I am not agree with you someone can play gambling in a perfect way.Gambling never makes someone perfect.someone can win big some times but at the end he must loose.some people have good luck they win on gambling but every time his luck not with him.someone had good luck and he win big but if he continue with gambling he must loose all.there is no way play gambling in a smart way.

No one is perfect but you can be better if you gamble. It's the reason why there are some gamblers that are asking about good strategy and ways of handling their money. They might not be perfect but they want to excel themselves in their career on gambling but the sad fact is it's very hard to depend on it.
Lol do you really think you can have a better situation with gambling?
Such as a better financial status? I don't think so , i even think it will only make your financial messed up.
And of course there's no smart way , considering gambling itself a bad moves .

Indeed. Gambling is meant to make the owner become the winner. If you start to think that gambling can make you better off, you are totally living in a delusion. That is also why some of them begin to destroy their own family by over gambling and keep thinking that they will be able to recover their losses.
That's sounds like an addict who trying for chasing losses everytime they play and lose again and again.
Hard to judging people such as are they gamble in smart way already or not? Are they get profit or not etc.
I just can suggest to not even call anything as a smart way  , until you prove yourself you are in profit even for long term.
762  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Does Bitcoin have a future? on: July 20, 2017, 03:38:17 PM
I just read on Btcjam blog that they are closing down: https://blog.btcjam.com/2017/05/25/btcjam-is-closing/, now I am just wondering if big players in thebitcoin industry are closing down, is there any future for bitcoin really.

I came to know about bitcoin through btcjam when i was introduced there to borrow. Eve in this forum, looks most signature campaigns might close down because of the ever rising price of bitcoin. Most of them have reduced their payout amounts for posting by more than 50%. Is this a good sign or a bad sign for the bitcoin development?

BTC have a good future as it is standing as a Digital currency which the world is leading to now which adapts digitalization of its system. Digital currency for digital World systems.
Of course bitcoin have a bright future. In this moment bitcoin is becoming more popular than before. Many countries are now legalizing the bitcoin and became their daily payment.
I agree. Bitcoin really does have a future since more and more people have been interested with it nowadays and if this continues, I think bitcoin will attract more investors resulting for it to become more popular and a whole bunch of people will also start to be interested working with bitcoin.
A reliable data that says more people have been interested  in bitcoin is needed.
AFAIK if you calculate / sum up the total number of real bitcoin user existed around the world is very small.
So i think there's nothing can guarantee bitcoin will dead or even have a bright future later.
763  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you feel when win in gambling? on: July 19, 2017, 03:49:09 PM
I am not very lucky that I win each and every time I gamble but whenever I win first of all its really hard to believe that I actually won as I am very used to loosing so if I win than its bit surprising for me but it definitely gives me a great feeling that finally I manged to win something.

Trust me, I know that feeling. During gambling activities, Winning is the best feeling gamers/gamblers feel. It comes with this fresh as a daisy kinda feeling and kills all the previous disappointment we felt when we lost.  Back in the day when I was gambling a lot then, Winning is the only thing that makes me leap for joy Wink
Especially when you win an unexpected bet right?
That's how gambling works to hook a lot of people , as mathematically people won't keep winning.
There's a time you will lost more than what you have earned. It is a common thing i guess.

765  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can gambling be profitable in long term ? on: July 19, 2017, 02:40:55 PM
I think so. If you gamble using some good and reliable websites and do it wisely, you will get some really good money from it, I guess.

I never find any positive comment on whether gambling is profitable in long term.Only profitable in long term investments into trading here prediction will come to true at one point in trading but in gambling, it is not all possible.
No wonder , gambling basically invented not for profit that's why it won't profitable no matter what.
That is the fact , still a lot of people don't care about it with a reason for having fun.
But when you do the math , the whole money you have spent in the past for the sake of having fun in gambling is a huge loss.
766  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction. on: July 19, 2017, 02:07:13 PM
Why is someone get addicted to gambling once he gamble ?

Well I guess the thrill, excitement, fun and etc. that they get whenever they play, Keeps them from doing it again and again. Also, to add the fact that they adapt to the idea that you could easily earn money in gambling.

Add to it the chance of winning is one of the very reason why gambling is addicting. There are people who mostly make themselves surreal in gambling and make it as their part of living. I wouldn't say that it is easy to earn in gambling but it is only by chance.
I would not make gambling as a part of my living anymore because I do not want to be fully attached with it, now that I learn how to control after a sad experience in the past I would not go back to the past where I was addicted and don't know what are the possible risk in gambling.
I almost ruined my life because of addiction but family was there to help me, and now I am happy gambling knowing my priorities and I know gambling is not my priority but just a way to have fun.
You say that now , but when you run it by yourself as time goes by you won't realize you have done something crazy.
Something that you can never think about it before , but only regret in the end.
That's the  nature of gambling , completely addictive noone can avoid that.
767  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What's the best method I can take to borrow 0.5 BTC? on: July 18, 2017, 10:19:40 PM
Its impossible for now to get loan and i think 0.5 is really high amount of bitcoin if you have a good collateral you can borrow but if you are just a newbie its impossible right now to find someone who can give you loan..
The site you mention honestly never heard them and its impossible to get a loan online right now because almost borrowers are scammers..
Like https://btcjam.com and http://bitbond.com
BTCjam is closing and also isn't open for Americans anymore, I have good collataeral as in physical items just no ALT coins.
Physical collateral might work if you meet directly with the borrower.
But when you want to get a loan online with bitcoin easily then of course you need something concrete such as altcoin.
Goodluck for you , there's no otherway unless you have a valid collateral as i mentioned above.
768  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does experience matter in gambling? on: July 18, 2017, 10:09:49 PM
If you don't have experience you will be betting blinded . and it is very bad to do so

Betting blindly or more common in the name of guessing is really common in gambling. When you are playing a game like dice, the outcome of the game is unknown, no one knows what will be the result so you will base your bet by your guts, your experience, your luck, or your knowledge.
Lol i think any kind games is uncertain / unknown for the outcome when you gamble.
That's why it is called as gambling , but for some people experience sometimes helpful to read the situation and handle something bad in gambling.
As example you might won't chase the losses after losses when you are experienced.
769  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Has anyone ever tried medicine to control impulsive gambling? on: July 18, 2017, 04:45:39 PM
usually the medicine to control the people who became an addicted only available on rehabilitation center and i don't know if these medicine exist or not but if they're really exist i think only for those who became heavy addicted already trying that but fortunately i wasn't ever try it before
This is my first time to hear or read that there is now an available medicine to control impulsive gambling. But if ever this is a legit info it's great for people who can't control the urge to gamble. But thinking how they will drink it if they really wanna gamble and don't want to avoid it? But even though people must have a clear mind to think not to be addicted in gambling.
Imho there's no kind of medicine for this addictive hobby.
Just doesnt makes sense for me if then it is exist , everyone will try to consume it.
But continue to back to gamble as they know there's a medicine could help you out so they won't worry anymore and so on , the circle is so real.
770  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Giving up gambling is not easy on: July 18, 2017, 04:28:55 PM
If you really want to stop and stay away from gambling you can do it no one and nothing can break your decision once you have made it . But if ever happens that you realized that you can't stop yourself you really need a counseling . Yeah it is hard when you are really addicted to it and if gambling is already your hobby it's like being addicted to smoking if you want to stop you need to follow the withdrawal procedure .
Well gambling is not easy for someone who has been addicted to it for a long span of time. Someone who has put his life onto it, exerted so much time, effort and especially someone who invested money. But if you really want it you will surely find a way for it, but if you don't wanna do it well for sure you'll have many excuses. Change starts within oneself.
I think it has been their habit of gambling and when a habit is formed, it's hard to stop even though you were successful in doing it for a few months, it could lead to dependence again or something. If you think about it, it is really hard that you could stop something that is a part of your life already it requires hard work and mental fortitude to stop it.
Hobby is something that what people loved right?
Now the problem is how to make you did not love it anymore? There's a lot of way actually.
you could always find a reason why, such as there is an accident causing you trauma to gamble etc.
771  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you feel shameful for being a gambler? on: July 18, 2017, 04:20:52 PM
Gambling is illegal in my country and not many in my country knows that you can easily gamble with bitcoins so if I get caught while gambling or if police catches me gambling and if people around me comes to know that I am into gambling then it will be shame on my part as it will spoil my image in society and if not then everything is fine.

That is why btc gaming is the best. There is very difficult to get hold of you gambling unless the police come and confiscate your laptop or pc. In real world gambling, you can even be spotted by friends or relatives and they can stabbed you at the back without you knowing.

You are right about that, there are people who sees gamblers as sinners, bad influence and would often think that gamblers are the reason why the economy of a specific country is down. It is not the gamblers fault why the economy is like that, in fact, people who thinks like that are the problem of a society. There are people who would talk about rumors from time to time and talking about productivity at work, their attitude will never be helpful.

Gamblers should not be ashamed or feel ashamed, who should be ashamed are the people who talks about others without looking themselves in the mirror first. After all, not all gamblers are addicted.

It is just the matter of how we have a different culture to treat gambling itself.
Some places have a tight rules about that and people around really respect and obey on what they have created as the rules.
Shameful is a sure thing when you live in that kind place.
772  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to control greed on gambling? on: July 18, 2017, 04:02:23 PM
Always start with a small amount of capital.

If you used to gamble with bigger amount of capital when you gamble, greed will start to come out if you are holding bigger amount.

But if you'll maintain to hold smaller value of capital, you're good.
I can assure you it really doesn't matter if you start with low or high bankroll. If you are greedy, even if you start with small bankroll and win you will continue to gamble and you will try to win more money.
In your opinion, how small that bankroll has to be and how small your win has to be?
Some people have a mindset that if you have a large bankroll, it would lead to a larger profit. It would but the risk that you are taking is harder and more harder to accept if you failed, it's just that you are trying to make something out of nothing and you just have to do it or you shouldn't have deposited it in the first place. You will never be satisfied if you kept thinking like that, you should set goals and when you hit that goal or near to that goal, stop. It's better to walk away with something rather than nothing and be full of regret.
You're right about that and I think preventions is better than addiction, so having no satisfaction over the activities on gambling that yoh're involved with particularly the reason why you can't control greed on gambling. If you wanted to have control on greed, you should think for a change of aspects in life.
For example a good attitude to discipline in your whole life?
It will really helpful when you are on the table to play several games underpressure and greedy feeling.
You might will stick on the rules to have a limit and ignore the desire to want more.
773  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you login to a gambling site with Twitter, Google or Facebook Id? on: July 17, 2017, 11:24:34 PM
Doesn't make sense to make it mandatory to login using facebook or twitter in a gambling site. That sounds fishy to me. But if I badly want to try out a gambling site I might consider making up a fake twitter , google or even a facebook ID. Will never you my real one!
Really better to create an account with username and an email only to gamble.
Rather than have to feel complicated we should create a social media first to login later to the site.
There's no reasonable benefit we can get on doing thi righ? Just tell me if anyone have an idea why we should do it.
774  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Trading vs Gambling on: July 17, 2017, 11:13:56 PM
I chose "Trade Only" since I prefer trading rather than Gambling. Actually, I don't gamble anymore these past few months and no plans of gambling again. In regards to trading, I don't trade too often, but I still find it better since the chance of earning and losing is, I think depends on my decision. I do trade if I think that I will earn, so luck is not much needed unlike in gambling. Well, it's just my opinion.
Actually, it’s better to trade than to play it in gambling. In addition to that, in trading you can a sure that you money or bitcoin will come back while in gambling there is no possibility that you can will come back. Gambling is too risky and gambling doesn’t make you rich and it will make sorrow if you lose a lot of bitcoin or money.
Yeaaa trading won't make your whole money burned.
Unless you are trading shitcoin that almost guaranteed to run scam which you can never predict it.
Trading are better as long as you do it properly without greedy feeling like gambling.

Yes of course trading has a bigger advantage rather than gambling and even you hold it for a long time,  but still you will benefit the whole idea of saving your coin. I had no good chances of gambling as it is very prone on losing your bets, well there's no certain assurance of winning the prize of game and all you hope for is a lucky winning that you will gain instantly.
The things make trading more reasonable and better than gambling is about how the probability works.
In gambling almost nothing you can do to change the outcome.
But in trading you could have a chance to make an accurate prediction , as the market itslef run by people like us not like how the casino works with its fixed house edge .
775  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What keeps you coming back??? on: July 16, 2017, 10:43:53 PM
I have been gambling for 3 years and every time i decide to quit it there is something what bring me back. Not only me but with a lot of people is the same.
Is it addiction or just those casinos have something that pushes us to keep gambling?
It is not about money because even if i have enough money i keep gambling for no reason.
 
You're addicted! if gambling is affecting your life in a negative way then you must seek a professional's help(gambling therapy). addiction is pretty nasty thing, get yourself out before it's too late.
It is never easy to leave gambling right? Everyone know bout that .
Just treat gambling better , i mean don't set any target in gambling just like when you are usually doing it in other profitable business.
It is just an exclusive hobby that mostly cost a lot of money , so just try to gamble such as twice a month or so.
776  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your reason to gamble? Fun or profit? on: July 16, 2017, 10:30:13 PM
I gamble for fun. I don't really think that you should go gambling for profit because it will make you greedy. It can also ruin your life. It's better if you'll just enjoy it and have fun.

Really it is better, but we came in gambling not only for fun wise, a lot of things are here around us to get fun and entertainment. But most attractive thing in gambling and that is Money. But it is good that you are playing gambling because of fun and i believe one day will come when gambling will change your thinking and than you play gambling because of profit and fun.
Personally, Now i don't consider gambling like a source of getting profit. I just do it for fun, because it's too risky. Few weeks ago, i lost a huge amount because of greed in dice games. So i decide do not quite gambling, but just playing it for the fun no more, because i really enjoy when i do it.
Anyways, I blame myself when i lost the money, because i can't control myself in this time, but now, i learned too much about that.
Tell me in the next few weeks if you are no longer keep losing your money for the sake of fun.
I believe once you have involved in gambling world the chance to not get addicted is 1% only!
You will always remember the moment when you lost it , and there is a feeling to recover it as you never accept that lost, gambling is pure addictive.
777  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: BTC getting too expensive to gamble with on: July 16, 2017, 10:22:01 PM
I convert my btc to dogecoin whenever I feel that deposit fee is way to much.

Regarding bitcoin being too expensive to play with, I agree that gambling with 1whole bitcoin is expensive. But you can always look at playing with lower denominations. You can even bet 1satoShi on most(if not all) of the dice sites.

Where will you do gambling? Because if you play in Bitsler website there you can deposit bitcoins and you can convert your coins for other altcoins like Dogecoin or Eth or Litecoin or Burst coin. They allowed you to play with any of these coins. So for you, time saving and you will get good games to play on this site.
But how about the rates? Usually in-game exchange has lower rates .
That's why people prefer to convert it on a real exchange instead in the game itself.
People actually too early to decide leave bitcoin for altcoin , bitcoin still have a lot of promising thing , more stronger and a lot of benefit there , just the matter fee i don't think it is necessary to switch.
778  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ICO is the best way to invest? on: July 14, 2017, 03:31:33 PM
No, it is not the best way to invest.  If you believe just because a coin puts out an ICO it somehow legitimises the project then you are wrong.  It is so easy now for someone to start an ICO using ETH with fancy graphics and nice sounding roadmaps without actually having to have anything in the pipeline.

There will be good ICOs that can work out but if you look at many of the ICOs over time the majority of them fall below ICO value after getting listed on an exchange as people want to cash out with some profit.

The best way to invest is to evaluate the project and not take into account the fact it is an ICO, there are many projects out there that have not felt the need to raise x amount of money prior to doing anything, a prime example of this is bitcoin itself.


At first time the ICO really promising with its reliable project .
But nowadays yeaaa some groups take it as an advantage to raising the fund with a not clear project or even fake projects.
So you need just to be smart to identify which one is a reliable and makes sense project or it is just for the sake of exit scam.
779  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Are You Disappointed In Trading? on: July 14, 2017, 07:03:07 AM
I almost got disappointed with trading when I lost almost 40 percent of total capital of one of my account with poloniex. Although I end up leaning a lot of lessons from the lost and it happened that way to me because, I was relying on my experience of technical analysis with forex which happen to be a different thing entirely from altcoin or crypto currency trading.
to me i personally never disappointed in trading although for most of the time i face a lot of lost but never disappoint. whenever i fell disappointed in trading i tried to change my planing and trading strategies. and after that i really become succeeded and made good profit. therefore i think there is no use to disappoint in trading but to continue our struggle with a new planning.

I'm disappointed because I first thought I can make my bitcoin like x5 in a month in altcoin trading. And I faced the negative face of the markets. I lost too much and the market is still reddish.
You are expecting too much just from trading and it was wrong i guess.
500% profit is not something that you can get it easily even a professional and experienced could set a profit target around 5% to 15% only.
Your disappointment is sounds like ridiculous for me .

Lol I agree with you that its wrong to have higher expectations from trading and people feel that its very easy to make profits in trading but that is not the case and to earn huge profits you should also invest huge capital and if you invest higher amount then even the risk would be higher.
I mean you should have a reasonable expectation in trading , just it.
As when you want 5x profit or 10x profit then you are in wrong place , you should look for it elsewhere.
Trading will be a reliable source of income when you have a good understanding  enough.
780  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Excuses on: July 14, 2017, 06:48:14 AM
Did you ever gamble with other's money to pay your own debts or otherwise to solve a certain problem through gambling?


No way but I have heard many stories that many addicted gamblers do that when they are so desperate for money. This is a bad logic. How could a new problem solve another problem? It means it is really just an addiction and they will find a way to gamble again.

Money desperate need cannot be a reasons to make as an excuse of being desperately need for money. In my own opinion about it was just a denial to a certain level of diversion so that it won't affect their reputation that they are addicted to it. How hipocrite are those gamblers and as I can see they are not honest to themselves of what they actually are. So to make it as no excuses, they should work for money so they earn for and don't expect lucky winnings from gambling because they all prone to lose it all in the future.
No i think some people really prefer to choose to gamble when they need money urgently.
As they have achieve it previously that you can make money in a couple of seconds only!
But when you lost , mostly you feel cannot believe it is happened as you expect to keep winning it which it is wrong.
