There's plenty of ways to practice poker for free, but you'll never get the real experience unless you're wagering money.

You'll find plenty of plebs who go all-in pre-flop in free games, but this is relatively rare in a staked game.

If you're playing online, best thing to do is get your hands on a good HUD. Pretty much every player is using one, and you'll be at a huge disadvantage if you don't have one.

If you're playing at home, go to as many home games as you can to learn the ropes. Once you're confident, then you can start playing low stakes tables.

These people are punching each other in the face, trying to knock each other out cold.

I really don't think they are worried about coughing and sneezing on each other in the fight.

To be honest, I don't think I've ever seen a boxing match where the fighter sneezes. You would think that at some point in a 36 minute fight that at least one of the competitors would sneeze.

Now that I think of it, haven't seen much coughing either. Are boxers immune to the flu? /s

Free promotion is rarely good promotion.

If you really want to get students to get involved in this, why not send out flyers to students that live on campus?

You can normally find the addresses of student halls and dorms online, then you can simply send a flyer to every room in the block.

This wont be free, but should be massively expensive either if you use a local flyer dropoff service. If you can afford to give away $2k + more over stipends, you can afford to do some basic marketing.

I don't see what the big deal is, this might actually be better for the sport.

If you think about it, judges sit ring side and only see part of the action, they're completely oblivious to everything they don't see, unless the ref points it out.

With the correct camera angles, judges should be able to do a better job of scoring the fight fairly. Which might help avoid some of the robberies we've seen in the past (ahem Fury vs Wilder I)

This should be the case with every boxing match, whether remote or not tbh. Judges should use all the info available to them, not just what they can see within their limited perspective.

How much do you want to bet that OP has absolutely no trading experience or is actually net negative as a result of trading?

The truth is, even experts fail. Nobody is so good that they have a 100% success rate.

It's all about taking your wins with your losses, and making sure that you're wins outweigh your losses to ensure you turn a profit.

If you seek perfection, you'll be bankrupt soon enough. Few people really catch the bottom and sells the top, just like few people manage to turn 1-5% per day reliably.

Good is enough, you don't need to be great.

So that's an effective house edge of 3% pretty much.

Absolutely nobody would play at this site if it was a simple dice or crash site.

However, if it offered a good playing experience, and a long session length, then there is a chance it could pick up steam. That said, I am fairly sure that almost all gamblers would rather play with a lower house edge and keep the extra money, rather than giving it to charity.

Most gamblers are already negative, they're not looking to stack the odds against themselves any further. However, I'd like to see a 'tip' option implemented at casinos, giving the players the option to donate to some of their favorite charities.

If you're buying cryptocurrencies based on the fact that they're undergoing a forced scarcity boosting event, then you will soon realize what a pleb you are.

Just because something gets rarer, doesn't mean people will suddenly want it, or that it has any utility.

Bitcoin Diamond and Bitcoin Private.... Really? These cryptocurrencies are barely used by anybody now, and I can't imagine that will somehow change when they become twice as hard to get.

In general, I'd stay away from any cryptocurrency that aims to artificially reduce its circulating supply. These cheap tricks don't usually lead to price improvement.

Barring BTC, of course.

High rollers are killing it again now that Bitcoin has surged past $9,300!



There isn't a single red on the high roller board at the moment. Henry973 has made sure of that with some pretty bonkers wins in Roulette.

So far you have already x15 your initial bankroll.

I think you should take your profits while you can, I doubt you'll be able to defy the odds for much longer.

Also, are these the only bets you have been placing in this time, or have you already been running others? That could be eating into your EV.

Setting a specific goal to reach in gambling is rarely a good idea.

Following up on my earlier reply.

It actually looks like Changenow has a variable exchange depending on the amount you're transacting at once;





See next to "expected rate"

This could be encouraging people to deposit more so they can scam more. Has anybody successfully receive their funds from this platform?

It might not be a scam.

Some platforms have a minimum exchange fee, this can be somewhere along the lines of $5 to $10.

Coinbase is a similar example. Obviously the more you exchange, the less this affects the amount you receive in return.

Try entering a much larger amount and see if the exchange rate stays the same.

If you're trying to make a living from participating in bounties, then you're almost certainly going to find yourself wasting your time.

The vast majority of projects only run bounties because they can't afford real marketing that costs real money.

Instead, they give out their tokens which almost certainly have zero value to idiots that think that they're going to strike it rich when they hit an exchange.

Sure, there's always going to be the odd bounty that really pays off, but unless you've got a crystal ball, it's unlikely you'll find it.

Spend your time on more productive pursuits and you'll likely be better rewarded in the long-run.

Anybody that absolutely cannot stop gambling for extended periods of time is addicted to gambling.

Of course, if you ask these people why they have just blown their amelioration while gambling, they will typically neglect to mention this addiction—since many aren't even aware they are addicted.

It's similar to when the wine shops were re-opened when India eased restrictions in some areas. Then you see lines a kilometer long of people wanting to get wine... Ask any of these people why they're willing to wait several hours just to buy some wine, and you'll hear a huge number of excuses but probably none of them will be "I'm an alcoholic."

It already shows the percentages, 83% for Tyson.

I think this is slightly more favorable than what the bookies will offer though. I'm expecting 3:1 on Fury and 1:2 on Wilder—or there abouts.

Wish it would name and shame those that think it's Wilder, so we can ridicule them when he loses a third time in a row. 

Although I agree that the feel of a physical slot machine definitely contributes to its attractiveness as a game. I really don't think that people would actually buy a physical slot handle just to play online.

Realistically, it wouldn't be too difficult to create one with a raspberry pi and some spare slot machine parts from eBay, but I'm not sure how many people would actually go through all of that effort for very little reward.

That said, I do think that casinos could implement something similar with a mobile device, e.g. sliding the lever on a phone and phone vibrates while doing so.

Or you could rig the phone itself into a contraption, and push the phone down like a pedal to play. I doubt any casinos would go for integrating with this though, since it's just so niche.

There is already a stablecoin for several different fiat currencies, though most of course target the US dollar since this is widely considered to be the world's reserve currency.

The cryptocurrency industry is still growing, and its growth is currently fastest among economically developed countries.

Since the majority of these countries and their citizens consider the dollar to be the world's base currency, there is little demand for stablecoins for other native currencies.

That said, Tether did just release tether gold (XAUT) and will likely release a tether euro soon. Beyond that, I can't imagine we'll get stablecoins for less prominent cryptocurrencies in the next year, due to the aforementioned lack of demand.

If you are a huge whale, then these wagering competitions can be a way to effectively reduce the house edge.

You are almost always still up against the odds, and will probably not come out on top, but they're certainly better than nothing.

On the other hand, if you're not a large gambler, the odds of you winning these races and competitions on most popular sites is minimal. Unless they give out prizes simply for participation, you'll probably end up losing more than you win.

Remember, all games are designed to benefit the house, for some to win, others must lose more.

Looks like you don't have your recovery mnemonic, so you'll need to brute force your password to your Blockchain.com wallet.

There is a service called Dave's Wallet Recovery service: https://www.walletrecoveryservices.com/

I believe he charges a 20% fee for successfully recovering your wallet, and all he needs is your blockchain.com identifier to begin cracking.

Of course, the more detail you give him on your probably password, the better chance he stands at getting into your wallets.

There are a few reviews of his service on BTT, use the search function to find them.

Haven't had any issues with withdrawals on my side.

But then again, I only submitted my withdrawal earlier today and it was processed quickly.

Could be because of Labour Day, I know a lot of firms are slower to operate over this period.

How do we know you're not simply buying the food with a stolen credit card?

Based on the fact you're willing to take PayPal, that will leave you at extreme risk should anything go wrong.
