841  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If Bitcoin was made illegal by your government would you still use it? on: November 23, 2016, 05:53:31 AM
Until now, my government still banned bitcoin. I don't know when this happens will be end. If bitcoin approve, I sure make new opportunities.

In what country do you live? I think your government doesn't even know that you are in bitcoins. So you can just simply earn bitcoins while the government is not going to know it. Because Russia way back few months ago, they banned bitcoin after months again they removed the ban for the usage of bitcoin and now people who are using bitcoins there are now happily using bitcoin.

If the government ban something, there are two reasons, first, they know that the thing is illegal, second, they have no knowledge about it and thinks that it is also illegal. With regards to banning, I think I won't use anything that the government is going to prohibit as long as there is a good explanation to it. So if they are going to ban bitcoin, they better have a good explanation and I will lawfully obey.
Bitcoin is freedom is they are violating the freedom of the people if they will ban bitcoins. Some countries support bitcoin but some does not, so we are just lucky if we belong to a country that supports bitcoin. Lawmakers are doing their job so we have no choice if within our country it will be ban.
842  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: problems with bitcoin holder on: November 23, 2016, 05:46:44 AM
I think the main problem of the bitcoin holder or what we called investor is if.the value of bitcoin would not increasing instead the value would going down we can not earn money which is our main goal here in bitcoin
Not a problem at all. Maybe for panic sellers and newbies, that's a problem. Those people that seek for a quick way to earn money isn't for bitcoin holding. Most holders don't care if the price of bitcoin goes down a little. They're ready to hold bitcoin for a long time so only major dumps would bother them. They know that the small slip ups with the increase of bitcoin price is normal and will be overcome as time passes by.
Actually we can benefit from the panic sellers because they will be selling their bitcoins at a very cheap price, so believers like us will always take this an opportunity to buy and we will grab it directly. Panic sellers does not see a good future of bitcoin , they want some fast money.
843  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: There is no life in Gambling can you accept this....?? on: November 23, 2016, 05:37:20 AM
HI every one i loss everything in this gambling. Now i am empty hand and now i am realize there is no life in Gambling. Like this any body thinking please share here.
That's the nature of gambling bro. To get you high and pull you down HARD!! Well gambling is a game based on luck and experience, you just don't bet and hope to win, you have to think as well as feel what's going on. If you feel you're on the loosing streak, stop. It is not a good thing to go after a big prize so quickly. It is better to start focus on something that you can earn without losing all of it. Everything that you've lost, if you have just invested it, maybe its now growing. You bet big, you win big. You bet big, you lose big that is gambling, they look like close to winning but its best friend is losing. Learn from your mistakes  Smiley

It's purely based on luck, experience is not that much important specially if you are betting against the house, experience only matter if youare playing against other player. But anyway, that's gambling, we have nothing to do about it, we are not forced to play by the gambling site, we are the one who wants to feed our desire, so its our own fault, in the end, the only solution to it is don't gamble if you don't want to lose money. 
we can not really remove the reality that most gamblers really lose from time to time only few of them can make good profits simply because house has been build to take advantage with the greediness that has been built in inside our minds so for sure win or lose we will tend to give it a try hoping that we can win again if we are lucky before or regain our loses when we lose the first try and continuously it will build addiction that turned to wrecking our life because we are out of control.
Though we have experience loses in gambling but it's till not good to call it that there's no life in gambling. The thing is, we have to treat gambling as an entertainment and should not be part of our daily life, regardless what will happen in gambling it's just right not to be affected.
844  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: November 23, 2016, 05:32:52 AM
Gambling is addicting because money is involved with it. And it can give us more than we have if we win from it, but it is difficult to do. Many people gets addicted to gambling because they want to have more money. Their money is not enough for them or they are not contented with it. They think gambling will give what they want.
But Gambling is very risky, we can get what we want if we win, what if we don't win? Do you think gambling can still give what we wanted? I don't think so. It is really difficult to figure out what will happen next and we cannot predict what will be the result of our every game.
If you don't win then you lose your money, it must be understood by every gambler that you might win or lose, it's the only outcome in gambling. But this addicted gamblers will surely have more loses in the end. It's better to be addicted in games than in gambling as gambling addiction is too expensive that you might lose your life.
845  Economy / Economics / Re: Big Crash coming on: November 23, 2016, 05:23:52 AM
Just to let you guys know a big crash is coming in 2016 in the economy. There is going to be a huge financial crisis but it will be worse than 2009. The bitcoin price will skyrocket to over $10,000. However  bitcoin will be banned in all western countries. If you are reading this living in the west you should make preparations to move to Russia or China they are the only places you will be safe owning bitcoins. The crisis will be so big it will destroy entire countries and in 2017 there will be a civil war in the USA, UK and western Europe. After this the world will never be the same again it will change so much by 2020 it will be unrecognizable compared to today.

Year 2016 is about to end and so far we still have to wait for the fulfillment of all of these predictions. I know that many experts are already warning about this possibility of economic dislocation and possible collapse of the world economy but to put a date on those things can be so hard as events may not be happening as we foresee them. War is coming that can engulfed the world but may not be directly involving those countries you mentioned.

Anyway, I am still looking forward to the fruits of my Bitcoin-based investments and programs so I am thinking that soon we can still have a bright future. And I am hoping that this last prediction can really come true. Smiley
Yeah, 2016 is about to end and honestly it's the most wonderful year for me not only that the price have increase significantly but this year gives me a good opportunity to earn bitcoin. Hope, the success that bitcoin has been having now will continue in the coming years.

I think history is just repeating itself, if you are an earlier adopter of bitcoin the price did even reach $1,200 before the Mt. Gox incident. And I say that this is not just the only year that bitcoin became wonderful. We can expect more to come together with some crash but that is not that big that we are thinking.
What do you mean repeating? I have a feeling that this time will not be a failure of bitcoin anymore. It must be understood that earlier years was just experimental and we are here now to be stronger, and if you have notice the price, the increase was not that abrupt like what happen in the past.
846  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your gambling strategy on: November 23, 2016, 05:17:30 AM
Maximize your winning by increasing your bet size/moving up in stakes only when you are ahead and winning.

Minimize your losses by decreasing your bet size/moving down in stakes when you are losing.

Always stay within your bankroll.

Double up to catch up

Scared money don't make no money.
Doubling up your bankroll is a sign of desperation, you won't be able to win in gambling if you are not discipline enough. Gambling is a very dangerous game and since we are talking of strategy we have to set up a good bankroll first.
847  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can gambling be profitable in long term ? on: November 23, 2016, 01:58:11 AM
More than 3 years I was gambling, for get profitable maybe not, but I also not loss too more. For me, gambling just for fun only, because when I gambling can stop for stess. So, please don't think that gambling make prifitable especially for long term.
Pretty simple explanation, that's why you do not lose more because you treat gambling for fun. In gambling, there's a risk but we have to take it because it's the nature of the game, the more we want money in return, the more money we should put as our bankroll.

Now, the question is can it be profitable Of course, because it's not impossible but only limited for the choose ones.
even maybe an expert in gambling will say the same thing as him.

to suggest everybody to not treat gambling as a way to make profit. indeed maybe for some people who have addicted already making gamble for fun purpose are so hard , they forgot how to have fun in gambling.
That's how we suggest to people to stay in gambling but there are people who are ambitious enough to make money in gambling because maybe they are desperate enough to make money which I think is they want to be successful in a faster way.
848  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin be replaced by another cryptocurrency? on: November 23, 2016, 01:32:55 AM
Well, Nothing is impossible. Maybe one day Bitcoin would crash/drop and another cryptocurrency would take the lead(but that's not most likely to happen at the moment, as Bitcoin being The King Of The Hill and other cryptocurrencies are far by miles from it!)
Currently bitcoin looks perfect, but future day there will be can hack by hackers. If bitcoin still profitable, let us use it wisely.
We cannot prevent that, the least we can do is to be very careful with our information and upgrade our security of our wallet. Treat our bitcoin preciously as it's our investment and might give us a wonderful future.
849  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your gambling strategy on: November 23, 2016, 01:28:28 AM
I don't have a winning strategy because I don't play for fun but if you are trying too play to entertain yourself then put the smallest bets you can but which still gives to you the trill of the game that way you spend less but you still get your fun out of it.
i believe nobody have a winning strategy , i mean a really working strategy to win in gambling. especially if you gamble on a luck based games like slots machine , now can you imagine how a strategy affected slots outcome?

i guess it is almost impossible a strategy to make the luck based games outcome changed.
I do believe one has its winning strategy but we would not know his strategy as for sure he will not share it will us, smart gambler have that kind of thinking. If we do believe that no one will win because no strategy then we will not be playing again as we think we are cheated.
850  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your reason to gamble? Fun or profit? on: November 22, 2016, 01:25:40 PM
i do gamble for pure fun and there by earning some profit out of it and i am not sitting at home gambling all the time because i have real life duties and jobs and i do have some fun online through gambling

That's how gambling should be done, only few times a day and should not be put in priority each day above others. But anyway, we can't deny the fact that we are there to profit or win from gambling and not just to have fun. What keeps us coming back from gambling is not just the fun, since we encounter fun everywhere, except if you have no life outside the house. It's obvious that it is the win and profit.

Indeed mate.. this is a sample of gambling should be done. If we keep prioritizing our gambling over our daily duties then we would be ended up losing our money. Most gamblers do gamble for profit it's the way of their living.. for me I also do gamble just for a little bit of fun.
That could possible happen but unless you are a rich person you will enjoy gambling even if you spend most of your time with it. It's all about time management and if you are busy with your job you just have to play gambling occasionally and it would say that it's for fun only.
851  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling problem on: November 22, 2016, 01:16:21 PM
If you have a gambling problem, don't log into this forum. This is pointless

What's the connection? This is not a gambling forum but we have a section on it, actually when you log it it will help you as you can seek advise from people here.
852  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much time to 30 losses on a roll on: November 22, 2016, 01:13:20 PM
Losing 30 coinflips in a row is not 1 to a million,it is one to a much more bigger number.
Even if you will gamble your whole life, 24/7, and you will keep flipping the coin all over the day,I dont believe that you will ever hit the 30 losing streak or even hit the 25.

If it happend to you on a site,you are either the unluckiest person on earth,or the site is rigged.

2^10 is 1024, and lets us round it off to 1000. So 2^30 is about 1000^3 = roughly about 1billion. If you save that $1 for 1billion times, you can become one of the richest person in the world.
Everything can happen and we have our own luck, but to have 30 losing streak is like losing your whole amount of savings if you are really into it and you will not accept the defeat, unless you are just gambling a little satoshis.

I would only use martingale in sports betting if given a chance to use it because I feel to have more chance compared to dice.

No need to use martingale in sport betting. The odd is changes so it is not practical to give a much bigger bet just to cover your losses. Instead, you should focus on how to rise your chance of winning so that you can constantly win and have a flow of income.

You could still do martingale simply based on odds instead of looking for a team you want to bet on.

If you simply take a 1.4 odds bet size and seek out those regardless of who or what you are betting on, you can successfully run martingale in sportsbetting I guess. Maybe it will actually even make a profit because a long losing streak at 1.4 odds in sports betting is not very common.
Odds on sports are much less as compared to simple dice game, you see if both teams have same chances to win a match then the sportsbook will offer around 1.85 on each team which means around 15% house edge so I prefer dice for martingale and sports for parlays. Martingale works fine for me when I manually doing dices and parlays also always good to go with.
Depends on the gambling sites, but most popular gambling sites has a competitive odds like 1.90 or (-110) in american odds. But nevertheless we have an option to increase the odds so it's still lower compared to house edge in dice.
853  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your aim in gambling???? on: November 22, 2016, 01:08:11 PM
Well, personally i just gamble sometimes for fun and i haven't the intention to make real profit from gambling. Gambling should be treated as a play not really solid source of income

True, and people should not took it seriously when they are gambling as it should not be treated as a source of income because it is only supposed to be for entertainment and leisure. but it contradicts the reality because most people do not actually looking for fun or entertainment but they already treated it as a source of income.

Yup, most of the people, will play gambling for money, All players will play gambling to win there bet. I also play to win my bet, but if I lose my bet, i will take that easy. And I will not run behind the loss. Because I know if I run behind my loss I will lose more money. So my aim in gambling is just to have fun and enjoy the gambling games.

whatever the reason for gamble we always expect the money in it. but gambling for having fun indeed it better because sometimes I don't have the burden and determination to always win. any result will not make me sad, especially when always lose.
Some are just saying they gambling for fun but we should admit that it's fun if we win at the same time. But as a responsible gambler, it's not all about winning only, we have to ensure as well that we will be able to accept our loses and move on.
854  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcoin Gambling Investments on: November 22, 2016, 01:05:01 PM
Starting December 1 Crypto-Games is cutting investors shares from 80% down to 70%. However this may turn into a good news because they will be having more promotions and developments that invites more players.

Starting December 1 Betking will not accept investors for the meantime. Owner will use his own for the bankroll as he is observing how it goes. This is in relation to Betking's for sale status.   

I think it is good really good news. My biggest fear is that a site runs away with everyone's money. Now that the bankroll Is getting bigger, this fear increases. However if they are taking more of a cut I feel that this will decrease the chances of the big scam happening.
 

That's why don't invest in any new gambling sites but choose some well reputed sites from this forum then mostly your funds will be safer. Because these reputed sites knows how to make a better profits from the gambling business instead cheating investors. So you always should go with reputable sites for investment purpose.
It's like choosing a quality investment and those who operates already for a longer period of time will make effort to protect their reputation as that is the most important thing in the business, with a good reputation, money will be coming on a regular basis.
855  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to quit Gambling for good? on: November 22, 2016, 01:01:51 PM
First, strengthen your intention to stop gambling. Because the intent is the first and very important to stop gambling.
Then, do not ever visit the gambling sites, not even to visit if only to look around. Then, try to find a new activity,
find another hobby that can take your time.

That is the best thing to do quit gambling for good. You must look for some other things that can make your interest get. Just like getting into some group activities like mountain hiking, visiting the delicious restaurants and as well as having your very own hobby like fishing and playing basketball. This is risk free,healthy and will help you to save money.
By quitting gambling you consider it as part of your non productive activity, you must understand that it should be played for fun but you didn't therefore you get addicted and now suffer the consequences, it's a long process before you are in the situation but one thing is certain you cannot go back to the past and you need to fight you addiction.
856  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How many bets do you we need to do in sports betting a day? on: November 22, 2016, 12:51:51 PM
I think the bet in sports gambling that we can predict who the winner before the match starts. because we can see the profile statistics team will play. this is what makes me love sports gambling. but sometimes I like missed in predicting.
Not all the time, otherwise there's no challenge and since sports betting is gambling there's surely a trick with it and it will never be easy for us to win in the long run, due to our excitement we failed to analyze bet carefully and we failed to see the real value.
857  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to win gambling with no lose? on: November 22, 2016, 12:45:58 PM
You can't. It is impossible to win in gambling and be on the plus always with no losses. Gambling is not made so you can make money, it is made so the casinos or sites can earn money from you throwing it away on gambling. If you win once, do not think you can win again, you will just lose money trying to make more.

lmao. it seems like it is the real thing that happened, we think that the casinos/gambling sites are only having a benefits of from us betting our money on gambling but i'm sure that it isn't because i think while you are losing your money there are some people who gaining profit as they win. but you are right once they won from gambling it is not a good sign that they will win again at second time Grin
That's for sure because we are playing in a casino with no edge over them, it's important to understand that gambling is their main business and we are just visitors who are trying to win and enjoy at the same time but definitely in the end we still lose. However, if we enjoy our lose does not matter.
How to enjoy the losses ? If it is possible then there will not be any frustration for any gambler with their results in gambling.

I feel you are somewhat right as some gamblers after addictions just love all type of emotions but they simply want to stick with gambling and they never bother about profit or losses, they are simply facing/enjoying all of them.

That happens with a small percentage of the people getting into gambling, others surely won't enjoy when continuous loss happens on gambling. So to avoid or to gamble without loss is not possible but loss can be minimized based on the mind set and the limitations fixed ourselves before getting into gambling.
I'm pretty sure that most gamblers does not enjoy when they lose but only few are getting addicted with gambling, that's why sometimes they are looking for ways to beat gambling and even think of things like gambling with no lose, sounds weird, isn't it?
858  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To Gamble or To Invest? on: November 22, 2016, 12:37:47 PM
We always heard that it is very hard to win against the house due to the house edge and i truly believe in that. And in math, people already have calculated that gambling always give you negative expected values, so you tend to lose than to gain. That is why investment is a better choice for me.
But tell me one investment that has no risks ? I think there none investments as such.
Now you might say that investments have less risks while gambling have high risks, right ? Then gamble at low odds and it becomes an investment I think.

Yeah, there is no investment that doesn't have risk as most of them has risk and we don't have an assurance if we invest into bankroll casino's or other types of investments if we are going to get profit as usual. But of course if you are sick of letting your money burn and the house always win, then that's the right time to try something else such as investment.
The risk is given but when talking of investment you will have a chance to earn profit compared to just gambling alone where most gamblers has no success in the long run. For smart people, gambling and investing should have a different meaning.
859  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you Rich from Gambling? on: November 22, 2016, 12:34:54 PM
i've been making a good income from poker... but it's no exactly gambling(and i'm still not rich  Sad)

Anyway, to me gambling is a hobby not a work.
i'm sure you can find a few successful gamblers, but they are rare.
i do consider online poker as gambling , but then since you are doing it for the fun of it i do understand you. gambling is not meant to make you rich,it is just a time pass to kill some time off of the real stressful world
Even if you are doing it for fun as long as there's money involve you are still gambling,  it's the basic definition of it and once you are gambling it's just fun at the start but there's a big chance you will be attracted for the money and eventually you will be addicted with gambling.
860  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: If You Had 20Bitcoin To Trade With... on: November 22, 2016, 11:21:26 AM
What would be your ultimate strategy to trade safely with 20BTC, cashing in a minimum of 1BTC a day. Also what would be the altcoin of your choice to trade in?
there are many worthy new projects released in the past few months like ICN Antshare etc and if you could get hold of it at a low price you could earn a very good profit with those coins and i did manage to earn a good profit by investing some during ICOs and then earning a good profit when it hit the market and just keep on trading with those and you could double it within no time.
Many ICO currently run today and we need to research about their project and sometimes people join the ICO just want to get fast profit and when the ICO end and the coin launch many people who has buy the coin will sell fast the coin and the price will go down, buy after the coin launch sometimes is more profitable then buy the coin when ICO run, so we need good strategy and good choice
Exactly, because we consider that as an investment therefore we should be cautious on our investment, do not put money when you do not have the confidence on your investment, it's good to listen to others as they also have the idea but it's necessary to verify for yourself as you are making the final decision.
