4001  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake 3 Out Now!!! 🚀 🎰 🏀 ⚾ 🏈 🎾 🥊 🎲 on: July 28, 2020, 01:41:59 PM



@Symphonized that’s an lucky user because he just wagered a bet of $55 and went on to win $25k, and I also feel that he may have placed multiple small bets before hitting such a big price.

I just noticed the 100$ wager to chat has gone up to $500.. wtf is up with that? The whole idea with the chat is to keep people on the site and for them to socialize. (building a community) Now you restrict the chat section to a small amount of whales and the old regulars will leave the site.

Yes, the chat may become a bit spammy sometimes, but it is really not that bad. The chat has become a VIP area now and that is just ridiculous. Take away the "rain" bot and you will get rid of most of the spammers... that is the real problem.  Roll Eyes

Yeah unfortunately chat is too busy and too much spam too often lately.

We would love to have it with no requarements but its too much spam then. We will see how it goes and try to make changes so its good for everybody.

@MICRO I agree with @Kakmakr that this rise is not a good move as it’ll completely wipe out small gamblers from the chat, and it’ll send a wrong message to them that you’ll don’t care for them. Furthermore I understand that the chat can turn spammy at times, but for few rotten users punishing every small gambler is not nice therefore I’m hoping that Stake will reconsider this.

I forget about how long is the sponsorship contract of Sportbet and Watford. Since Watford will be on Championship Division next season, will we still see the Sportsbet and Bitcoin logo on Watford's Jersey?
Yes


Well, unless they've got a clause in the contract that says they can terminate the deal upon relegation, or significantly reduce payments. A lot of sponsorship deals and even players contracts have clauses like this. There's a huge drop off in terms of viewership between the PL and the Championship so that is often reflected in the various deals and deals can be lost upon relegation or payments significantly reduced. It would kinda be silly on the sponsors part not to have them really. The PL is the most watched league in the world, whereas the Championship probably doesn't get much attention in the grand scheme of things, so that's a lot of eyeballs missing and less eyeballs means less exposure for your brand.

@hilariousetc  True, a clause like that ("contract termination" or "a % reduction from the annual payment" clause is triggererd in case the team fails to stay in the EPL) could exist. But, regarding termination of contract, we do have some cases where both parties (sponsor and football club) mantained the sponsorship deal even though the team was relegated to the Championship.

In 2018, Fulham was promoted to the PL and a gambling company immediately signed a 2 year contract with the club [1]. But as we all know, Fulham had a pathetic run in the EPL (only 3 wins in the 18/19 season) and were relegated to Championship in 2019. But the sponsorship deal was not terminated as we can see on Fulham 19/20 kit [2].

Another example was Sunderland. Back in 2016, a gambling company renewed their sponsorship with the club for 3 years [3] while they were in the top flight, but unfortunately, the team was relegated to Championship in the 16/17 season, but, the deal was not terminated the following season [4]. Obviously, things changed when Sunderland was relagated to 3rd division and the deal was terminated.

If there is a termination clause here, I suppose the club also has a clause where they'll ask for remuneration (big sum) upon early termination of contract, no? idk, I think we'll get to see the BTC logo in the Championship next season. Anyways, would like to hear from Steve about this whole sponsorship deal. Oh, and to everyone here, sorry if this is too off-topic

I have tried searching online for this answer whether there is a relegation clause inserted in this deal or no, but so far I can’t find anything about this clause, hence we will have to wait for sportsbet reply to find out whether they had actually inserted such a clause or no.

Furthermore Watford has lost $60 million immediately according to Dr. Dan Plumley, and he’s explained that Watford could incur more losses in the long run unless they can win their promotion back to the league, hence I’m hoping that there was no relegation clause inserted in this deal.

4003  Economy / Gambling / Re: jacksbet.io pre - launched having lots of especial promotion. on: July 28, 2020, 07:07:52 AM
A new site that steal the design from other site will never be a good gambling site. It is clear that this new site uses the same design as Jacksclub.
Even from the way of they choose the domain name, this new site uses "Jacks".
Previously there is rinobet, which is also a new site that steal the design of Stake.
Now it comes jacksbet, with the same scheme as rinobet by giving away much money on pre launch to attract users.
I'll stay away from any sites that steal the design of other older sites. They can offer that much for prelaunch giveaway but they cant get their own design??

@panjul07 I’ll second that if a gambling site doesn’t have money to invest in original designs then I don’t expect it to have the necessary funds which is required for running a casino, therefore if Jacksbet want user’s to come to their site then they should immediately come up with original designs before the launch .

The rep from the jacksclub gave a statement that they are not connected with jacksbet.
I read it from somewhere, I forgot the thread.
I think you are referring this reply from the Jacksclub thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5246554.msg54857016#msg54857016

But the team from jacksbet should post their own thread, so they can answer directly their potential users.
There are similar gambling sites that we will encounter everyday.
So it is a matter of how they market their site and how legit they are operating.
The more of them, the better for competition. As they will do their best to gain players.
Spamming other thread just to be noticed is the bad marketing they can think of, I suppose. As what DoubleHunter said even the registration is suspicious and I don't think how many vigilant user they'll get from that clickbait. Who knows?

Also did anyone else notice that they’re 22 days away from the launch, but they’re yet not promoting on bitcointalk, and maybe it’s because they’re fearing that the community will write about their copied designs, and hence they have decided to stay away what do you’ll think about this?.

4004  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto Investors Rejoice As Bitcoin Price Surges Above $10,000 on: July 28, 2020, 03:46:47 AM
Personally, I think the big barrier is $10,500 but since we have broken it already, this bull run might continue and hit $11k or even $12k. This is the break out run that we have been waiting for many months now so let's see how far this run can go.

After three years of a prolonged bear market it is good to see more money coming into Bitcoin now and also if you check the over all market cap for Crypto has also grown as well. In the last month or so over 50 billion entered the crypto markets and of course a lot of that now is going into Bitcoin, both from retail investors and speculators and also from big companies like Grayscale who are buying up all the new BTC being mined. I also believe this bull market will last for over a year and will run longer than the previous one.

But year-to-year bitcoin has perform better in the bear market, not even the pandemic scare put a damp on the market. Yes, we have seen lower lows during the scare, but we already bounce back and now hitting another higher highs for this year. But it is still a long way to go before new all time high, not seeing it this year.

@jating bitcoin prices managed to break the $11k levels, and even surged towards $12k levels however now the prices are once again down to $10.9k levels, but it’s pertinent to note that they’re yet high as they were trading at $9.3k levels few days ago. Also multiple reasons for this rally are being cited and most notably among them are 1) that the traders cashed out their profits from defi tokens and invested in bitcoin and Ethereum, 2) the permission given by Office of the Controller of the Currency to banks to hold bitcoin for their clients.

@BozzHog I had a quick look at your site and already saw an error or the homepage, therefore you and your team should check it thoroughly before launching it for the public. Also there was no privacy, no FAQ, or terms page on your site, further under which license are you operating, and since it’s a new site you’ll have to build some credibility before people can trust you with their money.

^Bitcoin price is not "down" really, it is staying about the same, plus when bitcoin goes up and bull happens it has to move a lot, nothing small can be called bull right away, just because it moved from $9.1k to $9.5k we can't call it bull, so that means in order for a "bull" to happen we need to see it $9.1k to at least $11k and at that point the gamblers will try to gamble a lot more.

I remember during 2017 there was bunch of people who were upset that they missed out on making a lot of money so they put their bitcoins into gambling to make up for the difference, if you can double it you are in profit no matter how much bitcoin drops type of thinking I suppose. Of course almost all of them lost it and that is why I always say do not mix entertainment money and investment money.
It's nearly been a week and the price of bitcoin pumped to $10,200. A quick glance of the past where you've just sharing the price of bitcoin if it's bull or not.

@jossiel yea no point in discussing this now because bitcoin prices are down right now, hence it’ll take quiet a while before we witness the next bitcoins bull rally. Also wapax was on the top of the leaderboard till the midweek, but then s3rd4r decided that he wishes to occupy the top spot for himself, and he was successful in occupying it.
I guess it's time to be alive again now, the price is up.

Let's see what will be the end of the week looks like if it has an effect just like what others are speculating about.

@jossiel last week bitcoin prices were around $9300, and yet wapax took the top spot by wagering around 21 Btc, so let’s see if this rally in bitcoin prices will actually increase users spend or no. Also bitcoin prices seem to be fluctuating a lot as it touched $10.2k today, but now it’s coming down therefore it’s quiet possible that we may not see those big bets just yet, but given bitcoins volatile nature anything is possible (hopefully it rallies upwards only).
4007  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: US Presidential Election 2020 on: July 27, 2020, 07:09:53 AM
"Illegal immigrants" can't vote, they are illegally there, hell they practically can't even let anyone know they are there, they have to keep quite about it, in order to vote you have to register to vote, how can an illegal immigrant can register to vote if they are illegal?

Illegal immigrants can't vote. That's true. But anchor babies can vote when they become 18 years of age and then they can sponsor their parents as well. Eventually, the entire family becomes US citizens and everyone can vote in the elections. The current wave of illegal invasion started in the 1970s. Most of the first generation illegals have become US citizens by now.

And I don't agree with the argument that illegals need to hide their status. There are sanctuary cities all over the United States (hundreds of them), where it is not possible for the immigration authorities to detain or deport any of the illegals.

@bryant.coleman while illegal immigrants can’t directly vote but they can always alter electoral college results to hand advantage to the Democrats, and that’s why Trump was keen to change the laws relating to illegal immigration. Furthermore in 2019 he had even threatened to release illegal immigrants in Americas sanctuary cities, to strike a political blow. Lastly it’ll be really interesting to see, what kind of effect will these voters actually have on the upcoming elections.

Quote

When President Trump threatened to release throngs of illegal immigrant detainees into America’s sanctuary cities last week, the media and Democrats went bonkers. While the scheme may not pass legal muster, it was “pure genius” as a political ploy.

Quote
No, illegal immigrants aren’t allowed to directly vote for the commander-in-chief yet, but in vast numbers they can dramatically alter the Electoral College to favor Democrats for at least a decade because a state’s electoral votes are based on the number of people residing within that state, not the number of citizens present when the Decennial Census is taken.

What if his return makes him worse? I mean, that has happened often before. Someone comes back to his club and then the pressure is too much for the player.

With this in mind, you can then never sign a player basically Smiley There have been players in the past - Sternkopf and Deisler come to my mind - who folded under the pressure, but in general you can expect pro footballers to deal ok-ish with all the pressure they have; at least performance-wise; what really goes on in their head, you will never know.

I once heard an interview from I think Per Mertesacker, who said, that even the best players are ultra nervous before matches and have to visit the bathroom frequently Wink


@tyKiwanuka it’s pretty normal for a player to feel a bit nervous before the game starts, and that’s because they’re only humans after all, and it is these emotions that later on make them stronger on the pitch. Also many player’s have certain superstitions (rituals) too which they keep on doing for good luck, and again I would repeat that it’s normal for them to do it because even we do it when we’re under pressure.

I’m rooting for Leicester against Man United today; sadly though I think the teams to grab those last two CL places for next season will be Chelsea & Man Utd. Not a bad quartet to rep the PL in next seasons CL, Liverpool, City, Chelsea & United.

It's not bad repping Leicester, each team has to play well to gain entry into next season champions league and europa league places Leicester is starting out with 5 defenders and 2 holding midfielders, which signals defensive actions.

While wolves and Chelsea are going on an all attacking affair, the highest goal scoring team win
I think a United win and a Chelsea draw would be the outcome today

Manchester United have won the match 2 - 0 and they’re back in the champions league (woohoo so very happy), and honestly I can’t believe it that after a sloppy start to this season we have actually finished 3rd in the premier league. Also all credit goes to Ole for bringing in Bruno at the right time, and Leicester goal keeper will have to live with the regret that Jesse Lingard scored against him (I’m praying that Lingard is sold as soon as the transfer window opens).

Hey guys, bitcoin has breached the $10,000 price mark, what's next for this?

Is is another failure or are we already in the bull run?



SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS HERE!

10,000 doesn't really mean much. It has crossed it countless times during this big nothing phase. 10.5 ish is the big one and has been for a long, long time. That could happen tomorrow or it may take the rest of the year.

Short-tern it's a major psychological level, and for a long time Bitcoin failed to maintain it,  so now is a very important time. If we fail to reach and defend it, the price will likely go back to low $9,000 or even lower. But if we succeed, the price might go straight to $12-13k, which was the level of last year's bullish period.

Right now I'm optimistic that we'll have a bullish scenario at least for short term, because the support has been building up for a very long time. Maybe if not for the coronavirus, we'd already be in a more bullish market.

@freedomgo according to the Cointelegraph article this rally has liquidated around $74 million worth of long contracts, and many traders immediately booked profits too due to which the prices came down immediately. Further it seems that the new resistance level for bitcoin prices is around $10k to $10.2k, and unless Bitcoin breaches these levels we shouldn’t get over excited too as these kind of rallies may not last long.

Quote

The price of Bitcoin (BTC) rose to as high as $10,272 on July 26 in an unexpected weekend rally. It liquidated $74 million worth of long contracts on BitMEX alone, catching many traders off guard. There appear to be two main reasons behind the abrupt upsurge of Bitcoin from $9,700 to over $10,200. They are the liquidation of over-leveraged shorts and traders taking profit from over-extended alternative cryptocurrencies (altcoins).

I don’t know about you’ll but it’s been many year’s since I last heard, that Europe’s economy was moving faster than US economy, but thanks to Covid-19 times have changed and Europe’s economy is speeding ahead. Further if US doesn’t stop the spread of Covid, and reopen soon then they may find their economy lagging behind Europe for a long period of time. Lastly what kind of impact will this have for the world?, as we have always looked up to US and it’s $, so do you’ll believe that Europe’s € can make a comeback and replace the $ in the long run?.

Quote

The euro area economy is for once set for a sprightlier recovery from crisis than the U.S., thanks to starkly different responses to the coronavirus. America’s failure to get a grip on the pandemic is putting the brakes on its rebound compared with Europe, where many former virus hot spots managed to resume economic activity without causing a similar surge in infections.

Still it will affect due to the players walking on the pitches, so days passes there will be no grass but better have something other than nothing that is why they choose one stadium to play this tour.

The matches may be held at the same ground. But there is a chance that different set of pitches are used for them. As far as I know, most of the grounds have 2-3 pitches and the curator usually prepare 1-2 additional pitches in addition to the main one. If that is the case, then the concern about the surface deterioration doesn't make any sense.
I am not talking about the deterioration, imagine the pitches were too close to each other so infield players will walk and run over their while fielding which could do some damage to it so it may not act like a fresh pitch even though players were batting on different pitches.
If there is not any Test match schedule on the same stadium in near future then it shouldn't be big issue. unless player intentionally disturbing the other pitch with their own hands, Which is very unlikely.

@JSRAW in my personal opinion no player will try and harm the pitch because if he’s found guiltily of harming the pitch then he would be suspended for few matches, and it would even tarnish his image. Also I believe that ICC would have thought this through and they would be regularly inspecting the pitches, and in any case if a pitch is found unplayable then I’m sure that they’ll request ECB to immediately change the venue.

Tonight's match between Napoli and sassuolu js raising eyeballs, with 4 goals already disallowed by var for sassuolu. Is anyone watching thr match to give a clear overviews? I have high regard for var but 4 disallowed goals is alot.

What do you think?

The match will be on the history books of football  Grin.
Sassuolo deserves more and looks at Locatelli, there is a reason on why top teams want him, he has a clause of 30 milions.

TBH Napoli doesn't care about the game, they are already in UEFA Europe League because they won the Coppa Italia and they can't get more.

You are right, that's why sassuolu bench, coaches and players were fuming in big frustration, something needs to be done with var canceling goals all because of some 0.00001cm, seems sassuolu will end up losing the match, already @90 minutes.

Juventus has it all to do tomorrow, with Sarri having another opportunity to prove his tactics mettle as a top coach, i still feel Sarri will be gone from Turin come October

Inter Milan won comfortably by 3 goals to nil, when you expect them to have a straight win or over 2.5 goals they do ended up playing a goalless draw or loose to opponent.

Sassuolo putting up a fighting spirit but are being denied by VAR, it's so demoralizing morale seeing VAR disallowing three goals. The match might have end up being a draw, buy Napoli won by 2 nil


Var has become a rule that must be accepted regardless of the decision even though it is a lot of number for a goal disallowed, I watch the game but not all the time and I see when there is a goal and even before the var is shown and the fact the goal is indeed offside, I just regret it because Sassuolo did not correct those mistakes because if they could be more careful I was sure Sassuolo would win.

I don’t know if anyone has said it here or no but VAR is broken, and they should limit it’s use in football until all the errors are identified and fixed. Furthermore I had no doubts that Inter Milan would win this fixture, and I’m very happy that Sanchez scored too, and hopefully now Inter Milan will purchase him from Manchester United.

I too am skeptical when someone comes here and says that they turned 0.01 btc into 1 btc, so if possible can you share some proof of your winnings?. @swogerino yea you’re right as I too have seen many tipsters come and go, but since he’s not charging any money let’s see how well he fares in the long term.

PSG striker K. Mbappe just got a very nasty tackle from Saint- Etienne in Coupe de France finale. . I think his season is over. If it happens PSG will be in very bad situation in UCL. They also did a bad tackle on Neymar also. Though he scored on goal already and PSG is leading the game by 1-0. Coach should take off Neymar in the 2nd half. It will be better for them. Also, wish a very fast recovery for Mbappe.


Click the image to see the gif, don't know why the gif is not working.

-snip-
That's horrible and definitely deserves red card. I can feel his pain from here, hope he can recover as soon as possible... I read they have another injury in PSG which is hard to replace.

@Fatemablabla it was indeed a horrible tackle and the referee foolishly gave away a yellow card first, and only after VAR intervened he issued a red card. Also what’s worst was the brawl that followed while Mbappe was down crying in pain, and in that moment all the player’s broke all the rules relating to social distancing.


Atalanta is the most beautiful fairy tale of the last 40 years of Italian football, it reminds me very much of Leicester and Leipzig, but unlike them they don't have the opportunity to win the championship, but in my opinion it will make a great game against PSG and give us a dream, what do you think?


sure, I agree everything you say about this small team with great potential!
I think the chances of winning the cup are very low (for lack of experience) but it will certainly give headaches to the bigger teams ahahaha
I think they will fear it (i hope)

Atalanta in the Champions League reminds me a lot of Ajax from last season. It would be such a great story for them reaching the next round. And I think the way these remaining matches are played out favours teams like Atalanta. At first I can totally see them beating PSG in the quarter finals. Paris is completely out of the playing rhythm and Atalanta is looking very strong since the restart of the Serie A. Then they would face Napoli, Barca or Bayern (don't think Chelsea has a chance against Bayern). Though game but everything is possible. Especially since these last games are played in a tournament-style.

exactly, Atalanta is very reminiscent of last year's Ajax, but Atalanta doesn't have the same glorious history as Ajax, which makes it more fascinating.

Atalanta is a team only a few teams would want to play in europe, irregardless of their history, one certain facts about this atalanta team is that they are going to score against you, to overcome them, psg must plan yo outscore atalanta or risk going to penalty kicks. Psg suffered injury to mbappe and knocks to neymar, hopefully they recover soon to provide necessary firepower for psg

Atlanta have an excellent chance of progressing ahead because Mbappe is almost ruled out of the champions league, hence if they’re successful in neutralising Neymar then they can definitely fancy their chances of progressing ahead.

Government people are starting to wake up regarding the corruption going on in this pandemic.


SCIENCE FRAUD: Florida Gov. DeSantis calls for investigation into why people are testing “positive” for coronavirus tests they never received?



After learning that waves of people who were never even tested for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) received mysterious "positive" results, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, decided to call for an investigation into the matter to get to the bottom of it.

According to reports, Gov. DeSantis has asked the state's Department of Health to look into the situation further. He announced that it makes no sense whatsoever that people who were never even evaluated by a practitioner are now receiving anomalous positive test results that are being used by some to push for more lockdowns and mask-wearing.

"For that to come back positive, when there was no specimen submitted, is problematic," DeSantis is quoted as saying. "So I've heard it enough to be concerned about it."

As we recently reported, many of Florida's testing laboratories have been submitting boatloads of false positives to the official government databases, which has majorly skewed the state's infection statistics.

Now it appears as though people who were never even tested are being told, possibly at random, that they have the coronavirus, which further skews the official statistics and makes it seem as though "spikes" of infection are occurring when they are actually not.

"I asked the Department of Health to look at that because I heard it, too," DeSantis added about these strange anomalies. "If you can give us, if people that have told you that are willing to provide their name, we're interested in investigating this because it's ridiculous."

The official coronavirus narrative is collapsing like a house of cards

Local Florida news affiliate FOX 35 News has confirmed that many people are reporting similar occurrences in their families. People all across the Sunshine State say that they are "testing positive" for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) when they never even got tested, and now they are demanding answers.

"How does someone test positive for coronavirus if they have never been tested?" the news outlet asks. "Reports of this happening have been pouring in to FOX 35 News since we began investigating COVID-19 data."


Cool

@BADecker this is happening in many places as hospitals are trying to monetise this pandemic, but considering that Florida is a Republican state it’s quiet possible that someone is intentionally trying to cause fear, and make sure that the state remains under lockdown and doesn’t open up soon.

In my personal opinion this is done solely to cause harm to Trump re-election bid because if more states continues to remain under lockdown then it’s become more difficult for Trump to revive the US economy, but I won’t be naming anyone yet as there’s not substantial proof to accuse anyone at this stage.
4018  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Trump Wins and Trump Lose tokens from Poloniex on: July 25, 2020, 03:49:48 AM
I’m sure that all of us are planning to wager on the upcoming USA elections, and Poloniex has decided to make ERC-20 tokens wherein you have two options either buy the Trump Wins or Trump Lose tokens, and then make money from the election results. However I don’t understand the line where they say if the opposite candidate (Biden) wins, then the coin value plunges to zero, so how will we make money if we’re holding the other token (Trump Lose one)? can anyone explain this?.

Quote

As ERC-20 tokens, the election assets value $1 or $0, depending on the event’s results. Holding 10 TRUMPWIN tokens value $10 USD if President Trump wins the November election. In contrast, holding 10 TRUMPLOSE tokens plunge to a value of $0 if the candidate wins.

Didn't expect IPL to happen this year which is why this news surprised me. UAE are taking a big risk here just for the sake of financial incentives and I hope the tournament starts and concludes smoothly without any issues due to COVID.

Since you are so concerned of IPL being organised in UAE I think you should watch this video - https://youtu.be/UM1XegvglO0

If I am correct then UAE is the only country that is open to tourism. IPL will conclude smoothly without any issues.
Even in current situation its big risk but I am feeling UAE Authorities are able to handle things as they wanted because they have very strong system they already allow many works to start again as they are doing some good to control this Virus but still its risk and BCCI is also very eager to take this as they also looking big profit not for any safety.

Guys it’s official the IPL is scheduled to begin on September 19th in UAE, and the final will be held on November 8th. @Indymoney I believe that UAE is very strict in implementing covid laws, hence I’m not surprised that BCCI has selected UAE as the destination, and now let’s hope that this tournament starts and ends without anyone testing positive.

Does this look promising guys  Tongue



Possible rain on all five days of the match Lips sealed  I dont think we'll have a result out of this match even with the likes of Board, Anderson, Jofra and Woakes, unless the Windies were stupid enough to throw away the wickets as they did in the last day of the previous test.  
First session ends without any trouble and both teams done good job as West Indies take 2 crucial wickets and England 66 runs now two key men on crease these both can changed things for England if stay on crease for some more time.

@BitSat19 yes so far no signs of rains so that’s good but England have lost Stokes and that’s bad, therefore it’ll be really interesting to see if other player’s will be able to step up or no to help the team set up a big total. @akhjob even if rains limit the playing time I yet feel that West Indies will choke under pressure if they loose few early wickets, and further I have full faith in England’s bowling line-up to take those early wickets. Also I’m once again wagering on England to win this match, so wanted to know what are you’ll predictions for this game?.
