However sometimes it depends from the Country since were there is a monopole it's very easy find very bad odds Sad
No competition doesn't create any advantage for betters

You are right, and honestly, I'm thankful that we have the crypto sportsbook where we can easily bet because I heard before, in some countries there are middleman where they accept bet but you are given a bad odds since they also make money, so with crypto sportsbook, we can directly bet on the site, and take note, crypto sportsbook odds are very competitive with fiat sportsbook odds.
4682  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Las Vegas Casinos are open - end of the Pandemic era. on: July 21, 2020, 11:56:48 AM
We cannot force people and that is the problem.I think that Astra Zeneca together with Oxford University are near the creation of a good vaccine for this nightmare called Covid 19 and the trial results were really good so far by not only killing the virus but also the infected cells and improving the immune system of our body.

Getting back on topic the real news is not that Las Vegas is open but for me is my question if anyone has hit a multi million dollar jackpot nowadays in Vegas.

In Russia, military doctors have already finished testing the vaccine on volunteers. The tests were successful. The coronavirus vaccine will be produced soon. The problem is that it won't help you recover if you get sick. It helps only healthy people not to get infected.
I hope that soon such a vaccine will be available all over the world and we will be able to breathe a sigh of relief. And those people who miss the casino, sports matches, recreation in warm countries-will be able to return to their favorite things. Those who will go to Las Vegas casinos will stop being insulted and blamed for the potential spread of the disease.

At least that would be helpful, I think it's more important than any kind of medicine as that's what vaccine do, to get rid of getting infected.
people who got sick can still be treated, in fact, we have a lot of people who were still able to recover after getting infected with the covid-19.

well,i also unverified account on binance exchange,i've registered since 2017 and never get problem about withdrawal,i am here is "not" to try defended binance,but I just wonder how it can be like that,i also using their futures exchange,when i got profit,i just transfer it to spot wallet and withdrawal it via XLM(since XLM fee is spicy).i just think probably because VPN,i never using VPN to access any exchange,since i got trouble about my bittrex account on 2018.

Same here, I think I'll follow the case of OP, it's very interesting, TBH, first time I see a legit complain here about this site which is very popular and reputable.

It's possible but this is a kind of job that is too risky, if you don't have the skills, you can't rely on it as your main source of income, otherwise you'll die in hunger. Just like people who considers gambling as their profession, they make money from it, so it's the same with trading, we are still considered gambling here.
4685  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: BetBit Casino Gone? on: July 19, 2020, 11:29:22 AM
@OP I think you have to accept the fact that your 0.3 BTC had possibly gone.  Checking on the site analyzer,  only the Terms and Condition and Privacy Policy are made available in the public.  There is no information about the owner, the country base, etc. 
See: https://casinosanalyzer.com/online-casinos/betbit.com

I agree that they possibly made an exit scam and run with their players' bankrolls.  I hope this serves as a lesson to us players to not leave a huge amount of fund on the casino and withdraw it regularly whenever we are done with our gambling session.

Even in the most trusted site here in the forum, I never leave an amount like that, that's why I like a site that offers free withdrawal fee and instant processing as at the end of the day, I would withdraw my money back to my wallet, and I love to spread my bet especially in sports to minimize the risk.
4686  Economy / Gambling discussion / Sports betting biggest winners. on: July 19, 2020, 10:10:18 AM
I know there's a lot of sports bettors here that are hoping they will hit a big time win in a short time, since we all want to have a life changing win but these people below are just so lucky. 

It's 25 people in the list, but I will go with the top 10 for the sake of discussion only.

https://www.thepunterspage.com/biggest-sports-betting-wins/
1. Billy Walters – a successful $3.5 million bet
2. Vegas Dave – $2.5 million on a $140,000 bet
3. Steve Whiteley – £1.5 million on a £2 bet
4. Fred Craggs – £1 million on a £0.50 bet

5. Mike Futter – £800,000 on betting his own horse
6. James Adducci – $1.2 million on an $85,000 bet
7. Charles Barkley – $800,000 on a $500,000 bet
8. Anonymous punter – £585,000 on an £0.80 bet
9. Darren Yates – £550,000 on a £62 bet
10. Mick Gibbs – £500,000 on a £0.30 bet


Those that are in bold text are the kind of wins we like to achieve, with a little capital , we can turn our money into a huge amount.

How would you do that guys? do you consistently bet on parlay with big odds?
4687  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: July 19, 2020, 09:47:26 AM
Which one would likely happen based on your prediction?

Quote
1-The Raptors Will Emerge as Title Favorites
2-Boston's Other Star Wing Shines Brightest
3-Zion Powers the Pelicans to the Playoffs
4-Somebody Goes 0-8
5-Russell Westbrook Will Outperform James Harden
6-The Mavericks Will Finish with a Higher Playoff Seed Than the Nuggets
7-Giannis and LeBron Combine to Play Fewer Than 8 Games
8-The Anonymous Hotline Will Have a Major Impact
9-Damian Lillard Will Average 40 Points Per Game
10-The Sixers Don't Improve Their Playoff Seed
My mulitple option is I think that will be 3, 4, and 9.

Just a wild prediction but I am a bit sure on number 9. To number I'm still doubtful on it since it's isn't yet clear if Zion will play on the remaining games or not.

I'll make one prediction only, I think the number 5 "Russell Westbrook Will Outperform James Harden". lol.
They will be in the playoffs and they need to win so I think it's time for Russell Westbrook to take over the team and I think Harden are aware of that already since during the regular season, I have seen games here Russell Westbrook lead the team and Harden's production gone down.

Here's some news about the MVP for those who missed him already.

Kawhi Leonard feeling good, but Clippers plan to be 'smart' about usage

He is feeling good, has practiced with his teammates already, and I can say "HE IS NOW READY FOR THE PLAYOFFS". (I skip the season though)

4689  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Lomachenko vs. Teofimo Lopez Lightweight Unification fight on: July 15, 2020, 11:04:56 PM
Loma is going to make a mockery of Lopez, but he does still have a punchers chance.

This could be the scenario but still anything could happen as i think that Lopez is no pushover but i love to see Loma wins so he could fight Ryan Garcia next  Smiley. Loma only has a couple of fights before he retires.
We never know, at age 32 though it looks old at that age but we have Manny who still fights at 40, and Loma is just focus on his division so I think if he has a good conditioning, he can still have more fights, not necessarily that he wins it all.
4690  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Lomachenko vs. Teofimo Lopez Lightweight Unification fight on: July 15, 2020, 01:49:35 PM
I just check now if the betting odds are already available, but unfortunately it's not listed i my sportbook, maybe they are waiting to finalize the venue first before the odds will be live. Anyway, just share the odds guys if you find a book that's offering this fight already.

It will likely to come out after the venue is finalized if there's one of the fights that you wished boxing fans should not happen in the time of Pandemic is this fight Lomachecko against Lopez it's a unification bout between two great lightweight champions and they both have contrasting style, the outcome will be interesting and fans want to be close to the fight when it happen but unfortunately they can't.

Maybe not yet available in sportsbook now but we already have that odds before, here's an article from https://www.oddsshark.com/ posted last January this year. https://www.oddsshark.com/boxing/lomachenko-lopez-odds-analysis



As you can see,  it's just a prediction of odds and you can also read their prediction on who will win.

Thanks for sharing the possible odds man, that odds of Teofimo Lopez seems very interesting, for an underdog, I believe there's a good value on it since this guy is younger and might give some good challenge to the champion.

I checked his record - https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/776269..

Looks like the kid has some power, but I know Loma is really good but I think taking chances is not bad as upset happens in boxing.
4691  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Slots are better than Dice. on: July 15, 2020, 01:09:42 PM
Just for illustration:

You buy the "buy in" feature in Sweet Bonanza slots and the fruits start to drop randomly along with max 100x multipliers in 10 free spins. So with putting $2 in each free spin I got a chance to multiply my $2 to $200 less than 5 minutes. The adrenaline will be high and this is what makes slots so different for both entrainment and house edge means.

But with 99 % probability you will lose all your money. I agreed that adrenaline will be high, but my question is more about "Will it be higher than in poker or any another game where you need to think"? And here i doubt about the right answer.
that is called risk when gambling because no one can guarantee that slots or dice still have a very high risk and cannot guarantee victory for you, stay alert and control your emotions so that you are not affected by the conditions when gambling.

I guess all you need is just to enjoy and be discipline at the same time.
We are talking of dice and slots where a gambler can never win in the long run due to the house edge, gamblers choosing a game not on the chances of winning, in fact most gamblers are not already calculating that, they just want to have fun when gambling, so I think that's what just need to do, have fun but be discipline at the same time.
4692  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: July 15, 2020, 12:30:19 PM
I was eager to see Nikola Jokic after his Covid-19 quarantine. He has gained some weight, I wish his health to be 100%.

Same here, his old picture was criticize by some people but he looks good with the new one, it look like he really gained some weight.
Nikola Jokic has to be healthy, good thing he is back now and he can play when the NBA will resume, their playoffs experience might become a key for their success this season, and they are one of the underrated team that we can trust to at least give some kind of thrill whoever teams they will face.

4694  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Home Court advantage = Not an advantage now because of no-live audience? on: July 15, 2020, 11:31:17 AM

With some sports likely to resume in next month or few, or being resumed recently, after being suspended or halted due to Covid-19 pandemic spread, one safety measure that will be imposed is a no-live-audience, literally playing without audience presence and we can see some sports already feel the experience of playing on that environment.

What do you think, does this home-court advantage, still an advantage now? Do you think Moneyline odds will now be different from now on especially if both teams are equal in strength?
Home courts will still be an advantage. Players on the home team spend much time playing on their homecourts. Ofcourse, they will get used into it. The homecourt advantage is not just because of the crowd that cheers for them and distracts the other team. It is also because of their familiarity on the court. The more that you are familiar to the court, the more chance for your team to make scores. Winning is still not guaranteed  ofcourse.

I guess that is not happening now, for the sake of fairness, no teams will play on their home court or the other court, like the NBA, they will be playing in Orlando Florida at Walt Disney World, and no team has ever familiarize the place and no crowd as well, so that's the real definition of the no home court advantage, I am sure it could be the same format with other league as constant travelling is not advisable at the moment.
4695  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ BOXING ]: Fury vs Wilder III in Las Vegas on 18th July 2020 !!! on: July 15, 2020, 10:06:21 AM
If Fury wins, I doubt that he will retire, he has agreed to fight AJ in the future, with all British heavyweight fight, so that's a lot of money as well. As far as his trilogy with Wilder, Arum being the promoter he is, and with his history of making tons of money, he will wait for the perfect time to make this fight happen with fans, as least 3/4 of their targeted revenue can still be achieved and hit even if we are still in the pandemic.

I think retirement is out of the picture when Fury defeat Wilder in their trilogy because the big event awaits, "The Battle of Britain" Smiley. Even if it is very far from happening but many people specially the hard core boxing fans are speculating on this and this fight is not hard to promote considering that AJ would win on his next fight convincingly. Pandemic would be over by then, so audience will be present, means more revenue for the promoter. 

Most fighters would not retire as long as there's still fight available and they can still make big money.
Fury might be pressured to finish off Wilder so the most awaited fight between AJ and him will happen next year, hopefully pandemic will end that time.

Actually, there's only one fighter which I think has really a principle in life, it's Juan Manuel Marquez because he retired after beating Pacman and does not even give a chance for a rematch even if he is offered with big money.
4696  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Las Vegas Casinos are open - end of the Pandemic era. on: July 15, 2020, 09:36:25 AM
For a gambler's mindset, why should they undergo a swab test just for the purpose to enter the casino? If I'm a gambler I'd rather find other casinos with no restrictions like that unless I'm a die-hard player of the said casino. It's no different from other establishments wherein there is no need for a test.
Swab test is necessary if your place was in the high virus-infected record, but if the place that has flatten curve record of virus-infected and if they are in a modified general quarantine level, so this is a case to case basis. Thermal testing and proper guidelines for sanitation or disinfectant will be fine.

Though it is risky for gamblers to do this, I guess if they really want to they will find ways just to gamble.


If I remember swab test will take atleast few hours to get the result and it is much expensive test kit needed to do that so it is not actually possible to swab test every person enters into the casino and also social distancing will not be possible in any casinos so government should allow the casinos to work even if they know it will result into spread just for economy gain or they should completely close it.

If we say expensive, do we have an estimated amount for that? I think not all of us has the same financial status, some can surely afford and some can't so those who can afford will only be given a chance to enjoy inside the casino, how was that?

Yes, of course, it all goes down to the Main Idea of the project what it is use cases and purposes. But those things you have mentioned above are key points to build a good community and supporters. Especially a good partnership, If you have a reputable partner right now and you can launch an IEO on top exchanges, you are attractive to possible investors. To survive in you need to build trust first, I knew there are so many waste ideas with no support and trust,

To build trust you need to show some results or progress, otherwise you'll lose the investors as these people will always find good projects that could make them profitable, and knowing that the competition has been increasing already, projects that are not living with the competition might just fail in the end.
4698  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Limited escrow service for building self discipline. on: July 14, 2020, 10:16:19 PM
some sites you can set limits

stake.com
mbet

and few more

Nitrogensports too.

I guess limiting myself in gambling would just be limited to me too, I'll handle myself and learn from it.
Getting other services or people involve might be too costly, and it would only delay a gambler's maturity in what they are doing.

we make mistake, be it, but we can learn from it and we will not be greedy in the long run.
4699  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Home Court advantage = Not an advantage now because of no-live audience? on: July 14, 2020, 09:56:27 PM
For some teams hoke advantage is very important whule for others it makes no difference. I would say at the big stage, in top championships it shouldn't make much of a difference except if we are talking about small teams that really care about their fans support. Maybe only in second and third leagues the supporters are much more important when talking about home advantage
Home advantage.

You can say that as speculating that it doesn't really matter to them. As part of professionalism for athletes, they have to consider and stand firm even the crowd is going to be biased against them.

But for the home team, it's a big deal and it makes difference.

Somehow players will have familiarity especially if they always do their practice in the same venue it's still a confidence booster to play at home even if there's no live audiences but the impact is bit different since there's live fans will cheer at them but somehow it adds more excitement but let see if we will be entertained for that set up or we get bored for not having a real audience actions.
We don't have to choose and we have no choice but to be entertained with this setup.

I don't find myself to think if I'll be satisfied or not with this setup, we are in a global situation and don't choose if we will be or will not be entertained.

Let's give them a try, as for me, I am sure I would be happy once the games will return even with no home court advantage as personally I have seen a lot of games where not played in their home court but in just different venue, and that is from our local basketball league.

There is another player that's in quarantine. Sacramento Kings' Holmes after picking up a delivery.

Kings' Richaun Holmes placed in quarantine after breaking NBA bubble for food delivery



What would be the sanction then?  Placing in quarantine is not enough, he has violated the rules so he needs to face a sanction as it's not good to tolerate this kind of behavior when the success of the return of the NBA is always at stake.


Quote
Richaun Holmes just put himself in quarantine for dinner. The Sacramento Kings forward announced on Monday that the NBA placed him in quarantine after he left the Disney World bubble to pick up food delivery.

I thought it's not allowed.
