This method will fail like all the Martingale methods that failed in the past. The thing is.... the +1 multiplier can quickly add up to a significant loss in a long losing streak. This will wipe out all gains from previous wins that you had with this method.

It is very true, when they say the house always wins, because the math is working against us. I can say from personal experience that I have tried most of the variants of this strategy and I have never succeeded.  Tongue
1102  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: is it possible to invest in bitcoin to build a country whose economy is down? on: August 03, 2023, 07:00:42 AM
The problem is this :

Those governments control and manipulate their local economy and their local currency. They will not want to legalize Bitcoin as legal tender, because it is a threat to their control.

So, the citizens of those countries should protect their wealth from their own governments actions and failures, by buying some bitcoins with a more stable value. (Hyper inflation kills most struggling Fiat currencies)  Roll Eyes

I do not want to sound unsympathetic, but we have always said... " Not your keys, not your coins "

DO NOT trust third parties with your Private keys, because they are juicy targets for hackers or insiders inside the company use their position to assist the hackers to steal the coins.

I hope they get it sorted for you.... and that you will get some money back in the future...  Tongue
1104  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Coinbase CEO Says SEC Told It To Delist Everything But Bitcoin: Report on: August 03, 2023, 05:34:37 AM
Now you should start asking the most important question.... How invested are the decision makers and the government in Bitcoin, if they single it out like that? Surely all Crypto currencies are the same... it is only the token and some of the "parameters" that are different, but it is mostly driven on the same principle.  Roll Eyes

They are either invested in Bitcoin or they have plans for Bitcoin in the future.... just mark my words. The SEC is just the tool.... there are higher powers behind them, controlling them like a puppet.  Roll Eyes
1105  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Mixin Safe: A Convenient and Decentralized Multisig + MPC + Timelock solution on: August 02, 2023, 06:25:45 AM
Can you find a solution to substitute "Mixin Messenger" with a more well known platform? You say you use it to create the wallet... but will Electrum not do the same thing?

It is about time that someone figure out a more user-friendly method to use Multisig and timelock features. In any way, I will monitor and follow this thread... it has potential to be one of the good solutions in the Bitcoin space.  Wink

It just needs to be more decentralized and Open-source for transparency.... preferably without revealing your private telephone number.   Tongue
1106  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do wager affect outcomes in any provably fair games on: August 02, 2023, 06:15:08 AM
No...... there are no link between previous bets and future bets... each bet are calculated on it's own.. by using the CLIENT seed and the SERVER seed and the RNG (Random Number Generator)

I also thought if you lose enough money on a specific game, then the slot or game will reward you in the future.. but that is not true. The RTP determine how much are returned to the player.. based on how the games are configured.

So when is it Stake.com's official birthday? I see the domain was first registered in 1998-07-31 ......but the site launched in 2017?  The Stake.org is still available for $170 000, if anyone is interested.  Roll Eyes

I saw someone saying in chat that it was in August of 2017, so I reckon that we are going to have a birthday bash this month? Let me be the first to congratulate them, if this is true.  Grin Grin Grin
1108  Economy / Economics / Re: What's the effect of having plenty children to the national economy of a country on: August 02, 2023, 05:49:13 AM
You can see the direct impact of over population in most of the third world countries. A lot of these countries have too many people and not enough jobs to employ enough people to sustain the families. The result.... "Poverty" ..... people live in makeshift housing and malnutrition is at the order of the day.

The low employment lead to an increase in crime and alcohol and drug misuse. The government will help with social grants to support the unemployed, but tax income are low.. so service delivery are poor and infrastructure are neglected and falling apart.
1109  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How Much Bitcoin Does MicroStrategy Own In 2023? on: August 02, 2023, 05:42:35 AM
I wonder what happened in 2022? Why did they skip a whole year... before they bought more bitcoins in 2023? The thing is, companies like this with a huge hoard are actually a threat to Bitcoin..... because they can decide to dump it all at once and it will cause a trigger affect in the market... with the price of Bitcoin taking a nose dive into the abyss.  Roll Eyes

We do not want huge whales, because we want a more even distribution of coins to millions of people... this will cause less volatility in the markets and the price.  Wink
1110  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Top 5 Things to Consider When Choosing an Online Casino on: August 01, 2023, 07:35:27 AM
I do not know if those Licensed casinos are any better than unlicensed casinos, when it comes to solving problems and grievances. The licensing authorities do not really get involved with personal conflicts between gamblers and casinos under their license.  Roll Eyes

Yes, the casinos have to adhere to certain license conditions, but that is pretty standard through out the industry. It might be slightly more advantageous to play at casinos that are licensed, but do not rely to much that these licensing authorities will mediate in any conflicts between you and the casino that you have a grievance with.  Roll Eyes
1111  Economy / Economics / Re: Russian oil and UK on: August 01, 2023, 06:55:34 AM
The Western sanctions are sabotaged with back room deals from India and China and some African countries. The markets just adapt and the Oil still flow through new channels to the UK and other countries that supposedly support the sanctions.

Russia has shown no indication that the sanctions are hurting them, because they just opened up new revenue sources through other nations. The sanctions are just a "smoke&mirror" show by Politicians to satisfy their voters, but the money and oil are still doing business like usual.  Tongue
1112  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: *** Exploring Unique Advertising Opportunities in the Gambling Sector*** on: August 01, 2023, 06:47:14 AM
Your site are basically a platform for "Free Speech" ..so I reckon the traditional advertisers might clash with some of the views and opinions that are discussed there, so you are looking for advertisers that are more open-minded... right?

Well, the Crypto currency world are full of open-minded people and also people with Libertarian goals. So your site will fit like a glove for many of these companies that share these goals.

Crypto Casinos are not 100% behind the "Freedom" goals, some just converted from the old Brick-n-mortar model to chase new revenue sources.  Roll Eyes
1113  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Certified Bitcoin Professional on: August 01, 2023, 05:59:37 AM
Well, it is nice that Andreas Antonopoulos are one of their board of Directors, because he is very knowledgeable about Bitcoin and Crypto currencies. He will not back any bogus organization that will issue doggy certificated, because he has a relative good reputation in the Crypto community.

I have been involved in a lot of recruiting for posts and we do not even consider "certificates" that are not verified by our local registering authorities. That does not mean that I will not look into this... so thank you OP for posting this.  Wink
1114  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: First Bitcoin ETF got approved in Europe? Really on: August 01, 2023, 05:50:43 AM
This isn’t anything new. Etfs are approved for many Bitcoin funds and have been for a while. Usually there is no market impact because people only care if it gets approved by the SEC.

In a couple weeks we will know because the first ARK etf is suppose to reach its deadline for its application. If it’s get approved then most likely so will the other etfs and we should finally break out of this range and head higher.

The SEC does not have any influence over European financial matters, because they are governed by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA)

In any way, it does not matter... because it was approved and it is live! The thing is ETF's are just another Fiat tool for the old schooled investors and centralized to boot.  Roll Eyes
1115  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake.com - The Leading Crypto Casino - Drake, UFC, Everton, Alfa Romeo F1 Team on: July 31, 2023, 06:15:01 AM
I have to say, I am disappointed in the Weekly of yesterday, because I leveled up in last week and the Weekly are 50% less than what it was with my previous lower VIP level. I wagered the exact amount that I wagered the week before and it was also on "Dice" ....so it is very strange that I received 50% less.

The same wager on the same game but your bonus is lower hmm obviously strange, is your overall position profit this week? I don't know if this has an impact on the weekly bonus but from the last announcement if you lose then the bonus will be higher (loseback simulation) Have you ever heard that the bonus you receive is counted as profit? try to request statistics via email and check your profit/loss status.

Stake doesn't count those wager as weekly wager requirement which is made during the weekly stream!

Exactly right, during the weekly stream all wager don't count for the following week this provision has been in effect for a long time
On the VIP/Boost page the timer has not been activated meaning all wager have not been reset besides that you can also check your total ticket this way is more effective.


Nope... email statistics showed that I was in a Loss for the Week, so they did not add the Bonus that I received as a profit. The thing is, it does show as a profit for the Fortnight and Month, so it is added in the bigger picture.  Roll Eyes

In any way, there are no platform to complain about this or to even debate it... They block the word "Weekly" in the chat to prevent people spamming the chat with complaints over the reduced rewards.

We just battle onward and hope this resolve it self..... for the next reward.  Roll Eyes
1116  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Wagering - share your opinion on: July 31, 2023, 06:01:25 AM
When you want to increase your total wager, obviously you need to play on the game that offer the lowest house edge, lowest risk and quick to play. Those criterias are fit to dice because you can gamble with 1.01x multiplier and set an auto bet, so you don't need to press the spin button by yourself.

However, I don't think it will be profitable since the bonus and VIP advantage reward is lesser than the money you lose during wager session.

This is the critical thing that most people are missing. You can have any budget, but if you put Dice on 1.01x ...it will slowly eat away at those funds, until it reaches zero.

The reward that you get back from the casino, will never be more or even match the amount that you pushed into it.. to reach the next level. I recently leveled up at Stake.com and my Weekly were 50% less... even after wagering the same amount than the Week before.  Roll Eyes
1117  Economy / Gambling / Re: CasinoX.World - online review guide on: July 31, 2023, 05:51:27 AM
Hi, first of all...Welcome to the forum.

Casino review sites are always welcome, but you are going into a very saturated and competitive business. Your main focus must be transparency and also being fair and honest.

Sites like this must work hard to gain the trust of the gambling community and not to drop the ball. One slip and your reputation is in shatters... so keep your ears on the ground and be biased in all circumstances.  Wink

Good luck with the site.
1118  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When it's all set and done, do not forget those in need. on: July 31, 2023, 05:37:10 AM
So, how is this any different than any other Commodity or any other Investment option? Example : Mr Anderson buy Gold at $1200 per ounce and 2 years later sell that Gold to Mr Sucker for $1500 per ounce. Should Mr Anderson be grateful for his smart thinking to buy at $1200, because he made a profit?

He took a risk to buy at $1200.... because the price could have dropped to $100. His profit was the reward for the risk he took... so why should he share that reward with other people? (He can give a small percentage of the profits to his favorite charity.... but it is his own decision)  Roll Eyes

You might not have been around when Bitcoin were used to make payments to WikiLeaks, when all other payment systems blocked donations to WikiLeaks. Bitcoin are censorship resistant and payments and donations are not controlled by any centralized organization or government.

Bitcoin is also a Safe haven for currencies that are suffering from hyper inflation. Several examples are countries like Zimbabwe / Cyprus / Greece etc...

Bitcoin has also opened up much cheaper and faster cross border transfers for people that want to transfer their wealth to other countries, without the huge fees that services like MoneyGram or Western Union are charging.  Wink
1120  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ADVICE]Boy Wins $46k from Sports Bet but Can't Tell Strict Religious Parents... on: July 30, 2023, 02:33:58 PM
The thing about a "Lie" is this.... it takes a while, but the truth eventually catch up to you. I think he should just withdraw the money and donate it to his church or to some good cause. He should then stop gambling to prevent such things in the future..... because he should not have to feel guilty about the money that he won through gambling.

A lot of people will continue gambling and eventually lose all of that money or they will develop a gambling addiction and then his parents will be even more disappointed.  Roll Eyes
