Gambling isn't wrong when you are getting money into it but if you are loosing too much money because of gambling then it's already considered wrong already if you can't control your self being addicted into gambling of loosing money and more money into that then stopped it's getting too wrong already.

Totally agree on this. Gambling is good if you can control yourself playing with it and making money out of it then it is good as well.. but if you abuse yourself and lose everything because of gambling then that will be wrong.
1122  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do Girls also gamble? on: October 29, 2016, 04:09:12 PM
I think yes, because there is no rule that says that gambling is only made for men. Only children who are not allowed to gamble.
Well most of the things that men can do are not anymore harder for women. They can do what we can do now and in gambling that is a check that girls do gamble more. And base on my experience, they are more risk taker than us because my auntie who is a true gambler is just feeling nothing when she loses $50,000 in casino's.

Indeed gambling do not chose any gender as long as they are legal enough and know how to play those games in the casinos. Like in my country most number of patrons are women because they find gambling more fun and amusing.
1123  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: October 29, 2016, 04:04:33 PM
It's because of the big profit you get when you win.  And when you lose you want to make that money back by betting more than the amount you lost to recover it.  It's a vicious cycle unfortunately.
That's what we get when we are too greedy in gambling, if we cannot accept our loses most likely we can make a bad decision like chasing bets and when we do that, it gives us a big problem as we are already playing with rage and we cannot think clearly to carry our mission in gambling.

Yeah this is the problem for most gamblers they get too greedy also if they win and when they lose they try to recover the amount of money they'd lost. So they keep coming back even if nothing is left for them that's when it become an addiction.
1124  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is it Sports Betting is better than other type of gambling? on: October 29, 2016, 04:00:34 PM
I want to know why people always pushing sports betting as a type of gambling that can give the punters the best chance to win? I need your opinion on the subject and hope you guys can share your informative comments here.
I think there are some reasons why people said sports betting is better than other types of gambling:
- enjoy to analyze ability of the teams/person in match
- easier to learning how to be pro from beginner
- it's so fun, interesting and exciting to watch the match and thrill of waiting the result
- you can make bets that have a mathematical advantage, you need more accurate assessment of the probability
- and not just depends pure on your luck, but your intelligence what matter.

This is a good read mate. Especially for those people who want to enter into the world of sports betting. If you are really into sports then sports betting is right for you.. it can make you somehow invest and make profit from it.
1125  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling problem on: October 29, 2016, 03:55:11 PM
It is not a problem, but is created as a problem by ourselves for our own.
When you don't calculate, you lose more than what you gain. Always use your brain before betting anything upon a loss, you might not lose more.
Absolutely, but most gamblers will listen to their heart more often because gambling will give you an emotions that you will lose your self sometimes. And that is the main reason why we lost and having a problem without our ability to control our self and know when to stop.

Yeah,


That is why before we sit and start playing gambling we should disciplined ourselves to make sure that you will not lose control of your self and exceed the limit of the amount you set for the price of bitcoins that you put at stake.

I believed  those emotions is connected to the thrill, excitement and challenge that we feel when playing gambling.
It's fine to make mistake for sometime but doing the same mistakes all the time is a big foolishness. Fool people has no room for gambling as this game is very risky and we should be smart enough to last in the game and to enjoy at the same time.

That's true mate. If we keep doing the same mistakes then it's really a big problem. In gambling, there are a lot of people who never really learn in spite of their loses they still want to gamble instead of investing their money somewhere else. I know that it's fun when we gamble but if we are losing a lot then it's not good for us anymore.
1126  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: October 29, 2016, 03:44:41 PM
Today NBA Season is very difficult to predict. Only Cleveland Cavalier for me is the team easy to predict.
Like they will be the championship this 2016-17 NBA Season Cheesy
Does your prediction includes the idea of injuries? Because the Cavaliers has a lot of injury prone players, and one injured player could mean a difference whether you win or lose in a game, just like what happened to them during the Finals of 14-15 when both Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving were out due to injury Lebron has to carry all the team on his back. Well a team's success really depends on the players and teamwork.


well I semi agree lol. I think the only thing you can predict is the Cavs will beat
the East and make it in the Finals. I'm still not willing to give up on the warriors
just yet.
Well, if you will ask me, I would put more money on the cavaliers to win in the east.. They have improve this year and they have a good record at the start of the season, (2-0) is a good start for king James and I believe it's free money as the journey is very easy for them.

Quite true. Seems like Cavaliers will dominate again in the NBA.. but don't disregard the west teams. Like Kawhi Leonard the rest of the Spurs.. dominated the game against GSW and Leonard really stands out seems training with Legendary Kobe Bryant pays it off.
1127  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to quit Gambling for good? on: October 29, 2016, 03:36:51 PM
We could really quit gambling   for good  as  long  we are willing to our selves   to quit from it  because  no matter  how  hard  you would  try as  long  you are  not willing from it  you would definitely fail and    you will still play gambling and  wrecked   even  more . Better   to stay away from  it.

Yes it's a matter of your own will.. of course you can't stop gambling in one click you have to it little by little and try to engage in some different activities with your love ones. I think this way you can stop gambling for good.
1128  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Giving up gambling is not easy on: October 29, 2016, 03:23:05 PM
Giving  up  gambling   is  not  really easy especially when you are  already addicted  into it  and   you are  lossing soo  much big money  on it because  you will  always chase your  lose which will pursue  you to play even more  hoping those  lost  money would  be gained back which is  really impossible   to happen. You would  lose even more.

True.. I have a relative who have the same problem in gambling chasing all his loses till he already nothing left of him and ruined his life. I guess it's really hard to stop gambling it really depends on the attitude of the people towards gambling.. how he/she handles the situation.
1129  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Controlling your temper in gambling on: October 29, 2016, 03:17:53 PM
keep calm and listen pleasant music
If i lose money in gambling, my temper will increase high. So at that time to control my temper, i prefer calmness. I will stay away from people and other digital eqipments. Sometimes music also irritates us. Actually, I like music, but when I am in temper mood, i don't like anything. I like to stay alone in the calm place. It may in my home or garden or beach.
the same for me, then i want to win the money back, it is the main reason i dont play a lot of it to be honest
That is a good way to control your temper especially when you are on losing streak what you need to do is be calm and try to listen to some relaxing musics. I guess instrumental music are the ones that is going to make you relax and when you feel that you are now calm and relaxed then that is the right time to go gambling again.
Your game plan must be initiated at all cost, you can control your temper if you are playing with discipline as that is normal to feel mix emotion in gambling as it is a game of chances and we lose and win during our gambling session. If we will not be able to control our temper there's a big chance our entire bankroll will be wipe out in one bet.

Yes discipline is one of the key to control your emotion and temper when you gamble. Know your limits and boundaries especially if you're on a losing streak. Accept losing today and try your luck in another day.
1130  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to gamble the right way on: October 29, 2016, 03:14:25 PM
It's easy to gamble the right way. Don't go all in on your bets if you are not ready to lose it all, have a self control and don't easily get rage when you lose your bet, because i already experienced it and it make me busted.
Well that is really not going to be an effective way if you are going to do YOLOing because if you are going to do that. It is just like you are going to risk all of your money with one just bet. But if you are really a risk taker then you are going to do this but for me the right way to gamble is just you are going to gamble with low amount.
All in is always dangerous thing don't do this. You will lose your all money in a single bet. But according to me the right way to gamble means playing with little amount is not a safe method. You should choose the right odds, yes if your odds is low then your winning chance is high. If your odds is high, your winning chance is low. So choose low odds and place high amount, try this you may make some profit in this method.

YOLO or all in is something we can do if we are a lazy gambler and actually if you are playing in a game that has a house  edge it will give you a good chance to win as when you are playing longer your chances to win slowly diminish but doing all in will give you win if you have a lucky roll.

Yeah this is not a right way to gamble unless you are lucky. Start on making some low bets would atleast be necessary to gamble so that you can control your money and not to lose it all in just one roll. Try to play in sports betting which can give you a higher chance of winning rather than playing in dice games and slot machines.
1131  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should I invest in bitcoin casinos? on: October 29, 2016, 03:06:08 PM
right now investing in btc would be better Tongue

But investing in casino is also good as you get paid in btc Smiley

Investing in btc is good for as long as you know how it works like in trading and casinos.. but remember there are always risks when you invest but better check for a reputable casino sites which can give you a good profit.
1132  Economy / Gambling / Re: New in Gambling, Need Help! on: October 29, 2016, 02:54:00 PM
There's quite a few for you to try: Bitvest, betking, primedice, bitsler, bit-exo, luckyb.it. It's always worth it doing a bit of searching when you try a new site to make sure they have a solid reputation though!

Yes there are good sites you can try on but ofcourse 0.5 btc is a big money for you to gamble. If I were you just use some of your btc and try some casinos but the rest try it for investment. Remember casinos/gambling are too risky it's not good for some newbie to invest in gambling.
1133  Economy / Economics / Re: Best way to manage money? on: October 29, 2016, 02:45:50 PM
You always need to be aware of how much money you need to put on the side because of bills and things that you will need to pay, you also need to save a percentage of what you are earning.
If you manage to do only this and you are managing your money good enough.

Exactly, you must set on the things that you are going to use your money for. And I would say that just buy the things that are necessary and you really need. Don't buy the things that you just want to have it because you want it but buy the things that you really need so that you are going to manage your money properly.
really not easy to stick on the rules , first of all you need to be discipline. without discipline anything that you have planned before will just useless. once you have this discipline then you are good to go to managing money by yourself. another option you may could use a third party to manage your money such as your wife maybe? a women have a better instinct about managing money.

I may disagree with woman who are good in managing money.  Not all.  Sometimes they are the reason why you could not save your money because of their wants. Grin.  Anyways, yes it took a lot of discipline if you want to have a better management in your money.
not all , bot mostly. so nothing wrong with my words isn't it? also there is a lot of kind women you can't judge all of them is same of course. but all what i feel now that my wife doing very well in managing family funds. so why not to give a shot? if you didn't confiden't on yourself , there is no harm.

Well there's nothing wrong on managing money when it comes to gender. Because people are different.. it's just their way of thinking or perspective on how they will manage their money. Like me, I used self control when it comes to money and always have a long term goal so I can properly spend and manage my money wisely.
1134  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What is the minimum amount to start as a trader? on: October 29, 2016, 02:38:08 PM
If you are a newbie in trading i suggest you start from a small amount until you figure how things works in trading. Experiment that small amount in trading and when you feel that you are getting good at it then you start investing more Bitcoin or Money in trading. Goodluck

You should be given figure on how much that small amount would be. With my trading experience when I was still newbie, the amount I started in trading of alt coins is 0.003 bitcoins and I bought some dumped coins that didn't made my investment worth to return. But learned from it and I did again trade with that amount.

Yes that's for a good start to invest but ofcourse you still need to know/learn how to trade because you just can't invest in something which you don't know how to work and make a profit from it. Better learn it from someone you can trust and have experience which can help / train you how to invest like in trading.
1135  Economy / Economics / Re: Loans too risky? on: October 29, 2016, 02:31:50 PM
yes there is no doubt about this that loans are too risky if you are load to some for investment in bitcoin or to invest it in some other place and lost the money then what will you do. i think you will never recover your loan from him.

Of course before you are going to loan make sure that you have your source of income and you are just loaning because you need to add some capital for your investment. And don't loan because you don't have money or bitcoin because if that is your reason you are not going to be approved by the lender or any lending website.
I have not tried lending money here online because every time I need money I just approach a lending firm here in our place. I can see they are growing their business so that means lending is profitable in the actual world but not here online.

Of course lend always beneficial. Only need to save money for this. And to reduce the risks of loans need to give customers a proven and reliable

Easy to say dude but it is hard to apply that in real practice, I wish it is easy to lend here online and you can ensure that this people will not run and hide after they get the money, we are living in an anonymous world so the risk is really higher therefore not recommended to lend here.

It is easy to apply online here in forum if you have a very good collateral and you had been trusted by some of the trusted people here. But many lenders are still depending on your source of income, so that they have assurance that whenever you are going to borrow. They have assurance that you are going to pay your debt.

Yes there are a lot of forum/thread can offer lending services but we have to check it's credibility with other people. Because getting loans are always risky we always have to be careful where to look for a legit company who offer loans.
1136  Economy / Economics / Re: Big Crash coming on: October 29, 2016, 02:22:27 PM
Without a major issue i doubt this will happen on the short period, bitcoin is recovering from the bitfinex hacker problem, in the general bitcoin is getting back to those values, and in the end of the year looks like people does use bitcoin for gifts for Christmas, thats the second year bitcoin will end with same readjust.

I don't know why people are thinking that bitcoin will ever had to crash again as these bad incidents happened. No crash will happen again for this year as long as many people doesn't able to make some change and greediness out of bitcoin then bitcoin will not crash. And it is going to be more stable for a lot of years.

More than stable, it seems to be on an uptrend now.
Could this be the big bull rally that we are all waiting for? The signs for that happening are positive!
Again we are in $700 now at yobit's price, I like what is happening as seems we are going to have a merry christmas this year. I have predicted it already when it rise up to $700 a few months ago that we will be back again and we are witnessing it already now.

Yes it's still in the uptrend side and it's good news for us.. and if bitcoin will crash it will not be too very low. No need for us to panic and just enjoy the benefits of bitcoins that's giving us.
1137  Economy / Economics / Re: Should I believe in Bitcoin ? on: October 29, 2016, 02:11:44 PM
I  do really believe on bitcoin and  i  do have high  hopes for it that  it would  give me   big money  on the future but  i need to work  hard  in able to attain and achieve it  on the  long run. Lets  just wait for  the full adoption of  it and we keep using  bitcoin as  it grows every day  by day.

Yes I agree with you mate.. have the same plan with bitcoins by trading ang getting a good campaign which will give me a steady income in the future. So Yes I believe in bitcoins that it has a lot of option for us to invest and make a profit.
1138  Economy / Economics / Re: Best way for steady income on: October 29, 2016, 02:03:16 PM
I do investment when the bankroll is okay but sometimes i don't do deposit i want to grow my own money into gambling site's and the posible to double it when my lucks cooperate in my game. And also i considered trading as my steady income per week where i can get some of bitcoin when everytime i sold my coins i hold. And also Signature Campaign

Wow that sounds good for you mate! Getting a steady income in bitcoins is actually my target / plan for the next year. Right now, I can only get my steady income in my current job but I would like to have a steady income as well using my bitcoins.
1139  Economy / Economics / Re: The dream of getting rich with bitcoins on: October 29, 2016, 01:45:57 PM
The chance of you getting rich in bitcoin is far less than the chance of you getting rich in real life. There's a lot of opportunities in bitcoin. More and more opportunities are coming up every single day. There's ICO, altcoin trading, signature campaign. But all of them doesn't pay enough to make you rich except when you invest in ICO or in altcoin trading.

Although it doesn't happen that much, there will eventually a coin that doesn't cost that much right now and will skyrocket in the future. An example of this is bitcoin but the time to invest for bitcoin has passed. To become rich using bitcoins, I can only see it possible by investing in an altcoin. You can also build your own company and offer services online but that will require a lot of time, effort, and money.

Yes indeed.. there are a lot of ways / options for you to invest in bitcoins but still you need to put a lot of effort to become rich. Ofcourse when you invest there are ups and downs like in trading you need to predict the value of bitcoin and its very risky too.
1140  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin or Gold? What would you pick? on: October 29, 2016, 08:46:19 AM
I didn't see how much is gold price now but I have feeling that is better for the moment to invest in Bitcoin think that price rise is good and can be profitable

You can refer to this website to check out the latest price per ounce, kilo and gram of gold http://www.apmex.com/spotprices/gold-price
Even though the value of bitcoin is stable enough, still I will going to focus more with bitcoin as it is giving me good profit as I trade with my daily
alt coins.

Yes same as mine I will be focusing more on investing my bitcoins. And it's easier to invest in btc rather than gold because it's online you don't really need a physical cash to do any transactions.
