I think we won't come up with a solution to our gambling problem or we will always end up in problem if we keep on betting. Better stop.

There will be no solution, the only way is to stop betting however I doubt if people actually understand what it takes to stop this. People need to be aware that the word addicted is not really related to gambling, it is not something that could ruin yourself even if you stop immediately unlike drugs therefore it is silly when people say they cant stop

You are not interested in facing any problems then better stop gambling. In the beginning, there is no problem in gambling once we get to earn money and after that, if we get lost from there the actual problem will start. But quitting gambling is not easy, the addicted gamblers know that pain. They are ready to quit but they can't this is a problem in gambling.
Honestly, if you would ask me, I can only count how many times I earn money from gambling because most of time I lose my bankroll. Maybe, we have to accept as early as possible that we can never gonna win if we are not making it seriously. What I mean is, if you are serious, you would do the necessary things in gambling, and one of the most important is to have a decent bankroll.
Right many gamblers are like you, and they only make a record for their winning streaks. Becasue we get very less winning streaks in gambling. If you start to count your losing streaks, you will never come back to gambling again. That much amount we lose in gambling. So if you solve this problem, you will not face any problem in gambling, means if you maintain your loss record you will get to know how much you lost and you will think whether you continue gambling or not.
882  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you can control your self when playing gambling? on: February 06, 2017, 12:51:11 PM
Yes, I can control my self while gambling.I don't lose temper by seeing big jackpot price.Many gamblers keep praying to beat the odds and hits the jackpot.But it's true that a addicted gambler can't control him most of time and lost his money.
Praying is not sufficient enough to win the jackpot and if you are lucky enough at a given time you will be winning the jackpot without much sweat.Every addicts think that they have everything under control and only when they lose everything they would open their eyes and see the misery they made .I have my budgets and win or lose i wont add more.
that's true , everytime we start to play there is a lot of confidence that you will stop playing at certain amount profit or losing limit , but well everything changes within a secs when you have sit on the table . the atmosphere was too good to be missed to keep playing , and most of the times people just ended up losing and walk away with full of regret.
Yes, we must play gambling with proper planning means we need to fix one amount and we must stop that amount cross. This much control you have in your play you can stop your play at the right time. I will not fix one exact amount, but I will put one eye on my losses if I get to know I am losing more money I will stop my play. And will play some other time or another day again.
883  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Difference between Bitcoin and real money? on: February 06, 2017, 12:43:06 PM
I've discovered Bitcoin few days ago, but I am skeptical about few things, why would I invest money in Bitcoins at the end of the day,why would I convert money into Bitcoins?

If I want to buy stocks or invest money I can easily invest with real $. Why would I convert my $ to bitcoins?
If I want to gamble , I can simply gamble on websites that require $ as currency, why would I convert it to bitcoins?
What's the difference between Bitcoins and dolars? What does bitcoin bring to the table that real $ don't, less taxes, more income?

The first point is acceptable if you have real currency then no need to convert that into Bitcoins. You can invest directly through $. But if you want to invest in any casino sites you need to convert BTC to $ they will accept digital currency and why you need to invest only BTC means the price is very high and in future, it cross 1500$ per BTC you will get good profit. Second point if we do online gambling with $ you need to pay through credit/Debit cards all transaction will be track, so if gambling is illegal in your country you will get problems from your IT department.
884  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would you still use Bitcoin if price would be stable for years? on: February 06, 2017, 12:31:31 PM
If bitcoin prices were to be stable more people would officially adopt it and I wouldn't  stop using it.
Currently a number of people are accepting bitcoin because they are seeing that the price of bitcoin will increase more higher in price but you are also right that if the stability occurred in price then those people who want to store only their money in bitcoin then they will start to put their money in bitcoin as they will want to hide their money for the sake of security from robbers and thieves.
Not only from robbers and thieves people will start to hide the money from the government. Yes, we have a number of big shots in all countries, Now they all saving their black money in Swiss banks and other private places. Once the BTC price is stable for years, they will start to put their black money in the form of bitcoins. Correct?  We can use Bitcoin for any purpose legal or illegal but if the price stable many people will use this BTC for an illegal purpose.
885  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Daily use of bitcoin? on: February 06, 2017, 12:25:23 PM
I dont use my bitcoins at my real life, usually the bitcoins i do have i do invest into altcoins, bitcoin has several ways to be used and spent online, using it on daily basic nowadays isnt something we could do directly, make payments does have a big delay to confirmation, but in the future something can change.
in fact most of the people cannot use bitcoin in their daily life. because in most of the area bitcoin shops are not available and therefore most of the people first change their bitcoin into fiat and the use the income of bitcoin. although in some places the facilities of bitcoin shops are available.
Even in these places it is probably already possible to use Bitcoin to make payments, as there is the possibility of using Bitcoin debit cards. If you do some research, you will realize that there are many companies offering the service for those who want to have a card, but all of them have high fees, and that's one reason I'm not yet using it.
Yes, i heard this facility. In Singapore this card is available, we can withdraw direct cash through this debit card. But the transaction charges is very high. Instead of using this Debit card you can use another way to convert BTC to fiat, it will save some money. Taking money from a debit card is safe you no need to give any bank details to deposit your money, but the thing is extra charges is very high. Otherwise, it is good to convert BTC to local currency.
886  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is the best source of bitcoin nowadays? on: February 06, 2017, 12:17:00 PM
I thing man skill power is the best source of bitcoin nowadays.If you guys are good knowledge of bitcoin also have experienced web design such of IT skill there so many market place here and there.If you little bit research those job you should be confirmed you are guys are lucky as you knowing this earlier.

Getting a job which pays you in bitcoin is the best method. Computer based freelance work here that I have seen accept bitcoin. Its better to work on your skills and develop them. Then someone maybe willing to hire you for working on their project and you can get paid.

Other than that trading is good if you analyse the market and buy low, sell high, the general strategy of traders. Again altcoin trading is profitable.

Mining is good for those who are living in places where electricity is cheap and other costs are well within limits.
Finding a job which pays in bitcoin is really hard. In an article came across an incident where employees were paid in bitcoin in Indonesia. Very rarely can find such employers providing in terms of bitcoin. Mining is good, but for the same we need to be knowledgeable. To gain knowledge as well mining equipment's we need time as well investment.
Nothing is easy, but you can make it easy. Just exposing your skill set is not a big deal if you get work it is a bonus if not you can make Bitcoin from any other work that's it. According to my knowledge, many online workers are accepting bitcoin as payment because the price of BTC is making them accept Bitcoin. Apart from this Mining is good but we need big investment and yes cheap electricity area. 
887  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To Gamble or To Invest? on: February 05, 2017, 06:50:06 PM
patience will be the good answer when we playing gambling but i do not think that every gambler can do it so we need to learn in patience.

I dont really see anything related from gambling with patience. Even if you are patience enough, the result is already guaranteed, if you are meant to lose then you are going to lose. If it is a provably fair casino, all you can do is to change your seed hash however it wont really guarantee you to win as well especially when it is EV-, it is going to be much worse in the long run
Patience will certainly apply to games where there's no house edge, that is needed because sometimes we act like a child where we cannot control our emotion. Though losing is part of the game, we have to get back to the winning side slowly and patience is what we need. It is not guaranteed that it could give us some winning moment but somehow it is very helpful especially in the long run.

You are so wrong on this. First of all there is almost no game without house edge on it. Second is that when there is no house edge, variance could be wild. You are either going to win or lose in the long run, no one can tell what is going to happen and patience is not going to help you win at all
Yes in gambling patience will not help you to win your bet it's all depends on your luck. But this patience will help you to make a profit in Investment. Here you need time to make a profit so how much patiently you will wait that much profit you will earn. If lost your patience you will lose money. If you ask me to gamble or to invest, i will suggest you go with to investment.
888  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Starting sports betting on: February 05, 2017, 06:36:37 PM

You are more likely to bet if you are fond of the sport and you know the players. If you are a fan of lebron james, you are likely to bet on basketball games on directbet. Or if your national sport is cricket which I think the Indians are more into it, they are probably betting more to it than on boxing which most men do like boxing.

I still bet on MMA but only to certain fighters like Anderson Silva and Dods Johnson or someone I like such as Damian.

I guess OP must start with some YouTube videos to know more how effectively start sports betting.
Yes, YouTube videos are always very good guide to get start with any type of gambling I learned many strategies for my dice gambling so definitely OP will get many tips from YouTube videos for better betting on sports.

There will be no confusion on choosing the right games for our betting only if we listen into our interests.

If I'm also interested to know who those athletes are, I search them on youtube.
Yup, which games you familiar and which games you know players very well and in which game you can able to predict you choose that game. I like football, cricket, Tennis others games I am not familiar. But if I get to know any game that the winning percentage is very high I will bet on that game. Simply I will take the risk to bet on unknown games.
889  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why we still gambling while we always lose? on: February 02, 2017, 06:24:11 PM
In gambling we just know about two things
These are
Win or lose
But the question is when you do betting
You always lose
You do realize about it but why we still go through on betting place?!!!
Apologoze if my topic have already exist it just about my interesting about your opinion about my experiences
The reasons will depend on person mindset, Some people will play for frustration because of their previous loss, and some people will play to get back there loss. And some people will play to make more profit, and someone will play to have fun. All know the gambling is not for money but still, they play because of these reasons.
890  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to make governments accept bitcoin? on: February 02, 2017, 06:15:09 PM
Government cant have control on bitcoin. So this scenario is just a fantasy. Government will never accept bitcoin. Government likes to regulate everthing. Government will never accept this kind of technology because they will never gonna have access to it. But the government will never control peolple.
Yes the govt will never accept bitcoin until the bitcoin users pay tax to governments. In any country, if the govt will get the revenue they will accept any business. If they do not get any profit, they will never think about that project. The bitcoin is in this category the govt will not get any tax from bitcoin transaction, so some countries banned bitcoin. And some country announced it is illegal currency.
891  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Great way to make Bitcoin! on: February 02, 2017, 05:57:06 PM
The greatest ways to make bitcoins is from trading and from signature campaign and if you have any technical skills then it will be an added advantage as you can sell your services and can earn bitcoins regularly as you don't have to invest any money into it the only thing you invest is your time and efforts.
Trading is a good way to earn some money if you have the patience and the bank roll to enter the coin at the right time and to exit at a profit and multiply your coins but making money from signature campaign is not true as it is not easy to make the money as you say from a campaign as the rates are really low.

You know i earn better from signature campaign than trade, Because in trading all your coins on the risk, and in signature campaign our bitcoin is not on the risk, if we do work than we earn from it. But it is right, we earn not high but we could earn from signature campaign.

Yes, Trading means to invest your money and earn a profit, but in the signature campaign, there is no investment the bitcoins will come for our hard work. And here no loss this is 100% profit. The payment also not low approximately we can make 150+$ per month in signature campaign. So now tell me which is better to earn Bitcoins Trading or Signature campaign?
892  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: When do you plan to sell? on: February 02, 2017, 10:58:33 AM
my target was 1k. but when it was 1k i did not sold  Grin
Oh, what happened? Why did you not sell your coins it meets your goal already of thousand and it greater it reaches 1.1k.
So, me, I was planning too to sell bitcoin when it reaches to thousand but then I expect too much that it will rise again but then I was totally wrong.
don't worry for the current price down. bitcoin price will increase again for sure. and if you think it will not increase again than you can still sell yours.. there is not so big difference between 1000 and 900.. only 100$ less. but 900$ is much better than 500 or 600$.. it can drop also.
i do not think that bitcoin going to drop to such a low price. currency the price of bitcoin is expecting to rise more and more and hope that very soon it will cross 1200 $.  therefore i think it is still not a good time to sell your bitcoin. you should wait a little more when the rice cross 1200 $ but it is also expected that the price of bitcoin will this time reach to 1500 in next few months.
Those who missed selling their bitcoin when the price was 1k. Now again you guys got a chance to sell your coins. The present price of Bitcoin is 992$. If you satisfy for this price, you can sell your coins. But from last 1 week, the price is increasing slowly. So my opinion is if you wait for few more days you may get bit more profit. But I am not sure because I don't have trust on bitcoin price. 
893  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Most of the money on: February 02, 2017, 10:34:53 AM
I often make a profit on sports betting, but I prefer to make a parlay so can get higher odds and this is some of my victory Smiley
in my opinion, sports betting it's easy enough to predict, because I usually choose the great teams.
[i mg]https://i.imgur.com/kzpj2yB.png[/img]
Like many gamblers here, you are also making your most of money from sports betting, and thanks for sharing the proof. If you share some tips on selecting great teams and how to do parlay, it would be very much useful for many beginners who are just aiming for how to excel in sports betting. Your results are really inspiring and makes me to try sports betting right away.
Sports betting taking tips from experts is good, but if you play based on only experts suggestion you will not learn anything, and you will not get confidence once you get any long run loss. So better do sports betting in which game you have more knowledge and you can able to predict the game. If not the slot games and sports betting there is no difference for you both are same, means the result depends on your luck.   
894  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you care about bonuses on btc casino ? on: February 02, 2017, 10:25:59 AM
i don't care usually very difficult to get a casino bonus, I like sports betting in directbet in there you have to get 5,000 loyalty points to get bonus reward vip 0.02 BTC (20mbtc) and to earn 1 loyalty point you must bet 0.001 BTC (1mbtc) so you should bet 5 BTC just to get the reward of 0.02 BTC during the month. it was impossible for me
impossible if you do it intentionally, you should keep that bonus in your mind while playing , it is not worth. but if you do it not intentionally the bonus will fee so good , they have interesting bonus system , i really love to play there.

so when you chasing the bonus, you should not keep it in your mind during the game.
I will also do sports betting in Directbet site, and the site is good for betting, And yes if we keep that bonus in our mind and play means we will not get concentrate on our betting. And there is a possibilities are there to lose our bets. So just do your betting, and if you achieve the target, you will get a bonus if not no that's it. But I care about extra money, and also I am not ready to spend more money to get extra money.
895  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to spot a gambler addicted? on: February 02, 2017, 10:05:12 AM
If you gamble away more than you can afford to lose, then you are probably addicted. If you can't find a time to quit and cut your losses, then you are probably addicted to gambling.
as simply as like that , i agree with your clear and concise statement.
when you gamble still on the limit amount you should not have to worry to get addicted later.
those people is over-exert yourself, they know they cannot keep getting a win but still go for it however.
In gambling addiction, the money does not matter, if you play with a small amount or big amount no matter. The thing is how much time you are spending per day in gambling. If you play whenever you get free time and not make this is an habit then you are ok. But if you can not get sleep without playing gambling and you know you are in loss but still you feel like to play then you are addicted to gambling.
896  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who is winning the Race - Bitcoin or Paypal? on: February 02, 2017, 09:54:40 AM
As an online payment platform, Bitcoin appears to have all the advantages over Paypal, making it hot for the online gambling world too.

Read more: https://bitcoincasinos.reviews/bitcoin-is-winning-the-popularity-race-against-paypal/
Paypal can never beat BTC because Bitcoin is anonymous and can be used by "all" without any rules and regulation whereas paypal has too many rules and regulations for some countries ( Like mine ) so I would blindly say Bitcoin is 100 % ahead of Paypal .

Paypal is too complicated for me. I tried it once and failed and since then I never try to use it again. It is so hard to verify my account when there is no local bank can be used to do so. And with bitcoin, I never find something intricate. All works as expected.

We don't have PayPal access in all countries. The online workers who accept PayPal payment and don't have access to withdraw that amount they are paying an extra charge to some 3rd person to deposit that amount to there any local bank. This is too much complicated and has a lot of restrictions in PayPal transaction. But in bitcoin, we don't have any restrictions to send or receive BTC. So I will prefer BTC.
897  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Did gambling get you into Bitcoin or did Bitcoin get you into gambling? on: January 31, 2017, 06:07:26 PM
Bitcoin got me into gambling. In the first days of knowing bitcoin, i were really amazed at its price which made me really want to earn some and save some in the future and make some profits by trading. But what happened next is not really a good one. My urge in earning more bitcoin pushed me really fast closing to gamble which i was introduced to and just after an hour my first bitcoins was gone. And here i am still earning bitcoins though i dont want to lose that again through gambling.
to me as i play gambling for last 20 years, but i i will also like to tell you that gambling did not show me the way of bitcoin. i heard about bitcoin from a friend and after that i start interest in bitcoin, so i will like to say i am not using bitcoin because of gambling  and nor i am playing gambling because of bitcoin. but it is also a fact that now i am plying online gambling using bitcoin, while playing gambling in casino i use my fiat currency.
You are great 20 years experience in gambling field I think you became a pro in gambling. For you, the bitcoin is just a source to play online gambling, But for me, i entered this gambling filed because of bitcoin. Before this, i just played small betting with friends with fiat currency. The bitcoin get me into gambling.
898  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you could create your own Bitcoin gambling site, what would you do better? on: January 31, 2017, 05:53:04 PM
If I was running my own bitcoin gambling site, then apart from this forum, I would definitely focus on attracting customers or people from outside the bitcoin world. Maybe do giveaways in other forums for bitcoins and hence it will introduce them to bitcoins and at the same time will also be an introduction to gambling to which my site would be the first one that they would see.

Rather than focusing on people who are not related to bitcoins , it is better to focus on people currently involved in bitcoins. Best way to permote bitcoins gambling site is to start a signature campaign in this forum. Believe me you will attract a lot of customers in this way.

Approaching to new people is a good idea but first, we need to attract currently who all involved in bitcoin activity. If you are site is good These people will tell their friends to play on your site like this the users will increase day by day. This is free publicity for your site. And the signature campaign is must, if you do not create a signature campaign, you will lose more players.
899  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If money would not be a problem, would you still gamble? on: January 31, 2017, 05:45:48 PM
Gambling is always for entertainment purposes. Don't tell me I am a good poker player and sports analyst so I gamble for profit. Because i'm pretty sure successful poker players and sports bettors love what they are doing. 

For some people they do not care about money but if they loss, sometimes something bad may happen such like criminal activity or suicide
It's really depend on their enviroment and their attitude on how they can afford to lose against gambling
Yup some people will not control their loss, they are ready to do anything in that time. Those who have guts they will involve in criminal activities and those who not they might commit suicide this is possible. I think we have proof for this incidents. Yes, it fully depends on person attitude and present of mind. So here money is the problem if it is not we can play.
900  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why bitcoin is not supported in some countries? on: January 31, 2017, 10:32:01 AM
Other countries doesn't support bitcoin because government is strict about taxes, but in my country its been permited because it helped a lot of people who seeks opportunity of money using digital currency income. The online wallet in my country is been taxed by the government, thats why its been allowed to used by people and legal to everyone who has freedom.
You are lucky your government is supporting bitcoin transaction. Which country do you belong to?  In my country, we don't know our government is thinking about bitcoin or not. Becasue we will not see any news regarding this bitcoin in my country. But some exchange companies are making money by using this our govt negligence. I don't know when our govt will think about this bitcoin and accept it as legal currency.
