Claiming 1 point from a maximum of 3 points is a problem. Let's say for example Arsenal draws their next 3 matches and Man City wins 2 of their next 3 matches, do you know what the table would look like? Everything point is crucial! But I think Arsenal is still in a pole position to win the league. They have been unbelievable this season and have shown how much they've longed for the EPL title.
I was not impressed with Asernal performance today playing a draw with Liverpool is not a good result at this point where Asernal needs more points to remain top and finish well in this season, I was thinking Asernal will win the game outrightly since the season has gone past the stage where top clubs will be taking any match unseriously just like Arsenal did today.

The outcome of today's game has become a big advantage to Asernal's closest rival Manchester City who won the last game and with a high possibility of winning their next couple of games to come, the season may still end in man city favour with the recent happening, man city now have a high chance of making it to the top this sea in there by retaining the title for another season.

As long as the guy is a human being, this is a lesson for him, I simply do not know why you believe he can't learn from it. We learn every day, and even if the guy is a billionaire, he would have the pinch of pain and regret in him that he could have used the money for a better thing or do not take such a stupid risk in expectation of peanut.

Gambling could come either way, yet if we have good managerial plans and always weigh our risks and outcomes to decide right, then we are wise.
Two things can happen to that guy: he will feel pain and regret or he will feel nothing because he is still a billionaire who still has a lot of money. We also won't know what he feels, but we can still learn from him to always limit our gambling, especially using money to gamble.

Gambling can indeed provide big profits but also vice versa. We can experience big losses, especially if we can't limit the money to bet. And we must indeed weigh the risks wisely because whatever it is, we are only using gambling for fun.
The best thing from this story to me is the lesson we learn from this story since the gambler who lost such an amount went overboard, and took too much of a risk to have staked such a huge amount on a single bet selection.

So the lesson is what makes the whole story essential for our discussion since we don't even know the authenticity of the story since there is no verifiable link shared along with the story, it can be a staged story without any real individual involved.

But then we can't outwrite the many lessons from the various comments and replies this has made this discussion really exciting because 1.4 million on a bet is something unbelievable to many of us.
4663  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rigged Game on: April 09, 2023, 04:20:57 PM
The best possible way is to play on verifiable casinos, what that means I casino that can provide you with the game TX that can be verified through the blockchain to check the game process to know if it was rigged or not, this is the only way to get the true history and records of the outcome of the game.

But note, not all casino offers such services only those who have an effective properly fair system and blockchain based that could generate your games harsh for verification, few casinos offer such service.

I may have not given an in-depth explanation about that development but you can do a few Google searches to see how it works and what is at stake, with a list of casinos that have such development.
4664  Economy / Speculation / Re: Are We Going To See $30,000 Price Before the End of This week on: April 09, 2023, 04:08:27 PM

I don't know if we can handle less speculation, I mean the market is free and open, so we might as well look for the price or what direction it will take. And then for the $30k, a big hard for now, the price not moving as much as we like this April and there is a slowdown amongst buyers.

So in any case, we will have to wait for the $30k, I mean it is broken this month we will know that.

But I expect that it might take some time as we don't have any breakouts at least for the first week of April.
You are right, we may have to wait a little longer to see a 30k price since at the moment bitcoin price is still struggling to hold on to a 28k+ price for over two weeks now and there is no sign of breaking that limit any time soon, if you have been following Bitcoin price increase in the last few months back, you would have noticed how Bitcoin always show attempt and signs anytime it price attempt to break a new benchmark mark some was noticed in January when the price tries to cross the 20k to 23k and in March - April when the price of bitcoin finally crossed the 25k to reach 28k+ there was always price uptrend attempt at each point but for the 30k price predictions, Bitcoin has not shown that sign yet and if bitcoin continues to act this way then we may have to wait longer to see that price a reality

But then Bitcoin can act unpredictably some time it can make a drastic downtrend or possible uptrend, so there may be a pump that could shoot. The price above that limit within the shortest period, let's see less speculation and more buy orders.

Edit: Damn, about 8 minutes behind 1 goal from Arsenal. Embarrassed
Arsenal have the early lead and it may go in the advantage of them as one goal give them enough confidence that they can score more goals and possibly win against Liverpool at home. Liverpool had the higher win probability but Arsenal have everywhere not giving Liverpool a chance to settle. The eight points lead that Arsenal has been restored with this one-goal lead. If Arsenal scores again, Liverpool will be in a difficult position, they may find it difficult to get an equaliser, or even win.
I guess Asernal is not out to play in this match as the first goal dropped within the 10 minutes into the match I join the match around 10 into the game and Asernal was already leading with a goal already and this is quite commendable for Asernal since the club is really battling to retain it leading till the end of the season even though other clubs that may seem tougher for Asernal are waiting for them in the remaining legs in this season.

But so far, Asernal has managed to sustain it motivation and resistance till this very time in the season were there are fewer than 10 matches to play before the season ends and if Arsenal defeats Liverpool in thos matches, there will be on their way to ending the season on a very good note the same way they started.

Maydna I think your own experience with the exchange is quite clear since you said it was not successful on your many attempts which is entirely your fault for not supplying the accepted details and documents, all you needed was to read the exchange FQ to see what document and which format is accepted for easy processes but from ops own explanation, his KYC was successful but the casino deliberately refused him making the withdrawal that is the born of contention.
 
I had trouble verifying the exchange and had to repeat it a few times before finally verifying my account. But I haven't started verifying my account for gambling because I'm just a small gambler who doesn't dare to take too big risks.

We must realize that the casino we use will ask us to do KYC one day. And I also realize that but I always try to protect myself by not using big money to gamble.
To win $8,000 you don't have to gamble using a big amount of money, you can just gamble for $0.5 or $1 and if you're really lucky enough you can get $8,000. So it's pointless to say you will protect yourself to win a big amount of money by just gambling with a small amount of money.
What the user meant is that, since KYC is mostly triggered when it is big winning somewhere around $5000+ and above, the gambler can work his way around it I do not accumulate odds that will generate such a winning amount, I think it is possible by doing the right calculations and betting smaller amount that will not bring in such huge return at once.

Now, what you will do? of course, you will need to submit your KYC and you might get a similar problem as when you had trouble submitting your KYC on the exchange you use.
I don't think thos will also work since ops already stated that he passed the KYC process, so is not as if any step of his KYC was rejected anyways, so there won't be room for resubmission of those documents or repetition of any step.


So that leaves ops with just one option and that is to contact the casino support to know what exactly the problem is and why he is denied withdrawal even though he has completed all KYC processes.
4667  Economy / Gambling / Re: Gambler Loses 1.4 million USD in a bet with lower than 1.01 odds! on: April 09, 2023, 05:15:39 AM

If gamblers do not take into account the risk associated with each game, I am afraid that they will never be able to make money in gambling. The gambling houses know exactly that and they make full use of this situation when a gambler invests more in any bet. Even a bet with odds of 1.01 favours the gambling house because even if the gambler wins this easy bet, he or she will get the minimum amount of profit.
House edge is always set to favour the house and that is the true reflection of things, but the misconception in your reply is where mentioned that even though the gambler has won the bet he will not profit much, that is true anyways since the odd is small and the income will be almost unnoticed because .01 won't generate any meaningful percentages in profits but at least if the gambler won he will have return pf invested amount which is the staking amount including the winning even though it will not be much but at least the player won't be at lost.

 But if the gambler lost the bet, he will lose everything to the house, which is why the house will try all means to see the gambler losing the bet, this system is how casino house generates their revenue, and this is why w always say gambling is luck based and not about sure odds because the odds can change at whatever point just to favour the house against the players but with luck, it will at the end favours the gambler.

Congratulations mate, 5G phone is my next target phone and reading through your thread gave me more motivation to work harder because whatever we can conceive in our mind we can achieve them in reality and this your achievement is one such thing, this forum has become a double edge sword for many of us and it has become a learning and working forum which is as big as an institution for knowledge even though we are not issued a certificate for being a member of knowledgeable.

Bitcoin has helped many of us here to achieve our goals and that is why Bitcoin is sometimes referred to as life savoir or currency for financial freedom, signature campaign is a great reward tool, and the mobile phone is the first forum equipment for any member so buying a smart phone is also as same as opening a new office space here in the forum because you will work more effectively with a good and fast phone compared to an old and largy phone which end it users in frustration.

I changed my phone severally using my campaign earnings but foe the past one year I have not upgraded my mobile device since this one is durable and still serving, if need arise I won't hesitate to spend some of my earnings on buying a new phone since that will enhance my work here in the forum.

   -  Active support from their support is more okay for me than from different social media platforms. Because it seems more dangerous in my opinion.
yes, I agree with you. active and responsive support is more convenient for gamblers. instead, they had to go to social media to contact a casino representative to solve our problem. it is very uncomfortable.
let social media be the marketing ground for recruiting new members. and support on the platform requires experienced people to make the service feasible and enjoyable. especially for online casinos, all problems are handled quickly and will be the best service.
Because of this mixed up that is why many casinos are now closing their other communication channels and concentrating on online support alone, we have some casinos like even in this forum who have locked their ANN thread and instructed players who have any issues to contact their support for help going forward,  while that could be bad for their marketing and development its also bad for their reputation since many will lose interest in them and wanting to play on only casinos that have an active representative here on the forum because it boosts players confident to know that they can easily reach out to a representative here even though the ticket is raised with the support.

But then as a player, the only channel of communication should be through support, because their part of the security team and they can give you an accurate and on-time results if your case is not serious, but through representatives or promoters, the same issues may take longer for it to get resolve.
4670  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: April 08, 2023, 11:08:02 PM

Real Madrid has no incentive to win this match as it won't add anything to their position in the standings table, so everything is decided regarding the winner of La Liga. They are also preparing for an important match against Chelsea which will commence within a few days, so the lineup wasn't the normal or the best one. One of the things I consider when I decide to make a bet is the incentive the team has or the effect of the result on their positions, and they clearly had no incentive to win although they started the match strongly, but everything changed when Ancelotti substituted Benzima to give him a bit of comfort before the Champions League match. I'm sorry you lost the multi-bet, but if I were you, I would bet on over 1.5 or 2.5 goals as it looked more reasonable.
Even if it's like that, this defeat is still not really acceptable, especially even if they can't compete for the championship, they have to be able to get 2nd position and with this defeat, Atletico can reduce the gap with Madrid.
Their priority is still the UCL but losing a game can also hurt their condition in terms of confidence.
For goodness sake why will a club take any match for granted when ordinarily, losing hurt a lot and for Real Madrid to have lost the match to a smaller club goes a long way to show how weak the club have become in recent time, and with this outcome, real madrid success in the champions leagues may be in a great doubt because football is not an easily predict game and sometimes the unexpected happens too.

But if a club to all the matches seriously, their chances of losing will be reduced and this will build motivation in the players to play more since their mindset is already fixed on winning the matches lineups before them, Real madrid have missed it this time because since the season started something ago, the club have not reflected what the used to be in the last seasons in the current on, I don't know what is the problem with real Madrid presently and if there will be any chance of recovery before the end of this season which is a few games away.
4671  Economy / Gambling / Re: We NEED Bitcointalk Members Feedback on Casino Challenges! on: April 08, 2023, 10:56:57 PM
Instead of requiring huge amount of wager for reaching certain VIP rank, in addition to those ranks, you can send little incentive according to daily wager. Say, I have wagered $100 today. You will give me $1 bonus (just an example). For a continue streak of 7 days, you can 2x the incentive etc. There are many ways to keep a gambler playing in your casino  Cheesy
I would prefer this one especially for those who aren't capable to met the requirements to have a VIP rank (in this case small time gamblers who doesn't want/can't afford spending too much money in gambling. A gambler like me can't even compete with rich gamblers so maybe an incentive made for those gamblers who aren't rich/can't afford to spend as rich gamblers do. What LM suggested is much of a challenge as what I think about is a challenge made based/according to the gambler's daily wager or gambling activity.
The ultimate question is that why are there rank in casinos when every player I just there to have fun and what is the importance of casino rank apart from the bonuses being given to the VIP members aside from that, are there any other incentive that is given to high-rank members, just as you said let casino use the amount of wagering to determine how much will be paid as bonuses, that way even a new player could even qualify for more bonuses compared to an old player who just wagers a little amount even if he has a high rank on the casino.

I guess with all these suggestions, the punt team should have a lot of options to choose from already, because this thread has been long and run into many pages full of diverse suggestions
4672  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Why was bitcoin not created as a stable coin? on: April 08, 2023, 10:24:53 PM


 the ideal of stablecoins emerges after Bitcoin was created and its sole purpose was to solve issues related to volatility.


Just to add to what you already stated about the reason why the stablecoin was created, aside from solving the issue of volatility with Bitcoin, stablecoins are also created to aid and solve the many scalability problems associated with Bitcoin.

E.gstablecoinss are more suitable for payments and fast also with fewer fees although not on all networks since we all know the network congestion and hyke in the transaction fees each time there is a significant price increase in bitcoin,  because of this scalability concern stablecoins were created to serve as an alternative to bitcoin in time of emergency that is why most stablecoins are pegged to the US dollar and can not be taken as an assent rather as spendable coins.

I won't find Bitcoin interesting if it were a stablecoin BTW of what use would Bitcoin have been if it were a stablecoin no matter the price, the ability to speculate the price of Bitcoin is what makes Bitcoin more fun, satoshi has a perfect plan for Bitcoin and he knows there will be other development that their protocol will either work to enhance Bitcoin network or compete with its development but whichever ways, bitcoin has been successful being a decentralized digital currency and an asset.
4673  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: April 08, 2023, 10:02:40 PM
Erik Ten Hag also has the opportunity to lead Manchester United to win the Europa League this season if he mobilizes the players to perform better and focus on the Europa League on a larger scale because Manchester United does not have greater hopes of winning the Premier League this season. This is because it is very far behind from the top of the standings now. So the only hope that can be achieved by Erik Ten Hag and Manchester United is to win the Europa League so that his achievements can be seen more this season.
Somehow I'm not entirely sure Manchester United can easily qualify for the next round when they meet Sevilla in the quarter-finals. I don't expect Sevilla to be taken for granted even if their form is not good in La Liga. We have to put Sevilla as a worthy team in the quarter-finals because of their good history in the competition, but that doesn't guarantee Sevilla will be better either.

I tried to be neutral about the first leg match even though in general Manchester United are the favourites. But in any case, Sevilla is a team that is not as weak as it seems in the Europa League, I hope so.

Sevilla is not consistent not even with the newly signed coaches
This season has been hell and tough for them
They could not take the points back home why do you think they will have so much power against Manchester United
The thing with Manchester United this season is that the club may not win the premier league this season because of their current position on the league's table and how many matches are left to be played by the club, and the Europa League seem to be the sure bet for Manchester City in this season and there could prepare harder for the next season to try to reach the top in the premier leagues.

 But Manchester United's match in the premier league today against Everton recorded a great result and with that even though man united does not make it to the top, but there at least made a very remarkable outing in the last couple of matches played by the club, even though their new coach is trying everything possible to make a last-minute miracle result for manchester united, the timing has become a great push back for that miracle as the season is almost over and there is little to nothing the coach can do about that since the foundation has not been solid from the beginning of the season.

Your story is not really clear, how can we consider a site is a scam or not if you do not give more details about the issue? The answers you may get from the community high likely will be just a guess or prediction or assumption. It would be better if you can provide a complete story for this case so we can get a better opinion or maybe suggestions on what should you do.
I was about to say the same in my earlier comment, I wanted to demand that the ops share my detailed I information about his issues but where I got confused is when he said he passed all the KYC processes and placed a withdrawal and still denied, with that statement it means the site is deliberately holding ops funds even though he passed the KYC procedure.

 But ops did not share any evidence to prove that he got his account verified already and if there is no such evidence it then means we are just making and empty statement all this while, but we should also be aware of the fact that some casinos are scam and they may go any lent just to frustrate players who may have win big and want to withdraw their funds.

First, let me congratulate you on you success recorded within this space of time and from the chart recorded it possibly shows a steady decline in your Bitcoin payment and from the percentage, you showed you had an exciting sale in the first month followed by a steady decline which is something you should watch out for, I may have an opposite opinion to others on the teaching of your partners about bitcoin and its acceptability in their businesses as your record has shown negative trend I will advise you take some steps back and try to build your own Bitcoin payment when you have a stable and consistent growth with this development, then you can effectively teach others from your experience because three month Bitcoin experiment in your business is not enough time to start teaching others.

 But all the same, if you feel you can combine teaching your friends with building your own brand then you can go ahead with that and I wish you all the best because from your first story in the other thread which is locked now, and to be sincere with you, it has been an exciting journey you started and I am glad you are following all the advice and suggestions.

 
4676  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Any casino site offer Ludo game? on: April 08, 2023, 03:24:54 PM

but the main problem is why is the Ludo game never found in casino games? or because this game is a child's game?
but even though it is possible if this game is added to the online casino it will definitely have great interest.
and i think it will not affect minors whereas they can only find Ludo in playstore, not in the gambling
The problem is that the ludo game is not attractive to casinos and at they think it will be a waste of time to go into developing it in the casino and also since the algorithm for ludo is based on active thought processing and number counting, it will be a big job to integrate all that features into a casino and at the end not see players finding it interesting to play.

 And on the issue of underage danger that I raised is based on the fact that ludo is a family game so at even kids get access to playing it with their parents so long as the kids can play counting numbers they could easily get attracted to betting on the game if it is available on booking casinos.

I want to see an app where I can spend my Bitcoin using Bitcoin to make financial transactions such as payments to third-party banks since that loan app has developers that can access any one phone number if allowed by the party at the time of request of loan, why not chanel that energy into developing something more useful.
4678  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Referral bonuses are waste of time on: April 08, 2023, 10:26:50 AM
When it comes to gambling referrals it is not about quantity but the quality of the people you can refer, as many times the only thing you need to do is to refer a single whale and that can be more than enough to obtain good profits, however, this is something difficult to do as whales prefer to play at the casinos in which they have already reached a high VIP status as this allows them to get huge bonuses compared to what they can get at other casinos.
Some referrers think quantity is the best, it's like they're not thinking long-term with their referrals and they're just like one-time referrals and that's all good and good.
I agree that it's about the quality and those that have been quality referrals will bring you more stable income by the way they're gambling. It's a niche that everyone should think of if they're for referrals and affiliate marketing.
The more quality they are, the more money you'll get as a commission from referring them and it's not going to be easy, there must be something you should do to take them and that's why too many helpful articles are there with attached referral links on some particular words.
When you think of quality as the basic driver in referral earning then you should also be prepared to follow up with your referees to check how active they are, a lot of referrals who think that their earning comes from the number of referrals they have is a pattern of thinking that have to reduce so many people from earning what the should have since they may have a high number of users registring with the referral code but are not actively playing.

 This is why the casino thought it wise to have implemented this system that you earn from the activities of your referees, this has set the difference in the whole gaming industry and their affiliate marketing policy.

   -  Here in our country, gambling was prohibited and there were still raids in various places, but now it is very different because before it was done secretly, now because of the technology we have in this era, it is openly even campaigned by well-known influencers on the social media platform.

And many lives have been destroyed by gambling, in fact, because even minors do it without parental guidance and can also be seen on Facebook because of irresponsible influencers who care nothing but making money and deceiving their people followers.
I guess your region is similar to mind and as a matter of fact, gambling is still not legal business in Nigeria unless for a few number of cryptocurrency gambling that do not originate from my country but are not restricted, we still have access to them and also a few central fiat gambling that is popular only via social media and influencers have constantly promoted them.

 Some of that casinos even have a bad reputation, and because of that many have been affected negatively because of their activities.

But then online cryptocurrency casinos have just gain popularity during and after the covid-19 lockdown and since then we have not had horrible experiences like what we used to have years back with traditional gambling houses that have ruined many Lives
4680  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: April 08, 2023, 08:23:45 AM
there is no doubt that Manchester united will be the underdogs in the game against Everton at Old Trafford Stadium. Maybe Everton always surprises their opponents when Everton plays as the host. but when they play at home then I don't think much can be expected from Everton. Moreover, the opponent they will face is Manchester United, which is certainly superior in all aspects compared to Everton. yeah I will also favor Manchester United without a doubt for this fight.
Do you know what you wrote?

Manchester United are stronger than Everton, have better position than Everton and has better quality players than Everton. Lastly, they will host that match at their home stadium. How did you say Manchester City will be an underdog in the match?

If there is an underdog, should it be Everton?

Everton did try to escape from the relegation zone and their position now is not safe. With 27 points, they have the same total points as West Ham, Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth and only have 2 and 4 points more than Leicester City and Southampton at bottom of the table. I don't see chance for Everton at Old Trafford as they will have to face a club that has full reasons to win it. Manchester United must beat Everton if they don't want to be kicked out of the top four.
The recovery from the relegation zone by Evarton has been the only thing that serves as motivation for them to play on today, and with all standards, everyone is not up to Manchester United's standards in terms of play in this season and Manchester is playing at home which is another added advantage to them to win since there will be playing in front of their fans and pitch.

 Even though Everton have managed to play some good football in recent time and that is not enough for them to be able to beat a big club like Manchester United which have been doing well throughout the entire season.
