You might be correct. We might have a dark ending for Game of Thrones, guessing how the mind of George R. R. Martin works. If there will be a long winter then we might see everyone from Westeros sail east under the banner of Daenerys.
You seem very knowledgeable. If I'm remembering right. Daenereys lived longer than Khal Drogo and her brother. Caitlyn Stark outlived her husband. Cersei outlived King Robert. Sansa and Arya Stark outlived their father and brother. Most of the female characters seem to live longer and survive, while male characters have a much higher fatality rate. If that trend does exist, do you think it will continue till the end of the series? Well the male characters here who've died are not the same as the prominent malr characters this comih season. Also they all died in the first season which pretty much is more on the darker side where character develpment is still slow. We may very well be seeing jon snow on the iron throne with all the back stories about his lineage. |

I doubt anyone would buy it though even if it is as strong a strategy as you claim it to be. Everyone knows you can't be sure of the outcome when we talk about dice. Your strategy might work for a time for you but it can't be the same all the time for the people who'll buy it

I often see that people prefer skill-based gambling such as poker or sportsbook because they think it's more profitable than trading.
But, people say that sports can be manipulated by mafia/casino for their own good.
So, which one is more risky? Skill-based gambling or trading? I think both of them have same risks because both of them could be manipulated, unexpected things could happen and many more.
Skills based gambling is risky than trading. Gambling is a game of chance and it take the gods of gambling to be on your side for you to really succeed in it. Trading if you treat well bring low return compared to skills based gambling but you can skillfully trade and have consistent success but you cannot skillfully gamble and have consistent success. You're talking about gambling in general here dude. Op is talking about skill based gambling like poker or sports bet where in you get a higher chance of winning based on your skill, experience and understanding of the game. This is not about dice, or roulette or slots that we're talking about here and skill based gambling is a whole lot different from the luck based gambling you're talking about |

Gambling is addictive because it's illegal and it's pretty easy to make money from it.
If what you said was true then no one will get addicted to gambling in places where gambling is legal, by your hypothesis, no one in a place like Las Vegas should be addicted to gambling but we know that is not true so your statement is completely wrong. Right. Saying that gambling is addictive simply because its illegal is a very shallow reasoning. It may be illegal in your part of the world but most people who get addicted to gambling are not even aware if its illegal or not. |

As the title says, do you think that you're addicted to gambling? or you just don't realize that you're addicted  If you ask me, i used to addicted to gambling but stopped after suffer big losses even though i'm still in profit. I don't think I'm addicted to gambling but I can see why it is addictive. There are times that I want to throw logic out the window and make a big bet to double my money all or nothing, but so far I have resisted. The same thing with me, I consider myself as not addicted. Because I know how to take my losses and I know to control myself. I know that gambling can lead me into a lot of loss if ever I don't have enough power to control myself. And that's why I keep on telling myself that I don't have any guts to become addicted since I don't have enough to gamble. Well i think there really are fewer people who we can consider as gambling addicts. If you can restrain yourself from doing it even if you're really enjoying and having a good time, then i think you're far from becoming addicted. I was pretty fond of playing poker back in the days and i spend a lot of time playing it but when it comes to weighing priorities, its easy for me to put that enjoyment in the backseat for more important things |

The act of gambling isn't rare for People under 18, especially those in High School. I remember gambling when I was in high school by playing card games or betting on sports. I've read somewhere online that between 60 and 80 percent of high school students in the U.S engage in gambling at least once during their time in High School.
I think it's different nowadays, when I was in high school I never had any idea that online gambling has exist, I just learned online gambling when I graduated college, and also that was the time that I almost ruin my life. I was thinking, what if I knew gambling when I was still in high school, would I will be able to finish my studies?, I think I will be addicted when I Knew it that time, I am weak in controlling my emotion but thank God I knew it when I am already matured and now I'm enjoying it. Its not really just about online gambling. Back in the days its not even conventional gambling. When i was a minor, we use to make monetary bets on pretty much everything like coin toss or color games. Its not until i aged a little bit that i became awarenof what gambling really is |

There are some investments that are exactly like gambling, so in my opinion I will go for gambling, investment opportunities likes fixed deposit and treasury bills are good because there is a 100% chance that you will get your profits but with the stock market it's all a gamble, so why not gamble in the first place.
You're talking about a portion of investing here when you talk about playing with stocks. In general, investing is still way better than gambling and your money would be in a much secure place. Proper researching about the best investment that would suit you seems wiser than putting a big amount on a roll of dice or roulette. |

Hi guys! I was always curious if the most of the gamblers have "scheduled" their gambling time or you just go gambling whenever you're in the mood. What about you? Is there any specific time you gamble? Week(ends) days? Or just randomly spread ? Let us know  Nope I will just play in some gambling sites if I am really bored and just to past the time, There is no really specific time when I play i'll just do it if I feel like I really want to. Well i think, regularly for normal people, its the same as you. If you're not really a gambler, you'd only do it if the opportunity presents itself and you have the funds to do it. Non-gamblers usually don't think about gambling at all and just goes with the flow of things. If you're a gambler then you'll definitely try to find time for it and a scheduled gambling session is not new |

FYI, sports betting also included in casino games too.
Dice/Blackjack and other lucky based games are more riskier than sports betting, in sports betting you only need to analyze which match/teams would be won on that match while Dice with luck too and whatever strategy you use it doesn't affect anything to your game.
I think you should also need to know that in sports betting also you must need a luck to win your bet. Because these days many matches are fixed so just based on your skills about the players or teams you can't win always your bets. Hence, in all gambling games, we must be a lucky to make money. If not, mostly you will lose money in the longer run. I don't think so. In sports betting, evrn if you say that some games are fixed, majority of still depends on the ability of your chosen team or player to win. That's why its important to try to study first stats and figures if you're not that familiar with the sport that you're going to bet on. You won't have that luxury of analysis if you're into casini gambling though it would be really fun but the chances are not as high in winning compared to sports betting |

No, I would not gamble everything. What I would do is maybe set up some foundations for conservation, medical research, humanitarian missions and the like. Then the rest of everything I have will go to my family.
Well any sensible man would pretty much do the same thing. If you know it's going to be your last day, i think most of us wouldn't even have gambling in our thought. It would all be about how to make your family feel better after you're gone and how to at least make your last day worth it. Gambling is not worth a second of your last day. |

You should not be gambling with money you cannot afford to lose. This is easier said then done because it's very tempting to.sdd more credits and try again. You also more likely to add more credits than before in order to double up and recover the loss you suffered earlier.
Instead know when to stop and set a limit with no limit you will empty your bank account or wallet so easily.
Well for me i consider it very shameful to gamble with somebody else's hard earned money. Gambling is not a very important thing to spend on and even if i'm having this huge urge to place a bet on a sporting event, i make sure that i have money to spend. I can't look at myself in the mirror and see someone who doesn't spend his own money for his vices |

More and more casinos are adding this crappy .025 max bet rule with bonuses. I will be avoiding these casinos as they are predatory terms. If you accept a bet you should pay a bet. It seems most swiss soft casinos are adding this term. Just the amount of bonus wagering requirement alone, is heavily in the casino favor and to restrict someone to just .025 max bet is wrong. Especially if they are a table game player.
Yeah this means that you have no choice and since casinos do have their own house edge, this just ensures these operators that they will pretty much earn money more. Every player should have an option to choose if they want to go on max bets and it shouldn't at all be required |

Gambling will always be around on the internet and bitcoin makes it easier to fund accounts and it is more anonymous. I think more sites will get added and the quality will keep getting better.
Yes gambling will always available in this world. Bitcoin and other crypto currencies make it more easier nowadays. Thanks to the internet that makes all these 'good things' happened. And for sure in the future more games will be developed. And the way we gamble will be even more easier to do, I hope! Yeah internet have gave us the benefit of convenience in the field of gambling and in the future I hope the Mobile phones will play a major role to make it more convenient and we will use our gambling sites like a messenger and will gamble any time at any place at any work and it will not make us away from other activities. Well of course even right now we are feeling the convenience that online gambling provides but as long as there are casino meccas like Vegas and Macau, high end gamblers would still frequent and prefer these casinos than online sites, For regular people like us who like to gamble, then these online sites bring gambling to us which would is a lot more convenient but there still are some who prefer the feel of a real casino |

Exactly, giving up in gambling is like " RELATIONSHIP" when your partners break up then suddenly you don't want to happen that but that's its so its just like in relationship goals of being giving up in gambling that if you want to stop playing gambling your mind says no i won't hahahaha  Good comparison though there may be differences here as with a relationship, you get out because you don't feel the same affection anymore or if you got cheated on by your partner or if both parties decide to call it quits, Gambling though is like taking away an addict's reason to wake up everyday. Some people even put more importance in their gambling than their personal relationships. For regular people, it's easy to quit once your loved ones are involved but for addicts, it's an entirely different case |

It would be very hard since gambling mainly focuses on monetary bets and would make anyone fall to greediness. You can gamble with sports but seldom can you make gambling a sport. The fact that we can't teach or promote gambling to minors tells us a lot about why gambling will remain the way it is now.

As i know gambling is all about luck and how to control my greed, except sportbetting (of course need skill and strategy).
I have experience in gambling (casino), somtime i hit big only with faucet or free money and i can withdraw from that. but because my greed i always want more and more, then i'll come again with my money as bankroll. Bet more and hope win more, but because of that i'll lose my money little by little and usually i'll stop after my bankroll to be "0". I call that with greed.
Anyone here have any suggestion to control my greed? Let me know.
You need to control yourself so that you can avoid losing more money. Greediness is a big enemy of yourself so you need to fight for it for controlling in your emotions. And you need to be contented for what you have get if you won small i think stop playing. I don't think there's a way to control greed. It's been a basic human instinct ever since. It may not be simply about money, or power, or fame, but human have succumbed to greediness of different types since way before. If you know that you have a history of being greedy with money in the past, better avoid gambling all in all. It will definitely get to you if you start and you will have a very hard time even controlling it. |

Trading is less risky than gambling. Gambling depends mostly on luck but trading is different. If you know the market you can make profit from trading it doesn't depend on your luck. And in bitcoin price are likely to go upwards. In gambling you gonna lose now or later.
I think it requires years of experience to get to the level when you can make reliable profit from trading in the long run. Without skill and knowledge it's very easy to lose your money with trading. One of the major differences between gambling and trading is time - with trading you need to wait weeks and months, sometimes years to see profit, but with gambling everything happens within seconds. Well not really. You can make a positive trade basically by observing and having other experienced traders help you out. And though it may take days or weeks, you have a far better chance of having a profit this way than gambling. Though patience really is the key as trading really is a waiting game |

I would research a bunch before placing a bet with real money only because well....it's real money.
I think that's the best way to go about it. If you don't research and study statistics before a bet(sports bet) then you're better off giving away your money to charity. You're right but that applies to limited gambling games only. With sports betting yeah it is highly advisable to analyze first facts and stats before making a bet because that will really make a big difference instead of making random choices. For most games, the analyzation should be with the way you place your bets and the amount you place in. This is to make your chances better and to have a longer playing time with your capital |

I was exposed to slots at a very young age. I think i was around 11 then and as a kid, seeing the lights and sounds of a slot machine in a bar actually is very attractive so my friends and i spent our allowances playing though we really don't know how it works yet exactly. It stopped when the owner saw us and we weren't allowed to play with the slot machine anymore

I guess the first thing is that the site needs to be dependable and safe. It would be easy to have referrals this way as you don't really have to explain and just have your referrals look to the testimonials about people who've played there already
