Look at USA's lineup man. That was like inviting the virtuoso/masters against a bunch of random dudes. There is no doubt that USA will bring home the gold medal, but Spain could somehow play a very entertaining game against them. On the other hand, I would be rooting for France all the way, but would not bet if they go against USA but will still probably cheer for them. Too many interesting lineups. Let's see what this Olympics this year has to offer.

I do it for profit mainly nowadays, and I can say that I am not obsessed nor addicted because I don't pay too much attention to it after I locked my pick (I mainly do sports betting ). It is wrong to generalize that all gamblers are addicts lol. There are some that falls under that category, and some also that don't. If I ask you why are you gambling and answer that you're not going for profit, it's total BS.

Not all games require pure luck. Some games like poker and sports bet require you to have knowledge on the game before you get some winnings. On poker, you need to know the different hands and how to win against it, whereas in sports betting, you need to know the teams before locking a bet up.

I'm following this bet because you seem to be in a roll over your previous wins. I tried to bet on Europa League with my own analysis and H2H statistics but it seems I'm not that knowledgeable enough on these teams. Let's hope for a win and continue this nice streak.

Btw, do you have any referral to share for me to register on? Just some sort of thank you for every bet you share.

I often spend my signature campaigns on steam games, in game credits, or something cool that I found on the internet which is equal to the amount I received from my signature campaign. Sometimes, when I feel like it, I do sports betting to double or make my money grow. I rarely keep it, because I just do signature campaigns just for extra cash to buy something I want.

I would just like to add safedice on that list (not because I advertise for them, but I do use their site). The clean and simple interface is very much appealing for gamblers. Also, their dice game is provably fair. I've seen people win large amounts from them and so far, none have trouble getting their winnings.

Losing on a bet is different than losing your money on a random withdrawal. Also, dude, pics or it never happened. This is somewhat accusing the site of wrong doings, which is clearly bad for their image. Maybe, you disclosed your password to someone and they withdrawn it to an address you know nothing about.

It went down mainly because of the recent hack on Bitfinex with over $65m worth of bitcoins lost.

I'd still gamble and keep my profits in bitcoins, because I've learned a big lesson when it comes to keeping bitcoins. For the past few months, I've been buying cheap coins (probably around $200 - $300 ranges) and sold somewhere at $630 - $660 range. That's double my initial investment. I love it, and also, gambling gives me too much chills and thrill. And the opportunity is always there (you just need to know what kind of game are you going to do.)

If you want to know more things about bitcoin and somehow monetize your knowledge from it, then I think devoting more time on to something you love and (potentially) be a source of income above other things is a great idea. Though you have to take a break every now and then, just to feel that you are still a human being lol.

I've been in the scene for over 3 years now, and spent my first year lurking and just reading through articles and such. If you'd ask me, I believe in bitcoin's code 100%. The only thing I dislike is the multitude of services integrating bitcoin's name while having an insecure system which is prone or much susceptible to hacks. Whenever hacks take place, bitcoin's name is also put to shame, which honestly is not a good thing for the whole of bitcoin.

Well, just like any other exchanges claiming to be 'hacked', of course they will release a statement in a few hours on how are they going to approach the scenario. And yes, they would be charged based on their negligence in terms of security on their platform. And surely, many users who were affected by the hack would file lawsuits and complaints towards the company.

A hack like this should be very unlikely in the current times, seeing that many hacks have already took place on the previous years. They should have learned a valuable lesson in terms of security and such.

Yep, most are provably fair, but there are quite a handful of dice sites which claimed to be 'fair' bat ends up being rigged. For me, the most trusted sites to play dice with are safedice (not because I advertise them, lol), Primedice and Fortunejack.

Depends on the amount of my winnings. Most of the time, I just keep my profits until I reach a certain amount or just keep on playing my profits until I am satisfied with the results. I do cash out sometimes, but most of my winnings go to steam games or online shopping.

Well tbh. I've seen high rollers withdraw 500+ btc from that site every now and then (sometimes, they share a good 1 btc to those who are active in chat during their withdrawal). Also, based from the above conversation, you seemed to have lost your cool due to your replies. I can help you out in some way, by speaking to staffs to process or push your withdrawals and explain to them your case. Actually you can do this on your own, but without being harsh. I haven't seen them scammed a single person yet, and I think it's a policy of them to hold withdrawals if there is still a pending deposit (in this case, those dusts).

Depends on the usage mainly.  Both has its own benefits, like bitcoin can be used instantly through the internet while fiat can be used when you buy from a physical store. But honestly, I'd prefer bitcoin over fiat because fiat has its own restriction, and that is if its not under the jurisdiction of the government, you can't use it directly, whereas in bitcoin, it is globally accepted. Plus, no one controls bitcoin.

So basically, it is an exchange right? A physical exchange, integrated to a shop. It is a cool idea but I don't think many people would support the use of it due to some protecting their identity. If a physical bitcoin store would exist, it might be a hit, but an exchange? I don't think so.

Well, I experienced that "beginner's luck" too. I won 1.5 btc out of a 0.15 payout from a signature campaign (that was the now defunct betcoin.tm) on their wheel game. That was my first ever gambling run (though it lasted for only 15 miutes, hehe.) The win was great, but the withdrawal is a pain in the ass, because I have to wait for over 4 days just to claim a little 1.5 btc win on their site. :/

Obviously, yes, because you're risking some money in hopes for greater returns. It is gamble because you still choose to purchase some tickets with less chances of winning even though you know that there are others who also purchased tickets but in a higher volume (and more chances of winning, too.)

I would like to join this campaign, if possible.

I hope I get accepted. Thanks, SFR10.

Thanks for letting me know. For the mean time, I think I'll join another camp or just keep the signature while posting around the forum. Thanks. mexxer.
