@boltz me too:) I actually see in the news now it is so common for players to get either injured or corona,,, so every England game even friendlies I am just hoping Harry Kane is ok, and same for Son in South Korea. We have many other players from Spurs obviously, but my worry is always for those two because we rely so much on them.
@BlackFor3st Spurs have almost no width;) Especially when 2 seasons ago we absolutely brought in no new face. I think very much these days teams are built as mirrors of their coaches. I liked how we look like under Poch, not so much under Mou, but in the end results brings fans together so I hope this can be our season;)

No one is against control, but public asset/system/network has to run publicly and not privately. A public system has to be decentralized, transparent, open, with accountability, be immutable (my post on immutablity below👇), adhere to just national laws/principles, respect people's privacy, etc.. I believe it should illegal/immoral for public system, network or assets to be run privately like many are run today. This is can encourage corruption, lawlessness, no checks and balances etc. Even private companies that serve the public should be considered Public companies founded and managed by individuals or group of people but subjected to Just national laws/principles like those listed above 👆
Some of us are against control and of course if it is a CBDC you expect the state to be in control, but in a transparent way as you say. Like blockchain,,, it should have a block explorer,,, and a naming of all the controllers (or nodes), so people know who is validating and who is managing channels. But not all CBDCs will choose blockchain and even those who did like Venezuela did not make an accountable system and printed tokens anyway. I think euro CBDC will be the closest to adhere, but then, so many people have interest and benefits to lose with accountability

I was taking a look at this site, this section caught my attention. Usually you don't see these virtual games. Has anyone tried these yet? I myself have little understanding of those games to bet on, but Mortal Kombat used to be cool!
I played at such sites a few times before. If I am not mistaken,,, these are actually just computer versus computer, using random characters and random abilities. The odds are calculated on the "AI" of the computers but basically everybody betting just chooses one or the other, and then the winners share the losses of the other. Fun for a while but sometimes watching the AI play is so frustrating, it is pure gambling to me, you cannot count of win stats;)

Altcoins on track thanks to Bitcoin as usual. If this is 2017 repeat, then it means we will see Bitcoin continue to go strong, and then fall back, before finally going on a super push. This should happen in 6 months if 2017 patterns are observed,,, and that means altcoins should rally even bigger.
But not sure if this is repeat or new kind of bullrun. I think new kind is more likely.

The lesson for alts is always to sell, from a bounty hunter perspective anyway,,, which is the entire reason ICOs failed and will be the entire reason Defi will eventually fail (outside of REAL defi).
Ask me about coins I hodled until today and they are still not even 10% of ATH even with the rally hehe;)

I have chosen to go with a 3 team parlay; Netherlands, Italy and Belgium to ML @5.2+ Odds.
Netherlands with the early scare to my betslip, they went behind just after 6 minutes played and trailed for the most part of the entire match just to turn things around with 13 minutes left to play ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) That's a nice way to end the international break for me. Let's get back to club side football as usual ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Nice one. I did a parlay from a freebet of Sportsbet on Albania + Turkey at 4.2 odds,,, I thought if Turkey can beat Russia surely they can beat Hungary but as usual football proves me wrong:) And finally, now people we can leave internationals and focus on the football we all prefer at the clubs;)

Actually,,, I believe Charlie Lee himself always used to refer to Litecoin as the cousin or little brother of Bitcoin. The developers are friendly with each other and it was never a mean spirited competition. LTC is still so similar to BTC it provides the perfect testing ground for segwit and atomic swaps and all that jazz;) $256? Why not $500? ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Forget about the reward points unless you have a farm of referrals. It takes way too long to reach 100k RP. Too much work, not enough reward. If bitcoin keeps climbing like that soon people be having 1 sat per claim and who knows what'll happen if btc keeps climbing after that. I guess then they will seriously consider moving to LN maybe... (shutting down the faucet is an option too)
The problem is, people should not be gambling for the bonuses and the rewards in the first place;) OR if they are,,, they should be going for something that gives them positive advantage (which is not what this site gives for 5% house edge). Even with all the lotteries and RPs etc, we all know it is not to get to zero HE but that is ok. I am ok with 1 sat per claim. It does not change the value of the Bitcoin. Fees can be solved later with LN as you say:)

I am a long term supporter of Ethereum and know that it is the most trusted network to create smart contracts but the kind of Huge fees for withdrawal and swapping of tokens, we have to nowadays due to slow network or congestion , is going to make it unpopular coin in coming months and other networks like, Binance, EOS, Polka Dot may take its place . The issue with Ethereum is that its developers are trying to scale running Blockchain which is like repairing a car while driving.
Only recently I converted to ETH but not as a supporter or believer or whatever,,, but as a recognizer that they are finally doing something right and I do think they are undervalued in price because the demand and utility is surely there. ETH 2.0 Vitalik just said this week is coming sooner than expected (but he could be wrong) and that should solve the fee issues that causes price to be low.

Yes, we tend to target people that are already familiar with the ethereum ecosystem, and don't target BTC betting people as ethereum has a higher learning curve. Most people just want to bet with what they are familiar with, BTC, and not learn a new process which totally makes sense.
Give it a few years, and I suspect most bettors will be betting on non custodial smart contract platforms based on ethereum or a competing blockchain, none of which will require KYC.
Thank you for the response. I actually think Ethereum was easier for me to learn than Bitcoin (but that is because I tried using a real client wallet and not custodial). With Bitcoin wallets in the beginning, you have to calculate your own mining fees and you had to choose the inputs and all that. When I first used Metamask it was very easy,,, enter password, choose spend, choose fast/medium/slow fee. But I get that what you are talking about because smart contracts are a bit different. Problem with ETH as you say later is fees. Tx fees are already possibly a few dollars now since March so that is very painful for a sportsbetting person:)

Not Uniswap user so no interest in UNI but now you are saying that the first purpose for UNI was for yield farming,,, but from all the news I read out there about the airdrop, was it not supposed to be a governance token?
And now you can farm with it? I do not know about you guys but this sounds real weird to me:)

"an all time Löw" for the bundesteam It would have been even better if it was something more meaningful than the Nations League, but still...quite embarrassing result for a team like Germany. I had a little something going on for this game, didn't expect to be that easy, but i will take it, Ferran Torres absolutely killing it tonight! Very nice bet and well done! I agree with you, even for a Nations League game with not very meaningful competition, this was a super embarassing defeat that you cannot defend. The lineup was strong enough to win the game, it does not matter. If they say they had nothing to fight for, then they admit they do not have a good mentality. Totally unexpected, but again a team shows Germany they cannot just sit on their thrones and expect everybody to let them win.

In the olden days there are a lot of coins that you can stake without sending them to other wallets one example of this which I stake and made good profit was Chesscoin, but since the creation of the smart token, developrs stopped creating stake based coin and instead opted to smart contract based token.
I guess people like us remember staking as Proof of Stake wallet. For stakers now, they are talking about all these Defi projects that talk about staking your tokens with them, either in their pools or in some other centralized wallet. Very different from Proof of Stake coins,,, unfortunately we are oldies;)

I think tons of people get fairlay confused, fairlay is not a sportsbook, fairlay is a peer to peer exchange
This is what you get when you have people just going through threads of services they have never even used themselves,,, just posting and smearing and thinking they are doing everybody favors. @Degens BTC is able to use smart contracts just not as easily I would say as Ethereum,,, I do not know how to myself. But this is also the other problem with non BTC to me,,, gamblers are chiefly BTC betting people:)

I for one would very much love this to happen;) I mean,,, I love the price of Bitcoin now, even though I have yet to complete my own target of owning 1 BTC in my lifetime, and maybe I am still two years away if I can keep earning the same price,,, but I do worry it cannot be sustainable without first corrections to $13k or lower (I prefer lower).

There are 16 players that tested positive for covid19 in premier league since the last test from 9 to 15 november. Some of them not disclosed but we know mo salah and havertz is one of them. This numbers could still increased with tonight matches that will be played which of course at risk to get infected. We should not believe there is a favorites side this season i guess , all the teams has equal chance to win draw and lost. Too much key players missing out for premier league important matches.
Agree this season means anything can happen because every team is affected by covid and especially big teams who have many international players, they feel it the most. I just cannot understand how people are playing internationals during this time,,, I know many have already talked about it but they really need to do something about this. These guys have families too and young children, imagine how they must feel now to quarantine and self isolate and worry they will spread it.

i find it very odd to talk about something that is too far away in the future. it would be like talking about what started in January 2018 all the way back in middle of 2016 because that is where we are right now, close but still far from the previous ATH breaking of which is a long process itself. then we enter the big bull run that comes after all of which can last for over a year.
Not only that,,, we have to be realistic (possible to be realistic in BTC?) and see that even if we touch the previous ATH, we have not yet had a correction. Many bounces from $14k but we went through $16k and $17k like nothing. One bounce from $18k but we should be strengthening with consolidation and corrections first I would say before taking on ATH. So it is still to me very very far away in the future.

For instance, in FreeBitco you can grab a bonus but you need to wager the bonus 25x times before it's yours - so with the martingale system you can do it in a safer way than you taking a few shots in the dark and either win or lose the whole lot.
I would agree that FreeBitco is a good place for free money but the 25x wager requirement is very very high for a site that has 5% house edge so I would never say that this is safer,,, it is 5 times bigger house edge than most dice sites. That is a lot, by the way. You just only need to do autorun on 1 million rolls to see just how fast you will hit a bad streak even on 1 satoshi. Sportsbet.io has the most bonuses of any sportsbook I played on. I won a big prize there a few weeks ago (0.3 BTC) for only playing with 0.1 MBTC,,, plus get many freebets from promotions. I see no competition in terms of bookies.

Heard about these guys before but they always struck me as a form of MLM,,, especially because they used (or still have) to have a big referral system in place. But just checking them out now seems like they have moved on and built something very similar to crypto.com. It seems like this is the new business model a lot of projects are doing.
