Op, I saw you created a new thread recently, but that goes against the rules, so I suggest you to delete it and move any important thoughts from that thread to this one, so that they're not lost. Having someone accusing you of scam is not itself a problem, especially if you indeed have a proof that he was multi accounting. And creating a new thread kind of looks like you're trying to move on and create a 'clean' discussion, so that people forget about this situation, but that only makes things worse.
I have a question in relation to the info in the new thread: are betting with BTC and DOGE still disabled? Because the impression from that info was that it's currently only possible to gamble with your coin.

Op, I think that overall your casino looks fine, but I don't see anything special here, something that would make people choose this casino over those which are already reputable and established.
Also, I think you didn't mention an option of playing for free which I used on the website (and now I'm thinking it's maybe not supposed to work). I just chose 'coinflip' and started choosing the color. At first, it gave a notification that I need to log in to play for real, but then I was able to keep playing, basically. Or is it done on purpose as a demo mode?
And speaking of reputation, please sort out cento96's claim because such accusations are not good for your casino's reputation...
4343  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you take team's cohesion into account when betting? on: February 19, 2021, 04:35:01 PM
Thanks for your replies! Just to summarize, it seems that most of you think that the team's cohesion is very important, but that it's very hard to assess it. Does it mean that when choosing what to bet on, we lack some essential information required to make this decision?
And I agree that cohesion is not just about football, but any team sport. It's just that football is closer to me and the TV show was about football, so I chose to develop my thoughts in this regard.
4344  Economy / Gambling / Re: Best crypto casino right now according to the community on: February 18, 2021, 03:43:11 PM
If you're making a survey, why not make it a little longer to ask other related questions like 'what you value most in a casino', 'what are your favourite games' and stuff like that? And if it's really just about choosing a particular casino, a poll on Bitcointalk would make more sense.
I think it's impossible to choose the best casino like that because there's no single best thing. For sports, it would be one thing, for slots it can be another, and for poker it's a third one.
4345  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Nigeria Come Late to the Bitcoin Party? on: February 18, 2021, 03:10:16 PM
The Nigerian people are clearly not late to the party from what I've read because it's indeed one of the leading countries in terms of Bitcoin adoption and usage. As for the Central Bank being against trading, there's no wonder that they are. After all, the market possesses a threat to them, so they're trying to fight it. But is the bank's statement enough for a proper ban of cryptos in Nigeria? I think a law is required, whereas a bank can just spread FUD and made non-binding guidelines. However, I might be wrong because I don't know how things work in Nigeria. In any case, I hope the people will be able to continue using cryptos and will fight such unfavorable regulations.
4346  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: how many bitcoin is left ordinary people's hand? on: February 18, 2021, 02:43:57 PM
Op, your guess is evidence-based, which is good, but as was already mentioned, it's not without its problems. The huge one is about the whales, of course. Some of these addresses don't have publicly known owners, but I remember when I looked into the biggest BTC hodlers, some of the biggest ones were very easy to google and see that it's a major exchange. BrewMaster already pointed it out, but perhaps you could try to go through the biggest addresses and exclude those bitcoins which turn out to be in exchange wallets. This can help to make your guess more accurate, I think.
4347  Economy / Gambling discussion / Do you take team's cohesion into account when betting? on: February 18, 2021, 02:32:11 PM
I've just finished watching a TV show "Ted Lasso" which is about a guy coaching an EPL football club without even knowing football. The point is, he focuses not on the strong individual players, but on the team's morale and cohesion for the game. Here's a poster in case you might've seen it but aren't sure:

Image Source
After all, football is a team sport, so the team working hard together is not less important than a few very strong players scoring some goals, right?
Those who bet on football matches and do thorough research often look into injured players and stuff like this, but I have a question: do you ever try to assess the integrity of the team itself in any way before placing a bet? Do you think it matters in real life, or is it just a nice fantasy of a TV show?
4348  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: After Tesla, others began to pay attention to Bitcoin. Is this the future trend on: February 17, 2021, 06:02:42 PM
No wonder they finally realized they're missing out on a huge financial investment opportunity. But I think with Tesla the case is quite different. For one, Tesla actually bought a ton of BTC, whereas BlackRock just started experimenting with BTC a little if I understand it right. Secondly, Tesla is willing to accept BTC as payment, so Bitcoin is not only an asset, but also a form of money for them. BlackRock, on the other hand, is about profit rather than anything else. And finally, it seems that reputable websites published their news articles about it weeks ago, but something sparked interest for less popular websites recently. So if there was any impact to be made by this news, it already happened.
4349  Economy / Gambling / Re: Honest99 - Ethereum-based casino you don't have to trust (explained) on: February 17, 2021, 05:30:43 PM
https://honest99.bet/

No "register with google"
No "1000 free spins"
Open-sourced, 100% decentralized
No BS, only truth
You're saying that the 'no need to trust' part is explained, but it's not explained in this post of yours, and that's not great. I know some casinos don't require trust because they're built on smart contracts and all the payouts are handled by those contracts automatically. Neither your post nor your website really explain anything about the nature of your casino, and you should really write down explicitly how it works, so that any typical gambler can see and understand it. And it should be written not in your replies to other people, but on the website and in the first post of this thread.
This casino might be an interesting project, but you need to make relevant info easily available and user-friendly.
4350  Economy / Gambling / Re: NEW CRYPTOCURRENCY CASINO WITH LOW HOUSE EDGE on: February 17, 2021, 05:09:55 PM
What exchange glitch ? and what multiply ?? So give me back my deposit scammers!!!
Moderator, why you dont do nothing with that scam?
Unfortunately, this is forum's policy. Moderators are not responsible for the content and don't get involved in deciding whether something is a scam or not. However, there's another way the forum members get involved and can give casino negative trust. You should create your own thread in Scam Accusations where you write about your case and attach screenshots. It will catch more attention there than in this thread. However, if you did create multiple accounts on the website, please note that this is not allowed and in that case the casino can block your funds reasonably.
4351  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Decreasing Bitcoin price volatility on: February 17, 2021, 10:50:46 AM
I think what might stabilize the price is more and more people being Bitcoin hodlers. Then it would be less likely that the majority would react similarly to major news and events, triggering bull or bear trends. But that's just my intuition, it might not actually be true. As for the dynamics of volatility, I wonder if anyone figured out a way to calculate it and give proper assessment and whether it's a fact that Bitcoin is not more stable nowadays than in early years. But when I see the charts, it seems to me that the price was more jumpy in 2013-2014 than it was in 2018-2019 if we're talking about percentage. And I couldn't fine the data about the early years of Bitcoin, but I think the change in percentage was even higher.
4352  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Has Bitcoin Failed as Money? on: February 17, 2021, 10:28:27 AM
It's a great question because it seems that many shifted easily from seeing Bitcoin as money to seeing it as a store of value. I, however, still wait till I can buy food in BTC in a local supermarket. The fees are very high, especially when the price is changing rapidly and people suddenly become more active. I think the idea of accepting zero-confirmation transactions which was discussed on the forum is worthy of attention because it's a simple solution that might at lest work in the meantime. I hope that the idea of Bitcoin as money is not outdated, and we'll see it being implemented within our lifetimes.

The website looks simple, but quite okay for playing. However, I wanted to ask about you being licensed by Bustabit. Is there any proof of that you could provide? If so, it would be good to see it on the website, so that other people with similar questions can easily see it. I also didn't see whether you ask for ID or not, and in which cases. This info should be available in the Terms of Service because it's important to many gamblers. And do you have a minimum deposit or just a minimum withdrawal?
I also wanted to ask whether the fee is fixed on 20 bits, or it is 20 bits for the minimum withdrawal, but higher for bigger ones.
4354  Economy / Gambling / Re: Joker7: 98% RTP Bitcoin gambling platform on: February 14, 2021, 12:03:34 PM
Since the website's very new, how about some welcome bonus for new users to test the games and give feedback? I also wanted to say that your Terms of Service are way too short and don't contain some important information. What is the minimum deposit and withdrawal? What is the maximum bet (you should set something like this or otherwise you might not be able to pay out the winnings because you simply don't have enough money)? What is your KYC policy?
And I had trouble understanding this one:

This is not a very “professional” company. This is an idea that will add value to both the platform’s team and its users.
I just don't understand how to interpret it and what kind of value it somehow adds.
4355  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin before and now on: February 14, 2021, 11:36:51 AM
We have seen a massive surge in bitcoin price since we enter into 2021 almost same, trend happen in 2017-2018, only there is a big difference, in a situation today before, I think it was just a pump, but there is a big difference in this year's price rally things that are notable are the following, the influence of Elon musk, Visa considers to enter to cryptocurrency, Paypal decided to open to cryptocurrency, banks, and other institutions open its door to the possibility of using it, suddenly this year pandemic helps cryptocurrency get into the spotlight in the positive note, although there is still negativity being thrown, I think most institution study it and they realize the possibilities and important of blockchain overall.

The support seems stronger this time than it was in 2017, I agree with that. However, I still think the price got pumped too fast, and it's overhyped. For years, there was barely enough support for $10k, and now suddenly a few events occur and Bitcoin is worth four of five times as much? I think it's a huge overreaction of the market, and eventually it will end with at least a 50% decrease of the price. It's not adopted that much in comparison with 2019, and it's not used or widely accepted that significantly. So the price is still largely justified by FOMO, and this can't last forever.
4356  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ever wondered about the lowest transaction fee that you could ever pay ? on: February 14, 2021, 11:24:44 AM
I'm just never risking it with the fees because there's a good chance of a transaction not being rejected, but just being stuck for a long time. I remember that back in 2017, a friend of mine got greedy because the transaction fee was about $20, but she just chose to pay, like $1. The transaction remained unconfirmed definitely longer than a week, and I think it was even a few weeks before it was finally confirmed when the average fees went down, but I'm not sure about that because it was a long time ago. It's usually better to pay up and not worry because once it gets stuck, it's hard to facilitate the process.
4357  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Some important tips about the bitcoin market on: February 13, 2021, 06:43:26 PM
I think we should really stop focusing so much on buying Bitcoin because what's the point of buying if you have to sell it at some point to actually use it? We need to focus on adoption of Bitcoin as money, and whether it's growing with BTC's growth of popularity. It's also important to address the issues that prevent large-scale adoption, such as very expensive fees which are the case whenever there's high traffic.
And if we're talking about investing, I think that buying only what you can afford to lose is a better advice than buying as much as you can.
4358  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I messed up and feel terrible about it on: February 13, 2021, 06:12:57 PM
I messed up, big time. I don't think I've messed up that much in a long time.
I sold my almost last bit of Bitcoin I had, (about 0.03 BTC), during yesterday's new all-time high at approximately 37.000 Euros. It's definitely a small amount, close to nothing, especially when comparing to what you guys probably have, but I totally screwed up.

I did it thinking that the price would crash later on, then proceed to spend that money to buy more Bitcoin, but I don't see that happening. I should have kept my balance intact, 0.03 BTC would still be 0.03 BTC, now, in order to buy back I'd have to spend way more money than I would. I think that I might be panicking way too much for nothing, I mean it can't continue rising forever, but the thought of regret is eating me.



If you profited from it, it's totally fine. But buying back now would make you lose money, so that would be messed up. Financial decisions are yours and yours only, but I wouldn't buy BTC at such a high price. After all, Bitcoin always seems to go down eventually, and go down quite significantly. But selling and then buying at a higher price is clearly something involving a loss of money which then has to be compensated by the price rising even more. If your plan was to wait for the crash, maybe waiting for it is not a bad idea. Of course, it might never come, but it's still early to say for sure and waiting for a bit to see where this is going doesn't seem that bad.
4359  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Updated list of countries that are not friends to Bitcoin. on: February 13, 2021, 05:59:12 PM
It's not all black and white. China is quite a hostile place, but crypto mining is still concentrated there. As for Russia, it's cool that trading is allowed, and not recognizing Bitcoin as legal tender is a very typical policy for regulating cryptocurrencies. As for Nigeria, I hope this will be overwritten soon because Bitcoin seems to be quite important there.
To the list of unstable countries I'd also add India who keeps introducing and removing the ban of cryptos.
In many countries Bitcoin and cryptos in general remain in the gray area when they're neither legal nor illegal, so these countries could also be added to the list (especially since Russia is there), but I think that this lack is regulations is actually not that bad for the community of crypto users.
4360  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does knowing your sport and teams really make you better at betting on them? on: February 13, 2021, 05:33:46 PM
It is important that you have personal knowledge on sports that you are betting on. Basic knowledge is good however diving deep to stats is better. In that way you are increasing your chance to win in every bet and will also boost your confidence knowing that you knew a lot about the from basic to advance informations about any game.
It's surely better theoretically, and when I was starting my active betting, I thought so as well. But now I see some people who definitely know way more about football and the teams than me, and yet they're doing worse than me on average. This is what made me wonder if what seems obvious is actually true and whether successful betting on sports is truly about diving deep into sports.
Knowing what game and not knowing how the players play, how will you judge who can win and who would lose?
I make my picks based on three things: the odds, match history between these teams and how the team played their games this season. Maybe I've just been lucky the last few rounds, and then all will get back where it's supposed to be, but I'm just drawing on my current experience and asking others to share theirs.
