I do not gamble to much but it always seems that when I do, I take the loss big time.  For example, I have lost over 3 BTC in the BustaBit game online.  It is fun and I like to play but I always get greedy with it.  I have won about 2.2 BTC back, but I lost more than what I have won.  For some odd reason, I keep coming back over and over.  I do not know why I do it, why do you?
The reason why you are coming back is because you want to recover your lost and you also want to earn more than the capital you use for that so you can benefit from the effort you did in gambling. This is the wring mind set of unfortunate gamblers.
That's true, you can recover what you lost maybe in gambling or probably you can also recover from the other stuff that got your money maybe in expenses like groceries, transportation, movies, and other stuff. Don't be like the addicted gambler that loses all their money in gambling.

If I should win a huge amount, I would use it to complete my Education & also upgrade my skills since these are areas I'm poor at. Gambling doesn't make you rich until you hit a Jackpot Cheesy

Even hitting a 'jackpot' wont make most break even and then they're even more addicted because they're chasing that big win again.
makes senses to walk away from gambling should you ever win enough. you have the right idea with education.

That's one of the things good to invest on, your education. That's definitely a thing that you can and keep and no one would ever get it from you. A jackpot could mean a lot and would mean to different people because of the money or bitcoin you could get with it. Just believe that you can.

Trading requires both skills and luck. Gambling only includes luck. I prefer trading because in it I can make some sound decision and if done properly there is high chances of profit. But not in the case of gambling. Both include risks. But still trading is less risky.
Yeah definitely your right trading is nuch more lessen risky than gambling just like now mg emoticon jusr wash away and i sell my BELA holdings and olay it in gambling but suddenly i lose it all in just a couple of minutes. It feel like a pain if you lose your money that you will get in trading a couole of time.
Definitely, if you lose in trading, it's not that a big loss, because you can manage a number of losses you can have if you waited for the exchange of coins and probably the things that you hold, will have value again. With gambling, it's easy to lose your money there, like an instant.

I'm not updated with Elon Musk's project but I know he is trying to b one of the most technological innovated people that we had hope for. He is like the Tony Stark in real life and we know that he is rich and he is trying to make the world a better place. It's not going to be easy but I know it's going to be worth it when it comes to that.

Day dreaming too much? Elon Musk is a fraud, and you will realize this eventually. He remains in the media spotlight by bribing the MSM. He gets business by paying commissions to corrupt politicians such as John McCain.
I'm not day dreaming, I'm just saying what I see it and how I see it. I don't know how he works or how he does his research but he definitely did something to improve the world, maybe he has skeletons in his closets but TESLA does innovations especially in technological advancements and he believes in the future.

It seems to me that the government of all countries United against alternative energy sources. This is because a very large income to the Treasury brings energy taxes. I guess the government doesn't know what to replace these revenues.
The leaders don't know the adverse effects of what we have now, especially the oil and mining community. If it isn't regulated the way it should be or following strict regulation and compliance to the rules, it should be stopped. It's not just that, it should be to help the environment, that's why it's so sad that the government wants those kinds still.
Why do you think that government leaders do not know about environmental problems? Do you think they are stupid? Believe me they know the issue better than you. Just as they are responsible for public finances. Yes they can save the environment, but it will have nothing to pay pension. How do you think they will choose?
I don't think that they are stupid, they just know that it happens but not why it happens. I do not generalize them all but there are politicians who makes science as not facts but theories. If you have seen others that do that, you will understand. Let's say you go with that option of yours, (paying pension instead of saving the planet)  happens to the place we live in? It will just be destroyed, and it's our fault because we didn't do much about it.
I think that the world will be saved by the fact that oil will end. I think that it will encourage politicians to look for new sources of funding for social programs. Personally I had hope for Elon musk, but in recent years, he departs from the projects using alternative energy sources.

Why do people keep on seeing the bad things that people have done? Why do we judge other people quickly sometimes?

Is it in human nature that's why it's happening or is it the upbringing of the individual that he or she has seen growing up?

What can be done to be better and not to judge other people just by basing on looks but looking deeper into his or her character?

Share your opinion about it.
It is not a good idea to quickly evaluate people through the outside but also to look at the nature within and many other factors, but the bed as the rapid evaluation of people through appearance is almost characteristic of everyone. Surely everyone has had such a time, only if they have adjusted and limited it or not.
It is not a good idea, God is the Judge of all, and we're not and shouldn't do that to everyone. Everyone has their own experiences on why he or she is like that, just be sure that you believe them and see them for who they are. If you pray, don't be afraid.
9547  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What would you do with your winnings? on: May 08, 2017, 11:40:24 PM
Depends on how much are the winnings really. I mean a large amount will probably be dealt with than a small amount. I most likely will either save them or continue playing a portion of the winnings for moderate amounts.

If we win big which is very rare to happen then it would be good to withdraw that amount and keep them safe in wallet which can be helpful to us when we are in desperate need of money as if we keep on using them in gambling then I am sure we will be loosing all our winnings in long run.
It is definitely rare to happen, we're just talking in a fictional moment or hoping to be true soon. How do you expect to win if you don't gamble anyway? We all are desperate for some money but not to an extent to be greedy. I don't have much but I feel I need more money, I just want to be stable first.

I just save my winnings in a different wallet as my savings for the future. From the beginning, I just kept this habit of saving all my winnings and through time it became a routine. I gamble a limited amount every month and I wont get greedy or let my emotions run over me.
That's a good way to deal with your winnings. If I may ask, how much have you saved or kept in your wallet, whether in cold storage or something, how much is it? I'm curious whether how much have you dealt with bitcoin because I have my own savings too and planning to invest it or something. To be honest, I get greedy too, I'm not perfect but I try to control myself.
9551  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: May 08, 2017, 10:37:05 PM
To have a good balance of money in your account you should invest your money as saving will never help you in growing your money so its good to invest majority of wealth in different investments and save some money for rainy days which can take care of our emergency situations.
That's one of the things you should always do, is to save enough for emergencies also because you'll never know what can happen. If you have health insurance, way better because you are covered with that. Do not just save, save to invest. Let your money flow in order to get the most out of it.
9552  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do any people gamble under the age of 18? on: May 08, 2017, 03:31:18 PM
It's so difficult to measure the age level in gambling site, i Don't have any knowledge that how can we define user age who is participating in gambling. If the authority assume that it could be harmful for the kids then they have to take proper action to identify that issue. I think now a days kids are bringing up very smart way so let it go.
In a bitcoin casino where no documents are asked to open an account or to make any withdrawals then the only way to know that is if someone volunteers that information by their own volition and it is very obvious that an underage person is not going to do in fear of being banned from the site.

Yes, because of these cryptocurrencies online gambling now many young people can easily access these online gambling sites. Earlier sites used to ask for proofs of age and other documents, so it was difficult, but still, people use to get some fake accounts to play. But now it has become very easy and almost impossible find out who is underage playing online casino games.

Actually there's no problem with this, I mean effects of gambling defeat will make our hormones go up and do a lot of negative actions to try to make money for capital and vent anger. But if we think again, online gambling players under 18 live with discipline of their parents so that things and bad effects will be automatically closed with respect in their family. Gambling sites can only make disclaimers age 18+ "yes and no" so that nothing can prevent them from gambling.

well that isn't the case all the time as most minors who gamble aren't really informing they're parents about this. I think the bad thing here is that most minors really don't earn their own money yet and will be using money for gambling that came from their parents. of course this will affect the relationship within the family
Who would in the right mind is going to tell them that they are gambling, knowing that they are still minors. That's why children try different kinds of stuff like physical games, outfits, movements of parents, etc, because they can see it and it's going to hard to fix because they formed it as a child. Observing what you do in your daily lives could help some people with those kinds of addiction or something.
9553  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to control greed on gambling? on: May 08, 2017, 03:26:39 PM
What's able your control to do, these only your brain or mindset. Just make a some goal or your propurse go to casino.  Cheesy

I don't know what to feel on what you just said but some part of it makes sense. It's all about us, as a person, whether we let the gambling or games control us, it's better to control ourselves in what we say and do in order to be the best that we can be to do a purpose for us, people. Setting goals and perseverance of not being greedy is a challenge.
9554  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What would you do with your winnings? on: May 08, 2017, 03:24:00 PM
With my winnings, I reinvest it in trading. For example, after playing and I won and I am already bored, i would trade it,. Buying valuable coins and let it sit,you may surprised that it may increased value.

Likewise, I'll do the same. I'm going to secure and will invest some of it with trading. And with the price increase of ETH I'm seeing that it's possible that coin will still have time to keep on increasing. While it is still not reaching the same peak with bitcoin, it will be a good decision to buy those promising coins.
Do you have any other coins that you believe will have higher prices? I see that ripple has a lot of volume and stellar, and I hoped that I bought when it was still low. Maybe time will come for me when it's time to invest in some low-cost high-risk investments or something close to that.
9555  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Trading vs Gambling on: May 08, 2017, 03:23:39 PM
Trading is much more nice becuase in gambling. You would see it and knew it because trading can make us millinaire unlike in gambling that the owner of the casino is just the one that would me a millionaire. So definitely trading is much better than gambling for me hehehehe
Same here, I have never gone to any gambling website as I have read many posts here on the forum that many users got addicted to gambling and gambled away all of the money they were having and now living a miserable life.
I do trading and also invest in altcoin ICO which is many a times profitable.
Exactly, when people like you exist then people like scammers with an ICO every week can freely operate and get away with people's money.
Can't you see the same campaign managers and the same team only with different names and accounts with the same shills army are always
involved in these ICOs?
At least when you gamble you have a chance to win but when you send your money to ICO it's gone for good.
You are not taking anything in return when you gamble, in fact you are betting on the exact amount or wagering for more as you increase the odds.
Unlike trading you are giving BTC and taking an altcoin with the current market price equivalent in hopes of selling with higher price later.
I like gambling more than trading.
I don't think that Watershin is trying to say that ICO's are scams. Sure there are ICO's that are up for your money but that's not always the case. There are a lot of possibilities that you could earn from ICO's, whether it would be a great opportunity or not, as long as you believe in yourself and try to understand and research on what you are investing in and that's great.
9556  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What would you do with your winnings? on: May 08, 2017, 03:16:17 PM
I think if the big winnings I will keep in half and the other half I will spend on trading and if the winning amount is small, maybe I will have 2 options is to use that money to buy something or use it in the cost of living. I never used the money I won to continue to gamble because I knew I would not be lucky again, howerver all I say is just in my imagination. In fact I often gamble in the hope of winning big money and recovering the loss but all I get is the increasing loss.
Hmm, determining if you really would put more bitcoins / money to trading rather than the cost of living. I'm just curious, maybe you have lower cost of living and depositing a larger amount in trading could lead to more profits, and that's good. It's definitely hard to win a jackpot in some casinos, it's going to be always one in a million probably. I hope that people would get a chance to learn how to properly budget.
9557  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: why people use dice bot? on: May 08, 2017, 03:12:50 PM
I haven't use any bot in any dice site but the only reason I think is maybe those dicers are very busy. And even they don't have time to dice they don't wanted to be missing in action, so as a solution for that situation they are using just for continuous dicing.
No, I do not think so, so many people use dice while they are not busy because they have some reasons to do it. The first is that using dicebot can limit losses, because when they gamble, they can easily become greedy and burn their accounts. The second is that some people want to test their strategies in the dice and increase their chances of winning, people often say that they write the script (I do not understand what it means). Busy is not the reason because they are playing with their money, they will not lose their money because busy

It can limit lose but still it cannot avoid lose. And as you mentioned with strategies, in dice? Hmm.. I don't think there are even a lot of strategies through dice games we know what are the most popular strategy and I don't think that there are some strategies that you can use when you dice.
Losing could mean a lot of things, whether you put in the wrong / use the wrong strategy leading to losing and using dice bots could lead you to better chances of winning because of the bot like powers of it, like stopping literally when you achieved your goal, unlike the part when you still be greedy and using the auto bet and forgetting to stop and losing all your bankroll, something like that.
9558  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If money would not be a problem, would you still gamble? on: May 08, 2017, 02:48:16 PM
I am just wondering if you still would gamble if you would have enough money? I mean, now as it is, do you gamble for the fun or for the profit?
According to me If I Have Enough Money then I Don't Waste My Money doing Gambling Because the Winnings in Gambling Depends Upon your Luck and I also it's a Illegal Activity So I Don't Prefer to do Gambling Even If I Have Enough Money to do this.
And If I Do Gambling then I Will Do it For Fun Only and not for the Motive Of Making Money.
Also I Prefer to Invest the Money I Have in My Business Or in Trading Because It's Not a Game Of Luck and it's Not Illegal Activity.
That's a good way of viewing it, it would definitely be better if you use your money in ways that would be appreciated and better yet, help people in some ways. It's fun to gamble but not too much. For the sake of discussion, I would gamble but only for a little. I can control my wins and losses because in the long run you are definitely going to lose.
9559  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Where would society be without the internet? on: May 08, 2017, 02:46:13 PM
A lot of things would definitely be hard, regarding research. It's going to be real hard work like the old times like going to the libraries where it's live action, or probably manual copying of files. Computers would still exist but the innovation or the time it takes to upgrade something would take even longer, that's for sure.
9560  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Impact of drinking alcohol. on: May 08, 2017, 02:39:04 PM
Certainly is a drunk and uncontrolled mind, I never recommend alcohol consumption because it can ruin lives and our health. use the time for a good thing.

Quitting alcohol completely is stupid. In small doses, it can be useful. You just need to know the measure and choose high-quality alcohol. Life after all, one can sometimes be a bit relaxed.

It's not stupid in all instances. When I drink, I think shooting heroin is a good idea. The risks of drinking far outweigh the benefits for me.
A lot of things can be affected by drinking alcohol. it could lead to different things like marijuana, then hardcore drugs, something like that. It's not healthy for people and it would never be, especially if it's too much. It's best to stay away from it and just enjoy life without it, you'll have more fun that way.
