Many new gamblers come to gambling place or online gambling because of curiosity.
Especially when they know crypto they will try to gamble as there's a lot of gambling sites in the space.
When I was new, I was curious about dice and I really enjoyed it because I haven't played it outside crypto and until now I am still enjoying it.

Yes, that happens too with me. I heard from my friends that playing gambling was so easy, and we only need to have some coins, play any game we want, and wait for the result. For me, curiosity take someplace before I knew to gamble.

They are not thinking about enjoying, fun, or even making money from gambling. But soon, after they come over and over, some of them decide to make money from gambling, which is very difficult to do because they need to have luck. But some of them decide that gambling is only to have fun and to enjoy the game because they know that winning in gambling games need luck.
If they are not enjoying, they would not be playing it, the fun is always there when you are still playing, only when you loss you will feel the sadness or you might regret on losing your money.

But as you keep gambling, you learn and you get matured and eventually you understand your real chances.

I tell you, based on my experience, when I was new I was too aggressive but as I learn due to my experience I became more realistic and become more ready of possible loses.

We will not be enjoying the game if we lose a lot of money. I know how it feels because I already got those experiences and have many times to get lost.

But that will not stop me to gamble, but I am trying to learn to control myself, so I don't have to lose a lot of money. There will be a time for new gamblers or us to learn from our mistakes so we can be better people when we play gambling.

I don't agree about the curiosity to be the reason why new gamblers gamble online because the convenience level of gambling in the kitchen, home, anywhere at ease while no one will disturb or suddenly broke into a fight and the cheap level of online gambling, is the reason why new gamblers choose to gamble online than using physical casino etc.

No problem if you do not agree because maybe you will have your option. But for me, curiosity will be the reason I knew gambling, and although right now, I don't use much money in gambling, the curiosity has already change into enjoying and fun, and not for money. For the crypto gambler, gambling can be a way for them to playing gambling without coming to the gambling places and meet many people. They can play crypto online gambling from every place they want.

They did that because they want to make money from the addicted gamblers, and they don't think that the user needs to be limited. They are free to make secondary accounts in that gambling site so they can use it to gamble with another coin. And that will be the responsibility of the addicted gambler not to get deeper on that gambling site, and they need to limit themselves. But unfortunately, the addicted gambler doesn't know that, and they still trying to register with the new account and use the other coin to gamble.

If we consider earn bitcoin as some goal, or something else altogether, we must have the following:
Work, the effort to succeed, and the ability to cope with the environment.
These are the three basic things to be successful. And most of all it refers to things like bitcoin.

I guess that three basic things will be needed in all jobs and not just in the crypto world because if we don't have one of those three things, we cannot reach our goals in the long term. So make sure you can have all of those things so you can get what you want, and reaching your goals will be wide open in the future. But many of us don't have one of those three but we still hard work to achieve our goals and maybe we need longer than we can expect because we don't have one of the three things. But I am sure that every people will learn from a different way so they can have those three things to help them to reach their goals.
9905  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How Informed is Your Country's Police About Crypto? on: November 17, 2019, 11:24:16 AM
The awareness level of law enforcement about crypto in your country is not too high as the crypto is not yet become legal in here. I think most of the police here don't know about crypto and only ordinary people who know crypto. Maybe if my government approves crypto as to be the new payment method, that will make them learn more so they can understand what the crypto is. Besides that, I think many of them will catch people who use crypto for illegal things because so far, the police are caught people for money laundering.
9906  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Trade Bitcoin - AVOID "Get Rich Quick" Shit Coin Pump and Dump on: November 17, 2019, 10:23:25 AM
People who cannot analyze with the right will get the shit coin at the highest price. They will not have a chance to sell at a higher price in a short time, and that will make them hold for a very long time. But sometimes, the shit coin can give us a profit if we know how we should treat the coin.

You should not think about getting rich in one night in cryptocurrency because if you cannot analyze everything, you will not make a profit. If you are afraid to get stuck at a higher price with the shitcoin, then you should not invest or buy the coin, especially if the coin has started to increase. You will lose the opportunity to buy and sell the coin if you don't have a better internet connection because the pump and dump will need a fast move of the internet connection.

So be careful if you want to buy any coin at the market, make sure you analyze, or you can purchase bitcoin only because the only bitcoin will give you the real profit in the future.
9907  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What altcoins will give in excess of profit in a growing market? on: November 17, 2019, 07:22:16 AM
Guys, let's try to figure out which altcoins can give a huge% growth when the entire cryptocurrency market flies to the moon. I have a friend who bought xem when it cost very very little and earned more than $ 100K on growth, I think that now there will be such coins that our pockets can make rich, you just need to know which projects have a chance, so let's offer each other options Smiley

Your friend was so lucky to buy the right coin so he can earn more than $100k. I am sure this time we will have a chance to make the same when the bull market comes. I think xem will have the opportunity to grow again, and the other low coin price will also have the same chance. But you must search for the potential coin so you can expect to make a huge profit later. Right now, xem is at a very low price so you can buy xem again, so when the price increase, you will make the profit like what your friend got before.
9908  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin investment on: November 17, 2019, 05:20:30 AM
Money investment can be found in various forms, One of them is cryptocurrency. And it must be understood before investing in cryptocurrencies, that investment in cryptocurrencies is full of risk, If you expect instant wealth it's impossible, I agree if the investment must be in several places or types to avoid big losses. So before investing must prioritize knowledge so that investments are given right on target.
the main thing is enough knowledge to get started, if you don't have the knowledge every investment can be dangerous. and crypto has a high level of investment risk, so it's good to know the concept of investing in crypto before you start. because what's at stake is the funds you have

As long as we can deal with the risk, we don't have a problem to invest in crypto. But yes, before we invest in crypto, we need to learn the basics of investing in crypto, so we don't panic if the price is down because, in crypto, the price is volatile. If you decide to invest in bitcoin, you should know that bitcoin will make a big profit in the future so if the price is down, you can buy more bitcoin and don't panic because the bitcoin price will be increased soon.  Maybe you need to wait for a long time to make a profit, but that is worth your time to wait.

I never trust the rating because I don't think that will be a true review or honest review from the website rating. We don't know if they really give the review based on the project utilities or the goals that the project wants to reach in the future. Sometimes we can see that the rating only based on how much money people can make if they invest in the project and not how the project will work or what the project can give to people. I think that is because the project wants to invite more investors, so they used that way and pay more to the website rating so their project will look better than the other project.
9910  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Longest Break You Have On Not Gambling on: November 15, 2019, 12:37:13 PM
Maybe it's about 1-2 months I break from gambling. I don't feel it's too hard to take a break from gambling for a while because I don't addict to gambling, so, at that time, I can quickly leave gambling for some time. But after that, I come back to gambling, but not every week because I want to prevent myself from using my time for gambling only. And when I get a vacation, I don't touch my laptop or browse the internet because that will makes me cannot enjoy my holiday.
9911  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Worst Day of My LIFE - Dice on: November 15, 2019, 11:43:09 AM
Borrowed $1600 from my friend. Apart from this placed gold as collateral and got $250. Altogether with hope of returning the borrowed amount and taking the gold back started to play dice after a long. At the beginning it went good, and when my profit reached $200 started to fail. Once I began to loss I was out of my control. Within minutes everything went out of my control, my mind didn't had the ability to think. I just doubled the bets consecutively. Ended with a loss. Now I was in a situation to repay my friend the borrowed amount. Please don't borrow and spend on gambling, it might give an earning, but that mostly leads to suffering. Cry

A very good suggestion from you. To this day, although I am online every day on a gambling site, but as much as possible I will not borrow money to make bets. Because I realize how dangerous it is that we have started to become addicted to gambling. Winning or losing is meaningless later that there is only a desire to continue playing.

Yeah, that is not advisable to borrow money for anything, not even for playing gambling. We cannot repay the money if we don't have jobs that can give us the money to pay back the money to that person. Related to gambling, when you decide to borrow money for playing gambling, you need to think twice about how you're going to pay the money back because gambling won't give you the win money if you don't have luck.
9912  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to restrain yourself at a small loss and not spend money. on: November 14, 2019, 11:39:47 AM
It often happens that people go out to play a variety of games of chance with a certain amount of money, but in the end they spend everything if they are gone. How to prevent which technique you base yourself on to spend no further. It's hard to just give up, people persistent in gambling that day, so they can't just tell themselves they'll try tomorrow. Why is this difficult? Is it because of greed?
Based on my experienced, i restrain myself just to have a small lost and not spending more money is by limiting and bringing the only amount of money that i need to spend at the casino. By that it could help myself from being greedy and continue to play gambling all night at the casino.
indeed when we are in the game we will be difficult to control emotions and of course, the best way is limit the amount, or bring money that can afford to lose, so we do not spend all the money in one game.

You need to control yourself for not being emotions in gambling because that will be the hardest part to stop gambling. You will face the hard situations if you get lost in some money or win some money because you will say to yourself that the next change will be mine. But if you cannot hold your emotions and leave the gambling games, then you will see another loss in the next game, and that will affect your money.
9913  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Much Money You Need To Win To Stop gambling, Is This Possible. on: November 14, 2019, 10:42:29 AM

Let's say you hit the jackpot

Scenario 1 - You continued to gamble even after hitting the jackpot
  • You lose because of the house edge continuously
  • Regret that you stayed and want to recover those winnings
  • Lose more than you afford to lose
  • Cry even more
This is my scenario when I sold my Bitcoin in early 2018 which I bought in 2015. This money would be enough for all my current needs at that time, but I decided to “beat off” the percentage of the commission for withdrawing from the exchange and as a result I lost almost everything in a month, part in alts the rest in dice.

That is a good lesson for yourself, so you don't do the same thing in the future. If you cash out all of your bitcoin in 2018, I am sure that you will have much money that can cover your current needs, and you can save the money for unexpected things that can happen. I think many people are doing the same as you because we don't expect to see the long bear market happens after the last bull market. But this time, we can be sure to save the money when the bull market comes again.

9915  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Addiction at its Worst! on: November 13, 2019, 12:39:52 PM
Gambling addiction is not like, a cigar or alcohol addiction, but I think it should be clearly emphasized that it plays moderately and at its own risk, as it says in a cigar pack. Gambling addiction occurs if you are a unstable personality, you can easily break your words (eg, go to gamble and spend no more than you planned). People with strong careers have no problem with envy, both with gambling and other addictions. Addiction takes place in a mental disorder, which is not mentally strong and suffers from gambling addiction, it has a difficult problem.

That is why we must have control for ourselves because once we become addicting, we will lose what we have, and it is hard to get it back. With having good control and self prevention from addicting, we will not become addicting like other people, and even we can teach them how to avoid addicting. Yes, addicting is worst because that will make us lose control, and it is hard to cure the addicting if we don't have a strong mind to get out of the addicted.

If I were you, I will do a business out of my own money in gambling rather than retaking a risk playing gambling. Continuing is not always an option for you to have a tremendous amount of money in gambling. Investing is also necessary because it is a life long business, so think critically.

It is better to build a business out of gambling if we can win so much money because, at that time, we will be a billionaire so we can stop playing gambling and get another focus to make more money. Create a new business will keep us busy, so we don't think about gambling again so that we can stop gambling forever, but we could come back to gambling if we have free time. I believe that it is possible if we can win more than 1k million so we can enjoy the money, and we have a new business to live, we can have more time for our family.
9917  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bounty hunters do not need to wait for altcoin season on: November 13, 2019, 12:47:22 AM
Some bounty hunters quit because altcoin market is not in good shape but very few new projects still manage to enter this space in this so called bad time, my point is if new projects can take the risks why not same with bounty hunters? altcoin market of this year is poor no doubt but some bounty projects still become a success

Why waiting for altcoin season?

Because when the altcoin season is coming, all of the coins can increase together. And that will be the chance for the coin or token to increase. That will be the big opportunity for coin and token to get the massive profit, especially for bounty hunters who hold a big amount of coin or token from the campaign. They can hope to sell the coin or token at a higher price. But some bounty hunters cannot wait for a long time to sell their coin or token because they need the money to another thing.
9918  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling as a profession: there's people who live out of gambling? on: November 12, 2019, 07:41:49 AM
Agree with you, a good gambler must know when it is time to gamble and when it is time to stop gambling. Just manage your money for gambling and never cross your limit when you feel you are in trouble just stop gambling for some time then again you can gamble later when you become mentally relax as lose gives stress even if it’s miner lose.

The important thing is they know when to stop gambling because they can gamble anytime they want, but mostly, gamblers forget to know when they need to stop gambling. If you're going to use gambling as a profession, you need many things to prepared or otherwise, you will lose your money, and that will waste time to lose the money many times.

People who want to use gambling as a profession will fail in the long term because if they cannot learn many things about the game, and they cannot control themselves, which will only wait for the time to lose the money.
9919  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Much Money You Need To Win To Stop gambling, Is This Possible. on: November 12, 2019, 06:25:52 AM
Can you involve money for you to stop gambling or a gambler can really stop after he promises that if he wins this jackpot he will stop?
This is for the big-time gambler or those who gamble habitually or even those who have the urge to gamble when they have available money.

I'm not sure about the rest of the people. From my personal experience as a gambler I myself has encountered big losses and the hope of recovering loss keeps me spend on gambling. Personally I believe myself to be a failed experiment on gambling. If I've never spend into gambling I could've lived peacefully without debts. Now all that I spend on gambling is the debt that I have.

I guess many gamblers have a hope to recover the loss in gambling, but they tend to keep playing until now. But to stop gambling, I don't think that we need to win much money because we can stop anytime we want. We should have to realize that playing gambling won't have the biggest chance to make money, so then we can stop gambling. If we see that gambling could only give another loss to us, we need to get out of gambling as soon as possible before another lose will come to us.
9920  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have anyone tried to stop gamblers from losing while they keep on wagering. on: November 12, 2019, 03:38:50 AM
Well i have an experience wherein my friend which happen to be addicted in gambling and as we notice he can't stop in playing because he's reason is that he believes that he can recover it's lost and get more money but it's the opposite he just ruined his own life and suddenly drops in school because of financial problem, we tried to stop him, but when a person gets too addicted whether who attempted to stop him he still not stop and the result is fatal.

That is what people get if he still playing gambling because gambling soon or later will ruin his life, as you said. That will be a sad story, but I hope that your friend can learn from his mistake and try to raise his life. We can help him to get out of gambling forever, but that will need a strong effort from him so he can say NO to play gambling. We can suggest him to do another thing, and maybe he can start to work in real work and make him busy every day, so he will not think about gambling anymore.
