Oh yeah, gambling is really exciting. Sometimes you even feel like that before gambling, you can't wait till you can end your work and gamble a bit, sadly this is sign of addiction. You also feel very nice after you win, even if it's small amount,  i guess this is second reason why we gamble - first reason is because we can win  money from gambling.

It is really exciting just because I still have money that I can afford to gamble. Sometimes I use a small amount but for some rare occasion , I might be too overboard sometimes but it is addicting for me and Im still teying hard to figure out the best way to stop gambling for myself
if you still enjoying the activity i guess it will be hard for you to find the best way to stop, since sell will should take place to really achieved and quit this habits, i'm sure that enjoyment is the big reason why you became addicted better to look for some extra activities to divert attentions.
I will be only addicted to gambling if am winning all the time, but when you are losing, you would find a way to definitely quit. Every habit can be conquered if you have a strong mentality and will enough to stop it.
even peole become addicted if they are losing money, becasue after losing moey he is not accepting his lost and he start trying again and again and in fact it make poeple addicted to gambling.

Important thing in gambling business is the fact that the casinos exploit the people to follow their ego and not to accept defeat. We must not accept defeat is what most of us have in mind - but in gambling one must accept their losses or else the losses will keep on accumulating and then the person may go into debt. Chasing losses is a vicious cycle and only leads to more loss.

Online casinos are really capitalising of human emotions. When human become so emotional, it tends to get any rational decisions and it just is carried away by its emotions. So, better be watchful and always remember, when it is no longer fun, better stop at once.

Gambling is for me for fun, not expecting to win anything. So, if I want to try to make profit, I invest although some investments are similar to gambling Smiley

This is the best mindset - to just gamble to have fun and entertainment. If we are looking for profit in the first place, better invest it to stocks or other business ventures because there is a greater chacne that you will going to earn in the long run compared to risking hard earned money in gambling.
1623  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: July 17, 2017, 02:49:51 PM
I don't think so. If you do it wisely and don't lose your mind, why not.

That is true because after all, gambling is really for fun and entertainment. We should not make gambling as a source of income but a good way to release our stresses and just be happy and have some good time. Of course, we must only gamble once in a while and not like regularly because if we do, there will come a good tendency that we get hooked and addicted to it and instead of just playing fun, your life may become miserable.
1624  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can gambling be profitable in long term ? on: July 17, 2017, 02:39:05 PM
Yes, you can and it's possible to get profit on gambling in a long term. If you play on sportsbook, you can go to reddit soccer betting and reddit sportsbook and just follow the best tipster on that subreddit. With good bankroll and unit for each bet, i'm sure you can get much profit in long term bet. I already use this and it works, even the profit is not that big.


Good idea. The thing is, it really depends to what kind of gamble we are talking to. If it is a slot machine, then there is no way to guarantee that we can be profitable in the long run because the game is based on pure luck. Whereas, sports betting and poker requires skills in order for you to win.
1625  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What keeps you coming back??? on: July 17, 2017, 02:36:50 PM
This is only my observation and opinion based on my personal experience also, i keep playing its because i find it way easier to have money and easier to lose also. Just like what the others usually say, make sure you gamble an amount you can afford to lose. Greediness also is one of the hindrances why you keep coming back,  but just make sure to discipline yourself.

If you keep finding the same thing over and over again then why would you keep on doing so? If you know that you are going to lose then there is no point for you to keep coming back and lose your money. If you think that you can win and can afford it then go ahead but when you know you are going to lose then there is no point
Theres no really point on keeping this thing being repeated all over again. Only a few would really realize this thing when they lose up all over while playing gambling but majority will surely neglect this thing but rather focus even more on chasing loses and hoping to win some huge amounts on continuing playing without realizing the things that would happen to them later on.

you are correct mate. the very reason I really decided to finally quit the big gambling bets was when I realised that I already have my baby and I want to have a good stable income to raise him well and be a good provider for him.
1626  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to earn Bitcoin without investment on: July 17, 2017, 02:33:51 PM
You can earn Bitcoin by various means like signature campaigns and social campaigns. You can work as a free lancer on various free lancer sites and offer your services.

Definitely, signature campaigns is the most rewarding one. You can earn earn here a decent bitcoin that can aid in your budget. Faucets is a waste of time in my opinion, you only earn a small amount but it is a good start.

In recent Bitcoin prices, the signature campaign is definitely a good addition to your income compared to before when we were just starting and the amount of bitcoin is way too low. I was just using my signature campaign earnings in experimenting gambling strategies and trading cryptocurrencies.
1627  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does experience matter in gambling? on: July 17, 2017, 02:31:24 PM
gambling experience is a myth, dont believe it, there is no such thing can guarantee pro gambler will win, newbie gambler will lost
the one and only you need in gambling is Luck, 100% luck is matter in gambling.
luck cannot learn, you got it from newborn, so if your luck s*cks you need to quit gambling lol.

There are skilled based gambling aside from luck. Example of the skilled based gambling is poker - if you are well experienced, skilled, and have full knowledge of poker, you have greater chances of winning over the other players who are inexperienced and no skills of the game at all. But yes, most of the gambling games does not require skills but purely based on luck.
1628  Economy / Economics / Re: How can we make more money? on: July 17, 2017, 02:28:09 PM
The wise answer is to work hard and work smart, make money is not easy so we have to learn many things often. I suggest a simple way that is by trading or join ICO.
Yeah I agree to you. I also using this words as a motivation for me to become success "work hard work smart". Those two words have a lot of meaning. Just acquiring those two you can make many money.

Uhmm. That's actually four words.

I'd say it's easier said than done. Simply working smart is a hard thing to do. In order to "work smart", you have to know all the choices available for you. You have to know all about the economy in your area and the surrounding area. You have to research what business is profitable, what job is the highest paying one, which job is less tiring, which workplace is the nearest to you, etc. Without doing all of this, you would end up not having the best job or business that suits you the best unless you got lucky.

Working hard is also a hard thing to do. As humans, we can write down a systematic schedule but when it's time to act on doing them, it's really hard. At first we can do it, but following a schedule is really really tiring.

for me, my take on the concept of working hard and working smart is this: when you want something done and it requires a great deal of skills, you better work hard to know that skills and the workaround of that goal and when you mastered it and it becomes a habit already, then that is the perfect time to work smart - since you know the workaround, you can now hire someone and exactly teach them your system so you can scale it.

It is very hard to automatically hire someone who pretends to be expert and since you don't know of anything about it, then you just leave it to that person and you end up wasting a lot of money and time for that person. BUT, if you know the process because you work hard to learning the process, then it would be easier for you to spot the wrong and even guide them so that they will work on it effectively and efficiently.
1629  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin or gold? on: July 17, 2017, 12:17:10 PM
Today is probably the case when everyone rushed to transfer everything into gold, because there is no trust today in bitcoin.
Many people are panicking and selling their bitcoin because there will be something going on 1st of August. This proves that gold is stronger than bitcoin. And of course gold is safer than bitcoin, gold will not be hardfork, segwit, fluctuations, etc. I think gold is still the best

Actually gold and bitcoin are both the best investment - the former for potential short term gain and may even be long term while the latter is more on long term investment. Bitcoin is quite riskier than gold but when there is much risk , there is much gain as well. Now, it is up to the investor's preference who to choose. But for me, I am investing to both of them.
1630  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading is unpredictable job. on: July 16, 2017, 01:11:40 PM
There are many people who lost their money on trading, because trading is unpredictable job, in my opinion i need:
Method ( i must have system trading)
Money ( i must have management of money and risk)
Mind ( i must can control my emotion)
Tell me your opinions?

Yeah it's unpredictable because we can not make sure that the daily profit is not changing everyday. We can not make sure that the coins we buy today will increase their price or not.

There are really people that are so good in interpreting trading charts and news headlines to turn it into a profitable trading. We should learn these skills before we even try to trade big amount of money because if you just blindly trade, it is no different to gambling. We should be a skillful trader in order to win here.
1631  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When you play Dice can you feel your heart in your throat? on: July 16, 2017, 01:07:52 PM
It's really hard to gamble honestly speaking i click and i normally have a goal I'm like ok dude 3 more wins you what let's reduce the amount and when i win I'm like this is too much let's increase and finish it once it for all and slowly reach to my goal and gamble additional 0.001 to cover the withdrawal fees

Wow, I really can relate to this mate. It happened to me several times before that when I have some good earnings and was about to withdraw, I tried to bet one more time just to cover for the withdrawal fee but it turned ending with zero bankrolls because I kept on chasing the loses.
1632  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: July 16, 2017, 01:05:00 PM
hello everyone.
i want to know what do you think about gambling bitcoin.. Does Beneficial or more losses?
Share your story here guys!  Grin Grin Grin

There is nothing wrong with gambling as long as you're doing it responsibly. If you're gambling away your savings or worse, somebody else's money, it can have damaging consequences for you and the people around you. Which is why it can be bad.
For me, gambling is wrong even it beneficial to our life. Gambling is illegal in the public places because of being open and minor become interested on what they see in the adult. I think the reason why it is banned because if we become addicted we can't control ourselves to control those emotions that result bad in the end. And also if the teeneger influence this, they let the studying and become interested in the world of gambling.

In the government's perspective, gambling is not wrong for as long as it is regulated. But in religion, gambling is morally wrong due to the nature of it. I disagree with you saying that gambling is beneficial to our lives. I've known many people who exhausted almost all of their resources just to recover their losses. At the end, they either go broke or commit suicide. Like the latest gambling incident here in the Philippines, that is one significant example of a gambling addict who lost everything and at the end he committed suicide while killing others also.

Gambling, when done really just for fun and networking for a business prospect (let us say in brick and mortar casinos), it is good because it is sometimes a stress reliever to some. However, if your motivation to gamble is earned profits and or chase your previous losses, then that is where the bad events will likely happen.
1633  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Criminality and Bitcoin on: July 16, 2017, 12:58:45 PM
Bitcoin has nothing to do with increase in criminality rate.Criminality was there even before bitcoin was created.It would exist even if bitcoin dies.Criminals would love to use coins like monero ,zcash which are fully anonymous and not bitcoin which is pseudo anonymous.
You are absolutely right there is nothing to do with criminality because this has very long history and its going with many ways just not with Bitcoins criminal are using many ways for many years its just a mind set that criminality is increasing with this they are using many other methods which governments are unable to check

And in the first place, like fiat money, bitcoin was not made for the criminals as their mode of payment transactions. Bitcoin was designed with good intentions for its users and not for criminals. Hence, criminals can either use bitcoin and fiat money that is the fact.
1634  Economy / Economics / Re: Best way for steady income on: July 16, 2017, 12:52:18 PM
Mining is the best income. In addition to being able to invest in a good ICO coin for the future. Because btc is getting more and more liked
Unless you have low cost electricity and know how to manage your mining rig, mining isn't your place because highly chance you will lose because electricity cost and don't even try to invest on cloud mining because they're sucks.

You really cannot compete with big players in bitcoin mining industry if you don't have similar investment. We are talking her of hundred of thousands to million dollar investment. Yes, they are profitable but the investment is massive.
1635  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What keeps you coming back??? on: July 16, 2017, 12:46:01 PM
For most of people it's much hard to accept the lose on online gambling casino every time we got cheated by that casino. That is big reason which keep to chase our lose and in the end got addiction. This kind of thinking is really big problem and that is why so we see people crying while playing.

Accepting lose is never been easy to all of us. We have different levels of pride, there are gamblers that can easily accept defeat. But for some there are that can hardly accept it. Before it is one of the reason why I'm coming back, it's pushing myself to recover my lose and there is something telling in my mind that I shouldn't accept defeat.
It's a human nature.. losing is really hard to accept no matter what game we play. It really sometimes treat them as a form  demotivation so that's why people don't really accept being a loser. Good thing you were able to recover yourself from chasing your loses. It's really not a good behavior in gambling because you will not really ended up well and recover everything.

It will pull you down when you are feeling down and especially when you lost a big amount. It's hard to accept it, you'll do whatever it takes to recover that amount because you will think and regret it most of the time. And once you are not comfortable about that lose, it will always trigger you to get back again and again.
Precisely, they are triggered to get back again because they wanted to retrieve their loses on playing gambling. And we must avoid that minset because that will bring us from addiction and deplition of our money. We should always remind that gambling isn't the way to earn profit and play only the money thay we afford to lose.

We always want to retrieve our losses and it is happening most of the time. We can't control ourselves when we are starting to recognize our losses. There's nothing we are going to think but to recover it as soon as possible. And even it will take a lot of losses as long as we can recover that with a single blow.

That is really the start of the problem when people are chasing their losses. Most of the time, these people are driven by their emotions and can sometimes missed to realize that they are already losing big money out of chasing and hoping to win.
1636  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: July 16, 2017, 12:40:01 PM
After sometime I have learned to accept loss without so much regret. The fun now is with the events, promotions and in dice games, hunting big payout rolls and boasting it on chat.

Even mere chatting is addictive especially to a site full of keyboard warriors. Cheesy

It is always fun to gamble that is why I keep doing it. I dont know how theothers are going to enjoy it but everytime I win it is fun for me. Imagine that someday I can get alot of money by trying my luck with a small amount? that is going to be very great day for me however I know that it probably wont happen to me because I have bad luck
i never think that there is always fun and entertainment in gambling, i think we can only feel fun and enjoyment in gambling if we are making money there. bub if there is no money in gambling and if we are losing money there the i think we feel gambling as one of the most boring activity of the world.
in one side,you are right,gambling not always fun,and also people can't be play it for always looking fun or entertaiment,but i think people can be really entertain and fun when they playing gambling without any decision,including money,they just make fun with it,play with some friends,make fun with some bets and its really fun for me.

I don't like think too long, I always try to enjoy gambling addiction as a hobby that continues to be developed with analysis, income-generating hobby is also one of the best factors in the economy, I just need input seriousness in that and never give up.

Hold on, mate. Careful with inputting seriousness. Better do it easy way, it's a hobby like you said yourself. So, you can "give up" at any time you want, and it wouldn't be a problem. I like very very much everything what you said except the last part.

If you take gambling seriously then you will not only hurt yourself but also the people around you. Gambling itself is dangerous if done in an irresponsible way and thus one should take it as a source of entertainment only. Where you pay the casino owner some cash and in return you are entertained - not the best method to recreation i guess but its the way of the casino. If you think you are going to be a millionaire by gambling - well thats the start of becoming an addict.
gambling is one of the most serious game, it is the game of money, where the chances of losing money is more that gaining it, therefore you need to be too much serious about your gambling activity and need to play it with planing and strategy.

That is a delusion that some people have about gambling and it denotes that they are addicted to gambling. The fact that one can be come rich by playing with their money is itself a wrong thing. One must understand that the casinos are built by the casino owners and for the profit of the casino owners and not the players. If you are serious about making money get a job or start a business and not gamble.

People are blinded with this fact when they are playing because they are so focused on the what if they are going to win big because others got the big winnings. Once a person realized that casinos have these house edge advantage, they will just play for fun and entertainment and not for profit.
1637  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can gambling be profitable in long term ? on: July 16, 2017, 11:41:39 AM
If you have enough wiseness to do it, you can.

Actually, you cannot make a 100% sure prediction that the lucky streak will continue or the losing streak will stop.Of course, there is a reason behind this uncertainty. Even if he/she has a wiseness strategy,gambling will not be a long term profit.
Correct, it is impossible to predict whether our luck will continue or it will run out, in fact that is one of the principles of our universe, there is randomness that we cannot predict, if we could I would have unveiled the principles of the universe long time ago.

If you worry about the investment amount on gambling, you have move backward once you see the continuous loose in gambling whether it is casino or betting. In these both option you need to be little aware of the loosing money and need to overcome the failure.


Gambling is not an investment per se. If you think of investing your money go for trading and buying altcoin to sell, they are much more profitable. In gambling if one is on a green streak they need to stop as soon as they can. You never know when the house edge is going to kill you balance and you will end up broke. Then bankroll needs to managed properly if one think of making any profit in gambling.

Gambling can only be called as an investment when you invest with the casino owner. Other than that, it is no longer an investment because the risk is so high that winning for a long run is very slim. Well, it is each person's risk preference - if other people think of it as an investment because they can get away with the house edge advantage, then they are really exceptional.
1638  Economy / Gambling / Re: Investing in btc casinos on: July 15, 2017, 01:14:29 AM
It is not a bad idea the profit you get is generally low but the thing i like about investing in casinos is no matter what in long run you will surely earn some profit from your investments that's what makes investing in casino different. If you hold for a year you can easily earn more than 10% in profit which is decent seeing bitcoin price will increase a lot in a year

the thing is you should also always monitor your investment because there comes really a time that a lucky shark will win big. It is okay, it is part of the game, you just have to reinvest regularly to earn in the long run. You also wanna monitor for site announcement like in betking when they have announced that they are no longer accepting investors. that way, you can withdraw your investment timely
1639  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Trading vs Gambling on: July 15, 2017, 01:11:30 AM
Both are the same really, both lose you tons of cash. As far as I am concerned there is no difference. When you trade, you gamble that the price of the coin you are trading will move in a particular direction. If it does, fine, you win. If it goes against you, not good, you lose. How is this different from gambling?
The difference is that in trading you can cut your losses while in gambling once you make the bet luck decides what happens, trading in a way is similar to poker, most people lose but there are those with enough skill to make money out of it in a regular basis.
yes I think if the price again start increasing then you have the chance to recover  your lost. and even can change your lost in to prifit if the prie go further more.
Both skills in trading and gambling have a role to increasethe winning probability of a trader or gambler . The price recovers if it is a good coin  but if not you will be more in lost of profit .Other thing is in trading the knowledge you have is better applied than gambling but both canmake us greedy if you push to earning in losing situations.

Mastering trading skills and knowledge is way important and worth the time than mastering how to gamble - well, this is just my personal opinion because trading can be a profitable venture while you can mitigate the risks by the knowledge and skills you have. You will not always win because you can lose trades that is for sure but at least you can manage to win more with your trading skills.
1640  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: bitcoin cannot replace currency in the world because price is not stable on: July 15, 2017, 12:59:28 AM
Exactly what I've been thinking. You never know how much your bitcoin is going t be worth tomorrow, next week or month. Maybe the value will increase, or maybe decrease dramatically.

I do not know what are you saying, bitcoin itself is a currency, but just a digital currency where there are no physical coin and a decentralised currency.
And I think even if it had a low price, if government found these digital currency to be secure, stable and safe they will be using these digital currency.

I agree with you about bitcoin as a currency. The fact that it keeps changing its value qualifies it as a currency - there is a continuing flow of value or price. When bitcoin will continue to give value and secure transactions, it is just a matter of time that government will get noticed to it. But the downside is if they will regulate it.
