Its not obvious till they get away with it and then think its normal to do this, invariably it becomes obvious by repetition.   People never do this just once, the gambling cartels that sponsor corrupt results in games always want to come back and do more so in the end the players who are willing to throw a game or result in some way become known in that community, etc.   Secrets dont stay secret that long usually.
I sometimes wonder if the match that I'll be watching will be a fixed match or not. There a lot sports that I've watched that feels like it's a fixed match for example is Basketball that has a 5 match program. You can easily guess that it will be a 3-2 game or a 4-1 game as you'll feel that the other team are really just throwing the game.
Anyway, I've only heard a few sport games that has been reported to be cheating or being a fixed match and they were punished heavily for what they've done.

Not to mention, Bitcoin being used on gambling sites is one of the many reasons that it flourished to what it is now. Of course there will be pros and cons on using bitcoin or other crypto on gambling sites, but I say it's on the individual to weigh that if it's convenient for them on using it or not. For me, I say it's more convenient but I try to limit it especially if it concerns my privacy.
Exactly, the adaption of bitcoin and other crypto being used as the main currency for gambling is one of the great thing why crypto is flourishing and prospering. Actually, other than security and anonymity of the users, there is no main pros for crypto gambling website differ in just a regular online casino. Anyways, the convenience it provides to us in the crypto industry to directly use our crypto to gamble is already to good for me.

One accusation might be enough to ruin ones gambling platform however it will still depend on the outcome of the accusations made on the casino. The example amount you've mentioned might take a few time for it to be resolved as the platform with need to thoroughly investigate the issue as it involve a huge amount of money.
1084  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Slots is More Likely to Cause Gambling Problem on: June 12, 2022, 01:16:47 PM
The thing that gets most people are the small rewards that Slots give people during their playing session. They think that Slots will pay a big Jackpot, if they keep on playing for long enough, but for most people that never happens.

They also see "Paid" Streamers playing a Slot until it pays a big amount and they think that they can do the same thing. Those "Paid" Streamers can do that, because they use a casinos money to do it.... so you cannot emulate that, because you do not have that amount of money.

                                                                "Responsible gamblers know when to stop"
 
Only a few number of people could be called as responsible gamblers as most of us are easily get hook to winning especially with slots and other simple gambling games like dice.The emotions we feel when gambling and the thrill of winning keep us on betting.
Those bets you've mentioned that are made by streamers are probably for advertising and yes, the bets they're doing are paid by the casino.
1085  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake and primedice are the worst gambling sites on: June 12, 2022, 06:18:52 AM
I DONT BOTHER to read anything posted by stake puppets
Great, you bother to post an accusation from the gambling websites, Stake and Primedice, yet you don't want to hear opinion from it's user. They've obviously explained that they have not encountered any issue with the platforms as well as the accusations you've said. Why can't you provide any proof instead to prove them wrong?
Even Stunna, asked for a proof yet you've continuously saying that the platform is shady and that you're previous accusations turned out correct. That is not a proof and is not related to the platform.
1086  Economy / Gambling / Re: Cloudbet | Bitcoin Casino & Sportsbook | The No.1 Bitcoin Gambling Site on: June 11, 2022, 05:58:29 AM
For real, This would be a great idea to implement future events such as Pizza Bake-Off contest like what the forum have done. Also, it would be a great a idea since the campaign manager, icopresss, is one of the active members on the forum who joined these events. Hopefully, they'll be able to use events created on the forum and  implement it on their platform for future events and promotions.
In fact, I'm currently in discussions with Cloudbet to launch similar initiatives.

In addition, I will definitely pass all the feedback left into the hands of the right person, all ideas and comments.
That's great to hear that, hopefully Cloudbet will launch these initiatives soon. It will be exciting to see events being launch that is related with the current events here at the forum.
1087  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sports Betting vs Online Casino Games: Which do you prefer? on: June 11, 2022, 03:23:30 AM
Your friend might be correct on his opinion about sportsbet being much more complicated than on simple gambling games like dice and slots. Rewards on these kind of games might be instant however you will be relying on mostly with luck with these games. It might be fun and less stressful compared to sports betting however it is also addicting. If you're friend will be able to moderate his gambling activities, then he'll do fine.
I also, agree with him that sport betting is kinda stressful especially when you're betting with your favourite team. You only did not lose money, but you also feel sad that your team lost
1088  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake and primedice are the worst gambling sites on: June 10, 2022, 10:22:01 AM
I still don't know why people are making stake and pd look like the best dice sites when they are actually the worst.
1. They do not give you loss back.

2. The top high rollers are fake meaning you will never win first place Or the fake lotteries.

Why are people hyping these useless sites when these sh*t things they do are obvious.
And yes some clueless or paid supporters will come trying to refute this claim. And I will ignore them like I ignore plagues.  Grin
I am not sure why you are so upset? I have used Stake for a long time but have nenver seen anything wrong with them. I cannot comment about primedice as I haven't used it. I won't say that stake is a hyped casino but I would rather say they have a very agressive marketing team who are constantly coming out with new offer to make that hype. If you have anything to prove your accusations then you should put it out here.
Good thing, that you have not experience any issue with stake. Anyways, I've been using Primedice or PD for a long time now and I also did not encounter any issue with. Also, I doubt that the High Rollers are fake from these platforms as I was able communicate with them and they even provide tips on the chat that is available on the website.
As far as I know the creator for both of these platform are related to each other and they are very active on the forum. Primedice might not be as active as before but stake has been introducing a lot of promotion on the forum.
1089  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and Human Rights on: June 09, 2022, 05:59:20 AM
Upon reading the article you've mentioned, both sides has their own reasonable opinions in regards with crypto. It is a good thing the more people and organization are fighting for bitcoin and the whole cryptocurrency. With the effects of inability of other countries such as Nigeria, Turkey and Argentina to their local currencies, Cryptocurrencies was able to provide assistance for them as well as with the current war happening with Ukraine and Russia. Whereas, Ukraine was able to receive was financial assistance through cryptocurrency.
However, the crypto critics also has their own reason such as the significant volatility on various crypto and NFTs. Also, with various hacking issues that have rose in the past few years which doubt them with the technology of crypto.
Anyways, I fully support crypto and I hope that the Congress won't make irrational decision of restricting access on cryptocurrencies as it will make a huge impact with its citizens.
1090  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your Mantra After, while playing And Before You Gamble on: June 09, 2022, 02:48:01 AM
I don't know why I've never done anything like that because what I know is that when we play gambling, only luck and courage can make us win a gamble, so all of that is each person's suggestion when they are gambling.
It's not really necessary that we need to think or make some kind of mantra when gambling. Just like me, I don't really think of a mantra when gambling as I mainly gamble to win money with the help of luck and strategy. However, when one of my buddies was with me while gambling, we had fun when we try to think of a mantra or something to say when gambling especially with luck based games like roulettes and dices. So yeah, it much fun when having a mantra especially when you're with someone to enjoy gambling more.
1091  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Could Bitcoin's transparency be its downfall? on: June 09, 2022, 01:05:36 AM
No one really cares that there are some illegal transactions in transaction history of many coins, not even governments care. You're not gonna get busted for having a tainted coin in this sense. What government might care is if Bitcoin becomes more and more popular among criminals - that would mean that Bitcoin became a loophole in the modern world of financial monitoring.
There might be some instances where it really cares especially if the amount transacted is too large. I don't doubt that the government are monitoring some wallets that has huge amount of bitcoin or other crypto. So yes, there's a possibility that you might get in trouble or be busted for tainted coins on your wallet. Also, Bitcoin and other crypto are already popular to various criminal activities such as Darkweb transactions not only today but also a few years back.
I suggest to try mixing your btc first if you will be engaging in large sum of btc where you do not know where it originated.

1093  Economy / Gambling / Re: How do you know how to trust online sportsbooks? on: June 08, 2022, 02:55:24 AM
Although it is not easy, maybe we can choose the old sportsbooks that have proven that they have no scam accusations...

I don't know if there is even a sportsbook that has no scam accusation. Especially the old ones, they must have their fair share of scam accusations. But this is not to say that they're scamming people. It's just that there will always be users who will cry scam every time they are inconvenienced by the platform. So a research is always necessary. But if the basis is zero scam accusation, you might end up with either a very new and unknown platform or nothing at all.
Most but not all old casino out there might have there fair share in regards with scam accusation, however it might be wise to know and check out these accusation made as you might find out some fraudulent users and trying to make some kind of accusation just to be compensated.
Anyways, most scam accusation that I've seen are mostly about withdrawal issue, account being locked and incorrect rewards won. Common reason as to why these accusations are made are due to users not following the terms and conditions especially with banned countries and VPN issues. So yes, I suggest to review the accusation made if those are valid and also look as to how the casino was able to handle the situation.
1094  Economy / Gambling / Re: Cloudbet | Bitcoin Casino & Sportsbook | The No.1 Bitcoin Gambling Site on: June 08, 2022, 02:25:12 AM
We just had Bitcointalk Pizza bake-off contest finished and someone (I don't remember his username) made a good joke asking if anyone placed any bets on winner (that was fillippone),
but I would like to ask Cloudbet team and other betting websites if it's possible to add some special events like this for real betting in future?
I think this could be both fun and profitable at the same time, and it can be related with Bitcoin and Bitcointalk activity Wink
You are so good at fishing to give us an idea that this casino is sure to host a special event. Of course I will wait, Cloudbet how could I and the other participants miss it. As a promotional bonus of course it would be great to link it to a casino with one of the minimum wagering requirements if want to participate.
For real, This would be a great idea to implement future events such as Pizza Bake-Off contest like what the forum have done. Also, it would be a great a idea since the campaign manager, icopresss, is one of the active members on the forum who joined these events.
Hopefully, they'll be able to use events created on the forum and  implement it on their platform for future events and promotions.
1095  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What can we do to speed up Bitcoin mass adoption? on: June 05, 2022, 09:41:32 PM
The most important thing to do to speed up the Bitcoin mass adoption is to get the world to acknowledge the importance of Bitcoin and its potential to revolutionise the world.Once it is acknowledged and legalised by governments,people might automatically start buying bitcoins.

We cannot depend upon the governments to do everything to make bitcoin legal and get people's awareness about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.
If we want bitcoin to become a global currency, every one of us has to play a part in bitcoin's mass adoption and awareness. In order for us to speed up the bitcoin transactions, we can teach about bitcoin to the people in our surroundings.
Unfortunately without backing from any government of any country, it’ll be hard to legalize bitcoin and provide a massive adoption. For example are countries where they’re government has already banned bitcoin and cryptocurrency on their country. In this situation, the citizen or people has now limited actions to do towards bitcoin or crypto.
As of now, as regular citizens, our duty if we would like to contribute with bitcoin and crypto adoption is to provide and expand knowledge to those who are not literate with cryptocurrency. In that way, more and more people will be able to acknowledge cryptocurrency on their daily transactions. However, for me, government acknowledgement must be the key to a much more wider adoption.
1096  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Something Like This Happen To You on: June 05, 2022, 08:55:23 PM
It really is just a common scenario for any gamblers out there where you wanted to stop however you keep on winning. In this kind of situation, my instinct wants me to stop playing and withdraw my funds and try to play another day.

However, my actions does not meet up with my instinct, so I just continue gambling where I either win a lot more or just end up losing it all. Both scenario already happened to me, it's not much of depressing thing if I lose but it's so much fun and thrilling when you won a lot more.
1097  Economy / Economics / Re: Crypto exit strategies on: June 05, 2022, 07:55:58 PM

This is the least talked about topic in cryptospace for sure. Whenever you will ask someone when to enter there are more than hundred strategies to name but whenever someone tells you when to exit there is barely a strategy to name all you are told to do is HODL but question is until when. I feel best strategy for crypto space is to wait for next bull run and all time high and let price go 50-60% above that and now start selling in different portions with some percentage in each time sort of a dollar cost exit.
Because many people are holding as much as possible for the hope of high profits in the future. however, at some point, you need to discard some alts especially those showing decline in the market. it may be true to hold long term when you talk about btc. but for other alts, you need to think of when to discard them before you incur more losses. most alts have no chance of revival, they will continuously go down up until, they have no more value in the market.
Timing the market as to when to enter is the most common question ask since it is always hard to enter the market. Just like right now, even with the bearish market and with the dip on bitcoin, people are still hesitant to buy or enter the crypto market.

However when it comes to exiting the market, it is totally subjective to the investor instead mainly because they can either hold on their coins for long and exit when they have already gain profit or stay to further gain more profit or maybe even loss some on the long run. The volatility of the market is also the reason why it is hard to predict when to exit.

Also, since you've mentioned cut-loss or exiting on alt market due to decline on it's price where it might reach to nothing is a common scenario on crypto. However, in these cases there are some topics that are related to it as one of the main reason why an alt be rugged is due to potential attacks or even the project failing.
1098  Economy / Gambling / Re: Gambling Brand Name Vs Site Functionality? Or Both? on: June 05, 2022, 07:18:06 PM
I think this is the right way. It is possible even rebuy short and strong brand name for new casino. Of course it means, that the site functionality is about excellent and you need just additional attraction of new gamblers.
No one wants to gamble on a site with many bugs, issues and problems as it could only delay their entertainment, fun or whatever reason they gamble. It's already automatic that the casino owners will have an event, promo or bonuses to their gamblers which the goal is to attract new gamblers. You will see that many newly launched casinos that turns out to be legit and trusted have set some bonuses or events to attract. It's business after all.
Any kind of issue that will hinder user with their gambling experience will surely be a problematic concern for the casino however if they already have a great brand name and has excellent service and functionalities such as Bug bonuses like users will get paid for reporting bugs on the platform. This way you will be able to maintain a good brand name and maintain your platform smoothly.
Good service is paramount. As long as the betting site offers good service, it grows like a snowball. Positive comments and friend referrals are the most effective advertising.
A good name is hard to find. Because all domains are already taken. Deriving a name like xxxbets will suffice.
Absolutely, Quality services and functionalities will provide you a great reputation for you casino. However, I doubt many will gamble on a site with a name such as "xxxbets". Atleast find something else that has better and unique brand name to represent your company or casino.
1099  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The average joe would never accept bitcoin as means of payment due to tx fees on: June 05, 2022, 06:23:51 PM
It should be understood that the issue of taxes now is quite difficult and you need to be prepared for different options for solving problems.

Are you talking about the taxes or the transaction tx charges?

There should be no difficulty in collecting and calculating taxes when crypto is legalized. You will be taxed on the profit earned on your business and it does not matter if the mode of transactions will be crypto or fiat.
Crypto taxation might be tricky in some point as if cause some confusion on identifying transaction if it's used for business transaction or a regular transfer transaction.

Anyways, the "tx" that the OP mentioned is not the same with taxes but rather it is short for Transaction. About that, I guess I somehow agree that it will be hard for an average joe to use Bitcoin as a currency itself due to transaction delays, fee and many more. However, I think other crypto such as stable coins might be a possible as transaction fee and delays are much more lower and faster with those.
1100  Economy / Speculation / Re: It goes same way people never learn btc 30k on: June 05, 2022, 04:54:02 PM
I think there’s more down to come, if we are following the previously seen 4 year cycles. I don’t think we will close a day below $20,000 again though. I am going to wait for lower before I buy more again but that doesn’t mean buying now is a bad idea. DCA’ing here is still a good idea.
Yes, I got the OP's point, perhaps those who are who doesn't want to buy at this price is not afraid per se. Maybe they are just beginners in crypto market and doesn't know how to react with the cycle. Like the one that we are into right now, it's bearish so meaning the price of bitcoin is down and will continue to go down. So strategies like buying the dip and dollar cost average is very effective strategy in this cycle to accumulate. And perhaps once those beginners gain the experience in the next bull run that they will realized their mistakes.
A lot of beginners on the trading platform are currently afraid of investing as of now as the current market that we have right now shows a bearish trend. Dollar cost average is one of the effective strategy to look into right now to minimize lose and gain profit. Also, other than the previous cycle and pattern that can be observed from the trend on bitcoin price chart from its previous years, some factors shows that we might still see some red on the next following months.
I guess, some beginners mindsets which hinders them to invest is that they will not profit sooner as they would like to see their assets or crypto price go up in short matter of time. But still, investing right now is not a bad move if you are investing on a long term plan rather than timing the market where you might even miss a chance to invest to.
