To those people who bet on Trump I think they are partying right now lol

Yup, that is right who bet on him get rewarded with big amount in return but Americans are protesting against this winning, still people are in great shock even my bet is also won but that is the biggest upset in the modern history of human, I think that is beginning of big disaster.

Yeah I watched on news, there are certain states that there is massive protests, they ca not accept Trump as a Presidential winner. Oh BTW maybe the lost big amount, as possible they also bet on Clinton.  Grin
Yeah a lot of people relied on the results of pre election polls which shows that clinton is safely ahead of trump. I can only imagine how they felt as the votes are being counted.
9582  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you use analysis when play gambling? on: November 11, 2016, 04:35:17 PM
Depends on what type of gambling im engaging. I've tried dice and honestly, no amount of analysis would benefit me since it mainly relies on luck. Sometimes when i bet on sports, then i analyze a few factors. So it really depends if the game needs analysis or not.
9583  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your reason to gamble? Fun or profit? on: November 11, 2016, 04:28:12 PM
iam gambling is fun
profit or not iam still very fun
Hahaha even you always lose atleast you enjoyed the game is that what you meant? That's nice you are sports when it comes in gambling , gambling isn't just for fun only even you always loosing too much money gambling is appreciating your efforts to win Smiley
Yeah it not really about the results in the first place. If you enjoy gambling because of how it makes you feel then good for you as winning would only come as a bonus.
9584  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is their any safe methods to gamble? on: November 11, 2016, 04:23:26 PM
There is strategies to increase your winning/profit chance, but there's no such a thing as "safe gamble".
higher risk will lower the chance of making a profit.

This is right there are some strategies which can increase our winning chance. But that is pretty hard to say we can generate steady income for our life with the help of gambling. That is why I'm with you about this comment.
Well i think most of us are in agreement as really there is no safe way when it comes to games based on chance. We can only manage our losses by playing smartly and responsibly
9585  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how much amount of bet you prefer? on: November 11, 2016, 04:19:35 PM
I never used to bet more than BTC0.01, because I think that's the max amount I can afford to lose per bet.
Whether I win or not, but I will not go for bets higher than that amount and will try to recover my losses with future bets but not too often.

Playing with fixed amount is good strategy when we know how much we can afford to lose, but we can increase the odds to give try to get recover even that is little bit risky, some times taking risk is nice option and it will be fun there.
Well at the start you can just bring with you a fixed amount and you have to be strict to stay within that. If you win with the amount you initially started with, then you can continue to bet higher that way you are still within your fixed capacity. If you lose, then that would be a good time to stop
9586  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can gambling be profitable in long term ? on: November 11, 2016, 04:06:21 PM
I dont think soo  that  gambling  would   be profitable  for  long term. but  i do  hear  about   some  professional gambler  could able to handle   and  making   gambling  as   a  profitable  activity but they are doing  sport betting and  poker which seems  its possible   because  those games are basing on experience and strategies but   when you play gambling   like dice and  slots  i dont  think its possible.
Well yeah if you're the one playing, i don't think it would ever be profitable at all even if you're skilled in some gambling games. Better to invest in your own gambling site or casino because there, you're sure to profit eventually
9587  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: November 11, 2016, 03:59:31 PM
Gambling is addictive because when you win the "reward" will make yourself happy thus making you bet more but even if you are losing ,your mind is overtaking yourself to think that your still in control of the game even if its not. It is like drugs that when you use big amount your body can tolerate it and it is the same with gambling when you always gamble its hard to stop your mind will find that chemical or thrill when you stop and will cause a withdrawal.

I think so it's really hard to understand for addictive person to make on losing streak, actually mind always say that we can make comeback and will get succeed to take back all of our loses from that casino, this behavior indicate about addiction of gambling.
That's says money is the root of evil and according to a proverbs "greed gives rise to selfish or wicked actions" , wicked actions is when we know that we surpass our threshold limit but still trying our luck to win , after losing our mind will be foggy or not concentrated at all and our personal life will be affected as well.

To be precise, not money is the root of all evil but the LOVE of money is the root of all evil things. And that is not even in the proverbs but in 1 Timothy 6:10

That is the people's mindset that if they gamble they can have a very big profit as they gamble but it becomes wrong in the long run.

Instead of winning, they are recovering their loses that tends them to become more addicted.
Wow! I thought we are just talking things about gambling addiction here, we are extending too much on biblical discussion. Remember that we do not have the same religion here it might create further discussion which would make us off topic. Please stick to the topic..

I think even if some other people have been using some biblical term here I think it is not really that bad and he is still sticking with the topic of addiction well even if you are saying that there are other religion in this thread and I think you are saying that we should separate religion and the topic about drugs, I think he can not separate the topic about the faith of other people and that is base on their own knowledge, especially addiction towards gambling is a problem here and people with these kind of state needs caring and counseling from other people especially a prayer just might help!
Uh well it may help i think but hey even if prayers and counselling may be in a way help, it still would depend on how bad the person wants to quit. Gambling gives a satisfying feeling when you're playing and when you're winning. I think this is what's keeping people coming back
9588  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: is gambling worth to try for newbie? on: November 11, 2016, 03:49:43 PM
Gambling is worth trying even as a newbie. You need to try gambling but all I can give advice is don't let yourself to get addicted. Gamble is made for fun and entertainment only indeed for me. Encountering it for you to know how it works and have experience too.
Well its good to experience gambling once in your life so its ok for beginners to try it. But the danger of getting addicted is a bit bigger for beginners so if you're going to start gambling you have to be ready with a lot of self control
9589  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Giving up gambling is not easy on: November 11, 2016, 03:41:28 PM
Honestly, if you feel as you are getting addicted to something, this should be a wake up call. I mean, if you are responsible enough to admit you are addicted to something, you have the power to stop gambling for example. That is the way i see it
Depends on your self if you want to stop on playing gambling then you should stop before you regret everything because sometimes we blame our self at the last and never think what would be the reflect to us and if you are already addicted on the gambling make your self busy so that you could stay way from gambling .

It is not as easy as you said. To some people, gambling has been a part of them so it is very hard to get away from it. Just like some of the people here, they are so used to using internet that if you are tasked to get away from internet for a month, you may realise it is quite difficult. Dont forget they are trying to get away for life!
There are some gamblers that really have really good experience in loosing money and making good profit when they are in gambling website and they have some good capital to start beting with high amounts There are some good gambler who can really make good profit everyday.

I do  hear  of  this   gamblers too  on  which they could  able to manage their  losses. Some gamblers  dont really matter  on  lossing  as  long   they gain  profit  in the end and   i do  know  that they are  playing  poker and   sports betting.  They are actually making money  with that, only experienced  gamblers could   only do that. Giving  up  on gambling  is  not easy  as  long as you  know  you  can make profits with it.
Yea you're right there. As long as you're benefitting from what you're doing, it would be very hard to quit. Though that mostly is not the case as majority of gambling people seldom win. But it depends on the effects of gambling to the person if they would find it hard or not
9590  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why do islam hates people? on: November 11, 2016, 03:35:59 PM
the real muslem is love and peace
ISIS and terorism is not islam, only use brand islam to attack

is love and peace towards another muslim, not towards infidels. Well they're killing in the name of allah and Islamic State, idk but what about saudi arabia? where they're killing gay people and stone women for being raped? Islam by itself is the cancer of this world, moderate islam is ok (every religion in moderation is ok).

My impression is that the term "moderate islam" has been hijacked to the point where it includes pretty awful things.

But yeah, these people that claim islam is lovey dovey friendly peace are either totally brainwashed or stupid.
Islam is a very aggressive religion! Muslims do not tolerate dissent. Islam and democracy are not compatible. I don't trust them.

Well can't we just let each religion be and quit treating people according to their beliefs and start seeing them as fellow humans? Even though there are muslims who actually do what you're stating here, there are christians who do he same. Every religion has their own dark side so i think it will be more beneficial if we just focus on the positive aspects of life
9591  Other / Politics & Society / Re: TRUMP WINS on: November 11, 2016, 03:26:44 PM
Haha too much Trump Memes everywhere people are making pictures of trump fun and i love it reading some good memes and they really hate trump i don't know why trump is a good leader and if they wishing that trump will fail its like wishing a pilot to crush a plane.
Indeed. We can't do anything about it as it is clear that trump won fairly. It won't do anyone any good if trump is to fail so i think it's time to move forward. Trump is a businessman so he thinks before he acts and i think it's going to be a different trump that we'll see compared to the trump during campaign period
9592  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Donald Trump statement on banning Muslims has disappeared from his website on: November 11, 2016, 03:20:27 PM
I think he didn't really mean everything he said during his campaign. It's different when you're already the one in power and trump should be sensible enough to know that some of his statements during the campain period could bring more harm than good. I think we're going to see a different trump now that he's won
9593  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who can tell that when our luck come to us? on: November 10, 2016, 02:42:25 PM
No one can tell you, that you luck has come?
Do you think that is it possible?  Not a talk.
Use you mind, and tell us, Can someone have a right to tell us that now your lucky period has been started. I believe no one is here, Except God know that all about the future.   
indeed. it would be foolish to assume that at any point luck would present itself. no one can really give out any solid predictions and i think it all happens in random. you just have to be prepared for that moment with the time that you actually have control over
9594  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: November 10, 2016, 02:39:05 PM
Wow Andrew Wiggins is becoming a better player also having a great win against Orlando Magic today, maybe its his motivation because his 2k rating is just 82. Having the average of 23.2 PPG 4.2 RPG with 46% FG shooting and 67% from beyond the arc. That is a major upgrade from last season. I hope the Wolves' slump will end with straight wins this month.
Those shooting percentages, especially from the three point line is going to drop sooner or later. But still, Andrew Wiggins, has shown a big improvement compared to his first two years in the league. It's actually nice to see him mature more as a player along with KAT and Zach LaVine and the other young guns of Minnesota.
its very exciting to watch that more and more players are showing their capability in terms of good competition i know its still early and most of the teams are in the trial stage but seeing that  they are really trying to compete against the giants and super power team thats enough to say that they are belongs to nba let see this young guns game from time to time now.
People are just too overactive here, it's just one win from the wolves after a unsatisfactory performance in the past. They have dominated the game but the magic team is not really a good team or shall I say "Every team has a bad day"..

If they can continue to win, maybe I am convince that they find a good chemistry already.

well the wolves for me are the team of the future. towns and wiggins are both young guys that has yet, i think, to show their fullest potential yet. it's a very good team on paper and i think all they need to do now is to find that confidence that they can actually win, and it's going to be very scary for the other western teams if these two gain a bit more experience along with their other young teammates
9595  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you can control your self when playing gambling? on: November 10, 2016, 02:29:53 PM
I try to control my self as much as possible. On the other hand, gambling is fun and when you're having fun, you don't mind how much money you're losing. I guess the only way we can truly control ourselves is when we leave gambling completely. In gambling, you might be betting low right now and you're fully in control but just wait for a couple of minutes and you're betting high amounts again and you just lost your control.

well yeah the best thing would be to avoid gambling. but if you can't, you have to condition your mind that it's not bad to quit and leave while you still have money left. the excitement of gambling would still be there the next day but when you play out of control, addiction is almost certain, so best to avoid that by exercising self regulation.
9596  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: November 10, 2016, 02:26:23 PM
hello everyone.
i want to know what do you think about gambling bitcoin.. Does Beneficial or more losses?
Share your story here guys!  Grin Grin Grin

It is not wrong after all. Gambling is just a choice so it is about caring money as you want to grow your money. Double importance and care so that you will not lost. But if you are addicted or temptated it is for bad perception this means that gambling is wrong now and it will disaster in your income in the future.
I am sure gambling is considered as entertainment and to be entertain we need to spend money. If a certain gambler does not understand it, he will be having a hard time living in gambling and will not enjoy it, the worst thing is he might also lose his wealth, hence blaming gambling for the failure.
that's right it is not the activity of gambling was wrong it is the person who did it so nothing wrong with gambling if your intention is just to have some fun with your spare time allowing you to enjoy if whatever kinds of betting you are into making some exciting and entertainment i think if we just follow the rule of use only what we afford to lose and can easily forget no problem will take place.

yeah you all for me are correct in here, people who are responsible in gambling are not having any of the problems gambling addicts are having. that proves that it's not what you do that's hurting you how the way you do it. it's easy to get carried away when you play gambling and that way it would be easy for us to lose control and lose more money. we can't blame gambling for that. we should be blaming ourselves since we were not responsible enough to get up and stop whle you still can
9597  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does experience matter in gambling? on: November 10, 2016, 02:18:43 PM
In games of chance I don't think experience matters except in the case of brand new players who do not understand the game (Eg play at 99.99x on a dice game not realizing the odds)

well it depends on what type of gambling you're playing. for games like dice and roulette where in you basically rely on the draw's luck, then the chances or a newbie and an experienced gambler is pretty much the same. though for those games like poker, i think experience would be the most important thing you need
9598  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can gambling be profitable in long term ? on: November 10, 2016, 02:11:14 PM
Sorry to burst your bubble but anyone who's doing autobetting will never have profits in the long run. You'll eventually stumble into that inevitable streak loss that will take all of your money away including your profits. Gambling is based on luck and the ones that are possible to have profits in the long term are those that are actually betting. Those that do manually betting have that slight chance since everything in their way depends in luck and not some strategy.

well for me it's the same with autobetting and manual betting. the odds would still be the same. gambling cannot be profitable in the long run unless you're  actually the one running the gambling site or casino. then your profits are steady until you retire.
9599  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling vs Betting on: November 10, 2016, 02:05:25 PM
We all know betting is better then gambling because you have a certain degree of control. I wonder who of you have gone from gambling to only betting now much did your profits increase and what difference does it make ?

Haha gambling is betting. Gambling means you gamble you bet in a certain website which is acquire money. What I mean is general term of name is gambling. Betting is a subname of gambling. Just bet and you are in gamble or in gambling. Or vice versa just gamble and you are betting.
Well gambling and betting is not the same but there are related to each other. And yes you're right about what gambling is but I don't think about betting. Let's just say that gambling is anything (games, sports, etc.) that has a bet or rewards when you win and a punishment when you look lose.
well i think not. let's just say that gambling is the general term used and betting is just a form of gambling. you really can't differentiate these two because they're kind of the same, betting is a form of gambling while gambling is gambling itself.
9600  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: November 10, 2016, 02:00:29 PM
Anything that allows you to win money easy way you will try even just one time, the human does like challenge and rewards, and if you mix them you will get the result, the potencial earnings anyone can get at gambling make us believe we will win those someday.
What you said is true, I do earn money by working and it seems that no challenge at all, when you are just doing the same thing again and again and you are getting paid for it with the same amount seems no challenge. Hence, we think of getting into risky venture hoping that we can make bigger money in an easy way.
well that's a good way to put it. the fact that there is no guaranteed result with the wagers provide a sense of excitement and thrill. i think that's what makes gambling click with a lot of people. it's not about the winning nor the losing, it's about the feeling when you gamble, those butterflies in your stomach when you're anticipating the results
