High risk and high reward is normal in gambling. In this case, it was a parlay bet, and the edge is not really on the bettors. However, @OP was strong enough to risk a decent amount of money for a huge return, and they deserve their win. At least with sports betting, the house edge should be lower than other types of gambling, which is why the sports betting industry is the biggest in the gambling industry.
There is no house edge in sports betting, what do you mean by it should be lower than other types of gambling? How can sports betting have a house edge when the result isn't generated through an algorithm or a program but it depends on the game being played in reality by the teams or players? OP deserved the wins because he probably had enough knowledge and had surely done some research before placing the bets. The accuracy was perfect for him to hit the jackpot, and that's because he knew what he is doing. |

If today we can have USD as the most reserved and globally recognized money, then having another with time is not what we can doubt for because all it requires is time for bitcoin to become the supreme currency everyone will always wanted to use all over the world, as we cannbow see currently that bitcoin is gaining this massive recognition that is irresistible by fiat or government because the world economy is turning into a digital runnings with bitcoin in this present dispensation.
No matter how widespread Bitcoin's usage and advantages become, even if the whole world adopts Bitcoin and loves it, it would still be difficult for it to become a global reserve currency due to its volatile nature. I don't think that a country or countries would reserve their money in a currency that can decrease in value at any given time. That would be devastating. I know that it can also grow, but that's a different thing, and we need to see all the possible outcomes. Bitcoin is not supposed to be used that way anyway, so we should let it be the way it is and let the world leverage it for things that fit its nature and that don't make it lose its integrity at all. |

I used to do this when I had the luxury of time. You'll gain a few $$$ every now and then, but to me it isn't really worth it unless you have the big bucks in your pocket that you can risk at a moment's notice. You also have to be updated on a lot of sports events at the same time in order to keep up with the necessary number of bets required to make this activity fruitful and worth your while. It's like a full-time job, but you have the knowledge, the patience, and the money in order to make bank.
In my experience, I never try arbitraging in sports it seems to be an easy thing to do right but then from what I am seeing it requires some time to spend because you need to make a research about sports teams so it cannot be really easy. As what you have said it requires a huge amount of money as well then I think it will also be like the arbitraging that we are doing in trading the only difference it we need to research teams stats and rosters in this gambling. It may seem easy if you are only a spectator watching from a third-person perspective, but it isn't if you are involved yourself. It is time-consuming and definitely requires a lot of research and analysis before you can place the bets, you should also have information and details about each bookie where you will place the bets. You may also need to be careful since it could be dangerous for your money as bookies don't really like such activities. If found guilty, you may lose your funds permanently to the house and never get them back. |

Threads with reviews like this, can be manipulated by the competition. It does not take a lot of effort to create "dummy" accounts to attack the reputation of their competition. Alt accounts can be bought with little effort and a thread like that can be derailed by these accounts.  We have a scam accusation section on this forum, where we deal with "dark" operators... and I think it is quite affective to sort out most of these issues.  False accusations are pulled apart in that section, so the chance for manipulation are smaller, because it is focused on that. On point! The forum, as we've seen in the past, is always vulnerable to such cheating and abusive efforts when it comes to providing ratings or reviews and stuff. If users can abuse Merit system, which is clearly the biggest abuse preventive system implemented on the forum till date, then I doubt they can pretty easily do it with what OP is demanding. Forums structure and how things are dealt with right now is basically just okay for casinos and their reputation. It is totally up to them if how they can keep their reputation on the forum clean and deal with accusations and blames with grace. |

I'm also somewhat amazed to see the decline that occurred in bitcoin. But that's what happened, and we have to accept it, and we better start putting up the purchase price so that we don't miss buying bitcoin. Now is a good time to accumulate bitcoins again as the price may decline further than yesterday. And don't panic in facing the current market conditions because this is all temporary and gives us time to prepare ourselves by having more bitcoins. We can still hope that the situation will change for the better next week and we can see the price increase again.
Why would you be surprised? Anyone who has been in the market for a while knows that bitcoin is very volatile, and a 9% correction in 1 day is all too common. We're not over the bear season yet, and the bitcoin price drop is something I think everyone is prepared for. I'm not surprised by bitcoin falling back, I see it as better news than panic because we will have more opportunities to collect bitcoin cheaply. I have not received this month's salary, I will deduct part of my savings to buy bitcoin at this price, and when I receive my salary, I will refill my savings, I think this price is really good for me. Not a newbie here anymore but to be honest I also feel a little surprised to see Bitcoin drops under $20k. We know that Bitcoin is a volatile coin but we have this impression that the bull run is already forming and the new strong support we have is now $23k or $22k. Oh well, what can we do? The unexpected have already happened. I guess the best thing to do for now is to just accumulate more Bitcoins. If there is a trend in which people are prepared right now, that would be the bull run and not the bear because we already have much of it last year. Your decision of buying now might be a good idea because we don't know what if the price will recover later on. |

Social media has exploded in the last decade, and Twitter is predicted to grow exponentially. If Musk wants to turn his thoughts into reality I think it makes sense even if he wants to turn Twitter into a bank it makes sense too. If this goes yes I think It will be a great achievement for the financial world in the future but anyway, we'll just have to wait and see how it turns out.
So many factors help them to explode. The main one would be the smartphones and cheap mobile internet. We also experience a Covid where people mostly stays at home. If there are social media who are being use the most I think that would be Facebook and not Twitter and this can be the reason why Elon is going to step up his game in order to keep up with Facebook or possibly overcome it. Whatever Musk thinks he always gets it but let's admit it, it will still be weird if Twitter will turned into a bank though I wouldn't mind adding cryptos on it. This is what we are always waiting for especially if he will choose Doge coin as its main coin. |

Watching the current market and the demise of ALL crypto ... is this the end for certain coins?
How do people think the likes of ETH, ADA, XRP, TRON etc will go from here?
Maybe some coins are already dead because they can't survive the bearish and some other coins can't keep up with the trend in the crypto space so they end up abandoned by their community. Right now a lot of coins updating their roadmap and their services to the trend. We will see a lot of projects already supporting NFT, Metaverse and Web3 because they don't want to be left behind. There must be a reason on why they can't survive the bearish trend. It can be lack of community support or they are simply built for scamming. Other than bear and bull trends, we also have different trends here in crypto. The latest one would be the AIs. Even if many old coins can't relate with it, they can still grow on their own. they have solid supporters who won't leave them on the air. Some of their supporters might be tempted to try the newer trends/coins but they will only invest a little amount on those. Those who update their roadmaps are not confident with what they currently offer. They feel that not many people are attracted with them, so they do their best to improve. That was still a good initiative. |

You are scamming yourself op thanks to your delusional thoughts which are silly and dumb frankly speaking. If probably fair systems were truly unfair as you mentioned, those sites would have gone out of business a long time ago.
Why? Because not all gamblers are naive and gullible. Many of them including me check whether such systems are truly fair or not before deciding to invest in those sites.
Some of them turn out to be legit while some turn out to be unfair. Do your research!
Whether it's a gambling platform or anything in general that involves money, research is required before putting the money at risk if the service provider turns out to be untrustworthy, there is nothing you can really do later other than just regretting your initial decisions which won't give you your money back. So it's better if a person does his due diligence before getting into a casino, depositing money, and playing and then later find out that their provably fair system is rigged or they are basically compromising all the bets. |

Elon could have used his Twitter ownership to drive Dogecoin's price, which would have been easy for him. And without the pumps or tweets that people like Elon are doing, I think it would be very difficult for Dogecoin to go as high as it did before. Maybe Elon is planning something for Dogecoin, but it looks like Elon is also paying great attention to other coins like Shiba. If you want to bet with Dogecoin, I think you should only use the money you can afford because we don't know when Dogecoin will increase and what the highest price will be. But we shouldn't rely on Elon because there are many other potential coins that we can choose to make a profit.
He has probably got better things to do first than to Tweet about meme coins to provide a pump for their fans. He probably only does that when he got a little bit of free time (Though I doubt if he ever gets free time. ) but apart from that, he got big projects and companies to look after. So people who are only waiting for Elon to make it pump it should never buy in the first place. Meme coins are only good for investing when they are released newly and have almost no value at all. You can accumulate a whole lot of it with just $10, and if your luck works, that $10 can convert to $100 or even $1,000. |

That was a huge bet, and it's a loss. If that's a win, then it's okay. I am not sure if this happened to me before, as I am always keen on checking zeros before hitting a bet because, as you know, I am very into attention to details and I don't want to be wrong, so I always check it. You should be always double checking this or also try to bet like using other forms of cryptocurrency that are whole like doge so that you won't be having problems on zeros, but if you are just keen on checking it then it is okay.
If it's destined to happen, it will happen no matter what a person does to prevent this from happening. If we use tokens that are whole, we will definitely do something like instead of betting 44, we will bet 444 and that again will be a problem. The only thing that can prevent this from happening is the presence of mind at that moment and your luck. If a person is not destined to lose money on that day, even if they make such a mistake, they will win the bet and then once they realize that they messed up the first bet, they would change it but fortunately, they would still be able to play more since they didn't lose the unintentional big bet. |

No system is perfect and even blockchain and with the classification of the use cases of blockchain through different projects like solana, we're seeing the vulnerability of it depending on how it's built. Too many times have it failed and that's why in my eyes, it's not the project where I'll invest. I'll give some examples of the news that has been reported about its network outage issues.
Yeah, no projects are perfect and so as Solana but I won't say it failed because the coin is still there and its team is trying to resolve the coins issue. I think that what's important there. Projects like that should earned our respect so they are the ones that we must invest with and not those projects that can only come and go. I think it is simply time to forget about this project, just as eos, xem, and even bch were forgotten in their time.
BCH can be forgotten because this coin was only a fork of Bitcoin and it doesn't have much importance as EOS and XEM but I don't think people have forgotten them either. I haven't heard any major issues with them. These coins might only be sleeping because we are in a long-term bear market but once the bull market comes. I am sure that these two coins will woke up. |

Liverpool seems to have slowly climbed out of a very deep valley. They are of course still far below their normal ranking on the list, but qualification for the CL is in any case in sight again. Since they are almost certainly eliminated in the CL this season. The difference with Tottenham is 3 points, but Liverpool have played a game less. So I can see that working out. 7 points gap with United is also big, maybe too big but Liverpool is a team that can only win 7 games in a row. I see United lose a few points. Arsenal and Man City are out of category this season, but we could expect that from City too.
Liverpool is now in the 5th position in the points table. And Tottenham have improved their game a lot and are able to play much better in matches. Meanwhile, Man United is 7 points ahead of Liverpool. So Liverpool can collect these points at any time and overtake Tottenham and Man United, but then it is doubtful whether they can fight with Man City or not. Liverpool's next match is against Bournemouth. I think Liverpool will win this match and collect some good point Right now, with most chances we are having three teams at the top and no chance for any other to touch them Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United these are having their respective spots, but main clash is between Tottenham and Liverpool for the last spot and Newcastle United is already on decline after having the worst performance in last five matches currently they are sixth with most chances they can go down which could be disaster after having one of the best season at the top four. Liverpool is now having match against Bournemouth which is in relegation zone, and they are not going to have any chance against them and Tottenham is also going to face Nottingham which is also on poor run with this all most chance this race is going to be tough until end of this season. |

Odds for PSG to win the second leg is @4.2 hehe. I would normally take that rare chance on a team led by Messi or Mbappe but I'll pass this time hehe. It's just unfortunate that the odds for both teams to score is only @1.4 I would certainly place a bet if it's around @1.7
They have nothing to lose at this point so they will attack from the start for sure and try to disrupt Munich's rhythm early on. I'm still with the German team to qualify to the next round.
I am feeling PSG is going to be tough opponent for this match with mostly peoples are feeling this is easy game for the Bayern Munich specially after having good result in Paris, but soccer is unpredictable game with as we have result in English Premier League match Manchester United vs Liverpool, so things can take change here as well with PSG is also having one of the best attack in UEFA and Bayern Munich is also not good as we have them but for me here any result in possible in first two matches of this round we have home wins but now here today I am expecting first away win with odds as you already posted are also good because these are surely good and juicy which are attracting many. |

The market is changing from time to time. In 2021, there was hype is bitcoin going to be 100K dollars. But it was stopped at 69K. If you remember 2013, the same hype is there. On those days we will assume BTC is going to the 10K. But I think 2025 is the year for bitcoin for the next bull run. I am waiting for the mass adoption of bitcoin by global users. After that next bull run will start.
I think we are already seeing mass adoption, the world is coming to know about Bitcoin and adoption is on the rise, but it will still take some time for the bull run to start. Currently, the price is pretty low, and it's projected to go even lower. So no matter what, we are still in the bear market as per the price values of cryptocurrencies. The hype of Bitcoin will now always be there. I believe there are no countries, no cities left where people are unaware of Bitcoin or blockchain technology. They've surely heard of it somehow even if they know about it or not, it's fun meeting them. |

It's been 7 years already since the @OP posted this thread but I wonder what happened to him, I mean if he successfully win the lottery on Freebitco or he is still looking forward on hitting it? Not only the lottery but winning something decent in their hourly rolls is also hard fck. I think the only way to increase our chance to win is by referring a lot of active users on the site. Doing so can earn us a ticket aside from some Bitcoins as a commission. Other than that we can also buy tickets manually or play their multiply btc (hi-lo) game. I too never won their lottery but there are people who have posted their lottery winning proofs in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=320959.0This thread is for their hourly rolls > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1850855.0 |

I'm not sure if Bayern are willing to sign Harry Kane for 100 million. at the very least, Bayern would prefer an easier talent. there is still Oshimen, at least it is better to bring in Oshimen at a fantastic price than to bring in Harry Kane. apart from age, Osimhen is also young.
On the other hand, other rumors report that Manchester United are reportedly optimistic that they can get Harry Kane in the transfer market next summer. and several British media reports claim that The Red Devils have met representatives of the Spurs star. the results were positive, the Man United camp considered they had a chance to bring Kane to Old Trafford.
well, so the problem now is the price set by the Totteham Hotspur camp. but considering the price set by Spurs with a tag of 100 million, it seems that it will be difficult to bring in Harry Kane in the transfer market next summer.
Sometime back there were rumors about this and Bayern Munich also asked about this deal, but there was no positive reply from Tottenham and Harry Kane, so things was ended without any prior notice with this now most chances he is going to stay in England until end of his career because he is feeling comfortable with this all because there were three big clubs those were interested in signing him Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester United, but he is in love with Tottenham Hotspur and most chances he will end his career here as right now he is all-time highest goalscorer at this club and third in England things looking good but if we have some dilemma at Tottenham then surely we can expect some changes but most chances he will stay here and play for this club where he already spent his rest of the career. |

It was an important win for Fenerbahçe, Kayserispor could not score during the match. I wanted Fener to win this match, it was as I expected and wanted. Fenerbahçe fans were not taken to the stands, they played without fans watching. Despite this, Fenerbahçes players saluted the empty stands, we watched something nice  For Fenerbahçe, the spiritual meaning of this match was high. Fenerbahce, who managed to beat Kayserispor 2-1, continues to compete for leadership in the league. Galatasaray continues its leadership. I see a very low probability of Fenerbahçe becoming the champion in the league this season because there is a Galatasaray dominating the league right now. They are very strong and are a tough team to beat. Galatasaray's dominance in league is impressive as now they are having more than ten matches winning streak which is surely giving them early title hopes with Fenerbahçe is surely tough competitor but things clearly favoring Galatasaray as they are unstoppable and can claim good win with good performance and improved quality Fenerbahçe is again had to be settled at the second spot there are also having good performance, but Galatasaray quality completely outclass them, and they have no answers of their questions which is surely amazing stuff but hopefully now things could be improved in coming weeks and also in next season Trabzonspor the defending champions are completely out of the contest with most chances they could be going to end their season at fourth or fifth spot. |

Your win or loss depends on how fortunate you are in any game at any given time. You could lose today and ended up winning big tomorrow. In the game of Casino, you win some and lose some. Some win extremely big while others don't. I don't think any casino is out there intentionally scamming you. No. It is your chances that is playing out in real time. If you are lucky enough to hit the right number, you smile to the bank.
Though it's true that winning or losing in gambling depends on one's luck, and that a casino doesn't necessarily stop you from winning, but, casinos have a house edge which makes the house have more probability of winning over the gambler, and that's how the gambling business model works. So if someone questions that, I don't think they will be right. About scams, I don't also believe that guy in the video that casinos actually make certain users lose based on analysis and statistics. Of course it's their marketing strategy to keep the big rollers engaged but it is only the house-edge that makes them lose in the long run. |

After losing 5 consecutive games Quetta Gladiators finally got a victory today. Special thanks to Martin Guptill for 86 runs innings on just 57 balls otherwise there is no chance of Gladiator victory today. Quetta both victories are against Karachi Kings, they failed to get victory against anyother team so far in this season. Sarfraz also has a good day with as he scored 29 runs on 25 balls. Its tough but not impossible for Quetta to reach semi final stage.
long determination and hardwork pay off and they finally become victorious after too much defeats. No doubt game were out of hands for Quetta but with the help of Martin Guptill and captain sarfaraz some how they manage to chase this target. Quetta win this match but it can't help them to move to the next round because it's too late they are almost out of the tournament but they can qualify if Peshawer Zalmi lose his all remaining matches which look impossible but anyway anything can happen lets focus on next upcoming match. An amazing win for the Quetta in this useless match because they are already eliminated from the top four and have no chance to go into playoffs but they still play with their full heart and win this match from nowhere because while I was watching match, and they have 63/5 after ten overs and their all inform batsmen back to pavilion I stopped watching this match and have changed the channel for other interesting program but here Guptill was at his best, and he has good partnership with his captain Sarfraz which was amazing because these both bring back Quetta into match specially Guptill was in aggressive mood with 86 from 56 balls with the help of 4 sixes change the game momentum for the Quetta, and they have second win of this season which is now heading for the end in next few days. |

It's worse in my economy, we don't even have access to our cash as the government decided that the old note was no longer a legal tender and so a new note was sent out, the so-called new note is not even in circulation and we've ended up buying cash with cash cause not everyone accepts transfers.
Imagine giving out 30% of the amount you want to withdraw as charges, not to even talk of the high cost of things in the market.
Acts like this are I think normal. It also happens here in our country where old notes will be replaced by a new one after a long time so always ensure that you don't hoard the old notes for a long time but make sure to spend them or convert them on something which is still relevant even after a long time. You can also keep your money inside a bank. I know there are some fees when we withdraw money from a bank or to an ATM machine but charging 30%? Damn I think that's too high already. Does all banks in your country work like that? If not, then you better pull out your money on that current bank you are using and transfer it to a much fairer bank. |
