~snip~
Well, this is something that we all know very well, the only thing is that I think that in the semifinals things got very rough, where without a doubt Argentina and France set the example, and the semifinals cannot be denied, but they were super exciting , my dream ending was that CR7 could arrive with Portugal, and having seen CR7 vs Messi, since they have received a lot of criticism, but things always happen for a reason and if everything happened like this it is because it had to have happened like that, the champion Argentina was indisputably one of the most promising, the bets were almost equal, both for Argentina and for France they were equal.

I think most of the world kinda hoped that Messi retired with the world cup trophy.

It was like a happy ending of a story, everyone loves a happy ending Smiley

And now we just need to wait four more years to see the next version of the world cup, with many more teams qualified, and in North America: Canada, USA, and Mexico will be hosting it in 2026.
Argentina is celebrating its success in winning the world cup trophy, Messi is one of the happiest figures for this success. Now he has got what he wanted all this time, the demands of the world cup trophy have been fulfilled which is the end of a beautiful story during his career with the Argentina national team. 2026 may no longer have Messi's name in the Argentina squad, but after winning the world cup trophy he had said he still wanted to play as world champion with Argentina.

I wonder why he would have said that because he already won his last worldcup and that should be a good end to his career at worldcup.
Why would he want to play the next worldcup. May be he would lose which would be a bad end to his worldcup career.
I personally think he won't play the next worldcup but continue to play the other matches.

I guess that a lot of us were expecting to see messi vs CR7 at the finals. It would be amazing and story would be written around it. I know that many of the sheiks in Qatar were also expecting that to happen and some even bet millionson that option, but unfortunately, it did not happen and Im afraid we will never have thesame chance ever again.

Well it's obvious that we won't see Messi vs Ronaldo in the worldcup ever again now since Messi is retiring from worldcup.
But may be if he still continues to play other matches then may be there might be a chance to see them competing.
We never know what the future has for us. Both are legends and it's good to watch them play at their best.

I am happy to win my bet with 38% returns.


I think the minimum bet on freebitcoin is 5k satoshi it turns out that you can bet that small, maybe I missed a lot of things about the minimum bet amount there, I never thought I would try to bet with small bets like that too because it doesn't give a pleasant profit, lol  Grin

I don't think there is any kind of minimum bet on freebitco.in and to find that out I tried placing a bet for 1 satoshi and this was the result.



So yeah, you can put a bet as low as 1 satoshi and you can get 12 satoshis right now just by rolling the faucet.
This is why I love freebitco.in because they make us eligible for betting, high-low game, WoF spin without any deposits.

People actually claim to be strong holders that can go against any situation wanting them to sell off some of their bitcoins. The strongest of holders do not just sell at the slightest economic discomfort I know, but I believe everybody has a threshold at which if the pressure surpasses them, they would break into the decision of selling some of their bitcoins to sort the present condition. What kind of situation do you think is enough to pressure you in seeling some of the bitcoins you have been holding. Is family or health challenge enough reason to?

I will sell when bitcoin is near $100k because a lot of people are waiting for that target which shows there will be a huge sell wall near that zone.
When bitcoin breaks the ATH it would be a tricky situation and a good time to sell some bitcoins only to buy back later.
Selling forever is never an option. Selling temporarily to buy back later is smart. Not selling at all is foolishness.

I wouldn't say am much of a gambler the slightest bit, for so many reasons, but what stands as a peak reason for my concern is that of security.
All thanks to the advent of online casinos which gained massive popularity during the covid-19 era. Though the concern for security online as per being hacked or being a victim of phishing sites, looms. It is agreeably more fun visiting a live casino center with physically present spin machines.
Most of the places in my locale where these games are played seem to be a hub for miscreants looking for likely victims and observing the cash flow of individuals using these spin machines. It is not too long ago we learnt of the stabbing that happened in front of a las vegas casino and the recount of the perpetrator.

In a yuletide season as this, it is always advised to be cautious of locations one frequents, especially places where we have these spin machines; it is to save cash by preventing losing too much in the games and from unplanned mishap that might befall one when in the midst of such a surrounding.

Ever had such concerns for security when visiting live casino centers?  or do other reasons prevent you from using these live casino centers? (please state it).

https://abcnews.go.com/US/stabbed-front-las-vegas-casino-victim-dead-police/story?id=91123497

It's a matter of choice because for some, gambling in a live casino is fun but for others gambling online might be more fun.
I haven't experienced a live casino yet but I guess it should be fun. But then again the ease of convenience online gambling provides is more efficient.
Coming to security, I think online gambling has more security because at the maximum one would lose his money online.
But in some cases one might also lose his life when visiting a live casino. So security is better in online casinos.

yes but in the end argentina won this year's world cup even though it's fake news even if france team played with full squad team it wouldn't be possible to win consecutive world cups i was sure this year's world cup was for argentina and they proved it though on penalties, but France almost won at the end of extra time free play in the penalty box unfortunately broken by the argentinian defender, but whatever it is congrats for the win argentina and at least I won the bet there  Wink
Why wouldn't it be possible for France to win a consecutive World Cup? They almost did it, anyway. It was a hard game for Argentina after all, as France almost reverted the score at their favour before the end of extra time. All scenarios were possible for this match and even sportsbooks were uncertain regards the favorite team. It ended that Argentina started playing better, because they put more energy on the beginning of the game, but on the second time it was France which had more energy left to dominate the field. Both coaches managed well the stamina of their players, harvesting good results for their respective teams and keeping the game unpredictable till the last minutes.

Argentina dominated the first half completely but then France came back strong in the second half. Both teams had star players and it was really difficult to decide who will win this match.

It was one of those matches, where you will never want to bet. I know those who bet on that match, they must be feeling tense the whole duration of the match as there was no one team whom we could say favorite to team and it was anyone's game.

Argentina finally prove to be better out of two and finally the won the world cup after 36 years.

Exactly. France and Argentina both teams were equally capable of winning the world cup.
Although Argentina dominated the match but for once France took the level up scoring 2 goals back to back.
Hats off to Mbappe. Only if France had focused more on shooting the goals they would have won the match.
It was a great match and a great win for Messi now that he has retired from worldcup.

I am happy to win my bet with 38% returns.

Dogecoin Price Losing the Grip as Elon Musk May Not Remain Twitter CEO for Long!

The Dogecoin price has been trading below the crucial 200-day MA since the beginning of the yearly trade. Meanwhile, the buying volume has fallen heavily. Also Today Elon Musk expressed his willingness to step down as Twitter CEO. He conducted a poll on twitter platform.


The Dogecoin price seems incredibly bearish and if Elon Musk quits as the Twitter CEO, the token may be badly impacted. Earlier Coinpedia made dogecoin price prediction for the end of 2023, as $0.158. But with current news it wants us to rethink and ask is doge coin dead?


All of this analysis for a meme coin ? I wouldn't be doing that if I were you.
Doge coin is a pump and dump coin in my perspective which has no real usecase but a large fanbase.
It has high volatility due to the large fanbase which buys it and then sells it as per Elons comments.
No wonder its dumping hard.

hearing the news lately there are several french players who will be out due to illness and i think it is argentina's chance to win the final easily if indeed there are some french squad players who cannot play in the final i bet on argentina but i respect the choice you for france, i think argentina will not let france win this world cup in a row even if they play consistently  Cheesy

If that is true then the chances for Argentina winning the finals would be higher.
I am placing my bets on Argentina not because I think France is weak but because Argentina is my favorite team.
I am an Argentina fan since childhood and I hope they win the match.
It has been confirmed that all the French players are healthy again so there is no doubt in their squad. You are right when you say France is not a weak team if they lose not because they are weak but more because their opponents played better and their strategy was more accurate.
At this point your bet looks to be profitable as Argentina are already 2-0 up but there is still second half and anything is still possible, I only need one goal again so my bet won.

That was a terrific match between Argentina and France. Both teams played really good and hence was the score of 3 - 3.
Argentina as a team played well but on the other side Mbappe was a clear scorer with his 3 goals.
But I guess France need to focus more on their delivery towards their goals and not leave all of it on Mbappe.
Still France was able to make it to penalty which is again amazing. I won my bet on Argentina and I am really happy for Messi.
1489  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's up with the need for tBTC? on: December 18, 2022, 02:26:43 PM
I run a tBTC (testnet Bitcoin) faucet, and i've publicly stated i would loan out tBTC to anybody who needs it in the past... Usually i get 2-3 messages per month requesting "random" amount of tBTC from newbies...

After I explain the collateral I estimated a couple months ago will no longer suffice because the difficulty on the testnet rose from 10M to >16M, the block reward went from <0.4 to <0.2 tBTC/block and the price per Th on miningrigrentals rose aswell since my posts about loaning out tBTC, they drop the subject never to be heared off again.

However, yesterday i received 16!!! messages asking for loads of tBTC (most of them in the ~100 tBTC range). The messages were evenly spread between bitcointalk PM's, my 2 public email addresses and my twitter inbox.

This night, 2 more messages, resulting in 18 requests in little over 24 hours...

I'm missing something here... Anybody knows some secret I don't?

I mean, electrum has released version 4... I could understand people asking for tBTC to test out the LN on testnet... But you wouldn't need 100 tBTC for this. Other than that, i'm drawing blanks...

It can be anything. May be someone is trying to scam someone which is why they are asking for 100 tBTC.
May be someone don't know they can use fractions of tBTC and hence may be asking for 100 tBTC to test something.
May be someone wants to test more number of wallets or something but even then they wouldn't require such a huge amount of tBTC.

Well lately you may all heared about the new AI chat called chatgpt which is in beta version and for free now and It's so easy to use and access. So i wanted to ask some questions about bitcoin to it and see the answer, one of my curios questions is how bitcoin price drop to 0$ and this is the AI answer :

I have heard of ChatGPT in one of the Youtube videos and did wanted to try it. It's a good to see how AI has been used here.
But one thing to note is that it will only portray things which are programmed into it. It doesn't have a sense of it's own.
Which is why we should believe on what the AI chat has to say. While it can be a fun experiment at eventually it will process information what is fed to it.

France consistently getting to the top might be a clue, I would guess Argentina has the greater impetus but that doesn't mean they achieve it.  Consistency is always where I will lean and place my bet, if I can decide which side has been the most solid in their performance and defence not just the peaks but correcting themselves during play I would have to go with them as most likely winner.

I agree with you, I have also just placed my bet on France. "Consistency" is a keyword, I do not think Argentina & Messi will be able to stop them. 2:1?

5 days left for December crypto price betting - it looks like we cannot leave the trend we are in for weeks, so I guess there will not be any bigger movement.

1492  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Accumulation phase is out!? on: December 17, 2022, 03:08:09 PM
We have entered the second year of a Bear Market. The market moment we're in has found its support at the peak of 2017's Bull market.

There are those who think that it can still go lower, but the majority agree we have reached a bottom as the selling pressure is losing momentum.


Theoretically, if Bitcoin is able to hold the support at the peak of 2017's bull run, we may see a reverse in the bearish momentum and the start of a new accumulation phase.

I say this phase has already begun. So, what do you guys have to say?



I personally think that the accumulation phase is not yet over and we still have some time left for it to be over.
I guess 6 more months we will be out of the accumulation zone including the breaking of this zone and retesting the support.
May be after that we can enter into a bull market. But we never know what the market has to bring for us.
1493  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA 2022 world cup on: December 17, 2022, 03:04:28 PM
Today, December 17, the third place match will be played between Morocco and Croatia. Morocco whatever the results of this match they have already made a history. Because this is the first time in history that an African team has advanced to the semi-finals of the World Cup. I hope Morocco wins this match and makes history once again. But both Croatia and Morocco have strong defense. My guess is that the match can go in to extra time.

This is my own prediction, I don't know if it will actually work.  But I predict that the game will be like this and croatia will win today's  for third position in the world cup 2022 . But I'm not neglecting Morocco so I put Morocco's chances at 30% Let's see how well my prediction works

Your prediction is likely to work because Croatia is a very strong team but Morocco is not very strong but they have performed very well in this year's World Cup but today there is no guarantee that they can do it with Croatia.  Because Croatia beat a strong team like Brazil in the quarter-finals to reach the semi-finals, they definitely have a better chance of winning.
but in my opinion Morocco is the team with the best play at the 2022 world cup. The combination of strategy and the teamwork of the players is extraordinary. indeed Croatia can beat Brazil but Morocco also beat great teams like Belgium, Spain and Portugal. So my prediction is 50:50, even if there is a penalty shoot-out later, Morocco will win.
Morocco is more formidable than Croatia I am predicting a win for them over Croatia, the fact that they defeated countries like Portugal and Belgium is a clear indication of their quality while Croatia only won one match in regulations time the rest were won via penalty shootout first against Japan and Brazil Morocco will also motivated to break the record of being the African country to clinch the third position in the history of World Cup as well as being the first Arabian country to do so, I am very optimistic with the quality of play displayed by the team against France will enable them to defeat Croatia

I am surprised to see Croatia having a higher odd of winning from the above screenshot.
I personally feel Morocco has played better in the last match when compared to Croatia.
Surely Croatia did good but Morocco was outstanding in their gameplay.
Their defence as well as attack showed they have the edge in the match.

There are possibly n number of ways through people can derive numbers. Mathematics is cool and mathematicians are smart.
So it doesn't really matter which method people choose to derive the numbers because in gambling it won't work for a long time.
There may be chances that a person wins a few times but in the long run he will definitely lost the bets because gambling involves luck.
Agree, I have a friend who has great at calculating derived numbers from previously dialed numbers. He even made his own code on GitHub to try how it works, some have succeeded, but some have failed. which I think is like washing time to calculate the number because the winning is the same as you choose a random number without using Mathematic. The impossible thing is if derived from a 4 or 6 number which was never corrects when he used that formula.


Ofcourse it would differ on certain occasions because even the gambling casinos would keep upgrading their algorithms so that people don't take advantage of their system.
If they keep using the same algorithm for a longer time there are chances that someone would take advantage of their system.
Also, sometimes they use a dynamic number to derive the final output number so that their winning number keeps changing depending on the probability of the dynamic number.

MATIC is a good coin to hold. Polygon has been doing some nice developments and it does look like undervalued currently because of the bear market.
It won't be a bad idea to buy some now and hold it till the next bull run but losing ETH would be a bad idea.
Most of the crypto enthusiasts prefer to hold ETH after bitcoin which is a strong reason why ETH has a potentially good growth than MATIC.

I will ask one simple question to break this myth.

Cryptocurrency is being used to radicalize youth - "by whom" ?

Who are those people that are using cryptocurrency to radicalize youth ?

Talking about bitcoin, it is decentralized and every person holding bitcoin is holding it by choice.
Nobody is forcing them to use bitcoin and in fact most of the people hold cryptocurrencies by choice.
So where does this point come from that it is being used to radicalize youth ?
Such politicians just make these statements when either they don't about it or they want to save their back from it.

1498  Economy / Gambling / Re: A way to attract new users or a misunderstanding? on: December 16, 2022, 03:39:36 PM
Is web 3 a misunderstanding word for some gambling crypto projects? I've come across few gambling / crypto projects that claimed to be a web 3.0 online casino and other but they still ask for KYC.

The definition of web 3.0 had everything to do with decentralization, block chain technology and token based economics as per what Wikipedia illustrated so why is identity/ verification integrated?

Is this just a misunderstanding of what web 3 actually is? Or it's a way to attract people/users to make them think that their platform is more advanced?.

Don't be confused between Web3 and Web 3.0  they are fundamentally different[1].  As stated by that article, "web3 is blockchain based whereas web 3.0 is semantic web which means it is a common framework that allows user to reuse and share data across different enterprises, applications, and communities."

In addition, blockchain based doesn't necessary need to be decentralized.  There are centralized blockchain so it wouldn't be a surprised if some Gambling Casino platform that claim to be web3 integrated asks for KYC.






[1] https://productcoalition.com/web3-versus-web-3-0-the-basic-concepts-and-differences-e25f7f05ca33

That is some good piece of info. I didn't knew both are different things too.
Although I still didn't get the exact difference yet but I can at least dig deeper into it to find out more details.
Also, we know how people use the buzz words like blockchain, metaverse etc... to promote their projects so may be these casinos might be doing the same thing.
We have to do our due diligence to make sure we are not falling for this marketing tactics.

The term underdogs is being used just because of the track record of every team. It doesn't mean any of the teams are terrible.
All the teams are equally capable of winning the world cup but it's just that some teams have played better which is why the other is underdog.
Croatia did a really good job was unfortunate to lose against Argentina. Morocco might face the same fate because France has been playing well.
As I said, Argentina and France might take it to the Final.

I don't fully agree with your definition of an underdog. Even if Morocco would have won all matches with 3-0 and even if France would have played very badly, Morocco would still be the underdog in the match just because of history and the intrinsic star quality of the teams.
The final will be Argentina vs France; hopefully a good game and in the end, I think France will take home the worldcup again.

Let me be more specific here when I say

The term underdogs is being used just because of the track record of every team.

It just means that the past history of these teams is not so good with respect to winning the matches.
So we both are basically saying the same thing that if we look at their history then the have been on the weaker side.
Anyway, now that the underdogs have been eliminated it's time for the finals and it would be great game between Argentina and France.
1500  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: FTX drama stressing people for no reason | How to stay neutral on: December 15, 2022, 04:20:07 PM
Recently I have been seeing a lot of people who are key crypto players for the past few years, backing away from cryptocurrency & mining. I have a few bitcoins, but I have never trusted any exchange. I have bought BTC from people only and currently, it is in my own hands [technically speaking]. I get the whole FTX issue, but if you really are into Bitcoin & crypto, then why haven't you kept your exchange wallets in check? I personally almost never used exchanges. P2P is what bitcoin is really about.

People lost millions, now many key players are backing off. No comments on that as it is a personal choice, yet spreading negativity on youtube & Twitter about the same is pointless. If you have lost something, then somewhere it is also your responsibility. FTX is responsible for cheating people, but people now making videos about why everyone should back off from crypto is not right & is spreading unnecessary chaos in the market. I am not an expert, but this is simply stupid.

There are a lot of channels[pretty big] that praised Bitcoin & mining now backslashing it & people are really getting carried away with this. Bitcoin to the market is just an emotional asset, however, there is more to it but only if people try to see it. Do not get carried away. Think wisely & use proper data.

Most of the NEWS is fake & is a decoy from the government to get people out of Bitcoin.


I think you must be an old timer because only one of those can be so calm and composed during a crisis like this.
Even I am not so stresses about the FTX collapse but I do wish that the impact of it is over soon because there is a lot of collateral damage.
The FTX collapse has awakened many people who kept their coins on an exchange. People were taking exchanges for granted which is why they are paying the price for it.
Although this shouldn't have happened but somewhere it is their mistake as well. They say "not your keys not your coins" for a reason and this is a wake up call for everyone.
