No ways !! You may as well but your kids a fake drug addict play set with fake syringes and stuff.

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.
8123  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.

Some bitcoin users told me not to do transactions in these couple of days because hackers are active these days. I want to know is it true? or some kind of rumor? Anyone here who have faced such problem?
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.
8125  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.
8126  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.
8127  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Betcoin.ag scammed me over 1BTC on: August 16, 2017, 12:29:34 PM
I would contact their support and calmly explain the situation.

If you get angry and impatient you are not helping the process. Betcoin is not risking their reputation for 1 BTC.

Do they care about their reputation? I guess no, their reputation is very bad already especially in this forum so why it is impossible for them to risk their reputation for 1btc?
Curious to see how betcoin defense themselves regarding this situation.
This is true, since their previous cases or issues havent still resolved yet as far as i know and this site do have some issues from its users. For OP this isnt the proper board to report such thing and i would like to tell you that you should show some proofs not just on verbal ones because its really hard to believe if this issue is true or not.
8128  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What would you do? on: August 16, 2017, 12:00:58 PM
What will you do with your last balance? Waiting for the right moment before made a bet or because I like sports betting sometimes I bet on the game that will end? i do that because no more chance for me so i think better i'm rely on luck.
Thinking on your last bet since you do have your last balance of money to play on specially on sports we do really mostly think that it would really depend on luck already. Theres really the feeling that we would really end up on winning the game and those kind of insights or emotions do really come out on these kind of moments.

But sometimes the same kind of insights or emotions will also make you to do wrong betting and you will end up in loss. So dont see the bets as last or start , but if you are strong on your analyse then just go and bet on it.
You do have a point though and on real talk our emotions would really somehow mix on these kind of decisions and we cant really removed on our minds that we are on our last bet even how do we think off that this isnt on the last. Im going on to the last bet when my intuition and instincts do tell me to do so and also into my analysis too.
I think there is no emotion at those moment, we already know that it is our last balance even though some people will be careful to use it but they already know their hopes for winning at that moment are gone unless they win when they used their last balance.
It actually depends because not all gamblers do have the same views or way they feel specially on their last bets. Some may say that they do bet without care at all since its their last bet some may do that way without expecting to win but there are others would really rely on their last hope on that last bet they do have and thinking that there would be still a chance to make it big and able to recover loses.
8129  Other / Archival / Re: Satoshi Arbitrage - Arbitrage Betting Investment Fund - 30%+ Per Month! on: August 16, 2017, 10:47:29 AM
Since its an ICO i believe this wont be the proper board to be posted of this kind of thing. Speaking on this one, arbitrage betting is already been done by some sportsbettor in gambling world which would have really the same idea on which you are telling here. I would say that you would really have a hard time on getting investors but well proposing this project isnt really bad at all. Good luck
8130  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If money would not be a problem, would you still gamble? on: August 15, 2017, 02:00:01 PM
I am just wondering if you still would gamble if you would have enough money? I mean, now as it is, do you gamble for the fun or for the profit?
If you have a lot of money, which means you are rich/wealthy kind of people money was not a problem for you , whether you win or loss it doesn't matter for you. Of course you're just for fun and nothing else.
Yes, for people who are over money, then the goal is none other than to have fun. They want to spend time with the money they have, because they are a lot of money so they do not think too much, money is not a problem, for them, the important thing is to play.

Absolutely, they don't care about the money they are going to lose as long as they are enjoying. And winning is just a plus for them. For them the important thing is to have fun and enjoy the life they have because they are lucky that they have lots of money to buy happiness.
Its reality, there are people who do play gambling no matter what not minding if they are losing soo much money.This kind of habit would be only good for those who do have money to sustain gambling and wont easily be wrecked up their own entire life unlike for those average gamblers which do have the same situation they are most likely to suffer the consequences so badly.
8131  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fun seeking gamblers vs profit seeking gamblers on: August 15, 2017, 01:34:15 PM
It seems to me that gambling is too risky. That's why I do not find it fun or profitable. Maybe it can be fun but only at first and only  for people who enjoy the risk. Also I dont believe in the profitability of gambling.

As for me it only becomes fun when I'm winning and beating the house . That's the only time gambling becomes profitable and fun at the same time else I'm all for the profits and no joking around with perceived fun.
well that's really cool when you able to beat the house and convince yourself that you are already a pro or you are lucky on that time but when you
lose there's different view on it i guess most of us here wants to be lucky and to win to have some fun and enjoy our stay.
This kind of emotions do really come out when we are winning we do strongly believe that we did able to to beat out the house and when we lose we do feel the opposite way and in worst cases we do make even chase those loss we do commit on playing which is not really an advisable thing to do. Once we lost we should accept it and moved on because if we do think up those money that vanished we would really just stressed out ourselves.
8132  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: why wouldnt a government create its own asic to 51% bitcoin? on: August 15, 2017, 10:36:31 AM
No one as of today is rich enough to create create enough ASICs to control 51% of the network. Moreover in fact you need a bit more than that.

A Government could do it quite easily. Or as someone pointed out earlier in the thread, the Chinese government could march in to mines in its country and take over more than 75% of the hashrate anyway, which is a risk with bitcoin.

My view is that most Governments are simply not interested enough to do this.



I dont think its easy as you say. If you think abot the enery to be wate in this hashrate and the atual "enery crise"(coal...) the govern will not incentive/force this expensive activity only to destroy a cryptocurrency.

I said they could do it quite easily. I qualified that at the end of my post with the point that you make that they are not interested enough. Lets look at facts. The European bank is printing 60 billion euros a month - and its currency is strengthening, that means they are printing more than the entire value of bitcoin every 3 weeks or so. So why would they want to do this? But IF they did, then they would more than have the resources to do so.
But as per my knowledge, in recently have some rumor about Russia government has spend $100 million for support community miner Bitcoin in their country for compete miner in China. This is positive signal about government in some country still interested Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.
Instead on making this kind of attack or plans on destroying on Bitcoin, russia have been decided to go in mining field which is really a nice thing and about on the 51% attack on bitcoin wont really be sufficient enough considering on the hashrate its too big and even government do have the power i dont think they will jump in to this aims or goals on controlling or blocking bitcoin. Its not possible its soo damn vast.

These are just rumors

Well, those might not be quite rumors but rather speculations by some people allegedly close to Putin but regardless, it makes no sense for Russia to mine Bitcoin and compete with China (which would be a losing battle anyway). If anything, Russia would rather try to push their own crypto, but personally, I believe in neither possibility. In other words, these are most likely just empty talks
You do have a point though on which we cant really be sure if those informations are legit or not but thinking of that theres a competition between countries i would like to know what would be the goal if they won such battle? Its a senseless thing to think off that they would fight for the spot on having the biggest mining operations. Most likely maybe they would create their own coin, but well who knows because no one do really have an idea on whats on their minds.
8133  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ever regretted not gambling? on: August 15, 2017, 10:07:33 AM
The question is quite simple one, have you ever regretted not gambling on an occasion? Like football matches etc, where you had a gut feeling of a team wining but you didn't bet? This happened with me in the recent el classico, i had a gut feeling of Real Madrid winning 3-1 but i just didn't bet. Smdh
Im sure that most gamblers do really experience this kind of situation on which we do end regretting specially on those assumptions we do make and we do have the guts that a particular team would win on a certain game but you do end up on betting because its either you hesitated or dont have money at all to bet and sadly those assumptions and gut feeling would really hit the spot and later on we would really regret and blame ourselves why we didnt bet such thing.
8134  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Where do you guys gamble BTC? on: August 15, 2017, 09:42:04 AM
I want to try gambling some of my BTC, but I don't know where to gamble it. What sites are legit and have a varieties of gambling options I can mess around with?
Just want to ask what particular game you do want to play? since you didnt mention about that because there are lots of gambling sites in the market with various types of games available. If you do like to play dice and some other casino games like slots and many more then Fortunejack would be a good place to play but well it would really depend on your taste on where you would like to spend your bitcoin.
8135  Economy / Gambling / Re: Investing in btc casinos on: August 14, 2017, 01:09:34 PM
Investing in Bitcoin casinos is not bad . But I don't prefer to do such a thing. I have rarely seen people who make huge profits by investing in such things. Like if you see the ratio of people who have won and who have lost then you would see most of the people have faced losses compared to profit. It's an addiction , which would lead you to lose all your money. Even i used to bet a lot and I used to win , then I became more greedy which lead to me loosing all my money . Then I decided to quit every such thing and just earn the Normal way in which there is no risk and buying things directly from that money.
You didnt see one since you didnt seek out at all on those people who do make investments on gambling sites. Investing on bitcoin casinos is really good specially when you do have big funds profits might be small but much better than on playing gambling itself and i would really do such thing investing would be always a better choice but only choose up on reputable casinos sites.
8136  Economy / Gambling / Re: Satoshimines - Consistent and very profitable Bot! #BETA Version on: August 14, 2017, 11:50:46 AM
With this script I can make profits longterm, even if I play against a house edge?

Does this script manipulate the random generator somehow?

We are discovering that satoshimines is manipulating the bombs by placing bombs in the most clicked squares. So, we are making it possible to beat the game.
Its amazing to know that someone could able to tell that satoshimines are manipulating the bombs? How sure you are? Tiles are being clicked on random way and theres no specific favorite spot on the game since people or gamblers do play it on random way and im sure they do have different clicking patterns which we know satoshi mines do generate hashes on each click which is not possible to say that they are manipulated.

I do both most of the time, But prefer trading Bitcoin rather than simply gambling it, considering that trading isn't necessarily a negative house edge game unlike gambling and you can improve the possibilities of profit if you make good enough choices.
Gambling cant really be consider as an alternative on making money for longer periods unlike on trading which we can eventually make our own ways to enhance our skills and to be profitable on long term. Trading do have its own place and gambling too they do have different purpose and gambling is just really good for past time.
8139  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Faucet gambling excitement on: August 14, 2017, 09:34:08 AM
A lot of people gamble just for fun and most of us ever used faucet to gamble, but when I gamble using faucets I don't feel any excitement, I am having fun but I don't feel the adrenaline rush that I got from gambling with real deposit and I gambling recklessly with the faucet because I know that I got nothing to lose

Do you guys feel the same thing?
I do feel the same thing too on which i dont really feel the thrill on using those faucet amounts since you dont really care at all if you do lose them since its free at all unlike on using your own money its a different story. In faucet we do really be confident enough to play and sometimes we do possibly won unexpectedly and when you decide already to use real money another betting habit will surely change.
8140  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fun seeking gamblers vs profit seeking gamblers on: August 13, 2017, 02:29:50 PM
I think if profit is what you after you better off investing in the casino. Play for fun and hope to win big that is another story entirely. You should never rely on gambling for income or profit it just doesn't work. Investments take time and nothing happens overnight.
You have to be patient. So while you patient waiting for your investment you can gamble for fun.
Knowing that gambling sites investment do really give only small percentage of returns on your investment which would really make your bore for sure but its still better since its an investment and would really run longer. Gambling is just solely designed for entertainment purposes and making money is just a bonus if you are lucky enough but pushing yourself on limits on making money with it is really a dangerous stuff.
