You must find an idiot who does not realize that this is not a game but a mere scam.

Your last post was February 2015, 5 years ago. After 5 years of not posting,  you come and say this site is a scam. You really hate this site alot arent you?  Wink

The site is provably fair, you can verify each bet if you think its a scam. There is a huge difference between saying this site a scam and saying this site has a high house edge

Having a higher house edge compared to most dice site isnt a scam. Sure that you will be losing alot more but its definitely not a scam and you still have a chance to win*

*P.S : Provided that you are really lucky


Could you elaborate please? How it can be a scam while being provably fair?  Huh
If you're referring to the house edge, most of gambling games aren't free IRL. You must pay something to get the right to play or the game uses a house edge, then if you're lucky you'll win otherwise you'll lose your stake, that's it.

@arallmuus that’s an eagle eyed observation and his claims won’t work, because everyone who knows about Freebitco can swear that it’s a legit site. Furthermore I feel that he may have wagered on freebitco after ages, and he may have lost a good fortune out there, and hence he decided to come out here and rant like a upset gambler would do. Lastly in my personal opinion we should ignore his rantings unless he can back them up with proof, but I’m 100% sure he has no proof to back his false claims.

In summary:

- Alexander and Laura Strashny filed income tax return due in 2017, but unable to pay

- they sent IRS letters proposing to pay the liability in iinstallments over a period of 6 years

-  IRS received the proposal recorded it and put in in pending status

- As of December 2018, the outstanding liability + interest exceeded $1 million

- IRS sent petition notice "Intent to Seize Your Assets" and Notice of Your Right to a Hearing.

- Petitioners timely requested a CDPhearing, expressinginterest in an installment agreement (IA) and attaching a copyof their previously submitted Forms 433-A and 9465.  They did notcheck the boxindicating thattheycould not pay the balance, and they did notdispute theirunderlyingliability for 2017.

- SO review the case and saw that they have a huge cryptocurrency investment

- SO eceived from petitioners’ repre-sentative a copy of their 2018 tax return, which reported wages exceeding $200,000, and investment statements showing cryptocurrency assets valued over$7 million.  During the conference the SO noted that petitioners were currently
- 4-[*4] withdrawing$19,000 per month from their cryptocurrency account, and she asked why they could not liquidate or borrow against those assets in order to discharge their tax liabilityin full.

- Lawyers for the petitioners argue that they are unable to draw on their cryptocurrency account to pay their liability.

- On June 25, 2019, the IRS issued a notice of determination sustaining the proposed levy, rejecting petitioners’ request for an IA, and stating that “[l]evyaction is permitted 30 daysafter the rejection.

https://www.ustaxcourt.gov/USTCInOP/OpinionViewer.aspx?ID=12258



There's no denying that the petitioners have money to pay to settled their tax liabilities. But they can't withdraw it in a timely manner, maybe they are waiting for the price to go up and make profit to at least lessen the damage. What are your thoughts on this?

Are you willing to sell your crypto to pay our debts or just go on settle it in months or years?

Cryptocurrency is already under the scanner of government agencies. They have associated it with everything which is illegal.

After reading the story of this couple I am in the conclusion that they are wrong on their part. I have no doubt about it. They should immediately do something to repay their tax.

If they need to sell their crypto assets then they should otherwise, the tax agency would suggest the government that cryptocurrency is a new illegal way for them to abet tax.

It does sound silly but, it will happen for sure.

@Baofeng I’m really baffled as their tax liability was just 1 million plus interest, and they had over $7 million in crypto assets then why didn’t they sell off their crypto’s and clear their dues?, unless they had no real intention of paying their dues which is really shameful considering the fact that they had the required funds to pay off their dues.

@pakhitheboss you maybe surprised to know but bitcoin is legal in USA, hence the government cannot seize their crypto assets by claiming it’s illegal, also is there any link where we can follow further updates regarding this matter?.

Quote

As of February 2020, Bitcoin was legal in the U.S., Japan, the U.K., Canada, and most other developed countries. In the emerging markets, the legal status of Bitcoin still varied dramatically. China heavily restricted Bitcoin without actually criminalizing the holding of bitcoins. India banned banks from dealing in bitcoins and left the overall legal status of cryptocurrencies unclear. In general, it is necessary to look at Bitcoin laws in specific countries.

The sports are back but not really doing anything major, too many games that ended with 0-0 in the previous week and not just premier league (which happened in there too) but in all leagues. I have a feeling that in the past 2 weeks all the games that has been played so far had way too many 0-0 results compared to before the break. I do not have this data but if anyone has that data could you check on average how many times 0-0 games happened in the 5 big leagues of Europe and how many times it has happened since the leagues started back up? There must be some difference for sure. I get that players were staying at home and even if they are working out it is not like the real game so there will obviously be some lack of condition but I wasn't expecting this much failure to convert possessions.

I can only speculate here but my guess for most of the games ending in a draw and with no goals might be due to the training for sure but I believe also the coaching which because of the pandemic I assume was limited. Having the right mind before and during the game is important in order to ensure you're on the ball when it comes to game time, but I doubt their heart is in it without the cheers of the crowd most of the time.

@jostorres yea way too many games have ended in a draw and that has hurt the gamblers, and personally I have lost 5 out of my last 6 bets in the last two weeks due to the majority of those games ending in a draw. @rexxarofmoknathal it’s quiet possible that player’s are yet not ready to play attacking football like they used to, and hence I have decided to be very choosy on which team will I place a bet from now on.

Oh yeah let's all vote Republican or Democrat again. I'm 100% sure that this time, they will change the country.

Jokes aside, are any American fellow forum members considering a vote for Libertarian Party nominee Jo Jorgensen? If so, could you elaborate a bit? You might know I'm passionated by the ideology, but having a real organized libertarian party is something we Europeans can only dream about, and I'm quite curious to hear how the LP campaigns are being run IRL and what people who cast their votes for the LP act and think (politically) IRL.

www.joj2020.com

American here. I probably won't even vote honestly. Its unfortunate to say, but I really don't feel like any of the candidates appeal to me. Biden / Jo doesn't really feel like they would entice me to vote as a voter, and trump is well...trump lol

@friends1980 I don’t think that any American is seriously considering voting for them because they’re not in the limelight, and it’s a direct battle between Trump and Biden. @Fallenkeith75 instead of choosing not to vote I would rather suggest you to go out and vote for NOTA, as it’ll send a clear message to the politicians that they need to do better work if they wish to earn people votes.

9 days to 13 days is a fall, I am not saying they are not profiting, and I keep saying that 13 days for 10 million bet is still awesome just getting a bit worse. Plus this was during the pandemic when everyone gambled more, take a look at all the other websites and you will see that other casinos are getting more and more customers.

The restrictions due to the pandemic are already being relaxed extremely, at least here in Europe, there are hardly any countries with curfews any more, many people are working in the office as usual again and therefore have less time for leisure activities such as gambling.

But one should also not ignore the fact that summer now begins in the northern hemisphere. Traditionally, players now spend less and less time online, hanging out in the open and going on vacation.

So I would not interpret too much into a drop of the rate how fast the next 10 Mio are reached Smiley
Well, there is that dilemma about gamblers, they are inclined to spend more time outside during summer periods and that is definitely a reason why it could get slow in the casino world, but also let's not forget that there is still pandemic going on outside as well.

Just because rules are changing and you are a bit more free to go outside (still with masks I hope) that doesn't mean everyone would be willing to go outside right away. The virus is still out there, there is still no vaccine and the cure helps you if you are semi healthy anyway and if you are old or have important sickness regarding lungs, you are still pretty close to death. At the end of the day casino world should still be a bit higher than usual, before all of this, because many people are still stuck at home even if not for rules but for their health.

@Lakai01 you’re absolutely correct and on top of what you have said I’ll add one more reason why we’re seeing less gambling activity on the site, it’s because of the reopening of the land based casinos hence many gamblers are now spending less time online. @wozzek23 I’m not sure if you have read my thread about Las Vegas casinos reopening, because in that thread I had written how the flight for Las Vegas was fully booked, and there was lots of crowd in the Las Vegas casinos.

McLaren open to sale of F1 team shares to raise finance

Looks like that McLaren also have finance problems .

McLaren is considering selling a stake of up to 30% in its Formula 1 team as it seeks to raise extra finance with which to improve its level of competitiveness.


I believe they made huge mistake in controlling their finances and they overspend.
They had an amazing season last year and they had a lot of profits from this. On top of that when you are a competitive team you can achieve greater deals with your sponsors. I wonder why they failed so much.

@Naida_BR the article clearly states that their funds were hit due to Covid19, and this sale is a strategic move to prepare for next year budget cap of $145 million, and further the funds raised from the sales will allow them to compete with the top 3 cars that race in F1.

Quote

The main McLaren Group has been searching for extra funding in recent months having been hit hard by the Covid-19 crisis and resulting staff furlough. McLaren sees the introduction of the $145m budget cap in 2021 as an opportunity to be on a level playing field with the established top three.

I hope he recovers as this man is for me a true legend having suffered accidents before which led to him being cut both legs.He still continued with the same spirit a sportsman should have and was active in motorsports.This new accident is truly a sad event but I think he will recover as always.

@swogerino there’s a fresh update that his vital signs are stable, but he’s yet not out of danger hence we all should pray for him that he finds the strength to recover quickly from this accident.

I understand all the talks about "it will be done" and "give it some time" but remember it has been about 3 years, so it is a bit too late to ask for time right now, it should have been done long ago, it is too late even today. I am not saying that in a way to blame, what can they do now? I mean the games are not there and it should have been long ago and now looking at it from their perspective how could they just suddenly create something out of nothing?

So, I get that all we can do is wait because development takes time and that is understandable but also boxxob and anyone at bitdice should understand that people do have a right to complain, especially in this situation, doesn't mean we are going to get new games faster just because we complained but it is also a right to complain when you didn't get anything in return of your investment.

Why you people dont know how to read in previous comments? Its said that those changes would really be available soon( might be this year) and its been said for a couple of times already but still repeat the same question all over again.Just want to ask you, are you an investor? If not then its better to stay aside and wait up for the change and as we can see they are adding new slot games and might be the initial step that they are taking
before going to implement big changes.3 years wait is indeed long but considering on the market condition you would surely understand.


@wozzek23 it seems to me that you’re an investor, hence I would recommend you to join the discord channel for Bitdice investors. Also as far as the development is concerned they had to redo a lot of work because they had changed their contractor company, and due to this change there were delays which they hadn’t accounted for. Lastly they want to give you’ll their best product, which I’m sure you’ll appreciate once you’ll see it live in action.


There is a discord channel for investors where progress and information is being relayed to investors. If you are not already a member, I recommend you join for the most up to date information and you can ask questions there as well.

You can join the discord channel at https://discord.gg/EkGbYrH

The preparation process is being carried out as planned. After our completion of the UX/UI templates, we’ve made a weighted decision to change our contractor company. Although this decision did cause a certain delay to initial launch dates, eventually it will certainly have a positive influence on the final version of the product.

Tottenham: 1

May United :1

The match end up draw. I did not expect this at all.

I lost my parlay straight away because of this . I got a parlay for Manchester United, Leicester and Chelsea lol . I cant really say that I am disappointed with result but United did their best , It would have been a different story if it wasnt Lloris as the goalkeeper  Embarrassed

Lots of saves from Lloris. 33 years old and still as good as usual even after few months of not playing because of covid19. Manchester United would probably lose the game if it wasnt for the penalty. Also it would be sweet if the second penalty wasnt cancelled

The draw between Spurs vs Man United is as I predicted, as an Arsenal supporter I am happy with this result. Because both of them lost
a chance to get 3 points, so Arsenal benefit from this. Following that Arsenal will fight Brighton, it should be easy for Arsenal win the match.
And at least it can catch up with Spurs, but I must admit Manchester United are a bit lucky to get a penalty in '81 minutes. If not Spurs can
win the match.


Nope.

I've got this in my pocket , the match supposed to be mourinho 3 points...
Until a disaster come in the last 10 minutes of normal time where VAR checking gives united a penalty and bruno fernandes successfully executed it to make the score equal 1-1.

Yeah classic negative football by mourinho and a classic united late comeback.
One thing that makes me happy are , chelsea are safe on 4th for now and hopefully could catch up Leicester city on 3rd.

@Mcobian I too lost my bet that I had placed on Manchester United for winning this fixture, but I’m not disappointed because I felt that they played really well except for De Gea, who should be dropped for their next game.

@EdenHazard I believe Mourinho too shares your feelings as he wasn’t happy with VAR, but I’m sincerely hoping that Chelsea drops points as I want Manchester United to finish in the fourth position.

Aston Villa will ask  £80m for Jack Grealish.

Insane amount of money for this player. The hope that the transfer sums will normalize as a result of the crisis has probably been in vain. Jack Grealish is a good player, but far from being worth £80 million.
One of the reasons why I like Arsene Wenger £80 ain't a small money, it can buy a good amount of decent players who will fill out the position Jack wanna fill, English players always over hype, if truly Aston villa are demanding for £80 it's either they don't want to sell him or they are just trying to capitalize o on the fact that the club he's going to are in desperate need for him, that sum is absolutely outrageous for Jack

@FlamingFingers Grealish actual value is between £45 - £60 million, and if Villa demand anything above this range, then I feel that Manchester United will immediately drop their interest in purchasing him. Also it’s worth mentioning that his transfer value shall be further reduced if Villa were to be relegated, but we will have to wait till the end of the season to find out if they’re relegated or no.

I'm also thinking of a Valencia upset, but more because I'll breathe a little bit easier if Barca are at least 3 points away from Real, and not just 2 now. So yeah, a point for Valencia would be more than enough for me to smile. Atletico went riot last night, too bad didn't watch it.
In fact I want Real Madrid not to want to be left behind in the game tonight with Valencia at least being able to catch up with Barcelona by one point more.

But for me it will be a very easy victory where they are able to play with the best team like the initial match which is for Real Madrid.

A great win for Sevilla because they won 5-0 at home to the opponent.

Guess you turned out to be right after all. The beginning of the game wasn't so clear cut, and then there was that disallowed goal from Rodrigo, but it really got tight thereon after. Second half hattrick, 12 shots on goal, Real deserved it after all. Bogey team didn't happen for Real too bad.

@slaman29 you’re right as Real Madrid were creating some chances in the first half, but they were lacking the cutting edge, however in the second half they were rejuvenated and played with confidence, which allowed them to dominate the match and secure those vital 3 points.

Also it’s pertinent to note that Asensio who was making his return after a year now, scored a beautiful goal which was really delightful to watch for a Real Madrid fan like me.

Lastly did anyone else saw his goal, and what do you’ll think of his performance as I feel that he can inspire Real Madrid to win the La Liga and Champions League this season?.

UEFA president Ceferin also did not ruled out possibility that fans could attent final games. At least now fans can't attrnd stadiums in Portugal, but there is almost 2 months until games. Situation is gettin better in Europe in general, countries open borders, in some leagues fans can visit stadiums already, so I think it's possible. And it would be great. But I imagine that ticket price would be freaking expensive if limited number of fans would be permitted.
https://www.bt.com/sport/news/aleksander-ceferin-unsure-if-fans-can-attend-champions-league-games

They will do EVERYTHING they can do make the crowd attendance happen at the finals. It's more about saving face though if they pull it off and they will by lobbying every political agenda they can, they will get promotions, bonuses, contract extensions etc. 2 months is a long time. By that time all the leagues are over and everyone will be looking forward to spend.

In UEFA everything is about money 😁😁
Of course,  they will earn a lot from marketing rights,  TV etc.  but they will not give up opportunity to earn also from tickets sold to fans.


I don't know about UEFA and there love for money, but what I know is this, the plan to make the next knockout phases a one legged matches -proves they have acknowledgement of the pandemic situation- if something comes up before the finale matches -even a more limited lockdown- then few tickets can be sold -VIP, ex-players- UEFA would not risky anyone's health for the finals of the UEFA champions league.

@Daniel91 UEFA has always been greedy for money I knew that, but risking the life’s of people just to earn few extra bucks is really sad, and I hope that the authorities will deny them the permission to allow fans inside the stadium. @BIT-BENDER selling tickets to ex players too is a bad idea as it’ll set a precedent that all other league’s will follow, and what happens if those ex players have covid and it’s discovered later don’t you think that’s it’s a risky idea?, hence I’ll once again repeat that no fans should be allowed in the stadium.

In the last 24 hours, the price of Bitcoin attempted to break below $9,270 in a rapid sell-off from $9,400 to $9,240. Immediately after it hit $9,240, BTC bounced strongly to as high as $9,450.

If you are a long time holder then it's 1 BTC = 1 BTC :-D

Anyway, I think it does not matter if it breaks $9,270 and fall all the way to below $4k or see a new ATH as long as you are not a short time trader.

Here is a weekly chart and I do not see any immediate danger yet.


@eskider first of all this thread belongs in the speculation section so I would recommend you to move it there, secondly a drop of $200 is not a major reason for us to worry, as we have seen drops of $1000 and yet we haven’t sold our coins.

^ Retiring at certain age from the test cricket is widely accepted and no one bats eyes on the players in that case, problem arise when quality bowlers like Amir take retirement at early age. This is not good sign for test cricket and sets a bad precedent IMO.
Amir was not performing like he used to after returning after the ban, his swing is gone and he was not that effective but he was bowling decently in the shorter format because he still has the pace and that might have forced him to retire rather than the cricket board dropping him in Test.

Any idea when Test cricket will return, since there are no matches how about the Test championships, will they delay the finals for that.
He's only 28 year old, played around 35ish test matches so i would say yeah he took retirement way to early. 1 bad season is not correct excuse, when everyone knows he took retirement only because of limited over cricket. Try Imagining Starc, Bumrah, Rabada taking retirement for T-20.

Next month : Windies vs England

And not much clarity on WTC final due to pandemic.


Players have the freedom to do that, and there is hardly anything the cricket boards can do. T20 format is the money churner now and obviously a lot many of the players are going to skip the demanding test format for the shorter formats. If the boards want to attract players to test format, then they need to increase the salary and benefits by many times. Nowadays no one want to play just to enter the record books.

^^ If money is the only driving force and records/respect/representing the country are not priority then why not announce a retirement from the international cricket completely? Become a mercenary cricketer and play in every T-20 league similar to Windies players?

@JSRAW I don’t think that money was the motive behind Amir’s retirement, because he would never get to play in IPL or any big league because of his past mistakes (match fixing). Lastly I’m not sure if you’ll read this article or no where he clearly specified that he could not take the work load of playing in all formats, and hence he decided to quit Test cricket, and I feel that he’s correct to play less formats and keep himself fit for the long run.

"I can't roll back that lost time but I can manage my workload to extend my career as much as I can. With every passing day I'm getting older and I know fans want me to play. But if you look rationally I'm human and not an iron man. My passion is still there and I want to be there for fans, serving the country for a long time."

Interesting news Ladies...

South Africa trying to pull a rabbit out of a hat and experimenting with the new format called "3TeamCricket" 3 teams (8 players each) playing against each other in the same match hahaha seems fun.

Experimental three-team format to kick off South Africa's return to cricket

Here comes complexity in cricket :-P
Unique idea but not sure many people will understand it. I do not find any excitement though.

Did anyone notice that PL has already started from yesterday?
Good news is now we have Soccer in all European countries and Cricket is also going to start after 20 days in England but sad news we will not able to have these sports in 2020 as Corona is doing his own business and its not going to end in near future.

I am up for every weird innovation so i am excited for this one as well. I don't follow football so nope  Undecided

@Royse777 my head started to spin after reading so many rules hence I guess this league is not for me, but it’ll be interesting to see how the general public views it, and further it seems that they already have found a fan/viewer in @JSRAW. Lastly I’m excited for the Premier League to begin as I can’t wait for Manchester United vs Tottenham match because then I’ll finally get to see Pogba and Fernandes link together, and hopefully win my bet too that I have placed on Manchester United.

Hey, I have peacefully plea for the international community! Do not nuke Finland!

Why finnland sucks and no one is sure it exists, there are rumers there is a sea there.

@Hannu why have you written one line only?, and why would Russia or any other country nuke Finland, when everyone knows that’s Finland is a peaceful country?. Furthermore is this thread in response to Trump’s statement where he had had inquired was Finland part of Russia?, if yes then please be more specific so all can give their opinions below.

The country has also been previously ranked among the countries with the highest quality of life by the Legatum Institute's Prosperity Index and among the most peaceful countries in the world by the Global Peace Index.

Congrats on Napoli for winning the Coppa Italia!
Not the best match ever played. Both teams had some chances and Napoli had a big chance on the end of regular time. So penalties it was (always fun to watch) and Napoli came out as winner (4-2).
I have never thought that Napoli can win against Juventus in the final match. It is a surprising win of Napoli even they made it in penalty shootouts. Who knows the defeat in Coppa Italia is a signal of the end of Juventus domination in Italy over nearly one decade. The race to Serie A title is so tight between Juventus and Lazio, let's see.
Didn't watch the match but thought that Juventus gonna make it. The first 2 penalties of Juve were missed, one of it by Dybala... Although it is a win by penalty kicks but congratulations to Napoli!
Missing first 2 penalties is never good because it results in huge pressure on next players who are responsible for the third and fourth rounds.

Congratulations Napoli for the first title they have after many decades, in Italy.

it is difficult to predict which team will perform and how after a long and tiring break. Juventus may not have reached a sufficient level in the preparation process. But we cannot say that this affects their dominance. Only one battle lost, the war continues.

@hd49728 it was indeed a boring match and I had expected more from Juventus, but maybe you’re right under Sarri leadership they may just loose the league title too, as he’s yet to win a domestic title in his managerial career. @vycl87 Juventus have constantly underperformed this year and if Sarri fails to win the league title, then he’ll probably be sacked, and my gut feeling tells me that even he knows it that he’ll be sacked if he doesn’t win the league title.

@RealMalatesta @panjul07 I’m sharing few links of the past competitions that were conducted at at Bitdice, and I feel that they can repeat some of these competitions as everyone had liked them however please feel free to post some more suggestions. In addition to the below links I’ll agree that slots game competition is a nice idea, and if it’s possible arrange competitions for the sportsbook too e.g. for Football matches or Tennis games or even E Sports as those are popular too.
Slot games are not really "new games" as in having a new sort of game. Normally it is something new obviously and you could do it to have a bit more fun on something new so I understand the logic behind it, but I mean having like a different type of game.

These are just slot games where we already have slots and add new ones, I mean adding something totally different and brand new that doesn't exist on the website all together. Don't get me wrong I love slot games and the more the merrier for me in those games, well I do not but my wife really loves them, slots are their favorite games so whenever a new one is added she spends hours on there every single day since she loves them. But just because they are new, doesn't mean it is a new game, it is just a new version of an old game.
'
On point!

Adding new slots games isnt the same on adding a new game literally into your site.I cant blame out those investors who had been keep complaining about

new updates or progress on the site.This might be an another topic to discuss on but they do actually have the point.They do need something new which can

potentially bring back players on the site and make themselves do benefit  on it.

I understand your views and this question was answered yesterday by @BoXXoB in Bitdice chat, and he has given a new update too that more games will soon be added to the site and this is just the start. Further he’s also spoken about the possibility of video poker being added to the site, hence you’ll just need to give team Bitdice some more time as they’re working on lots of stuff. Lastly you’ll can of course post your suggestions for new games, and competitions below and if it’s possible I’m sure that they’ll implement your requests.

To answer the questions in a few previous posts - there are various contests planned to be held before the launch of the fully revamped BitDice website (and, of course, after the launch too).

The aforementioned contests will indeed include more wager competitions.

Speaking about contests, what other types of events you would like us to run in support of the launch of BitDice 5.0? Please feel free to share your thoughts in this thread.
I would say wagering competitions would be number one, even though I am not rich enough to join them myself I would love to watch people who could wager over 10 bitcoins to race each other to the top and sometimes even go berzerk to become the first would be awesome. Secondly there could be tournaments of games where everyone has chances.

There could be promotions where it is free to enter but there is a huge rollover so whoever wins must be very very lucky. There could be all sorts of different new games that we could gamble which is really what I am waiting for on the new place.

Promotions are dime a dozen but having new games are very very entertaining, we get bored from all the games we play and they become old things, with the new games not only we love to play on the new games, we are going to also enjoy the old ones since we will miss them too.


You have many games to play including the 3rd party provider's games so it can be a good advantage as you can give various promotions based on the games.
For the slot games I can suggest something like deposit bonus, slot competition (to hunt for big multiplier).
All in all, as long as you can offer more regular contest, it will be better.

A few new slots were recently added.



Thanks Alex these slot games design looks really nice, and it’s pertinent to note that even in such difficult times due to covid development work hasn’t stopped at Bitdice.
