1561  Economy / Gambling / Re: Do activities of an escrow apply to gambling on: February 10, 2019, 01:57:26 PM
If one wants to stake a bet with bitcoin or cryptocurrency with an individual offline is the service of an escrow employable or do escrow services avoid getting involved in gambling.
What are the best escrow services for this
Escrows has nothing to do or not being affected on all the possible transactions that he would handled as long he hold up the funds with both parties and as long he would got paid for his service.

It is plausible to apply it offline but the question is, on how you would find out those people on your place?- trusting someone wont really be that easy.
Well said, escrow service will be depend on how both parties agrees and if the service will be paid correctly, not sure if I'm missing something with OP
maybe he also meant about not betting with game house but person to persons gambling, that's why he ask for escrow, but given that he meant
offline which maybe meant for someone from his place, he needed to have reputable person who resides near him.

If both parties agree and the the escrow who they trust hold the pot money, everything will be done according to what they've wanted to be.

Fud news is only affected beginners with little knowledge, for the one that already got experienced,we know what is capability of Bitcoin, for now many countries still hesitate to adopt Bitcoin but most of us already can feel the usage of Bitcoin,once it is adopting by a lot of countries you will regret not to invest Bitcoin earlier, if we check the transactions volume we can see that a lot of people still like to invest in Bitcoin,so it's impossible for Bitcoin to suddenly dead
It's really important that you have knowledge about things before you invest your money, fuds affects newbies and some of those who forget about reading and analyzing the real deal around the market, you have to be wise not to allow yourself beating by any news which will lead you to a possible losses.

Let them think whatever they like, stand your ground and keep your faith as future will dictate what will happen after.
1563  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why do you have to take risks. on: February 10, 2019, 07:04:14 AM
Risk is part of life and it is risk not to take a risk. Why some of us make money and other did not is because some see risk as an opportunity why other see risk as danger.
Mostly right, those who have the guts to take the risk are the earners in life, they take the chance and succeed with thier goals, same thing with crypto, we take the opportunities to buy low and wait for the bounce and earned after, the market situations is worth to invest as positive comeback will happen the sooner.

Though it takes some time but it's worth to take the risk and enjoy the benefits after.
1564  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Mistakes need to avoid in day trading on: February 10, 2019, 05:33:52 AM
Emotional trading in crypto and even stock market or forex is inevitable because your money is involved, so I don't see that point as valid or very important. Please you will need to correct your subject matter so that the question or what you are trying to let people know will be more clear.
When dealing with your hard earned money, its common with most traders to have this trying to protect their investment and wanted to earned profits,
emotionless trading can be learned somehow but hard to really stabilize, we are working with our money and if we wanted to avoid mistakes we need
to have lots of things to consider.

The list might bring attentions but traders have its own ways to make it much better.
1565  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is it the best time to invest on ETH on: February 10, 2019, 05:28:56 AM
Ethereum price is now below 600$. Do you think it is the best time to buy Ethereum now ?
the price only is not a big problem but the market is also very important so ethereum will last the popularity from this field so if we invest it take long time to regain the value of getting profits.
The can cope up in due time, but with continuous supports coming from more ico projects that will lift them up, though ETH suffer losses from that big bull run eventually the price will bounce again and bring more profits to those investors and traders who keeps accumulating and storing their coins.

Maybe people needs to understand the benefits of holding, the bull will bring the market to its new height prepare yourself.
1566  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are the inconveniences you experience with crypto related gamble projects. on: February 10, 2019, 04:57:05 AM
I'm not that much into gambling but also bets for some NBA games and some dice when I got some extra funds, the idea of using crypto for gambling activities was so helpful, as we can easily play without a lots of registrations and providing documents as many fiat based casinos needs before allowing
you to play, the only downside, each time you based your funds into fiat and convert it into crypto chances to lose its value is always behind you, so when you win and the value of crypto falls surely it will be felt after withdrawing and converting it into fiat.

Some delayed from withdrawal of your funds also ends up the same when crypto value falls.
1567  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can we stop promoting scam project? on: February 10, 2019, 04:47:32 AM
I dont even think if there are so many peoples are joining the bounty in just like one million peoples. So there is no way to stop promoting scam project because its their only way to make money.
We cannot stop them in promoting since we do not have control on their decision but with proper discrimination of information
in a certain project's status, I think somehow we were able to help people not to consider investing in a certain project.

This cannot be completely stop as it's impossible, but at least we can minimize it.
Helping by exposing concerned with certained project will give hunters /investors an  ideas to think twice regarding to a certain projects, we can't simply eliminate those scammers but by providing information will lessen possible victims, it can be done by every individuals around here who have good knowledge about any certain projects.

If everyone start to show concern, this practice will help every possible investors.
1568  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Positivity is necessary in the cryptocurrency space on: February 10, 2019, 04:40:58 AM
The right word to do with the current situation is "patient." Because of that we will understand how real crypto works. And in crypto positive thinking is certainly necessary to avoid wrong decisions or other words like panic sell. That's actually what often happens, because we don't think positively of course things will happen that we don't want. We always believe crypto will grow big in the future.
You have to build strong foundations in order to learned how to work with this type of industry, having a good insight with every market flow
will give you confidence to wait, positivity builds trust to make things easier to work with, many people /traders and investors forget that there's
reason why things are happening, setting goals and have a good planning while waiting will let you to avoid committing mistakes.

Understanding the flows and overcoming fears, be positive and it will bounce to you, results will be positive in the long run.
1569  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2018-2019 betting on: February 10, 2019, 04:29:28 AM
~snip~

Wow, you already have a won bet, good job, seems like people here are good in sports gambling.
Meanwhile, looks like it's winning time again as the Celtics outscored the Clippers in the first quarter only (43-20) .

Though the Clippers had a rally at the start of 2nd quarter but the longer this game goes, Boston will score more on Clippers lack of defense.
This is crazy! With celtics up 30 points at one point the clippers have come back from the dead. I think they did it two times before when trailing by 20+ points in a last week.
Clippers have tied the game at 100 with half of the last quarter left.
I dont know if the line will cover this game.
Kyrie Irving went out of the game at the half with a knee sprain. Dont know if he will be available in their next game.
Clippers have Zubac from the lakers playing tonight.
This was a bad beat, Irving only played 14:17 minutes with 14 points, that's very accurate on him and he is a big loss for the team since
he did not play the entire game due to injury. If only he played, they could have easily bet the Clippers with a double digit went, it was nicely cap IMO but unexpected things happen like this, Irving is the main man in the team and when your main man is down, the entire team will be affected.


Hard to say it but we loss in this game, Final score is 123 - 112.  Cry Until next time

Yeah. Better luck next time.
I thought the celtics were going to keep scoring so I bet on the over 240.5 points when they were 25+ up in the beginning of the second quarter. So I double lost on this one game.
Sorry lost bro, seems that celtics got choked and the rally of clippers begins at 2nd half continued and snatch the wins against our bets, we
always knew that shit really happens and even we are thinking that the results will favor us, change pace of the game  as rally comes from clippers
works so well.

Let's move forward and wait for tomorrow's  pick. Good luck
1570  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Old coins vs new coins on: February 10, 2019, 03:13:12 AM
I will still cling to my old coins like ETH and XRP if the facilitators of the projects are actively promoting their coins as their coins made it to exchange because their projects are proven feasible to the masses. It's just happen that there is bearish market that makes the people afraid to invest in crypto currency but once bullish market will start then for sure old coins will bounce back again.


Coins who already have a good communities are commonly rise when the market start to pumped, it's the easy access for crypto lovers to divert their money from bitcoin to alts and start pumping what coins they love to support, many investors and traders are just around and waiting for the moment
then ride with the  flow.

New coins will be tested from this bearish and if they survive, chances to succeed will be there when the bull trend starts.
1571  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: KYC is simply just to cheat bounty hunters. on: February 10, 2019, 02:53:13 AM
To my understanding, KYC simply means "Know your customer". Investors(customers) who participate in ICO are made to go through KYC process before they are even allowed to purchase their tokens. On the other hand, Bounty hunters are just "part time workers" of the project and not customers. Even if they will be made to go through a KYC process, it should be before they start working and not after. Waiting for them to finish working for the project and refusing to pay them because they failed to pass KYC afterwards is a total cheat.
As a bounty hunter also there is no bigdeal for me if the company running the ico required me to do a kyc since investors are also passing this process provided they would include it atvthe start of the campaign but if tjey would only required this after the campaign done then that would totally a form of cheating cause not all bounty hunters can provide a kyc and it is not fair for bounty hunters part
That's the common issue regarding to this, bounty hunters are ready to provide if the rules was already been there before the campaign starts but if only added after the campaign it can be a ruin the hunters stake as some members here still wanted to hide their identity and not willing to give any personal
information, they will simply ignores those campaign that will ask them to provide and undergo KYC.

Should be discuss properly before the bounty start not after the work has already been done.
1572  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: This person made $500,000 with gambling and lost it all within 60 seconds! on: February 10, 2019, 01:58:39 AM
The story is from about almost 5 years ago but this is 100% relevant to 2018 or 2019 or many years to come, you can read it here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1ch7wb/starting_with_almost_nothing_i_made_almost_500000/

In short version, he gambled on Bitcoin, made $500,000 - and lost it all later on, he then continued to gamble in Roulette and other games, and ended up with $50,000 in debt.

By the way,
This is not only related to Bitcoin or Casino Games - if you think Sports betting is different think twice after reading this:

https://www.psychforums.com/gambling-addiction/topic182379.html

This person lost over $300,000 within 48 hours, all because of sports betting, he had bets on tennis, basketball, soccer - you name it.

And there are many more stories to read such as this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/problemgambling/comments/4pzgmu/i_just_lost_140000_in_5_minutes/

Moral of the story - you can never be rich with gambling, and even if you end up being "rich" - you would lose the whole lot in no time ... only the house wins because the house has an edge.

the problem is a person could not control his emotion and happiness while getting the profit or loss being calm and composed will very important to be a profitable Gambler and if you got a huge profit take the winning amount quickly and invest from the new little amount this will be the right way to reduce the loss happening.
Very well said, if you still have control while you are feeling lucky like this, but most of the time it's greediness who keeps you coming back and
let you to feel that you are undefeatable, aiming to keep more and more winnings, control and misuse of his lucky day for sure many of us will
say if only he be able to save even little winnings or just stay away when he already loses everything and not to push and be back losing another
bankroll of his own.

Kinda unusual but its really happened inside the gambling casinos.

1574  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Pre-Season on: February 09, 2019, 07:20:54 PM
The Greek Freak mad again an amazing performance in the Bucks win against Mavericks. Antetokounmpo played like the real MVP of the team and his stats were very very impressive. I think that after Mirotic signing, the Bucks can now challenge the NBA title. After all this amazing performance that Giannis has done this season, he deserves a ring.

I agree. His name should be in the contention for this year's MVP. The scary part is that he is not even at his prime yet, but he has done so far that he could be a candidate for the MVP. I even read some article that even the great Dirk is impressed with Giannis transformation.

I'm sure they will be the top seed in the East, so it's going to be compelling how he is going to perform come playoff time.
He needs to continue playing like this, He's a good contender for m as well,  they are dominating the east though the tough competitors like  raptors, sixers and celtics are still present and also have gunners that can also be deserving but this Bucks are making their own show to rise.

It's too early to conclude but Giannis and the rest of his teams will make their own story inside this league that's something to be watch for.
1575  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Want to quit? Here's how on: February 09, 2019, 06:40:45 PM
You better quit gambling so you won't bet anymore. Hope you understand that leaving gambling will make your life confident without.
Thank you for your kindness, I really appreciate that. Many people judge gambling as negative things, including yourself, but I am not sure about the advice you convey. When you talk like that, have you ever gambled? if then, how long do you do gambling? When someone assures that gambling is something that must be avoided, he must know and he has experienced it, but if not, then you are only lying to yourself.
Precisely, you can talk about things when you already came from the situations, unless you are just talking nothing, people who suffer from this problem and able to catch up are meant to give advises base from what they experienced before, moving forward from past bad experienced really hard to be accomplish, but with your willingness and your self control tough things can be achieved.

Experienced will tell the whole story and will bring something educational to avoid or to help preventing things to happen again.
1576  Economy / Economics / Re: Why all people moan about the price of bitcoin? on: February 09, 2019, 08:13:34 AM
They moan because they entered when the price of bitcoin was at its peak, and then the bear market was in power for a long time, which certainly destroyed the hopes for many investors to get a good profit in bitcoin. But if they have high patience, it is very possible for them to get their dreams, because we know the market is now green because of good news about ETF's.
Having this long patience while waiting for the good news to comes up will allow you to achieve your goals, you are just been moaning as if you are not ready to see your investment keeps falling, reasons from that is lack of knowledge and having an emotional reactions when you are failing to see growth
from your money, price of bitcoin affects investors that have a big investment but only have little ideas with his investment.

If you have good points of view with any situations that will happen, you will not be worried by short / long term bears, as you have the trust that your
investment will grow after the recovering days start to rise high.
1577  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: The crypto market is starting to improve??? on: February 09, 2019, 07:50:38 AM
Hello everybody,  Grin Today the market is green again, will it last for a long time or just an atmosphere of comfort for a moment and then red? How do you respond to the current atmosphere. Thank you for your attention. Wink
The market is now recovering and we can see the pumps of some altcoins and of course the pump of the bitcoin. It seems that it is now the beginning of the bull market that we always expecting.

I can't say its recovering because most of those who trade much are seeing this an opportunity to sell. This kind of sharp spike is a good opportunity to make money. Something that you'd most likely to grab by selling what you have and see where the market is going again. A lot are expecting the market to actually dip to $2000, we'll see about that ifit really will drop that low.
That's the problem with small pumped, holders who seen the opportunities will do short and sell what they've got, waiting for this moment to sell those coins who's stuck inside their wallets, we don't know where the market are heading but we do need to be more careful especially when we are in the investment side.

Carefully analyze and learned from previous movements, small pumped accompanied by big dumped after.
1578  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: For those bounty hunters who can hardly relate on: February 09, 2019, 07:42:24 AM
To all crypto bounty hunters who can hardly relate:

Situation: ICO started their main sale and will last 2 months and offers bounty program. ICO price was $0.5.
Bounty Hunter: I will join their signature campaign! Let’s do this!

After 1 month....

Admin: We decided to pause the campaign because our legal advisor suggests for our product to be fully compliant with the country’s regulations.
Bounty Hunter: (facepalm)

After 1 month....

Admin: Good news bounty hunters! We will now resume our bounty campaign. Since ICO was extended for a month, the same goes to our bounty campaign. Happy bounty hunting!
Bounty Hunter: Yippee!!!

After 1 month (one day before the ICO ends)....

Admin edits the ICO countdown timer and replied: Due to overwhelming demand, we decided to extend the ICO to another 2 months!
Bounty Hunter: Whaaaaat??? (But decides to continue the signature campaign).

After 2 months....

Admin: Congrats bounty hunters! Our ICO is successful! Here’s the final spreadsheet!
Bounty hunter looks at the spreadsheet and replied: 1,000 stakes for me! Yippee! I’m excited for my tokens to be distributed.
Admin: Good for you! We will distribute the tokens within 2 weeks!
Bounty Hunter: All right! My hardwork finally pays off in 2 weeks! Can’t wait!

After 2 weeks....

Admin: I received an advise from our legal advisor that bounty hunters must complete KYC process. Since we have an influx of bounty hunters, approving your KYC might take days to weeks.
Bounty Hunter: (sigh) Oh well, it’s better than nothing. I’ll just do it anyway. (Logs in to site and submits KYC verification).

After 3 weeks....

Bounty Hunter receives an email that his KYC was approved and was excited, however.....
Admin: We would like to congratulate those bounty hunters who have passed their KYC. Unfortunately, we had a meeting with the development team. It has come to a conclusion that our team voted for bounty hunter tokens to be locked and will be distributed after 6 months to avoid massive dumping in the exchange.
Bounty Hunter: Admin I HATE YOU!!!!

After 6 months....

Admin: Bounty hunter tokens are now unlocked. You can now transfer your tokens from the dashboard to your ETH wallet. Thank you!

Bounty hunter transfers his tokens to his ETH wallet. After successfully transferred, he goes to Etherdelta exchange where he can trade his token to BTC or ETH. Unfortunately, the token’s buying orders are empty. Only selling orders appear with the lowest bid at $0.001 per token.  

Bounty hunter: F*** you admin!!!!! My efforts are wasted coz’ they’re worth shitcoins!!!!
Admin: (blocks bounty hunter from Telegram channel).

Trust me guys, I’ve been here before. Are you too? 😂🤣😅
Reality inside crypto, most of us who experience this thread surely smiling and just remembering those days, when you are so excited to know that the bounty will give you satisfied profits after completing the task, but shit like this happens and we can't deny the fact that from those may bounties which
available around, there's really messing with hunters.

Thanks for giving me the time reminiscing and remembering those coins that I still have without any value now.
1579  Economy / Gambling / Re: Primedice.com | Creators of Dicing 🎲 | 24 Billion Bets | 112+ BTC Jackpot! on: February 09, 2019, 06:43:57 AM
No matter what type of different setting or a strategy or a system they work with, house edge is covering all of that. There is no strategy that negates the house edge hence there is never a chance for a gambler to win in the long term. That is why the most beautiful scenario for a gambler and a casino is that casino provides a lot of fun and entertainment for the gambler while gambler has enough money to go and gamble while having fun and see that as a time well spent. That is why most of the casinos in Las Vegas do stand up shows and boxing fights and stuff like that so that you would go there and have fun while losing your money.

If someone comes in thinking they can actually profit from gambling that is bad for him and also since that person is almost always under informed about how casinos work they make a big headache for the casinos as well even tough they are wrong.

I feel you have a valid point as the house edge always works in favour of the casino, also you’re right as there’s no strategy that works for the long term it’s only your luck that helps you survive. Once in a while however a gambler comes along, and wins big so that does hurts the casino if he cashes out. The casinos in Las Vegas need those shows to keep people locked in, only then will they be making real money, and I feel it’s a fair strategy from casinos point of view.
That's how business works, they need to attract people and make them feel that they can beat the house in some ways or if they are truly lucky, this advertising and promotions are part of their strategy to gather gamblers to play inside and feel the comfort of their casino while enjoying with the
scenery, though it's mostly correct that each casino house have their own ways to take advantage they won't let that be felt by the gamblers, they will
bring sets of ideas and some cases where some lucky gamblers wins really big ones from the house.

Changing the mindsets of gamblers making them enjoy while chasing the big wins, these is where greediness needs to be controlled, gamblers need
to be more responsible to avoid getting too much attached.

Tomorrow's game -  Bucks -8 vs Dallas Mavericks +8

While I'm hot, I would also like to ride with the team that is hot right now, and that is the Bucks, they are dominating their opponent
and though this game is another road game for the Bucks, I think they can still get this done easily.

Dallas Mavericks has no improvement so far as KP is still recovering, the current line up is weaker compared to the line up prior to the trade.
Their lack of presence inside is going to be their weakness and bucks will take advantage on that.


Pick - Bucks -8

Another commendation for you buds, the handicap just easily covered your stats is adding more and more wins, for sure more and more followers
are winning with your pick, additional earnings for us who keeps following your pick.

More to come buds, still too early for this seasons.
