all I ca say is congratulations , but is there any chance that you will share here the strategy you did? and still doing now?

this would be a Big help to others mate and also to aspiring traders and like you who has no funds to invest now and just having difficulties to make money in trading area as this is really risky .

Trading strategies shared? Nah, no need guy. Just DCA. Keep your day job, keep learning, living etc. Trading will take away all your free time, sap your energy and end up still with you wondering what on earth happened to your capital lol

Just dollar cost average buy the same amount as much as possible as often as possible. Bull run time becomes fun like that Smiley
3962  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Are we going to see a new altcoin boom soon on: March 28, 2022, 06:05:04 AM
Green season are coming, no more drama in the market and its about rising again. The altcoins are oversold, I can see that they will start to pump as well together with Bitcoin, we are going to welcome the second quarter of 2022 on a big green candle. Lucky to those who bought at the bottom price, because you can make more money now as many altcoins aims to have new ATH.

Oversold's a problematic term for me to be honest, because that totally admits that altcoins are really just useful for speculating on rather than for actual utility (because then we would be using the term undervalued).

But anyway, green season coming? Maybe, but that's always going to be thanks to Bitcoin, unfortunately Wink

Odds on this game was so small for Italy, even with handicap you needed -1.5 to get over 1.5x. I never really understand why people put a lot of money on small odds games, especially when it comes to football, where there are probably a lot more upsets than we think (even a draw is an upset!).

Can't believe Italy is out either. Wow.

Sometimes people get carried away and think there is a 100% safe bet! And then they invest more money to make that safe income, but sometimes it doesn't go that way, which can be seen in this case!
And I lost some tickets because of Italy, who could have thought that Macedonia would celebrate in the middle of Italy?! Not even in my wildest dreams! But my losses are not big, and I won some singles, so I am like on zero!
After this can we say that Macedonia has pretty nice chances to win against Portugal?!

A dice bet on 1.01 is "safer" to me than a football bet on 1.01 or any sports actually. OR even 1.1x on dice you are for sure getting a chance of almost 90% to win, whereas in football these 1.1x odds are never 9 out of 10 games, just always a draw to kill you when you least expect it. Which is why I never go below 1.5x in football (where even that is not easy).



I hope they don't experience what Italy went through. It will be the last world cup of Christiano Ronaldo and I think he will show a good cup performance. But he cannot make the team win alone.
It would be a huge mistake if they thought their opponents were weak. We've seen a lot of surprising results in football matches this year Cheesy

Well, I just hope whoever deserves it goes through. Italy didn't deserve to go out, maybe, looking back on performances past, but can't say Macedonia didn't deserve it either, to make it this far with a style of defending that the Italians gave up a long time ago.

Ronaldo has to make way for his colleagues. Problem with playing him is you can't play a new team style, you always build a squad around him. That's not good for the next EURO.

I understand the people who would like to keep their money. If you offered me free money, literally nothing in return, just free money then I would want to not lose that too and that makes sense to me.

Just because it came from signature campaign doesn't mean it is free, it's their money and they deserve to keep it. HOWEVER, the biggest deal here is that, if you earned that money and gambled with it, then you are the one who made a mistake, if you want to keep it then just withdraw it, or earn it in a way that you can keep it. If you earn money and then gamble it away, then it is a big your problem as well and makes no sense to me at all.

Don't know where you got in my comment that I was talking about free money. No such thing in life as a free lunch my friend, you always pay for things. Some things it's easier to see, others, it's not Wink

Anyway, we're in a gambling subforum and we're in a casino ANN thread. If we're not gamblers, then I don't know what we're doing here, I guess that's my final point in this whole thing.

Look forward to see what's coming for this site, I'll take a break from wagering for a while Wink

If you don't mind paying high fees (from what I understand) then why not also try Bitcoin ATMs? I don't have any near me as I know of and I feel like it's not really popular in my part of the planet but I keep reading about ATMs in Europe and America so I guess there is a quick and reliable option (it is a bit more risky with P2P if you are new).
It played on the range of 13% fee down below if you buy Bitcoin on any Bitcoin ATMs based in Europe according to the CoinATMRadar
It's too hurt to our pocket to cover those fees but if you've no choice, it might be good if you'll accept that you've already lost a certain amount because of the fee.

If you don't care about KYC, find a better exchange that you can be trusted, most exchange platforms now are required KYC verifications, and if you can deal with this, go for CEX.IO or in Coinbase.

Yes, I have heard at least 5% on actual price gone in commission and fees and such, but at the same time, there is also a low limit allowance for buys without KYC, and it's instant as far as I know (you get the tx to your wallet or you can get a paper wallet).

So there is some advantage to privacy (if without KYC) and perhaps just an additional option that could also be more convenient for OP.

I honestly wouldn't use an ATM but if there are so many around the world and it keeps growing, there must be a lot of demand.

Haven't been doing my cricket rounds for a while, just in general too busy and too remote to do serious follow ups but MI are ripe to bet against today, do you guys think? Just feel like they bowed out too easy last time around.

@JSRAW I share your feelings about leaving in a good way. Everyone will understand and even support you if you have to take an enforced leave. Even if you explain it first and people disagree, at least you gave enough notice first. It's a universal human thing, there is right, there is wrong, and sure there's a lot of gray too but anyway...

Good luck to all you guys, I would have joined this pool if I could put my picks in today but weekend is really bad for me now so I'll miss first picks.

Add a reminder if you can to msg me for future pools Smiley

 Cry
It's a case to case basis since not all users do 25 post in regular basis if they don't have any campaigns so for forum user that doing the campaign as job, This loss is surely gonna cost them a lot because they invest time and effort for there post quota. Personally I'm only posting once a day maximum 3 post a day but with the campaign minimum post requirements. I extend my time here in the forum to interact and share my knowledge for my passion in cryptocurrency. I start playing moderate gambling when I start joining gambling signature campaign.

As I said above, time and effort should not be an additional cost. If you're making more effort just because of the campaign, then you will end up making low quality posts. I think this is something for all of us to reflect on. Join campaigns only if you actually use and support them. And always contribute and be helpful in the forums regardless of whether you have a campaign.

That way, you even find it easier in the long run to join a campaign later.

Still, you lose  time, not even money but still the time still before getting paid you need to qualify with the post requirement of the campaign and it depends on you how you will use your funds, other members will use this for their financial need and for sure another member will use to play for gambling it depends on the user to make the money risk or to keep their money, but still better we don't become dependent in the campaign just to earn.

Man I really don't get people who say they lose time and effort and money gambling here with campaign earnings.

First of all, we should all have a regular job to earn our money. Anyone who relies on campaign earnings to support their life, please rethink your priorities. This is a side income, a bonus, a great way to reward being a good, active forum user, and site user and supporter.

Some people spend hours a day gaming, some hours a day on netflix, I spend less than an hour a day gambling. The end result, we all spend money to achieve entertainment. Yes we lose time, but we gain relaxation, enjoyment. Why do people treat gambling like it's supposed to be an investment or earning? Smiley

The bookies just made a huge sum from Italy match, lots of people ticket would pick italy with the hope that they will win, no one could be able to bank huge on the fact that Macedonia is gonna win , its just a high risk gambler who would stake huge on it, Italy will miss another world cup tournament in a row, European Champion unbelievable!!!

Odds on this game was so small for Italy, even with handicap you needed -1.5 to get over 1.5x. I never really understand why people put a lot of money on small odds games, especially when it comes to football, where there are probably a lot more upsets than we think (even a draw is an upset!).

Sad because this promotion isn't available anymore, but happy to read that no one said it is gone, just that it is on hold for a while.

As noted above my team (Barcelona) has been the one responsible for the most Blackjacks, win or lose, we just know how to keep the cards rolling don't we? lol

I was much more active in the beginning, when they used to put the games out 1 or 2 hours before the game, but then because of my work shift and sleeping times I couldn't always get on but the last couple of hits as I wrote were magical (betting all-in on balance and striking x21).

It was great run indeed. Too much fun when there was a big game watching it and rooting not only for goals but corners and cards  Grin Once upon a time I had strategy and did research on the teams.  If they make good number of corners, if referee is giving cards easily and such. Too bad I got lazy and lately was just betting on every game.  Grin Grin See you on the next one.

Same here, it ended up that if you bet every game you made profit, as some hits were totally unexpected like in AFCON.

See you next time this edition comes Smiley

Try to contact Steve about it directly then? He helped me a lot already and whenever something went offline for me, he helped to fix it directly. It is just an issue of your location I guess.

No problem, and yes it is an issue of location there is actually sometimes a message saying that they are not allowed to serve you in this location, something like that. Customer Support will always tell you they cannot do anything about it.

Like I said, it's not problematic for me as long as I can continue to play.

BUT if a nice promo comes and I'm interested then for sure I'm PMing Steve lol
3972  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to understand or know the whale's next move? on: March 24, 2022, 11:01:28 AM
If there is such a group to track whales and their moves, the probability is high that it's a scam! And I think it's wrong to think that if you follow a whale it can lead to some profit, but that's not really the case! Whales have big capital and can invest in more things, and a small percentage of profits can be good money when the stakes are high! For us amateurs, 1% is not much if we trade with $ 50, for a whale that trades millions 1% can be a real fortune! When it comes to risky investments, I think they also make mistakes and lose money! With large capital, this may not be noticed, but it's certain that not every risky investment of a whale is successful!
The bottom line is that people should learn to trade on their own! Following someone can be a good thing just to pick up some good news and compare your analysis with others! Never rely on others to do the hard work for you, most likely they will mislead you in one way or another!

I would even go further and say 100% scam. Anyone who actually tracks whales and moves to help them make trading profit is not going to open a group for others to join. Just in the same way anyone pumping/dumping or getting super signals is never going to open a group for people. Why share secrets?

This falls into the same category of all scams whereby if it's too good to be true... Smiley

Remember it doesn't even need to be 1% with 100x leverage you only need 0.01% Wink
3973  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Btc and usdt people trust on: March 24, 2022, 09:52:27 AM
Centralized stablecoins are just as insecure as centralized exchanges. I allow the use of these stablecoins for the duration of the trade, but for long-term storage it is better to use DAI or TerraUSD.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5247581.0

The only time I ever use stablecoins is on exchanges, to be honest. Usually when I need to sell a lot of stupid stuff and put them all in usdt or the exchange's version of it like BUSD on Binance, which then is easy to see the value of, before selling it all to withdraw as fiat.

I would never hold any stablecoin as that's to me just as bad as holding a centralized altcoin.

^^ In the end, if it's campaign earnings, then you actually haven't lost anything if you wager and lose it all.

And for those who say that's work, I disagree. I'm a forum user, active before I even joined campaigns. And sometimes when campaigns end I'm just as active for weeks and months without signature, so I see the campaign as a bonus for being active here Wink

Nice to see a balance after a few weeks, and to gamble it totally for fun with so expectations. And if you win, it's a huge bonus (so far I'm in profit overall because of daily wager contest but it's hard to really keep track because there's no stats for overall history yet).

*You know how many minutes Hazard played in last 7 games against Barca? 0 (zero), money well spent Smiley

I am so sick of sports papers these days, everybody is piling shit on Real today after praising them until yesterday. Yeah, they were terrible, yes Ancelotti made few bad decisions, especially with playing Modric as false 9 but still this is a team that is first in La Liga (12 points over Barca) and they just dropped PSG from CL. Who can ask for more?


I remember a few games ago when Messi was still in El Clasico and it was also discussed why Hazard wouldn't even start even though he could be half fit and the commentator said it was something about his mentality that wasn't suitable etc. I didn't get it also.

Oh and it's so stupid about the Real drama even on this forum. The La Liga thread as usual is majority of users just recycling comments they read, all going on and on and on about Real being shit etc.

I'm a Barcelona fan and I didn't have Barcelona to win in the pool, probably the most hurtful point I've lost all season long the pool and the only reason why I probably didn't have Barcelona to win was because I made my picks about 2 weeks ago (for 3 weeks in advance) but never got a chance to review it before the game week started which is what I often do.

There were just so many low scoring games in the week, and it's probably the worse week there have been averagly in the pool right ? Yellow cap with just 9 points (I had just 3).

I'm the biggest idiot, putting Barca to win in every game, I just can't help it. But 4-0 if I did that either I disrespect Real or I am crazy or I am Xavi Wink

Also, thanks for prediction contest. Do you guys already know how much was raised from players for Ukraine? Just curious (and sorry if already answered I skimmed through last few pages and didn't see it).

+100 on the English point. I haven't met a single person on this gambling section who speaks only Chinese, and I know the China market is huge for gambling but if you want the forum gamblers to go put their BTC on your site, you need to cater to them. I'd even take down his thread first and fix the language default;)

Even opening the games there is no English option, totally unplayable Sad

The translation, by the way, really needs a huge improvement. My English is not super but I can see many mistakes and confusing sentences.

Secondly, website has too much general information on landing page. Put your best game on the landing page!

Finally, crypto gamblers want to know about house edge, provably fair things. You need to publish this next to every game.
3978  Economy / Gambling / Re: Blackjack.fun | 0.28% House edge | Live tables | Baccarat |Slots| InstantWithraw on: March 23, 2022, 07:38:26 AM
Same here. Today is the first day I played Blackjack with my signature payment. It was great becoming no 9 on the daily wager contest. It was a good session until I get 11 red streaks on roulette and lost all. Lose is also a part of the game. Hope I can recover it with next week's signature payment. I was no.7 on the leaderboard. But, I got kicked to no 9 in the last three minutes. Whales always wait for the last hour/minutes.

I saw your name pop up too so welcome to the wagering! I have been a bit busy recently so this week and last week I managed only to place in top 10 twice, but most of the other days I end up getting pushed way down and out of the prizes.

Glad you understand that losing's all part of the game, just know your limits, make sure you have fun, and everything's all right.

Watch that daily. Some days there are 4 or 5 spots to fight for, then you know you have a chance. Other days only 2 spots, not worth it IMO unless you're ready to wager long and hard Wink
3979  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: March 22, 2022, 01:10:13 PM
Yes it's possible that Barcelona can take 2nd place but that doesn't mean anything nothing special between 2nd and 3rd place both of them get UCL tickets
If only to bet yes that's ok Barcelona is definitely favourite they are confident about the last win And it must be remembered that Barcelona still has matches in the European league, if the coach applies the wrong strategy then it is risky for the players injuries can come at any time.

Every position does make a difference in La Liga however, because 25% of the La Liga prize money every season is distributed according to the average position of your team for the past 5 years. So 1 position more is really important as it counts for the average for the next 5 years.

I couldn't find the exact numbers but it seems this is several million difference per position. Enough to pay one youngster contract for a year, with all our issues we can do with this money Smiley

Plus, apart from last season Barca never finished outside top 2. I would like to see us return to that stat.
3980  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto Scams now the second largest in the world on: March 22, 2022, 11:24:10 AM
The average scammed amount is $1200? That's so much. Imagine every person involved in crypto be scammed with something like this, it's really saddening on the part that all they need is education and research on the specific project that they are going to invest in. I'm not that surprised that it came to be the second because the way it's being done is easy compared to other types of scams.

What is the number #1 though?

The sad part of this is the people that are not involved in crypto would start associating Crypto as a scam tool since it's now the second.

The last time I lost such a big sum in a related manner was about 2 years ago but it wasn't a scam, it was an account compromised at a big site on this forum. It was abou $2000 then but BTC was nowhere near today's price so it's about 4 times more the value of when I lost it. Makes me sick to still think about it.

But to lose that amount in a scam? I would feel every day just so guilty. I mean we've all lost money in ICOs and shit, tokens didn't do well, I've even been directly scammed in this forum but for that amount of money, I would never put it in someone's hand online.

And yes, what's #1?
