2201  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: January 12, 2023, 08:41:33 PM
The odds on a Fulham win are 4.1... Chelsea win 2.0... It's really not much of a difference, especially considering Chelsea are playing... It's hard to guess who will win this game, but I think it will be Chelsea, although their position in the standings is worse than Fulham's...
Chelsea have lost a lot of points in their last game. In addition, many players are currently injured. The motivation of the players will be low and it will be an away match. So I think it's a little hard to say that Chelsea will definitely win in this match.
This match could end in a draw or Fulham could win. Their performance in the last matches was not bad at all Smiley
Chelsea is facing two problems first they have the worst form in English Premier League, and secondly they have long list of injured players which is surely giving not good view about this match because Fulham is surely currently at his best and have enough firepower for giving tough challenge to Chelsea after the break Fulham won their all three matches and Chelsea is having only 4 points from last five games which mean things looking not good for them and they have to do something extraordinary if they want to win this match and have something positive for the future in Premier League.

If this match ends in draw or win for the Fulham, surely this could be disaster for the Chelsea, and we can expect some managerial changes as well because patients could be ended.

I watched the video but it does not present a 60 BTC or $1M win.

Months after a stop of Fairspin signature campaign and with so many competitors running their campaigns, what are plans of Fairspin team to keep their business on top?

Another signature campaign or kind of promo events for Bitcointalk members is not bad.
I watch to verify and you're right. I think the total winning is around 420k dollars only since it's first win is $360k and then the last one is $60k. It was still a massive win though but can be achievable easily if one has a big capital. I think those who can be able to bet with a big base bet are only rich people or whale gamblers and it's not recommended or worthy to try for a poor or average person because this was still gambling.

Even though multipliers such as 100x look small and looks easy to get, sh8t can still happen sometimes. Their sig campaign have stopped/ended but they still have these email promotions that registered users are getting on their mail boxes. That could still work like a charm.
2203  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin can be banned or stopped by governments on: January 11, 2023, 09:28:20 PM
Bitcoin can still be banned even if all governments on each country won't join forces. I search the status of BTC in India and I found out that it is legal but it says they are not regulated. This doesn't sound really bad I guess? And it can be normal since Bitcoin is decentralized. Plus, regulating it could kill its decentralized factor but in exchange of it is cyber criminals could be reduced.

Regulations do still have their own benefits. Another interesting fact is that BTC in India is 30% taxable. I think this was high but I wonder how it is possible when it is already given that BTC on their country is not regulated? Hmm but this should be enough reason for them to not ban Bitcoin forever.

I'm not sure the site would be a success, even if I did create dark mode, etc.

The game is too risky and the trust required is too high.

So it looks like it's time to end this project.

I will wait for the existing auctions to end and then take the site offline.

Thank you everybody for your feedback.
How will you know if you won't continue? I think it's too early yet to quit this project. Projects like this are kinda rare to see so you shouldn't end this yet. I check the site and I am not bothered about its colour or design. I understand why it looked like that. It is because this was just like a mini-game and there is nothing much the player can do after they sent their bids.

It isn't the same as the online casino so people should expect less. The game is risky but risks are even everywhere. Without risk, we can't gain something. About the trust. You can gain it over time as long as you will operate fairly and players are satisfied about your service.

Doesn't mean Dortmund would be terrible neither, you do not have to be awesome every year to make sure you win something. They lost Haaland and they also lost Sancho a year prior too, and now they are going to lose Jude too. That means they could get a little bit worse and that's understandable because they do not have their stars anymore and that's fine.

They could still recover from there and be a better team, I don't know how long it will take but it's fine to end up with a few bad years here and there which would be upsetting for the fans but then they are going to end up with a win eventually once again, just need some time to recover that's all.
2206  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: January 10, 2023, 09:15:04 PM
Two games pop out very much for next weeks games. First of all PSG should be easily dominate Angers, and it shouldn't even be a problem and I am guessing that they will finally have everyone back so it should be quite entertaining win to watch as well.

Second game is Lens beating a freshly run out of manager Strassbourg as well, that's going to be easy for them to handle and win. When you gamble on these two together it doesn't give a great return, so you could maybe do a 1.5+ goals type of winning? I am not entirely sure what would be safer, I feel like it would be quite hard to pick a better odd somehow, so you could just be fine with lower odds if you want to.
2207  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: January 10, 2023, 08:41:34 PM
I was expecting some sort of fightback from the Lankans considering the pitch was really good to bat on.

But they really bend the knee and hardly showed any intent in the powerplay and middle order. Even centurion Dasun Shanaka was playing half heartedly and only accelerated his inning when the match was almost dead. Siraj is turning out to be a real wicket taker in the powerplay and he's making a habit of getting early breakthroughs for the team.
I didn't expect any proper fightback from Sri Lanka since there aren't many great players in their team at present. Hasaranga is literally the only player that I remember properly thanks to his epic bowling skills.

India will whitewash the Lankans in my opinion since majority of their players are in great form. Also, Kohli keeps rocking and 156 kph thunderbolt from Malik was stunning.
In today match Sri Lanka was surely out of the game in early part of the game while India give them mighty target of 374 which was surely too good for them even they have few good hitters but today in early overs Mohammad Siraj give them shocks and after these remaining batting line up completely fail to have any good fight for the target even Shanaka who completed his century was playing halfhearted because he was also understanding they can't win this match from here with few chances left and no proper batsman available for having good backup but still reaching above 300+ was good effort from their batting line up.

Indian bowlers were at the top from the start as they have good target to defend but now Chahal is going out of the form for long time which is surely needed a good chance for the youngster, hopefully selectors will think about this in next matches.
2208  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: January 10, 2023, 05:35:23 PM
India and Pakistan both are in same group but the bad thing is ODI format is selected for the tournament rather then T20. After seeing too much T20 tournaments it's very difficult to spare whole day for ODI. India is not willing to visit Pakistan, let's see what PCB says about this India boycott. We have Najam Sethi as chairman PCB and he is very much pro Indian.
Most chances things could be settled in Indian favour because right now peoples in Pakistan government wants good relationship with India, so they will accept all things which are helpful for having some positive improvement in this way and Jay Shah who is president of ACC is already lobbying for the Asian Cup to be moved from Pakistan into neutral place will be happy with this all and Pakistan surely going to visit for the World Cup as well because they are not going to lose a big share of the fund from ICC which is possible only if Pakistan will tour India for the world cup which is going to play in October.

Even they are already selected this as ODI format, but they need to change this all for the better future because now things changing very quickly and this change surely bring positive impact on the game for the region and many other countries which are looking for having something positive in this game as well.
2209  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: January 10, 2023, 01:23:22 PM
PSG vs Bayern Munich is a big UEFA Champion League match that takes place in the knock out stage among other matches in my opinion although other matches also have nuances that are not much interesting.

PSG is eager to win the UEFA Champion League for the first time after only being able to achieve runner-up in the 2019-2020 season. The amount of money spent will certainly pay off if Mbappe, Neymar, Messi and friends are able to lift the trophy.
Their challenge is tough because Bayern Munich is not an easy opponent to beat.
Even we have too many big matches in this knock out round but things looking interesting because in this season PSG having good chance to win title even still this all is too early with few big names are also having good intention of the title race but Messi, Neymar and Mbappé are having good time with their performance and their unit is also giving them good results which are giving some advantage to them for the title race.

Bayern Munich is also suffering due to injuries, and they are trying to have suitable replacements which is not easy for them but things looking not good which is clearly good for the PSG if they fail to have good result in this season then surely things could be worst for the management of PSG, or maybe we will have few changes in all system of PSG as well.
2210  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Are Players Going To Trust Casinos If They Don't Show Solid Evidence on: January 09, 2023, 09:56:31 PM
Depending on the money involved in the dispute you should get a lawyer to fight for your claims. In case you won ten of thousands of Dollars at a casino and there is a dispute then you should go in front of the court to get it settled, as long as the claims are valid of course. Screenshots are not really proofs to be honest, in today's time everything can be faked. I am not really familiar with cheating in casino games, can this be done really or did the person just violate their terms of service? Bug exploit could be one thing, but this is probably also limited in the ToS. As long as you stick to the casino games and play them truthfully there shouldn't be an issue and your lawyer should be able to proof that.
That's the problem with gambling, if you live in a nation where you are not going to get anything like gambling being legal and such, then you can't sue anyone for not paying your gambling profits neither. So for example, if I gamble somewhere and they steal my money? I have to just accept and move on.

This is why I never have a lot of money in any casino, worst case scenario they won't pay my winning, but no casino could take away my money, I won't deposit a lot, they could freeze my account and all they would get would be a small amount. That huge type of win may not be paid out, and that's bad, but all I could do is show everyone online how they did not paid, and ruin their reputation.
2211  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin - what price would you sell? on: January 09, 2023, 09:26:59 PM
It's not about the price for me, it's about how I feel about crypto at that point. It just means that if I could sell and live a good life then I would sell it, that just makes a lot more sense. If I need to sell to pay for something urgently then I would sell in that case as well because I have to and not because I want to. Aside from both of that, I do not think that I would sell, I will hold no matter what the price is.

Going down or up doesn't matter to me, either I have to sell it, or I already have enough money because those are the only two reasons that makes sense to me. I believe that if enough people did that, we would be a lot higher right now.
2212  Economy / Gambling / Re: Punt.com | Win $100,000! | #1 Crypto Casino | Instant Withdrawals! ✅ | 24/7 Rain on: January 09, 2023, 09:06:51 PM
Just checked your chatroom and I see that the last 3 rains gave $0.1 for 1 user only. Does it mean that the rain is limited to 1 user only? Talking about the requirement which is only to chat, I guess sooner or later there will be too much spam in the chat room especially if the amount of the rain is increased or more users are eligible for every rain. Of course it is good as a start to make people active in chat but you need to think about the possibility of spam message in the chatroom due to people try to catch the rain.
I agree, it is a good addition for sure, but there need to be some requirements (like wagering reguirement or a certain vip level) as otherwise spam will flood the chat. Every casino has its own requirements but I do hope there will also be a good moderation!
On some casinos they have moderators in the chat. They also programmed the rainbot to not give out rains to the spammers or those who are obviously chatting only to get rains. Apart from it is they have set a wagering requirement.

Some are high as 3k USD per week in order to be eligible. This seems crazy high already for someone who is only a small gambler so it's also kinda biased or unfair somehow even though not all small gamblers are only after the rains but they are also playing and chatting genuinely. So, I hope this one here punt will not overly set their requirements up to the highest level but just do it at the right level so that they can attract a lot of customers.
2213  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [POLL] Using AI to predict outcomes on: January 09, 2023, 08:40:06 PM
I think the reason why we have a lot of people saying no to AI betting is the fact that there are absolutely no examples of it anywhere. Think about it this way, if there was a single AI bot, branded and promoted by a lot of people, with proof of their bets BEFORE the bet and then it happens and the results etc. Would people still say No? Of course not, they would say yes a lot and that brand would sell a bunch of those AI bots to people.

However, as we all can imagine, it is futile because neither it would work, but also it would not be possible to sell it to people, like just buy one and then whatever it says, freely give it away to people.

The more achievements a person has, the more critics / envious people he has. The most recent example is Ronaldo - one of the greatest athletes in history, but if you read sports forums in recent months, you would think that he is the embodiment of evil and in sports "accidentally passed by" and has no achievements. Envious people do not like ambitious people - the previous case is Mourinho, who was not silent for every word against himself, but spoke in response, from which the priests of the haters burned with a bright flame  Grin
Zidane is also a bright personality and he acts according to his desires and not the image or something else - this annoys a lot of people.
Zidane is surely one of the best in his business for the France and Real Madrid as well even he achieves good success in club level for Real Madrid as coach just because of this he was expecting to have something as French national coach but look like things are not going favorable for him, so hopefully he will have better options in near future with something better as he already rejected few offers like PSG coach and USA national team coach which was surely big opportunity for this legendary player, but he has plans which needs more time for having better things for his future.

Zidane is one of the brightest personalities in sporting history, and he has never been involved in any disrespectful act like FFF president doing because he wants some social media attention, which is surely a cheap way for having things like this.
2215  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: January 09, 2023, 05:21:21 PM
Almería vs Real Sociedad between these two teams, Almería had a very bad performance. I lost this match with a bet. I bet with Almería support but Almería lost this match by 2 goals. Real Sociedad showed a great game. They scored 2 goals before halftime. After that  Almería could not score any more goals. Almería players received 1 yellow cards in the entire game.
In terms of statistics and performance this season you should also be aware that choosing Almeria in this match is wrong because this is tantamount to making a bet based solely on luck 90 minutes because regardless of anything they lost to Soicedad even before the game started.
Real Sociedad's performance is still very good this season and that is evidenced by their series of 3 consecutive wins and being in the top 4 positions.
Almeria is unpredictable side, and they are having not good defense which helps them to do good performance against team like Real Sociedad which is doing amazing job in this season which allow them to have third spot in league table most chances they could be able to hold the nerve and stay at this spot for the good time because no other team is capable of giving them challenge here with Atlético Madrid is having poor season and Athletic Bilbao and Betis are also trying their best for having good results, but things are looking not easy for them.

Today we have another very entertaining match where Athletic Bilbao will host Osasuna which is also doing good job in this season but after break having bad time with first lost against Real Sociedad and now having challenge like Athletic Bilbao.
2216  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: January 09, 2023, 12:59:02 PM
If there is a match between India and Pakistan, the cricket world will get a new life. These two Asian countries are currently in the leading position in cricket. I believe Asian cricket will benefit the most if these two teams are friendly and not jealous of each other. Maybe they know these things but they are far away because of their arrogance. They are never seen together except an international event and I highly doubt it will ever return to its former position. The distance between India and Pakistan has not been increased by the people of the two countries rather then the politicians who have increased the distance politically.
But we all know that India and Pakistan are never going to work together. And if these do actually work together, even ICC will find things easy to generate a lot of revenue. But there is no point talking about it because as you said, the arrogance is just too much for the people in power in both countries. They can easily host a bilateral series between these two teams.

Do you know what is going to generate the most amount of revenue? India versus Pakistan series is being hosted by Pakistan. But India is not going to do that. Because India really believes that if they play against Pakistan, they will be giving Pakistan a platform that they do not want to give.
Here in Pakistan vs India case ICC can't do anything because we all know things are surely positive for the India with they have the biggest party and ICC never wants to hurt them as they are the biggest beneficiary from this market they have no solid policy and better view about the future of this game, so they are just going as India is manipulating this all for their own sack currently just one thing promote to twenty format which will bring good changes and many countries in this game, and then we can expect good entertainment and few changes as well.

But right now, any positive development is not possible specially while India never wants to give any soft corner to Pakistan due to their domestic politics specially you have Jay Shah as Secretary as BCCI who is son of Amit Shah who is home minister, working all in politics against Pakistan and other controversial things.

Now, we are free and clear to go up. I know it's not going to be easy to handle, it's going to be very very difficult to make sure you go up, but it's not going to be that much of an easy task to handle neither, it's going to be pretty tough to handle.

I believe that the best thing to do would be making profit based on how you could continue down this road, and knowing what we know, it's going to be hard to not go up this year, because it has been over a year since the drop and we are all waiting for that bull run. When the market is waiting for a bull run, it goes on a bull run because nobody is selling since they worry if they do, and bull comes, they will miss out.

Never seek for replacement when it is about Bitcoin mate , try to believe in the benefits of Bitcoin .
you can add some but never take big part from your Bitcoin holding .
Buy more and more Bitcoin but only bring small amount to altcoins , this will keep your funds safely for long term .
Keep your mind up for the top coin  mate .
This is how portfolio needs to be created. The bitcoin holding needs to be big against the buying of altcoins. If you spend $70 buying bitcoin, spending $30 seems to be fair. It is evident that some altcoins give better ROI against bitcoin. For the same we can't be sure of the growth whereas the same will be assured with bitcoin.

I don't find any altcoins to spend, but my choice will be on low price altcoins within the top 100 list. With altcoin investment we need to be close observing, if not we might end up missing opportunities which is hard to come again.
Did I hear it right that altcoins can give a better ROI than in Bitcoin? HHmm I am not sure if I can agree with that. Maybe they only focus on the current status of BTC but they didn't calculate right at the beginning when BTC is still valued at under a cent. Can any altcoin start from zero up to 69k dollars?

I never seen one yet but the only crypto that can do that so far is Bitcoin. A lot of people think that altcoins can increase faster than in BTC. They only focus on the gains but they didn't knew that altcoins that act like that are mostly pump and dump which later on can turned into a scam once the devs or the whales already trapped a lot of people inside it.

It is obvious that liberal economies are destined to be ruled by companies and that is what we are living right now. We can't have a government that is like a dictatorship and decides everything, and we can't have a government that doesn't meddle anything and companies make tens of billions of dollars in profit while people suffer. We need to find something in the middle and that is usually not that common and can't be found at all right now in the world.

As long as we let the world run like this and change nothing then we are not going to end up with anything good at all. We need to fix something before we expect it to get any better, and we are not fixing it right now.

There is still about 1 month left until we see the first leg matches in the UCL, that is, we cannot yet know which teams have the potential to advance to the next round, maybe at this time you can say that Chelsea is more favourite, but what about the next 2 or 3 weeks? We never know what will happen in the future, maybe Chelsea's important players will get injured later (before the first leg match against Borussia Dortmund). This also applies to other teams.

So, it would be a pointless discussion if we discussed this before the match was actually going to start (IMO).
Here I agreed with your all point we still have nearly one more month for this match with after break we have few changes in teams as well which are having impact on their performance as well so talking who is going to win is completely useless specially in current situation while Chelsea is also suffering badly after break with one lost and one draw mean they also need to fix few issues which are creating troubles for them in defense, and they are not able to have goals from their attackers as well which is also the biggest concern for them in this season.

Dortmund is out of the play as after 13th November they are on break and still have two weeks for their first game after break which will give some better view about their performance and strategy after break because they also need improvement for the better results at the end of this season.
