Pretty sure folks that bought a few weeks ago would have already sold some of their stash in hopes that this recent climb to $21k would go back down sub $20k again. Also, I think most of the people who have been in the bitcoin game for years know that a few thousand increase in price in such a short span of time isn't something really worth celebrating. It is something, yes, but we have seen this countless of times before, and those who didn't learn from the previous runs will surely have a lot of things going for them.

NFTs are money-grabbing opportunities created by the elite to make more money out of other people who are looking to make money collecting them. While there are some truly unique NFT pieces that have surfaced, most are still a rehash of one idea hoping to milk the hype created from it. Then again, different strokes for different folks. A lot of people see NFTs as something that they can work with and something that they can make money off of, so I guess I'll just let them be. After all, with all the people who are still willing to buy and sell NFT collectibles, it seems that the market for NFTs will not be gone any time soon.

A win-win situation for Tommy either way, then. Guy's obviously not born to be a boxer unlike his siblings and his father. Has a weak chin, doesn't have that fighter instinct, and punches weak and low for most of the time. If ever, he can use the money that he'll get from this fight (if it pushes through) to start a podcast or create videos for social media and just chase stardom. After all he already has the experience in the entertainment industry and he can just use this fight as a leverage to further just that.

I mean, just look at his past opponents. One guy even has 100+ losses with only 10+ wins! How can you even call that a proper and respectable win?

Very timely and a much needed change IMO. Though we cannot discredit Max's grit during the the Abu Dhabi grand prix, but still the outcome would have been different if Max wasn't allowed to overtake Hamilton. Masi may not have favored anyone during the season, but his calls were rather questionable that a lot of F1 fans were displeased with the decision and even went so far that F1 with Masi is just going downhill from that incident.

Damn, that must have been gut-wrenching. The lowest odds I think that is still worth the bet is 1.3, and anything past that is just 'dangerous' territory or simply not worth it to bet at all. What more a 1.008 chance? Imagine just trying to collect $11k+ dollars for a bet, only to lose $1.4 million instead. Dude thought that it was an easy 11 grand to sweep, just goes to show that there is no such thing as easy money in sports betting.

I personally would have just used a few thousands and bet live and get more or less the same result. Props to the Chargers for making that epic comeback, must have been sweet collecting the tears of the fans and the bets of the gamblers

I think at this point they are just fucking with Ja Morant Imagine getting drug tested almost every game just to turn out negative. They really want to catch this man red-handed, but unfortunately all of his plays in the highlight reel are natural and due to his insane talent. At this point, Grizzlies must already file a complaint against this nonsense. They're trying to single out this man for drug usage and every time they test him they're not finding anything. How is that not discriminatory in any way?

Holiday is very hot yesterday and he really stepped-up in the absence of Antetokounmpo with a lot of great support from Grayson Allen and Brook Lopez. Fred VanVleet posted 39 points on the side of the Raptors, but unfortunately that wasn't enough to suppress the firepower of the Bucks. I wouldn't blame you if you took Raptors -1.5 because Giannis is out. Always such a trap team to bet on just because of a single player


Good thing you forgot to, because you'll be extremely disappointed if you bet on Brooklyn. Lots of traps on those games that I'm glad I passed and just slept Even I wanted to bet on Clippers against 76ers, but luckily I didn't because Embiid just downed 41 points and almost double-double stats.

1xbit and 1xbet are two different entities, and up until now I'm surprised someone is getting scammed by 1xbit? They are quite active here in the forum trying to market their platform in every way possible, and if their support already replied to you and you still haven't got your money or any progression on your case, then it's just an indication that they want you to be pacified first and not really resolve your problem. Even if you bombard them with posts like this here in this board, they wouldn't really care. They already developed a thick skin for scamming people and they're great at it lol

Iirc they already did this thing once with Paypal, and it was not refeived well. How would you market that you're allowing bitcoin trades when users can't take out what they bought from you? I don't think that they even have bitcoins that they're holding to facilitate these trading actions. At best, it may just be APIs and such that gets the price real time and then they take it from there. Entities not allowing bitcoin to be taken out of their custody after "buying" them aren't really selling you bitcoins but shares of worthless air. They can easily do a rug pull any time and you haven't got anything against them because you won't be able to give proof that you have your money with them.

ICOs were the bread and butter of some exchanges because they are being paid upfront to host it. It affected them positively although for sure, a lot of investors and traders were burned to these marketing strategies because these ICOs usually are gone after a few weeks. That's why there was an intense ban on ICOs past 2017 due to the damage they brought to the crypto economy and to a lot of investors as well. Exchanges side, positive; everything else, negative.

Ever heard of post offices and virtual offices? They still exist, and that's how these people get their items without really having to divulge much of their physical location. It's way easier to say that they can drop off the items one town away from you and just drive to there and get your package rather than let someone know where you are given the nature of cryptocurrencies. You don't want people snooping about your business simply because you gave them too much information.


I wouldn't do this tbh. You're putting your friend in probable danger by giving his information to people you don't know. What if the one you transacted with has ulterior motives and is just waiting to receive the right information before making a move? Better be hypervigilant and stay safe, and protect other people too while keeping yourself private.

No matter how much growth crypto experience over fiat, the fact remains that it's still not a preferable currency for nationwide use because buying and selling isn't the only domestic use of currencies. You also have lending, credits, and investments among other things. Bitcoin does all of this, but how can you control its supply in the market if there is an overflow of it when you cannot really change its specifications at all?

Price and value alone of one thing isn't enough reason for people to use it as a currency. It has to be something more than that unfortunately. And even though bitcoin and crypto posted huge gains over the past decade, you can't really do much about them but use it for buying, selling, and speculation.

I think they just realize that the USD will not be reliable forever, hence they are open to accept other national currencies for their foreign trades, and that's not a bad thing if you're looking to diversify the currencies you hold for a better chance against future economic meltdowns. But this does not necessarily mean that they're keen in using crypto. These oil states can honestly last for a couple more decades hoarding a lot of wealth in exchange for their oil, and they could shift into other source of wealth before then, and I don't see bitcoin or any other crypto fulfilling that goal for them honestly.

I don't think casinos will have deep enough pockets to pay wins that will reach billions. The most successful casino by revenue only gets $1.6 billion estimate per year, so I doubt they'd be fool enough to let potential winnings go over what they post in a year. At best, maybe you'll see $50 - $100 million wins in a single night in casinos, but definitely wouldn't reach Powerball or lottery-level prizes due to obvious reasons.

And to think that the government keeps 1/4th of the total winnings on lotteries, I think it's not so bad for them to give out these amounts every now and then.

I wouldn't say Tommy is someone whom can consider a "capable" boxer because of his record. Most of his wins are against mediocre fighters at best with very poor win-loss ratio with the exception of Daniel Bocianski. I think this fight, we know which way it will go: obviously Jake's. Seeing Tommy's previous fights, he doesn't really focus on the defense and always go to the offense instead, so that's one department that he needs to work on as Jake is slowly becoming a somewhat well-rounded boxer through his previous bouts.

"Tell me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are."

Kinda goes like that IIRC. Your environment influences you in ways that you do not even fully recognize because you are busy doing your thing with your friends. Only then would you recognize this once you are no longer associated with your friends, or you have shifted your attention into another activity completely unrelated to what you were previously doing.

I personally try to avoid friends that are degenerate gamblers, even though I am gambling myself. They do not have any self-control, and once I see them long enough to think that it's "okay" what they're doing, I'll be applying that to myself and I'll slowly slide down to degeneracy.

I guess you'll know how exactly it feels when you're in the spot that OP is in. I see no hate in his posts so far, and most of what he said in this forum is utter disappointment on the bookie and that's it. If you turned over a million dollars for a gambling platform, don't you think it's just fair that they give some kind of RTP percentage of at least 1%? Or even just some free bets just to show the casino's appreciation of your business?

Anyway, OP seems to have the money to spend and can somehow weather the storm if he takes some bad beats. Doesn't seem to be a degenerate gambler too, but just wants to maximize the $$$ that he's spending and that's totally agreeable.

Crazy that a 6-slotted Naga siren and a Scythe Tidehunter cannot crack that high ground defense early on against a Lesh without the help of a shard.

ITB will surely mature into a more developed team if they continue joining Tier 2 tournaments. As of late, they're only exposed against tier 3 teams and IMO that's not enough training ground for them to really hone their skills. But individually, they really have a good understanding of Dota, they just have to push through with what they know and keep on grinding.


Maybe. That or Valve is still under investigating everything on the client side. When it comes to throwing matches, they can easily figure those out, but it's weird when it comes to cheating allegations they can't really give a fast and definite answer to the allegations. If I were Valve, I will be releasing a statement as soon as I know whether a team cheated or not.


Hah! Been spamming Riki for a week now as pos 4 and I can say that early shard to get the sleeping dart is something cool. It helps you land perfect timings and disable enemies for 4 (or 5?) seconds while the rest of your team cleans up the team fight. A really great support hero this patch and it's a good thing that they're now realizing its viability in high level games.

Dead coins being pumped and dumped every now and then is nothing new. A lot of whales have been buying and selling these coins in order to generate fake volume before they call that something is happening, and then sell it to unknowing people. Usually they time it every time bitcoin is on rally mode, so as not to make it as if it's something artificial and that a lot of people will also buy in to the trap.

The only problem you would have is: you didn't buy when you first noticed something, and now you're regretting it somewhat.

Too early to call Denver as the winners of the West. There are still tons of competitors that would really love to be on the finals and get that ring. Also, the Nuggets are notoriously known to fall off during the playoffs, while some other teams of lower ranking than they are right now performs somewhat well.

If there is any bookie that provides these odds, of course you can bet low and hope for the best as the odds will be stacked, that's for sure. But logical? I don't think so, but it would be a much welcome change to the league if it ever comes to that.
