Better put the focus the development on their current games.

Considering adding sportsbetting will have a time soon.
I never intended to mean it like never look at sportsbooks neither, if wolf.bet wants to add anything they could add anything in the future, or tomorrow if they feel like they are ready, it is all depending on when they want to.

I just wanted to mean, they have an AMAZING name, wolf.bet is a unique and cool looking name with absolutely no connection to any game at all, many places have names like somethingdice.com thisisdice.com and stuff like that where it has dice in it and they still add other games anyway, wolf.bet is a name that could have ALL casino games you can imagine from simplest dice to most complex games.

All I am saying is, when you are a casino it takes a while to adjust everything, there are whales who lose big but there are ones who win big, it is not a steady stream of income, but when you have that base, they could slowly work over a decade to add games, there is no rush.

It is not shocking that crypto could be used for legal loopholes like this. Humanity started using bitcoin for drug dealing looong before they did anything else with it, you could have bought weed with bitcoin and ship it anywhere in the world inside a book for years before people looked at bitcoin and said "maybe I should buy and hold this to make a profit".

Iran is doing national level of this, they are not doing anything illegal in the sense of drug dealing, but sanctions by USA is something they can't overcome with dollars or anything else, so instead they could use crypto to overcome that and not like USA could sanction crypto, it has no nationality which shows the world that small time drug dealers could use it for illegal stuff but as you can see whole governments can do that too.
4163  Economy / Economics / Re: Better Days ahead for the economy of developing countries in Africa on: October 31, 2020, 12:31:20 PM
There is a lot more for Africa to recover from compared to just money. The sad part about Africa (and not just Nigeria, I mean all of Africa) is that you can spend 10 trillion dollars tomorrow and you are not going to suddenly make it like Europe, you can spend 100 trillion or even more and you won't have that, what they need is not sudden influx of money but more about building from what they have into something much bigger over long period of time and not just financially neither.

It is a continent ridden with dictators in the past (and maybe even today) that has been struck by a lot of trouble environmentally as well with drought as well, so it is going to take a loooong time before they can recover, you can have president of everything be African and it will still take decades of carefully planned improvement in the region to get it to a higher standard of living.

Binance and CZ has this kind of power, it could pump you right away but this is something else. If CZ came out and said that he is supporting this new token or something it would have been crazy, and it would have gone up as well but it would have been pure speculation and in many parts of the world that is illegal as well yet it would work.

However this is totally else, this is actually putting your money into it and because they invested into it people invested as well seeing them invest. It is like a Warren Buffet effect in stock market, when you hear him buying a stock you buy it too which makes it go up for him and for you because that dude is rarely wrong. This is why I believe binance is just way too good for us, they are just a blessing in the crypto world.

There is too much technical stuff written in the first message, and I understand that if you know these and you can read these you should totally do that and see if the project is as valuable as the team usually says, most of the time it is not and they do not even know what they are talking about.

I have faced a person who wanted to have a gold backed stablecoin who didn't know how to explain how they are going to back it with gold, the simplest question that could have been asked and they made a whole scene in a telegram group about this question and how it was "unsupportive without cause" for me to ask that question. Sometimes if you can do that do these technical stuff, but sometimes when you do not know what to look at, just look at the team and you will find the problems.
4166  Economy / Economics / Re: Will the Digital Yuan makes China even more powerful? on: October 30, 2020, 06:56:14 PM
it will only be one way for their government to have control on their citizen's money for it will still be centralized and digital which their central bank will still have full access to it to know the status of exchanges and tradings within the country. Sadly if they will just accept digital yuan in exchanges then local traders of china will definitely have a difficult time in the global market for it could also change the perception of the globe towards the digital yuan of china as well.
What the real goal here could be to be able to exchange their dollar profits into Chinese yuan back again this way in order to make their own currency more scarce and valuable whereas dollar a lot less valuable. Let's be honest China takes trillions from american companies and those American companies sell it back to whole world for 2x and that is a good deal for USA because they double their profit and good for china because they get trillions and not so bad for the world because they get products.

However China only gets dollars, they have so much dollars in many forms cash,bonds,treasury,stocks and many many other forms that I think it would be understandable if we would say they want to get rid of it. How could they? They could spend their dollars to buy bitcoin, and exchange that bitcoin and use Chinese yuan to sell it to other nations instead of accepting dollars they could use digital currencies and trade it.

Some americans are obsessed with punishing US big tech and retailers like amazon with unions, taxes and regulation. They believe billionaires like Jeff Bezos are evil and must be punished. This in theory will lead to a better and brighter future. Europe and asia on the opposite end of the spectrum, are often obsessed with giving their corporations and private sector as many advantages as possible. They want to grow their corporations into monopolies, rather than punish them for achieving this. The disparity in economic policy could outline a future where united states markets decline, with european and asian markets rising to fill their place.

The united states is (I think) the only nation in the world that severely punishes and breaks up corporations for having monopolies under anti trust laws.

There is a real possibility americans could soon succeed in destroying their own corporate giants.  
I have never seen a post that is as wrong as this one and it comes from you, someone I dearly admire and look up to, so it shocks me to see it. Regulations and taxes are not there to prevent these companies from becoming huge, it is there because if Amazon workers needs food stamps to survive, that means they are not paid well enough, whereas amazon pays zero federal taxes yet all the roads that lead to their warehouses were made by it.

The idea of regulations and taxing properly is not there to punish, these are things that should be for everyone's best interest, amazon is not evil at all, it is just bad business for anyone to collect all that money from everyone and give it to one person, it shouldn't be like that at all. Europe also has one of the highest rates of taxes so I have no idea why you would consider them a bad example, they are great with how amazing their tax system works.

they might consider on adding up some sports into the site just like what happened on other sites as well but for now if people are really that interested on betting on sports then
we do have lots of options to take on.
Adding sportsbook is obviously a big step but why start with such huge stuff? I mean you could always find a ton of regular casino games that could attract gamblers as well, there is no rush into becoming huge.

There are websites where there is 5000+ readymade (which I think looks all exactly same after a while) slot games, 100+ different casino games, live dealers, online poker, sportsbooks and much more all at the same place and they are HUUUGE, but do you really think they started with either that big that quickly with nothing or did they grow from smaller to bigger? More often than not casinos become that huge either by slowly making profit from their operations, or they just start with incredibly big capital, which is why I believe it is vitally important we let wolf.bet do it the way they please.
4169  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: October 30, 2020, 04:15:01 PM
I do not believe that it about success all that much, it is both a bit about success which he was decent and understandably not resign material, but it was about the drama. Drama also creates a lot of attention and free marketing so I would say it could have been profitable for everyone too, media talks about it and makes money, team sells Messi jersey for support of him and makes money extra (not like they ever stopped selling Messi jerseys lol) and president keeps getting his name out there as well to get more and more known.

However he had to resign because he was president of a team that didn't liked him, not the fans, not the players, not even the staff, maybe other management. So at the end of the day I suppose he resinged instead of being a president of a team that hates him.
4170  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will 2017/2018 Bullrun repeat in 2021? on: October 30, 2020, 03:25:33 PM
That year was something else, it could technically happen of course but I doubt we will ever see a 2 month period that is ever similar to that in our lives in bitcoin.

Sure there could be some sort of situation where altcoins could go up that much, but we are talking about a minimum of 20x increase in bitcoin in a 2-3 month period and that means today price is let's say 13k that would make it 260k by the time new year comes, do you think that could ever be similar?

It would be impossible in my mind, sure technically possible but there is no way in hell people would buy all the way up to 260k per bitcoin. This is why 2021 will be decent and good, I still invest into bitcoin, I believe the future is crypto, yet even I do not think that the bull run could ever be similar to 2017 ever again.
4171  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Stays Above USD 13,000, Altcoins Take Hit on: October 30, 2020, 02:34:36 PM
Altcoins usually go up with bitcoin ever since the BCH deal, that was about summer of 2017 and before that whenever bitcoin went up, altcoins went down because it was only bitcoin that got affected from the hype and others didn't. Ever since those days, people see bitcoin as a way to get involved with crypto, if bitcoin could x2 soon, that means another coin could 10x and that is why people moved to altcoins a lot during hype periods to make the most out of a bull run.

This time around it wasn't like that at all, it was more about how bitcoin went up because of a great news and doing great but people didn't see any reason at all why altcoins should go up too, it was nothing to do with altcoins so they didn't move to that. Hence I believe this isn't a forever thing but a situational thing.
4172  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Toyota IT Division to Launch Own Digital Currency on: October 29, 2020, 04:08:29 PM
This is more of a great news for the blockchain world and not for crypto world, which normally sounds like they are the same thing but they are not the same thing at all. Nowadays there are many blockchain companies and they do allow people to actually make a development or a software and they sell that to others for use, there is no token or coin needed or even if there is it is just for show and not for monastery reasons, it is more like a server that is online for them, an improved version of cloud computing, and not something to trade.

So, this is more like that and I believe before Toyota, there should be a lot of banks and other financial companies that needs to check blockchain tech, it would help them decrease costs a lot and would allow them to be faster and more organized.
4173  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Unacceptable attitudes from new project teams on: October 29, 2020, 03:21:04 PM
I believe there are tons of bounty managers in the forum anyway, so there is no reason to not work with them, they are quite good enough to be actually valuable for everyone in the end, if you could pay them the money beforehand they would look like escrow but at the same time they are going to work for you as well, you are not only giving them the money to distribute but you are also paying them a salary to work for you as well. That way you would get your requirements ready, whatever social media or wherever else you want bounties you would give the list and you will just sit back and relax and watch people work, it is hassle free and it will not take more than 24 hours to get an agreement with a bounty hunter neither.

This is a great deal but many shady projects decline it for obvious reasons.
4174  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Half bread is better than none on: October 29, 2020, 02:28:20 PM
You should always try to see none as an option, because if you do not see none as an option, they will make sure that your half bread is standard and nobody should expect a full bread. If you focus on the small givers and half empty promises and basically just bad practices just because you made 20 bucks that month thanks to it, instead of 50 bucks you got promised, you can't just say "well 20 bucks is better than 0" because that means "20 bucks is fine when promised 50 bucks" as well, and people will use that.

This is the reason why try to get all of your bread, try to make sure you got everything you earned, and if not do not shut up about it just because you got paid a little, that is a shut up money and not what you deserved, you should still continue to complain and accuse the people who didn't give you the full bread.
4175  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why waiting candle to close is important? on: October 29, 2020, 12:58:14 PM
Obviously studying these indicators and patterns are the hard part, you are not going to be able to understand what is what that easily, you are not going to just be able to read some books and see some charts and suddenly become someone who is a master at this, you are going to take a long time to even be decent at what you are doing for few years before you could actually feel comfortable with reading the charts.

However when you reach that level it becomes easier to make a profit, even the master traders who keep profiting over course of years do have some bad days and lose money, not every trade will be great even after you become an expert, but when you are a veteran that can see stuff without too much work, you will end up with more profits than losses, so overall will be a profit.
4176  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What do you really need in your trading? on: October 29, 2020, 10:44:56 AM
Of course being able to trade for yourself without any outside help would be the greatest start you could have, not like many people would get that very quickly, but you could potentially have a start for it and that is where the real money starts trickling down. When you have only 1k dollars invested and barely make 20% a year you get 200 dollars, but if you keep that up for 20 years you are getting closer to retirement, this is not a get rich overnight system, this is a retire early system which is what you should focus on.

Do not worry about losses you could make along the way, you could lose some of that and I would say you could regain that just as quickly too if you know what you are doing. So my suggestion is to get started, make a little now, and try to be consistent about it.
4177  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is DeFi really a threat to centralized finance? on: October 28, 2020, 05:14:08 PM
Things can co-exist together, not all the market takes a share from other markets, sometimes they create their own market which means there is also no need to be worrying about cex and dex or cefi or defi being so different from each other but growing all at the same time, because they can co-exist together.

Literally this is not something I would be knowledgeable about to comment on in an official situation, I am not an expert at all, I have been in crypto world for over 8 years now and I can tell you one thing I learned ; anyone can be wrong. However look at all the crypto coins coming into the market, they grow and become big, but bitcoin keeps growing big at the same time as well, one going up doesn't make the other one go down, hence I believe defi and others could do the same.
4178  Economy / Economics / Re: Will the Digital Yuan makes China even more powerful? on: October 28, 2020, 03:57:40 PM
China doesn't need money to be powerful, they already have everything they could potentially need for world power, that is not what they are looking into in order to become the top dog in political stance.

The problem they have right now is they want to do stuff other nations wouldn't, like kill their own people, slave their workers, make the ccp or whatever the hell government is called richer and more powerful and be the best dictatorship in the world even more than Russia, which means they need other nations to shut up about it, that is all they need, if other nations accept china this way, they could do all those bad things and never face any problems, but other nations are not fine with it, so having a digital yuan wouldn't suddenly change that at all.
4179  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🚀 Sportsbet.io - Official betting partner of ARSENAL FC 🚀 on: October 27, 2020, 07:05:23 PM
Looks like Juventus and Barcelona games got a lot more closer than it should have been. We all know that Juventus would have been a lot better team if they had Ronaldo, not just because of Ronaldo vs Messi type of discussions since I am sure everyone would at least agree that they are very close in talent and shown this for more than a decade now, but it is more about Juventus being much better team than Barcelona as of right now, in fact they are so much better that right now without Ronaldo Juventus is still quite close with only 2.74 to 2.5 odds which is basically same in most cases and not much difference.

Hence I would say surprise for that game would be Juve, I already wagered 10 bucks on them and I think they are going to pull an upset without Ronaldo, Barcelona is just too bad these days.

I believe that we have those experiences, and I am sure that many of us losing big money in gambling. It is natural to feel angry and upset when we lose because that is the first expression we did when we got something bad.

But we can not blame the casino because we decide to play with big money or for some time, so we need to introspect what we did before. We need to be wise in gambling. Otherwise, we will lose all the money we have without waiting for too long.
That is exactly what I am saying with that post, it is understandable to be mad and upset over a loss, but that can't be the only thing we could focus on when we lose, you can't just start blaming others for your loss. The problem with this is the fact that it shows the hubris or denial of people as well, a casino comes up and says "if you bet 100 dollars and win we will give you 99 dollars and if you bet and lose we will get all that 100 dollars, that 1 dollar difference is our profit" and clearly explain to you that you will lose in the long run, what do people do?

Well, they keep trying to find "methods" that will go over that and win forever. Whenever they end up losing they keep going "it can't be because of me, I did everything right!!!" and that is really sad, you could have done nothing to begin with because the whole system is not like that.
