If you win large amounts of money, the chances are quite high that they will want to reject you to a certain investigation. 128k is also a decent amount, I understand that they want to do a verification. And the KYC doesn't seem that strange to me if you win such amounts in the end. And if you eventually get the money deposited, that doesn't seem like a problem to me. I think that providers are also bound by certain laws and regulations, but there will also be gambling sites that do not feel like paying out such large amounts at all and then they could of course pull out the whole box of tricks to extend the payment as long as possible to set.
How often do Casinos have to pay out $128k ? I would say not that often. Wins like this would surely be factored into the Casinos finances and would guess that it's a small percentage of their takings. Maybe they have extended payout times for these substantial payouts, maybe they are required by law to do checks? |

Before I received my first Bitcoin I had to do a lot of research and verify what I was doing.
I had to make sure I was in full control of my Bitcoin and to choose a wallet which gave
me FULL CONTROL with private keys.
Receiving the Bitcoin for the first time, I think it was $100 worth gave me mixed feelings,
on one hand it was great to see it landing in my wallet but on the other I was anxious to
get more and make the wallet balance grow!

Recap on my bets on this weekends round in the United Rugby Championship: It worked out with 2 from 4. My predictions won but I made those two losses wrong, The points difference didn't workout
Munster on the other hand were very good and covered my +3.5 bet by beating Edinburgh by
21 points, I definitely think they will be on a winning roll from now on.
I have 2 more bets on for today, -11.5 on the Stormers to beat the Dragons @1.71 and a straight
ML win by the Lions to beat Scarlets @ 1.23
Connacht v Benneton - Connacht will win today but to get some value I have Benneton +11.5 @ 1.63
Stormers only beat the Dragons by 8 points Connacht beat Benneton by 19 points. I might rethink my point spread betting for next week.... |

Hi Tennis posters
Obviously in the ATP and WTA there are no tournaments happening. We can be sure most
of the players are hard at work training for the new season.
There are still lower tournaments happening at Challenger and ITF levels, just wondering if anyone
is betting on these?
Also is or has anyone done the simulated betting?

Thanks for the links, yes it's easy to do an online search but I was hoping to get some
suggestions from UI UX designers here on the forum.
I see from those 4 links the first recommendation from 3 of the sites is a "general" design
book - 1. The Design of Everyday Things by Don Norman are they just copying each
other or is that book really the "Bible" of design?

Hopefully I'll be able to get home in time to put some wagers on those games. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get myself sorted this last week to put any wagers on, but from what I can tell they were great games.
Indeed Timelord they were! At a time when the Soccer world cup is on I find it difficult to watch that sport after watching Rugby and especially those two games last weekend and all the Autumn Internationals I got to see. There can be really bad games in Rugby but they are in a minority where as IMO really good games in Soccer are a minority. Anyway last night's games in the URC threw up wins for my predictions but I didn't put a wager on the Sharks, I wanted to do a point spread but the lowest I could get on Rollbit was -21.5, lucky because they only beat the Ospreys by 15 points. Munster on the other hand were very good and covered my +3.5 bet by beating Edinburgh by 21 points, I definitely think they will be on a winning roll from now on. I have 2 more bets on for today, -11.5 on the Stormers to beat the Dragons @1.71 and a straight ML win by the Lions to beat Scarlets @ 1.23 Connacht v Benneton - Connacht will win today but to get some value I have Benneton +11.5 @ 1.63 |

Hi all, I think/hope this is the correct board to post this in
My son is a few months in to a UI UX design course online and wants some related BOOKS
for Christmas but we have no idea what to get.
A bit of background: he has been working in Data Analytics for a few years and wants to add
UI UX Design to the portfolio.
My first thoughts on this would be that the area is a fast moving one and that somebooks
would become obsolete fairly quickly I could be wrong though.
I guess there are a lot of designers in this board so hopefully you have some suggestions.
any input is much appreciated.

Rugby Union
Round 9 in the United Rugby Championship kicks off tonight with 2 games:
Cell C Sharks v Ospreys - these two are close enough on the table but I'm backing the
home team for this one with a point spread. Sharks are massive favourites 1.06 - 8.4...
maybe a point spread on the Ospreys would be a consideration too?
The second game tonight is Edinburgh at home to visiting Munster. I think I'll go with a
Munster win. I think they have their game back on winning ways. Odds are 1.75 - 2.14.
I'll go with a +3.5 on Munster @ 1.65

They say two good heads are better than one, I couldn't agree more. Here's a an unconventional betting strategy that me and my friends have come up with to bet on some of the world cup games. I totally love it because we have cashed out about $1000 since the games began. Also, it minimized the losses and everyone goes home happy.
The strategy - We created one betting account with a local gambling site prior to the World Cup Games. We all contribute equal amount of money to fund the wallet. And using different analysis we place our bets on at least 3 of the world cup games every day.
For me it has a lot of advantages -
- it minimizes losses
- it reduces the chances of being addicted
- it helps to build bonding. We hang out. We watch the game and we have fun.
- We have a budget and we stick to it. It sorts of builds accountability.
Do you have a unconventional betting strategy that have been working for you? Do Share.
This is pool betting, not really unconventional we also did that when I was in my teenage but we did not get the results that your group or friends enjoy, there's always conflict on what team to bet and there's blaming game along the way, I'm not doing it anymore I want to be responsible on my losses and winnings and there's money involve and when there is money involved between friends there's going to be conflict, so there should be a gentlemen's agreement and you know each other character so there will be no fight, hopefully, it will not happen to you and your friends what happened to us. Yes it's a betting pool. The advantage is obviously as the OP says that many heads are better than one so everyone can input various ideas and data to create a strategy. I don't think it would reduce the chances of getting addicted though. On the plus side I could imagine that discipline and budgeting would be stricter which would be a good thing. Yea sounds good but not unconventional |

I don't know, man. It seems like a very short leap from banning/restricting privacy coins to banning/restricting any cryptocurrency up to and including bitcoin itself. Makes sense, right?
These fucking government bureaucrats aren't at all concerned about money laundering in the context of privacy coins. Do they know there's a problem there to begin with, and how would they even get the data on that?
Just like in the US with its brand-new 80,000 IRS agents, the EU wants control over the money you spend whilst keeping their octopus hands in every pocket their citizens keep money in. My only question is how to fight this nonsense. Is anyone even trying to?
absolutely, this move by the EU to ban privacy coins has nothing to do with money laundering, it's just the go to excuse to ban something which gives us control over our property. and in the mean time we have the corrupt Christine Lagarde head of the EU Central Bankable to side step any accountability for her shady dealings in the past and still hold one of the top institutional positions in the world. |

Is there a difference between Payment Method and a legal tender?
It is extremely frivolous to comment on something without reading what exactly it is about - is it so difficult to click on a link or do you consider it a waste of time? While this represents a huge step forward for cryptocurrency adoption, the bill falls short of making Bitcoin legal tender. For all those who relate this news in any way to El Salvador, don't be too excited - Brazil has not declared Bitcoin to be legal tender. How much this kind of law will help people in Brazil remains to be seen, and we will be able to see that only when it is officially approved by the new president next year. Yea while it does fall short of making Bitcoin legal tender, it's a massive step forward and could be seen as a stepping stone to the legal tender status. Another positive is that it's Brazil, largest country in South America. It's also another government softening it's view on Bitcoin. On the down side there will be more regulation. It's important in times like this that we can be reminded that we should seek out decentralised options for entry and exit points. |

Well betting on draws in Rugby is non-sensical, it rarely happens, I get it though when betting on Soccer though, draws are the norm. (I also went to do a wager on the AFLW grand-final and mistakenly bet on Brisbane at $1.40 instead of Melbourne at $7+ - needless to say, Melbourne won and I'm a dollar shorter).
Ouch, that was a missed opportunity. Did you get a wager on Australia against Wales? that was another missed opportunity! |

Nice one mx12.levins, quick turnaround!
I assume you have contacted Timelord and have the details for postage?
This is moving along nicely, Europe finished!
I'm sorry to say I missed this post - (and the PM too) - @aoluain - was your message in relation to this, or something else? Did you get a message requesting your postal address from mx12.levins? You are next in line Timelord! |

I'm ok with either Danes suggestion of smoothie picking the winner or with an open voting system. I would like to offer one of the remaining Bitcoin Colouring Books to the prize pot > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5406385.0What happens in the highly unlikely event that I win? maybe I pass the book to my personal pick? |
