Serena just started her match and i hope she is just rusty. At the moment her level of play is not enough to win even a couple of games against opponent like Harmony Tan. If she does not have a higher gear anymore this will be one sad final match.

it is quite possible that she only needs to put some games behind her to get the feel back. Too bad I can't watch this one live, seems like there will be some great opportunities for live betting.

And well, Serena lost the match against Harmony Tan, 7-5, 1-6, 7-6 (10-7). I thought at least she will not exit this early, but I guess he is rusty and doesn't have the body to compete anymore.

She has a good change in the 3rd though as she broke Tan for a 5-4 lead, but then again, Harmony comes back to tie the score at 5-5. And then she lead 4-0 in the tie break, but Tan has some still in her bag with those winners.

So it ends up being a sad final match and it seems a shame that she did win the second set by a superior margin (or,,, maybe Tan was just conserving her strength). BBC was all over this coverage on the global page and when she lost the page immediately went out of the front  Grin

At the end of the day this was a match between a 24 year old ranked below 90 and a 40 year old ranked below 400,,, I respect her a lot but she has to retire now I think or risk worsening her endline reputation.

Anyway does anyone have information on wether we can stacks those free spins or not? kinda feel that we might have better chance with higher number of spins
Not to sure you can stack them but once the 25 spins are up I would imagine you can just re enter the game and your next set of free spins will appear.
But understand what you mean. Better to have them all in the same round.

You can stack them, I have done so before for freespin promos, they will all just keep as your bonus spins until you use them,,, the only thing is to watch in your Rewards tab in Casino side, to check for validity of those freespins. And take care of the date, as I got my lesson from it before. The Date shown is not included, they expire before the date.

So for example if Date says 30 June (tomorrow) means you have until today 29 June to use them.

It will go along with the crypto market right now: down. Unless there is a bull signal for the whole market, I don't see it could hit back even the $600 price this year.

I think we have to be way more conservative than just 'BNB is $230 now so I do not think it will hit $600',,, we should be saying BNB is $230 now and everything else in the world is down and looking worse,,, we will be lucky if we preserve all the prices now for the rest of the year.

We have to wake up and see things for what they are. Economy is really bad now. Facts of life. Yes we will recover but we cannot just imagine it happens soon and expect that to be true.

I meant remember a few years ago when so many new smartcontract platforms massively introduced to the market and they were creating bunch of FUD started from called ethereum would be gone to the zero, ETH scam and many more.
Sometime people who being supporters for ethereum competitors were doing black campaign like that to attract the new comers to their community.
It's sad that if this trick is not working anymore as people become even smarter right now.

It actually never really ended with all these competitor platforms. I definitely remember those days of supposed Ethereum killers,,, TRON, EOS, WAVES and what not (I even went for Waves poor me). Now you have the DOT and the SOL and the AVA are all supposed to kill ETH but look at where they are now.

You cannot simply create a network to be fast and cheap and hope that is all is needed.

Same here,,, I rather Sportsbet do not go and issue their own tokens and add more noise to the noisy market which is full of crap. I think you can still do wonderful things with Web 3 but it does not have to be a token as that is the route everyone else goes and is hardly necessary. Even all these football club tokens are meaningless to me.

Congratulations on Brasil and Japan verifications for Twitter!👋

No tennis bets for me guys,,, always losing only now, and time to take a week break as I also lost some money somewhere else where I bet. And today just finished a huge losing streak at blackjack, which was pretty idiotic as I normally do not bet like that when I am working.

10 minute coffee betting break became one of the most expensive 'free coffee' breaks I ever had in a long time  Angry

Good luck to everyone today, save some money for July Wink

@RussianEnglish: DeFi cannot be trusted because they lie when they say decentralized,,, Who runs the network, who wrote the code, who hosts the servers and backend? Who provides liquidity?

Biometrics? You want more centralization and lack of privacy? Do you think that stops rug pulls? Hacks are only a small percentage of lost money. Scams and rug pulls and exploits by themselves are the majority of DeFi losses.

But it is okay and not complaining. Now I just need to see how well I can keep my position on the weekly wager. So many whales coming these days but that shows the site is well and truly growing. So great to see and be a part of, feel proud to be even in the list Smiley
I think it's fine, because it just means that we are living in a different period of crypto and a different fame of blackjack.fun as well. Definitely we are not as rich in bitcoin as we used to be but we are maybe richer than back in the day when you look at the fiat part of it.

I remember gambling with a few bitcoins, like literally deposit 3-4 bitcoins into casinos and gambling with it as a "fun" thing that meant nothing to me, it was like a few hundred dollars at most, and nowadays that few bitcoins could change my whole world to be fair, I could literally buy a whole house with it. Hence why it is not a bad thing, it is actually cool to see bitcoin go up, even in return of us gambling with very little satoshi amounts.

Exactly,,, I never complain or regret when it comes to wagering amounts and BTC balances in the past and compared to present either. I have had 10 BTC wagered balances in old dice accounts in 2017 which no longer exist today but in those days it was not even $1000 when I started. Compared to past few years wagering 1 BTC now is way more than that.

You are a super early adopter then I would say, great to have you here.

@ralle14 sorry to hear about the loss, it was not so much anyway in the end but as dimon says try to ask admin next time about it (in email and then inform in chat) it will always be taken care of Smiley
192  Economy / Gambling / Re: [Table] Withdrawal Fees and Withdrawal Amounts on Crypto Casinos on: June 27, 2022, 10:36:32 AM
@Wapfika is correct. I can confirm this just now.
Great, thx for the confirmation and the screenshot. So Blackjack.fun didn't allow you to withdraw 0.00009 BTC, but 0.0001 BTC worked fine and didn't produce the error message saying the amount is too small?

I believe this is currently due to Bitcoin price,,, cannot confirm myself but it makes sense that one day you can and one day you cannot based on 0.1mbtc which is $2 right now (I guess if BTC goes below 20k then it will not allow you).

The fee is also always dependent on network. I notice after withdrawing several times the fee is paid based very closely on satoshi/byte suggested fee. Then a similar amount is deducted from your withdrawal amount (and so far now this is something like 2k satoshi). Blackjack.fun does have that weird issue as in, if you withdraw 1 mbtc you will get that minus around 2k or 3k satoshi it is not known until the transaction is made.

This could also add to the reason why it did not work.
193  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UFC Fight Night & Main Event: Sportsbet.io Predictions & discussion on: June 27, 2022, 10:05:29 AM
Thanks! Was actually a late bet last night, popped it in shortly before lights out, was actually rdbase who suggested the opener, backtracking from a post from Welsh on another thread. If your luck is bad and your bets worse, could be refreshing to get perspective from others every now and then.

Gamrot was an upset yeah, fight reports suggested he was a little under water in the first 2 rounds from the Armenian but recovered for takedowns and points in the final.

Only 3 KOs I counted, after a bout of so many!

True, and not true,,, at least for me it still works as badly as when I make my own picks. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not, and generally better when I have no personal affiliation for the team/person I am betting on. It is really weird that when you think you know more about the sport, you can make unnatural decisions.

Anyway, yes I think the younger fighter was very very upset with the late loss to Gamrot, he will be hopefully less favored by the odds in next game, but as a result, a value pick to win.
194  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Brasileirão 2022 - Brazilian Championship Serie A on: June 27, 2022, 08:45:13 AM
Idiots, both my picks yesterday, I should have gone for overs or unders although,,, not that I would have picked Overs for Avai or Unders for Sao Paolo! It is just so frustratingly annoying when teams let their lead slip, but to be perfectly complimentary to Avai, they had just as many chances as Palmeiras.

Sao Paolo though their season is stuck in the mud, very bad news.
195  Economy / Gambling / Re: Blackjack.fun | 0.28% House edge | Live tables | Baccarat |Slots| InstantWithraw on: June 27, 2022, 08:05:13 AM
Here the minimum is 500 satoshi but the house edge is much much much lower (and it feels so too). So I actually achieved that in a few days of nonstop gambling. I specifically took holidays to do only this  Cheesy

During the days when I’m still getting that 1BTC wager reqirements for VIP, I manage to make 0.2BTC wager per day while my balance is just 0.006BTC without losing a single penny during the end of my game because there is not much n competition to hourly and daily wagering that time and you can recover your losses immediately even with just the hourly reward. I was lucky that Realwinner and ZB is not very active that time. All the daily and weekly contest rewards becomes my profit while the hourly rewards cover my losses by just playin slow on the english roulette using minimum bet.  Cheesy

Yes,,, I totally missed out on those awesome days. Now even if you place 4th place on the hourly wager with 50 mbtc you can only get 600 satoshi reward  Grin

But it is okay and not complaining. Now I just need to see how well I can keep my position on the weekly wager. So many whales coming these days but that shows the site is well and truly growing. So great to see and be a part of, feel proud to be even in the list Smiley
196  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake.com - The Leading Crypto Casino - 🦉 Drake, UFC, Watford Main Partner ⚽ 🥊 on: June 27, 2022, 06:40:11 AM
There must of been a rule change because when I questioned about this they told me there was no lossback bonus.
It didn't matter about rank at the time but now if what you are saying is a recent change then that answered it.
They didn't know how much the lossback was only that if you lost ALOT that you would be offered such bonus on losses.
It was around $15k-20k within a week period would you be offered.
But that amount has probably changed as well from when I asked about it. About 3 months ago when someone on their chat stated they had received it after loss after loss in this given amount of time.

Hey rdbase I see you are active at Stake Wink I must admit that their VIP system is so so hard to keep up with,,, I bet you most players have given up already and do not even really claim much or at least the regular ones who are not even Platinum (which is well impossible to achieve if you got into it late.

Last time I even checked the bonus/reload or whatever it is called it was just a few cents.

I wish I paid attention to lossback when I gambled THAT much!!
197  Economy / Gambling / Re: Blackjack.fun | 0.28% House edge | Live tables | Baccarat |Slots| InstantWithraw on: June 26, 2022, 01:28:54 PM
Well, congratulations to you, @leea-1334. You deserve it. Enjoy your new status Grin

I can not imagine how much money he used to reach a 1BTC wager but for me, that amount will be too big. I guess with his statement about "Ended up with about 25% losses but worth it", he is still in profit but I am not sure about that.

It is normal if we can not talk about crypto to those who do not know much about crypto because I have the same experience as you. When we want to talk about crypto, this place is the best place for us and of course, we can express what we feel.

Well it is easy to imagine,,, 1 BTC is about $21,000 today  Grin

But we are not all whales so nobody has the luxury of spilling 1 BTC in one bet, it took me over 1000 wins (as recorded by Blackjack.fun) and many more losses and pushes to reach this amount, most of the time my starting wagers is only around $2 or a bit more.

I said losses, so definitely did not mean profit,,, still not 100% sure what you mean.

Is there any benefit in becoming a VIP on the site or not?
I had wagered a little from time to time early last year but don't think I have been there since. Won some lost more as it is with blackjack.
Third world country? Thought you were from Japan but working in Singapore from what I remember reading from your posts up on the UFC thread.
I consider both of those first world if you ask me as their GDP are quite high.

Anyways, congrats on the wins as I hope you didn't actually use up one whole bitcoin to achieve this VIP rank. A 3-to-1 ratio is about right when it comes to leveling up on such sites.

At the moment, the clearest benefit is getting 1 mbtc per week for 5 mbtc wagering requirements, which is why I was chasing this Smiley

That turns out to be something like 3% rakeback. But apparently many more levels of VIP to reach and Admin is always giving freespins and stuff to active/VIP chatters.

You remember things very well! I do not even remember mentioning but I am NOT from Japan but I have complicated roots unfortunately it is nothing to do with my income hehe , I am working in Singapore correct. The reason I work there is exactly as you say about GDP, I earn there much much more than where I come from Wink But if you go to the rich places in Asia, to work,,, either you are an American or European expat with a very high paying job or you are like me, earning even less than the locals, but appreciating it because it is a lot more than what you earn.

I have leveled up on other sites with 2 btc in 3 months wagering and ended up profit about 10% of that (0.2 btc),,, if I can make tiny bets and be patient. Like I even have patience to do 1 satoshi or 2 satoshi bets on say 1% dice house edge.

Here the minimum is 500 satoshi but the house edge is much much much lower (and it feels so too). So I actually achieved that in a few days of nonstop gambling. I specifically took holidays to do only this  Cheesy

200  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you think about this Golf Strategy? [Betting €5400 on the US Open] on: June 26, 2022, 11:03:13 AM
I guess you need to try this strategy more times to get a bigger dataset to know if you can validate your theory or not

Yes, indeed, if anyone wants to try it, bet around €6 on 50 longshot players and see how far it would go - he's more than welcome, it's a risk of €300 but then if you get 1 or 2 players reaching 20 or less then you already cover the €300 risk (if you get 5-6 players then you can hit €1800) - but it's risky, and you might want to close the position at 50 to 1 or so.

It's interesting for sure, but requires discipline, luck and and to be hands on on it.


I suppose the same can be said for some American sports (basketball/football/baseball) as I seldom see the preseason favorites ending up winning and then you see odds change so drastically from 300x to 20x just over the course of quarter season. I think baseball especially.

I definitely thought about this style (to keep betting on longshots and adjust betting as others become longshorts) but the discipline, time,,, and willingness to keep doing it even after losses on first attempts. I would merit that type of thread a lot!

The data is needed for sure before we can conclude efficacy.
