I don't think betting randomly on sports games will be profitable!! However, if you have correct knowledge about clubs and players, you will know where to place your bet. Sometimes our expectations do not work despite the knowledge we have regarding club performance! Because luck was not on our side and the club we bet on.  Undecided

Ofcourse.
Unless they are depending on sports-bettors who already have the knowledge, skills,etc, I don't see how people without talent/skill/knowledge will do well or earn consistently/sustainably in sports-betting. It's possible to get lucky all the time ... I believe it's only through divine aid though
Betting randomly on sports games will not give us a big chance to win because we don't know which teams or players who have the big opportunity to win.
We can lose our money anytime by randomly choosing, so it is better if we don't gamble if we don't know what team can win.
Depend on the sports bettors will not be a good idea if we don't know how good his skills in sports betting, and we might still lose the money if we follow them.
You need to search for the information from anywhere you can, so you can have the data that can be used to choosing the teams or the players.


Agreed..  Assuming by random bets you mean betting without the necessary skills, knowledge, talents etc... Or depending just on luck.
I would probably research and bet occasionally, if I ever go into sports-bettings

What does it take to get things synced fast? Powerful/dedicated hardware? Fast internet? Restructuring things?
Etc...

I think I'd rather allow/develop a system of Blockchains of different sizes for the crypto network to enable any kind of users run full nodes they can easily/quickly sync. The heavier jobs would be left for people with higher hardware and fast internet to handle. And I think appropriate incentives would be necessary to encourage anyone to do the jobs of running/syncing the full nodes in order to keep the network super secure. Millions should be running full nodes fairly easily.

Maybe if they begin to get the companies/organizations compensate the victims for such hacks, others will be too scared to have such sensitive information without proper and strongest possible security measures, and the hacks will likely stop becoming frequent.
 Losing your private data to hackers is a very dangerous thing that can happen and people hardly take this seriously.

Physicists study what exists. Although they (may) know what happened since the big bang. Some of them have studied of what may happen after trillions of years.


They don't know what happened because they can't recreate the so called big bang even by making tiny matter explode or "bigbanged", and self organized into the sophistication we have today. It's mere theory anyway.

I wonder how long it will take mere laptop to self organized into a laptop if you gather all the materials needed to make a laptop and you keep mixing them together in something like concrete mixer for many years. 1000years? 10000years? 1000000years? 1000000000000years? 10000000000000years?
The truth is that a mere laptop will never be created without an intelligent builder guiding its creation, not to talk of the extraordinarily sophisticated/complex things that occur in nature.

Well, your questions are the sort of things we ask ourselves when we encountered those theories in classroom. They make no sense. And only a SUPREME BEING Creation truth  makes sense
3026  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Virtual trading before actual one - pros and cons on: August 25, 2020, 10:36:45 AM
Ofcourse.
Sometimes I think some sort of real rewards (maybe inform points, rankings, etc) on the "virtual trading" or demo could encourage people to stick to learning, and help them learn almost like they would on the real ones. The rewards should be useful afterwards, and not something that is useless to you after earning them.
3027  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you believe magic real? on: August 25, 2020, 09:21:02 AM
I think magic is fake, only in the movie.
Magic in the real world doesn't exist.

I wouldn't have bother too much about this claim if people who should be awake don't believe it. Many do believe and go back to sleep.

The truth is that a world without a true CREATOR guiding it or without people depending on the True CREATOR is under heavy spell (or what people call mind control). Once the bondage/chain is broken, you depend on GOD and become free from the evil control and magic.
3028  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcoin casinos to surge in German market? on: August 25, 2020, 08:44:43 AM
Why the ban? Is it to prevent gambling (good thing to do, in my opinion) and betting addiction, or they just have disagreements with both companies (visa and mastercard), maybe concerning the issue of addiction and gambling? I didn't read the article unfortunately. Wish it was posted here.
that includes on the reason why they ban those payment procesors but it could also be ilegal/legal matters   . theres  even  crypto wallets that dont allow funds from gambling ,  something like that  .  they say theres an improvement or a good news after the said transaction happen . im happy for them

Well, I think Bitcoin/crypto casinos should allow only safe and responsible bettings. They have to do this and also respect good/sensible national laws.
this is implemented last time  . theres a rule that a gambler must follow and he must not exceed with those stated limits because there was a punishment.



I guess you mean "rules gamblers bettors must follow"... Or is gambling legal/allowed there? It's more like saying "there is a rule the drunkards (rather than drinkers) must follow. I think many bettors could misinterprete this as "it's OK to gamble but you have to follow certain rules". You see how it conflict with (or contradict) my initial post about not allowing gambling, and you seem happy about that.
3029  Economy / Gambling / Re: bet4freedom - NEW Free Prediction Thread on: August 25, 2020, 08:20:31 AM
Hi thank you for hearing our feedback well any reputable bookmakers will do we're not just comfortable here seeing 1xbit due to its many accusations here in the forum. Well the important thing for us is the tips you would be giving I'm going to follow your thread to see about your predictions and if your result is good then I'll not hesitate to join your Premium telegram group may I ask how many predictions you are giving on your premium group?
Hello,

In the next days there will be some analyzed odds for the bitcointalk community to gain trust here.


In the VIP Group you will get every week 3-4days profitable odds for a one time payment and this is lifetime!

bet4freedom

lets see first the outcome of your free tips here and what will be the winning percentage. i am seeing an expensive payment because it is a lifetime deal. you should offer packages like 3 months or 6 months or couple of years. how sure are you that you will be here in a very long period of time to cater your clients?


Didn't click on the link to see how much op really charges for this, but I think he/she shouldn't start charging yet until proofs are provided that show he/she is good at the predictions and profitable in it too. Beside, new accounts have little to nothing at stake on the forum. Wish something very valuable could be staked, considering the amount involved. This should help forum members who are interested or want to verify the claim.

3032  Other / Off-topic / Re: Does Waking Up at 5am Increase Your Chances of Being Successful on: August 24, 2020, 03:50:37 PM
This is true that sleeping early and waking up early is healthier than staying up for long periods and waking up late because this relaxes the nervous system and gives it enough time to rest and sleep


Mine probably depends on how rested I was before staying awake, what I ate, or how late/early I ate. If i eat healthy and light(usually at the appropriate time), I'd stay awake till I start feeling sleepy ... On many occasions I'd be feeling very alive and awake throughout the night(usually 6pm to 4am) that sleeping would seem like waste of time.
3033  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What can be the reasons for this exponential growth of #DeFi? on: August 24, 2020, 11:14:46 AM
I guess, "easy money" pouring into something that is probably not well tested/reviewed for true decentralization and safety.  Decentralization matters alot here because  it's called "Decentralized" Finance, so why build centralized things on Decentralized Finance (DeFi)?  The centralized ones could simply use the crypto-based CeFi (to avoid the confusion) and maybe comeback on Defi once they have become properly decentralized and safe.
I think it'll be unfortunate if people are not asked to put in what they can afford to lose, as such projects develop and go through testing/beta phase.
 It'll be tolerable though if the tokens are gotten for free... and something really decentralized, good, useful and safe/secure is being built. The opposite of this coupled with staking could easily drive price up on the DeFi ecosystem in similar manner yam price rose up.
And I think if you make the money/token a bit harder to have (people get them through hardwork on the platform & not given unnecessarily for free), and without unnecessary staking/coin-lockup, price won't be skyrocketing this early. This doesn't mean staking is not good... The right staking should be encouraged or used.


3034  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: bitcoin, ethereum etc. cryptocurrency or digital asset? on: August 24, 2020, 10:03:56 AM
Well, I don't think it's necessary to deny the truth about something in order to suit the words or phrases use in national laws. The truth is that they are currencies (cryptocurrencies),  can also be called digital assets. What is wrong or immoral about calling them cryptocurrencies/currencies?

Governments can however choose to call centralized ones whatever reasonable they want, (maybe token?). They can even call the decentralized ones thesame thing but shouldn't stop crypto/decentralized communities or other people from calling them by their real name (cryptocurrencies).
3035  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Football Strategies to apply on a betting exchange on: August 24, 2020, 09:18:04 AM
If you really want to win at betting on sports or etc. You should know how to observe and be measure things. First look at the different statistics of each teams and find their strengths and weaknesses for you to be able to know if the team you are choosing has the potential to win against their opponent.

If you look at the Tier 1 and 2 teams the odds should be pretty fair and will give you a good indication on who will likely win. There are so many people looking at the big teams like PSG for example that I it will be very hard to find thing that everyone else missed. Since the football matches are back during the pandemic I started to bet only on fairly sure games where the risk of losing is fairly low. Sure the winning are low too but it's better than to lose money at the moment.
We are not going to see different tier teams competing each other too often so it is not going to work for someone who are interested on betting regularly.But it is also easier to analyse if the odds are pretty low and not much people gonna bet on such games the real betting begins only with to head to head rivals plays and also lot of manipulation may get involved.



Betting on sure games could also mean not betting regularly/always.   If I find a game I am sure about, I will probably put in more time and abit more money on game and bet occasionally on it. This should compensate for not betting regularly on things I didn't research properly on or sure about winning.
3036  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sports betting: how much knowledge is too much on: August 24, 2020, 08:14:47 AM
I've been experimenting with betting on sports, and for now I don't see a difference between when I'm making an educated bet and just betting blindly looking only at the odds. It hasn't been long, however, so I'll keep experimenting.
My question is about a related matter. When I've asked in a different thread what is required to become a good bettor, many have mentioned that knowing the games, the teams and things like that is essential. But I'm sure there's a certain limit to this flow of information, and when this limit is reached, it's not useful and is even potentially harmful for making the decision. If a person is betting on a soccer match and reads about every match of every person on every team, plus weather forecast, plus research on home advantage etc., the amount of information can be overwhelming and probably not that important or useful to bet on the outcome a particular match. What do you think: is there a rule that would help not to drown in information but only focus on what is helpful? Or is it 'the more, the better' in your opinion?


I thought there are people providing this service for sports-bettors just as some cryptocurrency traders sometimes depend on market research provided by other services (paid/free) to trade on fundamental analysis.
I guess such service (especially the specialized/dedicated ones) should also exist for sports-betting, assuming it doesn't exist already

I mean the scaling method used here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5224657.msg53809244#msg53809244

That is:

📁Super-Chains  & Super-Nodes

📁Big/Medium Nodes & Big/Medium Chains

📁Small/Micro Nodes & Small/Micro Chains
3039  Other / Off-topic / Scaling of the decentralized Spreedsheet/Photo app, plus stronger Privacy on: August 23, 2020, 10:43:16 AM
✴ Important Note:

I think you can scale number 1 & 2 (below) thesame way number 3 is scaled. What I find important in scaling them in that manner is that it will become easy to run the *Decentralized spreedsheet and image apps* (see 1 & 2 below) on mobile/light devices like phones.



1. A decentralized spreedsheet for storing & verifying private info
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5264778.msg54876690#msg54876690

2. Interesting way to "blur" and store images on decentralized system
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5260086.msg54735471#msg54735471

3. Interesting way to get millions of people run full nodes.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5224657.msg53809244#msg53809244



✴Another important thing:

For strong privacy, it's important to always fill the spreedsheet cells in your block/range with many "false" names, addresses, DoB, and other private information. This is to make it very hard for someone who manages to gain unauthorized access to the private info of an individual from knowing the exact private info that belongs to the owner of a block/range.

I guess you could consider things like this abuse of deflation especially if the projects aren't very useful, safe, efficient, and with other strong Blockchain/decentralized-tech fundamentals.
 If you don't get such "skyrocketing" projects to follow the right strict crypto standards and rules, others projects following the strict standards/rules wont be encouraged to continue to do what is right.
By the way, people should really be doing very useful things on the projects and not just locking up their coins. And their deflation should be moderate & regulated. Free market has to be right/moral.
