I always wonder why do people say "I am gambling for fun and not for the money".
This makes me wonder too why they are gambling for fun only and not with the money. There are plenty gambling sites in which you can easily play with fun money, play money or "whatever it is called" money.
Play money, trial or whatever yeah!! Whoever is gambling for fun using real money please reply and be honest.
I doubt it that someone will honestly say that they are only for the fun. |

What is your trading strategy right now?
Long term hold for my major coins = BTC, ETH, LTC. Selling those altcoins that aren't that very popular when I gain. Buy low , sell high. |

Sports betting, dice game and poker. This are the common gambling games that I used to play but I keep on trying new games that I'm not familiar with. But I do prefer to gamble with those games that are P2P. It's more fun and enjoyable because you know who are you betting with.

Any predictionist that predict bitcoin will bullish run up to 20k$ this year ?
We are all predictionist and can tell that bitcoin can go higher than $20 for this year.  Year 2017 bitcoin hits 20k$ but dramatically down at 11k$ ! Looking for advice if it is good to invest in bitcoin or nahh ?
If you're a holder, its painful but if you want to invest then what are you waiting for? waiting for the price be at $1,000? |

There's a possibility but we don't know on when it can be possible. I'm not assuming that John McAfee's prediction will be for real, he's been pumping altcoins before and we don't know if he's totally out of his mind. But if ever that happens, that is the greenest day ever in my crypto life.

Would be nice if they adjusted this based on the current value of BTC.
No adjustment needed, it has been discussed that it's fixed rate and will never be changed. It's also unfair to those members that paid the same price before but their advantage is bitcoin isn't that expensive way back then. But it has been decided that no change in the pricing. If it's been decided then I guess there's nothing we can do, but I don't think it's unfair for people that bought it before because they were comfortable with the value of BTC at the time. Yes we can't do anything with it anymore, the decision is final and before the forum is being supported through donation's but now it has ad slot so whether no one will donate the forum will continue. In that case no-one in their right mind would donate enough to have a donor status
With the high price of bitcoin now, only someone who has a lot of stored bitcoins can donate. |

I'm not facing this situation but what makes him such in a haste that he wants to gamble? Is that necessary? if he really wishes to gamble then he can go somewhere where no one recognized him to gamble. (i.e casino - physical or online) His relatives are of course scared on the same fate that he can be. How old is your friend? is he on the right age?

A pretty interesting stat that I just saw, Lebron is shooting 74% FT, if he would have shot the same percentage as MJ (84%) he would have 900 more points right now, pretty amazing in my oppinion, even though MJ got to 30k 171 games faster than Lebron, is because MJ shot the ball more, but overall, I believe Lebron is the best player of all time.
I'm not going to compare Lebron to MJ, they are both great and two of the best players of all time. No question with their performance every game and their shooting ability. The fact that they cant' be compared is because they didn't lived on the same era, we might say that if Lebron lived by the time of MJ he can beat him or vice versa. This comparison is nonsense. |

Obviously buying on support levels is very risky,
It's risky but if you are a strong believer as you've been bitcoin hitting $20,000 before there's big possibility that it can get back there so buying on level right now is a good choice. The risk I would estimate is minimum, coming from $20,000 down to $9,900 and now at $11,200? It's not a bad pick. I would try to enter around $ 9500.
That's quite late already we've been on that price and I don't think it will be back there again. |

10 players for sidebet? 5 will win and 2% of the price will be given to the escrow? 2% each player in total of 10% ? Would that be cool?
Great idea! harizen what are your moves on this since the idea came from you? Sidebet is nice and everyone can formed new gambling options out from the matches even without my permission (but you must secured the deal properly). As long as many are interested, we will soon have a sidebet options.  Great, it will be bettors against bettors and it's up to them w/ or w/o escrow but preferably to have that one. Some of the users here who showed interests to play:
boyptc
Nah, I'm not interested to play, wishing all the best to those teams and participants. |

Nice work theymos, I was redirected here by Lutpin. Maybe you can also post this update on the news tab at the top of forum page? What about rank up?
If user ranked up, do he take a new sendable merit?
Base on what I read there's no addition of Smerit when he ranks up, Lutpin explained it very well as quoted by stompix too. You have Merits, those you cannot send.
You also have sMerits, those you can only send, they have no other purpose.
When someone gives Merit to you they lose sMerit of the amount transfered and you gain Merit as well as sMerit (which in case you can send again).
Example: Should I send 10 Merit to you for a post, my sMerit would decrease by 10.
Your Merit would increase by 10 and your sMerit would increase by 5.
Merits are exclusively earned, but the sMerit part you also get keeps the circulation flowing.
(Ignoring merit sources here, for the sake of making an easy example.)

There was an update to the way how the forum ranks work, which resulted in junior members being removed, new members now go from newbie to member in one step. We'll have to adjust the campaign rules based on that and do a few changes. Everyone who wants to read up on that new merit system, here is the thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.0
The adjustments wont affect the currently running round, they'll come into play with the next payround. Will let you know more after I have discussed things in detail with lightlord. Noticed this +merit next to quote, I'll drop by there thanks for the heads up Lutpin. |

Ive been noticing this in some plays which they are too confident enough which they do let other teams scores believing that they can able to catch up the spread and as it pile up it would really be very hard to decrease the gap soon which they will able to push their plays into last 2 quarters on catching them up.This kind of behavior should really be changed because i do believe this is one of the things that do really affects them and there are really times that James play lousily as stated above.
Even getting the ball out of bounce, their moves can be noticed and well I'm late to this news today that they lost again against San Antonio Spurs. And everyone's been talking here, I mean the whole internet society is talking about Lebron's great achievement. |

The market is complete manipulation
Every market has it's own manipulation, even US stocks market. I agree that all markets have some manipulation, but crypto is like the wild west, in terms of manipulation they do not even compare It is. There will still be more regulation to come across the US and Europe, Asia have been the early movers in that regard. Hopefully Europe and US will learn from those shocks though and they won't hurt the market so much.
That's expected and it will be all over the world. And sticking to the TA of the said link those regulations can have more on positive but has negative impact. |

So it was Chinas VGJ.Thunder who won the Galaxy Battles II, they defeated Evil Geniuses. I was not able to watch live but I have loads of free tickets given to me by a friend. I heard TNC Pro was eliminated by Team Spirit and yeah its not 1 Million USD, it's 500 Thousand USD which is not bad. Low audience turn out I heard. Not sure why, is it because only a few team competed?
No, it's because Valve removed their support to this tournament and there's no DPC points for this tourney. That's why there are 8 teams that also withdrew their participation considering the prize is still high. Those top tier teams are all for the points and they have other priorities and there's a conflict of schedule. |

if they want it to go down to 4-5k it will happen I don't see this will come. The market is complete manipulation
Every market has it's own manipulation, even US stocks market. Attractive TA, I thought that it will be stable at $25k for this year but base on author's analysis, there's a chance so whenever it will reach $35,000 - $40,000 I'll start selling. |

Where is the future of Cavs when they lose that much to OKC without Kevin durant?
Still can't move on that OKC doesn't have Kevin Durant anymore? He transferred to a good team so why keep on comparing things from the past. If you'll watch the game it's more of intense scoring rather than defense. Not a fan of Cavs but if they really want to enter the NBA finals again, someone should also step up or the whole team should contribute consistently. If it was just James, nah sorry plus he's getting frustrated sometimes. They can really feel now the lost of Irving.
They are contributing consistently but look on what's happening in the end there is something that they need to change. I saw a part on this game that James move lousily. it's disappointing that the thunder didn't make it 150 points .Lol .Lebron's didn't make any significant effort as most of the time he was awful. It's more likey that in the next season Cavs will have yo total rebuild. Smith looks like he is done. Definitely the worst game that Cavs played this season despite they hot a lot bad games this season don't know exactly if LeBron is acting or he is really that tired because he looks still unhappy. And for Love he is definitely is overshadowed offensively by Isaiah presence and greed .I think Cavs should cut their losses and trade Isaiah at the summer for better option. You noticed that too? He played like it's not really going to be a big game for them. Isaiah was the highlight for this game but still they must do significant decision and start to get up from these losses. If they will not do it they might not catch up before the semi's. Aren't they too confident or they are really just having hard time to beat each of them? They do not need the next season, plenty of time this season and it's possible they will be consistent. Even if they will not end up the top seed in the east, for sure they are still the winner in the east and that is good for us bettors as we will surely get a good odds if we back cavaliers. But too much confidence can also give them disappointment, thinking that there's still enough time to catch will not push them to give their best. As I've said that Eastern conference will be tough for them, they are ranked #3 and the two teams above them isn't that easy to beat, Raptors and Celtics are doing well for this season. |

Six days ago new members have been accepted. Spreadsheet has not been updated though. When this will be done?
Thanks.
It's normal that Lutpin will include you to the spreadsheet after your 1st round and if he said that you're enrolled, you may start posting. He has his own record so he'll add you after the 2 weeks round. This happened to me when I was accepted, I'm added after the round and got paid with my posts even I can't see my name on the spreadsheet during the round. Mine is also missing. Please take at look at it He didn't even said that you're enrolled so that means you are denied. |
