A site with excellent sponsorships, prestigious how are the odds on soccer? Average? Are there live bets?

Yes, there is in-play betting on Sportsbet.io platform. This is my favourite way of betting since recently.

And if you mean that the odds on soccer are better on some site known for scamming people ... Well, what are the odds of not being scammed there then?

I have screenshots of our correspondence, where casino representatives assured me that the procedure was successful. I left a complaint on several sites, including AskGamblers and GURU, but the casino doesn't seem to care!
It looks like they answered you on at least one of these sites:

https://casino.guru/mBitCasino-review#tab=js-tab-reviews



Yes, I've seen that answer. I don't understand what they are talking about, since I was verified via Skype, they saw my face, and ID card and everything was fine. It seems that they are just hiding behind this reason in order not to withdraw my money. I wrote a few more complaints and decided to share my problem here, since, as far as I know, casino representatives are here and sometimes respond.

What do you mean by "everything was fine"? Did they tell you that your verification was successful, or "They promised to respond according to the verification result within a day", as you said in the OP? Those are two different things, you know. I know nothing about this casino in question, so I'm not trying to defend them, but your statements look contradictory, and I don't know what to believe.

Technical analysis. Using the chart to determine the price support and resistance of Bitcoin will give you an idea on what price you should place your bet. The only trick here is on what direction of the price you want to choose whether over or under but since Bitcasino offers 2 chance to choose there entry price.
Technical analysis does help to some extent, but it won't give you any sort of edge over the house just because 2 chances are offered. Luck is a bigger factor in comparison at the end of the day.

So many people including me won these contests thanks to blind predictions without analysing anything. It's like a mini lottery if you think about it.

Absolutely, also a free to enter one, and with some nice prizes too. 5 mBTC with 1X wagering requirement it's basically 4 mBTC almost guaranteed. And I personally know a user who actually doubled the money while wagering because of good luck.

So, congrats to our winners, @slaman29, @LFC_Bitcoin and @Karma24! Make it 10 mBTC, guys! Smiley

~ But the vast majority of gamblers are looking both for winning money and getting entertainment. And for them complex plot is a must.

Entertainment is fine as long as you can keep the cheaters away. The more complex the game is the easier it is to find bugs and loopholes.
~

Theoretically it sounds logical, but in reality, do you know many cases when complex online slots were hacked? In fact what was hacked once is the simplest game you can imagine, a dice game. A scammer named HufflePuff stole 2,000 BTC from PrimeDice in 2014. If you know a story about an online slot being hacked because of its complexity, please share it.
2785  Economy / Economics / Re: Germans are looking to firewood for energy as natural gas prices soar on: August 31, 2022, 11:32:08 AM
I think this is only a temporary trend the firewood can't be always used for heating up the whole country. Firstly it's costly. It's bullky, transportation cost is high and it need huge logistics support system. So yes until there is war there could be gas issues and firewood might be used as an alternative, but it cant be a saviour. Ultimately we will gonbacknto gas..

Yes, we will. Ultimately, the government that decided to launch a full scale war in the middle of Europe in the 21st century will be defeated and overthrown, and the world will be able to trade with Russia without sponsoring state terrorism at the same time. And burning firewood for making your home warm will be history, just like hearing air alerts several times per day for months, living in the capital of a European state.

Maybe we are not there yet, but I think in the future , trying to avoid gambling platforms with KYC can be dangerous. Scammers will be trying to exploit this, almost irrational, fear of losing privacy, offering platforms with no KYC.
All require the process of implementing KYC regulations like in previous exchange platforms, everyone refuses to provide personal data but when the top exchange raises the status of the obligation to verify KYC to access deposits and withdrawals, the other alternative is to just trade on other lower volume exchanges. So gambling platforms must ensure that KYC is harmless and will not be misused for negative purposes, ensure that user data can be encrypted and stored in external data (not online) to increase the security system from hackers.

What gambling platforms should do is to choose a good KYC provider, and all the other things like encryption of your personal data, storing it out of reach of hackers etc will be taken care of by the provider. And choosing a good provider is not hard task these days, you can just pick one from the top, and all of them are good.

~But so far though, I haven't heard any crypto gambling platform being hacked or our data being leaked. And hopefully there are storing those data of their customers in a safe place and one of reach by anyone.

Exactly. All the more so because the data of their customers is not stored on gambling platforms.



Overall, this fear of the KYC process reminds of aerophobia, an extreme fear of flying on an airplane, or other flying vehicle. Is flying 100% safe? No, of course not. But if you have that fear,  you are just making your life harder.
2787  Economy / Gambling / Re: FreeBitco.in-$200 FreeBTC⭐Win Lambo🔥0.2BTC DailyJackpot🏆$32,500 Wager Contest on: August 31, 2022, 10:03:40 AM
Yes, although the chances are very small, it is much better to have just one ticket than none. If I had had zero tickets for a lottery round, I'd buy one, but normally I have hundreds of them from my WoF spins.

I do not see any bigger logic in that - except the fact that because of rules, each newly generated/bought ticket lowers others' chances. I just do not see point in doing something you are not fully engaged in. It is just spending money without any sense (for me), as real chances are so low that is it is really difficult to have any hope. I would love to disable lottery tickets completely, but unfortunately it is not possible and I still receive them from WOFs.

No logic in buying a ticket for just 1 satoshi? I don't see much of logic in keeping 1 satoshi either. Smiley It won't be a lot of money even if BTC hits $1 million, right? So, I wouldn't call it "spending money", if you ask me. It's spending 1 satoshi and making your life a little bit more entertaining with that. Smiley

Decided to give it a try:



I guess I got lucky here with 3 Golden Tickets! And enough RPs for cashing out! All in all, I am satisfied. Smiley

Congrats, @iv4n!

Win that Lambo this time! I'm rooting for you, mate! Smiley

2789  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you play Slots? (long sessions / jumper / focussed) on: August 31, 2022, 09:20:13 AM
~ It's a common way of playing slots whereas you play with a minimal amount and try to win or even make your game longer to have a better chance of winning the jackpot. In this way, you can maximize the enjoyment and fun while not caring if you lose as you've only bet for a small amount. It's not a great strategy though if you want to win a lot but it's a great way to enjoy the game and avoid gambling addiction and such.

Right, and that's why it's an amazing strategy. Trying to make your living playing slots is the most stupid thing you can imagine. And since to become a gambling addict is not impossible, it's dangerous too. But having fun while betting with small amounts is a nice thing to do for your relaxation, and you can win, say, 940x of your bet(my personal record, happened not long ago), and that feels really good, although much smaller wins, like 20x and 30x of your bet also can charge you with positive energy for the entire day.

I think gambling depends entirely on luck. There are some people who have a good attitude towards gambling. I don't have much experience. I think gambling can make a person rich in a short period of time. Similarly, a person can destroy everything in a short period of time. I think it is better to stay away from gambling. If someone plays it for fun then it is fine for him.
I have made it this particular analysis of gambling some months ago because I noticed that no matter your prediction and gambling the only thing that accomplish it so come to reality is lock. Because I've seen some people who played it very well about a game but at end of it they lose the game it's not all about the thing they predicted is wrong from human imagination but based on luck they lose their prediction. What I'm trying to say in quote is that gambling is a game of little chance.

Luck plays a big role in gambling, no doubt about that. But we shouldn't forger that it plays a different role in different games. Some games, such as dice, keno, plinko etc, are purely luck based, while others, like poker and sports betting, require some skills in order to be successful. You can still lose in those games because of bad luck, but there's a good chance, not a "little chance", like you said, that you'll be in profit in the long run, if you possess the required skills.
2792  Economy / Economics / Re: The BTC price must stabilize in the long run. on: August 30, 2022, 10:54:29 AM
I absolutely think bitcoin's price will stabilize in time just be patient. Right now there are many factors contributing to BTC volatility. First, we are probably entering a recession due to massive government overspending and general mishandling of the pandemic.
Furthermore, the war in Ukraine has shaken the world economy up and it will take time for things to blow over. BTC price will be in a completely different place when the market conditions change. I just try and remain patient. I’m holding long anyway so I don’t even look at my wallet these days.

I agree with you. In times when everything around is very unstable, we can't expect something as volatile as BTC becoming stable all of a sudden. In times like these, people are selling their assets to cover their food needs and stuff, and Bitcoin is not an exception. But no pandemic and no war can last forever. Better times will come.

Honestly you guys are INSANE, I wouldn't be able to pass over 5k in wagering, let alone do these. I would be probably more around 1k if I tried. I am on a vacation right now and just wanted to check whats going on and saw these, I am not gambling at the moment and I am glad that I am not Cheesy I would be tiny kitten against you guys, you guys are lions in this jungle and I haven o place. I would love to see someone in bitcointalk to earn some big major wins, that would be a lot better because that way someone we know and like would have a chance to win something which makes me happier than some stranger as well.

I'm sure you could do it if you were trying to.  I could see making a lot of tiny low risk last minute live bets on sporting events, or tiny bets on the player vs player games.  Not sure if you'd come out ahead in the end even with a bonus, but it's not like you need to risk $5,000 on a single slot pull.  This is just a guess, but I imagine that many of the people who play for bonuses are mainly concerned with how to get their volume up without taking major losses.

Imo, people winning in wager races are those that would wager such amounts anyway, with or with a contest. I think for anyone ending up in the top 5,000 positions, the prize is just a nice bonus, that is much lower than what they won/lost along the way. That is my impression. I myself have never won a wagering contest, except on newly opened sites with very small number of participants. And in this particular race, after $38 wagered,



I'm taking 203,401st position. This tells something about the site's overall turnover, doesn't it? What can I say? Bravo, Stake!

As for the prizes being insignificant in comparison to what the prize recipients win/lose, idk, it's just my theory, So, please, correct me if I'm wrong.

All the winners in the OP's example were spending from 30 cents to $50, not big money for anyone living in the West. So, it wasn't a "biggest risk", if you ask me.

This formula, "the more money you can potentially win, the higher the amount you have to put at risk", is true when you are betting on Red/Black in Roulette, but in slots and lottery, it doesn't work like that.
They spent small money, but we know just about money they used for winning. I think that they spent more money without winning. But you`re right about the risk, if we are talking about the bet. If we can know the chance of such a win for a such sum - the percent will be really scanty.


You mean, they spent more money than the jackpot amount? More than $18 million, or $40 million? I don't think so.

There are a lot of such cases among slot players. When they win, say, $1k, we all know that they have probably lost more than that previously. But with slots or lottery jackpots it's rarely the case. People normally don't have such money.

After the initiation of Faucet where traders were gifted 5 btc each,
5 btc is quite a lot now, reading this is making me wish I was one of the beneficiaries. I was curious after reading this and made some research of my own to see if this early bitcoin exchange faucet developed into another current day exchange, but couldn't find any information to that end. Any information on that?


I would bet a dollar you would have sold all your btc at the first all time high Wink,~   

That's what I heard too. Many of the early adopters sold everything they had at the point of the price reaching like 50x or 100x compared to what it was when they first entered the game. I can't blame them, I would surely do exactly the same thing. Only now I know that when dealing with BTC, it is better to not sell everything at once. Keep 20%, at least, just in case it will cost much more in 2 years than the 80% you are selling today.

Hey Bitcointalkers,

What games do you like to play (mobile, board games, easy game with friends, etc.) that you would love to see put into an online casino for real betting?

There have been a lot of successful yet simple games in online casinos like Heads or Tails, Over/Under, and more. We are looking to see what games you guys love and wonder if we can turn them into an online betting game!

I think monopoly will be more interesting if it is used as a part of betting, because as we know monopoly is a fairly easy game and where every player can face each other in a player vs player game. so the level of prowess and luck will appear real

this is just hope

Imo, monopoly is a great game for friends and relatives, who came together to spend time just to relax. It's important to sit around one table, in real life, for this board game.

But they used to say the same things about poker, and look at online poker now. So, who knows?

I'm not certain if the proposed Akon City in africa, linked to the cryptocurrency akoin, ~

I think it's not linked to akoin. If you google it, you get this result:



and I personally believe it.

~
There are interesting and innovative ideas being proposed. The saudi arabia project is constructed around a mass transit length of rail. Built above the surface of the desert like a skyscraper. Elon Musk has discussed building a city devoted towards space exploration in texas. I was hoping UAE dubai and middle eastern real estate development would explore the viability of building cities underground to save on insulation and cooling costs. That seems like a natural progression. Interestingly enough, no one seems to like the idea.
~

Although it is very likely that a "paradise on Earth" won't be built with just following those innovative ideas, I think it's a good thing that talented people keep trying to do such things. Often, the ideas, when developed, can serve other purposes, making this world a better place.

Newcastle.. so close yet so far. This table is shaping up to be super interesting, Arsenal to lift the trophy in the end? Cheesy

I thought the same for Newcastle,judging from the great performances so far from them and from the poor performances of Wolves I did put them as winners in the predictor.

I bet on Wolves win, 2-1, and wrong too. And yet, 19 people from our pool made a perfect pick, earning 3 points with that, and 3 others predicted 0-0, which was close. Good job, guys!

Also I never thought a West Ham win would be possible but they did it finally and got out of the last place in the standings,they even had a very good odd to bet on them at 4 which I think very very few people did.

And here I was among those few predicting West Ham win:



Very proud of myself. Smiley

If only Nottingham held on to that 0-1 scoreline it would've been a nice recovery for me to end the round but still happy with how it ended. I had a bad start going down almost 10 spots at the start of the round and then going back up a few spots thanks to that draw on the Newcastle game.  Tongue

That was the only 3 pointer for me in this round



so I can't remain silent about it. Smiley
