serious like being hacked, but rather they want ease to have access to their account. And this is the extremely vulnerable victims that the hackers will target.
754  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC is Gold 2.0 – What humanity has been waiting for centuries on: April 26, 2017, 06:50:26 PM
I agree with op that bitcoin is a good investment but only for time being. But bitcoin should not be compared with gold. Both are different. Gold has two uses . It can be used as an investment as well as for ornamental purpose. Whatever happen gold has got its own value. But bitcoin is not like that. If tomorrow any genius software engineer develop something better than bitcoin, everybody will leave bitcoin behind. You cannot predict its price.

That's true... Bitcoin is more risky than gold investment. Technology is always being improved, and even faster than before. In the future someone can creates a better Crypto-Currency which can replaces Bitcoin with many advantages convincing big holders to migrate to the new currency lefting the Bitcoin. It can happen and as you said, we can't predict it and it's price.

Gold is material, Bitcoin is virtual, the safest way to keep wealthy is by keeping material stuff, especially when we are talking about gold or any other precious metal/jewel/mineral.

Although gold is physical and btc you cant even touch it, what really give the value of gold to be of such result now? Why the others dont have the same treatment as how the gold works? Because all these are just the perceived values, the society decide the price and it shall be. Similarly, btc is not physical but there are demands for it and there are supply for it. So how do we judge the price of btc, we will just leave it to the open market to buy or sell btc. Hopefully, people are more willing to try out btc.
755  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are your thoughts for Bitcoin in 2017? on: April 26, 2017, 06:46:39 PM
I expect Bitcoin to hit 1600-1800 by the end of the year, then dump for a while before hitting 2000 by February.
Lets see if I am right...

I am also very curious to see it happen too. Hitting 2000 is surely a huge milestone for btc. 2000 means that the total capacity of btc has doubled and more influence btc can give. I believe there will be more services that accept btc as a mode of payment.
756  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many ways are there to earn bitcoins? on: April 26, 2017, 06:42:53 PM
For starters you can claim from faucets but the down side of it is you only get to earn a little amount of satoshi's everyday, There is also gambling but too risky and lastly through trading, where you can double your profit if you know where to invest your bitcoin. trading is the most profitable way to collect and earn bitcoin but remember it is too risky to be in trading you can earn big but also you can lose big.

It is always the case about growing your btc. The higher amount of btc that you can earn, the more risky it is. Usually those HYIPs target on the victims by promising them that the return is as high as 20% per day. But the risky is that it will be equally as higher that they will run away with your money.
757  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you prefer 100% or 150% Welcome bonus ? on: April 26, 2017, 06:27:20 PM
Who wouldn't love a bonus ? I guess that is pretty idiotic if someone does not like the bonuses. But the problem is that these bonus often have big wagering attached to them and hence is the reason why people don't claim such bonuses. You might claim bonus and then regret since you will not be able to even unlock your original deposit amount.

That is why some people dont even want to get the bonus cause they dont want to tight their money into the site. You are unable to withdraw your money until you are being focus to play to a certain amount of roll over and these are extremely hard to achieve and that is why the site is so willingly to give you extra bonus as it is confident enough to take away both your basic bankroll and the bonus.
758  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you like slot games ? on: April 26, 2017, 06:24:42 PM
Large bankroll players can make serious amount of money from slot spinning, because they have good chance to hit the jackpot, if they can win jackpot, they can win big. Although it is difficult, it still worth to try. I have no luck on slots, so I don't like it.
Even without hitting a jackpot you can win serious amount of money compared to your bet size. I have once won over 10$ with just 0.01$ on bet. But never got same luck afterwards, it is quite risky but you can have lots of fun and you can play for long time with just limited bankroll in slots.

That is the wonderful things about slot because it can give out really crazy multipler. And the excitement when you finally hit the bonus and even better still, a bonus within the bonus and it will just keep chaining up your rewards, this is how it makes slot so attractive to play. There can be at times whereby i have seen that it got chained up to 700+ free games and the rewards are crazy.
759  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do small investments make sense? on: April 26, 2017, 06:19:06 PM
When we think about investments we imagine investors with big sums of money, so for btc casino it would be 1 or more btc, for instance. However, the minimum amount you can invest is usually 0.01btc which is only 10$. Do you think such investments are profitable but you earn small sums or maybe they don't make sense at all? Can someone explain it to me?

Yeah I think it is worth it after all even if it is just some small amount of investment you would still gain some profit,
And for me that's what counts in investment and that's the reason why you invested.

When it comes to investment it will always be worth it as long as it is real money. But with the amount of return that you will get that is not going to give you enough because that will depend on much you invest. But if you are a wise investor and you can grow that small investment into big money, you need to be hardworking.
Then i think simply you can draw a conclusion about investment with that opinion.
You cannot ecpect too much when you put small amount only to invest as the return is not that high and vice versa.
Worth or not as long as you can enjoy it and take a postive side , then why not? Just do it on whatever capital you have.

Yes, so if you are an investor and you only have small amount then don't expect that you will have good return. You cannot get what you want in return if you have investment and the money you allocate their isn't that big. Investment is not just about enjoyment, if you are just want to have fun then why risk it in investment?
Enjoy doesn't mean have fun lol , i mean as long as it makes you comfortable then why not.
If you did not get my point about that , i can simply say small investment will not gives you anything good as a profit just get another small additional money.
If you okay with that situation , there is no harm right? Just do it.

Yeah not all people are actually comfortable with investing big amounts especially those who doesn't yet have that much experience yet with investments. Its ok at first to start with small invesents as this would be a time to learn and make mistakes so when the time comes that you're ready to make big investments and you have a bigger capital, you pretty much would have an idea already of how things work

You are right. Even if you are rich, you also wont be investing huge amount cause you dont want over rely on one investment. It is always a rule of thumb to diversify your investment. And it is always good to start small and get more practical experience before you goes more deep into it.
Rich people dont leave the money die, they always invest their money whenever they find a potential project or potential activity. Therefore, if you have money, buy something that can save your life. Maybe in the future you can be rich

Rich people tends to know how to let the money roll effectively. It is not about buying about something that can save my life, but it is more about money prudence. Instead of spending money on declining thing, spend it on things that will appreciate in value over time. And your job is to identify such things.
760  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lost over 12 btcs gambling on dice on: April 26, 2017, 06:16:25 PM
Thats a sad year, i just lost 100% of my coins in just 4 months
tried a mix of strategy, safe ways, risky, playing just a few times per day
but results are always the same
you lose in the end
i feel cheated
its unbelievable
know
why the house always win?
And you see people saying "it happens, you can not win in a long run"
why not? why i cant win in a long run?
why we never see a casino losing and closing the doors?
why 999999999% profiles of the top gamblers are negative?  Huh
 Undecided
but you know what i like? I like when the house eat the shit back
when someone manage to find a bug and make 6-7 digits over it  Cheesy
the house cheat, thats it



That is not cheating but that is just the reality works. By putting you in an odd position that is against you, by mathematically sound, you will tend to approach the expected mean the longer you play. That means, you can earn some profit or so at the first, but the longer you play the more likely you will end up losing in the end.
