8061  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Leave gambling, if it destroys you. on: February 15, 2020, 05:59:29 AM
It doesn't matter if you cannot really stop gambling, as long as you can know when to stop or reduce the intensity to play gambling, you don't have to worry. But yes, you need to control yourself in gambling because of many gamblers forget to control themselves, and that makes them lose too much money. Leaving gambling will be the best thing that we can do before it is too late for us, especially if we are too weak to deny the temptations for playing gambling. There is no reason for us to stay at the gambling place if we don't want to become addicted to gambling.
This is what a gamblers needs, self control.

Unfortunately, gamblers are playing without proper self control so the end result? They will lose their money and worse, they will do bad things just to have more money because they want a revenge. They will borrow from their relatives just to have money to gamble.

Leaving gambling is hard especially if you are addicted but if you don't want yourself to get destroyed by it then you must face it. Leave gambling and have another life. Find another ways to use your time. Don't spend too much time and money in gambling but instead use it for your family if you have Smiley

Yes, self-control is a must thing that gamblers need to have when they are playing gambling. The result from losing the self-control will also lose their money, and if they want to revenge or playing back the games, then they must prepare to see another loss that they will get. The borrowing money doesn't mean they can win the gambling games, but if they lose, they need to pay back the money to that person.

The important thing for the gamblers who want to leave gambling will have power for himself and a strong mind so he can avoid and always remember the experience that he already got in gambling. Yes, they need to have another thing to do, so don't use their time for playing gambling, and we hope that they can save that money for another thing in their life.
8062  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: After losing did you feel you must return the soonest to win back your losses? on: February 15, 2020, 02:54:47 AM
I found it as one of the most interesting question from this article. http://www.gamblersanonymous.org/ga/content/20-questions

Do you guys have that kind of feeling when you are losing in gambling?

No, I don't have the feeling to return as soon as possible to win back my losses because I don't think that I will have a chance to win back off my losses. Even if I win, my winning still not bigger than my losses, so that makes me leave the gambling place, but perhaps, I will be back in the next days. But when I back in the next days to the gambling site, I don't try to win back my losses, but I only play gambling as usual. Gladly, I don't think about my losses, and I am trying to enjoy the games only.
8063  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who among us here has been addicted but successfully cured addiction? on: February 15, 2020, 01:58:01 AM
If a gambler doesn't want to get addicted to gambling then there is a best solution for that. Don't gamble if you don't want to become a gambling addict simple as that. Once becoming a gambling addict, a person may result to theif, selling personal belongings just to be able to gamble which is very not good thing to do.

I already saw one of my friends selling his watch to play gambling. He says that he already losses in a few weeks ago, and he wants to try his luck again. I already told him that it's no use, and it's only wasting his time and money, but he doesn't listen to me. I let him sell his watches to someone, but when he said he wants to play online gambling, I decided to stay beside him and watch him play. He promises that he will not sell what he has for playing gambling if he loses this time, and he will stop playing gambling, and I said that is okay.

The result is he still loses, and I said so you should stop gambling, as you said. Gladly, he really stays away from gambling and not trying to play gambling, and I hope that he can prevent himself from going back to the gambling place.
8064  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Investment Advice for year 2020 on: February 14, 2020, 06:26:03 AM
I think Bitcoin is the best option for the long-term investment on the cryptocurrency market. If you want to add more risky assets to your portfolio, you can choose some top altcoins as they likely to show a bigger growth than BTC.

Yes, that is true. Bitcoin still is the best coins as the long term investment, and if someone doesn't know what to invest in the crypto market, he can choose and buy bitcoin for the only investment he has. Selecting the top altcoin or choose one or more coins at the top 10 coin list will be better, and it will have the potential to increase, but we need to remember that this time, every altcoin will have the same chance to grow. And I think it is difficult to choose the right coin as the investment. Perhaps, ethereum, litecoin, xrp, bnb, eos, tezos are good to analyze, so you will found which coin can rise first at the market.
8065  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Random coin picks experiment on: February 14, 2020, 05:22:05 AM
In the bull market, any altcoin can pump anytime. It happens all the time. Look at recent pumps of BSV, HBAR, XVG etc. No matter what factors lie behind these pumps it happens.

I don't know which coin will be pumping next and I don't trust any trading advisors, gurus, twitter stars. So I came up with a simple solution that satisfies me for now, but I need some advice to improve it.

It will be round by round investments. Each round has own duration and profit goals. For now, I think about max 1 month and min 100% ROI. I wrote a script for choosing random coins (X) from the list of coins with mark cap >= 100m (Y). X is planned to be somewhere between 2 and 5 coins. I plan to distribute the budget evenly. The goal is to keep everything as simple as possible.

I appreciate any improvements and advice on my strategy.

I can suggest being careful to choose random coin as an experiment because you don't know which coins that can increase. But you have a good coin at the top 10-20 coin list as that coin has a big chance to grow. I agree that in the investment, we need to determine how long the duration to hold the coin while we can search the other coin for the next investment. You don't have to try to reach a minimum 100% ROI if the coin doesn't have a good movement at the market. But for the top 10-20, I think the coin will have good move so you can expect to make a profit from each coin.

If you want to wait for the pump coming, then you need to ready because the pump can happen anytime so you can place the order sell before the pump is coming. But perhaps, I suggest not waiting for the pump because that will be hard to depend on the pump itself. After all, we don't know how higher the pump will happen.
8066  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who among us here has been addicted but successfully cured addiction? on: February 14, 2020, 03:57:59 AM
I read that there are people who are addicted in gambling but they are successfully cured from addiction, I'm interested to know what are the methods they do in order to get cured from such addiction, I use the word cured because gambling is a serious problem, I call it as a disease, so please share you experience so we can also help those who might have been experiencing an addiction right now.

We don't know what method they did to cure the addicting to gambling because I guess that they will use different ways to solve the problem. But perhaps, they must do something to distract their mind not to think about gambling so they can build a new habit and avoid playing gambling. They will need other people to help them to solve the addicting.

My experience in preventing from playing gambling every day is do something else, and I don't touch my computer for some hours, so I don't think about gambling. I am trying to do something after I used my laptop, so I don't use my free time to visit the gambling websites, and so far, it works for me. Some of my friends use their free time to go to the gym and swimming, so they don't feel that they are addicted to gambling.
8067  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best strategy for Dice on: February 14, 2020, 03:05:21 AM
I used to lose a lot in dice games, i have no much strategy. I used to play at 49% winning chance but could never make a good amount to withdraw. I have tested couple of gambling sites but with dice, I never had win. How are you playing dice? What's your strategy to get the best output?

No, I don't use strategy in dice to win because I realize that for me, no matter if I use strategy or not, that will depend on my luck. And so far, I see that I don't have good luck in dice games, so I decided to play dice games with a random amount of bets, but I always set the lowest amount to bet because I don't want to get lost in big amount in a second.a

I always have a target amount that I want to use in dice gambling. For example, I prefer to use 1,000 satoshis to bet, and in every bet, I use 0.0000010 BTC. Sometimes I use x2 if I win and back to base bet if I lose. By using that, I think I can play for some time, and that is enough for me to enjoy the dice games.
8068  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and health 🤕symptoms on: February 14, 2020, 01:19:35 AM
I have tried gamble online but no it doesn't make me buy drinks to get drunk or stealing money. It's entirely up to me whether I buy or not and gambling doesn't affect my health. I may not be a gambling addict and I can stop gambling anytime I want. Better set your mindset to other activities or stuff to avoid getting addicted to gambling.

So that will depend on personal to decide to do gambling, drug, and alcohol because we don't know what they do with that activity. If they can hold the other passion like drugs and alcohol, then they will not touch that, and they are only playing gambling without the want to do that. Yes, setting the mindset to prevent or avoid being addicted to other worst things will be necessary so we can prevent ourselves from something that can impact our body in the long term. You should also prevent yourself from addicting to gambling because addicting will be dangerous too.
8069  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin won't surge past 11k, your thoughts... on: February 13, 2020, 08:28:30 AM
No problem at all if bitcoin cannot increase more than $11k because I am sure that bitcoin will break it in the long term. I am okay to wait for bitcoin to raise more than $11k, and I don't mind if the price cannot increase to that price in a short time. That will give me extra time to make more bitcoin from altcoin, and I am sure that it will also help people to get more bitcoin at a low price. Bitcoin price itself will increase if the time to grow is coming, and if you don't use this time to buy more bitcoin or make a profit in bitcoin, you will regret it in the future.
8070  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is this time to Sell altcoins before BTC Halving on: February 13, 2020, 07:30:13 AM
For disclaimer, this is not suggestion. But if me,i will exchange my altcoins to BTC first before halving. Or at least coin that i know will increased when that time come. But if people want to keep their altcoins, it is their choice or maybe coins that they hold can increased more than bitcoin in percentage.

If your altcoin price can increase before bitcoin halving, then yes, you can sell your altcoin to bitcoin, and then you can hold your bitcoin until the bitcoin price can increase higher. But unfortunately, we don't know if our altcoin will increase or not since the altcoin market still follows bitcoin moves. But if you can hold the potential altcoin like ethereum and the other, then it will increase at the right time.

We need to wait for a while to see if the altcoin price can increase, so we have the opportunity to sell our altcoin at the highest price. But if you want to sell your altcoin now, I think your profit will not too big than if you wait for the increase in your altcoin price.
8071  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Are crypto advisers worth to be looking for? on: February 13, 2020, 06:26:41 AM
Does it make sense to look for them and how much scam there might be?

For beginner I think is worth to get professional adviser but of course you should know their works and reputation. Find them is only use off line way, so you can speak person to person and get everything you need to know about crypto. If necessary use legal deal as protection it will safe for you and them. People can't go alone they need sharing partner or group to get new experience and solution about their problem. 

No, I don't think so. With the easiness of finding the internet connection, a beginner can see so much useful information about trading and cryptocurrency so they can learn by themselves. I am afraid that if they search from the crypto advisers, they need to spend some money before they can learn their method. I always suggest my friends search from the internet because, on the internet, they can explore anything they want with free. Besides that, they can reduce their expenses so they can use the money to start trading if they wish to.
8072  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and health 🤕symptoms on: February 13, 2020, 05:21:15 AM
Yes those things are related so I think people will be addicted to gambling and alcohol / drugs too

But for me not because I gamble only through the website (crypto) not go to the casino directly and bet there, this is an exception I mean if someone gambles directly in the casino then drinks and drugs will not be avoided

Not really, but that could be possible. If we are playing crypto gambling games at our home, we can prevent alcohol and drugs, so we are only playing gambling. But if you play at the real casino and meet many people in real life, then the chance to become addicted to the alcohol and drugs will be wide open, but that depends on the person itself.

I am playing gambling in my room, but I don't drink alcohol and drug, and I don't addict to gambling, so I think that could relate, but it will depend on how the people themselves.
8073  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Leave gambling, if it destroys you. on: February 13, 2020, 04:17:14 AM
1. Intention: the main capital intention in determining individuals to stop gambling, if someone has a strong determination to stop it will have the percentage of someone actually quitting gambling.
2. Individual mindset: this is very heavy, most difficult for many heavy addicts to do.
The mindset of individuals used to associate with gambling gangs, the mafia, now change the mindset and associate with wise, good, and respectable people, little by little addicts will wake up and the days are full of good deeds.
3. Family: in this case it is prioritized, first the family in the number position......now the family is made number 1 more time with family.
I'm sure, actually these three things are enough to make someone stop gambling, but it goes back to each individual because everyone has a different level of control.  I personally can not really stop gambling, I am only able to reduce the intensity of my gambling, and currently I only gamble when my mood arises (sports betting) and sometimes just for to fill in the free time (light gambling).

It doesn't matter if you cannot really stop gambling, as long as you can know when to stop or reduce the intensity to play gambling, you don't have to worry. But yes, you need to control yourself in gambling because of many gamblers forget to control themselves, and that makes them lose too much money. Leaving gambling will be the best thing that we can do before it is too late for us, especially if we are too weak to deny the temptations for playing gambling. There is no reason for us to stay at the gambling place if we don't want to become addicted to gambling.
8074  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which is easier, stop when you are winning or stop when you are losing? on: February 13, 2020, 01:47:55 AM
It is hard to decide which is easier to stop because I also experienced the two but for me it is gard to stop when I losing. There is a psychological factor that pushes me to play more even my losses is now huge. It is the greed that forcing me to gamble my money in order to regain my losses. But I have now good risk and management where I have specific cut loss in order to lessen the risks. I can now also fully control my emotions and specially my greed.

That is right. But when you are losing, and don't have any money, perhaps you will feel comfortable to stop than if you win some money. If you don't have money, how can you play gambling again? While if you have money, you will easy to continue playing gambling, and that can make you lose all the money you win before. I think many of us will stop playing gambling if we lose money, especially if that person is not addicted to gambling games, and they will feel that their time to play gambling ends.
8075  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is this time to Sell altcoins before BTC Halving on: February 12, 2020, 06:16:34 AM
That will depend on your strategy. I think if altcoin price can increase so high before bitcoin halving, then yes, we can sell it to get bitcoin, and we can sell the bitcoin to fiat. But if the altcoin you have is not increasing, then I don't think that if you sell the altcoin is the right decision because you can hold it for more until the price increase so you can make a profit in bitcoin.

But as we see now, some of the altcoins can increase, and even if altcoin price follows bitcoin price, the altcoin will have time to hit the highest price too. So you better wait for a while, and who knows, your altcoin price can increase.
8076  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is the most speculative altcoin that might be gain high ROI in case of all on: February 12, 2020, 05:09:06 AM
crypto will go up?

Will be happy to hear your opinions and advices.

thanks.

Yes, crypto will go up soon. You need to prepare your coins, and if you think that you have another coin list, you can try to analyze deeper to find if that coin is worth to buy or not. But we need to be careful because not all coins can increase in the next bull run, so we need to research which coins that have the potential to improve. It will help us if we can get more information about the coin that we research, so we know if that coin has a chance to grow or not.

Right now, ethereum will have a big opportunity to increase, and perhaps, the price can hit the lastest highest price, but we don't know for sure. All we can do now is having more ethereum while the price is not yet increase too high.
8077  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Which altcoins out of top 50 will reach ATH again with next bull run??? on: February 12, 2020, 04:10:57 AM
Guys, do you think  top 50 coins will reach there ATH again with next bull run??? Also share your views about any coins out of top 100 which can grow 50x in next bull run Grin Grin

It's quite difficult to answer, but it is possible to reach ATH next bull run. But perhaps, the top 10 coins first will increase higher, and then the other coins will follow to increase. The altcoin can rise so high, but we don't know when the bull run will come, and it still a mystery for us until now.

I am not sure with the coins out of the top 100 that can grow 50x because the coins are hard to increase, but perhaps, that coins can increase if the pump is coming. The coins out of the top 100 will have the opportunity to grow for once if the moment is right, especially if some groups pump that coins.
8078  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which is easier, stop when you are winning or stop when you are losing? on: February 12, 2020, 02:44:00 AM
We are quite the same If I already gain a decent amount I stop and withdraw my profit it is easier to stop when winning than losing. I am not a regular gambler I don't play every day. I play when I have nothing else to do just a luxury time. I also set a limit if a lose this certain amount I stop and call it a day maybe it is not my lucky day.

That is a good decision to stop and withdraw the profit while we can because we will difficult to see a chance of winning in gambling. You are so lucky not being a regular gambler, and you also not play gambling every day, so you can stop anytime you want. Limiting the money will help you to know how long you can playing gambling, so you don't drag too deeper into gambling games.

Perhaps, stop while we lose in gambling will be easy to do than to stop while we win because some gamblers will play gambling to try to get another winning.
8079  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Anyone here dream of achieving their financial goal in life through gambling? on: February 12, 2020, 01:54:28 AM
But in sports betting, we cannot always win because every match will not run as what we want.
Who said we will always win? says those who are not really gambling in sports?
I know that's the reality and I know if you are gambling in sports you know that you don't win all the time because it's the impossible you are trying to achieve, what you need to do is just to win most of the time and you'll be successful with that as long as you know how to do the right bankroll management.

Winning most of the time is possible, but it will need to have much information about the sports you like so you can know which teams or players that will have a big percentage to win. It is very tough if we want to achieve financial goals in life, especially from gambling, because we need to consider that luck will be an important factor in gambling itself besides knowledge. But I agree with how to do the right bankroll management so we can use the money properly.

Some surprises will happen in the middle of the game, so that can make the result will different than we thought.
Well, as a gambler, your only concern is the outcome of the game, either you win or lose.

I think that is because I don't think gambling as a way to make money, and I don't too often playing gambling because I guess gambling is for a place to get fun besides another activity.
8080  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Leave gambling, if it destroys you. on: February 12, 2020, 01:03:48 AM
I think the word addicted, When your addicted and wanted to stop doing it you cannot stop it because you are addicted like for example in gambling. People that are addicted in gambling also wanted to stop gambling but they cant because you are addicted in it. Comparing it to people who gamble a lot but not really addicted to gambling. For sure even if we are addicted we could easily stop getting addicted with our discipline if your really going to focus in changing your self you could easily stop gambling but the problem is a lot of people just go with the flow and not really want to stop gambling, and the thinking that they are addicted make them not discipline and believe that they cannot stop it.

Actually, people who addicted to gambling can stop themselves from playing gambling, but they must have the power to control their bodies and mind to stop and leave gambling. That person must have a high awareness of addicting and how they can stop the addicting. That will difficult because they get used to gambling almost every day, so it's like they will feel something is missing from them if they don't gamble.

But they can stop gambling, especially if some people help them to solve the addicting so they can focus on stopping gambling. They need to have another thing to distract their mind not to think about gambling so they can build a new habit or they can do something else.
