I also walked through the difficulty of losing, greediness, stress, upset and emotional. There is a time that I can't control myself on playing. Reminded myself why I am just wasting my earned even I can't win over the house. Just like self reflection on my self why I need to gamble? just for an easy money? for my entertainment? is this the road for richness? When playing gambling I play seldom to avoid to repeat my old self if I continue again it will cause a big mess up on my life.
Been in that situation many times but it does not work out, I just reflect after a lose but after several days here I go again gambling. I guess we cannot quit directly and who loves quitting when you are still enjoying gambling.

My point is that, why not just be true to  ourselves and know our capacity, if we do not have extra amount of money for gambling we simply do not do it.
7802  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your aim in gambling???? on: November 25, 2016, 06:45:33 AM
Gambling is supposed to be to earn stake while wagering or betting, but gambling casinos turn it to entertainment to make users unaware of the possible trick to make them addicted to gambling.  So whenever I am to play gambling games, my aim is to win a stake or win a profit., entertainment is just a bonus.

Well, that should be the face of gambling, but in order to make it profitable in the market, you need to cover it up and make it looks like a candy... No one will market their product with negative label in it and put it in bold letters... Anyway, I am a gambler too before, and my only goal is winning and nothing more than that, fun? well, that's like a placebo, to make you feel fine even if you are not really...  Cheesy
Thanks for telling the truth, I admire that kind of people. Honestly, I can also be happy when I win but when the outcome does not favor me then I need to accept that and move, gambling is not only my life but it's part of my life.

As long as we bet what we can afford, we can easily move on.
7803  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your gambling strategy on: November 25, 2016, 05:24:54 AM
I use martingale strategy it is easy but high risk.. need big bankroll Smiley
I don't know what is the best strategy..
You need a big bankroll for martingale but you also need big limits in whatever game you are playing in your favorite casino, but I think martingale sucks as a strategy because you only need a few losses in a row to never see your money again.
Regardless how much bankroll you have, I do not recommend martingale system. It will eat your entire bankroll when you have a cold streak. It's not advisable for a gambler who loves to play and last in the game. Just be conservative and use flat betting.
7804  Economy / Economics / Re: Mining coins save or sell it? on: November 25, 2016, 04:59:24 AM
Right now i trying to mining a lot of coins, i thinking its mabey its good to save the coins like 6-12 mdr before selling it.

Can orther explain about its a good point else about the risk its to high to lose to lot on it?
It is better to save it. Yet, do not let the value of your coin goes down. If you think that the highest rate of a coin was reached, then sell it or trade it.

If you have to pay for the miner and the electricity. Then you can use some mined coins to pay for that and save the rest.

Well right now I think it is recommended to sell your mined bitcoin since the price of BTC/USD is high. So, it will have you pay your electricity bills and other expenses. I think this time you can have more profit and if I were a miner I would buy another mining rig since bitcoins price is high.

I agree the fact is also that you than instantly make profit and you cannot lose money anymore by than, I think it would be the best way to make money right now if you are mining, the prices are good.
One should know his needs and it will be the basis of his decision, now if you are mining and you have mined great number of bitcoins, you do not need to sell them all if you can still continue your life selling only a portion of it. The future is really great for bitcoin as you can see the price has a good movement and we will be benefit more the more we hold it.
7805  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin help poor countries? on: November 25, 2016, 04:52:19 AM
Maybe as technology becomes more accessible, poorer countries will have easier access to bitcoins and more practical uses for it and ways to earn it
Not all of them as their government does not prioritize bitcoin due to the big problem of poverty, and maybe you are lucky in your country as internet is everywhere but in poor countries I can say that the infrastructures are not really that good yet, so that alone is already a big hindrance for development.
7806  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin being used for illegal activities on: November 25, 2016, 03:54:03 AM
yes when bitcoin was first launched it spreaded like a virus into the whole underworld where it has the complete place for all type of illigal activities and more but thats not truly our point. tor nretwork has many sites running and most ofvthem accepts bitcoin as payment
I think we shout admit the fact that bitcoin is mostly use for good purposes, and may be a little number of bad people using it for illegal activities just like other fiat currency, I think we should always look to the good aspect of everything.
I think we do not need to think about other people's negativ. moreover bitcoin transactions are anonymous and no one knows about the destination on your bitcoin transactions, so it is illegal or not, it does not matter

there is a bad and good thing in every bitcoin transaction, even its for illegal activities and we agree for that. all this thing its because bitcoin is anonymous, then people thinking better to pay with bitcoin to make good or bad activities or make an illegal transaction, but unfortunately we don't know about this, we only know that in blockchain, there is many transaction from small until big amount.
We will not know because in the first place we are not interested to know it. We are not cops anyway we have our own business online, and in my case I just gamble online and I don't know it it's illegal or not.
7807  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe that win in gambling is depending on your luck ? on: November 25, 2016, 03:34:09 AM
Well, yeah it depends in your luck but not mostly luck, it also depends on your experience. You have an experience, you will not only depend on your luck but on your skills and experience also.

I was thinking if all my winnings is depending on my luck because I am just playing some luck based games.

But there games that are still depending on the gamblers skill and knowledge, like in sports betting and as well as poker.

And you can't just base on your luck with those games all the time for you need to have an initiative with your own skill.
Sports betting belongs to the skilled base games as you will only win if you are a good sports handicapper and you have a chance to use your skills to generate money for you, though sometimes you are also lucky but it does not mean you will stop handicapping sports and rely on luck alone.

It should be treated for serious as your aim is to make money.
7808  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: November 24, 2016, 12:13:35 PM
I know that there is still a lot of time. But odds are very attractive. Who do you think will win the season?

Cavs vs warriors.

This year warriors will win it.
Really? Thank you for being confident but I guess it's the other way. If you see how the Cavaliers are playing lately you can tell they are more consistent than the warriors and the Cavaliers defense is better than the warriors as they retain their big man unlike what Warriors did to theirs.
7809  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which gambling sites have 0% house edge? on: November 24, 2016, 12:04:41 PM
What is house edge exactly?

Advantage over the play that casino has.
You can read more with detailed explanation at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casino_game

In simple words, gambling house will take a small cut from each bet that is mentioned it like 1% or 0.5% of the bet amount. Every time you bet gambling house will get that much profit for them to maintain a site and for other expenses. So logically 0% house edge difficult to maintain in the longer run.
Exactly, therefore no gambling house will ever operate with no house edge, otherwise that gambling house is not trusted as like you said, it's impossible for them to run their business without taking care of their operating expenses.
7810  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcoin Gambling Investments on: November 24, 2016, 11:58:06 AM
need courage in making investments in the gambling world. honestly for me it's not a regular thing. because most people who play in the world of gambling are those who dare to take risks. while I was the one who wants play it safe in investing the money I have.
Yes, that is a fact there is no doubt about this, that investment in gambling is not an easy job, you need a real courage if you want to invest in gambling as gambling is a game of risk and you have to depend mostly on your luck, if you are lucky then you can really make money in gambling but if you are lucky then you can lose your whole money in a single day.
Honestly i do not understand what you mean because if you are lucky you can be still lose your whole money?
I think it is depends how you are managing your money while you are gamble you should prevent your self to be greedy.. because this is the reason why many people even they are lucky they are still losing money in gambling..

Lucky people are not meant for losing money so if you are losing whole of your money then that is not classified as luck. That is what we called chance and if you think that you are lucky enough but suddenly you lose for a while then you are not lucky enough. And investments are just like gambling sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.
An investment in gambling sites will guarantee you a win in the long run and you do not need to have luck to be able to win. It's the math that will dictate the outcome because you have an edge but if  you play the other way, of course the result would not be nice.

I don't think that investing in gambling sites and their bankrolls can guarantee you a profit even in the long run. Casinos are known to go bust due to poor management of their bankroll, so a large enough whale coming in and taking all your money is not something that can never happen. But you won't know how well the house manages the funds until you lose your investments.

And apart from that, they can just steal your coins.
Put your money in a trusted casinos, there's a reason why they are still existing profitably now and they are benefiting on the house edge. If you will lose to whales then you are not doing a great job protecting your bankroll, you are the operator of the casino and you control the rules, so you have to use your advantage.
7811  Economy / Economics / Re: How many Bitcoin do you have saved? on: November 24, 2016, 11:50:52 AM
At first I am saving some bitcoin for future use and when it rises to the moon. But I am forced to spend what I have saved. And from then on, I spend every bitcoin I earn. I enjoy spending my bitcoin though.
Until now, we must save our bitcoin. I sure not waiting for long timw the price will reach $1000. Bitcoin is very good for long term investment. I will save my bitcoin and never to sell for short time.
Let's do it, you are not the only one who are saving your bitcoin, I guess most of us here are saving for the future. I hope we can keep this up and we will the discipline like a real investor have. I hope we will not be tempted to sell when we see the price skyrocketing and I hope we will not panic selling when we see a price dropping.
7812  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is it a sin to gamble? on: November 24, 2016, 11:43:28 AM
I haven't seen any gamble sin in the Bible
I could not tell also because I do not know hat bible are your reading. Me, I do not regularly attend mass but my parents told me when I was young that gambling is a sin, but I do not listen now that I am an adult because I just found that it's fun if you are just doing it right.
7813  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is Holding Bitcoin a long time good way to make money? on: November 24, 2016, 11:40:25 AM
As for example , I'm purchase 2 bitcoin ( by investing every month ), 1 year ago and the value still $ 300 / btc !

And now, you can see my current profit since bitcoin reach $ 750 recently so it's unexpected things to happen but it's no impossible
It's definitely not possible as it has happen in the past already, when you buy low and you sell high that will constitute a profit.

Now, I do believe that we do not just simply hold our bitcoins as we also have the responsibility to ensure that the market is doing well for bitcoin and we will know that with constant reading of the news and any news will certainly affect the market and you can use that for your decision making.
7814  Economy / Economics / Re: Invest your bitcoins. on: November 24, 2016, 11:31:23 AM
Not investing is an investment because you can just hold your bitcoin and wait for it to rise and then you will have as much as you would if you did i mean i am not against investing  some of your bitcoin hell i do some investing my self but not invest it all
there are many variations on investments and you are free to choose the existing investment in bitcoin, you choose a low risk or high, it's up to you, if you want a low risk you could just hold your bitcoin and wait for prices to rise
hold bitcoin is also has high risk it's possible the price is dump hard and you will lose your money temporary , but for high risk you can high profit too if you success to do it.
Therefore it's necessary that you will monitor your investment not just holding and doing nothing. It's the nature in the crypto world where pump and dump will happen and despite the fact that bitcoin has the highest volume here it's still volatile. Just accept the reality as the more the risk the more the reward.
7815  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: November 24, 2016, 11:15:20 AM

Indeed many false hope of gambling, we must make wise gambling as entertainment for pleasure, don't use too big a gamble for our money, so when win or lose we remain pleased

I think that's too hard to do for a typical gambler, we cannot deny to ourselves that when we lose we will feel something not good and will rage which will result to chasing bets which is the recipe for disaster. That can be done but it needs a lot of practice as not everyone has the ability to control their emotion in gambling.
7816  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your average bet per game? on: November 24, 2016, 03:45:45 AM
Well, maybe in sports betting, I always bet BTC 0.005 until 0.007 once the match. so I can be more efficient in gambling, and not spend BTC exist in my wallet. I am always careful in betting, because if I bet a lot and lose, it will make me stressed. so I only bet with a little BTC when playing
luckily you are play on sports mostly isn't it? with 0.005 and a little touch to manage your bankroll there is no harm to do gamble continuously , but if you gamble in a casino even with a very small amount i am sure not many people can survive to keep playing.

as gamble in a casino always make you get heated .
Sports betting is better if you a gamble who love to study to improve your method because there are ways that you can improve it, also the outcome of the game is not that fast like in dice game so you can still analyze before putting on the next game. That alone would already give you time to think better for your picks.
Actually in sport gambling you have a little advantage of using your mind, your experience, skill and your knowledge work a bit in sports gambling therefore sports betting are more profitable as compare to other gambling games. When the odds are in favor, I do not bother about my bet size, I will go for big bet amounts as I believe I am good in sport betting profit making.
Your mind or your knowledge, and experience is what constitute to give your skills in gambling, you are learning along the way and you are improving your skills. True, that sports betting is a good type of gambling but are we sure enough we can win on that game easy.

From what I know, sports betting industry are among the richest in this world.

Our campaign manager didn't have enough time to finish the spreadsheet today, sorry!

To cheer you up I'll announce some good news!

If you choose to get paid in KMD, then we will give you 25% bonus!

After the ICO we calculated the exchange rate, and it is: 0.00012907 BTC/KMD, or 7747.73 KMD/BTC

With the bonus you can get 9684 KMD/BTC!

P.S. don't send me your addresses in PM (they will go nowhere), also announcing them in this thread will not help. We will give you instructions once we move to that phase (after the spreadsheet is ready)

Sorry for the delays!

Best regards

This one is a good announcement from the OP, imagine guys it's +25% and considering they have a successful ICO there's a great chance the price will pump if you guys will not dump easy. For people who does not really need money the soonest, they will prefer to receive KMD as maybe one way to support the project.
7818  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe that win in gambling is depending on your luck ? on: November 24, 2016, 03:36:19 AM
how many people are lucky but lose,How else have no relation with luck but uses several strategy that allows them to make earnings, and also how many people have no experience in games but who make big pot, and others who uses the same strategy that worked for other people but does not work for them.
So; do you believe that earnings in gambling is depending on luck?  Huh

I believe so. It is really depends on the player if were too excited to earn , we bet a lot that we cant even afford to lose. The result is either we win or lose. I think it is really depends on your luck no matter what strategy we use or even how many times we played things will not went right as we plan .
In the end we still lose, it's all about the money as greedy people bet what they cannot afford to lose and though they are having the skills of making good bets but with lack of decent bankroll in the long run they will still lose even if the game has no house edge.
7819  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to quit Gambling for good? on: November 24, 2016, 03:31:34 AM
Stopping with gambling is not easy but its possible without any doubts, its just that you have to set your mind on it and keep believing in yourself stay reminding yourself to it!
It's easy to stop when your problem is not too big, the more you can stop early the better. All in our life is just sort of gamble because the future is uncertain but when we are making a decision that we like to make money on the hardest game in the world which is gambling, I think that's too risky and stupid for some people who does not have a qualifying skills to succeed, and this would result to bigger problem.
7820  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin be used for Good? on: November 24, 2016, 03:21:38 AM
Why not, why can't it be used for good? We have even had Bitcoin donated for charity cause example is "Bitcoin 100 which has run its cause". In a world there will be people who are good and some who are naturally bad and Bitcoin is a tool since its money and can be used to achieve any of the objectives depending on whose hands it found itself.
It can be use for good as the main purpose of bitcoin actually is for the good of the people, you cannot control those people who are making bad activities using bitcoin because they have the freedom to spend their bitcoins on the way they want, but the question is not even the right question IMO as you are indirectly accusing bitcoin that it is solely use for illegal or bad activities.
