3221  Economy / Gambling / Re: TwiceDice Casino | 110% Bonus | Accepts: BTC, ETH, USDT, DOGE, XRP, BCH, LTC on: August 15, 2021, 06:52:20 PM
Your casino is called, "TwiceDice" but I could only find one dice game... and it was hard to find.  Huh  I was a bit disappointed.. because looking at the name, I thought this site specializes in Dice games...  Roll Eyes

Well, let's forget about that...because the site looks decent and the experience is fun. The rollover requirements of 35x within 15 days on the deposit bonus is a bit tough, but we know casinos just use that to hook people.. the casino always get their bonus back... so it is nothing new.  Sad
I can't talk about the other parts but I can clearly say that we usually get 40x rollover or even worse most of the time. So long story short we are facing with a place that basically does what the other ones are doing. It is simply a dice site and the "twice" is just a branding thing, not like you can't twicedice here, just roll the dice, then roll it again lol.

The fact about the casinos getting their bonus back somehow is correct though, I do not remember any place that I gambled that I actually won after the roll over, I do not know how many times I tried, but every single time I tried it, I ended up losing it so I can sort of understand it, it is always like that in every place. I personally do like it here, it is calm for now, when it gets bigger I am sure it will be a bit of a bother as well, but I do like the calmness right now when it is not super crowded like other huge names.

40x rollover isn't a bad or unknown requirement at all, is it? Depending on the amount of the bonus, of course, because that also plays a major role. You may also find lower requirements to clear a bonus, but that will be with lower amounts or you must be a good customer.
Common roll over requirements is between 35x-50x at least which is really something surprising and it wouldnt really matter at all  because you would be needing extreme luck before you could really make some withdrawals out from it but it doesnt mean that its impossible because there are some whom do  able to experience it.
Generally you would really be needing extreme luck for you to do so but why would  really be minding off about this matter if you  do just only  came here  for the sake of  entertainment?
Talking  some  income or minding  about getting profits out  of bonuses arent something that  you should be  serious.

The profession as a crypto trader is a profession that must already be equipped with basic knowledge, without it may be someone
like gambling and this is the thing to avoid in trading. Therefore, with the EMA, RSI, MACD, then these are the basics of trading
that must be mastered, at least, you sail with the goal. And maybe that alone is not enough, because sometimes the crypto market
can not be controlled and analyzed technically. Perhaps experience can help you to minimize losses so that past mistakes do not recur.

Not sometimes but most of the time, crypto market have a high volatility and it's really hard to predict what the next market movement.

Not even you have all those information, even you collect data and you are thinking that it's enough to
move forward with your trading, the market still hard to predict and can go to the other side.

Keep in mind that basic is good but enhancing is much better if you want to succeed from this industry.
Nothing is assured when it comes to profits but we know that knowledge and experience does really count and this isnt something a game that you could only play and not putting up some seriousness.
You should really be dedicated on what you are doing because market is way too unpredictable and theres no assurance that no matter how good your analysis is.It would really be assuring profits for you.
Trading is indeed not a game and you should be passionate and have long patience because if not or you do let your emotion control you then that would really be a big problem.
3223  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: It takes years to build a reputation and seconds to break it on: August 14, 2021, 08:55:55 PM
The really big bookmakers have a lot of customers. I don't think they are easily steered by the fact that they have a problem with a customer. After all, every bookmaker or casino has a problem with a customer, often related to payout of course. But it's true, a reputation can be destroyed in moments.
You underestimate the power of negative reviews. Every good businessman should care about EACH customer to maintain a good reputation and be ahead of constantly emerging competitors. Imagine, a certain online casino has 100 positive reviews and no negatives, that gives them, say 5/5 stars. At this point there's nothing that can stop potential customers from using this casino. Then, one day, a very bad review appears, which tells a horrible story where someone won $5k at the casino and couldn't withdraw the win. People will pay attention even to that one single neg, despite all the positives. As a result, due to mistreating just one customer a casino can lose many potential ones. At the same time, the other casino which has no negative (or less, because none is, probably, impossible) will win over the customers.
But there are negative reviews which are false or totally a lie which would be possibly made by competitors and we should really be watchful with that but somewhat people or the community isnt really blind on believing on this which doesnt have sufficient proof which it wouldnt really be that effective if they are trying to ruin out someones business or their competitor in the market.Reputation is something that can be build overnight.
This is something that you should protect as an owner since building it does cost all efforts or hardwork to gain that trust this is why you should really be mindful about on things happening around.
Dont let those false claims and accusations would be affecting you.
3224  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Becareful with Meme Coins on: August 14, 2021, 07:52:49 PM
Yes, investing in meme coins and shitcoins is very risky, it carries almost 90% risk because they have no use cases so many wise people don't invest in it. So there will be very low buyers and the price will be low and the this 90% can also give you 10x-100x project because many influencers use to shill meme coins, so they can choose your bought coin and you will get approximately 10-100x.
Even on top coins wont really be that risk-free but it is much better than involving with shitcoins but there are people whom do really love to deal with these coins due to high reward ratio but of course
the risk would really be in equally high too.Its up to someone if they would be dealing with it or not since there are people who are aware with the risk and there are people who do just dive in without
any proper knowledge and awareness on how this market works.If you wont really be careful then most likely you would really ending up on a disaster.
Invest on the amount that you can afford to lose.
3225  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Manny Pacquiao vs Errol Spence Jr - August 21 on: August 14, 2021, 06:50:03 PM
I'll go for the KO per round as it's more interesting for me.

Can you share some crypto-betting sites that offer other betting options for this match?

I want to see other betting options since checking a couple of my preferred sites, the only option is the winner of the match.
There will be no betting for this one because the match was already cancelled and Manny will face other boxer on August 22, try to look at your sportsbook if Manny vs Ugas is available and analyze first before you gamble. On this new match, I expect now Manny to KO his opponent on any round, this is still an exciting match.
He's not aware with the news and its true that Pacquiao vs Spence had been cancelled out due to eye injury of Spence and now diverted to Ugas  which i could say that Spence is much more better opponent
but imho that Ugas isnt someone that you should be confident on even though he had more losses than or compared with Spence but basing up with experience then they are just the same.
Its just sad that the fight didnt really happen in between spence and pacquiao but this one didnt really make Pacquiao to stop but rather seeing some potential opponent which do end up with
Ugas.
3226  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can BTC become the world central currency? on: August 13, 2021, 11:32:20 PM
If you mean BTC to be a single world currency, I think the chance is almost impossible. The government doesn't like a decentralized system on BTC, they cannot control the price at all. I am sure the government prefers to stay with fiats than move to BTC. Fiats is easier to use at any place because it doesn't need the network. While BTC requires the network to use it. Not all people want to use digital currency for payment purposes.

Its not almost impossible but rather its totally impossible.There would be no single currency neither it would be fiat or crypto because governments around the world wouldnt really tend to deal with single currency
and we know that there are lots of types of government which wont really be fitting out on a single currency and this is where we do see lots of fiat on specific countries that we do have globally.
Bitcoin does have the potential but it would really be just remaining on the market that is currently serving which is on that total decentralization.
3227  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Taxes on gambling send the right message? on: August 13, 2021, 10:41:32 PM

They are in control of governing a country, so they can use their power to serve the interest of the people, now, if people will be asked, will they agree to charge casino operators with high taxes, if they would say so, then it's their interest. The taxes that will be collected will generally use for the improvement of a country, so if casinos will still continue to operate, they are the biggest contributor for the development of the country.
No brainer that gambling businesses are the one of the highest tax payors in the industry excluding those other businesses since when we do compare it on the revenue that they could make and certain percentage
in terms of taxation then it would really be a significant one but somehow if those taxes wont really be used on the right way then it would be just not worth it for the taxes given.Tax does play a big role
in talks of economic development but it would always be depending on how the government would able to handle or use it well and we know that not all would really be having that
mindset or simply means that there are corrupt officials.
3228  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: what are you investment strategy on: August 13, 2021, 09:45:45 PM
My main strategy is to just buy and hold until I make profit. Another one is to buy again when the market goes down. Before buying any asset i just research the ups and downs of that particular asset and then buy.
The investment strategy one chooses should be based on their future plans. HODLing is a strategy for long term investors and it will only suit people who don't have the time to manage it often.

Equally, if one has the time and aptitude as well as patience scalping or day trading is another strategy. At the end, it comes down to time management and risk appetite.

Everyone is different in terms of capability on dealing up with things which means its neither they would opt to held for long or would opt to scalp or do make active trades just because they dont have that enough
patience on waiting up for long.Investment strategy would really differ into each other because people are different when it comes to their views and takings about a particular thing specially on handling out
businesses or investment that they had made.Thing here is that we do know on how to handle up risk and we know on how to sustain ourselves in the market as long as we can.
Dont rush up on making decisions because most likely this is the reason on why people do commit mistakes.
3229  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Taxes on gambling send the right message? on: August 13, 2021, 08:50:55 PM
If you keep the tax on gambling low, more people will properly declare it and pay the tax. There are countries where you have to pay really ridiculously high taxes. And there is virtually no supervision of such practices. So completely pointless. maybe some countries not even charge any money at all as tax.

This depends actually on how the government enforce its taxing power.

Regardless if the tax is high or not, the government can properly monitor on which establishments pay their taxes regularly. The reason on why the government increases the tax is in order to increase their government expenditure. Since taxes are what provide the government the fund to create projects, having a high tax can simply fund their expenditures that will benefit the general public.

Like what I previously mentioned, the power to tax has this implied power of destroying the establishment. It convinces some business owners to close down their businesses due to the high amount of taxes they pay.

But isn't it the right way to do to force the business to close? Why not just ban the business directly so it would send a direct message that the government does not allow gambling operators to do their business anymore, I guess it's a coward way of sending message to gambling operators.
Government doesnt really love to close those operators but rather being too tight when it comes to taxation which might really result to such closure and i do rather see this to be that abusive in power
on where they do impose such law which isnt justifiable if you do tend to look at on the percentages then its not already ethical to be put up on a business on putting huge tax even though they are
profitable but doesnt mean that they would be giving almost half of their revenue? They arent thinking that owners do risk out money to make this business and they are really trying to slice up
a huge part of it and just talking or minding about that its a tax which would be used or benefit the country? It isnt a solid reason.
3230  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Elon Musk Makes Meme Coins, What Do You Think? on: August 13, 2021, 07:55:08 PM
Elon Musk started to be talked about in the last few months, after making speculations about dogecoin at the time on Twitter, someone suggested Elon Musk create his own coin, to develop something new and a huge opportunity for him, this is understandable when all that happened, considering what happened done is speculation about its influence in the crypto world.

What is the best step, to make this wish come true?
What are Elon Musk's chances in your opinion?
Dont know on what are the things that come up into his mind whether he would be making up his own meme coin or would definitely just find another coin to hype upon but for sure he's totally aware that he had some bad image already here on this market. If he do ever make his own meme coins then for sure there are still people who would love to dive on it and take risk since for sure it would really be making some significant hype
which might result into high price and if you do able to get in on early manner then for sure you would really be able to get off some profits effortlessly but somewhat a very risky decision to be made of.
So its up to someone if they would really love to play with fire.
3231  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting on the Paralympic Games? Ethical or not? on: August 12, 2021, 11:51:57 PM
We will soon see the start of the Paralympic Games.... ( 24 Aug 2021 to 5 Sept 2021 ) ...so I was thinking if it was ethical to bet on these events? Will it be disrespectful towards people with disabilities or will they want to be handled in the same manner that any other athlete wants to be handled? 

I spoke to a few disabled people at work and they have no problem if their athletes get the same attention as any other athlete that competes in the Olympic Games.  Wink  They say it will be disrespectful if they are treated in any other way...

So what do you guys and gals think..... ?
How could it be disrespectful if you do make out bets of those disabled person?We rather see or appreciate on what they've been doing just like a normal athlete could do.
They wouldnt really care if you do make out bets out of their plays or not because the thing that they do have in mind is to win up the competition against other nation.
As a gambler then its up to you if you would really able to have good feeling on betting with those disabled person or not but generally i dont really see any problems
with this and as said that this is just personal preference.

People do not know but actualy they are working with crypto specially with EFT's and since 2017 we all know central banks interest with blockchain even some central banks was working with ripple but idk what happened. So My opinion is since 2025 Those interests will be more solid.
Blockchain doesnt totally mean that it would really be considered to be totally opposing banks or centralization because it would rather be helpful and beneficial when it comes to transactions although it would be all
transparent and could be seen on the blockchain which basically means that there would be no transactions that could be hidden neither doing some inbound or outbound transactions and this is where some
institutions doesnt really prefer on adopting it specially with banks.Hate to say but centralized things would totally not like decentralized ones .
Lets see on how long they would really be waiting up for it to be considered.
3233  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: {Boxing} Manny Pacquiao vs Yordenis Ugas on: August 12, 2021, 09:18:47 PM
A 2 weeks preparation for Ugas is not enough to fight Manny, I don’t know why he accepted the offer but it looks like Manny is in serious business here and will do everything just to continue his fight by next week no matter who’s the opponent is. Manny already have a good trainings towards this fight, he is prepared for a great fight with Spence but suddenly the dramas starts to kick in. Ugas has no chance to beat Manny here, I’m expecting a knock out here.

I think it's already part of the plan, they are on the same division, and Manny will have to fight a champion so no one is on his way but Ugas. For everyone to know, Ugas is consistently training as he also has a fight on the same date, his fight is an undercard of the suppose to be main event, but now he is fight in the main event which is a great chance for him to prove to the world that he is a real champion and that is by beating Manny Pacquiao.
Would really be an opportunity on fighting Pacquiao even though this fight is somewhat unexpected and i dont really believe that Ugas would just accept it if he knows that he doesnt really have the ample or right time to
train up himself.This does really proves out that he had trained enough on accepting the fight and for sure there are lots of people had already concluded that he wont having be a chance against Pacquiao.
Just out of curisoty about Ugas stats then this one has some decent record which is 26-4-0 but basing up only with the experience then we could really tell on who does have the edge.
3234  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who to Trust, Fiat Banks or BTC? on: August 12, 2021, 07:54:42 PM
I trust big banks to keep my data secure as I know the regulations around this are pretty harsh especially for banks.

Are you kidding me?, The place where i live banks usually share my data with some advertisers and this pisses me off.
I've only 1 email and that's registered specially to online banking of the bank that i use but for some reason, i get emails on different soaps, Doctors for penis enlargement (lol) xD.
Banks can't keep ur data secure, you're data is for them to make money.
Their privacy law or something like that is utter shit yet i had experienced the same way too on where i do get various ads on different things which i had only set out a specific email which
is been used when i do engage with banking neither online or over the counter registration of accounts. Im not surprised that they would really be leaking off those informations
and i wont really be surprised that personal identification would really leak as well.So i cant just trust up banks but since they are been the default thing on everything
then you wont really have any choice.
3235  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do poker and sports betting skills correlate? on: August 12, 2021, 06:41:38 PM
My opinion on it is just luck. When the same person or account can win in two different tournaments about poker and sports, of course they have the skills to play both. But still, in my view for example there was me for two different tournaments and winning them, I still think it was luck. Since it's very possible that I'll only get it once and not be able to repeat it again and again from time to time, unless I can keep getting wins in every tournament continuously, then it's definitely a matter of skill. But if it's won only occasionally and not continuously, then I consider it just luck though indeed, I also believe in skill but it won't be perfect without luck.

That's where skill gets a bit of luck in this regard, as those who possess it can simultaneously play in several betting options. Poker and sports betting is not an easy gamble, apart from relying on luck, skill will also be very important, so you can give ideas and not guess scores randomly.
For playing out multiple games then this would really be just talking about capability of a certain gambler and i dont know on why OP got surprised that he had seen those same people
who do join up on sports betting and same goes on Poker  which he doesnt realize that we do all have multiple knowledge in terms of games that we do know and not just focusing
on a single one and when it comes to correlation then its just understandable that games basically doesnt have any connection at all.

Profit is considered profit but somehow if you do really tend to look back on what should be your potential earning if you havent sold earlier then that would really be giving off that regrettable kind of vibe
but we shouldnt really that be regretful because profit is profit even though its less but its better than have nothing at all.I have lots of experiences when it comes on selling early because i do already have
the doubts that it would directly ending up on no value once a pump do happen specially on shit coins  that had been pumped in the market.You cant tell if  on how far it would able to go.
3237  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should online gambling companies be responsible for harm related activities? on: August 11, 2021, 10:55:48 PM
Online gambling companies that do not have measures to stop addicts from gambling all of their money should be responsible for anything that happens to them. I think gambling companies should monitor their members deposits and withdrawals and limit them if they think they are in danger of losing more than they can afford.
The fact that they would really be preferring for those players to get addicted because this simply means that it would really be their advantage since people would really be spending something past into their limits
which means it really an add up revenue for them but if they dont really intent to make people addicted but still its a self will type of action on where people do commit out such mistake or addiction.
Gambling companies shouldnt really be blamed off and i dont see a point on why they would really be trying to resolved out a personal type of problem.

having a conversation with a friend today , he was asking me if he should sell or hold a coin. i didnt give a straight answer, i just told him the project is a good one that can do well but if you are willing to wait then you can hold but if you need some money then you can sell off. he then replied that he will wait for an additional 25% increase before he would sell off. i think i tried my best to let him make his final decision himself. is there any better way to do this? if it were you, how would you respond to this. ??
I would respond the same words that you had said into your friend which if he do sees for a project that to be worth of then he should hold but if not then he should sell but in the end of the line it would be still varying or depending into his decision since its his money after all.Just dont give out some  conclusions or assurances towards on the decision that he would make or be the one to decided for him because if things turns out to be bad
or wasnt the thing that he do expect then you would really be mainly to be blamed off and this is why its better not to give out some assurance or conclusions and just let him to decide on his own.

3239  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Exposed to children on: August 11, 2021, 08:59:26 PM
Children aged -15 years are never suitable for gambling because it can damage their behavior later in life.

It depends on their mindset. At the age of 15, I doubt they will have an interest on doing gambling.

But if they really did, more on it was because of their curiosity. I'm sure at that age they already know the difference between what's the good thing to do and not. If we try to force and convince them to ignore gambling the more they want to know about it.

I would doubt that.
From what i've seen in my school days that children were gambling with their pocket money on the school football teams and chess matches and they were around 14-16 yr of age.


Depends on the parent because there are some which could really just simply accept that but there are things which we cant really able to check or observe on even we are really that keen on checking our child
about their activities in school or even just simple on hanging out with their friends.You wouldnt know on what are the possible things that they've been doing on that time since we cant really fully check on them 24/7
which means you would really be needing them to at least made them realize on what are the harmful effects of gambling if they would really be tolerating such act or activity.

Litecoin's 84 million coins with 2.5 minute block time vs Bitcoin's 21 million coins with 10 minute block time.
Bitcoin is an asset but struggles as a currency while Litecoin is an asset and a better currency because of Litecoin's faster transaction time with lower transaction fees.
No one will oppose into those facts that you had mentioned about technicalities but do you really believe that Satoshi itself wasnt aware? but talking about its been the first crypto then the next one would be created by other creators will surely be aiming on being more that better on the current one and this doesnt only talks about Litecoin but also in other top altcoins as well. No doubt that they are better than Bitcoin but the community is whom to decide which one would be mainly supported which is bitcoin and its way too obvious on why they do really chose up which it is understandable that no one could beat up the origin.
