What makes you think that someone that you sent a photo with this kind of information doesn’t know anything about Bitcoin? So, you’re forgetting that there are people who prefer to keep their businesses to themselves?

I have been into buying, selling of bitcoin for years now and a lot of my friends don’t know about it, except a very few that are really close to me and are able to tell what I am up to. I am not the type of person that goes out there shouting out to everyone and telling them that I am into Bitcoin, it’s none of their business what I do.

People are always looking for means to make money and at the end their pursuit of profit leads them into putting their money in the wrongs , and of course that when they don’t know what they are getting themselves.

It’s always good to try understand the kind of thing you’re getting yourself into, do research and learn about scams and all that, you don’t just be trusting anyone you see knowing very well the world we are in that almost everything can be forged to deceive people. This is why it’s good to learn things and do it for yourself if you have time to do that, because other people can’t be fully trusted. There are still reliable people out there, but they are usually hard to find since there are so many of the bad guys.

Bitcoin has always been the main coin for me right from the time I came into this space. And for these stable coins, they are not something I have thought of for once, I know about them but I have not used them before.

The way I do my thing I don’t think making use of stable coins is of any use for me. And as for tax, where I live there are no laws yet, although there was an announcement made recently, but cryptocurrency is not something that’s fully recognized yet, though lots of people here are into it, but there are no laws on it and I have not paid tax for it before.

Having all these complains doesn't really bother them at all and neither should it. I mean this is a company that has partnership with Arsenal, jersey sponsors to Southampton and also Watford, why would they care about a bitcointalk account that fails to understand what the email states? Obviously have self-moderated topic and deleting idiots would be a lot better, after all you wouldn't want trolls to be rampant here and constantly spam this place, if you allow one, you allow all.

However when an idiot doesn't understand that word "investigation" and complaints about it, that doesn't damage their reputation, it just shows how many stupid people play here and that is how sportsbet became rich, if I had that many stupid people gambling on my casino I would be rich enough to sponsor premier league teams too.
3885  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🐺WOLF.BET - $500 Daily Race! 30% Rakeback! Advanced Dice Game🎲 2.000 Bets /s ⚡ on: September 30, 2020, 08:45:15 AM
Trying to win the wagering contest is a very bad idea. You always lose more that you can win.
Most of the time when a casino gets to be awesome and good (like wolf.bet) the wagering contest is more like a gift to big whales and not something people work for.

If you are a new website or a bad website obviously not that many people gamble on your casino and when you do competition they gamble there to get something in return, they play for the competition, but when you are a great place and there are people who gamble here anyway and the competition just happens to be during their gambling period and they win something not because they gambled for competition, but because they gambled with or without competition but end up getting something for it. People love it here, with or without competition they would gamble anyway, but wolf.bet just makes competitions to give something back.
So only people with big capital will get a big chance in the competition, let's say the pope is the one?
In competition gambling, everyone can take part in it, including people with small capital, but here Wolfbet is open to the public, anyone can get these rewards from gambling competition in competitions.
So I am not surprised to win the contest is an impossible thing but many people who want to try it with them have their own gambling skills
I don't associate with the pope but everyone can win the contest.
Competitions doesn't always require you to be rich, sometimes all you need to be is lucky as well. For example you are not rich at all and you decided to put up 100 dollars for the competition and you want to bet with it, you end up gambling over and over again but that day you are lucky, you reach to a point where you are top of the list and number one above everyone yet you now have 150 dollars instead of 100 dollars.

Not only you are leading the board but you also made money from it as well. Obviously rich is easier because they can even lose money and they could still be leading and not rich people need some luck, but it isn't impossible, mathematically speaking as long as you have a chance you should at least give it a try and if it doesn't work you won't win, but without trying you guarantee not winning it.
3886  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake.com - Casino & Sportsbook - Lamborghini Giveaway! 🚀 🎰 🏀 ⚾ 🏈 🎾 🥊 🎲 on: September 29, 2020, 08:12:58 PM
Increasing the withdrawal fees without announcing in the telegram channel was not expected because professional management should not only talk about positive changes such as giving 2 tickets instead of one in the Lamborghini raffle. Withdrawal fees are competitive as in other alternative crypto gambling websites,  0.0027 ETH and 0.0002 BTC per withdrawal request.

The fees are listed clearly on the withdrawal modal, we have actually updated the fees several times over the past few weeks and are not going to announce every fee change. However, we will try and communicate when fees change significantly. This all being said we are still subsidizing a significant portion of the fees  but users started using us as a wallet to take advantage of the low fees and we had no choice but to increase fees. Stake probably spends more on fees on behalf of users than any other crypto service but this is not a guaranteed incentive.
Nobody denies that you are quite cheaper than any other place, even binance who doesn't risk money (casinos do, gambler may win money) has twice the amount you have on bitcoin for example, they make money from your trading fee and on top of that charge you twice the amount stake does, which means you guys are awesome.

However this doesn't mean that you shouldn't share it when there is a chance, obviously when there is a change even if it is amazing to best you should still notify people, not because it would make people think this place is suddenly bad, that is not possible you guys still have awesome changes.

But the idea of "we are not going to notify every single change, it is on withdrawal page" is not really professional like you always are, you should totally do that even if it is still amazingly cheap for withdrawals.

I am sure Bucks fans would probably want Lakers to win, for two reason (one bigger and one smaller) ; one reason is Miami beat bucks and they would want Miami to lose, if bucks couldn't get it then the team that beat bucks shouldn't get it neither, who would want the team that eliminated you to be happy? They would rather see them miserable.

The other reason is at least one bucks player wants Lakers to win personally, don't know if this affects anyone else, giannis' brother plays for Lakers, which means Giannis would want his brother to have a ring as well, why wouldn't he want his brother to be happy, I know Kostas is not really a great player and would probably not get even a single minute but at the same time it is still a ring and doesn't really matter how much you contributed.

The COVID-19 keeps spreading and I’m currently in a third world country, and the funny thing about this is that some people here don’t believe that there is coronavirus in their country, they are thinking that it’s just the government playing one of their agenda games.

Really, I’m not going to blame these people because they are living in countries where their government are corrupt and always lying to them and doing sorts of crimes to loot money. But I hope this doesn’t lead to a wider outbreak of the virus. And I don’t think there is going to be lockdown, we have already seen the kind of impact a lockdown will have.
3889  Economy / Gambling / Re: Roobet.com | Crypto’s Fastest Growing Casino 🦘 on: September 27, 2020, 05:00:07 PM
Roobet has always mentioned how they have a higher house edge, however they have also said that they make up for it by having the biggest giveaways and promotions, basically returns to players as well.

What this achieves is that if you win nothing in the end, you lose more here than any other place, so if you think you are unlucky and will win nothing you should probably pick somewhere else but they will have house edge too (even if lower) which you will lose anyway.

However if you feel lucky, when that many people pay a higher house edge, the giveaways makes sure the winners of those promotions are not in negative, even if house edge is bigger, the giveaways makes sure that you earn money instead, so winners gets a positive return on average and losers have bigger loss on average. It all depends if you think you will get anything or not.

Before anyone can leave their job to go into trading full-time it would require a lot of hard work which I know for sure that so many can’t deal with it, so sometimes it’s always best to play safe by not quitting your job and trading only when you have the time and the right strategy.

Moreover if one is going to place eight trades and lose and only win the ninth one, then you’re losing. Just calculate that, unless you’re going to be making use of stop-loss to reduce the losses, but how sure are you that the profit will be able to cover up for the losses you have experienced? Apart from all that you have got to talk about the financial aspect of things, just trade if you’re ready for what comes with it.
3891  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Feeling bullish? Buy a Call option. on: September 26, 2020, 07:25:34 PM
It’s not a about whether you like options trading or not, it’s all about whether you’re going to be good at it, do you know how it works and are you actually going to profit from it? That is what should be the main question. Options is really interesting , the idea of making money without having to invest much, who wouldn’t like that? But, if you don’t know how it works you’re going to be losing money, there are risks like you have stated it out.

I have seen a lot of people that goes into options and later they start complaining and calling out the platforms for being scammers, but funny enough these people are the ones that don’t have a clue on how things work there.

@buwaytress I believe that he’s sad because like me he’s too missing researching about the player’s and then selecting them, however I guess it’s time to move on now and look forward to the champions league competition.

You can still do the research and bet on parlays for players scoring on those markets. Pick 4 good players with 2/1 odds each and that's easily 20/1 if you think you're good =p Don't think anyone did that much research for MajSev anyway haha.
Do you really not see the difference between betting on them and just joining a promotion? The huge difference is in one of them I bet on it, meaning I have to spend money on it and I do not want to bet on who will score, I like betting on which team will win but not which player will score, but even assuming I do that, it requires me to spend money versus something totally free that I spend nothing on.

Secondly it gave away 1 bitcoin to winner if you got it all right, when you wager unless you wager a lot you are not getting 1 bitcoin in return neither, you are getting less. So for something I spend money on, I get less versus something I spend nothing on and get more money in return. Obviously the promotion was 1000x better than betting on them yourself, not even close.
3893  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: September 26, 2020, 06:18:32 PM
They could possibly go for Haaland in the future. Let's be honest Real Madrid just makes more money than almost any team in the world, there are few that makes more money, even if Madrid didn't win champions league that many times recently, they would still be a team that made a ton of money, which means we are talking about a team that can spend 100 million or even more for a player they really need.

Haaland is just that type of player, he would be perfect fit for real as well, usually they like players who are a bit more physical and not players with flair, so I assume that is who they are waiting for. I can't guarantee it obviously because who knows what they will do or who they will get, we are not involved with the team but that was the media talk last year before the pandemic and I believe that is not 100% gone, it was just postponed.
3894  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2020/2021 on: September 26, 2020, 05:20:29 PM
Honestly second half being with fans on stadiums is a bad idea, it would be unfair to some teams but also I believe it would cause a lot more health issues that could see the league closed once again causing it to be like last year. So far ,it looks great, obviously it is a shame that we didn't see Messi in City and I would have loved him to play on a stoke city road game (old joke) but it looks like Barcelona is not giving him up at any cost, 700 million dollars release clause is basically saying same thing as 10 trillion dollars release clause.

Hopefully these few weeks were just a mishap from premier league and we get to see better games, it has been a bit boring, the last part of season after pandemic was not entertaining neither, maybe fans on stadiums made it more entertaining I don't know.

Steve's Multi Magic!!

Guys,

Im getting my Multi Magic out early today as it is going to be a horrowing weekend for the Sportsbooks around the world..   Undecided Undecided

With Man U 1.79, Chelsea 1.38, Tottenham 1.47, Man City 1.29, and Liverpool 1.49 - some Sportsbook managers will be walking around with a rabbit's foot and a 4 leaf clover this weekend  Shocked Shocked

With the potential of all favorites getting up, I'm throwing my hat in the ring with a 4 leg multi and boosting it to 6.20 >> get on lads!! this is the one to help you finish your month!!   Grin Grin

Check it out here >>> https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/sportsbet-specials/multi-magic/multi-magic-challenge/steves-multi-magic-5f6b306c83782b53b2937f6f

2 mbtc bet, could win up to 13 mbtc.. very handy.
Honestly this 6.2 looks like the best 6.2 you could ever hope for and this is probably one of the most 100% guaranteed bets I have seen. Obviously if you know sports betting you know that there is no 100% ever, even the worst team could beat the best team, Liverpool had just one loss until the pandemic started and it was to Watford our beloved team but unfortunately relegated, so anyone can lose to anyone. But these odds are just too good to pass up.

All 4 amazingly favorite teams that unquestionably going out to get easy 3 points and the return is SIX TIMES the money you put in. I would say this is a good boost to put up a good chunk, normally I place bets with about 10% of my bankroll, trying to manage it better, but this one is just too good so I will probably splurge on some 25% for once.
3896  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: September 25, 2020, 07:48:21 AM
I really assumed Celtics would win this game, I even wagered on it, Miami really plays differently, they are really a great modern team, I assumed Celtics was the modern NBA team prototype because of how they have wings who could shoot, defend and go inside as well, those wings are very important, but Miami once again showed the world it is not about just one star player, it is about the whole team and when you have "role players" that are doing their role amazingly, and I mean like perfectly execute it, you will not lose.

They came thus far thanks to everyone knowing what their strength and weakness is and they optimized their talents to get the most out of it. They remind of late 2000's or early 2010's Spurs in a way, playing this amazing team basketball to get most of out every possession and player.

There we go then. Proof of assets is available. Company ownership available. Reporting on hold till launch of new version. Updates found on Discord.

Oh and link still doesn't open for me, whoever posted it somewhere above.

All in all, unfounded as usual, and I think we can all appreciate the responses from Darkstar and BoXXoB.
Obviously it was an unfounded case to begin with, casinos are filled with people who think they found a "system" to cheat the casino and make money and they can't see why it is wrong and can't happen so they do it anyway thinking they will make money 100% guaranteed and when they lose all their money they realize that their system was wrong, right? Wrong! They start to think their system was flawless but the casino cheated them out of their money as well.

This is the reason why they come here and write how horrible casinos are and how they are cheaters and scams and what not in order to get some sort of retribution for their loss. Obviously any decent gambler how the casino world works would know a real or a scam website from a mile away so they do not care about those people.
3898  Other / Archival / Re: Bitcoin’s Hash Rate Reaches New ATH on: September 24, 2020, 08:20:01 PM
They won’t be investing in new machinery? But lots of miners are getting outdated. So that means that they will be buying lots of miners to replace the ones that have been outdated. I have seen news that lots of miners even had to drop because their miners are outdated and can’t continue with the mining.

The more the hash rate of Bitcoin increases, the more it’s difficult to be mining Bitcoin. They will have to be adjusting that. And as for those asking whether mining is still profitable, being profitable depends on some factors, and those are things you will have to figure out for yourself..

So if we change the system that money will be not Born from the debt?
What will be other way then?
And how it will be controlled how much money is given away to people to use it.


This Question is specially for those who is against this debt based economy?
I don’t know why people keeps on complaining and talking about this. And from what I have noticed, the people who are always talking about the current economy being based on debt are people who thinks that one day the fiat we are using is going to be replaced by the Bitcoin they are seeing now, which is not possible.

There are good and bad sides to everything ,and it all happens for a purpose. Unless we are planning to go back to currencies being backed by gold, which to me, wouldn’t be a really good idea since the gold has a supply and demand that is volatile. Maybe they should do proper research before saying whatever.

I can’t say for sure , we will know this when they ease all the restrictions and things gets back to normal, that way we will see what follows next. For now that there are still some restrictions we can’t really tell.

Although I don’t think that the US economy is going to fall, it’s not something that can happen easily, and your last statement already proves that, there are so many countries and investors that are relying on and investing in the US stocks. Even right now that there is a pandemic lots of people are buying the USD and changing their currencies to the USD to stay safe. So the US economy is not going to fall easily.
