1521  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What Is Your Worst Moment in Gambling? on: April 27, 2017, 02:45:15 PM
Gambling is my weakness, I've been through a lot lately and I've tried gambling many times but all of them sorted to losing and the moment that i was mistaken was the time i was trying to bluff but my friends knew that i had horrible cards and i lost everytime in gambling.

It's a common mistake when we play card games and tries to bluff other players. There are times that we can be successful with that trick even the professionals are being tricked by it. I don't want to remember my worst moments in gambling because I just really can't help and it made me humiliated in front of many.
sometimes even in skill based games like poker the final factor to decide whether you will win or not are a luck. bluffing feel like the real gamble in poker , as you hoping for win based on just luck not with a good cards but you did it however. not the worst story so far , unless if you do it in world series and you are in final risking million dollars.

It's a matter of experience and professionalism, there are good poker players that are able to win even they have bad cards. They are scaring those opponents that has good cards and they are risking big money on it, sometimes it is good but there are times that it is a big mistake for there are people that are confident when they know that their opponent is good for bluffing.
still i think everyone would rely on luck no matter you are experienced , a pro poker player , a pro sportsbettor etc gambling are just gambling , a game of expectation. don't put too high your expectation here , as nothing sure can guarantee you to win. just enjoy everything while you can and don't regret it. let bygones be bygones.
1522  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reason Why Casino Bankrupt? on: April 27, 2017, 02:22:52 PM
I think the reason why a Casino get bankrupt is due to these reason:

Poor Management
Incompetent Marketing strategy
Low House Bankroll
Unattractive advertisement
High Rollers winning
Hacks

These are some things why a Casino get banrupt.  You should hire the best marketing strategist and security team.  Games and software are just there waiting to be bought.  And if your initial fund is kinda small, you can open an investment program so people will invest in the bankroll.  You do not have controll over the winners since it is all a chance, you better have a highly fund bankroll.  Security is best to keep hackers away so pay for it.

too much , i can say simply the one with really low fund to operates the casino could lead into a bankruptcy. with good amount funds you can fix the poor management, have a good marketing strategy, have a big bankroll of course , have an attractive interface , have a high level security and many more! am i right?

One should have a good bankroll to maintain any casino well otherwise soon or later they can go bankrupt. Because you can expect some big whales to play and win big amount as well. So if you operate a casino with smaller bankroll surely go under loss. Other factors like marketing, management all come later on.
a casino always have a limit to avoid something like break the house and can't pay the player winning , it's a basic matter. the problem with bigger bankroll then bigger chance for a casino to survive from bankruptcy are on how the maintenance cost a lot of money rather than thinking about just how to pay the big winning , it has been set. when your marketing cost too much money than people who play , do you think that kind casino can survive for long time enough?
1523  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do any people gamble under the age of 18? on: April 27, 2017, 02:08:17 PM
I want to know if anyone here gambles or have gambled under the age of 18, I feel like there are many kids who do this and I am interested to see how many people actually gamble under 18, if you have any friends that gamble or have gambled under 18 include them.


EDIT: I mean mostly kids online, its hard to be a kid and gamble physically. I feel like the gambling rate for kids is increasing a lot and is gonna be a problem in the future, especially with the CS:GO situation.

EDIT2: Another question to ask, is what is your opinion on the topic of kids gambling, do you think it is a growing problem or a problem alone for that matter?

EDIT3: What is the best way to counter this problem without websites having to know your exact identity?
Yes there are many kids who is aware in some gambling games, i can't say that this is a problem in the society that under age of 18 they are fully aware in gambling. But it may be the problem for them because they are just kids they don't have the right age to go to work so they don't have the profit to play and they can lose all their money in a hour.

18 yrs old knew already how to play gambling in any way such as betting ,poker or lottery. Whatever we will do in our society now there easy way now to access bitcoin actual or in online ,there are ways now we can hide our identity and some sites doesn't require a lot of information anymore and just let anyone plays it.
age restriction works only on a real life casino , not in online casino. even nowadays people under age have hold a smartphone to school , as long as someone have an internet access and a gadget then they are good to go to start learn about make money though gambling , it's easy to do that and hard to prevent it . the world gone wild really.
1524  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I have found a long term and strong dice strategy. on: April 27, 2017, 01:54:06 PM
was just sharing 1 strategy that i think is a good all rounder, and a better way to approach the game than the way most people do, if everyone used a half decent strategy, casinos would make money a lot slower, increasing the damage done by high rollers, and thats good  Cheesy
Definitely yes better to follow what your guts says than listening to people who just loved to trolled i dont do high roles it makes me sick when im loosing the game. Listening to other make us into lose but when you are into your mind setting it free following what you've learned maybe theres a big chance.
just make it as your temporary gambling style , don't take it permanently. i mean when you heard someone has a working strategy then why not just to try it out, there's no harm right? it's same like when you gamble randomly based on nothing. i have done placed a bet like what op said in bitcoinvideocasino roulette , i have managed to win 0.09 from just 0.03 , up to 3 times but the rest of it just another lost and lost , so i just stop it.
1525  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Do you see alts have chances against Bitcoins? on: April 27, 2017, 01:39:12 PM
I don't think alt have any chance to replace bitcoin, bitcoin is the first and the pioner of crypto and it will be the benchmark of crypto. Bitcoin already so popular and a lot of money already put into it. Yes bitcoin has trouble about transaction time and fee right now, but i believe there will be a way to solve that.
Yes it's not easy to replace bitcoin by other altcoins but as we can see the market value of ETH there are also possibilities this altcoin can compete against btc. There are some ico coins that ETH based so there are chances

There is a slight chance that they can replace bitcoin, just slight, but it will take maybe years, long years before they can caught up from where bitcoin is right now. ICO coins are really great that they might really be popular like thebother altcoins, but not as popular as bitcoin.
the bitcoin user was too large spread and hard to make all of them just move into a new altcoin. they would prefer to develop current bitcoin ecosystem. it's not impossible , yeah i just don't think it could happened soon. there's must be some big accident causing bitcoin popularity get dropped , even a high fee and the transaction time issue recently didn't affected much on bitcoin price .

I had registered and deposited bitcoin on 12th December 2016, but until today fortunejack doesn't send to my email in order to full activate my fortunejack account, is that because I live on restricted/ban country of fortunejack? without email activation, can I play with my balance (deposit amount) or withdraw it? Thank you for the answers.
you should activate your account to make a withdrawal , you might can play it freely but since few months ago they have some new rules like to activate your account though the email is a must and we are as a user have agreed to their terms right? so just do it, i don't know exactly what causing your activation link didn't delivered , but i just curious why you bring this matter now after 4 months  Huh .
1527  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Play with your profit or not? on: April 27, 2017, 01:21:52 PM
I don't know about other but it comes to my mindset I always gamble with my profits only because we can easily track how much we are losing and how much we are gaining. Each person has his own attitude some might will play with profits and some people will gamble with (investment + profits), it completely depends on their mindset.
since i know i would struggling to keep getting profit in the long run then i prefer to collect everything while i can. and then in the next session if you lost it just forget about that and start again later (not soon) with same capital and just repeat it. recently i'm trying to completely gamble for entertainment purpose , profit would be the number 2 after i have got entertained.
1528  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When to leave the game? on: April 26, 2017, 11:07:18 PM
The only logical reason someone will just leave the game is that if he has 0 money to play for gambling. Other's say that if they have win the jackpot, on the contrary, if you just won the jackpot then there's a reason to comeback again. You have the money and you want to try if you can win big again. But I doubt it will happened again. So for me, the possible way to leave is that if your bankroll are emptied. Simple as that.
lol , i believe everyone able to do that . it's the biggest challenge for anyone to stop and quit gamble to walk away with some profit in the pocket. unfortunately most of the times we always ended up with losing rather than a winning. and that's reasonable to say something like that , only zero balance can stop you playing and leave.
1529  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: if someday the network internet totally dead . on: April 26, 2017, 10:55:21 PM
I don't think that it will ever happen as the internet is improving day by day and in future we will see internet with some great features and higher speed so there is only a room for improvement from here and it will never go back and it will never become dead.

Actually the blockchain technology is on the verge of becoming the second generation Internet and if it succeeds in that direction then the global internet will be like Bitcoin or BitTorrent which are decentralized and cannot be switched off by one party.
it's just the system , not how internet and blockchain network works lol . the blockchain network can't be accessed without internet connection , and that's why the internet things really matter for the bitcoin continuity. some people express their concern about this matter many times , yet there's no reliable answer coming.
1530  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: the easiest way to make a profit from gambling? on: April 26, 2017, 10:47:41 PM
Maybe play just for a few rounds and don't get greedy after you win some,
Try to control yourself cause it is really hard to earn a profit through gambling.

how about to go ALLIN or NOTHING . you don't even need a couple rounds. just one round! and see your money get doubled or burned. easy fast and simple. the rsik really worth . but this kind betting style for those people who brave enough and have a backup funds in case they suffering lost. ALLIN doesn't mean you have to stake the whole wealth you have .
1531  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling loses and wins on: April 26, 2017, 10:31:48 PM
Lit bit tactic and skill is ok for gambling but it is entire depended on the luck. Few people are lucky and luck always favor them. If such person play gambling, more are the chances that they win mostly but nothing can be said safely in gambling.

This is the kind of superstition that makes some people broke - they simply believe that they are "lucky" and cannot lose, so they keep playing more and more, maybe even winning a good amount of money for some time until the odds start swinging against them. Luck doesn't exist, every bet is determined by random number generator and you can't influence it, so it's very dangerous to think that you can somehow know the outcome of your next bet with more certainty than it is mathematically possible.
that's true , gambling actually about the math , about calculate the probability of an event occurring. people just too dreamy expecting the outcome could be changed whenever you used a strategy and have some skill , but it's actually not change anything. it's just a suggestion in your head. seriously any games are random , but the -EV makes you have more losses than a win.
1532  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Use Coinbase as a mixer? on: April 26, 2017, 10:19:18 PM
You could in theory, but I wouldn't advise it.  You'd be better off just putting your coins through a trusted mixer regularly and then sending it from your own address - you really don't need to do much more than that, especially with Coinbase who have been known to freeze accounts at a moment's notice for any kind of suspicious activity.
besides a specific mixer service deduct quite huge fee , especially when you do a large amount transaction. and also he said didn't trust mixers service  Roll Eyes . and i think every exchange wouldn't link the deposit address to the withdrawal address , so far i used poloniex and bittrex and looks like nothing linked , just the withdrawa limit really annoying , unless if you want to upload a lot of documents there which i think you wouldn't do it.

1534  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to quit Gambling for good? on: April 26, 2017, 09:54:43 PM
If gambling is already our habit, it would be very difficult to stop it with just one effort. We can minimize the bad possibility from gambling by reading other people's experiences. So, this forum can actually help us. A lot people sharing their thought and experiences here, hence we can learn from it.
I know it's difficult because that is how addiction affect on us, however we all want to have a good life and we know that if it is already a habit it is not good for us. We should instill discipline when gambling and must not let our emotion to play the game for us, most likely we will lose if we will not learn how to control.
Addiction is why it's hard for us to quit gambling . However, if we start givjng discipline to ourselves thorugh doing better stuffs, we can succeed on our plan to quit gambling. Changes would start from ourselves.
As said change need to start from us. No one can help us get out of addiction,it's our mind that decides what needs to be done next. If one's mind can be controlled by him, then he can master anything. So addiction can be controlled on self realization of the loss and frustration occurred due to the same.
gamble only the amount that you can afford to lose and then you shouldn't have to quit at all . but if you insist want to do that, then you have to think about the worst scenario when you lost control and gamble like a mad one day and causing some chaos for both you and some people around you. also try to go to a professional to help for mental healing , as it's actually an addiction that makes anyone looks carzy in gambling.

1536  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If money would not be a problem, would you still gamble? on: April 26, 2017, 09:31:59 PM
I will because i enjoy it and exciting in that.
But the difference is maybe i will not play dice game online , actually it is boring. Grin
some people really looking for an entertainment in gambling. that's why they prefer to gamble in cards game like blackjack and poker rather than have to spend the time on a game like dice , it's more than just boring but also dangerous as sooner or later in this game you wouldn't have a chance to make money in the long run , eve though the house edge very small compared to any other games.
1537  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lost over 12 btcs gambling on dice on: April 26, 2017, 09:21:51 PM
I don't understand whether to feel sorrow for your loss, or laugh at your tendency of getting something still out of these gambling sites if found some glitches in them and cheat them. You feel cheated because you lost, but it was your choice to play at those sites and so you should accept it with complete heart. BTW, you said you lost them in 4 months, were those months in 2017? If yes, then I am sorry to say this, but you seem one of the most stupid persons I ever saw here who lost $12000 in gambling.
yeah those people who gamble irresponsibly would always feel rigged whenever they suffering lost, that kind player never grow up to learn something. gambling are always about the game of chance , and it has negative expected value . which means if you gamble in regular time you wouldn't make yourself always in profit , in the end you would get lost. i believe if he gamble for several rolls only he would have a profit now instead lost it all.
1538  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How should a good gambling site be? on: April 25, 2017, 11:59:00 PM
Gambling site should had a good staff when they need them they're always there for you to help answering questing that you wouldn't understand they will enlighten you , secondly gambling site should had 0 deposit cofirmation and 0 withdrawal confirmation if this possible then why not? Not all players play that long.
if you mean a good support , then it should be one of the most important part to keep your gambling site alive and survive in longer period. about 0 confirmation to deposit it's really vulnerable , some people could exploit it on double spending, a lot of tough discussion about this has been made , so far it's not recommended to do that unless for a specific well player known player or vip player only.
1539  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you save bitcoin for fun or for future purpose? on: April 25, 2017, 11:50:32 PM
I absolutely save up my bitcoin for fun in future. That means I want to make some big cash out of my savings in bitcoin and I will buy a luxury item which I am planning for quite a long time now. It seems like at least the initial payment, I can do with my bitcoin savings within few years.

That covers both of your points fun as well as future. Buying a luxury item is always fun and if you see that particular item was never owned by anyone among your friends, it’s double the fun.

i wish you didn't mean make bitcoin investment as a jokes with these statement ' I absolutely save up my bitcoin for fun in future ' , because it's sounds not good at all. future investment always done seriously , but you might mean you want to have fun later in the future with bitcoin once the value of bitcoin reached the highest and you just collect it to enjoy your life.
