901  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have inside info about a college b-ball game tomorrow... would YOU post it?! on: November 28, 2017, 04:11:14 AM
So over the years I have been betting college basketball almost exclusively.  I don’t mess with any other sports other than a random parlay when I want some action.

So with that, if 10+ years betting cbb daily, I have gained a lot of sources.

Well one person texted me about a game tomorrow and thag I should bet it because there are a lot of locker room problems. “Bet it and bet it huge” was the exact quote.  Locker room problems and tons of travel were the biggest problems.

I will be maxing out all my accounts

The dilemma I’m running into is whether I should share the wealth.

If you were in my shoes, would you post it?

Isn't the prize going to be shared by all the winners? Of course if most people follow suit and ypu all win wpuldn't your prize be a bit dmaller since you have other people to divide it with? For me i'd rather just keep it to myself. I'd just treat my friends with the loot.
902  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Relationships! on: November 28, 2017, 04:08:31 AM
Anyone who has ever been or are in a committed relationship or marriage where both people gamble? Or in a relationship with a gambler with a friend, best friend, family related etc...  Knowing you are in it together is weird comforting and gives me some sort of undefined explanation.

What does that look like for you? Your experience needs to be heard.

I actually know a few relationships wherein one is addicted to some sort of gambling and it was actually a mess in my experiences as there is constant arguments and episodes. HOWerver I also know some relationships who ovcadionally dablle together on playing
Having a relationship with an addict is a roller coaster, whether that person is a friend, a family member, your spouse or your child, you are going to get a lot of arguments about money and even about theft this is why there are so many addicted persons that are completely alone since their families could not take it anymore.


There isn't going to be a balance in a relationship like that or for most that is. It could work at the start probably because common interrst is shared therefore more time spent with each other. But is it really spent with each other? It's moe like a reason to spend more time in gambling. And imagine how they'll be if they have kids running around with both of them unable to control themselves in their addiction?
903  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: healthy discussion about DICE on: November 28, 2017, 03:40:58 AM
So its been 5 years that im playing this game
sometimes i lost everything
sometimes i manage to win but then burst it all again in some weeks
there is no strategy to beat the HOUSE
why the house always win?
if you try to test 1 satoshi with 50% change you still get more reds than wins. Why?
dont come with that bs "hur dur you are greedy" no!
i mean.. the game is provably fair why we cant win?
everyday i see the house winning 10+ btc just checking the high rollers
post your opinions





I'm thinking that if it's online dice, the results of the rolls can be manipulated in some way. That's why there will be times at the beginning where you'll have successive good rolls. The house plays you. Think about it, dice should be a game that gives you 50% chance for both winning or losing yet most people mainly leans on the losing side most of the time especially if playing for long amounts of time
904  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: return as soon as possible and win back your losses . on: November 28, 2017, 03:30:30 AM
You shouldn't try to win back what you lost it makes the situation worst, it's like a badluck for me. If you will play again, don't think of it, just think of winning this time. Also if you lost, don't return asap, you're still hot and the greediness is still in your head. Atleast wait for tomorrow to become cool.
I agree to this, coming back immediately in gambling after losing money is not a good idea, takes some time to think before coming back. Winning a jackpot prize is really not easy thing to do but as long as we dont have luck, we still dont win even if we try to come back immediately.

It's like drunk driving. Your thoughts aren't as focused on what you're about to do because of emotions flooding your mind. Very seldom that frustrated people make good decisions. The fact that you've already lost signals that its time to call it a day and pushing it too far would certainly cause more harm than good
905  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcoin Casino You've ACTUALLY WON? on: November 28, 2017, 03:27:23 AM
Someone post their experiences with casinos please, I'm a very hesitant when it comes to gambling yet alone ONLINE gambling but if I hear that some of these casinos actually pay out I might give it a try...

Payout? yes, of course, they do payout(online casinos) casinos are not scam site normally provided you choose wisely where to gamble.
I have been gambling on some online websites dice sites if you manage to win the amount they do let you cash out for sure. you can try luckygames.io they have a variety of coins to play with too.

Yeah i don't think you need to worry about payments here and withdrawals. The payments are secure and the withdrawal for most casino sites are i think faster than most exchanges. So don't worry about payments. If you're going to gamble online, might as well do it  in a bitcoin casino
906  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcoin casino's are the FUTURE! on: November 28, 2017, 03:24:26 AM
Hi everyone,

I just wanted to say that bitcoin casinos are so much better then normal one's, most of the bitcoin casinos have instant cashouts when you look at normal casinos it takes atleast 5 days to get the money to your bank account.

BITCOIN CASINOS ARE THE FUTURE!  Grin Grin Grin Grin
5 days sounds like a longtime to wait when such transactions need to be in real time but this also goes with the prefered choice of funding, AFAIK the likes of paypal, skill speed up the cashout process but all in all bitcoin is still better and faster, maybe you are right after all.

Those fiat payments processors like PayPal cannot be better than Bitcoin even though they command a greater number of international remittances but in terms of security, anonymity and quicker transactions Bitcoin is ahead of them and that's why I think Bitcoin Casinos are the future.

Right and i don't think we've seen the full.potential of gambling with bitcoins. All the positive aspevts could just be the surface of it. In the future, the transaction speed of depositing and withdrawing money from casino sites using blockchain may be addressed and will become a lot faster to almost instant. One can only imagine. The number of online gamblers can definitely spike up
907  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling PRO CON on: November 28, 2017, 03:13:17 AM
sometimes gambling make life easier just spend 1 hours in front of my pc and i can get money same like i work for a month, sometimes i lost what i earn in a month with just a few click.
how you avoid loosing in online casino, if you lost your money what will you do ? deposit more and try to recover last lose or cry at the corner of your bathtub and regreting thing you do.

And if you become addictive to gambling and try to stop what you do to distact you from gambling ( i really need advice for this one)

Ypu can't avoid losing. It's a part of gambling that will always be there and for some people, is even more likely to happen. All you can do usdo if you really can't help it would be to exercise self control and avoid excessiveness and dragging your emotions into it. Be wise. Gambling addiction can be controlled at it's early stages and you'll know when that is so it's up to you if you'll do something about it.
908  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If money would not be a problem, would you still gamble? on: November 28, 2017, 03:08:21 AM
If money wasnt a problem then i would be gamble but not for the profit but just for fun and enjoy the game, sometimes when i play for profit i tend to lose so much but when i play for fun i usually win.
Me too, when I play for profit I lose because I get stressed out and I lose focus. That's the reason of why I lose. I would still gamble if money would not be a problem as long as I have fun and win because you can't have fun if you lose. That's why I like to have fun while gambling.


It's not like those who gamble without much money are doing it for profit. A lot are simply going after the fun of it. And it'll likely be the same if they have more money to spend becauase the reason for gambling would be the same as before. That's how it is for me at least. It's never to make more.money but to enjoy and if ever i manage to have a lot to spare, i'd still gamble for fun
909  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Excuses on: November 27, 2017, 05:42:15 AM
Just for fun and get rid of feel bored. I also do not bet in large numbers, so when I get the loss I'm ready for it. And when I get the victory, it will be a bonus for me.

But you also can get rid of your boredness by other activities. Some people start gambling for fun but slowly addict to these games. So you should be careful in gambling.

It's their cboice though. Gambling is a good way to kill boredom, better than other hobbies. And since you're basically doing it correctly and seems you have good control over ypurself, then i think its fine to gamble if you're bored
910  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you set up limits for yourself? on: November 27, 2017, 05:39:20 AM
For a start we set limit in gambling but when we get lost  we probably get frustrated so the limit that we plan from the start will be gone. We want to play again to get back what we lose until nothing left.

Not everyone will be frustated when they lose, some people will be but remember that we are gambling so that means we are going to lose or atleast have a chance to lose. Sometimes when we dont think that we are going to lose, it gets us frustated when we actually lose. So the key is to be aware that nothing is actually going to last when we gamble

And that's exactly why people set up limits for themselves. It acts as your fallback so that you don't lose all your money in a single night. And keepog yourself true to that limit is also one of the hardest things a gambler would do especially if they're in the heat of the moment. There's something that draws gamblers into the game even through they want out so you have to be extremely careful not to break those limits
911  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can gambling help you with your life? on: November 27, 2017, 05:34:01 AM
Gambling is like any other hobby. It has advantages and disadvantages. I think gambling can help a lot in bringing some light into ones life. It help in making sure that you stay entertained and most important I think it helps to keep the mind young, its like solving puzzles. Because you are constantly counting and thinking of strategies of your next move.
It's a very challenging type of game because you will be tested on how strong your are to manage the risk, although we are just playing for entertainment but we cannot deny the fact that sometime we get greedy and choose to try our luck hoping we can win a good amount of money.
When we stay discipline we will enjoy and that would help our life in terms of having fun, but if we are careless it might ruin our lives.

Whatever the reason we have in gambling, it doesn't change the fact that it is risky and it should be avoided since it never helps un in our life. We are playing gambling because we thought that we could win but the real thing is that we are just going to lose against the house.

Perhaps that risk is what makes gambling a good way for people to learn about being responsoble about their money. Many people learned their lessons after big losses and then became wiser afterwards. Of course it will still be better if we don't have to lose money to  amd learn our lessons the hard way but sometimes and for some people it's necessary and gambling can be that slap in the face to wake people up
912  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Losing Streak Strategy on: November 27, 2017, 05:31:24 AM
Thia is a joke. You're basically saying that the results of a gambling game depends on your bets. If that's the case then you yourself should be able to maximize that already. You can go on days with losing streaks and you can go on days being lucky. I'm not sure if many people would bite into this
913  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Poker v Other casino games online on: November 27, 2017, 05:29:06 AM
I only play dice I really don't play poker simply because I could not understand it . Poker is very complicated game and I don't like those type of games I am much more on simplicity and dice sites give me that within just a couple of second I could already understand If I win or lose unlike other casino games very complicated
The Poker game is complicated but it is profitable game to cmpare Dice game. and this game you could not play if you don't have any knowldge about this game. The Dice game without having knowledge also you can play and it is easy to play. but making profit in dice game is difficult. i don't know how you may make profit in this game but i did not make any big profit. if you learn how to play poker game i am sure you like this game.

I agree that it is much harder to earn in dice games, but it isn't easy either to earn in poker. Main difference is, like you mentioned , that poker requires knowledge, while dice doesn't, so it is much easier to play dice games than poker, which requires lots of thinking. Both games are luck based though, so even if you played poker for years you can still lose if you're unlucky.

And poker used to be easier years ago. Nowadays the environment has changed. A big chunk of poker’s profit came from rakeback and that’s been cut virtually to zero. The average player nowadays knows a lot more about player than when I started, back in 2011, because there are many poker schools, poker forums etc. so even weak players are better than they were years ago (on average).

Poker has lost a lot of profitability and this has been discussed widely on twoplustwo forum. Of course, there are still people that make a lot of money and still quite a few that get an extra income but most of them are making way less than years ago.


My main intention to start this thread was to know whether the websites that provide poker services male more money or not . I agree with you when it comes to poker players , it's difficult now to win continuously because many poker players play very well and it's difficult to win tourneys.

Well poker sites do make more money. Bigger amounts go to poker rather than dice or any other gambling since poker attracts more experienced and mature gamblers. It's harder to win, that's a given with the vast talent of poker players but its fun and regular people play it anyway. Even if we say that there are more people playing online casino games and dice, i think poker sites attracts more profit for investors.
914  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: November 27, 2017, 05:23:37 AM
almost all the favorites win:

In Western Conference won:
Golden State (Curry + Thompson 51 points), Houston (Harden 37 points), San Antonio (6 players with at least 10 points),Portland (Lillard+McCollum 54 points)

In Eastern Conference won:
Boston(Irving+Horford 46 points) Toronto(7 players with at least 10 points!)  Philadelphia(Redick+Saric 50 points)

Disastrous Oklahoma losing, clearly, 97-81 against Dallas (last ranked in the western Conference)
Oklahoma if it does not improve its performance is likely to be out of playoffs


Excellent match for Dami Lillard. He and McCollum won against Wizzards.
Other teams are improving especially the Philadelphia Sixers but what we expect to improve more this season which is the Thunder is very inconsistent.
The Thunder who beat the Warriors at home are not showing their dominance on weaker teams, they need to be more consistent so they will have a shot to win in the playoffs, if ever they will reach there.

That's usually the problem with newly formed teams with more than 1 franchise player in it. I'm pretty sure that okc will enternthe playoffs but beyond that, they have to first jell as a cohesive unit. It's funny that even with mejo jumping up the career scoring ladder, he doesn't seem to be primed to win a title. Another carl malone in the making :p
915  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can maths help you win in gambling ? on: November 27, 2017, 05:18:37 AM
Mathematics is very useful in our everyday life. My teacher told us that if we want to get rich, we must first be financially intelligent. He also told us that if we are sad, all we can do is reach for a calculator and compute for the amount of money we might own in the future.

Math is helpful in gambling because you can learn about the probabilities and chances that is happening in gambling. Gambling is always a risk because there are gambles that the lose chances are higher than the chances of winning.
I like the example of your teacher. However, dreaming without commitment is not sufficient enough to reach your goal and be rich. For me, I do not need math to gamble and it does not help me to win. All I need and require is a logical mind and a mind of prediction.

It is a fact that math is logic, but my logic is different. I use logic based on common sense and other different things that allow me to predict and win without attempting to calculate. 




That's correct. Math is logic and the only time that applies to gambling is when you know that you have less chance of getting a good result especially if you play for an extended time. That's speaking for most gambling games though as it can also ve useful for a few games. If you're playing a luck based gamblig game, don't bither yourself by doing maths, just hope you're going to win

This isn't in any way make your first bets safe. Well it may help limit your losses since it works for some people but the moment you place that first bet, you're already treading an unsafe territory for your money. If i were you, i'm not going to set any expectations tonsaveyself from disappointment. Saying your first bets this way isn't really 100% foolproof

918  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019 Qualifiers on: November 26, 2017, 07:14:46 AM
Here are some of the odds for Sunday's roster of FIBA qualifiers:

European Qualifiers:
Croatia (+2) 🆚 Italy
Poland (+7.5) 🆚 Lithuania
Kosovo (+17) 🆚 Hungary
Slovenia (+13) 🆚 Spain
Croatia (+2) 🆚 Italy
Poland (+7.5) 🆚 Lithuania
Kosovo (+17) 🆚 Hungary
Slovenia (+13) 🆚 Spain

Asian Qualifiers:
China (+7.5) 🆚 South Korea
Hongkong (+38) 🆚 New Zealand
India (+7) 🆚 Syria
Jordan (+1.5) 🆚 Lebanon

Americas Qualifiers:
Panama (+15) 🆚 Argentina
Mexico (+18.5) 🆚 USA
Paraguay (+18.5) 🆚 Uruguay
Cuba (+13) 🆚 Puerto Rico

Nice selection, I think I'll try betting with Asian qualifiers Korea can dominate this game though China is also one of the strongest team inside Asia but Korea already proven their skills ml have small odd so maybe trying handicap will bring something. Let see and thanks nitro for sharing.

That +7.5 odds in china vs korea i think is too high. That probably will dwindle as the match closes in. Yeah chinese supremacy has dwindled from years back and korea has emerged to be at least in the top three asian countries, but china for me is still an asian powerhouse. It's going to be interesting to watch these top tier asian teams play each other this early.
919  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What did you buy for money won? on: November 26, 2017, 07:09:27 AM
I do many things for the money that i won like i treat my family and friends to go in the restaurants, to pay bills, to provide all of our needs, and to buy the things that i needed and wanted. But sometimes i ussually save my money for future purposes or emergency purposes only.
I think you will be tempted to gamble again and you will end up losing, we might save our winning but that is only for a temporary period of time as once we experience good winning moment we will be more aggressive because we want more. You will only be successful in terms of profit when you win a big amount of money and then you quit for good.
you shoukd never aim to get big profit if you do that you are being greedy and will get
addicted to gambling to fast you should always set lower profits and stop after you achieve
it like this you get satisfied and dont get addicted as well

You can't expect any profit from gambling because these games are designed to give you thrill not money. Many times you may lose all your bankroll before reaching that small target also so you shouldn't again deposit money to get back that lost money. If you start playing for profit then most likely you will get addict to these games soon or later.

Its normal to think about profit since gambling is about money. Yes thrill excitement, fun are the the things that we should mainly look at. But we can't deny the fact that if we win a big amount, there will always be something whispering at the back of our minds telling us to try and win more with the same process. I try tonspend my winnings on things that i need immediately even before i get the urge to gamble again
920  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should I try to win back my loss? on: November 26, 2017, 07:02:07 AM
In gambling theory, trying to win back after loses is desperately used by the gambling addict, because if you are in good thinking you can choose to escape and back if the negativity of your body were lost. Sometimes we can't win because there's a lot of negative vibes to our body due to stressed in our life. So I think it's better if we lost it first before playing.

Otherwise, if you feel that your not lucky in the games, I suggest to stopped and back on the next day. Because if you continue playing there's a possibility of instead of earning income, more loses you will gain.

Or think about the better things that you could've spent the money you lost on. If you're not yet that addicted to gambling, the i suggest that you reevaluate your decisions after a loss. Trying to win back your losses immediatelty is one of the most atupid thing you'll ever do. Look back and clear your mind.
