261  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Card counting in black jack on: September 06, 2020, 10:06:53 PM
To be honest, I have never used a card counting strategy, but according to some reviews I have read on various forums.
Many card counting is successful after practicing it, but this strategy must have a good memory and can focus on concentration.
So it is clear that people with weak memories will not succeed in using the card counting strategy.
I will ask from a friend who is a math teacher to help me for beating the dealer in a live blackjack table. From the first look, it is not hard to learn but it is hard to master after falling many times. Overall, the edge over the house will increase and of course, our minds will be messy, just a single mistake can ruin the whole combination. Imagine combining this with martingale money management and being unsuccessful.
262  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Pornhub Adds Bitcoin and Litecoin Payments for Premium Content on: September 05, 2020, 11:50:24 PM
That's really great news because now many platforms started adopting cryptocurrencies at the mode of payment. Now it had been implemented by such a massive adult entertainment platform that would be really good news for crypto users.
this implementation is not strong news. the fact that such an opportunity appeared is good, but very few people will actually use cryptocurrency on this platform
I don't agree, many husbands wouldn't want to share the credit card statements with their wife. So, the anonymous payment methods will be a feasible solution, the best way to pay the premium subscription will be an  LTC. It is the fastest and cheapest way compared to BTC and altcoins. Premium accounts can renew the subscription with many choices but I don't think the old traditional payment methods will be eliminated soon.

There are many articles on this topic, just read about the evolution of blackjack. All changes in the rules for shuffling the deck and the number of decks occurred precisely because of the people who learned how to count cards.

Yes, but having more deck of cards in a shoe as a way to counter these card counters means less revenue for casinos as it will result in less hands.

I don't know any gamblers who are a card counter, perhaps this is just a niche and only a handful remains in this business because casinos has also evolved on how to catch them. Not illegal per se, but you can land in jail, specially if you have been forewarned already and then you return to play, that is trespassing as casino is a privacy property per law.

How does this reduce the number of hands? Shuffle machines don't care how many decks to shuffle. Therefore, this does not lead to wasted time.
As for the legislation, it is different everywhere, but it's hard for me to imagine that somewhere there is a law prohibiting counting cards and counting your own odds when playing cards.
It is not completely meaningless to count cards with 8 decks of cards but the chances are very low to increase winning portability. The same frequencies will not happen as in 1 or 4 decks of cards, just try to count one of the live dealer games in Blackjack tables. You can use a single-player room which usually has more than 50 people and the time will be your advantage.  In the best case, you will have 1 max 2 percent edge over the house, will it worth to use your energy?...
P.s: Check this thread and find the statistical edge in numbers.
264  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which gambling sites have 0% house edge? on: September 05, 2020, 11:10:36 PM
If so, I think it's nice if you have an ANN Thread in the forum so we can check all the information information.
They have it, it's on his signature and the thread was published since 2016 and he's the op.

Thanks mate, I didn't see it because the signature was too small.

I'm checking the site now, I will try betting on "no house edge", it's a different experience than sports betting and other popular games in a casino.
Give a shot on Betvoyager and you can enjoy with no house edge casino games. The no zero roulette and fairly paying Blackjack tables can be a joy if you have strategies or money management without house edge. Unfortunately, Betvoyager doesn't accept the crypto deposits but you can fund your account with Skrill that accepts BTC, ETH as a form of deposit. BTW, I have no affiliation with them, just my 2 cents.
265  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Buying Bitcoin with no KYC verification on: September 05, 2020, 10:55:29 PM
Whether we like it or not, it soon to come a moment that we can no longer buy Bitcoin or any crypto that never ask KYC. It is somewhat opposite to its feature being fully anonymous but for security reasons why it really happening in the coming days. Even small exchanges are now asking for it and much more in big exchanges. And if you are looking away to buy Bitcoin without this thing, it is really hard to find it.
Just a quick thought about securing bitcoins without having KYC. Buy a cold storage now from secured website or supplier, of course make a new email and have an alter address for the delivery. The next step is risky but it is all it takes to avoid any one knowing that you are buying bitcoins except from the one that you are buying with peer-to-peer, you just need to trust them but before that make sure that you can check their reputation. It is okay to spend quite higher at least you got what you want. Anyways why are you afraid of being known.

In the worst case, the blackmailing attempt can happen if it is illegal to trade cryptocurrencies. Buying a BTC with cash is not safe even if there is a nice platform such as LocalBitcoins. The double-spend attack is always possible and I doubt both parties will agree to wait for the first confirmation in the face to face conversation. The Aximetria app is good for such cases instead of paying an escrow commission, the local agents will find you and you will get your BTC in the app with paying cash to the company representative.
266  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I'm dumping my coins because.. on: September 04, 2020, 11:06:31 PM
I dont have any reason to dump my coins. I can say i am in love with holding already because i have a coins from bounty projects two years ago and i am not ready to sell now because i know those projects still have potential and i know what they can do in a year from now
At least you have a nice way of thinking while other bounty hunters prefer to get cash with selling bounty tokens for cheap prices. Bounty earnings have to be considered as a form of passive income, otherwise, the loss is inevitable in the long run. In order to ensure the possible gains, teams should think twice before distribution the bounty allocation. Locking the tokens is not a solution, something better can change the situation for bounty hunters.
267  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Fundamental Analysis or Technical Analysis - which is more important? on: September 03, 2020, 11:41:21 PM
Long story short: I use fundamental analysis for finding the potential direction and technical analysis is needed to find entry/exit points. For finding the trend direction using the indicators is useless unless there is a schedule on the calendar during important news. Technical analysis is based on statistic data which is collected from the chart itself, why am I supposed to play with indicators instead of directly analyzing the chart itself?
268  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sports betting: how much knowledge is too much on: September 03, 2020, 11:08:15 PM
It makes sense to have a information and making a bet based on the gained information but the public information is not enough to make a 100% right bets. My friend even has the inside information about who will participate on the match before event and he thinks to bet on this information by taking over 2.5 goal selection. With famous person's invitation, players will be tempted to score more goals and this was edge of my friend. Personally I prefer to make random betting decisions with checking live soccer statistics. Much better than blindly losing money on random bets.
269  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Best Altcoin to Invest on: September 02, 2020, 11:36:22 PM
most people will talk binance as the best exchange,
but in my opinion the OP should try to use other exchange too such as bittrex, kucoin or others
then use the most suitable with you,
about the best altcoins i think ethereum is the right answer for now
Trying other exchanges will cause more problems compared to the same time spent on the Binance exchange. There is no and never will be the best altcoin to invest for the mentioned reasons above. The ETH and DOT have the potential to make an overkill return on the investment but luck is required to catch the right timing. Timing is the most important part of the trade, there is no need to perfectly find the right time. Even the combination of 50% time and 40% direction can boost the trading profits.
270  Economy / Services / Re: Go-Overt Bitcoin Mixer review campaign. on: August 11, 2020, 01:39:19 AM
Interested in joining:

bc1qaxq6gu8d3gfq6zgc0p3e6kdntq4l454sg945h4

After the first look, the simple design of Go-Overt was fascinating for me because I have always looked for simple working services. In the competitive crypto mixing world, having a clean, simple user interface can change the score in favor of the most updated one. Honestly, I didn't read the feedbacks of other campaign participants before testing it personally. From the first glance, the white-black color temperature or sharpness doesn't make me feel tired due to the eye strain but you can't keep the same color balance forever a bit of improvement is necessary, IMHO. Please add the colors for the "How Does It Work?" section too, the same colors are not comfortable for me.


The no-Segwit support is big No for me, TBH, and hope the implementation of Bech32 addresses will be available soon. Just a small suggestion, try to add a mixing function that users can take the private key of the fresh BTC without paying a huge 5% fee. Regarding the fee, why to ask for both network fees and another 5% for mixing service??? Just decrease the mixing fee for a limited timeframe and see if you can increase the website traffic with a correctly planned marketing plan,  of course.

No log policy and guarantee for clean BTC makes me feel safer compared to the similar experiences on competitor's websites. For gaining trust and increasing your survival chances, the signature campaign is essential in order to avoid the dead cat bounce treatment in the long run. Just my 2 satoshis Smiley

273  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Las Vegas Casinos are open - end of the Pandemic era. on: August 05, 2020, 11:46:45 PM

I think that in pandemic situation conditions in casinos could be set and controlled in a way to protect the health.

As in all public places. Casino visitors should be asked to wear masks, and their temperature should be checked at the entrance. Also, everywhere within walking distance should be antiviral agents for hand treatment , as well as during games should be observed distance, which is quite difficult to do in games where several people play.
I doubt the casino croupiers will agree to accept the between 3 max 4 players before starting to spin the roulette ball. In reality, more than 6 gamblers around the roulette table throw the chips or cash to bet on the different areas of numbers and croupier along with manager adjust the bets. Wearing masks and checking temperature parts are ok but keeping social distance will not be the case, IMO.
274  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Slots are better than Dice. on: August 05, 2020, 10:49:23 PM
For example, I have not yet heard of any winning strategy for playing dice or slots.
I heard a strategy for playing games is patient, where most gamblers don't have.

It is not always possible to maintain patience when you lose and lose money over and over again. I know this very well because I have experienced it many times in practice. And this is despite the fact that I did not set a goal to earn money.
I feel your pain, the same endless loop has happened on my unlucky game sessions too. Patience is not required for the last dollar of bankroll, the game melts down the balance faster than the blink of an eye if you have strong patience. Let's accept it, there is no way to beat the game in casinos, and wasting time reading the strategies developed by strange genius people is just another form of fooling ourselves.

No particular pain. I play for fun and not for money, and even so, sometimes it's very hard to be patient. I can't even imagine how those who play for money and start losing many times keep their patience.
Well, that is a big plus in your personal gambling journey. The pain is subjective, for example, you can think about spending that amount for upgrading the graphics card of your pc to the latest model or something else. Those who play for making money or even for living, it does not pain surely maybe tragedy. One thing is surely here, the slots are not better than dice for those mentioned groups of people due to the lower house edge and better risk/reward ratio.
275  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is it worth paying to advertise your ref link? on: August 05, 2020, 10:30:05 PM
Way back to 2017 during ICO hype, it was easy to attract the new members via aff links but the situation has changed to worse due to the less reliability. In the long run, the numbers will tell you if it is worth to continue or give up. Unless you have an empty place on your website/blog, it is worthless to continue advertising, IMHO.
276  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Eth. When!? on: August 05, 2020, 09:32:28 PM
I bought ETH when its price was $ 220, I missed the opportunity to buy ETH below $ 100 so I decided to buy them at that price. Fortunately, the price keeps going up and now I have about 80% of the profits from buying ETH
It is a really good method to buy any coin at a low price and then sell it at a high price, ETH is really good choice about that. Investors who have preferred investing in ETH are earning from ETH investment. 80% of profits are really good percent and it seems ETH keeps increasing, no doubt you can make more than this percent. There is always risk about investing, l mean there can be suddenly price dumping, you should think about that either.

If you see the description is the trending system was based on
Quote
With most vote and view in the last 24 HOUR
This system still could be easy to be manipulated for some project, they just can offer the community with a small tip to view their project and vote them to be on the trending board. This option was not a good option to be used to make some investment.
That is why smart people avoid taking suggestions or recommendations from third parties. The filter system for getting pure community opinion is necessary if the site administration can reduce the fake traffic.
My method is easy to find the hidden gems, just check the Twitter search section and there are plenty of analyses for hidden gem altcoins.

Making a group of slots is unnecessary because of the sorting feature based on the slot provider if I get your point right. The huge number of different slots makes it harder to find the best paying one but it is known fact slots drag the gambler to dark side of house edge which is unbeatable in the long term. BTW, I don't feel like pressured or disturbed in both online and land casinos. Make your own choice and avoid the slots if you have other plans except touching slot machine or clicking on it.
279  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Hire Crypto Trader on: August 03, 2020, 11:36:46 PM
For profitable traders, as said in the old days: Sky is the limit. Why should I prove my success and show the proven track record? If I ever feel to feed my ego as the pro trader just making a few tweets with proofs will be enough. BTW, this is how crypto shill account plays the role of a pro trader in social media nowadays. The magic is persistence and having a trader mindset, the signal or mirror trading is the alt version of being successful. The original method was the same years ago and till today not many things have changed in the investing/trading world. I doubt stealing someone's success will be easy with luring the money-related stuff in open public forums, the experienced trader can identify the colleague from 100 meters if you got the point. Just my 2 cents. 
280  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sports betting biggest winners. on: August 03, 2020, 10:54:27 PM
How would you do that guys? do you consistently bet on parlay with big odds?

I do bet but not often. I am not the kind of person that place a big bet on anything. I am afraid of losing but seeing people on the list with corresponding amount of winning is quite surprising for me. I can't believe that it is possible to earn that kind of amount through betting only. Maybe they win often than lose.

I.also don't bet big amounts, that is not for me. No matter how good odds might look I don't take big risks.
It's possible to make big money with betting, there are also some examples that I know but for that you need to play big and also lose big. It's not possible to win all the time and at the end the question is how ratio between won and lost actually looks like.
That's correct and when I visit stake I usually see chat and there are people winning like 0.1 bitcoin from 0.001 btc bet on slots or sports and I feel like why not try my luck but then I have to think logically that there are more than 50k members on there and winning such bets are hardly 4-5 members per day approximately which means chances of me winning such bets are 1/1000 and hence not worth chasing such odds.

I have seen people winning 100-200 odds live in front of my screen so I cannot even say these are just fake and made to lure the players into gambling with high odds.

The best chance you ever have of hitting high multipliers is actually on sports bet parlays.

Yes, betting on parlay gives you a little chance of winning only, but as you see there are people who really win, then I guess that tells it's not impossible to win and maybe your luck will come at the right moment. Risking what you can afford only is advisable, it doesn't matter how much as you can even bet less than a dollar because most crypto sportsbook allows that.

I just put a bet of 0.5 mbtc on a parlay bet on sports in my sportsbook and they accept it, that's half a dollar price.
That high multipliers section in Stake sportsbook is disturbing for low rollers but sometimes it is possible to be motivated too. Depending on the gambling experience, pyramid betting can give the same return as in parlay betting if the gambler can make the right choices in sequence.  Losing what you can afford to lose is the best form of keeping yourself clean from the debt because not all stories have a happy ending in the gambling industry.
