1581  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA Finals 2022 - Warriors vs Celtics. on: June 16, 2022, 10:08:37 PM
It is going to be a critical night in NBA. Warriors are in the lead by 3-2 as you know and they are so close to ending this series earlier than I expected. My expectation was that we would see seven games until it ends. It can still happen though. Celtics will need to give everything they have got to this game. No matter how much solid Warriors play, Celtics still need to find a way to make it 3-3. We deserve to watch the seventh game and Celtics also deserve to carry their hopes to the final game.
They could really end this series tonight or if the Celtics will prolong it with one more game.

All the advantage now is with the Warriors but before it was with Celtics. This is a big mental game for the Celtics now and the Warriors putting that much all of their effort on this upcoming game will surely give them this final.

And just as the typical thing whenever they're in the finals, they'll win.

Not all the time, they lose against the Cavaliers before on their home court, so we cannot guarantee that they will win the finals although they have the advantage here. I just find this game enjoyable to watch, but I would not be too confident that the Warriors will easily win.

We see how Boston give a good fight to Warriors so there's no easy win for GSW on this match since I'm very sure that this game 6 they increase there physicality so that they can maximize their  performance and possibly extend the game to 7. But its undeniable that Warriors is at advantage on this so I guess we can see them eager to finish this because if they let this series stretch to game 7 maybe their championship title will gone this season.

The advantage of the Warriors are the experience, this is a do or die game for the Celtics, they might not be able to focus 100% due to the pressure they are feeling in this game, but Warriors who are known to be a clutch team, they should handle the business in game 6.

And so this is the biggest fight in this division, since the Floyd vs Manny, but the circumstances are different. And perhaps this could be the biggest fight of the year in terms of PPV numbers and the money being generated, maybe close with GGG vs Canelo.

I'm not sure if it will be bigger than GGG vs Canelo fight, although this fight is way better than the latter, I think Canelo is very popular and could generate a lot of money for their fight. However, I believe it will still earn a decent revenue since Spence Jr. has a good number of PPV in his previous fights, and since it's an anticipated fight, that will surely improve.
1583  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA Finals 2022 - Warriors vs Celtics. on: June 15, 2022, 02:52:46 PM
<<<<....>>>> I like to see him continue his impressive performance in game 6, and how much more if Curry will not struggle anymore.

This series will be over if Curry will score 40 points again. Warriors have different players who can step up, while for the Celtics, it's only Tatum who is a bit consistent because Brown is already limited with the great defense Draymond Green put on him. I know Smart is also good, but he is not consistent, so I don't expect him to be a big contributor.

It's a road game and Curry might explode again. It seems that great players wanted to show how good they are in the road, like the last time wherein Curry had 40 plus. But Wiggins and Klay should also step up to help Steph.

As for the defense, Green is trying to held himself, against Smart and the rest of the Warriors, like Horford and Williams. But Looney and the surprised starter Otto Porter is also helping him out.

Curry has better performance at home compared to the road, well that 43 points of him in game 4 was just exceptional, but I don't think he will ever achieve that number as for sure the defense of the Celtics will still be focused on him. Ever wondering why Curry was scoreless in 3 point area last game, that's because he gets double every time he gets the ball, and smart was focused on Curry alone in that game.
I wouldn't put it out of the realm of possibility that Curry cannot or will not score 43 again vs Boston. Yes he got double teamed but as you see that just made other players step up. Boston will make changes which will likely include not double teaming Curry in game 6 as well as there is no way Curry goes 0 for 9 on three point shots. I think Curry has a monster game 6.

Yeah, I agree with that, Celtics have a decent chance if they will not double Curry because that will make their defense better. In fact, game 4 was a winnable game by the Celtics but Curry was just shooting very well in the 3 point area that game. IMO, Celtics just have to stick with their strategy in game 1 and game 3 where they beat the Warriors with a decent margin, and also they need to take advantage on the inside, not relying so much on their outside shooting.

Abuse of any kind is a grave mistake, loss and crime that must be eradicated, as there is a possibility that perpetrators will do the same to other casinos in various ways just to get a bonus.
Abusers will just usually get banned. They will not be charge of a crime as most crypto casinos does allow anonymous gambling and customers does not submit for KYC.

And this problem if it happens too often will be a lesson for all casinos and will tighten the security system in terms of bonuses, because bonuses are their way of attracting honest new customers and bonuses are also what all customers especially new ones want.
Yes, they have to improve their system or their security as no casino will be abused with good security.
People just want to make money, unfortunately, they will do it even if it's unlawful already.
1585  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: High odds or low odds, which do you prefer? on: June 15, 2022, 01:52:27 PM

I play less often unlike before, I reduced the money I am using to bet, emotions gone and I win than before. How about you people, are you high odd punter or low odd. Can you also tell us your experience? At you losing or you make profit from the odds you are taking?

When I was still new in sports betting, I always think that low odds would make me profitable in the long run, but after weeks of the experiment, I come up to the conclusion that betting based on odds alone does not make you a smart bettor. The thing is, if you keep betting on low odds, that will make you stupid because you will not analyze anymore, you don't consider the stats and hence you will not be able to apply if you see some value on the odds available.
1586  Economy / Gambling / Re: Which sportbooks allow winners on: June 14, 2022, 12:51:07 PM
Hi there,

Are there any crypto sportbooks that allow winners to play there and dont start limiting players once they win a little bit?

Thanks!

They will allow winners but in terms of limitation, they will do their job to ensure that their business will remain profitable, so most likely you will still be limited if you keep winning. For you to get a big limit, you should choose the biggest sportsbook, such sportsbook that accepts millions in bets from one gambler, I think it does exist.
1587  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sports Betting vs Online Casino Games: Which do you prefer? on: June 14, 2022, 12:07:47 PM
Since sports betting is more information-based, you are more likely to win. Technical data is in the foreground. Your chances are more than fifty percent. However, online casino games are completely dependent on luck. You have a fifty percent chance. If you are lucky you will win. That's why I prefer sports betting.

That still depends on how you will interpret the information you know, it's more on just like a stats and other data of the teams, but that would only give you an information on how to analyze it, information about a fix game is diffeerent, that is something that would assure a win.
1588  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your NBA Champion this season? on: June 14, 2022, 11:49:56 AM
Warriors is a complete package, players are stepping up when Chef Curry is not performing that much, Klay, Wiggins and Poole are orchestrating their attacks while they are also defending each attempts coming from Boston, no easy shots though Boston keep coming close till the third quarter but the Warriors made that 10-0 run and maintain the same momentum.

The series is now turning back to Warriors. Boston needs the adjustment that they can win and protect their home court.

It's a needed win for them to stay and push for the last do-or-die game.
Steph became the steward today and he did supply his teammates some good assist to be able to win the game.
Andrew Wiggins though is something else. He was consistent at his last games and we loved that but now it is different. He saw what the problem is and that's Steph having a rough night so he step up his game and exploded like a true All-Star. We had been waiting for this, he was always silent at stats of 16/6 average and was never a big trend but tonight is his night.

Andrew Wiggins could also be the X factor in game 6, but I'm hoping that finally Klay will have a big game because we call him "GAME 6 KLAY", if that will happen, this series will be over and the Warriors will win in 6.
1589  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 (September 17) on: June 11, 2022, 09:07:38 PM
Canelo will still likely win this match because he now have more advantage than GGG, but getting a win in this trilogy won't give him much hype but he needs to endure this fight because this is his ticket to get a rematch agaisnt Bivol.

Yes, I agree with that. Winning against GGG won't put Canelo on fame as the big thing is by defeating Dmitry Bivol. If Canelo will win here, I think it's just a recognition that he will receive but the hype isn't that high because GGG is already on his retirement age and this trilogy might be his last fight.

Regardless, Canelo has to win no matter what. If GGG wins instead, I doubt Canelo will have a chance to face Bivol in a rematch. Aside from that, Canelo might not get big fights and needs to go back from the below rankings before having a shot again to fight in a title match.

Nobody have thought that Dmitry Bivol will be the 2nd boxer who will put a stain in Canelo's record, Bivol has the reach advantage but Canelo has the IQ in the ring as he is more experienced but the defending champion, Bivol has done a good job in frustrating Canelo. The judge's tried to help Canelo but the fight was really clear that Canelo was having a hard time getting near with Bivol.

If GGG will win in this trilogy, I don't know anymore. Perhaps Canelo should go back down to his most comfortable division and make his name again great in that specific division.

Yeah, GGG is also determined to win, and now that Canelo is coming from a loss that will make GGG more confident that he can exploit Canelo's weakness. After this, GGG can retire (regardless of the outcome) because he is not getting any younger and he has already achieved a lot in boxing to be called as one of the greatest, so he can enjoy his life while he is still healthy.

It's easier for him to retire if he loses the fight because if he wins, it would open more opportunities for him to have big fights and that means a big payday for him, unless, he will think of his legacy and will retire with a pride, like what Mayweather and Marquez did. In the end, it still depends on the decision of GGG, he know his limit and he knows what he likes to achieve in life, so let's enjoy the trilogy as we have been asking for it.
1590  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can You See Or Tell If A Fight Or Event Is Fix ? on: June 11, 2022, 08:43:40 PM
Nowadays match fixing have decreased much compared to the past. These days match fixing might be happening within the club level games. Recently saw an user posting a match as fixed on our forum and suggested to go for the odds. I didn't took into consideration, but as he said the results came accordingly. I don't know whether it is a coincidence or really a fixed match. As said when two equal teams play it is hard to find it is a fixed match.

This is not true as match fixing is not reduced by any means but in some places, it is being done at the country/government level. Don't know about other sports but in cricket, some matches and even tournaments like IPL are fixed. However, since fixing is done at a higher level, usually the details are not leaked or disclosed to the general public.
That is true - we see on thing on the TV which is the entertainment we think is a real  fair game. But what is going on the other side of the screen we don't have any idea. But match fixing is a sure thing - even they are done at the very higher level but now or then the information comes to people as well.

We are still making a guess when it comes to betting because they will never share such information on the fixed game unless you are a member of the syndicate or something. Games are fixed for the purpose of entertainment, so it's hard to be successful especially if you are following the public bets or the obvious winner based on what you think.
1591  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Old Casino Keep Up Without Support Here In Bitcointalk Or Signature Campaign on: June 11, 2022, 02:18:00 PM
Yes they can survive even if they don't have any support in this forum since if they can just promote more widely outside and target the large number of crypto users outside which I believe that there are more of them there than this forum. For sure we have many casino which didn't have a thread here but they are doing some nice appealing promotions which can help their business to totally grow more.
True, there are many websites out there that they can use to advertise for example etherscan, I often see casinos advertising there and that's just an example, or there are also casinos who prefer to advertise on forums rather than holding signature campaigns which they think may have the same goal.
An example of a casino that has been around for a long time and is no longer doing signature campaigns is Bitsler, Busadice they are still continuing their business.
Without a doubt once a casino reaches a certain size they can decide to not use signature campaigns as a way to promote themselves, however if we take into account how long some of those campaigns have been running and even then many casinos still decide to keep their campaigns running then the only explanation I find for this is that they are obtaining enough benefits out of it to justify to keep the campaign running, something which is not that surprising taking into account how influential this forum really is.

They see this forum as a big market, so running a long term signature campaign would benefit them.

Playbetr, betcoin.ag, sportsbet.io, stake.com, all these popular sporstbook have been running signature campaigns for quite a while already.
They are spending thousands of dollars, if it does not benefit them, they should have stoppe a long time ago.

Actually, even Fortunejack, they stopped their long term signature campaign and now they back with another long term one.

Now the series gets better, Curry lead the Warriors for the big win, the series is now even.

Curry had a double double, 43 points and 10 rebounds, enough to beat a strong home team.
As for the betting odds, Warriors are now favored to win the championship.

GSW 1.65 vs Celtics 2.25

Yeah, and the next game will be at Chase so for sure, the odds are going to shift on their favor. I think this is a defining victory for the Warriors with Curry having that big game. I can't recall how many times he score 40+ in the playoffs of if he actually score that much.

So we will see in game 5 now, and if ever the Warriors win the finals, for sure this will be Steph's 1st Finals MVP and them being back at the top of the NBA.

Wow, thanks for the trivia, I thought Curry had already won a Finals MVP but he didn't really won one.
based on my research, (https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/nba-betting-jayson-tatum-not-steph-curry-now-favorite-to-win-finals-mvp-180555239.html)

It says "Curry has three NBA championship rings but has never won Finals MVP"....

This is his time for sure, he just need to win the championship.

(...)

In the last 2 games, I think the refs are favoring the Celtics, but they cannot do anything on the greatness of Curry because literally Curry carried the Warriors on his back. We can really see how badly Curry want to win the game and they did not fail this time. Now, the series is tied, the advantage is now on the Warriors.
That's right, their next game will be in the GSW home court right? I think they really do have an advantage this time as GSW mostly win in their home court. I also think they will going to end the series as I see that they really doing their best to win. Luckily I woke up in the middle of the game where the Boston Celtics have some scores more than the GSW and place a bet on GSW with a very favorable odds.

That's nice to hear, good for you mate. I think after the 1st half, the Warriors are 2.90, so if you took that kind of odds, you are a lucky bettor. Warriors will be going back home for game 5, a win here will put the Celtics in a big pressure.

The lesson is be rich enough to take a private plane or ship into international waters for your gambling needs, then you are legal.   Lots of things are quite unfair if you dont have money, I wouldnt worry too much about your gambling usage just dont hold too much at once is probably the solution I guess but mostly you should not be hassled in any more moderate solution.
I'm not planning to hold a large balance because technically, I'm still accessing the website from a restricted country, thus breaking their TOS, not sure how applicable this is after using Cloudflare's DNS though, but generally, I'd rather be cautious. However, my question is, does TrustDice or any other website still see my actual IP address, knowing that I'm bypassing my country's block?
If you are masking your real IP, they will not be able to see it, but there's a risk that's why you should be ready on the sanction since you knowingly access the stie even if your country are ban from accessing it. Sometimes, we just have to find a way to enjoy even if it's not allowed, but we should be responsible enough to accept the consequences.

So this fight is still prime for prime, not like Pacquiao vs Floyd which is kinda late in their career as Manny has taken a lot of damages already. But this one? no, mega-fight in the making, both undefeated and the best welterweight of this generation, pound for pound best.

Agree with that, both fighters are still in their prime and they are very dominant, it's just nice to see that this unification fight is happening and we will see the undisputed champion after this fight. I think I got Crawford here, he is the faster and he also has the power to hurt Spence Jr. This antcipated fight is going to be fun to watch as no one would want to lose here.

A good game 4 so far. The Celtics are up at the half but both teams are playing good basketball. The refs made some questionable calls against the Warriors that led to Steve Kerr getting an early technical, so that’s something to watch. Mostly I think the Celtics are exposing the Warriors size. You can really see how much the Warriors need Wiseman. Looney isn’t bad, but he’s not exactly a championship caliber NBA center. I’m surprised how often Jaylen Brown seems to be getting open as well. Good defense against Tatum though so far.

In the last 2 games, I think the refs are favoring the Celtics, but they cannot do anything on the greatness of Curry because literally Curry carried the Warriors on his back. We can really see how badly Curry want to win the game and they did not fail this time. Now, the series is tied, the advantage is now on the Warriors.

Latest championship odds.

Warriors 2.70
Celtics 1.48

Very attractive odds for the Warriors, I can get a 2.87 odds using the price boost, I like these odds now because I believe that the Warriors will not easily fold down, they have the championship DNA on them, so these odds are not only attractive but also an opportunity for those who want some good value.

Good luck, BK8 is a decent gambling site, I'm sure you will have a fun experience by signing in to the platform.

Lots of casinos have offered a welcome bonus but only a few have a good reputation and that includes BK8 in my list. So enjoy.
Personally, I only know this site in the forum, so it's a good decision for them to run their advertisement and promotion here since they are successful in attracting some audience here.

Credibility, license, security, and feedback from its users are the things that I usually check to see if a sportsbook is legit and trusted. Their trust rate has a huge point because it signifies their reputation. Experienced gamblers here will testify if a sportsbook is trusted and there are honestly lots of it that you could find on this forum.

It's easy to find a good and bad sportsbook, you can always check the profile of their bitcointalk account, if they have plenty of positive feedback, they are considered a good sportsbook, and if they have bad feedback, that means they are the worst, simple as that.

We are in this forum, the easiest way to check their reputation is through their profile feedback.
