9721  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How did you started to gamble? What was your beginning like? on: February 06, 2017, 12:30:49 PM
Started to gamble when money is not a big factor as well I too was lucky. Later on things got worse when I was in need lost everything as well no backing to play further. But at times used to play with the small amounts got through faucets and signature campaign.
What matters is we were able to learn from our mistakes, usually when we are beginners, we are prone to addiction and due the the entertainment value gambling has brought into our life, we are hooked to it. It was just too late when we realize that we abuse that entertainment and it has resulted to losing of big amount of money.
SO, technically you think you need to gamble more to not become addicted?
I'm sure it's not what he meant, he was just saying the reality of a gamblers journey in this world. There is no denying that we were once addicted, although it varies depending on the gravity of the problem but I am sure, we are in that situation once in our life.
The thing is, if we will not learn from our mistakes, we will do the same mistakes over and over again and you know what would be the result then.
9722  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: February 06, 2017, 12:15:51 PM
Not necessarily, there are people who are desperate in life and they cannot even find a good job that pays them well to live a comfortable life. With this reality, they think gambling is the key for success and it's easy to access and they have seen people who were already successful. I really pity, this kind of thinking, they are ignorant in this world and they really need to learn in a hard way.

People will always be ignorant no matter how you see it. Some people think that this is a good way of making money thus everyone follow this step when they see few actually be rich from this. Some people are actually rich from gambling however most people are ignorant enough to know that most actually lose

Those people that are thinking that gambling will help them are really crazy. Gambling is created for simple entertainment and at the same time for them to earn from those gamblers that can't accept defeat. That's why gambling makes more people into it, when many of us lose from it we can't accept it easily that we lose and we want to get it again.
I believe not all of them, that is because there are few people who can make a fortune from gambling. We cannot deny the fact that profit is the first thing that will come in our mind when we gamble, at least that is how the majority thinks. Although gambling is only for fun, but there are only few people do it that way, most of us seeks for the opportunity to earn while some experience the consequences of irresponsible gambling.

There will be no confusion on choosing the right games for our betting only if we listen into our interests.
Yes, sports betting should be carried out only based on our preferences and not just because of earning opportunities.

Usually trading and gambling will show as it has so much easy potential of earning opportunities, but once we enter, we will find out the dangers of those fields. So, we do not get tempted due to the easy opportunities. Just analyze the opportunities and then involve with them.
The problem is that many users only realize that some people get exceptional results in this, but don't realize that such results have been achieved through much effort. First of all it is necessary to understand the path that must be followed... and to know each step, it's necessary to study all the techniques and possibilities that exist in this.
although it is expecting that one can make more money in sports betting, as there are chance in sports betting to make money but in fact, sports betting is one of the most difficult way of making money, because in sports betting you need to have good knowledge about the team or a player all about his history and many more. while in other gambling you do not need these things because there you mostly depend on your luck.
We have our own expertise of game, sports betting is just one way we can make money if we are a good handicapper. Some can make it profitable for them while some people are losing big in sports betting. It does not matter actually if you lose, sports betting is a very fun game and it will make us more interested in our passion in sports. It is important we know what skills we have and if we cannot be profitable, there is always an option to enjoy it.
9724  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Giving up gambling is not easy on: February 06, 2017, 05:53:15 AM
If you try with 100% confidence and you must stick with your decision, then nothing is impossible. You can easily stop gambling. But here we need more dedication and hard work. I agree it's not easy to give up gambling but if you have self-confidence and you can able to control your mind. It will take some time, but one fine day you will stop gambling completely.

Giving up in gambling is not easy, but doable. If it is still said to be a difficult thing to do, it means they can do. There can not be performed if it has been virtually impossible. You can stop if you already intend heart, and you already have a plan other things you can do to fill the time you gamble. And the most important is the discipline, the discipline not to gamble anymore.
Though it's hard but since it has already ruin your life, you have no choice but to give up and accept the reality that whatever your loses you will not be able to get it back. I guess that would be justifiable and acceptable to stop, than still staying and lose more than what we cannot afford.
Its better to Stop now until you have change to stop playing gambling , It can be worst if you still continue playing gambling and still continue to recover the loses that you get.  Try to focus in other things , It can help you stop playing gambling. It is possible to an addict to stop playing gambling.
I guess that what all addicted wants, but they simply cannot do it easily. With yourself alone, you will not be able to do it since you can easily be tempted again. Depends on how serious the problem is, if that is too serious, you need to be helped either by your family or a professional. There is a healing process on that kind of disease, therefore you should submit yourself for a change you are longing.
9725  Economy / Economics / Re: Best way for steady income on: February 06, 2017, 05:28:43 AM
Well if you want a steady income then you should find a stable job it will be your steady income. And if you have extra money than you can use it for business matters, if you know how to handle business then be it and if you know how to invest and the flow of it then you can. You have a stable job plus the investments or part time jobs.
to get a stable income you can not get out of the business that you create yourself. surely you will get an income that is not necessarily. You must be an employee of a third party to be able to get a steady income
Being an employee is the good way to make a stable earning. Can have additional earning from sources available other than day job. Building a business to make a better earning is good but their should be a good capital investment and hard work to have a stable income.
Everything will have to go into process, having a business is an opportunity that will give you an earning that you want. On the other hard, when you are an employee, you just have to follow orders and you comply with the rules of the company and you will stay and receive a steady income.
Most of us here are employees in real life, and I believe what we earn does not really satisfy us that's why we are here.
We just have to analyze things up, let us no sacrifice something if we are not sure with the journey we will be taking.
9726  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: actual number of people using Bitcoin? on: February 05, 2017, 01:04:10 PM
The number of bitcoin users is 2.5 millions. I found this information couple months ago on the net. But I think during this couple months the number increased. Bitcoin as money and as technology are getting more and more popular and used in daily life.
I can hardly believe in that, there are no more than one million of real users; I personally don't know anyone, except me, who uses Bitcoin, not to speak of alts. Many heard about it but nobody ever purchase it  Undecided
The information we found is just a pure estimate, it depends on us on how we evaluate the data we read, and of course we have to make a follow research as well, that information is vital if you are an investor because the number of users also affect the value of bitcoin from time to time.
9727  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit Gambling for Good, think for your loved ones on: February 05, 2017, 12:49:09 PM
Those who are really addicted will not quit even if they have no money, they will find a way to get money and gamble. To stop gambling for good, one needs sincerity inside of oneself. He need to admit that he have gambling issue, and promise not to gamble again.
If only a promise to self is certainly difficult, it is better to ask for help to other people to supervise. eg if gambling again, it is willing to accept the consequences of such ready cut hands or thrown into the sea.This is necessary in order to stop a serious gambler.
Or if one is in the right mind, i think just realizing what the consequences on their loved ones can be should already be reason enough for anyone, even an addicted gambler, to quit gambling.
Actually it is too hard too think if you're addicted in gambling to quit is very hard unless you realise what happens to yourself .but if you can think about your family or love ones before you got tottally addicted you will have a choice to change and think what they feel on you when you gamble or to continue your hobby .
You will realize in the end once you started to feel you are losing them, our family is very important to us since they are the one who will be here when we have a problem and it gives us unconditional love. Don't allow your gambling addiction will be the reason why your family hates you, once it happened, you will not gonna leave a peaceful and happy life, think of the possible consequences.
9728  Economy / Economics / Re: Best way for steady income on: February 05, 2017, 04:59:42 AM
I think the best way for a steady income is to get a Job ! you don't have to depend on signature campaign every week just to have a stable income , It still best to work in the field , as you go deeper in your specialisation, your steady and growing income will be ready anytime you need it
of course to get a steady income. one of the most realistic way is to get a job. to work in an office you will get a fixed or steady income or salary
That will be the way to start our journey, there is no risk in having a job as you can expect you will be able to receive your salary at the agreed schedule and normally it's a fixed salary. Venturing online is the next big thing you should do, you can do it while you are having a job to give you additional income if you do well.
9729  Economy / Speculation / Re: Sell or wait? on: February 05, 2017, 04:42:32 AM
I think nobody need to tell you to wait, Bitcoin is the new Black  in town. $2000 per coin is coming this year, I don't know when is going to happen but is coming
We can never predict what the price of the bitcoin is going to be, I mean we all though the price is going to go to $2000 when it kept rising but we were all disappointed to see it drop to $700, so $2000 is something that we will not see the near future, maybe who knows but we can only hope.
This time will be different, we will not gonna be disappointed again, the price increase is legitimate so we should be holding our bitcoins now and take his kind of opportunity that does not happen all the time. Who knows, the price might reach to $2,000 this month, and if we buy with the current price, that is exactly 100% increase in one month, not bad..
9730  Economy / Economics / Re: Tell me a secret: any way to earn 0.1 BTC per week? on: February 04, 2017, 03:33:55 AM
You can earn more than 0.1btc per week but it depends upon your skill and how many posts are posted by you per day.

If you mean earning 0.1 btc through signature campaign, its not possible. Even if you are expert in writing articles and replying to threads your earnings through signature campaign ain't enough to earn 0.1 btc. You'd rather prefer to earn USD from freelance job sites than in btc if you aim to earn that much a week.  Campaign participants only earn about $30 a week thats the max i know.
Skills like SEO and people graphic design skills earn more than $200 a week - learn the skills if you want to earn that good.

Yes it is impossible in signature campaign even if youre a high ranking one . If you're an expert on writting articles why not just sell your articles there are many sites like that if you just search them on google although you won't get bitcoin . Freelancing in bitcoin often involves programming, graphics design and such so if you don't have skills like that better earn in USD

Without skills looks hard to earn 0,10 weekly, but if you mix your time with different tasks you can achieve those, im not saying its easy, but is possible but requires a lot work and dedication, captcha services are the way to mix with signature, but the only problem is they paying low ammount and require a lot hours working to get around 5-10 dollars daily.
That's a whole lot of job, you are gonna make your health deteriorate just to earn that amount and in the end you won't enjoy your earning. Actually, we still have to balance our life, we sleep at the right number of hours a day and do some leisure. Working with low paying job will only consume our time and that is not worth for our time, the amount which was targeted is not a small amount, you need money to make that amount of money.
Trading is the easiest way to get that target amount, I guess.
9731  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to Win using martingale system? on: February 04, 2017, 02:09:51 AM
Every single gambling house has a limit on a maximum win per 1 bet, so sooner or later martingale will hit that limit and fail which means failure over the long run. Gambling can't be profitable by definition, because otherwise people would drain bankrolls in seconds, since modern online casinos allow up to 10 bets per second, which is enough to quickly test any strategy. Investment in bankroll on the other hand will have a high chance of returning you profit, but it will be very slow.
Me sometimes i used that stratedgy but it doesn't hit the limit? I only start with small amounts .Yes,i know that limits but the question is how far will you go to hit that and Yes thats true about gambling .
Martingle system is not applicable in some games, so its better to explore try some stratedgy that will work .
That depends on the game you like, martingale could be effective to some users but to others not. Regardless of the game as long as you know the right timing, I guess you will be able to win. However, the win that we are talking here is just temporary because the reality that we lose in the long run will always take effect along the way.

It's best to gamble for entertainment only for most people. It's just too hard to make any money with gambling.
That's the best way to make yourself safe of losing big amount of money, you lose but you enjoy, I guess that is justifiable. Being smart is by having the ability to manage yourself that will be able to follow whatever you aim is, if you go for the money, you have to work hard to have it. Gambling is a risky game that requires deep knowledge to succeed, so we should do what is needed.
9734  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: February 04, 2017, 12:58:30 AM
Orlando Magic will face Toronto Raptors , i will bet for Toronto Raptors to win in this game .
Houston Rockets will face Chicago Bulls , i will bet for Over 210.5 points .
Oklahoma City Thunder will face Memphis Grizzlies , i will bet for Oklahoma City Thunder to win .

Oklahoma City Thunders are coming from some bad results and played(and lost big) yesterday, also Memphis Grizzles is in a winning streak, I think they will win instead.

Also I see an upset(if you consider the odds the bookies are offering) in Houston v Chicago, Houston managed to lose a 20 point 4th quarter lead yesterday, I think things will be harder against Chicago and they may win 
The line seems very obvious, with that kind of line, I guess they are attracting the public to bet on the Bulls but this game will be won by the Rockets with a double digit win. Bulls is good but not as good as the Rockets, hope this time, the Rockets will learn to keep their lead until the game is over.
9735  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online Gambling vs Real Gambling on: February 02, 2017, 06:31:12 AM
legal papers are the only difference between the two, real life casinos has permits while online gambling has none since they operate in foreign lands...  Smiley

Almost every real casino has legal permission however some online casino has permission as well. There are few top sportsbook that operate in UK and they do have legal permission to serve the UK citizen. You might have heard of bet 365, williamhill and so on , they do have legal permission to operate the site
That's why they are popular, but that Sportsbook you mentioned does not welcome countries where online gambling is ban and they have a big minimum bets and deposits. I am not from UK and based on my experience when I tried to sign up to play, it requires me a deposit that I feel I could not afford that time, so I was discourage to play.

Later, I am looking for ways to play, luckily I discovered bitcoin and no restriction per country so I was hooked with it.

Bitcoin was the real reason why gamblers has an ease in gambling, we should support it.

I just wanna know if you guys are supertitious when playing or gambling?

I will admit I'm very supertitious when going to a land based casino. Grin
1. I choose the number of parking slot that I will park. Usually it should have my favorite number 111,777 etc.
2. I don't want to wait for someone if he or she is going to go with in the casino.
3. I wear the same shirt that I won big.

And a lot more..

How about you? are you sepertitious?  Smiley
If you believe that you can win in gambling because of luck then that is what you need to do. People in my family are too superstitious when it comes to gambling but they are older than me, so I don't blame them if they inherit it from our ancestors. In the present time, it's all about math and the more you are expose to the reality, you will have a greater chance of winning. That's my opinion.
9737  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is there any place to gamble IF the Mayweather vs McGregor fight will happen? on: February 02, 2017, 04:55:16 AM
New movements in the Mayweather camp:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buR4rCjqmxQ

""There's only one fight that I want...if I came back to entertain the fans, there's only one entertaining bout...Mayweather vs. McGregor...that's the only fight that I want...keep our fingers crossed and see where we can go from here," stated retired undefeated former pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather, who spoke more about Conor McGregor's recent declaration that he's putting his UFC career on hold to focus on a boxing match with him."

Looks clear to me. Both fighters know the big numbers are on this fight. I think it's happening.

Thats a good news then. However i know things will be in favor of mayweather tho i love to see how mcgregor is going to dump  mayweathers face inside the ring. Or else if mayweather continue to run then maybe after pacman this can be the worst fight in the history totally just a waste of money
He said he came bank to entertain fans, but the big question is, had he really entertained the fans in his entire carrier as undefeated boxer?

I guess this guy talk too much but in terms of entertainment, Mcgregor is doing what it looks like. If this fight will happen, I would not hesitate to go with Mayweather but to tell you people, I am not gonna watch this game live. I came here for the money and I know Money Mayweather will deliver.
9738  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: February 02, 2017, 04:48:27 AM
I don't know people are not betting on Golden state all the time. The warriors on over for their games every game is a sure thing. Only when Curry is out do you have to skip their games like their last one.
The first 3 minutes of the game they had 5 three pointers and did not miss any of them. Most of them by Steph Curry.
That guy comes back and has not missed a step.
I am glad I bet on over 223.5 pts for this game. Easy money.
I should of stuck with my gut feeling and put them on my ticket with the other game of the Cavs over 220.5 pts and not rely on the Celtics to go over for their game. Lips sealed
Why didn't I listen to my brain on that one? Embarrassed
I just do not know. Undecided

Yes, The Golden State Warriors are the best team in the NBA so betting against them is not a good idea.
However, I also love betting against them. Why? because I usually go for the underdogs.
So If I see the odds against them are tempting to put a bet, then I will bet against them. Grin
I'm pretty sure you are tempted with tonight odds for the Charlotte, but mate if ever you were able to pull the trigger, I have a bad news for you. Curry and Thompson just outscored the entire Charlotte squad at the half, I guess it's another easy win for the Warriors and as usual a blowout win.
9739  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can trading be considered as gambling?? on: February 02, 2017, 02:54:06 AM
Definetly Not ,although they are same in risking money but it have a big differential systems on how can we earn and its needed skills to earn profits . Gambling is an easy money easy lose and not requires a pro skills to earn it needs more luck than a trading which is a both and longterm to earn profits and needs analyzation and patience .

It's not that bad if we are going to consider trading as gambling. Because we are risking are money or bitcoins into it. And that's why trading is also gambling together with the risk we are taking, for me. But with your point I understand what you are trying to say and that's why it's also reasonable that trading is not gambling.
It depends on your definition but actually trading is not gambling like gambling is not trading. It is very important that as a trader we have to understand the basic definition of trading and the difference between gambling and trading.

We invested an asset(bitcoin) and trade it for fiat to get the profit we are wanting, we gamble in trading but it's not gambling.

Gambling is a fun and risky activity while trading is a boring activity but more profitable for those who are doing well.
9740  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to Win using martingale system? on: February 02, 2017, 02:41:54 AM
not easy to win with martingale strategy but that strategy is easiest strategy to get profits on my side with that strategy i can get profits around 0.005 btc when i play dice and stop it to prevent any losses, when i use martingale strategy i start with small amount around 5k - 10k satoshi but when i win/lose at 100k i will stop it then repeat it again till get profits, but sometimes i get greedy then lose all my balance with this strategy but often getting win with this strategy
you have a dangerous mindset , think that martingale are the easiest way to get profit.

but it is not true at all , based on my experience i have lost over 4,000 mbtc doing martingale in 2015 ago when i was not mature and responsibly enough to gamble , i lost it all within 1 hour in dice , since that time i never go back to play dice and do martingale , it is worst strategy.
I guess for newbie it is very effective but for us who have tried it will always gonna say it is not effective if you want to enjoy in the long run. Martingale will wipe out our entire bankroll in just a matter of seconds if we are having a bad luck. There are some instances that we can win but since the house edge is always there while we still gamble, we will eventually lose and that hurts us when we lose big amount.
