You mean if they have a fake license from some offshore locations then they are legal and if they have no fake license then they are not legal? For me a gambling site is legitimate if they have a provably fair system and if there are no scam accusations and withdrawals are quickly processed.

If you have a fake license then it will likely be found by the gamblers trying out the site. For sure there are those curious ones that would likely check the legitimacy of everything before they even try to deposit into that casino. I don't think also that competing casinos will also allow such a thing and they will likely want to kill off competition and by proving that they have fake licenses then it would be a negative for that casino.
402  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: December 07, 2017, 07:38:59 AM
Gambling is a game and we all like playing games..specially those games with a kind of suspense and challenge. It is not so obvious to make a bet.. you need logic, strategy and analysis.

What are you talking about logic, strategy and analysis? If it was poker or some other gambling games that has an element of using skill like sports betting, then you can use those that you stated. But generally, most casino games do not have such an element since they mostly rely on luck. For example is Dice, you only rely on the roll and after you roll the dice there is really nothing else to do but wait.

I try many times to bet in jackpot but I can't win for many years, I guess winning jackpot is only a dream that possible to happen or not. I think you need to believe that this is like a lottery that, over hundred thousand million people only one can win the jackpot.

That's why instead of believing in jackpot winning maybe all you need to do is to work hard and be careful to the decision you been made especially when you choosing to invest.

But it was intended to be hard to hit.That is why it is a jackpot. If it was easy to hit then everybody will be able to get the jackpot, and if that is the case then the jackpot will always be empty and no one will ever desire a small jackpot. I think that is part of what it is and why people come for it. Some jackpots are better than other, since other jackpots rely on how much a gambler bets, which means only big bettors will win big as well.
404  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Superstition on: December 06, 2017, 08:24:40 AM
Its weird but i believe in superstision especially if i gamble in a land base casino or playing online. I always rely in my horoscope if im going to win if i gamble this day and i followed the lucky numbers, colors and even bought a lucky charm recommended for me. However i know that it has nothing to do with your faith whatever your business is but believing in superstition doesnt bad at all.

This is interesting. Can you share your results? Have you noticed any difference when playing with your lucky charm and without it?

I think if it's fun for you to believe in superstitions, then why not? I personally don't believe in such things, but I have no objection to such behavior if it's fun for someone. Gambling is not something to be taken seriously anyway so why not to add a bit more fun to it? )
Its better that he should give some idea if he's making some money with that belief or just the same thing happen, there's no relevance or any connections with our gambling activity coming from any superstition or lucky charm but its up to anyone whether they wanted to believe or not.
Yes, It is so absurd to believe in superstitious things even when you’re re living in 21st century. We all know that these are pretty nonsense things. Super sites people simply believe on certain things without strong logics and reasons but according to them, all these things work for them. What I believe is it totally depends on you, whatever you believe in appears to be true. It is hallucination or its ilk, nothing else.

Absurd is the perfect word here, since those people that believe in these superstitions are not really going to win anything out of just carrying something like a rabbit's foot or wasting their time finding that four leaf clover. The fact is, sometimes it works but to be realistic, that is just a coincidence that it works. Some say that wearing one shirt is much more luckier than your other shirts, that is completely preposterous.
405  Economy / Gambling / Re: Primedice ICO on: December 06, 2017, 08:20:34 AM
Any investor, before giving money to the project, will ask why this money is needed?
We witnessed too many projects that tried to collect millions of dollars for a software product worth $50k.
If the project suffices 2kk, then it is unlikely that it will collect 10kk.

Indeed, especially with casinos. I am not even sure why a lot of casinos had taken the route of creating an ICO and their altcoins. I think it is still best to just use the current system of having investors invest into the bank roll than creating a coin that could potentially just cause problems when trading starts. There is that sense of instability generally inherent in all altcoins, unlike in just investing into the house they don't need to be subjected to that volatility. Not to mention, the altcoins will also be subject to the rise and fall of the house's bankroll.
406  Economy / Gambling / Re: The Crypto Gambling Foundation will be calling out fake "Provably fair" sites on: December 06, 2017, 08:12:25 AM
It's amazing that a single factor can change a whole lot of things. Though, since I am not an expert at how things work on the casino's side of things, is provably fair truly that formula? Is it really [server seed] + [client seed] + [nonce]? Is there no other way of creating another form of provably fair environment? Another thought is, how secure is it really if the formula is that? Is there no way a casino can cheat if that formula is used? Pretty interesting.
407  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you feel when win in gambling? on: December 05, 2017, 03:01:13 PM
Surprice and will be happy when won in gambling. of course
when you get a profit or won. you know that it is a good time to stop playing and enjoy your real life.

Of course that is the natural reaction to a win. I always question what this topic is about, maybe a better question is about what will you do after a win. Like what you answered here. But I guess that's how the question should be answered. Anyway, I do think it will always depend on how much winning did you get. If you just got a dollar, I don't think you'll be celebrating that much. Also what if you have the settings like at 97% win chance? Does the feeling feel the same?
408  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you a problem gambler? on: December 05, 2017, 02:08:02 PM
Maybe I used to have a problem with it. But lately, my passion for gambling continues to fade, so I do not think I have big problems in gambling.

Good for you, and you should keep that up. If you are a problematic gambler then that is progress right there. Like in smoking, you should try to quit it as much as possible. But also accept that it will not happen in an instant. So you are really making progress here since you are continually reducing your gambling habit. I guess not everybody can do the same, so good job my friend.
409  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Poloniex Question on: December 05, 2017, 01:46:47 PM
Why take the longer route? Why not just buy XMR with BTC? Then if you want to sell your XMR then sell for USDT. Huh

I don't see that point of selling your BTC for USDT then buying another altcoin with it. If you want to trade USDT then when the time comes for you to profit from your XMR purchase then sell it for USDT and buy whatever you want with USDT if you still want to trade.

You can click the "BTC" section to buy XMR with your BTC then when you want to sell for USDT click "USDT" section.
410  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A Flood of Bitcoin Forks Coming....4 more here before Jan 2 2018! Sheesh! on: December 05, 2017, 01:39:52 PM
I really blame bitcoin cash for this shitty bitcoin fork mayhem. They started it with the promise that they will be the new and the only bitcoin everybody needs. But honestly, they just made another altcoin. Then comes those other shit coins that think they can oust bitcoins. Then it just gone crazy with bitcoin gold and bitcoin diamond, they're just plain creating shit coins just to make a quick buck! What is this, Pokemon? I'm guessing next ones are Bitcoin Crystal, Bitcoin emerald, Bitcoin Ruby, Bitcoin Sapphire, Bitcoin White, Bitcoin Black, Bitcoin FireRed, Bitcoin LeafGreen, Bitcoin Pearl, Bitcoin Platinum. Yeah you guessed it, name all the Pokemon games and that would be the new Bitcoin fork!
411  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Sell your house for investment in btc. on: December 05, 2017, 01:31:56 PM
That is good and all, but my balls are not big enough for something like this. Not to mention I do not really aspire to be rich. All I want is financial security, for which that kind of risk is overkill.
Well you need to risk something to get something. If you don't risk your money then there would be any financial security to talk about. Probably if you are earning a good living then that is possible, but if you don't then probably bitcoins are still a good investment. I do think there is a good chance that McAfee's prediction will come true, since he even had the biggest balls to predict that by 2020 it would be 1,000,000. We will know by 2020 whether McAfee does have big balls though, if you know what I mean.
412  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: is it risky to turn all my money to bitcoins? on: December 05, 2017, 01:21:22 PM
It sure is damned risky, but it is a good risk. If you did what the Winklevoss brothers did in 2012-2013, then you're likely a millionaire by now (or a billionaire even). They only have like 91,000 bitcoins and they are a billionaire, but still extremely far away from the net worth of Mark Zuckerburg those guys are, but they'll get there if the prices reach about $1,000,000. Oh well, they will have to wait till 2020 to be as rich as Mark.
413  Economy / Economics / Re: DO you think china was right to shut down Bitcoin exchanges and ICO? on: December 04, 2017, 03:55:10 PM
I agree with what they did with ICOs but not really bitcoin/cryptocurrency exchanges. Since I think ICOs are really getting out of hand and the governments need to control the proliferation of these ICOs that just turns scam or no real effort was really given by the devs to develop the project. A lot of ICOs had just took the money and over state the expenditures they had to excuse themselves from developing the project.
414  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Will hit 13k? on: December 04, 2017, 03:34:37 PM
Likely it will, it's not a question of "if" but more of a question of "when" it will hit $13,000. I would say that it would be extremely possible to hit it before the end of the year and we'll definitely see more pumps by 2018. I even think that we can even hit an all time high of $250,000 by 2018. So we should consider saving as much bitcoins as we can as it would be extremely expensive in the future.
415  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2017-12-03] Bitcoin Pushes Canada Toward State Crypto Coin on: December 04, 2017, 03:19:17 PM
I've read these kinds of news every since bitcoins started to get famous, but really it has never happened. I've been reading that crypto-ruble or crypto-yuan or crypto-yen, but really, not one of them ever came through. In fact, there have been also a lot of news that a country or even banks and other industries are going to adopt a blockchain technology, but never did those too push through. So, I don't think this news about Canada will come true either or likely it will not be in the near future.
416  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Make Smaller Trades on: December 04, 2017, 03:04:02 PM
So I usually get offers from people who know that I have bitcoin to sell them small amounts of bitcoin like 20 USD - 50 USD.

I want to know how to make such trades without high fees, because I don't know how can it be made profitable to sell such low amounts with high fees.
Any idea?

Charge them the fees. They can't really do anything about it anyway. Or just do it through platforms that will not require fees if you send to them the fees, that would be called off-chain transactions. But generally, it is indeed not safe to hold any bitcoins using any online wallet, but that's the only way to do it without incurring fees. Some cryptocurrency exchanges allows transfers within the platform, maybe consider that option.
417  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BitCoin for Survivalists. on: December 03, 2017, 08:16:51 PM
In the even the all nodes and all internet dies with the war, then there won't really be any bitcoins to speak of. If you want to survive a war, then stock up on essentials. Food, shelter, whatever basic human needs you can find. Since after the war, everybody will be hungry and torn, no one will even be thinking of bitcoins really. But that is just a theory. Maybe there is another chance that bitcoins will even be the only financial medium alive for all we know.
418  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: EUR/BTC historical data ? on: December 03, 2017, 08:09:07 PM
I would just suggest to compile them yourself since you are not really looking for a huge set of data anyway. Probably it would extremely be messy if they would incorporate everything into one data anyway, so just do it yourself so you can have a view of everything they way you want it to be.

Also, since there aren't much people really looking for such a thing it would be hard to find a compiled kind of data.
419  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When 21 million? on: December 03, 2017, 07:53:08 PM
I know 2140 is a looooong way out, but will the transaction fees alone be able to support the miners? Will too much profit be taken away when there are no new coins to be minted?

Yes it is indeed far far away from now. But yeah that question is valid, but that time miners will be fighting for the fees. If the fees aren't much then it will just balance it out. Likely the number of miners will decrease by then and it will bring things back to equilibrium. Since if miners are not profiting then that means they will not be able to sustain their mining activities which will result to a lot of them quitting and those who stay will be able to earn the fees just to be able to pay for the fees of operating it.
420  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Safest way to keep bitcoins? on: December 03, 2017, 07:46:44 PM
Tryncold storage it's like an offline wallet maybe it's the best way
Cold storage ftw, no doubt. Storing crypto in exchange wallets is plain stupid and risky, see Cryptsy

Of course cold storage would be the best, but what if you are trading? Then there is no choice but to deposit your crypto inside an exchange. That is the only way you can trade. So the best thing to do is research your exchange first and secure yourself from possible scams. But we can't really account for every risk possible with exchanges. Even the big exchanges have had issues before.
