Maybe it would be nice to show your own bet sizes as well and keep score of how much you won/lost. Would make it very interesting if you can build a trackrecord soon.

I've held off from buying overwatch, but it is starting to itch lately!

I have no interest in doing so until the overwatch league starts.

Can you give us more information and profiles of each different player so we would know who are the good ones? Starting out in a new sport is really hard so expect to have a lot of questions from me. Can you also give us your thoughts on all the match ups you have posted? Your posts are useless without them.
Yeah I agree, some more info on how you got these predictions would be useful. Even if it's just in the beginning.
Aside from that, thanks for posting these!

Oh and don't forget to post results as well..
3802  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why I have switched to mutual betting and why you should too! on: January 20, 2017, 02:22:06 AM
That's also how I personally gamble when I'm doing sportsbetting, I just don't find it interesting if the odds aren't high enough.
Sure, I lose more than I win but it's just much more fun that way Smiley
3803  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What would you do with your winnings? on: January 20, 2017, 02:19:49 AM
maybe to gamble again, as op say if you've won will definitely want to win again and with a higher risk, human needs are not limited if you can get rich by gambling why stop gambling
With that kind of attitude, when would you even cash out? This really sounds like you're someone who's addicted and doesn't know how to stop until you've lost everything...
Most people do not get rich from gambling fyi...
3804  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What happen "if" someone have all of bitcoin? on: January 20, 2017, 02:15:49 AM
Your English is a bit hard to understand, but I'll try to answer your questions.

It's 100% impossible for one guy to own all Bitcoins in existence, simply because there are a lot of permanantly lost Bitcoins.
In theory it should be possible for one person to buy all remaining Bitcoins in existence (once they're mined), but I really doubt that anything like that would happen, they would have to offer a really high price for them and even if they did, I doubt that 100% of people holding Bitcoin would sell.


3805  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: App to Make Getting and Selling BTC Easier on: January 20, 2017, 02:09:40 AM
It's a pretty good idea, but I personally wouldn't use it, just because it seems somewhat dangerous to meet with complete strangers to do money/bitcoin transfers.
But I'm sure that it could work since LocalBitcoins is also pretty popular.
3806  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [POLL] Would you open a Bitcoin account at your local bank? on: January 20, 2017, 02:06:24 AM
A Bitcoin account at your local bank would means banks are involved into bitcoin and the possibility of their influence in the market, ect, could be quite important. Wich from me would means the total opposite of the purpose of cryptocurrency
You don't want banksters having even 1% control about anything related to bitcoin, we don't need the rats on the boat
In the scenario that you describe, how exactly would 'banksters' have any control over Bitcoin? Any entity should be able to trade Bitcoin, even banks.
My guess would be that if banks get into Bitcoin and start trading, prices would skyrocket.
3807  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: We are still far behind mainstream acceptance on: January 18, 2017, 09:32:37 PM
It surprises me that most people still think like that, especially in the 3rd example you gave.
Quote
3. The 3rd one gives two suggestions:1. If you have sufficient funds, take your chance. 2. If you want to lose everything, take your chance.

It should be pretty clear by now that Bitcoin is here to stay since it didn't go bust after the Mt. Gox fiasco. I wonder what those people will think when Bitcoin prices go above, say, $2000...
3808  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin sponsors in the White House?! on: January 18, 2017, 09:26:51 PM
I don't really think it will do much for Bitcoin, it all depends on how the main man (Mr. Trump) view Bitcoin, if it is neutral then they may influence things but knowing that it is being dominated but the Chinese market, I don't think Mr. Trump will go for BTC
Maybe that's exactly the reason why Trump would be in favour of Bitcoin, to get miners back to the US and keep it 'out of Chinese hands'.
Pure speculation of course, I actually doubt that Trump would even acknowledge Bitcoin..
3809  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: BTC VIA SMS on: January 13, 2017, 10:18:51 PM
Yep,something like this.
I am from Croatia, i cant see Croatia on country list.
Yeah probably not, but I would not look any further for ways to buy Bitcoin through SMS, since you're going to pay a lot of fees compared to buying them via wire transfer or even CC.

I've done some research and it's probably not even possible to buy Bitcoin via a Croatian mobile provider.
3810  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin Price Jumps on Trump Victory on: January 13, 2017, 10:06:05 PM
I don't think that Donald Trump’s election victory is belong to our bitcoin's price, but i agree on it, suddenly bitcoin price rise up when Trump win in election. I really don't know, Why it is happening? Because in International stocks market suddenly down when Trump winning announce. But it is still good for us, because i am doing investment in bitcoin.
Why do you even revive an older topic like this? I mean, it would be fine if you had something useful to add, but you're just rehashing everything that has been said before....

Granted, there's a slight possibility that you just don't speak English well enough to fully portray what you're saying, but from what I'm seeing, you're just a sig spammer.
3811  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Awareness on Local Level on: January 13, 2017, 09:56:22 PM
It's good there are some people who actually do such stuff. And if they do free seminars for people they must have good sponsors which also means that there are rich influential people who are interested in spreading the knowledge about btc. Maybe, they gain something from it. Maybe, they just think it is something people have to know (like culture or math). In my 3rd world country I studied at Technological lyceum and I believe right after my graduation some people came to the school and did some small introductory seminars for high school students about btc and it being profitable. That is nice, I guess.

learn enough about BTC and then you can become the lecturer.
you can make a nice income. but worth doing a few small seminars for free to get your name known locally first.. its how andreas antanopolis started off and now he is making a career out of it, fully funded by bitcoin.. paid for by conference ticket purchases (thus even organising events is no big cost to get lecturers in)
That's actually not a bad idea, now that you mention it. But I'd be a bit apprehensive, just because I'd feel like I'm not an expert, so I'd feel bad for taking money for something that someone could just learn online.

I know that providing the service is enough (morally speaking) to deserve some sort of compensation for it, but the fact that I'm not a professional makes me think that it's wrong for me to ask money (BTC) for a service like that.
3812  Economy / Economics / Re: How many Bitcoin do you have saved? on: January 13, 2017, 08:22:12 PM
I saved around the 3 bitcoins and I think that it can still be very profitable with enough patience.

Good thing that you have saved around 3 bitcoin because I haven't save too much. Just don't let yourself panic upon seeing the price to fall down. And perfect example is what is happening today, the price is falling very fast but still just keep on holding those coins. Because it will do a comeback just like what happened from the past.
If he is a trader then he could have sold when the price was above one thousand and then buy again when the price got lower if he did that he may have something close to 4 BTC instead of 3 BTC.
That's really speculative behavior, which is ok if you're just in it to make a quick buck, but it's better to consider Bitcoin a long term investment.
By better I mean that it's better for Bitcoin itself.
3813  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: BTC VIA SMS on: January 13, 2017, 08:15:46 PM
It would be profoundly risky, but you could send/receive a private key via SMS.
I don't think that's what OP is talking about.
He's probably talking about a service which allows you to send a text message or make a call and to buy bitcoin paid by your mobile credits.

I've known services like that in the past, but they all shut down. Mobile providers charge a lot for payments like this.

Edit: Something like this you mean http://bitby.co/ (I've not used that site, so can't comment on its trustworthiness)
3814  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: BITCOIN MICROPAYMENTS on: January 13, 2017, 08:07:43 PM
When I try to claim, I get an error 'Invalid API'.
I'm on Chrome and running ublock (adblocker), was trying to check if I could claim while having an adblocker, which should not be possible.
While I don't know for sure, I expect that the OP disabled the API because he wants to sell the service.
The user (FaucetRank.com) said that he claimed 100 sats successfully, so I assumed that the faucet worked.
And I feel like I should get some kind of warning beforehand when I access the page with an adblocker, it's definitely something a faucet owner wants.

And on a side-note, I don't think that selling the service is a good idea. Faucetbox did it all for free and you have even less functionality than Faucetbox.
Besides, aren't earnings for faucet owners pretty abismal to say the least, can't imagine too many people paying for a service like that.
3815  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin in the classroom, yes or no and why? on: January 13, 2017, 04:40:51 PM
This is for a personal writing project I'm working on. I imagine that Bitcoin would be good for things like teaching things like math with decimals ("How many Satoshis do you need to get a tenth of a Bitcoin?", stuff like that), budgeting (Spend it on whatever you want, but when it's gone, it's gone), or even a little bit of IT / programming stuff like how cryptography works. What do you guys think of this?

Yes and No.

I don't think bitcoin should be involved in teaching the following:
  • Basic math; conversions, decimals, etc.
  • Basic personal finance; budgeting, etc.
Bitcoin's low adoption and complicated creation allows people to believe it's "make believe" or a "fad". Yet the concepts above are very much needed for everyone to succeed in society. These topics need to be taken seriously  and therefore should be discussed in terms of the student's local fiat currency (which is very real).

Older students would benefit from bitcoin involvement in teaching the following:
  • Economic systems and how they can be created if a group of people are willing to particpate
  • Computer science
I came here to post this, you're absolutely correct in my opinion.

I would also like to add another reason for not using Bitcoin in math classes based on what OP said:
Quote
I imagine that Bitcoin would be good for things like teaching things like math with decimals ("How many Satoshis do you need to get a tenth of a Bitcoin?", stuff like that)
In this example you'd also need to explain what Satoshis and Bitcoins are, which is totally beside the point in math class.
If you're going to use real life examples, use something that everybody can easily understand (apples, oranges, whatever) so you don't lose any time because you need to explain an entire concept first.

Bitcoin would be great to spend a single lesson on in Economics and maybe multiple lessons in Computer science classes.
3816  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: What project will be good for this domain name? on: January 13, 2017, 04:23:43 PM
You can always put a faucet on it, any name is suitable for that Tongue
Otherwise, any form of site with micro-earnings would also be good.

Too bad the domain isn't justbtc.com instead, more options for that one

3818  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: which trading exchange is more safe ?? on: January 13, 2017, 04:09:59 PM
AFAIK , poloniex and bittrex are the best and most trusted exchanger I've ever know
Their site is simple so it's easy to use it ( short time learning )

I trade on yobit for a almost a year now. I was in their campaign, there I learned my first steps. They are good for me, I'm an amateur and for my little trades they are perfectly fine, I never had any problems with yobit.
Just don't try their dices, it's most stupid dices ever, there is a thread about that here, many people lost their coins there.

I thought their exchange look fishy as well so I'm doubt to trade there for a longer time period
I agree with you on Yobit being suspicious as heel, I don't know what it is with that exchange, but when I look at their website, I'm not really inclined to put a lot of trust in it.

Poloniex just feels much better in that regard.
3819  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Need badly alternative to kraken is there any? on: January 13, 2017, 04:02:09 PM
There are many trading platforms online that will not ask for personal details verification, I have trade and fund my account with poloniex and make bitcoin withdrawal without request for any person details. Required for personal details to me undermined the fundamental reason behind the creations of crypto currencies and as such I will not trade with those sites.
Have you made any USD deposits to those trading platforms without having to give your personal information?
Or were you able to cash out FIAT without any verification?
3820  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: EU to create database linking ID to cryptowallets on: January 13, 2017, 03:58:53 PM
Are you kidding?  FBI has been doing it for a long time now.  Very easy to do.  Very hard to undo.

All they can do is to try to link wallets created within exchanges to real people. Other than that, how are they ever going to know what some random address contains? it's not possible. They would need to get the address that is directly attached to a real person, and they can only do this by asking exchanges, and some people use VPN/TOR and don't give personal data (don't use fiat). Then it still remains impossible to trace them.
That's actually what it's all about (linking exchange wallets with users), the rest is just FUD.

But I wouldn't say that it isn't possible to link random addresses with real people, could be achieved by doing blockchain analysis and there are already a few companies that specialize in this.
