Well gambling does make everyone cry, after all its their hard earned money and no one wants to lose. Most of the players do lose while some still win. However the number of winning people is lower and thats where the owners make a profit. If you seem to "cry" too much, better stop gambling Smiley
to be honest it has never made be cry so you should talk for yourself, i think you should not gamble then
Well, if you have not cried due to gambling that would simply mean you were able to gamble it responsibly, only those people who are irresponsible in gambling do cry because instead of putting their money that they can afford to lose only, they put everything and that is the worst decision they made.

Gambling is not wrong as long you know how to control
the game, as long you know how to control your emotions.
If you played with goals in life there's nothing wrong with it.
But if you played and you have a big loses, i guess thats
the time to stop playing the game.! It is okay if you
always gain profit.'

Gambling is wrong if you are betting in it and lose money...There's nothing wrong with it if you would just watch or dream of big money, but as long as you start to chase it in gambling, that's what makes it wrong.. Gambling is not a game for those who care much about their money whether you are rich or poor...  Smiley
That's what everyone will tell after losing in gambling, and for me I would say it is their mistake and not the fault why gambling is created. If they will not gamble then they are safe but due to greediness they do gamble and wants to make money at the same time therefore they experience the negative consequence of gambling.
1063  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To Gamble or To Invest? on: September 28, 2016, 03:04:10 AM
What I would do is just diversify my funds into different investments that have different risk levels associated with them. By doing this, I would hopefully be able to eliminate the possibility of losing everything all at once, while there's a great chance at earning passive income regularly from these investments. Investments themselves are gambles so I just make it a point to minimize being on the losing end of it.
That's advisable if you have a good amount of funds to invest, you should not only invest in one project otherwise you will be affected much if that will not succeed, there is no assurance that all our investment will succeed and will give us profit but as long as the overall result is profitable then we should be thankful on that.
1064  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can gambling be profitable in long term ? on: September 28, 2016, 02:59:34 AM
No gambling cannot be profitable on a long run, maybe some people have this luck that it will be profitable but I think 99% get in problems due it.
Gambling is not something that can provide you a monthly income in my eyes too.
Maybe for the majority of us gambling is never profitable in the long run because it is a hard venture if we are looking for money here and we do gambling, only those gifted individual maybe can make money but us there is no chance, we can always evaluate ourselves if we are capable or now.
1065  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do I grow my btc? on: September 28, 2016, 02:56:07 AM
If you're just looking to earn an extra buck on your coins at virtually no risk, lending it on Poloniex is always a good option.
Lending is not earning because you will still have to pay the principal amount of your loan together with the interest, maybe if you are a scammer who will the pay the lender then that is an earning but that is not good for the lender and the entire community, we do not promote scammers here, we hate them.
1066  Economy / Economics / Re: Why have Bitcoin instead of cash? on: September 28, 2016, 02:49:35 AM
I recently paid for some local tacos using Bitcoin. My friend who was unfamilar with Bitcoin thought it was strange, like I technically didn't pay for them or something. We got into discussing Bitcoin and one of the questions he asked me was:
"Why would you want Bitcoins instead of cash?". For a second I didn't know what to say; then I thought about it and here is what I came up with. Feel free to contribute to this.

1) More security (especially if you are careful).

2) Bitcoins are a potential investment, cash is not. Paper currency only really goes down in value, Bitcoins have a lot of potential to be worth more as time goes on.

3) Fast, worldwide transactions at your fingertips.

4) Similar to #3, but it's a universal currency. It's legal in most countries of the world and you don't need any kind of currency conversion to send money to people in a different country than your own.
Bitcoin is not really vulnarable for me money does , And we can earn bitcoin from mining money don't , Bitcoin can't steal from your hands , Money does , Money will know where it came from , Bitcoin don't as for now i will truely choose bitcoin instead of cash because of some reason that i am comparing we should keep on tracking what is the benefits of bitcoin and the cash it is always important to us and for those traders out there who uses bitcoin as currency.
We have our own opinion as we have experience different kind of experience in using both, but as an investor or a person who value our asset so much so it we should stick to what gives us benefits and based on your experience you are satisfied with bitcoin so you should be receiving more benefits in the future with continued support.

Cash does not provide investment bitcoin does.
1067  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: September 28, 2016, 02:35:12 AM
Actually both but you need to invest in order to get profit,otherwise you can't make BTC,also you have to have in order to invest so what's why you have to do both.
you are right, most probably you would need to do both in order to make some decent money over time

You indeed need to do this otherwise you never will come far and you can than already give up now with it..
The bitcoin future is good I would save up money and wait on a longer price and than invest it.
We should do both but we give more emphasis on investing because that is the only way we can have a comfortable life in the future, with investing in bitcoin there is a big assurance that you will get the return of your investment in a faster way and you will just be earning passive income in the future.
1068  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to play gambling in a smart way? on: September 28, 2016, 02:29:42 AM
There is no real smart way to gamble and I think that gambling never can be done smart because its something that is based on luck.
Without luck you will win almost nothing...
If there is no smart way in gambling then I guess we will not enjoy gambling anytime, winning is not only the purpose in gambling but the entertainment, now, if you will be entertain in gambling so I think there is no smarter than that.
1069  Other / Off-topic / Re: Will you quit your day job to go full time on bitcoin? on: September 27, 2016, 04:20:36 AM
Think wisely if you are quitting your job because if you do quit you need to face all the troubles and challenges alone the way, there is no assurance you will make consistent money working online unlike in real job where we can expect a pay on a regular basis and we also have the required government health and insurances.
1070  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: September 27, 2016, 03:43:04 AM
Gambling is not wrong, but some people are doing it on the wrong way and due to that it will be fucked up, the fact is that if you are getting addicted its your own mistake because you are doing this.
Overall I think that gambling is not bad but that people do it wrong and make it look bad and wrong to do.

I think gambling won't be wrong if you won't entertain it and regret it later... You will really end up fucked up if you entertain gambling and give in to it... But if you always stay away from it and just watch those gamblers waste their money for sure gambling won't be wrong for you... Gambling's nature is wrong if it is done by those people with less money to buy their food and yet still have the guts to gamble...  Smiley
In general gambling is define as an entertainment so there is no way it is wrong, only those gamblers are wrong because instead of having fun and enjoy gambling for long they go the other way and they are greedy of the money instead of the fun.

During our first try, we might say that we are just playing for fun but due to being human we have our needs and we think gambling is the key to make easy money which is wrong. Our actions are wrong not gambling.
1071  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you were rich, would you still gamble? on: September 27, 2016, 03:37:34 AM
If I would be rich I would gambling because of the fact that gambling is very nice to do and its very enjoying.
Due to that I think that gambling should also be done by rich people because of the enjoyment.

Gambling could really amuse everyone, including the rich ones... But it doesn't mean that they are immune to losing when they are rich, so if you have millions of dollars, I don't think that it is still good to gamble... If I were rich and have millions, I think I won't gamble, that would just be a waste of money, I would rather buy things and donate it to those that need it than donating it in gambling site...  Wink Smiley
Rich people do gamble but I do not think they will gamble regularly, when you are a rich person you are busy of doing many things including managing your business and gambling is just your way to have fun, so I guess if they will lose they can afford the amount of loses.
1072  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Best Investments on: September 27, 2016, 03:28:34 AM
All investments takes a lot of risks.Its how you manage
your money and its how you grow your btc.
I think best investment of your btc is in trading.
In trading you may grow your btc but on one note
"Buy at a lower price and sell it at a higher price",
for sure you can earn profit in trading.

Sure that every investments have its risks. But it is how you can manage it that will minimize the risk. Picking the most qualified investment that suits your liking. You dont want to be doing something that you dont like or you will get bored with it in time
Maybe something that can connect to your career.
Always choose an investment that is in life with your passion because in that way you can grow your money easily as despite you the trials you will not easily give up, that is the most important thing to remember when you are investing, this is not a gambling that does not require any skills and knowledge.
1073  Economy / Economics / Re: Should I believe in Bitcoin ? on: September 27, 2016, 03:25:16 AM
Everybody on this forum or almost everyone will answer yes on that question else we wouldn't really be here but bitcoin is showing promosing data. Ofcourse it has slowed down since the "hype" but it's still going strong and being more developed every week.

I don't think that someone here in forum is not believing in bitcoin unless he is just new to bitcoin. I am going to keep on believing in bitcoin even we are experiencing some downfall and decrease in price. Because as long as we are going to keep on believing it bitcoin is going to keep on rising in the end because of the people who believes it.
The fact the we are here we are all believers, whether we are bitcoin lovers or haters we will still in bitcoin, the good thing is that majority of the members here in the community are true believers and we are keeping our hard work to promote bitcoin so we can all be profitable in the future.
1074  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it a good long term investment to buy 1 BTC today? on: September 27, 2016, 03:19:28 AM
The only people who had regret to had bought bitcoin were the people that joined the bubble on the begining, besides that i may say no one lost money since then, if they lost isnt because they gambled or invested those bitcoins, because the price keep raising all years a bit.
This time bitcoin is more stronger and the price is not a bubble anymore, this is just the right price because we have seen how the market had improved due to continues adoption, I know this will continue and as a result the price will continue to rise, so I guess 1 BTC is not enough for long term investment.
1075  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is it Sports Betting is better than other type of gambling? on: September 27, 2016, 03:15:33 AM
Actually it is not. I used to think it is, but its better for smaller odds. Once you make bets on games at 2 multiplier, the odds are actually much less than 50%, they are more like 30% giving the sportbooks a big house edge. This is also the reason that some of the biggest gambling companies in the world are sportbookies and not other gambling establishments .
thats true, it has a massive house edge and i think it makes it really hard to make some decent profit

It is a matter of business so if we are thinking that sports betting that it is better than other types of gambling. We can't blame the people that thinking that way. Because somehow, I am also thinking that sports betting is better than dice because there is the thrill and you know the bets that you are going to put your bitcoins on it.
That's individual preference of what game to choose, besides our aim in gambling should be to have fun, I know sports betting are fun as I for one is an sports better and handicapper as well, but sometimes I also play different kind of game like dice and roulette.
1076  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: September 27, 2016, 03:12:04 AM
If you have much money but you aren't use it, it's better to invest it than save the money. So you can earn passive income from your idle money. It's really good imo.
That's the right thing to do, you money is subject to inflation and if you will just keep it you will not earn from it so because invest in your type of investment because you can always choose between a low risk and high risk investment.
1077  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to stay away from gambling? suggestions ? on: September 27, 2016, 03:04:53 AM
i think simply you need to make your mind internet in some other topic if earning money in legit way instead of earning in ponzi scheme like gambling and other betting like things . so in this way your mind will remain away from gambling .
yeah , you are right . i also using the same stretgy to keep himself from gambling . but still i will suggest him never see those offers by gambling site for any type of deposit bonus because sometimes we comes in greediness of money .
because of the reason people to gamble are to make money mostly , yes they must change the way they think to earn profit through gambling and move it to something more realistic way like blogging maybe.

this might help people to stay away from gambling and enjoying someting else.
Blogging is only for people who have skills and enough knowledge, while maybe the reason people resort to gambling because it is easy to understand and operate and even in a matter of seconds we can win and lose our money, the worst thing is when you misunderstood gambling and you think this is for making money rather than entertainment.
1078  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be considered as a Sickness!! on: September 27, 2016, 02:57:09 AM
Gambling when becomes addiction to anyone it remains only thing to do for that person. What is sickness anything which controls your body and mind and doesn't let you think about anything else is sickness. Gambling is no different and leads addicted people to behave and do same. They loose will powers and mind stops thinking new things it is like a state of sickness.
well yeah and if you get addicted to gambling i think it is better to just seek doctors help in order to avoid it

You don't need doctors if you are addicted into gambling, what you need is that you need psychiatrist and other psychology experts to help you from being an addicted person into gambling. And for me the best physician for this type of sickness is God, you need to ask Him to help you to be healed out of that gambling sickness.
Exactly, and mostly an addicted person do not want to be treated because they never admitted to themselves that they are addicted, they just keep on thinking that they can manage the situation and they are big enough to that they know what they are doing, only the family can help I guess.
1079  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is it Sports Betting is better than other type of gambling? on: September 25, 2016, 02:28:13 AM
This is because it is safer to risk your money if you know how your predicted team will win than based on random luck alone.

you can never know which team is going to actually win, if it was possible then everyone would be rich

correct, if it can be done then everyone will benefit greatly and I think gambling is fast disappearing because owners of gambling or House do not benefit from such bets. This is something that is very improbable happens, because gambling is something business and all businesses will definitely be looking for profit

Gambling is always a zero sum games, someone's win is always a someone's loss, so there's no way for everyone to benefit from it. Gambling operators always have an edge, to ensure their profit in the long run, they will never abandon in, because it's business.
It's a different scenario in sports betting because there is no house edge, maybe some people are right that sports are rigged in favor of the bookies, but there is really no house edge as a certain gambler has a choice to choose a much bigger or lower odds.
1080  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much can you earn with gambling? on: September 25, 2016, 02:23:30 AM
You can earn a lot with gambling and I think that the earnings from gambling can go as high as the moon but this rule is also applying for losings.
Its for both rules and I think that gambling is also like this.
thats true, but you have to be very lucky right now, i think it is better not to gamble your money not to lose it

Luck is indeed the beginning of us benefit, without luck all gambling we do will definitely get a loss. Because all of that is a very good thing, but it's all not going we can get (the luck) if indeed we do not have a strategy or technique that is good for us to do, then there will be no luck we get

Luck is something you have absolutely zero control over, and even something that you can't see, many players get blinded by win streaks and keep gambling until they get broke. Gamblers should always be cold blooded and think rational if they want to at least minimize their loses.
You are definitely true, we should have the calmness in gambling so we could think right and makes a good decision in the session. We might lose but only up to the manageable amount of money and it should go as well with our winning, do not get greedy when you win.
Not all gamblers have that skills to stay calm in the game because most of us are so emotional, the thing is we have made a plan before we gamble to make money but it suddenly changes when we are experiencing a mix emotions during the game, really hard to control base on my experience.
