Please let me know where to get this book or is it available in pdf file online if pdf file is available please give me the link.  Because I have been looking for this book for a long time but couldn't find it but today I noticed that you posted this post and I feel very lucky to see your post. 

Well if you carefully read the OP post, you will find the link to the book  Smiley


Please read the opening post, and then consider supporting me as I aim for completion. I'm more determined than ever to get over the finish line.

Well, just my idea why don't you publish this book on different social media platforms and get a payment for this to be downloaded? Maybe you can have a website of your own where you may sell this book.
Yes, it's good that you are giving this book free of cost to everyone on bitcointalk but there is no harm if you charge for it outside this forum.

There have been times I just out of no serious interest or enthusiasm just decide to try a few predictions on football games and due to the lack of interest in the games just decides to stake with a very low amount and boom, the games played, and you just realized the money won is nothing to be glad about.

But on certain day's i take the game seriously and put my mind into it and as a result had to stake in a good tangible amount of money to have the potential money to be won big but the games don't usual play despite all of the seriousness and analysis exerted into putting up the games.


Aren't you going on betting with the wrong approach???

First, you should know that taking a bet after making a complete analysis still does not guarantee that you will win. So when the winner is not sure, we should not put a big amount of money in any bet. That is what I have learnt over time and I do tell this to everyone whom I know is involved in sports betting.

If you blindly bet on any game, it is just a matter of luck, you may win or lose based upon only luck. When you bet using your analysis, still luck plays a factor but you have more probability of winning but still, we should have some rules in gambling. For example. one must not bet beyond a certain amount in a single bet, no matter how much confidence he is on the outcome of the match.

The next match will be played between IU vs QG at the same venue and the situation is also the same rain yet has to be stopped It seems like the Second match also called off without a ball bowled.

When we talk about the Quetta Gladiators,at once Nafey's name come in our mind.
From the last few matches, we are seeing Nafey's poor batting in PSL but a single innings cannot be dropped all the things that he has achieved from the years ago. After doing a few poor spells of batting he said:

''My job was to just work hard, and now, this one inning has changed everything''

After a good inning, everyone believed in him then he was confused to play. However, he is a good batsman and one or two bad innings cannot judge anything. After seeing this remember, Babar Azam also played his first match with a good spell but that was ODI he made a century on it and then in the next innings, he was also out early.

At this time, still, the weather in Rawalpindi is still not good but now the rain is less than it was before. In the middle across two or 2 and half hours back the rain stopped, Babar Azam and Shaheen Shah Afridi came to check the ground but in waiting for the dry ground again the rain started, I don't think that today any match would be played.

But, at the same time, if the rain stops and the ground and the pitch dry then it will become a chance that help us to see the next match at the time of night between Islamabad United and Quetta Gladiators. By the way, after this draw in the first match today Lahore Qalandars finally got a point.

My husband was winning and losing around the same at first. Only the last few days he hit a lucky streak and won around $12 000usd. After that he couldn’t bet and this is when we made my account.

How much amount your husband bet with that resulted in $12,000 ? This is a big amount and i am sure that you people depsoited/ played with a big amount in order to get this winnings  Tongue

I will see what happens with this case first before registering to another site. For sure I will never make the same mistake in the future.

The gambling sites would not just let us escape on the basis that you made a mistake. In order to register at a new site, better first learn complete details of its terms and conditions including the KYC policy, the usage of VPN and the gambling site stance on multiple accounts. If you do not pay attention to these, you can end up blocking your account and losing whatever balance you have in that site.

I believe Stake manager doesn’t consider feedback sold account or spamming if this feedback was given before they join the campaign. They consider only post quality(length of post) when choosing their participants.

This issue was already pointed out many times to their manager but she declined on kicking user that have negative feedback even if the account is clearly sold account that is just purchased to join in their campaign . I think this is what the user thinking when he applies in the campaign.

The user in question was never accepted in the stake campaign because he applied after that campaign had ended. Also, there is no need to blame any particular campaign if he applied there as the campaign never accepted him.

If you see his profile, he is applying and trying his luck in almost every campaign but ofcourse the campaign managers will only select the persons based on certain criteria.

lahore qalandars have not done anything good so far in this season, the position of lahore qalandars is now number 6 in the points table, that is, this team is now at the very bottom of the points table, on the other hand, the position of peshawar zalmi is in a good enough position.

Still, Lahore Qalandars had many chances to play the knockout stage of the matches because if they won their all remaining matches and if Islamabad United and Karachi Kings lost their all matches, it would become easy but it's impossible so if Karachi Kings lost all the matches and Islamabad United win so they will win with less to less run rate else we are not seeing Qalandars into the Semi-final and if they would not qualify so some big problem in their team because in the last 2 years, they performed their best and from the starting of the PSL we have seen always Lahore Qalandars poor show this time, everything going to against them.
247  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is it possible to inherit a gambling debt? on: March 01, 2024, 11:10:21 AM
The high rate of gamblers who take loan for gambling purposes is quite alarming, and most of them are fathers to kids. Most of them don't end up taking care of their debt before passing. What happens to the funds, when the lender comes for his money? It's quite a tough one for a person who isn't a gambler to inherit a trouble from a gambling dad. Such things also increase the anger of the society on gamblers, because the addicts are, also, good at extending their problem gambling to other close relatives. Could it be talked through in the law court?

For a moment. let's forget about gambling. Let's suppose someone takes a loan and he dies without paying the loan. So his children and his remaining like his wife etc are supposed to pay that debt. Unless the other person forgives the loan, there is no other way out but to pay the loan.

So now taking a loan for gambling is no different too. The person who gave the loan wants his loan back, he doesn't care if you gamble and lose everything in the loan. It is the gambler's problem (the one who took the loan) and not his.  The same rules would apply if you take a loan for any other purpose or for the gambling. Also in most cases, if you tell them that you are taking a loan to gamble, most of the people will refuse to give a loan. Therefore most gamblers do not tell that the purpose of the loan is to gamble.

In some countries, the laws are very strict about the loans and one has to abide by the loan regulations when it comes to the paying off the loan. I think there are two types of loans to be considered here.

1) Those loans which we give to our family and friends. In these types of loans, we usually do not care to write it down on legal papers and these loans are given on good will. So sometimes people do not pay back these loans resulting in conflicts on the families etc,

2) The loans taken from the Loan giving agencies. Here everything is documented and if we fail to return the loan on time, there could be legal penalties. The chances of not paying the loan in this case is very slim.

I would say that even if we give a loan to any of our near and dear ones, better get it legally documented so that in case of any mishap like the death of the person to whom the loan was given, the next course of action is clearly mentioned and can be claimed in the court of law.

Lahore Qalandars vs Peshawar Zalmi

The 17th match of Pakistan Super League will be played on the next two dates where Lahore Qalandar and Peshawar Zalmi are facing each other.Among these two teams, Lahore Qalandah is the only team that has not won a single match in this edition of Pakistan Super League.Honestly their performance is very disappointing.
Let's see how well they can play in the 17th match maybe they will try hard to get their first win. This Lahore Qalandar team has been an outstanding team in Pakistan Super League 2023 season they have won almost every match but they are not playing well this year.

Peshawar Zalmi and Lahore Qalandars will meet for the 2nd time in this PSL. Last time, they both met at Gaddafi Stadium but now Lahore Qalandars  and Peshawar Zalmi going to play at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. Tomorrow is the first match that will be hosted by Rawalpindi in this PSL.
Peshawar Zalmi had mostly matches on the daytime as their first match with Quetta Qalandars played at the daytime and the match that they had with Karachi was also on daytime. At this time, Peshawar Zalmi had played 5 matches while they had 2 matches in the daytime at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore.

Peshawar Zalmi had a very good chance to win and if Lahore Qalandars lost this match so the hope to play the Semi-final will almost finish. By the way, I don't think that they can beat Peshawar Zalmi, so we can bet on Peshawar Zalmi on this match.
249  Economy / Gambling / Re: I've Made Millions abusing Exploit in a Crypto Casino - AMA on: March 01, 2024, 06:58:29 AM
Hello Bitcointalk community,


Glad to be back for another peek. It's been awhile. I used to be active back in 2013/14. It's been exactly 10 years since I found a major exploit in a bitcoin casino and abused it to accumulate over $1M+ back in 2014.


Thought it would be fun to do an AMA, might be interesting for the community  Wink

Anyone can come up and say something like this and make himself look like a hero  Huh
Without any proof, there is nothing to believe in this story. How can a casino let their 1M$ dollar withdrawal without investigating that how he won that amount? Even if there was an exploit, the casinos are not dump to let the withdrawals so easily.

Secondly, for a moment let's suppose this is true, then again You have cheated the casino and made this money. There is nothing to be proud of, as thieves need to go to jail and not tell their stories as a "Success story".
250  Economy / Gambling / Re: 1XBIT.COM ᐉ 7 BTC WB ᐉ Altcoin Betting ᐉ no KYC ᕗ Instant payouts on: March 01, 2024, 01:54:17 AM
I know it's unnecessary to discuss the issue of Betnomi here but if you've really read some posts in their thread the issue has never been resolved. Maybe there has been some progress but as many others have said I doubt they will completely refund the funds for their users especially for players with higher amounts still awaiting refunds. Regarding 1xbit I agree that they will not settle or resolve any scam accusations here but they keep trying to come back here. They all know that there are many gamblers here on BitcoinTalk.

No need to compare any other site with 1xbit as to which site is more scammer than the other. All the scam sites need to be identified so that people just avoid those sites and eventually they end up getting no business. Good sites will never reach to a situation where they scam so many people and they say that they will resolve people's issues. Even if they resolve most people's issues, they have lost the gambler's trust and even the gamblers whose issues are resolved they may never again play there.

So, I believe that this thread have been reported to moderators by a lot of users requesting that it be locked, I would personally say and conclude that moderators deciding to leave it open for discussion is actually doing more good than harm.
Well said. Fighting crypto scam sites effectively is one of the biggest pros of this fabulous forum.

This thread isn't being used for the promotion of 1xbit. Either you will find people complaining here that they have lost their money gambling on this site or there are people who are advising here not to deposit at this site. So it is acting as an awareness for the gamblers to stay away from 1xbit.
251  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Phase 2 of Manta newparadigm Possibility? on: February 29, 2024, 03:41:58 PM
Phase 1 has ended on January 16th, 2024. You can still open your obtained boxes and combine, but will be unable to obtain new boxes or box pieces.
$STONE and $wUSDM withdrawal will be enabled on March 26, 2024.Meanwhile, you can use $STONE and $wUSDM on Manta Pacific across 150+ different ecosystem projects.
Is this official or final when they say March 26th will be opening a portal or those who want their stone and wusdm back to original eth and usdc? Ive known they said that but is there backing that the date will be the one used for this process?

I am still lending some on layerbank since their 1.5% manta allocation to ecosystem hasnt been given yet. But hopefully they make some announcement already.



Well, when we staked the ETH to get the Manta token, we already got the STONE Tokens in return. These stone tokens can again be converted into ETH tokens but the conversation rates will be a little less and we may lose some percentage of our money, Also, if we convert to ETH (from STONE), then on 26th March. we will not get back our ETH withdrawals (as we already have swapped our STONE for ETH).



Regarding your query that it is official or not, well apart from the announcement, you can also see that the withdrawal button is disabled the at moment and it will enable on 26th of march and we will be able to withdraw ETH on that date. By the way, i still wait for the Phase 2 of this airdrop  Roll Eyes
252  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: February 29, 2024, 02:23:30 PM
Ireland are leading by 61 runs at the moment thanks to their middle order and tail-enders primarily while Zadran and Rehman did a great job with the ball though 155 was always going to be tough to defend.

I don't see the Afghans winning this one unless they produce something special in the second innings and Adair will be their biggest concern.

The current situation of the match between Afghanistan and Ireland cannot be believed that Afghanistan players are playing like this. Ireland's team it's on its peak against Afghanistan. They took all the wickets of Afghanistan in just a day and now their batsmen performed like a pro. They made runs more than 250 on this wicket.

By the way, the Ireland team is the young team of Ireland, not their experienced player playing this. While on the Afghanistan team, they have Gurbaz, Karim Janat, and one of the best openers ever from their team Ibrahim Zardan. Although Afghanistan is in the lead by 26 runs on stumps at day 2 but they have lost three wickets. I don't think they will be able to give big target to the Nepal team. Remember this is the only test being played between these two teams.
253  Economy / Gambling / Re: Casinos not asking for KYC to register and play, but do require it to withdraw on: February 29, 2024, 01:55:28 PM
Casino company have the right to request KYC from any client. Because TOS states that a gambler is bound to abide by their terms and conditions. When a gambler creates a new account they agree to gamble there according to all the terms and conditions of that company or site. No casino organization should be blamed in this case. Moreover, most casinos make it very clear that if a gambler finds evidence of something suspicious, they can certainly ask that gambler for a variety of information. I think all casino company try to give maximum benefits to their customers. They never purposefully get anyone into any KYC complications. Also I don't think asking for KYC is a crime. Although we prioritize crypto gambling to remain anonymous, there is no alternative to knowing who is a real gambler as various types of illegal financial transactions or money laundering activities always occur so casino company will be aware of it.

I sometimes consider such casino as scammers who only want that people keep on depositing on the casino without any restrictions of KYC but they only want them to do KYC when they are withdrawing?

This only shows that they are interested in getting money from the people and offering them without KYC deposits and gambling. As soon as the gamblers triggers the withdraw command, all of sudden they realizes that the gambler have not done KYC and they held the withdraw and request the gambler to do the KYC. It is better to avoid such casinos.

The honest casino will always want you to do the KYC even more you play at the casino or if it is KYC free casino, then they will not ask for casino even at the withdrawal time.
254  Economy / Gambling / Re: FreeBitco.in-$200 FreeBTC⭐Win Lambo🔥0.2BTC DailyJackpot🏆$32,500 Wager Contest on: February 28, 2024, 06:27:56 PM
I often visit that site too but don't use it all the time, so I think we are clearly discussing the current bitcoin price movement which is still in an uptrend, there was no decline in the price of bitcoin on Monday as I thought the price was above $50k and that's it. has remained above that price level since this morning, so I can see that the price movement will remain at the prediction bet of $50,001 - $55,000 which is probably where many people bet at that price for betting on bitcoin price predictions.

There are only a few days left for us all to see the next bitcoin price movement, but it will be fun when the bitcoin price is above $55k or around $55,001 - $60,000 so with a fairly high odds outcome it will be even better even though it is a bit difficult but bitcoin price movements always give surprises as long as it is still in an uptrend everything will go up in the near future, Btw thank you for your suggestions and references so that I can see the Fear & Greed Index graph that you recommend.  Wink

We just clicked the 64000$ bitcoin price and now the price in trading is just over 60K (most probably trying to create the support above 60K before moving ahead).

I think no one predicted this price movement for Bitcoin in February and most people's BTC predictions for February will fail. We were told that there is a high resistance at 58-60K bitcoin but it seems that no resistance can stand in the way of ETF demand and for the first time in history we may see the new All time high even before the halving.

Though it will be good to see the New Highs, but believe me predictions of Bitcoin price are getting a bit tuff after the demand that has been in the market due to Institutional investments. Remember retailers fomo is yet to enter in the market.
255  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Pakistan Super League #PSL Discussion Thread on: February 26, 2024, 05:13:11 PM
Finally, Babar Azam hit a century. Today is the day where we have seen his century with a beautiful style. He is a stylish batsman. If you remember he made his last T20 century in 2023 against New Zealand on the same ground and today he again made his century in the same Gaddafi Stadium ground.

Babar Azam played very well in today's match as he made a full century after September against Nepal but the century that he made against Nepal was in ODI but now we have seen a century in T20 with the same aggression.

Babar Azam made a century but still Islamabad United had a very good chance to win because if you see their run rate so almost their current and required run rate is similar. Azam Khan is present in crease as a great finisher or middle order you want to say. He almost made his 50 at this time maybe he completed or lost his wicket, but we see a great fight back. Anything can be happen it's cricket, we need to wait for the last balll to know who is the winner.
256  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the highest amount of money you've ever bet in a single game? on: February 26, 2024, 02:30:15 AM
I'm not a big gambler, my average amount per bet is no more than $1 for casino games such as slot, plinko, keno, dice, etc.
For sports betting, my biggest bet was no more than $100 and I did it long time ago (Euro 2016 event) IIRC.
I did that bet because I won a contest by new sports betting site and I think I will not bet that much from my own pocket.
Luckily I won the bet (parlay bet) with odds 5x, so I made a good profit and I do not make more bets bigger than $50 in sports betting till now.
 

I really like your approach where you told that you put only 1$ in each bet and no more than that. This is really amazing as even if you lost the game or the bet, you will only lose a dollar. This will never make you feel depressed in case you lost the bet. However, some people may say that playing each game with one dollar will lower your chances of winning big amount from gambling but at the same time we should understand the risk of losing big part of our portfolio also decreases with this approach.

Back when Bitcoin was trading around $10k, I put down about 0.01 BTC on a sports bet.  At the time, it was equal to around $100 - not an insignificant amount for me.  Of course, I ended up losing it all and  looking back now with how much a single Bitcoin is worth, putting that much money down on a sports wager probably wasn't the sharpest move.  But I was okay with the potential loss at the time and don't really regret it.

Again, this amount vary from person to person as sometimes you can play with 100$ on a bet and that is fine if your portfolio is so big that losing a $100 will have no big impact on you. However, just as an example, if anyone has a 1000$ portfolio then it is not good for this to bet 10% of the total portfolio (that is 100$ in this case) on as single bet.
257  Economy / Speculation / Re: A new ATH before halving. Is it possible? on: February 26, 2024, 02:02:00 AM
A new ATH from this position is very much on the cards. Institutional demand is increasing, and the recent rally is proof. The possibility of BTC touching $69k can not be ruled out. If the current trends continue, the chances of reaching ATH are high. The global economic recession might become a limiting factor.

The question is when we are going to hit the all time high, prior to halving or post halving? We are surely over the all time high but it is hard to predict the timing of this. Personally, i would not want Bitcoin to reach all the way to all time high without correction. If this happens, then believe me the bitcoin bull market target will be considerably low as compared to the scenario if bitcoin takes a 20 to 30% correction before taking over the all time high.

The corrections are healthy for the markets and they reset a lot of counters which are hindrances for the price to move ahead, a lot ahead. I think that it is best interest of everyone that bitcoin breaks all time high after halving.
258  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: I don't understand why do I have two addresses for the same account on: February 26, 2024, 01:18:49 AM
I am saying this as it seems like you were using binance before (as you transferred funds from that exchange) , there you just get one single btc address and it does not change. Also, you have a lot of ways to secure your access to your account like password, 2fa as opposed the software wallets where you only have seed phrases to access your wallet.
In a software wallet, you can encrypt your wallet file with a password, and you can also add extra layers of security, like a passphrase or setting up a multisig wallet, it is also worth mentioning that you can set up a 2fa wallet in Electrum. The difference between a hardware and software wallet is that the former is an offline wallet that stores your keys offline, however you can set up your software wallet in an airgapped device which will likewise store your keys completely offline.


Softwires wallets even with encryption or passphrases may not be secure if the device has access to the internet. There are malwares that may expose your wallet keys to the hackers so software wallets aren't secure to store a large amount of bitcoins. The only way to make your device secure is to make it a cold wallet, that is a device that never touches the internet (termed as air gapped device).

The way game is moving, once India starts to bat, I'm sure England is going to get early breakthroughs and we may feel that England is going to win the game and then Indian tail enders come to the crease and India wins the game lol

And another 4 day test.

The first day of India vs England match 4th day coming to an end. Today many things happened first the Indian team lost their all wickets of the main players and then bowlers and new people came to play but they also could not do anything, so the team was out then hero bowlers came and what type of play they did like a T20 match. They picked all the wickets of England's batsmen by giving a wonderful performance.

For the England team, it will be good if they do not allow to Indian batsmen to make runs and they need to take their wickets but if they cannot take wickets so no problem but then they should play like Indian batsmen cannot make runs, and at the same time, focus on wickets taking tomorrow. India has a higher chances of winning in this test match. The England team collapsed on 145 runs and that was the real turning point of this match.
260  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Books for Bitcoin on: February 25, 2024, 10:48:41 AM
After all these years of waffling and ignoring, I now seek to become a part of the wave that is bitcoin. However, rather than merely buy bitcoin on an exchange and speculate the days away, I want to actually use bitcoin for some purpose or endeavor, and a few hours ago I realized how I could do this. I occasionally sell books online anyways, and offer anybody the opportunity to purchase books from me using bitcoin as the medium of exchange. If you are interested then send me an email - bookbits@protonmail.com - and I will send you a link to my ebay account. Furthermore, I happen to work at quite a large used book store in New England, and so if you want me to hunt down a particular book for you I can do my best. If you need pictures of the books I will be happy to provide them. I am new to bitcoin, and I want to get involved, and so I apologize in advance for any problems that may arise from my ineptitude regarding computers in general, and bitcoin specifically. Hope this is the right place to post this.

Why don't you send the link for your ebay account listing so everyone knows what you are selling ? Also, if there is already a good sale for your books, then there must be some positive feedback showing the creditability of these books. Also, i would like to know if you are the author of those books  Roll Eyes

You haven't mentioned the prices as well. My suggestion is that you can give one or two free vouch copies to anyone who is interested and in this way give a feedback about the book.
