Now that you mention it, I remember a few platforms that are actually similar to what you're describing. Cheap script, no provably-fair system, and a very basic ANN thread wherein the main handle of the gambling platform here at bitcointalk can't even buy a copper membership to do a proper ANN thread. There are a lot of missing details here on this platform to be up to par with the current standards, most especially the website design and the lack of ways for gamblers to prove if the session is legit or not. Hopefully this site improves, but even if it does, I honestly don't think a lot of people will catch up to the nature of the game they're trying to promote.

I may have lost the Aster ML but I won the over 2.5 maps. Overall I just watched the series and there are a lot of things that Team Spirit did well on this match-up, specially on game 3. Clutch silences on Monet's Troll Warlord is, IMO, what cost the game for Aster. Team Spirit's use of utility is top notch, and Collapse's positioning as Mars is as good as it can get on this game. They literally provided no opening for Aster on the 3rd game whatsoever, and even though I lost my bet, I had fun watching these two teams battling it out.

Up next is PSG.LGD vs Team Spirit. We all have our biases on this finals because of the two team's previous performances. Also, this is the last series before we head on to the Internationals season, so better get your bets lined up!

Well, doge is created as a meme coin with little to no utility in mind. It was also said by its creator, and even he believed that dogecoin shouldn't be worth as much. It only revived because Elon took notice of the meme and shilled the hell out of this coin. Had it not been for this dude, doge would still be buried amongst the sea of dead alts that tried its best to get noticed but failed badly.

Imagine the countless other people bagholding alts wishing to get the the same treatment doge received. It's a one in a million chance that does not happen often.

This only matters to the day traders and those who have a huge stake in bitcoin and crypto, but not so much for the regular folks like us who just invested into bitcoin and kinda forget about it on our day-to-day lives since we have other jobs and hustles to do in order to make money. If bulk of your finances depend on crypto, perhaps you'll always be thinking what kind of trading strategy would you be doing every day. It is a different scenario when you're only investing in hopes of getting huge profits in the future, and no plans of going full time into crypto.

Rooting for Aster this series because I believe that the match will be more hyped if Ame and Monet encounter each other in the grand finals. They have been rivals a few years back for gaining that top carry spot in the Chinese Dota Scene. Both players are mechanically gifted, and their talents are only limited by their teammates. If you have teammates like xinqiu and y` doing a lot of work to make your game a lot easier, you'll stand out as a carry because your farm is not hindered and you can respond to fights well because you have the tools needed to make things work. Boboka is stepping up his 4 position game on a lot of pubs and we're seeing it on Arlington major. If he plays his A-game and be a nuisance to Ame and y`, they'll have a huge chance in gaining the upper hand since Monet likes to have sustainable carries that can be left alone and still get the cs he needs.

Going for a safe over 2.5 Aster vs Team Spirit but I'm liking the chances of Aster in this match up.

I understand that this is only a lottery website, but we could use a better design for the front page of the platform. Not something flashy or anything, but something that is easy on the eye and not black and green. A change in the color scheme would take this platform to another level, but I guess that's just me.

I just placed a ticket on 'the 100' and everything went well. I'm just not sure how am I going to know if I win or not. There should be a dedicated page for the 100 and the 1v1 lottery so that it's easier for the players to keep track of their bets.


According to their guide, 100 credits = $1. So, that is $0.20 - $0.40 when converted.


They are. If the 1v1 game is filled with 2 tickets, you cannot buy any more tickets on that game. You'll see that indicated below the words "1 vs 1".

Same thing for 'the 100.' If 100 tickets were already bought in that session, you can no longer buy tickets for it and would wait until the session ends. A lottery session starts every 5 minutes as per their guide.


Most probably it is already filled with 2 tickets, hence why you can no longer buy anything for the session.


True. It would be best if everything will be explain in detail. I spent a good 5 minutes of reading the whole thing over and over before I understood the mechanics of the game. For 1v1, it's like a glorified dice game that takes longer time to complete. For the 100, well, it's just a bunch of people trying to get the pot for themselves with their tickets.

I'm a very frugal person who has his expenses sorted out weeks before receiving my salary. I started as a dude who waits tables for a part-time job while studying for my degree. My salary is way less than you, and I am still somewhat lucky since back then I'm still living on my parents' house. The bulk of my salary goes to my tuition and school expenses, and I always have $5-$10 change on that salary and promptly kept that. I intentionally avoid going out with friends even though I wanted to and perhaps that saved me a ton of money in college.

Fast forward to now, I always keep in mind that I only have X amount of salary that I'll be receiving every paycheck, even though I actually am receiving way more than that. It stuck on me and just kept on saving and saving and ignored the temptation to spend a lot of money in one go even if I can do that. I still have my iPhone 4s in 2021 that I bought on 2013, and switched to an iPhone 11 that my workmate sold to me at a loss due to an emergency. If only the emails and the internet is working fine on that phone, I would still keep it and not buy the iPhone 11 my workmate offered me.

Mindset is also really important if you want to grow your finances. A lot of us tend to start being frugal and stop mid way when we don't see results immediately. Just keep on saving and ignore the temptation around you. It'll reward you handsomely when the time comes.

Well both sides obviously got what they wanted on that match-up even if the whole bout is Campa just running around trying to evade Lopez's aggression. Put me in the ring with a fighter more determined and hungrier than I am and I'd still play ball if the price is right. That's what happened here obviously and ain't nothing wrong with that. Both fighters still gave their best on that bout and that's what matters.

For Teo Lopez, hopefully he gets a rematch against Kambosos. That's a close fight between the two of them and obviously shows that Teo has something in him to defeat the Australian boxer either through decision or through a knockout.

This picture can represent anything IMO. The pic on the left may seem like the brain is having increased activity while the one on the right isn't. I've watched a documentary somewhere that tackles about how the brain can emulate the brain activity of an addicted person during sleep. It's crazy that we know so much about how an addict's brain works, but not enough to discern why it is somehow similar to the brain activity of a person who's sleeping. All we know is, once the brain created new connections and created a new source of 'pleasure', it's difficult to undo those.

The Chinese government does not echo the sentiments of its people. They are known to heavily censor their people and go against what their people are really thinking. A lot of Chinese are into crypto even though the Chinese government itself doesn't want anything to do with it. They want to control their people in a lot of aspects as much as possible, and cryptocurrencies are obviously against that ideal of them. Japan, on the other hand, can make use of their ever-growing technological arsenal to accommodate this possible crypto adoption of theirs.

This is still a thing, although not as big as it used to be.


No one way to know that. Most of the bitcoin addresses that you see that doesn't have its contents moved for a long time can easily be assumed as an 'early adopter' wallet, although there are also a good number of those untouched addresses that may no longer be accessible. You can always get a good guesstimate, but unless one such whale confirms that he/she is still active and still is a whale at this point, you will never know who are the ones that are still around.

These are still the biggest in the simple sense of the word. I'm sure these guys already lost a pretty penny on these games before hitting the one time, big time jackpot of their lives with only a little $$ at stake. But that doesn't matter if we're looking at these figures as-is. They are still huge at their own merit and difficult to top any time soon. Even I am wondering when will I be able to hit such huge jackpots with just a small amount of bet. Tried doing this through parlay but a lot of times I'm just left with an 'almost' winning ticket with a leg or two losing.

I usually avoid the early tournaments of the season after teams have just came off of rest. A lot of them are pretty rusty on the aim and are still not in the zone. Their adjustment time is pretty short though, and after the initial tournament you can now see these teams in form. That game with Faze is really heartbreaking, but I kinda have to give it to Tricked because they also played well. Faze just needs to grind and grind for weeks and they'd be back on top 1 form in no time.

For Arlington Major, I'm inclined to pick Aster over Team Spirit seeing how dominating Aster was against OG, and how PSG.LGD dumpstered Team Spirit on their last match up before the finals. I'm not expecting anything big from Team Spirit given how well Aster is playing, and this could be another Chinese vs Chinese final before we head off to the International.

Pretty sure that this possibility has already been explored before the streamer and the platform agree on the contract. The goal of the streamer is to entertain and possibly, attract people to play. How would they do that if they aren't winning on the platform? Surely the casino owners also have a say on how the wins will happen, and that is where the magic happens on the platform. Doesn't matter if everything is sponsored or not. Streamer and platform already had it locked before the streamer even goes live.

I am amazed on how daring the campaign participants are tbh. They know that they are dealing with a shady platform and they still went for it head-first, especially those accounts that doesn't have a negative trust rating before they joined this campaign. Still, it's surprising that 1xbit managed to pay these users promptly and accordingly every week, even with the high rates of the campaign back then. Also, it's surprising that they aren't paid on their 1xbit account because that will surely make things worse for the members of the campaign.

I'm actually impressed by their support's solid rotation. Also, TORONTOTOKYO no longer hogs the midlane for a long time and is actually going around the map more often, and chooses heroes that have low cooldown and high mobility to be always active on the fights. With this small adjustments Team Spirit made, they may have a chance to pierce against the seemingly invulnerable PSG.LGD defenses. They just have to pick the right heroes to do the job.

It's amazing how China, one of the countries with highest debts, is able to lend out unimaginable amounts to other small countries with exorbitant interests. The US seem to 'condemn' China's ways, but still wants to bail it on its enormous debt when the time comes. I guess there is no turning back to this massive bubble that the Chinese created and directed upon themselves. This kind of tactic to grow the economy can only go so far.  Once the bubble pops, the whole world will certainly be affected, and we will experience yet another shaky future ahead of us.

Knowing that the Chinese government is very secretive when it comes to imperfections and negatives in its country, I wonder how bad the situation really is?

And that to me is a very intrusive KYC method. Imagine having to go through the hassle of taking a selfie with a newspaper on one hand and your ID on another. How does Cloudbet want this verification to proceed?  Do they think people have more than two hands to accomplish this?  Anyway, I'd be wary of doing this verification near my place. They may have my address on file, but that doesn't mean that I am presently and physically there at all times. Better take the selfie near huge establishments.

Beastcoast is in a rough spot that's for sure. They're up against a team that is relatively miles ahead of them, though they are still quite a team that can perform against the greats and still has a huge chance to come out on top. Rooting for OG to win the series but over 2.5 maps isn't really a bad bet at all.

As for PSG.LGD, well they have always been that OP team from each tournament that dominates other teams, until they get outplayed and outskilled by a random team on the most prestigious tournament.

Crypto mixers are always at the mercy of law enforcement agencies.

The fact that your service can literally help criminals launder their money even without your knowledge is what the law enforcement uses as a justification of their actions against mixers. They don't need to get even the slightest bit of evidence that the mixing service is catering money launderers, they just have to have 'reasonable suspicions' to raise the alarms and perform their "duty."
