It is very easy to quit in gambling there are many things and ways to overcome it.

It is not easy, people think that it is only about money but it is not really about money all the time. Sometimes people are just having fun with it so people keep gambling , as long as it is still controllable and people dont ruin themselves because of it then It is fine to keep on gambling for fun purposes

People enter into gambling for having fun, mostly by the interest of their peers (who are mostly affiliates of the casino). They start and bet and lose - then they want to win back the loss and bet again. They keep chasing losses and ultimately they end up with zero balance. Thats how addiction starts - this addiction is due to the money lost which was their hard earned money. Their minds are clogged by the jackpots and the tempting advertisements of the casino so much so that they become a regular there.

The only way to stop this is self control.

Depends from what games we gambled, if we gamble based on luck games, we can't learn anything like you said. But if we gamble based on skilled games, we can learn something when we lose or win. Sportbetting as example, we can learn something from their previous match to predict their next match
Sports betting can be a profitable one if you have the guts to spare some money and have the knowledge about the sport and following the team news you really have an idea what the end result could be ,but there are upsets in the match and those are the times when you can earn a huge amount of money.
I agree with that. If you see that you can predict the teams that are going to win, you can capitalize on that and see if you can really make something out of it. Matches can sometimes be unpredictable due to the conditions of players. Don't be discouraged and don't bet everything when you gamble.
If we can analyze the teams and make the predictions based on past games and current conditions we can often win bets and get profits from them. However the current trend is a bit different and biased. This is due to match fixing and the gifts and bribes players and teams get for fixing.

It is done in many countries and very prevalent in current games. Hence they are not fully fair technically hence be prepared to get losses incurred even when betting in sports.
9604  Economy / Economics / Re: Does the Price of Bitcoin Matter? on: March 01, 2017, 11:57:50 AM
I also think it is irrelevant in terms of attracting more attention or demand. But for me or any investors out there price of Bitcoin matter as it is the main reason why people are investing at it in the first place because of its price action. Even if Bitcoin is priced at 2000$ it will have a little affect on being well known what it needs is support from businesses and governments to make it successful.

Support from governments will never happen because all governments are anti-bitcoin. It is because bitcoin stops all taxation and the government's revenue is stopped. However more business accepting bitcoin can cause a price surge which is definitely helpful.

The main source of price increase is the number of traders and traded volume of bitcoin.

Quote
When the bitcoin price is high and the market cap is large, more big investment funds will invest in it so the price will be higher.
Many of them found online are ponzi schemes and HYIP/MLM - all of which are pure scams. Most people think bitcoin = money for scammers and hence I do not know how much this will help the economy.
9605  Other / Off-topic / Re: How are you earning BTC? on: March 01, 2017, 11:50:00 AM
Unfortunately mostly faucets and odd micro jobs. I figure in my down time at work if they keep me busy, so be it. I don't really have a skill that's marketable via the internet .. ie: graphic design or the like.

Faucets are a waste of time and waste of electricity. They are meant for people who have just obtained a wallet and want to get some small amount of coins to start its transactions - that is know how bitcoin works and start transactions on it. But its not a method to get rich.

Jobs that pay you in bitcoin are the best and thus people should try to market the skills they have in freelance sites and other professional fields - not only in bitcoin but also fiat.

Trading is another good source and signature campaigns are side earnings.
9606  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What keeps you coming back??? on: March 01, 2017, 11:46:02 AM
Am still coming back to gambling in the first place i want to gamble to make a big profit. I almost lose my money and i want them back so i still coming back for playing. But i think i have no luck i always lose when the time i decided to played a game i always lose. 

Its the same with others addicted to gambling, going to make profits with hopes of winning big but that never happens since the house edge is against us and we are bound to lose in the long run if we keep gambling.

There is not much question stopping since the losses incurred make us bet more and more and this leads to a vicious cycle. People end up in debts due to this and they cant pay back the money - horrible things.
9607  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What keeps you coming back??? on: February 28, 2017, 03:18:21 PM
I came back because I believe bitcoin will change my life

Of course it will change your life if you know where to put it correct - and gambling is the least of it.

You should try to get a job which pays in bitcoin or you can try trading bitcoin. If you simply gamble all your money you will end up with zero balance. You need to know when to stop and when to leave gambling. Otherwise all the hard work that you do and the money you earn all goes down the drain.
Never try to chase your losses in gambling - if losses are big, stop immediately. Redeem your losses by working hard and earning back that amount in a legit manner, then control yourself from gambling further.
9608  Economy / Marketplace / Re: How to make 1 bitcoin in a month or 2? on: February 28, 2017, 03:13:37 PM
If you want to earn 1 or 2 btc in a month it will need a lot of work.  Theres no easy way on how to earn 1 or 2 bitcoin a month,  you must engage into different btc making methods.like trading, signature campaign,doing some task,  inviting refferrals ,claiming on faucets and many more.

Best thing to do is to get a job that pays you in bitcoin. You cant expect to run all of them every month. Traders see bad days too. Signature campaigns can be a good side earning and not a primary source.

So the best thing to do is to learn and gain skills and knowledge in some field, more so if possible a professional field. Be it fiat or bitcoin, it is the best way to make money and its the old-skool method of hard work and labour on part of the worker.
9609  Other / Off-topic / Re: How are you earning BTC? on: February 28, 2017, 03:08:14 PM
Can anyone suggest me a genuine faucet to earn bitcoin? There are so many scams out there.

Freebitco.in is one of the oldest and is sure to pay. But consider you get only 170 satoshi per 1 hour if you hit lowest reward, 10 hours = 1700 satoshi, that wont make you rich. If you're new to bitcoin its a good start to learn about withdrawing, wallets etc.

New people should learn about bitcoin and how to use it. Then they can think of earning it. Best methods to earn is buying and selling bitcoin or trading. Signature campaigns are also good if you have a proper rank and can make quality posts.

Faucets will not make anyone rich and they are mostly a waste of time. Many times the faucets also promote HYIP and MLM scams - which trap newbies easily. However freebitco.in is a legit and old faucet which everyone can use.

Early last year, too, do such manipulations as well as this year.


What exactly do you mean by manipulations? You believe the market prices are manipulated to make the market look similar as always? I think the pumping of coins is more important to keep prices stable in order to keep up with the demand.

Quote
The price chart is very similar, only with other figures.

I also dont get this point. Price chart is not similar but changes every now and then due to activity of traders.

Quote
So I very much hope for stabilization in the bitcoin market and that our coins will go up in price.

How exactly is that possible looking at the sheer number of traders in the equation? All of them are earning from the market and so the prices will remain unstable though maybe at a smaller margin.
9611  Economy / Economics / Re: Does the Price of Bitcoin Matter? on: February 27, 2017, 09:35:20 AM
Yes I think it's matter, because if the value of bitcoin was nothing, nobody would be interested by BTC, so of course his value is interesting. More his value is big more people who have bitcoins will be happy.

The higher price will attract more investors.
In general, the investors must involve the future of bitcoin. It would be much more effective when you buy bitcoin at a low price and expect tremendous growth in the future.

Investors help the economy of bitcoin to grow at a proper pace. As the prices rise more investors are pulled in which leads to more market capital and increased price. Thus in general the price is a very important factor as far as investing is concerned. Merchants do consider the fiat equivalent as the instantaneous price and thus it is not much important to them. For merchants its just another mode of accepting payments.

I'm earning btc by buying them every time I have the money and the prices are not insane as to what they are right now. Also, I'm doing sports betting and trading altcoins to btc just for extra income. I used to write articles for a now defunct website way back in 2015 but ever since I got a good day job, I left doing that and just focused on what I'm doing on the job right now.

Yes if you can manage to buy them regularly then its an best investment to make at a moment and selling them when price goes higher is the right decision to make and I think that is the easiest way to earn profits in bitcoins.

Trading is one of the best ways to earn bitcoin and hence people are interested in it. Buying at low prices and then selling when prices increase is what people have been doing for ages. Bitcoin price fluctuation is there and then people are pumping it and prices keep on increasing. So whatever price you buy bitcoin at, there is always a profit when you reach higher prices.
9613  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Where to Invest BTC? on: February 27, 2017, 09:24:28 AM
Try invest in a casino bankroll. The house edge will mean you always win and it's very rare that you lose money. I have investments in both just-dice and crypto-games and they seem to pay out a good return on your initial investment. Make sure to spread the investments over multiple sites.

Investing in casino bankroll is good and is meant for the long term investors. In short term some high roller may win big and losses may be incurred. However since mathematically the house edge is there, you will get back profits in the long run. So panicky investors are not recommended to invest in casino bankrolls

Make sure to secure your account will strong password and 2FA is possible. However if they get hacked, we can lose all the money so its recommended to make sure that you dont invest more than what you can lose.
9614  Economy / Marketplace / Re: How can we encourage local businesses to accept BTC? on: February 27, 2017, 09:19:32 AM
To encourage local businesses to accept bitcoin as their another kind of payment system, we should explain how the bitcoin works and what are the good benefit of accepting and owning a bitcoin in a very short and simple way because if we explain it on a long and complicated way then they will lose their interest.

Also tell them that if they are going to accept bitcoin they can be considered as unique business because this is not popular. If they will accept they are one of the very few in the metro that is accepting it.

I agree on this part. It may lead them to become a pioneer in the bitcoin payment system. This can help them more popularity and thus make the people accept the payment mode.

I have made this opinion to many of the merchants in my country  already. I hope at least one of them will be accepting it in future and then others will follow the lead.
9615  Economy / Marketplace / Re: How can we encourage local businesses to accept BTC? on: February 26, 2017, 07:35:11 AM
Yes we can encourage local businesses to accept bitcoin by means of letting those business owners to register at online wallet of bitcoin and fiat currency exchange. He/she will appreciate the advantages and usefullness of digital and fiat currency in terms of fast service and low transaction fees. In that aspect of bitcoin overview that online wallet that he/she will be using is a mediator of any currency that will be paid or converted as form of payment which can cash out as profit to them, through recommended bank.

Yes indeed the advantage in local businesses are getting a lot of member and will certainly get great returns, let alone our business wake up using bitccoin. Although it has many advantages but it still has a lot of harm if we do not want to secure transaction or our business properly. Because broadly speaking bitcoin is a place that is very prone to be theft.No problems did make the local business base bitcoin, but we should be able to do very well in order to benefit measurable as we want

the only disadvantaged I think is that we can let the customers made their identity real, some might not use their real names and might use other names. We should still be careful implementing btc but it is RY a good way to  do business.

Most of the people and the owners are not knowing about bitcoin in many developing and developed countries. This community is a small fraction of the entire population of the earth. However it is upto some non-profit organisation to devlelop systems to encourage the users to accept bitcoin and for owners to accept it too.

Then again there is another problem - 1st impression of bitcoin is that is a hackers money, scam coin, coin for drugs etc. People consider bitcoin=scam, ponzi. Since this misconception is the first impression it is difficult to work around it and make them trust it.

Because after all if you make them trust it, you have to maintain that trust. One single wrong step and they will blame you for everything, even if it was their fault.
9616  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Where to Invest BTC? on: February 26, 2017, 07:28:35 AM
If you study the current prices critically then you should keep your BTC and don't invest in any thing else because you stand a chance in profiting from investing in  so why take it out and invest somewhere else. There are good times ahead people. Cheers!
yeah i think you are right as current price is keeps on increasing day by it doesn't needs any investment. you just have to keeps it in your wallet and it will you profit after some times.

Keep tabs on the market capital and the current price. Thats the way it goes until a target is reached and sell some coins. But then again dont sell all away. Currently trading is s good investment, more so bitcoin itself is a good investment since the prices are going up as usual and keep increasing.

Other investments like HYIP/MLM are pure scams and people even fall for them. Newbies always fall for them and end up scammed. I guess its human nature that we block our own reasoning and fall for them.
9617  Economy / Economics / Re: Sell Everything? on: February 26, 2017, 07:21:45 AM

Most of us are hoping to see big rises in bitcoin prices in the next few months and years maybe upto 1500$+. It may take some time and maybe associated with dips in prices as well. But then I am also hoping prices to reach such amounts and hoping to sell much of my coins then. It will be a big profit then. Otherwise I will just hold the coins and sell at other prices when targets reach.

It might take a few months to achieve $1500. There will be dips, not worry.

I am ready for dips. In fact I hope prices dip upto 300$ so I can buy more again. I am a very patient type of trader enough to hold coins upto a decade.
I never panic on the field or get tensed specially since its bitcoin.

Selling everything is never my thing again. In that case its difficult to get back into the business. One thing I do often is sell smaller parts of it to book profits and then bank that. Maybe reinvest it later on as well.
9618  Other / Off-topic / Re: How are you earning BTC? on: February 26, 2017, 07:17:43 AM
I earn my few Bitcoin by filling capctchers although the amount earn is small nevertheless it's serving a purpose.

I think the amount is small as well, but even then its not enough to serve your daily needs. You also need to spend electricity to run the device as well, be it computer or smartphone. So in that way you are spending money on electricity and getting very low returns which cant even pay that bill. So there is a net loss and not profit from such things.

Faucets, PTC, Captcha solving are all waste of time according to me. I have a life and am earning well from my work so why waste time on these?
9619  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: February 25, 2017, 08:08:15 AM
I don't know why but I always get a feeling to gamble, after then losing my money, I quit for some time and then continue, but I know I will lose my btc Sad

Why is it so addictive?
Because it gave enjoyment to the for the gamblers, and there adrenaline maybe are always looking unto it to fulfill the satisfaction of their body, in this case there is a psychological already to the gamblers.
enjoyment somebody really different, but we have to respect someone who puts the pleasures of the gambling game because I felt that the gamble I can pull out all the emotions that I had with a satisfactory expression.

On the contrary I think its only brings sadness and frustration for people who have been to casino for real. 99% of the people posting here have never been to a real casino and are posting like they know everything in the world.

There is nothing called "fun" in gambling - people say that they go for fun but actually they all go tempted to make money in a easy way. That greed is dangerous and is the thing that kills.

In the long run, they chase after the losses and end up with more losses. Gradually all their balance is washed away and they are left in debt.
9620  Other / Off-topic / Re: How are you earning BTC? on: February 25, 2017, 08:04:53 AM
Im earning btc thru faucets,gambling,investment and etc. And i would want to add more and to know more also so that i may have a choices so that i might gonna apply it for future.

Faucets are a waste of time. Consider the electricity and internet costs that you spend for earning some mere fractions of satoshis. its plain 4th grade maths and you can see very well that the real profitmaker is the owner of the faucet. Gambling is the best way to lose money unless you have some +EV game like poker and sports betting - but then again many of them are fixed and rigged.

Quote
well bitcointalk.org's signature campaign is the only major source through which we can make about $30 or more in a month just by spending 2 hours in a day or may be less.

So that means you are ready to post like a spammer? No offence but your post really declares that. This forum is about helping each other learn about bitcoin and such. It is not a place to "post for earnings".
