It might be good measure to find a public place that also has cameras present, so you'd at least have proof if somethingdoes happen.
And also be o the lookout for sketchy things like people covering part of their face or if they bring other people with them.

I've heard that in the US there are those internet exchange locations set up by the cops for craigslist deals etc. Those might be an option.

why you didn't using VPN/something else which can make your IP changed? i think this is more easier than ask help from someone for create an account for you

Yap this is the best way to access restricted sites and he do not need to pay someone else. $50 just for creating an account is too good to be true imho, and guaranteed $200 shared profit make it more sound fishy.



The reason behind guarannty is here local bookies offer different rates which on offered on sites, so i have few tricks through i can make good price, I believing in sharing. If i am earning good price, i don't mind to pay 200$, i have seen many people in my life who don't have any skills so this is best opportunity for giving them benefits.
If  you don't mind paying 200 dollars, you might as well just get a VPN. If someone else makes this account for you, then you could get scammed since the person could probably recover the account.

And indeed it does sound fishy, wouldn't be surprised if this was purely for fraudulent purposes...


Thats the second reason for pay sufficient amount so no one thinks to scam you and one more thing that even he recover his account, he would not able to withdraw the funds, i hope you must know about the policy, deposit and withdraw is made to same account. I will fund the betting site through my account so there is no alternative rather than to withdraw to my account.

VPN for temporary accounts, they can be closed anytime. Even you make the account using fake details, non-verified accounts can not withdraw any funds.

Before calling it fishy, you can check my blockchain and localbitcoin activity, you will get idea what i am and how much i worth. I am new to this platform and don't know anything here, may be this is the reason thats make you to think fishy about me.
I wasn't callig you as a person fishy and it's possible that this is totally legit, but I would think that they can also shut your account down if someone else makes it for you.

I would think you'd have less  chance for that to happen if you'd use a vpn (always with the same IP address).
4343  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When and where do you start to gamble? on: September 02, 2016, 12:44:04 PM
I started gambling before I could do it legally, my first gamble was buying a scratch ticket at age 14 or 15 I think.
Wasn't something that I did a lot, just occasionally and there wasn't any real control over it from the shopkeepers.
4344  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to play gambling in a smart way? on: September 02, 2016, 11:42:50 AM
just play with the small deposits and never try to catch all your losses because you will lose more

Play with whatever you are comfortable of losing. This also goes the same with investment. Never go for more than you can swallow. As gambling is a negative expected value activity, i would suggest you to go in to gamble just to have fun and dont purely aim for winning.
You should aim for winning, since the other option is aiming for losing Wink
Jokes aside, you should probably just spend a set amount and not go over that limit and the amiunt you said should be something that you're not going to regret losing if it's all gone.
4345  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin help poor countries? on: September 02, 2016, 11:32:00 AM
i am sure that bitcoin can help poor people but not sure about this that either it can help poor countries or not. i think it depend on their policy if they allow their people to use bitcoin and their people become rich in bitcoin atumatically it will help their country to develop
I think there is no obstacle to using bitcoin. even though their countries prohibit the use of bitcoin. but it will not hamper they to use of bitcoin for them
The biggest obstacle for poor people to make use of Bitcoin is the lack of knowledge and access to computers.
I do think Bitcoin could be really benificial to people in poor countries, heck even the payouts from sig campaigns might be enough for some people to maintain a higher standard of living.
4346  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Cointelegraph is promoting scammers on: September 02, 2016, 11:27:06 AM
You could also say that this forum is promoting scammers, since it's expected of you to make your own conclusions if something is a scam or not.

Now to be honest, seeing them promote these scams does make me take everything they post with a grain of salt.
Same as everything I read about on this forum
4347  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Opinion on: September 02, 2016, 11:21:11 AM
The major advantage bitcoin has over fiat is that inflation is controlled.

With fiat the price of goods/services increases indefinitely, whereas bitcoins has a limited supply so inflation is limited.

I believe digital currencies are our future, but it seems the government is making plans for its own digital currency.
Inflation might not be the problem of BTC but huge volatility is much worse than inflation. One day your coins can be worth $1000 and the very next day only $250.
Inflation might be problematic in the course of many many years but 1.5% inflation rate per annum (current USD inflation rate) is not that devastating.
That might have been the case a couple of years ago, but since then he price has been much more stable.
What are the chances that something equally devestating as the MtGox fiasco happens?
4348  Economy / Economics / Re: I'm not gonna sell any coin. on: September 02, 2016, 11:15:46 AM
im not selling bitcoins right now too, it would definitely be a dumb move to do as the price of the bitcoin is going to grow

Well for the ones who have bought their bitcoins before some time for them it wont be a dumb move to sell them now because the price is way higher then what it was in past, but for the ones who have bought their coins when it was near the price which it is now they should just keep patience.
That really depends on how much Bitcoins they have, I would think it's always beneficial to just keep a certain amount of your funds in Bitcoin.
Especially if you have a ton of coins that you bought under 100 dollars. Chances are pretty low that you'd lose money, even if proces would drop significantly.
4349  Economy / Economics / Re: Loans too risky? on: September 02, 2016, 11:12:15 AM
I used to get loans without any collateral, but I too follow a strict rule and always advice new people who are willing to lend anything, just don't lend anything unless you get any collateral which is 110 - 120% the worth of amount asked in loan... You won't possibly fall for scam if you will do it this way... Smiley
Do you get a lot of offers for loans if you ask for collateral? Just wondering if I would make enough to make it worth my time..
Since people could just exhange the altcoin instead of taking a loan.
4350  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you Still believe in Fiat? on: September 02, 2016, 09:32:59 AM
Yes, i do. I believe in fiat because i'm using fiat everyday and every people around the world also using fiat. So why you still not believe in fiat ? Fiat is a legal currency though.

each people now using fiat, because bitcoin still not a famous , maybe in future after people using bitcoin, people will leave fiat and using bitcoin as normal currency
The biggest thing that has to happen is a shake-up of the normal way of life for enough people (namely an economic collapse) which will get people questioning the money that they have will drive more people to explore more options and Bitcoins is one of the more prominent choices that currently exist. People leaving fiar would be a huge blow to the banks and governments, and using Bitcoin as a normal currency would definitely be something a lot of people and places would consider.
That is far from happening because fiat is more stable than bitcoin, if there is an economic collapse which will not happen, of course other ally countries are their to help a certain country through donations or a loan to fix the problem.
You would have been right ifnyou had just said that X form of fiat is nore stable than Bitcoin, such as the Euro of Dollar even.
But you can just say that all fiat currency is nore stable.

Just look at what happened to Zimbabwe or Venezuela, can't say that they have the most stable fiat currency.
4351  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading is unpredictable job. on: September 02, 2016, 09:28:48 AM
Trading ain't a job, but should rather be considered as a habit, a bad habit if not done correctly, and good if you are making profits from it...
It is never easy to trade bitcoins as markets might go against you and you might lose on your investments...
I'd not go that far, some people could make it into a job, but only if they've been succesfully trading for a long time.
It's just a bad idea to think about making trading your job before you've even started.
4352  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin investment pool on: September 02, 2016, 09:23:26 AM
If you want to invest, just use the hit n run method. And do not invest for multiple times in one site. For myself, I avoid to do any investment.
Very bad advice, you're basically telling people to invest in ponzi schemes and get your money out just before they scam...
People doing that as as guilty as the owners of these scams in my opinion and giving that kind of advice is just wrong.
4353  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Skills vs Luck *poll* on: September 02, 2016, 09:19:54 AM
Trading provide no house edge it means you're often depend on luck.
For some cases, you can made good profit if you have deep analysis that only who has their own skill that able to do that. Yes it's difficult but it's not impossible to do it as long as you have done it everyday !
Trading isn't the same as gamling, so why mention house-edge?
Doing it everyday is no guarantee that you will get more skilled at trading, yiu can trade for months and still fail or be completely dependant on luck.
4354  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to stay away from gambling? suggestions ? on: September 02, 2016, 09:09:15 AM
You started gambling for fun, so you have to find another thing that brings you fun

But in reality it's not easy to find more attractive than gambling, gambling has so much charm because it give us chance to make money easily, that is very big reason which lead the people to get addicted, but if someone get succeed to do this than it is very easy to stay away from gambling.
It actually is easy to find other things that are fun besides gambling, but because of the addiction you could fail to see joy in those other things.
I've also read a few scientific articles that state it's better to try and quit after a loss than right after you've won due to the negative emotions you will connect to gambling. Getting professional help is usually required though.
4355  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why Gambling is Fun? on: September 02, 2016, 09:04:09 AM

I've never won in a gamble , why would you say gambling fun ? gambling makes me boring Huh

You should understand that gambling was not made to give you or gamblers profit because gambling houses are not running any money distribution services instead they want to make a profit from their services. These games are paid games and you should think that you paid money to play those games then you will get the fun. If you gamble to win money then you will never enjoy the fun part of gambling.
Uhm winning is a pretty integral part of the fun in gambling, inagibe playing slots or roulette for half an hour without winning a single time.
If it's just about 'playing those games', like you said, why gamble instead of just playing regular games?
4356  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Anyone ever stop gambling? but then gamble again? on: September 02, 2016, 08:59:10 AM
It is the same as stopping smoking or drinking if you are addicted to that. Stopping is very hard and takes a lot of dedication. After that, one small fuck up, even one cigarette or drink, is enough to flip you over and become a full on addict again.

The same goes for gamblign unfortunately. If you really want to stop, you need to make sure you completely avoid all stimuli that may cause you to gamble again. Which will be quite hard on these forums with all the casino adds going around.
It's just impossible to avoid any references to gambling, it's better to learn how to deal with them than to try to avoid them.
Also, if you do slip up, don't beat yourself up too hard and just keep trying to quit. Relapsing is pretty common and it shouldn't be the end of trying to quit.

4358  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ugliest gambling site? on: September 01, 2016, 03:48:26 PM
There are too many to name them all, but most of them have one thing in common though.
The ugliest gambling sites usually just use Moneypot and build their site around that without spending time on their user interface.

They usually fail too.
4359  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If one day BTC cannot be traded for cash, what will you do? on: September 01, 2016, 03:44:08 PM
If it was impossible to trade Bitcoins for cash, then I would assume that it would also be impossible to buy most things with Bitcoins.
So what use does Bitcoin have, if that were the case?
4360  Other / Off-topic / Re: What are you doing here? on: September 01, 2016, 03:42:04 PM
This is the most popular Bitcoin forum and the oldest and I've personally not really looked into joining other Bitcoin forums.
I would be lying if I said that the signature campaigns weren't a big part of the reason I keep posting here.

But aside from the signature campaigns, I also find the forum pretty useful for checking out Bitcoin related projects or to just discuss news regarding Bitcoin.
