Do I got it right, UFC249 was announced, but the venue is still unknown, and all still can be cancelled. Or UFC249 will take place on a mystery island, that was talked about on last pages? ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) Petr Yan will clearly not be happy with Dana for the Dominator to be given the next chance to challenge Henry Cejudo. Dominick has not been in the octagon for 3 years, I reckon. @Toptort777 the event is confirmed and will be taking place in Vystar Veterans Memorial Arena, and is closed to the public as per their official announcement. Further whom are you’ll placing your bets on as after quiet a while we’re getting a chance to gamble on sports like this, and I’m spoiled for choices so any recommendations would help a lot.

Today is the last day you can bet on "BITCOIN PRICE - APRIL", and on the prices of some other alts too. I placed 3 bets on BTC, on various regions starting from "$8,001 - $8,500" and above, and 2 on ETH, also optimistic ones. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) What about you, guys? Are you bearish or bullish right now? Bruh, Bitcoin just rocketed up to 7.5K. Your wish might come true! ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) It is funny people see 7.5k+ is a big price right now but not so long ago it was over 9k and people were telling that it was a good price to get in. Bitcoin's market cap is too small it can go above 10k+ in a flash. So I don't see any harm with betting on high numbers. Even 20k is possible in a month imo. I agree with you, and that's why I covered the "$17,501 - $20,000" range, just in case. What I liked about this particular range was that it was possible to cover it with just one bet, ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F5SrtHzf.png&t=663&c=q-IsY6HG50udqQ) and that the outcome odds for it were the highest, even higher than for the "More than $25,000"(399.63), which is much less likely to happen. Apart from betting on ""$8,001 - $8,500", I also covered "$10,001 - $13,000" range, but for that I needed to place 3 bets. All in all, I placed 5 bets on "BITCOIN PRICE - APRIL", but Bitcoin is unpredictable, as we all know, so , it's not like I'm confident about winning something. @Betwrong while I have seen many optimistic members out here on the forum when it comes to bitcoin prices, but in my personal opinion none can match your optimism regarding bitcoin prices, as prices were never going to touch $17501 in April but you yet held faith in bitcoin and placed a bet on those levels. Also you have an excellent chance of winning one of your other two bets as bitcoin prices should shoot upwards due to the current crisis.

If there’s one thing that I have learnt about corporates is that they never let go of any opportunity to make money, even if it means that other people end up loosing their livelihood due to their greedy actions. Hence I’m not surprised to read that 26 million Americans have lost their jobs, but America’s corporates have only added more funds to their kitty. Even during such difficult times all they’re thinking is of themselves, and are only finding more ways to make more money which is really horrible and we all should condemn them.

I don't think its bad that FortuneJack is charging a withdraw fee, I am actually surprised that they didn't introduce it in 2017-2018 when the fees were crazy high for transactions. I remember back then I think FJ paid like $50 per withdraw and I felt bad that they were losing so much money due to fees back then.
Now the fees are more fair, especially on the bitcoin network. Out of all the bitcoin services and exchanges that I use, they and Gemini are the only ones that DON'T charge for withdraw fees. Everything else out there has been charging for withdraw for years.
Even Poloniex back in the <$1000 days still charged a fixed fee of 0.00010000 Sats per withdraw even when the network was pretty much empty. They could of waived the fee but they charged it anyways.
@adaseb what were FJ thinking when they were paying $50 in fees and not collecting it back from the end user, and honestly this is a standard practise that many casinos do so I don’t think that people should get upset about paying a small fee as FJ also needs to take care of it’s expenses. I think 2.5 bucks for a withdrawal is not really that bad neither, if that is the max cap I would totally agree that it should be around that level, anything substantial that should be sent very quickly will take a bit of time. Plus they probably do this with a lot of withdrawals as well at any time which makes their transactions bigger and bigger, which costs a lot more for the top heavy and a lot less for the smaller transactions.
However if this is not the max and it could be more than 2.5 dollars, that starts to go into levels of danger, I wouldn't suggest them to have like 10 bucks per withdrawal thing no matter how much someone withdraws, even if it is thousands of dollars it should be at max 3 bucks or so, bitcoin is not really that expensive to send or receive.
@TheGreatPython I totally agree with you that the fees should not be more than $2.5, unless the network is flooded and there’s no option but to charge high fees to make sure the transaction goes through.

We have some new faces for this week. ~
Note: There are no current competition at the moment..
@milewilda indeed some new faces, but it seems an existing face is off the table (hdf), but I won’t be surprised if he comes back on the table before the week ends. Furthermore the player on the top has taken an unassailable lead, and if someone decides to chase him down then it’ll be super exciting to watch their clash. He maintained his spot on the top with almost 30 BTC wagered.Impressive! ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FpqpC7tp.png&t=663&c=rxQWun7IsUSQWg) @milewilda I too saw this and was going to post it here but as usual you beat me to it lol, and in my personal opinion we may have a new super whale in the house. I cant able to trade bitdice (CSNO token) which i kept in Hitbtc also some in my wallet . Because of this Covid situation i wanted to sell CSNO token but no Where . I was holding this token for the trust of Team . but now its not tradable at all even . Is this token tradable in future or howe can we sell the token . Is there any buyback please let us know about future of this token.
@niisarearning it’s best if you login in your Bitdice account and use the intercom button for support and guidance, and I’m sure that someone from Bitdice team will guide you, alternatively you can even pm @BoXXoB or @Kolloh for help.

If after reading the title you believed that you’re back in 2014 then I won’t blame you, but after all these years there’re reports which are now claiming that Di Maria and more player will be offered by PSG in exchange for Pogba. Furthermore I believe that there’s a 100% chance that this transfer won’t go through, and hence if any sports book is offering any odds on his transfer then we should wager maximum amounts of money as there’s no way Manchester United will take him back. Also I have tried in vain to find a sports book which is offering any odds on his transfer back to his ex club (Manchester United), hence if you know any legit sports books please post below as this is a golden chance to make lots of money.

After almost two months, watched a live cricket match today. Fancode mobile app did broadcast some matches from the Taipei T10 League. Don't ask me much about the quality, because you know the answer. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) But still I was really happy to watch some live action. And as expected, this so called "Taipei League" don't have a single Taiwanese player. All of them are expats. @Vishnu.Reang my heart skipped a beat when I read that there was a live cricket match (during lockdown) and I had missed seeing it, but after reading what I had missed I had to smile and be happy that I missed it. Further I understand your excitement as seeing a live cricket match is rare these days, but I would yet pass the opportunity to see this league as I only like to watch quality cricket even during the lockdown.

Bitmex has taken a giant step towards becoming one of the biggest names in the crypto exchange industry by launching Ethereum Quanto Futures. These futures will allow traders to short Ethereum without actually holding it, and I’m sure people who love to trade on futures will invest big and trade in it. In my personal opinion futures are very risky and not for the weak hearted investor so I’ll give it a pass, but what about others do you’ll have plans to invest in this futures contract?. This new product is the first-ever offered on a crypto derivative product signaling BitMEX ambitions in securing the top spot in this market. The ETH-USD quanto futures carry a ‘fixed Bitcoin multiplier’ instead of the conventional USD-based ETH price allowing traders to long or short ETH/USD. However, traders will not need to touch ETH or USD markets to trade the contracts.

As long as its not book cricket, i am fine with it. One creative way could be, Players using sandpaper officially as they can't use saliva on ball. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Yeah, The Melbourne Cricket Ground. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) You can check my previous posts and you will find that I have always favored the usage of sandpaper over saliva (even before the COVID 19 epidemic). Both of them have almost the same impact on the swing of the cricket ball, and I don't understand the reason why one is permitted while the other is not. This is also a very unhygienic practice which needs to be done away with. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Both are helpful for swing but.. 1. Saliva is for smoothing one side of ball and let other side get rough naturally as game proceeds. 2. Sandpaper or other foreign object is used by players for disturbing one side of roughness in short period of time, intentionally. That's why one is legit and other is not. Adding to previous comments Interesting news or call it irony but cricket authorities aka ICC might legalise ball- tampering due to covid-19 (no saliva) @Vishnu you might enjoy this. Using phone so not sure if this article is new or 1 month old. https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/29091809/cricket-consider-legalised-ball-tampering-wake-coronavirus?platform=amp@JSRAW this is Karma at it’s best as for a long time bowlers were at a disadvantage because of the rules made by ICC, and batsmen had more advantage as rules were more suited towards them. However now things will change if bowlers are allowed to use sandpaper as it’ll leave batsmen at a severe disadvantage, and accordingly we will see more results in test matches and less matches ending in a draw.

I saw on the Australian news the other night that the T20 world cup must go ahead some how as there is a lot of money at stake with broadcast rights etc... so I'm thinking that Australia will take the risk with this and go ahead with the T20 world cup but don't know if it will be played in October.
October is so far now and we can expect that within October, pandemic will not be last anymore. It is expected that the virus will not be so sharp anymore. However, if it does not start at times, ICC and others will have significant loss. Maybe in other parts of the world but we could see an increase in Australia as our winter starts in June so we could see a spike in corona virus cases due to it being winter and as we know the flu can spread fast in winter which could then turn into corona virus. This is what our governments are worried about as we are heading into a danger period for Australia. So if there is an increase in cases then we could see the T20 world cup be pushed back a few months, hopefully not but we just never know. @vella85 it seems that BCCI has played a trump card, and has managed to convince ICC and other board members to postpone T20 World Cup (not officially declared though) to 2021 as that’ll allow them to stage IPL in the window set for the T20 World Cup. Furthermore it seems that Australian and New Zealand’s governments have joined hands to eliminate the virus, and so far they’re doing pretty good work and I sincerely hope their methods continue to work and this virus is eliminated completely from both the countries.

A press release was made after the UEFA meeting held today using the teleconference method. He made a strong recommendation for the completion of domestic competitions, if possible, in order to avoid any problems in the UEFA statement both in the next season and in the calendar of international tournaments. I think that from this point, federations of each country will decide on their own. For example, today, Germany has announced that the league will resume in May. We will see together how true or false these decisions are. I think the matches will be played without spectators. Please share your thoughts here. Everything could be ready for betting soon. UEFA Press Release: https://www.uefa.com/insideuefa/mediaservices/mediareleases/newsid=2641715.html@Nadziratel I believe that most of us were expecting this kind of statement to be made, as UEFA also understands that cancelling the leagues will lead to a huge headache on deciding which top 4 teams would progress to next years champion league. There’s no way fans will be allowed inside the stadium this season but I think everybody will just be glad to be able to watch football again finally. There is no way any of the top European leagues will be cancelled & I’m glad.
@DeatAngel indeed no fans will be allowed for the remainder season in the stands, and while I’m happy we get to see football I’m yet going to hate watching every bit of it as without the fans these games will be really boring. It doesn't really matter if those decisions are true or false (as you said or much better if we make it, will happen or not), since after all it will depend on a country's status. The supposed plan of those participating countries will surely just take place if it will meet all the required things to proceed safely. In other words, there is no assurance that those decisions, or basically, a plan will able to follow the exact timeline.
Honestly, related concerns can also be seen in other sports events. Each organization their respective plans just in case the situation got back to normal. Way better in the first place that they already constructed a plan for Situation A, Situation B, and so on.
@harizen many leagues have already began planning to resume their season again, and most them should start by May or June and then they’ll try and complete the season before July 31st, and furthermore let’s hope that everything processes smoothly and according to their plan.

I’m sure those who’re holding stellar will remember that this coin yet exists, despite the fact that it has been under forming for quiet a while now and suddenly out of the blues it’s rising but it has all the makings of a pump and dump rally. It’s pertinent to note that it suddenly rallied higher against bitcoin, and this should act as a red flag for newbies otherwise they will fall for it’s trap. What do you’ll think am I’m being too harsh on this coin, or I’m correct and it’s indeed a pump and dump rally that we’re witnessing. Source: The altcoin recently had a powerful rally on the XLMBTC trading pair, sparking a rally of over 30% against the first-ever cryptocurrency – outperforming it by a large margin.

If the German bundesliga only is we all can get at the earliest possible for now, I definitely wouldn't mind. It's been far too long without any football action for me. You are right its really frustrating without soccer and now time for some action we can hope about Bundesliga as many positive and good news coming from Germany hopefully this could be first league to return in action even with empty stadiums but still love to watch this all. I’m not sure how they’re pulling this off but the league is all set to resume on May 9th, and if they’re successful in finishing their season then other leagues too will follow their model. I heard there will be around 300 people present in the stadiums (players, staff, ballboys, security, TV people etc.)
300 people is a good number, it's really going to be risky having more people than that, it's not what anyone imagined four months ago, but now I'll feel better if the numbers in the stadium could even be lesser than 300, so there is no risk or a spark of an outbreak due to the games which may pause the league again, and for a long time. But wouldn't the German league be leaving the other leagues in Europe behind, like if the manage to restart and finish this season, when the EPL, LA liga, Seria A and others are still waiting for better conditions to restart, it's going to be very strange, they being so far ahead of others. @coyster that’s the minimum number of people estimated to be in the stadium during the match, and the number of required people may even increase and therefore for the sake of football I’m hoping that no one tests positive before or after the match ends.

Hi guys!
Still playing with bitcoins? Or have you switched to TRON or Ripple? Anyway, every crypto has its own benefits but how important is it for you to have a variety of different cryptos to play in casinos?
Yes, still playing with satoshis (aka bitcoin), haven't tried tron nor ripple. Maybe because of convenience on my end. Not many casinos here are offering Tron or ripple, though I have encountered several of them but am too lazy to engage with Tron. And if there is doge in the casino, I use it also as the tx fees are very low if I wanted to transfer from exchange to the gambling site as compared to btc which is pretty expensive.
@Bitcasino.io Support majority of the users here will prefer to play in bitcoins only, but then again there’re few gamblers who often like to play using other crypto’s too. @Twinkledoe you’re right not many casinos use ripple or tron and I believe that’s because there’s not much demand for them, also op should have added a poll to see which coins people want in a casino as that would have helped their team get a better idea of which coins to offer to their members. Lastly in my personal opinion a site should offer Bitcoins, Ethereum, Doge, Litecoins and Eos (as this one is gaining lots of popularity now).
