Gambling could be risky even for rich people, because may be he will make big bets and lose big sums , so i don't think it's a effective solution.
I know rich are not stupid, they have achieve that level so they should be wise already. Gambling is just for fun for them and they can risk and even lose money that we cannot afford to lose.
Although rich people may be rich ones most likely because they have no money for serious losses in gambling (and gambling is just fun). On the same principle, poor people are poor ones because they can afford big (for them) monies to lose in gambling (and gambling is an impossible job here of becoming rich).
I guess we are talking here about a person getting rich due to gambling, what we are talking is were the rich people still do gambling? The answer should me yes for me because gambling is wonderful and we can experience good time, just focus on the fun.
Of course rich people can gamble, but they are doing that for fun. My point is that rich people would never risk on their wealth to multiply it, and quite another to poor people. Rich people just have no reasons to see in gambling some serious job.

Use your willpower and say: "i will not gamble anymore!"
Do you think that once a gambler always a gambler? No its not. use your willpower
http://m.wikihow.com/Increase-Your-Willpower
Yes, willpower can save us. And also our families can help us. In gambling controlling, ourself is critical, but no one will follow this. All people will become greedy when they are playing gambling. So if we control, ourself means we can come out from this gambling.
As there was told, that is a human nature to see easiest and highest profits in gambling. People more would like do nothing and get from that a lot of money, then do something and get some money. That is the nature. And willpower, about which you have said here, is a will and power to change the nature. Just our willpower, work on ourselves and support of close people will help us in our nature.

Yeah, it is quite a problem, when people make themselves to forget that they can lose and remember only about winnings. That's why often people think that they are unbeatable and then gambling beats them. Everyone must not just know that they can win and lose, but also remember about that (especially about losses).
I think that is human nature when it comes to gambling, because we don't want to accept to ourselves that we are losing yet we tend to play more to win more, we still lose because we failed to track our record.
Still that does not mean that we should accept the nature, saying that we are losing in gambling, but that's our nature and everything OK. No, everything'll be OK, if we start trying to change our nature and habits.

if someone really want to stay away from gambling, i think this is the best suggestion. you will not ever in future will try to gamble.

1. make a bet on gambling site and with all the btc you have and  play until you make sure you lost all. you will fell very bad, you will not be able to sleep few days and than you will make your mind never to gamble again
2. your gov bann the online gambling in your country.
It is a bad idea,you know why? i will explain it to you.
If you lose a lot of btc,you cannot accept the loss right? So you will try to recover it,
what will be the reason for depositing more.
Agree. Why do you suggest to make bets on all btc and then lost them? Maybe it is better not to gamble on money and prevent high losts in a way of submission the losts in imagination: to imagine losts, not to do them.
That is what you called you need to learn the hard way to realize that gambling is not for your because it is bad for you, there are only others that can make gambling beneficial into their life but you are not one of them.
Game of gambling accepted as not game is bad for everyone. There are no lucky ones that does business from gambling, and it means that nobody can make gambling beneficial.

Not all the time, we are the lucky ones once you're in gambling. we all know that we can lose and we can win. But all of us wants to win right? But it is really depend of a person that is playing it. If we are mature enough to understand that there is a looser and a winner in every game then it is fine for you if you lose, but if not. it is not good if you lose then you want to bet again and again until nothing left in your pocket and that is bad.  Sad

I think making money from gambling is not easy it is a big risk no one know that how to get money from there everyone who spend in there do not know that they will get that money again or not, it is only a black well where you put your money.
Yes, it is possible to making money from gambling. However, making money from gambling is not equal to making money on your own. There is no profit, there is only winning bet. Basically, when you make money on your own, you depend from yourself (your skills and so on), but when you make money from gambling, you get yourself to be depended on case. As for me, it's not good.

Can anyone confirm the payment in this company? It is quite new, so can someone working here just write that he already recieved the payment?
9948  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / What does the halving depend on? on: July 10, 2016, 08:51:24 AM
I thought for a while and came up with this idea... What if halving comes, because people on this forum start saying it's coming? I mean, about a week ago there were many threads saying "Beware of halving", "Halving is coming" etc.
Although there were many people saying that there is no halving and everything, what if such thread make people who have many btc start selling them really fast and then we have this halving and everything?
What if we (this forum members) can actually controll the process on our own by posting different threads?

What is your opinion on that stuff?

You know, I'm thinking now.. What if we do sort of an experiment? What if we start making threads in BTC discussion saying something like "Bitcoin will rise in price soon" and "What will you do with your BTC when it rises again?" etc.
Who's with me?
Let's see what we can do here to change the situation and defeat halving simply by posting something cool about BTC and making people believe in them more this way!
9949  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: the easiest way to make a profit from gambling? on: July 10, 2016, 08:45:37 AM
Don't gamble for profit, gamble for fun. The profit will come later  Cheesy
Indeed, gamble for fun and the profit comes later. Though, mostly profits comes not from gambling (job, family) and then that not-gambling profits tell bye-bye with help of gambling stuff. You want to raise that profits with gambling, but unfortunately you'll loose it all at the end.
9950  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: OMG Halving Happened AND... on: July 10, 2016, 08:39:36 AM
Nothing to see here folks, price is not going up stop dreaming
We need to calm down and wait till some people decide to buy more btc, because of the halving, and then there will be no halving) I hope it will rise up soon
9951  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is going on with this transaction ? on: July 10, 2016, 08:36:36 AM
Hello guys,

Someone send me some bitcoin yesterday and it still 0 confirmation..
Did anybody knows what's going on with this transaction ?

Here's the link : https://blockchain.info/tx/c13cc213494ab52cb857d2ec1795d0e3d7922b15fdf964e15244cac10980debb

Thank you very much !
So you didn't really get your BTC?
I had one strange thing with BTC transaction on blockchaing recently. I withdrawed some money from another website and sent it to my wallet. I recieved the money and can see it in my wallet but if I check the transaction, it says I have zero BTC (this was my first withdrawal).
9952  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: It's Halving Day! What Can You Say? on: July 10, 2016, 08:32:53 AM
The moment we all have been waiting for (well, to most of us but not all!) has come. Does your excitement or expectations about halving are happening at the moment or nothing has changed?

How and what do you feel now that halving is already here? Are you happy or frustrated at this very moment?
Of course I feel a bit frustrating and yet I'm hoping this halving won't last for long and so good times are about to come)
9953  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If you recieved random BTC, would you return it? on: July 10, 2016, 08:30:54 AM
Let's say you wake up some day and you get like 1 BTC. For me this is a lot. What do you do? You return back the BTC to the owner, do you keep it? and why.

I don't know what I would do to be honest. I mean who knows if the guy that just sent you this is a criminal or a good man? Very tough decision. For someone like me that has a small BTC wallet and is trying to make as much BTC as possible before its too late due price going too high, it would be hard to return it, but I would feel bad to keep it too.
I think I would have some second thoughts but I hope I would choose to give it back or at least inform the owner about the situation

how we could motivate women to use Bitcoin because I tried several times to explain what it is and how to use Bitcoin ...was very difficult and have not really managed only once ..
Gosh, this is so sexist. How do you know women don't use btc? I think there are lot's of women on this forum and this is the proof they are fine with using btc
9955  Other / Off-topic / Re: du you spend coins on real life. on: July 10, 2016, 08:22:37 AM
there are few cafes shops in the uk thats accepts coin and i somehow spend some  have you your experience ? and how did you feel? when i was  sending coin  peoplein the cafe was looking at me and asked me about it truly i feelt like im .... hurraaaaaaaa
In my country you can't really do a thing using btc. Well, you may order something from Amazon sometimes, but there are no cafes or shops you can go to.. I hope we'll have these things in a few years
9956  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why is bitcoin controlled by the dollar! on: July 10, 2016, 08:20:35 AM
Bitcoin isn't backed by anything but a group of miners, a network of nodes and a faithful cultish following Wink 
I agree with that. Btc is backed by a belief in it, not by $, Euro, Gold or anything. And this is the way it should be. This is the idea of BTC. Not to be as non-cryptocurrencies backed up by something material
9957  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin without Altcoin ? on: July 10, 2016, 08:18:06 AM
I just wanted to get your opinions on this one , what do you think Bitcoin would be if there was no Alternative coins such Litecoin & Dogecoin and the others ...
I mean it would be better with or without them Bitcoin would have no value at all ?
I think if there were no other strong cryptocurrencies, btc would be a monopolist with a huge price. However, I think it is just as impossible as for btc to suddenly rise up to 1000$ in one day
9958  Other / Off-topic / Re: Will you accept bitcoin as your salary? on: July 10, 2016, 08:09:39 AM
In Europe there is a hot new pertaining to a company whose going to introduce paying bitcoins to their employees. But given the instability of the bitcoins market value is it an advantage for the employees or an disadvantage. In my opinion this kind of payment for salary is not yet beneficial to employees not until bitcoins price has become stabled. Though if bitcoin will start to increase its monetary value it can be advantageuos but if not then it is a peril to the employees. So what do you think, what is your opinion on this matter?
I think it depends on a person. For the one who likes to play with fire, salary in btc is a great idea, because they are ready to lose or win from time to time.
As for me, it is fine to have about 25% of money you earn in btc, because this way you can both be in quite a stable situation and have some surprises from time to time)
9959  Other / Off-topic / Re: Old people earning bitcoins on: July 10, 2016, 08:05:31 AM
I think older people that are 45+ would see bitcoin as a fad for the younger generation to mess with.
They might not see it worth their time as they don't have as much as it too waste on things that they have to learn about.  Wink
You are wrong. My father is 45+ and I live in the country of the 3rd world and he earns btc working for a signature campaign and has some friends of his planning to do some business using btc
9960  Other / Off-topic / Re: What is your plan to get rich with Bitcoin? on: July 10, 2016, 08:02:19 AM
That could hardly happen in near future, I mean to see the price go to the 5k.
I agree. And because of this, your friend's plan doesn't even sound like a plan to me.
