Also me lm not really a gambler  but l don't know why  l always coming back. I used to quit before because l almost lost everything because of gambling l always lose the game so that I have so many borrowed money just have a money to bet.
Everyone is on this state that we are saying we don't actually gamblers and we don't gamble all the time. But once we experience the happiness and feeling that we are missing the chance of becoming lucky as we are seeing fortune in other gamblers, it will trigger us to go back and try it to ourselves.
In my opinion every Gambler has his own reason of coming back. For instance, there is a type of gamblers who have this idea in their brains that they can recover their loss by playing again.  Then there are those who are addicts and they have no control over their emotions.  Some Gambler play with a limited amount of money for a Limited number of times and this way they can enjoy the game and play for long. Some find relief in it.
it sounds like a words that come from an idealist mouth , gambling wouldn't be that idealist. you know the atmosphere there always push you to do crazy things , bet a lot of money uncontrollable , even though you have planned everything and yet you ignore it due how exciting making money through gambling. the fun might could be acquired only when you won it , otherwise it would always about profit the reason you come back.

That is so true that when you let emotions overpower you in your betting sessions, you will most likely going to do something wrong beyond your planned betting games. Although there is really nothing wrong to get so emotional especially if you have set a strict limitation as  to when to stop.
Then any effort you put in gambling hopes to get profit would become has no effect in the end as long as you can't be responsible and wise to treat gambling also to did following your natural emotions to become a greedy one. Train yourself to avoid things like that. And you'll come back for better reason.

as I know experience is important in some gambling games such as poker, but how about the other games like dice game or roulette, do you gain any advantage from your experience, can you used your experience to win the game? or maybe because of your experience you know whether to bet low or high in dice game

So Does Experience matter to you?

Yeah!experience is also matter in gambling,on how to win a game.when we differentiate  by the way of  ratio scaling  the beginner and gambler experience we grade it to 1:10  because mostly 80% of experience gambler know how to win the game unlike the beginner he is  only the way in process of learning,but there's a thought said learning is the best experience, so in order to  gain  more winning in gambling its much better you most know how to win the game and how to works it.

If the game is based on pure luck, the experience doesn't really matter and is just limited to how to play the game and how to mitigate losses by having or creating several sessions. However, if the game require some sort of skills like that of poker games and sportsbetting, then experienced indeed plays a vital role.
so generally it doesn't really matter right? as luck would always have bigger role above anything in gambling. no luck no profit even you are an expert with no doubt talking about experience. yeah let's be realistic , you can't do much to make things better in gambling since it's so addictive you would always come back to give another shot and the result won't be same. in the end you would realize that it's totally random.
I don't know but I still believe luck is just an extra factor, experience is very useful to win especially if we are playing a skilled based games, there are a lot of games out there where we can master and the moment we master them we can rely on our skills to go on a long term journey. I know majority of the gamblers are losers but we cannot deny the fact that there are people who are making a living in gambling, they have proven its possible to be successful if we have the sames skills they had.
I even think that luck are like everything, a final touch to decide your game should be won or lost. A strategy or any experience earned there as an extra factor to decide it. Well we have different point of view and that's normal, skill won't work out to make every single person make gamble profitable, it's still has a low percentage for those who make it happen successfully.
683  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The recent price rise is really bad news for Bitcoin on: December 07, 2017, 08:44:44 PM
On a trader's point of view, as long as they are making profit, any movement from the market that benefits them would be totally okay. The price rise seems to be another preparation for what's coming by 18th of December when bitcoin futures at CME goes live. Imagine what would happen once these financial magnates start participating and trading against bitcoin. Everything would go completely nuts.
Yeah a good crazy situation are happening right now , people come to buy Bitcoin make money in short time and sell it immediately, they come back to do the same thing. And once the bad crazy market situation comes I'm pretty sure people can't afford to anticipate the unimaginable crash at some point.
684  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Relationships! on: December 07, 2017, 08:35:28 PM
Anyone who has ever been or are in a committed relationship or marriage where both people gamble? Or in a relationship with a gambler with a friend, best friend, family related etc...  Knowing you are in it together is weird comforting and gives me some sort of undefined explanation.

What does that look like for you? Your experience needs to be heard.

Relationships are a two way street and the best case scenario is you find a person that can understand and even you think can be a big help to you. HOWever some relationships are fickle and there might be a time she asks you to stop and that might be a root for a misunderstanding
Entering on any activities that can affect the relationship, like losing time and having an addiction on gambling will really have a bad impact on the relationship. Have a proper time management and seek advises,don't come to the point you'll already lose them or youll lose both.
Just take a positive things , if you never do gamble together with peopl that close to you or with the people that you love then you'll never know the feeling and just make a misleading speculation. You can just imagine about that , maybe it's indeed the feeling are so priceless or maybe when it's failed you might lost every precious thing. Just Be caution .
685  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: where do you get your predictions? on: December 07, 2017, 08:16:08 PM
hello!

for me being new to cryptocurrencies i would like to know from where do you get your predictions about the price of not just bitcoins but other cryptocurrencies?

Read all the news about cryprtocurrency and this thing can help you decide. But always make your own study about the coin, know how to read the charts and always trade with your strategy don't just depend on any hype.
Reading and do your own analysis in trading never that easy. You might could suffering huge and streaks lost during that process , giving up aren't a good choice but a lot of people did it due can't survive to learn slowly and carefully as time goes by. Do analysis and practice, then repeat it until you find yourself good enough.


From past 6 months all the bitcoin and altcoins investors will be happy about price movement. Even speculation been assume in the altcoin and bitcoin speculation section most probably won't become a true factor in the price chart.
You can understand that price gonna bump in the chart by finding the any news which is good like any updation or implementation on bitcoin. If you loose any company who was working in the bitcoin platform and left means we usually find the dump in the chart.
Yeah that's why I said to keep learning and do it repeatedly with careful way. You can't just hear and see everything in front of you , the news should be filtered and pick which one the legit one based your own point of view. Things could run smoothly when you have get used to it.
686  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your Lucky moments during gambling? on: December 07, 2017, 08:08:26 PM
One of the best experiences that I had in gambling is that I made a bet with good statistics. I just ran the dice bot embedded in the site and I have managed to hit that hard bet. It was on Bitvest and that's one of my best moments.
Generally I can see people who have experienced a winning streaks for no matter how much the value it is as the lucky moments isn't it? It's really rare to get that moment so makes sure you can control yourself as you might could lost it all back to zero and suffering. Don't let that worst scenario happened.
687  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think the Christmas is increasing the price of bitcoin? on: December 07, 2017, 07:52:39 PM
I'm not sure that Christmas will somehow affect the price of bitcoin, but the fact that the launch of futures on the Chicago exchange will make it a fact.
Yeah about CBOE it's just one of many reasons why, but Christmas Eve has nothing to do with the price of bitcoin, people just too excited and bring ever single issue in. I won't say it hasn't any influence but a little bit funny also can be true, the growth are so natural I think, it's pure a lot demand behind.
688  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does bitcoin's price volatility affect your gambling habits? on: December 07, 2017, 07:19:21 PM
No effect at all. I gamble based on my wishes, so whatever happens to BTC prices, it does not affect me.
Same here, I didn't affected by the bitcoin's price volatility. I always gamble like i want, so if the price increase or fall, I will bet with the same amount of btc, I mean i don't watch the price in dolllars or any other real currencies, I only set the amount with BTC.

But I always do another way because I set my bet amount in USD and I will adjust my bitcoin amount accordingly. If prices go up then I will reduce bitcoin bet amount to match USD price because it is a hard earn money and doesn't want to waste so much on gambling. I usually fix around $50 to $100 for each session of gambling and never go above that amount and play only once or twice in a month.

Bitcoin price is at around $16k now (frankly, it's awesome). For sure, I will lower my bet amounts now to reflect this price changes. 0.001 BTC each session would be better for me at the current price.
If you looking to take the risk grow your Bitcoin through gambling then why you didn't put the same amount in Bitcoin? You'll never know you are lucky enough right? But well if you afraid and can't afford to lose that amount. I just feel it's makes sense to keep staking the same amount as part high investment.
689  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To Gamble or To Invest? on: December 07, 2017, 07:09:47 PM

thats right playing poker against house can be boring as most of the time house has more skills there needs to be
a site which allows you to gamble against other players to make it more competitive and more fun to gamble


That depends on the player, if the player is really good and with the touch of luck, he can beat the house.  If the player is against an AI, all the result and action of an AI is random and it is for the player to figure it out.  Though no matter how skillful you are investing is always better than gambling since risk in that venture can always be mitigated.
Yeah in the end luck are the only thing matter in gambling, it's so powerful when it found you. Unfortunately there's no way to make it always by your side, it's completely random. Where if you compare it to investment that you can find your luck getting closer to you whenever you do a good analysis.

691  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin is the new era of currency? on: December 06, 2017, 04:34:31 PM
Certainly, Bitcoin and Blockchain are the biggest innovations in the world. They create a new payment tool and new kind of asset for the people who use the Internet. And now they are more and more popular in the worlds. In the future, Bitcoin will become one of the most currency in the world like Dollar, Euro,...
It's a financial service breakthrough, satoshi are so smart to have an idea like  this. The next generation of money should be more transparent and there's no other currency as good as Bitcoin heading the future so bright. Attracts a lot of investors to develop Bitcoin adoption faster and better for the future.
692  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to know about next pump? on: December 06, 2017, 04:15:58 PM
There is a wall with 125BTC weight at 0.0008739 on Poloniex for LISK it is an indicator for prepared pump - a whale is trying to buy all sells and keep the price below than. After it will accumulate enough lisk and generating enough volume the wall will be taken away and price will rise

Next stop will be is 0.0017
Not always it runs like that , sometimes you as a market maker should have an opposite thought with those people who execute the market occasionally for once or twice hit and run. It could be a big trap instead a signal of pumping are coming. A little bit confusing indeed sometimes, so be more careful.
693  Other / Archival / Re: Have you ever won a Jackpot? on: December 06, 2017, 03:31:14 PM
I won a slot machine progressive jackpot but didn't know I won until the lights didn't stop flashing so I knew something fell my way in the right direction. Wink
It was around $8000 worth in coins so it was a good amount just for spending $0.25 per line which was an 8 line slot machine. So $2 per roll which hit within 2 hours to get it.
You have made profit or you got into break even with that win?  Grin Just kidding...

That was really huge win with relatively small amount in bet, $8k is quite big hope you have make withdrawal after winning that rather than keep playing trying to hit another jackpot.

In which site you have won that?
Slot can give you a huge amount of money in a couple of minutes only that is the thing make the game so attractive, but people always forgetting about the risk involved there , a high house edge make the chance each of you to win really small, but people chasing it in hope to get a huge rare winning just like lottery, I do love it too just unfortunately didn't make it happen yet.
694  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can trading be considered as gambling?? on: December 06, 2017, 02:39:28 PM
Yes, in generally, Gambling and trading are the same but they just were differents in some features. Cause they're both investment can give back the good profit to the investors over time. And both of them need good stragedies to make the profit come true or losing everything is possible.


Indeed, they are quite the same in terms of gaining but they are different in some features like reputation and becoming rich. In you lose in trading it will not destroy your reputation in fact people will be proud of you because you try to earned in a decent way but if you lose in gambling your reputation will be ruin specially if you lost almost everything including your family because gambling is a vice. In talking of to become rich, i think no one become rich because of gambling but i know a lot of people who become rich because of trading in these people make me inspired to pursue on trading.  
some people confused about this , they have learn everything about how to become a pro trader but they are still struggle. everything just feel like the same when you gamble . and that moment just makes them angry and prefer to go for gambling instead wasting time to do a lot of things before start to trade. i won't blame them , trading sometimes sucks but of course not as sucks as gambling.

Trading only sucks if we failed to gather information and understand the incoming signals of the trend.  Before the price move, there is always an indicators on what trend it will go.  A good trader can sense this. so I guess trading will never be nor considered as gambling unless we really do not know what we are doing.  There is a huge difference of these two especially the risk being involved.
Yeah people can always choose whether to take trading as a serious way to make money and then do learn hard to achieve good result. Or simply being lazy to trade based on nothing as you have experienced to learn trading basics and yet you didn't fully understand about it, as a result your prediction mostly get missed.
695  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If money would not be a problem, would you still gamble? on: December 06, 2017, 02:09:40 PM
I would but only for leisure like any rich people do. Gamble is for everybody and we only differ on our own reasons on why we do it. A lot of people don't approve it but it still an entertainment for others.
It's a Big move when you challenge yourself to hold yourself from being greedy , act as wise as possible on anything happened no matter it's a good one or a bad one to produce a real gamble for the sake of fun. Even you are in need money I think it's a good effort.
696  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do you even gamble? on: December 05, 2017, 06:42:56 AM
This question is so deep. We really need to know why we are even gambling. people are gambling for different reasons; for fun, to win, to make fortune, money laundering...
Personaly, i am gambling for fun, it offers a magical feelings full of happiness and hope. The fact of having an easy opportunity to make a fast fortune is so attractive.
i couldn't agree more with you lol , i have seen a lot of people deposit into online casino for the sake of money laundering it's indeed proven work. but there always a consequence especially when you did it in large amount of money. having fun always be everyone purpose but unfortunately it's always leading to an addiction and yeah nothing good in the end when it comes to gambling.

698  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What Are Your Greatest Fears As a Bitcoin Holder? on: December 05, 2017, 06:12:06 AM
My biggest fear as a bitcoin holder is, if bitcoin can not be used all over the world, because if all countries forbid bitcoin then all bitcoin holders including me will incur losses. so me and the other bitcoin holders can not do anything and have to accept such circumstances ...
yeah it could be a problem , but not really. since to have and hold something like bitcoin are human rights. noone can stop it , just greedy goovernment who want to take control over cryptocurrency world which it's impossible , fear about how there a lot of bitcoin user lost interest in bitcoin and decide to sell it all and then causing the market crash are so real. but remember the ecosystem has been built so well and strong , it won't happened in short time, so stay calm.
699  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The hapiness of a green profit on: December 05, 2017, 05:47:46 AM
It would be a good feeling to be in a green profits because it makes the user enjoy her games but make sure to put limits and obtain self control to avoid becoming addicted to gambling.
Lol! This is very hard to put limits in gambling especially when you are winning the game continuously. This is why gambling is labeled as sin and evil because people get addicted to it and anything that makes you addict is not good for your well being. Gambling has never produced rich people but there re numerous cases where people have lost what they had just because of this bloody game.

I agree gambling has more casualties than people it has made rich and so even though the rich from gambling are few it has labeled gambling as an evil activity but it is not entirely true as disciplined people are able to make it in gambling.
Yes, smart people are the ones who can limit themselves when gambling. Perhaps he is highly addicted to gambling that he is very ambitious to get many profit, but ultimately lost.
Playing gambling only for entertainment alone, if ultimately get the green profit it will be a bonus and happiness.
i think those people who successfully make a litimation and also always responsible on what they have done in gambling considered as a wise player , rather than a smart one. as noone can be smart enough to gamble in the long run. they would always make a mistake and turn everything to bad end . your happiness in gambling won't be a real happiness it's always temporary.
