when i was into gambling what i did to my winning was save it for the next game again so that i will have more money to gamble and also when i win bigger i bought a new phone for my self as a remembrance .
If you save for your next game most probably you will lose that amount, secure some funds to reward yourself and if you are that serious with gambling I suggest you start with a decent bankroll and gamble in a specified time so you will be able to determine if you are profitable or not.
8602  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What did you buy for money won? on: October 18, 2017, 02:48:14 AM
I don't have the chance to spend the money that I win. Because at the first place I never win in gambling. Because when I feel that I'm winning, I keep on playing and hope to double my win. But in the end I always lost because of my greediness. But good for me that I play gambling occasionally.

I really do believe that being greedy will never bring any good to anybody. Just like what happened to you instead of stopping and just enjoy your winnings you just wasted it by gambling more. I can't believe you wasted your big chance of buying the things you like. I'm thankful I'm not in to gambling because I can't imagine losing my hard earned money.
That's a normal situation in gambling, there are times that we are greedy especially when we are winning because we still want more, let's just hope we will not do the same mistakes over and over again because that will lead us to being frustrated and we might loss control in gambling which is a big no as we already know the consequences when that will happen.
8603  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: October 18, 2017, 02:15:52 AM
Shit happen on Celtics, too bad Hayward got injured. This will change their season and sorry for Kyrie obviously Cavs will win their first game. Anyway, it's still early, there's a lot of time to recover from his injury. Much better it happen earlier rather than getting injured before or during playoffs.
That was a serious injury, I am watching the game now and I'm a little happy with my bet since I put my money in the cavaliers but at the same time I also feel sad because Hayward has this kind of injury, I hope he will be fine soon so we can see him play again.
8604  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To Gamble or To Invest? on: October 17, 2017, 01:25:51 PM
earn a little on each, investing and playing

You can earn more with investing and it's also possible that you can earn more with gambling. It's a matter of choice, if you think that you are belong to those gamblers that are earning great amount then choose gambling but if you think you are a wise investor and you can grow your money with such investments, go with investing. But if you have the gut feeling that you will be successful with both, go.
You are sure a gifted person if you are both good in gambling and investing, you have to master what you are doing in order to have the success and I think investing is easier to master compared to gambling since casinos will not allow they will lose money to their gamblers, they are in the business for profit so they will do everything to also achieve their goal.
8605  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: losing 50 bitcoins gambling on: October 17, 2017, 01:08:33 PM
If I'm not mistaken 1 bitcoin way back 2016 is $800 (correct me if I'm wrong at this). And by computing 50 bitcoins x $800 = $40,000 dang that's a lot of money thinking about the price was at that rate. It's even more hurtful if you'll trying to compare the price right now 50 bitcoins x $5,500 = $275,000 look at the difference that's totally a lot of money. I'll never do such a mistake just like this, felt sorry for niagwai.
If we only know what will happen in the future then we will not gamble that money will just hold it, the thing is at the time we gamble we only think of it's value in fiat that's why we allow it to be spent, but who would think of losing, it's just happen that we are unlucky at that time.
It's not actually on my range, I never spend that big number of bitcoin for gambling, I would even cry hard if I lose 1 btc in gambling.
8606  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do small investments make sense? on: October 17, 2017, 01:01:39 PM
Of course. It make sense especially for the newbies or beginners. Small investments give chance for beginners. Big things starts from small things so thus investment. We grow our investment because we start it from small. You will appreciate small investments when you reach high. You will see the difference.
Investments even in small amounts can give good profits if invested at the right place. There is a beginning of everything and it takes time to achieve great goals. All big businesses were small once.I would like to give a suggestion also. The best option for investing is bitcoins. Even if someone buys 0.001 BTCs, he will double his amount within days but do make investments.
Everyone who invested are looking for a great ROI but we have to be realistic with the amount of our investment so we will know how much we are going to earn in the event we are successful if we risk a certain amount. We want to invest but we do not have the expertise and experience yet then it's good to start will small investment then just increase your investment when you have proven you have a better chance of being profitable.
8607  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why Is Bitcoin Gambling Industry So Successful in the World? on: October 17, 2017, 04:14:45 AM
The gambling industry is very successful because its users are spread evenly mainly get positive attention from officials and influential people in big business, they are involved to invest or just play because gambling is entertaining and has a steadily growing user every day. Attracting people is very easy with the creation of various forms of attractive promotion so that users will not always think about the risks.
The players are probably blinded by the possibilities of the things that they have that are in front of them. It's amazing to see how much it has progressed and for sure there are a lot of people addicted to gambling and that's where the revenue of the gambling industry come from.
Forget about addiction, I am certain that majority of the gamblers are not addicted and the reason why bitcoin gambling industry is successful in the world is because it's easy and not demanding in terms of the amount of bet. There are a lot of good factor that are not present in fiat gambling, with bitcoin gambling you will not comply with KYC and that's a lot of convenient if you are a gambler since you don't tell your personal information, so you can protect it.
8608  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which Sport Do u Like to Bet? on: October 17, 2017, 03:36:54 AM
I am betting in Basketball most of the time, because I have a favorite team but sometimes I am just watching if I don't have enough money to bet.  Grin I am betting in boxing but not that often. Heheh.

Well i just lost a freakin bet a couple of hours ago with boxing. I think it's easier to make a prediction in fighting games like boxing and mma and i just went against my gut feel when i placed a bet on conor mcgregor.
Well, Maybe it is just not your lucky day, even if we know that we already bet in a strongest person/team we still don't have any assurance since there is always a possibility to lose. Even if I don't have any bet I still watch because I still enjoy their game.
Always evaluate your selection first before placing a bet, when one is a heavy favorites most likely it will not win because sometimes rig comes in and in the end it's all about the money. When I see a line that is too good to be true I usually think twice because most likely it's just a trap for the public to bet.
8609  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can gambling help you with your life? on: October 17, 2017, 03:09:07 AM
Hey! Good day i really need some answers because its about gambling in your life and other people are playing for it with heart and i just thought that how can gambling help you with your life? and do you gain something from it? does it help you to be wise or worst your attitude will change.. i need answers please!
I am against gambling, I do not play), they do not help in our life, they will only complicate life, and it's good if you leave and never start playing
That would likely to happen if you are not discipline in gambling, if we understand the risk there is only little chance that it will ruin our life.
Gambling is for entertainment so we have to spend to get the fun we are expecting, only when we change our goal and get greedy is we are going to face a possible financial problem in the future, so beware of that kind of risk.
8610  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Did you learn from your gambling mistakes? on: October 16, 2017, 11:59:08 AM
I learn lot because I always made mistakes in gambling, I had my worst loss in gambling so that gives me a big lesson to control my gambling activity and just always spend what is allocated for gambling. Also, I learn that there is no such thing as easy money in gambling, it maybe looked easy but it's hard in reality, you can tell that when you are gambling for a longer period of time.
8611  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to play gambling in a smart way? on: October 16, 2017, 11:20:48 AM
I guess the best way to play smart in gambling is set a limit on how much loss you can take and a goal on how much profit you can earn. Its the same thing with trading, your number 1 enemy in gambling is your emotion. Some gamblers don't know when enough is enough. Bringing someone with you when you play is a good idea to remind you if you reached your limit.

If we set limit, we dont have to worry about losing alot of money especially money that we shouldnt be using. Alot of people think that there is no use to set limit but for me it is very useful. By setting some limit, it means we are playing smartly already. We dont play to win but we play for fun and if we win then that is a good bonus for us

Setting a limit is like an automatic stop when we reach the threshold of coins that we can afford to lose or an amount that we target to gain. Having this setup alone is not enough though because you need to also add your will and discipline to really stop playing when you reach your target numbers - this way, you are playing smart, for fun, and straightforward. So it seems that there is really nothing to lose after all.
You have to control your emotion so you can be successful in following your limit, without a limit will only make you indiscipline because your game plan cannot be followed anymore and you are gambling without direction when your emotion is too high. We want to win but if we do not have a good method that is not going to be possible, maybe we can have fun by winning sometimes but we are looking for long term success.
8612  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: October 16, 2017, 09:36:41 AM
Because even if you lose you still find way to gamble after all. And when you win a little you totally happy and then you are inspired to do gambling again to try another luck on it.

Gambling has no difference on anything that is addictive, except for their effect.

So entertaining it in the first place is like giving it a chance to tie you to it. You have a point there that when we are "winning, we really feel happy". That's one reason, aside from that, there are other gambling addicts who are there not because they are enjoying it, but because they have no choice, and gambling is their bread and butter.
To consider gambling as our bread and butter needs us to be good enough because that means we are making a living in gambling.
It's addicting but as long as we have the discipline we will be able to succeed in gambling, this could be hard for the majority of gamblers but I know there are people who are born to be good in gambling, we should where is our place because if we force ourselves in believing that we are good and we can be rich in gambling even not proving it, that will only create a bigger problem.
8613  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is more risky. Sport or casino bets ? on: October 16, 2017, 09:09:30 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.
but in the popular league fixing match is very rare. I think it's easy to bet on sports bet just put the money on the great team who plays at home with 99% winning percentage, the risk is not very big as far as I often do on sports betting than casino.

There is no such thing as 99% winning rate, even if you bet on the best team in the league but upset is possible and their chance is not 1% for sure.
I have been betting in NBA and even if I bet on the heavy favorites but the odds is not that attractive so in the long run I will still lose if I will not take the handicap, this is a business so don't think odds maker are not smart enough in setting the line.
8614  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you know if a gambling site is scam or not? on: October 16, 2017, 07:49:22 AM
I have a simple way to find out if the gambling site is a scam or not. if the visitor or many players on there, then the site is safe and not scam. if the visitors or players a bit, then I can confirm if the site is a scam.
I guess to be safe you also consider how long the website is operating, if they are operating for many years and you don't read serious negative feedback like scam accusations then that is a very reputable website. When the business operates for a longer period of time that means they are serious with their business and they have survive a lot of challenges so they will protect their reputation.
8615  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does experience matter in gambling? on: October 16, 2017, 07:15:44 AM
Gambling is not a type of skill that the more you play, the better you are. It does not work like that. Professional gamblers still lose and the only thing that they have practiced over time is to discipline themself on either controlling their greed or other emotions.
Of course, therefore you have to set a limit and set a goal as well, when you have a goal and you did not achieve it in a specified time then that means you are not good in gambling. To minimize the loses, you have to be honest to yourself, accept your weaknesses and know your capacity because every bet you make will cost you money and how much more if you get addicted, that would bring a lot of risk to you.
8616  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you set up limits for yourself? on: October 15, 2017, 11:13:43 AM
Occasionally yes, I take limit myself to gambling. And usually, when i need a little money, then i'll go to gambling. After winning, i cashout everything.
I am not doing that anymore, it's easy to say we can win but in reality we lose more than we win and that is why a lot of people are losing more than they can afford to lose because they always think that they can make money without looking at the risk of losing. When we are one sided we do not easily accept our loses because all we see is the winning side but that kind of attitude is not good because it will only lead us to bankruptcy.

Regardless of the amount you have, it's always best to stay realistic and consider setting a limit so you will stay safe even when you lose.
8617  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why trading is better than gambling? on: October 15, 2017, 10:54:54 AM
Trading obviously will not have an adverse effect on life as it does with gambling that if we feel addicted, it's likely to have a devastating impact on everyday life I guess. Beside that Trading is a business and not a guessing or should depend on luck. And indeed Trading in my opinion is better than must doing a gamble that is more inclined to the ugliness seen by peoples in general.
If someone dreams about living a rich person's life, he must go for trading. It only needs one skill and that is communication skill.

A trader must be able to convince people for either buying his product or let him buy other's product. Other than this, he must have some patience. Gambling is just a game, it can give us some entertainment but obviously, we cannot earn money from it.
Trading is proven to be profitable if you have the skills, you decide on your future because your decision really matters.
Also, with trading you can improve your knowledge overtime so your chances of being profitable will also increase, as long as you stick with your dreams you will always look for ways that would contribute to improve your skills, in trading if we are consistent we can easily make money especially if we are day trading.
8618  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do you deal with loss? on: October 15, 2017, 09:50:20 AM
Am I too late into this trading stuff? I'm still learning about it thats I why can't say anthing regarding the losses xD
I'll post again when it happens!
No, your never too late, you can start today or tomorrow because the market is always here to stay.
Trading is a good way to make money but make sure you understand what you are doing, as a newbie you need to study the basics first and understand the entire market so you will be able to make a decision based on its movement. This forum will help you because you can read a lot useful ideas shared here and also the information about the crpto currency. You can start anytime with a small amount of money, it's better to start that way.
8619  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your reason to gamble? Fun or profit? on: October 15, 2017, 09:30:27 AM
I gambling for profit. But that happens i always lose. Despite winning, it's only a few days. And always end up with minus stats. Very maddening.

Loosing money with gambling is inevitable this happens to a lot of people including me, every time i gamble i win some and loose more so stop it, and now my purpose for gambling is just to have fun so i make no pressure on myself. People think when you gamble you make easy money but that is not true, that can be a cause to a bad habit.
People find pleasure in gambling, ssome play it for the sake of relief or king time. Every one has his own purpose of doing things but a person who tries to make money out of it is the one who is most opened to the destruction. So gambling is not a way of earning profits it can be any thing in the world but not an income source and I strongly advise everyone to not try this.
Although there is a chance to win and consider gambling as our source of income but let us forget that chances because it will only lure us to put more money and we will not notice we will become addicted. Gambling should only be a source of entertainment and not for money since it's impossible to win in the long run when you are betting against the house who has the edge.
8620  Economy / Economics / Re: If Bitcoin had a stable price, would it still be as popular? on: October 12, 2017, 07:48:57 AM
yes obviously of course, with bitcoin price stability then the possibility of the future bitcoin will be more popular and growing also forward
I am believing that price will become stable, the price movement is solely based on the supply and demand and when people are holding while transactions are growing then we will still gonna see the same status again and again. We investors are after of a price increase and we will be happy if the price will continue to rise, the same with trader because they want to find good opportunity to trade when the price moves regularly.
