I think that in the future there will be a lot of different kinds of gambling with different methods of payment and types of winnings. Technologies do not stand still and gambling is also developing.
Yes, every time that years past a lot of new technology are created and I think there are also new gambling games will be created so gambling will also have a lot of future because gambling is hard to lose because of the entertainment that can give it to us.
There were no future in gambling, if you are a gambler and you just want to earn income for gambling I think this is not good idea. Moreover, gambling is a game for fun not for earning profit, because if you used it for earning profit I think instead of profit you were gain loses. I believe that if we continue gambling our income there were loss our future together with the future of our family.
I know that we cannot make good profit in terms of gambling, I know that gambling is a game for fun and no for earning good profit, I know that already. The topic here is that, "the future of gambling". So, in my opinion gambling will still there and will not disappear if a lot of gamblers will still play, gambling will have a good future and some gamblers can make their own gambling houses or site.
That's the truth, nothing could ever stop gambling as long as there are people playing it. If you think that you could stop it, you can't. The future of gambling can be innovating on how people gamble like in the modern era, the internet has made gamblers comfortable by playing in their homes. I guess there would be something better in store for the future of it.

nothing, nothing to learn from gambling. only, gambling can make us more calm and brave in making decisions. but we cant do that in real life. gambling is just a game and life is a struggle.

There are lessons or maybe learnings that you can get in gambling. First is money can't be your bestfriend and it is the root of all evil. And that gambling is just a reality of how greedy men can be.
We all have our greed and we all have our wants. It's not that easy to stop yourself from thinking what you have learned in something that shouldn't be easily done. The reality that we have is that the choice to make of either doing the right thing or being tempted and playing again.
8563  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Giving up gambling is not easy on: October 16, 2017, 08:54:14 AM
I'm a hardcore gambler and it's really really hard to giving up on gambling. All advice and tips are not effect in my life, the only I can do right now is everytime I receive money from my job, I always give it to my mother. So I can't spend my money anymore and its work till now.
Hardest thing is to admit to your family that you have gambling problem, to do what you did you need big balls and I am glad that it is working for you.
Just curious, for how long are you doing this?
If giving the money to your mother is working, I think it's best to do that all the time. Knowing that you could just use the money to gamble again. I agree with you that it is hard to admit to everybody that you have a problem. Like for me, I don't like to say that I have a problem because I don't want them to know that I'm weak.
8564  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is more risky. Sport or casino bets ? on: October 16, 2017, 08:08:19 AM
Casino bets. The only thing what could make your sports bet go wrong if the fight was fixed and the winner was already determined and manipulated by syndicate before it happened just like boxing.
If you have connections on who would immediately win, then that could be an advantage for you and make the best bet that you have. As long as you bet safe with the acceptable losses that you have, then you would easily be emotionally okay if worst comes to worse.
8565  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why trading is better than gambling? on: October 16, 2017, 03:44:25 AM
trading gives us a greater chance of winning than gambling. Well, basically, most gambling games are pure luck. but, in trading, not all luck. as it is today, many are predicting bitcoin prices going up, and it's really happening. it's because the information is accurate, not by luck.

You know but still, people are showing interest towards the gambling when compared to trading. Many of friend are still gambling for short term profits, they are not understanding the potential of trading.
Probably they are just tired of learning new stuff that they think they know already. There are a lot of people that have already understood that sometimes it's better to trade than gamble but there are people who would prefer the easy route even though it's much riskier. If you compare the two, it would still be the same but it would depend on the person.
8566  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if POKEMON GO let people earn Bitcoin? on: October 16, 2017, 03:19:32 AM
If this happens, there would be a lot of people that would be sponsored to go everywhere, anywhere in the world to catch Pokemon, and especially the legendaries. I have seen posts that the first person to catch them all has already been sponsored or something. That's a great way to satisfy your needs in life, if you can have that then it would be fun because you are earning while you are at it.
8567  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Favorite type of gambling? on: October 16, 2017, 03:00:09 AM
i usually gamble using dice its super easy to use and easy to understand the house edge on it and sometimes i gamble on roulette they both fun and easy to use and both have low house edge and i do sometimes play poker where there are alot of strategies.

Yes, about using a little money then these games are best, because in this way, we also get fun and play gambling with a low house edge. But dice is famous game, i also like it like you. I play it when i feel bore and want different enjoyment, even my family's kids are also playing dice on online and get fun. 
I think there are games that could offer you the best entertainment but easiest to get angry and tempted to still play. If you have managed to do that then it's probably because of the challenges that you face. Dice is definitely the easiest to play and the enjoyment is rather exquisite knowing that you don't have to think about much just your decision whether it's high or low.
8568  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: how to start trading with a very small amount on: October 16, 2017, 02:53:39 AM
as i am a newbie.. i know nothing about trading... what should i do to start trading and multiply my btc.. guys please help me

it is very simple  to investing in trading. first you have to search about trading in internet next you getting one idea on that.later you have to take suggestions from your neighbors, colics and friends who can invested in already trading. then you get better idea on that. trading has best booming then you have to invest in that otherwise no need to invest.

I prefer that you should start by joining signature campaigns to earn coins and have capital for starting to trade. Always remember that the percentage of your starting capital will be your profit so the higher capital that you have then the bigger profit that your will gain.
That is always the case when you are thinking of trading or even just investing because if you have a lot more money than others, people tend to go to you for opportunities that you can only give. Having more money means more opportunities that you have to invest in and that's how much more you could multiply your money. In trading, there are different strategies, you have to know the right one for you.
8569  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Go to Land Based Casinos? on: October 16, 2017, 02:46:52 AM
Do you gamble at land based casinos?
Yes i experienced that twice but i think its not for me because i never win and my money lose for that. So i never go back again I'm not lucky for land base gamble.
Most people are not lucky in any casino so do not worry is not like they were cheating you, the house edge gives an advantage so great to the casino that you are almost guaranteed to lose no matter what you do, so if you liked the casino you can go there and try the games but only bet what you can afford to lose since your chances of winning are very small.

Here in my country gambling is illegal but still their are only sports betting bookies that too it is going in illegal way. Only their are two states where gambling and poker playing is legal but never tried it as did not want to risk my money.
even in such countries where bitcoin is not legal still they have some informal casinos, although the casinos are not as much developed but still they are providing some gambling game for the gambler to play, while in such countries where gambling is legal they have the opportunities to enjoy the best and modern casinos and play a lot of gambling games there. i personally visit casino for fun and enjoyment.
I think that gambling in a real casino in a country where that is illegal is a bad idea most of the time casinos like that are very shady places, full of all kind of people that you probably do not want around you, like drug dealers, prostitutes and the like, if you face a choice of going to a place like that or playing in an online casino with bitcoin, choose the online casino.

almost all country have their popular casino, but mostly that place is for elite persons and are too delicate for common people so it's our advantage when we got abe to play it online no hasse and still have chance to enjoy it in comfortable place.
In casinos, there are VIP rooms to separate the elite people from the ordinary people who are just gambling for fun but the elite, they are making it a habit. It's fun to gamble online just because of the comfortable feeling that you won't have to get out of your house like you can just wear what you want.

There are people who really prefer to go to casinos so they can more socialized with their friends and VIP people who really make Gambling their business, but since I don't have much time and money i still prefer to gamble online, it is more fun and comfortable.
Nothing beats gambling online when it comes to being comfortable, you can play whenever you want and at any time and at any place, but playing in real casinos still has its charm, you can see many people like you that are there to get some fun and in many cases you are going to be able to have really nice conversations with them and even establish a friendship there.
That's true that's what makes it more fun, just how you want it. You can have friends but of course, it's not facing to face but hey, who wants to be out there with people and smoke instead of just your comfy home sitting there and do anything you want right? It depends on the person you are whether you want to be an introvert or an extrovert, your choice.
8570  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you store your bitcoins? on: October 16, 2017, 02:17:58 AM
You must take security precautions! Hold your coins in multiple wallets its best solution. difference being paper wallets are free, which i like.

Multiple wallets increases the risk. Also, there are additional risk factors such as forgetting the passwords or losing the 2FA. And paper wallets are also not 100% risk free. When you take the printout of the wallet, there is a chance that the private key gets stored in the device. Someone can later retrieve the private key and then steal your coins.
Maybe he is talking about the part where he spread his coins around so that if one wallet gets compromised, he wouldn't lose it all. But I think the best way is to have a cold storage or maybe a hardware wallet. It has been reviewed as one of the things necessary to protect your bitcoins. I read that it is also possible getting the data from the printer or something.

Siguro kung meron man itatabi ko para sa pag aaral ako di ko gagamitin sa luho ko kung ano man. ngayon kasi iniisip ko yung pag aaral ko mula nawala mami ko kaya kung magkakaroon man ako ng 1 milyon itatabi ko lang banko para tutubo den diba
It's easy to say but very hard to do. Kasi once na nandyan na talaga yung first million mo, you get tempted or probably it's just me pero I haven't achieved that level yet but I will plan on it to even grow it more, to invest it in a way that I could earn. I don't want to let it stay in a bank because you wouldn't really earn that much there.
8572  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why people are sharing tips? on: October 16, 2017, 02:08:34 AM
I don't agree with the part that they are decreasing their profits, it's their bet and what's lowering their profits? Probably their own bet that they have and decided to lower it or something. If they are betting in a sportsbook and the tipster, it's the sportsbook who will lose money, not from the people. They are probably just trying to help and hoping that when they helped someone win big, they would receive a tip. It won't hurt anybody anyway.
8573  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you know if a gambling site is scam or not? on: October 16, 2017, 12:24:31 AM
Always check reviews of the gambling site on different sites. Also every site have probably fair system. You can verify each bet of yours through third party verifiers too.
You are right, As a gambler, first we should search about the gambling site and read the reviews about it. So after that you can know a lot of thing about this site and then you can decide if you want to play on it or no, but be careful when you choose a new sites, maybe they can scam you.
I think there are a lot of reputable sites that you could use and play in that are advertising here in bitcointalk. Like BitVest, there are a lot of games that are offered by the site and it has provably fair. The easiest way to check is the chat box, if there are a lot of players then the site is really good.
8574  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can gambling help you with your life? on: October 15, 2017, 04:00:14 PM
To me, gambling has only helped to learn how to save money and not expect easy profits. I consider them only as entertainment, but if I open my casino, then I can have a profit from them.
I don't understand how it can help you save money, maybe how to spend it in an instant. If you consider it as an entertainment, you would still lose money but you have limits on your own. If you manage to open a casino then it's definitely an income but considering that it's hard to maintain something like a casino, it would be hard to do.
8575  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does experience matter in gambling? on: October 15, 2017, 08:25:12 AM
I don't think experience matter when playing dice game because it is just base on luck and strategy. You just bet low or high and then win if you are lucky and lose if you are not. In sports betting, it needs an analysis and experience in this kind of betting is an advantage but in games base on luck, it doesn't need experience. You just need to have money management and limitation so that you can emerge in this game still composed and not be affected by your win or lose by gambling what you can afford to lose.
If it's a dice game, you just barely need the energy to exert effort into knowing strategies. Probably if you have learned something that could help you win consecutive times in a high multiplier chance, then it's worth doing and experiencing. I think for sports betting, I agree with you and you need to really know the game so you could appreciate it also.
8576  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: October 13, 2017, 03:03:57 PM
Gambling is addicitive because it is one of the easiest activity to pick up. It is suitable for all ages so even elderly can also play. You dont even need to understand how it works and you can even profit while being entertained.

Gambling is an easiest way to earn more money easily.But if you are doing it all time then it becomes an addiction.Gambling is also like a disorder it causes stress,anxiety,depression and bipolar depression.Gambling is not a problem if you can afford it otherwise you need to take care of your debts from your gamble.There are some strategies available to overcome gambling addiction you must know your limits of how much you can afford to lose.

Yea opinions are divided is it addiction or sickness. This is hard to answer both both are correct in some point. But dont be fulled that with gambling can make easy money, this is mainly from game or games you are playing. Each gambling game or even sport betting have some good and bad sided. Experience gambler explore weaknesses of these games to gain profit.


There is not a very big difference between sickness and addiction, actually they both are the same. Gambling addiction is a sickness. Thinking of earning from a game that can make us sick is foolish. It is not an income source and can never be one. As far as the weaknesses are concerned, then slots, dice and roulette cannot have any weakness. We cannot do anything about the randomness these games offer.
Gambling addiction is a disease. Once you're affected, you can't be easely healed. I believe the main reason that gets people to be addicted on gambling is greed. We all want to make easy money. Some people do not want to make any effort and they keep gambling and gambling hoping to make the amount they dream to have. A gambler should learn self control and avoid getting carried away.
It's probably a condition because it is a mental part not in physical injuries or something. It's definitely hard knowing that you cannot really stop it easily because it has been a habit for you. It continues to be effective in a way that you think about money/profit. That's your goal and acting on it would be dangerous according to your activities causing addiction.
8577  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: can gambling give you lessons in life? on: October 13, 2017, 09:50:07 AM
Definitely yes, it's either a good lesson or a bad one base on my experience i learned a good thing which i am using when I am gambling, don't greed too much and have fun. People might say you are addict on gambling but they can never tell unless they experience the same thing. Gambling thought me to become more responsible for every decision i made and not to greed when I am loosing.
it does really give us lesson especially when we lose anf got too much stress,we can realize what we missed and what we wated to do more, it is not about really the gsme in life we can see.

It is not gambling that gives us the lesson, but the regret that comes every time we come to the point that we busted every penny we have. It happens not just with gambling but almost all the activities where we can experience failure.
That's basically the experience that we feel, the guarantee of feeling the loss inside and makes you want to quit more but you still gamble. I think if you have experienced the most downfall in your life, you could prevent that. It's natural to fail, you shouldn't feel too bad but you should learn from your mistakes.
8578  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Excuses on: October 13, 2017, 09:44:25 AM
This is a very risky idea and it's my personal experience, so I was into gambling since a long time, and my friend asked me to place some bets for him using my money, at that time it was harmless bets so I allowed him to, then suddenly he played a huge bet with my funds as the guy who knew me, I had told him to let him play and then he lost, and he refused to pay up, I had to spend days and month after him but he refused to pay up, finally I asked my friends to recover the money and they did, I hate this idea, I have been in looses before, but I never take any one money or even land some one. Don't do it, you'll only add pressure on yourself
That's already a bad idea, lending someone your account/money to play for you. Thinking of that now makes me want to just cry if you lose and it's not even your fault. We are talking about gambling, most of the outcomes there produce losses and that's sad. If you think about recovering the money from him/her, good luck because something like that is hard to get back. You should handle your own money, not anybody else's.

8580  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to play gambling in a smart way? on: October 13, 2017, 09:30:25 AM
some strategy when i play gambling, Set a limit when you gambling, control your self and don't be greedy. also it matters on luck and heres no skills required.

In the end you will lose all that you've won. No matter how many times you formulate a strategy, it doesn't matter, you might feel that you are winning, but it is nothing.

You must be wise when betting. You must have control and knows how to limit your self, - All of it are effective, but as long as you are still betting, you can never say that you are smart nor wise. So to be smart, stop gambling.
I don't think that everything that you've won is you will lose unless you keep on playing then that's the time you can lose everything. I think that having a limit would help you stop further losses, especially when you win. You can be smart also with learning new strategies in gambling and it could really make yourself less affected when you lose.
