There is no way that experience can be helpful in gambling as it is only based on luck, if you are lucky you win and if not then you loose as simple as that and if someone is admitting that he has won with the experience then that is not true for sure.
The question itself not asking for is that experience can make you win or not.
But more to how necessary you gamble with experience , so of course noone guarantee you to win experience.
But at least make you be more confident and know the situation what should you do with all the experience you have .
1202  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What Happen If Gambling was not introduced? on: March 30, 2017, 05:51:12 AM
I think if gambling was not introduced there will no people who risk their lives just for money. They just working hard to find and work in a stable job just to earn money. I don't know if it is a disadvantage or an advantage when gambling was not introduced, people will really work hard just to earn money.
I think that if gambling was never introduced, this world, this life will be a hundred times better than it is now where gambling rampant everywhere.
It's up to you for playing gambling just for a sake of entertainment or profit. Although gambling already introduced for very long time ago, we can't stop that Gambling industries and newcomers coming.
Those people who destroys their life for gambling is stupid and can't control their emotion while playing it.

It is a little bit exaggerated if you guys say the world will have better situation without gambling.
Sounds like BS , not really sure if anyone can imagine such that thing , gambling isn't that bad.
Always back to yourself whether can you treat gambling properly or not.
1203  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What keeps you coming back??? on: March 29, 2017, 09:27:04 PM
Every time I come back hoping that this time I will win big or hit the jackpot but it never happens and I keep on loosing my money but I don't know how to get rid of it or stop coming to gambling as I am addicted to gambling and now its hard to go back.
Same hope , same result . To gamble in the long run always make you looks bad.
You should gamble occasionally only to avoid addiction come to you faster.
I have no idea to get out of gambling addiction , so will be better to prevent it all before happened right?
1204  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dice isn't dice? on: March 29, 2017, 09:24:14 AM
Really interesting thought , according to wikipedia here  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dice_games , there is no a dice game rolls from 0 to 99.99.
Looks like we have a misleading/misguided definition about that game for long time enough.
The real dice game is of course rolling the two standard six-sided pipped dice with rounded corners, as time goes by it has changed.
1205  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you Rich from Gambling? on: March 29, 2017, 05:36:52 AM
On this forum much hard to find a person mostly are just struggling and in a circle of losing money again and again to the owners. I don't think any person can get rich by gambling with low bankroll.
If any person will be lucky then he do not need to bet with high bankroll as he then will win a high amount with a smaller bet. I have saw a number of people who have won bigger amount on online casino and betting sites on this forum with small bankroll. But it do not mean that any person who will gable will win like that.

If he has won with a small bankroll then its just a matter of luck and the fact is he was super lucky on that particular day which helped him to win bigger with a small amount but he cannot expect the same result each and every time and when there are more chances that if he bets with higher amount then he will be loosing his money.
Gambling even not profitable when you do it regularly, so how could gambling make you rich?
Even if you then lucky enough to win a huge amount in jackpot it will be a temporary status.
Unless if you completely quit gambling forever after that winning.
i think it is different from person to person. there are some people who are making good profit from gambling and they even depending on gambling for living. they have have good experience in trading and therefore they remain very  confident while playing gambling.
Indeed but how much people can do that perfectly without have bad ending?
You might win big and become rich , but is there any guarantee you will not come back to gamble and lost it all?
I don't think so , gambling mostly make a lot of people in misery rather than full of joy.
1206  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online Gambling vs Real Gambling on: March 29, 2017, 05:18:27 AM

If we talk about Roulette game, it is better in the real casino to compare online casino. My opinion is online casinos have hands on final results. And they have control on every roll. I visited real casino not in my country in another country there I got free entry because I was a foreigner. There I saw real Roulette games, and I don't feel anything like casino guys will cheat players.
I totally agree with you that there is no reason for casinos to scam us but i have heard in news that there are some casinos
who do something to other games like slot or something which is automatic to change the chance of winning. Even though
this type of situation happens in like 1 out of 50 casinos i still like online only because of that probably fair mark.

I think you need to play in a reputable casino site so that you will avoid this kind of scenario where the site rig the result of every spin of roulette.  though I agree that Casino offline is much better if you wanted to play roulette because you can adjust your bet whenever you see a roullete almost always giving you the same result and use it to your advantage.

If we are talking about roulette here, I would rather do it in a landbased casino instead of online based one. Because in a land based casino, I can see how the dealer throw the ball and I have a strategy where to place my bet. I have a fairly good winning percentage on roulette, maybe because we only have single "0" here, unlike European casino that have "00" which has more house edge. That's why I really enjoyed playing roulette game in a land based casino.
If you have bad evil thought on how a casino operating i think you will always find something to blame.
For example no matter it was in real casino or online casino , the dealer could place a magnet on certain number to cheat right?
So be positive , if you did not trust the casino just don't gamble and be quiet.
1207  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: In what situation would Bitcoin die? on: March 29, 2017, 05:06:49 AM
I dont see any issue being able to let bitcoin die, there are thousands of milions invested over bitcoin, i doubt any of those companies that had reached Roi they will let the most profitable investment to die due some issue. We are facing the split of opinions at the core, something that damage bitcoin, but this were inevitable, since we are different.
Some people looks like take advantage to build a new business with these core dissent.
A lot of people also think that once bitcoin get split , investor could be losing interrst and leaving.
Which means the end of bitcoin is near with that situation , i honestly worry about that issue too as an ordinary bitcoin holder.
1208  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you consider trading as gambling? on: March 29, 2017, 04:55:29 AM
Trading and Gambling are both same for me, as both are risky and waste of time, both involves risk of your money, which you can loose at any stage, so its better to stay away from both.


Yes, you are right they are both the same. Similar in that they both attempt to create a capital gain. Trading and gambling involve capital transfer without capital creation they are viewed skeptically, especially when their outcomes are unpredictable.
Trading is not a gambling in a sense that person can only lose some part of investment but in gambling chances of losing money become double. Trading required experience and if you have enough experience than you will have your invested money back with some profit while in case of gambling only luck matter, if you are lucky enough than you will win or lose your money.
If you believe on something like supertition or myth you might will always need luck on anything.
But if you want to be realistic then forget about luck or something like that.
And just stick on something visible such as you can maximize the winning chance in both trading or gambling by do some research, it is okay if you did not believe that certain gambling game can be analyzed , just the matter of different opinion.
1209  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to quit Gambling for good? on: March 28, 2017, 08:17:45 PM
I am of the opinion that you need to sit down and analyse the situation for your self and then get help from your family and also from a psychiatrist to help you to over come the urge of gambling more and more. In fact, this works with all most all the addictions. You will need to stay on track with the suggestions and recommendations given by psychiatrist. With some support of your family and also with determination, you can overcome any addictions, even gambling too.
Many things to do yeaaa , you need to take it as a serious problem when deal with an addiction.
Psychiatrist, family, friends and any other people around you that could support you.
But the most important thing is you have to change your mindset that gambling can make you earn money, delete it and start a new one.
1210  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: March 28, 2017, 08:31:23 AM
There's no wrong in gambling but if you doing such abusing to the people that surrounds you because of gambling then that's wrong.

No matter what happens with your gambling career as long you aren't hurting your parents and relatives out of this addiction.

Then you are just doing it fine.
True , but gambling identical to something destructive , something that could make you doing crazy thing.
Especially when you have reached the limit of your emotion , you do something out of your mind.
In most case gambling is wrong but not always.
1211  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling loses and wins on: March 28, 2017, 08:17:21 AM
Sometimes you win sometimes you lose. In the world of gambling it is what we call give and take. Yeah! Thats right. Because you are not perfect at all you have your own kind of mistake where theres no exemted to lose the game. It is you who plays weather you win or not.
Yes in gambling world the losses and wins are common. The lucky boy will get more wins, and the bad luck boy will get more losses. All depends on your luck. But in gambling to compare win percentage, the loss percentage is very high. We see a number of losers every day but only a few winners we see at the end of the day.
There will always two sides on anything and gambling gives you to option to choose on win or lost.
The fact that gambling is negative expected value , you will of course have losing bet much more.
It is just the matter how can you make it stay on the limit so you can make sure you are gambling for the sake of fun.
1212  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Go to Land Based Casinos? on: March 28, 2017, 08:00:58 AM
I have a casino membership just because its a nice place to go hang out but I dont especially gamble there.   Nice bar setup to drink at and talk and since its in the capital city, lots of good looking women out for the night.   A proper casino with the luxury some have is a hard setting to beat but almost all gambling the little I do is online while not distracted.
In my place it is really rare to see a real casino operating , mostly banned.
Hard to find one , so people just prefer to go open their laptop and logging in to online casino.
It sounds great to hear what you will get when you gamble in the real casino but the reality did not allow me to try.
1213  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: can I make 100$ in 2-3 month without a base money? on: March 27, 2017, 02:31:13 PM
Making $100 in a month without a base money or investment is possible, to achieve this user needs to spend long time than spending on a day job. If can afford base investment then surely it's possible to earn $100 in a short as trading gives good earning.
Just like alot of people said how about just simply sell your ability , i mean offering service and getting paid in bitcoin.
It is very possible to start earn money with zero capital as long as you have skill to offer.
Just to make it more clear, You have a good hand to design? Create logo and get paid, you are good in make a program/coding then do it and get paid etc. After that phase you may good to go to start trading.
1214  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to Win using martingale system? on: March 27, 2017, 02:13:27 PM
if you about to use martingale system you need a good money to play atleast lot of money but if you don't have money you can bet small coins like 1 satoshi is good to test and to analyze when the you lose or win in the next bet but its not really accurated where you will still encoutered 6 straight lose if im going to play i suggest you to play with your guts.
Martingale is too dangerous! you must be prepared to face 20+ losing streak.
i had once experienced 14 losing streak and the house gobbled up my entire bankroll.(around .17 btc)

Summation of (2^(20!)) is just so much. Even simply 2 ^ 20 is more than a million multiplied by your initial bet. That's too much risk just for you to get a profit same as your initial bet every time the multiplier hits more than 2.00x. There are also variations of martingale whereas they multiple by 1.65 or so instead of 2 and then cash out @5.00x. There's also reverse martingale, paroli, pluscoup, and whatnot. But honestly, has anyone ever won from these strategies in the long run? I think none. I always look up those autobettors on BustABit and most of them end up at negative balance.

The problem with the martingale strategy is that if you make very small bets, it will take a very long time to make a good profit and you are likely to get a long streak of losses since you have to make so many bets. And if you start with larger bets, you can't cover long streaks of losses.
Which means it is confirmed impossible to make martingale bets profitable right?
Nothing good , better you gamble occasionally but with the highest bet you can afford.
Stake it on fair odds such as on 1.99 or exactly 2 multiplier , and collect it all when you win or just leave it when you lost.
1215  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Giving up gambling is not easy on: March 27, 2017, 01:43:34 PM
Giving up gambling is quite easy, when you don't have any money left to gamble with, You will eventually stop gambling.

It may be easy for you but not for others who are severely gambling and can't get out of that addiction. It's why many are keep on making new years resolution and will stop gambling noted on it. But in the end after a couple of days, they are keep on coming back, addiction in gambling is a cancer we all know about it.

Who is a gambling addicted probably has traumas in life and uses gambling to escape from their own life. The person isn't sick because he is a gambling addicted, he is a gambling addicted because he is a sick person.

Everyone has the capacity to think bigger, to have hobbies and dreams, life can't be so low and restrict to something like gambling... Overcome your traumas and you will overcome addictions.
Usually those who are addicted in gambling are those who are emotionally weak, they cannot control their emotion when they lose a big amount and 
it would lead them to gamble more to chase for the loses. The more they are getting expose the more gambling become as a part of their daily activity and that exposure can easily make a person addicted, hence, to be safe we need to evaluate our emotional capacity and if we are weak we should
not enter in gambling.
Yes those who are weak and can't control your emotions stay away from this gambling. This will make people get big tension while playing games. If you do not control your emotions means you will lose all your money. And this type of gamblers will addict to gambling very quickly. They will struggle a lot to come out from this gambling addiction. 
No matter what kind attitude you have when it comes to gambling you will looks greedy.
Then when you become greedy already there is no easy way to leaving it.
There will always a feeling to keep going no matter how hard you trying to leave, it is really addictive.
1216  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much can u lose with gambling? on: March 26, 2017, 10:01:14 PM
Well I would only gamble some left overs from my pocket so it wouldn't bother me even if I lose,
Maybe a few bits wont hurt so maybe about 0.002 Bitcoin would do.
I have lost so much before and right now i mostly only play with amount that i can actually afford to loss. I don't earn much so i can't afford to loss more than 0.05BTC per day but yesterday i loss around 0.48BTC  Angry so no gambling for next 10 days.  Wink
I believe most people who gamble have no limit on how much they can afford to lose.
Gambling really makes you out of control especially when you get an awful streak lost.
You will keep playing and keep depositing in hope to recover the lost, unfortunately it always failed and you have unlimited amount to lost in the end.

1218  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: what is definition gambling in your mind? on: March 26, 2017, 08:59:06 PM
In my mind, gambling is completely addictive because even though we lose in gambling we felt comfortable playing again. For me, gambling is one type activity which we can refresh our mind and lose all the tension while playing, though losing I won't bother much about it.

That is addictive, that's true, but OP wants to know if how we look at gambling, is it a game? or an investment?

For me it is an investment. I am there to earn and not just to have fun. If its just a game, then no one will be there to play. Everyone is there to win and not just to waste time. If gambling is a game and no money is at stake, for sure, only few will be there to play.
Quite complicated with your understanding , gambling is clearly not an investment.
It was game of money , something that can make additional money through a game.
When investment is purchasing an item in hope to get an income. Really doesn't makes sense you consider gambling as investment.
1219  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: how to start trading with a very small amount on: March 23, 2017, 03:25:01 PM
as i am a newbie.. i know nothing about trading... what should i do to start trading and multiply my btc.. guys please help me
If you have 0.01btc.you can invest it in any of the following altcoins as their price is going up.Ethereum,Dash,Monero,Decred.Dont be panic.Fix your profit limits as 5 or 10%.When you get it,just sell your altcoin to buy BTC.Just continue this process.You will get good experience.
Don't spread that 0.01 btc to different coins because you would get small profit because of high price of each coin you mentioned.
Stick to 1 coin and make an order at least +10% from buy order for short profit and repeat it.
Seriously? 0.01 and spread it to 4 or 5 altcoin?
How much profit you expect then lol , 5%? 0.00005? What you can do with that low amount profit by the way?
Of course nothing , so better to keep it until at least reach 0.1 bitcoin , feel like wastig time to earn 0.00005 or so.
1220  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you can control your self when playing gambling? on: March 23, 2017, 03:12:22 PM
I'm usually able to quit before I lose too much. It's hard to stop sometimes because you want to try to get it all back, but you have to stop at some point and realize that the house usually wins.
Most of the time gamblers were aware that gambling house wins, but the winning hope as well the easy earning makes us to get stick to it. As mentioned realisation is must to have a regular participation. Else can just play and needs to end in a short because no one has a continuous luck.
We are surely aware of that reality but seem like we love to neglect it, we are still very aggressive to gamble and all we think is just to have the chance of wining. Most of the gamblers loses because we are one sided, we only think of the reward but we failed to evaluate the risk.
completely agree with your opinion , people lured by how high potential amount to win in gambling.
but ignore every aspect that actually could leading to something bad.
such as a broke , poor and ruin your relationship with people around you.
When you are in need of money and you gamble, you are prone to temptation and there is a big chance you cannot control yourself when you are winning or losing so much. Based on my observation, most of the people who have misfortune in gambling are those who are not living with financial freedom, they are those who are desperate to make money and instead of treating gambling for fun they take it as an option to make fast money.
That's true , gambling when you are underpressure encouraged to get profit always make things worse.
You should never treat gambling like that , it is a blunder isn't it?
Better to find another time when your situation cool without having problem , so you can makes sure everything under control and gambling properly .
