Guys, sorry for bumpimg old tread, but has anyone tried http://bet888win.net/live-casino/ - it looks decent, but i'm still concerned about putting my money in every service since i've got scammed. I do believe in you and that Internet knows everything.
I don't know why you are trying that casino were you have lot of other options now a days.You can find legit casinos by spending few minutes in the gambling section of this forum and also check out the signature here too see who got more reputed.

Exactly you do not have to try every new site to check weather its legal or not. I just select 2 or 3 sites which are legit and have been there for many years.  I do not experiment on other sites as if you deposits money on any new gambling sites, it is always a risk that if they scam, they will not let you withdraw.

Yeah no man is an island and with the help of your friends and family, you can surpass addiction entirely. I've done that before and without the help of anyone it's totally hard.
In addition, you can also count on God. Some atheists out there might contradict to this idea but for me (even being a not so pious person) it works especially during the times when I'm feeling down and losing my mind. Actually, it's very hard to explain on how He help us but what I'm sure is that I feel relieved when I pray to Him.

Well in some religions gambling is not allowed. For those people who still play gambling can convince themselves that since the gambling is not allowed in their religion, they will avoid playing it in future.

It is like a commitment to oneself and its only the attitude and belief of the person on how well he respects his religion and avoid the things which are prohibited.
3563  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is growing at nonstop rates in my country on: January 31, 2019, 08:15:43 AM
Well many in country are now into gambling i think. but still hoping that the casinos or any other gambling site will not be near school. there should be provision or law where to locate such.  As for me, i am not into gambling, i am not fond of gambling.  My thinking is that I will always loose and i think that is the reality since many has no luck in gambling too. And also, people that are gambling must gamble only the money they are willing to loose or afford to loose. Since there are 50 50 or less chances of winning.  They should take away the money for the basic needs.


Even if the law is passed, that no casino will be opened near the schools, that will not fully serve the purpose. The reason is that these days gambling is easily accessible online and the school going children can also easily access it.  There is no way we can stop gambling being accessible to minors and the only option is to enable KYC for the exchanges to which many gamblers will not agree.
3564  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: January 31, 2019, 06:42:11 AM
What the fuck has happened with Indian batsman? India- 55/8, Is it a bowling pitch? New Zealand won toss and choose to bowl first and they have been successful for now. No one but Hardik and Dhawan was able to make a 2 figure score, Dhawan- 13 and Hardik- 16. How this happened?

Scoring only 92 runs by the team as good as India is just not imaginable. I think either they were over confident and it went wrong for them or it may be a case of match fix. Although i do not have any proof of it but we cannot deny possibility. Lastly all those who bet in the favor of India get all REKT.
3565  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling site that offer Free spin? on: January 31, 2019, 05:41:22 AM
FortuneJack offers 25 free spins just for registration from what I can see on the homepage of the site, and BitStarz also offers 180 free spins on registration as well. If you're just interested in playing and/or testing out the games on a casino, some casinos allow you to play via play money or tokens like FortuneJack or Crypto-Games. Good luck!
As far as I know FortuneJack will require you a little deposit before giving you free spin. I am not sure though. I remember last time I checked it and saw this kind of requirement.

I think as far as gambling sites free spins are concerned, these just have no values as you cannot earn much from free spins. Free Spins and free satoshi don't have much impact. I think the approach should be to use the real money to play gambling as that's the only way to earn good from it.
If you want to just test the site or just wana play for fun, then these free spins can be useful to you.
3566  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you still continue? on: January 29, 2019, 12:13:48 PM
What will you do if after losing several times in gambling, you are left with only small amount of money and that money will be for your fuel or for transportation, will you still continue with the little you are left with? What if you lose?
Gambling is an addiction and they are Many gamblers that are even borrowing money to gamble and they are currently in debt.  If I lose heavily in gambling and what I have remained is for my fuel I don't think I will continue because I am not addicted to gamble.

I haven't a close relative or friend that borrows to gamble. I have heard of a guy that he had losses and he borrowed to gamble and then he lost again. The situation became worse rather than fixing the problem. It is a red line for us but many people think that this option is going to solve their problem. They need support in order to stop gambling and not threaten their lives.


I will definitely continue still we are laughing the gambling field in cryptocurrency but they are gambling field after be developed in this year more than the previous year so gambling will not dying still the people who are using it.

Just like crypto currency will not die similarly gambling will also not die. Rather i am thinking that as there is more and more use of bitcoins and other digital currencies, more people will come in gambling. Previously gambling was difficult as one have to use credit card to play online and most of the people mostly under age did not have credit cards. Now with bitcoin, the gambling ratio will also increase.
3567  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling with normal games on: January 29, 2019, 11:13:52 AM
I am still thinking of how someone will come up with a site on basketball ending game. The game is about the last digit of the team scores. Like example Golden State Warriors vs Oklahoma City Thunder score is 108 and 100. Winner is 8-0, if you picked that exact combination you win. I havent seen anyone trying that yet.


Aside from the ending score they can betting whos team gonna win and also they can bet whos star player of both team can make highest score. For example lebron james vs kobe bryant. lebron got score 49 and kobe got score 41 Who bet to lebron will won.

Exactly there are a lot of options for the gambling sports betting. I can give you example of cricket in which there is not only betting on end results but also on the scores in individual overs. For example you can bet how much the team score in first over and if it scores above or below that limit, you will win depending upon on which score you placed the bet.
3568  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: God of winning be with all the gamblers in 2019. on: January 27, 2019, 02:03:39 PM
There is not any god of winning. These things are made up by third world countries, have you seen movies where Africa is involved, they invent all kind of things, black magic and more which for me do not exist. Winning in gambling is almost an impossible task and in the long run you will lose your money, you should know this while playing and not fall a victim of it. You can't win against luck games normally.

God of winning is being used in the meaning of Luck. Since we can win in gambling only through our luck so if one has good luck he can really earn good form this. Also all the gamblers consider themselves lucky and with that mindset they come to play gambling. I never hear any gambler who say that he is unlucky and still trying his luck in gambling.
3569  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Has this year be favourable to you? on: January 27, 2019, 11:15:46 AM
Even though I think that it is not favourable to me but I have nothing to is to accept of it have now.  We need to move on and continue of what we work before, this is a unfinished business. I'm in losing but I still have chances to cover up those losses if I'll continue to work and not making my life miserable just for that(losses). 


Overall year this year (2018) was not good because bitcoin was in selling state all the time. We moved all the way down from 19K to 3000$. Saying of gambling, we spend btc which were greater in USD value and even if i won few good bets, my overall portfolio in terms of dollars has fallen.

I do not think if anyone have managed to earn much in 2018, because of bearish conditions.
3570  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: So I told my banker about bitcoin on: January 27, 2019, 05:03:21 AM
I think that the usual Fiat money will remain and will not go anywhere. But the use of cryptocurrencies will also increase in the future. So I believe that they will coexist together.

I think opposite of it. Fiat money has been there for a good amount of amount and now it is time to replace it with digital currencies. Remember the time when Barter system was replaced by fiat money. No one ever thought that these pieces of paper would be so much worthy. Similarly those who are thinking that Digital currency cannot be dominant do not want to change and bankers are the ones who dislikes the bitcoin the most, as it is direct threat to banking sector jobs.
3571  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin to $10 million? on: January 27, 2019, 04:48:57 AM
if it is possible to be $ 10 thousand, but if it becomes impossible for $ 10 million, you know for now there are too many negative predictions, even yesterday BCG digital ventures founder Jeff Schumacher said this year the bitcoin would touch the lowest price could even be zero (quote from CNBC), so are you still optimistic that this will happen?

Do not believe on CNBC or such news sources. They are mostly use to create fud and due to these fud bitcoin prices moves up and down.

For Bitcoin to be able to reach 10$ million dollar is very much possible. We already know that forex and stock markets are multi million dollar market and those markets were not built in a day. Similarly bitcoin market will be as big as those but just need some time.

3572  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What has changed? Is it moving forward? on: January 26, 2019, 03:21:42 PM
Hi All,

I have been in cryptocurrency since 2014 but last 3 years I took a break from it. I had high hopes how it can change the financial world.

I would like to get back into it but first I would like to find out what is cryptocurrency today.

Is it just a trading commodity, long term investment or is it (very very very) slowly replacing fiat. I know there are many companies and small shops that accept cryptocurrency but is that it? Is the problem still about the speed of a transaction

Please help me catch up a little Smiley




Cryptocurrency as you know it, hasn’t changed much. Yes, there have been advancements   and one of which is that it can be acquired with many means. The originally known means is via trading, then some other means too, but by being in this platform with us, the most common means is via ICO – initial coin offering.
Welcome back to the crypto world.


Technology is moving very fast in crypto currency. Compare the bitcoin transactions times and other new currencies which are relatively new and you will see the difference. Bitcoin only hides the person who is sending receiving the coins, while Privacy coins can only hide transactions themselves and you never know which address send to which address.
3573  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling with normal games on: January 26, 2019, 07:24:37 AM
We recently invented this rock, paper and scissor contest in office and bets are hillariously unreal like treating lunch, half of tbe bread, a service, couple of candies, rubber bands and ofcourse money. This is somehow our way to release stress. The person who will reach to five wins and the game starts with a tag.
Good for relieving stress and expressing your enjoyment, this type of gambling works as a social interactions with people who you love to be with, same thing with cards game playing with your friends while you are drinking some beers, it will bring strong bonds though there's no serious attachment with the amount of winnings but the enjoyment is really important with those normal games that you will play.

Its difficult to play gambling for fun only because our real money is involved in it. There can be a situation where one enter in gambling to enjoy only and if he loses, he will no more be in enjoyment phase.

Only those people who are very very rich and losing any amount of money does not matter much, those can enjoy gambling regardless of winning or losing. For a Common man, it is very much important to WIN in gambling to be remain happy. Smiley
3574  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: To save bitcoin - stop buying bitcoin cash on: January 26, 2019, 05:18:27 AM
This dump was triggered by the battle of the hashes. If we remove bch and bsv from having any value it would discourage more pointless bitcoin dilution, and prevent further hash wars.

Failure to act will cause more similar situations in the future
I agree with you, but in fact these coins have no future and I understand they were created only for the sake of the development team to make a profit. Bitcoin is one and it will never replace other coins even if they are more functional.


Many people do not realize this and especially the traders. They  (traders) think that to gain profit is their only target and no matter from which coin it comes. If you analysis that Bitcoin Cash has no true use case but since the Bitcoin cash has come it has always been at a high rank and high value and this is only because of the fact the big whales own this coin and they always keep it pump.
3575  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: WHY ANXIOUS ABOUT BITCOIN PRICE? on: January 25, 2019, 05:13:18 PM
i think he shouldn't sell at thi time. i think the price will higher in next month


Sorry to say but there is no grantee that price will be up in feburary. There was one hope that ETF will be approved on 27 Feb, that too is now gone as there will be no etf this year.
Many holders of bitcoin including the OP are really in fear as they think that bitcoin will fell even from 3000$ mark and it will be the star of very long bear market.
3576  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ever stopped or removed from casino on: January 23, 2019, 04:12:37 PM
Kindly share your experience if you ever being faced situation where either you where not allowed to enter the casinos due to either improper attire, age verification issue etc.  Also anytime till now have you being removed from the casinos? It could be due to any of reasons e.g - Misbehaving or fighting, getting high and creating ruckus, caught cheating etc.

Share your true experience if you ever had to face any such situations or related to it any incident that occurred with you.


I was travelling abroad and happen to visit casinos but i was in flip flops and as per the rules a proper attire was must. I was not being allowed inspite of me explaining I cam from abroad and will be leaving tonight and was not aware of such policy etc. But they where strict with the rules and I had to return back form their.



It happened to me only once. There are two casinos near my place so I was randomly the one of it for my gambling entertainment. After some losses, I decided to visit the other casino that was near me. But the age criteria was different there and you had to be older in order to enter the casino. Given that, I was stopped and they didn't let me in.

Not a fighting example that you maybe wanted to read but this was my case!

So what is your age by the way ?  If one casino did not allow you in while the other one did, it surely means that the one that let you in did not have any policy to check the age restrictions ?

Online gambling is good in this sense that you can even play gambling if you are under age as you are not physically present and hence you age cannot be checked online.
3577  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does this sound realistic? on: January 23, 2019, 04:01:03 PM
I get now the point of big gamblers, like me i'm not that into big stakes, and just this morning i placed bets on both side of the team not really thinking i just rely on the odds and the teams, i both placed bets on max stakes. just to know what it feels like to really gamble, i think that the point of gambling is to be ready if you'll lose or win, bacause it's gambling everybody wins everybody loses.

What is the point to bet on both teams? I mean you are losing with that in any result. You can only win if you do it in different betting websites where there is a variation of odds and probably you can arbitrage and make a profit. Apart from that, when you stake your bets a lot indeed you have a feeling of a big gambler and you can feel the stress and excitement at the same time.

If you bet on both the teams, you will lose in the End. The reason is that even if you will confirm win the one bet, the other win definitely be a loss. The Bet you lose will be a 100% loss while you will normally with certain percentage like 30%, 50% etc. Unless you win 200%, you will lose some money in this case.
3578  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: So I played again recently, i noticed something.. on: January 23, 2019, 03:49:46 PM
I assume you are from the Philippines and you are talking about the local gambling place called "perya". If I am correct about it, the house still have the advantage over their players, trust me I've tried it quite a few times already and noticed what you are pointing here but in the end they couldnt cheat you like what you are saying.

Yes mate. Im from the Philippines and yes we can say that they still couldnt cheat us because the dice and the ball can still move to different directions. Its not a 100% accurate but I can say that its a 75% more possibility than just making a hunch. Its effective for me, and still worth a try.

Well, no one can be sure if the house can cheat or not in the back end. But obviously the casino house favor the casino and not the players. I will suggest to go to trusted casino only as there you will have 75% of the chances that they support fair play.
3579  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to choose a good casino among the many others? on: January 23, 2019, 02:56:39 PM
I believe the best place for anyone is the place they feel at home. Gambling online is an intimate thing and if you are a frequent visitor of a website you get to know people. You know other gamblers there, you know the owners, you know the mods. Basically you create a space where you talk with other people. That is the way I have been selecting places I gamble.

I have been a frequent visitor of primedice for a long time and have been talking with "friends" there for a long time now and before that I had the same with just-dice. I just wish those places also had the capability of pm as well, that way we could send private messages between each other instead of trying to talk on the general chat which sometimes is too fast that you miss messages from people.
Same for me. There are alternatives but once you addicted to game or site it is hard to look for other places. Unfortunately gambling sites is not perfect to gamble like in real casinos because of issues like fairness,table limits and more.

Since online gambling is easily available many gamblers do not take headache to go outside in the casino and they prefer to play on their favorite site. It is not a bad idea because all online gambling sites are not scams. There may be issue with some new gambling sites but the old ones are still trusted one and they will always be fair with their customers.
3580  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which gambling sites offers investment on: January 23, 2019, 11:53:19 AM
I am very interested to know which gambling sites are offering investments, I research it but it seems like information is not updated.
Please put the terms like the percentage and whatever necessary information that I should know.

Why are you mixing gambling sites with the Investment ones ?

Gambling is totally different from the Investments and i am afraid 99% of the investments are fake and result in scams. Even if any gambling site ask investments for certain percentage of profits, i would suggest you to keep away from them.
