I still believe that gambling is one of the major reason in the growing demand for bitcoin.
i disagree.
bitcoin gambling is big these days and has grown a lot as we can see from the number of casinos that are being created every month!
but people are still finding out about bitcoin and start using it as an investment first. it is all about the price

Quote

So, please choose two from these games which you think is best.

Edit: PLEASE VOTE AND NOT JUST COMMENT. 

voted for Dice games, and it is funny to see everyone else has voted for that too. no wonder everyone who wants to make a casino makes a dice site first Smiley
and the funny part is that , dice is not even a great game. with the house edge and how boring it is. but it sure is addictive.

i don't think that gambling is one of the major reason in bitcoin industry and i think not all people is attracting with bitcoin because of gambling as there are still many people which is not playing gambling in out side. i think people is attracted with bitcoin is because the price of bitcoin itself and they just thinking that maybe bitcoin is the right investment for them so finally they use bitcoin until now. but i am agree that gambling is take the portion to make bitcoin grow but not for all people. and if casino is your sign for making the major reason, then i am sure it will not be accepted because we don't know what people wants from bitcoin.
Gambling field on bitcoin is just really a part on bitcoins adoption on which you do have a point on saying that we dont know the reason behind on bitcoin interest among the people all over the world but still gambling activity by using bitcoin does really contribute to spread the awareness of bitcoin.

Major or Not still people do really love the convenience on using bitcoin on playing gambling online which is really an awesome thing. Dice and sportsbetting is on the top list I guess if we are basing on the popularity and the players do engage with it and we can already saw it on the poll results.

8523  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you Rich from Gambling? on: February 22, 2017, 02:16:44 PM
Sometimes i became rich when i win thrice in a row because of playing in a game. So therefore riching side that is part of luck and your destiny to become a rich person in the world.
Wining 3 times in row wont make you rich, but you can make some profit from it. I am not sure how can you sometimes become rich - you win million $ from time to time? Than you lost them and win again?
Imo only way you can be rich is if you hit very high jackpot or if you win lottery.


Virtually a person can be rich even with one win. as you said through winning lottery jackpot. And for winning 3 in a row if the person is betting all in with 250k dollars starting bet.  That will make him 1.8xm USD holder after the 3 all in win.  So this virtually prove that even with one or two win depending on the initial bet will make a person a millionaire.

Yes I agree a person can be rich when he won once from a source of jackpot winnings like as they have said from a lottery jackpot. Actually its the actual scenario of a person that became rich through gambling, but our real chances of winning was just 5% and the worst is its gambling and all that could happen is you always lose.
Hitting a lotto jackpot is on 5%? I don't think so because its very smaller than that and we all know chances on winning that jackpot would be one in a million which means you will need extreme luck in able to get the combinations and as mentioned people do hit this winnings will definitely got rich in an instant.
8524  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do small investments make sense? on: February 22, 2017, 12:36:35 PM
Gambling is always risky because in gambling we have only two choices either win or loose. So it is good to gamble with small investment,instead of loosing all money in gambling. Some time even with small amount of money we can make fortunes by winning jackpot who knows.

The first thing you should understand that gambling is not an investment, but it is just a game and needs to play when one is need of some entertainment. Most of the people use it wrongly to make quick bucks and end up losing a lot of money in it. But if one want to invest money in any casino bankrolls then small amounts also works, and over the time we can increase our investments.
Putting small amounts on casino or gambling bank rolls would be possible but not to expect huge returns since those are just small amounts to consider but still a good choice rather than investing it or using on scam investments. Small investments would eventually grow when you do know the ways on how to make it diversify regarding on that just amount.
8525  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Egad. 81,000 + Transactions Unconfirmed. Again. Ugh! on: February 22, 2017, 10:33:17 AM
The number of unconfirmed transactions reached 91k and is still growing. I never seen something like this, it's brutal.
But it happens every time when bitcoin price is soaring, the higher the price will be the higher number of unconfirmed transaction we will see.

So far this situation confirms one fact - Bitcoin is great store value asset, but mediocre payment system/currency.
I was able to see that one on which the unconfirmed transaction raises to 90k+ which is really high and anytime I saw this spam I eventually not making any transactions related on transferring bitcoins because I know even I will put high tx fee I would still need to wait for longer.How can this problem would be solved in longer runs.

Did you use a free VPN when playing on FJ? If you use a free VPN then the IP might be used by other person and you are suspected to have multi accounts. Indeed FJ should give you more proofs about which accounts is connected with yours, but to be honest I dont think that FJ will scam their players just for that small amount of coins.


This is what im supposed to say that  FJ wont ruin its reputation just for a small amount of money and regarding on the op situation he might used another ip when logging in his account and FJ found out that activity and since they do have strict implementing their rules this situation does really happen.
8527  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which sportsbook is the best? on: February 22, 2017, 06:49:28 AM
I have to agree with many others in this thread: directbet is the best....so many features,a lot of bets,very good odds and very reliable payout service...i am very impressed.

Directbet is good but theres other sports sites like nitrogen and sportsbet but regarding on the feature I think directbet does really have the edge and as you mentioned they have good odds and no hassled on withdrawing or depositing to the site.

If you are really into gambling movies then this is the most interesting list you will find: http://www.imdb.com/list/ls051320004/
It's 100 best gambling and poker movies - if your favorite gambling movie is not on that list, then it is either bad or totally unknown to wider audience.
Thanks for the link because it does shows the top gambling movies which aren't included on the options in the poll listed by op and you were right there are movies that are unknown on which people do watch it but sadly not included in the options. This link shows all. Thanks pal
8529  Economy / Gambling / Re: Betonline have removed their live dealer blackjack provider from incident record on: February 21, 2017, 02:30:29 PM
They just deserve such action from Betonline and regarding on that provider I think no one would able to get their services again and talking about the refund/giveback on those bets I think its just really fine since the cheating have been busted out and if im one of those players I will surely do the same thing.

Every time I decide out of greed to deposit some money and win a big prize I end up losing, only times that I win are the times when I'm desperate for money and have small amount in my wallet only then I feel I'm lucky not when I'm greedy.

Which means you really need to control yourself in gambling site, You know what there is dangerous in gambling if you/we continue on doing it. Becasue the number one that will affect into our lives is the family we had it now, second was the closest friends , and love ones and lastly that will affected is our own personal behavior.

well I don't think that it will be a positive result all the time when you gamble when you're in a desperate situation. sometimes, it would even make you lose whatever you have left instead of using that for more productive purposes. you would have to weigh which things are more important to you so that you can be more in control of yourself and your emotions when you're gambling
When playing gambling specially on desperate situation we should really need to control that emotion because such action will really lead you to more problems we all know that playing gambling do always lose its players which mean since from the start we should really be ready on the possible things that happen.
8531  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Giving up gambling is not easy on: February 19, 2017, 04:35:18 PM

There's no way to quit gambling by yourself and when you came up to the point that you are too much addicted in gambling. No matter how hard you are going to try you will end up failure. I did that before I thought I was strong enough but when my mind tells me to visit a casino and that's how it goes. A companion out of gambling is a big help.

There is a way which is to store your possesion in a safe place and make sure you cant reach it. It is no longer gambling if you are not wagering anything so when you have nothing to gamble then it will not make any sense for you to gamble. You dont need a companion for this because all you need is someone trusted to look after your possesion and make sure that you will have no access to that

Yes there's a way and I can think of if you are going to fully surrender your life to our God, He can help you out. Though I'm not pursuing you to be religious, there are people who manage to quit gambling by seeking help from God and I guess that is going to be an effective solution for quitting gambling alone.

Well gambling and religion are two things that doesnt get along and Im not really going to drag this conversation further as Im not really a 'religious' person however this is not really going to help you unless you have a decent faith and still the best method is to have nothing to gamble so you wont have any desire to play

I'm not also that type of religious guy but don't say that it is not really going to help you out. Whether your faith is strong or not but if you are willing, you can do it. I saw some of my friends that turned their ways back to God did really changed their lives and from a gambler they did manage to reduce their gambling activity.
We should still really pay attention on giving back our selves to God because it will surely give us guidance from Him but most important thing of all that we should really help first ourselves because those guidance would be useless if you dont help yourself first on quitting gambling.
God is always the priority, we shouldn't be so much affected with the earthly things around us. If we pray for things, and we ask it in the Name of the Lord, Jesus, it will be given. If you are guided also in your life by good friends that influence you to the right path, it would really benefit you.
Yes,In God theres nothing impossible as long you do seek for help and self acceptance on your mistakes and the willingness to quit gambling would really help you out and as you said guidance from good friends or family members will also fasten up the process.Just don't lose hope everything should be fine.
8532  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who is winning the Race - Bitcoin or Paypal? on: February 19, 2017, 04:14:59 PM
No questions asked Bitcoin is already the clear winner even though paypal is being used in the past regarding on paying online or doing gambling online because bitcoin wasn't been created yet but now when its available it really gives the convenience and anonymity on which most people do really love.
8533  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Giving up gambling is not easy on: February 19, 2017, 04:01:19 PM
Gambling is not easy there is house edge if you can't beat it then you'll always loose your money.
If you can't bet gambling then try to invest and wait for your deposit earn for you we have say that if you can defeat your enemy then join them and destroy them silently hahahaha just kidding house edge for 1% is a big chance of winning if you don't greed that much controling your self.
%1 house edge is good though and I agree its easy to beat up but only in a matter of short periods and we should know when to get out if we are on profits,greed will surely comeout that's why most gamblers do really bust up on the end. Giving up gambling isn't easy at all specially when you are already got hooked into it.

Math is such a simple thing and until now there are still people who believe in these scripts... Please don't waste time. Gambling = lose, simple as that.
Just want to say the same thing too why people still bothers to use scripts since these type of thing wont really work on longer runs and as I saw on the setting above mentioned about 1.02 payout well winning chance might be big but one lose all of those winnings will surely drain in an instant.

8536  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I dream of a day BTC will be boring! [POLL] on: February 17, 2017, 04:38:11 AM
Boring? Bitcoin will never be boring at whatever price it goes. If it goes down to $100, there is FUD and drama. If it goes up to $10,000, there will be "moon memes" and more drama. There is also always something going on. The search for Satoshi that gave us the Dorian Nakamoto and his free lunch humor. The scaling debate, more drama there. There is also Craig Wright! The list goes on and on.
Theres a lot of drama indeed and as you said bitcoin is never been boring because we do always follow its progress and speculations keep coming and we are excited to its adoption to progress even more which comes to a time on where most merchants do already accept bitcoin but theres a doubt if it would be like our local fiat usage then its just like on normal days but the thing wont disappear is the search for its creator. Cool

I just did experience on 20-21 lossing streaks and im using a very small base bet since my bankroll isnt big enough and before on playing martingale system im using calculations regarding on lossing streaks on how my bankroll would last if i suffer streaks and bust out my bank roll but still in the end even how big your bankroll house will definitely burn a hole in our pocket.

In my case i didnt experience to cashout out of those casino bonuses or any gambling site and you are right those roll over requirement is very high and its very insane somehow impossible to get and along the way anytime you got busted and would tend to deposit money because of that bonus which is the most common tactics of gambling site.
8539  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which gambling sites have 0% house edge? on: February 16, 2017, 04:43:04 PM
I think a new website named Blastabit.com is implementing 0% house edge multiplayer gamer. Not yet launched..

Hmmm. If its a PvP multiplayer game with a 0% house edge how exactly do they make money? I think there will be some service fee or something because it just doesn't make sense to make is free to play, use their servers and they get nothing out of it.
PvP with 0% house edge doesn't really generate any profits to the site owner maybe theres one which is the traffic been generated which make some cents but its really just a nonsense thing on giving out free service without making any profits.
8540  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be considered as a Sickness!! on: February 16, 2017, 03:57:03 PM
Gambling is a sickness for some gamblers but of course not for the all of them. Some people just enjoy the game and never lose to it all they have or even a significant amount for them. I personally know several gamblers, online and irl ones, who are gambling for years not becoming gambling addicts.

That's when gambling is considered sickness is when they are already enjoying it and they do it for several times and they are affected by gambling with their daily lives. But when they are winning and their standing is very good and the fun never stops. Good thing that there are people that can manage to be not sicked with gambling including me.  Cheesy
A lot of people went crazy because of gambling , they cannot afford to lose but the did it anyway.
Causing them in a lot of debt and desperate to continue their lives and even try to suicide.
That's pretty insane isn't it? The message here is to not gamble what you cannot actually afford to lose, or it is yeaaa become a sickness.

well i don't see gambling really as sickness from a personal point. i've been gambling for several years now and i can say that it has a positive effect on me as it relieves stress and puts me in an enjoyable mood. i think there's such a thing as healthy gambling where in you can be engaged in it without having to worry about becoming addicted. gambling has been around for as long as people learned how to communicate with each other and i think it becomes a sickness only if we do it with an unreasonable amount of time and money,
lol are you sure? nothing positive in gambling , there is only lost lost and lost which bad at all.
what are your stats now by the way? i mean so far you are in profit or what? what makes you thinking that gambling has positive effect to you?.
and yeaaa that's my point don't gamble if you cannot afford it. pretty simple.

I agree with you, I also think too many bad things caused by gambling. I think what we do is a waste of money. Even though you win the game, I'm pretty sure you do not add the money you have from the previous one. Because I'm sure the number that you can defeat more than victory . It has become the path of a gamble game.
It is always be the main problem of many player.
they know it has been waste their time and money but still  they keep repeating the same thing for long time.
It has been a sickness for those people who can not control their emotion to want an impossible winning in the long run.
I really don't know on whats on the minds on those people who are strongly believing that they would able to become rich on playing gambling and even there are already losing to much money they still tend to continue and I don't know that those people are dumb enough that they cant notice on whats happening to theirselves.
