Just stick with reputable sites that have a long history of fair gaming.   You can find information and reviews right here on the Bitcointalk Forums. New Gambling sites may be questionable so it's best to only gamble with a small amount at first to test out their casino.


You can always use this forum as basis in finding game site where you can comfortably play your game, there's a lots of game house and we can't generalized if all of them are fair or if there's something like a game fixed site, its much better to play where you can find peace of mind and nothing
to doubt while playing the said type of enjoyment.

The problem is how can you control people's mindset, yeah you can endorse them that gambling can be possibly a source of fun and they can use it to spare time, but considering that gambling is also an addicting form of vices no one can control what inside other peoples capabilities handling such thing, well if you are willing to take the responsibilities when someone you know got addicted and burned everything inside  gambling activity, for sure you don't want that to happen better to kept this inside you.
2363  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't worry, Bitcoin will be fine. on: August 05, 2018, 06:02:02 AM
from the expereince in the graph history it look nice, i hope that right now the price of bitcoin is in the low and maybe in the future bitcoin price can increase more and more until $20000 again like the end of past 2017
New height still possible to achieve, no one knows when that things will happen but since there's already a lots of bitcoin followers and holders we are now waiting for the new bounce, this certain downfall is another test for holders and panic sellers, if they can resist this and continue to hang on then it will break out and we will expect the bull run, just patiently hold and invest more.

Embiid has always been a bit too much type of guy but unfortunately no matter how good he gets and how awesome he plays he will never be MVP levels of good. The game just evolved away from the big guy and there is no way it comes back thanks to embiid. Embiid is a great force down in the post but the game is just too quick to allow embiid to have the time he needs to play with the ball.

Shaq had that hakeem had that all the big greats had that, they didn't had the game fire too quickly in the shot clock. We need to see a way of changing the way sixers play and whole league needs to not adapt to what sixers are doing in order to even put Embiid on the discussion. Right now we had a russell westbrook who made a second tripple double season in a row that lost to james harden on mvp race. Winning mvp is that much hard.

Yes I agree that the game has evolved and its more focus on shooting on the outside rather that giving the ball on the middle and let the Center get inside, and if he is trap, or double team, pass the ball outside. Now, its the other way around, and more of a alley hoop pass to the Center. That's why is difficult for Sixers and Joel to win a championship at this level of competition. Team should have a deadly shooter like Curry, or Harden, or a big guard/forward like Lebron is. Look at what happened to Anthony, wasn't able to re-invent himself that's why he is no longer the player we expect him to be.
Sad but true, the game play are now focus with big three's and easy shot outside, it's no longer the mighty MJ and the dominance of shaq attack, it's the battle of shooters and big time moments like Curry and KD, embiid though really wanted to shows his ability but there's a lots of superstars which we really seeing steeping up before him, if he wanted to prove that he can be an MVP he need to shine from this season and really work even harder to contribute and make him on top from the rest of stars inside the league.
2365  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What makes an altcoin valueable? on: August 04, 2018, 01:34:14 AM
I think the core factor which makes an altcoin valuable is its popularity. It means the number people accept it as a main transaction payment.
That is not true, popularity is important but how the coin is going to get popular in the first place? If the coin is used just to speculate then it is never going to become popular, the coin needs to solve some problems if it does not and it is just another copy then what it is stopping people from buying the original coin and avoid all the coins which are copies of the original?
Both are needed, popularity to start the spark and attract more investors while project or usage that can be usable in the long run making the value make even more expensive, the more people that used the coin the more hype that it can bring to its value, we need to research and analyze how the project will be usable in the long run and what particular area this particular coin can penetrate and succeed.

Good read mate. And this is really happening out there to many people who got buddies that are degenerate gamblers as well. But as we all know, if we'll gonna learn something from life, that is you need to learn things first by your OWN experience for you to really ponder what's the lesson that you really need to learn. You need to experience utter defeat and loss to value your money more. Thanks for sharing the very important experience that you have as a gambler and hopefully, many will get something out of it.  Wink
The essence of reading is to learned and use it as basis, though own experiences is far differ from what we read, as we can easily say that it can never happen as we won't allow it, but the reality is we can't avoid it if you are already in this situations, nice share mate for more inexperience gamblers
should learn from this thread.
2367  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does hard work in gambling count? on: August 03, 2018, 03:41:39 AM
It will base on the luck of every player, there is no need to be hardworking in gambling it will result to addiction and it will not give you good effect, i think we should need to avoid gambling if you want to secure your money, much better to invest or be hard working in trading those method could gives you good profit.
Much better to invest that time in gaining more knowledge to a different venture, gambling is an addicting vices so engaging too much will ends you up being full of stressed even you spent more time gambling owners still got the high chances defeating you, you can deal with trading and take the risk
with much higher chances to gain if you will be keen gaining more knowledge to place your positions.
2368  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Where do these Jumps in value come from in altcoins on: August 02, 2018, 03:10:56 AM
If you have seen these types of jumps recently I would have to agree with everyone else and say it's a pump and dump scheme.  Coins will pump on solid news.  They will also pump when new money enters the market. 
Aside from whales, new investors can also hype the value of certain coins, if there's an ongoing updates and the target progress has been delivered, the coin value will rise a little then investors needs to wait if that will continue or another bagholders will play and dumped with his holdings, inside crypto
a lots of influenced can be the reason how project increase its value we need to take a lots of time to learned the skills of finding good news.
2369  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Pre-Season on: August 01, 2018, 10:54:16 AM
I read somewhere that Anthony will be Rockets' third option in offense. How come he is better option in offense than Gordon lol? You can compare Gordon with him, Gordon is way over Carmelo's league.
Gordon is better in shooting but not an all around shooter, the length and the strength of melo is a difference maker.
Well, we cannot conclude now, what I am saying is just based on their past performance, if Melo will step up, then for sure Rockets has a chance to be the number 1 in the west again.

Melo stepping up? How? He can't even carry a team now. I will choose Gordon over melo even with their high difference, though melo had the advantage but the heart of Gordon is way bigger than him.
If he continues to the rockets, he would have less ball time knowing he has Chris Paul and James Harden as a teammate. Knowing that last season, he didn't get well with George and Westbrook and had a low scoring point and shorter time during the Playoffs. As I have read in an article.
The good thing with CP3 and Harden they both have good dribbling capabilities and knows how to past the ball well, unlike George and Westbrook which both wanted to score, Melo still have chance proving his skills if given a chance we can't deny that he still got the shooting skills and still can nail a big time shot, it's really an excited season  to watch out.
2370  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin situation on: August 01, 2018, 09:30:29 AM
If we look at present situation then it will clear that bitcoin is growing again and soon we will see that bitcoin is the topper of all other currencies and it is true that bitcoin era is started and it will never end up while if we say that we can hold a good amount for future with  out any worry we can hold it
It's best to hold in terms of investment, as bitcoin already gain a lots of attention worldwide the outcome for those who can wait will be far better as fuds will continue to showed and keep shaking the market, better to still being patience and make yourself comfortable when everything went to its high peak
play well and always prepare yourself in any types of changes that happen.
For those newbies, learn from your mistake just in case you been move and sell out to panic, start reading and do a hard research to learned more and deeper idea on how to invest properly.
2371  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Cryptocurrency is gradually spreading on: August 01, 2018, 08:26:02 AM
Yess.... Cryptocurrency has really gone wide and it still gaining popularity day by day.... There are countries where crypto has been legalized... You stand to  make  cool cash through crypto investment... Crypto has transformed so many people's Destiny. Study it well and how it operates, with crypto there is no limit to how rich u can be....
the core of the development of crypto currency is in the hands of the united states, if the country legalizes the crypto currency will be widespread and known to people all over the world.
Nope I know that US government legalizes bitcoin. but that does not mean they will promote bitcoin and become a medium for bitcoin.
I know that it also helps spread bitcoin. but not dependent on US hands. the spread of bitcoin occurs from many places
It should be that way, we should not focus in one place alone but to spread it out and make more people to be well aware about this system,
there's a lots of countries who can also build a strong position in terms of adopting this chain, global adoptions will really make this system
succeed its an individual effort to make more new investors to join the market.
2372  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Who Agrees with Me? on: August 01, 2018, 05:22:59 AM
So I started noticing a pattern.
Everytime the market goes to the moon, the down trend lasts for a several weeks. Meaning, only when Bitcoin it's going to be at it's highest, the altcoins are going to be at the lowest point.
Then, the money from Bitcoin will start going to the Altcoins, making them going up even more.

Have you noticed the same thing?
I do not really pay attention to it that I understand is the unstable price change it is one of the risks in investing with cryptocurrency with it I remain confident investment with any cryptocurrency
Sometimes we also needed to use the previous movements into considerations, reviewing the flow and how things behave inside the market will allow us to assess much better, experience traders buy before the news and hold it till the news start to spread out then sell after some fomo's showed up taking the profits even in a small fractions, just needed to learned how to play well and create your own strategy.
2373  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Knowledge is the foundation on: July 31, 2018, 04:53:12 AM
Yes, encrypted money markets are cruel.
So if you don't have the expertise, there's a good chance you'll lose money, so I recommend that everyone who enters the cryptocurrency market knows enough.
Yes I believe to this . Knowledge is the main foundation o success . You will not committ success if you are not that knowledgeable to your actions and your plans as well .
This is true , cause when you run out of knowledge you may ever have to think out of the best way that you may ever have to do with but having some knowledge a better way of making decision are could be your best way of being the strong foundation that you may have for.
Knowing what you are doing is very important specially when dealing with investment, you can comfortably keep those valuable coins if you know and understand the project, with knowledge about the system all about, you won't be moved by any circumstances that only brought by fuds, the will to
enhance your knowledge and the capability of learning the importance of every information that you can gathered while investing and playing inside
crypto business.
2374  Economy / Economics / Re: Reason we pay taxes and why we should on: July 31, 2018, 04:23:05 AM
I agree with your statement, the reason that we need to pay taxes is to build public facilities that we use everyday every day like roads, bridges, etc., if we do not pay taxes, from where the government can build the facility?
Same thing just adding also that taxes pays the salary of government employees, those who are making the laws and serving to protect the countries, without taxes there's no chance that those people will work without any compensations, there's no charity works anymore especially when it's a daily
responsibilities like those who are in  the security agencies.
2375  Economy / Gambling / Re: Pornhub Casino now accepting bitcoin and many other cryptocurrency! ph.casino on: July 31, 2018, 03:26:06 AM
Very well said SamanthaRyan, they accept Bitcoin and many other cryptos
But the thing you forgot to say is that you will NEVER be able to withdraw your funds from their site
I did deposit about 50 bucks to check their site out but I found it so damn unfair site and placed an Account Verification, in order to be able to withdraw the funds I still had.. and guess what? I am for about 3 weeks waiting for them to verify it when their own site says that the process should not take more than 8 working days
Not to mention the several emails I sent them and never had a single reply
So, honestly, stay away from that scam site.




Pornhub is a pretty established website however.. how can that be that they run a scam?

I don't think its a scam but many are calling it a scam due to the way they handle the KYC process.

Most people are accustomed with Bitcoin casinos to not have any KYC practises, especially as of yet.

Eventually however if BTC becomes more and more popular then the practices like this will become more and more standard.

This is no different to the way that Bittrex and Poloniex were forced to do mandatory KYC even on Legacy accounts. People's money was tied up during the verification process which sometimes took months to complete.
Exactly, those exchange site required people to verified their identity and as far as we knew pornhub might be trying to run an established business that will run for longer time, we just need to embrace changes in terms of business owners facilitation, it's their owned preposition so players need to comply with that, there's no one forcing a gambler to play if they are not comfortable with it, there's a lots of gambling site around anyway.
2376  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is better in poker: bluffing or playing only with good cards? on: July 31, 2018, 02:34:59 AM
I've been watching some poker tournaments with Antonius, Negreanu and Cates lately. Most of the time the person with better combination actually wins, but there occur some great bluffs from time to time as well. Do you think it is better to fold if you don't have at least one high card in a pair or two cards of the same suit? Is it worth to try out overbetting tricks when you really have shitty cards? When I tried playing poker, overbetting usually made me fold, because it is a hard psychological attack for me and I am not the kind of a person that is willing to risk a lot. But I am bad at poker. What is your opinion on this matter?
Watching is different when you are already the person who's playing same deal with playing free games and the actual gambling, I guess its hard to bluffs when you are ain't sure about the mental capability of your opponents, sometimes you'll be lucky but most of the time you'll failed the difference is who's playing against with and how experienced they are in terms of this game, poker is really  entertaining yet very engaging type of gambling, it's all about money management and how tough you can risk inside the table.
2377  Economy / Economics / Re: How will crypto go long term? on: July 30, 2018, 10:59:31 AM
I think Cryptocurrency is going to dominate in the future monetary world. day by day blockchain system is getting accepted around the world and it's becoming a popular platform among the investors so it's hopeful that cryptocurrency could be a great platform for making money and profit. So it will last for a long time.
Experienced investors knows how to wait, they study the perfect timing when to buy and when to sell their holdings and keep repeating or add some spice to their strategy, in terms of crypto dominance in financial form it's still far from succeeding, though we really aiming for this system to be well known but still the financial institutions are the dominating the field, we just need to keep moving forward and keep if possible holding our coins.
2378  Economy / Economics / Re: Why people are still buying BTC? on: July 29, 2018, 12:59:40 PM
Bitcoin is weakening, but not abandoned. When there are people who sell, on the other hand even more who think positively and think this is a good opportunity to shop for digital assets. In Singapore for example, when the selling price of Bitcoin slid down, Bitcoin ATM machine even more crowded even to run out of stock. This is proof that Bitcoin is not dead at all.
And those who believes continue to invest and hold, I guess it will be a continues journey between investors and traders, people will still buy this coin and hold or used it for investing inside the crypto market, aside from being a currency online it also served as a good asset to hold when market still on its downfall movement, invest with well known alts and wait till you gain your target profits.
2379  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Season on: July 29, 2018, 12:25:32 PM
The Warriors have no doubt the popularity of the championship, as long as the current Durant + Curry + Thompson + Green is healthy, then the Warriors will always be the biggest favourite to win!
The Houston Rockets can only hope to win a dream if they want to win!

Lol. Did you watch last year? Houston Rockets almost made it the finals if not for CP3 getting injured and didn't play games 6 and 7. They could have snatch the championship last year and they are really close. Having said that, they can still be considered as favorites again this year together with GSW on West and Celtics and 6'ers on the East. I don't want to comment on the Melo thingy, though, lets just all wait and see if he still contribute and help Houston win games. Grin
"Almost" doesn't count.
Reality wise, though they fought a good game against the Champ but suddenly they didn't get this one, we can consider them as also one of those good contender for this years season and see if how things change up after the defeat last conference finals, the coaches adjustment and the players chemistry
is really important both harden and cp3 wants to have a ring maybe they will try pushing it for this season after they blend last year.
2380  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: FIAT rewards for bounty hunters. on: July 29, 2018, 06:58:49 AM
Honestly the success or failure of a post ICO is not determined on whether bounty hunters dumped their coins it is actually determined by how good the project is, although massive dumping might lead to a drop in the price initially however a prosperous coin will surely pump later, so payment of hunters in fiat not really help in promoting the token.
Bounty is just another portions of advertising the project, it's needed to bring new investors and attract them to invest with the project and just like what you said everything is depend on how the developers develop the projects and if the said coins really have a good usage, though it can reflect to the value of the tokens when bounty dumped it but its just a small portion of it both fiat and tokens will not affect a good project if there's a real use after it has been fully developed.
