8201  Economy / Economics / Re: How can we push the actual use of Bitcoin ? on: July 12, 2017, 09:04:58 AM
The one above me is correct. There is no need to shove bitcoin into market. Once scaling is solved and transaction time is no longer a problem, this will come in naturally. The only thing that can be required from the community is its continuous support and usage of bitcoin. The market will adopt to it when it recognizes that the volume of bitcoin users is quite large or profitable.
This is true,there no really need to push up since it would really be recognize by the public gradually when they saw that its become more and more popular as the time goes by.If scaling would be solved then it would really be a great thing but we wont still be assured if it would happen. If it doesnt then still bitcoin wont stop to grow and we cant stop this thing.
8202  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Superstition on: July 12, 2017, 03:15:13 AM
I am not really a fan of superstition but it is always safer to follow these rules when you talk about gambling. One of the example is eating sushi before you gamble because the sound of sushi sound similar to lose to ''death''.

Lol, I bet it sounds like that but fortunately I'm not caught in the entanglement of superstition when it comes to gambling because I look to the realistic side of things and don't base my games on my feelings, sensory perceptions, dreams and what have you. I just can't look for flimsy reasons to justify my bets ; that's not me.
Well everyone have different gambling style and taste.
And superstition frequently used to make your game more excited and fun to play , that's what i am feeling.
It is just normal even if you or other people who completely don't believe and did not do it .

Yeah and most of the gamblers have certain superstitions in their minds as I believe that whenever I gamble on Thursday I win and that has happened with me most of the times so generally I prefer to gamble only on Thursdays and rest of the days I don't visit any gambling sites.
If you do believe on such thing then it should be fine as long you didnt do anything wrong against any people. We do really have different beliefs and sometimes we just normally created that when we saw that we are winning on that kind of way. We would definitely use it all over again and again since our mind telling us that we are lucky on that time.

The ironic thing is that he also worked for the department of finance, perhaps he had a way to get more money than a regular person would?
I mean, he's 4 million in debt... Must've been really addicted to have let it escalate like that.

The article doesn't mention if it was 4 million dollars or Philipino currency.
Addicted indeed since he already do criminality stuffs on such addiction. I do believe that his 4 million peso in debt since if you escalate or assume on 4m usd then its really worth for him to steal but sadly he ended up on burning himself. This situation should be pictured out by most gambling addicts out there that treat this as a lesson and they will surely come to this point if they wont stop on playing excessive gambling.
8204  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Mayweather vs McGregor Press Conference Live Stream on: July 12, 2017, 02:13:00 AM
As the match will be on "boxing-rules only",  Mayweather is the absolute favorite. But this game especially is much more for the show, like WWF or similar. To mach a whole bunch of money by selling PPV and nothing more.

No questions about it. Mayweather will win this since its gonna be a boxing match. Connor is good but he can't beat the like of defensive boxer like Floyd. But if he got a lucky punch, similar to Marquez hitting Pacquiao, then he will KO Floyd and shock the boxing and MMA world. And yes, they are making a lot of money here. PPV will break the Pacquiao-Mayweather record.

I don't believe anymore in fairness of boxing after I witness the biggest bluff of boxing in the Match of Pcaquiao vs Horn. Any player are winning base on effort and not by stats score. I will not be shocked once Connor won against Mayweather even the fight turns into decision game, SOme huge organization/people are manipulating the result for their personal interest. MMA is now the best and authentic.
We cant still be sure since WBO made a recounting on that fight which turns out that Horn did really won the fight. In this case theres no need to murmured about his loss but accept it. Regarding on the Mayweather  and Mcgregor fight if its on boxing style rules only then theres already a clear winner here and i strongly believe that McGregor would really feel the difference on fighting purely on boxing than on the thing he got use to MMA.
8205  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to control greed on gambling? on: July 11, 2017, 10:54:02 AM
My opinion is if you want to control your gambling greed you need to win small amounts of money in this way you can control yourself.This advice work for me.
It might work for you but for most people it wont work since greed of people do have on different level and it is really normal for a human being on having the feeling of greediness because we do really need money to earn. Greed is really very hard to control if you are aiming for money on playing gambling. If you dont like to lose money then dont play gambling at all from the start.
8206  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When to leave the game? on: July 11, 2017, 08:56:10 AM
No, I'm not always winning, I'm mostly losing, I said sometimes I win in such cases, and if there were no winning cases it would be much easier to stop. But if it's not an easy challenge then it is even more intriguing. )

I dont win at all because when I win, I will keep playing and in the end Im going to lose everything. It is depressing for me because In the past Im going to keep playing by depositting more but then lose again. Nowadays I dont do that anymore but Im still playing, I had fun when Im playing now even when I only lose
Good for you that you did able to realize on the end and you make now gambling as an entertainment not for making money.Its really hard to resist when we are on the winning phase on which we will eventually play even more and stopping would really be a difficult thing we do only stop when we dont have money anymore to spend.
Even gamblers are gambling for entertainment, they are not finding right time to stop. We must develop the habit of stopping gambling after some time when we are gambling for fun, from this practice we can slowly move for gambling for profit making because when be good at stopping at our own willingness then there will be lots of possibilities to crack profits from gambling.

I agree stopping at right time is alone not on enough to make profits from gambling but this must be one of the prime factor to encourage gamblers to stay safe by protecting their bankroll.
You are right when gambler is focusing on not losing his bankroll then automatically he can make profits from gambling. To prevent losses we must stop gambling at right time. When gambler is good at stopping at right time then probably he can gamble for profit making also.

But we should focus on other aspects of gambling so that we will not lose big. Even pro gambler can suffer losses but we must stop gambling after some limit. This way a gambler can have good experience with gambling either fun and entertainment or with profit making also.

You must leave the game when you are still on top when you win big on a strike and you feel that you can play again it is time to step off for a while and invest the money that you won. You must not give in to the temptation that you can win more as that would be the lure of it and you would end up losing all your winnings.
Exactly, many times around in this world that i've sucessfully encounter this situation that i win sometimes but in the middle of my playing my mind set always saying that achieve high. But in the end it will loss all with just a single minute. Anyways i learn now from my mistake that i've been done ago
People on this field of gambling sometimes do the same words all over again saying that they do learn a lesson from their lose and they know already the things that they would do on next games but in reality those words arent really being implemented or being controlled by themselves and do commit the same mistake all over again.I can say such thing because i do experience it on playing gambling.
8207  Economy / Gambling / Re: Bitdouble.io |social gambling game |Prov fair | 0.005 mBit faucet | New PVP game on: July 11, 2017, 07:58:04 AM
Is this Gambling game same as the Color Cube game in real life. ?
its simple there are tree color,red,green and black.red stand for number equal or less than 7 ,green stands for 0 and black stand for number equal or greater than 8.there are odd and even betting option also.game also provide weekly and monthly high roller bonus + VIP bonus as well.
Thanks @prashant for the assistance and he was right. This site do have the basic roulette game which you would need to bets on colors.I want to add up regarding on the potential wins in every hit. For both red and black you will 2x your bet amount the same on betting on odd an even, Hitting green is the best part since you would win x14 of your bet amount which is really great. We do have weekly and wager contest ( check on here for recent stats of players: https://bitdouble.io/highrollers.php).
8208  Other / Archival / Re: Which one is more risky? Skill-based gambling or trading? on: July 11, 2017, 03:19:59 AM
This completely depends on your ability and the skill you have got, if you are supreme in games like chess, poker or anything and you believe the opponent is not cheating or is a face to face game then you must go with skill based gambling while if you believe you are good in instantaneous actions like selling high and buying low.
You have the determination required to hold a coin even at it's extreme worst then yeah go for trading.
It's rare to see people who are good in gambling (skilled based games) so if you have that skill you have to pursue
in developing it as it can provide you easy money compared to the journey you will take in trading.
Trading depends on the market, like now almost all are down but in gambling anytime you can make money.
When we are talking about fastness on making money then gambling do really have the edge compared on trading but i can really tell the difference when it comes to risk comparing both things. Skill-based gambling can really give you money if you are really have the skills to win on most of the time even theres lose but you can sustain to end up on profits then thats a good thing but a rare thing which can people could acquire.

8210  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can gambling help you with your life? on: July 10, 2017, 10:58:31 AM
You should consider gambling as a form of entertainment. You can gain some fun out of it with a chance of winning some money. However, you should realize that "the house" (=casino) is more likely to win and you should only gamble amounts that you can afford to lose.


But some people able to beat the house and change their life. For example : Dan Bilzerian https://www.instagram.com/danbilzerian/?hl=en
I'm wonder how he able to win the match and for now, he's enjoying his wealth and girl for eternity
It seems to me that in fact this is an exception to the general rules. In most cases, gambling players lose their lives and do not find. In most cases, they lose everything they have, they win and buy. Gambling is very thin, and the main thing is not to break it.

In most of the cases, we hear bad about gambling and in the same time, we have a hope to sometime good for anyone that gambling change his life to win a big jackpot. But he is only one man who consider lucky person out of million people. But accept it gambling change the life for someone. If i told you about myself that gambling give any good effect in my life, then sure Yes, not about win a lot of money but learn different things from gambling, like fun, enjoyment, excitement and competition. 

Yes the gambling will change life in a single day but not for everyone, It changes only one lucky person life from millions of gamblers. The jackpot will give huge money with that money the poor guy will become rich in a single day. But to win the jackpot, we must have luck in our fate. Yes in gambling I will win money or not I don't know, but I will get good entertainment and nice time pass.
Thats what we called it as a one in a million chance and yes i agree on what you have said it would really turn another one poor mans life in an instant but i strongly believe that this is really the destiny of a certain person when they do hit jackpots. That is why lottery based games offline is still booming up on my country because they do really like to change their lives hitting that opportunity and thats  only the time on which gambling can help out our life.
8211  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you set up limits for yourself? on: July 10, 2017, 09:47:27 AM
Setting up some limits is easier like 1-2-3 but stopping gambling within that limit is like climbing up Himalayas. You may not find your success that easier. I do see two types of gamblers are following those limits more easier : 1. Pro gamblers 2. Newbie gamblers. If you notice, these two types of gamblers are not into addictions yet or tackled addictions effectively.

A gambler must understand the benefits of setting up limit and following them strictly :
1. When we are stopping gambling within limit, we will never get gambling addictions.
2. Limiting gambling activities will result in limited losses.
3. Limiting ourselves will gain control over our emotions. Emotion control is the key everywhere.
Yes there are so many benefits of giving yourself a limit or controlling yourselve to avoid too much lose in your game. It is not bad to put a limit or control yourself , yes it will affect your game but for good. You may be able to prevent losses and can help you to earn more in the game. This could be good.
The main benefit on having strong self control and you do have set some limits you would really definitely lessen the risk of getting a broke gambler later on. Limiting yourself would be always suggested on gambling world. Emotions mostly affects us either on winnings or losses which boost up our actions on playing and we might forget our limits thats why strong control is always being suggested.
8212  Economy / Gambling / Re: Bitcoin Horse Racing on: July 10, 2017, 03:05:44 AM
how is this bookmaker horse racing site going!  strong or dead now?
The main thing is that the horse was alive at the start. Actually, I think that bookmaker's names on horseback races make good bets. But the fact is that I still fall for gambling. Something I'm not lucky lately and it seems to me that I need to leave this venture.
Well there are times that people are unlucky but sometimes that there are lucky people can make a real high profit..
That i think it is depends in people who are lucky. the problem we don't know when we will lucky if we bet anytime soon we will lose our bet..
I am addicted betting horse racing here in my country sometimes i win but i think mostly i lose.. well i am just betting because it gives me fun when watching the horse racing..

Horseracing generally have a higher odds. You can even bet on top3 and still be in profit if any of them wins.
It's easy to look at the statistics and find the better horse.
Agree on what you have said betting on top 3 would always give you the best odds which you cant find on other gambling games but risk always comes after once it hit 4th and below then that would really be a decent loss for you. This thread has been bumped last post from april and to answer i didnt even know if its still available or not.
8213  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Play with your profit or not? on: July 09, 2017, 01:13:38 PM
If our profit is small why we need to gamble? Unless we are so lucky enough to win. But how can we know if we are lucky? Of course we wanted to try to play once but if we win in a game for sure we will play again but we are not sure if we are going to win again, so if we have small profit don't gamble or if you gamble once and win then you need to stop immediately than to lose all your winnings.

We dont know if we are lucky or not that is why dont try it. Even when we know that we are lucky sometimes we can lose as well so dont try it unless you have alot of money to spare. I think that eventough you have money to spare, dont spare alot to gamble because you are just going to waste your money
We wont really know if when would luck comes to us and out of curiosity we would really test it out and play gambling. If we do have spare money then its isnt bad to try as long we do know how to handle our funds and not to lose it all. Playing with profits isnt bad too since this thing would most gamblers would do the big question here is if we could able to make profits on the first time we do bet.
8214  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: @Philippines An addicted gambler gone wild on: July 09, 2017, 10:28:04 AM
Any update for this case or did something happened the same to this tragedy in the gambling industry?

Theres no update on this one because the suspect is already dead. What youd expect on this kind of scenario? Its indeed a tragic thing happened to him because of his addiction which we can say that it wont really give a good thing if we just let it be on ourselves. Just to picture out on what he did, he lost huge money on playing casino and he decided to steal off those chips tend to rob it out but in the end he did burn himself.
8215  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How I made 1 BTC in one night from a gambling website on: July 09, 2017, 07:24:59 AM
It could become true, strangers things have happen, luck doesn't only happen to others :-)
You got your karma correct but there's a fault in your stars.
-You never actually gambled.Heck,you never opened a gambling site.
-You got whatever through the referral link which I suppose is unbelievable since you refrained from telling the website's name.
-Your story is too good to be true.Just my opinion.

The option of this being a story for superstitious people which will ask for his referral (since others won some BTC) isn't excluded either.
This is what im thinking too on which some people would really ask for its referral link and believing that he do win by using it. Its not clear or being said how those people won under his link unless if theres a method he gave but methods doesnt still work that can make you money for longer runs. This is somehow a hype which he do tell his story and good karma and might get even more referrals. lol

Straight of the printing press the paper is still hot and the ink wet as we deliver this story to you this evening.

Top Wall Street strategists see bitcoin 'cannibalizing' gold, worth as much as $55,000.

http://www.cnbc.com/2017/07/07/strategist-tom-lee-weighs-sees-bitcoin-going-as-high-as-55000.html

Updates if we can be bothered to post them...
Its not actually a breaking news but its just an another speculation on bitcoins price on next 5 years. If it would happen then it would be a great thing for us bitcoin users specially to those who hold of for long term but this thing isnt guaranteed since we know prices might pump or dump on bitcoins ecosystem and no strategist would ever can predict the price on ahead of us.
8217  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you consider trading as gambling? on: July 08, 2017, 02:11:37 PM
I agree, we need to have knowledge in trading because if not trading is also like gambling that you bet your money with no assurance, but if you have enough knowledge in trading it is better to trade than to gamble. But Gambling and trading is not the same they are still deifferent of the two, it is depend on a person on how they will consider trading and gambling.

It is not really knowledge because all you need to have is just some rumours of what the pump will be, It is based on speculation because that is all that happens behind the scene of altcoin trading. In conclusion it is pretty much the same as gambling unless that you are 'playing' with speculator instead of the house

Then if you don't have knowledge about those rumors wheter its true or not do you think you can earn with it? I think no since some of the said rumors are just made by those holders and most provably you will lose you money if you fall for there trap so thats why we need some knowledge so that we can escape it if things becoming worst for some certain fuds around.
Yes, we need some knowledge in trading because if not we will have any idea of when we will going to buy or sell, we need to check every single day of how was happening in trading when it is going up or down, if we don't have knowledge how can have rumors? We need to be careful because it is money involve here so why don't we need knowledge? And we cannot consider trading as a gambling because they are different.
Yes, we can somehow compared trading as a gambling and as you said if you are not trading well lets say you dont really have idea on whats going to trade and which one would you buy then you are totally gambling your money to earn money because you dont have basis on doing such action on doing trading we really need to analyze every coin that we bought and the critical part is when to sell and when to buy out.
8218  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: In Gambling, Money is not everything on: July 08, 2017, 12:54:03 PM
I think the sole purpose of gambling is to earn money. What do you get in virtual gambling without you losing or earning money. I agree that you must not make gambling as your source of income. Gambling is built only for fun and entertainment, but sad part is that others tend to get addicted to it. Many individuals who make gambling as their main source of income filed bankruptcy, they are the people that always looking for an easy many and instant way to be rich. Money controls everything per se, If you a lot of it then you could play but the temptation of this industry attracts even those people who earns just enough for them to feed his/her family three times a day and payments for bills. Money and gambling can cause a lot of damage if it's not used properly.
Sad to say but this is the reality on gambling there are lots of people who do play gambling for the sole of earning money but thinking on earning and making it as a source of income then its really a bad idea because knowing gambling the losing percentage is higher compared on winning which means its really a tough job for you too sustain this kind of aim and will surely lead you out on getting broker later on,
8219  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Giving up gambling is not easy on: July 08, 2017, 12:17:59 PM
Initially it will not at all be easy if you addicted to it. Reason for addiction is simple because people treat gambling as a money earning centre and not as a playing for fun and relaxing oneself. They take loan etc to recover looses and end up in more debt. Well firstly take a holiday and become mentally calm. And get back to your normal life
You can't easily get away with something that has always been a part of you. Treating gambling as a source of income is even worse because it could lead you to more bankruptcy and might be the thing that you will regret the most in the future. Recovering your losses is a good thing but how you do it is the real challenge.
Recovering your loses is a good thing? No it wont since this thing will add up on your addiction which would result on more severe situation on which you would suffer badly on the consequences ahead because of your addiction. Giving up isnt a thing that you can do it on a single night because its really hard to quit this thing specially when you already making it as a habit.
8220  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Worst mistake in gambling on: July 07, 2017, 03:46:07 AM
Worst mistake in gambling for me is to invest all your property because you feel you are near of making millions and winning it. Even the feeling is so close, gambling depends on luck. I can say that it is luck that makes the winning because even the most used technique could not be effective in some instances. Some are controlling the game. If they don’t want you to win, you will not win. If you win, they will force you to bet again and play the game again for your money to return to them.

that is really too much risky if you are putting all your money or property n gambling, or something that you cannot afford. i will never like to in vest all my assets gambling but will put such amount of money that i can afford.

Well, it is not advisable and actually an insane move if you put all your money or property in gambling.  There is no assurance that you will win if you bet these stuffs.  We all know gambling is a random game.  It is a chance game where the possibility is favorable to the house due to the house edge effect.  I also will never bet all my earnings and property just to take the chance of winning big because I have more chance of ending with nothing.
This kind of action is really insane on which only addicted gamblers will surely make this move and its very risky since you are putting up all your assets on a single bet or game which would really changed your  entire life if luck wont go by your side and you will surely realize that thing when you are already facing the consequence because of such action that you made.
