At first they said in the chat how much this amount was and didnt realize it was a win of nearly $10,000usd. ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) I guess they dont bet in xrp very much to know they are worth $0.20 each and having 50,000 of them are worth over 1 btc. ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) Yeah, that is the good part about playing with altcoins, you do not have to risk just a number that is very small, for example this is just above 1 bitcoin won, which we all know is a lot but at the same time you see a number like 50 THOUSAND and you think it can't be too much and turns out it is over 1 bitcoin won, it is both a bless and a curse because you may end up winning more than you assumed you would and at the same time you may end up losing more than you assumed you would. The play by play of the games we can gamble on is a good addition by the way, I didn't know that existed neither, I know it is nowhere near the real thing but at least for those of us don't have the ability to watch the games that part of thing "may" create some sense of excitement, I say "may" because I never tried myself.

This is still a bad poll to showcase who thinks which website is better but at least there are more votes on it now and that makes more sense. However, reality is even the most voted one is sitting around the 20ish levels right now so if any website just cared enough about this poll (they don't) they could just put all their workers and fans into the poll and can reach to 50 very easily.
When stake (the most gambled casino of the year) is not leading the way you know how much a website cares about this poll or not. Maybe a better poll could be just a ranking of how many users on average a website had for the year 2019, I know some are newer but if you made an average of user numbers of a website you will see how much it was liked by the gamblers in a much better way.

Well, you do have a good point man:D that’s why you should worry about who you’re receiving Bitcoin from, but because you received it doesn’t really make you a victim. There are lots of things one should worry about when they are making use of cryptocurrency, but I have never seen anyone have this kind of issue, so you should not worry much about it. Everyone that has committed a crime using cryptocurrency paid the price for it, I never read or heard a story that someone else suffered the consequences of another’s crime. This is one of the reasons why a lot of people want regulation and all that, but we all know that that’s not really how Bitcoin is meant to be, it’s meant to give people freedom to do whatever they like, whether good or, and sadly, bad ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) .

Lol dude, who told you that bitcoin will be over? Just a fall in price doesn’t mean it’s over. BTC is a volatile asset and if you’re expecting the price to keep going up then you’re making a mistake, the price isn’t meant to be going up forever. I understand that a lot of people wants to make lots of profit and they expect the price to be going up whenever they invest, otherwise they would say that Bitcoin is dead and then they start selling their coins.
People really needs to understand that Bitcoin is a risky investment, and being risky doesn’t mean there will be chances of making money at all times, rather there is possibility that you can lose your money instead. If you’re too scared to take the risks of Bitcoin you should go for stable coins like PAX and USDT.

the ballast of a currency is given by the social cohesion of a society. Bitcoin has no such characteristics, so it has no future. You can bet against it, you just can't assess the time horizon of your downfall.
This is first time I hear the currency ballast. I don’t travel through times and I can’t tell what the future holds for cryptocurrency, but I do know that as long as the crypto community keeps growing strong Bitcoin will not die, we can definitely say they serve that purpose. The only time Bitcoin will end for good is when the community ends, because when there is nobody making use of it, it will become useless and stop functioning. Cryptocurrency is quite different from every other type of money there is. And if it happens to end like you have said (which I know is not going to happen) there’s still nothing we can do about it than for everyone to just give up. We all understand that Bitcoin is a risky investment, so everyone should be ready for whatever that follows, and it’s one of the reasons you’re told to only save what you can afford to lose.

It is nice to hear that they delivered what they promised and nice to see proof and always a great thing when a casino actually gives a reward to someone who is a bitcointalk member because we were here to witness what happened before the bet and how the winner actually won and all the reward afterwards and now we have pictures as well.
However, the most important part of the message that some people may see as a little detail actually helped me love sportsbet even more, buwaytrees said "they're gamers and sports people just like us punters" which means he probably met with people who were regular folks and not some uptight businessmen sort of horrible wall street kinda guys who want to get rich quick, sportsbet folks sound like just some regular guys who ended up building a good business but didn't let that success go to their heads which is what you need from a good owner.

I don't get people who support the increased house edge. You can't just tell people "we have increased the house edge but we will be giving you more rewards".
You don't know if people like that or not, you don't know if people prefer less house edge and no rewards or even less house edge and still same rewards because there are places that have Christmas giveaways and races and rewards but still keep it at 1% house edge.
If we can somehow talk to person who decided to increase the house edge would be a good idea then maybe we can put some sense into him. But right now we just have a feedback about how horrible it is to increase the house edge just because there are give aways yet the only response we get is "customers love it". Well they don't, here we are as customers who used to play here and some of us even stopped since the house edge increased and telling you that no the customers don't like it but you are not willing to listen. If you are happy with the house edge and the amount of customers left on the casino and you are willing to lose the customers who will leave because of it, then so be it, we will leave and find a casino with better house edge and you will keep entertaining the customers who are willing to play on a higher house edge.

January 3rd 2020 will be the year that the world celebrates Bitcoin, I don’t really see anything that’s going to happen on that day ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) … what exactly do you expect to happen on that date? Unless there will be a lot of whales buying bitcoin that day or what? I have once read that whales are buying and stockpiling Bitcoin in their wallet, and since they are buying from the Black market it’s reflecting yet. I don’t really know if that’s the truth, but when the time comes we are going to know. But as for January 3rd? Nah, I don’t believe that anything is going to happen on that day, people are just fond of hyping unnecessary things. That day will still come and you won’t see anything happen at all.

There is going to be an increase in the price of Bitcoin. I have already seen a lot of predictions and there’s one I strongly believe, can’t remember the name the of the guy that made that prediction, seems it’s Dave or something, but he once predicted that the price of Bitcoin will fall to $3000 and that happened six months after he made that prediction (on April this year). He made another prediction that the price will be going back and he gave reasons for it. There have also been other analysts that are in support of what he has said, while some are against it.
But, I strongly believe that the price will go up in 2020 before the halving, and it will continue to go up after the halving and likely we are going to hit another ATH price. Luckily I haven’t sold any BTC I bought, I have stored them up in my wallet and hardly check it out.

Denver is not bad at all but what people don't realize that this didn't happened over night, look at the previous 5 years of that team (starting with even Nurkic) and how many amazing moves they have done, they literally sent Nurkic away to give Joker his minutes and to not have two quality big man fighting each other for a spot that could ruin the chemistry. They got better and better and better every year and last year was their first playoff one and now this year they will have more experience and they will know what to expect from these teams.
I am also very sad about my favorite team Spurs, they started horribly this season, normally whenever people say Spurs will be bad this season I would say Spurs have proved them wrong 20+ years now but this season it looks like they can be actually bad which really makes me sad.

I can sort of understand that Chelsea could beat spurs, I mean it is not impossible because Chelsea is a good team as well, maybe in the recent few years spurs have been a better team but we all know they were not playing as well as hoped this season so games like this easily can happen. City is definitely a better team than Leicester, I know Leicester is second in the league right now and everyone thinks they are now better but reality is city was focusing on champions league heavily so it was obvious for city to win.
However... how the HELL did Watford won? That must have taken out soooo many people, nobody saw that coming ever!

Maybe you should have screenshotted just the win and not the talk beforehand lol, there was a talk about lgbt that wasn't too lgbt friendly before the win and after the win it was all about the win obviously. 20 bucks for free is not a small number, it is not too big neither as well and which is why it is not getting the recognition some of the other ones (like 4+ million doge that was given-away recently) is getting but the reality is 20 bucks is 20 bucks, no one gives anyone even 1 cent for free in this day and age so 20 bucks is not bad.
Veleten is also a known name in crypto gambling world, dude has been part of many competitions and won many rewards for wagering a lot so I assume he may have won 20 bucks but may have lost a lot of money just to get there as well, he is also writing here so we could hear from him.

You got the point but it would be better to have their own app but as said it wont really be that simple and it would takes time. You've just said about mobile version which is already available on most gambling sites nowadays and yes, its quite hassle to have that entire full webpage scrolling and zooming in and out. Mintdice team is surely making up some progress on making this site way more better.
Mobile web is coming first, and then development from there can progress into an app relatively easily. So that's definitely possible, but that would be a while longer. The mobile web design that is coming out should be quite good though. Mobile app is something really liked by the people and wanted and requested as we can see here but I feel like it could never be as much used as website itself. Website is always the most used one and I prefer it that way since it is easier to play on the website. People are forgetting that not everyone have those huge Samsung or big new Iphones, I have a very old phone and even tho I can download the app and play there the screen is too small and I have fat fingers ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) . It is still something requested and there should be one just because to service those who want it but it won't suddenly change the user numbers, it won't be something like "oh we have 50 active users on average and with app we became 100" type of deal, it would be more like 50 to 60 at most if you ask me.

You can't make profits by doing this. Because BTC price goes up and down every day, if you do it this converting again and again, then your profits will be zero but the loss will have numbers. You have to be brave in trade, otherwise, you can't do well in trade.
What is converting here? Every trader who trades bitcoin against fiat, must need to buy or sell bitcoins and USD more frequently which has no differences from what you mean by "converting". If you do this randomly then definitely you will lose all your capital and if you do this carefully like selling higher than buying then you are doing the actual trading (assuming at your selling price that you are covering all your fees+some profits). Loss and profit both are common here, sometimes you may lose, but that doesn't mean you end here, rather be strong and customize the trading strategy.
Yes, even decades long experienced traders too must be booking losses time to time. But, they must be booking more profits than losses which is the reason they are able to continue their trading. To do so, you must need a strategy.

There are literally thousands of groups that are revolving around crypto idea, hell you can even join the official telegram/discord of the coins itself where you can see the higher ups of those coins (basically core team members) and talk with them about the project and get beforehand knowledge of whats going on and invest early before that happens and hope that it will help you out.
However, reality is that nothing could guarantee you a decent discussion about trading, because nobody knows whats going on or what could potentially happen. There are groups with more idiots and there are groups with smarter people but no matter which group you get into, all those people are clueless about what "will" happen in crypto since it is all made up assumptions.

I have already lost this weeks anyway, I have lost on Chelsea because I gave it to Abraham and thought he would score this game (didn't even checked if he was in the game or had any problems, that is my problem). Then I said jack for Aston villa for some reason, I mean not only that I didn't get these two games scorers right, I literally failed to guess which team would win correctly as well, I can understand Aston villa one that is expected but how the hell did Chelsea lost is beyond me. Don't get me even started on Burnley game, I mean they are literally fighting to not relegate and I managed to guess one of the few games where they scored incorrectly. Overall, I am not getting anything this week and I know it already, it is a sad thing to fail only on the first 4 games, thankfully I got Liverpool game bet and made some money on that bet but that doesn't help jackmate at all.

I was thinking this is the first season of Chase Center right? So golden state warriors executives seeing how amazing their team did in the previous seasons spent god knows how much money (just checked it was 1.4 billion but city and sponsors helped most of it) so now they are not doing any good at all, what happens to people who bought this season? I mean many people actually reserved a spot BEFORE Kevin Durant even left, now they don't have basically anyone at all.
Even if Curry and Klay eventually returns, we are talking about Draymond not being as good as he used to be as well and lack of Kevin Durant would make Golden state a playoff team, not a championship team at all. They would be good but looking at the west can we say fully healthy Warriors right now could take out clippers and lakers easily?

As we know this new year, a decade would have passed. And this time the Time magazine will be taking out most influential person of this decade list. I was thinking, we should start a petition and as Time include Satoashi's name. He was the one who started the financial revolution.
Is Satoshi Nakamoto, the name of a person? How do you even prove that its a name of a person or the name of a group of people? There is no way you can tell, it's not possible man. You're not going to put up an anonymous person on the Time's magazine and praising them as being influential when you don't even know who they are. People will expect them to put up a picture of Satoshi and all they will end up seeing is a blank page. 1. I think Times only chooses people who did something prominent in that year, so Satoshi would be already disqualified, since he was only active in 2009-2010.
The topic said the most influential person of the decade, so there is still a chance for it to land on the page. Bitcoin can as well make it to the list. It has really brought a lot of changes so it is worth it.

Now, I think the last 1 year is not good for the BTC hodlers. So, I just ask Gift of Santa Claus this Christmas for Bitcoin Hodlers?
For this year, the only thing we got is the short bull run from April when the price moved from around $3k to $13k plus. Bull run does not happen before halving (I don't know for sure, but based on what I've seen), so the price is either going to remain remain stable with a little fluctuation up and down or it will get dumped. So, I'm only expecting the price to start going up after the halving, June next year. That was the same thing that happened in last bull in 2016, the price went up a few weeks after the halving. in my opinion they are free to expect the good according to their wishes and expectations about bitcoin
There might be a bull run next year, a lot of people have been saying this for a really long time now. And I have also read news that whales are getting ready to invest huge amounts of money in bitcoins.
