After making the money double. You should take your intial money, thats what I do. And the main thing greed, is the reason for losing money in gambling. You should set a target amount and work with a plan. After getting your targeted amount you should not take any chances. Good luck
I agree with you . there should be a limitation in the gambling game. never use all the money we have, because most of the money should be saved for use when we were not lucky in playing gambling. there should be a division of around 50%, I use this formula to survive in a game that is very risky.
It is not the responsibility of these gambling sites to care for our money they have to run their business and we have to care for our money. We know about our budget and we will be able to care for that if we will be sensible and will think about our life.
Gambling is not a place if we are targeting to gamble and thinking about the winning profit..  because gambling is made for fun not for spending our money for nothing. but if you are just looking for fun you should gamble that you can afford to lose.. if not better to don't gamble instead save your money for your future purposes.

But why to keep on loosing money for the sake of fun, you can do many other things to have fun and there are many other places apart from gambling where you can have fun where you spend money and get something in return in the form of entertainment or happiness or satisfaction of spending money so if I have to have fun then I will never gamble but will try some other methods.

I do understand people that are losing money for fun.  This is also the same as watching tv or going to theme park.  Instead of doing such activity, a person just wanted to play gambling games thinking at least his fun will give him back some profit if he wins.  You can also consider gambling games entertainment if you are enjoying the game.  It is no difference in playing golf or other expensive sports game.
That's the challenge or the risk in it when you are playing for fun or profit. It's somewhat a luxury that you hope to get some profit back when you play. Sometimes there are game points also when playing that you can possibly redeem an item or something.

Is it better to save money or invest it?

I'm more interested to invest with the aim of developing wealth.

Investments make your money work to make more money without you having to bother.

Visible fun? Of course. All you need is the ability to set aside monthly income, instead of immediately spending it for short-term purposes, as well as the ability to choose the right investment instruments.

Investment is always better than saving provided you are able to find a reliable source of investing. Most bitcoins investments end up to be scam and hence for that reason , saving can be more profitable with no loss of coins.
yes no doubt that  investment is the best option, but i think those people who do not have any experience in investment and if they have fear to lost money in investment then they should save their money and not to invest it anywhere.
I think everyone is afraid to lose dude but how that person deal with it is also very important. saving is also important not just for a few people but for everybody also
No one would want to lose, who wants that anyways? Be careful on where you put your money into because there would be a lot of things that could make you lose your money.

If scientist were able to make a solar cell with at least 70 percent of efficiency, It would solve the entire energy problems of the entire world. Cars will all switch to solar powered cars which will eventually help tackle global warming.

No. That will not solve the problem. They need to design solar panels which needs the minimum maintenance (especially in the desert areas such as Sahara, this is a big problem). Also, they need to increase the lifespan of these panels. Then they need to design special batteries, which can store the electricity generated by these panels.
It's not that simple, some companies that manufacture those kinds of solar cells has already achieved 70% efficiency, but the problem is, if they mass produce it, it's going to be really expensive and not practical for people to buy it. It's being researched still and hoping that a favorable material would overcome the challenges the solar panels it's facing.
9924  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Renewable Energy on: March 27, 2017, 12:56:20 AM
I really agree on renewable energy, it's really saving our planet and reduce the global warming but of course this need a lot of research and cooperation from all people and we know one day we will run out of energy source so we cant depend on those energy source, but some people simply don't want to know, they will only realize when the problem already at critical point, it is really important to keep on developing this technology so we will save our earth

The main problem with renewable energy is that it is not very affordable. Look at solar panels and wind power turbines. They cost a lot, and they require constant maintenance. The only affordable renewable energy source is Uranium. 
The reason why renewable energy is expensive, it's because the materials used to manufacture those kinds of devices are hard to get meaning more price will come from that. Solar panels have different specifications also and that comes with a price and how much energy you could store in your storage. That's one of the problems of renewable energy, how to store it.
Why store this energy, if the endless defect of solar and wind energy will be generated constantly, so you will need to consume it. And now a very large selection of materials for the creation of such a station. And the prices depend only on the materials themselves.

Use your brains. How can solar panels generate electricity during the night, when the electric consumption is the highest. Similarly, how can the wind turbines generate electricity when there is no wind? That's why we need to store the electricity.
Maybe he just doesn't know what the problems that renewable energy is facing and why it's not easily accessed or installed to some countries. It's still being researched on what kind of material would be the best fit for the efficiency. That's the challenges of the renewable energy, and that's what the cases are, and they are tackling the problem head on.
9925  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What would you do with your winnings? on: March 27, 2017, 12:52:17 AM
There's a lot of things that I want to purchase for my own good when I will earn a lot of in gambling.

But since the payment will be in bitcoins probably I'll just hold most of them and will wait for the price to get up higher.

And once it's done then I'll sell them for fiat.
It's just not from gambling you can earn from, you can also do it for services that you can do and that's going to help you earn more. When bitcoins price is up, you're going to get more from it, probably.
9926  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: what is definition gambling in your mind? on: March 27, 2017, 12:46:26 AM
For me gambling is just for fun, gambling can't be an investment thats because you can lose all you have when gambling and it's hard to earn money when gambling. Investment is more like investing money for the future which you know you can earn money our double/triple your money in many years, if you invested in a legit company. Gambling is just short of game which the percentage of you winning is low. For me gambling companies make sure you lose when playing thats because they also want to earn money so they make you lose and they earn in your money. If you ever win in gambling thats in your luck. They want to attract more people to gamble and tell other people that they won and etc.. So they can attract more customers. So gambling is just a game.  Smiley Smiley
That's the definition I agree with. It's not just really serious in a while playing but it's all about fun and games because if you don't, you are just going to be emotional when you lose, and that's not a good thing because you might affect people around you. You are going to affect them directly by your emotional state that's not great.
9927  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you Rich from Gambling? on: March 27, 2017, 12:38:20 AM
No one will make him self brcome rich from gambling unless you already rich and you're about to make your self more richer once you have a million of capital to gamble maybe there are chance that you could take a good chance to win a million of profit too like what im always watching on a tournament poker millions of bets are made by pro players
I will have to disagree with that, people has luck and they can be very lucky to be rich in gambling, I'm always fascinated by the way how people
win in lottery, that is also gambling IMO and it's a life changer if ever you will win and that was proven to be real which makes your statement irrelevant. The only reality I know is that of a big number of gamblers who tried their luck to win, only few people have the success which would
result to making a gambling operator profitable in the long run.
There are really lucky people that won a large amount of money from betting whether in sports or in casinos but that's only maybe a 0.5 - 1% of people that play in casinos and some of the profits come from the 30% addicted to gambling which you will always see in the casinos. It's going to be really hard, there are success stories shown but they do not show how many the failure stories are.
9928  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: March 27, 2017, 12:33:05 AM
As long as people crave money and see gambling as an easy to making money, People will always gamble.

Not really, there are many people that gamble and everyone have their own reason for that. My own reason is to have some fun while getting some low profit while some other want to get more money. Various of reason cause addiction however depends on their reason to gamble, the addiction might not be as bad as what others think
sorry to say but i thin those people want to play gambling for making fun are just making excuse otherwise there is no fun or enjoyment if you have not invested money, or if you are not making money from gambling.
Well, there's always a part that gambling should be profitable because you know, people want to have benefited from it. Maybe the rich people can only say that they are playing for entertainment because they don't need to profit from it anymore, they just want to cash out and it's going to be okay if they lose, they are rich. It's addicting because of the feeling they get when they win, and that has something to do with our brains.
9929  Other / Archival / Re: Which one is more risky? Skill-based gambling or trading? on: March 27, 2017, 12:23:53 AM
I feel that both the options are of same risk.
But if you have a deep understanding then skill based gambling is not riskier than skill based trading. Trading with proper skills is more profitable.
Gambling is always a risky thing in my opinion, people don't stop gambling at a certain moment, they always crave for more and while doing that they loose more.
Both are risky and I agree with that but you can minimize the risk if you will only focus on one that you really love to do. Skilled based games
are not solely based on luck although it's part of the recipe to win in gambling, you can be a poker player and make a living on it but like every
other journey, you need to train yourself to be successful and if you learn from your mistakes every time you commit you'll mature and probably succeed.
yes that is right to say that both are risky, but to me i think skill based gambling is more risky.
The most of the gambling comes from the player itself, if you cannot control what you are doing, then you are pretty much a loser by that time because it's going to be a downhill ride if you continue that way. You make yourselves satisfied with what you have, and that can probably help you in skill based or even in lucked based.
9930  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Giving up gambling is not easy on: March 27, 2017, 12:18:13 AM
Gambling addiction is addicted, and people failed many times to quit it, that is why casino owners are extremely rich, but gamblers are not.

Addiction of anything is not easy to give up the main problem is that people always want to get back their money so they chase their loses and with these attempt they helped the owners to get rich and more rich.
Everything can be easy if you can then do it don't be negative and naive on your self people if they can you can do it also quiting and stay away from gambling is not that hard try to attempt not to go in every gambling website.
i think it is easy to say but difficult to apply. i think those people who are addicted to gambling then it s very difficult for them to stop and give up gambling.
That's the challenge of everyone that is trying to quit on something. The struggle of knowing that you are used to something, that has become part of you suddenly needs to go away because it's somehow destroying you. It's really difficult for people, and I hope they can overcome it with their will. It's a part of life too.
9931  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you feel shameful for being a gambler? on: March 27, 2017, 12:15:19 AM
I won't say that I'm shameful for being a gambler but what matters for most of the people here including me, is that we are shameful and afraid to be a loser. That's what is the most reliable and appropriate word to say in gambling. But when it comes for being a gambler, we shouldn't be ashamed on it because we know that luck is letting us win.
to me i also do not feel shame to play gambling, because i play gambling in a limit and with strategy and which really prevent me from losing such a big amount of money and for which i can feel shame, so i am really confident to play gambling without feeling any shame.

Everyone has their own limits and own strategies in order to win what they need to. It's also better to account what amount of money you can handle to lose so it won't be such an emotional threat to you.

Hi Lutpin, any updates on the payment ?
I saw the wallet got filled up again and I think he's just not online yet. I hope he can get on it soon.

I guess manager Lutpin is going to pay us double for the upcoming payment when this week is done. So there's nothing to worried about, they are busy people that got a lot of work load.
Has that been done here or in any other signature campaigns? I guess so too.

9934  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What would you do with your winnings? on: March 24, 2017, 12:05:11 AM
I've read here a lot about "Gambling doesn't make you rich" So I thought about it, and it does make sense. So what do you feel about gambling then? Just entertainment? I think that's not everybody's mindset.

In the back of my mind, I want to be rich but not because of gambling. But when I gamble, I still always want to win. So when you always win, you become more rich and more risk will be involved. Anyway, if I would earn a winning bet that would have a lot of profit from, I would withdraw the initial bet or the bitcoins I deposited to get it back, then still gamble.

If you would have a winning bet that would give you a lot of profit, what would you do with it?
If ever I have a winning bet and give a lot of profit, the first thing I am going to do is I will segregate my winnings and put it all in my bitcoin wallets then hold it.
It's a good thing to hold onto bitcoins, it's like waiting for the opportune moment to exchange it with fiat currency that we have today (if that's your aim) but anyway, probably, the price of bitcoin will go up this year because I have observed that it's in the range of balance with the price, it steadies within $1000 range and hoping that would stay.

We must start with the proper education of children and improve the economic situation. Maximally reduce the use of internal combustion engines, do not burn plant waste.
It shouldn't stop right there. Education is probably the key essential part in understanding but the main thing, I think, is to show them what is CURRENTLY happening in our world. How it affects the world, in the long run, the part where there are small things that can be done and because of the lack of understanding and knowledge, they don't do it. Something like that.

Maybe you simply picked the wrong section for such a discussion.  Many don't venture into the off-topic area.
Move your post to politics and society -  you'll likely get a response in that section.

Thanks for the advice. Just moved this topic here and looking forward to responses, really interested in these things.
9937  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you can control your self when playing gambling? on: March 21, 2017, 02:47:06 AM
I'm usually able to quit before I lose too much. It's hard to stop sometimes because you want to try to get it all back, but you have to stop at some point and realize that the house usually wins.
I think it's all about being disciplined and probably knowing when to stop because it might eat your balance up. It's almost always the casino wins because of the house edge, and probably your patience will get out of hand, and you want to win something then, in the end, you're still going to lose. Just be happy with what you have and be smart.
9938  Other / Off-topic / Re: Is it possible to buy steam keys for cheap? on: March 21, 2017, 02:40:48 AM
It's somewhat sketchy when someone tries to sell you something that is really high priced and sold to you at a low price. I haven't bought anything that touches any of that because there might be something fishy that could get my steam account banned or something. I don't know, there are a lot of people reviewing their services so you could see that's it's okay but I still wouldn't try either.
9939  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Renewable Energy on: March 21, 2017, 02:34:53 AM
It just seems that there are no people interested in how to help the world knowing that we are destroying our planet. I wanted to have a healthy discussion about what can we do even if it's a little thing to help the environment.

This topic reminds me of Wolverine. I recently watched Logan, and I think that it would be fun at the start, but in the long run, it's going to get boring, maybe you can get tired of adjusting to the people around you and you will get used to getting hurt because all of your friends will probably die and that's a sad thing to see.
