I always play DICE and Slot games way back when I was active in the gambling world. I like simple games yet fun. I don't like those time consuming and braincells consuming games because it's boring for me and very frustrating if in the end you'll lose after all of the efforts you put just to win a single match. I also love sports betting since it's also a very simple game, a bet and wait kind of scenario while getting thrills.

AFAIK,fantasy sports are a USA thing.I don't know about any fantasy sports websites in Europe or Asia.
I've tried to signup at Fanduels in the past,but they don't allow people,who are not US citizens.
How come playing fantasy sports isn't considered gambling?For some reason Draftkings and Fanduels aren't heavily regulated in most US states.
I guess that playing fantasy sports requires skills like making proper analysis.Luck isn't that important,so fantasy sports games can be exploited in some way,but this might be very difficult.I'm not an expert in the subject anyway.
OP,what was the point of making that "wall of text" type of forum post and including two links pointing to this data40.com website?
Is this your website?
How about using VPN? I think that'll work unless they'll ask you for a KYC to verify that you're a US citizen. Well, all of the games requires strategy, any amount of effort in analyzing how to win in a game is need, unless it's a luck based game. Most of the fantasy sport is unique, it might be like the common sports but they've add some items or skills that makes the character also unique. I've never played one, but I think it'll never be a plagiarism if you know what you're doing. |

Does algorithm really matter? It's not just the crash game that usually has low values and less possibility of winning, it is also in every game in gambling, and in any platform. But I don't think that Roobet uses the old algorithm as there are already huge number of players that win a big amount in playing Roobet's crash game. And how are you even sure that they are using RHavar's code and not their own? I think only those famous betting platforms with crash games back then only uses that, and new innovating ones are making their own adjustments with the code. Algorithm is important, because you'll know how the game works. You'll know a lot of things that could help you to verify how many percentage of winning you have in a certain gambling game. Also, I don't know how they found out the algorithm of a game since gambling sites would never make it public, unless someone from inside made a leaked information about it. Knowing the code or algorithm make a game boring, since everyone knows the secret. |

Let's discuss the features of playing poker during tournaments where there are many game tables. Many standard poker strategies do not work in this situation.
In particular, long-term observation of the behavior of partners is largely pointless. They are constantly changing.
During the game, you can meet weak opponents (this is good). However, during the game you can meet very strong and experienced opponents (this is very dangerous).
You also need to play in the finals often. This will maximize your profit.
This is the elimination game, if I'm not mistaken (meaning if you lose all your money, you cannot go back to the game even though you'll get more money), but this only applies to poker tournaments, different in an actual poker in which you could gamble how much do you want, and it's more thrilling since you're gonna use your own money, unlike in poker tournaments that uses chips and you'll only allowed to exchange your fixed amount of money (that they allowed) for it, once you've lost it, you lose. |

As far as I see, a lot of people here are very happy when they read news about this or that bank adopting bitcoin exchange, offering crypto related services or doing something related to crypto.
At some point, I understand that people like it because they want to see crypto everywhere but the downside of this is that crypto gets more regulated and I think it losses the magic/spell that it had before. Personally, I think that more adoptions and regulations won't do any good for bitcoin, it will just become a little bit different digital version of fiat. I think as time goes, anonimity, decentralization and these words are fading away and they turn into myths like Greek gods.
The adoption of bitcoin by the central organization has its pros and cons. As much as we want to retain the nature of bitcoin if ever it will be globally adopted, we really have to compromise. Like what they say, any good thing comes with a cost, most especially we are talking about money matters here. For sure though the government won't allow such adoption to happen without them benefiting out of it. We have to make sacrifices in order for us to thrive. Although I'm really thinking if do we really need such validation from them? Because bitcoin alone can stand on its own anyway. Without the regulations that would make an impact on its features. But I also must say that gone were the days whereas decentralization and anonymity were valued by the users because lately crypto has been regulated in different levels in different countries. There are platforms where the local government regulates and mandates KYC. Almost every platform actually has a connection with investing and trading. I guess the world is really dynamically changing. For good or bad, that depends on how we view it and on what situation we are currently in. Because everything has its two sides of the coin. We just have to weigh and choose what would be more relevant and beneficial to its longevity and function overall. |

Hello to all.
are there any gamblers who play high limits and always manage to withdraw their winnings from betting crypto sites?
because even reading the A tier I find that often the winnings are not paid and money get blocked and I don't know which one to trust.
Thank you for any advice
It's very unfortunate and heartbreaking that most of the sites you have entered and played are not really reliable and trustworthy. Your money spent on betting was all just put to waste and you can hardly do anything about it. There are many users here in the forum suggesting different sites and it's just up to you what site/s will you pick. I won't really suggest a site but I would like to help you pick effectively. First, gather all the possible options. It's a nice step that you asked here what kind of sites to choose from. Now that you have so many options on your table, your work has been lessened down. But you can still gather more if you're still not contented on all of the sites they have suggested. Second, you should narrow down the list. You know well what kinds of games, graphics, interface, and gambling environment you want. From there, eliminate those sites that are not qualified for your criteria. By doing that, you eliminate the nuisances from your decision-making. Third, once you have the list of the sites that are in for your taste, check that one by one and see an in-depth background checking of the website. Do they have a good payout rate and processing time? Check all of the necessary and important information. Fourth, check the unbiased reviews from the players. Look at what the old and new players have to tell about the sites. Usually, these reviews are unfiltered, and basically their opinion and feedback about the game and its environment. You wouldn't want to overlook those as those are crucial in choosing a trustworthy site. Lastly, choose in accordance with your preferences. Once you already have all the information needed, you can now decide where to take a risk. I hope I'll be able to help you out in choosing what site to risk. May the odds be in your favor now. |

I was surprised to see there isn't any discussion happening about this latest ridiculousness from Jake Paul. It seems there always has to be a gimmick involved when he's fighting. Personally, I think Tommy Fury is going to knock him out in the first 2 rounds, but I didn't think he'd win the last fight either... December 18th... https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/32504332/jake-paul-fight-fellow-undefeated-boxer-tommy-fury-dec-18-tampaThe 22-year-old boxer and the 24-year-old YouTuber have agreed to get in the ring in Tampa Bay, Florida, on December 18, and Jake claims that Tommy - who is the younger half-brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury - will change his name if he loses the fight.
Jake told ESPN: "I offered Fury to change his name to Tommy Fumbles or put up $500,000 of his purse if he loses.
"He chose to agree to change his name. Guess he puts more value on money then he does his own family name. Maybe he knows his family is disowning him once he loses, so money and Molly [Mae-Hague, Tommy's girlfriend] is all he's going to have left."
Earlier this month, Tommy promised to end Jake's career ahead of their fight. It really fascinates me how Jake Paul is so confident against his fight with a professional boxer. It's not that I'm discrediting his skills in boxing but given the title Fury holds, it's clear that the latter has the advantage over this upcoming match. Although I also admit that I didn't see it coming during his fight previously that he'll win over Woodley. I don't know how it happened, but certainly, Fury won't allow such shame to happen to him. With his family name on the line, I don't think he will give Paul an easy time inside the ring. Definitely, Fury would be one hell of a challenge for Paul this coming December. I hope they'll give us an intense match and not just a boring one. If I'm not mistaken, their match will be a pay-per-view. Their respective fans would surely won't want to miss to watch this to support their idols. |

Sportsbet.io used to offer the bet builder from prop kingz as I remembered seeing a similar UI like the one you linked on BetOnline, now I think they're using a different provider but it is still good as you can do same game parlays.
Unfortunately, they're the only crypto bookie that currently offers same game parlays with prop bet.
Yes, I think they still have it in their platform, only that it has a different graphics and interface. Probably because of upgrade but it works the same way anyways like just you said. Although it was a good suggestion, but I believe there are certain areas which Sportsbet isn't available because of legality issues, I suppose. Hence, it would be a tough time accessing it if OP belongs to one of those countries. Hopefully not though. Betting games that use props are interesting and thrilling because it gives the excitement of who could get the outcome right against the other. This kind of betting enables the critical thinking skills that we have and the background knowledge we have on the particular game. You can design and decide how you want your bet would be. I think there are many websites that are offering this especially nowadays, but I can't really name some because I still haven't tried doing it yet online. |

It will be an exciting fight knowing that both boxers are professional ones that are actively fighting for an average of 7-8 months. It's good to know that we could witness such an incredible fight because definitely the two would be unstoppable inside the boxing ring. Both boxers Loma and Commey had lost to Lopez before. But they do have a very nice record in boxing. Loma having a 15W, 2L, with 11 knockouts on his winning matches which is certainly impressive for his age. Meanwhile, Commey have 30W, 3L, with 27 knockouts on his winning games. Loma have roughly 70% winning rate while Commey has 90% basing on their history. With that, we could say that the game could be in favor of Commey because he is more experienced compared to Loma, but surely Loma won't let his guard down. This would really be fun and thrilling to watch. I hope they would let us witness another KO match. With their records, I guess it's possible to happen. We just have to wait for a few weeks from now. |

It's no surprise that the gambling rate increased during the pandemic. This crisis has brought a lot of stress and emotional burden to most of us. This has been one of the greatest challenges that even the rich have a hard time battling. Lockdowns were imposed for safety precaution. Hence, people have no other choice but to stay inside their home.
With that being said, people have a very limited interaction and recreation physically speaking, that's why some resorted to entertaining oneself online. Online games and gambling become a thing. Those people who are already a gambler prior the pandemic have their chance to continue what they were doing before and those people who are looking for entertainment and past-time found comfort in online gambling.
While there are people who are gambling for the sake of their enjoyment, there are also people who are just desperate to generate income. Some people made gambling their way to earn money. It's risky, but it would be harder if they'll just let their families starve without doing anything at all. Like what they say, desperate times call for desperate measures.
Hopefully, they know well enough their limitations and boundaries so that they could continue what they are doing without compromising what is more important and necessary.

Fuel prices have skyrocketed in the past few months, on a worldwide scale. Here in Greece, the average price per liter for 95 Unleaded petrol is €1.75, while for diesel it's approximately €1.45. A huge surge is also expected, in the soon-to-be launched season of heating gas oil, which is expected to start within the next few weeks, with a rumored price of at least €1.10/liter. I've read that this spike in prices is triggered by an increase in price per barrel, due to oil companies worrying about the pandemic, while their production is limited compared to the higher demand. Have you heard anything relative? What's causing this surge in prices, could it be a one-off thing which lasts a couple of months at most? What's the average cost of petrol/diesel in your country? Share your thoughts on what exactly is causing this crisis, which is also spiking electricity costs up, increasing the budget for the average household. Sources: https://www.bruegel.org/2021/09/is-europes-gas-and-electricity-price-surge-a-one-off/https://www.bbc.com/news/business-58718148This pandemic became the biggest challenge in the fuel industry most especially during the early year it has been on. During the first year of the crisis, the fuel industry didn't have much profit because of limited travels due to restrictions as a safety protocol. Hence, the fuels were just stocked up. When we apply the law of supply and demand, during that time, the demand was very little and the supply is high, giving a cheap price to fuels. However, as of today, the operations are almost already back to normal. The transportation and travel restrictions are at ease now. The high demand for fuel is back and the fuel industry definitely wants that. Now, what they are doing is just maintaining the production and not really increasing it to spike the price as well. Since they have to make profits and gain back what they have lost during the darkest times since the pandemic started. Market volatility really plays a great role. Aside from this, we all know that fossil fuel is really expensive because of the fact that it is made out of a non-renewable source and also because of the processes it undergo. Fuels made out of renewable resources are a lot more cheaper than the usual fossil fuel. You can try it if you want to lessen your spendings. However, i think it isn't widely available to most areas of each countries around the globe. |

I have three books recommendation for you about economics. First would be Freakonomics by Levitt and Dubner and second one would be Economics in One Lesson by Hazzlit last one would be Thinking Fast and Slow by Kahneman. All are worth the money if ever you'll buy them. You will learn so many lessons, ways, strategies, concepts, market approaches, and thinking style of famous and successful personalities.
In Freakonomics, you will learn more about the everyday scenarios and questions that most people have on their minds typically. The non-typical questions are involved too. Those questions you don't know you have to know the answers to and that it actually matters if you'll think about it on a deeper level.
In Economics in One Lesson, it tackles about the in depth analysis of the market approaches and the economic theory. It also talks about the importance of the free market in our society where the privately owned businesses and establishments competition are of important to determine the price value of a product or services.
In Thinking Fast and Slow, it showcases the two areas of a human mind has which are the fast and slow. Both areas of the human mind has the ability to dictate what would be our decision in every aspect of our lives. It is responsible for our way of thinking and decision making. This book also mention about the moments we should trust our gut feel and when not to. It explains how to make an educational guess out of something and make an outcome look good. In addition, it also talks about the strategies on how to avoid as much as possible the common failures of the beginners and to not dig our very own grave when making an important judgement.

 Sometimes, this forum thinks that the rest of the world will flock to Bitcoin in droves because of its qualities. Some people think that every potential user/investor will care about its decentralized features or its high value. Well, it is not the case. The people who go to BitcoinTalk are not the average investor: they are interested enough in crypto to make an account here. It is not the posters you talk to, but the invisible lurkers who may be reading this very post. Nowadays, people are here in bitcoin not because of its decentralized functionality but because it is a speculative asset that could gain them profit in either short term or long term. I believe there are only a few people that are here in crypto just for the sake of anonymity. Sure, they are here for that, but I doubt that's the sole reason. Perhaps we can consider those people who are not into KYC because there are still people who are uncomfortable with that. But I guess aside from that, their main reason is not to advocate decentralization, but to earn and generate income. Let's not be a hypocrite, shall we? Also, investors and traders have a love-hate relationship with volatility. Why do I say so? Because volatility can either make or break your investment or trading strategy. When the volatility in favors with you, definitely you would celebrate. Otherwise, you'll regret, sulk, and be bitter about the outcome. It's just really a matter of what situation you are in and how volatility is affecting you. We have different perspective about it based on the current scenario we are in. If you don't have the heart to invest and trade crypto, then do not enter. You have to have a critical thinking skills in order to survive and thrive. If there are any lurkers reading this that are still thinking and contemplating whether to do crypto or not, reassess your main purpose and your risk tolerance first before executing your decision. Be wise. Don't just follow the hype. |

I still don't understand what do people mean,when they say "intrinsic value"?
The value/price of Bitcoin is determined by supply and demand,plus the costs of mining.
The intrinsic value of Bitcoin is supposed to be the cost of mining one BTC.The supply and demand factor determines the price of one BTC.
The intrinsic value of BTC has nothing to do with the price of BTC being measured in dollars or euro.
The price volatility of Bitcoin will never change.If you hate price volatility and fluctuation,then just use stablecoins or some not-so-volatile cryptocurrency like ethereum or ripple.
Bitcoin/crypto will never be adopted as a "global legal tender" and that's OK.
This one of the sensible answers I have read here. Bitcoin gets its price value depending on the market demand. There are times that the supply is high and demand is low, which is the usual season whereas bitcoin has a low price position. And there are times that the supply is low and the demand is high, giving a high price value to bitcoin. It's just a basic law of supply and demand, which I think most of you are already aware of, that dictates what would be the price trend of btc. But of course, there are also other factors that can affect the chart such as the news about its legality, opinion of a popular and reputable personality, etc. The price of bitcoin in equivalent to dollars or euro is actually just normal. You just have to have a conversion of something into your local currency to fully utilize it. In this case, the usual conversion of btc is dollar because it is the global currency, and in addition it has become a coin as well in several trading and investing platforms. Regarding with never ending question about bitcoin to become a global currency, my answer would still be the same. No, bitcoin or any other coin is impossible to be the world's currency. Why do you think the government and the central organization allow such speculative asset to take over? When they could just print money whenever they want and deem necessary? In addition, surely the countries all over the world won't ditch their local currency unless they have no other choice because of economy collapse. |

In recent years, more and more people have started to talk about Bitcoin with me, and the most common words are:
1. I started paying attention to it many years ago, but unfortunately I didn't buy it.
2. I bought it before, but it was a pity that I got off too early.
3. I should have listened to you at that time, buy some.
In fact, just one sentence: missed it.
Why didn't most people expect Bitcoin to be as brilliant as it is today?
In my opinion, the key reasons that make you miss the Bitcoin opportunity are actually the following aspects:
1.Whether the information is unobstructed.
This one determines your vision and insight.
In fact, most of the channels for people to obtain information are from the circle of friends, and a few are from themselves and have excellent qualities that love tossing.
The level of your circle of friends can determine the quality of the information you get.
If no one tells you, or if you happen to pay attention to cutting-edge technology, it is impossible for you to hear about Bitcoin. You can't search for relevant information on search engines, after all, you can't search for something you don't know at all.
2. Resolution
The more information, the stronger the resolution needed.
It may be better if it is a field that you have always understood, but if it is a field that you did not know before, can you distinguish it correctly?
3. Whether the investment capital is idle？
If the money you invest is from a loan, you will check your account balance every day. Short-term fluctuations will make you not hold it for long. Only after you invest and forget the existence of the money can you hold it for a long time.
4. Mindset and boldness.
No matter what the investment is, it is normal to have ups and downs, ups and downs.
Buffett said that he is fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.
The question is when everyone is afraid, do you really have this mentality to stick to your own opinions? Does the conclusion you insist on must be correct? For example, when Bitcoin crashes 80% for the first time, can you be indifferent, and will double up after being determined, instead of thinking that this is just a scame, and now it’s crashing?
If time goes back 10 years and give you another chance, will you really take out your real money and buy it when Bitcoin is still considered air?
If you are given another chance, will you really insist on not selling after you have made several times the income and hold it till today?
If you were to give you another chance, would you really listen to my advice and allocate a bit of Bitcoin as an asset?
No, you still won’t. After all, I'm not an expert, because you don't believe that the future of Bitcoin will exist like a sea of stars.
It's really common to encounter these kind of statements from other people that have missed the opportunity to buy and invest in bitcoin. I guess big and many "what-if's" have been occuring to them whenever they hear or see anything related with Bitcoin. It's a natural and valid feeling after all. The emotion of regret and what could have been's running inside their head because they didn't anticipate bitcoin would be this big. I really cant blame them also for not risking into something that's beyond their appetite. I guess we just really have our own tolerance of risk. We just gotta accept whatever the consequence it may bring after doing the final decision. You see, risking comes with a reward or loss. Hence, you must think thoroughly before entering. Maybe back then, they really don't see Bitcoin's potential. A lot of people actually didn't see this coming since there are a lot that already get off even before it skyrocketed. Still, the bottomline would be risk what you can afford to lose. That way you won't be hurt when things go haywire, and you could be rewarded if things go smooth. |

I have seen there whatever has a huge upside also has a huge downside. This is the case with crypto currency, including bitcoin.
Can we point out the risks that one faces in investing crypto assets based on these:
1. As a retail investor
2. As an asset manager (hedge fund business)
3. As a trader.
In general, the common ground that affects and positions at disadvantage/risky side all of the three kinds of people you have mentioned is volatility. The fluctuation of market price is definitely the main factor that could risk one's asset. It's the nature of crypto and we are all aware of that. It just depends on how we will manage and cope with it to our benefits. As a retail investor, the volatility could affect your decision making in investing. There are times that the position is low or high depending on market demand. Sometimes, the price value of bitcoin in the market seems to be 'low' but it isn't it. And if you happen to invest in high position, you'll have a feeling of regret later. Since you can't really withdraw it after a while. You'll have to wait for the price to climb. Personally, if you're an investor for long term, I guess volatility brings you less risk. Unless you will be FOMO-ed. As an asset manager, the volatility could make a huge impact to the account holder's portfolio the moment things go the way you perceived it to be. If ever things don't happen like what you predicted, you will be in a trouble. So you have to always have a plan B as a way out before it's too late. As a trader, volatility could either make or break your asset. You should always watch the chart trend of pump and dump and do technical analysis as a basis of your decision. You should know when to take profit and when to cut loss. If ever you'll just hope for the best despite seeing that the position is going nowhere, your assets will be liquidated. There are so many keypoints that I haven't mentioned here yet, but these are the things that first came into my mind. Hopefully, I gave you helpful insights. |

Fantasy sports would be a good and unique business and form of entertainment because it offers an alternative and more convenient way to ease boredom and play. It is almost similar to the typical and real sports and the only difference is that is it done over the Internet (online). Fantasy sports aren't categorized though as gambling since it is not a game of chance, but a game of skills. The more your players are performing nicely in real life, the more your fantasy points will be earned.
It is a good way of entertaining and enjoying the traditional sports. However the talk of its legality and its originality is often questioned. Since the concept and idea of the game is based on the traditional sports, it is quite associated with plagiarism. I guess it would be the State's discretion if they would allow such thing in their country. Whether they would legalize it and see or view it as a unique and potential business or not.

It is hard to define with certainty what a dip is, today may be a dip - all these are relative over a certain amount of time.
So I'd say if the plan is to hold for a few weeks then maybe going in would not be such a bad idea. The longer you're prepared to hold the less worried you should be about going in now as it is the average that counts in the end.
However, let this be a learning lesson for those who always say they'll buy the dip, market drops like 10% and they still wait for the dip. Jump when there's blood in the streets. Simple as that!
Exactly agree with your point. There is no right time to invest or trade in crypto currencies. Is all upto people and their choices. When you decided to invest in crypto currencies you should do a fundamental and technical analysis then you get an insight about what to do. Indeed. Why? Because of cryptocurrency's volatility, prices would always go up and down, meaning you'll always have profits if you know how to be patient and wise about your decisions when making a trade. It's not just about buy low and sell high, it's more profitable when you know what's the right time to enter the market and buy a lot of high profitable coin. It's too late if you'll always have doubts and watch others enjoy their success. |

Much better if you'll watch tutorials on youtube and read books about Trading, so you could maximize your knowledge about Trading. Also, self studying is a time convenient because you'll set your own time when to start studying, unlike when you're taking a course about Trading, you'll pay for it, only limited topics would be tackle, and you don't set your most convenient time to attend lessons.

If you meant when you said "being away" is not looking on your Trades for couple of days or a week, then it's neither good nor a bad move. Trading requires a lot of time to monitor your trades, to make technical analysis to increase your chances of winning, stop loss feature is just for automatic closing your trade at the price you've set it'll stop, that's it.
For me it's not really helpful especially if you're a full time Trader, because sometimes setting the wrong stop loss could also means losing your chances to make profits.
