If you believe the casino you're investing in will be around for many years.. I think investing would be ok. I'm just afraid of a casino running off with the invested btc!

yeah, that is nice idea, he should have to invest in those casinos which have be online here from a long time and if he want to try some casinos which have come online recently then he should have to take the start with small amount in order to check its legibility.

Whether it is old or new site, the past history will not guaranty that in future they will not run away with your money. Any casino investments are high risk investments so don't put all your money in any one or two sites instead diversify into many sites to reduce your lose, in case site collapse or someone win big amount.
You are right actually but investing in an online casino is lucrative as it has a highest return of investment compared to just depositing your money in bank earning a little interest, just be cautious everytime you invest because this venture is only profitable if you can spot a good online casino to invest with.

Cleveland always dominated the hawks in playoffs, now I can tell that it is really different in regular season compared to playoffs, I am afraid the hawks will be sweep in this series again. They really need to work harder because cleveland is so talented, with king James around they are tough to bet. CLEVELAND FOR NBA FINALS CHAMPIONS!!

Hold up hold up, Cleveland can go NBA finals so fast because even in 2nd place Toronto Raptors play so bad. Cleveland have no real competitor in East, but in the West there's already 3 teams better than Cavs; Thunder, Warriors and Spurs. It's obvious the champion will be from Western Conference. If Cavs meet Spurs in finals it'll finish in 5 or 6 games.
That's the verdict of the many but I have my own opinion, maybe there are a lot of good team in the west but you can never downplay with this Cleveland team, they play solid both offense and defense and remember that they are in full squad this year compared to last years playoff. I know there are many Lebron haters in this forum but I will put my money where my mouth is.

Hi jetwin, I registered a couple of days ago in your website, able to claim the sign up bonus amounting to 45 MBTC. I understand that I need to fulfill the required rollover requirement before I can claim my bonus.

Now, my question goes like this, I deposited 5 MBTC just to experiment the withdrawal/deposit features of the site, the MBTC deposited was added to my balance from sign up bonus and my winnings. I wanted to withdraw it but it prompt that I am not yet active and minimum withdrawal is 10 mbtc, if I will add another 5 mbtc to comply with the required minimum withdrawal can I withdraw the total of 10 MBTC. By the way FYI my total balance now is 160 MBTC.

Hope you can shed light on me.
2905  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Simple NBA Playoffs Betting on: May 04, 2016, 02:15:34 PM
it will be a close game again both SA and OKC will play their best wanting to make advantage to this series, okc will play at home and the crowd will be their greatest strength, while san antonio will play again with their top guns lehanard and aldridge I think even if the game will be played at okc, san antonio can manage to win back, it is closer game earlier so might see more good fight in this series. good luck San Antonio see you in the next round guys.
Game 3 will be for San antonio spurs, I still believe that they are tougher than the OKC, you can get a good odds in playing game 3 because the lose in game 2 will affect the thinking of the public. For me, I would go to the batlle tested team. Spurs all the way.

And its just luck that the refs didnt call an offensive on manu ginubili. It was a close battle okc's style is not yet enough for the spurs.

And warriors is gaining the lead with 2 games. At least portland should win 2 games at their own home court.

Portland wasted their opportunity to win a game over at Golden State. The led for most of the game but had a late collapse.
Yeah I predict that the Golden State Warriors are going to sweep the Portland Trail Blazers without really any problem at all. They are even winning without Curry, if he comes back it should be scary and the other teams need to be prepared.

But you have to remember, Portland beat them in the regular season with Curry in the lineup so it's not impossible for Portland to at least win a game or 2.
Regular season and playoffs are way different, this playoffs is all about adjustment in every game and teams are given the same rest on the games schedule, if we go back to playoffs the back to back games would really have a bad effect of the team due to fatigue. Now, on this playoff, I still believe that they will not risk curry in game 3 because they have already won 2 games and they want to make sure that if curry will come back he will be at 100 percent.

The only bet you can win for sure and win everytime is current case of dr. Craig Wright - on VitalBet you can bet whether he is or he isn't real Satoshi Nakamoto.
I will be sure to bet that he is not the deal deal.


Me too, because I believe that bitcoin is more exciting if the person who behind this will be a  mystery, bitcoin has rise because of the its decentralization features, meaning it cannot be controlled by anyone or any group, the transaction are transparent as can be seen in the public ledger, now if we believe that he is the real satoshi bitcoin adopter with no deeper understand of the algorithm will doubt on the decentralization thing.
2907  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When gambling makes you cry. on: May 04, 2016, 02:07:09 PM
Gambling does not let many people cry I think. It would be awful if you saw a grown man crying because he lost with gambling. I think that people would cry if they would win the jackpot or something. They would cry out of joy instead of pain.

True, but there are some people who should really cry becausew they've lost the whole fortune, really big sums. It's very easy to become adictive and they you can't define your limits. But I agree that there shouldn't be situations when people cry because of gambling.
Gamblers only cry when they lost a bet that they cannot afford to lose, usually they are the poor or in the middle class who priorities gambling over their basic needs. They usually don't listen to an advise because they are very one sided who don't understand the risk of gambling.
Gambling makes you cry if you are losing a lot of money and that you are realizing that you are becoming to be poor and of course it is the worst thing that can happen to you.
So to play safe you must play with some small amounts so you are not losing that much money if you are going to lose some.
Indeed, if you become poor you will also lose your family, that a hard consequence if you don't know how to gamble responsibly. Gambling are designed for fun and in short say most gamblers loses cause the house always wins.
2908  Economy / Investor-based games / Re: HYIP: Are there any benefits? on: May 04, 2016, 02:05:42 PM
HYIP could have some benefits only if you are on of the first investors. But after earn % you should take right moment to leave hyip. But as many already answered, at the end all benefits goes to the hyip owner.

Yes, who invests first has more chance to make profit with it. But if the scheme only bring few investors everybody is scammed, because there is nothing to be paid. The HYIP owners are always looking for referrals, and referrals of referrals, this way they survive for a bit more time, pay the first investors, share the "it's paying" message and scam all the rest on the end.
It is the marketing strategy they usually follow, that is what you called a pyramid scam, you can never profit from that kind of investment in a clean way, although you profit sometimes but knowing you get that profit while others got scammed it would not be fulfilling to you and that is not success anymore.

HYIP surely is a pyramid scheming scam. Only people on the top will benefit from it with the effort of people on his downlines.
So, downline will work very hard for there money but they don't know only people from the top will benefit from it.
That's for sure and most of them are scams, but if you realize there are still a lot of idiots that were attracted to invest in this HYIP. I don't know if know the risk or just failed to accept it. If you invest on this and invite people to invest you are like a scammer also if the site turn to scam.
2909  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Best Investments on: May 04, 2016, 02:03:01 PM
Altcoins are scam stay away from them. Even with that high volume, Bitcoin itself is just started to being considered as a currency, altcoins are nothing to bitcoin, volume wise.

All of the altcoins are pump and dump scam, you see an alt gone up %1000 in one day and you think it will still go up and buy. Then that pumper dumps all of his shit to you. (btw, that pump&dump guy is usually the one who created the alt.)
But I also think there are altcoins who are promising in the future, just like the etherium, if you were able to invest by buying ether when the price was still low you will be millionaire today if you have a volume of ether, anyways, it's all about the decision of the risk takers here.
2910  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2015-16 Play-Off Discussion on: May 04, 2016, 02:00:53 PM

Yes, this is going to be a goods series, games are really close until the miami heat pulled away but the raptors did not give up, I am expecting raptors to bounce back strong in game 2 but my prediction is MIAMI in 6. I am still with the veterans. PEACE.

Why peace? They just give an analyzation with no favoritism involved. Smiley I see Miami in Game 7 or Raptors at Game 6.  And for betting type, I think the best part to bet is Under Points for at least 200 points.
That's the trend for miami and raptors, most of the games goes under because they are both defensive team, it is just the over backer in game one was lucky because of the unreal shot taken by lowry. My strategy for the game is I would martingale the under of the remaining games.
2911  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should I invest in bitcoin casinos? on: May 04, 2016, 01:58:59 PM
I donīt know much about this investing in online casinos but what i do know is that not every
online casino can be trusted. So be careful in witch one you want to invest and donīt do to much.
Can't be trusted you mean? In investing an online casino you can invest with a minimal amount as long as it pass the requirement of minimum investment set by an online casino. However, if your investment is only small you also shared small with the profit and loses. If you really want to earn big amount of money you have to risk the same.
2912  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2015-16 Play-Off Discussion on: May 04, 2016, 12:42:35 PM
Miami won this game. The veterans are too much for this inexperienced craptors team, may they just follow the trend to always lost in game 1 of the series. They just broke they 1st round winning drought and maybe the 2nd round would be for the next playoff. One step at a time raptors. Miami fan here.

lol if Heat's veteran is too much for Raptors why the game is close and reached overtime. The turning point just happened in the ot meaning it's a close game throughout the regulation. What a post game analyzation for a Heat fan.

Miami can get this series but take note that they struggle for Hornets which is far less dominating team compare to Raptors.

Game 1 can't dictate this series.
I have to disagree with you brother, Miami is improving in every game, the worst thing the affected the raptors in this series is the game of kyle lowry, if you compare his production from regular season to this playoff game, it is really a downgrade. You cannot expect derozan alone to bet this talented miami team. I am no fan of the two but I analyze it base on stats.

You didn't get my point mate. Im talking about the whole. He used the word 'too much' so how come the game turned to a close one. And I have to disagree that Heat is still in improving status. They are already improved.

Have you watch the whole game? That was really a close one. Stating Heat's veteran is too much for Raptors means  the game was truly control by them at the start.

Im not a Heat or Raptors fan too.

That is only Game 1 to make some final thoughts.
I respect your opinion, yes heat is improving and I am referring to their back up players or players that haven't showed up during the regular season, the key factors here are the bench players of miami who gain so much confident after they bet the charlotte in 7. Now, if you would also consider how dragic currently is playing it imposes a big threat to the raptors. I just don't see raptors winning this series as they are too inconsistent, their star players cannot be trusted in crunch time, we have to take credits for lowly for being a hero to bring the game to OT but the final score should matter and what matters is miami here steal game 1.

I start to read at the beginning and look like the first reply to Harizen has been mislead.

Harizen point out this post by goldcoin, "Miami won this game. The veterans are too much for this inexperienced craptors team" but still Raptors managed to get to a close ball game throughout the game. Raptors are inexperienced yes, but the game is really intense so I think it doesn't fit the comment that Miami is too much for Raptors. I believe Miami has bigger chance to win this series but it doesn't mean that veteran Heat are too much for the Raptors. And Im agree that in every game we can't conclude the outcome of the series depending on the team. Please also take note that they are No.2 and No.3 in Eastern Conference. This is not an easy road for the Heat.
Yes, this is going to be a goods series, games are really close until the miami heat pulled away but the raptors did not give up, I am expecting raptors to bounce back strong in game 2 but my prediction is MIAMI in 6. I am still with the veterans. PEACE.
2913  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Everyone looses in the long run on: May 04, 2016, 12:39:49 PM
That's what everyone says and it's true no one will win on a long run.
You will only lose more money on the long run because the machines of a casino are
to difficult to predict you cant win much if you come back everyday.
I beg to disagree with you, it's not true that no one will win in the long run the appropriate way to say is majority of gamblers loses in the long run. There are still those who are really good in gambling who make fortune in gambling.
2914  Other / Off-topic / Re: Any safe way to grow my bitcoins ? on: May 04, 2016, 12:38:11 PM
The safest way is just to hold it for a longer time, if you are optimistic that the value of bitcoin will appreciate in the future then you have to put your faith on it, buy now while the price is still low and don't regret later. Just my advice but you have to know and accept the risk
2915  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should I invest in bitcoin casinos? on: May 04, 2016, 12:36:01 PM
I don't know if you want it so bad then you have to do it but make sure you put your
money in the right casino and not just invest it in a scam that will be such a shame.
There are allot of fake casinos online who just want to steal your coins.
That's the basic requirement before investing in a casino, nowadays there are a lot of investment site only, knowing that you do not have security in investing an online casino, it is advisable to minimize the risk by spreading you investments in different casinos.
2916  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is this what we called "addictive to gamble"? on: May 04, 2016, 12:34:10 PM
we know that most of the times we lost on gambling, but instead of stopping we keep on playing for the next day

after we lost, we got frustrated but we still back to play, is this called "gamble addiction"?
No it's not that you are addicted yet but you just want your money back that you have
spent on it. It will only call an addiction if you don't go back for the money but just for the game.

I think I agree with your statement, when you addicted to gambling you dont care about the achievement (like winning or becoming the champion) but you just want to satisfied your soul and your mind
That is the thing that every gambler should not do all the time, chasing your loses is like pushing your self to the hole, even if you have a good winning percentage but if you are greedy doing chasing you will not be successful in the long run. Just be one at a time using flat betting.
2917  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be considered as a Sickness!! on: May 04, 2016, 12:10:57 PM
Gambling is not a sickness for some people its even a blessing, its in my opinion not a sickness because you are self doing it and get addicted.
With sicknesses you get it no matter what you do..

How can Gambling is a blessing?
It is not a God's gift, also gambling is not a sickness, it is depend on us how we use it and get profit or lose, but gambling is not a good field. because it is addictive thing, so should avoid it.

Gambling is a blessing for good gamblers who are making good money out of it and it is not possible for each and everyone of us as we will surely loose everything in short term.
I agree, not all gamblers are losers but majority are losers which I am pretty sure I'm part of it. However, there are those gifted gamblers who has the skills to win in gambling who use gambling as an opportunity to earn extra money.
2918  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcoin Gambling is Exploding on: May 04, 2016, 12:08:45 PM

Yes it's bitcoin is spreading world wide like a diseases i thought in all countries people know about this crypto currency. It's becoming very famous in short period of time. Now small small business doing people also using this bitcoin. Some people are using this for there daily use also. So If casinos close also it will not effect that much to bitcoin. Only the price of bitcoin will decrease little bit.

I agree it has more uses, but that is only on a small number of places I think, compared to it's gambling use that is worldwide. Where I live and in many other countries, people would not even know bitcoin if they were not using it for gambling, so I think in the remote event that casinos etc, would top using it, the price would go down a lot not just a bit.
Majority users in the gambling industry are those with sports betting. They have the volume to make wagers on their favorite sports, gambling with bitcoin gives them an ease that fiat money cannot offer. There group has been growing faster because they can be easily educated with bitcoins, only gamblers in casino uses fiat because they want some real action in the casino.
2919  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Best Investments on: May 04, 2016, 12:05:49 PM
Another good investment is studying altcoins altogether and know what are the other crypto currencies that are making waves in trading. Doing research and studies is a good start. I'm wondering if there will be seminars, conference regarding BTC investments? Or would people rather stay behind their BTC account?
That is a good idea, that's lucrative kind of money making if you discover the strategies right. You can even hold some of those altcoins because the value may rise the in future. It is risky because of many shitcoins that is around today but if you are lucky and be able to pick the precious altcoins you will profitable in the future.

I have lost 1 btc till date in gambling which makes me feel so sad and disappointing that I lost this huge amount in gambling so now I have decided not to gamble.
That's really sad, you just have to learn your lessons in a hard way, well everyone has their own experience and most of them were bad when speaking of gambling. Base on my observation while roaming around this gambling sections, majority are losers and it we total those loses that is a considerable amount the gambling sites would already profit, FYI, I am also a loser overall.
