To anyone looking for any kind of strategy, don't get your hopes up. There is no such thing that would consistently win you money in any gambling site. Usually those who are showing it is profiting are just cutting their whole betting history to show the part where they are actually winning, but for sure they are also losing from it in the long run. Since there is really no gambling strategy that can beat the house! It has been proven countless times.

It`s not about winning consistently is about making your chances higher as much as you can. Strategies for lucky based games are good but for them you need a lot of money, you can`t play with certain strategies with low bankroll. But when we talk about skill based gambling like poker is strategies can help you in play, there are patterns and you need to know how to take most of the hand, or sometimes to take a lead or back up and wait, but before learning strategies you need to know basic rules and to have some practice. In poker you don`t play against the house, you play against other people and your chances are much higher.
A very well said but sometimes what you are planning will always not follow as you want them to be. Considering you let your lucks to go high hoping that you will, of course win by setting up your strategy. But, have you ever wondered that every time you would win like right now you would always lose double as what you had win lately? Have you not wondered why is this happening when your luck was too high but you still keep losing sometimes? I bet you'll figure it out soon.
Gamblers do always failed out to figure out the real thing even if they do figure out they just neglect it and continue on what they are doing because of the aims that pushing them to continue further.
Strategies do act like spices on playing gambling it can add up the enjoyment and the thrill but wont totally guarantee you to make money if luck isnt on your side then expect a sure lose.
7422  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Worst mistake in gambling on: November 16, 2017, 09:57:19 PM
as a gambler my worst mistake i ever made before was to play poker and because i kept on winning i was in condition to play hard for as i remembered i played for over 24 hours and in the end i went home with an empty pocket and a loan from one of the financer in casino.  Sad

Playing for 24 hours straight? Are you even in the right way of thinking or you are totally out of your mind. Playing for that long will be making you lose what you had collected for the earlier time you gambled with poker. Don't do this, it's totally a disaster and a worst mistake.
Ive seen these kind of people which they do play poker for more than 24 hours  which is really put questions on my mind on how they do sustain that long? Even on playing 1-2 hours is already enough for me but yet there are people who do manage to play even more longer for crazy hours. Results might vary on how lucky we are on that particular moment. If luck then expect profits if not then expect theres a whole in your pocket.
7423  Economy / Economics / Re: Would a global disaster increase or decrease the Bitcoin value ? on: November 16, 2017, 07:32:07 PM
Not easy to tell but if the disaster would also limit the access to fiat money then probably the Bitcoin value would increase. But that also depends on the way that disaster would impact the Bitcoin infrastructure like internet and electricity. But in the case of global disaster the first thought of every human being on this earth would be how to save the life and then everything else.
When it comes to natural global disasters people wont really mind off on their money or any has value and would rather save their own lives first than on securing all of the assets they do have. Price or value of bitcoin wont really be affected unless if theres no internet which would really cause that there would be no transaction happen which means bitcoin would lost its value.
7424  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do people still play dice? on: November 16, 2017, 04:49:26 PM
I think everyone has his own favor. Like I feel confusing why people still play slots ? So hard to prove their fairness.
They do love slots and this is why people still play dice, we all do love dice so we are still keep on playing it and never quit. And the reason is that dice games are very easy to play and even a newbie that just watched us recently played it they can catch up.
Even if they wont watch any plays on other people a simple read up on the instructions or just on your own common sense you would able to identified out on how you would gonna play that game which is truly simple thats why its being played by most gamblers. Results are fast and some people do really like to see the outcome on an instant which is only possible on dice games and on slots too.

Yeah it's the easiest game of all time, no instructions needed or someone to teach a newbie. And if he just want to gamble with dice there's no need for step by step procedure. I totally agree that by using common sense those new ones can easily understand what dice really is.
It is mostly a game that you only need common sense, like you said, or just a familiarity with dice. But you could learn a lot from other types of strategies that you could impart in your gaming and that could significantly increase your chances of winning and that's what we all want right?

No, there's no need a common sense when you play dice. The results aren't guaranteed and it's totally random, so even how hard you'll analyze each bet that you make. You can't beat the house with it, strategies on dice are nothing for me. I tried many strategies before but nothing worked.
The common sense thing being mentioned here is about on a certain person who havent known dice gambling will surely able to know on how to play it with just using on his own common sense. Got it?
Even no one would teach you, you can still able to play it with the simpliest instructions been given. Strategies? Its common because most players or gamblers do create their own on daily basis.

You didn't even understand what it means that there's no need for a common sense when you are going to play dice. And if you understand it, we all know that newbies can easily understand that dice is a game like that.
That's why even if no one would teach you, you can play dice even without common sense.
Just a little misunderstanding on our points at first but i did actually get your point already which is really true.Even newbie minds will easily understand the mechanics on the game this is why i do consider this as the most simplest and the easiest game in town same as on slots too which you do only need to pull the lever and your are good to go.

Hi guys!
We all know that gambling is not only a fun but also potential danger. So are you limiting yourself somehow when gambling? DO you use casino's instruments to prevent you spending more money?
Or do you just limit yourself by setting a certain amount of money to spend? Or you don't limit yourself at all?
Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Yours OshiHugo, Oshi.io CM
yes i am,actually im not a typical gambler i only play to enjoy but before i play i'll make sure that I limit my self either win or loss.so if my capital loss or and my winning limit i leave the site.thats what i do and hope others will do for them to have good playing habit

I am not sure why there are different players that think they can profit from gambling. That is not the best way to gamble, it will just ruin your day since you are expecting to win big all the time, and worse, it will likely ruin your life if you think that gambling is for profits! That's just basically a wrong notion especially for newbies that have not experience gambling and started gambling for the first time.
People do really have different things on mind when it comes to gambling knowing that people do have different perceptions and views into it. Some can able to spot the risk on engaging on it and some doesnt really care as long they do gamble and follow on the things on their minds specially on profit making on the easiest and the fastest way which is only possible on gambling.
7426  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What if you can enjoy all the gambling on one site? on: November 16, 2017, 03:02:45 PM
I think there is actually no need for more ICO for gambling sites, why just don't allow everyone to bet directly with ETH or BTC and use smart contract to execute results like vdice.io does but they have also done ICO before launching the platform.

Talking about lottery and ICO, what is different in your lottery than what trueflip.io have?

I personally live to play video slots and roulette.
The cost of development is never a small amount.
We want to ICO, but we are not experts in ICO, our team is just developers. preparing to do the ICO, but we do not know whether it is right or not.
The lottery service decided that business was low. development of the lottery was suspended temporarily.
We need more developers to develop everything and do the right service.
will finish everything!! slot, roulette, sports and e-sports bet will be added as well.
We highly esveem your valued opinions. Thank you very much

- ICO can be beneficial if you have good team member behind but just need initial seed money. Before getting any significant amount from investors you guys have to prove that you can develop what you will promise during ICO.

- Beta platform before announcing ICO is must.

- You also have to put few thousand dollar to start off the project, no any big project like this can be started or ran by one guy with zero balance.

- No any developers gonna work for you if you don't want to pay him or not willing to make him partner.
Zero balance or you are just presuming that you can able to raise up without any funds in your own wallet. No one would really work for you and for sure you cant make it on your own since you would really need a team for it to be built or to start off and if you dont have any money to allocated on initial phase then dont bother regarding on this matter because if will really fail.
7427  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What would you do with your winnings? on: November 15, 2017, 09:02:09 PM
winnings should be brought home with a smile on the face but unluckily, most of the time winning once or twice will not let us stop and go home and even losing our wins and all the money in our pockets we still would not want to go home.

Not all the time, we can bring home the bacon quickly. There are encouragements that are circulating to our minds when we are winning. It's either we had to keep on gambling and lose those winnings. But if you are responsible gambler and you know on where you are heading. Taking home the winning with a smile on the face is something that we should practice.
first time you might able to bring nice amount of winning successfully , show it to the whole family and spend together indeed but second time and so on wouldn't work as smooth as the first impression. unless if you do quit forever after your winning which i really doubt a lot of people can do that with its addiction in gambling as you might always want to come back but go home with different result.

For first timers there would be beginners luck and that's a good idea that they'll use it for treating their family together in a nice restaurant eating with the profit you've made in gambling. And that's the taste of gambling and even you will keep on losing for the next try you do, you have tasted it and you'll never quit to it as you'll keep on thinking that it can happen again. Those good old days of winning.
Winnings on first time do really contribute on our addiction into gambling because we do feel the great thing that we did able to win on our first try out and become confident enough that we can able to beat the house on our next bets which we dont know that those begginers luck is the main reason for us to engage to gambling even more.
7428  Economy / Economics / Re: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HAVE A NASTY DIVORCE AND A FAT BTC WALLET? on: November 15, 2017, 08:12:34 PM
I see this thread is still bursting with misinformation, delusion and self righteousness. Remind me never to purchase legal 'advice' from anyone on this forum.

We'll probably start to hear about more than a few cases of crypto and divorce in the near future. If you're in the wrong country, ie America, UK and a few others, then your money, and crypto is part of that, being forcibly reallocated is a given. 

Agreed. I don't think you should hide it, as a) it's a dick move, b) it could easily come back to bite you on the ass if the truth comes out later - in which case the judge will throw the book at you. Best approach would be to pay 50% of the fiat equivalent if you believe there's still am lot of growth potential, or sell half and cut your losses.
Besides if you feel the need to go through the trouble of hiding your bitcoin investments to your partner then why did you marry in the first place if you do not trust in this person? This is why I have always thought that many people marry for the wrong reasons and that is why there are so many divorces.
You cant really escape that thing on which your wife will definitely knows all of your holdings and as you said we do trust our wives thats why we do decide to marry her. We do entrust all of our belongings and possible assets along the way and if you do have bitcoin then for sure you wife do really knows about that and making lies on the court will really put you on trouble later on.
7429  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: return as soon as possible and win back your losses . on: November 15, 2017, 07:43:16 PM
We all can lose in gambling  and lose our money but shall we stop or try to win back what we lost ?
I think that will lead you to lose again what you have. Those thinkings are keading to losing and it is so hard to forget about it. But when you know the fully strategies in gambling you eill no longer do that.

Correct, that kind of mindset will just be the reason why you would lose more money than you ever expected. Getting back as soon as possible doesn't mean that you could win back your losses, it just means that you are not wise enough on playing gambling, because you don't have control in yourself, so if you don't have control in yourself, means that you are a careless person.
people are too naive to think like that , gambling will never be that simple.

you lost a lot and recover it in the next day , that what always people think about. they forgot about how the house edge work to keep the profit for them and sucking money from the players. never come back for the sake recovering what you have lost , it will only get you in the deeper loss.
This is why gambling is really a profitable business because of these kind of gamblers which do really strive to cope up their loses on a particular day and they decide to play on the other day hoping that they can able to recover loses.If they are lucky enough they can recover but if not then for sure loses will pile up and would really wreck their own pocket or even his entire life if he dont quit early.
7430  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does experience matter in gambling? on: November 15, 2017, 06:00:35 PM
Anyone thought why roulette tables set top limits for bets?

Martingale is very popular but you have to manage "Drawdown Limit" that could be enough to cover all your losing steps. These losing steps can/will cost huge amounts


Yes. Experience will matter because gambling can be strategized. An experienced gambler already know  or experience the different situations. It can be his or her advantage to formulate strategies to win that certain game. Just like in life, an experienced individual in a certain skill or task is called as an expert. If you have expertise you gain more knowledge into something.


Yeah it does matter of course, but not all of the time, sometimes, even if you are a skilled gambler, you just can't beat the house and you will find yourself the one who lose. Experience will just going to help you to make some strategies(if you are playing POKER, sports betting and etc.), also to know when to stop, because sometimes if you are going to be greedy thinking that you could win if you are going to continue and get back what you have lost is pretty naïve move.

The experience will help you to make money when you are playing gambling games, and also it will help you to save money by not losing more money, it will help you to control your emotions in gambling. When we lose money means when we lose our control on the game. So experience is matter in gambling.

Experience will not help you to make money from gambling but it can help you to stop at a right time so that you can save some money without losing all your bankroll. Remember gambling results always depends on only luck not on any method or experience and this applies to both skill-based games and luck based games.

But what about famous poker players who made millions of USD playing poker either online or in land based casinos? I think they are somehow differ from other gamblers because that's a fact that they make money with poker.

I agree with you in general because most people are not like those poker stars and indeed when they play everything depends on luck.
There are reasons I think why there are players that are in the high stakes. Probably they have sponsors to help them with the money. Rich people made investments to them and hoping they could profit from it. I think that really happens especially if it's in the T.V. shows, they make more money out of it.

Is this really happening? I mean why to give your money to someone to gamble if you can do it by yourself? Everything depends on luck anyway so what's the reason for sponsoring a gambler? Maybe you are partly right about T.V. shows though. If a known poker star wears an ad of a company, the company has paid for that that's for sure but we can't know how much, so maybe they are not investing in his game but just pay for the ad.
It is just solely purpose for the ad and not to expect there even more than on that.  Letting people do play on your money is really a dumb thing and i would rather choose up on losing my own money in my own hands rather than on other people because i would do feel justice and im comfortable or doesnt have any regrets if i do lose it up compared on losing it from other people.

7432  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What would you do with your winnings? on: November 14, 2017, 09:20:10 PM
I've read here a lot about "Gambling doesn't make you rich" So I thought about it, and it does make sense. So what do you feel about gambling then? Just entertainment? I think that's not everybody's mindset.

In the back of my mind, I want to be rich but not because of gambling. But when I gamble, I still always want to win. So when you always win, you become more rich and more risk will be involved. Anyway, if I would earn a winning bet that would have a lot of profit from, I would withdraw the initial bet or the bitcoins I deposited to get it back, then still gamble.

If you would have a winning bet that would give you a lot of profit, what would you do with it?
Only few people around the world managed to get rich from gambling. Either they got lucky or simply they know how to play cards. We are just amateurs who try to win some money from time to time or i'm talking about my self at least. I made profits out of gambling and i used to spend them on online shopping but not anymore. I realized buying bitcoin is more important and better than wasting money on things i mostly don't use. If you want an advice, buy bitcoin with your gambling gains because it's the better option. You can sell your bitcoin later and make profits out of it.
Even spending bitcoin on gambling purposes is really such a waste but yet this is the convenient way on playing gambling online thats why we cant really resist on playing by using it. This is the reality and i agree on the thing you said that there are some gamblers who can able to make profits for longer runs but only to the games on where experience and knowledge is applicable.
7433  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Did you learn from your gambling mistakes? on: November 14, 2017, 08:52:46 PM
There is no excuse to learn from our gambling mistakes. I always keep the experience of mistakes in the book of my experience not to repeat at any moment. Learning aspect only make man better to survive good life. We should accept our mistakes then only we correct our self other wise we never win.
Not only this thing can be applied on gambling but also in real world situations on where we should really learn from all the mistakes that we do comitted so that on next time we wont able to repeat it again and for sure we would avoid it as far as we can because we do already know the consequences if we commit the same mistakes again.

This is something that makes me a dilemma, on the one hand I want bitcoin set by the government in my country, so the use of bitcoin can be free without any obstacles, so far I am hampered because the government in my country still has not decided on bitcoin, if bitcoin has been legalized in my country , I have the freedom to transact using bitcoin in offline. But on the one hand I do not want bitcoin set by the government for the use of bitcoin can be free without any law that is prophecy for bitcoin.
They wont really able to regulate that stuff even on imposing directly tax on it.Knowing bitcoin is an decentralized thing thats why most government would really see this as an issue which they would really tend to ban or block it and we did see this already on some countries which is really sad because they do only saw the negative side of bitcoin without trying to see its benefits.
7435  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think you are a gambling expert? on: November 14, 2017, 05:47:46 PM
Not really, but in some gambling games, I am experienced and sometimes I feel to be an expert. Card Gambling like Poker, I know quite enough, and I understand the game pretty well. Its not that I always win but my predictions gets hit right most of the time.

Talking about overall gambling world, no I am not. Because I don't gamble much, very limited so my gambling expertise is very limited to one or two games.
It is quite okay to gamble via the two or three methods. No one could really claim himself to be an expert in this field. All we can do is to improve our sense of predictions so that they could hit the scale at the right place. Gambling is not about becoming expert.

It is just a fun thing so I don’t take it seriously and as you said, my gambling practice is only restricted to once or twice in a month but not on regular basis.

I only gamble at sport betting so I take it quite seriously. I read news of all teams, predictions, analysis, statistics, injured players, formations and everything before I decide to bet on a specific event. Of course experience is another thing which you only acquire with time spent in gambling (and I have quite some years betting) and both things together, reading and preparing together with your experience can make you an expert in sport betting.
Its really possible to be an expert gambler specially on sports because you can really make preparations regarding on your bet.Experience do really attained for how many years or days have passed on engaging into sports betting which would really give you the idea and the knowledge on it. It might not give you the accurate assumptions but somehow can be manageable if you did well on your research skills.

Hello,

Need your opinion about my game.
This is blockchain based game with provably fair.

My game working about 3 months.
Game has not many players..
If running Raffle then more players (raffle stopped now)

Please answer to few my questions:
1. Need add Bitcoin Cash?
2. Why don't you want to play in my game?
3. Min bet 0.0005BTC It is high for you?
4. If I will add BTH, do you want try this game?

Thanks!

I won't argue that this is not provably fair, since you don't actually need to prove it to be provably fair due to it being based on the block chain. The problem is that people don't like block based games. The reason is that people bet through depositing and when they win they get the money directly to the depositing address. This gets really expensive in the long run, when fees gets higher. Unlike if you create a casino that does not require a deposit for each and every bet.

I don't think BCH will help you nor lowering the minimum bet.

The main thing here is the "interest" of people regarding on this kind of gambling game which i do already have seen lots of similar site regarding on this system.Same as you said i dont really have any doubts regarding on its provably fairness since its being based on blockchain hashes last digit or char on picking on its winners but this game isnt really enough to get some attention this is why theres no people do play on it.

It is very health to everyone to share tips. If I have any doubt I might ask and put query and lot of people share their practical experience to clear my doubt so that I can gain a lot of knowledge from each and everybody. So it is one type of helping people also with their experience.

True it is good to have tips but it is kinda confusing if the tips we get is opposing each other.  I believe people share tips for good reason and that is to share their knowledge about certain stuff.  Aside from that it is a fulfillment if they gave the right tip.  Some guy build up their reputation through giving right tips in sportsbetting. And later on monetize their knowledge if they get enough followers and reputation.
If you would decide to listen up too many tipster then you would really got confused specially when they do give the opposite selections on each sport category that you do follow and thats why we should take it one at a time and test it out if their given tips do have a good winning rate or not.If not then jump in another tipster its just like that and i agree on what you have said that most of them are building their reputation and monetizing them when the network becomes big.

Would it be possible for a group of extremely rich billionaires & other powerful individuals to manipulate the bitcoin market? e.g. Pump and dump, exposure to news networks, lobbying for favourable bitcoin regulation,etc Huh

It is hard work to convince other rich billionaires and other powerful people to meddle with bitcoin market, for many of them bitcoin is plutonium they dont want to touch it. Warren Buffet for example he spoke about bitcoin many times and got it wrong. There are many billionaires who embrace bitcoin today but it is harder for them to meddle the market than compared to 2014 when market cap is under one billion dollars.
Chances would really be there on which bitcoin can really be manipulated if big players are deciding to join up with this thing but come to think off that most of them wont really bother to invest on bitcoin. Those people can possibly manipulate prices since they do have the capability on doing such thing and knowing 1B price allocated will really affect the market for sure.
