I bet most of the high rollers you see in the casino scoreboards are fakes. (maybe all of them)
Yes, there are a few in the way of reputable casinos, specially now when there are so many around, popping out from nowhere, some with no licence - but I suppose this doesn't matter since they only try to scam people.

Having said this, there are a few places you can still enjoy a game or two where you don't need to worry about the legitimacy of the casino. But I do agree that with more choice in the market comes more risk for newbies to get scammed. Unfortunately, this applies everywhere ( mostly online) not just the gambling community, so the same diligence must be applied at all times.
Always be cautious on sites that your dealing with which isnt only limited to gambling sites but on other platforms as well which i highly agree with this line but there are people whom are just
too careless or do really trust up easily when they've been shown some nasty winnings or multipliers with those top wagerers in the site whom they thought that it was always a legit
thing.Im not generalizing but as mentioned they are really playing with this kind of set-up to hook up possible players on their site.
3222  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: People die from heart attack when they hit the jackpot. on: April 05, 2021, 09:10:20 PM
When I gamble big I tend to look at later, after many days just to stay calm and relaxed about it. I think people are losing their minds after playing game like lottery which isn't something nervous at all. Anyways I shouldn't speak so sure, it is definitely possible to have heart issue after winning millions of dollars.
it is associated with a feeling of excitement that can lead to heart attacks...
a sense of happiness is usually formed from unexpected things such as being accepted by work or winning a race, but when you win millions of dollars when you are in poor this feeling of happiness will be so excessive that it makes those with a history of internal disease unable to endure it. *always check your health, that's the best advice

Sadly they won't enjoy those millions once they'll suffer from this excessive excitement turning them to have a heart attack, it's very important to take care of your health.

While you still got the time, better to practice healthy diet and have good excercise in a daily routine, who knows one day luck permits you and let you win the Jackpot, better to prepare yourself not to fall into this kind of situation, you'll be able to enjoy your millions if you have a good heart and physically fit health condition.
Even though you arent expecting for something big win but having a healthy body would always be ideal not only for the sake of those situations but rather focus to live longer
than everyone else.Nothing beats out the true value of having a healthy body compared to those who doesnt have.In case these situation do really happen in your lifetime
then at least your body would able to comprehend it and able to cherish out those winnings while you do live even though chances are slim
but once you hit it out then that would be a life changing situation and experience.
3223  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I went big into Bitcoin and Ethereum... on: April 05, 2021, 08:56:53 PM
Hello Gang,
New guy here.
About 2 weeks ago I purchased $50,000 of Bitcoin and Ethereum thru Coinbase.
It's all sitting in the Coinbase wallet with a 2 step verification to get access.

I just ordered a Trezor 1 cold wallet. Might take a few days to get here.
How safe is the Coinbase wallet for holding my stuff?
I've read that their site is actually very secure.

Thanks for any info!

If you do go for long term then Trezor would be the best option you could take.

Remember;
"Not your keys Not your coins"

Never ever consider on storing up your coins on a centralized platform or simply those custodial wallets because no matter how
reputable or known they are, you wouldnt know on when they would be hacked or experienced problems which would
cause some locked up funds.
3224  Economy / Gambling / Re: Balance Removed from CoinRoyale on: April 05, 2021, 08:07:44 PM
Actually being dormant account for too long would usually be having this kind of problem since most website or platforms would definitely be wiping it out
or freeing up some space but the thing here is that they dont make out such response when you are still actively sending out some email to them
in regards with the issue.Im dont experience on playing with Coinroyale though but talking about chances on getting those funds back or
account to be accessible again is very less likely to happen.
3225  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will crypto sportsbook replace fiat sportsbook in the future? on: April 05, 2021, 07:50:01 PM
No chance. It's same like crypto will never replace fiat money. They will perfectly exist together at the same time
You mentioned KYC, anonymous gambling, but it's not always case with crypto bookmakers. They also have to follow all kinds of strict regulations (if we talk about licensed sportsbooks) and they require KYC if they found something suspicious in user activity. So, statement about anonymous gambling is only partial right.
Also, many people are happy to use fiat sportsbooks and they don't see any reasons to switch to crypto betting.
Why people do really think off about this posibility? Traditional business cant really be replaced even though cryptocurrency based up sportsbook would soar up when it comes to popularit
but it wont never ever able to replace fiat sportsbook in the future because not all would really be not a fan on using it up or doesnt even know that crypto books does exist.
Also some people do much prefer on using up on what they've been using currently, there might be some who would tend to switch up but overall
these are different markets to be catered of.
3226  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Recovering losses on: April 04, 2021, 11:26:20 PM
Unlike any other trading environment, you can make big profits in this crypto space just by holding for longer duration. Just plan up trades for years (but within only bitcoin) then definitely you will get at least 10x profits for your investments.
About at least a tenfold profit in bitcoin over the next few years sounds quite bold, because at the current exchange rate, we are already talking about $ 600,000 and I personally am not so sure about this forecast Wink Another question is that you can try to wait for a correction and make a purchase at a lower price. I would be more confident about such a price forecast in altcoins, but there are pitfalls and instability of much larger orders.

Yup in this time and date, btc can just accumulate about maximum of 50% if you will invest right now, unlike in altcoins, tho it is riskier, but the profit is higher than normal. But aren't we, traders, common to risk plays and isn't it our playground
Taking a risk will be okay if you know how to manage the risk because many of us still do not know how to manage the risk.
They use big money to invest in a coin but they do not research more about the coin.
But if they only use bitcoin to trade or invest, they can have a chance to make a profit and if they can hold it for a long time, their profit can be big.
The best thing that we can do is buy low and sell high or buy low and hold if we want to profit.
That principle still alive though it's very difficult to predict which directions the market will go,

even you have the knowledge you still need to understand how the market are moving, a lots of

time investors are just blindly follows the trend, very uncareful that leads them to lose their invested

money, you always need to keep enhancing your knowledge if you want to survive from this business.
Being old on this market doesnt automatically signify that you are already pro into this field because this will really be a never ending learning for us
because nothing can really be predicted on what would happen ahead even if you are old and experienced enough.
Losses is inevitable but the thing you should focus is on how to make yourself sustaining in spite of the situation.
Recovery plans is there but you shouldnt hurry up because that would create even more deeper problems when it comes to losses.
3227  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will crypto sportsbook replace fiat sportsbook in the future? on: April 04, 2021, 10:28:58 PM
What do you think about its chances.
No, it wont happen and come to think that fiat sportsbook had existed much more longer or the default way of gambling using up fiat when crypto sportsbook hadnt existed yet.
Crypto might give up something new to the market when it comes to decentralization but come to think that not all does have awareness about bitcoins or crypto existence.
If you do try to check out the number of people who had been using up these platforms then you can tell that there's still relevance on their existence.
It might be having some decreased in numbers but doesnt mean that it would just popped out and be gone just like that easily.
3228  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: April 04, 2021, 09:17:55 PM
These might be their wildest year because of their new roster but if they will stay healthy in the next years and will stay intact, A back-to-back championship for them might happen.

Looking at their superstar's contract, their core lineup currently will be different next season. If I'm not mistaken, it's either Kyrie or Durant that has a Player Option after this year's season.

Basically, the future of Nets next season will depend on the outcome of their rally this year that's why they do everything to the fullest as they already know what will happen to their roster if they fail to win a championship this year. They are the most FAVORITES to win the championship but living behind a big expectation is a big pressure.
Very a big pressure specially if they do know that lots had been expecting for them to win the ring for this season.When it comes to roster change then it is likely to happen
if they wouldnt able to snatch out the championship for this year and if we do consider out the current roster which is really a hard one to beat or shall we say that it is
almost perfect but we know that injuries and other possible factors could really affect the entire situation.
3229  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: BOOM - First Self-Burning Cryptocurrency Based on Smart Contract on: April 04, 2021, 08:18:08 PM
What drives the price of coin is the community behind the project. The founders/developers should pay attention in developing the community for BOOM. Every successful project has one thing in common aka strong and huge community.
This project is already almost dead but still breathing just like those altcoins in the market which is the price is almost on the floor.
When it comes to success then it will always vary on the project relevance or actual utility even though developers arent really that active
but as long theres a huge community whom do support it behind then you can really tell that this one is a good one.
3230  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Internet connectivity - Gambling wins/losses on: April 04, 2021, 07:58:23 PM
I don't really blame the internet when I lose in a gamble since the result is based on my decision and what I will do when it's my turn (poker). Even if I can reconnect in the game the result would be the same. I may have some bad experience with the connectivity but at least I tried my best to win but sadly I lose so there's nothing I can do after that but to play next round.
Somehow we can blame the internet connectivity when its connection are poor on our loss, sometimes when i venture into gambling platforms i always wants my internet connectivity intact becasue of my win, most especially when am on sport games. Though, not that the internet connectivity will add something to your win/loss but instincts usually do to us gamblers all the time  Grin.
Why would play if you do see that your internet connection isnt stable in the first place? Its not really sensible to do such action even though we can say that it cant really affect the odds
but rather on the user experience which would really be not pleasant at all.When it comes to chances then it doesnt really influence at all.
out of their own boredom I think?
Besides no normal person would ever risk their plays if their's connectivity issues, I suppose those who're likely to play like this are crazy as shit and make this an excuse to blame the Casino, from what I remember there's a case like that here I just don't know who it was but if you search it here maybe you can find it.

Blaming time is common to be taken of mostly by the house itself which it turns out on the time they had lost a bet then they do make out issues that the house isnt fair
and when they do have some connection issues and they had lost then they would really be making some complaint about that bet.Is this something new? No, it isnt.
Gambling is for entertainment and when you are in boredom then this is the best thing to be done but some people or most of them do really go overboard.
3231  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What age bracket is perfect for gambling on: April 04, 2021, 07:08:36 PM
~snip~ So I think it's fine to experience it by kids, however for me the perfect age when you take gambling seriously is when the time you're disciplined enough to manage your money.
No, kids should stay away from gambling, and a person should only take the experience of gambling while he/she is mature enough in mentally. Cause youngsters may take wrong steps by being curious and loss valuable money. A person should start gambling at the age while he realize the importance and the real value of money. Your case was different and there wasn't any big risk involved.

Until that kids grow up, they should not know how to gamble and give them time to enjoy their ages by playing many games and having fun without using gamble. The youngsters now become smart and capable of using a smartphone easily, and they can browse many websites, including gambling websites. Maybe the parents need to stay away from their children from mobile phones and ask them to play in real activity outdoors to distract their minds and become addicted to the mobile phones.
Actually it's very difficult because how can children play outdoor activities if there's no one can interact to? I mean, most of the children are now using smartphones to be entertained because most of the child stuffs like tv shows and such are now on YouTube. Parents will probably choose the easiest way to entertain their children is through smartphones and we can't blame if it ends up badly. Children need interaction with other children, as you can see in the show cocomelon, there are interaction and kids want those kinds of stuff. So they can't really prohibit these things nowadays because it's already part of the new-gen and the only thing the parents should do is proper guidance and words of wisdom to enlighten the children on how things work to avoid getting involved in such gambling platforms.
Due to this hi-tech era then probabilities of these young minds to get involved with gambling is high likely to happen because of exposure and on the ease when it comes to accessibility.
Parenting does really have a great role on raising up your children on a right way even though it might not be perfect or can be check out from time to time but making them
aware on what are the implications of dealing with gambling on young mind could really affect and once they would be aware then they are at least
having the idea once they do encounter it which means even if youre arent watching then they do know about it.
3232  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why do ordinary people feel afraid of Bitcoin? on: April 04, 2021, 06:48:57 PM

Basically, this is the ignorance of the subject matter why most people are afraid of something. If they will start educating themselves, they will learn more and so they will understand the true nature of it. And I guess, they will be the one endorsing it to their family and friends once they get acquainted with bitcoin or crypto. If they will try at least one bitcoin transaction, I bet, they will change their mindset. Sometimes, it is only in their heads why they reacting for something they don't know of.
Well I guess there is no other reason why there are people who are being afraid with bitcoin and it is the lack of knowledge when it comes to this cryptocurrency. So when your relatives or someone you known are being afraid with bitcoin since you already know and already dealing with bitcoin be it trading or investment it is not exactly your responsibility to explain or enlightened them about bitcoin but if ever they ask you about it i bet you should do it.
Due to lack of knowledge then you would really be having those kind of feeling when dealing up with something and you dont have any idea on what youre doing then most likely
you would really be that afraid but i dont see for you to get afraid because we do all can deal with things that we want.Its normal to get uneasy but we can learn
up things if we wanted to.I dont really agree about calling ordinary people because we do all start from scratch and if you do find out someone who do have some hard time
on understanding then it isnt a bad one if you do explain them out about the basics.
3233  Economy / Gambling / Re: Rollbit.com | Crypto's Most Rewarding Casino 👑 on: April 04, 2021, 05:52:05 PM
It's a leaderboard. Expect that it is subject to change every time set by the Rollbit. Probably every minute?
maybe every time wagering up.

User aeroh still on top All Time Leaderboard, about $20M wagered, he just Joined on Mar 20, 2021. Seems a full-time gambler, only 16 days he created about $1.2M wagered each day, maybe $7K each bet, great. Sweetbonanza his favorite game.



I'm too late claiming his promote rain on twitter - https://twitter.com/rollbitcom


That amount is something unbelievable like in short period of time wagering 20M$ worth is just unimaginable. Seriously should be rich to have that much money to wager like 7k per bet and here for us even 7k total worth of bet wagering happens is big thing he did for like single bet. People are crazy as well as must be rich to take that type of chance in gambling.

Those numbers are indeed unbelieveable because this isnt something an average joe could able to do so.I have checked out their leaderboard and that guy only registered in March 20 which it is only a few
weeks for this man to play into the site and imagine on wagering about $20M in a short span of time.There are indeed lots of whales that could simply jump into a gambling site and wager like crazy.
What good is on here that top player having that $5k daily prize? and $2k for top 5? Is this something true or possible? How long these players do receive out those prizes?
Its way too generous imho.
3234  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Beware of the Frauds , how pandemic is affecting gambling negatively on: April 04, 2021, 05:29:19 PM
~snip~

I think it's a matter of little experience and unwillingness to analyze the gambling market for the reliability of the playground. On bitcointalk there is a lot of analysis and comparison of gaming sites as well as there is a possibility to get real reviews of players, information about KYC requirement, amount of withdrawal commissions and many other things. In order not to fall into a trap of scammers need only to spend a little time studying this information.

If people do not read the analysis and comparison of gambling site from here, they will not get the recommended list of the gambling site instead, they can get into the trap of the scamming gambling site. We do not know how good the crypto gambling site is from social media or another website as they can pay the other people or hire some bunch of groups to give a good review to their site. This pandemic gives a chance for the scammer to trick many people, especially new people who want to know more about crypto gambling site. KYC is one of many things that people should avoid if they want to play on the crypto gambling site because that is unnecessary.
There are many fake gambling sites out there and we should be wise on how we will deal each platforms because it's really hard to determine what's legit and what's fake nowadays. There are many victims of fraud and especially right now where pandemic and a lot of people are shifting into online gambling platforms. There are many platforms where we can verify gambling platforms such as this forum and Reddit. All of the things in the internet should be studied to make things sure because gambling is also an investment where you study the asset to foresee its potential.
Making up some research isnt really that hard at all.It is just on the time that had been put up by someone when making out some verification and not all would really be that eager
nor mindful on doing this very basic step which would really be able to saved up their asses into those frauds.You can eventually spot it out if one is trustable or not basing off on
community feedbacks which even on just using up your own common sense you would able to spot out which one is been used and which one is having some issues or complaints.
Frauds are circling around and this doesnt only limit out with gambling industry or market or on other markets as well.

i watched a couple of courses and read a couple of books, and I liked trading as a career  and I want to solid my information and skills
I saw this article about which books you need for your CMT test, which I'm thinking of taking them as a study plan for my trading career
here are the books and the article

, is it a good plan?

There are some and it isnt bad to take them or read them as long you look it to be beneficial then you do also have the time then its not bad to have some peak
but actually resources online can really be seen in a few clicks or searches thats why i wont really bothering myself on finding for some books or courses.
Self experience would be one of the best thing but dont rush up on yourself on learning everything in a short time because trading knowledge
cant be attained that short.
3236  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Being unpredictable on: April 02, 2021, 11:14:02 PM
Is there a way that you can ensure being difficult to predict at Poker? For example, if you never bluff, people will eventually get to known that and it will reduce your ability to profit from good  cards? Anyone there knows techniques or trick to avoid being easy to read?
Does it mean offline poker betting?
Well, if it is about it, I think it is about emotional control. Some professional gamblers will have good emotional controls where the facial expression, body language, and also how they look are not predictable. Some people just play flat without noticed being happy or sad. So, it means that if you are ready to bet, it is better also to be ready in emotional control. Without it, we cannot control our emotions and we may have certain expressions that lead others to think or interpret something.


One of the things i do like when you do play physically where you can really have that actual interactions between other players which you can really read up those kind of emotions that they might
displayed on but not all the times that would be precise because there are people who are just good when it comes to pretending and that what makes this situation harder.
For poker then experience will a the only thing will put you in advantage but being unpredictable thinking on online poker isnt really that something can be applied.
3237  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it safe to invest in BNB now? on: April 02, 2021, 10:15:09 PM
I feel its still rather safe to invest in BNB because price is still cheap considering how greatly Binance Smart Chain works and all those defi projects creating liquidity. What makes BNB great competitor to Ethereum is its very cheap fees also. I am LONG for BNB and I do plan to regularly buy BNB even bull markets turn upside down to bear.
As long we do invest on the amount that we can afford to lose then this wont really be a problem.We do have our own perspective on any projects in the market and just
basing up on what Binance and its smart chain been doing currently then we can presume that this would really be having some good future but everything will still always
vary on the demand and on the performance on future months or years to come.It might not be giving out guarantee but based up on what they had attained
as of this moment is a solid indication that they do really have the potential.
3238  Economy / Gambling / Re: ♨️🎲 WINDICE.io 🎲 Contests 🏆 TvT 🔰 Progressive Faucet💰 Jackpots 🎁❤ on: April 02, 2021, 09:21:55 PM
Windice is one among the casino game provider functioning for Dice. During the launch it had its own signature campaign. Apart from that, there were regular contests. Later it came forward opening access for sports betting. From that point there is no big promotion for the site, and the announcement thread too isn't active. After a long days back the announcement thread has come active.
Did windice ever offer sports betting on their site? AFAIK they never did that. They came from a dice site and then they keep add new games, slot and other games but not sport betting. They are also still running their wager contest until now anyway
Yeah, there was never a sports book in windice ever before. I think the fact is that it is called windice, they never really intended on it neither when they are starting, maybe now they changed their minds or not, I do not know. Windice was a lot bigger on their first six months or so, they offered wager competitions and at a good rate as well, it was 0.3 reward or so, of course that would be huge right now and they can't offer that, but it was a big deal at the time and they made a lot of money from it as well, maybe they lost some I do not know but the wagering amount was a lot higher.

Even the fact is that their 10 million bets announcements getting rare and rare is a proof that they got less interest from people now. So having a sportsbook could actually revive all of that and make them be loved by the gamblers once again if they do that.

dont know where he is coming from when he mentioned about sportsbetting. because there's no sportsbetting in this site since its inception up until now. that's right, they started with dice game only, and later on, add additional games.
but if you look at their online players atm, they still have more than 200 players. not bad, right? though we cant say if all are playing or not. but i guess, windice team should spice up a lil bit. aside from their current bonuses available on the platform, they can also publish their current contest here -the easter egg hunt weekly challenge
One of the indications that there are really some users who doesnt have any experience or doesnt really even tried to check out the site or just post up randomly which make him look a bit dumb  Cheesy

Windice never had a sportsbook and focused up on the game that they had offered which is dice.Thing we noticed that they do become inactive into this forum on making out some post and promotions.
having 200 players is something that other competitors couldn't able to achieve unless if those were real numbers.

Coinbase also does not offer any sort of discounts for on chain transactions as well.

Yes, but I think OP is referring to Coinbase <-> Coinbase off-chain transactions which are free.

But either way, while it sounds so attractive @OP (who doesn't like free transactions?), it's downsides heavily outweighs the upsides. Do you know? Coinbase can lock up your money if they want to? On the other hand, with non-custodial wallets such as Mycelium(though I'm personally more of a BlueWallet[1] guy), no one, I mean literally no one can revoke your access to your funds. That's one of the beauties of Bitcoin!


[1] https://bluewallet.io/
Simply making out some comparison between custodial and non-custodial wallets which you can eventually tell the difference without much of explanation.
If a certain user could really handle out the risk on using up Coinbase then its up to his choice.The good thing about internal transfers that it is really free of charge
which is already a standard with most platform when making internal transactions but for on outside then its understandable that you would need to pay
up some miners fee. Coinbase doesnt charge out any additional aside from that.
