9161  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will China's ICO ban influence other countries to follow suit? on: September 15, 2017, 01:02:23 PM
Basically China has certain propaganda behind this. It is not that every country is going to blatantly join this bandwagon and ban ICOs. In a true sense cryptocurrencies cannot be banned. Also this has been said several times in the forum that bitcoin and other crypto are not controlled by any central organisation and hence there can be no regulation for it. If one country bans ICOs, they cannot stop their users from investing in them since they all have access to TOR adn I2P which they can use as well.

Nothing is wrong or right in this life. Right and wrong are just a perspective, but if you put it that way, it will be called "Misbehavior". To clarify, you did not know how to behave in order to get a good result. Gambling is tricky, once you enter its field, you became paralyzed. It is like fighting monsters in a huge jungle. If you know how to behave and be smart, gambling will be beneficial for you. You will earn much money. So, it is up to you to decide whether or not it is beneficial.

Yes, gambling can be useful if you use it wisely. If you flirt with them lightly, then they will just ruin you with every game. They really look like the world of the jungle and you need to have a good preparation for playing with them.

What are you saying? Flirting and stuff? Where are you two going with this.

Earn much money? Really? That's completely absurd. There is no such thing in gambling. Yeah you will win, that is not profits! It's called winnings. But it is not certain that you will win in gambling. This isn't a job where you work hard then your hard work will pay off kind of thing. Gambling is not a job or a business!

I think he was talking about dealers in casino - specially female dealers. If you flirt with them you are sure to go broke. While gambling one should not let eye-candy stuff to distract them. Because casinos often set them up for this reason itself, knowing some pervert gambler is surely going to lose money like that. Also its rude to misbehave with the dealers and you can get into trouble for doing so.

It feels so nice when I win in gambling and then I am tempted to gamble more of my money and in this process sometimes I loose my winnings and finally sometimes I go broke too. Sad

Everyone feels this way I think so you don't have to be sad bro! We lose our winnings because of greed we get excited when we win and we assume that if we gamble more we will still win but its the other way around.

When they win big jackpots people become greedy and the thing to satisfy their greed is right in front of them - gambling more and more. The losses are obviously going to come because it is gambling and more so if its a EV- game. In EV+ games though your skills are important but in EV- games its pure luck and if you dont have luck you are going to go broke. Luck has the bad habit of running out easily and so one must be careful when the win or lose in gambling.

Find a new hobby to replace gambling. Try working out, learning to code, video games or something like that. I wouldn't recommend gambling with play money, the best thing to do is do some new hobby whenever you feel the urge to gamble. Just keep it up and the urge will eventually go away.

Yes, this is the only option that will lead to success in order to quit gambling. If a person has another more interesting occupation, then gambling just will not be interesting to him.

Like they say that the empty mind is the devils workshop, if one keeps their mind busy with work that they are interested in doing they can eventually channel their passion to good things and prevent gambling addiction from destroying their lives. If they are willing to stop gambling then they should work on looking for other things they love to do or sometimes simply work hard and get a job to earn a living.

It is not easy to give up something you are used to.. so if you are addicted in gambling then for sure gambling is part of your daily life giving it up will be the hardest thing to do for you but if your reasons in giving it up is more important then you can do it you just need to motivate yourself in doing so.

It is tough but not impossible to control gambling addiction and slowly stop gambling. If one is willing to change their ways and lead a new life away from gambling then they surely can if they have the willpower. Not everyone has the determination so its tough for some people but not impossible. Try to understand that bad effects and the waste of time and money gambling has and you will soon start to regret your decisions. But it all depends on your own will.

Obviously the casino wants to make profits and not loss. People dont understand that gambling in the long run only leads to losses and the casino will be the winner in any EV- game. Even if you win a big amount once - praise your luck for that but the next turn may not be that lucky and you can easily lose a lot of money if you are not careful while playing. If you win big it does not mean that you will win big again.

Gambling becomes wrong when you will gamble using someone else money or you will steal because you are addicted in gambling already. But if your intention in gambling is for fun and you play moderately then I don't see anything wrong with that.

Gambling is wrong even if you gamble for fun when you gamble more than you can afford to lose. A lot of people like to gamble for fun but they dont know how to control. They not just hurt themselves, they also hurt those surrounding them.

If they can entertain themselves with gambling then they should be able to have fun with other methods as well. Gambling not only wastes time on some false beliefs but also wastes money which in most cases is earned by hard work and labor. It is upto the person playing to understand whether to gamble or not if they start to lose too much and it crosses the line between so called "fun" and "greed" - then they must control their playing habits.
9170  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: September 12, 2017, 07:58:10 AM

Most especially if you are already betting a big sum of money that you can't afford to lose. Much more if you are already using family long time savings and already selling some properties just to satisfy your gambling addiction.

Some people keep thinking that they can get more when they gamble with higher amount. They want to get bigger amount because they are not satisfied when they have won small amount. In the end they are going to lose everything. Some people are stupid to begin with so they risk the amount that they shouldnt be risking
As long as you did not make other people life difficult gambling isn't wrong ,
Also when gambling harm yourself that time it is considered as wrong i think ,
Every single person has their own opinion about this ,
I just think in general there is nothing really wrong.

Gambling is not really bad if done with moderation and pure intent to just having fun and entertainment. When it is no longer fun at all, better stop that particular gambling session already.

I think responsible gambling is better because a person is responsible for his actions - like we say "karma". If the person cannot control his emotions and becomes violent and psychopathic then there needs to be someone to moderate their actions before all hell breaks loose. There are people who are not so emotional and only play for fun and not money. Though its rare some people do play just to boast about their skills to others.

It has really an awesome feeling when we win in our gambling games. But despite of all our winnings we also need to save some of it and not just to buy something useless or bet all of it again it is good if you save some of it, or put it only in your bitcoin wallet so that it may increase if the value of bitcoin comes up.
Right, I feel awesome too whenever I win in gambling. I feel like I have grown smart and strong after winning especially if I have beaten those old folks whom I played with. When I was just starting in gambling, playing with old people makes me feel like I have to learn more so that one day I can beat them. Gambling does give a different kind of excitement especially if you are winning, it helps removing stress from polluted environments, toxic people and very stressful studies.

For me, playing online gambling gives a different vibe compared to playing face-to-face with other players. The excitement and the feeling of being challenged is lesser compared to playing visibly with the other players.
I agree, I also remember the first time I learn how to gamble, it is because of my Mom.  Grin
Funny right? My Mom is the one who teach us to play gambling and we learn how to gamble, but we make it just for fun, we bet little amount before. Funny isn't it?
What a modern mom you have who is teaching you about gambling! You must be having no restrictions at all at hoe about drinking, smoking, using weeds etc. such a cool family where mom is pushing children into fire just for fun! I hope soon she realizes what bad she is doing to her kids.

Bad upbringing can have a bad effect on the family. I think the influence of parents is one of the basic pillars on which the mind on the child is built and a bad influence therein can stay lifelong. I think the person must be joking or their family is to poor to even work hard for a living. There are people who are desperate for money and for that they often try to do things to procure money often by illegal means.

You need someone to motivates you to stop or an inspiration to fix yourself again.  Making a move is already the first step toward changing yourself to being normal again.

Your friend, your girlfriend, your family or a psychiatrist. These are the people that can help you to motivate and get through to quit gambling. Also there are people who are helping strangers in this type of cases, you can just search videos on youtube and find those people that are able to overcome and quit gambling.

The best person who can help you with anything is you yourself and your conscience. Listen to what it says and then try to question your decisions. If there is the feeling of guilt associated with it then it will appear on its own in your mind. Think of the consequences and the bad things that happen due to you gambling addiction and slowly you can decrease your addiction as well. If you are willing only then you can succeed.
9173  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to control greed on gambling? on: September 11, 2017, 04:31:45 PM
If you people ask me about controlling greed then I have not found anything working yet. I definitely can give a whole speech on this topic but I am not able to do so. It is very easy to say but controlling one temptation, which have a spic of addiction, is some cumbersome labor.
Still the case that not only gamblers but the entire human creatures are facing. We are made to be addict to anything that we like. Yet, it is not impossible to make yourself free from the greed of money that gambling displays at its first [age, but yes it is only you and your mind that can control it. Nothing will effect.

Believe me controlling an emotion is one of the toughest things to do and it has been done by very few people in this world and they have become men pf great repute - an example is Swami Vivekananda - google about him if you want to know more. Controlling vices is tough but is possible. Only depends on your willpower and your ability to separate yourself from your temptations - luxury and necessity - which ones you need and which ones you dont need.

The people who have lost huge amounts of money already by gambling understand that they need to stop but the gambling addiction is so much for them that they cannot stop themselves. Outside people can surely help them but they must help themselves. There are people who have been motivated and regret their own decisions that we often come across from our vices that need to be controlled.
9175  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you feel when win in gambling? on: September 11, 2017, 04:22:24 PM
The winning i achieved from gambling isn't always big, and vice versa. So, i feel nothing. Even when i'm losing, i am just get annoyed for a few minutes then enjoy time with other doing. Because, i gave limit to amount of money i risked when gambling.

Well for me, winning is still winning no matter how much you've won. So there's the same feeling when you see your bet made it. Of course  the elation would be aplified several notches if you win a huge jackpot.

It is true that everyone will be elated when they win big amounts but one must not forget in between this happiness there can come sadness and despair if you take the wrong decision under that phase of impulsiveness. There are people who often forget that there is actually more losses than wins and those who had been grinding the games for long may actually win a jackpot but the net result may be a bigger loss than the win.
9176  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you feel when win in gambling? on: September 10, 2017, 08:30:10 AM
When wining in gambling i feel that my decisions were right , but i also remember how much money i lost and that whatever amount i win wouldn't be close to cover my losses .

Well obviously the casino is the one making the bigger profit and the gamblers are only the set pieces whose money is being milked out slowly or quickly. It its the player who is to blame even if they win big or lose big. Ultimately if you dont stop playing the real winner is the casino and not the player. Because most people would gambler their profits just to make more profits. More and more profits never happen and losses increase.
9177  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Giving up gambling is not easy on: September 10, 2017, 08:26:50 AM
There is no need to give up gambling and if you can't afford your losses then you have to reduce your monthly budget or play with play money.

Everyone has its preferred activity and I can't see why it shouldn't be gambling, except you bet more than you can cope with.

If you are talking with playing with the faucet then you must understand that the faucet is there for people to try out the game and get used to them play before depositing money to play with. However in many cases we have faucet farmers who will be banned for abusing the faucet as well. In this case playing with the faucet has got no real value since the money even if you win a single bet is not so huge that you can withdraw it.
9178  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to control greed on gambling? on: September 10, 2017, 08:24:00 AM
if you are already addicted you will definitely be greedy. one to control it is by determining the maximum limit every day when we gambling. lest we cross the boundary so we can get out of control

Indeed mate.. learn to control yourself by also controlling your emotions and feelings. If you think you can do these things to yourself then you can control not to be greedy in gambling. Just limit yourself every time you have a gambling activity.

Those who are addicted gamblers cannot control their habits and thats why they are addicts. If they could control their play then they may have had a chance to stop the addiction slowly. Thus one must try to understand that the jackpots and big wins in gambling are only made to stimulate the potential addict in every human being, since we all dream of becoming millionaires and can willing to fall into our greed.

How to control greed on gambling OP asks. By not gambling? Lost 3 BTC once in bustabit even with what I thought it was a "infallible" strategy and never gambled again. If you want to gamble then It is better to gamble your money on the altcoin market.

It is very stupid of someone to believe everything they see on the internet. Scammers and fraudstars are everywhere trying to clandestinely steal your money. There are loads of junk and fake strategies based on dice games on youtube and these are all fake. People should be careful and use their common sense while dealing with such things. Just question yourself? - is it too good to be true? However it is common for new people on the net to spread such fake stuff and fall prey of scammers.
9180  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Giving up gambling is not easy on: September 09, 2017, 08:44:05 AM

It would be a man's will and willpower. And then to refuse gambling will be easy. Although why completely abandon? It is better to minimize the time that you spend for gambling

I disagree. It your intention is to really quit gambling, Just quit. Period. No reason to just minimized your habits. I don't believed in it. I have seen a lot of gamblers making excuses like this, saying that they are not gambling as they used to be. But still there are gambling and losing money. If you really want to exit, then it is much better to do and enjoy your life with other outlet. Keep yourself busy with other hobbies, like sports and the best method is to really have time with your family to completely forget about gambling.

Most addictions are got rid of by tapering off the addicting object. This is to reduce the withdrawal symptoms that arise due to sudden stoppage of thing that the body is so attached to. This has both a physiological and psychological importance. It is the same with drug addiction as well. Gambling becomes so much rooted to person's life that they cannot stop themselves and hence the tapering schedule is modified according to response from the addict. This is how professionally gamblers are helped to cope with their addiction and eventually stop it.
