anyone know the house edge of the stake Blackjack? the unlimited decks is so weird, seems silly to me to not just make it 4 or 8 decks
What do you mean by "the stake Blackjack" precisely? You are talking about the provably fair blackjack game belonging to the Stake Originals games or the Stake exclusive live tables at Evolution?
The Stake home game has a 0.57% house edge according to them and the decks are unlimited (they are virtual), it means the same card can be theoretically drawn endless times in a row. Stake exclusive tables at Evolution take a 0.71% house edge but the decks are real and not unlimited (Cool, you can't double on a split unlike the Stake Original game though.
I never truly understood the same card in a deck logic in online games. I get that you want to prevent counting cards, and that's understandable, but at the very least you could just make sure that each hand is one deck, and then next hand is another deck, that way you would not be removing any cards for the future but you would also not get the same card on the same hand.

It would be very weird to get ace of spade twice, and then dealer has it too, and maybe the guy next to you has it too etc, that's weird, you double down and you get another one, like there is 5-6 on the table and it's all the same. Does that really fell alright? Just have one deck for one hand, another for another hand and that way nobody can count cards.
1262  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: December 04, 2022, 08:25:22 PM
I want to ask, what do you think. which new coach is suitable for Chelsea, who was able to bring Cheslea to win the Premier League trophy as well as the Champions League in his first season as a coach, with the players available, plus several injuries, and others underperformed.
note : Potter comes with available players, he cannot add new players. this is a heavy responsibility, maybe that's why Zidane was not interested in becoming the new Chelsea manager after being left by Thomas Tuchel due to the heavy demands of the big Chelsea boss.

So far, Potter is trying to maximize his troops. although the experiment did not go according to plan. however, at least after this world cup break. he can have time to find the right formula for his army later before all Leagues are rolled out again.
note: when Thomas Tuchel was in his first season, Chelsea was in excellent form. he didn't face any serious obstacles, he just needed the implementation of a good strategy, so he was successful in his first season with Chelsea.

Chelsea still has hopes and opportunities in the Domestic League, at least in the top four standings until the end of this season. for the Champions League, at least Chelsea has more chance than Dortmund. the rest, let time answer it.
I would guess that Potter is not the guy, but also nobody brought Chelsea a premier league title so far, it has been years since they won the title, many years, they just won UCL and that is also an amazing thing, between merch sales, the ticket sales, the income from all the way going to finals alone itself, then winning, these were all a lot of money and maybe they are not even spending too much of owners money but what they have in the treasury, and of course some of owners.

I have to say Potter is not a big name manager, so he is not going to be easily doing great, because it's hard to go up a level like that and find success right away.
1263  Economy / Economics / Re: How much longer until paper money is no longer in circulation? on: December 04, 2022, 04:03:54 PM
However, having CBDCs is still a good option, not for the aim to replace paper money, but for the people to give them an option to where they feel more convenient to use.
If I had to choose between paper money and CBDC, I would still prefer paper money. Although CBDC will make it more convenient and easier for us to store, what I find most frustrating about CBDC is that we have almost no privacy when using CBDC. The government tracks every transaction, even I buy a cup of coffee is tracked, every time I think about it, it makes me angry. If we use paper money, there is still a small amount of privacy.
I would too, plus paper money is still used in many places and there is no alternative, like in cabs you still use paper money, or when you are buying stuff in bazaars (which is a big thing in some nations) those are all places you use cash. On the other hand CBDC is nothing but the money in your bank account or BUSD, these two already cover the difference so there is no need for it.

There needs to be something better offered to make us want to go to CBDC route, otherwise there is absolutely no need for them and paper money and digital banks could handle the rest. Obviously, there is also a chance governments could "ban" stablecoins, which could create a trouble, lets wait and see if they would do that.
1264  Economy / Economics / Re: Twitter Crypto head and staff resigns on: December 03, 2022, 09:06:03 PM
Depends on the job they were doing. You are talking about a senior developer responsible for a big feature to be implemented? You can fire him all you want, he will walk out the door, pick up his phone and get another job in 15 minutes. You are talking about a junior marketing design guy?

I can bet you that it will take a long time for that person to find a job, even with twitter on their resume because designers are dime a bunch and many smaller places uses freelancer and the big ones have enough of them to hire from the top of the line. Hence, just because you worked at twitter doesn't mean that you will be working at a great place all the time.
1265  Economy / Economics / Re: SEC plans on making crypto initiative top priority as plot for new regulation!!! on: December 03, 2022, 06:15:10 PM
As far as i know there are no strategic plans the U.S will set up that will not involve consistent modification of regulations that will make investing in Bitcoin and crypto generally worth considering. Making stricter rules with claims to protect investors above other priorities.
If you want to protect the investors, first start with firing the bank and hedge fund managers that caused so much loss for the people in stock investments; yeah, people lost their entire savings and life on stock market for the past 100 years and yet they are not getting regulation that crypto is getting. 

Just to even focus on the 2008 crisis, there were a lot of people who should have been jailed for losing that much money, 800+ billion dollars of regular investors money, and none of them were, in fact they were given extra bonus that year for buying things at cheap. So all in all, I have to say crypto should be left alone as much as stock market does.
1266  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Binance Coin losing its Value, What will happen to Public Funds on: December 03, 2022, 06:09:52 AM
Becoming a king is a very difficult thing for BNB even though the coin is fully supported by the exchange itself and also by several other exchanges, but it is still not enough for BNB to become king because BNB has to beat Bitcoin which clearly looks difficult because CZ himself also still really likes Bitcoin besides having to keep developing BNB continuously in a better direction.

And the price drop on BNB isn't necessarily due to an exchange war like you said, because Binance isn't at war with anyone but just trying to improve itself to be better than other exchanges. So the decline in the BNB price was due to the influence of market conditions that were still bad and also the influence of investors and traders who had not invested or purchased in large quantities because they still remembered that the bad conditions in the crypto space had not improved.
Bitcoin being so great is the thing that stays in the way of BNB becoming the king. It is not because BNB is bad, it is actually doing great compared to what the OP has said, it is clear that we are doing fine and it will keep doing fine as long as Binance does fine and I believe that Binance will keep on doing fine for a long time.

At the end of the day, it is not going to be that much of a big deal for bnb to grow, but while it does that, btc will grow with it and will keep its position. This isn't bad for us though, it means you could invest into bnb alone, or btc alone, or you could invest into both of them together and in anyway you would be making a profit.
1267  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: So many good news but Market and coins don't go up on: December 02, 2022, 11:58:10 AM
try to get out of the news. because the market will not be affected by any news, unless it is dominated by bitcoin prices increasing every bullish comes and all coins or altcoins will also increase in price.

So in conclusion, don't expect an increase in crypto prices from other people's tweets or tweets by artists when the bearishness is still going on. it's not going to change the market for the better.
Market is fully controlled by the news, any bankruptcy, any tweet, any regulation could make sure that the price changes right away. Hell we sell or buy based on if Elon tweets something, it's that simple to change the whole market. Does Elon himself change it? Of course not, it is the people who buy or sell based on what he says, so it is still the people, so the same people could make it go up right now, without news or tweets, and yet they don't and wait for that to happen.

So, it is clear that people look for whatever is going on before they end up with a big rush to crypto to do anything. News is the thing that decides on the price, and that will stay the way it is for a long time.
1268  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why does everyone want to trade? on: December 02, 2022, 09:21:23 AM
Those who think that trading is very easy and that anyone can make money by trading in a new platform, those who do it, this is not a wrong idea. If you want to make a profit by trading, you must have an idea about the trap and keep an eye on the market when the price of a coin increases.  You have to keep an eye on it and trade after that. I think trading is not as easy as people think.
Most people think it's a trivial thing, but if you don't have the experience that comes from those mistakes it will be difficult for anyone to thrive in trading. The basic thing that needs to be done is to learn about trading wisely, you don't need to make hasty decisions and you have to know the latest information about the coin being traded, these are absolute things that a beginner should have in trading.
I do agree that it takes time for people to build some experience with those mistakes, sometimes making it just once doesn't really give you the whole thing, so you need to end up with a bit more, and that's a bit more understandable.

I know that it is not going to be easy for people to just focus on how they could make a profit when there are losses everywhere, but you should not make the same mistake more than like 3 times. That would be the most amounts that is acceptable, after which point you should be capable of saying "ah! that's the problem, alright." and move on. If you can't do it, then get help, ask people what's wrong and learn about it.
1269  Economy / Speculation / Re: My advice to you regarding bear markets. on: December 02, 2022, 06:38:42 AM
I think that if Satoshi really was real or alive, as there is a high probability that he would be Hal Feeney, we would probably notice some movement of these huge sums. But that hasn't happened for a very long time. Accordingly, I personally think that these bitcoins are lost forever and can be ignored in the total issue. As for risk, any financial investment carries risk. Of course, cryptocurrencies are an increased risk, but now it is minimal.
That is exactly what I believe as well. He was one of the leading people and somehow the first one to connect with satoshi as well, making it a bit suspicious.

It could very well mean that he is not him because the first person would be too obvious so it would be like "why would he show himself as teh first person" at first, but then at the same time it is genius because it also shows that we wouldn't think he would be the one for the same reason and that could be a problem that we are having. I believe he was satoshi, or at the very least if satoshi was a group, he was the first one to oust himself while stay hidden, and unfortunately we will never know.
1270  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Brazil Has Approved Bill Recognizing Bitcoin As a Payment Method. on: December 01, 2022, 03:04:33 PM
Looking at statistics, more people or individuals are interested in investing in bitcoin. Most people are comparing bitcoin and fiat, and Latin American Brazil, to be specific, accepting bitcoin as a payment method is actually a good one, it will also help the market, and other countries' law markers should consider it, as well. Bitcoin is gaining more traction since El Salvador made a disclosure that buying bitcoin every day will bring so many countries to have interest in investing in it. Looking at this new one was a good one and am seeing more coming.
The point of these "smaller" nations accepting it is the fact that it gives the citizens of those nations a chance to actually make some real money, and that money comes from richer nations into these nations and those citizens spend it in their own nations.

Like for example a web developer in the USA may charge you $5000 for a good website, whereas a Brazilian would charge $500, I detest the idea that Brazilian web developer will always be worse, sure there are some great developers in the USA, some great in Brazil, some terrible in the USA, some terrible in Brazil, so that means people will pay the Brazil a lot more frequently and that money will be spent to pay his bills, food, rent and so forth.
1271  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why everybody is panicking ? Its a game of greed and fear ! on: December 01, 2022, 01:18:03 AM
Not panicking and being greedy in trading can only be done by a trader if he has gone through a lot of trading activities because he should be mature in thought and when he is about to make a decision, but this is really not easy to be calm when the price of BTC has decreased alot, mostly traders not only trade on the BTC-USD pair but also altcoins and seeing a decline in altcoins can trigger traders to panic but traders who only trade on BTC will understand the cycle well
But it's not entirely true, trading on BTC will also have the risk of unexpected declines, especially if trading Futures, it will be riskier. Trading for altcoins also depends on how bitcoin prices are going and only a few altcoins have fallen drastically due to internal issues such as LUNA.
Many factors can trigger panic, but panic can also be overcome by trading habits and knowing what to do when things are not good. and the problem of all traders even if they are professionals is uncontrollable greed.
I do agree that there is a risk involved when you are trading in futures, but if you move to spot then you wouldn't have that much trading problems. It has a lot less risks, and moves usually within 10-20% ranges when it goes down and that should be easily recoverable in the long distance.

I know that it is not going to be that much of a trouble for many people in the long run, but I feel like that would be just a problem for you if you do futures anyway, so it's fine. Spot trading is great because of this reason, could be for bitcoin, could be for alts, could be for anything you want and you can still do it. I personally love it so much and has done good for me.
1272  Economy / Speculation / Re: I think that we will see 13500 Dollars In 2022 on: November 30, 2022, 09:50:31 PM
Many said the same thing about 20k, that if bitcoin fell to those values there would be many people willing to buy, but that didn't happen, and if it did, many were disappointed. It seems to me that if bitcoin falls below 15k, there will not be a lot of buying, especially since there is not much left to 15k.
I feel like it did happen, there were just too many that sold at the same time. Just because price did went under 20k doesn't mean that people didn't buy at 20k, there were soooo many people who bought between 18k and 21k, because that was the range we stayed for too long, for months we stayed there and that resulted with the fact that many ended up buying there.

Obviously that's not going to be the case when it drops even further, because there would be even more buyers now, the lower it goes the more people buy and that is going to be amazing. I know it's not going to be simple, but it could very well be something nice for everyone involved if they just bought at low prices like this.
1273  Economy / Economics / Re: The world’s baby shortfall is so bad that the labor shortage will last for years on: November 30, 2022, 02:46:02 PM
Slave system is not really "gone" if you ask me. I am gladfully out of the regular 9-5 work life, I live a great life. But, I see my friends and my friends are living a life that is bound by shackles of our economic system.

If you want to quit your job, which many still do, you have to face starvation and bankruptcy if you fail to find a job. That is why it's clear that we shouldn't really be focusing on doing anything crazy like quitting without finding a job but still some do. Others, people who are afraid that they can't find a job, ends up with a trouble such as working at a job they hate and spending 1/3 of their life just so they can survive.
The amazing beauty of crypto comes alive with this topic. "Slave" idea is still there just like you said, but you and I and many here avoided that slave pit by being in the crypto world. I work in the crypto world, and many people are finding personal success here as well even if not work. That means we can avoid it.

Truth is, too many people around us living in horrible conditions, for cheap labour, and have health problems and also not even make enough for it, whereas we sit on our chair, in front of our PC and make a great income. The baby shortfall will definitely cause trouble eventually, but that doesn't mean that it would really make sense to keep growing neither.
1274  Economy / Speculation / Re: How fast will Bitcoin fall down? on: November 30, 2022, 12:03:52 PM
Bitcoin can fall fast or slow. You can look at the history of bitcoin to find out how fast or slow it fell and then rose again. We have seen several blockchains emerge besides bitcoin but bitcoin remains the leader in crypto. And it doesn't affect the movement of bitcoin in increasing its price because bitcoin stands alone.

And right now, the bitcoin price is still below, so you can still buy at the current price. After the fall of bitcoin to its current price, it will end soon and at that time, we will see whether bitcoin will increase quickly or slowly.
The speed is not really the important case most of the time, how far is the point. How far will it go down and how far will it go up is the key factor, because if you know the point it will stop then you will make a lot more profit. That doesn't change the fact that it will change too much, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble for people if they just calculate the pace but fail to calculate the point it will stop.

Like let's say you knew that it would go from 16k levels to 30k levels in a month, and after a month it really did reach 30k, you were right and that's great, so you sell, but then after another month it went to 40k, so you failed to know how far, and you just lost a chance to make more profit.

I know it is really hard for you, but you have no choice, so you need to fight. If you lose hope now, it will be difficult to stand up. Try to relax at this time, don't overthink it but still make your best effort to have solutions to the problem, and go to your friends and other relatives to ask for help since this is the time you need them. I know you can't sleep easily now, but trust me, you need to relax and think of some good ideas. This happened to me twice before I was laid off, but I asked for help from my relatives, who helped me, and I am now back at work. 
That is the inevitable road to success basically. Sometimes we all have horrible times in our lives, sometimes it's about finances, sometimes it's about health, sometimes it is even about death of loved ones and we go into a sadness pit. However, since we are alive, that means life will eventually get better, with time all gets better if we want to.

If it is about finances, you may have a horrible year, but then you could keep on grinding and working really hard, and then you can get out of that trouble eventually, maybe it will take time, but many people managed to do it, so can you. That is why we need time to be our ally, not our enemy to keep growing.
1276  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC, more closer bullish days ahead. on: November 29, 2022, 08:16:21 PM
everythings looks perfect right now. I think this was necessary to get rid of those moon boy and scam project that was already creating liquidity gap for their mismanagement of uses funds. There are few more centralized entity that should be washed up for the greater good of BTC and decentralization. I am certain that we will get a better price action in BTC if those institutions back off.
From the buyers end, it really looks perfect right now because buyers will be able to buy Bitcoin at a discounted price.  But for those who had bought Bitcoin during the peak, it isn't looking good.  
I think that's one beauty of this market, you can buy at a discounted, but there are those who get it on top. And so for those who bought at the top or at least $20k+ will learn how to become patience. The same with those who purchase it at cheap, they should wait for the right time to sell to get bigger profits. Just don't be greedy and we are all set to go next bull run.
I would guess that having anything 10x or more is enough, people should always learn that. If you bought right now, and the price goes above 150k, then put a stop loss order at 150k and just get out. That means even if the price reaches 300k, you could always have a good way of getting out, just keep increasing it 10k by 10k when it goes up with 25k+ difference.

This means, the moment price reaches 150k you put stop loss there, then when it reaches 185k you put it on 160k and when it reaches 195k you put it at 170k and so forth and so forth. That is how you make sure that you are always in profit and you are never too greedy so you can't lose all of your money at all.
1277  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers on: November 29, 2022, 03:46:22 PM
Belgium can no longer play like they used to play. Their defeat to Morocco was another reminder that the generation of players that reached the semi-finals of the World Cup four years ago are nearing the end of the road. They were disjointed going forward, with Batshuayi and Lukaku ineffective in attack  and no inspiration from the midfield or the defense. I don’t know what is going to happen for qualify to the next round but if Morocco get a draw against Canada, and if Belgium cannot defeat Croatia, then they’ll have to kiss the tournament Goodbye.
Unfortunately the "golden generation" type of thing turned out to be not so golden after all. Belgium is good and all in the football world they have a place but that doesn't mean that they are that great anymore, they are showing signs of regression and I am expecting that they will probably stay like this for a while longer.

They need a better generation that is controlled or managed by a better coach as well. So far they have tried their best with this De Bruyne Lukaku generation but unfortunately nothing came out of it. I am not saying they should go for a world cup title, but at least not be as bad as losing to Morocco, they need to be a lot better.
1278  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Looking for the Next Great 1000x on: November 29, 2022, 06:08:02 AM
In this case I think the best advice is to always be one of the early birds when investing in any projects, nothing beats getting your tokens at a very cheap price and wait for a better pump.

1000x is not something that happens everything so it makes no sense hunting for one, those who invested in Shiba Inu at early stage wasn't expecting that incredible gains, belief me.
It is important to remember that not every new project can grow, in 2021 we will have thousands of projects, and only Shiba will be able to do that. It can be said that there will still be projects that can bring profit x1000 but finding it is not easy. In my opinion now is not the time to start hunting for those hidden gems but we should wait for the signs of bull season to make them easier to find.
I still think that Shiba can't do it but that is the great thing about crypto, if I believe that Shiba will not go up, then I will simply just not use it and not really buy anything. However, if I believe that Shiba will fail and not make any money at all, then I do not have to worry about that and not buy it and move on, don't care what others do with it.

If you believe that Shiba may grow huge, then you can use that and buy a lot of it and hope for the best, and not care what people like me say. I did that with bitcoin, back when most of the people on the world didn't trust it, I bought it, and it changed my life, so go with what you believe but do not spend more than you can afford to lose.
1279  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: November 28, 2022, 08:21:52 PM
Arsenal is not the same Arsenal you used to know in last season.  If you are following Arsenal up this season  you are suppose to know who Arsenal is now. Arsenal are leading the in the premier league and still doing well in the Europa league.  If they are to be in the Champions league they would have been among top teams .
Arsenal have a bigger chance of being in the Champions League next season, because if Arsenal can manage to be in a good position and win the Premier League, then Arsenal will immediately be in the Champions League next season, as well as if Arsenal manage to win the European League. this season, Arsenal can directly be in the Champions League next season.
I feel like even if they are not champions, it is nearly 100% certain that they will be in the top 4, which means that UCL door is wide open for them. Obviously they will not even finish 4th if you ask me, and probably not even third unless they suddenly start to suck, they will either be champions this year which would be entertaining to see, or they will be second behind City, that is the two possible outcomes if you ask me.

That means they need to get ready for UCL next year and it will not be easy, it will certainly be a tough year and I am guessing that they are going to have some hard time because UCL requires a lot of experience in that kind of tournament.
1280  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: November 27, 2022, 08:22:02 PM
Arsenal didn’t finished good finished last season. They have been outed of top 4.But this they are still staying number one in EPL point table. Arsenal have good signed player like Jesus,Saka both are great player i think for Arsenal. I think Arsenal can beat any tean In ELL this season. But they need to more focus on their game and they need to more improving team combination.
If you ask me that was a "good" finish for them considering how terrible they started. I agree that they finished very well and then they kept that up and doing great now, saw the problems in the team and then added players there for good measure and doing very well so far.

It's clear that they weren't champions, nor in top 4, but they were really giving the whole league a trouble by the second half of the season, and this season they have been doing very well and consistently as well. I can't say if they will keep this up or not, but would you rather be an Arsenal fan or a Liverpool fan this year? And was the answer the same for the past 5 years? That means they are growing and becoming better.
