3701  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does card counting really work in Blackjack? on: August 06, 2019, 06:42:11 AM
It works somehow most especially if you are very keen into every details and if have a very good mind that can focus and not forget things because for me, card counting is very difficult because you have to remember your counting as well as the cards, I even tried it one time but got lost instead because instead of having focus I got distracted when counting thus, I can say it is not for me.
I believe we can do everything as long as we put our minds to it. If you say this isn’t for you then lets know which one belongs to you. Every gambling game requires focus if we really need to succeed and card counting is just one of such that if do not learnt to focus and avoid all forms of distraction; you might likely never get through.

I was once this way. I had issues with everything related to number and I had a very forgetful memory and this automatically disqualified me from card counting but one of the days, I told myself I would  and I can do it, I did and ever since I keep on improving, card counting is okay and it works in blackjack I must say.
3702  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: IEO's has cause more harm done good on: August 05, 2019, 06:35:25 PM
Well, one thing I strongly believe is that there is nothing with an advantage that doesn't have a disadvantage, we are know that IEO was introduced into the crypto sphere for a good reason, being that we had a lot of scammers in the ICO space making away with participants money everyday making them give up on crypto as a whole, I know that people don't really make their research about project anymore since they believe that the IEO is being conducted on trusted exchanges but I think it's a good thing that we are not being scammed anymore as we used to be, I believe something better would be introduced in the future to make users focus on studying what the project is about.

Quite simple. You just need to work and buy bitcoin with fiat.
That is the level for which you know dear, you don’t have to necessarily get fiat to have bitcoin, there are so many people who are working to earn bitcoin and does not need to convert the fiat to but bitcoin.

There are lots of companies and projects that you work with now and would rather prefer to pay you in bitcoin, look at blockchain developers, some of them get paid in cryptocurrency like bitcoin, it is now left to them to quickly convert it to fiat and store in their traditional bank or leave it in their wallet to continue to grow for future increase, that is if they are interested in keeping it as investment for future.

I have done so many jobs that I have been paid in bitcoin, which I have also paid others too in bitcoin without us having to make use of fiat again.
3704  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to Prevent been a crypto addict. on: August 05, 2019, 04:57:34 PM
In line with that statement, it doesn't matter to me if I will be addicted to crypto as long as I would be benefited despite of being addicted. Being driven out by cryptocurrency, our addiction isn't associated to health problems but rather problems is how you handle your funds when you became wealthy in the end.


This is the real opposite of gambling addiction. If you are an addict gambler, you will more tend to lose money unlike a crypto addict which focuses more on how to earn rather than how to spend by a mere entertainment. If i could choose an addiction, i would choose the first option too.
It is not even possible to me that someone will get addicted to cryptocurrency because there is nothing to get addicted to there, if op is glued to his trading platform, or glued to seeking information on the system, he is only dancing himself through that and I see nothing absolutely addictive about that.

It is only a game or any habit that I know people keep getting addicted to, and when it comes to habit, you just have to replace the habit with a good one, but in the case of op, he is just trying to make a living for himself and I would not say e is addicted, when even trading on trading platform manually, you have to stay with the system for a very long time till you probably succeed or loose on what you are doing. I guess by now, op would have already become guru to stay less on the system.

Did anyone get chances to verify the license of this house? I do see only signature but there is no seal or any other authority emblem. I could not remember how it usually look like. It is rare that gambling houses are sharing their license but battlebit is sharing hence we should make use of it by verifying in all possible means.

Unfortunately for players you are on the Curacao license scam 1668/JAZ, 365/JAZ, 5536/JAZ and 8048/JAZ list!
I checked twice there is no battlebit.io is listed in the given page. Posted this with the plan of adding the site but then forgot to include ?
3706  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why I don’t share Strategies anymore? on: August 05, 2019, 02:33:06 PM
People would always look for ways in order to make their lives easier and manageable. In some ways, they even go to the depths of knowing all the possible remedies to a situation just to rationalize their unfortunate situation. In gambling, most people would seek for the right strategy, decision, and mindset before they bet their money but they easily forget one integral factor: LUCK.

Luck is something that cannot be controlled, nor accurately predicted. There may be situations wherein we predict the outcome of a situation based on multiple factors and probabilities but if the odds are against your favour then everything would be put to waste.

Gambling is a method where almost everything revolves around luck. Others may win large sums of money but some lose a portion of their lifesavings.
Yes. So, what’s the point insisting on not sharing a strategy for a game that would still end players depending on luck. I consider it rather dumb. The truth is giving out his strategy would not even assure the player of winning, profiting in gambling is just by luck, and really players only seek for ways to make games simple to play, so giving out any possible solution is not a bad idea at all.

I am not the strategy kind of player. I have spent at least 8 years in gambling and I can say that there’s no back door to winning in gambling, for those who believe there is, maybe it worked for them but for me, then only right gambling method is to play like a baby, which  means to play with an open heart.
3707  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What You Should Know Before Playing A Crypto Betting Game on: August 05, 2019, 10:44:50 AM
Like what @boyptc suggest, next time choose only the legit gambling site and have reputable to play gambling, so he doesn't have a problem.
There were countless times that complain like this has been existing. That's the best suggestion that I can ever give to them.

Probably they weren't aware of what are those legit casino's and long running that they can trust. And if there's a casino that pops upon googling it, they are visiting and trying it not knowing that it's a fake.
I am very sure most of the players that get scammed understand all this, they know deep down that the site could be illegal but the desire to make money covers their sense of thinking. The reason I know this is my gambling friend shared his experience with me on how he got scammed and in his words, the site was suspicious but the offers were too good to be true so he decided to take the risk  and that was how he lost so much money.

If confused if one is confused on the site to pick, there are a lot of them on this forum and also reviews are available to clear the air on the reputation status. Scammed players are always the greedy, unintelligent and lazy players.
3708  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Maximum bet amount on single bet! on: August 05, 2019, 07:37:05 AM
I think this forum has lot of regular gambler so I am interested to know how much they ever spend as highest bet amount in very single bet.


I remember betting a $100 on a game way back in 2015. Maybe this is a little amount compared to those who are an avid fan of gambling but its the most i can place on a single bet. Its just so happen that i won several times and already won big so this money was my last bet before i go home. I win after. Smiley
$50 is the largest amount I do limit and will always spend in playing. This does not mean that I do no have cash to play but there are better things the money can go into and moreover, I believe its not about the amount but about the skills in playing. I could play with $50 and win back almost same amount while another player plays with 1 BTC and loses it all. At the end of the game, it is the player that play with little money and wins back that would be considered a winner; this is where wisdom is very important in gambling.

About last month I remember betting on a soccer site with about $40, it was really small compared to the caliber of players I met, but my joy was that I won back  double of my money and I have no regrets.
3709  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can the blockchain tech be used to prevent counterfeiting of physical cash? on: August 05, 2019, 06:27:49 AM
I was just having my cup of tea and watching the ongoing Ashes series... a strange thought came to my mind.

All of us know that one of the main advantage with Bitcoin is that it can't be counterfeited. On the other hand, counterfeiting is a major issue with fiat cash.
According to some estimates, the sale of counterfeits and pirated goods are worth $1,700 billion per year, and the sale of counterfeited banknotes is worth $250 billion.

Is it possible to use this technology to prevent the counterfeiting of bank notes? Don't tell me to install microchips on all the banknotes. We need to keep the manufacturing cost below $0.10 per piece. I thought about it for 2 hours, but no practical solution came to my mind. Do you guys have any suggestions?
That is absolutely right, since bitcoin is not controlled by anyone, it cannot be duplicated, the only crime that can ever occur is for people to steal bitcoin from people to make transactions and that will be problem from the owner. This aspect is one direction that government needs to look into, with bitcoin, it will be absolutely impossible for any issue of counterfeit to ever arise, but it will still be quite impossible because Fiat can never be phased out, as long as we have fiat in existence, there will always be this issue.

The only way people can have access to bitcoin right now is still to use some fiat to buy it and as long as money is being printed, they can still use the counterfeit fiat to buy bitcoin, except maybe government is really to change the entire currency into bitcoin without ever printing cash again.
3710  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Trump’s Ex Advisor Steve Bannon Says Cryptocurrencies Have a Big Future’ on: August 04, 2019, 02:26:42 PM
Well!! After the president trump's critical comment about cryptocurrency, steven Bannon trump's ex-advisor says that cryptocurrencies have a big future and revealed his interest towards for Bitcoin (BTC), seeing it as part of a “global populist revolt”.

What's your take on this?
First, don’t forget that Trump is a business man, and secondly, don’t forget that the whales know how to play game well. First, trump will never declare any of his interest in Bitcoin, secondly, trump is too influential to create panic sell in other to enable him and his friends make investment and then they organize second team that would create Fomo news that would make the price increase for them to make profit.

Better you just stay in your own lane and don’t follow these dirty business men and politicians play their game. It been a while that bitcoin has been on,, and trump never mentioned a thing about it all through is four years, and when the hype was even high in 2017, he never said anything, no he created FUD, then we are seeing another news to counter it still from same group. Don’t you see some business game?
3711  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which is better Government run Lottery or private run Lottery on: August 02, 2019, 07:40:02 PM
I would still prefer the Government to control lottery. I think we've had enough privatizations in the last few decades and we already know the consequences. The ban has been lifted already by the way.
Maybe you should give better reasons why you want it handled by the government aside sentiments because for me, I feel this lottery projects are better handled by private considering the rate of corruption in the government sector, I think even before now, lotteries have always been handled by private sectors and it was well taken care of,  I think those times it was referred to as Numbers, not so sure but was controlled by gangs. One challenge then was with the fact it was been ran by related gang influence.

Government then decided to take over considering the money that could be generated , but then they should also understand that this is two sided, in as much there is a lot of money collected from tax, there is also money going into rehabilitation and prevention of addiction by gamblers. For me, it’s still better this is left in the hand of private .
3712  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What You Should Know Before Playing A Crypto Betting Game on: August 02, 2019, 06:44:31 PM
A provably fair crypto betting game would have it's code on Github i.e. open-sourced. That way a developer can easily confirm the authenticity of the claims. Another way would be to use a provably fair tool to check. These tools can be found online.

A friend lost a chunk of his crypto investments to a scammer that claimed his game was provably fair. The owner of the website waited till the website was popular, to accrue more victims. Then he simply closed the website and vanished with thousands of dollars belong to people.

Don't play because others are winning!
What we could do if an open source based gambling house starts scamming after years of maintaining reputation? I mean we do start trusting a new services only because of our known persons are not facing any problem with that services. I am not sure about most other people here but this is the simple way, I do start using any new services.

At the same time, no one could do anything about a business which turns scam at all of sudden. It should be treated as an accident as we could do nothing about that. Be warned anything and anyone may scam you at any time. Hence, just risk at your affordable level. No other way we have Cool.
3713  Economy / Gambling / Re: Asianconnect88 - premiere sports betting brokerage (official Thread) on: July 30, 2019, 05:56:27 PM
https://www.asianconnect88.com/

they are the best broker that I have found so far and they accept bitcoin deposits and withdrawals with no fees unlike the other brokers that I tried
overall they are the most trusted broker in the whole market

and since there is no referral link I will assume this is indeed the official rep so welcome to the forum AC
Today we got another house entered into bitcointalk and now this one Cheesy.  Bitcoin gambling goes into limelight slowly or this forum is gaining popularity among gambling houses after sportsbet.io is sponsoring some famous team's jersey ?

It would be too good to have official topics on bitcointalk from a gambler's perspective to get support on issues. Lets see how actively these houses will be maintaining support here to grow their business among our forum members.
3714  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Maximum bet amount on single bet! on: July 30, 2019, 04:59:11 PM
I think this forum has lot of regular gambler so I am interested to know how much they ever spend as highest bet amount in very single bet.
I guess all the gambling sites are having facility to view high rollers. You may check there for instant statistics. I am a regular gambler but making use of only freebies. This is just my resolution for not getting addicted. Many people do claim that faucets or other giveaways are just the baits to make us getting used to gambling but I believe if we are strong in our will power then gambling only with faucets will be possible and cheapest way of experiencing the gambling thriller.

I guess there would be more number of gambler like myself and expecting high betting from them may disappoint you after some period of waiting Cool.
3715  Economy / Gambling / Re: BetKing.io is a blatant scam operated by Dean Nolan on: July 30, 2019, 03:29:03 PM
I think issue with telling everyone betking and dean is a scam is that it has been said so many times now. Nobody claims that ICO was a good deal, they literally ripped people off from it, the investors lost because of Dean and there are tons of other reasons that Dean basically stole money from people, it was literally stealing, he is a thief.

However, for how long can you call someone a thief and a scammer and just keep going like that? He still has his casino, he still runs it, the casino itself is not that great and not doing so well but at least it is still running and nothing changed for him.

Maybe if you stop then casino will get bigger again and he will steal from people again so maybe keep doing this might help people be more aware about the situation but I think if that is not the case then you can call someone a scammer for so long, what could you possible gain from calling him scam for years? Nothing will change, he scammed and he stole and he got away with it, either we should start a legal proceeding as well or I am not going to be part of it anymore because it got boring to just know that he is a bad person and stole money but still living free doing whatever he wants.
3716  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: if you want to win big...accept defeat on: July 30, 2019, 02:42:36 PM
We will not be needing to accept defeat if we knew how to limit our selves before playing

We knew how tempting gambling is special when we are sitting at the table we can out of control and may lose much of our money
We do not need to accept the defeat while gambling but we will be enforced to do so. Because, gambling is working in that way.
Setting limit and then breaching the limits are usual daily routines for almost all the gamblers. If you are discipline enough then you would have quit gambling on your first big loss itself. Only due to lack of discipline, most gamblers are still continuing their gambling and they may keep on trying until they may go bankrupted.

But if we knew how to put enough amount in every time we play so the less of chance to spend more money is indeed,and this is how a responsible gamblers do
Responsible gamblers ? Do they really exist ? I doubt indeed. People may chose gambling for what ever reasons but they stick within gambling only due to be irresponsible.
3717  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 Pro Kabaddi League Discussion and updates on: July 30, 2019, 01:39:32 PM
I am betting only on onehash and I am not seeing pro kabaddi being listed there.
Where you people are betting for pro kabbadi other than 1xbet ? Please suggest me the site with better odds.
Is there any tipser on this forum for predicting kabbadi matches with more than 50% accuracy ?

I am just a new enthusiast in kabbadi games after knowing its traditional background, I am just focusing on learning it in more depth and betting on them will definitely help me to watch matches more keenly because this is the way I have learned cricket just 2 years back and now I am capable of predicting cricket matches even my country is not having a team to represent us.
3718  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Operating Online Casino -- Need License? on: July 30, 2019, 11:42:12 AM
if I made a website tomorrow, could I legally run/operate it and accept deposits?
You may operate but attracting deposits would be a big problem. Even in crypto space now a days, people look for registered companies so that they may chase down the owners on the occurrence of sudden shutdown of a  business. That must be a good practice for staying/beginning safer.

You cannot think about operating a fiat casino but now in crypto world too people start looking for possible things for ensuring their safer environments.
3719  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why I don’t share Strategies anymore? on: July 30, 2019, 07:40:45 AM
Analytically speaking sharing strategy may be made annoyed by those who followed without even studying the given strategies.
I do view the practice of sharing new strategies for any gambling type (i.e. both skill based and luck based) like making use of gamblers as test rats. The providers do use their time, efforts and different gambling environment to test a new thing. They will lose nothing but will gain some statistical study from the results shared. I read ranking sites are doing this type of thing in the name of "new proven gambling strategy to recover all your losses in 2 weeks of time frame" or something similar to that.

A responsible gambler will try new strategies with free credits but the gamblers who are in pressure to recover their losses, might risk with their actual bankroll.
