Hi Stunna It happened that i discovered it was possible to copy bet from other gamblers on stake, i tried this a couple of times, that is copy bet from other gamblers, and on the first day, i copied a multi bet of 4 and actually won, how lucky  . I returned the next day to stake and did same thing but this time, i lost ...how sad  but i guess it is what it is. So after my experience with this feature, I made this POST about it, And from the comments I got, I discovered that this is a feature that can actually be upgraded and turned into another source of income for the casino as well as some of the players. After analyzing the whole thing, i decided the make this POST as a suggestion to the casinos around. I love Stake and maybe you guys can look into my idea and see how feasible such a feature is to implement, i am waiting to be the first to use it Please pass this to the upper chamber if ok by you, or just ignore, all cool. thanks. I'm not sure if casinos want to start telling their users how to bet. At best it loses them money, at worst it loses them their reputation as bettors begin to blame the casino for their losses... This seems more like the sort of thing you'd want to see in a paid group, where one self proclaimed gambler tells you who is going to win and what to bet on. I'm sure there are even plenty of threads around here offering such a thing. However, I think you'd be better off investing your money than gambling if you are letting other people make the picks for you. I would personally struggle to get any enjoyment out of that. However, to each their own and I wish you great luck in beating the odds and making some money shadowing other people's picks. |

Crypto is such a good match for gambling online, but it seems like casinos only use crypto as a means of bringing in more money from users who want to gamble with crypto and rarely use the properties that crypto has to enrich the experience for users. By this I mean many casinos don't use crypto as a means for proving that their games are honest "provably honest" or to show their reserves against user balances. I think if casinos published some sort of method of proving that their reserves are greater than their customer balances, that would be a big step forward. I also think that using crypto to prove that your games are fair should be a prerequisite for anyone looking to gamble in crypto, although I rarely see any casinos doing either of these things.

I like the OP way of thinking, more tickets means more chances of winning. Nevertheless, as others pointed out, the odds are still slim even if you both like 8000 tickets.
And so that chances of you getting hit by a lightning if I'm not mistaken is higher than winning the lottery.
But I guess the OP is a risk taker so it's hard to argue with that in his mind. So best of luck.
You sort of hit the nail on the head that OP must be a risk taker. He/She must enjoy taking these sorts of risks because obviously buying lottery tickets is never a smart financial move. In the USA, lottery tickets fund the school system, which I think is actually a perfect match considering I've long thought that lotteries were a tax on people who were bad at math. These people who are terrible at math funding our school system to teach people basic math skills is great. So I guess my question to the OP or anyone else with knowledge of this lottery is... Where do the proceeds go for this 'bad at math' tax? Are charities being funded? Maybe some sort of community give back program? Hopefully it's something worthwhile... |

I know it's easy to get carried away, but Izzy actually had a lot of success on the night. He was moving well, and picking his shots. It wasn't like Alex didn't try to engage like that multiple times, but Izzy was rolling with it. There might be something to that hurt leg of Izzy. It might have prevented him from actually getting out of the pocket.
I think it's a little unfair to be dogging on Izzy just because he basically got knocked out once again. However, he did very well for much of the night. Most people seem to have him up 3-1, including myself. Now, I'm trying to take anything away from Alex, he fully deserved that win. It's just I'm not sure why Izzy is getting so much hate, and people are ignoring how good of a job he was doing up until that point.
I think people expected to see growth from his former fight with Alex. Unfortunately, it seems like Alex may have Izzy's number. While Izzy is talking about making this a trilogy, I think most other people including Alex already feel he won two fights and that is good enough. Rumors now that Alex is retiring from fighting, which will leave Izzy with a stain on his career. I honestly think it's best for Izzy if they don't meet again. Alex seems to have his number and another loss to him would make Izzy look like his fighting days are best left behind him. A shame because there was so much hype but money talks so maybe another fight is in the future between Izzy/Alex. |

As what I can understand in your point is that you want people to post a thread that is not an announcement thread in the gambling discussion and the gambling board should only be used to post only ann threads. If that's your point in this post then this thread of yours should also be in gambling discussion and not here which means you also post a thread here that isn't an ann thread.
This is a good point and a hilarious way to show the OP that he’s guilty of doing exactly what he’s complaining about. Granted it’s a topic about this forum section, so it makes sense. However, I’m sure others posting threads also believe their thread is applicable to this section. As others have stated, you can report to moderator if it bothers you, but I think it would be a difficult challenge to try and move every topic to it’s proper place if you’re picky about it. |

I hope they start selling off assets soon. I want to use the Blockfolio app again that FTX purchased and changed the name of. Now it’s not working and I assume it’s because it was an FTX asset and has been confiscated. Would be great if Binance or any company with money stepped in and bought the app as it was the best portfolio tracking app available for crypto.

The thing about this dip is that it wasn’t stupid. The people causing it were idiot liberals who belonged nowhere near a functioning business, sure. However, the dip highlighted an ongoing problem with these made up tokens people are using as sources of value. Binance is no different with BNB, so this crash could just be the warning that companies like Binance are still being held together by a wish and a prayer. If BNB starts diving, make sure you don’t have any funds on Binance or the next collapse will get you.

This is great news for Bitcoin but probably terrible news for at home miners. I don’t think anyone will be able to compete with companies like Shell, Exxon, etc. They have access to energy at prices we could only dream of and will likely pressure Bitcoin mining operations in places with cheap power and older equipment. I think we might be seeing the final evolution stage of Bitcoin mining.

I just hope someone buys the Blockfolio app from FTX. That was my favorite crypto portfolio tracker and it’s gone dark ever since FTX took down their website. If anyone has any suggestions I’m open to hearing them. I’ve grown accustomed to being able to see my entire crypto portfolio value at a glance and now that it’s gone I feel myself losing touch with the market a bit.

I do both. I tend to use more power than I can generate at times and a battery backup can only take you so far. Grid energy as a backup is always nice to have and with a Tesla Powerwall you have the ability to shut off the grid energy with the touch of a button should you so desire. In today’s day and age, I think having solar, a battery backup, and grid energy is the way to go. You never know what could happen.

Quitting vs taking a break aren’t all that different. Both require that you beat your demons regardless of whatever addiction you are trying to destroy. I think as long as you’re honest with yourself you can return to some bad habits, but you should at least be honest with yourself about what is in control of your life. A break here and there to prove you’re in control of your own destiny is always encouraged.

I’ve never thought of suicide as a gambling related issue. I think there has to be more going on in someone’s life than losing a game in order to push them over the edge. In fact, I’d have to think you’re going through some serious issues to gamble to the point it would have an effect on your life. I think if you are noticing negative repercussions from your gambling habits, you should find another source of entertainment.

A couple of good teams playing in tonight’s TNT doubleheader. Up first Zion and the Pelicans take on Ja Morant and the Grizzlies. Hopefully we get some good dunks between Zion and Ja as the form 1 and 2 picks face off. Then we get the red hot Sacramento Kings vs the struggling Nets. That one could go either way but I tend to give the benefit of the doubt to Durant. A good night for some basketball.

I think pretty much everyone is expecting it to go lower at this point. The question is how deep it it will go downward and for how long. Personally, I’m not worried about trying to catch the bottom. I just want to make sure I’m invested before the next train leaves the station. While it’s true we could dip another 30% from here, I also think it’s true that we will be much higher in a couple of years, and you won’t remember what price you paid, only that you bought the dip.

What a pathetic mess that interaction between Jake Paul and the Fury family at Tommy’s fight. I can’t believe they let that happen and were actually giving Jake Paul a microphone. It seems like Jake Paul has started disrespecting the sport that made him worth a great deal of money. This might be the beginning of the end for his boxing career as he seems like he focusing on being a showman more than a boxer.

While I would agree that now there are plenty of metrics pointing to now being the time to buy, it’s important to remember that things can always be different going forward. That being said, I think now is a great time to be dollar cost averaging your way into crypto with small weekly buys. Keep it up for a couple of years and you’ll most likely be well rewarded when the market turns back upward.

I don’t think it’s good news. Binance is likely starting this because their peers are all failing and asking for help. CZ says he was contacted by 4 or 5 firms to get help. If that many exchanges are running to Binance to save them, you know the entire industry is in trouble. That’s why CZ is doing this. It might be good that he’s trying to find help to keep things afloat, but the fact it’s needed is definitely not a good thing.

How about Joel Embiid putting up the best stat line of the year so far last night. He got 59 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists and 7 blocks. A monster night. He also scored 26 of the 76ers final 27 points. He did it all while shooting 19 of 28 from the field. They’re saying it was a Wilt Chamberlin style stat line. Not bad. Just yesterday I was reading that the 76ers were trying to work a deal to get Durant to Philly…

Now is a good time to make some moves to secure your coins if you haven't already done so. Moving shitcoin balances into BTC and removing from exchanges is a great way to ensure that you won't be destroyed from this mess. Common sense would also say that if you are able, now is a good time to be buying while everyone else is in a panic. I would just urge folks not to sell their portfolio for cash here and throw up their hands at the crypto market. Things will recover from this event, if even temporarily. Now is the time to force exchanges to be solvent or go under. Go to BTC, remove it from the exchanges...

As the premium grows this becomes more and more enticing. It's basically a bet that it will be converted to a spot ETF or liquidated before fees eat away any gain you would have gotten from the premium disappearing. I think at a more than 40% premium it might be worth grabbing a little here for retirement accounts. I think we'll see an approval in the next couple of years and I have a hard time fathoming that this fund will continue as is and not dissolve itself if the premium continues to grow. For gamblers who think that an ETF approval could come sooner rather than later, it also could make an attractive options play.
