I think it is even better to steal that is for those who have the ability to steal than to borrow because stolen money might come like a free money but the thief would be prepared to face the consequences when caught lol.

I am surprised that people still borrow money to gamble considering all the stories we have read on this great forum and all the lessons we have learnt so far, I am indeed shocked to my bones. I feel very sympathetic for the OP but at the same time, I know he is responsible because he is probably too greedy or too confident in his ability forgetting the meaning of gambling. The pain would pass away and the loss would be restored but I hope he learnt his lessons and I hope a lot of people would also learn from his story. Never borrow to gamble is one thing we would always say and will continue to say here.

I feel like we have talked about Zion and his weight waaaay too much and forget that this guy was the only hope for Duke last season (even though they end up losing) so he was overused and he got injured and maybe he just couldn't recover properly without a decent doctor.

Remember health is a very expensive and rarely found commodity in USA so having the best doctors and being able to pay for it was never an option for a kid like Zion. Now, he is in Pelicans and they have awesome doctors that they pay a ton of money for and maybe they checked him and said "this is not a new injury, you need to have a surgery and rest before you can play again" so he doesn't force it even more. I feel like 50% chance it is due to his weight but 50% chance it was due to him not being able to recover properly from his previous injuries and still playing with it which made it worse so smallest thing looked like it lead to surgery.

The person is not far from truth because it is never advisable for anyone to really keep his or her coins in any exchange because no matter the security that we think the exchange has, there are always very terrible hackers out there that will always take advantage of these exchanges weakness which they will always find out, although sometimes, it could be very difficult to get the loop holes of these exchanges except it is coming through someone that really knows the exchange very well.

I mean an internal person, but all the same, it is better to make use of private wallet that one can actually have his or her private keys to it, once we have our private keys and we use a strong password, I think we should be good to go about it.

I have seen some people that says that because of the volatility of cryptocurrency, they will rather just trade coins in a short-term, including the famous bitcoin, and I am not again that, but short term trading comes with its prices too, most people that you have seen have fallen of panic sell are people that has built their mind to have the investment for a short term period.

As a long term investment, you will tie a particular number of year to your investment which will make you not to be worried even when you are seeing all these fluctuations in the market. I think that it still all depend on our choice though, I just think that long term investment gives more peace than a long-term investment and it is easy to make decision than short term.

If right from the onset, hunters are being selective of the project that they promote, I am sure the record of scam that has been recorded so far would not have been, at least if we will have any scam project scale through, it would not be as much as they were till they laid the ICO market to rest,  so we hunters are to be blamed to an extent also because we are not being picky of project, and we know that it is what we show to the investors out there that they believe which some of them believe that we must have done our research on them or enjoying some benefits from them for promoting them, I have seen many of my friend invest in some cryptocurrency because of me having seeing it through their Facebook page, so they believe that I will be dealing with something solid which promoted them to investing.

If we start having cryptocurrency banking again, then one of the features of cryptocurrency has already been defeated because part of the purpose of bitcoin is to eliminate the third party in our financial transactions which has been making transactions even more expensive because these third parties are more of their own pocket alone.

The financial system has already gone digital already and whatever banking system that we want is already at the palm of our hands, so I think that we should stop looking any further for any digital banking in form of physical establishment as it would not be much different from the already existing old fiat system of government which we are all trying to completely eliminate for a better financial transaction.

I think that world creating a system for the unbanked is what is really getting Facebook into issue right now which is why the government don’t even want to accept the Libra coin because the number of the unbanked people is very high and majority of even the banked that has been looking for the opportunity to leave the system of government would actually go for Libra coin.

I really still don’t know if Libra coin will be able to make it with all these attacks, but I hope that they do make it because with the contribution of bitcoin and Facebook Libra coin to the economy, there is really going to be a very huge success in the adoption of cryptocurrency worldwide. Europe might be against the coin, but there is really nothing that I feel they can do about it, just like the US cannot do anything to destroy bitcoin.

What will be, there is no point lying about your portfolio when you can just actually tell the truth and let who will believe you believe you. One of the problem that we are still finding today in the cryptocurrency market concerning exchange is that they fake their volume a lot, and we have seen how it eventually backfires for them in future, and this is exactly the part that you are trying to take also.

I will advise that you just be transparent about your deal man, there is no point adding figure, if you are good, continue trading in the right part to really show yourself approved to the world. Do not jump above your shadow, that percentage increase that you are looking for will, eventually come as you proceed in the trading that you are doing.

When it comes to bitcoin investment and trading, I think that people should always relax their mind about this coin because it is as reliable as anything good. Every bear market of bitcoin is a blessing, while its bullish trend is also a blessing, so we should not be seeing the price fall of bitcoin at any time as a sad moment.

It should be a moment where we should buy and then sell when it is high and anytime that we feel we have made mistake in buying, we should just leave that particular investment to correct itself as bitcoin continues to function well while we move on with the other investment. Anytime that I see bitcoin dip, I usually do not panic which I still expect more dip in price soon, and if bitcoin falls again, while people are scared and counting it as bear market, I will keep buying it.

^^ Yeah, the odds are view-able if you click on the "sports" tab at the top of the web page, then it redirects you to "prematch" ones where the games haven't started yet, there is also an option for "live" which basically is what it means, you gamble on games that goes on right now (if there is any) and there is "sports picks" which I assume is what your slip will be at when you gamble.

You may need to search around a bit for the games you want to bet, for example right now we are in weekend and league games still go on but it shows the champions league games as the top offer and those are the first ones you see, that is why if you want to bet on a league game you have to find the league at the left bar and click on the league and see the games, they are still there but not shown as the top offers.

I honestly think that we should really learn to be slow in tagging a site scam when we see one without properly verifying it to be true, issues would always arise and the best is to be patient in all manners first, contact the customer support and watch how the case is been resolved before putting it out to the public.

If there is really one site that I highly have regards for and can vouch for with my life mate, I think that it will be this fortune jack and I personally have never tried any site aside this,  it is trust worthy and I have never tried any other site since I started gambling. Everyone knows that fortuneJack can never be scam site and it shouldn't be tagged or thought it is.

Oh man, I have so many of those idiot days, the other day I mistakenly did "all in" betting thankfully I was doing 1.01 so there was a low chance of losing but of course when I didn't check it could have been a loss big time, thankfully I realized it after the second bet because I was looking at the results and stopped, those 2 bets were super risky even with high chance of winning.

I also once did mbtc and btc mistake, I thought I was betting 0.2 mbtc whereas I was betting 0.2 btc, so I was super close to losing all I have once again. When gambling we should be more careful but sometimes it gets such a mundane task to arrange all other things than just gambling itself that we want to skip all those details and want to reach to gambling part quickly and make mistakes.

Cryptocurrency has been existing for a very long time now, and now becoming much more popular, and as it is growing in popularity, the governments are meant to come up with any decision concerning it at any time, so this decision may actually not be because of Libra coin exactly, it could have been for so many reason.

There are so many stable coins, and Facebook has never revealed if their coin will be a stable coin, we have been the one exaggerating that Facebook coin will be in form of a stable coin, there was a point where Facebook also made a claim that their coin will operate same way as bitcoin and be able to yield profit for those that invested in it, so this decision may and may not be because of Libra but because of the general blockchain technology.

It is still because of lack of regulation that is giving wide room for these scammer to really have a breathing space and we really need this regulation so urgent so that there can be reduction in the rate they all come out now because the market is really getting too full of scam and childish project, and I would not want them to blame anyone when the market is really having more of bitcoin dominance.

If we can get this main problem of scam out of the market, I am sure that the market will surely be alive again. We really need activeness that we use to have in the cryptocurrency market, like the way it was in 2017 which I am sure that majority of us has really missed since these scammers started making people get discouraged about investing in the cryptocurrency market.

Poker is not something I really know, I like it and I love watching it, I played texas holdem mainly on zynga like fake poker games and for a little while at pokerstars to get the real feeling (literally deposited only 2 bucks and played on 1c 2c tables to see how it feels) so I can't really go into poker at sportsbet as well and feel like I have a chance, for me it will only be just entertainment and I doubt I would spend too much money on something that is purely entertainment with no hopes of making any profits at all. That is why for people like me I would suggest having some sort of promotion where if you wager too much money on sports part of the deal then you get some tickets for a grand tourney in the poker part? I don't know if that makes sense but it does feel like it would reel me into poker part.

I don't understand how people can like the fact that they got 500+ btc in profits as a whole and then lost 100 and then suddenly decide volatility is bad. Its the same people who said bitcoin is a worthless useless made up thing when it went from 20k to 3k but never really seen them talk about how awesome it is then when it went to 20k to begin with.

Same logic, these people like to collect their profits, make a decent return but then the moment they start to lose money "the volatility bla bla bla", well I am sorry but when you are investing in a casino and a casino that has even profited you before, then you are taking the risk that sometimes people will win, it is gambling there are ups and downs, on the long run house will always win but there will be short bursts of wins like this.

Yes, decentralized exchanges are typically more secured than using centralized exchanges, because it seems like it is quite difficult to actually hack a decentralized exchange, and I think In terms of trading also, it would have been better and even cheaper, but centralized exchanges seems to have the glory for this because they have more volume than decentralized exchanges.

If decentralized exchange had volume, they would have been by far better than cex in terms of everything, but since we have all chosen to support more of cex in this regards, I think that it is best we just continue to use binance which to me happens to be the best of all the exchange that we can ever see in the market.

I think so too and I also believe that this is actually the best entry point right now, this is the time for people to accumulate because there will be a full rebound of bitcoin within the some weeks' time, I don’t expect any reversal of price again, I know we have some people that are still expecting further decline to maybe $7000, which I fully doubt if this can be possible again. 

We have some doubting Thomas and that is how they will still see this value slip off now because they are still expecting more bottoms, from what I can see, I fully agree with you. Bitcoin will start recovering right now and maybe we could start with the former $10000 we had a drop from, and from this $10k, bitcoin can surely start breaking more barriers that could lead the value to $15k.

The worst enemy of a successful trade is to listen to news and take the news exactly the way it is presented without really verifying the news, this is exactly what leads to emotion, it is either you are anxious to take certain decision that will lead to you buying a particular coin when you are not supposed to place it or when you place a buy order when you are not supposed to do so, and the other part of the emotion that causes panic buy is to listen to fud, these creates anger and makes the trader or investor to cheaply exit the market without actually verifying if the fud is just to create dump by whales or real.

In my trade and in my investment, I never take action as regards news without me ever verifying the truthfulness of the news first.

I think it is a mistake that we tie the survival of these coins to the two coins as they have no business with them, majority of these coins when they were released came with the promise of having a good working product that people will like and be using from time to time, which is what should always create demand for them.

The more that people request for their product, they demand for their coin to purchase it and thereby making the value of the coin to grow, but instead, all of them are just working like Ponzi scheme, where they create a system that will take money from A to pay B and vice versa and at the end,  when they can no longer do that, they close down, I think these coins needs to really stand on their own and stop creating ideas that will invite users to them again.
