It depends on the themes and features, but slot games are OK, especially ones that give me plenty of free spin bonuses Smiley

True sometimes I also when get a chance look around for it and see if luck is on the site. Though end up mostly losing only as it is bound to happen this slot games are purely luck based games and no skill require where you get a chance to make the game on your side.


Since it is based on pure luck, it should be played just for fun and entertainment because you will most of the time be disappointed when you are too focused on profit.

The thing is, slot games is really a very entertaining game but will shift no longer fun when you lose a lot of money that you can't really afford to lose.

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

I feel neutral about it, I don't have the feeling of regret or hate in gambling I just wanted to play to satisfy my wants and boredom, it doesn't give much benefits for me though. For me, it is just a game, a game that you'll always lose but will satisfy your greed and desire to win on every gamble you have done.

You answered it very safely there mate. Because who are we to say that gambling with bitcoin is bad or good, right? Because each gambler has its own reason(s) why they are playing. Some are just playing for fun and entertainment while others are for pure profit. It really depends on individuals preferences.

Gambling is the most dangerous sport diver, unfortunately once I get infected it becomes very impossible to leave it, so if you want to stay away from it you can not leave it.


You can just play for fun and entertainment with money for bankroll that you can afford to lose. This way, you will not risk so much that will affect you emotionally and you just play and having fun no matter what the outcome of that gambling session you are playing.
744  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why some people prefer Bitcoin over fiat ? on: November 20, 2017, 11:58:22 PM
I'm not really surprised that some people prefer to use Bitcoin over fiat. Bitcoin is much faster, safer and more anonymous when it comes to international transfers and the most important: such transactions are available 24 hours a day unlike conventional banking in my country. I wouldn't use Bitcoin for small payments because they are too slow for that.

Yes, don't use bitcoin for small payment because the fee is still the same whether small or big transaction. Better hold and invest only to accumulate more bitcoin than use it to pay for your little errands and stuff like that that fiat money can handle.

Gambling is good too if you want to profit big amount at once go and play but there is also possibilities that you will lose it. But investment is about trustingyour money to someone, just like that. Its like giving your money about a year and wait until its going to profit.

Gambling is not good if you want profit and you are the one to gamble. Profit in gambling is also good but it's very unstable in a way that you'll be streak in deficit. It's also hard to recover in gambling, that's why if you want to take a risk but you are comfortable that you can recover on it later on, go with legit investments.
It is always be a problem when people come to a casino and want to make money steady.
Then that moment you might have to think about trading has bigger chance to make the mission completed successfully.
Noone can deny the fact that gambling isn't profitable for the long term.


Well i think investing in a  casino is better than playing against the house and so if you get the chance to invest in bitcoin casino then you should go ahead unless you have a working strategy that can beat the house  and that is the only time i will advice you to gamble instead.

No strategy can beat house suppose if anyone beat house it's just by luck not from strategy. But investing in casino sites also risky who knows when they will shut down and go home. If that happens to whom we have to ask? Whatever we invested everything will go. And to make a decent profit, we have to invest min 1 BTC this is also not worth but manageable.

That is really one of the big risk to a person that invest in online casinos that accept investors to their house bankroll. That is why it is really important to do due diligence in knowing the casino and making it sure that they are trustworthy, credible, and that many people are investing to them.
746  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do you manage ur emotions? on: November 20, 2017, 11:53:17 PM
Knowing your emotional triggers can help you avoid the problems in the first place. Being able to alter your thoughts and reactions will build your confidence in your own ability to cope. With practice, you’ll be able to turn negatives into positives, and, each time, gain emotional fulfillment.

What helps bigtime is to have other things in mind and not to be extremely focused on trading. Being too engaged in one thing makes you vulnerable to all different types of emotions.

It is really hard to control our emotions because it is really innate to us as human beings. However, the more we practice to control it, the more we are going to manage it when in terms of dealing with our gambling or trading.
747  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does experience matter in gambling? on: November 20, 2017, 11:51:47 PM
Experience, in my opinion, is important in any case and in gambling too. I just doubt that this experience will help when playing roulette. Rather, there must be luck.
roulette is also a game based on luck there is no way experience can help you win in any way gambling means only luck except a few strategic games but overall experience only helps you to decide what your next move should be
well, the experience will not help you to win the game, but the experience will help you to minimize losses and maximize profit or didn't take both at all. The ability to self-control like emotion control and greed control will help us to choose a good move.
experience has always helped us to only know when to stop and when is the right time to withdraw it has nothing to do with getting a profit if you are making a profit with experience you will know when is the right time to take profit

Correct. However, when we talk of games like poker and sports betting, it is really another story because these games need some sort of skills - these are the skills that you get out of your experience in the game. The more you have the skills, the more likely that you are going to win.
748  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading is unpredictable job. on: November 20, 2017, 11:49:31 PM
Trading is maybe unpredictable job but it is really profitable because with the right decisions and great source of information for learning then you can become successful in this so called unpredictable job because with trading, it is just very easy to make money because you can play with the volatility which is a great advantage compare to the other type of market.

Yeah, I agree that trading can be very profitable if you just know what you are doing. When you know where to enter or position yourself in a volatile price, you will have the potential to earn big.
749  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin or gold? on: November 20, 2017, 11:47:33 PM
the gold price is unstable, and can be played by the mafia, and the bitcoin will be stable even though it can come down unexpectedly.
I think, I prefer bitcoin, because it is much safer than the other investment
I must say that it will not be only you who will go for having bitcoin in his wallet. In fact, there will be lot more including me who will prefer to have bitcoin in their wallets instead of gold. Gold is also a good way of investing your money but the thing is gold is having a stable market price and it cannot help us in making huge amount of profit. Bitcoin on the other hand is the best way of investing money.

Correct. Bitcoin is the new investment vehicle that can bring fortune in no time when you just know what you are doing. Gold has less price volatility these times and its kinda hard to earn big in short period of time compared to bitcoin.
750  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Another wall street idiot, this time, Jordan Belfort calls bitcoin a fraud. on: November 20, 2017, 11:45:42 PM
He maybe an expert on stocks but he has no knowledge how Bitcoin or blockchain works. He also has a record of taking advantage of people so he is the fraud not Bitcoin. He is likely trying to make the Bitcoin price drop so he can have a nice entry point on Bitcoin. Their strategy are to obvious, bash when the price drops buy. 

You have it right there mate. I also suspect that he was doing it to bitcoin and with all of these publicities and press releases so that it will affect the price of bitcoin to go down and he can then enter and buy bitcoin at cheaper price.
751  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Buying and Holding the only way? on: November 20, 2017, 11:44:07 PM
No, there are other ways to earn bitcoin. You can start by participating in a signature campaign. Signature campaigns pay bitcoins weekly. You can also try joining logo-making contest but you should win in order to gain bitcoin. If you are a good programmer, some will pay you for creating websites or programs. If you earn bitcoins with those things, hold it and sell it.

True, there are a lot of ways to grow our bitcoin and signature campaign is one of them. Bug bounty, logo and signature design are the other good ways but those will require special skills. Trading is also good example on how to increase our bitcoin. Strictly speaking, we can do something that fit with our conditions to collect or to grow our bitcoin. Buying and holding aren't the only way.
Yes surely there are so many ways that can help you to make bitcoin. It is not necessary to have such amount that would be used to buy bitcoin and then hold them for making good profits. These are the better ways too but not the only ways. So like you said here, bounty and bug campaigns are there to get bitcoin. The most important is trading, this has more chances to earn.

I agree about trading. When you spend some time to learn hard about cryptocurrency trading and you develop your emotional control and be patient with your trades, you will have a long way to go and has potential to accumulate more bitcoins than you could ever have with bounty and all of that stuff. Of course, there is really a need to invest in yourself to learn the ins and outs of crypto trading.
752  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to play gambling in a smart way? on: November 20, 2017, 11:41:23 PM
You want to play gambling in a smart way but the question is: How on earth can you beat gambling when it very random in the first place? You could maybe win a nice amount but in order to get a larger amount that you wish, you should also bet a larger amount so there is really no such thing as smart way.

You can, invest on the site. You dont need to beat it, you just need to make money out of it. Sometimes this is the most popular form of beating gambling that nobody actually aware of. If you earn from it, no matter what the way is then you are beating it. It is as simple as that and no one give a flip on it no matter that they are actually aware of it

Investing in reputable online casino sites that accept investors is one of the best ways to increase your bitcoin. Come to think of it, you are just like the owner of the company and companies stay in business because they are earning and so you will.
753  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I quit trading on: November 20, 2017, 11:34:16 PM
Is it a fail? You had a great experience of trading with cost of 7 btc (what was the price when you bought it?), but also held (if that is so) these 40 btc for two years right now. Its price increased in enormous way, and getting it at low price lead to really high profits.
Trading is an art and not every one of us in an artist. Quitting trade is not a god option actually. That is why it is recommended by most of the experts to study well before even stepping into the world of trading. If you are going to quit trading, there is no way that you are going to get what all you have lost. You actually need to learn from your mistakes and you need to keep on trying hard for better results.



As what they are always saying - in trading, you either win or learn. So, every time you lose on a trade, try to reevaluate what you have done and spot where you made some mistake - was it because of emotion? did you sell too early? did you fail short with your speculations? and the like.
754  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's your biggest regret about bitcoin on: November 20, 2017, 11:31:24 PM
I regret not saving my coins when the price was cheap, and also to not invest in many successful ico's when i had the chance (exception to UNIVERSA...), and i will regret for do not have money to buy today  Embarrassed.
Yes the one and only big regret of most of the people can be that they are not holding bitcoin till now. because most of the people have sold their bitcoin when the price of bitcoin cross 4000$ but now we can see that the price of bitcoin is even trading above 7000$. which make people to regret for their decision they have taken when the price of bitcoin was trading at 4000$.

I sold a lot of coins before when it was just pricing $315+. My mind setting then was that how come this coin can be worth like $300+ and that is why I just sell and sell every time I have accumulated bitcoin. But not until I realized that it has a potential to reach $10000 and we are very near to it these time.
755  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your reason to gamble? Fun or profit? on: November 20, 2017, 11:28:35 PM
Personally, i play for fun. We all want money nobody can deny that, but, for me it's about fun more than profit. It's my favorite activity in the weekend and i do regulary. If you're playing for the profit only, you will end up getting bored and broke because the lack of passion will make stressed and afraid of loosing everytime you play. We all hate loosing but it does not bother me that much if i enjoyed the game.

For some people, they claim that they are getting bored because they cant enjoy what is fun about playing for fun. They want to win alot of money that is why they play for profit. Personally I dont agree but it is their money that we are talking about so we cant really do anything if they can afford it then they could continue with that kind of thing
Basically, people gamble for profit because it's a gamble promising us a profit when winning. So it's natural that we gamble for profit, not a strange thing, too. Most here judge that what they are doing is wrong, there are still many here who feel the wisest person.

I agree that it is really hard to just play for fun and not for profit and that is the very reason why there are just few of people who are just playing for fun and the rest are for profit. For me, it takes a lot of hit and going from big to zero bankrolls and having a baby that made me just play for for fun.
756  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How Can We Make Sure Bitcoin Never Ends? on: November 20, 2017, 11:26:43 PM
Well it all comes down to us users stop taking advantage the fact that bitcoin is decentralized and use them forbthe purpose of doing crappy things like doing illegal transactions here, show the government and the world the advantage of having bitcoin as part of the currency of the world today, also continue supporting bitcoin through doing a lot of services and by never stoppingbin investing in here.

As long as there will always be me and you that will continue accumulating, holding, and using bitcoin, it will never end and will even grow more in time when many people get to be introduced by it and when people make bitcoin as their hedge in case there will be some problem with their fiat currencies.
757  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: November 20, 2017, 04:19:05 PM

It's the reason why we have to be aware that every time we gamble we need to know our limitations. It is all starting there, if you are not conscious of your limitation that will start to make you addicted. You win without thinking of limitation and you gamble without limitation. That's likely very possible to give you an angle of becoming addicted soon as gambling is simply addicted when we are winning.

some people know their limit but they try to push that limit over them. Sometimes people that keep pushing themselves doesnt know when to stop and it is bad which could make them heavily addicted someday. I have been getting through this stage already so I know better than most people how it feels to be addicted when you are pushing over your limit

They know they limit but they can't control their minds. It's hard to control when you are in that moment that you are thinking that gambling will help you to survive when you are in times of needs. In this time if you are feeling the same way like those gamblers better to shutdown your computer or things will get worst.

That means they dont know their limit right. If they know their limit then they should stop once they reach that limit. Some people keep saying that they cant control it. I know it is hard but when they have tried their best they should be able to do it. Just like me, I reached this state after keep on doing it and following the limit that I set
I think we could not specify any answer for this question that why is gambling so addicting. The thing is that gambling becomes an addiction for people due to a number of different reasons. The addict has his or her own reason indeed. Some are addicted to it because they want to earn money in a huge amount without putting much efforts and other are only addicted to the fun they do experience when they gamble.

when a person regularly gambles in long hours or short, they are forming that habit that they think is normal but indeed it is not. So, when you play regularly, it is just a matter of time that you get addicted to gambling.
758  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Worried about btc future on: November 20, 2017, 04:16:31 PM
Thre really is no more need to worry about it than worrying about the US dollar.

Relax and chill. It will make you rich!

We should not be worried about it because after all, we always gamble our future and time and take calculated risks from time to time. So, I suggest that  just invest with bitcoin and try everything (legal ways) to get a hold of it for years.
759  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you like slot games ? on: November 20, 2017, 04:13:26 PM
Yes because compared to all the game in casino or online, slot games are the less stressful game that I acually enjoy. You are just like a child playing with colorful images.

It all depends on individual players because I don't like slot games at all. I think even dice game also not a stressful game because whatever settings you do no guaranty that you will win so just play with some settings to enjoy free time. I will get bored of slot games very fast so I don't like those games.

Less stressful because you're basically just going to stare at those lights and hope to get a good combination. Don't you get bored when you play slots? Cheesy
And this is why I do not like to play slots, I prefer to play games that make me think, games like poker and blackjack are my favorites but I can understand why some other people will prefer slots over poker since they are gambling to relax themselves and not to think carefully about each play they are going to make.

You hit it mate! People that want to unwind and just having fun prefers gambling games that do not really requires a lot of mind work and strategies like poker and sports betting. Although, I find it relaxing to do sports betting Smiley

Yep that's exactly how it is for me. I can never relax while having a sports bet on the line.. Always at the edge of my seat hahah. With slot games I can't get mad at anyone or anything really, sometimes you are lucky and sometimes not. I prefer putting my faith in a randomizer determined by luck rather than other humans playing a sport Cheesy.

At the end of the day, it is always each persona preference - some people are really having fun playing slot games while others may not. So, the lesson is very simple, as long as you are happy with what you are doing right now, go for it.
760  Economy / Speculation / Re: Reasons Why Bitcoin Price Drops on: November 20, 2017, 04:11:28 PM
I think why bitcoin drops because many people sell their bitcoin. Last fee days the price decreased many people who bought bitcoin because they want tk get free bitcoingold after fork so if they hear the fork is cancelled they sell their bitcoin. But as of now th eprice increase again .

Yes, right very now, the price of bitcoin is increasing and it is more than $8000 already and I really no wonder that it will go as far as $10,000 per bitcoin very soon.
