I have been interested in sports arbitrage too and to be able to do same with Bitcoin would be some treat! I think you should consider extending the 1 day trail to a few more member, we have to be sure it is what was promised. A concern I have is that sportbooks are not at home with arbitrage betting and given that we're all here in this community, do you think the mentioned books would caresless about there odds from this moment on?

I think the worst mistake is the belief that the next bet is going to be a winning bet! That is actually one of the things that gets people hanging on, chasing their loses until they eventually go burst Another is over confidence in some betting strategies, unfortunate, there is hardly any known system or strategy that is able to beat the house at all times and most players are blind to that.

Those free money are actually carrots before donkeys (the players) and most often than not, most players end up bowing to the urge to make more and take the next step of depositing from their pockets and soon they are roped in. However an disciplined person should be able to tell themselves when to stop.

Wondering where you got that crap from?

For your information, most games are developed based on a branch of Mathematics - Applied Mathematics to be specific. For the fact that these things are designed and developed by man, they cannot be foolproof and a good background in maths can always give a player an edge to win - make some money.

However winning in gambling is something else. It means to be able to beat the house and that is hardly possible because aside from the obvious house edge, gambling sites are far well capitalized and so are able to contain most moves by players until the player eventually runs out of bankroll or hits the table limit. Other than that, a game has to be fair (not rigged) to ever stand any chance of beating it and that has always being a question begging for answer!

Ever considered that same profit margin is accomplishable by buying and selling at some strategic price levels and over a very short period of time. Buying and Hodl is actually not a strategy and  are not fail-proof either, besides it stands to impede on liquidity, when is one of the major attractions any investor would look to see before the decision to invest.

A cashless society is really not all about Bitcoin and decentralized systems and I doubt more than a handful governments would want to incorporate that in their cashless policies. It should be made bare here that going digital or cashless does not necessarily mean transparency would follow. Bitcoin was only able to accomplish that much by way of the introduction and use of the blockchain and hashing algorithm.

It should be understandable how an ICO is not a cryptocurrency and neither are they decentralized, so all that needed to be done to dislodge one, would be to identify the companies, locations and entities behind an ICO and the rest would be history. With a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin however, it is not possible to successfully stand in the way of a coin because they are decentralized and not tied to anyone country.

The only reason banning of ICOs had some toll on Bitcoin was because the tokens were denominated in Bitcoin or Ether and when the ban led to a massive or huge sell-off, if follows that excess supply would push price down.

I strongly disagree with your take and neither money nor the lack of it, is the root of all evil, because there abound poor as well as rich people that are not inclined to do evil.

Actually money is good because it essentially makes the world go round and without it life can be quite colorless. We should be able to pinpoint that the root of all evil emanates from the love and greed for money and more of it above every other thing!

You guys are totally adrift and perhaps not on this bus! where did it say that Japan is planning on adopting a cryptocurrency as main currency or where did it say J-coin is going to be decentralized or that an average Japanese cannot afford a smart phone? Most failures in exams happen because people invest their own questions instead of the one put across to them by their examiner.

After China's bluff was called, the road seems clear with no major bump in view but the November hard fork. Since it is still a while before November, I see the price of Bitcoin pushing pass the $5000 level before long and then recede to await what becomes of the hard fork.

You should see there is a huge competition already and should you take a closer look at the article, you won't miss to notice that almost every statement made there are responses to the questions Bitcoin have raised and addressing. Tell me since when did they realize that managing and moving money ought to be a right for all citizens, not just the privileged or the affluent?

Point of correction, the price of Bitcoin doesn't rise or fall uncontrollably - demand and supply does that perfectly well. Evidently the market had excess supply recently as PBoC had Chinese traders and businesses selling off their Bitcoin, so price had but to dip.
Stale news and the community have already moved on! China is only a fragment of Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency world, they erred by jumping to the conclusion that they were indispensable, of which they're not.

Japan have taken over more than 50% of daily trade volume, there is South Korea, there is Australia and a voracious global appetite, China will now have to fight to merit relevance.

Bitcoin and the entire community are better
off without those regulations as their intents are not to ensure things work seamlessly as they may want us to believe, rather it is their gambit to bring everyone under their control once more. By and large it really does not make much impact what country regulate Bitcoin or not, Bitcoin is simply beyond their territories  and it is so amazing how it is putting governments across the globe on their toes.

Interestingly, what these governments are not able to visualize is that in their bid to emasculate Bitcoin, they are ending up instead as promoters of Bitcoin, unknowingly helping to drive demand and then value up.

Ain't a surprise to see Bitcoin back on track again and this time with no fetters and jinx within view, we can rightly expect that a new ATH that clearly breaches the $5000 psychological level is in the offing. I would however want to take some profit as soon as an ATH above $5000 is made and then scout for a nice valley to jump on board again.

The value of Bitcoin is simply driven by demand and supply and no one would have thought over $4000 per Bitcoin was realizable a few years back, but here we are today with $5000 just in view. Given the exquisite and unprecedented attributes Bitcoin have brought to play in the financial sector, we can only expect that the demand for and adoption of Bitcoin would continue to soar and since price is hinged on that, then these projections are just a matter of time!

Looks like Japanese legalization of Bitcoin is making us to lose it! The fact remains that, no government would be comfortable with a currency it cannot fully control and it should be obvious that this move is only to translate Yen to digital money - J-coin, not a cryptocurrency and hence the 1:1 ratio. Bitcoin with blockchain serves as specimen or better still guinea pig. What are you guys thinking, Japanese legalization might well be a subtle move to master blockchain  so they would be able to tame it.

It's vivid enough to see why they feel the way they do! Bitcoin is not and will never be a great model for manipulating the market, a tool for making only a few, stupendously rich while many end up with huge and inexplicable debts the rest of their lives.

Seriously, no real bitcoiner needs these late comers ideas about Bitcoin, except for the ones that do not even understand their place with Bitcoin in the first place.

[/b]Exactly, it didn't affect Bitcoin market negatively because it was a distraction and unnecessary else it ought to have taken Bitcoin to the cleaners! In the same vein, Bitcoin gold is only a distraction and greed of its promoters to line up their pockets with what they were unable to do with Bitcoin. Won't be surprised if after a few years, we would have had a thousand and one Bitcoin hard forks. At any rate, Bitcoin core remains the one and only legitimate Bitcoin and would continue to wax even stronger.

If your choice of which coin is best to invest is based solely on which of them that comes cheaper, then I can say, is watch out!
If the projection of Bitcoin is anything to go by, then we are still at the threshold price, perhaps in a few years from now, some people would start to realize how cheap it would have been if they had bought now.
 
That is right, Ether as well as other altcoins are merely ridding on the wings of Bitcoin. On their own, they are yet to whether any of the storms Bitcoin have had to stand up to in its 9 years of existence, so it is presumptuous to place any of them on same pedestal as Bitcoin, instead each should be viewed on their peculiar strength. To that effect, Ether now also have some tokens built around it, so it has also become a lifeline for other coins, as such would continue to attract healthy demand.

From the tone of your your language, you're almost paranoid with Bitcoin and the people who have embraced  it, perhaps because you missed the early morning train! That's however no reason to start brewing a storm in a tea cup, because all you have allured in this thread are bunkum. You know any answer you seek about Bitcoin is right in front of you, if only you can clear your head of misconceptions and misgivings. At the end of the day, Bitcoin and cryptocurrency cannot be for everybody and if you happen to be one of those that see nothing good in Bitcoin, it's ok, just look the other way!
