Definitely not "good at" any gambling games because you can't really achieve a good consistent return from gambling whatever game you play in my opinion. But I like playing dice, and blackjack.

And that is clearly tells that regardless of the game that you are good that, and if you think you are getting some good winnings with dice and blackjack so just stick with it so that your luck will be always there if you are going to play with those games. I can say that I'm not good too, but I am getting some decent winnings none other than dice.

Well being good at some games doesn't necessarily equate to winnings as there most likely be a lot of people better than you. The important thing is that you are enjoying the type of game you're playing.
9702  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Giving up gambling is not easy on: November 01, 2016, 12:03:14 PM
It is really an easy thing, but if you are willing and have the sense of giving up gambling and totally your are going to quit. Then that is going to be an easy thing. You just need to have some other things to put your time to, like building up your own shape. Going to a gym did helped me to give up gambling and I'm using my money for gambling in membership gym fees.

I don't agree that it's that easy. It's the same when you're addicted to other vices like smoking or being alcoholic. It takes time and effort when you're trying to stop your addiction to something, it needs help from people around you and it needs dedication from the person who wants to quit
9703  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Favorite game (gambling) on: November 01, 2016, 11:49:43 AM
My favorite is dice, especially, when the gambling website has an auto bet mode. I usually play on the site where the house edge is 0.5% so that I have a better chance of winning in the long run.

I still can't get though, even if the house edge is only 0.5% the roll is still random right? I've been thinking about how to have a winning streak in this game eversince because of all the times that i've played, i always end up losing my capital
9704  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to stay away from gambling? suggestions ? on: November 01, 2016, 11:46:06 AM
If you are an addicted gambler, you need professional advice seeking help for treatment for addiction. However the addiction is a personal problem and you can get rid of it yourself as well. Take the help of your family members and keep your mind busy with other things that you love to do without wasting your time on gambling.
These things are methods to stop gambling. But to follow this methods you should have self control, yes if you can not control your mind then no treatments and no suggestions will help you to stop gambling. but i agree that family members help must and should. Friends and doctors just give advice but they will not take care you like family members.
yeah family and close friends have an important part in helping severely addicted gamblers in the long run. Of course it would have to start with the person himself and how badly he wants to stay away. It would be very hard especially in the beginning but it has to start somewhere
9705  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The House always wins. on: November 01, 2016, 11:38:54 AM
The house doesn't always win but it definitely always win in the long run. There is no doubt about it, at all.

What you need to realise is that although it is possible to make a small profits in the short term, it is not possible to do that in the long term. Thus gambling isn't a way to earn money but rather a way to lose.
All true , gambling house is the most who earns .even some players hit the highest jackpot they will still have the biggest amount of money for many players who lose their moneys .many players come to think gambling can make them rich but not ,gambling house owners is the one who is rich from it.

Well that's how they earn money. People who think they can get around and win against the house are making a big mistake. Of course, there will be a few time when someone will be lucky enough to win but that is seldom the case for most gamblers
9706  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is it Sports Betting is better than other type of gambling? on: November 01, 2016, 11:27:16 AM
I dont think sports betting is better than other types of gambling. It depend on our understanding about the subject. When we familiar with sports for example, soccer, then sports betting could be better for us but if we only familiar with other type of gambling for example, dice, so dice will be better for us. Sports betting is better for some people but not for everybody.

Everyone have a right to say his opinion, and i feel that is your opinion, and i respect it but personally, i also feel sports  betting is better than other gambling, because majority of the peoples who play gambling they definitely like sports and everyone play it easily because they know the basic rules of the sports, that's why majority prefer to sports betting into gambling, So always accept what the said of majority.

I also would to do agree with you sports betting is really interesting thing than any other format of gambling, sports gambling give us a lot of freedom and flexibility to pick the odds which one suit us and how sure we are about the playing teams abilities, I feel good with sports betting.
Yeah the good thing about sports betting is it ism't entirely reliant on luck and the more you know about the sport you're betting the higher the chance of you winning.
9707  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: In gambling, Money is more important than knowledge and luck on: November 01, 2016, 10:50:39 AM

Luck should always comes first, then knowledge and money...If you have knowledge and money and you are not lucky, your bankroll will just be a giveaway...Knowledge can only be acquire in gambling thru experience and that means you have to learn it along the way while you are betting... But if you are into sports betting, then knowledge could give  you a little more advantage in betting...  Smiley

I like your ranking and I agree that luck should comes first. If luck  is in your not knowledgeable enough you will win and will be surprised in the turning of events. Playing or gambling with money or chasing money as a goal is not good strategy as you will be stressed if you lose consecutively.
For me i disagree because how can you play if you dont have any amount of money ,so my ranking is money is the first ,for second is luck and third is knowledge .In my own opinion you cant only play with your luck alone ,money and knowledge it must be always the three of them .
Well for gambling, of course you should have a little money in order for you to bet. I think that's a given. But when you're into gambling already, i think luck would be the one that will make the most difference among the selections. I mean if you don't have money then don't gamble simple as that. If you're lucky, a single lottery ticket that doesn't cost much would change your life
9708  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: casinos and gamble. what is the difference between them? on: November 01, 2016, 10:41:20 AM
Well is there really a comparison between the two? I think not. It's like saying there's a difference between basketball and a stadium. Everyone knows that gambling is what transpires inside casinos.
9709  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: November 01, 2016, 10:34:49 AM
While it is still early into the season, it is clear that the two best teams in the NBA are the San Antonio Spurs and Cleveland Cavaliers and we could be headed to a rematch of their 2007 NBA Finals, where the Spurs swept LeBron and the Cavs in four games for those that remember. Out of the four NBA games on tap today, the best one seems to be the Phoenix Suns versus Los Angeles Clippers, where I favor the Clippers.

Too sad that there is no more Tim Duncan that we can watch for every game of Spurs. I really admire Duncan's loyalty to his team and how did he contribute to play in the finals with the help of his power and strength inside the court. I saw also good potential of the team Phoenix Suns, but I hope their coach would train them more for shooting outside because they are lack for it, 3 point shoot outs.

Yes mate Tim Duncan is one of the best centers in the NBA he's not too show off when it comes to his moves.. That's why he called Mr. Fundamental hopefully Spurs may acquire a center like or better than Tim because they are the one of the teams that I look up to going to the NBA Finals.
No Duncan? No problem they have Gasol and LA, that two are making the roaster great this season, they are very tough in defense and it is not a surprise that they have a better record now in the west. They will surely route again the warriors if two will face again.

They are playing in a different level now.

The sayings of "When someone/something is passing by or gone, something new comes and it becomes better." is not true.

Because no one can never ever replace Tim Duncan with his position in the team.

Even though there are a lot of new players such as Gasol and La, Spurs without Tim Duncan is still different, it made a legacy.
Indeed. Not taking anything away from gasol and aldridge but it's entirely different when you know there's duncan on the floor. He brings so much, not just statistics, but so much inspiration not just to his teammates but to the game itself
9710  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: November 01, 2016, 10:25:40 AM
People are greedy and lazy. Period

The casino advertisements are designed to hit you in these weak spots so that your greed and laziness are manipulated and you enter a casino with hopes of having "fun". As you keep on gambling the tables are turned and you end up getting addicted and losing all your money.

Well as much as i'd like to disagree with you bro, you're kinda right there. Those people you got broke, went in dent and even had their personal lives affected most likely were moved by thinking that gambling would be easy money for them and that they could earn more without working hard.
9711  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your reason to gamble? Fun or profit? on: November 01, 2016, 10:22:59 AM
People should not enter casinos with the hopes of becoming millionaires. Gambling should only be done for entertainment purpose. Everyone has heard how people have been ruined by their own greed and ended up as beggars while the casino owners become real profit makers.

Indeed. I think that's one of the mistakes people make when they enter gambling sites and casinos. Expecting to win easy money is one very dangerous aspect. Gambling is fun especially if you're playing a preferred gambling game but thinking about earnings would involve other types of emotions aside from happiness and that can possibly lead to something we wouldn't like
9712  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why trading is better than gambling? on: November 01, 2016, 10:18:38 AM
For me, trading is having a higher chance to make money as compare to gambling. One of the best example is that gambling will likely to lose due to house edge, but by trading and investing in casino, you are likely to win due to house edge is now on your side.

I prefer to choose trading either, because in trading it requires skills and luck that is why, I am becoming more trade with it. But in gambling it only requires luck and few skills so I like more trading. But there are times that I am earning more with gambling rather than with trading and there are times vice versa also.
Well both are playing with risks so there rally is a chance that you can earn more with gambling. However, in general, the risks in gambling is far greater than when you trade. An experienced trader sometimes will earn a pretty good amount everyday.
9713  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can gambling be profitable in long term ? on: November 01, 2016, 10:05:33 AM
Yes I think so, but it will be a strange thing. If you get a long of lucky, you can get a profit of gambling in long term. and maybe it is just one from one million gambler who have a luck in long term. Or I can say it is just about your luck. like many people said, Gambling is a game of luck. There is no the best gambler.
Well, consider your self as a gifted person if you are a gambler who were able to do win in the long run, not most of the people can do that and when that is not only luck you can make that consistently and you do not have to work anymore for a job that pays only less for more hours spent.
I still think it depends on which gambling game you're trying to engage on and how long and experienced you are already in that game. I've watched a lot of professional poker games and it's curious why the same people are the ones often in the table.
9714  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Controlling your temper in gambling on: November 01, 2016, 10:01:02 AM
It is very hard to control your temper but as soon as you do, you'll be able to have fun while gambling. So if you want to have fun and be entertained, you have to try your best to control yourself. If you don't, you can even destroy your life.

It isn't really that hard if you do only think that you are only playing gamblimg is for entertainment purpose only but of course if you are playing because you wanted to earn then i am pretty sure you would just end up losing your temper

Everyone who gamble wants to win. Even they know that they are going to lose and is just treating it as entertainment, they still want to win when there is a chance and that is why they are so involved in every bet.

And even they are gambling just for entertainment sometimes they are taking the game for real and it is bringing up their emotions very hard. And that can lead into their emotions to be bad and anger. Once you lose, it is going to make you fall down and keep on making you angry so that is really important to control your temper as you gamble.

Yeah i agree it's easy for us here to say that you have to just gamble for entertainment and not for profit but its a lot different when you're the one already playing. Sometimes its almost impossible not to get emotions involved as we react to whats going on at the table
9715  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: November 01, 2016, 09:56:46 AM

You cannot be wrong if you understand gambling as a way of making money as that can be our purpose to gamble. It is our own money so we have the freedom to do what we want to do as long as we are responsible enough to accept the possible loses because gambling is all about winning and losing and more on losing.

Lossing and  more  lossing  on  doing gambling  is  just a  normal thing thats why  we should  be aware  on the things  might   happen  or  result on the  long run when we intend to play gambling.  This  is  not actually wrong  on  playing gambling  as  long we dont compromise  our  money too  much  and   we really should  have  self control on playing  this games.
Yeah , the only wrong on playing gambling is when you let yourself be addicted on gambling and all your money goes into gambling ,obligations to your family time for them are gone .It is also similar on controling yourself not to get addicted .too much is bad just make your life with your family balance nothing will bad on it.
people should be fine in gambling if they really knows their limit , don't gamble too much that you can't afford to to lost and simply responsible when you gambling. however greedy are the thing make gambling turn wrong , it's indeed human nature but if you could control over it yeah nothing to worry .
Well yeah gambling is pretty much safe when you know how to be disciplined while doing it. Too much gambling can and will cause addiction and will take up a lot of your time and money that can be spent in things that matter more.
9716  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: is gambling fix your life? or wreck your life? on: October 31, 2016, 05:27:46 PM
Gambling fixed my life, before I am a sports arbitrager, I lost money, I was always all-in my bankroll, and the result was terrible, I did bad on sports betting. Last year, I became a sports arbitrager, and I bet with sure bets. In the end, I made profits, and covered my previous huge losses.

That's a good recovery for you mate. For some gamblers may not be able to recover their loses but still keep gambling and that's when to start ruining their life. It's really important that you play smart in gambling and have some luck.

That is very great to hear that. I have heard of sport arbitragers but how do you manage to find sure bet? It is not easy to do that. Do you have a system or software that help you scout for these sure bets?

Yeah its good to hear that we have those kinds of stories that showsnat least some benefit from gambling. Although compared to the number of lives gambling addiction has wrecked, i think yours is a special case
9717  Economy / Economics / Re: WILL BITCOIN BE USED BY ALMOST EVERYONE IN 2022? on: October 31, 2016, 04:54:10 PM
This question is too optimistic.
But I am pretty sure every internet user will be using or have used bitcoin at least for once. And its great enough.

This will be a great thing if every internet users will be using bitcoin in the year 2022, this must be the OP's topic because non-internet user will never have an access to bitcoin and it's network at this point and maybe until 2022 unless bitcoin network can be broadcast to other medium that does not require internet to connect.
It's not a good news because it will not take place, the prediction or speculation is very unrealistic and it does not make any relevant basis on the past and with the current situation, by looking at the data you can tell by having a close estimate on the total users of bitcoin now.

If you do that you will understand why I say that the prediction is too unrealistic and I think it will never happen that everyone will use bitcoin because not all people are primarily living online.

I agree with you there dude it's a bit unrealistic even if we talk about several years from now. Too good to be true for bitcoin users like us but it's far-fetched to be a reality
9718  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: what fun in GAMBLING? on: October 31, 2016, 04:34:57 PM
very true gambling is fun especially when we get the win. but when we get the defeat of gambling sites. that's where we know how to lose in gambling Tongue

Fun is in the playing, or at least you need to find fun while you are playing. Winning and losing are just parts of every game, not just in gambling.
I hope you understand me what I'm talking you, how else to enjoy in gambling.
When I play I find fun in the game, in trying to find perfect strategy, to rise bets in right moment, or in trying to be smarter then others in PvP games. It's how I play, and normally sometimes I win sometimes I lose, that is something that every game hasm
It is not the same fun that we will experience in gambling since when we play we do not just rely solely in luck, we tend to make methods and test it every time we gamble and for me that simple act makes the fun already as everyday we are figuring out how to win in gambling despite of the fact that our advances is lower compared to the house.

There's no fun in losing if you did not try hard enough..

There is really no fun in losing especially if you have no strategies and pre-planned bets in place. Because if you have a pre-planned bets, you will gladly accept losses because it is part of the game and your strategies - you just then go and play with another session if you lose on the current session.
and it's really not about winning or losing when it comea to gambling, the fun there is when you're playing. Doesn't matter what the result is but when you're gambling there's this excitement that always builds up when you're waiting for the results
9719  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting on sport = gambling? on: October 31, 2016, 04:04:03 PM
For me, both are same things, Because the way is same and give us result it is also same, I mean we use money and it is depend on our luck, many time we lose and some time we win, But the different is people more than play sports betting instead of other gambling, because many people like it than other gambling. 
They are not both for me because they are one, what the OP is trying to tell is that sports betting is gambling? Big question for him but actually a simple answer if you do not complicate things. Any game that involves money as bet is always gambling therefore sports betting is gambling.

Yeah that's correct actually sports betting is just one type  of gambling. It's like poker, or dice or lucky 9. Difference is just that sports betting doesn't rely mainly on luck unlike most gambling games but as you've said, anything that has wagers can be considered as gambling
9720  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin worth to you or not... on: October 31, 2016, 12:15:16 PM
Definitely worth it for me because now the bitcoin's value is continuously rising and earning btc is very enjoying. It gives me extra income in my job so i have my own money to spend from earning btc. My whole salary is for my family and btc is for myself.

It is obviously worth for all those who are earning it in their free times and earning some extra income beside their day jobs, or for the ones who are not having any jobs and still earning money from bitcoin just like me, so it is the only hope for me for a better financial state as a student.
We have our own satisfaction and we can make money from the slowest to the biggest amount of money depends on our capacity here. I think we are all here because we believe bitcoin is worth for us, and I believe bitcoin is money therefore it is obvious since we love money.

Yeah bitcoin has proven this year that we can reap benefits simply by holding on to it. Even for those who have a job, i have a job but i can very well say that i believe in bitcoin enough to consider going full time.
