I guess there are no professional dice  players anywhere or professionals for any other luck based gambling.  But there are professional poker players/gamblers,  and  professional game players/gamblers?
If there are no professionals in a type of gambling, chances are that the gambling is based on luck
For the professional player? I don't think they have like that.  No one can professional in gambling remember trading is different from gambling if in trading have professional but the gambling it's a big No. Even the older player who use a lot of startegy once they are unlcuky they lose their money. I use startegy but Im not relying to this always.

There are professional gamblers but it is mostly in sports betting.  Obviously poker as well if you consider that gambling even though many consider that more skill oriented.

No such thing as being a professional slots or dice player, the odds are always against you unless you are cheating.

I don't trust guys like him, he is loud and is always craving attention on television.  Most of the real successful businessmen are quietly behind the scenes making moves.  Throw Marc Cuban in with O'Leary, just another guy that got lucky by selling a worthless company during a bubble.

HAHA timebits, this thread is pure gold.

Seriously though if scientology and other craziness is considered a real religion with their own rules they can follow why can't this be real.  Just need some Bitcoin OGs to build some property tax exempt buildings as well.

Yes, a lot of those store sales are fake.  What they do is raise the regular price and pretend like it is %50 off or something.  There is a funny part from the movie, You Don't Mess with the Zohan where the electronics store has a "going out of business" sign because it brings in more customers fooling them into thinking their prices are really cheap.
265  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH Hits $270: $300 Next? on: May 20, 2019, 02:28:08 PM
We have all seen the performance of Ethereum during the current bull run. And despite Ethreum being quite under-priced (it went down even more than BTC during 2018), the increase in valuation was lower when compared to the other cryptocurrencies. IMO, this can be solely blamed on the bad state of the ICO market. That is the only explanation I could think of, for the dullness in the ETH prices. 

This just means ethereum has more room to grow from this point than bitcoin.  ETH is still the dominant alt coin and it looks like it will remain the way.  Ripple has pumped past ethereum in the past but those were nothing but whales playing a few rounds of pump and dump.
266  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why do we need so many cryptocurrency exchanges? on: May 20, 2019, 02:20:58 PM
People like to have many choices, simple as that

Why do we have so many different video games?

Why do we have so many different clothing stores?

why do we have so many different online casinos?

Hope you get my point

that game was a must win for the Raptors as we all know that no NBA team has ever come back from a 3-0 series.  Its only happened a few times in sports at all with the Red Sox doing it once vs the Yankees.  The eastern conference doesn't even matter anyways because the Warriors will dominate whatever team comes out of the ECF.  Even without Durant they are still the best team in the NBA.
268  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What's Your Top Altcoin List? on: May 20, 2019, 01:52:50 PM
I’ll just say that there is no Bitcoin cash in my list. after the events in December, it is time to understand that this coin will not survive

BCH is #4 on coinmarketcap which is ahead of LTC.  As much as I detest Roger Ver its clear that this coin is here to stay. Billions of dollars of daily volume and it is supported by some very rich people.  Also the low fees and high transaction capability. don't hurt.  BTC will always remain the king though.
269  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Bad "good" news. on: May 20, 2019, 01:45:38 PM
Even after the bad news of the 7000 btc Binance hacked bitcoin went on a mini bull run.  You just never know what will happen with crypto after hearing good or bad news.  The typical advice is buy the rumor and sell the news but I wouldn't say that I agree with that.

The education system is trash anyways and I'm not even talking about the violence.  Wasted so much time in school learning useless things and doing pointless projects which did nothing for my life.  I would of been better off dropping out at 10 years old and doing real world things.
271  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What Can $50 Million From Banks Add To The Crypto Industry? on: May 19, 2019, 01:57:00 PM
$50 million is nothing, that will barely even move the bitcoin price.  The amount that will eventually be invested by big investment firms will be in the billions.  There still isn't easy access for the normal 401k investor to be able to buy bitcoin yet.

LOL, don't think this person was really trying to hurt the Terminator.  Just wanted some fame which he is clearly getting.   I'm sure Arnold is laughing about this whole thing now.

Bodyguards have a really easy job, how often do these celebrities even get attacked.  Once in a blue moon.
273  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Important - Why localbitcoins.com removed all card payment type - alternative on: May 19, 2019, 01:43:39 PM
Not buying this excuse, credit card fraud happens with every commerce sector.  If stores stopped accepting credit cards and only took cash because of a small percent of stolen cards they would be idiots.  Its just the cost of doing business.  It is something you factor into your costs.  Only a small percentage of people are scammers, the bulk of your transactions will come from people with good intentions.
274  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Are you secretive about trading currency? on: May 19, 2019, 01:39:21 PM
Sometimes its better to not influence your friends and families what to do with their money , things can go sour real fast if they end up losing money because of you. 

Traders with real strategy keep it a secret for themselves, they aren't going to ruin their profitable method by telling randoms over the internet.

276  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If there is a store like Amazon or ebay that accepts only BTC would you use it? on: May 19, 2019, 01:28:33 PM
I would avoid spending BTC whenever possible, it is deflationary which means it should continue to rise.  If the only currency people used was deflationary the economy would come to a stop.  Inflationary currency does have some benefits with the main one being is that it makes people spend more and encourage economic growth.
277  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Facts about this "industry" on: May 18, 2019, 02:37:55 PM
Lol, don't be naive, the same type of stuff goes on in the business world.  Corporations are sketchy and do everything they can do save a buck.  Fraud is rampant everywhere and people are willing to do almost anything for money.  This is just the nature of greed, its not exclusive to crypto.
278  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Your Emotions: Highs and Lows of the Bull Runs on: May 18, 2019, 02:33:16 PM
A normal person used to the stock market can't emotionally handle these wild crypto movements.  The veterans here don't even blink at a %20 drop, its just another day for crypto.  Something dropping 20 percent in a day would be a disaster for the stock market though.

Also , is there a list of guessed numbers already? Don't really want to scroll back through all the pages checking if someone already guessed my number.

Its hard to get an accurate read on online casinos because there are a lot of shills across the internet.  Even the so called reputable casinos have many scam accusations against them.  The best thing to do if you like gambling is to try to put that money into risky investments instead of a casino, thats the smart play.
