There is one sportsbetting website that offers this, https://sportsbet.io
You can basically make custom prop bets against other players, if I'm understanding this correctly.

This is the correct explanation, you can see it pretty clearly on coinmarketcap, the graphs of the btc prices show almost similar movement.
You do also see some outliers on there, especially among the newer coins.

Betfair has been a well-known traditional casino for years, it was also pretty popular for poker.
It's certainly trusted I would say.

I would focus on the Youtube channel, since there are already other websites that offer the same information.
You'll also reach more people who wouldn't look into this otherwise.

For this project, I would also try to make it purely donation based or have some other form of income without resorting to using affiliate links from the forums or getting funded by casino's to do a promotion.
A service like this needs to be completely independant andit can't look like you're biased.

What exactly do you mean by this?

What's a lifetime of vape loyalty?

Are you just planning on doing an ICO and start up a physical or online shop with the money you raise?

I personally wouldn't let the future of my child be dependant on Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency, it's too volatile to be used as a safe store of value IMO.
Perhaps buying them Bitcoin in addition to some other means of saving would be better.

If you're with the right kind of people, it could be as simple as just moving the conversation towards the topic of Bitcoin or cryptocurrency in general.
It's definitely something interesting to talk about if you have friends that are interested in technology or finance.

I just wouldn't brag too much about how much you've made.

It's probably a combination of interests, I hear that Bitcoin is actually getting pretty popular in Japan for it's use as a currency, so I don't think it's all speculation.
But if you see a sudden price spike of 500 dollars in a day, that's most definitely fueled by pure speculation.

I wonder what the price will do if Australia regulates Bitcoin.

At the current rate, I'd say that fees are becoming pretty significant though. Especially for people who like to gamble under $100, if you're sending Bitcoins with multiple inputs.
I think the casino should cover part of the fees and some casino's do that, it's a great service imo. 

The best way to go about this would be to have a look on Coinmarketcap and pick out some coins in the top 30 that have good growth potential.
Study the coins that you're interested in and make some investments

I'm personally investing in Litecoin and Stratis.

They just got Segwit activated, so I wouldn't call Litecoin dead, it's under active development.

Have a look at their roadmap for 2017: https://litecoincore.org/

If you'd use a hardware wallet, wouldn't hardware failure be an issue?
If you just store them in a paper wallet, would your coins be compromised due to a hard fork? I mean just any hard fork?

Let's assume that wouldn't be the case, then I'd think a paper wallet might be the better option, if you're using thick, laminated paper...

Thanks for sharing, you definitely put some effort into writing all that down
Which of these strategies has been the most successful for you? Or do you have any personal favourites?

You shouldn't be too surprised about this, a correction was bound to happen, better sooner than later.
Not going to make any predictions here, but I doubt that it's going to be the same as back in 2013 - 2014, if any of you remember.

Yup, and we all saw what that did to the Bitcoin price, OP must be on to something here! 
Everybody knows correlation DOES imply causation!

Huh, what? You only play when you're moody?
That seems like the worst time to play since you'd probably make bad decisions when you gamble if you're having a bad day.

It would be helpful if you posted the TXID of your transactions.
Did you add enough fees? Do you have confirmations on that transaction?

That said, I've read multiple stories that their support is really terrible, that should be enough reason not to use them.
Why use them in the first place? what do they offer that Bittrex or Poloniex do not offer? IMO their UI is really terrible.
I've heard the opposite about their support...

That's looking really nice! I'm glad you used my leaderboard suggestion.

I have another suggestion, but this one could be a bit tricky to add immediately.
It would be very handy if you also had a trading bot in place that's similar to other already existing trading bots, preferably one where you could add your own algorithms or at least choose from a number of them.

Letting users add actual code might not be a good idea :p But having a trading bot that allows you to change certain parameters should be possible.

Anyway, it would probably be something for the future.

I've used Bitsquare before and it has some good sellers of there for certain coins, but compared to other exchanges it's pretty deserted there.
I really like the way it works though, so I certainly hope traffic picks up and they offer some more trading pairs in the future.

My experience is from about a month ago btw

I've also asked this question before in the trading section, but got almost no replies on that topic

No, just no, not even if I had another 100 BTC set aside, it's just a really slippery slope when you start doing that.
It will work a couple of times, you'll get used to it and think that you cannot lose, you'll do it more often.

Then you start losing once, but okay, it's no problem, you'll just do it another couple of times just so you end up with a little bit of profit.
And that's when you'll lose some more, until all of your coins are gone.

I've seen this exact scenario play out more than once, seen people complain in chat on a gambling website asking for refunds because they lost like 100 Bitcoins and threatening to commit suicide n all.
