141  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reasons Crypto Players Skip Casinos with KYC on: July 06, 2019, 09:24:28 PM
We all just worried about our security and skipping casinos asking our personal details is the best thing we can do that of having regrets in the future.
Giving our personal data to someone we don't know is just risking our self at all. Not to be sure that it can be at safe keep or they'll be using it to some unlawful activities. Will have this trouble might fall into us.

Yeah even regular casinos don't ask for your information aside from your payment details. I think i wouldn't mind if it's a legitimate registered casino. You can run after those types if your info gets leaked. For crypto casinos, nah. Too risky. I'm already risking my money playing. Doubling the risk wouldn't make sense. And there are a lot of crypto casinos to choose from anyway that doesn't require kyc.
142  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which is the best place to learn how to play Poker online? on: July 05, 2019, 09:31:51 PM
You can try some free basic apps from Play Store or App Store by just searching the keyword "learn Poker". There are also good pdfs explaining poker with demonstrations, Google is your friend. You can also go for advanced live poker coaching online but that will be when you are done with basics, a step at a time.
Yes, the lesson is easy to get because there is a lot of media that can be used to get what you need. But for me personally even I have never learned at the beginning about playing poker and when I have a little money to spend then there I get learning and then I just ask friends to understand it more easily.

For me though, playing it first hand is the quickest way to learn. There are a lot of free simulation and tutorial games online where you don't have to actually buy in. That's the best way to learn the basics and pick up a few techniques as well. Though it's still better to have yourself familiarized first by playing actual poker with friends.
143  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Justin Bieber VS Steve-O - UFC Fight on: July 05, 2019, 03:23:11 AM
That would be a good match both fighters can take a beating but Steve O can take much beating and I'm sure he will never give up, on one of his interviews he told that he will not tap he would rather go to sleep than to make a tap and he can prove that.

I guess this thing is helarious for both of them, because it will turn out a funny situation to watch. Lol, they're not legit ufc fighters and they're just called to have match like popular Bieber and Mr. O whose been a cast of jackass movie. Although it seems awkward to see them doing that sport, I agreed that Steve-O can handle pains instead Justin Bieber because I've seen how Mr.O endure painful stunts in their jackass shooting scenes.

Justin will not accept this invitation because he knows he’ll get badly hurt if he decides to step in the ring, besides I think this is just a publicity stunt from Steve. As you have rightly said these two are are not real UFC fighters, and I don’t think UFC management will allow them to get in the ring and spoil their sports name. I wonder who else will throw his name now to fight against Justin, it seems many people want to fight with him.

The management of UFC, of course, Dana White agreed to hold this fight actually Dana wants Cruise and if Tom doesn't step up he needs a good replacement and Steve O volunteered for this fight and Dana gets a nod check this article to prove it and it's now on Bieber's hands if he agreed to fight Steve O

https://www.tmz.com/2019/06/27/steve-o-justin-bieber-tom-cruise-ufc-fight-dana-white/

It would be great if they make it happen. Hopefully we'll see more celebrity fights afterwards.

Lol. People just want to see justin beiber clobbered. A lot of haters, this kid has Cheesy we all know beiber wouldn't stand a chance with steve o or tom cruise. And dana white will jump at anything to make money, even if it means taking a joke like this seriously. If it does happen tbough, i'll be interested to pay 😁

^^ The core team of Golden State is still intact, so I think they're still a force to reckon in the West. Maybe we can see the old Steph Curry who will lead the team again in the Finals.


I hope Russel can fill that gap GS needs without KD.

Without KD, they are struggling to win since they lessen out of the players who can shoot the ball. In the past, those three, Steph, KD and Thompson is a threat to the opponent, without KD, that will be Steph and Thompson. Steph is a great player, but not as good as KD in terms of defense and offense he can give. I just hope they can still do well. For Kobe's challenge, I hope Giannis can take that on without any pressure.

They're struggling to win because they've been used to having kd's offense bail them out most of the time. I don't doubt that they're still contenders, but losing to the underdog raptors took away any cloak of invincibility that they once had. People are now looking more to the lakers, the nets and the mavs. Just around a year ago people are expecting them to be shoo-ins for one of the finals slot. Now it's even steven.
145  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: From Janitor to Millionaire on: July 03, 2019, 09:38:52 PM
Yes, janitors are one proof of pure luck that made him a millionaire.
and it will be a good motivation and example for everyone, in his personality and patience, he really produces pure luck like a gift from God.

How many janitors we have seen becoming millionaire ? I guess very few or none in my case. If anyone is inspired by this case that gambling have changed a person life and he himself try his luck in gambling, then he must be careful not to spend more and at the same time not to be more hopeful. This is more common that you will lose your money in gambling rather than becoming millioare.

But there are many people inspired by the story then they are also keep trying to be a millionaire through gambling so pathetic to hear.

Like many other set being millionaire is not going to happen through gambling in our life other than we are extremely too much lucky, so don't have too much hope but keep trying when you care and as much as you can but not too much that you can't afford to lose money

As far as i know, a janitor's salary would hardly makeup to make ends meet if they have a family to support. Having an amount to spare for gambling everyday would already be a big chunk that could've been used for more important expenses. Hardwork makes a person succeed. Getting inspiration from a lucky gambler could lead to all sorts of problem since it's something that doesn't have any assurances.
146  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manny Pacquiao vs Keith Thurman on July 20 on: July 03, 2019, 09:31:21 AM
I doubt Floyd will face any boxer again as he declared formally that he is retired and even meet Manny for advertisement early this year in Philippines
If the price is right, Floyd will fight anyone who can help him generate millions of dollars just like what he earned from his fights with Manny and Conor. At this point, only Floyd and Pacman 2 can come close to those fights.

Lol. I personally wouldn't pay to watch two old men slug it out for the sake of them being big names in boxing. These two are way past their prime no matter what anybody say. A loss to thurman would probably make pacquiao realize that he's not the same as before and it's better to just be wise about it and retire, just like floyd.
147  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you have any strategic way in playing poker? on: July 03, 2019, 09:27:10 AM
In actual poker?i real well I think I have strategy since bluffing is usually the tactics to break opponents and reading their eyes and face reactions while playing is most important for me,but in online?no I don’t have instead I just bet and let if go till declared who’s the winner

Bluffing happens in both real and online poker as far as I know. I have no experienced in real poker game but I have many years experienced playing online poker since I was in college. Obviously, bluffing is effective to be done in real poker as we can see our opponents to predict how good the cards on their hands by looking at their eyes and body movement. Bluffing in online poker is like a big speculation move based on our own feeling and based on all the 5 cards we see on the table. It is not recommended to bluff in online poker imho especially if we have not enough balance to cover it.

A bluff is usually more effective if you're the one with the most chips or the bully. That doesn't require you to see your opponent's reaction. And long time poker players would give out wrong signals to make you think they're concerned anxious, even if they have a good hand. For me, it's a game of timing. And much of the techniques you use for poker can be very well applied when you make trades. Be patient and be composed in every situation.

The new bandwagon of the Brooklyn Nets will be alive at 2021-2022.
There are a lot of players who can prove themselves now.
Kyrie can now prove that he is not really the reason behind the change of plays of Boston or how they lose at early first round of the playoffs while without him they it until the Eastern Finals.

KD wont be playing until next year so now he is one star of the Nets and we will see if he can change the wind for Brooklyn or he is really on fault for the loss of Boston.

Kemba, is he being dragged by Hornets down? Now he will have new team mates specially Tatum which is growing his game. Can he take them to the championship again?

Here are the other signed trades already.

Al Horford @ 76ers 4 years 109m
Malcolm Brogdon @ Pacers 4 years 85m
Bojan Bogdanovic @ Jazz 4 years 73m
Julius Randle @ Knicks 3 years 63m
Terry Rozier @ Hornets 3 years 58m
Patrick Beverley 3 years 40m

Nikola Mirotic to sign in Euroleague for like 7m per year which is lower to what is expected
to be offered to him in NBA which is 45-50m for 3 years.
The good thing is, he is home.

It seems that the east is getting more and more interesting this off season. Unless kawhi signs up with the lakers and joins bron and ad. Though i'm looking more at dallas than the lakers with a core of young players close to the caliber of giannis. I guess no one's saying that the warriors are the favorites this time 😄
149  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: SUMO WRESTLING is it entertaining? on: July 03, 2019, 05:45:14 AM
I did not see any threads related to SUMO WRESTLING and I have been seeing that SUMO WRESTLING is a good sport. Every players are eager to win and the results could.be predictable unless those who had made some fights already and becoming a veteran. Yet, they too still lose.

The sports has lots of excitement especially that the players had different approach, styles, technique and ability. The better also strategy that a player will make the better chance of winning the match.

Does anyone here do like or entertain SUMO WRESTLING?
Can we integrate it to blockchain and betting platforms?

Sumo wresting is famous in Japan mostly, because it is their traditional sports, and mostly people don't know about it very well, the reason we don't know how to play it that's why you will see only few people do betting in sumo wresting on online. But yeah it is entertaining sports, whenever i see healthy wrestlers i feel enjoy.    

Not that many gamblers are actually aware that this is a sport similar conventional games like basketball and football. I really think it deserves more attention. It shows how plus sized guys can be extremely flexible and agile. Though it really doesn't have that much following especially in western countries where pro wrestling and mma takes most of the attention.

One official announcement for today is that Iguodala found a new home, Memphis Grizzlies. Have read that announcement on the facebook page named 'Dubnation'. And another surprising announcement is that they've welcomed D'Angelo Russell as their new player.

Sources on the web:
Warriors Reportedly Trade Andre Iguodala and Draft Pick to Grizzlies
Sources: GSW closing on Russell, Iguodala deals

This is needed to free up some cap space for Russell.
Lakers is silent with all of the messy trades that are happening. Anyone noticed that?

Looks like they are really aiming for Kawhi or a group of defensive players. That is all I got.

Iguodala trade was sad but we have to get over it.
Al Horford to Sixers is quite some trade. I didnt thought they will still get a big man although it might be a good strategy. Looks like they are going for big plays.

Durant at Nets. Whew. Good thing is some team still gave him some huge contract despite missing a year of game.

The lakers netting anthony davis can be a big boost in drawing other high profile players in search of a championship. I doubt if kawhi will leave toronto though. I don't see any reason why Cheesy it can only get better from here for them. And KD has already gotten what he came for when he went to goldenstate, which is to win a championship. His options were wide open after he became a free agent.

Traders always want to invest in the best currencies and trade itself for getting good profits but investment on new to the upcoming currencies will not give any assurance for the profits that's why taking the decision into a risk will little bit not important in this type of situation but everything is going proper then you can definitely got some success also
I am feeling like it’s pure marketing even if these coins are listed there won’t be much effect till community acc or the project . Till that it’s just another try to push the coins.
That's the focus of every ICO because they want to attract investors, and I know it will not affect their real product. Traders are not investing during the ICO period, they just wait for the exchange listing and yes the risk with ICO right now is very high and so many failed projects. The three ICO above is quiet not good to me, so many ICO about the infrastructure and real estate and until now they are still not working well.

Traders have always known that there are no guarantees especially for newly listed coins. ICOs nowadays have little chance of getting good following simply because all the scams and non-legit projects have tarnished the reputation of ICOs. And most of the time the listed coins take a lot of time before having actual trading values.
152  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Can you invest in ICO in bear market? on: May 22, 2019, 06:35:55 AM
I don't invest in ICO in a bear market. And I have not seen decent projects at this time.
Throughout the bear market, I tried to accumulate bitcoin and eth and trade. In my opinion it will be more profitable for me in the future.
You have a good decision, because in yesterday's market conditions we didn't see a good ICO project. there are some who get the target but after entering the market their prices fall immediately. there are no interesting ICO projects to follow in poor market conditions.

Well you can invest in icos both in a bear and bull market as long as the ico is sound and is looking to have real good use. The challenge ready is not when to invest but where to invest. It may take thorough studies and research to determine which projects are decent amd have a good chance in the market, and which projects look like a waste of time and money.
153  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Another trap for ETH? on: May 22, 2019, 06:31:47 AM
But now you can see that the ETH price has risen quite high from February, maybe this is a good thing for ETH
Good for the entire market, ETH is not the top performer of this bullish run, but since we see it rise, we are expecting ETH to even rise more.

Low this year was around 90 usd, and price already increase 100% as of this time, and though it's a significant increase already, we are ready for more as it's how the market behaves in crypto. The ATH of ETH is still high compared to its current price now, we need to surpass that to recover fully.

I don't think all time highs would have to be surpassed for us to say it's fully recovered. As of now i think ethereum is already at a good recovering stage. As you've said, not long ago it was under 90usd and people are already quick in saying that it's dead. Now those who saw that as an opportunity are up more than double their initial amounts. It's not a bull trap, it's ether making a run along with the other coins following btc's movement.
154  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: The End of Bear Market, Confirmed!! on: May 21, 2019, 06:39:35 AM
It seems as if we are in a bull run. But the market has been fluctuating since last week , i will advice all traders to trade with stop loss to avoid losing all your profit and even your capital.  Hopefully the bear market will end for good

Lol. You still think it hasn't ended yet? Bitcoin still hasn't convinced you that we're in a positive trend already and we've left the bears behind probably a month ago? I think we're alrrady in a new phase here and bitcoin is likely moving towards halfway its all time high. The way we're sustaining this upper 7k support is a good indication that the market has already turned around.
155  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Do you believe bull market is coming? on: May 21, 2019, 06:33:27 AM
Most of the people here always says that Bull Run Might Come but doesn't know when that only thing that they know is, It will come anytime so they are preparing themselves by holding some of the best coins out there. some people are holding shitcoins hoping that it will go to the moon when the bull runs comes.

The question is, how do you percieve a bull run? Is it a sustained run towards 20k like what happened in 2017? Or a quick jump of a few thousand dollars? I think some people may even consider our current move towards 8k is part of the bull run already. I don't really care about labelling this as a bull run or not but the market looks pretty good and we're surely out of the control of the bears.
156  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: How I turned $50k into $500k on: May 21, 2019, 06:29:46 AM
I like simplicity so this thread is going to be simple as that:

I've bought small and quality projects that don't give a f*ck about marketing before product and wait. That's it! Getting rich is that easy. Buy small and quality projects and wait. Patience is the most important thing.

If you are a small investor and want to be a big fish, my suggestions:

XEL (https://xel.org)
BitBay (https://bitbay.market)
SHIFT (https://www.shiftproject.com)
https://t.me/ShiftProject

Potential 10x gain. You just have to wait.


Lol. Sounds like a good plan. Not! The people who entered this thread are all expecting tips but what you gave are coins that you think may grow 10x or more. They may of they may not, it still remains to be seen and you sir, haven't grown your 50k into 500k yet. I could as well give 3 coins that i think could shoot up more than 10 times.
157  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Time to buy? on: May 21, 2019, 06:24:57 AM
the price of bitcoin drops for almost 500$  so it is better to acquire it before the moment that the price raise again so that at this moment the price is around 7900$ you will be able to gain if it will raise to around 8000$ again.

People should always grab when the price of Bitcoin is going down because surely we can profit with the sudden increase in the market and from the past week the price of Bitcoin is trading at 7000$ to 8200$. So when the price of Bitcoin goes down below 7500$ it is very good to buy.

Hmmm it seems people are learning now 😁 though i don't really think there's much difference if the price drops 500 usd. If you're good for long term, it shouldn't affect you that much. For me, it depends on what your target exit price is. If you're target is beyond  10 or 20k in 2 to 3 years, then this is a pretty decent entry point already. I think bitcoin will eventually exceed it's all time high so this is a chance for people if they want to go long term.

Mega Moolah set another record with its €18.9 million jackpot in a single spin. If you were the lucky winner of this jackpot, what will you do?

That's a lot. Though realistically, i don't think i have a chance at all lol. But if i get that  amount, i'll make sure that many people will benefit from it as well. I'm all for charity and the fact that i didn't work hard for that money would make it easier for me to spend it for others aside from myself. I could support my family up to several generations down just with that amount, with still a lot to spare. And that doesn't mean i won't make some investments so that money would probably grow more in time.
159  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What Triggers Gambling Addiction on: May 21, 2019, 04:56:46 AM
Emotion or lack of control of it . They just keeping playing at expensed of their financial health & well being

I agree, they let gambling take control over of themselves. They continue gambling even when they're almost broke because of the hope that they might be lucky and hit a jackpot when in fact the chances of winning is very low. Self control is very important in gambling because you don't have control you might lose everything.
Gambling most of the time would not be a problem to anyone as long as they have the control.
I am a gambler who also like to try my luck betting on lottery, and I never counted my loses anymore as I know when I hit the jackpot
that would certainly change my life. I know my chance, it's very low, but since it's possible to win, I will still hope that one day I will win.
Note that I am just using my spare money, money that I can lose without feeling upset or disappointment.

That's usual for lottery bettors since the amount is very minimal plus you don't spend a lot of time for it. Place a bet and then wait the nexr day. Your emotions hardly gets a chance to affect your decision making also because there aren't very many decisions to be made. For casino players, this is where the challenge is. The more time you invest in gambling, the more emotionally drawn you are to it. And the more money you'll likely spend. Trigger for addiction? It starts with your interest in gambling and your decisions that will follow it.

Most of the discussions now are with the other conference, Bucks vs Raptors. While later, Golden State Warriors and Portland Blazers will have their last match if GSW will win this.

I guess people already gave up with this conference and chose to be focused with a better and more exciting much. Okay, going to join the discussion about Giannis with his gang and Raptors. Haven't watched the game instead I reviewed it with a replay, I was impressed that it got a 2 overtimes.  Shocked
That's a very intense match.

The last 2 games of the Warriors vs Blazers series was all disappointment to the fans, they are up 15 points or more but they gave up that.
Even if they will win in game 4, most likely they will be dominated on the road in game 5, so this series will end early as what most of us predicted.

Earlier. Portland Blazers was swept by the Golden State warriors. They had 13 point lead in the 4th quarter but failed to protect it. They were scoreless for a few minutes that paved the way for GSW to catch up. Congratulations for GSW for making it into the NBA Finals, again. They deserve it.
Blazers is not a championship caliber team, they easily give up and all the last 3 games were a costly mistakes they made.
Hope they will improve next season, they should do better since they improve their experience by reaching the WCF, Nurkic should be healthy and hopefully back to normal, I'm afraid his confidence will dropped as he already experience an injury, but at least canter would make this team more solid.

Nah. You can say the same for any other team going against the warriors in the playoffs. The blazers proved a lot by just being in the wcf when not a lot of people expected them to be there. Gsw was just head and shoulders above everyone else and it's likely they'll retain the title regardess of who wins in the ecf. And they'll likely solidify the dynasty until next season.
