I was tempted to bet on Toronto Raptors against Pheonix Suns but I kept it to myself and did not place a bet. Got lucky on that. Raptors were leading till the 4th quarter and then had an abysmal 4th qtr. They just couldnt stop Suns from scoring and were not strong enough to produce some reply's to suns barrage of scoring. In the last qtr Suns scored 33points while the home team(raptors) scored 18.
Good game by Eric Bledsoe, he definitely make the Raptors "bleed" at home. It's 2-0 I guess, could not believe the Suns made 2 straight wins now and they are coming from a win with NYK on the road. This team keeps surprising us and it's good to back them now since they are underrated underdogs most of the road games. Next game would be a home, hosting the Minny Timberwolves, let's see if they can continue the streak, they should do better at home.

I'll watch San Antonio - Cleveland game, it's the best of the night. I wonder what Spurs do in Cleveland without Tony Parker and Pau Gasol. Dejounte Murray will start as PG and David Lee as C. They may use smaller rotation but Kawhi and Aldridge should dominate the scoring weight. Before All-Star we'll see Kawhi vs. Lebron, it would be a finals match-up this year. It'll be exciting to watch.
This game can also be a preview of possible finals as san antonio also eyeing for another finals appearance its an interesting game to watch let see if cavs can take advantage playing in front of their fans and without parker and gasol.
It was a very intense game, as usual, we see another Lebron James who cannot close games relying only in outside shooting. They could have won the game since they have the last possession in the final regulation but the should did not fall. Good game for the spurs limiting the cavaliers in OT and I see Leonard going to own Lebron if they will possibly meet in the NBA Finals. Let's make this happen.
Probably a good match up, I like to see that happen too as I am spurs fan.

There squad now is much better compared to the past season. What might possibly happen is they will only be having a problem to win in the West Finals against the Warriors and if they are lucky enough then it should be an easy opponent for them to battle the Cavaliers in the NBA Finals.
9783  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Great way to make Bitcoin! on: January 22, 2017, 12:27:29 PM
there is many ways to make more bitcoin like as gambling and trading there is a lot of people earning bitcoin in huge amount in short time through trading and i think trading has lowest risk than other investment.
Disagree, trading only has less risk than an investment if the investment is a scam of some type, investments can be very safe, look at casino investments, every month you will earn a small amount, there is the risk of losing, but since you are in the side of the casino, you have better chances to earn money than with gambling.
I'm sorry friend but I am disagree with you, I think the risk of gambling is really big because no knowledge that can help us to always win. My logic said that gambling site just take their profit from their customer, so I think joining ICO is the great way to make bitcoin.
This is also a risky method, but I consider it a less risky method than gambling, in fact. In gambling, it is difficult to have greater control over situations, since you can not control your luck. In ICOs, on the other hand, there is a lot that can be studied and, depending on your analysis, you may be able to choose an investment with high potential and acceptable risks.
But still the ICOs are not the losing way like gambling. In gambling a person lose everything with a few clicks or within a shorter time without coming back but In ICO a person from the beginning can imagine that what will happen next and can go back especially in those ICOs which have escrow.
You are right ICOs are much beneficial ways to make bitcoin profit if a person have knowledge about crypto currencies and invest in some legit and high potential coins. But nowadays I think spending our money in other place rather than bitcoin is not better because the price of bitcoin is increasing faster.
We are at $900+ now, it's a good price movement up and that will be heading again to $1,000 in the coming days. This current price upward movement would affect the altcoins price as well, so I would not go with altcoins until bitcoin's price will be stable again.

Immediately stop gambling now, if you find it difficult because you really addict. I suggest to spend leisure time with positive activities eg charity, prayer, and social work.
To quit, we need support from our family to be able to overcome addiction. its not really easy to quit what you are used to do but if you are really dedicated i know there is no impossible. i was once addicted too and manage to quit playing. now i rarely play to have some fun.
That means quitting is possible, and probably you are right that your family is the best people who can help us to get out from this addiction. It's a worst gambling experience when you are in addiction and instead of enjoying it, you do it because you need it to serve your addiction and at the expense of your hard earned money. You cannot maintain to follow the principle anymore to bet what you can afford since you already turn to indiscipline person.
9785  Economy / Economics / Re: Does the Price of Bitcoin Matter? on: January 21, 2017, 12:17:15 PM
Measuring price of Bitcoin is indeed important to show its potential. As there are still many people who either heard about it but are not investing but as the price is the best influence for the people who are planning to invest i think that the price really matters alot. Measuring price of Bitcoin is indeed important to show its potential to ppl who are not using Bitcoin yet.
But I agree, once you purchase you hardly care of its price I believe in holding Bitcoin.
The thing is, majority of the people who are using bitcoin does not care to invest, they use bitcoin to use for online transaction by spending on something, it could be for product, services, or whatsoever. The price is the measurement of value and it's every important, but a good price will make bitcoin more popular and it represent a strong asset and a progressive economy.

Looks like the Warriors are making their revenge now, in the 4th quarter already and the lead is still 20 points, rockets are dead already, they will not gonna make a good rally in this one. The line is very easy for the warriors backers, let's get this win tonight warriors fans.

The Golden state warriors won this game the game ended 125 points with good team play with Warriors players. However, Rockets also did a great job but it is not enough to get this match but Warriors are really into the feeling and has the spirit of getting this game. And their next game with Orlando is going to be another win for them.
Golden state warriors owned the rockets, they will continue to embarrass them in front of the home crowd. That is a big statement coming from the Warriors and a payback of embarrassing them at home way back. I guess the trend will continue, we will be seeing more and more routed opponents by the warriors. Just won a bit on this game, good day. Grin
9787  Economy / Economics / Re: What will be our new world currency? on: January 21, 2017, 07:44:02 AM
In coming bitcoin will be used by money people from different of the world because bitcoin does not belong to specific country, bitcoin has already proved that it is global currency where many people keep using it, buying it, selling it. Once we get awareness to the society than most will start using it.
In fact it is already in used in major countries, what makes it not yet that popular is due to the limited number of users when compared to the potential users of bitcoin. Don't worry, just be optimistic, the future looks good and as long as we do support bitcoin, the adoption will increase due to effective spreading of awareness to them.
9788  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: January 21, 2017, 07:35:49 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?

Addictive is not the word I choose, I would call us passionate lovers, we need gambling just as we need air, the thrill that comes with it and there again for me is a calming effect that Brings with it. For me gambling is like a girl, and for whom we are just passionate, sometime we loose sometimes we win. But we never stop gambling. It's what keeps us going sometimes. That's my theory on this.
Probably you do not need that as air, it's part of your wants and air is our need. We can live without gambling but we will die without air, see the big difference. If you are that attach with gambling then I would say, you will not gonna end up better as there's a good chance your life will be wreck.

9790  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you can control your self when playing gambling? on: January 20, 2017, 02:12:46 AM
Most of the time i would say i have very good self control when gambling. I mainly play poker so you really have to be patient and know when your beat. Some folks let pride take over at the table and end up losing quite a bit when they know they should have let the hand go.
It's good to have control no matter what game you are playing, it's the most important attitude to have as a gambler. Look, some are having big bankroll because they are positive that it's important to win decent amount but when the lack of discipline strikes specifically lack of control, things will change and losing will be easy since you cannot manage your bankroll very well.
9791  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I quit trading on: January 20, 2017, 01:52:29 AM
I'd just keep the BTC though..
Price is still going up!

yes just trust your self on trading and thanks to you for updating me that price pumping right now. Trading is a matter of fact that you controlled your own money by your prediction or instinct that how you will keep flow of money that you holding on your hand that can make a cause of positive and negative result, like this bitcoin just buy low and sell it high when the days come.
to quit trading is not the right solution, i think if you want to become a good trader you need to have strong decision power and only then you can make a good profit in trading. therefor you need to change your strategy and not to quit gambling.
The op dedicated 2 full years to trading and he did not make any profit out of it he could have been better just holding his coins, so there are times where the right thing to do is to give up and move on.
What exactly he is doing is he is day trading and that needs great skills to succeed but his skills is not enough to give him profit so he gave up. You are right, it's better to hold bitcoins if you are not good in day trading, for sure the price will increase as what we are all speculating.
9792  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: January 20, 2017, 01:40:23 AM
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.
9793  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: January 19, 2017, 06:46:40 AM
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.
9794  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit Gambling for Good, think for your loved ones on: January 19, 2017, 06:34:11 AM
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.
9795  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.
9796  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.
9797  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.
9798  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.
9799  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.
9800  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.
