DirectBet used to have such political bets, lots of them with lots of lines. I don't know the sites mentioned so I can't tell if they good or don't, but the odds for yes are a bit too slow, 1.16x and 1.24x
162  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: September 19, 2017, 04:44:44 PM
Some League Cup games today.

Tottenham vs Barnsley: Tottenham is in crisis(they only draw to Swansea at home, and Swansea is not known for their efficient  attack), so best go for Both Teams to Score and Barnsley is known as an attacking brand of football.

Reading vs Swansea: Swansea failed to score in their last two away games and this month all their games ended with less than 3 goals, and Reading's last ome game ended with a single goal. I think under 2,5 goals is the best pick for this game.

West Ham United vs Bolton: Since Bolton is the last from the second division, West Ham is the clear favorite, specially at home, so West Ham wins to nil and West Ham and over 2.5 goals for this game
163  Economy / Speculation / Re: Less Volatility Is Needed? on: September 19, 2017, 04:22:12 PM
How could low volatility be imposed?
Only by external forces, that is contrary to free market and to Bitcoin, and would kill it.

Or what is the alternative?
164  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2016/17 on: September 19, 2017, 04:09:17 PM
Barcelona will meet Eibar at home, where they are almost unstoppable, like the 3-0 win against Juventus demonstrated clearly.
Eibar is not doing greatly this season, with the two wins coming against the weak Malaga and the mediocre Leganes. They have no chance today.
Good picks would be Barcelona and over 2.5 goals and Barcelona wins to nil, in my opinion.

If this is such a big barriers then they probably are losers that won't get anything from live if they don't change, and probably would lose their BTC to scams or hacks or because they panic sold at the wrong time, so they wouldn't make difference in the end.
166  Economy / Speculation / Re: The price of Bitcoin has a 91% correlation with Google searches for Bitcoin on: September 19, 2017, 02:11:19 PM
Correlation doesn't mean relation and there is no guarantee they will last forever.

But any idea why the correlation exists?
167  Economy / Speculation / Re: But if China gov say mining is illegal, we are fucked. Haipo Yang‏ ViaBTC CEO on: September 19, 2017, 02:08:33 PM
"We" who?

Bitcoin difficulty is self adjustable by design, if they shut down, a new equilibrium would be found. Even BCC found one eventually.

In fact would make little difference, except for them.
168  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin without China on: September 19, 2017, 02:05:36 PM
There is no leaking, leaking is when official documents or something is released to the public, but there is no such things, just the media saying that someone told them that there might be a Bitcoin crackdown in the near future. Rumors at best.

One need more solid evidence to change long term investments. I don't see the hashrate falling more than usual, for example
169  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should I invest In Bitcoin? on: September 19, 2017, 01:45:55 PM
If you want big returns in the future then yes. But you should know what you are you doing and know responsibility, because you'll be the single responsible for your money and everything you do with it. If you don't have the ability and the responsibility you may lose everything.

Nice, but where is the source and the blockchain transaction?
171  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ICO Regulations on: September 19, 2017, 01:20:30 PM
Just apply the current laws.

If an ICO is a scam or are breaking the law then they should suffer the consequence. No additional regulations need to be created.
172  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: September 19, 2017, 01:13:56 PM
Schalke - Bayern Munich may be a tricky game because Schalke 04 is doing good this season and Bayern Munich already lost an away game against Hoffenheim, so the result is not easy to predict.

Better go for both teams to score but I'm not really sure.
173  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: September 19, 2017, 01:01:39 PM
Bologna vs Inter Milan:

Inter is undefeated this season and won an away game against Roma by 3-1, while Bologna only won against the last position Benevento by a tiny margin of 0-1.
Inter so far only conceded against Rome, so the best value for this game is Inter wins to nil.
174  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2016/17 on: September 19, 2017, 12:28:17 PM
Valencia - Malaga:

Valencia is undefeated in their last 16 home matches against Malaga, and still is undefeated this season, with games against stronger opposition like Real Madrid, Levante and Atl Madrid. Malaga comes from 4 defeats in 4 games and there is no reason to think the pattern will change today.

For better odds, since Malaga failed to score in 3 of their 4 games this season, the line "Valencia wins to nil - YES" would be good at  2.8 is a good option.
175  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Bitcoin 'Crashes' Twice A Week on: September 19, 2017, 12:12:40 PM
Hey all,
I wrote this article that got a lot of play in the tech world.

http://www.venturebeat.com/2017/09/14/why-bitcoin-crashes-twice-a-week/

Would love to ask the board if I missed anything in the analysis,

Cheers,

I like, good article.  Here is a list of the real "crashes" if defined as anything over a 33% decline, (update: the current decline is a "crash" under this definition with its sub $3000 price):




It would be nice to define and give meaning to the word "crash" but that will never happen in the click-bait world where we now live.



Bitcoin low in the last crash was around $3000, even lower in China.. Why is he faking the low, or where did he get the "low" from?

Of course it is good for marketing, but I feel it is not really true.
176  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: would you live in a country that use bitcoin as official currency? on: September 19, 2017, 12:10:30 PM
Would you like to live in a country where all the money is digital and everything you spend is public and could be seen by everyone in the world until the end of days? And if the internet is shut down then you would have no money?
177  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Best way to turn BTC to ETH on: September 19, 2017, 12:05:19 PM
In an exchange like Bittrex, but they demand verification and have limits and other boring stuff.

There are decentralized exchanges, shapeshift.io and coins that have decentralized exchanges, like waves.
178  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin be used by ordinary citizens? on: September 19, 2017, 12:00:25 PM
In the past people would consider absurd the idea of ordinary citizens using computers and smartphones, because the technology was too complex.

Now the same thing is happening to Bitcoin. If the technology is innovative enough, ways always will be find
179  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: why btc is not a ponzi or tulips on: September 19, 2017, 11:47:57 AM
Then any investment is a ponzi or a tulip bubble, and much worse than Bitcoin because the supply is unlimited and even manipulated is almost all markets.

If no invests on gold then the prize will go to 0 and if no new investors buy gold, then the price will go to 0. Same to stock market or diamonds or art works or anything.

Fiat money is even worse because it is guaranteed to slowly(or quickly) steal the purchase power of anyone holding it?

But why isn't everything ponzi and tulip bubbles Huh
