4241  Economy / Economics / Re: China’s digital yuan could replace bitcoin & end US dollar hegemony on: June 02, 2020, 05:38:34 PM

Well, for that to happen... other countries currently supporting the US Dollar would have to agree to that and pledge their support for the Chinese Yuan or the digital equivalent of it.   Roll Eyes  China being a communist country with an oppressive government will not count in their favour to get other countries to agree with that.

China are one of the biggest economies in the world currently and this fight would be very interesting to see.  Who would be able to influence other countries to accept their currency as the global reserve currency.   Huh  I think a lot of the communist countries might support China and the capitalist countries will still support the US Dollar.  Cheesy


On top of that, many countries are also blaming China for the coronavirus. I cant see them doing a 180 degrees turn to accept China as their new financial master.
Something on Soros plan is not working. Unless, of course, the plan includes military escalation and war.

@Kakmakr no country in their right mind will pledge support for the Chinese Currency, because Yuan is not a globally accepted currency, and even if few countries try to support it their own citizens will protest against it, hence I don’t think any country will choose Yuan over the dollar.

@fabiorem you’re correct because of the corona issue many countries are cutting down trade relations with China, and hence it’s not possible for them to suddenly adopt Yuan, unless they can prove they had no other choice but to adopt it.

We will be announcing a weekly contest very soon. Keep an eye on this thread to find out more.

So far great promotions have been done... And it's awesome to see how people keep getting nice prices in those events.

From the plinko happy hour and the Dice Happy hour i liked more the plinko one, but from all the promos the 100% bonus on deposits was the greatest because we don't see every day more than 1 user walking away with more than 0.5btc profit and with that promo they did it.
It all depends on what game you like more IMO as far as the Happy Hours have went. I prefer dice, but I have more luck in that particular game.

@seoincorporation indeed they have been very generous with their promotions so far, and further it seems that they have no intention of stopping their promotions anytime soon, which is really great news for all the gamblers who’re playing at LuckyBit.


Finally a weekly contest is coming soon. Hopefully it will be something greater than the Happy Hour promotion, I also hope that it will not be just another wagering contest. Surely any promotions will be good for Luckybit and it will boost the number of wagered amount and it will attract more new players to come and join the party. Cant wait for it.

@Bitinity so far they haven’t announced what kind of contest will this be, hence we will have to wait patiently for their official announcement, also you can always post your suggestions here as I had seen before that they’re keen to implement players suggestions, as and where it’s possible to implement them.

Congrats on 410 million bets, WinDice!

I hope I won't miss the 500 million bets festivity. For sure it will be something no gambler would want to miss. Smiley

In the meantime, I received such a big tip during the days of my absence, that I'm wondering wasn't it a mistake.



Seeing 50 or 100 DOGE tipped on WinDice isn't a rare event, but 1,000 ...

So, if it was a mistake, tell me and I'll return it(I'll try to not bust it in the meanwhile  Grin).

But if I was intentionally rained by 1k DOGE, well, Thank you! That's very generous! Smiley

@Betwrong I don’t think it’s an error on their part because in my personal opinion you just got lucky, and therefore you should proceed ahead and wager your small fortune without any second thoughts.


Interesting, normally it takes 10 days for windice to reach to another 10 million mark, this time around it took about 12 days, I didn't checked the real results so I am going off with this post and if the post is late then usual (by 2 days) and that is the reason, I couldn't really make more deductions. However if it is not and it actually took 12 days to reach here, that is not really good for windice is it?

I mean they normally didn't even do 10 days, they were around 9ish days period, a bit over but still less than full on 10 days 240 hours. By the looks of it people actually starting to go outside has hurt windice more than we have imagined, or maybe it is something else, could be the 1/10 level rewards they are giving out right now that has changed so much? I don't know the reason but decline is obvious.

@wozzek23 I don’t agree with you as there’s no credible evidence which proves that Windice is experiencing a decline in it’s user base, and a delay of 2 - 3 days doesn't really prove anything unless you have more concrete evidence to backup your claims.
4244  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Breaking historic resistance on: June 02, 2020, 07:15:03 AM
Finally this has happened. I have to be honest and say that I didn't expect this, I tought price would need some more time.
However, the question is if this is going to last, will price stay over 10000$ and move forward or will it pull back soon? Somehow I think this pump will not be on long term and we might get back to around 9500$.

@bitbunny I’ll second that as I too was expecting bitcoin prices to rebound in the long run, but never thought that it would rebound so so soon, and for this we need to thank Trump whose actions initiated this bitcoins bull rally.

Furthermore you’re correct as prices have already taken a hit on preev, and yea it may just rebound back to $9500 levels, but then again with all the chaos going on in USA I wouldn't be surprised, if we saw more bull rallies taking place like the one that we all just witnessed.

Quote

Within the last hour Bitcoin (BTC) price abruptly surged to $10,380 after spending the last month trading in a symmetrical triangle pattern. The move above the crucial $10K mark occurred as U.S. President Donald Trump mobilized local police and the National Guard to disperse masses of protestors on the White House grounds.

Stake hasn't really been doing so much about sportsbook once again. It is really sad because they market the whole idea of "stake will have sportsbook" for a year or even maybe longer and when it got here... nothing. Everyone is doing MAJOR promotions about the leagues coming back, and stake here just watching because they say its third party provider and that's it, they get out of all the trouble of it by just saying that.

I would have expected much bigger major promotions, but nothing seems to be really working for them anymore. Primedice used to be the greatest marketing casino in the whole world, that was one of the reasons why just-dice vs primedice was decided with primedice becoming much bigger, but for some reason for the past year or two the marketing became "HEY THERE WE HAVE A RACE" and that's it, nothing else.

Let me tell you why are you wrong about this one.

We always have at least 1 promo available to the users, last week we had 3 promotions just for Sports betting.

And we always have at least 1 challenge in the forum where you can earn extra funds.

When Football/Soccer comes back fully we will have our " Go Big Or Go Home " challenge back where the current prize is 1.15 BTC Smiley


Stake.com in my opinion is the best website for betting and Stake.com is believed to be from the first present until now

Thank you for your kind words! Smiley

How is Stake when it comes to esports betting?

Come on https://stake.com/sports and check our offer for eSports! Smiley

We almost have every match there is for eSports!

@DustanD you’re correct as Stake did have some good promotions last week, and the one that caught my eye was the promotion of Dortmund vs Bayern Munich match, and I’m hoping to see similar promotions once all the league resumes again.

Source: https://promotions.stake.com/dortmund-vs-bayern-goals/


With the lack of sports going on right now and the boom in casino gaming a lot of our effort at the moment has been focused on the casino side of things. You raise some fair points and I will share your feedback with the team so we can build some better promotions for you. With sports making a comeback we will try and do some better promos, let us know specifically what you want to see.

@Stunna I’m quoting some of the suggestions Stake users had given, and I have already added my suggestion above so hopefully you’ll implement some of these for stake users.

@Stunna Why not run a betting competition with your Stake.com / Sportsbook?
Some years ago we get a lot of fun playing the same initiative on DirectBet https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1256522.0

There was a strong interest each month, and it can be a nice "revival" idea launch again since it can promote your site and good tipsters!



I also have some ideas for sportsbook related competitions, as we play a lot of sports-type contests here where I am, in real life I mean. I always thought it would be more fun with other people online, it makes people go crazy besides the fun of the game itself:)

4246  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Wagering More or Wagering Less on: June 01, 2020, 04:53:09 PM
Everyone knows that houses will win most of the time but still people are wagering and taking part in wagering competitions. People do get REKT but they still take risks because the winning amount is too much attractive.
And that's how effective they are.

We wager more for specific reasons and this is included with that reason. The other reason why we gamble more is when we feel that we've lost that much.

This makes us get more of it and this is a normal act for gamblers.

It is never a good move to go all in or wager more when you are losing more. Many people think that if they gamble more after losing, to recover their loses they will lose more. The best way is to stop the gambling and start it again on a fresh day with a fresh mind. This way you have more chances of winning.
You will never know how others feel when they do that.

We don't know that some were successful retrieving their losses but it's a fact that many losses more.

Only the losers who have lost their money in gambling knows the feeling of it and others cannot have the same pain. People wager more  to cover their loses because they can control their sad feelings and in return lose more money. There are no counselors for gambling who can guide on how to control in gambling.

Gambling addiction is real and no one can deny it, however at the end of the day we gamblers need to learn the art of self discipline and stop chasing our looses. @noormcs5 the best people to guide a gambler are his family, his friends or fellow gamblers out here, also I’m leaving few links below in case anyone needs more help then they can visit those sites and seek further help.

4247  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: English Premier League set to restart on June 17, 2020. on: June 01, 2020, 10:00:37 AM
This is very good news because we gamblers and fanatics have longed for the matches of the English league. With the resumption of the matches, we will now be able to bet on these leagues and follow the matches and teams as before. What I am particularly curious about is, can we find the old pleasure in these games with the resumption of the matches? Although the matches will be played without spectators, I missed watching the matches of England league with great excitement at the beginning of television. Now we can start counting days as if counting dawn on the soldier. Cheesy

@BitcoinTurk yea you’re right because without the fans football matches are super boring to watch, but there’s a silver lining too as the Premier League is planning to introduce artificial fans noise in the background, which will partially make up for the fans who’ll be absent due to the restrictions in place.

Great news, it got boring in the last weeks only watching Bundesliga. There is definitely more action in Premier League.

How do  you guys feel about watching football without any fans in the stadium?

It still feels wierd for me to the players in a corner cheering towards empty seats. And the sound is also so different now.

Better football in a wierd setting than no football  Wink

@Mauser though it’s difficult to watch football matches without the fans, but we need to understand that many football clubs will suffer massive revenue losses if they do not complete this season, hence they do not have any other choice but to play without the fans and complete the season.

4248  Economy / Gambling / Re: BITDICE.me - Crypto Casino 🎰 Now Accepting EOS | Roll Hunt | Bonuses on: June 01, 2020, 07:09:02 AM
One thing I didn't consider was the extensions, I had metamask on my chrome and now I don't have it anymore, I liked to send money to bitdice from my metamask but I guess I will have to just deposit/withdraw from my chrome, and do the rest from opera. Does bitdice team knows any reason why browser changes makes the website change as well? Like opera faster but chrome slower type of things? Or is it something out of their control? I want to try ToR very soon as well, I don't liked to be followed around by  my ISP so I will probably move to ToR eventually and gambling is a perfect thing to try on ToR since that would be something you wouldn't want anyone to find out, right now there is VPN for that but I am not entirely sure how much that works, with ToR that would be a totally different deal to gamble.
I think this has already been noted but, does this have the connection to the ram eating of Chrome and Opera? We knew it that Chrome browser consumes a lot in our ram and that makes it slower while Opera, consumes not that much.

Except Opera, have you tried other browsers like Brave?

@davinchi few days ago @BoXXoB had updated us that few minor updates were implemented on the site, and due to those updates the site would load quickly for all, and I had even tested it and indeed the site was loading fast. However in your case @jossiel is correct that Chrome consumes more ram, and hence you’re finding the site slow on Chrome, but in reality the site is fast and you can test it using other browsers and then update us with your experience.

Quote

Why is opera faster than Chrome?

Because it's built on the Chromium engine, Opera can use many extensions and add-ons designed for Chrome but is less taxing on your device's memory than Chrome. In addition, its turbo feature can speed up web browsing by compressing data found on websites.


Yesterday we had a small update on the site which included a performance update which should improve performance for most users but especially for mobile users or those with less powerful devices.

We also had minor updates to the front-end for example dicebot now allows users to increase / decrease bet size on both win and loss.

4249  Other / Politics & Society / Re: [FACTS] The Hacker Group Known as Anonymous on: June 01, 2020, 04:09:19 AM
Since most people don’t know (or don’t remember) the hacker group anonymous, here’s a thread because they’re a pretty big fucking deal.
So basically anonymous started on 4chan back in 2003. the whole point was to gather hackers all over the world to form a digital “hive”. they’re usually distinguished by wearing guy fawkes masks. Eventually it got to the point where, in 2012, TIME declared they were one of the "100 most influential people" in the world. coincidentally, they were also declared a national security threat because they deadass would not stop hacking american government servers LMAOOOO.

For example, remember back in 2008 when the church of scientology was gaining an insane amount of supporters and celebrity endorsements (tom cruise, john travolta, etc)? where’d they go? turns out anonymous singlehandedly ended the majority of the moment due to ddos attacks, email spams, prank calls, etc) normally this wouldn’t have been a problem but the fact that the group was SO huge meant that the church was getting millions of troll calls a day until eventually nobody took the church of scientology serious anymore bc they couldn’t operate at all.
There was also the “Operation Payback”. it was so fun to watch because they targeted so many important govt branches (Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft, the U.S. Copyright Office, etc) the total downtime of all these attacks was estimated to be around 537.55 hours.Operation Payback eventually led to “Operation Avenge Assange", and Anons issued a press release declaring PayPal a target. attacks brought down paypl for an hour on dec 8 and another brief period on dec 9. this may not seem like a long time that meant MILLIONS of dollars lost.
Beginning in january 2011, anons took a number of actions known initially as “Operation Tunisia” in support of Arab Spring movements. Tflow created a script that Tunisians could use to protect their web browsers from government surveillance. Not only that, but they also target multiple businesses/corporations accused of homophobia. in december 2012, anons published the names, phone numbers, and e-mail and home addresses of westboro church members and brought down GodHatesF***.com with a DDoS attack.
In august 2012, anons hacked the site of Ugandan Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi in retaliation for the Parliament of Uganda's consideration of an anti-homosexuality law permitting capital punishment (he tried to make sentences of 14 years to life if you were caught being gay).

OHHH! they also declared war and constantly hacked sony in retaliation for them trying to sue George Hotz (the first guy to jailbreak an iphone, rumored to be an anon). this was the biggest gaming security breach EVER and left weeks without access to online servers.

@Krislaw I didn't even knew such a group existed till now, and after reading what all they have done in the past I’m really concerned about what they’ll do this time round. While I’m all in for justice being served if someone’s committed a crime which deserves punishment, but handing such power to an organisation like this is scary as they won’t follow any legal procedures, and they will do more harm than good in my personal opinion.

Vietnam authorities are claiming to burst an online casino that used to handle bets worth $3 billion, and what’s surprising is despite getting such huge volumes the casino owner never felt the need to get his casino registered and operate legally.

Further he had deployed a very clever strategy where he had hired people to lure gamblers out, and then he used to pay those people fixed commissions for every deposits the gambler made through them.

Lastly I would request you’ll to wager only on reputed casinos, and check their history before you wager otherwise you may end up loosing your funds to fraudulent online casinos.

Now that premier league looks like coming back, do we have plans to continue the jackmates and all that premier league goals thing going on? That was actually a lot of fun and I think we didn't had any winners neither, so it would be awesome when the leagues come back to play some more. I actually had a decent strategy that I was looking to bet with but unfortunately pandemic happened and I couldn't do it for too many days in a row, hopefully when it comes back I am going to do better (or maybe not who knows Cheesy).

Plus as a great idea, maybe you could add the same thing for the other leagues as well? That way you could get a lot more people too. Since, you are basically not getting any winners at all, I doubt more leagues would mean anything at all. You could drop the reward for one league and equal it to other leagues (like 0.25 on 4 leagues instead of 1 for 1 league).

@jostorres that’s a great idea as I had totally forgotten about Jackmates, also you’re correct as no one won it last time, but who knows someone may just win it this time if FJ decides to relaunch it. Furthermore I don’t think so that they’ll include Jackmates for all the league's now, but for the next season I’m sincerely hoping that they'll extend it to La Liga, Bundesliga, and the Italian league too.

70m € in 3 years payment
80m € in 4 years payment.

@coinlocket$ where did you read that Juventus are ready to pay up to €80 million for Pogba, because I’m only reading report’s of a swap deal where Juventus will send Adrien Rabiot to Manchester United, and Pogba will leave for Juventus.

It’s also pertinent to note that Real Madrid has also offered 4 players as a part of a swap deal for Pogba, and therefore I feel that Pogba will leave in a swap deal only because most of the clubs currently are facing a financial crunch, and cannot afford to spend big in this summer transfer window.

4253  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Voided Bets: Can a betting site void a game which is accepted by the league? on: May 31, 2020, 04:22:43 AM
I just want to hear your opinions on this.

I placed a few bets on a game which was not completed due to a technical glitch on the part of one player. There must be clear league rules when instances such as this arise. After a while, the admin of the league then decided on the issue. The decision was that the opponent won by default.

However, the betting site voided my bets due to the game not completed. But even so, there was a declared winner and loser as per the decision of the league itself.

My questions:

1. Shouldn't the site honor the decision of the league?

2. Can a betting site void a game which was decided to stand by the league itself, under which the game was sanctioned in the first place? (A 12-round boxing match stopped due to an accidental headbutt may have ended up not completed but still a winner could be declared based on technicalities.)

3. Can a betting site judge whether a game counts or not?


@Darker45 the answer to your question lies in the terms and conditions page of your sportsbook provider, and you’ll have to dig deep to find out if you have any remedy against their decision. While I do understand your frustration but in my personal opinion you’ll soon find out that their terms will state that they’re correct, and there’s nothing you can do about this bet except to move on and forget about this bet.

if this continues authorities will be forced to take extreme actions and these people will cry about their liberty to "protest" is being taken away. I get that they are angry and wants to be heard by everyone but doing all this chaos to store/business owners that have nothing to do with the issue will not resolve anything or help their cause. it will just further fuel the negative image they already have to some people.

Just a day ago they were accusing police of misbehaving with their correspondent in the middle of a protest.

@KingScorpio CNN has disappointed many people with their coverages, but I’m glad that the policeman on the scene didn’t think twice about saving them, and they quickly got the situation under control using tear gas. Furthermore Trump took sly dig at CNN by tweeting that CNN got attacked by the very people who they had claimed were just and noble. Lastly do you’ll think that CNN will change it’s stand, and apologise to the police for making them look like villains?.

There's only one guy who could fix Barca's current problems.  Pep.  I think with everything going on with him, City banned at CL, mom died recently, he'll be looking forward to coming home.  He could also take a year off again before coming back to management.
I think every fan of Barcelona would love to see return of Pep. But there is too many problems and drama in Barca office now. But maybe after president elections it would be possible. If Laporta would become president again, he said that he would welcome Pep with open hands.

Yup.  It's the only move that makes sense after City imo.  I mean even without the pandemic, I think it's more likely for Pep to return to Barca than go manage Juve despite all the rumors coinlocket's been hyping, pointing for a move to the Italian club.

Dunno...  That's just me.



Serie A's traditional tactic style does not fit what Pep is looking for and the league has lost its position among top leagues in Europe in the last decade. From all of those, I don't think Pep will move to Serie A, even to manage Juventus. What Pep is looking for likely a club that can help him fastly win the first Champions League since the day he left Barca. Pep need it to refresh his reputation. He won so many national titles, with Bayern and Manchester City but such titles don't help to protect Pep from failure accusations, from his bosses and from fans.

Both Manchester City and Pep have all reached their limits and they should desparate for better future. Have any of you think of PSG as the next destination of Pep?

@tokeweed last year Pep revealed his desire to return to Barcelona sooner or later, however he didn’t specify whether he would return for 2020 - 2021 season or no, but under the current circumstances it makes sense for him to return to Barcelona immediately. @hd49728 it’s worth mentioning that Man City may loose many player’s due to their champions league ban, and hence Pep may use this as an excuse and force his way out of the club.

4256  Economy / Gambling discussion / Good news from Ohio - Sports betting will be legal now. on: May 30, 2020, 09:56:10 AM
The house of Ohio has passed a bill in which it has declared sports betting as legal in Ohio, and in my personal opinion this shall benefit all the gamblers who reside in Ohio, because now they can gamble legally without fearing any arrests or any kind of fine.

It’s also pertinent to note that there’re few organisations that are against this bill, hence we will have to wait and see if they’ll challenge it in the court or no.

Furthermore I don’t understand why are people against this bill, because gamblers will always continue to gamble, but by making sports betting legal the state will earn additional revenue, which can further be used for the state’s development in the long run.

Quote

The Ohio House on Thursday voted 83-10 in favor of a bill that would place sports betting under the oversight of the Ohio Lottery Commission and allow Ohioans 21 or older to gamble on collegiate and pro sports either online or in casinos, racinos or veterans and fraternal halls.


Quote

It is opposed by Citizens for Community Values, Bowling Centers Association of Ohio, the Cincinnati Reds, and the PGA. Ohio public and private universities have also expressed reservations about legalizing betting on collegiate sports.


Quote

The Legislative Service Commission estimates the tax would generate $17.7 million in 2022 and $23 million in future years.

4257  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Trumps threatens to pull out of WHO starts a new debate at home and abroad!!! on: May 30, 2020, 07:03:11 AM
In my earlier post here I had written that Trump is planning to walk out of WHO, but honestly back then I wasn’t expecting him to walk out, but he’s surprised me by officially declaring that US is walking out of WHO.

Furthermore he’s targeting China over various issues, and the most notable one is the law passed by China where they have completely curbed Hong Kong’s citizens powers/rights.

Lastly i feel that he’s right to step up for Hong Kong’s people rights, but escalating trade wars with China during a Pandemic might not be such a good idea too. However what do you’ll think of Trump’s statements is he walking on a dangerous path, or is he taking well calculated risks.

Quote


Trump announced the US will pull out of the World Health Organization even as the global coronavirus pandemic continues to claim lives, claiming that China has "total control" over the organization of 194 member states. He said China had pressured the WHO to "mislead the world" over the origins of the pandemic, which he described as the "Wuhan virus," and said that health funding would be redirected to "other worldwide and deserving, urgent global public health needs."


Quote

Trump called out China for "espionage to steal our industrial secrets, of which there are many," announced steps to protect American investors from Chinese financial practices, accused Beijing of "unlawfully claiming territory in the Pacific Ocean" and threatening freedom of navigation.

The President also blasted Beijing for passing a national security law that fundamentally undermines Hong Kong's autonomy, announcing that going forward the US will no longer grant Hong Kong special status on trade or in other areas and instead will apply the same restrictions to the territory it has in place with China.

Dortmund will face Paderborn at the Benteler-Arena on Saturday (30/5) in the Week 29 Bundesliga match. Lucien Favre's team will work hard to win to keep them in second place, while hoping that Bayern can lose points in the next few matches to keep the possibility of getting the first title since the 2011/12 season.
Bayern needs 3 wins and a draw to secure the league in the remaining six games, I'm sure they'll get that done and be German champions again. Dortmund will push hard, but they won't overtake Bayern.

Dortmund's position imo is what's under threat and they may not end the season in second place, with Leverkusen just one point behind(having played one game more though)and Leipzig two points behind, so I think there will be more drama and change in position on who'll finish 2nd, 3rd and 4th.
Although I am sceptical about Leipzig but Dortmund still has 2 points advantage and I am pretty sure they can end in the second place without much harass. Leverkusen has better odds to finish 3rd and Leipzig/M'Gladbach 4th depending from their performance from now on!

@AakZaki I’m confident that Dortmund will be able to bounce back and win this match, even though their performance against Bayern in the mid week wasn’t good enough, yet I believe that Dortmund players will step up and win this game by scoring lots of goals. @Coyster I’ll second that as I too feel that Bayern shall win the Bundesliga title again, and as for the second spot I personally feel that Dortmund will be able to hang on to it.

Ok THE day was Yesterday and Today we know what will happen with a *, I will explain later what it is.

Dates

13-14 JUNE Return simifinal Leg for COPPA ITALIA

JUVE-MILAN
NAPOLI-INTER

17 JUNE  Final Coppa Italia


20 JUNE recovery missing games
4 Games

23 JUNE the start of the missing part of the season


Now to the *.
They still have the rule of "if anyone not only players but anyone of the staff will be positive, the entire team must fo in quarantine for a total of 14 days".

The doctor teams are trying to change this rule as Germany is doing so, test for everyone, and quarantine only for positives.

@coinlocket$ it’s official now that the league will resume on 20th June, and a reminder to all that Juventus is leading only by a point, and anything can happen between now and end of the season meaning Lazio who’s second on the table can also win the league don’t you’ll think so?. Furthermore the rule to put the entire team and the staff under quarantine is ridiculous, and it’ll impact the league hence in my personal opinion they should immediately change this rule.
