Would be much easier just to make gambling legal, that way you will avoid all the illegal gambling problems and you have more supervision. You will also avoid money laundering that way.
They can make it legal but if those operators are not willing to follow such laws, they have no choice but to hide and be in the chase because of being declared as illegal activity. Also, the country or the place if there's a certain locale rule about gambling, even if they want to become legal, that will stop them from being legal if it's related to religious or traditional setup. In that way, they have to find a better place where they're welcomed. These illegal operators will be very confident if they know the government has struggle in cracking down illegal gambling operators. It should start from the government or the regulators itself, if they showed their strict implementation, then those running illegal casinos will hesitate as they might face a serious consequences.

As long as bitcoin continues its high dominance, nothing can beat bitcoin, it will remain in the top. Bitcoin has an anonymous creator, and that's the purpose of bitcoin which is to bring anonymity and the brand of our market is bitcoin, without bitcoin crypto would not be popular.
Bitcoin will not give anonymity, the creator is anonymous but that is a completely different story altogether and it started the market but what does it do in the context for other coins. BNB rallied and you should thank ETH for that as the delay in transaction has forced some developers to move to BSC and that helped them gain momentum. Bitcoin is anonymous if you will stay to be anonymous, same thing with other coins, if you submit to the KYC requirement than that would make you vulnerable of getting trace, that's what I was explaining though.. I understand there are some privacy coin like Monero, but they are not getting much attention in the market unlike what bitcoin gets.

i believe this bull run will not over before bitcoin hit about $100K and ethereum reach about $4500 - $5000
hmmmm... that's interesting prediction but it's still too far for bitcoin to touch 100k rate. We are going back again to the moon but it seems like this time the market is slowly building another strong support. 51k resistance already passed. Just hope that there will be more big companies will try to load more bitcoin like tesla. that will give a very big support to the market and the bullish trend will be repeating again for crypto. Think about bitcoin must have surpassed 60k first. Until bitcoin hit $59k, I would not be too excited to see a new ATH which could further bring bitcoin to a higher price like our target which is $100k. Imagine how big that is already, that's almost 100% increase from the current price, it's not that easy but it's possible if the market is still in bull run state.

Corruption is everywhere even in sports, even if the government will intervene, there are still greedy people who will commit a crime to serve their personal interest. Sports fixing brings big money to fixers, that's why they will not stop if they will not get caught, this is not new, not only in our country but it's all over the world as the world game fixing is happening in every country.
Government itself is corrupt so don't exclude them. About soccer games too they are involved in bribing if selling of games to their opponent. If a country's FA is involved in a bribe to win natch, then is the country that is the bribe. Fixing of match is not only for clubs but countries do that. I think that's a huge accusation, that's cheating in a large scale which I don't think is really happening blatantly. What I only know is the rigging of sports happening only involves few players or officials but not this whole country thing.

Bull run not over, markets as at now are just finding a way to get liquidity to push price up, so any weak hands will be formed to panic sell to the sharks and in no time price will be hitting or breaking it's all time high and for the year 2021 cryptocurrencies have had a fair share of media coverage,
Bitcoin keeps coming back, it dump below $50,000 but it's now coming back again. It's been trying many times to rise to the higher grounds but it's constantly been rejected, if bitcoin won't be able to break that resistance, then maybe that's the start that it could go down to $30k. imo I see more first time users boarding the crypto ship which will contribute to having a bull market. They're here because of FOMO, and that is not good because they'll also be the first to panic when the price starts to dump.

I'm on the opposite team mate, Wizards just surprised me recently, they have been playing like a good team and in fact in their last 10 games they are 7-3. They might have a bad home record but I believe they will give a fight here, and I like the fact that they are the home underdog, so much value for this team.
Crappy performance from Kawhi Leonard. Congratulations to the Clippers team, they just made their first 3 game losing streak of the season before the All Star Game. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Someone got dizzy before the game. LA Clippers' Paul George late scratch vs. Washington Wizards because of dizzinessHe said it's a must win game and then all of a sudden he was the one feeling sick. Clippers just fall asleep and they did not see Westbrook sneaking out to steal that offensive rebound, if they secure the rebound, they could have tied the game or even win by a 3 point, but no, they slept and Wizards won. While Clippers had their 3 losing streak, Wizards are slowly climbing to the playoff ladder, they are 7-3 in the last 10 games.

~ So this is not only about losing, even if a boxer will win he can also feel depress? I never know that but I'm glad it's been shared. So probably the depression Wilder has been going through is more serious since this is coming from a big loss in their rematch and it might take time before he can accept which is the only way for him to recover from that depression.
Anyone can go into depression at any given moment. The pressure of an athlete or any celebrity is high as every move is scrutinized and talked about and when you are in the spotlight all the time you might start feeling the pressure and to overcome that they will start using drugs to ease up their nerves and then it will end up as an addiction which will destroy them. Tyson Fury came out and told his issues so that if anyone is going through the same issues his experience could help them recover from these depressions. Yes, and that's why many athletes really succumb to their own success and became self-destruct just like what we witnessed of Wilder right now and evidently it is very serious, spewing allegations after allegations. Anyways, the Joshua vs Fury will go down as one of the biggest Heavyweight fights we have. If not for Covid-19, I think it can break PPV numbers and live gate attendance, specially if it is going to be held in British soil. What's the biggest PPV in the fight, was it Mayweather vs Pacman? These are just predictions, we don't know yet how fans will treat this fight, IMO, it's a sure fight but I don't think it's popular enough to break the biggest PPV in boxing history. While the vaccine is already available, I guess with proper scheduling they can allow a gate entrance and this fight will generate a huge revenue from live audience.

That's surely an easy way to bet since most of the times the bet which has higher winning probability has more odds. But personally I don't like this kind of bet since the risk to reward ratio is often bad in these kind of bets. Bigger Odds have less rewards and the risk taken doesn't add up to the reward. ~snip No you are wrong, the risk to reward ratio remains the same AFAIK, odds are lower BECAUSE the risk is lower too. The implied probability of winning is the inverse of the (decimal)odds. With 50% chances of winning you'll have a betting odds of 2.0 With 25% chances to win you'll get 4.0 So when winning chances double, the reward halves. That 2.0 is not really the actual 50% chance of winning because if you look at the other side, the odds will be like in this example. TEAM A -2.5 (1.90) vs TEAM B +2.5 (1.90).. so if you want a 2.00 for TEAM, maybe you need to drop the spread to +1.5 which lower your chance of winning as well.

But that means a x2 value now for BNB. At some point it looks far more certain to happen than for ETH to hit x2 (which would be $3000) or BTC to hit x2 (which would be $100,000), but you just never really can tell with crypto, can you? See the thread title about BNB, is it still about the future of exchanges you think? We can never tell but we know that price will not hit that high easily, there's a bull run and there's always a correction. The problem with some of us is we are too easy to believe that the bull run will not stop despite witnessing what has happened in the past. When are we going to learn?

Fighting Manny Pacquiao is a dream to many upcoming boxers just to launch them to stardom but the case with Terence Crawford is that even though he never had a big pay day now he might be dream of making them one day as he is having an undefeated record and the boxers do care about their undefeated record to make money in the final years of their career and fighting Manny even at his age is not an easy target ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) . Terence Crawford is not a rookie. He has a total of 37 fights to his name (with an unbelievable record of 37-0, with 28 knockouts). This dude is really a beast. If you have seen in YouTube how he destroyed Amir Khan and Egidijus Kavaliauskas, then you will understand. It is going to be one of the toughest challenges for Manny Pacquiao. It is definitely going to be more difficult when compared to his fight against Keith Thurman. If the odds are favorable, I will be making a bet for Crawford. I will also be betting on Terence Crawford if this fight materialized. I think Terence Crawford is one of the best in his division at this moment. But the main reason I am confident to bet on Crawford is that this fight is not a really fair match. Manny Pacquiao is very talented but talents do not remain in old age. If they do, they are not as sharp as when you are at your prime. Doubtless, Manny is far from his prime already. I don't even think Manny is still capable of knocking out an enemy, especially not Crawford. Bookies does not believe that Manny is the better fighter here. I read an article before and it says that Manny is the underdog of the fight, so if you are betting on Crawford, you will not get an equal win for your money. But of course, you believe Crawford will win so just follow what you think so you will not regret and you will also love cheering on the boxer that you are betting with.

The way its price is increasing at the present time, many people think that its price will go above $ 300. Do you think so?
Not only possible but it's going to happen for me Binance is the undervalued coin in the market it's price should be closer that Ethereum, they are the one of the most in demand coin in the market because of the introduction of their DeFi, and their exchange's many features, they are miles away from their nearest competitor in the exchange industry. Binance did surprised us achieving a new ATH this year, recently at top 3 now down to top 5, but it doesn't matter Binance will bounce back strong like it usually does. It's current ATH is $335, so I guess the the answer of this thread is yes. https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/binance-coin/![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FqXrgUFv.png&t=663&c=WmmbAI6WzxSp0g)

it is still too early if BNB is sbeut as one of the coins that can replace bitcoin although the development of BNB looks very good but there are other coins that are more appropriate namely ethereum Volumes are still in the hands of ethereum than BNB so I still believe in ethereum even then of course it takes a very long time
In general, neither Ethereum nor BNB will be able to beat Bitcoin at any time, tokens that are already popular such as Ethereum and BNB are the basics of users and token enthusiasts, while Bitcoin has exceeded that, you can see Bitcoin Volume, Bitcoin Community, How many Bitcoin enthusiasts and Bitcoin users, even though in terms of price it has been defeated by the YFI DeFi token, but in position and others it cannot be beaten. As long as bitcoin continues its high dominance, nothing can beat bitcoin, it will remain in the top. Bitcoin has an anonymous creator, and that's the purpose of bitcoin which is to bring anonymity and the brand of our market is bitcoin, without bitcoin crypto would not be popular.

This bull will last untill early 2022 and the we would enter the long bear market so you need to prepare your McD application again ( 😁 ) . The bitcoin bull run will last untill the end of this year but im not surprised if we face another dip one more time before we continue bull run. After btc bull run finished then its time to altcoin to growth before long bear market.
How do you know it will last until 2022, I think no one knows when the bull run will stop, we might probably at the start of the bear market already as bitcoin is now having a hard time breaking the resistance, unlike before where we almost see green candles regularly.

This is not a very recent feature, it exists on gambling sites since very long time AFAIK. You have to manage that like a crash game or a trade : you must choose a target price/odds before playing and only changing it if you think parameters are really not the same anymore.
Crash or trade needs fast reaction on what is happening, in sports betting, you can still have more time to think . This is mostly applicable for huge betting odds due to parlay bets, if you have 10 legged parlay and you hit the 9 already and the last game has not started yet, you can still think whether you'll cash it out already or wait until the game is completed to see if you win. For example of this 10 legged parlay you hit 9 and you can cashout $1,000 while if you win you will get $3000. What would you choose, the decision making will then come and it's a hard decision for sure as if you cash out, you'll be happy if your parlay end up a losing bet but if you won, you might regret.

Any type of sports can be easily corrupted, some players are easily tempted to this bad activity taking it as their side income. The only reason why they get involve into this is greed, because they are not contented with their payout. Players doing this are putting their career on danger and once they’re caught they might lose their profession.
That's easy to expect since by nature humans are greedy. With the ease to gamble in sports, all these things are possible as it's easy money when you know what game are going to be rig since it gives almost 100% guarantee that you'll win, but of course those with influence are the ones usually doing this and players which are risking to commit a crime for the sake of making easy money.

Some people even dare to sell their house to buy cryptocurrency, this sounds crazy.
It's crazy but it work for CZ or Changpeng Zhao, CEO of Binance. https://cointelegraph.com/news/keep-calm-and-work-hard-the-story-of-binances-ceo-from-a-to-czIn 2014, CZ sold his house to go all-in on Bitcoin. Within three months, BTC dropped from $600 to $200, losing him two-thirds of the value of his house for roughly two years before the price went up again. When asked whether he would advise someone to take such a risk, CZ responded more as a wiseman than a poker player: “For different people, that risk appetite and risk situation is different. I would not recommend people who are struggling to pay off mortgages on their house and who need a guaranteed income from their investments to pay off some loan, to sell their house and go all-in on crypto, because crypto is highly volatile.” Maybe he was inspired by CZ, and look at where CZ's standing in the crypto space now, he is one of the richest already.

I usually try to save up as much as possible, so that's the main use of my signature campaign earnings. When they grow in value enough I spend some, usually during the bull runs. My nature of a hodler makes me think twice before I gamble anything away or use for charity, which doesn't mean that I don't gamble or spend on charity, just that fiat is much better for it.
True, fiat is better for anything that we have to spend or risk because bitcoin is precious. If we keep saving, slowly the amount will be accumulated into a serious amount and we can feel that during the bull run. For me, I would be happy when the market dump so the price of bitcoin will dump and my earning will increase, that way I can save more in preparation for the next bull run, I'm sure some of us here think that way.

Honestly bro I consider gambling not like trading.
There are only two option I bet, a lose or a win. For me, cashing out when given an opportunity is like chasing your bet when you are losing. . This is not good and I don't have good experience when situation comes that my emotion will play against me.

I think I already saw this scenario where bitcoin struggle to get back to the price it has previously him. Just Bitcoin get back to $50k but it didn't stay long, so I guess the trend now is already bearish, or this is just a temporary and short term correction?
But you haven't saw the scenario last year ? when Bitcoin struggles a lot climbing to 20,000? when for how many times that the price fluctuate when it's almost reaching the top? But what happens after breaking that barricade? is this the same scenario now that Bitcoin harder to break the 60,000? https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/Also, as we can see, altcoins are pretty much affected, most of the coins in the top 100 of the CMC has been significantly affected, most of them are reddish at the moment. We can see the coins ( https://coinmarketcap.com/_But yesterday Bitcoin climb up to 52,000 again have not you see the effect in altcoins ? when those top 100 also Gets Green banner almost all of them? Bitcoin failed to rise further again and it dropped again below $50k, how many times it will continue to drop before the bear market will start, or how many times it will try to break the wall to reach a new ATH? We just have to guess and anything could happen as the market is still quite bullish.

Worth a read, I'll sure read more of this kind as BNB is quite interesting now. Maybe the price has increased significantly but I like to know more about its future potential, the only thing I like to know more is if it is overpriced or still undervalued. Thanks for sharing this, I'll read the attached links as well and hopefully I'll find a convincing information that will help me decide now or later. It's seems BNB coin can't break above $350 easily, when it just passed above $300, it will get dump and stay around $300 again. Damn you weak hands
It makes me scared reading the words "weak hands" as it get me REKT in the past. ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif)
