Maybe  you should also add some info about bans, 50% of posts in the meta are about bans. Explain what is the sig+ad ban and what is the permanent ban and that you can get unbanned if you appeal your ban months later, that kind of stuff would be super useful to clean the meta section from the bans spam

Gambling does not have any significant advantages it only has many major disadvantages.


Gambling is the human nature of some people. They want to have some excitement during the gambling process. This is also a form of entertainment. All entertainments cost money.
completely untrue, there are so many ways people can find sources of entertainment without having to spend money, and gambling is not at all "human nature." our society would be in a sorry state and overrun by casinos at every block if gambling was at all an inherent part of human nature. all it is that some people find gambling more thrilling than other forms of entertainment, and end up addicted.

Well, what's really in humans nature right now is money, almost everyone wants and needs money so of course a lot of people are going to gamble, a lot of people who lost money on gambling aren't always addicts or idiots, they just were desperate because they needed the money for ''x'' thing.

I feel like people here overreact extremely hard over trust ratings. I get your point but people with mental illness conditions are always going to overreact about anything, you can't ask people not to give trust ratings because they might have a mental illness and they could hurt themselves or something along those lines.

Really nice but in order for this to work someone has to pin it to the meta section so new people can actually see it before posting the same questions over and over. By the way, shouldn't it be ''A FAQ'' instead of ''an'' ?
905  Other / Meta / Re: How can I earn trust on Bitcointalk? on: November 22, 2015, 09:01:40 PM
You have to trust a lot of things even if you don't want to. I assume you use bitcoins and I assume you used a few exchanges until now, you basically trusted them without even knowing them. The escrows work very well here and rarely someone has been scammed by an escrow. There is always risk.

If you want to earn trust, don't try to earn trust. I know it seems redundant but it's the best way to earn ''real'' trust

Alt.Bilbao vs Granada CF Alt.Bilbao to win and also over 1.5 goals are the bets for what I am going tonight to place . Single match for Spanish ligue for today.

yeah I'm sure Athletic Bilbao will win, I think there are other games Spanish league that will surely win too, is a Atletico Madrid Smiley



Yeah i am also hopeful about Ath. Bilbao and Atletico Madrid will win their matches .

I am doubtful about Ath. Bilbao this match can have draw result but Atletico Madrid will win its match for sure because it is more strong team.

I voted for Granada, they seem stronger and the match is 1-0 in favour of granada already, im confident they will swing this win. Atletico de madrid it's pretty strong as a team always and they will most likely win but im not going to bet for them

It is not just my bad experience - I really enjoyed playing PrimeDice and I still play it from time to time but do not expect anything unreal. I just mean that winning is extremely difficult so it's better not to gamble OR - as you pointed - gamble responsively (rather hard to achieve Wink )

Most people knows that they can't win money from gamble but still they try very hard to win until they lose all there money that it very bad part in gambling. I don't see any advantages from gambling except some one using gambling for fun then it can be very entertaining to pass some free time and if one is lucky during this fun time they can win big money as well.

Ehm people play because you CAN actually win money from gambling. Some people win some lose. No one says you can't win money with dice, of course you can, you wont be able to do it forever but you can win a lot of money if you are lucky enough otherwise no one would play.

Every one thinking like you that they can win big money from dice so they are hoping for the best and playing. Even though many people share their experience one can't win in dice but like you guys thinks that they can beat the house edge and still want to burn their money in dice games. I do agree just play for fun and if you win during fun time then your lucky Smiley

Maybe you should stop spamming for your sig campaign and read more the next time. YOU CAN WIN from gambling, that's the whole point of gambling, if no one could win anything no one would play but you can definitely win right now, you go to a dice site deposit 1 bitcoin and bet on 50%, 1/2 of winning, if you win thats it you won, of course if you keep playing you will eventually lose in the long run.

yesterday when i watch on tv, real madrid is like amateur football team, surely this year trophy la liga is for barcelona again. i cant think what a score will real madrid get when they playing on nou camp later

The season just started, but if you are so confident, why do not you bet on Barcelona to win La liga? Grin

I remember last season Real Madrid started really unstopable, but then a lot of their players injured (Bale, Rodriguez, etc.) and they started losing ground to Barcelona, which finally won the trophy.

I was going to bet that barcelona will win La liga but you win so little from that, that is not worth it and it's really early to be confident enough although they performed wonderfully in the last match.

Villarreal - Eibar

Granada CF - Ath. Bilbao

Betis - Atl. Madrid

Im going to bet like 0.01 for villareal on 1-0 2-0 3-0 and 3-1 the odds are big and you profit with one of them being correct because they pay more than x5 at least. I think it's perfectly possible for eibar to score a goal against villareal but only if it's on the first half and villareal hasn't scored.

i think that there are couple advantages such as winning a lot of money or getting high quality entertainment by playing

I woulnd't call gambling ''high quality entertainment'' Not many people play gambling games for pure entertainment. 90% of people look to win money and not to have fun when they are gambling otherwise no one would be gambling on boring games like dice or roulette and they are boring, real roulettes are super boring unless you are risking money.
911  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Spanish League Prediction Thread (La Liga) on: November 21, 2015, 08:39:21 PM
I placed my bet on 0-3 and now im scared because barcelona got there too fast, still 30 minutes of game and it looks like they might score 4 even 5 goals. Im going to try some live betting maybe I see something good
You are right I am also expecting 2 or 3 more goals as they are playing right now currently 2 visitors punishing badly home teams Liverpool and Barcelona

Thankfully i placed another bet live for 0-4 and ended up profiting slightly but that could have gone very badly, i would have never expected 0-4 before the match.

913  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Buy low or sell high. What is better? on: November 21, 2015, 06:09:59 PM
I'd buy at the daily minimum

because then I would be able to sell at the highest rate and make profits of off the buying price

 Cheesy

Could you give me the code/algorithm/<whatever> to determine if the current price is the daily minimum? It seems you got some great concept, and I'm interested to implement it! Thanks in advance!

Well look at the price for the past week, bitcoin has been swinging between 310-330 everyday and you can benefit from it easily but there will be a day where bitcoin either goes way higher or gets dumped like 50-100$ and you might just lose all your previous profit
914  Other / Meta / Re: List of Spammers on the Lending section on: November 21, 2015, 04:23:21 PM
The lending section is a complete and utter farce. The lenders demand 120%+ collateral and absolutely obscene interest rates. Either you loan with reasonable security and reasonable rates, OR you take on high risk loans with high interest. You can't have it both ways......they want no risk and super high interest. That would get you thrown in jail in most countries............and it is giving the forum a huge black eye. Loan sharks and sig spammers are taking crypto into the dreary depths far below where any pawnshop or normal banker would dare tread. IMHO the loan section should simply be closed since people are unwilling to moderate it.

Well here is the thing, real life loans are much much bigger than the loans here. You have 0.01 BTC loans and even less, of course they will ask for a huge interest otherwise they win nothing in return. It doesn't really matter since 99% of the loans here are either a scam or for gambling purposes. It should be indeed moderated way more than it is now.

If you can't stay away from gambling, why don't you create your own gambling site instead lol.
This way you earn while not gambling but still in the gambling business ha!


I cant get away from Gambling myself. I mean gambling section I'm required to post here because of the signature campaign I'm into Smiley

Gambling: if you can't handle, don't start playing.

How do you know if you can handle it or not if you haven't played? I would say anyone who is scared of getting addicted shouldn't play because they probably will if they are scared before even playing. I was somewhat addicted to gambling but never used my own money so in a way it wasn't that bad.
917  Other / Meta / Re: Weird bug viewing some threads on: November 21, 2015, 04:11:02 PM
Hey shorena, did this happen to you before or did it start now? I haven't experienced anymore since I posted that, pretty weird, Im not sure what caused it but it's gone now.
918  Other / Meta / Re: List of Spammers on the Lending section on: November 21, 2015, 11:14:47 AM
I think not only on the lending section, also on the digital goods and auctions sections. There's a lot of people posting nonsense post asking for account details even though they are really not interested. They keep on saying the "price is high", " is signed message available", "reduce starting bid bla bla", " what's the potential activity" , "what's the post quality" , etc. That's why when I sell an account, I always make a self moderated thread, too bad I can't do it on the auctions section.

Yes, it's true that on digital goods and auctions that happens too, the problem is that sometimes they might be genuinely interested in the specific thing that is being sold. We would have to consider spammers only the ones who mostly post on those sections and even those could be legit buyers. It's harder to decide who is a spammer there.
919  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The 10 bitcoin traders you must follow on Twitter on: November 20, 2015, 11:40:59 PM
What benefit does following Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss give people? Nothing. 75% of the things they tweet about are things we already know.

Do you reall think you would have any benefit for following any of them? Even if one of them knew exactly what will happen with bitcoin, having a lot of followers would just change it because they would all do what he told them to do and that would change the outcome of the bitcoin price.

The only person from the list here that I follow is Roger Ver. I don't benefit from his tweets in any way, but at least certain tweets from him are interesting enough to make me follow him. With my previous post I meant that the Winklevoss bro's are the least interesting people to follow from the list here.

They might be interesting but the point of OP was ''as a way to disseminate important market information that can influence price changes.'' And my point is that they don't really influence the price changes at all and if they did they would all have the same ideas always and they don't.
920  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Any advantages from gambling? on: November 20, 2015, 11:35:29 PM
I saw people discussing only issues of gambling but no one telling about advantage. So many gambling houses are coming up so is there any advantages to player or houses?

•  Low house edges mean you have a greater chance of winning
•  Winning is fun
•  Gambling is (should be) fun!

Every one thinks like that low house edge and they can win but at the end house will win all your money. So do not play games based on only low house edge instead you can bet on sports where there is no house edge at all. So you have more chances to win if you know player and team strengths.

Agreed with you, its always better to go for sports betting as there are more chances of wins and making some profit. If you have good knowledge about sports and you can predict the results then no one can stop you from making the money. The best part of sports betting is there are no house edge as you said.

Excuse me but you don't know what you are talking about, just because there is no house edge it doesn't mean you will win more money on sports betting. Your odds of winning will be unkown but not necessarily better than games with house edge. To make profit in the long term with sport betting you need more than just knowledge of the sport you are picking to bet.
