This will never happen due to a lot of refund requests that they are receiving per day. I worked for ebay for quite some time and lots of refunds were always on queue. It would be hard for them to refund cryptocurrencies since they are already having problems refunding with their own localized paynent system. It would be cool if that certain rumor materialized, but these giant retail companies realized along the way that it wouldn't really work.

VP doesn't really have a choice at all. They are owned by a Russian and if they say or do anything against what Putin is doing they will be arrested, and probably 'disappear'. It's sad that even eSports is affected by this, and there's really not much we can do about it. For now, any sporting events that Russians participate in will probably have an eerie atmosphere wherein they would need to explain their stance on the current invasion, and IMO that is not a good experience at all.

As for the event, I'm kinda rooting for NGX.SEA but it'll be a tough match to find their place in.

How do you define "confirmed Twitter accounts"?

There are bots with lots of followers, and whose tweets and engagements with other accounts seem natural. It'll be hard to screen which is which for Twitter votes, hence it will be not wise to use fan favorites on gambling, as results will always be biased and manipulated to the core.

I would personally skip these types of events, and would just go directly to the normal lines instead. It's very hard to profit on these types of lines.

From what I've seen on some of the fights of Canelo, I can say that he's a focused and a very determined fighter. His footwork and the way he moves around the ring is very efficient, which makes his enemy spend more stamina and chase around for him. His enemy, I haven't heard much about, though for the size difference, Bivol has an advantage, but perhaps it can be used against him as well. All in all if I were to bet, it will still be for Alvarez. The dude is just methodical on his last bouts and it's hard to beat that.

I haven't. Most of the picks that they give aren't really valuable unless you're a big roller capable of betting hundreds to thousands of dollars in one event. Also, some of the 'analysis' that they do can be found on other sites being discussed by tipsters and other gamblers as well, so I don't think that paying someone to parrot or paraphrase information other people already relayed is important.

IMO, study the game and the teams, and make the analysis yourself. You keep 100% of the winnings and you won't blame anyone else for your losses.

It could literally be anything right now. Perhaps people realized that bitcoin is the way to go during these times, especially those who are within those regions that are struck by this current armed conflict. Sanctions are in place, and the economy is really badly beaten, that's why they chose for alternatives. Or it could just be another random pump, but again, it could be anything under the sun, really.

What most people do not understand is that the market for Russia only closed mostly in the West, while still having free access in the East where the Asian market resides. Also, sooner or later, Europe will want to have its supply of Russian oil back if their supply dwindles and no other option is out there. It's not a dead-end for Russia just yet, but I do agree that if their current situation against Ukraine goes on for long, they couldn't afford it and may have their economy crumble so hard.

As for bitcoin and crypto, the only 'decline' that I saw was within the first few hours of the invasion. Afterwards, it went normal from there. The ones who sold on a panic on February 24 were probably those who are afraid that the armed conflict will affect cryptocurrencies, but it didn't. Right now, bitcoin and crypto appears to be unbothered by what's happening in Ukraine. A few swings here and there but nothing too major, unlike on the 24th which is understandable.

At this point, it's like we're against all Russians when in fact it's only Putin and his cronies who are trying to make something out of their invasion of Ukraine. Also, it's not as if gambling platforms from Russia are well known or are popular amongst gamblers here, so I don't think boycotting the select few that still exists and operates would make much difference. Not every Russian aligns their ideals with what Putin is doing, so a collective boycott on Russian services and whatnot wouldn't really do something to change the dictator's mind.

It was a shocker that Na'Vi lost against G2, but knowing what the team is going through, with the war and stuff that's going, it's understandable that they may not be as focused as they were on previous tournaments. G2 was cold-blooded on their bout against Na'Vi, but can't seem to find any openings against Faze. That odds kinda tempted me to go into G2, but just didn't bet at the last minute due to hesitations and glad that it was the right call.


I was about to punch myself after seeing that great comeback, but man I was relieved when they cannot convert it to a win.

It's one part, but it's not a one-step formula to success. Most crypto communities grew not only because of bounty campaigns, but also because of what they actually offer to the community. You can't expect to have a smooth community through bounty campaigns if what your product/token/whatever is basically not really worth it, or does not add value to those who wishes to purchase it. Before you get successful on bounty campaigns, you must first have a project that has substance, and people can really enjoy.

China has a lot of reasons to go and invade Taiwan right now. The West is busy with Russia and they cannot afford to handle to fronts at the same time, and even if they could, it would be costly and I don't think they would want to empty their pockets on this one alone, especially if the benefits in the end isn't that great from them. Russia will have to fight the Ukrainians, which are showing extreme resilience and are being supplied with weapons and funded by NATO. Zelenskyy's also good at boosting the morale of the civilian fighters and his soldiers with the way he handles the crisis.

Russia still have access to the markets in China and Asia, so even if the West bans SWIFT and imposed sanctions on the country, they will still find a way to finance this war they're waging on. Also, it seems that China is with Russia on what's happening in Ukraine, too, and they are ready to send some support to Russia in terms of money if it comes to that. Europe can't also afford to stand against Russia for too long, as they need that oil from Russia as well. Sanctions will hurt Russia a lot, but Europe and the West would also be hurt in some ways, too.

They won't know unless you let them. It's basically just telling them, "I swear I'm old enough to play this game" not until they ask for IDs and all that stuff. If they are to collect personal information without you knowing, or even asking for your consent, you can file a case against them or even sue them. Casinos right now would be asking for basic information on their players when the time comes that they need to withdraw, so one way or another, they will know.

Rooting for Gambit on today's games. They have received a lot of backlash from the gaming community, but in reality they can't really do anything to condemn the invasion since they are also under Russian management. The team's morale surely would have been shred to pieces after all the hate, but they're still a beast team and I hope they don't let it get to their heads.

It's just fun to watch the outcome of these games, but no I don't trust nor plan to bet on these games. Even if someone regularly checks on the live roll's authenticity and veracity, they can be paid too, in order to rig the game. Though most auditors and verifiers of these games are reliable most of the time, you can never be sure if their participation on audits is already paid. Everything has a price. I'll stick to my casino games and sports betting, I guess.

I knew a lot of people that does this, too. I know they are not really experienced in handling such projects but still created cryptocurrencies, and marketed them heavily to pump the price and dump them afterwards. Most of these crypto that they create are copies of other obscure cryptos that they name on what's the current hype in the space. It's somehow working and people still believe them due to their gullibility, that's why they keep on doing the same shit over and over again.

It will be a slow downfall for cash, and IMO it might take at least another decade before people completely shift to something else other than cash. Mobile payments are slowly making their way into the society, and so far they are being accepted quite nicely. Regarding crypto, however, it will take a lot of getting used to before people recognize its potential on counteracting such moves from the government.

It'll be hard for sporting events to continue as normal, and I don't think it's the best time to bet on sports too. Leagues outside Europe may still be bet on but right now, it's certain that a lot of events will be cancelled due to the ongoong Russian-Ukraine conflict. Also, if you are near the hot zones, I wouldn't really use my money on betting and just safekeep them, or at least stock up on essentials now. Gambling would be the least of my priorities til then.

Buying bitcoin and alts as of this moment is very dangerous as most people from those regions are cashing out as hard as they can. Countries that are affected by the conflict will have their currencies go down hard, and it's not a funny sight. For sure, the Russians have also stocked up on foreign currencies as well to fund their invasion, and perhaps gold too. This conflict will not end pretty well if the aggression and tension goes over the roof.
