Cavs off to a great start tonight. Up by 18 points and its not even close to half-time. It should be an easy win for them. Lebron and Irving lead the scoring with 8 each and almost the whole the team has scored as of now.
They should, but I doubt if they can make it a impressive win, the line went down and most likely they will not cover it. Based on the stats, cavaliers are not good in covering high point spread since it's the warriors specialty in that forte. If their 3 point shooting will continue to fall tonight, they have a chance to cover, low scoring in the 1st half but I have a feeling this game will go over.

What a blow out coming from gsw defeating okc with 21pts its really hard for okc to wins against the fans its just a tie game in the half time thinking that okc will keep doing the great start but gsw start to blow coming the third quarter and make a dot in the fourth outscoring the okc. Durant play really big today 40points for him.
That's expected, warriors are clutch team and they are really good in the 2nd half. It's the trend that we should be keeping an eye, although the spread is really big but that is warriors man. Once they started to heat up,they are difficult to stop and it will continue until their opponent cannot compete anymore. Durant was beast tonight, credit to this man, good addition as always.

I believe this advise is meant for someone who has been having badluck in gambling or whose losses is more than his winning then I will say this advise is really on point but for someone who has been able to turn .05btc to 0.52btc I am sure OP wont give the same advice and even the loved ones being referred will be happy if I can take them out for chocolate or to the cinema out of my profit. I am sure they wont want the source of my resources to dry which is nothing but gambling.
Turning 0.05 bitcoins to 0.52 bitcoins would really be great and I don't think no one will care if you quit or not. Actually if they receive something from you or they benefited from those winnings then they would be more than happy to let you continue! But if you are indeed losing tons of money every time you gamble, then that's when you should just stop and quit it.
That's common, when you are winning you will be appreciated by your family and if the other way around they will not gonna like you. I'm sure we know that money makes the world go round, so we all work hard to make money, irregardless of the method we are making. If gambling can bring that to us, I mean by winning on a consistent basis, then continue doing it.
9704  Other / Archival / Re: Which one is more risky? Skill-based gambling or trading? on: January 19, 2017, 06:07:39 AM
Skill based game are still the most risky than trading because you can get any if you lose in gambling but if you are trader you know trading is much wise choice because you can gain a good profit and it is easy to make profit also you can not lose all if the price is going down you can be still sell them..

Well i really liked trading because it will really get back your money and it will make your money a profit, though i have a hard tine believing in people that wants to trade with me so I really dont trade, unless I really know that person and I am meeting him in personal. Trading is a best choice though i like skill based gambling.
Evaluating ourselves is very important, we must know where we are good at, both are risky and will be riskier if we do not have the skills and knowledge required. One can be good in skilled based gambling but not good in trading, it really depends on your interest as both requires skills for us to be effective.
9705  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you feel shameful for being a gambler? on: January 19, 2017, 04:55:00 AM
Not one bit im not stealing or scamming to feed an addiction.
So what is there to feel bad about?

I don't know why there are people who are shameful for being a gambler. Maybe their addiction is really that too much and it came to the point that they are doing those things that they must not do. But with me, I don't feel to be shameful for it because I am not doing those type of activity to steal and scam people because I gamble with my own money.
Being shameful will only happen if we do illegal things when doing gambling, but if not, then it should be something we can be proud of as it's entertaining for us and that is our main intention why we are doing it. Those people who said it should be a shameful activity, for sure they have not tried gambling yet, they must try to know how entertaining it is.
9706  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: i have a trick of gambling but i can't use :( on: January 19, 2017, 04:44:29 AM
recently I made a strategy of gambling without effect of house edge but I can't use my stretagy because my strategy of bitcoin is based upon two mobile Mobile with good internet connection but I have a single mobile with poor internet connection, since I tried my stretagy with a mobile of friend but how many days I will make use the mobile of other person .
Now , I am confused that how to make use my stretagy....no money no start of earning .

any suggestions thanx in advance .
What are you trying to imply with your post? if you have that working strategy then it would be easy for you to look for money to finance yourself and make you rich in just a short period of time. I wonder if you can really do it, you are talking of dice man and we know that house edge matters and that makes us lose in the long run.
9707  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be considered as a Sickness!! on: January 19, 2017, 04:30:40 AM
If you too often lose, of course you get sickness, but if you got big victory, you never sick. I think this is depends of the result. Many people complain when lose but they forget after get win.

Much better to say that if you gamble too often then you can get sickness, body sickness, mental sickness and other sickness that can be lead for gambling too much. And I can relate also when people that has sickness when they win, they are making it as a cure and their sickness is becoming gone a little by little.
It start with the mind sickness, when you have that, your body will also depreciate and you will be sick. I would not want to be in that situation in the future that's why I made sure I am being responsible in gambling. For newbies, they think it's easy to make money, they started gambling but does not make a deep research on the possibilities, thus, when they experience the negative possibility they do not know how to handle it.
9708  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to quit Gambling for good? on: January 19, 2017, 04:14:39 AM
If gambling is a problem for anyone then it would be time for them to look at taking a break and like with most things there are 2 ways to do it, straight out cold turkey or taper down.

Maybe just stick with buying a lottery ticket each week if you still have the urge to gamble
.
That would be a good idea, it's not expensive and you can still gamble. However, the chances are very low and it's only 1 in a millions of people who were given the opportunity to win and be a millionaire. Quitting needs time to do it, a gambler depends on the seriousness of addiction cannot just say quit and do it, it's a process and it's slow, but possible with with sincerity.
9709  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Everyone looses in the long run on: January 18, 2017, 08:20:32 AM
in gambling one strategy will work only once or twice if you repeat that it won't work. And to making some fixed bankroll to play gambling is safe.

You call that strategy , I'd rather call that as delusion. Everythig is going to work unless it is not working anymore. People keep on asking for strategy or atleast make their own strategy but nothing is going to last forever and for those thing that dont last forever, it shouldnt be call as strategy, it is more like a variance to me
Well, that's the normal in gambling, gamblers loses in the long run as strategy does not last forever. It's better to accept that early so we can make method to to manage it effectively. Since we will still gonna lose in the long run, our focus now should not be winning, it should be on how to spend quality time with gambling so it would not result to unpleasant outcome.
9710  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you use analysis when play gambling? on: January 18, 2017, 07:55:49 AM
Just want know how much the gamblers who use analysis when play gambling and what kinds of gambling game? And do you think it is needed or not making analysis on gambling game or it is depend on lucky. Thanks for share your opinions and experience.
It depends on what gambling game do you play if sportsbook it need analysis (if you want) in every game you bet but if in dice game it depends on your luck.I like sportsbook than the dice game.
Every game you play as long as it categorize as gambling we need to analyze, we do not analyze on the event or game alone but we also analyze on our bankroll. There are strategy on how to win and there are also strategy on how to manage our bankroll, this two are vital and must work together.
9711  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 50 Dollars a Day! on: January 18, 2017, 06:23:04 AM
Hello,
If you wanted to make 50 Dollars a day what betting strategy would you take?

I would go on sports betting theres a 90% chance you can win. Dice games are also a good gambling best strategy is just don't be greedy and cash out as you can. Gambling is always risky
Are you sure about your data? It's insane to say 90% chances you have in winning when most of us are still losers, where's the connection there?
In sports betting, you have to pay for the juice which is 10% normally per losing bet but in dice you just have to pay 1%, there's a big difference if you look at the percentage. I believe sports betting is more popular and has a little edge in terms of winning chances compared to dice but 90% is unbelievable.
9712  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is the best source of bitcoin nowadays? on: January 18, 2017, 06:14:09 AM
I think trading is the best option these days for earning a profit, as you know how fast the price of bitcoin rise and drops.
There are some other ways also suck as doing part time job by helping someone for bitcoins.
Or maybe earning through donations, however, it is not potential income.
It is, no doubt about that, I have been trading and it gives me a little profit somehow and it's one of my source of income since my major source of income is really my job. I have a stable job and it gives me a good amount of fixed income but I do not limit my earnings just doing it, I have big dreams and I want to achieve it in bitcoin. I do trading to earn and do gambling to entertain my busy day.
9713  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: January 18, 2017, 05:47:49 AM
Dallas has never won three games this season. Dallas has won the last three games between the two teams.

Half of the games Deron Williams and Dirk Nowitzki was injured, Dallas started very bad this season but things changed. Nowitzki is back stronger and they started to win games. Dallas is 13-27 now. Tonight's game Chicago is favorite but don't underestimate Dallas. In Dallas Bogut is officially out for the game. Chicago Bulls -5.5 @ 1.84 looks good but Nowitzki's performance would be decisive.

Both teams are coming with a two game winning streak after three consecutive loss. Almost the same in terms of their overall stats in those two games they able to win. In their first meeting this season last December, Mavericks defeated the Bulls with 25 points lead margin @ 107-82. Dirk Nowitzki is out of the game that time while Dwayne Wade on the other hand was not present in the Bulls lineup.

In MAVS' lasts 2 games, the veteran Dirk Nowitzki really puts up some pump in his performance so this is a big advantage for the team as he will played in tonight's game. Wade is out for the Bulls.

I will go for Dallas Mavericks @ 2.96.

I'll pick Chicago. Homecourt advantage plus Butler is back healthy and their lineup is deep as compared to Mavericks. Dallas is pretty banged (Dirk not playing?) up I guess so Chicago will take advantage of it.


I'll pick Chicago as well. Bulls have been good at home whereas Mavs seems to be struggling a little. Dirk Nowitzki isn't injured and will be playing.  Only concerning in the match up is to the bulls with Nikola Mitroic out due to illness. Shouldnt really change the outcome of the game. With Butler back in the lineup is should be easy win for Bulls.

What do you think of Jimmy Butler, a high rated superstar than will make things go easier against the MAVS? You just said that it will be an EASY game for the Bulls.

Anyways looks like you all have been busted. Fortunately my bet win and even if not, that is going to be not an easy game for the Bulls.

Dallas Mavericks - 99 Chicago Bulls - 98
Butler was already back in the line up in their games against the Memphis, in fact he made a good play in the fourth quarter which give them a win in the end. I don't understand why the Bulls love to showcase their skills in the road but does not play well at home. This team is very unpredictable now, for sure there's plenty of gamblers who loses in this game.
9714  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: January 18, 2017, 05:37:14 AM
The thrill of winning is very addictive. Like an adrenaline rush.
That right, we are all very optimistic that we can win and the moment we lose we cannot just stop and accept it, we will fight back that lead to the possibility of chasing bets. It would not be fun if there is no money involve as games are boring without bet on it as what it is reflected in the mentality of the gamblers.

Though there are times that we are already losing but still we go on, we still believe in the end we can win someone, that is the kind of courage we have in gambling, we never lose hope to win.
yes actually everybody who gamble will never anticipate on losing.

but they will think about win win and winning , that was a wrong mindset. so once they suffering lost they feel it shouldn't happened , it should be your winning in the next bet , then they try again but just keep hitting a streak lost and then lost everything.
I think that's too unlucky of yours, having a losing streak will make our bankroll busted, it should not happen to us if we will limit our bets. Losing and winning streak are both possible in gambling, so we must prepare ourselves to make the right reaction in the event we will experience that. It's very addictive when we do not anticipate it will hit us in the long run as most likely we will make a wrong decision.
9715  Economy / Speculation / Re: I will not Die Untill Bitcoin will reach at Least 50K on: January 17, 2017, 12:28:49 PM
I am sure they can never be $50k per 1 bitcoin. It is unbelievable.

Maybe it is possible to reach bitcoin in $50K, though he needs to exercise and eat healthy foods for him to witness the bitcoin reach $50K LOL. On the other side, bitcoin would be really impossible to reach that amount of price per bitcoin, $50K is really unreachable. I think the chance of bitcoin on going that high is 0.000001 percent. I'm not being pessimistic about this, but it is really hard to happen.

Hard to happen but, the possibility of aiming to happen this $50k per bitcoin is there even the chance is less than 1, but then let us ask how old is the OP at the moment to wait until the $50k will be reach. As long as the volume of the user of bitcoin is increasing for sure reaching this unbelievable value is possible.

Yeah it's hard but not impossible. Though it may take a very long time as 50k really is an ambitious target and i don't think we'd be seeing that in our lifetime. Though through consistent rise of users i think it can be attainable. With i'll be saving bitcoins not for me but most likely for my grandkids Cheesy
You are really thinking it would not happen in the near future because instead of your son your thinking for your grand kids to benefit your savings. I don't know if I can ever see that price but I hope I will. Bitcoin has been very consistent when it comes to rising it's price and sometimes it rises abruptly that it reach into the point that it surprise and amaze us. I am a believer of bitcoin no matter what crisis will happen so I will not limit the possibility that it will happen in the near future.
9716  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The best way to quit gambling for good on: January 17, 2017, 12:19:23 PM

- Want to quit gambling, only to rely on willpower and yourself
- God does not help you that only you can help you
- Please reduce the duration and number of play until no longer want to play, it is the best way

The third one is just weird, there is no way that someone could reducethe duration. Gambling is not a game and there is no fixed time where you could have choosen how many hour that you will play. It totally depends on the mood, if you keep on winning however you got no mood in it then you would stop and even worse when you keep losing yet you still want to keep on playing
But if someone plan from the beginning that he will lay only for that particular time then he will be able to gamble only for that time and will not go the whole time following the mood. Those people who are not addicted to gambling often leave the game in the mid after they come to know that they have played enough.
Indeed. People should have a gambling schedule to control themselves while gambling. Quitting gambling is only for those who are addicted to it to basically if you have an ability to govern your body, gambling is very useful and good for your mental health since it help you to relax from stress. Gamble in a smart way and you will get some reward from it
Well, I'm okay with the reward of having fun, I dream to be profitable in gambling but seems it's really hard to achieve it. I believe even if you cannot be profitable in gambling, you can still enjoy it if you are playing it responsibly. To quit will only happen to me when time comes that I will be losing more money and I will lose time with my family, that is a sign of bad addiction already.
9717  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you know when to stop? on: January 17, 2017, 11:15:16 AM
Three losses in a row and I stop.

It's gambling after all, there's no logic to it.

Right, it is gambling after all, on rules and no limit to stop, In my view, it is depend on our money, if we have limited amount, than we should have to stop ourself, if we can't stop ourself, so it has clear mean that in the next bet definitely it give us lose, and if we win than may be it covered our lose. But gambling is risky, that's why i advice for every gamblers who don't want to stop, should stop.
Sometimes it happened to us, you know that if you have been gambling for a while. There are times that we really cannot stop because the game is very intense, especially when we are losing. Most gamblers would not accept easily and quit and end a day with a lose, we all want to get back our loses and hoping that somehow we can end up with a profit. I guess stopping is necessary but it's hard and I can't promise I can do it all the time.
9718  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling problem on: January 17, 2017, 11:08:45 AM
A lot of people are having gambling problems but I do not think that its bad or something because its logical, I also think that its just a certain time period for people.
It is depend of a person on how they can handle themselves in playing gambling, because some gamblers can't control themselves because of their addiction, while others know how to handle their emotions so that they will not get addicted in to it and be responsible enough to themselves.

yes it really depends on the purpose of the gamblers. most of them is thinking that gambling is an easy money. it is true but you really need tons of luck on your side to win! they don't realize that majority of the gamblers are losers! there is no skill nor knowledge on gambling. it is really based on pure luck!
Well, as a gambler we have our opinion and we have a freedom what to say. But for me, I do not believe that it's just solely base on luck for the reason that when it is my mentality I will lose my long term vision and trust on my skills. I guess that depends on the game you are playing, if it's skilled based games then skills are more important than luck.
9719  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin or gold? on: January 17, 2017, 03:59:06 AM
Gold is a great asset if you are no into risk, which is why hold gold, however bitcoin is an greater asset when it comes down to potential,earnings and innovation.
Which is why most of my assets are into bitcoin.
I agree that bitcoin potential to grow our money, although the price of gold is more stable than bitcoin but needs really big xapital and extra security to holding gold. Also if we want to gain profit from it, we have to wait in a few years to get significant profit. I think holding gold is good for rich people. Anyone can hold bitcoin, the volatility makes the holder can get good profit even do not only have small capital. For me bitcoin is better.
Bitcoin is for the majority while gold is for the minority or the rich people. It's true, the convenience in terms of security belongs to bitcoin as we do not need to spend another expenses just to secure since wallets are free online and we can spread our deposits with different wallets provider.

I am also making a journey here in the crypto world and even if I will be successful here and I can afford to invest with gold, I will still prefer with bitcoin.

Go guys!
In many cultures and countries is gambling consider as a bad thing which only the poorest and silliest ones do. Many gamblers try to hide that they gamble from their friends and families and feel really shameful for that. Do you consider gambling as a bad thing? Do you feel shameful or proud for being a gambler? If it is shame what you feel what do you about it? How do you hide you're a gambler and who do you hide it from?
Let others know!
First if you are going to feel shameful on doing something then why do you have to do it specially if it is considered as bad thing in your country,
And yes I also consider gambling as a bad thing but only if I lose my money but most of the time i'm a proud gambler I always tell my friends and family when i'm playing and if I win a lot of money through it.
That sounds unfair, lol. There should only be one definition of gambling regardless of the outcome of our activity. It's entertainment and it should stay that way. When you win, you feel God has given you a blessing but when you lose you consider it as bad thing? Where's the sense?

It's not a job that gives you fixed income mate, it's a game of chances and you can lose or win anytime.
