What I am thinking is that people will only use this means to have more addiction on gambling, they will think they can play frequently to turn little gain to higher profit. But in the process of frequent gambling, they may lose. Staking frequently on lower odds could be detrimental to their funds and possibly all capital may be lost. If I am a big whale, I would still prefer to go for a high odd, what I would look most into is for a bet to be valuable. Betting is not a way to make money, but should be fun, so I can still only use what I can afford to lose to bet.

-2.5 means Barcelona would not score up to 3 goals. But you well explained it later in a way I can understood what you were saying very well, you meant +2.5 for Barcelona. I couldn't see it on the sportbook I have funds on right now, I would have gone for it. What I could see is +3.5 for both team to (total score), which is 1.75.

I suppose to merit your post, but I have no merit left, thank you. If we check Barcelona previous matches, they score high, at least 3 goals, and their opponent is not scoring, going for +2.5 for Barcelona would be good. I would check other sportbooks that I have account with to see if they have the choice available so I can send money there.  1.7 odd is pretty nice. It is a type that it is worth losing my $10 for if the match go against the prediction.

On sportbooks, I have noticed some odds lower than 1.1. I definitely know that if people are not going for such low odds, bookmakers would stop adding such low odds. Even 1.08 is still better (understand me correctly, I am not saying it is better), I have noticed odds like 1.02 and 1.01. On in-play (live matches), I have even noticed 1.001 up to 1.005 to be included. Why are people going for these kinds of low odds?

Assuming I have $10 to bet with this week, going for 1.02 odd, the profit is $0.2. That means I have to bet 50 times of the same 1.02 odds to get $10 in return. But my $10 betting fund which I could lose in just a single bet. Is it worth it?

I am thinking it does not worth it at all. Why are some people going for non valued bet of such low odds? It would only encourage them to increase the amount of money they stake on a bet and yet losing it at once is possible. Not a good strategy at all.

What is your opinion?

Definitely, Barcelona would win this match, Elche has nothing than to lose, but how could this be a profitable bet for people, Barcelona odd is 1.083 on the sportbook that I am using. Would this be a profitable bet. The first half win is 1.33. Would it be what to go for? I haven't place bet on Barcelona since the start of this season, I think I can go for first half win which is 1.33. But if this go wrong, definitely I still believe that Barcelona would have win after full time match played.

Yes, thanks to the decentralized nature of bitcoin.

According to the news, bitcoin was not banned as a property in China, just not to be used as a currency. China has banned bitcoin several times, there is nothing impossible. Let us see what would come out of this when Chinese citizens have already know more truth about bitcoin in China.

China FUD several times. The last one yet was when the price of bitcoin falled from $63500 back to $45000 by Elon Musk manipulation, then followed by China FUD that drew the price further to $28900 or so. But what happened? Bitcoin increased back and reach all-time-high. We do not have to worry about this.

The case was about litecoin loan, but not only litecoin that is accepted. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are accepted, only that they do not accept cryptocurrencies as a currency, but citizens can have it as a property.

I guess that was a mistake, bitcoin is not litecoin.

What solution? Bitcoin has the strongest blockchain. Not affected by any attack, I mean 51% attack. The energy used to mine bitcoin are becoming cleaner which bitcoin miners are moving towards.

You are right, bitcoin is bitcoin while ethereum is ethereum. I am surprised that ethereum PoS is still very centralized with over 40% of its PoS node controlled by only two addresses.

40%+ Ethereum PoS nodes are controlled by 2 addresses says Santiment data

Gambling is not legalized in your country, then why looking for a means to make it possible to establish a gambling site in your country. It is not advisable for you, there are other lucrative businesses you can look into to establish which are legal in the country you are residing.

Alternatively would be to invest on gambling sites in a country gambling is legal and acceptable. Or you can find out about setting up a crypto based gambling site in a country gambling is legal to get legal licence.

I am not good in this, but just my view and opinion.

There are some blockchain gambling site that are existing. Just like there are centralized exchanges, that does not mean there are not decentralized exchanges, so in gambling too.

As long as you are using a centralized gambling site, they may request for KYC from you. I have not committed any crime, I am not a money launderer and I am not in support of any terrorism or online crime activity, the reason I played on those gambling sites. As long as they provide the services I want, that is all that matters, the reason people are using them. Not that is have huge amount there, so I do not consider not having privacy while making use of such gambling sites. I was once on many fiat based gambling sites before.

Mind this, crypto is not for anonymous payment, only few like monero, some means of transactions of litecoin, dash and zcash, including some other privacy cryptocurrencies are used for anonymous transactions.

I prefer football, but people also have different preferences. I do not like going for lawn tennis, but I prefer its in-play. To me, I see sport as sport, people even lose very well in football. I think it depends on preferences, some people have fun in the process of betting, especially those that stake just very small amount of money on each bet.

You only want to divert away from what the OP is talking about. A value bet is when you choose a team or a player with the odd having more probability of winning. If a player have 1.25 odds and have very high probability of winning, that is a value bet. But there are just some low odds that does not worth going for.

But there are prices that bitcoin can never fall to again, unless bad thing really happened that could collapse the whole crypto market. The lowest price I can think bitcoin would fall to was $14000, but it was surprising that it only falled to $17600 when I was expecting that. Bitcoin is at $19700 presently, but I am doubting if it would fall below $17600. No much analyses used than the 2018/2019 and 2020 fall pattern which makes me predict that bitcoin may not fall below $17600. But if it falls below that price, then I will just hold on to my previous thought which is $14000. With this, I believe that the volatility has decreased, but if falling below that price, which means bitcoin is just as volatile as 2016/2020, which is what I am not expecting at all to happen.

A very great disappointmet. It was a home match for Chelsea, yet it was a draw. The match was dominated by Chelsea but unable to score more than one goal. Dinamo Zagreb won Chelsea, Salzburg drew with Chelsea. Those are two clubs I thought Chelsea would win, but Chelsea disappointed us all. It is likely and having more chances that AC Milan would defeat Chelsea too which could be both home and away match. Very likely that Chelsea is either going for Europa or the Europa Conference League. I do not think Chelsea would have a place in Champions League in this season if care is not taken.

I am surprised that Livecasino is not there yet, you have to include it. Not because I am wearing the signature but because it is providing an excellent services to its customers,. It is one of the best casino you can be. You can try it out. I checked the lists of best new crypto casinos too, I did not see it. Or am I getting something wrong? But I do not think so because I used the search engines on the both sites and nothing like that come up. Livecasino is one of the best new casinos that also have official thread and active account on this forum.

Before using a casino or other gambling sites, better to research on the gambling site. If you have resersched well, you will notice that MBit is no longer a reputable gambling site on this forum and it is advisable for everyone to stay away from the gambling site if they do not want to be scammed. There are many active gambling sites on this forum, go to gambling board to check that. Use only the active ones with active official thread and account on this forum.

Barcelona is trying. Out if 5 matches, 4 matches won and I draw, no defeat. Which means Barcelona did not win all their matches. Only Real Madrid has suffered no defeat and no draw but all won this season in La Liga.

Do not forget that both clubs are good, and it is Allianz Arena, which is Bayern home. Not inter Bundesliga match but between a Bundesliga club and La Liga (a stadium that Barcelona do not play often). Do not see it surprising that Bayern may win that type of match.

Because Bayern defeated Barcelona in home match does not yet mean Bayern is stronger.

You do not have to think if it is a short break for bear market if you are a holder, hold bitcoin for long time period and see your coins worth to increase in value in 2 or 3 years to come.

For traders, they are not much concerned about bear or bull market, they trade in the direction favoured to make profit in short time period. But it can be other way, in a way losses would result instead of profit.

So goes to terrorism financing too, they require very tedious investigation. Yet terrorism continue to exist, so money laundering continues to exist too. Because a money launderer is using a website, gambling on the website, that does not mean the website would know, even the money launderers are having bank accounts successfully, and successfully using it with money laundering. But it is against one of the ToS of centralized platforms that involves money, if anything like that is noticed, the money would be seized just like I said before.

We are in bear market, this should not be a surprise.

What hype? Nothing more than significant reduction in power usage as the merge is about changing from PoW to PoS. No fee reduction and no improvement yet on scalability.

You talked about halving, which means positive even, not negative. Surely, halving would lead to another massive bull market.

But as long as the casino noticed the money is laundered, it would be seized.

Money laundered may be difficult to know or traced, but known, it would be seized for appropriate investigation.

I have used quite few crypto gambling sites, they include AML and other rules against criminal activities in their ToS.

Bitcoin reached half the price today as it got to $22680, but the daily chart is already indicating that bitcoin may not go further for now (never misunderstood me, we all know that the time for all-time-high is coming). I mean just for now. Maybe bitcoin price would still hit $25000, I do not know because indicators are indicating that there could be a mild downturn in a way bitcoin may not hit $23000 for now before the next price uptrend, but I can be very wrong.

You will do swing trades towards the upcoming trend. It was a significant bear market, then best to go towards the bull trend, make some profit and leave the market for a while.
