Does such service have to include "Live Streaming" your betting activities on a Live Bet?  I searched for this, what I found is probably paid service.
Something like that will likely be possible (maybe as separate screen recording app) for mobile phone.. The problem is whether it can be done this way without violating betting sites rules. Beside, the app will probably need to be social app or/and can stream to social sites.

Very unlikely, maybe there are some senior or premier teams that allow women to play together but the pilot doesn't feel like it will work because no other team has followed that way. Indeed, this is a form of gender equality but I don't think this kind of move would be right, what if there are parts that are accidentally touched, will it be a form of harassment in sports? There are already many women's leagues running, is that still not enough? So I think, not all things have to be done simultaneously, because there is still a chance for women to get a special women's league and that's enough for gender equality. Instead of women playing ball at the same time as men, why not the other way around like men playing with women in the women's league? lol

If it's a Male Team, then mixing both sexes in such Team won't be a good idea. I guess they could do  the mixing in some sort of mixed Team (Male & Female Team) . This will help in formulating rules that are suitable for Mixed Team.

My first time of knowing about his disappearing. I hear alot about the name but don't know much about him. Is the confiscation a fact or just based on speculation?
Well, I doubt I will hide my bitcoin from governments that won't lawlessly or unjustly confiscate it
2344  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are stablecoins based on trust? on: January 11, 2021, 04:12:19 PM
I think a proper stablecoin would need to be tied to the price of asset it's backed by. The non-backed ones (like those controlled algorithmically) can always have fixed price range that buyers and sellers automatically stick to. I honestly wouldn't trust a stablecoin if it doesn't have strong and transparent mechanism that guarantee stability as long as possible.

 
2345  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you ever bet on SRL events? on: January 11, 2021, 02:30:56 PM
Don't get overkill by these SRL games, you're chances to win against computer programs is very slim.

If we are into these games, don't make things to be serious but rather consider this just for fun. It probably the results are already been calculated and manipulated, you can't make yourself confident about your bet as it was possible the computer system catch you and get your money.

I really don't trust SRL events but rather to put them into real games.

Has nobody been able to defeat the computer program before? I assumed if you have the talents/skills  you will be able to defeat it.   By the way, that will likely involve alot of experience or learning of how the program works in order to come up with strategies to defeat it.
2346  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Attention: Biden has officially won, make sure your sportsbook pay you. on: January 11, 2021, 02:13:12 PM
I did not participate in the election bet, but here is my opinion on the matter , you can't claim anyone has won when the result is been contested and hasn't been transparently verified, with the both candidates agreeing to the verified results. Breaking of rules, rigging, etc could easily disqualified affected results.

We are in Crypto World.
"Don't Trust but Verify" is compatible with Crypto/Blockchain ideals. So I would keep waiting as long as possible until full, transparent audit is carried out and both candidates are satisfied with the results of the audits.
Results should be treated as untrustworthy until verification is concluded. That's what will make it fair and acceptable to both candidates/stakeholders.
2347  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: LONG COIN based on blockchain honest LOTTERY on: January 11, 2021, 01:53:23 PM
Interesting. 
I wonder if anyone has been able to guess the last 5 or win the jackpot.

Quote
For example, the hash of block 320,000 was 00000000000003334ec385f285ec04ebfddfdcb611f6959c9d1bca467453a433  hash, the winning combination is 3 a 4 3 3 And if you matched all 5 out of 5 numbers in this order, you would win the jackpot. For example, a ticket with a prediction abc33 guessed 2 numbers out of 5. And ticket 1a43f guessed 3 numbers out of 5.

In the above example at the bolded part, I guess abc33 and 1a43f qualify for  x2 and  x1000 wins then, right?

What Blockchain is this based on by the way? Called "Long Blockchain"?
2348  Other / Off-topic / Disinformation, and the hiding of real evidence in the Sea of fakes that are similar to the real on: January 10, 2021, 04:10:52 PM
Internet Disinformation, and the hiding of real evidence in the Sea of fakes that are similar to the Real.

I don't want to say much on this yet, but here is an example of what I'm trying to talking about:

Example:
I post a solid proof of a crime scene on the internet for the government and public to take action on. Those caught in the act in the video start posting altered version of the real video with lots fakes and doctored information in the video... The public, government, and other important personalities unknowingly start sharing the fakes along with the real, this is then used by the accused in the video as a proof that all the videos presented by the accusers are untrustworthy and fakes. And the real and authentic video is affected by the fakes and may nolonger be trusted in the court.


There has to be ways to mitigate this dangerous way of disinformation and weakening of the real evidence.
2349  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and Pizza... on: January 08, 2021, 04:26:27 PM
Kind of remind of a Black and white TV a family member bought over 20 years ago for fiat value that can't buy a cheap bathroom slippers today. He also owned a bus that would cost maybe $10 then.
People like the pizza guy would probably regret selling that much coins for pizza while my family member would probably think it's  better he didn't save the TV fiat money long-term.
2350  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do you deal with 'Selling early' regrets? on: January 08, 2021, 03:47:29 PM
One of the easiest ways I'd deal with this is to spread my funds between holding longterm and regular trading. If my trading funds misses a bull run, my long-term fund benefits. The last thing you'll want to do as a trader is to be consumed with regrets during trading.
2351  Other / Off-topic / Re: The precautions of New crown vaccine on: January 08, 2021, 10:38:45 AM
Is that the name of the vaccine (New Crown vaccine) or you just gave it the title?

Are you well informed about the vaccine?
What is the likelihood of those without the history of the issues you described having dangerous side effects from the vaccine?
Does it have any side effect? How small/big is the side effect(if any)?
2352  Other / Off-topic / Re: The Holy Bible is the only book that gives a trusted idea of what will happen in USA on: January 08, 2021, 10:01:21 AM
I am sorry but the Holy Bible doesn't know everything. It's a very old book and times have changed. We shouldn't worry too much about what others want from us. We should live our own life for your own happiness and not to please a higher order.

Bible does not contain everything... not really does not know everything.

Well, I think it's important to care about what others want from you and try to please them or make them happy. I wonder who can build a great and harmonious society or company without pleasing others with good things. By the way, you can't please GOD without pleasing your fellow humans.
And It's for our good that it's important to please the CREATOR of this World.



The Holy Bible actually made me a better person. I used to be "blind and dumb" without it. You can hardly understand it without GOD helping you to understand it. It's cryptic to those who haven't been given the keys to understand it

 
2353  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🔮 Futuur - Predict the Future! 🔮 on: January 08, 2021, 09:31:01 AM
Unique concept but its not new, sometimes people do this with their friends and families. Future betting is definitely a concept in gambling that haven’t been seen that much in gambling platforms, finally this platform made it formal and more organised compare to what we traditionally do.

The concept may not be new. Prediction is always the game in betting. You try to bet on whichever you think will come out. But what is new with Futuur is that it offers questions which are nowhere to be found on other prediction and betting platforms.

To give you an example, can you bet on the question whether or not humans will find evidence of life outside earth in other platforms? I don't think so. That's unique to Futuur.

I think the problem is the incomplete understanding of what Betting/Prediction Market really is. The understanding will likely help people make more discoveries of what is possible (and useful) in the betting world. It's simply about predicting, guessing, betting on the "right unknowns". It doesn't have to be dangerous or unsafe.


In game of prediction I don't find any sides about its no dangerous or unsafe since we don't know the result and we are just guessing the future so the risk to lose is high as well that makes it dangerous for us to lose our money, But we have different understanding about this kind of game so maybe we will have a different opinion about this.

What's important is to lessen risk for people. People could reduce risk by betting with small amount or betting with what they can afford to lose/risk, or by gaining skills to be profitable bettors, Or you could make the bettors benefit in other ways, not necessarily financially.
 It's important to drastically reduce the likelihood of customers getting badly affected by their betting activities


2354  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you rely on the odds when placing bets? on: January 08, 2021, 09:09:42 AM
~And it's obvious that odds will change during a game because there's live game betting and odds will be based on what's happening in a certain match.
~

Betting on the events "In-play" is one of my fav thing to do. The odds are changing quickly, and you can make a good bet if you do it in the right time.  Wink

And most especially if you are watching the game, in play betting is quite very attractive for people who have a lot of time to focus on the games they are betting, and for me, I've done that sometimes and the result is positive per my observation.

I thought about similar idea before (in play betting?) never knew it exist. I wonder if it's exactly what I think it is... more like predicting/betting on the every potential move, action or result of teams during a match. It'll be an interesting way to bet.

2355  Economy / Gambling / Re: Wixiplay.io is rigged | one in ten million session | fake PF on: January 08, 2021, 08:47:51 AM
The probability of winning 199 or fewer out of 523 is 8.9696e-8, or about one in ten million.

Wondering if you expected the probability to be higher or lower, considering you said the chances of winning 523coin flips is 49.5%. The chances is almost 50%, but (in reality?) the probability of winning 199 of that seem really low. I assume both words(chances and probablity) are somewhat synonymous. I sometimes interchange them.
2356  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to take BITCOIN profit without selling? on: January 07, 2021, 06:11:00 PM
You mean like taking profit without selling your initial investment? Example, you invest $1000 and it increase to $1200, you sell $200 and leave the $1000 Intial investment?
Or you mean not selling atall, like subtracting profit from Intial investment and sending the profit to another wallet you control?
2357  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: An investigative report: YouTube channels doing bitcoin scams on: January 07, 2021, 04:45:51 PM
The scams are actually shameful to watch, not just because they are scams but due to how easily they thrive on such big sites. Those are the kind of things that damage the reputation of crypto.

Hopefully, such issues could be addressed at our own side, possibly through tagging of addressess linked to such scams... so that people who wish to send or receive coins from them can be warned
2358  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Discussion on: January 07, 2021, 04:13:25 PM
Advice them to avoid investing what they can't afford to risk.  
Better to invest small portion of your money in Bitcoin than spend it on unprofitable/unhealthy things like junk foods, drunkenness,  unnecessary things etc. I think this is one of the most sensible and less risky ways to get people invest without worrying too much about their blames if things don't work out fine for them.
2359  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Help a newbie out with the market on: January 07, 2021, 10:57:48 AM
You want to be short-term or long-term trader/investor, or both?
I think it's safer to invest in established and well decentralized coins with reasonable safety records (like Bitcoin). 
You could invest parts of your fund longer-term and use other part for buying dips and selling high (if you choose to sell high).
I would advice you only invest what you can afford to risk.
2360  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is there any insurance service for gamblers to retain heavy losses....??? on: January 07, 2021, 10:15:39 AM
That is an interesting concept. Having insurance for gambling money. My question I think on this, my only question really is how does the company profit from this? There is really nothing to lose if such a company will be setup. Then do most in enticing gamblers to gamble and make sure that they win and not lose. I think if they pay a fee , a very big fee then that would ensure that the business will survive. Good luck setting it up.
I do not see how a profit could be made out of this unless gamblers gave their houses as collateral to the insurance company, which would speed up the demise of any savings they may have but even that could not be enough for an insurance company because as we know you can get easy credit everywhere and it is possible a gambler could rake up gambling debts higher than the value of their homes, so this is a concept that I do not see working no matter what.
This is what people been saying on this thread about insurance company profitability which is impossible for it to be tied up into this industry.
If we do try to balance or check out regarding gambling losers' and insurance claims then it isn't a sustainable business.So theres no point for this
thing to insert out into this industry.Lots would really be claiming but those premiums wont really be that on typical amount that you
would be paying just like into those normal insurances that you've known.



The main problem with the idea is that it will be hard for any company to insure people who intentionally take big risk. It's not a sustainable thing to do, especially if they are habitual big risks takers.
It will however be possible to insure bettors who are responsible and/or are consistently profitable.
