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.

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.
9803  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.
9804  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.
9805  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.
9806  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.
9807  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.
9808  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.
9809  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.
9810  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.
9811  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you feel shameful for being a gambler? on: January 17, 2017, 03:42:29 AM
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.
9812  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I never made any profits in dice game.. whats is your opinion on: January 17, 2017, 03:17:24 AM
Well if you already feel that you don't get any profit out of gambling in a dice site which is really common why don't you try to gamble/invest in trading well it takes time and it will surely need a lot of wisdom but it will give you a high probability to gain profit on what you invested/gamble , much cooler than playing a dice isn't it?

Well it is really an experience of losing especially to this kind of games or gamble that is really depending on your luck. But the thing is, now, i just gamble in this kind of plays so i can spend my time and have fun. It is really hard to avoid gambling, but you must really try investing or maybe trading. In there you know for sure that you will not lose your money through luck, right?
Of course, your source of income should not be focus with gambling, it's hard job to be honest with you. We have do something like a legitimate investment or job that could give us a stable income to spend for our daily needs and wants as well. Dicing or playing dice gambling should belong to our wants, therefore we should be playing it only for fun and for non other purposes.
9813  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Excuses on: January 17, 2017, 03:03:20 AM
Did you ever gamble with other's money to pay your own debts or otherwise to solve a certain problem through gambling?
I've never do that i think if you don't have money it's better not to gambling moreover to gamble with borrowed money that should be paid, to solve a certain problem through gambling? it was a stupid thing to do it would only add another problem
That's how desperate gamblers think mate, they only think on the positive outcome and they do not ever think of the possible loses that will happen that's why when they lose they are not ready to face their problems and will result to making their lives miserable. Control is very important as you cannot gamble everyday, if you can control yourself when you are losing and winning then it's a proof you matured and you deserve to gamble.
9814  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: January 16, 2017, 01:44:03 PM
Twentieth triple-double this season for Westbrook beating his personal record of 19 triple doubles in a season.
In the clash for the mvp, Harden answered with his 12th triple-double.
Both have led their team to victory.
 
Sacramento 118 vs 122 Oklahoma (Westbrook: 36 points, 10 assist, 11 rebounds)
Houston      137 vs 112 Brooklyn  (Harden:       22 points , 11 assist, 11 rebounds)

The record clearly shows that Westbrook are more dominant in terms of individual performance, but as a team the Rockets are more solid and stronger in my opinion. Most of the winning games of the Thunder against a more decent team came from behind. They have not really dominated especially in games on the road, while the Rockets are really good at home and in the road. One thing that is common to this two is the number of turnovers, let's include it in their statistics as well.
9815  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which gambling sites have 0% house edge? on: January 16, 2017, 01:17:14 PM
Would you trust a gaming site with 0% house edge?

There are running costs as employees, servers, service bills, development, security, support, marketing to mention some.

As someone said, if its not a temporary promotion then the company almost certainly has some hidden costs (wagering limits, withdrawals costs, etc.) or has cut on mentioned areas which can lead to low quality service or scam.

~BitWAB Team~
Be the winner!
Very well said, no site would ever be successful without a house edge, it's there only way to win and be profitable and most likely when a certain gambling sites operate with that kind of rules, for sure it will not last and will just end up scamming the gamblers. My suggestion is better find a more secured gambling sites that a no house edge one but you will be uncomfortable while playing due to the fear of being scam anytime.
9816  Economy / Speculation / Re: I will not Die Untill Bitcoin will reach at Least 50K on: January 16, 2017, 12:39:23 PM
Bitcoin extremely unpredictable. But even my wildest predictions can not talk about that Bitcoin is so expensive in the next 20-40 years. But I could be wrong
It is hard to predict bitcoin price because it is very volatile. Anything could be happen. If so many countries accept bitcoin in the next 20-40 years the demand will rise up very high, so price of bitcoin can reach 50k and even more. I think anything is possible for bitcoin.

Of course the price of Bitcoin will rise to 50 thousand dollars and even higher. But if we wait for this? The average length of a person's life is not so high. Personally, I doubt I'd see such a price. And I'm 25 years old
Yeah but we need more time and more patient to wait the Bitcoin price reach the 50k dollars.So just store some Bitcoins into your wallet and wait that time.

This is something unrealistic and a hope of dream. However one maintains patience I don't think that one bitcoin grows similar to the values of 50K dollars. Right now around 2% of the entire population seems to use bitcoin. The same needs lot time to reach the entire population and make dollar valueless. Also if bitcoin goes as high as 50K sure the value of dollar will decrease a lot.
What is your basis on your speculation? I don't think there's no major relation or effect on the dollar when the price of bitcoin will increase. It only depends on the supply and demand and when bitcoin will make more in demand, it does not mean that the reason is the devaluation of dollar but because of the growing economy of bitcoin where big businesses are adopting with bitcoin.
9817  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: January 16, 2017, 11:54:19 AM
Good strategy. If you only save your money without invest it, you just waste your time without gain anything. I think invest our money in bitcoin is good.
If you invest your money it does not mean you can earn profit all the time there would be a possiblitiy you will lose all your funds. Saving money works often no risk.
Of course. it is a risk in the investment. you can not always be lucky every day with the investment. maybe sometimes you will lose, but prepare it with a backup capital or a good plan to save money
Investment means always risky,because none can assure you that you will get only profit from trading.Sometimes it will make you empty hand or you will lose all your capital at a glance.But sometimes it will make you happy by giving you profit.So trading has ups and down so always use that amount for trading which you can afford to lose.
It's normal in investment and you cannot expect that you will always be profitable, it's a journey you are making and sometimes you go up and down due to the trials along the way. Always remember that your goal is to be successful in the future and you have to work smart and hard to achieve it.

Never give up especially if you are investing in the crypto world as it could be risky but the taste of success  in due time will be worth for our hard work.
9818  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Excuses on: January 16, 2017, 11:39:01 AM
Did you ever gamble with other's money to pay your own debts or otherwise to solve a certain problem through gambling?
Never tried this one, I make sure when I gamble I use my own money. The basic rule that I follow is only bet what you can afford to lose, therefore I do not force the situation when I do not have something to play because if I do it and borrow money from other people, I am not comfortable in gambling and I'm afraid I will lose it and it will give me additional problem.
9819  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling loses and wins on: January 16, 2017, 11:14:06 AM
I have some skills in prediction on the financial market.
And maybe on football games. I have made a lot of money from those two domains of gambling.

Although this can be true to a certain extent, I think I need proof to believe it. But even if it is as you said, I want to ask, for how long have you been doing this? Because I know a man who was winning in online poker two years in a row, about $20,000 per year. That was several years ago. Right now he's undergoing treatment from gambling addiction, because he's losing about $20,000 per year and he can't stop gambling by himself.
What a turnaround of events, that would only prove that we loses in the long run and gambling addiction is the hindrance for success. Imagine, he is winning two years in a row, so I guess he must be thinking that he can do it consistently given the period of time. I am not expert in poker and have no winning experience that kind of big amount, but I guess the problem has started when he was addicted.
9820  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: January 16, 2017, 05:57:01 AM
Houston Rockets will play against Brooklyn Nets and they are heavy favorite for a reason. If we check usual line-ups they are 10 miles better than Nets but today 2 important players also missing from their squad. Jeremy Lin will recover from his injury 20th January. He'll miss a couple of games more. Brook Lopez is officially out tonight. He had 20 points per game this season but they'll rest him tonight. He's a big loss for Nets. James Harden will rule the game for sure.
You just say it perfectly harden dominated again and win this game nets is hopeless also amazing game for westbrook escaping against the kings this two players really showing big, the only one that i lose is the game of lakers its almost a win but in dying minutes piston got lucky good that i didnt play parlay just learn my lesson.
Yeah, it was Tobias Harris who made a three when it almost turns into a shot clock violation late in the 4th. The game was close and I was able to hit the Moneyline for Lakers live with odds 2.20 but they came up short. Not a good day for me today as almost all of my bets loses but I am sure I am due for a win tomorrow. I like the Cavaliers @ +7.5 against the Warriors, and a little bit for Cavs ML.
