Yup.  I finally got accepted, but I'm under probation though...  So I must be careful on my posts.  But I think it's a good thing overall as Bitcointalk has pretty much evolved from a message board to a commerce board somewhat.  The things we take for granted like reputation and quality posts really matters a lot around here.  I wish I maintained my post quality all throughout and increased the value of my account.  It's amazing how a simple forum could evolve like this all thanks to Bitcoin.

Maybe one day I ought to write a "Newbies Guide to Bitcointalk". 

Juventus set to sign Roma’s Miralem Pjanic for £30m after clause triggered.

So I guess that means Pogba is going out?  If yes, then I guess the big question is where is he going?  So far the most likely destination is Real Madrid.  But don't count Man United out, as they are trying to revamp their squad and might start the season going for the EPL trophy under Jose Mourinho.  So they need a player like Pogba.

MCFC and Chelsea were also said to have an interest in Pogba proposing swap deals + money with Juventus...

Where do you think he's going guys? 

From a trading standpoint, no.  It's not trending, just stay in the sidelines for now. 

There was a mini pump that started on June 8, 2016 at Poloniex but a quick dump followed two days later.  This reminds me of my penny stocking days where marketers and spammers recommend a certain stock...  Some news after comes out, followed by a short pump, then a quick dump.

I guess they make money out of the scheme and works like a charm on the newbs a lot.

Bitcoin has its own set of problems regarding scalability and blockchain bloat as well.  It is already reaching it's limit per block, shouldn't we be concerned about Counterparty inserting even more data in the blockchain?  It was already considered as spam by some people a couple of years ago, and that was before smart contracts.  What more now?

Define best.  You know it's really hard to find what the 'best' gambling site is for someone if you don't know what that person is into.  Some people like betting on sports, some love to play poker, while others like dice games or casino games...  It really depends on what you're into.  But for a person who just wants to pass the time and wants to gamble, I suggest playing slot machines.

Pogba is going to Real according to reports.  And those in the know in Spain and Italy are considering it a done deal and it's only a matter of time before they officially announce it.

I don't think so.  Aguero needs the back up if they intend to win the EPL and the CL.  And we know they want that CL trophy really bad.  Relying solely on Aguero will be a step backward for City.  Plus the competiton between them in training will make them better players.  If you have only Aguero as the star forward, this usually results in that player becoming stale and mediocre.  So signing Lewondoski or another good forward is a good idea. 

Maybe this guy could fit in with City as well...

That's true.  There are players from La Liga that did well when they switched to the EPL.  But that doesn't mean that the EPL isn't tougher than La Liga.  The EPL is the toughest league in Europe, especially this coming season where there are more good managers at good clubs.  In La Liga, there only two clubs fighting for  trophy, well now 3 with the recent emergence of Atletico.  But historically, in La Liga there's only Barca and Real.

In the EPL on the other hand, big clubs like Man United or Chelsea can lose on any given match vs smaller clubs like Stoke or Southampton.  The league is really unpredictable, especially now that Tottenham and Liverpool are showing signs that they want to be in that top 4 too.  Also Leicester showed us that anything is possible in the EPL.

As for Falcao and Di Maria.  Falcao had a bum knee, I don't know why LVG signed him on loan.  That was a stupid move.  As for Di Maria, he just flopped.  You can say that he didn't gel well with the team, or maybe LVG just didn't use him strategically well enough.  But bottom line, and using the matches he played as evidence, he obviously didn't adjust well in the EPL.  I'm not saying this happens with all La Liga players, but it happens to many of them.  The defense in the EPL are bigger, tougher, pacier and more physical than what they're used to in La Liga.

Thanks!  I really appreciate it. 

He could be another disappointment like Di Maria, but that only has a tiny bit of chance of happening.  Bale has EPL experience and was doing an excellent job with Tottenham before he moved to La Liga.  IMO a player moving from La Liga to the EPL will have a much difficult time adjusting, maybe due to the weather, the tougher competition and various other reasons.  In La Liga on the other hand, it is a much easier league to adjust in for a player as there are only two clubs competing for the title year in and year out (ok 3 with the emergence of Atletico).  

So Bale going to La Liga did have some adjustments on his part, but nothing he cannot handle.  Di Maria to EPL had a much harder time adjusting, and it didn't help that their manager is LVG too.

Edit:  Oh, and may I add that Bale to Man United would make a good signing from a club standpoint.  Remember MCFC has Pep Guardiola and who knows who his big signing will be (I think Lewandoski).  So to attract the crowd, get the press talking and to go for glory, sign Bale.  They have the money, and the cannot afford to have another mediocre season.

But remember, they professional poker players and not developers.  So it's not a guarantee that the project will be a total success.  Maybe some of them have good business acumen, but they are gambling degenerates mostly.  Check their history on prop bets and you'll be surprised.

Having said that, why not post who the developers they're working with are and their credentials in and out of crypto.  Although some experience with working as a dev in a legit crypto project should be a must.

I think Thompson could outstrike Rory since he's a 57 - 0 kickboxer.  So I can see there some value in betting a Thompson win via 1st round KO, maybe starting at +450...?

But then again if it goes to the distance, there could be value on Rory winning via decision starting at +275. 

What do you guys think?  At first impression in looking for value lines, that's what I would look for mostly in this fight.

Sometimes it's unavoidable and one sentence is enough to get your point across.  A lot of times, people's posts have the feel that they are trying too hard because they are in a campaign.  Some of them are long but written in broken English.  Where's the quality in that?  

Edit:  Happy to say that I might get accepted in Betcoin's signature campaign.  I'm still waiting for the campaign manager's reply via PM.  But I started wearing the avatar and sig anyway.  Crossing my fingers...

In my opinion, the safest choice is to add Litecoin if they decided to add another cryptocurrency.  LTC has good volume and liquidity across the board in 4 - 5 exchanges, so there's no problem there in selling LTC.  Its price vs fiat is also somewhat predictable and almost follows that of BTC, and that's a good thing.  So almost no hedging required just to prevent losses when the market for crypto becomes really active.  All you have to worry about are prices in fiat.

I see some people are suggesting ETH.  The volume and liquidity are good, but I think it's way too early for sites to accept it.  I say wait for a year or two and see what happens.

The martingale strategy is the quickest way to lose all your money when gambling.  He should be doing the reverse.  The more and more he loses, his bets should be getting smaller and smaller.  And as he wins, bets should be getting bigger.  To become a consistent winner is to keep your losses small and your winners big.  Your losses will be more compared to your wins, but snce you're only losing small, your big wins will make up for them.

Hi Ros,

Read your message and sent you a reply.  Thanks.  

Hello, I have improved the quality of my posts when I was accepted at Bitbuku's signature campaign.  Unfortunately, the owner decided to close the campaign after one week because he is planning on selling the site.

Please reconsider.  Thank you so much.

So Waves Platform is going to be like Ripple?  Will it also have a built in exchange with Waves (the coin/token) usable as a bridge currency for easy currency conversion?

If so, then I think the Waves platform will be very interesting.

If you seriously think you have a gambling problem, you have to come out and tell your family and your closest friends.  They can help you and give you support.  Also, attend Gambler's Anonymous meetings if you have one in your town.
