Is it good to gamble around every weekend? because it takes pleasure and also entertainment by playing gambling we can release our minds from the stress that continues to work all day but also must understand the right time when gambling and good luck.
Is there anything good when there are new gambling sites we need to try or use the weekend to start?

If he can limit his money and time in gambling, and he really found pleasure and entertainment in gambling, then why not? The problem is we can control ourselves when we are playing gambling because once we feel that thing, we can forget, and sometimes, we lose control. But perhaps, we can gamble if we really want to bet and not every weekend because we can do another thing with our family or friends.

Trying a new gambling site will not give better luck because luck can come in any gambling site, whether it is a new gambling site or old gambling site. But perhaps, to stay in the old gambling site that we usually visit will be better because we can prevent the scamming that can happen in the new gambling site.
7982  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why do people compare betting and investing in bitcoin (in terms of risk)? on: February 28, 2020, 05:23:51 AM
Betting is a risk some money to make a profit while investing is using some money to make a profit. In betting, we can have two options which are won or lose while we know that the chance to lose will be bigger than the win. In investment in bitcoin, although the bitcoin price is down, the price will increase again, and the value of bitcoin can up and down depend on the market situations. If people can be wise in investing in bitcoin, they will know when they can buy bitcoin, and when they can sell bitcoin, and they also know how much money they need to risk in bitcoin. They will accept the risk that the bitcoin prices can go up and down anytime, and they can stay calm when the price is down.

Perhaps, people who don't learn how to invest in bitcoin will think that it is the same as betting because they use their money to buy bitcoin at any price. But if they can hold bitcoin for the long term, and they only sell bitcoin if the price can increase higher, that will not be the same as betting because they don't lose their money, but it still in the bitcoin form.
7983  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: If we have great ability, is capital from bank loans safe for us to use trade? on: February 28, 2020, 04:20:34 AM
Even if you have good skills in trading, it is not recommended to borrow money from the bank because we don't know if we can always make a profit from trading. Your friend has skills, and he can manage the risk by using under $500 to trade, I think he knows what he did, and he always tries to control himself in trading. He has a good responsibility for his money, so he doesn't have to risk more money than he can afford.

in my opinion safe as long as we can make a profit and smoothly repay loan installments to the bank.

We never know what will happen in the future, and I think it is better we know who ourselves so we can have control for ourselves, which will help us to be wise in making a decision.
7984  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Story time! Lost coins & Regrets - Let's bring back a little bit of nostalgia. on: February 28, 2020, 03:47:44 AM
I lost my bitcoin in the exchange and from investment programs, in the beginning, I joined in bitcoin. I cannot tell you how much I lost, but it's not small for me. I regret it, but I cannot do anything because if I think twice about the story, I think I made that mistake by myself, so I am trying to forget it as that bitcoin cannot back to me.

The biggest regret of me is not selling all of the coins I had because I think that is not enough for me, and I don't sell it right away as soon as the price increase so high. I feel I am too greedy to expecting the biggest profit, although I already got the biggest profit from all of the coins I had. But I am sure that all of the lost I had before can replace by another profit that I will try to get. I believe that we can make another profit in many ways, and if that money is for us, it will come again to us from another way.
7985  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you borrow money as your bankroll if you trust your skills in gambling? on: February 28, 2020, 02:57:41 AM
I do trust my skills in gambling but i wont take risk in borrowing money in bank.
I prefer to wait until i have extra money to gamble.

Yes, you are right. We don't have to take the risk of borrowing money, even from the banks, because we need to pay back the money every month, which we will be difficult if we don't have any income. If you have extra money, it is better not to use for playing gambling because you already know that your chance to win in gambling will not be too big. You should use that extra money for another thing like saving that money for your future, so if you need money, you already have money to fills your needs.

It's normal it's our defense mechanism for telling that where fine even though we are not it's a defense mechanis for us so that we will not criticized by anyone who doesn't understand our situation but sometimes it's the pride keep pushing us to feel ok. And if this is not really healthy we should seek for help so that our family could bring us to a professionals so that we can overcome our addiction.


If we still quiet without saying to other people, we will not get help from them because they don't know what is wrong with us. But no matter what, they will finally know, and we can be at a point that we cannot do anything except asking for help from them. Perhaps, they can ask us to go to a professional to overcome the addiction, or they can talk about the problem so they can try to find the solution. Trust me that will work if you can open yourself and start to talk heart to heart.

Precisely, if you are a kind of person who are much unto playing gambling whether you use only it for fun there's a high possibility that that person will eventually fall into becoming an addict. At first we cannot able to tell if we are already been an addicted to it in fact someone who near to us will discover it like our families and friends. Hence, if you don't want to become an addict then leave as soon as possible.

No matter how we keep it secret, somehow, someone that near to us will know by watching our habit or behavior, there's something change from us that allows them to know. We cannot run from our addicting because that will cause another problem, not just for us but also for our family or friends. Yes, leaving gambling as soon as possible is necessary, and ask them to help us will be the solution to solve the addicting.

~snip~
I agree that we don't rely on gambling to earn money but I disagree if it is a must to gamble in order to have fun and entertainment. Everyone has their own purposes to play gambling. If someone plays gambling to earn money, we cannot blame him. It is normal that people are interested in the big amount of prizes on gambling.   

No, we don't have to gamble, I mean, we can play gambling if we want, but we have to realize that gambling is for having fun and entertainment. No need to try to win gambling, but playing some rounds will be better if we want to feel how to gamble online. The big amount of prizes will attract us to keep coming back on gambling, and if we don't have the power to control ourselves, we will going to get a big loss on gambling.
7988  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Rate Year2020 on: February 27, 2020, 06:51:22 AM
Do not bear to hold your bitcoin in the long run because at this time bitcoin is difficult to predict its increase this year bitcoin has not reached $ 14,000 and this is still in the first quarter there is still time maybe this year will reach it because it is expected that the increase will occur halving in the coming May.
You should not check the market at a time like this because you will feel uncomfortable if you see the red market continuing for a short time.

Yes, we still have much time to see bitcoin price will rise higher, but it is difficult for this moment for bitcoin to back to the higher rate. We already at the downtrend this month, although we already saw the bitcoin price can hit $10k level price, and soon, bitcoin price will be back to that price and even will reach another high price. We have the same hope that the price will increase in the halving time that will come in May, but we cannot do anything except wait for that time. Perhaps, we can check the bitcoin price every day or week to see if the bitcoin price can move to a higher rate or not so we can decide on when we need to buy more bitcoin.
7989  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Can ETH reach $5k in this up cycle ? on: February 27, 2020, 05:50:41 AM
It is hard to say, but it could be possible when the bull run is coming. Before the bull run coming, ethereum will not increase so high if there is no big demand from the buyer. I think ethereum itself will be difficult to grow for $1k if the situations still like this, especially if bitcoin price still goes down deeper. We can hope that everything will be changed in the next month so not just ethereum, but the other coins can increase and back to the higher price. Meanwhile, we need to satisfy to see the market movements in this month, and we can wait for what will happen with the market in the next month.
7990  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Risk management , how ? on: February 27, 2020, 05:08:28 AM
There's no correct risk management because reduce risk is depend your target, make it realistic and can accepted in your mind if fails. Many strategy fail not because don't know how to use it but replace imagination in their calculation, wrong place my friend. If you are daily trader use 3% - 5% as your daily target and set your risk below it, don't make it too far because market is unpredictable.

When you see the market is unpredicted, it is better to leave the market for a while so you can reduce the risk a lot. You will never know when the market will be back at a higher price, but if you can hold yourself for trading because the situations are not good, you will not regret it if the market is going down for more. The risk management is how we can manage how much money we use for trading, and we don't have to force ourselves to try to buy the coin if the market is still unpredicted.
7991  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Keeping A Record Of Your Losses Will Make You Realize To Stop Gambling on: February 27, 2020, 04:02:06 AM
What do you think, will Keeping A Record Of Your Losses Will Make You Realize To Stop Gambling?
After seeing that you could have bought a new motorbike or buy an expensive watch on all your losses that you have computed.

For people who want to know how much money they already been used in gambling, that record will help them to calculate their winning and losing. They can know if gambling games can help them to make money or even losing money. But for people who don't use gambling as a way to make money, they will not have to make or keep the record because that will no use to them except they will only see the money amount that they already used for playing gambling.

The money that we spent on gambling can be used for another thing, and as the OP said, that money can be used to buy a motorbike, or we can use to invest in another thing. The record will give us some image of how big the money that we use in gambling.
7992  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Leave gambling, if it destroys you. on: February 27, 2020, 02:41:10 AM
But many people are playing gambling for fun, but after they enjoy the games, they forget about controlling themselves. They can spend more money because they want to win in gambling. That will be a sign for them to get the effect and addicted.
Meaning they aren't gambling for fun. Having fun isn't their main priority but to get profit. Yes they are enjoying but if you are a disciplined person, you must know your limits. If you gamble for fun then just gamble for fun and if you lose then stop and if you win then you must learn when to stop too.

These gamblers who forget to control themselves when they are gambling have a high chance that they will get addicted into it especially if they are winning always. Their main purpose which is to have fun has been changed to win money Cheesy.

Sometimes, a disciplined person can forget about that because of the temptations of gambling games and winning money. In the beginning, they remember about the limits, but after a few rounds, they don't know that because they become greedy, chasing more winning. It is hard always to control and disciplined in something that we like because that will always attract us to do more and more.

They can get addicted in a short time if they don't realize that winning in gambling doesn't mean that we can get more winning. Perhaps, if they can recognize if they win, that will be the time for them to stop gambling.

I am afraid that in those situations, he cannot do personal contemplation because what is in his mind will be gambling. He needs to share what he thinks to other people so they can help him to find a way to solve the problem. If we felt that we could not do it by ourselves, then we really need to be supported by other people. But some people can do by themselves, and they can get the answer, and start to change themselves.

We can get the motivation from ourselves or other people, and the solution will come if you have a big effort to solve the problem. I am sure that we can have motivation from ourselves and we can also get the motivation from other people around us.

You have good points presented on this one.
Sometimes, you need other people to see what's going on with yourself.
But only those that really do know you or care for you like close friends or family.
Because sometimes you are not seeing clearly at things when you are in that behavior.
And for them, they will sincerely give you advise on what they are seeing whenever you are in that situation.

I am sure if someone really knows us or care for us will see something wrong happen with us, so they will ask us what is going on. But sometimes, we don't admit, and we pretend that everything is fine and nothing wrong with us. At this moment, we need to open ourselves to them and tell them what is happen so they can try to help us solve the problem. Other people can see a different way to solve our problem, so sometimes, their suggestion will look better to apply.
7994  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin hitting its steady price? on: February 26, 2020, 06:20:36 AM
is it safe to assume that Bitcoin is probably hitting a capped price(i.e $10k)?

You can assume that, but if you check on the market, the bitcoin price is not stable. Perhaps, we already see the bitcoin price was steady at $10k before, but now, we see the bitcoin price is steady at $9700 price range. But it will be back to $10k soon, and there is no need to worry because bitcoin will increase again. It is like bitcoin adjusting the price before the price can rise to a higher price, and if we check at the history, the price will be back to the higher rate. But we don't know how long this situation will be like this and we need to be patient to pass this time.
7995  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Minimizing the risk- How much possible it is? on: February 26, 2020, 05:22:20 AM
To minimize the risk you should have enough knowledge about trading because when youre in the situation you will know what the right thing to do, but since some of traders choose to do overtrade because they want to take the opportunity to trade even they also lose a lot they still continue to trade. Although tthey win sometime but still the risk is always take over particularly without discipline in trading.

Perhaps, if they know about how much they should use to trade and always follow their own rule, it will help them to reduce the risk. The risk will still there in trading, but the problem is sometimes we break our rule because we want to chase bigger profit. That will not be good if the market cannot move up and down so we can miss the chance to buy low and sell high. So far, the market still up and down, but in a few weeks, it seems the market still going down, and we don't know when it's over. But if we can manage the money, we don't have to afraid to face the risk because we know how to deal with that risk.
7996  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: So are we in bullish times or Not?? on: February 26, 2020, 04:17:34 AM
So all the crypto experts talking we are in bull market ;

So are in bull or Bear market what is the market situation?
If we are bullish then let.me see Green good Green!!

Id like to get Answer... Are bullisj or Not?? 

Id like to hear what the experts think about this?

Yes, we are in the bull market, and if we compare with the previous years, we see the market can move to a higher price, although right now, the bitcoin price is down than a few weeks ago. But for the long term, bitcoin prices will increase, and the bullish market will happen soon, so we need to be ready for that moment.

We will see the green candle appear in the market, but meanwhile, we need to be patient for more because bitcoin price just declines to increase, and we need to wait for a while. You need to analyze by yourself, don't listen to other people's predictions, but you can use their prediction to analyze deeper so you can get more signs about the market.
7997  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: About Compulsive gambling. on: February 26, 2020, 03:19:26 AM
I think, before seeking any professional help, you can do some personal contemplation on things. You need to assess yourself the situations why you are having this compulsive gambling, list all the items that trigger this situation. Because you alone, will know the answers. And if you really do want to change and address your being compulsive, think of solutions that will address the items listed on what trigger your compulsive gambling. It will require a real motivation on your side to solve your problem.

I am afraid that in those situations, he cannot do personal contemplation because what is in his mind will be gambling. He needs to share what he thinks to other people so they can help him to find a way to solve the problem.

7998  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you keep a spreadsheet for you wins and losses for tax purposes? on: February 26, 2020, 02:22:30 AM
I don't track my bets since I feel like its too much of an effort and my total winnings are still small if its for taxing purposes. I've seen other gamblers specifically those who gamble on sports saying tracking bets in a spreadsheet helps them be more aware and cautious of their bet placements. I'm thinking of trying it in the future once i'm able to start or build a decent bankroll.

Well it’s good that you have a tracker of your winnings and losses if incase you’ll need it in the future but for me, having a spreadsheet or tracker can stress me out especially when reviewing it, the data shows you have more loss than wins and it will make you realize you are spending more instead of getting more. Anyways, if you have a very big win then don’t place it in one bank account to avoid questions you can divide it into different account or digital wallet.

When we can feel okay with the win or lose, having a spreadsheet about the result in the gambling will be good, so we can track down how much money we already used to gamble. That's kind of reminder to us that if we see the loss is too big than the winning, we can reduce the money which we use to gamble, and we can put that money for another thing. But if we cannot calm down when we see the spreadsheet, and we want to come back in the gambling games just to try to win back the lost, I am afraid that can attract us to use more money. We can lose control of ourselves if we want to get the money back in gambling.
7999  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Leave gambling, if it destroys you. on: February 26, 2020, 01:27:46 AM
But many people are playing gambling for fun, but after they enjoy the games, they forget about controlling themselves.
One sign that a gambler is addicted is that they cant control their desire to continue gambling and they may not realize that they have spent a lot of money to bet there. Gambling addiction I think is very difficult to control and many people will admit it. Some of them might call it fun without being addicted, but when we cant stop ourselves from betting every day its called addiction.

That is why needs responsible for ourselves from playing gambling. Perhaps, we cannot know how to responsibly in playing gambling, but if we can control ourselves in limiting the money, we can see that we will not spend a lot of money on gambling. Gambling addiction is something that we need to prevent by having discipline, limiting the money and time, always control our mind that gambling is only an activity to enjoy life.

You can check yourself when you gamble. If you see that the situations become worse, you must leave gambling, no matter if you already win some money or lose some money because that will not be useful for you to continue playing gambling.
8000  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Don't just hold your altcoins for a long time! on: February 25, 2020, 05:50:02 AM
When that good coin cannot increase so high more than the price we bought, we can still hold those coins for more because we want to make a big profit from those good coins. We don't have to sell if the price if we are sure that the coin can increase higher than the price now because we will make a big profit when the price can really hit another higher price. But if you don't want to hold for a long time, then yes, selling that coin will be a good way for you to make a profit while you can wait for a while to buy the coin at a low price.
