This is why you shouldn't gamble with last bit of money you own. I've said it before, you should never gamble if you can't afford to lose that money,

That's true, if for some reason you can't do without gambling it'd be wise to put some hard limits on yourself. For example, only gamble a x% of the money you earn each month so even in the case that all of it is lost you'd still be able to live comfortably.

I was betting with betdaq and the betfair. These sites allow you to do sports trading. Now, we have BetBTC which works pretty similar to those sites.
An easy way to get some profits is to play for freebets. once you get a good trade going you can trade your bet and collect your profit. After that, you can invest your profit. that will be a freebet.
another strategy is to go for sure bets. meaning that you will always have some winnings to collect. In this case, you select a different betting site always checking for the best odds. if it is a soccer game you can, for example, bet against the Draw and eventually would be covering any other result. Now, after that you will need to find a betting site that has a nice odd for the draw and put your bet on favor of a Draw. After that you will have all results covered and no matter what the final result you will always make some profit.

tell me what you think

Is that even possible? There are no sure or guarantee winning bet. Because is is betting against with odds and that is not although you do some bet with 1.02 multiplier it wont guarantee you will win that match. Are you saying here is to cover other match with other match? If you say so this is almost the same as martingale then
~
Forget that martingale...
it is possible and it is called sure bet. its kind of arbitrage between different betting sites:
https://en.surebet.com/surebets

you need to do some calculation and have you account funded in a few betting sites for that to work.
Hmm, it'd be interesting to see a similar tool for bitcoin sportbooks. I know there isn't as much of a variety when it comes to bitcoin sportsbooks but I've seen bets vary quite a bit. How would this escalate with bitcoin bookies?

This was double luck but I gambled dogecoin when it was worthless, turning one day's mining earnings to what would lated become ~ 2 BTC when doge reached 20 sats and that's when I sold.

Here's some advice that isn't just shameless self promotion:

You can grab a tld domain from godaddy or 1&1 and if it's your first time with them it'll be 0.99. As of budget hosting, it depends on what you're looking to host. Imo if you have low requirements and all you care about is not paying much then look into shared hosting plans. All providers have decent offers for shared hosting, you should find some very frugal ones.

Many people bought at such levels. Believe it or not, many got a chance to be introduced to bitcoin at that time because of all the attention it was receiving. It's unlikely that those who bought above 1000$ still hold their bitcoins from then, as people introduced to it for speculatory reasons have likely lost faith in the price rising to such levels again. It was a good time to be a trader though.

Are those accounts meant to last or is it a gamble? For them to be so cheap I assume their acquisition is related to cracking right?



This user is a scammer. Avoid any business with him.

Why?

Oddly enough, I looked back at my account and my balance was credited. It's possible to play games but I'm seeing this all over the place that users can't withdraw. The website has a nice design, too bad the owner won't try to find a sustainable model and to profit form the website's game instead of using it as a scam trap...
471  Economy / Gambling / Re: [POLL] Best Dice of 2015 on: December 12, 2015, 05:04:56 PM
Imo dustdice has the most unique design. Fast dice has an interesting design as well. It's good to see that there are still people trying to innovate among the competition.

There are so many dice websites, this list is missing several Major ones.

I just went to sleep and look what I missed! God dammit.



At least I know that my predictions were right, and to be perfectly honest I'm expecting more downward activity, the last threshold for me is Chinese new year. We already saw that there's some strong profit taking from the last day market activities, this won't allow the price to be lead up no matter how bullish some traders are. This is quite a risky time to count on the bullish activity of the market as we haven's seen such price levels in months, play it safe everyone.  Wink

Nice list, CS:GO grabbed my attention again after I saw a lot of movement in the community after the recent patch again so I'm thinking of putting some bets. Is there a list of websites accepting bets on matches? I'd love to see a list of CS:GO betting websites accepting bitcoin too. Perhaps I should make one if there isn't one already.
474  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC at $435. Is it sustainable? on: December 11, 2015, 03:02:34 PM
It's already moving towards 430$, the peak was 440$ very briefly but didn't move more than that. In my opinion the selling pressure indicates that high levels can't be sustained and there isn't much of a bullish overturn. The price will drop again sooner or later, there's also holidays in the middle that historically indicate that bubbles around that time each year. I've also stated in other threads that I believe it's a good time to sell only to re-buy when the price falls again. Because bitcoin surely is going to keep being volatile.

I see that mintsy linked is in your twitter account still (perhaps you should fix that BitJohn  Roll Eyes ). I still wonder what happened to that venture, If I remember correctly the hashrate providers backed out of the deal but what were your actions after that? Did you try to pursue them legally? It felt like customers were duped out of their money and you did little to accommodate. I had money there, but I now consider it long gone. OFC I wouldn't mind having it back but right now I just thought it was a good chance to ask you about mintsy in general.

Historical data does in fact stand behind what I'm saying in the OP.

Apart from the fact that it doesn't.

Never mind the images I posted? There's a similar trend around this time each year that makes bubbles pop, this one is also popping sooner or later. Christmas holidays, new year's eve and Chinese new year are just more safety thresholds.

Funny enough I was just reading and commenting through the thread that it said quite opposite, how the Christmas will make us go up since there is a lot of buying happening at this time of the year!

OP don't do this. Last Christmas yes, there was a quite a drop during holidays, but we were in the downtrend. You do remember 2013, no drop at all but the ATH!

2015 holiday season can be much different in its way. No-one knows this!

The only way this plan could fail is if bitcoin volatility sudenly stopped and someone strapped it on a rocket to the moon. Tongue 400$ too high for the levels we saw during 2015 so it's a safe to assume it'll go down again, hard to tell how much but it will.
479  Economy / Speculation / Re: Foolproof plan: Sell above 400$, rebuy on holidays on: December 10, 2015, 04:59:55 PM
tl;dr - the OP's premise is not supported by the historical data.

Historical data does in fact stand behind what I'm saying in the OP.






I'm was just trying to keep things short. I know there are variations from year to year, but all an all, ever since bitcoin trading started becoming big there are major drops around this period each year (the above images are all the same period each year). This year, we're also seeing an serious rise. IMO it's perfectly rational to believe that the price will go down again somewhere down the road at the not so distant future.
480  Economy / Speculation / Re: Foolproof plan: Sell above 400$, rebuy on holidays on: December 10, 2015, 02:39:02 PM
Historically, bitcoin's price goes down during Christmas celebratory season or after. The holiday is followed by new year's eve and Chinese new year on Feb 8 and celebrations. Play it safe, sell some of your coins now only to re-buy as the price goes down.

Really?

Because, looking at what happened historically, I don't see it.

  • Here's December 2011 on MtGox - a ~40% rise through December, followed by a further climb, before falling back to "only" a 40% rise by the start of March.
  • ...and December 2012 on Stamp - a ~20% rise to the end of the year, followed by a spectacular rise at the start of 2013.
  • For completeness, December 2013 - we did see a drop, of ~30% to the year's end, which then continued through to the end of February.
  • ...and last December (2014) - a drop of ~25% by New Year, with the drop continuing until mid-January before heading back up again (not hitting the January 1st price, though - we've only recently recovered to that level).

I don't know whether this December-February will see a rise or a fall, but I do know that past years don't justify the statement "Historically, bitcoin's price goes down during Christmas celebratory season or after." Hell, December-February 2012-13 is what I look at to cheer myself up when I'm worried BTC might never rise again!

So what's your point? Will bitcoin stop being volatile and go to the moon in 2016? lol
