Well, as much as I really liked Twitter boss, this just goes to show he is as much a degen as the rest of NFT space.

I have mentioned in previous threads what I think of NFTs and this just proves what I said about them.

One day, these will go big and one day, these will go even bigger, until they all fall down and nobody but the very rich will buy them, just like all those expensive art we all can't afford and can't understand.
3404  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: The new star of the stock market is APE COIN!! on: March 30, 2022, 01:02:36 PM
And I see all the cefi platforms giving 30% APY and up on APE too, simply amazing to see just how far NFT hype and speculator frenzy can take a coin.

It's probably going to end up even higher, at some point, but in the end, everyone will be thanking Bitcoin and Ethereum for that.

Enjoy the ride, don't get burned.

Am a gamer and I have zero interest in NFTs primary because they are a gimmick that has literally zero value unless they were designed by popular celebrities in my honest opinion.

Gamblers just see them as another way to make money just like CS skins etc which is why they try to buy them low and sell them high when demand is high. However, I feel that their interest in them won't persist in the long-term.

I'll admit I'm leaning towards your opinion of NFTs as they currently stand. I looked at P2E games and they're really just gimmicks with no gameplay value. People say NFTs give real world value to digital things but if the only use for them is in the P2E games to breed more and make more, that doesn't make it useful after the game dies. And many have already dided.

But the new types of NFTs that actually bring gameplay to the table and doesn't force you to pay to play, maybe there's something there. We have to wait and see though as no games have that out yet.
3406  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: March 30, 2022, 09:15:25 AM
But after all Madrid's position at the top is safe, Madrid only needs to be consistent in getting points even though it is a draw with one point. If Barcelona can be consistent why not for Real Madrid too, so that their points gap is maintained and Madrid can completely get a good result too and I have no doubts about that even though I am not a fan of them. They are a great team so it is impossible for them to get consecutive defeats, moreover they are now at the top of the table which of course their quality is better than average.

Yeah I think they just need to not lose, at this point they will probably want to make sure their stars stay fit and healthy, Champions League they might want to win big on the first leg, and then sacrifice some games to draw rather than not lose in La Liga.

Barca in the form of their life but this is why Real built a cushion!
3407  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which is the best way to spend eth from a wallet? on: March 30, 2022, 07:53:14 AM
Yeah, you can't avoid fees. I've used Ethereum and ERC20 a lot and I can tell you in the long run, you save more using MetaMask on your own, if you don't need urgent txs then just send a lower than recommended fee, it eventually clears (and you can always speed up now if you suddenly need it urgent).

Exchange fees and worse card fees, end up being much more.

Another option, if you want, send your ETH to BSC, use wrapped Ethereum to trade on BSC or on Binance and withdraw that. Cheaper, but you of course have to trust BSC security.

Hey guys and everyone! Can't believe this is actually gonna be a thing! I took the very first one yesterday, my usual speculative bet. This was a match of equals in a way, 8 wins each in 16 previous meets, now RR have the 9 Smiley

But I believe at 24, we can already sense something special coming for this promo. GL!

3409  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io Betting discussion thread rev on: March 29, 2022, 11:57:54 AM
Just wanted to share a IPL Cricket special for anyone interested. In case you guys missed Soccer Blackjack, this is very similar but using Extra Innings count. 16-20 is a push and 21 is 21x payout Wink

Rajasthan Royals last season had 14 extras against KKR, Same as Sunrisers also 14 against the Royals Wink

BUT they tend to average around 7.

So seems like a good bet for me:
Sunrisers Hyderabad - Rajasthan Royals
Exactly 21 Extras (Money Back If Between 16 - 20, Bet Loses If Under 16 & Over 21)

Lol who says that there is no need? so what is the sense of this forum instead? we are here for sharing mate and this is the essence of this forum , by helping each others though I have my own strategy but there is no wrong in asking and sharing as we might find more accurate and worth trying strategy lol.
but thanks for the opinion still valid and good.

Haha okay fine fine, but share it in Trading and not discussion I guess. I just always feel those already sharing good strategies and insight from TA are in that subsection and doing very well, I always feel like those sharing from a profit perspective seem to know less about what they're doing so can't share useful stuff.

Forgive my negativity and please go on and share ahead Wink

Yes, I have heard at least 5% on actual price gone in commission and fees and such, but at the same time, there is also a low limit allowance for buys without KYC, and it's instant as far as I know (you get the tx to your wallet or you can get a paper wallet).

So there is some advantage to privacy (if without KYC) and perhaps just an additional option that could also be more convenient for OP.

I honestly wouldn't use an ATM but if there are so many around the world and it keeps growing, there must be a lot of demand.

I think the OP has emphasized that it is interested in a transaction for cash. Cash for cryptocurrency is always done without passing KYC verifications.
or I've missed something.

Yes, we were discussing a cash alternative, which is Bitcoin ATMs. When you buy at these machines, you insert cash (paper bills) and then you get back Bitcoin which you scan your QR code from your digital wallet OR you receive a paper wallet (a slip the machine prints out with your private keys). You're expected to then sweep that BTC into your own wallet later.

But Bitcoin ATMs now have a limit allowance for KYCless buying. UK for example has now banned them (I just read) because they didn't require KYC but I know most places allow to buy a small amount without KYC, then after a certain limit you must scan ID.
3412  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to understand or know the whale's next move? on: March 29, 2022, 05:34:41 AM
I would even go further and say 100% scam. Anyone who actually tracks whales and moves to help them make trading profit is not going to open a group for others to join. Just in the same way anyone pumping/dumping or getting super signals is never going to open a group for people. Why share secrets?

This falls into the same category of all scams whereby if it's too good to be true... Smiley

Remember it doesn't even need to be 1% with 100x leverage you only need 0.01% Wink
True, after all if someone has found a way to obtain information of when a group of whales is going to move and in which direction they want to push the market then why share that information with anyone? After all we do not need to be a genius to know that obtaining such information would have been hard, time consuming and costly, so it would not make sense for anyone to share that information for free or at a low cost.

With this in mind then it is best to ignore anyone that says they have access to that information as there is a very high probability they are scammers and we would be wasting our money if we decided to pay for the supposed information they have at their disposal.

That is exactly the core questioning for every "get rich" scam out there. Trading secrets especially, from 30 years ago, how to make money from stock markets, then penny stocks, then forex, and now from crypto and now from following whale signals.

If it's true, why share it? If sharing it to "help others" as they claim, why charge money for it?

It doesn't make sense because it's a pure scam Smiley

Just commenting back on last week's NFT post, I didn't imagine to see the reception for NFTs. I know it can get a lot of very strong opinions from gamers, where they seem to really hate NFTs, and personally I dislike them but wouldn't say hate lol

I think it would be a really interesting case study to see the positive reactions from gamblers as opposed to gamers (video games I mean) with NFTs.

So has anyone won it yet?
3414  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers on: March 28, 2022, 08:48:02 AM
A dice bet on 1.01 is "safer" to me than a football bet on 1.01 or any sports actually. OR even 1.1x on dice you are for sure getting a chance of almost 90% to win, whereas in football these 1.1x odds are never 9 out of 10 games, just always a draw to kill you when you least expect it. Which is why I never go below 1.5x in football (where even that is not easy).

Yes, that's true. I noticed that at extremely low odds (as well as at extremely high odds), the "honesty" of the results is lost. This is probably because many betters like "reliable" bets and bookmakers give unfairly low odds - that is, instead of 1.1 they give 1.05, etc. The same happens at extremely high odds - instead of 70, bookmakers give only 50, and so on. Really fair odds with fair bookmaker margins can only be found in the middle range.

Absolutely I think you just used the right word here with "honesty". And in the same way if I see a game with very high odds (comparative to what is used to be the case for the same team) then the odds are being completely dishonest about chances, and rather reflecting where peple are putting the money.

For example if you see some odds are the exact same capped at 100x. 7-7 and 5-5, so of course 7-7 should be harder. So never make that bet unless you get "honest" odds!
3415  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Saved Me. on: March 28, 2022, 06:56:12 AM
all I ca say is congratulations , but is there any chance that you will share here the strategy you did? and still doing now?

this would be a Big help to others mate and also to aspiring traders and like you who has no funds to invest now and just having difficulties to make money in trading area as this is really risky .

Trading strategies shared? Nah, no need guy. Just DCA. Keep your day job, keep learning, living etc. Trading will take away all your free time, sap your energy and end up still with you wondering what on earth happened to your capital lol

Just dollar cost average buy the same amount as much as possible as often as possible. Bull run time becomes fun like that Smiley
3416  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Are we going to see a new altcoin boom soon on: March 28, 2022, 06:05:04 AM
Green season are coming, no more drama in the market and its about rising again. The altcoins are oversold, I can see that they will start to pump as well together with Bitcoin, we are going to welcome the second quarter of 2022 on a big green candle. Lucky to those who bought at the bottom price, because you can make more money now as many altcoins aims to have new ATH.

Oversold's a problematic term for me to be honest, because that totally admits that altcoins are really just useful for speculating on rather than for actual utility (because then we would be using the term undervalued).

But anyway, green season coming? Maybe, but that's always going to be thanks to Bitcoin, unfortunately Wink
3417  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers on: March 27, 2022, 02:10:03 PM
Odds on this game was so small for Italy, even with handicap you needed -1.5 to get over 1.5x. I never really understand why people put a lot of money on small odds games, especially when it comes to football, where there are probably a lot more upsets than we think (even a draw is an upset!).

Can't believe Italy is out either. Wow.

Sometimes people get carried away and think there is a 100% safe bet! And then they invest more money to make that safe income, but sometimes it doesn't go that way, which can be seen in this case!
And I lost some tickets because of Italy, who could have thought that Macedonia would celebrate in the middle of Italy?! Not even in my wildest dreams! But my losses are not big, and I won some singles, so I am like on zero!
After this can we say that Macedonia has pretty nice chances to win against Portugal?!

A dice bet on 1.01 is "safer" to me than a football bet on 1.01 or any sports actually. OR even 1.1x on dice you are for sure getting a chance of almost 90% to win, whereas in football these 1.1x odds are never 9 out of 10 games, just always a draw to kill you when you least expect it. Which is why I never go below 1.5x in football (where even that is not easy).



I hope they don't experience what Italy went through. It will be the last world cup of Christiano Ronaldo and I think he will show a good cup performance. But he cannot make the team win alone.
It would be a huge mistake if they thought their opponents were weak. We've seen a lot of surprising results in football matches this year Cheesy

Well, I just hope whoever deserves it goes through. Italy didn't deserve to go out, maybe, looking back on performances past, but can't say Macedonia didn't deserve it either, to make it this far with a style of defending that the Italians gave up a long time ago.

Ronaldo has to make way for his colleagues. Problem with playing him is you can't play a new team style, you always build a squad around him. That's not good for the next EURO.

I understand the people who would like to keep their money. If you offered me free money, literally nothing in return, just free money then I would want to not lose that too and that makes sense to me.

Just because it came from signature campaign doesn't mean it is free, it's their money and they deserve to keep it. HOWEVER, the biggest deal here is that, if you earned that money and gambled with it, then you are the one who made a mistake, if you want to keep it then just withdraw it, or earn it in a way that you can keep it. If you earn money and then gamble it away, then it is a big your problem as well and makes no sense to me at all.

Don't know where you got in my comment that I was talking about free money. No such thing in life as a free lunch my friend, you always pay for things. Some things it's easier to see, others, it's not Wink

Anyway, we're in a gambling subforum and we're in a casino ANN thread. If we're not gamblers, then I don't know what we're doing here, I guess that's my final point in this whole thing.

Look forward to see what's coming for this site, I'll take a break from wagering for a while Wink
3419  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Buying Cryptocurrency with Cash in Europe? on: March 26, 2022, 12:29:53 PM
If you don't mind paying high fees (from what I understand) then why not also try Bitcoin ATMs? I don't have any near me as I know of and I feel like it's not really popular in my part of the planet but I keep reading about ATMs in Europe and America so I guess there is a quick and reliable option (it is a bit more risky with P2P if you are new).
It played on the range of 13% fee down below if you buy Bitcoin on any Bitcoin ATMs based in Europe according to the CoinATMRadar
It's too hurt to our pocket to cover those fees but if you've no choice, it might be good if you'll accept that you've already lost a certain amount because of the fee.

If you don't care about KYC, find a better exchange that you can be trusted, most exchange platforms now are required KYC verifications, and if you can deal with this, go for CEX.IO or in Coinbase.

Yes, I have heard at least 5% on actual price gone in commission and fees and such, but at the same time, there is also a low limit allowance for buys without KYC, and it's instant as far as I know (you get the tx to your wallet or you can get a paper wallet).

Haven't been doing my cricket rounds for a while, just in general too busy and too remote to do serious follow ups but MI are ripe to bet against today, do you guys think? Just feel like they bowed out too easy last time around.

@JSRAW I share your feelings about leaving in a good way. Everyone will understand and even support you if you have to take an enforced leave. Even if you explain it first and people disagree, at least you gave enough notice first. It's a universal human thing, there is right, there is wrong, and sure there's a lot of gray too but anyway...

Good luck to all you guys, I would have joined this pool if I could put my picks in today but weekend is really bad for me now so I'll miss first picks.

Add a reminder if you can to msg me for future pools Smiley
