441  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The difference between a true Crypto gambling site and a Fiat/Crypto site.. on: July 26, 2020, 08:26:28 PM
I think that differences among crypto and fiat gambling casinos are not that much in game offers and features but more in legal and regulation background. Differences in deposit.and withdrawal conditions are not that big.
There are a lot illegal crypto casinos because they are not under strict regulation and authorities don't pay so much attention to them. Also, fiat gamblers are different type of players and they have different approach, they are maybe more interested in security and trustworthy than to fast withdrawal. It's not a rule of course.

I understand that we all appreciate our privacy but KYC is not a threath to it, it's actually for our protection too.
For some reason many think they have the right to stay completely anonimous in virtual world although that is not possible in real world. Some want to hide something and some are hiding behind illegal activities.
I think there is a lack of education and culture how to behave online, in virtual world.
Many people will not argue ar all when they have to show their ID in physical casino, bank or whatever place else but they are very angry when online casino asks the same. To be honest, I can't understand that.
443  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Las Vegas Casinos are open - end of the Pandemic era. on: July 26, 2020, 10:01:49 AM
The pandemic is still very active. I think they'll have to close Las Vegas soon.

I doubt it. The peak incidence is presumably behind and the health care system has a large margin of safety. But with the economy, everything is much worse and most likely the second wave of quarantines and severe restrictions will be fatal for it.

At what point do you suppose the pandemic will over-run Las Vegas (or any other major US city) given you don't seem to think there is anything wrong in the US at the moment with the nearing run-away numbers of cases?

The cases are climbing there and yet gamblers and visitors keep coming. In my opinion, it will be better for them to be close again, however, I think they are balancing the problem once they close it and when they continue operating it. If its open, new cases will happen and people will die. If they close it, unemployment, hunger, etc. More problem for the economy, so they have choose. And I think people from above will choose the risk of facing the virus, as long as they are the one that are safe.

Its possible to be suspended once again if there are a lot of employee who are reported as new cases, it will be blast contract tracing for sure.

The number of infected people is increasing however if casinos get fully closed that might be the end of their business. I don't think they can survive another lock down and just imagine how many employees will then stay without a job. I think that can still continue with their business but with limited number of gamblers allowed, they should keep the distance and wear masks. Yes, that is far away from usual atmosphere in casinos but it's still better than lockdown.
444  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Current Bullish & Bearish scenario on: July 26, 2020, 06:51:54 AM
The price continue to consolidate and observe the wicks in the past days and weeks, the price is always resisting near resistance levels at $10,000. There will be a rally if the price managed to breakout but for me it is a major resistance so the bitcoin will have a hard time to break it.  The daily volume is still in daily average but if we see a unique and massive volume then it can be a sign that there is now a transitioning in terms of trend.
It seems, bitcoin price hard to break $9,600, and I think it is another challenge for bitcoin to surge higher. But I am sure that bitcoin price break that price and bitcoin will have a chance to go to $10k, whether it will happen at the end of this week, or another week, or even next months. The volume now looks good, so bitcoin will have more chance to increase, but we need to be more patient to wait.
^ It seems we are now heading to $10K price and bitcoin has almost on $10k price. Probably you are right that we need to extend our patient because this also could may a trap that possible there is a huge correction after surging in the market. We have been observed movement like this. I am not good at technical analysis as what others do but I have oftenly read news that probably affect to the bitcoin price too not only by plotting chart.

Almost at 10000$ prrice but on the other hand it seems so far away. We've been.in.such situations many times and it turned out that Bitcoin is struggling hard to reach 10000$ and when it comes there corrections happen very fast so it's hard to stay at that level or even go above.
Although it looks now that price is heading towards 10000$ I'm not so sure that will actually get there.
445  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sports betting biggest winners. on: July 25, 2020, 08:45:48 PM
How would you do that guys? do you consistently bet on parlay with big odds?

I do bet but not often. I am not the kind of person that place a big bet on anything. I am afraid of losing but seeing people on the list with corresponding amount of winning is quite surprising for me. I can't believe that it is possible to earn that kind of amount through betting only. Maybe they win often than lose.

It is possible but very rare that it will happen. So if you are not lucky enough, you will not get that kind of winnings. But in sports betting, the chance is relatively high as compared to gambling games which are based on luck. Because if you are a fan of a particular sport and it is like you live and breathe with that sport, I believe you have good odds of winning.

Chances are bigger in sports betting because besides luck some knowledge can help also. If you follow some sport and know exact situation your chances for winning are better and you have at least something to rely on besides luck. However, for big winning you need to play big and not anyone can afford it.
446  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 1.1 BTC in 35 Days on Sportsbet.io on: July 25, 2020, 07:28:32 PM
It's too big, that also needs a good capital to others to keep or know the pattern of their betting. Before winning big their is a need to know some pattern (which may not visible in just few games) or which never can see unless we tried to bet like OP 2000x bets as his experience since 2016. 

no theres no patterns here in sports betting because the players and the teams are changing from time to time  but is there a pattern on a non sport betting gambling ? i believe there isnt too  
You don't actually need long experience same as with the OP or even patterns (if there really is lol) because you only need to depend on technical analysis. So if you are fond of sports long time ago already and worrying since you are new in sportsbetting, don't worry. Achieving 1.1 btc or even more is not impossible since you already familiarize how the game works Smiley.

@shoreno ~ Yeah! I believe so too because most of the games remaining are luck-based already like dice, roulettes, slot machines and strategy-based like card games.

Your knowledge is your key tool to achieve this success. Sports betting is more on analyzing and understanding the types of games
that you are dealing with, money management and a good time reviewing every potential games to bet with. No doubt with OP's years
of experienced that he can take those risk that he have right now. I't a huge amount of money that really in stake while he's trying to
achieve his goal.

When it comes to sports betting knowledge about sport you bet and experience definetely help, more than in other types of betting. How, you need some luck also and just like you've noticed you also need a quite a sum to play for a longer period of time to finaly get paid off in some more significant amount. And you need to be brave player too, be ready to take the risk.
447  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why people run away from trading!!! on: July 25, 2020, 04:40:27 PM
Actually trading is best opportunity of make money . But if you are newbie you must have a enough and enough knowledge about trade .But some of people without proper knowledge they make investment as a result they are losses lot of fund.proper mind setup, and lot of fund and lot of knowledge can make happiness on trade.

It could be the best opportunity to make money if you know what are you doing. But many people just go into trading like some hobby without proper basic knowledge and information and the failure is inevitable.
To my opinion trading is not for everyone and not everyone can be successful in trading. Otherwise we would all make the fortune only by trading.
448  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Life soundtrack for Gamblers? on: July 25, 2020, 02:19:06 PM
<...>

Can you suggest more songs related to gambling but for new generations millennial and up. Any suggestions please.
So your target market is the new gen millennials? I really don't have a specific music in mind but for those market, maybe an upbeat background music would be good. Upbeat but not deafeningly annoying.

That would hype their mood but keep them focused. I personally feel that way whenever I hear an upbeat music and I guess it also pumps the adrenaline. Original music would be good as well so there would be no copyright issues.



That music could be motivating although I don't know what millenials like when gambling, I'm not in that category. But I know that many gamblers including myself  don't like that music is too distracting so that I can focus more on gambling. For this soundtrack to be success, deep, good analysis of target group is needed.
449  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread on: July 25, 2020, 10:33:44 AM

Atalanta is the most beautiful fairy tale of the last 40 years of Italian football, it reminds me very much of Leicester and Leipzig, but unlike them they don't have the opportunity to win the championship, but in my opinion it will make a great game against PSG and give us a dream, what do you think?


sure, I agree everything you say about this small team with great potential!
I think the chances of winning the cup are very low (for lack of experience) but it will certainly give headaches to the bigger teams ahahaha
I think they will fear it (i hope)

They don't have much experiences, that is true, and therefore the pressure might be too big for them. They will not win the cup, I'm sure of that but they are a team with huge potential and if they continue to build they play they will be real threath to bigger teams. Fingers crossed for them!
450  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to Protect Yourself from Fraudulent Bitcoin Giving on: July 25, 2020, 07:12:18 AM
Remember what they say, there is no such thing as free lunch. I think that people are often very naive and not aware they can easy become a scam victims.
To my opinion the key for that is education and awarness, everyone needs to learn how to protect himself online because that has because our new reality
I don't fall for any offers, don't click on links in emails sent from unknown persons and don't believe that someone will give me something for nothing.
451  Economy / Economics / Re: How do you estimate resilience of economy in your country? on: July 24, 2020, 08:46:46 PM
I feel that my country's economic resilience is quite low.  The reason is that, corrupt officials saw an opportunity in this pandemic.  They(corrupt official)  rob them(beneficiaries) of the supposedly financial aid in times of crisis and the government seems too slow to address the issue.  Aside from that, I hate to admit that, in my country, there are lots of government officials who are incompetent.   And it was exposed in this pandemic.  Their actions and decision in addressing issues in relation on minimizing the spread of the virus and re-establishing the economy are so pathetic, even claiming to flatten the curve when the result on positive cases had grown a lot.

Unfortunately many countries experienced the same. A lot of corrupted officials that want to use pandemic for their own gain instead of serving community. I always say that bad things encourage also many bad in people and this pandemic has proven this theory. In some countries politicians really don't care for their citizens and there the crisis will hit people really bad.
452  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ask]; Start betting on horse racing gambling. on: July 24, 2020, 07:41:23 PM
To win a race we need both perfect jockey and the horse then only both can have perfect sync so the horse could produce the full potential strength while running on the track.Imagine a good running horse whipped by a new jockey it won't even reach the second or third position.
These two factor can be called the most decisive thing to achieve the best result. Experienced jockey can maximize the potential strength of a horse while racing.

Jockey and horse are two factor that will determine the victory in horse racing. I think if both are determined and we have chosen then only luck can we expect to win.

So if we can have the information about those two factors, we will have the opportunity to choose the right horse and jockey, which can give us a chance to win. But sometimes, even if we can get good information, if the situation is changed, the other horse can win the game, and we will lose the money. That will depend on luck in the final things that we need to win.

But isn't it like that in every sport betting? No matter the information and knowledge you have about certain sport you still need a luck too because surprises are always possible and there is no guarantee for winingn. The same is with horse racing, both jockey and the horse can have the bad day and your bet will fail.
453  Economy / Speculation / Re: Are we headed for 250k btc in 12-18 months? on: July 24, 2020, 05:16:00 PM
I like people that very optimistic when it comes to bitcoin price, we know that this is the most anticipated event that usually crypto holders want and they wish. But frankly speaking, $250k within the year, it's a kinda impossible thing for me.

As we can see bitcoin price was doing good right now, I don't see any reason why it will dump next week or next month, if there is, I am sure it was a short correction but surely there will be an always resistance.

The demand and supply will be effective can be used as an indicator to predict the price, but as of now, we are ranging on $9k price.

It's nice to see optimists, yes, that is true but we need to keep our feet on the ground. $250k is way exaggerated preduction having in mind current situation in the market, as well as past few movements. Bitcoin is struggling to get to 10000$ and that seems like a goal hard to achieve. So, think twice about $250k for thet we would need very sharp and very fast continuous price rise for a longer period of time which is not likely to happen.
454  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how big? on: July 24, 2020, 12:13:49 PM
yeah the wager image you provided is a legend website that still survives and has many users or players, imagine how rich the website developer is, at least a gambling website should be like this and can provide many choices or bonuses that can be claimed every hour and provide opportunities for the players to try.
That gambling site still runs until now, and that is normal if they can get that huge money because we know that many gamblers are still playing on that site. We can claim every hour of the free coins if we don't want to gamble, and they allow us to do that. But we can not expect to get big money from that because the reward will adjust to the bitcoin price.

Not only that, they are in the gambling industry for more than 5 years already, they are one of the pioneers here in crypto gambling industry. And look at their ranking and number of visits, you can tell why they are profitable. https://www.similarweb.com/website/freebitco.in/
 


The sad thing is that there are not so many trustworthy and long running gambling sites like this is. But that is the guarantee they will survive and attract even more players if they keep that way. I always prefere ti stick to the sites like this one where I know I have quality and security instead of trying new ones all the time thinking they will offer something more.
455  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's your favorite crypto for gambling? on: July 24, 2020, 11:43:52 AM
If the game itself does not take place on the blockchain, then of course the ETH, it is liquid, fast enougth and reliable. If the game takes place on the blockchain, then something faster is needed (this is theoretical reasoning, I do not play such games), something like EOS.

That is very logical explanation but personaly I think it's not very convenient to have too.much different coins, each dedicated for certain games. That is too much trouble for me so I like to stick to simple solution that fits all and that is ETH that is great for gambling although I often use Bitcoin too.
456  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Best Bitcoin Wallet? on: July 24, 2020, 09:04:51 AM
I can recommend Electrum wallet. One of the oldest trusted wallet, has multiple options and I never had any issues. Also, for on the go Mycelium is very good, secure and trustworthy. My general recommendation is to choose multiple wallets and split funds, not to keep everything at one storage. It's much safer.
457  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Illegal mass adoption on: July 23, 2020, 07:46:23 PM
To be honest, this is the first time I've heard about illegal Bitcoin ATMs.

this is not the first time to be honest with you. there has been multiple other cases. it seems like some people think just because bitcoin is decentralized and doesn't need any license to be used, they can also run a bitcoin ATM without any license or stuff like that.
here is a case from 2018 in India as an example:
https://www.news18.com/news/india/indias-first-bitcoin-atm-seized-owner-arrested-for-illegal-kiosk-1918235.html

For me this is also something I hear of for the first time but I can't say I'm surprised. You're right, just because Bitcoin is decentralized and independent many think that everything is allowed and that Bitcoin are its related services are out of any kind of law and regulation. Of.course that it's not true but some people ignore it and that is why Bitcoin is often involved in different illegal or half illegal activities.
458  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sports betting biggest winners. on: July 23, 2020, 04:02:36 PM
If you keep betting, you will probably win, that's the only thing you have to do.
The probability of winning even if you bet every day for years straight is so low you will most likely end up losing everything you've gambled rather than winning anything at all. Besides luck, there's not much you can do to improve your chances - maybe sports betting like you're playing, but even there you still have a luck factor in the game..

That is the most common mistake.some gamblers make, they think if you gamble all the time sooner or later you will win big. Buz we know that isn't true and such theory might even lead to losses.
Gamblers depend on luck, we all know that however in sports gambling sone knowledge and information might be very helpful
459  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do you think the price of Bitcoin can exceed 10 thousand dollars at the present on: July 23, 2020, 12:57:12 PM
At a time when the world is in the throes of an epidemic and everyone's economy is in dire straits, I can't see any reason for the sudden rise in the price of Bitcoin. Do you think there is any reason for Bitcoin to go up so much?
Let’s watchout the price of bitcoin as we observe there are many speculation that it could reach an all time high again. But, the fact no one knows yet when it will happen, the current price did not surpass yet at least to $10k. Many users are waiting for this to happen to exceed to ten thousand dollars so we still have the months before this year ends.

Yes, the price hasn't surpassed 10000$ yet and it seems that it will not for a while. Price sticks around 9000$ for quite a time and there are no signs that this is going to change soon. But we can't rush the market and although many expect this magic line of 10000$ to be broken that might take a while.
460  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: sportsbet.io, do you allow the use of VPNs? on: July 23, 2020, 10:56:04 AM
based on the replies it seems that using a VPN is allowed as long as it doesn't connect your account to another account or break any other of their rules while using a VPN and gambling on their website. we all know that some IP address on a VPN is shared among different users that is why it is important to use a proper VPN.

I don't think it's worth the risk using VPN. Too many things you need to be careful on and still there is no guarantee that something will not get complicated. Some gambling sites and also some countries gamblers come from have certain restrictions that you need to know very well in order to avoid any kind of trouble.
