Impressive GUI. Games are fun as well. Too bad you don't have any investment options Luckybit doesn't have an investment option since it started in 2013, but i heard there is under development an affiliate program, i know that is not the same as invest but it would be nice to let users win from their referrals. If you have a big amount of bitcoin and would like to become an investor you can try to contact the LB support, If you only want to invest 0.001BTC then is a waste of time for all. I see. Well affiliate programs don't interest me that much, only investments. I'll watch them closely and see if there's a deal to be made @seoincorporation you have explained the situation really well, and if LB does launches an affiliate program then it’ll be a instant hit, as many people would promote their site aggressively to earn free money. ... They didnt open that option since they are already capable in terms of funding since from the start. gui is the best, this place has soul... +1 . A gui like no other .. True, since luckybit started in 2013 the site has enough BTC to pay its customers. I have seen more than 1 user walking away with more than 100 btc when that amount was the max win in the site. Now the max win is 15 btc on a single bet, and if someone wants to hit it multiple times on a single day, LB has enough Bitcoin to pay them. We can be sure of that. Also I don’t think anyone here will question LB capability to pay it’s user’s as they have a proven record of paying their user’s on time, but this explanation should clear any doubts arising in new user’s mind who’re playing at LB for the first time.

There is someone who comes up here and talks about the "high" 5% house edge once in a while, they always come and they are always here, it is almost always different people that sees it and thinks that they are the only person that noticed it and comes in here and writes about it and suddenly everyone will leave realizing what the mistake they have been doing.
Nobody realizes the fact that this website has been raking in cash ever since it started even with the 5% house edge with multiple people who have gambled over hundreds of bitcoins every single day. Of course the side income from everything else easily compensates the 5% house edge, you are not only getting the gambling potential of winning part of the deal but you are getting a million other things with it which makes it worth to gamble on 5%. People who gamble here knows this, newbies keeps questioning it without really getting into it.
I don't think that most casinos revenues comes from the house edge. I am pretty sure that its the people that martingale their accounts which end up with most profit for the casinos. Its basically taking advantage of peoples fear and greed. Physical offline casinos are no different. The house edge has little difference when you got like 14 reds in a row while trying to do a 50/50 dice roll, on the 15th roll which might be a loss again usually the gambler ends up gambling their entire account and goes bust. Pretty sure a large amount of gamblers are like this. @SquallLeonhart this topic was discussed few days ago and @TheQuin made a nice revelation, that Freebitco edge is actually lower than what it looks like once you add up reward points, golden tickets etc which are there on their site. @adaseb theoretically speaking most of the casinos should be earning majority of their income from the house edge, but practically I have never studied any casinos income sheet hence you maybe right too. If you add the lottery ticket factor given each 500 satoshi wager, the house edge of this site is actually lower than 5% Then add the reward points, golden tickets, referral commissions, free rolls and bonuses and you'll find we are very competitive against the 'low house edge' sites.

I've been betting for two years now and I wanted to share my tips with you.
Do you have any statistics from your betting activities over the past two years (screenshots from directbet for example)? Would be helpful to assess whether you are more successful than the average joe. Good point although I don't think that will help. Maybe I'm too sceptic but I.just don't believe to such tips, especialy if they are given for free. Maybe this player have good and honest intention and wants to help the others, which is rare, but I just don't have confidence. Probably because of my bad experience. @tyz that’s an eagle eyed observation as those stats would be really helpful if someone is keen to follow his tips, also I’m hoping that he’ll post some of his recent stats too, which we can then verify and build our opinion about his tips. @bitbunny it’s fine till he’s posting it for free and not trying to dupe people by posting random tips, and lastly I’m pretty sure that people will do their own research too before following his tips.

It was just few days ago that we were witnessing bitcoin prices trade between $9500 -$9900 levels, and there was a strong feeling among us that Bitcoin prices would soon cross $10k levels and stabilise there, but sometimes we all tend to forget that bitcoins prices are never stable and today when it slipped towards $9k, people began claiming that it’ll drop to $8k levels. However those people will be disappointed to know that bitcoin prices are not dropping to $8k levels, in fact they’re already rising on preev and currently bitcoins are trading at $9100 levels. The moral of this story is not to sell your bitcoins because it’s falling or because people are claiming that it’ll fall, rather one should assess the situation and then hodl on to their coins, as they’ll be rewarded in the long run for holding their bitcoins. Lastly what are your thoughts on the current price situation, as I feel that bitcoin prices won’t drop below $9k levels, but what do you’ll think is it possible that we shall see bitcoin prices drop below $9k levels?.

^ And less races evens it out a bit between the two. I'm feeling better about Verstappen's chances of getting more points rn. Lol. Does he really want to break Schumacher's title that bad tho? I don't get that kind of impression from him.
And I think the fewer number of races is good for my bet with LTU_btc: Leclerc (him) vs Verstappen (me), who finishes the season with more points.
Well... Every driver is like a cannibal, they want to eat it all. He probably can't say it because of the delicate situation of Schumacher but you know to be the legend you need to beat the previous legend. About the fewer number of races, not sure about it, the plan is to do 18-19races if the situation on Americas will improve. Yeah I guess... Since it could make his next contract even more lucrative. @tokeweed I hope that this time round you won’t be jinxed since you have publicly revealed that you’re placing your money on Verstappen, and I have to admit that both the drivers have an excellent chance of winning, hence I’ll be keenly following these two to see who wins this bet. Furthermore I’m not aware if you’ll remember this or no but Schumacher had predicted back in 2008 that Hamilton will be the one to break his record, and it seems that this year Hamilton can finally break his record. Speaking to the BBC’s Inside Sport program, Schumacher said, “I would say, absolutely, yes [Hamilton could win seven titles].”
^And I won't be jinxing myself by sharing my picks this time.
I see somebody is already trying to jinx my luck... -_- Stop it. Source: https://www.essentiallysports.com/lewis-hamiltons-dominance-in-f1-was-predicted-by-michael-schumacher-even-before-he-was-a-world-champion/

2. No or slow development. Just to pick an example, according to the ICO prospectus roadmap we should have Sports Betting in Q2 2018. It's 2 years later now and there's not even a preview for Sports Betting. As far as I know at least 80% of the features promised for 2018 aren't implemented yet.
Sportsbook exists and has existed for probably almost a year now. You need to be logged in to see it, but it's there. It is not working for awhile, at least for me. https://i.imgur.com/VTGvTX1.png?1It breaks every so often (I believe the issue is on BitDice's end and not their provider) but it does/did work. Here's a bet placed two days ago: Sportsbook is currently working. There was a temporary issue due to the provider making a change without informing BitDice, but it was fixed as soon as Bitdice was informed of the issue. I've already written in the official BitDice Topic, but since it gets filled with nonesense I thought I started a new topic dedicated to my fellow investors.
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@DarkStar_ yea at times their sportsbook does go down but just a clarification for all that this happens only when their provider makes a sudden change and fails to inform them, and this has been confirmed by them in their chats and @kolloh statements above too confirm this. @jokism299 @pascal257 you’ll won’t have to wait much longer now to see the development at Bitdice, and further Alex has also confirmed that new competitions will be launching prior and post the new sites launch, hence if you two really care for the site then how about suggesting some good competition ideas in the main Ann thread?. 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.

This statement sounds logical for the ashes series, where spectators and players sledge each others all the time but for this series Meh! Its home ground for England so they have edge due to obvious reason. Last time Windies humiliated English team in their backyard now its England's turn. England is in much better shape now, and in all probability they'll extract revenge against the West Indians. West Indies have toured England dozens of times. But the 2000 series is still fresh in my mind. Back then, West Indies had players such as Courtney Walsh, Sir Curtly Ambrose, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Brian Lara and Chris Gayle. Perhaps that squad was the strongest ever sent to England by West Indies. But despite that, they lost the series to England 1-3.
@vishnu.reang I believe that West Indies are showing signs of over confidence and arrogance with their statements, and this is not a good sign for them as their sole priority should be on winning the upcoming series, rather than indulging in unwanted banter with the England player's. @JSRAW yea it’s obvious that England will start as the favourites due to the home ground advantage, but it’s pertinent to note that both sides player’s will be rusty too, as they haven’t played competitive cricket in quiet a while now, hence anything can happen in this series.

Why is bitcoin worth so much ?
Bitcoin price $9,442.51 coinmarketcap Ethereum $236.39 coinmarketcap
1.Btc transaction fees are high 2.Btc takes like 10 minutes - 1 hour to confirm 3.It has no smart contracts support 4.No tokens support Etc etc ...
Where does the value of bitcoin come from ? I don't understand the logic behind the valuation ...
@spy100 this topic has been discussed multiple times over the years now, and you need to understand that Bitcoin is the original crypto, and rest coins like Ethereum are alt coins, and therefore people will never consider them above bitcoins. The trust that has been gained by Bitcoin in millions of traders and miners that altogether have imparted on a cryptocurrency and Bitcoin is the largest cryptocurrency that the value determined by the demand and supply.
Now, if you worried about the transaction fees, it is natural in Bitcoin to have fees to pay miners every time transaction to be confirmed. I think you need to understand the word volatility that makes Bitcoin worth it so much to the eye of crypto enthusiast's holders that choose to hold Bitcoin than spending. Others also think that through the decentralized infrastructure of Bitcoin by making direct money transfers quick and have transparency are the most they like, and the fee is doesn't matter to them, IMO.
However, if everyone knows how to use Lightning Network to apply in Bitcoin transactions, we can help to lessen the fees and have faster transactions.
@sheenshane you have explained very well about the fees issue, and in my personal opinion it totally depends when you transfer as I have personally transferred $100+ and paid few cents in fees, and further I have seen whales transfer big amounts and pay small fees for their transactions using bitcoins.

Normally it's 45 days tournament ( 60 games). Due to pandemic BCCI started working on shorter version of IPL as backup plan in case pandemic gets worse. Short version is all about getting things done ASAP so less numbers of games for each team (5-7 games per team). As of now there is no restriction on foreign players.
If I remember correctly, we had 1 or 2 matches daily. I think they can still conduct the tournament without reducing the matches but only reducing the days. For instance , they can have 4 matches daily in different stadiums at the same time. This can reduce the tournament to 15 days only instead of 45. As far as I can tell 4 matches at the same time is not good option due to logistics in current situation and economically it seems bad choice, as there would be no spectators in stands and then there is telly audience angle too, which plays big part. Franchise want maximum number of audience in front of telly when their team is playing. 4 games at the same time formula goes completely against it. Summarizing it will conclude that Franchise want maximum profit from the IPL. So they will not look at the options which will resume the games but will dent on their profits. That's what I understand from this approach. @JohnBitco while you’re right about franchises wanting to make maximum profits from IPL, but this year the situation is completely different as BCCI had earlier in March cut their profits by half, hence they’ll have no other option but to agree with this plan put forth by BCCI if they wish to earn any profits for this season. Lastly even if the franchises agree and the BCCI is keen to organise IPL, I don’t think the state governments will give them them the permission to organise it, therefore I believe that we will not be seeing IPL this year unless the BCCI can suddenly compel the governments to give them the required permissions.

A perfect night for Barcelona with 4 - 0 victory over struggling Mallorca, I don't think the scoreline interpreted the whole game, although Barcelona as expected dominated the most aspect of the game, but the look somewhat sloppy and not any different from the Barcelona before the break. Messi as usual the best Barcelona player on the field scored one, assisted two. also in the front line, Braithwaite looks rather impressive while Griezmann's struggle to make an impact continues.
Luis Suarez and Jordi Alba both returned to action today, the latter provided a lot of attacking impact, while the former also tried for a player that hasn't played any competitive for 6+ months.
The Griezmann move to Barcelona was a fraud Anyway, it was an impressive match for Barcelona. With the return of Luis Suarez, expect Barcelona to return to their free scoring ways as compared to the time when he was off injured. There will also be less pressure on Messi. @logfiles I feel that Barcelona will try and sell Grizeman in the upcoming transfer window, as he’s failed to live up to his past reputation of being a deadly striker. It's such great feeling to watch my team playing after very long time. And it's great to see that Barca returned in good condition. A good start for them after a long pandemic pause. Messi is the heart of the game and when he is in good condition, Barcelona will get the win. Easy win against Malorca 4:0, Messi goal + assist, return of Saurez and first goal of Braithwaite in Barcelona. What could be better? Madrid dropping points on Sunday? Why not, lol.
Do I have to pray that they lose and lose points? I dont think thats necessary because I see them quite competitive so far. Madrid deserved to win from Eibar at home. @LTU_btc as a Real Madrid fan I’m hoping that Barcelona looses one or two games, and then Real Madrid goes on to win the title and if that doesn’t happen then Zidane may be sacked by the Real Madrid president for failing to win the La Liga title. Snip
2 assists and 1 late goal. It is a good restart for Lionel Messi after months break because of the pandemic and lockdowns in Spain. There were some bad news about Messi's fitness before that match but Messi proved that he can play well. Snip
Any team between Barca and Real Madrid lose their points in any rest matches will face very high risks of losing the title but Real Madrid has higher risks because they already 2 two points less than Barca. @hd49728 yea Barcelona definitely have the psychological advantage here, but then again nothing is guaranteed in football so we will have to wait till the season ends to find out who won the La Liga title.

Note: Theres no current competition or promotion for this one.
So it means that there is no on going competition on bitdice at the moment as well as for the last week? I wonder why bitdice stopped the wagering competition while many other sites are offering various wagering competition. New sites as well as old sites seems like to be competing to each other by offering regular wagering competition. Is bitdice preparing for something big that will be announced soon? As they have mentioned earlier where updates would come out soon, maybe this year which means this would include promotions/competitions etc. . They havent any competitions already for a while and those image posted are just for the sake of showing off numbers that there are still big players that do lurks out to this place which is awesome.For now, lets wait for that big update that they've been talking into and yet its been a while that they arent showing something new. @Bitinity the team at Bitdice is busy preparing for the new sites arrival, and therefore there won’t be any new competitions till the new site is ready. However there is one good news too as once the new site is ready then there’ll be many new competitions popping up, and they’ll even be arranging competitions for different currencies used on their site so stay tuned for further updates. Yeah not much hype around the competition right now. With new website that we're working on, we'll be changing that Such competitions expected to be more frequent / ongoing in the future.
We are planning on adding weekly competitions. Most likely separate weekly prizes for each currency.

If you have agricultural land would you sell it or hold it ?
HOLD!
If you can hold it for 2+ years then it should do pretty well. If other industries fail then you still have something for yourself providing you have the money to use it (if that's your intention).
Now probably isn't a good time to sell and it'll probably be best to sell when the markets are back to being booming and have been for a while...
I’ll agree with @jackg suggestions as this is not a good time to sell your land, and even if you do try to sell it now then people will only try to buy it at a cheaper price, and you’ll loose out on making a good income from your land sale. Further I feel that you should hodl this land for at least 3 - 5 years as the current global economic conditions are bad, and you should only consider selling your land in the short term if you’re getting a surreal profitable deal otherwise don’t bother selling for now.

What can you buy with 0.01 cents (usd) ?
Can you buy anything with a penny ?
Same question for other fiat currencies (Can you buy anything with 0.01 eur / 0.01 aud / 0.01 cad / ... ?)
@spy100 the short and simple answer is yes you can yet buy stuff with $0.01, but after seeing what was available for $0.01 I have decided to pass the opportunity to buy those items, however if you do make a purchase then do post here as I’m keen to find out which item were you able to purchase with your small fortune. Lastly I’m posting couple of informative links below that I feel will help you make an informed choice, so feel free to check them out.

And Juventus is the 1st team for the final of the CocaCola Coppa Italia, yes they have a new sponsorship! Boring game but hey football is back, 1st half dominated with a superb game from Bentancur . 0-0 with 2-3 chances and a missed penalty from CR7, nothing more. Tomorrow will be played Napoli-Inter and in 4 days or 5 can't remember the final, next Sunday Serie A will start too. The match is dominated by Juventus and if the guy stays in the Milan's goal is not Gigi Donnaruma and if he did not have an excellent match with so many good saves, Juventus would have won the match, not a tie like it ended. Ronaldo missed a penalty but has he a good shot, and just lack of luck. The match in Coppa Italia's semi final is a good warm-up match for Ronaldo and he will come back stronger next matches in Serie A. I agree that the Juventus v Milan match is boring, both teams don't play openly. But I was quite surprised when CR7 failed make a goal from a penalty kick, even though it's the best chance to be able to score a goal. After the failure of CR7 taking a penalty kick, one minute later Ante Rebic gets a red card. Juventus should be able to take advantage of the lack of players from Milan to be able to win competition. But unfortunately the final result of the match draw 0-0, even though I expected a lot of goals in the match
@coinlocket$ I lost my small bet that I had placed on Juventus thinking that they’ll easily win the match, but to my horror the match ended in a draw, and therefore I am truly disappointed with the way Juventus played last night. The first leg of the Juventus-Milan tie was about 4 months ago, but the away goal decided the match. This could likely happen in today's other semi-final fixture. Napoli enter with a one goal lead and an away goal at the San Sir, this would give them an edge and Inter would have to do a lot to be able to come back. Home advantage will not however count this time as there would be no fans. I expect a low scoring draw; 0-0 or 1-1, would be betting under 2.5.
@Upgrade00 I’m sincerely hoping that Napoli doesn’t win this match as I have placed a bet on Inter Milan to win this fixture, and furthermore I believe that Inter Milan strikers like Lukaku and Martinez can easily score lots of goals and seal the victory for Inter Milan.

Some new faces on the leaderboard and wagering 75k in total. Awesome! Note: Theres no current competition or promotion for this one. @milewilda yea it’s always nice to see people wagering such high amounts, and it’ll be really interesting if hdf decides to take him on in coming weeks as both of them seem to have the money power required to occupy the top spot. Also burritodick seems to be a huge blackjack fan as he has placed multiple bets on blackjack, and the most notable one was 1.60 btc that he had placed and won.

Yay! Majestic 7, nice to finally be back at it with football. No idea who is going to be in form so maybe we'll get someone win the grand prize early on just due to how random it'll be ^ Alrrrriiiiiight!!! I can really feel that 1 BTC is going in pocket before the end of the season. I can feel it! And I won't be jinxing myself by sharing my picks this time. @Hhampuz I have said it before and I’ll repeat it again I have a gut feeling that says @tokeweed will win it, and though I’ll miss seeing his picks I’ll yet hope he wins it. Nice announcement FJ guys! Learning the lineup will be tough again, but at least we are all on the same page and probably most teams have a full squad now (Except those unlucky to get injuries in training).
Kane is back, I can sense him being on all our picks for the remainder of season;)
@slman29 you’re correct as most of the injured players are fit now, and just a friendly reminder to all that Ali is suspended for Tottenhams match against Manchester United so don’t pick him for the first round.
