I keep seeing news like this and I keep just wondering why the heck people keep doing this,,, it is like, if you had money would you ever put it into something random that you cannot verify yourself?

This makes me think the whole ICO crowd never really left and just were waiting for another rally:)

Wondering the same myself and now that I am asking,,, is there a best place to see confirmed lineup and who travelled? I made some picks already and I checked every site but now see I still managed to pick people who are not even playing.

Very hard to make early bets and all these games start after it is midnight my time,,, very very difficult betting.

I did wonder yesterday if this was about 2.0,,, and from the main headlines you can see actually there are conflicting reports. Some say that today is the last day for staking ETH by the deadline proposed by devs, and supposedly it will not reach that target. That is bad news that will delay further 2.0. But other sites say this means 2.0 is coming sooner than expected so that is driving the rally. What happens when all that ETH gets unstaked I wonder?

Imagine what it must have been like for the very first users of Freebitco maybe in 2015 even before Bitcoin became 1k. Getting thousands of satoshi for every claim and keeping it there for interest or maybe even redeeming the freeroll reward points for all the satoshis;)

Those days are gone but we are happy in any case right?

Surprises not really but when things like this happen we treat it more with suspicion than surprise,,, at least that is how I see it in my case;) Suppose there is just too many XRP investors out there with hundreds of thousands of tokens just sitting on exchanges and waiting for it to bullrun

You can also go into Fairlay.com (bitcoin p2p marketplace for betting and predictions) and just set your own lines as you wish, with your own odds,,, following that, and then you can just update OP and see if people will take your bet maybe? You can also share it in chat;)

I do not know myself how to do it a bit complicated for me but the support euser in the official bct thread can help.

Wow,,, just managed to check a few hours ago after overnight in Asia that Ethereum just went on to hit $610++ I guess now everybody wants it to hit half of the current ATH at $1400 which means $700 is going to be the target.

Is this really just all about ETH 2.0?

Nice to see all the technical indicators coming together but yes,,, I think the market is heating up a bit too crazily right now so the correction that is for sure coming will be quite painful for a lot of people. I guess most smart traders are now taking profit while holders like us just do nothing and wait. Massacre, then bull run.

I never really knew Argentina was big on gambling, but I guess every country that does not really tax it highly will eventually get a lot of black market activity;) This will also be good news for crypto possibly, if Argentinians are tired of their peso losing value at the casino;) Everything is coming together!

Never check with traders,,, most of them never share the full picture, they tell you some trades and do not even tell you the precise exit and entry points. They even will not share the risk they are taking. Always do your own decisions and then base the trades on that.

Traders lose money, the majority of them. You will likely also. Buy to hold, maybe, speculate with tight timeframes and stops. And emotions, ah,,, try to learn to lose them:)

I would go for Crystal Palace and Southampton. Burnley are closer to bottom of the table, yes they have 1 less game to play but they show they are not in great form at all this season compared to last. They are the favorites because they are home,,, Palace wins have also almost not really been expected this season. Then again, neither are Southampton after their initial losses:)

I have to admit, I really did not see this coming in 2020. Breaking the highs from over 2 years now, and ETH 2.0 is staking at Phase 0 with it expected to fill out by tomorrow even,,, I guess enthusiasm is high for the world's most loved smart contract platform.

Just prepare for the eventual correction my friends.

I respect all sportsbooks that have stayed around for years and as OP points out,,, every bookie has their pros and cons. For me the most important no matter what else is Customer Support. Everyone knows that at some point, we will face an issue with our accounts or our gaming. Maybe a glitch. Or a lost account. Or a mistaken deposit. This is when the real test happens, how helpful Customer Support is and how nice they treat you.

So in this case, I can only speak of very few sites because I cannot really say until I have my own experience.

I would be happy to have none of them return again but I guess this will be too much to hope for;) All those scammers and fake projects who ran in 2017 and 2018 will surely be returning once more to look for new victims, and since we all know most people new to crypto are greedy,,, we also know that these guys will be coming back for more. Alt season coming again I guess!

I do not think it is about Bitcoin price (wager amounts),,, yes for sure overall there is a a difference from very early days of Bitcoin till the last few years but you can see at other places the volume in Bitcoin denomination has not changed. I actually know people who gamble more when price is up, since they can "win" more. Maybe there should be studies put into it;)


This probably makes it more secure but more risky for you to lose then, sort of like private keys! I store my 2fa key as a code somewhere like with all my passwords. They are manually coded in local language plus English:) So if someone "hacks" it I know it has to be from my country,,,

Nice one buwaytress,,, I saw also that it was your pick of the day on your prediction thread so you won that one with some toughness. The penalty was a gift, but it was well deserved to Monaco and probably now people will say they are finally ready to take on PSG in the French league again to stop the current oil money team dominance!

Personally, of course I feel happy to see all of these statistics but the main problem for me is that even since 2017,,, most of these statistics are derived from speculators and gamblers. Back then it was ICOs and gaming apps. Today, it is all mainly Defi apps. And in principle there is nothing wrong with Defi but the way it is now, we all have to admit, 95% of them are just gambling/speculating.

The real utility is still in Bitcoin:)

As a Spurs fan,,, I would never dare to say this publicly. Every time my friends tell me my team looks good and we might achieve something, I just shrug it off and say "wait, let us see".

Of course, my bet is with Spurs on this one. And we have what it takes to beat City, if we can disrupt their midfield, our strikers are capable of finishing off their defence.

At the end of the day, as a bounty participant, you have to trust the project. For me,,, as long as the project appoints someone external or independent this is fine it does not need to be escrowed.

I will tell you I had even 1 experience with an escrower well respected and they turned out to be allied with a bad project that lost us all funds.

On the other hand, I have been supporting now for a long time a casino that does not escrow funds at all, but has paid faithfully for our work.

So nothing guarantees anything is what I am saying:)

I should add here that Sportsbet is already planning several big activities this coming weeks, starting with something they call Black Friday Bitcoin drop. Every casino I ever visit also has normal Christmas activities but usually always on US timezone which means I am asleep, or working (I always work public holidays for extra pay;).

We all need to celebrate 2020 do we not?
