There are a lot of topic about martingale now, and I'm sure many of us employ their own version of Martingale,
This is my own version of Martingale it's actually time-consuming, but I'm not going to make a living in gambling I just want to be entertained and have some fun and I want to extend my enjoyment.
My strategy is I started off with 10 sats I just add or double my bet the next time if I lose so if I lose 5 straight and win on my 6th I started my bet again on the bottom.
My reason is I want to extend my funds so every time I regain my losses I just started my bet to the minimum again
I've done it over and over again and I can extend my funds for 3 to 4 hours sometimes I made money but I never make a withdrawal
I just call it a day and come back tomorrow with additional funds and a possible extension of time having fun.
This is indeed the classic martingale. Your starting amount is actually depended on the amount of coins you have. For a classic martingale to run, people generally have coins to manage 10 to 20 losses. But as people keep on wining for hours, they feel the starting bet is low and increases it bringing the number of loses you could cover down leading to bust of the strategy. |

Just sharing.
In 2018 there was an ICOs hype of enormous proportions. I sat down with a friend of mine who is well invested in BTC to select a number of ICOs to invest in. We went to far extent to short-list companies we will invest in. The idea was: we wanted to know how to buy into an ICO after all the pre-launch marketing hypes and discounts were happening, wee wanted to both: know how to and go though the process of investing, but at the same time he wanted to be sure he is not throwing money away, and that the companies he will invest in are solid.
Those were just the coins I was interested in. But I couldn't save myself as I went to buy some other coin which I believed was sure to succeed. Collected all my funds and spent on it. But it went negative just after I bought it. Similar is my case for many coins. I again reinvested them on several coins. Most of them still negative but bitcoin made some profit for me. Now I've again chose a well know coin (top 10 in CMC) and spent all my holdings to buy it. I hope, I'll have good news to share after few months. |

Any other links to prove it? I'm not a huge fan of John Mcafee either but he has some and coinpedia is a known scam promoting site. Coinpedia is a fake news site promoting fake news and shilling about scam ICOs. If something is just in Coinpedia and nowhere else, than it surely is fake. I know John Mcafee would promote for any small fees but I don't think he's as stupid to promote such cheap scams. |

The first currency to buy is the TNB. Because it is a novice, I missed many opportunities to get rich. I want to cry without tears. When TNB is $0.015, my friend asked me to buy it. I didn’t buy it. Later, 0.1453 When I entered the market, when I went up to $0.2906, I still didn't sell it. This time I won't miss it again.
I feel like I'm one of the people who missed a lot of opportunities. Bitcoin was just over $200 the time I started transacting it and I never looked it as a thing to hold. I transacted in and out BTC as it was a easier form of inter country payment. It hurts to see my coinbase transaction history. I also missed the Ripple and Ethereum rise calling them scam. Though I rode the Ethereum train late, I did made some profit from it. |

Sport betting is strange when it wants to be, it never a sure fact the impossibility can turn possible.
When booking a bet many bets on what the majority had placed before hand.
What am I saying betting site releases games for betting and gives an option where you see what others has selected and very often it's the one with the lower odd that people place bet on.
Last week Saturday was a Turing point for me as I refused to bet with majority(31-8-2019) and placed a draw on the match between osasuna and FC Barcelona. Most people would see it as an unwise decision but that's soccer the foolish thing can turn out to be wise.
How many times have you gone against the crowd and smiled to the bank
I mostly bet between x1.5 and x2.5 and consider anything above x3 a risky bet. I took that risk a few times mostly because it was my favorite team/player or it's my own home nation playing. Impressively, I have won a couple of them. One was a x11 while another was a x5. And on total I'm slightly in loss with that plain strategy. |

Do You think ICO Investing Is Worse Than Online Gambling? what do you think
On ICO investing you will have to wait for several months like 3 to 10 months before the ICO is finished and you'll wait to 2 to 3 months more to get the coin in the market and there's no guaranty that you will make a profit, majority of the coins coming from ICO are down 50 to 90% and that was over a year of waiting.
on online gambling, if you play your cards right like when you have control on when to stopped and you have built a strategy, you can win over and over again and you can withdraw your gains immediately
Blindly investing in an ICO is surely bad than online gambling. Online gambling is luck and most of them are provably fair. If you have a good amount, you could martingale it for quite a time and have fun winning or losing. ICO on the other hand would be a mundane way to lose your money if you haven't researched well. But a good studied investment would be safer and more rewarding than any form of online gambling. |

Exactly true. There are more than ten thousand coins tradeable at the moment. 1% of it makes up 100. And even I would not be able to name 100 different coins. With the rate of new coins not decreasing, people will forget most of it and the most of new ones in a decade time.
Only a few of this decade would effectively survive till the next one.

This is going to be a long airdrop. 1 year at least and you need to hold at least 10 BNB along the time. It could be difficult for a trader who earns on price fluctuations and I don't think it would be worth the effort if you consider the time.
But if you are into holding BNB than it surely is a bonus for you. BNB is performing well with this news and there soon could be next IEO in launchpad.

I really want Dimitrov or Medvedev to win US open this year.It's gets really boring when Nadal,Federer and Jokovic win everything.I can't predict what will happen,because I'm not an expert in tennis,but I would bet on Medvedev.Tall tennis players are the future of tennis(unfortunately).
I'm also rooting for him, I'm not really familiar with him but when he played and beat Wawrinka, I was like,, this player is legit and could be a champ this US open. Wawrinka beat Novak Djokovic which was suppose to be my bet to win this competition, I understand because the guy is playing with some injury so because Wawrinka beat my guy and Medvedev beat Wawrinka, I'm with him all the way. In womens US open, I'll support Williams to win, obviously since Osaka is out. Medvedev have been delivering good performance lately and luck has totally favored him this time. Though we could not underestimate the players like Dimitrov or Nadal, there are no big names in the semi finals this year. Nadal has always struggled in the grass court. Not only we be seeing a new US Open champion, Medvedev could be the next tennis champion and replace the likes of Djokovich and Federer. |

It has always been more interesting to me to observe the Chinese cryptocurrency than the Facebook coin. I think China will come to world domination in the field of cryptocurrencies. The Chinese economy is very strong and their financial capabilities and goals will lead them to success.
Chinese have a great potential but their society and economy still is a very closed one. The Chinese government would need much more effort and money just to maintain it's power over the population in coming decade. China has a lot of blockchain developers and experts but they can't work freely in their own country. Chinese are one of the largest investor for bitcoin and other crypto as they don't trust their government with their money. |

Another reason here is the limited resources of exchanges. Exchanges are one of the most stressed websites both in traffic and working of the exchange software. If allowed to transact low, there could be millions of requests of insignificant amount that would act as a DDOS for the exchange software raising the activity without any proper profit for the exchange.

Finally, most projects present blockchain as a pill for every malady. But does it really make sense for that particular industry? Is it possible to implement the same project without a native token? Is blockchain tech a decisive factor in the final product’s infrastructure, or it could work pretty much the same without all those distributed ledgers and smart contracts? Does it really disrupt anything but your patience for the word ‘disruption?’
Blockchain is a huge field and collecting funds for a project using tokens in blockchain is just a small part of it. There are indeed other ways of collecting funds and making projects happen but blockchain provides an easier and transparent way of collecting and using funds. Though there are numbers of scam, we cannot call the practice bad when multiple of projects have benefited from it. Again there are still many other ways of building a project or collecting funds and they'd always remain. The investors too would always have a choice. |

Does anybody uses Brave? If so can you tell me how and when BAT token distribution for it's users is rumored to appear?
Brave itself is not a bad browser but it has tough competition from the enterprise level of chrome and the open source powerhouse of mozilla. Many people just adopted brave for it's reward program and it did aggressively advertised itself through every channels. But the users who went in brave for the reward were disappointed by the numbers and strategy of BAT token distribution. Brave and BAT are an integral part of each other and a failure of other would affect the another one. The failure of both is making this system go down. |

Is it important to research the whitepaper in the project? then is there a right way to find out if their whitepapper is real, not fake? What do you think?
Studying the whitepaper of a project would reveal many things about the project and their credibility. Firstly, you'll know about the effort put on, a scam would have a poorly developed whitepaper with many grammatical errors and plagiarism. Searching some random phrases and viewing the IDs of the team may reveal if they are plagiarised. Secondly, you'll have a good idea about tokenomics and how the project aims to deliver and know about the roadmap. |

Arbitrage betting do works and many of the gambling sites and bookkeepers are okay with Arbitrage betting.
The only catch here is the profit as compared to the funds is very low. The profit is mostly below 1% and there are other risks involved.
Another issue is there is no surety about an open arbitrage window everyday and if you don't act quick, you may lose the arbitrage.
There are other factors like withdrawal fees of the exchange.

And to add up, they are popular for running a number of inhouse ponzi and still have listed some dead coins.
They have a limit for normal users while they make up fake transactions of any size to make the market of a certain coin pump or dump.
Personally I have no issues with Yobit except their withdrawal fees for some coins are very high.

You need to apply for the IEO and fill their built in forms. After you do that, they'll have a look at your project and mail you and you have to deal for the listing. Most of them don't specify a fee and depends on the deal you make. The better your work on whitepaper, website and tokenomics, better are you chances of getting a cheap deal. If your preparations are insufficient, popular exchanges would not even respond you back. |

Anyway, next match against Burnley. Away match but I predict we are going to win by 2+ goals margin. To be precised I would say 3 -1 win for Liverpool.
I also feel it will be a 3-1 or 4-1. Burnley have some stubborn chap in the forward position who can provide them atleast a goal, Ashley Barnes, He has score 4 goals in the last 3 games and doesn't seem likely to stop soon. Liverpool Centre backs will have to be extra alert on him. Liverpool have a good trend the last few match, of course winning is the main goal to strengthen their position at the top of the table. choosing Liverpool to win does have a small odds, choosing -0.5 goals for liverpool is not a bad idea  Burnley too has a good trend and it's the home ground for it. And it's not the time the top teams dominate over every teams in the league. Liverpool needs to make a good effort for win. Chelsea too would need a fight to win over Sheff. A lose could even threaten their position in the division. Spurs vs Arsenal would be another match to follow as it may pave the way for top 5s. |
