it is as long as you know your limits and restrictions. gambling really is a fun and exciting form of entertainment it's just that when people get addicted to it that problems happen. as long as you know when to stop then go ahead it is worth playing

Mostly it depend which game you choose to play some are purely based on luck, some demand a very good knowledge and some are based on skill, don't be get confused with this so if you are going to play on dice, slots or roulette than these are luck based games, so any person can win on these just to be lucky.

in my opinions do sports betting or play poker as gambling.
atleast these games have some chance as they don't only depends on luck,your brain also exercise with these.

simple,its not possible to make any decent amount through gambling starting with 0.01 btc.Actually it would not be possible even if you start from 1btc because you will loose sometime for sure.If you are lucky you can reach 0.05 btc or 0.1 btc but you will surely loose them if you keep betting or gambling with them.

go for it if you have cheap or free electricity and extra money to invest in..

there will always be something to mine.. besides you can sell the gear and get some of the money back.

i wonder how much BTC is hurting ETH? I thought after the hard fork  that everyone would switch, I was totally surprised on what happened afterwards. It almost makes me wonder which one to keep. But, I think ETH will stay on top, but it would help if ETC would go away, but probably won't happen soon.

is there still a chance to earn steem if I get to start writing there?
I'm curious to see how much i would be earning if I write one article per week to which I will also be promoting my own blog. is it allowed as well to link our own blog in the articles?

One thing is sure. This rise provoked a growing spurt in Monero. Transactions are up, people checking Monero blockchain data are up 500% in just ONE of the blockexplorers available. We're getting there. I don't know if 5 bucks is the fair price for monero today, bu one thing is certain. It is much more valuable than in the beginning of 2016.

So, if you bought the top or close, don't worry. Many people did the same in 2014, and those who held did better than those who didn't. And the ones that averaged down did best. But try to improve your timing, okay?

The weakening Yuan is continuing to drive Bitcoin trading in China, pushing the cryptocurrency's price towards $700. Bitcoin's price reached a high of $686.80 on 27 October.

Three major Chinese exchanges - Huobi, OkCoin and BTCC - have reached approximately 7m Bitcoin in a 24 hour period - although this should be taken with a pinch of salt, as there are accusations of trading bots at work to inflate volumes, says Charles Hayter, CEO of CryptoCompare.

Hayter said: "The People's Bank of China's attempts to halt the slide have seen foreign currency reserves dwindle and a large leg up in the price was due to ceasing of market operations on behalf of the Government that saw the Yuan breach the psychological CNY 6.7 barrier.

Almost one million bitcoins, worth more than half a billion dollars, are currently stuck in no man’s land as the network struggles to meet rising demand from China.

At one point, 70,000 transactions were stuck, unleashing a mountain of complaints from worried bitcoin users who took to bitcoin’s main communication channels of r/btc and r/bitcoin to ask why their transaction does not confirm. Among the complainants was a parent who wondered why their son’s payment to Microsoft is not going through. Another asked why his transaction has not confirmed in 24 hours while others wanted to know how to “delete” unconfirmed transactions.

The surge in demand acted as, in effect, a DDoS of the network, denying service to users due to a 1MB transaction space limit which has been the subject of debate for many years with no solution achieved due to refusal from some bitcoin developers, mainly employed by Blockstream, to in any way provide a solution in time for surging demand.

No it is not a part of our daily life. You're gambling because you chose it and no one force you to do it. The fact that you can earn money or even be rich in an instant without exerting too much effort is what attracts people into gambling. But in fact there are higher chance that you will only just going to lose money in gambling than going to earn profits from it . If gambling becomes part of your daily life it means that you're addicted to it.

Yes it works. I know of a guy who does special black magic. He never loses and till date he has bankrupted all the gambling sites already.

Are we seriously asking this ?  Its just like that post where people claim they have figured out a strategy to win in gambling, and are about to go bankrupt sites next.

Blackjack and dice(i bet sometimes, my luck is bad) i prefer to.
Also sports betting is my favorite too, especially football and basketball. i prefer to game which need at least little skill for play, because my luck is bad as hell

Gambling was designed to be entertainment, a game to pass time. Then people started to gamble with money and gambling gained additional connotations.
But the primary idea is the same if you win - it is fun  if you lost it is too bad

Gambling is a subject which is directly proportional to your luck! As scientists say the luck factor is related to your stars and some astrology BS.We can take Dan Bilzerian for example, he earns massive amounts by playing poker in LV!Not every poker player has made it this big ,there're a few exceptions! Also, I have heard about the stories of the people losing their homes and property in gambling.Lucky are those who're smart!At the end of the day they play it smart!As long as your greediness doesn't take over your smartness you're safe .

Yes to play gambling first thing we want that is money I agree. If we have enough money means we can try all games without knowledge also. But if we play with our personal money so in that time more important is knowledge. Yes, we know everything about that game in detail after you can put your money at risk. Here luck is important in all matter.

You can consider it as gambling I have no doubts about it and I also think it is a sort of gambling to be honest because its like gambling with the risks it has these days.

Feeling lucky with gambling is very precious thing when we make huge profit with low amount than we feel fantastic with kind of amazing winnings, so that i think without luck gambling is only curse and nobody can survive there in long run.

In case of profit, I will say that I'm good on poker and sports betting. At least I'm not in a lose on those two games, while I'm in negative on other games like dice, roulette, slots and other pure luck based games.

I think maybe it would be Profitable, if you never spend money on gambling, but you always play with the free money, so that when it wins it will be profitable and when defeat it's no problem.
