I'm not an expert in gambling. One more, what are the bases to say that these gambler is an expert or not??

Hmmmmm maybe one basis of being an expert in gambling is how much they gamble? Or how lucky they are to win in every gambling game they do. If that are the bases then I'm not an expert. Cheesy.

The ejection of Gobert is a blessing in disguise for them. I didnt expect that the Rockets will play like this where there are all healthy. Favors had a double double and showed that he is a good center too. The loss of their 2 defenders is their loss. If they sticked to their roster last year and didnt made some trades then there is a chance that this will not happen to them.

They are a disappointment and many are feeling it. Rockets are not playing like they did last year.
8443  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you feel when win in gambling? on: December 06, 2018, 03:09:47 PM
Combination of happiness and greed and you can't avoid it especially if you can't control yourself. If you win consecutive times in gambling, getting greedy will become easier and at the same time, you will be happy since you are winning in gambling.

Gambling is fun if you see gambling as a way to have fun only.
8444  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you gamble or think it's a waste of money and time? on: December 06, 2018, 03:06:38 PM
For me, I think there are two perspective with this.

First, if you will see gambling as a way to get money easily then maybe it will waste your money and time. If you lose your money, there is a tendency that you will seek for revenge and get another money again to retrieve what has been lost to you - money.

Second, if you will see gambling as a way to have fun only then I think its not a waste of time. Even though you lose your money, its ok for you since you enjoyed gambling and the stress has been removed thanks to gambling.
8445  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What causes a person to become intensely addicted to gambling? on: December 06, 2018, 02:58:51 PM
I think the reason why they are getting addicted to gambling is just because they want an instant money, they want an easy profit which is not possible. Beside, I think another reason is once they play gambling and lose they tend to play again to retrieve their loss then it'll become habit of them which can conclude that you became an addict.
Well, who doesn't want easy money Cheesy . If they will give you way to have easy money, will you refuse it?

These is the main problem why gamblers are getting addicted into gambling. They see gambling as a quick rich scheme which is wrong. Maybe a quick rich if you are very lucky enough to win consecutive times. Gamblers are getting addicted too because they are losing their money and they want to retrieve it. They can't afford what they lost.

Don't you feel like once the bitcoin price goes up, the main holders will be the banks and large financial institutions?
So whats your point now?? When the price spiked up, who do you think made it??

Bank owners and large financial institutions are considered whales and they can do whatever they want about crypto. What now if they are the main holders? Can we do anything to stop them to buy Bitcoin?? If you have way then share it to us.

LeBron James is on fire scored 42 points to lead the Lakers vs San Antonio for their 4th straight win. The Lakers team is unbelievable and undeniable! I can't wait to see them to against Warriors on Christmas!

By the way, Stephen Curry made 42 points against Cavalier. A great show for today I've watched.
Its obvious that the Lakers are good on their home with a record of 10-4 but they are not good at road. Lets see how they will be if they will be playing consecutive games on the road. Anyway, good job on the Lakers. Lakers need LeBron to fire up especially on scoring in order for them to win the game.

The highlight for me is how the Thunder erased their 20+ lead against Brooklyn to win on road 114-112. PG13 scored 47 pts and another triple double for Ninja Turtle (Westbrook).
8448  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Yes We Believe in BTC even as the Price Falls on: December 06, 2018, 02:47:43 PM
Its easy to say that but the reality is many investors are worried right now with the recent plunge of the price of Bitcoin. Those who bought at $20,000 who are patiently waiting for another spike are now crying with what happened right now.

Price manipulation is one reason of this. Spreading news on the internet, creating hard forks etc. These are their ways to manipulate the price of cryptocurrencies. Anyway, I believe that it will have a slow recovery but I'm a bit worried too.
8449  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Pre-Season on: December 02, 2018, 01:48:32 PM
I can't believe Spurs are 10-12, they are getting away from the 0.500 mark more and more every single match.

It is really starting to look worrisome, I know Pop is one of the best coaches in the league history but he is still inactive during all of this as far as we can see, they need to try something else or they will be out of the playoff race for the first time in 2 decades and it will be the first year Kawhi decided to left and there was turmoil in spurs, it would all look like Kawhi was right and spurs is not a good organization anymore if they just let it go.

On contrary they have to win a lot more this year to show people that Kawhi wasn't a big deal but apparently he was. Lakers on the other hand started the season horribly but they have been getting better and better with time, lets hope they will find some ways to rival western conference but from the looks of it western conference is filled with hype teams like blazers and clippers which will not be too good for too long and will start to lose some games eventually.
If you will see their roster, their are weaker compare to the roster where TP9, Duncan abd Ginobili and Kawhi is still playing. Only DeRozan is their all star player, most of them are average players and Aldridge and Gay are on their prime seasons already. Thats the reason why they are struggling right now. They can't cope up with other teams. Pop is a good coach but the players need more experience.
8450  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you promote Bitcoin? on: December 02, 2018, 01:19:14 PM
I personally dont promote it. Im just sharing relevant information regarding Bitcoin in my social media accounts.

I dont want to explain everything about bitcoin because it is very hard to understand to average and close minded persons. I dont like to promote it too since I dont know how to promote it properly.
8451  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Is Dumping, What can we do ? on: December 02, 2018, 12:51:53 PM
The dumping of Bitcoin is now over and the lowest that it reach is at around $3000. Now its in the recovery phase already. I think the best thing to do at this moment is to accumulate more Bitcoin. Many are believing that it will recover but not this year.
8452  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Our future with Crypto on: December 02, 2018, 12:20:18 PM
I will be more comfortable when I have the control of my money. To be honest, I dont support the current financial system which the banking system that is why I dont put my money on banks.

Although I dont support banks, lets face the fact that most peoplr are using banks now to invest their money. Whenever we do transaction, banks are used. Banks are being used for daily transactions. What we need now is mass adoption of cryptocurrency.
8453  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will BTC and the Alts be easier to manipulate now on: November 28, 2018, 07:49:58 AM
With the current market cap of cryptocurrency, I can say that it is easy to manipulate and it always is. One news coming from a popular website can make a huge effect with the price of crypto.

Its easier for the whales to manipulate the price of crypto now that the whole market cap is low. Adoption will be the only solution to at least lessen manipulation.
8454  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how long you can stay without gambling? on: November 28, 2018, 07:35:54 AM
As long I have the money to be played on. After it ends, I usually doesn't like to regret and keep depositing until I have no funds in my wallet. So, the answer is i couldn't stay without gambling. Gambling is a whole new lifestyle for me. <3
Well, we can't judge you if that is your lifestyle. I think this is a sign that you are addicted to gambling already because you always want to gamble your money. Its good that you don't feel any regret if you lose your money.

A piece of advise, maybe try to lessen your money you use to gamble because there will be a time that you will regret putting large amount of money into it.
8455  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Pre-Season on: November 28, 2018, 07:29:48 AM
The Nuggets just crushed the Lakers 117-85. Lebron scored just 14 pts and Kuzma scored 21. 6 players from Nuggets have double figure in points. Now the Cavs-turn-Lakers fans are now crying because their team lost again.

Good win for the Raptors on the road against the Grizzlies 122-114. They are down 12 on the first half but they come out strong on the second half draining their threes that helped them to gain their 17th win. 6 players are in double figures too.
8456  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I'm loosing. What to do? on: November 27, 2018, 01:30:15 PM
What to do now when things get worse every day, only hold will help us? Who is trying to survive in such a market? Your advice, friends!
If you can sell your coins in a loss then do it. If you can't hold your coins anymore then sell it. Most if not all of us are in a loss right now because of the massive drop of Bitcoin and there is nobody we can do aside from holding it. Aside from holding, I think one way to make profit is by accumulating more coins and wait for it to rise up.
8457  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Prices are Being Manipulated... on: November 27, 2018, 01:27:10 PM
Price manipulation can be done with Bitcoin since it is a decentralized currency. I can manipulate the price of Bitcoin if I have many money. I can join those manipulators to manipulate the price of it and nobody can stop us. I think what we must do in order to lessen or remove price manipulation is to spread the word to others. The small market cap of the cryptocurrency in general makes the market easy to manipulate its price.
8458  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The consequences of gambling on: November 27, 2018, 01:23:30 PM
There are also positive things that come from gambling.  It can be a great stress reliever for some people, you may lose a small amount of money but it's no different than paying for entertainment such as a concert or a movie.  Also it can actually improve your social life and you may meet a lot of new friends from gambling.
These will only happen to those people who see gambling as a different perspective. The problem is most gamblers spend most of their money in gambling. Yeah maybe they see gambling as a stress reliever but they are getting addicted into it that they can't stop gambling if they lose their money. For me, gambling is just for fun and if I lose my money, no hard feelings for me. Social Life?? Yeah maybe it can be especially on online gambling where you can meet more people online.
8459  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how long you can stay without gambling? on: November 27, 2018, 01:16:24 PM
Gambling is my 1st priority. If my wife makes me choose whether I'll choose her or gamble, I would like to choose gamble.
I don't like to judge you with what you are doing right now but I think that is the worst decision a husband is done with his life. Choosing gambling over your wife for me is a bullshit move. Why do you marry a girl where at first place, you can't prioritize her.

Anyway, if that is your decision then we must respect it. Smiley Just a piece of advice, you will feel more regret if your wife will separate with you because of choosing gambling over her.
8460  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Pre-Season on: November 27, 2018, 01:09:55 PM
I am not gonna lie I was one of those people who said San Antonio Spurs will be better this year thanks to the trade but apparently I was wrong as well. Of course, we are still early in the season and there are still a lot of games to be played but they do not look better after the trade.

I believed they would be much better because they traded Kawhi who played only 9 games last year and got Derozan who is a star in return, considering a 9 game Kawhi wouldn't make a difference compared to a star that will play a lot of games I believed they will be much better this year.

However, Derozan is basically playing all by himself this year, Lamarcus is good one game and bad another and incredibly inconsistent, Rudy gay scores a lot one game and sucks another game, Dante Cunningham is not a starter caliber player at all and all the injuries they have really crippled them. They were suppose to be really good this year after they got rid of a locker room trouble but not doing as well as hoped.
I expected the reverse of what you expected. I know that the trade of Kawhi to DeRozan is not a good move for them. Now they are not on the top of the standings. Their current roster is weaker compare to the season where Kawhi is playing with Manu who is retired already and TP9 who is on the Hornets right now (biggest mistake for them I think).

If you will see their roster, only DeRozan is the all star player there. Yeah Aldridge is a good player and also Rudy Gay but as I said, they are weaker now. Now the Raptors with Kawhi are lot stronger now. They are excelling in defense right now and in offense, they put Siakam on the offense and he is the one who is scoring to the team along with Ibaka and other players.
