I've lost big out of gambling, still my mind always looks for the Dice game. I don't know why I'm sticking to it. Quite often used to think of spending on other slot games, but wasn't able to do it. With Dice, the process seems to be quite simple. I keep spending on sports betting, but I wasn't able to start spending once after getting into Dice.

What if the final between NZ and England ends up in a draw ? Do we have something like super over to decide the winner or give each team one more innings etc. I really would not want that the final is declared as a draw and both team share the title.
Wait! NZ and England playing a friendly match now. England isn't the finalist. New Zealand and India are the finalists of WTC. If the final ends as a draw then both team will share the trophy. The final match will be played on June 18th to 22nd. There is also a reserve day. Read this article to know how and when the reserve day will be used (What happens if World Test Championship Final ends in a draw)

I realized it too. The final is between NZ and India but there is a practice match between England and New Zealand, which created the confusion.
Whom do you think is the favorite among the two ? I think India is more likely to win this final match.
New Zealand is in great form. Although India is a good team, the results of their Test match against New Zealand are not good. India have performed well enough in the last few Tests against strong opponents like Australia and England. I don't think they will be able to do the same against New Zealand. I think New Zealand will win.
Both the teams are in good form, the test match that is being played at the moment will help New Zealand keep up the form as the match against India falls next to the ongoing series. India has already marked a win against two giants, but this time the climatic conditions might affect them a little. In most of the New Zealand tour India used to experience hard situation due to the varied climate. This time the match is being played on England, so there is 50-50 chance for both the teams.

Where can I see the winners of each weekly raffle?
If somebody has a link ~
You can see the winners list at Stake forum. Check the Giveaways section of Stake forum. They publish the winner list of each week with their prize link. Here is the winner of today ($100,000 giveaway winners #5)
If the list were provided with the number of raffle tickets each has accumulated over the weeks time will give a clarity on how big needs to be wagered to win in the event. There might be very few with small number of raffle tickets, who are the true lucky ones. If I'm not wrong every winner will be holding atleast 500 raffle tickets.
3364  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will energy consumption be Bitcoins downfall ? on: June 05, 2021, 10:32:25 PM
After Elon Musk's tweet about energy consumption, why do many people think that only bitcoin consumes a lot of energy, but if we compare it to industrial factories around the world, bitcoin consumes very little energy because bitcoin mining factories exist in only a few countries, whereas factories industry already exists throughout the country.

  People are aware there are more than one mined cryptocurrency just as there is more than one bank competing for consumer business. Now that there are crypto's competition for market share cryptos such as Nano may start capturing a little more of the market. BTC will continue to get the Lions share for many more years as it was the first, is well weathered and has the name.

Just as people moved from gasoline powered cars to electric will investors also move from bitcoin to ecofriendly alts?
I don’t really think so. But yes a lot of people don’t like that bitcoin consumes a lot of energy, and for sure there are going to be people who are going to leave Bitcoin to go for all those greener altcoins, but that is not the end for Bitcoin. If you have been reading the news or doing research about bitcoin mining, you’re going to know that a lot of mining companies now are starting to move to mining Bitcoin with renewable energy source. I know of a company that 95% of their mining is with renewable energy, and then 5% is from nuclear.

I think at the very least we will start seeing some diversification into established coins using POS as regardless of the sources of energy its vastly less than POW
By the time it is a must to think of the scenario without POW. Such a scenario isn't possible, because majority of the POS coins gets tied to the POW in some form and there is massive dependence. The better solution is the production of energy efficient hardware equipments.

It's better if the site is ready to launch and promote it here. In that way, you made this thread as announcement thread of the site and also received suggestions and more for the team to check and discuss if it's to implement or not. I have seen some sites do that and they able to make their site secured, trusted and reputable.
Usually ANN threads is a form of advertising a newly created and finalized website or service but this one is different on where making out introduction into something which is still on the making or in process of creation.

I dont see any revolutionary type of crash game that could be possibly be created unless if this one do really have some extra ordinary feature that we might not have seen before.


Let's wait and see, whether it has got something unique from the rest of the crash games or the same. Through its varied approach about the launch it has been creating some expectation among the gamblers who has been much into crash games.

Does the launch of new game has got any bonus to the initial participants.

During the last weekly boost Stake announced that

Quote
Want to earn 10% extra on next weeks boost? All verified accounts will receive extra starting next week. Unverified users will not receive less. Verification is not mandatory. This is simply in place to prevent promotional abuse.
So, unverified accounts will receive the amount what they should have (nothing less). And user with verified account will receive extra amount. Stake also give extra rewards (double amount) to verified user in some other promotion. And there is no strict rules of account verification at any promotion of Stake. Actually I couldn't get the point that how it will prevent the promotional abuse! @MICRO, Can you clarify about it?

Yes, that is the case atm.

It is much easier to work with verified accounts and give out more when there is no so much abuse of our promotions and giveaways.

We hope that almost all our players will eventually get verified as they will have amazing benefits compared to unverified accounts.
Providing an extra bonus is a way to make unverified accounts get verified. Initially KYC free, then a variation in bonus based on the account verification. In future things can change, only verified accounts will receive bonus. The gambling platforms always want things to be risk free and that's the reason KYC is getting importance even with the legit ones.

The worst part is that some people who followed all precaution protocols properly got affected badly because of these imbeciles. Fault lies on both the government and the people who failed to follow the precaution protocols effectively.
Government had no idea about the second wave and they did not take any precautions and if you have a government who does not have any idea about the situation how will the people take anything seriously and majority are illiterate.


You are right. Many ministers in the Indian government are completely uneducated and bigoted. They do a lot of bad things for the sake of religion. One of the Indian ministers said that if you drink cow's urine, you will not get the coronavirus. When there are such uneducated people in the minister of the country, how can the common people of the country be aware?
You're talking about the ministers. The Prime Minister is far above these ministers, because they told of drinking and bathing on urine. The prime minister went a step above and insisted people to make noise with drums, vessels and whatever you have in your hand at a particular time to fight against covid-19 during the first wave. What a foolishness.

Apart from this more number of YouTube influencers are misleading people towards different gambling platforms for their benefits through the ads at the beginning of videos. By this time each and everyone are suffering financially. When people are in need, they easily give a try and few succeed and majority losses. In my view it isn't the right time for those YouTube channels to mislead people.
3369  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fully vaccinated individuals now spared of masks in the casinos in Vegas on: June 04, 2021, 04:58:27 PM
Joe Biden announced thst people who are vaccinated no need to wear mask and they can go anywhere they want but I don't understand the logic behind it, since the vaccinated people can still act as carrier and spread the virus to unvaccinated people, anyway vaccinated people even getting infected.

So guys be ready for third wave. Smiley
Even Joe Biden says to people that they do not need to wear a mask after they vaccinated, we still need to take care of our health and wear the mask, especially if we are in the public area. We do not know if we are safe in the public area or not so it is better to prevent than to cure.

I heard that the vaccinated people can still get infected because the vaccine can not fully protect them. I do not expect to see the third wave, but we all can be in danger if that is really happen.

We are safe even if we took the mask off, provided we are vaccinated, but people around us or our family that does not have the vaccine yet are not safe. There's no 3rd wave for sure unless there's another virus that will come that the vaccine will render useless, but God forbid, it should not happen.
The second wave is a mutated form of the covid-19. In few countries already it's been mentioned as third wave of covid-19 have begun. Today within 24 hrs more than 500 people have died in USA. Earlier it was very less, and this isn't gonna stop soon. Vaccination is the only solution, but it isn't available for everyone.
3370  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you limit your gambling time? on: June 04, 2021, 12:38:13 PM
many times simply "being disciplined" is easier said than done.

to limit the access to addicting behavior probably two usefull ways are:
- using and alarm or timer (so you set a right time to do the acitivity)
- limiting bankroll available

do you see other possibilities?
I believe in the 3rd option mate, and that is "Always bring your wife or Someone very close to you" when you are in gambling time.

Let them stop you whenever theres a call, so in this you have a Human alarm and not just an sounds that you can just deny anytime .

definitely the most effective
if you have a trusted person that you listen to it will definitely help
good comment, thanks for sharing bitterguy28, seems like you're not so bitter after all.
Yes, bringing the close ones when you're into gambling is a good choice to make a right exit. I need to share my experience. I used to keep my girl next to me while gambling, and she insists to stop at the right time. Later when I lost big, she cried a lot. This made me gambling without her knowledge. Don't do such things, whether your closest person is feeling worried. Nothing to worry, have transparency.
3371  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Be a Responsible Gambler on: June 03, 2021, 11:56:01 PM
If you are a person who live your life with what you earn and all of the sudden if there is no way to earn/there is no way to earn money due to lockdown don't go into gambling. This will completely destroy your life and creates issue in relationship. I assure this will happen, even if you don't have money for food request help with someone. You'll get your food, have it with peace than ending in frustration.

Some people when they lose their jobs or need additional income there are those who think of playing gambling, this will be the beginning of
their financial problems. Because gambling cannot be expected as a source of income, because there is no guaranteed strategy that allows us
to win continuously in gambling. I have seen several times gamblers whose lives ended badly after making gambling their source of income,
and many rich people become poor because they are addicted to gambling. Therefore, if we need money, don't even think about making money
through gambling, if it's just to get food. We can ask our friends or family for help, I am sure there will be good people who are willing to share the food.
The issue is that those people have a flawed thinking, it is obvious that if the majority of the gamblers could generate profits at the expense of the casino then casinos will not be in business anymore, so while there are a few pros out there that can make money with gambling, casinos for the most part are the only ones to obtain profits and I do not see this with bad eyes, it is just that people need to understand that this is the way it is and if they cannot then they need to stay away from gambling as the chances that they become addicted or develop some problems are high for them.
Each and every common man have the mind to make money. As a result they'll be looking for different opportunities. When something looks like an easy path, they simply get into it without any research about the issues that arise with time when we go unlucky. People need to stay out of gambling when they find it won't get us a win in life. There shouldn't be a never give up move on gambling.
3372  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you bet on climbing challenges on: June 03, 2021, 09:46:28 AM
These games aren't much known. Spending on these kind of little known games will be truly fun filled, because we can't make predictions as we make with a soccer, tennis or some other games. Anytime the change can happen, and so will be the end result. I had a thought these are just adventure events that are being practiced for long term and executed. Now only came to know, there is games organised on it.
3373  Economy / Gambling / Re: Rollbit.com | Crypto's Most Rewarding Casino 👑 on: June 03, 2021, 03:05:41 AM
About restriction country, i believe many people still trying to bypass with VPN although it's not allowed
Referring to the Rollbit term and service, they not explicitly tell the VPN is can allow or not. However, to avoid the problem the user should read TOC carefully when coming from a country which restricted area, better to do not playing the games with the forbidden country.
That's the right choice. Always going through the terms and conditions is a must before getting used to any gambling platform. Once used to it, and if there arises an issue we won't get proper support. It is always good to go with suggestion from the gambling site. Some sites used to provide with mirrors, using that won't end with problems.

Who's excited for some awesome new promotions tomorrow?

No hints Wink

https://twitter.com/Stake/status/1400044018784997386
Everyone will be excited to know about the promotion, and it is good to add two sections. One a win based on luck and the other based on wagering. This will make even the low wagered gamblers get a chance of winning something from the promotion.
3375  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake.com - Casino & Sports - UFC Official Betting Partner - Play Smarter 🥊 on: May 31, 2021, 11:14:59 PM
The team is one of the biggest in the cryptocurrency market and this is not the first time they are giving away huge amounts for their users and they are continuing this and the amounts of coins they are having is huge considering how big the price of Bitcoin is right now from where they started and hence it is not a big deal for the team and they do not need outside funds to give away these huge rewards.

 

Right, stake had been very generous in their promotions and has never been late to pay the winnings to their respective winners. Stunna and team had always been very punctual in their works, whether it is about managing Primedice and now, Stake. I wish if they open a pot some day to let all of their players invest something in it and gain a part of their profits.  Grin
Gambling sites go for the addition of investment option when they lack fund. With Stake fund isn't a problem till date, so they won't open up pots to share the profit with investors. Most of the time to reach the next level there will be requirement of funds.

Sad, he had lost a good friend. No words to console him. Myself have took decision to end my life after losing all my savings on gambling. This is the first time I'm coming across a person who've ended his life losing through trading. It is the mind that decides at the instant, if we cross that moment we'll not do this. Myself came out of such a decision after, because I shared my loss on the forum and everyone had the same thought. Life is precious, money can be earned.
3377  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Welcome bonuses on: May 31, 2021, 03:10:48 PM
Most online casinos and sports betting sites offer welcome bonuses,  ranged from the free spins to deposit ones,  that maximize  profit, if any, from  the first  deals for newcomers. Sometimes, the advantages of welcome bonuses   are    nullified  by  attached wagering requirements  hidden in the terms and conditions (T&C) that regulate gambling on those sites. Would you read T&C before go ahead and make your first deposit attracted by those welcome bonuses?
These day almost every gambling site comes up with the welcome bonus. Among them trusted gambling sites won't provide these kind of welcome bonus. Very few used to read the terms and conditions before getting registered on a gambling platform. Most of the time users register and deposit without reading the terms and conditions. Later on withdrawal it comes as an issue and for this reason several gambling sites have been taken into scam accusations.
3378  Economy / Speculation / Re: Reverse Bubble 2021 on: May 31, 2021, 10:21:25 AM
Market seems to be holding the support trend line. $35000 in my view looks like minor resistance point. The price will probably test $37000 - $38000. Based on the support pattern we can expect the further move close to $45000 upwards and towards $25000 if the support got broken and falls back to $33000. This doesn't look like a bubble, right now it is on the edge of gaining resistance.

I don't remember the cryptocurrency name exactly, but it is found within the top hundred on coinmarketcap. The project is based on the article developing. Based on the content we provide we'll be rewarded with the respective token. It has got value in the market. Same as that we've got merit in our forum, there users will provide tip based on the quality of the article.

Already there are similar products. As of now everything have grown through our forum and our forum having a separate token isn't a necessary one.

Over the past two weeks the price of bitcoin seems to crash during the weekend and starts recovering from the starting of the week. This way I don't think the perfect price correction is over. In my understanding there is more chance of price crash to happen over the falling weeks. I've predicted that the price of bitcoin will surely go down to $30000 making the price of ethereum touch $1500.
