you should also know that sometimes research is not going to cut it. specially when it comes to investing in something so risky like a bitcoin casino. if you check their histories they all had bad times and good. bad times in the sense that they house lost and their investors lost with them.

the so called "normal" number of unconfirmed transactions are usually about 2000 to 5000, you can see the history of it here: https://blockchain.info/charts/mempool-count?timespan=60days

and it usually goes up when there is a gap in the finding of blocks, or there is an increased number of activity that day like when people are trading more (more transactions)

please clarify this for me.
is the 0.5% on all the bets or only on the bets they lose?
for example if my affiliate makes a 1BTC bet will i get paid 0.005BTC even if he wins that bet?

then what is the difference between this and a dice site like primedice which pays 10%?


i usually put it in my signature on forums and also in a blog but i have not been doing either recently because if me being a bit busy these days.

the price was fake to be fair because there really isn't enough demand for this coin to make it worth more than bitcoin! it should have came down even sooner.


what do you think other miners of other altcoins do? they all mine and dump or some of them dump on the small rises but they never hold. that is the only purpose of altcoin mining you mine and dump to make money for your other projects.

no it is not 1 in a million and actually it is a lot lower that that because you are finding a random number between 0.00 and 99.99 which is a very big range of numbers (some sites have even bigger range) and then there is house edge and also the multiplier you choose. and 30 losses in a row is rare in 2x games but it happens, for me it has happened twice before i gave up dice.

whenever there is a change these doomsaday guys come out of their hidings like quakduck! and nobody pays any attention to them any more.
but the reason why i created this topic was to spark some discussions about the reasons for these changes!


there is always a reason, even small which leads to small change or even bigger leading to a big change and the background is always some hint of manipulation.


interesting but doubt it is because of Christmas , don't people need liquidity these days for buying stuff? usually price should go down because of cash outs?!

that is exactly my thought
i would have expected this from some random guy on the forum or even some crappy news site that wants to attract some clicks but when you own a business like circle you should have the least understanding of bitcoin, this guy sounds like a newbie or maybe he is trying some FUD technique? !

open up the search and look for topics on this board and others with the same question as yours like "when is the time to buy bitcoin"

and the answer is always the same. buy now and keep holding for a couple of years to see the real reward.

you can check the times of those topics with a bitcoin price chart history and compare how much profit those people could have made only if they bought then.

don't be fooled by the name, there is no such thing called pump and dump group. there is one person or a couple of friends/partners who are pumping and the rest of the subscribers who buy like a sheep and get dumped on later.

and sometimes it is not much of a secret if you look at the charts (not always though).

i use martingale method mostly and i am never happy about the result of it. and since i always have a small bankroll on these dice sites i use, i am forced to start from the smallest bet amount which is 1 satoshi and the multiplier is usually changing from 2x to 3x most of the time.

gambling is all about this type of thrill, and when you combine that excitement with the entertainment of a sport, specially one that you love and follow then you got yourself a potent combination and nobody can deny loving.

first of all whenever you are trusting a third party platform you are taking risks, then you are giving your money to some other person on the internet which is only on that platform and without collateral so this is double risk which makes it double risky.

besides can you explain to me why that person who takes the loan are not going to default it? i mean it is for trading so lets say he took 1BTC and lost 20% of it while trading and he can easily throw away his account and never come back to finex.

correct me if i am wrong but this is not "Coin Flip" because flipping a coin means you should only have two results : heads or tails. what i see is a number between 0 and since i have seen 4 digits i am guessing 10000(9999) !

in other words what the hell is the difference between this (5% house edge) and dice (<=1% house edge)?

one thing that i do not see anyone talking about which was in the article, is the fact that article's source for bitcoin price in India is localbitcoins and we all know that prices there are user defined and always higher than real exchange prices, and i don't think many people are going to buy from localbitcoins when they can buy from some place like btc-e with $200 under the price!

well the difference is mostly in the size and the popularity of the markets. the size or you can call it marketcap or the orderbook depths are different for example you can not dump enough of a currency in forex market to push its price down a big percentage. for that you may need a couple of tens of millions of dollars.

but in altcoins you can dump and push the price down to even 90% at times with only a very small capital. that is why there are so many manipulations going on in altcoin market and so many of old traders are tired and mad these days cursing all the pump and dump groups!

how is these two the same thing?
you say it yourself Poker is all about deceit and cunning, and remember that when you play poker you are playing against a couple of other humans (a handful) and you only have to do the cunning there.

but when you are trading, you are only a fish in a sea of thousands and in bigger markets even millions of traders and lots of different things that can affect the market. so how can you use cunning in a market which is a couple of billions of dollars big?
i mean yeah you can use deceit in a shitcoin market which has a $1000 market cap but not in a real trading market.

the amount of money in buying a lottery ticket is not an issue in my opinion. i think even if it was super cheap it wouldn't have been a good idea to put money in lottery! and it is always a gamble.

the difference is that people don't usually see or think about the odds, it is like playing a dice game with a very big multiplier like 9999X becasue the chances are that slim and it is slimmer the more people join in.

there are many new things going on. like the hype of US election, the India and how bitcoin price has been going to the moon there, and some other countries starting to find out about bitcoin. these on their own may not be so significant changes but the rise were not that significant either.

and the biggest one is Segwit in my opinion which looks to be going well.


the volume coming from China is always big, so that is nothing new.

and besides people don't just wake up some day saying i got to get me some bitcoin! it happens slowly and one person at a time unless something big changes and i was looking to see if something big has changed!

it all depends on many different things for example if you are really good at one of these skill based gambling like the poker that you mentioned here, then you have a lot better result (less risk) than trading if you don't know trading.

and when i say you should be really good, i mean you should have been playing poker for years, and you should be considered an expert first and then you start having less risk.

but for regular players and regular traders the risks are the same an they are high!

i think it is best if you don't consider gambling as an investment, not even if you make money from it.
that way you can experience the fun part of gambling a lot more than the stress and the bad feeling of small loss when you are trying so hard to earn money from it.

but with that said you can start trying sports betting so that you have a better chance at having a better win
