Graphics look great tbh, can't complain. They probably make for a successfully addictive platform alone.
This is what entice me the graphics are incrediblw if you compared it to other gambling site but of course since its new we should expect a lot of bugs or error. I wonder why they not creating Ann thread here yet.

Maybe they are not aware with the forum yet or they have no interest to advertise in the forum.
Being a partner of Binance, it doesn't mean they will be in the forum, even Binance they don't have an active ANN thread in the forum.
4722  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Las Vegas Casinos are open - end of the Pandemic era. on: July 04, 2020, 08:10:41 AM
As has happened in several places after the opening of a tourist site and / or other industry, at least they are worried about the spread of the virus in the second wave and the threat will always be there, this virus is still there and has not disappeared and the vaccine has not been found and even though they implement the protocol health is not still not going to guarantee 100% protected from coronavirus infection.

Exactly, that's why they are recovering the business to help the economy, the virus will continue to infect people if they are not careful but it should not result to a total lockdown if the government can't feed the people. The economy is very important, without a job, people will suffer from hunger, so we should not treat this virus as something that would stop us and will make us helpless, it should not be that way.

According to the news - https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/nevada-coronavirus-cases.html

Nevada has a total of 20,878 cases, that's very few compared to the total cases in the entire USA which is already almost 3 million.
So even if it keeps increasing, that should not stop the casino from operating.

Las Vegas Casinos were once halted to see if the cases will reduce, but it did not happen, so there's no reason for the casino to close.
As long as they continue complying with the protocol, people can still enjoy if they want to have fun in a casino.

Zion is a good player, and we all know he'd be a future hall of famer (If he keeps healthy), but the media is really hyping him up. There are actually a more deserving rookies and other young talents in that cover like Luka, Trae, or Morant. Or they could just cover Vince Carter as a sign of respect and tribute to him as the last man who played in 4 decades after he retires. It's just sad 2k forgot how amazing Vince was as if they haven't enjoyed his levitation and dunking showcase.
As usual marketing strategy, It's all business.
Nevertheless, sports industry has gradually becoming more of a business than actual sports.

I didnt even expect for Zion to be chosen and id rather prefer to be Luka to be on that spot but well they do have all the decision when it comes to these sort of things.

They are really hyping up much that kid. Well, he's indeed a good player but if we do really compare of to others then we can actually see the difference.

In business talks then this had been since from the start.

That's more on a business and AFAIR, I did not seen a non american player that becomes a cover for the NBA2k. correct me if I'm wrong but I guess this is just truly for business and the market of fans which I think they have the biggest in the US.

I think it is good for the gambling community that the biggest crypto exchange of the moment want to enters the gambling arena.For sure in gambling when you are the owner there is always a profit to be made and that is what is going on in Binance mind.I hope they add slots as I see they are missing for the moment.
I don't see anything that they'll be in the gambling industry, they are just partner of a certain site and that's it.
To enter means they'll be competing, that's what I understand because what the news tells is that they are just easing the transaction between a gambler and this particular site.
4725  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: July 01, 2020, 06:47:44 PM
Not quite sure about Zion. Man just played 21 games in the NBA, media sure loves hyping the kid. Kinda feel bad for Kawhi not getting the attention he deserves, but pretty much he don't want having the attention too. Cheesy
Felt bad for Ja Morrant  Undecided. Young man excels among the rookies the same draft year as him. No idea about the market thing but does it have any connection? I mean they just ruined real recognition on the floor. Just pure hype, Zion doesn't deserve it yet in my opinion  Grin. Makes me wonder what would be his rating?

Luka, Trae, or Ja should've made it. Or maybe Vince itself though it's kinda late  Tongue.

I think it's because of the position he is holding and the hype itself, he is just a rookie so his name is still fresh in the minds of the people, plus he is also doing well in the NBA, help his team to rise when he resume playing after an injury so he is getting that popularity.

We don't know what the criteria is, otherwise it would be easy to debate and choose our favorite player to be the one who are deserving for the spot.
This is business so let them decide on how to market their product, besides, they are managing the business and they know what's better for it.

Playing esport is one of your interest so why quit on it ? You can take it as you past time because you can't earn on it .

 It's always better if you allocate your time to something that is profitable than compare to playing games  . Same as gambling and investing but good thing you have returned on investing  .

 Dumps in the price shouldn't be our reason to stop because that only kills your passion and ability to earn
Esports career has bright future so if someone is having skills and playing those esport games in a professional way they they can even earn in millions but investment should be different from playing or gambling, if you an investor then you always wanted to people lose while gambling but if you are playing on the same site then you will aim for what?

You aim to lose because you are literally betting against yourself, and there's no point of investing, lol.
Some of us maybe gambling and investing at the same time, but it's not nice to gamble in a site that we are investing, there's a lot of gambling sites out there, maybe we can choose from them to enjoy while we are invested with the other site.

In general, I would still choose not to gamble at all on the same game if I choose to go with the path of casino investing.
4727  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ BOXING ]: Fury vs Wilder III in Las Vegas on 18th July 2020 !!! on: July 01, 2020, 03:43:55 PM
Is this some kind of publicity stunt on Wilder's camp to stir another discussion and bring people to talk about their fight again? I agree that they should focus on the trilogy as this really spells the career of Deontay. He should have tell his brother to just shut up.
Obviously, just trying to sell the fight like most of the fighters do, let us not take that comment seriously and they just have to let the talking be done in the ring. Wilder better be busy training and focus on the future rather than going back in the past where he can't change anything.


His brother's career though is very different so maybe he has suffer some dent himself from the knockout he got.  Grin
I don't even know that he has a brother who is a boxer as well, just knew it now so maybe they are successful of getting the attention of the fan, but they better should because it might be the last fight of Wilder.
4728  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Snipie's gambling investment test on: July 01, 2020, 01:05:44 PM
Updated the table. We are now in week 4.

Still a reddish week on both BTC and LTC investments although investors suffered huge losses in LTC due to crazy whales. I was there when a guy grabbed around 170 LTC in few minutes. Now my LTC investment is minus -0.04.
For BTC things are getting better and we may profit again soon tho

You are just negative of "- 0.2899 %", that's a very small loses, if we can stomach our loses investing in crypto where we lose 50% of our investment, for sure this one is not really a big deal, and I believe that your investment will eventually grow and you'll get a positive ROI soon.
4729  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: July 01, 2020, 12:45:42 PM
Bad news came from New Orleans Pelicans whose three players were positively infected with COVID19. But unfortunately David Griffin
is vice president the New Orleans Pelicans team declined to name three of their players with COVID19. But David Griffin confirmed
the three players quarantined. Whereas last week the NBA announced 16 players tested positive for COVID19, out of the 22 teams that
will be performing at Walt Disney World Orlando. Hopefully this virus does not spread again, because if it spreads more and more fear
there will be another game delay. The New Orleans Pelicans will have their first match on July 30 against Utah Jazz, hopefully their
schedules will not change and all three players positive COVID19 can recover soon.

I think they should be transparent, as a fan we are also concern so it's nice if the NBA would make it transparent for everyone.
Now that the Pelicans are aiming for a playoff spot, they might struggle if one of the infected are part of the starting line up, I'm hoping now especially ZION.

since you haven't add the link of the news, let me add it,
http://www.nba.com/article/2020/06/30/new-orleans-pelicans-three-players-test-positive-david-griffin

I agree with you, if other teams make it public, why can't they.
I mean, what's the reason of keeping that information private when NBA is a public entertainment that everyone are interested to know.

With this news, would that hugely affect their chances now?
Need some thoughts here as there are odds available now from sportsbook shared in https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5091185.msg54712043#msg54712043
4730  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting Odds comparison on: July 01, 2020, 12:14:04 PM
I have used it before but according to my experience the alerts were a bit slow or inaccurate. If I went to the websites myself they would show different ranges (slightly but that is normal) for the games coming soon. It works best for games that are over 24 hours away, but then, not every book shows the odds so quick.

Missing quite a few sportsbooks there:)

If that's the case, then it would not be so useful for betters who like to get a timely odds comparison.
Personally, I never tried using the site shared by OP, I use other sites but not consistent since I'm not really a gambler who are doing it for business or as profession.
4731  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: BPlay Gaming site Platform [Binance Collaboration] on: July 01, 2020, 11:56:09 AM
Nice move again by Binance, this partnership would also make a gambling site popular as they are gain their reputation by partnering with Binance.
It's easy to gamble when you can link your binance account to a gambling site as anytime you can withdraw and deposit, I'm expecting more partnerships will come soon but I'm not expecting Binance would venture into a gambling business.

4733  Economy / Economics / Re: Lives vs Economy -- sad truth on: June 30, 2020, 09:52:18 PM
They want to but they can't save everyone, that is the reality because we haven't prepared for this pandemic.

Some country did exceptionally well in the pandemic like China and Singapore


yes, because they are first world country in Asia, they have good facilities and good government, but other countries are not facing the pandemic effectively.

now the government are more focus on the health matters

Some country has already start their economy back otherwise they wont survive this pandemic any much longer. Few months after most country declared their first case of the virus, lot of those country invest heavily into improving their healthcare system but now it would be different. They need to restart everything at the cost of lives otherwise alot more lives will be at stake

Economy is very important, same us lives of course but it's not always possible to protect both, there are some who would suffer along the way as that's how dangerous this virus is, but it should not stop us or the economy. If in big countries like in the US and UE can't control it, let us expect even worst in small countries if people will not cooperate with the government.
4734  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin to $150K and Ether to $9K on: June 30, 2020, 08:48:31 PM
I can not imagine it happening next year, if the price of Bitcoin to $ 150k maybe Altcoin really has a price of 1000% from now,
I can not wait  Grin for this come  Grin

It is good to dream and think positively that the price will rise to 150k in next, but what are the factors that will lead to this price rise. Frankly in coming next few years not seeing it rising so much but even if it crosses the first huddle of all time high till next year will be the good thing for now. Even if btc crosses 50k in near term will be the big thing for many people.


Yea, it's nice to have big dreams! We have seen even crazier predictions for btc, but until now I didn't see so optimistic prediction for eth. $50k is a reasonable prediction for btc, and that can happen next year, but about eth I am not sure we will see more than 2k, in case bitcoin rise over $50k. But all that are just predictions, and many of us are optimistic about the future of these two coins. Reality is something else, in my years here bitcoin surprised us many times, and in that I am sure, we will be surprised many more times, but that goes both ways, it can be a good and it can be a bad surprise. I was on both sides many times, and I am open for new surprises!

No one would hope for a bad surprise if we are optimistic with its future, but it's the nature of bitcoin, very unpredictable and volatile in a short period of time. If bitcoin hit that high, that might take a lot of time, but it doesn't matter as success should not be easy, slowly but surely, I think that's what we want to see as it would strengthen the foundation of crypto, not the other way around which is the pump and dump.

Lastly, I believe that nothing is impossible in crypto, even beyond our imagination, it could happen in a certain time or any time.
4735  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never Before Experience On Gambling...!!!! Stay Safe. on: June 30, 2020, 08:29:40 PM
i'm so agreed on the the second point... if you're in bad mood, don't you ever start gambling

It is also important to exit the game if your mood has changed to negative.
It often happens that when you sit down to play games you have wonderful feelings of anticipation and excitement, but after 10 minutes you are depressed and upset because of a series of completely unfair, in your opinion, losses.

It is at this moment that it is most difficult to exit the game, while this is the best decision that can be made in this situation.
But if you manage and can exit the game when you should, you will earn much more money and pleasure on this than you could.

Sometimes we can't prevent to feel that way, we are just human and we have emotions, it could be brought by different factors in our personal life but discipline is very important, we gamble for the main purpose of winning, therefore if we are not fully focus, there's always a reason to quit, but like I said, we need to be discipline, without that we won't be able to quit easily.
4736  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: List of Gambling Platforms with Issues. on: June 29, 2020, 10:26:51 PM
I think this is a good list overall.However in order to not fall victim of these type of scams we have the Gambling section here and I always turn back to that section to check what is going on in different casinos and in particular I check what is going on in the one I maybe tempted to register and open an account.When I check I make sure that all scam accusations are addresses if there are any in the first place and the public feedback is 100% positive for that specific casino.

   Swogerino I agree that's good to have lists like this one, many casinos have issues, but I must say that in Gambling section
we have casinos with their ann threads, and casinos that have their signature campaigns. I gamble just on sites from this forum
and I know I am a small time gambler with very low amounts, but I never had any kind of issue with any casino from this forum.


Same here, I only gamble on casinos that has an ANN thread here since I believe it's easy to call their attention here if they are messing with us.
The fact that they make an ANN thread here, that means they are interested to get some exposure in the forum, therefore as they are building their reputation here, they need to protect it, so they'll not messed around, thus far too, I have not scam yet.
4737  Economy / Economics / Re: Lives vs Economy -- sad truth on: June 29, 2020, 10:00:01 PM
Why don't they care about hospitals to save the lives of everyone?
They want to but they can't save everyone, that is the reality because we haven't prepared for this pandemic.

countries are more interested in building restaurants, luxury and entertainment than education and health.
countries have spent millions to host events from football, the end of games and entertainment, but they have spent little on health and treatment.
Age does not matter, it is this humanity that makes an individual's life precious whatever his age.
That was before the pandemic, but now the government are more focus on the health matters and big portion of its budget are going into this war, if only we see this coming, we have prepared for this, although Bill Gates said in one of his interview that virus like this will come but our government did not see it as its a serious threat, so hopefully we will learn from this.
4738  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: June 29, 2020, 02:36:41 PM

PG13 is no doubt on a star level as well, but I also don't understand myself, when he got injured and though had recovered fully now, my confident on him was never the same anymore.
I think he even improved on his shooting ability special on the 2018 - 2019th season of the NBA as per stat.

It's not about the improvement, I just thought anytime he can be injured again as for me he is already fragile, sorry to say this, it's just my opinion.
Same with DRose, I'm afraid that when PG will be injured again, he would struggle to claim his status again.

Good thing now that he has learn to be more accurate shooting outside, that would take him away from driving into the basket and he just need to be more careful now as if 2nd injury will happen, he might not be able to recover well. Sorry again,...

Maybe one of the reasons why PG13 and Westbrook did not worth with the OKC is because while PG13 has improve his shooting, Westrbook also struggle with his shooting that very season.
4739  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: June 29, 2020, 01:47:11 PM
Next to Lebron might be PG13.
PG13 is no doubt on a star level as well, but I also don't understand myself, when he got injured and though had recovered fully now, my confident on him was never the same anymore.

I don't really like the Harden and Westbrook style. I don't know why.
Maybe because of bad entertainment just like I said.


I like Westbrook over harden as he can bring some energy in the floor for his teammates, pair him with a superstar like Lebron, the team might become a championship contender.

I also like to add, my favorite is DROSE, though I miss the old DROSE but I'm still a fan.
4740  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: PAGCOR waiting for the approval to reopen land-based casinos. on: June 24, 2020, 11:46:02 PM
Fortunately for me, I have all membership cards in the big three (RW, COD, Solaire), however, I'm not interested to gamble because of health risk.

See. Here is one example that even people do have resources or any forms of access, they will not just go to the casino once it opened.

Surely, this mindset is also on other people as well.

That's why casinos are doing a dry run to have an insight on what should they expect once they adopt the new normal system.

I'm in favor of the casino opening. If only others see the situation in the Metro, especially those who hardly hit by the lockdown, they will able to understand how difficult for IATF to approve something.

Don't get me wrong though, I still supports PAGCOR plan on re-opening soon to really test how casino are going to do in this pandemic, however, I don't want to be another statistics,  Smiley

I would rather see the curve flatten first. And agree that I'm not the only one that has this mindset, and besides, I play in land based casino to get the lively atmosphere, but in this new norm, casino's will be quiet as hell, I don't know if there will be entertainment as well, like the live bands, so I will really skip and play online.

They might still have the same kind of entertainment but just like what you think, people are also thinking of the safety so the number of goers in a land based casino will significantly reduce compared to the past when everything was still normal.

I think if they reopens, this is not called a dry run, even if there are cases of infection from the casino or within the casino, the business will continue to run as the government can't afford it to stop.
