One factor that is a reason for gamblers becoming addicted, particularly early on in their gambling life, is the experience of an early big win. The buzz is winning such a large amount can sometimes be overwhelming and the fact it arrives so early means that the player thinks it is easier to land such wins than what it is in reality. The big wins from a little psychologically control to their minds and they are being addicted to gambling.
It will really affect you psychologically specially when you first tried out on playing gambling and then you won then for sure that first one would really mark up in your mind that making money on playing gambling is quiet easy and this kind of beliefs will really mold you up to be a gambling addict later on.There are most people would really fall on this one but there are some who can able to manage theirselves on their first try outs.

For online gamers and at the same time bitcoiners, don't you think it's fun if online games will adapt bitcoin as their currencies?

MMORPG will be much fun if bitcoin will be used to purchase items/gears you're longing to acquire.

Selling items you have exerted effort to farm and you will receive btc as payment is quite exciting.

I'm referring to direct trading in the market of any MMORPG using BTC.

Just a thought though :-)
This idea is great but wont really happen since those companies wont really bother to give out bitcoin for the sake of farmed items but eventually you can purchase in-game items or credits with the use of bitcoin. It do works on opposite way, just like on steam they do accept bitcoin as a payment but not on making bitcoin out of the game.Maybe there are some that i missed but im sure that you would able to earn little amount of satoshis and im sure its not MMROPG.
8063  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How many Bitcoins needed for martingale on: August 21, 2017, 11:14:29 AM
I already tried that in several online gambling sites but it's really not working. Maybe half an hour, you feel like you are controlling the game but a couple of minutes more you are on your maximum bet and poof , all is gone. Huge bankroll also doesn't work because 20x continuing losses only apply but not 20x continuing wins.
I not yet experience 20x loosing streak and I don't want too but if you start at the lower price and if you have more btc I think it might work for some time but not as always.
If you have big bankroll you will definitely experience 20x or more losing streak even on 1 sat bet you will lose up huge amounts of BTC when 20 or more streaks would hit you this is why martingale is very risky to use specially when you are just letting it on without your appearance because if you decide to leave it to roll and when you come back be ready to see a 0 balance.
8064  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Simulator for cryptocurrency trading ??? on: August 21, 2017, 10:19:27 AM
I think SimpleFX has demo accounts.

A lot of Forex platforms, if not all, have the option to have a Demo account.
At least the ones related to crypto, as i know like Whaleclub or 1Broker and of course SimpleFX.

Thanks a lot!
To your mind, what is the difference between them and could you advice the best one? May be one of them is more easy to use or has any other advantages.
I didnt even tried to make use of Whaleclub but on 1Broker i have tried it and its quiet user-friendly and you can easily make use of the site even if you are a complete beginner and SimpleFx is quiet complicated if you dont know how to read the signs or definitions but its also a good place on practicing since they do have demo account and i did practice there on trading too. Just choose on the platform which would really suits you.
8065  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Primedice or Fortune Jack? on: August 21, 2017, 09:15:36 AM
Basically you can't go wrong with FortuneJack.

They got tons of games not only dice. Dice will and can get boring after a while so you got plenty of other games to choose from.

For more info you should see the official FortuneJack thread at
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=774929.0

Absolutely correct, Its not only dice game you can able to play from the site but a wide of variety of games you can find and not only that there are lots of promotions too and do have a very active community and very active admins/supports.

Gambling might have disadvantages but it also have advatages. Gambling can teach you how to manage your money, patience and improve your sens about loosing or winning; you will know when it's the right time to make your move.
The most important lesson we have to do is how we manage our money. How do we think about risks that could happen in the future, because gambling is full of risks.
Money is the main use in gambling but the people who take risk at start to double his money and when they finally lost its either they realized or learn something or nothing. What the most important lesson that we can gain ingambling is our attitude and mindset on the things that we are risking.
It can really give realizations later on when we are already experiencing the consequences of it. We know gambling most of the time we do lost our money if we arent lucky enough.It does really change our views and attitude later on this would not only to be applied on gambling field but also in our normal living too.Lessons would really comes after a defeat or being burned by gambling.
Perhaps that will be a possible consequence and gamblers most often realized it when they are in worst but for me it depends on the people not all gamblers realized and learn from being defeated more times sometime people leave gambling with just losing 2-3x only.
This is true on which there are people do really behave or decide on this way on which once they do lose on gambling for a several times they can easily quit and not engage with it again which i can say that they are wise enough and smart enough to know the risk thats why they decide to stop completely and dont tend to wait for the consequences to come into them.

8068  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you set up limits for yourself? on: August 20, 2017, 09:21:51 AM
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

I limit my self when gambling. It's really hard to gamble with all of your money. I don't really take gambling seriously, I usually just gamble to play with my friends and to have fun. I think that gambling is made for entertainment, and it's stressful if you gamble and just think of the money.

Which makes stress is when gambling and we lose all the money that is owned, regardless of us gamble with whom good friends, other people and gambling online. Because stress is related to what we miss
It's not safe to always think about the money because it's not everything. It shouldn't be the one that dictates your actions because it could lead to catastrophic events in your life. Not only that it could lead you astray with decisions, it would make your friends wary of you, that's why we need limits.
You do have a point on which money isnt everything but when a certain person do plays gambling majority would already think of this thing which money would really be anything and would be the main target and sad to say its the reality why most people do play gambling. Limitation is always been suggested but once we are on the battlefield we would definitely forget those limitations we do set.
8069  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Cons of Bitcoin - why I dislike it. on: August 20, 2017, 07:11:25 AM
I say, this post is very long yet very well-written also.
As for the points, you are most certainly right.
See, Bitcoin isn't perfect.
There are tons of new cryptocoins coming each month.
They all have new, more modern and technologically sound features.
Eventually we will get to a point that coins are very secure, anonymous and even refundable.
However, for the time bei g we must settle for what we have now.

Settling with what we have sounds nice, but when the time comes and a new greater technology does come what happens to Bitcoin prices? Do we go back to 0.001 cents again and a forgotten technology replaced by "xxx coin" and what happens to the people that invested $100,000 in Bitcoin and lost everything? I assume the same that happens to anyone that invests and loses out. But the risks are real, and who's to say that after so many cryptocurrencies being made and finally we find the perfect one and the US government gets tired because it's so hard to tax being it's decentralized and they say "either you use our government back crypto or you go to jail." Very possible scenario. I don't know if the government sees Bitcoin as a threat yet, but it's possible in the future. People were arrested in Bolivia recently for spreading the word on Bitcoin.
All things on this world do really have the risk and thats the risk on involvement on crypto currencies specially on bitcoin.There are lots of coins do exist on the market already and some of them do have better features than bitcoin and as being said there would really be a time that popularity and interest would really be lost in bitcoin and for those who invest big money on bitcoin should really know the risk behind on losing money.
8070  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dice game strategy? on: August 20, 2017, 06:03:28 AM
There is one strategy with which you can roll only once and it's a guaranteed win chance 80% amount max you win cashout. Second strategy 1% of total bankroll chance 1% roll 100 times you might win once. Last the 50% strategy if you are winning continue playing as soon as you lose twice in a row stop

nice strategy but there is really no guarantee at all due to randomness and house edge advantage rule. I am now playing just for fun and testing some strategies as well and currently doin good - I just want to gauge how long this would go and start from there. I advice to just play with money we can afford to lose and just play for fun and entertainment.
I can guarantee you the 80% will work i have 0.1 and i atarted my test on bitseler with a brand new account and won the first roll i withdrew and tried on crypto games ot worked again tried on bitdice again it successfully worked. In first roll of the account you will never lose but continuously doing will be a loss

You were very lucky then. Wondering what was your win chance and amount of money you bet but nonetheless, the issue is whether or not our first bet is most likely a winner and when we bet further, loses will be eminent. But to be honest, if our win chance is high, then even if our account is new or old, we are most likely will going to win on our first bets but not really all the time though.
Wow kinda amazing, I never heard such a strategy like this. Well I am not really sure that gambling could guarantee you a win, for me it is really unpredictable, and aside from that you wont know unless you try and risk some amounts to gamble. Anyway I wanna try it sometime if it will be effective for me, it really sounds awesome. Still you were so lucky to win.
It's scary to do the 80% chance just to try this strategy i think if you are willing to lose an amount that would lead to a greater outcome then you are welcome to try in my opinion. It's your money no one else should have control over it just you. Whatever it takes it's really scary if you don't have that kind of money

There is really a good strategy that withstand long term betting and can bet the house edge advantage. Of course, there are few out there who will be lucky though but not all of the time because casinos are built to make a profit.

One of the things that it does become a question mark is that the possibility of a gambling stand because it wants to find an advantage or facilitate a game for the better. Indeed most of the people who use gambling will certainly experience major losses, because of the nature of the observations that I did them all the way gambling is bad or it could be said they only do gambling to play around. How they can benefit if when playing rely solely on instinct and hope for luck
 
When we are talking about dice games it does really fully rely on instinct hope and luck and theres no strategy that do exist to be profitable on it. If you are lucky enough then you might manage to make money on this game. People who do play on these games do make any strategies that might work on them while they do play this is why strategy been told for how many times on this forum, different so-called effective strategies but in reality all of them wont work anytime.

Good guide and its very useful for those newbie bettors because if they would able to read these things then they will surely get some idea on their betting habits but these all guides would be useless if a certain person would be already got addicted to gambling.He will surely neglect these things already and seems like he didnt even read it on the past. Strong discipline and applying these things would really help you out.

8073  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you know if a gambling site is scam or not? on: August 19, 2017, 10:59:10 AM
I have never played gambling on a scam site, maybe because I just always try to play on sites that have been famous like direct bet, or bitsler. Well, I'm not interested in trying to play on a new site, because it has a big risk to be a scam
The only reason why a site will be a scam is because they may be experiencing losses or they in genera; don't like paying high profits to it's users. It is clearly visible we see so many sites like fortunejack, rollindice, bitseler and god knows many more sites are there. If they were facing loses they would have stopped long ago. Starting a gambling site is basically pure profit in long run. All the owner has to do is keep patience and build that important trust.
Well I guess that would be one of the reasons because they would not give up their reputation if they are making constant profit, gambling sites are making good income due to the increasing adopters since bitcoin gambling sites are popular since it gives convenience to the gamblers.
Profit shouldn't be a priority at all let's say you have 2 people registered and they lost 5 bitcoin profit and they decide that this much profit is enough and they start scamming but they realise they want more profit , but before of their past records no gambles on their site now. Most important first serve your gamblers and then start thinking of profit as long as you are legit profit is a must
It's better to have supporters now than having profit . For when we already got supporters who constantly play and whom invites some other users that can be a additional player that profit side will come along. It is hard to gain players trust and having valuable players that plays for long even the start of the casino is a good indicator that site is not  into scamming.
You can really pinpoint directly if the site is legit or not and this is just on the way on seeing that there are constant players who are playing on that site. If you see no issues about the site then its a good indication too. Yes, trust can really be hardly attained specially on newly gambling sites but it would really piled up later on and would really take time but once been achieved then expect profits would come next.
Yes check the site performance in this forum and see the players comments. If the players suffering from any site, you stay away from that site and which site you find more players in that site without thinking anything you can play nothing will happen. But you need to check how the site customer service will help to players. If they responde well then it's legit site.
Not all gambling sites that do have fast support system signifies that they are already legit because some scam sites do have this kind of support responses on which they are active on answering peoples queries but they end up on scamming people.This is important not only to rely on these kind of indications.Forum feedbacks and community responses would always be suggested to be look first.

User vs User gambling

I am up for it and we can use escrow to avoid any loss.

My skype : casiokbtc654@gmail.com

we can create group and gamble with each other.

I would try it for sports betting and of course escrow Cheesy

How often do you bet?
Do you have some stakes in mind?
Do you spoke with some popular escrow guy on this? Fees?

I bet more a lot.
I usually bet between 100-200 mbtc maybe less more Smiley
No escrow yet, people trust me and I trust them till now.

Actually, this is the issue with the user to user betting. You can do this part very easily with your friends or with the people you know them already. But with unknown persons, it is difficult to have a deal and mostly we spend more time on discussing to trust each other. If this is organized by any trusted person on this forum then they may attract few people to bet.
If there would be an escrow then it would be possible on creating such gambling group but to think off that its quiet hassle to have this kind of betting and besides we can easily play on famous betting sites.Verifications might be a hindrance but not for some gambler who would accept the risk but well Its not bad to start up on this kind of group and im sure there are people who would like to play on this kind of system.

Promoting things like this to children is just wrong and i can't understand how it was bought by the shop to sell. What were they thinking ? Where did you find this ? Was it a to shop ? If so then wow....
Its definitely on a shop since we can buy these kind of toys on a shop and you cant find it anywhere for free.Its really a wrong thing to promote this stuffs to your child because you are molding them to be an early gambler.Even as of now i didnt even told my child about money itself because i dont like for him to get involved into these kind of things thats why i do really avoid them as much as i can and as a parent i do know on whats good for them.

Price of Bitcoin in the month of May on which OP did say such thing is still low on those days which he wont able to regret on what he risk on that day but if he would recall it and those amounts would really be plenty. 2 btc to 6.9 BTC is extremely lucky and i believe there are only a few could able to win such amount on short period of time.Now the decision of proceeding on playing even more would really depends on ones self and if you are addicted specially on being greedy when it comes to winnings then for sure you will end up on playing again.
8077  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you feel when win in gambling? on: August 17, 2017, 05:00:59 PM
Certainly i feel very happy when winning in gambling, and will certainly feel its own pride.
But sometimes all the gamblers are not satisfied with their victory, they always want to get more than that and the result is not a victory but the defeat they get.
Being proud can really be feel while you are winning it feels like you do achieve a new thing on gambling and this kind of emotions boost you up to play even more and end up on feeling again the times of frustration thinking off that gambling isnt just always on winning side we do know that we lose most of the time on playing it this is why we should know when to stop when we are already on the green side.

Dont get affected on those fuds of those shill bitcoin users. Making transactions isnt really a problem since no one could able to hack you from that as long you did put the exact address of your reciever and also you wont be hacked is those private keys and important informations of your wallet are being kept and not being shown in the public. If they dont have such information they cant hack you no matter what.
8079  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Trading vs Gambling on: August 17, 2017, 03:32:34 PM
See many people different thoughts about gambling and trading because they will act according to their situation on money they have but when it comes to me I used to play gamble with both of them because we don't have any guarantee in anything in this world when it comes to investment.

The actual trading with gambling have the same system, it's just gambling more leaning into huge losses and trade depends on how we can do an analysis. But it is indeed the way that we do for trading and also the same gambling, we should be able to analyze properly without it everything will go bad. Gambling is far more complicated than trading, as indeed we should be able to control myself and also strictly prohibited minded greedy. Because once it is not met, the game we're going to end up at a huge disadvantage.
 
I would say the reversed thing.I would treat trading is more complicated than gambling since we do all the important stuffs in able to be profitable on trading unlike on gambling which we can simply put bets without hassling too much our mind on making such decisions. Trading would only be the same as gambling if you do trade without any knowledge.
8080  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Worst mistake in gambling on: August 16, 2017, 01:56:33 PM
What are some the more idiotic and stupid mistakes that you know you shouldn't have made but did anyway. Yes this includes other none gambling stuff like sending btc to the wrong address. I'm interested to find out the stupid things other people do.  Roll Eyes

My biggest mistake was trying the Martingale strategy on a dice game. I started with a very small bet like 0.0001 Bitcoins. If you win you keep betting 0.0001 which means the winnings are very small if you lose, you double the bet.

I got on a long losing streak. At 10 losses in a row the bet got to 0.1024 Bitcoins which is starting to get to serious money. I had to stop before I lost my whole bankroll. I ended up losing a lot but not everything.

You are not alone in this experience.  Many of us experience this kind of losing streak.  The secret on this is that we must know how much bankroll we need to accomodate long series of losing streak.  If our bankroll is just a small one then, this kind of method would incur trauma to the player  Grin.
theoretically, no amount of bankroll is enough, there's always that possibility that you'll just keep losing, no matter how much you might think you'll win (gamblers fallacy). this is the same mistake a lot of gambling newbies make thinking martingale is an unbeatable strategy, only to lose after a dozen consecutive losses.

personally though, I hit a 99x roll off the faucet the other day while waiting for an investment deposit to come in, imagine if I put my deposit on that roll instead  Roll Eyes
The thing you can able to say that bigger bankrolls do have an advantage on when you can able to adjust your betting style or amounts on a certain range which you cant able to do on those who have smaller bankroll and speaking on the situation of your hitting 99x thats an extreme luck but sadly we do end up usually on having smaller bets which we would somehow regret that we should instead bet all of our bankroll. Its just the same story because if we didnt hit up that we will surely say that we shouldnt go all in on that bet.
