That's a huge amount, if portion of that will go to BTC for investment, then that would move the market a bit. However, since that is a help from the government, I don't think most people would invest it, they'll spend it instead for their needs. For the economic stand point, the fiat will continue to inflate as they continue to print but then, we can't still expect that people will adopt in bitcoin as I believe the main reason why the market is bullish is because of the big players, they dominated the market.

Only way to make money with this is arbitrage betting. But, then you got the risk of closed accounts and what will you do next? Probably in betting shops the best try but difficult to spot the correct odds.
Arbitrage betting is not illegal, they'll only close your account if you are found violating the TOS of a certain gambling site.
This kind of betting has no risk at all, but you have to be very smart to be able to find betting odds that you can arbitrage betting.

Correct me if I'm wrong but that's what I understand on Arbitrage betting and I don't find any risk of our account getting close.

Yes, he beat them, but he get to Manny when Pacquiao is on the decline, and has shoulder injury that time.
Manny was injured but he doesn't look injured, we only know after the fight, he could have cancelled that fight if he can't give his best but probably he doesn't want to miss the opportunity to make big bucks as that was the biggest payday of his career.

While Canelo was still on the rise, he is inexperience to match a fighter of Mayweather's caliber. If I'm not mistaken, it was Canelo's first fight in the US. Anyway, I would agree that Floyd is a smart boxer, a genius and his ring IQ is bar none.
I agree with you, although Canelo was still undefeated that time but he is not as good as he is now.

That was 2013 over 6 years ago and Canelo has really improve now.

Good luck for Blake Griffin, hopefully he will bring success to the team, it's his chance to also win a championship as Nets are filled with superstars.

Blake Griffin set to play for Brooklyn Nets for remainder of season

Quote
BLAKE Griffin is set to join the star-studded Brooklyn Nets on a veteran’s minimum.

The six-time All-Star quickly found a new home after agreeing to a contract buyout with the Detroit Pistons two days ago.

The 31-year-old Griffin boosts the support crew of the Brooklyn squad being led by James Harden and Kyrie Irving, with Kevin Durant out due to injury.

Brooklyn got 4 headed monster now and for Griffins addition to the team it makes them look more scarier, I'm sure many teams are now seeing this addition as a big problem to them since imagine if those 4 star played together in the court they could out scored any their opponent since brooklyn big4  can score + griffin can also contribute on defensive ends.

At the current status of Griffin I think he is not as good as before.

Blake griffin is a monster who can score every night but his stats are going down, especially this season.
https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/g/griffbl01.html

From over 20+ PPG average during his prime, he only average 12 points this season.

I'm glad that everything was sorted out and lets enjoy some top class basketball tonight as I'm backing up Team Durant aswell but I will go with money line on them as the odd is more than attractive. I'm expecting a real show down between the players as at some points their ego's will take over and we might see some crazy plays which I guess all of us are waiting for.

Same here, I'm choosing team Durant as my final bet as well but I will take the point spread instead (huge), and ML (small). For MVP, I'm leaning on Kawhi Leonard and James Harden, that odds are both 14.96 in my book so I'll get x13 whoever wins, and Team Durant has to win is a must.

The odds are nice for durant team but now with embid out thats rough.  Lebrons starting lineup is insane.  Im gonna have to go on team lebron at 1.5 odds, and definately taking the over at 317.  With a lot of the younger guys going to be showcased this one might get super out of hand quick lol.

Wow that was a crazy 4th quarter, thought my over was in the clear by the end of the third quarter.  Dame hit a 40ft 3 pointer to hit the over.  Dude has insane range thankfully.  Team lebron had a clear advantage team wise, surprised the spread was only 4 points.  Easiest bet of the night was team lebron -4.  Big college bb conference tourny week this week.

It was a bad call, I should have put my bet minutes before the game started, the news on Embiid being out in the game was really huge, he could have put some defense on Giannis to not abuse the paint. Congratulations on the over anyway, my bet on Leonard was also a wrong bet, he did not show up in this particular game.

Lmao if this does happen this will be the realization of Def Jam for the PlayStation 2. Mayweather really be doing these exhibition fightrs against people he know won't win against him in technicalities. So yeah, if this does happen, one helpful tip he can use is to ensure that Mayweather is knocked out, otherwise he won't win against him.
Unfortunately no opponent can knock him out as Mayweather is so quick and he is so smart in the ring, he does not engage a lot in a toe to toe fight, his classic technique is a hit and run to score, his been doing that and that made him successful, no way he will change, so most likely it will still be a boring fight if it will happen.
I love, respect, and sometimes supported Mayweather but what you just said now is making it sound like Mayweather is some kind of superman who can never be defeated by anyone. For the record, Mayweather usually went for the opponent that doesn't pose much threat to him this is what fans believe when he didn't want to give Pacman the rematch.
Having said that, he's known for his hit and run technique but if he faces a threat opponent he will have no choice but to change his technique when oppressed.

He would never change, he has face the best boxers in the sports and he won easily.

2 of the boxers he beat that are still active now and a champion on their own division.

1-Manny Pacquiao
2- Canelo Alvarez.

Mayweather beat them by unanimous decision and look how good these two are now, so I can say Mayweather is smart.. about saying that no one can knock him out, I'm just exaggerating.  Smiley

Correct but as a crypto enthusiast, I guess I would prefer to carry bitcoin as its safer and untraceable. Debit card is also good though but crypto is the best, as long as you understand its volatility and know how to manage it, you can always carry as much as you want, even $1 million usd as it's all in your wallet.

Yes.. Bitcoin offers 100% anonymity, as long as you are storing your coins in a wallet which doesn't have any transactions made to KYC-enabled exchanges. Since it is a digital asset, you don't face any checks at the airport as well. It can't get any better than this. You can first convert fiat to BTC in Thailand and then travel to a country such as Cambodia, where gambling is legal. And there you can convert your BTC to fiat and visit the casinos. If you win big amounts, then once again you can convert it back to BTC and travel back to Thailand.

If these countries you've mentioned support crypto then it's easy to travel with huge money in your bitcoin wallet, but if not, it's still useless. Exchanging your bitcoin in countries where p2p is the most popular is not easy, especially if you are a tourist, correct me if I'm wrong.
3569  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manny Pacquiao offered $10 million to fight Terence Crawford on: March 07, 2021, 09:59:25 AM
true. but I am still hoping for Pacquiao and Crawford fight. Pacquiao did mention in an interview that he plans to fight twice this year.
That is good news then.

We will see him box for 1st-2nd quarter of the year and if there is another match.

We shall expect it to come om 3rd-4th quarter of the year.

The main topic is the crawford vs Manny fight, I guess even if this is just his fight this year and he will win, that would be huge enough. Making $40 million in a year, that's a hell of a money already, I don't want to look at the future fight, I'd like to focus on this upcoming fight.
3570  Other / Off-topic / Re: Deontay Wilder: He makes another WILD conspiracy theory about his loss to Fury on: March 06, 2021, 10:10:03 PM
7-1

Even though just 8 votes have been cast in the poll so far it is pointing clearly towards Wilder being in need of professional help to recover from his mental issues.

The question is, would he really be accepting that suggestion nor accept to himself that he's really on a mental problem? This would be hard, he would be refusing nor denying at its best.

Mental issues are really hard to solved on if you cant do it on yourself then seeking help to others would be your last option.

If he can just accept the reality then people would just simply ignore and forget on what happened.

The longer he will accept the lesser his chance of coming back in sport.

Thing is, his value is still high as a boxer, he can still make more money with more fights but the way he think and acts, that's stripping away that opportunity from him, unless he will apologize and try to be professional afterwards.
Never too late to make out some apologize on the things he had been trying to fight out.This isnt talking literally with boxing itself but rather on fighting on ones self.

When it comes to value then thats no doubt but be sure that he wont be letting his name to be forgotten by his fans and jumped out into another favorite boxer.
He wont able to reach out that rank or position if he's not capable, its just he cant really just accept the reality when someone losses on a sport.

There's no specific on how long he would really be facing off this problem.

One of the known boxers. Haton did really make out some comments about him.
"Hatton says he wonders whether the former WBC heavyweight champion Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KOs) is in a good place mentally after the loss to Fury because his comments sound like someone that isn’t rational."

Source: https://www.boxing247.com/boxing-news/170373/170373

For sure other boxers would having the same sentiment.

Hatton knows the feeling of defeat and he suffer a devastating loss against Manny Manny Pacquiao, he fought after that loss and still loss again, maybe he loss his focus when his ego was destroyed by the big loss and Hatton was not able to come back in boxing again.

Wilder is different though but the effect seems too big for him to handle, that's what happen when a boxer has not taste defeat yet and has a mindset that he will never loss, accepting that loss might take some time for Wilder but hopefully he will soon realize as loss is a loss, he can't change it.

There's no betting odds yet but we already have the following odds.

NBA all star 3 point contest
NBA all star skills challenge winner
NBA all star slum dunk winner
NBA all star MVP.

Check out the odds.  https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/basketball/usa/nba-all-star-game/nba-all-star-game-604153939705be2e3951e8d3
I guess Curry can easily win at the three-point contest because the only competitor for him could have been Booker with 3.8 odds, but Booker got an injury, and he will be replaced by Conley with 5.89 odds. Also, I didn't find odds for the slam dunk contest on this site.
I missed Thompson in this kind of competition, I love how Curry and Thompson fight in the Final rack and I would bet on Thompson if these two brothers will face each other. Now, it's all Curry because he is the most popular and the most efficient.

I looked on the other site for the slam dunk odds and here you go.

Maybe for sportsbooks, there are those who can get an average profit every month if it is calculated, but if for slots or games that make emotions, I don't think it will be able to benefit because you can be sure that whatever wins they get will come back again and in the end they will lose. . being unable to control is what puts a lot of people at a disadvantage in gambling. lust to play  Smiley

Obviously you can't make a living in luck based games, unless you are cheating, that way winning is easy for you but in general you can win in games with house edge in the long run. Sports betting is just one of the games that you can win in the long run, provided you have what it takes to be successful and we are talking of skills here.

The thought of saying "making a living" means you are consistently winning in gambling, and it's not possible in slots or roulette as this type of game has a high house edge, you can be lucky once but you'll still be part of the losers who lose in the long run.

I going to be bias as I myself love sports and I'm betting on sports so I believe that if we concentrate and take this as our path, we might be successful here and one day our dream will be realize which is to make a living in gambling.

<snip>
I would like to know if the roobet withdrawal fees are lower in weekends as compare to other days ? If so, what's the logic behind this ?
Normally fees on weekends are lower than weekdays, it still depends on the traffic on mempool. I think there are less transaction being broadcasted on weekends compared to weekdays that's why fees are less on that time. But that is not always the scenario since it depends on mempool. It could also be higher or much much lower, sometimes, fees are completely still.
Today I made a transaction and the fees are lower compared to the previous days, I paid 1-2 usd per transaction and I think that's acceptable for a small amount of transaction. This transaction is from my electrum wallet to roobet gambling site.

3576  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: March 04, 2021, 12:06:35 PM
Here's my pick tonight.

Game: Brooklyn Nets vs Houston Rockets.

I have hard time finding a good spread on the games available so I'm putting bet on the total.
This game, I think it's not gonna be a high scoring game as we usually witness for the Nets, Rockets still hasn't won a game yet so defense is still there.

Therefore my bet is under 228.5, GL!

I'll be in on this one, this should hit except the Rockets are making easy buckets too, but from a team that has scored 100 or less in 4 of their last 5 fixtures, I don't expect much, tbh.

That's what happen in this game, I thought they'd play great defense but it was a high scoring game, Nets still dictate the tempo and won and it's unfortunate for the Rockets that they are now in 13 losing streak. I swear, I would not bet any game rockets will play.

Hence I believe it is quite important to wait and see what will happen in playoffs, dude is a master choker when playoffs comes.
Actually laughed on that master choker you have said which is definitely on point.No matter how good the stats are but still not enough on getting a ring but hey
maybe this time we would really be seeing some chance or odds for him to get his 1st time ring? Im also eager to see on how Harden or the entire
team will be performing in playoffs.I do only consider playoffs time when it comes to seriousness of each teams.
IMO, Harden is not a master choker, it's just that he is not playing in a championship contender team but he is with the Nets now and he is playing better than when he was with the Nets, so I guess we will still see him choked in the playoffs.

If I would compare Lebron vs James, I believe that Lebron choked more than James.  Grin

Nice information OP, however, if a gamblers focus in the past is just to gamble without having an interest to invest, they could enjoy the current price. Fees before are very cheap and transaction is faster, but now is different, it's time for altcoins to be expose and use as a currency for gambling purposes.

When I was new, the sites that I'm familiar with are PD, satoshidice, directbet and nitrogensports, now the crypto gambling industry are already filled with a big number of gambling sites and that is a healthy competition that will benefit us.
