If it's your lucky day then you will make a profit from it as long as you are not greedy. There are many kinds of gambling and you can easily make a profit from it if you can control your emotion and you will set your target profit and be sure that when your target profit is hit, you will stop and you can also set an amount you can afford to lose so that when you are not so unlucky, you still have a chance to get back what you can afford to lose but do it the next day when your emotions are already calmer and you can already think straight.

I also know about sports betting that there is what they call arbitrage wherein you can bet in both teams and you can still profit from it regardless of the result. Though it is just a small profit but still its a profit.

In my opinion, those who take gambling purpose to be rich, you should stop gambling. And for those who take gambling just for fun, you are doing great. It depends on how you handle it. There are some people that are responsible for their actions like gamble for fun and gamble for they aware to lose.

Gambling has an uncertain outcome and the house always win so you should gamble only what you can afford to lose. Gambling to be rich is very risky because want you want is more and more money and if you are losing, you will attempt to gamble again to get back what you lose until a certain time that you are always losing because you can't think right anymore and you will find ways to bet again and have some funds to be able to join until such time that you sell some of your valuable properties just to gamble hoping to get back what you lose.Some are lucky because they were able to get back what they lose and be rich in gambling but they are few.Majority are losing in gambling because of the uncontrolled emotions. That is why gambling should just be for fun because if your mentality is that win or lose this is only the funds you will deposit, you will not be tempted to get back what you lose if that is the outcome because you are firm with your decision and purpose and regardless of the outcome you will be contented with it.

If your mentality is gamble to be rich then I think that would be the time to stop gambling because you may not lose your money only but may include your loved ones as well.

When Im on the way to reach my target and only a little satoshi again and I thinking to stop when my target is reached but last bet lose then I turn on my rage mode and in the end lose all my balance
Haha right that happens with me as well sometimes.For example i start with 0.1 btc in sports betting and plan to stop when i reach about 0.2 btc and i reach upto 0.18 btc and the last bet after which i plan to stop i loose that and from there keep loosing to reach the 0.1 again or even zero,so all the hard work,luck and time goes to waste.

I can definitely relate on this one. Just one round left to hit may target profit and be done for the day and then it just happened. I lost it and the bet becomes bigger and bigger until I can't bet anymore because I have no funds left and nothing to deposit also. I can't control myself when I lost because I keep coming back hoping that I will win back what I lost. If only that last round is a win then I would have a wonderful day. Well it's just not my lucky day.
1364  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Read this! It might be a revamped hashocean!!! on: August 23, 2016, 10:11:23 AM
Well, mining sites come and go and its just a matter of who goes first. If one decided to invest in this site, invest only what you can afford to lose and lucky for you if you gain profit from it before they will disappear so if there are any signs like increasing their rate of return or offering some promos that are too good to be true then be alert and maybe withdraw your investment because it may be a sign that they are preparing for their exit. There are many who benefited from hashocean before especially those early investors so if you want to have some extra passive income, you can invest in this site but invest at your own risk.

Make your passion your profession is ideal and there are only lucky few who were able to do what they really wanted to do. For me, I am doing what I am supposed to do and not because I like doing it but because I need to do it. It's hard when there's responsibility in your shoulders and its between choosing what you wanted to do which is your passion and what you need to do because it's what's needed at the moment. I can work of my passion but its not possible in the mean time but I'm determined to do what I like/love because for that moment that I'll do it, I will never work for a day in my life as what they say.
1366  Other / Off-topic / Re: Which profession do you like most? on: August 23, 2016, 08:44:00 AM
I really like professions related to IT, but more on the software/programming side. It's just awesome what the humanity has achieved and that's just the very beginning. No matter when you start to learn about things in the IT world, no matter how much you learn, there will always be something you don't know and there will always come new things and that's just fascinating.

I'm from a different profession related to numbers and analysis and I like it because I like to solve and analyze things but lately I've been interested in IT because it's information age now and almost all the things that we do are related to technology or shall I say we are dependent already in technology. Most jobs can be done online unlike before that you need to be physically in a certain place to do a job and this is why I am amazed with new technology because I wanted to work from home and it would be a great advantage if I am well versed with IT related stuffs like software and programming because its really in demand nowadays.
1367  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin worst decision you will ever make? on: August 23, 2016, 08:20:30 AM
I think the worst decision that I ever made is depositing bigger amount in gambling site just to get back the amount that I lost. I can't control myself when it comes to gambling especially if I already have consecutive losses. I get too emotional and then I try to get back what I lost and not thinking properly, I will bet bigger amounts resulting to bigger losses and when I don't have enough funds left, that's the time I will realized and regret with my decision on depositing my hard-earned funds and then just lost it in a few minutes. For now, I try to avoid gambling as much as possible because of my experience.

Luck comes second if something requires hard work and in trading you need to work but not to just sit and wait for winning just like gambling, because you will need to have an eye on the market when you are trading and you need to do researches about the coin you are going to trade, i obviously believe that if you are lucky you will surely win but if you work hard you would surely succeed in anything.

Hard work really pays off especially if you know what you are doing and you know your purpose. I agree that luck is only second when it comes to trading  because you need experience on it first before you can really grasp how it works and work hard on it putting your time and effort in understanding it. But you need also luck because no matter how hard you work on something if its not your lucky day then just let it be and try again the next day and you will be successful as long as you don't give up.
1369  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: actual number of people using Bitcoin? on: August 23, 2016, 07:45:22 AM
It is hard to determine the actual number of people but I think in terms of age range then I can guess around the age of 20s and 30s because they are the ones who are well versed with the new technology and witness the change of economy from industrial age to information age in which the transactions and jobs as well were highly dependent on technology. At the start of bitcoin's creation they were there and since they can understand technology than the older ones who will just stick to the old ways, they adopt bitcoin. They are the ones also who are most likely that can afford to buy bitcoin because they have work or has business and still can do something to make it grow with their own effort because they understand the technology and for the older ones, they will most likely just invest in bitcoin and earn from it by having passive income.
1370  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Most Valuable Right Now? on: August 23, 2016, 07:31:38 AM
how about dimonds or nucleae weapons  Grin if anyone ask me what will be the best profitable and expensive investment then i will only suggest buy some houses like 5-6houses if it is allowed in your country and rent them

This is a good passive income but make sure that your tenants are the kind who will take care of your property because it would be expensive for you if from to time there will be damages in your property or you just ask for security deposit from them and deduct their the expenses for repairs. The key I think of finding a good investment for a house is location because if you don't have tenants then you will have no income. This is one of my plan also when I have money to buy a house or apartment then rent them.
1371  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can bitcoins stop bad debts on: August 23, 2016, 07:18:07 AM
With the debt crises in the eurozone, bitcoiners have been advocating the use of bitcoin in place of fiat. I don't think that will solve the problem on ground, people will always borrow money whether cash or bitcoins. What do you think?

I think so too. Whether its bitcoin or fiat, people will still borrow it because you can purchase goods whether its fiat or bitcoin. Well bitcoin may still need to be converted to fiat to buy the things that they need but nevertheless it is still money so it will not stop bad debt. What people need is money management and it does not matter whether its digital or fiat money because both can be use for spending, investing, or saving.
1372  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin better or paypal? on: August 22, 2016, 06:11:41 PM
I think bitcoin is better than paypal because in bitcoin upon creating your wallet and then earn or buy bitcoin you can immediately use it while in paypal it needs to be verified first so that you can use it.There is no age limit in bitcoin while in paypal you need a card first to be verified which the owners should have documents and they are usually the employees or businessmen who are usually already of legal age.
1373  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Microlending as a way to get started? on: August 22, 2016, 10:46:07 AM
Since many have already done it in this forum then you can do it too.Just make sure that there is collateral and the member should already have credibility here of being trusted. Scam is rampant nowadays so the amount lent should be secured and you just start to let borrow someone small first and then when you already established some kind of trust to each other then you can let him borrow bigger amount later.This is a good way of earning passive income and I'm planning to do it too if I have accumulated bigger amount of bitcoin.
1374  Other / Off-topic / Re: Why would customers use Bitcoins? on: August 22, 2016, 10:28:45 AM
I came to figure out, why would a consumer/customer use Bitcoins?
You have to pay the 3 cent fee, while you dont have to pay anything when paying with a credit card.

So what is really a benefit for using Bitcoins, customer wise?

It is because as bitcoin user, it has no age limit as long as you understand bitcoin and how it works then you can use it unlike credit card that you have to apply for it and you can only have one if you can submit documentations that you can pay the amount if ever you use it and usually the ones who have it are employees or businessmen while in bitcoin, there is no documentation needed because even a student can use it. Bitcoin has anonymity in it while credit card have none.
1375  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The ‘Bitcoin Family’ One Year Later on: August 22, 2016, 08:23:01 AM
We are in the information age now so teaching children bitcoin at an early age is good so that they can be aware of the new technology. Being aware of what their father does for a living makes them think of how hard or simple they can earn money or bitcoin. I think they are more informed than me regarding crypto currencies and I'm happy to know that there is someone earning bitcoin for a living as his main bread and butter and not just a sideline.
1376  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bitcoin ATMs on: August 22, 2016, 07:44:21 AM
As far as I know, there is already a bitcoin ATM here in UAE but I did not see one yet.This is an advantage to people in here if they use bitcoin because about half of the population does not have access to banking services since there is a salary requirement in opening a bank account which is quiet high and only those who have positions in the company can usually open their own bank account. Using bitcoin, people can store their money as bitcoin and reduce the possibility of spending more because of the limited use of bitcoin.
1377  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Two things are certain: Bitcoin and Taxes on: August 22, 2016, 07:11:54 AM
Bitcoin users are increasing and so as its transactions and the government is aware of this that's why they would find a way to get their share of the pie through taxes. They are enjoying it when people use fiat currency because they have their share and now that a new currency has been circulating that they don't have control yet, they will find a way to get hold of it since there is a possibility that their budget will be lessen due to transactions that they can't charge taxes on.
1378  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: "Bitcoin" is the hottest topic for me.. on: August 22, 2016, 07:04:35 AM
It maybe the hottest topic for you since you are aware and using it but most of the people I think doesn't even know what bitcoin is. Bitcoin is not yet that popular and bumping into someone that knows bitcoin that is completely stranger to you has the slightest possibility.Some of your friends may know what bitcoin is because you introduce it to them or they are just interested in the technology.
1379  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who really uses bitcoin? on: August 21, 2016, 05:39:50 PM
If I remember correctly, the biggest demographic that uses Bitcoin was white males in their 20s and 30s, however I could be wrong. While the poll was done a while ago, chances are the demographic is still relatively similar, but I would expect more people to have started to use Bitcoin from other demographics. I don't think that there's any limit right now for who's able to join and use it.

Most of the bitcoin users I think are still in that age 20s and 30s. The user below 20s are maybe students who have IT related courses or introduce to them by their friends.Mostly are 20s and 30s because maybe they have businesses or jobs already in which case they can buy bitcoin as investment or they are just interested in the technology while the 40s and up are not inclined to the new technology anymore so they just stick to fiat currency and others who are involved with it may just want diversification of their investments.
1380  Other / Off-topic / Re: Why do you have Bitcoin? on: August 21, 2016, 05:22:51 PM
i have bitcoins just because i earn more from them by gambling/trading
Recently i also earning bitcoin through trading and i think trading is very useful and easy way to earn bitcoin and trading is very less risky than gambling.

I have bitcoin because I use it in trading. I started bitcoin investing in a cloudmining site that later become a scam. I was able to get back half of what I invested and then I learned my lesson in not investing anymore to any sites especially HYIPs. Every time I earn bitcoin, I add it to my trading capital.I've tried gambling also but I've no luck there because I have the tendency to get emotional when gambling especially if I have losses so as much as possible I avoid gambling.
