Even if you give so big details,the gambler will always play gambling until he is not finish his bankroll. So in simple words everyone know about it even then they gamble

That is because people are greedy and they are always in false hope as to when they are going to win. They are just within the darkness in the hope of winning something that will compensate the loss. And even if they win, they will take the risk again because they won. So why not play again. Who knows? That is why people need to back off if they lose because losing a bit amount of money is better than losing it all.
Everyone naturally is greedy  Grin; some of us just have to find a way to control those greed so they do not take a whole of us. It is the way the mindset of some have been fashioned as they do think with gambling they can end up being self-made for life without much stress, only to find out the opposite and before they even get to find out, it has been too late and the only thing left for them is to be hoping that one day, they may recover, which is the main reason they always keep coming back.

True enough. That is why it is best to stay away from it if you know you have tendencies of getting addicted to something. Some people have this inability, and we cannot call it weakness. It is perhaps an obsession and compulsion put altogether because the person concerned believes he has to do such, otherwise, he will miss plausible opportunities. There are repercussions once a person gets hooked to something without the latter even knowing it already hit him. It is not in denial; but a behavior that blooms when you least take notice of it. So yes, I agree with this write up. It is so beautifully-constructed that it leaves people wondering how possible it is to be affected with gambling in terms of health conditions.
Tendencies of getting addicted are normal for someone who is greedy or someone who is looking for the wrong thing in the wrong place. Gambling is just a game and I wonder why some people would think they can make a living from gambling. It is appalling and that is just being foolish and if you look at the lifestyle they end up living on how they have made their mentality to ruin them, they always end up becoming a huge liability to everyone.

I was tossed outside once. I was the youngest in our group that time and we decided to go to casino. I have my ID with the wrong date of birth, that is the one I used to enter the casino. I was happy that I was able to enter and play. After a couple of hours, one of my friends played prank at me and told the guard to ask for another ID. I don't have other choice but to show them another ID with the right date of birth. That was the time that I was tossed while I was playing.
Your friend must have been a bad ass for playing such a prank since you all had it planned from the house. A good friend would not even do that. However, you made a terribly bad move trying to boycott the casino security with a wrong ID. In some places, that is a pretty huge offence and you are lucky you were only thrown out.

I have never had such an experience, may be because I only visit casinos once in a blue moon, but as long as you have not broken any rule or law, I feel it is not something to witness.

Well you could have been be a winning gambler when Bitcoin was $150 and when it was selling for $20k. There is absolutely no difference and there is no 'perfect time' for gambling whatsoever. I don't think there is a correlation between the current price of Bitcoin and the profitability of gambling  Grin
BTW trying to offset losses in crypto trading with crypto gambling is very.... stupid.
As far as I am concerned, the best gambling is to buy at a huge dip when everyone is scared of buying and then when people are beginning to get greedy for no reason but greed, then you start offloading and start thinking like the whales and the market makers. That is how I have been rolling my dice for a while now, and I so much prefer that to giving my cash to the house edge that are just after my hard earned money Grin.
924  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Jackpot...... on: April 07, 2018, 08:32:35 AM
March became my lucky month in gambling sites, I won 2 jackpots that made me feel shock a little bit.

My first one was 0.00763365 btc won, and my big one is 2.46873821 eth... How about you did you experience to won Jackpot while playing at your favorite gambling site?


You got lucky, that only happens once in a lifetime so congrats on your big win, i personally have been gambling for a long time probably for like a year a year and a half, and i have never won jockpot ever i always end up losing all the money that i put in gambling sites, i always play the dice and try strategies that seem to work at first and win a good amount and after a couple of round my luck turns the other way and i lose it all.
Yeah, just once in a lifetime and I wish something like that at least for once in my life time would happen. I have played several lotteries before without winning, but it is normal anyway. No one should expect so much from a game of chance. He is indeed very lucky and I hope he will be able to find something valuable to use that for and not end up gambling it the more and hoping for more luck, as that is what a lot of people that usually get lucky sometimes do.
925  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The most precise definition of gambling? on: April 06, 2018, 03:12:13 PM
there is still much confusion about the definition of gambling, including me. Especially about the difference between Betting and Gambling, despite the fact that I think Betting and Gambling it is the same thing. So here I want to know "What is the most correct definition for gambling?"

in my opinion, betting and gambling is the same thing although the games are different but the purposes is same between betting and gambling. we are betting and gambling to make money as the profit in the games and we spend much time to try to earn money from the winning the games. I think you don't have to confuse about the definition of gambling and let it be like that because every people have each definition and it cannot force to be one definition.
What a precise definition indeed and a very funny way to put it lol. I was surprised when I even heard in my country that there are people who do this for a living (sports betting) and they make a lot from it anyway. As long as you do not know the outcome of anything and you are placing valuable money on it and expecting it to favor you even when knowing you can lose it all, then it is gambling. A lot of people have dreamed of becoming rich quickly but unfortunately it ended otherwise.
926  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does ethics count in winning/gambling. on: April 06, 2018, 10:58:04 AM
It's very difficult to cheat in online gambling, but in real life, in casinos, it's possible. I think if the stakes were high enough I might get tempted to try cheating. Before you condemn me think about it for a second.
You are sitting next to someone at the table and see that he's not covering his cards well enough so that you're able to peek. Would you tell him, or try to ignore what you see? Or maybe you'd play along and call it luck? If it was a game with friends I'd tell him, but if those were strangers playing for money, i'd take advantage.
To cheat is a helpless, I try to warn him/her of someone cheating, I certainly do not agree with him. If I ignore the trick, it is a trick against me.
I have always believed ethics count in everything, and as tempting as it would be, I would rather just look away or tell him to please cover his cards well.

Yeah, it sounds ridiculous and it takes a lot of principle and discipline to be able to do that, but it can be done. However, it totally depends on how some people see it, some may think it is part of the game, but the last time I checked, peeping into someone's card is cheating and cheating is unethical.
927  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dice on FortuneJack Scummy and NOT Provably Fair on: April 06, 2018, 07:52:46 AM
Sorry to say bro but you sound like a broken record. FJ have their policies and if you read them pretty well, you must have seen it and if you are not cool with it, you can as well just move to somewhere else that would please your style of game, rather than throwing unnecessary darts at them. You will only end up being laughed at even if you decide to make a YouTube video out of this. A lot have used FJ without complain, and you are only free to call them scummy, when you hit a huge jackpot and you end up not getting paid which has never happened.

Lol. Not everyone always finish their bank roll, except for those who think they can win a lot from gambling. I have seen so many threads opened before with some people having this mindset that they can make profit from gambling, honestly who does that? This is a game of chance and why should anyone just keep dashing out their money for the sake of luck. Well, it just seems the number of people in this category is more than the realistic ones.
929  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Criteria of a good gambler on: April 06, 2018, 05:24:09 AM
I believe that a good gambler must be fairly patient and disciplined. Good players understand that there is no point in continuing the game if they see that the game is not going and therefore they will not bet on the late betting rounds. Good players from time to time will make very unexpected decisions.
I agree with you, Good gambler is always good to control himself whatever the situation, sometimes he was make a decision in the right moment and it will refer a big win. Good players are not greedy, they have goals to follow, they know their limits everyday. Smart Gambler can make a huge amount of money if they choose the right time to make a bet, I talk about live games, not dice which depends only in pure luck.
Anyone that cannot even control themselves in gambling is really going to be having a swell day in the shackles of addiction as time goes on. The reason why most gamblers find it hard to control themselves is just simply because they have these winning mindset in gambling which always end up putting them in a lot of problem in the long run. Times without number I have heard people say they want to win, as if the house edge is there to lose.
930  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does becoming a parent changes the gambler? on: April 04, 2018, 06:27:37 PM
Not really. I have a cousin that does not have a job and even after having 4 kids, it does not still make him think that he needs to change and stop on what he's doing.
There are gamblers that can't give up their own hobby just because they became a parent. Even here in my place I've got some relatives who are not stopping in gambling even they have a bunch of kids to feed and to take care off. It all depends, they can still gamble but they have to be responsible and provide all the things that their kid/s needed.
I think if the first time that you had your kid there going to stop your hobby for a while but once you are back and probably your child is already capable of being independent it would come back. I agree with your statement that you can be still responsible as long as you are giving the kids what they really need especially in order to have their education.
You can stop for awhile so that you can focus taking care of your kid. If you're a hands on dad or mom then you have to sacrifice gambling for it. I think this isn't really an issue for those people that are starting to have kids. What matters is on how you are going to take care of that kid while it is growing. Are you going to allow him to know gambling and be like his dad/mom?
If God has blessed someone with such a gift as child, he must pay attention towards it. Parents are responsible for all the basic needs of a kid. That baby should be the top priority. But if someone still does not give up gambling, it is fine as far as he is taking care of his child. For such people, I have just one thing to say, they need to look around and see real beauties of life. Gambling cannot give as much fun or relief as a kid’s smile can.
Yeah, it is a high level of responsibility when you become a parent and it is a high level of gross irresponsibility for someone who does not care about that but still carelessly end up doing some crazy things, even if it does not have to do with gambling.

However, in this context, I believe a sensible parent who has been gambling carelessly before will have to start considering dropping or limiting some stuffs unless of course he is just a full blown addict which someone responsible will also get help, I believe.
931  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambler's mindset! on: April 03, 2018, 10:46:47 AM
This is not a matter of earning money because it is never an investment or a real work, it is a game and I really hope some gamblers can start to think that way.
I am sure no gambler will be ready to start thing that way. Because they enter into gambling with the mindset of easy money making rather than finding entertainment. As long as gamblers keep this kind of mindset, you could never expect them to think in your way.
But I believe into the powers of forum as many people do read and follow highly established member's words. So, we never need to give up our efforts on bringing new changes into this community. Sometimes I also do think like what is the use of writing against gambling problems still people's view and mindset on gambling never get changes. But, personally I had changed myself regarding gambling after gaining knowledge from this forum. At least one gambler may change his mindset on gambling that must be a very big win for the entire community and I will keep putting efforts for that always.
932  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling: Culture on: April 03, 2018, 09:17:08 AM
It's not bad to risk something and to try to profit because nothing would happen if you just keep it in a bank. It's going to be a hard one if you lose a lot but at least you did something about it. It could be a bad decision but for sure, there would be chances that you make the right one.
We can risk only if the outcome will be positive at least one time out of ten attempts. There will be no meaning of risking when you are be getting failure in all ten attempts. Most gamblers never bother about their outcome but they still keep trying among many failures and it has become their gambling culture. It is very unfortunate situation in my opinion because we should stop at some certain point when there will be no positive results out of our gambling.

Gambling may produce positive results in theoretical but when we are experiencing in real life we could never find any positive results. Our gambling culture must include an aspect which will be dealing what we should do when we are not getting positive results.
933  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When do you know its time to Stop? on: April 03, 2018, 07:37:32 AM
I think you need to set two goals, first one is how much you want to spend, and the second one is when you gonna stop, how much you want to get. You win or you lose it doesn't matter just stop after your limit is reached.

Yes actually to stop gambling it can be as simple as that, but unfortunately a lot of gamblers who can not do it. Actually it can be easy, how much money do you want to spend on gambling? and once it's reached, stop. So also with how many targets you want to get? and after you get it, stop it, continue the next day.
It is just self-control that does not allow some people to achieve that. Some feel if they can just do it one more time, probably there may be a winning chance. It is gambling and no one knows where the road may turn to at any point in time which is the main reason why we should always be very smart at the way we go about it.

We should always just stick with what we really want to gamble with and never cross that in any way, but like I said, it all has to do with self-control.
934  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The way to win in gambling on: April 03, 2018, 06:37:11 AM
Secondly, if you feel both teams have the same strength, you analyze the condition or condition of both teams at that time. That way you can see what is not in the two teams, you will be able to choose one.

if in other types of games it may not be that simple to win or even simpler anymore.

That is not possible for both team to have the same chance to win, there will always be some advantage over the others. Some sites allow live in game betting, that would be much better incase both team is pretty "equal". In this kind of circumstances, having the game run for few minutes might show which team has advantage over the other
If it is about both team having equal chance, then at that stage you are betting on your guts and that may relate to pure luck in the real sense of gambling. However, even if they have equal chance, there are sometimes you may have to look out for some things that may actually hinder one of the team from really winning and place your bet on that, but at the end, everything still balls down on luck anyway.
935  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To quit gambling is to quit yourself on: April 02, 2018, 01:20:10 PM
That's right. Use healthy activities like sports to be a substitute on your gambling time. They say that it takes 21 days for a person to make an activity as a habit that it could remove even your urge to gamble completely.

21 days is not so long. do other activities and do it regularly. With the new habits you do in your usual time for your old habits then you will replace those old habits with new habits. If you've started it you just need to be patient.
The question is whether the person can do his new habit regularly and be able to forget the habit of gambling at the same time? 21 days is not a short time if we talk about forgetting the daily activities that have become part of our lives.
That is why they can never do it alone and would always need the help of people they can trust to always help drifting their mind away from it totally. As time goes on, they will definitely get there but it is not an easy thing.

For those who have tried to do it alone, they have always at one point find themselves back over and over again, so it would be a stupid thing to do assume that possibility. However, as long as you have the mind to quit and you have those who are ready to help you, it would be easy.
936  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambler's mindset! on: April 02, 2018, 06:42:57 AM
I have tried to think what goes through my mind when ever I am trying to place a bet. I think something strange do happen to me and that is I always have this thinking that what if I lose, how am I going to feel! I have never want to lose in my mind I want to win always but I think this is impossible. Gamblers here did you always want to win all your bet? If you win all how will the gambling company makes profits?
I think the moment you enter a gamblng site you must have waved goodbye to your money already because you dont know what will be the fate of your money that day. Though no one really want to lose, the thought of being ready to let go of your money must be in our mind also.
Yes, that is the mentality that a lot of new gamblers have had which made them to lose everything. Some will even come up to say they have a winning strategy, only to find out that they have just lost everything they could have saved to do better things.

This is not a matter of earning money because it is never an investment or a real work, it is a game and I really hope some gamblers can start to think that way.
937  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Share your dice strategy on: April 02, 2018, 05:49:11 AM
Hey guys!
i need some new strategies
my bank: 0.5
share yours  Grin

I have several ways of playing dice, and I rarely experience defeat.
Do not depend entirely on luck, Throw away the idea that playing gambling is totally dependent on sheer luck. In fact playing the game also requires the name of playing skills.
If you use two dice then place a bet on a small number. Why should you put a small number on these 2 dice? Because this has been formulated by professional players that the potential bet will be translated by a percentage of 70% with the number of dice out is a small number.
I hope if this works for you in real life, it is going to work in online gambling sites which I totally doubt. I have played martingale and betting lo on dice before and that does not mean I still did not end up having long streaks. One may be lucky to play lo on dice and use this strategy in real life to at least keep doubling up as you keep losing until you get it right, but the provably fair setup on online gambling site to me are not actually provably fair as they seem.

Now we are at the levels where the last growth came from. I'll be watching from the sidelines. If now there is a correction of this growth, I will buy higher, when there will be a growth of 5% up.
Or, if we move down, I'll wait for the entry signals.
Well, good for you that you at least have a clear plan and strategy, but someone who does not and probably all that you have said may mean jargon to him, then he should just buy and hold, that is the essence. A dip comes, people miss it eventually because they are waiting for a dip and then they end up screwing themselves up badly when the market turns up and that is why you see people joining FOMO.

I guess at this stage, it is just better to tell people like this not to even bother buying or they can wait for as long as they want to, no one cares. If it is not glaring enough for someone who want to go long to always take advantage of the dip, then I wonder what they are really looking at.

Make bitcoin as an advantage to help you in your studies, even we know we can earn more in crypto we still need at least to have a degree for yourself and our family, it will be an accomplishment that can help us to achieve more in life ,it is a reward that bitcoin or money can't buy.
I do not even see any reason why he cannot combine the two together. It is not like working and earning bitcoin is a challenging thing to do, or probably he feels writing of 10 posts since I can see he is into bounty campaigns and believes that whatever he gets from it will set him up for life. Even if it does, at least it is important to finish school, get a degree and if lucky for some of what he earned to have grown, he can continue building his dreams from there.

The college gives you a start for development in a certain area. There are too many risks in trading. Most likely you can remain without education and without your investments. Think about the future, not just what you have at the moment.
Active trading may not be possible for anyone. But it will be possible over experience. After college anyone can choose trading but need to be more careful in the beginning days so that they can achieve what they actually plan up.
