Now, this disappoints me. It's a huge fee considering that not everyone gambles with hundreds or thousands of dollars. It might be better to use other crypto assets for transactions to save on network fees. I haven't tried this site yet, but on most gambling sites I've used, I usually transact using XRP and USDT (TRC20). That way, I won't worry too much about the fees, even if the gambling site adds a bit. But, there's no way I would pay a $12 USD equivalent network fee.
Although it is not the highest withdrawal fee, but $12 for withdrawal fee is still too much especially for those who want to withdraw less than a hundred buck. They are still new in the industry and I think they should offer something competitive/better to attract players out there. Other than that, they stated that all withdrawal should be checked first which means that they do not offer instant withdrawal. With high withdrawal fee and with manual withdrawal process that may take longer time, I dont think it is a good deal for players.
If my memory serves me correct, I think Nitrogen sports has a 0.005 BTC withdrawal fee and then there are that two site which I forgot their name who has a 0.03 BCT and 0.05 BTC fee. Crazy isn't it? But maybe they support altcoins and the withdrawal fee for them are small.

If you are a whale player and then you also win hundreds and thousands of BTC, I think you won't mind those withdrawal fees but it's definitely a no for an average gambler. I have no problems with manual withdrawals and many new sites do also start with this but a high withdrawal fee is really a pain in the pocket of us poor players. Again there might be altcoins but some of us are only using Bitcoin.

Both schalke and koln managed to win today in an away game despite being a huge underdog, koln are already safe from relegation and Schalke team managed to escape from the zone for now bulter had a huge role in his team's win after scoring two goals one of them was in the extra time giving his team important points.
Leverkusen would have gotten an equalizing goal in the first half but they were not lucky enough to utilize all the attempts upon all the crosses. Koln on the other hand were able to make good use of their chances as well as keep a stable defence, and that gave them the win.  I  knew it was going to be like that in the case of Leverkusen and Koln cuz Koln has not won for long and had to give out all they could to secure a win despite being the visiting team.
I was also expecting draw from the Leverkusen, but things were not gone into their favor specially Koln players were playing roughly in second half which create problems for them, and they don't have chance for this draw with now they are going to face AS Roma in semifinal which is also important for them here in Bundesliga things looking impressive for them and with the remaining matches most chances they will keep this place and UEFA Conference qualification is under their control for the next season.

Right now, even it's not easy to go against Roma, but we can expect any result which will help them for having place into final which could be also amazing as they were in relegation zone and having place into final of Europa Cup could be a dreaming end of this season for the Bayer Leverkusen and Xabi Alonso.
1723  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: May 06, 2023, 08:14:34 AM
Look at it this way. In Germany, the championship is not as rich as in Spain, obviously, scoring here as in Bayern will not work, so his number of goals in La Liga should not be compared with the Bundesliga. Age is of secondary importance here, it certainly affects him, but I think it does not and will not hinder him for two years yet.
It is true. La Liga competition is simply more competitive than Bundesliga. There are more strong teams in La Liga, Lewandowski can't easily score as in Bundesliga. Age, teammates, and tactics also have big impacts on Lewandowski's performance. These are basic factors that directly bring serious effects on Lewandowski. So, we can't compare his goals during in Bundesliga and in La Liga.
Even I believe it's never been ideal to compare different leagues with each other because all have their own positive and negatives which are having their own impact as well but still I believe La Liga is much better and competitive then Bundesliga because here we have many teams which are having tough quality and top ranked players instead of Bundesliga which is having just three or four teams which are mostly fighting against each other and quality difference is also having big issue as well.

With mostly we have Robert Lewandowski a great number of goals but here in this season even he is at the top but still we have reduced number of goals jut because of quality difference and as few are thinking age and other aspects also have their impact, but I believe quality and league difference is surely having big impact on his performance.

Things that appreciate in value exponentially don't make any promises or guarantees for that to happen in the beginning. Bitcoin wasn't or isn't a HYIP or a Ponzi scheme that would have made promises for people to believe in it that it will generate huge profits for them, it was a mere technology created to tackle some issues that traditional financial institutions had.

People who knew about it initially from a technical point of view and saw the actual purpose behind its creation, they didn't really need any promise or guarantees for anything nor they bought it to get profits like what people do today. People back then believed and supported Bitcoin for what it was created for and not for its value and volatility.
1725  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never Expect Consistent Winnings From Gambling - A Lesson I Learnt. on: May 04, 2023, 06:46:41 PM
Only those who are extremely lucky manage to get winnings from gambling and that too isn't permanent, even the luckiest people start losing after a few days of their winning streak because that's how gambling works.
People believe that you can make money from gambling because these so called lucky people only shows their winnings they boast their winning to people because they get satisfaction from boasting their winnings but kept quiet when they are losing, this is one part of compulsive gamblers they derive their happiness from making people believe that they are expert and lucky in gambling, but in reality these compulsive gamblers are knee deep in debt.

I have seen a lot of people creating threads to post their winnings and bragging that they know how to win but they cannot keep up because there are days that they have a long losing run, even if they tried to win they cannot so their thread gets buried because they have a hard time winning again.
It probably does give them a sort of satisfaction when others envy their wins and praise them for being so lucky, even if they are not really lucky and everyone once in a blue moon manages to get some winnings which is not a big deal, a big deal would be if your win over loss ratio is high and you are not still recovering from what you've lost in the past.

A real honest gambler will always declare their losses as well and admit that even if they've managed to hit big this time, they have seen a lot of loss streaks as well in the past and now it feels good to finally win something.

if you follow the history of Bitcoin then I'm sure you won't hesitate to recommend Bitcoin to your friends and even your family,
yes, Bitcoin in my opinion is indeed one of the wonders of the world because it's only from a programming code and then turns into something of value,
of course this is which makes Bitcoin or crypto currency unique, especially now that decentralization is increasingly needed by the world and Blockchain is the answer,
so believe that Bitcoin will change the world.
Not just follow but also if you have a good experience with it because there are some who follows BTC but are not successful on building a good wealth. I doubt these people will ever recommend BTC to their family or friends but if they are the ones who are being encouraged, they will hardly change their minds anymore.

BTC isn't created from just a simple code because if it is then anyone can create their own BTC and it won't be valuable as much as it has now. Being decentralized is I think in the crypto and not in the blockchain because CBDC which are centralized currency do also runs in the blockchain. I'm a BTC enthusiast but I don't think BTC can change the world. That's a big obligation already. BTC can only change our life.
1727  Economy / Gambling / Re: MEGA:PARI | Gambling&Betting | PLENTY OF BONUSES INSIDE 💸💸💸 on: May 04, 2023, 03:56:01 PM
In fact, I have played several times at this casino. If there is money that is really not being used, I will deposit it at several casinos, including Megapari.
Even though here I have never made a big withdrawal because of a win but at least they don't make me disappointed and can give me the same pleasure as I play in the big casinos out there that I rely on.
We don't know in the future what they will do to become a big and popular casino but I have an assumption that they can.

Yes, for now, the signature campaign from Megapari is on pause and it hasn't been confirmed when it can start again, but previously they had been running the campaign for several weeks.
That is the most important thing there when gambling and that is by using residual money so that we will not worry even if we used all of this because in gambling unexpected things can happen. We can say that we will only gamble for a short period of time but we can get hooked in the game resulting for us to continue.

It's not important to make a huge amount out of gambling but a small win is already a big blessing knowing how hard it was to make it. At least it's enough to test the functions of the casino if their withdrawal speed is fine or not. It's better to not know what are their plans as it can make us feel excited. I'm sure there are still more to come from them, so stay tuned.

It looks like Messi has been offered an enormous deal by Al Hilal. The salary offer is worth more than 400 million euros a year. This would be a really crazy deal for him of course as he can guarantee the rest of his career with this much money. However it doesn't look like he is thinking of leaving Europe yet. Instead his priority seems like joining Barcelona side if possible. Barcelona don't have money issues anymore as it seems. It is said that they are already waiting for seeing if there would be any problem with FFP in case of signing him.

PSG also want him to stay in fact but Messi still rejects their offer. It looks like the offer isn't as good as he wants now.

https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1653802808687177729?s=20
Going back to Barcelona is never a wise decision, he has taken a good decision but at the wrong timing,  Ronaldo moving back to Manchester United should have taught a large lesson there.
But leaving Paris Saint Germany a club you have contract with to go lookout for another club, I knew Messi would be seen as an angel for this move but no, that's not a good way to go bout things.

But for the fact, Lionel Messi and Neymar Junior should leave Paris Saint Germany already, its the perfect time and right one to leave.
Messi's unannounced visit to Saudi Arab create good masala for the media with timing is also not good but with this now few things are clear here as I am also feeling Messi and Neymar both are going to leave PSG after end of this season as Neymar can go in any good club like Manchester United or Newcastle United but for the Messi it's still nothing clear because Barcelona is not having clearance from La Liga which is big issue for them just because of this he is trying to secure deal like Cristiano Ronaldo which give him hug salary and good incentives which he deserves as GOAT.

Al-Hilal is surely behind him for long time but can he leave Europe it's still big question because we have not good quality in Saudi Professional League but is money power or still he loves to enjoy his soccer at his best we will have in next few weeks all.

Milan now is a big risk to staying out even if they will penalize Juventus again  Shocked.

In the top 6 they also have the harder matches remaining.
Milan is surely in deep trouble after having last four matches draw from five which mean they are already losing their performance and spot badly if they keep things like this surely they will be out of the top six which could be disasters for the defending champions now they will be hosted Lazio and then in round 37 are going to visit Turin which will be not easy trip as they are struggling and have no enough time for improving things which bring back good spot.

AS Roma is also having worst time if Inter give them below then surely they will also out of the contest, and then we have only Inter and Atlanta for the race which is surely good for the both teams as they are right now having improvement from here any team can go through with Inter is also in for Champions League game against Milan as well.

Manchester City although looked bad with Gundogan last night, yes they still found ways to win against West Ham United. Manchester City to win the first leg and also qualify, Real Madrid might have their ways with the Champions League but not this time.
It’s really looking favorable for Manchester City as they face Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League. Having been on a winning streak in the premier league and also being in amazing form, I think Real Madrid should be prepared for a really tough match. Not undermining Madrid capabilities, but I think City would have the upper hand in the game and may likely win the game.
Manchester City did struggle a bit to score West Ham in the first half of the EPL, they still had a win. I think they would go into the game ready to play and win Madrid.
It's not only favorable right now their performance is also amazing with in last 19 matches they have 3 draws and 16 wins which is surely more than amazing for any team last time they lost against Tottenham in February with they have only 3 defeats in this year which mean in all prospects they are having chance for the title in both competitions even many are feeling in this season they can complete their treble which will be the best reward for them and coach Guardiola which is doing amazing work for last few years.

Haaland is currently goal machine and no team able to stop him from doing these goals without any big trouble Real Madrid is also having good but in last few matches they are not played as they have to done which is creating problems for them, but first leg match is going to be interesting because if Real Madrid able to stop them surely this could be miracle in current situation of both the teams.
1731  Economy / Speculation / Re: What if BTC won't see ATH again? on: May 03, 2023, 08:08:40 PM
And why do you think it's even really necessary to see another all-time high? ATH or no ATH, there are people who will still adopt Bitcoin because it provides a digital means of handling our financial records in a decentralized manner and allows users to be in full control over their assets. Perhaps the whole population of this world doesn't need to own Bitcoin for its purpose to be fulfilled. Even if the total supply of Bitcoin were divided among the world population, no one would own up to 0.5 Bitcoin, at which point the total supply of Bitcoin would not even be enough for the already existing Bitcoiners because there are still thousands of people who don't yet hold even up to 0.1 Bitcoin.

So my point here, @OP, is that Bitcoin has all possible reasons to still see a new all-time high based on the total supply, and also that Bitcoin was not even created for the ATH we keep speculating about; Bitcoin's purpose is for the common man and woman to have full control of their assets in a digital way and to carry out money transactions with anyone around the world.
That is such a great way of approaching bitcoin, and funny enough that is the reason why it will see ATH as well. I do not care about what the price is because I will keep using it and that's the thing that matters the most for me. People who are not really considering that are making a mistake. I personally hope that the best thing to do right now is to make sure that we invest accordingly and that is the most important thing.

I know not many people will be able to actually do something that will matter, but as long as it does then I will be fine with it. I hope that it gets at a better point and we will not see it do too badly, but that doesn't mean that we will not be able to actually lose money, we just don't care about the price when we are using it.
1732  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Referral bonuses are waste of time on: May 03, 2023, 07:25:03 PM
In my opinion, I think referral bonuses are typically waste of one's time because of its processes that seems so impossible to claim and recently I came across a thread
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5437603.0 seeking for Casinos with paid referral bonuses and I tool out time to read most of the responses there and they all seem impossible to claim referral bonuses.
I wish to know if anyone has successfully claimed referral bonuses and how easy was the process and what Casino did you claim those bonuses
I think you must be using the wrong gambling sites or expecting too much from the reward of referring someone if this is how you're feeling. Refer a friend schemes on a low level are reasonably generous, mainly because word of mouth and a referral by a trusted friend is probably more likely to convert into a decent paying customer. However when you're looking more towards affiliate programs and mass referring users from different sources, then you may struggle to find decent payouts. Simply because you are competing directly with the advertising programs that casinos are already running, it can be hard to find a good stream of quality paying signups and that's all that casinos are interested in extracting from referrals.
Or maybe he is referring the wrong people? Those people who don't have an interest in gambling even at a tiny percent. He won't obviously get anything from them. Our friend might be trusted but it does not mean that they will now play gambling. Trusted people are usually kind and don't have bad habits such as gambling but each of us do always have that friend who are the opposite of the nice friend.

This is the one that we must encourage because for sure they will easily sign up on the link that we have given and they will also beg for guidance. I think there are still places where the casino didn't reached in terms of marketing and we might be the first to promote our links there. We must only pray or hope that we can gather active players for us to earn decent income thru referrals.

They got busted so fast. This thread doesn't even last for a month before receiving scam accusations. This shows that we don't really cater scam and we want to help each other by giving warning to this forum. I suggest to victims to post a scam accusation with proofs in the Scam accusation board for it to be recognized as scam casinos. This is why I don't even try playing on new casino because the chance of you being scammed is so high. Be careful guys especially on new casinos.
We cater or allow any sites here but we don't tolerate the scams because we care about the safety of other people and we do care about the reputation of this forum. Until now, Bitcointalk has a nice record. It's a home for of many legit crypto gambling sites and known to help gamblers who are having an issue. It's either they got scammed or they are becoming addicted to it.

I check the domain on Whois and found out that they start in 2021. This proves that scams can happen too on older casinos and not just in the newer ones but I still agree on you that the fatality rate is still high in newer casinos because people are not familiar with them and its easy for them to abandon their site because there is no sentimental value yet that has been built up.
1734  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you stay updated on: May 03, 2023, 04:38:11 PM
You can get all the information you need to make your mind about boxing or the UFC from the internet. I wish I could name you some websites that have a lot of statistics, but I am not so much into boxing or UFC. My main sports I follow and bet on is football and some esport games. It comes natural to me to stay informed and uptodate on the sport as I have played in the past myself and I always check the news about some changes. You are right that football is completely different from boxing. There is a huge league in football with many games every week. All the teams meet multiple times during a season, so you have constantly changing odds. And also it not only depends on your own performance to become the champion during a season, but also on the performance on the other teams. In boxing it's much simpler as you have less matches in a year and the big title fights is only between two people. Which also means that it's harder to stay uptodate on the boxing news as there will be much less coverage in the time between the fights.   
I think ESPN covers a lot of that if I'm not wrong. One can easily get the basic stats from player profiles and news and analysis of upcoming matches from their website, and there are a bunch of other websites that one can use to get news, information, stats, and analysis about UFC and the matches. I'm personally not so keen about the sport, but I think one can also get a slight idea of how things work if they watch some matches from the past or some that happen.

The fact that there aren't a lot of matches of UFC in a year makes it easier to follow up with the matches and to stay up to date with the changes and facts that may affect the performances of specific players.
1735  Economy / Economics / Re: Why is Inflation Happening All Over the World At Once? on: May 02, 2023, 07:29:16 PM
Instead of 7-10%+ range, we are back to 4-7 range nowadays and I am sure that in another year by 2024 we are going to have a 2-4% range once again like the old days. Which means that high inflation already happened and that's over, we are getting better, the prices do not drop, it went up and stayed there, but now we have a chance to fix our income to match that.

At first when the high level of inflation happened, that was hard to handle because our income was small compared to that, but now that everything is getting back to normal, if you get like 10-15% salary increase whereas the inflation is 4% then you actually get more money, it was more like 10% salary increase but 15% inflation so you lost. I think in a few years we will all be doing a lot better thanks to this.

People today getting exaggerated with ChatGPT this cannot give too much than your fantasies related to gambling this is used to help people with their concerns and use for developing tools, you can seek information with the chatgpt but in defeating into a game far from reality with the use of chatgpt still needs with the players presence to play in gambling casino unless you will built a script for your automatic game destroyer in the game, this case surely makes a suspicious to the player might put a penalty for the players part.
That's an interesting point I haven't thought about yet. I agree that ChatGPT is not there yet to take over all human decision making in gambling and online Poker. But there could be a time where AI will surpass is humans in gambling, like it happened in many other games. The real question is how will people be able you use it in poker if there are large sums of money involved. In chess for example there are computer programs that are much better than humans for years now, and still online tournaments are being played. The main issue here is that games can be analysed quickly to see if a machine or a human was playing. I would expect the same thing to happen in online poker. The use of advanced software will likely be banned and punished harshly.
We can't predict the exact things that might happen in the future, AI might be able to defeat humans in gambling in the future, and it may never be able to do that, it all depends on how advanced the technology can get, but even after that, I think humans will still have an edge since an AI model will never have the ability to think.

AI can only evaluate the results from the past, analyze the data and predict one step in the future while a human can think of steps ahead and that is the reason why humans will probably always be superior to AI models no matter how developed they might become.

What else should an established crypto casino add?
Of course, every potential player first looks at the selection of games or deposit bonuses, and for most online casinos that is certainly something that attracts new players, but I would like to point out one more very important thing, which is customer support. In the event that some unpleasant situation happens (and there are quite a few in the Scam accusation board), every casino should react as quickly as possible and clear things up before the impression is created that someone has really been scammed.

I think that reputation is very important in this business, and every player will be able to appreciate the quick resolution of possible problems and will remain loyal to that casino and recommend it to others.
Excellent customer support is undoubtedly one of the most essential things a business like gambling should have since most of the time, players run into issues within games or with their accounts or finances, and when the issues aren't resolved quickly or on time, a player simply prefers changing their casino and choosing another one over what they were on previously.

I've seen projects losing a lot of potential customers and eventually failing only for not having good enough customer support and taking good care of their customers since a business can only get successful if there are active and returning customers.

I think the situation that made him feel at home in Tottenham is that he has a place in the hearts of the fans and the comfort that he gets in Tottenham makes him feel at home with Tottenham. But lately he has been heavily linked with big teams from the EPL who are interested in securing his services in the transfer window. I think other teams should be able to persuade him of the loyalty he has with Tottenham to accept the offer they are making.

indeed he has quite good qualities at his disposal and he can reach a trophy if he moves to another team. I even think that if he accepts an offer from Manchester United to move, then that's a pretty good choice for his next career.
I find him a hostage of his own contract that he signed with Spurs otherwise being a legend in the heart of Spurs fans is funny since he will be forgotten the moment he leave the team or retire without getting any single trophy and Conte wasn't joking when he said that the whole team and the management are dysfunctional.
Spurs being Spurs is something that start to hear often. Kane has to find another team to improve and boost his career. It is ridiculous to see him in the shadows of Tottenham..
Now in July he could be 30 years old mean still having 5 to 6 years in his career which mean he can do things which are important for the legendary player like his already spend nearly 14 years here at Tottenham without any success is ridiculous for player like him if he changes his mind then surely top ranked clubs like Manchester United and Bayern Munich can go through for him with he can win trophies which will surely amaze his career which is already having few amazing achievements in Premier League.

Hopefully now after end of this season we will have different things for him and his career because right now with current situation I have doubt they can end into top six because right now Liverpool and Aston Villa are doing impressive run which can give them better end with Tottenham which is currently having four matches without any win can go down from their current spot as well.
1739  Economy / Economics / Re: Which do you prefer on: May 02, 2023, 05:39:59 AM
I don't think there will be anyone in the world who doesn't like self-employment and prefers a day job instead of being their own boss where they are literally free to do whatever they want to without anyone having the right to say anything to them for not working the same hours or going anywhere or taking leave, you talk about any aspect, self-employment is a thousand folds better than working for a company or even the government.

The only thing that one should be concerned about is whether they can earn enough by themselves and whether the earning is consistent or not. Not being able to earn one day and earning more the other day is okay, but having breaks of weeks or months can become an issue later on.

Russia talking about west is right as well, war in Ukraine might be terrible but not like West hasn't attacked middle east for the past 20 years, we have seen that, west has done much worse war crimes before as well. So, Russia is right about west and west is right about Russia if you ask any nation that is staying out of this, like mine, we just laugh at your attacks against each other.
