couple of times i guess?because i usually go with the group of friends if whats their choice then i will ride with them,but the most unforgettable in 2017 July 2.

this is the match awaited fight of younger fighter Jeff Horn against our very own Manny Pacquiao when it turns out that all of them are betting with Manny and theres a little amount left for Manny's side when in Jeff has plenty so what i did is secretly bet for Pacquiao's opponent and luckily?i won over them and it is atleast 400$ that time  Grin
I can only imagine how much you really felt on that day brother, it must be amazing. Keeping the records with date makes it really memorable game for you. It's not easy to take such risk and I believe you only got rewarded for being a risk taker lol, it really pays to take risk sometimes and that is what makes us a man.
 
I wish to be among those who take this kind of risk someday but for now I have never. I just fear to lose the little money I have and I always tell myself it's safer to lose along with majority than to lose alone. I don't think I have regrets doing this but most times when I read the success story of those who have stayed alone, I wish I can also share mine that way.

Floyd  makes a lot of money in boxing and for sure he knows what he is doing.

There's never a rumor that he suffered a problem in gambling like he lost a lot of money because he is a discipline gambler like as discipline as he is as a boxer.  They gamble big but they can afford to bet that amount since they are making a lot money being celebrities, I don't know if we can call it easy money but its their money so they have the right to spend it the way they want, even if it looks like they are just wasting it.
It’s not a crime to gamble and Floyd is not doing anything wrong. He has made alot of money from boxing and I don’t see any crime in choosing to relax his mind or have fun gambling. it’s very possible that his gambling activities is just for fun and that to me is really interesting.

I am always motivated to gamble more whenever I hear the names of my favorite celebrities being mentioned on gambling list, the only one that is not right will be those who play excessively without self-control and I think they are few. I have made up my mind that regardless the status I achieve in life, or the achievements I make, I wouldn't stop gambling because gambling gives the level of fun that cannot be gotten from any game.

There is no alternative at the moment, because all expected news have failed to achieve hype. We need something really strong like several SEC approvement to push the market from the dead point and I hope it would happen before the end of 2019.
SEC is out of the equation for now, and I think that we should look at the bigger things that are ahead of us. There is something so spectacular about next year, you know Facebook will surely release their coin next year which will be one of the biggest factor that will attract lots of investors to the altcoin market, and next year is also the halving of bitcoin, you know this is no doubt one of the factors that usually call in very high price for bitcoin and some altcoins that do follow bitcoin to increase.

The best of this news is the Ethereum that will be releasing their version 2.0 that same 2020, these are going to be a very big blast for the altcoin market. Don’t you agree with me that the year ahead of us is one that has been destined to change our story? We should just use this year to prepare for it.
3044  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: When will Altcoins come out of the Bear Market? on: October 12, 2019, 03:37:32 PM
I predict it will happen every 4 years because from 2103 there was no high increase for 4 years until the end of 2017, but this is just my prediction it could be wrong.
altcoin season comes when BTC has gone up and then stabilized in a certain range for quite a long time.
The question is what price for Bitcoin will be high and will remain at a stable level. Perhaps this price is 15,000 dollars. At this price, of course, everyone will invest in Altcoins, which have fallen in value by 10-20 times.
People would not because of bitcoin at $15000 start investing in altcoins, even if bitcoin reaches $20000, if altcoins remain the way they are unserious, I mean bringing up bad projects that are not attractive to people, they will still not put their money. The survival of altcoin is about putting money into the market, and every individual and every investor has a feeling, if they don’t feel too comfortable with altcoin investment, they will rather continue to buy bitcoin, even if they cannot buy the whole of it.

Whatever triggered altcoin boom in their last season will really need to work very hard and I think it is Ethereum, of which Ethereum is even disappointing so many people now because of their platform, and it feels like they don’t have new ideas to bring to the public again.
3045  Economy / Economics / Re: Why Bitcoin is not that good as currency? on: October 12, 2019, 07:46:14 AM
Why would it be impossible to cash out crypto if it is illegal in a country? There is literally no way anyone can know about you cashing out as long as you do not use a bank account. There are tons of places where you can cash out your bitcoins in paper form (cash) instead of bank account, one of them is literally localbitcoins.com, you can meet with people there and do whatever you want.

Obviously, it would make it very difficult and challenging but at the same time it is just a hurdle, not a total ban, they can't totally ban it and stop you doing something like that. However when countries tax it and make it legal, they make a ton of profits from it, hence I think countries realized there is no way to stop bitcoin so best course of action would be taxing it.
3046  Economy / Economics / Re: First Bitcoin ATM in Venezuela on: October 12, 2019, 06:04:16 AM
After the economy in the Venezuelan state was destroyed their government began to look to plunge into the world of Cryptocurrency to turn things around, Venezuela hopes that Bitcoin will be able to boost the economy that has fallen back, so that the new ATMs launched there are a form of support from their government.
To an extent, Bitcoin would have actually help them to do some damaging control to their economy if they had fully implemented it also, but it seems that they are still not fully into it as I have already seen where they have a proposal to create their own cryptocurrency which is to be called petro coin, and I really don't think that this coin will get so much support as some countries like US is already saying some negative stiff about it.

Though to an extent, it is not actually of any business of USA to discredit a project that they feel will help their country, but instead of creating their own coin, I would rather have preferred that they work with a currency that is not being controlled. If they come up with their own currency now, I am sure that we will still have some people that will still hijacked it and still be able to manipulate it.
3047  Economy / Gambling / Re: Primedice.com | Creators of Dicing 🎲 | 29 Billion Bets | 112+ BTC Jackpot! on: October 12, 2019, 05:30:18 AM
Here is the winners list for the 28th raffle:
Oh shucks, I didn't get anything from the raffle. Well better luck next time, I am pretty sure I made more free wagered money from primedice (not just giveaways and bonuses, competitions, promotions etc as well) than I gambled in like 10 other casinos, there are only few casinos I gambled more in wagered number than I gambled with free money I got on primedice.

At one point primedice was literally doing challenges every single week where we get to try our luck and back then I made so much free money that I gambled around 0.1 total just from those (lost all like a true gambler of course Cheesy) All in all I would say raffle would have been expected by me, I have been that much lucky with primedice so not being there is a total shock Cheesy.

Congratz to all winners and good luck Smiley.

Yeah, american streak is something I just can't join anytime soon, I just don't understand those games at all Cheesy. I really love NBA and that is great but all other games are too foreign to me, I never watched any nfl or nhl games that I could say I knew what is going on. Leaving that aside it is still amazing to get freebets no matter how much or how many times, it could be couple cents for a few times and I would still be super glad, it could be few hundred and many times that requires you to gamble, I would still be super happy because if it doesn't work at worst I have nothing, if it works I have something, there is no downside to it at all.

I will be focusing on upcoming premier league games and other league games, they would probably make me feel better since I understand them a bit.
3049  Economy / Speculation / Re: How to predict Bit coin price. on: October 12, 2019, 04:16:07 AM
Any body here now how to predict bitcoin price. Or is there a hint how when to buy and when to sell bit coins. Or how to make profits on buying and selling bitcoins.? I want to try buying and selling crypto currency.
We all know that no one can predict the bitcoin price if you are the one holder bitcoin you must have patience to wait the right time you can sell your bitcoin. And wait again the right to buy a bitcoin if the price goes down. So no one here can predicted it sir.
We have many people that has predicted the price of bitcoin in the past, and recently too, there is this guy on this forum that I ever regret not listening to because I am one of these people that believes you should never listen to people’s opinion, and because of that I totally ignored him when the price of bitcoin was just climbing above $13k, he actually predicted that the market will fall back to $10k, and really, the price was perfectly accurate and around the time he speculated it.

This could not have been a coincidence, the price was perfectly predicted, but what I agree with is that few are these people that know how to actually predict bitcoin, and many people that do predict are just predicting out of instinct and not with fact or analysis.
3050  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will Bitcoin Get into the $8600 Zone? on: October 12, 2019, 03:33:08 AM
I have noticed something about bitcoin, at the point that bitcoin is being celebrated is when the price dumps, but at the point where bitcoin is being frowned upon is when bitcoin starts to decline in value which I think this has been the nature of bitcoin even since inception, it was at the point that people were forgetting about bitcoin that it started rising so high till it reached the last all time high that we are still waiting for to be achieved right now, and I believe that in future with time, the value of bitcoin will increase almost 2x of the last all time high.

It is now that many people were even predicting that they are seeing bitcoin fall to $7000 that it started making a whole lot of recovery and this is indeed a very good news. People will be encouraged again to stay lively.
3051  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Bounty hunters needs to start respecting themselves on: October 11, 2019, 06:20:06 PM
Bounty hunters please start claiming your worth, do not go around promoting bounty projects that has too low allocation, i was surfing around on this forum today and i saw new bounty projects that have allocation worth of 1000dollars and they even have separate campaigns, why are people promoting such projects? you are the ones responsible for how developers are treating bounty hunters, there is nothing wrong if you decide not to work for penny... Even some airdrops on this forum has 8$ worth of allocation, just imagine that
It is really madness from some of these developers, it shows that they don't respect us and they lack respect for our work also, why would someone actually allocate such amount for a job that will take thousands of people weeks to complete, do they really think that it is very easy to do, I think that you are kind of right, it needs to get to that stage where we have to just start ignoring some of these projects and stop being desperate, they use us for a work of millions and then pay penny.

I see those projects as being greedy and some of them are the types that usually end up being a scam project. The allocation must at least be moderate, they should not allocate too much and they should not allocate too low, because most high allocations too that I have seen are the worst, they end up not even paying a dime.
3052  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum Still Believe in 2.0 on: October 11, 2019, 04:07:04 PM
It is their project, so what do you expect if they don’t believe in their own project, then who will?
I am patiently waiting for the Ethereum 2.0 also, let me see what the effect  the upgrade will do and I think upgrading the platform is not the only thing that needs to be looked into, because when it comes to chain system, we have lots of alternatives now and I think that the major thing that is giving Ethereum a bad name and why their project died is because of very awful projects that are coming through them, which is what I think needs to be taken care of first and has to do with their policy.

IEO is dominating now, because investors can rely on someone protecting them and helping them filter bad projects from the good ones, and this, Ethereum does not do.
3053  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How Sure Are You That You Invested In A Right New Coin? on: October 11, 2019, 03:05:11 PM
I made a big mistake last time and that's why I ensure that the coins that I bought will go up. I've spent a lot of time and effort in trading that's why it makes me a better trader where I can now make good decisions.
There is no coin that really has much guarantee on them, except bitcoin and the first 10 coins that this coinmarketcap listed, both trading and investment.  There are lots of altcoins that started well at the beginning, but has given up along the line, so a coin may be performing well for the first 6 months and maybe extend to one year, but once it gets to a stage where they are having more of people dumping their coin than using it, they tend to fold up easily.

So, no matter the assurance that you think you have for a coin, their lifespan usually does not extend more than just 1 year, the only project that I have seen that have lasted for long and which I know will last more are still those coins that are top  coins sitting on an exchange or CMC.
3054  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Often Do you Bet on Politics? on: October 11, 2019, 01:50:12 PM
I used to bet on politics back in those days until I lost in a bet typically because of electoral malpractices. My country is one of the worst country that elect leaders based on their wealth or sometimes bases on their influence. Having such a worst political platform will not encouraged gamblers to get involved in the game of betting. There  is no way you will be able to predict my country political elites when it come to politics.
I won’t be asking too much if I ask for the name of your country right? Because it sounds likes one of the African countries I know that are known for the highest rate of corruption. All countries are corrupt but some countries are extremely corrupt and they make life really difficult for their citizens. You can imagine the fear of gambling because of the fear of manipulation.

I don’t gamble on politics because it doesn't occur regularly, and I am not even into politics, definitely going to play on politics gambling is like a deliberate act to go and throw away money. I have only tried gambling on politics once and I didn’t regret losing the money because I knew I would loose of course. The game is for those who are current with political happenings.
3055  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Season on: October 10, 2019, 05:05:08 PM
Clippers is not as good as people make them out to be, they still have a glaring problem under the basket and any team that have a good center could feast on Clippers. Think about Sixers and embiid+simmons playing with their size inside, they could destroy Harrel and whoever they decide to play on PF position. Kawhi can't play PF for too long, I am pretty sure PG+Kawhi will be SG-SF instead of SF-PF so there will need to be some people who Guard other teams PF as well and if its tall than its a problem, if Lakers come up with lets say Howard+Davis at bigs, who could guard them?

Clippers is an amazing team and they are definitely one of the biggest contenders of the season but lets not act like they are as good as Warriors few years ago when they basically swept the whole playoffs.
3056  Economy / Economics / Re: Which currency will dominate the crypto market? Please vote! on: October 10, 2019, 03:56:44 PM
An interesting question, of course, but it is definitely impossible to answer it, since no one can predict what the market will be in the future. But according to Coinmarketcap statistics, it is clear that Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP are leading
If cryptocurrency gets the chances of surviving, I think that bitcoin will be the main coin that will surely dominate the market and dominate all currencies because right now, it seems like it is the one that is the major coin that people have really relied on, when it comes to fiat system, bitcoin technology supersede them, and when it comes to cryptocurrencies, bitcoin is still their king.

Since Ethereum has been establish, they even came with the intention of sending bitcoin away from the market, but now, people would rather prefer to make all their transactions through bitcoin than to make any through Ethereum. If we are looking for an alternative to bitcoin in future, I think that is when we can think of making use of Ethereum s the alternative because we don’t have a choice.
3057  Economy / Economics / Re: The re-accumulation period is in on: October 10, 2019, 12:05:59 PM

Some people never stop buying, I have met a person who literally has a automatic purchase of bitcoin every month on his credit card, he uses a website that withdraws 100 bucks from his credit card every month to buy bitcoin automatically. As long as people like that exists we are going to be fine in the long run.
Those kind of investors who are investing for the future success of this industry, there's no good entry position as they are believing that the market will grow eventually. Long term target to maximize the potential profits. Some might think that it's a risky move but to those who completely trust this venue of investment they will proceed and trust. after all, it is the future that will dictates the outcome, accumulating will be on the investors complete understanding to this investment.
I am not against a believer of bitcoin having a plan to at least hold certain percentage of his money in bitcoin wallet every month, but programming it down is what I don’t really buy into. I feel that the investment should be handled manually, as in, you watch the market first to see the best time to manually purchase it which really does not take time.

If we program it down now, and then bitcoin suddenly rose at the time the card was programmed to purchase, would the card not go and  buy at a peak period which will eventually backfire for him and defeat the objective of its long term investment, and even as a long term investor, there should be a time that one must break the investment to later continue, as in when bitcoin reaches its new all time, high, it would be unwise not to withdraw it and keep purchasing.
3058  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🎲EOSBet.io - Licensed Casino Platform 🎲Provably Fair 🎲NOW ACCEPTING BTC ₿ on: October 10, 2019, 08:18:59 AM
GP, I have a serious question. Why do you think people are obliged to come here and prove to you that they have invested into eosbet?
Where did I say that EOSBet victims are obligated to post here?

IF there are victims, the profile of EOSBEt will really look something like this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=874254
It ain't happening because we got paid by the platform for holding our Bet. You wanna hold BET, buy some and when you don't get the pay, you can complain yourself.
Eosbet doesn't "pay you for holding your bet" , thats literally the system, its a decentralized blockchain system where if you have bet token you get eos in return, its automatic, nobody really pays you, nobody clicks send button to give you money, its all automatic. ANYONE can go buy some bet token from binance right now, put it on their eosbet account and start getting paid constantly, its all automatic and even the team doesn't have any power over that.

The owners and developers can't just say "don't pay this guy" or something, no matter who you are, no matter how much money you have, you will be getting paid. Even GP who has been against eosbet for literally market reasons (he will find some other reason when bet token goes up in price) can buy bet token and make money with it, the team won't be able to do anything about it.
3059  Economy / Gambling / Re: Primedice.com | Creators of Dicing 🎲 | 29 Billion Bets | 112+ BTC Jackpot! on: October 10, 2019, 07:29:50 AM
Don't you think Primedice should increase the prize pool?
The first winner has won 0.036 BTC with wagering 143 bitcoins and 1.43 expected loss. So I don't think 0.036 BTC is valuable amount. Also, the second winner has wagered 24.5 BTC and won only 0.019 BTC. If the prize pool is increased, I am sure more gamblers will be attracted.
They are not forcing anyone to bet 143 bitcoins to become the winner tho, they are giving away a certain amount of money and that is all up to you to decide how much you want to bet, if you want to bet 143 bitcoins you can, if you want to bet 1 btc you can, if you want to bet 0.1 btc then you can.

The rankings are not in the control of primedice, they do not decide who will wager how much, of course it is great for them if people wager a lot but there is no requirement to wager that much to get the prize, people just bet way more than needed because they can and because they want to. So, what could primedice do about it? Tell people to not gamble that much and make them profits? There is no way a casino should do that, it would be suicidal, they are here to make money.
3060  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The price you will buy and sell btc? on: October 09, 2019, 05:41:35 PM
Definitely it might go down below $7k and that's the signal to buy and hodl it until it reaches more the the ATH, and there is a high possibility that the price could rise before the end of this year. 

The price of bitcoin today is a really good deal and can give us a lot of profit if we bought now but we could wait and if it will go low more.
I have heard this prediction of $7k several times, and bitcoin has really not gone below $8k, the last time bitcoin went down to $8k before bouncing back to $10k, many people still predicted that $7k will be visible, but till now, many people are still hanging and not able to invest which is how they will finally miss out of the train.

In bitcoin investment, it is very dangerous to delay an investment when the price has already fallen, because what is expected to happen at any given time after fall of price is recovery, and recovery may happen at any time, so instead of any one that is interested to wait for that $7k, I think they can still make some investment now that it is on the lane of $8k, our target is still like $40 within the next 2 years which I think it is a very good profit for someone that will but at $8k.
