Do you gamble at land based casinos?

I rarely go in real casino, people who went there need to have big money to gamble and i cant afford that. i remember going there with my friends and watch them play and went home empty handed. if you know that you have gambling addiction better to stay away and dont go there. people are losing their money because casinos are set up to make profit.
I visited few times to real casino, not in my country. I visited foreign, There in a casino it's free entry for foreigners we just show them a passport and they will allow us to play without an entry fee. If you want to play, you can play, or else you can just spend some time and come out no conditions. The land base casino is not worth to gamble, and this is my opinion. For me, online gambling is best.
782  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What type of sports you love in sports betting and why? on: March 05, 2017, 06:04:19 PM
of course football because football is a sport that is the most I know. I also keep abreast of the latest information from some of the big leagues like England and Spain. Especially in the Premier league I was followed. So football is the favorite sport. I even follow premier league more than any other big league. Premier league is the best.
I only bet on cricket and other sports only when I don't have a cricket event to bet on.
Cricket is good for gambling also since we can bet on ever ball and hence apply strategies like martingale which we cannot do in tennis or soccer. The only problem is that the matches for cricket are 10 times lesser than compared to soccer.
How you do betting on every ball. I never saw this options in a cricket game. I saw something like the team would score this much runs in some overs. But never seen the ball to ball betting. Please, can you share where you will do ball to ball betting? I too love cricket I saw this ball to ball betting in our country. But not in the betting site it's cash and carry betting b/w, two people.

Maybe ask your friends family or someone for help or maybe try to gamble little bit less every day and eventually you will not have the need to do it

Help from other people to quit is important. Especially if the gambler is not married, she can directly ask for help and support from her parents. Parents have every right to tell me what to do by his unmarried. So when parents help, allow him to assist in his own way. He will have freedom, but freely he would not do strange things to you.

The family members help must need to quit gambling. The friend's suggestions and some experts tips just give you one idea how to stop gambling. But your loved once only be with you until the end. So share your gambling activity with family members and follow some experts tips it will take some time, but one day you will stop gambling completely.
784  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your reason to gamble? Fun or profit? on: March 05, 2017, 05:56:01 PM
For me it's usually both hehehe

But these days I'm trying to make profit although it is kinda hard
Gambling should always be for fun otherwise it will become an addiction, I always see people saying that they are going to try the gambling for fun but they always fall into the mistake of making it a habit because they see how easy it is to win money, and they eventually lose money more than they gain.

Now it becomes staying safer without getting additions would be the biggest task in front of gamblers than looking for fun or profits from gambling.
i don't think people who gamble for fun automatically considered will not get addicted.
as long as you gamble often enough it will leading into addiction.
so no matter you gamble for fun or profit you cannot avoid the fact that gambling in a regular way makes everyone addicted.
Yes, I play gambling for fun, and I am not addicted gambler. There are a lot of people play gambling to have fun, and some people play to come out from work stress. They are regularly playing but they all not addicted gambler. Those who show interest on free money they will become addicted gambler very soon. But I am not this person.
785  Economy / Economics / Re: Do You Think Bitcoin Will Replace Dollar Soon? on: March 02, 2017, 06:39:40 PM
I don't think "soon" but I do think after 15 years or so it is a definite possibility. "soon" i guess is a relative term.

in a long time also, I suppose, bitcoin will not replace the dollar, because it can not own bitcoin but he always side by side with complementary term dollar

I have one doubt. The dollar becomes universal currency, and in all country, this currency will be acceptable. And  the Bitcoin price is also we will see the value of Dollar. If the Dollar not there then how can we give value to Bitcoin? Until and unless if the Bitcoin become physical currency till there Dollar doesn't have any problem. 
786  Economy / Economics / Re: Does the Price of Bitcoin Matter? on: March 02, 2017, 06:29:37 PM
I do not believe in steady growth in bitcoin. Every time we observe unreasonable price hikes on cryptocurrency and practical reasons for the decline is nowhere in sight.

Steady growth in any commodity in the real life occurs in the long term and not short term ups and downs. Similar in bitcoin, if you have checked the yearly charts and graphs you may have already noticed that.

There is nothing unreasonable in price hikes. Its not like petrol price which get hiked every now and then in our country. It depends on the demand/supply ratio.

Quote
It turns out that the price of bitcoin someone manages and makes a difference.
No one manages the bitcoin price in order to make any difference. Only the users and the traders can make a difference - and that is grow not decline.
Yes it's right no one can manage the Bitcoin price, it all depends on Traders and bitcoin users. How the Bitcoin users increased like that we see fluctuations in bitcoin price. And yes the price of the Bitcoin is matter, If the price is stable then no work for traders. And slowly the bitcoin users will slow down. To make bitcoin active then traders must be active. To make traders active, the Bitcoin price is matter.
787  Economy / Economics / Re: Why have Bitcoin instead of cash? on: March 02, 2017, 06:22:28 PM
1. You can't get robbed from your Bitcoin
2. You can lose money by dropping it accidentally
3. Bitcoin is safer
4. Bitcoin can't rip like paper money

This might not be done to bitcoin but:

1.  Your Bitcoin can be hacked thru malware and backdoor trojan
2.  If your hardisk drive crashed and cant be recovered and  you failed to extract the private key of your BTC you lost your Bitcoin
3.  Scalability is unsolved
4.  Massive dump of Bitcoin because of the unsolved issue.

There is always risk on everything, it is quite biased to just get the weakness of one subject and not the other one.  Though I admit  I would still choose Bitcoin because it is easier to transfer than money.

As long as you are careful, it is still OK to invest in bitcoin.
Bitcoin and fiat there is huge difference b/w these currencies. Fiat you can use it anywhere in the world, But Bitcoin you can't, you need to sell and convert it into again fiat currency to use Bitcoin. And Fiat has one stable value but Bitcoin price is always fluctuate and we can not predict the Bitcoin price.

But still I use Bitcoin, why because the price is high and easy to convert it into fiat and easy to transfer money through Bitcoin no limit.
788  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcoin Price Betting on: March 02, 2017, 06:17:39 PM
Its simple to me, everything in this world is based on chance and for that reason someone can win and another can lose simply by making a try. Right on this forum, I have seen a bet site that allows you predict the last number of your transaction id and if you correct, you win big and when you wrong, you lose all. its as simple as that when you are ready for it, just go with for it. But I am sure they will have a particular exchange site to serve as a model for their use...
The risk for these kind of betting is really high and with the high volatile nature of bitcoin you never know what the price would be even at a time gap of 5 minutes.Most gambling sites have a house edge which is much lower risk than predicting the price of bitcoin for a very small amount of time.
With a service like that even the exchange can manipulate the price of the coin if some huge amount is wagged . Smiley
This is the more dangerous thing to find what is the price for 5 minutes time gap. It's impossible to predict the exact price of the Bitcoin in particular point of time. No experts can give you the exact price. But this type of betting is more dangerous than other games in gambling. I don't take a risk, and I don't like to learn this betting.
789  Economy / Economics / Re: Why Doesn’t Western Union or Moneygram Use Bitcoin? on: March 02, 2017, 06:11:32 PM
I think if they enable bitcoin option currency as their transaction , major people will use bitcoin instead fiat since bitcoin provide smaller fee
But in other side , bitcoin still consider as risky investation so let say if they enable bitcoin and bitcoin value suddenly dump , it become major loss for their company
Why they need to allow Bitcoin as their transaction, Bitcoin is not related to western union and money gram, it is a unique cryptocurrency and to use this we don't need any other companies help. People can use this easily without any paperwork and without giving any document. So for me also the Bitcoin is best to compare WU and MG.
790  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin's Next Direction 2017 Predictions on: March 02, 2017, 06:04:44 PM
Thanks for sharing your predictions for bitcoin price this year. My opinion was that we will go back under 1000 again, but after this increase I'm not so sure in that. Do you really think that price will go back to 800 $, and that after touching 1300 $ mark? That is 500 $ drop and it's a lot, great for people who will try shorting but generally I dont like more then 30% of the price drops.
But I will follow this, when I see the price on 1300 $ I will sell all bitcoins I have, and I will buy again at under 900 $.
Don't know exactly that we will go back under 1000$, but if we compare last few months price it is slowly increasing. It's not increased suddenly. So my guessing is it will not go down, but it will reach slowly 1500$ within 1 or 2 months. If this price is stable for a complete year, then it's festival for Bitcoin users.
791  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you always missed the right time to sell/buy bitcoin? on: March 01, 2017, 06:15:53 PM
As a trader i do consider some trades that i missed on buying bitcoin on a cheaper price and those situations cant really be avoided because no one really knows whats the movement of bitcoin on next minute,hour,day,week and soo on but we should not give up as long we are on positive profits that means we are doing good.
Yes you are right, everyone will miss the right opportunity to sell or buy bitcoin, Because the bitcoin is price unpredictable, no one can guess what the price for next day is. So we just don't wait for a long time to sell or buy Bitcoins. When you feel the price is good, you can sell or buy the coins. If you wait for right time, then you will never sell/buy your bitcoins. You always sit to think for the right time.
792  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does the location affect when we gamble? on: March 01, 2017, 06:03:26 PM
I still wondered after watching one dice gambling tips on youtube. she suggested to use a vpn American countries. Do you think the state and affect our current location to gamble? , please give your opinion

Well that is ridiculous, there is no connection if you apply what she gave it you. but sometimes it depend on the country dependsif gambling in your place is open unto it. You don't need vpn but in other nations gambling is not legal, I think that's the time you can use vpn.  this is just only my idea in vpn but not sure about it.

Yes it's depends on country rules, in some countries gambling is strictly banned they won't entertain offline and online gambling both. But if any country bans online gambling you can access the gambling sites through using this VPN method. Then your Ip address will change, and you will get access to open the sites. I too have this much knowledge only, if you want to more information take some experts suggestion.
793  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: March 01, 2017, 05:53:32 PM

If you can treat gambling properly i guess there is nothing wrong.
But since nowadays a lot of people use gambling as source of income things turn wrong and worse.
They can not afford to lose but want to keep playing and get profit, it is not makes sense .

Alot of people cant control what they are doing so it is still advisable to stay away from gambling no matter what. Of course unless you own a very alrge amount of money that you dont care and willing to throw away than that is fine and apart from that it is actually wrong to gamble as it might lead to addiction
no , when you have a lot of money to spend you might will not choose to gamble at all.
there's a lot of fun things to do rather than have to spend their money into casino.
so basically it is not about the money you have , but about how you manage yourself to not ruin your life with gambling, the key is to do it occasionally, then gambling will not go wrong.

Of course that depends on the person, some people will choose other kind of things to do instead of gambling because they know that they dont really need it and of course if someone choose to gamble then he will have full responsibility for his own life because there is a high chance that gambling might ruin his life
That's right.
If one is a stable person that is not going to fall down for gambling and to be an addict, gambling is not a problem for him and just an hobbie.
But you should always be careful from not falling into it because it is could be a dangerous hobbie sometimes.

i just cannot imagine how someone can survive to be a gambler but not get addicted.
as far as i know gambling is addictive thing, once you get in you will facing a serious problem to leaving.
so basically gambling always be a wrong thing for common people (not fully wrong) , but everything back to ourselves on how you handle it.
How they will survive means, they are not a real gambler, and they play only for fun. If you love money then definitely you will get addict to gambling. Becasue it will give you easy money without any risk. But those who play for fun they love the game and they want to enjoy the free time. They don't care if they lose money. This kind of gamblers can easily survive in gambling.
794  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How should a good gambling site be? on: March 01, 2017, 05:48:13 PM
- innovative games, that's should be unique even the games are already placed on a lot gambling site.
- user friendly and the interface should run smoothly and more attractive, especially for game like dice, slot, ect.
- provably fair is mandatory.
- transparent.
- cash back, the feature for gambler who lose "such amount" will get cash back percentage of losing amount.
- the customer service/support should have good knowledge, fast response and good communication.
Your all points accepted except cash back point. This is good for players and bad for casinos owners. If they implement this, they have an advantage and also disadvantage. The advantage is many people start to play in their sites because if they lose certain amount, they will get cash back some percentage of their investment. This option is not there in an online casino. We have it in the only offline casino. And disadvantage is they have to pay cash back amount to players this is a loss.
795  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ANY STRATEGY TO WIN IN GAMBLING? on: March 01, 2017, 05:42:25 PM
Lol if you think gambling was that easy and anyone can easily earn a steady income daily , that's basically impossible , if that was the case by now all the gambling sites would close down.
Gambling is just pure luck even if you use any sort of strategy there is no guarantee that you will always win your bet.
Gambling is easy if you have enough money to play and if you are a rich kid. You are a normal person then don't think that gambling will help you in your life. It will always spoil our life. Only lucky people can able to make a good life in gambling. There is no strategy to win in gambling. You should always play with new strategy to win your bet. And I am sure you will never get a perfect strategy in gambling.
796  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's your biggest problem with Bitcoin on: February 28, 2017, 07:08:42 PM
My biggest problem in bitcoin is the transaction sometimes it took so long before you received the bitcoin. I experienced that many times when the time I really need money i transfer my bitcoin from blockchain to local wallet to cash out it but that day is not good.  I received the bitcoin after 2 days.
Well, I think it is a problem for everyone who conduct transactions with bitcoin, man. Well, I also was feeling it, but maybe the transaction is confirmed for 24 hours. well, that is quite a long time, but now, I think it is being repaired, and is now getting better.
Yes now it's better the transaction is not taking too much time to confirm. And sometimes your local wallet exchanger will take the time to confirm your transaction, so this is the site issue. I also had a problem like this in local exchanger but now they also improved. sometime your bad luck you will face this type of issues.
797  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Daily use of bitcoin? on: February 28, 2017, 07:03:48 PM
Hi friends,

As far as I know, bitcoin payments take a little time to approve. Will these approval times make it difficult to use bitcoin in our daily lives?
For example, I would get a coffee from Starbucks. Do I have to wait for approval to pay for what I have done for hours?

In my case, I usually used bitcoin in my daily life through money transferring in the remittances nationwide here in my country. It's very useful actually. But never experience to use my bitcoin like in the fine dining coffee shop which Starbucks maybe a weeks from now I'm gonna try it.

Nope there is no any official announcement from Starbucks about accepting bitcoins. Still bitcoin doesn't reached the position like the fiat currency how we use in day today life. It's not widely accepted by the businesses and government. Then only it is possible.

I too have came across several news portal that Starbucks accept bitcoins. We don't know what's the truth, I too convert to Fiat for my daily needs as it's really hard to find stores that accept bitcoins. These days even bitcoin accepting shops might have given a break due to the confirmation delay.

Maybe in some country, they are accepting, but I am not sure and not heard this news in anywhere. But we have one chance to pay your coffee bill through bitcoin. How means through bitcoin debit card. We can pay our bills through this card. But only in the limited country, we have this card facility. Other than this I don't have any idea how to use bitcoins directly in the real world.
798  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Giving up gambling is not easy on: February 28, 2017, 06:57:24 PM
yes i am also agree with you that not only gambling but all types of habits are difficult to change, and specially if we speak about gambling so gambling is one of the most difficult job of the world because it always give us hope.

Im lost to what you are trying to say here.  But well, at some point I agree habits are difficult to change but gambling as long as the person is not addicted can shift its interest to other things.  Only gambling addicts and obsessed to chase their losses have difficulty to give up gambling.
Exactly ,thats how gambling works for many people. I think on some point what he is trying to say first gambling is not a job for us except you are an employee or one of the workers in gambling house .Hoping for ? I think it is hoping to earn profits correct me if im wrong because you think that a gambling as a difficult job .Well the difficult thing is to accept what the reality about gambling as it goes .There's so many people who have a wrong perception about gambling but if you know it well your mind will set you a limits because it knows what can be the result after.
I think you are wrong what he is saying means the gambling is a difficult job, that means the gambling is a tough game in the world. And it always gives us hope, that means each and every loss will give us hope like we will win next bet. Becasue of this hope, we will again play in this process we will lose money. According to him don't put any hopes on gambling then you can easily stop your play whenever you want. Am I right?
799  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to Win using martingale system? on: February 28, 2017, 06:48:52 PM
Its easy to do martingle ,we only nedled to use it in a proper way and in right games where it will be applicable in both short and long term .A good or enough balance to support your matingle stratedgy is a must it not just bet or roll until you get your profit it also need a good mindset when to pause and stop too.
Having big bankroll would really have an advantage on using martingale system and you are right we must depend on our bets on how big our bankroll is. Martingale might work for short or longer terms that depends on the odds and how long house edge wont bust you out.
having bigger bankroll doesn't guarantee you to have bigger chance to win using martingale betting system , it is even make you to take a bigger risk on huge amount which you stake to lost ( in the worst scenario ) it was not a good idea.

don't you dare to try a dangerous method like martingale , once you get in you will have no control over yourself.
Big bankroll will not help you to make money, but it will help you to get back your loss from this martingale method. But sometimes your bad luck you will lose all your money in this martingale method. This is only for small amount gamblers. High amount gamblers use this method they will end with the loss.
are you sure? i have done this before , used bigger bankroll to gamble with this martingale betting style but failed and then try with another bigger bankroll again up to 3 times try with big bigger bakroll, all of them ended up with a deep losing , i hope you guys did not experience it.

instead to make a comeback to recover , a lost the whole money , there is no chance for you to win continuously use martingale.
Big bankroll means how much capital you used? And which game you played? What is your bet amount? And how many losses you got in a row? Please share this then it will help us weather it will work or not. I told it only works for small amount players and you need big bankroll. That means if lose your bet minimum you should play 10 games in a row that much amount you have means try this method or else drop.
800  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Let's talk about poker! on: February 28, 2017, 06:41:28 PM
Is poker a game of skill, or a game of chance? Many times asked question, no one can agree on what a game of poker is. There is studies and court decisions regarding the skill / chance debate, there is couple endless threads on this forum too. But I don't wish to open that discussion again.

For beginning I wish to ask where are you playing, and can we meet on some site?
I like to play on betcoin.ag, cash game on tables 0.05/0.1 and 0.1/0.25 mbtc. Tournaments are also something I like to play, but just when I have time to sit few hours freely, what is rarely in past few weeks.

My nickname there is Underworld.
With poker you need to have both.
Skills because you need to know when you have a good or a bad hand so you know when to fold and when not.
Chance because you need luck on your side if you want to win. You need to get the good cards to come on the table before you can get a good hand
Yes we need both skill and chance to make a profit in a poker game, This game is 70% depends on your skills and 30% your luck. If you are a pro poker player, but you will not get good cards, then you will lose your game here you need the luck to win your game. And suppose if you get good cards, but you don't have skill how to play you will lose your game. So you need both to win your game.
