can this world stop in gambling?
someone who like to gamble hard to escape from the gambling trap. almost like a drug addict. Even after they went bankrupt still struggling to gamble by borrowing money for gambling. Actually what do they expect?

If you feel like gambling is bad for you then don't gamble because most likely you are right. But there are two different kinds of gambling: gambling for profits and gambling for fun. The former is a bad thing for most people indeed because they act almost exactly like you said. The latter though is not so bad, because people can relax with it and that's what people need the most sometimes.
Being more responsible in your self is important if you feel such like that don't gamble anymore it will lead you to brokenness and emptiness. It can lead you also to stress and being depressed that can lead you to death.

That is a possibility with gambling and we shouldn't forget about that. However, as I said, gambling can be good for you if treated the right way. You shouldn't expect any profits from a long term gambling. On the contrary, you have to be prepared for losing some of your money. If knowing the consequences you still want to gamble for relaxation purposes then it's ok, just don't spend above what is a small amount for you.
expect nothing but entrainment right? it is always easy said than done  Sad .

especially for those people who have become gambling addict , they don't know when to stop and just play chasing what they have lost in the past . people will remain gamble to get additional money .

That's how it is in most cases but we have to admit that it's bad. They have to admit it. The addicted gamblers have to acknowledge that gambling for the purpose of big profits which can make your life better is an unrealistic thing, and whoever tries to do it ends up in bankruptcy. Only thus they can switch to pleasant gambling with much smaller profits but with much smaller losses either.
This is the way on how i do play gambling which i do only risk a small amount which would cause up for me to lose smaller amounts too which isnt too painful when you lose it up since you know it was really just intended for gambling purposes no other than that but the thing about aiming for making money or changing your life because of gambling is really there on some people which this kind of aim do really push them hard to their limits.
7402  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin - New form of Budget for poor countries on: November 21, 2017, 07:15:20 PM
Hello guys, I often read news about poor countries and a new idea came to my mind.
Imagine countries which have budget not more than 10 billion (milliard). Usually these countries import products from other countries and use USD for this. So some of them has national currency and their exchange rate to USD often changes (sometimes on bad side). If their economy fails on some steps, it will affect a lot to people + they depend on nat currency/usd exchange rate. National bank has to sell some usd in order to lower exchange rate and make it a little bit stable but it isn't fix.
I want to say that if they officially invest in bitcoin (they had to do it some months ago).. Imagine price is 2000$, budget is in bitcoin and after some months it rised to 6000$, they get 3x budget.
But no one cares about that.. Bitcoin is a way for them to develope quickly in an ultra fast way.
You can say that since you do able to know bitcoin and do have knowledge about on its benefits and usage but we do know that not all people do have the same knowledge and awareness specially into bitcoin which they didnt even know that this thing do exist.If they do then for sure they will decide to invest without any hesitations because of the opportunity that it gives. This is reality and we cant change the fact that there are people who would really stay on their status quiet for some time.
7403  Economy / Gambling / Re: Satoshimines - Consistent and very profitable Bot! #BETA Version on: November 21, 2017, 06:32:48 PM
But the question is how can you determine on which tiles are mostly being clicked? This is why i do really have negative doubts on this one because i dont really believe that you can able to exploit the house itself.If they are not fair then i guess having some patterns would really be discovered.but how??

Well if it's per-player you can bet a bunch on the same tiles many times in a row then bet on completely different tiles. It could possibly be possible to exploit a house doing this, but it depends on if they take into account the amount of the wager and such. But remember that the house is completely in control of what tiles the mines end up on for every game.

Exactly this! " the house is completely in control of what tiles the mines end up on for every game." I will give you an example of what is happening there: If you play like 100-200 games with low money at certain squares, you will notice that bombs will start appearing more times at that specific squares. You could exploit a house by doing that.

But still this is based on your theory right? If this can be proved so everyone will be profitable to play on their site, on which gambling industry never give easy money for players here. And btw what is max bet and max profit there? I do not think that they really have a big whale to play there since their is not a provably fair like RGB said before
Its a matter of taking chances and I'm still in doubt that this can really be profitable for the users itself, maybe those lucky people who did try and entrust their luck using the bot are the one who gain benefits from it,and I'm also waiting for some proof from those who claimed that they use it and earned from this bot.

I already asked for few times and yet OP does not even give some proof. He only claimed that his bot is working and now he already claimed 1 btc for that instant of time? I wondering if anyone really go into this bot and try it. Until now I never saw anyone update for their winning bet unless some other account which may be refer to OP alt account

For OP, if you really withdraw those money but you do not want us to know your secret of this bot may be you can give us some proof about your transaction id and the address that you withdraw it
Dont bother to ask because he wont show nothing for sure because these things arent real at all and hes just keeping on assuming that hes already making money and withdraw some amounts already.
People wont really believe as long theres no proof have been shown and i dont really believe too that there would be bots that do exploit or milking in a gambling site.
7404  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have inside info about a college b-ball game tomorrow... would YOU post it?! on: November 21, 2017, 06:01:40 PM
if I'm in your shoes I'll keep it secretly since fixed match are always there and if they seen a big bets against from what they originally have chances to change what should happen will be possible, for me that's a real risk that you suppose to keep it on hold so the chance of winning will still remain and
are you ready being blamed just in case the results goes to the other side?
He would really eat lots of blame when the outcome would really be different on what he promised since it is already a fixed match then outcome would really be expected and if i do have those kind of informations i would rather keep it for myself but if you are a greedy type of person you can actually sell those valuable informations and if not then just give it for free if that thing do make you happy.
7405  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Relationships! on: November 20, 2017, 08:30:30 PM
Personally, gambling improve my relationships and reinforce my connection with my friends.
In fact, thanks to the bet that we're making together. We win together, we lose together, and especially we live the stressful moment together. Which is in my opinion the best point of all because we find someone who supports us and gives us hope to win.
i wish you would try to do some rightful thing with your friends than gambling.why not try trading together?you can enjoy and stay strong together by trading,not with gambling that rely on luck.i am happy for what binded you and your friends,but hope not in gambling.it was just an advice dont take it bad
Yeah, instead of gabling together you could trade together or invest together, that will bring a lot of emotion as well but with the difference that you are going to have a real chance to make money unlike gambling where you cannot make money unless you play poker or a similar game.

Thing is that trading or investing together isn't fun at all. Sure, it is less risky and more profitable than gambling, but it is boring, while couples that gamble together do that as it brings excitement to them. You might say that trading also brings emotions, but it takes at least week for that, while gambling brings them instantly.
It is obvious that such a thing is not fun at all, since the purpose of investing or trading is not to get fun but to make money but at the same time what can be more fun than to make a lot of money, I know it can be hard but if you are making money then things are good, worry when you are trading and you are losing money that is not fun at all.
If you're plan in life is to have multiple streams of income to support yourself with everything that you do then that's okay. That's what the goal is for, to have multiple money sources and that could be achieved with investments, whether it's trading, gambling, insurances, or what not. Just know that you shouldn't put everything in one place.
Gambling?It wont really be considered as a income support for yourself unless if you are an owner of such gambling site then its considered but as a player then its not suggested.It wont really be a good money source instead on earning money you would eventually lose it up either.Playing with loved ones isnt bad as long you dont make it as a hobby.
7406  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever gambled to escape worry, trouble,boredom,loneliness, grief or lose on: November 20, 2017, 07:52:47 PM
5 years ago i lost my girlfriend , that one person who mattered the most in my life and that i was going to propose to her just a while later .
Drinking , smoking blunts and gambling were my only resort . I spent days and days in my room without even getting out , showering or eating . All what i did was to get high or to gamble . Running dice for hours and hours , or following sport games to gamble on them, it happened to me that i made bets on teams that i never heard speaking about them before , or i didn't even know in which country they play . I lost lots of money and didn't wake up until my i went bankrupt and couldn't even pay my own rent . Only then i stopped and got back into normal life again .
Gambling won't make things better , it will just make it worse .

Thank you for sharing your story. That just goes to show that no vice can help in any problem. I hope people read your story and that they learn that gambling can never be something that would remove the bad feelings and situations we have. The best way to deal with any problem is accepting it and doing something to solve that problem. Basically, gambling was just intended for fun and entertainment and never something to relieve them of their problems.

We should accept the fact that there are some people who find comfort in gambling like they think nobody can understand what they're going through and gambling is only the answer in all of their problems. And some find comfort through drinking liquor and some do stress eating and many more things just to cope up with their problems and it's fine but just don't do stupid things if you're doing your job or when you trade and gamble. Better to pick up your thoughts and get back with your life.
When we are still on these kind of state which we are stress,anger and other emotion related things we should not try to do things like trading and usual stuff because we will surely do things which is unusual since we are still out of our mind or not totally in control because of the things we do feel on that time.People do really have different ways on having a relief on their own boredom or frustrations.

This table shows it all posted above by stompix. I am mostly got to react on 2023 all bitcoins would be mined and i do believe its just a typo.On the image given it shown on what year would be the last bitcoin to be mined and we are all dead on that year for sure theres no doubt on that. Printable? It isnt. Bitcoin would still remain as virtual and come to think off it do have fixed supply unlike on local fiats.
7408  Other / Archival / Re: Which one is more risky? Skill-based gambling or trading? on: November 20, 2017, 05:19:11 PM
I do not think that both have equal risk. I think that gambling is more risky than trading. In fact in gambling we totally depending on our luck, while in trading it is necessary that we must have some trading experience, we must also have good trading skill, which are too much necessary for expecting profit from bitcoin investment and trading. Therefore we can say that both do not have the same amount of risk.
I think that both of them do not have equal amount of risk. Skill based gambling is something still unknown to me.
I mean that how could one claim the use of his skills in gambling even if the entire thing depends upon the luck of the person.

No amount of skill can help you to win the bet indeed. On the other hand risk in trading gets reduced with the passage of time after experience and some techniques to set the deal and buying of shares is understood wisely. So, it is better to opt for trading.

Poker is skill based. To a point. There is an element if luck in everything we do in life but poker gives you ways to swing things to your favour and of course the other players can drop this too so you need to worry about them and be better then they are at it or you might only win bery little. Then they big boys are always playing and know what they doing so yes it is skill but it is not very easy.
Poker is the only game that i believe will have big effect when you are skillful .
You can see a professional poker player beat newbies a lot pf times repeatedly , you think it was because of luck?
No it is clearly because of skill , they know the time to go allin or stop , bluff etc.
if the game is player against players well we will see most of the time pro will defeat a newbies as they have a lots of experience and strategy
but sometimes or there would be a time that luck will come and newbies will also defeat them, skills is important in such gambling as it will
bring you a good advantage just like trading if you know how to play it correctly then you will also earn a lot.
There are really times on which even those pros been beaten up by newbies by some luck but not permanent because for those gamblers who do have experienced and more skills would really take up the lead always.This is why these things or capabilities do really matter specially on skills based games you would really have always the edge among other people.Just like on trading as long you do know on how to make orders in exact times then it would be sure profits.
7409  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you know if a gambling site is scam or not? on: November 20, 2017, 04:57:22 PM
I wonder how you do your research if a gambling site is scam or not?
You can know if a gambling site is a scam or not is by checking if there is a lot of people who plays in that gambling site and see the reviews of that gambling site. Nowadays, it is very hard to trust a website or other people because you might get scammed or hacked so it's better to check it.

Now it is not a hard problem, you could search it by a lot of ways, that any gambling site is scam or not. But in bitcointalk all gambling sites are trustable and popular by the different games wise and a huge people are continuously play in these sites. Then why we need to choose any strange gambling sites. I usually play in bitcointalk's gambling sites and also i see which site is popular then of course this gambling site much be trustable.   
you just give people an information that could be misunderstood , not every single gambling site announced and actively promote their own game here legitimate , sometimes they are shady even have spent thousands dollar as promotion.

look at betcoin.tm the site run by forum donator member (he used to be trusted) and still the site are so shady.
Its not really enough for me to play on a site which it is only being marketed well and do introduce by some high ranking member.It wont be enough to convince me to deposit on such site.The main thing i do check first is the community who do play on it.Checking some feedbacks on the site and the number of players who do play on it because when you do see its all on positive then thats the time i do decide to try out,not just on putting up randomly.
7410  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Did you learn from your gambling mistakes? on: November 19, 2017, 06:07:12 PM
Many gamblers know that they can't win money from gambling but they keep on gamble again and again but not with a small amount. Some people even borrow money from others to gamble. That means they never learn from their past gambling mistakes.

Are you doing this kind of gambling mistake?
I learn in gambling that don't be greedy to much know your limit and not everyday you have the luck to win a lot of money. So it's better just to play for entertainment not to play for to earn a lot of money in gambling because no one have become rich in gambling only the dealer and the owner of the casino are the one's who became rich.
Good to hear at that you do able to learn on your past mistakes which should really be done on those people who are addicted on gambling but the main thing is that we should avoid the possible addiction and we should not  wait for it to happen on ourselves because it will result non pleasant thing. We should not come to a point that we are almost losing everything.
7411  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Dividing your salary. on: November 19, 2017, 05:27:45 PM
In my view, I will spend 50% my salary for Bitcoin. Bitcoin always grow, therefore, I can believe I will earn money when investment.

You must be earning huge salary then, or you can somehow survive without food and paying fees Cheesy  50% sounds impossible to invest somewhere, i tried to spend as less as possible one month and in the end i could invest only 9% of my salary! Now that number is lower, around 60$ a month as  their price is huge now so i can't buy more.
If he can afford to put up 50% then let him be since we do have different decisions on handling our salary but as you said maybe he do have huge salary because putting up half of your salary would really be risky.How would you pay up expenses on daily living with the other 50% left on your salary unless if its big then its not a problem as long you do know the risk you are facing on here on bitcoin investment.
7412  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: November 19, 2017, 05:00:11 PM
Wow, what a match of Warriors against Sixers. They made it through 22 points trial and won by 124:116. The third quarter was 47:15!
Nice comeback for warriors i though they will not win because of halftime points spreads the sixers did a great scoring points especially on 1st quarter.

Incredible the Third-Quarter of Golden State! when they are concentrated they are unbeatable.

Boston continues to win, now they have 15 consecutive victories. Another win also for Houston.

disappointing instead, Los Angeles Clippers (who have so many injuries: Teodosic,Gallinari, Beverley) with the eighth consecutive defeat. The playoffs are far away

Golden state is so formidable i don't see any competition for them in this conference neither in the finals..i think they are going to reign for the next five to ten seasons if they keep playing this way. It's a  complete team with everything.
Possible but lets see on what would happen along the way i have seen some potential team that would really tied up on this team. Hard to admit but GSW is too damn hard to beat up. When you see some plays that they are almost losing but the possibility of comeback do really happen unexpectedly.
7413  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to Turn Gambling into a Profitable Activity on: November 19, 2017, 03:36:37 PM
There are no guarantees in life, that is true even in gambling. Personally I think yes, small amounts will help in reducing your risk and and spreading it out. But that doesn't directly translate to profitable.
You are right,mate. There is no guarantee with gambling, It's too hard to turn it into a profitable activity unless if you are so lucky, then you will be fine and get a huge profit. Personally, always i avoid any kind of risk, so mostly i gamble with low amount, I don't like to feel bad, after lossing a huge amount.

The easiest and most realistic way is to turn your gambling habit into another, more useful activity. Use your money for other activities. You better use your money for investing, creating a website, creating an online business, opening up online jobs, doing hobbies, helping others and more. It is something that is definitely profitable and the most powerful way to turn gambling habits into something better.

Rather than risking your money on something uncertain, the more you use your money for something you like and something you can control.
So you do not believe that gambling can be a profitable activity? Well, maybe you are only looking at the bettors side, the profit can be possible when you operate a gambling site or if you cannot afford you can try investing at casino's bankroll, that is proven profitable but you have to be patient enough because it's not instant.
If you do put yourself in the status that you are the owner of that certain gambling site then you would really have the edge and turns out to be profitable for long term specially if there are lots of people who do play on your site because gambling do really works on this way which we are really destined to lose up in the end of the day if we arent lucky enough.As a player we cant really escape that reality.

You are telling me to buy and buy. I cannot even buy a pack of cigarettes. And even if I had money, I would not spend it on buying bots that could lead me to my downfall. I am not trying to sound clueless, but I do not even know how to create "a bot supported bitcoin poker room account".

I think this post is as complicated as ever. If you have tried it and it worked for you, then congratulations. But I am not going to risk my coins and give them to the so-called "Bot.
Therefore it would be much worth off to buy cigarettes than on risking your last money into these kind of useless bots.Fixed potential income cant really be guaranteed on these kind of ways since no bot can really give you constant profits and come to think off that they are just tools not totally the one who make money for you.I agree on what have been said above why this year and half old thread has been bumped.

When you do ask about the ratio i dont think that someone could give you a precise answer on that since this thing is random which means you wont need to have 100's or 1000's of referals just to get one active player because instances that you might get directly that one person on a single sign up came from your referral link.This is always been part if you do affiliate marketing which turns out that all of the people you do invited or prefer only a small number of them turn out to be active.
7416  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If money would not be a problem, would you still gamble? on: November 18, 2017, 07:16:22 PM
For me gambling is just fun it is always good to get profit gambling but I never see it as a way to make money. Even if I had loads of money I would still gamble albeit the stakes would probably be higher.
it is not fun if you make a huge loss then it means you are just trying to set a mindset that you are not addicted if you are gambling just few dollars once in a month or even week that is only when you gamble for fun
You are right, With Huge loss, we don't call that a fun, Generally people who said, that they do gambling only for fun not for profit, they usually bet with low amounts, I mean few bucks no more. By the way, I am usually play with few dollars, and i don't consider gambling like a source for profit. I just play it for the pleasure and the fun with my friends.
But most of us would really play gambling as a source of income which is common among gamblers and losing small amounts on my plays do really hurts me thats why i dont play too much and dont tend to add up more money if i lose up on that particular day. If the situation comes that if money wont be a problem then i would really still gamble but just for fun still only the changes only here is that you do have the money to spent on.
7417  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you would win a Jackpot what would you do with the money? on: November 18, 2017, 01:58:56 PM
Just seeing the word itself winning jackpot lot of colours in my mind playing. If I would win a jackpot with that money I will buy all my household things and if there is balance left in my pocket I will play again to try my luck again. As all professional gambler do.

How much a jackpot estimates? If that jackpot is a real big number, I won't only buy household things but I'm going to buy and build my own dream home. I believe that such jackpots can start to help you build out your own dream home or buy your own dream car. I like to see what I win and will not gamble for awhile.
Buddy, as much as any jackpot prize, if you scatter like that, the money will run out very fast and you will not so enjoy the money. That's the right of each, but I think, jackpot money will not be too valuable if we waste too quickly. As much as any money, if we are not wise to use the money is like nothing.
 

People are different when it comes to money either on fast or slow way of gaining it and since we are talking about jackpot money then its the fastest way. Some would really spend it unwisely which would really end up on nothing in the end and some would invest and some would buy the things that they do want.Its just really peoples preference since we are different on any ways.
7418  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Randall's Gambling Techniques/Strategy List on: November 17, 2017, 09:53:11 AM
this useful strategy from all gambler especially to the beginners but playing in gambling are not good to make profit as many thread discusison about gambling i always suggest to the players playing gambling are for fun not to make more profits because thats idea's people become addicting in gambling, the winning bet you can earn while enjoying in gambling are an extra benefits and also set up your limitation to avoid more losses.
If you are aiming for profits always on playing gambling then better to quit while its still early and addiction isnt there yet because once it would stick to ones self you would really have a hard time on getting away from it. Those kind of strategies listed on Op are common but thanks for the effort on elaborating this stuff and would really give some knowledge to newbies on how they would gonna play gambling with some little strategies but  they should not expect too much because these methods arent meant to make you rich.

Martingale's probably the strategy that many people would advise anyone when it comes to dice. Its good that it worked for you but as you yourself can attest, in the long run you can lose all your earnings just like that.  Best strategy i can think of is to withdraw the earnings you have and put it in more controllable things like trades

Best advice so far. Will keep in my head.
Thanks.
I guess you already got the answers regarding into your question and reading up all previous post are actually true and real life experiences and those loses of yours would really be an eye opener for you that we shouldnt really be greedy when it comes to gambling. You are just lucky enough that you do able to manage to grow up faucet amounts which is actually hard to do specially on freebit. co since it do really have a big HE.

Good for you that you did able to reach your ROI knowing that hashflare is already putting duration on their new contracts which is only 1 year. Being worried wont really be felt since you do know that you have earned already from the site but from those new investors who did just got it on recent months will really have the risk on not reaching out their roi once hashflare would decide an exit scam.
